[Q] MC2 Kernel update - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have a rooted SPH-L900 stock rom,TWRP recovery. The Build # ends in AMA7, the Baseband ends in
MC2. I ran an update that I found on the forum here which updated the modem only (it said) but I can't locate a flashable update zip for the kernel. Can someone please post a link or tell me where I can get this update?

Have you thought of using a custom kernel?

No, I have not. I would like to flash the stock MC2 kernel to bring my phone up to date. I have tried flashing what was reported to be the stock kernel and it did nothing. Still running AMA7.
Can anyone help out here? Pleeez?

I had same issue you are having. Finally I just did the stock odexed rooted rom with mc2. It worked perfectly. If you need link let me know. It doesn't update the kernel but I think the current kernel is up to date. If not it's easy to get a zip file.

It is? I have tried flashing the zip file posted to update JUST the kernel since I already flashed the modem and I am still on the AMA7 kernel. Where is the MC2 kernel zip?

I think what you mean is the build. The modem shows mc2 but your build is ma7. The kernel does not have mc2 or ma7 in it. You'll need to do the full rom update which will still keep your data and since your modem and kernel are up to date you'll be all set.Did it last night and it worked perfectly. Just in case, post a screenshot of your about screen.

X-Note 9.0 for 900T

OK guys, There is no way I am the only one with a 900T itching to get my hands on KK and X-Note 9.0. I am very new to the whole rooting android devices but I am quickly learning the ropes. I have been reading many posts were where this is available to the 9005 versions. I also know that the 900T and 9005 are almost the same phone with 900T being locked (temporarily) to TMobile. I have been searching the threads for the past week looking for the answer if anyone with a 900T has been able to install the Official Poland Version 4.4.2 on their 900T. As some help I have been emailing someone else with a T-Mobile phone that helps to specialize in hard bricked devices. I am including the emails and I hope to get this thread moving forward. If it is not possible I would like to see if there is a way to work the system to get us the X-note 9.0 upgrade.

Side note: What I am going to attempt is to install the Poland version of kk to my phone. It is for the 9005 model (which the tmobile device is). Tmobile phones can run 9005 roms with a few updates, but I am not sure about the kk upgrade.

Have you already flashed stock 9005 Rom ? included bootloader of 9005 model ?

Please do not flash another bootloader phone's model. it will hardbrick or IMEI number will be gone.
Until we get an official Kernel for 4.4.2 for Tmobile we wont be able to install it. I even tried it last night since I've used previous X-note editions in the past. Hopefully in a couple more weeks we'll have a kernel.

A few questions since I have spent a lot of time digging here in the threads.
1. Did you install the Official Poland 4.4.2 KK update?
2. Did you install the latest compulsion Kernel?

I didn't. If I remember correctly Odin wouldn't let me install the bootloader

Not to question your methods as I have not attempted yet. Did you have the correct boxes checked including the install bootloader? Also did you have your device is usb debug mode? Or is it impossible to flash another regions bootloader?

None of the 9005 roms will run on the N900T without a official KK kernel made for our device, I have done all the research, and it has the same issues that I went thru with Vision.

Axeman, Thank you very much for commenting on this post. I have seen your information alot dieingmy research. I have been attempting to gain traction on this topic. I do have a few questions.
1: is it possible to flash the official Poland KitKat version?
2: if it is possible, what are the risks that we are looking at?
I can see the problem with not having a custom kernel. Here is a link to one that I found earlier today.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5027195
I also saw a thread today where the Canadian version is now able to upgrade to Kit Kat and flash x-note 9.0
Thank you again for your input.

There is a link in the q&a forum for xnote. This gives specific instructions for getting it to work on tmobile versions of the note 3. I tried on 4.3 and was successful and also on 4.4.2 successful as well. im aroma I just selected the uk version to flash. you probably already know this but I thought id post this for future reference for other members. this rom is real stable and has not gave me any issues whatsoever from version 11 to 13
I'm on V12 and I LOVE THIS ROM

The only thing I flashed through odin was the 4.4.2 bootloader for tmobile
Everything else was done through recovery
Tmobile version xnote 13
Civ version 2.1 kernel for tmobile note 3
And nfc wifi fix
I do recall reding along the threads somewhere that if you flash a non tmobile bootloader through odin you will end up with a fancy paper weight.

[Q] Returned Note II User--> Bootloader/Rom Questions

Hey guys,
I'm back on the note II with AT&T.
I am currently on the MH3 build with Android 4.1.2 and was wondering if it is smart to take an OTA update for 4.3. I did a few searches regarding the boot loader (I heard its locked now? what?!?)
Additionally, I would like to root my phone and install a custom rom. I see that CleanRom is no longer supported and was wondering if anyone has stepped up to the plate to provide something of a similar caliber? (I want to install ad block and greenify)
The features I am looking for in a rom:
1. Stability <--- need it to be safe for work.
2. Removed AT&T apps/debloated
3. Battery Life
4. Speed
Some recommendations and advice would be greatly appreciate!

Recommendations, are mostly just personal opinions. And of course every one has one. It always comes down to what makes you happy.
You're going to have to find the one that trips your trigger. So I'll just make suggestions .......
First off no need to go to OTA.
Just flash this 4.3 bin and img file below to use 4.3 ROMs
Keep your knox free 4.1.2 bootloader. Allowing you to freely flash between 4.1.2 roms and the latest 4.3 stuff
Keeping Wifi Throughout and removing Knox
4.3 Param.bin and Tz.img (ODIN flash not custom recovery)

What about flashing a 4.4 ROM?
I have also just returned to a Note 2 today! I am on the 4.1.2 and MH3 Build as well; It is brand new I just took it out of the box and I am ready to root/twrp/flash the crap out of it. Is there any way to flash any 4.4.x ROM? Should I take the 4.3 update (I could care less about voiding warranties)? Thanks in advance.

That way you can still downgrade running the leaked MJ4 bootloader...
Hold off doing the 4.3 OTA until we see if it's mandatory to be on it whenever they get off their a$$es and push 4.4 out.

So after some debating/ton-a-reading I decided to root/twrp/flash the 4.3 Param.bin and Tz with Odin and went with the crew providing the IOKP ROM (4.3.1). I love the ROM but the nerd/little kid in me wants to know what happens if I flash a 4.4.x ROM; I will update if I try it.
Am I right in assuming that any 4.4.x ROM's out there for our Note 2 right now is working off a 4.3.x bootloader and that 4.4 is a dream for the Note 2 that will never happen (officially)? On top of that there will be that whole KNOX garbage...

You are correct. 4.3 bootloader whether it's the leaked 4.3 MJ4 or the OTA 4.3 MK6. MK6 is the locked bootloader that you cannot overwrite.
4.4 is allegedly in the works.... Been plastered all over the tech news sites. Supposedly March or April.. We're on the a$$ end of March .... So what are the odds.
Woo Hoo !!!! The Beast !

Not like bootloader. Bootloader is the sboot.bin file... If you try to ODIN that after the 4.3 update the flash will fail...
tz.img = ARM Trust Zone - http://www.arm.com/products/processo.../trustzone.php
param.bin = kernel load parameters, plus some JPEG's required in the boot stage.

Sorry about that. I checked the first page then went straight to Google.
I flashed the modem but no APNs or networks are showing up. My baseband also says unknown.
I believe I have to flash this /firmwares/3/?download=22863 (domain is sammobile)
Do I need to use Odin or can I just flash it in TWRP? Will I need to reinstall my ROM after that?
Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks.

Did you download the correct version of carbon?
I'm using DN3 from AT&T forum and working fine and still on 4.1.2 bootloader (with agni kernel).
If you download that from sammobile, you will be on 4.3 bootloader... and there is no going back to 4.1.2. The only reason for 4.3 is wifi working without using wifi fix or different kernel. I'll be on 4.1.2 until I have to change.
This is OP. Got my account back.
I flashed the modem (is that all you're supposed to do? No wiping any thing) and had the same issues. My IMEI is also gone.
Restored back to a previous backup and now have my IMEI, baseband, and everything working.
I re downloaded the 7/04 carbon nightly with the most recent KK gapps and I'm having the same issues.

Modems are specific to device and you should never flash a modem meant for any other devices. MK7 is the most up to date modem for SGH-T889.
For now flashing MK7 modem should bring back your IMEI.

This is OP. Got my account back.
I flashed the modem (is that all you're supposed to do? No wiping any thing) and had the same issues. My IMEI is also gone.
Restored back to a previous backup and now have my IMEI, baseband, and everything working.
I re downloaded the 7/04 carbon nightly with the most recent KK gapps and I'm having the same issues.

Make certain you are on the most current recovery be it CWM or TWRP or variants thereof. Also make certain you are flashing the version appropriate for your model. N7105 (Note 2 Int'l) or I317 (AT&T) would be OK for a T889 if a T889 version is not available.
Updating TWRP fixed it. Thanks, I had no idea that could cause problems.

You're welcome. It stinks being stuck with something like that.
This is a Tmo modem http://www.mediafire.com/?5hrw5zr7hh4mnmt
That I am using on a t889 running 4.4.2 touch whiz rom based on the international version
I have service as well as data.
Again this is running on a touch whiz rom use at your own risk .

Did you download the correct version of carbon?
I'm using DN3 from AT&T forum and working fine and still on 4.1.2 bootloader (with agni kernel).
If you download that from sammobile, you will be on 4.3 bootloader... and there is no going back to 4.1.2. The only reason for 4.3 is wifi working without using wifi fix or different kernel. I'll be on 4.1.2 until I have to change.

how do you check bootloader version ?? I flashed the 4.3 from sammobile did that upgrade the bootloader too ?

Download phone info from playstore... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
If you flashed the stock 4.3 from sammobile in Odin, then you will be on 4.3 bootloader.

Guess I've been out of the loop. I'm running the previous 4.4.4; can this just be installed in recovery or does this bring in a new bootloader? Have you seen any differences with the new modem?
Thanks for helping keep the development rolling with the S4!

If you want the new bootloader and all that flash the full firmware, I have it posted in my firmware thread in general.
Just flash via twrp/cwr/Philz
Dunno. I no longer have the device. Upgraded to the s5 and gave my 4 to my mom
I have a sprint s4. I unlocked it domestically using tutorials available in XDA and I'm using my phone on Tmobile now. Is it possible to flash this ROM to get WiFi calling?

Do we flash the modem file in Odin?
How about the kernel? in TWRP?
So what should be the order.
Flash modem in odin,
then full rom in TWRP then lastly the kernel?
thanks in advance.

Thanks for your fast reply. I'm having a difficult time getting this to work.
I did the modem, before i even did anything else and verified that the baseband said nk2.
Then i tried installing the rom, and then immediately installing the kernal, then booting into system.
It all seems to work but i can't seem to get wifi to turn on. So i tried wiping all again, and booting into system and same thing.
Any suggestions? I'm trying to flash the system again without the kernel and will see if it works. Can you help explain what the kernel does?
thanks shinyside

Shouldn't have an issue, least none of the 60 download and runners, have said anything or reported any issues.
What bootloader and such are you on?
Just set to permissive, or should be haha, I don't have my s4 anymore to check. Should say permissive in Settings. Stock kernel is set to enforcing which is a "security" thing that blocks stuff like a lot of root apps or xposed/xposed modules from working properly. It's the stock kernel, just the ramdisk is edited to be permissive.

Can't seem to get it to work. So i just restored a old backup i had of your stock NH7 rom and wifi works in there.... so i then proceded to try to flash the new rom over the NH7 version but after it all booted up, wifi not working again
For me at least seems that wifi not working in Nk2
Modem using Odin. There is instruction written for nh7. Exact procedure should be used. Reboot to make sure you have the new modem. Then flash rom immediately flash the permissive kennel. If you want you can also flash supersu 2.40 then reboot

Flash a different kernel. WiFi will work. Check sickness mod v5. It has few kernels you can use

Hey if you still want the flashlight send me the secsettings and systemui apks. I already deleted the zip off my pc
What are the major differences between NH7 / NK2?
Thanks for your continued support and efforts with the Galaxy S4 development.
My question is this, if I may . . .
What are the major differences between NH7 / NK2?
Was there some new service that Samsung rolled out?
In what way is NK2 better than NH7 ?

From what I know using both: modem (baseband) and additional support languages.
From what I have experienced, lte reception is a tat better.
I would just flash the modem unless you like stock.

Stock is always nice, but I was thinking that there was a new service that was an addition to what was previously released.
Thinking that there was a cross over to Lollipop with a touch-wiz enhancement.
Some new security level or even a Samsung service with data like you mentioned enhancement with LTE. . .
Even though it is Stock, I sure would like to know what was different about this release and why is Samsung pushing this release out.
Hopefully it wont be long before other developers pick this puppy up and tweak the heck of the property build and include the 4 way reboot and such . ...
Stock is always sweet :good:

You'd have use the settings, framework, system ui, mms, contacts, phone, and all to use the systemui and settings from HispAsian. I modded and themed the living hell out of that rom, and you'd have some major text issues and other ui issues, using its systemui and settings in this base among other issues probably. Have to use the ones from the base and just mod it in

[5.1.1/OF7/OFE] Mostly Stock Kernel - with root! (7/14/15)

Here it is! Root for 5.1.1 thanks to @djvoleur! I helped a little but he did most of the work. Thanks also goes to @g.lewarne for his work on Unikernel as a couple of their ramdisk commits were needed to get this going.
This will trip KNOX. It will. Trip. KNOX. IF YOU HAVE NOT TRIPPED KNOX YET - THIS WILL TRIP IT. ALSO - you CANNOT downgrade after you take the OTA so be sure you want it.
I hope that's clear enough?
Instructions:
After you've booted into OF7 or OFE, go to Settings > About device and tap Build number 7 times to enable Developer Mode.
Go back and select Developer options and turn on OEM unlocking
Reboot in to download mode (Power + Home + Volume Down)
Use ODIN to flash boot-of7root.tar
After your phone boots you will now have root! You may also be back on stock recovery, which is fine since we don't have a working one for 5.1.1 just yet
You'll notice constant messages about security issues because of KNOX and the kernel being permissive. To get rid of these, open Titanium Backup (or your personal favorite app freezing app) and freeze SecurityLogAgent.
Download
OF7: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347768984
OFE: http://1drv.ms/1LeDH1z
If you have any questions, post in this thread and @djvoleur and I will be watching. And if you'd like to send any trucks full of money, I'm sure we can arrange that via PM.
ENJOY!
@g.lewarne is the unikernel dev. Glad you guys figured it out, he's been camping and not really able to download anything so grabbing your kernel source was pretty tough.

Yes, this is root for the OF7 update. Best way to update right now since we still don't have a stock tarball for OF7 yet is flash back to stock OE2, update, and flash this kernel for root.
