Sorry people I'm trying to hurry and upload this for stvn. I changed one thing and it put my phone into slow motion so I'm fixing that now. If I didn't have to keep reloading ROM's I would have been done by now :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Use mobile Odin. Worked for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
What did you use mobile Odin for the wifi patch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
Looking forward to when u guys finish this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Ok everything is working except air command at the moment. The ROM needs to be de-bloated from all the Verizon stuff which is no big deal. No major issues just flash the firmware update to get wifi. I'm passing this over to stvn for the final touch ups. Thank you guys for being so patient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moosiemooses:
Dude...Thank you all for giving us this rom and all your time!

I hope your son is doing better. Old enough for ginger ale? It helps:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
It has been a very long day, and a very bumpy ride for SkyNote. I Hope to have a release candidate ready soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Yeah. Saved it, installed mobile Odin, loaded files it rebooted and flashed em fine. Moved on to the official vzw 4.3 used it for that as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bama17:
Worked for me too :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcip17:
I have working data and wifi on bean's deodexed 4.3 without the firmware and I'm still on vrall modem and I only have the wifi fix from skynote flashed on my phone from a couple of days ago. Should I not have data or wifi working without the odin firmware patch that beans supplied? btw I flashed the rom with philz cwm recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
Hope your son is doing better, my two kids were sick as well, so I know the feeling man.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vancampff:
I believe it's the same wifi fix and once you do it you don't have to ever do it again..... but I could be wrong.

I have never used mobile odin, will someone walk me through the steps... don't know about extracting the files or anything. So a beginning to end tutorial would be great...thx in advance.

I have done it on my pc but before I purchase mobile version want to know how it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Thank you.

He is definitely old enough but he won't drink it, he is drinking sprite and gatorade though.I hope its nothing more than a 24 hour bug :/ I'll probably get it next lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
This odin **** is driving me nuts I have it downloaded on the cpu but it won't open ughhhhhh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sgtguthrie:
Definitely looking forward to the new version of this rom. Thanks for all the hard work. I'm sure the wait will prove worthwhile :)

Try the link in the OP under "WIFI PATCH FIX". If that does the same thing, then maybe it's the computer. What windows version is your computer running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Running windows 7 and it's the cpu fing thing just doesn't want to open odin

Firmware

Hello, I assume you cannot ODIN the FIRMWARE until we have flashed Z4? I keep getting error code in ODIN when trying to flash the

newest Firmware?

Thanks for all your hard work DEV's even with sick kids you are trying to get this beast out! I appreciate your work and will donate some coffee later...

***never mind I am sorry had a bad download, re-downloaded and the bugger ODINed just fine!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kenylove:
The firmware should work regardless. Maybe you are trying to load a zip file instead of an md5 or tar file...? Just wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
It's coming up as a .rar not jar

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Mobile odin is not working for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Coffee and tylenol is always appreciated :good::laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
two things to try, first is try running as admin.

second try placing odin in the root of your C:\ drive and running it. Im not sure why but this advice has seemed to help others before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Don't purchase. Odin Lite is here on XDA free to members from Dev and it works just fine.

DL install like an app, it'll say you need plugin and take to thread. Scroll down to i605 plug in, install like an apk. Download the fix, odin will see it, run it, it'll reboot and its done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kenylove:
Ok, that means you have to extract the actual file from the RAR.

You can use a free tool like 7-zip - http://7-zip.org

The Odin file should look like 3 squares with the letters F and M on two of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moosiemooses:
Out of curiosity will flashing the file through Odin change of fix anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I've got that file using 7 zip sitting on my desktop but it fails to open it says "are you sure you want this program to makes changes to this compute" I click yes and odin opens and shuts in the blink of a eye
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
It'll make your Wi-Fi work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Nothings working not odin not mobile odin I'm doomed to this mediocre att devil kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moosiemooses:
It always has worked. Nothing else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Did mobile odin flash from the param and modem folders?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kenylove:
Doesn't sound too good. Restart your computer and try running Odin again. If it acts the same way after restarting, you may need to have your computer checked for viruses.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Ugh, guess who was in bootloader unlocking hell, trying to remember how to install TWRP? This guy ... anyway, I'm going to flash RC9-1 and start adding some suspected RIL culprits to build.prop in hopes of getting something up and running that allows us to use SMS.

Here goes nothing ... And yes, I'm backing up first.

Galaxy Gear

And in case anyone cares, the Galaxy Gear works BEAUTIFULLY with this port.

Great job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
Can someone post a log for failed SMS send so I can take a look?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaeTazzCee:
I'm using GO SMS, and haven't had any issues with SMS at all. Won't be able to test MMS right now because of the network I'm on and by the time I get back to the states, there will probably be a fix in place. How to adjust the ROM back so it reads Verizon instead of AT&T? Or can it be adjusted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
Verizon doesn't exist overseas, my guess is you're roaming on AT&T, which is why sms is working for you and your network says AT&T.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] whojabacod:
Gosms you can disable stock SMS completely and use their server and it works you have to go into advanced setting also change the messaging apk to rename and add the extension .bak to the messaging.apk also you can try going into phone settings and turning on send SMS over ims and enabling LTE dump also make sure youre on the american band in settings of phone settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Keeping Root

There are still some Knox files in this build. I'm going to use Root Explorer to search for and remove them from my device to see if it helps with keeping root. :confused: There are four or so of them, one of them is something like the Knox switcher and it's an APK ...

com.sec.knox.store -- this is a folder

sec_container_1.zzzKnoxLauncher.apk

KNOXModeSwitcher.apk

(something else I forgot, sorry)

EDIT: Looks like it worked. I am not losing root when I restart anymore. I'm going to jump into TWRP to wipe dalvik/cache and fix permissions, and see if I still have root ...

Keeping root has been WAS my main problem ... it is very distracting to have to figure out how to regain root after restarting, and I'm not too keen on re-flashing my backup every five minutes. So far, re-flashing the chainfire SU.zip in TWRP is working so ... that's less "scary".

[MENTION=1999105]krazykrivda[/MENTION] I'm also trying to figure out a way to get a failed SMS log because the problem doesn't seem to show up in any logs I am able to generate.

I am not a dev so I'm limiting myself to the things I can't totally botch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Im not sure if romoving the knox apk and getting rid of these files in the build itself would work. I'll test it and see. But, even if thats not an option, I may be able to freeze the knox security and files on every boot.. also is everyone showin SeLinux - Permissive or Enforced?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Permissive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] locolbd:
Thanks for the advice, but i tried that and still was unable to send an sms :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
RIL issues

According to [MENTION=3057569]Hero[/MENTION] :

Have we tried this? Say, pulling from the framework-res.apk from S4 4.3 and stealing the eri.xml file from that? He has a post here How to Port US S3 roms between carriers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069850 that could prove helpful.

Unfortunately, I don't have a PC that I can work on this with ... I have a Mac and I don't trust it for doing dev stuff and my Windows 8 "machine" is sloooowwwww as helllll, I want to set it on fire and bury it in the back yard.

I have everything about this Sky Note port up and running that I ever could want, I mean it's PERFECT. Except for SMS.

I'm not losing root anymore, my Galaxy Gear gets all of the notifications I could ever want, and TouchWiz launcher crashes when I'm installing apps but that's all very minor in the greater scheme of things.

I think I've hit my knowledge ceiling though ... so the only contributions I can make are by finding things and testing builds.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

By the way, since we're able to receive but not send, if you're as dedicated to making this thing work as much as I am, there's always the Verizon website. You can just log in using your MyVerizon account, and reply or send texts from there.

:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaeTazzCee:
I understand that Verizon doesn't exist in the states. No one said that the SMS issues were only confined to the States and to Verizon's network. Have been seeing different posts of people on different carriers having the same issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Thing is, the SMS issue IS confined to those of us in the States, on Verizon, using this particular build. I have searched up and down and would likely have found a fix to try by now were this a widespread issue. But from what I can discern, there is still some AT&T "jazz" going on in the framework that was ported over, in addition to the fact that Verizon made some pretty aggressive changes between previous versions of the radio interface code.

On top of that, most of the "seasoned" devs have moved on to the Note 3 :rolleyes: even though earlier on, it was, "Oh it isn't even that much of an upgrade."

I'll just say that the Note 2 on 4.3 feels like a brand new phone, and we could really use more people who are still dedicated to it. What's going to happen is that when Verizon releases 4.3, CASUAL will likely be rendered unable to exploit the boot loader, and we may not have people who are able to get a new exploit up and running. So roms like this one will be the safest way to go.

The Note 2 is by no means is anywhere near outdated and I'm sad that so many devs felt the need to jump ship to the 3.

Anyway, I hope others continue to work on this port ... It can and will be made to work, even if it's just me left and everyone goes and gets the 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
I very much appreciate the work everyone is putting in on this. Just a terrific job.

But there's no need to get so discouraged. Many of these top devs have continually tweeted that they are simply waiting for 4.3 to roll out for us and they will put something together.

I installed last night and I see the issues with SMS, but I'm having other issues as well. Wondering if anyone else saw the following:

Cannot get WIFI to turn on

Cannot use S Pen keyboard (actual handwriting function on keyboard)

No T9 version on this note keyboard

I just had running for about 15 min and noticed these things. Just looking for someone to confirm they saw these same effects?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Wifi worked for me I did not try the other stuff on your list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I haven't had trouble with wifi either, have you applied the wifi patch previously and did you clean flash ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
Yes to the clean flash.. Couldn't get it to turn on during the initial set-up walkthrough. I bypassed, signed in manually to google, updated apps, restarted and tried again.

I have not tried a wifi patch. I will go look for that and apply it. I want to see what bugs I can work out of the ROM, but want to focus on the bugs that are not just isolated to me. Is anyone seeing anything else other than the SMS issue? I may take a crack at it tonight if I have the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
On mobile odin you can try to extract the param.bin and flash it in the param slot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
What folders did you put the program in on mobile odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vancampff:
Went into Mobile Odin and selected open file. Selected the new firmware I downloaded and it put a file in modem and param. Went towards the bottom and flashed firmware. It rebooted. Originally everything on home screen was.....pulsating so I rebooted again and it stopped but still can't switch on wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:

Try again? First I've heard of that. Several have reported zero issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
So for this new version of the rom I will have to use odin to flash the Verizon firmware? Sorry I may have misread it. I don't currently have the windows 7 pc at my home. I guess what I'm asking is I can't just flash it from recovery like any other rom?

Skynote 4.3 Rom'd Note 2

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Also, if I flash the new firmware I will not be able to go back to stock if I decide to correct? ( I'm assuming there is no stock Odin file to return me to 4.3 stock/unrooted?)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I've tried 7 times on mobile odin and each Tim I reboot to find my wifi still won't lock this mobile odin is as big a joke as the pc version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vancampff:
Let's not get carried away. Odin is kinda important as to were we all are as far as development. Mobile may not be working for us in this case but it is for others....which seems to be the case with everything on here. Odin is how I rooted and am able to use the work of these great devs. How bout you?

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

Men to quote the post above me...sorry.

I recall somewhere someone saying to remove md5 at the end of the file name, after .tar. Is that correct? Currently looks as follows .tar.md5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
You can bounce between firmwares. I'll look into making a flashable zip for the firmware in the morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
Sorry to be a bother but can you dumb that down for me. Like barney style lol. In order to do this ill have to have the new firmware. But to go back to say rz92 I'll have to have another firmware correct?

Yes you will have to flash the new firmware to get wifi you do not need to stay on that firmware after you flash. I have put 3 different Firmwares on my phone since flashing mj9.

If you decide to go back to rz92 you can stay on the mj9 or choose another FW.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
Ok so to be clear if I decide to go back to stock 4.1.2 I won't have to do anything special. Just put it in download mode, hook it up to odin and flash the stock unrooted?
