[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
Works for me. Smart screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
No I'm speaking of "Smart Stay", basically the phone knows your looking at it and keeps the screen from going to sleep. Great when your reading, which I do often.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
Yeah yer thinking of smart screen. Its what they call it in the 4.3 display settings. But yeah I use it all the time. Works fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Ok I understand, its under Smart screen settings, called Smart Stay... anyway I see the eye but it stays dark. when it worked it would light up...

Your on this particular "Official Rom"?

If I am already rooted and have TWRP 2.6 installed all I need to do is download You Need to Flash This Full Firmware Package Via Odin to get the new modem and to get wifi to work

Firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198557 to my note 2 , wipe my phone then install it from TWRP right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Correct also I recommend updating twrp to the latest. 2.6.3.1 I think it is....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] credemann:
I do have TWRP 2.6.3.1 downloaded the file to my phone used TWRP to wipe my phone installed the file TWRP showed that the install was successful then got a notice that my phone was not rooted and asked if I wanted to install super user did that now my phone is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. How do I get it unstuck? Ok I figured it out myself. Pulled the battery, got back to TWRP restored my latest backup. Wiped the cache rebooted and now my phone works.

Why did my phone lock after using TWRP to install or flash http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198557 onto my phone and add super user? Now what do I do to install this ROM? Thanks for any help!

Steps I think I need to do to install this ROM by TWRP Please help me if I am wrong:

1. Download Odex or DeOdex onto my phone

2. Download This Full Firmware Package to my phone

3. Do a backup using TWRP

4. Using TWRP Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data

5. Using TWRP flash either Odex or DeOdex

6. Reboot

7. Use TWRP to flash Full firmware package

8. Reboot then I'm done

Figured it out.

1. Did a backup with Titanium and another backup and wipe with TWRP

2. Downloaded DeOdex to my phone and used TWRP to install.

3. Downloaded firmware to a PC and used Odin 3.09 to flash the file to my phone (frustrated at first because I forgot about good old download mode!

Rebooted and now the ROM works well!

I am currently on stock rooted and unlocked VRAMC3. I would like to update to this ROM, but have a couple of questions. Do I flash the ROM first, then the firmware or should I flash the firmware first? Also does wireless tethering work with this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
I flashed rom. Rebooted into download mode via recovery and flashed firmware. Tether works for me. I dont have unlimited data tho.

TaPpEd from my nOtEwOrThY N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoandGeo:
Thanks, I forgot to do a factory reset after flashing this ROM, but everything seems to work fine with just a dirty flash from 4.1.2. Flashed firmware after Android did its upgrade, rebooted and flashed the tether patch and everything seems to be working perfectly. Only issue is settings force closes when hitting the software update panel, but I guess that will always happen with some of the Knox stuff stripped out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimmypop13:
I'm having some major issues with this rom. Occasionally wifi will stop working and the toggle won't work or do anything. At some point after that the screen will no longer turn on and I'll have to do a battery pull. Sometimes the phone won't receive or be able to answer calls. Anyone have any ideas? I flashed the firmware package in Odin, rebooted to twrp, did a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, format system, factory reset again) and then flashed the rom. Actually I don't remember when I flashed this rom, I think it was right when this thread went up. Did the first rom posted have issues or is the rom posted the same one it's always been?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Buee:
4.1.2 stock rooted to this

First, thanks for the upload.

Second, I'm confused. I'm no guru like you guys. I'm currently on 4.1.2 rooted stock with an unlocked bootloader. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2045563 says to not use ODIN for anything but going back to stock, but this thread says you have to have an unlocked bootloader. Normally, I'd chance it as I've had quite a few android devices and never had any issues until the Galaxy Note 2. This phone has bricked...twice...not looking for a 3rd. One was fiddling around getting the next OTA stock, another was random. I guess my question is simple, do I have to go back to stock, then flash this or can I go straight from rooted/unlocked to this w/ ODIN?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Yes u can just flash this rom via recovery and flash the 4.3 firmware via odin. Goes in the pda slot. You can also nandroid back to 4.1.2 no problem and still run the new baseband. Just wipe and format all internals

TaPpEd from my nOtEwOrThY N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoandGeo:
When I did my firmware flash I'm pretty sure I put the firmware in the PHONE slot within ODIN. Wifi does work, and it didn't before I did the flash. Does this work as well, will I run into possible problems in the future? Or am I mistaken and the only way for it to have worked is that I did in fact put it in the PDA slot and just remember wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
So this is kind of off topic, but my screen had a crack and it's getting bigger.

Would this rom pass as stock to use my factory warranty or is there something I would need to do for it to get replaced and has anyone ever gotten one replaced by the factory?

Just considering it at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoandGeo:
If you are doing any kind of insurance or warranty replacement I would recommend going 100% stock with no root, no modified anything whatsoever. Use one of the scorched earth utilities to return it full stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I was thinking I would have to brick it after going back to stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
I guess I've been one of the lucky ones with this ROM ....I have been holding off on reporting my luck for many days now. I dirty flashed from 4.1.2...lol. I flashed the firmware fix with Odin and then flashed the tether fix. Didn't mess with the phone after that until the next morning. The next morning I flashed the Devil kernel and froze a few apps. I have had zero random reboots. I did have a few apps fc when opened the first time...I simply uninstalled them and reinstalled. ..I did NO titanium restores. Even Xposed and modules worked fine (except some battery mods) after the flash . I probably just jinxed myself...but this ROM has been great so far. I don't know if the 6 hour rest until the next morning after the ROM flash had any thing to do with my luck...but could be...lol :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Na eventually it'll random reboot, could be days. Mine was perfect for like 4 days and then bang Google + started FC and then rebooting started. On Sophisticated 2.5, so far rock solid. Didn't like the blue UI so flashed the stock Green UI and cannot tell the difference from Official except no random rebooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Only time I had any reboots was after flashing the tethering provision unlock.

Revert to stock and no issues, I did use titanium to remove Google+ though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gimpyestrada:
I finally had to give up on this ROM. I was getting very sporadic reboots. But any records isn't acceptable. I moved over to Sophisticated and I haven't had a single problem. I even dirty flashed, only wiping the System partition with no problems. Not one reboot going on a week now. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolfx35:
I am not very smart. I don't spend a lot of time on this board, a while back, I rooted my Galaxy Note 2, here I am, can't upgrade my Galaxy Note 2 with Verizon's official OTA update.

On this thread, I see 3 links, Odex, DeOdex, and the firmware package, I am very confused as to which one I should get? and what's Odex and DeOdex? Do I need them?

Also can someone tell me how to get Odin?

Thanks.

how do I get this update? Do I install firmware package first or ODEXED first? OP pretty much just dumped them out there assuming everyone know what they are doing, but newbies like us looking here, feeling like we are lost in the maze.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wyckedfunk:
Process doesn't matter. Install the firmware first or the rom doesn't matter.. download the rom version of your choice (odex or deodex) and place it on your external sd card .. Now there are a couple of options for the firmware I don't mean to confuse you, but there is a flashable firmware package, some have had success with just flashing it some have not .. I used Odin on my desktop computer placed the .tar file in pda slot and hit start .. now if you download the firmware and it's in a zip file you need an appropriate unzip program to unzip and extract all .. then look for the .tar file from the extracted files .. then you can use Odin to push the .tar file to your phone .. Xda has Odin process and files stickied to the note2 rom section .. for the rom install make sure your using an updated recovery wipe the cache, dalvik cache, wipe data, format system.. then flash rom from your external sd card slot.. thats pretty much it.. theres a ton of videos on youtube if you're more of a visual person.. good luck.. and remember .. if your not sure what to do .. don't be afraid to ask me before you do..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolfx35:
Wow, thanks a lot, that's very helpful. This should be put on the first page for newbies like us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wyckedfunk:
Your welcome .. read as much as you can every page if that's what it takes for whatever rom your going to install read read read .. I know there's alot of pages sometimes but for me atleast I'd rather know things for myself than assume and be lost .. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
I am actually a little surprised people are still struggling with this ROM. I suspect that Beans really posted this to give experienced crack flashers a toy to test drive so that bugs could be identified, and to give developers access to 4.3 to use as base for further development. At least 7 other stable ROMs have been developed from this 4.3 base and are easily available here on XDA (N3bula, Sophisticated, Nephilim, JellyWiz, Lab Rats, Mean Bean, Alliance ROM, etc). To fix the random reboot required code modification beyond most end-users skill set, but the developers of these other ROMs have all incorporated the necessary changes into their versions. Beans might never come back here to patch this first out of the gate “official” version, but he no doubt will have the fix baked into his JellyBeans Build 23 that will be available in the near future.

If you gotta have 4.3 and you want a stable ROM without reboots, ODIN the firmware update (honestly, if you have zero access to a computer you really shouldn’t be flashing ROMs on your phone anyway because you may be unable to recover from a soft brick if you mess up) and either wait for JellyBeans 23 or try one of the other stable ROMs.

Just sayin'....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoandGeo:
This ROM has been solid for me since I dirty flashed it over Stock unlocked/rooted 4.1.2. I did the dirty flash, flashed the firmware via ODIN, then flashed the tethering patch and haven't had one reboot or random FC from any programs. I haven't modified anything beyond that, or tried to restore anything via Titanium, which would probably cause oddities.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
I have had no trouble with this ROM (DeOdex). Not one random reboot. I installed it this way (Dirty Flash over Beans stock DeOdex 4.1.2). Odin flash firmware(did it earlier in the day and used the phone that afternoon). (Later that evening) I booted into TWRP 2.6.3.0, Wipe dalvik and cache. Flash ROM .....reboot into recovery . Wipe dalvik and cache again.....flash ROM again and then flash tether fix. I then went to bed.....the next morning I flashed Devil kernel and froze a few apps and removed incompatable apps. (All of my previously installed apps were still there, even Xposed and modules...no Titanium restores). A couple of apps FCed when opened for the first time....so I re-installed them. I have had NO issues since then and NEVER even had 1 random reboot. I have installed an extended power menu and many Darkhorse themed Google apps....No problems. Maybe the "rest time" between the many flashes that it has taken to get to my current state contributed to my success. I have always liked to start with a "Stock" ROM and ad or remove the things I use or don't use. Just my experience.....it has been good!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolfx35:
Does anyone has any problem with turning on WIFI? I just did this update, and everything looking good, but sometimes I couldn't turn on wi-fi. I turn it "on", but it keeps on going to "off" position? Not sure if it's a known issue.

Read OP again. You need to flash the 4.3 firmware

I did flash it using ODIN, after I installed the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
Sometimes it's the easiest thing. Have you tried rebooting the device? May or may not work, but it did for me when I flashed the firmware.

Been to long since I flashed anything (got kinda burnt out on it) can I flash the firmware then the rom without losing my appdata and setings for alarms and everthing ? I'm running unlocked boot loader and stock rooted 4.1.2 build JZ054k.I605VRAMC3 . Thanks in advance.

I "Dirty Flashed" and have had no problem , I didn't loose any information ......others have had nothing but problems.......and had to "Clean Flash"....good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
You can update firmware without losing any data at all. However, most would recommend clean flashes of any 4.3 rom since a lot changes, especially how it manages internal and external memory. You could get away with it by using TiBu to back everything up and restore, but may encounter issues since you're backing up from 4.1.2 and restoring on 4.3. I'd predict a few force closes but operate at your own risk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Crash*N*Burn:
Worse "Stock ROM" imho

I do not profess to know 1/10th of what the developers in this forum know about Android. I have however been rooting and using custom roms since my og HTC EVO 4G, so I'm not inexperienced when it comes to rooting and applying patches or custom roms.

This rom is horrible imho. I have tried clean and dirty installs with both the ODEX and deODEX files. The WiFi patch works fine I have no issues with that. But 2-3 times a day I get FC on apps and about every 2-3 days I get random reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
So...you'll be trying something else then. Let us know what you find as we're all looking for things to crack flash. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dennis-:
i flashed this rom and the firmware and had issues at first but most have kind of worked themselves out. the random reboot went away after i went in and wiped cache and devlik cache and did a fix permissions. the wifi not turning on occasionally still happens but a reboot fixes that. not the end of the world. all in all its a good stock rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
Is there a new param in this firmware Beans? I loaded it into mobile odin and it just shows a modem partition. And before anyone asks mobile odin is a fail. I had no service via mobile odin. Lol

Edit.... I had the bad download. It flashed fine in mobile odin and shows a param partition. Though I cant tell for sure if it flashed the param or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
You do a full wipe and flash the modem with Odin before installing the ROM?

Not sure it matters what order you do it in, but I flashed the modem with Odin first, then booted into recovery, factory reset/wiped the internal storage (systen, data and cache), then installed the ROM and my Titanium backup .zip that you can create from within the TiBu settings.

It took a few mins of sitting at the Verizon logo screen before it got to the OS, but all seems well so far while I'm setting up and restoring data.

I also had to reflash OS to get it to boot to system instead of recovery. I flashed OS first, than Odin firmware, than flashed OS again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellyhead:
Just updated from the first release. All went smooth and seems good so far, I only wiped cache/delvik/system, all user apps remain from the other release. Wifi fix and tether working good. Time will tell if the reboot problem is still present.

Thanks for your work on this.

Yes it's working with the MOD from the previous topic

No.

I'm trying runandhide05's fix from the other thread.

runandhide05's tether fix and APM from the 12/08 version thread seem to be working on the deodexed version.

I just hope I haven't overwritten newer files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
I also had to flash the rom twice. First flash the lastest twrp gave the no OS installed error are you sure you want to reboot. So I rebooted anyways and it rebooted on the sammy logo went into recovery and I flashed again. It booted fine but im back on 22 so I cant tell you how it ran.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
Mine booted into TWRP after the install. All I did was hit reboot and then it booted up normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
My Odin kept force closing on my comp. So I just booted into the rom and the wifi works beautiful. So I'm not messing with anything else. I used the new modem from the last 4.3 release and seems to be fine here. I'll try again tomorrow. Even tried the newest Odin version and both failed as soon as I hit start. The program itself not the file

I'm thinking the reboot issue won't be a problem since beans updated everything to pretty much be identical to the OTA that came out today that was built for our specific device, not just a port or anything

Ugh, not a good sign. Already got my first random reboot while just updating the stock apps through the play store. All I've done is sign into my Google account so far. I really don't think this is any different than the previous 4.3 leak Beans posted (same exact build numbers, dates and modem version). Not sure what else I can do besides another full wipe and ROM install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolfx35:
Yup, rebooting solves it. My phone is much faster now, I love it.

BTW, anyone was able to get the WI-FI tether app to work? Mine no longer works and show no log
