Lol. Just download the Tool Kit and the official Google 4.1.1 firmware that is available from their site (Links are in Development Section | Official Firmware links) make sure you know if your's is maguro or toro, then download the respective firmware and flash it via ToolKit.

Don't use a toolkit. Learn how to unlock bootloader and fastboot on your own as it is better than having it spoon fed

Did you try going into Settings > Apps > All Applications > Google Services Framework & Clear cache / Clear data? Sometimes doing that will make it work. Try that. Don't use a toolkit...

Let's not forget needs about toroplus.. don't need Verizon stuff on sprint. Adb is so easy! Use that! Toolkit is for halfa++ corner cutters
After you clear cache go to your dialer and type *#*#checkin#*#* and wait for confirmation then immediately go to settings about phone and update.

Based on the screen shot, it's gsm but build number isn't there. What build is the Op on? So far it's only yakju/takju, yakjuxw, yakjuxe, and yakjuzs that have jb so if he's on a different build and really want jb, then he needs to flash but if he can wait, then he has to wait still

Don't you look out for traffic when crossing the road?
Someone already got knocked over and you still want to try cross a highway.

Pics not showing on my end....and three simple words
fastboot oem unlock
Doesn't get easier than that.
And if just trying to get updates then do the checkin dialer. It forces the update to push

I was stuck on 4.0.3 for a week and just got tired of waiting and just rooted and loaded the stock 4.1.1 rom. This was my first time rooting and loading the rom. Wasn't hard at all.

You don't need to root it to load the factory image from Google. You only need the bootloader unlocked and you can do it through fastboot. Really very simple That's your best bet. As far as the first toolkit, I don't think there's any harm in using it specially if you're just going to use it to flash the factory image and unlock bootloader.

Try going to menu, options, applications, scroll over to all applications and clear data on Google services framework, Then go to about phone, system updates. That's what I did for the ota jb.

Not really. If you want to claim warranty, you can always lock the bootloader. And just use the toolkit from the thread in the development section. Remember you only have to do 2 things, unlock bootloader and flash factory image for 4.1.2.

I would agree with you completely. But I feel you're going to spend more time explaining it to someone who would rather take the easier way out than do all that. Yesterday had to explain to a 40 year old, father of two what adb was that I felt he was probably not ready to start sipping from the advanced user's method. I spent an hour trying to explain everything, what more if there was no toolbox?

[Q] Worth Rooting?

Hello!
So, I rooted my SGS before and now I have a Note II and I want to root it but I would like to be like 99% sure it won't brick my phone
Which is the safest and easiest way to root the Note II?
Specs:
Android: 4.1.1
Baseband: N7100XXALIH
Build: JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1

All modifications are performed on your own risk. You can be 99% sure, but there are always risks of course...
I used mskip's toolkit which you can find in the development section of the forum. It was extremely easy and painless so I recommend that!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

No it won't and it's always worth rooting.

I can say I have rooted device nearly 200 times myself and helped thousands of note1 user to root, I have never bricked, nor I have reported brick by just rooting.

i rooted mine. it's not stupid anymore like 2 years ago when i had to use a goldcard and such.
today it's sooo simple that afaik unless you yank the cable out during flash, or your pc crashes mid flash or something then you'll be ok.

Rooting usually needs to flash recovery, so even you interrupt in between or something happens that causing it, I don't believe still you can brick it. As long as your bootloader is fine, you are safe. Usually most brick happens due to flashing wrong file particularly pit. And bootloader though hard brick is rare.

Thank you!
Just a few questions left then.
1. As I said I live in Sweden, when I checked the Build and CSC it found a few on that list, should I choose United Kingdom because it's near Sweden?
2. Found this aswell http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31986738&postcount=7 is the last link if you need a backup or what?

When I used CF-Root to root my SGS I had to find the CORRECT one to download... Isn't it the same with the Note II? And do you think there will be any problems if I download the United Kingdom one even if I didn't bought the phone there?

No here you can root with same recovery to any available rom now.
Though you can flash any rom of any country irrespective of your region.
Rooting method will remain same as described in post#2 of thread you mentioned in previous post.

Ah! Downloading the file that was matched with mine PDA and CSC right now... If anything goes wrong, is there a big chance it is bricked or will that result in nothing changed? Nothing brick'd and nothing rooted?

Rom file you are downloading will just change rom(won't root) flashing rom should never brick if you properly flash with odin

I havenot rooted my device yet surprisingly. most times I root my phone as soon as root is available but I've not taken the plunge yet.
Reason being it's not required as device is very smooth and responsive. Those who have rooted could you tell me if you have seen any significant improvements?
Would you recommend it, does the s pen lose any functionality?

Personally I think its not worth it to root for once...I also used to root but with this phone I have not convinced myself of a reason before it used to be just for the updates but I have the international version so updates should be painless. ...besides I just bought this $700 babe and im not ready to chance that money yet

@riz157
Just rooting can't affect performance, nor you lose any functions including s pen.
There are individual indication for all to root device. Only purpose is do root to schedule backup my data with titanium backup and for flashing some mode like calling recording

Yes you are right of course you have to flash custom Rom or mods to see improvementd our changes. I should have made myself more clear. Are there any roms out there which significantly improve performance , stability of note 2 without losing core functions of note 2?

read up, test a few out maybe? get custom recovery and backup your rom. then you can try out a few new ones. you might like it - or not. if you dont, go back to your stock rom.
i jumped to wanamlite (used his during the sgs2 days) and i don't see performance diffs. tis tweaks mostly at this point.
as always. ymmv and what i want in a rom, you might not etc. and the reverse of course.

I'm a flashaholic to be honest every handset I've bought I've flashed daily but this handset works fine as it is.
Wanamlite looks interesting and tempting. Have you noticed any issues with s pen, reading ext card, graphical glitches since flashing this Rom?

[q] gt-i317m telus (i317mvlalj2)

did some reading but didnt really find what i was looking for in this section.
i have the Note 2. v 4.1.2 but i want to downgrade to 4.1.1 so that i can unlock my device so i can use any carrier.
but then i would want to do the 4.1.2 update again completely stock from the OTA or whatever its called. and still have it permanently unlocked from the previous 4.1.1
should i use odin and a stock 4.1.1tar file for the PDA to flash it or would this be the wrong way of doing this and possibly voiding my warrenty

Well there's a few ways of doing that. The way you mentioned!
But you can also just downgrade your modem to the J2, and you can perform the unlock that way... But if unsure about what your doing, do some research..

so are you saying to only flash the modem with the I317MVLALJ2 modem and thats it... because i do know how to flash with odin. i did it with my first galaxy and for some reason the micro sd slot stopped working. so i was thinking this method would screw up my note 2. i just want to downgrade to unlock it then re update
this was the method i was going to go with. what would you say?!

Another method if your rooted, like I said you can flash just the modem thru the recovery...

well i am not rooted and i want to go back to COMPLETE stock. so i will go with ODIN. I haven't figured out the benefits of a rooted device. other then screen recording and a few little things here. then again i havent gotten deep into it to see what the benefits are.
but if you know some awesome things that benefit having a rooted device do share

I root to freeze a bunch of useless system apps. That alone is enough for me.

Rooting is only 1 part of a very large puzzle when you are talking about modification ...
Root is only a tool ...
And the real fun starts when you can build and theme or modify any number of parts inside your device ...
You don't own it unless it's rooted ...and you'll never fully enjoy it until you make the changes that unleash what these devices are capable of ...
And that starts by reading and learning ...then reading and learning more...
Then you will be on your way to making the phone truly yours ....g

Upgrading to T-Mobile 4.3 via OTA

Just checked for updates as described in other threads and it found the latest 4.3 update. I have read both positive and negative responses to the update. Some found things they used in 4.1.2 that are being taken away. Some like the new features in 4.3. It will vary from person to person whether the ROM is better for them or not. Fact is, all devices (current and future) are moving forward.
Should I just install the update? Should I make a copy of my current setup with one of the recoveries, then odin back, and run triangle away?

Strange. I went ahead and updated. Even after doing two complete resets, I still have SU app from 4.1.2. I guess it carried the program during the upgrade process?

it basically dirty flashed the new update over your 4.1.2. I honestly didn't care much about the KNOX boot loader since my warranty is already over. but, I find not having to flash devil kernel so much easier w/ less lag.

Hopefully someone will develop something that resets the KNOX counter. Triangle worked for 4.1.2, but does not work in 4.3 for me.
BTW, what 4.3 ROMs do you like, since we have the new bootloader? I just installed TWRP and trying to decide on a ROM.

I am installing DN3 and am in their installer. It asks me whether I want the N7105 version... or the i317 or i317M. I read to install the ATT version, but what's the difference in the M and non-M version?

So I have a question I hqvent been on in a while and last I checked the newest update came with a locked bootloader. I know it did for the s3. I liked the newest software on the s3 but I jus5 cant stand all that bloat and not having full control of my phone. That s3 was killing me. I just got my note2 back from samsung with a nice new screen and of coure they forgot to send the spen with it. Not that I use the stupid thing anyway but still come on. Anyway is the bootloader locked on this one also and how hard is that to get around?

theyre for different companies i believe. as how ours (T889) also has a T889v ( i think thats the right letter) version as its for a different conpany. I installed using the ATT one. there's really no difference because you're just going to flash a tmobile modem over it.

yes the boot loader is locked. I don't believe there's a workaround it yet. but I'm even sure. you can scroll around through the threads and see if there is. what I did was just update it anyways and tripped my KNOX boot loader to ox1. I didn't have warranty anyways so I'm not tripping over it. and then I just rooted it, flashed cwm and started to flash ROMs.

Thank you. So is the root process the same? Usually i flash twrp with odin then install su permissions then I flash away. Or do I have to use another method? Really all I want is the modem software so I could just wait till someone pulls it out they usually do. I always liked c heckin out the latest stock rom but always changed back to aokp.

if you're going to end up on aokp, you should just stay on the 4.1.2 boot loader. the update to me is really only for TW roms because the stock ROMs are working just fine w/o the new boot loader.

[Q] Switched Carriers Can I still Upgrade to Kit Kat 4.4.2 ?

Hello all, I recently switched from T-Mobile to AIO Wireless, Since the phone is an Original M919 can I still do the update to Kit Kat?
This phone has been unlocked, and I have rooted it currently using TWRP, but never installed any custom roms on it it still has the 4.3 on it
AIO Wireless uses AT&T Towers but they have a great deal $45 bucks per month for everything I was paying about 55 for T-Mobile getting only 500MB of Data with AIO i get 2.5 GB of data for 10 bucks less the service is really good hasn't failed me yet.
So that's my question Can I still Upgrade ? and will I loose everything? like TWRP etc... ?
sorry fro the noob question any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Louie

On the KitKat discussion thread, someone put a link to the update package. You can sideload it. Be warned, you will lose root.

To get the official OTA, you will have to go back to stock 4.3 and then upgrade from there. You will probably have to do a factory reset to bring it to official status after you unroot. It doesn't matter what carrier you are currently on.

Thanks for all your help

You won't need to factory reset. Mine was rooted and I figured it would be easier to use Odin to flash an official 4.3 back on. Did that and the phone was running just like yesterday but without root. So then I went ahead and did the upgrade via wifi. A day later and it's still running great. Never did a factory reset though. Now just patiently
waiting for more people saying they have rooted 4.4
