Thanks a lot again for the advice :)

I couldn't find a phil Z thing to use which is why I went with CF.

However I believe I found another instruction from April 2015 "How to Install Philz Touch Recovery on Note 2 N7100 with ODIN" so will try to run that one then as I thought I could only use the Phil Z mentioned at the start of this by now 2 year old thread. From what I saw in the youtube vid the most recent phil Z is recommended, is that right? Also it seems that one also is one of the few where I still found a working link to Phil Z's. So after having done the Phil'z thing I should be able to install the DN4 Rom right?

Will keep you posted on my progress... so far it's been a pain spending hours of searching through threads on google for the stuff I needed along with the current info up to date anno 2015 :)
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
It's not that hard,you'll know when you Done it yourself. We are not master minds or dev. I'm just like you bro with a bit more experience. So this is the full instruction what you should do:

1. Flash philz recovery throw odin or flashify or any other way you can find. Im using the same version i used 2 years ago but new is always better so flash the latest version you can find.

2 . Flash super user throw recovery to root your device

3. Backup your old rom throw philz

4. wipe all data/ dalvik cache / cache partition ( you must do it always before flashing any rom )

5. Flash dn4

6. Download and flash latest agni kernel ( this is optional you can flash it later)

This is the link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311094

7. Reboot and enjoy your perfect note 2 with perfect masterpiece dn4 ?

8. you can flash this mod too it's for dn4 and brings you alot of features : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2967775
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
When I press Home+Power+ Volume up it just boots normal, what am I missing here?

Ok I followed the movie on youtube with ODin and PhilZ 6.48.4 and it worked then when it's rebooting is when I had to press Volume Up+home+ Power untile samsung NT7100 logo came up and release which led me to the phil z mode :) thanks!

Will hit back up to storage/sdcard1 which I hope is my external one... can I move the backup file to my pc for safekeeping?
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Made the nandroid backup I think...

about step 4 where do I do this from which app or menu?
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
These are in main menu of philz recovery and dalvik cache is in advance menu of philz .

Sdcard 1 is you external sdcard and yes you can move it to your pc for safe keeping but remember if you wanna use it to restore your rom you should put it exactly where it was!!
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
ok so when I wipe the data factory reset thing and clear cache the backup will actually be left alone on my device?

Cheers mate,

The DN4 ROM has been installed and Agni was also installed already it seems :)

Thanks a lot

one more question if I would want to overclock to 1.9GHz what settings would work best in Agni for voltage etc... as I don't know anything about that?
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
That's great enjoy the best rom ever made for note 2 ? ok best agni setting I've used is this:

Agni main setting : battery save

Governor : lulzactiveq

Max cpu frequency : don't go up to 1920 . 1800 is enough .your phone will fly ?.

Cpu undervolting : -20

Gpu frequency :160/266/350/440/600

Gpu undervolting : -25

Ac charge rate : 2000

Usb charge rate :1000

And you have sound setting too which is optional you can set it as you like.

Update your agni kernel it's on 4.4.5 version now and it's improved alot.

And think about that mod i shared it's brings you lollipop and s6 features

Good luck mate and enjoy ??
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Thanks a lot again for these great tips :) I like the sound of lolipop and S6 features, this can all be flashed from the Phil Z menu like install from zip?

i won't have to back up everything first again etc as I'm basically staying on the DN4 Rom only adding extra mods, right? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
Don't worry you are still on dn4 this mod is just adding some new features of lollipop that makes dn4 even more awesome! too flash kernel you don't need to wipe anything .just flash as you flashed dn4. But for the mod you need too wipe cache and dalvik cache . Don't wipe all user data because that will erase dn4 . Just cache partition / dalvik cache . Then flash v2l mod as it is latest version till now
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Thanks again checking the v2l mod page the third post is the mod I'm after right? which download link do I use?

MOD EDIT: Links removed.

TW Launcher Like S6 (5X6) <-- I'm guessing this one?

Multi User Mode
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
I don't know what happened to the main mod link .but it's not there ask in there for the mod v2l link they will give you the link that thread is not dead like this and very active . The 2 other link is for 2 tiny mod that is good to flash .download and flash them too after you flashed v2l
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
I've found the link you can use to dl the mod : http://www.mediafire.com/?tfnxpygh6fy54em

Download this and the two other link from thread then flash them all and you're good to go [emoji6]

[MENTION=5686657]smeet.somaiya[/MENTION] :highfive:

please add into OP that it is completely useless to root the device in order to flash any custom rom afterwards, so custom recovery is enough :good:

INFO FOR USERS:

Custom roms have knox removed and are (pre-) rooted. :good::highfive:
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Thanks a lot again for the link and all the help and info :)

Noticed that the pointer of the S-pen is off a bit in this mod will this be fixed? For now I just disabled the pointer so it's more like a real life pencil :)

Also do I need to remove the other agni kernel thing or will the new one just overwrite the old one?

Any idea what the deal is with the 240 dpi mod?

What exactly does it do?

-Just flashed agni kernel with the one you said, don't see any difference immediately is that right or was I supposed to remove the old one somehow?

- Flashed the DN4 Mod V2L after that (after wiping cache and Dalvik cache)

-flashed the TW S6 thing

and finally rebooted

Seems I can't acces my settings menu anymore? slide down and see a few of the options but when I hit the cogwheel for settings nothing happens??

The only way to access my settings menu is by using the appdrawer I have from my Action 3 Launcher.

Also the menu button with which you normally call up the open applicationwindows (bottom left button) doesn't do anything anymore as well.

How do I go back to before I flashed the last mods?

Just did a restore and flashed DN4 again, was I supposed to flash both V9 and V2L one after the other?

Holy crap on toast, just figured out there's multiple downloads on Team electron's site :( guessing the DN4 V2.1 was the latest including all previous 5 updates that came out before for DN4...

So should've downloaded and installed that one (V2.1) instead of the one I have now...
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
No need to remove anything for agni just flash the new version every time and set the setting i told you. 240 dpi makes your ui small and you have more space on your screen . But this is the standard dpi don't change it.

About mod v9. No need too flash it first just flash the v2l it has all the v9 features . About the problems you asked i never faced them try flashing v2l mod again without wiping anything (it called dirty flash) see if it fixed or not. If not ask your question in mod's thread they can help you. Check your system partition too (with titanium backup app) and see if you have 250 mb free space or not. If not free some space and flash the mod again.
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Flashed DN4 again this time with the 5 updates and rebooted ran set up first time.

Then installed DN4 V2L (dirty flash) and now everything seems to work :)

Don't know about agni kernel yet think if it ain't broke don't fix it? ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
Wo wo wooo wait a minute did you flash dn4 v1??? flash dn4 v2.1 the latest version that need non of those 5 updates. Those update are for v1 of dn4.

Here is the link : http://electron-team.com/dn4v2.html
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Backing up the v1 Rom now as that one seems to be working so far :)

Then will flash the DN4 V2.1 and see what it does :)

Pffft I Flashed the 2.1 everything went well I think untill I used the Link2SD and it had to convert sd card to other format, then had to reboot device and same story again; settings button not working anymore other buttons not working either anymore.

I'll stick with the V1+5 updates that one worked well for me :) Spen pointer was ok there too in the V2.1 I got the pointer hovering in wrong place again.

Restoring now to that one.

Thanks anyway, had it up till here now with flashing :)
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
V2.1 is the best dn4 .maybe you do something wrong.i have no problem with it and I'm using it for months. it's not the best idea to stick with older version but as long as you are happy .it's ok ? good luck
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Feel so embarassed, decide to install DN4 V2.1 again and try it.

Same as before freeze, crash like situation until I decided to give the phone a bit more time to boot... :s

Seems it just needs a bit more time to boot and I wasn't patient enough before. Doh! Pen pointer is still off though hope I can fix that with the V2.1L Mod?

Also finally downloaded and installed the right version of the agni kernel: "PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.4.5_N7100_4.4.x_AROMA" instead of "AGNi_PSN_KiTKaT_extSD_APPS_WRITE_ENABLER"

Now I do see the difference between the two versions.
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
Hahahahaa you remember me of my first time flashing a rom ? .don't be embarrassed buddy we all were like you . Yes pointer will be fix after flashing v2l

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

Follow the frums and read carefully what people discussing about. you'll be catching up soon .it's not that hard
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Nooooo... everything was installed again and running ok, decided to give V2L another chance and SPen was fixed indeed but settings menu and other buttons except back button are not working anymore again...

Sigh...

Did a wipe data/factory reset in PhilZ and rebooted everything works now but had to set up everything again and redownload 300+apps for the umptieth time...

Does this mean I am still on V2L?

where can I check on what Mod I am?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
Check if you have custom settings in your setting .this means you're on v2l mod. And ui is different from dn4 message app is orange incall ui is green and file manager is orange
[Galaxy Note II General] moneuil:
Gotcha :) yup still on V2L then if I had known wipe data/ factory reset only wiped user data not ROM data then I would have done that earlier instead of full wipe and ten times flashing, restoring etc the whole shebang :)

Think I'll stick with this then for now unless you have any other must have mods :) since I'm in kamikaze mode anyway this week...

Thanks a lot for your help and patience again!:cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] ho3yn89:
I didn't see any other useful mod around I'm just following agni and v2l thread becuse they're so active and trying to keep our phone alive.

In the end This is what this frum made for. I got many many help through these few years i joined here. Now I'm just returning the favor. good luck buddy ?

new to rooting

hello sir, I'm new to the concept of rooting and read a lot about it.

As samsung galaxy note 2 gt-n7100 is the only device i have, I cannot risk to brick it.

Currently I'm having problem in understanding the concept of bootloader. (Plz elaborate including the knox bootloader)

Model no.- GT-N7100

Android version -4.4.2

Baseband version - N7100DDUFND1

Build no. - K0T49H.N7100XXUFNL1

AP - N7100XXUFNL1

CP - N7100DDUFND1

CSC - N7100DDFNI1

Bootloader version (as given under "OS" in the info app from play store) - N7100XXUFNL1

Plz help me with the process of rooting, unlocking bootloader and installing a custom recovery.

Thank you.:)
[Galaxy Note II General] Tyskacz:
Hi,

I am new here. I am sorry if my question is off-topic. I am looking for a method to root my GT-N7100 4.4.4. Omni. There are methods to do it only with 4.4.2 I miss S Pen functionality. I am thinking about installing DN 4 or something better, but almost everything requires root, I think. How do I root it? I will be grateful for your help.
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
No need to be rooted before flashing a custom rom like DN4 - custom recovery (TWRP) flashed through Odin is enough and then flash rom.zip through that TWRP
[Galaxy Note II General] MR2_Wei:
the recovery link isnt working
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
You are rooted so nandroid backup is the best and easiest option. Then you can restore apps and data from the backup using Nandroid manager app from playstore. This is what I do.

Don't know what happens if you reset a rooted phone. I did it on Galaxy Note and got a bootloop. Had to restore a nandroid backup then. Still I don't know if that happens everytime. Best option is to take a nandroid and try it ;)

[Galaxy Note II General] toocool7610:
But a nandroid backup is like a system image isn't it?

By restoration of nandroid backup I am again restoring the messed up system which is responsible for battery drain, right?

What I want to do is clean up the system and install the apps again +data of apps
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
From Nandroid manager you can selectively restore apps and data. Also you can select which app to restore and which not to.

hello

I have a question

I'm on the DN3 V4 RC2 MOD S5 I have not yet made the official 4.4.2 update

I like to know if it is better to put the official 4.4.2 update has to have a true base 4.4.2 and then flash the DN3 V4 RC2 + MOD S5 ?

thank in advance .
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:

Do not restart your phone.

After flashing directly go to philz recovery from the download mode itself. :)

otherwise you go to download mode ;)

here are my steps

i have odin 3.09

and philz recover image

and su user app in my phone

i boot my phone in stock recover by pressing down home power and now i click start on odin.......

odin says pass

now i am in odin mode only

now i press home start and vol down again

it still boots up in odin

one step tht i may be wrong is flashing philz

because i dint read a step where u said tht 1st boot into recover and then flash to odin

but when i do not boot into recoverey odin is stuck on setup connection,

PLease help bro
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
You are getting confused between odin mode and stock recovery.

When you press vol down it goes to odin mode. You have to flash recovery from there. After odin says pass. Now press vol up home power and it will go to philz recovery.

Next flash the update superSu zip given in the OP. Then reboot.

Sent from my Galaxy S5 GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] bharat.bkj:
Done done done done

thank you sooo much champ

the steps again

put the phone in odin mode (download) : vol down + power + home

flash philz from recovery when it says res pass

press volume up + Power + Home : the phone will go in philz recovery

now install the super user app from sd card

Works like a charm

main reason i rooted was to apply the sd fix to write to internal memory

it was a pain

god knows why kitkat bought this thingy!

As I am new to all this, please help me
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
press the volume up key,home key and power key together when the phone is turned off and let go of all the 3 buttons when you see the samsung note II logo ,give it few seconds and your custom recovery should boot up.If it doesn't and the phone goes into a bootloop either you didnt let go of the buttons on time or your recovery is not flashed right.You are newbie as i can see,you need to read a lot and lot and lot before messing around with your phone. So my suggestion is first gather all the knowledge that you need if you can't understand anything ask us here but don't try anything on the phone that you are not sure of.
