It's safe to flash existing 4.3 modem on 4.4.2 stock rom?

i have existing 4.3 efs backup .

And, b'Coz after updating to STOCK 4.4.2 from 4.3, if something goes wrong with efs (null imei) so can it's okay to flash existing 4.3 modem over 4.4.2 to gain imei Back?

I can't turn on WIFI

Hello!

I have installed the latest CM nightly 11 to my GT-N7100 and is running smoothly. But I wanted to try some of the Touchwiz.

I installed Phamtom ROM, another one I do not remember the name, and finally JellyKat (V5). With all I have the same problem, I can't turn on the WIFI. Every time I turn it on, one second later it turns off.

I have read all the threads from start to finish and I have not found anything.

I did it all the instalations following the instructions as if they were to disarm a bomb.

I have the latest version of TWRP Recovery. As I said before, in each case I followed the instructions and doing all wipes requested.

Because WIFI works well with the CM11, I discard the idea of some hardware problems.

I'm sure I missing something very basic, but i can't find anything

I welcome any help!

Greetings!

Using resurrection remix and cm11 i noticed that bluetooth works really badly. The connection is very bad, when i listen to music and step from phone on about 1 meter, music begins to stutter and phone disconnects from BT headset. Even if phone and bt music set are in different pockets it can happen. Never had such problem with older phones. Is there any way to fix this?

Didn't catch your reply! Thanks for your advise! I'm wondering if I should root my Note 3 now. Managed to hoot it off my dad as he just renewed his hp contract. So he's using my Note 2 now.

3 things bothering me:

1. Is there a way to root and later unroot in a case of any warranty claims? Once unrooted I believe there's some counter to reset?

2. Is it worth it to root a fresh phone for the purpose of root access (use of apps that need them)? Cus I don't really want any custom roms. I'm pretty satisfied and used to my Nova Launcher Prime. :p

3. What are the chances of bricking (both soft and hard) my phone?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yakobus:
First of all, congratz on the Note III :D Sounds like a good deal you made there :P

Nice to hear you recognized my post, you are welcome.

Here are some answers to your questions. Just my opinion, of course.

1)

Getting rid of root itself is very simple but, as you already said, there is still that warranty thing.

The flash counter, that logs how often you flashed your phone, can also be reset using "Triangle Away".

Then there is the Knox Counter. It will switch from 0x0 to 0x1 if you modify ROM, kernel or recovery and it has been impossible to reset it, so far. Following Samsung, your warranty is void as soon as that happens. It is actually supposed to depend on your country's laws whether they are allowed to refuse warranty or not, so this does not have to mean anything. But we all know companies, don't we? :rolleyes:

2)

You can find many useful apps out there which will require root and allow you to do magical things with your phone. But that does not necessarily mean that you need them, especially as long as you are satisfied with the functions you already have without root access.

In brief: You are satisfied with your phone, you do not miss anything and you do not want to use a custom ROM either - so keep things the way they are and you will not have to worry about warranty and bricks :good:

And the best thing about that: You can still root later.

3)

As long as you read carefully and watch out for flashing the files intended for your phone, you are pretty much on the safe side.

However, the odds are that you brick your phone. Soft bricks can be solved by reflashing the correct software most of the time. Hard bricks are rare but if you manage to get one - well, they are hard to fix ;)

Cheers.

N7105 motherboard in N7100 assembly

Hi there, I am new to all this and not an electronics genuous. Recently my N7100 stooped switching on while on the charger. Got it checked by Samsung and they said the motherboard is gone and require a new motherboard. I saw a N7105 LTE with broken screen and LCD on Ebay and bought it. The phone N7105 LTE does not show the display but it comes on and I can hear it booting and when I call the sim from a different phone it rings as well. SO I decide to use the motherboard in my N7100 as both phones are exactly the same size and dimensions. I have managed to fit the board in the N7100 but the phone does not switch on.

Replacing it back in N7105 LTE and it works again. Please could someone inform me if there is any issue with this kind of conversion. Have someone done it successfully in the past. Am I doing something wrong or missing something. Any help would be highly appreciated. All I can think of is that it could be that my N7100 LCD is busted as well, not sure how to test this though. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Rooting Kitkat stock (OTA) – note 2 GT N7100

Hi

This page seems really helpful,

I am Completely a knoob when it comes to rooting, have my note 2 for almost 6 months now i am on stock 4.4.2 (OTA) with knox, can any one tell me how to root and take efs and imei backup ( or can it be done without rooting) as well as to not trip knox and if OTA can still be received.

Questions

1. Will tripping knox harm the phone (physical or brick it forever – where to check knox counter?), i don’t care about warranty as the phone is more than a year old now.

2. Does the WiFi get affected or any other problem.

I would also like to flash Note 3 kitkat (stock) with S5 Mod is there a clear way to do this. By the way i have not done rooting or flashed other ROM’s before ever. I have searched through the forum but very confused as most have already rooted the phones before.

Sorry to post such a big question really like my phone and can’t afford another for some time.

If someone can help me i would really appreciate it. Thanks In advance.

It is a touch recovery, there won't be need of using your volume key to navigate after flashing.

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

1. Tripping knox will not harm your device or brick your device forever. What it does is voiding your warranty and for now it is irreversible once it is tripped.

2. Your wifi gets affected when you are flashing a newer custom rom like kitkat while coming from 4.1.2 with older bootloader.

But you have no problem since u are already on stock kitkat.

Now that u are willing to void ur warrany and enjoy the goodies that comes with rooting, Visit this thread first page on how to root your device running kitkat http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143479

To get into download mode or recovery without the use of ur hardwares u need 2 apps, Xposed installer and Wanam Xposed.

Get xposed installer from here http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk and download wanam xposed from playstore.

after installation of the 2 apps, Open xposed installer-> framework-> intall/update-> ok and reboot.

Then open xposed installer again and activate wanam xposed by clicking on modules and thick wanam xposed. Reboot if it prompt u to.

Now frm your app drawer open wanam xposed scroll down to System and activate or enable 4 way reboot menu. Then reboot your phone.

After reboot try switching off your phone again and a 4 way reboot menu will prompt out, select ur choice and click ok.

2)ditto note 3 rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52398713

they are really nice roms we should be grateful to the developers :)

and the process of flashing them is so simple once you have rooted your phone and flashed custom recovery you have to download the rom of your choice along with addons(s5 apps,themes,mods) and put them in your external SD card and go into custom recovery(philz or twrp) i recommend twrp and there (before u do anything make a nandroid backup,back up your system data efs ) just choose wipe to install new rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache and then choose install zip and browse to the location where you have stored the custom rom and select n it will flash n again wipe cache n dalvik cache and reboot phone ,,Your done u have a new rom on your phone and be sure to thank the developer and follow the thread of your Rom for continuous updates and bug fixes if any.
