[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishal Vignesh:
Do you use agni kernel?

Go to system settings then display and lights and scroll till the end, disable both notification and battery light and check....

If the light still is on make sure you are on stock kernel....

If the light goes away in stock kernel check agni settings after flashing agni,

If the light never goes, i dunno...

The step are ....root....after recovery (Odin)....full clean wipe...flash the rom from your external SD card....( of course you need to put before). If you are stuck in start up...means there was a mistake. Reflash the rom without Agni. V1 have his stock kernel. ...regards

all the while i thought i was using N7100 (note 2) but i was using a SHV-E250L variant of note 2. will try to download all stocks first, (kernel, FW, modem) and hope i can get this phone working again and hopefully be able to find a good working custom Rom.

Firstly flash TWRP for t0lte.

Then you must use kernel that is made specifically for your device after flashing the ROM for N7105 (t0lte). That's Widzard Kernel.

Unroot without losing data?

Is there a way to unroot my Note II without wiping out all my data? I got it from a friend who didn't do a factory reset before she gave it to me and didn't tell me it was rooted. I have been busily downloading all my apps and using it but some of the apps I get the message "SuperUser added to shell" and it shuts down. I just had my old phone do a crash and burn and really don't want to start over yet again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishal Vignesh:
How is it rooted...

Like king root...

Does it have supersu???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RhapsodyNC:
Kingo SuperUser is the app name that comes up. I have no idea how it is rooted besides that. It does have a ROM manager and some other apps that I can't get to delete even tho I don't want them.

I don't know how to play with the programming on these phones but I am very good at following instructions. :)

Also it used to be an AT&T phone (still has lots of AT&T apps that I would like to go away) but I currently have it on Straight Talk through a sim card.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artocube:
Hi there!

I got this Note II (N7100) recently for $60 from a local ad here in Greece. The problem is it keeps rebooting until the Samsung logo. I knew of the problem when I got it and thought I should try Odin, Kies etc etc as I did with past Note devices to make it alive again. Once I got it though, I discovered something freaking bad. The TWRP (yes, it is there in 3.0.2 edition) does NOT let me do ANYTHING. It shows 0MB internal storage. No wipe, no reset, no repair or anything else is possible since there IS NO INTERNAL STORAGE. The message (after, let's say, a wipe attempt) says "Unable to mount storage". Is that possible??? What has happened with this device and is there a way I can revive it? PLEASE HELP!

FACTS

- TWRP 3.0.2 is installed and boots ok

- By choosing "Install" in TWRP I can see a list of folders like: boot, cache, data, dev, efs, etc, lib, licence etc etc etc

- No wipe or advance wipe is possible ("Unable to mount storage)

- The Advanced>ADB Sideload option just freezes until I hit "Cancel". No matter how long I've waited

- The Mount>Select Storage option shows: Internal Storage (0MB) - Micro SDCard (0MB) - USB OTG (0MB)

- The Wipe>Format Data>"yes" option shows "Unable to mount storage" as a result too.

- Odin FAILS under every ROM I tried (even tried the PIT option following an xda thread)

- Kies do NOT recognize the device
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harish15:
Possibly, you have tried everything. Then maybe your storage is corrupted. Try flashing the PIT with Official Stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artocube:
I DID try that. Odin fails to connect correctly. Says "Waiting for device" (or something like that). The Odin proccess doesn't even start, although it seems that Odin realizes the device. Kies, on the other hand, do not find it at all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harish15:
Then maybe your storage have gone corrupted. Try nearby Samsung service centres and find the issue. And post their reply here. We might be able to help then.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artocube:
With a custom ROM being liable for all of this and TWRP installed, I don't believe I will get much different response from them than "Figure it out yourself".

Thanks anyway, man...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harish15:
Generally here in India, they try flashing the Stock in spite of custom roms. And considering the scenario with ur device and warranty. You might get an idea of the issue.. My guess is definitely the storage got corrupted.. Try replacing it. Good luck man.

USB OTG Problem

Hello

I have installed liquidsmooth V3.2 along with PSN Pure cm anyrom aroma v2.8.9 N7105.zip on my Note 2 N7105 everything seems fine apart from USB OTG neither file explorer sees the USB drive or the storage settings for USB which are greyed out.

Hello everyone! I don't know what to do with my dead Note 2 (2 yrs already). It doesn't boot anymore as the motherboard has been damaged (as per the technician). The repair costs ($72) or (Php 3500). I don't know if someone is still interested to buy it at a discount or if should i just throw it away.?*

I currently use an LG G3 stylus and an Xperia SP. I use my sony primarily for calling, texting, downloading, and slight browsing. I still use it as my primary phone because of LTE, otg,sp

nd i currently have the latest Android Nougat on it (CM 14.1). I use my LG g3 stylus mainly for gaming, watching movies, and browsing. Comparing the specs of Note 2 from my 2 active phones, i can't decide if it's reasonable or practical to shell out $72 for an outdated unit (2012), but the specs and features can still catch up with my 2 current units. See below

Main features that i use:

Gaming

Note 2 > G3 stylus > xperia sp

Camera?*

Note 2 > G3 stylus > xperia sp

Internal rom/ ram

Note 2 > xperia sp > g3 stylus

Multitasking

Note 2 > g3 stylus > xperia sp

OS version

Xperia sp (nougat/cm) > g3 stylus (lollipop) > note 2 (kitkat, but someone is working on porting Nougat)

Data speed?*

Xperia sp > note 2/ g3 stylus?*

Otg?*

Note 2 = xperia sp

Battery

G3 stylus > note 2 > xperia sp

Any advice will be much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to know if there is any stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 currently, that's running on Android Marshmallow( only MM not Jellybean) or at-least can be used as a daily driver? As I've searched a lot on XDA but couldn't find any. My phone is currently running on RR 5.7.3 . Great ROM, using it for past 6 months. But it has recently started giving me problems like frequent lags/freezes ,apps takes really long to open, Camera crashes. Since the current version of RR i.e. 5.7.4 isn't recommended by the devs, I'm stuck to this. Any help or guidance would be appreciated :)

Thank You in advance.

Hi!

My friends Note2 got laggy during the summer/autumn and just before Xmas it just shut off and she was never able to turn the device back on again.

The device is not rooted.

There is no external sd card, but there are some really precious photos in the phone

I manage to get to system recovery and Odin mode but that's it.

Is there any way to get the photos saved?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Try to flash your entire stock image with Odin. Then you might be able to reboot. It doesn't erase the internal storage, so your photos should be fine.

If it doesn't reboot, pull the sdcard/DCIM folder with ADB in recovery mode.

Edit: just a moment, is it a N7100? Hopefully it isn't a eMMC brickbug. Just try with the stock OS and Odin (versions 1.85 or 3.04)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Re_T:
Hi tetakpatak!

Thanks for the Odin versions tips. I've tried two different stock OS's, and I tried earlier with Odin's 3.12.5, and now also with 1.85 and 3.04.

-----

I'm aware that I've forgotten pretty much about the stuff that I knew earlier, since it's been now couple of years without fiddling around with roms etc. But now I am getting worried that the photos are stuck inside the phone for good.

And yes, the phone is GT-N7100.

[the phone says "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"..."

But nothing happens.

adb says "error closed" or "cannot read" the zip ]
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Mate, after checking your output I suppose that it is indeed possible, that the flash memory of your N7100 is "read only" now... unfortunatelly, many Samsung's devices face that problem.

I would nevertheless try several more times, some devices hibernate after some time in download mode, so try to prepare the files in Odin first (run it as administrator) and then turn on the phone in download mode short before flashing.

ADB sideload is a wrong option for you, no matter if you flash the stock OS (download mode & Odin there), or pull the DCIM folder in recovery mode (it should not be done in sideload mode).

First check the connection with the ADB and when you ensure it is there, then enter the command:

adb pull /sdcard/DCIM

That should do it. DCIM is possibly quite a big folder so it could take several minutes until it is copied. If the cmd looks "frozen" during that time, it is normal.

Good luck mate, I hope you will save both your photos and the phone!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Re_T:
Thanks tetakpatak, very kind of you to try to help me out here, I really appreciate it! :good:

Unfortunately things aren't looking too good, I'm either missing something or doing something wrong, or the phone is just too busted.

I've been trying with different Odin's, and three different roms. I've tried different compatibility modes (my laptop Win 8.1), and also with different USB-ports and cables.

About the sideload,

I go on my phones system recovery -> apply update from ADB. [where it goes to "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload "..."]

And from my computer platform tools -> open command window here -> adb devices. The phone shows on the list of devices attached, but it also says "sideload".

Device Manager states Samsung Android ADB Interface.

If I write "adb pull /sdcard/DCIM" then I only get "adb: error : connect failed: closed"

All the possible fixes I can find elsewhere would need root.

I'm not sure if there would be some difference if I would be able to find an .img rom? (I'm not even sure if they exists in this case)

I'm not an completely noob with these things, but unfortunately it does not look good with the phone. I've never encountered a problem like this even though there's been quite many problems with Samsung (and Sony's) phones earlier, but those battles I've always won.

And now I am starting to feel that I'm going to lose this time, and it sucks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Dear mate, that is exactly the point, maybe I didn't express myself clear enough: when you boot your phone in the recovery mode, you don't have to do anything else to pull the folder, so please don't choose the option "apply update from ADB"

That is exactly the way to turn on the sideload, and you don't want to do that.

I must admit that I have never used Samsung's stock recovery, so I don't know if the permissions of the recovery allow you to pull the folder.

If it doesn't work, then just flash a custom recovery and reboot recovery. Then it should work with pulling the folder. If you need that step, mind just that it is Samsung's speciality to somehow override the custom recovery with the stock one just after flashing. So if you have to flash the custom recovery with Odin, the way around is to uncheck in Odin the option "auto-reboot", run the phone into download and connect it with USB cable, then flash the custom recovery (as a tar file under PDA), after successful flashing wait for 30 seconds, then disconnect the cable and turn off the phone and restart it directly into the recovery mode with the three buttons combo.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Re_T:
Ok, I've ended up choosing that option, because it is the only way the phone will connect to the laptop whilst in recovery mode. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the phone a couple of times.

As far as I can see, I am doing things exactly as you advice. I'm still trying to flash stock/custom recovery, but without any luck.

There must be something I am missing, and it can be just one step.

Because I've never seen this phone before I don't even know if the bootloader is locked, or if that could be a problem.

I'm baffled, and this is getting really embarrassing. :o

[I don't know any of the settings there's been in the phone, nor if the bootloader is locked. I don't even know what rom it had when it stopped working.

All I know about the phone is that it's bought in Finland. It got laggy before it stopped working. When powered on, it stuck's at the Samsung logo. I can get to recovery mode (pic in earlier reply) and Odin mode. If I plug the charge cable the screen shows a pic of a battery, but nothing else happens, it's just static.]
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Don't worry, Samsung GT-N7100 has an unlocked bootloader by default. Only some US providers deliver devices with locked boorloaders, but the devices have different type No

I hope you will make it! [emoji106]

The last option is the service, it will cost something, but if really nothing else works, they could possibly save your photos....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Re_T:
Thanks tetakpatak!

I guess I'll just have to try to uninstall everything and start from scratch and check that I get everything right. Drivers, platform tools, odins etc.

I really appreciate your help and putting up with me! :good:
