Have you tried flashing back to a TW based ROM backup, update profile and prl, Make sure you got 3g and late, then flash back to kitkat. I have never had this issue as long as I've had kitkat on my phone, which is quite along time.

I've been having the same problem.. There were some issues with apns on 'd2lte' Roms.. Which I'm sure you are on.
Read the last couple pages of the liquidsmooth thread over in original development for more info.

Make sure you have Philz touch recovery downloaded. Then go to your reovery and flash...reload recovery. Now backup what you have. Then go to wipe data/factory reset and do a clean install. Now you can try to reload what you had or flash fresh and go back to where you backed up and only recover data part. I haven't done APN....last resort if this didn't work...worked for me!!!

com.android.phone force closure every time I boot up my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE

Hi!
Okay so I recently flashed Cyanogen Mod and whenever I booted up my phone "com.android.phone" (I think it's the phone app?) would force close once and I'd never see it again unless I rebooted. This only began happening when I switched to Cyanogen Mod from my stock rom, I thought it was because of Cyanogen Mod so I flashed JB-MR1 Build 3 of AOKP (released a few hours ago) however the force closure is still occurring.
Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing this? I have tried clearing my cache, re flashing Cyanogen Mod, yet it still persists.
Any help would be appreciated!
Clear data is mandatory when moving from stock to aosp.

Is it possible that I'm flashing the wrong GAPPS.zip? I'm currently flashing gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip for all my roms.
Gapps has nothing to do with com . android . phone

CM 10.1 was released as nightlies for Note 2 LTE (t0lte) and AOKP was released around 4 hours ago for the LTE version.
K just wanted to confirm you didn't flash N7100 version.
Try data and cache and dalvik and system wipe then flash stock rom.

One thing I didn't do when reflashing roms, was clear dalvik cache, could this be the issue?
I fixed it by reverting back to a backup, however I don't get 4G connectivity now. How can I fix this?
Make a backup of your efs asap.
I am suspecting its related to it.

Flashed Wicked; No data. Halp?

So I flashed Wicked ROM before doing a nandroid backup AND I forgot to wipe before flashing. DURRRR!!!
Anyway, now I'm in system and 4G/LTE doesn't work, only WiFi. I'm currently downloading the stock ROM because I'm assuming that's what I have to flash now.
Is that right?
Using OUDHS and I had just rooted my phone from the May 7th update.
So why not do a full wipe and re-flash Wicked?
Happened to me once, check your APNs just to be sure
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
If this doesn't work, you'll need to do a full wipe and flash. The Wicked ROM works perfectly fine UNLESS you don't do a wipe/flash. Otherwise, a ton of wonky things can happen. :/
I did wipe it clean and then flash Wicked, but still no data connection.
Dude you need to select apn . That happened to me too. Go to seting and on apn just select apn.

[Q] Flashing 4.3 ROMs'

I've flashed a few times on 4.3 roms and I want to know a way where I don't have to goto recovery and format data. I flashed a few before with TWRP 2.4/5. Now I have 2.6.3.0.. I'm running stock ZVC

So I'm guessing you want to bounce back and fourth installing stock and CM Roms without clearing data? Or different CM Roms for that matter.
I don't know much tech stuff, but every ROM is layed out differently. And stores it's info in different ways.
So a setting you have, for say Carbon might interfere with a setting in PAC.
That's my best way to explain it.

I'll say be in a custom ROM and don't have to keep formatting data to use the ROM again
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
You could always get a ROM running the way you like, create a back up and then flash a new one and repeat. Now when you want to switch ROMs its as easy as hitting the restore button.

Do you mean you don't want to lose files on your SD card? You don't have to format data every time you install a new rom. Factory reset - > wipe system - > wipe cache -> wipe d cache -> flash rom -> flash gapps
This will keep your actual files on your sd card for every rom you bounce to. If you mean Application data (login info, candy crush progression, etc...) use Titanium and backup before flashing a new rom and restore after.
Hope that helps!
Once you are on CM official you can update easily through the tool in settings. But to switch back and forth from CM to stock is quite difficult on this phone.

[Q] flashing a rom without bricking?

I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?
All of the roms on this forum work.. What are your exact steps?

Have they been tried on sgh-i317?
I did these exact steps:
Rooted phone and installed TWRP recovery
put AOKP Rom on SD card and booted into recovery mode
Wiped/Factory reset through recovery
rebooted into recovery
installed AOKP ROM
booted and bricked- hangs at "X" aokp bootup screen
Have you installed gapps after flashing an aosp rom? I am running carbon rom right now... Earlier today I was on aokp. I have used them all and I have a I317. An att note 2

does not having the gapps installed prevent the phone from booting? ive booted a rom before without gapps and it booted.
was there something wrong with my steps? did you use the aokp milestone or nightlies? where did you get the carbon rom? its all good?
I used the latest aokp nightly. And right now I'm running the newest carbon nightly. I got it from the op of the carbon thread.

Download your rom and gapps again using a PC...
Then place the files to your SD using a card adapter if no USB connection is possible...
Then fully wipe the device again from within the latest version of TWRP recovery and flash the new downloads ...
You may have a bad flash ...and you are not bricked...g

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Are u wiping data and system as well in recovery. If you're running TW and u switch to AOSP without wiping everything.....the results most likely wouldn't b pretty

Kies is not the method I use in returning to stock...as I don't trust it..
Odin is my first choice ...
Using Odin to flash a factory rom will wipe everything as well ...and is far more reliable ...IMHO...g

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)

Omg nv data gone!!

I've never ever thought this could or would happen ... and im very aware of efs baxkup procedure i just didnt do it to this phone I have flashed 100times nevr lost my imei info.
Least I think that's what happened I am on metro t999n s3
I tried to flash the tmo 4.3 leak version knox free by doc holiday77 and when it booted had no signal said insert sim. So I nandroid back to stock SIM STILL NOT DETECTED.
What happened what can I do.
Is there a fix
I think that 4.3 rom is the cause of this
Sent from my SGH-T999N using xda app-developers app
Also sound dissapeard
Could this have to do with flashing the 4.3 mj4 modem when I flashed the leak it said to flash it in the rom install log.
Shouldn't a nandroid restore even restore nvdata efs all that ?
I've restored backup 3 times before from 4.3 to 4.1.2 and never had this issue until this last time I tried to flash 4.3 deodoxed and then restore to 4.1.2 sound gone
Data gone signal gone No Sim inserted Error

Being aware of EFS backup routines and not employing at least one of the options is negligent. terminal > su > reboot nvbackup. How hard is that?
Now that you are no longer on the leak, you should reflash the old modem (LJC/MD5/whatever you were using).
