[Q] Update Android 4.4.2 on Samsung Note II (N7100) to Android 5 topic

Hi! After a review of many upgrade videos on various sites and forum, I had decided to upgrade Android 4.4.2 on my Note II (N7100) to Android 5. It may be noted that I have not flashed my root.
After the initial wipes and factory reset, the next step was to go to advanced setup and perform a Dalvik wipe. However, under the recovery menu I was unable to find this option. The forum also suggested to install the Cyanogenmod zip file. Though I had the same copied on the SD card it did not recognize while flashing. Tried installing the google apps and even that did not install.

Finally, the system did an automatic restart and the OS was restored to Android 4.4.2.

Can you suggest a way to upgrade my handset to Android
Regards

Possible solution for Galaxy Note 2 N7100 WiFi problem topic

Dear friends
I'm going to describe the steps i took for fixing the WiFi problem of my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
The problem started last january, when the device got the latest 4.4.2 update from Samsung. By that time, it was not rooted.
WiFi started to turn off by itself, WiFi slider was grey and wont turn on again, searching for ip adress, etc...
I did everything i could find over the internet and nothing fixed it, after 1 month of search i was about to give up.

1. Flash stock 4.3 ROM from Sammobile using Odin 3.09, in my case the ROM was this:http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...00ZTOEMK3_ZTO/
I tried this with the lates 4.4.2 ROM without success.

2. Do a data wipe/factory reset from the stock recovery utility.

3. Flash philz_touch_6.48.4-n7100 recovery utility using Odin 3.09. File here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_...n7100.zip.md5/

4. Root your device by installing SuperSU-v2.40 from philz recovery utility. Get it here: http://download.chainfire.eu/641/Sup...erSU-v2.40.zip

5. Install NI1 Bootloader using Odin 3.09 with the BL tab, get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54320353

6. Install NI1 patched modem from philz recovery utility, get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m950i4l27c...modem.zip?dl=0

7. I'm very happy with Android 4.3 and WiFi working again, if you wanna try to update to 4.4.2, do it at your own risk. :)

Good Luck
Special thanks to Androidwizzard

[Q] Lollipop N7100 Ressurection Remix 5.3.4 FEAR!?! topic

Hello all

I have a GTN7100 running Phantom v11 N7100XXUFNI1 Aug 29 2014 3.0.31 kernel
KitKat 4.4.2

After seeing how fluid Lollipop is on this device it seems almost natural to want nothing else - Considering with my current ROM i have a memory issue, After booting, I have 850mb free from 2GB.
Within an hour i have 250mb, And everything becomes horribly slow. Constantly having to clear ram, Eventually this does nothing and it sits at 1.68GB ram usage with 85mb free.
Basically a slideshow. Forcing me to hard reboot.

Now I have 3 issues

1. Im running TWRP 2.8.0.1 And im worried ill have a soft brick, As i had this issue installing my current rom and had to do a bunch of sniffing around for answers which was very frustrating

2. I have a 64gb SD card i heavily rely on, And several other CustomRoms have had issues with my Card - Originally i had to buy a new 64GB card as for some stupid reason my previous one was wrecked after installing KitKat - It simply couldnt be read, Tried a bunch of tricks on my PC with it and to no avail. And this isnt something i want to go through again!

3. I have around 10k Text messages i need to backup - And upon coming to KitKat i lost over 50k messages as it was easy to back them up -- But to this day completely impossible to restore [ Phone locks up 80% of the way through, I left it running for almost a solid 24hr] And i need 'All' my Txts and what not restored easily after upgrading -- which programs like SMS Backup and Restore just cant offer as it seems anything over 5k messages just becomes a BS waiting game that never ends, And if it does end - No Messaging apps will open, None will repopulate conversations, And im forced to wipe everything clean as i was with my current ROM.

Lastly I apologize for just how No0B i sound, I have done alot of digging here, Found some solutions. But then theres things that contradict those fixes and confuse me!

I am over the memory leaks of my current ROM and to be honest after seeing a friend with his Nexus 6 running lollipop im in LOVE with the OS. Its beautifully simple and so fluid!


Hoping someone here can give me some simple tips on how to easily backup txts - Restore them so that messaging apps actually repopulate properly. - Can tell me if my SD card will work properly, And finally will my memory woes be solved? Or will Lollipop have even more issues with memory leaks?

Any help you guys can give is hugely appreciated!

Many thanks!

N7100 Bootloop topic

Hey guys, I'm now trying to fix my problem for 2 days straight, but I think I'm just too noobie.
After using my phone regularly in the evening and putting it into standby afterwards, i woke up the next morning and saw my phone in a bootloop (just the pulsating Samsung logo).
My Note 2 was rooted. but I had the original firmware (4.3 I think).
All I can do now is booting into recovery (I had to reinstall CWM since it was gone) and boot into download modus.
Also, I get the error: E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
When I just let it sit for a few minutes, it sometimes plays the startup animation with sound, which is sometimes ending abruptly and after a few minutes more it just boots into recovery.
When I'm in CWM-Recovery, I can't use ADB (phone is not listed)
What I have tried:
Wipe data/factory reset
Install the stock-rom with Odin (one-part, I cant find a three-parted one)
Install a custom rom

I'm looking forward to see any helpful suggestions, also I have to apologize for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker :angel:
