I'm using the recovery from the kbc wiki. I odin'd it the other day. Seems good. It let me flash that Japanese CM ROM so it works. I'm going to try xylon just for kicks. Did you like it?

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

I noticed that most of it was in Japanese :) lol. I also have no clue what osaifu keitai does or those other two you mentioned. Apparently I don't use my phone for that stuff I'm guessing? I use it for the same stuff I did state side and no problems so far.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Yeah I liked Xylon, real zippy. I kinda preferred Vanilla Rootbox though because it had more of the AOKP nav bar options, but I used both that were compiled and maintained by manelscout4life, but he got banned for some reason. You can find them over on rootzwiki though.

The reason I came back was I missed TW gestures and some of the s-pen features
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
Yeah, I enjoy TW. It's really come a long way, but I'm tired of all the Docomo stuff... I don't use any of it. Sprint put one or two Sprint specific things on their phone but it was easily gotten rid of. Docomo seems to put quite a bit on there. I think I'll try out one of those two ROMs and see if I miss TW for now. I can always change back later. I really wanted AOKP but I'm not comfortable editing stuff like build.prop. Oh well.

Just noticed that APN Backup and Restore is telling me that Android 4.0+ doesn't allow 3rd party apps to delete or restore APNs. How did you do it?

Also, What recovery are you using?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
On a side note, or update... I successfully got AOKP nightly to install. It took a bit of research, but I was able to update the "updater script" in the ROM zip file, re-sign it, then flash it, flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik, then flash the AOSP kernel for our phone. It boots up quickly and is quite snappy. Two questions though, 1. What is the difference between our phone and the N7105? 2. How do I know if i did/didn't set up the APN correctly? What will not work?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Ah ok, did you remove the get_prop command from the top of the script?

I think there are some hardware differences, maybe that's why flash and vibrate don't work on other custom kernels. I haven't really checked out.

With apn back up restore. In the menu disable the ics warning. Then convert it to a system app, use Titanium Backup or root explorer. Then open it again and restore your apn and then it'll be fine.

You'll then need to go into the data or the more settings and set apn to spmode and you'll get your cellular data connection.

As regards to what works, everything should I think. Let us know if otherwise.

Edit: I use TWRP 2.5. I don't use osaifu keitai so no problem for me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
Yeah, I deleted the top portion regarding the assert script. Worked great after. I am using XDA app on my 3g or h(whatever that equates to) so I'm assuming I set up my APN correctly. AOKP is working great BTW. Snappy and smooth :) Thanks foot your help!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Yeah sounds like your apn are set. You might need to select lte in the advanced options or in the other menu to turn on the radio. Sounds good. Enjoy the ribbons!

Lockscreen Mod

Anybody on rooted stock Rom interested in trying out a toggle lockscreen Mod.

It was giving me a headache previously as the smali for ours had extra dependencies based on what launcher you were using.

Ended up being easier than I realised and just had to remove these extra lines :eek:

Anyways the mod now toggles between stock TW lockscreen and what should be AOSP lockscreen, but has DCM elements. It seems the docomo lockscreen is a modified AOSP version. I like it as your media player can be shown unlike the TW version. I'll see about the button images though as they're a little ugly!

Let me know if you want the mod:good:

Possible Root?

There's a discussion going on in the developer only forum about an insecure root method through the kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2048511

Chainfire has created an apk which uses this exploit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

Just wondered if this would possibly work on ours. Its not been verified yet.

I'm gonna see what happens!:fingers-crossed:

Edit: Not working for me, causes a hot restart. I'm on stock ROM/Recovery.

Are we unlocked?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:
All I want for Xmas is a root.

I just gave it a shot but no good It maybe because i have cwmr installed. My offer still valid for the first root. $50.00 donation
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
If it works on my phone, yes. No problem. I gave 3 Desire HD cases away last year to XDA folk, and they were mailed to international addresses.

As far as rooting is concerned, I expect the Chinese will get there first..

It's a shame. Now we have Modified status, and can't update, reset or show the phone to NTT Docomo. I feel like a naughty boy.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Have you tried running the exploit posted by Chain fire, the ExynosAbuse.apk? It might be able to install SuperSU.

I'll make a note of that
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
Same result as you. It just restarts the phone.

I'm also on stock ROM/Recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Why does it appear to only be our note 2 that cannot use the root exploit. Most articles out say nothing about it.

EDIT: I just tried Supercurio's patch apk, and that fixes the exploit. I got the green screen on the camera. What is it that's preventing SuperSU binaries from being applied? Could it be one of the Docomo apks that is notified to Super User being installed and causing the system to reboot?

EDIT2: Anyone having error 502 with their purchased apps in the play store if they tried the exploit? Seems that even though the root wasn't applied its acted like a factory reset and appears as a new device in the store at least for me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
I have tried that. I also said that su got deleted.

Seems that your source is not successful as well.

I am looking for a way to trace which application docomo is using to detect su.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:
there has to be a script somewhere in the boot .I extracted the boot.img but did not have time to look through the files.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
I was thinking more of a special apps that Docomo had written.

I had successfully copied su binary into my system without being deleted away.

But some how it got modified into 0 byte.

I am still trying but need my phone for work.

Therefore no time to do more test right.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCider:
Thanks for all who's working on trying to free this device!

In the lull of the conversation, I'm wondering something.

Would it be better to get an international version (if you don't care about 1seg TV and Osaifu Keitai) and (care more about NFC, because it's absent on the Japan Model), and simply root the International model and rig it to work on Docomo Network (is it even possible?), as I think there is a successful root for the Int'l version of the Note II, isn't there?

Seems like it's a lot of trouble trying to get the Japan Note II to be rooted.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oreofreak:
One of the biggest feature and most important one to me is you won't have lte on the international version.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
As for an app could there be an anti virus scanner embedded into the software that is blocking the exploit from applying root?

Another thing I wondered if it was the d market preventing root? When I was on au the au market denied access if you were rooted. I wondered if the market app detected super user causing the hot restart, or erasing the su bin file?

Would it be possible to flash this rom to a i317m (LTE, North America), and flash the original Modem/EFS over it to maintain full domestic (North American) LTE bands?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
There isn't any modem or efs image included in the zip, so you can try flashing it as is. Is there any particular reason why you'd want to?

I just re-read the change log, derp.

Mostly I want for docomo jp keyboard (instead of google's jp kb), docomodake, and other docomo stuff for when I'm using my account in jp. I might be confused though, perhaps I should flash stock 4.1.1 rom and then flash modem/efs instead?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Got to this post:

It has a list of libs, permissions etc you'll need to extract from a SC-02E ROM to get the keyboard working on an international ROM.

If/when you come to Japan I guess you could just flash one of those roms you posted about. Shouldn't be a problem.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
Hey Robobob, Any recommendations on a 4.1.2. touchwiz ROM for our phone? I kind of wanted to play with the multiwindows. I tried CleanROM from the Tmobile section once and my camera kept crashing so I don't know if TW Roms from other carriers work on our phones too well.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I'm running my own docomo ROM, with a few bits added to it, and some image changes.

In terms of what's out there. I liked MyRom in the T-Mobile section,but had issues with sending sms. Only one though. And it has a lot of customization. To be honest that's the only one I checked out.

What you looking for? With multi window if you want all apps there's the xposed framework.

Anyone else tried out other tw ROMs for other note 2 variants?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
Well make your ROM available. LOL. I would like to have just a straight touchwiz ROM, but with out all the Docomo crap. That's why I ran with AOKP for a while... I like it for the bloatless-ness but for some reason, I really like TW. I'm not too good at messing with frameworks and all that... Time is probably the biggest factor... Navy keeps me pretty busy so I learn what I can.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Lol. Let me see about that. Its still got all the bloat on it currently as I haven't looked in to getting rid of stuff from docomo or Samsung. Also not sure about osaifu keitai as I run a custom recovery. I'll look into the bloat and then I'll try and make it available, later today if I can.

There is the aciddetox rom from vip, there's a link in the op. It has most of the docomo crap removed. However the root method we found & used isn't as reliable as the root method I'm using now from the KBC developers.

EDIT: I've been removing bits and pieces. Can't get rid of the Docomo Launcher yet without causing the Setting change home force closing the settings. I might remove that entry and remove the launcher that way maybe....

Even with those removed it still weighing in aroun 850mb rather than 980mb. I can remove more inc the Samsung apps if you don't use them. I can probably get it down to 750mb odd that way.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
I'm not too worried about ROM size, just getting rid of the apps I don't or won't ever use. It's all good though, you don't have to go through the trouble of makin' a ROM man. Do you happen to have a list of apps from system/apps that are tested not to crash anything if removed. I'm not above doing leg work, but I see no reason to do re-work if you had a handy list. If not, no biggie. I can test :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Like I say, been playing around with a few things. I haven't made a list, no.

Is there a list in the op or a link to?

I should have something to flash sometime tomorrow
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
There was a list with the two detox roms, but it wasn't very clear as to what was deleted or kept. CM10 is pretty dope, but Samsungs camera and gallery app sure are hard to beat LOL. Do you know anything about a docomo WIFI app? I just Odin'd to MC2(I think it's the most current) and it kept wanting me to change my wifi settings. Apparantly the default pwd is 0000 but it wants me to change it. What the hell is this? and will it rack up my bill? I was given a username and pwd for docomo hotspots when I signed up, so is it something to do with that?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Change the pwd to what ever you want.

Its a security measure, if you buy stuff in the play store for example to confirm your payment you'll enter that password.

They won't be any extra costs.

Ok, I'm uploading the ROM now. Its rooted, deodexed, with a few additional root apps, and most of the docomo and a few of the Samsung apps removed as well. I removed a few of the google apps too but kept gmail, and maps, and talk has been updated to hangouts. Its 820MB for now. I've made a few changes appearance wise, and will hopefully do a bit more at a later date.

The quick toggles are no longer stock, but based on wanam's lidroid mod. If you check the settings there's a new 'Rooted Addons' section, with the extra root apps I've included.

What recovery are you using? I'm using TWRP, and it will ask you to fix root and busybox permissions after flashing the ROM, say yes to this if using TWRP. I dunno what it will say in CWM

Edit:Check my next post for link
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richarrp:
I'm using the CWM from the github you have linked. I tried TWRP 2.5 from the n7105 forums and couldn't use it to install that sammy kernel located on the github so I switched back. Thanks for your hard work. I'll give it a spin after a nandroid :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I haven't done much really to be honest. added a few things is all :good:

Let me know if you have any issues with su and busybox. I will probably have to fix up the updater, just not sure if it'll affect root either way.

In my signature there's a link to more links for those things that I've included. I like using them; LMT makes navigating around a lot easier, the pie, gestures, and swipes, the xposed framework + app settings lets you change dpi on things like gmail and chrome its nice. Plus there are a few modules I threw in there, which you may like. the viper thing is two sound settings which run pretty nice, just install the drivers, and you'll need to download the irs samples from the thread. and the quick toggles adds more options to the notification toggles. Not much really but more for convenience.
