[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Yeah, nevermind... After doing a little more research into this, I determined this will NOT really do what I thought it would... It could still work, but you would have to modify the kernel settings to allow a high current (800ma-975ma) charge when connected to USB, which would be fine when connected to an A/C charger, but could be very harmful if connected to an actual USB port on a PC. Super Charge and Funky Kernel (both are in the Dev areas here) have this ability, but you make the modifications at the terminal prompt on a rooted phone, not directly in the kernel settings. Essentially you are going to tell the phone to ignore USB standards and charge at 975ma when connected to what it thinks is USB. But like I said, this could be very harmful if it is connected to a "normal" USB port and not an A/C adapter.

Super Charge Kernel (some good into too): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1902008

Funky Kernel (Sense): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1911297

S-OFF is not required (although it is recommended), but you would need to flash the kernel by booting TWRP via fastboot, NOT flashing and starting from the phone. And the kernel has little to do with the Global mode capabilities of the device, it should be irrelevant as long as the kernel is fairly up to date.

Honestly though, for the price of GSM phones now, I would just ditch the Rez and get something else... I mean you can get a phone for under $30 if you really NEED one (Lumia 520), and a nice Android device for around $100-$150 that will not only give you a new device, but one with tremendously better reception and battery life.

IMPORTANT: Especially with HTC devices, there are THREE different types of kernels for the device, AOSP, CM/CAF, or Sense... You must use the correct one for your ROM or you can soft-brick your phone. For a stock phone, a Sense kernel is required, for other ROMs you will have to look at the ROM's OP and see if it is CM/CAF-based or AOSP-based, and use the appropriate kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] romagnus:
Thank you. rooting worked perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
Thanks for reporting your success. I'm happy my guide helped you! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -andone-:
Thanks chzeckmate. This didn't completely work for me because I ended up doing something stupid and throwing myself into a bootloop. I had to reflash NE2 and then took the NK2 OTA. Once that was done I used Chainfire's Auto Root through Odin. Now rooted on NK2 with stock recovery. I may go with a custom recovery later but prefer to leave things as is for now.

Your post got me off the fence about trying to get the NK2 update (just to get rid of the nags) and getting it rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
The second set of instructions deals with fixing the boot loop. You'll notice it instructs you to flash NE2 and then take NK2 OTA and then follow the first set of instructions to root and flash custom recovery. That said, I'm glad you got yourself sorted out. If you want custom recovery now, you can follow the first set of instructions. The fact that you're already rooted doesn't matter, it's totally fine to go ahead. I would highly recommend getting custom recovery so that you can make a nandroid backup to restore from in the event you have any issues in the future. Custom recovery is also necessary for flashing ROMs and ZIPs. I'm of the opinion that custom recovery is essential. Anyway, thanks for reporting. If you have any questions or need any help with anything let me know.

By the way, if you just wanted to get rid of the update nag there's a link at the bottom of this guide for how to do that. See it →HERE←

Thanks again and happy flashing!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -andone-:
Thanks for the follow up. I started out on rooted NE2 and CWM recovery. I was hoping against hope to try to be all sly and avoid needing to reflash NE2. So I flashed the stock recovery back on my device and then used the "unroot" option in SuperSU. This is where I was hoping I could just take the NK2 OTA and then follow your instructions to install TWRP and root. I rebooted the device and there was no more option to install NK2 in the Update Samsung Software menu option. At this point I'm thinking no problem, I'll just go into stock recovery and flash the NK2 OTA I had moved out of the cache folder to prevent an accidental install. When I flashed that, that's when I got stuck in my bootloop. I'm sure there was a no-no in there somewhere. Again, I think no problem, I'll just go flash CWM back on there and grab my latest nandroid. That didn't exactly work since I realized my software and baseband were now different versions. I reflashed NE2 and tried restoring said nandroid to give up for the night. All I got was a neverending parade of force closes from gapps. I finally conceded and just flashed NE2, took NK2 OTA and then CF Auto Rooted. Super long route to what ended up being a very simple solution.

Also, what I did to get rid of the NK2 nag was to open the notification drawer and long press on the notification. It brought up the "App Info" menu option. Clicked that and went into the app info and unchecked the "Show notifications" box. I know it turned off any notifications handled by that system app, but it worked for me so I just went with it.

I wish I had a better grasp on the Android platform than I do. A lot of what I've learned has come from weeding through many, many posts here on XDA and a lot of trial and error on my part. Honestly, I'm both glad and surprised that I haven't bricked my phone yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Seaogre:
thanks.

thanks. it worked. next i'll see how to get a good backup then maybe a new ROM

Downgrade to NE2

I am sorry for out of topic, do we can downgrade from NK2 to NE2 directly from Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Odin will not let you downgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] komputertua:
Is there any other options to downgrade?

I am on stock NK2 and have some trouble with it.

Need to go to fresh MK4 or maybe Ne2.

I've been looking for NK2 tarballs but can't find it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Just flash a custom recovery then custom mk4 rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] komputertua:
So there is no way to go to stock NE2? :(

Sorry for being fussy, could you tell me please what differences between NE2 & NK2? Is NK2 a major update including new radio and bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
NK2 is only a minor security update. Bootloader, modem, and kernel did not change. So you might be able to odin ne2 over nk2 but trying to odin any other version (unless we get something newer aka lollipop) will fail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] komputertua:
Thankyou jlmancuso, it works.

I've downgraded from NK2 to NE2, directly from Odin.

Thankyou very much :)

lost root, can't get it back

I had root while on ne2. took nk2. lost root. 27 May decided to re-root. worked great. backed up with titanium. downloaded twrp manager. it said I needed root. retried titanium. it didn't have root either. re-did these instructions again and again. all "seems" right with the world. I got "passed" in green. I got "team win" ! installed super su 1.94. looked ok. but no root. what is there that I don't know? any ideas! I did have some trouble with my sd card. Sandisk 64 GIG did not want to read. replaced it. :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Would help if you stated exactly which rom you were using. Stock or name of the custom rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Seaogre:
lost root, can't get it back

First I want to thank you for the quick reply!!

it was still stock rom! sorry about that. I am still headed the custom rom way. Do you know about the bluetooth stack prob? I need a rom that has that fixed.

I found out what happened. the 64 gig Sandisk sd card was wonky and it lost the super user app that managed. (I had forgotten about it) I had tried several apps (to see if any could get root) I reloaded samsung drivers. I swapped cables. Finally all is well.

all of this and I haven't even soft bricked my phone! It is great to know that you guys are ready to assist. That is what makes me brave!

Thanks again!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BipolarMike:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesterGrafix:
Hey y'all, sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm looking at rooting my son's Sprint Note 2. Currently it's on stock. If I follow this will it give me root so that I can install roms? I found one here on XDA that basically makes it a WiFi only tablet which is exactly what I need. Sorry again if I should have asked thus elsewhere but this just seems really straight forward and others have told me that rooting this phone was a huge pain. Currently it's on 4.4.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
Get the latest supersu here and follow the instructions. You'll be rooted in a jiffy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesterGrafix:
I tried with the SuperSU that chzeckmate sent me (thanks ?) but I get an error saying SuperSU stopped and it's not in my app drawer. I get this message each time I reboot...

[Sony Xperia ZR] padoverc:
I know this type of question is asked too much on here, but I have searched the forums and not found the answer I am looking for. This is my very first experience with an android device, so please don't just reply with "you should already know this and that," because I don't. At least not yet. My phone is an Xperia feat. Hatsune Miku running 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, firmware version 10.3.1.B.2.13. I have adb installed onto my windows 7 laptop, and it has been manually added to the path variable. I have downloaded the 20140917.zip, and extracted it to my desktop. I have Sony PC Companion installed. And I have USB Debugging and Enable apk's from outside the play store checked on the phone.I just want to confirm, that this will all work as the searches I have made imply: the phone will be powered on, and plugged in by USB, I will run the .BAT file from the .zip, and the phone will reboot, then be rooted, with SuperSu installed in the app drawer. Am I missing anything? Like I said, I am new to this, so I would just like a final nod that this will work as described. I don't plan on installing a custom ROM, I just want to be able to run AdAway, and Tasker.

Sorry for the wall of text, thanks for your time.
[Sony Xperia ZR] vipulkarkar:
Don't just root your device because some app needs root.

Check this alternative for AdAway and as far as Takser is concerned, Tasker runs without Root too.

If you still need to root your device: Check out this thread.

Press Thanks if it helped you.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Mikuloli123:
hey i have the same phone(firmware) on my normal ZR just install towelroot.apk and then press on make it ra1n. worked for me on 10.3.1.b.2.13 and older. after that install supersu from playstore and open it then it asks you for a binary update press the button "normal"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XDA Visitor:
Firstly, lets state the obvious. I know it can however I have ran into a few road blocks that I cannot overcome. This is what I know:

Phone: SGH-I727R Code named "skyrocket". Screen is broken however the buttons still light up indicating the phone has power. I have had this device for years.

Problem: When I connect my device to my computer, nothing indicates the phone is connected. I assume the "USB bugging" feature is turned off.

Solution: I have researched endlessly and turned up that this might be possible using Android Studio or Android SDK Tools by using a code to enable the device. I am not familiar with any type of coding and my fear is i might do more damage then good. The only reason I am trying to transfer the pictures is my best friend passed away recently. I know this device is quite old and nobody can probably help however I feel I should try.

Anything that can be done would be much appreciated.

If you can boot into download mode flash the latest twrp recovery using Odin. Look for a .tar.md5 file, see Vincom's sticky in the development forum. From twrp you'll be able copy files from your device to your pc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r53tuning:
Thank you for your input. Much appreciated.

I downloaded Odin and the twrp file ( I belive). . I do have a question though. Wouldn't re installing the firmware delete the entire device?

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Also, I now have been able to see a icon come up. The icon indicates my phone however it only shows SGH-I727R, "Digital Camera" however i cannot access this.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r53tuning:
Hi uwannabananababy,

Thank you for the input. The screen does not power on however using the USB cable, my computer manged to pick up the device. The device is not labelled as a Hard drive but rather a Samsung Camera labelled as my phone model. SGH-I727R. I have loaded Odin however the program does not recognize it. I also downloaded Kies which does show it connected but it locks up on the connecting screen.

Could this mean that the USB connection is working (USB debugging mode is active). Maybe the device has a password that needs to be entered.

Could somebody explain what twrp means.

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Twrp is a custom recovery. It replaces the stock recovery and gives you more flexibility to work with your phone rile booted into it. The latest version shows mtp to work and you'd can copy and paste files from your device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Hi, vincom, long time since I've posted on one of your threads. Thanks for the continuing support of this rather old gem.

Since this is a thread discussing broken screens, I thought I'd post here, since that's kinda my target audience.

What I'm wondering if is someone has an old I727 sitting in a drawer, collecting dust because the screen's broken, that they'd like to sell cheap (or give away??? :) ).

My problem is the opposite, I've managed to kill my motherboard on a phone with a perfect screen. I'd like to get the phone working again, because my girlfriend has a phone that--horror of horrors!--only makes phone calls and sends SMS messages. Being in Mexico, the only motherboards available here are for the International version, which is completely incompatible with the 727.

Also, if you have some important data on the phone you'd like to recover, I'd be glad to grab that off for you and send it back, assuming I have a successful install.

Let me know if this describes you, and we'll chat.

Thanks in advance!

i recently did a clean install of lollipop on my nexus 10 but noticed when in settings hw+ and hw decoder is enabled as default and when i play some xvid avi files, they show as hw+ or hw decoder at first but like in kitkat it used to switch to sw when hw+ or hw didnt work but in lollipop it doesnt switch and causes the player to be very laggy and after sometime crash. If i goto settings and disable hw+ or hw as default then it plays with sw at first and works fine. The switching from hw+ or hw to sw doesnt work as intended.

one more thing i noticed is under android developer options if i force gpu rendering for 2d drawings then it seems to switch from hw+ or hw to sw just fine without a hang so i guess that will give u a clue on where the bug is
