What TW ROM should I install and NOT mess up the EFS? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
The title pretty much says it all.
I currently have the XXDME4 modem installed (went to this from XXDLJ2 and... I have no idea what modem I was using prior to that) and am using Slim Bean ROM. But, I want to give a TouchWiz ROM a try, to test something sound related (5 minutes), then be done with it and return to AOSP based ROMs and such. With all this modem/EFS talk... I am very confused. Don't know what modem/ROM base I am safe to go to now...
So. What TouchWiz ROM should I install and be free of any EFS ****ed up things?
Thanks in advance!

If u r happy with this modem, install a rom like assasin which gives you option whether to keep the old modem and kernal or to change it. If you dont change the modem, efs wont be messed up I fee

Take a backup of the EFS by using the tool here. Then it'll be easy for you to restore.

I know that, but... I wanna do it the easy way, without having to backup & all...
Anyway, guess I'm gonna have to do that.
One q. Now, as I am on XXDME4, if I ever switch to another modem which changes EFS... if I revert back to XXDME4, will it be okay?
(still got a lot to read on this thing, that's why I'm asking for now)

Ya. If you lose your EFS anytime at all, Revert back to XXDME4 and restore this image.
There is no other easy ways than this. This would just take seconds and you're already rooted.
As mentioned by people before, you're fine as long as the ROMs you're flashing doesn't mess up with modem.

That's easy, download any rom, enter the archive with some Zip tool and replace the modem part with your current one. Or if you feel up to it, edit installation script to not flash modem. You can do the same with kernel so it is not flashed at all. That way you can use any rom without fear
Most roms are in fact compatible with wide variety of kernels / modems (even if some are included in installation - they are tested by developer to be fully compatible) so you should have no problems. For your information you can currently use all roms that are from ME6, MF2 and MG1 family - as Adam's kernel author mentioned, the compatibility problem lies in changed kernel ramdisk and he uses old one so you can flash his kernel over any TW rom without fear of breaking EFS.

So anything before ME1 is really safe. Best would be to flash stock for example XXDMC2 and on that flash any new custom rom with modem and kernel flashing disabled.

But hang on a second. What if I flash a new modem? I do not intend to stick to TW - I just wanna test something sound related cause NO ONE ELSE WOULD then go back to Slim/CM etc.
If I use the very latest modem (whichever that may be) and use them on CM... Would there be a problem?

Not from CM side CM mostly does not care what version of modem you have, and it's not the modem that is creating all those problems, but newer kernels (ME6 and newer). So don't touch the modem at all or flash it if you want. But don't flash newer kernel ME6, MF1 or MG1. Flash Perseus 36.3 kernel, do it immediately after flashing rom, without restarting recovery, because once you run new kernel even one time you have a problem.

[Q] JB Related - Theme and Partitions

2 Part Question here.
After a good run on CM/AOSP built roms, I'm coming back to stock based for awhile. Has anyone seen/found a way to get an aosp style signal bar on FI16 ? (Battery, clock, wifi/signal) ??
2nd Question is: Since the JB builds seem to do partitions differently with /preload - anyone bounced back and forth between source built JB and stock based ? If so, what did you do about that extra partition?

Thanks Blues... I did not realize the one-clicks re-partitioned.
I saw Jelly's theming but I really wasn't a huge fan of it. My personal taste is more of a simple blue AOSP style and I just haven't found that on the JB stock based cooks yet. I'll keep watching and if it bothers me enough maybe I'll try one myself.

Only restore re-partitons. If you want to ensure it's done, you can use a complete ics tar, along with the proper pit file, and check the option in pc odin.

[Q] $100 to the man who fixes my wifi

nvm
Try another kernel ? Make sure you use aosp version of the kernel. What exactly is the problem with wifi ?
Sent from my GT-N7100
I tried the Zoot's wipe you suggested earlier, didn't fix the problem. Tried a few different kernels, all bootlooped.
The wifi takes a very long time scanning for networks, and won't connect to any network (unsecured, WEP, WPA, nothing). Works perfect on roms mentioned in first post, but not on 4.1.2 based PA.
Why do you want pa ? For per-app-dpi ? Well that can be done on normal phone also.

Try to change the flash root file. Look for cwm6-root-n7100 and flash it through Odin. It should work fine after that. Good Luck =D
Wow $100. Just trying to help only.
Odin back to original stock rom. Check all connection its ok or not.
Check ur note 2 version *#1234# and also imei *#06#.
Flash pa according to ur note2 version.
Check ur imei.
Flash kernel n modem based on ur note2 version.
I've tried all these things and none of them make wifi work for me on cm10 4.1.2 based roms. I don't think the problem is as simple as changing a setting or root/recovery, because simply flashing a different rom (TW 4.1.2 or 4.2 based PA) fixes the wifi issue entirely.
The $100 offer still applies to any developer who knows what the problem is and can provide files & specific instructions on how to fix the wifi connection issues I have with 4.1.2 based PA roms. Until then I'm gonna run an unofficial PA3 rom, with zero wifi issues.
Try this
First do a mega wipe.
Then flash the latest stock rom for your country.
Then do a mega wipe again.
Then flash aosp kernel(redpill or uneak)
Then flash pa .
Then flash gapps.
Try all the aosp kernels.
Try previous versions of the rom.
Try different versions of gapps.

In Settings it says the baseband is N7100XXDLK7. This is probably because I've since flashed a stock rom from Dr. Ketan's thread. The label on the retail box says N7100ZNDXSG (but it doesn't say that's the baseband).
Are there AOSP kernels made for specific basebands?
Wifi works perfectly with every rom I've tried except anything CM10 4.1.2 based. The screen tear happened the same way with PA 2.99, and the same neak kernel fixed it, but there was never a problem with wifi on 2.99
Have you flashed isolated baseband from working rom?
If you have stock rom, extract tar and you will find modem.bin and flash it using odin for 'phone' tab
Just for safety make nandroid backup before it.

Isolated, no. Are you saying that flashing a rom zip via CWM overwrites the existing baseband?
At this point, the unofficial PA 3.1 is working for me where the official PA 2.99 wasn't.....so the $100 offer is no more. Thanks everyone for trying to help me fix the problem, but now I've got the phone set up how I wanted with another rom.

First of all. This is development section. Not big problem section.
Secound. Not exactly sure which kernel you mean, but if you are going to flash one and the same Kernel on ICS and JB then you will have problems.
And last but not least. If you donĀ“t read the forum rules, nor for which ROM the kernel you are using is supposed to be, you will get even bigger problems.

Maybe I understood this wrong, but as you say it is only related to CM10+ ROMs. But if he is saying he is having the same issue with a CM9 based ROM, there is only one possibility to get it there. This is by flashing a CM10 based kernel onto a CM9 based ROM.

I don't think you can use such combination. Never tried but I don't think you can boot up like this.
So anyway, this is not a rom issue. Maybe I misunderstood. But the best way to avoid these issues is by making a clean installation of the ROM. Always.

I tried it already and it worked. Just this will break a lot of things or make them not to work correctly. So either he flashed the CM10.1 kernel after reverting back to the ICS based OneOfAKind ROM, or simply flashed this rom over the AOIP without doing a clean installation.
Either way. This is not a reason to start a new topic about his issue in the development section. This is a kind of ignorance by not following the forum rules, not reading the installations instructions and not posting into the correct threads just to get more attention.

4.3 ROMs?

What ROMs are okay to flash if you have the Knox bootloader. Im so confused about this Knox thing. Ive read if it doesnt change your bootloader you will be fine and others saying i have to wait for a stok mk3 .tar (i do believe thats the right one) file to be available. one dev posted a rooted 4.3 rom and he said this wont mess with the bootloader. im just nervous dont want to brick my phone. someone please help and shed some light on this confusing situation

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: you can flash any rom you want.
Only one catch: do not EVER Odin a full stock tar with version < MK3 to your device or you will instantly brick.

I've been running it with ART and I haven't had it reboot on me yet. I think once I was doing something with the camera gallery and the camera 'broke" and required a restart but I can't remember if that was when I was playing with cm10.2 or cm11.

The original ROM checks for "know" baseband versions to make sure you dont try flashing the ROM on the wrong device. I had to unpack the ROM, add support for the new baseband and then repack the ROM inorder to get it to install. I also change he kernel cmdline to set SELinux to permissive mode by default (like it was in 4.3). I will post the tweaked ROM shortly.

It's a note 5 rom but it's a great option and everything seems to work fine.Other than the recent and back buttons.But I'm sure that can be fixed somehow

How do u manage to work with back and recents?
I use accessibility, dexterity.
How did you get the data to work?
does it work straightaway or you need to do something to get it to work? I'm scared of bricking my phone

This is kinda a pointless post. Its been stated multiple times that you can not flash note 5 roms without a proper patch. Yes, it will flash but will have hard key bugs along with others. You can even hard brick your device to a point you can't even flash stock odin tars to fix the issue. You all have been warn. Until the patch is out if it ever comes out I would not be flashing random note 5 roms.
AGAIN DONT FLASH NOTE 5 ROM WITHOUT PATCH OR PERMANENT BRICK CAN HAPPEN THAT CANT BE FIXED!
I use lamlazy and it works just fine.As far as back and recents,i use swipe gestures to do that.With the very limited options as far as roms,why not?

G928PVPU2BPG1 stock boot.img
If someone wishes to post me the stock official unmodified boot.img extracted from G928PVPU2BPG1 ?
I might be able to try build a SkyHigh kernel for you. Cannot guarantee working as designed on UX BETA firmware though. On latest stock, I'm confident the only issue will be user related . . . BUT never guarantee anything. It is difficult to blind build for device I don't own and unable to personally test !! I only have a day or so to do it, then the offer is off the table.

About time, I've emailed you a few MM boot img's. If you flash a custom kernel with and sprint note 5 MM rom you will have full use of the rom, including recent and back keys and a lot less chance of it bricking.

Yes. A few have spammed me and if they had bothered to read my thread OP FAQ they would understand.

I personally thank you. If you decide to build your kernel for us again, it will open up a lot of roms for us. So thank you.

Always best to use SkyHigh on stock. Any possible custom ROM call audio "issue" will be up to the ROM cook - dev to sort out - - not the kernel.
I'll PM you with a test soon. Please try on stock with no other BS interfering tweaking apps and scripts etc. Instructions are same for all variants, so please familiarize with requirements and install instructions (from other SkyHigh MM threads)
