How can i swap my Internal memory with my external memory :(

Phone's unit (Skk mobile Glimpse 2 Unrooted)

Already search for memory swaps but it didnt actually help me

HELP ME PLEASEEE im Still a newbie :( Hoping for a fast reply

Thanksss :)
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
Hey try to search XDA before posting new question..... I think there is already a tutorial /thread about this....

Hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] kickerboys:
Can you please give me a link? Where this thread is located? And Is it specifically for my phone's unit?

Because I found lots of ways how to do memory swap but not actually for my phone's unit
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
There is an app on play store...

And if you have problem with this apps you may use this method

[General Questions and Answers] kickerboys:
I think the link you gave me it requires rooted phone.

I got tons of questions in my mind but i think it would cause you trouble already.

Anyways thanks for the suggestions :)
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
Oh bro .... Root must be required in any app of this kind....

Without root it is not possible to do this
[General Questions and Answers] kickerboys:
I heard rooting is risky, Do you have any known apps with low risk for rooting?

Or there are no such thing with low risk?
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
I think this is no risky.... You can grant or deny root permissions for any app.... So if you grant root permissions to any app you should know that why you have given it root permissions and what do you want to do with this app.......

So if you are careful and read guides before doing some changes in system files.... There will be no problem at all....

For root your phone.... Search XDA..

And you can use foldermount instead swapping memory...

it is easy and it will solve your problem....

Update 2: Added a Wi-Fi Hot Spot Fix, thanks to [MENTION=5978123]cooperg21[/MENTION]

Update 1: I have attached the recovery, EFS and PIT I personally used on my phone to do this fix, as requested by a fellow member

I've seen a few people that accidentally "bricked" their Verizon Note 2 by accidentally installing the N7100 Bootloader. I myself did this, attempted the resistor mentioned by a fellow member and that also would not work for me. So I set out to find an alternative way to do it, and was successful. You don't even have to open the phone to do it.

You will need:

Odin Software

Stock ND3 Odin compatible stock ROM (I used N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF)

N7100 TWRP Recovery (Latest Version, Odin Flashable)(attached to this post)

An i605 ROM (I used DN3).

A backup of your own EFS(if you have one), or the backup I provided(attached to this post)

N7100 PIT File, to repartition your Internal Storage to work with the stock N7100 ROM(attached to this post)

1. Use odin to write the N7100 pit file

2. Then, using Odin, load "N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF" into the "PDA" section, after that was finished, I booted into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. That allowed the phone to boot up, but baseband was "Unknown" and it had no service.

3. Then, use Odin to flash the latest version of TWRP for the N7100(it MUST be n7100 or it will bootloop/stick on the Samsung/Rom Booting screen)

4. Then you must flash "N7100_ND3_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_V82.zip" using TWRP recovery, it will boot that up just fine, still says "Unknown" for baseband(i'll explain later why I flashed this, and am directing you to also flash this, despite bootloader still not working).

5. Afterwards, flash the EFS file(attached to this post) using ODIN. This will help resolve the lost Baseband/IMEI problem encountered with flashing the stock N7100 ROM in Step 1.

5. After that, flash "DN3_v5.2_VZW.zip", again, using TWRP Recovery. After that my phone booted up it had service and all of my apps worked.

When I skipped Step 4, a few apps wouldn't work correctly. Instagram wouldn't refresh the feed or load anything, Snapchat wouldn't open anything or send anything either. I'm not sure why that happens, but it ONLY happened if I didn't flash the N7100_ND3_DRKetan ROM before flashing the DN3 ROM

I know this device is beginning to get old, but I hope this can help someone in the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xnatex21:
Was your phone previously rooted with an unlocked bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
I'm honestly not sure, I got it second hand from someone, went to flash a new ROM to it and accidentally did the wrong bootloader for the ROM prerequisite. But I don't imagine what used to be on the phone will matter, because the bootloader from the N7100 would've written over it, and flashing the stock N7100 Odin files will overwrite anything previously on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
I did this but it was just a white screen. mtvideos fixed it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djtenox:
I too accidently flashed this N1700 onto my I605 :(

How do you flash the ND3 ROM if you can't get into recovery? With Odin I've tried loading

-N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar.md5

-root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5

-I605VRUAND3_I605VZWAND3_I605VRUAND3_HOME.tar

None with no avail.

They all either never get past the PIT file and or unsuccessful, after rebooting both phone and PC and even tried another PC

at this point I am thinking of paying the 50$ for the JTAG fix. However any advice or suggestions would be helpful.

Also I tried this on both 3.07 and 3.09

PRODCUT NAME : GT-N7100

should be i605. The one that messed this up was N7100

N7100_KK_ND3_BL.tar.md5

... after this, it just rebooted and flash the Note 2 screen with GT-N7100 every 2 seconds... I can only put it in download mode. Recoevery mode will not work :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:

These are the exact steps I followed, after accidentally flashing the N7100 bootloader onto my i605 Note 2. You MIGHT also have to flash the i605 EFS file to restore your baseband. On ocassion, I had to or I would get Unknown Bootloader. It would also help to flash the "I605VRAMC3 Modem.zip" file, to ensure you're on the i605 Modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djtenox:
Ok I followed it to a T and got it up with DN3 ROM, So now it at least has a ROM.

I need to load i605 EFS, I have both that and the Modem.zip. Question now is I saw many installers via app to install it however they all say N7100 loader only. I am not sure weather to use that method or another one. Would Odin install it ? if so what would be the procedures for this?

ANYWAY THANKS A LOT..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
the EFS would be flashed via Odin, Modem is flashed via TWRP Recovery. I attached the modem and efs that I used to this post.

I'm glad my post could help you :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djtenox:
Ok for the EFS , on Odin, which did you select to install it

Bootloader

PDA

PHONE

CSC

also inside that tar ball there are 3 files. I don't want to "brick" my device again. I've searched plenty of places for Odin flashing EFS but no avail with these instructions, again many thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djtenox:
THANK YOU.

I actually did not find direction, however I found many bash programs that did it automatically and looked at their code, they Added the efs via PDA

then it booted and for good measure I went through the TWRP and installed the modem. Rebooted and I GOT 4G back and a working ROM. If you need any designs / music mixing or anything like that I can see what I can do. Life Saver !

Question, from now on will I need to install roms that are for the N7100 ? I will backup/restore the efs/modem just in case for these too correct if this is the case?

Or can I install i605 ROMS ?

Again MUCH KUDOS !:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
I haven't tried any other ROMs, I do know that some kernels don't do too well, flashing the AGNI kernel caused me to lose my baseband no matter what I flashed afterwards, haven't found out why yet. The ROM that you flashed at the end, that the phone works with, is a i605 ROM right from the Verizon Note 2 section of these forums. And sorry for the delay in reply, had to do some work on my car lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djtenox:
No worries, I needed to do much research .. But ok. Your method worked well and I tested everything so far, only wifi hotspot did not work, but I don't use it as much to comlain. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
That's most likely a problem with the ROM itself, but either way you're welcome -- i'm glad I could help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooperg21:
I think I have the same issue as you. I wasn't paying attention and I installed a n7100 bootloader on my i605 phone.

Anyway, I did a search for N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF and it looks as if that rom is French. Is that going to cause an issue?

No, there won't be any problems. I'm in the USA and speak english and it worked fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooperg21:
Thank you very much. I was able to get it installed (kindof). It kept on flashing up with errors. I was able to get TWRP installed. However, my PC says that my phone's capacity is only 107MB now.

I'm going to try putting my SD card back in (had to take it out to get the PIT file working).

I couldn't find the ROM "N7100_ND3_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_V82.zip"but found "N7100_ND3_Prerooted_deknoxed_debloatableV3".

Would that work before I install the i605 rom? Thanks again for all of your help!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
Are you sure you flashed the N7100 recovery, rather than the i605 recovery?

Also, here is a link to the DrKetan ROM

would be sweet to see if this worked for locked bootloaders and allowed us to flash stuff again ;)

Anybody out there wanna test? I'm pretty close to testing it on mine...since i'm about ready to switch to T-Mobile anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlakeDC:
Well, I'm taking the plunge now.

I went in to flash Trent's new B8, wiped data and TWRP crashed or something, then it bootlooped at the Note 2 screen. So instead of ODIN'ing back to VZW stock, i'm going to intentionally brick this beast to try this **** out lol

So annoyed at how bad this phone turned out to be once the 4.3 OTA was accidentally accepted by a lesser being in my house ;:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

my phone must be a beast, it fails to flash everything. It's gaurded by an angel!

I can't flash the n7100 bootloader onto it, it asks for pit, i put the pit, nothing. Just sits there saying looking for PIT to partition for bootloader. womp womp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooperg21:
I think so. Here is what I installed.

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByGZ52Krjat1QzdBWVJZTlk0VTg&export=download

Next step is the.... N7100 Dr.Ketan Custom ROM V 8.1

I ran into some issues with the PIT file (tried two different ones that I randomly found) and when I installed the above rom, it froze a couple of times in ODIN, but the third time was the charm. (If there is any way you could upload a link to the PIT file, future viewers with this problem would be really grateful!) :)

Is this it?

I'm moving everything onto my card via another phone and will update when I have an answer as to whether or not it worked. Thank again!

- My phone is currently stuck on the Samsung Screen. I'm thinking I didn't do the setup options correct on the rom....

- Tried wiping and reflashing rom but now I can't get past the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 screen.....

- OK, Starting process again..... so I went back and reinstalled the French Recovery for the N7100. (Listed above). I think my original download didn't work so I redownloaded it. It flashed through Odin and booted without any weird errors! I'm going to follow the rest of the steps now.

- Installed TWRP: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.1-t03g.img.tar

- Installing the N7100 Dr.Ketan Custom ROM V 8.1 now via TWRP

- TWRP said FAILED after the install but I rebooted and my phone now says "Android is upgrading...",

- SUCCESS! The ROM installed. (just picked default/skip options) Now I'm going to install the DN3 Rom via TWRP

- Got DN3 up and running but no cell reception. Went to install the EFS via Odin 3.09 but it crashed Odin.... Trying with 3.07.... 3.07 got to NAND write start and my phone has a blue bar across the bottom but I think it's stuck... Task Mgr. shows little to no activity.... Time to try again.... I was able to restore an EFS via TWRPfrom a backup I had made but still no cell reception..... :/

- It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just impatient. After about 30 seconds, I have cell reception! CHRiS, you truly are infamous! You are awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Did you try just running the PIT by itself using Odin 3.7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
I wouldn't do that, this isn't really a method to use for downgrade, I personally cannot get any of the ROMs from the Original Android Dev section to work(ParanoidAndroid, AOSP, Etc) Not sure why, i'll eventually look into it, but this is just made as a last ditch effort for someone who accidentally flashed the wrong bootloader.

Try different versions of ODIN. I personally used 3.07 as well as 1.85. If I remember correctly, I had to use 1.85 to flash the PIT, because 3.07 had the same problem you're having.

I have added the recovery, pit and efs files that I used to my first post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djtenox:
Yeah the signal doesn't seem to be up at boot, it happens everytime I reboot my phone, but it does come back

I also did this whole method and it is working til this day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
Mine doesn't have a signal for maybe 10-15 seconds at boot, but gains signal after that with no issues at all. Just trying to figure out why I can't use AOSP/ParanoidAndroid/Etc ROMs on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlakeDC:
Sounds like a locked BL if you can't flash those. Usually won't work BC of the lack of a new kernel etc.

Maybe try the method but with an older 4.1 boot loader/ROM and see if you can unlock at that point?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
I can flash new kernels, but they won't get service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
Just an update, confirmed that the Jedi-X20 ROM is 100% working on this phone as well. Here is a link to that:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2135508

Flash it at the end, instead of flashing "DN3_v5.2_VZW.zip".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooperg21:
Thanks again Chris!

I just had a quick question. I obviously should not follow step four and five (Wipe Data and System) when downloading this because I need the N7100 base rom, correct?

Okay, I've been trying all day and it just doesn't want to install. I tried wiping, not wiping, etc. I might have to just start from scratch. Do you actually boot up the n7100 rom or do you just install then immediately flash the Verizon rom? Are you clearing the Cache or anything between the last two roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
I just flashed the ROM like I normally flash a ROM. Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache and formatted /system. Flashed the ROM, factory reset again and it worked. The only problem that I ran into that I hadn't noticed until I left my house, is that cellular data isn't working for me at all (AT&T). I can still make/receive calls, but wasn't able to go on the internet without Wi-Fi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooperg21:
Thanks. I was finally able to get the rom to stick but unfortuantly, I couldn't get any voice or data (Verizon). It kept on trying to switch to global and said that I didn't have a SIM card inserted. I tried flashing the EPS and modem but I am in the same boat you are.

I have an unlimited plan and use my phone as a wifi hotspot constantly. The DN3 rom works great outside of not having the hotspot.... I couldn't even use PDA net for FoxFi. Thank you very much for looking into other roms. I (and everyone else reading this thread) really appreciate it.

I'm debating about starting from scratch and redoing the PIT file but I don't think that would do much good. Thanks again and please keep us updated on any more roms that you find that might work. :) I'll be stumbling my way through the forums trying to install a rom that might work too.

Also, how are you handling recent applications? Holding the home button no longer works.

--> So, I tried re-installing and changed the options. I got the recent apps to work again but I'm not sure which option i changed....

Also, SOKP doesn't work. It gets stuck on the boot screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
The majority of ROMs I tried wouldn't work, they'd show Unknown Baseband. I believe it might have something to do with the Bootloader we're using from the N7100(perhaps that's a locked bootloader, or older bootloader).

This method is really only for people who realized how badly they messed up flashing the wrong bootloader, and just want a functioning phone back again, like myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooperg21:
Haha, true that. You have no idea how grateful I am for you sharing this method. I was worried I'd have to bust out my soldering iron and probably mess my phone up even worse. Thanks again for all of your help!!!!

Oh yeah, to get Recent Apps to work the way it should, don't select the Remapped Button UI and it will be good to go! Thanks again!

Solution to the DN3 Wifi Hotspot Issue:

1) Download and install Xposed

2) Open and update xposed framework (This didn't work the first time for me but after a clean install of the n7100 rom, then DN3 rom (with all S5 options selected), it worked.)

3) Restart (Might not be necessary but it doesn't hurt)

4) Install the "X Tether" Module in xposed.

5) Restart (Might not be necessary but it doesn't hurt)

6) Turn on mobile hotspot! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
No problem, sir....just thought i'd post my findings/method on here after unsuccessfully attempting the resistor fix. I also added your DN3 Hotspot fix to the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] airslant:
I am doing good so far but now I'm at the step where it say to do the factory reset but I can't do the factory reset. It says E: Unable to mount '/data' and E:unable to mount internal storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
Did you flash the PIT file for the N7100 attached to the OP, using ODIN?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] airslant:
I did and it said it was successful but i couldn't get into the stock recovery. I started over and got into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. I am now running the i605 rom with full service!! I owe you big time Chris.

If you went back and updated the OP with clear step by step instructions including the modem and efs it would easier for us semi-noobs but as is you saved my butt.

Am I understanding you right that I can try to flash other 4.4.2 roms for the i605 now. If they dont work, I can go back to twrp and restore the backup to the rom in your guide?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thecensor:
Does the $50 JTAG fix have the same issues as this method like problems with Wifi hotspotting and installing different ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
Yes, that is correct. I will update the OP with better directions as well. Thank you for your input.

No, the $50 JTAG fix will restore your phone back to how it was when taken out of the box brand new. This method is just for people who want their phone back working again, without having to spend a single penny.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thecensor:
That's a reasonable price. How to I contact JTAG?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
Here is a link, i've never personally used his services so I cannot comment on how long it takes, or anything like that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] airslant:
Chris, can you tell me ROMs have worked other than the one in the guide after your fix? My battery life is 5 hours using only WiFi on this ROM. Or can you give me an idea of what will happen flashing ROMs now if it's a bad flash of a new ROM?

Why can't we just Odin the i605 bootloader back on now that your fix has us this far?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
I've already talked to censor via pm but they did an amazing job. I talked to Josh a few times, they weren't the best at communication but he explained they are expanding rapidly, he can't update the status via the website etc at this moment.

He not only saved my phone from a bad bootloader flash (I was unlocked and was told for new 4.4.2 roms I needed to upgrade my bootloader, NEVER AGAIN), but because of the time it took he rooted me, and put me on a 4.4.2 rom with mj9 and nd7 base UNLOCKED. Several people on xda couldn't wrap their minds around it but apparently it takes soldering skills?

It's beyond my level of understand. I've only flashed maybe a few roms. I was on beans mostly, and dn3 before I screwed the pooch hard. He even had a hard time "communicating" with my device but apparently MTV are ninjas.

I extracted a few times and the md5 check fails every time.

Nevermind, I re downloaded it and it worked. Now for the rest of it...
