[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
Any update on getting stuck at the Verizon screen. Let it sit for 45min. No dice.

I have this on my phone and it runs great. Tried upgrading my father's phone and keep getting stuck.

ODIN to VRAMC3

CASUAL exploit

ODIN MJ9 Firmware

Booted to TWRP

Flashed Philz

Wiped ROM for clean install

Tried both zips in OP - no go stuck at Verizon Logo (oddly enough there is no Verizon boot audio)

Flashed MJ9 with no issues using Philz.

Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Try casual first maybe?

Worked like a charm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
What's the deal with the s-5 apps? Are they better than the kit Kat ones for the note 2? Is S-Voice different? I liked the old S-Voice better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
If I run CASUAL first won't flashing VRAMC3 relock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Good point...

I took the vramc ota, if your on a older version I would just run casual and skip to mj9.

I hardly doubt you need to sequentially flash stuff, when you wipe and flash your starting over.

I would say

Casual

Odin mj9 firmware

Flash mj9 rom

Check it out

If all good

Flash philz 6.00.8 (older but known to work with this rom)

Wipe

Flash this rom

Flash the radio

Etc.

Profit.

They look better or just not monochrome ugly.

There are improvements for some apps to make changes to actions and looks, I like the s5 s voice enough to keep it, but the old one did look a little more industrial. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] y8s:
Pardon me for I am blind. Where in the world are the MD5 hash strings for the downloads in the OP??

I searched the thread for "MD5" and found plenty of people claiming they checked and passed but .... against what?

halp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
I'm not sure if this has been asked since I haven't see it, but as far as tethering on this rom, is there a way to get the Verizon tether app to work? I had it working on the leak you all had a few weeks back, but just not this one yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KGBxxx:
Search this thread for multiple ways to get it. X tether module works well using xposed.

Thank the devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
Thanks for letting me know....I would love to just use the native app from Verizon if possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Daciple:
Not sure for that. wireless & usb tether works fine here. Using deodexed version with bloat!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
Hmm....interesting.....on mine which is the Deodex Debloated version, it tells me when I bring up mobile hotspot that that service requires a subscription to mobile hotspot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
Its on the download page at androidfilehost when you click the link.

Sent from my Galaxy Note II
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellyhead:
It has been discussed before, if you have an unlimited data plan then you need a fix to use the native tether app without a subscription. If you DO NOT have the unlimited data plan the native tether works without any MODs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] y8s:
I can see! It's a miracle!

Thanks for the help. I didn't even think to look there because I am also not very smart.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
Thanks for the tip!

Did you add the word "wifihotspot;"

I'm not having any luck with the word "wifihotspot;" "MobileHotspot;"

no extra toggles are shoing up. "mobileData" works tho. but we already have one of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Just wanted to give all of u a quick review on the odexed version of the ROM. This is working perfectly stable for me. I used super su to disable Knox and used folder mount app to resolve the issue with external SD card write. Great battery life. ..I can easily go 1.5 to 2 days on the stock battery with moderate use. TouchWiz running very smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
I still have unlimited data. I've been searching for a fix since the leaked rom wifi tether worked perfectly fine. When I switched to the latest ND7 listed in the OP, that's when it stopped working. Do you know of any fix out there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
Install xposed framework and then install the xtether module. It will unlock native tethering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
Thanks, but I was trying to use the native app like they did in the leaked version of the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
This disables 3rd part app checking in the system framework which allows you to use the native tether app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
Ahh, ok cool.....thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danam:
I'm currently using the debloat version and did it again. First, I enabled the hotspot with x tether (because I have unlimited data). Then I followed the directions from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2342370. WiFiHotspot; is case sensitive and you have to add the semi colon and be sure to enter it in notification_panel_active_app_list . There are a number of files with similar names.

has anyone been able to root the Verizon galaxy sch-i605 after the OTA i605VRUFNDU7 ? if so where might I find the answer??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Hi everyone, I'm running an aosp rom on my note2, and having the old gps problems of not being able to get a lock, so I'm wanting to do the trick where you flash a TW based rom, get a lock and restore the aosp backup, making the gps work.

However, there seems to be quite a lot to the flashing of this rom! For instance, the post a couple up from RevMike is super complex. Since rooting my phone a LONG time ago, I've never had to use odin once, I've just flashed used twrp or philz whatever roms I'm into.

So my question is: can I just flash this rom like I would any other aosp based rom, just to get the gps lock, and then get rid of it, back to my slim or pa rom? Or would another TW based rom be better for this?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RevMike:
I know it is. I was trying to document my whole experience because it may be useful to someone, more useful than a simple - "If you are having a problem, do this..." The process of going back to stock 4.1.2 and then bringing it back to current can be a pain in the ass, so people are going to be reluctant to do so. I figured documenting the nightmare I went through trying to avoid that might help someone else choose the easier route first.

I was trying to helpful by documenting the problems I had and how I solved them. The details can be valuable, even though I am reiterating something that was in the original post. I don't know you. Maybe you are a great guy having a bad day. Maybe I am reading too much into it. But your post makes it seem like you are being a jerk to me for trying to be helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] theleland:
I have verizon hotspot but when I try to turn it on, it says I'm not provisioned, but I am ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
So did my suggestion work or do you need more help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
That is kind of you to follow up. My apologies for not writing back.

I won't see my father until this weekend. I will try your suggestion then. Thank you for taking time to help me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Oh ok, It's how XDA should be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
You got me all wrong. I try to help people when they are having problems. I read your novel in hopes of helping you out.. but when I got to end of your story you accomplished the opposite of helping people out.

1) You simply described exactly what will happen if you don't follow the OP instructions.

2) potentially frightened others that are planning on making the same move you did to this rom.

It more sounds like you happy to share how you troubleshot and successfully loaded a rom. To which im glad your part of this thread. You were probably a bit upset that my less than enthusiastic comment toward your post (which you put so much time into) was not much of a reward.

Was I being a jerk? NO.. I was upset that after all that reading the solution had already been logcat'd and adressed already which is why OP put it in the instructions.

Carry on..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RevMike:
Sorry I got you wrong, then.

Honestly, part of the reason that I went through the effort of writing this up is that I've never had to resort to returning a device to stock before. I've put custom firmware on about 10 different devices over the years, starting with the original Moto Droid, and have never had to resort to this. It is advice that I've seen for so long but never used, so I basically thought it was almost boiler plate, like the advice to wipe 3 times that was repeated for years. I figured there were likely others in my situation, and so the details in all there glory would be helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pkopalek:
This ROM is very clean, and well done. Thank you, sir.

Anyone else not able to look at all the toggles when they pull the notification bar down, then click the toggles? I push it and it just makes the bubbly-Samsung noise (as if it's done something productive), but it doesn't go anywhere or do anything.

0 issues outside that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flyinduke:
After doing a complete wipe and flash, if Wifi is not working, does this still apply, "Also those people not able to turn wifi on, have you flashed and updated to MJ9 firmware? If NOT.. you need to, to have working wifi.."?

Does this need to be done prior to flashing the new radio? I was on MJ9 before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
If you were on mj9 before it should work fine, try wiping again, go through setup and flash the new radio or flash the radio again first and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flyinduke:
Thank you. Another detail that is odd, the wifi won't work with stock kernel, but works with agni.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ed9974:
So, I am also having issues with WiFi toggling off, and not toggling back on. But it worked fine for about a week, after flashing. I followed all of the instructions in the OP, and all worked great. Now, all of a sudden, I cannot toggle Wifi on nor Bluetooth...they toggle themselves back off...very annoying since I love this ROM and it was working great. I'd LOVE to figure this one out, but I'm at a loss...

UPDATE: So I wiped the cache and flashed the SU Update in the OP (using Philz). And both WiFi and Bluetooth are working! I'm not a developer so I have no idea what this means, but I'm happy as hell to have everything working without having to wipe and reinstall. I hope this helps anyone else having similar problems with wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
Did you load a different kernel?

You can fix this by flashing the OP ROM over what you have now without wiping. It will restore the wireless modules along with any system apps you may have deleted. Make a backup first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ed9974:
Nope...running the OP ROM Kernel. And I did not remove any system apps. Actually, no modifications at all to the ROM. Would it make a difference Re-Flashing the ROM vs Re-Flashing the SU Update Zip? The Update seems to have fixed the problem...just asking.

Great ROM, though, guys. Loving it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEK112:
SU wouldn't block wifi. Reflashing the ROM without wiping should fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ed9974:
That's exactly what I was thinking! It was a shot in the dark, but it fixed the problem. Clearing the cache alone didn't work. So I tried clearing the cache AND running the SU Update and that worked. no idea why, but it did.

I believe this is a known problem. Which ROM did you flash - the original odex/deodex or the most recent update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vanilla gorilla:
The most recent? De-bloated, with SD card fix. Is there a fix? I have wiped and wiped, but no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] y8s:
I just did a quick install of the debloat version and it went pretty smoothly.

I was coming from TWRP/Sophisticated 4.3 remix v4 and had to install Philz. Meanwhile I monkeyed with some other stuff.

But I got back to SR Remix V4 and Philz and (after a nandroid) did a "clean to install rom"

Then installed the debloat rom

ran through setup

rebooted into recovery (I am missing the reboot into recovery power menu option on this rom btw)

installed the superuser update and the nd7 radio

everything seems to be doing fine and I'm currently in the process of restoring my last titanium backup of all apps and settings.

props to op.

There is a flashable zip in the second post for mods and also a apm.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flyinduke:
So I tried a reflash, followed OP instructions, still having an issue with wifi. Rather than just say I am having an issue, here is what logcat is saying

I reflashed again without wiping and still same issue.

When I use the other kernel it works fine, but I don't want to use the other kernel, I want to get this working. When flashing I did a complete wipe, didn't keep anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT - Also just tried Davlik wipe, and reflash, still no go.

Hi guys, where can I download the latest copy of SuperUser.zip? Sorry, tried to follow everything to the T for updating to 4.4.2 and I am almost done. I just missed the SuperUser.zip. Can someone help me? :D

After installing the 4.4.2 using philz, the setup wizard keeps crashing. Does anyone have any issue with the setup wizard?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
Which radio you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flyinduke:
ND7. I caved and switched back to agni, WiFi immediately worked

In the first post, big red font with a link near the end.

Try a older version of philz, I posted the one that worked for me several pages back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pekkle168:
Thanks fallen00sniper!

Are you referring to the philz 6.00.8 you uploaded?

EDIT:

Tried the Philz 6.0.0.8 and it still crashes at the very end of the setup wizard. Did you ever find the patch for the TWRP? I want to see if that makes any difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Colchiro:
The latest TWRP is supposed to fix the issue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2045829

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

I had radio problems what went away when I restored my CM11 nandroid, but no amount of flashing/wiping with Philz would make it work with ND7.

I flashed back to stock (vramc3), rooted it, installed Philz, then flashed everything and then wifi worked. Not a fan of Philz, so when latest TWRP came out I flashed that and made a backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pekkle168:
Thanks for the TWRP link!

I have another question, was playing with the deodex/deknox rom and the deodex/debloat roms. With the deodex/debloat everything is great, except that I need verizon's voicemail app. Where would I be able to download just the voicemail app? Since I need the voicemail app, I decided to go with deodex/deknox rom, and that rom gives me vzwavsservice stopped responding message. Does anyone know what service is that from verizon?

Has anyone ever encountered "unable to load photo" on Samsung gallery? I got this, and none of my pictures can load. Quickpic works fine. I also tried clearing cache, reflash rom, and used folder mount with no luck..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flyinduke:
I just did this and now I'm stuck at the red verizon logo screen. I tried the process again, and still get stuck at red verizon screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Colchiro:
I flashed with Philz, then flashed TWRP after and used it to make a backup, hoping that it would work from that point forward.

I know TWRP 2.71 is supposed to fix a file system corruption problem, but I can't personally say it works for installing the rom.

Try factory reset, then flash just the rom again if that doesn't work.

If that doesn't work, try Philz, wipe for a new rom, then flash the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flyinduke:
I went through the tread, and found this post (cut down to the important section). I had to follow this, but it finally worked.

My wifi didn't work until I went that route.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I'm not sure if anyone else posted this but here I go...

The OP needs to be updated to indicate that TWRP v2.7.2.1 is viable for flashing this ROM. I did it today coming from stock 4.3 and I did a complete wipe of cache, dalvik, system and data. I left internal and external storage alone. Installed the 1GB zip for this ROM (the latest one debloat and external sd fix) and it worked perfectly fine the first time. No errors and the system is operating perfectly. In fact, this is the best "ROM" I've ever had on this phone and I can't recommend any other to any Note 2 user at this point. It just works.

So if you're a fan of TWRP like I am and can't stand those ****ty alternatives, definitely go ahead and update to the latest build for TWRP because it's problem free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
Great...I attempted to install TWRP from the TWRP Manager app like I've done in the past and now I have the damned stock Android Recovery and I can't install anything because it tries to verify every zip file. WTF!?!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ezas:
While nothing bad has happened, no attempt to install TWRP using the manager has worked. So I've using the flashable package. Haven't tried to flash anything yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I just set this up. It's running sweet. Thanks.

I'll stick with CWM since the last time I used TWRP it messed me up bad. I used CWM for a long time before I ever used TWRP. It's just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I had to manually download the .img file for twrp 2.7.2.1 and install with flashify.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Bahhh the ROM itself works flawlessly with TWRP 2721, however ROOT on the other hand, nothing but issues. I flashed Philz and wiped system to see if I can reinstall the ROM and get root to work, but yeah. If you use rooted apps then it seems TWRP isn't quite 100% there yet, it's like 95% of the way.

I swear this is some wonky ****. The ROM flashed perfectly and everything about it functions just fine, save for root. And nothing I do will get it to work. Fingers crossed that this system format and reinstall through Philz fixes this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Flash Superuser in recovery and you will have root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I did, several times. It just would not take. It was there, but it never functioned properly. Actually every time I flashed the superuser zip in OP using TWRP, I'd boot up and find it completely missing. Download it from the market, and it would ask me to update the su binary. Doing it normal (always worked on rooted devices in the past) would fail. Attempting to reboot into recovery to update the binary would "work" but root functions would still be broken upon reboot.

I flashed the whole ROM again in Philz and root did the same glitchy thing again to me, but after opening it and updating the su binary it is now working all the way.

Why is root so flakey on this ROM? And why does it seem to install fine with Philz/CWM and not the patched TWRP? I hate it when stuff inexplicably works :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I hear you..

It's not just this rom, it's verizon 4.4.2 in general and recoveries.

Recoveries have been glitchy ever since 4.3 and now with Knox 2.0 in full effect it seems like it effects different things even though it "removed" (still embedded in the frameworks)

Samething with the mounting issues. Why all the sudden, randomly will we have SD card write issues..I'm talking internal not external. Out of the blue after flashing you can not write to the interAL sdcard.

I don't know the answer to these..I know 4.4.2 is a lot smoother but takes some work arounds to get everything up to par. 4.3 is FAR more stable but yea..:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

Kind of worrying to be honest. Imagine if Google really locks future versions of android down with this Knox and other security changes? Damn I don't want to think about it lol.

Also not sure why but the whole SE for Android thing is missing from my About Phone page in settings. Should it be? I tried searching the thread for that and found absolutely nothing.
