I don't think it will happen, because they want us to flash every single ROM and spend hours deciding what one we like.

Even the titles and original posts no longer seem to be updated. I've searched many threads trying to find a lollipop ROM with a black theme (not dark grey). I found newer versions mentioned towards the last couple pages of a thread, that weren't mentioned in the original post.

I know it's extra work but man it's difficult to sort through the different ROMs when the thread op lacks so much info.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
Try to put off battery about 10 min. After that try to put your device into download mode (volume down + home +power) if there is no sign means your phone is hard bricked. Only jtag can solve this
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadie12345:
I tried and no signs or reaction.

Are you sure?

My Phone is still recognized by ne Computer when I take out the Battery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
Maybe but if pc still recognizes phone it didnt brick. Maybe your motherboard or your screen took damage.

I mean i still can flash it with SP Flashing Tool. but only when i take the batteryy out. And i don't know why the motherboard or Display should be damaged

Your phone is working without battery just with USB connection like laptops ? Is it working now ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It is most likely a bad Emmc chip. Clones are known for using faulty hardware.

We also don't deal with clone devices so you will not find alot of help here.

Also just because the pc still sees it doesn't mean it's not bricked.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elunesgrace:
I managed to successfully upgrade my Note 3 from 4.3 to 4.4.2 (which in retrospect seems like a bad idea due to the battery drain problem).

Nonetheless, I have rooted my phone for the most part (binaries won't update properly though).

The issue I am facing though is that I used Titanium backup pro to backup pretty much everything. However, when I go to restore my action memos, It shows multiple memos as attached.

Upon restoring all 4, it shows the notes, but they are all blank.

I simply need to access the data so I can write it down. Any ideas?

Thanks!

hi,

can i use my dash as a wireless modem for my laptop over cable, bluetooth ?

[HTC Excalibur] rabilancia:
yes, but you need to do so by setting up a Bluetooth PAN
[HTC Excalibur] cudo:
can u explain in more details , please ?

cudo
[HTC Excalibur] jehlinger:
This works with my laptop, YMMV:

1. Enable Bluetooth PAN on the laptop, go into bluetooth settings and enable it there.

2. Pair the phone with the laptop, using a secure connection.

3. One the phone go to Start>Accessories>Internet Sharing (click the icon).

4. Before you hit Connect (left soft button), be sure that PC Connection is set to Bluetooth Pan and Network Connection is set to T-mobile Data.

5. Hit Connect, now on the laptop, double-click or right-click and hit connect on the shortcut for the phone PAN Icon.

6. It should say Status: "Connected" on the phone.

7. Surf to your heart's desire if you have unlimited data.

[G2 Accessories] Valiceemo:
I'm a bit confused.

Having searched around these are in abundance.

But I'm seeing a lot that are actually flash drives.

Such as this one

Kingston 32GB Data Traveler MicroDuo USB 2.0 OTG Micro USB Flash Drive

Is this purely a flash drive or can I hook this upto phone and laptop up to that?

Same question for this type:

OTG/USB Multi-Function Micro SD TF Card Reader Adapter Hi-speed For Smart Phone

Finally, are they really useful. Specifically can I store music on an OTG sdcard or flash drive and play it normally via Google Music app?

Will I be able to save pictures direct without having to manually move them?
[G2 Accessories] WillDroid:
The Kingston device is just a flash drive that can either be plugged into the PC or to your phone via OTG, and will appear as a flash drive to both. You cannot plug this into a PC and your phone at the same time.

The card reader adaptor is a similar device, except instead of housing its own flash memory, it serves as a card reader for micro SD cards. Otherwise it works in the same way.

I have personally use OTG for my music and movies, keeping them on a high capacity flash drive for use while travelling. Music does appear in Google Play Music, but I use the stock player for FLAC audio files.

I don't know of any way to change the default location to save camera pictures to but I'd also be interested to find out.
[G2 Accessories] Valiceemo:
Thanks does the USB drive been used 'on the go' need to be in any specific format? NTSC? FAT32?
[G2 Accessories] WillDroid:
I use FAT32
[G2 Accessories] scandiun:
You can buy an adaptor 2 or 3 dollars, so can connect any pendrive or external hard drive to your smartphone, even keyboards and mouses. Notice that in order to use HFS+ or maybe NTFS you may need root.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
If you haven't found it already, go to Droidstyle's Restore Guide here: ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34891181 ). Section 1b has step by step instructions on how to restore the phone. Make sure you use the pit file with the correct firmware version when doing the restore.

Unless you have a Note 2 that never had a firmware update since the phone's release in 2012, then you can't use the VRALJB stock restore image. Droidstyle warned that it would fail at sboot.bin if you try it. Also, if you ever upgraded to 4.4.2, then you can't downgrade back to 4.3 or 4.1.2 because of bootloader issues.

If your phone is currently on 4.1.2 bootloader, then you can restore back to that firmware version. If it's on 4.3 bootloader, then restore back to that... and if it's on 4.4.2, then restore back to that. After returning the phone to Stock, boot into recovery and wipe cache & do a factory reset... as Odin doesn't seem to fully wipe everything.

Droidstyle's link for 4.1.2 looks to be down.... but recognized XDA Developer imnuts has the 4.1.2 VRAMC3 Odin file on his Android File Host site here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880932932

Also...if needed, here's a link to the Verizon stock 4.4.2 firmware: ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/30950/I605VRUFND7_I605VZWFND7_VZW.zip/ ).

Good luck!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiantsFan91:
I can't get in bootloader. I press up vol + home button + power. No good.

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Volume up+home+power button would put phone in Recovery mode if it was functioning properly.

You need to use Volume Down+Home+Power button to put the phone back into Odin mode (aka Download mode). From there, you can Odin flash the appropriate firmware to restore the phone. If you're not sure what version of Android you had on the phone before you tried to restore it... then I'm not sure which version you should use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiantsFan91:
I used 4.1.1 Jelly bean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
But that attempt to flash 4.1.1 failed at sboot.bin... so you'll need to restore to whatever version you were on before to tried that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiantsFan91:
I downloaded CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_low_ship_user.tar and fail! I put sch-i605-16gb.pit and CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_low_ship_user.tar. No good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiantsFan91:
How? I have no recovery. I can't get in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
You need to put phone into download mode to restore with ODIN... not into recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiantsFan91:
I did..i restore with ODIN. No good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
You tried to restore back to 4.1.1. It will fail at sboot.bin every time and won't work. You need to restore back to a different firmware version.... whatever version you were on before you tried to Odin flash the 4.1.1 firmware. If your phone was updated to the newest 4.4.2 firmware them you will only be able to restore back to that firmware version because the bootloader is locked.

Bricked Galaxy Note 2 while updating to 4.3

Hello I am a new member i recently tried to update the Galaxy Note 2 to Android 4.3 through Odin using stock firmware i downloaded from Sammobile.com and it went through successfully but the phone is now stuck on the Samsung logo and will not go any further, I need some help with this ASAP as the phone does not belong to me, I was trying to update it for a friend like i updated mine but i have not run into an issue like this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Try to boot the phone into Stock recovery by holding volume up+home button +power buttons all together until it boots into the stock recovery. Then wipe cache and do a factory reset. Hopefully that will fix things.

tried that

i tried to do that but the phone will not allow me to enter recovery mode, only 2 screens i seem to be able to access is the Odin download screen and the perpetual Samsung Galaxy NoteII screen, i did the update through Odin 3.9.0 and it took the update on Odin just fine but the phone wont boot up all the way, this is the script from Odin

as stated before im still kind of new at this so any information you could provide me would help a ton.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
If the phone was on 4.4.2 before you tried to Odin flash 4.3, then you will need to reflash 4.4.2 back onto the phone. You can not downgrade the phone to any previous Android versions because of the locked bootloader on the SCH-I605.

The log from Odin looks ok to me, so it sounds like something must be corrupted on the phone. Since you can't get into Stock recovery to wipe things.... then you might try 4.4.2 since 4.3 won't seem to work.

4.4.2 is not as easy to root as 4.3, but there is a root method called GhettoRoot that works on 4.4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] christherock:
the phone was on 4.1.2 before i attempted the update

i am not interested in rooting it im more concerned on getting it to boot up all the way, i get all of my firmware from sammobile but i cant seem to find the firmware for 4.4.2 on there, if you have a link of where i could find it that would be very helpful as well. please im kinda desperate here lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
On the sammobile website, you should be able to click Firmware, then enter GALAXY Note II and pick (SCH-I605).

Here's a direct link that should work: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/30950/I605VRUFND7_I605VZWFND7_VZW/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] christherock:
found it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
I would still use the pit file. If you follow Droidstyle's Restore guide, (but just use the ODIN 3.10 version and the 4.4.2 firmware from Sammobile)... that will hopefully help you to get it restored.

The Sammobile site says not to have the repartition box checked.... but if you use the pit file, it automatically ticks the repartition box (which is what it's supposed to do.... so leave it ticked when using the pit file).

PS: Also make sure you're right clicking on ODIN and running it as Administrator....and disable all antivirus programs and close other running programs in the background when running Odin.

If your friend doesn't want the phone on 4.4.2 and it was never on 4.4.2 previously, then you could try reflashing 4.3 onto the phone using Odin 3.10 just to see if it would work with the newer Odin version. If it doesn't work, you could try 4.4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] christherock:
didnt work

just updated to 4.2.2 using Odin 3.10.6 and pit file but its still doing the exact same thing, i did run Odin as an Administrator as well, I also checked NAND erase as i had read on another thread that this could possibly solve the issue, no such luck....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Hmmm... I'm stumped. Was the phone working fine when you first tried to Odin flash 4.3 onto it?

Also.... what information /text does the phone show when you boot into Odin mode (aka Download mode)? It should still identify the phone as SCH-I605 somewhere on there... if it shows a different model of phone, that could explain things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] christherock:
Information as displayed

The phone was working perfectly fine, we tried to update it to the 4.3 because it was supposed to be better but now the phone won't work at all, the information displayed is as follows:

on the phone-

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I605

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

I have absolutely no idea what could be wrong with it, every time i flash the firmware for 4.2.2 in Odin it displays PASS! but the phone won't go past the samsung screen, im at a loss here :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] christherock:
Question

you can flash root66 even if the phone was not rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
I'm not sure if it would work. I'm just throwing out ideas and that was definitely a "Hail Mary pass" for sure.

If I recall correctly... I think root66 has the boot img removed from the tar package.... but I might be wrong. I honestly don't know if it would even pass in Odin.... and flashing root66 could help or cause even more problems. You'll have to research and decide if it's worth it to try flashing it. I'm out of other ideas though at this point. Let's hope something works for you. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
I tried to do a little more research on root66 while on my lunch break....and I can't find anywhere that it says the the boot img was removed in the tar package, so I'm not sure why I was thinking that.

Since there's no mention of knox in your friend's phone's Odin mode... I don't know if it ever actually got upgraded to the 4. 3 or 4.4.2 bootloader. Do you happen to know what Android version the phone was running before you tried to flash 4.3 onto it?

Here's a thread from 2013 where XDA member shangrila500 had suggested someone try root66 with Nand Erase checked in Odin:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2359070

Like I said... I'm not sure if it would work/might make no difference /might make things worse.... If you get desperate and have no other options, it might be something worth considering. The main thing I think is to try to get the phone to boot back up to wipe in recovery/ do a factory reset. If it will boot into a ROM, then wipe within phone's internal settings if you can't get it into stock recovery.
