[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
It is really simple though. You just download the one you want(no data if you want to keep your current setup) then just right click the file on your PC and click run as administrator. Then double click that file. For me it put in in a oc file on my desktop but you can probably put it wherever you want. Put your phone into download mode by holding volume down, home and power at the same time. Obviously your phone should be off 1st. Hit the up arrow to enter download mode on your phone. Then you should see a yellow com window in Odin open up. And then click start in the Odin window on your PC. When it's finished, usually after about 10 min, you'll get a green pass square and just let your phone boot up completely and you're done. Sounds like a lot but if you follow it step by step it's pretty simple. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
It keeps running it with Winzip and then nothing extracts from the file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Are you right clicking on it and choosing run as administrator? If so I really don't know how to help you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
I should be downloading the .exe or the .tar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Sorry man. I'm chasing a 2 yr old around at the same time lol. Anyway yeah the. Exe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
Ah. Well. This is embarrassing.

The reason it wasn't working was because I downloaded the .tar file. I am now downloading the correct file.

I'm a bit late to this conversation, but why not flash this thru cwm/twrp (instead of dealing with odin/1-click)?

Also, I'd suggest to disassociate your phone to wallet before trying. I've heard that once your secured partition is corrupt, you can never use wallet again on your phone. By taking your phone off wallet is a way to prevent this. Good luck.

Edit: Here is the discussion regarding losing wallet forever.

That's exactly how I'm used to flashing ROM's- I wasn't sure how to do that here. I finally did get the Odin One-Click method to work thanks to t4d73. I flashed the Rooted NODATA ROM and the Modem- so far so good.

I read about the Google Wallet issue in that thread- looked like there may have been some confusion as to whether or not resetting it was the cause or not. In any event, I cannot get into Google Wallet, it just says device not supported, however I can still use it to make payments. I might go to CVS later to try it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Yeah that definitely is another way of doing it. I don't have a custom recovery but that's gonna change tonight once the kids go to bed lol. Btw you guys see that new saber kernel over in the original section? Looks pretty good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coiledwire:
Good point regarding not having a custom recovery. But install goomanager from gplay, goto menu > install openrecovery script. Once downloaded and installed, open the app and reboot to recovery, then *bam* you're in twrp. But both OC and flashable zip lead to the same place.

Saw the new kernel. I'm using the latest peresus kernel, but I DL'd saber and will give it a go in near future.

Any help?

Hello fellow Note-2 fans ... I've got a problem with Odin and could use your help. My Odin proceeds as far as the bootloader then fails. Here's the screen capture. The phone was in download mode perfectly fine. I've got a brick on my hands until someone can offer help. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I am simply trying to move my device back to the LJC modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Not sure I would ever understand why you would want to do that but you could just get the modem here.

http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900)/Modems/ZIP

You don't need the whole rom but you probably do now it looks like. Try one of the newer restores.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
The reason it failed is because - as noted in several places - MA7 and MC2 cannot just roll back to LJC. You have to use a solution like Billard412's because the bootloader has to be replaced first.

So as a reminder, don't expect a full LJC one click to work right away when coming from a later version.

Reflash a MA7/MC2 nodata to get back to running.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kidFromBigD:
Sorry man - I've been overwhelmed with the sheer amount of GN2 info in dozens of threads.

So, try your one-click Odin SPH-L900_MA7_Rooted_Nodata.exe for example? Then once complete, find Billrd412's fix for the bootloader?

Thanks, thanks and more thanks for your help! :good:

Update: Works. Thanks for the files!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chanman:
I've lost incoming calls after going to MC2 modem/kernel. This is really bad. I can still receive SMS though.

How do I fix this? Downgrade to MA7? The trouble is I'm coming from LJC.

Edit: clearing dalvik and regular cache fixed this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Restored what? Wallet or the whole rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Sadly this happens on MA7 too... I don't have but observations but in my case it said there was a tower with 100% signal that didn't actually seem to exist. When move far enough away it fixes on its own... but I'll try your method next time.

Advice on how to flash

Hello.

I admit to being a noob, so if my questions seem obvious, consider the source.

Anyway: I have the Sprint Galaxy Note II with Baseband L900VPALJC.

It's rooted with the Galaxy Note II Toolkit and has TWRP custom Recovery.

I've been getting the "Update Available" now for several months and want to update to a rooted stock ROM.

I understand that MC2 is the latest ROM. So:

1) how do I perform the update safely?

2) are there any issues I should be aware of with this ROM?

3) Can I update directly from PALJC or must I do another update first, and if so, which one?

I've done ROM flashes on my SII, but it's been awhile, and I want to make sure I don't forget any necessary steps, which is why I'm asking for the help.

I do have Titanium Backup as well, and have just performed a backup.

Thanks in advance for the help...

Should I flash the modem too, or just leave the modem I have now?

I would flash the modem. I like for it to match my firmware version but u don't have to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steve In Orlando:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
I always feel obligated to wearing the modem that matches my firmware too. Is there any real benefit to having your modem match your firmware, or any negative impact for mismatching?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Thanks to Kies finally making this available I am happy to say that updated MC2 builds are on the way.

They will finally be complete restores including modem and correct CSC data.

Be on lookout for these by the end of the day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Sorry for the dumb question I'm about to ask but what is csc data? Would that have any affect on my current no data build?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
In most cases, no... won't make a difference.

It will just show in Kies a different CSC version - LJC if you used my previous one.

New builds are up! You'll notice they have the changelog ID also now - that's how you can tell the new versus old.

Links didn't change so I won't be updating OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
Is there any reason why these new MC2 builds have caused the 4-in-1 Reboot and MultiWindow mods to no longer work? They definitely worked on your older build of MC2. Now when I flash them nothing bad happens, but they just don't ever show up after the reboot.

Updated CSC perhaps. It and a the modem are the main changes.

Hi guys,

a new version of ER2003Edit is available from the wiki page:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit

New features and improvements:

- provides support for the new upgrade tool version (0.9.1.0) used by the latest T-Mobile and O2 updates

- supports editing of the header information (DeviceID, Operator and Language) in order to circumvent the country code error

- some other fixes and improvements

Best regards,

softworkz
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] popsi:
Thnx dude! At last we got a program to modify the header. :D I guess this makes a lot of XDA owners very happy.

Great work!

Late...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bobopopo:
Thanks Softworkz, great work again. It really looks like an even more powerful tool, but there seems to be a little bug (or I am doing something wrong):

After upgrading ER2003Edit to the new version, I cannot open the ms_.nbf anymore. When I try to open the file, ER2003Edit always crashes, although I left the file unbmodified.

Downgraded to the old version again and there it works, although I have to decode and encode the files by myself.

Any suggestions?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] popsi:
No problems opening the ms_.nbf here after doing the upgrade. Running Win XP sp1.

Try uninstalling the old one completely then install the new one...

Works great!

Late...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Xant:
is it a misunderstanding between header-information and encryping ???

I think Er2003edit does not do the encryption/decryption so far.

Hey Softworkz...

this would be a great improvement as I guess all coming

extended roms will be encrypted.

Alex
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bobopopo:
Tried uninstalling and re-install but that didn't help. As far as I remember, Softworkz tool is not able to edit encrypted ms_.nbf.

But on my machine (Win XP pro 2002 SP1) the program always crashes when opening an non-encrypted ms_.nbf...

I will use the old one as a workaround, I don't need to change the header so this should be fine.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] itsme:
some programming tips:

It should not be very difficult to implement the xor decryption, just xor each DWORD in the file with 0x25863614 after loading it in memory, and before saving it back to the file.

also, if you verify the header checksum after loading the file, you should be able to detect that the file you are loading is actually a decrypted nbf file.

and another check to see if at offset 0x70040 there is a valid bootsector, with

the 'MSWIN4.1' and 'FAT16' strings should prevent it from crashing on invalid files.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] softworkz:
Ouch, I just found out that the wrong version of xda2tools.dll was included with the setup. I have made available a new version (1.2.20) to fix this. (see wiki page)

Some details about ER2003Edit:

You do not need to uninstall old versions before installing newer ER2003Edit versions.

The new version (1.2.x) is able to perform XOR-De-/Encryption. When opening an extended ROM file ER2003Edit first checks if it is encrypted by looking for the presence of the dashes in the header.

If those are present in the right places ER2003Edit opens the file as usual. If the dashes are absent ER2003Edit tries to decrypt with all of the three XOR-Passwords (). If none of those passwords produces a file with a correct header a prompt is shown which lets you enter your own password.

The decrypted (or a copy of the unencrypted) ROM file is saved to the temp folder. When saving with ER2003Edit the file is encrypted again (in case the original file was encrypted) and is saved to the original location overwriting the initial file.

Itsme: The "dash-check" was used because the CRC-check in your code was always true (didn't look into it further).

The new version supports auto-detection of the ROM type in order to edit the header of the other 2 ROM files (NK and Radio_), too. The "error accessing image files" message is now suppressed for these files.

Nevertheless modifying the header of those files is useless and I didn't figure out how to access the file structure in those files (doesn't look like a FAT image).

Best regards,

softworks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bobopopo:
Okay, that explains the problems I experienced. As soon as I am back home I will give it a try. If it works it will be a nice & powerful tool...

==> seems to work perfectly. So there are no more obstacles. Next stage will be an Upgrade to 1.66.xx... :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] itsme:
ok, now it works.

currently, a non-matching crc value only results in a printed warning, maybe I/you could add an extra parameter to the file processing functions, which get the result of the crc-check.

or maybe even better, raise an exception, for the warnings.

Hi all

Please help to clarify as there are some inconsistances...

(or I am wrong, but will run into this problem)

Er2003edit will try to modify the header information in the NK and Radio_mbf but this will not be successfull and I still will get the Country ID error, is that right ???

As far as bobopopo expierenced the new upgrade utility will not run parts of the upgrade but rather leave the machine useless.

So there is a missing link...

Alex
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] softworkz:
The CRC check does not work in your code. XORing with a wrong password results in the following message:

WARNING: this does not look like a nbf header, possible you provided the wrong password

But this gets printed as a result of the "dash-check". If the crc-check would fail, a different message would be printed:

WARNING: checksum is not ok, possibly you provided the wrong password

But this message never gets printed because (filecrc != crcsum) never occurs (for whatever reason).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] softworkz:
No. Er2003Edit can open NK and radio ROM files and edit the header. Er2003Edit automatically re-encrypts the newer ROM files (XOR-Method).

Er2003Edit decrypts older ROM files (DES-Encrpytion), lets you edit the header and save the file but it does not re-encrypt these ones (use xda2nbftool). A message is displayed in this case to remind you to encrypt the file.

AFAIK the upgrade tool will only look at the extended ROM's operator field. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] nargalzius:

I knew about this. I was just stating that the header of NK and Radio is irrelevant for the upgrade tool and is not responsible for the country code error.
