[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Okay, so I've been on Tmobile since taking the dive into the wonderful world of Android. I had the S2 for a few months and thdn after becoming infatuated I went out and got me an S3. Recently I decided to move on to Sprint as the coverage I received at work was, well, nonexistent. So, I am completely new to CDMA and my beautiful new Note 2, and after reading through the forums I've discovered that I am bout back to square one. Well, maybe not entirely, but definitely been knocked back quite a bit. Which when considering I've only been involved in the xda community for about 9 months pretty much leaves me with the feeling that I'm stuck in Paris with no map and no translator. So, I was hoping I could reach out to the wise and informed members of xda and ask a broad, but simple, question. What do I need to know so I don't F up my new mistress? I'm not asking for a tutorial on rooting or flashing, nothing generic. Just some helpful specifics. I saw somewhere that they were talking about resetting Wallet before flashing a new ROM or else it may be blocked on the phone, I guess, forever. I'm also unfamiliar with the modems and the updates yall have gotten. Etc, etc. And as I said, not looking for another, what is the benefit of rooting, what is CWM and TWRP, can I get rid of all the darned Sprint apps baloney. I was just hoping to basically just kinda do a crash course intro, a CDMA and/or L900 101 kinda thing so to speak. Any info you can offer up would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
The worst part about the android community, unfortunately, is the fragmentation of general knowledge. The rooting process for a Nexus is probably identical to a Note 2 but the names of everything and builds and versions are all different, so you have to learn new 'words' like it is a new language. Fortunately you have a great community so you just have to learn how to search for things. Check the general section for android development I think there is a sticky that has a glossory of terms that explains all the acronyms.

I've had mine for 3 months but I would still welcome a crash course as well.

Well I prefer twrp as my custom recovery. Depending on your firmware version you can root without your phone ever going to download mode. I did. I used exynos abuse to get root. Then used mobile odin to flash a new rom. Always reset google wallet if you are reseting or flashing a new rom. Its tempermental. I would stay around only the sprint veraion for now. There is a way to use roms from other note 2 variants. I believe its in the dev section. Recovery is standalone. So swirching roms doesnt change it. You cannot talk on the phone and be on the internet at the same time unless you are using wifi or 4glte. If you like to draw or doodle there is sketchbook mobile which is awesome. Btw ma7 is the most current firmware that I know of. Also you can sideload the google wallet apk with no extra work to get it working. Goodluck and read alot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tpeef:
You need root to do most modifications to your phone. I find that I need root for everyday stuff too (Titanium backup, Stweaks, Root app delete, etc).

ClockWork Mod and TeamWin Recovery Project. Both have custom recovery pieces. I personally had some troubles with CWM on this phone and just use Odin now. I head TWRP works better than CWM on the Note 2, but Odin is the Tool Samsung suggests. Note that TWRP is MUCH more feature-rich than Odin. You might choose TWRP (or CWM) if you wanted to flash stuff from your SD card rather than from your PC- good for jumping around between kernels on the fly, for example.

Odin and the other two are all ways to flash stuff to your phone. That's all Odin does; the other two have lots more features.

Heck yeah! Simplest way is to root it and uninstall everything you don't like (Root App Delete from the Play Store seems to work pretty well; be sure you have a backup before you start blowing stuff away).

If you'd like to take it a step further, get a custom ROM that's been debloated; they normally require a full wipe, so bye bye sprint stuff. (Again, root it and back it up first!)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
I appreciate you taking the time to go through all that, but I think maybe I didn't explain too well what I was trying to get. I wasn't asking for the general info, just things specific to CDMA and the L900. Like what was replying about. Not trying to be a jerk, but I know there's already a thousand threads on recoverys, ROMs, and rooting. Just didn't wanna do anything to my phone that would be irreversible (i.e. The resetting Google Wallet thing) or something that would cause signal issues (I read stuff on flashing certain ROMs on certain modems may create issues). Stuff like that. Like I said though appreciate the time you took, and any info you may have like that would certainly be appreciated.

Oh I forgot. If you are on ljc expect to not go back to it if you update to ma7. For some reason lots of people have had trouble going back. It would cause slot of problems. Ma7 is just fine for me though. Great battery life and what not. I would say do the update. If you are going custom rom and are currently unrooted just do the ota. Or there is a firmware file around here to flash. I updated firmware before going to ma7. Although I was already rooted using exynos abuse. Ma7 eliminates the exploit. So be prepared to do that before going to ma7. If there is anything I am missing that you still need answers to or don't understand just ask. Its also a good habit to update profile and prl when switching roms or modems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
I picked up something along those lines from reading around. It took all of 15 minutes out of the box before I got all rooted with new ROMs being flashed after playing around on stock just to get a baseline with all the ROM hoping that was sure to follow. Needless to say I didn't read up on anything modem wise before doing all this as I, admittedly, jumped the gun a little (I was just so excited to have a whole new community with new dev teams and all these foreign ROMs to explore). I used Max's trusty galaxynote2root site to root (love that guy). And used the GalaxyNote2RootSprint.zip to obtain root. Then, went straight into the original development section and immediately flashed the absolutely amazing Liquid Smooth. Now I should say, I did receive a message saying the was an update to the phone through sprint and I did proceed with the OTA while dling the zip and giving root instructions a quick once over. So, I'm guessing that took care of going to ma7 for me? Cuz I'm definitely using the ma7 modem. Now I did leave my beloved aosp as I did want to see if I would actually use all the S pen features that aosp sadly doesn't offer us. I jumped around from Whapasaurous to Venom Ice a d finally to Macks All Star, but I'm assuming that unless it's totally different from GSM that flashing a new ROM has no effect on your modem (but by all means correct me if I'm wrong). So just wanna make sure I went about things the right way here.

P. S. I did use the zip to revert the sd cards file format when returning from aosp so I didn't have to deal with all that "0" and "legacy" nonsense.

Thanks again!

P.P.S. I don't really seem to have any data issues so I'm guessing all is well, but I am having an issue where my wifi keeps turning itself on, like multiple times a day. I thought at first I may have been accidently hitting it, but upon further review, nope, not me. Sounds more like a ROM issue to me though, but as it seems like it may pertain I figured I'd bring it up

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
I think you should have stayed with Tmobile and there 70 dollar unlimited because in a few months to a year you would have had lte and hspa+42 &21 as a fall back before you went to slow data. Im making the jump slowly but surely. My wife is getting the S4 on Tmobile and when the note3 comes out ill be going as well im sick of cdma amd the slow data when there is no LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] PoD_Hazard:
Sprint Connection Optimizer will do that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
You need to turn off sprint connection optimizer in setting more settings I believe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
I really only made the move due to the fact that T-mobile is the only service provider that gets absolutely no coverage inside my work, and, unfortunately, I work 12 hour days, 4-5 days a week. So, being as my contract was up, I didn't wanna sign up for 2 more years with lte "coming soon." I know you all with Sprint know how that has the possibility of turning out. Plus, just because they were getting lte doesn't mean I'm going to see any improvement at work. Now I'm getting consistent 3g inside work and I'm loving it. Actually typing this inside, infamously, the worst service area in the entire building and still getting an almost constant connection. Occasionally I am getting 4g, not often, but it's happened. Playing around with modems tonight though. Did end up trying LJC after being on MA7,no problems so far, actually seeing improvement. Thanks for the heads up on the Sprint Connection Optimizer, gonna check that out now. Super annoying, especially as I do work 12 hour shifts and with wifi turning randomly on, don't wanna look to see my battery down to nada. That's just the kinda info I was hoping to get here, thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
Yeah the wifi thing Will kill your battery. Sprint is not as bad as everyone thinks and says I have great LTE in 90% of where I go. I'm thinking of going to T-Mobile because I'm sick of cdma devices we are always are considered last ro none over GSM. If sprint keeps up the good work with the LtE and 3g ill be saying. Glad you hot it figured out for rh the most part.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsTerminus:
So this is my latest fun issue.

I am Canadian, and currently roaming in Boston, MA.

I have two phones at home: My SGS2 running CM10.1, and a Nokia C6 test device for work. The night before leaving for Boston, I put the SIM from my C6 into my SGS2 and made sure everything worked - it did. I have done this on two previous occasions, once in 2011 (Vegas) and once in 2012 (Miami). Both times have worked without issue.

This time, however, I ran into trouble as soon as I crossed the border into the US. Trying to connect to AT&T returns, "Your SIM Card does not allow a connection to this network".

I have tried:

- Rebooting the phone.

- Pulling the battery and SIM for up to 20 minutes at a time

- Upgrading my ROM to a more recent version

- Reprovisioning my phone (I work for my carrier)

- Using the debug menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to toggle the radio off and on, and switch network modes

- Toggling data/roaming, toggling auto-sync

Tomorrow I am going to call AT&T in case they blacklisted my IMEI or something.

Unfortunately I do not have my C6 or the SIM from my SGS2 with me, so I can't swap devices and try again.

The debug menu verifies that I do have a signal, and a SIM Info app verifies that the phone is reading the correct IMSI, ICCID, and IMEI. And like I said, it was working in Canada until the moment I crossed the border into the US.

Does anybody have anything else I can try?

AndyBones's - Bounty hunter - pledge funds to Enable "Blocking Mode" flushable MOD

I have challenged AndyBones to create a flashable MOD to enable "Blocking Mode" on VZW SCH-I535 "Galaxy S3" phones.

Pledge funds here to add to the Bounty!

I started the Bounty fund with a $20 pledge. Add your pledge here. Wouldn't you like to have "Blocking Mode" on VZW phones just like all other US and foreign carriers?

Details are in my OP here: (post #142 in this thread)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2196666&page=15

Bounty to date: $20

I don't see any way to fix $151 to $15 above - selection of that amount will add $15, NOT $151!

Re: AndyBones's - Bounty hunter - pledge funds to Enable "Blocking Mode" flushable M

I've had this working I'm a crude way. Fully functional. Just not done with code. Just moving pieces together. You need the Lidroid 23 toggles to make it happen nicely. Because of it not being In the code, the option isn't there in settings, the reason the Lidroid toggles make it nice. On code level, I don't know what makes it work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I know this isn't a fix..

but I figured u guys can at least use it while I try and find something.

Using the app QuickShortcutMaker, you can search for “blocking mode” and then create a shortcut on your home screen that will give you never-ending access to Blocking Mode

I have NO idea if it works yet, prob not, but just something I found
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
How about $5 or $3 to get the ball rolling?

Well, that's kind of my point, I have gotten it halfway working using some of the currently available workarounds and kludges. I feel sure that if Andy has a real incentive to get it working, he can cobble together the necessary code to 'unearth" the feature that VZW decided we didn't need, even though it's available in all the other carriers' phones. The code is in there, but VerizonWireless - in their infinite wisdom - decided we didn't need it. The fact that the kludges get it almost functional, it's in there. It's just disabled.

Isn't it worth even a couple of dollars to you to get it working? $5 here or even $3 times 50 adds up to enough to make it worth spending several long nights beating the code into submission. We've gotten Google "Wallet" working in my phone, at least. I just think the community should make it worth his time. I'm sure he spends enough time with his family looking at the back of his head. 'Been there, done that' - burned the to shirt. I spent 7 years developing a "shareware" program back in the 80's, when that was in fashion, only to have someone write a keygen program to steal my $10 for life contribution for a program that worked 100% even without it.

Can't you help get the ball rolling by adding $5 or even $3 to the kitty? I understand that people think everything should be free these days. I still have my wife of 40 years, but I would give my soul to have one more day with our son that was killed by a drunk driver three weeks before he was to be the valedictorian for his high school class. You can't put a price on that. I spent the first 7 years of his life with my back turned to my family working on that code, only to have someone kang my work. I'd give ANYTHING to have just one more day with my son...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Oh, I've tried it. It sort of works, but just having a toggle in the "lidroid" package to turn it on and off would be a whole lot cleaner, and even an add-on "system" apk, like lidroid has would work for me. I just want to be able to use that feature that was even in the writeup on VZW for the last ICS OTA update, only for us poor SCH-I535 users to find that it was MIA on our phones. AT&T users have it, T-mo users have it, I9300 users have it...

Can't be hidden that deep, really. I'm sure you'll run into the reason VZW decided to disable it to our phones, but obviously it can be enabled!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbreen94:
This is also available in a number of roms for the s3 also bud! I have the option for blocking mode in my rom control and im pretty sure its in the settings of several other roms! Just an fyi :)

well if you have it working, mind sharing how, full credit will be given to you, and no bounty collected by me.

it only sticks for like 90 days though.

SynergyRom have blocking mode

iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple VZW GSIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
it looks like a number of ROMs have it, as mentioned above it's in his ROM, and in Bean's ROM, and Synergy I know has it, I feel bad collecting a bounty for something already done, so I'll try and figure out how it's done, hopefully a dev who already has it will help and full credit will go to them, and no bounty will be collected by me.

BUT, synergy is using files form 4.1.1, so porting it to 4.1.2 may be different, also the guy who said he has it above his ROM isn't updated to 4.1.2 yet, only bean's ROM has full 4.1.2 .apks and has the MOD.

I'm not saying those other DEVs can't do it, I'm just saying the code may be different..

I'm going to talk with Bean's see if he will help giving him full credit, and if bounty $ does come in we will split it 50/50
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbreen94:
It seems to work the same on 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 for me now. It seems like it is in the settings, you just have to make it show in settings. I'm not sure if it is related to have the 23 toggles installed, but i dont think. Pm me and ill give you the string to add to your settings to give you access to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
thanks brother!

you and beans will be given the credit for pointing me in the right direction

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Good news guys, many thanks to Beans, and Sbreen for letting me know where and how to enable it in settings.apk but it still wasn't showing.

I couldn't figure this out, at first I thought it was the lidroid toggle MOD, so I adopted the 23 MOD and still no go.

So I thought a little harder, and started to think why would it work for ATT but not VZW when the code is there and enabled? well, there is a feature.xml file found in System/csc -- that needed to be edited as well to tell the system that the code that I just enabled for blocking mode is allowed to show up.

sure enough, after editing the feature.xml, rebooted, and pushed the edited Settings.apk and all is well :)

Tested it out by trying the block call and that is working so I assume everything else is as well :)

Credit goes to Beans, Sbreen and myself

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

thread can be closed/deleted now.

MOD is actually quite simple, now that I know what to edit, all credit for the settings.apk edits goes to beans and sbreen

Getting ready to do my very first root on my Razr Maxx XT912.

Currently running 4.0.4

Should I OTA to JB then root, or root from ICS or does it really matter?

Any benefits or downsides to either?

Thanks,

Jeff
[Motorola Droid RAZR] civicstyle01:
Update to latest then root although not sure about motorolas boot loader unlock method xda will help ya out
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jdsingle76:
You might get more support on XDA if you stay on ICS, esp if the jb OTA just came online. I personally don't think there's all that much benefit, you can always do your prl, profile, update, once you root anyway. But if you want to flash a custom jb ROM, all the ones I've flashed require you to flash a stock one first. Then if that's the case, then yeah, def ota to jb so you have it already when you flag a custom jb.good luck. Read read read before you root!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jwc553911:
Well went to JB before root. Then found out they did away with speed dial. I loved speed dial! Anyway everything works out great. Thanks those that replied.

there is no '0' folder. when i mount USB storage from TWRP, I can see HTC Storage and when I open the folder, I see all my files, no '0' folder?

Please help!! Do I have to flash the ROM first?

Well then problem solved......

Copy the viper rom to it and start flashing and installing

So I Have to flash the ROM first?

Please explain in deatil mate, i am a noob at such things..... :silly:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Copy the rom to the sdcard, open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img from it to the fastboot folder.

Put the phone in the bootloader and flash the boot.img. unhook the cable and go into the recovery. Make a full wipe and install the rom
[HTC One X] athulele:
What about the data in the SD card??

When mounted on the computer there is no '0' folder. But on the phone I see sdcard0. The method in the CM10.1 thread also doesn't work.

It says " can't cd to /sdcard/0/"
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Its a mirror of the system of some kind. Dont worry to much about it, just mount the sdcard in the recovery and copy the rom.zip to the root of the sdcard.
[HTC One X] athulele:
So no need of moving the data?

Just flash the ROM and I'm am done?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
If its not there when you mount it in the recovery there is not much to move ;)
