After some really confusing and hard time searching through the forums and found little consolidated answers, I decided to write this FAQ to help those like me who are having doubts about the latest Galaxy Note II GT-N7105 model.
Q: How can I root my N7105 the safe way?
A:
1) Using Auto-Root by Chainfire. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683)
2) Using PC Odin or Mobile Odin with Chenglu’s cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901196)
In 2), although the file is named for N7100, but it works for N7105 as well. I have tested it personally with Mobile Odin and it works flawlessly.
Q: Will rooting N7105 with method 1) and 2) loses 4G LTE connectivity?
A: No, it works fine.
Q: I want multi-windows but my N7105 doesn’t come with it.
A: You need to upgrade to N7105ZHALJ4 to get have multi-windows.
Q: Where to get Stock ROM, say N7105ZHALJ4 ?
A: I wrote a blog entry on that, please read it: http://lockyep.blogspot.hk/2012/11/technology-extended-advanced-samsung.html
For the fullest list of Stock ROMs, go to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7105
Q: I want multi-windows with unlimited apps. How can I get that?
A: You need a deodex ROM plus a Mod.
Q: If I want deodex ROMs and that Mod, what are my options?
A: Currently with deadman12’s N7105XXDLK7 deodexed Rom V1.1 [4.1.2][Aroma][Rooted] , it does the deodexing and the Mod for you. teshxx's [4.1.2] N7105XXDLK7 || Odexed & DeOdexed, Rooted, Busybox, and also EmptyArea’s N7105XXXALIJ EmptyStock . For pure Mod, there is Modded N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow Control
Q: Can I not flash so many ZIP files but still get the same result?
A: Yes, it's your lucky day! But you'll need to do something by yourself. First, download jcspecs' [UTILITY] Clockwork Combiner - Combine flashable zips. {Version 1.5} Then download the files mentioned in the above questions, then you can combine the ZIP files into just one single file!! Then you can flash it.
Q: Where can I get the N7105 kernels?
A: AndreiLux has the Perseus and stock LJ1, LIJ kernels on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852. For LJ4 stock kernel, use Pyr0x64’s Dropbox URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/67559790/LJ4kernel.tar
Q: I have other less advanced questions, such as the missing radio, unable to run Flash on some websites, faster battery drain than GT-N7100, where can I find the answers?
A: You can read another blog entry of mine, titled Technology: Galaxy Note II Q & A -- Part 1
[FAQ Will be updated as my knowledge on GT-N7105 gains.]

My note 2 n7105 did not recognize sim cards anymore after flashing CWM for n7100 (with the toolkit as recommended in many posts and blogs). Recreated the issue twice.

I used the version included with the toolkit 2.0. I guess its CWM Recovery V6.0.1.5 if I can trust the changelog.

Have you tried unplugging the sim card , reboot , shutdown , plug sim card again and reboot ?

Of course. I am kind of experienced with flashing and ROMs and so on, played with my I9000 for 2 years now.
I also had 2 sim cards to test - one original micro sim, one "cutted" micro sim. Both didn't work. Deleted cache, dalvik cache, did factory reset. After i flashes stock then, it recognized the sim cards.

Great thread, thanks for starting this...

Strange, today I rooted another phone, it's alright. What ROMs are/ were you on?

Phone 1: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 (4G) with Stock N7105XXALIJ + CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-gtn7105
Thx for your work. TW recovery 2.3.1.3 did the trick !

Is yours a locked phone ? Cuz locked phones can do weird stuff. From your firmware , I'm guessing it is not bought in Hong Kong

FAQ has been updated today. More questions added.

Doesnt the rom [ROM][GT-N7105]N7105ZHALJ4 deodexed Rom V1.1 [Rooted][19 Nov] already include the multi window with unlimited apps mod? You make it seem like you need legends mod too.

You are so right! I just upgraded the v1.0 to v1.1 without reading the changes for that ROM.
Thanks!

My mobilephonecontract does not allow me to use LTE (didnt want it), but they only had the LTE version for me. So i can use HSPA+.
So is it possible to flash a n7100 rom, and only lose the possibility to use LTE and HSPA+ ?
cause in the end it was a failure to buy the n7105, cause the LTE network coverage is to low in my region. And the n7105 has far to less options to get modded.
So my question is: Is it possible to flash a n7100 rom, or can this damage my phone ?

I don't have the exact answer. I dare not try it. Theoretically speaking , flashing shouldn't be a problem but getting everything to work , I doubt it. The 4G chip needs 4G kernel and driver. I guess you will simply lose the data connection.
But if you can get hold of a flashable 4G kernel , maybe it might work. Then again, why so you even want to try flashing n7100 rom ? There are deodex roms for N7105 already.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Cause there is much more variety of Roms for the n7100, espacially CM10 Roms.
But maybe i just have to wait a Bit longer for more Roms.
Thx for ur answer
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

The N7105 uses a Qualcomm chip to control the modem. I believe if you flash a 7100 ROM you will stuff your radio as it has a different chip.

Thanks for this thread. I'm looking to jump to the N7105 for LTE. Really hope some Roms get ported across. Im loving the Omega Rom on my N7100 currently...

When you say you can't do anything, can you still get into recovery or download mode? If you can you have nothing to panic about. As said above, just download a stock rom and flash with Odin.

I would like to thank you all for helping me here. I am writing to you on my fixed galaxy note 2. Knowing that I could fix it was what I needed not to sound chezzy. But a quick search on google for stock roms got me what I needed and and flash throw odin did the rest. But on more questions is flashing a custom rom just as easy. Or can I [email protected]# it up again and if I do F it up again can I just reflash it again as long as I can get it into download mod

It's very hard to break the phone unless you flash firmware from a different phone or something silly like that. So long as you can enter download mode you can pretty much recover from anything.

You could Flash any Custom Rom but you need to be rooted ,
So Root your device first , Dont forget to back up EFS
Install a custom recovery like TWRP ,
Make a backup ,
Start Flashing , Any time Bootloop you can restore from backup

You get screwed if ROM is not for your device, whether it is stock/custom. Once you have correct ROM, both are easy, even stock is more easy.

Why hasn't there been a 4.4 Google Edition rom in t-mobile s4 dev section?
Is there a problem with the kernel ?

There's really no point. A T-Mobile version of the rom wouldn't give you anything different than flashing the i9505 version(it comes naturally from Google without carrier branding) and making it for the i9505 will let the rom reach a wider audience. The only thing you might have to do after flashing is change the apn setting for lte.

Owner of Tmobile M919 model want to install 4.4 kitkat
Hello Guys
First thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to provide me some info / input on my questions.
1. I would like to get out of the samsung branded install of the tmobile S4 and try a rom that would give me stock OS like the Google edition / Nexus phones.
2. Is it it possible to get 4.4 kitkat stock/custom rom installed on this phone ? any recommendations / issues ? i know that wifi calling is lost with stock roms but what about tethering ?
My phone is already rooted and TW recovery installed.

1.) Just go over to the Development section and browse the different 4.4 based Roms. They're almost updated every other day. I've tried a few of them and each has their strengths/weaknesses. Just always make sure that you Backup your current software so that if there is an issue, you can return to a previously working software.
2.) If you haven't upgraded to the MK2 radio yet, I would advise reading all that you can about it and performing that (provided you're still on MDL Bootloader). Tethering was still available with all of the 4.4 Roms that I tried. Ultimately, it comes down to what you prefer. I went back to a stock-ish 4.3 Rom because of certain features that a GE Rom just didn't have.
Best of luck!

i had been wondering this myself as well. this does look like the rom i want. im still on the 4.3 version of it atm, does installing the mk2 radio stuff do anything for me? and if so at what point would it be best to do the install? ( now or after installing the 4.4 rom?) i guess i dont fully grasp what the radio does for me.

The radio is more like a driver for all you cellular hardware. KitKat does not like the old firmware. That being said if you don't upgrade you may or may not have issues. Updating firmware would be best before installing your ge ROM. I would test it out now on you current ROM and then switch over to KitKat. Have you rooted or updated to new 4.3? What ROM are you on now?

ahh thanks for the reply, im running jamals gpe 4.3 rom from the dev section,rooted, twrp recovery. was watching the forums so i never updated to the stock tw 4.3 thing, went from stock 4.2.2 tw directly to this rom.

If I were you I would follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 it worked for me. This will upgrade radio without giving you Knox. IMHO I think dandroids ge ROM is the best. Also infamous (the man) is about to drop a ge ROM any minute. I am using the beta version and its rock solid.

Honestly they are all similar. The come from the same base. I do like the faux kernel of dandroid. Can droid has been the smoothest. Jamal's was good and is fully stock virtually untouched. His development was slower than other so I jumped ship. If you like his work stick with it. I use dandroid for the built in xposed framework. I can mod the hardware buttons and status bar easily and a little less bloat. Infamous has more bells and whistles. Hope that helps. Oh and FYI I have dirty flashed between all of these ROMs no problem. I also clean flashed them as well to really compare. Worst case scenario you just nandroid backup the one you like and flash em all they are smaller size to back up. Let me know how it works out

Can we get a screen shot of your "About device page... expecially the baseband and kernel versions... build also if possible.

Can someone let us know if the update fixes the stupid screen rotation bug when you turn off auto-brightness. Also, if there is a noticeable change in overall snapiness. Thanks!

How would I go about rooting 4.3 for AT&T? Can someone point me to the thread of it exists? Yes I've tried the search function and no nothing exact came up. I don't want to mess up and then be "that guy" on here crying about making a noob mistake.

See Dr. Ketan and his thread regarding the bootloader on 4.3.....g

Will you be able to go back to 4.1.2 if you take this update?

But that's a thread specifically for 7100-based (non-LTE) variants, right? Whereas we have n7105-based LTE Versions...if I'm missing something please let me know. TIA.

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice. I should have qualified here that I am COMPLETELY stock other than root. I have not "frozen" any apps., deleted any Samsung provided files, etc. and I have stock bootloader and stock recovery. This will likely NOT work if you have done any of those things.

Is there a flashable version of this? If not, can somebody make one? Thanks.

I'm running a custom rom and rollouts/updates from vendors freak me out because I don't trust not one of them. Knowing AT&T they have thrown in some bit of encryption that locks the bootloader. I understand this might not be the case this time but I do know none of them can be trusted.
Now if you excuse me, I'm 1/2 done with 1984 the book and my tin foil hat is making me itch.

Guys I need help I am stuck, I am using unlock att with tmobile, I check software update but it days interrupted, and I even tried with kies but it's not connecting at all, I tried 2 pcs.... Any help... What to do to update it... Please

The update has only been out for a few hours and we are asking for .zip files already ??
Sheesh...
Give the devs some time to pull it apart and clean it up...unless you would like Knox and a bootloader lock ??

I have a few questions for you and/or those more in the know:
If I were to do this same thing, would I be able to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) and/or flash custom ROM's/Kernels like I can already do now? One of my main concerns is that the stock kernel doesn't support Boeffla Sound, and that really makes for better audio on this device...might as well take full advantage of that Wolfson DAC...
I have to admit, it would be nice to be able to use pure AT&T stock, but rooted, as a base...this is why I loved the old CleanROM AT&T SE so much...
TIA for any guidance you can give on this.
Side note: after ODIN'ing back to 4.1.2 MA4, it says I have a 741MB update I can take....I'm sure that's this 4.3 update...Culpeper, VA here.

I did the same as marchusdavis but it resulted in a total disaster. After I downloaded the OTA update from AT&T I restarted my phone and it installed through CWM-Touch. At the end it asked if I wanted to ensure root was maintained and of course I said "yes" there (as well as through my SuperSU Pro Survival Mode). When it booted, my WiFi no longer works AND I lost root.
If anyway has any advice on how to get to a stock 4.3 from here please let me know!

Ugh, having trouble updating atm.
Goes up to 30%, then my phone reboots and says
"The update was interrupted" or something like that
On stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery if anyone can help.

I don't believe so, as I am completely stock, bootloader and all. If you want to install other ROMs, you'd need to use a different method I believe. Likely downloading this update either via Kies or something else, and use ODIN to do everything. If you search around a bit on XDA, you'll probably find someone who has done it successfully and posted how. While I like custom ROMs, I have not had a need to use one yet on this device. However, if Samsung doesn't eventually give us Air Command, that might be enough to make me try it!

Is it possible to get the official update from the leak or do I have to downgrade to 4.1.2? I tried updating from the leak but it said it's the latest version.

No, it is still 4.4.4 with Stagefright Fix, probably might be some more changes. No lollipop yet.

Personally I don't have that issue with my S4, but would be worth a try testing it.

I think we have to sue samsung by selling us defect s4 with sim card removed issues. It is so annoying. I dont know how to fix it.

How's that wifi calling working on there, and AllShare is that working good for you, streaming music and movies to whatever device you want, mms over wifi working good for you too? Did CM win the lottery and buy some decent firmware for the camera so their roms can take good pictures? Ooooh that's right you are on cm12, all you can do is make phone calls (sometimes) and count all the things your phone doesn't do without buying something from the market.... I can't wait to try that awesome rom that doesn't do.........anything... :silly:

You need to install the new firmware with ODIN. The procedure is in the first post. Do a factory reset in recovery before booting into download mode, after backing up.

Your problem is the recovery is not jfltetmo. Make sure you change the recovery to twrp for jfltetmo, or flash a unified recovery for s4, then flash the rom again.
Flash this recovery and you will be fine! http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/MRnsiX4W/file.html
