Anybody has any idea how to rectify S Note error? Flashed and new rom and it gone wacky. Restore it with previously working rom wont work either. the error still occurs.

Looks like a wiping issue. Did you wipe dalvik/cache/data/factory reset and restored backup?

Hello,
My friend has a galaxy s2 and recently his son somehow managed to get a virus on it. I have a lot of experience with rooting, flashing, and all that fun stuff. Especially with the t mobile galaxy s2 since I have one as well. He asked me If I can restore his phone back to a new rom since it was acting weird. For example, if he saves a new contact or installs or uninstalls an app, if he reboots all those changes are gone. It is as if the phone keeps rebooting to a certain time. I am guessing a virus is causing this.
So the first I thought of was to download a rom (Jedi Knight 6) and did the typical wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik, then flashed the rom with success. When I rebooted the phone, it was still the same, as if I did nothing in the recovery. I thought it may have been because I was CWM, so I installed goo manager and flashed the TWRP recovery through there. It gave me success but when I boot to recovery, it is still CWM. At this point I decided to use ODIN to restore it to the original stock rom. I followed the instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858435. First time I got a fail on ODIN, removed the battery and tried again and it gave me pass and the phone rebooted. When it did guess what? It was as if I did nothing.
I ran out of ideas. I did everything I can think of. I used the custom recovery to try to wipe everything and flash a new fresh rom but that failed. I even tried ODIN to restore it to stock but that failed as well. Is there anything else I can try? I did a lot of research but couldn't find anything, maybe someone can give me some tips?? Thank You in Advance!!
Can someone please help me?
This sounds very strange. You said even after you Odin back to stock it reverted back to what he had before you reinstall the stock ROM ? Was the phone rooted before you tried to help him?
Did you try an aosp ROM?

Yea I know its strange, and its not like I have no experience with these things. I was very suprised when that happened. Yes it was and is still rooted, Im sure because super su is on it. He is currently running JediMindTrick (ROM by ptmr3). I still dont know what to do. I will try an aosp rom, but if odin didnt do it I doubt another rom would lol.

Try wiping cache and dalvik. Then format system, data, cache using cwm. Factory reset then flash new rom using cwm or odin.

Hey all, so I flashed the chemistry ROM and Goodness 8.0.3, which both have multi window. After I try to power on my phone after a full shut down, neither ROM seems to boot without me going into recovery and clearing both cache. Anyone else experience this or have a workaround?

I just had the same issue I installed chemistry on my phone worked with no problems but on my moms phone i went into a bootloop after rebooting. I had to go into recovery do a factory reset wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash the Rom all seems to be working now. Oh it was chemistry v5 btw.
Edit
Did you retore any system data with TB then hit fix permissions thats what was causing the problem for me.

I did install non-system apps thru TB and installed latest Ktoonz kernel. Just not sure why either would result in a boot loop now.

Try flashing a different kernel, and try fixing permissions through rom manager, then reboot wipe cache and dalvik, make it run the optimizing apps thing.

okay, I restored my stock ROM. but another problem occur. I don't know if its hardware or software problem. When I go to camera, my phone reboots. What is its cause? help me again please! :crying:
How did you restore? From a nandroid backup or an ruu?
First try clearing data from the camera/gallery app (i can't remember if they are linked on froyo like they are on ics) theres an option in the application menu somewhere, if that doesn't work wipe the phone and restore it again or try a different ruu.

I am so frustrated!
I used Omega rom for two months and yesterday I tried to install latest Rootbox on my phone, wiped everything and installed.
My IMEI number got messed up somehow from it so I fixed it and tried to install Stock rom ME6 based, but it made everything worse.
Since then I'm trying to flash, wipe, flash, wipe 3 roms- 4.1.2 stock, Omega, Carbon and in all three i got a different problem:
IMEI messed up - fixed.
No network connection - a huge problem but i think i fixed it.
Now I get "Factory test stopped" msg and no matter how many wipes i do and which rom im trying to install, the msg won't go away and Gmail keeps FC.
Tried to flash modems too (donno if it's connected but i tried it anyway)
Tried to find info about Factory Test but with no luck.
Can anyone help?
If you have efs backup try using arizpatch https://db.tt/JXo5Y2oBthe factory test msg is due to empty efs partition

Not working for me.
My IMEI is current. I fixed it. But the Factory Test msg appears each time. I don't have a lock screen and my phone doesn't function.
Is that the end of my N7100?
UPDATE:
I have no idea how i did it but i fixed the factory test.
Installed Carbon and my IMEI was just fine. After I reset my phone, IMEI number got messed up again. Please help me understand what's going on?
I did the whole process backwards, I wiped and made a back up. Not a real problem. Just curious if it could work as a super wipe? I never experienced a problem restoring after a ROM tryout without wiping. With a no os backup and restoring that instead of wiping would that cause problems after a while?
