Question about Flashing Bootloader.

At the moment I am running DN3 V.3.1.1--going great but feel the need to update Bootloader.

Can I just do this with ODIN, no wipe and good to go--or, should I flash the whole ROM all over again, full wipe, clean install then ODIN flash MJ5.

If I can just do it--'on the fly' in other words not wiping anything--will my old Nandroid Backups made with previous Bootloader still be cool after new BL installed?

I think so, but not sure.

Any help, please?

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

I was just going to PM you about my issue, ha ha.

As far as I am aware--Dr.Ketan has written about doing this--but, where I saw it is a bit murky--I am 90% it was in one of the good Doctor's many Threads--but, he has so many.

if I can find it I will post for you.

I, too, prefer MJ5 to MK4, but as you can see I am way 'behind the curve' still on DBM2.

The more I think about it--the more certain I am that Doc. K has written what you are looking for--he details the KNOX Warranty sh*t in Download Mode and the fact that, after his fix it is back to zero--or no KNOX issue in DL mode.

We shall have to find it.

for flashing the MJ5 bootloader... YUP its fine... you can upload it on the fly... it will work without problem...

regarding downgrade from MK4 bootloader. IT IS NON-EXISTANT YET. we cant downgrade MK4 bootloader... so once you are on MK4 bootloader... you are stuck there.

Anyone have can use Cellar setting like ( *100# + Call ) something like this to get Cellar setting?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Well--that's very interesting--thanks for the clarification regarding MK4--sorry for anyone who wanted to change and is unable--sorry also, if I gave the impression, wrongly it appears, that a downgrade/upgrade from MK4 was in fact possible. I was sure that Doc. Ketan posted info relating to this--but, all I have found, so far, is his downgrade from MJ5.

Thanks [MENTION=1473204]edan1979[/MENTION] for the help regarding my change from DMB2 to MJ5, also.

Dear experts. I need help. One of my very good friend, whose n7100 was on 4.1.2 with ariza patch, I flashed dn3 v3 on his phone, the phone lost network, even after flashing patched kernel and patched modem it did not work. He took the phone to some technician, phone got network back. For some personal reasons he flashed back to 4.1.2 using nandroid backup. The phone was still working perfectly. Later he flashed official mk4 using odin. Now he isn't getting network.

He wants to come back to dn3 again. Please guide how to make a comeback. Thanks.

Fllashed on i317 (Someone said it would work) and it didnt boot into the animation, so I restored my backup and it still doesnt work!! Bootloop restoring form a nandroid? This never happened before. I think my phone may be dead. :crying:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] methoddon1:
not true. people posting pics with 2 days usage forget to mention "certain details", like, basically that they're not using the device. I NEVER LIE. I'm a heavy user(everything except games), I don't play games), on any regular day with heavy use I get (like I mentioned before), 17 hours with 6 hours screen on time, with seven accounts syncing etc. Google location is off. two days ago I was too busy with work so the usage was mid, and I've got 37 hours with 4 hours screen on(always at 90% brightness). some phone calls Gmail, hangouts, xda, No video, youtube or music. so, NO, 12 hours is not what u should get. this rom has a good deep sleep and about 7-8 minutes of screen on time on 1%. thanx again E-team.

No magazine

After flashing and restoring my backups, i noticed I was missing magazine, the one that shows when you slide your finger up on the launcher or press the center button, when I do that it says this application is not installed and takes me to play, annnd I was thinking if maybe i could flash only this, or install the apk, so I dont have to reinstall everything? whats the name of this apk?

concerning the people that sh** on Samsung chargers, - maybe, but not the issue here. charges under two hours, even with using charger from Galaxy W (yeah, my wife loves that little thing), I use it when I wanna surf and charge at the same time but our cable is too short, anyway, - with that charger and screen on, it takes like three hours to charge, so it's all in the system (unless you got your device looooong time ago and the cable might have outlived it's time).

Can someone please reply to my previous comment? I need my phone tomorrow i'm going to America (In Canada), also i tried wiping data+cache+dalvik, still didn't work. Restore didn't work. Recovery and download works though. Also, i use a Mac so no ODIN. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] methoddon1:
I see you said recovery still works, wich is that? and with the same recovery that you still got did you do your backup?

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

is the dn3. zip still on your device? can you locate it?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] C00lBeanz:
Yes i still have my old Nandroid backup, but after restoring it, i'm stuck on an endless bootloop. And what DN3 zip? The zip I downloaded or what? I have Aroma file explorer so i might be able to see if i find any DN3 zip files. But i think not, because even after wiping data, i am still stuck on a bootloop.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] methoddon1:
yes, DN3v3.zip that you download it. that's why you need OS that can run Odin. never had Mac so can't advise you on that, but how do u connect to your Mac in download mode? anyway, the only thing I see right now is to keep trying either to flash the rom again and give it 10,some people even waited 15 minutes for the first boot up(mine, personally was about 3 minutes), or try restoring it. sorry, so far, nothing else comes to mind. if it was anything But Mac, No problem, but with Mac it's a different story for me.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

hope you resolve it and for future reference, before flashing, check your Backup with AVF, if everything went well and backup is not corrupted.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

simple answer.... YOU FLASH A WRONG FIRMWARE... for i317 and other variant go to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541860

download firmware for your device there.... and i suggest you fully wipe your phone.

@methoddon1

he used i317. you just giving wrong support.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] C00lBeanz:
The thing is, i waited 10 minutes at the "Galaxy Note II" splashscreen after i downloaded the rom on my I317. And the nandroid is not corrupted, because i restored it before a few times already. Is this rom not for the I317? Someone said it worked with it. It asked me to install the N7100 modem, i said yes. Was i supposed to say no? Should i try flashing it again on my I317? Oh and my recovery is PhilZ recovery 6.0.0.8.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] drurfan:
For the bootloop , remove your battery, wait for some time, clear cache and develic and wipe for new room if you are using Philz and flashing rom with aroma, Don't click option of clean wipe as this leads to boot loop some how. Hope this works for you

Here you find the words of Dr. Ketan declaring the impossibility to downgrade from MK4. I'm however quite sure he modified the #1 post of the thread...look at the thread's name...'cause many persons as you and I could think it was possible to downgrade from MK4 with knox.

I didn't choose clean wipe, but i didnt even get into the boot animation, it was stuck on the splash screen for 10 minutes. Maybe wrong recovery?

it might working but with full wipe.

nope. it using stock animation. if its on samsung logo. just wait. first boot usually take long time. the longest i got was around 15 minutes.

It's still on the 'Galaxy Note II" Splashcreen. Not the samsung boot animation logo tough.

OMG im scared it turned pitch black what do i do?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] methoddon1:
to tell you the truth I didn't even consider the fact that he's not on n7100.it should be users responsibility as I saw in many previous posts to give full info on the device. it's not like you can't get international version in Canada. my brother send me a while ago Nexus i515 AT&T with embedded sim chip. so who's responsibility it was? mine. and all I needed to do was to wire the sim slot right to embedded chip, and find a rom specifically for i515, but that took some Google searching first.

I flashed MJ5 Bootloader faaar before, when I was flashing the second version of this Rom. Btw I'm still having freeze and random reboots, when I have a glance at the logcat I have seen some" EnterpriseContainerAgent" errors. Beware, I think KNOX is still integrated on these ROMS. :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] omdevsinh:
Which phizy recovery version you used ????
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] methoddon1:
you wait for Samsung boot animation to run its course then the device usually buzzes, screen gets dimmed a bit and in few it loads up.

The animation is not showing up, just the note 2 splash screen then pitch blackness. :crying:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] methoddon1:
listen, regardless from what anyone says, and since I'm not familiar with Mac or Canadian note 2, I would personally try and try to restore, but that's probably another useless suggestion. you need to go to your device forums, do some researching, because, so far, none of ours helped. is there nothing like Odin for Mac to get you to flash any rom through download mode?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] silentvisitor:
I think you meant MJ5 bootloader.

You can't downgrade to any other bootloader after MK4. That's why its not recommended.

Possible course of action would be:

1. Flash MJ5 Stock ROM by [MENTION=298152]Kunal[/MENTION].shah through ODIN.

2. Flash PhilZ Recovery through ODIN (do it after you have booted into your new ROM. Shutdown and restart in Download mode)

3. Flash DN v3 through PhilZ recovery

4. Reboot into Recovery after reaching Home screen first time.

5. Flash OTA updater.

6. Update your ROM.

Enjoy :)

Yeah use root explorer and navigate to /system/ then edit build.prop and change the 320 values (2 of them) to 240 (i find 260 to be ideal).

Save and reboot and you should be done without any bootloops.

As people already told you: go to the correct dn3 thread... This one is for N7100. How many times should they tell you that? No one could help you better than i317 users so go to that thread that they linked you please....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] edan1979:
i suggest you flash with odin your stock official frimware to fix your phone first. hope everything are well.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] titooo7:
Are you also using stock kernel?? Did you flash other kernel recently?

It's really weird what you mentioned about container enterprise because we removed it from the rom...

Someone in the team will have a look to your logcat, but if you are in stock kernel and MJ5 bootloader you shouldn't have any random reboot issue.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] opethianskies:
Never messed with Kernel since I haven't known much about it, and I'm running MJ5 Bootloader, Full Wiped all the data cache system before flashing and for a few days I'm having random freezes and reboots :(

The error name is this: ContainerPolicy Service is not ready.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hosgor45:
First charge your phone 100% than go to phone dial then enter *#0228# and wait couple seconds and menu pops out at the bottom you will see "quick start" hit the button and your battery depans on your phone goes down from 100 to 94% (in my case) on my s4 it went down to 85% so whatever percent it goes down charge it again to 100%. You are good to go. It works but dont know the details why it works and how it works.

There was a member who post these details around page 820 or 840 I cant remember who did it but I made a note and tried it.

Good luck.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
You misunderstand me--I,too, am getting much better battery times than I have ever got from any other ROM--always around 24 hours plus, sometimes 30 hours plus--but, what I am saying is---SO WHAT?? We all have mains chargers, unless we are nomads living in tents, and what's wrong with charging the phone--my Note2 'USED' to need charging every day, and on some ROMs, it would be running out during the day, and if I didn't have a car charger I would have been in the Sh*t--but, with DN3 V.3.1 plus--no such worries.

Just saying, though, why are we worried if we occasionally need to charge the phone???

just wanna ask a small Q regarding your post... what do u mean by flashing in your post?

did u mean u flash the rom or u flash the mj5 bootloader?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] opethianskies:
Flashing means installing rom

It is meant installing ROM from Recovery here...

ROMS can be ODIN flashing as well.

And MJ5 BootLoader can only be flashed by ODIN.

So in order to return to the current state, just need to flash stock 4.1.2, no Knox issues or anything :o ?

Sorry sir.. i really like this rom... but i want crt off effect.. any suggest... ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Meriem:
JellyBean 4.1.2 firmware is "old thing".

JellyBean 4.3 firmware is "new thing".

The change from "old thing" to "new thing" never causes issues.

The change from "new thing" to "old thing" causes issues: Knox issues if you have a rom no Knox-free + IMEI corruption anyway due to Samsung bugs.

So, simply flashing 4.1.2 is not enough.

You need verify you backed-up your 4.1.2 EFS partition.

To go back to 4.1.2 stock you need to triangle-away your device and wipe recovery modded and flash the original one and then reinstall stock 4.1.2 and restore EFS backup.

Sowewhat tricky.

Samsung does not encourage modded roms....

So, think twice before you do anything.

At last you get a bricked device and need to carry it to assistence paying bill for warranty avoided.
