Updated and flashed deodexed and modem... I'm not too sure I wanna run a custom rom anymore. My battery life has never been this good before! Either way thanks a million to the op. You're contributions to android and this community are very much appreciated

This works in any roms?

Hi just wanna know if this works in any rom currently im running 4.5 cleanrom ace (4.1.2) but im thinking to go back to pacman rom(4.2.2) first time doing this flashing kernel and modem... Do i need to flash both? Kernel and modem? Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stretchwookie:
but i was getting those today and i havent even flashed the new modem yet. running PA3.0+, no apn changes. are you actually getting the lte icon to show up? if not, how can you tell for sure you are on lte? lol im trying to figure out if i can get it on mine. really dont wanna go back to stock rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cwalker0906:
You can tell by the upload speeds

Ah good call. I was only getting 2-5 up. My download speeds matched though. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Hax:
May I ask how many hours of screentime you about average on the stock deodexed ROM? I've been looking for the stockest ROM with the best battery life and usually custom roms on other phones have the best battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tomasitoc:
I am on Jedi master 12, I flashed MB4 modem on post#1.

I am unable to get the 4G LTE signal, Although I get the 4G signal. I think it slowed down abit.

I live just ~ 10 miles from San Jose. I should be getting the 4G LTE signal.

Am I doing something wrong?

The Jedi master 12 rom, has the 4G LTE enabled in the setting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Hax:
Do you have the correct APN?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tomasitoc:
The APN = T-mobile US LTE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Hax:
Then you might just be out of luck for signal. Have you gotten LTE where you live before?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Hax:
Is 55 minutes of screentime with 80% of battery left with a crappy LTE signal good/normal? I haven't even hardly installed any apps yet. Does turning LTE on or off really make that big a difference in regards to battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] daredevil061305:
Re: [-::STOCK::-] SGH-T889 Factory Images, Roms, Kernels, & Modems (Updated 03/18/13)

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

And after flashing should it say lte in the network area in settings?

Re: [-::STOCK::-] SGH-T889 Factory Images, Roms, Kernels, & Modems (Updated 03/18/13)

I've seen averages from anywhere between 4-6 hours. I get about 2-3 hours of screen on time but I have full brightness, gps on, sync on all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Hax:
So my battery life is pretty normal given the circumstances (crap LTE signal)

Newbie... wanting to make sure upgrade steps are correct...

There are a lot of nice people on this thread. I'm currently on a T889 4.1.1 factory rooted ROM. I installed Busybox, SuperSU, Mobile Odin, and Titanium Backup.

I want to make sure I upgrade to 4.1.2 as easily and safely as possible; keeping all my apps and respective settings that I currently have now.

I see a few posts say that you will keep your "data"; however, I'm not sure if that means all my apps will be intact or not. Would I still need to restore all apps and settings using Titanium backup? Anyway, here's my best guess on the all the steps I need to do for a full upgrade. Please correct me if if something isn't right in the steps below; especially, if there's a way to simplify it even more:

1. Backup all apps using Titanium Backup

2. Install 4.1.2 Odexed ROM (for best performance.. not interested in customization) using Mobile Odin

3. Install Kernel. I would like to install Perseus Kernel... that's what I'm using now on 4.1.1. using Mobile Odin

4. Install Modem using Mobile Odin

5. Restore all apps and settings using Titanium Backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3dpott3r:
The only issue I see that may pop up is

5. Restore all apps and settings using Titanium Backup

You have to remember that your system is being upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4 1.2. It's not a huge jump but, could lead to issues. Best way to find out is try though :D if something doesn't seem right after the flash then do a full wipe and restore only apps (not system apps or data) and start from scratch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkanet:
Thanks for the quick reply. Does that mean that all my apps and settings should still be there after the upgrade... similar to if I had just upgraded from an unrooted factory 4.1.1 rom to unrooted factory 4.1.2 rom using tmobile's update?

Edit: Also, I'm presuming that the 4.1.2 firmware includes the original stock Tmobile wifi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] TerrorCandii:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] TerrorCandii:
Does anyone have the APN settings from prior to the MB4 update? Wanted to see if until I get LTE in my area(New Jersey), if going back settings wise, would take stress off my battery. Since going back to stock, I feel as though the battery isn't as good. Slightly more draw, but I don't remember it being this bad.... but not uber bad.... per say.

Bug: 4.1.2: Press Home button on wake sometimes launches task manager?!

Has anyone noticed the bug where when you press the Home Button to wake the screen, sometimes the task manager is launched about a second later? It seems to affect not only Tmobile factory rooted ROM, but also Sprint as well. I'm hoping someone much smarter than me has figured out a way to manually patch this bug. I've seen misc posts about this; but, since it affects multiple carriers, there's no single post for this that I could find.

Getting an md5 mismatch on the mb4 factory images. Several dl's and different machines
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
yeah I get this a lot. I think because most people set there lock screen to kick in immediately when the screen shuts off, they don't notice it. I keep my lock screen off at home which is when I notice the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brian117:
EDIT2: Okay it's working now in Odin v1.85.

For those having problems with invalid md5 via Odin, just remove the .md5 in the file name so that it ends in .tar. It works in Odin v1.85 and not Odin v3.07.

When you remove the .md5 it will skip the verification and start flashing. But be careful this can be dangerous. So make sure you're downloading the correct thing for the correct device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
quick question, wondering what files i use for odin. i extracted the tar.md5 files and now i dont know which ones to specifically for which sections. i have:

boot.img

cache.img

hidden.img

system.img

tz.img

recovery.img

sboot.bin

modem.bin

which ones do i put in the following categories:

Bootloader:

PDA:

Phone:

CSC:

if anyone can clarify this for me it would sooooo helpful. THANKS IN ADVANCE

---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

nvm, i took the .md5 extension off and flashed it using one file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starkruzr:
I am currently on rooted, otherwise-stock, non-LTE T-Mobile ROM. So, my upgrade path to get LTE is:

Use TWRP/CWM:

No wipe,

Flash deodexed ROM,

Flash kernel,

Flash radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zen0s:
Hello, this probably is noob question and sorry for my ignorance. I'm interested in customizing theme so I have downloaded Deodexed rom Teshxx posted so my question is could I flash this deodexed on top of current odexed and vice versa to go back to odexed?? Also, do deodexed roms really cause decrease in performance? Currently on 4.1.2 stock-rooted odexed using mrRobinson's method.

Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
So, if a new ROM is uploaded here, all I have to do is flash it over my current stock ROM and everything will be preserved? Would I flash the odexed or Deodexed version? Wipe anything else besides cache/davlik cache?

AND - If I use Odin to install the image, will it also reset the flash counter in addition to losing root and data? My flash counter refuses to reset even after using Triangle Away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shane1diamond:
if you want to stay rooted, and upgrade to the newest ota w/ lte your best bet is just to odin flash mr robinsons root66 stock factory image with root injected. simple as is gets. youll get everything in one flash rom,root,radio, with everything still in place ie data. good to go!

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

1.yes 2. i personally have never noticed any decrease/increase in performance with using either odex or deodexed roms. its just easier to theme/tweak when you are using a deodexed rom from my experience.

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

1. yes 2. its up to you, what are you wanting to do? 3.just wipe cache/dalvik as stated in OP :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mscion:
Hi. Just a few questions to make sure I do things properly. I am currently on the latest odexed version (BMB4), rooted, LTE, with philz recovery. I need the deodexed version to do some additional mods but still stay somewhat close to stock..

1) Will I need to flash the kernal and modem at this point?

2) My current backups are in /sdcard/clockwordmod/backup. If I flash the deodexed version will this wipe this directory as I may want to revert to previous version. That is, is /sdcard mounted separate from rom?

3) Once I flash deodexed rom will I need to wipe cache and dalvik cache?

4) Also, generally speaking, is flashing the rom roughly equivalent to doing a restore via CWM.

Thanks!

EDIT: Checking this thread I found some answers and I'm trying to generalize (please correct if I'm wrong as I am trying to understand)

2) /sdcard is mounted separately and will not be touched by flashing rom.

3) wipe cache and dalvik cache because these contain remnants of builds from previous rom that may interfere with new one. These directorys are mounted separately from rom and not touched when flashing rom. These can be rebuilt again if one returns to previous rom

EDIT:Went ahead and flashed the deodexed version. Quite painless and original set up was preserved. Did not flash kernal or modem. Thanks teshxx for providing files and making it so easy! Have now made several mods I couldn't do with odexed version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Thanks for the answers. To answer your number 2, I just want to update to whatever T-Mobile sends out without modding anything to stay on a completely stock ROM, so I would flash the odexed version, and then newest kernel, modem, then wipe cache/davlik?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shane1diamond:
Your welcome, Yes if all you want to do is stay updated with whatever Tmobile puts out just follow the steps you mentioned. or you can look out for Mr. Robinsons thread in this same section it is stickied, he usually is kicking out the latest updates and creates an odin flashable zip. (for use in odin) that you can flash that flashes everything in one go gives you root, odexed rom and preserves all user data. Both methods work great as i have used them both. hope that helps :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Yep, helps a ton, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aardvark502:
I flashed stock rooted and WiFi won't turn on any help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JB910:
Won't turn on or won't connect? If it won't connect, just reset your router, this happens to me time to time after flashing a new rom. If wifi itself won't turn on, I am not sure what the problem is, I would reflash. Make sure you do a clean install.

Im gonna attempt making my own rom, with floating windows and all... but, what I want to know is if I really need a "close to stock" rom, or can I use one of the roms here as my base? Example: Jedi of some sort.... (of course I would ask permission)... I just dont want to cause System UI issues later on..cause I tried the patch (for floating windows ) on "Tweaked"... but it gives me a System UI FC.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah I'm not surprise on that one - that mod requires things to he not-so modified... and yeah... I like to tinker :)

That being said - one could iron out such bugs really, it just takes time and patience. It might not work on Jedi either due to the toggle mod, but I could be wrong.

So I flashed the Factory Image in Odin, and once it was done, I still had everything on it. It did a dirty flash? Has this happened to anyone else?

Hey man, I had the same issues. I had to follow this post to get it to recover.

If your computer can detect your phone in ADB mode your golden with that little piece of software. I was not so lucky. I ended up having to install PDAnet (old school, I know) for it to install an ADB driver that worked. Once the phone was detected in adb that software was able to unlock the hidden menu. From there, basically just follow the directions in the post.

I have a buddy with an ATT note 2 and he just swapped over to T-mobile (smart choice) everything is working on his device (phone, text data etc.) However I wonder if it possible to flash this firmware and make it a completely T-mo unit ( i assume i'd still have to change a few network settings. But is it safe/possible and what if anything would i need to change? I apologize ahead of time if I'm posting in the wrong section. I've used and flash on my GS3 many times the pre-rooted tar/odin files and just wonder is I can do this.

By the way the phone is currently unlocked

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] TerrorCandii:
Hmmm...sweet, I wonder what has changed. Still 4.1.2, but might help with the LTE as well. I get LTE now, where I live, but not far, then pops back up further down the road. Any fixes, I don't see a changelog, unless I'm going blind, Lol.

You have to use the rom for at least 3 days (charges/discharges) for you to make a educated guess on battery drain. Using it for a few hours doesn't mean anything.
