Hi.. new user here Bought it yesterday... Titanium Grey 16GB SME.. extremely happy with this set
major upgrade from my previous xperia x10

Been reading since V17, juz wana confirm few things sifus, if its ok:

1) planning on rooting using the method posted in 1st page.. Rooting does not increase counter right? Only flash custom rom/kernel..

2) noticed that users are having problem with sandisk memory cards.. can recommend me some good brands? price high a bit ok..

3) planned to get Spigen Oleophobic SP... As for the casing, im stuck.. UAG, Kraken AMS, Ballistic SG and Otterbox Defender, all four are attractive.. Any1 has experience with the other cases except UAG (read in previous thread)

Appreciate any help.. Thanks.

Thanks btw, firmware is the baseband version right? Mine is in N7100DXALJ1.. probably cuz still in 4.1.1.. If i update normally to 4.1.2, root and use triangle away is ok right sifu?

yep multi-window is working sifu..

baseband is N7100DXALJ1...and Build is JR003C.N7100XXALJ3..

sifu, i have rooted my note 2 as the following method.. XDA Newbie Guide..

1. Download all the files you need below! Galaxynote2root.zip
2. Make sure that USB debugging is on=> setting->developer options->enable usb debugging
3. Extract the download .zip file into a place you can access easily
4. Run ODIN...exe
5. Turn you device into recovery mode=> HOLD POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME
6.Connect your device to the PC
7. There should be a yellow box appear in odin, if not DO NOT PROCEED! Try restarting your phone into download mode again, and please ensure that you have usb debugging on and also have samsung usb driver installed in you computer.
8. Click on "PDA" and choose the file cwm6-root-note2.tar
9. Click start and wait for a few second.......DONE! You will now have a rooted device+CWM (What is CWM? Read first post) You're now not a NOOB!
10. Hit the "thanks" button!

However, when i want to boot to recover mode, it glitches and nothing appear... Should i redo it again using the files in Uncle benny's blog? If so, the counter will further increase by 1 right? So i can juz use triangle away to reduce from 2 to normal right?

Thanks.

Rooted again using Uncle Benny's method and it works now can boot into recovery as well

juz 1 question sifu.. after Triangle Away, they count will be 1.. is it correct?

Thanks..

thanks for the advice sifu might try custom rom now..

Sifus, planning on flashing custom rom today.. planning on trying few roms juz want to confirm if the following steps are correct..

1) Backup nandroid
2) Backup apps
3) Backup sms and others
4) Boot into recovery
5) do factory reset
6) wipe cache
7) wipe dalvik cache
8) install zip from sd..

am i right?

1) Does doing steps 5-7 delete my backup data from step 1-3?
2) once flashed, just use TA to reset again right sifus?
3) oh and.. if i want to update to new samsung updates; do i need to revert back to stock, update, then flash custom again? or can i just use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temp un-root, then update, and restore root?

Thanks.

Thanks sifu

1. i have backup using TBPro too sifu..
2. used CWM as my custom recovery.. did a nandroid backup.. copied both TBPro and CMW backup to pc as safety..
3&4. haha.. ok sifu

So i just proceed to flash custom rom right sifu?

Thanks.

planning on flashing to Emotion Note II rom first.. look nice and want to try some customization

As for kernel, most probably perseus as i notice a lot of sifus using it and getting good response.. unsure yet.. maybe stock kernel first..

is kernel flashed the same way too alex?

Thanks.

Thank you!

flashed Emotion Note II with perseus 33.4 Love it compared to stock Thanks for the perseus suggestion alex will try for a week before next rom

Had to flash it twice due to some error in TBPro restore.. Just wondering.. The freeze function in TBPro, can it be used to freeze unwanted apps?

Thanks

awesome if you dont mind sifu, can i know how this is done? what application?

Thanks.

Just migrated from Emotion Note II to Du@lnote V9 with latest persues kernel.. noticed improvement in the response and battery life planning on trying another rom in a week.. any suggestions sifu?

Thanks.

ok sifu will provide feedback.. planning on trying all the roms
