N7105 Root and custom rom flashing tutorial (R&D stage)

[jarylw]

N7105OLBALJ1

Updated...and rerooted. But not sure if reroot takes away the update...dun even know what update is there ?

How come your CSC got number 1 behind one? Are you sure that's not the AP?

Can provide the AP, CP and CSC? So we can compare?

Mine is as follows:

AP: N7105XXALIJ
CP: N7105DXALIB
CSC: N7105OLBALIB

No updates OTA or in KIES.

What's strange is we have the exact same AP, CP, CSC and I & some didn't get the updates.

Nandroid backup.

My set is from 3rd party shops. What's the difference? Wonder what does KIES/OTA updates use to identify? IMEI?

ok, thanks i try.
did you try flashing the stock firmware for your telco?
also cannot?

i just got the ota after reverting to stock.
now rooting and trying the multiwindow mod again lol

 

[gibson7]

finally...
moved back to LIJ firmware which came with my Starhub set.

got the ota and proceeded to root and add cwm.

then went to use paulobrien's multiwindow mod tool to add the function of 3rd party apps to the multiwindow scrollbar.

Please note his tool is meant for 7100 LJ1 and LJ3 firmware.

I took a chance since I just got the ota which was LJ3 (but based on 7105). So I setup a list of my sample apps and used paul's tool to generate for LJ3 and use the file to flash.

and finally I got the function.

I believe so.. i used to root n change ROMs of my previous, HTC phone.. all datas will need to be wiped before flashing any fw's or ROMs. for my contacts, they r linked n saved in my Google gmail account.

but now I've yet to flash the stock fw as I'm unable to d/l the file, "hotfile" linked from sammobile. nothing appear after I clicked on the d/l. need the seniors here to guide me too.

its not working with Note II. i've tried flashing to SIN firmware with the one in sammobile and it works, but thats why the LTE/HSDPA issue, only able to be in G or 3G signal.

You flashed the SIN stock firmware in sammobile and you get the OTA updates? I did the same and didn't get them haha. Whats your operator? SH?
