after 4.4.2 update screen not responding after a while

OK, phone is now dead. Charged the battery separately just in case but no button pushing in any formation works. Tried plugging in computer didn't help.

Hi there, I have just updated to 4.4.2 from 4.3. It works OK, except after a period of not using the phone the screen will not respond when I try to activate it. this includes tapping the screen hitting the buttons and variations. I have a red light on at the time I cannot access the screen,

I tried deleting numerous apps that I thought could be a problem.

It works fine when the screen is kept on. I am in the middle of doing a factory wipe/reset again using my saved google and Samsung back-ups.

Do you have any ideas as to what it could be please?

Just an observation, does the International version update have variants for each region. When I bought the unlocked N2 it came from Honk Kong, seemed to be for the Spanish market and when I got the 4.3 OTA update noticed the software is for Trinidad and Tobago. I live in the UK.

Thanks in advance

Can't update bootloader

Hi everyone.

I've never had experience with Samsung phones and very little with Android (and better never do with either, if it was my choice), but my wife bought N7100 recently, and this was the beginning of problems.

It was bought in China (original one, not fake), according to its serial it was initially sold in HongKong (TGY code) and then reflashed to Chinese firmware (CHN) 4.1.2 when she bought it. It worked more or less fine, but had no Russian keyboard, despite the interface had this locale. Weird, eh?

After some googling and reading forums I've managed to flash Russian firmware (SER) 4.4.2. I had to delete modem.bin, tz.img, param.bin and sboot.bin from tar file, otherwise Odin threw an error when flashing these parts. After reboot WiFi stopped turning on. Ok, some more googling and reading forums... "Bootloader issue", I was told, "You have an old MB3 bootloader, and you need at least MJ5 for WiFi on 4.4.2 to work". Well, neither one of ways I tried to update the thing worked.

Desktop Odin 1.85, 3.07, 3.09... - threws an error

Zip file via CWM recovery - instant reboot, nothing changes

adb shell - I typed the following

su ($ prompt changes to #, so the latter is executed as root)
dd if=/sdcard0/sboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (reports some records in/out, success)
dd if=/sdcard0/tz.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (reports some records in/out, success)
reboot fota_bl (after reboot I see the same MB3 bootloader)

At the moment I flashed 4.1.2 TGY - WiFi works, kinda.When I turn it on, the phone stops responding immediately (almost every time) or within few minutes (if I'm lucky).

Any ideas how to fix it?

DropboxOOBE error

Hi everyone, I got a problem with my phone when flashing Ditto Note 3 v5.2.

Whenever I try to finish the setup wizard, the samsung account registration part, I can neither skip the process or sign in, or create a new account. It keeps on giving me this error:

"Unfortunately, DropboxOOBE stopped working."

I tried to search it, and I've manage to stumble a similar problem with someone replying a solution of cache wipe, or full wipe and reflashing of the ROM.

I did all of the said solution but for some reason, I can't still get pass that registration. Is there anyway to solve this problem?

Hello member,

I have a little issue with my Galaxy Note2.

About three months ago I flashed cm10.2 on my device. Before that i had just stock-rom with root acces.

A couple of days ago I got an update from Cyanogenmod to install. I tried it but there was an error. After that it just booted normally, but my gmail account wouldn't sync and my playstore couldn't open.

I deleted my google account so i could add it as a new one. That didn't word because it couldn't reach the server at that time, but it worked on other devices.

After that i did a factory reset, but then were my internet apps and my google playstore removed. So i didn't get acces to the internet because there was no app to excecute the html file.

After that there was one option left for me, i flashed a stock-rom (Android 4.4.2) without root on my device and everything was good to go.

My internet and playstore were available and mij google account worked again without problems. But there was a new security called KNOX where i didn't know anything about. I thought it was just an new app.

After all i wanted a rooted device so i tried rooting it with Odin 3.07, on the pc screen it said pass, but my phone gives a pop-up each time it boots with saying: supersu stopped working.

And if i install an app to confirm my root it says you dont have root acces.

Q: is it possible to flash cm10.2 back on my device without triggering KNOX? Because i think that it denied my root in the first place.

KNOX warrenty is allready 0×1

Thanks in advance and sorry about my english.

After that

Something is screwed up. The best you can do is to flash a stock firmware with Odin.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

After following the procedure on dr.ketans thread to installing stock firmware/rooting:

1.Open Odin and select PDA tab

2.Point to extracted file CF-Auto-Root-***.tar.md5 (see image below)

3.Now switch off device and reboot in download mode

press Vol down + Home +Power, And then, press Volume UP button in Warning Page to enter the Download Mode

4.Connect device to PC and wait till device successfully added to com port (it will turn light blue) (see image below)

5.Hit ‘Start’ to flash

6.Once it flashed successfully, you can see 'PASS' in table above the ID :COM, you can disconnect device from PC

7.Reboot device and you will have superSU in application drawer.

Im getting an error with supersu , it says "unfortunately supersu has stopped" although my device is rooted and everything :D

Hi everyone,

has anyone solved the problem with the accelerometer not working? I own a Note 2.

here's my story:

my phone used to function properly until I upgraded to Android 4.3 last year. Ever since, the accelerometer hasn't worked properly till it completely stopped working.

After the initial upgrade to Android 4.3, the accelerometer would work for a day at best, then nothing. Restoring the phone back to factory default helped for a sole day, then nothing again. So, I decided to try custom roms. The ones I tried are OmniRom and CyanogenMod. The same happened. The accelerometer would work for just a day at best (sometimes it only worked for a couple of hours... you can imagine how many times I reset the phone lol) then stopped working again. Oh, I forgot that rapidly shaking the phone somehow "re-calibrated" the sensor

After a few weeks of endless, useless attempts to fix the problem, I gave the accelerometer my final salute. it's never worked again since.

Upgrading to KitKat didn't fix it.

Any idea on how this can be solved? I've searched everywhere... and I've come up with nothing....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
If u install any ROM, ur warranty is gone forever. If u tinker with the phone, knox is going to trip for sure.

My advice: if u r in warranty period, don't do anything. If u don't want to trigger knox, just don't do anything.

Also knox does not interfere with flashing process. U can flash as many times as you want. Making nandroid backup is always good. Better still, download the stock firmware from Sammobile for ur phone.

In worst case scenario, all u need is a stock firmware and PC odin.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Assuming that you are on a rooted phone. Do following things:

1. Use Dr. Ketan's Aroma to backup EFS folder. Other applications may screw up EFS.

2. ODIN

PC Odin flashes ROM and 4.4 bootloader. While Mobile Odin keeps the 4.3 bootloader and flashes the ROM.

4.3 bootloader is handy if u want to return to 4.3 for whatever reasons.

3. If u r not rooted, OTA update is good enough. U should be running 4.4.2 without any problems whatsoever. No need to backup anything in this case.

If you want to have connection for access to the storage of your phone you must install Samsung mobile USB driver first. After that, connect the phone and wait until installing device is done.
