GT-N7105T - Stuck in Factory Mode help - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I'm hopeless at Forums so please direct me if there's something here to assist.
I got my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 off a friend who did a factory reset before giving it to me. For whatever reason the phone is now in Factory Mode and won't exit. I'm getting the same black box and yellow writing on my screen as this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/galaxy-s3-yellow-letters-screen-t2071052
I have Rooted my as per the following thread (which I'm pretty sure linked off this forum)
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxy-note-2-lte-gt-n7105-all-android-4-4-2-kitkat-firmware-1448702
I get to the step where I have to change the efs/FactoryApp/FactoryMode from ON to OFF however I get a '! Could not save file, Access Denied" message. Have I missed anything?
I'm using Root File Explorer and Text Edit to do the job.

I'm lost. I'd like to get it out of Factory Mode so I can use some of the key stuff like the lock screen for one!.
Let me know if I'm on the right track. I've tried clearing the cache and restoring to factory settings a few times and not working.
Appreciate your help and guidance.

I would tell you to get odin, you put it in download mode and you pass some official firmware 4.4.2. The rom is sammmobile page.that would be to see if any failure android 4.3. If still equal awaits the response of some advanced user, you get lucky.

I used my JIG I had for my Vibrant to get into Download mode and it works great. It is the one that came from Mobiletech videos.

I believe the JIG being referenced is used to reset binary counter... not to just enter download mode.
My Vibrant jig worked fine to get my GS3 into download mode. However, in reading up on the subject, it appears that Samsung has installed a different counter in the GS3 and the counter will still trip even when using a jig.
thanks for this
I couldnt find a general discusion area so im going to ask in here.
I just got my GS3 yesterday so it is stock. How in the hell do you get rid of the voicemail icon in the notification bar? I have no voicemails and it wont swipe away. If there is a better place to ask, ill post this there but i didnt see a good place.
Used this to go back to stock. ODIN finished successfully but now I have no Data. All else is well. Phone works fine just no data. Any Ideas?
EDIT:
Looks like a data outage simultaneously as I ODIN'd....what are the odds. However, This did not wipe my data at all.......which is bizarre for ODIN.......is there a new partition scheme on this phone or something?

Wrong place to ask, but the answer is leave yourself a message. Check your messages and delete them.
What's the difference between this and t999uvlem that's on my phone now?
None
HOw do I use Odin to Flash this?
I am a little unclear on how to flash this in Odin
Do all three files get flashed simultaneously? Which files go in which slots?
I am sure the Firmware file goes in the PDA slot - does the Kernel go in PHone?
which file does the Torrent file go into? I am desperate - my phone is bricked after attempting to odin the wrong file originally - I can get into download mode fine but am not sure exactly how to flash these three files in ODIN - and I didn't see any description in the thread -
Your help is GREATLY Appreciated.
Actually - when I tried to put the Firmware in ODIN - It did not recognize the ZIP that I downloaded - when I open the zip file, it has a TAR File inside which I am sure Odin could recognize - but there is a DLL file there too??
Really confused and need help.
EDIT - I struggled with getting this to work on my phone - the downoad file was confusing because the ZIP containted a DLL File and the ZIP - I am not a dev so this led me to believe both files were needed - in any event, I tried flashing this in odin four times - the first four failed every time - they took forever to flash - and after about ten minutes failed. The Fourth and Final Flash - took as long as the previous three - but it finally went all the way and "PASSED" - I have never been so pleased to see "Green Pass" showing the file had flashed successfully. The only thing that different in all of the different flashing attempts was the cord I used - After failing three times - and reading that others had flashed htis successfully - I figured it was worth another shot - and on a whim I tried a different cord - the last flash took as long as the previous three - but finally it did finsh and I was able to finally boot my phone - there is nothing more frustrating and scary than when something like this happens and there is no clear path back to 'normalcy" - anyway - i am rambling - but happy that I fixed my phone - whew!

I flashed stock firmware and have lost data. All I get is EDGE now.
Not happy.
This is stock firmware for your phone, so any issues you should report to tmobile

[Q] hi there

hello everybody.
i am experiencing this weird situation in which i neither can connect to app store nor can add a google account on my device. i can open gmail in browser though. i have samsung google nexus .. please help me out.
And what have you done to your phone? Likely it's not stock? If it is, you need to try a factory reset.
What happens when you try to add an account?

Seems to me you've flashed a custom ROM but didn't flash a gapps package, or something went screwy when flashing gapps. Make sure you have the correct version of gapps which is compatible with your ROM, and try re-flashing Gapps.zip
@ martonikajr ... well i don't remember what went wrong ... gmail and google play were working fine since last saturday ... whenever i try to add an account it get stuck in that screen which says "this take few mintues" [the verification process screen]
@-Psycho- how can i flash a gapps package??? there is another thing that might help you understanding the problem and eventually helping me ... everytime there is a system update [to jelly bean] on restarting there is some "clockmod recovery" error [failed to extract] error ... that's why after almost 3 to 4 days my system is ready to update again ..

Please provide a bit more information, such as what have you done with your phone...
What ROM are you running? Stock?
If you have clockworkmod recovery installed (and it seems you do) instead of stock recovery, you can't get an OTA update by pressing 'system update'. You need to be completly on stock for it to work. Did the problems start after trying to update?
let me add details of my device:

Is YouTube still blocked in Pakistan?
I've heard that people have trouble contacting other Google services because of this.
The government blocked the IP instead of the service which will affect other Google services which share the IP address.

Sounds like that may be the issue, and if you take care of this, it should probably fix your problem. Try out this link and follow the guide here:

Clockworkmod (or for short CWM) recovery is a custom recover, and not the stock recovery that comes with the phone. In order to get into recovery mode, when the phone is off, press and hold down the buttons volume up+volume down+power button, and you will now be in what is called the bootloader, which will have information on your device, whether it's unlocked and such. The touchscreen doesn't work in this mode, use the volume buttons to move between options and the power button to select. If you scroll to recovery mode and select it, your phone will go into recovery mode - if your phone then shows you a upside down android with his stomach open and a red exclamation mark, don't worry - it just means that you have the normal, stock recovery. Take out the battery to turn off the device.
If your phone shows you a list of options (again, you can't use the touchscreen) such as reboot now, install zip from sdcard, etc., and you see it says 'Clockworkmod Recovery' at the top of the screen, you have a custom recovery, meaning you can flash custom Roms, make backups, and many more.
I highly recommend you head over to efrant's 101 guide & faq, he makes everything abundantly clear over there -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
And, in general - use the search option at the top right corner of every page in the forum. Its really much faster, and you would've easily found out what clockworkmod recovery is doing that.

Random Reboots / Can't flash / use recovery / change data

Hi,
it seems I managed to break my GNex is a very unusual way - mentioned in an earlier thread but never got picked up. I'm more fortunate here.
So, what's happening?
My GNex (GSM) us running:
4.3 Stock
Baseband: I9250XXLJ1
Kernel: 3.0.72-gfb3c9ac
Build JWR66Y
The phone is unlocked but currently not rooted.
The phone randomly reboots shortly after startup. Often there are error messages informing about different Google services ending.
I tried:
- factory reset
- flashing sock image using Odin
- (re)lock & unlock
- flashing CM 10.1.3
- using all format and clear options with CWM
- even remote wipe with Google Devices Manager
Whatever I do, once the phone starts up it loads the exact same data it was on before and seems to be stuck on one certain point.
- Apps that it updated, update again
- files I delete, are back
- Deleted Wifi Password is back
- Changed Google Account information is missing
I read about the emmc bug but I can't check using the app since it will reboot before it loads the app.
Does anybody have an idea what I could try to get the phone working again? How I can flash something that actually sticks? I'd appreciate any ideas & help

Hey...i have the same problem with my phone. Galaxy Nexus..
Did you manage to get the EMMC changed?..if yes then where and how much did it cost?
Hi,
I didn't. I talked to Samsung and they gave me details on how to send the phone in, but since the bootloader is unlocked, there is no more warranty on it, so I would have to pay. Don't know how much it would be though. Let me know how much you pay should you go for it..

[Q] N910A>Lollipop 5.0.1> Manual Update> "NO FIRMWARE"

I have an AT&T SM-N910A Note 4, currently on Lollipop 5.0.1. It is permanent unlocked via CODE and I'm using it outside the US with a foreign SIM with no problems.
Last April 14 ATT released a firmware update (OTA) to 5.0.1 with new:
Baseband Version: N910AUCU1COC4
Kernel Version: [email protected]#1
Build Number: LRX22C.N910AUCU1COC4
When i try to get that update via ">Settings>General>About Device> Software Updates"... it does NOTHING. Just display a text saying "No Firmware".
To me it seems I'm being ruled out from updates....
Does anyone knows why is this? Do I need to be a current AT&T customer to have updates?
IS THERE ANY PLACE TO FIND THE LATEST 5.0.1 FIRMWARE files to update from ODIN??
Thank you guys for your help!!

Happened to me too on the initial Lollipop update. Basically, the update was downloading, but would fail at install. Eventually, I got the "No Firmware" toast every time I tried to check for updates.
I had to go to Best Buy and they reflashed Kitkat (Because they didn't have the update yet). After that, the update check worked again and the update installed.
And as just stated, there is no 5.0.2 update. Only 2x 5.0.1 updates. First update was the Lollipop OS. The second was just a patch to correct some things.

It wasn't a factory reset. It was a reflash. I didn't lose any of my files, apps, or settings. It was like updating via OTA, except the Best Buy guy did it via USB and the update was the same exact firmware version that I already had.
I'm not even sure if Best Buy is an option for you, but using Odin to reflash the latest Kitkat firmware should do the same thing. I say this because I've done it on my Samsung tablet and I don't lose apps, settings or data. I do lose root though (easy to regain), but that won't matter with the n910a anyways.
Edit:
Using the firmware repair option in Kies may work too, but not 100% sure if it'll retain your data since I've never tried this before.

Just tried it but there is a warning about loosing all data if performing that.
Best Buy is not an option for me.
Unfortunately, flashing the update via Odin is your only option at this time. You will not be able to upgrade firmware via OTA, if not on an ATT network. There are apps that will allow you to backup and restore your call history and text messages without root. You can try copying your android data to your external storage card and copying the files back to the device after the firmware has been flashed.

Hey @thepinkpanter, just saw your post.
First, if you haven't already, remove the battery, boot into recovery mode and do a factory data reset, then reboot.
If you already tried that, then I would try flashing back to KK (NIE or NK3) both files can be found in the General Thread for the ATT N4. Use can use ODIN ver 3.0.7, 3.0.9 or 3.10.6, just follow the instructions for the specific ver you choose.
Let me know if you need further assistance..

Hey @thepinkpanter
You can flash NIE over OC4. I have done so a few times myself. Currently I'm using NK3.
It looks to me like your data partition is not being wiped. If I am remembering correctly, you do not get the android is updating screen on initial boot.

@thepinkpanther
I would suggest selecting Nand Erase All, F. Reset Time, along with Auto Reboot in Odin on your next attempt. This will erase all of your partitions (system, data, etc) prior to flashing the ROM files. Unfortunately, this will erase all of the data on your internal storage card, but I believe this will fix the problem you're experiencing.
Do not select Re-Partition or EFS Clear, this will wipe your phones IMEl.

So maybe by selecting Nand I could also try first with the actual N910AUCU1COC4 ?????

Yes, that should completely remove the current firmware prior to flashing.

N910P - Please Help - Tried to root and failed No Bootloader found?

I'm really hoping someone can bail me out here before I...
I have made a mess of my new (to me) Note 4. I bought it as an Unlocked GSM. It arrived booting with a Sprint screen. I have Safelink BYOP service. When I switched from my Note2 to Note4, yesterday, an ATnT sim card was used to activate it with Tracfone. Everything seemed to work EXCEPT for MMS - I could not send nor receive pictures. I read -what I thought was- clear instructions here on the forum, I started downloading and attempting to root my phone, hoping that would solve the problem, since tech support had no answers.
I followed the instructions in this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/rooting-sprint-note-4-pj1-t3495306 . Now the phone will only boot to download mode, or I can use the up volume button to get to the program to install, restore, etc. I have tried several times - with a couple of different .tar files. This last attempt - I tried to restore it - that also failed. My old eyes can not really see the tiny text but I did see in Odin3 that 1) No MDS found 2) Systemless mode Boot img support required 3) Boot Image Patcher Failed. When I attempt to install the SuperSU, from the thread, it gives me similar errors 1) NO MDS file found 2) (under Boot Image patcher it says FAILURE / Abort after extracting Ramdisk.
If anyone could help me out, I would be most grateful.

I pm you also. Read it first, make sure I'm right.
Then download attached file samfirm.
Here's it's original post, to show how to use, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Use that program to download the stock firmware for your phone.
Use model number: SM-N910P
Use Region: XAS
Then use Odin to flash stock firmware. All should be good then!
Added Odin! Use this version!
Once you get phone back on stock. I'll show how to root!
Thank You
Thank you so much for the reply. I have downloaded the files you put in my post. I will attempt to do these things now, but I have a question. I stayed up fighting with the phone all night. I probably did some things I shouldn't have? I realized that I was getting stupid and quit, but I did (maybe) put some other stuff on the phone that night. Should I use the Clean or wipe function in TWRP before I do anything else???
Yes, I can boot to downloader or to TWRP. The phone (on its own) is now stuck trying to load with the Note 4 splash screen - but I can boot to either with the vol +/- buttons.
SamFirm did not work. It said Unable to fetch... please check data or enter manually.

First - THANK YOU all for the assistance.
Yesterday, none of the suggestions were working, but I kept at it. I was finally able to install the most current Stock tar that I could find. This phone had updated to the most current version available for the phone - it had Marshmallow 6.01. NOW, the red and yellow tamper errors appear to be gone from the Note4 splash screen - BUT, it boots to Sprint Activation so it won't fully load to OS. I read a post about removing the Sprint Hands Free Activation, but it gives two ways of doing so. 1 requires having a rooted phone (I am assuming it is not rooted now?) and the other uses ADN Connect, and I am not sure what that is.
I'm not really sure what to do from here? Any assistance appreciated. Can I start from step 1 of the original post to install SuperSU now?

Well, the sun is about to come up - again - but I think I got it! This has been a learning experience to say the least. I wasn't really planning a crash course in Android, but thank you to all who responded. And to :Samep too!
I think I get it
So, after a little rest I have a Note 4 with the most current stock tar. When I left it, at sun up, I had a slightly older stock version and rooted through TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted with the latest version of SuperSU. I spent a couple of few hours continuing to read and figure out how I would get it updates. If I could ask just a couple more questions??
If I put the TWRP 3.0.2.0 will the tamper warning come back to the flash screen?
Can I put TWRP on without rooting with SuperSU?
If not TWRP - is there a way to do a full backup without it? I REALLY want to get a good backup of what it has now - a fresh install of the latest 6.01 - and nothing else.
Thank you again.

Sorry I don't get on here much lately. Just seen your post.
Without knowing exactly what you did. I'd say you lost your unlock. If you had an unlocked sprint phone. And tried nougat. I believe i remember that upgrading to nougat was messing up people's EFS partition. And that's where the unlock happens. Did you make a backup?
I always tell everyone, the most important thing you can do is have a full working backup of every partition.
Hope that sheds some light
