Don't feel bad OP. I bricked/messed up a Verizon vx6900 with a Sprint Touch ROM back in 2008. Ever since then I read and ask questions. That's why this website is here. Ask even if you're not 100% sure.

But for me I'm not rooting until a know that the process is rock solid for the Verizon model. We just got to wait. Be patient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
LMFAO!!!! Unbelieveable..... Thats all folks!! My bad for laughing but .... yeah.... do what you need to do OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icomrade:
It's YOUR choice to stay with them, no one is forcing you to stay and no one is forcing you to go. If you are pissed at them don't make them pay for your mistake, the OP should have done some more research, no one made him brick his phone and no one stopped him, it was his choice. Regardless of how expensive their service is it is not an excuse for them to pay for a new phone for you, that's just obsurd, and life isn't always about getting even.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shook187:
So let me get this straight, if you was in his shoes and bricked your device and you had a return window of 14 days would you just accept it as a loss? I'm sure you wouldn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellydroid13:
No but im sure in a few days we will have the odin tar. If it was hardbricked then yes I would take it back but its only a soft brick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Smart and responsible people who have patience wouldn't be in his position.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icomrade:
I have bricked phones before, and no I didn't send it back. I suppose you either learn to critically think and avoid a problem, or learn to exploit the system to fix it for you. It says a lot about the person you are.

I'll be honest I've done it before with a computer part, and it worked, but I've never done it after that because it's just not right, and it sucks when it happens to you when the shoe is on the other foot, I.e. eBay. I suppose learning to make these decisions is part of maturing.

I work very hard for my money and I respect that other people do the same, including the seemingly fascist, money grubbing thieves, that work at Verizon (I'm being facetious). It's not like they told you that you pay 50 dollars a month for 10Gb of data and only gave you 2 for the same price, I don't know what you have against them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
It's a soft brick - they'll send it back to Samsung, restore it, and refurbish the unit. Unless something is physical broken, software is an easy fix. It's more of an administrative cost occurred than loosing product.

Don't get me wrong, you shouldn't do procedures on your device that haven't been confirmed as working or verifiable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkhalil06:
screw verizon

take that b*tch back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iofthestorm:
Exactly, this is why Verizon locks bootloaders. Although perversely by locking the bootloader they make it much harder for a user to recover from a brick but that's their (somewhat flawed) reasoning. People who return devices they bricked are why we can't have nice things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
I'm little confused.....Toolkit is supposed to unlock bootloader and root the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Not on verizon it wont.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
Yea, very dumb, lesson learned. Ignore the extremely useless moralizing and go back to the store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chakra:
I'm just blown away that someone would do that. Not return it but try and root it. I mean doesn't everyone one know that Verizon locks the boot loader? one google search and you know. That's kind of like getting in your car turning it on and gunning it in drive, then looking to see if its clear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
but it did on vw galaxy nexus
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Its a Nexus. Not even verizon will be able to lock down a nexus without catching heat from Google

Note II (SCH-I605) Soft Fuzzy Brick

I am having an issue with my Note II. I tried to flash a new bootloader to facilitate the installation of the KitKat based Ditto Note 3 rom. I, in my failure to read 6 posts down, used mobileOdin to try and accomplish this using the software links in the DN3 rom forum. My phone is now a plush, soft brick. I can get into download mode. Given this, I have been trying to flash my phone using Odin for windows only to have it fail every time. I have tried different roms, partitions, bootloaders, versions of Odin, PCs, cables and even a couple of different poses. I am not new to rooting and roms, every android device I own is rooted and running custom roms. Any help from those who are definitely more knowledgeable than myself (the XDA community) would be GREATLY appreciated.

Phone Information:

Was running MeanBeanICE

Verizon phone

In download (Odin) mode:

Product Name: GT-N7100

Custome Binary Download: no

Current Binary: Official

System Status: Custom

Warranty Bit: 0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
If I'm not mistaken, you flashed a bootloader for a different model. Which is why in download mode it show your phone as GT-N7100. Could be wrong though. The only way I know of to fix this is in the following thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2615587
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdawgg777:
I've done that process. Very tricky... also I totaly wasted my internal emmc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] talonzme:
I could not get Odin or anything to fix the bad flash. I sent the phone to mobiletechvideos.com for JTAG repairs. Phenomenal work and turn around time. I normally like to work through the issue and learn but I was out of options on this one.

Is anyone else having problems deleting voicemails in Google Voice? I delete them, but they show up again in my inbox a few minutes later. I've even gone as far as deleting them from the trash on the desktop version of voice, yet they still won't go away. Any idea what's going on?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] sbasinger:
Same thing is happening on my brother's Nexus 4. Once deleted, they reappear a few minutes later. When you try to delete them again, the "delete" option is replaced with "undelete", creating a never-ending loop of reappearing messages.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] usafle:
That happens now on every device I have the Google Voice APK installed on. While one is on, the others are powered off. I clear out the V/M and texts on the one device, turn on the other device days later and it still pulls down all the texts/voicemails I've already deleted. The only way to get rid of them is by clearing data on the APP
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donec:
AFAIK the only way to delete Google Voice items is to go into the Google Voice website (not via an app) via a web browser and delete them there.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] razholio:
I know this is technically a question, but I was hoping to spark some discussion on filesystems in android.

I just got a 64GB microSDXC card and I know that the LGOG is compatible with it. I just checked and noticed that:

a. it comes preformated with exfat and

b. my ubuntu install is not cool with that.

I'm all linux over here, so I'd actually prefer something like ext4, or something more flash-storage specific (forget, but there were several flash-friendly FS's in the works way back) and I'm just fine with the 'other OS's' not being able to mount my microsd card.

The primary concern, of course, is what the LGOG is gonna require. At first I thought this would have to be exFAT, but seeing as FAT32 supports up to 2TiB, maybe FAT32 is still the only option? I tried ext4 in my xperia ION, and it wouldn't mount unless it was FAT32.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonJoel:
If you want mount it in CWM , I'm pretty sure it has to be FAT32.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] razholio:
good point, though at this point I'm unlikely to use CWM on this device, though, that could change. I've just read that many people are opting for NTFS on their sdcards in android to avoid the 4GB file-size limit of FAT32. I had no idea android supported NTFS, though linux support is quite good at this point apparently, so that makes sense....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] razholio:
I formatted NTFS (in linux, tho) and the stock LGOG firmware refused to mount it, so I guess I'm stuck with FAT32....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Fracto:
You can format the SD cart to ext4 using Gparted and it should be usable and much faster than FAT32. I've formatted my SanDisk 64 SDXC to two separate partitions so that I can utilize the primary partition for storage and the secondary partition for apps synced with Link2SD. Works quite nicely formatted into two 29GB partitions.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] razholio:
does this work with stock firmware? I tried ext4 on my ion and it would not mount the external SD card formatted with ext4.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Yoreo:
I'll have to download a live CD and try that out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] doblebo:
I'm also primarily a linux user. I have been using fat32 on my 64gb class 10 card and recommend it for convenience.

I did try exfat and although I did not run benchmarks, I think exfat is slightly faster (and I'm sure ext4 would be faster that fat32). However, you cannot beat the convenience of downloading a zip file straight to your card and installing via CWM all in just a few minutes.

It's no ext4 and so I lose a tiny bit of peace of mind, but it's worth it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Has anyone else tried this?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Yeah I formatted mine into one 50 Gb partition (User) and another 9 GB partition (apps) and Link2SD works great. However, for apps that download additional data into the obb folder it doesn't move that over. Another thing to note is the highest app that I linked only saved about 50 MBs. Not really saving that much space but after I linked several 50 MB and under apps, I recovered about 1 GB of space on the Internal. It's worth it and not that complicated.

I you want to try: Backup your SD, format it to Fat32, use MiniTool to resize the first partition, then create a second partition (FAT 32 and make sure it is Primary, Don't use ext4 it didn't work for me) using the remaining space.

EDIT: Even 9 GBs is too large. Anyone who is gonna try this, you would only need about 3 to 6 GBs for Link2SD. I also tried using GL to SD in combination with Link2SD and had some issues.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Okay, in the morning I'll make a 50gb the exfat partition for use in android and a 9gb FAT32 for recovery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
I think you misunderstood. The first partition will be used for files and recovery in android and must be FAT32. You can use another format but I haven't tested any others. I also know the recovery won't recognize any other format besides FAT32. The second partition can only be used for link2sd and the only one I got to work was FAT32.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I don't use Link2SD. Just exfat for music, videos, and map data and FAT32 for Android crap and recovery.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] firatkocak:
Hi everybody,

Sorry if i am in the wrong place. I have a Tinji Mobile GT-I9300 SIII clone. Its stock battery performance is too much poor. Watching about 1 hour and 30 minutes video while all the sensors are off ( except cell raido ). I want to buy a battery better in performance. The stock battery is labeled with the same model code as SIII original battery which is EB-L1G6LLU 2100 mAh. But it has 3 connection pins different from the original SII battery which has 4 connection pins. My battery dimensions are Length:63.20mm, Width:50.08mm, Height:4.41 mm.

Anyone can check these values with the original SIII battery ? If it matches, i am intending to buy one or two.

Thanks,

Firat

Length: 5 cm (1.9685 inches)

Height: 6,3 cm (2.48031 inches)

Width: 0,5 cm (0.19685 inch)

Also, not only the dimensions matter cause there are some cutouts on the corners (see pic)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] firatkocak:
thank you very much

Hi,

thank you very much for your response.It helped me very much. Dimensions are the same as my current battery and also cutouts on the corners are same, either. Absolutely identical. Interestingly, the phone dimensions ( except the tickness, a litle bit ticker than original ) are the same, even though mine has a 4.6" display that is slightly smaller than the original one which is 4.8".

I ordered the extended batteries. will see if it really fits.

thank you very much again.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jaspjmvp:
Hi! have you got the batteries? are them ok with your phone? I am in the same situation than you, so I'd like to know if the batteries fits with a tinji S3 clone!!

Thank you!

jasp
[Galaxy S III Accessories] firatkocak:
Hi,

Yes, i have received them. Dimension are OK. There is a plastic part on the pins side of the battery i received that helps the battery be securely held in its place. But that does not match of my phone's battery holder. In fact, with some sharp material that part may be cut to make it fit in the battery holder. I did not try it, because the back cover received with the battery does not lock my phone.

I sold them to someone else that has an original S III and he got pleased with both battery and back cover and the performance of the battery itself.

I hope this helps....

I apologize if this has been asked and answered but I have been unable to locate a definitive answer.

When using the CMUpdater built into the CM10 system ROM does it wipe the user data or is it simply an update of the system?

I ask because my CM10 update failed to install and I was going to attempt to boot into recovery and install it manually. But if it is going to wipe the system than I might wait. The only issue I seem to be having is sending MMS messages. I can send to some and not to others and I was hoping maybe an update from the nightly might fix that issue.

Anyone have suggestions for a good scratch remover?

My Note 2 mysteriously has a scratch and I think I've narrowed it down to the little metal button thing on my jeans for that little pocket I never use (which I'll probably remove and destroy :P). My SG2's screen never got scratched by it, but apparently my Note 2 isn't as lucky. Should be getting the screen cover soon but hoping there's something that can remove or even just minimize the current scratch, which is not too bad, but bad enough to bother me.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
I dont have any specific but toothpaste (not the gel) and go in a circular pattern over the scratch gently. I have never done this but I have heard of it many times. Apparently it works about 50% of the time for hairline/smsll scratches. Worst case is it does not work and you get a fresh mint smelling phone lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
this a trick used on cd's and dvd's when they have scratches. Personally never worked all that well for me and usually leaves a gooey mess. I would be very careful if trying this as likely you will get the toothpaste into the scratch and not get it out and make it worse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevessvt:
Plus isnt there a anti finger print coating that would get worn away?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
This is a bad idea. You cluld end up etching

Really fine scratches into the glass..

.think car paint swirls
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mastajest:
Never heard of toothpaste being a scratch remover...think I'll skip it though. Don't see how that would work. I looked up products online but wanted to see if anyone in the forums had already tried and found a good one. There was mention about the fingerprint coating being removed by those products, and I wasn't sure if that applied to this screen too. Guessing most screens have it now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mysticfrog:
ahhhh no I would never in a million years put tootpaste on this device... funny tho..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
it works to get scratched dvds and cds to play, used it a number of times with some success on dvds from blockbuster, the toothpaste acts like fine sandpaper, but it never worked that well for me, my friends used it pretty successfully to fix cd's though.

I'm not sure if this message is a HTC thing or a JellyBean thing but its driving me crazy, my Bionic didn't have it. I use Llama to control all sorts of stuff on my phone but when Llama turns on the GPS it doesn't complete the action because of that damn popup asking me to confirm GPS powering on!! When I look at my phone later in the day the first thing I see is the screen waiting for me :(

Download this app, called Sensor View:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytemystery.sensorview&hl=ro

and switch to accelerometer, orientation, and gyro, and see if it shows anything when you move the device. If it doesn't, it probably is a hardware problem.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesLumos:
Had this once

Hi,

I also had this once with Android Revolution HD (4 or earlier..) Programs like the suggested showed absolutely no reaction from the gyroscope so I really thought I ruined something.

Wiped everything and flashed a stock rom, that helped at last.

It might however actually be the gyroscop defect...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toofank:
I tried the app. The values didnt change.

My gyroscope isnt working either btw :( tried few games and can steer to left and right.

Im gonna do a stock flash and if it still dont work, deliver it in for warranty fix.

I'll let u know if its a software issue.

I am running stock rom and I don't know if the Note 2 is supposed to work upside down (I use it like that all the time when I am charging it in portrait mode) but it doesn't so I installed Ultimate Rotation Control (a hold over from the stock nexus 7 rom days when it wouldn't autorotate). It should work in your situation, try it and let us know.

perseus and redpill give the autorotation/gyroscope problem. while Neak, Notecore and other kernels that dont have fatex support dont give that issue!

The sad part is that I MUST have fatex support so i can swap my ext sd with int sd.

any other kernels besid eredpil & persues that lets me do that??

also .. the main q is... why did this suddenly start happening? I used those kernels before without any gryo/rotation issues.

Had the same issue...i was swapping between cm 10.1 and jb leak and suddenly autorotation was all over the place(not coming back to portrait) even after reflashing clean instal(cm10.1 or jb leak)...for me the fix was kind off lucky...disabled(unselect) calibration in cm10.1 under system settings/system/calibration and it all came back to normal...

may come handy for others too
