[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertofelce:
I'm having a big trouble with my Galaxy Note 2 GT N7100. Everything was going well, I have an spare battery, so I changed it when the other one died. When I turned on my phone, it didn't boot. It keeped showing the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 screen.

I can't remember if I was on 4.3 or 4.4.4. It wasn't rooted, and it had an stock recovery.

So I proceeded to flash an stock ROM via Odin. This didn't work. I downloaded different ROMs. 4.4.4 and 4.3. None of those worked. I tried different USB cables and USB ports. Different PCs with different windows version. Odin still failing.

The phone enters recovery without any problems, takes like 1 minute to enter into recovery mode, but at the end goes by. But this appears when I go into the recovery:

failed to mount cache/efs

failed to mount/system

can't mount/cache/recovery/last_install

I tried a wipe factory reset, nothing happens, those error (failed to mount cache, etc) keeps showing up.

I even tried with different Odin versions, 3.07, 3.09, and 3.10.7. It keeps failing.

When I go into download mode this is shown:

product name: GT-7100

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

Knox Warranty VOID: 0

AP SWREV:2

Then I tried to flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Nothing. I tried with this custom recovery

- philz_touch_6.07.6-jfltexx.tar

- philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar

- recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-n7100

- recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-n7100

Then I decided to flash this one

- twrp-2.3.1.1-n7100.img . tar

Aaand something interesting happened, Odin didn't show an error. RESET was blue, and then PASS on green. BUT when I do vol+, power button, home button it keeps going into stock recovery.

So I tried to flash the TWRP recovery again but unchecking the autoboot option. PARTITION WAS NOT CHECKED. Odin said RESET on blue then PASS on green, didn't auto reboot, so I did the combo keys. Vol+, power button, home button.

Still entering on stock recovery.

I dont know what else to do. I'm desperate. I mean the phone turns on, but it freeze on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. There has to be something to do right? :(

I really hope you could help me!

Thank you in advanced.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_Angel:
Sounds like a hard emmc corruption (very common in earlier Galaxy devices note 1,2 and S2) but I can't be so sure

did you try flashing a new recovery from stock recovery ? if I remember correctly philz recoveries should work even from stock

if you didn't try please download a recovery from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103 and try flashing it in stock recovery let's hope that works

I am afraid you have the SDS problem that so may Note 2's experience. Mine included. Try the methods above, but i feel they will also fail.

Only fix is to replace eMMC chip or motherboard.

Sorry for your loss
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertofelce:
I haven't try that, I didn't know that I could flash a custom recovery from stock recovery. But I don't know Hoy to do that. I should save the recovery I'm going to flash on my SD card and then look for it and flash it? Or there is another way to do so?

If the problem is a hardware problem, and replace the motherboard is needed, how come the phone turns on? I thought that if the motherboard is broken or something the phone doesn't boot at all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertofelce:
Replacing the motherboard would fix the problem? There are some motherboard on ebay for 25-40 $. Is it worth to give it a try? or it would be better to buy another phone? Like moto g 2nd gen for 99$ for example.

Why the phone boots if the motherboard is damaged?

thanks in advanced for your response! :good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_Angel:
to flash a recovery ,yes download the .zip version put it on external sd card and flash it from stock recovery (I used to do this all the time on my old Note 2 but that was a long time ago ) ,it's the only way to flash any thing to your phone right left right now

emmc corruption doesn't put your phone on a "DEAD" state ,sometimes when the corruption affect data or last few blocks from system the phone work normally but the second the system writes the corrupted blocks it get's boot loops

because not the whole motherboard is damaged but only the emmc ship ,you can't change emmc ship without replacing the whole motherboard

edit :

I can't put external links because apparently I am a 'noob' here otherwise I would've put the direct link to the need recovery
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaro666:
yes he can change emmc chip without replacing whole motherboard, . It's a common thing in phone service, so just ask in a few places to get the quote and see if it makes sense to repair

you can google "note 2 emmc" on youtube to see how it looks. The chip itself is very cheap, like 5$, so if you know someone with the tools, then I'd just try to repair it

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagDave:
Constantly charging, and not allowing the battery to fully discharge did this to me.

Going through two full charge / discharge cycles fixed this. So I'm thinking it was just a calibration issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] died4u525:
I had the same problem. And I intentionally depleted the battery to less than 5% probably 95% of the time so I don't believe not allowing the battery to deplete enough could've been the issue, for me at least. I'm rooted so I tried different ROMs, calibration procedures and apps, charging and depleting the battery differently ie. draining to different levels, etc. Nothing worked and over time it just got worse and started shutting down at higher percentages. After reading many reports of this problem with the Note 4, I decided it must be a problem with the stock battery. I bought a 2 pack of Anker batteries, same capacity as stock battery, and I haven't had the problem once. It was back in October that I replaced the battery.

Its basically like a data exchange where you can tap the phone against something to transmit data, a bit like using wireless payment for example (although I think only iPhone has that at the mo but I could be wrong). If you want rid of it just go to settings-more-nfc then switch to off.

I've tried my best, in all possible variables and finally decided to give up after wasting 3 straight days of a perfect weekend.

My Driver just doesn't stick and I've tried all alternative installation methods. I've kept backups of system/*.* so all damages were reversed without any flashing. Root, Busybox everything runs perfectly and tested everything for integrity.

So far I've cornered the issue to Systemless Root, which seems to be the only entity having issues with v4a. Until a proper answer is digged up, I'm gonna stick with my Note 5 which has this working on System-Mode Root. (The driver didn't stick on the Note 5 when I tried to use it with System-less) Luckily the Note 5 is still on LP, with Su 2.64.

It is Viper Atmos Sony Beats edition working beautifully on ny S7E. Three more step to do after flashing: 1. freeze SoundAlive and AdaptSound, reboot. 2. go to system preferences and check whether Viper has memory access granted. 3. go to SuperSu and DISABLE 'Mount namespace separation', reboot. Done!

Btw. If you want to play with Profiles inside Viper, go to your internal memory using root explorer and inside Viper folder create folder called 'Profiles'.

I picked up this cable to support high speed file transfers with my new Pixel C: http://www.amazon.com/iOrange-E-Bra...01ABXMQLQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Plugged the A end it into a USB 3.0 port on my computer and the C end into the Pixel C, then attempted to copy over a folder with a little over 2 Gig of files.

It immediately Hung while transfering the first file. I canceled, and tried to simply open one of the directories on the tablet from my windows file explorer and it took forever just to open an empty folder. Unplugged the cable, and plugged it back in to another port and tried again. This time I got almost half way through the 2 Gig directory transfer when it hung again. Tried another four or five times, and never got past the first dozen files or so.

Unfortunately, my PC and the Pixel C are the only two devices I own which support USB 3.0, so I'm really not sure which is the problem. Anyone else have any luck doing large file transfers to the Pixel C over USB 3.0?

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Score a 3/10 Repair Rating ​

​

So it looks like neither of the new S7 phones are going to be very easy to repair. iFixit gave them a 3/10 rating. Ouch. Let's hope the durability is decent so we don't find ourselves elbow deep in a high tech version of "Operation".

[YOUTUBE]mEAtYx-gXms[/YOUTUBE]​

They're both fairly similar in the steps needed to repair them. With almost identical insides, the teardown process is the same.

Samsung has also blocked development for these devices which is strange. Looks like they're headed in a direction that is anti-development and anti-repair.

[Asus Transformer TF700] rachabot:
Hello,

Decided today after a couple months of non-use to fire up my TF700 and update it. The device has been unlocked prior and KitKat4.4.4 installed with TWRP 2.6.3 I believe.

Today I was going to put TF700 LP 5.1.1][ZOMBi-POP OMNI KANG RC2][DEC 10] on it.

Reading the instructions I saw I needed TWRP 2.8.7.4 so I booted into Fastboot and was able to load this img file.

After that I could no longer go into Recovery. It just hung on RCK (stopped flashing) and a power off was all I could do.

So then I notice that I was supposed to have boot loader 10.6.1.14.10, mine was 10.6.1.14.8.

So I believe I downloaded a kernel file instead of a bootloader and probably uploaded the wrong thing to the boot loader.

Now upon powering on the device, I see "The Device is Unlocked" at the top left of screen and the ASUS and NVDIA logos and that is all it does (regardless of the power/dn vol combo).

PC does not recognize anything is plugged into it (I assumed it wouldn't)

Any hope here, or should I toss it? (sad as it was working good, just wanted to update it).

Thanks.
