So i just restored my Note to factory settings and now when it boots up TWLauncher keeps crashing. Anyone able to help?
Bonus Information:
- Pre restoring i had downloaded a 3rd party app
- My phone side internet connection stopped working after a while
- I had installed a bloatware disabling app, in which i disabled multiple apps, maybe it included an important TW component
- I was using KK Launcher, and not TW, also I was using KK Locker and not stock
- I have Clockwork mod installed
- Odin works and it stays on the downloading page and doesn't do anything that I am able to see within 5 minutes
- My phone is a Rogers variant, hardware is same as At&t and I read that they are pretty much same in every way except the custom apps each telephone company installs
- Keyboard doesn't work
- Able to access setting and not anything else
Please help? Any solution is a good one ('^') -sniff sniff

My guess is you answered your own question there. I pretty sure there was a teenie weenie portion of a valuable function you disables with that app.
Did you back up?
Try emergency firmware recovery with Kies?

no i didn't back up, don't have a big enough sd card, D: Also Kies was removed through the bloat remover, will it still work?

Yes kies will still work. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc, select firmware upgrade in kies, type in model number, serial number, let it do it's thing. You'll then be on the latest firmware

Not sure what it is as I have never had to do that.......I think some of the info you put in should be in ALL CAPITOL LETTERS????
Not shouting....just an example. But that could be recovering IMEI#

im using all caps, but i think the main problem might be its not properly connecting? it keeps saying "connecting". Also maybe its because my phone is a variant?

doesnt work,
about the network problem, i doubt so, because before i was using different provider and had same problem.
I had the same issue once (although I was on custom rom, not stock) and I only find one way to fix it. Restoring all firm with companion (I don't matter the user data) and then I tried 3G download with stock firm, and worked fine.

OK this WORKED!
i think its the ultimate solution.
Ok so here i think how it is...
When you insert a sim, OS itself configures to be available for mobile internet services, but it is not accurate. Even it settings i had provider settings i wasnt able to download larger files from Market. So even i thought it wount help, i gone to my service provider website and checked for settings. I sent SMS with text required to get settings via SMS, it said my phone doesnt need that and doesnt fit, and im doing at my own risk this and not only that. Even in website i checked that my phone automaticly configures own correct settings. But it was false. I got the settings even they adviced not to use because they are for older phones only and the result is great, now i can download the files from the market!
So i think first thing to do when such thing happens, to check internet settings with the ones provided by service provider to see if everything matching
Ok, I'm gonna keep it as short as possible.
I got a used S2, it was fine, it told me that it had to do a software update, so I did (the phone was being charged). When I turned it on, there was no homescreen, just black.. after a while it said something like "application is not responding".. the top bar still works and by using that I could get into the playstore and installed Nova Launcher. Then I got a new homescreen and menu, but lock screen still doesn't work. If the phone gets rebooted or if I press back sometimes, it gets back into the black screen and freezes, showing the not responding message again.. The camera and Whatsapp also don't work. I did factory reset, cashe wipe, tried rooting it with Odin, it still has this problem..
My head is exploding. Does anyone know what else I can try? Or like a way to make a launcher (for example Nova Launcher) the start-up homescreen?
Have you tried Odin'ing a stock firmware back to it? Its worked every time I've bricked mine

For Odin firmwares, check this thread

its where I grabbed my first few ICS updates before I gave up on TW and moved on to AOKP
Also, it doesn't really matter where you're handset's from, as long as you only flash the firmware/software for the i9100 (as opposed to i9100g or i777 or something) its fine, the code's universal, and it doesn't change the system language when you flash it, and as long as you're not going from 4.1 back to 4.0, it keeps all your apps, setting, data, son and so forth without an issue (so if you're on 4.0.4 at the moment, you shouldn't have an issue going back to 4.0.3 is that's all you can find)

I did, still nothing.
When you plug the phone into a computer it connects as an installer so you can install the driver and Verizon stuff. Where can I find those files to delete them? I'd like for my phone to automatically connect as MTP for file transfer without having to pull down the notification on the phone can change it.

I just noticed that at first a drive that says "verizon mobile" shows up in my computer, then it goes away on its own and the media drive comes up after. Takes maybe 15 seconds or so before the media drive appears. I'll look into disabling the verizon mobile part, but at least it doesn't pop up with anything on the desktop (for me at least) and goes automatically goes away for some reason.
It does go to mtp if you wait long enough. I guess I was never that patient. It would still be much better if it would just go straight to it.
Same problem on osx here, and thing is there's not even an installer for osx. All it has in there are dll and exe. Can find any solution to permanently disable it yet. Tried disable all vz stuff and didn't work for me here.
I just had this problem a half hour ago I wanted to transfer music it ended up being the off brand usb cable I was using s soon as I connected the oem one and check the mtp box it connected and I can transfer files

I'd like the option for the phone to default to charge-only, so that damn windows popup doesn't come up anymore. I get the CD drive verizon mobile first. Then when I close that, it comes up with the SCH-I605, and I have to close that too.
My car deck can read music from thumb drives and would charge my last phone and play music from it at the same time. Deck doesn't get anything from note and note says connected as installer.
I'm rooted, usb debugging on, most Verizon bloat gone.

You could also turn off auto run in windows. It is a lot safer anyway (For those of us that plug in something where we don't know where it's been.)

It doesn't address the issue. It just hides the iso popup. It will still go to connected as an installer for 15-20 seconds, before your storage is available.

Flash aosp rom. Always in mtp mode.
I know this is old thread but if rooted you can rename system/etc/autorun.iso to system/etc/autorun.bak to keep the Verizon stuff from popping up when plugging in to computer. Still haven't found a way to skip installer mode though.
it's another one of verizons stupid things.
i have a sprint note 2 also, it goes straight to MTP. No sprint installer at all.
In the last few days my phone has continuously been switching itself off or freezing and the only way to get it to work again is pulling the battery or resetting it. The phone is stock, running Android 4.1.2 with firmware I9300XXELLA.
I did notice the phone had switched itself off a few times before now, but now it has got to the point where its happening all the time. I've also noticed that when the phone is booting back up after the lock screen appears the message "Currently unable to download please try again later" is coming up (which I think is more than likely the problem, but when I do attempt to update the phone it says its up to date).
So far I've tried running without an SD card, clearing Touchwiz homes data and switching off auto updates but these have made no difference. If anyone can offer any help it'd be really appreciated as the last thing I want to do is exchange the phone as it can be a pain in the butt.
Tried factory reset? I would suggest flashing the same firmware using odin and see if that makes any difference beforehands.

I've only ever used kies so will have to investigate Odin.
Out of curiosity is there actually a manual way to check for updates through Kies, as I can't for the life of me see how too?
If there is an update, kies would show you the next firmware details below your current one I think.

Hi, I'm laso getting the same issue with I9300XXELLA via Kies.
I've reset, cleared the cache and cancelled any restores but still it happening.
I'm going to downgrade to an older version to see if it resolves this.
I had to do a factory reset in the end and that fixed the problem. Still a bit annoying though as it took me a day to get everything back to how it was and like an idiot I forgot to backup my SMS messages and call history even though I had an app installed that could do it (SMS backup+).
Recommend one from ritesh or something. Works like charm every time I used it so far

Fixed
I wanted to test before posting but I ended up installing 4.1.1 then updating to 4.1.2 without wiping. Very strange.
As an update to this thread the problem came back even after I did a factory reset. I didn't get the unable to download error message but I did keep getting the odd freeze. However after a day of doing it the problem weirdly stopped happening and now 'touch wood' is fine again.
I also wiped cache and reset my phone running stock 4.1.2 on O2. The freezing problem seems to have gone, it's been a couple of days now and no issues. I should say that the only thing I haven't put on yet is Flash, I have a feeling it might be problematic?

Ironically I think the reason my phone was freezing the odd time after I factory reset it was because I didn't have flash installed. After I sideloaded it the phone hasn't had any more issues (this could be a coincidence though).
Ive just ran the eMMC checker that nhariamine linked to and it says that my chip is susceptible to sudden death (VTU00M, revision 0xf1) and is an insane chip.
Does Samsung's most recent firmware address this, an if not can I get them to replace my phone even if it doesn't die?
The second day after I did a factory reset my phone froze once too and it hasn't since then(about a week) I'm still afraid of installing flash. I use Dolphin browser and I can set the user agent to iPad which loads HTML5 versions of videos etc, obviously this only works on sites that have this possibility. I guess I'm trying to wean myself of flash for now.

I have had this same issue for the past week and have just downloaded the eMMC checker and it seems I too have the phone that is susceptible to SDS.
I have noticed though that the phone only freezes when wifi is switched on though. I dont have any problems with wifi off. I downloaded lagfix from the playstore and ran that and it reduced the freezes from about 20 in a day to 3. I didnt realise wifi was the issue for me at that time though so it could be coincidental.
Updating Roms etc has not worked at all for me. If it keeps up for a few weeks i think i will need to change phones as its way too frustrating for a top tier phone to do this.
Same problem here
I've upgraded OTA few days ago... did a factory rest because the phone was slow... and yesterday the problem appeared out of no where!

Disabling "WiFi Power Save Mode" seems to solve it
1. Open up the Galaxy S3 phone dialer
2. Then dial *#0011#
3. Look for the “ServiceMode” screen and press the left menu button
4. Select “WiFi”
5. You should see that the “WiFi Power Save Mode” button is “ON” – now put it on “OFF”'
