This is a really weird problem. I started to notice it around last week, but considering I never really turn my phone off it must be explainable.
Whenever I turn my phone off, it won't turn back on unless I reinstall the ROM. Which is extremely odd... Anybody able to think off an explanation?

Originally it happened on Flappjaxx ICS 4.0.4 (Stock/Rooted/Deodexed) and I thought it was that ROM's problem, but I switched over to Objection ROM and it is happening there as well.
Weird thing is: this never happened when I was on Gingerbread, or even noticeably a few days ago. I don't know why this is happening.
Hmmmmmmmm try flashing stock Rom thru odin see if it works then redo flash of Rom
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Could I do that but instead of reinstall, I'd do a CWM backup? Or would restoring CWM negate what I did with odin?
Its quite an obnoxious issue having to reinstall everything, especially when the phone hangs, considering most people restart by taking out the battery.

Unfortunately, I did already try that. I wish I knew the root cause of all this. I can't send it back anymore, I'm it of the period. I'm afraid to go make a naindroid backup because I don't know if I'd be able to turn the phone back on.

Calm down. Back up wit titanium. The odin stock. Then root again. Then flash rom. The titanium restore. As long as cwm backups are on your sd which they probably are you can restore you nandroid backup instead after you restore stock firmware.

I use collective tools, but you have to be running one of their roms. You can grab Quickboot from the market. ROM manager should probably not be used with the Note. I would uninstall it. You could always use the old fashioned method....power and volume up and down.

Just rooted yesterday. Just worried cuz there is no unroot method to date. If there is an update, we may not be able to take it. Is it true that it might brick our rooted phone if we take an update?

I had problems restoring saved WiFi access point data on my Nexus S when going from Gingerbread to ICS. If you're up to the challenge, you can easily open the backup in a text editor. If you hadn't set the backups to be encrypted that is.
Then on the GS3, with WiFi off, copy and paste the values into the following file:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
You can use Root Explorer or something similar. If you run into any issues, just go ahead and delete the file. It'll get recreated automatically on reboot. Good luck!

I havent but its only because I really dont see a reason to at this point. As soon as there are some nice custom ROMs, Ill be hanging in the dev section as well. I just dont see the need to root for the sake of having root at this point.

Hooked on phonics and a little bit of tinkering worked for me
I was running Scotts CleanRom 4.25 on my s3 and flashed Saberkernel.13.4 and it bricked my sg3.. will not boot into recovery.. the kernal works on my note 2.. but just thought I would post to prevent others from making same mistake. I done the battery pull. and can only get a red light to come on , on the top left of the device. Even tried a second battery I have from wife's s3.. same thing.. and it is not recognized with usb chord either. Had to ship it back to Samsung...

Aaaaand that's why you don't flash anything that's not made specifically for your phone, unless you know it's compatible. Sorry for your loss though. Can you get into download mode? Guess it's too late now, if you already sent it back, but I'm sure you tried to Odin back to stock..

Kinda like me I still use my S3 as a backup phone for streaming music on Wi-Fi/hotspot, playing games, hooking it up to my tv, and flashing ROM's when I get an itch, and don't feel like changing my current Note setup. I really like the Galaxy Mod ROM for the S3 mainly because it has Multiwindow, which I can no longer live without!
Sent from my Inverted Beans ROM @ 240 DPI
So, you flashed a Note 2 kernel that is for an Exynos SoC to the SGS3, which is a Qualcomm SoC? I'm not sure why anyone would even think to try this in the first place, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to warn everyone. Also, this is exactly the reason VZW locks the bootloader, because people do things like this and then get warranty replacements.
As for fixing it, you should be able to, but you likely need a USB jig to force it into download mode, then a full Odin tar plus a PIT file so you can re-partition properly.
Exactly what imnuts said. People sending their phones back for warranty replacement due to mistakes THEY made themselves is exactly why verizon is locking bootloaders and why rooting voids your warranty. If people took responsibility for their own actions, the rest of us wouldn't have to pay for the consequences.
Should change the title to I bricked my phone by flashing a kernel that was not made for my phone. The kernel did not brick your phone you did by making a really bad decision.
This thread is bad and you should feel bad, too.

This may be the most ridiculous thread I've seen in a long time. But only the fact instead of paying for his mistake he thinks some how is Samsung responsibly, but how completely ridiculous he was to knowingly flash a note 2 kernel on a s3.
op why do you think there are different sub forums for phones and even carriers. You're probably one of the people who flashed an international ROM too. ...Then sent your hard bricked phone in for warranty

Screwing up is forgetting to check the md5 and soft briking. Flashing a kernel made for a different phone ON PURPOSE then, instead of paying for it himself, decides it's somehow Samsung fault. Oh and then posting here like it's the kernels fault is ignorance!
