@ sagadx

First off, are you in Italy? If not, you should have the standard 4.1.2 firmware instead, mate. As far as I can see in the SamMobile Firmwares List, only Italy has 4.1.1 while the rest are all up to 4.1.2.

Secondly, when you say turn off, do you mean Powers Off (switches off completely & you need to switch it back on again using the Power Button on the side which requires a minute or two) or do you mean Locks Down (only the screen switches off after a short period of time & it takes seconds to switch on again via lockscreen).

If it is the latter (lockscreen), then it's simply a matter of going to Settings > Display > Scrolling down to Screen Timeout and changing it to a longer period of time (I have it to 2 minutes. If you don't want it to turn off at all, you can set it to the maximum of 10 minutes). If, however, it is the former (powers down), unfortunately I do not know how I can help you there. That sounds like it may be a hardware-related problem.

Hey, if I helped, press the Thanks button down below... Not sure why I would want that, but that sounds like something I want...

A long time ago (roughly 4 days), I asked a question of my own... Though it is yet still unanswered, here I am trying to help others... ... ... I have no idea what I'm doing... (Chemistry Dog Meme)

S note missing after flashing Omega ROM V12 on SGN2 n7100

HI,

I installed your OMEGA ROM and loved every bit of it.

this was my first time rooting and flashing all by myself.

everything went smoothly, but samsung apps store and SNOTE was missing, i re installed Samsung apps from an apk that i found on 4shared, but

when i tried to do the same for SNOTE , it installs fine, but doesnt launch,

I am using

Samsung Galaxy Note 2, N7100

i am running Omega v12.

i used Odin 1.85 to root my fone with clockwork recovery

I have not installed any kernel by myself, if the kernel was changed during rooting process i am not aware of that, or if the kernel was changed during flashing OMEGA ROM, i dont kno.

I am sorry i am new to this,

If you could give me an apk or tell me how to get it back, i would be really grateful,

I have to use Snote for my work, and today i am not able to work, but i love your ROM and want to use it,

Please let me kno if it is possible to install any stable version of SNOTE on my phone.

:confused:

Kernel version : 3.0.31-679347 SE.INFRA@SEP-126#1

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfinityFTW:
Download another stock based ROM, like ARHD. Open up the zip file with winRar/7Zip. Then look in the /system/app folder. Find the snote apk. Copy it to your sdcard. Download ES file explorer, enable root mode, paste the apk into the /system/app folder on your device. Reboot, and finished!

If your phone came from Hong Kong, im sure that your phone is the International version which is the GT-N7100.

Try to reinstall OMEGA ROM but first do a Wipe/Factory Reset,Wipe Data Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache in recovery.

After that install the Custom ROM and reboot.

That will solve your problem.

hey guys good? so i am half busy last days and haveno time to search a good tutorial to install custom ROMs in my note 2 i am asking to point me the right topic and the best ROM is much? thanks very very thanks:good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
@ luan3232

I used this video to learn how to flash a ROM. As long as you're rooted and have CWM, it's a decent video that covers all the basics of flashing. Mind you, this uses Omega ROM as the example, but most other ROMs follow exactly the same technique.

As to the best ROM, that is question that is near impossible to answer. It relies on numerous factors, the major ones being the user of ROMs. First off, decide if you want Stock-like or Minimal or Completely Different. Then search a few ROMs of one of those categories. Read reviews, view images, even flash a few ROMs to see how you like it as that is the most important part. The only part we can help you with is tell you a little about the ROMs themselves. Once you come to settle upon a ROM that meets all your requirements, that's the best ROM.

Feck it, I'll just ask my first & only newb question in this here makeshift signature: How/Can you change the Carrier name shown on the N7100...?

two general questions

Hi

I have three general questions to which I was unable to find the answers:

1) Which app should I use to find an apk installation information (app and data names and the installation paths) ?

(To find the files and folders for the manual binding or transfer to SD).

2) Does exist a way to make a file binding (like it is for the folders in the "Directory Bind" application) ?

(It's to save space in Samsung devices where normal app transfer to Sd card is impossible)

3) Does exist a way (password protection ?) against ROM re-flashing (both by custom recovery and via Odin) ?

(It's for protection against thief)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
@ trubster

Well... That's a pretty open question... I mean there are numerous decent ROMs out there with built in Call Recording features and whatnot... It really depends on what kind of ROMs you like...

You mentioned your phone is a ROM virgin, thus I'm assuming you don't have any significant problems with the Stock ROM as it is... Thus, you might want to give Omega ROM a try. It has call recording amongst many other features which you might also like... And it's a pretty good ROM overall as well. So yeah... Something like that...Omega ROM.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

@ igoivo

1. ES File Explorer is a pretty solid app for such tasks. Speaking of which, Solid Explorer is pretty good too, but a paid app.

2. I'll be honest, I'm not too sure about file binding. Best to ask a more experienced member.

3. As far as I know, there does not or can not exist a custom recovery that can be password protected. For a more accurate opinion, I would ask the developer of whatever ROM you are using.

Note 2 downloading issues

Hi,

Everytime i download an excel file, it downloads with the extension .html. Than i am unable to open the file. it used to work fine a couple of weeks ago, so not sure why its doing it now. Can anyone help me with changing the setting back to what it should be??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
@ zafarsharif

Do you use a different browser to the Stock one or Chrome...? Perhaps, the excel files themselves are not actually saved in .xls format but simply a link to it. Maybe you are downloading only the link to the file and not the file itself. What if the app you normally use to view these types of files is not the default app any more. Check none of these are the case and then come back if there's still a problem... Otherwise I haven't a clue as to what sparked that sudden but inevitable betrayal by your phone...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igoivo:
Hi. Thank you very much for the answers. But:

1) I did not asked about file explorer, I have them. I asked how to extract the app info: the folder and file names of the app and its data - it is very difficult to find for some applications, although it's possible via Google for some apps.

2) It looks WM6 was a bit more advanced than Android from this point of view.

3) The custom recovery itself can be flashed. Thus, there is no security protection in Android. Moreover, only stock (3e) recovery wipes data automatically while flashing new ROM. Thus, CWM recovery is dangerous to use from the security point of view.

Rooting

I would recommend "Exynos Abuse" which works for all models with 4.1.1 OS

(i.e. does not work in 4.1.2).

Advantage is that

- no flashing is required at all,

- root/unroot is withing seconds,

- completely reversible,

- all remains to be stock.

I use it by myself on stock ROM with stock recovery.

So try this guide for people with exactly the same problem as you're facing now. Read through a few posts and follow the instructions. Let us know if you manage to own Barclays' ass.

Device offline after root, unable to unroot

Hello,

I have the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, and I'm having a bit of an issue. A few hours ago I went through the process of rooting and installing a custom recovery. Everything worked great, the device was successfully rooted, and installed custom ROMs without a problem. But I'm trying to unroot the device and get it back to stock everything, except the ToolKit I used (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923956) is no longer working.

I've done everything the exact same as I did the first time through. I've made sure that USB Debugging is on, and I have the notification icon present. But every single time I try to do something, the ToolKit either tells me the device is offline, or that it's waiting for me to turn on USB debugging. I have no idea what's going on, or why this has started happening, but it's preventing me from unrooting the device. (I'm returning it, so I have to get this done.) I've restarted the computer. I've restarted the GN2. I've turned USB debugging off and on more times than I can count. And I've even tried a different USB port. Nothing is working. It still says the device is offline.

If you could please help me get passed this, it would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, I'm returning the device, so I really need to get this back to stock. Thank you very much for your time.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjtk:
PC USB port can only supply up to 500mA, in fact sometimes it is limited to 100-200mA (usually happens when you have mulitple devices connected and it hits the upper current output limit). So if your phone is doing something while you are charging then you might see no increase in battery. In fact when I plugged in two devices to my laptop my phone battery actually decreases while charging. The usb adapter that comes with the note 2 charges at 2A.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igoivo:
Try "Exynos-Mem Bug Checker" app from Google play. If it will report that "the device is affected by the "exynos-mem" bug", then you are lucky and you still can get the root by using Exynos Abuse app from this site. One more time - no flashing is required, it's just a normal app, thanks to the bug in Samsung's processor. Just don't close the bug to make the root to be reversible. Look also for the corresponding thread at this site.

Custom ROM flashing

Hi,

I have a problem that I'm wondering if anyone else has had or is having at the moment. I'm new to the Android rooting scene after upgrading to the Note 2 N7100 from the iPhone in January. I flashed the Android Revolution HD ROM and Perseus Kernel with no problems but then I saw both the Vanilla Rootbox and the Carbon ROM distros. Initially I tried flashing Rootbox using TWRP after backing up and wiping System, Cache and Dalvik. Apparrently the flash was successful so I tried rebooting but when the Samsung GT-N7100 logo was displayed the screen flipped out and the logo shifted to the right but wrapped round the screen ("Sams" was on the right, "ung GT-N7100" was on the left if that makes sense) then the screen displayed a load of yellow lines and a solid yellow block on the bottom of the screen (kind of like hard resetting a ZX Spectrum in the 80's). This happened twice then screen went black, no backlight or any other kind of activity, just black. Eventually the touch sensitive Home and Back buttons would light up when pressed, but again still no other activity. I left it like that for a couple of hours but nothing happened. Luckily, I had backed everything up and when it was restored the phone booted into Android Revolution. Another attempt at flashing Rootbox resulted in the same situation, as did an attempt at Carbon ROM. Does anyone know if this is because I have Perseus as my Kernel? I did try NEAK but all that did was make the phone sit at the Carbon loading screen for a couple of hours. Is it because I'm using TWRP instead of CWM Recovery? I tried removing TWRP and installing CWM but that just made the screen spazz out when I tried to access recovery itself so I was unable to even restore from my backup. To cut a long story short (ish), I've returned the phone to a stock ROM and the only thing I've down now is root it and re-installed TWRP.

Any suggestions would be great as I'm totally confused as to why Android Revolution works but nothing else seems to.
