[mimisg]

Used to get constant 4G signal at home before ota update, now getting G to 3G. Will test at work place cause also getting constant 4G signal there, disappointed

Edit:workplace which had constant 4G signal prior to upgrade, now only has G to 3G signal..sian

Edit2: Restarted phone, got the 4G signal back...hopefully it stays..will monitor

Hi,
Did you use triangle away before flashing back to stock?
Did you lose root? and have to re-root after OTA update?

Yes, in order to reset counter(self-experimenting haha), I use TA before going back to stock firmware.

I did not lose root after using TA (I believe you wont lose root).

After the OTA Update, it's up to you to decide whether you want to root it again (or not)...

Hope that helps...

Too troublesome for me. Guess I'll wait for the new firmware to appear at sammobile and flash that.

Anyone knows if part numbers differ from from telco to telco and retail.

Are the below local retail part numbers or can be telco set?

GT-N7105RWDSIN - White

GT-N7105TADSIN - Grey

What will be the implication and difference in rooting and rom updates, official or otherwise?

rooted my phone without checking that it cannot update OTA, downloaded triangle away and reset flash counter. However, tried going into settings, software update and check for updates, the pop up keeps checking but no results.

not sure if i've completely lost the ability to update OTA, and whether i'm currently on the latest. compared the *#1234# against my colleague's, it's different.

like to check if the following is the latest-
AP: N7105XXALIF
CP: N7105DXALIB
CSC: N7105OLBALIB

thanks!

would you consider to flash the stock baseband?

LIF? I thought Note 2 LTE Singapore firmwares so far only LIJ and LJ3? How you ended up with LIF?

Facing the similar issue. Think I'll have no choice but to flash stock firmware and restart. Been trying to find ways to get OTA without doing that but can't find any solutions.

Flashed stock. Still stuck at searching uodates. Zzz

Really? Hmm...

The this'll be my steps so far...

XSP -- > Root --> TriangleAway (TA) --> Back to Stock (M1 firmware) --> Factory Reset (so that Status goes back to Normal) --> Use CSC software to change to Singtel (this morning) and updated via OTA --> Root-ed + TA(again)

So guys,

Since my sim card is Singtel, should I flash to Stock (Singtel firmware via sammobile)? Is there a need to do so?

You sure you're on Stock? I am pretty sure for N7105 singapore sets currently, firmware's either LIJ (out of the box) or LJ3 (after OTA update). Yours is LIF???

Flashed stock. Now lij. Quite sure ytd was lif but no way to check now.

Will I lose my data if I factory reset?

You will lose data in the internal sd card but not the external sd card..

Just wondering if it is wise to flash back to stock and pull the OTA from the cache, to see what files changed (especially in modem/baseband), and from there maybe we can get a step closer to porting n7100 roms to n7105.

Anyone has experience doing these?
