guys quick question

my bro in law's note 2 died cos water damaged,

he sent it to 3rd party repair, replaced whole board,

now phone returned, but it seems like T-mobile version's note 2

because it has the t-mobile boot screen together with usual samsung logo, also check for update, no 4.3 update yet

so.. is it possible to flash malaysia stock 4.1.2 firmware on this t-mobile note 2? compatible or not?

is it same hardware as other all international note 2?

yes it is

and further check, it seems current firmware is for india, funny thing the bootloader is t-mobile samsung lol



so any firmware works, but need flash thru kie/odin manually?


where can i find malaysia stock 4.1.2 firmware? or should i directly flash malaysia stock 4.3?

another question

I saw news some ppl flash stock rom 4.3 thru kie/odin will also trigger knox 0x1

is it true? the note 2 no mod at all before flash

if really true, then where can i get 4.1.2 stock then update 4.3 thru OTA ?

i thought it will cause something like knox popup message that keep bothering you even though u already no warranty

if it doesnt then should be fine


fuuyo

anywhere can download malaysia stock rom?

sam mobile terra download so slow

that saferoot did not work for me, got the address error and refuse to root,

the creator of the exploit has stated kernel has been patched , this tool will no longer works

but still work for some of us,

and not working on my note 2

guys

most of you should have known Galaxy S3 and some Note 2 users reported these phone kill microsd cards

mostly sandisk microsd were killed, and some other brand
even though sandisk admitted that they got batch of cards have manufacturing problem

ok now.... my sis had a Kingston microsd on her s3,it's almost a year, her phone start having difficulties to read photos and other media files, or not showing on gallery at all, or unreadable sometime

it still readable on pc with card reader, so i backup her data and format it, well few photos were corrupted

after format and copy the data back, it's working fine again, but then weeks later, same problem back, this time more files were corrupted compared to the last backup data, then i google for info, just know about s3 note2 would kill microsd, mostly sandisk

my sis card is Kingston brand, so i give it another shot, this time i put it on my note 2 to use (my note 2 doesn't have micro sd yet) and it works just fine, few days later it started un-mounting and mounting itself and finally sudden died itself few hours ago.

totally not detectable on note 2, my optimus 2x, and even on pc with card reader, now the card is officially dead

just wondering if anyone of you note 2 users, also s3 user have microsd killing problem?

and what microsd you guys use?
I'm getting my own microsd card for note 2 soon, but really no dare to get sandisk, Kingston

I've read many articles on internet that if microsd card dies on these phones, usually the card itself not really well made, it might not die on other phone and devices, but will still die on some devices like s3 and note 2. the problem is the card

so what do u guys think..

what card should I get for my note 2?

just an extra note, my bro in law's black note 2 use his sandisk microsd bought from Taiwan just fine, so far no problem

Hope so

I usually trust sandisk

Still gonna get it

If really unlucky get the one from the problem batch

Then im really unlucky

Alright guys, just some quick questions

How if knox flag tripped?

What I know is warranty void, not reversible, no knox features, but what im not sure is...

Some ppl say you will be locked from installing newer knox enabled roms for example upcoming 4.4 stock rom

U cannot get update from OTA cannot flash newer stock roms with odin

Is that true? But got some ppl in xda said you will still able to flash any newer knox enabled firmware no matter what, just your warranty and flag still remain void and no knox features only

And is there any other cons for knox flag tripped that I dont know?

Lol I hadnt said anything about root yet
Well your info makes things clear for me now

As for the part locked from update to newer version, what they actually mean is the bootloader itself and firmwares but not roms?

So lets say I wanted to root my current note 2 4.3 stock
I rooted it, tripped the flag, no longer able to use knox features (dont care actually)
So im on rooted stock 4.3 now

So if 4.4 stock is released, how do I update since odin no longer usable ?

Anything else that may give me troubles with this knox bootloader I got from stock 4.3 update?

And will I have any problem if I want to move to any custom roms? With this knox bootloader

1stly , are you still under warranty ?

no longer under warranty, still remain stock 4.3 and knox not tripped

wanted to have phone root but keep the stock 4.3 rom, will update to 4.4 when it comes and look for root method for 4.4 later

Which part of my statement makes u think I assume u r rooted ?
i was asking what happened to me if i tripped knox, you got talk about root, well extra info always better


As for the part locked from update to newer version, what they actually mean is the bootloader itself and firmwares but not roms?

ROM is the firmware , same as some users referred to the " phone " as the " device "

a quote from http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/

Some facts about KNOX status:
It isn’t possible to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmwares/bootloaders (An attempt sets 0×1) (even though some people state, downgrade is possible when omitting the bootloader file in a firmware package). By downgrading from KNOX-enabled to KNOX-disabled firmware, your devices will be locked to installation of newer firmwares.


is that mean it only happens if i try to downgrade my knox bootloader to previous non-knox bootloader?

I never say Odin is not usable after rooting , only OTA and KIES update


not quite catch your meaning for the last line



users tripped their knox to install custom recovery to go to custom rom , so what do u think ?
for example, I've seen number of users on xda who have minor problems with their custom rom + custom kernel based on stock kernel will have frequently FC problems, it's something related to knox bootloader

actually not a big problem, just wanted to ask

used to mod my LG O2x, now using note 2, because knox thingy need to be more careful

really thank you for help and info, I'll do more research again

if can, i just want to keep stock 4.3 , all i want just root my note 2

thank you all for the info

will look into and see what I want to do next

will stick to stock rom and rooted first

maybe will go custom rom someday in future when needed

thread isn't updated?

downloading OTA but slow..... stuck at 180kBps

my bro in law has a note 2, was updated with odin to 4.3 Official (Malaysia)

CSC info totally same as my Note 2 , why he got no update on OTA

it says latest already installed

mine was able to update from OTA to 4.4.2

something wrong?
