My appologies, I think you have misunderstood. My question was not related to unlocking the device. Your instructions were extremely good, and I was successful in unlocking my device. In fact, I have revised your instructions in lieu of grammatical style. I am planning to perform several screen captures to make the guide more useful to others.

There's been alot of misunderstanding regarding my original post. I made a mistake and update the device with the wrong ROM. As a result, ActiveSync no longer works, so I came to this forum seeking additional assistance. I do not offer any dissenting opinions for your article. Your article is extremely useful and your efforts in preparing such article is commendable.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] NeoAlpha1:
I Found The Solution! Thanks to All

The solution was to boot the device into Bootloader mode and then injecting with a new ROM. Unfortunately, the accepted method of entering Bootloader mode (holding the Communication and Voice buttons while reseting the device) did not work with my device. By doing so the device enters the hard-reset mode. A black screen with white letters offering the choice of restoring the device.

Inspired by Kyphur, Dromico, and _Nomad_, I began investigation alternative methods of entering Bootloader mode. I was playing with the device and by accident held down the "Voice Command" button and reseting. Ulreka! I entered the Bootloader mode and the "Rainbow Screen" appears, thus allowing me to inject a new ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] NeoAlpha1:
Thank You All!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] _Nomad_:
Actually... the two buttons on the right side of the device is camera and voice command... keeping these buttons pressed while resetting gets you straight into bootloader mode... my post mentions nothing of pressing the communications button...

Good thing you're so perfect @ everything and that you've never made a mistake.

I love it when people become proficient in something and forget that they were new at it once.

The new people coming on board might have some great things to add. Everyone is a n00b in the beginning.

If you weren't so high and mighty you might realise that offering a helping hand can foster some great community moments and pull some good ideas into the forum.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] markgamber:
So new is the same as illiterate? This isn't rocket science, apparently reading is.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
You know what? Screw all of you. I'm trying to help clean up the stupid postings that hijack the chef's threads and piss them off.

As I've said, I've unlocked close to 50 phones using Faria's method and upgraded each one of them to probably 3 ROM versions over the last few months. Guess that means I don't know **** from shinola huh?

I'm following Faria and Molski's lead and leaving you all well enough alone.

-poof-
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] markgamber:
This IS easy. A quick search turns up 130 threads in this one part of the site alone with "brick" in them, many of which have nothing to do with a phone that is, by definition, "bricked". With every one of those, the search became another degree more useless and any viable information got another degree more lost in the crap and noise. So now anyone with any experience who still cares about those who obviously read half the instruction manual before stumbling into a problem they couldn't figure out are now simply repeating themselves over and over and over again. High and mighty? No, more like sick and tired. I figure if someone spends the kind of money a PDA demands and then isn't sweating bullets and cancels at the last second a half dozen times when they go to flash a new rom, they get what they deserve. But that's me. Those people like Dr P who still try to help should get a medal. They're trying to keep it an institute of higher learning despite watching it turn into a repository of the lowest common denominator.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] markgamber:
Oop, looks like Dr P beat me to it. There goes probably the most helpful soul on this site. Sucks to be you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rkwhyte2:
Yep I woke up this morning to find this. It truly does suck to be the noob who won't read what is out there for them to learn with. I have watched the board go downhill in just the last month or so.

People you have pissed off one of the most senior people left on the site and now he is gone. Oh well it was bound to happen.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xultar:
Senior member. What does that mean cuz he has lots of posts? So he can rip into people? I have a low post count but I read. I also have a job that requires travel 4 days a week every week of the year. So I enjoy reading...but not reading people ripping into people because they think they are superior or senior.

Yes some people are noobs. But not all deserve to be ripped to shreds. Is that what this is all about? Just ripping every new person that pulls up the courage to ask a question. Is that what this forum is about. Beating people down until it's just 10 people who are Sainted enough to post?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Never said I didn't make any mistakes...

I do have enough respect for the efforts others have gone through to document the processes involved that I actually read everything completely (a few times), then I line up the needed tools (checking my list several times to be sure I've not missed anything) and then I make at least on dry run through the process before attempting it on my devices.

Doing this may take longer than some are willing to spend but I've never read a post where someone has done this and still fracked up their phone.

I have offered a lot of help and been extremely supportive of real newbies.

I do however refuse to support "Give me now newbies", I never made a direct insult to this OP, I simply stated that help is a guiding hand not doing the footwork for you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xultar:
You know. You are correct and I will say I was wrong. I apologise. I've been a member for a while. I do a lot of reading. I really used to like this place just for the knowledge. Things are so wrong now.

Sorry to see you go if you do.

All hail xultar, defender of the Newbie 3-tards who have destroyed this forum. My guess is that by tomorrow morning you will be the new "Senior Member" on this ****-pile.

The problem is that too many don't bother reading. They simply harass us Senior Members with PMs, asking for info that is (or at least used to be) easy to find for yourself. Do you want to know how many newbies PM'ed me for the password to Faria's AKU 3 BETA Rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xultar:
I've been a member for 3 years now. I'm not defending the noobs but I am saying don't lump them all into one basket. The ones you don't hear from are the ones that are being lumped into this backlash.

Whenever a device goes on sale after the first 6 months the noobs come on board. The moderators need to do their work in assuring the community is kept together through the entire process. They also need to make sure that people are civil and they are the only ones handing out new a$$holes.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Apology accepted...

I really do regret what has become of this forum and wish it was fixable.

Thank you for the apology

So I was able to lean how to root my phone. The I decided I would load a custom rom that I got from one of the rom tools that was suggested here. I loaded it, it got stuck on the loading screen. So I tired to use philz to do a recover and it says there is nothing to recover. every stock rom I get on this form will not load. the only option I have is to load the zip file to my sd card and then try to load it from the sd card. so now what? right now im completely out of a phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Try this rom I'm on the v2 version but v1 is really smooth

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
i was quite tired last night and wanted to put more info in the post here on what i did. So this custome Rom I cant remeber the name of it but it had to do with the little android dressed up as a viking, i got as a recommentdation from the applicatio cybermoid or something to that nature. So when it attempted to load the rom it when to the boot up screen and just sat there, So i figure I would do one of the clock work mods recoverys that I had on my sd card and it failed to load. So at one point Philz asked me if i wanted to wipe the current rom and replace it with a new one. So i said yes figring that I could load the stock rom and it said that loaded. So last night I stayed up and tried to load 3 different roms and they all failed to load. Im wondering an this point if there is anything that can be loaded. I do remeber at one point it came up with a screen that said oden mode and said voided warrenty. i dont have a warrenty so i disregarded that. I will try the rom that you have suggesst tonight, I really hope that I can get some type of ROM on there. Beacase right now it just goes to the galaxy note 2 screen and sticks there.

Is there a manual key sequence or command line that can be run for my skipsoft tool kit that i used to root it to automatically turn on the us debugging? Also remember seeing a message that states that the root was removed. I think in in a hot pile of dog poop and this point, Any other suggestion if that rom doesnt load???

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
That rom is already rooted just wipe everything but the external sd or sd1 but wipe the sd that is internal dont wipe the modem either and it should boot no problem as long as you wiped everything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
How do you check to see if the modem is wipped?? i know it cleared off both the sd and sd1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
If you did just the rom might have it in there if not just download and flash it its just like flashing a rom and its ok if you wiped both just download the rom put it on your sd1 and flash it in recovery I use philz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
Ok so drop the ROM on the SD card, obviously plug it in go to recovery mode via the volume up/home/power key then selected it SD card and it sould load automatically. This is going to sound stupid but the ROM has to be zipped on the SD and not unzipped correct? If I get a error meaage I will post it here. I will probley be doing this around 5 pm or 6 as I am at work at the moment.

Sorry to be such a newbie..lol rooting it was easy if and when I get back into it I will put the full name of the ROM that blew it up because I dont want to have anyone else to go through this.:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
What recovery you using
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
when i got through the key sequence it says philz on it so i assume its that one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Is the recovery like pinkish purple? Like this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
exactly what it is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Download the rom

Wipe everything but the sd1 and the modem

Flash the rom

And let it boot

And let me know what happens
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:

For http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...lteatt.zip.md5 it failed. Re Ran ]http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip and worked but before I rebooted it it states at the top that the root is missing or broke. rebooted and still the same stuck on the samsung screen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
Ok im goig to go with im screwed on this one as Ive been all over this form looking looking at how to fix this phone. the only thing I can get into is the philz and do a data reset/ wipe the dalvik cache and load the philz touch recovery then when I try to install any zips beyond that it fails so at this point I have no idea where I am going and if I am doing it properly. when trying to install the ODEN-UCUCNE 5 stock-no recovey zip it finds it, opens it and then fails.

so im pretty lost at this point either im not doing it right or the phone is bricked.. any other suggestion? I looks like im going to be buying a new phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Ok wipe everything again like you did and then reboot the recovery and when you hit reboot recovery it will say something about running the root process or something just hit no and flash the rom that will work sorry forgot about that step my bad man it takes ALOT to mess up this phone trust me lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
No do everything on the phone don't use Odin so in the recovery go to mounts and storage and

wipe the system, data, preload, cashe, boot, and sd card but not the sd1 (external sd) and reboot the recovery in power options and hit reboot recovery and hit no when it says something about supersu root process then when it reboots just hit install zip and find the rom you downloaded
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
ok so

1)factory data reset

2)wipe cache partition

3) go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache

4) then I went to the sd card and installed the zip you gave me, it says install from the sd completed press any key to continue

5) when to power options and hit reboot to recovery

then it asks me if I want to restore the recovery settings from the card or no - I said yes

then it asks me if I want to apply the root from /system/xbix/su- I said no

it rebooted back to philz touch

now what??? I assume install rom zip..

what is the correct ROM download that I should use... ive downloaded so many if you can point me to the right link that would be steller

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
My question is, if you got the first rom from an app, are you sure you downloaded the correct rom for your device? If you flashed a rom for a different device, it may be soft-bricked and you may need to use odin to flash a stock rom and PIT file to repartition. That's the only thing I could think of that would cause so many rom zips to fail and be stuck on the Note 2 logo.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mar11974:
If you have a micro sd card in it, turn the phone off, let everything cool down, remove the battery cover, now place your finger on the micro sd card slot and turn the phone on. If it gets really hot in about 10 seconds, remove the micro sd card. Try running the phone without the micro sd card to see if that is causing the heating issue. Could be an old micro sd card or a failing micro sd card. Be sure to use a decent speed Class 10.
