[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I'm a little concerned about my current predicament.

A month ago I bought a rooted Galaxy Note II second hand. I have had no problems with it until Saturday morning.

On Saturday I plugged it in - it was flat because the battery had ran out of juice from the previous night. I left it off and plugged in. I returned not long after to a slight burning smell, and the phone was roasting hot.

I could turn it on, but it hasn't charged, still showing 1% and cutting out immediately. Any time you plug in within seconds, it overheats.

It has burned in one spot, and burned the battery cover as well.

Obviously I am not impressed, it could have burned the place down if I'd left it on overnight.

However, the device has been rooted, and can be turned on but it will damage it more if you do. It has had a theme applied to it that could only be done with a rooted phone so it is blatantly obvious.

I've put in a support call with Samsung who are going to send out a bag to send it off to them in. I would have preferred to send them an unrooted phone, but obviously not practical and I don't know anyone else with a Note 2. I also don't want to buy replacement components in case I make it worse or damage those.

Anyone faced a similar predicament, and what was done about it?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sos_sifou:
Well, in this case, a melted phone is very dangerous, they should or must send you a new one just to not report it to the police or the media!

I think the problem was in the battery, it's the only component that can get so hot and even it can explode in some conditions.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
My concern is they try to say that it was the fact the phone was rooted that caused it to overheat... although it was switched off at the time.

Don't worry I won't let it go without a fight, but am unsure about what rights I may or may not have.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jobiza:
Try to run triangle away, before you return it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Phone is totally flat, and will only turn on when the battery is connected, and it is connected to the mains. It will overheat with a minute.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
In Norway, and I assume in the EU too, they have to prove that there is a connection between the broken phone and the fact that it is rooted to void warranty. No worries then if there's similar legislature in your country.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc-rocks:
What if you charge it with usb cable connected to a computer? Does it still overheat?

Alternatively, do you know any1 with a note 2 whos battery you can borrow?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnumutz:
Try buying a spare battery. And then try triangle away. Put the faulty battery back in the phone and send it to Samsung.

It's way cheaper than having to pay for the full phone repair.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
This thread's funny. A second hand phone received or bought rooted which could have been using a different kernel, been OC'd, or had any of a laundry list of mods done to it overheats. Since none of that can be ruled out, why is there any reason to alert the media or expect Samsung to be responsible for something that's most likely not a defect but customer induced damage? With millions sold I'd expect more reports of phone's melting if there was some sort of common or repeatable fault. Best of luck OP but your fate will be determined by Samsung's graciousness and not you claiming that a rooted second-hand device somehow combusted on its own having nothing to do with what you or the first owner did to it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
To be fair if it's not charging the battery at all and just overheating/melting the phone it sounds more like a hardware issue than a software one. Something in the charging circuit is screwed up by the sounds of it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crescendo Xenomorph:
idk if this help, last time my S2 also got some issue so I go to SC and the guy there said that I voided my warranty coz I rooted it.

And that statement made me angry, so I said to him in angry tone: why the hell you say its illegal to root and voided my warranty becoz I root my phone. If that's illegal, why the hell Superuser/SuperSU/any root tools exist in Google Play and Google let it in there for a long time? I bought this phone by my money so I have right to install anything in play store.

Then they unable to say something and fix my phone rightaway and told me to be careful next time.

So, rooting isn't illegal, its in Google Play anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emprize:
ask yr friends or someone borrow a battery and reset the counter first
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I don't know anyone with an N2 so I can't borrow a battery, I'd have to buy one.

I'll try plugging it just into the computer, I suppose with less power going in, it might not overheat. I've been reluctant to plug it back in.

Phone is running standard kernel, it was only rooted, with a replacement status bar added, and CWM installed. Nothing special.

Ideally, I would need to flash it back to standard though, so I'll need to find out the easiest / quickest way to do this, and, possibly, reset the counter.

I suppose its possible they will refuse to fix it. If I am, that is me massively out of pocket, and I won't be rooting anything ever again, even buying second hand is losing its appeal.

Heck, as I can't afford to replace it, I now may be stuck with this Nokia Lumia 800 I had to buy as an "emergency" phone, which is actually not a bad little machine in many respects (obviously tiny though).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidizen:
Given the near fatal consequences of a battery explosion you shouldnt have any problems Samsung will be much more interested in working out why it happened and avoiding any negative PR about their flagship handset.

However if they can proove that it was the root that caused the burn out (we all know thats not the likely reason) then they may reject the device and tell you it was all your fault. at that point take it to the media.

to me it sounds like the charging circuit has failed and instead of passing charge to the battery its built up in the circuit, mechanical failure can't see how a root would cause that. Were you using the sammy charger, cable and battery?

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

Ye that was my thought wonder if OP has original sammy cable and charger or was given a third party one?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Yes I did indeed use the original charger and cable (it looks original too, not like a knock off). In general, in the past, I've had issues using chargers mean't for other devices, usually just slow charging though rather than it blowing up.

The fact the phone was turned off when it was being charged suggests to me, like you say, that its a proper hardware fault.

We shall see. I'm waiting for the jiffy bag to send it back, it will be at least 2 weeks till I get it back (maybe longer now with Xmas coming up).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BratPAQ:
Take a picture of the burned note2 first, maybe you can use it as a "leverage" when the time comes. You know how burned phone have negative impact on products marketing.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veroby:
Is anyone else having loads of problems with clockwork mod and rom manager since updating to 4.2.1

For me RM doesnt do anything and I CWM keeps will not re-flash a backup unless its 4.2.1. Even though I copy n past to new directory where CWM keeps backups but will not reflash them. Also everytime after I use CWM it seems to delete itself and i have to reflash via the command line. Help welcome. Thx in advance....

Update: Not sure if its RM or CWM. Have just worked out CWM is deleting itself everytime after use. IT doesnt leave any other option once you try to re-boot device from CWM....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
There's a file in /system that you should either rename or delete called: recovery-from-boot.p

That reloads the stock Android recovery at each reboot. Then once you have renamed/deleted it, reflash CWM Recovery again from the command line and it should stick now.

You're using the latest CWM Recovery correct? I don't use RM or CWMR at all (TWRP), so I may not be able to totally help out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veroby:
Hey thx - I have always used them and found them to be easy tools in the past. Dont really want to change to TWRP but it seems all recommendations are leaning towards and its the way to go with 4.2.1. Thx again... I have to ask why that file exist in the first place. Just to catch donkeys like me out.....Also if you know and are still around. Is there a way to restore old backups from 4.1.1
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I've had no issues flashing 4.1.1/4.1.2 ROMs to 4.2.1 and vice versa...but again I'm using TWRP Recovery.

The file is in the stock images from Google, and it's there to reload stock Android recovery at boot...other than that I'm not sure of the exact reasoning.

I know that Android 4.2 has multi-user support, and that has been the cause for many issues with 4.2 in general due to it creating a folder /sdcard/0...so flashing multiple 4.2 ROMs without the latest CWM Recovery version 6.0.1.9 would cause another folder created there at /sdcard/0/0...and so on. If you created another user, they would have their own folder at /sdcard/1...and so on.

I would make sure that you have the latest CWM Recovery flashed to your device, then put your backup in the correct folder. From what I remember when using RM and CWM, there's the folder for your backup and then one level up from that there's the blobs folder, you'll need BOTH of those in order to restore things, as the blobs folder is the backup.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
Let my Nexus 4 run down to 1% charge, then turned it off to charge it. Turned it back on when it was almost fully charged and then left it on the charger for another 15 minutes or so. When I took it off and started using it, I noticed that my weather and calendar widgets were no longer on my home screens. I think that's odd, so I go to re-add them, and notice that they are not in the widget drawer. So I open up Google play, and sure enough, they are not listed as even "Installed." So I look around a bit more and notice several other apps I downloaded have somehow gone missing, including Screen Off and Lock and Audio Manager Pro.

Not a huge deal I guess, but has anybody else experienced missing apps upon reboot after phone has been off for a few hours? Mildly disturbing.

Edit: WTF just noticed Lite Flow is gone, too. That one kind of annoys me since it takes a few minutes to set up.

Edit 2: WTF that hsic wakelock bug is now also worse than it previously was. Previously it caused about a 2% wakelock for me. Since boot, it has caused a 9% wakelock. It's never been that high for me before. Gotta admit I'm increasingly disturbed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
Only time i was missing apps was after flashing a custom rom and using tb to restore apps and not all showed up like lightflow as you mentioned had to set them up again.

For the explanation what the APN is you can use the web because my english is to bad for that :) Just this: If you want to use Data conection or send/receive mms, u need it.

Scroll down the notification bar and keep pressed the Data toggle or go to

Settings->more Settings(Point 4)->mobile networks(Point 2)->access points(Point3)

open it, press menue and select delete.

Search the web for the correct Carrier/Provider Data.

I am running the latest nightly and also have the newest modem (k3) and rpm installed. I have used other modems as well. I live in fernandina beach, fl signal is great lte speeds no signal drops. I go to Kingsland, ga a lot for work and I am always dropping signal I don't have this problem on stock. Is there something I can do to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dohturdima:
Yes - flash back to stock, or run a TW rom. My experience with CM10 (when I ran it on OG Epic) was 1) great features 2) not-so-great bugs. I've learned my lesson, will just root/unlock and debloat, maybe TW rom but that's it.

I believe it means what it says. Original meaning by developer/development team and only them. The other forum is for different variations of existing roms/kernels etc. Like taking a piece of this and that and giving credit to original developers. Something along these lines.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShotSkydiver:
Based off of madmack's CM10 port and his kernel/audio changes for our device, I've compiled the latest ParanoidAndroid from source based off of the N71000 and modified it for our device.

There are... more than a few issues. This is more of a practice build for me, as it's one of the first I've built from source. The issues with my build on top of madmack's CM10 port are:

- No audio (I'm not sure why, I included all of madmack's audio modifications in my build, and even directly copied the audio framework files from his latest CM10 zip)

- No data: I'm 99.9% sure this is due to a non-existent APN, but when you try to edit the APNs in Settings, it just brings you back to the main Settings screen.

- No call audio issue is back - madmack, what did you do to solve this, and did you commit the changes to your github?

If someone could take a look at my build and discover why the audio won't work, and why the settings kicks you out of the APN screen, that would be great. I can't figure out what's wrong. Everything else works just as well as the CM10 build, however.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] heroskyy:
Hey, thanks for directing me here.

In my build im almost positive I had the audio working, but it was really late so im not 100% sure.

Still the same exact issue as far as wifi/no data/cant edit apn's...but I have to assume part of that may be a kernel problem, or like you said, due to possible lacking apk's. I'll mess around with it more tonight though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShotSkydiver:
I'm not so sure it's a kernel problem, because all three of those things are working on the CM10 build. Even when I flash madmack's newest kernel over this build these issues are still not resolved. I'm trying to figure out how to build the APN settings into the ROM to bypass the settings issue.

I'm letting Ubuntu compile straight from PA source at the moment, combined with madmack's git modifications for our phone. However, any recent fixes he made (including fixing call audio) will not be present until he uploads newer versions to his git.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] heroskyy:
Ahhh, good point. I hadn't gotten to try his newest kernel or updates yet.

While building the APN settings to the ROM may work, I still find it disheartening and a tad irritating that you cant even edit any mobile network selection. That indicates to me that there's a problem more so in the frame work of the ROM (lacking apks, kernel malfunction, etc) that isn't allowing any data to be edited or retrieved.

I've also wondered about flashing an AT&T modem over top the Paranoid ROM . I feel that may be another thing that would explain the inability to edit APN setting and to not have any form of data or WIFI. Though...I don't know why that wouldn't be the case for the current CM10 build...unless its because the Paranoid build was solely intended for the N7100..O.o Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wuelfman:
ohhhhh

this would be very good :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] heroskyy:
Just a heads up:

Im planning on merging all the newest material for the most recent cm10 build with paranoid, as well as modifying the att modem to (hopefully) integrate it into the paranoid frame work tonight. If my theory is correct, it should solve most issues with this rom, but may retain some of the most current cm10 issues. If it works ill post a thread in the development section for testing.
