which recovery to flash on Note 2 e250L
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:
I am at work, so i will upload later the stock Samsung kernel with selinux support :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
I need the kernel sources

I see nothing on Samsung site, at least a few days ago

Stock selinux kernels are enforced and cannot be rooted

I compile them my self from sources
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:
Is this good for you?

Stock kernel with selinux permissive
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
All new stock Samsung kernels have root blocking

Only SuperSU can root them. CWM Superuser cannot unless a special fix is done in ramdisk

To simplify my life, I also need to enable some flags to have exfat and NTFS drivers built inside the kernel, no more loading from ramdisk

But, the good question is: what is wrong and what are exact bugs with current recovery?

If some one can resume them here, as I probably no longer remember what was the issue!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:
I am running the su as deamon through an init.d script to have root access.Cant be done the same for cwm?

But anyway if you need to enable flags in kernel we have to wait for sources :(

Fortunately for me, i dont have any problem with your recovery so cant help with issues.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
If it works for you, then great

Let's see next update I will push

If things are not working, I could give your kernel a trial, maybe root blocking is not present, but I really doubt it as this is the case for all 4.3 kernels now

SDCARD1 working/notworking

I'm using the latest version " which has the "SDFIX" on N7100 4.1.2 rooted.

once the SDCARD1 or USBDRIVE0 unmounted, they never come back again as mounted.

The scenario is as the following:

1- In recovery, go to "Mount and Unmount".

2- By default, the SDCARD1 is not mounted yet, so, click on "Mount /storage/sdcard1".

3- Screen waits for 2 sec. then Black for 2 sec. then back to Main menu.

4- Yes, SDCARD1 mounted correctlly.

5- Repeat step 2, 3 to Unmount it.

6- Yes, SDCARD1 Unmounted successfully.

7- Repeat step 2, 3 to re-mount it, it will never be mounted again.

The same happened also whenever i connect a flash memory using the Micro usb.

The funny thing:

Whenever trying to Run AROMAFM, it hangs after few seconds.

Whenever trying to Run "DrKetan_MultiTool", it hangs after few seconds.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
This is probably related to vold crashing

I am not sure of the issue

You have an exfat or fat32 card?

What is its size?

Seems like some systems can force mount a fat32 card as exfat

Not sure if that's the cause

Also, could be vold crashing on some too big fat32 cards
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] robekia1:
For the SDCARD1 --> It is Fat32, 32GB.

For the Memory Stick --> It is Fat32, 32GB.

Both was working under TWRP, but i like to Use yours...

is there a solution or i should wait till the coming update?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Wait, cross fingers and hope
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] robekia1:
Some Extra Points

1- If i used Older version "6.0.3.7" --> "philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100", the SDCARD1 appear as "external_sd".

2- That version fixes the Mount/Unmount issue for the external.

3- Mounting/Unmounting takes No time --> very quick.

4- But the USB is not recognized any more !!!

:confused::confused:

Will Support 4.3 Official Base ?

As the title said above. will anyone clear up my mind about it ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] andrew.mackew:
:( Got it too..

Got the same problem here... :(

Any clue to fix it?

My wife's phone didn't have this problem, unfortunately my phone got this problem...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:
You use the same rom in both phones?

If yes then switch the cards.Does the problem transfered to your wife's phone?

And if yes then whats the difference between the cards?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] andrew.mackew:
Yes, same rom for both phones (CM10.2), same recovery (PhilZ's recovery), however different version. My wife's phone is using version 5.15.0 (I was lazy to update to 6.00.8). Both cards has 64gb, using fat32.

Additionally, I wonder why it takes a time to go to SDCARD01, when I am flashing a new rom, cuz TWRP just jump instantly to SDCARD01.

I really really really like and enjoy PhilZ's work, in my humble opinion this is from far the best recovery for my phone and hopefully he gonna update with a fix and maybe new features soon.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] OldBoy.Gr:
Phil is already aware of those issues mentioned from earlier posts in this very thread and he's working on a solution, but it would be very much more helpful to him if you would provide him some logs which you can obtain right from his recovery. This would help him pinpoint way easier the source of the problem and address it appropriately. After all Phil like all devs is human so he can't just wild guess what the problem is every time without a log. So please, provide logs, help him to help you.

Life is what happens while we... make plans!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
TWRP chose to drop vold.

They use custom fstab and system mount

Vold does a check on mount/unmount removable media. That causes the delay on first mount
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shailraj:
Sorry for the noobish question... So which is the most stable Version as of now for 4.3roms? I am currently on v6 is 5.15more stable? What's the main difference?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] andrew.mackew:
Thanks Phil for clarify this point. Actually, I gonna keep PhilZ's recovery instead. The time to mount the SDCARD01 doesn't really matter to have the best recovery.

Looking forward for new improvements and updates as always you do.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shhbz:
+1 on the update Hope to get it working as 5.15.0
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
In the meantime Phil, thank goodness for 5.15 , it stands like a fort :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Dwokfur:
I could only use 5.15.0 with SVA 5.0. Neither 5.08, nor 6.0 or 6.02 worked. Only 5.15...

Stuck in a recovery boot loop on n7105

Hi Phil3759

I've been ising your recovery for some time. Thank you :)

I've flashed philz_touch_6.00.8-t0lte.zip.

I installed a new ROM and, it all went fine (Dito n3, Aroma installer).

I've finished the instalation, and didn't let Aroma do the reboot.

Then did a Reboot Recovery, by mistake, and now I'm on a Recovery boot loop.

N2 boots, I can see the touch buttons below, in blue (strange because I haven't change the defaul colors), but no options at all, and it boot loops rigth after, and goes on and on...

I've searched but the closest think says to flash through ODIN, wich I'll do after.

I just wanted to ask if there is some other way, or if this (ODIN flash) will correct this problem, and if I can provide any aditional information you may find usefull.

Thank you.

Best Regards

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Linuxx84:
For me philz 5.15.0 is the best! Choose this!!! :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Surely the next update, hopefully soon, will be the best! :)

Actually I'm looking forward for that!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rjdoli:
I've reflashed philz recovery using PC Odin and still no luck.

After some reading and not having found anything like this problem, I tried several things, including chain fire's cf-root. At this point I was able to pass the recovery bootloop, and the rom started OK.

Now I have to flash recovery again, to change to the next rom when time comes, but at least now I'm able to use the phone :)

Don't know if it's important, but I'm still on the older bootloader, without knox.

Thank you all and have a nice 2014 :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] erickwill:
Really awesome news! An update! I was waiting eager for this! :)

Thank you very much PhilZ!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] DirtyHarrx:
Couldn't find an entry in the changelog regarding the N7100. I assume the "CM11"-version improves the KK compatibilty?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] robekia1:
I'm still having the same issue after the last update:confused:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
All versions start of 6.02.2 are KitKat based

Since many devices are left by Samsung, you won't have a good kernel supporting kitkat to make recovery work

If it bugs, stay to latest cm-10.2 builds, which your phone supports until some devs port your kernel to kitkat properly

If no need to kitkat, no need to update
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Phil3759,

To flash 4.3 ROM, which version of Philz Touch Recovery do you recommend? TQ. :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] OldBoy.Gr:
I used v5.15 to flash latest Phoenix v16.7, 4.3 rom and it worked like a charm. But then again Philz recovery always works like a charm ;)

Life is what happens while we... make plans!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
What you quoted is your answer
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Sorry Phil3759, I'm a bit confuse. do you mean version lower than 6.02.2? I read somewhere in this forum people recommends to use 5.15. Is this good enough? TQ. :good:

All versions start of 6.02.2 are KitKat based
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vali_ics:
I have only 1 problem, why i can't flash OmniRom with this cwm ? I have 5.15 because with the new update i can't install Phoenix Rom.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kifla127:
OmniRom is KitKat,so you need to updade your recovery
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kInOzAwA:
philz_touch_6.07.9-n7100 seems buggy.

1) it laggy in everything, took up times to show everything

2) mounting aroma file manager seems not working. it hang while mounting devices. took up times to show mounting devices but then, it hang.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] erickwill:
I felt the same here, while flashing a few new kernels I was compiling.

However, I have pretty sure that Phil is working hard to figure out this issue and implement new features. ;)

By the way, thanks [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] for supporting and keep up this awesome recovery.

PS. Fellas: just a heads up, let us attach the logs, so important, for debug purposes.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Dwokfur:
It would be good to have a list of suggested versions

For example the suggested version for N7102 with JB4.3 based stock or modified stock ROM is currently 5.15.0.

It's a good recovery!

Yes, I also got it here. Oh man..... I love this recovery..... and am quite anxious for an update as the other devices that he support got a new cwm version :) crossing finger that Phil gonna read this and give us such gift.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kInOzAwA:
that's for android 4.3. For flashing custom android 4.4 version ROM, it's difference story where the latest stock cwm based (the latest philz touch 6) should be used. Now i just reverted back the recovery to version 5 after flashing the ROM :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] guitarz:
I've been using the latest version with 4.3 custom rom.

Still experience some lagging.

Also, after I press reboot system, from time to time, it stuck after boot logo

showing that there's a problem with firmware and it tells me to connect the phone to pc.

Pulling out battery and then boot up manually solve this
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] 80000037:
Does anybody here still have copy of Philz 5.15 ? I notice Phil remove the old version links on the 1st page.

I just would like to address you I am your fan! :D You made (with your tweaks) the best recovery for t0lte so far. I saw you updated many of other devices with the latest cwm version plus your usual improvements.

Actually I am eager to see these stuffs for our phones too. Any chance to give us this gift? :)

Thank you

Hi Philz, I got a bootloop, it starts, enter into the Sams logo and go back to restart. The md5 match with the downloaded file. Any thought? Thanks! ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
I really have no idea.

How can I have when people just say: it doesn't work, it bootloops... No one cares to provide logs or dmesg

Anyway, what if we start from the beginning and people answer my questions:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The_Steph:
Phil3759,

I faced the same issue as erickwill.

Flashing previous recovery using Odin set it all back.

As the issue could be solved, I am not against flashing the recovery a second time. However I think it could be difficult having useful information as the mobile does not start at all. At least when I chose reboot recovery.

Here are my details:

- model n7100

- AOSB ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2336271), embedded kernel

- /cache/recovery log is attached to this post (I only kept today's log files)

- dmesg sorry I can't get one

- stock cwm is currently building up, I will keep you posted. Edit. Build finished, flashed and everything is fine.

After CWM started I did a new flash of yours with it and same issue occured again. Flashed previos version using Odin and I am back to my ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Thank you a lot. Recovery doesn't even load as logs are from other versions

You tested a recovery compiled from latest stock sources (6.0.4.7) or from online builder?

What version is the stock cwm you compiled?

Maybe a broken sync as all Note 2 variants seem broken!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The_Steph:
Philz3759,

This is the link to the instance of the online builder I used: http://builder.clockworkmod.com/done?build_id=6ed7aa2fa6ce531048d2fa4b0fbd6006

I think Ihave read that it was 6.0.4.7 but I am not 100% sure.

To be honest flashing an img file from an online building service was a leap of faith :p

Hopefully the issue will soon be fixed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Thank you a lot

Will try to sync sources and revise kernel changes

Something went wrong with all note 2 variants. Galaxy S3 variants are working despite they share same kernel sources!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The_Steph:
Philz3759,

No problem mate, thank you for all your hard work!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] erickwill:
Sorry Phil, I was out of my pc so I couldn't provide you those files. Nice that someone else provided these files ;)

Anyway, thanks for the great recovery! Hopefully you gonna figure a fix for this issue. Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
I will be uploading a test version where I reverted some kernel changes, mainly the part I introduced related to new exfat drivers
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kkoolpatz:
Looks very promising. Just one question. I am currently on chenglu's recovery. can i directly recover the nandroids taken on his recovery via this one?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Yes, no problems in that regard
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kkoolpatz:
superb. Just going through the features, i see this..

full wipe before flashing new ROM: wipe user data + format /system and /preload. SD card content is not affected (internal is wiped on /data/media phones)

i know NOTE 2 has the same contents in sdcard0 and /data/media... So if i do a wipe data will it also wipe my internal SDcard?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
I do not have a /data/media phone, but I do fear that wiping /data on these devices actually also formats internal. Normally, cwm new code added checks for that, but I am not sure. If some one tried it, he can report
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kkoolpatz:
hmm.. Thats scary. there's really no way to backup sdcard into an img if we were to test and restore. I am taking a backup right now. I am curious to know if it will backup /data/media contents too.

BTW - not that annoying but will help if you can do something about the settings toggles. Once you are back to "1" in the menu height, you need to click it 5 times to get it right. instead can you bring up a menu with all the options? Same for border offset and other menu options.

Also there is no haptic feedback for physical buttons on note 2.

EDIT: Also the aroma file manager installation is hanging. it says installing update >> AROMA file manager version 1.8 by /AMMARULZ .. and does nothing at all.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The_Steph:
Phil3759,

Here you go. Full set of fstabs :)

Let me know if other tests needs to be done.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dlt0rre:
I have the same problem! :crying:

Any idea?

:confused:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Now that's a big help. Many thanks for all your investment.

It seems for some reason, the /etc/fstab generation fails at adding /external_sd device, that's why the mount fails with the device not found error

I need a bit more help here:

Download and unzip in adb folder the fstab file attached here

While in my recovery, from pc cmd

adb push fstab /etc/fstab
mount -t exfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd

If it fails to mount, try directly this, after having pushed /etc/fstab as above

insmod /lib/modules/exfat_core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/exfat_fs.ko
mount -t exfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd

The attached fstab has the /external_sd device address manually added

the insmod makes sure exfat drivers are correctly loaded

If you get a folder mount error, make sure you create /external_sd folder

adb shell
mkdir /external_sd

and remount as above without and with insmod commands

This will let me guess why fstab is not correctly generated. If it we fail loading the exfat modules with insmod, it could be some permissions missing.

This output will help me:

adb shell
ls -l -R /lib

And copy paste the output here. It will list permissions for the /lib folder, subfolder, and all driver modules

I am working meanwhile on tracking the fstab generation in the code

Hope you can give me the above results and output
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The_Steph:
Phil3759,

Here are the results (3.65 XXALJ1 version not R or R2) once I pushed fstab (and rename first fstab to fstab.old).

I think there is an issue in module loading then :p One important point are you compiling the modules or do you "import" them from another ROM. If you import them from somewhere else, I think that you have a vermagic problem. Your module have vermagic=3.0.31-259982 and I don't know what is relevant in this case. Otherwise, I have no clues.

One last point, there is a recovery.fstab file in my etc folder, you will find it attached.

Hope it will help you to finally solve this issue :)
