[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
I'm not completely sure if this will work, but i had the same problem at some point. I also hv a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and this happened to me awhile back. I was never able to find a solution online for it so I just common sensed my way through it. My phone was having a bunch of glitches.....I don't even know how to explain them.

Root was on and off just like it is for u.

TWRP was acting really weird: when ever i would flash a new rom or wiped data or system, nothing would happen; its as if TWRP was just telling me everything was working, when nothing was working at all!

What I ended up doing was reverting to the stock image. I used Odin to flash the stock image. then i flashed a custom recovery, then i rooted my device. This time there were no problems. If you are gonna try this just make sure to back up all important data. And once again, im not sure if this will work but try it out and lemme know!:good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickf123654:
I think I may have figured out what is happening here.... I think the SuperSU app and SU binary are getting messed up when the SU app updates from the market. This would explain why it will sometimes break over night.

I tried flashing SU in recovery a bunch of times and it doesn't restore root but if I re-flash my ROM, I usually get root back. I think the difference is that all the SU components are getting reset to default when I re-flash the ROM but when I flash SU, it is just applying it on top of the existing root/su.

I was checking some settings and I found a work around that seems to restore root without having to re-flash my ROM....

Settings > More > Application Manager > ALL > SuperSU > Uninstall updates

Then, I reboot the phone and root is restored when it comes back up.

I have tested this by updating and uninstalling the updates a few times and I lost root every time I updated and it came back every time I uninstalled the updates and rebooted.

I disabled auto update in the market for SuperSU, so hopefully this issue stops happening. If not, at least I have an easy fix.

Thanks to all for the suggestions & help!

Let me know if this fix helps anyone else!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
I just built a rom and Im was having issues with SuperSu staying. I normally dont have any issues flashing supersu and having it work but for some reason the only way it worked was to update the app, to 2.01, from the PlayStore and then letting it install the SU Binary by rebooting into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickf123654:
I think this issue has to do with how the SU updates are applied. It is the only thing I can think of that makes sense. I would have root and then lose it (maybe SU app updated to cause this) then after a while root would come back all by itself (maybe app updated again & fixed/restored access).

This has been going on for about as long as I can remember since I upgraded my Note 2 to 4.3. I'm not sure how often the SU app was updated or if the updates were around the same time root was lost or restored. I don't really have a way to check.

So far, I have not lost root again since uninstalling updates and disabling auto update in the market for SuperSU.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunglint:
Happens on Omnirom too

Running Omnirom, updating at least weekly, this happened most recently last week. I'm using PhilzTouch and keep SuperSU zip on my SD card so I just reboot into recovery and reinstall when it happens.

Possibly related is a weird power-off behavior. Sometimes when I shut down the phone while it's on charge it will shutdown but when it shifts over to the battery charging screen it locks at a grey screen, and will stay like that with the screen on even after it's unplugged, draining the battery and requiring a battery pull.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickf123654:
So, I have been busy lately and haven't updated this thread in a while but the issue has still been happening where I lose root. I can sometimes restore root by rolling back the updates but other times the su app is completely missing.

I finally had some time to back everthing up and wipe the device. I flashed the stock injected root66 with odin, installed the latest TWRP recovery and then flashed jedi master x2. It was going great for a day and then I rebooted the phone and when it came back on I was missing the su binary. I rolled back the su app updates and after I rebooted, the su app was completely missing.

Does anyone have an idea what could cause this to happen?

I think i'll try flashing root66 and use it for a few days and see if my root sticks. Are there any suggestions for other stable custom roms? I would like to test a couple out and see if it happens across roms.

Thanks!

i am planning to buy a new xperia SP but the fact that sony stopped manufacturing the device made me stop right there. it is of the same price as the xperia C but it has worse specs except for the quadcore processor. i am basically a gamer guy and i dont like the samsung's shi*ty touchwiz UI. i am completely comfortable with rooting and development but not rich enough o get a high end device every year. every help will me appreciated.

thanks in advance

If you only want a phone that runs games perfectly then you can buy this phone.It has a powerful processor and gpu and is capable of running high end games.It also features a large battery so you can get good battery life as well.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
For what price can you buy the xsp?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigkiler5:
what alternative would you suggest?

i am basically a gamer guy. i currently own xperia x10 and with right improvements in the system, i can run modern combat 4 almost flawless(apart from phone's bad multitouch) i am not rich enough to get the xperia z and i don't wanna go for chinese phones either.

since in india 4g launched recently,i assume we will have the non LTE version (C5302). is that gonna be written on the about phone screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Lemon Kush:
Okay, Now I know I am not the only one with this problem. Also, I know I am one of the FEW people who have this problem.

Story:

I bought the Note the other day from someone, they claimed that the note was stuck in a boot loop. I purchased it, Did a factory restore etc. The phone came on and was working perfectly. THEN the battery died, now I understand what she means by stuck in boot loop.

What happens:

Phone turns on

Starts up

Freezes after about 2 minutes

Reboots & Repeats

Now there have been a couple times I can get it to stay on for about 12 hours then it will just freeze and reboot. I have tried factory firmware restore, I have rooted, I have tried custom Roms, I have unrooted, I have done stock rom. The battery is NOT bad, it holds a charge perfectly well, the Power button is NOT stuck. I have no idea what else I can do, I have tried just about everything and looked all over this site for the past 2 days trying to figure out info on this problem, but so few people are having it that it is basically just looked past.

Any help is MUCH appreciated and I will be very grateful if this issue can be resolved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zancro:
Have you tried removing the battery / changing the battery / using a different usb/charging cable/ac-dc adapter? Then clear the cache and dalvik cache and reboot. If you can get it to stay on for 12 hours I doubt that you have a serious problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Not sure about power button on this one. It wouldnt freeze, it would just reboot.

I question software on it. If you can get it running long enough to find out what it is running.

I might question more, is it running OS for the right device or possibly was it a clean flash?

Sounds like its running an older 4.2 JB rom......notorious for random reboots. Could be a rom that just may not work on you phone. Mine could run all except Carbon Rom. Dont know why, just couldnt. No biggie, plenty out there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhoffy22:
What should be done before upgrading to a new, larger SD card? I've currently got a 4GB card and am upgrading to a 32GB Samsung EVO Class 10 micro SD card. I just purged a lot of information on my phone that I don't use anymore and I've managed to free up 8.1GB of internal storage space.

Going forward, I would like to maximize usage of the larger 32GB memory card as much as possible as I've found that having the majority of the internal storage space occupied seems to slow down the phone. I would like to move nearly all apps if possible to the micro SD card.

Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Before upgrading? None at all that I can think of. You might consider formatting the new SD card as ExFAT instead of the default of FAT32.

You can use an app like FolderMount to redirect most folders that by default go to the internal storage to external.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] godofsalt:
Just 2 Q's about that...

I do have 2 Q's

1- Why ExFAT? just wondering...Coming from Ubuntu 14.04 seems that EXT4 seems to be good, also use the FAT32..????

2- would I need to Partition a 64GB Card into 2-32Gb Partitons...OR is just 1 partition w/64Gb ok?...(must add I have ALWAYS have SWAP on the card as well....just never know with larger files and such, wether or not it is actually needed (better safe/then Sorry)

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Totally your preference. Google ExFAT vs FAT32. If you're using Ubuntu or other Linux and not Windows, you probably wouldn't want ExFAT.

No, 1 64gb partition is fine. I never use a swap partition but I've never found I needed one after I stopped using my 384MB first Android phone.

You're welcome, and enjoy!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhoffy22:
So I created a folder on my desktop, CTRL C the entire old SD card, CTRL V to folder created. Inserted new SD card into phone, CTRL V from desktop folder to new card folder on phone after deleting folders that were there.

I'm missing apps and some of their data. Where did I go wrong?

EDIT: Fixed it. Instead of using copy/paste shortcuts, I did a select all + drag/drop from folder to folder and this seems to have preserved everything and no data is missing anymore. I think it had something to do with hidden files not being transferred properly when doing the ctrl c/v.

Thanks all!

Now how can I maximize usage of the SD card? As I understand, Kitkat has changed the landscape for micro SD cards in terms of what you can and can't store on them. A step back it would seem. Ideally, I would like to store as much data as possible on my sd card besides apps that should be kept in memory such as the homescreen/lockscreen launcher.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you use a custom kernel or at least [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION]' permissive version of the stock kernel, you can still put anything you want wherever you want.

Also, FolderMount can redirect internal storage folders to external.

Tanxs

Well i do use Win8.1, only because it came on new laptop. However, shortly after I knew all the specs, I went and added much better Ram, and a large SSD....Now I have my Ubuntu back!!!!!!!!!! and 8.1 is on a much smaller partition. So, because I play with Android, and Ubuntu, and of course windows, I prefer FAT32.....

As to the other... I have now clue if i actually need "SWAP" or not. Have not had the phone long enough to push all the limits. However, I am in love with links 2SD...Now that I am rooted, I put all apps on my 14GB Second Partition (EXT4) and they have improved their work over @ Link2Sd, now you can include the DEX...Phone looks rather M~T with Links2sd... awesome.

Oh the Q @ 64gb card. Am also working on some China clone tablet, and want to bring Kit-Kat to it. It only has 1 SD port! Does have a USB port as well, but don't really want something sticking out of it all the time.

Thanks for the info!

hi!

i own( :D ) a chinesee android device,its a pomp w89,mtk 6589 and i want to root it,how to do it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakloos88:
Try Kingo

If you would like an easy root for your Chinese device, try Kingo Root.

If that does not work, you could try VROOT or Framaroot.

All are easy and 1-click, the last one should be performed on the device itself.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Also, you should enable usb debugging in the developer options on your phone. Tap 'Build Number' 7 times if developer options is not visible on your phone yet.

The case is a small part of the device, the whole thing being a tiny portable bluetooth second screen is still very cool :D I posted here to get more interest in the G2 version... I'd use it even without the G2 variant but you can always cancel your pledge last min if they don't offer a G2 at the end of the campaign so no risk in loosing out...

That has nothing to do with it not being available and your topic name being a lie.

Besides the obvious model number, what are the differences in hardware and firmware between the two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrraya:
They seem identical my cousin has the galaxy note 2 at&t and I have the i605 Verizon gn2 maybe the network receivers are different
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
A lot...Verizon (and Sprint) uses CDMA frequencies and radios and AT&T (and T-Mobile) uses GSM frequencies and radios
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drarkanex:
I understand the obvious here but I currently have the verizon 605 and I'm on at&t so it would seem that it can be on any carrier considering the n2 uses a lot of freqs. I'm talking about actual hardware differences. I might need to do some research on my own with this one. But if anyone else can help with this would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
Verizon model doesn't have what it needs to be on AT&T LTE. I believe the way the memory is partitioned is different as well.

Just out of curiosity, why are you wanting to know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drarkanex:
I am a hardware guy. I'm also considering finding out how they tick and make my own custom rom to maybe figure this out and streamline a rom that will be custom only to the note 2 regardless of carrier. i mean its out there that the note 2 will work on any carrier regardless of model because I'm on my 605 running an att rom on att carrier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
The main differences are the included radios

Verizon: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=3926

AT&T: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=3918

Of course firmware will be very different because of interfacing with the radios
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] devious_z:
^ Thanks for this.

Thinking out loud here, not sure why Samsung wouldn't be able to have one radio that can handle all those different LTE bands. Perhaps this is intentional based on requests from US carriers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
Yes...that sounds like something they would request to try and keep you tied to their carrier or make you buy one of their phones when moving to them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Hmm I am confused here.. doesn't the Verizon note 2 have both GSM and CDMA capabilities, that why is considered a World phone..

I'm pretty certain the main differences is firmare and not hardware. I'll have to check those links Kenny..

I know of people running t mobile on a Verizon note 2 that have everything working perfectly fine and t mobile is GSM. Pop the Sim in, switch mobile networks to GSM, maybe edit apns for lte..but I don't even thunk that is needed once the GSM Sim is in place. This unlocks the add apn feature under access points
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
Yes, look at the specs...it has GSM radio too with some frequencies. And no, you cannot flash AT&T firmware on a Verizon phone and have a perfectly working AT&T phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
No I know that.. I am not saying flashing att firmware would work out of the box, so they say.. I am aware of what it takes to port different firmwares;)

I'm saying using a att or t mobile Sim is possible.. maybe I wondered off the op's topic here..sorry about that

This is possible.. but not without a pretty intense aroma installer..you'll need to separate different csc features, apps, frameworks, permissions, libs, build.props and vender folders. .but yea. Would be a pretty big task and knowledge of all the carriers

Thank you for this tidbit of info. I'm currently trying to figure a way to get my old VZW Note 2 working on Straight Talk for my Dad, who's currently using a 3" Samsung something-or-other P.O.S.

I'll post back with my results (5-10 business days for delivery--yikes!)

P.S. Anyone else out there have a recommendation for a ROM to use for this? I'm going to go with something 4.1.x because I've read that later versions won't work. Jedi X maybe?

Can someone please explain how OTA firmware update and {'About Phone' => 'System updates'} work.

As I understand, {'About Phone' => 'System updates'} requires data connection or WiFi. Does it connect to Motorola website or carrier website?

Does OTA require data connection? Will OTA work if Mobile Data is disabled, but WiFi is enabled?

Will OTA necessarily update to exact same firmware as would {'About Phone' => 'System updates'} ?

Do I have to have an active carrier SIM-card in my Moto G to do OTA?
