Just FYI, this update has removed the ability to update the PRL in the "##DATA#" menu. I've been desperate to try to get this dang phone to accept BC10 signals again but now it looks like I'm back to square one. Just a warning to anyone else that might be in the same boat.

If anyone comes across a way to update the PRL on 4.3 please share! Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
That was removed like 2 or 3 updates ago.

Really? Prior to upgrading I still had the PRL option in the 4.1 release.

Not sure if this has been stated yet, but I've somehow ended up in a bootloop from restoring a 4.3 nandroid via TWRP.

Steps to reproduce issue:

Update to official MK4 VIA STOCK 4.3 update.zip

Root, remove KNOX apps

flash TWRP

Nandroid official 4.3 via TWRP

Restore 4.3 via TWRP

?????

Stuck on Boot screen

I'm about to do a total stock restore, will let you guys know how it goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I had same issue. I started with fresh mc2 install did not setup anything. Upgraded, rooted, de-knoxed and used for a couple days. Made a nand with twrp and did other ROMs. Tried to come back to with restore and sticks on boot. Shows sprint 4g animation then stops at the Samsung graphics.

Dec 2 OTA Update has come, so what's all the whining about?

I couldn't sift through 53 pages of posts, to see if this has already been addressed, but I am so surprised to hear all this whining about getting your latest & greatest updates, (sniff, sniff) later than other phones or companies, are most of the posters here bored 14 year old, snot nosed kids? My original intention of posting today was to let anyone know if they used Easy Tether, and it stops working after the OTA Update, then just reset the settings, (as in re-configure), that worked for me... Instead of coming on here and whining, I'm here with a solution... for all you others; Kit Kat ROMs are available for your GN2, from a variety of sites; root & scoot, but please stop whining!

Pardon me if this is a stupid question; do you need root to use Apps2SD? I'm not sure I want to re-root my phone.

Something that I REALLY dislike is the locked nvm folder. For guys who are used to exploring the nv items...it sucks. Even if you send the CORRECT 16 digit password the folder is still locked. This is with the MK4 modem. I haven't tried downgrading to the MC2 one that should work for sure

is it too hard to port from the international version? I have heard that T-mo can flash international versions of roms, as long as you flash a modem and a kernel afterward. I guess the kernel would be an issue though, since there isn't a 4.3 tw kernel for our phone yet.

That "XDA enhancement" you're bragging about in your sig is exactly Because people here care about "what android version their note 2 has".

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skulmunkie:
I think with the community of devs here on the note2; samsung should just sit back and worry about their next devices. I think the dev's here have it covered pretty well. Between Cyan, Paranoid, Illusion, and all the others; the community is not for the worse whether or not they update to Samsung 4.3

Speak for yourself! For me, this devise without tw is a lost cause.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
I don't NEED access to the nvm folder...but it's obviously nice to have lol. I just pulled the modem.bin out of the tarball for MC2 and that works to unlock the nvm folder. (PS: THATS ALL THAT MATTERS! FULL MK4 but the MC2 baseband/modem). I flashed it via Odin 3.07 in the phone tab. It gave me a sdcard error though when it booted into android... not an issue for someone who flashes the MC2 baseband solely for their nvm folder. MK4 baseband/modem flashes right back, no issues and sdcard issue is fixed.

I wonder what this type of "new" security is. Pretty sure I was able to see the nvm folder contents on efs(version)2 before. Maybe there's a new 16 digit password that needs to be leaked. I searched through the new modem files and can't find any 16 digit passwords other than the "old" one from 4.1.2. Facepalm. Dammit Sprint

hi there:

I dont want to install the new MK4. However, it was OTA and the phone keeps telling me to restart and install. I already delete the MK4 file in cache. How do I stop the popup reminder?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
The only "fix" is not using a Touchwiz ROM, or not using an outdated TouchWiz ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
I think there's a better fix than that. It involves being rooted and using titanium backup to stop a certain app (the one that controls OTA updates). I just don't remember which one it is. It's been a while since I've needed to stop OTAs.

Just like with any OTA. Back up and factory reset the device after upgrade and then go through and disable all the un-needed crap.

Do that and POOF battery life in full force.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
Is it possible to get a custom kernel for 4.3. Phone just feels slow after going stock rooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
It's possible. But AndreiLux retired his kernel and the Saber thread has been dead for a long time so I wouldn't expect one there either. Until a new dev comes out with a new custom kernel is when it might happen. I'm running 4.4.2 kit kat on cm 11 with the plasma kernel right now. Overclocked to 2ghz and couldn't possibly be happier right now. Rom is solid!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
Are there any bugs with the cm kit kat ?. I really like stock roms but there's always some annoying issue or just a fix that creates another issue lol so I general stick to touchwiz and mod it l.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
That depends on what you mean by bugs lol. All kidding aside though for me it runs perfect. Of course you're going to lose most if not all of the touchwiz features but I could care less myself. But as far as stability goes I haven't had an issue yet. Hope that helps you decide. It's really snappy though. You could just try it and always go back to touchwiz if you want. Just make sure to read, read, and then read everything again about the best ways to do everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stewall:
Do the factory reset

Just wanted to add my thanks for this simple but important advice; works a treat!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
I just flash cm 11 lastnight and I have to say I'm really liking this its so smooth thanks for the suggestions now I just gotta figure which version of plasma kernel works well. Now I don't need a kernel for the performance just for the mods thanks man am loving this ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Good to hear. Use 2.04b3 version of plasma. Also go into developer options and enable ART. You won't believe the difference! It's under runtime. Select ART then select reboot. Takes a few minutes to convert all of your apps but it's totally worth it!

Sorry. Use 2.04b3. Link is on page 43 in plasma thread. I hope you use the right one because I keep switching it lol. But this one is correct for 4.4.

I'm currently running rooted stock 4.1.2 with Perseus Kernel and TWRP Recovery. Sprint didn't push the OTA update to my phone until this Sunday.

Looks like **** we shouldn't want like KNOX is included, that mean Sprint/Samsung will void our warranties.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I'm not quite sure what you mean. If your device is rooted your warranty is already voided isn't it? At least that's what I always thought. This whole update sounds like nothing I want anyway. Trim support sounds cool but I already have the lagfix app which takes care of that. And there's no way they could get the screen to look any better than the way I have the settings with perseus kernel. I definitely don't think I will be updating because I love the way I have things setup and over clocked with perseus and it's memory and screen settings that updating would just screw everything up lol!

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Sorry meant to quote skripka.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shabgard:
Rooting your phone does not void your warranty, well it didnt I dont know about knox. Your warranty is voided if your phone breaks down because of the rooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Oh. Wasn't aware of that. Just what I always thought. Either way I really like the way it runs now and this update just doesn't seem like it's worth it to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Wrong and wrong.

Up until KNOX, so long as you could reinstall a stock ROM on your device and unroot you could claim on your device warranty. Say your USB port broke for example physically, something unrelated to the ROM or root state. With KNOX, the entire point is to make it so that Samsung knows that you rooted your device. And your warranty is instantly voided irrevocably. Even if your problem with the device has nothing to do with what ROM is loaded on it.

Knox isn't a "feature" for users, it is one for Samsung to allow them to brick warranties.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Thanks for that info. You think that's something users and developers could remove?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
For the Note3 that shipped with the BrickWare...last I knew, it was a brickwall beating it and a warranty death sentence. Granted I don't follow the N3 boards...But I haven't seen or heard anything on Android Police or Android Authority about dev(s) besting Knox...which if it happened, should be front page news.

I believe the N3 has a KNOX chip onboard which N2 doesn't. So our only hope is that it is not as much of a warranty death sentence. Although if it was as easy to bypass as the flash counter was, I'd think Samsung wouldn't have bothered re-engineering KNOX to work with the Note 2 and S3. The problem being with any TouchWiz ROM, their insanely fussy to screw around with, and just deleting the Knox code from the ZIP installer almost certainly won't work that would be too simple and obvious a security flaw for Samsung to leave in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bush2088:
Voiding your warranty is a non issue these days isnt it...if your phone is bricked they gotta jtag it to get it running again which wipes everything...and i always keep a stock MC2 on my computer just in case i gotta flash to stock for some reason...besides you get so many more features when you flash a custom rom...and for the most part, you hardly loose anything...i have been with the Android os since the Vibrant...and have quit sweating os updates a long time ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Both good points. I like stock rooted just because usually everything works like it should and it's easier to use I guess. And with the custom kernels out there it really doesn't have that stock experience anyway. I used to flash roms almost daily but now with kids and new job it's hard to get around to doing it and can't really take the chance of screwing things up.
