Yes, so are they full wipe? Since some of the md5 roms are full wipe while others are not..

as far as i know flashing stock firmwares is at the user's discretion to do a wipe or not.. i'm not used to flashing stock roms., but when i do i only do a full wipe when there's a big gap in the changelist from the one that i am currently using..

EDIT: i have never heard of stock samsung firmwares that requires a full wipe and some do not..

so if there is really something like that please explain it to me or give me a link coz i'm not really aware if or that there's something like different md5 files that requires wipe and some doesn't..

Usually a wipe isn't really necessary except, say for example, jumping from ICS to JB or from stock to custom ROM. Be warned though that there are stock ROMs that DO the wipe for you so if you're caught unguarded then hell on earth is unleashed

This is just basing on my previous experience with flashing stock ROM/Firmwares from my older Samsung devices ( S1/S2/N1 ) some stock ROMs will perform a full wipe while others will not.

EDIT:

3rd time trying OTA and it still says firmware update failed after choosing install.. already rebooted my phone. All stock.

I installed a custom kernel and rooted my phone before but now its back to the stock kernel and I have removed the root, would this cause the issue why as to my update after hitting install when its done downloading?

Im certain I didnt install busybox but yeah, I guess i have to download the whole firmware and reflash... hopefully it wont wipe my data but I've already backed up my stuff..

It will not wipe your data, but it's always a good idea to backup yout data amd apps..

Samsung has, AFAIK, a binary counter so it would know if you've modified and flashed your system.. Try using triangle away and click on the "modified status workaround" to try and fool samsung that you haven't done anything to your system and that it's all stock.. This is not a sound proof solution for your problem though but worth a try, rather than downloading 1Gb of firmware files from the ever so slow hotfile..

Please elaborate more on this, are you asking if there are local apps? Maps? Gps apps? To try and answer your query, from my understanding

, try sygic SE asia, im using that as my primary GPS app..

Guys why didn't I receive the OTA ? I flashed my phone to the ph firmware , i think it was the ph or sun firmware.

About using launchers like golauncher. So when I choose go launcher over the touchwiz interface, does touchwiz still run in the background and consume battery ? Or it stays idle and just consumes the device space ?

I want to change icons for some applications without using other programs, can I root it and change the icons permanently ? What do you suggest ? If I can use a program , what do you recommend ?

hi guys and wanam,

I just want to ask. ive been trying to connect my phone to my adhoc setup from my laptop.. but the note 2 lte cannot even find the SSID.. I have read that this is a problem with android.. but really cannot find a possible fix.. or maybe im just missing something..

if you guys can point me, possibly a link where i can read the fix for this issue..

i would really appreciate it. thanks!

Adhoc works fine on my note 2. It depends on the wifi card your laptop has. If it's an old laptop about 5 years ago it might notbe suitable for ad hoc with new devices. That or you can download and try connectify program for you laptop

I think you need to go deep into theming for what you want. I believe there are several theme tutorials in xda. Try those for starters

flashing the PH firmware is not enough. You have to manually change your csc.

I advised one member from the Fb group who had a unit from another country, after flashing the ph rom he changed his csc. After that he was able to get the OTA for the latest update

wala po ba LTE ang n7100 dapat n7105 lang po ba?

Kies rely on CSC info for OTAs and other regional stuff. Your CSC should match that of their regional server to get OTA updates, otherwise that popular error message "Your phone cannot be updated" appears when one tries to do so.

Notes 2 not updating

I need help. My Notes 2 is not updating. It is still in 4.1.1 I tried using Kies or the unit update but it says that my firmware is updated. I am not sure it the unit I have is rooted but I can save in an external SD card. The unit came from my grandson but he also doesn't know what to do to update. I am new and not familiar with how to do the procedures being mentioned here but if anyone is patient enough to help out I will really appreciate it. Thank you.

Sorry for being somewhat off topic but if this news is true then rooting is illegal in the Philippines.
This is much worse than anti-cybercrime law.

I can't post links so....

I don't have the energy to search for the article but, may it be illegal or not, good luck enforcing that.. One of the perks of being in a 3rd world country.. Haha

I hope this is just misinterpretation of the law, else we're screwed.

Under this new law, once you modify a device (for instance “jailbreaking” an Apple product such as an iPhone or iPad) in order to remove restrictions on what and how apps and content can be stored and used — you can be held criminally liable for ”copyright infringement.” The amended version introduces for the first time in our criminal law the concept of “digital rights management” (DRM) – which also covers how we use digital devices on the Internet and which behaviors are considered criminal.

Penalties for “jailbreaking” and other forms of copyright infringement range from three years in jail and at least P150,000 for the first offense, and up to nine years in jail and P1.5 million pesos for the third and subsequent offenses.

If you're following ANC on Twitter someone already explained this. The blogger seems to be misinformed.
