Blue gs3, rooted, stock ROM, I think...
New phone & I've never delt with a rooted phone. I'm so lost, how do I find what ROM I'm running?
Here are my 2 main problems
When I try to go to more settings under wireless & networks I get message
Com.android.phone has stopped working
The phone isn't recognized by my pc.
I believe it's the ROM and/or an MTP issue. (I've tried KIES, GS3 toolbox, & neither with just the drivers installed)
Would a older ROM that uses UMS fix this?
I need simple solutions if possible.Would it be sound to try to unroot & go back to stock?

Also, it may be relevant to note that when I got the phone, I took it to Sprint to swap #'s. They had to factory reset it to get the Wi-Fi and/or 3G radio's to work...

I would say basic steps.
1. Boot to Recovery
2. Wipe Dalvic Cache
3. Wipe all Data, System
4. Reflash your 'stock' rom
This process you will lose all programs/data on the phone.

First off, in your settings: About Phone, you'll be able to see what ROM (version, baseband, kernel, etc.) you're running.
Second, do you have a custom recovery installed? The easiest way to find out is to turn your phone off and boot into recovery (hold the buttons for Volume Up, Home, and Power until the phone powers up). The two custom Recoveries available are CWM and TWRP. If you have either of those, this might be the best way to fix your issues is to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot and see if these issues are resolved.
Now, if you want to mess around with anything else in recoveries, it's best to make a nandroid backup of your current setup. It's easy to do with either recovery (look for "backup" menus).
If the above doesn't work, you can try to clear (or wipe) data. This will wipe your accounts, settings, apps, etc. but will leave you with a "stock" ROM. While it would be a pain to re-setup the phone as you like it, it's better than a full wipe.
If none of the above works, the final step would be to flash the Stock Rooted ROM by Freeza. If you download it on your computer, you won't be able to copy it over to your phone (because of the issues you stated in OP). But, you should stil be able to connect through your recovery. Since I use TWRP, I'll walk you through the menu's for that (CWM should be similar).
Connect USB cable to computer -> Mount Menu -> Mount USB Storage.
Now your computer should see a "removable disk" with the contents of your SD Card on it. Now you can copy the ROM you downloaded over to the SD Card.
Now that the file is actually on the phone, you can flash the ROM zip in recovery. Whenever you do this, it's best to do what is called a "full wipe" in the recovery. You'll lose all your apps, settings, etc but it's relatively easy to get it back (through Google Play, accounts, etc). In TWRP, what I always do is the following:
1) Nandroid backup: I normally name it something along the lines of "2013-03-14 - ROM NAME - ROM VERSION." This way, when I look through my backups, I can easily see what I was running (what I'm restoring when I want to restore).
2) Wipe Menu - Factory Reset. This will wipe all custom data off of the phone. For me, this is a must before flashing any new ROM. Other people will "dirty flash" Roms on top of each other. For me, that's a recipe for disaster, as any leftover settings/code will inevitably interfere with the new ROM and will mess things up.
3) Wipe Menu - Dalvik Cache and Cache: If I recall correctly, the Factory Reset does both of these, but it doesn't hurt to do it again.
4) Install: This is where you find the ROM zip file you downloaded and install it. Should take less than a minute, but some larger ROMs could take a little longer (not 10 minutes, though).
3) Wipe Menu - Dalvik Cache and Cache: Again, not technically required, but I tend to wipe the cache and dalvik cache very often.
3) Reboot Menu - System: Pretty self-explanatory, but it'll reboot your phone and you can set it up all over again.
Let me know which one works.
I wiped the dalvik cache, that fixed the com.android.phone error in the wireless settings menu!
Did a complete wipe and flashed the stock rom by frezza,
Wiped again and am now running darthstalker x,
Still no change to the USB connectivity problem with either ROM
Damn MTP looks like there is no work around.
Maybe Wi-Fi data transfer is my only option.
This is my first non stock ROM, and the only problem I'm having so far is that it won't charge after being powered off. Not too bad I guess!

Cabling matters. I have two USB cables. One works, one doesn't. (The one that works is the thicker one... more shielding?)
Also, as you totally sure that you have the right drivers installed?
Here's a list of troubleshooting tips even though you've tried some
1. try different usb ports
2. Uninstall and reinstall drivers
3. Try different usb cords
4. You can also download mobile Odin and flash things that way. It's the same thing as doing it on a computer just on your phone.

I haven't tried different cables only the one that came with the phone. And if i can't connect the phone to the computer Odin won't help. But I'll try to connect I'm download mode. And I'll try different cables. Will let you know. Ever everybody that's posted, thanks for the all the ideas!

when ever flashing always use a thick heavy duty cable I recommend BB cables
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Ca...d=1364055777&sr=8-1&keywords=blackberry+cable
The best cables i have found for our phones are actually made by logitech. I found them because i used to setup their harmony remotes for BBY. the nicer remotes use Microusb and the cable that they include with it is INCREDIBLE. It is night and tight, and very well made. this is all i could find online. but it is this exact cable.

I have some major issues!!!!
I have tried everything that I can think of and I still have problems!!! I have flashed several different radios, Different Kernals, Different ROMS ASOP and Stock and I don't know why my phone keeps restarting randomly! Sometimes it will go for an hour and sometimes it will go for 30 seconds but it keeps restarting itself. Currently I am running CM7 with the new GB Radio leak. Still happeneing please can someone help ease my frustration with this god forsaken phone! Thanks for any Suggestions!
Just a thought, are you undervolting your kernel at all? If undervolted too much mine has constant reboots.
All I can think of, but by no means am I an expert.
Are you wiping all partitions before flashing?
Full Wipe:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
Go into Mounts and Storage
3. Wipe System
4. Wipe Data
5. Wipe Cache
Go into Advanced
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. Wipe Battery Stats
8. Install zip (ROM)
9. Power off/on, the boot back into recovery
10. Install zip (GApps)
11. Power off/on
*These are not my instructions. Saved them in evernote but I can't remember what thread it was from.
SD?
Had this same thing happen w/ a friend's DInc.
Copied all SD files to PC, removed and reformatted SD to FAT32, copied files back to SD, remounted, problem went away.
It was a guess on my part, and worked for her, idk if that was the issue, but the reboots stopped.
does it do it when you just install a rom with the stock kernal it comes with? Try running just 1 thing for a while to see what is causing it.
Or it may be a hardware issue.....you can search these threads for 'random reboots' and see that you may just need a new phone. I had the random reboots issue which originally lead me to rooting......which still didn't help. My problem started when I let the phone get way too hot on a car charger, does it seem heat related? Just a thought, would seem more likely than a kernel issue as every time you flash a new ROM you get a different kernel....
I had the same issue and had to get a replacement. Just make sure you put everything back to stock before you take it in. There is a great thread in develompement that will walk you through it. You may want to even try going back to stock anyway and see if the problem persists.
I can run stock everything and I still get the same problem I'm going to try and format my sd card and see if that works.....i don't know what else to do. And yes i have wiped everything before installing new ROM...

I thought it was $50? and I also thought they ran out of Incs?
What I meant by back to stock is unroot, s-on, ect... You mentioned that you have tried different roms so I am assuming you are still rooted.
They are not out of incs, but if they were you would get an upgrade anyway.

Hey guys, I'm really new to rooting, flashing roms, and Android in general (I've used iOS since 2007 until a month ago... please have mercy on my soul). I have an AT&T GN2 that I would like to remove the bloatware from, hence why I began investigating rooting, but it's snowballed into my desire to try out some of the amazing ROMs that the developers here have produced. Since the Note 2 uses the Exynos 4, I rooted using the ExynosAbuse exploit and downloaded Titanium Backup to freeze the AT&T apps. So far, so good.
However, I am wanting to get into how to flash custom ROMs, like CyanogenMod, so I downloaded the CWM RomManager and flashed the CWM Recovery. I downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1 release for the i317 model (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495) and the latest gApps package (for 4.2.1), and flashed both from CWM RomManager. When it rebooted, it showed the CyanogenMod boot screen, but it appears to be stuck there. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and am hoping I didn't brick my phone. Is there anything I can do at this point?
Use the three button combo to get into recovery, should be volume up, home, and power, and then wipe data or install a stock rooted ROM. That should help get you to a bootable stage.

When I booted into recovery, I got the CWM recovery (which is a good thing, I suppose). I wiped the cache, and then installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip. However, I think I still need to wipe data/factory reset, right?
So, at this point, I've:
1. Rooted the device using Chainfire's ExynosAbuse apk (super easy).
2. Installed RootChecker (success) and TI backup (froze bloatware apps).
3. Downloaded CWM RomManager.
4. Flashed CWM Recovery.
5. Downloaded CM 10.1 port for i317 (the AT&T GN2 model) and the 4.2.1 gApps zips.
6. Chose to install ROM from SD card in RomManager, added both CM 10.1 and gApps, and only selected install (did not wipe cache or user data at this point).
7. Received blue CyanogenMod boot screen... excited... but it remains on the boot screen. Sad face.
8. Removed battery to power the device off, placed battery back in, and then booted into recovery mode (CWM recovery).
9. Installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip from SD, then wiped cache.
10. ???
Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache/dalvik. Flash cm, flash gapps. Reboot

So what ROM are you using? I just picked cyanogenmod because I've heard of it before, but I would like something that works. Is there a way to add another ROM onto the phone's storage, as I don't have an SD card... And since I can't type anything, it's not like I can download it from the phone's browser?

Plug it into your computer and see if you can mount your internal sd. If you can download a new rom to your computer and transfer it to sd. Did you make a backup before flashing?
Im just running stock rooted for now.

Well, I'm downloading CleanROM right now. I also downloaded another cm 10.1 file just in case, perhaps it's because I downloaded it on the mobile Chrome browser that I'm having problems? I also downloaded a kernel from the thread to help with performance. However, if I can't get these on the phone, it doesn't matter. Since I'm on a Mac, I have to use Android File Transfer, and it isn't registering my phone, unfortunately. I may have to go out and buy a cheap SD card and throw the files on there. It may not hurt to have one around, anyways.
Text yourself the download link to CleanRom. :thumbup:
And chrome shouldnt have made a difference. I take it you didnt make a nandroid backup before you flashed cm?

No... I thought that a backup of the original ROM was made when flashing CWM recovery, but I am a noob and that did not happen. Unfortunately, the browser doesn't even work! So I cannot text myself the link for the download. I should be able to flash a zip file from a micro sdhc, right?
Flash the right GAPPS, the crashing keyboard is a symptom of incorrect GAPPS. The December one is for 4.2.1 only, which is what CM10.1 is based on. Make sure you flash the right GAPPS with the right CM version.

The CM you linked in the OP is CM10 not 10.1, so you flashed the wrong GAPPs

Oh... crap. Is there any way I can get the correct gApps on my phone? Ugh... I'm going to have access to a Windows machine today, so I can download the correct GAPPS and put them on my flash drive. I can still put it in USB debugging mode, but will the PC recognize it? Android File Transfer software for Mac does not recognize the phone any more, so I'm a bit limited in what I can do. Unless, like I said before, I can just pop in an SD card with the correct file.
Just grab goo manager from the market and dl the correct gapps to your phone. Either that or use your phones browser. No need for a pc. Boot in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash correct gapps. Should be gtg.
Edit: just saw your browser isn't working. Goo manager's your best bet. Could always try another browser from the market as well. Good luck.

Does your computer recognize the phone? You have recovery, which 1? if you can see your internal memory and external sd, you should be able to copy ROM and flash. after wiping completely. of course.

Wipe dalvik cache: Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache

Reflash rom (you really shouldn't be messing with stuff if you dont know how to reflash your rom):
Boot into recovery and go to Install > Navigate to folder where your rom is stored > Select it > Confirm / Hit yes / Hit install and slide the bar (TWRP only)
Wait for it to finish, then reboot
It's all in recovery. And just some advice, you shouldn't do anything to your phone unless you know how to fix it. I use twrp recovery and all wipe options are in the wipe menu.

problem is that there is no Advance option. I think my phone goes into its normal Recovery mode. i think the root that it had doesnt work anymore.
The root can not change because you messed with permission, also you should be able to go into your custom recovery, which one do you have? Do you know how to 3 finger into recovery? If you can get into recovery first thing I would do is wipe dalvik, wipe cache and fix permissions and see if it boots. If not then what everyone else said flash a Rom.
Are you sure that is all you did?

Yeah I think he means that he has stock recovery...
If you can get into download mode, just flash a stock rom and start from scratch. Or you can ODIN a custom recovery and then make a backup so that at least your data is safe

Volume down power and home gets you into download like you are now., you want volume up, power and home to get into custom recovery. If you rooted your device properly you should have CWM or TWRP installed as one of the two available custom recoveries.

Ok i installed odin3 1.85 and got a CF autoroot.tar file (idk if i can post full file name)
Odin detected my phone perfectly, applied the .tar file using PDA i just waited how it told me i never touched the boxes on the left unless it told me to.
Then my phone went black and some letters came just like a normal successful root.
My phone rebooted and went home rooted.
it worked perfectly i was satisfied until today i accidentally moved those permissions dealing with r/w r/o Rw-r-r on the folder /system.
Ok to clear thing up you rooted your phone for the first time so you were on stock rom and never applied a custom recovery . Correct?

i was getting sick of the 0 folder taking up space so i wanted to do a full wipe. i thought there was a way to wipe all data back to factory settings. i ended up wiping everything including the zips i had to install. the custom recovery still boots and i can get into fastboot/odin. the problem is the usb port is messed up and won't connect. i'm assuming i'm screwed and need to fix the usb port to do anything. i'm hoping there is somethign i don't know about that one of you does. thanks.

So you can't just push the files using ADB?
What do you mean by USB is messed up?
Simplest thing would be either ADB. If you don't have drivers, install the WugFresh toolkit on your pc and flash a factory image!
Can u boot to the os? If so just download the files u wanted to flash with the phones browser.

He has no OS installed. No USB port, no working system, you might be screwed here, OP. Best option IMO right now, if you're still under warranty, use it; if not, better get moving and replace that USB port.

i'm fairly sure no one cares, but i usually hate when ops don't follow up in their own threads.
so yes the usb port is funky there was some water damage. it does not charge and does not show up on the pc.
however, i got very lucky and for some reason the pc would recognize it in fastboot mode so i was able to install new recovery and custom rom.
When I connect my friends Note II into a Laptop, I get nothing on both the PC side and the phone side.
The phone only charges and does nothing else. In settings->About, it says that the phone is charging via USB.
I dont get anything on the Notification Center like I am supposed to.
I've tried changing USB cables, didnt work.
USB OTG Cables work fine though.
The phone has been Reset twice already. First when my friend started complaining that the phone didnt charge, and second because of the USB connection problem.
It is rooted and runs 4.1.2 Stock.
I've tried Easy UMS, and it didnt work.
Is this a hardware issue?
I am assuming you already got the pc note2 drivers installed.
Try backing up the rom then wipe the phone and flash a custom rom.

GO to recovery menu and do a nandroid backup then wipe/data factory reset and then will wipe cache partition, go to advanced and clear battery stats and clear dalvik cache. Don't restore just restart the phone and try to install to install drivers. If doesn't help do a google research.
