[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GManBA:
Hello everyone. I am new to flashing roms, I have done it only once with the new version of Kitkat through Twrp. My question is what roms can I flash with my model of phone? I have the i317m which is Canadian. I read in a forum that my phone can flash at&t roms but could not confirm this. Most of the roms I see are for the n7100 and n7105. I don't expect someone to explain everything to me but if there is a helpful link to a FAQ page that explains this I would be very appreciative of it.

Yes it does matter. Especially if your using 4.3 based roms.

Rooted MG1, how to upgrade to MK4 without wipe

Hi,

the Kies upgrade procedure allows to upgrade standard MG1 with standard MK4, without losing data or apps.

I want to do that with my rooted MG1, and end up with a rooted MK4, without losing my files or apps.

My MG1 is standard MG1 I rooted myself (no custom ROM), so how can I do that? Flash counter is still 0 because I purchased and used Triangle Away, also recovery is CWM.

I would think the safest way is probably:

#restore orignal recovery, unroot, maybe erase flash counter again, upgrade to MK4 with KIES (keeping data intact), then re-root and put CWM recovery again and reset flash counter again, BUT:

-does that actually work?

-is there a simpler method?

-what should be done at each step exactly (so many threads each with some info for some of the steps, but none found with complete procedure, or else, they require wipe data)?

-where to find & download the right files & tools that work?

Any advice welcome.

Thanks,

cyclistefou

The 4.3 update (MJ9, India, 21 Nov) screen provided me with 3 options: later, install all, install. Since I didn't want to install Knox, and thought that choosing install would provide me with choices regarding what I wanted to install, I chose the install option. It gave me no choices and jumped right into updating and installing. Now that I've got 4.3 installed, there's this Knox icon in the apps section which gives an intro to what Knox is and says that it's 157 MB and if I want to have Knox on my phone I'm go to have to download it.

Big story.

Now the big question: Does this mean that no part of Knox is installed on my phone (because I didn't choose install all) and that I can carry on with the normal root procedure for my N7100?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Nope.

So far my understanding is about this KNOX is : Once you have upgraded to official 4.3 ROM (MK4/MK5), you will get the KNOX void warranty flag, together with the KNOX container inside your apps. The KNOX container itself will need a manual installation by you (if u press and download, and install it). But the KNOX void warranty flag is there already, because it comes with the new bootloader. You can go into download mode, and check, there should be written "KNOX void warranty".

If you want to root / flash other 4.3 ROM, it will trigger the flag, which mark your device as modified, and you won't be able to claim anymore warranty (if you still have it).

The important part is.... DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE TO 4.1.2, as it will mess up the KNOX flag, and so far as I read on google, once you downgrade (and if you succeeded), you won't be able to upgrade to any latest version anymore. So be ware of this mate.

If the file is .zip and u have to use cwm and twrp, yes u need a rooted device.

But if the file is .tar u can use odin and no need a rooted device.

But I believe instructions will be clearly stated by dr.ketan. I know how he works with his Rom. He is very detail even to a noob. U may ask on his thread he will welcome ur questions very well.

I have installed lot of custom ROMs on a lot of Samsung devices and no problem... But this time using my n7100 (after a 4.3 installation - Ditto 3) my phone doesn't connect to network so I can't make a call, even connect to internet, just using WIFI but it shows some signal, that is weird... I have read a lot and I can take this conclusion: I type *#06# and I see my EMEI and it is not 000000049 like buggeds one, so my EFS is working OK... But maybe the ROM doesn't support my region so that's why I don't get signal... Is this conclusion right?

Actually Im downloading an official ROM from www.sammobile.com to downgrade (selected country and operator too), this should be working? Still having 1 hour yet to finish the download.

By tether, I guess you mean using your phone signal for your pc? Try check if they have a bug for signing into google account, or try a factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
In TW rom, it might be due to modem problem, that's why you can't establish the connection on your GSM/LTE network. Or, the other possibility is APN setting. Try to check this.

I have never use CM based rom, so I have no idea whether it will be the same or not.

Sleepless ROMs Tryouts

My story is kind of similar:

Interested in Android 4.3 updated one month ago after root. Success! Little bit faster than the old 4.1.2 :good:

Thinking about Note 3 and give away the N2 after only one year I decided to search for Note3 features ported to my device and finally landed here on XDA, tried DN3 and Tigra but Ketan V3 took the price, worked perfect. :good:

Some days ago Ketan V5 caught my eye and the drama began:

First steps where OK and then attempts to "make things better"

First issue: "uids on the system are inconsistent you need to wipe your data partition"

I felt lucky (the only way to go on in that window) and went on into the system...

"android.process.media" "play store" "google.process" etc. were stopped,

my device invisible on the pc and so on :crying:

Wipe, Full Wipe, Reflash nothing worked really, only "Fix permissions" TWRP drew the system's inconsistency away, but not forever.

Tried another ROM to only be able to telephone, well, but there is no sound at all now.

Regaining access to my device over PC again, I thought Phoenix Rom would be perfect for me

Installation went as it should be, logged in and imagine: apps and media go nuts :rolleyes:

google process, android media, play store, gmail

Little windows pop up like crazy and close too fast to even read sometimes.

After installing per TWRP Slim JB Android 4.3.1 + gapps problems are not solved, but in fact clearer so far as all data is still on its place (file manager).

BUT there is still no sound for the incoming phonecall, no play store, no galery, no media...

I suppose that android can't find the data (tapping on ringtones in file manager sound as ever).

Somewhere, days ago, I read that the address for boot from the internal storage has changed concerning last updated bootloaders.

Could this be a reason?

But I think it is a long time advise in a way when u change a rom base version always advisable to do a super clean wipe of ur internal storage. It is always the best way to flash new base rom version.

sorry for starting a new thread but i have researched and tried everything i could before posting here.

i own a i777 and am located in india. recently i had a baby and my wife is at her mother's place with the baby. i use native 3g video calling daily to talk to them. the problem is, i have found only one rom (mystic glory- which is a great rom, thks to Mysticking)so far with "dialer with contacts" .i have been using this rom for last 6 months dd basis.

Now i would like to get myself some jellybeans on the phone. i had downloaded a lot of jb roms(i777, ported i777, tried hellraising i9100 roms) hoping to have native video calling....but no luck......couldnt successfully hellraise i9100 roms with the procedures mentioned in ported development forum.

i have also tried to install several respective "dialer with contacts" (respective meaning xxlsj, xwlpg, xwlpq etc) mods and .apk files using the method of puting them in system folder with solid explorer (followed exact steps descried in general forum to replace system apks) but no luck what so ever.

i cant even use dual booting, since mystic's rom is ics and there is no kernel (to the best of my knowledge) that can dual boot ics and jb together. so basically i m stuck with mystic glory (no disrespect to Mysticking or his rom which is superb for ics).

now my question is can somebody direct me in the right direction, and suggest a foolproof method to install "dialer with contatcs" on practically all roms so i can explore the treasure of roms developed by beautiful ppl of xda. i m not an expert yet, but i can follow proper directions very well. willing to learn and do basic programming if i have to.

Or even better if somebody can be so kind to develope a app like market app whick can be installed on any rom.

please help.

try youtube.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
I think most roms remove the video call feature because we can't use it in the US. You can try asking a rom developer to give you a cwm flashable file of the dialer with video call (if it originally had it).

Have you changed the IO Scheduler. sio setting does reduce lag substantially. Bfq is worst noop so so cfg not too bad. That's all I tried and ran for a day each so far. Smoothass governed.

No lag and everything is super smooth and responsive. No FCs either. I used peach for months and it was great, but I would never go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Bloodflame:
Unsure if this is merely a coincidence or maybe there's some substance to it, but I've noticed a lot less lag overall when using CWM as opposed to TWRP. It didn't seem to matter which ROM or which build, everything flashed with TWRP would have occasional laggy moments. Overall, the ROMs would run smooth, but then the phone would randomly just hit a 3-5 minute "I don't wanna do a damn thing" period, then as I'd tap stuff in frustration without any reaction from the phone, it would finally catch up and do a few random things all at once, sometimes even rebooting itself. I was getting angry, trying to figure out why it was happening so much all of a sudden. Then it hit me - the recovery was the only common denominator. The exact same ROMs would behave normally when flashed with CWM. Just an observation of my own experiences, anyway... So needless to say, I went back to CWM and haven't had any lag issues since. And yes, I always wipe /system /data and /cache more than once between each ROM flash, regardless of the recovery being used. It's an old habit, but at least it ensures a fresh slate to work with every time. I know it sounds strange, but maybe it's something that should be investigated further. I recall an issue with an older build of CM10 when it was flashed with CWM6 because of a compiling script. camcory was using CWM5.5 at the time. Now, the script was changed to prefer CWM6. This makes me believe there may actually be something recovery related, if not in the recovery itself, but maybe in the way ROMs are being compiled.
