[n710x/T889][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch - NEW JB 4.2 migration support
- Thread starter Phil3759

I need help with the following:
Also, does stock CWM 6.0.4.5 compiled from sources work for you?
Could be you have a bad cm kernel not able to use exfat modules and with sensors
Sadly, Note 2 has no selinux enabled stock sources we can build. Without this, you cannot flash most new kit kat ROMs
So, unless a dev makes a good kernel with 4.3 sources and selinux, it will be hard to get something good for you
I could have to drop to fuse, which will give you very slow backup times on exfat cards, like stock CWM
For the delay, it is the sensors story... will see if I can find time to modify your kernel. I started to compile kernels for a few devices, but I am not a kernel dev and have no much time to start with it
Ask a kernel dev to provide good kernel sources maybe
Code:
adb shell
mkdir -p /storage/sdcard1
mount -t exfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/sdcard1
# post eventual error message
# if no error, try to install a zip from external sd to see if it was mounted that way
# if error, do this:
insmod -f -v /lib/modules/exfat_core.ko
insmod -f -v /lib/modules/exfat_fs.ko
# try again the mount command above and post all eventual errors you see
# after a manual mount command in adb shell, check if sdcard was mounted in guiAlso, does stock CWM 6.0.4.5 compiled from sources work for you?

Phil,
Not sure if you were responding to me but I am not a coder and wish I could help with the code you posted.
Yes the stock CWM 6.0.4.5 worked for me and was actually the only way anyone was able to install the PA 4.4 Kitkat without losing baseband.
Ok, I will compile a version without the exfat modules, that way, you have access to external storage, but will have slow exfat speeds
Sad as all other smdk kernel based boards did work very well with the samsung exfat modules compiled along cm kernel (p51xx, p31xx, n8xxx, n5100, i93xx, d2xx, t0ltexx...). Even some msm based boards did work very well
It is the only phone failing to use ko modules compiled from sources with cm kernel
Now, if some one can test the adb commands, there is still some hope. I am not going to release many debug versions to test things blindly if no one can try the above adb shell things
Just tried backup on n7100 4.3. No issues.
Full folder size.
...
The time to boot into recovery seems really slow compared to the old one.
...
Efs backup seems awkward and or impossible.
I'm guess you don't welcome twrp comparisons but in this respect they do it much better.
Edit. . Just to confirm I mean doings stand alone efs backup

I don't know how well it works but it certainly has the option to both backup and restore in twrp format.

Can't install rom using aroma with new version. Works fine with v5

Just tried 6.00.8
No problem so far mounting external exfat card, but i confirm the very slow load.
You have to understand that your device is abandoned by Samsung and many devs, I can do nothing about it as I do not even own it, never I did
I can fix your issues, using old sammy stock kernel, but:
- you won't be able to flash kitkat cm roms
Using cm kernel:
- you get the slow load
- you get no 64Gb fat32 support (format card to exfat for these sizes)
The slow load I can fix if I find the commits to disable sensors
fat32 for 64Gb, I will look at it again

If Samsung doesnt give us official kit kat, we are kernel-screwed then
We ll have to move to cm :crying:
Very frustrating for a device only 1 year n 3 months old.

no need to kitkat
just a 4.3 with selinux
But, I will try to fix sensors in kernel sources and add a drop down to system mount when vold fails to mount a storage
Hello,
So, i upgraded to the latest version for note 2 via odin. From this point i can't backup my rom to internal or external sdcard. Clicking backup just giving me the previous screen.
Saved the log but it isn't there when i'm checking the folders. ( the phone is working with emulated0 and the log is "saved" on sdcard )
Please advise...
*edit: I managed to flash previous ver and then a new one again. Now i'm getting those errors:
updating partition details
E: error opening ' /data/data/com.gtp.nextlauncher
E: error : Too many open files

Its not just stuck showing the title screen.. its like its keeps rebooting. The title screen comes out for a few seconds, then off for 2 secs, then the title screen comes out again... off for 2 secs... and so on and so forth...
If that means it slow loading, ok, i will try again. But it seems to me it just rebooting all over again.

My fault.
I missed the "bootloop"...
Saw only the "stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7102" title screen"
Try to reflash both versions.Zip,tar. Maybe a bad flash?
If not, then Phil have to handle it.
Oh? So it works now? I have to use latest twrp to install OmniROM... Philz's and older twrp didn't work.... Now I have excuse to revert to Philz's

I tried both the zip and tar... same thing happened.

Last Updated 2014-06-18139Recovery (.zip) packages instructions
They come in the form of .zip files that can be flashed in cwm recovery
- Download philz_touch_xxx.zip file
- Put the previously downloaded philz_touch_xxx.zip file on your sd card
- Boot into recovery (volume up+home+power)
- Select "Install zip" and browser to your downloaded zip file.
- Now select the philz_touch_xxx.zip fileyou copied in previous step

Odin packages instructions
They come in the form of .tar.md5 file
- boot into download mode
- start odin3 and configure it as in picture below
- connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
- press start to flash the tar.md5 package
- normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery) - when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
<< Root your phone and reset Yellow Triangle >>
- Once in recovery, flash the attached Root_SuperSU.x.xx.Only-signed.zip file to root your phone
- If you want root + busybox: flash Root_SuperSU.x.xx-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip file
- to remove yellow triangle, use TriangleAway
