Hi there,
So I have a GT- n7105T (Samsung Note II) with android 4.1.1 and I want to flash it to android 4.2.2. Also, in the future I want to put custom roms.
Can you guys link me to tutorials for this? and suggest some good roms (with links) that won't effects the functions of the n7105T because I heard its different from the n7105.
I'm from Australia by the way!
I did more research the past few days, can someone confirm that this is correct?
1. Download original firmware of your current android (mines 4.1.1), and then you use Odin to root the device (flash) using the original firmware you downloaded.
2. You then install ClockworkMod Recovery to allow custom roms
3. Install the custom ROM
Anyone?
Yes you did that right. Now find Roms that Are Compatible with your SGN 2

Thank you for the reply.
Is it possible to download the stock 4.1.2 instead of my current 4.1.1, and use Odin to flash it? Will there be any issues.

Go to this thread. All details regarding rooting and roms are given there.
Read that thread 2 to 3 times before rooting and clear your mind about how to root.
Also check capable firmware for your phone model

I have read that link before I made this thread. I'm still abit confused.
In the first post, is that a tutorial to upgrade the stock ROM to 4.1.2 and the second post is to flash the ROM?

Can I flash the stock Rom 4.1.2 on my current 4.1.1?
Or do I have to upgrade to 4.1.2 and then flash with 4.1.2?

Flashing Stock 4.1.2 ROM through PC odin over 4.1.1 is same as upgrading over OTA.
Just download your country latest 4.1.2 ROM and Flash through PC odin as per guide. It will not wipe your data.
4.1.1 Roms contains SDS bug, so upgrade to 4.1.2 before rooting.
After rooting you can flash CWM recovery as you need.

Model: GT-N7105T
BaseBand: N7105TDVALK2
Carrier: Vodaphone
But on the website: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ where I typed in n7105t.
The PDA is N7105TDVDMD1 for the May 2013 release (doesn't specific the android version).
Is this ok?

Thank you! I'm glad to say it has been a successful. I flashed my stock ROM. (still have to see if reception is ok and all) but right now it is "installing the apps".
So, does this mean I have a fresh copy ROM? My old one is gone?
Anyways, can someone tell me the benefits I will have now? and the benefits I'll have when I install Clockwork Mod Recovery?
This is fun!

CWM recovery provides some advance setting compare to stock recovery.
Like you can take nandroid backup (rom backup) with this, but stock recovery don't.
It depends on your choice.
But CWR also increases binery counter in every boot to recovery. Follow the Dr.ketan's guide for more details.

first of all,i recommended you to make back up all of important data on your phone such as picture,apps or any important things to you since failure of flashing still have if you make a mistake
this is my method and its works on my galaxy note 2 N7100
1.get Odin and CF Autoroot for rooting the phone,klik into PDA then select the root file and then klik the start button,make sure success :victory:..
2.download custom recovery such as cwm advanced edition,klik into PDA then select the cwm file and then klik the start button,make sure no fail
3.then get custom rom,copy into your externad sd card and then flash using custom recovery
all the best :victory:

Does anyone know about how ClockworkMod is installed? Is it installed ONTOP of the stock ROM or does it replace the ROM?
Does it have specific versions for different models? I ask because I have the N7105T version which is different to the N7105 as it uses a different frequency.
I want to do Post#2 Procedure#2 Root with Advanced CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849
Will philz_touch be ok for me? Is it a file for N7105T aswell and will it effect my current stock flashed 4.1.2 ROM?
Edit:
I just realized I don't have the "super app" after flashing the stock ROM. Is this normal?
Installing CWM recovery will just replace your stock recovery. Not full ROM.
Download from here for 7105. It will work for you.
In case of any problem, flash stock ROM from odin.
Take backup of your internal and external sd card before rooting.

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
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.

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:

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

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.

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

If I want to install cwm (philz) I can safely flash the tar.md5 via ODIN or there's something else I must do first? I already made a backup of my efs folder

Flash cwm through odin, then flash rom from there following developer instructions.
[Galaxy Note 3 - Dr.Ketan's K6 ROM]
[Galaxy Note 2 - DN3 v4 RC2]
[Xperia Neo L - Customized Stock ICS]

From what I understand the boot loader is the problem just now. Custom recoveries won't work on 4.3 and above. They will result in a soft brick (I'm willing/hoping to be proved wrong)
I'm trying to read all I can about this as I'm in the same boat as you are (saferoot stopped me ripping my hair out).
I think that Safestrap might save us here but from what I've read it only works for the Verizon note 2 just now.
