It's all good. Your post was fine by me and I agree, it is a waste of time for devs to track issues specific to one device. I really only asked because I was hoping the issue was a known one with a quick fix that didn't involve wiping data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefchopper:
Please do let us know. I can't see how you'd be able to get data that way unless you can enter the APN information of whatever foreign carrier you will use but hope I'm wrong and you are successful.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

If you root would it be possible to use an app like APN manager pro or APN global to add the APN number you need rather than to manually change the apn-conf.xml file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Someone in IRC put in a T-Mobile SIM and it picked up service AFAIK, though it would need the APN info to get data working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbcdave:
Wow! I finally decided enough people had beta tested the root method for me and while moving the new system over via odin my phone slipped off the desk and the battery fell out. Luckily it went back in to download mode, was still able to talk to odin and after transfer, wipe cache and reboot, all seems well. Thanks for the thread.

Is it really that bad having a whole 1sec delay for the screen coming on after pressing that butt-ugly home button? Just sayin.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
1. The delay isn't with the home button it wakes instantly when using the home button.

2. What is a thunderbolt user doing in the galaxy note 2 section?

Sent from my rooted galaxy note 2... U mad?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
I get the 1-2 second delay regardless of the power or home button being used to wake the screen. Is it annoying, yes, is it the end of the world no. But it is the principle of the thing and now I honestly can't recall if it was like that on day 1 or if I am just thinking it was.

So I am going to d/l imnuts clean stock rooted and re-flash just so I have a squeaky clean build and I'm a bit OCD anyways. I am waiting to see what Beans ROM Build 2 looks like but I can't get a big d/l like that until Monday at the office :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alice Kaye:
My phone lags sometimes with certain screens or massive scrolling. It's not bad, but noticeable. I don't know if you've had this issue at all, but I would love to know if you do after re-flashing. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sway40:
I don't have any lag anywhere, coming from dirty flashing right over stock.

tappin from the note ll
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProfEngr:
1. The delay doesn't bother me since I'm used to it in some form on any device I've ever used. It just struck me somewhat that people even noticed it. Guess it makes sense though that maybe a 4core device should just snap to attention.

2. This is my personal device still under contract for a few months. The Note 2 is provided by my employer. Just upgraded 2 days ago. Kept the unlimited data package too.

Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled discussion.

Odin will only run in Windows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
For some reason when I have Odin opened and then click PDA and go to the folder where unzipped the files, they are not there. I exit Odin and go to the folder....the file shows up. What is wrong? I have Windows 8 and Odin recognizes the Note as being connected. I don't get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drum747:
Did you unzip the file? Sorry. I see you did. Hmm

Sent from my rooted SGH-1605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
OK.....for the users of Windows 8 Odin does not work. I had to right click Odin and go to properties. Then Windows ran a test on Odin and I had to set it to run as XP service pack 2. Unfortunately, as Odin started to run it said not to unplug cable. So I hurriedly plugged the cable in. So I did a dirty install of JellyBeans. I have not tested, but Odin said it passed. It looked very cool.

Should I go and wipe cache in SR?? Would it hurt to just to do it??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
I have Win8 x64 and it ran fine for me, BUT I disabled my A/V while I used it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
I have 32bit. It worked is all I know and everything is as it was before except now it's rooted too! I am in awe of this stuff. Ever since my first Android phone I have been simply amazed......

Just if anyone has trouble with Windows 8 go into properties in Odin. Follow instructions. I found this fix by searching "odin not working windowd 8". There was a thread on an xda forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
As long as it worked. Oddly enough-I had the Droid DNA for a few days and couldn't use my Win8 rig to root it....had to use my Win7 x64 to root.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiderbolt:
I rooted bout a week ago n the inly thing ive noticed is my signal in not as stong im not sure if its the phone or something I did. I live n a soild 4g area n im only getting 105 dbm n 35 asu n with my rooted bolt I was getting anywhere from 80 to 90 dbm at 3 to 4 asu. I tried trevs tether n it works for bout an hour then I start lag n pretty much get kicked off I tether to my xbox the main reason I got this phone was to have a lil better connection whike tethering to my xbox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProfEngr:
A "solid" 4g signal for me is in the -70 range w/ 3-4asu. Yours sounds weak to non-existant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
at my house 4g sits around -98db with 40asu...data speeds are around 15-20mb down. my s3 was around -105db 34asu...both devices never drop data at that signal level and call quality is good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
When I get to work tomorrow I will d/l imnuts copy and reflash with odin and see what I get. Maybe its my imagination, maybe its the original build or nothing at all. Either way this phone is a keeper.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiderbolt:
Thats what I was getting with my bolt so I know the signal is there I don't drop calls or anything the only time I really notice is when im tethering i donno if it was something with root or if I did something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Damn dude is your house located at the base of a tower? lol

My girlfriends house is less than half a mile away from the nearest tower and best signal we get in her house on LTE is like -85dbm.

I always was under the impression that LTE signals dont' get as low as EVDO or 1xRTT can get. I've seen -40dbm on 1x when I had my Droid X on my Verizon Network Extender but as far as 4G signals go, I have yet to see dbm sub -80 range. And I live in NJ, that's like Verizon Wireless motherland. I pull consistent 30-40mbps down on my Note 2, in my house. 12-15mbps up. And that's at -88dbm 52asu. So yeah. That sounds pretty solid to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProfEngr:
There's a sprint tower about 200yds away. Not sure where the nearest vzw tower is. It played hell with calls when we were on att. Great signal strength reported by the bars, but the quality was in the tank.

I run on wifi when home since 4g has been known to vanish mysteriously around here.

Just ran speedtest (-81dbm 4g) at 14/11mbps. Not what I'd hoped to see, but fast enough since it's not a good idea to d/l roms and such through the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsadler09:
Thanks to all who made this possible, it couldn't have been easier. In case anyone is wondering about running this on XP, this worked just fine for me on Windows XP SP3.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
I don't think we are quite as close as you think. The access that Adam Outler had to the bootloader was a hardware mod (via the UART). It is definitely progress, but there is a lot of work to be done from what I understand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
That was just a review of a rom that beans made. The information he has about the bootloader is just about as much as we do. Yes Adam has successfully unlocked his bootloader but I don't think he has networking working yet so the "phone" part is kinda useless right now. Just wait it out man follow Adam on Google plus or twitter if you want the straight facts.

I am having an issue with my gallery. Prior to rooting I was able to hide my album folders. I have a ton of music on my phone and the cover art saturates my gallery. So I've hidden close to 200 cds. After rooting I don't see an option anymore to hide. Anyone else have this issue?

Just create an empty file called ".nomedia" in the most upper level folder of wherever your album art is stored. That will "hide" anything below that level from the gallery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hitman3984:
well, after thinking I had the problem fixed it started happening again.

After performing the mod to allow any app in multi window SU or superSU stops accepting SU prompts from new apps that require SU access and just crash.

Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

I'm using the image file provided by imnuts if that matters?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ks3rv3rg:
Have you tried wiping data /cache of the supersu app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hitman3984:
I did. it did nothing. Weather Superuser or SuperSU.

The file provided by Imnuts comes with superuser and even when I replaced it with supersu I had the same problem and it only happens WHEN I perform the multiview window mod to allow all apps to run in it.

I'm starting to wonder if it's because I was taking the original services.odex and renaming to .0dex.bak it before copying the new one over. When attempting a direct copy and replace I simply got stuck in a bootloop on 5 seperate occassions when trying the copy with es file explorer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
Are you setting the correct permissions?

Sent from my Galaxy Note II
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hitman3984:
according to the instructions for the mod short of copying some files over nothing else has to be done?

using es file explorer after mounting the system as writable I attempted to copy the correct files into the correct folders and over write the original files but, as mentioned above, when moving the services.odex file to the system/framework folder I get stuck in a bootloop.

Thread mentions this can happen but it should kick in and work after one or two attempts. It refused to work with me after 5, one other poster mentioned simply renaming the original file then copying and that worked but then I get the SU issues.

No where in the thread did it mention setting permissions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiderbolt:
Does anyone know a better app than phone info to switch lte on n off it works pretty good switching to 3g but I cant get it to switch back to 4g without problems like dropping signal all together ive tried every setting in the app n even tried just useing the phone settings n the moment I open the app I lose my signal again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
I use Phone Info to turn OFF 3G, and to get it back I do the following:

Go into System Settings - More Settings - Mobile Networks - Network Mode - and then pick the LTE/CDMA option. This will most likely have none of the three choices selected when you go into this setting after successfully turning off the 4G mode with the method in the link above.

This has worked for me, but I want a 4G toggle like I had on the GNex (with custom ROMs)!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WishRyder:
With the amazing battery life of the Note II (even with 4g on all the time), for the first time I don't feel the need for a toggle. In the very rare event I might want to shut it down, I'll just go into the Mobile Networks settings.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sway40:
I do agree 4g on all the time barely affects the battery, but there's no way to turn off 4g without the app "phone info" so we need a toggle at least.

In Section 2. Step 5:

"Place the revision3.tgz file you downloaded from step 2 in the PDA slot of Odin and the SCH-I605.pit in the PIT function of Odin, then select start. This operation should take around 8 minutes before odin will say pass/reset and your device will reboot."

Maybe the OPTIONS that are selected can be added to step 5 instructions. IE Check AutoReboot, RePartition, F.Reset Time and Phone Bootloader Update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Droidstyle...

I see that you added the following to the first post:

"Section 2: How to Root/Unlock Bootloader/ Flash TWRP recovery via Adam Outlers Casual

**This method will wipe data/Internal SD!!"

Is the part about wiping your Internal SD really correct? I thought it would only wipe the /data partition (effectively reverting your phone to a state similar to stock - removing any apps you have installed). Or am I confusing the wipe method between the custom recoveries and stock recoveries?

I just ask because I am curious whether titanium backup data would be preserved if stored on the internal SD storage. Or photos/music, etc.

I just put a 64GB MicroSD card in mine, and most of my data is on that external card, but want to know if I would lose anything upon unlocking.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Please remove the unlock instructions and point them at my thread.

1. it's in beta so it changes often.. Its less than 24 hours and your instructions are invalid.

I saw a post by Adam that may indicate the instructions for unlocking the bootloader may have changed since they changed casual to not mess with the EFS (carrier unlocking?).. might want to check it out and revise your instructions if necessary. Thanks for the detailed guides I really appreciate the effort.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
I'd appreciate it if he removed the instructions all together. The video handles everything, but he's decided to rewrite them in his OWN guide.

We don't need two guides for the same thing on the same site and I'm seeing issues with this guide on my thread. When I rewrite procedures, the changes should ripple immediately. Not a single other source except this one has tried to replicate they are pointing at the original.
