joshm 818 Report post Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Hey all , i have been trying to upload approximately 1.2GB of the latest software for USSC note 2 , from past 2 hours , uploads are failing at MEDIAFIRE. I wanted to provider full rooted deodexed debloated rom , with proper wifi fix uploaded to MEDIAFIRE will post links in the morning , that one folder will have all the required files , be it latest su , latest cwm , latest TWRP and stuff EDIT : How to Install latest 4.3 deodexed MK3 ROM on USSC Note II NO Radio update - as i found ME2 gives better speeds than MK3 How to debloat it How to fix broken WIFI How to Fix Root Please note taking the OTA is not gonna pose any problems to us but to US users its a huge thing as upon rooting the OTA due to KNOX they will lose their warranty the real culprit is the new bootloader , 4.3 also updates the bootloader the below mentioned process wont update the BOOTLODER at all hence its safer and will be ultimately useful to run other scripts , and stuff later on the links below after unraring will give you a folder called MK3 , which are 3 files + 1 Folder ( this again has 3 files inside ) MEDIAFIRE LINKS - all 200Mb split http://www.mediafire.com/?pk50et5zds7er PUTLOCKER and ZIPPYSHARE Links - all 200Mb split NOte2USSCMK3.part4.rarhttp://www11.zippyshare.com/v/44647789/file.htmlNOte2USSCMK3.part5.rarhttp://www22.zippyshare.com/v/62326560/file.htmlNOte2USSCMK3.part6.rarhttp://www17.zippyshare.com/v/96820684/file.htmlNOte2USSCMK3.part1.rarhttp://www42.zippyshare.com/v/56047955/file.htmlNOte2USSCMK3.part2.rarhttp://www51.zippyshare.com/v/20619655/file.htmlNOte2USSCMK3.part3.rarhttp://www1.zippyshare.com/v/75406770/file.html OR http://www.putlocker.com/file/053A0511142189B2http://www.putlocker.com/file/F54ADBE0C8087115http://www.putlocker.com/file/1EBEF63DDA54E8F9http://www.putlocker.com/file/CDBD696F4E99588Bhttp://www.putlocker.com/file/0361664899353A34http://www.putlocker.com/file/38C7B19591DA4F80 the folder has following content - 1 ...Latest 4.3 MK3 deodexed rooted rom - t0lteusc_signed_112713_222434.zip 2....Latest debloater script - MK3-MEG-DEBLOATER.zip 3....Devil kernel - Devil2-1.5.0-t0lte-DUAL-20131124_2.zip 4....A folder named - if you lose root then this folder conatins A...latest SU - UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip B...Latest CWM Touch recovery - recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-r950.zip C...Latest TWRP Recovery - openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-t0lteusc.zip INSTALLATION Of 4.3 MK3 Rom for USSC Note II SCH-R950: put the top 3 files ( rom , debloater script and devil kernel ) in phone memory 1.. reboot into recovery 2.. make a backup 3.. wipe cache , dalvik, do factory reset and wipe system 4.. flash ROM zip 5.. once completed , flash Debloater zip 6.. MOST important - BOOT the phone now People who have taken the OTA and want to uase debloated setup then they should just root their stock and boot in recovery and flash the debloater zip. or if they want decodexed debloated rom ( which is a big help if you want to add mods later then ) they should flash the rom and then debloater zip only . 7.. set your phone up , add your accounts and set up various settings and all 8.. reboot into recovery 9.. flash the Devil kernel now - the kernel needs to be changed as with the stock kernel wifi doesnt work , but with devil everything works like a charm 10.. reboot phone , download titanium backup and remove more apps - please mind that the Rom doesnt have Gmail so you ll need to download latest gmail from play store There are chances that you may lose root access after one of two reboots , so if that happens do the following to REGAIN ROOT ACCESS Put the three files that are found inside the *if you lose root then* folder inside your SD card or phone memory they are latest CWM , latest TWRP and latest SU 1... reboot into recovery ( i am considering you are on TWRP ) 2.. flash the CWM Touch recovery and in the reboot option hit Reboot recovery 3.. you will straightaway reboot into CWM Touch recovery now 4.. flash the SU file as zip 5... flash the TWRP recovery to get your TWRP back and thats it now you have done it all - if it bricks your phone then i am in no way responsible , you did it to urself Big shoutout to greatest guy in NA7Q at Team us cellular forums - i have merely accumulated his stuff and uploaded to different hosts for your guyz's convenience Edited November 30, 2013 by joshm 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshm 818 Report post Posted November 30, 2013 Wifi problem? What is that? I never faced it. As you took the full ota so you won't face it , but the problem is there if you do like me without updating the bootloader Not that big a issue but due to knox security Americans have to update without updating the bootloader as rooting the ota mk3 will break knox and will void warranty , I have seen there is a fix for that if run immediately after root.

mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted December 1, 2013 One of the greatest con in taking updates in my experience with multiple devices was poor battery life... May not be the case with everyone. But I am always skeptical when it comes to taking updates. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted December 1, 2013 Will try for 2 more days else will revert to 4.2. Such battery life is not acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshm 818 Report post Posted December 1, 2013 If you people are on direct ota then battery is problematic , if you flash the zip and then debloat then you will have great battery after a few power cycles . I will add a super debloater zip too which removes a lot of crap Sent from my SCH-R950 using Tapatalk 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sliver1 102 Report post Posted December 2, 2013 There are chances that you may lose root access after one of two reboots , so if that happens do the following to REGAIN ROOT ACCESS Put the three files that are found inside the *if you lose root then* folder inside your SD card or phone memory they are latest CWM , latest TWRP and latest SU 1... reboot into recovery ( i am considering you are on TWRP ) 2.. flash the CWM Touch recovery and in the reboot option hit Reboot recovery 3.. you will straightaway reboot into CWM Touch recovery now 4.. flash the SU file as zip 5... flash the TWRP recovery to get your TWRP back Hi doc...im on stock ota 4.3 and i just want to root my phone.

csmart 472 Report post Posted December 6, 2013 On Wednesday, I got some samsung services updated OTA. After that I've seen improvements in battery life. However need more time and also can't confirm if improvement is due to these updates. Other users, please confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted December 7, 2013 Samsung has incorporated two major changes in 4.3 ROM, they are KNOX and SELINUX security. We are not concerned much with KNOX as no warranty problems for us. SE Linux could be real headache as it do not let SU run properly. Download SELINUX mode changer from market to change policy.

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted December 7, 2013 ^^^^ First not giving exynos source code, then encrypted BL in phones of some carriers, next the custom Recovery remover on (re)startup, later location based lock, and now the SELinux headache...

kshah 452 Report post Posted December 7, 2013 Yes, I forgot that point. With MK3, I could not find ways to connect it to DIAG so far. Even in hiddenmenu.apk, I could not find the ways to get it in to diag. I have not tried flashing 4.2 with higher version of SECUREDBOOT though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
