[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edutchz:
Ok am new here and have to admit that I've had a pretty long day trying to figure out what exactly went wrong with my Galaxy Grand 2 (SM-G7102) after flashing the 4.4.2 Official firmware I downloaded from sammobile to the device using Odin. The process is successful, no errors whatsoever from Odin but when the device restarts it shows the usual Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 logo with some tiny blue text at the top "Recovery Booting" and from there nothing else happens.

I have tried to flash the firmware again using a different PC, USB cable and even Odin version but I get the same result. Previously my device was running Android 4.3 and I wanted to upgrade to Android 4.4.2.

Here is what I get from Odin.

So you know, I have even tried flashing a number of custom recoveries such as CWM and the likes to no avail, I either get: "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" or "COULD NOT DO NORMAL BOOT".

Please help me out guys, I have flashed countless Samsung devices with Odin before but I have never encountered such a situation, what could be the problem here? And better yet, how can it be fixed?

please help me.i have this problem with grand 2

i dont know how can i fix it...please tell me..if you resolved.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edutchz:
For anyone who still has this problem on their Galaxy Grand 2, apparently I never found a way to fix it. But after giving up on the phone and giving it to my cousin, he was more patient than me and he left the phone powered on while stuck on the Logo screen and after say 30 minutes to 1 hour the phone booted up.

The phone works normally, however should you power it down..turning it on again will take it roughly 30 mins to an hour to get past the initial Logo screen, am not sure why but that is how it now behaves.

Try connecting it to a charger while you wait for it to boot, hopefully it will work for you as well.

I no how to fix the problem is i think u have not downloaded of ur region
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixmix:
Same damn problem here

Problem seems to be related to fake Samsung Phones. I went to the Samsung assistance centre in Guangzhou (China) and they felt quite embarrassed to tell me that although I may accept to pay any fee they charge they cannot fix my phone because it is not made by Samsung and that is easily the reason why it has a faulty boot manager, probably hacked by incompetents.

Either the phone is fake or the official Samsung Service centre here is, in any case there seems to be no way around it.

I a looking now for some way to reload the original boot loader and then restart from there.

Has anyone found solution yet? I'm having same problem with my Grand 2 Duos.

only download mode is working. Can't boot to recovery or normal.

After leaving in charging for 15-20 mins, I got white flash-logo( something new then ever).

So keeping it in charging for more time. let's see...!

PS: phone starts with grand 2 logo and then samsung comes up with audio. that's it ! after 3-4 mins later reboots and so on.

in recovery mode it shows android symbal and loading bar.. then it reboots in normal mode. and so on.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamshark:
I guess you guys have downloaded a wrong firmware. I mean, sure it says it's for Grand 2 but the "Region" is different. Try downloading the one for your region like if you are from India, you gotta need indian version that is INS.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterTec:
Using Ting (MVNO using Sprint network CDMA) ever since I upgraded from CM11 to CM12 I get intermittent loss of cell signal at times. Every couple of minutes, regardless of where I am or how strong my signal is I will lose all cellular signal for about 20 seconds, including voice and data, and then it will pop back up just like it was before.

I've tried downgrading to two different radios and nothing seems to make any difference. Like I said before this problem didn't occur until I did a clean flash of CM12.. everything was fine with CM11.

I've even wiped/reinstalled CM12 with the same issues.

Does anyone have a solution for this yet?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getxrealx:
I recommend keeping your radios updated to LRX22C. Where did you get your ROM from?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterTec:
Direct from cyanogenmod
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getxrealx:
From what I've gathered, it seems that sprint networks being unreliable on cm12 has been an existing problem that may get fixed in the future.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterTec:
Well I fixed it.. sort of. I had tried this before but I didn't reboot the phone.

SETTINGS / MOBILE NETWORK SETTINGS/ PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE

I switched it from LTE to 3G. Looks like I might not be getting LTE coverage but it's hard to tell as LTE is sketchy at best at home and at work... and in either case I'm on Wi-fi anyway. Not a huge deal.

I had tried this before but I didn't reboot the phone after making the change. As long as I leave it on 3G my cell signal never drops. If I switch it to LTE or GLOBAL then it will randomly drop as described above.

I'll retest things after each CM12 update I install see if we get one that works!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarletbaron:
Were you able to find a solution for this that you could share?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterTec:
Honestly no..I just keep it on 3G and there are no issues.

I tried about a week ago switching back to LTE but the display never showed LTE and I definitely wasn't getting LTE speeds and the signal drop returned.

TBH LTE coverage is pretty spotty in my area and I don't use a lot of data outside of Wi-Fi anyway so it's pretty much a non issue for me.

When a CM12 snapshot is released I'll probably try again.

I should add that I dirty flash the latest nightly almost every morning. When a snapshot comes out I'll wipe and clean flash things and go from there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterTec:
Update... about a month ago I did a full wipe, going back to stock, did the network updates, etc and all was well.

Then I did a fresh install of cm12.1 and every thing worked great.. Lte and all!

A couple days later I dirty flashed a nightly and got an exclamation point and no data (Wi-Fi is fine). I did find the sprint fix flash which allows me to do the network updates again from cm (had to switch to 1X for it to work) but that only yielded a temporary fix.

I did however find a workaround. If I go to my apn settings menu and change a setting on my ting (sprint mvno I use) entry then change it back and save then BINGO! I have Lte again...

That is... Until I get handed off to another tower.. Then I have to do the workaround again.

It said that it would free up some internal space so i accepted and it instantly shut off.

The Huawei Start page doesn't work anymore, i get the "" has stopped error along with a couple of google apps that have stopped.

Does anyone know how to fix this, i'm kind of a noob here and i'm pretty desparate because my phone doesn't really work.

Useful Tips

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in settings/eragon updater you will receive OTA updates.

after download it is in your sdcard/download folder and ready to flash via recovery

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you will get a notification when there is a new OTA update.

check /settings/Eragon update/Rom for it. :)

klick

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-in settings enable powersaver only for cpu (system will stay smooth as butter

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-in settings/language & keyboard you can enter google keyboard settings.

in advanced settings you can change to 4 different color themes , or change the long press delay or keypress vibration etc..

also there you can change your keyboard language

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Settings/ appops you can disbale app permissions. i use it to disable the htc service pack / google play service Location, to save Battery

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you want a bit more smoothness

go to settings/about/software info /more/ and tick 7 times on build number.

no you have enabled the Developer settings in settings.

browse there to Advanced and change all Animations to 0,5

but dont disable it .

if you use Nova launcher make sure that you set the scrolltime to faster than light

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-if you miss something look in Skeletons Hub, perhaps its already in there.. ATM Hub is Under Contruction

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kernel in the ROM is the elementalX 4.04 by flar2 ​

First great work, looks, feels great. I had a bit of strange item, I was unable to see any folders on my SD, I can access my ext SD with no issues but was not able to see anything on my main/inter SD, via the ROM.

So when I was trying to restore app via Tibu couldn't find the Tibu folder, it just was looking and looking. I installed my explorer pro app, and was trying to see if I can access the inter SD, yes I was able to, but I was empty. Which is strange, because all the folders were there, but not visibly. First time this has happened for me on any ROM. I am on the Firmware Required: 4.16.401.9 and have all the requirements needed to run this ROM. Just a note, but again looks and feels great.

Not sure of the strange no visibly of the inter SD....

[One (M8) Android Development] Clark Joseph Kent:
I never format, my internal, with a new ROM. That is why when I restore my apps, my "stuff" is there. Every so often I'll format my internal to clear out old files, which I actually just did yesterday. Although I have all back up on my ext SD.

Again, I've never seen this....but really like the feel and look of the ROM. Thanks.
