OK this phone used to be great coming from a HTC hero but now I'm really starting to regret the purchase.
I'm fully stock with a EK02 Rom. You have to excuse my ignorance as I don't know what the different radios do. Anyway I'm sick of the phantom LOS and needing to reboot my phone only to find I missed texts. In addition the sound bug when trying to play games on rare occasions is just as annoying.
Are there any roms / radios that fix these issues? What about CM?

Flash either the EL26 or the EL29 radios and see if that fixes your issues, it did mine.
Is this just to fix the Los issue? Do I need to be rooted for this?

Check out the how to videos by QBKing77. He does a good job of explaining the how to process for almost everything.
http://www.youtube.com/user/qbking77#grid/user/6B97247164921053
This particular video shows how to install the EL26 Modem via Odin. I am pretty sure you don't need root to use Odin.

Yes, you need root to flash modems, kernels, ROMS, etc.. Shouldn't be difficult to do that, takes a few minutes.

definitely flash a new radio man. el26 gave me bad battery life. I am now on stock rooted el29 rom radio and rogue el29 kernel and no problems here!

Not really with Odin you don't need root to flash

I think if I'm going to go through the process of flashing a new modem I might as well root my phone as well. As far as I recall the only issue people speculated was root caused then LOS but if I already have that issue what does it matter
That said when I rooted my old hero I never used oden before. The little I have read suggests that oden will increase a flash counter that may or may not be looked at if your phone has an issue. I also thought I read there is a new rooting method that doesn't use oden and will allow me to keep everything stock? I'm not sure what the difference is? One installed a different kernal or something like that? And different kernals give different behaviors.
One thing I did before was a nand backup right after root so I could completely restore my phone. I guess I have some reading to do.

ye, it is tmobile version i am tired and made a typo - corrected thnks and gnite
my phone came with this firmware. is this just posted to revert to stock if on a custom rom or is there other significance?
Has anyone tried flashing yet?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
So this must mean we can flash fash back to stock with odin if we have problems.
yup! this is our fall back ROM. now we need a triangle away to reset the counter!
It Works
I decided to be the test monkey on this one.
I had a nandroid backup of when I screwed my system so badly it just boot looped repeatedly. Restored that with cwm, verified it was still hosed, unpacked this zip, used odin to burn the .tar.md5 to the phone as PDA, rebooted.
It does some gear chunking while booting the first time then reboots - don't panic yet! On second boot it does some more rebuilding, then 'WELCOME!'
Bonus: CWM now sees the actual external sdcard as /sdcard and can find things like roms and backups on it. Edit: This CWM finds .zips on the sdcard, but doesn't seem to know how to backup/restore.
So is this for un rooting our phones?

After burning this with Odin I ended up with a CWM that I didn't expect - and I've never seen one that actually recognized the external card. However, with all the things I've been trying it's quite possible I ended up burning a boot image I forgot about. I need to try reburning this and see if anything changes, but can't do it right now.

Mine stock is T999UVLEM, whats the difference between the two?
does this restore everything, including stock recovery, but resetting the counter?
Strange - I had kind of a weird experience with this. I flashed via Odin as usual (as I've done a 100x before) and when it rebooted, it still had remnants of the previous rom I had installed. I didn't get the "welcome" screen as if I was starting from a new factory rom. but at least it got me back to step 1 and I could flash the Lean 2.1 rom again to repair my screw ups.
OK, so here is my deal. I got my SGS2 a little over a year ago. With the help of this forum I was able to root without issue and flash many of roms. I am now at a point in my playing around that I am having issues doing anything. I would like to just factory reset in Kies, but I can't even do that. For some reason (I have a telus phone), Kies thinks I am a T-Mobile phone, or at least its what I can tell. When I launch Kies and it displays the phone and the and its settings eg: PDA, Radio, etc they all say TMB. I have no idea if that has nything to do with it or not. I tried flashing the Telus radio via Odin, though nothing changed in Kies. The last ROM I used seemed to have screw my Clock Work Recovery and I cannot figure how to get it back. I have tried re-flashing CWR, but I don't think I really understand the difference between Touch and Touch-less. As you can see I am fairly lost at this point. I am turning to all of you for help. I am open to trying anything, just point me to some guides, tips, tricks. I have tried a ton of stuff with no luck. I know these questions get asked all the time and I apologize for making another. I would not be doing so unless I really needed the help as usually I am pretty good with this stuff. I appreciate everyone in this forums and all the time they have put in to bringing us great information. I am thankful to anyone that can help me out. If you need any further info please just ask and I'll provide it as fast as I can!

I have, actually I may be running it now actually. It just seems like I have a lot of over lapping stuff. Things that were not fully removed, parts left behind, etc. Is there a easy way to lock up what ROM is running. I assume it's the stock rom as I have the Samsung Apps application on my phone and that is removed with most custom roms. Like I said I really just want to nuke this biatch and start from step one again. She is running like crap atm.
If you flashed the stock Rom you won't have cwm any more. You'll have to reflash it. The phone will be like it was when it was new.
You can get the stock Rom from Sammobile.com for your device and carrier. You 'll have to extract the tar.md5 file out of it using 7_zip. Then flash it with Odin

Why not reflash the stock ODIN flash rom and make sure it all works ok for you, that will tell you exactly what the problem is.
If the stock rom is working properly, then there is only one thing left which is the culprit and that is the CM10/AOKP/AOSP
or PORTED roms which many people seem to like flashing.
The CM10/AOKP/AOSP and ported roms are excellent if you are a developer or if you like to do a lot of experimentation with your phone.
So the thing to do now is reboot your phone to recovery mode, do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache", "Wipe System" and "Wipe Dalvik".
When that's done Open Odin and put the stock rooted T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 into Odin's PDA slot, go into download mode
and once you see Odin is connected to the phone start the flash. Have patience for the phone to boot after its done flashing.
Here is the stock rooted Odin flash T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 rom that you can download if you like: T999_UVDMD5
Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.2 Firmware
My suggestion to you is to only flash Samsung T999 Tmobile stock based Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 roms in the future.
But who am I to say whats best..... This is just my personal opinion...... Which usually is not worth a dime. LOL
Sorry, but untill we know more about it, I would not flash T999 firmware onto the T999L.
Its only been out a day and tgey are different model phones with different hardware.
If you decide to try anyway, please post your results

I am a newbie. I thought the T999 was the same as the T999L. That would explain why Odin doesnt flash stock T999 onto my device. Can anyone here post a link to the stock SGH-T999L ROM?
Just did a quick check and I dont see that the firmware has been made available for download yet.
If you want stock I would flash one of the stock based custom roms via recovery for now.
Out of curiosity, what is your current baseband version?

I had the same issue with the same phone. Got it 2 weeks ago haha. Did you happen to make a backup first using CWM Recovery? If so, you can just restore that backup and you'll have your camera functionality back. It's pretty annoying switching back and forth from CM10.1 back to stock just to take pictures but Rom manager makes it pretty quick and effortless.
Actually now that I think of it, they prob wont release the original firmware. Seems like the first build is never available, only when an update is released do we get firmware we csn download.
I am working with another member on getting something going for the T999L, but right now we are stuck until a verified safe method of rooting is found. (Dont want to flash a recovery or cf autoroot w/o knowing it wont screw something up)
Itll happen, but we just gotta be patient.
Just reread the op and see that you say you flashed TWRP. So you were able to initially gain root without any problems?

I used Odin to flash Clockwork Mod recovery first. I did not like Clockwork Mod's interface and reflashed with TWRP. I had no problems to gain root with either of these methods. I also tried Cyanogenmod stable 10.0.0 and then 10.1 RC2 without any problems. As far as I can tell, all apps work except for the camera. One word of caution though. As you can see from my posts, I am new and dont know what I am doing. I might have just gotten lucky since my device is still unbricked. I had only one "scary" moment during the entire process. I used TWRP to wipe my phone clean and was stuck with no OS install file. ADB sideload did not work since it could not recognize the device at that point. Luckily, I had a micro SD card lying around and was able to put in a new OS install file using my laptop and then TWRP was able to handle it.

A little while ago I was intrigued by rooting my phone and possibly trying something different. At the moment it is rooted and I ran into a few problems. I have no idea what I am doing but I have a fairly good mind set as long as I am taught by doing. I am mostly hands on with this and reading anything at this point isn't helping. When I rooted my phone I ran into a few issues but managed to fix a few things on my own. Gallery stopped working but got that fixed and snote does not work now. I am assuming it will not work due to Knox. I guess what I am looking to do is understand fully the ways to flash the proper things and how. So far all I have done is rooted using cl auto root then I found a stock Rom which I flashed after and so far no other than snote. At the time I wanted to obtain note 3 apps like air command. Now that 4.4.2 or whatever is coming out I am stuck at what to do. I am also trying to learn and do it the right way. Slow is good. I appreciate the reach out and thanks again.

No worries.
Let's start with KitKat, the next version of firmware to be pushed out whenever ATT feels like it.
The phone needs to be totally stock, non-rooted, no custom recovery, all the original apps. If it's not, the Over The Air update will fail, Usually not a problem since within a week or two one of our gurus gets the files and builts a flashable zip file.
When you flash a ROM it usually with just contain the /system directory. That's the guts of the ROM. Has the apps, ROM properties, it's where the super user command lives.
You can download a ROM. Use unzip and look at the files in there. If a zip file has kernel.img or modem.img the builder has included the modem file, which drives network connections. And the kernel file, which I consider the heart of the ROM.
There are two main custom recovery options. TWRP and CWM.
Here's a good guide for TWRP.
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-twrp-how-to-install-use-it-on-android-devices-guide/
Explains flashing. backing up your ROM, restoring, etc. A must read.
Here's a guide I wrote that explains how to got back to the original stock ROM the Note 2 shipped with, and getting it back to the 4.3 OTA.
Another good read. But I may be a touch biased.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447
Since you did the CF-ROOT, you know how to use ODIN, You can flash TWRP from ODIN. Instructions are in my guide.
As Knox hosed up Note 2, I doubt it. If you want to practice, read the TWRP guide. Then read my guide, go to Post #3. Do option 2. You will flash TWRP, then download one of the stock ROMs built by one of the gurus I mentioned above.
That will get you rooted and should fix your SNote issues.
I know at this point it will fail as I am rooted and if one try to do an update it says I messed with it. I will read your guides above and see what I can make of it. Using Odin was fairly simple but still curious as to which place to put the files in Odin and is it better to put files on ex's card, sdcard or do it from pc

A majority of the flashes in ODIN require the files in PDA. Any deviation from that will hopefully be stated in the instructions.
I'm not sure what you mean by this ?
is it better to put files on ex's card, sdcard or do it from pc
Are you still talking about ODIN? If so from PC......
Yes sorry... I have mobile Odin as well which if I am not mistaken allows you to do the same. Or is it strictly for seeing what you have flashed?

Not sure. I strictly use the PC version. Like what's in my guide. The ODIN 3.07 I think I posted.
Before I go to far here. I just wanted to clarify a few things. I have ai317m which is Rogers Canadian note 2. I am not sure if this makes any difference or not with twrp or the toms u were referring to in your guide. I guess for now let's see if I can get it back to stock so I can for now get back to New Jurkat update. I meant to mention since I had flashed a stock Rom after cfauto that the battery and speed has been great. I can run like 2 to 3 days without charging.
Anyways I am looking at guide now and trying to figure out which one I am supposed to use. Oh and I believe I have twrp installed already just fighting to get booted into it. Been giving me a hard time.

Just realized your guide is the same one I have been using. It has made the most sense to me. I guess the issue screwing me up is finding compatible roms for my phone. Also when I install this rom to 4.1.1 am I losing what I have or will it all remain. Then update to 4.3

Just realized your guide is the same one I have been using. It has made the most sense to me. I guess the issue screwing me up is finding compatible roms for my phone. Also when I install this rom to 4.1.1 am I losing what I have or will it all remain. Then update to 4.3

The 4.1.1 will torch everything. What are you looking to save? Apps ? If so use like Titanium Backup or Mybackup Pro to save them off.
Save them to external sdcard.
As far as what is a compatible ROM, everything under the AT&T Galaxy Note II Android Development is good. There are different flavors. Stick with stock to start off with.

Backing up using TB pro.... Have found one other issue besides snote not working and that is I cannot copy add or change anything on exd card. This is even after I had to format it earlier when I did a clean wipe a few days again. I am doing a sync to drop box and one other online drive. When that is done I will try to do another backup to PC. What's correct way or best way getting into teepee or should I even worry about it. Should I just flash Twrp and then flash 4.1.1 and then update to 4.3?

Even better. If you still have it that would be to flash.

I am downloading 4.1.2. I want to make sure of the ones I have. You are probably right that I should do 4.1.2 first. Or do you think I should just do 4.3 from sams. Would be nice to get all working again properly.

I am d/ling 4.3 froms sams atm. I also have 4.1.2 which I am assuming I need to do first. I do not have knox installed. When I did a wipe last week I ended up not reinstalling it. Files are there for it but its not actually installed. I am doing kies backup right now and I have done titanium backups to phone and onedrive and dropbox.
