Good evening ladies and gents! Not new to the flashing game. I've owned quite a few Android phones including the Note 1.
My question is this. When I owned the International Note 1, there was a emmc brick bug. It appeared whenever someone wipe erase / factory reset using cwm. It also happened at random. What would happen is there was a bug when that process was executed and it would ruin the partitions on the phone.
Currently, I've owned the Note 2 for one hour. I already have it rooted, and cwm. Nandroid already completed. CleanRom is downloaded and ready to go.
Is there the same bug here? Or am I safe to wipe/factory reset?
Thanks everyone!!

Does anyone have experience in using this? I bought it but it does not work. 1st it forecloses immediately if I try and back up my current kernel. I have also auto-flashed every kernel in there and they say successful but are not. I reboot and same OLD kernel. I am not sure what I am missing but very frustrated with this app.

Do you have root?

That's your problem. Efrant has a good root guide, link is in his signature.

He has done two or three updates in the last couple days to address those issues. You should at least read his kernel thread, even if you are new and cannot post there yet. Read the last three or four pages.

Hi just got my new at&t galaxy note 2 three days ago on 2nd day I rooted it and restore all my apps via tibu this phone is blazing fast, do u still recommend flashing a new rom on this beast? I came from Samsung Infuse 4g and been using cm10 but some features are not working properly like video camera. If I flashed a rom on my note 2 i wanted everything working so is it worth flashing new rom? And lastly I also uninstalled all at&t boatloaders.

I did the same. Stock rooted to restore apps. I am now on Clean Rom. Great battery life with a stock feel and look.
Give it a try you can always go back to stock.

Jedi ROM, no question! Super fast. Hate in stock ROM or any other ROM other then Jedi, when u press the home button, action is not instant. Same with swiping pages. With Jedi, its instantly. Well, everybody has their favorite ROM. U need to try and see which one is best for u. But check Jedi ROM. U might not flash any other.

I should have posted this somewhere else. Sorry :/
Instead of rooting. If u were in just stopping the bloat ware, You should have disabled the bloatware within the application manager. Click an application within the application manager and choose "disable". That application would be disabled and hidden from your apps drawer. Hope this helps a bit.

I saw this thread in the Epic and Rezound forums and related to most of them so I thought I would bring the fun over here... so just post and complete this sentence "You know you're rooted when.."
Examples:
masaidjet: You know you're rooted when you tell a neighborhood hoe to " wipe her cache "
wscott9903: You know you're rooted when 1/2 of your apps require superuser permission.
feralicious: You know you're rooted when your spouse tells you they're leaving you and taking the kids and you think "perfect timing, (insert dev name here) just released a new ICS ROM".
jayochs: you know you're rooted when your phones buggy as hell lol
putney1477: You know you're rooted when, you husband, wife, significant other gets a new phone and says, don't you dare come near this phone, it works fine!
jackpot08: You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone"

Au Contraire, You likely only have 4.2 if you're rooted. If you're rooted and don't have 4.2 you are a noob.
Members we have an Off Topic thread>>>>HERE
Hello everyone. My wife has a newly purchased S4 from Tmobile. We rooted it right away and installed TWRP. Everything else is stock. Even kept the bloatware hanging around... She has had some random reboots from time to time not often but like 3-4 times since she has had the phone. Google searches turn up random bits of info so I thought I'd ask the experts here at good olé XDA. I've seen some advice to factory reset but wouldn't that lose root? Also some say it could be SD card related.. There is no common theme to it happening.. I guess we could return it. I was hoping to avoid that though... Any thoughts? Thanks for any help!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will lose root but it's better than the phone rebooting itself alot so if it still does it then try to flash a rom and if it still does it it might be the phone then
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Factory reset won't actually loose root. Root stuff is stored in the system while factory resetting wipes the user's data. Factory reset through TWRP would be my first recommendation

Simply rooting does not. Touching system stuff can so yeah simply rooting wouldn't cause that.

What did she recently install? if anything. Some apps will cause random reboots. And the answers here are correct, you will not lose root doing a factory reset.

Well thanks we may try that. She hasn't installed anything new really. She's not the techie I'm more likely to have RR than her.. Lol. We just rooted used TB to restore basic apps like Go Launcher and such. No system restored apps at all. We may try factory reset and then if that doesn't work we may return it...

If I was you I would Odin back to stock.
Then gaining root again is only a tiny problem.
CF-Auto Root literally takes about 25 seconds to root.
Refer to this thread to odin back to stock.

You're probably getting reboots because of the method you used to root.
I was getting tons of problems with my phone because the way I previously rooted the device.
I used this way and I get absolutely no more problems.
Now, after you root with the above method, you will have to install a custom recovery (I recommend TWRP).
Do that through goomanager.
(Search goomanager in app store, install, open, hit menu, then hit "install custom recovery.)
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. She appears to be on an MDL baseband. Would it work with that? I forget exactly which thread I used to root it.. I used Odin and some zip files with TWRP and it seems like we had to do something with the bootloader... This was a few weeks ago.
And a follow up question. How would the rooting method effect the stability of the device, Causing RR added such?

Ah yes the TWRP root method.
That's the faulty method that is causing problems.
Once you odin to stock by following the steps in the thread above, everything will be taken off the phone, it will absolutely work with that baseband, yes.
Use the CF Autoroot method in the video I posted above and follow the steps i explained about goomanager.
You will love being rooted with TWRP from goomanager. You will then be able to flash custom roms which will make the phone a lot speedier and more responsive. In most cases, better battery life also.

No, it is NOT necessary to install TWRP, you can have the rooted device with the stock recovery on it with no problems .
