Enter into recovery by pressing Volume up+Power+Home key.

Goto Wipe user data and select

Installed CM10.1 RC, but less memory

I have the 16GB model, however only 10GB is available, now I know some is reserved for the OS, but 6GB is a lot for Cyanogenmod or is that normal? How do I go about freeing up the full amount of space, and keep my current ROM.

I have created ROM manager and Titanium backups.

My Note II Got wet!

Hello, could you please help me with this issue. Somehow my phone was left on a table that had water on it, it was quite soaked by the time i got to it. I took off the silicon cover and the whole back of my phone was wet. My speakers were being weird, message tones sounded all robotic. So i turned it off, cleaned it dried up the phone with a towel, then turned it back on, the speakers were still not working properly so i turned back off again, dried the speaker with a hair dryer for 5 to 10 seconds. Then i tried turning it back on but now it only shows "Samsung Galaxy Not II GTN-7000" on the screen again and again, it flashes the same thing every 5 or 6 seconds but never goes beyond that. I checked the water indicator which is inside the battery pocket, it's white with purple crosses.

Please tell me what to do.

Bloated?

Hi, although I have been using android phones since 2009 (HTC Galaxy and SE Experia X10 Mini Pro) I am a noob when it comes to the tech side of things, so please accept my apologies in advance if my question(s) is stupid. I did do a search but couldn't come up with a solution.

I bought a Galaxy Note2 GT N7100 about 4 months ago and decided to root the phone recently. I did some research and rooted the phone using Odin about a week ago and everything went smoothly. I didn't flash any Roms but installed Rom Manager and Titanium Back Up (free version).

The problem is a couple of days ago I got a message saying ":your device is low on Storage Space, some programs will not function correctly".

I deleted some unneccessary apps and the phone is ok.

When I checked the storage (Settings ---> Storage) I noticed a whopping 4.49GB used by miscellaneous files. When I checked Miscellaneous files it showed 3.16 GB used by ClockworksMod and for me that seems like a whole lot. But when I checked for backups in Rom Manager it says no backups found. I have added the relevant screen shots. Is all this storage space taken up by bloatware? If so how do I reclaim the space? Thank you in advance.

Second question; I bought a Sandisk 32GB micro SD HC card (cover says for mobiles) but the phone doesn't seem to recognize it. It works on the laptop. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Finding the right stock ROM

Hi guys! New here. I've been reading a lot of threads and replies, in short I'm pretty much interested in joining the forum.

Anyways, straight to the point.

Problem:

I've been searching for the right stock rom to download but my Pcode "SIN" does not follow with my Device Model which is "N7105XXDLL4."

I'm on a custom ROM by the way. JEDI X17.

here are the codes I find when I do the *#1234#

"N7105XXDLL4 N7105DCDLL1 N71050LBDMD1"

Question:

can I download any kind of firmware and install on my phone? because I reside in the Philippines, and since we have our own firmware Pcode "GLB" and Device Model "N7105XXDMC3", would that mess up my phone in anyway. Thanks a bunch!

P.S.

I just wanna ask if what's the best stable custom rom you guys can recommend. thanks :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omg090:
Help please :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idealisti:
I do not know for sure, so do not rely on my reply :) Anyway, I understand that custom ROMs are often made out by the stock ROM the developer himself is using, thus the reason for the different code. If you want to flash your stock ROM back to your phone, I would recommend flashing the one that is labeled under Philippines, not the one your phone says it is using.

Correct me if I am wrong with my answer, but I believe this is the case.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
If you want to stock firmware just flash it via Odin and make sure that your language code is supported. Learn about letter codes.

For custom rom there's not a "good answer". Check all the custom roms available but first you need to make a choice between stock or aosp based roms.

Can't write on internal memory = no new roms.

Hi, I've got myself into a bit of a situation with my Note 2.

I recently rooted and flashed CM10.1 RC, that was fine. However battery life was quite poor, so I decided to try out some other ROMs to see if they were any better.

I backed up using ROM Manager and flashed 'Jellybeans' ROM, as it was highly recommended on here. However I couldn't get network comms with that ROM, I assume it's just for Verizon/US Note 2's, which I didn't realise.

I would like to flash back to CM10.1, or ideally stock. However I can't transfer a ROM .zip to the phone, it claims there is insufficient memory/unavailable. There is nothing on the phone except Jellybeans ROM and whatever apps are packed with that.

I've tried restoring to factory settings, wiping cache/dalvik and formatting internal memory but with no change.

When connected to my PC as mass storage, it can't write to the device.

I have heard 'Megawipe' can format the phone entirely, however I can't even get the .zip for that onto the internal storage due to the memory problem.

So any suggestions to fix my memory/storage problem, so that I can transfer a ROM? Thanks.

EDIT: Managed to flash back to Stock using Odin, didn't know I was able to flash via PDA option. Disregard most of my post. Still only 10gb available, but I guess that's normal.

Bro i have a question,i unrooted my device but forget to reset binary counter.

When i go to download mode it shows that i downloaded 1 custom binary.BUT it says my current binary is samsung offical and system statues official (and it is,i download the offical firmware).

Everything is just as stock note 2 besides the binary counter and in settings it says my device is modified.

Will i have any problems downloading official updates,or any other problems besides warranty?

And is there any way to get device status to normal without rooting and unrooting?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
To reset the counter there's no solution without root AFAIK.

If the counter isn't at 0 it voids the warranty and for FOTA I don't know. The system may checks if the status is marked as official only so it can possible.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itseden123:
Ok,so if i root and reset the counter.Then unroot will it go back to normal?or i need to wipe data ?

And i can updated through KIES right?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBariya:
After unroot, system status should go back to official. But it's modified, then wipe data and catche will make it to official.

You can flash stock rom again for confirming unrooting.

I tried a couple of times.....also flashed offical firmware and tried again,didn't work.

Should i wipe data and cache then root and unroot?

EDIT:i wiped data and cache my status is normal now but binary counter still same as it was.

Now i have no problem with updating right?i dont care about the warranty.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBariya:
You can use pre rooted srock roms if you having problem in rooting.

But if status is official, then no problem with updates.

Edit: sorry, binary counter must be "no". If it is "1" then you can't get OTA or from kies.

BOTH REQUIRES TO GET OFFICIAL UPDATES.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrippySquidsman:
As far as I know (and I'm totally prepared to be declared incorrect :P) the binary counter is used in both warranty

checks and official rom flashing- you can check for updates with Kies, but if you were to attempt to flash the

downloaded package, I think it would fail.

If you're running a rooted rom, you can use TriangleAway to reset the binary counter. Works a treat for me!

I just realized something,i dont need KIES or OTA to update my device,i can just download the firmware from samsung updates and flash it via odin...

2. I gotta say stick with tried and true titanium. Free and paid version available. If you flash a lot then paid is worth the few bucks

Guys I just received my phone after the known problem with the SDS syndrome. My mobo was swapped..

Anyway I am a little rusty since I haven't been into ROMs/kernels lately so I have some questions as to the correct order and/or what I need to do.

I have seen that 4.3 is available through Cyanogen MOD so I am thinking about updating into this.

So I have some questions.

1. First and most importantly is Cyanogen 4.3 a stable release w/o issues? Do you have anything else to recommend (go for 4.2.2 for example)? I know this is personal preference but I'd like a rock stable ROM w/o issues, tested and fast if possible!

2. I had the swap internal/external memory mod with my previous builds. Is it compatible with Cyanogen or maybe is there any better way that I am unaware of to install apps on SD w/o the mod?

3. Do I need to have something else in mind ?

Hi,

I'm not quite sure if I should change something with my device. I have the latest stock rom (android version 4.1.2, kernel:3.0.31-1071214) and it serves me well.

But I dont really like the whole app-concept anymore. Too much access-stuff like "app needs to read your contacts", "can send sms without letting you know" etc. Plus: I dont like the opera browser (anymore) and the build-in keyboard app is..-.-

I dont use facebook or twitter or need a lot of apps/use the google apps.

So..hmm..does it make any sense to install a custom firmware? which one?

Or maybe Ubuntu Phone? But it seems you can't access the standard repositories of (desktop) ubuntu with it.

Or a rather plain firmware with no real apps except linux installer and then I put all the other stuff into a small linux distri? But I guess the battery will be drained faster then.

The permissions are kind of hard to avoid. There will be apps that will request random permissions that don't seem right. There are options to disable most google apps and other non-critical apps in the manage apps menu under settings.

If disabling apps don't quite fill the boot, you could try custom roms that have removed apps deemed unnecessary, or if you don't really use touchwiz functions like S Note, you can try AOSP-based custom roms such as CM. Note rooting and/or flashing custom roms voids your warranty.
