Guess so. I'm lucky? Not sure...didn't realize ppl couldn't have 4.4.2 if they were already unlocked from 4.1.2 days.

That being said I'm good to go flashing this rom? Stable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
1. They can flash 4.4 they just have to flash the corresponding kernel.

2. Are you going to flash the 4.3 version of n3bula?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Ok. Well if this is 4.3 with n3 features id like to. Back in the day it seems I could flash anything with the correct modem. I guess my question is ..is there anything I cant flash. I have mj9 and obviously not going back to any pre 4.3 rom.

Im trying to be careful from another costly mistake. Also asking everyone's consesus of stabilty. I'm not a crack flasher and once I get a stable rom I stick with it. Gps and hotspot are of utmost importance for my work. N3 featured would be great too. I'm not hung up ok 4.4.2 vs 4.3 etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
As long as the rom is built for your device you should be fine to flash it. But remember, read read read. Then read the whole thing over to make sure you didn't miss anything. Sometimes something as stupid as flashing in the wrong order can make for a really long day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrNetwork:
N3BULA is a great rom. There doesn't seem to be any lag. All the requirements you listed are in this rom. If you want the native Note 3 apps, this is the rom for you.

Another rom I tried is the AOSP based rom Liquid Smooth. It is unbelievably fast and has android 4.4.4 on it, but you have to use Play Store apps for the note taking features. I tried it and really liked it, but I went back to N3BULA even though it only has 4.3 on it. The reason I went back is partly because I wanted the Note 3 apps. The main reason is because Google changed some code which doesn't allow for text reflow after pinch to zoom in my favorite browser (Boat Browser).

modem, pit, tz etc, and page plus

I've read the OP at least 20 times, and searched the thread at least 20 times for different keywords, but I still can't figure out if the MJ9 firmware includes the pit, tz, modem, etc updates that are needed.

If not, where do I download them? I have the standard sch-i605-16gb.pit. And MJ9modemparams.zip. Is this all I need?

I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked sch-i605 with stock 4.1.2 and the MJ9 firmware installed

Also, this phone is flashed to Page Plus. Will I have to reflash it after I install these updates and ROM?

Sorry if these are noob questions - I haven't been able to find the answers after much searching.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
if you use odin to flash mj9, then yes, everything you need will be flashed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmargm:
Hello, I just have two small questions.

Does this ROM have its APN setting unlocked by default or will I need to use one of the methods elsewhere on the forums to unlock it? I purchased this phone the other day, and will be using it on Straight Talk. I have all the settings and whatnot taken care of, I just need to know if I need to unlock APNs.

The other question is, is GPS working fine? I've been browsing a lot trying to find the right ROM for me, and all the candidates were showing that GPS was quite finicky. From what I've been reading here, no ones reported it, so I assume it DOES work fine. Just wanted to be sure.

Thanks for the help, and I greatly look forward to getting my Note and using this ROM! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArmStrongDickPunch:
The Verizon note 2 is unlocked out of the box so after putting the straight talk Sim in and flashing the ROM just add the correct apns and your good

(I used straight talk with my Verizon note 2 with this ROM)

And the GPS workes fine

Hope this helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmargm:
Yeah, the GPS bit puts me at ease. I know the phone is carrier unlocked, but I was reading that Verizon pulled the rug on the APN settings, and didn't let you modify them. I was just wondering if that was changed for this ROM or if I needed to grab the flash-able fix (if it works with this).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdrayton:
APN editing for MMS problems

Love this ROM, but I don't have mms, and I can't edit APNs.

Flashed to Page Plus. Everything works - voice, text, data (3g) - but MMS gives "invalid destination address"

Probably I have the wrong APNs because I have a netherlands Vodafone sim in it (I am in the USA, bought the wrong sim by mistake). And I don't get 3g without a sim card. Alogcat shows mms trying to connect to netherlands APNs and obviously that is going to fail when trying to send to USA cell phone.

However, I can't edit the APNs, and my country code in network signal info shows up as 204 ie netherlands.

Any ideas on how to fix MMS and/or edit APNs?

I've tried various APN editor apps, and editing apns_conf.xml - no worky.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmargm:
If you installed the deodexed version, you could attempt the flashable fix in post number four of this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044449

Or, you can try the build.prop edit found on Android Central here, http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...41691-mod-add-apn-editor-system-settings.html

I don't know if either will work. I don't yet have my note, so I can't test it. I'd advise making a backup, just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdrayton:
Thanks Bmargm, but there is no SamsungSetupWizard.apk in my system/apps. Only a SetupWizard.apk. Makes me nervous about putting a new .apk in there. What you think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmargm:
Whoops, the thing I was talking about is in post two, my bad. Personally, when my phone arrives tomorrow, I'm gonna try the build.prop edit first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdrayton:
APN editor flash package doesn't work, see my post at the end of the thread you referenced.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044449&page=21

Also, the build.prop ril.... stuff makes the apn option dissappear from settings. It does let you choose CDMA only, instead of just CMDA/LTE, which helped me though.

I've ordered a used verizon US micro-sim card - that may be the easiest solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrep182:
I didn't read it all but I just glance at you guys talking about APN. FYI, my '+' button for APN is greyed out too, but when I inserted my friend's T-mobile SIM card to test it out, the '+' button became available and I was able to edit the APN
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmargm:
Yeah, I discovered this as well the other day. Seems that APN settings are locked until a SIM is inserted. Got it all straightened out on my end.

Installed Nokia Z Launcher - now I'm in a boot loop

So I installed the Nokia Z Launcher, and it worked well until I rebooted the phone. Now I'm in a boot loop. Removing the battery didn't help.

Is there any way to get out of this without reflashing the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dhouston10:
This *might* help. Try clearing cache and Dalvik cache via recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joeriv5692:

Thanks. I wasn't able to get past Verizon boot screen with TWRP. I am flashing now with Phils recovery. I will let everyone know how it goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
Confirmed. Air command works after dirty flash. Even with multi window on. Turned it on I tabbed settings. Don't remember seeing that option the first time. When I installed Google maps from play store it had Update as an option. Updated and got GPS lock.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Big0013:
Thank you much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Swogglerdev:
I got it past the boot screen.

These are the steps I took:

1. Downloaded via the torrent

2. Flashed firmware via Odin (toltevzw_mj9_official_firmware.tar.md5)

3. Flashed Phils Touch Recovery

4. Rebooted into Phils Recovery

5. Flashed ROM

6. Profit
