Question about CM10.1 rom

This is probably a stupid and obvious question but...Do I have to root my phone first before flashing CM10.1 on my Note 2 sgh-i317m?
I started off with installing clockwork recovery but when I go into recovery mode I see android system recovery.
if I have to root can someone provide me with a great guide to do so please and thanks.

If the recovery install didn't stick then you have to rename the recovery restore files, which requires root.
Use the gnote 2 toolkit to root.
I would just root without installing a recovery and use goomanager to install the latest version of twrp from inside android. Reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want. For my phone needs, CM10.1 is nowhere near ready to be used daily, so make a backup.

I wouldnt go that far. Rootbox now has no issues for me. Bluetooth works perfectly for everything. Camera works great. I dont even know whats not working anymore because most of the daily things I use work perfectly....Phone, Texts, Group Messaging Stock, Bluetooth, Video, Photos. Up until yesterdays update Bluetooth would crash when switching modes or after a call. Then a reboot was necessary but now it works perfectly.
I do agree about the backup plan though.

OK I rooted and flashed CM10.1 on my phone but I'm wondering if I missed something because I don't seem to be getting LTE. I only get H or 3G it seems. When I go into settings > about phone > status, it says Mobile network type: HSPA: 10.

Try changing the apn

Got that to work. LTE was off apparently.
Also, what's with the play store? How come their is so few apps and I can't find many that were there before

did you make sure you flashed gapps 121212? if you did try it again....I had that problem before and reflashing gapps fixed it.

Flashed new rom, Now won't connect to Google

So last night i flashed a rom and when it installed i tried to add a google account. I tried to add an existing account. when i added my information it says that i couldn't sign in" there was a problem communicating with google servers." this means that i can't go into the play store. so i went into the TWRP menu to reflash a rom and it doesn't recognize the .img file that is on there. so basically right now i an app-less. any help is welcomed
i still can make calls and text, and my wifi still works. just no connection to google
my device is HTC One M8 AT&T (rooted and boot loader unlocked)
and i have a Mac computer if that helps

Delet your existing Google account from your phone.
Go into Settings > Apps > All and clear cache and data on all Google services:
Play Store, Play Services, Maps, G+ - the works.
Then restart and try again to add your Google account.

That could be it then. Something left behind from another rom install.
As a general rule, if you switch between roms - even from the same base - I would always clean install. Only updates of the same rom are ok to dirty flash.
For a clean install (if you have TWRP) just choose Wipe and swipe the button, then re-flash the rom. You will have to install your apps and tweaks again, but that's a small price to pay for everything working.

I figured it out. Basically because I used my Mac to transfer the ROM to my phone it was unzipped and that made twrp not see it as a ROM its all fixed now

CM 12 + gapps flashed but no google service and now can't flash anything.

Using Odin/towelroot/twrp I was able to flash CM12 on my tab pro 8.4 but after flashing gapps none of the google apps actually work - they all say that google play service is required. I tried flashing different gapps packages and also directly installing just the google play services APK.
I done a full wipe then attempted to reflash CM12 but the flash would just hang on "skipping md5 verification" or whatever it says and nothing is ever shown on the progress bar. Only way of getting out is to hold the power button and turn the tablet off which of course breaks it. Luckily I can use odin to flash the stock firmware and have my tablet working again. However I was very impressed with the new android and would really like to run it. Is there a way to flash CM12 with odin?
Thanks.

No help? Is it possible to use goomanager on these tablets?

Make sure you use LP gapps and not kitkat gapps.
Wipe system and factory reset / wipe data, install cm, install gapps, reboot. That is all that is needed.

I was using lp gapps. The problem is now I cant install anything from any recovery. Tried twrp and cwm with the same result, it says no md5 fou d skipping validation then just hangs there and never makes progress on the bar even after setting for some time.
The only reason my tab didnt get bricked is thankfully it was able to go into download mode and flash a stock rom with odin.

Got it flashed and this time gapps worked first try! After enable mtp it worked first try. Loving cm12 so far this is how this tablet should perform out of the box.

Could you explain how you manage to fix that ?
I'm currently having the same issue with my 8.4 tab pro wifi cm12-20150108-nightly.

I'm having the same issue here. What GAPPS APK are you guys using as well? I was on 6.5.99 (-036) and it wasn't working. I'm going to try 6.5.99 (-436) next.
Edit: flashing (-436) didn't fix it.

Best way to currently install marshmallow after failed attempts

Hi, after trying to use philz recovery to flash a ROM on to my device I got what I think was called a soft brick where I had to download and flash the stock ROM.
My device (GT-N7100) is now not rooted again and back to square one. Any problems I come across occur from using old tutorials with dead links so if someone could recommend a tutorial to install a custom rom like 5.1 I would be very grateful. Thanks
EDIT. I found this guide on youtube http://mytechtube.in/samsung-galaxy-note2-rooting.html + http://mytechtube.in/samsung-galaxy-note2-6-0-1.html . Does it look like it will work?

Flash twrp using Odin, then flash a custom rom via twrp.

Root your phone first. Flash recovery like twrp and install custom rom like Resurrection remix the ROM is stable most of the things works and good as daily driver.

Root is not required to flash TWRP. TWRP can be flashed directly to the phone using Odin.

Should I just use the latest version of TWRP direct from their website https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote2n7100.html ?
I think my phone code name is t03g how can i confirm?
Thanks
EDIT. Just installed TWRP :good: now on to picking a good ROM. will have a look at the ressurection one too.
To install apps that require root should O root it now or do some ROMS root it for me?
Sorry for the amount of questions

The easiest way to install twrp would be to flash the tar version using Odin.

Most custom Roms come prerooted. If the rom is not rooted, you can flash supersu.zip from recovery.
Root can be enabled on cm13 under developer options in settings.

Thanks for the info. I've watched some videos of cm13 and I so far thats what im going with. Will look for a youtube video to help with installing it.

To install, download cm13 to an sad card, wipe cache, wipe system, wipe data, install cm13 zip from ad card, reboot.
Cm13 does not come with Google apps (gapps) so you'll have to decide which version you want.

I didnt realise that before. Could I for example install any of the GAPPS from this link https://devs-lab.com/android-gapps-download.html " full google apps" or pico google apps ?
From whatI gather GAPPS are installed straight after rom install before root though is this the same in cm13?

Flash CM13, flash Gapps, reboot.
I like open gapps frome here: http://opengapps.org/

Perfect Im going to try that in the next hour. I like the look of aroma. For platform would I select ARM and android 6.0?
EDIT. Found the answer it was ARM.

Arm as I believe your phone has a Qualcomm processor.

Yeah was ARM as I just installed CM13. Thank you seriously headig your way.

Hopefully, everything works.
Now that you have twrp on your phone, you can use it to create a backup of everything in your phone, including time efs folder. Save the efs folder in a safe place in case you need to restore it to the phone at a later date.
After making a backup, you can flash other Roms and you can return to cm13 by restoring your backup.

Just getting familiar with it. Thanks for the help.
Do you know if there's settings to turn screen on during during calls because it works with the front sensor and that sensor is broke on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

You could try disabling the proximity sensor in the phone so the phone screen doesn't blank out during a call.

Got it sorted using an app from the play store.

Hi, phones been running great until yesterday when it started telling me the disk space was nearly full(via es filee xplorer). It then turned off a few times and i turned it on again. The phone would shut off if I tried to do anything like launch the camera app. It now bootloops when i try to turn it on.
I have tried wiping dalvic cache, factory reset, recover from a recovery point i made when i installed the rom and reinstalling the custom rom like I did the first time.
The phone did once go into a boot animation of the old boot screen(02 animation), another time it started the miui boot logo but went back to the normal samsung galaxy note 2 boot loop.
Any suggestions on how i could get it running again? Thanks!

Magisk on Verizon Note 4

Hello everyone,
As I'm sure everyone knows, Niantic has blocked rooted phones from playing with the most current update 0.37. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find a ROM that will work on our phones and we can install magisk to be able to play with the latest update. If not, is there any other possible solution to play with the use of magisk or without giving up root completely. I'm currently running PaulPizz and have not tried any of the possible methods I have found from fear of losing root permanently. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas.
Thank you.

Try going to the Samsung Note 4 international section.. I just flashed a Note 7 port to my wife's phone and it rocks..

Could you possibly link to which one? Is it this one? Xerrum525 N7 FullFramework PortedRom for SM-N910C / SM-N910H
Also did you use magisk with it to use pokemon go?

I'd like to know too.
What I did was install PaulPizz. Once it finished I deleted the SuperSU folder via TWRP.
It booted up fine, I still had the SU app in my drawer, I did full unroot via SU. I then flashed the uninstall for Xposed and now I can play pogo.
I Haven't been able to get Magisk to work... I get unable to detect boot image. I'm unrooted for now on PaulPizz and can play PoGo 0.37

I downloaded an older version of the app from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/.
I uninstalled the new version. Reinstalled the older. Ran fine. I've heard they'll force an update sooner or later but its good for now.
I also made sure to turn off auto app updated in settings.

I did find a solution using PaulPizz and magisk. It relatively follows most other tutorials. Plus I found a way to toggle magisk with tasker, if anyone is interested. I'll post a step by step tomorrow or possibly later tonight. Sorry to make everyone wait.

So this is how I got it work with PaulPizz ROM for Verizon Note 4 retail converted to Dev edition.
I take no credit for the creation of the files required for this install, but I kind of muttled my way through this installation and got the files from different posts so credit is to go to the creators of these files, I am just redistributing. If someone feels the need to take credit for these please feel free to let me know.
Make sure to download all apks and zips before and place on sd card before hand to save time. I have also included the uninstaller for magisk version of xposed if you would like, do not use this one during the installation of magisk to remove xposed though.
Only flash xposed and install apk if you still want xposed, if not you can skip those files.
1. Do a full backup of phone using TWRP
2. Go into SuperSU settings and do full unroot
3. Reboot into recovery and mount system partion
4. Go to advanced in recovery and select File explorer
5. Navigate to system and delete .supersu file
6. Flash xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm.zip and reboot system
7. Install pokemon go 0.37 and make sure it works at this point
8. Reboot into recovery again and flash Magisk-v6.zip, 1473968610260_phh-superuser-17-magisk.zip, and 1473980489208_xposed-v86.5-arm-alt-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip
9. Clear dalvik and cache and reboot system
10. After apps optimize install Magisk manager and Xposed Installer
11. Reboot and enjoy playing the new update. Just use Magisk Manager to turn root on/off at will before or after playing.
I'm going to create the tasker profile tomorrow and post instruction on that once completed to automatically activate Magisk when opening pokemon go.
If there are any questions, I will do my best to answer.

When are you getting that, when you flash the zip or install the apk? I'm guessing that's when you flash the included Magisk_6.zip. You are rooted using the retail to dev on an N910V model? I would maybe backup your current system and restore from before you unrooted and try again possibly.

Thanks again, it looks like the only difference was that I was on CPF3.r-2.
I tried going back to CPD1 and still no luck.
I appreciate you letting me know.

I used the Kyubi rom and uninstalled root with supersu and installed all of the magisk stuff and it works like a charm. All of the xposed modules work good too with the system less xposed. It takes a while to boot up after flashing magisk and clearing cache but worth it. The buddy system is pretty cool lol

Well I have magisk installed but I dont know if the xposed went through entirely it says it flashed ok but according to the installer I don't have xposed installed? What's going on did I do something wrong

Did you remove the old xposed app after the flag and install the new xposed apk also? I think mine did the same, because I forgot to also install the xposed app after flashing the systemless xposed framework.

I was able to full unroot, delete the super su file in twrp. when I flash the Xposed uninstaller it removes the framework but leaves the APk in a form that I can't delete.
If I flash magisk and all the other stuff it goes through fine, but when I try to toggle root off in magisk it turns itself back on within a few seconds. I'm assuming this is because i didn't get Xposed all the way off?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

Magisk will refuse to unroot while xposed is still there in the system form. Even a piece of it.

Well now I got Xposed off using tibu before I unroot. Everything installed, systemless Xposed registered as being active, but when I try to toggle root in magisk I get the same thing with it turning itself back on. If I try to request root privileges from an app I am told i have no root.
Ideas?
