Can I flash this Wi-Fi fix tar file on the Android 4.4.2 leak (NB4) for the Note 2 ?
I'm asking this because the title of this thread says it's for OS 4.3 .
I was earlier on stock 4.1.2.

Ditto Note3 v4
Android 4.4.2 Leak.

Yeah it should work but what I doubt is without kitkat bootloader there may be many issue like device can't charge while switch off also there may be random reboot. Also Samsung have badly mess up directory structure and very common to get boot loop and flashing failure, particularly when you don't have kitkat bootloader. Though its what I presume, I have not yet tested kitkat on note2.

For N7100
As all of you are knowing latest 4.3 built have new bootloader and samsung have implemented knox security.
Dear Doc, for some unknown reason, I cannot install custom recovery (Phils ver. 5.11.2 of ver 5.15.0 or TWRP 2.6.3.2) using Odin (ver 1.85, ver 3.7 or ver 3.85). I have tried ticking and unticking restart box. Odin update is always successful except for first one and my Knox warranty was set to void (01). Unfortunately, I cannot take screenshot (issue with phone).


This is my second note II to modify but for something is new with software:

Model: N7100
Android 4.3
Base XXUENA3
Build XXUENA1
Location: Bahrain

Is there something new that I'm not aware?

I also face this problem for a while.. then i found a solution... 1st flash ur phone with CF-AUTOROOT.. after rooting process over.... then flash ur recovery... now it will boot into philz touch .. then istall dr ketan multi tool... In Aroma installer.... dont select root device.(skip it because u already rooted with cf autoroot).... select Deknox.... and proceed ... now ur phone will be rooted.... (1st update super su with A Zip file using recovery.. then update it from playstore.. (direct playstore update didnt work for me )...

Yes u now have fully functional rooted device..

I think its better to flash a custom recovery once again in ur phone.
This procedure works for me... maybe we can add this in OP.... :good::good::good:

I used this tool to root my wife's note 2 4.3.
The Device got root and deknoxed.
I updated SuperSU.
BUT
Root works for some apps, but not for the other apps like titanium backup, gamehacker.
These apps say your device isn't rooted.
When I enter "su" command in Terminal Emulator, TE stops working!
Root Checker says Root exists.

Note II N7100 Android 4.3 Build NA1

What should I do for full root?
Thanks!..,

That is bound to happen due to the Knox and SE linux architecture.
If you see Samsung knox website they have mentioned it that for safety reasons even the system superuser doesn't have access to all the apps.
I guess thats y everyone is facing this problem.

If you want a rooted stock rom this problem will exist.
If u want to switch to a custom ROM then you can directly do it without having to root stock rom.

Yes.
Just flash philz recovery 5.15 (for n7100) via odin then take a nandroid backup.
Next wipe everything (literally everything expect format emmc) and flash the new Rom zip

If you are going to kitkat then philz 5.15 will give you bootloop or error 7.
For kitkat rom just make sure you have latest philz recovery.

And yeah when you wipe everything through philz the knox also gets wiped out ;)
(Not to mention knox bootloader still remains)

I read the DN3 thread. People are running kitkat on MJ5 Bootloader without any issues.

Let's clarify!

With Philz recovery I can install any ROM. (with 5.15 4.3 - with latest 4.4)

After NBackup
I should wipe everything, so Knox will be erased but as Knox bootloader is a different thing it remains.

If I flash a ROM, will Knox Bootloader give me problems later?
With K. Bootloader can I install any rom in Galaxy Note II Android Development?

By knox will be erased I mean the knox apps because you are cleaning your existing ROM.
And yes I don't think the Knox bootloader should cause any problems.
It worked for me with DN3 v3.2
So I suggest you try DN3 first as it is a stock based rom.

You can let me know your results on this.
And yes be prepared to lose your warranty as flashing philz will set the knox warranty void to 1.
