[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkippyFlipjack:
I had the same question as the OP. Did a little research, and with Windows you just plug your device in; on MacOS you need to install an app on your computer. It's not quite as convenient as having it appear as a connected device in MacOS Finder -- can't preview the images in place, for example -- but it's OK.

(I can't post outside links yet as a new user; google "stackexchange nexus 4 usb storage connect", it's the first result)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkMenace:
I tried to install this > [ROM][VRBLK3][4.1.1][RLS10] GalaxyMod ¯`•._ The New Transmission - xda-developers but when it finished it said I had unauthorized software on my phone so I figured I'd do a stock restore back to 4.0.4. When I did this and rooted the phone after it did the 2 software updates to IMM76D.I535VRALHE I installed root and Rom Manager. However this time I get no choices in Rom Manager. It only shows my Galaxy S3 phone and shows unsupported. I've done this restore and recover numinous times before with no issues now Rom Manager is acting up and will not let me select any phone. The list just shows 1 phone which is mine that's unsupported. How can I Fix this? I need to restore my backup rom I created with CWM. Urgent Help is requested. Thanks!

About The ROM

Revision is based on I605VRALJB. Also, it's been specifically designed to be the most stable image to fall back on before or after flashing kernels, recoveries or ROMs. It will put your device into the MOST working condition possible currently. The only more possibly stable image would be the one your device came with and we don't have that.

What is Revision?

Revision is a stepping stone. It puts your device into a relatively stock, and known working condition.

Tweaks

I added the following tweaks to the ROM for usability and hackability.

Carrier Unlocked for AT&T network.

Rooted with ERD Chainfire's SuperSU

Bash

Busybox

i2cdetect, i2cdump, i2cget, i2cset

ipctool

strace

tcmpdump

viewmem

PARAMS: UART Logging Increased

PARAMS: UART Root Prompt at battery charging

PARAMS: UART Shell terminal during normal operations

The PARAMS will be available in a future CASUAL application for testing.

Download Revision3 ROM repacked

Troubleshooting

Windows users: First uninstall PDANET drivers, then install Samsung Kies.

Here's some notes I wanted to record:

Uncompressing a Samsung System image

./ext4_utils/simg2img ./originalsystem.img ./working.img

Compressing a Samsung Image

sync; sudo ./ext4_utils/make_ext4fs -s -l 1792M -a ./temp ./system.img /path/to/mounted image

Create a tar.md5.gz file from a set of images..

tar -H ustar -c boot.img hidden.img modem.bin param.bin recovery.img system.img tz.img sboot.bin>./Revision1.tar;sync md5sum Revision1.tar >> Revision1.tar; mv Revision1.tar Revision1.tar.md5; sync; gzip Revision1.tar.md5 -c -v >Revision1.tar.md5.gz;

the tools are available on the internet.

Revision1: initial release

Revision2: Fixed Baseband issue. The PARAMS were to blame for this. Removed features to add functionality.

Revision3: Carrier Unlock for AT&T.. needs more work to get rid of Verizon warning. Thanks Joder for the APN info.

Revision3 repacked: apparently there was an issue with the uploaded Revision3. Repacked is a properly repackaged version of Revision3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
thx

Great Work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
Nice, can't wait for the bootloader unlock tool to be released! :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechBSwift:
Thanks Adam for all your hard work. You and Beans are the first devs I ever donated to, and you wont be the last. I really appreciate the all the hard work devs put into this.

So what's the next step? Does this help you understand the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
So just flash this via Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
Thanks very Much

I really appreciate all you have done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
Pshh that's too advanced! I'll probably have to leave a .txt file on the desktop reminding me what the code was!

Sent from my rooted galaxy note 2... U mad?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
i flashed in odin and now i have no service nor 4g it is simply stuck at the activation screen in setup wizard......any ideas. thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
oh well aint it grand
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drumdestroyer:
Flash back to what u were on before. Seems like a common problem. Beans had that prob with his rom. Before he released it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drumdestroyer:
That's me! Lol. I have to write it on my hand next to my grocery list.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
Yeah mine isnt doing anything. Tried to Odin back and still nothing. Just sits at activation screen. Anybody have any ideas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
Can you check Settings>About>And status to see if you have an IMEI or any info?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
Nope. Won't let me leave activation screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgolden84:
Has any one tried the bypass activation like we did on the s3?

on select a language screen, press lower left corner, lower right corner, lower left corner, lower right then volume up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
Mine finally just stopped tryn to activate and gave me a number to call and i have wifi,, but the answer to question on imei is there is no imei number, no baseband, all says unknown
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kwhodson:
Interesting???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thedanks:
Beans got that same error message as me in Casual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pschatz12:
It doesn't seem rooted Adam... I go into superuser and it says no binaries and that it's a problem

Instead of revision 3 can we use beans for the time being?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thedanks:
the first thought that came to my head was wipe data / cache, odin revision 1, then odin revision 3 without wiping data / cache but i am hesitant until we get instruction. (i happen to have revision 1 on my computer)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
What he said. Per Casual - No root. No busybox. View attachment 1557756

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
Long before this device dies others will likely have proper networks setup in areas that only really have Verizon for a choice right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pschatz12:
Beans,

Can we use your rom since it has ?

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
That has the incorrect PRAMS for signal. The package needs to be rebuilt for Revision4.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thedanks:
you the man now, dawg!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wbvczar:
There are comments in the "Bootloader" thread that along with no root, Revision 3 does not have the Samsung keyboard. Will the updated Revision 3 have the keyboard? I know Adam is repackaging with root, at least.

Thanks, Adam and other Devs, for you tireless hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgolden84:
we shall see. every one needs to chill out this man is helping open our phone and yall are worried about a keyboard. install it and move on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thejondude:
Who cares what keyboard the rom has... once you have an unlocked bootloader and cwr or twrp you can load whatever you want in 5 days there are gona be lots of roms for the phone i bet even tonight beans will have a build 2 that u can flash in cwr..............................

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
Phone bootloader update is grayed out on Odin. What am I supposed to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgolden84:
Let me start by saying I'm not being mean. But you need to read the op like five more times. It's not necessary for the box to be checked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
Call me blind but I don't see that written anywhere in the op. But thanks anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgolden84:
If you go into the bootloader unlock thread you will see it mentioned a few times. But i did get it to ungrey and checked it by simply opening a file in the bootloader tab and then clicking reset like Adam said to do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
Oh I see. I didn't even know there was a separate thread. My bad. I just saw the link in a different post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
LOL, You are definitely living up to your sig with that post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgolden84:
Yea im still getting used to the keyboard on this thing and chasing around a eighteen month old so it gets pretty ugly sometimes and at 28 almost 29 my eyes are not what they once were
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDroidLurker:
trying to download but I think the original as well as the mirror is getting curb stomped by all the traffic.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
it was like 7 minutes for me tethering from phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
Curb stomp is an understatement... You guys wrecked it. Working with the host to restore connectivity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDroidLurker:
I was going to go with "gang b***ed" but didn't wan't to offend anybody..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mbargerhuff:
So freaking happy for this, worked prefectly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hredder:
Worked perfectly adam. Gonna throw you a twenty when I get a chance. Already gave beans a 20. Just have to wait till the money comes in :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Currentweb:
Yay! Third time was the charm lol. If anyone has the 'bootloader is improper' error in CASUAL, ripping the bootloader from the full odin and flashing it solves the problem. If you don't know what that means or how to do it, go and use the 'return to stock' thread and just start from scratch. Worked like a charm, thanks Adam and team :)

Now Beans my man... get cracking :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Breezer23:
Call me stupid but is there any point to that command prompt stuff at the bottom of the OP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hredder:
There is but not needed to unlock your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Balsta:
So how would one go about reversing this process if they had to exchange the device ever?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hredder:
There will be a way to lock your bootloader eventually. Then just flash stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Balsta:
Yeah I was just wondering because I'm going to take my phone in to Verizon to try and exchange it but wanted to try out the unlock.

Its got horizontal lines on the screen that's really annoying. Kinda like the burn in problem on the GNex but it was like this when I got it. Anyone else seen this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Breezer23:
I'd probably go swap it before hand and try it on your new one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Balsta:
Alright that's what I was thinking. But I didn't know if everyone's screen was like this?

Cannot download file

I am unable to download from either location. It starts the download, but never downloads anything. Is there another mirror available?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
Are you downloading on the phone? If so, I've noticed that for some reason the GN2 does not always show the ongoing notification on the pull-down even though it is actually downloading the file. It will show the toast prompt for "Starting Download..." but never adds it to the status bar or notifications. If you open a file manager and go to your /download folder on internal storage you can see if it's actually downloading by refreshing and checking to see the file size and time are changing.

If you are not downloading to the phone, disregard my ramblings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wmaudio:
I appreciate the response. I'm trying to download on the PC. I am able to download other files, so I don't believe it's my machine. I'm on a corporate network so I know it's not my connection. I click the link, I get the download page, I click download, I get prompted for a location to save, and then it sits there at 0.0KB for both links.

I know that Revision3 has to be flashed via ODIN first, but will is also reset the apps & settings on the phone, or will those stay intact?

Thanks.

What happened to the update Casual download. Its gone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
You guys having problems.. are you running PDANET drivers? Try removing them and installing Samsung Kies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
it will wipe data...so back your stuff up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
What? It doesn't wipe data. It wipes your downloaded apps. but the device still has settings for all default apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chefdave12118:
Adam great YouTube video but ya kinda dissapointed me. I was expecting a halo over your head or angel wings or an S on your chest. I saw nothing none of that! You're only a human? SMH! :mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
It definitely wiped mine when I used it to do the unlock process. Wiped internal sdcard too. May have been a glitch on my end, but that's what happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
I am getting a corrupt message with the Revision3 file. Wont flash in Odin, wont unzip. What am I doing wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bern612:
It wiped mine also. Thought I just did something wrong lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Wipe must have something to do with the Verizon activation procedure. I have to manually wipe when I flash.

are these people with errors doing something wrong?

You guys having problems... Do you have those "Samsung Drivers" installed or are you using Samsung kies? You're supposed to uninstall the other drivers and install kies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
That could have been the problem, I suppose. I used the drivers from the original "root" post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207.

Edit: Just re-read that. Guess you weren't talking about the drivers being a problem for the wiping, but more for the people having install issues. Thing is, when I used the first "Revision" file that didn't have root, it did not wipe, but the second go 'round it not only wiped it all, when it rebooted into recovery to do it, there was no way of stopping it, almost like it was automated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] equinox654:
Me too. Ive downloaded the file 3 times and still have the issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
So when I root & unlock, will I be able to install multi Window mods, extra grid space Mods and delete all Verizon bloatware w/o any issues? Has anyone tried that with revision 3? I just want the good old stock with a few little added functionalities and slight modification minus the bloat that I never use. Just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
If revision 3 is an odexed ROM then yes...deodexed no

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

I would thoroughly recommend beans ROM though. It's a faster ROM it's lighter and it's not that bad it's not over the top looking..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

Any noticeable bugs here and there? I just want every feature to work, stable and it to function just like stock. The speed and ui tweeks are great but aren't deal breakers for me. I'm 95% satisfied with stock. The remaining 5 would be lack of apps in multi Window and grid size.

Does deodexing a rom break anything? I asked because all roms on my previous Android devices I rooted always had something broken. There have always been extensive bug reports on the corresponding forums. Even on the highly favored beans rom people are reporting there are bug reports. Not any major ones and none that the developers can't fix but I guess that comes with the territory when rooted. It's like having a beautiful fat wife. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Zero that I've found. S-pen functions as it should. I lived stock touch wiz and really didn't wanna go crazy and was a little reluctant about flashing this. However I'm glad I did. When you flash there are options to kee it fairly stockish. Just make a nand before you flash and if you don't like it restore ... Easy stuff. Recovery is an amazing tool.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Also that's the nature of the beast. But I don't think anything is broken on this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] awtenterprise:
Adam,

When I first tried to unlock I was having all sorts of issues. I have used pda net for a year or two with no problems. During I one of my unlock attempts I disabled pda net and BAM phone unlocked with no issues. It almost seemed like when pda net was loading it was stoping your program from accessing the phone.
