[Q] Stock ROM over Stock flashing issue - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day,
I'm wondering if anyone has gone through this; it goes like this, last night I flashed my n7100 Note 2 with a stock rom 4.1.2 XEF (France)(the same exact rom I used to flash my phone with for 10ths of times) nothing went wrong as Odin completed the processes successfully (apparently) rebooting the phone to finalize the installation, however it booted into the previously installed system, including all of the apps I installed earlier, in other words nothing's changed at all, I hope I'm making sense, I tried two different computers ending with the same result, how come it worked like charm before and now it does not? Thanks again for any advice.

[Q] Super Stumped

OK so i rooted my phone along time ago and it been running smoothly. I've used different roms that worked fine no issue well i recently tried a new rom it ran smoothly for about 2 weeks, then i tried rebooting it and it got stuck on the Samsung galaxy s III. i reloaded the rom it worked until i rebooted then it got stuck on the same screen again. Well 8 reloads and 3 roms later its still doing the same smh any suggestions if so it will be greatly appreciated.thanks
Do you have your phone under volted? Or have apps set to not boot at start up
I'd just Odin back to stock MD4, if you didn't take the 4.3 OTA, MK3 if you did. then start from square 1.
sounds like perhaps something has become corrupted.

[Q] Question RE Random Reboots and Freezing on stock 4.4.2

I have read around regarding this problem without luck, and hope that someone can advise if I have missed anything.
I used to use this phone and as I liked to tweak it was running a custom rom (think it was Wanams). Anyway I got an upgrade ages ago, and my wife carried on using the phone for a while. As she just needs a standard rom I recently decided to factory reset and use Odin to flash the newest stock rom (N7100XXUFNE1 - UK). This is when the problems started. Initially the Wifi wouldn't come on, but after factory resetting and using the Samsung Updater in Kies I finally managed to get Wifi back. Then, while setting it up and installing apps from the Play store it started freezing and had to be rebooted every 5 or 10 mins. Finally after doing this a couple of times, all the apps were installed and after leaving it to "settle" it seemed to be better. Now however, 2 or 3 times a day, when playing games or using other apps, it will just reboot.
What I have tried is:
* I have tried clearing cache through the stock recovery
* Tried a number of Factory Resets
* After reading about the SDS problem I have tried running the "dummy file generator" to fill the internal memory and this completes ok. I guess this means that although I have memory that is/was susceptible I applied the original SDS fix early enough with the custom rom that all the memory is still ok?
As I have the newest bootloader I can't downgrade that, but as I don't care about triggering Knox I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom to see if any of the other Kernels help?
Has anyone got any idea's what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.

[Q] Trying to flash back to Stock rom with ODIN. Need some help.

Heya people.
I have a weird issue.
First some history.
I bought this phone years ago as a backup and soon after I decided I did not like it and got another phone. Meanwhile I fiddled with custom roms. This was back in 2012 probably so im pretty sure the rom that is on the phone now is Cyanogenmod unofficial android 4.0.
Phone boots fine but is quite unstable. random reboots etc when using it to its fullest.
I litterally threw it in a box, and forgot about it. until my mom called me needing an emergency phone. I remember I had it and offered it. Saying it could be there in about a day or 2. She needs a phone for a couple off weeks till her current phone gets replaced by Huawei since it broke. She specificly needed a simlock free phone. Mine is unlocked so that would have been great.
So I read up about Odin and how you are supposed to reflash to stock firmware. Downloaded the stock firmware from Samfirmwares. Dutch firmware. I downloaded 2 versions since there is a vanilla one and a vodafone branded one.(my phone is the vodafone branded one so I tried that one first)
First I used the newest Odin version and it didnt work. Got stuck on setup connection for about 5 minutes and then timesout with a fail.....
Ok so I went back to browsing and found that using a older version of Odin might work. Been there done that. tried 4-5 different lower numbered Odin versions. All the same issues. Switched USB ports multiple times and also doesnt work.
I am currently at a loss.
PS I also tried the Samsung Kies method.. Initialize firmware and upgrade. type model number(succes) type serial number(succes) then it tells me my device is unsupported for this method.

Process crash and random reboots!

Hello everyone I'm Italian and I have problems with my stock galaxy tab 3 7.0 T211.
Often when I turn on the tablet the process systemui crash, then while using, many other app randomly lock, and I must open them 2-3 times to be used in normal way.
It happens also that the tablet will block for a couple of seconds and restart it automatically, but restart is not normal but is much faster.
I tried to do a factory reset from recovery, I installed with odin before the stock firmware 4.1.2 (XXAMK6) and then the 4.4.2 (XXBNI1), but in all cases nothing, the tablet gave me the same problems, particularly the problem of the process are terminated .
It also happened that during the first configuration (language, time, wifi network password, etc.) the configuration process crash, and I had to start all over again. All this even though I had just installed the firmware with odin.
I do not know what to do, it seems to me absurd that despite I start from a clean base and I use odin to flash a stock rom the tablet gives these problems, I do not understand what could depend.
I hope you can help me, any help or advice is welcome.
Many thanks to all!
Been there, done that

This happened with me too but only after updating to KitKat 4.4.2 with Odin, I tried a couple of times and even used firmwares for other regions (mine is international version unlocked so it should work with no problems), I then Initialized the device using Kies 3 to the latest firmware available for my region for the SM-T211, it went OK, I still get crashes, I mean the problem hasn't totally been solved, but it's much much less crashes now than before when device was flashed with Odin (may I say that it was the same stock rom with the same build number from both Odin and Kies 3, still the one from Kies 3 was much more stable)

Note 2 DN3 Problem

Hello,
I had on my Note 2 t0ltecan Dn3V5 and it started to restart ever so often and my youtube app dissapeared and woudnt work. So I tried to wipe the data and it didnt work, from many TWRP versions and Philz recovery. Then i used Odin to install a stock rom, which then finally everything worked and I then tried to restore my Dn3.
Everything worked except my Action Memo which stopped working so I did the procedure again. Samething, so I tried installing Dn3V5 rom instead of restore. It didnt work because it kept saying bad zip, I tried TWRP 2.8+, 2.7.1, 2.6.3, 2.6.1, 2.5 and Philz. Only 2.5 worked but it woudnt boot after the graphic logo. Then i tried again and the same thing. So i restored again and this time it either doesnt boot after graphic logo or I get IMS Framework problem.
What should I do, restore Stock or DN4?? What could my problem be?
UPDATE:
I used odin again to install stock kernel again, this si the farthest I have got with it booting and not restarting. It is still doing that, sometimes more than others, but I have disabled 5 apps, one google play services and the other google chrome. So far so good, nothing has happened but I will have to experiment more.
I have been formating it many times and closing and opening it by taking out battery, will that affect my phone?
UPDATE 2:
I found the problem, I used my bros Note 2 battery and everything ran fine. My original battery died so I had bought a second hand battery. The whole time (for 2 months) it was causing me problems but I did not realize. After ripping the sticker off the battery I figured out it says 2000mAh on the inside XD.
