the difference between m16 and mj5 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I want to know what is the difference between m16 and mj5
And which of them is better
And does any note 2 device can run all of them or every one of them requires spacific recuirements

MI6 build was first leaked 4.3 ROM
MJ5 was second and subsequent leaked build. Consensus is official version will be fully functoinal MJ5.
MJ5 requires the new bootloader to be flashed otherwise your wifi will not work. If you flash new bootloader you cannot downgrade to 4.1 ROMs, you will have to stay on 4.3. Also Knox is integrated into MJ5 while MI6 not so much.
My personal choice is to stick with MI6 until official ROM drops and our devs tear it apart and make it work 'xda' style
Both work on International 7100

Thank you very much
Now I'm on DN3 rom
So I will wait for official 4.3 but I will not install it because I want to wait for making it as note 3

Jason, you are fine to flash any ROM as long as it is for your specific model e.g. N7105 (yours) and not for another model. Being on 4.1 you may find your current bootloader causes intermittent problems on a 4.3 ROM. There are two solutions, upgrade your bootloader to MJ5 prior to flashing 4.3 ROM or flash 4.3 ROM then flash drketan's wifi fix.
I also recommend NOT flashing from Sammobile, instead go to Android development forum here on XDA and select an appropriate ROM. That way the Knox feature present in latest 4.3 ROMs can be avoided.
I have deliberately not included links for you - instead read & read install instructions from the ROM thread of your choosing. You will be fine as long as you understand each step & all the terms & points mentioned in ROM thread.
Good luck

Install NB4 or M17 Rom with N900T UVUDNF1 bootloader?

Hi,
Just updated to N900T UVUDNF1 bootlader and ROM and not quite happy with a few things. I was on Jelly Bean till now. Is it possible to install a NB4 or MI7 Rom even though I am on the new boot loader and radio? Would it work? I need to switch to a TW ROM because of WiFi calling.
Thanks much!

NB4 is not jellybean it's kitkat 4.4.2 TW firmware.
MI7 is jellybean 4.3 TW firmware.
Both the NB4 and the MI7 are Tmobile N900T TW roms and both have
the wifi calling option as long as your phone is a Samsung N900T
Tmobile branded device and you are on the Tmobile network.
If your radio/baseband is NB4 then you cannot downgrade to MI7,
however you can upgrade to NE6 or the latest NF1 firmwares which
are Kitkat 4.4.2 TW firmwares and both have the wifi calling feature.
Good luck!

Hi,
I am already on NF1 firmware. Upgraded yesterday(was on M17) and think I may have made a mistake upgrading to it so soon based on my usage of one the new NF1 custom roms.
So I cannot use a M17 (JB) Rom, but could I install a NB4 Rom since it is KK? I have TW recovery(2.7) installed.
Thanks!
In case anybody wondering I installed [NB4][AROMA] Hyperdrive KK RLS3.1 ║║ Hyperdrive just right now and it has been fantastic so far
No issues yet. GPS locked inside the house in a second on the first try.
So NB4 Rom works on an NF1 firmware imho.
Cheers!

[Q] Is there a reason to upgrade the bootloader?

I'm using the firmware (bootloader and modem) from the 4.3 Samsung update. I'm running CM11 M9 stable. Is there any reason I should upgrade the bootloader and modem to the 4.4 official Samsung release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucuemjb-to-ucufne4-firmware-update-t2808654 )? Why or why not?
Some custom ROMs require a KK bootloader. I believe unified msm8960 builds require a KK bootloader unless you specifically flash a ROM designed for JB bootloaders.

[Q] What is the smoothest android version on N7100 4.1.2 or 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?

I have just bought a Note 2 N7100 and It is on 4.1.2 jellybean
I want to ask the experienced users
what is the smoothest stock firmware for this device ?
I know this kind of question is banned but I just want to know the differences between the various firmwares
Mine now is 4.1.2 DLK7
And it says the last updates are upplied

stock FW are not smooth at all.
If you want to have pretty old phone running like it was designed 1 month ago just go with custom ROM, for start try dr. ketan's 4.4.2 V14
4.4.2 is the smoothest one in my opinion. I disable several bloatware by the way.
Happy with my kitkat.
4.4.4 touchwiz - no alternative, smoothest of all

Bootloader Version vs ROM Version?

My question is, does it matter what bootloader version you are on for a custom rom?
Far as if I am on MM Rom (Jasmine 6/7), do I need to be on MM bootloader version or LL bootloader for LL Rom? I know I need to be MM bootloader to even be on MM ROM, but do you understand what I am asking? Do I need to be on LL bootloader for LL ROM and MM bootloader for MM ROM?
Can I be on MM bootloader and have LL ROM?
The reason I ask is I am on the MM bootloader and have Jasmine v7 installed and my camera works just fine. But I want to go back to Jasmine 4.3 (LL), but when I install it again on MM bootloader, the camera is blurry.
The only way to fix the blurry camera is to install official firmware or MM rom such as Jasmine 6/7, or even official LL firmware.
I have no problem starting the whole process of unlocking the nite 4 since I've already done it a dozen times now. But while at work was wondering if anybody had an answer other then what I am doing.

If you're on a Marshmallow bootloader you can only use ROMs that are based on the Marshmallow bootloader. Jasmine 6.0 and up are examples of such ROMs. Paul Pizz and CM13 from 6/22 up are too. (Yeah, I know, so is the 6/20 version but that was so buggy that I don't even count it.)
Jasmine 4.3 and below were based on Lollipop bootloaders and need a Lollipop bootloader to work properly.
Yeah, the ROMs may partially work if you cross them up. But they won't be usable, with the big problem being data and the lack of.
