Like you, I never had a problem until trying this 4.4.2. update. Typically, you're doing the right steps. But, when everything you know isn't working, no matter how many countless hours you've been trying, sometimes it's just not gonna work without starting over from scratch from the beginning. I didn't want to do it either but it took a whole half an hour to go back to stock and get this rom up and running first try no problems.

Like you, I didn't want to go all the way back to square one, because I didn't think there was an issue with my phone or flashing process, and every other rom was flashing fine. Little did I know it wasn't the flashing process, but it WAS indeed the phone. Sometimes things get messed up somewhere along the line with all these updates. There's a thread at the top of the development section, and original development section that will get you where you need to be as far as getting back to 4.1.2, rerooting and unlocking the BL, updating your recovery and the mj9 perams, and then you should be good to flash this rom without issue. Good luck, and hopefully you don't continue spinning your wheels trying what you've been trying unsuccessfully. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
Lol....yeah I knew there was a thread to help with walking you through starting over. I really don't have the time to do it right now. I retried it by wiping everything but still got the same results. I'm sure it's probably just the phone though. I'm on nephilim right now checking it out. When I get more time to spend I'll probably start fresh. It's all good.

I've just started a new business (spa) and all my spare time is spent with it right now.

I came from SR 4, backed up using Krowley's modified CWM did a factory reset, wiped cache and Dalvik installed this with no issues. It booted up within 4 minutes and is working fine. I did have a few glitches though when playing audio over Bluetooth, but otherwise everything appears ok. Thanks for the update gentlemen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
IM on n3bula 3.9 now, has anyone had any issues flashing this using twrp v2.7.0? debating on flashing this or the l18 other 4.4.2 rom the ported with s5 features any opioions on the 2 would greatly be appreciated?

Install from 4.1.2 custom rom

Can I install this from Jedi X20 4.1.2 VRAMC3 to this rom without locking my bootloader? I was under the impression that updating the firmware any higher that VRAMC3 would lock the bootloader making any custom recovery and custom rom installation impossible. Is there a 4.3 firmware with the bootloader unlocked that I can flash with odin?

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Protocol114:
I wiped cache and system from 2.7.0.1, coming from SR 4. Didn't even wipe Data. Retained all my apps and the OS functions perfectly fine.

It's still probably a good idea to do a full wipe, but I don't want to have to download all my apps... again. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:
Im coming from beans build 22. Do a full wipe with latest philz recovery. Install kit kat. Reboot... and all I get is a red screen with the verizon logo pulsating for well over 20 mins (I just let it sit to see how long it will take) am I missing something?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
Something gets corrupted on the data side when flashing, and using titanium back up. Most likely if you are getting the red screen, you should follow the advice. It doesn't take too long, and you start from a completely clean slate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rufflez2010:
There are plenty off MJ9 ROMS out there, they require a MJ9 Firmware to be flashed via odin to get WiFi to work. This is a modified version that doesn't update the bootloader. I'm using the MJ9 Firmware with all of these ROMs without issue. Hopefully someone will be able to extract the Radio from the official build soon. Unfortunately anyone receiving this update via OTA will not have a rooted device and therefore can't have us DD the Radio. I don't know if maybe it can be extracted from the download if someone can catch the Download link whenever that happens to the masses.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dugall12:
Had to revert back.

I was able to get this installed with very little difficulty coming from SR 4 Remix. Had some Bluetooth issues while playing audio then later on in the day I was getting system process not responding and 5 reboots in a row. Then my backups didn't work, tried fresh install SR 4 Remix, had errors, finally installed and suck on boot animation. Had to Odin all the way back and unlock again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I flashed this from the latest beans build (build 26) through philz recovery. Wiped data, cache, dalvik before flashing and after installing this, it sat on the red Verizon screen for less than 5 minutes before booting up. I was getting frequent reboots until I flashed the agni kernel for the N7105 and now everything works perfectly. Boeffla sound is stellar through my car aux input, Wifi works, extsdcard works, haven't tested bluetooth or miracast yet. Everything is definitely snappier with the new kernel and no more random reboots. Gps locks fairly quick, but isn't 100% accurate.. There's a small bubble around me where I "might" be. Thanks for the rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
So initally the stock keyboard had the symbols in the visible background of each key. In my disabling of the rom I have remived that feature. Any guesses on what I turned off that caused this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bskarpa:
there is no way to install this with Odin is there? My N2 is stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and I cannot even get into recovery anymore. it's been a while since I've used this phone and when it booted up about a week ago, it installed the ota update and now it's broken :( I have been trying all kinds of files with Odin and it says passed, but will not boot up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
The Samsung s5 keyboard has a lot more options pretty much replicating the Google keyboard personalization feature. And you can assign shortcuts (words) to the number keys on the top row. Keyboard is sweet. Needs to be inverted though.

I flashed this ROM two days ago and it has been totally solid. As the OP mentioned, I did need to reflash the SU package, but aside from that this has worked as expected out of the box. :D

You need to odin back to the 4.3 ROM, root, install philz recovery, wipe, flash the 4.4 ROM.

Got the link for the external SD card fix? I looked in OP and didn't see it and wanted to make sure I was using the right one.

***Edit**** After doing a little searching I found this one: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537746

I'm hoping this is it - going to try it out and see what happens. Please correct me if I'm wrong and this isn't the correct external SD card fix.

***Edit #2***

Well it seems to be working for me.. there's the link for anyone who needs it.

Can anyone confirm that the 6/18 build corrects the charging issue while off? OP says "hopefully".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mistermagic87:
I powered phone off while plugged in and it shows charging symbol and loads right back up doesn't stay off.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redskinsfan:
I've had this trouble. The SDFix or flashable external_storage_fix approach did not work for me, but flashing the AGNi kernel did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
I believe that issue is fixed by using FolderMount from the app store. it replaces /system/bin/sdcard with something that works evidently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
I ran it and it said it detected a fault in my system mounts. It asked to fix the issue and prompted a reboot.

It worked!

Thank you for the lead. I didn't use it for its intended use (it said it wouldn't work with the broken mount), but it did fix the mount issue.

Xposed installed. Awesome!

New build up

I have add a debloated build to the OP. This build also has updated core applications and SuperSU 2.00 pre-installed. It is deodexed/deknoxed build with init.d and external sdcard fix included. Use philz recovery to install. Enjoy!

Thanks krowley! Trying it now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
no need to re flash the radio if we were already on the bloated version of nd7 ? correct...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
Correct. These builds do not include a modem in them, so you will remain on whichever radio you are on.

I don't see what you mean. I can take my battery out, hook it to the charger and it still powers on why would this keep a device from booting? I never shut my phone off, personally, other than testing things... this was not the only device with this issue btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:
I said something about this before in the beginning. A workaround for this is to put your phone into recovery & let it charge to 2% then power on with charger connected.

Sometimes the ota is not the same/ as good as official source, which they now have. I'm rolling my eyes that you think it's a big deal.

You realize you can buy a spare battery?

You realize no one shuts their smart phones off these days?

I've been running the 6/13 build and must say, everything seems to be working great. I want to flash the deodex 6/19 build, but I'm heading out of town in an hour and don't want to risk hanging up anywhere. I'll have to wait til Monday to flash it.

I don't see a bug list in the OP and search didn't return much for the 6/13 build, so I'll go ahead and ask.. Has anyone tried tap to pay yet? I've got wallet setup, but no immediate access to a machine to use it. Just curious. Also, is anyone else having any issues with GPS locks? Mine will narrow down to 30 feet, but I can't seem to get a lock. I've tried the two GPS apps, but didn't seem to improve any accuracy. I've been using maps to get around, but as soon as I try navigation, I'm pointing in the wrong direction and it doesn't pick up that I'm moving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] synapsesboob:
I'm having this same issue with GPS. Download GPS status and toolbox. Load the app so that AGPS data is downloaded. Then toggle off Location and Toggle on Airplane mode. Reboot your phone. Once fully booted, fire up GPS toolbox, toggle on Location and wait about 10 seconds, then toggle off airplane mode. You should notice sats being seen and eventually fixed. Accuracy is not guaranteed but you will have a lock and you can fire up Google Maps and get step by step navigation going. For myself, it only works during that use and had to be repeated with each use. Hope it works for you. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing GPS issues lol.

Edit: You can also edit your NTP a server manually or use TopNTP from the play store using settings as North America, United States, Generic, Google. That should help speed things up with synchronization.

Hey guys. I just recently updated to 4.4 with this ROM. Enjoying it so far. Today is the first full day of use. What's the deal with Google Services being the leading cause of battery consumption? I have never experienced that before. Battery life isn't horrible but it isn't great either (aged battery probably has a lot to do with it).

Thanks for all the work that is put into builds like this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I personally haven't experienced this.. Are you sure it is up to date?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kenobi112:
Well. The ROM has been downloaded installed for a little over 18 hours. I will check and see if there has been an update since. I will keep an eye and see if it changes. It might just be from the initial downloads and everything. I will give it time to bake in some.

I was using GPS status and toolbox with faster GPS which does the same thing with the ntp server, but it didn't seem to help.

Ironically enough, I just downloaded the escort live app to link my radar detector and when the map on my phone came up, the GPS icon in the status bar instantly locked.. Closed it down, opened Google maps and locked within 5 seconds. Probably coincidence, but it's working now :) thanks for the input.

We wouldn't, because he just made it up.. The Verizon official Ota does not have the problem, but this ROM does. He doesn't consider it an important bug, but it's a bug nonetheless. Drain your battery on your phone and expect to pull the battery, boot in recovery or have a spare to fix.

'don't know, don't care'. That's all he had to say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sir-Lancelot:
First.... I appreciate everyone working so hard on getting this released and stable.

But.....

No matter what I try I can't get past the Verizon splash screen on any 4.4 tw build released here or any combination of the instructions given.

Am I looking at Odin back to 4.1 and starting over or should I just sit tight and wait on updates to the rom? I am content to wait on krowley3's 4.3 rom, however if changes are in the works with this release I prefer not to do all that.

I guess what I am asking is will I eventually have to Odin back to stock to move forward? If so I might as well do it now and get it over with.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sir-Lancelot:
Yes Sir. Tried using Philz when it was suggested here. (I prefer twrp personally but makes no difference what i like if it doesn't work lol).

I was wishing out loud hoping someone would say just wait on new build but it does seem like that option is fading with each new release and that ugly ass red screen - haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
I also like twrp better. I know L18 is actively trying to get it to work. Been following the forum in which he has been sending Logcats to twrp developers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:
If it helps.... what I did was Odin to 4.1.2. along with the 16gb pit file. Then use casual for root & unlock bootloader. Then unlock developer mode for USB debugging. Flashed radio with odin. Reboot to recovery. Install kitkat. Select superuser & then you'll be prompt to disable knox. Reboot. Profit :) & so far no problems. This is my daily driver.
