[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the9kill:
Hi again,

Yes, I can fully appreciate why you would say that, from what I see ODIN is very straight forward and unless you do something totally (silly), like jiggle the cable or do something midway it should not hardbrick. Therefore it makes sense you suggesting the cable is faulty, but it seemed to copy over 32GB of data seemlessly in one go. Although i will change the cable as a precaution as there is a slight cut.

When I say hardbricked, I mean hardbricked as in no recovery and no download mode, and no display whatsoever no matter what you do.

[UPDATE] Okay, the strangest thing happened. After a whole day of charging the phone, sometimes trying it on for luck, hoping something would happen. I went to the doctors and came back, and oddly enough the screen had life!!! Yes, this gets bizarre, I repeat a clearly hardbricked phone resurrected back to life with a screen showing ("A firmware upgrade encountered an error, please retry with kies") or something like that, so overjoyed with this sign of life I carefully put it into download mode and its now waiting.... But before I try Odin again, I think I will take a leaf from Ceomavericks suggestion and get a brand new cable from another samsung phone and use that this time.

By the way Ceomaverick, last time i just tried to flash to stock rom using AP, and kept autorebook and Ftime checked.

This time I am seeing on a thread to do the following, please advise (given that my TWRP doesnt mount anything at all).

It says do this: from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43760271&postcount=22

Open ODIN, and check Re-Partition, Nand Erase All, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Uncheck all other boxes. Click the PIT button and select the PIT file appropriate for your device (16GB or 32GB). Click the PDA file and choose the Stock Rom you downloaded. Press start and wait.

File Type: rar	PIT_t03g_0907_16GB.rar - [Click for QR Code] (899 Bytes, 84 views)

File Type: zip	BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip - [Click for QR Code] (1.03 MB, 75 views)

click start.

If everything goes well, the process should succeed and the phone should reboot. Don't wait for the phone to boot into android. Immediatly boot into recovery, factory reset the phone and wipe cache. Reboot to Android.

Now, if everything worked well, your phone should boot into Android. And then sort out the sleep of death issue.

I think I will wait for some feedback before doing this and just enjoy that my phone is mysteriously back in download mode, perhaps a hardware issue......

Cheers

UPDATE:

Now that we are back to softbrick, I tried download mode and ODIN again, this time it fails right near the end. Last time it failed somewhere in the middle. So it seems to randomly fail and this is with the brand new USB Sony PS4 Cable. I ditched the worn out samsung cable because of the first fail. So twice its failed, but at different points. If it doesnt hardbrick again this time I suppose I will keep repeating till it passes.

For now just a straight rom flash, not sure if i should repartition with the before mentioned PIT Files and bootloader etc. Wont do that unless im told.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
Good news is you can visit download mode.

Ok. Alternative.

Download Philz recovery latest version. Flash it via ODIN. If it succeeds, u can flash a touchwiz rom

If that fails, then your partition table is corrupt (asumming thr r no hardware issues. )

Download firmware from different region for your note 2. India maybe. And flash them. May be this might do the trick.

If all above fails, it has to b a hardware issue.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the9kill:
Hi ceomaverick!

Just going to highlight what you said with a few questions please.

"Good news is you can visit download mode. " - Yes, and once I tried to flash it for the second time it got hardbricked round 2. So somehow me flashing it gives it a seemingly temporary hardbrick. That was some hours ago and still no way to turn it on or get any sign of life, just like yesterday before it miraculously came to life again. Which since it has happened once I am guessing it will come back to life again as i followed the exact same procedure as before but Odin failed much later on into the process rather than halfway through.

"Download Philz recovery latest version. Flash it via ODIN. If it succeeds, u can flash a touchwiz rom" - Okay I had Philz before I will reflash it when it comes up and i suppose search for a note 2 touchwiz rom. Philz as before wont be able to mount anything though, even sim card. As i did this prior none of them, TWRP, Philz or CWM can mount anything. So even if i have the ROM file i wont be able to use it on SD if the SD doesnt mount, but i can try it through Odin?

"If that fails, then your partition table is corrupt (asumming thr r no hardware issues. )" - I suspect this is the case hence not mounting, so do I use that PIT file and select Re-Partition in Odin to resolve that?

"Download firmware from different region for your note 2. India maybe. And flash them. May be this might do the trick." - Good idea, while the hardbrick is waiting to resurrect (LOL), I will start a download.

"If all above fails, it has to b a hardware issue. " - Again something I suspect, from forum could be this dreaded eMMC "insane samsung chip" problem which is as far as i know a 16gb internal SD? If so, perhaps there is a way to put in a 16gb SD and edit boot to mount from there as internal instead from the eMMC? Sorry if thats way out there, but i read something like this once.

Appreciate the help, waiting for it to spring back into life ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
If the firmware from other region fails, then find pit file for 16gb to flash. If that too fails, I think your phone needs hardware repair.

Thank you very much! / Muchas gracias! / Muito obrigado mesmo!

I've been waiting for this update so long... and after I discovered that the final release was available I couldn't wait more... and my device just kept telling me that it was updated, when we know that is not the truth... I've tried contact with Motorola, they told me to relax and wait for the update...

Thanks to Joiner22 my wait is over now!

I've updated and it's working fine.

The update process took almost 30min.

The first impressions were very good, this update doesn't do any miracle, but the device is running smoother than before.

Hi,

So I have been getting random reboots on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. I only noticed this after I allowed SuperSU to disable KNOX. It said it was enabled, recommended I allow it to disable it, so I said OK, and ever since then I get random reboots. Any help is appreciated. I don't know if I need to find out how to RE-ENABLE KNOX, or somehow totally remove all KNOX services and apps. Thanks again.

Oh and I'm running Stock rooted 4.4.2.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] thdervenis:
Had the same, fixed

I had the same problem a few months ago, after disabling Knox. Downloaded and installed the Xposed module "Samsung KitKat System Server Crash Fix", not a problem since.

You can get it here http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.thomashofmann.xposed.samsungkitkatsystemservercrashfix

thdervenis, thank you. I installed the APK at the link you provided and so far I've not experienced the reboots I once was. Weird that this was happening at all but glad someone found a "work around". Would be nice if the root cause was remedied however.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] dottat:
The root cause is letting supersu disable knox. If you leave Knox enabled everything (root included) works fine and no reboots happen.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] petermg:
Why does SuperSU recommend to disable KNOX? It says that unless I disable KNOX it may cause problems. Very confusing.

Oh, and is there any way to RE-ENABLE KNOX once you've allowed SuperSU to disable it?

I'd like to know the answer to both questions too. I also disabled KNOX per SuperSU's recommendation, and now find it difficult to use my tablet now that it constantly reboots. I'd like to just enable KNOX again instead of installing a workaround.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] eldoodorino:
I wanted to chime in and state that my T900 started randomly rebooting after freezing all Knox-related apps using Titanium Backup. The device was rooted using the appropriate CF-Auto-Root file from Chainfire's site for KOT49H.T900UeUANI1 several days ago. The reboot problem immediately went away after I defrosted Knox again. There are multiple threads now, including this one, that pretty well establish that disabling or freezing Knox can cause unwanted rebooting. Is there anyone who can identify the underlying problem so we can figure out once and for all whether Knox can, in fact, be safely frozen or deleted on rooted devices? Many thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mingkee:
Fortunately, I "stole" the ROM while I reflash the tablet with Kies3, and I just use Odin to flash the "stolen" ROM, restart once, and run CF Auto Root, and leave Knox as is (not disabled) when SuperSU prompted.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mpompey:
Anybody have any luck in re-enabling Knox to get rid of the random reboots? I went into General-->Security-->Device Administrators and checked the checkbox for Samsung KNOX. Did a reboot but I'm still having the reboots.

I even installed the "Samsung KitKat System Server Crash Fix" mentioned above and it still is rebooting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does anybody know a list of pre-installed apps that can be safely "turned off" in our device? This is of course referring to pre-installed apps that can't be uninstalled.

I've read that sometimes turning off certain apparently inoffensive apps may bring instability to the device.

For example, I was just checking my location settings and I saw that AT&T Navigator had been requesting location (with high battery usage), but I don't use that app at all, so I'm plan on turning it off, but I wonder in what other apps that can be done safely.
