Memphis, just wondering about your signature really... Are you running on CM 10 nightly builds? Or some other 4.2.2. ROM?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bokeholic:
Help needed :D unable to boot completely

Hi folks,

Could someone help me to solve this problem:

My Note2 N7100 from Belgium - no simlock (is it the international version?)

I applied the rooting method #2 with Odin

Everything worked well until yesterday, I tried an app to add multi windows compatibility, I don't know if it's the reason why after the reboot my Note get stuck after a partial boot, then reboots.... (logo animation but no sound - black screen - reboot and so on...)

I tried to reapply the rooting procedure (Odin), it seems to runs as usual with a green "PASS!" at the end but the phone still cannot boot completely, it reboots continuously ...

I tried to copy the md5 file to the SD card and apply it with vol up + home + power / external SD

what should you recommend me to do?

What is the cause of this?

Thanks in advance for reading, if you can guide me... :cool:

I'm running RootBox ROM: CM10.1+PA+AOKP bases.

Flash an official firmware to go back to normal situation then flash CF Auto Root and finally use a module with Xposed Framework to have MW.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5154:
if all you want is a rooted stock ROM, then these Pre rooted ROMs would be best choice. They won't even raise counter. and it's only one step. flashing Via Odin and you are done.

Plus you get official OTA updates

RE: Help needed :D unable to boot completely

Hi Memphis,

Thanks for the tips! I'm sure those are the right things to do in this scenario, I searched on XDA and with Google for a solution before doing anything because I don't want a bricked phone :laugh:

But applying a stock FW didn't worked for me: "bad signature"....

I also tested a counter reset with supplied file, counter keeps increasing and boots partially...

re-test this method without any improvement

I gave my phone to a friend who knows better what to do, hopes he can fix it :cool:

I learned one thing: after rooting first make an EFS backup, would it helped me out in this case?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
"Bad signature":eek: You have to flash the FW via Odin :D

.TAR.MD5 files have to be flashed via Odin only!

Then you flash CF Auto Root with the same method (.TAR.MD5 to be put on the PDA field).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bokeholic:
RE: Help needed :D unable to boot completely

Yes, I first tried thru Odin but nothing happens, well Odin is working because everything goes as expected but nothing changes on the phone :D

At the end Odin gives me a green Pass! ... that's why I tried to copy the md5 onto a SD card to update, but not accepted...

A friend is actually working on it, I hope he will fix it :fingers-crossed:

It's stupid because I'm confident with computers and networks, but fixing a phone :laugh::laugh::laugh:

error restoring

Hello I have a Galaxy Note 2 for T-mobile. I was in the application manager playing around with a couple stuff and I accidentally deleted the Phone application instead of force stop/clearing the data. So I downloaded different dialers and contact applications so I could avoid the factory reset.

With the new dialer/contact program, I no longer had the pictures for my contacts, I didn't even have an option to save contacts/send contacts.

So I went ahead and rooted it so I could set up a backup just in case I were to screw this up even more than I could have. So I created a backup about 5 times. I then factory reset the phone thinking I would get my Phone application back and then I could restore it and get my features back.....

Well it doesn't. so I was able to restore it from the backup and it brought me back to the first step where I had all my contacts, no phone options. Sooooo... I decided to put on a new rom and I downloaded the MyROM thinking it would bring the phone option back and in case it didn't, I was going to just restore it again.

I put the Myrom on there and the phone application came back, but I realized I had forgot to save my contacts. I thought to myself it shouldn't be too much of a problem since I had the backup file saved 5 times for safety. Well.. it won't let me restore it anymore. It keeps saying

" Error while restoring /system "

so I looked around online and they said to update CWM and try. Still doesn't work.

unroot it and try reroot. - still doesn't work.

So I just ordered a new note 2 through warranty. I have tried unrooting/rerooting minimum 40 times. it still won't restore from backup.

If I could just restore that backup so I can see my contacts... sigh.. am I doomed?

I am on 4.1.2 android btw.

I tried to restore backups from google as well btw.. it only brings back like 20 of them back....

Thanks for your time and sorry for the essay.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solegrin:
Okay :)

So I already want to try BobcatROM and AvatarROM. Can I use NEAK kernel on those ROMs?

And If I'm going to root my N2, what can I use for those ROMs? do I need sa custom recovery?

I was about to post in their threads about my concerns but I cant. Sorry.

I just want to make everything sure before I do it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Yes NEAK Kernel is fully compatible with these 2 ROMs. You just have to be carefull while choosing the kernel version. You need to take the FW & Samsung file (.Zip or .Tar - Recovery or Odin flash).

To be able to flash a Custom ROM you need a custom recovery (unofficial file signature). I would recommend TWRP Recovery which remains the best for me.

For a clean flash you have to do a FULL WIPE in the recovery. With TWRP: Wipe > Data + Dalvik cache + System. Then you go to Install menu. You take the .Zip file of the ROM and swype to flash.

No need to root before flashing but in any case TWRP will push root files into your system automatically.

Hope everything is much clear now ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5154:
what you've deleted is not the dialer. stock dialer is in fact inside seccontacts. apk

you have deleted The app which is manogaing gsm modem. if you are on a custom deodexed Rom Then just grab secphone.apk From The Zip file and paste it to /system/app.

if you are on an odexed ROM then reflash it using odin.

and more important you're rooted your phone and voided it's warranty. reset the Counter before giving it to them
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiltsky:
Hello guys I've done a ton of searching found some good info just need a hand getting the final info I need.

Proud owner of new Galaxy note 2 N7100 running 4.1.2 the phone is locked to 3 mobile and I need unlocking to t-mobile.

I've read the old way of easily unlocking is no longer compatible with 4.1.2 as there is no option 4 in the menu so it needs the radio rolling back to a previous version.

I'd be very grateful if anyone can show me the radio I'd need and also if being unrooted its still possible to achieve this?

My baseband version is N7100NEDLK1

If you need more info let me know.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbaik610:
I'm on t-mobile. I believe it's the stock rom so it's odexed right? I thought odex + deodex was for sprint only, I guess I'm mistaken?

Im just trying to restore my nandroid backup.....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5154:
Nope odex and deodex are methods that android stores cache data. Basicly all android devices uses odex system, it's a bit faster and more stable but very very hard to modify so custom roms tends to use deodex version of apps.

I read your previous post again and got a little confused. You've deleted a system app when your device was not rooted?in fact built in application manager can't uninstall system apps at all, even with root.

Anyway, first the worst scenario :p go to setting/about device/status and check out you have an IMEI.can you connect to network for data or sms, etc? If yes then it means that your efs data are not gone. And you don't need to use warranty

Since you've uninstalled that app, it's not exist anymore to be restored by factory reset. And I think you did the nandroid backup after deleting that, thus restoring won't help either.

Search sammobile or this forum for an image of an appropriate ROM and flash it via odin.

Or find exact same ROM and copy lost apps from it. But it's to hard and I'm not sure it worms for a odex Rom at all. at the end you must flash a completely stock rom before send it back for gaurranty, because they will check custom binary counter and system status and they will find that you've rooted that device. read dr katan post about reseting counter.

Be careful that flash a rom exactly for your phone. Is your phone a N7100? Or t mobile has a special edition?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbaik610:
I'm almost positive it's an N7100. The model is T889, but I don't think that affects the model #.

What I need right now is to just be able to restore the nandoid backup, All my contacts are saved to that backup since I wasn't able to back it up any other way. If it requires a pen and some paper then I'm willing to make that sacrifice.. Once I can get the nandroid back I put on my SD card, it doesn't matter. The phone application is working on the phone right now.. It was already factory reset through ODIN using the stock firmware for the Note 2. I rooted it again hoping to be able to recover the nandroid backup. but it won't work. Even if I put the sd card in the warranty phone tmobile sent me, it keeps saying error while restoring /system

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Hi

You always have to flash the custom ROM then Gapps (if AOSP based ROMs normally) and finally the custom kernel coz each ROM (official or custom) has its own kernel.

Some custom ROMs have more bugs than others. The better choice will always be to try yourself.

Moreover you can avoid alpha/beta/exp/nightly versions if you want a system as stable as possible. For example, the Rootbox rom has a stable version (V4) and new nightlies have been released.

See you mate ;)

Telstra GT-N7105T

Hi there,

After having my Note 2 for about 5 months, I've finally gotten sick of Touchwiz and would like to flash a custom rom (I'm thinking Paranoid Android, because Halo is awesome). However I've run into a little snag: my phone is a GT-N7105T, and all the rooting methods and custom roms I've been able to find are for the GT-N7105. What's more, I've read that people have had mixed results with using regular N7105 methods on the N7105T (and on my old i9000T, I would use regular i9000 roms without any hassle, but suspect it could be different with the new phone)... so my question is this: do you know of any ways to root a GT-N7105T and flash a custom recovery onto it without bricking the damn thing? I've exhausted all of my Google-fu, and wasn't able to find anything helpful...

Cheers!

Just follow instructions carefully, use a fully charged laptop, full charge your phone and be patient. After rooting, it's safer to flashing via recovery or mobile odin.

Personal Experience: restart your pc, before using odin and don't do anything else with it when odin is working. And connect your phone directly to pc, not to a USB hub.
