Hello so i tried installing TWRP Recovery Mode via odin with the PDA option after that i triped vol+ back button power button to get in recovery mode and i got stuck in the samsung logo at the top left corner there was a small tiny red exclamation point i removed the battery because it was a boot logo it didn't take me to recovery mode so there was no option and the phone worked fine i don't know much about TWRP Recovery Mode and i thought maybe the buttons ware not vol+ back and power button so i install Rom Manager and i used the boot in recovery mode still had that boot logo with the exclamation point i removed the battery again and i pressed the power button to boot up the phone and it wouldn't get pass the boot logo again with the exclamation point then i downloaded the stock rom for core 2 duos sg355h even tho mine was a little bit different mine was core 2 without duos and it was g355hn but i didn't have boot loader and other stuff for flashing the stock rom because the phone was released 2 months ago and nobody even knows it so i couldn't flash the stock rom because i only had the ROM and not bootloader so when i selected the rop as PDA on odin it said it failed im 90% sure its because i don't have enough tools to flash it:I don't have BOOTLOADER,,PHONE,CSC in odin can anyone provide me with that stuff or on how to bypass the boot logo with the exclamation point i hope i didn't replace my system with a 10mb recovery zip file if that is possible
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citBabY:
Uhmm... Well, I guess you're talking about a whole other phone while this is SM-G7102 Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 forum! So the answers I'll give you might not be 100% correct.

Back to topic... I guess that having the exclamation mark screen means the download (bootloader) mode... Which means that you soft bricked your Android firmware or just your recovery (it is up to your experience with your phone). So if you had a nandroid backup this would be better... Lest you had not, then I guess you'll have to look for correct files and tools to modify your phone as you want, because installing a PDA or a zip file then getting the download mode screen (and maybe a "could not do normal boot" in red?) means you installed something that isn't compatible with you hardware/software and might not work or cause bootloops or even worse... [HARD] Brick your phone!

Sorry for the vague answer but I guess it's suitable for a vague question ?

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaseemAlkurdi:
I'd recommend that you do one of two:

1. If you are already on rooted KitKat, delete ALL system APKs related to OTAs (list available on demand).

2. If not, download it from SamMobile, flash manually using Odin, and do #1 above.

Generally, they won't upgrade you from 4.3 to KNOXed 4.4.2 directly, but don't rely on that.

Try Indian NH6 from SamMobile. The most stable out there.

BTW, 4.4.2 has horrible 3D gaming, experienced mostly in NG4 through NH3. NH4 rectifies it.

I have an extra Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 [SM-G7106] that I want to install a custom ROM on.

Hi All,

I recently updated from 4.3 to 4.4.2 OTA and noticed that games became laggy and there is a frame drop every 20-30 seconds (Asphalt 8).

After the update I cleaned cache partition but haven't done factory reset yet.

Is there any way to improve game FPS as on JB 4.3 without factory reset (not rooted)?

More over is it even possible to improve it at all since I read in the comments, that there is something wrong in 4.4.2 regarding 3D gaming?

Hope that we will be able to play games smoothly on KK as well as on JB! :)

Dear [MENTION=1215405]J0hny[/MENTION],

You haven't mentioned what Android version are you currently on.

For 4.3, have you tried forcing hardware rendering from Developer Options?

Same for 4.4.2, but I'd recommend downgrading to 4.3.

There are some specialized apps for tweaking your ROM (i.e. Pimp my ROM) that may help.

The GPU is horrible here on the Grand 2.

You'll have to wait and get yourself a custom AOSP-based ROM.
