Hello,

So I'm not really new to flashing roms and rooting, flashed both my Galaxy Ace and Galaxy Player lots of times already. I'm wondering whether should I buy the Galaxy Note 2 or not since it's on the Exynos chipset. Does it hinders development? Any problems or such? And yes, I used the search button before posting this and all the result doesn't really give me a straight answer.

There's no limitations add to what you can do with the note 2 as far as I can see, other than a lack of devs and roms as compared to other phones, but that's due to a lack of devs... The exynos chip set is a great family and the note 2 is pretty stellar in my opinion

You didn't, by chance, alter your efs folder on the phone at all did you?

Well I just used odin 3.07 to flash the phone also before i used a pit file downloaded from xda, but it was when the GT-N7105 was stuck on bootloop, after that did 5 reflashes using odin, then you advised to remove the battery and it worked

Aah, so rooting/flashing it won't be so different as other devices using other chipsets? Most of my search results all came up with how the 'closed' nature of the exynos chip will hinder development etc but it's good to see that it'll be no different

Cnmservad · Apr 20, 2013

I'm glad to hear it worked... You can use Root Explorer and navigate to the efs folder and open it to make sure, you may have to look up what should be in there... The efs folder holds all your phone's important info like imei#, serial#, carrier info, etc... There is no way, that I know of, to recover this folder if deleted, but if the folder is still there, you should be able to edit what's in there through text editor and full it back in, don't quote me on that cuz I've never messed with that folder and I won't lol

Oh no, I have flashed somewhere around 20 roms and kernels, injected build prop tweaks, overclocked and undervolted my note 2 so many times is not even funny lol... I've even bricked it 3 times, there's plenty of room for modding the note 2, there's just not a whole lot of developers willing to pay the price for the phone just to mod it lol... But devs are staying to pop out of the woodwork... I'm in the process of deving a custom rom myself, learning as I go lol... That's for the t-mobile t889 version though

Android only connects to Google.

I have a Samsung Duos in Brazil. My wireless was working fine at my home, til suddenly it would only connect to Google on wireless. Some websites would appear using data connection, but wireless, only Google searches. Clicking on a link would bring up a "could not locate remote server" page. I've reset the router and modem, even reset my phone to original settings, same problem. My phone shows that I'm connected to the Internet too. I've tried other hot spots and they work fine, so it doesn't seem to be a phone setting. I haven't changed any settings in the router or modem.

I have installed the App (Root Explorer) but the folder is empty, any suggestion?

Cnmservad · Apr 20, 2013

If efs is empty, no Carrier can recognize your phone... see ifyou can edit or copy/paste in that folder, then Google what is supposed to be in there for your carrier, I'll look too... who do you go through for service and what model is your phone?

Need help with Kali Linux to boot on Note 2

I asked this question in the Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section but not sure if this such a noobie question, so I figured I'd try here.

Basically I have Kali Linux working in my Note 2 via Linux Deploy, SSH and VNC. However, I would like boot able Kali natively as well. Below is the original thread and the instructions from kali.org.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40017296

http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/kali-linux-on-galaxy-note

In a nutshell, the SGN recovery.img needs to be modified so the Kali Linux os can boot from the recovery, sort of dual boot with Android.

Thanks in advance.

Cnmservad · Apr 21, 2013

Root explorer is the best, when you're in the folder where you can see the efs folder, look at the top of the screen, it should say mounted as ro... mount as rw, make sure it days mounted as rw... Did you open the factory efs folder? Anything in it?
