[Q] Sluggish and Slow after update? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a note 2 that's unrooted.
Right after applying the OTA update now its super sluggish and slow.
Is it due to the knox?

4.3 update simply sucks. Your only way to make everything better is to root your phone and install a custom rom but this way you can say goodbye to warranty.
Dear KNOX thank you, we all hate you.

For me i think the best TW version i had on my Note 2 was the 4.1.1/4.1.2, 4.3 was simply a disappointment, with no Note 3 features, nothing new but performance, it went down.

yes, but for this you need to flash a custom recovery, your knox flag will become 0x1 and you will lose your warranty
Thanks

custom roms
Yea you can. You could have been using one I'm I been on 4.3 for months now. The official is really for the devs which is who I wait for to make the roms better then the stock upgrades. Have a look around at some you will be mad when you do because stock sucks after using modded roms. You can't custom color stock roms and that's my thing I love themes when it comes to customization.

Regarding Knox, isnt there a way to reset the counter back to original value (think its "0"). Was it triangle away or something. Cant remember correctly.
Whats your view??

Triangle away used to reset the custom binary count and status. KNOX counter is something different. Till now, it can't be reset!

[Q] Downgrading 4.3 to 4.1.2 on GTN7105

I only really used to lurk the forums, but I've seen a lot of conflicting threads with regards to rooting/downgrading methods for this particular model which is why I'm asking here today:
My understanding is that KNOX itself will trip when rooting occurs and voids the warranty, and that it also blocks bootloading(?)
I made the mistake of updating to 4.3 a while back and I've regretted it ever since, and now that there's an OFW update to 4.4.2 (I'd rather not update it) I'm stuck between updating to 4.4.2 (Which might lock me out of downgrading) or staying with 4.3 until a solution appears.
Here are my device details:
SAMSUNG NOTE 2 LTE
GT-N7105
Android Ver: 4.3
Baseband ver: N7105XXUEMJ9
Build: JSS15J.N7105XXUEML3
I'm already past warranty so tripping knox isn't a problem, I just want to bring it back down to 4.1.2.
Can anyone give me advice or a step-by-step on how I should proceed? I've been looking for a solution over the last few months without any real progress...:crying:

Once Knox is triggered or updating to official 4.3 and higher one cannot downgrade to 4.1.2. So you are stuck with 4.3 and higher ROMs. Bye bye 4.1.2

Should I update?

I am already rooted via towel root. Is this going to update to NF1? And will I loose root?

You can upgrade to NF1 official firmware no problem, it will not change the knox status.
But unfortunately you will loose root and Towelroot is not yet compatible with rooting
the NF1 official firmware.
Good luck!
Thanks that's what I was afraid of. I think I'll just keep postponing it until I hear of a root method for NF1. Thanks again. God Bless

Don't do the OTA. You can retain root if you flash nf1 via Mobile Odin Pro app.

[Q] {Q} Downgrade from kitkat to jelly bean

hi guys.. i got a question,, is there anyway to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
thanks for answer, if you do it
You can, but it will trigger the KNOX flag.
Just follow the how to info in the Q&A threads.

That depends on how he upgraded to KitKat. If he took the OTA update from Samsung or used Odin to flash it he should have the KitKat bootloader and that would be true, but @civato has a ROM that allows upgrading to KitKat using the Jelly Bean bootloader. If he upgraded that way he can flash the stock JB firmware with Odin and not trip the KNOX flag since that's only done by the KK bootloader.
There's information in the Q&A section about how to check the current status of the KNOX flag.

hydrolynx, confused??? I am happy with JB, as most of the apps are good and a few tweaks makes KK less than spectacular to my needs.
I'd save KK for devices that lack Samsungs features... The newer devices will be anything but KK.

My note was dead last month, then I brought them to Samsung, they told me my software was corrupted, and had to reinstall it, they gave me KK, now I know what you mean gooberdude, KK is totally sucks,
Device overheating problem makes apps closed by itself and I can't even delete some files at my sd card from the folder...
Anybody knows if the software installed by Samsung can I do the downgrade without triggering the KNOX?
Thanks, I miss my old rooted JB and I want to get it back..
Flash x-note on kitkat
hello and good day
is it possible to flash x-note ROM on KitKat 4.4.2 Android?

No ROMs for p607?

I just rooted and installed recovery on my note 10.1 and I saw hyperdrive which I'm familiar with but can't install. So basically is ASOP the only thing I can install? Kind of disappointing if that's true. The development doesn't seem to be buzzing on this device.

Yup the Tablet is pretty much dead. There has been pretty much no updates at all. I am hoping ARHD comes out with a 4.4.3 rom. I would really like it if someone could post a working Tar file for the latest 605 firmware. Stock firmware is running fine with root. Just a few things that bug me that I am hoping is fixed with the updated firmware.

That's annoying. Was hoping for some awesome roms. I mean it was so easy to unlock and it's on tmobile you'd think there would be much more.
