Bought a rooted phone - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Long story short had to buy another note 2 after mine took a swim. Bought another note 2 off Craigslist. Totally forgot to check to see if it was rooted. Tried signing in my google account and it wont sync anything or load up the google play store. All the google apps force close constantly and I'm unable to sync my contacts. The google play store keeps telling me there is no connection. Help!

Root will not cause it to function like this. The first thing I would try is to do a factory reset. This will make sure everything is erased. If that doesn't work, look at the stickies and use ODIN to restore the phone back to 100% stock. As long as the phone has a clean ESN, this should make everything 100% perfect.
Good luck

Its a custom recovery on here. Clockwork I believe.

OK? You can still factory reset with a unlocked rooted phone.

"Unsupported Device" Google Wallet works JUST FINE!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RVmiPIGeF4&hd=1&list=PLDE03959E8AD704DA
Yeah, I even ran the RUU that Football posted, without wiping my Google Wallet data first. Why? Because I did it before the thread was posted.
I followed the directions that were posted here, and my Google Wallet worked fine. Then I rooted, and made this video!
I flashed viperboys de odexed and it messed up my wallet .
Than realized I backed it up via titanium restored data and it was perfect well says not supported device but 10$ is back

I don't think anyone made the claim that unsupported error made your wallet not work. The error everyone is talking about is the "secure element has stopped working" which is a complete different one and it DOES mean that you will NOT be able to use the secure NFC capabilities ever.
The Unsupported Device error only comes up when you have root and has no effect on functionality.
EDIT: While this is awesome and shows people that the unsupported error is nothing, anyone that wants to keep wallet functionality and flashes ROMs should do the following before flashing anything:
Launch Google Wallet
Hit menu button> Settings> Reset Google Wallet

Everyone that said that gwallet work for them and is rooted, when you open your gwallet it doesn't say unsupported device on top? Because if it does then your gwallet is not working.

Here (and my Reply). There are SEVERAL more, and I could spend all day finding posts like I qouted and linked to above. THAT'S WHY I made the video. Not because of the whole (NOT RESETTING GOOGLE WALLET) Thing, and then it not wanting to work. I just stated that I ran the RUU without resetting google wallet, followed directions, and got it to work just fine. Have I made my point?
All it probably means is that google will not secure problems with unsupported devices. So basically if your rooted and you use google wallet they want none of the liability. You SOL if you loose your phone.
no se error
So I acadently forgot to reset my wallet before wiping my system and data like 5 time and I booted everytime and I forgot to reset it before flashing vipers Rom and I have yet to receive that error. So is everyone that says it get broken have proof on the EVO or are they going on the proff from the nexus?

i do perfer cmx due to it having jellybean, i'm still new to this so after i flash cmx how would i go about pushing the right apk file??? as always thank you for any help
Someone has to supply an edited apk from the root of the file system you then over write the file and change the permissions and reboot, of course some one could always provide the full apk and you can uninstall the market version and install the modified. A CMX nightly is supposed to be coming out with a fix soon

well thats some good news, one stop shop for me then i guess, thank you all who have helped, i guess i'm just gonna have to watch for cmx updates now
The problem is they mentioned the fix like a week ago lol i guess I gotta be more patient.
Edit: you could always flash back to sense enable wallet, back up data for wallet account, reset wallet ( from inside the app, its the only way) and then flash back and just restore app data. I would have done it by now if I wasn't so lazy

hahaha, between lazyness and not knowing, i mean even with all the vids and discussions and staying up way late reading everything i can i still needed help just rooting my phone i'm lucky one of the guys at the store i go to was doing his at the same time and helped me with mine
Its takes patience which is why I'm surprised I didn't run into any problems. Then again I have a good grasp on most of the theory. I can very easily trouble shoot most problems with out having to read up in anything, the procedures are what vary but I can still point people in the right direction about 85% of the time
Just thought something and I need to confirm
In the Evo 4g lte themes and apps subforum here, there is a thread about wallet. There is a link there for one from modaco website. DL it, move it to system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. Doesn't matter what ROM or version you're using. I used it on sense 1.13 and now on AOKP.
via xda premium on my AOKP'd Evo LTE
Haha that's the one I was talking about, I just didn't know how recent it is and right now I'm too lazy to hop on over and check, also nope I knew my idea wouldn't work and just had to see it through lol

[Q] Need a little assistance.

Heya, Im still a bit new to rooting my phone seeing as this is my first Android.
A few months ago I got interested in rooting to see what I could do, so I stumbled on galaxys2root.com and managed to root my phone with the zedomax stock kernal. No big deal. Well now that ICS is out I am wanting to update to a new kernal with a mod. So I asked a friend of mine what I should go with and he gave me a few options seeing as he is quite knowledgeable on this subject.
I managed to get Siyah kernal running with the latest CM9 nightly, Im pretty sure I screwed up something because after everything rebooted pretty much everything on my phone crashes. I can make and receive calls just fine and connect to wireless networks, but I cant use sms/mms and about 90% my apps crash and when in CWM It wont let me connect to mass storage.
Can anyone direct me to the best way to get my phone back to stock/near stock so I can re-root or try to install the kernal/mod again?

Whatever you do. Please do not go back to galaxys2root.com ever again. That site has caused many problems to those attempting to root their phone. On another note. Take a look at the development section of this forum and become familiar with the stickies. There will be threads on how to bring your phone back to stock. Good luck and happy flashing!

For future reference, you can set Google to sync your personal info when you first configure your phone, or through settings. And if you go into the Contacts application, in settings you can select import/export, and then export to sdcard. That can be reimported from the sdcard after a wipe, so now you have two ways to save contacts. Neither requires root.

I need help with my brothers Samsung Galaxy SII

So he wanted me to root his Samsung Galaxy SII and I did that and threw the first ICS ROM I saw on there. So I flashed Neutrino ROM on his phone and it worked fine and I noticed that he had no contacts.
Well I was like crap! And went to put it into recovery and restore the nandroid backup I had and it was bricked when I turned it off and I couldn't turn it on.
So I eventually fixed it and it's on some stock firmware but he still doesn't have any contacts.
I copied his entire Internal SD card to his computer, is there any way to recover the contacts?
I only learned after I deleted his phone that he had all of his contacts stored on the phone itself and not through google or his SIM.
I think the answer is "impossible" but if there is any chance I could fix his phone that would be cool.
' fix his phone ' is not the right term in my opinion.
What you could try is just doing an advanced restore of the nandrois backup with the data while using a STOCK rom but seeming as though I've never had this problem I'm not sure that it will work.

I tried to reboot into recovery and the phone stopped working and became bricked. I finally flashed a ROM on there with Odin but now the back and search buttons don't work and he can't make or receive phone calls.
I know it was the wrong ROM but I can't find the right one either especially for Odin restores.
Is your brother more physically developed than you? If so I recommend buying him a new phone and going around all his friends and getting their contact numbers. If not, pretend like he never gave you the phone and call him crazy.
Honestly, your explanation of the problem, like most threads, sucks. Nobody can help you unless they know exactly what you did, just try and restore the backup you made. You made it in CWM right? If you can't make or receive phone call though, that sounds like a worse problem. Wipe the phone and flash a stock ROM, that's the best advice anyone can give with the information you've supplied.
If contacts were synchronised with google you should be able to download them from google account. Hope this help.

Cant dwnload or update apps from Google Play

Hi guys and geeks, its time to work your magic and fire up your amazing brain cells. I am totally new here and its my first post, so please dont be that hard at me if ill screw something up
So my problem is after a 2 weeks usage of international version of my SGS3 i got a big problem. It started totally from nothing, to be specific it stopped through day.
Yesterday morning i was updating 1 app from Google play and i left my phone on desk.
I got back to it in evening and found out that 4 apps cannot be updated from unknown reason. I tried manual start of download- nothing, it will not start to download. just rolling the bar. I also found that i cant download any new app from GPlay.
I made a factory reset of phone today. Set it up, and its ready to go. IT STILL CANT DOWNLOAD THAT APPS. Why? Wifi is working normally (ONLY WIFI), can browse websites and so on.
Anyone help ??
Goto settings/Application manager/Google Play Store and select clear data and cache then see if it works.
Just google server problem mybe. Just wait
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I cleared data cache already,and it doesnt worked. Server problem? HUH.... maybe.... Though i highly doubt its server problem because i was asking a few my friends with android phones about this and their market is ok.
So got any ideas? Cuz im now stuck with empty phone after fact.reset and i cant work on it though.
Bump! Any suggestions?
Goto App manager again and uninstall updates.
Nope, i also combined it with phone restart. It cant download apps or update them.
go to settings, accounts and sync, remove google account. Add account again and it should work.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Did it twice now. Result? Phone likes to roll bars. But thats all he wants to do. Still cant start download.
So i contacted Samsung Customer Support about this and i described it at whole. The guy said he would do exact same thing and i have done good. He gave an advice of taking out the battery for 15 mins - it would reset the device and pull it in and try. Still nothing.
Any idea out there? Because if i will not be able to do more, im sending this damn phone to for service repair because i have 2 years warranty. This is truly f*cking unbelievable. My first Android device. Upgraded from HTC HD2. 600€ phone. Crap.
Had a similar problem a few days back where it just gave an error message. Went into settings / all apps and cleared data from Google services framework. Rebooted and it was fixed.
Edit: just remembered, the above solution may have helped but it didn't completely fix my problem. Had to reboot into recovery, the in the advanced tab had to run 'fix permissions ', then all was fine. Only thing I could think of that may have caused the problem was flashing and testing cm10 before restoring my backup.

Tried Google Service Framework, didnt helped.
So i got into that recovery mode but there was no advanced tab. Only something like reboot now, wipe cache, wipe partition, factory reset .. Tried Wipe cache, and so on... Didnt helped....
Check your memory. Make sure there's at least 600-700mb left. My S3 kept giving me update errors whenever my internal memory fell below 500mb

Well if you want to start fresh, flash a CF root kernel and wipe cache, dalvik, system and then a factory reset. Flash a new rom after that. Don't reboot your recovery while doing this because you've wiped 'system' . What ever problems you had should have gone. I normally follow this procedure to make sure for a full wipe
Hope this helps

Sir, i have truly no idea what are you talking about, im just getting that i have to load onto phone some loader and then flash some new rom which im 100% not going to do since i have fresh 2 year warranty and im not planning to break it.
I have already decided. Im calling authorized service center about details for sending my phone to get repaired. Either they will fix it, or ill get a new phone. Only good and Better.
So after few frakking days im back...

Hi, I had the same problem as you and I 'fixed' it by Stopping the 'Downloading' rolling bar and then resuming it. I found that fixes it
Let me know if this works :good:
I wanted to try it but there is no pause button though, look for yourself

All right, there has to be a way to get this working since I had the same problem too
Try this :
Turn your phone off and on
Open Play Store and go into the screen where it says "X Updates available" and they are listed in rows
Click Update All and then the blue loading line starts to animate. Wait for a few seconds then click the X next to the first item that is downloading to stop it
Click Download/Resume again​
It should start downloading.
The above steps worked for me, I got the S3 day before yesterday and I came across this problem for about 10 minutes 'til I did the steps above
Let me know how it goes :fingers-crossed:

Galaxy S3 Stolen, Finding via Google Accounts?

Had my damn phone stolen, some prats smashed my window through and took everything. I've tried installing all of those tracking apps, but it seems my phones either constantly turned off, or has been wiped.
But I've had another idea! One day they are bound to use my phone, and set up another google account with it. I was wondering, is there anyway that I could find out what google account they use?
Thanks
If you've registered your phone in the Samsung account... You will be able to track it from the Samsung my account website..
Have you installed any third party app which provides phone tracking such as cerbrus or Avast? If you have.. It's gonna be a lot more easier.. Hope that the thief's haven't done a full wipe and a factory reset on your phone!
Hope you find your phone back!

they've probably wiped the phone and there's nothing you can do besides have the police track it by imei.

no. you can't find out anything after it's been wiped
PS don't ask any more questions in this section, it's against the rules
Yea I've been down the installing apps route, nothing so far. So I wont be able to see when another google account signs into my device at all?
Keep trying with Plan B, it's probably out of battery, at some point someone will charge it up and turn on. I'd keep trying everytime I had a chance for a week....
