[Q] format() expects 5 args, got 3 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Ok, so I want to flash my note 2 to a custom rom with note 3 s pen feature. I was inattentive and installed the following rom in the following order
DN3_v3.2_by_E-Team_(Vegeta_Edition)
Hurricane_V9.2_DDUENA1_MD5_BC19455598C33E9D4D93B5514B851EEB
it was then i realized the above rom is not for the sgh-t889 model and was for some other model. but by then it was too late. i tried to install the correct rom which is from the link : youtube.com/watch?v=qopRVFsJTiI
with this rom
Sky_Note_Air G1.5
but I kept on getting this error
"format() expects 5 args, got 3"
In Philz recovery, i do these following between each attempted flash.
recovery wipe data/factory reset and then clean to install a new rom
install zip and then choose the roms to install
the first time i flash DN3, it was successful but Sim does not work and also the s pen
and then i flashed hurricane and it also works but sim and s pen also does not work
after that the DN3 always freeze in the middle of installation particularly in the terms agreement's step
hurricane always flash successfully
I research this error but I am really confused. my hypothesis why i can't flash sky note is because i wiped the system in hurricane so the args was set to 3 and that may be why DN3 always freeze and why hurricane always work but not for sky note or any other t889 compatiable rom.
please help me. I really dont want to get a new phone if i can help

Im using DN3 on my T889. There are threads in the Q&A Section already regarding this.
But since im already here..
If you wish to continues to use DN3 on your Tmobile Note 2. You will need
1. Flash TMobiles newest radio. Which is the MK7. A simple search on various Roms OPs should help you find it.
2. If you havent updated to 4.3 officially then you'll need to flash 1 of the 3..
A. Devil Kernel
B. AGNi Kernel
C. Wifi Patch
Again...doing a little research on various Tmobile 4.3 Roms will help you out.

No offense and I really appreciate your help but I have no idea what MK7 is. I am a noob at this and I really need to know what each item means especially since I don't know where to start in the first place.
I searched MK7 and all i get was support for other devices.
I used recovery on my note 2 to the official firmware which is 4.3 but I can't call (Baseband version is unknown).
I pretty much given up on getting note 3 s pen feature on my note 2 since all these is really difficult for me. So if i can just get back my ability to call and text (pretty much back to original state) would be great
I don't know what those links means. Can't you just point me to the links where i can download the items i need and give me the instruction?
I'm willing to give 20 or 40 bucks to the person (via paypal) who help me the most if that is allow.

This is S.W.A.R.M Rom. Its a debloated
T- Mobile 4.3 Rom. Read the very first post (we call it OP or Original Post).
Read it. Download everything it says to.

when i tried to flash that rom, i got the same error "expect 5 arg, got 3"
only the dn3 (which freezes) ; hurricane that flashes but can't call ; recovery to official 4.3 but can't call either seems to bypass that error.

ok, so i can always revert back to official 4.3 as a last resort
the tmobile modem cleared the call problem so that's good.
now i want to be able to install hurricane (since that's the only rom that has the note 3's s pen feature that was able to flash completely) with the s pen feature working (the pen can't move the screen at all).
so any ideas why the s pen doesnt work in hurricane?

I never tried hurricane. Only DN3 and it works flawlessly for me. Once the Rom and kernel settles you'll have less freezes or random reboots.
I did have one freeze today but it was my first one in 3 weeks and I was using my phone heavy.

did you use philz_touch or openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-t0lte?

Im using TWRP 2.6.0.3. I haven't updated my recovery since I flashed it.

i know what is the problem

all the roms are good.
the philz recovery is the culprit. after i flashed twrp i am able to flash dn3.1 with everything working (except the air command with the pen but that i can live without).
anyways thanks. to anyone with similar problems, always use twrp instead of philtz
dn3.1 can be install by itself but dn3.2 can't (need kernal to use pen but modem can't make phone make calls)
Do you know how to enable air command with s pen function (I know i have to hover on phone and press button, what i meant was is there a setting i have to enable or install something)?

I would suggest not to update to the 3.2. But it's up to you.
Then reflash the MK7 Modem and/or flash Devil Kernel if you need Wifi working.
And to enable Air Command: Settings > Controls and turn on the feature..

thank you dude

[Q] why is the stock att rom the only one nobody has?

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.

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.
normally i'm not such a blabbermouth with posting, but i need to get up to 10 so i can post links. then you might not hear from me as much unless i actually have something of value to contribute.

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!

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.

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?

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

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?

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!?

[Q] Hello, I don't know what is happening with my Note 2 right now... (Possible noob)

Hello! This is my first post on xda as I have usually been able to find a resolution in one of the already asked questions but I might have just played with my note 2 not knowing what I was really doing a little bit too much.
So I'll try and say everything I've done to make it easier to help me.
I bought the phone and I was happy using GoLauncher and stuff but then stumbled upon rooting and custom roms and being able to get new rom releases that aren't out on the N7100 yet.
So this was all good and well flashing ProBam, Cyanongen Mod, Cerberus, Dr Ketans Rom... and when I had finished having my fun.. I flashed a stock rom and went back to using that, however, the other night I flashed Philz Touch 5 and tried to flash a custom rom that I had downloaded previously. ( Well I tried to flash about 5) These were Echoe rom, Hurricaine rom, Dr Ketans rom, Official stock rom and I can't remember the other.
However, all of these roms came up with the '(Bad) Installation aborted' message on cwm, so now through whatever I've done (i think i flashed original root "CFAutoRoot" through odin' I don't have cwm anymore but i CAN access the system menu, download mode and as far as getting on to the actual phone goes, it get's stuck on the 'SAMSUNG GALAXY Note II GT-N7100' screen, and I read a thread (poet) saying that you may have to wait 20 minutes and not be impatient, so I left the phone for 7 hours (to no luck). I am really stressing out and I cannot find a fix to this!
I am currently trying to extract AP_N7100XXUEM16_CP_N7100XXEM16_CSC_N7100XAEM16_BY_WVAZ_DINK.zip with password 'wagnervaz' and it just keeps getting stuck whilst extracting so...
anyhoo I REALLY NEED HELP
I've tried so much and please don't tell me to 'wipe cache, factory reset/wipe data' cause that just doesn't work I've done it about 1 million times and I honestly don't even know what state my phone is in right now, it probably looks like the containment field from beyond two souls inside.
I hope to hear from one of you very clever guys soon, and thank you so much in advance!:good:

Wooeesssss

It was perfect, a match made in heaven!
I had the Dirty Unicorn mod installed on my phone with all the modem drivers working, all my software configured. But.... it seems there were some old CWM backup files left on the SD card which were taking up a bunch of space. So i backed up my system and formatted the sd card, and when i reboot i got the "missing modem" problem, where nothing modem related works. After several attempts I was able to restore the ASOP rom and install the modem driver zip immediately after the rom in CWM recovery.
But i was missing all my settings and apps. So i thought hey, i got it to work, i should be able to run my restore again. Nope... screwed, and now i cannot even do the first fix. nothing is working.
o if any one has any tips, i would greatly appreciate it!
Tmobile T889
Running Dirty Unicorn ASOP 4.4.2 (was really loving this rom)
I am getting the "Signal Strength 2147483647 dBm 255asu" issue, and thus there is no connectivity.
My SD card is working

Why don't you try looking for your modem online. The phone should be able to flash the modem in recovery mode. Im assuming you have a tmobile note 2 so try looking for tmobile ntoe 2 modems. There is a forum post that has the modems on it.

Alright,
I just installed slimkat (it is 4.4 but only a 140 meg file) and the modem is still not working. Now it says 0db, and i tried flashing the modem.
I also switched to TWRP in case CW was the problem. But this did not work either.
the Tmobile stock version is over a gig, and here in the nether regions of the planet the connection is very slow. So ill have to go to town and have someone download it for me.
I can sing the praises of the DU mod all day long, it is pretty and super fast/smooth! Great mod features and hacks. It was working perfectly, but my SD card reported having only 2 gigs free, and after formatting it has 10 gigs free but no modem function
i cannot even run USSD codes!!!

Damn bro that sucks. I get fast good signal and lte so I would only take 20-30 minutes to download.
I would flash asop roms but I eventually switch back to touchwiz. Mostly due to the fact that I like using my headset and I need aifi calling for certain places. And the last 4.4 rom I had was omni rom but I would lose root. Dn3 rom is the best touchwiz rom but unfortunately no wifi calling

Haha I dont think so bro. Odin should be able to fix it. As long as you havent ota update to 4.3 you should be fine. If you dont need wifi calling give DN3 rom a try. Just follow the post and it should go smooth. Just dont reboot and install mk7 modem. DN3 is cool because it has Note 3 features

Hmm did you try to odin it. Odin back to stock and try to reinstall the rom. Hopefully that should work
that is the next plan of action, but it is going to take two days to download, esp with all the power outages in Nepal

ooh damn that sucks. Hopefully you get your phone fixed
Protip if you don't already do this: especially with frequent power outages or unreliable internet connections, check your MD5 or SHA1 checksums when you download ROMs before flashing them.
On Windows, you can use md5sum in Cygwin or Hashtab (which is a Windows Explorer extension that give you a tab in a file's properties). On Linux, most distros have the binaries included by default.

Q&A,help,and troubleshooting for Moar 2.1 ultimate note 5 hybrid rom

Unofficial help page
This is a fabulous rom please discuss any issues and questions here...
I'll start...
I came from sac 23 note 5 hybrid rom and using Antutu I was getting avg 70,000 score
With this rom best I've managed is 65,000
If I didn't feel a difference it wouldn't matter. But I definitely feel this is running a little slower
Any advice? I had both with same setup and apps
I'm using the zerolemon kernel (beast mode?)
Update. I ran antutu again and got my highest score yet so ...with no one else mentioning it seeming slower it seems it just maybe chrome beta.
I played with synapse and rom toolbox etc for kernel CPU tweaks before but really don't want to break anything or sacrifice any more battery life. So now my question is. Should I have not removed the stock chrome app that came with this rom? Did this break something or was that version tweaked specifically for this rom? I will to reinstall chrome beta and see if it preforms better.
Update... I think it is just xda being slow ?driving me nuts
Another question I have is about the launcher install via aroma(ive never had a aroma installed rom so that was a treat. Thanks tx)
I use smart launcher. can I reflash zip and remove the stock launcher to save some ram? Any suggestions on which of those uses the least resources running behind smart launcher? could I go back and run the stock launcher In easy mode to save resources?
People are mentioning camera modes they would like to download and I read that if you try to download them normally you will end up with the note5 versions which will not work.
If we rename the device back to sm-n910p in build prop would that help? Would it hurt anything else?
Dual camera mode apk hasn't been available anywhere in stuff that was already shared, does anyone have it?
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Free mobile app

I went into camera>modes>download aND saw thedual camera mode. I remember having that on my note2. Anyways I changed my device to sm-n910p in build prop and did that again and it(dual camera mode) no longer comes up in the Samsung store. I will try to download a mode and test now. I know this doesn't help you with the dual camera apk but maybe it will help someone else find an answer.
Update: install failed on any downloaded camera mode from samsung

Question regarding Coming from Ultimate to MOAR
Hello to all. I am on Ultimate Note 5 Hybrid. My question is , do I have to do the suggested ok1 steps. The reason I ask is that I am using smart switch to back up as much as I can and is says I am On "OK3 (XAS)". Am I god to go if I just wipe and format? I understand I have to do the battery pull. But the Calls, Data and GPS has me a little concerned. I had no issues at all on Ultimate Note 5 Port. NONE.
Blessings and thank you in advance for your replies.

What apps are running and how many installed when you run Antutu? I was able to get a score of 68,581 on mine with first run, MOAR 2.1A BEASTMODE kernel with only some MOAR UI tweaks and few programs running.

It is always best to follow OP exactly. If it is required to be on OK1 you need to update to OK1. If you do not, you will surely run into many unnecessary problems.
All apps closed and greenified only system apps I. Background and I debloat all I can. Ive since gotten 73000. Just a glitch perhaps. I'm on 2.1b beast mode zerolemon
I have noticed my camera doesn't work on low power when it is supposed to. Anyone else?
Good to go

Anyone have any luck with xda app or tapatalk? Website is ridiculously slow. Any other forum apps recommended for xda?
On Tx's rooted PD1 Rom. Is an MM version of this rom in the works? I am tempted to try this one, in the mean time.
What would be the steps to get on to it? Can I flash OK from MM? Would a newer version of Odin than mentioned in the OP work? How about a newer version of TWRP?
Would I need to Odin the OK version of Lollipop, or just the Baseband and firmware I have seen floating around?
For future reference, do you Odin them, or can you flash them in recovery?
If I flash back to the older stock rom, and then flash this rom, how do I get rooted again? Does this rom Self root? Would I have to use odin to reinstall TWRP? Then flash supersu in recovery?
So many questions. This rom looks so configurable and retains the multiwindow, TW stuff. I am dying to flash something new.
TIA for response!

Hope that helps. PE1 pre-rooted by tx_dbs_tx and debloated of Play Store install-able apps. Post #27 tells you he MAY make a MOAR port for MM. Post #45 states he IS working on a new N5/S7 port. Post #57 explains WHY following his instructions in OP is so important. His post on #145 confirms he is working on an N5 port, a N5/S7 port, and a MOAR 3.3 ROM. *Tips hat to tx_dbs_tx
I apologize if I came off rude in my response, that was not my intentions. I was just pointing you in the right direction to address your questions.
As for your questions about going back to OK1, you can flash the baseband and firmware through Odin - but if you are going to Odin in reverse, why not the whole tar is my question. Freeza is the one who provided us the basebands and firmware *Tips hat to Freeza
If you Odin the whole tar, you would have to Odin TWRP again and then you can either flash a custom ROM or flash SuperSU *Tips hat to Chainfire
Tx_dbs_tx's ROMs are pre-rooted though, so if you Odin the firmware and baseband for OK1 by Freeza, you could then just flash this ROM over it. I wouldn't recommend a dirty flash, however, because Lollipop and MM are SO different you could run into some issues.
Thanks for the response and all the info.
I got the Note 4 as a replacement when my N3 broke.
Was on an HTC EVO of some flavor, a while back. We were happily mixing and matching various components of updates until we got a nasty surprise with bricks. I can't remember the details, Just had to be careful and make sure what we were doing. So, now I am careful.

The best thing about Samsung, in my opinion, is it is VERY hard to brick them. You would literally have to Odin the completely incorrect ROM for it to brick - or so has been my experience. I love my note 4 and probably won't be changing it until it dies completely and there are no replacements.

I went ahead and went through the process. Was in a boot loop when I got through with flashing OK1. Wen't into the stock recovery and did a factory reset and did the odin thing again. think I used the wrong slot. It worked anyway.
followed the op, step by step. Made a backup in recovery as soon as I got it booted, Been setting it up to taste, all seems to be working as advertised,so far!
Thanks for the extra confirmation!
