Hey everyone, I'm honestly getting confused looking at all the roms and I'm not entirely sure I'm looking at the right thing - Essentially, since the ICS ****up I want to go back to gingerbread when my phone worked. I get 6 hours battery life, on standby, never touching my phone, all radios off. ZERO reception no matter where I go. *****ing aside, I've rooted my GS years ago and havent needed to root the gs2 so I'm a little rusty, Just a simple link to the shipped/stock rom would be appreciated, as I said before I get too confused with all the titles.
Thank yoyu
If it lasts only that few hours then there is definitely something wrong. Try factory reset/wipe. For rooting ICS use method 1 from guide in my signature. For GB ROM check sammobile.com

I have no idea why you keep ignoring me.
I said in your other two threads (here and here) - YOU'RE IN THE WRONG FORUM.
This is the forum for the GT-I9100 model of the Galaxy SII. This phone doesn't even work on Sprint's network.
You have the Sprint variant of the Galaxy SII. It is also called the Epic 4G Touch. That device's forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
I can't make this any more clear. This should not be confusing.
You're confusing yourself; getting confused looking at all the ROMs in the wrong device forum. Stop that. Go to the correct forum for your device.
Also, STOP POSTING the same issue over and over. As I noted above, this is the third thread you've started to complain about ICS on your device. (which still isn't an I9100)
LMAO
the SGS2 fori have become pickled with and by the totally bewildered...
Well, sorry. I've been doing way too much in the past week and the phone not working has made things a little difficult. Didn't mean to ignore, I think I had a post typed out and closed the tab on accident. Will do as you advised shortly.
Thank you
Moved to Epic 4G Touch Q&A, locked other 2 threads.
Well, since your in the right spot, go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20656098

I'd be lying by saying no.
ok so I've been flashing for years now, but mainly only in cwm or twrp, and just recently on odin. My last phones were a hauwei ascend, a nexus s 4g, and now the gs3. I accidently hard bricked my friends gs2....just happened to hit that right bug. Thankfully they replaced it free of charge...said the motherboard for the display went bad?? anyways I've never hard bricked a phone, and it kind of scared me of flashing again, especially my xmas present a new gs3. I've been enjoying the stock rom unrooted for awhile but being the nerd I am, I want to go further and more customization. I just rooted and recoveried my phone tonight...my concern is what are the known hard bricks for this device so I can steer clear of it, and avoid the hellstorm my girlfriend will give me!
The main thing is not to flash ROMs that are for the international version of the phone.

Well, the only issue I've really come around is that some users have reported that their SD cards corrupt during rare occurrences, mainly after flashing of new ROMs and such. You can read more of it here. Also, as mentioned above, do NOT flash any GS3 international ROMs/kernels/recoveries/mods. Other than that, you should be fine

what will happend if the rooting is fail?
If rooting failed youve done something wrong.
These phones(S3s) are amazingly easy to root, flash, and maintain. Id be willing to bet your friends S2 wasnt hard bricked. If it booted into download mode or recovery it wasnt hard bricked. I maintain 4 phones other then my own and have owned 7 phones total. Never even been close to a hard brick. Just read up before ya do anything and you'll be good. I soft bricked my Huawei Ascend, didn't have a computer handy so I took it to Cricket to have the stock rom reflashed. They told me I fried the motherboard. I got it back and fixed it myself. Obviously it wasnt fried. I sold it and told Cricket to shove it.

To add to what was mentioned about not flashing ROMs meant for the international GS3, also note: In the "Original Development" threads where you will find ROMs like CM10, CM10.1, LiquidSmooth, and other AOSP ROMs, be sure to look for ones that say (d2spr) beside them. You will, occasionally, see one that may say (d2mtr) which is for Metro PCS and flashing it would likely give you a brick just like flashing one meant for the International GS3. When you go to a download page, like get.cm, for CyanogenMod, you'll notice they usually link to all variants of the same phone, so be sure to get one for the Sprint GS3, or which ever your carrier is.
Also, as mentioned above, do NOT flash any GS3 international ROMs/kernels/recoveries/mods.
Just picked up my Note 2 today - Sam's Club is selling this weekend for $198.99 and the $36 new phone charge is refunded. Sealed the deal for me.
Anyway, all of the great resources I found with regard to rooting are for Android 4.1.1, Build JRxxx. My phone is Android 4.1.2, build JZ054K. Could you please point me to the appropriate resources for rooting this device?
Thank you.

I use QBKing77's method. Got my phone a couple weeks ago. Came with 4.1.1. Did the OTA to 4.1.2 then rooted. Also sent donation to the creator of the Galaxy Note II toolbox. Works great. Try that, bud.

As a senior member, and a basic Internet user, I know how to use Google. The op isn't even on sprint. The one who complained that I didn't Google it for him says they have tmobile on their profile.

HTSRyan,
Thanks for the helpful reply. Just to be clear (since I was not in my original post): Your Samsung Note 2 is on the Sprint network and its build is more-or-less the same as mine, i.e., JZ054K?
p.s. It is my intent to send a donation once I am rooted...
Please help
First of all please accept my apologies if I am posting in the incorrect site location - this isn't the most user friendly site I've ever come across, but it is definately helpful to to get help from you friendly and helpful people!
I've just purchased a Galaxy Note 2 (N7105 Vodafone Australia). I've managed to unlock, root and install TWRP perfectly.
My problem is that I've tried three different custom roms in the last few days and none of them seem to work properly with the s pen. The three roms I've tried are Cyanogen, Android Revolution and Omega (in that order). All three of these roms seem great, until I take out the s pen....
The only one of these three roms that will even recognise when the pen touches the screen is Cyanogen (which is the only of the three roms that don't come with the samsung s pen apps). Both Android Revolution and Omega came with the s pen apps pre-installed, but don't seem to work with the s pen at all?? Am I doing something wrong? Are there s pen drivers or something that I need to install? Omega is currently installed and it does vibrate and make a noise when I remove the pen from the dock, but does nothing when the pen touches the screen.
Another thing to note before anyone tries installing these roms on this device is that, after installing Android Revolution or Omega, the phone has no reception and says sim isn't installed. I managed to correct this by installing the modem driver on top of the rom - this took me a day or two to figure out it was the issue and how to fix!
I know its a pretty new phone and therefore there aren't many tried and tested roms, but the three I've tried are pretty common so I was expecting more information about them online than what I've found. I'm by no means an XDA Developer, but have rooted and flashed a few phones and roms in my time. Any assistance or advice in relation to getting the s pen to function on Omega v13 with my N7105 would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Since there is not a consolidated thread/forum for people who bought the unlocked t-mobile note 3 and use it on the AT&T network, I will make one here. This is for people who have any complaints or praises of their phone.
How is the reception of your phone?
Any problem with rooting or custom rom?
How is the performance after rooting or with custom rom?
Any regrets on buying the phone?
Then it should be on the AT&T forum.... People using the T-Mobile model on AT&T will probably go there to check for help.

Actually I think it fits this forum more. I was trying to figure out which forum is best and I think the t-mobile is better because of the hardware. Later on more ROMs and modding of the device would affect it.
It be better if it stay in T-mobile because every thing else about this particular model is here. So i personally would like to not jump between two different sections. IMHO.
Aren't they the same model?

I am trying to find a Thread which had APN settings for various providers including ATT and Straight talk. But i cant find that thread. I wanted to at-least reference that thread in this one. To consolidate helpful information. For those of us who are using Tmobile N3 on ATT network. AHA... Found it!
[Guide] T-mobile Note 3 on AT&T's Network/Root info/LTE Confirmed
If we put an AT&T rom from the AT&T rom development forum, it may mess up the t-mobile phone since they have different frequency band. Therefore, it is best to use the t-mobile ROMs and report any bugs here in this thread.
Both being same devices except for radio bands, we will see most of the roms being cross compatible.
In any case if the phone is factory unlocked you can put any room designed for the 900t on it and use it with att.

what i meant was u can put a rom compatible with n900a( att version ) in N900T ( tmob) and vice verssa .. But i would wait till someone tests it out..
Yes rom* and what I said is what I meant but of course some 900a roms MAY work with it but simple comparison is like using a n9000 (unlocked international model regardless of rom) on T-Mobile. Easiest method is to use the 900t roms and enter the apn for att of course. Just to clarify.

I am an ATT Subscrber using a TMOBILE NOTE 3. The original NOTE I purchased I did the CF CHainfire Region unlock and it unlocked my SIM - but, I flashed a rom and did a Nadroid restore and borked my phone into constant bootloops - I picked up a second phone rooted it - and STUPID ME - tried flashing a second rom - this time I made the mistake of flashing an updated version of TWRP that ultimately BORKED MY PHONE AGAIN. ARGHH. I am not a noobie - I have been flashing roms for years and never had these issuses before.
I have my replacement NOTE 3 (I love TMOBILE customer service, though I don't think I can ever show up there again) and tis time I am being much more careful. I am rooted but I won't flash a custom recovery until I am certain things are more stable. Right now, too many phones are having issues - too many users in constant bootloops.
anyway - that is my experience so far. I love the NOTE 3 - Reception is Awesome - LTES speeds are just as good as they were on my ATT S4 - absolutely no complaints - EXCEPT I hate KNOX - which I think is the ultimate root of the problem so many people are having with Bootloops -
That's my story ..... happy to be here - and to be honest, for those that suggested we use ATT forum for this Thread - I think this belongs right where it is. We are using a TMOBILE PHONE - this thread belongs in the TMOBILE forum. Those are my two cents.

Weren't able to go back to recovery? Typically if you're stuck in a boot loop the phone is obviously still responding. I hope you didn't toss the og notes!

Well said. I vote to leave it here as well. I will be looking for roms on this site...I have rooted my unlocked T-Mobile Note 3. Flashed recovery thru goomanager, and...flashed Darthstalker rom version 2. No KNOX or carrier id...running very smooth and loving it very much. At the same time, I plan on being very careful after listening to all the trouble many have had with recovery. Hang in there Guys. We are just a few days into this big journey.
Too scared to do anything with mine, stock N900T.

I like every other person who was experiencing the Bootloops of death tried everything to get the phone working again - once it started I could not get past the bootloops regardless of what was tried - I ended up tyring to restore with ODIN but that didn't do any good - and once I had done that, I only had stock recovery - I could boot into Stock recovery - but couldn't do anything to get the phone to actually boot up. I have heard talk from others who said they think it was KNOX locking up the phone - others said it was patitions that were bad - I have no idea - but anyway - the only option I had was to return the phone. I am only grateful they gave me a new one. And no, I didnlt have any OG notes - not even sure what they are...? Go into the QA section and you can read all about the problems I and others have had - and it not just a few people - it is a pretty significant number...
You said you bricked the note I (og note as I was referring to) I was talking about that the whole time, not referencing the note 3 whatsoever...

Yo!
I am now a member of this party. Currently scouting this out on the xda.
Information still seems a bit conflicted at this point.
I too am too scared to do much to the phab at this point, and am concerned about getting ROMS. Like my LTE Verizon Tab 10.1, there may be very few of usin the group, and we will have limited options but hopefully like another post said, the T mobile ROMS should work, just add the APN. With the Verizon Tab, it had different issues from the wifi versions and ROMS were hard to come by.
Is our phone different, meaning it has more LTE bands than the ATT?
Could we get a zip file to overwrite the modem files in ATT ROMS if it is?
Any way to get the APN as an executble or zip? Just to make it easier than a mistype?
I am not a dev, and not a noob, but can be absolutely completely daft at times! I use my phone, and its not a disposable toy, but can have some toy nature to it. This might be a good place to exchange information, since we probably are gonne be a small group.
Can We discuss how the wi-fi calling works, and if it is possible to put that portion of the software into a custom rom like CM? Im not a developer but i would love to be a test monkey and do what i can. Im assuming the wi-fi feature is not an apk and is deeper than that ?
Wifi calling isn't brand new in the Note 3. And it's never, across all iterations, been ported to an AOSP rom. It's not going to happen. But, at least you made a thread in the development section asking for something obviously widely wanted to happen. Maybe this is the spark needed.

i have asked around and not been able to find a rom with it enabled.. and i dont understand why not. its a GREAT feature.. practically the only reason i went t-mobile.. im willign to dig in my phone and find what I need if someone will direct me. Im not completely technically illeterate but not a code writer either.
well.. i guess Jedi has it so that might be the best choice for now..
In the sensation and nexus 4 threads, we tried everything. Im guessing its still nearly impossible.

It's baked within the framework of the system. If you do a search you'll find threads here where people have worked on this and gotten almost nowhere. I believe there's also a bounty thread somewhere to get this to happen. I think that was in the nexus 4 area.

I read on the at&t note 1 that wifi calling is build into the framework.
The only way I was able to get wifi calling on the I717 is flashed a t mobile stock yo it
@ OP - I hear that. That would open a much needed can of worms. My guess is it has something to do with One or all three of the circled jar files. I am also no code writer but would also be willing to test this out.
Edit: "don't have permission to attach pictures" under /system/framework, the files I am referring to are...
TmoWfcUtils.jar
voip-commo.jar
telephony.jar
This is only a suggestive starting point if someone does take this on. I really don't know if it would be possible, as it may be patented by t mobile, and that could be why it hasn't been done already...?

lots of other phones have come with it and gotten no where, I'm actually really confident this will never happen without a change from T-mobile side.
and believe me..I desperately want it, I have to use wifi calling most of the day, would love some aosp rom fun too
trust me...if I could do this it would already been done...I am speaking for all of the devs also...
I use wifi calling, in the rare times I do TALK on my phone. Imagine that. Haha.
Anyways, I will probably run a similar setup on my GN3 when I receive it. On my GN2, I have been running stock deodexed, rooted, rom with NOVA Launcher. No complaints. Having the setup I really had no need to switch to anything else. I have, in the past, flashed many roms on previous phones, trying to find "the one" best rom.
I could probably do without wifi calling, but I use my s-pen all the time.
That is STRICTLY a TMO feature, and CAN NOT be implemented into ANY other rom other than the tmo official releases, if this could have been done, it would have been accomplished at least back to the G3 days....they still have not figured that one out yet.
