[LINK][ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-L900-LJC-(LJC Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock)

Hello Everyone Sextape and the Gang Here,
We will no longer releasing the actual TAR only One Click versions
Here it is! Sorry for the delay!
Thanks to Garwynn for Making the OC
This is a tar for the latest firmware Samsung Galaxy Note II Sprint Variant:
We do have LK8 but its going under testing with other members we have cherry picked to test.

LK8: Found Here

HELP NEEDED PM GARWYNN
Even though LK8 OTA .ZIP is posted I still need a volunteer to root and dump system.img (MMCBLK0P13) so I can make a rooted one click.
Here's the basic steps to make sure we get a clean LJC root restore version:
1. Flash LJC stock restore in Post #1.
Although this should be the same as the OTA process it's better to be safe and know for sure.
2. Download this file: http://garwynn.rainmotorsport.net/subusybox.zip and place on SD card.
3. Flash custom recovery
4. Flash the subusybox.zip and reboot.
5. Dump MMCBLK0P13 partition to a file.
I know the command but don't know the GN2 file structure to tell you where to put it.
So just replace <somewhere> with a valid path (i.e. /data/, /sdcard/, etc.)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/<somewhere>/factoryfs_orig.img bs=4096
6. Upload that file and send me the link please by PM.
Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help! I can finish up the rest on my side - just hard to do dumps when you don't have an E4GT
Like our work go to our site and click an AD it helps ​

awesome. many thanks man!

SOOOO GLAD I MADE THE LEAP TO THIS DEVICE FROM THE E4GT! (& THIS IS WHY) THANKS SEXTAPE!

Doh! See what you mean. Repacking now.
*Edit* Mirror #2 is good to go now - sorry for the mixup!

Anyone need the actual tar? I can post it if needed

Did anyone or can anyone flash this and copy the text box from Odin so I can get the flash order?
Last thing I need to make one clicks for this build.
Thanks!

Update 12/11:
Thanks to some info from hayabusa1300cc and billard412 we've got a working Stock and Rooted restore uploading for LJC.
I have one more thing to verify to get the nodata versions up.
One big note that I didn't know starting this - Full Restores, unlike the E4GT, wipes data which includes USB internal memory.
Make sure that you are aware of this when using that version.
Checking into a way that removes app data but not USB storage if possible.

One other note:
TAR versions of the one clicks will be made available for those who need them.
I am uploading them at the same time and will release them all at the same time.
Just need to get it all to the mirror servers..

Well, was going to wait for TAR files... but they won't probably be ready until tonight.
So I've posted what I can do without getting on rwilco's repository - the rest ill be up when he can do it!
Please click the link in OP to get to the one click packages.
TARs will be posted as soon as they are mirrored. If you need before then PM me and I might be able to help.
(Sorry, running out of room on Dev Host, LJC one clicks alone took almost 3 GB!)
Thanks for everyone's patience while we work out the "kinks" in the system!

Garwynn, last night I went to SXTP Developers site. Downloaded and flashed the LJC tar in the stock restore exe and I still am getting chameleon force closes. Not sure if it was the new version yet? Thanks for your hard work and any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Will try to look at it tonight... real life has interrupted my efforts this week

Morning update! Mirror #1 is up along with the TAR files. My deepest apologies for the delays!
Stock Restore is exactly what was leaked by Team Sextape and wipes out everything except your external SD card. If it didn't do that then something else is going on. Everything is good now and should work, so also suggest try downloading again if unsure.

well, this is annoying. I seem to be stuck with the "hands free activation" and chameleon fc.
i'm assuming a nice total stock one click should fix it?

interestingly, it didn't fix it... "preparing network", "hands free" and chameleon FC on every reboot. this is after the rooted full restore OC. what am I missing? weird.
(history: I was rooted stock w/ twrp from the mskip toolkit method of rooting, got rid of twrp using the mrRobinson stock w/ root, and flashed the sxtp update to lk8, got a wifi failbug and tried to get back to stock rooted using mrRobinson and started getting this issue. lol. ok. so... one-clicked your rooted full restore, still there. is that even possible?)
well, my phone seems to work, as long as I don't reboot.
but I find it worrisome.
have to sleep for work now, but if you had any advice for things to try when I wake up, let me know? thanks dood.

Another I think I'm bricked thread

I have looked through some of the threads on bricked phones and none have seemed to help. Right now all that shows up is Samsung. I found a video that said to get a file from samsung-update so I did. I used Odin to flash that and everything seems fine. This all started after I decided to try and go back to stock from liquid smooth. I just wasn't a fan of it and wanted to try tomorrow for a touchwiz rom. When I tried to flash back it didn't work so I thought if I used the tool kit to unroot it would put the original stock back. All it did was unroot. Any help? When I check my flash count it is around 4. If they check that at Sprint will I be able to have my phone fixed or will I just be SOL?

Hello shazo85,
If you can get to download mode (which it sounds like you can, seeing your flash counter), you can flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Try this thread and here download the package for your device.

Its shows if you have flashed a custom rom and another way for carriers to know if you have rooted your phone. So every time you flash a custom rom rom your phone counts it. But you can always reset the flash counter with triangle away.

It is exactly what it's called it counts the number of flashes you do lol you can see it by going into download mode(volume down +power) it will be in the top right corner.

True however I'm the type of person that has to make sure I know what I'm doing to unroot also. So now that I'm rooted again I want to unroot and make sure I do it right. Then find a touchwiz rom that I like that is fully working.

Ok, look for the "ODIN 1-clicks" thread, it takes you back to stock, stock recovery, and resets your flash counter in one
As for good touchwiz roms, I would recommend either MOAR (Mother of All ROMS) or TPR (the peoples rom)
You can find both in the "Android development" subforum"

I will check them out. I'm currently trying to use the toolkit that was posted to unroot. I'm sitting at the TWRP ADB Sideload screen now. All I have is a bar at the bottom and above it cancel. I'm guessing it is installing adb sideload filename.zip? Not sure how long this will take. I will look for the ODIN 1-clicks thread later. To help narrow it down any idea as to what forum it was posted in?

Thanks. TWRP seems to be taking a long time to install the files it needs to do the sideload. Nothing seems to have changed, but when I try to go further in the toolkit it just gives me an error that it can't find the device.

Just saw your other post in my thread and it sounds like you didnt do it correctly. Interested to see the output from the box on the one click, with that said load this onto your sdcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------
Also I just noticed your OP says you came from liquidsmooth. That is CM10.1 based. CM10.1 does not show the galaxy S3 screen when booting. Which tells me that u still have that kernel and a touchwiz based system. Whatever you did to return from liquidsmooth didnt flash a new kernel. You also have to wipe before switching back to a touchwiz rom like stock, my zip above is a fix for all that

Thanks, I will give that a shot. The link was posted above by someone. I didn't know that was the same one you were talking about. Seems like it isn't as easy to root, flash and even to unroot the S3 as it was the EVO 4G. I only had issues with some roms on that.

This is a samsung. Its easier than any HTC to unroot and go back to stock. Your just not used to it yet

Agreed. Samsung bootloader is unlocked by default. That means rooting is as simple as an Odin flash of a recovery. With HTC (locked bootloader), you had to use a program such as unrevoked to gain access to it. And each and every update HTC tried to re-lock the bootloader, so it was difficult to know if you should update (this is one reason why we get so many threads on here that say "how do I root with MB1?!?!?!").
As far as I'm aware, rooting with GS3 has been accomplished using the same method for quite a while.
Now, rooting using the Odin method is a bit more involved than it was with unrevoked, but really the only steps are clicking through a couple of files. The steps are stated clearly. It's just new and feels different. I was really wary of using Odin (still am, if I can be honest), but I was much more uncomfortable with unrevoked.

Samsungs seem harder because everybody and their mother has a tutorial on how to root it and nobody uses the most quick, clear cut 30-sec root possible, CF AUTO ROOT is easy and quick as hell, yet people treat it like the redheaded step child and ignore its presence. I dont get why
*Not lying when i say 30-sec either.
FInd me an easier method than that

More information on CF Auto-Root:
Website (look up d2spr in the big table).
XDA Thread. Has instructions and further clarifications.
I had honestly never heard of it before, but it seems like a good (and quick) option for getting root from stock.

Could be that I'm just not used to it. I only ever had to root the EVO if I was coming back from Sprint. If I remember right the unroot was just load up 2 zip files. Nice that this is just one to unroot. I will have to look into that CF Auto Root.
I too was one of those people looking for how to root MBI. I didn't know it was all the same. Chances are I would have never donated to the toolkit if I would have known. I also would have never used the toolkit. It would be nice if we had just one thread on rooting instead of 3 or 4 that we have. Might be less confusing that way.
EDIT: Forgot to say that the zip file for the unroot and counter reset did work. I had my phone back up and working just as I clocked in for work. All night I have had apps downloading.

It would have to be an Odin flashable file as no custom recovery for att, and the locked bootloader would reject the tar file.

You can root it using the T-Mobile S6 chainfire auto-root tar that you flash in ODIN, but I wouldn't recommend it right now, there's pretty bad battery drain after rooting because it's not the right recovery for our device.

I don't mind a battery drain. Its that I have a note 2 and am gonna upgrade to a new phone because I am selling my phone. I use my phone for my internet for computer and watching TV at home so if I don't get it rooted or custom ROM with WiFi thether or mobile hotspot I am gonna be internetless and forget that. I am sure someone will make a custom ROM I just need to find out where to get tar files for root and tar files to unroot aoni can get them and root phone and when they figure out phone better and ROMs etc I will switch it. Can you provide me with info links etc please? Thank you soo much for your reply

deep sleep fix

Does this mean it's "safe" to root using the T-Mobile Chainfire method. Is the No-sleep issue the only one?

This has been pretty covered in multiple threads. Yes its safe, just flash the recovery.img from sm-g920p after rooting

That may be true but I find it curious that there is only one post in the Development section and no custom ROMS. Frankly I can wait until Chainfire or whomever makes a good root and unlock. Call me cautious.

Fair enough, i waited to hear some feedback before trying. But everything works i promise :good: can at least remove everything not wanted, in the mean time while dev is making its way.

Hoping to put up a deodexed rooted base this weekend.

I got the hotspot / tethering working perfectly without rooting. Besides since there is no root available I read it will permanently disable Samsung Pay

i tried this method and it didn't work

update
heres a update i used pingpong root to root phone so it is rooting and very easy to do if anyone wants to root easy. so now that is is rooted i would like to not have to pay every month for the hotspot so i would need a way of tricking sprint that i am not using the hotspot when i am so that it seems like i am serving the internet etc!!!

[Q] Stock

ok, i am running Lollipop 5.0.1 on SM-N910P, my question is if i go and get the current rooted .img and flash it using ODIN, would it trip my knox? sence it would be a stock Kernel. i have Tried KingoRoot, Pingpong root, Towelroot, Activeroot, SuperRoot, king-root. i am having such a hard time with this, only had the phone sence February and i dont want to trip knox.
or would it be possible to install a modified signature .ZIP of superuser and install it on normal recovery? thanks

Knox II will trip with any root method; none known that won't trip Knox for Note 4.
CF Auto Root will work in Odin for your OE1 build but you're limited to CM12 or Noterized Stable for custom ROMs; the others won't boot and full Odin stock tars won't work and there's no OE1 tar either. This is not a standard Sprint OTA; I don't think a OE1 tar will be released; it's long overdue.
If you're still interested, there's a request for stock OE1 recovery; it needs to be backed up and shared in order to help some other rooted OE1 users to take the next OTA to 5.1.1 whenever that releases. Without it, you would be waiting on a tar as well; stuck. To get the recovery backed up, root in Odin (root only), download Flashify in Google Play and backup the stock recovery before you upgrade to TWRP. Share that gem with others that need it. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61456449
Still with me? Next you would need TWRP to backup your stock rooted OE1 for a backup if some flash or mod goes awry.
Finally, you could modify the stock Rom or flash Noterized and back it up as well. Keep all these recommended backups in a safe place like on your sdcard and duplicates on PC hard drive.
Read, be careful and ask the questions when you don't understand and you'll avoid the problems others have unexpectedly ran into or got stuck with. OE1 is basically a broken update that shouldn't have got pushed.

Yeah I only want root for the WiFi tether for root and sound boost, o well I will just stick with PDAnet. I was hoping there was something out there. But I am familiar with rooting very well, this is the 1st time that I am stumped and getting frustrated with it. But at least I asked though

It's still just as simple; just fewer choices with OE1. Some have said Bluetooth is broken in some applications of its purpose, IDK for sure.
I made the request for the stock recovery which would add an extra step if you chose to help.
If Knox trip is a concern, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Just to clarify...
I could post some links if that helps? Want them posted?

I will help, but I don't know coding or any development things, yeah knox trip is a big concern, (when I had my s4 I rooted and tripped knox, the SIM card error poped up and sprint said sorry we can't do anything Warrinty is void, only had it 9 months).... yes Pease

Did it still have custom recovery or root or mods installed when warranty was denied? Backing up these may help, if needed. Can't guarantee that but I'd try another service facility if turned down initially. Just tell them we never had this conversation. Lately, I'm hearing Sprint is cracking down on root. I've had conversations with tech and admitted I root as a right. It's not illegal but warranty is becoming another subject.
I'll post the links here shortly if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Nope everytime I took it to a sprint store I flashed it back to complete stock and made sure that the newest version of Android was on it. He is like your knox sensor is tripped. Then I said. "I messed up my phone bad and had to flash stock firmware back on it (when I got the note 4, the chick who sold it to me used to work for Samsung and we where talking about rooting, and then I asked about the sensor if it can be reversed she said, once it is tripped not even samsung can fix it) and damn I did not know sprint was cracking down on root. That's crappy

Links and steps to root OE1, backing up stock recovery
CF Auto root Download SM-N910P; follow OP for instructions. (Use Odin)
Flashify use to backup stock recovery. (Share using link in post 2 above; thanks in advance.)
Use Flashify app to get TWRP recovery (select latest tar, not zip; Odin tar is optional and TWRP Manager is optional: ) You'll need to make a stock nandroid backup once you have custom recovery.
Noterized stable 2 follow OP for install instructions; it will flash over OE1. (If so inclined to stay with TouchWiz custom ROM) TWRP/nandroid backup again; label these backups and keep safe.

^^ Sticky this beautiful answer to the ever lasting-never ending redundant OE1 question. Eventually we'll need some thread pruning.

So I understand.
Samsung is the one who would release the tar right and you are saying they have not released it because it is buggy?

Consider the facts as we know them. Sprint shouldn't have released it; it's the ugly duckling of a long string of unlocked bootloaders for dancing phones on Sprint. There's a new OS lock intended to protect the owner of a lost phone from easily being written over to bypass a screen lock with a battery pull and Odin tar. But there should also be a user switch to momentary bypass this so Odin wouldn't have been totally broken to rightful owner. Maybe Samsung didn't intend for that to happen and Sprint didn't know better? But since as some have reported that Bluetooth is not fully functional; Sprint should have caught that. I'd say they both collectively hold the blame since it wasn't immediately addressed. I'd blame Sprint more for not halting the update, infecting more users. Hopefully, they're trying to fix that. Maybe they were but decided to work on 5.1.1 update instead?
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...; it must be a duck. It sounds odd to many here, from what I've read. But this is an ugly one. They both should own it, admit it, fix with an immediate update and move on. Until then, make the most of it; apparently, you can't expect a fix by taking it back to Sprint and some warranty replacements had the update pre-installed or quickly updated. Just plain wrong; a definition of insanity.
Maybe mostly opinionated but specifically, are there exceptions to the above for those that got OE1? I think there were some that said the only drawback is not being able to downgrade or recover a soft bricked phone. I could be wrong but just impressed by those OE1 users that have commented.
Edit: short answer is yes because users could update in KIES and that would make Samsung directly to blame for those users. Silence seems to indicate the bugs exist. And may signal a user need to wait for tars to be released which indicates Samsung deems the release as stable.

So I just got a new update, does anyone know anything about it?
