Just flashed V2.

Had no cellular reception - had to use this fixed that i found:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kgffgmzej3shhr7/nb4_N7100_Patched Modem_CWM.zip

Just flash this with recovery and phone can connect to network - AKA Fix "emergency calls only".

What i'm experiencing now is that I cannot log-in to play store no matter what.

I get - "there was a problem communicating with google servers try again later."

any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
wait for sometime. May be google play services and play store getting update.

retry after sometimes. otherwise remove and re add account.

What is sd card error?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
There is now a restriction in writing on external sd and this is to be fixed.
[Galaxy Note II General] Wacco001:
Cheers for all great work. :)

Regarding the external SD write error (which occurred on my N7100 after installing this V1.0 KitKat ROM) I found a quick solution here in the Play Store, called SDfix ...

Just to let you guys know ... :angel:

Cheers,

BTW,

Will test ROM 2.0 later, need to think if I will try to dirty flash it over version 1.0 or .. go for the factory reset ... (bit lazy at the moment :D)
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
Well known but thx anyway. I think Dr. Ketan is on research for a fundamental solution cause never content with small (half) fixes.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
This is information on play store from application you have mentioned.

Technical Details ]

NextApp SDFix will modify the configuration file located at /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to allow apps to write to the MicroSD card. Specifically, SDFix will add the Android UNIX group "media_rw" to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission's configuration. This will enable apps (only those that you granted write access permissions to when you installed them) to write files to the MicroSD card. On many devices, this is effectively reverting the state of this permission back to the way it was configured in Android 4.3. This modification is carried out by modifying the existing XML file, rather than replacing it.

And this already applied in V1 too.

Whtaever happened to you may not be exactly this.

You can check platfomr.xml and You will see extra permission for Ext Sd storage in V1 too. what this app does exactly.

V2 have additional fix for read/write and titanium restore data error

Once you apply fix as per said in instruction for V2, This issue should get fixed permanently (some app available to fix issue is requred to fix everytime you restore titanium data)
[Galaxy Note II General] Wacco001:
Thank you for kindly informing!

Don't know what happened with original flashing ROM V1, but somehow writing to my ext. SD only started to work after I ran that tool. :confused:

Again, thanks for informing and my respect for all work done !! :good:

Cheers,
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
This may be structural issue. May been fixed if you had tried int SD fix from Utilities. Actually I named int SD fix but can correct same issue on ext SD.

Hi [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

Sorry If its off topic here, but can you enlighten me on the advantages and disadvantages of changing the device name in the build.prop?? I had seen on some thread that it changes something but I didn't understand what it actually means/does. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Samsung have enable disable certain features for certain device

Like systemui have source for both S5 and note2 but if build.prop have device name note2 then S5 setting will be masked. So if you change device name in build.prop then those features will be activated like quick panel Toggle.

Disadvantages is some other applications which also check device name can malfunction like S-view cover. If your device having different name than original S-view cover may not work properly. Also play store make some applications incompatible for your device.

[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

One more question doc. I have the ML4 bootloader. Both the NB4 and the NC2 leaks had the 'reboot when switched off and put on charging' bug, now if I flash the ND3 ROM, will that bug go away or will I have to update the bootloader as well?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
With that new bootloader ND3 the problem is solved, so I recommend the update.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
you have to flash bootloader from KK

I have posted same place with V2

Edit : [MENTION=5564860]Androidwizzard[/MENTION] : Now you are faster. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] android.zealot.fervor:
Dr.ketan .... sorry I am asking some other question irrelevant to this thread.

Once you ported note 3 launcher to note 2 but It was having lockscreen wallpaper fc issue. Later you resolved the problem.

Can you please tell me how did you remove that fc ? Plzz sir

I have asked a number of ppl on xda regarding this question but jo one helped :( :crying:
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Really difficult to recall what I did 6month ago to fix a error, as after that I may have released many roms and sorted plenty of issue. But you should look for wallpaper chooser for that.
[Galaxy Note II General] jasminedd:
Dr. Ketan, didn't well understand... If I update to KK bootloader could I eventually downgrade to 4.3 without problems, first downgrading booloader and then restoring my 4.3 backup?

Thank you...

No matter for warranty... ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] ias94:
Afaik bootloader can't be downgraded. A custom 4.3 ROM can be installed but not a stock one I guess.

The update has broken SPB Wallet.

When I try to open my password wallet, the screen goes black for a second and then drops me back at the "enter pin" screen.

Any idea's? I've tried the data bug fix, the data fix and the intsd fix, with no luck.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I think applying ext SD fixed missed in rom in v2 (surely was there in v1)

Let you know in hr after reaching office. If missed then will provide fix.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I am extremely sorry.

I can confirm I have missed to apply ExtSD fix in V2

Uploading Fix .

These may be due to I have missed applying ExtSD fix

Wait I am uploading in half an hr. Just flash it and check.

Again Extremely sorry.

ND3 updated to V3 (Ext SD card Fix)

All V2 user need not to download V3, Instead flash Ext_SD Fix (available in download area of V3)
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Ok, now I have a huge problem.

I was on 4.1.2.

I flashed Philz touch 6.26.

Went into the recovery.

Did a factory reset.

Flashed this Rom.

Went through the Aroma installer (which seemed to go fine).

Then I waited a good 10 minutes and it just sat there.

I knew I had waited long enough (as per istructions) so I went ahead and booted into DownLoad mode.

Flashed that KK bootloader you have linked to (and yes, I selected the "bootloader tab"). It said Success.

It started to reboot but nothing ever happened. I waited even longer than the suggested 10 minutes this time. Nothing.

Now its just stuck on the very first screen that says "Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100".

I can't boot it into Recovery.

I can boot it into Download Mode, and it now shows that "Knox Warrenty Void: 1" and "RP SWREV: A2"

What can I do to resurrect this phone? I can't try installing the Rom again because I can't get into Recovery, and I don't think you have an Odin version of this Rom, so I'm kind of stuck for the time being.

Any help would be much appreciated!!
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Flash stock recovery
[Galaxy Note II General] rishab singhal:
query

Do I require pre root to install this rom
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
No

ROM is prerooted. No needs to have root nor you needs to root after flashing.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Ok. I have flashed stock recovery.

(It is still stuck on the same screen.)
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Now there should be recovery and Now device booted?

If not booting then reflash CWM and ROM
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Nothing has changed.

Ok, I'm downloading CWM from here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2000138 ) and will try again right now....

Ok. I flashed CWM with Odin (PDA tab) and it said success.

However, I'm still stuck on that first screen.

I can still get into Download Mode, but NOT Recovery Mode.

:(
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Flash CWM Philz recovery, you have posted is wrong.

Get link from V3 download post.

Once you get CWM, reflash ROM and wipe data.

Edit :

This one exactly, flash with Odin

[Galaxy Note II General] husokal:
Downloaded V2 md5 matched.

Recovery: Right version.

Flashed nd3 bootloader with odin: Succes. /checked

Made Full wipe and Choosed Zip from Sd card

Skipped removing and restoring bloatwares. Flashing finished.

I pressed Next. So how long should i wait in here?

Im waiting for 20 mins

What should i do if it remains

My external sd inside the device. Maybe this is reason for stuck there?
[Galaxy Note II General] ias94:
Hi [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]. Sorry for troubling you again. My Knox is already void. (ML4 Bootloader). Will upgrading to the ND3 cause any problems? And is there any other way to do it apart from Odin ?
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Thanks, but I'm still not getting Recovery Mode. That just isn't working.

Odin shows it as a success, and I can get into download mode, but not Recovery.

What now?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
No problem with new BL, on the contrary regarding charging while device turned off. Only Odin will do the job at the moment, except french OTA

Are you sure you press the right buttons: volume up + power + home button
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Thank you for checking, but YES, I'm 100% certain I'm holding the buttons correctly. (Also, I am 100% certain the volume UP key is working, because in order to get into Mode I also have to press the volume UP key to "continue," so that rules out me or a faulty button.)

Any other suggestions?

I'm going to download the one from SamMobile that I can flash via Odin just to get my phone functional again so I can start over with this.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated right now...

thx

:(
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
No to be misunderstood: I don't wanted to offend you, just exclude for certainty. No idea at the moment other than yours, hopefully it works cause at the end you'll again have to flash recovery.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
You just needs wipe device and that will be gained with recovery.

Just try this

press volume up+power +home and once you see Samsung text just release power and keep holding other two for some time

If this doesn't work then just flash stock rom and once reboot to recovery wipe data.
[Galaxy Note II General] husokal:
Stucked And i just pressed power button and reboot..

My phone started i registered it.

Only urgent calls..

Everything else seems okay. What should i do ?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Wipe data and Reflash rom. Ext SD has nothing to do with stuck
[Galaxy Note II General] WeeJockMacFeegle:
Fabulous. My thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Thank you both for your help.

For whatever reason, it just wasn't going into Recovery Mode. Trust me, I was doing that part right at least, lol..

I flashed the SamMobile version, then I flashed your version and everything went smooth.

So far, so good!!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Don't worry it's not new on 4.4.2.

Many times I have got such reports, and final solution is just what you did.
[Galaxy Note II General] MartinMo:
bootloader questions

Is there no possibility to download the french original stock rom via kies or SamMobile and to extract the new bootloader and to update the installed bootloader with this extracted file (or to install the complete stock rom once - including the new bootloader and install Dr. Ketans rom later)?

I once installed the stock 4.3 rom as tar file by using mobile odin and as far as I understand/thought I also updated the bootloader. I just checked with the info app and I've got the bootloader MK9, so I have a new bootloader. Now I'm interested to install the kitkat bootloader, because it seems to me - after reading this thread - that it works better with Dr. Ketans v3 rom.

The other question I've got: Is it safe to use MK9 rom (only rooted and Xposed Framework in use) with the newest bootloader, or will this combination lead to trouble? I ask because I need to know if I can use my mk9 nandroid (made by TWRP) if something important won't work on/with the new rom. Thanks for help!
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Kitkat bootloader already posted on post 5

You can flash anytime after flashing Rom.

There shouldn't issue using older rom (nandroid) on kk bootloader. Just you have to downgrade using nandroid /cwm /mobile Odin.

(pc Odin will fail if you downgrade any stock rom having older bootloader)
[Galaxy Note II General] MartinMo:
Thank you dr. ketan. If I understand you right I can flash the new kitkat bootloader and before changing back to 4.3 nandroid I have to flash mk9 bootloader via mobile odin or via Nandroid Backup. I got only one more noob question (sorry!) - after searching the answer for 1/2 an hour, I didn't find a complete answer: Is the bootloader also a part of the usual TWRP nandroid? I saw that it safes a boot.img but I'm not sure that this is the same like a bootloader. If you could post me a link to a good nandroid documentation that would be fine, too! I only found uncomplete informations...
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
Nandroid keeps the whole system to restore, also BL
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
? What

You mean nandroid restores bl?

Nope.
[Galaxy Note II General] l154:
My apologies in advance... But I can't help myself telling you guys!!!:(

The freaking file hosts SUCK BIG TIME.

There, I said it.

I mean... This is now the third time dev-host just randomly goes down to 0 B/s, and after a while the connection gets terminated. After about 1 hour of downloading! No resume, no nothing. I was never so frustrated downloading a file that would normally take like 1 minute. pCloud gives like 10-200 kb/s... I even registered, copied it to my cloud... still the same. This must be a joke, right? Jeez...

Just to make it clear: I'm thankful for your contribution (OP and ketan) and don't mean to disrespect you and your work -- Not at all. I know it's not your fault. It's just that those hosts ruin the fun in it completely. At least for me here in germany.

Anyway, take care, and keep up the good work. I may be able to give some feedback during the next weeks if my download finally finishes. :P

Cheers:eek:
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Download pCloud mobile app from play store and download with it. It also have resume option. Speed also will be fine.
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
Oops sorry for that nonsens, of course not. Too hard a day today I'll stay quiet till tomorrow.

Even odin version posted there is not safe because it's tar not tar.md5 and odin can't check md5 so any corrupt download will end with brick.

I had this not registered to network problem. It solved it. So I think yes :)
[Galaxy Note II General] tabbishmahmood:
Great thanks :) that means i can go ahead and install this ROM. Just one more thing.. I am unable to use any other modem except MJ9. Do you have any idea why??

In case i flash any other modem, my sim wont register on network.
[Galaxy Note II General] MartinMo:
OK, I think I finally understood what you meant. I EDIT: flashed the ND3 bootloader you posted in post 5 (EDIT: with Odin 3.07) and till now it just worked fine with my current 4.3 jb rom. If I would ever want to come back to this system in the future I can downgrade to my current nandroid without any problems, just by restoring the nandroid via TWRP (what I'm using at the moment). Right?

What is the safest way to take my data of the old 4.3 rom with me to the new 4.4.2 rom? Are the opportunities of the apps to restore saved data better/safer than using a titanium backup, for example the backup Nova Launcher makes of its settings (if I want to)?

And what is the best way of securing the internal sdcard contents? Using the aroma file explorer which comes with your rom and copying it to external SD?
[Galaxy Note II General] alonewolfx2:
i think too :) thank you
