means can i flash linked rom safely ?

no need for update ?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
Flashing custom roms - especially those CM/AOSP - may cause problems, so nothing is really safe.

You needn't flash bootloader and modem in advance - they can be flashed at any time.
[Galaxy Note II General] manpreetsingh16nov:
Thank you so much.. :)

God bless uh.. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] FuTChY:
I'm on that patched mj5 bootloader. But i can't install OMNI MM android 6.0, i go into a bootloop on the device name without preceding to the rom logo.

Could that be a bootloader problem ??

Or could that mj5 be very old for that ??

Currently i'm on Stock 4.4.2 rooted and I never had any problems installing custom roms before.
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
Just to make things clear: If you are on stock 4.4.2 rooted you must have upgraded the bootloader too or you mean stock custom rom.

MJ5 bootloader should be ok for any rom out there so I assume some other error during installation process.
[Galaxy Note II General] FuTChY:
Sorry, I may have said it wrong.

I didn't upgrade my bootloader, instead I installed the batched MJ5.

That's why I was asking, should I install the latest stock rom and re-root it to upgrade the bootloader if that was the problem ?? but based on what you said, I don't have to as MJ5 should be ok even with the latest CM13 base.
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
in short words -> MJ5 bl isn't the culprit for not booting up any actual custom rom around
[Galaxy Note II General] FuTChY:
Ok, many many thanks.

Hi friend, I'm going to flash a rom (Eclipse V7) based on KitKat 4.4.4 .

Which bootloader I need to flash before the custom rom ?

On my note now I have 4.1.2 Custom rom (Wanamlite) with XXDME6 bootloader.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note II General] dman460:
The link to MJ5 seems to be a dude. Anyone know where I can get this bootloader now?

which is your current bootloader?

Hi, im in 4.3 with na1 bootloader, i want to flash mr.luongs custom 4.4.2 rom. Should i flash mj5 or nd3 bootloader?. If i flash nd3 theres any problem if i want to flash back to stock 4.3.? Thanks in advance.

Sent from Mallorca to your face
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
One should never attempt to downgrade their bootloader if you're lucky it would just fail in odin but if unlucky you could brick your device and go through a long process of getting it work again.You can only upgrade your bootloader and ND3 is the newest bootloader that being said yes flash mr luong's rom over your existing recovery and bootloader and then flash the bootloader.

sometimes when i restart to recovery either the phone hang at the samsung note 2 screen or shows that my software is corrupted or somthing like that and i should connect kies ... but just a simple long press on the power button solves' it ... my Q is it related to the bootloader or the recovery i have tried twrp 2.7.0 and now running 2.7.2 .. i don't use philz much but tried 6.*** can't remember the complete number but same problem

using mj5 lower ship bootloader and runing official 4.4.2 and i had the same proble on the 4.3 roms

can anybody help
[Galaxy Note II General] lapu:
Anyone can answer/confirm this question??

i returned note3 neo for N7105 due to knox and root matter.

it shall arrive tomorrow and i just hope that it comes with 4.1.2, finger cross.
[Galaxy Note II General] samgurung:
Awesome guide. Cleared a lot of my doubts but i still have a few and was hoping that someone might resolve them.

1. I had rooted my note 2 installed a custom recovery and custom rom and was on the mj5 bootloader when out of sheer stupidity flashed the nd3 bootloader. Now my knox flag is tripped to 0x1. Now as far as i have read it is not possible for me to reset the counter and go back to mj5. It will hard brick my phone if i do that. And also i cant downgrade my rom.

2. However can i still flash custom roms and recoveries. I dont really care about the warranty and i dont think I'll ever downgrade. But i would sure love to try out new roms and recoveries. Will that be possible?
[Galaxy Note II General] destrokk:
I am having the same problem! Does anyone know what this means? I love my ditto n3 rom but i need wifi working as my data plan is crap:crying:
[Galaxy Note II General] ralphrmartin:
Need to modify first page:

There are more than 2 kinds of bootloader. Chinese Note 2's come with a locked bootloader that cannot be flashed by ODIN. The only bootloader you can replace it with is a newer Chinese bootloader.
[Galaxy Note II General] srrmm27:
Yes you can still flash custom roms with a tripped knox
[Galaxy Note II General] dewingerd:
Thanks very much.
[Galaxy Note II General] deviluper:
Info.

Its already mentioned in the post title and in the post itself that this is for the "intt n7100" u should read the post more carefully and then advice. For your info model ver. for chinese one is n7102
[Galaxy Note II General] shan_pei:
Ask a question

Then can I flash custom rom without unlocking bootloader? I have got kitkat bootloader.
[Galaxy Note II General] srrmm27:
No, custom roms can not be installed with a locked bootloader afaik.
[Galaxy Note II General] ralphrmartin:
No, my Chinese Note 2 is quite definitely an N7100., not N7102.

As for International - that means nothing.

Please get your facts right before criticising others.
[Galaxy Note II General] Delta 32:
Is this the only problem about 4.4.2 with MJ5? That it won't stay off? The wording of the OP makes it seem as if the phone won't charge if it has ran completely dry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPT0nwNg4hk
[Galaxy Note II General] ralphrmartin:
Yes, misleading. When you plug the charger in, the phone boots if it is off. Other than that, I haven't noticed any problems. I cannot upgrade to a more recent bootloader as I have a Chinese N-7100.
[Galaxy Note II General] Xavras:
Hey, great thread. I think this should be added to post #1:

"One should never attempt to downgrade their bootloader if you're lucky it would just fail in odin but if unlucky you could brick your device and go through a long process of getting it work again.You can only upgrade your bootloader and ND3 is the newest atm (2014.06.24)."

[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
I have flashed it with Odin two days ago.
[Galaxy Note II General] kraigg:
Is there a download link for it? I'd like to to try a new bootloader to see if it fixes the boot loops I get on my N7100 whenever I flash custom kernels
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:

Hi. Hope someone can help. I've just changed my bootloader to nd3, hoes through fine but it sticks at the first Samsung screen. Have I bricked it?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
What was Odin telling you after flashing, succeed 1? Which was your BL before flash?

If your device doesn't start up I assume you failed, so retry in case.

Did you take BL from OP or other?

Problem with CWM flash

Hi guys. I have problem with flashing new CWM for my phone. I had stock bootloader mj9 or mk9(not sure) and I have stock Android 4.3 . Now I flashed ND3 bootloader and than I wanted to use philz_touch_6.48.4-n7100.tar.md5. When I attempt to flash that using Odin3.09 It took like 2 minutes to get pass!. Meanwhile it shows just RESTART! When it finally displays pass! my phone is already restarted in android and I dont have philz touch. So I tried it without auto reboot and then reboot it by long press power button but it also starts directly into android. So now I am stuck with stock CWM what was in phone. I checked all MD5s to be sure I have correct file. I am attempting to get Android 4.4 ND3 rom. I also tried to use TWRP but with same result.

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you.

That isnt correct, is it?

Just to be sure as well.. NJ2 is the most recent version for the n7100?.

I currently have the below for my device.

1. Knox warranty void - 0x0

2. Bootloader version - N7100XXUEMJ5

3. Baseband version - N7100XXUFND3

4. Build number - DN3 v5+ (G900FXXU1ANC9)

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
That's correct cause bootloaders aren't bigger.

You can have both from my thread: stock custom rom and bootloader, always the newest on top of it's post.

Yes, NJ2 is therfore latest official firmware.

back to stock from 4.4.4

I am on Dn4 and wanted to sell the note 2. So back to stock wanted. I am in FND3 bootloader and on 4.4.4 ROM. I have a few questions

I am downloading the file from sammobile, now taht Once i download, i can use the odin to flash the stock image.

So once the stock image is flashed, will it reset the recovery to stock as well ?

Also the device will be unrooted then ?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
Yes everything will be reverted, only flash counter won't. If you want it reset too, there's a guide somwhere around here using triangle away apk.

I have question: Whats the best solution to keep MJ5 bootloader and stock sam firmware. I want to sell phone but to keep bootloader (cause of warranty for the future user) and want to leave stock firmware. At this moment Im using 4.4.2 Diamond ROM V3.1 XXUFNI4?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] xda_dev2063:
I have exactly the same problem. Has the stock firmware solved your problem?????
