Hi all,
So today was my first full day with my new device an Orange Note 2 LTE (GT-N7105).
The device is locked to Orange, has the usual Samsung bloatware and the EEsim app.
So I started today with mini battery test, from a 100% charge I dropped 18% in 3 hours with 2 hours screen on time.
- Not a vigorous test by any means but suggest that this device does is not inferior battery wise to the N7100 model. (NO LTE active during test)
I then moved onto rooting, I used the following link and successfully rooted with no problems. READ EVERY WORD OF THE FIRST POST AT LEAST.
-http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/samsung-user-group-136/n7105-root-custom-rom-flashing-tutorial-r-d-stage-3942841.html
I then installed custom recovery using the name guide in the above link.
- Recovery installed fine and did a nandroid (which I later deleted by mistake )
I then checked and my device status showed as modified, and my counter was at 2.
I then flashed a custom kernel with init.d support., again with no issues.
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852
I then installed the sdexternal2sdinternal mod and it worked perfectly.
-
I then wanted to see if I could undo everything.
I flashed this firmware through odin, you extract the file from the zip and place it in PDA (If this cause you any loss in anyway it is not my fault this is not a guide of what to do just info so people know what's what in principal.)
- http://www.hotfile.com/dl/176688736/5947a01/N7105XXALIJ_N7105OLBALIB_MM1.zip.html
My device booted fine, and still had all it's data, I checked my device status and it said (what ever it says when it's not modified lol), but my counter in download mode showed 3 counts. I hadn't expected to see unmodified status with counter > 0 but apparently that counter doesn't affect that dialogue box. I checked for OTA but none showed, I went to recocvery and wiped data and cache, rebooted, clicked OTA and it found and downloaded. I could not find where it downloaded this file and it insisted on reminding me at least every 3 hours I had to update.
- So now I was on stock firmware, no root, device status unmodified, OTA worked, the phone still locked to orange.
I re-rooted again, flashed CWM as before, wiped data and this time when I booted I got a load of singTel bloatware - I'm not sure why this either didn't appear before or why I hadn't see it. Anyway, I flashed the kernel again and the sd mod and it all work. I used titanium to remove all the extra bloatware. Downloaded a few games with large file sizes, then installed to the removable card and played absolutely fine.
Finally I used Triangle away to reset the counter just to make sure that worked, and it did.
What's next:
Well there are no custom roms for the n7105 at the moment, not even stock roms with root, deoxed, etc, etc, BUT there is someone working on a patch to make n7100 roms work. At the moment flashing an n7100 custom rom on the n7105 will work but no modem activity at all (no network, wifi, data, etc etc) They tried using the n7105 modem on the n7100 but it didn't work, they're working on it but it is harder than they expected. I'll link this later.
Network unlock - the galaxsim unlock app (free from market) is work on the n7100 (apparently) but not on any of the many LTE variants. The dev is working on it, but the way the network lock is store is completely different (at least file names and locations are that's as far my expertise goes I'm afraid) it looks promising though especially if the US handset are different in the same way as ours.
So to recap, the orange (EE) handset can have:
Root
Custom recovery,
A complete SD card for SD internal swap
I'm glad I read your thread, you've done everything I wanted to do to my 7105 but havent been brave enough to try being a noob. Is there anyway you could check the call recording mod works on the 7105 as well before i try it.
Many Thanks from a nervous noob
Glad I could help.
Got a link to the appropriate thread for call recording? Is it an Omega mod?

Nice write up! To unlock your phone use play store app called "unlock your phone safe & fast" its by unlockunit. They only list n7100 but it still worked on my n7105
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944795 is the link for the call recording mod, its for the stock 7100 so should work on the 7105 but I'm not sure I'm compitant enough to fix my phone if it doesnt lol
This mod crash the phone.

thanks for posting all the useful information so far
Paul
does it have DC HSPA+ 42 the N7105 model
What speeds you getting on LTE and where about's in country are you?
Yes the n7105 has DC H+ 42

My first day was not as sucessfull as yours lol
I do have a I have a samsung galaxy note 2 im in UK in t-mobile... JRO03C.N7105XXALIJ
but i used the toolkit2 v2.0 to root that was for another build I choosed 1 build JR03C ALIE (teh noob)
my note is rooted, CWM etc etc and stuff but i have no signal no imei ... :silly:
a fellow xda user told me to try chainfire root method...
it roots my phone but not signal, no imei etc...
do you think that i can try to flash that kernel that you mention to see my babe back to life?
( Kernel-N7105XXALIJ-CWM.zip )
Im also downloading the STOCK firmware that you mention in hotfile to try latter..
any help, would be much appreciated
using odin to flash the stock rom did the trick i got signal back !!!!
thanks!!
Glad it's solved. Flashing stock definitely the right solution. Chainfire auto root from the original Dev thread is the wtg
For anyone else who reads this, if you run intob trouble don't flash pit files or re-partition unless a trusted expert tells you to do so. Use pm and be patient.
I'll try to update op later, will attempt a deoxed rooted stock rom for cwm at the weekend if only the Chinese one still exists, just a play thing tho nothing more.

lol in my noob super excited moment
I wrote the wrong stuff, no need to flash the rom (and wait for hours to download)
the official kernel was enough hehehe
Thanks for you post i was able to get in track, and now that I know i just need to be patient to flash other rom until we get something
cheers!

I was hoping you would talk more about what you think of the device and what the overall performance is like?
After being an iphoner right from the get-go, (jailbreaker of course), i finally got bored and moved on. plus, i really wanted a big screen. so i got a gn2 about a month ago, and rooted it on my mac two weeks ago using the CWM/mac/heimdall method. i have been running the stock-but-rooted rom, and not put on a custom rom yet. i have no real good reason for this, but for pure educational purposes and a desire for complete control, and/or warranty reason should they arise, i would like to do a full unroot and restore a stock rom. BUT everywhere I look, I can easily find every possible stock rom from every carrier and every country... except at&t (sgh-i317). i know i can use other that are similar. but my question is, WHY is what is potentially the most common/popular rom of them all, NOT widely available?
second question is: ok, so it's hard to find. but does it exist at all? if so, where? i tried to flash this one, (not allowed to post the link), using the CWM console that got put on the phone when I rooted it, but is fails every time I try saying the file or rom is "bad". is it bad, or do I need to do something else? FWIW, the fail flashings of this rom do no brick my phone. it reboots normally to the stock rooted rom i've been using since I rooted it two weeks.
oops, looks like i can't post links but the sgh-i317 rom i found was at a well-known net repository of stock roms
-peter
I found this over in the dev section in the Reference sticky.
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/181184536/fa1bbef/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip.html
I haven't downloaded it, so I couldn't tell you what's in there. It might be a CWM flashable rom-only zip, or it might be odin-flashable files in there. You'll have to download and see.
Edit: Did a little more research.. That's an Odin tar file inside the zip.

I had to do a double take and make sure I wasnt writing this post. I am in almost the same boat under similar circumstances. I have been waiting for the stock rom for 2 months . I got my AT&T Note 2 in November and went through the root process and had a problem somewhere along the way and had to use a custom rom to get up and running again. Since then I have waited patiently for a stock rom to show up that would get me back to normal . My phone has been working , but my signal strength is bad and I can show 3 bars on my phone , but when I go to make a call , it drops to zero and I cannot make a call . This happens at work all the time and at home most of the times. My incoming calls are not accepted and are routed to my voice mail , which I cant listen to until I get to an area where I get a better signal . I cannot live like this for 2 years , I need this fixed . Just want to get back to stock , with no root , no custom roms , etc . I never had this problem with my iphone ! Love the Note 2 , but come on man!

Why not flash cleanrom att special edition and the correct modem. I have not had any issues with his rom. Did you do a backup of the stock rom before you flashed a custom rom? If you did go back to your stock backup.
www.stockroms.net
so i see we're all pretty junior here. none of the experienced folks have chimed in here yet.
getting back on topic, you could make a case that the att stock rom could/should be the most widely used rom in the entire gn2 world. yet it does not appear to be widely available, when the most obscure ones are. why is this?
-peter
thank you for posting that link, "member", because i couldn't. that's where i got the one that gives a "bad" or "corrupt" when i try to flash it in the CWM console.
sooo, is it corrupt? or is it user error on my part where i have to do something to the .zip file to make the CWM flash console able to use it? or do i have to flash it with mobile odin, (which i don't know how to use, yet).
-peter
ok member, i just unzipped the sgh-i317 file from stockroms and there is a .tar file in there, but "kies" is in the name of it. does that mean i have to use kies to flash it?
-peter
Hey so the only way to get back stock ATT (well the only way I know) is through ODIN. So follow these steps if you want your old AT&T unroot back, then root it again for a stock root experience.

And that .tar file is read only by odin I believe. I do not think you can flash it through CWM or TWRP, but I am fairly new to android (last 2 weeks, and before that 6 years of iOS). So I could be wrong.

He wants completely stock, as shipped. That's how I understand it anyway.
For pcrussell50, you'll use Heimdall to flash that .tar file. I use Windows so I've never used Heimdall, so I definitely cannot help you with it. Good luck!

success... i think. used mobile odinPRO to flash the rom on stockroms net then rebooted in to download mode and sure enough, there is no longer a binary count, where it used to read "1" and it shows the binaries as stock. a further check under settings>about device>status, all the way at the bottom shows device status: normal. it used to say device status: modified until this flash of the stock rom from stockroms.
now the mystery... am i still rooted? SU, Ti backup, triangle away (which i never used), and mobile odinPRO icons are still on the home screen. i do not know if these things go away automatically after unrooting or if they still hang around. but when i try to boot into the CWM recovery mode, (volume up-center home-power it boots to a similar, but stock looking interface. that makes me think it's unrooted now.
overall pretty satisfied. i'll roll like this for a few days and try to pick up the new ota update and re-root again.
thx, peter
even more success...
i picked up the ota update to 4.1.2 just as if it was totally stock--so i think now i AM totally stock, after waking up this morning rooted, and spending parts of today unrooting back to factory stock. so now i know i can do it. i'll re-root here again when i can get some time. thanks all, and i'll try to help anyone else in my boat as best i can.
-att gn2 sgh-i317, now running 4.1.2
-rooted to stock rom, then unrooted
-using a mac for rooting/syncing

i must not have had it ticked, because after reading your post above, i went to odin (still on my phone) and tried to open it and it told me i need to have root (super user) to use it. it said no such thing when i was rooted, so at this point i _think_ i'm not rooted. i'll look for the app in the app store for even more confirmation.

So glad I left iOS. Even with a jailbreak it's nothing compared to android. I been rooted since day 1 and now I'm running the type 3 international stock rom by micosa. It's beautiful! Love the inverted apps for battery saving! I also have a swift flow beta keyboard and I lowered the height of the keyboard so there is more screen real estate with the keyboard up. And with s pen board switcher, I can go to handwriting mode as soon as I pull out s pen!

Hello everyone,
As the title says I have a problem with my Galaxy Note II N7105 Lte (Vodafone, Germany)
I flashed the new cyanogenmod nightly one the phone and that was all well and good but then I made the mistake of flashing the Note2Core Kernel on top of if rendering my phone dead. My first Idea was to flash another Kernel on top, as I had some issues with the newest Note2Core Kernel (v3.06 OC) when I was still on my stock rom. I used the Perseus Kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852 (I used the correct one for the N7105, so I think that is not the problem.)
What I then did was search the internet for an answer and most of the time I found something like "go enter cwm" but that just wont work and I have no idea why. I can only get into the normal "Download" mode. I tried pushing the 3 buttons from the start and just holding them, waiting for the first samsung logo with the device name and then pressing them and also pressing them and then letting go of the power button as one tutorial suggested. At the end it means I can't go into cwm, which would have been the easy way out.
What I did then was trying to flash the stock rom (from samsung-updates.com) on top of it with odin to get rid of the whole mess but that got me nowhere too. When I start up the phone the samsung logo is back but it is stuck... I left it like that for about an hour just to see if it would work eventually but I am stuck at the logo.
Trying to find out what is going on I entered the "Download" mode again and that confused me a bit there as it says binary SAMSUNG official BUT System custom. Just to see what would happen I flashed the auto root on top of it but that just gave my the notice that my binary was also custom so I went and flashed the official samsung rom on top again to no effect.
I spend the whole night yesterday to find a solution but this is all I got. I assume that cyanogenmod 10 is just not working with another kernel and found that out the hard way.
I would really appreciate help on this matter as I am out of options right now.
Boot in recovery now tgat you flashed stock rom. To boot in recovery press
Volume up+home button+on/off.
When samsung logo appears release the power button.
When it will boot in stock android recovery select wipe cache and wipe whole system (can't recall how it is written). Then select reboot now. That should do it.

That did not quite do it but I feel like a fool right now since this is the first time I realised that I mixed up Volume up and Volume down. But you gave me an option for that factory reset and after flashing CWM on top of that with ODIN it works again. One night wasted on nothing but my own lack of sleep and stupidity.
Thanks!
Good that it is working

N.E.A.K. Note2: Samsung and AOPS (AOPS support is only available for the N7100).

Thanks! I haven't experimented much with custom kernels and my first try in combination with CM 10 didn't end that well. This gives me something to go from. Also I had a HTC Desire before and just got the Note 2 a few weeks ago, so there is another thing I have to get to know better.
Dude, please note that, for those kernels above which support both Touchwiz/Samsung and AOSP/Cyanogenmod based ROMS, there will be a separate version of the kernel for each.

My first Idea was to flash another Kernel on top, as I had some issues with the newest Note2Core Kernel (v3.06 OC) when I was still on my stock rom. I used the Perseus Kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852 (I used the correct one for the N7105, so I think that is not the problem.)
What I then did was search the internet for an answer and most of the time I found something like "go enter cwm" but that just wont work and I have no idea why. I can only get into the normal "Download" mode. I tried pushing the 3 buttons from the start and just holding them, waiting for the first samsung logo with the device name and then pressing them and also pressing them and then letting go of the power button as one tutorial suggested. At the end it means I can't go into cwm, which would have been the easy way out.
What I did then was trying to flash the stock rom (from samsung-updates.com) on top of it with odin to get rid of the whole mess but that got me nowhere too. When I start up the phone the samsung logo is back but it is stuck... I left it like that for about an hour just to see if it would work eventually but I am stuck at the logo.
Trying to find out what is going on I entered the "Download" mode again and that confused me a bit there as it says binary SAMSUNG official BUT System custom. Just to see what would happen I flashed the auto root on top of it but that just gave my the notice that my binary was also custom so I went and flashed the official samsung rom on top again to no effect.
I spend the whole night yesterday to find a solution but this is all I got. I assume that cyanogenmod 10 is just not working with another kernel and found that out the hard way.
I would really appreciate help on this matter as I am out of options right now.

As long as you can enter DOWNLOAD mode, your phone is NOT bricked. When you **** up your bootloader and stuff, then we can talk...
Hopefully this has taught you how important it is ti actually read up on something before you do it. Not only are the note2core and perseus kernels for samsung based roms only, other kernels such as redpill and neak only support the n7100 for their aosp/cm kernels.
As far as I know there is currently no other cm kernel for the n7105, although there is a neak cm kernel for the n7105 currently in beta testing.

No worries... learned my lesson... Sometimes I just need that smack in the face to get it.
And before I break my bootloader or some similar disaster occurs... I'll read first.

Think we need a sticky with good instructions how to install and make a nandroid backup.
As well as sticky for EFS backup and why its so important to do it first and properly.
I know I had a lot of problems finding this info and implementing it proper,
To start i belive my OS was deleted previous to the attempt to flash to stock.

Are you able to get into your recovery? If so, from what I see here it should let you into the stock recovery. If you get something different or nothing at all let me know. Have you tried flashing back to stock with any other files (i.e. something provided here on XDA, or an older file on the Samsung website)? I've run into issues with ASUS post bad software on their site when trying to return to stock. May I ask why you are flashing back to stock? You said that you believe your OS was deleted? I may have some links I can pass on to you to help you find what you need, but a bit more information would help. I looked on the Verizon NII forums and have seen a few people with similar issues.

I have not tried flash to stock with any other files, i did attempt to flash the CF Auto root file becuase i was at a lose. I tried that yesterday morning the result i got was loosing my twrp recovery and binary count up to two. I deleted my os while tring to flash macksrom v5 2 weeks ago. I was attempting to flash to stock in effort to reclaim my OS. I would like end game to be macksrom v5. Previous to deleting os, 2 months ago i tried flashing macksrom planejane to no avali, using files from diffrent locations but all seem to be unable to unzip. The only successfull in flashing was a perseus kernle.

Try pushing TWRP to your phone using ODIN. From there you can try putting that ROM on your phone. I would try a different ROM first just to see if you are able to flash anything.

So will flashing a ROM install an OS too? Any ROM suggestion for this task?

Are you new to modding phones? Not trying to sound rude, you just seem a little confused is all. When we say we are flashing a "ROM" we mean we are installing a different OS on the phone. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you want something smooth and close to original android, you could try Cyanogen mod, AOKP, Liquid smooth and a few others. If you want one that is a modded stock ROM (one advantage there is that you will still have access to all of the Samsung Applications for the S-Pen, though there are plenty of suitable replacements for these) you could try something like Synergy... Not sure what all else there is as it has been a while since I've tried out different ROMs. What all are you looking for in a ROM?
same problem but much further along than him

ok so yes i was trying to root and flash to verizon. bought the phone on craigslist. it had a bad esn so i decided to flash it. I rooted it and installed twrp just fine. being a dumb @$$ took hold of me and i decided to partition and format the phone. in the end I bricked it. so i through the phone into download mode. and tried to use the custom LJC rom. (no dice). so I tried the VZW variant. (failed at cache). So I tried to replace the the stock rom. got down to sboot.bin and failed. it turns out the bootloaders get locked so i cant use a boot image to recover. in the process of replacing with stock i deleted twrp. unintentionally. so no more twrp. so i found a thread that had a stock rom that doesnt use sboot.bin. fails at cache every time. I have tried everything I know to do and there isnt much on the note 2 yet. so im looking for answers. I feel as if im close but im just missing something. if i could find a combination kies file with no sboot.bin for SPH-L900 it may work. I dont know how to compile it myself or i would so here I am. any help would be appreciative.
Thanx

Download one of my zips here and put it on your micro sd card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
Then
Place the phone in download mode and flash this in PDA slot. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490001700
It will get you into twrp recovery. From there factory reset and flash the zip you downloaded from the first link

Looking for you expert advice
I am trying to take my Boost Mobile S3 and flash it to my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I use to have the note 2 flashed with my old donor (Boost Mobile Incognito)... I LOVE the Note 2 but hated that I could only get 3g. I love the 4G on my S3 (night and day difference). I am green but I am getting pretty savoy from all the info I get here. And I read, read and then read some more... I miss my note 2.. Easy on the eyes! lol... I love the bigger screen and the s-pen feature, Simply put, after reading your thread here, I was so impressed with your knowledge that I thought I'd ask you for your help. I just want to use the S3 as a donor. How to I donor the S3? What programs do you suggest to use to read the info on the S3 and write (flash) to the Note 2? Thank you so much for any help you can give...
I finnaly got to flash the lastest suggestion billard412 you are right on the money. Thanks a billion and where is your donation button!?

Hi
I'm a twat who rooted his device, then installed a Russian KitKat eqivalent 4,4, then tried to upgrade to Lollipop. The recovery was all in Russian, so I tried to wing it by guessing the tabs. Now I can't get into recovery mode- I just get a recurrent Samsung GT-N7100 screen.
I've tried re firmwaring it via Oden. Appears ok but just hangs in download mode.
Can't even get to recovery with down with Vol up-Power-Home.
Sounds like my phone is stuffed. Any ideas befoe I bin it and howl to the moon???
I did the exact same thing! I got round it by flashing official firmware via Odin, reflashing CWM, re rooting and then flashing DN4. I'm no expert though. Shame cos if it was the same ROM, it looked good apart from that recovery. I may give it another go when I've read up on how to change the language!

I'm so.. grateful for your reply. Gives me some relief that not the only twat in the universe, and another angle of attack. Have to research the CWM bit. I think I used PSN-purecm AnyROM Aroma one ( if thta's a CWM). Installed ok with a flame log and the phone bootlooped afterwards. The trouble a lot of the links in these fora link to non existing pages, so when I flash or recover I get signature not verified or the like!!!
Anyway, thanks and Seasons greeting if this time of year floats your boat.

Get official firmware for your region from sammobile (google it). I used Philz Touch recovery, re rooted and flashed my backup of Ditto Note 4. You can use whatever ROM you like, (I'd suggest one in English Might not be the only way round it, but it worked for me. Glad I'm not alone in feeling foolish!
