I hope I am posting this in the correct forum.
I am running the Note 4 with a stock rooted Lollipop rom, with a TWRP recovery. Starting yesterday, I have had problems charging the phone. Most of my cables will suddenly not charge the phone at all, or perhaps charge the phone for a couple of minutes and stop. I have found that if I turn the phone off and plug in the charger that came with the phone (the fast charger), it will charge very slowly, but steadily.
I did some reading on this and what could cause it. Since it happened with all my cables suddenly, when they were working fine the day before, I have to assume the issue is the phone itself, not my cables. It could be (and I am hoping it is) some dust in the USB port, so I am going to pick up some dust off and try to clean it that way. But if it's a hardware problem that needs to be addressed, I am a little hesitant to bring the phone into the Sprint store
where I got it because I have tripped the KNOX meter and assume I could have some issues with that. At the very least I assume I will have to return to the stock recovery if I don't want call attention to the issue at Sprint. Anyway, I would be interested in hearing from anyone else who may have had these issues on any suggestions they would have for my on my next moves.
Addendum:
Just realized I should mention that my carrier is Sprint and I am paying for insurance every month as part of my bill. I don't know if that makes any difference as to whether the rooting and Knox would be an issue or not.
=========================
Thanks.
Back in December the consensus was that Sprint didn't care at all about root or Knox trip. And Samsung had a one-time pardon on Knox trip regarding warranty repair.
Recently, a few have posted contrary to this belief. With Sprint warranty, I do believe it is OK to bring it in stock with Knox trip; just don't mention root or trip. Take it somewhere else if they refuse to help you.
That said, have you tried backing up your app data, removing sdcard and wiping everything several times, power down and Odin stock tar and checking charge feature? Worth a try. I'd even suggest trying the NIE stock tar if another tar fails.
Just do the wipes in TWRP and power down prior to Odin in download mode.

Thanks very much for this; very useful. I was going to try what you suggested, the problem I am having now implementing it is that whatever issue is happening with the USB port also seems to be keeping my desktop computer from recognizing the phone is plugged in. I tried going into download mode, connecting the phone to the computer with the original cable, and running Odin, and it does not appear. I can imagine this is going to cause me problems if I want to revert to stock recovery before I bring the phone in, as I assume I cannot use TWRP to replace itself with stock recovery, correct?
Yesterday the phone did charge for a while, all the way up to 60%, right after I wiped dalvik and cache. I was also able to charge it for a while when it was turned off. So I am still trying to sort this out. One additional thing: though I was able to charge for a while when it was turned off, I notice now that if I turn the phone off and plug in the charger, the phone does not show a charging image, but it does throb continuously while it is plugged in. Very odd.
You want stock recovery? Since Odin didn't work, you can try Flashify. Extract files from the BOB7 stock tar using PC, transfer via USB to storage and install the recovery.img using Flashify app from Google Play.
Can you use USB to transfer files?
Edit: you can get the stock kernel the same way but if you flashed a custom kernel, not recommended because the modules get modified. You'd need a system image for that. I don't know if Flashify is up that task out not.
Did you try Samsung KIES? You may run into the same USB issues but worth a try if you haven't.

I am using the Lollipop rom I got as an update from Samsung. Only thing I did was CF-Root it, and Flashify TWRP and install a few apps like Titanium Backup and the like. And however the standard method is to install Superuser, can't remember if I installed it via Flashify, Odin, or just sideloaded it as an app at this point. But I was not as flash-crazy with this phone as I have been with some in the past. So I would assume I have a stock kernel still.

I could use that to restore to stock? I will look into it.
Right now I have to deal with the issue that my battery is almost totally out because of my inability to charge via USB. I decided to deal with that by picking up the Battery charging station and backup battery from Best Buy on the way home (a useful thing to have anyway), but I am still planning on bringing this phone into Sprint and getting it fixed if I can. I've only had it for since the fall and I am paying a service contract.
Thanks again for your help
Yes, extract the file from stock tar to get the recovery and use Flashify to install the image.
Have you tried a factory reset? Do you have a lollipop nandroid to restore? I may have asked that already? If it's on the external sdcard, factory reset a few times and wipe internal storage and system a few times before restoring nandroid.
You can unroot within the SuperSU application if you take it back to Sprint.
Best wishes for a fix it replacement.

I did not do a nandroid backup right after I installed TWRP if that's what you mean. I just did one but that would be useless to restore Iwould think.

Just want to make sure I have the right order for this stuff.
If I factory reset, will I still be able to run flashify on the recovery and superuser to unroot?
Or do I do the factory reset afterwards?

Factory reset should be a priority and it shouldn't unroot you. I don't think there's any difference between settings or TWRP factory reset.

Yes. Personally I'd do this first. You could use titanium backup to backup apps because factory reset wipes the user apps and data. It's possible that your USB/charging problems are in this partition. Equally possible that it's in root partition or another partition which is where the nandroid or stock tar would be helpful since USB is dysfunctional.

Okay, right, thanks again. I will run another Titanium Backup before I do all this. Then I will flashify the recovery, then unroot with superuser, then do the factory reset in the settings (since I will not have TWRP anymore). I think that's the correct order. Then I can see after this if there is any change in the USB connection, and if not return to the Sprint store and keep my fingers crossed!

An additional question. I have downloaded the BOB7V3Final.zip file. I extracted it,
but I do not see a file named recovery.img. The only files named recovery are install-recovery.sh files,
several of them, and recovery-from-boot.p, and recovery.resource.dat EDIT: I believe that was the wrong file.
I am downloading a stock firmware from another site, and it does contain the recovery.img file.
Did This Work
Hopefully, someone will see this. I am having damn near the same exact issue, my phone has not been charging since a couple days after root. Unfortunately, I do not have a back-up of the stock OS. Seeking help to avoid being phoneless.

Hey out there,
ive a problem as well. Today my Nexus yakju does not charge anymore if it is powered on. If its shut down, it sometimes charges, sometimes not. If i try to connect it to my PC, a failure message appears that the drivers are not installed (but they are, and were working fine until yesterday).
So i think i have a broken usb-connector. fastboot and adb are not finding my device anymore. So i will have to send it back, if you dont have any other advice to me.
And heres my question:
CM9 and CWM are installed. is there a possibility to flash a stock image via CWM, that will restore the stock rom and the stock recovery (and lock the bootloader) ? As far as i understand, relocking the bootloader is impossible without fastboot, right? Which files do i need to flash back to stock via CWM (also without relocking the bootloader)? The transfer of the files is no problem with samba filesharing.
Edit: Also ODIN is NOT finding my device, Kies is installed!
Mobil Odin.
However, you are right about the locking your bootloader =/.
I don't know what kind of company you're sending the device to...
But maybe either play dumb...or say "it's completely hardware related...and has nothing to do with root. Why would you NOT grant my return?!"
Potentially reboot 10000 times in an attempt to grant fastboot access .
Or a new/different cable?
I wish you luck.
Thx for your fast answer Jubakuba, i also thought about mobile odin, but have no experiences with it. Thats why i thought there will be some CWM-Files as well to do this job. But before sending it back with CM9 installed i will try it with mobile odin.
My other problem is, that im on vacation for the next 10 days and need my phone. But its working, only the charging issues can make me problems, but i did not hope so. Perhaps someone else has any ideas?
Edit: i have tried 4 different cables, and 2 different AC/DC adapters.. Charging is messed up. Grmpfl.

You could run into a verizon store and see if you can purchase another battery with an external charger.
I have 3 batteries and a couple of external chargers so that I can fully charge all batteries while on the road.
Just swap in a fresh one when needed.
Thx kapolani, just ordered ;-)
Charging is really messed up.. Have a look at the attachement.
Mobile Odin should work.
As well, it is possible to flash the stock kernel, rom and recovery in CWM. You just have to pack the images in a cwm-flashable file. If you don't know how to do it, and IF I have time later today I'll try to package it up for you.

CWM-flashable stock IMM76D ROM (yakju)
Ok, so I've repacked the stock yakju IMM76D boot and system images (along with a script to re-flash the stock recovery) in a CWM-flashable format. All you need to do to return to stock is to flash this.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/16exbeehbjpb/n/cwm-IMM76D-stock_zip
NOTES
1) I have not tested this (don't have the patience to back up my /sdcard), but it should work. If not, let me know and I will adjust the updater-script accordingly.
2) This ROM is NOT rooted, so you will lose root.
3) This WILL overwrite your CWM recovery.
4) This will NOT wipe data (or /sdcard).
5) If you do not wipe data (i.e., factory reset) after flashing this, you may or may not have issues.

You can use Mobile Odin if you'd like, or here are the files you want to flash in recovery.
EDIT: Note that if you want to re-lock the bootloader, you need to do that first (using this) BEFORE flashing the images in recovery.
I've searched both xda and Google and haven't been able to find anything.
Yesterday, I formatted everything possible via CWM6.0.2.3 (/storage, /data, etc.) and (of course) ended up having to reinstall the stock rom as I've effectively soft-bricked my phone.
After getting everything up and running again, I installed ROM Manager and it said that I still had TWRP still installed. What's more, the stock rom had the wallpaper and lock screen message I'd set up before formatting everything.
I later hooked my phone up to my pc and deleted everything from both internal storage and my sd card, though Windows showed that there was still some data left on the phone. I again did a fresh install of the stock rom and the previous background, message, and TWRP are still there.
I know I'm being a bit nitpicky, but where is this data hidden and how can I delete it?

I've tried having Auto-Reboot and F-Time Reset checked and I still have residual files.
After trying the one click method you linked, absolutely nothing changed except I was no longer rooted. Still had same apps, lock screen, wallpaper, etc.
And you've done a factory wipe? What apps are remaining? I guess I should get more specific.

Yes, I've done a factory wipe. All of my apps remain; I still have Chrome, ROM Manager, Nova Launcher, etc.
If I delete everything, everything goes to stock except behind the scene things like TWRP still being installed (according to ROM Manager).

I'm relatively certain I followed the directions properly, and it works as far as getting back to stock. Though in the video he mentions that data wouldn't be wiped and that's what I was aiming for: wiping absolutely everything so that the phone is as when I first got it. No custom recoveries, no saved lockscreen message, nothing.
You may have to manually delete them then.

Oh and also, the files you delete while "formatting" the phone on the computer are only the extra app data (like back-ups and such) and other extra files. Things like recovery are in hidden system files that I believe can only be deleted through a specific clear (like system/data clear in TWRP) or by flashing a complete stock tar through Odin. Well you can also manually delete them but that takes a while.

That is correct, the recovery is stored on a separate partition from the OS, so you cant clear that just by formatting system and such. Its also best to simply replace it and not clear it, because if you clear it you are completely removing everything from the recovery partition and that may or may not cause issues
@OP, One way you can remove your custom recovery (and replace it with the stock recovery) is by flashing a full stock tar. In the general section there is a thread titled "MA6 OTA!!!", read through there because some people posted links to how to get the stock recovery back on without having to ODIN a full stock tar (they needed to flash the LJ7 to MA6 OTA through the stock recovery)

Ah, thank you so much. The main thing that was bugging me was that I couldn't seem to get rid of CWM and TWRP, but now I know they're hidden.
But I've flashed CWM, TWRP, then went back to CWM and whenever I open Recovery Setup in Rom Manager, it says that both CWM and TWRP are already installed, which is what's bugging me. Rom Manager works just fine and all, but I'm just really curious about why/how I can have two recoveries installed at the same time (I thought flashing one would delete the other).

This is why I hate the dependence that people have built on touch recoveries and recovery controlling apps. It makes people forget that the recovery works like a computer bios. It's not hidden. It's just on its own partition. When you fire it up, it's essentially booting a separate partition so that you can control everything on the main partition and nothing from your rom or kernel are in use at the time.
Hello
I have Galaxy S3 (ATT), currently i'm stuck at 4.1.1. I can't update to 4.1.2 or 4.3.
I had my phone rooted by the Galaxy tookkit.
What I tried so far is.

2) used the toolkit to remove root, also removed busybox and superuser, toolkit put the clockwork recovery back in., update failed.
How can I update to 4.3?

I used this thread to get back to stock so my flash counter would be reset back to 0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882
Then I used KIES recovery to reflash 4.1.1 just to be sure it was exactly what Samsung intended.
Then when i checked for OTA update (while on 4.1.1) it found one and took a while to download. When it installed the update, it was already to 4.3 - i guess it skipped the 4.1.2 official update.
I then did a master reset from the settings menu and deleted everything so that 4.3 could start fresh. I haven't had any problems with the stock 4.3.
Goofy? Did u try the ota to get to 4.3

Thanks will try that, you did a factory reset prior to flashing this?
At work now, so can't download the files, but will try it later.
What did you use to backup your files?

I didn't factory reset before flashing because i knew that when I use KIES to do a recovery it will erase everything on the phone. However, I did wipe cache and dalvic in recovery beforehand... well, come to think of it, i probably did also wipe data before flashing the 4.1.1 that resets the flash counter.
Regarding backing up my files, I have all the files I need on an external sd card so all i have to do is take out the card. Plus, I also use Google Drive to store my pictures as I take them with the camera. no real need to back-up things because things are saved somewhere else, and not directly to the phone. I will probably use the phone storage more now, though since I won't be flashing anything for a while. Taking a break from flashing.
Hope it works out for you.

have you ever tried Helium? I was planning to use that for backup of my apps data.
last time I recovered/flashed phone was with Windows Mobile... so yeah really behind with all of this.
So if I first use helium for backup and then do factory reset, then flash the stock 4.1.1.
I know google account has all my contacts and calendar.
After I have the stock 4.1.1 back I should be able to update to 4.3 and from there restore the backup?

Never used Helium. I have use Titanium Backup before. It's widely used for backing up app data. You can get it in the Play Store. Make sure you don't try to restore system data - it will cause all kinds of trouble. I don't usually restore app data anymore - well, now that I'm on stock I can't, anyway. I always had some kind of issue, whether it be small or big, when I restored data. who knows, maybe I wasn't doing it exactly right.
I'm not sure if restoring apps from 4.1.1 to a 4.3 base would be safe or not. remember, if you try, that means you'll have to root the 4.3 and that will trip your warranty bit count off of zero, so if you're concerned about warranty, you shouldn't root. (if you upgrade to 4.3 stock, you can go to download mode and see that they now have included two flash counts: one to count custom binaries (that can be reset) and the other one called warranty bit, that no one here knows how to reset yet.)
according to Helium, it doesn't require root. I will make a backup just in case, just want my angry birds progress...
still at work, so I can't download the file (yet), so how exactly does this work, since it says you don't need odin?

After you download it, make sure it's on your internal sd card in the phone. Boot into ClockWorkMod recovery, wipe data/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvic from the advanced menu, then flash the zip. that's it. near the end of the flash it will ask you if you want to keep root. i chose no since I knew I was going to be update to the official release. I've heard of people having problems trying to update OTA with root.
Just make sure that updating to 4.3 is what you want because it will limit what you can do with the device after you have the new bootloaders.
after i updated to kitkat, nb4 and ne6 same results
i lost gyroscope, air motion and proximity sensors, how can i do a unbrick procedure or fix this issue, i really need your help. thank you

I'm to to sure on the format option. I know on another phone it screws things up badly.
The best I can say is use odin 3.07 and flash the tar update. .
It will remove root but your be able to use the app to get it back.
Ill try that, thanks

I think i deleted some internal files, can anyone please share internal files that involve the sensors for Tmobile Note 3 N900T
Your file system may have gotten corrupted. I had a weird situation once that I just couldn't resolve, no matter how many times I ODIN'd stock ROM/firmware. The answer for me was to rebuild the EFS file system, as outlined in this thread, the second half of the OP.

I did the twrp terminal one, factory reset and nothing, also did odin nf1 and nothing
My problem is i deleted some internal files non rom related
Well, this might a time for T-Mo store visit. ODIN to stock, take it in, and see if they have any kind of wipe/reset procedure. If EFS reset didn't work, I'm all out of advice. )) Sorry.

Thanks bud, but i ran out of warranty
i have been having problems with my tab, i would like to do a factory reset, do i have to flash a stock rom? i dont really get this stuff to much, im use to putting a rom on my device then flash it from that, i dont really know about doing it from odin.
i found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798835&page=3) is this something i can do with odin and if so then how?
some of the problems might be that in order to make room i might of stupidly root uninstalled some system apps i needed, i had thought i had backed them up but i think i forgot to.
my camera app doesnt seem to work, does any one just have the stock camera app? maybe this will help.

The safest way if you want to know for sure is to download the original firmware here :http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T700/
Then inside the zip file will be a tar or md5 file which goes whereever you like ie desktop.
Then its the exact same process as rooting through odin, ie download mode first, connect cable, click pda box on right and browse to the extracted files...then your good to go...this also will have a built in PIT file meaning if ever you damage your partitiobs on your device this method will also solve that problem.
Good Luck pal.
i dont see any for united states
Why oh why do people NOT make backups in recovery BEFORE messing with the stock rom? All could have been fixed in minutes.
Just try and flash the Cellular South firmware, you may get an error flashing, but if you do comeback and we'll probably be able to get around it.
i did make a backup, just dont know where it went.....

The backup folder will either be on the internal or external sd card. Just direct twrp to it by selecting the right one.

what is twrp, i dont really get it, isnt it a app to help with recovery, is it also a windows program?
Well if you don't know what TWRP is then you can't have made a backup with it.
It's a custom recovery used for backing up your device and installing software.

i know odin,after pressing i get a black scree, with
warning!!
a custom OS can cause critical problems in device and installed applications if you want to download a custom OS, press volume up key. otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.
and it had a yellow triangle on the bottom with a exclamation point in it
then when i press up
i get odin mode with "downloading" do not turn of target and an android guy
That's stock recovery.
You need to install this with odin for TWRP.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554230
just tried that, and doing what pdolton2000 suggested a few post up, nothing.
still seems to be on stock odin
I think you mean stock recovery.
Right, put the .tar file you downloaded into Odin by clicking the AP button.
Now in the options tab untick Auto reboot. Click the Log tab.
Click start. Odin will now flash the recovery.
Once it's completed, press and hold POWER +VOL DOWN +HOME. As soon as your screen goes off change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other 2 buttons. Hold until recovery boots.
ok, still not working, this sucks.... i want to thank you for all your help you have given me so far, i know you definitely don't have to.
but what is the best way to do a factory reset i tried doing it through odin bust no luck. can i restore a factory image through twrp?
