How do I check which bootloader I'm on, 4.1 or 4.3....?

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Turn the phone off. Then press and hold the power, vol-, and home button all at the same time until you see the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen then let go. You will see a page asking you to press the vol+ button to enter download mode (go ahead and do that). Then look for any text that says Knox. If it doesn't say anything about Knox at all then you are on 4.1.2. If it has any text that says something about Knox you have 4.3 bootloader. Hope it helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alex1x:
Thank you. Did that, didn't see anything about Knox, just odin etc.

I was on Tweaked 4.1, I flashed MrRobinson 4.3, booted just fine, then flashed Jedi and got stuck on Galaxy Note 2 screen for 15 mins, tried twice same. Now I'm on Omni 4.4.2 and everything is fine. I took 8 month flashing break and I feel like a total noob.

I'm able to load mrRobinson 4.3 with everything working, I assumed that would automatically update my bootloader to 4.3, unless I was supposed to flash some kernel?

lost :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
You need an official release that had the bootloader.

Go to Sammobile.com and find the file for your device.

The flash it through odin. It's in a zip so you need to extract the filename.tar.md5 first.

Every time I try and fkash the rim I get stuck at the end of aroma, when it says cluck next right before it reboots. Constantly have to pull tbe battery. Ni sure what um doing wrong. Tried clean installs from x20, master 18 wven tried a dirty flssh git nothing, just a constant frozen screen at the same place. Any help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
Ugh, all I can say is it happens to everyone. Only solution I have heard is to keep trying.

I think I one did a nandroid restore and then got it to flash afterwards but I think it was coincidence.

When it freezes on me. If it finished already I just pull battery and boot. If it wasn't finished I try again. If it was finished and I reboot then if it hangs on the galaxy screen then I factory reset and reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ianchua:
If Aroma finished flashing the rom and got stucked at the end,Just hold power button till the phone reboots,No need for battery pull.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Whenever Aroma freezes on me I take 2 or 3 shots of Patron. Then I try again. If it happens again, another 2 or 3 shots of Patron.

At this point, if you haven't already lost all concern as to whether the ROM flashes, one more freeze, and one more application of the solution should resolve the issue for about 48 hours.

Good luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShrekOpher:
This is a known issue with aroma. There is an error related to if the phone is plugged in or not. If it freezes try running it again with the phone unplugged, or vice versa, if you were already unplugged.

This has been the only fix that had been found to work on most devices.

Pulled it from my jedi master or jedi x2 don't remember now. But did the trick. Thank you for all your help

I was having some horrible battery drainage on my Note 2 1317m model and noticed that the phone wasn't going into sleep and instead, the cpu was staying at around 1200 MHz, the whole time. So, what I did was, I went under Jedi Rom Tricks > Advanced> Fix permissions and wipe cache+dalvik cache and reboot. This seems to have fixed the battery drainage for me a bit and now when the phone is turned off, it also seems to clock down as well.

For folks whose cell connections keep dropping every few minutes, you should go under Wanam Xposed>Security Hacks> check Disable SEAndroid and reboot (make sure you have wanam xposed module enabled under xposed installer) or you can install a custom kernel compatible with this ROM such as the Devils kernel which will fix this problem.

Also, if your phone freezes after you select "next" when the installation is complete, what you should do is, next time when the installation is complete, don't touch the phone for about 5 minutes and then select the "next" button to reboot properly without freezing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] alanmv567:
Can you pm the directions on how you did this? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
I was having the same issue on a t889, but a cache wipe wasnt enough. I had to factory reset. This goes to show that it wasnt the roms fault. I was also having terrible performance. Lag like you wouldnt believe. Even when you call in for tech support, a factory reset is always suggested by the technician.

This is an experimental option in wanam. For some reason, it worked for me for a bit. Then I decided to find out why it didnt work for others and ended up breaking it for me. In the end, the most user-friendly option is the SELinux Mode Changer app from the Play Store.

It may seem like im being an arrogant ***, but I'm just sharing info on what happens when the steps you suggest may not work. As always, refer to the unofficial faq http://zuck.com/xda/JediMasterX-FAQ.html

Whats "not fully functioning" in the Verizon build?

Hi guys, first I'm sure this has been asked somewhere in the previous 1000 pages of thread, but I cannot find where. I would like to know what is not working on the Verizon I605 version of this rom. I've read (probably) close to 100 pages of this thread but cannot find that information, and I understand that I have probably missed it many times. So, sorry for the (very probable) re-asking of a previously covered topic, but I would really like to know. Thanks in advance guys.

p.s. When I don't select Wanam, phone will boot :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
There really hasn't been a whole lot of chatter on the Verizon variant. I suspect they function the exact same. You'll just need to find your specific modem baseband. Refer to the unofficial FAQ for a rundown on common issues. http://zuck.com/xda/JediMasterX-FAQ.html

Try flashing without wanam. You can always install it later from within xposed. But, before you do that, make sure you Check your MD5. If it keeps failing, you may have a bad download. And a bad download = a bad flash.

Just want to be sure...if I flash this b4 the rom I will be good for the firmware upgrade. I have not upg from stock still on x17

Thank you! Everything booted up fine without wanam, now I can't turn on wifi... I select wifi on and it turns off. Please help a noob, I took a 9month break and I feel totally lost lol. (When I installed su, it did ask to disable KNOX and I didn't, so I'm assuming I'm on 4.3 bootloader because I installed official 4.3 and rerooted)...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
If you want to keep your non Knox bootloader just flash agni kernel or devil (I prefer agni). Alternately you can flash the Wi-Fi patch that Dr Ketan built. I have been very happy with agni.

If you don't care about your bootloader, go ahead and factory update, kies update, or Odin the factory files. The Knox bootloader is a one way street at this point.

So will there be an update to make this a perfect ROM or is this pretty much abandoned? I know devs are busy but I'm just curious if I should bother holding out or just move onto something else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
I think you should make your own decisions about when and what roms to use.

Everything on XDA is free. And one of the very few things asked of members is to not ask for etas.

Not to mention, this has be discussed several times already. When time is permitted, it will be updated. Which, if you had searched you would have seen a post about it from yesterday or maybe the day before.

So please, search before posting and don't ask for etas.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] guruvince:
Hi, longtime nuB here. I'm having some issues getting this running correctly, any help is appreciated. I'm currently running an at&t i317 with jedi master 18 on the tmobile network. It's great, but I want to upgrade to this 4.3 x2 rom. I thought I had it right, but my reception was so poor that my data was unusable, and my phone was constantly searching for service and the battery would die within a few hours. As for my installation I first flashed a stock at&t 4.3 rom by way of odin with full wipe, then flashed the jedi master x2 by cwm recovery. Phone boots, but has terrible reception now??? Is ther another kernel or modem I should flash? Anyone else with an i317 on tmob have a similar experience? Again any help is appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ianchua:
1.After flashing,You got to let the rom settle for a few days.

2.Did you clear and calibrate battery stats after flashing the rom.

3.For Data/Reception drops issue,Download SELinux Changer from the play store/Download and flash AgNi Kernel to simply fix the problem.

4. If you still have any enquiry,Visit the Unofficial Jedi FAQ by [MENTION=4313736]vebulous[/MENTION]

YIKES!

Anybody know what would cause your battery to drain steadily to 6% in about 4hrs? I have no new apps on the phone and ran on this ROM for like 4 days with no problem. Last night I installed NOVA Launcher and implemented my backup as I always do and then BANG! here we are. Any ideas? I had Nova on every single ROM I have ever used so I don't think that's it. I turned the phone off at 6% and have it charging now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Install better battery stats or something similar and see what's keeping your phone awake.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Download cpu spy and run it next time you notice battery drain. I'm willing to bet your phone is not deep sleeping from the well known mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock (this can be confirmed by bbm) from Android 4.3

I had said problem.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I will test all the suggestions starting with the wipe / permissions one first and then move from there. I'll report back soon.

Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dublus:
If you find out you are having out of control wakelocks that are killing your battery try this: NEVER remove your phone from charging without first turning on the display. Once I made the connection between the wakelocks, the screen state and removing the charger I only got the wakelock once during the following month because I didn't notice the screen was off when I took my phone off my wireless charger. Before I was having wakelock issues a couple times a week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gorguts:
Still no luck, gonna bail on Jedi tonight I guess...

Clarify something for me, wakelock? The device doesn't wake from sleep on its own if that's what you mean. Every time I turn on the device the battery just drops and drops. I installed those apps suggested by the other folks and saw nothing crazy beyond android OS at like 67% battery use which seems like a lot if the device is just sitting on my desk. I did not install any apps, just updated the google ones so it is not 3rd party app related.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dublus:
In Better Battery Stats under "Other" there are "Partial Wakelocks" and "Kernel Wakelocks". That is where you will see whether your phone is being prevented from entering a deep sleep state to conserve battery while you aren't using your phone. If you don't see anything strange there then you are OK. It sounds like that isn't your problem since you are losing battery while you are using the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
A wakelock prevents the phone from entering deep sleep.

You can see too in trickster if the cpu isn't mainly in deep sleep you have a wakelock.

You can use a battery stats app to see what causes it.

Don't flash a modem for a different model on the note 2. This can (and has) lead to significant sadness.

Flash the uvalk8 modem and go through the process. It's the modem that is important, the 4.3 TW ROMs will allow it but the 4.1.1 modem is key.

Experience on i605 using TMO SIM

I am running this rom on a verizon i605 on T-Mobile's network after having switched recently. Everything works including wifi calling. All I had to do was go into the hidden menu while on a vzw rom and unlock the TMO frequencies and make sure the APN was configured correctly.

Issues:

1. Random reboots - i deleted my huge SMS history database (thinking it might be a memory issue) and it seemingly helped but it still happens especially in weaker coverage areas.

2. Cant dial out after a call finishes while traveling in car and have to airplane mode toggle (seems to be related to not locking on to towers properly while in motion)

3. Echo during wifi calls

4. Battery drain - probably related to 1 & 2 above

5. I get TMO 4g UMTS & 2g Edge service but not LTE even though I enabled LTE Band 4 in the phone's hidden menu. I have never seen a 3g signal indicator oddly enough.

Either way I did manage to shoehorn this onto the i605. If anyone has any ideas on any of the issues above due to similar experiences - please let me know what I should try and do. Any kernels that people have found to be better than stock for this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Agni kernel for sure but there's devil kernel also. Search Google you'll find them. Should help with most of your issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
It could also be a well know wakelock mdm_hsic something or other.

It could also be Google services. Which has been running rampant lately and ruining battery life.

Or it could be a first party app.

Could be an email account syncing.

Could be some other app trying to run in the background.

Could be that you just flashed it and it takes a couple days to settle.

I could sit here and speculate all day but if you don't want to put in the effort to run bbs for a day or two and post a lot containing the wakelocks there is nothing me or anyone here can do to help you.
