That's why I stopped going with Verizon and Sprint. I was one of the people that used the services of Mobile Tech Video to get my phone's bootloader unlocked once again. I vowed then and there that I was done with Verizon unless they carried a phone that could be unlocked without issues, "Nexus 6", and there aren't many options.

How did you dd to your phone?

Where did you read that?

From what i understand the supreme court ruled any device is ours to meddle with and I thought since it covered rooting it should cover anything else...

Wow, weird. My phone JUST rebooted as well. It's just been sitting idle since I flashed this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
The only thing ive done that may be different is i havent used odin for modem and i flash latest devil kernel. Leak been rock solid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellyhead:
been running for a couple hours now opening apps and clicking through things faster than normal to see if it hangs or FCs.... good so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Can this wifi modem fix be done eventually via recovery. ..instaed of odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
I'm not a dev, but I don't see how the modem would cause OS instability. Seems like one of those things that would either work fine or not work at all (probably keep your phone from booting).

Can't be much worse than it was before though. I was getting reboots at least a few times a day and lots of FCs/crashing. Upon the previously mentioned random reboot, it had a lot of update errors for the apps that were attempting to update, but then they updated fine after retrying. Hoping it was a fluke. I finally got TiBu to restore my apps now. I'm restoring apps without data first, then going back and only restoring data for apps I really need backup data for to ensure maximum stability. Then I'll wait a few days at least before trying Wanam Xposed this time because I'm sure that could have been behind a lot of the issues I had on the leaked ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nbock01:
I have had 1 random reboot as well. It was after installing/updating all my apps from the store...

Just downloaded the firmware from the op, and get a md5 error when opening it in Odin. This may be why people are having issues with reboots and stuff. Any other people getting md5 error? Didn't flash because of the error. Will wait and see what happens here.

Hey bro....r u saying that. ..flash this via recovery and it should"fix" wifi stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
Ive been on 4.3 leak for 5 days. I NEVER used odin and wifi works great. In 5 days no fcs or reboots. I just flashed official, this modem file, and latest devil kernel, in recovery, and can confirm all works fine. Im wondering if having to odin the modem is causing some issue. Leak was perfect for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Dude I'll bite and try it....

Do you happen to have the devil kernel your using.

Did you flash rom reboot then flash this file and devil kernal together. ..and let it it be and restored apps via tibu

Thanks Beans the zip worked

Beans,

Thanks the Zip file worked for me with Odin!! :laugh:

Devil kernel link in dn3 thread op. Or devil thread is in original dev section. Boot recovery, FULL wipe if coming from anything but the ota leak, i flashed rom, modem, kernel, then reboot and setup, then boot to recovery and flash 4 in 1 apm from mods thread. PROFIT. Dont forget the thanks! Lol. Dude, ive been telling people for 5 days you dont need odin. I took a gamble and used the dn3 instructions and files on the ota. PROFIT!

I always flash the restore sd card zip when coming from an AOSP built ROM. Not sure if it's necessary, but my sd card always mounts in the proper place afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
Uh, can someone please help? I just flashed this with CWM after wiping data (and caches) and it flashed and then when it was done, I clicked go back and it brought up this:

ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE with the options "No" or "Yes - Disable recovery flash" or "Go Back"

What should I click? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Nevermind. Found the answer here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2209887

"Selecting yes will keep CWM

While you select no, recovery will be replaced by stock one. "
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
Yes it is. Must have
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
WTF, is anyone else able to use Titanium Backup at all?! I just wiped and re-installed again and TiBu consistantly hangs while restoring any apps apps. It hangs while restoring individual apps and when I do batch restores. But it will restore some apps while doing a batch restore before randomly hanging. First thing I did when I got to the OS was allow apps from unknown sources and disable app verification. I'm not sure what else is causing issues. I've never had a prob with TiBu with any previous ROM or phone before, so I doubt it's the apps fault. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrep182:
Was your tibu files from 4.1.2? If so, yeah you'll get that failure. Gotta start fresh. I, however, came from liquidsmooth 4.3 and it restored just fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
Huh? Wouldn't think that'd matter. I'm not even trying to restore app data, just apps. I've did this with my Gnex going from 4.0 all the way to 4.2. without issue before and even with my OG droid from 2.1 to 2.3. It seems to work for a handful of apps, then hangs. If I keep doing it, it will eventually restore most of my apps. Just seems like a weird setting issue or possible TiBu issue with this specific ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Working fine for me

Edit not working so good anymore lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
4.3

I read all the pages for my answer but I didnt see it.

After we odin the firmware can we go back to 4.1 or will it be like the note 3 was after its 2nd update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
Yeah, I'll get that far too, then it'll hang on part of the way through the restore. Let me know if it does the same for you.

I may have fixed it though, seems to be running alright so far. I went to settings > preferences >*scroll to bottom* App processing mode > select AUTO, Indirect (if you have problems).

Lol, just saw your edit. I'll report back if the above option fixes it.

Edit 2: Worked for most of them, but I still have around 20 apps that won't install now... very frustrating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrep182:
I may have to add that I encountered the same experience during my RAZR days while upgrading ROM version. So I just assumed this applies to other phones in general.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] runandhide05:
to those that are having the reboot issue...

if you feel like trying something...

flash this kernel and give it time, im not saying the issue is deffinitly kernel related... but its worth a shot. this is 100% stock kernel extracted by [MENTION=2517144]krowley3[/MENTION] thrown into a zip for easy flashing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
If its 100% stock, isnt it already in the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
Just wiped did a factory reset and re-installed the ROM. Upon signing in and updating stock apps in the Play Store again it rebooted again... at least it's consistent I guess! I forgot to mention the first time that it requires a battery pull because it gets stuck at the Note 2 screen upon reboot, just did the same thing both times. Lol.. Guess I'll try it again with the Devil kernel as mentioned earlier. I couldn't imagine a more stable kernel than stock though. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
I had a reboot when my phone was automatically restoring my apps as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaPoets:
So I'm already on the leaked MJ9 and it seems this update is giving people just the same exact problems.... Wondering if it's even worth going through the trouble of updating to this seemingly exact same buggy rom verizon put out....

No reread the OP.

I was getting reboots setting stuff back up but nothing for awhile now. Wife's phone hasn't rebooted at all. I didn't mess with Wanam xposed on her but who knows if that's it or part of it.

I had camera widget in the lock screen and I can't figure out how I did that in the last version.

Just got everything set up again. Tried the modem zip for the heckofit but it didn't work. No reboots at all while setting things up so I'll keep my fingers crossed. 1st thought was "dam! I've sure got a lotta Verizon crap to dump now!" :) All in all though its running pretty smoov. Thanks Beans!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snowwy66:
so i did the stock update through verizon assistant update. and now the phone just sits and flashes the samsung galaxy note ii.

is this rom at the start of the thread going to get my phone up and running again? or should i just plan on my phone being bricked and taking it back to verizon?

i did the twrp when i first got the phone. was hoping the update would either not install, like what usually happens on root. or wipe the phone and put it back to stock settings. which is what i really wanted. i no longer feel the need to maintain root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
Did you happen to use Titanium? It's frustrating me a lot that I can't restore my apps and I can't even install them from the play store now because of the error in this screenshot. :mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
You did the OTA update? If so, your bootloader is no doubt locked and you are unrooted, so do not try flashing this rom because you'll trip the flash counter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snowwy66:
well, how do i get it loaded and running again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
I'm not exactly the person to ask about that. I believe it depends: Did you have a custom recovery and were you rooted when you took the update?

Something you could try: Boot into recovery. Turn the phone off, hold volume up + power button + home button and then wipe data. That could fix your problem and allow you to boot up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Norwester:
Try this.... Hopefully you don't have to do it for a buttload of apps.

Just to claify, were you rooted with a custom recovery when you did the OTA update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brooks777:
Ok, I'm having a serious problem. I was on the leaked version of the 4.3 update and saw this latest release and decided to give it a shot. I have backed up everything and I'm sitting inside of TWRP right now because all my phone is wanting to do is to reboot back into TWRP after flashing this rom. Other people have had the same issue, but they claim they just "reflashed" the rom and everything boots up.

I'm receiving errors like:

E error: Too many open files

E error: Error opening "data/log"

E error: I/O error

I've "Factory Reset" at least 5 times and reflashed the rom again.. No luck. I'm hoping to at least keep my pictures from my SD Card, but can someone advise me what to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
Well, if nothing else, restore your backup. Did you verify the md5s?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brooks777:
Well, apparently my backup also is having the same errors now. Any other ideas/solutions?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JTProuhet:
damn im glad i didnt flash this while i was at work... seems like theres more problems with rebooting than with the leaked version. I wonder whats going on with it, especially if this is the same as the OTA that got thrown out today. a guy i work with also has the Note 2 except on ATT and i talked to him earlier and he took the OTA last night and he didnt say anything about problems... Kinda really depressing actually
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
I would say try at least once more to flash the ROM and restore, and then Odin back to stock. I don't see any other option, but maybe someone that knows more about this than me will know of something.

It looks like the reboots aren't so random. A few people on here, including myself, had one happen when our apps were being restored. Also, for the record, I can update apps without any problems, and I have only had the one reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brooks777:
Thank you so much for offering to help me. I believe I had a corrupted download like you mentioned. I used adb and sent a copy of the rom from my computer and had success. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
Glad I could help! It's always scary to think we ruined our phone. I'd advise checking the md5s from here on out. Oh, and happy holidays/Merry Christmas! :)

I have come across this problem, but when I tried to delete the guilty app data folder in data/data, I would get an error saying it could not be deleted.

Odex vs DeOdex ?

know this is a newbie question but what is the difference between Odex and DeOdex.

Basically I am running cleanrom and will need to upgrade (I'm on verizon and have the latest modem - unless a new one was released with 4.3. I am using twrp (but it might be an older version as it has not been upgraded since I purchased the Note 2 in dec 2012.

Hum. I guess they did update the baseband because i'm on 1605VRAMC3 and your image has ...J9

-

Also do I have to use odin or can i copy to sd and flash with twrap the same i did when updating cleanrom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
Deodex is easier to mod.

If you want to update to 4.3 you need to extract the file from this zip http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197820 and flash it in the pda slot using Desktop Odin. Then you can flash roms like normal in twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qdroid:
Is there a way to tell if the firmware has been applied correctly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellyhead:
If you've ever looked in the system/app folder you seen that there are .apks and .odex files with the same name. I'm no expert but it seems that the odex files contain external data that the app uses. I'm not sure what is required to deodex but it removes the need for odex files. This makes it easier to install most of the MODs you'll find here. I have been able to install deodexed MODs on an odexed system before by deleting the odex file though. This is the first time I've gone with the deodexed option and it's working just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] statustray:
Are you saying that you flashed 4.3 using only TWRP? And if so, were you on Beanstown 22 before, or where you on the 4.3 leak?

I have never used Odin before, and do not have it, but will download it if necessary. I am way behind the times... lol... BUT, I am currently running Beans 22 though ;)

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snowwy66:
i don't even know if i was rooted. to be honest. i didn't have the super user app in my phone. i think all i did was just the unlock.

can't remember what i did. it was 10 months ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
Flashed the firmware via Odin, got a pass...did a full factory reset, flashed the deodex zip via TWRP successfully and booted up. Seem to be stuck at the Setup wizard where verizon is trying to activate my phone. Anyone else find this? I see 4G and four bars like I normally would have...

Update: The "activation" finally failed...so I exited the setup wizard and everything seems fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chelper:
Just want to throw something out there. I ran into a problem with a corrupted folder in the data/data folder. Took me a while, but finally found that the only way to fix this was to use the "Format Data" option in TWRP, instead of the usual "Wipe" of everything except External SD. Is it possible that TWRP is not completely wiping the App Data folder for some reason, and thus leaving behind all the previous app data folders including the separate odex files? I was wondering if this could be the reason for many of us getting the random force closes and reboots. I have just finished flashing the new 4.3 and I went into file manager within TWRP and verified that everything in the data folder was gone before I flashed the 4.3 zip. May not be anything, but maybe TWRP not completely wiping the data folder was my problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimmydene84:
Not many ppl are gonna want to do it...but I'm gonna say it anyway. If u want a less buggy experience...format data aswell... (wipe internal) before flashing. A lot has changed with how internal is handled from 4.1 to 4.3

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chelper:
What I found was that "Wipe Internal" and "Format Data" did not accomplish the same task. Even when I wiped internal, I still had a lot of my app data folders still there. Once I formatted data within TWRP, all of those app data folders were truly gone. I just wonder if this could be the cause of my leaked 4.3 bugginess and perhaps others too. Maybe TWRP is not deleting all of the app data info when people are going that extra step and wiping internal. And, if people are not wiping internal, they for sure would have all the previous app data stuff there. Maybe with 4.3, all of that app data needs to removed and TWRP wasn't doing that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimmydene84:
I have always done it twice, wipe internal, boot rom, reboot to twrp, wipe internal....flash new rom. My issues were minor on last 4.3...and going good so far now after wiping internal again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Cant extract for some reason. ..uugg
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
This somewhat fixes it. I had the same issue where it wouldn't delete the folder for some apps, but I guess it still deleted the files responsible for the error, because when I attempted to delete it and went back to the Play Store to install it, it would successfully install. But it will still fail restoring within TiBu. I got like 20 apps that had this issue, so I'm going through them now getting them installed with the above method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Here are all of the radio images that are currently available for the Note 2. These are packaged for flashing in recovery (CWM/TWRP). I'm posting these here because apparently the other images are all offline or unavailable anymore. I make no promises about these working, improving signal, or doing much of anything, but they're here anyway. If you need to know how to use these, flash your phone to stock and leave it locked, I'm not here to support stupidity. Enjoy.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
welcome will add to OP

yes params in new and from official tar the other one was att params

this has updated official firmware i fixed a cpl errors in the rom zips and i deodexed with api 18 instead of 16(on earlier zip i accidently left api on 16 when deodexing)

i fell asleep :(

ok so if this is stil not stable im guessing 4.3 needs some other firmware that wasnt included in zip.. gonna try flashing other firmware bits and make sure it wont brick us.. if all goes well i will post another updated firmware file..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Summit1:
I was getting that too and no change with factory reset. I'm not sure if this was part of the fix but I reflashed Beans 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, rebooted, went back to TWRP and got the same I/O errors. I did a factory reset AND a "Format Data." I think the later fixed it because then I installed this ROM and no I/O errors. Booted, ODIN'd the Modem firmware. After all downloads completed I went back to TWRP and installed the Tether_MJ9 zip, configured that and have not experienced any issues. I did use Titanium to restore "data only" on apps that needed it, only installing "apps + data" on Amazon procured apps. A couple of apps associated with "data only" restores acted quirky, so I just uninstalled/reinstalled from Play Store and all is cool!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
So far this is stable for me. The other leaked build was stable enough for me I had ONE reboot after 3 days of uptime.
