[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
I am so sorry that I am having problems again, I can't believe it has done this to me again myself. I have tried to rerun casual with no luck, I get stuck downloading the drivers in a loop. I can NOT get into recovery again or boot normally. I can only get into odin download mode. I have even tried to do the same I did last time with the nand erase and the stock image but it either fails almost right away or it keeps saying setup connection but has my comm# showing my phone is recognized. And as a matter of fact before when I was looping that last time I could flash almost any of those(root66, pit, alter) and they would pass. They would reboot the phone right back to the boot loop but they would pass. NOW i can't get anyone of them to pass at all...not even just the pit? Again I seriously appreciate absolutely every reply and ANY kind of help or advise. I am sorry this is me again trying to get help and if your tired of trying to help me I understand. I just want to get my phone back to usable and I will be doing no flashing or anything lol...thanks in advance guys, I am off today so I will be trying and researching and trying again. Any help is greatly appreciated guys. oh and yes I have checked the drivers and stuff and that seems to be good.

update: GOOD news, I ran causal about 6 times and the last time it rebooted me somehow and got me out of the bootloop but casual was unsuccessful!!! Very awesome awesome news(getting out of the bootloop) so thank you. But here is my huge question, they are trying to push that OTA update onto my phone, I put defer, but it makes you put a day and time that in no more then 3 or 4 days away. I am not sure what I should do to avoid having this update and possibly screwing my phone again? Casual has been unsuccessful so far for me. Am I doing something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
It is just I don't want to get things screwed up, AGAIN, and I need to figure out what to do before that update hits and I am a little confused I guess as to where my phone is right now. I am rooted and I checked that, but have stock recovery and stock rom. So is there anyway of going from that to just rooted and custom recovery while being able to flash custom ROMs??? might be stupid ass ?s but I am so confused now so sorry guys

Edit: THANK YOU ALL A MILLION. I'm fully rooted and custom recovery. .. Hopefully I'll never be posting again lol. ..guys really you are very appreciated by me and you were the key to my success!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
You have flashed so many things, without looking at the phone info, I am afraid to advise. I havent read the casual info in a while, but I got time, let me see what I can dig up.

What firmware are you on now? Can you access stock recovery?

"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Thank you Jeramy, even if what you advise messes up somehow I know it wouldnt be on you man, I just want to make sure I am doing the right casual or if I should go a different route even. And what do you mean so many things without looking at the phone info bro? it was just the very first thing that put me in this mess while I was rooted and on that rom, right? everything else I believe I have or had done correctly but I could be wrong thats for sure. I swear on everything though ever since I first screwed up I have been reading and rereading everything I have flashed.I have to keep this phone working and I do appreciate all the help. If I was to not do the casual, it looks like it is going to make me do the OTA update, so then would I be screwed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Yes I can access stock recovery, and firmware is 4.1.1 VRALJB....I really appreciate your help bro
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
The only way to get the custom recovery and be able to flash Roms is to use Casual.

You were on Download mode and had Debugging activated on your phone when using Casual correct?

Were you using the very latest version from Adams nightly folder on Goo?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
No I wasn't using the nightly builds, but yes I had debugging on and in download...so just to make sure, I am good to do casual even though I have root access but stock rom/recovery? Thank you once again Shangrila500, so that and use the newest nightly build and I should be good?

Edit: THANK YOU ALL A MILLION. I'm fully rooted and custom recovery. .. Hopefully I'll never be posting again lol. ..guys really you are very appreciated by me and you were the key to my success!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewjt19:
I maybe wrong since its been awhile, but since you're on vralljb you should be able to use the first edition of casual. Just go to Adam's profile and search his posts. I believe you could use that since it was designed for vralljb. Don't quote me, might want to check around beforehand.. hope that helps though. Glad to see you made it through. Maybe when you're done with this you can post a detailed list of what you did to unbrick it since yours seemed a little unique. Just for someone else who may find themselves in that exact position as well.:thumbup:

Yes sir it is all said and done finally, I'm totally rooted, unlocked and TWRPed lol... I'll def post a more detailed list of what all I did with the help of XDA geniuses. Thank you again for your help on everything andrewjt19...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I am very happy for you.

First thing you need to to is make a nandroid of your stock ROM with EFS checked to back up into it and then store a copy on your computer, that way if somehow you ever experience issues with your IMEI you can use that nandroid to restore it. Don't worry about backing up your EFS into your nandroids after that, this will be the only one you need.

Then get to flashing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Man Thank you, I wouldn't have my phone back up and running if not for you and that's for sure. . You have been helpful as hell and very cool and patient with someone who was in way over his head. .. I'll definitely be taking your advise about the efs and thank you again on that. . When I was put into that second boot loop after using casual, I honestly believe I just paniced (because I'm crazy and how hard it was to get out of it the first time).. All I needed to do is shut down everything for a minute and fire it back up and run Casual again and all would have been good. .. but I'm usually pretty damn good at making **** hard lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I would have been panicking too if I had just gotten my phone back. Its easy for us to say take a step back and calm down so you can think rationally, which is what you have to do, but when we are in that situation we all wig out a little too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] easyrider1374:
well i guess i had to register today lol.. i have been using this site for a while and have had a lot of success on here.. until now lol.. i am have the exact same problem. i lost my stock rom when i formated my 64 sd micro.. so when i installed one from here flashed it through odin everything passed but now just flashes samsung.

i have followed this post to the T and cant get nothing to work. i can still get into download mode. tried casual...tried everything in here. problem is i keep getting alot of broken downloads and just cant seem to download some at all...

i have been unable to download the pit file as well

i have tried casual but that didnt work and after that odin would read my phone so i had to reinstall the drivers..i am running adam's batch odin 3.

here is what it read thus far

<OSM>Leave CS..

<ID:0/004>Odin v.3 engine(id:4)..

<ID:0/004>File analysis..

<ID:0/004>setupconnection..

<ID:0/004>cant open the serial(com)port.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 1)

the stock rom i tried to install was the i605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_VZW like i said everything passed (THE FIRST TIME) so now i'm lost lol.. i dont consider myself a total nood lol as i have rooted many phones

if you guys could point me in the right direction with some good links i'd be forever in your debt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Uggghhh sorry to hear man, I know I was bummed and lost....I don't think I should be the one giving advise at all but you said you followed it to a t? Did you do the nand erase already? I don't think you would want to do that yet, but that is what ended up getting me out of the loop after 5 days of trying all those stock rom and pit file. Hopefully one of these guys will have some advice for you but like they told me if you can get into dl mode you probably can get it back. Ill put some kind of lost of my steps today after work, sorry I have been meaning to just been working a ton and it may or may not help but I'll get it he today later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] easyrider1374:
yeah i didnt understand the nand erase part you guys were talking about... do i just check nand erase and start? or do i need a file to go with it? i dont think half the files i have, downloaded correctly that could be the biggest problem.. i am using orbits to download the files some are broken and some are not.. any suggestions on a good downloader for zips?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
I might not know exactly what you mean but I downloaded 7zip to extract the files? When I did the nand erase yes you just click the box but you do need files to be flashed while doing the erase.. yes though first of all I would make sure you try to get working and correct downloads and running just doing that without the erase cause it erased everything in phone memory. . Use the nand erase as a last option cause I do believe it can mess some **** up.. anyway what worked for me which may not for you was the nand erase checked and flashing the pit and the stock rom...but very first off you HAVE to get working downloads of the pit and either root66 or alternative or the other but make sure you get working and correct downloads. .. good luck man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] easyrider1374:
do you have a link to working files? i have tried just about every one on here lol seems like the ones i need WONT download haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Are you downloading them from droidstyles guide? They work fine for me. What type of internet connection do you have?

An easy way to check and see if the files are corrupted is by checking the MD5sum with a program, just Google how to check MD5s on Windows and you'll find a program that'll do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
that's exactly where I got mine is droidstyles

​
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
That's why I don't understand why he can't download them unless his internet connection is extremely slow, I have always had issues if I can get at least 2 mb/s. If I have a 70 KB/s or below connection I can't download them because they will be corrupted by the time they finish.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] easyrider1374:
you would be correct sir...i just checked my internet speeds and i am running right around 1.9 mbps where as i am typically at 10 to 15 mbps:( huge difference!!! cable company will be here tomoorow to fix. i have noticed everything loading slower just never gave it much thought. as soon as it is fixed i will try an download again..

unfortunately i had to get a new note 2 in the mean time (business phone) but i guess now i will at least have a phone to practice on lol.

i will keep you posted when i get some good downloads and try again... thanks for the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well that should have been good enough to download it, very very slowly but you could've downloaded it. I suspect it was being corrupted because something is up with your net, hence the MD5 checker.

That's really neat technology, but I wouldn't do it to the phone I paid $600 for. To be honest, water damage is the least of my concerns. I'm far more likely to drop it on pavement or gravel.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What about the connectors for battery, sd and sim cards, headphone jack, usb port.....I'm assuming you'd have to scrape the stuff off of where ever there needs to be bare metal for a connection. If anyone does this be extremely careful of the usb/charging port! It can be easily damaged. And this stuff probably won't be easy to get out of a headphone jack if it blocks the connection.

I'm also curious about the effect it has on the sound, but more importantly the mic. Will others be able to hear you as well?

I'm cautiously optimistic with this stuff. It is awesome, but for a smart phone, I don't know. Kinda wonder if they were just using it as an extreme demonstration, like the guy with a screen door in the bottom of the boat. Sure it can be done, but it is never actually recommended you do so.

Not trying to be a downer, just thinking of all the angles to look at before doing a $600 test. Be careful! And good luck! I really do hope it works w/o any issues!

Oh and someone asked about touchscreen sensitivity. They did not apply it to the screen.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Jamsterxx:
Hi

I'm not going to lie but I am pretty new to this. I wanted to upgrade my xperia tipo from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 and have researched and read about how to do it. I read that apparently the phone cannot be rooted with the firmware 11.0.A.22 so it had to be flashed to 11.0.A.16 and then can be rooted. I did this successfully and kept a backup. Then I read that a phone cannot be rooted without bootunlock and tried to do this but it said my phone root ( or lock) access was no.

*Q1. Does this mean I cannot root the phone at all?

*Q2. Also would I be able to get it unlocked from a shop perhaps?

So as I cant root it yet at least I wanted to return my firmware to 11.0.A.22 but flash tool wont let me:

*Q3. Can someone help me and answer my questions please! Would love to have an upgraded tipo as all other sony phones are a bit expensive! At least until payday!

*But my last question is, is it even worth upgrading it from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2?

Thankyou :good:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Not worth voiding your warranty. Just use rom for locked bootloader. You can still root on .22. Have you tried pc companion - repair? Unlock from shop with unlock: no? Tricky, but there is no testpoint method yet for tipo. For me, 4.1.2 is great if it comes directly from sony official update, as long as my HD games run as fast as the old ics v27/v22.

Now i want to root it. I searched the forum didnt get any satisfiable walkthrough. please help me.Do i have to downgrade to ICS.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k.electron:
I just got 2 refurbs and neither of them will connect to 4g on my sim (verizon). 3g works fine.

they both updated to vrbmf1 and keep oscillating between 2,4,8 asu while my gnex right next to it is at 43asu.

tried all combinations of settings in mobile networks (mode, apn, roaming, blah). the same sim in the nexus is no problem. tried a different sim, same thing. any idea what incredibly simple thing i am missing here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
Ensure this is set correctly.. Settings > Wireless and Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Data Enabled is checked. Network Mode: LTE/CDMA/EVDO. System Select: Automatic. CDMA Subscription: RUIM/Sim.. Other than that, You perhaps have bad hardware, a bad sim card, or sit in a very fringe 4G area. Perhaps try flashing a different modem or contacting verizon to see how strong your 4G area is and what your options are.

Note: This is AOSP, so some digging may be needed if on Stock/Touchwiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k.electron:
tried stock/aosp with multiple basebands on both. On the nexus i get -68dbm with either sim and 20+mbps on 4g consistently. my house never downgrades to 3g at all. its in the middle of a 4g area. on aosp i checked to make sure the option was ruim/sim.

one theory is that the sims are really worn out on the contacts and the gnex just has a springier reader that connects better or they are somehow cached on the nexus - does that make any sense.

i can understand 1 of the units being bad, but 2 of them with the exact same bad behavior.... super unlikely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
I would take it into Verizon and have them troubleshoot the sim.. Perhaps you could even contact tech support and get an S4 out of the deal for the hassle.. Worth a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k.electron:
my apologies. havent been here in a while and was in panic mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k.electron:
would an extended battery cause this? they never gave me a battery so i just got the laza zcell extended from amazon.

going to take everything to the verizon store and have them replace sims and see what happens. i'd love to get an s4, but i dont want to lose unlimited data so will try to avoid and upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k.electron:
tested with a friends stock battery, no luck.

I used this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo to check the signal status. when i pop my sim in, all the lte related fields go to n/a. when i remove the sim and boot the phone i see numbers there.

looking like bad sims.... flabbergasted that both sims are bad for the s3 but good enough for the nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k.electron:
its the sim. i put in a friends sim and it worked fine. so dumb that both my sims did this.

When I click on "load via insmod" (in CifsManager) my TF201 crashes and resets, trying to load the module through terminal also causes it to crash and reset.
