How to choose the right ROM?

Hi!

I have a Note 2 and I need your advise on how to choose the right ROM for it. Firstly, its baseband version is ALJ1 and build number is ALJ3.

What is the difference between these two numbers? And do we have to choose ROM specifically fit to these numbers.

If yes, please kindly advise which ROM I should choose to root my Note 2.

(I saw a ROM recommended by Heppieboeddah which is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928227, is it suitable with my model)

Much thanks,

Son.

Which note 2 model do you have? N7100??

Flashing a new rom with different baseband is ok, as it will flash the modem over your one

So I can use that Wanam ROM right?

Do you have any recommended one for me?

Hello, i have a questions about OTA.

I recently rooted my phone (n7100) using exynos-abuse and installed spenboard swithcher by copying the .apk in the /system/app folder everying is working fine but now i get an OTA notification, download goes without any problem but install fail (tried 3 times).

I don't think the root itself is the problem since i got an OTA after rooting but before the installation of Spen board switcher without any problem.

The status on the device is still normal so i'm wondering if the installation of the .apk can be the problem or if i miss something.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes I've done it myself but again there was a developer who made flashable zip files of modems. So i just flashed it via CWM recovery.. Wait for a developer made same thing for note 2..

You need to update first, root later.. Because updating process is deleting root.. Unless you are a paid MobileOdin user and flashing new ROM using EverRoot option via MobileOdin.. But I guess you are not using it.. So first update then root.. :D

Where can I download Flash for 4.3?

I had it working just fine before I updated my ROM, but then now I'm on a 4.3 ROM, the APK I was using no longer seems to want to play nice, it causes force closes in BS Player, DICE Player, etc.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuzgryndor:
1. Checked the settings. Not there.

2. Don't know how to take a screenshot. With version 4.3 I was able to swipe my palm across the screen to capture a screenshot. No more with this new 4.4.2 version.

3. What is ART? How do I try it?

4. Sorry, again. I don't quite understand all the jargons. Is there a tw-based ROM for 4.4.2? If yes, where can I download it?

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: I lost my root privilege due to update rom to 4.4.2. Tried framaroot to no avail. How can I root (or gain root privilege) again?

Thanks a bunch.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
1) hmm,, Google screwed 4.4 so bad.

2) look at 1)

3) ART refers to Android Runtime (if I'm not wrong). To activate, go to developer settings,.and there'll be a setting to change from Dalvik to ART.

4) Nope, there isn't. (I realize u want 4.4, not 4.3)

Most important of all: U lost your root privilege on a custom ROM? (Which recovery are u using? My TWRP auto fixes lost root privilege.)

You should use TWRP. Honest. (It gives u root when it detects u lost it. Saved me countless times.) You'll have to use 4.4 root technique. Not too sure about that. Use Android's boss to search that up.

SDS identification

Hello,

Here is the sad story of (possibly) bricked phone:

It's been a year since I'm using the phone, most of the time it had the original 4.1 Resurrection Remix ROM onboard. Everything was fine, but recently some strange things started to happen: FC's in various apps, random reboots. After deciding that this is the time to change the ROM, I've tried for the past two weeks a number of custom ROM's, resulting in mixed expeience and - always - random hang-ups.

Then I discovered the SDS thing and decided to take the phone to the service center, so long as the warranty still holds.

So after reverting to the original CWM backup I tried to unroot the phone and reset the counter. Which seemed to be successful until the second reboot, when I ended with unrooted phone, factory recovery, but with the downloads counter set to 1.

OK, I thought, let's try to flash the original firmware, but meanwhile (what a mistake!) check the SDS thingie using the dummy files generator. Well, I guess the check was positive, because as a result the phone is currently stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Note II..." boot screen and doesn't allow entering anything except the download mode.

Moreover, I cannot flash the original firmware or just the recovery either, because each time I'm trying to flash from ODIN, the process ends with something like:

NAND Write Start!

...

Fail!

So, my question is: is it the end? Does the SDS looks like that and my only choice is to try and replace the eMMC chip?

Based on what I've seen, the SDS situation usually identified by absent device model name in download mode. This does not happen in my case, as I still see "N7100" there.

Thanks in advance!

Phone + IMEI + Baseband Unknown. How to recover.

I was looking through some threads, came across a particular ROM, found it very interesting..went ahead & flashed it...didnt work.

Reason: My Peanut brain failed to check the version of the Note2 it was meant for. My bad.

I didnt backup EFS. (my bad again, actualy i didnt knew I had to )

It override my existing Modem & took my Baseband & IMEI to unknown.

I look through whole night trying to undo what I did on XDA forum...did get quite some helpful links but nothing could solve mine.

The most common advise on the forum was to take it to the Samsung service centres & let them put the stock official firmware.

Well, I took it to the service this morning, they put the stock 4.1.2 version..i was hoping that would solve my query.

To my dismay, the service guy told me that the Phone was showing as Unknown (screen shot 1) & that in that case the IMEI cannot be resolved.

One option he gave me was to pay up 8k (about 134 USD) to change the motherboard but honestly i dont have that much

Please advise....Is there any way i can resolve this.

Every thread I look, there's only post on IMEI + baseband unknown, but nothing on Phone:Unknown...like the one in picture.

was wondering if its all the same.
