[q] need help with soft brick verizon note 2 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Guys I made a dumb mistake. After trying to install Pinky and the Brain rom coming from another rom, I wiped my internal sd card. Well I downloaded the pinky and the brain rom and put it on an external sd card. the rom shows when I go to install but it shows all the folders, but it doesn't see the rom.zip file. I don't think this is something I have to flash with odin and Casual is out of the question since im rooted, unlocked, and on a custom rom. I am currently have TWRP. do I have to manipulate the pinky and the brain rom. Im sure im missing a step. I don't want to odin back to a stock rom then using casual to get back. is there an easier way.
I use my droid as my main internet source. Now im stuck with a POS sony Erickson experia just to have a working phone and im connecting via 3g..sucks for me lol..seriously what am I doing wrong that my phone is not showing the zip file to install via TWRP.
Again I have no rom on the phone at this point...just to be clear

Did you make a nandroid backup before attempting to flash anything?

Bad idea. ALWAYS nandroid. Download a rom on your comp and use a card reader to transfer it to SD. Then flash it. Idk what else you can do other wise.

Seems you still have access to TWRP correct?
I would then load into it, under advanced, go to sideload. Connect it to a computer with a functioning adb and sideload the zip of the rom you want to flash over.
teamw.in /ADBSideload (that's a URL, I can't put them in posts yet, too new)
I have saved a phone in a similar situation this exact way.
Hope this helps.

I do still have twrp...I'm gonna try to download Scotts rom and put it on sd card and hopefully twrp will see the zip

Why is full wipe needed for root?

So every time I wanna try out a new rom I always go back to stock just because it makes me feel better to start from scratch. But every time I do I have to do a complete wipe on my sd card before I can root. The update.zip file will still be there but I can't root unless I completely wipe the sd then reinstall the update.zip file. Any one know why that is necessary? It gets annoying having to either lose all my data or transfer it to my computer.

You dont have to wipe your SD card to root. Heck if you have the update.zip for clockwork you dont even have to root your phone again just reinstall packages twice and you will be in clockwork. Once you flash the ROM from there you'll have root (considering ofc that the ROM you flash is rooted).
You do NOT have to go back to stock everytime... read my guides. You really only need to do that if you have issues with the new rom. It takes me 30 minutes max to go from one rom to another and be set back up like normal (this includes downloading the rom).

So are you saying that even if I don't see the superuser app im still rooted if I can get into recovery from the stock rom? Id feel like an idiot if this whole time I was deleting and transferring files for no reason this whole time lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You don't need root to load clockwork recovery, I often leave the update.zip for clockwork on my sd card and when I odin back to jfd I then reinstall packages from recovery, get into clockwork recovery and choose the zip I want to flash
I usually use z4 root when I need to root my phone on Eclair.
Im an idiot. I was only looking for the superuser app to know if im rooted or not

Stuck on cwm recovery help

Just what the title says. It doesn't matter what rom I flash or try to go to a back up ... when I hit reboot system now it brings up the Asus splash then right to cwm recovery. Any ideas fellas? :beer:
No roms or back ups are working.
I was doing a factory reset from settings, went back to my prime and was on cwm recovery.

The only ****ing device I've bricked! And! The only device I've had where I didn't think it needed to be rooted or a custom rom. I had to root it, unlock it and put a custom recovery on it. What a dumb ass I am. I'll figure this out but a little help would be nice peeps!

When you go to install from SD check both /download paths for the internal zip.

I checked every path that it lets me check. The problem was that I didnt download directly from my Prime. I had downloaded it onto my computer and then copied the file to the external SD Card, and CWM does not let me get to the external sd card, only internal memory...
And no, not a dumb question but dumb answer, I did not make a nandroid backup because I'm a [email protected] and forgot. I was just following the instructions late last night and didnt even think about the back up.
*EDIT* I was able to get ADB to work, and it recognizes my tablet... Anyone know how I can push the file onto my tablet? I don't know the directory I should put it in.

Put the rom zip file in the same directory as adb, then do this:
adb push [name of rom].zip /mnt/sdcard/
Go back to CWM and you should see the rom on your sdcard. There is a pretty good walk through of adb here:

[Q] Flashing to obtain memory swap

Hey guys,
I've been lurking for a little while now and reading up on steps I need to follow to swap my internal and external memory, but I wanted to clarify something to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong. First off, I have a Verizon Note 2 that I rooted using Odin and running "Jelly Beans build.1 VRALJB 4.1.1 by Beanstown106". That's as far as I've gone thus far. I tried just using directory bind to install apps to my external micro sd card, but that program has too many issues to use reliably. Apps were forcing close and the app itself was glitching. I've decided to run a memory swap mod, but from what I've gathered, I'll need to unlock the bootloader and flash a new rom. So here's my plan (please let me know if there's some flaw in it):
1) I'll unlock the bootloader using AdamOutler's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043636
2) I figured the next easiest step would be to just flash a custom rom that includes the memory swap in it inherently, like the angelROM TouchWiz debloat build here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055073&nocache=1
Thanks for any info you folks can provide. This is my first time jumping into advanced Android modifying and I'm nervous about mixing the wrong builds/roms and bricking my phone.
P.S. One last thing: Does anyone know if AFTER having run the mod to swap memory, if you can transfer all the data to a new (larger) memory card and swap them out? I have a 32 GB card but intend to get a 64 GB one in the next few days. Can I flash the angelROM build now and then just swap them when I get the larger card or will that cause issues?
There shouldn't be any issue as long ss you turn off the phone and then remove the 32GB SD and use your computer to handle the swap. It wont break anything if the phone is on but it'll make it act a smidge wonky imo.
Also: http://db.tt/NtrxYbU8
Its a zip that will switch the sd card positions. This isnt my original work but I use it because it works no questions asked.

Thanks so much for the info! I'm still a little nervous about whether or not I'm missing a step between unlocking the bootloader and then jumping into the "memory swap ROM" immediately. Can anyone verify that my plan is correct and whether or not the angelROM w/ memory swap mod is OK on our Verizon Note 2's?
As long as you use the angelROM for the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 Development section you will be fine. After unlocking the bootloader via Adam's process you should have TWRP recovery, which will allow you to fladh the rom.
Download the rom to either your internal storage or your external storage.
Extra: from what I have been told flashing modem's (new radios) that leak will screw up the current ROM you are using. So if new radios leak anytime soon and you are still running the sd card swap you will need to undue that if you plan to flash them.
Extra 2: I can't vouch for it myself because I'm having my own problems after undoing the zip file i shared, but I know undoing the zip is as easy as using root explorer to delete the alteration in the init.d file under etc, so theres that.
Tl; dr: after you unlock the bootloder you are good to run the swap.

Great, thanks again for all your help! I'll give it a go tonight. I'm actually fairly techie and have hacked many devices in the past, but I feel like modding Android devices is probably one of the toughest yet. There are just so many variations of rom builds and hacks, coupled with the confusion of WAY too many android devices and specifics for different carriers... It's hard keeping everything straight. Thanks again! :good:
Omg this is a God sent post! Ok so I have the 16gb and I only have 2gigs left lol,... Ok but what happens when you flash a new rom or an update from Verizon comes out am I going to have to revert back and be tranfering data each time? Will recovery recognize the memory swap? After the memory swap will I have to move or copy everything over before or after the swap, if after how will it boot if it thinks it's OS is on the memory card now.... If I revert back does that mean the OS needs to be copied back to internal memory before the swap... Ughhhh this is too much but I LOVE my phone and there is no other way I have to get this working... I really hope they improve this method

So to answer some questions:
It will revert back to normal between roms. Thats why I recommend using the zip I posted. Again its not my work and I am not taking credit for it. But that zip can be applied to any rom.
You should worry more about losing the bootloader and root under new software because most likely that will happen.
I suggest doing a clean install with the swap, and not installing apps. Otherwise you will have to move stuff manually.
Rom will continue to work if you want to remove the init.d file but most likely have sd card issues as I am seeing. Instagram doesnt recognize I have an sd card in. Its hit or miss and in now way reflects the owners work, its the nature of the beast unfortunately.
Hope that helps
EDIT: The zip isnt rom specific, whereas angelROM is specifically for that rom

Ok so when those custom ROM's have an update that requires it to boot into recovery am I going to have to revert back or will the recovery recognize that the memory has been switched and apply whatever update like normal inside of recovery? Thanks for your help

Lets say you use cyanogen right? And a new version of the rom comes out. It will recognize whatever is currently your external and internal, but when you flash a new rom it will revert back to original paths.

That I am unsure of. Because data wipes everything I believe it would get rid of the init.d file so it woukd revert back to normal, but I'm not 100% sure on that

Ok, so I followed the steps I detailed in my OP and everything went pretty well. I'm running angelROM v4 and wanted to update to the v6 that was posted but I'm unable to boot back into recovery mode now... After initially unlocking, I made a nandroid backup in TWRP, but now I can't seem to get back into recovery mode. I power off and hold volume - & power but the phone just boots back up normally. Is there something I'm missing here? Does flashing a new rom remove the TWRP recovery option or something?
Never mind. I apologize if I wasted anyone's time with this. I figured out I can reboot into recovery mode by using Rom Toolbox. I just figured there would be a shortcut that would allow me to do it without it also.
Ok so your not able to use the power + up key combination like normal?

You know, I never saw in any of my searching any indication that "volume + & power" was the correct key combination to boot to recovery. Everything I found said that to boot into recovery mode in TWRP, you need to use "volume - & power", not volume +. I'll give that a go. Thanks!
By the way, I'm just about ready to give up on this whole memory swap mod thing. Has anyone gotten it working without issues? The angelROM I posted about earlier worked but when apps were installed they didn't get allocated to the correct memory. For example, I first attempted to install some of my backups from Titanium Backup Pro, and when I did that, the apps installed to the (switched) "card" memory. Which, of course, is pointless, since the whole idea is to get them to install on the external sd card so the device can hold more apps. I initially figured this was probably a limitation with restoring apps in Titanium Backup, so I tested installing some apps directly from the google play store. When I did that, those apps ended up taking up memory on BOTH storage locations. Example: EXT MEM had 10 GB and INT MEM had 4 GB before I installed a 1 GB app. AFTER installing that app, my EXT MEM had 9 GB and my INT MEM had 3 GB.
At that point I figured it was probably an issue with the angelROM itself so I ditched it and moved on to Bean's Revision 4 (which I like the look of more anyway). That happens to have a "memory swap" option so I enabled that and I'm getting the EXACT same issues. So my question is this: has anyone been able to use the memory swap mod and install apps on the external sd card WITHOUT the app taking up equal space on the internal storage? If so, what did you do to get it to work?
P.S. I'd post these questions in the angelROM thread or bean's revision 4 thread, but being new here, my post count is still too low to ask questions on the development boards. Thanks!

Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

how to uninstall crom for a new one

i tried looking on how to uninstall my crom but only found how to do it for install of stock roms
im currently running Jelly Beans for the Verizon Galaxy S3 and im wanting something that actually UPDATES XD
so im currently downloading CM11, but i dont remember how to uninstall my rom
would i need to just factory reset and wipe the 3 caches or just dalvic?
sorry for noob post
Crom? Guessing a spelling error
I assume you have a custom recovery like clockwork? If so this should be your steps
Download cm11 + gapps and put on root of sdcard (not in any folders)
Boot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Wipe all you can
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot
Profit

May have been a bad download, check the md5sum
Also make sure you have the newest recovery as KitKat changed a few things
Or simply try a jelly bean rom

im using twrp 2.4.3.0 but i have no way connecting my sd card now. its not working within recovery and my old phone isnt connecting either
best part is i made a nandroid, but cant restore because i JUST lost the sd card
In the file manager from twrp can you see your SD or does it refuse to mount?
You can always go to advanced settings and use adb sideload to install
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
adb sideload gapps.zip

*edit* and i dont have my backup on the sd card, just my pc. and icant access it .... so im without a phone until i get a sd card reader
ok i got cyanogenmod 10.2 to work but not something is weird with my LED notification,its not longer blue, its a mix of colors but basically its white, how do i change it back> i dont see anything in the settings
Well I believe you need twrp 2.6.x for SELinux support so no KitKat Roms for now, but you should be happy with 10.2
As for your led question I don't have your phone nor have I used a cm ROM in a long time so I can't answer for sure if there is a setting. But I would assume there is. If you can't find it there are apps in the market that may help, back when I believe I used one called lightflow or something on an old phone, try that or ask in the ROM specific thread as a user there would know better than I
Glad all is working
