[Stock ROM] [NJ2] 4.4.2 [TW]

[Chad The Pathfinder]

Simple, Stock, NJ2, TW

I built this from the stock firmware tar found on the SamMobile website. You can check out the XDA thread with a faster DL for the tar available HERE

I used ArchiKitchen to build this. It is rooted and zipaligned with busybox.

Instructions:
*Requirement*
You must be on NJ2 already to flash this and it work properly! If you are on ND8, it will flash but will have problems. I recommend flashing the tar linked above in oden first, then this will work fine.

*Requirement*
Also, if you are on any version of android earlier than ND8, please refer to this thread -HERE for instructions on how to prepare your device for ND8 or NJ2 before flashing.

1. Download ROM and copy to SD
2. Check md5sum against the one on AndroidFileHost to ensure a good download (md5sum Checker is free in the Play Store)
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik
5. Flash ROM
6. Reboot

Download:
Odex HERE

Deodex HERE

Special thanks goes to JustArchi for his kitchen as well as to all the people here at XDA.

Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk!
*It is important to note that there may be additional issues I don't know about and as I am a truck driver, not a programmer I may or may not be able to fix things.
Everyone is encouraged to do what ever you like with anything I post, but a little credit would be appreciated.

simple question: What's the difference between this and CNExus's Stock TW rom? NJ2?

CNexus' is ND8 this is NJ2. It was a security update so there's not much of a difference.

Thats cool, thanks for putting this out.

NOTE* I flashed the NJ2 tar before I got this built so I don't know if you need to flash the NJ2 tar first or not!

Looks like you do. I flashed over ND8 and got stuck on the Samsung screen but was able to restore.

Which did you try? Odex or Deodex?

Glad you got it figured out... I just finally flashed the NJ2 tar this morning.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience

Deodex

Deodex

I just did a fresh DL and flash. (DLed it directly to the phone using Wicked S5) It booted ok but took about 4 minutes.

Edit: Just did the same thing with the Odex version with the same results.

Guess you gotta have the NJ2 Bootloader, not surprising, seems to be a trend for Samsung.

Is there anyone who has not flashed the NJ2 tar who would be willing to see if you can get this to boot? That way we can have confirmation as to weather it matters or not.

Yea, but usually its good to get multiple experiences to verify something like this. Not just one. He may have had a bad DL or may have not waited long enough, etc.

Just tried the Odex version over ND8 and it booted fine. I'll try to redownload the deodex version again. maybe a possible bad dl like you said. Btw does your wifi work? I can't get the wifi to cut on?

Edit: Ok redownloaded the deodex file and it worked this time. Must have been a bad dl. Still can't get wifi to work, even with the deodex file. Not sure if it has anything to do with me being on ND8.

Yes everything works on my end.

System/lib files can give bootloops also try copying your HW and Modules from system/lib

and copy WiFi and Bluetooth from system/etc over to new firmware there's maybe more to do but its a start.

 

[Soooperstar]

I went ahead and took the plunge and took the tar. Everything works fine now.
