Downgraded what? from what?
In all honesty, the evo 3d on stock is an awful phone, god bless the dev's as i'd be pissed if they didn't do what they do.
Root and s-off your phone get a custom recovery and flash a custom rom, make sure to back up and choose the rom which most resembles her's, Leedroid does a good stock rom with enhancements.
Theres guides on how to do this in the dev section.
She was on hboot 1.5 and down graded to 1.4 she has ruu 1.13 I think installed when she used to have 2.17 I was looking at meanrom but it says I have to update to the 2.17 firmware

Go to this thread and download the zip. Rename it PG86IMG.zip and place it on the root of the SD card. Reboot into bootloader and it will automatically apply the upgrades to the 2.17 firmware.
You then need to remove the SD card and delete that file. Download MeanROM onto the card and then put the card back in the phone. Boot into recovery and flash the ROM following the directions in the ROM's original post.
If you used to have 2.17 you should already have the latest firmware. Even after downgrading I didn't lose it. Now, the radio was a different story

That's why I suggested what I did: mainly so the firmware, radio, etc would all be updated so there would be no incompatibilities.
Unknowns guide says to use the 1.13 ruu which it down graded the OS,when I got done downgrading the hboot and booted back up I was still on 2.17 but the guide said run the ruu so I did, but I well try what you said when I wake up

Yes, you have to use the 1.13 ruu initially for the downgrade, but then you update to 2.17 and then install a ROM (at least that's what I did).

Glad it worked for you ! My battery sometimes drains 10% on a restart, so if you restarted during that 20 minutes, that might be why. Also, I've noticed that ROMs sometimes take a little time to settle in for some reason. MeanROM is usually VERY good on battery life (especially screen off), so I recommend recharging the phone and then testing the battery life. Also remember that the Evo3d is a beast and so screen on time is usually a few hours.

I don't know much about that phone. Does it have a bigger battery, slower processor, different screen size/type? All those could affect battery. Also, it's hard comparing different phone models. When I compare battery life I get now as compared to before I rooted, there is no comparison. My phone is faster with better battery by far. I get about 24 hours between charges with about 3 hours of screen on time.
I saw your post in the mean ROM forum. Their suggestions to reflash with Chad's super wipe first and to turn off 4g will help. 4g is a battery hog. Also try to lower brightness to the lowest comfortable level.

just downed hboot!!!!!
So I just did downgrad toolkit and I'm very happy I reccomend it to everyone looking to mod and have control overtther phone I mean we payed for them we should be Abel to use them as intended anyway its my first post however I've been hanging around for 2years learning and soaking it all up...the thing is I speell like worse then my 3year old but I was so happy about the downgrade hboot I had to say thank you....p.s. like the thread says bricking device is the hardiest part I was nervous for one and the timing he talked about was hard to hit it took hours I finnaly took it into my own hands and when loading to boot loader while the ruu.IMG was loading I connected via ac and as soon as it asked me if I wanted to update I said yes I'm almosted thinking it has something to do with battery being out prior that made it less difficult..so anyway thanks xda and sorry about the rambiling and I'm sure I'm in the wrong thread or something lol...
Hi.
I've had my s3 for a week now after having 2 yecars on the Milestone where I did ROMs and rooting and other stuff.
There are so many on the s3. Which one do I choose as I want a better battery life and performance but also still has touchwiz...
Could someone provide me with a guide if there is one for rooting and putting recovery on the device as I have no idea how it works on the s3.

Easy Peazzy......
Go to the Original Developement thread....find Chainfire Root/CW and flash the latest ones. Now your rooted
as for Roms i never recommend them as i can find something GOOD to say about almost all of them, we have good Devs here right now. so just flash away and see what fits your user profile.

Honestly i have seen any Rom that has better battery life by a big enough margin to say its that great. The Kernels is where i see the most battery improvement, no OC w/UV helps out. but the battery on this phone has been Impressive on ANY rom.......just MAKE SURE to cycle the battery once for at least every rom battery is going to be a big factor.
im using MiUi right now........and i must say the it has the Worst battery that i have ran into on the S3, but i still get 13-14 hours with 3-4 hours of screen time.
Foxhound .8 with NEAKS Kernel i was getting 19-20 hours with 3-4 hours of screen time(with Light Flow) so besides MiUi Foxhound is my back up rom.

No OTA you will have to use Odin for your first Root/Flash or Mobile Odin. like i said if you go into the forum im SURE it is stickied.
Just Do It. It has instructions that you can follow that are certainly detailed enough to get it done quickely.....should take you all of 5-10 min to get root and CWM.

can I flash any official firmware (like the last one of UK) with Odin? and no additional steps are needed? (I think I have clear after flash any official firmware I have to root again with the same guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238)?
srrybadenglish D:
Easy answer.....is, it really depends on what you are flashing.
MOST things come in CWM flashable Zips, but some kernels and stock roms come in .tars which you will need odin or Mobile odin to get onto your phone....both are safe and both are easy.
Hi guys, I am very new to the Note 2. I just unlocked and rooted the latest ota using Casual. Thanks to Adam Outler and everyone else involved. So my question is which ROMs are compatible with this ota? Basic question I'm sure. I came from the Razr and the kernel had to match so I assume its the same here? Anyone willing to shed some light on this for me would be greatly appreciated.

Any rom you want as long as it is in the VZW Note 2 threads can be flashed ours arent locked down by what update we are on because our bootloader is unlocked where it isnt on Moto phones. AOSP roms require AOSP kernels as TW roms require TW kernels. The roms come with kernels though so that isnt something tk worry about unless you I want to.
The only thing to remember is if you go to a 4.2 rom and want t I go back to 4.1 you have to flash a downgrade zip so your SD card doesnt become corrupted. You can find the downgrade zip in the Official CM 10.1 thread in the OP.
Check out Droidstyles guide in Android Development, its a sticky, it explains quite a bit and would ne helpful to you I think.

Thanks for the info. Exactly the answers and info I was looking for. I just flashed CleanROM and went through the flashing process. When it got to the end and said finish to reboot it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Couldn't get to recovery or download mode. I had to pull the battery and then turn it on. It went straight to the new ROM though without a hitch. Is that a normal part of the flashing procedure on the N2? The battery pull I mean, or did I miss something?

Thats not a normal thing to happen, but it does happen occasionally. As long as it boots up after the battery pull I wouldnt be too worried by it. I have had it happen to me before and after the battery pull I experienced no issues whatsoever.

CleanROM's good. It was the first ROM I flashed when I got my Note II too.
Eventually though, you may want to switch to something more feature-rich like Jelly Beans, which is what I'm rocking now. The features it adds are pretty awesome and you get full touchwiz functionality (S-Pen and the like) with the look of AOSP.
DL'ing Jelly Beans now. Gotta make a new TiBu before flashing though. Will give it a go shortly. My wife fusses at me sometimes cause on my old phone (Razr) and on this one I am always flashing different ROMs. She especially hates it when she calls and my phone goes directly to voicemail cause I am in recovery flashing a ROM or kernel.

Hi all, I'm feeling like a n00b on the Note too, and really appreciate the help all of you seem to be willing to share with each other. I'm not new to modding phones, recently I've been through an S3, DNA, RAZR HD and M, and even another Note 2. I made the mistake of swapping the Note 2 for an iPhone 5, and regretted it about thirty seconds later. Now that's my wife's phone, and due to the grace of another (local) xda member, I'm back rockin' the Note 2. This time around in looking forward to getting into some serious flashing and tweaking to get the most from the hardware. I've decided this is Verizon's best phone at the moment, with everything I need.
Don't worry, you're not alone in having a wife who gets annoyed at flashing and tweaking. Happens to me all the time, but I use the excuse it's one of the few hobbies that I have which doesn't involve the rest of the family and I need a bit of alone time. It kind of works as an excuse until the point where I need to use it again.
I'm looking forward to being part of this community and wanted to say hello.

I feel like an idiot now. Tired of waiting for KK, I flashed Mahdi like three days ago and got bootlooped, which took me a whole day to fix. Coming from Samsung phones, this phone had the first stock rom that I was comfortable using so I might go back but its almost 2 GB which is a tad bit too large for a phone with no expandable.

madhi is a great ROM, but you Must flash the PATCH for your device, before restarting.
It looks and plays amazing but I miss some of the cosmetic stock features. I guess ill try stock and probably end up aosp. Do you think stock 4.4 will improve AOSP functionality over time, with the kitkat kernel and all?

Aosp is definitely tough to get off of. The fluidity of it, the size of the os itself and the overall professionalism it brings to the device is awesome, in comparison to the cartoon style lg has put on.
But I digress... Stability, camera, multimedia playback and most of all battery life on stock lg rom all outweigh what aosp gives me.
I came from a nexus 5, I'm quite content with stock but might pick up next gen nexus tab to tinker with (that's the tough part, I like flashing a lot haha)

Is it really true that you get bettter battery life on stock? If yes, then that's shocking. The main reason I went to AOSP on Samsung phone was to get better battery life, its hard to believe that its the opposite here.

For my device and my needs yes, I have got overall better battery life on stock, that's even compared to custom kernels and tweaking values. Then again a 3000mah battery should be giving better battery life then most. On average I can hit an hour screen on for every 10-12% of battery usage.
I mean common sense would kick in here, if I'm gaming it'll drop more, but standby time (WiFi & data on) is amazing. Not even using greenify anymore tbh

Doing that now. 635mb of KitKat. Waiting for it to reboot after the second install.
I updated this morning. All worked well. I prepared by going back to stock recovery and removing xposed module last night. I don't know if it was necessary, but I didn't want to take any chances. I kept the phone rooted though. After the update, I'm still rooted, so all is good! Haven't had a chance to test it out too much though, but for those waiting, the update process was pretty smooth.

You kept the device rooted after taking OTA? Did you delete any system apps or use "survival mode" in SU?
Also what root method did you use? Thanks
Yup still have root access after OTA. Perfect.

I did a factory reset last night, which brought me back to stock recovery as well. I then checked to make sure I was still rooted, which I was. If not, I've used Kingo Root (http://www.kingoapp.com/index.htm) and it's worked great for me. Anyway, I was rooted, so all was good. I made sure Xposed was not installed, and I didn't install anything else, just waited until this morning. I checked for the update and away it went. After the update, I was still rooted. That's all I did. I didn't touch SU. I'm now in the process of making a backup using Titanium Backup, and then I plan to remove some Rogers bloat. I hope that helps.

As far as I am aware of, yes, you will need to uninstall any xposed modules you have and xposed itself.
Can someone else confirm please?

I didn't uninstall the Xposed modules, but I did disable them and then uninstalled Xposed before installing the OTA.
As a bonus, Tap to Pay is enabled in the 4.4.2 ROM, unlike for our American friends.
Hello, does anyone can confirm better battery life using DS Battery Saver and Greenify together? I use them both on 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note 8.0 and i got battery life almost doubled as in screen off state it doesn't even take a 1% !!! Really. As long as it is in sleep mode it rarely take 1% during 24 hrs. Of course i clear memory in task manager as well to be sure all is wiped out.
Still having 2.3.6 on my SGS2 and i can get 7-9 days per single charge (with DS Battery Saver on), but i use it as a phone and occasionally, 2-3 times on wifi to update apps or calendar events (less than 2 minutes) and sometimes browse internet for something quickly via 3g, maybe 5-10 minutes per charge. Little music which takes no more than 3% (means 2-3 hrs) per charge. So my needs are not demanding, and i can achieve usual 6-7 days per charge.
What I want is some Jelly Bean features I'm happy with on my Note 8.0 and mostly I cannot use Greenify on my SGS2.
Correct if I'm wrong, but if almost everyone suffer bigger battery drain on JB, comparing to GB, if I use DS Battery Saver and Greenify will this compensate battery drain and let my SGS2 battery last at least comparably to what I have now?

I don't know, never used it, but as I mentioned, I noticed huge battery life improvement using Greenify, too.
Well, I use DS battery saver on both devices, and I guess it is mainly DS Battery Saver thing to preserve battery on Note 8, but using it on SGS2 doest make as good work as on Note 8.
Maybe it is a cause of 2G/3G module I don't have on Note 8. Writing it I'm almost sure it is the thing! While Note 8 cannot be use as phone it doesnt search for a phone signal and this may drain battery during Deep Sleep mode. And Greenify probably won't do that much here. Right?

I can't. I'm on GB, need to have JB to install it, and this is my first question, if both apps will be able to compensate massive JB battery drain people were talking about? I want at least 5-6 days in my usage.

There is a lot to do to try JB (root, cwm, all apps and stuff) to get one app to try and then revert to GB again.... that's why I post it

I don't want to use your thread as debate session but why would you not want to root and custom recovery?[emoji53] I can most assuredly tell you that your loss / battery drain is do to bloatware and old firmware that can be upgraded and debloted to give you better performance and maximize the device.. Just a thought to consider no worries. [emoji16]

Got it rooed, bloarware removed, just have stuff i badly need. Seems all fine on GB right now, but there is something what drains battery 3 to 5% per night in deep sleep, almost no wakelocks (except for DS Battery Saver ones). But I wonder if it is caused by 2g/3g module comparing to no2g/3g module on my Note 8? Maybe if SGS2 doesn't have this module my battery drain will be 0% during night as it is on Note 8, hahah? Is there a way to disable it on SGS2, because airplane mode doesn't make it?

I would install the program I listed and check out the stats under partial waklocks and kernel wakelocks. Just so I understand how long are you getting on the S2?? Let's just focus on that. Your other device is a beast and quite honestly I think your comparing apples to elephants. No offence.. [emoji109]

Well, you might be right. SGS2 lasts for 7-9 days of my usage listed on first post...

Wow and that's not to your liking.. [emoji2] I'm sorry but that's pretty darn good. I see.. I also seen your 2.3.6. Listed What's your carrier may I ask and the actual model # of your GS2.

It is regular i9100, carrier Play (Poland). And you misunderstood... I am happy, but I want to switch to JB to get some unique features and this why I asked if those two aforementioned apps I use on my Note8 do the job and prevent massive battery drain on JB people are talking about.

Gotcha. I used to have Gs2 and I rooted it at the time I only knew of cwm. But I soon left GB and plunged into jb with both feet. Didn't regret it one bit. Once you leave as you know coming back if your not happy can take some doing. I would do my homework on my device and know every little nook and cranny. And I would download either a flashable stock ROM or Odin flashable stock 2.3.6 prior have it secured on ext sd so you can revert if your not happy. I myself use twrp but I'm on the note2 so its a bit different. I think there is a version of twrp on xda for your device can't remember if there's angi kernel that's compatible with GS2 but its worth checking into. And my last peice of advice is in flashing. Always do a full wipe internal as well dalvik etc. And give the device a settle in period. Clean master is a great tool. Its on playstore . also don't know if you ever heard of xposed but its also really great I think its compatible check it out as well. It all takes some doing but in the end I think you'll be happy.[emoji16][emoji106]

Did same things on mine, I think we are on the same level, althou I'm not into custom roms. Well, I did a nand backup via cwm and stock recovery, just to be sure, so I can revert back to what I have now, with every little detail, right? So did you update your S2 to JB and no complaints on battery drain?
Using clean master too! And I use Xposed but on Note 8. What for to use it on S2?

You have to download a stock 2.3.6 GB that can be used in Odin on your PC If you want to revert Jb is a different file table [emoji53] Your GB restore will not restore from from jb you can find a stock GB from sammobile.com or on xda you need to read up on this stuff before you flash away. Look in the forum what's 100% compatible? What are other users experiencing? Xposed has tons and tons of framework that can be used but you gotta read read read. And you really need to read about flashing and file types and what's 100 compatible with your specific carrier and model.. [emoji106][emoji16]

I have to be on GB to restore GB? I think nand backup is for restore to what you want from you got now, no matter what you have, that's what I heard.

The file types have to match.
Here's a basic example of a user trying to revert..

So I Odin my stock firmware, install CWM and then restore backup via CWM. Isn't Nand Backup a sort of partition image? That way it should be restored no matter what firmware you're on, as It should clear entire memory and replace it with your backup. That's how it works on PC
