just a stupid question. am i gonna follow the first post only?

post 1 is unlocking the bootloader/and getting root
post 2 is flashing a custom rom.

thanks. i'll read it and hopefully i have the courage to apply it. )

just to confirm. this is good for any software version? i have 4.0.4.

I believe so. It's what I did to unlock my 4.0.4 Sprint Galaxy Nexus.

yes. version doesnt matter.
the only thing that matters is you pick the right recovery.

Why is it that people recommend against the toolkit? Is there a problem with it or do you just think it's better to do it manually and learn while your are doing it?

Knowledge ftw.

Knowledge.
AND...a big part of it for me...
Is getting ADB/Fastbooot set up...so that we know it's working.
That way...if they come in one day with something wrong:
They:
A) Know what I'm asking them to do.
B) Know that everything is set up correctly...and we don't have to diagnose driver problems and such while the phone is bricked.
If a phone won't boot and all that noise...
ADB/Fastboot might not be working.
But if the user never GOT ADB/Fastboot working to begin with...we'll never know if they did it right or if the phone is simply in that bad of shape.
OP:
What I said sounds scary.
Just do ONE thing...never flash the stock .img's through fastboot that aren't for your device. (Radios/Bootloaders) Flashing the wrong recovery isn't going to brick you...you just won't have a recovery.
That is the big one that seems to get people into hard (or relatively hard) bricked situations.
And you'll be fine.

There is nothing wrong with using a toolkit, IFF you already know what is actually happening when using the toolkit.
I like to think of it this way: in school, they don't let you use a calculator until they teach you how to do arithmatic. Why do you think that is? Because you would never learn to add and subtract.
It's the same issue with a toolkit. It you don't do things manually first, you will never learn...

the toolkit works fine, but if he has no idea what he is doing and just blindly goes with what it says and stuff breaks, he has no idea how to fix it.
i would rather him understand what he did so if he has issues, we can help him get everything back in order and he will understand what we are asking him to do.

[Q] note 2 new owner totally noob...

hi to all pros out there,

I've been learning too. Best advice is search.....I have found the answers to all my questions here in the last number of months searching.
Short answer is the rom is basically the software that your phone runs when you boot it up. All your apps and settings....they are built into the rom. So, if you decide to root the phone, you have the option to install custom ones, not made by samsung or your carrier. I'm currently using the Jedi X6 rom, and its awesome IMHO.
And I took the easy way and grabbed the galaxy note 2 toolkit to initially root the device.
But there's guides and all that to help you.....just read before you just try doing anything.

Best advice: Don't do it.
Enjoy what you've got for at least a year. Then root.

and most importantly, keep your phone safe, that screen is what makes the phone worth its name and price. Get something to protect the whole phone. I bought mine 3 months ago, and i am babying it like a MOFU.

Hi,
A rom is just a customized firmware, that u flash to the phone. But if u don't know what a rom is, I would just stay on a stock rom, as it's the most stable.
Enjoy your new toy (i am already waiting for the galaxy s4 )

It doesn't look like much can be done until we get recovery.
I've built a stock, debloated, deodexed rom but cant test without recovery.
I've tried to compile recovery but I am afraid it's beyond my expertise.
Let me know if I can help

I spent my free time arguing today didn't even see your reply til now. I'll see what's up tomorrow before work though and I believe a rom can be flashed via stock recovery if done right. .. Maybe I think I read somewhere we can sideload? Worth investigation if you have a rom to test yaknow but use caution

Stock recovery has sideload but I tried the rom with no luck. I did the update via sideload on my good phone (regretting it now) and it worked.
maybe because its signed by samsung.

Yeah there's another step and I think that's the updater script that has to be altered to mimic Samsung or ported to your rom but I am just throwing you ideas for now. Hope it helps
Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Wishful thinking from a non-developer:
- debloated AOSP
- deodexed
- overclocking
- fast charge
- mount as usb storage
- cwm recovery
While all of these things are what I'd love to see, fast charge is a big one. I use my phone as a GPS navigator on my motorcycle, powered via USB outlet. I'm not sure about this model but my PRIOR phones would lose battery power faster than the usb outlet would charge. Fast charge settings options would remedy this.
I've never built a rom. I think it's time I read up and learn why I don't have what it takes to build one hahaha.

what?

Knox bootloader, wondering if stock out the box comes with it or if the ota update is the bringer of it. .

If by "New" you mean some super meaningful "OMGOSH We're almost there!" type update... No.
All I can really say is that we are still working on it. I believe justlove and I are going to be a pretty good team, we are in daily contact with each other and are working as hard as we can given the circumstances.
I know this is going to sound like normal dev bull s**t but please try to be patient and I'll let you know when we reach certain milestones.

[Q] Problems with Stock ROM, and recommendations for a non-android User.

Hello Everyone!
First of all I want to say that this is not directly help for me, but for my girlfriend. I dont know you guys, but she is tired of her stock ROM since it freezes a lot of times, and yes, I have checked it, I tried updating, hardreset...etc and after a week the phone gets a lot of performance issues.
So my question is, I would like a modified ROM from the official last update if it exist, I mean that everything is working on the phone and it is of course faster than stock phone. This is not a questions "which is the best" nope, I just want to hear your reccommendations because I am not a user of this phone and I dont know very well all different versions etc. Furthermore I have read a lot on the forums, and i have a small idea what could work for this case.
for example:
Since this is a mod from a Stock ROm, It shoudnt has any problem, Isnt it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400633
My big concern is that Im not the user of the phone, and you now what happens with "users" if something is not working...
Happy new Year!

You can use WinDroid 2.0 toolkit. If u want good ROM... Ignorance is really good but try something from higher shelf HTCdroid. It's the best ROM for HTC One V! The smoothest and the fastest. But a lot of ROMs has one issue. Data usage doesn't work... Why? I don't know I'm working on it but here is one ROM what haven't got it it's MoDaCo.one Ir2 here it works. But it's outdated so use newer ROM like Ignorance!

thanks but, the main ones have good 3G connection right?? I mean ignorance and HTCDroid right??
Im starting the process, man this stock ROM gives problems even while sync contacts

If you are tired of sense shpongle is the way to go. If you are okay with it, pick htcdroid. Both best in its classes. Htcdroid seems bugless or only minor bugs visible while shpongle got camera dead - you need 3rd party apk.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.
