Hi guys, so I have a problem with my Note II. I installed a rom yesterday which is where these problems seem to start from. The phone is glitchy, and when the screen is left of for more than 2 minites or so, it wont turn on unless I remove the battery. Also, after I re-boot the battery level is normally 10% less than before. Another issue I had is that I couldn't boot into recovery after flashing this rom however I have no fixed this by using Odin to re-flash CWM recovery.img. But even after going back to by stock backup I made in CWM before I flashed this rom, the problem still persistes (Laggy, freezes)
All I can think of is that this Rom (Omega 3.0) uses AROMA to install, could that be a issue?
Any Ideas anyone? Im not worried about any of the files on the device just want to get it sorted!
Thanks

Not at all its as easy as a cupcake
Just know the terms for it
Would you hear a brotherly advice (which i would do myself?)
Use the superwipe script from Android Revolution HD and install mike's ROM. It should have the same effect as odin wipe, only better...
Mike's roms are known to be the best ever. They are totally stock! just extreme perfomance...
So its better thsn going back to stock

Right okay that sounds like a plan, I dont know if I will be able to keep the phone on long enough to download all thta and as I cant connect it to the computer unless its in download mode :/ I could give it a go though, could you post a link to what I need please? Yes, im a complete noob
Put the ROM of your choice on internal sdcard (I also put the same zip on the external just in case something goes wrong)
Make the appropriate backups of apps, data, contacts, sms, pictures and whatnot.
Reboot into recovery and do a full wipe, explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909868
Flash ze ROM.
Edit: In CWM, this is how I do a full wipe.
Format system
Format data
Format cache
Format preload
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Sometimes I also do the "fix permissions" at this point.
Then I flash the ROM.

You can find the superwipe script from this forum too...
But be sure to put your downloaded rom on SD card, not internal SD...

Hmmm....that seems to be a prob!
Because superwipe wipes anyyyything! On the phone. Anything.
It couldnt be sofrware issue...
Try to go back up on stock rom, restore your EFS (if you backed it up!) and claim warranty? there must be a solution with sammy for this...
This isnt normal... you can try :good:
I think thats what im gonna have to do I did try superwipe and still nothing. Is there a easy way to go back to stock? Using odin? Will I have to delete CWM for this? :S

Yes yes deleting CWM is important for that.
And i just found the backup/restore EFS tool for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922473
Yup you have to go to stock using ODIN...
Try to flash ALIH? I dunno...i thinkthat would be better and less suspicious

But atleast stock rom should?
Atleast first flash stock rom from sammobile.com (not the rooted ones here)... And then restore EFS...
Then apply check: try to start cwm recovery :good:

Why restoring EFS?? Also i dont think that restoring EFS is ging to erase cwm
Stock roms from sammobile (full roms) include recovery.img, so after flashing with Odin he is going to have stock recovery.After that through stock recovery, wipe cache+wipe data/factory reset.
And before visiting repair center, flash stock rom from sammobile and check your phone if problem is still there. I think that somehow with the custom rom and restoring cwm backup you f***ed up software

Restoring EFS because he is going to give his Note in warranty...
Until you backup and restore your original EFS, samsung keeps the track of the number of times you flash so it does not accept warranty.
Restoring EFS is the only chance to claim warranty.
restoring EFS doesnt remove recovery.. hmmm...
Is there any way to remove recovery?

In order to remove cwm recovery, just flash a full stock rom with pc odin
Are you sure about warranty and EFS? In order to backup/restore original EFS you need root, so one way or another you need to flash one or more times
Are you 100% sure?

Flash a new ROM clean. Hey at least you got past soff finally. Good chance your nandroid is corrupt. Just download a new ROM and flash it. Perhaps a bad download on the other one or perhaps you have an outage near you.

flash back to a sense rom, it should reset the LTE signal (did for me) and then flash another AOSP if you want an AOSP rom

I have run into this problem before going from sense to AOSP on the One, the Rezound also suffered from this. I have done this multiple times for both devices with 100% success, unfortunately a full wipe is required.
-Change your custom recovery to the stock recovery
-Factory reset from H-Boot, I usually do this twice
-This at least for me clears up data issues, and for some reason only factory reset from H-Boot seems to work. Custom recoveries do not clear the affected radio caches

The radio RUU is just that only the Radio's, if you have received this handset with most of the work done (S-Off) I would assume it had not been factory reset from Hboot after doing this. I had read that the S-Off process could affect data and it was good practice to factory reset from Hboot after completing S-Off. All that being said I have always been on a Sense ROM when doing this, as a warning back up anything you cherish...... for this wipes **INTERNAL STORAGE!!**
Go to Zarboz's decrypted RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436
-Download either .08 or the .10 DECRYPTED RUU
-Unzip it and find the recovery signed.img file
-Replace your custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) with the above recovery.
-Go to Settings>Power> Deselect the fast-boot option.
-Reboot into HBoot
-Select Factory Reset from the options
-Let it do its thing, when the One boots up do not worry about setting up accounts or anything because you are going to boot back into HBoot and do another factory reset, again uncheck fast-boot. I know this seems like overkill but considering you have already gone through all of this why not just wipe it again for good measure.
-Once all of this is done push your custom recovery
-Flash away and enjoy.
-Now this method will not help if you have fried your SIM card by doing a tower update (*228).

Dude you are freaking amazing!!!
Funny thing, i used Flashify to to flash the img
file and rebooted the system, it showed
a phone with a loading bar, it did its thing,
then rebooted, went into the OS and 4G
is working!
Thank you so much man!
Flashify eliminates pushing ,a great tool. If you have Flashify and also Meenova SD card reader you never have to mess with adb and fastboot again. Two great tools.

My M7 had quite the meltdown yesterday, highlighted by what seems to be a corruption of my cache partition. Long, long story short, I was able to use the ruu to 2.10.605, where everything seemed fine. Funny enough, I kept s-off and an unlocked bootloader through the process.
I was content to keep the phone as is, since my f'ing with it surely caused the cache issue. But, to be safe, I rerooted, installed CWM (TWRP will not install for me, despite a dozen efforts), and backed up. Then, to see if the problem had been solved, I tried to wipe cache, but no dice. I won't be installing original ROMs anymore, it seeems. Not a huge deal since I at least have a functional phone, but now it has downloaded 4.4 and wants to update. A couple of questions:
Should I assume that the update will likely run into cache-related issues?
Will the update relock the bootloader and/or return the phone to S-on?
If either of these is a yes, I'm thinking about using the 2.10 ruu again, returning everything as was, and then installing santod's OTA killer. I can live with 4.3 on this phone for another year - not ideal, but considering the alternatives...
Thanks in advance to anyone who might have an idea about all this.

Yes, I got them from this site, under that section. I just installed Phil's CWM, which booted, and allowed me to clear the cache (!), but now I can't install a rom. I tried your NuSense Max and your odexed 4.42....in both cases I got a status 7 error. (Before I tried either one, I updated the firmware, fyi.)
Fortunately Phil's CWM backup process is simpler and faster. Unless there are other suggestions, I think I'll tried flashing your OTA killer and live with 4.3
Thanks again.

Twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 will install those Roms.
You can always do fastboot erase cache
That will clear the cache.
Until a newly installed recovery has booted into the OS once, it usually won't clear cache.

I don't know what in the hell I've been doing (I swear that's the same TWRP file I've been using) but, just like that, it booted, and successfully installed your NuSense Max Rom. No more 4.3, no cache issues, no more worry about OTAs. You're the man!
Thanks a million.
I have a SIM free M8 running stock 2.22.401.5 (inc recovery) but S-Off.
Got the OTA notification and selected to install it. It reboots to stock recovery but after a few seconds when the green progress bar is about a 1/3 full, it stops and a red warning triangle appears.
After a couple more minutes the phone reboots and is still on the old version. Tried again but the same result.
Any advice would be warmly welcomed.

If you are going to do a factory reset, you can save all your data easily.
you can flash TWRP recovery, make a backup of DATA partition, Wipe factory reset and reflash Stock recovery, apply the OTA.re flash TWRP recovery again and Restore only DATA partition backup.after that you can revert back to stock recovery if that your wish.
this way you will have all you user data with a clean SYSTEM partition without having to install and reconfigure all your system from scratch.

Your phone is not rooted?
Edit: I read the previous posts and i think is because u have SuperCID, i think u must have your original CID.
same here.. i also flashed the 3.xx update. im on s-off, supercid and my custom rom was viperone 2.5... when i was flashing the update, error 24 appeared. im already on supercid so i wonder why would it fail. so i reflashed the previous firmware which is 2.22.401.5.. it went well but then when im alrady on my homescreen, i notice that i don't have a signal from my mobile network and after a few minutes the phone restarts. could you help me?
I'm officially a dumbass. I managed to open the stock recovery right after it failed and saw the issue. It said.
platform.xml unexpected content
This was from when I applied a previous SD card write fix patch.
After reflaahing a stock ROM it updated fine.
A couple of things puzzle me though. Why did the system restore not revert this file to original and why did the last OTA go through ok when I'd had the patch installed prior to that also.
Recently tried several times to flash cm or other aosp roms. Always get stuck on boot screen. Only roms that boot are tw based. So are aosp roms not possible on my locked bootloader? Is my bootloader locked lol?
Did you do a full wipe before you flashed?
Full wipe / factory reset.
Only way to go from TW to cm.
Pp.
Yes. Using twrp. Used the standard wipe method. Also tried wiping caches and the system. Ive even formatted my system. Still always stuck on boot screen. It is the CM boot screen however.

Looks like only TW roms for me.......Thanks everybody.
Cm isn't as bad on a device that doesn't need to be super reliable, like my phone, I need it to be on point at all times having a disabled child in school and never knowing when the school may call for whatever reason. I do run it on my Gal Tab 2 and it runs great, no issues and great battery life.

Bootloader or modem doesn't make a difference, even with NH7 bootloader you should be able to flash any rom
Now I'm confused...So then what's the big deal about locked/unlocked bootloaders? Any idea why aosp roms won't boot on my phone? I'm fairly positive I've done every wipe and my twrp is the most recent one....thanks in advance

We don't have locked bootloaders.. Don't know, try different kernel after you flash or another recovery like cwm or philz
I thought they locked them with the mk2 bootloader when they added knox. Ill try again ive tried flashing kt kernel after flashing rom and gapps(made sure it wasnt the tw version). Ill try with cwm recovery. Thanks for trying to help. Ill make a backup of my current rom and try again.

If they were locked you wouldn't have been able to flash a custom recovery
Locked bootloaders are seen on the Verizon and att varients of the S4 , that's where safestrap comes into play. Locked means you can't flash a recovery/custom Roms etc. T-Mobile comes with unlocked BL allowing us to customize our phones. NH7 doesn't allow to you to downgrade BL's, not the same as locked BL. Its a Knox thing, and that only messes with warranty.

Can you state exactly what you wipe?
In twrp I use the standard wipe. I forget what it's called but it's the top right button. Brings you to a screen that says that this is all u need to wipe for flashing a new rom. I think it's basically a factory reset. In addition to that I go in advanced wipe and do both caches. I've also even tried wiping system and a few times I've even formatted my data which I think deletes absolutely everything. I tried using Odin to go back to complete stock and re root then Odin twrp. Still sits at boot screen unless I flash a tw style rom...... I'm starting to think it might not even be worth it anymore, not even sure what I'm missing out on honestly. It's just really bugging me that aosp roms won't boot.
That is rather odd, they boot.. Only other thing to try is to flash a different kernel or switch recovery to cwm or philz
