I used Darkside super wipe and it worked for me...

ive done it like this.

flashed original stock rom via odin

Root via S2 toolkit

flash cmw with toolkit as above

and flash custom rom via s2 toolkit

and after that used darkside superwipe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dargydoof:
thanks for the tip, I tried the darkside wipe but it still is happening.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilsaiful:
I have the same exact thing. But for me it's different. It started with the PACman 22.0.1. Whenever I press the power button to turn on/off the screen, it would restart a couple of seconds later being stuck in an infinite reboot loop. Can't get into recovery mode (used TWRP 2.3.3.1 and 2.5). I somehow managed to revert back to stock which worked properly. Rooted and installed PACman 22.1.1 ROM and it's still stuck on a reboot loop.

I don't know if it's a hardware problem (wiring off power button to the circuit is damaged) or a software code that messed up the machine code in the circuit.

try doing a factory reset, wipe cache and install rom. don't wipe cache or anything after that until after it boots. btw don't use cwm wipe cache, try the one that is stickied in development forum.

I was having some trouble after removing the internal SD using the method explained at Bruno's ROM FAQ found at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30786931#post30786931

The problem I found is similar to that described by other users at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40634583

I wanted to post there but I'm a newbie here, so I'm not allowed :(

I'll describe how I got to this point, I flashed latest BM JB version, then I repartitioned to remove the internal SD and recovered /data from nandroid backup like the FAQ says.

At that point everything looked fine except that the SD was not mounted. Looked at /etc/vold.fstab and it was like this:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

Looks like as the first one was failing, the second one was not being mounted.

What I did was several tests but I ended up commenting the first of those lines and everything looks fine except for the legacy /sdcard link which still points to /storage/sdcard0 which is not mounted. Other than that first tests show everything fine, photos are found on the external card, storage shows it as a external card and allows it to be umounted for extraction, ...

Hope this helps the guys in trouble even tough to achieve that it would be good to have this posted on the original thread.

If more info is needed to help debug this please ask.

Thanks to Bruno for these great ROMs :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bestiatester:
The problem with my solution

The problem I find with my solution is that there are a lot of apps that don't find the sdcard.

If /sdcard is not ok these apps tell you they don't find the sd or that the sd is full or whatever.

The result is that a lot of apps malfunction :(

I've read new posts on Bruno's development thread and there is no new reply on this.

Please, help!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bestiatester:
Still no solution for this

As my old solution ended up giving a lot of problems with programs needing the legacy /sdcard link and I still don't have a real solution for this problem I ended up having only this line on the vold.fstab file:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

This makes the device identify the external sd as an internal one, but at least the /sdcard points to it and thus programs seem to work ok.

This had been my first solution but then I thought that having it as external one would be better but it resulted that it wasn't :(

I really hope somebody knowledgeable on this gives me a hand.

Regards.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bestiatester:
Problems never end

I still hadn't found a clean solution for this and now, after powering on the phone to change battery, when we where booting it up with an almost empty battery that was to be recharged we got an error similar to the one shown here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2068332

saying Encryption unsuccessfull and after rebooting with more battery and a cable plugged the problem seemed to remain (the problem, not the error). I mean that after reboot the partition where apps data is stored seemed to be lost, or at least the apps didn't get to their data and they were all unlogged and no signs of their setups, ...

:(
[ZTE Grand X V970] bestiatester:
slight esnnype

Well, in the end it was not so bad.

I decided after this last problem that I could install version 1.2 which is more recent than the one I had installed, so I went to CWM and I formatted cache and data partitions and then installed version 1.2 which indeed recognized (or so it said) that I had the partitions extended and thus no internal SD and it solved things on vold, so no the external flash is seen as the only flash on the system and everything works ok out of the box.

End of the story? We'll see.

I'm on 4.1.1 and used one click root & unlock on this forum.

This morning I woke up to an OTA but declined and asked to post pone till 5/13.

What do I do ? I can't afford a bricked phone, nor do I care to grab an update.

I have a feeling on the post pone date it will automatically update.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Konig-Wolf:
I'd also like to know about this. I used CASUAL to root my phone, and while I appreciate the features in the 4.1.2 update, I really don't want to lose root. Any insight into this matter would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] heric1:
Perhaps this is what you are looking for if your just worried about keeping root:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en

Updating won't 'brick' your phone (not sure if that is even possible with this phone without doing something incredibly drastic). Worst case you can always Odin back to stock - just back everything up first. Excellent guide here on how to do that:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

But since you are unlocked I would look into flashing a custom ROM to get the full advantage of it (Jelly Beans or CleanRom are excellent). Tutorial on that is also in the link above.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] markustlaumann:
“System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”

I clicked yes on the update and now I get this message on boot and I can't get to the recovery menu:

“System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.”

Things I did to my phone prior to this:

- rooted with Framapak

- CWM installed

- Encrypted the internal storage

I'll be praying to Odin tonight... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wool02:
Use Root Explorer or equivalent and delete the SDM.apk in system/apps. This is the apk that checks for updates.

Oh and if you want to keep root it is never a good idea to accept an OTA update.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] heric1:
Odin can be picky after using casual also (try the rooted odin file if stock fails as well, thats what i had to do). You may need to remove the casual drivers as well for odin to recognize the phone, below is a link on that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzghcV8HVVk

Also the new release of casual for the 4.1.2 update is set to be released tonight, does anyone know if he could just re-run and to get root and a custom recovery back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] markustlaumann:
Hopefully not needed.

Thankfully I was able to get it to boot into recovery mode eventually. Odin and Kies worked correctly to recognize the phone in download mode and I tried the root66 image with no luck. I'm downloading the VRALJB now to see if that works.

Update: I got my phone back to stock using the guide heric1 posted and the "alternate restore" image here. No bricks in my house. :)

Take a look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261478 created by developer beanstown106. Here you will find the latest update modified and placed into a flashable zip file through your custom recovery. If you flash one of those two files that he has, you can have the latest update, keep your root and unlocked bootloader, and be on a stock ROM.

There are two versions of the stock 4.1.2 ROM. The odex version doesn't allow for custom themes to be flash over the stock ROM, while the deodex version does allow for custom themes to be flashed over the stock ROM.

If you don't want 4.1.2 altogether, you can use Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro to freeze the SDM 1.0 file. A slightly more challenging method would be to use Root Explorer or something similar to it to go in and modify the name of the file.

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

For me I use the odex because I have no intention on using themes. My custom ROM and theming days have long passed. All I need is the ability create backups of my stock ROM and the ability to take advantage or root required applications such as Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
Just got on T-Mobile's LTE in Houston. I'm running stock AT&T Rom & Radio. I can get LTE in different spots. When I'm at work, I can only get Edge. I then flash to a modified modem GT-N7005amss thingy that's floating around here and I get HSPA + (21.6 Mb/S) when i'm at work, but when I leave it never picks up LTE again. Is there a modem that I'm just not seeing that will enable to me to get both so that I don't have to keep switching modems? Can one be created?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
unfortunately no. The ATT modems are the only ones that will pick up LTE on tmobile.

The tmobile radios are from other devices which do not support lte. They also operate on the 1700mhz band where the att modems will get 4g under the 1900mhz refarmed band with tmobile.

I know I use tmobile on the latest att ucmd3 jb modem and pull about 8-10mbps down. The key for me choosing was the incredible upload speed which was 2-3mbps.

You can flash the radios back and forth before and after. Takes 2 min. Only other option. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
I think I understand it now. Not completely sure. There's no way possible I can take out what picks up 1700mhz and add it in one of the ATT modems right? I'll just keep flashing like you said. Easiest way to go lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
not that I found. If your on a touchwiz based rom then the *#2263# into dialer cannot select 1700mhz band under wcdma option using an att modem. On the t mobile modems you can.

If your on a cyanogenmod rom or other then *#*#4636#*#* can only select from gsm/wcdma or preferred. Or under settings/mobile network/preference. The lte option will only show for att modems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The modem.bin or mdm.bin that you flash is a binary file and cannot be edited unless you are at samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nutpants:
it might not work but then again it might...

try a Canadian rom and modem...

it has a easier menu to switch from wcdma- lte -gsm

(settings-more settings-mobile networks-network mode)

and many providers here do there best to make sure snow birds have access to all the US networks

so they can financially rape you.

or i could be wrong and it will be worse...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeppuda:
I did a nandroid backup and transferred the files to my computer before flashing a new ROM. I looked at the backup today and saw that it is only 23.3 MB. Could that be right? I was reading online that it should be 2-3 gigs or more. I used CWM 6.

Here is a screenshot of what I have

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1j1o2x7zf5aixkr/screenshot.PNG

I was pretty certain that I transferred the backup and blobs folder but maybe I was mistaken. I looked in my phone but could not

find the blobs folder. If I flashed a new Rom, will it be gone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yeah your backup should be about 1 gb (at least)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeppuda:
so since i flashed a new rom, did i lose the backup? if not how can i find it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I would say to reflash your recovery first. But yes, you lost your backup since it was made by a corrupted recovery or git corrupted....just reflash and make a backup after rebooting recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] D™:
buddy I think somehow you haven't taken backup of your Blob folder. Check if it still in your Mobile..??

Or take new backup using .tar format.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thomas.raines:
Hello guys and gals. A good friend of mine ktempleton has asked, and practically begged, me to come and dev for you guys.

Who the hell am I:

First off, I've been developing and assisting development on a few different devices, Skyrocket, Blaze, SGS4G, Captivate, LG Nitro, many HTC devices, and much more. I am best known for my Lightning Zap! tweaks, which later became a kernel. I have now been a ROM and kernel dev for almost 2 years, and have built up quite a large amount of knowledge with Android development. Much of my work can be reference through the links in my signature.

What I have to offer and what I have planned:

I will bring you one of the fastest, battery saving kernels ever known to Android. Which phase 1 is currently being tested as we speak. Not only to I plan to bring you an awesome kernel, but I also will make a Gremlin Remover for this device, a ROM or 2 (with the help of Team T-n-T), and more.

When I develop something, I tried to read every post in that thread. I also try to fix any and every issue someone has, whether it be an issue 1 person is having and an issue everyone is having. However, I cannot fix anything I cannot duplicate. So, please provide me with logs and or a detailed description anytime you encounter a problem with any of my work.

What is Lightning Zap!:

Lightning Zap! started a a tweaks package of init.d scripts that I compiled from a few different devices. My Lightning Zap! vision was to increase battery life per charge while still maintaining maximum performance. In my earlier dev days, I begin to learn a lot on how this stuff works. Once I was comfortable and knowledgeable, I decided to incorporate the Lightning Zap! Tweaks into a kernel and ditch the scripts with the theory that if it was already written into the kernel, then it would work better since it was now native instead of an add-on. After my first compilation, a huge difference was noticed. Boot time was significantly faster, scrolling and transition speed was so fast it nearly seemed choppy, average battery life per charge was significantly improved as well as overall performance. My goal for the SGS4G was achieved. Maximum performance and exceptional battery life. As I started branching out to other devices, I found that my tweaks to the Linux kernel was in general universal. Which means, if it's a Linux kernel, to include your pc, you can Lightning Zap! the crap out of it!

In summary, I would like to say that I am excited to begin working on the Epic 4G Touch, and can't wait to bring you the Lightning Zap! Kernel and much more...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Use the included VVM like everyone else does. Or uninstall the VVM and use the dial in VM, it works just fine. Even with VVM when I don't have a data connection the VM notification shows a pending VM on the network.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cephaus:
Welcome aboard good Sir. Thank you for blessing us with your time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizardknight:
1st. Not everyone uses VVM.

2nd. Not everyone can use VVM. This is determined by your provider. This is not just a choice you can make.

3rd. You would not have said use VVM if you had read my statement about needing voice mail network flag notification service support, or knew the difference between how VVM and legacy voicemail worked. It might be a good idea to read a thread like this if you would like to be educated before you just tell people to use VVM when they say they need legacy voice mail support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Well then be happy with the fact that nobody will make a new GB kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
I'd like to say welcome man you will probably deserve every bit of it and me personally I would love it dearly if it was at all possibly for a kernel that would allow us few uscc galaxy s2 users to oc past 1.2 GHz cause I've been trying to get something for us forever now lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
That's phase four of the kernel don't worry it's coming lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
We are definitely not going back to the past JB is the future so let's keep moving forward. Welcome aboard homey...

Yes but everybody can use Google Voice;) in my opinion stock voicemail blows goats
