Official CyanogenMod support

Just to let everyone know, the Note 2 LTE (including T-Mobile) will be getting official CyanogenMod 10.1 builds!
Here's the link where the builds will be available: http://get.cm/?device=t0lte
And here's the thread in AT&T forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105917

Nice! Thanks for the heads up dude.

This solidifies my belief that the Note 2 is undoubtedly the best phone in the world.

Wow just flashed this and my phone will not boot at all. FML...
Fixed. :thumbup:

The only reason I've ever used CyanogenMod on my previous device was because of software issues. To date, I can see no reason for even a custom ROM on my Note II let alone a beta ROM.

AFTER flashing?

Downloaded and tried to flash via CW three different times and installation aborted each time. I wiped data davlik and cache so I have no clue wtf is wrong but I need that 4.2!!!

I really didn't mean for this thread to become a support thread. If you guys are having problems flashing or booting, you didn't follow the instructions. Re-read all the information and try again following the instructions exactly.

Been rooting and flashing since the G1 and never had installation abort in the middke of a flash but once. I read the directions and did exactly as posted four times now. Idk what the issue is. I am currently on Jedi X rom. Maybe I should flash stock then retry it?

You don't need cwm I flashed perfectly fine with twrp and have no problems at all haven't tried Bluetooth since I don't use it but it States that it's a bug anyway.
Fandroid93 download goomanager and you can install the latest twrp from there. Or download rommanager and should be able to get cwm from there.

What version phone do you have? Some Canadian versions require the updater script to be modified to remove the version checks, everything flashes fine after that and works as normal but they forgot to add the version numbers in the check.

[TUTORIAL] How To Root the Sprint Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710)

I was recently asked to post some threads here on XDA with the tutorials I have on my site. As time permits I will be posting a series of threads here to the Q&A section that will hopefully answer most questions that might come up.
If you can't find your answer in one of my threads I would highly recommend BluesRulez One Stop FAQ Thread. It is an awesome resource and has answers to just about every question I've seen come up!
__________________
This thread details the process of how to root your device without having to flash a full stock ROM. This method works for the Sprint, Boost and Virgin Samsung Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710, SPH-D710BST and SPH-D710VMUB).
This method uses an Odin One-Click Kernel to install a kernel that includes a Custom Recovery. Once booted into the Custom Recovery you can then flash Superuser which will root your phone and give you Superuser access.
Prerequisites:
A PC running Windows with the Samsung Mobile Drivers Installed. The Samsung Mobile Drivers are available here.
Any One-Click Kernel (preferably from the Android version you will be using, i.e. GB, ICS or JB).
All Sprint One-Click Recovery kernels can be found here.
For this particular tutorial I used the following kernels:
Gingerbread: Chris41g's EL26 Stock CWM5 Repack
Ice Cream Sandwich: Agat63's tFI27 Stock Recovery Repack (rev 2)
Jelly Bean: Agat63's Source-Built GB27 Recovery​
Superuser (or SuperSU, MIUI Security, and etc) in a flashable zip, saved on your Internal or External SD Card.  For this method I used SuperSU v1.25 (but any SU in a flashable ZIP should work). You can download several different versions here.
Although not required it is recommended that you have Samsung Kies installed on your PC as well. You can download Samsung Kies here.
Side-Effects:
This method will trigger the Yellow Triangle upon start-up and will increase your Odin count.
It will also change your startup screen to look like the International GS2 startup screen.
Both of these side-effects are very easy to overcome due to the hard work of Chainfire and Garwynn. You can get TriangleAway from Chainfire's thread here.
For the rest of the tutorial please visit my site: www.rwilco12.com
Enjoy!

First..well 2nd to you!! Awesome work RW ..your time and dedication is GREATLY appreciated my friend!

Will any of these methods work with FL24? I'm new to rooting Samsungs and am used to simply rooting via exploits through ADB. I have the phone rooted (temp rooted?) via the exploit in Framaroot and am trying to get a custom recovery installed next to flash a ROM. Thanks!

The Kernel One-Click flashes the kernel and recovery together. They are combined on the E4GT.

You might have to turn SU on depending on which version you flashed. Open the app and see if under settings you see something like "Enable SuperUser" and make sure it's enabled.
If that doesn't fix it we may need to try another zip with a different set of symlinks. Either way, we're here for you and will get you squared away.

If you're asking - Can I flash VM builds on the Sprint D710, the answer is - yes. Did it when I tested the builds and everything worked properly.
If you're asking - Can I flash a VM build and be on VM service? Obviously you'll need to be activated to their service and provisioned properly. That's when you'd need to make sure that mmsc/apn/nv data is captured. I don't know if VM is a byod provider. (write that shiz down)

Yes. Many, many people have used this method successfully.
There's nothing wrong with a stock kernel, it just doesn't have a custom recovery packed into it or any kernel tweaks.
But I am confused... If you're already rooted why are you pulling your hair out?

K. Before you dive in too much further I would recommend doing a little more research. This device had had issues in the past that have made it very easy to brick. You should be very careful.
As a side note - This thread is a how to root thread but it sounds like you're already rooted. I don't know that there's any reason to reroot your device. You don't actually have to be rooted to get on JB either. You could just flash a one-click of a JB ROM.

[Q] S3 i747M ROOT QUESTIONS

I own a i747M Galaxy S3 on the Rogers network, and I'm interested in rooting my device to install CM 10.1 ROM. I would like to clear up my questions and concerns fully before attempting something that if preformed wrong, could damage - or fully brick - my device.
A few of my XDA resources:
SIII ROOT/ROMs/TOOLS
Noobs Guide to Root, Flash, and More
Stock ROM Firmware
Questions &/or Concerns:
In regards to the Firmware downloads: Which download do I choose under the Rogers section in order to get the complete factory image of the Rogers S3?
Is it worth it to do the CWM method that avoids triggering the Flash Counter?
More questions will likely come as I remember.

From one of your links to install rogers firmware pre rooted, you want this firmware which was the first from Rogers section http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23017610006234402
Here is where you can download the 4.1.2 rogers stock un-rooted firmware. The first one labeled RWC is for Rogers Wireless. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747M

No, that's just for getting back to stock. In your first link S3 root rom.... you have a forum that had. ' no tripping flash counter'. This is stock firmware with root injected already. If you flash that with odin, you will have root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

Oh, thanks. Should I just use the Samsung link for the stock ROM? In my link it has like 3 different files under the Rogers section. Is that root a good one? I am not sure if there are different roots.
Is flashing a rooted file with oden the best way to root?

The absolutely simplest way for you to get root is to flash this in odin.
http://download.chainfire.eu/269/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2can-d2vl-sghi747m.zip
It will give you root access without reinstalling the whole rom. If you want instruction on how to use this file, here is the source link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963790.
After installing this you can download Rom Manager from the play store to install CWM
At this stage don't worry about your flash counter. You can reset it to 0 later.

AT&T GS3 memory problem
I hope I'm putting this in the correct forum on this website. If not will someone guide me to the right place?
After rooting my AT&T GS3 and loading lots of apps and doing backups, I noticed it was running out memory. When viewing the Storage and available space on the phone it indicated the bulk of memory was taken up by "Miscellaneous files". I connected the phone to my computer and with Windows Explorer navigated to my phone. Once there I saw, as I suspected, it appeared the problem with my phone's internal memory being almost all used up was because I had done way too many backups, some with the phone's backup and some with other apps with backup capabilities. Figuring I could take care of that easily enough, I used my computer's Eraser program I erased several of the older backups. After disconnecting the phone, rebooting, etc. I went into the phone's Settings & Storage to see how the memory then looked. The phone shows that I now have Available space of 8.43 GB, because the Miscellaneous files space went down from about 11GB to 2.03GB. Here's my problem... even though the phone Storage indicates I have all kinds of available memory, I get errors when existing apps try to download updates to apps and some new apps telling me there is not enough memory available. Short of restoring the phone to pre-rooting and then having to reload all my apps and re-root, is there a way (using CWM or other) to get the phone to re-recognize the available memory? If someone could give me a link to where to answer is I would be very grateful

If you have successfully installed CWM, try wiping cache, and then wipe dalvic cache. Dalvic cache is in the 'advanced' section under wipe menu. This will force android to reload all the app memory and may fix your issue.

If I want to root in order to run custom ROMs such as CM, should not use auto root?

All root is created equal. You can use auto root for any rom. Stock or CM10. If you use the auto roor method that I suggested you will not have issues.

Thanks BCSC for the assistance. I did a wipe on both caches, but after re-boot the phone still gave me memory errors when apps tried to update. But that's OK, because I installed another backup from my external SD card (1 of 4) and it looks like the memory problem went away. I was going to go through a re-install of each of backups to see if I happened to have made a rooted one before the memory filled up. I got lucky because the first backup on the list did the trick. :good:

As for installing CWM through ROM manager: it prompts me to select my device and the only S3 there is MetroPCS.

Your othe option would be to use mobile odin from the play store, rename the .img to recovery.img and place in root of internal storage. then choose and flash with mobile odin.

That's true, but when wanting to switch from a stock non rooted rom to a custom rom, it makes it a lot easier and faster if I can simply get CWM and flash a rom instead of having to root the stock rom and then having to go through that process.

Good point. The last few times i have gone from stock to custom, i have used odin to flash a rooted stock. then I move forward from there since cwm .tars have been hard to find. I should have read your post more closely.

[Q] How can I use Multiboot? MultiRom?

I saw on a thread that someone was using "Multiboot" to run CM11 as their daily driver but also having TW on it to use for WiFi calling and such.... I want to ask:
Was this a fib?
If not then how can I do it?
Is there a guide I can look at?
If it is possible then I would like to run CM11 and TW 4.1.2, I already have the images and ODIN for that. I never updated to 4.3 so I don't think that is a problem?
If you have help please quote my post so I can get a handy email of the response ^-^
Thanks

Get the AT&T version 2.12 - it has a fix in it for the External SD card that appeared in 2.11. While it's an AT&T recovery, it'll work fine on our phones as the TMO and AT&T S3 are the same phones.
Once you have the file, flash it via CWM and you'll have a MultiBoot TWRP as your recovery. The thread for the MultiBoot Recovery has a couple of Youtube videos that walk through setting up additional ROMs. I'm currently using z999 (Odexed 4.1.2 TW ROM) as my backup ROM to use for Wi-Fi calling.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you, I'll try this tonight. I searched multiboot online but didn't find anything and Tapatalk doesn't have a good search function :/

I have a question. This external SD Care problem, what was it? Was it an issue with the card getting unmounted? Or was it another issue?

For some reason, on the 2.11 version, I couldn't get the secondary ROM to see my external SD card. I backup all of my apps there - it was a pain to copy my backups to the internal SD card. There were a lot of comments about the issue on the AT&T forum and the developer put out a new version (2.12). However, he never put out a version for d2tmo - only d2att. So, I messed around with the install script and loaded the newer recovery on my phone. External SD problem solved.

Okay so I am researching how to do it and I believe I understand BUT the T-mobile TW file I have has to be flashed through ODIN, it's not a zip, and I want CM to be my stock ROM. So I was searching for a 4.1.2 TW rom (I prefer that version) and couldn't find any zip files...
Do you know how to help me? Do you know where to find a stock .zip flashable through recovery?

I followed all the instructions to use multiboot and I got the z999 touchwiz rom on there but then it wouldn't "find" my CM rom that was already on there so I ended up formatting and having no OS, so I tried to sideload but the multiboot stuff messed it up so I'm using ODIN to go back to stock >.> this has failed miserably.

The multi boot recovery won't "find" your CM ROM - it will always be the "internal" ROM. Multi boot will only show secondary ROMs in the multi boot menu. Anytime you want to boot CM, just boot the internal ROM.
Give me some time and I'll do a video on how to set up multiple ROMs.

Thank you! I'm gonna try it again today and see how it goes. Maybe I got confused because when I rebooted the phone it booted TW no matter what and I couldn't get it to boot into CM...there was no option to boot internal or whatever...

@Bass_Man25 I finally got it working!
I couldn't install it on the internal storage directory. So I ADB pushed the files to the /tmp folder and installed it off that and I finally have it working!

You're so nice thank you so much I will use that video because I hardly know what I'm doing still but I got it working somehow xD
Many thanks!
Edit:
Wow your video explained everything, it is much clearer now!

@Bass_Man25
Would it be possible for me to use a 4.3+ ROM using multiboot? I have the old boot loader or whatever that came with 4.1.2 along with those modems etc.
If it's possible to run a 4.4.4 aosp ROM on the old boot loader how come you can't run newer versions of TW? If there is a ROM I can use along 4.1.2 that'd be nice.

TW roms have Knox.

To be honest, I don't know. From what I've read, some of the 4.3 ROMS don't play nicely with MultiBoot. I haven't given it a try yet. If you're willing to give it try, please let me know what you find. The good new is, if you try it as a secondary ROM and it doesn't work, you can just delete it.
