Can I install this on top of last Leak 4.3 update? I have already upgraded 4.3 bootloader and modem with leak ?

I assume these will install the new MJB bootloader and modem. Correct?

No. This is just the ROM.
Please edit your post to remove the OP info. And PLEASE don't quote the OP.

No. This is just the ROM.
Thanks I will try an flash over the MJ2 bootloader and modem.

And as soon as I post these system image based ROMs, I figure out the problem with the "normal" directory based ROMs we all know and love.
Seems Samsung added some scripts to prevent us from having fun (I told you it was a permission thing loser ).
I don't know what these scripts do specifically because they are encrypted, but we all know what they are intended to do.
These are the scripts found in /system/etc:
boot_fixup
selinux_restore
Attached is a pic of my deodexed file system.
I will test this for a little while, then upload. :good:

Been waiting for this for a while, I kind of like touchwiz thanks man maybe I'll give it a try when it's a little easier to flash

Can't wait to be off work and give this a shot on mj2 boot loader and modem. Thank you for the hard work and glad to see you guys figuring this out.
If WiFi isn't working on mj2 boot loader and modem for people just a thought but maybe the mj2 kernel with the ROM could work a little magic.

Update
Good News: Removing these files allows the deodexed ROM to boot.
boot_fixup
selinux_restore
Bad News: No wifi, data, or IMEI.
Good News: Flashing one of the ROMs in the OP restores wifi, data, and IMEI.
Bad News: selinux_restore seems to be the bad actor in terms of not letting the ROM boot and preventing all data usage.
Bad News: selinux_restore is encrypted, which prevents us from knowing what it does.
Good News: Lots of good devs and power users for this device. We'll get things fixed proper.
I'll upload the deodexed debloat version as well as the two files mentioned above to give everyone a chance to play.

It's just a ROM (no bootloader, radio, etc). It won't prevent you from doing anything.

Both odexed versions work perfectly. If you read the first post that you quoted you will see that the deodexed version is till a WIP. It works fine, except for the no wifi and data thing.
I can't speak authoritatively about bootloader requirements because I have the official bootloader from the OTA. But most likely you will need a 4.3 bootloader and radio for everything to work as with the 4.3 leak. The biggest risk is that something won't work properly (aside from the normal risks associated with flashing any ROM). If that's the case you just restore a backup or reflash whatever ROM you were on before.

I would guess the MJB modem is required. Weird that you guys have data but not wifi.
I thought @RockRatt pulled one, but I can't find a zip. If he didn't, I'll pull one tonight.

Thanks for the update loser, so for flashing the above we require to be on the updated bootloader/Firmware? I don't want to loose the ability to flash older 4.1.2 but as the same time want to use 4.3. LOL
So can we be on the older bootloader/firmware 4.1.2? I am happy to flash anything until the downgrade is possible

You can flash it on the 4.1.2 bootloader but things like wifi probably won't work until you upgrade. I haven't tested this, but you should be able to flash 4.1.2 roms on the 4.3 bootloader, but once again, it might break things like wifi. I don't think any of the 4.1.2 roms include bootloaders so you should be fine.
I think there's some confusion about the term "downgrading". It's strictly bootloaders that you can't downgrade. So if you want to go back to stock, DON"T flash the 4.1.1 stock tar, but if you want to use 4.1.2 roms, you can. You can mess with the system and boot partitions without causing issues. Not sure why people want to go back to 4.1.2 though, as 4.3 is solid as is, let alone all of the modding that's about to happen.

[Q] Switching ROMS?

hi i have a note 2 sgh-I317m and im currently on CleanRom 5.0
ive been looking at the new Ditto rom for note 2 and i want to switch, but is there a certain process i have to go through to switch? or can i just upgrade on top of cleanrom atm?

You should follow the op's (developer) instructions..Some of these 4.3 roms want you to flash a file for the 4.3 bootloader...I'd read the instructions very carefully and read as many post as you can because more then usual you'll face the same issues they had...
good luck

If your on 4.1.2 you will need to either flash the att I317 leak if your on att it's on post 226 in the general forum att 4.3 leak or flash a 4.3 bootloader as per the ops instruction in the rom you want. Both use Odin. If you pick the first option it will wipe your device and make you fully stock. So it will require you to root again and flash twrp. The up side it's the most stable way. The second uses Odin to flash. Some have reported problems. Read through the first few pages of the rom to see the issues.

OTA will only work with a stock 3e recovery...
But taking a factory update over the top of a rooted rom is not a good idea...
Backups are done with a custom recovery...and yes...you need to start reading and learning the proper steps or you will end up making a paper weight..... g

Go to http://SamMobile.com and download the 4.3 Tmobile M919 USA stock official rom.
Odin flash the stock rom and be sure to do a full wipe before flashing.
Always make a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing anything.
Good luck!

Or you could download a CWM-flashable stock/rooted ROM from the Android Development section and flash that. Which ones are stock/rooted? Read the OP. The information will be there. Be sure to update your modem as well.

Take in count that by flashing the MK2 stock tar you will end up with the knox bootloader. If you trip the knox flag you will not be entitled to warranty work. If that does not matter to you, then go ahead and flash ;b
Your best bet to prevent this is to get a stock rom cwm flashable that does not include the bootloader.

thanks everyone.
just so i'm clear (i already soft bricked my phone), you all suggest getting the cwm stock rom and update my modem first?

If I remember right, once on 4.3 you can no longer use the free unlock method. You will have to buy a code online. If you have a T999, you can try flashing the 4.1.1 modem and see if you can do it though. You wont get any signal if you are on a 4.3 rom until you flash back to the 4.3 modem btw.

You dont need to be rooted, but you do need a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) in order to flash the modem. I never made any odin flashable packages for the modems, only recovery flashable.
Just so you know, flashing a custom recovery will void your warranty if its still valid and you care about that.

Thanks bro, I don't care about warranty.... So all I have to do now is flash a recovery then flash the modem, hmm wonder if anyone has ever got it to work like that before tho.... If it doesn't tho can u recommend a cheap unlocking site please

All I remember for sure is that on 4.1.2, samsung patched against this unlock method, but we were still able to flash the 4.1.1 modem and unlock. In 4.3, you cant use an older modem or youll get no signal, but Im just not sure if you can still use the free unlock method that way.
Ebay had several very cheap options at one point. Also, http://gsmliberty.net has/had(?) a promo where if you posted a video of yourself unlocking using their method they would refund you your money, essentially making it free. Not sure if that is still valid though.

There were several mentions of specific sellers that only charged a few bucks in the unlock thread if you want to dig in to find them.

Any 4.1.1 modem, as long as its one for your model device. If you wanted you could see if flashing a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom would make a difference, but as before, I kinda doubt it will.
When we were updated to 4.1.2, and found that the unlock method was patched, all we had to do was flash an older modem. Didnt matter what build it was from.

[Q] GPS does not work

Hello
I have SGH-M919. First, it had stock ROM, stock firmware, and it was SIM locked to T-Mobile, so I unlocked it with SRS server service (I live outside the US, so labs in my area didn't have the tools to unlock it, since it's only a US variant. Also, other methods of unlocking did not work for me, unfortunately).
In the unlocking process I had to flash custom modem file with Odin (it was required for SRS to work). After that, I flashed CWM and CM11 and everything worked fine except the GPS. It didn't work: no GPS satellites were found.
How can I resolve this issue? Thanks.

Go to the CyanogenMob forum. There are threads asking the same question regarding CM11

If it might be the modem or kernel then you can try re flashing the modem or trying a new kernel. You'll see a lot of GPS issues being asked about in the CM threads, tho.

Just flash the stock modem since you said it was modified, unless its still needed.. However, many users have lost GPS after flashing aosp/cm.. The fix is simple. First make a nandroid backup, flash a touchwiz ROM, get a GPS lock, and then restore your nandroid.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I already tried flashing stock rom but GPS didn't work (it did work before the unlocking), so it has to be a modem problem. I couldn't find a stock modem file anywhere.
Currently I'm downloading another stock ROM, so I will be able to bring up lbstestmode which might fix my issue.
EDIT:
The new stock ROM works fine, and the GPS was able to find signal. So, I as ou suggested and recovered the Nandroid I made before through the recovery, but now I can't find GPS again. What can I do?

I'm not talking about the modem, but firmware, it will flash the modem in the process and you can flash it with your bootloader.. Like I said, if you experience problems but so far you haven't seemed to

Before I flashed the correct modem files, I flashed the latest stock firmware from Sammobile which I believe contains the NB4 modem. The GPS still didn't work, only the Mk2 modem works for me

That firmware is buggy, fenny's NB4 firmware is the one you want

Still, the MK2 firmware just works better for me.
Also, if I can't flash the fixed NB4 firmware because the bootloader has Knox, how will it help me if I install the non-fixed version (which is included in the firmware)? I'd be stuck with the bad NB4! There's no way to install the fixed NB4 if I have bootloader with Knox, if I understand this whole thing correctly.
P.S I am not intending to argue or anything, I am just writing what happened to me. So, if someone has the same problem and he googles it he will be able to find some useful info that took me about 2 days to find (and your generous help in this thread, of course!

The firmware will flash with your bootloader.. anyway everything is working for you so there is no need to. If in the future you change your mind or have problems PM me and I will explain or help you with it

Same here

I noticed that I was getting bad cellular reception in an area that should have full mobile coverage. So I flashed the 4.4.2 fixed BN4 modem and the reception is way better (from one bar to 3 or 4), and the GPS is still working.
So, the BN4 modem did flash although I have bootloader with Knox (so it isn't supposed to work according the the modem thread)
P.S. I'm quite confused. Sorry for the noob question, but what's the difference between ROM and firmware? Is the firmware just a package which includes the ROM, bootloader and modem?
