Samsung firmware for its Android devices is almost the same. And Samsung is using CSC codes to control features available on Android devices and countries. So by editing the CSC feature.xml (or others.xml), you can enable some disabled features. This secret CSC is working on latest Jelly Bean firmware for Samsung devices like Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2… Not all CSC codes are working on your Samsung devices but no harm to try them. Note – root access is required.
I like Samsung Android devices because they have unlocked bootloader. Same apply to Samsung Galaxy Note II. So that you can modify it with whatever you prefer like install custom kernel, ROM, theme, firmware… However, install these unofficial stuffs will void warranty ~ custom binary download will increase, current binary and system status to custom in Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Odin Download Mode. No worry, you can always restore to stock Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to recover warranty back. Reset custom binary download to No, current binary to Samsung Official and system status to Official. And Device status from Modified to Normal (Settings – About device – Status). It will be like a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 like you turn on it for the very first time. How to do so? Please refer to below step by step video guide to know more…

How to unroot Samsung Galaxy Note II? Lot of people confuses about rooting and install custom ROM. To me, rooting and custom ROM are 2 different things. Rooting only grant you root access while installs custom ROM is not called rooting. It change your current firmware with something else totally. Just take unroot Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as example. It is a task to remove root access from Galaxy Note 2. And not restore to stock firmware. So don’t be confused by these two…
Backup Android applications, games and data are fairly easy with Titanium Backup. However, root access is required in order to use Titanium Backup just like most other Android backup applications in Google Play Store. Can I backup and restore Android applications and data without root access? Yes, you can but adb knowledge is required. No worry, ClockworkMod team has make our lives easier by coming out this useful application ~ Carbon – App Sync and Backup. Carbon does not require root access. Therefore, I can use it on my unrooted HTC One X.
