[Q] The strangest BIGGEST problem - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Device = GT-N7100
Been flashing my note 2 with several roms for ages now. However today decided I might try abit of STOCK 4.3. So went to Sammobile and downloaded UK BTU.
Flashed the file fine using ODIN 3.9
Started setting everything up and noticed the phone went to sleep and wouldn't wake up, so decided to clear cache and full data reset using the stock recovery.
Anyway started setting up wifi again etc. Left the phone and it went to sleep again and wouldn't wake up.
Then decided I will download the UK Vodafone from sammobile and see if that is any better.
So rebooted the phone into odin mode. plugged in my usb cable, noticed there was no bleeps from the pc. started odin 3.9. Nothing. No device listed.
Any way to cut a long story short, I cant side load when the phone is running I cant ADB to the phone and the only thing listed in "device manager" on my WIN 8 machine is "Android SMS" as a driver which says it is not working. I have uninstalled Samsung USB drivers gone through all the processes listed on the net.
I cannot get the phone to communicate with the PC at all. So changed computer and it automatically installed Android SMS... on the new machine.
So at the moment im stuck with GLITCHY stock firmware and cannot root / cant side load via USB or anything... HELP!!
Also I cannot enable bluetooth, so I cant send a file like that.

Ok problem solved by sheer chance. When i let the phone boot normally I was getting 7 CDC drivers.
Looked these up and found this thread. Cured the problem.

Things have gone from BAD to WORSE
Well this morning downloaded a different STOCK UK N7100 ROM. Flashed this. Everything seemed to work correctly except it has got stuck in boot loop.
Now my main issue is it has locked me out again I need for the phone to boot so I can use the dialler to *#7284# to select USB and not MODEM.
When I boot into CWM it shows that SDCARD cannot be mounted and same with DATA.
When I am CWM or DOWNLOAD mode the laptop or PC does not recognise the device. Any ideads??? JTAG??:crying:

Phone is not working

My phone is the Verizon CDMA version. I flashed a Jelly Bean ROM onto my phone. Couple of days later when I rebooted my phone, it stayed stuck on the Google Startup screen. I went into recovery mode and wiped out data and cache. When I tried to reinstall the Jellybean Rom that I used before, it was missing. Right now I just want to fix my phone since I have no phone to use.
I tried to connect my phone to my computer but my PC won't recognize my device. I tried to use Odin but still my phone is not being recognized. Right now I don't know what to do. I need help.

flashing problem

So maybe a month ago I decided to upgrade to nc2 firmware and bootloader so I could use sprint port.
I used mobile odin to flash route66 and all went well until I discovered that I lost root because i didnt install properly. Not easy when your usb doesnt connect to pc! Anyways, i was finally able to root with an apk i found here and got twrp working. Good thing I made a backup. Every time I install a rom it never boots up. Looks like it just turns off. Even if I try to power on it wont do anything but vibrate once. No logo screen or anything
I have to boot to recovery and restore from there. Am I missing something? I get succsesful install but nothing happens after. I tried sprint port and likewise rom. same thing happens
Yeah sorry but that will happen when you update with mobile Odin, you need to update with PC version. Try different cable, usb ports, uninstalling kies, reinstalling drivers, even different computer

unfortunately com.android.settings has stopped/after update - stock

Hi i have rogers s3 i think it's exactly the same as tmobile. It was on the stock rom, not unlocked.
I updated my software security update that was pushed to my phone, and then after it installed and restarted is just says "unfortunately com.android.settings has stopped" and when i click ok it just pops up again ! i can't use anything or do anything.
So far i have tried booting in safe mode, doesn't help, i have tried to use kies to connect by usb, won't connect.
At this point i just want to get my pictures off and some voice recordings and things like that.. really i would love to get back to the way it was, but if i can only try to backup data that would be awesome but my phone does nothing when connecting threw usb. how can i save the data ?
Can anyone please help me ? should i try to flash the old software back ? quiet crazy that you could accept an update and it ruins your day at work, i hate updates but i clicked this one, and here i am, so frustrating.
Thanks
The T-Mobile s3 hardware is not the same as the Rogers s3.
Your post should be in the att s3 forum as the att and Rogers version are the same.
I recommend you boot the phone into recovery mode to see if the phone is detected as an external drive by the computer. If it is not detected, I suggest flashing twrp, booting into twrp, and then mounting the data partition in twrp, connect the phone to your computer, and copy the required data files.

My GT-9195L is not working

Hello,
A couple days ago I let my Galaxy S4 mini charging and I went to sleep. When I woke up i found that my phone didn't turn on at all, just vibrated when plugged to the power outlet. After going through hundreds of threads, I got into Download Mode, but I'm stuck since then. I tried flashing Stock ROM and Recovery from Odin, Heimdall and Kies, but no luck, I switched USB ports and cables, switched OS and machine but I couldn't get to flash anything.
When I try to flash from Odin, It detects my phone (I see that "added!" sign) but when it starts, it gets stuck at Initialzation, or SetupConnection. I decided to use Heimdall instead, but it said "couldn't initialise protocol" and it wouldn't do nothing. As a final resource, I installed Kies and used that "Emergency System Restore" or something like that. It downloaded the firmware but at the moment of installing it got stuck at 0%.
I'm running out of ideas and patience, because I can't really know what happened when my phone suddenly stopped working.
Any ideas? I was running stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Cheers

HELP! (sm g532m) pc doesn't recognize device, can't enter recovery mode either.

Hi everyone.
so, I'm new to this world of roms, but i've been playing with a samsung sm- g532m, is an old phone, don't use it anymore.
i've installed many roms in this phone with twrp and gone back to stock rom with odin, and until now everything went fine.
I installed the lineage 14.1 for this model, and it went smooth, it charged to the logo, then to the first settings, but after maybe 1 minute it restarts itself, and i have to do the same. no matter how fast i try to do that, when it's supposed to set everything, it restarts.
i've tried using odin but the pc doesn't recognise the device. it's not the usb cable, because i've used it with other phones and there's no problem.
i've tried goind to recovery mode, hard reset but nothing, the android logo the green thing doesn't show, it just start the phone to the lineage logo.
When i installed the rom with twrp, i checked that it would install the twrp...like i said, i'm new. don't know what went wrong.
I thank you guys in advance, and hope you can help me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you follow the patching to not make it crashes every 90 seconds? That sounds like one.
Also, if you want to boot recovery from OS, install ADB on computer and do these quickly
> let it boot and unlock screen
> plug in USB and turn on file transfer
> on PC: adb reboot recovery
