I tried chainfire's region lock away and it still does not work. It does not say anything regarding invalid sim. The only warning i could see is "not registered on mobile networks". Is there any way i could update the baseband or modem? Coz I read somewhere that when you update these changes.

In the s4 section there is a thread how to flash different 4.3 baseband you cant downgrade but you can try other 4.3 baseband. Its risky you might brick your phone. From mj9 try mk1

Hi I downloaded the latest 4.3 stock FW from Sammobile. Do I just flash it as PDA using Odin? The phone is rooted on 4.2. Thanks for your help! Not sure what to do since I haven't touch the note2 for quite a while now.

I suggest that you return to official status then update 4.3 via OTA. to minimize error. If you still want to root it then root the 4.3

Have you tried flashing different rom? My Galaxy S3 before was smart locked and after I flashed a leaked official UK firmware, my phone is already open line.

Yes I have. I have a rooted 4.3 (ML3) rom and since KNOX was tripped I can't downgrade back to the stock 4.1.2. when I try the *#197328640# all it says is Not Registered on Network. Is this a sim lock or something else?

As of now no working free sim unlock for 4.3. You can try paid services for sim unlocking

Why do you need mj5?
If you want custom rom without knox go fon DN3.

I use official 4.3 OTA rom with mk1 bootloader rooted and killed othe unecessary apks

Dn3 uses mk4 bootloader. All you need to do is flash it if your running 4.1.2

Add to other advices. The latest BOOTLOADERS are non-downgradable. It will brick your device but still you can recovery it. mK4 is a good bootloader btw in my opnion. Happy flashing.

So hows your note 2 right now? You can flash the latest bootloader together with the latest firmware from sammobile.com

As of now no flashable for the latest bootloader yet. So the only choice is to flash it with firmware.

P.s. that you cannot downgrade via odin any old odin patches. So they dont recommend this if youre still under warranty.

What is your knox status?
I have intalled dn3 last night. Just follow the instruction. From stock 4.3 OTA MK1 rom to DN3. No problems with DN3 every thing is in good working order. But it seem to use up more ram than STOCK 4.3 OTA. Maybe i revert back to stock 4.3 rom later

Yeah knox status will trigger once we flash mods zips such as custom recoveries etc. Its fine warranty not an issue though. Just be careful and everything will be fine.

The latest bootloader is just fine. No other flashing patches and will work on latests

I reverted back to stock 4.3 mk1 rom. Rooted, transparent weather and clock, modified wcdma/gsm setting, and killed unused running system apk. Ram is running 650mb

    Ganown!? HAHA! Eh anong trip mong device niyan sir? Ok naman si Note 2 so far ah? Lalo na pag rooted na. :))

    I'm seeing some common queries from our kababayans. So here's some facts that might help out future questions:

    * Regardless of what CSC you have, you can manually flash any Samsung Official ROM from sammobile.com using PC Odin. Nothing to worry about.
    * Rooting is entirely different from software unlocking. It won't unlock your phone just by rooting.
    * Don't worry too much about trying to reset your binary counter. As long as you don't step on your phone, it won't break. Besides, there is always Triangle Away.
    * Once you root, you can't do any OTA so stop trying.. Like for real. Even if you have an official stock rom.
    * Mobile Odin + Custom Recovery are the only things you'll ever need. You'll never have to connect your phone from your PC/Mac again.. Like ever.
    * USB debugging is a thing of the past. When you want to transfer files from and to your phone, Airdroid is what you want.
    * Avoid clearing your cached apps. Please... It will only make your battery drain faster. Android has a unique app + memory management that's built in.
    * Unusual battery drain when flashing a new ROM is but normal. Let the ROM settle for a few days before you start freaking out.
    * The only thing that will surely (101%) brick your phone is when you flash a different radio for a different model. When you do that, don't even bother rescuing your poor phone.

    Guys may alam ba kayong mabibilihan ng spen?? Nawala spen ko .. di ko naactivate yung keeper.. hai:(

    from GODFATHER GT-N7100
    DMB4 PHILIPPINES..

    1,000+ pesos for a new S-Pen on Samsung stores.

    If anyone likes to buy an extra battery, go to CD-R King. They have a 3100 mAh battery for only 420 pesos.

    Almost identical battery life from the original. Good deal :)

    Mga kabayan for me, everytime i have an update whether kies or ota, i do a factory reset. This is just me because long long time ako during the SII days i got crappy batt life after an update. Did an FR and that solved it. So that became my style ever since, again this is just me.

    Did update to 4.1.2 through Kies, did an FR, got no issues and good batt life. Did the recent update to MA6 through OTA, again silly me still did an FR, i get good battery life. For me i do not like to rely on the phone optimizing the apps. So i want an FR which gives me the new firmware like brand new lol, again this is just me.

    If i dont need to use data, (3G or H+) i always set my phone to GSM Only. If you need to use data, choose wcdma only. Auto mode drains battery and keeps selecting the best signal.

    If you have crappy network signal, left your phone idle, even with data off...expect some batt drain specially when your on auto mode.

    I agree with Prince, clearing RAM can cause additional drain, so just do it when you are about to retire to bed. Your phone should go into deep sleep when idle after clearing ram...example after the MA6 update, 10% left on the phone, went to sleep, woke up 6 hours later with still 10%, so deep sleep with the new update is good.

    If you leave your phone idle, data off, and your phone does not go into deep sleep then check if you have wake locks. Click on battery graph, AWAKE bar should match SCREEN bar, if it does not then you do have wake locks. If they match, then its your network signal

    i am no expert but this system works for me. just sharing mga kabayan.
