[Q] flashing a rom newby question - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
wondered if anyone can help.
I have a note 2 the n7105 version, I'm in the UK, I'm a bit new to the rom thing and was testing out flashing some roms yesterday, but I kept getting errors, then I think I found the problem I was trying to flash n7100 roms.
Am I right I need a rom for the n7105 as others won't work? And if so can anyone suggest any cool ones, I wouldn't mind trying one with Android 4.2 base as I don't mind losing spen features, just to play with it

You can flash any rom from the AT&T Galaxy Note 2 section, just flash a N7105 kernel afterwards!

Flashing a ROM 4 a NOOB

Hi everyone!
Please be gentle as this is new for me for a phone, not new here on xda just spent time on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums, just new to the T mobile SG2. I just picked this excellent phone yesterday and have already rooted it. I have the tab 10.1 running task's ROM with perhoot's kernel and flashing ROM etc is pretty straight forward since it isn't with a carrier, just WiFi. I currently have Android 2.3.6 and want to flash a ROM, I am back and forth between Bombaridier V.3.5 and CyanogenMod 7 Self-Kang #2 Alphafied 2.3.7 or any other one that someone would recommend?
Since I have never owned an Android phone only the tab 10.1 I have some question and I did search but am still confused and dont want to screw up.
1. If I am on 2.3.6 can I flash one that says 2.3.7?
2. I am on t mobile, so the one I flash needs to be in the Android development on the T Mobile forum located here?
3 any other thing I need to do so I don't lose the base band of the phone (i guess that is what they call it) as my wife has an iPhone and I keep seeing instructions for preserving base band?
3. Anything I missed that I need to know about?
All I really really appreciate the help and guidance just want to get on a custom ROM as I love it on my tab 10.1, thanks again everyone!!!

Welcome!
1. You can flash from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 no problem.
2. Any ROM that is in this specific subforum will work. Do NOT flash anything for any other Galaxy S II, it may brick your phone.
3. Basebands are not included in roms, so you will not lose it, unless you flash a new modem.
Just remember to always perform a full wipe, I recommend the Darkside Super Wipe. You can backup your apps with Titanium Backup.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, just flashed with success. Appreciate the help.

Look into TDJ's superwipe in the rom section. I do that between flashes since it keeps things clean.
An example is that before it came out, i had 1.8 gigs used on my rom partition, and after using it and installing all the same apps with data(restoring with titanium) and having the phone rebuilt to the same state with another samsung based rom, it was only 1.1 used. Lots of junk gets left behind here and there.
You can also flash AT&T Skyrocket ROMs, Kernels, Radio Modems, Recoveries, and Odin's.

Help With ROM Choosing

Hi, I need some help choosing a ROM.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, SGH-I316M with 4.1.2.
The Baseband version is I317MVLBMA3, and the Kernal version is 3.0.31-861899.
This is originally a Rogers phone, and is unlocked and currently being used with Telus. Rooted as well.
I am looking for a 4.2.2 ROM that is as vanilla as possible. Stability is my main concern, I don't want any issues.
Ideas, suggestions. I have had issues with ROMs and my Baseband/kernal not working great, so that is an important detail.
Flash them all and see for yourself

Have you even looked in the development section? Besides just flash them and see which fits your needs. Or just do some reading in the OP of each rom

search for the one in my sig. Clean and stable.

[Q] n705 Rom Question

Hi, i searched everywhere in the AT&T section for a MIUI rom but only found a few which were stopped and had no new updates.
However i read somewhere on the forums here that you can use some n7105 roms in a i317 Note 2 Phone.
My question is, can i use the n7105 MIUI rom which was ported just 2 days ago?
If i cant, can someone point me in the right direction on using a newer version on MIUI on my Note 2 i317?
Thank you.
EDIT: I went ahead and installed the N7105 version but the phone wouldnt get past the XIOMI logo. I restored my phone back to the latest version found in the AT&T section 3.6.28.
Does anyone know how to get the n7105 version working? it was posted on the official MIUI forums 2 days ago and its the only version i have found that is n7105.
Or has anyone been able to install a newer version of MIUI? since it looks like the AT&T version has been discontinued.
The rom is fine ...but the kernel is likely putting you into a bootloop...
You may want to add another one in during the flash process that is compatible ...
I'd test neak kernel ....although not rated as compatible it may just work ...
And of course ...flash at your own risk ...and backup everything before hand ...g

Awesome, thanks for the reply.
Just to be sure, can i flash the kernel right after i flash the rom? or do i have to replace the boot.img inside the rom?
Edit: I tried flashing the neak kernel after the n7105 Rom but I got a black screen after the Samsung logo. I then tried other kernels (k.k.o, soa, and perseus) but they kept me in the miui logo. When I tried to change the boot.img manually into the zip I got a failed error when trying to flash the Rom.
If anyone can get a newer version of miui v5 to work on I317 note 2 please let me know how.
Thank You.
UPDATE: Anyone out there wanting to install the latest MIUI V5 into their Note 2 i317, i have found a way to do it.
For the past few days i have been on a hunt for a version that works with my phone and this is what i found.
Thanks to jing95916 who ported MIUI v5 to n7105, i went ahead and installed his latest port today a few people have problems with WIFI not turning on, but this is what i did.
After installing v 3.9.27 MIUI i let it boot, noticed wifi didnt work, but i remembered someone mentioning that it could be the kernel so i flashed SOA_4412_Kernel_06 found in the AT&T section under the MIUI 3.6.8 thread on post #1. Everything seems to be working perfectly so far, phone calls, SMS, wifi. Though there is one thing i noticed, on that when you flip screens it leaves behind a trail right on the Dock, it goes away when you switch to settings but comes back unless you have a transition effect that doesnt overlap the dock like the crossfade one. Other than that everything else seems to be working fine. I will continue to test the rom and see if i can find any other problems, but for now im very happy thnx to jing95916 port!

Kernel flash after the rom is fine ..
But with your boot loops ...I'm wondering if you are wiping correctly ??
And verify that your files are compatible with the device ...g

The problem i had was a different version, the one ported by jing95916 works perfectly in my i317 note 2 even though his port is for n7105. So everything is all good now, pretty happy to be using the latest MIUI rom.

[Q] Can i flash an at&t rom on a n7105

Hi,
Ive looked into flashing an AT&T rom on my Canadian n7105 LTE Note 2. I searched the forum and some people said they have flashed it no problem. Other roms only say for n7100 only...
I am positive on my old note2 i flashed an AT&T rom. Ended up dropping and breaking the phone so i bought a new one. I don't require to have LTE but i do need 3G data connection.
Can i Flash a MI6 ROM like Hurricane Rom on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467910
Thanks
That rom is for the n7100 if you flash it you will lose phone and data and be left with just a tablet. Afaik there are no stock based 4.3 roms for the n7105. Some of the American roms work on the n7105, there is a list somewhere

[Q] T889 Latest Rom : Need Advise

hello guys, need help.
I have tmo note 2 and need advise on the best available ROM. I spent some time searching but couldn't make up my mind
Requirements are latest android (4.3 or higher) stable, fast, all working including wifi calling, mhl tv out , gps , wifi etc
any advise would be appreciated!!
forgot to add, need s pen working as well
S.W.A.R.M Rom is probably the latest T-Mobile Custom Rom. Im not sure if the Downloads are still available.
But...if you dont really need WiFi calling then you can try the Rom I released... its called Test Rom 1.2 nothing to fancy but its stable Test Rom 1.2 Link
Or you can flash DN3 found in the AT&T Development Thread.. or DN4 in the N7105 Development Thread (not to be confused with the N7100)
I'm using alliance rom,it's stable and it does have a lot of user options, i have tmo t889 and it's running really nice. Here is the link. Good luck.
