Came from DN3 with ok gps but to consistent, tried the DN4 installed fine with the wife. 1 and ops fix, except for gps and on start TW freezes or fc's (think it was due to agni settings UT didn't pint the sweet spot. (Tried nova launch her and it freeze or fc to so mite be more than just the luncher)

CyanogenMod based roms. Not stock based roms. Those coming from stock based roms are having far less gps issues.

Try doing a FULL wipe, including the internal memory and flash DN4v2 from scratch. Your system and or data partition may not have been completely wiped beforehand.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Uzi3L:
Everything I do an install of new rom I do a full wipe of internal. Of both data and system. And I do it a few times......

I have never had problems with installing roms in that only gps has always been a problem, that's why I'm hoping the nv backup was going to be a solution, but I can't get into menu mode and it seems I'm to dumb to get the terminal mode to work.

Will try the efs restore method and will report back. Just doing a n android BA know up and saving to computer just incase. Will report back after done.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
Thanks Devs

Did Full System wipe / then unrooted > back to stock 4.4.2 ( Bell Version TW ) Then Rooted TWRP & Then Installed Your Rom ,

No Issues :)

Will Run It for a few days & Come Back with a report ( GPS , data , Text & Everything work Nice so far )

Keep up the hard work

Hi together,

today i installed this DN4 and the addon from here - till now it seems to me that all works fine.

Only what i missed is the email icon. is it up to me that this icon is nowhere?

Can i install it from anywhere?

Before i install DN4 i was short time on original samsung firmeware.....befor i was on DN3 V5.......in both cases the email icon was there....but now not.

What can i do....can anybody help me please?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] KingP1n:
Hoping you guys can help me out. ..I tried installing stock rom from samsung website and root66 and both get stuck logo...even after I wiped completely the phone....something is corrupted internally but not sure how to fix. ..also b4 wiping on stock recovery i get the following error E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument). I tried numerous things but can't get past this...funny thing is I install twrp and restore to DN4 with no issues....I just can get to stock for some reason...any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Uzi3L:
Look back through this thread. There is a link.

Hint do a search for SecEmail.apk
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
What bootloader or baseband version are you currently using??? Trying to install stock rom with an older baseband will cause bootloops. Baseband on stock rom must be the same as current baseband or newer.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Mav41:
Hi Uzi3L,

thank for Tip - i get this apk, but when i try to install alwas get the massage "App not installed".

I try to change permission but without result. How to change the permission from this app...any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
Using a file manager app, place apk file in system/app folder, set permission, and reboot phone.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Mav41:
...many thanks.

I`ll try now :)

Great...it works fine.....thank you!! :)

After stock rom flash, booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset should work also.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] KingP1n:
I have tried factory reset with no luck...my baseband is T889UVUCMK7
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
Download and extract tar. MD5 file from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760975435 Then flash with odin. It is already rooted. Let me know if it works for you.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] KingP1n:
I'll try it again but I already had this and it didn't work. ...I'll try again with this download and wipe factory...wish me luck and I'll report maybe tomorrow?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
did u change the file format before?

also, the display driver in the current kernel (agni) is an upgraded version. if u r downgrading the rom, u will need an older kernel from agni.

finally, if none of the solutions work, reboot the phone and let it run for about 2 min, then reboot to the recovery, get the last_kmsg under /proc and upload it, then send a link to me in pm

Why do i have such little resption ?

#Bell LTE

Baseband i317mVLUDN1
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
Check to see if your modem is the latest version. That might help. I think the latest modem for your phone is I317MVLUDNH2. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for making it possible for on our Note2 LTE. Currently I am unable to select Thai langauge. when I go into Language and input setting, in Samsung keyboard option (select input languages) I notice that there are many languages missing, including Thai language. I am wondering whether is it the DN4 v2 LTE rom or the addon issue. On my N7100 everything seem ok but on N7105 it seem to have the language bug.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] fourwed:
I am quite confused with the GPS solution by restoring to stock rom. Mine is now with clockworkmod v6.0.4.1 and DN4_V2

Should I:

nandroid backup my phone, restore it to 4.1.2 by ODIN, nandroid restore to DN4_V2 (system and data only)

OR

nandroid backup my phone, restore it to 4.1.2 by ODIN, backup EFS and NV of 4.1.2, nandroid restore to DN4_V2 (all), restore EFS and NV of 4.1.2
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] cliff6056:
I have done both of those methods on my i317m, odening back to stock 4.4.2, and they both will show 20 - 23 sats upon bootup after restore of DN4. Lock is fast. However, after a reboot all is lost, back to minimal sats, and no or intermittent lock. No amount of Samsung Tool, TopNTP, or any of the other solutions will get me back to working GPS. So that's my experience, hope yours is better.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
nandroid backup all, odin flash system, reboot, optional backup efs and nv, restore dn4 backup (without efs)

it's strange that after reboot it doesnt work properly anymore. did u apply any gps thing with apps etc in the nandroid backup copy?

one possibility I can think of is, it could be in the first boot, everything's fine, but then the gps got updated but not reloaded during your 1st boot or after reboot. as a result, it didnt work anymore
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
1st, it is not a bug, but just missing some csc

u can mannualy put them into your current dn4 from backup files etc
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
u meant 2.1? not officially tested

glad to hear that
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] rlfy:
Thank you for the reply. Could you kindly teach me how to do it. Where do i backup from and how to put it back. I am sorry for been a noob. :)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
in stock rom with your csc, there is a folder named xxx under /system/csc/, where xxx is your csc code. just copy that folder and put into your current system under the same directory. u may need to apply a csc change
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] fourwed:
Might I know how to restore dn4 without efs in clockworkmod? In the Advanced Restore of clockworkmod, there are

boot

system

data

cache

Which items should be restored?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
all of them. efs should be a standalone restore

Sound like the exact problem I encountered (alright I didn't do the Odin method though).
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] fourwed:
Holy XXXX!!

I restored the Stock 4.4.2 TGY through ODIN. ODIN showed PASSED but cannot boot properly. It remained in the SAMSUNG Logo and looping.

So, I ODIN Stock 4.1.2 TGY, ODIN showed FAILED.

I spent the last hour or so to get it boot. Now I am using Kies and restoring. Might be there is something wrong with the Stock ROM I downloaded. I forget where did I get them but it should not be SamMobile

Update:

Kies restored the ROM but it still not able to boot properly. I then open the recovery mode, wipe data and cache three times. And NOW, finally boot into the Stock 4.4.2.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
i flashed N7105ZHUFOA1, no problem

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] fourwed:
Oh, it turns out the EFS Professional I am using needs ROOTed Device. Is there any software I could use to backup EFS and NV without ROOT?

I am not quite remember how to install the clockworkmod from Stock, use heimdall to install clockworkmod? (any better method?)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
Don't Panic!!! Your gps is fine. Any time you reboot your phone or not use gps for days, gps will go into a deep sleep to save drain on your battery. It will always take longer for the first lock out of deep sleep. But after you get that first lock, it will lock in seconds afterwards. I thought the same thing as you this morning when it took a while to get a lock. But then, I'd remembered that I rebooted my phone to install another battery. Everything went back to normal after first lock.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
no, I think root is needed

clockworkmod? u mean recovery or rom mgr or what?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
I thought he's talking about long gps lock time after rebooted

if it is what u r talking about then it's fine

Cant copy files to SD from my computer.

Almost every night overnight i lose access to SD card from almost all aps on the phone and have to reboot it to get it back.

One is use the most is smart audiobook player and almost every day i have to reboot the phone in the morning to be able to listen to books on the way to work.

Camera on occasion looses access to SD. Had to set it to use internal.

Thanks for help.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] stefy_4545:
warnin

as far as i'm concerned, my SDcard just went dead this morning.......anything i did, or googled would not make it recognizable again, either for the phone, or PC....

what happened was i tried opening root uninstaller which i previously downloaded from market.....used on numerous occasions, but this time, the phone just rebooted, and everything went haywire...... :( i was able to "see" the SD from the device and printers menu....but all it said was 0 bytes, memory, 0 bytes occupancy.......and so forth

now i'm stuck with getting a new one, as long as one of you guys can't point me in another direction......and yes, i used the search button for both this thread as long as a general search in xda :(

ah well......i have most of my stuff already backed up on cloud.....so i'm safe for now
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] hingerl:

Have you tried the "AGNi KiTKaT extSD APPS WRITE ENABLER" found at the top of this page http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49227767&postcount=1 ?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] cliff6056:
Oh, I totally agree something else is still not functioning properly in the gps, at least in my i317m. In response to Thereian2's post about rebooting, and taking longer for the first lock, maybe, but shouldn't that be similar to 4.4.2, which is up and running in a matter of seconds. Either from a fresh install or after days when I haven't used the gps, and also after rebooting. DN4, on the other hand, after the initial re-install works just the same as 4.4.2 on the initial boot up, but after the reboot it doesn't matter how long I leave the gps running, it won't see near as many satellites, the lock is intermittent, and the accuracy does not come close to that when on 4.4.2. I have changed positions inside, gone outside, took it for a drive, and nothing improved it. Nor did any of the tools and suggestions already posted.

As suggested by ykkfive earlier today, maybe the efs is being overwritten by something. I will do a clean install of 4.4.2 through Odin, and a clean install of DN4 files, instead of re-installing the backup and see what happens. But I am pretty sure I did this already without permanent success.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
You may be correct. I tried reinstalling my 4.4.2 efs back-up with samsung tool, and now my gps locks in less than 5 seconds again. Even after rebooting the phone. At some time, something in the efs is being rewritten. But what, I have no idea.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ostap999:
Does nothing for me
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
Sounds like your sd card may be fried.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ostap999:
dual boot into CM and no problems
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] cliff6056:
I tried that and on my device and it did not matter. But what I did discover, after the clean install by Odin of 4.4.2, 23 sats which included the gpstest circles and triangles. Installed DN4 and first boot the 23 Sats are there. Reboot, well all the triangles are gone. They will not appear. So I tried TopNTP hoping to inject them into the programming, and no. Not sure if this is the same symptom as others. Also the Samsung Tool did not replace them either.

Think I read somewhere the circles are US sats, the triangles Russian.

Anyway, hope that may be of assistance to ykkfive and any other fellows working on this rom, which is almost flawless and I think my phone is smoother on DN4 than Samsung's own 4.4.2.

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Lavrentsii:
I noticed that my GPS stopped locking today (after doing the efs fix 2 days ago, confirmed working then and yesterday) and ES showed that a file in efs had been edited today.

I checked the SuperSU logs for today and I have two suspects:

BetterBatteryStats

Xposed installer (I re-ran it earlier since the phone rebooted without it activated once)

I'm hoping it isn't XPosed so I just got rid of BBS. I like Wakelock Detector more, anyway. However now that I think about it, it could definitely be related to that time it booted without XPosed working...I just hope it isn't because I like xposed mods.

Do you happen to have BBS installed/use XPosed?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
No, I don't have either of those installed.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] robikonobi:
I have both bbs and wakelock detecter installed and gps works fine here on my sgh-i317. since my last rom before dn4 was dn3 (i.e. stock)...i didn't need to mess with efs to get my gps to work, so i am not sure if that makes a difference as compared to your case.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Lavrentsii:
hmm ok. What about cf lumen? That's the only other thing that used root access today.

An app would need root to edit something the efs folder, correct?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] scariola:
It's funny that you say Russian. Nokia here maps sets me in Berlin before finding a gps lock. The gps icon is gray and sitting in downtown Berlin.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
I would think that an app would have to have root access to change anything in the efs folder. I have no idea what is being changed in the efs folder,or why, but I am determined to figure it out.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
never seen this kind of problems before, perhaps the sdcard corrupted? I suggest u to boot into cm and then backup the sdcard, followed by a reformat to see if it helps

right, circles are us and triangles are russia, and there are japan and china as well. if u don have the russia's that should be related to the location you set on the device, or the xtra files specified in the gps.conf

have u recharged your phone? the efs change could be due to charge count
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Lavrentsii:
Yes, I recharge every day. Here's how I used phone today. Times are in US Eastern time (10:30pm now, for reference)

9am: take phone off charger

12pm: turn off for an exam

1pm: turn back on after exam, re-run xposed installer

6pm: turn off for exam 2

7:30: turn phone back on

between 8/9 (at home now): Read thread, test GPS again and it wasn't working again
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ostap999:
Did that same thing

works ok in CM does not work with TW

Put card in a reader ran whole bunch of tests - no problems found...

I really like TW and this is awesome ROM but having flaky SD access ruins it for me...

Thinking about going back to 4.3 but to lazy to downgrade bootloader

Don't RESTORE NV only from EFS Professional

To rescue the GPS is all funny and frustrating. Here is what I did and I have a NO Signal and NO IMEI phone for the moment!!

1. With DN4, Backup EFS and NV by EFS Professional v2.1.80.

2. Nandroid backup with CWM v6.0.4.1 (Non touch version)

3. ODIN Stock 4.42

Stuck in the SAMSUNG LOGO when boot, reboot a few times, still the same. ODIN again, same result. Then used Kies emergency recovery, same result. Finally, I go to the Stock Recovery, wipe Data and Cache. Boot well and works fine. GPS and Tethering worked flawlessly​

4. Backup Stock 4.42 EFS and NV by EFS Professional 2.1.80

Have to root the Stock ROM, then install busybox for the EFS Professional to work. It did not go as smooth as I expected. After I googled and rooted the Stock ROM, I used "BusyBox Installer" from the Google Play to install the latest busybox 1.20.1. However, it was not compatible with EFS Professioanl. I had to install another BusyBox APP and install the busybox 1.23. Finally, I was able to backup the Stock EFS and NV​

5. Install CWM v6.0.4.1 (Touch Version)

It is definitely different from the one I had with DN4, I just googled and find it from here - http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/CWM/Note2-CWM-6.0.4.1-GT-N7105.tar​

6. Nandroid restore only the System and Data (Advanced Restore)

Boot to DN4 properly but Wifi could not turn on and it is not rooted. GPS work fine though​

7. Nandroid restore all

I used the Nandroid Restore (Not the Advanced Restore), I think it restored bootloader, system and data. Wifi is back to normal but GPS could not lock and tethering client connected with no traffic, JUST like Before​

8. Restore EFS and NV from Stock ROM 4.42 by EFS Professional v2.1.80 (DON'T DO THIS)

I opened the EFS professional and want to restore the EFS and NV. I don't know why my EFS backup files are not listed in the Restore Tab. So, I skipped and restore the NV. It seems okay but I lost IMEI after a reboot. I wanna restore the DN4 NV but it could not connect. I am now finding a solution. :crying::crying:​

Any suggestion?

GPS problem

T889 T-Mobile.

Everything work fine except GPS. It takes a very long time to get a GPS fix and then it is very unreliable . GPS signal is very low, max 8 satellites in view, no Glonass satellites (tested with GPS test).

Any ideas how to fix this ?
