I have a galaxy note 2 (SPRINT)
My details are
SPH-L900 GALAXY NOTE 2 (SPRINT)
Android version 4.3.1
cyanogenmod version 10.2-20131214 snapshot
kernal version 3.0.64-CMg9d16c8a
I am simply trying to learn where to go from here. I tried getting a new rom from room manager premium but it always says download error. I was trying to get 10.2 rc2 stable. But none of the other work either. I think I might need a new kernal but am lost on which one is right for me. Any help is appreciated. So basically I'll take the Eli5
Approach and go from there. How to get the right roms for me, kernels etc.? Thanks guys
Hi!
Easy, here's the forum section for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint
Now you need to go through the development section, and original development section. Read about the ROMs and kernels in the opening posts. See what appeals to you...and flash away!
Do a nandroid backup in recovery first...in case you need to restore.
And read the flashing instructions very carefully.
Good luck!! ?

Hi,
to install CWM Recovery and root the tab, you can follow these instructions (point A) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722745
Then if you want to install a custom rom, follow these instruction (this is for CyanogenMod 10.1 but I think it is the same way to install other roms) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052290

Are you purchasing new ? Or are getting this second hand ? The only reason I ask is because 4.2.1 is not the "stock" software at this time.
Mine came stock with 4.0.4, and I have read that they are now shipping with 4.1.1 installed
The only 4.2.1 version currently out is the custom CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM.
May just be a typo on your original post - but figured I would ask just in case

yep your right its 4.1.many thanks for all your imput everyone very greatfull
Change the title of your thread to reflect your question. This will help others in your situation to quickly find and learn from your post, in turn hopefully preventing more 'how do I root/flash' threads.
Wondering if anyone can direct me, I need instructions (and download links), I have an old Galaxy Note 2 (i317) on stock (but rooted) 4.4.2. I'm giving it to my mother who is on T-Mobile and I'd like to switch the ROM over to a stock T-Mobile one. I've tried searching the forums and my results have been mediocre. I've put on custom ROMS before, installed CWM, stuff like that, but it's been a while and I'm a little rusty so guided instructions would be great. Any guidance to the right threads (I'm sure they exist) would be really appreciated.

Starting advice please
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 quite a few years ago but would like to check out other ROMs. Doing some research I found that the sgh-i727 is NOT the skyrocket version. I'm not exactly sure how they are distinguished, but I do know they are different because I went to install [AOSPA's] Lollypop 5 only to discover the message that it was designed for the i727.skyrocket and that I have a i727 (just the plain vanilla version).
I'd like to keep using it but I want a newer ROM for it. Can anyone here who knows the difference recommend a ROM they know will work on the s2 that is not the skyrocket?
By the way, I always thought I had a Skyrocket. I believe it was sold to me as such for all I can recall. Under the battery it does in fact read just sgh-i727 with no R or anything after it.
Thanks.

OK, but then Paranoid/Android [AOSPA]'s custom ROM has an error in it. I have the link, but am not permitted to post it.
I used that one and it gave me the error mentioned - that the ROM was for an sgh-i727.skyrocket and my device was an sgh-i727 (without the skyrocket qualification).
Thanks anyway. I'll try Sultan's.

it will/should give u the same error as install scripts should be the same
i repeat :best guess ur using a non skyrocket rom. the one ur on now not the new one ur trying to flash.
what does it state(phone model) in settings>about
reason: ur current rom is not using the proper model name for ur phone, new rom is looking at that and stating it will not flash itself on to phone.
its about software not hardware, easy fix if u truly have a sgh-i727.
for a newb though it would just be simpler to flash stock jellybean w/odin then flash twrp or cwm recovery w/odin then flash whatever new rom u like.

Thank you. I have read sickies and researched. I have a Samsung Model SGH-i727. Its current Android version is 4.1.1.
It as originally an AT&T un-rooted phone. I terminated my contract after the period and went with other carrier but my phone kept using all the factory ATT apps. So, I rooted it. I was able to get the 4.1.1 using Cyanogen Mod 9.
It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'd like to try to install a newer OS version, maybe 4.4 or even 5 if possible.
Every version I've found here has not worked for me.
I have gone as far as reformatting my SD card, wiping with DARKSIDE, doing the complete wipes, Dalvik (reminds me of Dr. Who's Daliks) wipe, and tried to flash different ROMs found here.
Have CWMR Touch v.5.5.0.4.
My latest version loads Cyanogen Mod 9 and then the Android 4.1.1. I've asked for anyone to point me to a custom ROM they know works on the sgh-i727, but have gotten no answer. Guess I'll just have to keep searching and failing until one works.
I appreciate experienced people's impatience with newbees. I happen to be very experienced in my field, but I don't mind helping and mentoring less experienced people.
The CWM recovery your running is not compatible with 4.4 or 5.0 and will not install either one. Always go with the latest recovery. That is most likely why you're having trouble.
Hello, I have SIII i9300 international and I would like to speed up my phone. So I figured it could be done with flashing some new ROM onto it, because I´ve been having stock ROM for 3 years on it and I did not mind at all. I have no idea about anything concerning this, except that I need a ROM, some flashing software and a bit of luck so I won't brick my phone. Thanks for the pointing in right direction.
How do I perform backup of ROM?

I would suggest posting your question in the specific Q&A Help thread for your device > http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/help-thread-galaxy-s3-question-t2690307
One of the experts should be able to help you.
Good Luck.
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this platform and to be honest a bit overwhelmed. Apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.
I should also mention that I'm not too familiar with technical points.
I own an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) which claims its Android version 4.2.2 is still the most recent one for this device.
So I'm looking for a way to update to a newer versuon, at least Android 6.
My first question is which Android version you suggest?
Second one, how exactly do I do this (is there a step by step tutorial)?
Third one what are the risks? I read something about data loss and completely broken devices?
Thank you in advance.

Mate, I'm on the same boat. Same tablet, also overwhelmed The only response to your post points to some custom ROM page but the instructions are not detailed. I thought I had to throw my tablet but it seems like it still has some life to breath if I can get it a newer ROM (many apps are not supported anymore with Android 4.2).
I think the first thing to do is root the device but where to start? I'd prefer using linux with adb, etc.
There is a lot of stuff here. Is there anyone that has taken the time to write a detailed step by step guide somewhere?
BTW, my intention is not only to revive the device but to ditch all Google crap apps. In an ideal world, I would have installed a ROM from /e/ Foundation, but they do not support the device so I guess my next best bet is some custom ROM that uses LineageOS?
Hi,
First you need to root your device and install TWRP recovery:
More info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...final-root-single-step-twrp-recovery-t3404779
It's an old thread but you'll get the idea.
See this one as well:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-2/
You'll need to find the correct version for your model otherwise you'll and up with a nice paperweight.
After this, you'll be able to back up your current ROM and install new ones. Unfortunately, I have a different model of Tab 2 that has no available custom ROM's so I can't say which ROM is better than other. I would read more in the link provided for slim roms.
To get rid of the installed bloatware and even Google apps I used SD Maid. See my thread below with what's left on my tablet (Disclaimer: it's a barebone setup and not all things work so I don't advise going that deep unless you're willing to take the risk of having a bricked tablet. You were warned!):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recting-samsung-tab-2-10-1-att-i497-t4079993/.
Cheers!
