Anyone using Invenio Carmen? I can't make it work since I installed DN3 5.2v ROM. The app works but it won't connect to Internet.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Mate, now we know you have an i317. With the N7100 it would be possible to extract the modem from any stock firmware and flash it with Odin or Heimdall.

Probably it is the modem that is optimized for the mobile networks frequencies in another country that causes the signal strength problems in your country.

You should try to find a firmware released for your country (or the closest country ti your region) and I hope somebody of i317 AT&T guys will confirm you that flashing of only modem works fine with your phone.

I've never checked what exactly the difference between i317 and N7100 is, but I suppose that it isn't possible- there should be some difference in the hardware. If so, it could totally brick your i317.

Difference between N7100 and SGH-I317 is its radio. Other all hardware are same. SGH-I317 Is LTE enabled while n7100 is only 3G . If you flash N7100 firmware on I317.. Probably u will end in bootloop or phone with out working radio.. Or something else.. not sure.... Also flashing incompatible firmware may lead to imei lost or it may damage efs partition..

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
If you have knox bootloader, save all data from knoxed apps elsewhere and disable knox in the shell.

Otherwise just flash any custom recovery (my own recommendation: recent PhilZ or TWRP), backup with your new recovery EFS (best both as tar.gz and .img) and then flash desired ROM with GApps.

Can u provide link to which 4.4.2 firmware you installed? Baseband information should suffice.

For wifi: you can go to applications -->all applications --> options --> reset app preferences.

For modem, u need to unlock your phone and then flash different modems to see which works best for you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
NE3 is for sure a knox'ed bootloader. As soon as you flash anything, efuse will trip its number from 0x0 to 0x1 and regarding the country where you live, it could be the reason for guarantee void.

I don't care for guarantee myself and I I would need, I would solve this other way, but you should know the facts and be aware of that.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
You have to find a stock firmware for your region due to the modem, as mobile frequences differ from region to region - if possible with the same build number, or as close as possible (rather earlier if same not available)

Extract a new modem.bin

Put it to your sd card.

Use Root Explorer (or Root Browser) from Play Store

Navigate to existing modem.bin.

Check permissions and write down.

Copy the existing modem.bin to somewhere on sdcard to have it safely saved!

Then delete the original modem.

Then copy new modem.bin to /radio.

Set permissions as of your notice.

Reboot.

This way works on other Samsung phones, it should also work on yours, I hope so, yet I didn't check myself on your device.

Be absolutely sure to backup your EFS folder before you replace the modem, you can use PhilZ and create .img and tar.gz files....I would do both!

Good luck!

Hello,

When I rooted my phone with odin, and check info it seems it already went to 0x1.

I have read that it's possible to reset the counter tho?

I bought this phone used, so there is no more waranty, does that mean I can install a custom firmware on top of a knox bootloader? or it doesn't matter? or I need another bootloader?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Don't worry :)

I still have more than 1 year of guarantee left for my N7100 but I really don't care for it- I've used stock firmware only for 10 min to test camera, speakers, GPS, bluetooth and all other sensors and right after that flashed another OS

:D

Samsung usually has quite a good hardware and usually it will work fine forever. Your bootloader will not boot 4.2.2 and earlier, but honestly I don't know any reason why would one install earlier JB or even ICS on the N7100

It is no problem at all, you can install any custom ROM from 4.3 and later. Give a try with SlimBean 4.3, it is small and fast ROM with beautiful real dark slim mode (that toggles all google apps into the dark mode) and Bluetooth works perfectly fine, which isn't the case with Kitkat ROMs. You need stable build 2.2 and Slim GApps for 4.3. If you like the idea, you will find it on slimroms.net

If you prefer vibrant colors of Samsung TW, there is ton of custom ROMs of that kind.

Hi erm, i might be asking a stupid question, but what are the differences between the non-lte (n7100) and lte (n7105) variants of the note in terms of software? Things like flashing roms and kernels.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
Cross flashing will cause problems. N7105 stock kernel is different from N7100 because they have a different radio.

Also, why would you think of cross flashing? Both N7100 & N7105 have dedicated ROMs to try from.

DN3 and Dr. Ketan's ROMs are amazing. You can check that out.

Stupid of me, but is here a way to fix this? :eek: Thank you for the suggestions, i shall try them once this problem is fixed (if ever) hahah :o
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
1. Flash custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) for your device N7105 through ODIN.

2. Download Dr. Ketan's multitool aroma zip and install it through recovery.

3. When Aroma runs just make backup of EFS folder. (Important!)

4. Exit Aroma and copy that folder to safe location. On PC or SD card or both.

5. Download N7105 stock firmware from sammobile.

6. Flash stock via ODIN.

7. When the phone starts, the language screen appears. Don't go further. Power off the phone.

8. Enter stock recovery and do a factory reset.

9. Boot in and you are ready to roll.

10. Make sure u download exact firmware for your device. Otherwise you will brick the device.

11. Press thumbs up if u found the suggestions helpful.

I would love to give you an answer right away, but as much as I can see all i317/t0lte models (at least all firmwares I saw) are released for the countries on american continent. I'm not sure the mobile broadcasting frequences are compatible with your country. Google after modems and try to see if N7100 modems with open asian frequences can safely be flashed on your phone.

Remember: backup your EFS folder before first attempt!

Possibly open modems for India (starting with DD....) would work in your country. On your place I would ask this in dr.ketan's thread, he knows all about all Note 2 variants and many users of his ROMs are familiar with baseband flashing.

But flashing a bootloader is a risky task and if it goes bad, only JTAG can revive the phone again.

JTAG? Usually only service uses it. They revive hard bricked phones with that. Check my last post before this one, it has link to the procedure of a bootloader flashing for N7100

Although I could make an Odin package with bootloader for i317, the point is that I don't know if it works same way like on N7100 and if it should be chosen under PDA or BOOTLOADER. Wrong setting can brick the phone.
