Uploading repack a and b :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Right....Finally!

http://apollyon-dev.com/note2/AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4_RePack_a.zip

MD5 B8A512DE9A1D60963C00F74B9BA8C6AA

That is v4 repacked with same kernel/modem

http://apollyon-dev.com/note2/AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4_RePack_b.zip

MD5 137720982E2D735319557A5B7C7BED13

That is repack with dme6 kernel modem

So... flash repack_a if you don't want the imei hassle of dme6 or are not currently using dme6/dmf2/dmg1 or flash repack_b if you don't care about imei issues or are currently on dme6/dmf2/dmg1

Same rules apply...back up with twrp and back up efs...

If coming straight from v4 no wipe flash should be ok, still flash through Rom Customizer

Repacks have fixed sysui, fixed sim pin change, dormant mode icon disable and finger ink added to custom settings :D

Edge zoom is still in custom settings but is not functional at the moment...

Enjoy!!

Hmm...wasn't aware we had one...will ask Comnam
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
I flashed V4 and my IMEI has revered to a fake number, and my handset has been barred from the network. I have tried everything to get it working again, but nothing has worked. I now have a very expensive brick. Just a warning to everyone else, backup EFS before flashing.

Maybe the first post could do with a bit more warning, and an auto EFS backup on flashing or something to avoid hundreds of people having this issue.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] santoosh:
Hi sparky

It was in the ota repo from v1.

It would work on the v3.1 also as an addon.

Wasn't bundled in the rom.

Here's a copy that works on mc3. If this may help you in anyway to get it working on v4

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Sorry to hear that you bricked you're device...but you can't blame no one but you for that. It reads clear enough in the OP and all over this in this thread.

People should learn to read.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
Talking of learning to read, please point out the part in my original post where I blamed someone.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dikkebas:
Sorry to read what happened to you and hoping you will be able to fix it.

What would you want to add to:

Although this firmware is DME6 it does not contain the kernel or modem that come with it. These have been replace by older versions to avoid loss of imei when rolling back to older firmware.

If you are already on dme6/dmf2/dmg1 etc install with Rom Customizer and unselect install with kernel and install with modem. This will stop you from having imei loss...

If on dmc3/dme1 or older install everything...​

How to install go HERE links to:

If you are on dme6 / dmf2 / dmg1 untick kernel and modem.

This will stop you from having imei loss...

If on dmc3/dme1 or older you can install with kernel and modem.​
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
A very clear warning that flashing this may corrupt your EFS partition and revert your IMEI number to a temporary. Together with a script for auto-EFS backup in the installer.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
And did i say that you are blaming someone specific?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
No, did I?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dikkebas:
This is going nowhere guys. Let's please try keep this thread clean.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
If you flashed v4, as you said, then it's not v4's fault. Because that version came on purpose with older safe kernel/modem, for users not to have network and imei problems. No DME6 ones. So maybe you had already some of the dme6/dmf1/dmg1 modem/kernel on your phone and when reverting to the ones in v4 maybe then you had this problem.

In case you were talking about v4 repack "b", that may caused that, but then it's your fault you didn't read, because Sparky clearly specified it has both modem/kernel that can cause problems if you want to revert to any previous modem/kernel and that you should have backed up. I myself chose that "b" version because I know I will be using this modem/kernel and won't go back to any previous ones... but I have an EFS backup up my sleeve, just in case.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
No. My post was not insult for you. It was my opinion about well known issue.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
Yes, possibly. In fact, I didn't notice the issue until I reverted back to a Nandroid of another ROM after trying Alliance for an hour or so.

What's with all the hostility from new forum members around here recently?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Guys...calm down!

Right...fill me in, what firware were you on before flashing? What repack did you flash, a or b? Did you do the requested back ups?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
I was on SlimRom v7. No idea which repack, the zip name was "AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4.zip".

I obviously didn't take an EFS backup.

I have tried everything here: http://www.alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/imei/ including flashing back to stock etc, but no change. I have a temporary IMEI 004999010640000, and the phone won't register on my network.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
Was my post hostile? I just tried to tell you what might have happened. Maybe you were referring to anyone else. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Ok, in my defence there are plenty of warnings regarding backing up efs...it's not my job to do everything for users...

Try reflashing slim rom...that's 4.2.2 un official firmware, might help restore your imei
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
Evening, folks. So I've been with Alliance for little old while and am looking to flash V4 soon enough (operating on V3.1 currently).

Having read a few of the prior pages, I have come to believe that the best option for myself would be to flash "Repack A" of V4, preferably through ROM customiser while wiping everything in the process to minimize issues (if I am, indeed, talking out of my rectum; please feel free to correct me). Of course, backing up EFS goes without saying.

My inquiry was if I am able to wipe the device clean through TWRP (factory reset, wipe (dalvik) cache & wipe internal storage) and then flash V4 Repack A through TWRP directly from an external SD card? Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the manual feel of wiping nigh on everything off my device before I flash a ROM of any sorts. Previously, I have flashed a wide variety of ROMs (Omega, Wanam, Slim Bean, Cyanogen etc) and every time I have followed through with procedure of wiping everything before flashing (even when updating between V3 & V3.1 of Alliance). By the luck of Zeus' left nut, I've never had problems with IMEI/EFS losses or modem incompatibilty or even kernel mismatch leading to perfect usage of my phone always. Which is just as well because, up until now, I've been an idiot enough to have never backed up my EFS (you could say I live life on the edge).

Moreover, having become slightly more educated in the Android world since then, I've decided I should probably back up my EFS sometime today while my phone is still functional and then think about flashing any more ROMs. Clearly, I've come to stick with Alliance for unmatched stability & the spot-on combination of customisations so I can personalise just right. Yet, I feel I should be a bit more cautious this time, hence the question: What would you do for a Klondike Bar?

Wait, no. My bad. Slip of the fingers. I meant, can I continue my traditional procedure with V4 A and have a functional phone at the end? Or is ROM Customiser the only way forward.

Cheers for taking the time to read this...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
Nope, doesn't help.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] passado:
The links of version 4 are not available for some reason?

I tried to install other ROMs but the only one that satisfies me is this, it is a pity not be updated to latest version of Android
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
What modem/kernel were you on before slim rom? Try to flash an official rom via Odin which contains the same modem/kernel.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
I've tried flashing stock and it didn't help.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
The Rom Customizer gives you the advantage of selecting what you want to flash. If you flash from recovery, everything that zip file contains will flash automatically. No problem while flashing this way too. You should go for the Rom Customizer, it does the same wipe and stuff.

You will have a functional rom coming from v 3.1, unless you changed its original modem/kernel. If you were using the stock DMC3 ones (3.1) there is no problem you should worry about. Have a backup anyway. If you played with those kernel/modem and installed some of the newer modem/kernel, I don't know what to say about backing up. The EFS partition may be corrupted already.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
You can wipe all in twrp and then flash from recovery but you won't get the install options. So it will be stock theme with all sammy and google apps. After boting simply reflash via Rom Customizer choosing what you do and don't want.

Repack_a is good for you if coming from v3.1, but make sure to back up efs and twrp back up

Press the toggle once, leave it until it changes...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Maybe ask in that thread?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
If it fixes the problems this rom is causing, it is very relevant to this thread.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Its not "this rom" its a combination of Samsung and people's inability to read an OP cos they think "ive flashed roms before. I know what im doing..." ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
It is not relevant...you broke your phone, not the rom

We'd be more than happy to help, but you gotta change your attitude....out of hundreds of downloads you're the only one to have messed their phone up...

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

remove external memory card and back up all that you don't want to loose....

open odin

click on pit, navigate to the download and click on file ending .pit make sure repartition is ticked

click on bootloader, add file with bootloader in title

click on pda, add file with code in title

click on phone, add file with modem in title

click on csc, add file with csc in title

on power menu reboot to download mode or power phone off and hold power/home/volume down

connect to pc with usb cable

when odin shows an id/com in box near top left press start
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the file I downloaded (first one on post No5) only has the following 8 files in the tar:

modem.bin

sboot.bin

boot.img

cache.img

hidden.img

recovery.img

system.img

tz.img

I tried flashing the entire tar via pda, but when the phone booted up the IMEI was still the same temporary number.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cris7ianO:
Flashed newest repack all went well awesome thx :thumbup:

Using it with dmg1 modem and kernel without any issues :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sri4xda:
Yes, you can flash any kernel latest version.

However make sure to have modems > **ME6, MF1 etc...

Seems like kernels are modifying efs which can only be read by newer modems starting ME6/ME4 and thus causing cell signal issues.

Read below thread to get more details on modem/kernel compatibility issues with ROMS > ME6.

Prefer to have latest kernel/modem so that all shall be in-tact.

There's the odin you need
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
Goddam you helpful people... All helpin' and stuff...

Cheers to you, Steff & Sparky, for the info. Still haven't gotten around to backing up EFS (working out how best to utilise TitaniumBackup to backup my user apps first. Then got distracted by Bad Piggies) but, as luck would have it, I don't think I've changed from the Stock Alliance kernel. "3.0.31-107124 se.infra@SEP-117 #1 SMP PREEMPT" doesn't sound/look like any kernel other than Stock. Let's hope my EFS isn't corrupted yet, eh?

Currently, I'm inclined to go through Sparky's method of my traditional approach followed by the snazzy Rom Customiser (previously I used to open the ROM through WinRar before and then delete components that I didn't need such as many of the fonts. I guess that's a thing of the past now.)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Modpack_a has same kernel as v3.1 ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] demajoor:

And i can't flash a custom kernel without losing imei?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
you are on one of the latest modems...

custom kernel should be ok

Back up first ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
All right, final few questions (hopefully).

So say I flashed V4 Pack A, updated flawlessly from V3.1, enjoyed a pop-tart... ... ... Can I flash a different kernel then? Or do you think I'll be risking my IMEI and best leave it as it. Because mum was always right: Don't change what's not broken...?

Waiting for anyone's opinion.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
i made the jump to repack_b and all is good, but i made the needed back ups to allow me to roll back if needed ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
Thanks. I tried to flash via Odin and get the following:

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/005> sboot.bin

<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/005> FAIL!

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

And now I get an error on the phone "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue", and it won't turn on at all. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
No download mode?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matheprat:
I can get it into download mode, but every time the factory flash fails. I re-flashed cwm and now it boots back to the previous ROM.

No, just back to where I was with a temporary imei. I can't seem to flash the 4 part image

Is there a setting i may have missed?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Read back a few pages. You should reflash with one of the re packs
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cris7ianO:
Of course i did that ^^ forget to mention... Did it with repack b...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Then post the dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz from data/log. Out of interest do you have a custom carrier name set?

No i dont use custom carrier Name...

Sry for noob question but how do i post it here?^^

Do me a favour and set a custom carrier. You can set it to your actual carrier if you really want.

Upload the dumpstate to some upload site like dropbox

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
thanks man, i couldnt see anything about sysui in there...will pass to Goldie to have a look... did you flash repack a or b?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
I flashed repack b this morning at work. Figured I'd see what the new modem was like, and since I have a tried and tested efs backup....

...and I ran into the old problem of the Alliance directory being read only. This of course caused the alliance theme to not take hold. In twrp I changed the perms of the folder to 777 as t-pip suggested previously when I ran into this problem with the backup tool, and now all is good. Reflashed and the theme is there.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't a fix for this issue in the repacks?

Edit: all flashes done were with a full wipe

2nd Edit: And yes, I realise I probably could have just flashed repack b over repack a without a wipe, or even just tracked down the modem itself. No biggie, I'm at work so don't really need my phone that operational for a while. With various backup tools (in the rom, TB) it isn't much effort at all.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] giangp1:
2G/3G/A still doesn't work. It doesn't change.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dirn1111:
Sparky b, What does the repack exactly fixes about sysui? because I have not experienced any issues or whatsoever with the first 4V of this rom.

its been already 4days and I had no difficulty. I am hesitating to reflash with the repack, because i don''t see the need of it.

I used odin 3.07 (as included in your zip), and tried with and without the pit, both failed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Vreestyle:
.

Wow, it seems some are in trouble of losing theit IMEI.

PLEASE PEOPLE READ THE OP, BEFORE FLASHING

BACK UP EFS, OR ELSE DO NOT COMPLAIN!

I went from 3.1 to previous v4 version (without finger ink) to Repack_a.

Both of the V4 versions I unticked Modem & Kernel. (cause DLK7 with Perseus works excellent for me)

Flashed the A-repack and I'm lovin it!!

So new firmware with old modem work great!!

I wait with updating modem & kernel untill Sammy comes with the 4.3 firmware.

Some people only want the newest of the newest, risking too much and blaming the devs.... :eek:

Was on Resurrection Remix(4.0.6) (4.2.2) and reverted back to Alliance because in need the S-note and such.

Please do not blame any of the devs, it your own phone your messin' around with.

And if you read, AND you know what you're doing big problems can be dodged.

Sparky and team keep it up.

Hope to see you develop Alliance-rom when sammy releases an 4.3 update!!

Thanks 4 an AWESOME ROM!!!

I took a DIVE..!

So i kept reading and hearing issues .. I Downloaded both the repacks...!

Flashed repack A using Rom Customizer .. Unticked Modem and Kernel.. and installation went about smooth.. Rebooted..and i was On my previous Modem MG1 and no imei loss.. Success..!

..

Flashed Repack B.. using TWRP wiped data..cache..dalvik..system.. Reboot.. and Now ME6 modem and connected to network like a charm..!

Just follow the op guys.. and read the last few pages anytime u install a rom.. It is the best you can do for yourslf and your device..!

And not be a headache for the Dev team.!!
