[General Questions and Answers] SnackoDog:
I rooted and flashed a custom ROM to my phone several months ago, but now I need to take it in for repairs/replacement. So, I want to take it back to stock and reset the flash counter. But I have a few questions that I am confused about.

1) Is flashing a stock ROM with Odin, and restoring a stock backup with TWRP basically the same thing? (When/Why would you do one, or the other?). I did make a TWRP backup after I rooted, and before I flashed the custom ROM..

2) Does it matter which version of Odin you use with your phone or ROM? I have 2 versions of stock ROM for my phone (Galaxy Note 2). The later version flashes fine every time. The older one flashes fine (Odin says: Success 1 / Fail 0), but hangs when booting. I have downloaded that older ROM from 3 different locations and all do the same thing. Why would one stock ROM flash fine every time, but the other not???

3) I currently have that newer stock ROM flashed on the phone, but the flash counter says 2. I didn't know you had to be rooted to reset the flash counter with TriangleAway. So, now it looks like I have to root my phone all over again go reset the flash counter. But if I root the phone, reset the flash counter to 0, and then flash a stock ROM, won't that then increase the Flash Counter to 1?

Thanks for any help!

No its different

When u flash with odin you will on stock

When you flash with twrp(i dont know about twrp) u will get to your stock rom but rooted

Yes its matters

U use odin given with particular phone

It is because of odin version that one rom was flashing fine and not the other

No it would not once you are on stock it will disappear

This should fix ur problem:thumbup:

[General Questions and Answers] SnackoDog:
Hmm... well I got my stock ROMs from SamMobile.com and they did not come with Odin. I don't even see Odin available on their site. I have downloaded several stock roms from different places and they did not have Odin. That's why I have been confused if you need different versions of Odin for different phones. Also because there is no site that has a list.

But I did download Chainfire's CF Auto-Root to root and flash TWRP only. And that download did come with Odin3 v1.85. So, at this point I am 'guessing' that this is the version of Odin I should use for my phone (Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317), but it's just a guess. So, I used this version of Odin to flash one of those earlier stock ROMs that were hanging during boot. And they still hang at boot, so I don't know if it's Odin or the stock roms or what. But this v1.85 does also flash my later stock ROM with JB 4.1.2, which flashed fine also with the v3.07 of Odin. So, both versions of Odin work for that stock, but not the other stock ROMs. Very strange...
[General Questions and Answers] amit@12:
Try googling how to flash stock rom of ur device

And use odin to flash cwm

This should fix ur problem:thumbup:

Clearing up some confusion

I ran into the same kind of issue having recieved a working version of odin with my root from cf auto root site... then came the 5.0 lollipop and the desire to ditch sprint and go to metro pcs...

everything is about a year old, or there abouts, and I see alot of posts pointing to http://www.sammobile.com/ .... first of all they most certainly do not have every firmware like they claim and they absolutly don't have old versions... they make mention of some but as far as the links working out.... :crying:

much baiting and switching with these samsung devices....

I did find a post where a guy almost sounded like he knew what he was talking about until he went on to say that it is not an exact science and it is all based on if - then , chance- happening

either works or it doesn't.... likelihood of you bricking while trying to flash stock rom is very low... but you can read what he said anyway... nothing past first post though as it doesn't lead anywhere... unless you have one of the model numbers he refers too... and even then, maybe not..

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/27-08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

this site was the only one that had what i needed as far as the stock ROM pre lollipop

http://server14.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyS5/SM-G900P/G900PVPU1ANCB_G900PSPT1ANCB_SPR.zip

and wouldn't you know ... no link to ODIN... so .... I found a every-version-having-download-site

http://odindownload.com/Samsung-Odin/#.VY2WBPlVhBc

but of course there is no heads or tails to be understood from that site either... but at least you will have every version and don't have to worry about trying to find the next one....

Hope this helped....:laugh:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuko303:
Hello. For the past 2 day's my phone has been REALLY slow not to mention laggy as hell. It all started when I lend my sd card to a friend overnight so he can watch man of steel along with other movies I had on it. Here is the thing. He's phone is a MESS. He has the s2 and that thing turns off on him ALL the time. Freezes. So now my galaxy note 2 is actin stupid when I download a large game (around 230mb) it begins to lag. The screen will not respond for like 5 seconds then it touches everywhere I did. Ive tried reseting my phone nothing. Tried a back up/dfferent rom. No dice.

What can be possibly wrong all these market "anti virus" scanners are all just imitation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Does the phone to back to normal with the SD card out?

You could try copying your all of your SD card to your computer, deleting all of the files on it, formatting the SD card, and copying back what you need.

Also, I've found my phone used to lag when I racked up too many text messages. I currently use Handcent and have it set to keep only a certain amount per thread...I routinely go through all my threads and delete conversations with people I hardly text as well.

Hope this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuko303:
Thanks. But its acting like this even without the sd card the one that I use for movies is an extra 32gb this one I have is mine mine dont let no one borrow it. I don't text a lot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
I dont thonk its a virus. Wipe cache and see if its helps. Also dalvik
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
In addition to wiping cache and dalvik cache, do a "fix permissions" under advanced in recovery.

If that doesn't work - I would recommend in recovery that you mount /system and then format system. Then immediately flash a rom or a backup made before the trouble started...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuko303:
Thanks I did a clean CLEAN install of labrats and all is grand. Thanks for your help fellas. Don't seem to lag anymore

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HighlanderZA:
Hi Everyone - After a little nagging from a few of them, I've finally been persuaded to put together a thread

to share some of the mods I've made with the help of my NeatROM family.

Without them and _Sale_ 's NeatROM, I'd still be staring at a stock Samsung Galaxy SII, which is a scary thought.:eek:

I'm partial to 'tarting' up my phone a bit so most of this stuff is sort of 'fancy'.

I mean, we have a HOT color screen, so why not enjoy it!

This thread will be a WIP (work in progress) lots of screenshots to make and Zips to prepare.

Be patient, be kind and I'll even accept requests, within reason and time permitting, of course.

I work all day, have a family and this is just a hobby!

DOWNLOAD LINK - See Post #3.

Blue Glow Theme mods Menu POPUPS, Dialer, Contacts, Mms, Phone, Framework and Lidroid Toggle Background. Also adds all the S4 Faces.

Pics show my Bottom Toggles - will only change the background behind your Lidroid Toggles to Blue Glow

Notification Panel Backgrounds for 23 Bottom Toggles

(Mod based on churapa's guide) with Brightness slider.

These are based on the expectation that you have already flashed one of engloa's 23 Toggle Mods.

Picture has been sized and laid out so as not to be hidden by the toggles or slider. The png used REPLACES the

notification_panel.9.png with a std png file.

My '23 Bottom Toggle with Brightness Slider' mod is linked in Downloads. I've added a 'Recent Apps'

button to the Notification Bar Header. The mod comes with a plain black background.

You can then flash the Notification picture of your choice after this.

For our Top Toggle users.

S4 Contacts faces to replace the 'Mr Nobody' look we got on our S2's.

This mods SecPhone, SecContacts and SecMms.

Framework Mods to tart up the Menu Popups.

Dialer Mod to match Blue Glow Menu Popups also adds all the S4 Faces.

To all those who have helped and guided me, I hope I've remembered you all. Please let me know if I leave anyone out.

THANK YOU.

I'll release a complete VRTheme sometime this weekend which will add to the existing SecContacts mod and give us a look like below.:angel:

I will probably include the S4 'Faces' as part of the theme unless anyone objects strongly as I think they are much nicer than the Mr Nobody, faceless person, from stock.
