[Q] [SOLVED] Phone will not unlock, have to pull battery and restart - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

AT&T pushed out the 4.4 update a few weeks ago and since my phone was rooted with custom recovery installed. The update soft-bricked the device. I have installed both of the roms from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-ds-ne5v1-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-t2803363
and with each of them the problem begins slowly and steadily increases to the point where I had to pull my battery at least 20 times today.
The screen turns off and will not respond to the unlock button being pressed. There does not seem to be any answer I can find through xda or google.
Since I have fewer than 10 posts I can not ask this question in the thread containing the roms.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you runners a custom rom or stock?

Both ROMS are custom versions of stock.

Did you undervolt the kernel in anyway? What rom are you on and what kernel you on?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I did not do anything to the kernel. I have flashed DS-NE5v1 and DS-NE5v1-ButtNaked from here and both exhibited the same behavior.

Ill send you a link of the settings from agni control app in a back up folder

Well didn't get what url you need but just search cart.3234 and look for the agni back up settings folder and download it and put it the phone storage not the sd card and go into the agni app and at the bottom it should say restore back up and do it then reboot after you restore it and let me know

Should I be searching for cart.3234 (that did not prove fruitful) or should I be searching carts for number 3234 (how would I do that)?

Before you flash any rom you need to wipe system.

I did a factory data reset and weird the dalvik cache before each flash.

Factory reset doesn't wipe the old system. When you change rom bases, you must wipe the old system, or you end up installing the new base on the old base creating many conflicts.

He doesn't need to wipe the a system to flash a custom kernel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

True, but he has installed three different roms of different bases on top of each other. Before he does anything else, he must do a clean install of any rom, to include wiping system. Otherwise, anything else is just adding to the mess.

Well most roms formats the system when you flash the rom in recovery I was just gonna have him try the kernel and the settings to maybe fix it

Thanks @SockmanTGR I was forgetting to wipe the cache. I did a fresh install two days ago and did not have to do a battery pull until this evening. Then I had to do it 3 times in a half an hour. I followed your steps and am hoping for better results this time around.
I know what a kernel is, but do not have any idea as to why I should prefer one over another. Can you offer any enlightenment on the subject?

A factory reset from recovery does those wipes.

Yeah, but all the developers tell you to format/wipe system before you install their roms.
I'm just giving my suggestion based on the OP flashing several roms and he never mentioned how he prepared his phone for the new rom.
If you apps are misbehaving the remedy is cache wipes, but not doing it won't cause the OP's issues.

I'm running the same rom and having these same issues. Im running the buttnaked version. The rom already has Agni kernel as part of the rom. I have not installed many apps since I've flashed this rom and whenever it's not locking up or making me pull the battery it runs great. When I installed the rom I used twrp v2.7.2.2 and wiped the dalvik cache, cache, system, data, and internal storage then did the format data option. Rebooted the phone then installed then rebooted again and everything was good for the most part except having to pull my battery. I don't know if I could make changes in Agni kernel that would help?

Seems you experience an awful lot today. But it happens to everyone's first time.
Go to recovery mode, reflash CM9RC2 and Gapps. Then factory reset - Clear cache - Wipe Dalvik Cache - Fix permission. These are important steps. If you miss either one it might cause problems.
Try going pristine and btw I'd you post a brick problem you need to say if you can access download/recovery mode.
Go to the general section to know what, why and how to do a pristine flashing, it will end your problems.
Just to make sure, did you follow Arco's instructions carefully? Pristine is always better but those instructions some times work great.

it's actually what I just did, got here because I'm having issues with the encryption unsuccessful... how'd you get around that?
I went with CWM 5 (signed version 5.0.2.7 ext4+rfs) and then proceeded to install CM9 final 3.
all went according to directions but then I got that msg and the reset button that doesn't do squat...
tried a search for the error message there but couldn't really pinpoint a working solution. so for now i just odin'd back the latest fw for the S5660 (ie S5660XXKTL_S5660XXKT7_S5660DBTKT1_HOME - Germany)
Reason i'm doing all this is because I believe the German baseband is different that the Canadian one (for Telus) since I'm not getting any reception from my provider but i'm able to get (detect) another one...
thanks for your time...

[Q] Softbricked my phone after TWRP data format...

Hey there guys, long time lurker, first time poster.
I've had a flashed ls970 for a while now, on spleef's 10/28 Carbon build. I was noticing my sd card was constantly full and logcat wasn't the issue, so I decided to format my data via TWRP. I then attempted to flash the current CM11 nightly (1/2) and had it fail on me. After that didn't work, I cleared my cache, dalvik, and data and flashed CM10.2. It worked fine, I got it to work and everything was right with the world. I rebooted it via CM's power menu to have the LG logo pop up and then a blank screen.
As of right now, my phone will ONLY work if I keep it on. If I turn it off, it softbricks. I have to format data, factory reset, etc etc. and the only rom that seems to flash at all is CM10.2. I've tried the stock rom, the Carbon 10/28 build, the CM11 nightly (and the proper gapps) and they all fail. I've tried via adb sideload and have tried via TWRP after an adb push. Last night, I used LGNPST to get teenybin on and got TWRP 2.6.0.0... still, no rom's would flash.
Like I said, if I turn my phone off, the only course of action that enables me to use the phone is by formatting my data, wiping everything except the internal memory (which I know not to do), and reflashing CM10.2 + pa's gapps for 4.3. No other rom's will flash onto the phone. What do you guys think I can do?
Maybe check for a different kernel to flash maybe even look in the performance settings (using trickster) see If your min is set to low

I'll look for some kernel's now and see if that makes any difference. My CPU's min is set to the lowest setting, 384000.
When you flashed CM 11 you needed to use the KK 2.6.3.0. You can find it in the root guide and the TWRP thread. The TWRP in teeny bins is the wrong one for 4.3 and up.
LGNPST teeny bins, flash the kk TWRP and install clean.
BTW any twrp backup prior to the new 2.6.3.0 will fail when you restore it.

Are you also wiping /system? I think that's what's causing that error.
And your sure you're using the KK 2.6.3.0? The one from Shel's codefire DL and octhropes links are flashable zips.
You may want to just go back to stock, make sure it works, then do CM/AOSP. There's a stock rooted zip in development.

Yeah, I just retried it wiping /system and still failed. On the top of the recovery, it says "Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.0," which I got the .img from the TWRP site for the Sprint LGOG. edit: for good measure I flashed the zip from octhrope and rebooted into recovery again.
I'm downloading your ZVC Deodex V2 to flash right now - I'll edit and let you know how it works. I'm going to wipe dalvik cache, system, data, and cache, then factory reset and then flash the rom (just so I'm being entirely transparent in what I'm doing).

Check the md5sum. Make sure it wasn't a bad DL.
You may just have to start from LGNPST.
There are 2 versions of the 2.6.3.0. You HAVE to use the KK version to flash 4.4 ROMs. Which should be the one you got from octhrope. Just make sure the TWRP is written as being for kk. Other than what I, or octhrope have listed as KK TWRP's there no way to tell.
So to start fresh. In TWRP wipe the 4 then power off. It'll warn of no OS. Then LGNPST either zvb or zvc? Then you can teeny bin, then flash KK TWRP, and flash a rom. Again... Probably flash stock to start of with.
In the root guide is a walk thru for LGNPST up to teeny bins if it'll help better.

Here comes stupid question #1!
How do I convert your rom to a .bin to use on lgnpst? or, what do I download/do to get it to work on lgnpst?

Never stupid questions with our phones.
It's all in the Root guide stickied in Development.
But ... the bin file you need is here. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111252790 It's ZVC which is our most current.
Then, since you already are using LGNPST, you can teeny bin to get root and unlock.
Then flash KK 2.6.3.0 TWRP, Flash stock ROM and you should be good to go.
Another option is to LGNPST ZVC bin, use fiddy619 root, then install FreeGee from the market and it will unlock and install the needed TWRP or CWM. Either option will work for you
I'm trying to get that file to work through lgnpst and it keeps coming back saying it's an invalid bin file. Anything I'm doing blatantly wrong?
edit: alright, I just used lgnpst to teenybin the sbl unlock version, flashed the zvc deodex v2, and rebooted and now I'm stuck in the LG logo screen... damnit, lol.

Did you wipe the 4usuals before flashing? If not, get into recovery, do a factory reset. Don't wipe /system

Check the md5sum on both those files. Make sure they match the reference in the DL site.
Can you get into DL mode?

You need to unzip the bin file before using it.

Yeah, all four. This time I won't do system.
edit: still stuck on LG screen
The md5's are the same, and I can get into DL mode.
and i'm stupid. Gonna do that now. Over a day of fixing this is frying my brain.
edit 2: I'm flashing the .bin now, will update after it's done. and it didn't work. same issue, stuck on LG screen.

That's weird. You should have stock recovery.
If I remember right to get into stock recovery, press power+vol dn until capacitive lights come on then release. It might take a couple of tries. Then do a factory reset. IT WILL WIPE EVERYTHING! SD included. I think you have to use the capacitive menu to select your choice.
LGNPST should go to 67% and reboot. Leave your phone plugged in until the screen comes up that says something like.... Unable to communicate

Sorry... Sent that to soon. After the factory reset it should boot up.
The bit about LGNPST was just some info.

Updated TWRP to 2.6.3.0 via fastboot. Wiped cache, dalvik cache, data. Factory reset. Flashed the CM11 M2 and gapps for 4.4 - failed. I have the log if you want it.

Error on update binary either means you need cwm or different twrp. Or its a ROM for a different device. Probably the first 2 though.

Also, when I soft bricked mine without a custom recovery, LGNPST didn't work, but LGflashtool did. You'll lose everything though
Sorry, didn't read above. I'll just leave the post there in case anyone else has a problem

5.0 to 4.4

Hello all,
Is there a tutorial to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.
I am currently on ob7. I am wondering if there is a way to revert back to everytjing 4.4 In order to see if i can create a MIUI rom for the note 4 sprint version.
thank you
Download the ank2 tar n flash it Odin do a factory reset/erash storage first
I am about to do the same. So is the ank2 or ani(whatever) important to which we revert to? I ask because I've seen it around somewhere. Saying it will have issues. Also we must basically wipe internal storage data cache dalvik etc then reboot to dl mode correct?

Again I'm not sure what my phone released with. But that was what I read. Not to flash what it didn't ship with. Or to that effect.

i am confused,
1. how do i kn ow what the phone came with (sprint dude did his thing when i was at work then i picked it up and it was all setup).
2. how do we find out what it came with?
Setting then about device then scroll down to android version. is 4.4.x l, LP is 5.0.1
