Did you restore by playstore download or TiBu restore? Playstore dowload will give you the latest versions which may have new issues...

Hi guys I have a ap galaxy note 2 and I want to upgrade to dmf2 firmware.
May I know what should I do before flashing it via odin? I heard it will make my phone radio unuseable. Is it true? Thanks in advance. Here's my phone radio details.

No, nothing... Installed apps and restored purchases 1 by 1 via PlayStore.

Only meddled with sTweaks, ringtone, widget positions and wallpaper.

Can loan it to me? Or sell it to me at discounted price..hehe 

If you do not intend to flash custom ROMs, you should not have any issues.
I mean, Playstore gives you the latest versions. Sometimes new bugs get introduced. I remember now you were saying all of a sudden you had wakelocks. Such is the nature of software.

So I can just flash the dmf2 ROM using the normal method via odin?
No need to backup efs or something?

I see, i'm usually on the latest version for every apps as long there's an prompt for me to update them.

Hi guys, new note 2 user here.. i just got my N2 last month and only dare to root and install custom rom yesterday. I chose paranoid AOSP coz i like vanila theme.

The thing i dun understand is why my kernel show unavailable? i used neak kernal. is it will harm my phone? i mean the unavailable status? and the EFS things, i already backup and then do i need to restore back to my phone after i flashed?

Btw will sun global battery 3600mah will do the wonder on this N2? or just stick to stock battery.

guys, i have a very rough day about a note 2 i bought today.. hope anyone can give me guidance or offer me a service to resurrect my note 2..

today about 8am me and a forumer meet at salak selatan to cod for a note 2.. im the buyer. we have a deal last night and cod in the morning. when cod i expect everything to be nice and i want a smooth deal because its early in the morning and everyone got other things to do so i check the phone appearance and firmware version only. everything seems nice till i get home to test the phone and put a simcard. i got no network so i decide to check for simcard by trying on other phones.. sim working. i put back on the phone still not network and such.. i do a few reboot and factory resets but still no go. i google for answers maybe it just some bug or setting is not right.. but i couldnt find anything till  i read about imei number.

so i check the imei number of this phone, its wierd and i search for that imei in the web it turns out to be something wrong with the EFS file? i did some reading and i found that this is due to flashing roms without backup the EFS partition. i check the phone thoroughly and i found superuser  app which mean the device is rooted right? i didnt notice this earlier. i try to update the phone but cant because the firmware status is modified. then i ask the seller bout this phone cant connect to network but he said yesterday he still use it fine. i tried to find some solution in the web, xda forum mostly but its very hard and need the backup of the EFS partition.

004999010640000 is the current imei and i look under the battery, the original imei is very different, everybody post in the web about the exact imei i got now. its a bad imei. so i decide to go for a refund, i kindly ask the seller for a refund coz i really need the money coz i urgently need to use a smartphone. but he didnt reply, i keep asking for refund i even lowered the price so i could just use the money to buy other phone but still he didnt want. i know its also my fault not checking the phone thoroughly upon purchasing because before this, every deal i made went smooth.

so guy, what can i really do about this phone? do anyone here know how to repair the imei to original one? does anyone here provide such service? i spent almost a day in front of my PC looking for this matter but still no go. hope someone kind enough willing to help me out. tq

Your EFS file is corrupted due to some flashing done by previous owner . Look thru his internal memory , do u see any files with .ez ending ? If not , go over to SME . I dont think directd got the equipment to restore your EFS . I know SME has it but since u r AP , u might be charged . For SME units , its FOC even if u r rooted as I screwed up mine b4 .

how much they charge for AP set? which samsung centre u go?

Not sure if they even want to fix a non SME set.

I dunno....... I went to PJ center

i try search at lowyat plaza.. sure got there right?

I know. But to think that the XZU squarely targetted Note 2 and Note 3 to top Samsung. Yes, Samsung had better do something good.

I'm intrigued by the screen technology that does not require an active digitizer. I wonder if it's a Sony inhouse technology.

Give it a try at the SC and tell us the experience.

The Sony Xperia Z Ultra :

Write and sketch with any pencil and selected stylus or pen (capacitive stylus or metal pen with tip diameter over 1mm)

===============

Practical problems ....... pens will leak ink and smear. Pencils will leave CONDUCTIVE carbon dust. There are VERY FEW capacitive styli between 1mm to 4mm. I have only seen 3 types of styli with these diameters and nearly bought a couple but held myself back. These cost from RM80 onwards. And you need to pocket it somewhere...

So, despite the fantastic specs, I think we can wait and see what the HTC One Max and Note 3 will bring to the table.
