Bootloop

Been using this rom for months with no problem. I now have a problem that I don't think is related to the rom but perhaps someone here can help.

My phone is basically in a bootloop. Shutting it down to try and get into Philz/CWM recovery doesn't work (Vol up, main button, power). It just keeps going into the same bootloop.

So I can't get into the phone and I can't get into recovery. I can however get into download mode.

Do I need to odin back to stock? Is there a way to reload recovery maybe from odin?

Thanks for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
If you can get into download mode you should be able to get into recovery. Also you can use odin to flash recovery. All three recoveries have odin files which will have md5 extensions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] deweylima:
Thanks but I don't know why I can't get into recovery. I even reflashed Philz through odin. All went well. Indicates it worked. But menu, power and volume up just goes right to restart the phone again. No custom recovery.

Menu, power and volume down does work for download mode. Is there any other way to get into the custom recovery (considering I can not boot into the phone normally of course either)?

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Maybe the vol + key is not responding. If you can only get into odin then maybe try an odin image. Rwilco has an one click exe version that should work for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] deweylima:
Thanks again for your help. Don't think it's the volume up key as that seems to work to get me in Download mode and has always worked fine.

I downloaded and ran through odin the following file: L900SPTAMC2_1090526_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5

It ran successfully but upon re-boot it again stayed on the booting up screen (google four colors) and would go no further.

When I try and run the file through odin again with either "Re-partition" or "nand erase all" checked, I get an error and it will not run.

I think I may have originally tried to re-install the philz recovery through the bootloader button on Odin. Could that have caused a problem? I'm starting to think my phone has a major problem.

Any suggestion or guide to completely resetting everything and start from scratch from within Odin?

Thanks

I would suggest going back to bone stock, either 4.1.1 or 4.1.2

then root and install recovery via the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit...

That's what I'm trying to do. I just ran a file through Odin to get me back. Took about 3 minutes. Everything looked fine. Here is a printout of the Odin message screen:

If it took 3 mins something went wrong. It takes longer than that. Have you upgraded to mk4?

If not use this link.

http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...(SPH-L900)/Stock ROMs/MC2/Full Restore/Rooted

Use the first file listed. It is an exe file so download it to your pc and then run the file.

If you have already upgraded to mk4 use this link.

http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...PH-L900)/Stock ROMs/MK4/Full Restore/Unrooted

It is not rooted and has all the Knox files so hopefully you wont need to use this one.

Can someone recommend a Voice Dialing app that works with the Bluetooth.

I have MotoSpeak installed which worked great with TW but haven't found anything that would work with the

DU.

Thank you for any suggestions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] deweylima:
I am not on MK4 and am currently downloading the file you suggested (taking several hours). Will try it when it downloads.

Thanks again for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sorry that download is slow for you too bad I dont have a copy to mirror but hopefully it works. Also lets move to private message so that we don't clog up the thread with non rom related stuff.

Getting an improperly signed app error when trying to update dash clock widget. What's the best way to work around this with root browser without harming any of the system functionality?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Try using adb reboot recovery from a terminal/command prompt
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
That's because it's compiled inline with the rom. You can delete that apk from /system/app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ziggysmalls:
After I delete and install, can I place it back in system app? Is it tied in to the lock screen notifications in the dirty tweaks menu? [MENTION=3746764]mazwoz[/MENTION]

Normal on every 4.4 rom if you install gapps before first boot. Just cancel and skip the activation stuff because it does not do anything.

Is this ROM going to get any more update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Honestly it's that attitude that demotivates developers. We are working very hard on the next release. We aren't like other teams that release as quick as possible without testing and working out bugs. Calm down and a new release will be available when we get to that point.

Market not working

When I open google play it says no connection even though I have connection and am able to get on google chrome and post this comment. I have tried to re install google play but this did not fix the problem. I am also wondering if there is any way to change the DPI of applications on this new version of the rom like there was on older versions. Thanks for your help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Loved Aokp Unicorn on my Captivate.

Wanna give this a try. Hoping it has Note specific functions or can add them.

I have a Note. If I cant use multi window and spen properly then no rom is worth more than a test run.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Well...all of Android folder being erased and titanium back up folder being erased was not expected. :/

ROM is OK though.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

At least I had some backups. It merged numerous folders and over wrote them. :(

Even Stweaks could only get the volume decent.

The rom is awesome and custmizable but just not the one for me.

Flashing test build

If I am flashing the newest test build of this ROM over the latest stable version of it, do I need to wipe, flash, reinstall GAPPS, etc. Or Can I just flash the test build and have it be good to go with all my existing data/programs still on?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flynhawn2002:
Maz...this ROM has been outstanding despite the GPS (I know how to fix it...just being lazy and I dont use it anyway) and the hot spot (again barely use that, loL!)

The experience is awesome VERY clean and fast! Feels like I have a NEW device lol! Thanks and looking forward to your future work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
While a clean flash is always nice, you should be able to dirty flash it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] noahas:
Great, thank you. Really like this ROM. Thanks for the work on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Thank you. I'm trying to figure out some of this issues (hot spot) and the TWRP flashing problems, hopefully they won't take too long.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
While this is always a risk with any flash, something tells me that it was not caused by the ROM itself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Considering the last seen progress on finding out why 2.7 and 2.6.x are not flashing 4.4 builds right...I wouldn't delay your work for TWRP to get fixed, if I was you.

Last I read and heard, bigbiff hasn't even been able to get logs (usable or otherwise) out of 2.7 to start troubleshooting from any of the volunteer tester folks (via adb or otherwise).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
I hear you, but it doesn't break GSM devices, only CDMA which tells me there is either a problem with the device tree, kernel, or recovery. To me this is a big deal because I prefer TWRP and loath CWM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Sure. But given that KK has been in the wild on our device almost 6 months, and whatever Android version Google is planning is due soon...I'm starting to get a bit pessimistic of TWRP getting made working for 4.4+ on L900

Hopefully bigbiff has found something...otherwise the writing on the wall for me reads like this may be one of those riddles never solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Yeah, I'll talk to dees_troy to see what he says.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
I never had to deal with the 0data and media folder issue before on my other phones with 4.1-4.4 roms and no clue where the files were sent. All was fine. Sorry for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flynhawn2002:
Maz, I hope I didnt pressure you into getting those items worked out? I can live without them! thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Nah, those have been on my list for a while. I have just been so busy that I haven't got to it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Does anyone have a little experience with the microphone settings?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
No, not really. I may have a fix for in call volume and soaker volume soon. Trading things right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Thanks. I'm more looking towards concert mic settings for the gains.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flynhawn2002:
Maz, I finally had time to set up the ROM again and this time everything works! I am not sure this was the problem but if google play services is updated it breaks the hot spot? So this time around I cancelled the update and all is good!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodyshop:
is it ok now to use TWRP or is Philz still the best option with this ROM? if philz which version? i cant locate it in Goomanager or find the link in the cwm thread. there are several but none say the note 2 sprint

You have to use philz just Google it or look in android development it will take 2 sec
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodyshop:
I did that. Have you tried it. You see how many comes up? None of them says for the Sprint note 2. You go to a page with a list of name from a -z each having numerous files in them.

Try going to the download phase not just the Google results.

If anyone has a link or an upload it would be appreciated. or at least the name of which one to pic outta the list of options since none says Sprint note 2.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
A mod is not always something a user can change but is something the dev did. While I dont use this rom so I am not exactly sure what the mod is I am willing to be that the hardware keys act differently than a normal aosp rom. Hope this helps explain the statement the op made.

Sometimes I get lag spikes consistently and/or one or two of the CPU cores stop (I check via CPU-Z). How do I diagnose this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VassagoX:
I absolutely LOVE this rom and have been using it since it first came onto the device. I try other roms and always come back to this one. That being said...

I just updated to this version a couple days ago. I LOVE the update. I noticed the system integrated version of dashclock was not the latest version, so I used Titanium to uninstall as others online have recommended and tried to install the new version. It's giving me an error after attempting to install stating it's incompatible. The Titanium backup will also NOT re-install. I seem pretty much hosed.

Anyone else successfully update? What's my best way to reinstall without having to manually set everything up again?

Keep up the great work!

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it to install somehow after exactly 2 restarts. Weird it wouldn't work after the first one.

sprint vvm

Ok so this worked for me and testers so should work for most. first you must be on sprints voicemail system. if you are using a 3rd party voicemail like google voice or hullo, you must deactivate that and make sure you are back on the sprint voicemail service. once you are you will start recieving the 9016 text. if you are already on sprint voice mail and are recieving the 9016 messages then go ahead to the second part.

first download this app from the play store Super private conversation you will need to install that and add 9016 to the black list. check everything until you get to the option for block sms and calls just check sms only box. then exit.

next download this voice mail apk http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880935000 download it to your phone then you can install and use titanium back up to convert to system apk or just use root explorer and place it in your system/apps/ folder then reboot.

now you should recieve sprint vvm and no 9016 text. I know this is a hoky fix but it works.

Hey, it works, right? :p Thanks again for this.
