[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
Guys I have a theory and would like your opinion about that.

I think that people that are facing problem updating in the latest builts of the rom, as those who have the same problem in the last 2 versions in RR threads, have older boot loader than the rest of us and this is why they are having these problems.

I thought that battery could also be a problem , but some users told me that their battery is not the problem,

So , what I have done :

I have used SAMFIRM and have downloaded the latest stock rom of our phone (date 29/3/017 ) with the latest BL, CP, AP and CSC

I have choose BINARY NATURE and so I have taken all 4 these , separate in .tar format that can be flashed through odin and update the phone.

There is a method that i have learned and used in the Lineage thread for Note 4 that I follow for my other Note.

This method is suggested by [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] , who is for the Note 4 , what [MENTION=539770]tilaksidduram[/MENTION] is for our Note 2

What is that method:

Power off your phone

Start your phone straight in download mode (volume down + home + power buttons)

connect it to your pc. start odin by right click>run as administrator. Make sure it says ''ADDED''

put N7100XXXXX_BL.tar" in the BL slot,

N7100XXXXX_CP.tar" in the CP slot, and

"twrp-3.1.0-0-XXX.tar" in the AP slot.

Click to the "Options" tab and uncheck "Auto Reboot".

Click Start.

Once everything is successfully flashed( odin says PASS) unpulg the phone, take out the battery, wait 1 minute,put back the battery,

switch on the phone straight in recovery mode holding vol-up + home + power.(hold until see 3 times the Samsung logo and let them )

Booting in the TWRP follow what we do for a very, very clean flash,

wiping and formating everything (factory reset> advance wipe everything>format data)

and THEN from the ext sdcard where you have copied ROM and Gapps, procced in

installing Rom>Gapps 7.1.2 >wipe cashe and dalvik and reboot system

THIS METHOD HAS WORKED very good for me In my note 4 and was able to install Lineage rom in it, after tens of previous attempts that always had lead me to endless boot loops.

For that reason I have created a mega upload zip , in which you can find:

xxxxx_BL.tar,

xxxxx_CP.tar,

twrp 3.1_unofficial.tar,

odin .12.3. zip ,

that I have used for flashing stock rom in both my Note 4 and NOTE 2 , so I am sure that is working as it should for our phone.

Also the latest Samsung usb drivers 1.5.63 so to be sure your pc recognizes correct your phone.

Every one who is willing to take that risk

, like I did, can take it and use it to update his phone's BL and CP (modem) and TWRP 3.1, all at the same time, without having to flash all stock rom and do all that from the beginning. (the file is <15Mb) N7100UP. ZIP
