Is anyone else getting an MD5 error in recovery? I'm running Philz and when I select the file to flash it warns me of, I believe, an MD5 match error and asks me if I want to proceed. It's done this both times I've downloaded 1.1. Since I'm dumb, I went ahead and flashed both times, but have run into problems. First time it was a screen freeze, but JL's advice of switching to the stock kernel fixed that. Second time I seem to not have root access.

Downloading a third time right now to see if it happens again.

JL, none of this is meant as a complaint to you or your work. Just trying to isolate a problem and figure out how much of it is my fault and how much of it might be something you would be interested in knowing about.

EDIT: I see that this was addressed while I was typing it up. Trying some stuff with it now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sloanmeister:
ErichArndt are you using Philz 6.07.9 recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpisini:
I had to reinstall supersu from Philz after installing stock kernel. Working fine after that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
I'm actually not sure off the top of my head which version it is. Since I'm downloading right now I can't really check unless there's a way to check from a running device.

I downloaded it months ago and I guess I lost the original file I flashed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sloanmeister:
I'm thinking its very important to use that recovery its listed in the OP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Go int settings about phone/device and check there. Almost every rom I make has a specific name there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
I was actually referring to which version of Philz I'm running. I meant to quote the person who asked me but forgot to check the box. I'm sorry for the confusion.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

I was not on the right Philz. It looks like I was actually on a newer one? Anyway, I switched to the right one and my third download did not have the MD5 error. Loading now, and trying it with the new kernel to start.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well keep me updated. I will be online for a few more hours and checking back in to see how it goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
Early impressions:

There's a lot of great stuff in there. Whatever I was doing wrong before had some major effects. For example, previous installs of the same rom (different downloads of the same file, flashed with a different version of Philz) did not offer the additional options (background data and grayscale mode) in Power Saving Mode. Furthermore, I have root access now as well. I feel like such an idiot about that Philz mixup. Sorry again.

That being said, I'm getting some random Samsung Keyboard FC's, even when I'm not on a screen that requires the keyboard to appear. And the phone soft boots to the Android animation when I try to access the launcher settings though long pressing the home screen and hitting the settings button on the resulting menu.

Keep in mind, this is all still with the newer kernel, since discovering the Philz issue I thought it best to try it the way you built it first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
Just got in and flashed 1.1 (clean install) and powered down and connected charger and the phone stays off until I reboot.Had to go to stock kernel but camera works now. Weird huh, works for some but not others. MMS working after mod flashed. WiFi is good and so is LTE. Gonna let it simmer overnight and see what's up in the morning. App's responding well so far as I can tell. Using thanhfhuongf Xperia_V1.0 theme, like the icon set. Thanks JL for all the hard work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well if it still gives issues use the stockish kernel. Hope it all works out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] D_Smuv_:
Where can I get that Super US zip from?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpisini:
I don't remember where I got it but do a Google search for UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94 that should get you one that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
OK, so I received my first call this morning on this ROM and the phone rang but the screen never woke up. After the 2nd ring, I pressed the power button to wake it up. The call screen was there when it woke but having to wake it was a surprise.

I'll monitor it with subsequent calls but wondering if others have seen this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sloanmeister:
No, Called cell with house line and screen immediately lite up to answer call, working good here.:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
Anyone tried the 9/1 hotspot mod on this ROM? I'd try it but I'm at work and don't want to screw my phone up while at work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
Okay, so I had some weird experiences last night.

I switched to the stock kernel and for a long time I was thinking it was 100% perfect. Then I realized I had lost root. So first I tried dirty-flashing the rom and kernel back over themselves. This resulted in a bunch of force-closes, so I went back and did it the right way. Wiped everything and clean-flashed the rom and kernel. Almost immediately I noticed that I still didn't have root access, so I did it all over again... clean-flash the rom, but left the kernel alone, just to test if the difference in the kernel was what was causing me to lose root. It turns out it was. Then, I started goofing around with the rom and the newer kernel and noticed I wasn't having any of the problems I'd had before. None of the keyboard FC's and I could get into and edit the launcher settings just fine. So I chalked it all up to a fluke. Sometimes all you need to do to fix a problem is trying flashing it again. Everything seemed great. I was clicking my heels.

Then I got a screen freeze. Ugh. Pulled the battery and booted back up... and all kinds of settings had reverted back to a previous state (for example, my launcher had reverted back its default home screen layout) and several apps had uninstalled. Upon trying to reinstall those apps, it wouldn't let me. Play Store told me an unknown error 24 occurred. Other apps installed, uninstalled and reinstalled just fine, but the handful of apps that went bonkers on me won't come back, even now.

Now... at some point I had browsed through the Devilkernel settings. I didn't change anything because most of it is totally over my head, but I did notice one setting involving something called FSync, and after my crash I was immediately reminded of the warning under the setting; "May result in data loss after a crash". So far that's the only time I've ever seen anything like that in Android, so I went back in and, though I still could make heads nor tails of the setting's description, I switched if off and I didn't have any more crashes after that.

So... right now my plan is to back up a couple of posts in this thread, and find out how to get the flashable zip version of SuperSU, reinstall the rom and stockish kernel, and then SuperSU.

Oh yeah, and throughout all of my adventures, my camera worked fine, as did wifi and 4g and GPS, but the power-off charge bug was present through every phase. I even tried running the fix and it didn't help. Also, parts of the battery saver mode seem to turn off when my screen goes to sleep. Other than those two things, I think the stock kernel with the SuperSU fix should have this running perfectly (for me).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] keithkevorkian:
So I flashed this rom through philz with a clean install. Initially had root with the devil kernel. I had some freezes and force closes so I decided to flash the stockish kernel from this thread. I flashed and lost root even though I had supersu app. So what worked for me (may not work for you).... you can't uninstall the supersu app it only let's you disable it so I rebooted in to recovery selected re root device which said it was successful and rebooted. Still had no root but the app was gone. So I downloaded and flashed supersu 2.01 and my root is back. May not work for others but it was an easy fix for me. Other then that with the stock kernel I haven't had any issues. Thanks for the great rom

Everything else seems to work great.

Also I have the ne2 bootstrap

Great rom, Big fan of your work!

Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
I did eventually get it rooted, but neither of the above methods worked for me. Eventually Kingo Root, a universal root app for PC, is what did the trick.

I am uploading another version of beta 1.1 that has the stock kernel included so it should help with those issues some users are having with the devil kernel.

If you can't get the SU binary to work here is the link to the SuperSU flashable zip that will get you back on track.

now the prl and update stuff was removed (the sprint updates cause issues with custom roms) there is still the zone apk and it should do your prl/profile

On thing i notice 1.1 sometimes i have to press the home key several times to wake phone up, plus if any one is testing the stock kernal let me know if it has less lag than devils thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] carlitosbase:
Yes is working perfect for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
JLMancuso, I have been working on that first 1.1 tester that had SBrowser and MMS sending issues. So I got the SBrowser fixed (was still missing a lib) I was determined to find out what was causing this on my own. I also got S5 mms sending/recieving working for Sprint. I will be running this ROM and dogging it and see if any other issues pop up other than the existing issues. I'm sooooo happy you got the phone dialer issue fixed! This ROM version is working great. I haven't downloaded the version you currently have uploaded here so I'm not sure what all is different from the one I'm running now. I'll just stick with this ROM since it's all working for me. My plan is to get this ROM perfected to my liking then odex it and forget about it until I upgrade. If I get to that point I will share. Thanks for all that you do for everybody!

Edit : I tried the charging fix in the OP but it did nothing. I looked inside the zip file and it has the same files that are already in the romantic. I'm not sure what to think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] matttrout22:
plz could u tell me how to fix the mms sending issue, or send me the files needed

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
That last install (1.1, stock kernel, MMS fix, power off charge fix, rooted with Kingo) has been working like a charm for me. The only problem I'm still seeing is the power-off charging bug and the upgrading screen at first boot and S-pen clipping.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

If there are any specific things anyone would like me to check, I'd be glad to help out. I'm on Sprint, by the way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
rom with stockish kernel is now in op
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I'd rather just submit the complete ROM. With all these fixes and patches for this and that it's getting a bit out of hand. I think there needs to be some more time spent fixing these few things THEO release it.

I'm more than willing to help with thiis ROM any way I can but I need a little help myself getting some assistance on where the charging problem lies. Im having to learn and figure things out the hard way which is how i usually learn things. Lol. Like I said, the flashable charging fix zip in OP did nothing for me. Phone still refuses to charge while powered off. JLMancuso, if you or anybody else knows where I can start looking to solve this, PLEASE let me know and I will get cracking on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Charging issue lies in the kernel. With devil kernel all is fine on charging. With stockish kernel it has the issue. I guess I need to play with the ram disk and see what is going on. Also the fix that is posted here is included in this rom so flashing it makes no difference. Now in 3.2 and earlier the fix needs to be used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
[MENTION=4011301]jlmancuso[/MENTION]. OK. So that's gonna be out of my league. I don't know kernels. I hope you can get the charging issue fixed because that's about all there is to do for the most part. Swap out the mms apk from S5 Feature 2.3 ROM and that will fix the mms sending issue and it works 100%. I have been using it with no issue the past couple days. For the existing SBrowser you only need to add one more lib to the libs folder and it will work without issue. I will send it to you vi hangouts or your email. This will complete mms and SBrowser issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterpero:
charging while phone is off didnt work for me on devils kernal it still turned on when plugged in
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well browser works on the1.1 posted so no worries about the lib (it is already done). As far as mms goes it also works for me too. I will post something for everyone tomorrow though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
The S5 Feature beta 2.3 had little to no reports of mms issues from any users so that's the one I used. You being on Cricket wireless there is obviously different settings for mms so I assume Sprint users would all have the same results, either work or not. Does anybody know where I can find a stock NE2 kernel in flashable format? I want to see if that will fix the charging issue on my current 1.1 setup. Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

This is why I want to find a stock NE2 kernel so we can narrow down the cause of this problem. Don't let your phone go dead! LOL!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wackydroid:
Don't know why, 1.1-stockish seemed to install perfectly but I lost Root. And when I install SuperSU and start it I get

"There is no binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! [no sh*t. Sherlock]

If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually reroot..."

WTF?

Guess I'm gonna try rerooting somehow...

:eek:

[edit] Kingo!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Flashing with the stock NE2 kernel did nothing for the charging issue when phone is turned off. It still does the same thing. The problem must be elsewhere. Removing the dual boot files did not help either. I'm trying different things to hopefully help narrow down the troubleshooting. It seems to me that the issue must be in the system files somewhere but I could be wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
Find the SuperSU flashable zip(I think someone may have linked it in this thread above) and flash it. It will bring root back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
So far I have not had the charging issue on the beta 1.0 or 1.1 that seems to be a problem with some phones. I lost root after flashing but after disabling/un-installing SuperSU I went into Phil's recovery and used the re-root option and rebooted. I then went to the playstore and downloaded the latest SU and all has been well. Have had no problems with the S5 browser. Out of habit I flashed the MMS mod since I have had MMS problems with some custom ROM's even back in my S2 days. Some phones are just finicky like that. Other than that this is a solid ROM and I deleted all my other nandroids this morning. Even found a theme and battery icon pack to my liking. Thanks JL!

I had the same problem with 1.1 downloaded the rom and lost s.u. root. How do fix this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
What recovery and version are you using. Everyone really should be using philz 6.07.9 if you are not already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aquarius169:
6.07.9 Phil I think , I mean the version 1.0 works fine .When I download 1.1 it says S. U. Binary no root .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Would you do a full wipe (including internal sdcard) flash rom then go save the recovery log and upload it. Not sure what is going on but the link is the exact same rom that was originally posted and there was not an issue with losing root before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I also like being able to sync my google bookmarks through the stock browser but I like having new & improved browser so I guess that's a sacrifice. ISamsung obviously wants people to sync through their Samsung account in their browser. If I can find the code to implement the sync adapter with the S5 browser I will see if that's even possible. This has been something that has bugged me as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobmrly:
Back when I was on the alpha versions, I was able to cast my phone screen using Chromecast. Ever since I went on beta, the option to cast the screen disappeared. Screen casting is only available on android versions 4.4.2 and above, which this rom is. Is there something in the beta version that is preventing screen sharing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pennie77:
I think I found a bug if someone could please verify the power saving mode button on the notification drop down turns on but not off and starts acting up and lagging once trying to turn it off. I have to go directly to settings to turn it off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
It works fine for me. My first install of 1.1, which was buggy because I was on the wrong version of Philz, had it so that the grayscale mode turned off when your screen went to sleep, but as of right now, fresh proper install, the power saver stuff all works like a charm. There's a little bit of a delay and a popup as it's switching back to normal mode, but it doesn't strike me as something wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankrendon:
Anyone having any luck using the signature unlock? Get an error about "settings have stopped"?

I followed the OP again and I used the Philz 6.07.9 link and after wiping everything and format /data /data/media, I still got the superSU prompt. My version does not show Philz 6.07.9 in recovery mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
No it will only show CWM base version, If you flashed Phil's 6.07.9 then you should see "Phil's settings" in the menu and it should be fine. while in Phil's recovery if you get the message that your phone doesn't seem to have root, you should choose the option to NOT root your phone. Ignore that message. If you chose to let Phil's recover root your phone then there might be an issue. If you're having issues start over fresh but ignore the root message in Phil's recovery because it is misleading. You do have root so ignore that message and select NO.

I did everything perfectly twice including formatting data-data/media (habit), have the right version of Philz (from the OP), and I got unceremoniously unrooted. And neither the SuperSU uninstall trick, or the 2.02 upgrade zip fixed it. And Kingo took about 4 attempts, but finally got it right.

This time I made sure it was after a full wipe and flash before creating the log file in Philz.
