*Note – Before you can install custom ROM, you need to root your Galaxy Note 2!
Why root my Galaxy Note 2? Please see this video explanation.
*Compatibility Note – All AT&T, T-Mobile, and GT-N7105 ROMs are compatible, the only differences are the modems. Most custom ROMs do not install modems so you should be fine. E.g. You can install AT&T ROMs on GT-N7105 or install GT-N7105 ROMs on T-Mobile. If for some reason the custom ROM flashes modem, you can easily fix it by flashing the correct modem for you Galaxy Note 2.
*Compatibilty Note 2 – For Korean Galaxy Note 2s SHV-E250 series, you can also install any AT&T, T-Mobile, or GT-N7105 ROMs so long as you install a compatible kernel for your Korean Note 2 (SKT, KT, LG U+) You can use SJKernels for all Korean Note 2s.
US Cellular Note 2 can run Sprint ROMs with converter kernels, for details see here.

How to get OTA updates after rooting?
We recommend you install rooted stock ROMs instead (so you don’t have to re-root) but if you want to take OTA, you can re-install stock recovery.

Hello, I’ve just bought my new Note 2 and I have a problem to restore my old wifi APN (all the wifis that were memorized on my old Galaxy S). The problem is that I cannot user Titanium Backup on the old one. I have tried with the MyBackup Pro (with root user on both phones) but when I tried to restore on the Note 2 I have a message like “This Android version forbits to restore APNs”.
Can anybody help me?
I found a solution! There is a file in /data/wifi with all the list of the wifi networks and passwords. I did it manually.
I Just Bought The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) & My Question Was… Will There Ever Be a Way To Install a Modem So It Can Work aon T-Mobile Or AT&T 3G/4G Networks…. Like You Did With The Galaxy Note i717?
Not sure yet but it’s certainly a possibility.
Kool Bro….. Keep Us Posted….. n Keep Up The GREAT WORK 😉
Can I still get updates for my note 2 after I’ve rooted it?
Also, is it possible to get the phone back to original state?
Cheers!
I rooted my phone with CWM and Odin. I’m new to Android, so I’m not sure if that means that I still have the Stock-ROM. But apparently not, because I can’t update my phone. I’ve read that it should be possible to “un-root” the phone and get the stock-rom back so it’s just like a new phone again. Could you write a guide on how to fix this issue? Sadly, I did not backup my ROM before I rooted with CWM.
Great site and great videos! Thanks!
And also, I know you have a video “How to backup/restore”, it’s just that I forgot to backup before I rooted the phone. And I assume that’s the big issue here and I hope it’s possible to fix.
Thanks agian.
Yes it is possible, I will upload soon!
i rooted my phone GT-N7100 yesterday. i wanted the dual screen function and i realised that my phone couldnt do that n tt they suggested i upgrade my rom tru kies. but the upgrade failed and now my screen in stuck at “downloading… do not turn off target!!” how do i proceed? PLZ help me!!!
after you root your phone. can you still upgrade firmware from kies?
my current firmware: PDA:LIH / PHONE:LIA CSC:LIA(XME)
the upgraded firmware: PDA:LJ3 / PHONE:LJ1 CSC:LJ3(XME)
and I want to do it through kies. is it possible?
(Im sorry but Im a total noob here)

Any Thought On The ANDRIOD REVOLUTION HD ROM? & Will You Post Up a Video Review & Tutorial On How To Install It?
Max according to the change logs this would be good test. Interested in the performance and battery life.
Great site! I am planning on getting the VZW. I have never rooted before, and I will likely do so. However, I believe VZW’s version will come witha locked bootloader. Will I need to unlock it before rooting! Will you be adding tutorials for VZW version? I really don’t want to brick my phone…
max
can the n2 7100 have twrp installed over cwm safely.
and does the apps2sd function in rom manager work with this phone,
cheers phil
Anybody installed both the wanamlite and revolution HD ROMs? Which is better from a battery and performance view
Is there a revolutiin hd available for the att note 2, I was told there wasn’t?
Hi max
I have come across 2 problems, I have an n7100 the wanamlite rom, gmail 4.2 apk installed and a successful app2sd swap, the problem is s planner crashes every time I go to edit or add something. And Samsung App Store doesn’t seem to want to load. Could these probs be caused by the apps 2 sd, I did copy everything across to the sd card.
Is there away to get the apk’s of these 2 apps to see if a reinstall cures it
Cheers phil
Ps if I can’t cure it no problem as I prefer to keep the setup I have now.
hi max!after rooting my phone the dual screen capability will be disabled??
hi,
i am using galaxy note 2 N7105
i tried to root it using Odin, but it’s stuck at recovery.img
i tried for more than 5 times but it’s still same, (end all the kies process in task manager)
what should i do to pass the recovery process
Hi Max,
I am a noob in Android and will be walking out on the limb and start rooting my Note and in a week or two my Note 2 with AT&T. My question is, how can I make a back up of my stock rom and all my apps and data on the internal sd without rooting – is this even possible? Been looking at your tutorials and it seems, to back up, you use clockworkmod recovery. Can you install cwm without rooting? Currently, I have ICS on my note and I understand that jelly bean for this phone will be sometime in December. If I root and install a customized rom, when the upgrade comes, will this pose problems for me.
Like your videos and very informative….thank you for your response.
I have the same question that someone already ask. Sometimes, people found that AT&T version of note 2 is cheaper but he wants to use it in T-mobile.
It would be a great help to see if there is a way to flash AT&T note 2 with a new ROM to support AWS (HSPA+) in T-mobile.
Thank You Very Much
Hi Max,
i have been following your guids for a while now and i have to say THANK YOU,
you really make life easy for us (keep spoling us).
i used your methed to root my Note 1, my HTC one x, and now my new galaxy note 2,
but i noticed that my galaxy note 2(7100) has a very short battery life when i compare it with my note 1.
i dont why but do you think rooting a phone will make it drain faster i checked the battery stats and it shows the the Android OS is always the highest in my phone.
can you please advise if i should return my phone and get an other one or is there a MOD to fix this issue
looking forward to hear from you
Regards
Ammar

Micro SDHC Cards only go up to 32GB. Are 64GB SDXC Cards supported by the Note 2?

Is the phone prone to such bugs?
I just put the Jedi X rom on my phone(Thanks, your videos helped me throught it all) but I had to turn off and reboot it twice to get it to start but it finally worked.

If I can’t have it on my phone I am thinking about taking this rom off!! Thank you for your time..

I just bough the GT-N7100. I have tried all methods but I can not bring up the download screen. As a mater of fact when I press volume down, home and power button then I see the menu in Chinese language. If I press volume up, home and power button then I see the android logo with red triangle coming out of the android belly. I have also installed all available USB drivers but my computer is not recognizing my phone. It also asked for MT65XX Android driver which I also did but still no resolution. I am desperate and really need help to upgrade to 4.1.2 to use the the all the options including multi window. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
I have the same phone N7100 clone and am experiencing the same problem.Won’t let me root.It’s a CHN type 1:1/logos clone from Alibaba.Was a good buy and am looking for answers also.Hopefully someone will lend us a hand.When I get it done I will be using AT&T,the phone only has 3G but that’s not a deal breaker to me.
By the way my my GT-N7100 is international edition.

If u root your phine will you get better service I have verizon dg note 2 and my service sucks were I live
Hello,
Followed the steps to root my Note 2 on a Mac. It completes fine and reboots. Shutdown. Do the volume up, home and power. I don’t have the option to install the zip file from Downloads. Any suggestions???
It happend to me too. I think I quickly used triangle away app. If you dont have it what I would suggest you do is wipe your phone to factory reset and wipe cache. Do those two things in the same menu(home, volume up, power button). I thing is should work. Please come back and let us know if it did.
Hi Rowlan,
I followed the suggestions you made. None of them worked. The only options I get when doing the Volume Up, Center Home, Power are:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I don’t know what steps to take from this point. Any other suggestions???
Go to the Google market and download application called Triangle Away and run it. If that doesn’t work than what you should do is:
-Install Odin on your Pc
-Download install all the Samsung drivers ect…
-Find and download original stock rom and install it on you phone through Odin.
-wipe Cache
-factory wipe reset
I had the same problem.You might not need all those steps to bring it back to normal.
Make sure to let me know if it worked. Good luck
I already dont mess around with custom roms.
There are always drawbacks of some sort.
I bought 7600mah extended battery that lasts 2 days on hardcore use. Installed back my stock rom. Overclocked it to 1.9ghz. That’s it… perfect powerful phone. If I get bored of the feel it has, maybe then I will install something like Nova luncher. Those custom roms always foreclose on something at the wrong moment…lol
Max,
Hope all is well with you. Have a question… Can you make a video on how to take roms from other versions on the galaxy note 2 and put them on the At&t version? I love the Omega Rom for the international version but I want it on the SGH_I317.
Thanks In Advance
hello there i asked a question awhile ago but no one answered it. well any way i was wondering if there was a way to put a US TMOBILE ROM on the galaxynote2 international version gt-n7100.. am reading that u can take n7100 roms and root them on a US version of the note. if anyone can help email me or respond here.. i live in the US CALI ACTUALLY but i received the phone over the holidays..
Hey Max, do you know how to get Google Wallet working for Sprint Galaxy Note 2?
Hey Max,
I’d like to know which SGNote2 You’d suggest to work best for metro p c s 4GLTE and gsm (no contract symcard)when traveling overseas.Based on my online research I’m assuming the SCH-i605 since its descibed as cdma gsm & 4gLTE. Please advise
BTW Awesome Work & Service You’re Doing, G.B.
Is there any way to use an AT&T Note 2 SGH-I317 with Verizon network? I’ve read on other sites that it is not possible but thought I’d try my luck here and hope for the best.
Great site and tutorial, but I cannot get my verizon i605 to unlock. I have gone through your tutorial several times and have had to set my phone back to stock and reroot each time because it locked up. Can you give any additional tips on making your unlock tutorial work please. Thanks again for the good work.
Hi Max, I rooted my sprint samsung galaxy note 2 using stock rom.my battery life has been great as I’ve been getting 16 to 20 hours with heavy use since then I have installed whompasaurus ROM and my battery life has been cut in half to about 5 hours with light use. I have also turned off light manager and other things that run in the background with no luck. Please help
Try another ROM for now, I am having some probs with Whomp too.
Thanks, love this rom. Also having problems with certain apps that force close, play store was one of them.
I rooted my Verizon Note2 N7105 and installed the latest Android Revolution HD ROM. It works great in every way- except for one major problem. The cellular voice and data do not work. My APN says “unknown baseband” and it wants me to insert a SIM. When I re-install the stock ROM- all works fine. What do I need to do to use the Android Revolution ROM? Thanks for any help you can give.
You can only install N7105 ROMs on the N7105, you can try AT&T ROMs also that might work.
Does anyone actually answer any of these?

First of all, thanks for the great effort you have put in to make all these tutorials. I just want to clarify that “International/T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 Root Tutorials (GT-N7100/SGH-T889/SGH-I317)” is also applicable for GT-N7105 right? At one point of tutorials, you have put up a note that it work for GT-N7100 only and it makes me confuse. Thanks in advance.
Yes works for n7105 too I will update the page soon.
I finally was able to root my note 2! I want to install the Novella ROM + Saber Kernel but am confused…Do I install the Kernel right after I install the ROM? Am I supposed to wipe partition like how you showed us when you installed ROM and gapps zip?

Hi again everyone, I want to thank all of you great and talented people who have helped me and made suggestions as to make my Note 2 a much better device. I have a problem and I need some help. I have the Note 2 on T-Mobile, and I rooted it,
How do swap my internal memory to become external memory and vice versa.? I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (USA version) I live in the New York City area.
I have about 1.36 GB left of device memory. When I download a game, or a large app, it automatically goes my device memory. Problem #1: Is there any way I can tell my Note 2, or set up my Note 2 so that whenever I download a game or an app, to go automatically instead to my micro external SD 64 GB card (I have the Sandisk Class 10 card). So I have two problems one is transfer some of my 8.97 GB presently on the card, and in the future make every app or game I get to automatically to San Disk Card. when I go “My Files” on my Note 2, it lists two storage areas: the Sdcard0 and extSdCard. Also, when I plug in my Note on my computer it only shows the following: Card: 36.9 GB free of 59.4 and phone 1.25 GB free of 10.8 GB. Can anyone please help, please thanks? Thanks.
Hey Max, Hope All is Well. Listen I have the US AT&T Galaxy Note 2 and I rooted, it has been fine for a minute but now it seems I lost ROOT. Would you happen to know what happened? If so is there a tutorial where you address this? Thank You in Advance. Keep up the Great DroidTastic Work! Later. -AL4E
To All,
Max, great work as always, you have helped me through operator error induced panic many of times.
I still cannot unlock the bootloader and have soft bricked my phone a few times. I finally got it back to stock but not using the downloaded firmware from Samsung or above mentioned.
This worked for me, so I am passing it on if anyone else has the same issues. I was locked at the Download screen and trying flashing the stock firmware. I always failed at “sboot.” Finally on my last go I flashed the “root66_VZW” file and it worked fine. I am not sure if I hitting on a dead issue or if it was just an implied task: but it worked.
I have followed the instructions step for step for unlocking the bootloader and still no dice. If anyone has guidance or direction I would appreciate it.
Again, great work Max and thank you!

Hi Max,

How do I install software for t-mobile and make it above Edge in t-mobile?
I already rooted it.

I have rooted my Sprint note II But now my sd card slot is NOT working. Should I unroot and re root with a different program.
One thing is that I found out is that, when I press down on the sd card slot the phone will see the card. But when I release it with the card still in the slot it doesn’t see the card.
Did I brick the sd card slot with the rooting
Oh and yes I have tried to format the card and also tried different sd’s
Can I still use the files max had on the site to root my att note 2 post exynos exploit and I have 4.1.2 from an ota update
I rooted my phone with this method and recently purchased the smart dock. When I connect to the dock, I get an “HDMI connected” message, then it switches to landscape mode and immediately goes back to portrait mode and shows “HDMI disconnected.” I’ve seen some other forums that suggest rooting your phone can break the HDMI output. Does anyone have experience with this issue?
Hey Max,
Have you seen the video implying that you can get T-Mobile 3g/4g speeds on Verizon Galaxy Note 2 with a T-Mobile sim card? The guy in the video referenced your video”How to turn your gn2 into a world sim phone”. Any truth to this since I and others have tried to no avail. Wanted to know why this won’t work in theory. Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated by all those who have gn2’s.
Hay max….is there a way u can email me at splif101.hc@gmail.com, I have a question about my galaxy note security flaw…well the thang is I found another one and dont know who to report it to or know how to go about bringing it to Samsungs aattention
hi. i just want to ask how to change the font style of my korea version of Galaxy Note 2. my phone doesn’t have a “FONT STYLE” menu on settings, only font size so i can’t change the font style of my phone.

Want both multi window and a proper document spell checker built in to a custom Rom.
.
Ever since getting my Note 2 GT-N7105 I have been trying to find a ROM with both multi window and a proper document spell checker built in, that underscores all the misspelt words in a sentence in red. These two items are most important to me, but the only way I can find to discover if a certain Rom has this is to install it and then having to uninstall when I find the Rom has only one of my two requirements, and to date after trying seven different Rom’s I still haven’t found one. Could anyone suggest a Rom that may have my two requirements?
PLEASE HELP
I was following your step by step guide to unlock bootloader, I already rooted my note 2. But for some reason odin failed the test. And now every time i turn on my phone it keeps on saying “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.”

HI!
I rooted my Note 2 gt-n7105 and wounder if there is a way to update it from 4.1.2 to 4.2(from what I’ve read is the latest one). I’ve been scanning the internet for answers but can’t find anything (that i understand). I am really new to the android platform so any help would be appreciated. i have seen things like ROM’s but every tutorial i find keeps assuming that you know a lot about androids and rooting.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, After watching your video “What Does Rooting Android Mean?” I’ve decided to get a ROM that is based on the 4.2 firmware. The only reason that i want to upgrade to 4.2 is that i’ve heard that you can make multiple user profiles (the only way to handle for example two instagram accounts without having to log-in and out every time). So my new question is. is there a ROM that is close to the original firmware in looks and functionality or do you know if there is any ROM’s that can handle multiple accounts in that way?
P.S. forgot to say that its jelly bean that i’m talking about here. Sorry!
Bro can i safely install any AT&T, T-Mobile, or GT-N7105 ROMs on my SHV-e250s…and at what stage the SJkernal is to be installed…before the main ROM installation or after the installation of ROM.

Hey I have a question. This is my very first time rooted a phone. Your video was SOOO easy thank you. But now I’m stuck on how to change the ROMs. Like I said I’m completely new at this. Can you send me a easy way to help with the ROM. I heard Jedi X was pretty cool. If you can point me in the right way of which ROM to use also. I have the US Cellular SCH-R950 Model if that helps
I don’t really support US Cellular atm but the steps to install ROMs are the same and recoveries are compatible, you just need to find some ROMs for that specific model.

Hey Max!
Thanks for your very good work. I have a question…
I have a N7105 (this is the Note 2 LTE version) and checking on UMTS bands it works on 850, 900 and 2100 MHz.
I’d like to know if there is a way to add or to activate UMTS band on 1900 MHz.
Apparently this is a hardware thing, but there are a couple of things that make me think it could be done.
One of them is because a lot of people say on the internet that it could be done installing a new modem, they say all these phones comes the same hardware and all samsung does is to lock some functions by software so they can make some Note 2 version work on some especific bands for some carriers.
The 2nd reason makes sense to the first one and it is, when I try to check the available bands by dialing *#197328640# -> UMTS -> Debug Screen -> Phone control -> Network control -> Band Selection, I can see this Automatic(*) meaning that the automatic option is chosen but if I get into WCDMA Band Preference I have an option which is WCDMA 1900 but if I click just that option nothing happens.
That tells me that option may be activated somehow, I think it could be locked by Samung I guess.
I’d like to know if by setting a new ROM or a new modem I’d be able to make my N7105 work UMTS on 1900 MHz band.
I don’t know if by setting a new ROM it comes with a new modem or if it has nothing to do with that. I’m not sure if I it can be done just by installing a new modem, anyway I don’t know how can I do it. There is this web page where I found a lot of modem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031575 but my carrier is not listed there so I’m not sure if I can set any other modem by previously checking out if that carrier works UMTS on 1900. Is that possible?
If it is, what is the correct way to modify the modem?
I think the modem I actually have right now is N7105XXDLL5
Android version: 4.1.2
kernel: 3.0.31 – 795352
Thanks a lot for all the support here.
It should be working out of the box I believe, do you mean enabling 4G LTE on 1900Mhz or HSPA+ on 1900Mhz?
I meant 1900 MHz on HSPA+
I thought the same thing, but only after I bought the phone I realized Samsung website says that this version (N7105) works 3G on 850, 900 and 2100 MHz, not 1900. That’s why I’m making this question… If it is possible to activate it.
By 3G I mean all 3G technology. 3G (UMTS or WCDMA), 3.5G (HSPA), or 3.75G (HSPA+) as some operators refer to them. All of them, however you want to call them, can be used by the N7105 only on 850, 900 and 2100 MHz. At least that is what samsung says: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/GT-N7105TADTGY-techspecs
I wonder if I can get UMTS (3G) works on 1900 MHz
Thank you Max.
Best regards!
Yes it does support 1900mhz.
How?
HSPA on 1900 MHz? How can I activate it? It is not available for me.
I just changed operator in my country where this new operator works 3G on 1900 MHz and the phone does not take it. The higher network it takes is EDGE.
As I said before, the web page I previously sent to you says that this phone does not work 3G on 1900, but if I follow this route on my phone by dialling this: *#197328640# -> UMTS -> Debug Screen -> Phone control -> Network control -> Band Selection I can see the 1900 MHz band but I can’t select it, as if it were deactivated, just as the samsung web page says that this phone does not have 1900 MHz on 3G.
That’s why I wonder if there’s I way to activate it.
Which version do you have? N7100 or N7105? Maybe you have it for some reason but I don’t.
I don’t know how could I make a video on this, not sure if you follow me or believe me, hehe.
Thanks anyway in advance.
Best regards!
Reinaldo.
Hey Max!
Just to let you know. There is a note 2 version which is N7105T. The difference with N7105 is:
N7105T: 3G (850/900/1900/2100) and 4G (1800/2600)
N7105: 3G (850/900/2100) and 4G (800/1800/2600)
I have N7105. That’s why I cannot get 3G with my carrier, because this carrier works 3G on 1900 MHz.
I wonder if by flashing a new modem or a new ROM from a carrier which works 3G on 1900 MHz (as ATT does) I could get 3G on 1900 MHz or this is absolutely impossible because of hardware limitations?
Do you know anything about this? Thanks in advance.
Reinaldo.

Hi, I bought a Note 2 i317 that was locked. When I get the unlocking code , it was based on *#06# and I got a code for it. 3 times from different companies and they were all the same code that didn’t work. Now when I punch in *#06# I see the imei # but there is a ” /2″ at the end after my imei#. So, I will see it: …imei#** /2
Help please & Thanks
thats normal u can ignore that last part.
Thanks a lot for the answer, but it is not taking the code and not getting unlocked at all. like I mentioned, I purchased the code 3 times from different companies and they all were the same exact code. I wish If u could tell me if there is a fix for that. The phone was rooted,a nd I unrooted it bring it back to it’s original factory shape, following your video, thanks for that 🙂

Hi Max,
Great job with all the work you’ve done for the community. I love your videos, they are nice, clear and easy to undestand. I am proud to say that watching your videos I was able to root my phone and install a custom rom with no problem. However, I got my phone back to its original state via factory reset and everything was fine until I pressed the software update button in settings. My phone is now not able to boot, it appears as a white screen with grey stripes across. The plus side is that recovery mode still works (volume down + home + power) however, i’ve used odin to try to flash it back following your tutorials and it does not work. The device is detected by my computer (not as an assesible drive but just detected) but odin refuses to go through stating “there is no PIT partition”. I searched XDA and found that my case is quite special and that there has been no solutions to it so far.
I’ve already sent my phone to samsung and they refuse to fix my phone, stating that my phone has been exposed to liquid when it has not. I am confident that the hardware works and that this is a software issue and would like to ask for your advice on how I should proceed. Thank you.

I just followed the supposedly easy instructions and expected CWM to boot up after rooting. Below is what I have posted on the “Android forums” for the Note 2 in the All things root section for International version GT- N7100(see if there is anything obviously wrong?)
Ive obviously done something wrong. I would give TWRP a try after looking at the other forums they say its better and simpler.
What are my next steps
HELP PLEASE!!
You’ve all probably heard it a thousand times before but here goes;
After years of reluctance and caution I decided to root my Android device.
I was quite pleased after looking at all the forums and videos at how easy it can be to root your GT-N7100.
I found this link and followed the instructions
How to root Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 (Jelly Bean)
I followed all the instructions. One difference being that when I connected my device the com box on ODIN3 was Blue not yellow but after looking at a few forums the new versions of ODIN display Blue in the Com box not yellow when your device is connected?
I went ahead anyway and after hitting start on ODIN the confirmation Box went green and said pass but my phone really did nothing. I was expecting it to boot in to CWM which the instructions stated could take between 5-8 mins to complete.
When my phone turned on it was still the same settings? I then checked that SuperSu was in my app drawer. I downloaded TTB to back up all my settings and also a Root checker(which confirmed I was rooted)
To get into CWM I pressed Vol+,Home key,Power button simultaneously but the screen displayed;
Android System Recovery .
reboot system now
apply update from SD card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
???????????
I pressed the power button and the phone turned on as normal?
With the instructions I follwed initially did I put Clockwork mod on my phone?
I then looked at another forum and found a clockwork mod link and used ODIN to put it on my device? should I have done that?
Now when I press Vol+,Home key,Power button simultaneously it wont go into Android recovery or CWM but instead the screen flickers and goes blank? I took the battery out and powered it up and alls fine.
But I want to put a custom Rom on!!!!
1. Should I be concerned?
2. What should I do now?

I am running Macksrom allstar 5.0 on my note 2 4.1.2 SPH-L900. I keep getting a system update. If I do the update will I lose root and will it just put my phone back to stock? I am ok with this if that is what it is going to do because I would like to start over on my phone. If it is just going to put it back to stock then I will just root it again and do all the backups. Thanks for the help
Exactly the same rom and problem constantly asking me to update. Which I don’t want to do. Is there a file I can delete or something I can do not to get the notification?

i have note 2 n7100 with android 4.3 bt still i dont get note 3 feaatures what should i do …please revert me asap…….
Just got a Note 2 sgh-i317 with CleanROM ACE 4.9.0 on it but I have done a few different checks to see if it is rooted but there is no proof of it on there right now. I have checked Terminal Emulator. Tried Root checker, and even tried downloading TWRP manager, which both told me I do not have proper root access. In Root Checker Pro, it did say that BusyBox was installed properly though, which shows it was previously rooted. I am thinking the person who had it before me rooted the device, flashed with CleanROM, and then unrooted it. I need help on figuring out what is going on. I am new to the root and custom rom thing. I am wanting to go back to stock rom so I can do the update it or reroot it to download more up to date rom. Can someone give me some advice on where to go from here? All help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

My galaxy note 2 reboots to the Samsung galaxy noteII screen. I rooted it and I messed it up. long story short I factory reset and it worked. Well today im getting just a blacked out screen with the Samsung galaxy niote II in white letters. any ideas on how to fix it.
Ricky,
I have the Sprint Note 2. What version of which recovery are you using? For example: CWM 6.0.4.5 or TWR 2.7.1.1? I had problems if I tried to install to late of a version of TWRP. And when I installed an older version, I couldn’t always get the ROMs to install properly.
I’ve found that for the SPH-L900 (Sprint Note 2), that CWM 6.0.5.0 (touch) has the best balance between stability and features. I’m no expert by any means, but have slowly gained some experience. Feel free to reach out to me and we can take it off-line if I can help more.
could I ask for help as well? I am have way thru the root but the TWRP isn’t loading with vol up/home/power. looks like (noob here) the regular android system recovery is there. I get the menu listing reboot sys now, apply update from ADB etc.
any help would be appreciated.

cwm6-root-note2.tar Root instructions for T-Mobile SGH T 889 4.3 makes no mention of how to remove the Knox Security Block.
Even after updating SU following your tip it would still would not load as it was being blocked by Knox.
Even Mobile Odin or TWRP recovery setup via ROM Manager did not work.
Max do you have a fix for this?
Thank You
Roy
hey! i have lost my imei no,of GT-N7100. Now my phone does not registers on network. please tell a way to revive my phone…help needed…
Hi max.
I updated ota to 4.3 on my t889. I have read and tried everything out there. No luck trying to get my wifi or bluetooth to work. It was fine before the update. I dont know what else to do. I have tried everything on xda. Nothing. Yes even the wifi patch. Still doesnt work. I have not tried the official 4.3 from sam mobile. I have tried the official via kies. So my question is is the kies official update the same as flashing via odin or will that fix it?
And is there a way to get rid of the 4.3 bootloader . like you can on the international version?
Thanks in advance.
OK I figure it out. The answer to my question and after a lot of reading is. The back cover. I had recently gotten a new one and as soon as I put the old one on. WiFi and Bluetooth works.
Howdy! This is my first visit to your blog!
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a

My brother suggested I might like this website. He was entirely right.
This post truly made my day. You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
Hi Max –
I have a rooted sprint galaxy note 2 on 4.4.2. I have installed the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0ltespr.tar onto my phone, but I cannot seem to get wifi tethering to work. Will you guide me to what I need to do to get this fixed. Thx
Hi, many thanks for your great site and very informative FAQ’s…I have succesfully unbricked my Galaxy S2 i9100 thanks to your site….However I would have thought that going back to stock rom (4.1.2 jellybean from gingerbread) I would have unlocked my phone from Orange (EE) as I had put a new sw and rom on to it?? Is there a way I can check the unlock code from the phone?? (when in recovery mode etc) or do I have to visit an EE shop and give my IMEI number in order to unlock the phone….I wish to go onto vodafone sim (PAYG)
Any info or suggestions would be very much appreciated,
many thanks,
i have korean e250l note 2,in that i cant be able to launch 4g network on it,i use lte option ,but it shows only hspa+ option,so help me in this regards.

hi max i rooted my galaxy note 2 using the video you uploaded.
it says “unfortunately supersu has stopped”
my phone is GT n7100 running android 4.4.2

plz help
thnx…
Hi buddy I have the same problem as azhar.
Followed the first video “How to Root Galaxy Note 2! [EASIEST METHOD]”
Then i get the same problem, unfortunately supersu stopped and the phone is not rooted according to titanium (= root access X failed)
Error message: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This app will not work! pls verify that your rom is rooted, and try again. This attempt was made using the “/system/xbin/su” command
I actually then, updated supersu as i thought that was the problem, and it reads “there is no su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem! if you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-boot – consult the relevant forum for your device!”
Pls help me! I downloaded all other videos, coz I wanted to flash the note4 rom on my note2!
Thanks!!
Kung Hei Fat Choy from Hong Kong!
Ok I saw in the FAQ this topic ” Q: I am having trouble with SuperSU on Android 4.2.2 or Android 4.4.2! ”
Ill try to follow this and then let you know!!
PS: Ive subscribed to your youtube channel!
🙂
Hmm I followed that super su for 4.4.2 and after installing it with CWM recovery, things got worse, the app is not longer shown on my phone?? ive tried a couple of times and its not there.
Hi,
I just rooted my GT N7100 and installed Dr.Ketan Custom ROMV11. It looks fine. I am bit excited as this is the first time I have attempted it and it went fine (initial hiccups were there…overcame it).
However I feel that the battery is getting drained too fast. Not sure what is causing this. Any suggestions will help.
Thanks,
RRJ
i updated my N7100 to liquidsmooth v3.2 n my camera is not working,it says can not connect to camera..!!
pls help me n if possible pls mail me on my id..!
Hi I just followed your instructions to root note2 using odin and supersu. Everything went as shown but after reboot a message read that supersu had stopped and when I checked the phone was not rooted. Please help.
I tried deleting supersu and tried rooting twice more and now supersu doesent show up at all.
I went down this route because cyanogenmod installer also failed. From what I have read this is probably because of samsung Knox, but of course it seems you need to root before you can properly erase Knox.
Please help, it seems something along the way may have stopped ota updates because when I try scanning for updates a message comes up saying that i have tampered with device unofficially, or something like that.
I understand your very busy so appreciate any help you can give.

Hi, I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100. Region: India
I had rooted successfully.
Updated SuperSU-v2.14.
Flashed Note2-CWM-6.0.4.3-GT-N7100.
Made a backup Rom using CWM.
Then I flashed AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4_RePack_a,
Perseus-alpha35-n7100-CWM and GT-N7100_XXDME4_Modem.
Everything was perfect till here.
Then i decided to flash photosphere and did it using TWRP.
After reboot I had issues with the network, somehow I was not able to connect.
I thought I had issue with the modem, so I tried flashing different modems.
Nothing seemed to work.
Then I wiped in TWRP and I reflashed AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4_RePack_a.
Still the same. Then I wiped again and flashed Note2-CWM-6.0.4.3-GT-N7100 and tried to restore my backed up rom. But now after booting successfully all my google apps started to force close and hanged.
Then I wiped again and this time flashed AllianceROM_N7100_DMA6_v1_2.
Everything else seemed okay except the network problem, I was unable to connect.
Then I tried to flash a stock rom using odin: GT-N7100_INU_1_20120921181332
During the middle of the update it hanged and showed fail error.
Now shows:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I tried recovering via Kies, but it doesn’t detect my device.
I also tried different versions of odin, tried uninstalling kies, updated my samsung drivers, tried various firmwares.
But every time I get the fail error in odin.
It shows:

It’s awesome to pay a visit this web site and reading the views of all mates about this post, while
I am also eager of getting knowledge.
Hello, in trying to unlock my AT&T Note 2 to use with T-Mobile, I managed to reflash OS down to 4.1.1 – and used the system menu to unlock device. Everything was working fine with T-Mobile. Wasn’t thinking, and updated software on the device OTA. Of course, that relocked the system. but now, when I reflash back to stock 4.1.1, I can’t get back to the recovery screen (Vol UP, Power, Home) screen to do factory reset. It just sits as the Samsung Note II screen.
What else can I try, please?

Hi Max,
I have a Korean version SHV-E250S which I am using in Eastern Europe.
For a long time I’ve been trying to flash another ROM due to performance issues – such as mobile network provider compatibility, LTE, SMS limit, etc.
As few others have commented I cannot find files for SJKernels anywhere.
Would you please help us out on this one? Cheers!
After installing marshmallow 6.0.1 my imei no changed and i dont have any efc backup. help me.plzz
I am in Canada using Bell mobility. I have a Note 2 SGH-I317M (16gb) which I have no room left on. Bought Note 2 SHV-E250S (32 gb) from Korea. I wanted to copy everything over but noticed some stuff on 32 gb Note 2 that I think is bloatware. Watched about rooting before I ran into High on Android videos and decided to do it. Used Kingo Root and installed Titanium backup. Rooting on 32gb completed and I believe is fine. I don’t know what to do next. I have noticed some things I need to fix which makes me think I need to convert the 32gb to GT-N7105. Things like: when I used the s-pen swipe to quick access the web using the “?” and write “you tube” – the results are Korean sites, the phone keypad display has Korean characters on it, the option for “driving mode” in settings, accessibility, text-to-speech – isn’t even there, apps like T-store, Samsung service, Book hub are all in Korean. I just wanted a Note2 like my 16gb one so I have more room and wanted to be able to copy my notes, text messages etc. onto it and clear the bloatware off of it. Is there a way to achieve this – do I convert the SHV-E250S to GT-N7105 or something and if so, how do I do it. All the videos that explain that are either Korean or fake according to comments. I’m lost … and I’ve tried really hard to learn this stuff. Did I maybe buy this 32gb for nothing or can you tell me how to clean up this 32gb and move my 16gb info over? Any help is much appreciated.
