How about the android version ?

You can verify it by going to Settings -> About Device -> Android version.

If your phone is on 4.1.2 then you can upgrade to 4.3.

Also, let us know if wifi stopped working right after rooting and how did you root it ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Sorry android is 4.1.2

Wifi hasn't worked since I got the phone to New Zealand. I rooted it using saferoot in the hope it would fix wifi. It is a USA phone and I am now in NZ.

Everything else is perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
You can try flashing the T889UVBMD1 Kernel and see if it fixes the issue, I checked development forum and the link for this kernel is not working.

You have few options here:

a) If you want to stay on 4.1.2 you can flash Mr Robinsons root 66 rom from here

or

b) If you wish to update you can flash this 4.3 stock ROM.

In either case you wont loose any data.

To flash you will have to:

1) Download the file and then extract it. The extracted file will have a tar.md5 extension.

2) Boot your phone in-to download mode by i) turn off phone ii) hold volume down + home then press power iii) on prompt press volume up.

3) Start Odin on your pc(windows) with admin rights, (right click and run as admin).

4) Now connect your phone to PC, on ODIN if you see a message that phone is connected.(ID:COM tab on left will turn blue)

5) Click PDA tab and browse the extracted file, it will take couple of minute to verify md5 and then once it's done

6) Auto reboot and F.Reset time options are checked by default, leave them as it is and make sure no other options are selected/checked on ODIN.

7) Click Start

8) Let ODIN do it's job, phone will reboot automatically.

Done.

Thank you so much. One question do I download the rom to my phone or my PC in the instructions below?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
So I upgraded to 4.3 using the rom. I still have no wifi. Exactly the same as before. What els can I try?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
What error message do you get when you tap on WiFi icon ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
The icon goes a pale green for a few seconds then turns itself off.

If I turn wifi on through settings the button moves to on but stays grey and then flicks itself back to off after about 5 seconds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Yes it is exactly the same as when I first turned it on in NZ. Pale green then back to off. Bluetooth does the same but all other functions are fine. data works and 4G is fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
You can try some of the suggestions listed here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
No change. I guess without knowing if its hardware or software I may have to give up :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Had the same issues before. For me it was a kernel issue. Just flashed a different one and haven't had the problem since.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
I am not very techy can someone suggest a safe kernel to try?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Honestly I would look it up in the thread specifically for your device. Just find a kernel matching all specifications to your device and try it out. Usually pretty easy if you follow the steps provided in the op of the kernel.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

I am also simply assuming it's the kernel. Relating to similar issue I have had. It seems to be at least in my case a conflicting issue between the kernel and rom. I'm having the issue again on my HTC one. Stock kernel is fine. Using a custom kernel everything but the wifi works. Seems to always come back to a kernel to rom conflict.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
I have found the plasma kernel but there are no instructions on how to replace the kernel. Is there a how to guide somewhere please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
This guy pretty much did the perfect example.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

You're not going to get much better then that ^^^. If you still are uncomfortable with a step by step maybe a walk through video. Possibly try YouTube just type it in exactly as you are asking. All kernels through Odin flash the same. As long as the video is for your phone and the file format you're good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
I already did that. That was for a rom. Is a kernel process exactly the same?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Well first off do you know how to make a nandroid? Secondly do you have a custom recovery installed? If I am not mistaken there's a clovkwork mon recovery for the note 2 t889.

Sorry for mistakes. had to switch to pc. App was having connection issues with the server,

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

I can walk you through everything step by step if needed. Just let me know as much as possible about your phones information.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Well first off do you know how to make a nandroid?

NO I don't know what that is

Secondly do you have a custom recovery installed?

No all I have done is rooted my phone using saferoot. Have never been inside a phone before :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Well glad to see you taking interest anyway. Phones are a great something to get into. Everyone has to start somewhere and before you know it you'll be the one helping out XD. Anyways so dont worry about the nandroid just yet, but never over look it. It's the one thing that will stand between you and your device becoming a paper weight. You said that all you have done is root your phone?? You said in an earlier post you flashed a rom right?

Like I said just need to know as much as possible and I'll help you as much as I can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Thank you yes. I rooted using saferoot then I flashed the rom as per the earlier post. That's it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Okay so next step should be getting you a custom recovery. This is a life saver and will replace the need for odin. As your information is scattered let me re check and make sure k?

Samsung SGH-T889 android version 4.3 stock rom and kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Thanks so much for your help. Goo manager didnt work but ODIN did so both steps are completed!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
So you have twrp recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Forgive my ignorance but I dont know? I installed both apps in your directions. How do i check?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
No you're okay lol. Just reboot your phone. Power off, then back on holding the power button, volume +, and home button all together and you should boot into recovery. Hold them until you see recovery. If you have twrp you should see a blue screen with team win on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
It boots into clockworkmodrecovery with a pic of a black hat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Okay that's good. From there you should make a nandroid. It would be easier for you to find a youtube step by step on backing up and flashing in cwm. Honestly I prefer twrp. It's easier I think.

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

Actually the app must have worked because if you did Odin you shouldn't have clockwork lol

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM ----------

And I'm sorry to say that kernel won't work on your rom. So don't try and flash it. If it's the same one I found, it's for an aosp room and I'm assuming you're still using touchwhiz???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Back up completed :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Before anything remember. It's the most important thing ever. Always the unskippable 1st step with anything. Always make or have a nandroid lol. As for the kernel you found I do not believe it will work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
OK so I need a touchwhiz kernel? Most of the kernels said they were not AOSP so that means they are touchwhiz?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
I think I may have been looking at a different kernel then, but yes as long as it isn't an aosp you're good. Your rom is stock so unless you want a custom rom no aosp. There are a good few roms that are aosp that will let you keep touchwhiz, but are a lot faster and some even have features built in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
OK so saberkernel is ok?

HOw do I install.flash it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Should work and if not you have nandroid XD. You need to download it and put it in your phones download folder on your phone never keep your SD card in. We'll I don't as a safety thing. Boot into recovery and go to wipe options and find dalvik cache and cache. Wipe them once done go back. Find the install option. Select it then direct it to the kernel zip and install. Once done it either should reboot automatically or give you the option to reboot. Once the phones back up DO NOT TOUCH IT. just let it sit for 2-3 minutes. After that pick it up and make sure everything seems to function and do a normal reboot.

IMPORTANT - do not wipe data if your backup is on your phones storage pull you SD card if it's on there. It will delete it. If the kernel doesn't work you will be in a tight spot without a nandroid lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
It can;t find the kernel zip. I copied it to the download folder then I downloaded it via the phone. 2 copies in download folder but when I tell it to unzip the only option is from sdcard and the only files on there are cwm recovery and OBB.

What am I doing wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Finally got it to work. Phone wont boot at all. REstored from back up and now I get literally hundreds of "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

Just keeps popping up making phone unusable :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Just find and install the latest gapps zip. It will overwrite any missing or corrupt processes. Kinda weird it did that though since you restored it. See if that works and if so make a new backup. Then try another kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
So none of my apps work including play store. goo manager is the only thing working. How do I install gapps? CAN goo manager or Odin help me do that?

And is gapps zip gapps manager?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Yeah you should be able to just use goo manager. I'm sorry this happened. Must have been a bad back up or the kernel wasn't compatible or something. Idk never heard of an issue with circumstances like yours. If all else fails flash a custom rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Hey man not your fault. good way to learn about my phone :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
if that doesn't work I would either recluse the original Ron from post #9 or flat a custom. You can have a tw or an aosp rom. They will have new kernels. Plus if you choose aosp you have a lot more options for customization, performance, and tweaks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
I redid the 4.3 rom and now am going again. How do i know if I am tw or aosp? So I can find the right kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LOCKxNXLOAD:
Lol just look up screen shots of tw and aosp. It's easy to spot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:
Thanks guys for all your help. I tried everything and no change so assume must be a hardware problem. TIme to buy a new phone :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LanceDiamond:
The description of this problem sounds exactly like what I was having and what is mentioned in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2186888

I was seeing that WIFI like halfway on thing too - never could just get it to show as off in the notification/quick settings pulldown. I don't think it is related to anything to do with 4.3 vs non-4.3 bootloader - at least in my case I haven't yet gone to anything beyond 4.1.2. I'm actually about to post a question in this forum about that which is why I was here and saw this. I just resolved my lack of WIFI problem earlier today by taking the phone apart and putting it back together...twice. No clue why that fixed it but it did for now. You might try removing the battery cover and just loosening or removing the screws - sounds goofy but that has fixed it for others. It's a very flaky & intermittent problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
I haven't noticed any one suggest doing a Titanium Backup, pulling a Nandroid, full wipe (after saving both backups off device), then Odin flashing the MrRobinson root 66 4.3 rom.

The full wipe (from recovery) will give the device the best chance of success by dumping any corrupt data that may be interfering then dropping a clean install into the device. If that doesn't work perhaps an emergency restore via Kies.

Once you can get wifi back then install your apps and restore minimal data via Titanium.

Also, do other devices connect to this wifi node? Have you tried connecting to other wifi nodes?

I would write off that phone yet...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pooomba:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Klmnnoooooo:
So my phone started restarting randomly. It will only show the Samsung logo turn off and do the same thing again. Its not rooted and I am pretty sure that its not from something I installed recently (Everything was from the play store and no immediate problems after any of them). When I did the hold volume up,down and power it would only keep on restarting still. But when I just hold volume down it comes to something else that asks if I want to install a new rom. So I was wondering what I should do. Install a new ROM and then revert back ? or will that not work? Also I have a extra I717 with a broken screen I could swap the insides and see if that would help. Also I don't know much about rooting and stuffs. Lemme know what I should do guys! :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Could be stuck power button. I know, I know, " but its clicking just fine". That doesnt mean anything. Flick the back of your phone a few times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Klmnnoooooo:
Thats not it

Yeah I read that It might be the problem but Its still happening with the case removed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
Take out the battery. Insert the battery without touching anything else. Does it just power on itself or does it stay off? If it does turn on, you might have a stuck power button. Let us know what happens
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Klmnnoooooo:
did that too :/

I did that too. It would turn off and on again but only show the Samsung logo then restart again. Also I have the case removed so It cant be the power button being stuck and I have tried the battery thing still nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
Whatcha mean? It would turn on by itself once the battery is inserted or you would have to press the power button. Once the battery is out and then inserted back in, it is

not

supposed to be powered on by itstelf. If it does turn on by itself, then the power button is most likely pressed in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tal_Star:
I have a I717 doing the same thing. (Eg. device boots and seems to function for a about 2 minutes locks up and reboots. )

As the device was stock when it started having this issue I figured it might be an OS issue Factory reset to it would leave the device booting to optimize applications then reboot. Checked power button checked it was clean.

Also staied on when in recovery without issue.

As I figured this was an OS issue I installed CWM

Downloaded and installed SlimBeam

Device booted and completed instlation and operated for about 2 minutes and rebooted.

Device will does not have any issues with in CWM or Odin. I

I read alsowhere that the internal SD-Card filesystem might have become corrupted and need to be reformated however I have yet to find instruction or confirmantion.

Anyone have some ideas?

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
to Tal Star.

1. When you were in CWM and were about to flash, did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache then do the flash? Or just flash?

2. So either os it would do the same? Stay on for about two minutes, then reboot? Would it reboot back into the os and do the same?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tal_Star:
Full Wipes every time tried a few diffirent roms no diffirnace.Stock, SlimBean & a couple CM ports.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
So right now you can boot up into the os and it will turn off in 2 minutes? or just given enough time? Will it boot into the os each time? I dont think ill have an answer for it, but i bet someone that does will want to know the same things to possibly narrow it down
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tal_Star:
Naw it starts optimzing the Applications and lasts a few minutes reboots locks up and starts again. SlimBean completes the process and makes it all the way to the launcher but after a same amount of time it reboots. back to the launcher. (Slim bean has a resonable number less Apps and that's why it completes or is my best guess)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
I really wouldnt know about that. Hopefully someone will come by and help you out. I wonder being on the latest recovery would help if youre not already and then doing it all over? Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Could be a corrupt download.

Again, I always flash rom 2 times. You can get different reactions from 2 seperate flashes. 2 time seems to get a more solid installation.

Wait your 10 and reboot.

Still think its a power button issue. It can act normal but still be the problem. Hows you battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daversv09:
HAAAAA I hope some one finds this trouble... having the same issue Here... Does your phone starts up correctly when sim card removed? Mine does when sim card removed and pluged into coputer or wall plug.... Did the same steps you did with no effect either... could it be a power management problem ??? :silly: This is getting me nuts...:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tal_Star:
I dobut it's a download. I use CWM to flash from an external SD card. However I did try reflashing like you suggest with no change. The battery is fine as far as I can tell, like I said it will stay online in recovery on battery for what seems like forever.

Nope I am working on the one I have with the SIM Card out & SD card out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Klmnnoooooo:
happens

So what I done so far is taken out the sim and sd card. Took out the battery put it back in and when I power to turn it on It vibrates (like it normaly would when it starts) then shows Samsung logo turns off and loops. I tried doing the hold volume up down power thing and it does not work. But what does work is when I hold volume down it takes me to a custom OS thing. I don't know what that is but I cant get there. So maybe put a custom OS in and then revert it back?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Klmnnoooooo:
So I used Odin and put 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Official Firmware but its still doing what it was doing before.Used 3.07 and it said it passed fine. Should I try a different rom or something else? Also the first time it starts up after installing the rom it goes past the logo to the ATT ball animation logo freeze there and turns of then when I turn it on from there it will loop at the samsung logo again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
You can try the firmware upgrade and initialization feature in kies. It will return your device to the original factory firmware, software, and settings. If it still loops after that you have hardware issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Klmnnoooooo:
Ok so I guess im making progress now. After I put the stock rom (Different one from befor) It DIDNT BOOT LOOP well it did but only looped 3 times then stoped. Also there are 2 Samsung logos. the frist one was just normal logo ( same one I was having befor ) then the screen turns off and shows the same logo but this time its a little bigger its white with a blue glow! ( Made it further this time but still crashes afterwards) BUT now I can actualy get into the Manual mode. I did a wipe data/factory reset in that mode which didnt help i wiped the cache too. Still didnt help.

Now in manual mode my computer does recognize that something is connected to it now but it tries to configure it and keeps on failing. And so samsun kies cant connect to it either.

But from where I started at its a improvement
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave_N:
My Note is doing the same thing too now, but I know the reason why. I was trying to install clockworkmodrecovery so I would be able to upgrade to jellybean and I think I flashed a kernel that was meant for rooted phones (pretty dumb of me I guess). So now the phone is stuck and I'm going to try to install the original jellybean 4.1.2 for rogers and hopefully that will fix it.

As long as you can get into Odin download mode, your phone can be fixed. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Crankyfuzz:
I had this bootloop problem that persisted thru every rom I tried with the i717 I couldnt figure it out I could get into download mode and let it sit for hours no issues hmmm well it was my power button I finally realized after I got into the os and was messing around and I would wake screen and then it would go into reboot. I know it seems like a stupid solution and my case was off and my power button felt fine it was not. I replaced power button never had a reboot issue since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Klmnnoooooo:
FIXED

Well after going home and taking the old phone and switching out every part that was possible It just ended up being a bad battery. Everything was fine but for some reason the battery messed everything up. Now my phone is stock but thinks its latest version so gotta work on that. but its fixed at last.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp_Ark:
Hi everyone, recently i bought from a friend a n4 with replaced front screen after cracked digitizer. The proximity sensor was not working causing the screen to stay black during making/receiving a call. I googled it and found out it is a pretty common issue after screen replacement and the only workaround was to put some very thin clear tape or a small piece from a screen protector, between the front glass and the proximity sensor. I tried that for a fair amount of time but with no luck. So i tried to put the small rubber piece that covers the light and proximity sensor the opposite way. Now the bigger hole of this rubber piece is on the small sensor (proximity) and the small hole is on the big sensor (light). It worked right away and still works great after a month, The light sensor seems to work fine as well. Confirmed working from another guy as well. So i hope this helps whoever facing same problem after screen replacement. :good:
