[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Quantenkosmos:
5 steps

Hello,

I had the same problem with another device. What me helped was:

1. Using a USB-Jig - then Downloadmode went on on its own

2. Flasing CWM- Recovery (with Odin)

3. AFTER THAT put out Battery for some seconds (10s)

4. CWM- was accessible :o

5. deleting cache and dalvik, (and did a factory reset but think that wasn't the point),

and bootloop wad gone.

Hope that helped,

Quantenkosmos.

I have N8000 and using redemption ROM which is 4.1.2 and is rooted,i want to sale my tablet but cant seem to get rid of many folders in the internal SD-Card,i am not using any other memory card... Previously on ICS i used commands like *2767*3855# and this used to delete everything,but now this command is not working,i tried factory reset from settings,i tried going into recovery and wiping data and cache,but that didnt work either,wat shud i do now? Please help.... folders like whatsapp,viber etc are still being shown,i wanna get rid of all this.... Thank You
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksabre_x:
I don't know which recovery you're using, but you'll need to pick the wipe internal storage option. As you've found out the factory reset doesn't touch your internal storage partiton. (even though one might expect it to)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz00ka:
I am using CWM recovery 6.something,and therez only one option to wipe data and system,i chose that and still didnt work?

Nevermind got it! I had to go to Mount and whatever setting in the recovery and manually choose the "Format Sdcard" option to completely erase all the folders etc :), Thanks!

Can someone help me with this topic:

I rooted my galaxy tab2 GT-P3100 n flashed few roms like CM10,AOSP but then I had to flash the stock romantic back because most of the apps started crashing(message: sorry the__app___ is closed unfortunately) but after flashing stock1 things were same, nowhere to go unfortunately I had to sell that1....... Now i purchased GN2 I can't stay unrooted but I am worrying if same happens this time too..... Can someone answer me why this thing happens(unfortunate app crashes) ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Epix4G:
Most of the time it is because the os is not supported on that app ... Like when ICS first came out you have some apps that won't work on it .... There is usually nothing that can't be fixed you didn't have to sell it just find out what wasnt right and fix it ..

I have never rooted any of my device wven not my gn 2 cuz it makes S pen and some of my fav apps useless
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Crowordove:
I haven't experienced a single unwarranted app crash. The few times I did have a crash it was do to user error or restoring app data. Did you make sure that you wiped everything between roms? Any left over data can cause all sorts of issues down the line.

Rooting the Note 2 doesn't take away any functionality, if anything it adds extra functionality that wasn't there by default.

For example: Do you happen to use the multi-window capability that the device has? If you do, wouldn't it be even better if you could use any app you wanted and not just the predetermined choices? Most custom roms offer that to root users.

What apps are useless with root? How is the Spen useless?

The only time that my Spen has ever been useless is when I'm not using it. Even aosp roms that don't natively support it have apps that will bring most of, if not all of, it's practical applications back. And aosp is only an option and not a requirement to being rooted.

I apologize if this seems overly harsh or blunt but for someone who blatantly states "I have never rooted any of my device [e]ven my gn 2" I would refrain from giving out false information, and if you truly wish to help out someone with a question pertaining to things that you don't understand (as of yet) that you would research it to give your response a more meaningful bit of advice.

You have an international note 2 and you're posting nonsense in the sprint note 2 forums, why:confused:

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GuestK00464:
Is there any forum for international 1....it's just a GN2......did sprint version has got diamonds carved over its body:what:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
They run on different network types, they have different software and some different hardware and entirely different model numbers. You want the gt-n7100/n7105 forums this is the sph-l900. If you use anything from this forum you run a real good risk of bricking your phone. Your total lack of knowledge between the device differences is one reason you definitely shouldn't be rooting your phone and most likely the reason you broke the last device you tried to root.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GuestK00464:
I never root by reading on xda I just Google for the roms or pda files for my model........ By the way what different hardware u got in ur model. My GN2 costed me rs. 40000=approx 930 USD(after conversion)..........Plz mention the hardware difference.... It's damn so disappointing If u got tegra enabled GN2 much cheaper than me......N 1 more thing I rooted my device:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
We have CDMA radios, LTE radios, no wireless charging, partitions are formatted differently for the different partitions required by the network differences and other country specific differences. The differences aren't huge but their enough to make them 2 entirely different devices that can't share software/firmware without modification if it can share them at all, some things arent interchangeable no matter how much you modify them, like modems.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GuestK00464:
If I have to visit US for soooo and soooo reason is it possible that I can flash that firmware or rom supported by US connections? Is this possible?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You could unlock your device if its not already (not sure if international devices are tied to a specific carrier) and use any of our GSM networks like at&t or t-mobile or the numerous prepaid variants of the 2. That's the one nice thing about unlocked GSM devices all you have to do to change networks is switch out the SIM card.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GuestK00464:
We have lotzzz of carriers here and I have 5 sim cards. Sometimes, I use 2 cards simultaneously with a dual slot chip set does this means my model is unlocked?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Most likely, im not even sure foreign carriers lock their devices like they do here in the US. If you bought your phone full price then its more than likely unlocked, the more I think about it I'm almost positive most foreign carriers don't provide locked phones outside of a few UK and French carriers that sell carrier branded hardware.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SKYP0IS0N:
I suggest you unroot your device. You seem you didnt get any advantage from rooting other than wasting your own time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donatom3:
OP,

You have an international version so you're already unlocked. Is there any app that you need super user access for? Do you care to modify your phone, or are you happy with it the way it is? If you like the phone the way it is, leave it unrooted. You'll get software updates faster, won't void your warranty, and won't mess with something you may have no need for.

Thank you all!!

tested it on I9105p, unfortunately it did not root! I'm still stuck in Android system recovery, while Odin says succesfull.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] flor1n:
You must be missing something or doing something wrong.

What version of ODIN do you have ? I have used v3.07

Have you enabled the "USB debugging" in android's Developer options ?

Give us more details on the exact procedure/steps that you are doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Haiph0:
Not sure if I did something wrong, also I had Odin v3.04 I downloaded/used Odin v3.07 afterwards, but that still did not work.

These are the steps I did.

1. I downloaded the ABD drivers

2. Downloaded the recovery from this thread

3. Turned off my device

4. Went to odin mode

5. Connected my usb cable to my mobile

6. The mobile got detected through Odin3

7. I selected CWM through PDA

8. Clicked start

9. Waited till it went succesfull

10. Turned my phone yet again off

11. Tried to go to CWM, but instead I went to Android system recovery

Also dev. options were enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] flor1n:
OK, here are some other things that may help with troubleshooting:

- I have the i9105P model (with NFC)

- The drivers installed from KIES tough this should not make any difference.

- The firmware version installed on my phone using ODIN is I9105XXAMB2 downloaded from here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9105P

For the non-NFC version I cannot see a similar firmware version but I see that there is an I9105DDAMB2 version built on 12 Feb

Maybe chotu222 is can tell if the firmware revision on the phone should make any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Haiph0:
OHHHH, I'm using I9105PXXAMA2, perhaps it's because of the firmware. Perhaps Chotu might be able to fix this. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] codekidX:
Yes it is because of the firmware. .it differs from region to region !

If you can give your recovery image I might port it to you too !!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Haiph0:
Sorry for asking, but how do I give my recovery image to you? I have no idea on how that works.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] markthepig:
I can confirm it works great, thank you very much for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] codekidX:
download your firmware from google any site

extract it with winrar or anything ! you will see recovery.img in it ...i want that recovery image
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Haiph0:
Done, I have sent you a private message.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] myf:
ok, solved

used another SD-Card, seems to be a size Problem. 16GB SD - Not ok, 8 GB - OK
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] codekidX:
backup your data format sdcard once then it will be ok

Hi. How is going your rooting? if it doesn´t work, why you don´t change the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] a5971267:
i have I9105PZCALL6, China version, this root works well.

But when you flash CWM with ODIN, the "CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD" Count in develop mode will increase.

Is there any way to clear "CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD" count？
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Haiph0:
Change rom? What do you mean?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Aquadig:
installing I9105XXAMB2.. if having root is so important and your rom doesn´t match with this kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] codekidX:
Here you go ---> Click

Extract this and flash the tar.md5 file via odin !!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Haiph0:
Doesn't change rom wipe out all your application etc? If so than it isn't possible for me, also I can't find any rom with an English region.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Aquadig:
where are you from?

all the roms have the english language, doesn´t metter the region.

the region is important only for the radio signal.. all you have to do is to install a rom from a country of your continent...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Haiph0:
:s it still did not work, I still went to android system recovery, I do appreciate your effort, but this is just really unfortunate that it doesn't work, I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Also, I sent you a Dutch recovery.img, but you said it was Indian?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Kustowski02:
Hey guys, at first i wanne thank for the good work (video and instruction), but unfortunately i´ve got the same problem as mentioned before in this forum.

What works:

- samsung drivers installed perfectly on PC (OS: Win 7 Home Premium 64bit)

- odin recognises my i9105 in download mode

- installation of the cwm-md5 in odin 3.07 works till the status "pass"

what not works:

- with "vol-down + home-button + power buttonf" i always get to the "android system recovery" instead of the "cwm recovery"

I repeated all steps if the videos an the instruction over and over again but for me there is no way to get to cwm.

The facts of my SII Plus:

- Modell: GT-I9105P

- Android: 4.1.2

- Kernel: 3.031.820922 dpi@DELL216 #1

- Buildnumber: JZO54K.I905PXXAMA2

Does somebody has a solution for this case?

grat thanks before

Ok, please forget about my post. I´m going to get an other StockRom from my region and will try to root it again =)

Thanks + Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Vainamoinen:
Hello,

I just did the same trick and your problem seems to be that the button combination is not "vol-down + home-button + power button", but if you try "vol-up + home-button + power button" it should work like a charm! ;) I did it like you did at the first time but then I noticed the difference!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Kustowski02:
You´re right, i wrote the wrong key-combination, but i meant the right one :D. Tried both of them a lot of times. But thanks for your help :good:

I solved my problem yesterday in the following way:

1. changed StockRom with Odin to I9105PXXAMA2 (DBT) ->took it from "samsung-updates" online site

2. done all steps of the instruction again (drivers, CWM, Super SU)

3. was happy about the success and cleaned up my rooted device immediately :laugh:

So i am pretty sure the it was all because of my previous StockRom.

This is a question for chotu222

I found that there is a new firmware version from samsung I9105PXXAMB5 released on 17.02.2013. (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9105P)

1. I believe if I flash this with ODIN I will loose the custom CWM recovery. Is that right ?

2. If yes then can I use the same old recovery you created for this new firmware version ?

3. If not, are you able to create a custom recovery image from the stock recovery.img included in this new firmware ? (I can provide it to you)

4. Could it be possible to get a tutorial for creating our custom recovery images from stock ones so that we do not bother you each time a new firmware is released ?

Sorry to bump in, I think chotu222 used the cwm online builder.

If you unpack the recovery image he posted, you'll find in the ramdisk the file default.prop with build information:
