Thanks for the quick reply. I guess i'd have to stick to 4.3 then. Would you know a 4.3 firmware file which has pit as well? The kind that wipes everything? I think that's what i need at this point.

Man all this talk about Knox is crazy. I haven't been using Samsung at all lately, seems like they made it a lot more complicated now. Boo samsung!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
sorry, that firmware you are looking for, I'm not too familiar. Need to search first.

You can also search it at samfirmware if you want a stock firmware for 4.3 :) Wipe ? you can do it manually after flashing the ROM.

yeah KNOX is crazy, I agree. Took me few months to decide to root my Note 3 due to this issue. Too many posts which are confusing about this thing.

BTW, if you still want to stick with root + custom ROM, you can just find other custom ROM that you want. + before you flash the new custom ROM, you can go ahead and find zoot's script. Then you can wipe everything clearly with this script,and flash your new custom ROM. guarantee your internal SD will be cleaned to the azz. :p
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiroPrinz8:
Yeah will have to search for that. Not sure though if it's available.

I agree it is confusing. :confused: looks like i have a LOT of reading to do. :p

Thanks for the advice. Will search for that script. :)

Are you using the original charger?

Try another one. Sounds like an incompatible charger. Ive had that happen on my previous phones when i use a cheap charger.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonus1:
Or change micro usb connector if necessary. It's quite cheap and easy to do. I first had little problems with charging before it won't charge at all, changed it and all went well.

Need help on Samsung GT-N7105

Greetings fellow Android Users! Hope you are doing fine wherever you are. I have been following this forum for quite sometime now and decided to write this because i am in need of help. I am new to android having changed from blackberry a few months back and decided to get the Galaxy Note II GT-N7105. For the past few weeks, i have been thinking whether or not to root my phone to get better customisation of your device but is afraid of tripping the warranty with KNOX. I would not think twice if i surpassed my warranty period but i've only gotten this phone for about 5 months and it really got me thinking. I am residing in HongKong now and purchased my phone from there. I did some research on this forum and came across this thread: " http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2618261 " and would like to ask a few questions regarding this matter.

Here are the details of my phone:

Model No : GT-N7105

Android Version : 4.3

Baseband version : N7105ZHEML1

Build Number : JSS15J.N7105ZHUENA1

I want to know if any of you GT-N7105 (Hong Kong Phones or any other) users have successfully rooted your device without Tripping KNOX, hence does not void the warranty, using the method on the thread i posted above or any other method? And also, If you have successfully rooted your device, do you recommend installing a custom recovery like Philz Touch in order for you to flash a Rom? But.. i have read somewhere that Flashing a rom will trigger your KNOX? Lastly, will you be able to also update the latest software from OTA (Samsung official) if they released it? Or you have to manually do that? I appreciate your time reading this and i hope you guys can help me. Have a nice day. Cheers! :good:

Flash Phoenix on a device running already flashed Rom

Hi, thanks for the availability for helping people here!

And i would like, in a preventive way, to look for some help.

I´ve got a Galaxy Note 2 N7100 on witch I flashed an android 4.3 rom, wich was adapted from the Note 3 android.

My doubt is what should I do to flash the Phoenix v.17 on my device. If I hadn´t flashed a custom Rom on it, it would be just following the instructions found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060389).

But as I did, i feel insecure on how to proceed, wich steps to take.

I thank in advance if you can help.

full wipe needed from 4.4 leak based rom to official 4.4 release based rom?

(this is my question and not related to the answer i give to the problem below, please answer ^_^ )

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

first make an efs backup to a safe place if not done yet.

Preferably do a full backup as well (phoenix even has the option in their installer) or as I do it, backup all relevant apps with titanium backup to external sd (not gonna touch that for rom installation)

What did you flash before and what bootloader are you on? (this shows version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sysinfo.sysinfo.sysinfo )

If you have an old bootloader flash mj5 with odin (see pheonix thread instructions)

Then just proceed with the instructions in the thread.

Hi Ice Te, thanks for the answer. I name here the TAR file I flashed: AP_N7100XXUEM16_CP_N7100XXEM16_CSC_N7100XAEM16_BY_WVAZ_DINK

And the bootloader says in the Phone Info app N7100UBDMA3. I don´t know whther it´s an old or new bootloader. Another thing i can tell about my phone is that when I dial *#1234# SuperSU pops up and says i have KNOX and asks to remove KNOX, witch I haven´t done. Should I?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiroPrinz8:
Hi there Guys, I hope you could shed light on the issue I had.

So i got this phone used and it is already running dr. Ketan's V6 ROM, mk4 and mj9 modem. And it had serious issues.

1. Everytime I lock device or device goes to sleep it does not wake up (sleep of death i think) and I had to reboot to get the device working again.

2. Bluetooth won't turn on.

Now after A LOT of reading i finally was able to fix the phone. Here's what i did.

1. Flashed stock MK4 from sammobile. Reboot and i had emergency calls only issue. BUT this resolved bluetooth and sleep of death issue.

2. Flashed TWRP and Root file via odin.

3. Flashed patched mk4 kernel and patched mj9 modem via TWRP. This resolved emergency calls only issue but broke wifi.

4. Flashed wifi patch fix via odin, phone reboot to recovery, reboot phone from recovery and still no wifi.

5. Flashed mj5 bootloader in Odin to try fix wifi but failed in odin (unsupported version)

6. Found a post that already had a backed up lkm_sec_info file from another instruction. Copy/paste to system and boom! Wifi is now working!!

After all this I had this annoying Knox notifications. I updated supersu and after update supersu asked to disable knox and i clicked yes and no more knox notifications.

So now i have a fully working bug free stock rooted MK4 rom.

I have a few questions that i hope i could get answers to so i can fully understand why this issue happened.

1. Does all n7100 have emergency call only issue when on 4.3..? Why?

2. What do you think caused the sleep of death issue? (Im thinking the previous owner flashed patched mj9 modem without flashing patched mk4 kernel, or vice versa. i may be wrong though)

3. Can i still flash other roms or i am now only able to flash mk4 based roms because i always have to flash patched mk4 kernel to get mobile network?

I hope i made sense. And thanks for reading. I'll be grateful to get an answer. :)

P.S. i posted this question as well on dr.ketans thread as the rom it was running before was his. Thought to post it here too as this is a more appropriate thread i think.

Unnable to Wipe data.

Well...

To install a KitKat based Rom we need a updated recovery method, right? I did not know that, so i tried to flash a couple of times with my old recovery with no results. So, after i downloaded a new version of the Philz touch (version 6) to finally install the damn rom, my cellphone became incredible unstable. No rom flashed, nothing... Just the recovery caused the instability. It was a ****ing nightmare to downgraded everything, i was forced to use Odin to flash a stock rom trough him to recover my phone, SD apparently corrupted, etc....

After the nightmare, the cellphone becomes stable again and the SD working normally again... But with one detail: My ID "chip" is not working anymore (i dont know his name in other countries, in my country we just called him "Chip". The chip where is registred your number, location, the communication companny etc). I dont know if is something corrupted with the internal memory... or something related to Kernel... I dont know, man!

Maybe a full wipe could do the trick? Then i also noticed that the wipe function dont work anymore. The data/mounted function, to be more specificaly.

Every time i try to do a full/factory wipe, the screen freezes. Even with the Zoot wipe scripts.... These scripts dont ever failed with me until now, the mega wipe function is not working!

So the main question is: Can i wipe everything using a program like the Odin? Using something from the "outside"? Because trough recovery its impossible, i tried both TWRP and the clockwork with no avail. Every time the screen freezes and the internal data is never deleted. I need the phone completely wiped to have some work space! Besides, if someone could show to me a method to turn the phone back to the complete stock/factory state (withou custom recoveries, unrooted, etc... You know, just like samsung delivered) that would be great! I did so many experiments in the Note 2 that i grow tired of it, really.. Its so frustrating =/

I'm desperate! Someone can help me? Seriusly, a phone who cant receive/made calls is not a phone =(

[MENTION=5771511]GleenCross[/MENTION] flash an MK4 stock rom via odin. You will have emergency calls only. Root it and install recovery. After that download the patched mk4 kernel and patched mj9 modem and flash them too. After which you should have mobile network working. Search for the thread emergency calls only issue, you will find both patched kernel and modem there.. I cant link you right now as im on my phone.

Just put ur sd card in a computer and add ur favorite ROM on it. Then put it back in the phone.

Go into cwm, flash the ROM (from sdcard1 I believe) , and that's it, no?

1st Time User

Hi, I just bought my new Note 2 yesterday and Im absolutely thrilled about it. I wanted the original Note 2, but since the phone is already almost phased out, only units for the LTE version was left. Also, my phone comes preloaded with android version 4.3

My questions:

Is LTE version really worse on battery as compared to the original?

If I dont use data connection at all (only wifi), and set data to GSM mode only, will the difference in battery consumption be the same?

Does version 4.3 (specifically if it comes at default) decrease performance and battery efficiency?

Thanks for the answers guys!

Help Please !

hi,

i got the international note 2. Now the model number shown in settings is GT-N7100. this should mean that phone is carrier free but when i boot it up, it shows the AT&T logo and it is filled with AT&T bloatware that cannot be uninstalled. i couldnt figure out what this meant so decided to restore it to stock firmware for international note 2.

At the start of process, when i enter device into download mode, the model number it shows on this screen is SGH 1317. question is how can it have two model numbers.. please help me with this.. which is the true model number of this device , SGH 1317 or GT N7100.

also, regardless of model number, is it ok to install stock firmware for international note 2 on my device?

please help . thankyou.

P.S the model number written on the device's box is also GT-N7100, same as in settings > about device.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

1. It'll be worse on batterybif you actaully use LTE.

2. Pretty much yes it should be the same.

3. This one's pretty tricky. It depends on the user. Im using stock rom and im not complaining sbout the battery. It doesn't lag and i can play my games so im satisfied.

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

1. Open up the phone and see what model it shows on the back. If that doesn't

2. Google any differences (chipset cosmetics etc) the intl note 2 and the at&t note 2 has and check.

3. DO NOT FLASH STOCK ROM IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT MODEL YOU HAVE. You'll end up bricking your device if you flash the wrong one.

There are a couple of things that might be your problem.

1. The owner gave you an at&t phone and placed it in an intl box. Or vice versa.

2. IF, again. IF there is np difference between the at&t note and the intl one, and you do have the intl one, then the previous owner may have flashed the wrong stock rom on it reason for the bloatware.

Search and read up. Good luck. ;)

Battery Consumption

Does poor signal heavily affect battery?

Cell Standy has already consumed 24% of the total drained, time without signal is 44%

Media Server is also quite high at 13% (Music at 5%)

(Media Server 23 mins awake, Music 18 mins awake)

My phone has been off charger for 5 hrs already and is still at 92%, so I guess it isnt too bad.

poor signal will affect heavily, especially when you use auto network (if you have LTE device)

Media server => depends on how many media files at your phone. the more you have, the higher usage when it re-scan the things.

Okay now it's getting weird. I can't even install AOSP roms anymore! I tried TWRP, PhilZ and CWM but now all I got is an error at recovery stating "E: error executing updater binary in zip". I tried probably 10 different roms, all AOSP(Kitkat). I tried sideloading(adb), install from ext, int and OTG but every time this error occurs. The file can't be broken, I tried so many different ones. I also edited the assert part out of the update-script but that didn't do a damn thing.

My only option now is to go back to the very stock and use it without root(yeah I have problems with that too), and... that's not fun! :D

There's probably something really broken in my system... I'll try the stock once more and if that doesn't change things, I'm gonna be stuck with it... Unrooted, sigh.I shouldn't be the biggest noob out here, but man I've never encountered so many problems with a single device. Had this sort of problems with S2 but they were quickly fixed...
