[Q] Switching ROMS? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

Can i do a OTA update on my phone or will that not work? and whats the best way to back up your phone before doing all this?

Definitely read and read some more before you jump into something.

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

How do I go back to stock? Not stock modem.

Okay so I want to flash back to stock but I realized that my bootloader is not the stock one. I flashed the modem to the newest one before. My bootloader is I747MVLUEMK5. I've heard people sat that i cannot go back to stock just straight flashing with Odin now that I have a different modem. What procedures do I need to take to flash back to stock?

I apologize. MK5 is a problematic bootloader. Do not try to Odin flash an older firmware over this. Again I apologize. What carrier are you with? If it is a Canadian carrier you can just flash the appropriate firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558311. These have the bootloader removed.

Alright. I already have a stock ROM before and the name of it includes MK5 for TLS. I'm thinking that would work? The exact name is "I747MVLUEMK5_I747MOYBEMK5_I747MVLUEMK5_HOME.tar.md5". No problem, good thing I didn't flash it LOL. Thanks for your help.

That is the correct one, Backup everything you need off your phone as Odin will wipe everything. nLeaving an external SD in is OK, but the internal memory will get wiped.

I've only used stock and CM11 so far since 4.3. The I've not tried Liquid Smooth but Grievous ROM is pretty good. It's the ROM currently on my wife's phone. It is white themed Touchwiz which was my biggest selling point.

I don't think that is compatible with the i747m no?
Oh and also, let's say I want to get Liquid Smooth onto my phone but I currently have Quantum. Do I have to flash back to stock with Odin and then install the Liquid Smooth ROM? Or can I just go and wipe the system now in recovery without going to stock and then install Liquid Smooth in recovery?
Grievous is compatible with the 747m. Im on 747m Bell. You just need to flash a modem and kernel to get data and wifi to work. As far as liquid smooth, you do not need to go back to stock. Installing the ROM and then wiping should work. If you do find that you ever flash a ROM and have WiFi issues, kernel is likely culprit. No data is usually due to a modem. These seem to be more often with new ROMs and most development based off AT&T phones.

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?

Help Updating (Sorry for noob question)

hey guys have been out of the modding life for a long time now since HTC Amaze came out on market and ive had nexus' (galaxy nexus) since then. i had a quick question. my sister passed down to me a S3 T-Mobile one. its on 4.1.1 and i had at the time put in CWM long time ago as i was gonna flash custom roms but never got around to it (i did this with the help of a youtube video.) now i have this device the Volume UP button doesnt work which is essential to go into download mode... how would i go about updating this to the latest 4.3 Firmware? if there are any detailed steps id really appreciate them. Sorry i know it sucks to get noob posts like these but i have done a bit of research and i cant seem to ask the right questions on google! thanks
btw just for though im switching from nexus 4 to s3 just cause i dont need the power from the n4 and i just want the s3 screen
so i think i found the piece i think its here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/T-Mobile-Gal...cement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d14d4fdbd&_uhb=1
is there a demo on how to do it or should i take it to Pacific Mall and get someone to do it? how much would it cost anyways?
You only need volume up to enter recovery.. volume down is for download mode.. anyway there are apps that can get you to download or recovery mode as long as you are rooted.. you could do that meanwhile or just wait till you fix the button.. really all you have to do is flash a 4.3 rom and modem in recovery, no need to update the whole firmware
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Being on 4.1.1, itd probably be a good idea to update the firmware. Thats just my opinion though.
You can root without volume up working, and or flash roms like serio said.
As for fixing it though, if you are good working on electronics and have good manual dexterity, you could probably do this yourself. But the advantage of taking it to a shop is if they screw it up theyd probably have to replace or reimburse you for it.

what if i want to flash cyanogenmod11? is there any step by step? i dont want to brick this phone
do i have to update baseband?
First thing is to get rooted. Easiest way is to flash the root66 firmware via odin. Now decide if you want to use cwm/twrp recovery, or Mobile Odin to flash your rom.
If you want to use recovery, use goo manager or rom manager from the store to install the recovery. Then from the app choose reboot recovery and flash your rom. Factory reset after and reboot. Thats it.
You may need to update your firmware to at least 4.1.2. I think cm had issues running on older firmware.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
isnt cm going to be 4.4.2? hwo do i update ? im fully rooted and running CWM 6.0.4.5 Touch ^^ dont know about TWRP but ive been using CWM for the longest time before so i trust it
If you want to skip updating firmware, just flash the rom from cwm. If it errors out youll need to update to at least 4.1.2 (official or root66) via Odin.

Go to the firmware thread stickies in development (and linked in my Sig). Download the 4.1.2 firmware (or 4.3 if you choose, up to you), and flash using PC Odin.
Mobile Odin, while awesome in its own right, cannot update your boot loader and other important parts of the firmware needed by CM.

For warranty there haven't been reports of denial, but don't know about trading it in.. I don't think they will check though
Why not just factory reset? Probably the easiest way if you just want stock.

update from SS odexed 4.1.1 to atleast 4.1.2??

Mods: i searched and searched but couldnt find a clear answer so i had to ask..
Need help updating my S3 that i have as my extra phone which i hardly ever used lately since upgrading to the note 2 then Note3
It's currently on rom : SS odexed Blue Holly Grail 2.5 LJ7 4.1.1 baseband LJ7
I haven't modded this phone in a very long time.. I see that there is now 4.4 roms available and been searching over and over on how to go from this rom to a higher version of android.. everything i keep finding is either outdated and links are no longer available.. or the options to update are from 4.3 to 4.4 but im still on 4.1.2
I also need to upgrade to atleast to 4.1.2 so that i am able to flash this phone to page plus and the steps/guide and programs that i will be using required that..
1) Do i need to go back to stock rom first ?
2) Is there a One click Odin zip to go back to stock
3) is there a One click Odin zip to upgrade ?
Dont really care about having to be rooted on this phone as this is just my second line and my NOTE 3 is properly customized...
Please help..

2) Is there a One click Odin zip to go back to stock
3) is there a One click Odin zip to upgrade ?
Dont really care about having to be rooted on this phone as this is just my second line and my NOTE 3 is properly customized...
Please help..
TIA.

Start here since most ROMs require the KK bootloader:

No, just use Odin to flash the stock ND8 ROM, then flash your custom recovery. Boot into ROM ( it'll take a while ) update PRL and profile, then flash another ROM if you want
