try long back
Thought mine had disappeared too but long holding the back key opens and closes the widget. May just be as simple as that
I just tried to check for updates on my Note 2 and get a pop up that says
Your device has been modified.
Software updates are not available.
The only thing I've done is root the phone so how do I get the multitasking update which my phone didn't ship with?
Ok i have my note2 tmobile us version for 3 days now. 8 don't even see the multitask option. Can anyone point it out? Mine is not rooted yet and the paper manual only has the basic mumbo jumbo, mostly common android stuff.
Thanks
OP: did you root, or did you install a pre-rooted rom?
some older pre-rooted roms don't have the update yet.
the solution is to install a newer rom and use a rooting method that doesn't replace the entire rom.
bangsters: did you try updating?
most notes shipped with an older rom that didn't support it yet.

In order to fix this problem, you need to go into your settings and enable your multiwindow option. After the root, for some reason it undoes that capability.

Hi Guys,
I am really new to the rooting customary process. Pardon me if there are information that I am not aware of. Okay, I always wanted to root to install apps that were restrictive to what I want and how to manage the phone properly. But I bought my Note 2 in Singapore, which is why I was hesitating as most of the guides were for AT&T and other American phone companies.
I was hesitating but a friend of me referred me to a very simple clip to root with using Odin
Needless to say, I rooted the phone and was able to install the couple of applications I wanted though there were a few I still couldn't find replacements for (Market Unlocker, AdAway).
However, I find myself not being to use ROM Manager to backup and change ROMS and being different with how normal people rooted. I think it has got to do with the how I had my phone rooted.
Please advice how I can place myself in what the general public is using as it would be easier for me to configure the phone if I were to try looking for assistance in the future.
Should I unroot and root using the XDA developer suggested way (I found the clip on YouTube but it wasn't for the firmware 4.1.2, thus I hesitated) ? After rooting my phone says its firmware is 4.1.1
Actually, if someone could also answer me whether
1) I can update my phone after rooting or do I need to unroot and update and root it again ?
2) Is the furthest update for Note 2 is 4.1.2 and in order to go for further updates I need to root ?
Again, pardon my knowledge on rooting. Thanks

Please do more research before doing anything but I would question if you have a custom recovery installed? You could use GooManager on the market to install a custom recovery (Open GooManager -> menu -> "Install OpenRecoveryScript") but check your phone model number first and make sure it matches the file you are about to flash. This would enable you to work with flashing and such. Also check your model number I believe the Verizon phones have locked bootloaders and don't know if your will or not (I believe this adds steps to flashing a custom recovery.) Wish I could be of more help.
If there's no such binary installed on my note 2 and I have a software update is it safe to install it without having problems?
I have no idea what rooted means I bought phone like this. Help please. Thanks
It basically means you can install non-official software on the phone such as different, lighter versions (less bloated) of the official ROMs as well as some modifications to make the phone faster or more conservative when it comes to battery usage.

To answer, yes you can install without breaking anything. When updated you may lose root though, there are certain apps out there to help you maintain root with OTA updates if you are wanting to keep it. but more than likely since you are rooted you have a non-stock recovery image. So when the update says rebooting into recovery it will go to your recovery and not install. You will simply reboot your phone and the update notification will be gone.
Although software updates usually break root, the most recent update for note 2 doesn't seem to do that. But it's always smarter to assume it will and protect your root somehow.

Hi everyone,
I rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 a few months back with ODIN I believe. I have had superuser access and can wirelessly tether, increase volume, remove camera click etc.... Love it, all this on Android 4.1. I never flashed any custom rom, just rooted.
Now 4.3 is being pushed to my phone, is it safe to install it? what happen if I do, do I lose root, brick the phone etc? Or, does everything stay the same but now I have 4.3 and not 4.1
As a backup I have a Sprint Note 3 not even opened just in case things go wrong. I know volume is low on Note 3 so in advance any hacks for note 3?
But for now, focus s on the OTA for Sprint Galaxy note 2 and any adverse side effects of accepting the OTA
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
1. It is not safe to install official OTA to your rooted 4.1(only by Kies).
2. You will lose root or you will stay in bootloop.
3. Usually we flash custom rom using twrp(cwm) or ODIN.
Thank you!
RE: Downgrade Galaxy S3 I747 from 4.3(knox) to 4.1.2???
Hi guys,
I've been searching online and no luck finding a good answers. I have a Galaxy S3 I747M(Canadian) that was handed to me.... Sad part is, most average users, whenever they see an update for the phone, they freaking update without research the pros or cons.
Anyhows, I was fiddling with my Galaxy Note 2 and came across on how disable KNOX to achieve Rooting and I thought***** Light Bulb*
Here's my idea, not sure if this will work but, I will root my Galaxy S3 and use the same idea by disabling KNOX using Dr Ketan multitool to rename Knox.*apk files then inject busy box and root. (By the way, I have rooted my S3 this way and it achieve rooting no problem).
Now the question is, since KNOX is disabled, would I be able to downgrade to 4.1.2? Just wondering if other people out there has ever done this route by disabling KNOX and then do downgrade....
What do you guys think?

Dont do it. You will BRICK your phone. For the moment on android 4.3 Samsung galaxy i747M (same as mine on Rogers) therse no way to downgrade. Yon wont be able to downgrade anyway because you have the new bootloader and with the new one, you CANT downgrade, or if you try, you will Soft-Brick your phone.
(In the past, i got an HTC EVO 3D and Soft-Bricked my phone by flashing a wrong Kernel.... so i made some research on the web and i found the a JTAG may be able to unbrick my phone and flash back the good Kernel the good ROM and the good bootloader.... So I sent it to a store who was repairing smrtphones. Tey tell me that they knew what my problem is so they should be able ot fix it but... the next day when i came to get my HTC they told me that finnally EVEN with the JTAG they wasnt able to repair it...)
* All of that to tell you : dont trust JTAG sometimes it may not work...

I have the i747 canadian model too and althpugh you can't downgrade to stock 4.1.2, you can definetly flash a custom 4.1.2 rom which DOES NOT include a bootloader. Im currently running hyperdrive rls 16 which is 4.1.2 based and before that i was rooted on stock 4.3.

I have a question along the same lines, is it possible to restore a nandroid of 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 after updating the bootloader? Does restoring a nandroid affect the bootloader?
I actually haven't don't the official update yet, specifically because I don't like that it's one way. I flashed stock 4.3 without updating the bootloader and I like the improvements.

No by restauring your phone whit nandroid if you are on 4.3 with the new bootloader you will brick your device...
Code:
[ro.bootloader]: [I747MVLUEMK5]
[ro.build.id]: [JZO54K]
[ro.build.hidden_ver]: [I747MVLDMF1]
I'm able to get 4.1.* running but none of the modems seem to work.
Am I screwed if I need to network/sim unlock this?
EDIT: Just found out about EFSv1 vs. EFSv2. Looks like I'm boned for a free unlock.

You cannot use the free method to sim unlock the phone unless you are running a completely stock ROM, inclduing the bootloader. There were a couple of users that downgraded everything to 4.1.1 from 4.3 except the bootloader and the required unlock menu options were not available.
Because the 4.3 upgrade changes to format of the EFS partition.
Nope, its all because of the modem. You never had to flash a 4.1.1 rom, only the modem. The problem is that once you've updated to 4.3, older modems no longer function.
There is little more than factoryapp, s/n, and drm related data on the EFS partition of these devices. They are not like many others where a lot of NV data was stored there.
This is also why backing up the EFS, while not a bad idea, does not protect against many of the things people think it will, such as IMEI loss.
Hi, I need your help!
i have I747 AT&T with 4.1.1 PDA: I747UCDLK3
My main concern what will brick my device if i try downgrade from 4.3 coustm rom?!
Can anyone give my a full list of BT+MO+Ke ? what I found in XDA is short list.
4.3+ bootloader - YES! (I747UCUEMJB and Up will brick )
I being told that I747UCUEMJ2 is the higher i can get downgrade without porblems
I rellay don't know which Modems & Kernals are belong to 4.1.1 VS 4.3+

Once on 4.3 or above you cannot flash older firmware. Only the modem belonging to each build will work.
You can flash older roms, but thats it.

NEVER use such apps to clean ram space. They close these apps and then re-oprn in, which in turn, uses more RAM and battery.
You can simply go to the APP in Application Manager and FORCE CLOSE the app.

Disable all unnecessary apps which you do not want...Have lesser apps which is really needed to run your day.
Logical thinking: Rooting is definitely void your warranty, however what kind of warranty is coming now a days with phones. Physical damage, Burn will not comes under warranty. That only left out with software issues. So for any software issues you can very well download the original firmware from sammobile.com and keep it with you. Go back to original firmware whenever you have software issues. As simple as that. Any physical damage need to be payment to service center in spite of having warranty or not.

I was thinking to root my Note 3 neo indeed, but your story of warranty is true!
Only thing is. This is my FIRST android device ever. I always used apple for some weird reason ..
I know that rooting will trip KNOX to 0x1.
But I Don't know, how to root my note 3 neo n7505. On JB 4.3.
And, suggest I brick my phone. What can i do? is it literally bricked? Or can i flash back the orginal firmware?
( I didn't find n7505 4.3 firmware on sammobile, though.. )
Hope someone can help me

I suggest not to rush on rooting your phone as you do not have much exp. My first iphone is also rooted. You need to study little bit to understand root and always find out the back up plan. That is keep your original firmware ready to flash.
Indian Note 3 Neo got Kitkat update few days back, you should also get that. So I suggest just wait for another 1 month and meanwhile study about rooting.
Your phone firmware is available at Sammobile, may be not for your country but as far as model is same you can flash firmware of any other country. The languages may be diff, however Eng should be always there.
Try to download some firmware of the neighbor country.
One note: Once your phone is updated to latest firmware, you can not go back to old firmware..
Check how to flash firmware thru desktop Odin in You tube.
