Asking for advice on Upgrading my Rooted N7105 Firmware

Hello Sirs/Ma'ams,

I would like to update my N7105's firmware to the latest Android version, however, it seems I can no longer update it via the self-service since it detects that my phone is rooted.

With this, I would like to seek your expert advice on the best way I can update my firmware without getting it bricked or whatsoever.

I have not performed any ROM-modification (I think) since I do not want to mess with my phone that far yet, and, I do not have much extra time for it.

Model: GT-N7105

Android Version: 4.1.2

Please let me know if you need any other information. Thank you for your time.

Which part of my phone is damaged

Hi, I stupidly left my phone in my bag and let it sit at the bottom of it, and left it on the wet ground for around 20-30 min.

I also had been dumping my bag hard onto the floor about 2 or 3 times with my laptop and books in it.

When I took it out to use the screen was wet and the back had a droplet or two, I open the back case and everything looked normal.

When I unlocked the phone (it was already on) the screen showed the the top portion 1/3 of the phone,

it showed a purple-pinkish static and it slowly went down my screen showing the rest of the screen (my lock screen), the touch screen did work but it was um.. iffy?(it didn't act like it normally would)

I thought that was weird so I restarted it, upon opening it the screen showed mirrored opening logo/lockscreen and again it happened like the description above but mirrored.

I again tried taking out the battery and putting it back in same thing happened.

I decided to shut off my phone and leave it to the end of the day since I still had school.

Then I turn it on there is a black screen and nothing is shown and the buttons shining like it normally would.

Now I can't even turn it on when i can charge the phone (i think, it display a red light on top of the phone).

Water indicator under battery shows blue-purple x and the one next to speaker (took it apart) isnt.

The screen is not cracked and look the same like when I took it to school.

I had the phone for about 5-6 months. My phone model is the galaxy note 2 n7100

So can anyone help me which part of phone is broken and how I can fix it? Thank you for taking your time to read this.

those things you do after you wet ur phone is exactly the opposite of what you should do.... you should NOT turn on ur phone, NOT charge ur phone... take out the battery, sim and sdcard... let it dry.... submerge it overnight into a basin of uncooked rice.... 90% of the time this will do...

i think u damaged ur phone by charging it...

Which browser is easiest to use with one hand on a large phone like this (whether natively or with the help of extensions), like maybe the ability to move the URL and search bar to the bottom of the screen, and at the same time is the most secure and/or has the best support for extensions like script blockers, ad blockers and tracker-stoppers?

Hi I am a noob.I have Australian vodafone Note 2 N7105T. I have rooted and have been flashing various custom roms and could go back to the stock rom following the instruction in XDA. This made me to falsely believe that I have acquired some knowledge in this area. Now recently I flashed a Sky_note 4.3 R8 on my note 2 and everything worked fine excepting wifi ( as mentioned in the thread). I flashed through recovery "boot_CWM_I747UCDLK3" believing that this will take care of the wifi issue. But my note is now getting struck at samsung booting screen.

I tried the following: 1) flashed wanamlte 4.1.2 custom rom, 2) flashed the stock rom through ODIN. But every time the note 2 is stuck at samsung boot screen.

I am able to go download mode and the recovery mode. But in the recorvery mode, it allows only to wide the data.

In another thread, I was advised that that I should try to install the correct boot loader using odin and to request for the a dump of the correct bootloader in this forum. PLease help me out. My note is is now bricked. Fortunately, I am able to get into the download mode. thanks

Phoenixrom v14 and Hola Better internet

Hi.

I've rooted my n7100 long time ago and I've been using an app called Hola to watch US netflix here from Europe.

Yesterday I finally flashed my rom for the first time. I decided to go with Phoenixrom v14.

Everything is working nicely, but now when I start Hola, it disconnects my data connection.

Hola works by root access or by creating VPN connection. Ive tried both but now working.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix Hola or any other apps that helps me access US Netflix?

Hi Mate

I have a GT N7105T Vodafone Australia note 2 with a 4.1.2 custom rom. I flashed Sky_note 4.3 R8 and everything was fine excepting wifi. I thought flashing through recovery "boot_CWM_I747UCDLK3" will fix the wifi issue. But my note 2 is now getting struck at samsung booting screen. I am able to go to the download mode and therefore I have tried the following 1) flashed wanamlte 4.1.2 custom rom, 2) flashed the stock rom through ODIN. But every time the note 2 is stuck at samsung boot screen.

I am also able to go to the recovery mode but the option to install from sd card is not comingup now.

My phone is now bricked. I have flashed a lot of custom roms and therefoe I foolishly did as above. AS I am still able to go to download mode I belive i still have a hope.:confused: PLEASE ADVISE.

Hi !

What's the best method to keep great battery life ?

Cause my note 2 is starting to suck the battery faster than before

Any tips ? :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanosMouz:
I would suggest going to recovery mode, doing a full wipe and then flash an official 4.1.2 ROM via Odin.

If this works then you can flash again any ROM you want.

Your mistake about the non working WiFi was that you just had to flash mj5 boot loader via Odin (if the ROM you used was mj5 of course), instead of flashing that fix.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

The best you can do is check your Partial Wakelocks via BetterBatteryStats and try find what drains your battery. If you can't find a solution, here are some tips that may help you a bit.

Try using greenify for battery hungry apps (such as Facebook, Facebook messenger). It will put them on sleep every time you don't use them.

Also you can turn of WiFi - Data when your screen is off.

You can close some auto syncs such as Google Contacts etc. and turn them on only when you want to make a sync.

Finally, turning mails from push to sync may also save you some battery life.

P.S. Are you using Light manager for led notifications?

Stable rom?

Hi guys,

Could someone advice me on finding a stable custom rom based on TW?

I tried Phoenixrom v14 (my first custom rom) but there's been a lot of bugs like phone randomly closes/restarts, really laging screen wake up, music stuttering when screen is closed and when recieving a phone call the screen takes a LOOONG time to wake up and if I try to manually wake the screen I have to get thru unlock screen before I can answer.

I'm thinking about system reset to see how the rom behaves without all 3rd party apps before i switch to another rom.

I'd like to find a stable custom rom that's based on TW cause I don't want to lose multiwindow and spen features or should I just return to stock rom? Id prefer custom rom cause this is all new to me and I wan't to explore. :)

That's all... For now. ;)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
My understanding is when it upgrades to different base version, your installed apps shall all be gone.

Though IF the flashing process has never removed (clean up your phone), you are advised to do so by doing a full wipe, to have a good clean ROM to run as your daily driver.

But, you should still be able to backup with titanium, and restore it back later on.

That's what I did everytime I upgrade the base ROM / or changing from ROM to another ROM. Clean installation is always the best, to avoid any FC / any unexpected error.

If that happened only recently, Try to remember the last app(s) you have installed / update before it happened.

Perhaps there is/are app(s) which require a lot of resources running in background.

So far I used any of my samsung devices, I never experience so called as "recently" just happen like that. There must be something I did (intentionally/unintentionally) which make the device lagging.

SGN II - Region Lock problem

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum so dont be mad etc.

Situation: Bought Samsung Galaxy Note II as a used one on eBay. Phone is from United Arab Emirates, Unlocked. I didn't worried about that until this Region Lock thing ;/ I'm living in Europe (actually UK) and i want also to update it soon to 4.3 when it will come.

Question: Will my phone will be region locked? IF Yes, what I can do to have 4.3, which software is best? (for me is important stability and original like from Samsung or software looking like from SGN3) IF No, then i think there will be no more questions.

I think a lot of people are confused about this Region Lock, I read a lot about that Region Lock, how its work, somewhere I found it is some countries Region Lock Free etc. but still I'm confused and not sure.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edhaas:
As far as I know, region lock is only an issue with the Note 3, or perhaps branded Note 2's (sim lock). If you bought an N7100 (international version) you should have no trouble. I have flashed many roms (my counter is now at 24) from various locales, and never had an issue with my N7100 Note 2 getting cell data after putting in correct APN data. Be careful and read before updating to a 4.3 rom though. The stock ones so far do not allow you to "downgrade". Play around with the 4.1 roms first. Enjoy your Note 2!
