I have extracted and repackaged the modem for those who are interested in trying it. It flashed with Odin on Overcome 1.4.2 without problems. @alter, this does not excuse you from giving us the full ROM.
Download link: http://www.multiupload.com/KHRGQP8L8Z

whats changed what new,
how does it feel
home screen the same

how do i do this on heimdall? my odin is refusing to show connected download mode, but Heimdall works fine.
Nevermind, got it. Had to reinstal kies drivers to get it to work.

You have to uninstall the drivers for Heimdall and re-install the drivers for Odin - one or the other, cant use both at the same time.

I`m new on this.
So if i will flash this with Odin it will unroot my device ? I have an Euro Galaxy Tab P1000 and now i`m rooted.

How do you root this rom?
I've tried z4root which didn't work. Superoneclick finished rooting but any apps that require root always fail saying root access not aquird.
Any help?

okay this might make me sound stupid, but how do i do that on windows?
NEVERMIND. Just ran this....

As far as i know nothing really changed in this update. But i know some bluetooth stuff needs 2.2.1 and up. So i am sure there are other apps that might like this update. Possibly has some slight fixes in it also.
With some tweaks I am getting constant mid-low 19 linpack scores!

Oh yeah, downloaded the P1000ZTKC1 and tried to upgrade my tab but always failed when Odin tries to read boot.bin and bricked my tab. Had to reinstate Tab again. Maybe it is because the firmware is not packed properly or could be I am doing it the wrong way. I had not tried full reset and upgrade yet tho.

Well, I will wait a while till I have time to do a hard reset then only try upgrade again. At the moment, I'll live with my current 2.2 rom. Or maybe wait for 2.3 to be release before upgrading.

[Q] Note 2 help with rooting

Hello XDA,
I am trying to root my new GT-N7100. I have had previous experience with Galaxy S3 and custom roms but with windows. I am trying to root my Note 2 with a mac book pro (heimdall method). I have followed every step carefully and dont seem to go anywhere. I followed steps from this link:
galaxynote2.com
The problem :
After I follow the last step (8 - Pressing UP+HOME+POWER), All I get is the Note 2 splash screen flashing as if there is a graphical glitch. The entire stuff just glitches up and down for a few times like a old TV and eventually the phone goes off, but the haptic feedback is active when I touch the keys besides home button so i am guessing the CWM recovery is working but just that there is nothing to see. Not sure what to do, any help is gladly appreciated.
Oh and another problem is that I get horrible static during any VOIP calls like Skype or Viber. Does anyone know whats the problem?
TIA,
findanish

Use windows only if you are new to android. Try using a friend's, neighbor's, cyber cafe computer. Heimdall needs experience. Or use virtual machine to install Windows trial like windows 8 enterprise evaluation

You're overcomplicating things. You don't need a Mac or a Windows machine, or ODIN or Heimdall to root your Note II. You don't even need a PC at all. All you need is Exynos Abuse.
Just make sure your handset is in good, working order, (i.e. - No bugs or goofy crap leftover from the failed rooting attempts.) and root using the Exynos Abuse *.apk from Chainfire. Just enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings > Security, and install the *.apk. Once it's installed, open it up and just click to root. It's that easy. All the relevant information, as well as the *.apk, is in the thread linked below.

After I rooted the device using ExynosAbuse.apk, it did say the device was rooted but when I go back to recovery to install a custom rom the same issue occurs where the entire screen goes bonkers. I have to shut the device down completely and restart it to get it back to normal state.
On a different note, when i head over to ODIN mode by pressing down+home+power, custom binary download : Yes (3 counts)
Not sure where to head.
Would a video of the problem help?

It looks like you may need to ODIN-flash back to stock. If you can get on a Windows machine, flash back to stock and then reroot. Once you do that, you can install your preferred custom recovery using MobileODIN. That should take care of you.

That's assuming his recovery is the only thing ****ed up. MobileODIN is great; but it is entirely dependant on a fully functional device. If your device is having issues, using MobileODIN is just an unnecessary risk.

N7105t wont boot

Hi, new here and new to Android. My mate convinced me to jump ship from iPhone and get a Note II and I love it. The best phone I have ever had. But now I am way above my head here. I gained root with Chainfires CF Auto Root and installed mobile Odin. Installed a version of Aroma Rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093080
I installed everything and worked perfect but I didn't like the moto theme i installed within it so went back to mobile Odin to go through the process again but this time it is stuck at the loading screen. Gets passed the GT-N7105T screen and goes to the ANDROID load screen, but does nothing else.
I initially backed up my EFS but forgot to do the Nandroid. Really need help... Thanks in advance.

Is there any way I can do a restore or anything? I can get to the Vol Up, home, power and vol down, home, power menus. Go to work in about 1 hour so fingers crossed I can get some ideas at the end of my shift.

Try a factory reset/wipe data. See if it helps. Phone will be fresh with no data if it works

Thanks, tried that before but will do it again. ... Ok, so completed factory reset (through recovery mode) and then reboot. Wont go any further than the android load screen.

Is it possible to gain root access with cwm and flash another rom? Can't seem to do it from recovery mode with cf auto root.

There is a thread which have pre rooted stock roms but flashable via odin only. Correct me if im wrong. Try downloadbany of the chefs rom for yur model. Usually it comes rooted. Try n see if that helps. Other than that try repartition yur phone using pit file
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Hi,
My guess is the ROM got stuffed somehow.
If you can get in to cwm recovery, try doing a full wipe and flashing a new ROM.
If u can't get in to cwn, download a stock rom for your model, from WWW.sammobile.com
Install Odin on your PC (it should come in the zip that the ROM came in)
Then boot your phone in to download mode (home button + volume down + power button )
Plug your phone in to PC
Open Odin, you should see a blue box showing your phones connected.
Now depending upon if the ROM is single or 3 file, u will need to do one of the following:
If its single file, select the PDA tab in Odin, and select the ROM u downloaded. Then click start.
If its 3 file, click on the tabs PDA, PHONE, CSC, and select the corresponding files with the same name.
Then click start.
The may also be a pit file in the ROM tar file, don't flash that. As it can cause a hard brick.
If what I said doesn't work, let me know, and the is a few other things u can try.
Cheers
Corey

To make nandroid backup you First need to flash advanced recovery (cwm/TWRP)
After this you will have option to backup in recovery menu.

Hi,
I am pretty sure the n7105t and n7105 are the same, but just have different SARS values (work on different networks and need different rils and modems).
If that is the case, you could just download build prop editor from the android market, or just use a text editor, and change the device ID to n7105.
Then you could flash the recovery from ROM manager.
I used to have a galaxy s2 that was the T variant, and the only difference on that from the standard model was the sar values.
Alternatively you can just download a .tar recovery, and flash it thru Odin.
Cheers

For the initial installation of TWRP (custom recovery) on your Note 4 DE you need the .tar md5 file. Download that file to your computer (not phone) and flash that file using ODIN. The .zip file is the same TWRP recovery that can be placed on your internal or external sd card to be used after your initial installation of TWRP using ODIN. The .zip file can be flashed from your phone in TWRP recovery mode. Again, for initial installation of TWRP you need the .tar md5 file.

Is it possible they sent me a consumer edition, not a dev edition? I bought it directly from samsung, and the invoice says "dev edition".

Are you still having problems? Here's a quick check list that may help you if you're still having problems"
-Make sure you have activated Developer Options and the phone is in debugging mode
-Make sure you have the most recent drivers for the Note 4
-I would download the .tar md5 Verizon version of TWRP again
-After putting your phone in Download mode and connected to your PC, make sure ODIN recognizes your phone
-Make sure the "AP" box is check in ODIN
-Designate the newly downloaded Verizon TWRP tar file
-Select Start and wait until you get a PASS or FAIL indication in ODIN (just above the ID:COM box on the ODIN screen) before you disconnect your phone. The whole process can take several minutes.

Turns out that even thought ODIN said FAIL, TWRP was in-fact installed. FYI: I'm running Windows 7 x32 from an iMac running Mavericks and vmware fusion - never had a problem like this with my S3 or Note 2 - but this may have been a factor. Anyway, flashed SuperSU in TWRP as instructed an voila!!

Hello,
I recently received my Verizon Note 4 DE. I was following the video posted on Youtube by XDA and I followed it exactly the way that the video was presented. So by doing that, I ran the CF Auto-root before anything else. After my phone was rooted, I then installed TWRP and backed up everything. Looking at the forums though, it was highly suggested that I install TWRP first and do a backup of my phone BEFORE I had root. Then proceed to root the phone and back it up yet again. Is it possible to go into SuperSU app and do the Full unroot option so that I can make a backup of my phone without root being done? Or is it pretty much a lost cause since I have already done it to begin with so it wouldn't be an original image regardless at this point. I guess more or less do I need to be concerned about it potentially in the future? I don't ever plan on running the phone without root access which was the reason why I bought the DE in the first place not to mention that I still have my Unlimited Data. I upgraded from a Retail Galaxy S3 that I unlocked and rooted previously but didn't really keep up on the developments after it went to a universal rom update for Cyanogenmod for that particular phone. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated.

But to answer your question about uninstalling SuperSU and then making a backup, I don't know of any reason why you couldn't do that. I am curious about the new root method though. I have to check this out. Thanks.

Can you send me the YouTube link because I can't find it in YouTube, not for the Verizon model anyway.

Hello.
Sorry I was at work when I replied to the initial message and didn't have the links or anything on me. I actually did utilize the T-Mobile Youtube Video link by XDA. The process is exactly the same as shown in that video except with a different CF-Auto-Root tar file built for the Verizon Note 4 Developer's Edition.
On Chainfire's website autoroot. chainfire .eu - Sorry too new to post actual links currently.
You will look for this particular line for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer's Edition. The File is around 27-28 megs in size. Filename will be CF-Auto-Root-trltevzw-trltevzw-smn910v.zip
samsung SM-N910V trltevzw trltevzw APQ8084 apq8084 KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANI1 4.4.4 28 632 736 Download 07a77f8ab23d3c2366a33020fce6afec 6 670
Inside of the zip is your typical CF set-up with the latest version of Odin and the proper CF-Auto-Root tar file for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer's Edition. You still need to download TWRP 2.8.1.1 separately.
I hope that gives you enough information and thanks for the response on being able to unroot my device and make an original back-up as well.
Thank You.

manbat, does it work as stated?

re-root SM-T900 after reflashing to stock with Kies

Long story short, I managed to loose root on my SM-T900 after removing superSU without replacing it with another SU product. So I tried flashing CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 to get root back, and it soft bricked my tablet. So I decided to reimage it using Kies after entering my model number which worked but now I was back at a vanilla, unrooted tablet.
I have been trying to reroot ever since using every method I could find in about 20 different forums and nothing works. Here are the methods I have tried so far.
1. Flash CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 via odin after enabling debug mode. runs for a long time and fails and soft bricks.
2. Flash P900XXUANB3-RecoveryImg.tar via odin and then CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 via odin. Screen becomes completely garbled and odin eventually says "failed"
3. I tried using
I have tried several different versions of CFAuto Root including CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 and CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 all with similar results listed above although others have said they managed to get root it has yet to work for me.
I do have a TWRP backup which I ultimately want to restore but I don't think a TWRP backup can be restored unless the device has root first so that TWRP can be installed.
Is there some other root app that would work?
I've been at this for two days and I just can't seem to find the correct combination of SM-T900 wifi ROM and Chain fire autoroot that work together.

Had the same issue. Easy fix. Use the CF AUTO ROOT file for the SM-P900 (Note pro 12.2 version) it works on the NK1 build for the tab pro 12.2
Re-installing TWRP was a p a in too. In the TWRP thread in this forum there is a beta version linked on the last or second to last page for 2.8.6 for the tab pro 12.2. If you flash it using Flashify it will work.
Just went through this same process myself.

Ok. Just so I am understanding you correctly, this is what I should do.
Flash T900UEUANK1_T900XARANK1_XAR.zip via odin.
boot up and enable debug mode.
boot into download mode and install CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 via odin and I should have root.
Install twrp-2.8.6.0-v2wifixx.img via Flashify and then I should be able to boot into recovery and restore my TWRP image backup.

Just FINALLY (and VERY PAINFULLY, BTW) got root on my Tab Pro 12.2 SMT-900 with NK1 build using CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5. If I Flashify the beta TWRP 2.8.6.0 you mention above using Flashify's "Recovery Image" Button and navigating to the TWRP 2.8.6.0 image file -- is that all I need to do? Does it "stick" and can I then make a Nandroid Backup -- that it will find if/when I need to recovery it? (I've read lots of posts saying the backup files disappear, etc)

I have not had any issues with backups so far. It is the only recovery I have been able to get to stick on the NK1 build. Have not tried to do a recovery though. I'm running CM 12 now because it is way more stable than the stock TW ROM.
If I navigate to the TWRP backup folder my backup of the stock TW ROM is there and intact.

THANK YOU, ShrekOpher . . .
Has anyone had bad experiences with running the Recovery using TWRP 2.8.6.0? -- You might say I'm a little "gun shy" right now with trying to install TWRP and want to be sure I don't lose any more brain cells . . .

Thank you! I recently purchased a gtp12.2 with the intent of immediately rooting it. Just like OP, I tried several times to root without any success (two softbricks, though). I would never have thought to use the SM-P900 cfAutoRoot.

Thanks for posting this question. I know you were trying to solve your own problem, but I'm glad I stumbled upon your post b/c I had the same exact problem.
