Yes, the other poster was warning you about the changes in files structure 4.1 / 4.2. Big changes due to multi-user account option found in 4.2

This thread, while for a different device, explains it well and offers tips how to do what you need to do.....

Anyone thinking about switching from the note 2 to the Htc One? I see it happening for me...back to htc for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flight01:
WTF!!!! :what:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
It looks like a great phone. I don't think I can down grade to a smaller screen. I have to say, the HTC one screen is really nice at 4.7in. 1080p.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
Nah looks like an iphone, and HTC has got a lot of catching up to do in order to dethrone Samsung. Besides I couldn't ever go back to a smaller screen now that the note 2 has spoiled me :P

The only people I can see picking this phone up are loyal HTC supporters and iPhone users who are sick of apple and finding android more and more the way to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] samevo:
Been there had that and not going back! Note 2 is top phone to me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shadowhawk2020:
Had 6 HTC phones in a row before the Note 2. (Touch Pro, Touch Pro2, Hero, Evo, Evo 3D, Evo 4G LTE). With each new should be game changing Android phone I had to deal with some issue that a flagship phone shouldn't have. Hero was slow as hell, Evolved had a FPS cap and horrible battery, Evo 3D had horrible battery and slowly updated, Evo 4G LTE had average non removable battery, slow updates and ****ed multi tasking.

The One has a few strikes from me even before it comes out. Small non removable battery, and starting on 4.1.2. With the battery life and upgrade track record on HTC phones I just cannot get onboard. Samsung is going to have to mess up big time and HTC is really going to have to step it up if I will ever switch back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Absolutely no effin way! After owning the 3D, which was an absolute pos, then going to the epic touch, I swore I would never look back! Not only that but those things are real ***** too unlock and root. And with this new one who the hell knows when or if that will even happen. Good luck with that. Had this thing rooted just an hour after I got it with the greatest of ease. I'm sorry HTC but you've had your chance with lots of loyal customers and completely blew it. Not to mention also their update process absolutely blows too. Ok I'm done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
ill pick one up off contract i'm sure...Early reports show the camera isn't all that great..But no one has really had time to review it yet so we shall see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexiking713:
Note 3 for me. I love htc phones but the locked bootloader and lack of updates made me switch to Samsung.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donatom3:
Htc does so many things wrong. First off when you mount the phone to your computer you can only see the external storage, and to see the external storage the phone looses access to it. Second htc splits the internal storage up. One tiny partition to install your apps on and another partition for your pics and data. I don't want to have to keep going through my installed apps and manage which internal partition they are installed on. Boot time on htc vs Samsung is almost 3 times as long and I came from an EVo lte.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiguelHogue:
I'm not switching from the note 2 until they release a note 4-5

Almost went for the Evo first time around but decided to get the Epic 4g instead, best choice I ever made. Glad there is competition but the one thing that will always bug me is that sense is so ugly. I'd have to run aosp always. I halfway like tw now. No way if ever do this for an HTC

I always felt that htc had quality feeling phones having owned both touch pro2 and htc evo (though I had to have tep for both those phones and my epic touch still has not a scratch on it). Though I will never down size a phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rruss:
def not htc has Some Ok phones i just came from the evolte but it seems like they Always low ball you in some way with their phones and I noticed it too htc seems like they becoming iphone wannabees no removable battery no sdcards and damn near locked down software and slow updates and honestly im not all that impressed with the specs htc always late to the party and gets one upped by someone last year the evo lte got one upped by the galaxy s3 and this year the htc one will probably be one upped by the s4 as well

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
Only HTC phones I ever used were the OG T-Mobile g1 (still my favorite qwerty HTC phone) and mytouch4g. Both of those phones were topnotch back in their days, I'll even say the mytouch4g was better then the first line of galaxy phones. However.. all that changed when the Samsung galaxy s2 line showed up and swept the world off their feet!

IMO HTC has been dethroned indefinetly by Samsung, as they are always bringing better and faster phones and updates than HTC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shook187:
Already sold my Note 2 and now waiting for the ONE. But i'll probably be getting the GS4 and Note 3. That's just how I row, never satisfied always looking for something better.

In the mean while look below and see what POS I'm using while I'll wait for the HTC ONE.

Damn that's gotta hurt!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesseMT4G:
I wasn't a huge fan of my Amaze, but loved my mytouch4G. Awesome build quality and all around solid, still running like a champ as my one stepdaughter has it.

Gave the wife the Amaze and since then has had all kinds of issues.

I love my s3, but really think the new HTC One will be my next phone. Plenty of storage for me and can always add a usb micro adapter if need be. Battery sucks, but if something happens to it, they better replace it.

Phone is a beast besides that.

I honestly cannot think of a single conceivable reason for leaving the Note 2 for the HTC One. Unless of course it has multi-app and stylus support I'm not aware of?

So are you like a canoe gangsta?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
No HTC for me for a while. They burned me good with that piece of junk EVO LTE wifi device...its just not a phone with such poor RF performance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sparytrainor:
I can tell u one thing, I sat in front of my computer for 10 minutes looking around at everything thinking I missed something when I rooted my note 2 in like 2 minutes.. It took me at least half an hr to root, and soff my elte and I had to brick the thing to do so.. After 3 years with an HTC, I'm sticking with Samsung!!! I have to say tho, the elte isn't a bad phone for the average user in my experience..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skoobz:
that is (htc) One sexy *****. curse you samsung and your wacom enabled stylus!

i would, i would mosdef go back to htc but the note 2's stylus is my crack. so i guess it's the note lines from here on out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
IMO It would be a downgrade to leave the note 2 for the HTC One they both we quad Core 2 GIG Ram the only thing is the screen and the Note has a beautiful display So its not enough for me to turn MY head
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Imo the HTC one will have a better display obviously. But yeah mostly a downgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Yeah but the size?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dannyada1988:
Although HTC has the so-called awesome UltraPixel camera and the competitive specs, but there are no other good reasons to change from note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Because of its size and resolution, Imo it will have a better display. I understand what you are saying, it's smaller than the note 2.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayare313:
I think I'll hold out and get the Note 3. Looks like a nice phone (htc1) but I've gotten used to my "huge" phone. The eyes cant decipher 720p from 1080p on screens smaller than 42" so thats a gimmick to make your phone feel inferior.

Good news for note 2 owners that do plan to switch to thie financially it wont be an issue. I was lookin on ebay and it seems a used note 2 is still selling in the $575+ area plus more if you have nice accessories and if its new its damn near selling for the $649.99 it is in stores. The htc one will probally be $549.99 + tax so even without an upgrade looks like you wouldnt have to pay much at all if anything for the htc one

I'll pass. Came from the OG Evo and haven't seen an appealing HTC phone since. Plus other than the unibody, seems like a downgrade to me.

After my wife owned an OG Evo and all the problems she had, she finally followed my lead and bought a Sammy GS3 (I've only owned Samsung smart phones: Epic 4G, Nexus S 4G, International Note 1, and Sprint Note 2). She says she'll never go back to HTC. Always had to fix her phone for end and in the end, that "amazing build quality" HTC ended up with a broken charging port and was splitting in the middle. At least she got $22 trade-in value from Sprint when she upgraded to the S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jasondarr:
I'm not going for the htc one but if HTC makes a phablet, I'd go for it. If it weren't for the screen size I'd definitely prefer my HTC Evo LTE over the note 2. Less lag, takes better pictures, physical camera button, I prefer sense to touchwiz. But that's just imho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] musclehead84:
Evo lte has less lag than the note 2? Something must be wrong with your note 2 cause I dont have any lag on my note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexiking713:
I agree with you and i like sense over touch wiz. The note 2 is pretty much lag free compared to the evo lte.

I agree.. HtC makes to hard to unlock and they always double locking the bootloader.. I was a big fan with the first EVO then i got the 3d and was so pissed.. The Galaxy Note 2 is the first phone that makes me not look at any other phone right now, i may not upgrade until the Galaxy Note 3..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] musclehead84:
Totally agree. I love my note 2 so much im not even gonna look at the gs4. I want the note 3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] misterzeno:
Currently this phone has made all announcements boring. Besides other screens are too small.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mboogy:
You know, it actually looks like like a bad a$s phone. The build looks super premium -which is something the GN2 lacks- the hardware is top notch, and the screen seems gorgeous. But it would be hard to transition to a phone under 5 inches and not have an SD card option - two things that are deal-breakers for me. I'm really looking forward to GS4 and hope it's at least 5 inches. But if Samsung keeps the screen size the same on the GN3 and ups the build quality and hardware, I'm definitely getting the GN3. I really hope they don't increase the screen size on GN3 because 5.5 is perfect for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gatordon:
NEVER..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shadowhawk2020:
I haven't had any lag on my Note2. My 4G LTE on the other hand was notorious for being stuck loading when I hit the home button. Or failing to properly multitask.

I liked Sense better than touchwiz. But when it eats up so much memory the phone doesn't function properly it has outlived its usefulness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyan_osu:
I must live in the only circle of friends who enjoy their Evo 3D because I liked the phone and my friends who had it did as well. I still have mine to play with.

That said, no way. Note 2 will last me a long time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
I likes the phone too. Just that it didn't have much aosp development and official updates took forever to get. HTC took their time with that phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
It was "ok" but when I got my epic touch in place of it I really couldn't belive the difference in how much better it was and the development for it was incredible. I still follow those threads because those were some really good people and it's nice to see some of them here too. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Alot of us came over here or to the s3. There were a few traitors that went to htc and lg. I call them traitors cuz now they bash samsung, even tho they haven't seen decent support since the release of the device's they're on. The damn et4g is still being updated, notes had 2 otas since release and the s3 has had 3. The lgog hasn't had one yet and is still officially on ics and the evolts only gets updated to relock the bootloader

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyan_osu:
My wife had the epic and the epic 4g touch. She hated both and we had horrible issues with both of them. My friends had bad luck with their epics as well. For a while we stayed away from samsung phones

She has the s3 now and she enjoys it. I really like my note 2 . Not liking htcs policy to build phones with non removable batteries

I won't be leaving my Note2 for the hTC One, but will for the GS4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweets55:
I just want something different after having SG2,3 and Note 2. That's why I thought about getting the HTC one. I'll probably get the S4 even though I know I should just wait for the Note 3 mainly because of the development.

The real deal-breaker for me in the EVO LTE being my last HTC phone for a minute is the multitasking feature being put in Samsung and even LG phones. Saves so much time.

Will have me GN2 in a few days
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Quis89:
I would assume they have resolved that. It isn't an issue that was apparent on all of their devices. Just the recent One series. I never had an issue on my original evo or my 3d.

For a simple, flawless, rooting method. If you're looking for that that is. Nothing like htc at all!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donatom3:
I'm more referring to how they split their internal storage. Of the 10gb free after the Os you get 8gb as an internal card and 2gb for apps, where Samsung makes the whole 10gb one big partition to install apps and use as an internal card.

Hello everyone I am back again with a galaxy this time :p

I used this guide to root my phone http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1

the root worked perfectly, but I did wrong is that I didn't have any of my applications that I had before root, so I thought that it is a good idea to go back into CWM and restore it from there, after I did that the phone rebooted and got stuck in the Galaxy screen, I am unable to access recovery, CWM or download mode the phone doesn't even boot it justs sits at the galaxy screen.

btw I have this kernel Bhundven's Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix (thanks to AntonX )

this is the rom that I flashed -Valhalla - BlackEdition(thanks to RaverX3X)

my computer does recognise my phone when I do the three finger salute while plugged in usb.

please I need help this is my only phone :eek:​
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
If you can still get into recovery then try wiping the caches and fix permissions. That may fix it, if not maybe wipe data. Otherwise if you can still use recovery then you should try wiping everything and re-installing the rom, or restore nandroid backup and use titanium to backup your apps.

If you can't get to recovery then you should be able to one-click back to stock from download mode and start over.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Preluder:
I cant get to no where but the boot screen, holding the three buttons together at the same time it only makes the screen dissapear then reappear kinda like bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
So, I have been in this very situation with that same very setup. I flashed a Nandroid backup and bam, stuck at the screen. Spent hours trying to fix it. Best part was, I was on a business trip, and all the info I needed was in my phone :(

So, the trick here as I recall is to get the phone in Download Mode, once there, you can then use Heimdall One-Click http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498 (which is what I used that time) or you can flash One-Click Gremlin Remover, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500427 which uses Odin to Flash back to Stock.

To the best of my recollection, here is how I recall getting into D/L mode after hours of trying. About 5am, got it to work. Thanks to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112076

Steps are:

1. Have Heimdall or One-Click opened and ready

2. Remove your battery

3. I would hold the power button for like 10 secs to discharge the circuits (not sure this is needed, just like a clean slate)

4. Hold the Volume rocker down (no battery in the phone yet) *Note you DO NOT press or hold the POWER button for this procedure.

5. Plug computer connected USB into your phone (still holding down the volume rocker)

6. Insert Battery into phone (still holding down the volume rocker) Your phone should automatically turn on at this point in to Download Mode.

The order of the above is critical in that you do not install your battery until after the USB is connected, while you hold the volume rocker down. This should take you into Download mode where you can reflash.

You might also run into an issue where your computer does not recognize the drivers for your phone initially (because they are not being sent to it by the phone). If you are getting into Download Mode and you see that Heimdall or One Click is not detecting the device, reinstall the drivers from the Samsung site for the SGS4G and then try.

Hope this helps! Been in the exact same jam, you can get this fixed. Soft bricks are always better than hard bricks.
