I dont know which part I have done wrong but I hope fellow sifus can help me to ROOT my phone.

So yesterday I screwed up the recovery image in my phone and I had the original firmware back up running well. Today, I attempt to try again (first phone giving me so many problems in rooting, previously attempted only once ).

The thing is, Odin always told me it's successfully and auto reboot my phone ( I even unchecked auto reboot and manually boot into recovery mode). It always replace my custom recovery to stock recovery. Has anybody encountered the same issue I did? I am currently on the latest firmware. Do you think it's possibly the latest firmware is harder to root?

can you explain in details all the steps that you have done ? what method did you ?

Ok sure.

Firstly, I installed all the necessary drivers. Got it detected in Odin via download mode. I tried 3 custom recovery so far:

i) recovery-cwm-6.0.1.9-N7100
ii) philz_touch_4.35-n7100.tar
iii) recovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-N7100

I also used three different version of Odin (3.04, 3.07 and lastly 1.85) I followed the instructions clearly stated in the website. Only Auto Boot and F.Reset Time are checked. I put the recovery image through PDA option and click start. It went well and said successfully, the bar turned to green and the phone auto restart. However, it didn't directly boot into recovery. Just went straight to Android and I checked through download mode, after I power it off for the first time after I flashed the recovery, the flash counter increased. System binary and status turned to "Custom". Sounds good. So I manually boot into recovery by volume up + home + power. Here, it will either flash and flicker the normal SGN N7100 boot screen and then turned off, OR.. It will boot to stock recovery where it stated Android Recovery 3e. I tried so many times with various methods and recoveries.

I even tried Galaxy N7100 toolkit. It's still the same. My current build number is XDMA6 (Malaysia) and I did enabled USB debugging via developer mode.

Awesome.
Bookmarked.

Using Du@lNote v7 now, the phone doesn't wake up that much and just lost 5% when I slept just now.
Not that impressive but at least a good start.
Nice ROM.

so you are already rooted right. You just failed to install custom recovery right ? If you are already rooted the best method for me to install TWRP recovery and chenglu's CWM is by using Mobile Odin Pro. I got zero problems using Mobile Odin Pro. This app is worth to buy.

Thanks.. I mostly use modem from XDA. I thought ROM will improve better than modem only. Silly me. BTW, is it related to hardware too? My friend use stock Note. His signal way better. Should I check his modem too? Because I tried all the XDA modem but only a bar or two better.

Update: Best modem so far, N7100XXDLJ2. Tested with OpenSignal.

Few things u gotta consider.
1 Modem version may not make a big difference.
2 When comparing with ur fren ensure both of u are comparing 2g to 2g or 3g to 3g also same telco la
3 also test your simcard with other phone to ensure it's not sim card problem.

A random question, is it possible to get 100% or 99% deep sleep time not in airplane mode, just standby mode? LOL...

To answer your question, YES it is possible if you're NOT using email client especially PUSH, facebook app, fancy widget or any related automatic sync application. Use Greenify *ROOT* user friendly interface to hibernate certain application

I have even 98% and worst was 96% even with 3g actively on

How do we do the 'writing text to the back of photo' thing?

This is what i found from google:

But when i tap the menu button, only 'Photo note - front' and 'Photo note - back' are available. I dislike using this as it creates another copy of the photo and saves in a different folder. Can you try yours?

Mine did not save as another photo. I chose "photo note-back"

Thanks! you are right, it only creates another image and folder under the 'front' option. Problem solved.

My current nothing to boast about homepage... Pure white theme.





Aiks, just noticed that screenshot has no sound again on Du@lNote.

But it's OK la, small matter to me...

No, im not rooted yet because when I try to install super user or busybox manually it cant be used.

You need ROOT to be able to have these apps working. Rooting will auto install superuser
