I rooted and unlocked my Note 2 last week and flashed beans b8. Today I flashed b9 but I was wondering if I also have to flash the modem to VRALL4 as beans links that on his thread. My phone's build number is already VRALL4 since I had accepted the last OTA before I rooted and unlocked. My 4G and calls/texts seems the same as it has always been by the way. Thanks.

I have been seeing a lot of stuff about the update and I was wondering what exactly I should do about it. Currently I'm on cleanROM 4.0.5 with twrp installed, do I need to do the OTA update if I like what I have now? If so should i revert back to stock firmware before doing it? Is the new update rootable/does it come with a differently locked bootloader? Thanks

wrong thread , sorry
I try to apply the update from Verizon but it just says update failed. Does it have anything to do with me using Exynos abuse from chainfire?
And I've heard that the update will lock the bootloader. Should I change to a custom recovery before I apply the update?
Did you fix the exploit which you can do with that app? If yes that is probably why it is failing. If you want to rom you should not take this update until you see someone has busted into the new bootloader.
Why would you take the ota? It adds no functionality and just locks up your phone

Like an idiot, I saw the OTA and got all excited. Without doing any research, I flashed back to stock and applied the update. Needless to say I am now boot loader locked and I can't feed my flashing addiction.
My only excuse is that I'm a recent iPhone convert, so my brain is still probably addled...

I'm also I recent convert from iPhones...I dodged the OTA bullet by a couple days. Have had the phone for weeks, but just finally rooted, unlocked and flashed a ROM...right before this nightmare started. I'd rather be lucky than good.:good:

Adryn posted a safe OTA flashable zip using TWRP in the General section. And yes you will need an unlocked bootloader to use custom recovery. If im correct you should be able to remove the Exynos patch and then unlick and root using Adams Casual method which gives you TWRP. Youll have to update TWRP (I used GooManager to update to latest Twrp) in order to apply the safe update.
unlocked Note2
Just got the Note 2 the other day and it took the ota. The phone is not rooted and currently on the latest.
From what I am reading I can not find a root and unlock bootloader method right now, so posting here to confirm.
Also, does anyone know a good theme that has an AOSP lockscreen and is compatible with the newest Clean ROM?
Thanks.

You can update from your VRALL4 to VRAMC3 like jcollier said there is a root... You're all good...

Thanks for the info.
Seems like people are having issues with this method, hit or miss?
If I apply Casual and am success I can go ahead and install custom recovery which will block OTA update requests, is that right?
Whats the difference between VRALL4 and VRAMC3?
a detailed explanation required as I am on VRALL4 and want to use this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329740

VRAMC3 is the newest OTA released by VZW, there are only minor changes, it is just an upgrade to 4.1.2 and therefore a lot of the under the hood stuff has been changed but not much that you will notice. The biggest problem with it is it had our bootloader unlock blocked but Adam and the team found a way around that and now VRAMC3 users are able to unlock.
If you're unlocked you can just flash one of the VRAMC3 ROMs and use the mod.

I am on beans 12, which is VRALL. I flashed the VRAM and it works fine. I couldn't tell much difference, but maybe that is because i am on the old rom.

Pretty sure the new roms are based on a leak, I don't think an official OTA has been pushed yet.
