Sim toolkit not working after rooting? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not completely sure wheter this happeneing after changing my mobile call and data plan or after rooting but I think it happened after rooting. Namely, the sim toolkit previously worked and I could access data on how much I had spent etc...now it doesn't. Is this common and is there a fix other than flading custom roms etc...I quite like the phone the way it is. Thanks all!

Try rebooting without sim card and then rebooting with it.

Nah I require root. I guess it is a sacrifice I have to make to have root. I don't understand though... I thought it could be because of Root call blocker as well but I disabled it and no change...

That doesn't make much sense to me, I already have stock rom rooted?

If this helps, I checked my applications and this application is supposed to be 0,00 B in size. I don't want to mess around if there is a chance I brick my phone. I will be the first to admit I am not too good with all this. Rooting was about top of my ability. So if anyone can help a damsel in distress out with a simple solution, I will be grateful.

I found stk.apk in system/app/ with root explorer, what will happen if I click instal?
Does this make any sense to anyone? I did do OTA update just before I rooted: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34909

Try installing it
Sent From Samsung's Galaxy Note II Using Internet

The issue resolved itself when I removed GoLauncher. Don't know why. For now it is OK.

The issue returns itself. It turns out it fixes itself if I put the phone in airplane mode, restart it, then after it restarts, turn off the airplane mode (which requires sim code then). OK so I know what to do now, but it is slightly annoying that this keeps happening. Basically it happpens after every reboot if the phone is not rebooted from airplane mode. Any ideas?

Always or just once.)
Are you on custom rom?

Im not sure if i know what you mean
Im rooted and everytime i reboot my phone it says macksrom powered by mackentosh
Did you install the macksrom or did you simply root and leave the Samsung touchwiz ROM on it?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I bought this samsung gn 2 from my brother in law everything was already done to it. I think he installed the macks rom and he must have left the the touchwiz on it. Because it keeps asking me when i do things perform action using touchwiz or xperia
I also just noticed that i have goomanager on it. Can i use the gooman to reflash this phone? If so can someone give me very detailed instructions on how to do this?? LOL im not the sharpest tool in the shed, but i think i can do this. Oh i also read something about odin. Which one would be the easiest to use?

[Q] Wifi stuck flicking on and off and hanging in no mands land

I have a Sasktell Note 2 and have major problems with the WiFi
When turning it on it will flick on and off then get stuck off, when i mean flick on and of it never fully turns on the on light comes on for maybe a split second then back of and just hands with it not being on or off and not usable.
I have flashed a multitude of roms and put stock rom back on but this problem will not go away and is random, sometimes removing the battery will help and it will work for a few hours or days then crap out again.
Tried and searched even did the copy the old etc/wifi setting over the orginal did not work.
getting close to the point of stamping on it and getting a Iphone:crying:
Thanks for any help
reboot your router...
Factory reset the device and set up WiFi again..
Sounds like a dirty device...
Router reset also as mentioned above...g
Thanks for advice not sure what you mean on router not using a router, im just trying to turn on the wifi on my phone and its not that it wont connect to anything it just wont turn on.
I have done factory resest 1,0000000000000 times and just flashed another 2 roms same problem.
If you are using wifi at your house etc..
Power down the router for your internet connection and reboot it..
This could also be a hardware issue...
It sounds like you have exhausted the other repair options with fresh installs and trouble shooting....g
Thanks no its nothing to do with a router its a phone issue.
Not connecting to router or anything for that matter just turning on wifi on the phone.
Pos is ready be thrown through a wall no one seems to know the reason
Also as wifi button is not working it also means hotspot is not working
Where can I get the original note 2 rom for sasktel every one I find is bell or ata one last ditch at fixing it

No worries...
Unroot and reset is easy enough...g
Well downloaded the rom installed it and still no joy
Maybe the phone is just #@%$#@$.
Going to try re-partition see if that makes a difference.

Well tried a few more things and think i screwed it,
It now comes up with baseband unknown and the phone memory has dropped to 0 if i connect to the usb cable I can see the phone on the PC but has odd numbers when it comes to free memory and cannot create anything as says zero memory.
If i go to the phone there is no longer any signal and the memory is at 0 also.
I just re checked odin i think I clicked Nand erase all by mistake ooops
If you did erase the nand....the phone is effectively dead..
Unless you have a full backup to restore your EFS and IMEI #....then it's bye bye note2..
Oops is right....
Ya killed it....g
Edit:
Do you have a backup ??
That part about being careful was no joke....g
No back up so no phone.................
Could I not DL a nadro from online and flash it?
If that's not a option bye Note 2 I would like to say it had been a fun ride but you where a piece of crap and destroyed my trust in Android your brother SGS1 had a hand in destroying it also )
you cant download someone elses nandroid and use it..
sounds like operator error has runied another phone;
dont blame it on Android
I would agree operator ruined it im not blaming it very odd of you to read that from the sentence.
I stated my first android sgs1 no good nothing to do with anything other than the phone, inline mic and usb sound did not work GPS did not work Samsung stated no work around live with it. Note 2 over 6 months of no Wifi or hotspot makes phone useless for me as it is a required feature as country living no internet unless the phone works. Tried fixing and talking about it no joy so had already decided the phone was going in the trash, hence why im not that fussed that it bricked.
Very sorry about the phone...
It's a fine device...but is not a solve all...
No device is....g

Try this maybe you can still revive it it was done on S3 so you will just use cf auto root from original dev section and use custom rom for Note ll

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note II WIFI & 2G problems

I need help with my Note 2 (GT-N7100).
On a regular basis WIFI (and bluetooth) won't start or hangs. This occurred after I rooted the device and installed cyanogenmod cm-10.1-20130715-NIGHTLY-n7100. I should have known this rom is far from stable, but I was curious to try it. Wish I hadn't!
I removed the root (to unrooted) and reinstalled the latest stock rom from Samsung (via KIES). The problem stays the same.
I searched the net for solutions but no 100% cure so far. I tried some suggestions that I found like removing the battery, Sim and sd-card and pressing the ON-button for a minute and then rebooting. Sometimes this helps most often not...
What is curious about this is that when the device is in this state 2g indicates having several full bars even when the Sim is not installed!
Very confusing. Is this a software or a hardware problem. Can anyone help out?
Thanks from the Netherlands
Showing the bars without a sim is normal, that's how Samsung made the interface. You can try to reset phone to factory settings from the phone. See what happens.

[Q] easy root method s4 mini

after multiple attempts using the odin method I found an easy root. my phone is rooted but I dont have a custom recovery. While this really doesn't concern me much, my problem is wifi tethering. my previous phone was an HTC thunderbolt on Verizon. my new s4 is sprint. I never had problems with rooting my htc or my wifes razor. I'm not completely green to the world of roms. WiFi tether from the Google play store is what I used on both and I was intending to use this as well for my mini. is their another app I should be using? or is it simply a settings issue? I have read another thread about tethering issues, but that was for the odin method with cm. I followed the directions precisely with the odin method, but it doesn't seem to recognize my phone when I get ready to use odin. it goes to the warning screen, I plug it in, go to next screen. odin says all threads complete (succeed0/failed0) it says this if I try to run it without the phone plugged in as well. this is why I went with the easy root method. I even tried to change the settings in wifi tether. but the only profile it had was for a standard s4. this profile did not work and auto detect seems to fail too. I get a wifi tether started with errors check log. but no log file is saved. I'm pulling my hair out. both me and my wifr need to be able to tether. any help would be greatly appreciated.
No need for an app, look at the screenshots... They're from a full blown S4, but my S3 Mini was the same, so I'm guessing the S4 Mini should be too...

[ZIP][FLASHABLE] Remove ItsOn Sprint OFE Based

This mod is working very well for me and I have had no network issues after removing ItsOn with this method but as always make a backup.
Portal post that talks about ItsOn
this will remove the itson data from:
ramdisk
/carrier/itson
/system/vendor/itson
/system/priv-app/ItsOn
flash in recovery like any other zip. ONLY FOR SPRINT SM-G920P running 5.1.1 OFE.
thanks to OMJ and captainthrowback from the m8 section for this mod and datajosh for his rooted OFE boot.img
What is ItsOn, and why did you remove it?
sam mobile has the 5.1.1 tar. So we do have it. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50545/G920PVPU2BOF7_G920PSPT2BOF7_SPR/
does this work on the edge?

Just looked thru it and yes you are correct.
haha yeah I was going in to do the FHA mod and saw it was already there, I was kinda baffled because I didnt do anything for it to be changed, and the OP didnt mention the change being integrated :good:
It would probably be a good idea to explain its purpose and why to remove it. I dont have a full explanation what I have heard is itson is a battery hog and is for non contract accounts such as boost and what not someone correct me if Im wrong thanks :thumbup:

thats what i gather about it its just something i picked up from the m8 it was pretty standard on m8 roms to have itson removed
okay cool man!!
Was kinda scared to flash this tbh. Cuz i was outta town. But basically its on will constantly turn on your wifi on and off and look for connections if you arent connected to wifi.

That's the Sprint connections optimizer, although ItsOn could include that.
I've scoured the internet and the only explanations I could find conflicted each other. Some claimed it killed their battery without explaining why, some said it was harmless, and one guy said it was just an app for no contact users to manage their plan. Unless I can figure out what this does in full detail, I'm hesitant to remove it from my phone.
Sent from my Tapatalk using SM-G920P
No. Its on turns wifi on and off also. Its in the permissions thing and i saw it turn my wifi on and off with connection optimizer removed. All it is is bloat. Sprint is the only carrier wirh the app.
Lot of guessing for what the purpose of itson is so heres the break down from what I have read it has no control over wifi or have anything to do with connection optimizer heres sprints press release so you guys know what it is...

So I tried this yesterday and got a boot loop because I was on OE firmware but i went ahead and flashed OE7 via ODIN and was able to recover without losing data.
Something I noticed though, theres a flashable .tar to keep ROOT enabled on another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/general/how-to-to-100-stock-root-t3075448
When I flashed that root file, then if I used the ItsON remover in twrp, it would cause my phone to get stuck at the yellow sprint spark screen.
I even did a a full 5 partition backup in twrp before flashing it, then after it got suck, doing a full restore would not fix the getting stuck at the screen.
I ended up having to reflash the full OE7 and root again in order to get my phone to work.
Not sure if thats related or not to what happened, but process of elimination tells me there may be something interfering with the root method on OE7 thats out.
Just beware if you are in my situation and have something similar happen... ( this is the first time in 5 years of modding android that a nandroid or twrp recovery didnt't reverse a boot problem) At least you know the phone isnt bricked. It may take a few tries to get it back into recovery since we cant battery pull, timing on restarting is of the essence.
I have not been able to get this zip to work at all for me.
The only other thing interfering possibly is i use titanium to freeze knox and some samsung apps.
I can confirm that for me at least it was the root of the problem for turning on wifi whenever it felt like it, being dealing with this problem since the beginning, everytime that I got the hotspot on it was trying to turn on wifi giving me a pop up every 5 minutes or so, and after flashing this zip the problem is finally gone.. thank you.

Will there be a version of this coming out for OFE? I would like to use this but I read that I will probably boot loop. I dont want that. So please let me know. My battery life after upgrading to OFE is better but not awesome.
