Root access is needed to do backup of ur imei/nfs.

In case when u flash rom something bad during flashing happen and make u lost the imei. This is no joke. :)

I read somewhere at xda that recovery is able to be flashed without root.

Hey guys, I have a problem, and I've been searching so I won't bother you but didn't quiet come to a solution

well, Here we go.

I use an app called Battery Widget Reborn, to estimate the remaining time of my battery,

the problem is that the estimation were working fine before I flash my rom again for some reason.

and now it shows on the discharge speed (n/a), and of course wrong battery time left.

Plus, which is more important, that the phone turns off by itself occasionally

for no reason and sometimes it restarts.

General Info:

- I used several battery apps with same result.

- My phone is rooted with DN3 4.4.2 Kitkat latest version.

- I did a factory reset.

- My sister started using my charger recently (Note 2 on S3), I don't know if that could have made a hardware issue on my Phone.

Need help fellas, I think I just bricked my phone. I flashed TWRP v 2.6.1.0, wiped everything, then installed CM11 unofficial. When it installed I got a fail message, I thought clearing data would help, but when I rebooted, I kept going into TWRP, I cant boot to system anymore!

Good thing that before all this, I flashed Philz via Odin and made a back up. Im flashing Philz again and will restore back up. In the meantime, can anybody give me instructions on how to install CM11+Agni CM Kernel on my phone? Exact instructions would help, also it would be better if instructions are made as simple as possible. +Thanks...

Is that all I need to do? Just flash from memory? Do I need to wipe dalvik cache?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noname159:
I have never seen initial boots taking longer then 10-15 mins, and thats extreme. So, lets try an hour - if it fails to boot at that time, you can be pretty sure it *won't* boot without your help. Truth to tell, I don't know Paranoid Android, I don't even know what Android version it's based on. Based from what version of Android you started, the problem simply can be because newer android versions are not backward compatible. On Phoenix ROM which I use, for example, I had to do quite a long preparation. It requires new bootloader, among other things. And you can't get back to your old ROM unless you get your old bootloader back, too. Sorry for not adding exact steps, you have to know what ROM you had before (as you started with rooting, I expect it was stock ROM, but I don't know what version). It would be better if someone with better knowledge of flashing and Paranoid Android answered this question.

Bell Note 2 Unrooting Error

Hey everyone,

I'm currently trying to figure out a strange error with my SGH-L317M (Bell Note 2) after I unrooted the device. After downloading I317MVLUCMK5_I317MOYACMK5_HOME.tar.md5 I used Odin v3.09 to unroot the device in order to sell it. The process went fine (no errors) but when I turn the device on it contains Rogers bloatware instead of Bell's usual applications.

Also when I insert my sim card into the device to make sure it works I can't get a data connection. However, I did the same process on another note 2 and it worked fine (Bell bloatware was intact and my data works).

The phone can receive and send phone calls, messages etc. Just the data does not work.

Details are:

Android Version 4.3

Baseband Version l317MVLUCMK5

Kernel Version 3.0.31-2156641

se.infra@R0301-06#1

Tue Nov 19 17:04:56 KST 2013

Build Number JSS15J.l317MVLUCMK5

Any help would be appreciated as I'm completely lost. I've tried wiping the data and repeating the Odin process with different md5 files but haven't had any luck with a different outcome.

I can go and believe your word of course, but I need some visual proofs. Something like a video of the process of downgrading from KitKat to any lower firmware, you know?

Most of them repair their problem by orginal stock rom (now latest available 4.3) The Note 2 latest update have bootloader which support 4.3 & 4.4. So its easy to flash both roms..

1) Says it uses 4.4.3 but the download link had 4.4.1 in the name. You would have to install it and see in phone settings to be sure.

2) I am sure its rooted.

3) No idea what is different, if it's not mentioned, we have no way to know.

4) As for ROM size, it is probably quite lightweight, not many apps by default.

How to flash stock ROM

Hi guys,

I currently have an N7100 running on stock 4.1.2 UAE firmware. I already have an OTA update available, probably for 4.3. But I want to flash a stock 4.3 Philippines version instead.

It's been a long time since I last flashed a phone, using my old Galaxy W, and is my first time to do so on my Note 2.

Now, I need help on the following:

1. Do I have to make an EFS backup? I've read that a lot everywhere on this forum. But it requires your phone to be rooted to do so.

2. Are firmwares really that big? I was able to search from here and the firmware that I was trying to download had 1.2GB file size.

3. I do not have an external sd card, so the only way to do this is through PC Odin. Am I right? 'Cause I've heard that there is already a Mobile Odin and it is safer as it doesn't require usb cable upon flashing.

4. Is there a link for the steps in flashing through PC Odin?

I'm looking forward for answers in this noob friendly thread.

I really would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance! :)
