Guys, which recovery AND VERSION is best to flash in order to flash this ROM?

Is Phil's OK? I see these as latest, guess I'd need

philz_touch_6.02.1-n7100.tar.md5

because I need to flash it through ODIN....

Thanx!

[MENTION=465173]betoNL[/MENTION] does swiping to take a screen shot work for you?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jarayn:
it works fine.

It has to be the silliest way to screen shot ever though. Just do power and home.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
Yes...

You have to enable it in /Palm motion, in phone settings..

Read the past 3 pages and you have your answer i have linked "Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit" and a stock Samsung rom to fix bootloops and the lose of phones recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
I have the recovery, recovery is just fine. It started AROMA, and when I select language, OK, then select options to install and press NEXT and it just freezes.... so for the time being returned to (flashed via ODIN) 4.1.2 ....

Now, the question is - what do I do in order to install CRISKELO correctly?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pumper1128:
Anybody can help??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Zionator:
If you still have the recovery the reflash this rom but this time make sure to wipe internal sdcard.

If it still dont work then try the newest TWRP recovery.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Always do a full wipe no matter what if you ask me. I always do full wipe of phone and internal sdcard and i never have any problem. I use to be a flashohilic so i have tried many roms but i am settling down with this rom and it works perfectly.

So try the full wipe and format sdcard. Flash this rom then superwolf or what ever theme you use then "if 240 dpi needed" flash that mod.

I am using this rom with superwolf theme + Galaxyman theme + 240 dpi mod = No problem at all :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
I get amazing battery performance on both Stock and Devil kernels.

I don't use TW Launcher nor themes, except some minimal theming I do myself with Wanam exposed ...

Hello,

I seen there question about problem, which I have, but no answer..

I installed your rom, it looks amazing, but is possible use my samsung account anyway?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sergiish:
I had the same issue. I've fixed it. Just flash TWRP recovery or philz 5.0.... It's issue of latest philz recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
I have the latest recovery 6.02 i think.... hope this is it. Will try with 5.0 tomorrow, thanx for the tip.

Zionator:

How can I erase internal SD card - the ROM image is on internal card!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
I don't understand your question..

As far as I remember, you can enable Samsung account within aroma installer, or it's already included ...

dear [MENTION=2386686]criskelo[/MENTION] and team criskelo

i recently flashed my wife's n7100 to this. having followed your rom since n7000 days, i am still proud and happy to say that your roms are ultimately fantastic.

followed the steps in OP, cleaned everything including internal sd. flashed the wifi fix .tar file via pc odin. ALL WORKING WELL. as in the stuff she uses is all working well.

awaiting your next rom for more eyecandy and goodies.

yes there were random reboots every now and then. i dont think it should pose much issue since the reboots are quick unlike the reboots in n7000 (takes forever). its a good step though. at least my wife doesn't need to key in her gmail add after each reboot. loving it.

kindly keep up the fantastic work. looking forward for more improvements and the usual criskelo magic.

CRT-off & all.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sergiish:
I'm not sure. But I checked this twice. Latest philz gives issue with Aroma.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
Damn, is there anyone using 4.3 WITHOUT the reboots??? Sorry but reboots are simply unacceptable!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
I don't have any reboots...

And with all MK4 based roms I tried like DN3, dr.Ketan , Phoenix...And specially on Criskelo Rom ...never had

Maybe once or twice when trying different OC/UV settings...

However.... I don't use 3G, TW launcher and have SNS apk always frozen.

Usually , stability issues ( reboots, freezes, etc.) occur when you are trying different tweaks with certain apps or mod kernels...

So, if you don't really know what you are doing, don't go there..

.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mamran:
U r right...

Too much tweaking can cause problem..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Zionator:
Well you can get the possibility to sign into your Samsung account if you choose to flash the Samsung app pack during the aroma when flashing this rom. If you don't flash the samsung app pack during aroma install then you cant use Samsung account as it wouldnt be installed on your phone.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Well i would expect anyone with this phone to have an external sd. I my self have a 32gb extsd on my phone to carry roms, themes, mods and much more.

If you don't have that then wipe it anyways and when you wiped it just copy the rom on to newly formatted sdcard and then wipe the phone followed by flashing the rom. It's that simple. It's expected for people to think a little bit on there own :cyclops: It doesn't require any programming skills to do that :p

For all of those having problems with this rom. Don't blame the rom or the 4.3 as they are working fine.

I and many others have this rom working perfectly without any problems.

If you are having any problems then it could be many other reasons.

Recovery might be buggy or you didn't do full wipe on phone and internal sd or you are using unstable tweaks/mods or even faulty apps.

The reason i always wipe internal rom is that some roms store data on it which can affect other roms and cause problems.

I have been using Criskelo's rom's since i first saw it on the sgs 1 forums and its always been fast smooth and good on battery life.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sharkteef:
random reboots i face is still at an acceptable level. it's a long interval before i face it, not an hourly or a specific time based thing.

definitely did not do any oc/uv/kernel tweaking or anything. i mentioned before, clean install, full wipe of the entire lot, no additional programs and i do not use titanium backups or whatever. it just happens so i take it as my luck.

eager and looking forward to some criskelo magic on the next version.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
Damn I'll have to make a nandroid backup... I have backup of internal storage and SD card on my PC, plus Titanium on SD card (and in cloud)... that's why I don't like doing nandroid because I simply don't have enough room on my SD card (32gb) for all that backups :) Well, off go sygic maps to make room for nandroid :)

Zionator:

I know, but I thought t would be better to put it on internal because 1) if defaults from recovery to internal storage 2) I had enough room on internal but not on SD card :) :) Also, there are useful stuff on internal storage which I'd hate to lose. You say ROMS store their data there, that might be true, but I use only stock so I don't suppose they will differ that much (OTA updates work, even without erasing data, don't they?)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] DrHRH:
Help!

Hi,

I'm not exactly a noob - I've flashed probably 100 ROMs since I first entered the Android fray with my HTC Hero in 2009.

However I seemed to have messed up monumentally here - I encrypted my SD while using this ROM. The problem is, due to the frequent reboots I decided it would be a good idea to try to revert back to an earlier version via my TWRP backups WITHOUT decrypting my SD card. When I did this I ended up in a world of pain. I basically bricked my Note 2.

After many hours of nail-biting and stress, I eventually managed to get back up and running with a new install of this Criskelo ROM - V21 - I flashed Philz recovery via Odin and then flashed the ROM via recovery.

Now my SD card data is unreadable. It seems to be permanently encrypted.

It's a 64 GB card and there's about 24GB of photos and videos of my kids on there that I desperately want to get back.

Please can somebody advise if there's a way to decrypt it somehow?

Thanks in advance,

HRH.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
OK, flashed Phil's 5.x and it went well... now it is booting on Samsung logo... taking awhile but keeping my fingers crossed... YES! Welcome screen. Now I'll see for myself if there are any random reboots :) :) :)

So DEFINITELY there is incompatibility with latest Phil's 6.x.....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
That's indeed peculiar..

I didn't have these kind of issues with ANY other Rom I tried

Thanks for the feedback....

Perhaps Latest Philz is a bit buggy after all

Let's stick with Philz 5.x for a while longer

I will post some SD card Rescue programs later

It won't fix your SD but it can restore some files ....

.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] DrHRH:
Thanks so much betoNL. That sounds promising. Some of the videos are of my boy's first steps etc. Really precious stuff. Lesson is: always back up your phone's data regularly!!! I kept meaning to do it but been too busy. :(

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] smage85:
Greetings sveryone,

I have given up on repairing my IMEI and s/ number..

Just using the phone as a testbed for testing the ROM & stability until I get back to my home country on 25th, and let Samsung handle my effed up IMEI and efs for free (i was able to flash a rooted 4.1.2, triangle away and then install stock to reset counter so it works, not sure if there are any knox traces on my phone but I did not install knox so i should be safe probably?) .

So far, I believe the ROM (note 2) is rock stable with the stock kernel.

Devil kernel 1.9.8 works ok but it had a few device restarts, and I see no reason to use it right now if not for voodoo sound capability.

I posted a couple of times on both threads that the recommended Devil kernel version for Criskelo Rom is Devil2-1.9.7

Versions 1.9.8 and up are modified to attend DN3 rom which have all kind of issues when running Devil .

Haha finally got the note 3 with the watch. Giving this phone with this rock stable rom to my wife. For those having problems with this rom just wipe all and reflash it with stock kernel. This rom is very stable and smooth on this phone and is perfect for someone without the technical knowledge to sort out problems like my wife.

I wish you all good luck with you note 2's now my note 3 is calling :D

Can i install new bootloader with mobile odin?

Its just that i have mac and i dont have odin for mac
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] DrHRH:
Thanks again. The only problem is:

- my card is fine - shows up no problem in the phone and when connected to a computer and all the files are there.

- BUT - every single file on there is encrypted so I can't open anything.

Is there a way of decrypting the files?

Thanks,

sorry for stupid question, but really I had read whole 1st post but I still don't know is it MK4 bootloader or not?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
I think it doesn't have different bootloader, if you flash ROM, it will use your OLD bootloader, that's why you have to apply wifi patch or flash MJ5 bootloader - with old bootloader everything works except Wifi. MK4 can't be used since it contains KNOX (or it can, but you'd have KNOX installed then)....

Hello guys,

I'd like to change dpi to a lower value, I've done it previously in other roms by editing build.prop, but would that method work with samsumng apps? cos i've seen the thread with the universal mod to 240, but seems that it modifies framework, and i dont wanna go that way cos then fc's may start.

So any sugesstions??

BTW I'm happy with the Rom, and I'm happy to come back to Criskelo's kitchen, my fisrst criskelo's rom was in my old galaxy S i9000!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
OK, flashed Criskelo with NOTE 3 sw, been UP for 24 hours w/o restarting it and w/o random reboots. Some apps installed automatically from play store, some apps restored via Titanium, no problems whatsoever. Only 1 restored app wouldn't work, so that is really fantastic (i have a whole lotta apps).

Now, bugs. There are small bugs, so far I have discovered:

1) settings->general->security->Find my mobile->remote controls: there is no way to turn it on. I have installed Samsung apps. Under "accounts" there is no way to add Samsung account.

2) settings->general->security->Find my mobile->Sim change alert: "Unfortunately Settings has stopped"

3) Air gesture->Quick glance: randomly turns screen on w/o any interaction, then it's hard to get the "glance" screen to dissapear, always turns screen off even after I press home button

4) settings->device->lock screen->clock widget options->weather: "Unfortunately Settings has stopped" (possibly because I didn't install Yahoo news??)

That's it so far... :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Marek3:
so, which bootloader it contains?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
Noted , thanks

When you flash a mod Rom from mod recovery, you are not flashing any bootloader.

So you are using the actual bootloader you were using from previous firmware....

For the rest, read second post...

I cant be sure this rom is stable cause from yesturday when i flash phoenix rom it mess up my phone and it stuck and reboot with every rom i try to flash clean install. I dont know what happend.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Magic2009:
Hi, I've just bit the bullet and installed this new ROM, did 3 full wipes plus AHRD and Zoot wipes. Chose the Napalm wipe to clean the Note out completely after first backing up the SD Card and other important stuff to my laptop + a Nandroid to make sure :). ROM installed no problem..... but Titanium Backup wont restore anything, I have two different backups, apps only and a data/apps backup neither will complete properly either hangs or wont run at all -- anybody any ideas, I've cleared dalvik and cache, cleared data in apps to reset the prefs to no avail?? in the meantime I've Nandroided back to Phoenix until I get the TB issue resolved. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
As I already wrote: I think it doesn't have different bootloader, if you flash ROM, it will use your OLD bootloader

So it doesn't have any...

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

For me, Titanium worked. I just cleared system by "prepare for new rom flash" and again manualy dalvik/cache, didn't even erase storage...

So for the time being, 2 days+2 hours on Criskelo, no random reboots. Everything works fine except the problem with Samsung account. Maybe Samsung account is not part of ROM as somebody pointed out?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Magic2009:
Thanks -- I think I'll give it another go and see what happens, first time I've ever had this problem with TB, I thought it was me being impatient but after 15 mins sat on 0% I decided it wasnt me!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dalanik:
It sometimes happens with Titanium, I remember even the days when I had Desire HD it sometimes just got stuck. Probably bad backup or something. I forgot, since I restored apps in batches, one app didn't work for me as well, I had to erase backup in TB and install it again from Play, but that was only 1 unimportant app. So maybe it only got stuck on 1st app, try restoring not everything at once but like 5-10 apps at a time.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
Some versions of titanium can give problems on 4.3 firmwares specially when restoring data also and not only user apps.

So if you don't have Titanium's latest version, I recommend restoring user apps only no data...

Also, have a look at this:

Now Note 2 show "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

Now can i get back to recovery mode or any other way to fix it?

Just go to recovery by turning the phone off, press and hold volume up + power button + home button simultaneously and keep them pressed, you will enter recovery. then try wiping again and flash again.
