[Q] What's the best 4.3 untouched ROM? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'd like to know what's the best 4.3 ROM for my Note 2, I'd like to install one that includes all the features from the Note 3, but without many custom apps installed as well, I mean I'm looking a clean 4.3 ROM, but with the Note 3 features, what would you recommend? thank you!

Everyone has modded 4.3. To get what you want you would have to build yourself. Or maybe install leaked version, (open asia newest) and install n3 apps.....
We should see official really really soon so just hold out.

According to rumors, when are youg going to receive the 4.3 update in your country? I'm in Central America, so I'm not really hopeful about seeing it soon...by the way, If I'm rooted, I won't get the notification of the update, right? :S thanks!

I'm in the US so I don't have an update coming my way. I'm just going to use the U.K. or Asian version. The official will have multi language so you can Odin in any update you want.
As for being rooted, I think you will get the notification but it wont update.

Will ODIN update wipe out all the apps/data or is it like OTA that preserves everything?

Official Tmo 4.1.2 rollout

Sammobile says Tmo has started the rollout for 4.1.2 on the sgh-t989 via Kies. I can't find anything on Tmo's site but sammobile has the Odin .tar file up. http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202091699/c92decf/T989UVMC6_T989TMBMC6_TMB.zip.html
*edit*
Now its finally official from T-Mobile.
"Beginning April 8, the Samsung Galaxy S II will have an optional software update to Android version 4.1.2/ Software T989UVMC6 via Samsung Kies only. This update changes the OS to Jelly Bean.
You can update in one way:
Manual download to T989UVMC6 If you want to update to T989UVMC6, you can update via Samsung Kies. Ensure you are on the latest version of Kies prior to attempting the update. See http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ to confirm the version.".
Just installed with Odin. Looks cool. Now I'm late for work. :laugh:

Try rebooting the PC.
Make sure Kies isn't running.
Lmao.. All of you guys rushing to flash an unrooted stock ROM just to see something we all have already seem in custom ROMs for the last month or more.. Its hilarious. Especially since half of you will now start a thread asking how to root the new update.. Its an awesomely hilarious cycle.
Especially since in less than a day all of the custom twiz ROMs will be updated.. Lol.

I think people are just happy to have something that SHOULD be 100% stable. I've found one or two ROMS for 4.1.2 that have been 95% stable, and it's took some massaging on my part to make it work 99%. It'll be interesting to see how Samsung did 4.1.2 on our phones, so I'm down to download. I can rock stock for a little while

Ive been running CM 10.1 and will probably go back to it for the hotspot. I wanted stock for future use if I need it which I will debloat myself. A lot of people like rooted stock over custom roms because most custom roms have bugs and so does CM 10.1. And yes, it seems someone popping into the thread and lol'ing is also part of the humorous cycle.
So no multi window with jelly bean for us? Or is that just for 4.2.2

If you're running rooted stock you can just update and reroot. If you're on a custom rom you'll need to Odin back to stock.

The biggest question is, do we finally have Wifi Calling on JB? That's the main reason some of us are even on ICS at all.

[Q] Is there an official US 4.2.2 firmware available for N5110?

No offense to the folks running good versions of the UK 4.2.2 firmware, but since the U.S. version is out does anyone have that available to install on a a rooted but stock N5110 wifi note 8?
www androidcentral com/android-422-now-available-wifi-galaxy-note-8-kies-and-ota
I don't want the UK version (nothing against UK), but I can't seem to find the US one on the forums. Can someone link me if it is available? If not, just confirm that it isn't available yet and I'll just have to unroot and re-root.
Thanks
US stock firmware 4.2.2 is not available.

My US GT-N5110 Note 8.0 was updated to 4.2.2 through the setup menu last week. I found a couple issues with it. I would rather to stay with 4.1.2.
not sure why you can't just upgrade to the US 4.2.2 via Kies and then just root it? I can see if you were asking for a deoxed zipalign stock version, but since you didn't mention anything of that... just unroot and turn your 4.1.2 back to stock, and load up Kies and upgrade to 4.2.2 then root it.

no. it is available....where did you guys come up that it is not?
First I was talking about a version to get that was downloadable on my own not via ota or kies.
I rooted but i am not running custom rom or recovery... Kept everything else stock.
And I can't unroot and update via ota because I get message about my device being modified still after I use voodoo rootkeeper. Anyway I am at a loss on how to update now anyway and I really don't want to use a custom rom. .

I have 2 Note 8.0s (GT-N5110). One is running CM10.2 and the other WAS running that CivZ ROM; now it's running stock 4.2.2 with root. I go back and forth between original ROM with these 2 units. Just using Kies going back to stock. and they are US version of 4.2.2

it is at http://www.sammobile.com/, go search your device number...make sure you download the right version. If you have N5110 US WiFi, you should be downloading "N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_XAR.zip", unzip it, when you unzip, you should end up N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5, and then use odin to flash it...remember, this is stock firmware, so if you device rooted, you will loose...

Has anyone been able to root this thing? Their old zip doesn't work on this one.
can't have root permanent... everytime i need root i must start SUPERSU and ask for update.. then without reboot i can use the app in with root priviledges!
i hope someone come out with a solution!!!

From the oppo forums, it seems like it's perfectly okay to flash it from TWRP, but the Rom will overwrite the recovery with the stock one

What about theX9007 platform?
This is great news about a new, stable release, but everything says it is for the X9006 only. Myself and others have the X9007. I use my X9007 in Europe and the USA... and have no intention of using LTE in China. If I flash this, will I essentially have the X9006?
I am currently running the last X9006 beta that was OK to flash on the X9007. All my cell networks are working fine, including LTE. If I do this, will I need to perform a special modem flash for baseband... or only if I want a "Chinese" phone? Everything I have always heard is that both phones are exactly the same hardware.

You haven't got rid of touchwiz. Touchwiz is an embedded part of the stock Rom. You are only running a different launcher.
Yeah I know that. But I have removed it as my launcher.

The Panama TPA xxu1bod1 is practically the same firmware as the UK firmware.
In fact any firmware with the same build id will be more or less the same except for the carrier extras.

[Moto X Force] Marshmallow Rollout

Hello community, while googling for information about the release of Marshmallow for the X Force I found the Release Notes for the Update:
https://motorola-global-en-aus.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109337
I guess they will start rolling it out in Brasil, so I wanted to ask, if anyone has the brazilian version and if anyone has the update yet?
I just got the phone and am really looking forward to Marshmallow, as 5.1.1 really feels like a downgrade coming from 6.0 on my Nexus 5.
[Update 2015/12/18]
As it seems, the Update is rolling out in Europe as of today.
If someone who has rooted his force would be so nice to provide the Update.zip I would be really grateful, as my device still has not got the Update notification and I'm not the patient type
It is stored in the /cache Folder and you can only read that folder with root priviliges.

Here in Brazil already had experience installing ota India and Australia and worked well. But as the friend reported that tried to install the Brazilian in Mexico cell phone and did not work'll wait a few more days to see if it comes out the version of Brazil. If you install this version of Mexico in a cell with version EU think it should work
I tried to install the mexican version on my european X Force but it failed because of an invalid certificate.
