Here you go.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I'm running rooted for now. I used SELinux Mode Changer to change from Enforcing to Permissive when I was trying things to troubleshoot the GPS last night.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

I'm also downloading the CWM ODEX package as we speak.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Aaaaaand...no difference... Still no working GPS... Maybe I'll head to the ATT store tomorrow. ..I wonder if my Knox being tripped will raise any flags...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esprit1st:
So, I have a (probably stupid) question concerning tethering with this package:

I'm on AT&T group plan and I turned on tethering to see if it works and it actually does, BUT:

I can't find the settings for it. The AP is visible from my laptop and shows as secured, so it's asking me for a password, but I don't know it or can't seem to find where to change that.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
I flashed the Odin package back onto my phone and GPS is working fine there as well. See attached...

As for AT&T, maybe not tomorrow, I think De La Vega will give them the day off with most of the rest of us :) but you will be a pioneer for the rest of us - let us know how it goes if you go in.

On a somewhat related note, I added the stock recovery file to the OP, so if you want to flash that to your phone before you head to a store it's available. It does look different from the stock recovery from 4.1.2 - larger font and some changes to the text colors, but same menu - enough to signal MK6 if they are looking for it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Bootloader has to be flashed via Odin. I recommend you try the MJ4 bootloader first. MK6 and above are not revertable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
I installed AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock ODIN Note 2 over 4.1.1 as described (I don't really need SU) "device info" shows late NJ1 bootloader, so I tried to upload MJ4 but get "software revision check fail"... Flashing MK6 bootloader Odin reports sucess however nothing changes (still NJ1 bootloader and not charging while off). Sadly phone does not charge while off WiFi seems to be OK... The phone originally had 4.4.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
Any hope for help, please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
I guess I'm stuck with my UCUCNJ1 loader...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
Sadly there is no more life on this planet as well...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dzee206:
All you had to do is Odin the latest update by Sammy (4.4.2) and you would have been good, could of saved you all that time and trouble... Google is your friend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
Thanks but I don't need the latest, I specifically need 4.3 or 4.1...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ritvik_shergil:
Can't flash

My phone (i317) is able to start in download mode but ODIN always fails (after NAND Write started appears), no matter what I am trying to flash, be it Stock Rom, or TWRP!

Moreover, phone in Phillz CWM recovery shows mount errors for /data and I cant install via zip!

ADB devices show device in recovery but fastboot doesn't show device in download mode!

I want to know if this is a symptom of partial hard brick! Coz, everything seems to fail!

Please reply if you are reading this!

Should be options under there to configure the access point name and password... if not there, then from the notification bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esprit1st:
That's what I thought. It's just not there. I have only "enable tethering", "enable USB tethering" and "help".

If I tap on the notification bar where it says "tap here to configure" I get to the same page where there is no settings.

Weird! :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
I didn't go all the way through all posts, but have you tried any of the GPS test tools on play store?

Im looking for examples now.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

GPS status and toolbox is sweet. You need to get into settings and check GPS fix time to see how long it takes to lock on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] taranis17:
Tap on Mobile Hostspot, then configure at the bottom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Thanks for suggesting, but yeah, I've tried them. None workor help resolve anything, unfortunately. I'm beginning to suspect hardware, since changing SE LINUX from Enforcing to Permissive didn't help either.

I also loaded stock recovery (thanks for that, Zen), but I'm not seeing any difference there either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Before I forget Zen....

Many thanks to you. .!!

This offering will help so many users. ..(thousands)....including myself. ..

Strong work brother. ..

I hope folks appreciate what this thread is all about. ..

YOUDAMAN !!!....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Sux. Sorry man. Good luck at ATT. The GPS tools should be enough for them. Probably won't go digging for anything else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
[MENTION=923661]chris.[/MENTION]I.naish have you tried running a totally different ROM to test out the gps? Try one of the 4.3 AOSP ROMs since they are smaller downloads and way more stable than the 4.4 stuff floating around.

Edit - pm me if you want a super stable suggestion. I use gps on it all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
I've thought about trying a custom 4.3 TW ROM again, but it seems weird to me that it doesn't work on stock...I may still try it just to troubleshoot, I'm not sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Troubleshooting is what I do. I would give it a shot and that way you could know for sure. If it works on another ROM then it's most likely not hardware related.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Yup. My thinking too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrmcpowned:
I'm on the UCAMH3 bootloader, so flashing this through Odin shouldn't give me any problem's (initially), right? I can't find any mention of this bootloader anywhere in the thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
As long as you are on UCUBMJ4 bootloader or below you are good. That includes MH3, MC3, MA4, LK2 & LJ2. Just follow the instructions in the OP and flash the MJ4 bootloader package after flashing the rom package.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] perroschatos02:
So first I flash the ROM then I Odin the bootloader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Ok, this is some messed up stuff right here...I re-loaded Jedi Master X v1...and initial results show that GPS seems to work...at least GPS Test is locking on to multiple satellites, and showing more available, and it locks quickly, too...and this is in my dining room with a nearby window...looks like maybe this isn't hardware after all.

Perhaps the Stock ROM *REALLY* doesn't like you tripping Knox?...

I'll post some screenshots and Google Nav results after I do some more testing. Zen - I'll give that Z-Device app a try too, thx for the suggestion. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Yup. Read the OP again. I haven't even flashed this and I have read it 4 times.

Unless you are already on the newest bootloader. MK6.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

@chris.I.naish I was pretty sure flashing another ROM would make it work. Never had a hardware problem on any of my 20 phones from jailbreak to flashing. If something wasn't working it was a bad flash etc or my error. Have you tried flashing this ROM again after a good wipe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Jedi X-20 ? The 4.1.2 ROM? What radio, baseband version, is Jedi using? Or are you using now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
No, Jedi Master X, v1, which is a multi-carrier 4.3 ROM, but it uses a TMO base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
I checked with dicksteele - he's running on the mk6 bootloader with the Knox flag tripped - and his GPS is working ok.

Given that, and considering your situation, it appears that coming from Jedi to this stock package might require more extensive wipes.

The good news - your HW is ok.

Can you provide more details about the steps you took to wipe before flashing the stock package?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Reboot to TWRP 2.6.3.1, wipe (factory reset), wipe data, repeat both of those another 3-4 times, reboot recovery, install ROM only, let it boot, let it sit for 5-10 mins, go through the initial screens without setting anything up, reboot, profit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Interesting.... So is TMO your carrier or ATT? Or does TMO have a big presence in your area?

EDIT: Did X v1 flash a different radio?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
These are from my dining room. Locks on pretty quickly. The Z-Device test was done just resting the phone upright against the window.

I also took it outside, did a Google Nav to Starbucks, walked down my driveway and purposely turned the other way to cause it to reroute, just to make sure it was tracking me properly. Seems to work great now.

Jedi Master X 1 is close enough to stock that I think I'll just stay on it until it's time to upgrade. It would be the easiest solution.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

I'm on AT&T. I used to use Jedi-X, the last one was v20 before they started making their 4.3 TW ROM. When they did, they stopped making both the older "X" multi-carrier version (n7105 base) and the "master" version (TMO base), and for ease of administration, combined them into what is now called the "Jedi Master X" multi-carrier ROM, which you can find in the T-Mobile Note 2 Dev section. It gives you the option to pick your carrier during the Aroma install.

The only catch is that you do have to flash your carrier's modem separately. I just use the mk6 modem and it works well. :)

HTH.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Cool. I bounced over there and saw the X2. You are on v1 though? And have you checked radio? Are you still on this UCUBMK6 Stock *Modem* ? Or the TMO base?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] perroschatos02:
I have read the op about 6 times I just don't want to brick my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
So this one ?

Do you still have the link to Jedi MasterX v1? Only Jedi MasterX2 is posted. That was uploaded to host on the 23rd.

EDIT: Backed up apps and ROM. Going to try and flash the X2 shortly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] apollo361:
Thank you so much for this stock 4.3 rom. I've been using it avidly for 3 days and Everything is.working beautifully (wifi, gps etc) I haven't come across a single problem. Great stock rom. Exactly what I've been waiting for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrmcpowned:
Thanks for clarifying that :D, I haven't kept track of the bootloaders so I just wanted to make double sure. Also, thanks so much for releasing this package; It's awesome I can finally update my note with root :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] b0ngz1ll4:
First off I want to say thank you to the OP for getting this out. Stock rom and exactly what I was looking for.

Kudos to Chainfire for his work on Root and I paid for the full version months ago due to his bad assery.

I just installed and updated and I noticed that my phone is running warmer than normal.. specifically around the MircoSD slot on the back... anyone else noticing this?

Stuck at AT&T boot screen

All, sorry to post with such a noob question, but I'm truly stymied. I just flashed Zen's "stock" 4.3 onto my AT&T Note II. My prior ROM was Android Open Collective 4.3. On my initial attempt, since I was not coming from a stock-variant of 4.3, I wiped system, cache, and Dalvik in TWRP recovery, then hooked my phone up to my laptop and used Odin to flash the odexed ROM package. Everything seemed to go fine, but when I rebooted my phone, it hung on the AT&T icon screen (the little blue-striped globe). Though I suspected otherwise, I hoped this might have something to do with the bootloader, which I had not yet flashed. I went ahead and used Odin to flash the MJ4 bootloader, again successfully (apparently), but the phone still would not boot past the AT&T screen.

I decided I would reflash the AOCP ROM in TWRP just to see if it would work, and it did. Once I'd done that, I downloaded the deodexed version of Zen's ROM to my phone's external SD card, the booted into TWRP recovery. I again wiped system, cache, Dalvik, and this time also wiped internal storage, just to be extra safe. I flashed the deodexed ROM in TWRP, rebooted the phone, and now I'm again hung at the AT&T icon screen, just as I was before.

Thoughts? Any ideas or suggestions would be deeply appreciated, as I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this isn't working, but I unfortunately don't have the level of technical expertise to fully read the signs, if you will. Thanks in advance for your thoughts, everyone. MUCH appreciated!

Best regards,

Gerry
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hatgirl223:
How long has it beenon that screen? Mine took several minutes to boot past that screen. I thought it was stuck but I let it alone and it finally booted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
You probably need to wipe /data as well and may need to wipe internal sdcard.

Make sure you have good backups beforehand. Post #13 offers some suggestions but assumes you have some experience with making backups and restores with cwm, twrp and tibu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] GDX:
Thanks, I was hoping it would be that typical "first boot" delay, but it's been stuck on the AT&T screen for about an hour now...

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Thanks, Zen. Adding the /data wipe apparently did the trick. You're the bomb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrmcpowned:
One final question (and sorry if it's a stupid one, I just don't want to brick my non-warrantied device), does the bootloader go in the PDA or BOOTLOADER slot in Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
PDA.

If you start using ODIN 3.09 it will be AP. Just to confuse you of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] goofy22:
I flashed the ROM as per OP instructions everything works fine including WiFi & GPS.

Do I still need to flash Kernel & Modem or these two are included in the ROM.?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Kernel and modem are in the main rom package. Only extra needed is the bootloader/tz odin package, unless you already have the MK6 bootloader - details are in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] goofy22:
Thanks Zen Arcade everything works perfect for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esprit1st:
Hey guys,

I still have the problem of not being able to access wifi hotspots settings. I attached a screenshot for you to double check I am on the right page and see if you have it there.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
This screen is to have your phone be a hotspot. Is that what you want?

If you turn that on, your phone is a hotspot and it turns WIFI off. Then your phone can't see other hotspots or wireless access points.

EDIT: If that is what you want. Then press Mobile Hotspot, not the ON/OFF toggle and the settings will come up.

There you can configure the SSID and change the WPA2 PSK password, and configure which devices are allowed to access YOUR hotspot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esprit1st:
Yes, that's what I intended to do. I can see the hotspot from other devices but I can't connect since it is asking me for a password that I don't know. Additionally I can't find the settings to change the name of the hotspot and password. I thought this is the screen it should be on.

Is that a bug that it's missing?

Thanks for help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Which bootloader are you running? MJ4 or MK6? (Post #2 has info on how to check)

As for the page, that's the right one - I don't have a tethering plan myself, but dicksteele did some digging and found that the TetheringProvision.apk ptmr3 modded in jedi master x2 works OK (as he has noted above). I installed it on my phone (with MJ4 bootloader and no tethering plan) - I can now turn on tethering and I get to the same place you do.

So - it appears that the MK6 bootloader may be required to get native tethering to work. At present, I don't have a solution for you - I've tried flashing just the MK6 tz.img file to my phone to see if that would make a difference, but the MJ4 bootloader is not letting that happen.

Your options at this point:

1 - bite the bullet and take the MK6 OTA (not ideal)

2 - move to one of the custom roms that support tethering (you have many options here)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] perroschatos02:
My baseband is mh3 can I flash this with cwm? Also do I need to flash the mj4 bootloader and tz files?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Yes and yes. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esprit1st:
I am using MJ4. Well, it's not that I really need tethering. It would be nice to have, but definitely not worth the effort for me to go MK6 or custom ROM. I just thought it's something that I am doing wrong. Glad to hear it's not me (kind of) :laugh:

Thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] oldnoob:
Thanks for putting this rom together. Just wanted to let you know that I installed it on the UCAMC3 bootloader with the param and tz Odin file from Sky Note. I did it that way because I was on Sky Note and already had them installed. I'm not a power user, but so far I haven't run into anything that doesn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Are you only using TWRP for flashing and wiping?

I was messing with some of my system apks and ended up completely hosing up my wireless. Nothing would turn on and I couldn't getting to my hotspot settings anymore.

I rebooted to Philz recovery (the latest 6.0.0.8), wiped for a new ROM install, and restore my back up of this ROM and everything was restored.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Hmm... so: UCAMC3 bootloader + UCUBMJ4 (param & tz) = wifi on ?

I will try this combo and see what happens with tethering ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadrick.7:
That didnt work for me. I had to flash the one click mj4 bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] oldnoob:
That's right, wifi is working no problem. When I originally installed Sky Note I had to do a major wipe, including a full format of /system and /data and Odin flash the files from the Sky Note thread to get everything working.

I did the same thing this time but I didn't touch the bootloader. I checked with a getprop ro.bootloader to confirm and I'm still on C3.

S-Voice behavior question

G'day all,

1st off thanks for this 4.3 ROM, it is much appreciated!

UPDATE: The issues I raise here are not the fault of this ROM.

I did a TWRP Wipe\Factory reset after writing this and discovered that both issues below started to work fine again, Most notably S-Voice would beep at me for a response to any confirmations it wanted. HOWEVER I then started redownloading all my 100+ apps from the store and somewhere along the line, the S-Voice issue I detail below came to rear it's head again. once S-Voice started misbehaving again I tinkered about untll I discovered that the cause is due to me turning on NOTIFICATIONS under Settings>My Device Tab> Accessibility. Go figure. The only reason I need to turn notifications on is to allow Go Launcher EX to display Samsung unread email count on the home screen icon.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I seem to have updated myself successfully from CleanROM ACE 5.0 (A mighty fine daily driver, I might add).

As usual, Samsung has made updates to its own programs as part of of its 4.3 release for Gnote 2.

2 things that perhaps others have noticed and addressed and perhaps can offer some insight?

a) I am a heavy user of S-Voice over a BT headset and I now notice that S-Voice seems to ask for a confirmation on actions where it didn't before. example: call 516-123-1234 (whereas it used to repeat the number and then dial it, it now asks "do you want to dial 516-123-1234 (at which point I would think it should beep and listen for an answer, but it doesn' beep, nor listen for my answer. Call does not complet as a result. If I say call someone at home and if S-Voice responds with " You have more than one name or whatever, S-voice would beep in my headset and I would repeat the correct name and it usually would get it right and then confirm "Calling Name ...." and be done OR I could tap on one of the names S-Voice listed and it would verbally confirm my selection and dial that person, now if I tap a name S-Voice asks for confirmation "Do you want to call name ..." and again leave me hanging as it does not seem to listen for my response of "yes", again call fails.

b) Samsung email used to rewrap text if I zoom in on an email. This seems to no longer be the case. Is this true?

Hopefully my posting here in this ROM thread is OK as there are few places for an ATT GNote 2 user to query things related to ATT's Android 4.3 update.

Any insight would be mt appreciated.

Claude H.

S-Voice is a show stopper for me. Has anyone else, who uses S-Voice, come across this here?
