Flash your device with stock 4.1.2 via Odin and then flash a version of 4.2.2 which is prior to the 97mb update. Then you can use GENNXT or Pyramid K3 which are TW based ROMS
Kitkat based ROMs are stable upto a mark but not bug free. CM11, CosmicCM and IOS 7 Aspiration have dual SIM with small bugs.

Check Samsung updates .com
Regarding flashing via odin if its 1 file .tar file than select PDA in odin select .tar file it will use approx 1GB..tick Auto reboot F reset before see COM icon and status If connected properly it will show added then go to the download mode (POWER+VOLDOWN+HOME BUTTON) then again volume up to continue and then start flashing...
2) after flashing CWM will be removed and even root access. .

So, installing a custom ROM won't delete your contacts, but a factory wipe which is essential before installing a custom ROM will erase your contacts. So you should keep a back up for future use. I am not explaining how to do that. Also if you need to revert back to the stock ROM u use now you can create a Nandroid backup to external SD card, also just in case if u mess up with installation. Most importantly you need to backup your EFS partition. You should keep this backup for ever, because its necessary if you lose your IMEI number.
And all about keeping data after flashing, its your wish, if u want the data, keep it or delete it. And to know if the data is backed up, see the app u use to backup or check the storage to which u backup.

[Q] How to restore efs files created while installing hawkish rom to note 2

hello folks!
I was on hawkish rom which was based on android 4.1.2 but few days back i flashed the new leaked mi6 rom on my note 2 but now i want to go back to android 4.1.2 instead of 4.3 as there are no roms available right now which gives pure android experience for MI6 based rom.
Whenever i try to flash any custom rom like slim bean, i couldn't make calls or do any network related task with my phone. A error comes " not registered on network"
At times also, my imei changes with different roms.
right now i have the backup of my efs.
But i dont know what to do with that. The efs file is in .gz.tar format which is about 5kb in size. when I decompress that the file size changes to roughly about 5 mb. . Help me in restoringmy efs files so that i can install some old roms.
ps. the phone is working without any flaw on leaked MI6 rom.

since you used a zip file.. you can flash another zip and go back to 4.1.2 as you dont have the New Bootloader.. just backup ur efs partitions and thn wipe the whole system and flash the 4.1.2 rom..

Help for first time Note 2 user.

Hello. I just ordered my galaxy note 2 N7100 Int. version(not the n7105 lte one). I live in Greece and the phone should have arrived by 15-20 January. Even though I'm not an android noob and im using android for 2-3 years and made my own ROMs as well, I have no clue how Samsung phones work. So I would like a detailed guide please about the steps I'm will mention:
*What is the latest official firmware I can install on my N7100? How can I do that?(I'm not familiar with OTA's)
*How can I root that firmware? What is the best option for rooting it?(chainfire etc but give details on how to do it with those methods)
*Do I need to unlock my bootloader to install custom recovery and flash a rom?If so how can I do that?
*Is Philz recovery fully working and compatible with 4.4+ ROMs? If so how can I install it? If not whats the best recovery with support for 4.4+ ROMs?
*What is the best ROM with the features of Note 3?(stable no bugs good for gaming) How can I install that ROM?
*What is the best 4.4 ROM?(stable no bugs good for gaming) How can I install that ROM?
*How do I backup my IMEI?
*What is the procedure to install a ROM?(on my old phone it was : 1)Backup 2)Factory reset 3)Wipe cache,dalvik cache, system, data, and again format cache 4)Install ROM 5)Install GAPPS and reboot. Done. Are there any differences here?
I wont buy a new phone for the next 1-2 years at least so I wont my new phone to be safe when playing with custom ROMs. If you are about to comment without a detailed guide or at least telling me where to look for that guide dont comment at all, it wont help me.Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.
Too many questions to answer and therefore I recommend to go to the Development section for further information. Each Rom has its own install instructions, just read there and learn more about your device :good:
You can't get spoonfed here, sorry mate.
To try to answer just a few... really too many questions, you need to read a bit before posting so many questins
*What is the latest official firmware I can install on my N7100? How can I do that?(I'm not familiar with OTA's)
MKD - Indian, MK9 - european, ML3 - asian. They all work on any int 7100 model.
*Do I need to unlock my bootloader to install custom recovery and flash a rom?If so how can I do that?
You just have to root.
*What is the best ROM with the features of Note 3?(stable no bugs good for gaming) How can I install that ROM?
Most popular are DN3 and Phoenix (also maybe DR Ketan's custom ROM, but it isn't developed anymore). I personaly use Criskelo which is really stable and smooth.
*What is the procedure to install a ROM?(on my old phone it was : 1)Backup 2)Factory reset 3)Wipe cache,dalvik cache, system, data, and again format cache 4)Install ROM 5)Install GAPPS and reboot. Done. Are there any differences here?
In Phils's recovery (I recommend v 5.15, not v 6.x - because of Aroma bug) you do "prepare for ROM flashing" and then flash ROM. Erasing dalvik/system/cache etc can't hurt but is not necessary, all is done in one go. From ODIN - go to download mode, connect to PC, run ODIN and select md5 file to flash.

Hey @dalanik thanks for your quick answer. I have some more questions for you. First of all, are 4.4+ roms stable for this phone for daily use and gaming? Is Philz recovery 5.15 compatible with 4.4+ roms? How do I root my device(latest official firmware) and how do I use ODIN(why is odin needed, what is odin doing)?What about backing up my IMEI? Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried 4.4 ROMs so I don't knpw. As for rooting just have a look at the forum there are several threads on rooting. Odin flashes ROMs.

What should I use to flash roms, odin or recovery(twrp, cwm etc)?
Actually Odin can be used to flash I.e. bootloader which recovery can't. Odon is used to flash official Samsung stock ROMs in md5 format while recovery is used fir custom ROMs mostly with the Aroma installer.

So to flash Phoenix ROM or DN3 or any KK ROM I dont need ODIN correct?
I think if youre on 4.1.2 you need to flash new bootloader. Each rom has instructions so hav3 a look at rom thread

First when arrives your phone see the firmware version, if it has 4.3 and flash custom recovery firmware etc you loose your warranty and for the moment is not possible to take warranty back. If your firmware is 4.1.2 the things are more simple you can flash everything (except 4.3 official bootloader also 4.3 official firmware witch includes bootloader) and have when you need your warranty back.
All your answers are in the forum search for start dr.ketan threads. You can start from here (old thread but very good writed for 4.1.2 there are some differences with 4.3 you have to check before act for example mobile Odin trigger the warranty at 4.3 also triangle away cannot affect knox etc etc)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
he has plenty of guides solutions etc and I think you will find many answers for your questions. Now if your phone is at 4.1.2 firmware and you want to flash 4.3, root etc or 4.3 custom rom (not all) repost to guide you how to flash and also have your warranty back.

Hello @dalanik, @vagsvag I just got my Note 2(Italy version) GT-N7100. Here's the details from the settings menu
*Android 4.1.2(gives me the ability to update to 4.3)
*Baseband N7100XXDMF1
*Kernel 3.0.31-1071214
*Build number JZO54K.N7100XXDME6
The phone is COMPLETELY stock, no root no custom recovery nothing. Can you please give me full instructions on how to install this ROM please?
About 4.4 ROMs, i have tried them.
Things that don't work:
- Bluetooth ear piece???
- Camera is not 100% stable
- I don't have sound when recording videos (Could be just me, no one else is mentioning it )
- Bad FPS in games (tried many kernels and governors, still bad. AGAIN, could be just me, no one else is mentioning it )
And that's it.
For DN3
- Root
- Flash recovery (TWRP my choice)
- Full wipe (data,system,internal storage,cache)
- Flash DN3 (you will now get a bootloop)
- Flash it ONE MORE TIME,
There is something wrong with AROMA installer, if you look closely it doesn't install the ROM for the 1st time, hence the bootloop.
Also, you DON'T NEED TO FLASH the new bootloader. I'm on the DMG1 bootloader and i'm running DN3.
If you don't flash the bootloader, you have to flash the Wi-Fi fix, to get the Wi-Fi working.
You may also experience a reboot once in a week or 2 weeks, it's random.
I personally don't want to flash the BL, because i'm terrified of ODIN. I have a bad history with it :laugh:

I don't know about Philz i had it before TWRP but that was before DN3 existed =D
I found no bugs in DN3, its a bit slower than 4.1.2 and the ram usage is higher
You flash the bootloader through ODIN too but i cant help you about that i don't know
Once you root your phone download an app called Quick Boot which will allow you to access Download and Recovery modes with one click

 @Androidwizzard @dalanik @vagsvag
I successfully rooted my device with CF and ODIN and now I installed latest Philz recovery as well.
One last question.. I'm now on official 4.1.2(again xD)and like I have said again I want to install DN3 ROM.. What bootloader do I need to flash to get DN3 to work?How do I know what bootloader Im using right now?
What I think the procedure is
1)Install 4.3 bootloader while running 4.1.2
2)Make a backup with Philz recovery
3)Full wipe and install 4.3 DN3 ROM.
Is this correct? Dont forget to answer the other things I asked you!! Thanks in advance!!

There is only ONE bootloader you can flash that is KNOX-Free, and that is MJ5. All other bootloaders have KNOX. Do not use Wi-Fi fix as that will fix your Wi-fi but may introduce instability, reboots, etc. Well, not the Fix, the fix is fine, but the rest of the old bootloader. Just flash MJ5.
I'd do backup FIRST and then flash bootloader.

FIRST of ALL: Don't use the latest Philz, RUN 5.15 is the best way to flash 4.3 custom roms with Aroma installer!
As mentioned: You got to take MJ5 if you ever want to go back to stock 4.1.2 at any time, besides you won't have wifi issue.
Only way to change bootloader: PC Odin.
Befor starting to install a custom rom read the instructions on the OP of the desired rom. There you find all necessary wipes to do :good:

@Androidwizzard so to flash DN3 ROM this is what I have to do:
1)Flash Philz 5.15 recovery with ODIN
2)Flash MJ5 bootloader while running official 4.1.2
3)Make a backup of current with recovery
4)Make the necessary wipes with recovery and flash DN3 ROM
Is everything I mentioned above correct?
Also how do I go back COMPLETELY stock if I ever want?
And btw is DN3 ROM good for games? I play lots of heavy games like GTA:SA etc..
Thanks A LOT guys for helping me, I know I'm annoying but I'm really new to Samsung and this all seems really strange

[Q] Need help about stock 4.2.2 firmware

Hi,
I've got some issues about stock 4.2.2 firmware. My phone lagged on AOSP roms(4.4.2 Kitkat) and someone told me to try flashing an older stock 4.2.2 firmware before flashing AOSP roms.
My questions are :
-Where can find 4.2.2 firmware to download and which one do I have to use and how to?
-Do I have to go back to 4.2.2 official ROM first before flashing or I can just flash it even i'm on AOSP 4.4.2 Kitkat rom.
Please explain every steps and sorry if it was stupid questions.
Thank you so much

1)Actually bnb2 Official Firmware is WORST ever firmware update... right now best is K3 firmware u can download it from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9082
2) No need to go back to stock for installing different ROM...Best is flash Philz Recovery can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725019
This Recovery has a option called Install New Rom which cleans everything which is necessary for a New Rom To work flawlessly.
OR ELSE
First go to Recovery do Factory Reset,Wipe Cache,Dalvic Cache, Install The New Rom and after that Factory Reset,Wipe Cache,Dalvic Cache and then Reboot..Enjoy!!

- McClaw 4.4.3 roms (imei is lost, so no phone signal)
- DBT-I8160pxxmg2 german stock rom for 4.1.2 (which doesn't even flash: install aborted)
I have always been forced to flash back to clockworkmod 5 with Odin to be able to recover my GB rom.
I have seen other users with the i8160p (and even XXLK3) to be running kitkat or JB. I haven't been able to find a proper way to achieve that though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I have been strugling for months to get JB or KitKat running on my i8160p XXLK3. The stock rom is on GB 2.3.6 and it is repeatedly soft bricked for some reason.
I have tried:

- TeamCanjica 4.4.2 i8160p rom (radio is disabled and cannot be enabled)
- McClaw 4.4.3 roms (imei is lost, so no phone signal)

I am not sure what you are hinting at, but I don't have any issues with the FM radio... I have issues with the GSM network to connect:
- With 4.4.2 TeamCanjica i8160p ROM the network settings are extremely slow. Sometimes networks appear, but soon disconnect. No stable connection (due to radio or modem?). I guess I am still using the gingerbread modem which doesn't come with the 4.4.2 custom rom?
There is no official release for jellybean for my phone (XXLK3), so I don't know which one to flash to get this working.
I dont know much about regions and sim locks and stuff so hopefully a knowledgeable P variant user help you. Sorry

Have you tried to update with Samsung Kies to JB first, and after that to flash kitkat? Ore with Odin to flash JB?

Thanks for your quick reply. For some reason the phone does not connect with USB in windows 8.1. Updating via Kies is therefore not an option. Also, I believe the latest official release for this model is still 2.3.6 (unlike the same phone in other countries).
I would like to flash JB through odin, but I have yet to find a rom that supports i8160p (XXLK3). Also I am a bit unsure if I need to backup anything expect for the standard CWM recovery backup, I have read that users forgot to backup essential settings that Samsung stores on the phone and which are needed to revert back to GB if needed.
If you have suggestions for a rom to flash, or a procedure to follow. Very welcome!

Hi, Finally I was able to flash the i8160P german version mentioned above through ODIN. Through the CWM recovery it had failed. I am now running 4.1.2 with a working modem. Does this mean the modem is now upgraded and ready to flash kitkat?
