Had similar issue once and I wiped cache/dalvik x3 and using philz recovery clicked on wipe data/factory reset and chose option "yes I want to install a new ROM" did that 3x also. Then re flashed ROM.

All widgets stick on reboot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
Maybe you need some of the DATA partition stuff and can't fully wipe? I didn't fully wipe mine, came from P&B rom and had a few apps that still work... i.e. paper artist etc etc

To the person that can't flash on ODIN, did you try Odin 3?

Where is the wifi hotspot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louiestl956:

I use native mode + Wifi Tether Router from Play store, works perfect. Somehow they managed to block my tether since I am not paying for it but app opened up tethering, only two bucks, worth it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Picture Frame sticks on reboot for me, this ROM did not come with transparent clock/weather. Birthday? Weather Bug and Scout Navigation make sure they are on device storage and not sd card storage. That's the only thing I can think of.

I also had the same issue with philz, almost moved files, and re-format my ext sd card, but instead flashed TWRP, and used TWRP to flash 1.3 which worked. Not sure why Philz won't flash these zip files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Not sure either. I use philz on regular basis except before a release then I use all 3 (philz, cwm, twrp) and I dont have any issues. Although every phone can be different.

No gremlins here. I do a regular anti gremlin regime to keep them bad boys away. Splash a bit of virgin blood on the screen then blow smoke from a burning bat wing into the speaker. After that I rub some eye of newt jelly on the camera lense followed by playing Barny the dinosaur for two hours. All gremlins will be gone after that. I repeat the steps any time they decide to come back.

Thx [MENTION=4011301]jlmancuso[/MENTION] I was catching up a few pages back, and notice someone had mention not to use the new version of philz recovery, curious, are you using the 6.12.8 I believe is the latest version? that's the version I was having issues with. Also, Has anyone reported the missing Wifi Hotspot option in this 1.3 rom version. I was on 1.2.2, I did not dirty flash, and I am using devil's kernel. just wondering. Thx!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I use version 6.07.9. Did you have hotspot on 1.2.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondabwoy:
Yes had wifi hotspot in version 1.2.2 That version worked so well was a little hesitant to move on to any updates. Confused a bit is version 1.2b the update after 1.2.2? Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well the version numbers are a bit odd. 1.2.1 1.2.2 were based off of 1.2 and 1.3 is based off of 1.2b.

To get the hotspot back I suggest wiping your internal sd also. You need to go into mounts and select wipe /data/media then reboot into recovery (important to reboot) then factory reset/clean to install new rom. Then flash the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 4lph4num3r1c:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Well back to stock with reset failed.. In twrp it said no OS installed (figures) So I went a head and flashed rwilcos12 back to stock rooted tar file and that worked for restoring my phone...

[MENTION=4011301]jlmancuso[/MENTION] Right On The Money, you are correct sir, used your recommended wiping steps using twrp, and had same issue where rom would not flash just like in philz recovery, but forgot 1 step, I didn't reboot back into recovery after the data\media (internal sd) wipe. I did that, reboot back into recovery after TWRP restore/install SU access, the zip flashed and worked AND wifi hotspot is back. Thx again for your hard work!

Is there a zip file I can flash for call recording instead of Xposed mod or Wanam mods?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Not that I know of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
here is what i use to record calls, it works perfect and you can select where you want the recordings stored. the only problem i've found is that it records every call and you have to delete the recordings you don't want to keep
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The one from exposed will allow you to only record once you press the record button. The choice is the users but I try to give the best option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
I just want to tell you the process of flashing this rom yesterday.

I used Philz to format the internal sd card, then system, then preload, then wipe cache partition, then factory reset, and finally clean to flash new rom. I did it many times before but this time, it said no root access. when I pressed NO, it hung at the galaxy note 2 letter. I then reverted back to MC2 and rooted again and repeated the same step and the same result. So, today I reverted it back to unroot MC2 and took OTA update to MK4. Then I rooted. I will try to flash the new 1.3 again to see if the same problem comes back.

Is that the way to clean everything before to install the MK4? This is the second note 2. The first one went on without any problem.

TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You need to reboot recovery before flashing the Rom. Check out this post from another user with some of the same issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay but did you reboot into after wiping then flash Rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
first one did second one did not with same result. trying to do it again now. It worked this time. Here is my same steps as yesterday: back to unrooted stock MC2, got the OTA update to MK4 then rooted with CF Auto Root, install SuperSU, flashed the TWRP 2.3.6.0 through Odin via computer, then rebooted into recovery to flash the Philz. Then the rest as I mentioned in earlier post. For whatever worth, it worked this time. That's all I care. One question: can I remove the Google launcher? I dont like it.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
After my kernel try, i decided to jump over here and use this ROM and Google launcher. First of all, runs smooth! Good job.

Second i think i like this Google launcher thing.. Ill keep playing.

I also decided to go "all in" and use hangouts for texting too. That part im not so sure about. I have a text conversation from my wife both on MMS and another on SMS. One of them i can call from, and the other i can video call. I only have one contact of her, so I'm not sure why.. Anyway like i said good stuff on the ROM, the important part! Just wondering if anyone had advice on the hangouts thing, or just use another texting app. Def a noob there.

Replied in other thread. Twrp=bad on tw 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
I see you have TWRP. Did you have the MC2 file from this thread in your external sdcard? If you do, reboot back to TWRP recovery and chose factory reset/wipe again. After that, chose install zip file from external sd and chose the folder where you have your MC2 back to unrooted stock. After it finish, just chose do not install the root file and DO NOT WIPE CACHE/DELVIK again. It will boot loop if you DO WIPE CACHE/Delvik. Then, you should let the system restore your app and update to MK4. Then go here: http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-sprint-sph.html?m=1 and follow instruction to root the MK4. Then, you should install Philz 6.07.9. This one can do the same as TWPR back to stock unroot. However, it will do restore for MK4 but current TWRP CANNOT.

If you do not have the back to unrooted stock MC2 file, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 and get it. You have to remove the external sdcard and put the file in there. Put the memory card back to the phone and follow the above instruction. You will be fine.

The thing that is probably going on is that bits of data are left over. We need to clean.

Process A is this link. And we should still do process B but, this is the deep clean

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

Process B.

-Install philz. Some people have luck with TWRP , i didn't. I don't think TWRP works with 4.3

-"format " select data, cashe, sdcard. Etc but Not sdcard1 (cuz that is your external)

-Reboot recovery

-Wipe cashe, wipe dalvidec

-wipe for new rom

-wipe factory reset.

Don't restore anything old that isn't 4.3... Or just flash a new 4.3

If you want to try process B first only , it may be all you need. But if it doesn't work, do all of it.

Jlmancuso is your goto if that doesn't work. The samsung screen does take a few minutes, be patient.

I hope this helps.

That is a very good instruction once the simple way fail (use Philz to wipe everything in your description and flash new rom). I have two note 2. First one is fine with the simple way.

The problem is just like all phone things get updated. In this case it is the recovery, updater binary, and updater script. Thing is older roms needed an updated script and binary to install. Well no one is going to go back and update all the zips so then you must stick with the older recoveries.

I tried searching through many key words in this thread & forum to see if anyone was having the "Wake Lock" "Deep Sleep" issue where you can't turn your screen on unless you do a battery pull issue but really had no luck at solving my issue. Recently ( about 2 weeks now ) I have been having this issue off and on. I don't recall moving any settings anywhere that I know of. I am also aware of the issues with the Exynos 4 and wake lock but I don't believe it would prevent me from turning my screen on.

I do swap batteries, ( two main ones right now ), but I charge them as intended on my Samsung charger and they last. They are brand new.

Anyone else have this issue? Anyone fix their issue? Just curious.
