Hello,
All of a sudden my front facing camera stopped working. I have tried hard reset, clearing cache, and complete wipe.
Any suggestions? The rear camera is working fine. I believe my daughter downloaded many apps that use the front camera.
Could a file be corrupt?
Thanks for your time,
Melissa

Hmm, well that is the most up to date stock version of everything.
At the moment i can come up with 3 possibilities:
1. App conflict. Basically fallls in line with what you said about your daughter downloading apps. There could be an app that is preventing the front camera from being able to be used. Uninstall other apps and see if it works.
2. Camera issue. This is more on the camera app side of things. There could be something within the app that is causing it to not want to connect. Best advice, run a logcat and see what its telling you. It might shed some light on this issue.
3. Hardware issue. In this case, ordering the front camera assembly online and opening up the device to swap out the parts would solve your problem.
I'd recommend trying a custom ROM or flashing the 141 sbf file, but I'd rather fix the issue at this level instead of having you jump from ROM to ROM or even doing a factory reset with the sbf file.
Hello,
Here is my "logcat.txt" file. I had to compress it. I hope you can open it ok.
Thanks for your time!

Hello Palmbeach05,
I tried a factory reset and nothing changed. In the above post I attached my logcat.txt. How would I flash the sbf file? Thanks for your help.

I did see the logcat, but i've been tied up in working in real life and with an attempted KitKat build for the DX. I will try to sit down over the holiday and take a look at it.
To flash the sbf file, you would need the 141 sbf (should still be up on a few sites, a good place to look is das8nt's download page). If you can't find it, I'll try to upload it so you can download it. You would also need RSD Lite 5.7 and Moto Drivers.
-back up all data (contacts, pics, vids, etc.)
-turn off device
-power on device while pressing vol +
-RSD support will be active on the device.
-open RSD Lite
-load 141 sbf
-connect device to computer
-hit show device
-hit start
Flashing sbf's is a last resort, but might be a quick fix. If you do decide to flash the sbf, make sure all data is backed up on an sd card and removed from the device. Sbf's do a complete wipe of a device and reset it to pure factory settings/status.

Hello again,
I would be willing to try to flash the 141.sbf file, but I am unable to locate it.
There is nothing on the phone that I need to save. Would it be easier to flash the entire ROM?
Thanks again for your help!!

This is the site I got my 141 sbf file from http://das8nt.com/downloads.html
There are also all (or at least most) of the other necessary files to do any kind of modification to the Atrix.
It sounds like you have a completely stock Atrix that has never been modified. Lets see what the sbf does first before we dive into flashing a custom ROM.

no problem. I guess it was hardware related. I looked at the logcat and that was what I was leaning towards, but I didn't want to misinform you and cause a bigger issue with the device.

Hey Guys,
I hate to ask these stupid questions, but the more I research this, the more I am getting confused. I'm hoping someone can put this in laymans terms for me. I have flashed many windows phones with custom roms, and I've even successfully flashed my Streak multiple times. But I want to make sure I am doing everything correctly and get the most bang out of my phone.
Here is what i know:
I know I got Android 2.2; Dj Steve's Streakdroid 1.8.1; clockworkmod v2.5.0.1 and baseband GAUSB1A130500-US.
What I dont know:
How the phone got rooted, i bought the phone rooted (not sure if that matters)
What does a new version of clockworkmod do for me?
What does a new baseband do for me? Which is best?
Is there anything else that I should install/flash to have better experience?
Issues I encounter...
I have to hard reset my phone atleast once a day... My phone locks up, becomes very unresponsive, input lags, or the touchscreen acts funny and wont let me unlock the lock screen (it reads input, but won't allow me to drag the slider up far enough to unlock). Another issue I experience quite often, when I am in a phone call, and another person calls in while I am hanging up, 9 times out of 10, my phone screen will go black except for the notification bar, the phone will be completely unresponsive, the screen will dim, and then it turns off. I have to hold down the on button and reboot it for it to come back to life. one more issue that I encounter, my music library shows folders, but says there is no music.. but if i look in the directories, they are filled with MP3 files...
side note:
I see people bragging about scores in the lower 2000's in quadrant.... I get AT MAX 1400... most of the time its between 900-1200... wtf
Any help would be greatly appreciated
There are a few basebands lying around
305, 309, 318, 319, 322
I haven't had any issues with speed or reseting on 318 or 341
Ok am I correct in assuming that GAUSB1A130500-US = bb 305?

That version was buggy and was replaced with a later official update. You might want to visit:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg
on your phone and getting the 318 update. See this thread at dell support.
I've attached a QR code you can scan with barcode scanner to get the update to your phone.
Since you have clockwork mod installed you will have to flash the stock recovery to the phone before you update.
Another option would be to install one of the Streakdroid Roms. I recommend 1.8.1
You may want to do more reading and get an understanding of what you are doing before you do anything.

You shouldn't need to install the stock rom unless you are having issues with 1.8.1.
Installing latest update package
It took me forever and a day, and 4 different computers to install StreakMod on my Streak so that I could do a nandroid backup.
Is there no way to use StreakMod to use the update I downloaded from the Dell site? If not, how do I get back to stock recovery?
Sorry for the noob questions but I am just getting started....

I'm new to all this. What and how do you use the "barcode scanners" I see here and there?

I've spent the past week since getting this Streak reading all kinds of stuff before attempting to update the 1.6 to 2.2
So far I've seen several ways to do it and am getting more confused.

****************************************
Until yesterday I used several different ROMs, without having any sound problem.
The problem started when I flashed Syiah kernel 1.2.6 (which might be a coincidence), while being on OMEGA-ROM. Thereafter I couldn't hear anything in phone calls any more (but others can hear me) on any ROOTED firmware or ROMs.
Reverting back to Syiah 1.1 (or switching to any other kernel) didn't help, neither did flashing any other rom.
Full wipe (including all storage space) solved the problem temporarlily. But after reboot no sound in phone calls again. Also changing the modem first helped, but the problem re-appeared after the first reboot.
Finally I flashed stock rom (LF2) via ODIN. Now the problem was solved - I believed. I could hear people in phone calls even after several reboots. But as soon as I rooted the phone with CF-Root AND changed some files on /system/media/ui the call sound was gone again after the following re-boot.
I reflashed again to stoch firmware via ODIN and now I have to live with an unrooted phone, which is not the worst thing in the world. But I really would like to be able to use custom ROMs again...
Anyone with similar experiences or with any idea about possible causes and/or solutions???

Can you record sound with other apps?
That should see if its a problem with just the phone apk or a more native problem.

Well, others can hear me but I can't hear them in phone calls. There is no problem with the phone speaker, because I can use viber without problems.

Well, it shouldn't be hardware related, because there is no problem on unmodified stock firmware.

If yes it is not coincidence i think.
Kernel has sound modifications for last version 1.26
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I noticed I had the problem intermittently when I first started using Foxhound on Saturday. Foxhound comes bundled with Syiah.
I thought it was something else all together. I asked in the Foxhound thread and only one other person +1'd my post. Today I switched to Omega hoping it the problem would go away and it was actually worse.
I was testing just now and every time I called my phone I could hear nothing on my handset or through headphones. Just in case I did't accidentally flubbed anything else up I unfroze all the TB apps I had frozen to see if it was working. Interestingly after defrosting and rebooting I can hear again. Attached are the apps I had frozen.
But this has not been the first time it was working correctly and then go back to not hearing calls.

I strive for that. What I would do:
Flash stock rom
Factory reset via stock recovery
flash stock
cfroot
and then check if it is still a problem.
That is why the topic OMEGA asked that the next versions were the stock kernel.
That is why in order to avoid such problems.

Yes, it all started after flashing syiah 1.2.6. So maybe it's not a coincidence after all.

For me it has also been an intermittent problem. Kernel changes, modem changes, wipes, etc often temporarily helped - but only for one boot cycle. A reboot always brought the problem back. Only on stock firmware I can always hear.

I have done exactly that - and the problem is gone as long as you only do these steps. But modifying the system partition in any way (changing, deleting or adding files or flashing custom rom) brings you back to square one.

The sound problem is there even when I restore earlier backups. Now I am on stock firmware and everything is okay.
But I would like to use custom ROMs again with working phone call function, which is not possible for now.
*** via Tapatalk ***
This is the weirdest problem that I have seen here.
Just a status update. I have done some more testing and obviously what makes call sounds not to work is certain changes to the system partition (as compared to stock firmware).
In my case call sound works as long as I am on stock firmware (no matter what stock firmware; I have tested three or four different ones). If I root stock firmware with CF-root I still have call sound. I also can change kernels and it is possible to modify host files with ad-free.
However, as soon as I manually change or modify anything on the system-partition with root explorer or when I install custom ROMs the call sound disappears after the next reboot - no matter what radio I use. I also have tested the radio from the newest malaysian firmware which has surfaced today.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post I unfroze all of the apps and I have not run into the issue. My phone is running Omega 5.2 with Siyah 1.2.6. I'm totally expecting the problem to return but it has not so far. I wish it was consistent and reproducible.

I got that problem myself, the only thing that really helped for me is to
flash my Stock Rom that where on the Phone out of the Box... since 2 Days
the Bug is gone. But havent tried any other Stock Rom.
I want to try Omega 6.0 Rom...(now)
I was thinking about flashing CF-Root and do those steps before custom:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3. In Advanced ---> Format System/Cache/Data (someone tried this before?)
4. Flash the Rom.
My Question is for those guys like me where the only solution is to stay on
non rooted stock rom, have you tried flashing a custom rom with step 3. from above and still encounter the call issue?
I read somewhere that with step 3. the Phone is really FULL WIPE.
Sorry for my bad english :silly:

Well I am not the expert but I will toss in my 2 cents. I have activated a Droid x2 (MB870) on Page Plus. I SBFed back to 2.3.4 (1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US; Oct 11, 2011), rooted with auto DX2Batchroot_2013.v2.exe to apply Android JB 4.1.2 CM10-Alpha3 ROM by DZK.
I am very happy with CM10 right now; it works fine on Page Plus. JB 4.1.2 is a BIG improvement over 2.3 Gingerbread. With that said, I will not be trying out other ROMs for the time being, since I need a working phone.
All other ROMs to my knowledge require SBF back to 2.3.4 except Eclipse 2.3 so you might want to try it first if you are already on 2.4.5(418).
Other ROMs to consider:>> wwwDOTdroidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-roms/
I am satisfied with my Droid x2 since it meets my needs. 1. G3 data to work on PP; 2. Android 4.x after flashing; 3. Great display with guerrilla glass and not too big to fit in my pocket.
Cons are the Nvidia Tegra 2 GPU on it. The Tegra 2 will not be supported anymore so there is no upgrade to 4.4 KK. XBMC v13 will not work on it either. CM10a3 is in Alpha state and further development on it is iffy. Some have said the video does not work well but I have not experience this. There is a slight shutter when selecting videos from the list, but they played well for me.
If you decide to purchase I will be glad to give you tips I compiled since I just did this Mar 2014.
bought it
Ok I bought a new " overstock " Droid X2 it should be here next week. What program do I use to flash this phone? I don't understand "SBF"? Thanks for the help.:good:

System Boot File - SBF
SBF is the System Boot File, an image which restores the phone to its factory state. The latest from Motorola is 2.3.5(1.3.418.MB870.Verizon.en.US; May 8,2012) which is Moto’s Droid x2 version of Gingerbread 2.3 and will probably be what is on your phone. All custom ROMs except Eclipse v2.3 use the earlier Moto release 2.3.4 (1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US; Oct 11, 2011).
I’m curious, how much did you pay for your Droid x2? I took a gamble and picked mine up used, but was very pleased with its condition. I am considering picking up another for cheap .
Rooting and installing was not hard but I spent a lot of time researching finding much of the info dated. Droid hacks were pretty popular in the day so there is much content, but it has shortcomings, so many have moved on. For a 3G phone, which is what I needed, I could not find any better one. My CM10 install did hit a bump by continuously installing with an infinite loop on boot; that cost me some time. I think my fix was to wipe my data in addition to cashe; the first couple of tries when I got the loop I just cleared cashe.
There's some really good information on the Droid x2 in this forum and others. RootJunkyDOTcom seems to be up-to-date and gives good step by step instruction so I suggest checking it out. sd_shadow is another good source to Google. I have other links that I would include but since I am newly registered, I can’t until I have at least posts.
Thanks
I paid $74.09 shipped on ebay. Seems like a fair price. Thanks for the info. My phone should be here on Wednesday. I think Ill go with a 4.1.1 rom. Thanks again.

I have other links that I would include but since I am newly registered, I can’t until I have at least posts.

Well I am not the expert but I will toss in my 2 cents. I have activated a Droid x2 (MB870) on Page Plus. I SBFed back to 2.3.4 (1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US; Oct 11, 2011), rooted with auto DX2Batchroot_2013.v2.exe to apply Android JB 4.1.2 CM10-Alpha3 ROM by DZK.
I am very happy with CM10 right now; it works fine on Page Plus. JB 4.1.2 is a BIG improvement over 2.3 Gingerbread. With that said, I will not be trying out other ROMs for the time being, since I need a working phone.
All other ROMs to my knowledge require SBF back to 2.3.4 except Eclipse 2.3 so you might want to try it first if you are already on 2.4.5(418).
Other ROMs to consider:>> wwwDOTdroidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-roms/
I am satisfied with my Droid x2 since it meets my needs. 1. G3 data to work on PP; 2. Android 4.x after flashing; 3. Great display with guerrilla glass and not too big to fit in my pocket.
Cons are the Nvidia Tegra 2 GPU on it. The Tegra 2 will not be supported anymore so there is no upgrade to 4.4 KK. XBMC v13 will not work on it either. CM10a3 is in Alpha state and further development on it is iffy. Some have said the video does not work well but I have not experience this. There is a slight shutter when selecting videos from the list, but they played well for me.
If you decide to purchase I will be glad to give you tips I compiled since I just did this Mar 2014.

To Merlin11 and dukkha2:
sd_shadow is one of the Titans on the x2 forum. His links are very current and exhaustive. I hope will monitor this thread over the next few weeks as to assist in flashing the x2. I will follow up with my notes on rooting and flashing CM10a3 tomorrow.
To sd_shadow:
I could use advice on a problem I have with BSR. After flashing CM10a3 I have installed the Patched BSR so I can backup my ROM and I try experiment with the softkey zip mod. BSR shows up as "CM7 System" on my apps screen so I know I have the patched version; however, I get a boot loop of the Moto Boot screen anyway. I have tried installing the other ordinary BSR (shows as System Recovery on the apps screen) but this causes the same infinite loop at the Motorola boot screen.
The loop only occurs when I have the usb charger plugged in to my x2 telling me the problem is the BSR. I am able to recover by pulling the battery and rebooting without the charger. I booted into Motorola's Recovery and wiped the data and cashe. This did not solve the loop issue. I was going to try wiping the Dalvik also but I don't know what this is or how to wipe this.
I have seen your CM10 hijack-boot.zip instructions and considered try this fix. I have not loaded this fix yet because when I compared the etc/hijack-boot.zip on my phone with the one in the hijack-boot.zip file they have the same MD5 which implies CM10a3 already has the updated hijack-boot.zip patch.
Any suggestions?

that should be correct, only one patched that I know of, it's the original cm7 bsr.

You followed instructions and used files posted here? Concise guide to getting CWM working with cm10 A3
and verified the roms md5 before installing, I know that the original Dev-Host file download, failed for many people the first try.

I missed these instruction for how to install the patch when searching; much appreciated. There are many pages in the CM10 thread, I think the link to the Concise patched BSR should be added to the CM10 instructions in #1 as a final step so users can backup with CWM.
Your link to SBF to 2.3.4 would also be a good addition.
Another addition would be a link to re-calibrate the battery stat mine I screwy right now. It shows 100% then drops to fast. I am researching this.
Everything else is working splendid!

dukk, I just redid this whole upgrade in about 30 min so don't fear it. I can't leave url links but if you google or search in xda on the quoted words you should be able to find the links and files. sd_shadow's links above are very good. Also check out wwwDOTrootjunkyDOTcom.
1. downgrade to 2.3.4
-Follow sd_shadow in response #8 and #10 above.
-don't sweat using the latest RSD, 5.4, 5.6, or the latest 5.7 will all do the job. Just make sure you load the USB drivers first and your phone is connecting to your PC
2. root
-I have been using "DX2Batchroot_2013.v2.exe". try Googling it. It will automatically install BSR you need for ROM install.
-There is a video using the file above but it is for 2.3.5. It doesn't matter, the procedure is exactly the same.
3. Download CM10a3, gapps, softkeys, patched BSR apk, and patched hijack-root.zip files and put on your External SDCARD
-CM10a3 rom
-gapps ("gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip")
-optional softkeys (search "CM10DX2-A3-softkeys.zip")
-patched BSR and hijack-root.zip >>> checkout sd_shadows response #10 above (don't install until #5 below)
4. Install the first 3 zip files in #3 using BSR CM10a3 rom ("cm-10-20130113-UNOFFICIAL-daytona"), gapps ("gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip") and optional softkeys (search "CM10DX2-A3-softkeys.zip") but you must load BSR only after you wipe data
-Make sure you follow the instructions.
-You must wipe data AND cashe or it will hang on the start screen.
5. Load patched BSR along with replacing hijack-root.zip in the /etc folder so you can create a Backup using the patched BSR
-This is spelled out in the link in response #10 above
-you will need a Terminal app. There are free ones in Google Play.
-wipe data and cashe again
6. Load optional apps and backup again.
-I have a battery calibration issue. Check out "Battery calibration (New method?)" in wwwDOTdroidxforumsDOTcom for a fix
-There is a fix to Facebook videos in xda x2 forum.
Good Luck! You really can't brick this x2. SBF can recovery any hack you do. I messed up yesterday and replaced the patched BSR in CM10 with the ordinary one. I don't recommend this! It locked me out of my phone and I couldn't recover. I had to re-SBF. I did get to test the backup I created with BSR and it worked well.

MIUI v5 may be an option for JB 4.2.2
I see a new thread for a beta of MIUIv5 coming soon for the DX2. I am willing to try it. I like CM10 but have been experiencing some shortcoming s such as battery indicator, some apps crash, and videos only playing sound or not able to play at all.
looks like it is build with the same source as cm10, so it will have similar problems.

*READ BELOW FOR A GUIDE TO FIX*
I've had my note for over a year now and i have had it rooted pretty much the entire time. Never any problems with it up until recently it started doing this thing where it would keep restarting. It would boot up and less than a minute later just restart. Off and on for a few days it was doing this. I was still running 2.3.6 at that point. So i decided to push 4.0.4 via odin since kies didnt support the firmware. Everything was working fine for a few hours then all of the sudden "the ring of death" showing me no service. Went through the phone and noticed it was saying there is no sim inserted. Tested sim on another phone. Works fine. Since then ive figured out via kies i can recovery and update firmware. Tried that. No Bueno. Now im to the point where im on 4.0.4 with no service. I've scoured through forums trying all kinds of different things, pushing different roms and modems via odin and cwm. Still no bueno.
Baseband version
Unknown
Kernel Version
3.0.8
Build Number
IMM76D.UCLF6
If anyone can give me ideas im willing to try them out.
Thanks.
I got it working so heres a direction for anyone else who has this issue!
Replaced Sim&SD card reader-No fix
After flashing all kinds of roms & modems still same issue saying no sim inserted.
Do a hard reset through your settings.
Flash cwm and put the radio from this link on your sd card. Use cwm to flash the radio.
Flash rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261598 via odin.
The first try i got an error during flash and got stuck on the software download error screen.
Reflashed the JB rom.
After its flashed flash clockwork recovery.
Enter cwm and do a factory reset. Clear cache. Clear dalvik cache. Reboot system.
If you get service, turn off phone. enter cwm and do a backup.
Reboot system.
It should be working.
If not restart and make sure to do a factory reset through your settings in the phone before reflashing rom.
Got the Phone up and running for about 30 mins.
After battery removed it reverted back to no sim card inserted.
Kept reflashing rom until it worked again.
Flashed cwm.(ClockworK recovery mod)
Deleted cache, dalvik cache
Backed up via cwm
If it reverts back to no sim after that restore using the cwm backup.-it worked for me
Now for the tricky part, my phone was getting crappy service...
So heres what i did to fix it.
Settings-more settings-mobile networks-access point names-click on the apn.

I believe I've read something like this before. I think they fixed it by starting over from scratch. Try returning to stock thru Odin. Then root and flash rom of choice.

dweeezy said:

GB stands for Gingerbread which was the first version of the OS that came with the phone. I believe the number was 2.3.6 (you can take a look in the about section in the settings and it'll tell you what you're currently running). ICS is Ice Cream Sandwhich which for our phone was 4.0.4 i believe. Jelly bean just came out today which you can use Kies to upgrade to and that I believe is 4.1.2. The numbers don't really mean a think, just the classification of what the OS is so if your phone reads something else (say 2.3.4) assume your phone is right and I'm wrong. I can't remember OS versions to save my life haha.
But you can use Kies to do an emergency recovery and I THINK it'll install Gingerbread. that's where I'd start, then test it, and then move to ICS and test, and then move to JB and test. I know long tedious process, but sometimes it's necessary. Imagine how fun I am to talk to on the phone while troubleshooting a computer :laugh:

what I use to migrate, and I between roms at least once a week with a full wipe because I rely on my phone being stable.
SMS and call logs: SMS Backup + (saves your call logs and sms to your gmail account. Makes a label for it and everything, pretty sweet. You can also restore from it. it takes about an hour for me to restore at 7000+ text messages).
pictures/media: stored on SD card
apps: if rooted and rommed I use titanium backup and run 2 sets. those which I want to keep my data like sms backup + to make restore easier and those I don't care about the data like google voice. If you're stock, just remember to check the little box in the beginning saying backup this phone to google (or something like that) and the next time you have to restore tick the box that says restore from google (or something like that) and it'll reinstall your apps. Mind you not the info, but it'll give you a head start.
As with your issue with installing roms. If you're using CWM i highly recommend switching to TWRP, not saying it's better in fact I like CWM better, but TWRP is the best for our roms and phone. If you have no clue what I mean by CWM or TWRP, read the all info sticky about how to rom thy phone.
I hope that helps.
Thanks OG. Yes, I know CMW and TWRP. I used to switch ROMs a lot. Finally stuck with Collective's latest (the orange one) pretty happy with it except that it's major glitch seems to be reboots whenever an app updates. So I figured unchecking auto update in Gstore should handle that.
You're saying I should try rooting w Odin again, install Superuser, then use TWRP to flash with? I'll be happy to read another 4 hrs of posts/stickies if that'll get me sorted out. I don't expect people like yourself to spend your day helping me. I'm very thankful for your tips here.
I've poured thru the "All things Gnote" threads and Noob Guides. They can be confusing as they always link out to many different threads. There is hardly ever a "Here are the steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Thanks again OG.

No problem always happy to help. since you're used to this sorta thing you don't need to use odin again and reroot. What you can do is either install TWRP through CWM using this file here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.zip
Or you can install Goo manager, click settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript (though that's only 2.4.4.0 the link above is 2.5.0.0)
That should change you over to TWRP. and like always do a nandroid backup and then flash to your heart's content!

i have the same issue.....i kn0w its n0t an hardware issue....my ph0ne is fairly new never dr0pped and this started happening 3 days after i p0rted black star jb alpha
I have this same issues ive tried flashing everything ive tried a new sim and replaced the card reader.
What works consistently for me if to flash the latest modem everytime i have to reboot or boot the note. Its my daughters phone now and she drains the battery regularly if it boots after charging or it needs to be rebooted for whatever reason it will come up with the no sim card error. If i flash the modem thru recovery it will work for that boot but only as long as I dont reboot or shut the phone off, then i will have to flash the modem again.
Not fixed
All. This is not fixed. I am having the same issue and if you follow the guide, it works for a day maybe regardless of what rom is loaded or what modems. Has anyone found a real solution to this yet??
i717 running stock GB or ICS or JB roms...
Thanks!
I have the exact same issue. Replaced the sim/sd card slot and still no dice ): Flashed to stock and back. Nope. Still won't work

I'm having the same problem. There seems to be no set way to get it back to working. Basically any reboot of the phone produces a no sim card error. I have tried flashing the modem through recovery as it was mentioned that will fix the problem. That did not work for me. What does work, sometimes, is one of the following:
1. Full wipe and reinstall
2. Restore backup from Recovery
3. Fix permissions
I just keep doing one of the above listed and eventually it works. However if the phone reboots then it's back to the carousel of trying these options to get it back to working.
I'm running Padawan JB V2
I honestly have no idea what's causing it. I haven't tried to fix permissions before to fix this issue, but if I go into recovery and install the modem again and reboot, it works fine for a while (and by a while, I mean like a few hours at max).
Just started having this issue, myself...after flashing Tmo_SGH-T989_VKL1_radio_ATTNOTE.zip modem on my phone...restoring from a prior backup...
Restoring a backup will not change your modem.
I need some help. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.1.115.69) installed on my stock (rooted/unlocked) Verizon Note 2.
On some videos (that are not a mobile version or through the video player) I get this issue where the sound works fine, but the video is completely messed up. It looks like a bunch of colored lines. The lines move as the video goes along. I don't know what to make of it because it only happens on some videos. Also, this has happened with every version of Flash that I have ever tried (which is all of them, as far as I know) with this device. Anyone else have this problem? In any case, can someone on a stock Verizon Note 2 please go to the page below and try and watch the movie? The lines problem has happened every time I have gone to that page and tried to watch the movie, both on the stock browser and with Dolphin Browser. I attached a screenshot of what happens below.

By the way, that movie is an excellent sequel to the first Monsters Inc. and I recommend it.
(And there is no need to freak out about not paying to watch the movie; I am planning to purchase it for my Nephew in the near future.)

I would venture to say that the problem is the site not flash. So far I haven't run across this problem. Try clean wiping and re-flashing. Also what stock rooted ROM are you running?
Hey. Most likely if you are running stock verizon bloated touchwiz, verizon likes to include a file/apk that is hidden that blocks flash player. To get rid of this you generally have to be rooted. After rooted you can either install a custom rom (any will do) OR if you want to stay stock you can use titanium back up and browse through your list off applications. You will noticed a "flash disable" application in red or something like that. Selected it and uninstall it. Once you do that you should have the flash player working properly.

It has happened to me on far too many sites for it to be their fault. I am on 4.1.1 I605VRALJB. I haven't updated my phone since I bought it in December (bad experiences with updates from Motorola). While this problem is frustrating, I don't think I want to wipe my phone just yet.

What are the names of the apps? you might have frozen the app that runs flash which you want, and then youll have also frozen the app that blocks flash, so over all do you have no flash? (I dont know exacly im just speculating now from what ive read youve done)
edit: maybe try some simple things first, use yet another browser, such as nakedbrowser- its fast and flash works great in it. i would say maybe try unistalling then reinstalling flash, to a newer version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190346 i forget its not on playstore anymore. mines currently at 11.1.115.48

I tried that browser and it still had the problem, both with that version of Flash and the newest one. I think I'll need to re-flash eventually.. I was hoping to avoid it.

I have not had or seen any instability, or experienced any glitchyness myself and I have also only stuck to the touchwiz roms (simply personal preference). 4.1.2 on this device, well there isnt anything to fear, no getting burned here. lots o great roms to check out.
edit: oh and one last word if you want to stay as you are. did you try the 115.48 flash version?

Yeah, I have not had good luck with updates. I did try that version just now (and several other versions before now).
4.1.2 has been unlocked and rooted, but is it possible to get back to 4.1.1?
Thank you for trying to help! Really appreciate it!

ok I havent really worried about flash i guess on the custom roms there must be some libraries or plugins or something to have flash fully functional.
Make a full nandroid back up of what your on now. Im not 100% positive but if you want you can then just flash back to 4.1.1. Make sure you restore with the same version of the custom recovery you backed up with if you want to go baack.
You should probably also search that question. I believe it has been answered several times. I might have seen it in passing.

Right, because the backup backups the OS as well as your phone memory. That has always boggled my mind. So I could just restore that and be good.
One last question: When installing this update, I probably don't want to be unlocked, right? I know I can temporarily unroot so no problem there.

yes your nandoid will save the image of your system and data(if thats what you mean by phone memory) so youll restore you to that state.
no if your bootloader unlocked and all that, leave it. I recommend looking over droidstyle guide too, i usually do every now and again just to refresh my mind. You can simply flash a stock 4.1.2 rom check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387635 so look for one that is basically untouched except for being rooted and unlocked still. You can also try out any 4.1.2 rom too
Nah, jumping between threads is fun!
But seriously, is it completely necessary to factory reset before flashing that?

Yup. Sorry for late resposnse. So um id suggest if you havent don anything yet. Update to latest recovery proabaly twrp since 8ts easy to use and it seems to be the most versatile (but some customs roms prefer clockwork) then back up efs modem boot system data for a full image of your 4.1.1 so you can be fully backed up. Then do the factory data reset wipe cache and dalvik in recovery after. Af6er wipe then flash rom.
Since you are rooted, you can download the latest version of flash and run it from the stock browser. Chrome has issues with it. I prefer the stock browser as it does exactly what Chrome does but with flash support. And I would suggest atleast upgrading to a 4.1.2 rom. There were alot of bug fixes between the 2.
I'm pleased to report that I flashed that 4.1.2 ROM and the flash player issue is gone.
I was pleasantly surprised to see my sdcard0 remain untouched after I wiped data from custom recovery.

I need some help. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.1.115.69) installed on my stock (rooted/unlocked) Verizon Note 2.
On some videos (that are not a mobile version or through the video player) I get this issue where the sound works fine, but the video is completely messed up. It looks like a bunch of colored lines. The lines move as the video goes along. I don't know what to make of it because it only happens on some videos. Also, this has happened with every version of Flash that I have ever tried (which is all of them, as far as I know) with this device. Anyone else have this problem? In any case, can someone on a stock Verizon Note 2 please go to the page below and try and watch the movie? The lines problem has happened every time I have gone to that page and tried to watch the movie, both on the stock browser and with Dolphin Browser. I attached a screenshot of what happens below.
Any help regarding how to fix this would be most appreciated!
By the way, that movie is an excellent sequel to the first Monsters Inc. and I recommend it.
(And there is no need to freak out about not paying to watch the movie; I am planning to purchase it for my Nephew in the near future.)

Flash Player Issue
I think the problem lies with the website. Viooz.co is full of malwares and other viruses. I hate those pop up ads which just pop out on just one click.
There are many websites which you can rely upon :
