Yes, but you can easily get back - and possibly help me if you can dump - by following steps!

1) Download a custom recovery tar before updating and flash after update. Hear TWRP is the popular one.

(Recovery is updated in this package according to ZIP contents)

2) Flash the following file from custom recovery:

http://garwynn.rainmotorsports.net/subusybox.zip

(This contains su, Superuser and busybox)

3) Reboot

From here I'm hoping someone will be nice enough to dump the system partition and upload for me.

Then I can repack into a one click odin package for easy restores if needed.

General folks will want to flash this but should probably have an idea of what this does and how to do it.

Dev Discussion, from what I've been told, is for developers to discuss their builds - meaning custom ROMs and AOSP based projects.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Dump as in just adb pull /system ? Id be willing to help, just have never done this before lol. Going to flash stock zip in a few.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Easiest way may be the GNote2 Toolbox in the Original Dev forum for Modem and boot.img

System is actually very easy from ADB after rooted.

I know the command but don't know the GN2 file structure to tell you where to put it.

So just replace <somewhere> with a valid path (i.e. /data/, /sdcard/, etc.)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/<somewhere>/factoryfs_orig.img bs=4096

Then do an adb pull to the PC, upload that file and send me the link please by PM.

As a reminder I need 2 system dumps: LJC rooted and LK8 rooted.

I'll remove root objects from LK8 to get a stock version.

Thanks again for any help you can offer!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoshBeach:
Sex tape and garwyn... let me know if u have this covered? I have done this before and can bang it out tonight if u need me to.

Thanks for the leak! :)

Guys donate to the team.. we will get more leaks!!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
No one has PMed yet so still need the LJC and LK8 dumps as requested in 1st post of each.

Hoping people can do them tonight so I can pull them and have one clicks out by the weekend!

*Edit*

Also forgot one smaller issue - the flash order.

Learned this with the E4GT but the stock flash order for LJC will be good to have for stock restore one clicks.

If anyone flashes it please just copy the text box from Odin and paste it in a PM for me. Thanks!

Once I can gather all the details I'm hoping to update Chris41g's E4GT notes to cover the Sprint GS3 and GN2 as well!

That way anyone else can make custom ROMs flashable through Odin!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrick_1:
I'm running stock/rooted with TWRP recovery, I read earlier and understand how to regain root (thanks garwyn) but is stock recovery required to flash this update?

THANK YOU SXTP/GUYS FOR THIS LEAK!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoshBeach:
You need to flash the tar through odin first. then flash update through stock recovery.

Either me or someone will eventually post a flashable odexed and deodexed rom zip, and a odin flashable tar.

it says 4 hours for download, I dont know if I can get to it tonight. so maybe someone else will do it before me.

VIPERBOY is making the odin flashable and the deodexed and odexed zips... :)

Thanks Viperboy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Im trying to dump the partitions for you guys before flashing the update.zip but still a noob at this type of thing lol

Hey garwynn, do you have a gtalk or something I could add you to real quick?

EDIT: I think I dumped everything right, just have no where to upload factoryfs_org.img as its a big file

Can tell me someone tell me if Google Wallet works on this build? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwright64:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bobbywatts:
I did it the old fashion way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrick_1:
Being that I'm running stock LJC with TWRP, is it possible to use mobile odins flash update.zip feature?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigJPNut:
I still think you need stock recovery for this. Just download stock recovery from perseus thread and update that way just to be safe. After that just flash custom recovery of choice and the su/busybox.zip from the beginning of this thread and reboot. DONE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwright64:
The tab on the multi screen was moved. That's all I've noticed so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ix3u:
All you have to do to move the table before was long press it... So I'm not sure if I would consider that new ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwright64:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Ok I have LJC and LK8 modem.bin, boot.img and factoryfs_orig.img just like you asked. I dumped them all while rooted though. I have the modem and boot image on devhost for both but not sure where to upload the system dumps as they are big files.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Big thanks to slick_rick who was able to get the dumps that I needed!

Working on test one clicks already, will need a volunteer to test.

Please make sure that you have LJC full restore handily available.. just in case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] radrian92:
So I just updated to lk8 and I'm getting screen freeze in some apps, gmail, gallery to name a few. Process I took was lj1»ljc»lk8. Any one else getting the same problem? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Did you do LJC by OTA, one click or another process?

Might want to try LJC full restore and then LK8 update .ZIP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] radrian92:
Accepted the update. I might have to do the ljc full restore than lk8 zip

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Btw the file sextape has on the website is so freaken weird lol, don't know exactly how to use it :(

It's not a exe file but an "application"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
PM me if you need help or have suggestions on how to improve it.

(I always welcome those as I know my design skills are not the best!)

AH! (think I know what you're talking about now...) The file name - rename to update.zip.

Instructions should be in the first post.

Good news is that once I verify a few things I'm hoping to have an easier way to get to LK8 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] radrian92:
Isn't it suppose to be a exe file? It says it's an application. This is what I'm getting once I extracted the file, a "downloader creator v1.8". I'm not familiar with this oc :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Dang it, thought that was fixed.... Try http://d.h-st/e7Q

LJC link also updated to the above in LK8's first post.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:

(Sorry, reversed the - and . when copying from my phone :) )

BIG Favor!

If either of you flash the LJC one click please copy the text from Odin and send it in a PM.

I

really really

need this to get going on rooted and "Nodata" one clicks for LJC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] radrian92:
Downloading. Thank you very much. People as helpful as you are a rarity here in the gn2 forums:crying:

Makes me miss my e4gt and all the wonderful contributors/devs :good:

EDIT: I'll try and get it for you and pm you a link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Well, funny thing that you mentioned that.. I've been eying the GN2 for a while; problem is my MVNO doesn't carry it.

So it's going to be at full cost... and we'll see how long it takes to get that.

Hoping I might be able to do it after the holidays.

Again, if you could please (pretty please!) copy and paste the odin contents when you flash I'd be in your debt.

I learned the hard way that this order really does make a difference, so whatever they're using I want to duplicate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBizzleFoSho:
I'm getting an MD5 hash invalid when I try to restore with your latest update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
One click or update.zip?

I'm unpacking the one click .EXE to verify it was good.

*Edit*

Okay, definitely need to look into this a little more.

Validates in Odin (old and new) but fails in one click package. Odd.

Will update as soon as I have an answer.

Only change to this version versus original release is that it *should* keep Sprint customizations as default.

Which update.zip? OP or one I added later?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jsarge45:
I tried both. I was at work and only thing I can think was I downloaded to phone then moved to sd card then tried to update. B4 I left for work I odin'd back to lj1 then on way to work got ota to ljc where I sit trying to get onto lk8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Odd.. first one is good for certain. How about restoring using the new LJC stock restore in Odin and then trying again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jsarge45:
Ok. That was beyond odd. Transferred file from computer and it updated perfectly.

Someone on lj1 or ljc please try this. ... when using the stock browser for stock or your custom Rom. the scroll bar on the right hand side press that with one finger and go up and down does it zoom/zoom out. It does for me on lk8 but never tried before going to it.

So this file right here we rename it to update.zip then go into recovery and flash/update it bur have to have it in sdcard right?

The modified LK8 update.zip was tested thanks to Hayabusa1300cc and looks like it did the trick!

(To retain CSC information)

I'll be modifying the OP on SXTP Developers with the updated link.

Makes me wonder... could we add root also in these update .ZIPs? Hmm....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sextape:
I recommend you sexify it! Ill test it ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
OK, here goes. LKC to LK8 Update Test #2.

Should keep CSC info on Sprint and hopefully Root during update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerald410:
I have no problem update to LK8, with an older update zip. Whats different with this one? oh I see this one is rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
The original LK8 changed the default CSC to XAS and not Sprint. First test which hayabusa1300cc tested verified that it kept SPR code (meaning Sprint.) Since I'm on a roll figured I'd give adding root a try, just need a guinea pig.... I mean, volunteer!

I hear you, when i use the older update zip I get no chameleon errors:), I would love to be able to flash ljc without errors!:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] l3thalsab3r:
I'm getting 2 error messages at the recovery screen when its verifying the file:

Failed to verify whole-file signature

signature verification failed

Also with this fix would it stop Chameleon from force closing if I were to flash a LJC based rom while on LK8 firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Dang. Looks like adding files broke the digital signature.. but changing one didn't. Hmm.

This one will work but doesn't have root:

http://garwynn.rainmotorsports.net/GN2/LK8/update.zip

...and I'll try again on the root effort.

About Chameleon, what happens if you go back to an LK8 ROM?

If it goes away they might not be interchangeable. Would make sense if so since LJC is 4.1.1 and LK8 is 4.1.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] l3thalsab3r:
Is that the same file as the one that is on SXTP or is it the one with the modified CSC with the sprint fix?

As for Chameleon, if I go back to a LK8 rom then all is fine and Chameleon doesn't force close or anything.

And yeah that does make sense since it is different versions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
This is fix attempt #1 - fixing CSC only.

Haven't updated OP yet on SXTP Developers... will try to today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] l3thalsab3r:
Ok this is weird beceause now I'm getting the same error message with the 1st attempted fix. I'm gonna try and see if I still get it with the original file on SXTP.

Garwynn, last night I downloaded and flashed the LJC tar in the stock restore exe and I still am getting chameleon force closes. Not sure if it was the new version yet? Thanks for your hard work and any tips will be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] l3thalsab3r:
That's the same problem I was having but when I updated to LK8 the chameleon force closes stopped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pwhitersxs:
Can you give me exactly what you did? Cause my brain is melting after trying a million things. Are you rooted? Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] l3thalsab3r:
Yes I am rooted and this is what I did:

1. Go back to stock LJC using either garwynn's method or viperboy (I've done both to try and see if it fixed the chameleon fc and neither did, but both worked for going back to stock LJC) *do note that chameleon will fc while your on LJC but don't worry and just continue to update to LK8*

viperboy's method

garwynn's method

2. Use sextape's update to go to LK8 (start at step 2)

lk8 update

Note: After step 2, I was at LK8 stock without root so you can stop here if you want to stay stock and not have root, but if you want root and a custom recovery follow below.

3. I wasn't able to ODIN TWRP's recovery so I took the long route and used Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root ODIN method to gain root and then downloaded the Goomanager app on the Play Store and installed TWRP through the app.

Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root

And that was pretty much it. I haven't encountered any Chameleon fcs unless I went back to a LJC custom rom which is when it starts to FC again but if I stay on a LK8 rom then all is well. Currently using t3project's ProjectROM and everything is working fine.

Hope this works for you and let me know if you have any questions.

Click an AD means: click an ad on his webpage so it helps to fund the site. Developers rely on advertising revenue to help fund the server/hosting.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrBump471:
I don't post a lot but figured this information may help people in their quest for LK8.

I was on a stock version of LJC, stock recovery but had root. I got this by using Mr. Robinson's root from LJ1 and taking the LJC OTA Update posted by CincyElite22 and flashing through stock recovery while using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to keep root.

This same process worked using Sextape's OTA Leaked LK8 update.

1) Download Sextape's OTA Leak LK8

2) Hit a bunch of ad's on the site

3) Copy LK8 to SDCard

4) Open Voodoo OTA RootKeeper

4a) Hit Temp. un-root (keeps backup) button

4b) Exit Voodoo OTA RootKeeper

5) Power Down phone

6) Enter Stock Recovery (Power, Home, Vol Up)

7) I cleared Cache......don't know if this was necessary or not.

8) Flash from external storage the update.zip (Sextape's OTA Leak LK8)

9) Go back to Sextape's page and hit a few more ad's

10) Phone reboot's and upgrades everything, you don't need to touch anything

11) Open up Voodoo OTA RootKeeper

11a) Hit Restore Root button

12) You should have root on LK8

This worked for me.....I don't touch anything on the stock ROM in terms of removal so this may or may not work for you.

Figured I'd post.

Thanks again Sextape!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Just wondering..

... has anyone checked trying to flash Fix #1 or Fix #2 update.zip in TWRP with signature verification off?

If not is anyone willing to give it a shot?

Basically want to confirm if the signature is the issue here.

Tester should start on stock LKC with TWRP and root optional.

Let's try it from there and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] l3thalsab3r:
I'll try it just give me a few mins to get things backed up first.

I used your one-click stock root restore garwynn.

I wasn't able to get TWRP intalled with ODIN so I needed root to get it from the GooManager app.

Anyways with signature verification off for Fix #2 this is the message I got in TWRP:

assert failed: getprop("ro.secure")=="1"

E:Error in /external_sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Error flasing zip '/external_sdcard/update.zip'
