that is the correct kernel for MA7

there is no need to flash kernels seperately. the modified one is in the rom.

the kernel is not a bit off. garwynns kernel has been modified/updated by him so the build number is going to be different. the version number isnt going to change between the kernels listed in the op because they are the same kernel. one just has init.d support.

the one in the odex has the same version number as the deodex as do the kernels that are listed separately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adanedhels:
ooo

oh don't get me wrong im trying to help by doing the one technical thing I can do well (as I program like crap) I test. T3 was kind enough to get the ROM up I want to make sure it's working right. Considering I don't know how this should look I need clarification. I'm now thinking the kernel install file isnt working and am wondering if the modem file is either (though I dont know off hand how to check if it installed). I figure if I could build something like this I would want to know if something might not be working.

The ROM itself is solid. Works well and no crashes. BUT the firmware might not be installing right...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
the first stock rooted base works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
no clue. im not it an lte area so i couldnt test but the modem should be fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
Nice. Time to get crackin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adanedhels:
Interesting I was thinking the kernel number should match the post for http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146385&page=2 down posts you should see the posted picture of the finished update the kernel number in that picture is 3.0.31-903705 and the modification date on that is 2013. So i was trying to figure that out. Thanks for the info man and the hard work!

Ok. I am not 100% sure what I am looking at.

the first 2 I am pretty sure I get. odex or deodex. complete roms stock rooted right.

NOW the second set of two.

Modem. do I need this? is it included with the odex/deodex or do I need this as well?

All In One ma7 to ljc. what is this? whats it for? whats it do? Do I need it?

last one. kernels. do I need either? is it included with odex/deodex? or is this just if you want init d support and stock if you want to go back to stock from modified?

thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nibrwr:
Modem: not included with the ROM. If you want to upgrade your modem, download and flash.

AIO MA7 to LJC: downgrade.

Kernel: stock MA7 is included in the ROM. If you want the customized kernel, or just want the stock by itself, there you go.

what's the difference between firmware and modem? If i'm flashing a MA7 rom, do I need to flash to the MA7 firmware and MA7 modem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
it is recommended that you be on the ma7 firmware if running an ma7 rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
What about the modem thing is that needed to be flashed also?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
hmm, i may have stuck the wrong one in the zip files. let me check again. but below is a screenshot of my phone after applying the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
not necessarily. its just the newest modem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
Yep ive tried a 4th flash and no LTE. When cdma/lte/evdo is selected there is no data but when cdma only is selected the phone reboots and it shows 3g...automatic setting gets no data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flak:
The kernel may be an opps, I went back to stock, got the update and have the same version from the pick in Adanedhels link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
hmm...........does that even happen with the ma5 modem?

anyone else having this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mackentosh:
MA5 MultiApps Mod also works with MA7 for you curious people
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
Yes sir....also I noticed it does the upgrading thing at 1st boot which I never saw on lk8 or ma5 and after i powered it off i did the volum down+home+power and it went into odin download mode and I have twrp. Other than that it was working fine for me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
Well that's wierd ive tried odex and deodex and I get the same results....did you flash this or did you do the other upgrade by rolling to ljc stock then taking it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adanedhels:
T3,

Yeah i was thinking it was an older kernel. That was my old kernel from before onmLJC thats why it threw me the date needs to change to show it was modified this year otherwise i think its good old LJC kernel.

Hope that helps and good job man everything else works great.

Thanks again,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pongoface:
No lte here. But been having the similar problem. On all modems. Whenever I am on lte/cdma I get no data. If I toggle the data it will come back. But if I switch to wifi and back to mobile data I lose data again. Toggle mobile data and it's back. If I set wireless network to cdma or auto my phone goes to evdo network and runs fine. I thought it was a tower issue but the wife's stock s3 is fine.

I even ##72786# the phone to no avail. Getting ready to bring it back to stock so I can have sprint look at it.

Never been so frustrated. I've done everything I can think of.

I swear it has to be a tower issue. In Fairport NY, I used to get 300kbps. The past week, 3g speeds are as high as 1.1 mbps. In Webster NY, went from 400kbps to 2.4mbps on 3g. I believe lte is around the corner.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
Well I am a newbie at this also but I do believe the modem is the radio.. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will answer

I hope so cuz i dont want to flash something that im not sure of. Granted these guys/girls have been doing this for a while now but coming from my tiny ogevo to this is really got me confused. Oh and by the way cherylbaker saw a few days ago that you built your own ROM..CONGRATS. I was in the works on one for the ogevo but got this phone instead . Maybe we could collab on one if you want to....no biggie if not! Just trying to make sense of what i need to download flash and what not.

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------

My ? is that if I dl the newest L900PAMA7 ROM and flash this to my phone...just the link in the op...DO I NEED TO FLASH ANYTHING ELSE? Running ...obviously Macks newest ROM..LJC , do I need to go back to stock unrooted or can i just flash the MA7 update..do i need the modem flash....IM JUST CONFUSED!!!!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
Ha ha ha your the second person who had said that. .I dunno where it is coming from but I haven't actually built a rom yet. .working on it yes. . Made changes and it flashed on my phone but that's s far cry from building a rom ha ha

In the op of some thread (perhaps this one) there are zips to flash for different things. You might just want to wait for a one click. I flashed the new kernel just fur fun. . I am a little concerned at this time about battery life. . Perhaps it is just the Constant use new software fun :)

Before you flash the rom you need to update your base to ma7. Also if you fish macks rom you are no longer running an ma7 rom so you will not have whatever features or bug fixes are in it.

Just checked my baseband...still says ljc...what do I need to do first. Already flashed the MA7 rom and it says my rom is ma7 but baseband is still ljc?

Is the MA7 MODEM the baseband I need to flash first before the ROM ... like I said I already have the MA7 ROM on my phone ... but baseband is still ljC . GEEZ I hate being a noob all over again !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtm_stretch:
Here is some help:

I know it says you must already be on MA7 Firmware to flash but I was successful flashing from MA5, just make a back up and if something goes wrong, restore it. Hell, I didn't even wipe. I am not sure how firmware version will be relevant to flashing system + data + boot.img and I didn't see anything in the updater script that would cause issues if you weren't. If you are switching between deodex/odexed and you don't wipe you will have issues.

Modem = Radio (there is no NV/PRI in Samsung phones) Baseband = Modem

Firmware in the sense that T3 is using it, means Modem + Sboot + Tz, Firmware does not equal rom (really system image + data)

I am hesitant to flash a newer Sboot files because in the past you would lose the ability to reset the flash count and I have never seen ill effects. I have no idea what the Tz file does, nor have I seen an answer. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the Tz file has something to do with LTE(or maybe international versions) because some people are having issues once updating. For example, the ones who lose LTE didn't go from OTA MA7 to Deodex/odexed MA7 (like the OP says) so they never got they updated Tz file (just a hunch, I could be wrong). You can be one whatever firmware versions you want but I just can't imagine Samsung/sprint would have the latest versions be worse than older ones but people have mixed results.

Kernel is pretty self-explanatory. You can use which ever one you want, just try to stay within the android version (4.1.2).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] faceless:
ok, so i flashed this and everything seems to be working well... but did Samsung not add the 1 finger expand/contract on the notifications like stock google 4.1.2 has?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
So basically just stay with the ljc baseband on the ma7 rom? As long as everything works fine? Thanks again...I'm just learning and all my ?s may seem to be a nuisance, but I just want to understand what I'm doing/reading. So if my ?s seem redundant I apologize. :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtm_stretch:
That is your choice it is not relevant to the version you are on. I prefer to stay on the newest modem(baseband), some people report having different data speeds with different modems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
So if I choose to flash the newest modem and im already on ma7 do I need to re flash the rom too, or just the baseband?

And if my speeds/signal are bad with new modem...can I go back to the ljc baseband?

Also...do I just wipe cache/dalvik to flash just the modem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
You can flash the modem at any point but its always recommended to flash the modem that matches that version.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

The tz/LTE connection is probably true...I havent been able to find info on the tz file. Since I am one of the ones that loses LTE im going to say the safest way to keep LTE would then be roll back to ljc do the update to ma7 then you get the sboot/tz/modem root then flash this or just wait until T3 or someone else pulls the tibits then flash and lte should be back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adanedhels:
Guys I hate to say this but I have a feeling that some of the radio glitches you are having might be because you updated to Ma5 or LK8 beta software before the official release
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Doubt it, you shouldn't spread stuff unless you know for sure.

I ran constant Team Sextape leaks on my epic touch, and never had issues.

I would bet the people with issues didn't take the ota first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
Yea Im I just did the Rom and modem because I saw a cpl people had issues going back after rolling back then updating. I was just going to put a zip together and install the tz and see if that fixes the lte connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adanedhels:
I'm talking from experience on a previous phone. Don't get defensive here you forget sometimes the leaked software has differences from the official releases, such as where different files are written.

Now from my previous conversation with t3 you might want to try installing garwynns kernel to make sure that isn't the issue.

Also there are posts from people in this thread who have used this update and are running lte just fine. This isn't magic and its not sextapes fault you install leaked software at your own risk. I had to completely rebuild my evo3d when I did that, and I will and have never done so again. Sometimes updates are dead ends and there is no going back only completely rebuilding. ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] austinbrady:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
If you didnt do the update from LJC to MA7 you wont have lte....youll have 3g/1x if you switch from cdma/lte/evdo to cdma only. What I did was use Billards LJC restore flashed the root zip and booted it up installed voodoo root keep and backed up root then reboot into recovery install update (cant remember who had that idea) zip and youll be on MA7 then you can install twrp from goomanager and then install 1 of T3s MA7 rom and youll be good.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flak:
My "weird" issues with MA7 (happens with the official OTA as well) is my phone will randomly drop out of service (voice and data). Reboot was fixing it most times, other times I had to go through activation to get service back and that only worked through my airvana.

So I flashed back to LJC and then to MA5 and that's where I sit now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
So what your saying is that even tho I am running a stock rooted deodexed ma7 rom with the ma7 modem and garwynns latest ma7 kernel ,without flashing the update zip, I'm not running the true ma7 update? Kinda lost after reading this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
You can flash ma7 rom, modem and kernel and it will work but the stuff like sboot and tz file are not included from what I can see which is why I think some of us have had lte connection issues. People that have done the update to ma7 from ljc from what I see havent had issues. Confusing yes but if you are experiencing lte issues then id say roll back to ljc then do the update. I did 4 seperate flashes using the odex and dedox roms with the modem and swapped out kernels/modem and no lte but rolled back then did the update and flashed this rom and now i have lte.Someone with more knowledge on the tidbits like tz feel free to weigh in :thumbup:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Thats cool...also read somewhere that someone thought connectivity issues for some were due to those being on the pre released leaked versions (ma5, lk8) and trying to rollback to stock ljc then just flashing the updated rom, kernel, modem...I THINK...I could be mistaken tho! Wouldn't be the first time! Just ask the gf...lol! !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Yea I dont think he had any proof to that claim, it was a opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adanedhels:
Yeah I was floating a theory for someone who was a programmer to test. I don't have the equipment or know how to test the theory.

I was basing the idea on a previous experience I had with a leak for the HTC evo3d I had. That problem ended up being due to the type of issue I conjectured was happening here. That being the weird way the leak modified the system and radio files meant there was no way to move to the update instead you had to start from scratch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Ok wasn't sure...sorry bout that

Edit: So eHRPD is lte right? I live in a small rural town so I never even got to use 4g with my EVO OG...maybe once but that was in Cincinnati...like 2 1/2 3 hours away!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Natedog1:
I think eHRPD is enhanced 3g but I may be wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Yes you are probably running on ljc instead of ma7 versions of some or all of the firmware parts.
