[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider5236:
So your slot 1 and 2 booted? I was able to create a slot and install a rom, but when I boot into it, it just hangs at black screen. I have to pull the battery to get back to recovery to select main slot. Would be really nice to get a fully working safestrap for KK.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Mine boot fine also, are you sure the slots are being created? Are you seeing an "unable to mount system" message when you flash the ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider5236:
I never noticed any errors? I tried it a couple times but no joy. I can try again and see if I get any errors. Will report results later. I do know that the dev has stated that 3.72 beta was not capable of installing multiple rom slots, but have heard others with success, so not sure if it is just by chance the few have gotten this to work or what.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Also, if it can't mount the system your ROM slots will not be created properly. You can tell if they didn't work by looking at the size of the system partition after creating the slot, if it didn't work it will say 0 (zero). As someone else suggested, if you increase the partition sizes (even by the smallest increment possible) they will get created and work. The only thing I've noticed is that rebooting does not work and requires a battery pull.

Hopefully this helps you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider5236:
Sounds good. I would not have thought of increasing the size to force it to take. Not sure what it read after creating as I did not notice. But I will check that as well. Thanks for the advice. Now I have something to play around with this afternoon.:good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Please post back and let us know how it went.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider5236:
Saweeeeet!!! Total success. I wiped the slot and re created it with uping each of the three partitions by one bump. That did not work as the partition size said 0 space available. So I wiped again and just bumped the first two up. That time it took and showed the partition at correct size. I installed Hyperdrive on it and it installed and booted just fine.:good:

Thanks again for the help. Totally stoked that I can test out other roms again without wiping the main slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Great, I'm glad it worked for you.

[MENTION=1509584]tnt4ever[/MENTION] my problem is this...

Guys I have been experimenting with a lots of custom roms, but flashing them only results in emergency calls only. My imei remains intact but mobile network does not work.

I have tried flashing Wanamlite v3.9, Phoenix 13, Omega 17-18, tried changing modems, ariza patch, restoring efs via terminal emulator and note 2 tool kit.

Right now I am on XXDLL7 and DDDMG1 (patched using Zuluman's modem patcher and it worked!!!)

I have successfully flashed 4.4.2 dn3 v5 with patched kernel, but due to some reasons I prefer 4.1.2, and would like to use any of the four aforementioned custom roms.

Please help. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steff195:
Hey guys, sorry for the delay...

Dunno if the link provided by ibraahim is efficient for anyone having a problem, if it does, it's fine by me, but when I had troubles months ago (because I ticked "Nand Erase All" option in Odin, thus corrupting my bootloader and messing up my phone) I tried all the solutions from this link and, as tnt4ever well remembered to specify in OP, only the 2nd firmware from that link worked. That file was the only one to contain all three required files to re-write the bootloader and related stuff (param.img, tz.img, sboot.bin), along with the .pit file, for re-partition. Ibraahim's file is the one from the 3rd file from that link, so I remember it didn't contain all those files. But, I repeat, according to your phone's problem, that firmware could be just fine to fix your problem. For me, it didn't.

So, as OP stated, the links are not available anymore, but I have the file on my pc and uploaded (again) to my Dropbox, if anyone needs it. The problem is that Dropbox doesn't allow excessive file download and thus the file may become unavilable for download (as it did before). So, the one(s) who get to grab the file, is more than welcome to mirror it.

N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar

Btw, tnt4ever: didn't you already have this file, since you downloaded and tried it, so you could upload it somewhere? :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt4ever:
Hello steff

Thanks for your detailed reply

As I said I am travelling at the moment

I do have the file saved in my pic you provided and I didn't get time to upload it

Any way I will do this in the first instance this week as I have to travel for work during the week and long week caused a lot of work delays

Actually I don't want to flash any 4.3 or above Rom. I do get everything working on 4.3 and above with patched kernel and modem. But I need to get 4.1.2 working without tripping imei or getting emergency calls only.

Can you please find a 4.1.1 rom for me. Please.

hello Ibrahim

i find it really funny but to be very honest once you flash stock 4.4.2( download and flash with doing 3.07) then your imei issue will be sorted

i used stock 4.4 for few days then i rooted the phone and went back on latest dn3 v5+ rom

anyway once you got your working phone then you can Do whatever you want ( rooting flashing any rom you wish)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibraahim:
But that would mean flashing a nd3 bootloader which is non degradable to 4.1.2. And What am I trying to do is, make 4.1.2 work on my phone. My imei remains intact but I am not able to receive signals.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahastat:
I've seen the 'Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue' screen multiple times after flashing DN3/other ROM. I just force closed and rebooted and it went away. The first solution to apply is, therefore, to just force reboot by pressing power button for a few seconds.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt4ever:
are you sure then its not a hardware fault..?

i just assumed but why dont you keep your phone working on a 4.4 or custom 4.4

see rom section you have more good choices..!

hi guys

you have to help a friend who is in France and has a problem, he updated the phone from 4.1.2 to 3.2 ditto but has not updated the bootloader to MJ5, and now no wifi no imei.

I tried to install the file N7100XXUFNE1_N7100OXAFNE1_XEF.zip not using the pit file attached, but always fails, I'm wrong in something? can you help me step by step?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt4ever:
Hello babek

Give the initial guide a thorough study once again

I are in the middle or if your friend then he is in the middle of the process

If still failed please update

:

update:

try this with PIT flash over odin 3.07( https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs9wigflyrwp8ip/N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar) download and extract you will find all files inside

make sure usb drivers are installed and phone is detected

if failed, restart the System, and try again, this might fail in the middle, which means pit is flashed, you can then flash the rescue firmware without pit, which may fail few times but keep it going, it will be a success at the end ( lucky enough if went through in first try)

after flashing this rescue firmware download 4.4.2 kitkat from first post and flash that to bring it back to life( iMEI and Network) ( 4.4.2 kitkat ) https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0

try changing the pc

try changing the Odin

try to flash PIt file it self first see if it went through

if no try to flash the firmware it self ( rescue firmware) if it didnt went through try both with odin 3.09

see if it works

Any way have you tried flashing 4.4.2 stock rom only with odin 3.07?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steff195:
[MENTION=262544]babak[/MENTION]: From what I see in the screenshots, the pc sees the phone, so the problem is not about the drivers, odin, or pc.

I see that you tried to flash the pit file alone, and then you tried the FN1 firmware. It's not good.

Try this: prepare to flash the 4.1.2 rescue firmware along with the .pit file, so you'll have to do this: put the .pit file in the pit checkbox, put the rom in the pda checkbox. You'll have to flash these together, not separately. Give it a try. It must work. ;)

Then, you can flash whatever rom you like. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babak:
Thank you my friend, but I've tried everything, I even tried to install rom 4.4.2 rom I tried rescue and pit and in each case the result is the same that's why I wrote that I give, if I could do something I have not tried yet, but I do not know what I would do.

Thanks for your suggestion but believe me I tried this, I put N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF. and Annex pit but always with the same result, odin remains stationary and does nothing I can also show you a screenshot.

No

Remove keis from your system but keep the drivers and try again

Which windows u using xp or 7...?

Oh and by the way why you are using team viewer for this solution..?

I believe doing it remotely can cause the error though I may be wrong... But a virtual machine is not reliable specially when flashing..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babak:
I think the problem is writing on partition by pit file ,now my friend has a new cable ,he is on windows 7 and you see teamweaver because i'm in italy and he is in France maby if i try some other rescue fireware with pit file inclused :(

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt4ever:
Babek

you or your friend whoever is doing this process to save your beloved Note 2 from dying, please note following things

* when i was trying to flash rescue firmware i was facing different issues, some times the pit was failed while writting( around 50 % , 30% some times it turned to be 90% and failed) so dont panic this is normal, i been through all this processes once and i know there was something for sure i was missing

ask your friend to do the following

* Remove Samsung Keis from the system, keep the drivers installed, use usb ports on the back instead of front,

1- Try PIT with partition checked and rescue firmware all together, if failed in the middle or watever the % age, try to flash rescue if the flash bar went even a 1 % further,

2- if above didnt work, try rescue firmware alone with odin ( auto reboot + f reset only) make sure the id: comm is green or yellow or whatever color but not red before you start the process( means the phone is attached and detected)

if this works fine, or this process didnt worked well, give it a try number of times,

* Most important, i am not sure if your friend is goood enough to understand or not but tell him to keep the phone battery on charge ( Desktop charger) for a while to ensure good battery percentage is present, he can call you over the skype from another pc or mobile to get the guide line

if all went ok, after flashing simply flash 4.4.2 through odin and your problem will be sorted

please let us know the latest..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babak:
My dear friend I have tried everything that you can try, but the trial never went ahead even of one percent, never, I think if the files are intact fireware, the problem should be computer or cable or the partition of the phone believe me I tried all combinations and nothing ever happened.

but tonight I'll try once again exactly as you suggested.

Of one thing I am very pleased, however, to have met great people like you :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt4ever:
Hello

if nothing worked at all, ask your friend to take it to a local mobile repair shop, they will fix it for a free of charge € 20

this is the only solution left for you, so far i can understand at some point the one who is doing this must be aware of at least the steps to follow , missing one step will eliminate the whole process so best is to get it done by local repair shop( a software box they normally use) or if under warranty then you can get it done by service provider, or simply an insurance claim if lucky enough to have insurance

Nice one mate, you saved my lil vein popping on my head from frustration, thankyou :good:

Although I couldn't get the 4.1 to flash, even after up-teen attempts (?)....So instead I flashed philz touch recovery which didn't work until I re flashed it with the auto-root box unticked.

Then deleted Dalvic cache and cache and installed a back up of 4,3....After completion and reboot-as already mentioned-no IMEI so done an EFS recovery from a back up and all was good in the world.

Tried to flash mj5 again and was back to square one- “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue” so instead of adding the 4.1 and pit at the same time I just flashed the pit file but using Odin3_v3.04 instead of 3.07 and it rebooted straight to the OS.

I done that a few times while attempting to flash mj5 bootloaders so my point is if anyone has the Firmware issue it might be worth trying to flash the pit file by itself using odin 3.04 first...to see if your lucky and it boots straight back to your system without having to install different roms.

tnt4ever much appreciated... was wondering, did you ever manage to install an mj5 bootloader or a bootloader for Kit Kat?...I dunno if it's something stupid I'm doing wrong because I cant do it...nearest I've got is this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588557 but that is for 4.3 and I want to install DN3 4.4 again but be able to charge with phone off.... any suggestions???

Note:- Downloaded the ND3 Bootloader ready to install after I'd installed the 4.4 you provided a link for and a Bootloader is already included with it...My Bad... Thanks alot tnt4ever.Respects!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chatoid:
irdhese mean

Hi, tnt4ever will probably know more but previously being on a malay 4,3 I assume you were on boot loader N7100XXUENA1?...Either way I'd suggest flashing Philz Touch using Odin and then using it to install a backup,,,,if you have one...but if not install the official N7100XXUENA1 Android 4.3 Firmware and start again (install CWM or Twerp, root, flash the rom you want).

You haven't got a 'Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue' so should be fairly easy from the point you are now, could even Flash the 4.4 provided by tnt4ever!

hi [MENTION=1509584]tnt4ever[/MENTION] !

I got my phone softbricked, kind of, because I got stuck in bootloop and my phone can't do a factory reset or install a ROM via custom recovery. It keeps on restarting halfway the process of system formatting.

I thought the problem was about my custom recovery (Philz) but after changing custom recovery (CWM, TWRP), the problem is still there.

So I was trying to download a factory firmware (the latest one) from sammobile to flash it via Odin. I was hoping it might work. Do you think this might solve the problem? Any response would be gladly appreciated. Thanks and good day!
