Interesting binary counter..

Yes, yesterday night i backed up and re-root my note 2.. First I was following Chayangkul99's guide way no:1 but i have failed to reset my counter.. After half a hour and 4 root, un-root, re-root, etc; the solution came itself.. :D For that time being i thought what the heck it's not working anyway and i decide to follow dr. ketan's guide(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696) by rooting way no:2 after all was done i downloaded redpill kernel and put it on my phones memory, and uplied zip under firmware mode and tadaaa redpill kernel was installed.. After I was done I turned phone on, installed TriangleAway from market, opened TriangleAway(and get shocked by no download requirement), my counter status was 5 so i resetted it.. Nothing gone wrong.. Now the interesting part begins.. When i want to check on download mode i saw neither my counter has raised nor my status was custom.. :D i read about everywhere people who hasn't use CF Auto Root gets binary status custom and they can't use Kies updates anymore.. and there was one more thing i was suprised.. i didn't check auto reset counter option but no matter how many times turn on and off and on again counter doesn't raises.. I've read somewhere about a chip(or a program i can't recall which) on note 2 and sgs3 searches for custom binary particules on every start-up and that's the reason counter always raises to 1.. but in my case counter doesn't raises.. i don't get why but i'm happy now.. :D by the way it would be nice to have such a guide, even though my battery life is excellent for now and i don't need to undervolt for now i can predict not in a long future battery stats will go crazy and i'll have to undervolt.. ;) So for now i set superuser to

deny sTweak's root access.. :cool:

Hi, very happy to see you beable to reset the counter now :) i personally rooted my device using the second method to, never really liked to use cf-auto root. You should use stweaks as it works very good with the kernel, i currently set my max clock rate to 1704 and did extreme undervolting, my battery life is now still very good :) btw i will now put the second rooting method as the first one as i think it should work better than the first one :)

Hi there.

Since installing ARHD, I couldn't find anymore an option to show only contacts with a phone number in the contacts app. I'm pretty sure it was in a menu inside it before.

Has it moved somewhere else, is it really off or am I THAT blind?

Why should it "work better"? What reasons do you have to assume this?

"I think it should work better" is bull, to be honest. Give real and reproducible reasons, or you're just guessing.

Ok, I´m completely Noob, on n7100.

I Was An Optimus 2X user for a Year and with it I changed Roms/ Kernels many times...

So, I intend to do the same on N7100, I think that custom rom uses a LOT of RAM, many things could be taken off :)

So, I´m in Brazil, and My phone is made HERE, I posted a picture with its information(BB/Kernel/Build).

My question is, Can I put ANY custom rom as I used to do on optimus 2X, or on note 2 i have to use specifics roms acording to the model Build ??

Thanks guys...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chayangkul99:
I personally have used both method, and the second method install the cwm for you too, the method is what people normally use, but cf-autoroot is trying to make it as close as stock as possible, having cwm is much better than the stock recovery, you can do much more things :)

You have to use custom rom that is made for your device, so in this case your phone is the n7100(note 2 international model) so you will need to use rom that is made for n7100, just look around in the N7100 development section and you will find many roms there :)

Ok, I Was in doubt about the Build version, if it could influence the process.

Do you know if when I flash the Rom on this note2, the BB is changed to or BB is Always kept when you install a Custom ?

I´d like to keep the BB, on optimus 2x , you had to change the BB whith smartfhash, the rom in .zip format didn´t touch the BB at all.

Thanks man.

I am using the stock rom that came with the Note 2.

Also, I am wondering if I can do allmost everything from the computer, like wiping the data etc.

As I am visually impaired I have been searching for different methods of flashing the device without having to do anything on the phone itself.

After the rom is installed I will be able to start the setup on the phone and configure it using Talkback, the screen reader for Android.

Many thanks for any help!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chayangkul99:
People actually like to flash custom rom on phone and not odin because it does increase the counter, if you want to flash something try and use mobile odin, it is quite useful you only need root and not cwm recovery :) there is also option to keep root, it is quite useful if you do not want to lose root when trying new rom :)

Best/Stable/Right ROM for Galaxy Note 2

Hi. Am currently on Android Revolution HD 5.0 ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I was just wondering if this is the best/stable ROM for my phone as I am quite puzzled because of the many ROMs (AR HD versions like 6.0 and others) available out there.

Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi, i will check about the custom rom from you, but i know that redpill kernel will fix that so maybe you could try flashing it :)

Edit: i have seen that jellybam also include the fix, but flashing kernel would be alot easier than rom (if you still want to stay on the same rom and not losing data)

Is there another place that has stock ROM's other than SamMobile?

I downloaded the Rogers stock ROM and it gave me the Bell firmware. It still says RWS on the ROM zip, but after flashing I am left with Bell software and not Rogers software. Even after a factory wipe it gives me the Bell software.

I also tried from androidromupdate, I was able to get a Rogers ROM, but again it gave me Bell software. Is there a step I should be taking before installing the stock ROM? I have a Rogers phone, so I don't quite get it if these are indeed Rogers ROM's.

What if I try the following, would it work? Install the Rogers stock ROM, even though it gives me Bell software, and then flash one of the OTA files from SamMobile?

Edit:

I remembered I made a backup in TWRP, so I installed TWRP and was able to restore the backup, however, now I have no way to remove TWRP since every ROM I flash installs the Bell software.

I found a few more roms, which were rooted, one via scott and one via MrRobinson. The one from MrRobinson installs Bell software even though I grabbed the Rogers one and the one from scott works, but it installs via TWRP which leaves me at the same situation of not being able to remove TWRP. AFAIK, the only way to remove TWRP is a flash via Odin, however that is leaving me with Bell software.

Currently I'm stuck in the following situation:

- Use the TWRP restore, however system says modified and I won't be able to update

- Use the stock ROM's and be stuck with Bell software

- Use custom ROM and be stuck modified

Is there a setting on the device that is keeping my Note 2 stuck to Bell? I am able to use my phone

Edit 2:

I just found and tried the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE2 TOOLKIT from mskip. I seen it had a stock recovery option. This worked in removing TWRP and installed stock recovery, but again it went and installed the Bell software (so now I have both Bell and Rogers software installed). I'm completely lost at what's causing this software to be installed. I thought the stock recovery from the toolkit would just install the recovery.

Edit 3:

Apologies for the mass edits, but trying to include any new information I find. I've been at this all last night and this morning.

I think I see the issue, when I boot into download mode I see Product name is "SGH-I317M_NA_BMC". The BMC is for Bell Mobile Company. I believe if I can change this, I can succssfully restore, but I can't find anything on how to change this nor do I know how it got changed in the first place. Does anyone know how to change the product name?

About warranty

Hey, just to make sure, I lose warranty from my phone if I flash a custom rom to my phone, I know.

Anyways, do we have any programs or other ways of reseting the counter? I have tried googling a bit, but haven't found any clear solution.

Also, what is the main difference between Android Development and Original Android Development?

Sorry for being a little lazy and asking here instead of using a little time and effort of googling these things. I just want a personal answer, which kind of satisfies me more :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamarco:
You can use Triangle Away to reset your counter. However, if you are still on a custom ROM a reboot will increase the counter so it's always better to run it on a stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Airline mode problem...(cell standby battery drain)

I'm back again with a different issue. Having installed Revolution 8.0 HD, all seems well aside from one strange quirk. When I check my battery usage, the 'cell standby' is using up 35% of my battery, just behind the screens usage. I don't have a sim card in my phone, and I have set it to airplane mode (which I assume disabled the cell radios)...

Yet according to my battery monitor, the cell standby has been on for the entire time my phone has been switched on. I am getting pretty good battery life already, but I would really really like to disable the cellular network component of my Note 2 so I can really max out battery life.

Could someone else test out their 'airplane' mode on their Note 2's. Specifically, when you switch to Airline mode, does it register in the battery monitor?

Many thanks

(By the way, I would post directly on the Revo 8.0 page - but unfortunately I am not allowed to do so as I haven't been a member of XDA for long enough)

I have an update with my issue and I'm documenting my steps in case anyone finds this with the same issue. It turns out the Canadian firmware has all the different carriers built in and no matter what the product name will always say "SGH-I317M_NA_BMC" in ODIN Download Mode.

I found information here on how to change the CSC which after I did I was able to apply the firmware which installed the Rogers software. After doing so I was able to use Triangle Away and then unrooted within SuperSU. The phone is now no count and able to update (status is normal) within the OS.

Information on the CSC can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34524458&postcount=24

Information on the rooted ROM can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2004650

Steps

1. Download and install the CSC changer in the Play Store

2. Change your CSC to RWC (note RWC is Rogers, change according to your carrier)

3. Your device will perform a factory wipe after changing the CSC (this is automatic)

4. Install the rooted ROM from mrRobinson via ODIN (note this will install stock recovery as well)

5. Once you're booted install Triangle Away and reset your counter (can verify within Download mode after completion)

6. With the counter reset you're safe to remove root via SuperSU, perform a full unroot which will permanently unroot your device

7. Optional, but will more than likely lead to less problems later, you can perform a factory reset

You will now have a reset counter with normal status and be able to update.

I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue as it seems Canadians have a bit of a workaround to get things going.

[New question]

Hello,

I've bought my N7100 from KSA with "AP: XXALJ3, CP: XXALJ2 and CSC: OJVALJ2" along with v4.1.1 and it's an international version which isn't in bound of any carrier. But it's showing me mostly all Samsung original content in Arabic, Terms and Conditions are turning in Arabic, most content in Arabic.

Samsung thinks, every single living thing in Saudi Arabia is an Arabic speaker/read-writer without asking any option to chose. Yes, phone language is English. I'm Turkish and comfortable with both TR and EN, can't even read Arabic...

Currently device is rooted by CF-Auto-Root and Xposed framework for MultiWindow (thanks Chainfire, Xposed and MultiWindow coders, your works were great) and

I'm asking these things;

I- I will go to SamMobile and download a TR/US/GB International Rom and flash it through PDA(Odin) -> Will it work?

II- How do I know that firmware can be intact with my device, how to chose them?

III- Will my root and stuff be deleted?

IV- If all my thoughts are wrong, then what I am able to get rid of this Arabic content? I want to change device as like it bought either from TR/GB/US any of it which suits.

I've made search before posting this since I didn't find any reliable source yet. Hopefully will have a clear answer here.

Regards,

hi thank you for the quick reply, i had a look at what you asked me to do and i did manage to find all the settings, however it looks to me everything is working apart from the light sensor one, all the other settings came up as a PASS apart from the light sensor which came as level 0, which i dont know what that means, while i was on the sensor screen i swiped my hand across the sensor and the screen shifted colour from white to yellow, which is a good indication that it is working , however i went back on the operating system and tried the palm swipe and it did not work, niether did the quick glance, and the pan to zoom features are not working either, i did test the gyrocope settings and it came out as a PASS too, could you explain maybe why this may be happening and what does the level 0 on the light sensor option means, please and thank you , i really do appreciate it.

Sorry to tell you buddy, but you own a demonstration version of the Note 2. I own the same device (though I own it knowingly, mainly because it only cost me £150)

You won't be able to get the sim card working as the mobile phone component has been removed. The storage is also only 5GB, not 16GB...

Everything else works the same (though I am starting to think that removing the mobile phone component has some way hobbled the airplane mode. The cellular network remains switched on and searching, despite not having the hardware to connect to a cellular network)

Uhm yes, hello, newbie here.

I recently rooted my Note 2, flashing the "cwm6-root-n7100.tar" via odin in download mode. Root in stock ROM works fine, but I wanted to try other ROMS, so I downloaded them, placed on internal SD and started flashing around.

No matter what ROM I flash, i get a "ripped" kernel boot logo (is it called a kernel boot logo? The boot logo where it just says the model name etc, before ROM bootlogo).

What part of the system spawns this? It seems it's corrupted. I also get no ROM boot logo, no matter what ROM i try. If I go back to stock, it works normally. Is something corrupted?

I first thought I killed it, but it boots into download and recovery fine, and if you let it sit, it boots into ROM after a very long time. Sometimes it needs a reboot, but generally works fine. What should I flash to make it work normally?
