Hi.From Malaysia.

Just got my device yesterday.

Looking at OP I could not find the fw that im having at this moment.

Build# JZ054K.N7100 XXDMF2

Baseband N7100 DXDMF2

Kernel 3.0.31-1071214

se.infra@SEP-98#1

SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 7 10:46:58 KST 2013

Can I use some other or do I need to deodex the current fw.Which im not certain I will be able to do as I am not confident with computers.

Can anyone advice.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can use any country rom.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Out of the odexed and the deodexed which one is exactly like the official rom which we get from sammobile..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MBariya:
Odexed and Deodexed both are stock roms.

Deodexed roms are easy to customise who like theme modes.

Odexed version is exactly like sammobiles rom.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Thanks for the information, just a question i did read somewhere that out of the both one of the rom boots slower especially the first boot.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MBariya:
Odexed roms always loads apps faster then deodexed roms. But difference is very low, even you will not notice.

So i have my note II for almost a year now, and i really want to root now,

Just i've read so much stuff to past few days , that i honestly dont know which or what is best to root now and not sure anymore , that i wont be making any mistakes and ending up with a brick. i d love to flash the pre-rooted rom here from dr ketan.

so i attached 3 pics so maybe some one could point me in the right direction, ive been looking as well for country related rom but in kies it gives me (xxx) but when i dial *#1234# i get Lux , so again thnx in advance to point me in the rigth direction. Maybe its me :crying: maybe not , i rooted back ik the day dhd and things on a samsung look much more complicated:(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
If you don't have created any previous EFS backup and you have lost Product Code (your check fus showing it) then you can do nothing to get update on Kies. Read This

Probable you have to live with Odin. :(

Ypu can root your device, here is complete tutorial in post#2

OR

Simple download and flash prerooted ROM from this thread OP.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mac-devil:
Thnx for the fast response , i never did update thru Kies always OTA , never had root on this device , and as i read in several topics mostly EFS backup was made right after root, so this i could never have done, maybe an ota gona corru^pted , think i ll be going with your pre rooted roms since i can reverse at any time thru su .

does it matter which pre rooted rom i choose or just best to choose the latest india pre rooted rom dating july 13th?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
India prerooted is having latest mg1.

Regarding odexed /deodexed, you can have any. Deodexed is easy for modding while odexed is pure stock as it comes from Samsung but just pushed extra files in package which needs to root your device. You can anytime unroot from supersu setting to make it pure stock.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mac-devil:
thnx alot dokter will root later :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mac-devil:
There we go , device rooted , efs backup made , thnx Dr. K after all wasnt that big of deal thnx to you , cheers m8
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
my efs got modified to new format when i flashed mg1.

how can i make mc 3 work with proper signal without restoring my old efs back up ?

which kernel and modem should i choose ?

thanks doc !
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Use mg1, you can get it from my all in one thread post #6

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
actually, doc, id like to get mc 3 working without restoring efs partition,

with perseus kernel and me4 modem will i still have signal with mc 3 ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Once you had latest kernel and then if you move back to mc3 you will need to restore efs or have to use latest modem.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hendry:
I lost my IMEI after flashing latest ROM.. the only solution to bring my imei back, is to reflash with old official ROM.

i also tried to restore efs from previous backup, as what u advise us.. but still no luck..

reflash with old modem, it bring me with no signal and unknown baseband.

tried to reflash with other latest modem still same, imei 0049 and no network..

why did u say, the method u describe will work ? but why i'm no success ?

i think, something has changed in mmcblk0p3 partition or maybe it change permission to efs folder.. i have no idea now and got very frustated, flashing many rom and wasting my times.. :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Before asking me why did I said, why you not reading and searching?

Who told you flashing latest rom corrupt efs?

Who said flashing 'old' modem restore imei?

Who said you flashing old rom is only solution.

Your device is specially made by Samsung? We all have same partition.

Don't spam thread.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hendry:
i never spam this thread, but u said using latest ROM, it modify efs partition, so it no longer get network and losing IMEI.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rkkaranrk:
Main reason i asked you to flash that package coz its is prerooted and it does not raise counters, As for odex, deodex & zipaligned read the thread below it explains everything .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2200349
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kkapoorr:
Oh okay. I have already downloaded the odexed one. So was just curious.

And I knew about the prerooted rom, have already used it before.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Whenever you are upgrading, there is no issue - So yes, Directly.

All the packages available on OP are Prerooted

Odexed doesn't need to zip align, bcoz at least we can trust samsung for that :P

Odex version are untouched samsung rom except injecting root + busybox

Odex - bit faster

Deodexed - Easy to Mod, little slow loading on boot (but usually remains unnoticeable)

Where I can find the su and superuser.apk files? I want make my own stock prerooted ROM.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Download from chainfire supersu thread
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] drgkt:
Please EDIT to be more specific for those of us that want to take the ride but swim in unknown waters:

1. Download and install ubuntu desktop? Run it and login as root user? (This has nothing to do with "To install Ubuntu, all you need to do is choose your user name and password" ??)

2. Ext4_utils: Where from? What home directory?

3. Both SuperSU and SuperUser are needed? (From Playstore the SuperUser version "varies with device", so one has to make sure that logs into playstore with an account in which that device is listed? SuperSU on the other hand, it says version is 1.65)

I will upload the resulting prerooted ROM once I am clear what I am doing.

Thx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
1.Yes install Ubuntu desktop (though USB edition may work, but I recommend desktop) just little search 'how to login as root user on ubuntu' you will get easily,

2.I think read first few pages, i have mentioned.

3.Best way is install SuperSU flashable zip from chainfire's thread and copy both files from device.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] drgkt:
1. Can I run Ubuntu desktop from a bootable cd according to Ubuntu's site instructions or MUST I install it?

2. Read entire thread and now re-read first 7 pages and did not see where to get the Ext4_utils. And after finding them, install under ubuntu? Home directory is an Ubuntu term? More info please here.

3. Confused. First, did not say if BOTH superSU and superUSER are needed. Second, if you mean this for chainfire's flashable zip*, how you install this on a stock device and what 2 files are you talking about?

A bit simpler Doc! The more you know the easiest is to talk over someone else's head......

* If you did not mean that one, you see it is easy for people to assume otherwise from what you intended if the exact link is missing. That is why I suggested to EDIT post #1.

Thx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
1 . from cd didn't work for me(i think root user issue)

2.you just tired 1 page before your destination. It's on page 8

3.yes both and link you mentioned also correct

Simply read script mentioned in op, you can easily get from where you have to pull from rooted device

(just to mention this method won't work on 4.3)

Sorry for missing some info but you can guess my work from my profile and how many post in how many threads I addressing daily.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] drgkt:
1. ok

2. Thanks, it escaped me (It would NOT if you edited 1st post) AND from the 2 listed there I assume ext4_utils_new.zip is the one. Correct?

3a. I wonder why both. According to this "SuperSU improves everything about Superuser and adds more options.". BUT if you say so it must be so. Perhaps you care to explain.

3b. My device is not rooted. I am interested in rooting it by the result of this task. Therefore, I cannot use the flashable zip, I must use apk's right? I can get SuperSU v1.65 apk from the playstore, however, SuperUser states (in playstore) that the version differs with device. So I am asking where do I get SuperUser.apk for N7100?

NOTE: No 4.3 here. I am trying to do this (4.1.2): PDA_CSC_MODEM: N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDMF1_N7100XXDMF1

Guys what version UBUNTU you are using? I installed 12.04.3 LTS Desktop BUT although I followed every google advice on how to sign in as root, I was never able to do so from the GUI (no option to enter username "root"). Only in terminal window using sudo -i would allow temp access as root.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] drgkt:
Summary

For those that need the extra help.

Note: I Did note use Busybox, find that yourself.

1. You do not need to sign in as root to Ubuntu. You can use "sudo" before a command if the command needs root access.

2. Get required "super" apps. Extract and use Su from "arm" folder.

3. Get required ext4 utilities. Follow instructions here.

Errors:

1. On executing "make" you may get: "fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory".

Fix

2. On executing "./mkuserimg.sh -s temp system.img ext4 tempdir 2048M" you may get "./mkuserimg.sh: line 57: make_ext4fs: command not found".

It worked on me by NOT prefixing the command with "sudo" Otherwise take a look here.

UPDATE:

FLASHING RESULTING FILE WILL GET:

E:error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip

Guys is there any way we can swith to stock firmware from dmg1? I tried every thing but older firmware of my reigon causing imei changed plus device remains on factorymode or factory test always, only way it fix is to flash dme4 modem plus efs restore, but as the modem is different than my firmware, it will be detected easily by Samsung, and off course they'll not accept any firmware other than my reigon's, I tried everything I came around through searching like performing phoenix dev's efs scripts, or efs repair using tool and aroma by [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION], none of those fixing my imei or take my device out from factory mode in older firmware, I just change modem to dme4 and everything fix magically, so please advise me, I may have missed post for fixing that.. Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pankaj_GB:
you just have to restore efs backup (prior to dme4), why you are flashing dme4????
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alipk52:
Well my problem is I can restore my efs but I have to flash dme4 modem as well, if I don't, it will remain on factory mode, with imei number also correct as I followed tamirda steps to manually copy efs files into efs folder, I guess you have flashed dme6 total stock without root then you update via kies? and if I m not wrong samsung restricted modem downgrade from dme6 release isn't? this is is the reason why your issue sorted out, you wont get any issue if you switch dmg1, dme6 etc, in my reigon, the latest firmware is dmc3 which is still older than dme6, this is why I am facing efs issues, your reigon has dme6 thats why you are able to sort it out directly by flashing dme6 firmware, now what will help me is Android 4.3 upgrade directly via kies, this way my firmware remains same as my country and of course it will be latest so I dont get modem or efs issues, thats why I am waiting for 4.3 roll out for my reigon.

because this modem is posted by a member as flashable zip, and it fixes efs issues, but I can't get any lower than that, like dmc3 of my country's firmware.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pankaj_GB:
so you have efs backup after this dme6 has done modifications in your efs partition???(please give reply to this here)

if your answer is yes then you may try for KIES Emergency Firmware Recovery

if this does not help you then you have to wait for official 4.3..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] oalex:
If what you say is right then why did my odin flash not work of the official rom? As I said, Dme6 with the stock modem (f1) did not work. Only if I manually update the modem to dmg1. That is I did have issues with switching between f1 and g1. So what I advice you to try is flash your stock dmc3, then update the modem (only) to new one manually so the imei works. The turn off the phone and do the steps that i listed. You have nothing to loose.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alipk52:
Ok mate, I will try the instructions from the thread and report back, hopefully my issue gets resolved with this :)

ok, so now I got it, your post suggested me that if we flash dmg1 modem, then even dme6 will also break efs, I also flashed dmg1 rom inc its modem, I wonder why dme4 modem works then? well anyways I am exactly on same point as you mentioned, I am currently on stock dmc3 with modem is dme4, good thing is it's older one, we had two dmc3 updates, and I have flashed older dmc3 firmware, I will follow your steps and the one mentioned by pankaj, and come back with the results, thanks for your help guys :)

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

I want to ask last thing, how can we flash modem only via odin? I had to flash custom recovery in order to flash modem, and I want to remain on stock recovery due to the warranty, and last question is even if kies dont detect the device due to csc mismatch, will firmware upgrade option in tools will work?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
-Flash modem.bin file with Phone tab of Odin (instead of PDA)

-Kies-tools-firmware upgrade initialization (or something this, i have never used kies)

it will ask you serial number (get from setting page) and follow the wizard

how to make prerooted to deodex.. plz help.. :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alipk52:
Ok dr, i will check this out soon as i get to my friend's laptop :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] oalex:
About modem the dr has answered.

About the second question. The answer is there in my step-by-step story. Kies doesn't have to detect your phone (i had csc problem too as described). You are going to connect it in download mode so csc wont matter. Just do exactly what I wrote down and stop confusing yourself before you even start ;).

Also dont use KIES Emergency Firmware Recovery unlike someone else advised above (that will not work for you). But rather use KIES Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. The two is not the same thing.

If you go into Kies Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, just follow the simple steps that are presented to you by the software itself.

0. Make sure you have a working modem (dont worry about version mismatch csc). So basically your stock firmware from sammobil and an upgraded modem (dmg1 with efs recovered from backup) so that imei is recognized.

1. Input phone model

2. Input Serial number (as said, you an find that under the battery, on the phone)

3. Turn off phone and put it in download mode.

4. Follow instruction on when to connect phone (Kies will download the right firmware and flash it for you, but this time the old modem will be fine)

... This is what did the trick for me... As I said you have nothing to loose, it cant brick your phone or anything like that.

So are you in a coma in some hospital in Cuba? Did you GN2 blow up when you tried my guide? Or did it work for you too?

-If you want to test your pre rooted ROM later you can unroot and check with your ROM.

Doc

Yes of course, you are right, one must check to see if these files have been updated, it goes without saying.

Now forgive me if I am wrong, BUT

For a user that has a NON ROOTED device and tries to preroot his stock ROM,

HOW is it possible

to follow that method?:

(*)

I am not quite sure what you mean by the last sentence above.

* That is why In making my prerooted rom (without Busybox) I used the files mentioned in post 265 and posted it here.
