[Q] Multiple problems after factory reset on rooted i8150

Hello,
I did a factory reset on Samsung galaxy w i8150 (via settings-->privacy etc), which was rooted using recovery method (xda link) and with its stock ROM (no customs). After that, I have the following problems:
1. After inserting PIN password, it stuck: keeps loading with message: “unlocking SIM card”*. I am getting out of this by pressing for 3 seconds the “lock” button and selecting “flight mode” *. After this, it enters to the home screen, with the problem 2 message:
2. “process com.android.phone terminated unexpectedly. try again.”, with only option: “compulsory close”*. This error sometimes reappears after some minutes/hours.
3. Seems like I lost root access. The superuser app exists (and I updated it) but root checker informs that “the device has not proper root access” and programs that require root don’t work properly.
4. Cannot connect to wifi! It stuck on “obtaining IP address” *. Already tried: router without security and router with WPA security. i8150 could connect to this router before factory reset. I only tested on one router. I do have internet over 3G.
* My phone has Greek language so the translation of messages may not be exact.
Already did a lot of “googling” over all the above problems, gained some knowledge but not enough to fix it…
Questions:
1. Is re-rooting with recovery method (xda link) safe?
2. What should I do?
Semi brick?
Thanks for reading,
thanks in advance to everyone who can help

is it possible, without proper root access?
Also, i tried to restore stock with kies, but just before the final step it shows a message with "chinese" characters and it quits.

how laggy do you feel, when how do you fell laggy ? i think u just remove the system app who not giving feature good for you, and u just install init.d and install tweaks and your handheld is for what ? gaming, or just like internet

It was getting too laggy, believe me. No gaming. Normal use except for i have 5 mail accounts with 20-30 mails per day.
When i was rooted, i had stopped (with root app delete) some apps from running and now that I am not properly rooted, i cannot start them over, so this is why (i think) there are problems (that i wrote at my first post)...
Is there any hard reset that will bring my phone back to the exact facotry settings? already tried hard reset using stock recovery mode.
If the only solution is flashing firmware again, what firmware do i need for Greece?
phone details
I8150NELM3
kernel
[email protected]#3
GINGERBREAD.XXLMB
PDA LMB
PHONE LM3
CSC LB2 (HTS)
Also, i re-rooted with recovery method and nothing changed.

Every ROM has every language preinstalled.
I "solved" the problem by flashing cwm with odin and cyanogenmod 10 with cwm.
2.3.6 is gurbage. Extremely slow. But cyanogenmod 10 is absolutely great, it works pefect without lagging. It is like buying a new phone.

[Q] S note has unfortunately stopped!!!

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.

Also i have same problem. After 4.3 update via OTA my phones buttns are not working. I tried factory reset from setting and from recovery menu but it didn' t make sense. After that i tried to reinstall update from kies also it is not sense. Could you help us please. My phone has United Arab Emirates rom

I think i'm going to send the phone to service for repairs.
By the way i might try to flash 4.3 via ODIN, do you think it may cause any problems or trigger knox counter.
Can you please advise?

First i tried to flash with another official rom via ODIN, but nothing change, after that i tried to flash with leakage rom for return to 4.1.2 but my phone gave DEVICE UNSUPPORTED error.
Could anybody help me for my problem

Once u get the official, u will get the bootloader as well.
With the new bootloader, u r unable to downgrade in a normal way via odin.
But I did few updates on several N7105 through OTA, and nver got problems with capacitive touch.

Yes you are correct but in my country warranty system is different. My phone has other companies warranty. So when i call them they said sent yiur phone to our service. But i think they are not very experience for this issue and they can say this is customer mistake your phones buttons get a damage. Therefore i m sure this is software problem and i m waiting an answer from here. If nobody can find a solution for my problem as a last solution i should sen my phone to service

Try this app, it will not fix the problem but will enable you to use the phone without problems. You may even do so with minimal loss of display space by making buttons overlay the actual display and making them semi transparent.

[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.

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.
