Alright so long story short I tried to rush through rooting my new phone here without checking everything out too much (complete fail on my part...but I wanted it rooted before I went out to the bars to save some battery life haha...ironic, now I'll have no phone tonight).
I went to root it and it somehow got screwed up...the sense launcher wasn't showing up along with the fact that when I pulled down the notification bar and hit settings, it crashed, so I went to unroot it with the RUU 1.13.651.1 and when I got to the comparison screen it said I had 1.13.651.1_R2...and being already frustraited at this point, decided how worse could it get? Tried it out, not my brand new phone is stuck at the black htc screen....fail.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I tried running it again to no avail...I'm about to try the other RUU to just see if it works, but I'm running out of other ideas. Anyone that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

he could try to unlock his bootloader, manually flash the recovery and flash a rom thru there ^_^

Not that hard if he actually takes his time and reads before doing anything. If he can unlock the bootloader with htcdev and flash a recovery he should be ok

Easy. Hold the volume buttons down while you turn the phone on then choose to reformat or restore or whatever the option is.

Well, the good news is the phone is not hard bricked, it has a soft brick and is recoverable. Redownload the RUU and try again, but make sure you have the correct one. If that doesn't work you'll have to unlock with htcdev, flash a recovery and flash a ROM. Then try the RUU again if you no longer want root.
Like others have said...it sounds like there is hope for your phone yet. Take your time and CAREFULLY follow instructions for whichever process you choose. Hopefully you post again later saying you were able to fix it.
apparently he doesn't care that much... he hasn't checked back recently...

First off don't feel too bad, No matter how sure you know what your doing we all make mistakes. I paperweighted mine while manually installing some mods last night. If you would of watched the how to RUU the evo lte you would of seen that that the black HTC screen is perfectly normal. The phone will sit on that screen for like 10 minutes sometimes it will reboot and sometimes you will get differnt screens. The key is to have the drivers handy and install them if ur PC ever calls the device android 1.0.
The RUU version 1.13.651.1_R2 is the one you should be using. As scary as it is you just need to be patient, and let the RUU run it may look like nothing is happening but something is.

Hello guys,
I know that it is probably the best place to share my issue. I have an HTC Leo (HD2) with dorimanx ROM. I have been using it for 6 months already (with Android). Yesterday, while my phone was charging, I have noticed some suspicious activity, my phone was bugging and freezing, didn't want to run applications, was very slow. Then it just froze up and I've done a battery pull. I thought there is something wrong with my phone. But, I have been mistaken. After an hour, my phone was still charging & was lying on the table next week while I was on computer. It just unlocked itself, then went to youtube, launched some video, went to related, comments, then launched another video. My phone was using mobile 3g network. then it went & turned on wifi, there was no available wifi spots. after that it went to cpu tuner, changing the min and max frequencies at the same time, I mean holding both scrolls of min and max freq and lowing them. For example, I can hold both min and max scrolls changing them, only one by one. After that it tried to add a new google account. Then I have just turned off my device again with battery pull. So, as for now I am not using any internet and my device is not getting messed up, at least, I have not noticed. I have erased all history and cookies in the browser. I have a 2 step verification on google, which is linked to this phone. I don't know what's happening. PLEASE HELP ME GUYS, I have though ab factory reset. How can I make it without reinstalling the dorimanx ROM itself. Waiting for your replies and advices, as I AM REALLY FREAKED UP! Thank you ALL!:silly::silly::silly::silly:

Your neighbors, or your friends, They will always stay by your side.
I am actually using CyanogenMod 7, dorimanx ROM. I have reflashed my device a couple of times, but never done factory reset. What will happen after factory reset? Will I keep my ROM configuration, will all my apps be erased? Cauze when it comes to reflashing - it is really difficult, I again to read all the posts, create SWAP and many many things, that I don't want to do again. This ROM was working perfectly till that sh*t happened yesterday.

You can set up an unlock password (you will type when you unlock the phone)
or if you use icecream sandwich, Use face unlock.
Of course, they will stay by my side, but at that time they were not there to take their phone & catch the action going on on my phone. I have now turned my mobile network on & I am prepared, wish me good luck catching the action so I can show this to all of you.

I have got a video, 5 mins of suspicious activity, here comes the question, how can I post a video here?
You have a ghost in your house!
But nah, Did u have bluetooth on?
I'd be willing to bet its the charger. I've heard of this happening before and it was a faulty USB cord/port. Try a different cord if you can and see if the problem persists. I know it sounds crazy but I've heard the exact same issue before and that was the problem. There is no such "hack" sophisticated enough to control your phone like that.

And for the guy above me, I think that may be that. It never turned on the screen by itself, but it had a touch bug ( with my old X10 MP) where it would register random touches OR LOTS of touches on a single place

Hi folks.
This is my first post here. I've been through the "noob's guide" and stuff but to be honest it's all WAY above my head. I'm just not a techy type. Anyway, thing is, I have a Note 717 and Samsung just "updated" it to the new 4.0.4 OS. I loved it before, it was great, but now I've got all kinds of problems and I really want to go back to the old OS if possible. It was working brilliantly before and I wish to heck I'd known what it was going to do when the upgrade notice came up because I'd have hit 'cancel' faster than you can say it. Now it's slow, it crashes, it's lost a bunch of my stuff, yadda yadda.
I understand that I might have to "root" it to reinstall the old OS, but I haven't got a clue where to begin and, to be honest, I'm scared to death of killing an expensive phone.
So anyway I just wondered if there's anyone willing to wet-nurse a complete, green-as-grass newcomer and help me through this process? Be warned first though; I'm really not that great with computers and may ask a lot of very stupid questions. I beg your forbearance.
So anyway if someone could please help me I would be very grateful indeed.
Thanks in advance.
Sandy.
Sandy,
When you did you up rage it probably wipe all you data right?
My first step for you would be to do a factory reset and see if the issue you are experiencing get resoleved.
Do you know how to get to your settings?
If so, look around in there and do a factory reset.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Oddly, my data appears okay. But now the phone's painfully slow and crashes frequently. The new email client is dogs**t, I get a "process has stopped" message every time I power it up, the interface has become user-unfriendly and some of my widgets and apps are missing. It's just RUINED this phone that I was so enjoying having.

I can find that, yes, but I don't want to go erasing all my data, it took me forever to get it all in there. Is there another way of backing it up than sending it to Google?

One of the apps on your Note is called Kies or Kies air. Use this to backup your data.
Then do your factory reset.
Sorry I do not have Kies but if needed I will try to assist.

Hooray! Kies actually performed the backup flawlessly (that's a new feature in my experience). The only way I can get Kies to work is with an older version, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

I can certainly relate to being hesitant to root your phone and start installing g custom ROMs, I had mine almost 3 months before I did which is a long time on a stock Samsung ROM for me. Try watching some of the tutorial videos on YouTube, they helped me a lot when I started with my Captivate. I particularly like the ones from Mobile Tech Videos but I'm not sure if there are any from them for the Note. Hope you're able to get it sorted out.

Not sure what to tell you. I do not have that on my build.
Is it just a question?
There is another way to do the factory reset. I will try to find it.
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------
Ok here is another method.
1) power off the phone.
2) hold down the up and down volume buttons at the same time. And while holding them down press the power button
3) the phone will start and you will feel it vibrate. Release the power button, only the poer button
4). You should be in recovery mode.
5) select to do the wipe data/ factory reset
6) let your phone do it's thing
Set up the phone and see if it runs better.
This is a pain in the ass to type on an iPad.

Thanks for passing that over. I'm going to give it a try. Do you know if this will restore it to the Android 2.3.6 or did the update fundamentally alter the phone so that it's always going to be 4.0.4? Holy cow I really hope it comes up 2.3.6!!!
I'll let you know what happens post-reset. Thanks again for all your help.
Cheers,
Sandy.
This will keep ICS but put it back to the all default setting and remove all apps that are not part of the upgrade package you installed.
Let's see how this works for you before going back to GB.

Right I think I've got the hang of the names... ICS is version 4.0.4 and GB is 2.3.6 right? Forgive me if this seems elementary to you - but its all new to me!
I don't want to sound like a Luddite but there's so much I dislike about ICS that I really want to go back to GB. The functionality was way better, the phone was faster, it didn't crash, it performed like I expected it to, the interface made sense... and so on. So I'm eager to get started on transitioning back to the former OS. I don't know how busy everyone here is, but I'm going to take the USB cable to work and maybe I can get into it there. I pretty much just answer the phone these days, so I won't get into trouble, don't worry!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!
Sandy.
A factory ROM and fast be it GB or ICS don't belong in the same sentace.. if you tried a nice vanilla ROM such as CM9 you might be surprised what a fast phone really is.
Sandy, stock roms tend to be full of bloat software that will reduce the performance of any phone. Gb as you say worked better because is a more mature os than ics. So if you decide to root your phone make sure to try a custom ics rom which may be fast and stable and your phone will stay on game with the newer stuff instead of using an older os.

It hasn't crashed since the reset and restore that I did 1½ hours ago, but it hasn't done anything else either (well, except turn on the GPS without asking me haha). No email, no calls, no texts - and that's very unusual because I normally get a lot of those throughout the day. I hope it's not indicative of a problem, but I understand that it's a work-in-progress.
Slight update: The Wi-Fi is working, that's a good thing.
Thanks again!

I'm afraid the only way to revert back to GB is more technical than a simple factory reset and involves using Odin to flash back.

So after i traded my old (10 days SGSII) with this one (SGSII again) the phone went again down(shutdown - can't unlock, nothing), and today it went down again. So i start to wounder if the problem really is the SIM card that is causing the phone to go down? Its the 2nd SGSII with the exact same problem. This time this one lasted 4 days without going down!
I live in Portugal and in the past year(maybe 2-3 years) Vodafone is alerting people to change the SIM cards to the new ones that support 4G. My SIM card is around 5-8 years old. Any of you could confirm if my SGSII is really going down due to some incompatibility with the old SIM card or i just have really bad luck and in 2 SGSII got the exact same problem?
Thanks guys, and please answer only if u are 100% sure of what your talking about
I'm using stock ICS 4.0.4. I didnt changed absoluty anything in the ROM.

Anyway, you might wanna flash a new ROM.
And what's that trading old SII for a newer SII all about?
If you flash it with a new from and it still shouting down.... then I would advise u to ask for a refund from the company.... cause like they have faulty phones
Why flash a new rom? I'm using stock rom... I don't want to void warraty and im waiting for JB official Just dunno why 2 phones same problem.. i start to beleive maybe its really the old SIM card...

Youve already created a topic about this exact same issue and exact same device. Creating a second isnt going magically create a solution that suits you.
Reported.
Your issue has absolutely nothing to do with your sim card. Its either your rom or your device.
You also have another topic about an issue with apps closing so your obviously you have an issue and should return your faulty devices and go elsewhere.
So listen to advice given in original thread or ignore it, your choice but either way to not keep creating topics.

And if at least come here give some explanation and not flame about what you don't know dear sir. If it isn't about the SIM card then is some 2 phones that have the same problem from the same store? Just seems a bit of coincidence Thats why i wanted to see if anyone had the same problem cause on google i didnt saw a single case similar to mines

Your issue is either with the person you bought them off giving you faulty hardware or software.
As you have already been advised multiple times, re-flash stock ROM, Factory reset, try other kernel or return devices for refund.

After scouring for two days I am just giving up and asking for help. Here is what happened. I have a At&t Galaxy Note. It was rooted but very glitchy. Kept shutting off, weird lines going through the screen, my camera didnt work. I know for that process I did TWRP and cyanogenmod. I went back to att stock from a forum found here. After I did that I had no google apps anywhere. SO my brother found some gapps.zip thing. He put it on my phone after I had restored back to a previous version that did have them. Now my phone wont stay on for longer than a minute. I cant get it to recognize on my computer. So I cant even try to get into it to see if I can fix anything. Everytime I conntect it, a message pops up that says that it cannot install MTP... Even if I restore again, as I have tried. It is still not letting me use it. Then my brother decided to re root it I guess. And that is all well and fine but i still cant use my phone. I saw something about a .zip that removes gapps but I havent been able to use that as my phone just wont install it in recovery mode. Can someone please please help me!!!!

wow. the first few sentences were making sense, then you just lost it grammar wise and lost me. it would have helped knowing what ROM was on your phone. from symptoms it sounds as if t was a 4.2 ROM with no GAPPS and some serious OC/UV issues.
but you lost me with your English and the "TWRP and CYANOGENMOD thingy" i know what they are obviously, but what you did with them is a HUGE guessing game. one person not knowing what they are doing is bad enough, but two of you.......... cant do that man. kind of like masturbating with someone elses hand man. who cleans up the mess.
absolute clean slate is going to be you best option in my opinion. the "Super Everything Thread" is going to be your new best friend.
read it, live it, learn it......................understand it. put yourself in position to help yourself first.
tutorals on YOUTUBE can help too.
can you get DOWNLOAD MODE?
do you have ODIN?
do you have PDA/ TAR files you need?
you may need to re-install the DRIVERS for phone on computer
there is a glossary in Super thread, that is why i capped these words. key points and things you need to do. its a marathon not a sprint.
go slow, one step at time, understand what you are doing. even rehearse it, i did. be confident in what you are doing. make sure you have files for I717.
read the OP's for ROM's
some need GAPPS (4.2) and some don't (4.1.2) or Touchwiz
the new 4.3 will also need GAPPS and there are 4.2 and 4.3 GAPPS. again make sure you have right files. all the more reason to take your time.
and uh, don't just let someone flash whatever on your phone, that's how you get a BRICK.
good luck and let us know.
if i have stated anything wrong, someone else will be buy to correct.
nothing wrong with how i am telling, others just may have shortcuts.
what you do with it is up to you, i just like to understand what i am doing, cause i will have to fix it.
but keep us posted

Im sorry, Im just really frustrated. My phone was working fine yesterday and now its a very expensive paperweight. And not only that but Im having problems with my laptop. Apparently the hard drive just went clonkers for no reason and now I have to put in a new one. Yes I can get into download mode. Yes I have Odin. Yes I have the PDA/TAR files. I made sure everything was for the sgh i717. I read each process ten times before I did it. I installed my drivers from the Samsung website. I think my problem is that the internal sd card isnt being recognized. When I go into recovery mode, which is CMW btw, it gives me an eemc 07 error message and says it cant mount. When I can get my phone to stay on long enough for thecpu to recognize it it doesnt say sd card just phone memory. I will be sure to read the super everything thread. As for a ROM there isnt one on here. If I try to put one one it wont install and keeps saying that eemc 07 error message. Thanks for responding. Im spiraling in self-pity right now but im determined to get my phone back.
If you get it back to stock, do a complete erase/format, and your still having all these glitches, there's a good chance there's hardware issues. Especially if your not able to see the external SD card etc.
If your the original owner (I.E. you got it from a dealer with a plan), and you can get your counter reset to 0 on stock with these issues still showing up, it might be easiest to take it in and get a replacement. That is, if you have a warranty option available.

Its not the external sd but the internal one. Its just gone... I know that this is the problem at this point. But I have no idea how to resolve that issue. I have no idea where it is or how to get it back. I have been on xda and droidforums for an extreme amount of time trying to find a solution but nothing going. The only way I have seen to reset my counter is to use triangle away. As I cannot even use my phone due to freezing and restarting I cannot even install that app. I am hoping that one person in the wide world has had this problem and fixed it and will read this and tell me how to fix it.
Status 7 means you need to update you recovery

Thanks for all the help. Took it it AT&T. Now my phone is working properly if a slight bit laggy. But at least its working.

so where are you at then?
what does your phone show as running?
settings/about phone
are you just going to leave it or are you still going to pursue customizing?

I'm running 4.1.2 now. I will not be customizing like that for some time. I might think about it later but I'm so glad to have it back I'm just going to enjoy it for awhile.

you know, something going wrong with mine was my biggest worry. when I decide to screw something up, I can really screw something up. so I was very hesitant. it probably took me 2-3 months to get the courage to flash. but that was most likely a good thing. it made me be very thorough in the process.
all I am saying is don't let it completely discourage you. you have time.
glad you got phone back, I know it can be a bit of a scary thing. I have come across an issue or two myself and actually surprised myself by fixing myself. actually a pretty good feeling.
anyway, stick around, there are some pretty amazing folks here.
