[Q] Please Help a Noob out - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I attempted to put a stock rom back on the phone and then re-root.
I found a link for the stock rom whick matched my Build number and using ODIN it successfully installed.
Main issue I had previous was that I could not load into the Android recovery screen which I now can do.
When the phone booted up I was very surprised to see a "Orange mobile" splash screen and also the addition of loads of Orange Apps? Which I've now disabled. Could be A French ROM?
How can I get a Stock rom without any Mobile operator Bloatware and get rid of that Splash screen?
I don't understand most of the details related to my model number but it appears they have changed slightly.
Here's the list;
Model no. GT-N7100
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version N7100BVDMF2
Kernel version 3.031-107214 [email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun1 12.22.20 KST 2013
Build number JZ054K.N7100XXDMF1
I have also downloaded the Samsung galaxy note2 toolkit but cannot find my model numbers as it's not shown within the ranges.
Build numbers available between DMA3 - DMC1. does that make a difference.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you want an unbranded stock Rom for your region, go to sammobile.com and grab the latest firmware for the n7100, region code united kingdom btu. The btu bit denotes its unbranded and for the UK.

Hello,
Orange is a french operator,here is a link for BTU(n7100XXDME6)[stock firmware]:http://hotfile.com/dl/229489883/6643261/BTU-N7100XXDME6-20130603102621.zip.html
Hope this help

Thanks
Thanks, I found it virtually straight away after creating my post last night.(as they say ,the informations out there, you just gotta know where to look!).I chose that one(French rom) on Sammobile as the build numbers where the same.! should of researched first
Thanks for the link.
I've just installed the stock ROM and all went well.
One issue or may not be is that when i go to About Device-Software update-check for updates and press nothin happens? Isn't it suppose to say Your device is already upto date?
Is there any links for a stable and most up to date version of Twrp recovery?
So Now i will try re-rooting again. I think I am going to try Twrp recovery after looking at a few forums.
Also I have seen people tap the Android version button(in About device) and the Jelly Bean wallpaper comes up but in my about device its all greyed out?
Anyway thanks again for the Help it was Greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Problems updating to 4.0 and changing CSC

I need help updating to android 4.0. I have been going trough pages and reading, but there is simply too much stuff that i cant understand. Here is the situation: I can't update to android 4.0 through kies. What i need to do?
Model number: GT.i9100
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100XXKG1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-i9100XXKG1-CL349526 [email protected] #2
Build number: Gingerbread.XXKG1
I have rooted my phone earlier, installed custom ROM, and then installed android 2.3.4 stock firmware. Information above tells everything about my SGS2. I can't find android 4.0 firmware download links, or instructions how to even do it. I have odin, and before i rooted my phone i took this information up what my phone used to be
baseband 19100xxki4
kernel i9100xwki8
To be hones, i don't know what those even mean. I only know that now they are different, and because my CSC is wrong i cant update with kies. I installed application called CSC select and it says my CSC is KOR. I also read that it needed to be NEE(nordic countries), to be able to update with kies. How ever CSC select application doesn't have a NEE available...
I am pretty clueless what i needed to do now, would really apperciate if someone could give me some advice. I dont need my android 4.0 to be rooted.
In the same boat

Hi, I am much in the same position as you. I am still trying to figure out my options, and will post back if I get anywhere. In the meantime, can you please post CSC etc details of your phone? You can get this by opening the dialer, and dialling
Code:
*#1234#
This is what I get; can you confirm if you have the same thing?
Code:
PDA : I9100XXKG1
PHONE : I9100XXKG1
CSC : I9100[B]O[/B]XAKG1
Build Info: Tue Jul 5 23:11:24 KST 2011
(Note that the bold letter in CSC is an uppercase letter "o", NOT numeral "0").
Do you have any idea if your phone is region-locked, region-free, unlocked, factory unlocked etc? Bought in India?
Cheers,

I have to same problem
I order my phone on ebay from china made in Korea

Unable to update software (either through Kies & OTA)

Hi, I have a Note2 (n7100) for almost a month now and I cannot update its software to the latest which is 4.1.2.
My phone keeps saying that I already have the latest one but I still have the 4.1.1... I also installed Kies on my PC also shows that I have the latest firmware.
My phone is not rooted. Could please help me? Do I need to change some settings on it.
Not only you but many others also having this, likely this is from samsung server issue not on your device. Or may be your country have not received update yet.
Simply download latest ROM and flash using it Odin, really odin is much safer and stable then Kies.
you can get more info from my signature, read N7100 All in One.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to know where can I download the official firmware that fit to my phone? Can I use firmware based in Regions Supported: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom. OR I need to download a different one.
below is the information of my phone
Baseband version: N7100XXALJ2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-310959 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMT
Build number : JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3
Hope to hear from you soon.
*** Using ODIN means just only update the firmware not rooting it? Because I do not want to root my phone. Just update it to the latest one.
Can you input here what you are getting by dialing *#1234#

Search 'samsung update' using Google, download any note 2 firmware you desire... (Don't worry I flashed France firmware although my phone is from Korea, it works perfectly)
Flash the firmware using ODIN...
1. DOWNLOAD Note 2 firmware (any)
2. Extract the zip file (Firmware that you downloaded)
3. Open ODIN, browse the md5 file in PDA...
4. Flash it
Done, easy... This WILL NOT ROOT your device... DON'T WORRY!
GOOD LUCK
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

Samsung Note2 unable to update
I have e same problem as minitokyo. I bought my note2 when 1st launched (1st batch), and software version is now 4.1.1. My phone is registered in Singapore with service provider Starhub. My phone runs on the generic platform instead of the service provider Starhub's platform . When i tried to update to 4.1.2 a few weeks ago, it says that i have "have the latest software installed". I just cant get it updated via phone (ota) or via computer (kies). I called Samsung , they cant explain too, other than offering to reset my phone to factory settings , which will erase all my data, so i do not want that. Until today, .i also cannot update. Where is the problem ?

[Q] s3 update confusion

I turned my phone on yestetday lunchtime (4/7/2013) and once it had booted I had an onscreen message sayong that an update had download and was ready to install. I chose the "later" option, went to settings>about device>software update, and it said the same thing. I installed it, thinking it might be JB 4.2.2, but once it had installed there was nothing different about my phone and it is still running 4.1.2. When ever I search for it I keep getting french and greek websites, the fact that I cant find an english site or explanation is rather unnerving.
I am running an un rooted S3, from U.K t-mobile.

I hope I have included all needed info. If anyone has an idea of what this is I would be extremelu grateful.
Many thanks.
Sounds like you simply got the latest official update for your phone/carrier. They are rolled out in waves, usually by location.
And just fyi, you are in the wrong forum. You have an international GS3. This is only for the US T999 variants. Aside from what I just told you, you probably won't be able to get much more info from here.
And definitely DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING you find here! Itll brick your phone! (Not yelling at you, just emphasizing the importance).
Sorry I don't know more for you, but good luck with it!

Hello, from the look of your baseband, it seems like you have the international model (I9300). I would suggest you asking about it in the Q&A over there instead, since they would be more familiar with the phone and services associated with your phone.

Apologies, i thought this was for the i9300 version, i will repost in the correct thread.
Thanks for the replies

[Q] Flash back to stock ROM

HI
I have a UK Vodaphone SG Note 2 that I rooted a while back but cant remember what root I used
I did mange to get a Download message to appear on the screen when all three buttons were pressed the other day and I think this is the ODIN? down-loader
My issues is finding the right ROM. I have found two on the internet
N7100XXDMC3
N7100XXDMB2
But my phone says that it has:
N7100BUDMD1
The two above seem to be from March this year and I can remember that before I rooted I did up grade from Android 4.11 - 4.12.
So how do I find the exact baseband version as there is no sign of a download for:N7100BUDMD1
Cheers in advance for any help

It shouldn't matter what firmware you download as long as it is for Vodafone UK. Provided you return to full stock, you'll be able to update to the latest firmware provided through Vodafone. Baseband name is different from firmware name afaik. If you can bring up more info on the firmware, they should also show baseband/modem version too.
Cheers

Note, there are no official 4.2.1 roms. Samsung confirmed it will skip it straight to 4.3 and there only is the leaked firmware as of yet
