[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
Looking forward to it, I have been building Note3 and S4 roms for awhile now, no issues what so ever, but this Note2 root issue is giving me fits, I have tried everything, still have root errors. I have rooted MK7 4.3 no problem, flashed a few kk 4.4 ND3 roms, all having the same root issue, CF root is not working, may have to keep this phone on 4.3, getting real frustrated....

all I am looking for is a de-odexed 4.4 rom. Built my copy using archikitchen, no problems, flashed perfect, and the root problem is there also....wow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
did you OTA 4.4? or you cant inject root into your rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
No sir, I know about that, still on 4.3. Weirdest thing I ever saw, use CFRoot, lose recovery, so I am continuously odin back and forth....arrrgg!!!

I bet it has to do with knox, and on every rom tried, knox has been removed.....I hate getting to the party late on a device....:D

I can not get root injected into the rom, correct...no matter what procedure I try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
all you need to do is flash latest supersu zip to gain root. but to get it working on boot I am told to enable init.d in the boot.img and it will work. so that is what im working on now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
Done the supersu 1.94 zip, same result.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
Weird it is working for me

Of course for the users that need WiFi Calling, we must continue to wait for T-Mo's official build whilst everybody else enjoys 4.4 on the Note 2. :(

Yes, Sir you did.:cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
how far have you gotten? I have the init.rc file open as I type this. I just added the lines needed (hopefully). do you know how to set selinux to permissive (while I have the boot.img open already)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
lol, we are all on the same issue....WHATS OUR SOLUTION? My tech is pulling his hair out in the tech room...heheh I love it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
I am almost done, first flashing the kernel and checking if it boots.

I was able to change the Se linux to permissive on the MK7 kernel but no luck on this one so far, even the se linux mode changer does not work.

I changed line 188, 600 to 0 from 1 and added a line setenforce 0 after the stopbootanim command in init.rc.

I also changed few things within default.prop in kernel allowing insecure adb.

Update: Updated kernel boots fine, I now do not see the SELinux status in about status but getforce command returns Enforcing.

I will pack this with the rooted ROM and see if root works out of the box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
Nice, good work for sure....good luck!:good::good:

Ok, I finally got root to stick on fresh build using EzKat stock kernel, my problem is I was trying to root this rom with it being de-odexed, not going to happen, loses root everytime....so...looks as if the root issue is having issues with de-odexed....we must find another kernel, but as it has been stated, we only have one.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Was this resolved after adding the init.d support ?

I think the security restrictions on stock kernel (4.4.2) are not letting SuperSu.apk access the su binary.

Also, can you verify if you get LTE on this N7105 4.4.2 built ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] truckerdewd:
That's the thing that's holding me back from flashing it to my phone. I want to make sure I will be able to get LTE.

Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy Note 2 using my fingers. Duh!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
No sir, no modifications to the init.d, weird, backing up now, I will test a couple things to make sure it is working, all apps that are requesting Supersu seem to be taking the root.....I will do some power tests.....

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Now i did see that it was not LTE, H+ 3g, jumping from 3g to 4g so maybe the location I am at, at the moment, hell, I was so excited that the root took, I jumped in and started running my mouth....I will report back in a few....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
I am not getting LTE on this N7105 build, I do get full LTE on 4.3 MK7 though. I did verify the APN settings on 4.3 vs 4.4.2 and they look same(unless I am missing something).

Just ran a speedtest on 4.4.2 and I am getting 21.57 Mbps DL and 10.81 Mbps upload.

Also with 4.4.2 the sdcard becomes read-only and not all apps can be moved to sd. :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
I am getting 4g....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
21.57 DL should be LTE, no? That is pretty fast results....

I am going to keep pounding it for a few hours, I will post any results to help out....

I do know this, do not use ANY updater scripts from the 7105 roms, they may seem they are installing correctly, but something is breaking during the flash process....my tech is looking at that updater script now.....

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

The sdcard read only issue is going to be kernel related period, I went thru that on my Note3, when I started build those roms.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
What do you mean by fix root? Does root stick on first boot or do you have to still flash supersu
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
I had to flash the rom, run supersu BEFORE I booted the 1st time, and then I just zipped thru the setup just to get to supersu, which then said I had binary issue, reboot to recovery flashed the supersu 1.94 again, booted, and root worked....go figure...have done it 2 times now, both gave me root....

I have backed up, and restored 3-4 times now, working on something else, and root works everytime....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
4g icon is lte. H+ is 4g. 3g is 3g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
But our issue is that we can't get the rom pre rooted.

Meaning that root is working right out of the box after a fresh rom flash.

I'm working on that now.

Sent from my NoteII
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AxAtAx:
Yes sir, I am aware of that, I was having the no root working period, now, I can move on to finding out why it does not inject when we use ArchiKitchen....I did see that if you build and do deodex, that we can not get root at all, leaving it odexed, at least gives us root, I have went back in to kitchen and tried to re-inject busybox, it says it is already done, my tech and I are still working on this to....just trying to help and fit in here....

Just trying to catch up to where you guys are, we are working on it also here.....

We think the problem lies with a or some apk's that are in the framework dir, something in that dir is breaking root.....we did get that far......

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

I was just giving an example of the 4g to show it was working, for the Dallas area here, 4g is LTE....

my speed test showed 26.31 Dl, and 15.74 Ul...lte to me....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nick N:
You can also use a program like Advance Signal Status to verify if LTE radio is working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Yes, you guys are right, it is LTE but it just does not show LTE below the 4G icon.

No back to the problem of creating a flashable zip with root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
I have tried everything I could and am still where I was.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
After some tinkering it does show 4G LTE icon now but still no luck with root of out the box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Yeah easy way to get that icon is to change your model in build prop. Like if I change to SGH-I317 I get that icon. Or you can just change name of png file.

I'm almost done with root out of box and I'll PM you the directions once I finish this project.

Waiting to root Note 2 after 4.4 is released

Would it be a better idea to root the Note 2 with 4.3 now or wait until there is a 4.4 update that is stable and everything works?

Wifi Calling, etc. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] truckerdewd:
I found this step by step article for rooting the 4.4.2 update for the N7105. Thought it might help.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
That depends heavily on you and what is important to your situation.

I have found that I don't really use WIFI calling much anymore. When foresee that I'll need it I can restore JMX2 to my device in about 4-5 minutes. This insight has unlocked my horizons for ROM use.

If you want something that works perfectly and "stable" (which to me is a place where horses sleep) try Tweaked BT dwitherell. That is about the last TW TMo ROM that fits the bill.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] el0heem:
i for one would rather wait for an official release, even if it isn't root injected. granted, i don't know the method you went though to flash 4.4 onto your phone, but i like not having to flash rom/kernel/patch etc, i like flashing one thing and having every function of the phone in working order without hassle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Squilchi:
i merely flashed the zip through twrp, no hassle at all everything worked for me right out of the box...yeah i had to root it after but im sure there is a root injected version out there now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mieshco:
A noob question maybe, but since you flashed KK, is it possible to flash a CM 11 rom from N7100 thread on T-mo note 2? I already unlocked and rooted the device and I wonder if I can switch to a KK rom from the unbranded version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
Not a n7100 on a T889 only N7105 roms will work.

TW4.4.2 DN3 is released on the AT&T Dev section. Yes it's compatible for our T889. I'm using it now. Still uses a lot of ram just like the 4.3 version. Thinking of switching back to the S5 Rom I was using.

I am looking to install AT&T DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM for SGH-i317, SGH-i317M, N7105 from Electron Team (E-Team) but i have a few questions.

The instructions say to.

Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1

Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset.

Install latest CWM recovery

I tried clicking on the link for TWRP 2.6.3.1 but it doesn't work. Which TWRP do i use, link?

I currently have TWRP 2.6.3.0 will this version work or do have to have 2.6.3.1?

How do i install CWM in TWRP. All i see is a cwm.tar file? is there a CWM zip file i can flash with TWRP?

Also after i install the latest CWM i don't restart, just flash Install DN3 v3.1.1 (LTE Edition) correct?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
I googled this

http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0ltetmo

Scroll Down to the very bottom 2.7.1.0

Thats flashable in recovery.

Flash the new recovery. In order for you to see the changes you'll need to reboot back into recovery.... im pretty sure either recovery you use has the option to reboot back into recovery...if youre not familiar with the sub-menus inside recovery I suggest you get acquainted.

And Im also pretty sure you only need either of the recoveries not both...

Pick one or the other... I've provided the link to twrp's newest which supports new things (what? I couldnt tell you. You'll have to read twrp's website)

When you flash DN3 V4 Beta 2 you'll also need

•Bootloader 4.1.2 or above

•AGNi 4.0+ kernel if you're on 4.1.2 Bootloader to make wifi work

•SuperSu 1.99 just incase

•T-Mobile's Modem/Radio MK7

And you'll need to wipe your Internal SDCard so you need to backup those files on there. (Either move them to your external sdcard or move them to your pc)

Before flashing Wipe System, Data, Dalvik-Cache, Cache & Internal SdCard/Memory (wipe it 3 times just to be sure its clean)

After you finish wiping reboot back into recovery (use recovery menu to find the option to reboot into recovery)

Now you can flash the Rom.

Flash the rom only... let it boot.

Then once you're at the setup screen you can reboot back into recovery and flash the modem and superSu if needed.

Good Luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2Quik:
Thank you for the response but i am still confused on the following steps.

Install latest CWM recovery

Install DN3 v3.1.1 (LTE Edition). Pick N7105 instead of I317, otherwise you will stuck at "Sumsung" glowing

Do i reboot system after i install the latest CWM recovery

then install DN3 in CWM

or

Do I Install CWM & DN3 in TWRP??

Also where is the flashable CWM to flash in TWRP, link?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] truckerdewd:
You don't have to install CWM unless you prefer that recovery. You can flash either the latest CWM recovery or the latest TWRP recovery. If tour flash CWM, it will change your recovery to that instead of TWRP.

Thank you for the clarification.

I was reading a few pages in the AT&T DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM for SGH-i317, SGH-i317M, N7105 from Electron Team (E-Team) forum and it seems as people are having some issues with the kernel. Some people have had luck with the Devil, Agni and stock.

I am curious to know which version of these kernels(Devil, Agni and stock) work with DN3 for T889 Tmobile?

Or do i need to install the T889 Tmobile kernel(T889UVALL4)?

Sorry for the questions.

thanks.
