[Q] Returned Note II User--> Bootloader/Rom Questions - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys,
I'm back on the note II with AT&T.
I am currently on the MH3 build with Android 4.1.2 and was wondering if it is smart to take an OTA update for 4.3. I did a few searches regarding the boot loader (I heard its locked now? what?!?)
Additionally, I would like to root my phone and install a custom rom. I see that CleanRom is no longer supported and was wondering if anyone has stepped up to the plate to provide something of a similar caliber? (I want to install ad block and greenify)
The features I am looking for in a rom:
1. Stability <--- need it to be safe for work.
2. Removed AT&T apps/debloated
3. Battery Life
4. Speed
Some recommendations and advice would be greatly appreciate!

Recommendations, are mostly just personal opinions. And of course every one has one. It always comes down to what makes you happy.
You're going to have to find the one that trips your trigger. So I'll just make suggestions .......
First off no need to go to OTA.
Just flash this 4.3 bin and img file below to use 4.3 ROMs
Keep your knox free 4.1.2 bootloader. Allowing you to freely flash between 4.1.2 roms and the latest 4.3 stuff
Keeping Wifi Throughout and removing Knox
4.3 Param.bin and Tz.img (ODIN flash not custom recovery)

Totally stock, you can debloat on your own with Titianium Backup or Root Uninstaller Pro (just found this, I'm testing to see if it worth keeping as a suggestion)

What about flashing a 4.4 ROM?
I have also just returned to a Note 2 today! I am on the 4.1.2 and MH3 Build as well; It is brand new I just took it out of the box and I am ready to root/twrp/flash the crap out of it. Is there any way to flash any 4.4.x ROM? Should I take the 4.3 update (I could care less about voiding warranties)? Thanks in advance.

Use this as a stepping stone

That way you can still downgrade running the leaked MJ4 bootloader...
Hold off doing the 4.3 OTA until we see if it's mandatory to be on it whenever they get off their a$$es and push 4.4 out.

I was working off the link you provided and this one as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502464
So after some debating/ton-a-reading I decided to root/twrp/flash the 4.3 Param.bin and Tz with Odin and went with the crew providing the IOKP ROM (4.3.1). I love the ROM but the nerd/little kid in me wants to know what happens if I flash a 4.4.x ROM; I will update if I try it.
Am I right in assuming that any 4.4.x ROM's out there for our Note 2 right now is working off a 4.3.x bootloader and that 4.4 is a dream for the Note 2 that will never happen (officially)? On top of that there will be that whole KNOX garbage...
Anyway thanks for the response, I love the XDA community!

You are correct. 4.3 bootloader whether it's the leaked 4.3 MJ4 or the OTA 4.3 MK6. MK6 is the locked bootloader that you cannot overwrite.
4.4 is allegedly in the works.... Been plastered all over the tech news sites. Supposedly March or April.. We're on the a$$ end of March .... So what are the odds.
Woo Hoo !!!! The Beast !

There are many 4.4 roms for Note II. Kitkat works fine on 4.3 bootloader.

Not like bootloader. Bootloader is the sboot.bin file... If you try to ODIN that after the 4.3 update the flash will fail...
tz.img = ARM Trust Zone - http://www.arm.com/products/processo.../trustzone.php
param.bin = kernel load parameters, plus some JPEG's required in the boot stage.

It's been awhile since I have flashed it. I think after you choose carrier, modem should be an option. Hopefully there's a keep current modem option...

[Q] AT&T i747 android 4.3 [How to root?]

Ok what i want? Root my fresh updated i747 4.3. The problem is
1- I'm brazilian and i'm not really used with the english language, even more whn it's about technical language so my apologies if there is already a thread for this or if i'm stupidly ignorant to not know how to do this.
2.I have been reading everything i could since yesterday morning so i could upgrade afeter several hours my 4.04 android to 4.3 but i was expecting to think about root after i reach the 4.3. But i didn't know about the Knox and SELinux.
3. I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 but i don't know much about kernel and modem this part I simply do wath de developers says but wintill this point i coundn't understand afeter various re-readings if i need/should downgrade to 4.0.4 and start all over again researching about how to do all this flash thing with kernel, modem and room or i can try and update via recovery and do all the steps listed on the thread.
4This far i got mey phone all stocked.....stock rom, stock recovery stock kernel and modem.
5I have experienced rooting SII lite and Galaxy 5 but never had to face a more newwer device and so complicated or without tutorials to get rooted.
6. Sorry again for whatever.......
@edit i don't care about those security features and now i have just rooted with the Knox and SELinux. giving me an error about Super User.

Also just in case what version you have like for example I have a i747UCUEMJB and the UCUEMJB is the bootloader not to throw you off. Some roms even though they say 4.3/4.4 just make sure you know what your doing in terms of the bootloader just never down grade your loaders of you updated to 4.3 it can really mess the phone up.

Hey Dutch,
So just to make sure that I understand this response correctly, if I back up my current stock slot [Running B4 in Stock slot], flash this ROM over it, then restore the backup I just made, would I pretty much be all set with the JE update?

Flashing via safestrap only updates the framework to the latest build so I believe you'd still have the old kernel and modem. As far as I know, (correct me if I'm wrong @beanstown106), since our bootloader is locked we have to use Odin to flash modems & kernels.

Gah,...that's a bummer.
I'm looking at how to unroot and was worried I'd softbrick the phone or something if I flashed an older/incompatible firmware
I made a backup of my original stock TW installation, but when I hit the Update button in About Phone, my Settings app just force closes and stops responding.

[Q] cannot root galaxy s3 i747 4.3

Sir I updated my galaxy s3 i747 with leaked firmware 4.3 with no knox.
It has unrooted my phone.

I've never seen an official AT&T stock 4.3 ROM. I know AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update but don't think they released a full ROM.

Aren't those are re-packaged ROMs rather than being a complete 4.3 ROM similar to Rogers/Bell/Telus ROMs? To install, you have to Odin back to a stock rom or TW-based ROM.

am sure there is an official firmware from at&t and its hidden in this threads or somewhere on the net plus i was on a 4.1.2 stock, i dont like leaks just the official cleaned out so i did not have any problems with bootloaders/updating etc....... did not bother to use odin just flashed with CMW and everything worked

AT&T did not release an official Odin tar for 4.1.2 or 4.3 it would be great if they did but they haven't and don't have any plans to do so.
Even without the tar files I think our developers have done a great job.

Agreed. The devs worked directly from the OTA. They never had the official firmware, as they all will tell you. You're not going to find it here or anywhere on the net.

this two links provide 4.3 stock updates and developer @designgears pulled the official or the 4.3 update/firmware from AT&T, hope that can answer your question

I understand the devs had to re-create the ROM. My point was that these aren't stock, but they are certainly good to have around

AT&T released official for 4.1.2 , dont know what happned with 4.3 but blame Samsung cuz after 4.1.1 S3's update, updates went down from there ........4.1.2 update was great, 4.3 being a WTF and no 4.2.2 .........but am optimistic that 4.4 is coming for S3's and never will CM/AOKP/PARANOID roms forsake the S3 it will have 5+ versions

So since you allege AT&T released official firmware for 4.1.2(some other way than OTA) obviously my search skills aren't what they should be. Can you provide a link to backup your allegations?
Whether or not we get updates has little to do with Samsung and more to do with the service provider, and it is the service provider whom determines if we get an official copy released.
My thought is that AT&T is attempting to discourage us from customizing our devices. Some people have no business customizing anything and that can cause them to attempt to return their device under warranty. When the owner was the cause of the device failure that costs the provider money...

Btw I want to apologize to the OP here is a link to some roms that are pre rooted they're very close to stock with only minor differences mostly in its capabilities and some are debloated. These will get you rooted for sure, remove knox and should do what you want. I like the one from loserskater. This link below works only on the AT&T SGH-I747.

X-Note 9.0 for 900T

OK guys, There is no way I am the only one with a 900T itching to get my hands on KK and X-Note 9.0. I am very new to the whole rooting android devices but I am quickly learning the ropes. I have been reading many posts were where this is available to the 9005 versions. I also know that the 900T and 9005 are almost the same phone with 900T being locked (temporarily) to TMobile. I have been searching the threads for the past week looking for the answer if anyone with a 900T has been able to install the Official Poland Version 4.4.2 on their 900T. As some help I have been emailing someone else with a T-Mobile phone that helps to specialize in hard bricked devices. I am including the emails and I hope to get this thread moving forward. If it is not possible I would like to see if there is a way to work the system to get us the X-note 9.0 upgrade.

Side note: What I am going to attempt is to install the Poland version of kk to my phone. It is for the 9005 model (which the tmobile device is). Tmobile phones can run 9005 roms with a few updates, but I am not sure about the kk upgrade.

Have you already flashed stock 9005 Rom ? included bootloader of 9005 model ?

Please do not flash another bootloader phone's model. it will hardbrick or IMEI number will be gone.
Until we get an official Kernel for 4.4.2 for Tmobile we wont be able to install it. I even tried it last night since I've used previous X-note editions in the past. Hopefully in a couple more weeks we'll have a kernel.

A few questions since I have spent a lot of time digging here in the threads.
1. Did you install the Official Poland 4.4.2 KK update?
2. Did you install the latest compulsion Kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480353
I didn't. If I remember correctly Odin wouldn't let me install the bootloader

Not to question your methods as I have not attempted yet. Did you have the correct boxes checked including the install bootloader? Also did you have your device is usb debug mode? Or is it impossible to flash another regions bootloader?

None of the 9005 roms will run on the N900T without a official KK kernel made for our device, I have done all the research, and it has the same issues that I went thru with Vision.

Axeman, Thank you very much for commenting on this post. I have seen your information alot dieingmy research. I have been attempting to gain traction on this topic. I do have a few questions.
1: is it possible to flash the official Poland KitKat version?
2: if it is possible, what are the risks that we are looking at?
I can see the problem with not having a custom kernel. Here is a link to one that I found earlier today.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5027195
I also saw a thread today where the Canadian version is now able to upgrade to Kit Kat and flash x-note 9.0
Thank you again for your input.

There is a link in the q&a forum for xnote. This gives specific instructions for getting it to work on tmobile versions of the note 3. I tried on 4.3 and was successful and also on 4.4.2 successful as well. im aroma I just selected the uk version to flash. you probably already know this but I thought id post this for future reference for other members. this rom is real stable and has not gave me any issues whatsoever from version 11 to 13
I'm on V12 and I LOVE THIS ROM

The only thing I flashed through odin was the 4.4.2 bootloader for tmobile
Everything else was done through recovery
Tmobile version xnote 13
Civ version 2.1 kernel for tmobile note 3
And nfc wifi fix
I do recall reding along the threads somewhere that if you flash a non tmobile bootloader through odin you will end up with a fancy paper weight.

[Q] Need Help! Trying to return 4.3 modded back to stock.

Hello,
I am having many issues and bugs like copy and pasting not working, not being able to text pictures or post pictures to fb, with my Galaxy S3. It is running a custom "Stock mod" rom. I want to re-install everything back to completely STOCK and start fresh like the day i got it... however i cant seem to find a way to do this with 4.3. Can someone please guide me in the right direction to getting either an extremely stable samsung stock themed rom or just the official Samsung 4.3 or higher rom. I just want my phone to function normally again. So sick of bugs and glitches.
Below are the stats for my phone:
Custom bootloader: TWRP v2.6.3.1
Model: AT&T SGH-I747
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Kernel: 3.0.31-2024954
[email protected] #1
Thu Oct 31 01:05:53 KST 2013
Build Number: JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB
SE for Android status: Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SGH-1747_4.3_0010
Thanks in advance for anyhelp you guys can provide. Ive been beating my head against the wall trying to find a normal rom. Thanks!
Cheers!

I'm trying to figure out the same thing so I'm going to bump this thread and see if anyone has answers.
AT&T never released 4.3 as a complete ROM, only as an update from a previous ROM so I'm not sure if you can return completely to stock 4.3.

That is as close to an Odin restore you can get. It is a stock rom stock recovery no root it is exactly how it was released to our phones.

Will knox interfere if i want to re-root? Also what would be the best way to root once installing this and going back to stock 4.3?
