[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colinlow88:
Kinghu,

Thanks a million for your explanation and help.

It is great to have people like you helping out

I travel extensively to China and the dual sim phone is a great help.

If you need anything, please feel free to contact me at : colinlow@starhub.net.sg

Thanks, once again

First question:

You don't lose apps or anything like that, just the ability to grant root access to apps. This is because Superuser, which grants root privileges, gets removed when you flash a stock ROM or do an update. There may be occasions when a small update does not remove this but it's better to assume those files, which reside in a certain folder, are overwritten with a replacement folder from the update that obviously does not have Superuser in it.

If you did update and Superuser was gone, all that would happen is the app that requires root (such as Titanium Backup) would tell you Superuser (or root privileges) could not be found, and thus not work.

Second question:

The end result is the same - that is both result in a rooted phone. However, the method with the file in your posted link will increase the flash counter as it involves flashing a custom software after the ROM is installed. It will also result in the software status changing to 'Custom' instead of 'Official'. Having a 'Custom' software means the software updates will not work (it returns a message saying the software is modified so will not accept updates). There are guides to try and reset the status back to Official (thanks dr. ketan!) but it may not work for some reason.

The whole idea behind the pre-rooted ROMs is that the ability to have Superuser (root) and the Google framework is done before flashing the ROM. That is they are added to the stock ROM prior to flashing. The phone does then not need an additional flash to add root so the flash counter then remains 0, nor does it detect any software modification after rooting which triggers the 'Custom' status.

Personally, I need root to backup using Titanium Backup Pro. I also use it to disable (freeze) or uninstall system apps safely without the need to use Root Explorer or similar to enter system folders and delete files manually. Whilst some of the bloatware can be disabled in the Application Manager others need me to use Titanium Backup Pro. For me, it's easy, quick, and I can always 'unfreeze' or restore if ever I need to as I backup everything.

A note of caution: editing system files or removing them can trigger the phone to detect changes and then the software status becomes 'Custom' and you will not be able to get OTA update notifications unless you can revert the status back using dr. ketan's method mentioned above. Hacking around and editing system files does not increase the flash counter, though, So if dr. ketan's method doesn't work, you can always just re-flash the same pre-rooted stock ROM over the top, preserving your apps and settings, and be back to 'Official' status again (the phone thinks it's unmodified stock ROM so no flash counter increase).

It's a learning process but you will pick things up and understand better as you go. ;)[/QUOTE]

Forgot to say, my brother-in-law is in China and bought an N7102 the other day paying 4,200 RMB for a 32gb white model, so that's a guideline for the current price. Grey models seemed to be a few hundred RMB more than white last time I was there.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colinlow88:
Kinghu,

I check yesterday and it is now RMB 4150 for a 32 GB while model, and they also throw in a original spare battery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Seems like a reasonable price since there's been newer phones from rivals out for a while and the Note 3 likely due around October. Should keep falling as the days go by.

Hi everybody!, I've bought a N7102 device from aliexpress, and searching on internet I found that there are a lot of version of this device, like Haipai N7102, HDC N7102, etc. And I don't know which one is my device, here is a printscreen:

The ROM that was posted on the comment #928 of this thread, does it works for my device?. I've made my phone a mess after trying rooting and installing the CWM, and I'm looking for a clean ROM.

I will appreciate any comments, Thank you very much!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
If you bought a genuine N7102 then yes, those ROMs are fine.

However, it's hard to say from one screenshot alone. I'd be using Geekbench to check the performance and tech specs to make sure it's not a clone.

I use TouchPal contacts to get around this annoyance. It replaces the stock contacts and dialer and displays incoming caller ID fine.

I've changed phones now after being lured by the lovely Oppo Find 5. However, I can still quite easily update the ROM so will put them together later tonight (GMT) or tomorrow.

I won't be able to test them as I don't have the phone anymore but since it's the same process as the last ROM, they should work fine.

Will post back here with a link in a day or two so would appreciate if someone would try it and report back.

I'm an Ubuntu noob as well so there's no script from me unfortunately.

I just unpack the ROM and match up file locations from the flashable root zip and fix permissions. Then just do the same with the gApps zip repack again. It takes a bit longer due to the file count but not difficult.

If you can do one file you can do one hundred!

DMF2 stock ROM with Root/Google added.

Here's a stock DMF2 ROM pre-rooted and with Google framework added for those interested.

As noted yesterday, I no longer own an N7102 so cannot test but the procedure was the same as the last ROMs I did so they should work fine. However, as always with this stuff, flash at your own risk.

Interestingly, there were traces of the Google framework in the stock ROM or at least the link from Samsung-Updates, but only a few files which were overwritten with those from gApps for 4.1.x.

As usual this is only for N7102 and you should be able to 'dirty flash' over the top of DMD2, but a backup and clean wipe is always nice (it shouldn't raise your flash counter and retain an 'Official' status :D

DMF2-root-google.rar (936.5 MB) MEGA.CO.NZ

DMF2-root-google.rar (936.5 MB) BAIDU

Use Chrome if having issues with the MEGA link.

If you use it, please feedback how it flashes/works and I'll add it to my sig.

Pls help and advise

hi kinghu

i'm from hk and need to go sz for working daily so i get a N7102.

i have rooted and installed Google service. on the other hand, i changed fonts from simplified Chinese into traditional thru some post on website. Now it could use google store and google service and display traditional chinese.

however there has 1 thing i do not satisfied is it does not recognise the numbers and does not look up my contact list when i'm in hk. (when someone dial in, it just show like 2222-2222 calling but can't look up my contacts for example i put John +852 2222-2222)

do u have any idea on it ? isn't it i cannot change the firmware region to HKSAR ? thanks.

I have flashed the pre-rooted version contributed by King. However, I found that the front camera didn't work. It's perfect when our use the back camera but when you switch to the front camera, the system shows that "camera failed". I wonder if anyone experience that? Any solution for that?

Is There Any Samsung Galaxy Note II Dual Sim (N7102) Variant With Cheaper Hardware?

Hi All

I did a lot of search but i didnt find my answer! i bought a Samsung Galaxy Note II Dual Sim (N7102) for 550$ on eBay which was surprisingly cheaper than some other N7102s on eBay with about 800$ price! now i think i am the victim of a fraud! the screen margins are wider than a normal galaxy note2 and hardware is different! but on the front and back cover of the device you can see "SAMSUNG" brand!!!!! the seller says it is a genuine samsung cell phone but with cheaper config than galaxy note II (MTK 6589 CPU instead of Exynos and 1GB of RAM instead of 2GB ). there are many similar items on eBay and i think they are cheating with unaware buyers! they keep saying "this is international version not US version!".

I cant post urls here because i am a new user! but if you search these titles you can find two of them:

How can I root mine? Help please

Hello.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II Dual Sim.

Model Number: GT-N7102

Android Version: 4.1.1

Baseband Version: N7100XXALIE

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-178067 SMP PREEMT Sat Feb 2 17:58:59 CST 2013

Build Number: JRO03C.N7100ZSALIA

Custom build version: I968.H23B.02.05.I.A-V1.0.1B02Q33

I tried rooting it using the steps given by kinghu but when I try to go to Download Mode (VolDown + Home + Power), it displays options that are in Chinese (I think it's a clone from China :confused:). So, yeah, I can't quite root it with that.

Next, I tried using Root with Restore by Bin4ry. I have ADB Composite Interface Driver and enabled USB debugging in the device. But at the end, it says that "mount: permission denied (are you rooted?)". I've tried v17, v18, and v25 but they all resulted to that.

Is there someone who successfully rooted their Galaxy Note N7102?

Can someone please help me root mine? Thank you in advance. :)

Ah. just got this phone from CN yesterday.. opened it and realized that all the google services are blocked. Came back to Hong kong, tried to work around using amazon apps or just getting from googleplay via web. Still no dice. Looks like will have to reflash this phone based on the earlier suggestions.

However, I'm completely new to this and don't want to take the risk in bricking my this phone. Nor do I want to invest in the time. So i have 2 options.

1. Sell it and just buy a standard note2 - here if you guys are interested in taking this off of me? Looks like there's a lot of able people here in getting this to work.

I've used the phone literally for a few hours just to try to work around the google apps issue. .. so this is new/ open box. Bought for $5699 RMB, still have receipt from the dealer. Everything in the box is still in tact. Located in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. Will be traveling to Jakarta this weekend (dec 15-17) if you want to meet up. I'd like to get as close to my buy price as possible as this was just used for a few hours. Will take RMB,HKD, USD or IDR.

2. Anyone in HK interested in reflashing for me for a small fee?

let me know either way. Thanks! :good:

Snycing Gapps and other issues

So I managed to root the beast and install Gapps but of course it wont sync anything Google made.

I was hoping this will work once I ll be out of China, but reading the previous post from the person in Hong Kong, this wont help.

It seems I have to activate the "Google apps device policy" app.

I could download the app but activation says "Error encountered while trying to register the device". I guess this is another chinese issue...

Last but not least, impossible to delete those useless chinese apps. I can stop them but not delete them. Any idea? I thought that maybe upgrading to SuperSU PRO will help, but GooglePlay doesnt allow me to download it. China again...
