First of all: Forget about point 1, downgrading BL to MJ5 MUST fail.

Second: Flash latest TWRP or Philz tar using Odin 3.09.

Third: Flash your desired rom through this custom recovery
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude35:
Thanks for the answer but I just can't get custom recovery to work

3.

Flash via odin [AP]

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-t03g.img.tar (MD5 check OK, done with a separate program)

--> The phone boots and works but I'm unable to enter TWRP. Instead it shows

4.

Flash via odin [AP]

philz_touch_5.00.5-n7100.tar.md5

--> The phone boots and works but I'm unable to enter Philz Touch recovery. Instead it shows

| Android system recovery <3e> etc
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
The problem is custom recovery is getting over written by stock recovery as soon as your phone reboots after flashing the custom recovery.First download supersu v1.99 from Here and transfer it to your sd card.Now to avoid over writing of custom recovery by stock recovery flash the custom recovery as usual but instead UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT IN ODIN.Once odin says pass your phone will still be on and in download mode.Remove the battery put the battery back in after a minute or so.Manually enter into recovery mode (volume up +home + power) now you should be able to see the custom recovery now go to install zip choose sdcard1(external sd card) in philz for the first time it freezes and goes back to main menu don't worry just click on install zip again and navigate to sdcard1 find the superSu file you transferred , install it and then reboot your phone.Once your phone boots up supersu would ask you if you want to disable knox select yes (if it doesn't ask just open supersu app in drawer and it should)That's it your phone is rooted and deknoxed.Now go back to recovery back up your system as well as EFS.How to back up EFS look at this Guide.Now once you've backed up your current ROM and EFS all that is left is doing the correct wipes (full wipe) in philz or twrp. Also i suggest to use philz tar md5 file when flashing the recovery first time twrp at times doesn't work out right (once you have successfully flashed philz ,you can switch to twrp by flashing twrp zip file from philz recovery and back to philz from twrp by flashing philz.zip file ,it's just that easy).

But just before that use one the newest philz tar file like 6.41.6 philz 5 is too old and not sure if that would work right I remember using philz 5 to root my 4.1.2 firmware report back if flashing newest philz works if not I'll link you up soon with official stock rom and then re root

Stock KitKat/Unrooted/Just Plain Out of the Box N5

I tried going into Safe Mode out of curiosity, right after it boots I immediately get this error message "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped" with options to Report or OK.

When you press OK, it will just instantly show the error message again and when you press Report, you'll get "Unfortunately, Market Feedback Agent has stopped"

It's just an endless loop of this error messages, making the Safe Mode boot completely unusable.

What seems to be the problem?

I'm afraid, that when the time comes that I really need to boot into Safe Mode I'll get into all sort of problems :(

The original update OTA can be obtained here: WWE_4.07.1700.4-3.62.1700.1_KTU84L.H4_release_377648

This cannot be flashed unless your device meets all requirements. Wait for a ROM otherwise.

Trust me, the first thing I do is google.. been there, done that! Yeah sadly deleted and I'm still stuck at 4.4.2, so many must have made a CWM backup before updating to 4.4.3, yet so hard to get that file :/

Mine fails as well - on basicDreams.apk. It doesn't look like it can be applied to every device, e.g. when integrating apps into the ROM using Titanium Backup it will most likely fail. Will be taken care of by the ROM devs though.

Stick to your sense ROM then because performance hasn't changed much between 4.4.2 and 4.4.3

Don't think so, it's an OTA file that needs to be installed by the stock recovery, not a custom recovery.
[One (M7) Android Development] CB620:
About to RUU back to 4.4.2 with stock recovery.

What do I do afterwards. I have the file in the OP downloaded. Do I just place it in root storage and look for a update than root afterwards.
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
All I had to do was RUU to 4.4.0 because that's the one I had handy, let the phone OTA to 4.4.2, and when it booted all I had to do was hit the "check for update" button 2-3 times and then it prompted me to download the OTA and voila, 4.4.3
[One (M7) Android Development] CB620:
Alright I will do the RUU and just check for Update.
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
You would have to put the OTA at the right location and name it exactly what the recovery expects and I don't know how to do that.

Thing is with stock recovery, there are no options, it either updates or resets to factory default.
[One (M7) Android Development] ace-user:

i don't really see the advantage of mixing WWE firmware with GPE firmware..., and apart of that, it has nothing to do with the topic.

Interesting, I used the RUU process a second time, I used the 4.4.0 RUU because that's what I had handy, it OTAd to 4.4.2 and now it tells me there are no updates available.

I'm on my 2nd card now, different brands, different speeds, and my card gets corrupted almost once a month. I make weekly backups of the card, so I never really lose data, but it's a pain nonetheless.

The symptoms are same each time. When it happens, I can browse the SD card with no problems. However, it won't boot with the SD card in the slot. I must first remove it, boot up, then I can insert it. Activesync does not work with the card inserted, and the Messaging app won't even open, so I have to remove the card before I can sync w/ my Exchange Server.

I'm not sure why the Messaging app is so tightly integrated with the SD card and why the card would prevent the app from opening when the card is in the slot. The database exists in the internal storage; only the attachments are stored on the card.

Anyone else experience this craziness?

I have decided to stick with the new European unbrande .402 flashtool and have flashed a lot of little things from mobile without problem until it started flashing "System" here he stopped and threw the error: "Processing of system.sin finished with errors." .

I have searched xda and have not found that it may be that mistake, but I have a couple of questions,? Before connecting the mobile must check "USB debugging" and "unknown origins"?

Can also be the FTF I had got me some error?

I tested on a computer with Windows 8.1,and another with Windows Xp,with different usb cables and differents usb ports,always get the same error

The fact is that the cell would not start and I could retrieve it with Update Service.

Can anyone help?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
"USB debugging" must be checked but I'm not sure about "unknown origins". If you don't have USB debugging checked it will not start flashing, giving an error. At least that happened to me. I tuned on the phone, I checked "USB debugging" and gave it another try.

Just to be sure, download another firmware (from another source) and try connecting the phone again in flash mode to see if FlashTool sees it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacomicro:
Well.

I've tried with "Usb debugging" checked,also "unknown origins"..and get the same error.

next open flashtool as admin (right click)

next redownload the FTF, some odd reason Z2 FTFs corrupt very easily
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Try to check is there new flashtool.

Then, set flashtool and choose firmware, let the flashtool prepares firmware for flashing and connect device when system shows msg.

It's very common that device exit flashmode while flashtool prepares files...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacomicro:
if you look at the log I put in the second post,will see that all is well until it starts to flash the "system.sin",until then everything goes well.

I'll re-download the ftf and try again, maybe the file is corrupt when downloading because I have low download speed.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanziBaby:
Don't know if this is any help but when I was using FlashTool to flash firmwares it would pause for between 4-5 mins when flashing system.sin which made me think there was a issue, I just left it & after the above mentioned time it finished flashing with no issues.
