Did you tried a factory reset after rooting??
How did you wiped dalvik cache? In cwm??
Go to data/dalvik-cache,delete all files inside this folder and reboot.

If this doesn't help the last chance is factory reset.

any idea what could be causing the lagginess? its only really on the lock screen it lags and when pulling down the status bar, scrolling through menus etc is fine also tried force gpu rendering which made no difference either
You can find factory reset in the settings in backup and reset.

Contacts,sms,settings will be lost anything else on the sd like pics and movies... Will be intact.
If after factory reset still have lags that means something wrong with the rooting and you need to flash your phone again with a clean firmware.

Anyway, if he doesn't flash system, root won't be lost, in fact, that is the last step to root (the japanese original)

You need a custom recovery.. sounds like your trying to flash using the stock system recovery. Best bet is to flash a kernel like entropy's or siyah. Both have working CWM..

Download the latest Odin.. I believe its v1.85 maybe
Then put the kernel file (I believe it will be in .tar format.. this you need to double check) in the kernel slot. But there should be plenty of how-to's all over the place. But if you got download mode, flash a kernel via Odin on your PC and I think that will fix yuh!

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on XDA.
Rode the iOS bus for awhile.
Long story short I went and bought a i-777 earlier today and I did a factory reset via the settings menu then proceeded to do a hard reset to clean the phone out.
I pressed and held the volume down button and pressed and released the power button. A warning about a custom OS popped up and I proceeded and it took me into a screen that said "Odin" at the very top.

Now, I bought this phone through a second hand electronics store and I'm wondering if this phone has been improperly rooted and I just picked up someone else's headache.
If that's the case I plain on returning it.

You about phone screen looks like the phone has stock Gingerbread installed. UCKK6 was the update version. The phone originally shipped with UCKH7. Yours may have been updated over the air, or later models were shipped with UCKK6.
I've never heard of the button configuration that you describe for this phone. I tried doing the same thing, holding down vol- and short press the power button, but the phone just booted normally. But then I am running a custom ICS rom.
Boot the phone into download mode: with the phone off, hold both volume buttons, but not power, and plug in the usb cable. When you get the warning screen, use the volume up button to go to the download screen. Look at the flash counter information at the top of the screen. That will tell you if the phone has been modified. (Unless they followed my guide on flashing custom firmware without incrementing the flash counter, lol.)
Even if the phone has been modified, that doesn't necessarily mean it has been damaged.

Your phone appears to be stock and to have never been modified. What you are seeing is exactly what would be expected of a phone right out of the box.
Good Odin threw me off.
My other problem is now I'm rooted with broken wifi, running around I'm circles trying to figure this one out. :/
Tried flashing cm7 stable with no success to rid of this stock rom and modified kernal that provides root access.

Downloading their "unroot" tar now to flash in Odin, which should put me back on 2.3.4 which I beleive the original root method was designed for.
Once back on 2.3.4 im going to try and re-root and see how it goes from there, hopefully I can resolve this with out going through extreme mesaures. See kids, this is perfect example of "I didnt take my time to read and reseach before I started pushing buttons." LOL
I just wanna run CM7 dammit!

Yes, zedomax kernel screws over a lot of people. Wish there were some way to warn unsuspecting folks. Actually, the zedomax unroot causes more problems than the rooting kernel.
Glad you've got everything going. Now, just read a few minutes every day, and before long, you'll be up to speed.
Well glad I didn't unroot then. Lol
Got cm7 running like the old days, used to have a aria, captivate, inspire and nexus s. Feels good to be back.

Hi Xda,
I decided to revert back to stock, got a MD5 checksum error on my nandroid backup (which was in the phone storage). Decided to use one of the custom ROMs which were available on my external SD or even a nandroid backup of my current system but to my surprise CWM won't recognize my external SD anymore and I already wiped cache, system data, and all that stuff clean so I have no OS anymore. Note that until very recently CWM could see my external SD and if I plug it in another phone it works fine so that eliminates the possibility of it being corrupted. I also tried to plugin my usb cable and tried to mount it but got an error. I had another nandroid backup on the phone which worked 5 minutes prior but I deleted it which was obviously a stupid move.
tl;dr: Wiped my phone clean, only have CWM left. Through CWM I Couldn't mount usb, external SD doesn't work anymore, and nandroid backup on the phone storage failed the checksum. What should I do?
if your phone is working download rom manager and flash recovery thru the app...first find the new rom you want and gapps...then flash thru rom manger recovery....then when your done..make sure you make a backup this time....the roms now thru recovery only show sd card because when making backups its more secure..they don't get erased ...
Thanks for your reply but my phone is no longer working CWM is the only thing I have left
reflash cwm with Odin
Get the Odin version HERE
Load it in the pda slot of Odin, out phone in download mode, connect to pc, and let her rip
That version will see the external sd, the new one from Rom manager will not..
Or, get into cwm, mount your USB storage, copy ROM to phone, flash, sigh in relief, feed the zombie...

^^ op says he tried that and "got an error"
But yes, feed the zombie, I'm starving!
Just because you wiped everything doesn't mean you only have cwm left. You just have a fresh install of whatever Rom you were running when you did all the wipes. You can reboot into the Rom and move backups around or flash the latest cwm of you're on an old one.
Have you tried just rebooting and moving whatever junk to internal or whatever you need?

I'm guessing he hit the wipe data/factory reset option in cwm. Which wipes data and factory resets and leaves you with a fully functional Rom. He never said he formatted /system but maybe reading comprehension isn't your thing. Thanks for being an ass though.

I'm thinking he only thinks he has no os, he has not mentioned ever trying to reboot. Seeing as he's being noobish (no offense), I'm guessing he's following the standard procedures of pretty much every tutorial and ROM OP, and simply wiping data/factory reset and clearing caches. Thus he should have a nice clean os. I could be completely wrong and he formatted everything, but I doubt that is the case.
I realize assuming can be bad, but I'm just trying to help him in the absolute simplest way possible which seems quite reasonable. :thumbup:

Thanks a lot for the help everyone specially yollasho and studacris and I'm sorry if I caused an argument. I never formatted the phone. I just did data/factory reset, deleted cache and dalvik. I tried to boot to the phone and I did get the custom ROM's splash screen but it never booted so I made the assumption that I lost my OS. I will carefully read the advice everyone gave me again and I will report back once I hopefully get it fixed.

Hahaha well, it's not often i have to say this...but I'm sorry dude, you were right.
Still stand by everything i said....but, my foot tastes funny
Saw this looking for roms for wife's new Note and thought I'd chime in. Since you have cwm, try booting your phone into recovery, and push a new rom to your sd card with adb and flash that.
What you'll do is boot your phone into recovery, connect to your computer and then from a cmd prompt :
1) adb devices
(you should see your device I'd here)
2) adb push somerom.zip /sdcard/somerom.zip
(see transfer here....)
Obviously you'll need to be in the directory on your computer that contains your rom and have your path variable set so you can run adb from anywhere. Then reboot your phone back into recovery, flash, be happy. Hope that helps!

Hello all.
I'm coming from a droid charge. I had it rooted mostly for the adfree and titanium backup. I have rooted various friends phones and I am familiar with the process of sorts. My issue is similar to what has been posted previously but with a twist.
I used CASUAL to root/unlock. That went without a hitch but I think I went too far. Once I was at the TWRP screen and was looking at the buttons for wiping I went ahead and wiped everything, one at a time. Now I am stuck at the note II screen. I can get into download mode. The Note II screen just sits there staring at me. I'm not in a loop at all.
Did I completely wipe everything off my phone? LOL. I'm downloading multiple restore/roms as I type this.
I don't think I would call this a bricked phone other than saying I squishy bricked it, kinda like a nerf brick. that I put in the freezer. it still hurts but it'll be ok I'm sure.
Anyway. Before I go further I would like some advice as how to proceed.
I'm not looping at the Note II screen, it just stays there. Thus why I think I wiped everything off of it.
Thanks in advance, and yes you can call me a blockhead if you feel the desire.
Gonk
When you wiped, it wiped system and this is why it doesn't boot. Always make a backup first.
You have 2 options:
1. Download and factory restore with ODIN. Look at the stickies. There are restores that do not relock the bootloader and do not wipe data.
2. Download a custom ROM and use ADB to push it to the SD card in TWRP. This requires a little more know how but can get you up and running a little quicker.
Good luck!
Thanks

Only problem here is my inability to boot into TWRP. I can get into ODIN download mode and that is it. I keep reading the warnings of using ODIN after using CASUAL. Now I'm a little worried.
These are the only 2 screens I can get to, besides the note II hang.

Nope I'm using the VOL DOWN, power and home.
I just did your suggestion and get the System software not authorized blah blah, go to the nearest VW store.
Rut row. Now what. Guess I should do more reading.
Used imnuts Alt restore file. It got me back into my phone, bless you imnuts.
My phone is back to 4.1.1. Now to get back to 4.1.2
How does one get back to stock 4.1.2? I tried imnuts stock image but it seems to just keep me at 4.1.1
If I have to flash the modem and GPS to be the same than so be it.
OK, I took the OTA. I'm back to 4.1.2. Sorry to be all panicking about my phone. I was worried I was going to brick this in a bad way.
Because of all this I am so very thankful to all involved. This took me some searching and a lot of reading.
Now I will retry CASUAL and not mess it up lick I did the first time.
glad you got it back, remember VOL UP = Recovery VOL DOWN = Download mode.
Yup yup.
Thanks Eris.
BTW, turn off your antivirus program when running CASUAL.
I'm good and very happy I finally got the dang thing rooted with SU installed. Now I can finally back up the whole thing and start freezing the bloat.
It's a good day
I tip my hat to all of you devs. Good job guys. :good:

You can't get back to 4.1.2 using Odin, you have to unlock and flash back to a 4.1.2 ROM or take the OTA.
Edit:
Damn I was late, I didn't even notice the second page. Woops.

This is what happen been messing with it going back and forth between Jasmine and stock. Well I flashed the stock .tar with odin and then it won't read my sim card anymore and I can't get flashfire to work. The phone status shows custom no matter what I do. Have odin the OB6 and OF1 stock shows an unlocked lock saying custom on boot screen..I did triangle away and that went away for a little bit then came back after a few restarts. And when I root it fails, when I did have the root I'm the stock it wouldn't let me flash. I'm kinda lost now, anyone have any ideas?

Sorry, but if you can't flash any official firmware with odin looks like a motherboard problem to me.

Did you try to go to recovery and wipe cache partition then wipe data/factory reset ?

I can flash the official firmware..that's what it's on with it saying it's custom. That's why I'm not understanding. I did wipe those.

I flashed on Odin the stock one, should t that revert the firmware? If not what do I do?
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
I take it this is also causing my sim card problem as well. It does not say insert sim card or anything, only when I go to the mobile data toggle it says to insert one.

Stock 1?
You should flash the original firmware from keis or from this page :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900V/
and start all over again, that should fix your problems.

Btw I wanted to say thank you for helping me out with this. I've been rooting and all this since my eris so I know how it goes and This stuff happens. It's not the first time I've had a problem similar to this. I've tried everything I could think of like 5 times today for the last 8 hours or so tho

I believe that's from verizon or Knox when using the root method of 1.tar and 2.tar, try this one instead : http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/ob6-of1-n900v-note-3-verizon-oneclick-t3333569 after you back to original stock, this is the best method so far, and you will not get any strange warnings.
Ya it is, Knox

Yeah I did and it's still says custom..wouldn't let me root. Thing is is that pop up was Knox and said to reset I think that would set it back, cause before I flashed the firmware from SM I did a factory wipe then I'm download mode it said official..but after I flashed the firmware it says custom again lol. I'm gknna. I'm setting the phone back up now and waiting to see if that pops up again. My sim card hasn't been in the phone pretty much all day. Been in my g3. since the note won't read it as of now and yes I've tried putting pressure on the sun cause I know they had problems my other 2 old note 3's had that problem. This happen last Night when I was messing around before bed that's why I didn't mess with it too today.. Sorry and thank you guys for the help again

Don't do anything yet after flashing , you still have your old data on the phone, now go to recovery and do some wipes, wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset and that should fixed.
