I went through your tool doc in detail.

I must say you are gifted and this tool is awesome.

Why wouldn't this thread/tool be famous.?

This should be sticky thread. I for one vote for sticky.

Hat's off doc. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Thanks a lot.

It took more than 5 days to make this, almost sparing 3-4 hours daily.

Every single line of each script I have to wrote myself as there is no other things I could find that I can copy paste.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I am sure of my statement brother.

You are gifted and have dedicated so much to all note 2 users.

Open up a poll for votes. Sticky thread to be. I will PM the moderator my vote for you :thumbup:

Thx a billion.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Thank you. I think vote to submit for sticky is enough rather making poll. Let's mod to decide what they feel. Also as you know making poll create hype and discussion will go wrong way and some spammer will jump.

Again thank you very much for your kind words.

Feeling proud to have such opinion from senior contributor like you.

One more compliment got by elite dev legend, he added link to this tool on simplistic framework 's OP.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] taz44410:

Advanced V2 (not released yet) so far added

Still finding something to add before releasing.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Guys

One suggetion was from wesamothman there to add CSC features, initially i thought to add that to Anymod. But I think nothing wrong to include in MultiTool. So if you know working CSC features kindly suggest here/PM me. There are plenty of lists available but I want to include those are working on our note. you can select whatever features you needs.

Also planning to add some tiny tweaks. Let's see.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Thankyou [MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4523586]MBariya[/MENTION] for sending me feature list.

Really guys this CSC feature was much time consuming among all I added in this tool, but finally did it. You will have > 30 features to select. Also added some workaround after seeing some users getting bootloop and features not applying when doing with app. Don't know how it will helpful, bcoz i have tested this 5-6 times and no error i can produce. but of course here you will have backup and restore option from CWM so nothing much to worry.

Still you have to wait before release, am adding one more feature. :) Exhausted now so I will finish tomorrow and updateV2.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] This is great buddy. You are real gifted :thumbup::thumbup:

Over 1100 lines of codes in this script. Great job and dedication dr.ketan.

Thanks for this tool.

I am planing to make one aroma tool for csc codes. Your tool will help me a lot.

Learned much more from you tool.

Thanks again. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Indeed it is 2-3 fold more to this bcoz I used to make bash as much as possible so it help me to port to my different mods and planned to use same for note3. If you count bash code then it will be much more. Just checking Y'day, this tool have nearly 300 selection /check option. May be this is one of largest choice option aroma. And first ever aroma for individual csc features. (Sorry if there but I have not seen)

Security bypass option- Temp. or permanent

Hello Dr.Ketan.

I am your fan and have your rooted ROM and AnyMode installed. I want to install Advanced mutitool, but have a question on 'Bypass security' option. Is it permanent bypass or onetime? Will it bypass PIN lock enforced by Company enabled server specified security policies through Exchange email?

I am looking at disabling 4 digit mandatory PIN by company policy

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cocos2000:
I have used MultiTool recently, (I am not sure if its MultiTool setting as I have done some more customizations also) - what happened is that my Note 2 is now hanging 8-10 seconds after screen is shut off... Do you have any idea or which setting may have caused this? Seems like a deep sleep, I am on 4.1.2 stock from dr Ketan (N7100XXDMC3_N7100OXXDMC2_N7100XXDLK7 (XEO) - Poland), flashing with oding does not help anymore and im stuck. This problem persists now through all roms I am flashing. All works ok unless I shut off the screen, then sometimes it wakes up after 4-6 seconds, sometimes never... depends on ROM/kernel flashed. Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Wipe once with stock recovery then re flash stock rom . If it persist then must be hardware

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Do you have philz recovery?

Otherwise use that

Also if you planning custom rom then that rom itself have option

First backup with that without flashing rom and check

Disaster!

Hi Doc, hope you can help. Had a IMEI failure on my n7100 DN3 v3. I thought no problem because I have my EFS backup from Multi tool.

But it doesnt work :(

I run the tool select restore as normal. It runs through the process and says completed sucessfully. Reboots and still no IMEI.

The /EFS folder is full (but i think it does that autmatically right) butthe /EFS/IMEI folder is empty.

The backup in MYEFS is 20mb

Do you have any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Move back on ROM when you made backup then restore
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jarayn:
Thanks mate.

I literally just fixed it, I copied the efs.img to my pc then ran it through the efsbackup restore batch file and it worked.

I have no idea why your aroma app didnt work it didnt save a log file either after I selected that. (it was external sd card... perhaps it has the wrong file adress for my rom?)

BTW did you make any progress with the aroma app you were making for DN3?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Have you put efs backup in MyEFS folder of sdcard?

May be I need to change path for 4.3

Yes releasing new rom with note3 features tomorrow or day after tomorrow. Keep watching my rom thread.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] injulia:
I see..

Thanks a lot Doc.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] egalus:
Hi,

somehow I lost root on my formerly CF-Autorooted Note2.

It was on stock 4.1.2, than CF-Auto-Rooted, than Installed philz recovery and installed DN3 v3 (which needed your wifi fix as I did not update bootloader), which worked for some hours but lost root lateron.

Now I found your tool and tried to root again - your tool says everything worked ok, but supersu on DN3 v3 still says "no su-file installed".

Any idea what might go wrong here?

Edit: Also tried rooting with multitool advancedv5 as it states 4.3 compatibility - still no luck.

Checking the v11 log shows some errors that the gui did not show.

The v5 log is just a 0 Byte File. Not sure why logging with advanced v5 did not work.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] izz.amizan:
dear dr. ketan...

im now using your latest custom rom v5...

I forgot to use the buildprop tweak while I was in the process of installing your v5 rom in aroma, can I now flash your advance multitools to tweak buildprop after I've already install your v5 rom?

tq in advance doc...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can use same ROM file for V5 too, just don't select to flash ROM and avoid all other option which already you have selected.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] izz.amizan:
tqvm doc... completely understood... I can use either multitools andvance OR v5 rom aroma (only choose the buildprop tweak option and skip the rest of the option)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes.

My Rom always having MultiTool inbuilt.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aquifx:
Hi Dr.Ketan,

I want to flash custom rom and maintain my warranty when required. Currently on stock 4.1.2 unrooted

Should I download and flash Philz first via ODin and then use DrKetan_MultiTool_AdvanceV2.zip (V2 version for 4.1.2) ?

With that I will get root , then I will download a ROm and flash correct ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Shiv K:
Hi

first let me thank for all the great effort you have put into the rom developments.

Now my issue,

My N7100 is on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ( N7100DDDMG1 / stock kernel ) , am running windows 8, have samsung USB driver installed, tried to install Philz recovery latest one via Odin. i have followed all instructions and i am not able to get this to work. It boots into the android OS every time and recovery remains stock , even after unchecking the reboot option in Odin its of no help and always shows the default android recovery. The flash counter however shows an increase everytime and its on 7 at the moment. tried both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. USB debugging is enabled.

Also have checked MD5 checksums of all tar files, odin and USB driver file. what am i doing wrong here any idea, the phone is not rooted yet..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Don't select auto reboot option in odin and when it reboot to cwm recovery, reboot device and select not to overwrite stock recovery.

Still you have issue let me know here.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Shiv K:
i already have tried that and mentioned it in last post , recovery has remained stock everytime and PASS message against a green background appears in a box on the top left of the Odin screen. i have used ODIN before on S2 and note 1 successfully..no idea here.

Should i root the phone first via CF-Auto-Root and then change recovery later. I am customizing note 2 for the first time from stock..

thanks for quick response

Regards
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aquifx:
Do we require to root first and then use this multitool, or can i play multitool directly via odin, (im a stock user 4.1.2 unrooted)....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
You need to have just CWM with odin

Root can also be inject with this tool.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] andymg:
I have this problem - I installed Philz recovery through Odin and then ran Multitool. I tried to root the device but the it fails. It says Samsung has blocked access to some protected area and then the SuperSU app stops working. Any solutions. Thanks in advance.

Help

Dr K,

I hope you can help but suspect you can't.

After many wipes and flashes I think I have lost my EFS partition. I have at least 5 full CWM backups and 2 TWRP ones and each time the Omega Aroma installer gave me the option I backed up my EFS - It would seem, however that these backups go to the /SD card and not the /extSD (even though i was flashing from there!).

I have reinstalled both 4.3 and 4.1.2 and I'm in 'factory mode' with no network access!

Is there a path I haven't tried? If not what is the best way to proceed?

Your help will be very appreciated.

:(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kdatale:
Dear Dr. I am also having the same problem. I tried to flash Philz recovery and getting PASS on Odin. I also did it for 6/7 times but not getting the to Philz recovery. I am having stock 4.3 on my Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rkkaranrk:
Uncheck auto reboot in odin and once the flash is complete remove the battery and try and boot into recovery with the key combination.

hey guys, updated to 4.3 and wanted to root my phone, just went through the OP(wifi fix) where the doc mentioned about the wifi fix and also to root using multi tool which got me to this thread. but i want to know which cwm recovery to use to flash the multi tool, this thread's OP suggests to flash philz, but will that work with 4.3 ( sorry if it's been already asked, couldn't go through all the posts)

Hello dr ketan.

I went through your tutorial and managed to install philz and root via multi tools v2 ...and am still on Android v4.1.2 stock. Now I would like to know can I just flash ur rom using philz recovery? I have taken efs backup. Also tell me is it possible to take my entire stock rom backup to revert if new rom has issues?

And Thanks a lot for your support towards note 2 community.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes philz recovery have inbuilt option to backup entire surrent ROM, you can do it first.

after that

Copy new ROM file to Sd card

Select wipe data - select second option (clean install for new ROM) (after this step devie can't boot nornall before flashing ROM)

back to recovery main page and select install zip - select new ROM file

Flash it and follow interactive wizard in aroma to install new ROM (you will get many option to customize your device, check every option carefully, and there will be option to skip at every step, if you don't want that particular utility)

i ) .img 0kb

ii ) efs.img 20 mb

Now how can I see the contents of the efs.img.What tool should I use.Ive googled this but no straight forward answer.Maybe you can enlighten all.

And what should be the contents.If you could give a breakdown then I could do the comparison.

Hello Dr Ketan

I saw in this thread that the tool also has Traingle away. Do tell me this. Does this multitool work in resetting the knox counter too? :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ashT1971:
Hi Dr. Ketan,

This is Ashutosh from Mumbai. Would be grateful for your urgent help. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 [7100] : rooted & CWM installed. Yesterday, I upgraded it to Android 4.3 and then followed your instructions to manually re-root. I used your Multi Tool Advance first. Had installed CWM also [Philz ...]. Everything worked fine. But, my phone started showing state as 'Custom' and using Triangle Away was not having any effect.

So, I went back & installed your Multi Tool Aroma : the basic version as that version offers an option to enable Triangle Away. It did that and asked ethat root might have been lost : should I fix it. I said yes. It did that. However, after doing that, my phone got stuck : it shows the opening screen "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT 7100 ..." and then the screen goes blank : although when I connect it to my laptop, it shows added in Odin.

The phone is able to reboot into recovery as well as download mode but on rebooting it won't go beyond the blank screen after the opening screen.

Stayed up the whole night & have done the following:

- Used Clean option using the Aroma tool

- Reloaded CWM using download mode

- Ran your tools again trying out different options

- Finally, using the Aroma Tool, used Restore Stock Kernel

- Then, even tried to flash Neak kernel using your tool

- Went back to then doing factory reset using recovery

For each of the actions tried, the result remains the same. Phone is charging, it does boot into recovery as well as download mode but does not go beyond the blank screen after the opening screen.

Unfortunately, I did not take a backup of anything. Can you help me restore my phone? I'd be really grateful.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can't reset counter on 4.3

If you have also flashed 4.3 officially (kies/ota or odin with bootloader file) then you have lost warranty permanently.

Also no meaning to use ANY option of multitool to revive device. There should be some logic. Any way simply reflash rom. If still can't boot then factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ashT1971:
Hi Dr. Ketan,

Appreciate your reply.

Had upgraded officially using Kies to 4.3. In any case, will try to download stock rom for GT-N7100 and try to flash it using Odin. Can you give me a link of the stock rom for India?

Agree with the logic part. Am rather new onto this. Hence, tried out different options.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

Hi Dr. Ketan,

Also, wanted to ask you whether there is any way of using 4.3 and still getting official Android upgrades? As my experience suggests, using Triangle Away doesn't help.
