After that format where thou have to type yes you must reboot into recovery. If you do not reboot into recovery it will not work right.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

After reading two pages of the same errors I have come to the conclusion I was right. This rom does something different with formatting. As with ditto note 3. Here is what I did to fix this, let me know if it fixes yours.

Twrp 2701, I assume you have backups btw, instead of wipe, pull external sd, select format. The one you have to type yes. Format 3 times. Then back out and do reboot to recovery. Now do the normal wipe I guess, "I did but probably not necissary", now install your rom, reboot let it load "bake" then reboot and install radio and su.If needed, then reboot.

Philz instead of wipe select advanced, format, select only the things listed in op for wipe, format, reboot into recovery, flash rom. Same steps here on. Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crowbarman:
Thanks; I tried your steps to the letter, but still am stuck at Verizon logo. I started with 4.1.2, and flashed MJ9 via Odin per the thread, and followed your steps several times. Typed "yes" 3 times, rebooted to recovery, advanced wipe and checked all the boxes, rebooted again, installed zip, reboot..and stuck.

Guess I'll try to go to 4.3 as well in the meantime.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
Hmmm... did you try Twrp or philz or both?

I'm old. I believe 3 times is pointless but I suffer from a condition which makes me do things three times....

Your md5 matched of course?

Anyway, I am suggesting not to do a wipe, instead format then reboot.

Why?

If my understanding is correct wipe is maybe like fast quick format crap. It sort of erases the directory, but not the real data.

Old school computer guys do a full format anytime they install an os. Formatting data.back to 0 literally erasing the old data all together, rather than just it's directory.

I may not.describe it right.

Format, yes, reboot, install.

Thus is a guy explaining similar thoughts to mine.

http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/

Anyway, I had these troubles when i came from 4.3 to 4.42 as well, so I thouht maybe I was on to something. Maybe not too. Good luck.

Also, there are other roms working fine if you don't want to go back to 4.3.

Anyway, happy fathers day, hope everyone had a great one!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crowbarman:
Appreciate the help. I have not tried Philz yet, but may give it a go. Yeah, I understand what you are saying about formatting..I have definitely got it fully wiped. I just loaded 4.3 without issue and also confirmed that the MJ9 firmware was loaded correctly. Going to try another run at it using your method..fingers crossed.

EDIT: No dice. Going to try a different ROM for now. Thx for your help, I'm sure we'll figure this out tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redskinsfan:
I'm getting FC with selecting google text-to-speech engine instead of the samsung text-to-speech engine (clean install with Philz). Everything else seems good.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Flashed last night and only one hangup I've found. Root works after flashing the supersu and then updating like before. WiFi works right off the bat. Only thing I'm seeing is a force close after using the voice search to dial a contact.

I am going to put another build together this morning guys.. I want to get these issues fixed..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnotamorningguy:
I'm stuck at the boot animation, just gives a quick, short vibration every 10 seconds or so. I've reflashed, flashed a different rom and tried restoring from nandroid and i'm keep getting the same problem. Maybe try flashing from Odin? Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:

Guys try installing with TWRP 2.7.0.1 and let me know.. Want to see something..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PuffJr2:
I came from 4.1.2, and i have no root whatsoever with a clean install.

SuperSU reports its there and running correctly, but nothing asks for permission. Root Checker says the phone is not rooted.

I've tried updating SuperSU to the current one, still no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:
Update. . Im now up and running & I still used philz recovery :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jusliloleme:
I'm using TWRP 2.7.0.1. I do a Factory Reset 3 times, then go into Advanced Wipe and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, and internal storage 3 times, then Format Data 3 times, then flash the ROM. Hang on the red Verizon boot screen every time. I've let it sit for 35 minutes with nothing. Just not sure what else to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
Same here. I tried the 199v4 and nothing, root checker says no root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Please try flashing THIS, v1.94.. It worked for me.. I am on a build right now.. Wifi works, data/app write works, everything seems fine. I got a Setup Wizard FC on install that is it.. Not sure why that happened. I will pull a log before I release and try to fix.

Also root did not stick, but it is v1.99..on boot.. I will try replacing it with v1.94 and see if that works..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
what happens if you flashed the modem first... do i have to be on mj9 for it to install correctly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Nothing, thats actually the way you should do it in my opnion. That's how the conversion was from 4.1.2 to 4.3. I did full wipe, flashed radio first, then flashed rom, then flashed supersu 1.99 in that order all in the same recover session. I am good to go. No errors, everything is smooth and snappy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnotamorningguy:
I can't get past the boot screen at all. I've tried to flash any other working ROM that I have on my SD card and I'm still getting stuck at the boot screen. I don't think my problem is with this ROM, I think somewhere along the way something else got messed up. Should I flash a stock 4.3 .tar from odin to start fresh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
i have been trying to flash for hours and keep gettin stuck at verizon screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PuffJr2:
This worked. strange how it had no root, and now does. ha. but thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:
If it helps.. im using philz recovery. Install mj9 with odin. Wipe then Install rom. Then installed radio. Then went to advance and install su for root (it thrn tells me to update su from market. Reboot. Setup phone. Update su from market. Reboot. Profit :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Umm no that will lock you..

You need to restore a backup..if that doesn't work re flash MC3 via Odin and then re unlock and root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
can not figure out what i am doing wrong. i flash the 4.4.2 and get stuck on the verizon bootlogo. flash back to 4.3 no problem... my phone just doesnt want kitkat or something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterx9:
I was able to flash it pretty smoothly. Only Thing I Did Was Wipe cache, dalvik, system, data, and Internal Storage About 5 times, then flashed the rom and the supersu file. It sat at the Verizon logo for about 8mins. Booted up and went through setup. Reboot to recovery and flashed the radio and agni kernel after wiping cache and dalvik and it's been smooth sailing so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
what were you on pior to flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
You are too good to us. The Neb team as a whole.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnotamorningguy:
Can anyone point me to the i605VRAMC3 .tar file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterx9:
I was running the Sr remix v4 rom on mj9. The guy I got the note 2 off of had first odin'd Beans 4.3 root image then installed sr remix. As far as the wipe I did before flashing this, I normally wipe that many times out of odd habit. Twrp version was the latest version I think 2.7.0.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
latest is 2.7.2. i tried to flash coming from meanbeans reborn. cant seem to get pass the verizon screen :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redskinsfan:
I've never been able to flash this rom with any version of twrp (> 2.7.0.1). It always gets stuck on the red verizon screen. It has, however, always worked with Philz. For those getting stuck on the red verizon screen, I would suggest trying with latest Philz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Flashed this morning with many issues. Turned out had bad transfer from computer to sd card (couldn't download direct to device as work wifi blocks those sites) Checked MD5 on the file downloaded to computer- Matched. They did not match on the sd card. I didn't check against that file. Strongly suggest checking md5 on the sd card file ahead of time. Both rom and radio were F'd.

Finally booting in now. I flashed radio first and then rom and it only took about a minute to get to setup screen.

Thanks for the awesome work you devs have done!

EDIT: Flashed the updated version, everything working as expected. I did flash under Philz, not TWRP this round
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigggJack:
I was able to flash and boot the ROM with 2.7.0.1 but FAILED to flash the new radio. Updated to 2.7.2 and the radio took, Going back to grab the 1.94 SU just posted to try and get root back, that is only thing I am missing right now.

ADDED***

version 1.94 link in post #418 of this thread ,gave me root after 1.93 & 1.99 didn't
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PuffJr2:
i have two minor issues now.

1: root browser shows absolutely nothing at all, its just empty when you open the app.

2: i can't access my phone through adb when plugged into my computer, it says "unauthorized"

anyone else have this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
I've had that happen with root browser. My ex sd would not mOunt either. It happened right after a reboot from Phillz, I rebooted and my mOunts started working again. Was weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jusliloleme:
Well, I'll be damned. This worked! I'm thinking not flashing the supersu (I flashed v1.94) was what was causing my previous problems. That was essentially the only thing I did differently this time around, other than only wiping 3 times instead of 5.

I also continued to use TWRP 2.7.0.1 as my recovery.

Thanks much my friend!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcbauerca:
install the superuser zip 1.99r4 and now everything works including Wanam for me. I don't have some of the other apps that others have mentioned so I don't know if those works.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I just uploaded/updated the OP with two new builds.. I posted my findings with them below..

No write data/app issues.

Wifi works

Root is if-y..If it does not work on reboot and hangs at "Disabling Knox" flash SuperUser v1.94

Then re open SU disbale knox

Profit..

We are continuously working on this today to get the best results..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Flashed the new deodex build and everything is running superb. WiFi works. Root and disabling Knox worked after a reboot just as was instructed. Thank you for this. Besides the bloat in the app drawer, Amazon, VZ Navigator, etc., are there any other system apps that need frozen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudy_Ruettiger:
Odex version works great so far. I did have to flash the super user to get root back and to disable knox.

Also foxfi works if anyone needs a hotspot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayjr13:
Didn't have unauthoried and I'm on sKKy_n3b variant from this thread but when I first connected after install I had no adb access and had to repoint my driver to the Google ADB driver to se the device via adb.

Don't know if that is your issue usually you can tell if you check your device manager if this is your issue. happy hunting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PuffJr2:
i can see the device using adb devices. but it comes up with an error trying to use shell. "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed Permission Denied (13) -"

other than that, working just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Have you guys granted the PC permission? If not you need to do so.. Also in Developer Settings turn on USB debugging..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayjr13:
May be that your root isn't working correctly if you can't "su" in shell. plenty of root issues around. And yea I assumed android debugging was enabled for you. as ninja'd above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
Other than force close with setup app during initial setup and having to flash supersu 1.94 to disable Knox 6/16 ODEX is working great so far. Better overall than CM11 and battery drain is significantly lower with Great Big War Game. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PuffJr2:
USB debugging is on, made sure of that. And it's probably root not working correctly. I actually had root disappear completely from my system on a reboot. ha.

But, i cant even shell, so i know its something with the device. I was able to shell on a GS5 and access su just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
followed this procedure and finally booted up and running thanks alot. wonder why it takes flashing supersu to bootup but im glad it did
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Patriot Virus:
Followed the directions using philz and deodex and the issues I had before are now gone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
I want to report success with my flash of the deodex version (ND7_deodex_rooted.zip), too. I had been running Beans 26 with the latest radio. Wiped 1x using Philz "wipe for new ROM install" function, installed ROM, completed the setup wizard, and then flashed SuperSU 1.99v4 in recovery.

Setting up xposed went fine. I reinstalled the modules with settings using TiBu, but installed Xposed installer using the apk.

Now if I could get the "am/pm" to disappear from the clock, everything will be perfect again :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xflbret:
Krowley (I think) responded to an earlier question of mine when I asked if this was going to be debloated. He said this is just stock stock and wouldn't be debloated.

Just so I have my eyes wide open, can someone tell me what exactly the bloat is in this particular rom? With the deodexed version, can I just remove the bloat myself? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Any thoughts.. if im running S5 feat v 1.8 R3D rom with no issues at all.. ( 4.4.2.PORT.v1.8-S5FEAT-R3Ds.zip) .. everything working even gps... would anyone switch to this official build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Be careful. I managed to make my Ti inoperable somehow during the process of debloating. Ti lost root access, and I can't seem to get it back. I've reinstalled it a few times. No dice. No big deal.

I've been running this ROM since it got uploaded. It's burning through about 3% an hour with moderate usage, and hasn't exhibited any flaws worth mentioning.

If you can get it to boot, this is your new daily driver, kids.

Yeah disable nox only took about 8 seconds you need to reinstall su from recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
Good news!

Well guys, I think we finally got it all worked out. May have been something wrong with our initial OTA download, so we redownloaded it and started from scratch. We have worked out the kinks from what I can tell. I am going to test overnight, but here is what we have:

Deodexed
No more knox
Root sticks on boot
init.d enabled
busybox
insecure boot.img

We are going to test this first, but I would like to think you will see this build sometime tomorrow!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
I had the 1.99 version of superusersu installed and it wouldn't disable knox. I flashed the one from the OP, version 1.94 and it disabled it. Thanks!

You can download Quickboot from the Play Store. The 4 way advanced worked for me. Maybe a bad dl.

Well it did work on the first rom lol. Anyway I just installed the 4 way advanced boot and now no menu at all. I did however copy android.policy.jar from system/framework in the ND7 zip and over wrote the android.policy.jar on the phone in system/framework. I used root explorer. After it pasted the phone automatically rebooted upgrading apps. When it fully booted stock reboot menu was back. Hope this helps

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
They both have their advantages. Odex is supposed to be faster, but deodex makes things editable. Try the deodex version, back it up, and google ways to odex, there are many ways to do it, that way you can get the idea of what you like. P.S. all apps you download from the playstore are deodexed, and most roms are deodexed.
