Is anyone facing any issues with unexpected reboot on flashing and rooting the new rom version DMC3. I did not install the pre rooted one but installed the official rom and then rooted it and after rooting performed a factory reset too. However I am now noticing that the phone reboots unexpectedly . It has although not happened frequently but yes I have noticed it twice. The same issue was not on the previous rom as the same applications are installed and the same running applications are present.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
No I have no issue and I am on same rom mc3.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] AskinSavascisi:
Ive tried to preroot stock rom , DMC3 for luxembourg.

ive done every step u instructed, really followed litterally each word of it.. everything went fine till i flashed the preroored.tar.md5 file tru odin..

odin says succesfull 1 / fail 0 but phone gots stuck on boot...

when i flash stock (non root) dmc3 lux it success's again and it boots =))

weird :/

maybe my su or superuser.apk has to do something ? :/ or the chmod? i dont know ive followed literally each word of it..

(http://androidsu.com/superuser/ <-- got it from here)

could u provide me your ext4_utils and superuser.apk + su??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I don't think issue is in supersu as permission I have said is same as I am using. I will send download link for ext 4 utility tomorrow morning, it's 1am here and file is there on my office pc
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Do one thing there is supersu link for root in philz recovery thread, get it from there, extract supersu and su from that cwm

Hello dr.ketan,

I followed your guide on how to make a pre-rooted rom. I just want to know if the below message is correct:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/sgn2$ ./ext4_utils/simg2img system.img newsys.img

computed crc32 of 0x5bdb3734, expected 0x00000000

Thank you for the guide.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
does newsys.img created ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zephyrus17:
Yes the newsys.img was created. I just continue following the guide and was successfully created a prerooted rom. Once again thank you for the guide.

Anyway I already have 32 bit Odin 3.04 and using the extracted file "prerooted.tar.md5", the Odin just hangs. I waited quite a long time, the Task Manager indicated that Odin is not responding.

Dr... I just upgraded from n7000 to a n7100 and about to root with your pre-rooted rom.

I know alot won't agree with me, but I like to do a wipe data after flashng any new rom

Is this safe to do on these pre rooted stock 4.1.2 roms?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] chery2k:
Yes its safe to do on 4.1.2 roms.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes, on note2 there is no wiping brick bug.

Here brick bug is there but only on 4.1.1

Benefit of wiping data !

Hi Doc. Thanks, I am now rooted. Wish you should have lighten it a bit. While you were at it, should have got rid of some of the bloatware.

As I am newbie, could you please enlighten me about the benefits of wiping data before or after rooting ? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Which applications to be consider a bloatware is varies individually so it is not in list of mine to remove in prerooted version, I will upload as it is so anyone can remove according their taste.

No need of wiping if everything is fine, if you feel lag then wipe.

New firmare update for Note 2

Hi Doc. I am using pre-rooted Stock Rom from page one. Now there is a new version update from Samsung for Note 2. Do you know what it is. Is it worth up dating, or should I wait for 4.2 firmware which is suppose to be released in the 3rd quarter.

If I choose to update this firmware, do I have to un root it first. Would you also be pre rooting this new Stock Rom as well. Thanks for your help.

Malaysia ROM

Hi Doc,

Any issues in using the Malaysian ROM (or any benefits) over the INU ROM posted above :confused: DMF2 appears to be more recent, but I am not sure if it can have modem issues. Vodafone 3G is already (on DMB2 INU) abysmal at my home and office, any deterioration and it will become a 2G phone! :(

Also in Settings -> Apps -> Syscope/ Ent. SysScope, I do not get an option to clear data or cache - so I did Force Stop on both. Successfully cleared both data and cache from TiBu but after reboot, the System shows as modified. Any further tricks that I can try?

Cheers and Respect!

RR
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
There is no issue using other countries rom

I am having Vodafone too and using latest posted in op. (dmf2)

Don't disable sysscope

Just wipe data with titanium

Hi Doc,

First of all thanks for preroted rom and guide.

I am thinking to use the preroted ROM (INDIA) on my new NOTE II GT N7100.

But before proceeding I will like to know.

1. Does this void warrenty? If yes, does getting warrenty back means "open SuperSu - settings - Full unroot"?

If I choose to update this firmware, do I have to un root it first?

a. If yes, then how to get back root after update?

b. If no , then does root access remains after update.?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
1 . having root voids warranty but prerooted rom doesn't raise flash counter so very easy to regain warranty, just unroot from supersu setting. (as you said)

Ota update is always weired and you can't predict anything. But most of cases you needs unroot and have to reroot again with same method as we do root device

(find all in one thread in my signature post#2)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ccaparli:
does flashing prerooted rom, changes download mode screen status to custom in any of 3 items?

also does it shows "modified" in settings?

Last questions, can these roms updateable by official OTA?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
It doesn't raise flash counter

Regarding status in download mode/setting, this prerooted rom have nothing to do, but having root on your device it can be modified later on, there is many guides available about how to make it official.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ccaparli:
Can we flash pre rooted rom over the stock one without wiping data?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yeah, prerooted rom won't wipe data. But i recommend to make backup of imp data before any kind of flashing (not just this prerooted) if anything go wrong and you may get bootloop and certain conditions needs factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hasni2005:
when trying to flash it it ask for PIT file

so where can i find it ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
You are doing something wrong

Post Your odin log here.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] spiderio:
Thanks for providing this for us

I'll try to download it..

it will take a long time with my internet connections
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ccaparli:
where can i find su binaries? or, Does pushing only supersu enough?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
you need not to find

After flashing ROM, just open SuperSU application from drawer, it will update if needs.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
MUST READ

MUST READ IF YOU FLASHING XXDMF2/ME6 OR later ROM

Latest built (DMF2/ME6) reported to have new kernel which modifies your EFS partition

So How does it affect?

-Once you flash said latest ROM, your EFS partition gets modified and previously built modem will no more work.

It means once you flash this latest built, you have to stick to latest modem at least. You can downgrade to older ROM but after flashing you won't have IMEI, b'coz older ROM (modem) can't read modified EFS. So in such cases flashing latest modem (attached here at end) will solve issue.

If you have old EFS backup (made prior to flashing said latest built) then you can restore it instead of latest modem also will solve issue.

Recommendation

I recommend again to make EFS backup prior to flashing latest built to keep possibilities to use older ROM and modem

As well Make EFS backup post flashing latest built.

Here is different method available to make EFS backup

- Backup from device itself

- Backup with ADB tools

- Philz recovery

Modem:

Here is modem(mf1) from ROM XXDMF2-XME

http://d-h.st/T4n

Extract zip will give you three files for recovery(recovery.tar.md5), Kernel(boot.tar.md5) and Modem(modem.tar.md5). [Here for purpose mentioned in this post you need only modem.tar.md5]

To flash modem, you can use PC/Mobile odin

For PC Odin, select file modem.tar.md5 for 'PHONE' tab

For Mobile odin select modem.tar.md5 for 'Modem' tab.

Hi Ketan

I gave the mobile in Samsung centre and they were unable to update the IMEI number saying that the versions in this wrong.

However I got a glimpse of what they are cheking and found that they are verifying the data by pressing *#1234#

Here are the details about in my phone :

AP: N7100XXDMC3

CP: N7100DDLK6

CSC : N7100ODDDMD1

after checking this he said that I flashed third party software and hence the issue and was saying that he would check with Samsung and check wether changing of motherboard would come under warranty or not as they are not able to update the IMEI (they were doing with Samsung Anyway BOX)

I didnt submit the phone fearing that I would lose the warranty.

Now can you help me out how to get it to the stock and make it appear as stock rom such that I can resubmit the phone and argue with them that I didnt update it with third party firmware.

BTB I didnt install the latest firmware yet ...will installing the new latest firmware will solev the IMEI issue ??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Your AP,CP and CSC suggest Your modem is still old

Download this

http://d-h.st/JxH

extract it and you will find three files. one will be modem.tar.md5

Flash that modem.tar.md5 files with PC Odin for 'Phone' tab (NOT PDA)

check if your IMEI returns

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
No, it's correctly flashed, now only efs backup will work.

Otherwise check flash counter and if it is 'no' send to service station, they have to update imei as your rom suggest complete indian rom.

Also try factory reset once.

You can try flashing pit. Rare chance there efs partition damaged and may get correct.

Thanks Dr.Ketan.

I bought my phone 3 months back, and I have used your DDLK6 pre rooted version so as to not lose warranty but also to have rooted (to remove unwanted apps).

As i have opted for auto update, the update got downloaded, but couldn't install mentioning - 'the phone was modified'. Every time i check for update the phone mentioned the update is available and allows me to download, but couldn't install to the pre-rooted ROM. Is this the intended behaviour?

Also i felt my battery was draining more than it should (as mine is a pretty new phone) in the past 2 months after installing the pre-rooted ROM. Especailly at night when i used to have <3-5% drainage, after this pre-rooted ROM i got some 15-20% drainage. So could you confirm if rooting will in a way drain the battery?
