I need some help, i am very frustrated. I had a rooted phone and something got corrupted with alliance rom v26. I figured i would wipe it all and install 26 again .Well the file got corrupted as well and bricked my phone. I loaded up odin and ran I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME.tar.md5.

Nothing is working now, root wont work,casual wont work, i cant install a recovery. Every time i try any of this stuff it bricks. I have so many of the files downloaded i am lost. Cant i get pointed in the right direction, i cant remember if my phone was locked or unlocked. I just want the phone rooted and my old rom back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Odin again, causal, then you should be good to go from what I can tell here, when you get a custom recovery like twrp wipe like 5 times with the advanced and factory reset once, then flash b26 and the radio.

Since you have b26, mind uploading it?

I need to add it to my repository on android file host and the latest recoveries I can find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bingo6104:
I had 24 and 26 on my sd card but some how got corrupted. It shows 0 bytes as the file size. I had some issues with sd card and screwed up a lot of my files a while back.

I have ran Odin and flashed the stock MJ9 rom, try to run casual (r515 I think is the version) casual fails. Ends up bricking the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adobrakic:
Let me know if this works. I'm considering returning this phone if I'm stuck on 4.4.2. Otherwise, it'd definitely be worth keeping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I was told it would brick, 4.4.2 isn't so bad, I hardly notice I'm not rooted anymore and have found alternatives in the play store, there are exceptions when I need a app that needs root.

I might root later...

does anyone have a link to the following:

Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13

The links on OP isn't working. I appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
You should be able to get it from XDA developer imnuts thread (under VRAMC3/Mirror 2) at this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35265728.

You can also grab the firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/. Just search for the SCH-I605 firmware. You have to register at Sammobile, but it's free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pchoi79:
thank you, now it appears I have the boot loop of the samsung galaxy note. I tried to go into recovery holding power, volume down (also did volume up) start button.. but it gets me to the warning with the exclamation. I proceed with the option to install custom rom, but it takes me to download mode, indicating that i have stock rom installed. can anyone assist me here. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Here's a step by step video that I found useful when I first restored my phone: ( http://youtu.be/4qtbEevn1VA ). I don't know if I would use the download links in the video...but the video is helpful for reference.

If your phone was on Verizon Stock Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 or stock JellyBean 4.3, then Verizon/Samsung have put encryption measures in place that will prevent you from reverting the firmware back to 4.1.2. It will fail every time resulting in a soft brick. If that's the case, then you can only restore it back to either 4.3 or 4.4.2 (depending on which version it was last on).

If it was on 4.1.2 and you're wanting to restore back to that, then Droidstyle's restore gives you all the necessary steps to help you restore it.

can't find 4.4 md5

I soft bricked my phone while on the 4.4 version. Do you know where I can find the md5 for that? I can't find it anywhere and the sammmobile download starts but doesn't move.

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
There is a return to stock thread stickied that has md5 for all odin packages if that's what you are looking for and the downloads should still work, if not follow the directions in my signature to working downloads.

Oh that is this thread, my mistake, but what I said is still relevant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mejud:
Just finished perusing this thread from page 160 or so where all the 4.3 grief started in Dec 2013 (Which, is sadly when I got MY Note 2) Have had Saferoot on it all this time, still at 4.3/MJ9, phone does what I need it to do, I really don't care about roms....but the Foxfi thing has scared the crap out of me (thankfully it's working again), as I've no other method of internet out in the sticks. Did anyone ever uncover a method for unlocking the native wifi tether?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Not sure why, but I can usb tether and use my phone data from a pc, maybe someone at Verizon made a mistake or its because I have the share everything plan now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mejud:
Yeah, I doubt they could ever stop the usb tether. As far as the Foxfi portion they stopped Friday, I'm still of the opinion that it was a problem with some validation server with the Foxfi people. As far as rooting the Note 2, I'm gleaning that they never managed to unlock the bootloader after the 4.3 thing. I see the word "root" bandied about, but I doubt it has the same meaning it once did. (I'm also not sure if, back when it WAS truly rooted, was the native wifi tether accessible, which is the part I'M interested in)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I'm not sure if it was, I know when I was rooted most roms came with wifi tether that you can get on the play store and i used xposed to get it working, which i preferred the xposed method since it made it more seamless.

Strangely enough i can activate wifi tether as well (hot spot).

Hi, I tried to restore to stock but still is stuck on boot logo but I can very well go to recovery and download mode,but going to recovery throws errors,one of my friend says that emmc is gone, but I still have hopes, please help me out,I m attaching pics

Please help me out asap.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid_Nut:
If you cant odin back to stock, you most likely have emmc failure. It is an older phone and that can happen.

If you really need to have a Note 2 that you can unlock the bootloader, give this guy a shout.

My daughter got a free VZW Note 2 with version 4.4.2 installed. I've read through this thread.

Can anyone confirm I'm out of options? I'm hoping I missed something.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donaldanttila:
I don't know what you're trying to do but I can tell you what I've been through. I have bricked my phone several times and have gotten it back every time using Odin except for the time Odin kept giving a failed notification. I tried everything I could think of for over two weeks and couldn't get it back. Bad emmc. These phones are known to have bad emmc problems. I got lucky and got a replacement. After the replacement I used this video to root the phone and have had no problems since. All I did was get root access and did not or will not try switching roms or tinkering any further. This phone is to hard to unlock.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pstrang:
Thank you. I was hoping to install a custom ROM. But the phone came with 4.4.2, so I might be out of luck. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boktai1000:
This worked for me on Windows 10. I had to unplug/replug a few times from the Odin download screen, and had Odin up on my computer. After a few times, the COM port did show. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donaldanttila:
You are. You're past the lockdown battle between xda developers and Verizon or whoever. They locked it xda unlocked it, they locked it again, xda unlocked it again. They locked it back and nobody can't unlock it no more. This is my understanding. Some of the seniors may correct me. You have to have almost the beginning release 4.xxx whatever to change roms. After a certain 4.xXxX whateverr there was no unlocking. I don't feel like digging to give specifics.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shayo:
Hey guys i need your help! i got my i605 from a friend 10 months ago, since i didnt have any service or sim card in it. i rooted it months ago everything was perfect, no idea why but i decided to be stupid and to install twrp on it and now im at yellow triangle mode/download mode, i know i didnt unlock the bootloader, i seen there are restoring methods but i cant remember what version my android was before it happened. what will happen if i try to restore to the wrong version? i rather try an elder version then do the 4.3 and screw my chances up.. although its my second phone so getting back to stock+root like before at this point sounds perfect.

help please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donaldanttila:
It's been years or however long since note two came out since I've done rooting. I'm not up to date on what to do but I bricked my phone with the triangle and notice to contact Verizon but this is how I rooted my phone. You can not change roms you are just rooted to use rooted apps like titanium back up. I suggest you root the phone and leave out that way and not accept over the air updates for the Rom.

I showed up for work at the Sprint store I work at and lo and behold I see that we are carrying a new color of the Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch... It's not really like the brushed metal titanium like the S3, it's more like a speckled gray finish. Not sure if I like it....

Anyone know if the casing would fit the white/black sprint SIIs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agent852:
I don't see why not... it's exactly the same dimensions

I saw that online the other day. Any hardware updates or just a new case?

Just the casing..... It looks like the housing would chip really easily. I wonder how the black casing would look with the gray screen though..... I might have to do some Frankensteining with my phone when we get the parts lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cephaus:
it has nfc apparently
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
I also heard that it has NFC.

I like the screen, and the battery door, but the shiny body itself isn't really my style, might look good with the grey center piece from the white sii though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryandoubleu:
nope

it definitely

does not

have NFC
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Can you provide some more information backing up your statement?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
E4GT when announced also said NFC which is untrue. Most likely they copy and paste from earlier GS2 documents which did have NFC in the case of Intl variant.

I think Sprint had an ad that said it had a 4.65" screen and NFC but were completely wrong.

Look ugly to me lol... If it was titanium like how the gs3 and gn2 are it would look nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
So I guess it is the exact same as the black and white versions of the E4GT. So does that mean with the launch of a new variant, Samsung will extend the lifespan of our devices?

Using the new Note II on WIFI only for now since I'm not yet ready to switch over from the Thunderbolt and lose root, WIFI tether, etc. Noticed downloading apps from Google Play WIFI tethered to my Thunderbolt was very slow as compared to my other mobile/tablet devices. What normalized WIFI speed on the Note II is to enable airplane mode then enable WIFI.

Yes. The concept has three bezel swipe gestures. One from the left bezel for the Unity panel for multitasking, second is from the right for the notifications panel.

[General Topics] MichaelTunnell:
Ok I am going to bring a negative but constructive perspective to this concept. Please don't take it personally negative...it is not personal.

You suck! - I'm kidding, I couldn't help but make that joke.

The concept of the phone is great, I like the launcher concept of having a slide out menu for the launcher allowing the homescreen to be very clean unless of course user wants icons or widgets there...I would assume there wouldn't be limitations for that.

The HUD is something that would love to have on smartphone!

The AppSearch is flawed because it would have the same gesture launch as the HUD and that wouldn't work.

I would do Dash is accessible via the launcher OR single finger gesture of swipe from top...for the HUD get a two finger swipe from top.

AppSearch would be included in the Dash but so would every other kind of search...so Dash should probably be the most dominant feature for being with Ubuntu.

I don't like your Tablet concept at all...it looks like you just took Android and slapped on some Ubuntu gui windows. That is not really a concept.

----------------

There is one thing I think EVERY smartphone concept needs if it is going to be based off any Linux distro and hell I think every smartphone should have this feature and Android should have it.

Linux Workspaces!

I would LOVE to be able to swipe up from the bottom to reveal multiple workspaces that I can set apps up to run in like you can with Linux and to also have them auto load to a particular workspace when I launch the app.

---------------

Overall your phone concept is nice...your tablet concept needs work...and please look into workspaces for your concepts. :)
[General Topics] swapnil360:
Thanks for the suggestions. The workspace system is just like Android (Multiple homescreens with widgets and icons). I like the idea of swiping down once for dash and with 2 fingers for HUD.

AND WHAT TABLET UI ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I DID NOT MAKE ANY TABLET UI.

Hi Mate,

Download an App called CPU Spy.

Power off the Note 2(do not restart) and turn it on.

Leave it for a few hours and make sure if the phone goes to deep sleep when not in use.

When u r charging the phone the state would be 200MHz so if you remove the Changer without turning on the screen it does not go to deep sleep.

So always turn on the Screen before removing this.....

Hope this helps
