ZU is love.
I almost got myself a Z. But now... this monster is really awesome!!

seems like many of the people here will migrate to the XZU thread soon.

Mind to share where do you get it?

Wow boss, how do you know I'm in Subang? 
Ok, will look for it at Pyramid tomorrow. Actually, I don't like go to pyramid's digital mall. I felt everything was overprice since many foreigners buying there.

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

4)Reboot your phone(no lockscreen now)
5)Now copy the backed up efs folder back to / (replace all)
6)Reboot and you will have you imei back.

yeah, thats what i've been reading throughout the day.. somewhere somehow must a backup of the EFS file

currently on omega v17 + perseus kernel (latest)...im satisfied but i wonder why i still cant get thru 8 hours of sot..

if it has not been shared..

Wow samsung just got trolled so badly by the Xperia Z ultra.

Its not looking good for note 3. Makes my note 2 looks crap.

Hope they make a good come back

After spending an hour wiping data, /cache, /dalvikcache, /sdcard and flashing Wanamlite v1.3 again, installing all the bloatwares together.

This time round, without restoring anything, spent another hour restoring all my installed apps. My FB, Twitter, Instagram notifications are back. Now I dare not to Greenify nor freeze anything just to retain my Push Notifications.

Despite the clean reset, some wakelocks still persist but as a whole the wakelock issue got worse. Most of them are from Google and Facebook which I don't have before I did the restore.

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.
[attachmentid=3505129]

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

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

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.

that is impossible

yet, don't you think the 6.4 inch is a bit over ? how to put into pocket
eventhough can put inside, but when you sit down or squat ....
