Develop Bugs

I would like some help!?

I have recently purchased a galaxy note 2 and as I was reading the original development forums as a non-member I came across a cyanogen 10.1 port! I flashed this onto my phone along with the gapps for 4.1.2 this caused my phone to boot in and have error messages everywhere and I could not get out of them!!! I am going into panic mode!!! Is there any way to undo what I did?! I have not been able to find a stock rom for ATT that allows for a reset with Odin!? So is there any way to get me out of this predicament!?

Hit the thanks button on accident. Scott aka scrosler posted a rooted deodexed stock rom with the OTA from yesterday in the development section. Do a clean install and you should be ok.

Really sounds like you need to stop. Read. Read some more. And then some more. Before you brick your phone. The rom jyazzie mentioned is flashed the same way you put cm10.1 on your phone.

I have read as much as possible! the way I put it was incorrect I have no way of accessing my phone because as soon as I boot up it says there was an error starting gapps then it continues to say this indefinitely... so the only way to install any sort of fix for this would be from my computer!

To flash the rom by scrosler is the exact same way you flashed cm10. Before you do anything I suggest you take a few hours and read this over and over until you know what you are doing.

Is there a manual way of accessing recovery? because when I boot into it I use the power, home, volume button way but it only brings me to the stock recovery mode...

If you flashed cm 10.1 on your phone there is no way you have a stock recovery. Unless you've done something else that you haven't told us. I think we need more info.

N7105t wont boot

Hi, new here and new to Android. My mate convinced me to jump ship from iPhone and get a Note II and I love it. The best phone I have ever had. But now I am way above my head here. I gained root with Chainfires CF Auto Root and installed mobile Odin. Installed a version of Aroma Rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093080
I installed everything and worked perfect but I didn't like the moto theme i installed within it so went back to mobile Odin to go through the process again but this time it is stuck at the loading screen. Gets passed the GT-N7105T screen and goes to the ANDROID load screen, but does nothing else.
I initially backed up my EFS but forgot to do the Nandroid. Really need help... Thanks in advance.

Is there any way I can do a restore or anything? I can get to the Vol Up, home, power and vol down, home, power menus. Go to work in about 1 hour so fingers crossed I can get some ideas at the end of my shift.

Try a factory reset/wipe data. See if it helps. Phone will be fresh with no data if it works

Thanks, tried that before but will do it again. ... Ok, so completed factory reset (through recovery mode) and then reboot. Wont go any further than the android load screen.

Is it possible to gain root access with cwm and flash another rom? Can't seem to do it from recovery mode with cf auto root.

There is a thread which have pre rooted stock roms but flashable via odin only. Correct me if im wrong. Try downloadbany of the chefs rom for yur model. Usually it comes rooted. Try n see if that helps. Other than that try repartition yur phone using pit file
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Hi,
My guess is the ROM got stuffed somehow.
If you can get in to cwm recovery, try doing a full wipe and flashing a new ROM.
If u can't get in to cwn, download a stock rom for your model, from WWW.sammobile.com
Install Odin on your PC (it should come in the zip that the ROM came in)
Then boot your phone in to download mode (home button + volume down + power button )
Plug your phone in to PC
Open Odin, you should see a blue box showing your phones connected.
Now depending upon if the ROM is single or 3 file, u will need to do one of the following:
If its single file, select the PDA tab in Odin, and select the ROM u downloaded. Then click start.
If its 3 file, click on the tabs PDA, PHONE, CSC, and select the corresponding files with the same name.
Then click start.
The may also be a pit file in the ROM tar file, don't flash that. As it can cause a hard brick.
If what I said doesn't work, let me know, and the is a few other things u can try.
Cheers
Corey

Ah thanks so much guys. This is the exact info I have been searching for. I know its all been asked before, but trying to sift through the thousands of threads with thousands of posts is so frustrating when you can't find the answers. I have spent the last week researching and finally flashing a rom, then this happens. I thought my phone was a gonner!
Will give this a shot now. Fingers crossed.

Cant believe i didn't try this earlier. doing a firmware recovery through KIES and seems to be working so far.

Good to hear that. Just do a nandroid back up nxt time u flash anything just incase things like this goes wrong

Hi just wondering if someone could kindly shed some light on how to make a Full Nandroid backup of Samsung Galaxy Note II (N7105T) using Vodafone Australia Mobile Service. I have already rooted my phone using exynosabuse method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849 and I'm thinking of flashing the #hashcheck# rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093080. Thanks in advance for your response...

To make nandroid backup you First need to flash advanced recovery (cwm/TWRP)
After this you will have option to backup in recovery menu.

I have just installed ROM Manager v5.5.1.7 but when I try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery it says Unsupported device (Galaxy Note N7105T android base 4.1.1 DVALK3). However there is support for Galaxy Note N7105 but i just don't know whether this will work on my phone model (N7105T). Are there any other alternative methods available or has anyone here been able to backup the above phone model? Thanks in advance for your response

Hi,
I am pretty sure the n7105t and n7105 are the same, but just have different SARS values (work on different networks and need different rils and modems).
If that is the case, you could just download build prop editor from the android market, or just use a text editor, and change the device ID to n7105.
Then you could flash the recovery from ROM manager.
I used to have a galaxy s2 that was the T variant, and the only difference on that from the standard model was the sar values.
Alternatively you can just download a .tar recovery, and flash it thru Odin.
Cheers

How did you go BossMafia with loading a custom ROM?

[Q] Please Help with softbrick

I have T-Mobiles Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919). I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 yesterday, rooted, and was removing bloatware when something I deleted screwed up my gallery so I decided to re-do everything (go back to stock) and start all over. Of course that was a fail and now my screen says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." (didn't work)(cannot get into download mode or recovery) tried restoring through Odin (did this with an Galaxy s2 before and it fixed the problem) But did not work either!!! At the top of the screen it says:
Odin mode
Product name: sgh-m919
Current Binary: custom
System Status: custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warrany Void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
START (224, 1440)
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , Binary : 1
I had originally thought that Knox was just a app, but know better now. I am downloading the 4.3 firmware (6 more hours to download) to flash through Odin, but expect the same results. Any ideas on how to fix this issue or do I own a new paper-weight??? I have read through many forums and cannot find a solution.....

Odin flash the 4.3 stock tar and root with Saferoot Verizon method or CF-Autoroot (recommended). If you want autobloatware cleaner, search for TrulyClean. Good luck

I downloaded the 4.3 stock tar and tried to flash, but didn't work. I think there was something wrong with the file so I am going to try to download it from another source and try again.... wish me luck!!! I like to use CF-Autoroot.... I will look for truly clean and try it, because the one I've been using doesn't work on 4.3

Yeah, with large downloads like that sometimes they mess up. You can run a MD5 hash/checksum to make sure the file you downloaded didnt mess up. But download it again from somewhere and give it a shot. No reason why you won't be able to Odin

Once you are back to stock 4.3 and not rooted all you need to do to root
the phone is to download and Odin flash cf-autoroot.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot in case you want to root your phone:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Unzip cf-autoroot into an empty folder on your computer's desktop, use
Odin which is also included in the zipfile to flash cf-autoroot in pda slot.
Once you are rooted you will need to flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp.
Good luck!

Got a new fully stock and updated OF5 Sprint GN4 and want to root..Whats my steps?

Is it the same process as my original GN4? Cant afford to brick or screw this up. What will my limitations be with OF5? Thanks!

Should be able to root with cf auto root.

Same as any other samsung note 4 root

Odin twrp, flash su. Followed the steps found on Galaxynote4root.com, worked without a hitch. As far as limitations, youll only be able to flash certain roms.

You can restore your nand backups that you make with TWRP once you root and install custom recovery. What you can no longer do is "downgrade" the bootloader. There is finally a tar for the most current release so if you mess up you can ODIN back to stock and start over or get back to stock to take the 5.1 update once it drops.

That has not worked for me. I have tried both twrp and cm. I still have the stock recovery after two attempts with each of the custom recovery options.
I've also tried to use CF auto root multiple times with no success. I have had two updates since I purchased my phone about 1 month ago. I'm on version 5.0.1
My software version is N910PVPU3BOF5.
If anyone can be any help, I'd surely appreciate it.

In odin make sure you uncheck autoreboot, run odin like usual when its done and says pass, unplug phone, pull battery wait a couple of seconds put battery back in and hold volume up power and home button to enter recovery.

Custom Recovery after 4.4.2?

Hello XDA community,
So I've owned the Note II since it came out basically. I used to ODIN custom recoveries and flash ROMs to it all the time. After the last update (4.4.2), I ODIN my phone back to stock to get the update; which of course included the dreaded KNOX. Afterwards, I just left it be due to the KNOX security and fear of messing up the phone. Long story short, I've been out of the loop for a couple of years and recently I've had the urge to try some of the newer ROMs and what not. More than likely this urge has spawned from the fact that I'll be doing away with my Note II soon, as it's very old and dated. So the fear of messing it up, has some what diminished.
So my question is... Is there anything special that I have to do before attempting to load a custom recovery after the 4.4.2 firmware update? Do I have to downgrade my current stock firmware first? Or is it still the same as it was before 4.4.2, just using ODIN to push the recovery and reboot? Any help is greatly appreciated! :victory:

Wow, Thanks for the quick response! Would you mind looking through these instructions right quick, and see if I'm safe to go with this method?
ROOT AT&T GALAXY NOTE 2 AND INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY
1.) Download and extract CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip to your PC. You’ll get an Odin flash-able file in the .tar.md5 format.
2.) Flash the CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar.md5 using Odin. You can follow our exclusive guide on flashing firmware using Odin
3.) During the CF Auto-root process, if the device is stuck at bootlogo, remove the battery and boot into recovery mode manually to start the rooting process.
4.) Once the flashing process is finished, reboot the device and open the SuperSU app. If you encounter any KNOX warnings, then follow the instructions given in our KNOX disabling guide
5.) If everything is fine on the rooting end, download the latest Odin flash-able TWRP recovery from the Official TWRP page
6.) The recovery is in the form of .tar package, flash it using the Odin guide
7.) Reboot the device into recovery mode and check if the recovery is installed properly.

That looks like the right one. Been awhile my note is still going. Getting oppo r7s soon. But yes looks correct. Good flashing.

Oh Nice! A guy I work with was just telling me about the oppo. He's also talking about getting it. It looks like a beast, from what I've seen on it.

Not sure where I went wrong. I factory reset my phone before I even started. Pushed the ROOT using ODIN 3.10. Everything went fine, the phone rebooted and came back with "SuperSU stopped working" ,"Youtube stopped working", "Maps stopped working." Unable to open any of those apps. I factory reset again, and cleared the cache, but still no luck. Any suggestions for me?

Only thing I can think is su needs to be re flashed

Tried to re-flash SuperSU, but still no luck. However, after all the other apps finished updating - I can use youtube and maps again. yay! lol.
By re-flashing stock, do you mean using ODIN to push a stock firmware back over to the phone? Did the stock 4.4.2 firmware ever leak out after release?
By the way, I really appreciate your advice on all this.

I did a 4.3 stock. Then I flashed DN3. But yeah gapps can be a pain too. Slipped my mind lol.
Yw for the tips but you're doing it . lol Have fun.
