[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Cool. Glad you got it restored. If you're on factory stock 4.3, then you can use safeRoot to gain root access. Here's the link to saferoot-- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48392009.

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Oh... and you probably know, but you need to use the modified TWRP called Safestrap in order to run Alliance 26 again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
This looks like a real PIA to root. Thank you so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
Saferoot

I unzipped that file on that thread and there does not seem to be any install bat file to use for step 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
This rooting process is actually very easy. I just downloaded and unzipped the saferoot zip package, and the batch file is definitely there. (see the below screenshot) It's not named "install.bat" -- just "install" (but you can see which one is the batch file).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
No matter what either saferoot or safestrap does not seem my phone

The drivers are there too when I plug phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean. You mean when you followed all the steps in the saferoot thread, and double clicked on the install batch file.... that the saferoot install script could not see your phone? Did you make sure to enable usb debugging in the developer settings on your phone? When you connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable, open a command terminal screen... then type "adb devices" (without the quotes) into the terminal... does it show your phone's serial number to ensure your phone is being seen by the computer? If not, you probably need to install the stand alone Android SDK tools from here:

( https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other ).

Also.... I don't understand what safeStrap would have to do with this. SafeStrap is a modified version of TWRP that you would install onto your phone only after you get the phone rooted with safeRoot. You would need to use SafeStrap as the recovery now because the bootloader was locked permanently after you put factory stock 4.3 on the phone... and regular TWRP and CWM won't work with locked bootloaders. After you get Safestrap on there, you would boot into it to flash the Alliance 26 ROM back onto the phone. You'll need to research in the Safestrap thread for the steps, as I am actually still on 4.1.2 bootloader and don't need to use Safestrap.... so I've never used it. As I recall though, you need to make a full backup of your stock ROM first (also backup the efs if you haven't already). Then you have to flash the custom ROM over the stock ROM slot in Safestrap. Here's a link for the Safestrap thread for your reading pleasure : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2704992

:)

PS: I see where you're posting in the Alliance Build 30 thread for help. To avoid confusion, make sure they know you're on factory stock 4.3 and your trying to root and install Alliance 30 (which is based on Android version 4.4.2). You're going to end up soft bricking the phone again if you try to install Alliance 30 in SafeStrap with stock 4.3. Alliance 30 is based on 4.4.2 and uses a different kernel than Alliance 26 (which is 4.3 based).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
I appreciate your help. One major unexplained problem I had was safestrap or saferoot could not see my device at all using a machine with XP. After switching to a machine with windows 7 both worked and saw device fine. I am now running Beans build 26 and used Safestrap as well. I now ned to make a recovery copy of 26. I did make a copy of the working stock room too just in case. I just need to determine what is the best place to save it off the device too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmarv31:
Save them to your sd card and if u want copy them to your computer just in case you ever need them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I was one of the guys trying to help over there. It was confusing to say the least. There was never any mention of whether the bootloader was unlocked or not. I assumed it was and made suggestions based on that premise. I'm sorry I didn't ask for more detail before I did.

If I had known it was locked I would have never said a word. I know nothing about SafeStrap. I've been on the unlocked VRALJB Bootloader ever since I've had my phone. Sorry I stuck my nose in where it didn't belong.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] chavdar:
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a tool for backup of the installed programs before update and restore them on the new ROM? I tried with Sprite Backup, but than I had to hard reset because the device hang after Splash screen. Such a tool would save a lot of time.:) Greetings!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] flykthewiz:
No No No No No No

The reason you should NOT restore after a flash is that any backup program (Sprite, SPB included) must by its nature backup things like registry and datbase files.

If you restore then you will overwrite the information that the very clever cookers have spent all of their time fixing to make the ROM stable.

Equally backing up PIM data (contacts, calendar, tasks etc) using this type of program and then restoring can cause problems. If you can - sync with PC first and resync after the update. Then you are guarenteed compatibiliy.

If you must backup on the PPC then use programs like SMSBackup and ContactsBackup. These export and import the data rather than taking a copy.

I know it is a pain and takes a long while but I strongly recommend reinstalling after an update.

If anybody knows of a tool that can automate the installation of a number of CABs please please let me know.

Since you don't have wifi, it may be because the ROM is 4.3 with a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Have a look at the thread. The first post says it will update the bootloader and modem to ne4. Are you already on ne4 modem and bootloader? You should be since imei is back with the ne4 bootloader.

I guess I didn't understand yes I'm on ne4 modem and bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Your wifi doesn't turn on or it turns on and cannot connect to a network?

Not sure what to suggest since I have not run into this situation before. You could either flash a custom kernel or flash everything to 4.4.2 using the zip file from that thread.

You could also try to locate an updated csc file as well. Not sure if that will make a difference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karlukalaska:
yes its weird everything seems to work but wifi, wifi just wont turn on slide it over to on it just slides back lol darn bugger
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I not sure that a CSC file will help since that file is really just for carrier customization.

You suppose you could try flashing the full ne4 firmware from the thread I linked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I think [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION] made the correct suggestion. If you wish to stay on your current ROM you will need to update the kernel to enable wifi while using NE4 firmware and modem. I don't recall seeing what ROM you are running. If you are on a TouchWiz ROM you could install the KToonez kernel. The ibuddler kernel should also work and can be found in the Likewise ROM thread. I don't know if ibuddler has yet started a separate thread for the kernel. If you are on a TW ROM and do not wish to flash only the kernel your option is to flash a KitKat ROM.

I would think the same options exist for CyanogenMod and other AOSP based ROMs, but I don't know what kernel to suggest if you are wanting to stay on 4.3. If you flash a KitKat ROM is should have the newer kernel as part of the install process.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
