Samsung SPH-L900 KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3 Rooting & ROMs - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

What is the safest way to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ( SPH-L900 ) KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3 running 4.4.2 ?
Any suggestions on the best ROM to use ? The phone is currently 100% stock.
Thanks

The rooting process is covered at the thread I've linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/general/how-to-root-nk2-fix-boot-loop-ne2-to-t3049036
As for which ROM to use... I like to stay stock but with root, no knox and deodexed. If you favor AOSP, there's many to choose from in the development sections.

Thank you ... worked perfectly on OH3 ! Took your suggestion on staying with root/no knock/deodexed. Know of any fix for the extra spaces bug with text suggestion ?

Downloaded keyboard fix multiple times from different mirrors. When trying to flash zip from extsd it says invalid signature !

Hmm, that's strange. I just downloaded it and flash it and didn't encounter any errors. You can toggle signature check off in Philz Touch Recovery from the Install Zip menu.

Thanks disabling signature check worked. And a huge thank you for posting a fix for that extremely annoying bug - it works perfectly !

Not sure what happened in your case. If you're on OH3 and would like root as well as the ROM being deknoxed and deodexed, feel free to try my mine at the thread below.

You should actually READ the instructions before flashing anything or applying any mods to your Phone, if more People did xda wouldn't be filled with pointless posts like this reporting things have absolutely nothing to do with the ROM/kernel/mod or whatever.

Trouble with that is, the original post makes no mention of a new kernel. And there's nothing on the FXP Google site, either about a new kernel for 201.
I would've thought a problem with wifi would definitely be a problem with the ROM/kernel/mod. Trouble with this site is there are far too many posts knocking people down - and with a thread that's only 7 posts long prior to this, a little patience and a point in the right direction to the kernel sources - as you appear to know everything there is to know - wouldn't have gone amiss.

What's in the instructions for flashing....
FXP said:
HOWTO
Install instructions:
1. Install a Recovery (there are some around this forum)
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash gapps
4. Wipe (only required 1st time)
5. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

I've replied to a post in the exact same manner I would of with someone who had made 50,000 posts, should you read the instructions before flashing anything, YES as I've stated, and if you or anyone else doesn't like my opinion in response to a user who's started a thread to report an issue then gone on to state they haven't followed all the instructions, tough, you either understand my methods or you don't.
The kernel is in the zip they downloaded which they should already know as they've been running 151.

thanks for your help, because i have been upgrading from 147 to 151 without flashing the boot.img in the zip file, so i would assume that i dont have to flash it, because the wifi was working all along when i upgraded to the different versions
now that i have flashed the new kernal, it works all fine now!! thanks for everyone who has helped though!

ALWAYS update the kernel, then if you do run in to issues like this you know it's something else.

Android 4.3 on Korean Note 2?

Hi guys!
First of all I am sorry for posting in this forum but I believe Korean Note 2 is similar in many aspect to N7105 and also there are devs who can read and maybe come up with something.
I have a question for you. Has anyone tried an Android 4.3 custom ROM on e250s (Korean Note 2) ? I am currently on 4.1.2, a combination of Milan 3.0 and Milan 4.0 (I think this ROMs are also for N7105 because in About device section my phone appears to be a N7105 after flashing), with some stock kernel and cwm. I have tried a few 4.3 ROMs for N7105 (CM 10.2, Beanstalk, Illusion) but all get stuck at the boot logo (Samsung Galaxy Note 2). I even tried different kernels, compatible with 4.3 (SJKernel and NeKo) but again, with no luck.
Do you have a solution, link, idea?
Thanks in advance guys!

Vibration issue
Hi guys!
Is anyone else having issues with vibrations when using a N7105 ROM (with Android 4.2.2 or 4.3)? I mean the phone does not vibrate at all.
Do you know a fix or something?

Hi. This is the link to the boot converter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36885456
All you have to do is flash this zip file from cwm after you first flash the ROM.
I have tried Illusion and PAC-MAN ROMs (N7105, Android 4.3) and also MIUI v5 for N7105 (Android 4.2.2) and all work fine.
There may be some ROMs (PAC-MAN) that give you "error 7" when flashing. You have to change the first line from META-INF/com/google/android/update script.
How I do that. I prefer to change the ROMs extension from zip to apk, then unzip it using APK Tool and go to the file, change extention to .txt and delete the first line (the one that starts with assert), thus the first line becoming the one with "show progress" or "mount". After that I zip it again with APK Tool and sign the ROM with ApkSign. I do not know why, I cannot sign it with APK Tool. After that, the flashing process should go fine. You have to install the right GApps for the ROM you are being flashing and then the boot converter from the link.
The only issue I have found was the absence of vibrations, but I managed to get it back by flashing Thor Kernel for Note 2, like cbeta1111 and eggymustdie told me. So huge thanks to them.
Good luck! Hope you will manage to install the desired ROM. In my opinion, PAC-MAN ROM is the best so far, with many, many options from CM, AOKP and Paranoid Android ROMs.

Thanks for detail response
I am using TWRP touch custom recovery. would this process work for TWRP?
I did not get second part about changing first line from META-INF/com/google/android/update script. where is that? You mean first line of custom 4.3/4.2 ROMs we are going to install?
and also do call recoding work in 4.3/4.2 PAC ROMS because i actually use this function and multi windows ?
This is dev forum, not Q&A. All questions should go in questions forum.

Hi. It should definitely work with TWRP recovery as it installs like a normal zip file ROM.
The update script file is located in the ROM. You have to unzip it and go to that location as I have said in the anterior post.
Call recording works but I did not figured yet how to play the file after it is saved. It saves the file as a .3gpp but I think the problem is with Android 4.3 codecs.
EDIT: It works if you try to play it from the built in file manager. Not with Root Explorer. Do not know why.
Multiwindows work great in PAC-MAN ROM:

I built this Rom to hopefully kick start a little development for the M919N.
Please use it as a base with which to create Roms, Themes and Mods from our firmware.
Its also great for M919N users who want a fully working rooted and deodexed stock Rom
with only minor modifications that you can flash in recovery.

Thanks for the screenshot, that helps a lot.
Please go to "settings/more/about device" and check the build number and the baseband version. They should be the same version.
If they are not the same, that is what is causing the "prevention notification" you are getting. Most likely the result of going from a Tmobile Rom to this MetroPCS Rom. They each have different basebands. There are two possible fixes I've read about.
The first is the easiest, just flash the Tmobile rom you were using before. That should take care of the wifi and "prevention notification" and different baseband issues. This means you cant use this rom though.
The second is more time consuming but if you really want to get this metroPCS Rom running this is what you need to do:
Go to this thread Unofficial M919NUVUAMF2 Working!!!! and follow the directions to return the phone back to MetroPCS 100% stock via Odin.
Then install the recovery of your choice, OUDHS, TWRP, CWM, whatever you prefer.
Then flash this Rom again.
Let me know how it works out.

Thanks for your help and you are absolutely correct! Unfortunately there's no radio zip to flash for our phone and I have yet to make one. I'm no dev, I just follow directions reasonably well. I have yet to find a guide to make a flash-able radio zip and honestly, I'm working on something else at the moment, so I haven't really looked. For now, the fix I gave is the only fix for this issue. In the future that will probably change. Thanks again for your assistance

Tmobile TWRP is what I use too, though there are versions that dont work properly for our phone.
Version 2.5.0.2 is definitely working for our phone.
Why dont you stop by here:

Its a place for the MetroPCS S4
Check out the posts, including a thread that walks you through installing a recovery and easy rooting.
I look forward to seeing you there. Say hello when you do.
strange things are happening
I never had this problem before, I have downloaded the zip 4 times thinking I did something wrong with the process as simple as it is .lol
Used the stock my files app to copy the zip to the 64gb external sd card and even this last time I created a couple folders and put it in there although when I boot to recovery and factory reset then chose zip fromexternal sd card its not there and whats weird even more is I see an older file that I have deleted several times back again, its the root_zip I used with odin to originally root the device. Crazy huh I think the sd card must be damaged.

4.3 ROMs?

What ROMs are okay to flash if you have the Knox bootloader. Im so confused about this Knox thing. Ive read if it doesnt change your bootloader you will be fine and others saying i have to wait for a stok mk3 .tar (i do believe thats the right one) file to be available. one dev posted a rooted 4.3 rom and he said this wont mess with the bootloader. im just nervous dont want to brick my phone. someone please help and shed some light on this confusing situation
This should be Q and A section, and Cnexus posted a FAQ about this in general section....

I'm running the cm11/kitkat experimental build and I have the new knox bootloader, the rom requires some tweaking, I will post it soon if the original dev doesnt incorporate my fixes.

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: you can flash any rom you want.
Only one catch: do not EVER Odin a full stock tar with version < MK3 to your device or you will instantly brick.

Thank you. First answer I've been able to understand. Just stay away from Odin and .tar files. About to flash your ROM so I can have root and from what I've been reading pretty good battery life as well. Thanks for your work man.

I've been running it with ART and I haven't had it reboot on me yet. I think once I was doing something with the camera gallery and the camera 'broke" and required a restart but I can't remember if that was when I was playing with cm10.2 or cm11.

well if this is the case than how did you get CM11 working? did you just download and flash from the OP if so can you share the link with me. And what is ART?

The original ROM checks for "know" baseband versions to make sure you dont try flashing the ROM on the wrong device. I had to unpack the ROM, add support for the new baseband and then repack the ROM inorder to get it to install. I also change he kernel cmdline to set SELinux to permissive mode by default (like it was in 4.3). I will post the tweaked ROM shortly.

Ok.... Thank you so much!!! I will give it another try after this one didnt work... I had given up but I will try and flash again.... I will let you know the turnout
Thanks for the ROM. I'll be testing and report back on how it works for me.
One issue I immediately see if that wifi seems to not be working for me. Every time I try and turn it on, it is either greyed out and I can't toggle it, or if I am able to toggle it, it just doesn't do anything. I rebooted, still same issue. I think I flashed it properly (I wiped data, cache, dalvik, system), but I may try flashing again.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix for this?
EDIT: Did a second full wipe and flash and still no wifi. Everything else seems to work connection wise, airplane mode, bluetooth, mobile data, just not wifi.
Already fix that problem
A new update should be here soon it is being uploading to mega wifi is fix

DPI change?
Hey, the ROM is still going smooth. No real issues so far (except my battery life isn't as good as before, but it's not terrible or anything).
I have been trying to change the DPI on this ROM, but I have not been able to make it stick. I have tried using the build prop editor app as well as directly editing the build prop via ES File Explorer. Neither has worked. Has anyone been able to change their DPI or is there something specific that I need to do to get it working?
