[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whity3187:
Hi there,

I am using Note II International Variant..

I am very new to flashing and putting custom ROMs.

Before I started, I wanted to backup my ROM that I am currently having. I understand that TWRP is the best tool to do this.

So I decided to backup my ROM using TWRP.

The problem is, I am not able to boot into TWRP recovery mode. I tried the GooManager and Odin methods and it failed.

In ODIN its going to the RESET status and rebooting the device.(Attached)

Every time its taking me to the android system recovery page. Dont know what to do and I am really stuck.

Note: Before trying all this, I had installed something called ROM Manager and had tried to install the ClockRecoveryMode from there.But I never tried using that.

Update 18.07.2013 Tried DD method and failed.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
Goo manager cannot install TWRP on the Note 2, so you were right in using the ODIN method.

I am trying to understand what is "android system recovery page". After you install the recovery with ODIN, does it boot into Android? Does it go to download mode? Or does it go to stock recovery?

Usually you can boot into recovery by turning the phone on while holding VOL UP + HOME BTN + POWER for 4-5 seconds while the "Samsung galaxy note II" is on the screen and then releasing the power button until it goes into recovery. Or, if you're lazy like me, open Goo Manager, press MENU and select Reboot Recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whity3187:
What I meant is the android system recovery screen which has the following info on the screen..

Doing VOL UP + HOME BTN + POWER for 4-5 seconds is taking me to this screen rather than the TWRP screen.

ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY <3e>

SAMSUNG SYSTEM RECOVERY UTILS

-FOR BML-

-REBOOT SYSTEM NOW

-APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP

-WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET

-WIPE CACHE PARTITION

I am normally rebooting the device after that. I recently noticed that in ODIN once I connect the device the box is not turning yellow despite installing the latest samsung drivers. In the download mode,on the device, its showing the no. of custom recovery attempts done.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
pretty sure that this line

<ID:0/014> RQT_CLOSE !!

mean that the request to write the recovery got denied .... no writing done ...

i don't know what is the cause to this though ..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
Are you rooted? If you are you could try installing the recovery a terminal emulator with DD:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Try that and see if it works!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whity3187:
Yes I am rooted. Will try the DD mode and let u know.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whity3187:
Is there a possibility that the bootloader is locked and it had to be unlocked first?

Also how to verify if its locked or not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabukannappan:
I'll not be able to help you in TWRP recovery mode since i have not tried it.

I tried CWM recovery and this is how i installed CWM:

1) download CWM tar.md5 file

2) flashed in ODIN mode and after refresh it started booting into normal mode

3) while rebooting into normal mode, i pressed Volume UP + HOME+ POWER key and i was in CWM mode.

4) after making the changes and pressed reboot system in CWM it asked for disabling Stock recovery and i pressed yes.

5) I think even i got Reset during flashing but not sure about it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whity3187:
I tried the DD method just now. Nothing happened. It again went to the android recovery page. :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
Did you do it with superuser permissions (typing SU before issuing the DD command)?

what does terminal emulator output after you do it?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whity3187:
Yes I was running using the su command.

But after lot of trials I managed to boot to recovery menu using Cwm mod using ROM Manager.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I have been searching for HOURS to find out how to boot into twrp and EVERYTHING, everything on this site and everywhere else has said vol. down + home + power that just takes me to download mode and I can't understand what they're doing differently. THANK YOU, RANDOM COMMENT FROM YEARS AGO
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonipawan52:
for anyone there who still needs help

hey guys i found a solution to this problem. i know its late to reply to this post but anyone who still face this issue might find this method useful. so just after flashing the recovery when the device restarts hold the vol. up and home key instantly. try this method again and again. once you are on time it will definitely boot in twrp. i got this in the very first time :) lucky huh ?? ;)

please press the thanks button if this helped (will help for sure ;) )
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
An easier way, in my opinion to flash TWRP, is to open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash twrp, when you the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, press the volume up, home, and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button. This is necessary because allowing the phone to reboot on its own after installing TWRP causes the stock recovery to overwrite TWRP upon auto reboot.

Thanks!! Works fine!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] stefan_athito:
Having major problems with my XDA II i....any help gratefully received!! I have tried to find similar postings but without much luck...there is lots of talk of ROM upgrades etc etc but no mention of my particular issue.

I must state at this point I am a newbie in terms of ROM upgrades or whatever....but I am desperate to fix this issue as I am left with a dead phone...and sure someone at work can help me if the technology beats me!!!!

At least once a day it will crash and not respond to trying to power up from the on switch. It will only respond to a soft reset. This is intermittent and does not happen after a certain time span, time of day, after x hours in standby or anything.

I am met with a blank screen etc etc BUT the green light on the right hand side keeps flashing when the phone is 'dead'. It also seems to still be connected to the cellular network because if I dial my number from a landline I get a tone on the landline but the handset is dead. Also the

The only time that it started to behave better was when I disabled the Auto Standby function...I killed my battery but the phone seemed to behave much better because it wasn't going into standby from which it seems to not recover.

This is the second handset I have had from O2, the other one failed for the same reason so there is a 'bigger' problem somewhere...therefore I would rather look to you guys for help as opposed to getting the usual run-around from O2 who don't really seem to want to engage in this at a detailed level. I don't really want to give them the handset for another two weeks just to get another one with the same fault on it again.....

I have no other software installed other than the base OS and it still happens.

Details are as follows:

ROM 1.10.00 WWE

Rom date 12/24/04

Radio 1.00.00

Protocol 1337.39

ExtROM 1.10.124 WWE

Model PH10C

sorry, moved to correct forum
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
Guys, I am quite a flashomaniac. I usually install every single ROMs released in forums. But recently i am getting some serious lag issues on my phone.

After installing Sense ROMs(Sense 3.6 ICS, Sense 4.1 ICS or Sense 4+ JB 4.1) my phone performs perfectly without lag(with normal usage, nothing heavy).

But these ROMs being so large in size and some HTC bloat, and my hatred for sense, i want to use AOSP roms. But when I install AOSP/CM(10/10.1) roms, my phone lags like f**k after installing 2-3 apps(usually some themes, viber and Line) and using them. I always wipe my partitions and format my sdcard regularly. Still facing same lags. I try running my CPU at max frequency(my phone's chip supports only to 1728 GHz) and at performance governer. Still those lags remain.

I installed whole firmware package from latest HTC RUU too, still have same issues.

Does anyone have any idea about this?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if there are any apps that you don't need and consumes ram use app quarantine from play store to disable them

see then how it goes
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
I mentioned my basic apps. I see lags after installing those apps only. And I use Greenify too.

Yesterday i thought of trying to limit background processes to 2(from dev settings) and its working okay, but at the cost of having almost no-multitasking.

Hmm, launch the RUU exe file, then go to its app data in windows, and pull the ROM.zip file, rename it to PD98IMG.zip, stick it on your sdcard and go into hboot

nothing. device manager shows android 1.0.

htc sync says no conected devices

G particion doesent pop up - cant reach the datas on sd card

cant reach device from computer

white screen - obviously usb debugging off

if i could see the device i solved all my problems. the rest wouldnt bug me at all - i mean on unlooking, flashing recovery and rom
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charles66:
already tried, doesent work.

hboot needs to be updated
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
What that PD98IMG does IS update your hboot (and everything else) to what's in the RUU. And are you sure your phone is in fastboot (not hboot) when you run "fastboot devices?"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
You need to flash a RUU from fastboot as you were told. The ruu needs to be for your device (match CID and Main Version) other wise it will fail. Depending on what Main Version you are you might be able to update the hboot and then unlock the bootloader. Boot the device in hboot, press power and plug it to the PC (you should see fastboot usb in red) then open a cmd in the PC and run this command:

fastboot getvar all

Paste the outcome in here deleting the IMEI

hboot recognised file and do sd card checking for a minute - than just returns to boot menu and stay

I get permission denied errors following this step

6.Reboot the phone, ensure the rom is working fine and you have root access you can test this by turning on usb debugging then:

•Adb shell

•Su

You should see the $ turn into a #. If this happens, congrats you have root access.

Everything up until then has gone well, unlocking, using the recovery image to install the rooted stock.. so why the permission denied errors when i type Su ?? if it's unlocked and has a rooted stock shouldn't I be seeing the $ change to #

I don't know much about these commands with abd, have no idea what i am doing wrong, followed the instructions to the letter so far.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
When you type su the first time you should get a pop up on your phone asking for su permissions, you then need to grant permission on the phone or you wont see # in adb command.

Guys can anyone suggest me a 4.2 rom which doesnot have the flickering and touch screen issues

I want to upgrade from 4.1.2..... i like the stock interface more....

Thanks
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Sorry bro, there isn't any rom for us as of yet.. But I think the SAM v4 is based on S4 clone and not Micromax so that should work in our phones.. I can't say for sure, but will surely try it. And ya its not like the stock one. You will have to wait for someone to upload one like that.
[Micromax A116] adi_sat123:
so almost all roms have the probability of getting the flicker issue...

and one more thing I am currently on stock 4.1.2...

can i just install [4.2.1] STARKHD v3.6 or [4.2.1] SAMHDv4 ROMs directly using CWM? or do i have to update to 4.2.1 then install??

sorry if u think this question is silly.....but i'm good at modding xperia devices....but this is kinda different
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
You can directly install them using cwm.. That's alright bro we all were in your situation once.. And i'll suggest you don't try to flash any custom roms that are based on the stock 4.2.1 given by Micromax. Cause for all of those we will get that flickering issue
[Micromax A116] adi_sat123:
stock based rom means ... u mean ... StarkHD,samHD all those????

Which means all of them are stock based right??

Only MIUI and CM(not released yet) are non stock based right.....

well that is how we categorize in sony forums

or are u mentioning the threads mentioning "stock based roms"

Thanks for u r patience
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
You can check on which base rom the custom rom is based.. I think the ones which have Micromax as their base roms will show flickering.. As I have flashed several times, I haven't tried them but I have heard they work great.. Stark hd is based on mmx while sam hd is not mmx based.. You can check out the base rom at the end of the thread details

Have you tried accesing the recovery or download mode, by pressing the top/bottom volume? If so, you should be able to just flash a new fimware onto it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzsomebody:
I too am experiencing this with my N8000.

What you should do is when you start or power on the device, Just leave it sit frozen with the writing you too.

Eventually, the device does boot, its like has a corrupt partition, or some type of corrupt memory or drive, or at least thats what I suspect.

Still experimenting and equally frustrated by this.

I also bought a used fully functional N8020 4G version to see if I could replicate or assist trouble shooting.

My efforts show that both S Pens works on the N8020 fine, and both S Pens do not work on the N8000 which has the boot issue too.

Tell me, does your S Pen work fine if and when you get your device booted?

Its really weird but if I dont get it sorted soon, I might just keep the N8020 and ebay off my N8000 which is a shame as both are cool, but I only need one & especially one that works.

Would be keen to hear from other users with similar issues or fixes.

ps:

I have tried a couple of stock roms, and issues (slow boot appears frozen and no S Pen functionality) are the same.

When in recovery, caches cleared and full factory date wipe data and install.

Other symptoms.

After doing the total wipe and reboot, the device still takes it time booting to do the install.

With and without charger inserted, its still the same.

Another point, when you turn off the device, the battery icon appears, it hangs on the battery picture with a little circle on it.

After about 2 minutes, the full battery colour progress icon shows and shows the charge happening.

Hence, suspicions towards potentially corrupt memory or drive, plus maybe cracked circuit board even? I rule nothing out here.

There you have it, appreciate feedback or other recommendations.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirduffy:
after installing a stock rom the tablet starts in bootloop then I discovered that letting the battery becomes exhausted, re-starting recovery screen appeared, I pressed on wipe memory rekindled and tablet restarted without encountering any difficulties.

The s-pen did not work because the csc was unknown, after flashing the right csc the spen has started to work well.

Anyway attentive to the stock rom you have installed I Have flashed a (4 files) from a site very close to samsung and it was fine, another downloaded from another site (1 file) not good.

Excuse for my bad english and I hope to help you
