Torrents for ODIN Stock and Jedi MasterX2

Ok, so I see a ton of people having issues getting V2 on their device. Here is the only sure fire way to get things working 100%

Download my t889 torrent. Inside, you will find everything you need to get the t889 up and running on the latest 4.3 stock rooted firmware. I take no credit for the pre-rooted rom, odin, or twrp. I just packaged everything to make it easy for ya'all. Make sure to give thanks to the proper people as well in their threads -

Mr Robinson namely - Root66_ T989 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33738396

Yes this will trip knox counter. It will not break your phone, lock you out, or anything crazy that ive seen associated with knox. Simply put, it voids your warranty. If you are OK with this, continue:

DISCLAIMER! There's ALWAYS the possibility of something goofing up. Make a full nandroid first !

1) Unzip everything in the t889 folder

2) Boot phone into download mode (hold vol down and home while powering on)

3) Open Odin with administrative permissions. If your phone is connected to the web, the appropriate drivers should download. If not, use the universal naked drivers posted all over XDA

4) Select PDA button and navigate to the stock root66_TMO t889 md5 file. Leave everything else alone. If you see a com number in the upper left corner, you are ready to flash

5) Hit start

6) Wait for the phone to fully boot. Then power off. Reboot again into download mode

7) Flash the recovery I have attached. Its the latest and has yet to give me any errors flashing roms.

8) Reboot into recovery mode and flash Jedi MasterX2

I also recommend wiping everything before installing MasterX2 . Wiping Data, cache, dalvik, system, and media ensures no gremlins are creeping around in old 4.1 apps which have been known to cause conflicts on a 4.3 system.

This will fix most any issue you are having from mixmatched bootloaders, wonky kernels, incorrect radios.... and the likes. It should be noted that you may have to enable Wanam in exposed to set the Selinuxmode to permissive though if you do happen to experience signal loss.

You don't know what you're missing in the meantime! There are a ton of goodies already in x2 over stock. It's a night and day difference. Just some food for thought while you are waiting lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ilovemeow:
wondering is your torrent only for bootloader update? knox frre as well? and pos and neg? and this is for t889 only? not for n7105?

cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
This is the t889 full Odin flashable file. I'm not sure if you should flash this if you don't own a t889 as it includes the boot loader, rom, and stock recovery. Best to ask Mr Robinson in his thread I linked.

To anyone on the fence about upgrading to Jedi Master X from Jedi X or Jedi Master... JUST DO IT!

[MENTION=4488450]ptmr3[/MENTION] Thank you for giving me a new phone for Christmachah!

Lots of new functionality. Much faster. Apparent better cell reception (this could be imaginary, but seems like I'm getting more bars from more areas, and more 4G lte).

I'm looking forward to testing if the wifi calling works better as well.

And of course, all traffic turns to green as I approach, money suddenly appears in my wallet, and women flock to me as if I'm holding a Labrador Puppy.

My wife is not entirely pleased with that last one.

Edit:

Dirty Flashed and added 5x6 TW and 4.4 Camera and all is working great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] garydv2002:
Jon.... I have the rom downloaded and also the wifi/bootloader patch. Ive read everything and its not clear whether you flash the patch with odin first then the jedi rom or the rom first then the patch. Any ideas

Has anyone tried using bluetooth tethering? I got a Galaxy Gear for Christmas. Rooted it last night and flashed the Null ROM but bluetooth tethering isn't working. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Remember guys, this is the Jedi Master X thread. The dev has strongly suggested to stick with the factory kernel. If you, or anyone else would like to use the Devil kernel they can search it out. Please refrain from posting Devil info/updates here.

No disrespect, but I'd have to say it isn't a "crap kernel" as it provides many options not available with other kernels. As you know PTMR3 suggested it to relieve problems with v1...likely because it isn't crap.

That said, I agree with keeping it out of this thread.

Actually if I manage to get my computer running again and update my boot loader I would probably still use devil2.

The dev is pretty responsive and helpful too. I would not call his work crap.

Once you get it set right it's a great kernel. I'll probably keep it until saber comes out.

I do agree however we need to keep this business on the devil thread. I advice any devil user to subscribe to it to get updated.

I only posted that tip top prevent people from posting their issues this thread.

At the top right of every post has post number. Hopefully that guide you right!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssully150:
Some of this has me confused. These references to 1876 AND 1829 imply that sammobile.com has the proper tar files for an sgh i317... But it doesn't.

I read on another post that I could download a stock 4.1.1 tar, and triangle away to update? But it doesn't give the clearest way to do so. Plus, I'm already on master X2, but running devil, but would love to run the boss's kernel instead.

I feel bad asking, and I'm not trying to call out psycho, but is there another way? Perhaps an att specific bootloader/wifi patch that isn't a whole other kernel? The op mentions one, but I'm still searching...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Correct sammobile.com doesn't have the file yet for download but you can revert to stock and ota to 4.3, then Odin recovery, then flash rom and use wanam to set system to permissive. Boom everything is working better and faster than before. If in fact the att bootloader isn't locked. Research the bootloader on whether it's locked or not for i317 before you do this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mds2004:
For some reason it is saying I do not have service on my AT&T phone. I just did a full wipe and installed this ROM.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Does anyone have an understanding why we have to set to permissive? The stock rooted stock ROM with custom recovery works without it.

BTW: I have tried to install X2 about 10 times. I made it through the install twice. For the hell of it, I used Phil's CWM recovery. It wipes the preload, something I didn't see in TWRP (if you select "installing a new rom"). Anyway, it made it through the entire install with no freezes. Going to setup the ROM the way I like it and see if I am still getting data drops.

I've only heard good things about Phil's.

Could you post the link of the fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
[MENTION=4569607]psycho4us4[/MENTION], not trying to step on your toes, nor really get into any major disagreement, but...

In general it is pretty disrespectful to publicly call another developer's work "crap" to both that developer, and the developer community at large, when that person is dedicating their time and effort to offer something for free. If you don't want to use it, don't want ti recommend it, don't want to ever lay eyes on it, that is fine, but to publicly denounce the work seems a bit disingenuous when you consider that [MENTION=4488450]ptmr3[/MENTION] actually recommended it's use, even temporarily, for his first version.

You don't see [MENTION=4488450]ptmr3[/MENTION] publicly announcing he thinks the wrk is crap.

Anyway, just didn't sit right with me considering MANY people in this forum utilized the work.

Hope this doesn't offend you, just offering my reaction to the comment. Have MUCHO respect for all that you contribute, both work and knowledge-wise.

That being said, I was never interested in Flashing while the Devil Kernel was in play.

how do i know what bootloader i have

I bought this Note 2 unlocked on ebay, works great and been flashing both 4.3 and 4.1 roms with no problem. Just that i wanna install this Rom but it states i should be on 4.3 bootloader if i don't want to experience any problems.

How do I find out what bootloader I am on? I may already have 4.3 bootloader, i am not sure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
On another note I am not liking the new snote app.

My only use for it was the note page widget I could put on my desktop.

If anyone else is in my situation I found an app called lecture notes that does the job nicely.

Though it takes a bit of a learning curve to get started.

Turn phone off.

Press and hold power + volume down + home button

All at the same time.

If there is any text that says Knox on the top left,then your on 4.3. If not your on 4.1.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Well, one way to know is to just go ahead and flash the Stock 4.3 ROM and then you can be sure you have a 4.3 Bootloader.

Then you'll be well on your way to Jedi Nirvana...

I suppose there is some slick way of seeing what loader you have, but I'm not sure how to do it outside of installing a "Device Info" app from the Play Store, or just booting into Download Mode.

Edit:

And while I was typing the above [MENTION=4569607]psycho4us4[/MENTION] described how to boot into Download Mode. :)

Good Luck!

Ok, when I replace the SBrowser.apk with the file referenced in the post you mention (I copy in the file and rename it SBrowser.apk), using ES File Explorer - Root Explorer, my Internet icon in my App Drawer disappears and I am no longer able to choose the stock browser (Only Chrome or pop-up).

When I put the original file back, everything is as it was and I can see the Internet app in my drawer again.

I notice the file I downloaded from the link is "SecBrowser-VZW.apk". I also notice you are using a T889 device. Are you saying you simply replaced the SBorwser.apk with this referenced file and everything works fine?

If so, I'm jealous. If I'm missing a step, please let me know. If there is another Stock Internet Browser File I can use, please, some let me know.

Currently my Stock Internet Browser crashes often, and tends to TALK to me about what it is doing (very annoying) "Page Loading". I'm sure it is a setting somewhere, just haven't been inspired to hunt it down if I'm going to soon replace this file.

Any help appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Did you set the permissions for the file?

Should be rw-r--r--
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
Sounds like you need to look at your accessibility settings.

Browser is set up for blind people. Probably talkback

I never tried the stock browser, just froze it when I install the ROM.

Since it is recommended to do a full wipe to install is their anyway to backup all my apps and data to do a easy restore? I hate setting up my phone from scratch. I know there's titanium backup but I haven't used it in a while. Thanks in advance for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] austin912:
i believe in my opinion , using titanium to restore some data to apps is ok ( and has worked fine for me )

but other members have said restoring apps from 4.1.2 to 4.3 might cause issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Don't do system apps or data with titanium and don't do a batch restore when upgrading android versions. Do them one at a time and open them to make sure you don't get fc. If you do just fresh install from play store.

I've had problems before upgrading android versions on stock devices where I had to do a full wipe after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
If you allow your google account to sync apps, once you flash and allow the play store to sync, your apps will be downloaded.

If TiB is not your cup of tea, Helium (formerly known as Carbon) is another good alternative (made by the guy behind ClockworkMod Recovery). It backs up app data, so the backups should be smaller. Just so you know, some apps dont allow backup of data (not sure how and why, but I've seen a list of "Backups not allowed" in Helium.

It also backs up desktop preferences, texts and call logs

Your calendar and contacts should be handled by google sync.

I used to use AppBack to create a list of installed apps and once flashed, reinstall them one by one (it lists all of your apps, but you still need to install one-by-one, thats why the google sync thing is nice)

I've had issues with Titanium Backup, but it was most likely my own fault. Dont back up EVERYTHING and dont restore EVERYTHING. You'll end up restoring inconsistencies.

I didnt want to bring this up, but the new S Note app is very much lacking. Not sure if this is the full extent of its functionality or I'm just asking too much, but old S Note is superior in infinitesimale ways.

Thats for the suggestion on the play store app. I'm still going to try and restore olde s note with the very-much-missed popup note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
I don't know why it's not included in n2 4.3. They out both in n3 which seems a little redundant because action memo is the one you get for pop up and air command. But s note is still there... But I digress lol.

If someone wants to try the s note from the n3 I'll post it. It'll have to go into /system/app with permission rw-r--r-- I doubt it will bring pop up not back though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
I'll try it now please post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
File was rw rw r so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a permissions issue. But I went ahead and changed the permissions anyway to no effect.

Thank you, this sounded promising, but I didn't find any settings related to making, or stopping, the browser from talking in Accessibility settings, nor in the app itself.

Tried renaming the file back to SecBrowser-VZW.apk and Secbrowser-vzw.apk and neither worked.

Any other ideas?

I'll try downloading the file again, and rebooting the OS.
