[Answer]Soft Brick GPE - New 4.4.2 Test

A few people have asked me how to recover their GPE from a soft brick and going back to the stock software.
Easy answer would be you should have made a back up.
I do not have GPE to test this but you can try this method.
Download boot.img and zip file from HERE
GPE_Restore_Test.zip
Maybe this works for you GPE users that need to restore. Please leave feedback if it does.
It is 4.4.2 ROM...

This worked except I can't authenticate to any wifi network.

Did you try to manually install the OTA update to 4.2.2. Install update and see if it that fixes your problem.

I tried, but it has the TWRP binary error.

The device has wifi and I can see all the local networks but it cannot join them even if they are open and not encrypted.

Not at all but lets try to get it fully working.
---------
I am going to post a modified OTA so it can be flashed in recovery and see if it cures the wifi woes.
I think the system dump I am working with is missing some files since wifi is even acting up on GPE devices and ported ROM has no wifi working.
Give me a few and I will have modified OTA uploaded and then edit this post with a link.
Edit...
Mod_GPE-422_OTA.zip is the modified OTA. Should install properly through recovery. Please give feedback if it does install and if any previous issues are cleared up.
Thanks!

Darn. I'm sorry to inform that the 4.4.2 patch installed but the wifi is still not working.

I may have one more method. Testing first on trying to convert normal gpad to gpe. If what I am making works then it should work on gpe too. Maybe it works on GPE and not regular gpad.
Will try to make a new recovery package in a little while.

I updated original post and the file will be done in about 20 minutes. It is 10:25 my time now.

Since the op was updated is this a working method to restore?

[Q] How to root and install a recovery

I cant seem to find an updated guide with files to root and install a custome recovery on the sprint note 2 with 4.3 can someone help me find a link or get me the files etc?
Thanks

Recovery
I went to cyanogenmods website and ran the installer as directed. That installed cyanogenmod and rooted the device automatically, then you can download and flash any of the other custom ROMs on this site.

I rooted 4.3 with allinone toolkit clicking older variation and worked fine

Do this
1. Boot into download/bootloader mode.
2. Connect to pc and use odin to flash twrp. Make sure you uncheck reboot and flash twrp in the pda slot.
3. Once flashed pull battery and disconnect from pc.
4. Press vol+ menu power buttons while inserting battery (yes it is difficult but can be done)
5. Now in recovery perform factory reset.
6. Flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36388145
7. Now reboot it will act/look weird but dont worry this is normal. It will reboot and take a long time to boot.
Now you are on stock mc2 (no knox anymore). Root using cf autoroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33278464
Now use odin once again and flash your recovery again. Now you are rooted and have a custom recovery. Oh and you have a working phone again.

Before I do all of that...I discovered I can boot into TWRP and updated it to the newest version. Then I installed the cyanogen nightly onto the phone. Everything seemed to be working ok except I couldn't get any phone signal but wifi worked. I tried loading the dirty unicornes rom and the same thing happened . I then flashed cm 10.1 and the phone worked for calls but the asop keyboard kept crashing and couldn't login to the wifi network. I tried several installs with factory resets with the same results. If I follow the directions you listed will I be able to install these roms and the phone work for calls or am I missing another piece of the puzzle?

[Q] Wifi won't start on unlocked and rooted phone

He everybody. I have a T-mobile Note 2 which I brought with me to New Zealand. T-Mobile gave me an unlock code which worked and most things are fine except that wifi wont work at all. It says it is starting then turns off. I also notice it seems to be trying to turn itself on pretty constantly even though I have it turned off. I tried various wifi repair apps after rooting the phone and they all hang on deleting saved networks.
Wifi tether log shows that starting wifi (cmd) failed.
Any advice on what I can try please to get wifi going?

Since you are rooted. Are you stock rooted or did you flash a rom?
Are you on 4.3 or 4.1.2?
Is the Bootloader updated?

Check the screenshots.

bootloader is t889uvbmd1

How about the android version ?
You can verify it by going to Settings -> About Device -> Android version.
If your phone is on 4.1.2 then you can upgrade to 4.3.
Also, let us know if wifi stopped working right after rooting and how did you root it ?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Sorry android is 4.1.2
Wifi hasn't worked since I got the phone to New Zealand. I rooted it using saferoot in the hope it would fix wifi. It is a USA phone and I am now in NZ.
Everything else is perfect.

You can try flashing the T889UVBMD1 Kernel and see if it fixes the issue, I checked development forum and the link for this kernel is not working.
You have few options here:
a) If you want to stay on 4.1.2 you can flash Mr Robinsons root 66 rom from here
or
b) If you wish to update you can flash this 4.3 stock ROM.
In either case you wont loose any data.
To flash you will have to:
1) Download the file and then extract it. The extracted file will have a tar.md5 extension.
2) Boot your phone in-to download mode by i) turn off phone ii) hold volume down + home then press power iii) on prompt press volume up.
3) Start Odin on your pc(windows) with admin rights, (right click and run as admin).
4) Now connect your phone to PC, on ODIN if you see a message that phone is connected.(ID:COM tab on left will turn blue)
5) Click PDA tab and browse the extracted file, it will take couple of minute to verify md5 and then once it's done
6) Auto reboot and F.Reset time options are checked by default, leave them as it is and make sure no other options are selected/checked on ODIN.
7) Click Start
8) Let ODIN do it's job, phone will reboot automatically.
Done.

Thank you so much. One question do I download the rom to my phone or my PC in the instructions below?

The icon goes a pale green for a few seconds then turns itself off.
If I turn wifi on through settings the button moves to on but stays grey and then flicks itself back to off after about 5 seconds.

I am not very techy can someone suggest a safe kernel to try?

Honestly I would look it up in the thread specifically for your device. Just find a kernel matching all specifications to your device and try it out. Usually pretty easy if you follow the steps provided in the op of the kernel.

I am also simply assuming it's the kernel. Relating to similar issue I have had. It seems to be at least in my case a conflicting issue between the kernel and rom. I'm having the issue again on my HTC one. Stock kernel is fine. Using a custom kernel everything but the wifi works. Seems to always come back to a kernel to rom conflict.

You're not going to get much better then that ^^^. If you still are uncomfortable with a step by step maybe a walk through video. Possibly try YouTube just type it in exactly as you are asking. All kernels through Odin flash the same. As long as the video is for your phone and the file format you're good.

At&t Galaxy Note 4 Stuck in boot loop optimizing apps

Phone will not boot. Starting phone, makes it to the optimizing app # of 26. The first number varies, but it never makes it through the full count without rebooting. I can not boot in safe mode. I have used Odin to re-flash stock firmware 5.1.1 successfully and also factory reset after flashing. the problem still exists.

Connect in download mode and simply load up the tar file and apply it, it should reboot into TRWP recovery automatically. Volume up + power + home button to manually boot into it.

This TWRP bootlooped me for some reason. Did you flash a custom kernel first?

Nah, completely wiped my phone, installed the 7.0 update via odin, then rebooted phone and flashed TWRP in download mode.
When you say "this" I assume youve tried other versions that have worked? If so, why not give that a shot.

I had the recovery I was using from MM but I also completely wiped then installed 7.0 in Odin. Only difference I rooted before trying twrp, maybe that effected it. I'll keep playing with it I'm sure I'll figure it out. I was just curious if you needed a custom kernel. Thanks again for the help and link to root.

I have my phone network unlocked after root. Will this upgrade sim lock my phone again??

Once it's sim unlocked it stays forever....no way to lock it again.

Thanks so much for the reply.. but my phone has all those t-mobile apps including the device unlock app.. i guess they should have been removed after unlock...

Can anyone give me bootloader and modem G928T Nougat?
Thx
