Thanks mate. Then i stick to Stock. I have root and CWM ready :) Hope we het 4.4 soon from samsung
[General Questions and Answers] anamorphica:
Oh.. I missed this one. So perhaps you don't need help with debugging as you have the device on your own? If you do, I'l be ready to help you soon and if you don't I'll be more than happy to give feedback about functioning CM and some beta testing :)

I wouldn't wait for KK to this phone any time soon (if ever). Few sources said that express 2 would get official 4.4.2 update but there's no newer news about that I'm afraid. I've searched the whole internet regarding KK update but found nothing.
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
I also have some school stuff at the moment, after that I will start debugging myself. But if you have time you can also do it.
[General Questions and Answers] bihslk:
Do it guys. This phone deserves KITKAT.
[General Questions and Answers] juse8:
Please this phone deserves that and more to see if we are lucky thanks guys.:good::good:
[General Questions and Answers] shinra00:
I´ve been using this phone for the last 3 months, rooted with CWM from here (good job guys, really :good: ), without the ton of blootware it had and it works amazing. I am really impressed with how smooth it is.

If samsung releases the 4.4 for this device it means we will lose our current rooted version and have to do it all over again right?

I have one question for the rest of the owners, does your cell phone changes from wifi to mobile date automatically? I´m asking this because mine always prefer the mobile data since it works on 4g. It says that the wifi isn´t stable enough so it stays with the mobile data on. I´ve read on a galaxy 3 forum someone saying it had something to do with Caller ID Name that i should erase all data and turn it off but..mine doesn´t have it in the app manager, all apps tab.

It is kinda annoying to have to constantly turn on and off my mobile data when i leave and enter my office / home.

:)
[General Questions and Answers] Mario9662:
Yes it's automatic change...

I no download CWM for now, because waiting the version 4.4
[General Questions and Answers] shinra00:
Hmm ok thanks for the input.. dunno why but mine always prefer the mobile data.
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
Wi-Fi doesn't work probably because I didn't build PRIMA module. It seems that Samsung built it separately from the kernel that's why I had forgotten to enable it in my config. USB debugging should be working in the latest build I sent you. Anyway, I switched to working on CM-11 now, I don't see any point continuing CM-10.2
[General Questions and Answers] Mario9662:
For more debugging i'm available. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
I guess there will not be an official update to KK from Samsung for E2 http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/07...devices-getting-the-android-4-4-kitkat-update

Anyway, I have built CWM6.0.4.8 which will be needed to flash CM-11. (should appear soon @ my goo.im)

Such surprise..

Thank god you're up to it :) CM-11 on your post, is it usable? I quess "cwm-6.0.4.8-wilcox.tar.md5" is the recovery needed?
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
CWM should be usable and is required to flash 4.4 ROMs. That is the initial cm11 build, it should have +/- the same device specific bugs as on cm10.1 builds. Or maybe not.

can somebody try swapping kernels with previous cwm build?

[General Questions and Answers] :
[MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION]

do you have an e2 ?

if so, you could try yourself, so, I guess you do not have one, right?

have a nice day
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
Yes, I have it. But as I said a few days ago - I need my phone fully functional for the next couple of weeks, i.e., need to be reachable at all times.

Also, I don't think it is possible to brick the device by flashing recovery (in case somebody is wondering about this), it can happen by formatting the wrong volume or something like that, but not just by flashing the image. (of course you could flash it in the wrong partition, but I don't see how that could happen, Odin takes care of that :) )

I did a squashed update of some kernel parts for 4.4, I suppose that could explain why the 6.0.4.8 recovery isn't booting, that's why I asked someone to swap the kernels.

I just wanted to speed up the development process, if you want to wait for when I am fully available - that's completely fine. :)

[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
do you mean it hangs on Galaxy Express 2 logo? It could be possible that you have to wait 20-30 minutes, I had a similar problem with my other device. I thought it is not booting, but by accident I left it on and it booted. It's due to the SELinux

You could also see what "adb logcat" says
[General Questions and Answers] Mario9662:
No... Once you access the device's logo appears then disappears for 20 seconds and check a screen all black. After 10 seconds, the phone restarts and all part 0 with logo, black screen and reboot again.

Today I flashed cm-10.1. Not sure why but root access is not working, nor is logcat.
[General Questions and Answers] anamorphica:
I did mention about that when I was taking bugreports. And I mailed you few weeks ago asking if cf-autoroot after cm10.1 flash would be making sertain incompability problems but you never mailed me back. Did you get that mail? :)
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
Yes, I remember. This is quite odd. USB/ADB is working, but logcat isn't. I flashed SU binary manually, booted into system, it's not there.
[General Questions and Answers] anamorphica:
could it be KNOX? Do you find anything related to SU binary if you connect your phone to PC?
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
Probably not. If so, root wouldn't work on stock either
[General Questions and Answers] :
[MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION]

I assume you could recover root somehow, if not you could boot recovery (assuming it has adb and su) and mount relevant partitions to copy su and superuser apk of choice to their expected location (with expected permissions such as setuid bit for su).
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
Actually it seems that the su binary is there but it's not working
[General Questions and Answers] :
does it have setuid bit ? and what is its path?
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
Found some interesting code in the kernel. Will test and report
[General Questions and Answers] :
right : I think I recall sm-g3815 kernel does not allow setuid execution from certain locations.

so perhaps you refer to samsung configurations

CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING

CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_SETUID

CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_FORK

CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING_LOG

Yes, current issues on cm-10.1:

1) Cannot make calls, broken signal indicator (RIL is buggy) - this could be an issue with the RIL class, however, most (if not all) Samsung devices with Qualcomm modem use the same SamsungQualcomm RIL class on CM. Dunno why it is not working for E2

2) NFC is not working

3) Camcorder, panorama modes are not working - haven't yet looked into this.

4) ... probably something else

However, about NFC, E2 has a pretty rare chip (pn547) and the AOSP NXP stack is meant for the older pn544. This could be a problem.

[MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION]

I seem to run into same ...

I flashed as follows

heimdall flash \

--MODEM NON-HLOS.bin \

--SBL1 sbl1.mbn \

--SBL2 sbl2.mbn \

--SBL3 sbl3.mbn \

--ABOOT aboot.mbn \

--RPM rpm.mbn \

--TZ tz.mbn \

--BOOT boot.img \

--RECOVERY recovery.img \

--SYSTEM system.img.ext4 \

--CACHE cache.img.ext4 \

--HIDDEN hidden.img.ext4

where recovery.img is from cwm-6.0.4.9-wilcox.tar.md5

and the rest is from G3815XXUCNH1_G3815PHECNH1_PHE.zip

then from recovery/adb I installed su and SuperSu.apk to correct places with correct ownership/permissions, but:

SuperSu says: su not present and cannot be installed ...

Any clue? Do I need a special kernel (aka boot.img)?

I could build one myself (given appropriate .config) but perhaps the KK one already exists?

should I try boot.img from cm-11-20140721-UNOFFICIAL-wilcoxltexx.zip perhaps ?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] :
it says

There is no SU binary installed and SuperSu cannot install it.

I tried boot.img from cm-11-20140721-UNOFFICIAL-wilcoxltexx.zip but no way to boot recovery or system anymore...

reverted back to boot.img from G3815XXUCNH1_G3815PHECNH1_PHE

Boots OK but ... no GUI root, ... strange because /system/xbin/su is exactly same as when running 4.2.2 (as is SuperSu), namely: latest version. Also, adb does not su:

shell@wilcoxlte:/data $ id

uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats) context=u:r:shell:s0

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-01-01 01:08 su -> /system/xbin/su

su is /system/bin/su

I guess I may need a KK boot.img.

or ... any other suggestion?

OK I could try my previous stock G3815XXUBMK5_G3815VFGBMK5_G3815XXUBMK5_HOME boot.img, but, on a KK firmware, would that help?

You should flash stock recovery when installing stock ROM, it is needed. This morning I successfully rooted stock ROM just by using philz recovery

Sent from my SM-G3815
[General Questions and Answers] :
Thanks, you gave me hope to try harder ;)

fwiw: I had flashed your recovery as backdoor to keep adb root when booting in recovery (which indeed I have now).

Luckily I could root using CF-Auto-Root (heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --CACHE cache.img.ext4).

Just for my information: how would one root 'using philz recovery'?

Have a nice day
[General Questions and Answers] TheWhisp:
Both cwm and philz recoveries I have uploaded asks if you want to root your device if it's not already rooted. (Just before you reboot into system) Then you can manually install superSU and update the binary

[Galaxy Note II General] cbdrift:
Just been through training for KNOX at work - and without blowing my NDA's - i'll pass on this for you all

If you EVER want to use KNOX - and you run one of the leaked 4.3 roms - NEVER NEVER NEVER flash any custom binaries to the phone again - you can only EVER run an offical untouched rom.

If you ARE running a 4.3 rom - reboot your phone into odin mode and see if you have a KNOX warrenty bit set to 0x0.

if you do - and you EVER want to use KNOX (and after training - im going to be using it meself) - you now can not roll back - or install a custom kernel or pretty much anything apart from further factory roms.

If you install anything else - the KNOX and TIMA systems will blow a fuse on the motherboard of your note2 and you will get flagged with KNOX warrenty bit 0x1.

This is not reversable - ever - without a board replacment.

The only effect will be that you cannot ever run KNOX after this - private or enterprise versions.

The first leaked 4.3 rom didnt have this enabled - the second one did (UEMJ5).

This is enforced in the bootloaders - once you get it - you cant go back.

If you dont care about KNOX - go hard :) However if your are going to use a BYOD type setup at your work and they want to enforce KNOX and youve blown the fuse in the motherboard - to be blunt - you are screwed :) Its not reversable sorry.

If you dont know what KNOX is actually about (if youve read "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow think phone inside a phone type things) check out https://support.samsungknox.com/home and have a chew through it - there are some very good parts to it....

In any case - if you dont care about KNOX - go hard - nothing has changed.

If you DO care about KNOX - your not going to be able to change the firmware on your phone at all ever - if you do you will lose permanently the ability to run KNOX.

if you want to use your phone for work and work wants KNOX and your a custom rom person - your ****outaluck =)

And KNOX is not just the apk's..... its the entire stack from bootloaders upwards....

have fun peoples :)

I didn't think the Note 2 has the eFuse on its motherboard?
