just got the Nexus not too long ago, got it rooted okay, was running franco kernel and the foxhound ROM....then things started to go wrong. At first, it was random FCs, then I couldnt text out, then lost my data, which I go that back...but now, it won't even recognize the SD card. When I try to boot it stays at the google screen with the padlock unlocked.
WTH can I do to fix this???? I have been reading all over the forums, but this has gone waaay beyond anything I know.
ALL info that I can remember for the phone:
Canadian Rogers GSM GTi-9250M
Baseband UGKK7
ROM at this point is unknown, but was trying to revert back to stock ROM
bootloader primekk15
unlocked with CWM touch
anything someone would need to help just ask, I will try to answer as best I can, I just want the damn thing working again, its my only phone
Can you get into the bootloader? If so, flash the stock yakju image from Google following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
If that works, see how you get on
okay, I managed to get back on, doing the stock recovery method Thanx Eddy...but now I'm back to the original problem of not being able to send texts. I got the number I'm supposed to input on the phone info screen when using *#*#4636*#*# method...but it always returns as an update error, and if I hit refresh first, all that shows is 00 instead of the +17057969300 for SMSC setting. I tried to update the kernel, no luck. Everything is working great aside from that...but seeing that I text family and friends all across the country, I kinda need this to be working. Any suggestions?
Get your operator to send the settings in a text message - I'm sure this method still works with the Nexus doesn't it?
ya I had called them up to troubleshoot the issue, thats how I got the number. But they are saying that there doesnt seem to be anything wrong at their end. I tried to add the smsc number in using an old acer liquid e I have, same issue, so I'm now wondering if my sim card itself is messed up?
The smsc number has to be in hexadecimal now.
Read this for more details and how to convert your number. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/SMSC_Updates

Tried that, brought it back to bone stock, 4.0.1 and let it update to 4.0.2
didn't work...as I asked before, could this be a sim card issue? or possibly something messed up on my internal SD, since now it only show me as having 13GB instead of 16...
*Update*: Turns out my sim card was pooched....replaced that and a factory reset and I'm up and running again....now if I can just get the foxHound ROM to work with my rain alarm...anyone know how to bring the maps back to the version that came with 4.0.2? cause that app won't work with any of the 4.0.2+ custom ROMS for some reason...and seeing that i paid for that and a few other apps that require it, be nice to have it, or is this something I should be asking the dev directly?
Does anyone know if we need to Unroot this phone before we can transfer a number on to it?
I bought the new HTC EVO LTE and I want to give this phone to my daughter who has a Samsung Moment (still). I will unroot if I have to but just wondered if anyone already knew or tried this.

Historically yes. On my Evo 4g and Hero they had to be running stock for sprint to change the number. Unsure on E4GT but better to take it in unrooted just to be "safe".
You'd probably be OK as long as its on something stock touchwiz even if its rooted.

No you don't need to unroot if you do it yourself. Make sure both phones are turned off and the "new" phone has had a factory reset done beforehand. You can do it yourself online on sprint's site if you log into your account. If you have problems, you can get online chat with customer service too. Don't tell them that anything is rooted and don't act like you know a thing or two about phones. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are on a mostly stock gb rom. This is in case they need to tell you to enter a code in the dialer screen to do a reset or change primary or secondary phone numbers or other misc things. No sweat.
Ok, here's the thing. I dropped my SGS2 into a drink. it was 99% covered. pulled the battery dried it off and it was buggy for 2 days but now every thing appears to be ok.
except it won't let me Factory reset/wipe data.
the option is there but when I select it, the phone just boots me out to the previous screen.
it does let me wipe the cache...
I even re-installed the Recovery and tried again.
side note: after the drink incident the yellow triangle went away on it's own.
Download an app called "Get My MSL", and write down the 6 digit code that app kicks out.
In the dialer enter ##786#, and this will take you to the reset screen. Hit menu, then reset, and enter in the MSL code they gave you. This will do the same as a data wipe / cache wipe, but will also clear your NVRAM, which is where your programming info is stored.
You can perform the device swap on your own on Sprint's website.
You will never need to unroot your phone.
No unroot needed like others have told you but you just need to be on a stock rom so that the ## codes will work when you are prompted to use them. Other than that you will be fine I have done it a million times online and never unrooted to swap esn

Everybody's on a custom rom in here...LOL
I was running Android Syndicate. I downloaded a stock ROM. and tried to transfer via the Sprint web site. Everything was fine until it told me I needed to pick a new phone plan.
I then opened a chat window and the associate transferred the number and add the the $10 fee to the account instead of picking a new plan.
my daughter is setting it up now and is very happy.
thank you all for your help and I hope this helps anyone else in this situation.
I now have an HTC EVO LTE so I will not be checking back in over here. Have fun!!!

Why mobile odin and then flashing el26cwm is simple and agat has made it pretty easy to get his nicely themed stock rom working on your phone. Hey do whats safe for you but I would say most are on custom roms in here especially with the loads of choices now out there for us.
"To each his own though"
I have a Galaxy Note 2 on the sprint network. Yesterday someone sent me a text and i tried to sent them a text back but my phone didn't have a signal. It reset itself a bunch of times. It stopped resetting and now there is no signal to the tower. I looked on my phone and Baseband version, network, mobile network type say unknown. service state is out of service, username is unavailable. mobile network state is disconnected, my phone number is unknown, min unknown, prl version unknown, meid unknown, imei unknown, iccid unknown. device status modified.
I rooted my phone when i first got it with the method that doesn't make your flash counter go up. I had super user installed and had the OTA survival mode checked and did the OTA update for multiwindow and then lost root. This wasn't a big deal to me so I just left it alone, everything worked. Its been a couple of months and then this happened. I reflashed a stock rom on the phone and that didn't fix anything. I rooted it with the Samsung Note 2 toolkit and that went well. But it somehow got stuck on the boot screen again after a while so i just reflashed to stock.
I downloaded QPST and entered my IMEI into the nv line 550 and clicked the write NV block and returned an error. Im stuck. I have insurance and I've only had the phone a couple of months. What the heck happened? Was it somekind of wipe? I have been working on this all day and I'm going to bed now, but can someone help me out?
I would not have been so quick to start messing with qpst.In most cases where ive seen this the imei and related numbers were fine and it was a system screw up. That said,This happened to me recently and even odin wouldnt fix it. I ran THIS and it brought me back so I would try that first.

thanks. I am downloading that now and will try it and let you know. I didn't want to start messing with qpst but i saw a tutorial that you can enter your imei back into your phone with it. i got my numbers off the box and went to work. but qpst would not write the values into my phone.
when i plug the usb into the phone a flag pops up in windows and says hardware id is missing as well.

i went to the link. i downloaded the file. it was a zip file so i put it on an sdcard and slapped it in my phone. i used the vol up, home key, and pwr key and then i used the update from zip file on external storage. it did some stuff and rebooted. i checked my flash counter and it went up and said i was running custom, custom.
i didn't see any instructions with your post that you linked and I probably didn't use that file the way it was supposed to be used. how exactly do you use it? and when i turned my phone on it still said baseband unknown.
thanks again for helping me with this.

Do you have Root Explorer? If baseband is showing unknown makes me wonder if build.prop is there and complete...?
It needed flashed in a custom recovery. Did u use twrp or cwm to flash it? If so, you did it right. Is it only the baseband thats unknown or everything still? Did you try a ##72786# dialer code reset?

I don't have root explorer on here right now because I was trying to return the phone back to stock for a return to the sprint store.
I used the stock rom that you download from the samsung note 2 tool kit. how do i check what your talking about?

everything is still unknown.
when i dial ##72786# it goes to a meny labeled SCRTN but is blank with no options.
at this point I used triangle away and flashed the stock rom on my phone, it keeps randomly resetting. in the setttings it still has baseband unknown. i did the ota update and the build number is JROO3C.L900VPALJC
under status, everything is unknown and at the botton it says device modified.
when i put it into download mode right now it says custum binary: no ; current binary: samsung official; system status: custom
this started when the phone just started resetting a bunch after my buddy texted me and then it didn't have service and all the values were wiped, i just want to take it back to sprint because ive only had it for a couple of months. will the above values be ok for a trip to the sprint store?

i think i have a corrupted EFS. can anyone help?
I had this happen to me when I first got the phone and rooted. Scariest first day of ownership thought I was going to have to go in to sprint. Thankfully I flashed the full stock tar and my phone came back to life. Maybe you should try flashing it and see how it turns out for you.

as it is, does the spring store take your phone back if system status is custom and device says modified?
b.) if i can fix it, it would be better than taking it back. everything on the phone still works, but it obviously cant see a cell phone tower or make calls. data on wifi only type deal.
thanks for any help...

I'm not familiar with that EFS issue since I've never read about it. However I would try that tar I posted as a last resort since the stock zip didn't do anything for you. The issue you're describing is the exact same thing that happened to me and that tar brought me back. And about being custom/modified it all depends on the Sprint Rep you get. Some are cool about it some are not.

Update-
my phone is screwed. i got the MSL and put it in my phone and nothing happens. i have to take it back and get a new one.even though all the hardware works, just cant program the info back in the phone for meid, baseband, username, icc id, etc. etc. so no voice calls.
the bummer is that this all happened randomly. i wasn't messing with my phone at all and it was running great then it reset a bunch of times and then wiped everything. i don't know if it would have helped, but i highly reccomend everyone backing up their EFS. because you never know when this will happen to you.
take care, thanks for the help everyone.
Yes I am an idiot (point and laugh now) I did something wrong, but have no idea exactly what yet. I searched and couldn't find anything for this version of the Note 2
About 3 weeks ago I updated to the newest version of Whomp, as soon as I did that I would get the hands free activation alert on my phone every time it booted up. It would always error out for code 1500, which is an internal error according to sprint. I was able to still use the phone so I didn't worry about it to much.
Last week the phone stopped switching towers during a phone call. It would drop the call and pick back up at the next tower milliseconds later with full bars. Called Sprint and was advised I needed to update my PRL and Profile, etc. Which couldn't be done because my phone was showing that it wasn't fully activated.
So my plan of attack was to unroot the phone, update everything, then get my root back. Simple enough.
Trying to go back to Stock really broke the phone!
I was trying to flash the stock ROM through Odin last night and it kept erroring out. Now when I try to turn it on or when I try to boot into recovery I get
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can boot into download mode, so I think it's soft bricked. There has to be some way to fix this... I *might* have impulsed purchased a used Note 2 on ebay last night and the person *might* be overnighting it to me since I seemed pitiful enough. So I have time to get this one working correctly.
I'm just out of ideas... I know when I hard bricked the GS3 (That took a special level of stupid) I mailed it to some place in TX. Is that my only option here? Help please! Also I know just enough to be massively dangerous so use little words please... LOL

i may be wrong, but it seems that for whatever reason you are back to stock recovery, but the rest of it went bad... i would follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 there is a flashable TWRP ODIN tar, so boot into that, flash his MC2 ZIP and you should be good. similar thing happened to me, but i would just at endless bootloop, flashed that MC2 zip and im back to stock. Best of luck
Ha! That's the thread I was searching for. I found the one made for the GS3, but couldn't locate the Note 2 one. Thanks so much! I'll fiddle around with that tonight after work
It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
So now I'm unrooted and back in the stock ROM. I'm going to update my profile/prl/system/firmware then root later on tonight and probably flash the Jelly Bomb ROM
Thanks you for your help! Phone is no longer soft bricked and is activated onto the Sprint account again.

Done! Thanks for the tip
Ok so background... I used to alway be android... rooted the works.. used to be really into it... then I got pissed one day at my android after it restarted taking what would have been like a nobel peace prize winning picture from inside a blackhawk... Literally... I almost threw this thing out of the doors from 3000 feet.... so next day i went to iphone. Fast forward 3 or so years...
I got pissed at iphone for sucking and releasing crapy phones without working bugs out. so I decided this time i was going back to android for good....
Two months ago i bought the Samsung Note 4 from sprint through their cut your rate in half plan... ($39/mo for unlimited everything... how could i go wrong?!)...
Took her home and started googling how I was gonna root her and get native hotspot for free.. cuz who pays for that ****... Learned what i needed to know (really refreshed my memory as i have done this in the past...) Flashed myself a new ROM and all was good in the world. Rooted and had my native hotspot.
Well, went to go use private mode and it didn't work. Back to the drawing boards... read a few things read the fine print and the ROM I was using didn't support it. No big deal, just gonna look for one that does... Found one that supports and read the page... well, I decided to do this after working all day and i was sick of being on the computer i just wanted to get it done, clicked the link downloaded the ROM I needed and loaded it.... as soon as it said done I realized... I messed up... I thought i had clicked sm-n910P... I clicked n915p..... quick search shows thats a note edge... so i download the correct one and flash that hoping I didn't **** anything up... WRONG.
Heres the problem.
My touch screen works FLAWLESSLY using the s-pen. perfect response, accuracy.. the works. When i use my finger, it responds.. sort of. The top left of my phone is spot on. as you move down and right, the cursor actually moves FASTER than my finger. So by the time I am 3/4 of the way down and to the right of the screen the cursor is actually already in the bottom right hand corner. Making texting or anything IMPOSSIBLE... now, I'm not a CIS major by ANY means and I avoid technical terms sometimes because I don't FULLY understand what some of it is. That being said, I am a tech savvy person in general, just not so much in the software dept. I'm more of a hardware person...
Question:
Did I mess up the phones HARDWARE.. Like would the digitizer be toasted? i figure that is a one way device so i don't see how that could be the case.. just throwing it out there... or did I fry something else? Anyone have FULLY stock EVERYTHING that i can flash onto this thing... (ROM, Kernel...) I found a stock ROM online to load but it isnt the same one and it didn't fix my problem. No i don't have a back up and yes i know shame on me...
Deets:
SM-N910P
Software Version: n910PVPU1BOB7 - last ROM i loaded hoping to fix the problem....
Hardware Version: N910P.05
Andriod: 5.0.1
Kernel Version: 3.10.40-4243283
[email protected] #1
Build Number: LRX22C.N910PVPU1BOB7
Knox is already tripped so IDC about that...
My recovery manager is back to stock. Tried CWM and i'm not sure if that is what screwed me... i did that and my ROM all at the same time i guess... help?
MOD EDIT POST AND TITLE
Use twrp 2.85 for recovery. It's better for me. Read up on how to Odin the stock tar. Should fix it up. Be sure to do a full wipe of everything not on your xternal SD before odining.

I followed the little instructions from the .tar
if by "wipe everything" you mean clearing the cache and doing a factory reset yes.
My advise would be to back up everything with titanium backup to your external card, and start from scratch. If you are on 4.4 right now, download a program called SPCUtility to get your msl number. Load a stock tar, either nk2 if you want 4.4 or bob7 if you want lollipop (my recommendation). Once you load the stock tar with odin, reset the who device by going into your dialer and dial ##786#. It will ask for your msl number and ask if you want to reset. Say yes, and you should be good to go. At this point, when you phone restarts, get to the home screen and see if everything is working. If it is not, take the phone to sprint and let them fix it or replace it. If everything is working, you can root the device, and if you want to load a new rom, you can.

There is literally nothing on the phone right now. i don't care if anything is backed up... the phone was bascially stock to begin with and i have my contacts and everything saved through kies. im on 5.0 i guess technically... can i still get my MSL?
I would have to Root my phone again, load the SPCUtility, get my MSL flash the stock .tar (any idea where i can get a better one? the one i have isn't the stock i knew)... then follow the rest of this?
BTW thank you SO much for helping me out. I appreciate it. A LOT.

The only way to get the msl number is to call sprint but if you just got the phone they probably won't give it to you. So the other option is to flash this stock tar to go back to 4.4. Here is the tar file for nk2 and bob7.

Go back to nk2, root and intall SPCutility and get your msl. Then flash bob7, and then use the msl number and ##768# and reset the device.
