Question about bootloaders - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have been given the option of getting one of these but after having a look around the custom roms there seems to be an issue with some using a new bdownloader and some the old, a few don't even mention which they use nor does a norm seem to have been established. my question is simple, are there any good CM10.1, sense, or touchwiz roms I can just stick on a bootloader updated device and be done with it?

Only roms flashed with odins can update bootloader.
What you might be saying is either modem or kernel.

Nope definitely bootloader. What is the best option with regards to it?
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk 2

God there has been only 3 boot loader updates on note 2 as far as I know.
Bootloader has nothing to do with rom (except for exynos exploit)

There are bootloader files .tar that can be flashed via odin...it doesnt have to be a rom to change bootloader

Unlock rooted s3

Hi, I rooted my s3 with odin but I think that I only rooted it rather than unlocking the bootloader as well, how can I now unlock the bootloader so that I can try some custom Roms? Thanks

Did you install CWM or other recovery?
You could also try Mobile Odin from the market to install a custom ROM.

From the video that I watched it said that the clockworkmod was installed but I have no idea how to check this or to put it to use.
Thanks again

With phone off - hold down volume down+home+power buttons.
I would suggest you do lots of reading before flashing your first ROM.
This is a good thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426.

Hold that it has been installed, I found it in my app drawer. But what do I need to do with it?

Just to clarify, I used odin and CFROOT SGS3 V 6.4, so does this mean that I'm unlocked and ready to rock?

Yes you should be good. You could always post in the CF Root thread for assistance on that particular method.
You need to read before you brick your phone.

same way as exunose abuse, this also shouldn't work on latest ROM as newer ROM already have fixed xynose bug.
If you can root it with though then make sure you update your phone asap.

[Q]CRT off

Hi, everyone!
I was just wondering if there is a way that I can get CRT off animation for a stock rooted rom? I really want to keep stock because of the S-Pen features. Plus, the fact that risking a bad IMEI after flashing a custom rom makes me cringe.
I am with the stock Wind 4.1.2 T889v, rooted.

Its that effect that's in nexus devices. It's the one that makes it look like you just turned off your old school TV.

You'll need a few edits to services.jar and android.policy.jar, PLUS you need a kernel that supports it - on the stock kernel the effect is intermittent at best.
The man has spoken.

I don't understand why this isn't standard on AOSP and non AOSP ROMs alike. Is Samsung going out of its way to remove this?

Clockwork vs twrp

Hey so tell us what recovery you like and don't like and why?
I was using twrp but stopped because it screwed up my phone and was having problems flashing some Roms. I just don't think it does a clean wipe just works to fast..... So far clockwork cleans ,wipes more securely and have no problems flashing Roms...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I see this thread getting out of hand and going south quickly. I'm gonna request a mod step in and make a bold suggestion to people on how to keep it clean and not go south. Also make a poll for the thread, makes it look better and more official..
I prefer TWRP, I've been on it since I got the S III (May of '12). I test roms for 3 devs on this phone, and never had an issue. I used to use CWM on previous phones and never had issues there either. I just prefer TWRPs UI.

I should of posted this with the post I started...
The Rom that gave me problems with twrp was darthstalker but was able to flash with clockwork... Maybe it was something I did wrong.... Don't know.

As said all phone are not same so sometimes depends on your devices.

I've used both and like both, settled on twrp mainly because I find it a little easier to use. CWM looks nicer IMO. I dont' think you can go wrong with either.
I prefer TWRP but with the 4.2+ ROMs I flashed that have the 0 file I have to use CWM.
I'm sure there's something I can do to fix this but I've tried via Google search and have only has luck with CWM. So here I am.

I'm confused. Does cwm not give you the emulated /0 file structure?

Cwm now has a new touch screen have you tried it yet?

Yes. No clue what he's talking about.
I've not been able to find my recoveries in twrp whenever I flash an aosp ROM .
so I have to use cwm.

I have used both, they both seem to work perfectly. I just prefer cwm

I use twrp because you can name your back up files. That's probably the only reason I use it. It's UI is more friendly because of the buttons and I'm pretty sure you can theme it now, but I haven't tried that feature yet

Yes, that had happened to me multiple times as well, restoring of backups failing. For that reason I stick to CWM for now. Otherwise IMO TWRP is superior.

I do not backup and restore very often, but twice I have made a backup and restored because I was testing a ROM...but both backups failed and left me to clean flash my ROM again.

Question about the roms

What exactly is the reason that note 2 ROMs aren't compatible with all note 2? If you can flash modem/radios and edit apns then why won't any ROMs work?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
There is more than one "Note II" some of them have different hardware or are cmda instead of gsm ect. There are different sections for each version so if you go into the section for your specific phone all the roms should work. APN's/modems only go so far but they can enable you to use At&t(i317)/Canadian carrier(i317m) roms and in some cases International LTE (N7105) roms
Flashing a different modem/radio on your device! That isn't for your device, then you'll have yourself quite a bit of problems on your hands. That's why they are different Rom's, for different devices!! For all the other countries!!
But look here!
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Enter your device model# up in the top right. And you'll see all the different Rom's for the different places!!

But if I flashed a Verizon or sprint ROM and while still in recovery flashed my modem (the modem for my phone of course)shouldn't that allow service for the phone. Besides that stuff what is so different file wise that they aren't universal.
BTW I haven't checked the links out yet I will when I get off work.

Ok what you need to UNDERSTAND is that if you flash something that had the modem included! Then you'll be looking at a very expense paperweight:banghead:!!! If no modem then possible you can take that ride??? But personally I wouldn't flash nothing that's not for my phone OKAY!!!
But do as you please to do, it's your device.
Good luck with your choices
Just my 2¢®
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I don't understand why so many people insist on flashing roms not found in our very own development section. Those are there for a reason.

Think inside the RootBox!
gotcha.....I'm not trying to flashing anything that isn't for my phone I was just curious as to what the reason was that they aren't all compatible....thanks for the schooling lol

CPU architecture. ...modem frequency, framework difference, button function, APN, RIL, screen drivers, audio, wifi ,...
