Ive heard this before and while I think about that a lot im not the best at explaining stuff. (family constantly tells me that every time i explain something it all goes completely over their head.) Hell just watch one of my how-to's itll show you that i cant explain this stuff to a n00b for shiit. With that said I will give this and the s3 thread a revamp soon to try to outline this better.

Also meant to answer and kinda forgot after seeing patch cover it. While i'm not sure why it happens (and honestly rarely get it) the error is still present. Not really an issue so not at the top of the to-do list but trust me its on there and i'm workin on it

My wifi connection keeps triggering on an off after flashing this back from ma5 stock leak. I did factory data reset and wiped cache and dalvik cache before flashing. Any idea on a fix
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] billard412:
Cant say why. Didnt have that problem rolling back from any of the leaks. Sure its not the "connection optimizer" doing it?

Ugh.. I think I might have messed up something. So I tried this and then it gave me an error on my phone..It rebooted and then it would just boot loop. Ok I thought I'll just Odin back .. but everytime I tried any TAR to Odin it would just stop at cache.img.. I am able to get into TWRP and when I tried a restore, it restored fine, but then it would say

E: Unable to mount /efs

E: Unable to mount /preload

E: Unable to mount /carrier

Of course it won't boot.. it stays stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.

I've tried various operations, megawipes and such and it would still give me that error on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 at the end.

Can anyone help me please?

Re: [ROM][RESTORE][1-13-13]Back to unrooted stock with auto flash count reset (FINAL

Maybe try this since your having carrier problems? Put this on your sd card. Go into your recovery and flash it. Then restore your back up and see if your phone boots. If it does then try to flash the zip in the thread again to unroot your phone. Also I would re download the unrooting zip file Billard posted. Maybe you had a bad download. It happens. Don't know if this will help but give it a shot.

Don't know what happened to you. I ran the file and it worked just fine. What Odin version are you trying to use?

Found this. Try it out. It won't hurt. Download and flash a stock kernel. Then down load a rooted stock rom and flash it 2 or 3 times. Won't hurt to try. If you get the error messages after flashing it twice, try to boot the phone up anyway after the 2 or 3 flashes.

Tried to flash a Stock Rooted Rom and it says Error Status 1

I can't find CMW TAR for Sprint. I did a google search and a search here but came up with nothing.. is it even out yet? One site even said that CMW is still being built for the Sprint Note 2 so use TWRP instead. I'll need it as a TAR to flash via Odin as that seems to be the only way to get stuff working it seems as far as recovery goes.

Re: [ROM][RESTORE][1-13-13]Back to unrooted stock with auto flash count reset (FINAL

I just ran this just now, the version as of a couple hours ago, and it worked fine for me.

I saw no opportunity to flash the root zip during the process so I lost root, but it took me from rooted ma5 with garwynn 0.2.2 kernel and twrp 2.4.1.0 right to ljc stock, no problems.

Then from there I was able to flash the full ota ma7 update.zip with no problems. Then odin twrp, and flash root and restore everything from titanium so now I'm all back but fully ma7 now.

Thanks much!

I've been doing a lot of googling to try and help you. From what I've read you soft bricked it, but a severe soft brick that requires a lot of work. I couldn't find a fix for you. Found a lot of forums talking about your problem and getting into ADB to run some commands. I wish you luck and sorry about your phone.

Noob needs step by step

Please help this noob with step by step instructions.

I kinda of understand some of the instructions in the OP but i'm a little confused.

Do i need to rename the downloaded zip to update.zip?

1, Do the reset from with in the menu for factory data reset under system setting backup and reset?

2. reboot

3. Do you reboot again and hold vol up/pwr/home? then select wipe?

4. Turn off phone and hold vol dwn/pwr/home for download mode? Will that use the zip file on sd card automatically or do i need to select a file?

5. Will it do the flash and everything else automatically from this point?

Any help to noobs would be greatly appreciated and maybe the OP can use the steps?

Thanks everyone

Re: [ROM][RESTORE][1-13-13]Back to unrooted stock with auto flash count reset (FINAL

What directions have you been reading? First I ran triangle away from the play store to clear out my flash numbers. Download billards file at the link in the op and no you don't have to change the name. Do your normal wipe of factory data, cache, and dalvik. Flash this as you would any other rom. It should go through its motions and when your phone reboots it's un rooted. One thing happened to me. I wiped the main three and did the format data which formats the internal storage. I flashed the file. It re booted directly back to a previous version of TWRP but didn't go through the 10 second step of TRWP running it's own page. So I wiped just factory reset/data, cache, and dalvik only, then flashed the file again and it did exactly as stated. So download billards file, leave it as is. Reboot into recovery, wipe only data, cache, dalvik. Flash his file and you'll be done when it reboots. Worked for me but just as the op states, your working on your own phone and I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device, I'm merely giving you advice that worked for me.

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Note II
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] billard412:
The reason it didn't do the ten second step for you is because somewhere between the first part completing and reboot your cache was wiped. And part two is the flash count reset. There's no need to run triangle away. This takes care of that for you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyan_osu:
I've tried about 3 different roms and it just boot loops or gets stuck on samsung.. been wiping left and right.. I'll try another round after dinner and flash a few different ones. have to recharge the battery first :)

OK thanks for the update i'll try as you stated " Reboot into recovery, wipe only data, cache, dalvik. Flash his file and you'll be done when it reboots." after i do a backup of my system.

I would love to do this to unroot my phone and go back to stock (I'm stock rooted) so that I can get the ma7 update. I've read this thread several times but unfortunately, it might as well be in French because I'm not understanding any of this. Is there a video for this?

Re: [ROM][RESTORE][1-13-13]Back to unrooted stock with auto flash count reset (FINAL

Same thing happened to me. I wiped data, cache, dalvik. Flashed billards file. I wiped cache and dalvik again before I rebooted and it kept going to the modified TWRP recovery also. I wiped data, cache, and dalvik again, flashed billards file. After it flashed I touched nothing and rebooted right away. That time it worked, went through its motions and booted up and I was no longer rooted. Now why can't you access your back ups and billards file? His file doesn't touch your external sd card. Did you download the files on your phone or on a computer?

My 4.2 camera apk is working but I don't see photosphere option in program. All I did was drag the apk to system folder and it works without photosphere. Is there a way to enable photosphere?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
The only time I have had photosphere "working" was by flashing the AROMA camera zip under a CM10.1 nightly (cant remember which one), so that's 4.2.1, and I was having FC's and the camera app would crash almost every time I used it even for regular pictures, causing me to have to reboot my phone to get rid of the "Cannot connect to camera" error.

I have a feeling it won't work any better on a 4.1.2 ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
Another option I'm going to look into is use a market app since that's only one feature I'm missing but I have the camera apk. THanks man!
