are you using xdarit to write your image to SD card ?.

You have to use SD card flash method to upgrade/downgrade the ROM.

Download XDarit and use that to write the image (.nb1) to SD card in 1k header format.

Then reset and boot your pda after holding the power button. You will see a menu which will let you flash your PDA with the image on the SD. Search for xdarit on the forum. You will find SD card flash process also.

rchir, when you said I blew my bootloader some how , did you mean you get GSM error?

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] rchir:
No,

I was unable to get into the bootloader anymore. I trid to build a boot loader upload SD card and it wiped out the boot loader from my PPC.

GSM error might be due to you Radio firmware failure.

Thanks, well, if you could figure out how to solve the Radio firmware failure, please post it, I'm sure many people here would apreciate it :lol:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] tansoftware:
I also have a broken bootloader ...

I have an xdaII, and I've somehow overwritten the original bootloader v1.06 with a corrupt bootloader image. Now my xdaII is completely dead. No leds flashing, no screen, no button response. All I get is a flashing red led when i rty to charge my xdaII without the battery. It seems I can't access my bootloader anymore. Plz help !! If you know any method to access the boot loader agin it be a great help. Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] rchir:
sorry guys, it has been a long time since i sold my XDA, but i think pnewbootloader will only work if you are able to connect your pda to PC with activesync.

So you should have a working XDA, with a broken bootloader to get it fixed. Seems like in your case, Both the ROM and Bootloader are corrupt. I am not sure about any process which will fix both at the same time.

Download the app from post one.

Download I9100 FlashKernel v3.0 from post 9.

Unzip and install the FlashKernel

Install the app

Bring your firmware into the app (it might be necessary to unzip it if you dl'd it as a zip)

Enable all the wipes

Allow the MD5 check

And flash.....

You will end up with unrooted stock JB.

It's how I did it....without issue...

The chances of bricking with pc odin are higher than with this option.....this app and method was created by a highly respected dev called Chainfire....the guy is genius for the S2.....

With mobile odin, you don't even have to worry about putting the firmware files in the wrong places....it's done automatically. ....

All you have to do is flash a couple of app components, import the firmware, tick a couple of boxes and flash.....don't get any easier than that......

Note : Yes confirmed i just now downloaded solitaire it was a 18MB game and successfully moved it to SD so i can confirm it is possible on stock 4.2.2 its just that the app must be movable To move it look in the application manager and click on the app and if u get the option to move to SD u can click on it and move the same hope it helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
Hey guys,

I noticed no one talked about this issue on forums or in an article, so I decided to post my solution that it worked for me. I will try to explain as much as I can. I also wanna say that I am not a developer. Before I start.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ON YOUR DEVICE OR ANYTHING HAPPEN TO IT WHAT SO EVER. IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE, ITS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY

Read all the way to the end

This is for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 T-Mobile (SGH-T889). I didnt try it on other variants but I believe it should work. Anyway, this method is for stock ROM only. I no longer support custom ROMs. If you wanna try it with a custom ROM then good luck. I hope it works for you.

Here is what I did:

1. Make sure you have Stock ROM 4.1.2 (UVBMD1). If you dont then go here http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/

2. Root your device. I used ChainFire method. Here is a "How to" http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-t-mobile-sgh.html

3. Try to connect. If it didnt work then download Triangle Away from "Play Store".

4. Go into Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

5. Try to connect now. It should work for sure ^_^

Optional:

If you want Custom Recovery then:

6. Install the Custom Recovery you want. I tried TWRP

7. Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

8. Try to connect. It should work

If anyone have a question please let me know. I will be more than glad to help you guys.

If I helped you please Press Thanks and Good Luck :fingers-crossed:

Note: I noticed when I go to TWRP. The dongle don't work again. So, I use Triangle Away one more time and things works back perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] k3v0:
Did this work with a custom kernel? In my experience it must be stock. I'd ve happy to find out I am wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
Here is my info I hope it will help everyone. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
I didnt think about it previously. It seems you were right. It is the stock kernel. So right now i am wandering if I can flash a custom kernel. So my phone will be like this:

Custom ROM (Jedi Master 13)

Custom Kernel

Stock boot img

Is it possible?

By the way, what can you do with a custom kernel beside increasing the cpu from 1600 to 1920? btw I am just asking because I really didnt do that much research on kernel yet. Plus, Note 2 is my first android phone :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] k3v0:
In my experience no, the syscope service verifies the kernel, lack of superuser access, the sysscope binary itself, among other things. I tried a stock kernel with only init.d support added and that failed.

I have custom recovery (TWRP) and SuperSU. Triangle Away works wonders with flashing and SuperSU. There is a "sysscope blaster" module for the xposed framework that can help with more heavily modded custom ROMs. Both didn't help when I ran a custom kernel on an otherwise stock ROM.

I wanted a custom kernel primarily for init.d support to plug the data leak in my firewall app. I was also interested in overclocking and undervolting. Init.d support I manage through a workaround, so in my case I am only without OC/UV. SetCPU even on the stock kernel is a fair alternative here.

Same here I had an iPhone 3GS before this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
I've also been looking for a way to do all of this and will try your steps. But last time I checked, Jedi Master rom does not have the AllShare Cast utility in it. How did you get the Allshare connection utility into Jedi Master?

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Maybe (probably!) I'm confused, but if you flash JM in step 3, then later flash the stock rom in step c, won't that overwrite your JM installation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
I apologize and wanna thank you for correcting me.

I meant "Stock Boot img"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
So step c is flash stock recovery, not stock rom? So when do you flash TWRP in your process?

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

I see you corrected the steps, so thanks for that! Still wondering about how you got the Allshare Cast connection utility into Jedi Master? AFAIK, he removes it. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
Guys it's stock boot img. It's NOT stock rom neither recovery. I did a mistake. I replay to u on the fly... but I am 100%sure it's stock boot img.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
Edit: Never mind on this, just opened toolkit (which I haven't used in a long time) and I see it's right there. Still wondering about Allshare Cast in JM.

No worries, we got it! But one more question, if you don't mind. Where are you getting the stock boot img? Is this a flashable zip from somewhere, or is this done in Odin in the toolkit? Really appreciate all your work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
Success!

Hey, just wanted to report that I went through the steps and installed JM13, and then used toolkit to push the stock boot image. And sure enough, it all works! Turns out I missed AllShare Cast in JM13 before because it wasn't in the toggles. BUT, there is a widget for it that you can drag to a home screen. Tested it out and works great with the dongle. Thanks for posting all this!

Edit: I should add that anyone doing this should know that some of the kernel-related tweaks in JM will not work without it's own Saber kernel installed. So after pushing the stock boot image, which overwrites Saber and restores the stock kernel, Voodoo sound for sure does not work, and probably some of the Jedi cpu tweaks, haven't tried those.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
I just came back home to replay ur previous post. I am very glad that it worked for u. I hope this trick will work on all custom roms based on touchwize. If there is a tester out to try my method that will be great.

I also hope this thread become sticky. Because there isn't anyone online that wrote a solution for it.

Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
I think the big issue with this working on any custom rom is gonna be the kernel issue. JM is custom but still pretty close to stock. Or at least closer than probably any other rom. So pushing the stock kernel instead of the one the rom dev provided could cause some pretty bad things on some roms that really depend on the kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
The best part of this trick is to have rooted ROM and AllShare cast dongle. It's much better than stock ROM not rooted. So now u can enjoy root features which everyone needs and a big screen with ur phone desktop. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mygalaxynote2:
Thank you very much for your kind and sharing it with us.

I just bought the Allshare Cast Dongle, and I'm having a real problem with this dang thing. I went from iphone3 to GN2, so I'm very noob on rooting stuff, so please bare with me.

I follwed the youtube video to root my device to TRWP custom rom/recovery, but it wont work with Allshare Cast Dongle since it is a custom rom. I did some research and people said I have to use Triangle Away to reset the binary counter to 0, so i did that, but my binary counter was still at 1! It still didnt work with Allshare Cast Dongle.

Then I used Triangle Away again to reset the binary counter, and then went into Odin Download Mode to flash the Stock Recovery. The dang Allshare Cast Dongle still didnt work!

I did remove some bloatwares before, so I'm not sure if this has to do with it.

Is there anyway you or someone can help me solve this problem?

Also, whats the difference between stock recovery and stock boot,

and could you give me the link to the Stock boot file?

I have T-mobile GN2 and I really dont want to unroot and do the factory reset... I have alot of stuff on my phone.

Thank you very much
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
According to your description you did one mistake in your steps.

You need to flash Stock BOOT img and keep the Custom Recovery. The Custom Recovery is very useful tool. You can flash Custom ROMs, Themes, or any .zip file.

After you flashing stock boot img, then you will use Triangle Away. As I mentioned in my OP, even if you still have the counter on 1, it doesn't matter.

After you boot into the system just go ahead and connect to Allshare Cast Dongle.

I hope it will work for you. Anyway let me know if you have any problem.

Good Luck:cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mygalaxynote2:
Thank you for replying.

is it possible that you give me the link to Tmobile SGH-T889 stock Boot img?

Also, since I have already flashed the stock recovery, is it going to be a problem when flashing Stock Boot img with Odin?

After I flashed the stock recovery, my phone status still says modified, so I'm not sure if I'm on stock or custom recovery now.

You said you flashed stock boot img on top of your Jedi Master 13,

Do you know if it is safe for me to flash the Jedi Master 13 first and then flash the stock boot img?

thanks alot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
First I am still not responsible to anything happen to your device. but here is the way that I would do it on my own device:

1. Flash Custom Recovery TWRP. to make it easier for you to flash a custom ROM (Jedi Master 13).

2. Flash Jedi Master 13

4. Flash Stock Boot Img. as for the file, Galaxy note 2 Toolkit will download those files for you. Follow the instructions on the toolkit and you should be able to flash the Stock Boot img.

5. use the Triangle Away. it doesnt matter if the flash counter=1 nor Modified. The reason we are using Triangle Away because it "resets binaries".

6. After that connect to your Dongle :)

Note: After doing all the steps. if you went to the Custom Recovery in the future for any reason, you will have to use Triangle Away again. I noticed when every-time i go to custom recover to do something, I wont be able to connect to AllShare cast dongle. So use Triangle away to reset your binaries and you should be fine.

let me know if worked for you or if you have any other questions. I am glad to help ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mygalaxynote2:
Thank you very much for the details step by step instructions.

I've flashed stock recovery before, but I do not think my phone is on stock recovery because I have removed some bloatwares after I rooted, so i believe Samsung did not allow me to switch back to stock recovery unless I do the factory reset, and then flash stock firmware.

However, I'm not sure if that was the case since I dont know how to check my phone to see if it's still on custom or stock recovery

After I flashed the stock recovery, my phone still boots up and works just like I had before.

I think I just need to flash the Jedi Madter 13 without having to flash TWRP custom recovery again.

As far as Stock Boot .img, I dont see any option that says Stock Boot .img anywhere on gn2 toolkit, I only saw

option#3: Flash insecure Boot image Only, for adb access.. is this the right option on GN2 toolkit menu?

I'm sorry to ask you so many questions, but I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing because I cant really afford another GN2 :)

Thanks alot for your patience helping me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
Sorry for the late respond, I have a lot of work these day. Anyway, in order to solve your issue. you need to go back to the way your phone was on the first day you got it. Which means, everything stock. Then go to my OP and start from there.

This might help you to go back to everything Stock.

NOTE: this link is for International Model. It should be just fine for T-Mobile version but make sure you download the RIGHT FIRMWARE for

T-Mobile model (SGH-T889). One more thing, watch the video all the way to end make sure you understand then do it step by step.

http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/

Note: Custom Recovery is used to flash custom ROMs and do nand back-up, also some other useful things. So, I strongly recommend that you keep custom recovery.

I really hope this will help you. I guarantee if you went back to stock and follow the steps then your phone should be connected to the dongle.

Good luck:fingers-crossed:

If you bumped into problems let me know as well. happy to help ;)

Hello everyone!

This is just a friendly suggestion to the Moderators.

Is there a reason why there is just this Forum for all Sony Tablets? This Forum is getting way too confusing with the Sony Tablet S, Xperia S (often just called "Tablet S") and now even the new Tablet Z! I think it would make the life of everyone easier if you could separate these different Tablets in new forums.

Thanks. :)

P.S.: Maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully the Poll will help to decide ;).

Dont forget the Tablet P! It also has its place here :D But i guess only the Xperia Tablets need their sub forums here, at least.

[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
I think just one more forum..... a separate one for XTZ as it is a far more superior device than ours (supported by PC Companion for one). Where as the STS STP and XTS are more or less the same thing (software wise).

Sub forums???

Sony Tablet > Sony Tablet S and P Devlopement

Sony Tablet > Xperia Tablet S Developement

Sony Tablet > Xperia Tablet Z Development

^^ In ther separate groups.

To many forums means more to check and I may not get around to helping you XTS guys :p
