[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Stock & Rooted Android 4.4.2 packages for the AT&T i317 Note 2 (firmware version UCUCNJ2) in Odin and recovery flashable formats. Plus Rooted/Deodexed version of same, with restoration of SELinux file context security info, (eliminates issues when returning from custom kernels).

These are options flashable from custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) or via Odin. They are built from the August 2015 stock OTA for the AT&T I317.

** They do not include bootloader or tz files (you have the option to flash these later if desired) **

** IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON THE MK6, NE5, NJ1, or NJ2 BOOTLOADER (OR ABOVE) FLASHING ANY OF THESE PACKAGES WILL TRIP THE KNOX FLAG **

These packages are intended only for the AT&T version of the Note 2 and include the modem for this phone. Flashing on any other North American Note 2 will result in a soft brick and require a re-flash of the modem specific to your phone. Flashing on any other phone will likely require a complete reflash of your phone's stock firmware to recover - do not attempt. The other standard disclaimers apply - while these packages have been tested and work on the AT&T i317, you assume all risk in flashing.

All stock firmware packages include the system firmware, kernel, and modem from UCUCNJ2. The rooted versions include Linus Yang's build of busybox. The rooted Odin package includes a a slightly customized kernel (I added init.d support for some cleanup scripts that were needed). The full packages do not include recovery, bootloader or tz (you install the last two separately via Odin if needed).

The stock packages do not include root access - you will need to flash SuperSU separately if you use these packages.

Install instructions

:

For Odin packages a format of /system from custom recovery is strongly recommended prior to flashing. (The CWM/TWRP packages will do this for you). If you are coming from another stock-based i317 firmware data/factory wipe should not be necessary. If coming from any other firmware (or if after flashing you get stuck at the Samsung or AT&T boot logo) data/factory wipe is recommended from recovery. Make any needed app and SD card backups beforehand.

**NOTE** Odin ZIP packages should be unzipped ONCE. The extracted MD5 file should be placed in the PDA slot in the Odin app. Do not change any other options. If the phone shows up on top as COMn and the MD5 checks out OK in the status window, you are good to click Start. **

1 - Download the package(s) you plan to install.

2 - Copy any CWM/TWRP packages and SuperSU (if needed) to your phone (external SD card recommended if you need to do a factory reset)

3 - Install a current custom recovery - I've been using Philz CWM v6.48.4, but current TWRP or standard CWM should also be fine

4 - Boot recovery, perform needed wipes (see first section under install)

5 - Flash package (Odin or CWM/TWRP)

6 - (Stock packages) Boot phone once, click past any setup screens, let settle for a few minutes

7 - (Stock packages) Boot recovery, flash SuperSU

8 - Boot phone, (click past setup screens), run SuperSU, disable Knox - SuperSU will hang - wait a minute, restart phone

9 - After restart, run SuperSU again, disable Knox again, this time it will take

10 - profit

If you *are not* running 4.3 (MK6), 4.4.2 (NE5, NJ1, NJ2) or newer bootloader

:

After flashing one of the firmware packages above flash the bootloader package below in Odin to get wifi working (sorry, no option available for CWM/TWRP). I've included the Odin executable just after if needed.

Bootloader needs to be flashed only once. See post #2 here for information on how to check what version of bootloader you have installed.

** Warning - do not attempt to flash MJ4 bootloaders if you already have the MK6, NE5, or NJ1 bootloaders - this will soft brick your phone - see post #2 in my MK6 thread for more **

AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY) --- AFH

If you *are* running 4.3 (MK6) or 4.4.2 (NE5, NJ1, or NJ2) bootloader

:

]After flashing one of the full packages, you may need to flash the NJ2 tz.img and optionally the param.bin (from the MJ4 leak). The param.bin is sometimes needed if you are on one of these bootloaders and have previously reverted to 4.1 firmware. The zips below contain Odin packages for NJ2 TZ with and without PARAM. If after flashing the stock package and you are on one of these bootloaders, try flashing the tz only package first (in Odin), then the tz+param package to see if this gets your phone to boot. You may also need to boot recovery and do a factory reset.

I've also included a final option which adds the NJ2 bootloader if you want to upgrade

and lock

your phone into this version. If you are on MK6 or NE5 (or lower) bootloader you can optionally flash the bootloader package.

You will not be able to revert to an earlier bootloader version once you do this

. Do not attempt if you are already on the NJ2 bootloader - you will soft brick your phone and need to flash something else in Odin to clear the brick. (I recommend something small, like a recovery, or one of the TZ only packages here if they match what you have on your phone). If you flash the bootloader package you can safely flash the file containing the param.bin afterward if need be.

consider donating to him

or buying his pro version)
