[Q] Major Issues!!! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have done all the things in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632730
Everything "seemed" fine until I tried using WiFi, I actually have to hit the wifi button and then restart my phone for the wifi to actually work, weird...
Besides that, the phone has just been restarting itself and it's happening more and more. And lately, it's wicked slow with just about everything I try to do... its just super glitchy. So I thought that maybe starting from scratch would be the best way to make things right, and then re-root...
But doing this caused many questions while reading through the forum and I'm hoping that someone can help point me in the right direction...
I guess the most important questions are:
Do I wipe the phone and do a clean install, going back to stock first?
If so, because I have followed the instructions in the link above, what are the exact steps so that I don't brick it?
Should I just buy a new phone?
If I did a clean install and then re-root will it run better than it is now?
I have many more questions but I think answering these first will help out a lot...
Thanks to whoever can help me out...

Build Number JSS15J.I605VRUEMJ9
Edit: I installed the new Dodol Launcher and miraculously my WiFi is working again! So I uninstalled the Nova Launcher... I am happy that I can toggle my wifi settings once again =) But I read something extremely upsetting about 2mins ago in regards to the people with unlimited data which I have, and that is, we cannot use third party apps to tether the hotspot if we did the 4.3 update!!!??? Does anyone know if this is true? I thought that I couldn't tether because my phone is somehow screwed up, not because they blocked me from using it...

I would Odin back to stock.. Just make sure you don't Odin to mj9..BC then you will be locked.. So Odin back to ramc3 and then run casual and reunlock.. Sometimes a clean slate helps.. But it maybe the phone for whatever reason..
Never experienced any issues like that

Thanks lacoursiere18!
After I get back to ramc3 and reunlock do you know how can I stop the OTA from popping up and trying to get me to install it? I want to be able to tether a mobile hotspot, so I need to stay on this one (because of the unlimited data), I think...?
On another note (no pun intended), I was starting the backup process and noticed that the phone has 10.3GB of internal storage, but when I add up all the folders it only amounts to 2.24GB! Does that mean that the OS is taking up 8GB!??? It just seems like a bit much and I can't see anything, there were no hidden folders or system files that I could find either... weird...

To stop the nag on the update use titanium backup to freeze SDM 1.0

Try backing up your data and then reformat it through your phone settings. If that doesn't work you might want to reflash the ROM. Or go into the settings and remount it that way. But if it worked fine before you flashed the ROM I would reflash....

I had no luck with the memory card back up because I had to format my sd card as expat for version 22. Do you know of any way I could email the developer of my Rom to see if there is a fix or update on the way to fix this. It says I have to wait to have 10 posts.

It has to be the something to do with the format of the memory card and the ROM. My twrp recovery reads that all of my stuff is still there. It's just the version of the ROM that doesn't. Any ideas?

[Q] Nand from one phone restorable on another?

I have my p500 working flawlessly with v18.0 & froyo final. I recently installed the exact same setup on my friend's phone. The only problem is that she is telling me that the edge icon never appears / appears briefly and disappears. All the data settings are right according to what i've seen. (I've also installed the same setup on multiple p500)
She's not with me right now, and isn't quite sure to pull thru the nand backup/restore/flashing/ instillation and stuff.
The question is, suppose i set up everything she needs on my phone and nand back up it and ask her to restore that backup on her phone? Will it work? Has anyone tried it? I don't wanna screw this up for her.
Please assist me.
First: Wrong section
Second: Yes, it's possible, did the same to my wifes phone (we both have a P500).

Is exactly the same thing no worries. Just make sure you partition the sdcard properly like yours in case you want to restore sd-ext apps
Yes you can, as said above make sure sd partitioning is same. I used a stock rom nand backup that was posted on xda by another user when I wanted to take my phone to warranty services. It worked fine.
Did you backup .androd-secure?

You may want to try it without .android-secure and see if that works and/or wipe android-secure on the other phone. I'm thinking out loud here. I've never actually tried this so take it for what it's worth.

Android secure contains apps that are moved to the sd card (froyo apps to sd). So if you restore it you will find those apps. You can easily uninstall them later. Haven't tried this, taking an educated guess.
Suppose I have apps like widget locker making use of data from the sd card (the theme), will they be affected in the phone onto which they'll be restored?

Yeah, I suppose, if widget locker was enabled at the time you made the nand backup. If you really don't want any of your apps in someone else's phone then restore your backup to your phone, do a factory reset (or uninstall all offensive apps) , and then take another backup.

[Q] Camera issue on CheckROM 3.1.1

Hi,
I've recently upgraded from CheckROM HD 2.0 to 3.1.1 on and every thing seems to be runing great with the exception of the camera.
Whenever I open the camera I get a message pop up that says 'Not enough memory'. This occurs even straight after rebooting or even clearing the memory on the phone.
I have tried reflashing the ROM, installing the camera hack from the kitchen, wiping the cache and anything else I can think of. Anyone else have any ideas?
No such problems myself, i suggest you ask in the CheckRom thread instead of starting a new one.

Says I need more posts or something.
Anyway, don't think its nessecarily CheckROM now. Flashed back to CRR HD 2.0 and I'm still getting the same error.
Think I might have to do a full wipe which I was hoping to avoid. Time to see how good Sprite Backup and Ti Backup work I guess.

because he has just 3 posts. you need ten to be allowed to post into development section.
@ thread starter: reflash, maybe with factory reset? it's always good to wipe your device when you switch to another rom.
How embarrasing...
I was just starting to run some backups before doing a full wipe and got a message from Sprite saying it didn't have enough room to store a dropbox backup. Went and cleaned up my last few CWM backups and and some old ROMs and kernels. Just before I jumped into recovery mode I hit the camera and it works fine now. Seems to be that I had run out of space on my internal SD card.
Oh well, problem fixed. Flashing back to 3.1.1 now.
Thanks for the help anyways

ROM problem

Hey,
I installed cyanogenmod 9 on my gt-i9300, the installation went smooth, but then I had the great idea to install the Ninphetamin3 kernel as well, it turns out that they are not compatible with one another(or I did something wrong), now the phone starts up and keeps looping at the cm9 boot animation. I have no back ups on the internal sd card as I did these two actions at the same time, and the phone cannot read my original stock rom.
I might have accidentally deleted them in my haste(tried following a youtube fix that did not work9
question…..Can I put the cm9 rom and gapps on a micro sd, then plug it back into the phone and reinstall it this way?
btw this is my first android mobile, and I am using an osx system to root and any information on how to fix this problem via an osx system will be greatly appreciated.

Did you try wiping cache and dalvik cache?
99% of the time, wiping cache and dalvik cache will solve your bootloop problems and force closes.
Hey
Yepp I tried all of those, still no luck, will try with the micro sd later about 2am here in sthlm and I need some sleep before the old job...
I will update to say how it goes...
Ninphetamine kernel is a Samsung kernel, it is not compatible with CM9.
Why don't you just reinstall CM9?
hey,
That is what I would like to do, but I flashed cm9 with rom manager, and since my phone is stuck looping and the boot animation I cannot reco it from there. I tried doing it from clockworkmod recovery and cannot find the rom in the file system either....so my plan is to pop a micro sd into my computer transfer the files onto that, then pop it into the phone again and attempt to do it this way... Hopefully it can be done.
Download original firmware and flash with odin. Start over.

hmmm okey would it be better to start over from scratch then? would I have to format the entire internal sd before i start?
Also I cannot use odin(only osx or Ubuntu) so is the procedure the same with heimdall?
sorry for all the questions guys but like i said my very first android so a bit unfamiliar(should have switched ages ago)

Okey.... Update!
I transfered the cm9 and gapps onto my ext sd card using a laptop, then back into the phone. I reflashed and basically I have a phone that I can use again..
One more thing I noticed since reinstalling the cm9 rom
I got everything back but when I go to the play store on my computer it no longer recognizes my mobile, but
if I access it through my mobile it does is there any explanation for this?
Not a big deal but it would be nice to reinstall apps and some paid apps again without having to pay for them again..
any ideas?
Perhaps something to do with the baseband on cm9?

okey, I just found it a bit strange that I can still download most of the paid apps from the play store via the phone and not the computer.
Does that mean if I restore the stock rom(no intention) that the store would recognize the phone again?
Just use your computer and flash stock rom to your GS3, that's how i solved similar problem with GS2 when it was looping.
Odin is fairly easy to use, tons of instructions online, finding right stockrom online might be time consuming.
Backup your phone ALWAYS! With cwm, i have big list of backups always ready, everytime you messing with new roms, kernels or what ever changes you make, it's worth the time, trust me.

[Q] Rezound internal memory

I installed INFECTION 2.9.1 over my rooted ICS installation, but decided I liked the look of the ICS sense better, so I decided to restore my nandroid image of ICS. It booted up but got stuck on the screen right after the white HTC one. I flashed back to jellybean and tried a FACTORY RESET. It reboots me into RA-VIGOR with the error message "E:Invalid command argument"
I can boot back into jellybean but now it is telling me there is NO INTERNAL memory. Where did it go?
Have I killed my phone here?

No you just didnt read threads or previous quiestions...upon moving from stock to a 4.2 based rom you got the bug from memory on that...you need to switch to twrp if not on that and mount and partition your emmc and internal sd card....this has been a known bug for the longest time now....dont use Amon Ra (RA-VIGOR) as it gives bugs on rom installs for any rom really and it doesnt play nice....such as possible phone overheats, battery drain, and many random reboots even after not upping your min frequency

Yep, you are right, I did not read previous threads as I did not know there was a problem with Amon Ra when I first installed it. The Infection 2.9.1 thread recomemended using it! Anyhow, I have since got a message pop up on the screen that said something about bad memory and told me to format it. I did, and now I can see my internal storage again. It is now empty of course, but what was on it when it was factory ? Is there anywhere I could get a copy of those files from?

if you mean internal as in the 10gb usable memory that pictures and stuff store to than thats cool....dont delete anything in the root of system if thats what you mean...ill look into the specifications you want...ive seen a few...as far as sense clock and weather there is a few apps you can download in the market that replicate it and is themable

Yes, it is the internal 10gb that I meant. For a while it was not showing, either on the phone or in windows. After the message on the phone came up to format it (which I did) I could then see it in both windows and on the phone. I had not taken any notice of what was on it beforehand. I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks as it was given to me by a friend who was cut off from Verizon for not paying his bill !! I shoved in a TMOBILE sim from a spare phone I had and it works just fine for making calls but only Edge for data (not that it matters as I have a Optimus L9 for data)
Any info you could find would be most appreciated.

to go back to stock you actually have to first s-off and unlock the bootloader....also 4.2 reboots furiously if you dont set things up right...try a 4.3 rom like Tachyon or Carbon Rom....on either one of those ive yet to have a randoom reboot on proper settings that i set up

I was looking at the Tachyon rom yesterday as it happens, but I read somewhere that in 4.3 they changed something with the way memory is handled? and that you can no longer select the external SD card in the camera app, only the internal memory. Is that right?

yes but to be honest....stock is the same exact way
Edit...if your looking for a good fresh fast and to have everything work but base build go with tachyon....if your looking for fully customizable everything thats fast and stable go with carbon rom or pac 4.3....also you can download and replace the stock gallery with one that does save to internal sd card which is 10gb...you can always transfer to external sd as well as to a pc

[SOLVED] [Q] Possible Soft Bricked Note

Hello all, I am looking for a little advice. I'll give as much backstory as possible:
I used the cyanogenmod one click installer, everything went well. Since the one click installer put twrp on I went and put clockworkmod on since im more familure with it. Everything fine restarted and phone worked however after I installed (attempted to install facebook messeger) the device rebooted and would not come back on. Sat for 5 mins vibrating over and over and over. Its not completely dead I am able to get to recovery and to download mode and believe I just had a bad download/install. Since i have Clockworkmod on here, I am thinking I could just install the most up to date stable rom available but I have a question:
How do I put the rom zip files on phone if phone wont come on.
Any advice towards this would be appreciated.
First off, where did you find a cyanogenmod one click installer? Possibly that was not meant for the I717.
Don't you have an external micro sd card? Place the card in your computer and copy the ROM zip to it. Put it back in your phone and use it to flash.

Sure thank you for the reply, from beta . download . cyanogenmod . org /install apparently it detects your phones version and does everything for you really, no option to pick your model/version # it auto detects. sorry for spaces it wouldnt let me post link complete.
And I did not know I could put the zips on external SD I had though only internal SD is option for where to put roms

Sure, I'm not sure why no one comes back if people take the time to reply and help them, a thank you is the least they could do.
