Help 4.4 Update on ATT i317 Note 2

cdragonm · Jun 29, 2014

Not sure but I think it killed Bluetooth. Was working fine before the update. Searched here didn't see anyone say anything about it though. Anyway, if you guys have the issue let me know, or if you fixed it.

I use this phone on Straight Talk, and I don't get Data no more either so I will have to get into contact with them about that. Ugh.... This is what i get when I update before i read...

OK, so. No go with straight talk.... I swear CS there is like a living hell... Also found out the bluetooth DOES work but only within inches of the phone, and even then it's like i'm 50 feet away....

I just reflashed it back to 4.1.2 and i'll leave it at that for now.

4.4.2 is the worst, and the fix, 4.4.3 aparently even worse. :mad:

Look at this one, and you can see it involves among others bluetooth.

Android 4.4.3 KitKat provides bug fixes, creates some bugs too

The comments are a good indication on how bad it is. One advice, don't try to go back to 4.3, it will brick.

How did you reflash it? There are all kinds of warnings not to do that due to the risk of bricking it.

I used this rom with odin and reflashed. (i'm not rooted either)

I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT

Working fine now. One thing to note though I did have to do the factory reset through the system menu's (power volume up and home button) as I have had to do every time I flash it.

cdragonm · Jun 29, 2014

Yeah, bluetooth is working fine again, data is back again. all is back t what it was. Shame too. i like 4.4. They need to get this working right...

geobjork · Jun 29, 2014

Oboy! Would I like to reflash my Galaxy Note 2. I have the stock 4.3.2 rom and I'm not rooted, but I have read so many warnings about bricking it, so I'm afraid to do that. Do you have any input to that?

cdragonm · Jun 29, 2014

Not really. I mean, some bricking can be undone can't it? I've flashed a lot of phones and not bricked anything yet though so I can't say. Reflash at your own risk

(I was actually NOT aware of the bricking issue but still would have reflashed it) Also, can you send me the 432 rom? If it's stock (not some edited crap) I would rather 4.3.2 than 4.1.2

geobjork · Jun 29, 2014

The bricking issue is due to Knox in Samsungs software. The 4.3.2 rom is for Note 2 N7105 (Lte). CSC=NEE, (Nordic Countries), no crapware, you have all English, N7105XXUEMK5. If it is the correct one for you i will upload it to my DropBox tomorrow. I'm at 12.30AM here (Sweden) right now but notify me here and I'll get back to you.

cdragonm · Jun 29, 2014

Hmm. NVM

Better not mess with the cell phone gods too much haha

geobjork · Jun 30, 2014

Ok, gotcha. In my case the phone stays in the drawer until a custom rom of Android 5, or L as they call it, is available. Custom rom because Samsung

cdragonm · Jun 30, 2014

So much for this. Woke up this morning and my phone won't go past the note 2 logo. I can get into download mode, but not the other...ugh. I don't have the money to deal with this shit man...

reeko43 · Jul 11, 2014

Since the update my bluetooth doesn't work. I have to hold the phone in my hand while using my LG Tone 730 headset. Before, I could walk all over my house. The bluetooth drops and reconnects during calls. This is horrible. Is there anyway i can fix this? I am not rooted and don't know a thing about flashing. I just want to use my phone like i used to. If I can't get help I guess I will have to go to the IPhone.

That rom must have not included the bootloader. Im betting if you check settings. Your still on the ne5 bl. Haveyou tried wifi yet to see I it is working? The fact is if you try to dowdowngrade the bl. You will brick. Yours probably did not try to down it because it was not in rom. Where did you get that rom?

I have said this all along how long have these updates been out and not fixed SAMSUNG DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT IT'S CUSTOMERS as long as they keep filling their bank accounts
