Going back to MC2 problems?

I am currently using this stock ne2 rom with the ne2 modem and want to go back to mc2 stock with flash recount. It failed writing the rom after i formated using philz_touch_6.07.9-l900.tar. Then i used [RESTORE][5-12-13]Back to UNROOTED Stock with Auto Flash Count Reset and it would fail every time. I want to go back to stock and just keep it stock and take the OTA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
Installed the 2.3 beta, everything was going smoothly and I was settling in to the ROM. I decided to calibrate my battery because everything seemed good enough to use. After my battery was dead I plugged in my phone after walked away for a few hours.

When I came back my phone's screen was on and unresponsive with the battery icon showing 0% (using circlemod). I unplugged it, took out the battery, and put it all back together. I hadn't turned the phone on after I plugged it in initially, but I didn't think too much of it. After putting the battery back in again and plugging the phone in, it came on again, odd. I let it boot and then turned it off as soon as it was on. It turned off, and then turned itself back on. This time I let it boot but decided to leave it on, and it rebooted itself after ~15 seconds. It did this 3 times before I removed the charger and battery and let the phone sit for a few minutes.

Keep in mind this whole time the battery indicator was showing 0%. Just to be sure, I put in the battery and tried to turn it on without the charger but the screen wouldn't even blink. I plugged the phone back in and... it turned itself back on, stuck in the loop. I tried to get to recovery a few times and finally made it though without it freezing or fully rebooting. I used a backup of an MK4 ROM and everything is fine again.

In short, something is really wrong with this ROM and/or the 2.3 beta.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Did you wipe your internal SD? Wipe everything and then do it again by choosing install new rom. then you can flash the back to unrooted stock.

I'm having a hard time downloading this ROM. Everything I download the rom (using different mirrors time), when it's about to finish, I get a network error message. I tried downloading in Chrome, in Firefox, and in DownloadThemAll and in the latter, I got a 416 error when the download ~95% to completion. Can somebody put a mirror up that is not AndroidFileHost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Leoisright:
Nothing to see here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I am sorry you are having problems. If you take the time to read through this thread you would have known that the phone will always boot if you plug in the charger. It is a known problem.

[MOD EDIT: Toned down] Yes it is an issue and it will get fixed once the official tar is released. Again all this information is here in this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blautens:
In addition to what jlmancuso has to say, and clearly he's the authority here - in my more limited experience (literally - this happened to me Monday night, minus the lock up), although the phone locking up is unfortunate (but it happens to everyone on every ROM at some point) when the phone battery charge gets down to zero (or something close to it), it powers down. But since you're obviously plugged in and trying to charge it at that point, the phone powers up (an issue that jlmancuso documented), but still, you haven't really charged it enough, so it powers down.

I watched it cycle through this for about 10 or 15 minutes Monday night when I had no choice but to drain the phone to nothing while traveling. But I felt that as soon as it finally got a little bit of a charge it would stay up and continue to stay up and get charged, and indeed, it did just that.

Completely draining batteries can suck (in different ways for different devices - this is not the only zero charge issue I faced this month), but it's usually just a minor inconvenience. I think it was highly probable that if you left your phone on a good charger long enough and it managed to squeeze a little charging time in between the cycles, the rebooting cycle would stop just as mine did, and you wouldn't have had to flash it to another ROM.

I could be wrong, but it sounds eerily similar to my experience.

Extreme dangerous

AGAIN - EXTREME DANGEROUS - UNCHART TERITORY

EXTREME DANGEROUS - STAY AWAY IF YOU DON'T KNOW - YOU CAN HURT YOURSELF BAD BAD..

now that said, I just flashed a kernel that successfully flash, boot, and "seems" to work. I still playing with it, but it has been running on my phone for last 30 min :) :)

It is a kernel for Note 3 from Freeza. I flashed the CALM mode (so I don't have to deal with issue with OC/UV yet as Note2 having different CPU than Note3.)

For DARING souls or Devs, you can try it. :)

AGAIN, STAY AWAY FROM THIS IF YOU DON'T KNOW.

Works:

a. 4G

b. Messaging, Phone

c. App running

OC/UV:

Stock as Note3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
First off it is never a good idea to flash a kernel not designed for your specific device. It could brick or damage your device. So if you do anything like this make sure that you are prepared for the worst.

That being said I am glad it worked for you. Some kernels can sometimes run on other devices without problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
Yes sir. definitely not a good idea especially the CPU is different.

just bored waiting for kernel drop. :)

See we've had some recent drama in the thread. I've cleaned it up but let's not make that a repeat, okay?

Also, do not link kernels from other devices in this thread.

Especially when it comes to the N2, even using a GSM kernel will cause bad news.

It's not like Qualcomm architecture at all so don't try it. If you did and you didn't end up with a paperweight, count your lucky stars now.

On side news I am trying to get ahold of the tarball. If anyone hasn't tried, you could try the force downgrade to an earlier version and see if it pops up on Kies. Just a though.

Not sure what happened to post 1 and 2 but it was edited by JL shortly after the mods cleansing and post. It was not even a big deal and JL handled it just fine. I'm not sure as to why the mod felt the need to get involved.

While awaiting JL's response, I will assume he has removed all links to the rom until he has his hands on the tar.

For now everything is gone. Once the this is a full working rom everything will be removed. There will be a new thread for the roms once they are released. If you have the rom enjoy and for those who dont sorry but you will just have to wait.

Having said that, I've been involved with xda and many threads since the og evo and hp touchpad. Many of the names here are very familiar.

Jlmancuso - you rock. Can't wait to see your stuff when tar comes out. Peace

I have to agree with you slam. IMHO this is the best ROM I have personally tested. Minimal problems, very clean and smooth. I just got the N2 about 45 days ago,

, on a deal that Sprint has with my job and I have thoroughly enjoyed it every since I first flashed "Stock NE2 [ROOTED][DEKNOXED] - WORKING_stock-pull" (glad I save my roms). My wife got the S5 and now she is hot at me because my N2 does just about everything that her S5 does thanks to Jlmancuso, his contributors and the testers here.

For now this is my DD and I will be here waiting for the next release.

Good work JL :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Not offended by anything you or garwynn posted. For now i feel it is time to put a hold on this.

Hate to tell you but she will get madder once the next release is dropped. Everything will work (except the stuff we dont have hardware for). I have gotten the last of the major s5 apps working. Ultra power saver requires framework changes and I have everything i need to get ART enabled. I cant wait to get the tar so i can get the rom to chaz since he has got a great theme in the works for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
LOL well I'm here for the long haul and so are a lot of us. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blautens:
FWIW, I've been using S5-FEAT-Beta-1 for about 5 days now and it works great - you'd never think it was a beta. And I'm not a casual user - I was traveling, and pounded on that thing constantly, nav, maps, camera and scanning, for email (Nine works awesome), voice (Bluetooth works great), tethering, and Office documents. I use it so much I have to practically tape the Anker Astro 9000 mah charger/battery to it.

Also - I tried to donate, but the donate button takes me to a PayPal page which says "We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to resolve the problem."

Thanks for all the hard work - great ROM.

OK so this is just a little of my personal input. Take it for what it's worth. I love, x10, this ROM. I look forward and will install the next update ASAP. My only worry is that the theme subject. Just my opinion but sometimes great ROMS can go bad with to much themeing. Just a personal request would be to have a stock and or themed version of the next update. I love the stock S5 look because I can show I off to my friends who currently have the real deal. :cool::thumbup:

I was also able to restore titanium backup apps and data without a fight. That's already a good thing. When I would try and restore apps on 4.3 most of them would fc.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Androidaholic:
Firmware and Knox !

You can flash the MC2 firmware in Odin or find the complete stock rom and use super user app to disable knox that is what I did on my Note 3 with KitKat.. You can also use titanium backup and uninstall all the knox software/apps or just freeze them your choice. That is the only way to use any firmware past MC2 on this device and not have knox I believe. I have seen a zip before for one of my phones to disable Knox but I can not remember which device it was for between my wife and I she has the Note 2 and I have the S3 and the Note 3. Honestly knox does not seem like that big of a deal to me it is still on my S3 and does not bother besides bugging me to update security polices.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhint15:
OMG people. Wifi patch has always been through Odin from a PC. Please do what they say!!!

FYI I believe (It's been forever since I've used it) you have to extract it first to get the .tar and then flash that with the PDA option on Odin (and of course do NOT click repartition box)

Also 2 interesting observations so far.

1) Samsung/Sprint really have this bloated I have 8.8MB remaining on the ROM partition (obviously it barely fits)

2) After flashing philz said I wasn't rooted but I told it NO do not root and of course everything works perfect (I'm guessing hitting YES would have worked too but haven't tried)
