[Q] Upgrade unsuccessful

Hello folks,
I came here to beg for help
I tried to upgrade my Galaxy S2 HD LTE using Kies to the last version of Jelly Bean (Korean model, SHV-E250L, I bought last year in Korea, so I came back to my hometown at Brazil), but it is stuck in the booting screen.
So, I have no idea to how I can reinstall the OS or maybe reset it to a safe point.
If there's a easy way to restore it, please let me know.
I really appreciate your help and comments.

Did the update process go ok, or did you get any error or disconnect cable during update?
In 99% of the cases performing a factory reset solves it. Just make sure to backup whatever you can, at this time.

You're in the wrong forum.
The SHV-E250L is the Galaxy Note 2 not Galaxy S2?

You're in the wrong forum, buddy. However, I suggest an Odin flash of the newest firmware. Still ain't fixed? Nandroid backup and wipe.

If the factory reset suggested above doesn't work, just download the latest custom rom for your device and flash via Odin.
You can find it here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SHV-E250L
Make sure you factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the rom.
Cheers e boa sorte

Hey guys, I just came back here to say THANKS so much, because the factory reset worked and now it is working as usual.
Thanks a lot again. This topic can be closed now :laugh:

[Q] NOTE II back to stock for repairs under warranty

Can anyone tell me how to put my Note2 back to stock such that it is repaired under Samsung warranty?
My phone is rooted and has the Jellybam rom. Unfortunately Wifi and bluetooth function are not stable (sometimes on, sometims off; far from reliable).
Is there a manual for this? Please help!

Please check my signature below.

Have you tried flashing back to stock to see if it's really the hardware at fault?
AOSP roms sometimes have problems with modules, and it's not uncommon to find out something doesn't work properly.
If it's really a hardware fault.
You need to use Triangle Away, reset the counter, flash stock rom... Data and cache wipe in stock recovery. Then flash stock once again to be truly out of the woods.

Hi thanks for responding. When I come to 'Now I have downloaded Triangle away by Chainfire installed and after installation completes it may ask you to download the data please download it via Wifi or Mobile Data.' and I launch Triangle Away it says I am not rooted...
Should my device be rooted again?
Please tell me how to proceed.

Another thought: could it be that since my wifi, bluetooth and gsm don't work I lost the EPS files? Is there any way to restore them (I don't have a backup).

I don't click into every single thread and read them. I don't know know about your other thread. You could at least link it.
Flash stock rom using Odin and then root again.

My Note2 is fubar. It's ready for the thrashcan. No wifi, no gsm, no 3g no bluetooth, nothing. Try to make Triangle away work without internet (wifi) if you can, I can't.
I want to make it stock again so I can send it back under warranty. So either you provide a working tutorial or go on and be smart to someone else.

I checked off two solutions on my list of fixes, but you're too stuck up to read the rest.
Good luck with your Note 2, and I wasn't being smart at all. I try to help people as best as I can, but I can't mind read other people's threads they've started, and also be expected to check your "other" thread.

no i didnt i only wiped it after flashing trying to solve the s note problem, my phone is really tilting and i dunno what to do, tried reflashing and wiping multiple times but no use!

If you come from custom rom, then wipe data and cache partition is required before flashing stock roms. Else some part of last roms remain in system and can create problems.
You can also try by clear data of snote from application setting section.

i had same kind of problem with s note after flashing it with a custom ROM in my gtn 8000. It troubled me alot but finally got the solution by installing languages in keyboard setting.
go to setting>language and inputs >click on settings of Samsung keyboard>choose Handwriting> choose Input languages
u will see lot of languages to download.
download any one of them........................ wait for finishing installation...
Hope it works for u as it did for me.
if does nt work no hard feelings..

I had the same issue, reloaded firmware, clear data and cache with no fix. I thought about to do a factory reset, but just b4 I was going to do it. I suddenly have an idea just flashed in my mind. This is what I did.... go to setting > my device > S pen > put a check mark on the "Open Popup Note when the pen is detached". Then back to the home screen, pull out the S pen and a mini S note will open. Close it and now you should be able to open the regular S Note. It works on my Note 2. Good luck guys.

[Q] What is that watermark I got

Hello
My note 8 bricked yesterday without any known cause and it was stuck on the galaxy note 8 start screen when I started it and clearing the cache and resetting it didn't work either so I downloaded an official firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it via odin.
the problem is I downloaded 3 different firmwares(4.4.2 and 4.2.2)from the website and every time I got like a watermark message and I can tab through it but it is really annoying and it is on the home screen all the time , I don't know what is it and I tried clearing cache and user data from recovery too but it didn't help
N5100XWDNE2_N5100OJVDNE2_XSG
N5100XWDNF1_N5100OJVDNF1_XSG
and another one I can't remember because I deleted it the first time
Thanks in advance

How to remove retail mode?

Hi,
I have a galaxy note 2014 edition that has retail mode on, it was a demo ex. Is there anyway to remove this from the device? Maybe through factory reset with stock firmware or something? Have no idea how to do a factory reset with stock firmware if that works.

Hi,
To do a factory reset: Switch off the tablet.
Then power it up by pressing simultaneously and holding : Volume up + Home + Power
When in Recovery mode move the cursor with the volume key and execute with the power key.
Select Factory reset and execute it.

Hi,
OK, the first thing to know is which device you have: Sm-P600/601/605 ??
Then to know which ROM is installed on the tablet ?
If you can go to setting : then scroll down to "About the phone" you should see the version of the ROM.
With that you go to sammobile
You put your device type and you will get all the stock ROM's
You click on the one you want and on the next windows you will have the URL to download and the way to install it.
To be able to download the ROM you have to register on this site but it's free of charge !!

Its a SM-P600,
Kernel Version: 3.4.39-1691324
Build Number: JSS15J.P600XXXUAMI8_LLK
I tried that site but canceled it cause it said it will take 15h to download the firmware.

You can try from HERE
But I am not sure it will be any faster.
Those ROM's are quite big > 1.xx Gb so if your internet connection is slow it's take time.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

One more question, I can´t seem to set some kind of password for the lockscreen since the lock screen option is gone in some way. It says something about Knox but what is that?
Can i add some other app that handles the lock screen?

About Knox: it's some kind of security introduced by Samsung some months ago, a real pain in the back..
Have a look HERE (for example) for more details.
Yes you can install applications w/o problem.
Knox will only get involved when you start playing with the ROM's, Bootloader etc ..

Hi
Hello guys, I have an Galaxy S6 Edge Demo version, I want to know if I change the motherboard with another with GSM function, it will work fine ?
The digital finger print doesn't work, I have to change the button or how can I fix this ?
And another thing, in the background of display, you can barely notice a text, this : Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, this thing is from display or motherboard ? Because I want to know, if I change the motherboard, it will dissapear that text ?
Thank you.

I would like to remove the starting screen ''Live demo unit'' on SM-T800X tablet to the stock one, and after flashing I have got the demo pieces of text in the bottom of the screen.
I tried to re-partition the install with ODIN and used a PIT file but no changes. Anybody can help with this problem please ? Is there any solution to change the demo unit to look as a stock SM-T800 ?
Also if there any solution to change KNOX value to 0 would be great.
