So my contract with Verizon is up next month, I was wondering if the apn is really the only difference with other carriers or if I flash say a t mobile rom will I have a brick?

I'm changing carries obviously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Bummer. No more flashing for u. Unless safe strap comes available....

TaPpEd from my nOtEwOrThY N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
This question is off topic but briefly you only need apns. there's a good thread in general bout switching carriers and experience.

You may have problems with other variant roms so be sure to back up before and all that. Some may work some may not I have never tried and I recall there are maybe a few that will work. Don't know which.

Sophisticated v3 ROM update @ 43 hrs

Well its been 43 hrs since I switched to the Sophisticated v3 ROM and have not had one FC or random reboot and very good battery life so far....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
Yep, it was nice.

Noted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I've been running for weeks and have started to get fc on play store apps like air droid.

Apparently it runs in the background and did the fc even though I haven't opened it in 2 weeks.

I'm starting to want to flash something else lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
There's stuff out there. Go for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Couple questions.

1. I an on a cm11 right now. If I first flash a 4.3 TW ROM should I not have any issues using Odin to do the firmware?

2. If I get my fiance a note 2 and it comes with 4.3 couldn't I just Odin back to 4.1.2 to unlock or is that not possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
For your phone, first upgrade the firmware through ODIN, then flash a 4.3 TW rom through custom recovery.

For your fiance, if her's comes with 4.3, you can only root. You cannot go back to 4.1.2 without a brick. No unlocked bootloader as of now, so no rom flashing. I've read a few unconfirmed posts about being able to go back, but the overall concept is to accept 4.3 if you already have it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
OK thanks for the help.

It's terrible there are no new(er) unlocked phones out there on Verizon right now. Pretty disappointing. I know the s4 and note 3 have safestrap but I've never had great experiences with it so that puts me off a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Just got my first random reboot after like a month lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
For me once they started happening they got worse an happened more often.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Crash*N*Burn:
Well.....

Well found the first chink in the armor, my Suntrust mobile bank app is very very slow or wont display after login. I tried it on my SGS3 to make sure it was the ROM vs the service of the app. the SGS3 with Andriod 4.3 stock runs it fine..... Oh well

I guess there is no STOCK, Rooted MJ9 for the Notes 2 on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
There are some that are pretty close to stock, have you given them a whirl?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xan3x:
I get a random reboot here and there , I notice my wifi stops working and i have to reboot to get it back. Is there any fixes yet have not had time to really look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolfx35:
I have random reboots as well, kind of regret installing this. Any solutions coming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Since there are plenty of roms with these things fixed, why would you guys stay on this? You're asking for issues...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xan3x:
Any recommendations Hope?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
Start with Sophisticated or Alliance.

Noted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I highly recommend sophisticated, or meanbean. Two most solid fully stock builds. If you want crazy features that are still damn stable, Alliance or nebula.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
just a heads up this rom will run perfect just need to set ro.tima=0 its currently set ro.tima=1

thats the only issue with this base because set to on/1 it is looking for new bootloader and reboots

this edit is in the build.prop towards the bottom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
I don't seem to have "ro.tima" in my build.prop ....I haven't had any reboots though? Could not having "ro.tima" in my build.prop be why?

=========

Edit: found it, ro.config.tima , changed it even if I wasn't getting reboots...lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Znomon:
Yeah as far as I know this rom was supplied as is. And isn't really getting updates. It's just "stock" 4.3 touchwiz. If you want updates or features use a 4.3 TW rom that thanks beanstown cause it will use these files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnuts5423:
im not sure what im doing wrong, but im getting no signal. I went back to stock 4.1.2. casualed the root, flashed the firrmware, instaalled stock mj9 kernel, and installed the rom. Im getting no signal, my buddy who has a note 2 told me to flash the radio, which i tried, but it changed nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dancershrink:
Did you flash radios using Odin or from recovery? They must be flashed through Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnuts5423:
ok, thats what he told me, but all i could find was a cwm version? i googled and everything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dancershrink:
You can find the link for Odin on the How to Root sticky. You will need to install it on your computer and the flash the firmware package through it. Flash the rom as usual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnuts5423:
i dont see a link to modems in that thread. i see firmware, all the root files, casual, root66, the pit file, all the stock builds for the 3 different versions, etc. but no firmware. theres a cwm radio thread, but that obviously wont work. can you point a blind person to the odin version of the radio?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dancershrink:
The radios are included in the firmware posted in the op of this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnuts5423:
Thanks so much. I been at this since last night and for some reason I found a version that was just a tar file of the firmware. Didn't think that link was any different. Much appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Beans, why not just update the OP and get rid of the other zip and save future people the headache of reboots etc. That is if you have the time. Thanks again for all you do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
will do when i finish my rom been knee deep in smali the past week lol..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
This works great. It's ro.config.tima just to be precise. Not even a single reboot since 2 days. I am using the odexed version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] statustray:
How exactly can we edit the file for newbies? There's a line in there that we just change? I've been itching to try the Rom but haven't because of reports of the random reboots. Thanks in advance.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Root explorer. I didn't mean to thank you. You're welcome I guess lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Easiest way is via rom toolbox lite app available for free on play store. It has a build prop editor on 2nd screen (slide right)...search for tima and you will find it. Typically needs to reboot to take effect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
Several free build prop editors on Playstore....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nagasgura:
Am I doing something wrong? I put the toltevzw_mj9_official_firmware.tar.md5 file into the PDA slot in Odin, booted my phone to download mode, and ran Odin. It says pass, but I'm still on my old rom. What did I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
firmware is exactly that. firmware doesnt change your rom. go to settings<about phone and see what your baseband is

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

you have to flash the actual rom after using odin to flash firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MistahQ:

cannot upgrade JellyBean 4.3 I605VRUEMJ9 for 4.1.2

My phone is a Verizon SCH-605 Android version 4.1.2 and I tried to upgrade the JellyBean 4.3 I605VRUEMJ9 but not successful. First I tried to upgrade from Kies but after connected to it I got the message: "The device is not supported by Kies" I wonder why Kies could not recognize the phone but I then went to upgrade manually. I got the ODIN3 V3.07 and download file I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_VZW but after all I got the message: "MD5 hash value is invalid" and also "I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME.tar.md5 is invalid."

Can someone tell me that I was doing wrong or what i should do. Thanks.

Alternate Download Link

Can someone willing to give another download link (Dropbox maybe) for t0ltevzw_MJ9_DeOdex.zip?

'Cause every time I tried to download from http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197796, I got this message error:

{"INFO":"failed posted hashcheck","SOLUTION":"please make sure you have javascript enabled for androidfilehost.com. Hit the back button, enable javascript and try again please. we promise we are probably not doing anything nefarious. maybe. no promises though."}

It happened both on FireFox v28 & Internet Explorer 10 and of course javascript is always enabled by default.

Yeah, i havent done anything since i rooted the original rom.

So im on rooted 4.1.2 unlocked bootloader.

What order do i flash this in to get on 4.3 and stay rooted and unlocked bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
Read OP....flash firmware with Odin..on computer. Then flash ROM in recovery. Do edit mentioned in attached screenshot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spc_hicks09:
Stupid question but I gotta ask. So using the method in the OP, this will get me on the MJ9 update, still rooted, and still bootloader unlocked? Even with flashing the firmware through Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
Yes....firmware provided in OP is modified to retain unlocked bootloader.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Odin the firmware first. Then boot to recovery and wipe everything then flash the rom. First boot up may take 5 min.....Also if not working try a couple times sometimes it wont take the first or second try. Its weird like that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] c3ajeff:
SCH-I605 rooted unlocked 4.1.1-->4.4.2

So how can I update this phone - my end goal is KitKat/rooted unlocked. I need an "kitkat update for dummies" step by step.

I did the whole Adam Outler root/unlock thing no problem when I first got this phone so I'm able to follow instructions.

I've read practically this whole thread but I haven't seen how to do all this or what order to do it in.

For instance, do I need to do this in steps 4.1.1 to 4.2 then to 4.3 then 4.4? (if those steps even exist) or can I go directly from 4.1.1 to 4.4.2?

Thanks,

Jeff

i rooted my phone too when i first got it and im actually on jelly bean build 21 i used odin to run the modem file and i went into twrp and flashed the deodexed version and i got the phone to boot and it went right to updating android and it went updated those apps rebooted and then it wont go past the verizon logo. any help would be greatly appreciated! If you need more info please let me know and i will be happy to supply. thanks guys! i hope i get this working!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
You can go straight from 4.1.1 to 4.4.2. It's actually prefer ed

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Did you check md5?

Use latest philz, advanced format system & data, then wipe to install new Rom install Rom if md5 match... You can flash newest radio from the new KitKat version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I guess there are problems with TWRP lately. I tried to restore using it twice over the past week. The first time it corrupted my SD card and the second it lost my apps. That sucks because I really prefer the TWRP UI but I'm on Philz now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] c3ajeff:
Thank you for the response. It's good to know I don't have to update incrementally.

I still would like to know EXACTLY HOW to get from 4.1.1 to 4.4.2. A step by step, making no assumptions. PLEASE?

I installed PhilZ and it's working. I've downloaded toltevzw_mj9_official... and t0ltevzw_MJ9_DeOdex.zip.

So from there... what do I do? It seems there is a file I'm supposed to edit (??) and I don't know which order to try to install the files. Am I supposed to wipe everything and reformat the SD card first? (yes, I backed up with PhilZ)...

Thanks

Jeff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
Boot into Phillz select wipe to install Rom. Install the Rom *assuming you checked md5 already sorry* one room is up and good reboot into download mode and flash mj9 with Odin or you can Odin first does not matter. There are literally hundreds of guides that tell you exactly how to do this. I'm not great with instructions do it might help you to Google one up. Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] c3ajeff:
Thanks - of the hundreds of guides, I can't seem to find one. Lots of bits and pieces but nothing complete - a link to one? That would be helpful.

I see alot of directions for "safestrapping" etc .... my question is, if the 4.4.2. OTA broke it why cant revert to an UNBROKEN version with Odin/Heimdahl?

Any Links, Documents, etc, helpful Thank you in advance

I read someplace on here somebody went away for simply trying to help people take full control of a device the bought and paid for... scary stuff
