Biggest thing is the new kernel with disabled sensor hub. Check changelog in post 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Okay so I download the .img.tar file to flash with Odin right? N check PDA, select the img.tar to flash it right? Sorry I completely forgot how to flash with Odin even tho I unlocked a couple weeks ago lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
Good question. It's what it says on the TWRP website. But I'm confused, because Adam Outler has written several time to not use ODIN again, after bootloader is unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
If someone can point me to a reason not to use odin, I will remove the option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wickedares:
i just flashed the .zip in recovery but you can flash a recovery with odin. the reason adam said that is the way this phone is unlocked, you can pretty much flash what ever you want on this phone and could royally fubar it if you flash something wrong. i would just recommend flashing the .zip within your recovery you have now and reboot.

i did odin the cwm recovery when i managed to get back to android stock recovery by accident from trying to flash the wrong twrp.zip so i know it is possible and it didnt effect my phone in any negative way. i think adam basically said that to just cover all the possible problems it could cause
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yeah, people will brick anyways. Can't help everyone unfortunately. It's easier to tell someone not to do something that way they won't complain to you when they break their phone.

:eek:

Just an aside I bricked my GN7000 by myself, with buggy software from Samsung, but I didn't have to flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
Thanks. Makes sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
The only reason I'm asking about Odin is because I have CWM installed and whenever I try to flash the zip, it says its successful but when I boot back into recovery, CWM is still there as if the flash isn't sticking
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I don't know why this happens on the verizon note2 for some people. Are you unlocked by chance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Yea im unlocked. I flashed the TWRP file at least 5 times n none of them stuck. It says flashed successfully but it won't stick. I guess I'll just stick with CWM :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You can try odin or manually flashing the .img as stated in the instructions at the teamwin site.

Is it possible you can get /tmp/recovery.log from CWM after flashing TWRP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enkrypt3d:
the only thing this thing is missing is the ability to mount storage from the phone onto the pc so you can copy roms to the phone from within recovery.... then I'd like it a lot more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] egates:
I'm unable to mount /data in twrp 2.3.3.1 (and didn't use twrp before so don't know about previous versions). My phone is encrypted, but twrp never pops up the keyboard and prompts for a password. Thoughts? If I need to supply more data let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
We currently don't support samsung encryption because they changed the method of encryption outside of AOSP. We may have found a lead though from someone and we are actively exploring to see if we can support encryption on Samsung OEM roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zim2323:
Wait...wuh?? I thought this was a Recovery. What new Kernel are we talking about here? I'm confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Brief explanation of recovery:

Recovery is it's own fully contained operating system (kernel and user run binaries). When you reboot to recovery you in effect boot an entirely separate kernel from Android, and user processes to support recovery, adbd, recovery binary etc.

The kernel is stored at the beginning of the recovery partition and the ramdisk containing the operating system directories are stored after. The kernel is in gzip format and the recovery directories and utilities are stored in a compressed format as well.

I would suggest if you would like to read more, is to Google android recovery to read lots of good guides on how it works in more detail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronaldheld:
I just finished the procedure for unlocking. I want to do a backup before flashing a ROM; will the default parameters save a backup that when restored return me to my current state?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I updated post 3 with the answer to your question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bophead:
Great Program

Thanks for making flashing so much easier
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] muzhik:
updated thru Odin after unlocking, thank you OP

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

this version doesn't seem to support exFat filesystem, any ideas on how to get it working? thx,

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

i guess i'll be on 2.3.2.3 until new twrp comes out, need that exFat support :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
I went back to the last version until we get exfat support. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Can someone go to advanced->terminal emulator and type lsmod

Let me know if exfat modules are loading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
How do you go back? I only find links to the latest version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I need help from you guys to fix it. Please see if the exfat modules are loaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
If I go to advanced-terminal command-select and type Ismod, it says "not found"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
lsmod with a lowercase L
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
I am still using 2.3.3.1 and I was unable to screen shots but it returns several exfat messages
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
Oops, sorry. lsmod only shows blank files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
I keep the zip files. .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I never delete old releases from goo and techerrata. You can still download them. You guys are flashing the t0ltevzw image right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
Yup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Are you flashing the zip or from goo manager?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
Zips
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] muzhik:
I just Odin Adams bootloader and it works fine until you get new version fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
Ok. So I found the .img files. How do I convert them to zip? Just zip them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
They should be the same as the zip file. I will look into this stuff more when I get home today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Doing lsmod from within the OS doesn't really give the information he needs.

Here is what .1 looks like:

lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
exfat_fs 17079 1
exfat_core 59631 1 exfat_fs

Here is what .2 looks like:

lsmod

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Exfat should be working again. Uploaded the same version. Let me know if there are any issues.

TWRP 2.3.3.2 Recovery

If you are using the viper rom 2.4.1, have you experience any problems getting into the recovery mod? Basically, is it bug free after all the issues reported? Just asking....:cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
TWRP doesn't depend on the rom to work or not so you should be fine. Let me know if you encounter any issues inside twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] muzhik:
works great, thanks bigbiff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
What advantages are there tto updating this from the version we got at unlock?...unlock the day it came out that is. I have yet to see a problem with the one I have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Well for one, asserts are broken with it. Which means you cannot flash anything with the correct asserts. This was fixed in later versions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I don't know because I didn't build the one in the unlocker. You can see the changelog in Post #2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
Why won't twrp flash aosp for the note 2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
What does /tmp/recovery.log say?

Advanced->Copy log to SDCard and paste contents please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Looks like you flashed twrp for t0lteatt and not t0ltevzw. Pleasefflash the latest from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltevzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snake5:
I assume that by unselecting data as a backup option this will be bypassed? There's a fair amount of complaining about not being able to mount /data even when it's not being backed up (before backup starts and after it completes). Also, what is the impact, just apps and their respective data, correct? Or solely app data? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Probably could add some more if's to check if /data should be mounted if it's unselected in the backup dialogue.

I will be trying to put a 2.4.0 alpha upload soon for all Note2's with encryption support for testing.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.3.3.2 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/10

So with the proper version I should have no trouble flashing any proper Rom, aosp or Samsung based?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You shouldn't unless the assert in the rom doesn't match t0ltevzw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.3.3.2 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/10

I'm attempting to operate the twrp from the original version that came with Adam Outlers bootloader unlock instructions.

On the download page should I be downloading the vzw zip file and flashing in recovery and be omitting the tar.img file?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
The tar file is for flashing TWRP with Odin. The zip file can be flashed through your original version of TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.3.3.2 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/10

Got it.

Actually flashed it through goomanager
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wickedares:
just curious if twrp causes 4.2 roms to place the path as /storage/emulated/0 cause i have heard of people getting just /storage/0 so i didnt know if this was a twrp thing or what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
TWRP doesn't move the files, android 4.2 does. We just detect the folder and if it exists, look there for files while in TWRP.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.4.0.0 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/29

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but on my old phone (Droid Bionic) there was the ability to quick switch between ROMs within TWRP. Which was great to have 4 quick ROM slots.

Is that feature a possibility on the Note 2?

Though just having TWRP is awesome as it is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
That requires someone setting up a dual boot system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
New with TWRP here. Saw the option to backup to the ext SD card on my Note 2, but unfortunately it wouldn't let me choose it. Is this something I've done wrong? Or is that setting not available to me at the moment.

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
I didn't do anything to mount it. As I said, I'm new here. Been using CWM but I've heard great things about TWRP and would like to start using it. Should I mount the card first before I backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Can you go to advanced then copy log to sdcard then grab /sdcard/recovery.log in Android and paste into paste.tinyw.in and paste the link here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] billku:
If our external sd card is not formatted to exFAT, is it still okay to update to the newest version? Pretty sure it is and that this new version just supports that format and isn't exclusive to it, but just double-checking, thanks...

You should upgrade as it has better vfat detection.

I'll go through all of it and paste the log layer today for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Acery:
I flashed the new version with the ZIP through the existing twrp. The only hiccup I see is if I select reboot from within TWRP and then select Power Off I will reboot into TWRP after powering back up instead of into my ROM.

The only way I can boot back into my ROM is if I select "System" in the Reboot menu within TWRP.

Is this normal or do I have some strange boot loop with the Power Off option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I am looking into the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhp117:
Just wondering if anyone can add ' slots ' functionality to twrp?

Before I got the vzw note 2 I have a droid bionic for over a year.

Even though it have a locked bootloader but the devs did some amazing work in creating roms and recovery.

I was using a recovery called safestrap that have twrp integrated to it and it have slots function.

Basically what the slot function do is let you create up to 4 slots so you can flash any roms you like into any slots and still have the stock rom.

The cool thing is you can switch between slots/roms within secs without having to flash your previous backup to restore which ever rom you want to use.

That makes it so much easier for you to try/test a rom you like.

For example

When I was using the bionic with safestrap I created 2 slots. 1 slot I have a jellybean rom . Another slot I have a ics rom. Also I still have the stock ota ics blur

I'll be testing the jellybean rom but its not dd for me so I switch back to the ics rom as dd whenever I goto to work. Switching between the 2 roms just tskes seconds

I dont have to full wipe then reflash/restore anything so its more convenient.

Sorry for the long post but hope someone can figure out how to add that function to twrp so we can have multiple roms available to switch with instead of doing backups and restore all the time

Thanks for reading my blabbing

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.4.1.0 TeamWin Recovery Project 2/1

Someone in the Dev forum has been working on a multi boot version of TWRP. It seems to be non trivial to make work. I asked about it earlier too as I can from a bionic.

Hopefully they can make it work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zodduska:
No problem. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with ADB and for some reason my home PC (windows 8) sees multiple android devices when I connect my phone, I was unable to use Casual or Odin because of this.. had to do the unlock on my work pc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Created https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/101 for your issue. I will be testing the fix soon to see if it works.

I replicated this way:

1. Backup Boot/System/Data

2. Factory Reset

3. Install Cleanrom 4.5

The way I am trying to solve this is to have linux drop file cache after creation of the tar files to give memory back to the mmap call in minzip.

Hi guys. I was trying to update my Tab10.1, and almost at the end the flashing process has failed. I am trying to post a splash about the error message but the forum does not allow it to me

Now the tablet does not boot up any more, is not even being recognized by the PC when i plug it in.

I put a testet in the battery, and when i press the power button, the charge starts going down very fast, which means it is not wroken at all.

Any one has a clue what to do to bring back to life??

thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jamesclinton:
First of all are you talking abt tab 2 or note N8000 ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] pepelacua:
I am talking about GalaxyTab2 10.1, but the model for it is N8000

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jamesclinton:
Correct me if am wrong, N8000 is Galaxy note 10.1 not Galaxy tab2 10.1.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8000-4573.php This one ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] waltminalabama:
From looking over the Samsung galaxy note forum here, some one else is having battery problems. Depending on where and when you got it, you might be able to return it. Otherwise, only suggestion is to pop off the back, remove the battery and plug it back in.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] pepelacua:
I alredy tried that. Even with another battery fully charged in another tablet.

Any other suggestions??

thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] daniel644:
Well as has been said before the N8000 is the NOTE 10.1, the TAB 2 10.1 models are p5100 p5110 and p5113. If you flashed something for one of those on your N8000 then you have most likely HARD bricked it.

You could try the Unbrickable Resurrector or possible a USB Jig if there is one that works with your tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] scottx .:
I think you flashed the wrong rom to your device and you've hard bricked it.

It's now a paper weight. Find papers. Please read next time!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] daniel644:
the only 800 or 8000 that has a tab name attached to it is the Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 for Verizon, even if that is the one you have you flashed a ROM for the WRONG device as that would be a TAB, NOT a TAB 2.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] pepelacua:
This is a proto device guys. I know what i am doing, is not a wrong firmware the one i am trying to install.

The problem was when odin tried to write the nand.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/n8000.jpg/

I tried disconnecting battery, and placing it back on. There's no much else to try. The battery charges if you plug it with itys charger. I measured that with a tester, but the PC is not recognizing it anymore.

A been trying to find a jig for tablets, but as far as i know, there's still no solution for that.

I already got another sample from the OEM, but i would like to keep this one for my own, they never ask for crap back:D:D:D

thanks
