Samsung Galaxy Note 2

I have basic root, no bootloader.  Update fails, I suppose I'll have to flash back to full stock then update, unless someone knows a workaround. :(  (I know that I'll likely lose root for now)

Just wait for a stock rooted or when digi gets his hands on a de-odex rooted base, he'll make it sweet!!!

Been keeping an eye on things and it looks like they are close on things. No spare Note2 to play with here :(

I'll lend you my spare Viper to use while you work!

 

The game needs you mang.

What's the deal with Knox built into 4.3? No Root? Voids warranty flag? Causes scurvy?

 

I just reverted back to stock and installed that .zip file from XDA to get to 4.3.  I don't see the Knox app at all in my app drawer. 

 

Edit: Nevermind... I'm getting these annoying security pop-ups whenever I try to install SuperSU and if my apps try to access root.  Looked it up and it has to do with Knox. :td:

I had thought it had its own app icon? Anyway, doesn't matter now... got my phone rooted, removed Knox, and those annoying security popups.

 

What are the steps you used for that? XDA thread you can point me to?

 

Also, does anyone know if the PRL write patch works on the new update?

Basically everything on this post is what I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47768329&postcount=67

 

The post has you visit SXTP-Developers to reflash your phone back to MC2 stock... I used "SPH-L900_MC2_Stock_Nodata.exe" to revert my phone back to stock (recovery, ROM, etc) and it also keeps my data.  Reboot phone so you can verify if it's stable.

 

Then I placed the file "USER_L900_SPT_MC2_to_MK4_Update_FWD.zip" from the first post of the thread to the root of my external SD card.  I then rebooted into recovery and finally flashed the update from external SD.   Phone should reboot and check apps, then it'll be done.

 

Now for me, I still have all my apps and settings and I never had to wipe all my data and start from scratch, so I feel I lucked out.  Just make sure you have some sort of backup or nandroid before doing any of this so you can revert back in case of bad things.

 

Good luck.

Does the Signal Check shortcut to the Samsung hidden menu to get to where you can see the LTE PCID still work?

Nope, not working for me. The menu never even pops open. Might need to poke at Mike for a fix.

I actually told Mike about it. Make sure you tell him so he knows who is affected.

 

Here is my post in the tread.

Probably wasn't supposed to do this, but I flashed digi's Unhide PRL (MA7) and it works. I was able to access the PRL write function and write one of the custom PRL's in the Premiere Sponsors forum. The reason I say I shouldn't have done this is now I feel like there are less options in the Debug menu and Data menu.

 

Edit: Hmm, seems to have "FIXED" the IOTHiddenMenu shortcut within' SignalCheck.

That's good to know.. I know in the latest S3 4.1 update they removed the prl write option totally and didn't just hide it. Glad to see I can put the old one back and the baseband still supports the write.

I was hoping to revert back to the newer HiddenMenu.apk since my custom PRL is already installed on the phone.  I have the 4.3 update ZIP and found HiddenMenu.apk.p within it, but I don't know how to extract it.  Not sure if any of my recent TitaniumBackups would have them stored away?

    • Another SCP beta is rolling out now, with some bugfixes as usual but also some fun new options to test: Non-standalone 5G-NR cells can now display Site Notes. This feature works in the same manner as how neighbor cell notes are displayed, requiring a PCI and your device's location. This option is enabled by default. As is the case with neighbor cell notes, you cannot edit NSA site notes directly unless there is an NCI being reported (which I have never seen); it uses the previously recorded standalone log entries. Like neighbor notes, if a cell has been previously logged but there is no note, you will see the distance information only.   Logging cells that are not reporting a valid PLMN is now possible. This option is disabled by default, but if you enable it along with two other options (log sites with missing GCI/NCI and to log sites with missing TAC), you should begin logging most NSA 5G-NR cells. A PCI is needed at a minimum, which is not always reported depending on your device and network factors. ("Sites" will be renamed to "cells" on the Preferences menu in the next update.)   Users can enable an option to display LTE cells above 5G-NR cells in the app if they choose to do so. This option is disabled by default. Should help improve the readability of your screen if you have NSA 5G-NR cells constantly appearing/disappearing. Please give these options a try and let me know if you notice any issues.. thanks!
    • Not yet. We probably won't see one submitted until construction on the new building is substantially complete. 
    • Yes, that is where the site used to be. All the antennas were removed. I hope they add a new site soon. Have any permits been submitted for a new site?
    • Looks like there's a slightly taller building going up next door to where the decommissioned site used to be. Taking a look at StreetView, T-Mobile likely decommissioned the site because the east facing sector would blocked by the new building. If I had to guess, T-Mobile has already agreed to move to the roof of the new building and is just waiting for it to be completed to install the site there. What they should've done is just rearrange the sectors in the meantime but it seems like T-Mobile just bit the bullet and decommed the tower in the short term. — — — — — A permit was issued for a Sprint conversion at 150 Prospect Park West, finally filling in what is T-Mobile's largest coverage gap in Park Slope. Verizon is collocated on that building and AT&T has placed small cells along Prospect Park West to fill in coverage there while T-Mobile struggled using two sites, one at Grand Army Plaza at the far north and another at Bartel Pritchard Square to the far south.
