N2 won't boot after CM 12.1 update from CM 12

Last night I flashed the last CM 12.1 RC on top of the last CM 12 RC via CM Updater using Philz. The phone booted fine once, but when I did my first restart it hung on the Note 2 splash screen. Battery pull, then no boot whatsoever. I get one little red flash in the charging light. When I put it on a charger no charging light. Note: I have tried all key combos. I have tried different batteries. I'm sure the batteries have good charge.

Any ideas? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] champeau:
Same here. I love twrp but I can't get a single rom to boot after flashing with it. No problems with philz.

APN settings

OK, im the answer is out there somewhere, I'm just not finding it. I running my note 2 on boost unlocked ATM and I cannot for the life of me change APN settings here. I'm trying to get 4g working along with MMS. Does anyone know of a fix that will work in this situation?? Every app i try either says android 4 and above does not allow apps to change APNs or just goes to the APN settings where there is nothing, even if i add them manually. I've tried all recovery fixes i could find and followed all tutorials. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated..

My go to fix for this is flashing stock with odin. Essentially starting all over. Re-root, flash recovery, busy box, and then wipe and install new rom.

Though I have yet to solve my issue with twrp. I can not flash a single rom with twrp. I just sit at the rom splash screen forever. Eventually I have to flash philz and reflash the rom.

Has anyone gotten a different kernel to work with the current nightlies? I tried lp plasma kernel, but it did not work.

Sorry for double post...

There's no CDMA support yet which makes it a no-go as a daily driver for me but if anyone is running their device with wifi only, I'll have a cm13 build up as soon as Android File Host accepts me as a dev.

Not sure if this really should get a thread yet because it's really just a test (or maybe I'll start it in a bit) for now, here's the first build of CM13 for the l900.

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for bad things that happen as a result of flashing this*.

Some things that are improved over cm12.1 on our device:

It's zero point nine versions better

The video/YouTube pause bug mentioned in this thread is gone :D

You can install this with Philz or even the new TWRP 3.0. I suggest using Full OpenGapps for now rather than Stock but I've yet to test with any other package. If you want to risk it, you can try dirty flashing but I wouldn't suggest it.

Notes:

* Bad things will happen as a result of flashing this. Anything that requires cellular service will not work! This obviously includes data; you'll only be able to get online over wifi if you install this. Do not install if you enjoy getting or sending texts because, of course, SMS won't work either. Do not install if you need your phone to function as a phone; with this ROM, you cannot place or receive calls. Ringing your mom will not work nor will calling 911 in an emergency. Again, dialing 911 will not work! Do not install this. Oh, and Bluetooth won't turn on either.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProperNoun:
Hm. Boot looped on me too. Had to Odin back to stock then back to Philz 6.07.9 and flashed over a fresh 12.1 install without trouble though.

Not sure why the newer version of recovery is tripping us up but Phil mentioned future compatibility issues when he killed the PhilZ Touch project a year and a half ago... maybe this is one finally biting us on the rear.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skryte:
What were you originally using? Do you have a copy of the 6.07.9? Would the cwm nightly recovery work? Lol took so long getting everything back even with TB that idk if I want to try today as we all know what day it is.;)

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

I'm a dumbass. Tried to install twrp with the manager from the play store. It reverted me back to the original recovery n not twrp. Now I can't flash anything and mobile Odin keeps giving me errors now too because of it. Didn't want to have to break out the laptop but looks like I'll have to.

Edit: Odin TWRP3. When you dirty flashed over 12.1 did you still have data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProperNoun:
No. There's no CDMA support in CM13 yet. sbrissen has been working on it but hasn't made it public yet. For now, CM13 is wifi only.

Did you ever get it running? I got 6.07.9 from Rwilco12, installed 12.1 (w/o gapps if that matters), let it boot to make sure it worked, then booted into recovery and installed 13 with gapps. Data et al. will still not work though. Best to wait for sbrissen if this is your primary device like mine is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndyYan:
So what's the deal with TWRP? Why wouldn't ROMs flashed with it boot up, despite it being a much newer recovery than PhilZ, and even got an update recently?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] champeau:
Test ROM then Gapps

You should flash just rom and see if it boots, then flash gapps. This will at least let you know if one or the other is the issue and not the recovery.

When I use Philz I can't use latest gapps. I always have to use a pre-packaged gapps from April of 2015. This is where Philz recovery age and no development is glaring. It can't handle the way gapps is packaged from basketbuild or open gapps.

At least that is from my experience...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cfli1688c1:
yeah, tried all that, still stuck at the blue head logo loop.

I had a heck of a time with 2nd account my work requires 2 factor and I just never received the texts from Google to set the account. Had to remove two factor setup account and then re-enable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] starlightknight:
I've been using the new official CM13 nightlies this week. So far, these are my observations:

Installed using TWRP 2.8.6.0 Mod (from the TWRP thread)

Upgrading from CM12.1 works fine

Data and calls seems to work better than on CM12.1 - much more responsive, lower latency on sending small data like texts in google voice. Both LTE & 3G work.

Both cameras work.

Bluetooth works, but bluetooth audio is much worse than on CM12.1. On CM12.1 it would occasionally skip for me when starting for the first time, but would stabilize after a minute or so. CM13 has constant skips to the point of being unusable :( This was the one thing I was hoping would be fixed over CM12.1. It does not seem to matter if screen is on/off, wifi is on/off, cpu governor, speed, etc - it skips constantly no matter what. Tried against multiple bluetooth audio devices as well.

2.4ghz wifi works. 5ghz you can see access points but it does not connect for me (against Netgear R7000 w/ DD-WRT). On CM12.1 it would connect but frequently drop the 5ghz connection.

Other than the previous two issues, it seems pretty stable. Have not had any force closes or random reboots all week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crhylove:
So I've been using CM 11, CM 13 nightly, tried 12 a while back. I can't get wifi to stay connected on my 5ghz connection. Is there a rom that has that fixed for the l900? That and bluetooth audio are really all I need, I don't use cell service at all anyway (cord cutter, wifi google voice only).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crhylove:
Update! Mokee is perfect EXCEPT bluetooth audio. [emoji26] the wifi works great though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] starlightknight:
For those running CM13 - I had been hitting some really frequent, really annoying random reboots that were driving me crazy. I finally sat down this weekend and started to fix some issues with our device on CM13. I've submitted a variety of patches for our ROM (details here) that are still pending, but one that got accepted today that should fix these random reboots.

This patch should be in the 7/25 nightly build tomorrow. Please let me know if anyone still gets reboots after this (and preferably, if you do if you can cat /proc/last_kmsg to a file and post it after the reboot that would be great).

As for the other two major issues:

Bluetooth stuttering - something was done recently where this works fine now as long as you do a clean flash. I am not sure exactly when it got fixed, but I definitely had to do another clean wipe w/ no data restores for it to start working - and upgrading from CM12.1 definitely did not work for me this issue. I've used it with bluetooth speakers and a bluetooth car unit with android auto and both work fine for me now.

For 5ghz wifi, I'm looking it to it and hope to have a solution soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yisroel Adler:
Thanks a lot Starlightknight for your efforts!

I personally (rockin' the 7/21 build) had no issues with random reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] starlightknight:
That's interesting - I'm personally curious as to why that is. I didn't have the crashes at first either when I posted earlier in the thread, but it had become extremely frequent recently. On the other hand, originally I upgraded from CM12.1 when I originally thought it was stable. However, a few weeks ago I did a clean flash because I heard that made bluetooth audio work properly - and it did. However, I've been getting non-stop crashes the last few weeks since. I've even pulled it out of my pocket a few times while walking to find that it was in the middle of a random reboot, and had it reboot while I was on a call with someone.

So first question - had you upgraded from CM12.1, or did you come from a clean flash? Also what baseband version?

Also, to some degree it seemed how fast it triggered depended on what you were doing, as it was a crash related to USB. For ex, running android auto in my car would trigger it really fast. But it could also happen on a fresh flash while the device was idle, with no additional apps installed - the modem could trigger it if you were on cellular data - this is where I'd see it every few hours at idle. I saw this with both the NE2 and OH3 basebands - NE2 seems to be much more stable in general than OH3.

IIRC there were a couple of hardware revisions of l900, I suppose its also possible that it only affects certain ones; personally I bought mine on launch day.

There was a thread about this exact crash on the CM forums as well where some other users were getting the exact same crash as I was.. All I know is, I was getting it as much as 2-3 times an hour, and android auto was completely unusable; however, I have not had one all day with that patch applied, even when taking a drive with android auto :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yisroel Adler:
I clean installed when the CM13 nightly builds started coming, and I since then clean installed one or two times along the way when I had some boot stuck or boot loop problems.

Baseband version is NE2.

I see you say the Android Auto was something that triggered it. That could be an explanation since I never ever used Android Auto.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] starlightknight:
Weird. I was hoping to see a possible correlation like that you'd upgraded from CM12.1 or were using a different baseband version. Android auto wasn't the only trigger for the crash - anything that uses the USB bus could trigger it, which apparently includes the modem - so it can happen at idle. Android auto just accelerated it because of heavy traffic. I was able to reproduce it by doing a clean flash and just leaving it sit idle while doing nothing - though that way it could take a few hours. It's just confusing because based off of what fixed it, I would have assumed it should always have happened. Anyways thanks for your input!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
OK. My phone never got along with 13. I was on another ROM for a year. And I don't know what happened, but that ROM doesn't work. Trying 12. Downloading 1117 snapshot. I can't imagine its some hot new release. Is it good? Something else I should be doing?

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

Well. I went to the website and answered my own question. 2015. Looks like some nightly s were just run. Anybody doing well with those?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] starlightknight:
The current 13 nightlies are usable with some issues. After a clean install + opengapps nano, you'll need to reboot once after fully completing setup to get LTE paired successfully. Alternatively, toggling airplane mode once should also do it (there is an order of operations issue on the first boot that makes it require the restart). You only need to do that on the first boot.

Additionally, the network settings menu, apn menu, and MMS are glitchy in the current nightlies, but they will be fixed by this patch of mine when it gets merged: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/156661/

If you're going to upgrade to 13, for best results make sure you have at least NE2 baseband, if not the OH3 one. Personally I use the OH3 one now. Also make sure to flash from TWRP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Cool dude. Thanks!

I will wait for a more stable version. Let me know when we get there.

I was a ROM addict a year ago... Probably more. I forgot what baseband I'm on. NE2 sounds right. I don't think I have even ever heard of OH3. Lol. So must not be on that.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Yup. Checked NE2

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Now your making me wonder...and I have forgot a ton. 13 never worked for me. Always froze and glitchey. I flashed it on many roms. My phone just didnt like that...what was it NE or something? Now, I wonder if the baseband would make 13 and more work for me.

Boot Loop

I tried downloading the new build three times, once from computer and twice from phone and I am

having no luck getting it to boot.

I did the normal wipes i always go through x2 (data/factory reset, cache partition and dalvik).

The first build worked for me.

Not sure why I cant seem to get past the boot logo.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Edit:

So I tried multiple downloads and still nothing. I downloaded the first build and it worked fine again (I was on it previous to new build). Don't see why old one works bit new ones doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
i just want to say that i downloaded today's build from OP (my first time trying a Cm12 build) along with the gapps there, and haven't had any problems installing it. I even did the forbidden "restore all apps and settings" with my backup program, and most everything worked out of the box. Will continue to mess around and check things out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] resarfekim:
For those who are having no problems with making/receiving/ending calls, would you please share your modem and recovery versions, and any details about how you installed?

I'm on modem NE2. From Philz 6.07.0, I did full wipes and formatted internal SD, installed the rom and gapps.

Whenever I'm in a call, the screen goes black and won't wake up until the other phone hangs up (though I can sometimes kill the call with the Power button if I enable that setting).

-update- I re-wiped everything again, twice, installed the latest, and it looks like I am squared away.!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] deviouskind:
When I try to dirty flash the new build over the old build, I do have some progress but still doesn't boot. It updates the apps and when at "100% - finishing boot" it freezes and reboots.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
My take on this ROM

I would strongly advise people not to do it dirty flash of the new ROM over the old ROM. after doing so neither of my cameras would work. but after cleaning it up and doing a clean install of the new ROM, I have to say this is believe it or not the most stable custom ROM I've ever used on my note 2. Its even more stable than CM 11. I am very much pleased!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1midniterider:
I stuck it out with twrp because it was only recovery to mount encrypted filesystems... That is until the footer was changed with cm11... But it still allows me to install cm11 nightlies...

I can confirm that the GPS does not work yet. I can, however, connect it to another GPS source via bluetooth and that works.

As for music on bluetooth, I'm still trying to work some bugs out. It worked until I got a text message, then I couldn't hear anything. I did some research and it looks like it's an ongoing issue with lollipop.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mephistonian:
GPS worked out of the box for me. For some reason GPS has never been an issue for my Note 2. The one issue that is preventing daily driver status for me is the call / hang up issue mentioned earlier in this thread.

Here are the symptoms:

While making a call, dialer disappears at times and will not show that a call is present. While hanging up, the dialer will read "hanging up" without making any progress.

Otherwise, this rom is absolutely amazing, no need to upgrade to a Note 4 when CM12 kicks our phones into beast mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tvwebguy:
That looks to have worked! Hopefully that will get integrated into a future build.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] resarfekim:
Mephistonian, when you say the GPS worked for you, did you try driving around with it, or were you stationary? Because out of the box, my GPS appeared to work while standing still, but would not track while I'm driving (until I apply the fix).
