after my phone had lost 4G.. I thought maybe a reset would fix it.. when I realized I had to change the APN, that worked.. but when I went to put Xposed back on, it kept failing saying it couldn't write to the SD Card.. so I went back and re-flashed the rom.. no luck. so then I was going to go back stock and restart..

but now every firmware I flash, it will get stuck in a bootloop... if anyone can help me.. please let me know what to do.. Thank you.

Glad to hear that you got is fixed! Nice work!
Thank you!

Now i'm just struggling with trying to be happy with the old Note II... Keep tossing around the idea of trying to get a newer phone for Christmas... but not sure I can decide on one... If the Note 2 was able to have a fingerprint scanner and go to Version 6.0 or 7.0 i'd be set! :good:

You are welcome! I am still happy with mine. It has been a great phone. I am running SafeStrap on 4.4.2 with a custom Rom. It still does everything that I need it to do. =]

I read about Safestrap.. how it work?

what ROM are ya using?
SafeStrap is basically a way to run a custom Rom on a device with a locked bootloader. It is pretty sweet and the hard work of these guys is very much appreciated. The Rom I am running is custom.

do you have a link to that ROM? are you able to use any ROM with safestrap or only certain ones?

Thanks.
Hey Buddy. No, it is not available on the internet. I built it myself to meet my specific needs. =] No, you can only use Rom's that use the stock kernel. It is really sweet though and has added new life to this device! Give it a shot if you want to get some more use out of your device!!

im gonna start reading up on safestrap and how to get it to work...

could you send me a PM with a link to where I could download your ROM?

do you know if there are any touchwiz 5.1 or 6.0 ROMs for our phone?

Thanks!
Maybe we could look for some. It is getting pretty rare for a developer to work on this Legacy device. Maybe we can find something though. I picked up a 4.1.2 i605 the other day. Let's see what we can find. =]

That would be AWESOME!! I would be a tester for you if you want!

i'll create a new thread so this one isn't as confusing of a title for it.. :)
