How did you install this..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sp000n:
I was swapping between a pair of Nandroid backups trying to migrate my SMS, call history and what not from one to the other. I had successfully restored to each of these two images no fewer than twice each.

Moving the last time from CleanROM, where I had backed up XML files to my Dropbox account, I was reflashing to SophisticatedROM again. After the Verizon load screen, the phone blanked out. Even the power LED went dark. Moreover, the machine would not respond to pressing the power button. REMOVING THE BATTERY and pressing the power button allowed the machine to start booting again. However, each time it reached the boot screen, it would dump to black again.

Furthermore, I could not PWR+Home+Volume back to Recovery. I could only get to the Android downloader. So, from there, I executed a complete reset with Odin per these instructions. The flash completed successfully and, after reboot, a different boot screen came on. However, as soon as the boot screen was complete, it dumped to black again!

The only action I can get is to the Android download screen after removing my battery, replacing it, and pressing PWR+Home+Volume.

A final clue is that the battery is at least 88% and this happens both on and off power.

I'm stymied. Where do I go from here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sp000n:
Oh... and my recovery was Team Win Recovery that came with my first unlocking experience. I unlocked the phone months ago with a java program I can't recall the name of and have used several ROMs since.

These may be unnecessary details but I'm really reaching here. I'm in trouble if this phone doesn't come back up shortly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sp000n:
So I've added one more step to my attempts. I reloaded sch-i605-16gb.pit and root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5 via Odin 3.07. This time, however, I added the Nand erase all checkbox. I'm feeling my way through the dark here.

Odin gave me a green PASS! after 08:11.

The only change in the earlier behavior, however, is now the phone simply freezes at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen without even proceeding to another. Once again, Power+Home+VolumeDown then VolumeUp takes me to the Android downloader screen which communicates with Odin. Power+Home+VolumeUp doesn't take me to a Recovery, it takes me to freeze at the same Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.

:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mremghz:
So...

So you may have made a mistake when you check nand erase all, I have never done that because I read never do it! However, being that you have... Did it work when you try to flash 4.1.2 stock unrooted? If not try flashing it with the pit file and placing the .tar file in pda and without nand erase all. I am interested to see if this works if you have not tried it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sp000n:
Yeah, thanks for the reply. That root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5 file that I mentioned is a stock file and I successfully flashed it several times before trying the Nand erase. Those were the instructions linked in my original post.

I've also tried flashing it all again AFTER using the Nand erase but it still just sits at the Samsung screen. It allows the Android boot screen without any troubles, however.

I need to figure out how to get a bootloader in there from the download screen since I can't get into a stock image and use CASUAL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sp000n:
Well, I gave myself an idea there as I recalled seeing exactly that... Philz recovery could install via Odin!

After the flash, my phone reboots and stocks again at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen which leaves Odin hanging a bit at RESET. I let it sit for a couple minutes in case it was working on something, maybe SETI@Home. Suddenly, Odin gives me a green PASS.

The phone's still at the same screen so I pop the battery and reboot. No change. The download screen is the only item available to me.

Odin output:

I'm drowning here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sp000n:
Big, salty tears.

Well, to the tune of more than 21 hours of continuous reading and trouble-shooting, I've found the solution to a problem that I can only guess at. root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5 is inadequate for flashing back from this type of lockout. Follow the directions in paragraph 1b here but do NOT use that file. Instead, use the Official VRALJB 4.1.1 file.

Pure conjecture, but I believe that the root66 file does not adequately handle the other changes that come with newer ROMs. Specifically, I suspect that firmware updates such as the MJ9 are not properly undone but root66 but are by the VRALJB.

I'll spread the word. Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] simmons80:
I don't think it hurt anything to go back. At least my phone don't mind it. I don't know what you did but have you tried starting over? Reroot, unlock the bootloader. I'm running the newest firmware and flashed back to 4.1.1 with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boomer539:
Literally the exact same troubleshooting process!

I'm so happy i found this post! I actually tried flashing a new rom late last night and got stuck in a loop (where I could still get into recovery) and I just reflashed my backup. WiFi wasn't working so i rebooted into recovery again and it got stuck at the TWRP logo. so i did a battery pull and tried rebooting normally to find out that i had the exact same symptoms as you (verizon animation and then dark, no response to buttons or anything.) I again, went through the exact same process as you realizing all I could do was download mode and flashed the root66 link via, thinking the description sounded like my slice of pie. I also tried flashing a new bootloader in odin (without success) and attempted casual since this rom is basically stock (per adams requirements.) Unfortunately, I've come to the same conclusion as you and I shall be going completely stock after this post so i can reroot and unlock that darned bootloader via casual.

I thought this was pretty exciting that i had literally the exact same experience as you within a matter of hours on the exact same device and was just about to post it when i saw this so i had to say something.

P.S. I hope you had a backup because i'm definitely restoring mine once i get twrp back on my phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sp000n:
Thanks, boomer. Did Casual work for you that second time? After flashing back to stock as described, I ran Casual. It hung for a couple of hours (no I didn't get the log posted) and I didn't know what to do. I unplugged and had a well and truly bricked Note 2 from there on.

Just received my (refurbished) replacement in the mail which is on 4.1.2 but VRAMC3 instead of VRALJB. Starting from scratch but think I'll give 4.3 a breather!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boomer539:
tried and gave up for now

I actually tried it late one night after work without success. if i can recall the steps, i just booted my phone into download mode and tried reflashing the vramc3 firmware in the pda section of Odin. i couldn't get Odin to succeed so i eventually just gave up until this coming weekend. would you mind sharing your steps that bricked your phone so i don't repeat that process?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
hello everyone (im new to posting in the forums but had a rooted/unlocked verizon note 2)

so ive been following threads about bricking and unbricking. i dont know why i did it but i flashed the stock 4.3. it was successful but now cant get past the samsung logo. its not in a bootloop, just sits there. i can still get into download mode but cannot get into recovery. ive tried to flash all the older stock roms. they turn out successful but still get stuck at the logo. someone suggested installing stock kernel but i think thats only thru recovery mode?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boomer539:
4.3 problems

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as though we've ruined ourselves for the moment when we flashed a 4.3 rom (and flashed the firmware via odin per the dev's instructions). I was using the leaked firmware and skynote for the longest time without problems. Then I saw nebula and decided to try that. I flashed beans' firmware through odin and still had twrp but the rom wouldn't boot. I didn't want to mess around with it too much more so i restored my backup. The only thing I did (probably) incorrectly is when I unchecked the boot and modem option. After reading everyone's posts here about locking the bootloader and bricking their phones, I don't think i'll be attempting anymore "fixes" until the bootloader is unlocked. Unfortunately that means I'm all the way back to 4.1.1.

Thanks Phil, for this great recovery. I now use it in my 2 android devices!

However, in my P880, I think there's a bug regarding to aroma file manager.

It's maybe a resolution problem, aroma only fills half the screen, look at the attached screenshot.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Phil3759:
Sure it looks bad!

However, probably an Aroma issue

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Benjan32:
Could you tell me what I need to edit?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] daniel.mota:
You need to edit the updater-script file inside the zip, and delete all the first lines that start with "getprop".

Make sure you are using the right zip file, and use an editor like notepad++.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Benjan32:
There is no line starting with "getprop" :confused:

Screenhot attached.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] daniel.mota:
Deleting the first lines starting with "getprop" is the solution if you get the status7 error while flashing.

That zip in your screenshot shouldn't make that error.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Benjan32:
But I get the Status 7 error with this zip.. :eek:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] gingerboy92:
if you mean f2fs support = contain mkfs.f2fs tool, i have one, but i didn't modify much except for adding f2fs support into the device tree, other things were compiled entirely from github.com/p880-dev repos, so you will have to do all the formatting through adb or using some kind of updater-script, that, you will need to figure out by yourself.

Actually I posted this in the Q & A already but since i'm frustrated and absolutly don't know what to do anymore i'll post it here again sorry for that..

"So 2 days ago I flashed the Philz Recovery for testing. While I had the recovery on I flashed the latest Nightly of the Slim Kat Rom + Cyodak Kernel also for testing.

Ofc I backed up my files be4 doing so. Today I just recovered my backup, went to recovery again but the Philz recovery was still there. '''kk no prob i thought,

just flash the CWM Touch recovery again'' so I did, rebooted back into recovery mode and what happened? Instead of booting into the cwm recovery, there's

still the philz recovery. While in philz on the bottom left it shows "Philz Touch 6.48.4 and ClockworkMod v6.0.5.0" So no Idea what to do and it gets frustrating tho..

I've tried several ways, even flashing the TWRP as a zip, flashing via flashify or Rom Manager, no matter what I do I always end up in the philz recovery even when it says flash successfull.

So for now I hv no chance of installing any other recovery no matter what I do ._."

Good evening!

I am trying to install an external WIFI antenna on my tablet (BQ Maxwell 2 Plus, rooted, CM10.1). The model of the antenna is TP - Link 722n.

I have downloaded the drivers from backports project and, after compiling them, I have 8 .ko modules:

- ath.ko

- ath9k.ko

- ath9k_common.ko

- ath9k_htc.ko

- ath9k_hw.ko

- cfg80211.ko

- compat.ko

- mac80211.ko

When I try to insmod the cfg80211.ko module, an error occurs. The dmesg output is:

cfg80211: exports duplicate symbol __ieee80211_get_channel (owned by kernel)

Anyone knows a way to solve the problem?

Thanks!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarlos001:
Finally I made it!

The problem was that the kernel included both cfg80211 and mac80211 drivers, so what I needed to do was to compile it without them.

After that, I flashed it in the device and insmod the drivers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gdawson6:
Hi, hoping someone can help me. I bought a t889, had a non-working power button. I figured it would be an easy fix as I know how to repair phones and the power button was separate from the mainboard so it could be easily replaced.

This phone showed NO signs of water damage, and was working fine besides no power button. I sent the phone to samsung for warranty service and they claimed there was water damage to the PBA (printed board assembly). There was no indicator that I can see that was tripped, nor any signs of corrosion on the pba. I replaced the power flex cable and it still didn't work. I'm thinking samsung claimed water damage so they didn't have to replace my logic board as it wasn't a simple fix, because I really don't see any signs of water damage.

Anyway, not to the tricky part. I flashed 4.1.1 to in odin, which I have done on many samsung phones, and am stuck in the bootloop. Normally I would get into recovery and clear cache/factory reset and that would fix the boot loop, but I can't without a power button. Is there any settings in odin that I can adjust so I won't get stuck in a bootloop after installing, or any firmware that would prevent getting stuck in a bootloop? Thanks!
