[Q] Whats the latest tmobile note2 OS?

I bought myohone a few weeks ago. It had Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I upgraded to the latest stock rooted rom which shows 4.1.1 still. Did tmobile upgrade to 4.1.2 in the last few weeks without me knowing? Is there a completely stock Tom for the note 2; except with root capabilities?

T-Mobile released the 4.1.2 update a few weeks ago. Here is where you can find info on it as week as download links and a tutorial for installation.

thanks for the quick reply. Is it possible to upgrade to the rooted stock version of 4.1.2 from the rooted stock version 4.1.1 (same way you would the non-rooted completely stock ROM)? I really don't want to have to backup all my apps, completely wipe out everything, then put a blank image of the rooted stock 4.1.2.ROM, then restore all my app and settings.
I would obviously prefer a non-destructive upgrade.
Also, I prefer the stock web browser over chrome since flash player doesn't work on it. Do i have to worry about losing the stock web browser in Jelly Bean 4.1.2 or is that only in 4.2.1 that i need to deal with that?

the only way to avoid losing apps is to unroot 4.1.1 then upgrade to 4.1.2 over the air and you will still be able to use install and use flash player in 4.1.2

What do most people do in this case? What if i just reimage it completely and restore my apps with titanium back. Would anything break or lose its settings? Would i end up with Chrome browser or the default browser i currently use? I'm still unsure if 4.1.2 is the ROM that replaces the stock ROM browser or 4.2.x

Can Somone point me to a real tmobile rooted 4.1.2 stock ROM? The only 4.1.2 ROM i can find is teshxx's rom which is port from a non tmobile version (it doesn't have tmobile wifi calling). I've tried googleing a bunch of time but can't find an authentic tmobile 4.1.2 rom that been rooted.

if i were you i would back up apps first then flash rooted 4.1.2 rom through cwn recovery and dont worry you will be able to use default browser in 4.1.2

If you want to keep all your apps, just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36786363 ... and install deodexed ROM, kernel and modem from recovery (CWM or TWRP) and all settings/apps will be preserved. (wipe cache/dalvic before flashing)

Thanks for the extremely helpful response. I keep seeing people suggesting deodexed roms instead of odexed. I'm trying to understand the reasoning for this. My understanding is the whole point of odex files are to increase performance in loading apps and just more efficient use of memory (similar concept to Windows pre-fetching/supercaching engine). The only circumstance I can think of using a deodexed ROM is for certain customization that can only be done with deodexed system components.
Having said that, just to be 100% clear, are these the steps necessary:
1. Select wipe cache and wipe dalvic options, then select deodexed rom (will odexed rom work as well??) and flash using Mobile Odin:

This is cool. But why not just flashing any att rom and just changed the build.prop from d2att to d2tmo? I have done it multiple times with no issues and flashed em out of the box

AT&T Galaxy S3 is the same 99% hardware than the T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Same as the Sprint and Verizon S3's.
Porting CDMA Galaxy s3 needs to do more work other wise you will have bugs but it will still boot.
But its been done several times and like I said I have flash several TW roms to my T-Mobile S3 out of the box with no problems at all.

i concur.... but thanks for sharing.

anytime

Besides bro, flashing a rom doesn't change ur modem, unless it's included in the rom zip and devs don't do that unless it's a firmware update for that particular carrier and comes with it. Most separate rom from modem even then..but thanks for trying to contribute to us all

[HELP] SPH-D710VMUB Stock (Rooted) (FJ12) to Dirty Unicorns 4.2

As the tile says, I need some help, possibly a walkthrough tutorial, on how to get from rooted stock FJ12 to Dirty Unicorns 4.2 ROM on my SPH-D710VMUB (Virgin Mobile). I had it running fine at one point and then things got screwed up after I updated to 4.3 and tried making to modifications to fix some issues I was having, so I had to revert back to rooted stock. And now, for the life of me I cannot remember how I got there. Any new ROM I attempt to install via recovery throws an error (error 7 if I recall correctly) and will not install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean DU 4.3..
Make sure first you're on an ICS modem...if not. Flash it in recovery on the tw ROM you're on now so you can update prl/profile..If you need a cwm recovery for the stock ROM you're on..Look in rwilco12 repo for a custom kernel with cwm for you're build..
This is how I flashed it..
Boot to cwm on current ROM...
Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and format system
Flash DU 4.3...wait
When it's done...Don't Reboot..Go to advanced and pick reboot recovery
When new recovery comes up....do the wipes again
Now flash DU 4.3 again
Reboot when its done..
Let it settle for a few ...
Boot to cwm
Flash gapps...reboot..
Enjoy...:good:

Thanks. I'll give it a try when I have time in the near future.

The issue that I'm having is that recovery won't flash anything and just gives me an error every time. Is there a way to upgrade the recovery without switching modems?

Mobile Odin, PC Odin... You probably have the stock kernel, which won't flash anything.

Find cwm in tar format and flash it using pc or mobile Odin.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Mobile Odin is an app that allows you to flash kernels in tar format... Find it here on XDA.

Thank you for your help. If I continue to have problems I will continue the conversation later, but for now I'm going to try a touchwiz based ROM since battery life on stock seems so much better.

I'm following these exact steps and I can't get 3G nor 4G to work.
I used ODIN to get ICS stock rooted, then installed the CWM Kernel, and installed DU 4.3.
Any help here.. I've been going crazy for months trying to get this to work.
Thank you.

What modem are you using? That might be your issue.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I've tried different scenarios of installing a different Virgin Mobile modems after doing a full wipe/cash/etc. I've also tried doing a stock install of JB (after trying a stock VM ICS) before i wiped and installed DU 4.3. I read somewhere that 3G and 4G for Virgin doesn't work on the new DU 4.3.

Speakerphone problems..

OK, I have notifications and music playing through external speaker as normal, but when I try to use speakerphone it goes silent. The earpiece works fine in calls, but speakerphone does nothing. I am rooted and this problem persists across all of my backups (carbon 4.2/pac 4.2/Mokee 4.4/stock ics 4.0.4/Slimbean 7 4.2) the only audio mod I have used was Viper4android and Sony Walkman, and after every restored backup no speakerphone, I have also tried flashing new roms (Cm9) just to test and it still persists. I am running FK19 and the prl is 15110 (flashed custom prl). could this be a hardware issue? even tho the other sounds still play through the external speaker?
Thanks

It's been an issue with AOSP-based ROMs for quite awhile. There's no fix.
Try flashing the latest GB27 ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Bummer, it even occurs when I flash or Odin stock ROMs though. I can't use the gb27 ROMs yet as I haven't been able to successfully convert them to uscc yet. I got an unbranded (no carrier) gb28 but MMS is still an issue.

GB27 and GB28 are essentially the same thing... Did you change your mmsc url and apn?

Yep, used gesture search to open apns and think it was ##data#? That opened the other settings menu, but mms didn't work.
Maybe I missed something somewhere. I have the odin flashable gb28, used the cwm installer bat file, and flashed the agat recovery. after that I got bootlooped, and the factory reset/wipe didn't fix it. Maybe I could use the TWRP recovery instead? I did spend a lot of time trying to get the Touched by an S4 rom to work, but I still got bootloops with that one as well. I used the jb format all x2 zip before install, but I was thinking that maybe I flashed it from the wrong recovery. Im gonna go re-read the op instructions again and maybe take another swing at it. Any suggestions would be welcome, along with hints, tips, clues, and up to and even including "hey dumbass you forgot to ......"
thanx

Twrp will not work with Touchwiz based ROMs. Odin to gb28, then Odin agats kernel. Avoid any cwm installers.

Successfully odin'd gb28 and then odin'd agat. also was able to modify ACPverter (uscc zip mod) to change build prop and eri.xml in framework-res, still no luck on getting the apn settings to stick (MNC MCC wont take, dont know the correct values and the old ones wont work), also ##3282# , and ##72786# won't work and I am unable to change the MMSC url.
All that being said it is still running very well and thanks again for the advice on odin'ing everything. if only I could odin tbs4, anyway its a good starting point and stable enough for me to mess around with even though the speakerphone still refuses to work....

ok so I did some reseach and found that the speakerphone issue is from the sprint kernels, around cm10.1 they start to break the Bluetooth and speakerphone, prior builds have success in some cases. time to odin the hell out of it and see if I cant get it back! I have about 4 different tar files for ICS and Gingerbread, and I am gonna give them all a shot
Note: while odining the gingerbread build, after reboot it showed "decrypting meta data" and some other things I couldn't read it fast enough....weird.....
ok stock ics, stock rooted ics, stock gingerbread, stock unbranded JB, stock pit files with ics and gingerbread = no bueno speakerphone/Bluetooth!!!!! anyone got any other suggestions?

Update. I also changed the speaker/antenna that is mounted inside the housing at the bottom of the phone. I replaced it with one from a sprint branded phone and still no luck... S3 arrives next week..

[Q] Status of freedom to install ROMs?

I'm considering picking up a S3 off eBay, since they seem to be rather cheap nowadays ( under $100), and was thinking of it as an upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus.
I've seen people with Verizon S3s and S4s get stuck after updating so they couldn't install any ROMs anymore.
Of course I haven't really heard much about the Sprint phones being locked down so much, but could anyone tell me if (even with the newest update) if you can install CWM and CyanogenMod?
Thanks

it would be better to install Philz Touch CWM advanced recovery from Odin and you can back up your stock rom when in the recovery then do the second option under wipe data to wipe everything but first make sure you have the Touchwiz rom and or AOSP rom + Gapps to flash in your internal storage then wipe cache and dalvik cache and your done so yes you can still install a custom recovery and custom rom like CyanogenMod

I don't think you read through my whole post, since I wasn't asking how to do it, since I'm already familiar with Heimdall flashing (have been flashing on early Verizon S3/S4, before updates blocked it).
But the big question is... If you were to go to 100% stock (or a 100% stock phone to begin with), and have the newest updates applied(I think it is 4.3 or 4.4), you can still flash stuff, and not have it brick, right?
I know if I were to try the same on a Verizon S3, it would almost certainly brick.

but i did read through it i just answered the last part about CWM and CyanogenMod since that's what i know for sure
but you see for the rest of your words i have flashed on full stock 4.4.2 NDC since mine is the Boost variant with root and philz touch recovery....but only stuff made for touchwiz like the S5 ported apps just the worst i got after flashing is constant force closing of one or more apps for then i would have to boot back into recovery with the button method and flash a backup but i have done so and my s3 started with 4.4.2 stock update for the sprint variant even tho its the same model number i would wait to see if anyone else with it chimes in....but since it is the same basic model everything basically works the same way for them

Yes, you can still flash whatever you want besides modem. You just can't ever Odin anything older than ND8 (Sprint TouchWiz 4.4.2) or NDC (Boost / Virgin Mobile TouchWiz 4.4.2).
