Questions: Upgrade note 2 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 (Custom ROM)

The more I read , the more options I encountered and Im confused.
Some rom flashing expert please confirm the following steps to upgrade from stock 4.1.2 to a custom ROM 4.3 Mk4
1) I download Odin
2) then download philz recovery
3) Flash philz recovery using Odin
Ok at this point , if i reboot the Phone should still be working fine right?
Then to flash a custom 4.3 Rom mk4 I do the following
1) Download ROM
2) Download MultiTool advanced
3) install Multitool Zip file using Philz recovery previously installed
4) Aroma will start and I will get options to flash ROM
I will keep all at default in Aroma, and thus the Custom ROM will be installed
The 2 ROMS im interested are Dr ketans and DN3
Now since both roms are pre rooted and Knox free, I should be able to revert back to 4.1.2
Now I need someone to tell how to go abck to 4.1.2 and how to flash official 4.3 in case ROM I flashed is not upto expectation and results in buggy phone.
Please correct me when necessary plz

Mam / Sir any update here? because This is also my concerned. Thanks to someone that may lead us.

I think a simple way to revert to stock 4.1.2 is to do a nandroid backup from the recovery before flashing the custom rom.
If you do not like the rom, you do a wipe and restore the backup.

just another step before Philz is to download ketans multi tool v2 advanced and then root and install philz via that...

you just flash the 4.1.2 FW back using odin

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:

@Mashed_Potatoes thanks for your reply but please make things a little bit more detailed..
- Root -- how can I root my device? Link?
- Flash recovery (TWRP my choice)? I want Philz recovery. How do I flash it? Is there any problems with flashing DN3 with Philz recovery?
-What are the prerequisites to get DN3 ROM to work FULLY? Have you noticed any important bugs while using it? What bootloader do I have to flash to get DN3 ROM to work? How can I flash that bootloader? Remember I'm on stock 4.1.2
-How can I access Recovery on this phone?

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

Hey guys I need a little bit more help.
 @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] Stuff is harder to find for sgh i747m

Hi im new on this forum and I would like to have some tricks and tips cause I just rooted my phone yesterday and it seems more difficult to find information for my phone I have a galaxy s3 on 4.3 sgh i747m with Rogers .... Is it me or there is just a lot more stuff made for the i9300... I have tried to find ROM'S and tricks to put CWM recovery but it's harder to find information !!
to put CWM recovery I saw a lot of stuff saying download rom manager and install CWM recovery with this app but they offer me a version of CWM recovery for a galaxy s3 (metro cps) they doesn't say if it's made for a sgh i747 so im really scared to do something wrong if I install this version of CWM recovery ..
Could some one help me maybe with website limks or a guide for beginers noob like me or this forum seem's to be really good with some people with knowledge
Before my galaxy s3 I had a Jailbreak Iphone 3gs a year ago but Rooting an Android and putting stuff on it is not really the same thing it's far away from it!

And does it matter if put some stuff on my phone made for at&t sprint etc.... even if those are sgh i747

Hey,
I am running CM11 d2att and CWM d2att on my i747m and it works perfectly. It has been so long since I did it that I can't remember the exact steps that I took, so I would do some more research. Everything I needed to know was on these forums somewhere.
I believe the rough steps I took were:
- Root
- Install CWM (d2att)
- Update bootloaders (i747m)
- Flash d2att rom
But I can't remember exactly, so do some research before you go ahead!

You can install pretty much whatever you'll find in these forums except for bootloaders and modems.
There are specific bootloaders/modem for the i747m vs. i747.
The rest, unless explicitely specified otherwise, is 100% compatible between i747 and i747m.
As for your recovery script, I would suggest installing TWRP instead of CWM.
TWRP is more user friendly for people that are new to Android and both are usually supported.
For this, go to the Play Store, download and install the "Goo manager" application.
Once installed, open up the app, hit the menu button and select the "install recovery script" option.
It will automatically select/download/install the correct recovery for your phone and ask you to confirm before doing so.

I recommend not updating your phone to any stock 4.3 ROM. A stock 4.3 ROM will install a 4.3 bootloader which cannot be downgraded and may cause problems when trying to root or get back to stock.
Some newer ROMs require an updated bootloader in order to install and boot. I am running a 4.1.2 bootloader on my i747m and don't have any problems installing 4.4.2 ROMs.
Rooting gives you access to the system files and does not unlock you bootloader.
For installing custom ROMs, I use Philz Touch which is based on CWM. I have tried TWRP and I was getting errors when flashing custom ROMs. I was able to flash the same ROM using Philz Touch without a problem. TWRP is more user friendly but doesn't work as well for me.

Your post says youhave 4.3 on your phone. Is it a stock 4.3 ROM?
d2att (i747) is the AT&T version of the s3. Canada has the i747m.
The bootloader does not need to be unlocked in order to install a custom recovery or to root like Motorola phones.
The bootloader is software that an OS works with in order to function as a phone.

yes its the 4.3 jelly bean stock rom
but can I put any custom rom for my model the i747 or 747m ? The carrier doesn't have any importance ?

Any warranty left on your phone? Installing a custom ROM will void your warranty.
If you want to install a custom rom, copy the ROM you want to the internal or external SD card, install Philz Touch recovery, boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, install the ROM, and reboot.
You can install any ROM for the d2att as long as the ROM supports the phone's bootloader.

How I know which bootloader I got? If I have the 4.3 jelly bean I have a 4.3 boot loader?

thank you for your help

Since you have TWRP installed, you not flash custom ROMs. Look around for a ROM you like, download it to your phone's SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, flash ROM, reboot.

He meant you CAN flash custom roms.
As long as the rom isn't packaged with a modem or bootloader you can flash any AT&T rom as you please.

I just bought this a few days ago. The build is P600UBUCNH2. I have root access but I cannot get a custom recovery to take, I have tried several. I flash the CWM MD5 in Odin 3.09 and it flashes successfully, but it does not come up...just stock recovery with the robot on his back. **The stock recovery says
the build is P600XXUCNH3, while the device is showing build P600UBUCNH2...?
Newbie Question: Can I flash a rom with a different build that is known to accept a custom recovery? If so, which one do you recommend?
I have experience flashing my Galaxy S3 and have found the files I need for that, but I really would like to get a custom recovery working on this new device. The KNOX fuse has already been blown.
Thanks in advance for any help.
UPDATE: I got philz_touch_6.25.7-lt03wifi.tar recovery to work...at last!!

TWRP doesn't work. I've tried 2.8.0.0, 2.6.3.3, 2.6.3.2, 2.6.3.0
philz_touch is the only thing that works for me.
I also flashed different build stock roms. Build P600XXUCNH3 is from Austrailia, but the Play Store wouldn't work. So I went back to build P600UBUCNH2 from Panama and the Play Store is fine. I'll stick with that for now until I find something better.

I flashed TWRP succesfully to a P600UBUCNH2 version. I have this 10.1 tab since release. Don't remember exactly where I found the TWRP version, I remember that I used auto root or something similar. In terms of ROMS: I haven't found any thread that explains if we can use any other stock rom for similar models (any P600 wifi, 2014 edition, etc. but with different version number). So I haven't even tried to install other rom until I find a confirmation for this.

[Q] 4.4.2 stock recovery download for install via Odin for sghi317?

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place or if this question has already been asked & answered. I've been searching for an answer for DAYS and haven't come up with anything.
I recently unrooted and reinstalled the stock firmware to my phone by following the instructions and using the downloads located in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189. However, the download did not include the stock recovery and now I'm stuck at the TWRP home screen every time my phone tries to install an OTA update.
Where can I find the stock recovery file for AT&T i317 UCUCNE5 that I can install via Odin? (Which will theoretically and hopefully solve my problem.)
In that same thread, I see a file "CWM AT&T i317 UCUCNE5 Stock *Recovery* Note 2", but I'm concerned that the "CWM" means it's only for those using ClockWorkMod Recovery. Do I need to switch from TWRP to CWM for this to work?

The stock recovery file in the OP will work with CWM, TWRP, or Philz CWM.
