[Q] Update Bricked n7100 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday plugged in Note 2 on laptop and Kies requested an update (16th of feb)....so I told kies to go ahead...
YAY...update for my phone...waited...rebooted...
and now...
- lag city..i mean slow
- turns on screen and refuses to go sleep when idle 30 seconds passes.
- after a couple of fights with itself to turn off screen it finally shuts down...and refuses to power up
- holding 10 seconds power button finally resolves this and it turns back on.
- windows detects my phone as 7 cdc devices and I don't have the drivers for it!
- phone freezes completely even when phone is off and recharging (With that battery icon)
so...this being seen...I got back my original rom and flashed it back to good old 4.1.1.... but...no problems are solved ever since I did the 4.1.2 update.
phone works but problematic.
anyone having this issue?
or seen this?

Please download this app and tell me what it says.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check
If it says "NOTE II SUDDEN DEATH? - Yes insane chip" go back to 4.1.2 as fast as you can.
If it's a SANE chip, ignore the above statement. Have you tried factory resetting the phone after the update? It could help with the lagginess, as it could be some stray app with some corrupted data clogging up the system resources. Hard to pinpoint why or what but a factory reset should fix it if it's app related.

next time check the md5 if there is one, just sounds like you had a bad download/flash. glad you got your problem sorted and hopefully this helps someone else. A good md5 check is never a bad idea, n'or is having a jig handy to get into dl mode.

[Q] Restore back to stock

I played around with a few Roms and decided I wanted to go back to stock and unroot.
I've downloaded and installed the rogers stock rom, reset the counter with triangle away, but I'm still getting a "device has been modified" error when checking for updates.
I've read countless threads but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do, I wasn't able to find a guide with the proper files for my phone/carrier
Galaxy S3 SGH-i747M Rogers
Anyone know of a guide or feel like helping a noob out, I just want it back the way it was when I got it?
I also have a rogers phone every time I go back to stock I install triangle away reset then Odin flash stock rogers lh1 when it resets will get stuck on Samsung screen enter recovery wipe factory data and cache reboot then do an ota upgrade

Flashing won't brick device once you have flashed any rom made for your device.
BTW what error you are getting while updating with ota?

How can I flash? Do I need root? If I flash 4.1.2 then after a while make a factory reset, does it reset to 4.1.2 or 4.1.1?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
If you want to flash full rom, no factory reset needs. Just download rom for your region (not compulsory from your region, you can flash any) flash rom using odin. You don't need to have root.
After flashing rarely your device gets stuck at samsung logo, in such case you have to reboot to recovery and have to factory reset. Once you have updated to 4.1.2 it will remain 4.1.2 even after factory reset.

[Q] Not sure what's going on, stuck on splash screen. Please Help!

Alright, hey guys. I'm experiencing something i've never experienced before. My phone is stuck at the splash screen, in my case the Ktoosez KT747 splash screen. I have no idea what caused this, but i suspect it's an app. I've tried going into CWM and factory/data reset but my phone just reboots itself after being stuck on formatting /data. I(was) running Illusion v2.1(the latest) i think, and KT747 with TKMod installed. Here's where i start panicking, i tried to restore a backup i made about a week ago, but the also rebooted my phone. I was able to reflash Illusion v2.1 & 130301 GApps, but my phone still hangs at the splash screen, this time being the Illusion 4.2.2 splash screen. So i suspect it has something to do with my apps maybe, since i can't factory reset, i can't seem to get rid of this problem. Any help is appreciated, and if you need more info, i will gladly oblige! I really need this device to work.

Youll have to factory reset after the flash so back up anything you need.

Ah, I really hope this works.. Just finished downloading, do i extract the root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.md5 file and ODIN that one? Or do i use the originally downloaded .zip file? Thanks
Alright ODIN finished and it says PASSED. But my phone is hanging at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" stock splash screen. :/
Now factory reset in stock recovery. This will wipe interal sd, so if thats a problem you can try cwm or twrp again if you want.

As the fellow members said this is usual. That red message shows the eMMC firmware version. Nothing great. And using a PIT file never changes that. A pit file is Partition Identification Table in which a code is written directing the Odin to flash files to different directories. Never use a pit file unless or until necessary. Flashing with a pit file may not be a walk in the park all time. Pit should be used only if Odin says There is no PIT partition. So never advice anyone in that way to use PIT.
