[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GrainOsand:
Not true. I could not jig my device it was dead. Would not start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] siegal9:
Yeah, if you can't jig it I'm pretty sure it's dead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KOBOL:
what hapend whit your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GrainOsand:
Bricked after bad Ota update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KOBOL:
this unbricker can help u unbrick phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GrainOsand:
I do not the the skills to short out that little resistor. Are you using silicone to help the wire stay put? If you posted a video of the process I am sure I can duplicate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KOBOL:
no i solder wires and home button to short resistor. u can use pincet. u need short 3-5 seconds not more ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mechanic473:
downgrade operating system

Hello KOBOL that is some awesome work you have done to find this. I am still not clear if this will let you boot up to a older firmware without bootloader being locked up tight. And if you can downgrade the firmware without bricking device. Please advise Thank You
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] onefast50:
I have a spare mother board and want to try this but how the heck do I solder something that tiny, i can barley see it let alone solder on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GrainOsand:
Ditto
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KOBOL:
for soldering u need microscope or u can use pincet. short just 3-5 sec
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KOBOL:
as u can see no one try to downgrade phone. just 1 user unbrick phone after flash n7100 firmware like me. exynos cpu is not fused whit knox then downgrade possible. easy jtag direct emmc conection can downgrade any exynos cpu and make knox waranty to 0. i dont know if my unbricker downgrade bootloader, need someone who can try it. i sold my phone when i make this thread :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Domush:
Anyone willing to try this method to downgrade? If so, please post a video or pics of the process for us to follow.

I'll try in a heartbeat if I have pics and a walk through to follow

Cant load VRALJB Sd-UnBrick .img

So, this is my first time posting hopefully I'm doing this right lol :eek:

ok, so I have this i605 note 2 that had VRALJB I believe, this phone was soft bricked by a customer not me. but i managed to get it up and

running using root66_VZW_stock_system.tar but later soft bricked again. Ive tried ODIN using boot-stock-aljb-SCHI605 which it took but would

always get stuck at the Samsung logo and cant enter "recovery" but will enter 'download mode'. So I ended up here, I did the resistor jump with

my own twist using an IPAD home button. when I use the VRALJB unbricker nothing just a blank screen. So I tried MJ9 unbricker which gave

the "SDCARD MODE" I press volume down and "APMB: INVALID APMB DATA". Is the VRALJB unbricker corrupted ? can some one upload a

new or can some one show me how to make my own boot.img. Any help would be awesome been at this for 2 weeks now and im at a loss.

I have images if you need them wont let me post outside links since im a "noob" :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KOBOL:
if your phone boot on samsung logo then boitloader is fine, somthing other is corupted. this unbrickers tested by me

Cant load VRALJB Sd-UnBrick .img

Device no longer boots it is hard bricked now, I have tried VRALJB unbricker (old bootloader) i605 unbrick sdcard.rar. Image does not load just a blank screen. Using i605 MJ9 unbricker.rar yields this error "APMB: INVALID APMB DATA". So were to now? Am I out of options here since there are only two files and one of them "no boot" and the other has an "ERROR". Thanks :silly:

I soldered this using a microscope and verified my connection and they work with MJ9 unbricker.rar. Unsuccessful booting up VRALJB unbricker, just a blank screen. I am very well rehearsed in surface mount soldering and board level type repairs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] The:Dude:
I'm curious if anybody was ever able to downgrade the bootloader using this method.. I saw several people say they were going to/willing to try it, but never saw any positive or negative results.. I know lots of people would be interested in this if we knew one way or the other.. In a few months my wife will be due for an upgrade and I'll get her hand-me-down and I can give it a shot then if nobody else has, but that won't be until February of 16..

I605 unauthorized software brick

I605 unauthorized software bricked. Flashed twrp with goo manager and restarted. Brick. Odin flashed with every stock rom possible. Won't rid of the lock. Tried flashing boot but fails every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donaldanttila:
I haven't tried rooting this phone in years but I went through the same thing as you. Verizon did something so that (way back then, I don't know about new rooting techniques) this phone wouldn't run anything but a stock recovery. As a matter of fact I tried to install the same recovery and got the same results. I got mine back using this video and haven't touched mine since I got it back up.

Enhancing SD boot .img for SCH-I605 ND7 (locked) bootloader

[MENTION=379683]KOBOL[/MENTION]:

,could you give us a hand a bit with experiences / methods - as there I have a similar case of corrupted SCH-I605 - but with 4.4.2 ND7 bootloader (locked one) and 16GB EMMC .pit

I grasp the resistor switching to SDcard.

What I do not know yet is what is necessary , and how can we enhance this SD boot to download mode with assembling an SD .img for 4.4.2 ND7 corrupted bootloader - in this case 16GB EMMC (i.e. .pit) version of SCH-I605 that seem to be corrupted, therefore losing the bootloader.

(In more details, the brick happened before, or during flashing via ODIN while on a bad battery or something-totally out of the blue receiving FAIL! and being bricked afterwards.

Anyway, I want to construct SDcard boot to download mode for that reason , and not to lose the existing data on EMMC.)

Question:

-What are important stuff to modify from the older bootloaders SD emergency boot .img ?

-Just on top off my head -> Can we extract bootloader off SCH-I605 4.4.2 ND7s' firmware to assemble the SDcard unbrick image or which way to go?

I want to solve it for 4.4.2ND7 - but would appreciate your help/experience on this.

Resources: (FYI)

I also have dedicated thread on solving SCH-I605 ND7 problematics as it becomes a legacy phone.

There I have resources posted , like Samsungs' open-sourced SCH-I605 4.4.2ND7 kernel and platform source on their open-source page for their handsets, etc.. (I know, that goes after the bootloader)

For the EFS stuff - I have a backup from my own ND7 so that is supposedly not a problem.

That leaves us with the point: how to get the system in download mode so that we can flash firmware correctly back to EMMC , with the correct .pit so that the existing data does not get destroyed?

Also, as a next possibility, how to fix if .pit is damaged as well , or ultimately - how to just read the existing EMMC data and ditch the motherboard?

Cheers,

DMRtech

i made a little mistake and dont have a nandroid backup nor a rom on my phone.

so, i made a factory reset and let it boot up, i want to know how long the boot takes at the first time after a complete full factory reset? (stucking at the LG logo currently and the LED is fading from blue into green)

Because im not even able to sideload with twrp, im getting this:

I've had the phone about 3 weeks and before whenever I entered someone's birthday under their contact info the birthday was automatically on my calendar. Now, for some reason it's not doing that if I had any new birthdays.

Any idea why it stopped putting the bdays on my calendar??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jayd:
anyone?!?!?!? :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] psychotron:
I have the same problem. In fact, my contact birthdays have never translated over to my calendar. It works for my friend who has the same phone, although he imported his contacts from Outlook using ActiveSync. Anyone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TcT:
The default behaviour is that the birthdays are put into the calendar when you syncronize with outlook.

Or in detail: outlook puts your contacts birthdays into the calender which are then synced with your device. So new birthdays don't automatically show up if you didn't sync.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] psychotron:
Thanks TcT. You have confirmed my suspicions. Once I synced my Calendar and Contacts with Outlook, my phone calendar populated with contact birthdays. Thanks.

FAQ and Know issues:

device speaker is low

Probam samsung kernel support boeffla sound engine , so you can install it from this link and enable speaker tunning

when probam in black turn on , the systemui make force close

try to switch off black ui then restart and try enable it again

after dirty flash the device hangs and systemui make force close

you need to make wipe all and clean cache and make fresh install in this case

when try video recoding the device freeze or slow down

screen video record with ondemand or pegasusq governors u will have a laggy recorded video. If you try with performance governor from performance in settings , then the video will be a lot smoother.

Camera crashing some times and not works anymore "camera not connected"

the rom included an small application "camera restart" you can use it for fix this issue

titanium recovery not restore my applications

For those who cannot find their previous files, because CM based rom will target the sdcard storage to use root/0/ directory.

So normally all the files besides the root/0/ directory will not be shown on the file explorer.

To solve this, you will need a file browser that has ROOT capability, eg. Root Explorer

then go to mnt/shell/emulated/ all your file should be here.

Now move all the files into mnt/shell/emulated/0/ folder.

Should solve the problem.

Privacy guard IS working?

after enabling privacy guard in security settings

you have to switch to settings>apps and then choose to enable or disable each app individually.

I'm sure nobody would want to tick every single app, that would almost be the same as enabling airplane mode.

I want PIE!

Here is the alternative PIE

General Questions:

Need to install Gapps ?

no

"Wipe needed before install ProBam?"

If you come from a different Rom :
