All CWMs the same? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

When ever I'm on a 4.2.2 ROM ROM manager thinks I'm hspa+ Galaxy Note 2. Would it still work on my Verizon note 2?

It may be close enough to work, but I wouldn't recommend flashing another device's recovery as not all partitions are the same. The important ones are from what I've seen, but I don't think others are.

Sure there is, and it's a really good way to end up having the exact same
problems as a lot of other people are having here when they done that.
So if you still want to do it, let me know and I will post all the links
needed for the international rom flashing and installation.
what do u mean of problems

Wait till some developers port them to i777 (if ever). Otherwise, you may wind up with screwed up capacitive buttons, a modem that doesn't work, and maybe even different bootloaders.
It can be done - designgears' Perception proves this.
What I do know - it won't work with Odin-flashable ROMs like Litening. I tried flashing Litening's system image once and it didn't even boot.
For a CWM-flashable package, at the very least you would need to:
1) Replace the kernel with one for our device, or remove it from the package and the updater-script lines that flash it
2) Remove or replace the modem and updater-script lines that flash it
3) REMOVE ANY BOOTLOADERS FROM THE PACKAGE AND UPDATER-SCRIPT OR YOU WILL LIKELY BRICK.
If you do the above, it might work.
This is unfortunate because coming from the inspire I could flash roms from the desire hd without any issues...

see, the difference there is that the desire hd and the inspire are identical aside from the audio differences, which was an easy flash
the international galaxy s2 and the att galaxy s2 are different in more ways than one. the main difference being the capacitive/hardware button layouts.
its not like the inspire was. dont go flashing random crap willy nilly
Maybe a script can be made to easily port from the international to ours. Designgears has done it already I wonder what it took to port. They've got a ton of available roms already and some are themed quite nicely!

Unfortunately, there is the potential for not always recognizing automatically whether a bootloader is present. It's easy enough to check for Sbl.bin and nuke it - but what if the ROM author used a slightly different name? Also, what happens if the updater-script tries to flash a file that's not there? It might write just enough to corrupt the bootloader.
Simply put, unlike Hellraiser, it can't be done automatically since people sometimes include bootloaders.
Also even after replacing modem/kernel, it looks like DG had to do some more "down and dirty" customizations involving the noise reduction controls to get call quality to be decent. Smali mods tend to be nonportable/nonautomatable...

Roms...?

I know the note is very new and I see there are 2 roms out there already! I'm new to att. Coming from sprint and evo..my question is how much dev support will this have? I've never heard of Odin will I have to use it instead of a custom recovery? Will I be able to just root and use cwm or twrp to flash roms themes etc..? I have 30 days to test phone. While I do love it I worry about dev support. Thinking if we will get aosp or miui love? Anyone have any inside news?

Off the cuff? I'd say a bit note than the average Samsung phone, seeing as how it's so awesome. Might take a bit though, Sammy isn't as nice as HTC when it comes to unlocking bootloaders.

Odin is always your fail-safe and safest was to flash...it's really not that hard...
BUT there already is a CWM Beta recovery that works great for the Note. So you will be able to flash everything the way you did on your evo

Actually Samsung doesn't lock their bootloaders. HTC or Verizon does. And yes you will be able to use CWM to flash. There is also been talk that AOKP group is building us a ROM.

You know zip about Samsung phones. Bootloader isn't locked.
This phone will have killer Dev support.

I'm going to go with as much dev support as the Skyrocket. And as much AOSP as the Skyrocket as well. At least for a while.

Let me get out my crystal ball.
I agree that there will be very good dev support. We already have two very excellent devs that have released ROMs and several others working on roots and other tools.
As stated, the CWM beta 3 recovery is getting great reviews.
I say keep the phone but it's your call.

[Q] Does flashing back to stock affect T-mobile modem?

I've flashed a T-mobile modem and using with the HSPA+ for awhile, however the Saurom ROM I'm using has some bugs like I can't reboot my phone properly and I sometimes lost signals, so my question is: if I want to flash my Note back to stock android, am I gonna lose the capability of using the HSPA+ which I'm using right now? Is there any ROM you would recommend that would be stable for the Note and still have the T-mobile modem enabled? Please give me an answer because I've been confused with this for awhile. God bless you all...
Question
Anybody? Please?
I'm using Saurom 7.1 and ICS theme on,Blaze modem and its been running great. It isn't as fast speedwise compared to my Amaze 4g but stable and fast.

You will probably have to reflash the tmo modem. But it might still be there as others have had non-stock modems that were still there even after flashing a stock tar file.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Best way to be sure would be to flash the stock radio. Though, it would be nice to know if using Odin will put EVERYTHING back to stock.
I'll bet the answer exists on the forum already but it's a good question, regardless.
Sent from my exotic rain dance using xda premium
Oops. Read the question wrong. So far as i know, once you flash a radio, it's there forever. Unless you flash a new one. Depending on how someone makes their ROM, this could change, but I'm betting that most of the devs aren't worried about forcibly making the people flashing their **** switch modems.

thanks for sharing. I've heard some infos about flashing back to stock could affect the radio, but I feel relieved when I saw this.
Dont worry about the modem in GB just flash it and it'll work
all ive heard is that the "ICS leak" doesnt play well with TMO modem
but idk to be honest

YELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had my note for less than 8 hrs n now its stuck on the samsung screen after flashing a tethering fix from UCLE2

I flashed the tethering zip as well. No problems.
how'd you get into recovery? For some reason I think I read some people having problems rebooting to recovery from ROM manager. Just wondering.

I use collective tools, but you have to be running one of their roms. You can grab Quickboot from the market. ROM manager should probably not be used with the Note. I would uninstall it. You could always use the old fashioned method....power and volume up and down.

Question about custom Rom

Is it possible to use Custom Rom that's out for other Carrier's Note 2 or should I just wait for one that is specifically made for Verizon Note 2?
I just upgraded from Verizon Google Nexus and I am loving this phone so far. I am just hating all these bloatwares that came with the phone.
The boot loader is locked at the moment so then won't be any custom ROMS until that changes. But that doesn't mean there won't be any mods.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Do not flash a ROM that isn't made for the carrier. You could possibly brick the phone. Plus we can't flash anything yet
