Hi, I have a 4.2.2 Rooted Stock Rom running on my T-Mobile S4 at the moment (been rooted since June and never upgraded to any ROMS since root was still fairly new to the phone back then), and I was looking at all these ROMS and I want to upgrade to Wicked, Avatar, or XTREMEPERIA S4 ROM...BUT I'm pretty sure I need to do something before I do that. I already have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.2 installed, and I read in one of the ROM threads that I need to install a MK2 modem or something? I'm lost and I don't want to ruin my phone :/ I already backed everything up using MyBackup Pro, and using ClockworkMod.
Here's some information about my phone that will hopefully be helpful:
Baseband version: M919UVUAMDL
Kernel version: 3.4.0-440244
Build number: JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL
Please help, I really want to use the awesome ROMS I listed above.
Thanks in advance.
If you follow these instructions:

your modem would be upgraded to mk2 which works well with 4.3 roms like Wicked v10.

You will upgrade your modem to NB4 which works well with 4.4 ROMs like insane kit Kat.

So a lot of mods require deodexed roms.. such as the mod for allowing any app to be split screen.
I'm currently running rooted stock 4.1.1.
I really can't be ****ed reinstalling hundreds of apps and copying everything back on. I suppose I could do a carbon backup or Titanium backup but that's still a ridiculous amount of effort.
Is there any other way to make the phone deodexed? Or any other ideas?
If I'm going to flash a rom should I install something like CM10.1 or something?
I don't want to lose any features like S-pen support or anything though.
So what do you guys think?
multiwindow and many other tweaks available for odexed too
read xposed framwork
as well
simplistic frammework
though you need to make deodexed, Titanium is easiest and best choice for appl backup.
I wasn't sure which one to use for my phone, I commented and no one replied to what I said.
"AP: N7100XXALJ3
CP: N7100XXALJ2
CSC: N7100OJVALJ2
Which download do I use? Or will none of them work on mine? Rooted with stock ROM.
New to this sorry. "
For simplistic framework.
Xposed will work on your rom
Simplistic available for certain rom
Btw your rom is too old and vulnerable to exynos and sds bug, recommend to update latest rom (2013 released ) asap.

Hello!
I was wondering if its possible to downgrade back to 4.2.1 from 4.3. In download mode, I see that they have added Knox to the bootloader. Every time I try to flash the 4.2.1 .md5.tar file via Odin. Its says: Unsupported Version.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Try and download different file make sure all properties match ur device configuration download from sammobile is recomended

dont do anything more
as far i can see, and you witnesed first hand, the knox stuff remains logged there and you cat do anything about it....i suggest stop trying to downgrade before smth bad happens (knock on wood).....and just wait for a 4.3 custom rom, that comes with its own files to download and flash
I have a similar question that probably no one asked before, as I couldn't find any similar thread.
I have a back up rom of rooted 4.1.2 stock rom, which back up by Philz Touch.
Once I flashed 4.3 custom rom, is it safe to restore my 4.1.2 rooted stock rom backup from the 4.3 custom rom? Another question is, once I flashed any 4.3 custom rom, can I flash 4.1.2 custom roms from after that without any problem?
To make things clear, I will never go back original, unrooted 4.1.2 stock rom or try to flash a original unrooted 4.3 stock rom.
I sincerely hope someone can explain to me, because I dare not to try to flash any 4.3 custom rom until now.
Thank you very much!

In my knowledge, yes. Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything you're not sure of. But yes, you can as long as u restore your backup with the same recovery u backed up in.

You'll have to root it first. If u are using n7100, here u go. If you're using n7105, sorry to say, but no hope for u. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-galaxy-note-2-on-android-4-3-firmware-and-removes-knox-too/
After rooting, flash stock 4.1.2 or 4.1.2 ROM.

Yea haha, I wanted to have a look at 4.3 but silly me forgot to see what's new! I should have tried the Lion rom.

I took the update 4.3 and took a way to get the 4.3 stock rom, and used Kingo to root my phone.
Curious if there is a way to add custom roms again.

And no. This is why you never take OTA updates if you are rooted.
definitely wrong thread but I do believe you can install safestrap recovery and then use that for installing/running custom roms but you're gonna have to go to the right forums for verizon to search and find out...I only know cause I did my friends brand new s4 from Verizon and it's on 4.3 and I rooted it, installed safestrap ONLY to create a backup rom just in case anything went wrong when we cleaned out his bloatware, and on the s4 it can run roms by using safestrap but it's not my phone to mess with so I left it as is for him...rooted, debloated, backed up and running smooth
Sorry guys not sure what forum I should be in then??

Hi, as the title said, my question is what is the latest firmware on the Note currently if I purchased now. Is it 4.3 with locked bootloader like the Galaxy s3 with Knox? If it's, is it possible to flash custom firmware? Thanks.
Yes it has 4.3. It has Knox bootloader as well if that matters. There is TWRP recovery, custom kernel by Bid Droid, custom ROM by Scotts ROM called Clean ROM V2 R2.

It and the older note 10.1 2012 version are both on list to get kitkat 4.4.2. ..no clue when it would drop but I'm sure Clean ROM will have it before it's out for mainstream. It's on ML1 currently

Thanks for quick reply, I thought that if it came with locked bootloader then how can we unlock? like the S3, we unable to unlock we need to use safestrap to install custom rom, is it the same case as the Note? sounds like it's not.

Scotts clean ROM is adapted for US to ML1. Like I said custom ROM. The stock is MK1, correct.

It's still not clear, I thought MK1 (4.3) has a locked bootloader, and no one could unlock the bootloader yet, so how can we able to flash custom rom??
I shall do my best to clarify of what I know. I have the note 10.1 2014 sm-p600, wifi only. I'm located in the US. I had android 4.3 on it. I had used Kies to update to MK1 since I had already tripped Knox and don't care. Even prior to MK1, I used Odin'd Cf - auto root, and Odin'd TWRP custom Recovery. For a long time there were nobody developing anything for the tablet. SCOTTS clean ROM undertook the task and made a custom ROM with stock kernel. Then as time progressed Bid Droid entered with a custom kernel. He also made his own rom, but I'm not sure if that is for P601 or p605 models. I refer you to the note 10.1 2014 android development thread for more detailed info. Scott was able to incorporate ML1 firmware into his ROM. Yes ML1, think it was Taiwan, wasn't released in the US but I see no problems as far as country specific or anything on a wifi only tablet. He knows what he is doing as a proven developer. If none of what I am saying makes any sense, I would advise you to look deeper in Note 10.1 2014 android develop thread. I hope this may have helped clarify. I tried to anyways.

Folks i have a ATT samsung tab3 7inch the model number is T217a (GSM version) and is updated OTA 4.4.2...
i am looking to upgrade to a non-bloated ROM with ROOT but after looking around haven't found something for this device specifically.. i have see a bunch of Rom's for the 217S and 217R and wasn't sure if those will work. so before i try something stupid wanted to ask around what are my choices.
Any help would be arrpreciated
Sorry, the t217a is a locked device, and beyond root for 4.2.2 and a few performance tweaks available because of that root, there is nothing for the t217a. 4.4.2 has not been rooted yet to my knowledge.
..and flashing back to 4.2.2 is not possible either, it will lead to a brick.

It's a shame really. It's a nice tab with a 1.7 dual core and a decent gpu. On 4.2.2 rooted with a few tweaks it is really speedy and the gps works well too. I bricked 1 out of my 2 by upgrading ota to 4.4.2, then after hating it I flashed back to 4.2.2. That was the end of that one. My 2nd is running great still tweaked n rooted on 4.2.2.
