Either upgrade to CM11 which is better and stable too, though CM10 also is super stable. Or wipe and clean flash your ROM and set it up again.

Don't forget to take a backup beforehand.

Thank you very much!

One last question, do I need to upgrade my android version to 4.4 to upgrade CM11? Or does CM do that himself?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KNIGHT97:
CM11 is itself based on android 4.4 so wipe everything including internal memory and then flash the latest nightly. You can update daily using cyandelta updates in CM11.

logo on screen

hi all I have a note purchased recently and it is completely stock, recently I noticed on the left side top of the screen I am seeing "try other miniclip games" something like watermark. I tried factory reset and cleared cache but it is going away can any one help about it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrisfrom1986:
First of all I have searched for hours on end trying to figure out how to get my Note 2 working again. it is an unmodified Sprint Note 2 running 4.4.2. I have never rooted the device or attempted any kind of modification. Apparently the device was attempting a system update and it shut off. It turned itself back on and from there it lost signal and was unable to make calls. Sprint was not helpful at all when I took it to the repair center. They basically told me to go through insurance which for $150 is not worth it for a refurbished Note 2.

I discovered that the phone lost its IMEI, baseband, PRL and all other related nv information. I have tried numerous times to read the phone with NV items reader writer and EFS professional however neither program worked since the phone is not rooted. I really need to get this phone working asap as I have lost many work opportunities due to not being able to receive calls.

I have absolutely no interest in flashing custom roms, modems/radios. I want to keep the phone as close to stock as possible. I dont mind rooting the phone if that will help me restore the IMEI data. Every thread I have read related to losing the IMEI have been related to flashing custom roms and other modifications which is not the case here. I have not tried to use odin yet to restore the phone if possible that way and dont know where I can find official 4.4.2 stock rom. I have tried to use the skipsoft unified toolkit but it seems it does not support the 4.4.2 firmware yet so there is no way for me to install a clean stock rom with that.

If there is anyway for me to recover/replace/restore my IMEI information without flashing a stock rom that is the route I would like to go.

Would rooting the phone and using nv items reader writer tool to edit the IMEI be all that is necessary to work?

DN3 v5+ & Stweaks

Hello everyone.

I already have a ROM DN3 v5+ (Ditto Note 3) with original kernel. I'm searching for a kernel which supports Stweaks to take advantage of wolfson DAC and get higher level of the output signal (like Voodoo Sound).

Are there any 4.4.2 kernels which support this feature?

I'm asking because the ROM/kernel list topic have not been updated since months. I found [Kernel] Devil2-2.3.2 [4.3/4.4] - Linaro 4.8.3 - Dualboot - 02/01 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239453, but i'm not sure if it will work with my current ROM.

Dear Ify2gen2, thank you for your reply. In fact I didn't manage to find this kernel.

It turned out that I can use AlsaMixer from Play Store instead of changing the whole kernel. It only requires root. There you can find the option to increase your headphones volume level. It works well, but I don't know how high I can go. The range is 0-63, default set: 50. Just tried 58 and it worked, DAC not damaged :silly: Not so brave to set 63 :laugh:.

When somebody writes something about AlsaMixer there is always a clause: "Use it with caution":p

I have already the right bootloader MJ5....no wanna pass in Kit Kat bootloader... cos still in warranty.

About the normal back up I wanna use Helium....wanna try it but I have the sensation is better reinstall all the app i need.....is a right sensation?

I already have a EFS Backup from 4.1.2.....need to do a new one with Terminal Emulator of 4.3?.....or I let the Rom V8.1 do it...cos inside Aroma this is the function?

Before I wanna Install the phoenix.....but after many.... many week i follow the thread of Dr.Ketan...well....I would like to try.

First Post - Total Noob - Stuck at Samsung boot screen

So, flashed the following rom (N7100XXUFNC2®™ AirCommand ultimate) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2707431

Followed instructions to the letter

Installed fine (using TWRP file explorer I can see the files etc)

On first boot after flashing it has got stuck on the 'Samsung' boot screen.

I'm certain the ROM was installed because the Samsung boot screen is different to the stock and as mentioned I can see the files using f/explorer......

I'm on 4.4.2 Android, rooted etc.

Any advice/help would naturally be very well received :)

Cheers all

p.s I have tried factory wipe from recovery, but still have the same issue
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ify2gen2:
instructions:

>>> download a custom recovery (philz or twrp) and install to your phone ( twrp recommended )

>>> download rom and paste to SdCard or extSdCard

>>> reboot to recovery

>>> select install zip from SdCard or extSdCard and choose file you have copied

>>> after install successfully reboot to system

U need to make a clean wipe before flashing this rom. From the instructions above there is nothing like making a clean wipe 4 flashing.

So go into recovery>> wipe>> advance wipe>> and wipe except for internal storage, external n usb otg then proceed in flashing rom.

Looking at the thread, the last guy to post (in may) had the same issue and got no response.....so i gave up under the assumption there's an issue with the ROM......

So I'm broke and wanting to sell my Galaxy Note 2 (Verizon), and notice that selling it unlocked tends to make it worth a bit more. How do I know for certain if my phone is unlocked? I'm using it on a different network than Verizon, which is a good sign....but I remember when I first got this from a guy he had to give me the following information to put in:

Cellular One ISP

ISP.cellular1.net

MCC 311

CellularOneMMS

MMS.celular1.net

And a bit more, but you get the idea. Is my phone still technically unlocked, even though I had to put in this mumbo jumbo for it to work? He'd already had a customer ROM installed, and I assumed that information wouldn't work unless it was unlocked....but Ebay claims against me scare me.

Firstly, once that you enter knox, you cant downgrade.

Next use the Info App from playstore by Nag and find out the bootloader version that you have currently installed. I believe it will already be newer than MJ5.

If you are having a custom recovery(check by holding volume up+home while booting up the phone, it should be either grey or pink background, if not then it is stock and you can flash any recovery you want and then follow the next step), go to chainfire's website and download latest superSU zip(2.02 as of now) and place it anywhere you can remember, and then boot to recovery and just go to install zip and select that zip and tap yes and then reboot.

It is with all AOSP Roms. This is because the power off charging animation is Samsung proprietary and would make their zips unnecessarily large.
