[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
No have always been on MA7, the error is the same, says activation has failed, and has the same error code 1500

Flashing any other Roms and doing Nandroids work all fine, I simply can't update Profile, PRL updates fine. :cool:

I may flash the JellyBomb Rom over the weekend and see if it does the same, then if it still does it, then I will install the MC 2 base, then if still an issue, then I will restore my stock Rom, and see what happens. I have read this happening to few over at Android Forums, so I will see, it really is not a biggie, since the phone works fine, the only thing I can't do is update the Profile, and when I reboot everytime I get the handsfree activation, so I simply have to cancel and all is fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
I hear that Jelly Bomb will possibly fix the issues. I myself just thought it was a good idea to just start fresh. After doing the billard420 ROM then flashing the FTW Annihilation ROM I couldn't be happier. Phone is fast again and zero lag.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Alright, I will give it a shot on the weekend, I guess I can always flash a different theme if I have too, LOL'

Is the WiFi Hot spot working with that Rom

I also just tried to flash the MC2 Update Zip and it failed, so I make simply go back to my Stock Rooted Rom on the weekend, then flash the Update zip, then flash the other Roms back and see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
Ok I've been trying to get this on my phone for 2 days and can't do it. I've downloaded the file to my phone but don't know what to do next. My sister did it from her computer and everything looked like it was going well but when she pressed power home and volume. ... it actually did say install update and then it said update installed. .... but no new rom. What am I doing wrong? Especially if it said update installed successfully?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wineguy:
Silly questions, but:

1. Are you sure you're rooted?

2. Are you trying to install from a custom recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
Lol positive in rooted....

What is custom recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
There in lies ur answer twrp is a must before you do anthing and it also wouldnt hurt to read a lil bit on how to do all of this stuff you can mess ur phone up good..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
What is twrp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Androidaholic:
The recovery recommended most for touchwiz based roms. It is used to install the rom. With out Team wins recovery project or clockworkmod there is no rom flashing ! You need to read and do your research to learn ! That is how I learned all of this stuff. If you love Android you will enjoy learning if you don't you may as well leave your phone stock or get an I-Phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
You may already have a custom recovery... what method did you use to root? Actually, I think a more important question is are you sure you're ready to go forward with installing a custom ROM?

I'm not being condescending when I say there may be things you haven't considered here and rushing into things like this is well cautioned. You can brick your device and then you'd have bigger questions than custom recovery.

I'd like to recommend holding off on this for awhile until you've had a chance to review the root/unroot/unbrick methods and are fully comfortable. I remember the feeling that came with bricking my device for the first time some years ago and I wouldn't want to have anyone share that feeling.

If you're absolutely determined to go forward with this then at least watch the video instructions in the root threads and in the original post of this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
Ok I got you. I did the twrp recovery and the rom is on my sd card but it still won't install. Have no clue what I'm doing. Question though. .... I'm rooted. ... how can I go back to the recovery mode I had before downloading twrp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
If you really feel like you're ready to go forward then you can see my video instruction here

Props to billard412 on this!

I'd like to caution against being hasty in going forward right now but you seem determined so good luck... May the force be with you!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
Lol thanks. When you say going back to stock. .... do you mean the recovery mode that I had while being rooted? Because I would like to stay rooted

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

That's a great video but do I have to factory reset too? Will that un root my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
When you review billard412's thread you'll see you've got the option to stay rooted. Your question about recovery is answered there as well. Now, let me just say that your question about recovery here is just another reason for me to be leery of seeing you go forward with this. It really helps to underscore your unfamiliarity with this process. You are either very brave, very impatient, or very optimistic. Again, good luck to you. Just as a courtesy I might mention that it would be appropriate to click the thanks button on billard412's thread and possibly even make a small donation to his botanical fund if you can.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
You can see at 2:59 that TWRP opens a dialog to restore root before rebooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stanglifemike:
Dude, honestly you should hold off on going further until you've read an learned more about Android and how all of this stuff works! Not trying to be rude by saying this, but you don't seem to have a clue about what you're doing right now. Not knowing what you're doing and trying to flash roms and recoveries will more than likely lead to you screwing up your phone. I'm just trying to keep you from doing that, so I'm trying to help you out, not trying to be a prick.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
I absolutely have to agree with stanglifemike. Do yourself a favor, read and make some posts in the beginners guide for rooting you'll pick it up fast and you own your device so there's no need to rush.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
I think you guys are right lol. Thanks for all the great advice! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fins71:
I've been doing this for about 4 years now and my best advice is to read everything. I would read entire rom threads of a rom I was thinking about flashing. It gives you invaluable information about what the rom can/can't do, and if it's what you're looking for. Hopefully you like to read and enjoy android so it won't bore you to death. All the answers you need are usually asked and answered in every thread. Search YouTube also. Chances are someone has posted a how to video on whatever it is you're looking for. Take notes. Be real sure of the steps. Once you figure it out you'll see it's not real hard, just stick to steps listed by the developer and you should be good. People will always help you out around here, but try and search and read the answers. It's more satisfying figuring it out on my own has been my experience. Good luck to you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
Thanks so much I will. And I think part of my problem is maybe I don't have enough space on my card
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
It's just under 960Mb but you'll wanna make a backup too which will take up at least that much also...Do some reading and exploring and think about clearing some space. We'll still be here to help when you're really ready. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
Well. ....lol....I cleared some space alright. Wiped my phone and rom still didn't apply so now I'm back to basic factory.....:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
What recovery are you using? I suggest you try a twrp 2.5.0. Once installed do this. Make sure the rom (my preference) is stored on you external sd card. Next wipe cache/ delvic cache/ system/data 4 times.. Then format data. Once done reflash the rom. Let it boot completly and settle for at least 10 minutes before you start using your phone, other than the initial set up..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beeutiful37:
But I'm not rooted anymore
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Simple, use the toolkit and root again ;) and make sure you flash the TWRP recovery during the process
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] krobinso2295:
Just flashed this rom today, and right away I was prompted with a screen saying system update available. I know that since I am rooted I should not do OTA updates from Samsung or Google; or maybe this is something else where I am supposed to accept this update. If not, how do I get rid of this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
It's not going to hurt you to take the update no matter if it's from Sprint or Samsung. If it's Sprint then the update will simply fail. If it's Samsung then no problem.

If it's a Sprint update then the notice will come up again and you can go here to get rid of it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442207

I've been on this ROM since forever...It's a keeper for sure. I hope that helps sort that out for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blane73:
Quick question. Is there a way to get the menu/home/return buttons on the screen with this ROM? I see it on random screen shots but I dont know if those people are using 4.2 etc... thanks

Since this thread is on the dead side I installed pie control for now. Any help with the doc bar would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
It would be helpful if you could link the screenshots you're talking about. I've included a screenshot here...If this is what you're referring to then the answer to your question is yes. This is called LMT. It is available for rooted devices and happens to be included in this ROM. I have come to rely heavily on LMT and consider it to be essential. You can learn more about it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

If you were talking about something else then a link to the screenshots you were mentioning would certainly help to identify it for you and get you going in the right direction. I hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blane73:
Ok here is a sample. Please help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
It's not part of the ROM. This could be any number of things. Could be a ROM, mod, tweak, widget, UCCW, Tasker, Kernel, or even launcher actions with a black background (that last one isn't very likely since it would only be present on the home screen in that case). There's always more than one way to skin a cat so if you're determined to have this it's not that hard to do. If you want a ROM that includes it there a several that do. Hope that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blane73:
It does help but what I was wondering or trying to figure out was if anyone knew of a way to get those 3 touch screen buttons to work on this ROM, which I love so much.

Heys guys, quick question with limited internet, I'm on vacation in South Carolina and noticed where I am staying I have full signal strength in my phone, but I am not able to make a call out, just keeps saying dialing, then I get a fast busy signal. I am still on MA 7 and using PRL 2006, would changing to a different PRL help to allow for my calls to go out, any suggestions on what to do and the process as I am limited to the internet here.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

okay let's make it simple

On the Galaxy Note II you need to eliminate all roaming guards..check all roaming settings...and your roaming network selection is either "home" or "auto"...select auto...If you've done all this and still have the prob then you're gonna need to follow the QBKing video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIB-VAWfcCs and be sure to click the like on that ....he made that one out of pure goodness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:

Today I powered down my phone to swap out a battery and when it was completely off (phone vibrated and lights went out) I swapped to a full battery and started up. Now I cannot get past the Powered by Mackentosh splash screen. It just sits there. I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache and fixing permissions but nothing fixes it. I still need to get some data off the phone itself (was actually getting ready to do this, but just not today)...any thoughts on how to get the splash screen back.

Important NOTE: My SD card died on my and I rma'ed it with Sandisk. Replacement will be here Wednesday, but till then I do not have an sd card to utilize.

How do I fix this? If I can't, how do I access the data, I can browse it in recovery but I only think that means I can edit/delete stuff, not transfer it.
