Hi.
Sorry if this topic has been thrashed to death.....
I'm used to working with PC's flashing BIOS etc so have some background knowledge, but am new to Andriod.
Relevent Info....
Phone: Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (Not Rooted)
Firmware: PDA:LQ2 / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP4 (XEU)
Baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 11:17:48 KST 2012
Build number: IML74K.XXLQ2
I have upgraded from GB to ICS 4.0.3 through Kies using the official samsung release.
ICS seems to have given me no noticeable advantages and some disadvantages, but I hate to give up on what should be an upgrade.
Since the upgrade I have been experiencing lag regarding screen touch / watching video online / Battery drains faster, in fact many of the issues others are reporting. Some issues I have managed to sort after finding difficulties with other apps (JD was causing Wifi probs re. AOSP(?) ). I have also removed the battery for some 5 minutes and cleared the cache from all apps that I can.
I have done much reading and am unsure regarding one point, and so to the crux of the thread and question:
Some have reported performing a factory reset helps cure these problems, but I have also read reports of factory reset bricking the phone. The warnings given NOT to factory reset refer to 'ICS leak ROM'.
Is the official ROM released thru Kies by Samsung the same ROM as the leak version and will performing a factory reset with the ROM I have used likely brick the phone?
Sorry to take up your time and thank you in advance for any helpful information you may give.
Update:
After speaking to T-Mobile support I was assured that should the phone become unusable after a factory reset then they would replace the phone as I had done nothing improper, and they advised me to go ahead and do it.
I have now reset the phone and wiped the cache and the phone is still usable.
First thing I tried was to test the lagging movies through internet (demand 5 in my case). Was asked to install adobe flash which I did through google play (v11.1). End result movies still choppy. I have since learned of others having problems with Adobe flash in browsers so this problem may lay at their door.
Screen touch lag seems to be gone now. Too early to tell about battery drain.
Regards to all and good luck in your upgrading.

Hey guys,
I was hoping someone here could throw me a bone on a problem I am having with a Galaxy Tab 2 I recently got for my wife. For some reason it keeps telling her there is a software update. She has tried to install it multiple times and it appears to go through successfully but the prompt to update comes back again a few hours later. If we click "Later" it gives a a maximum time of 3 hours before it reminds us to update again. i saw someone else had asked about this in another part of the forum and they were directed here but I never found an answer.
So... The numbers:
Model: GT-P3113
Android Ver. 4.0.4
Kernel version: [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT TUE JUL 17 23:47:56 KST2012
Build Number: IMM76D.P311UEBLG5
I've gone in through the start menu and cleared the cache, next step I am considering is starting from scratch with a wipe to factory fresh. Before i did that though I thought I would check here.
Anyone have any advice?
**EDIT**
Just for clarification, this appears to be a system update. Not an app or anything like that. If I go intot he preferences and check for a software update it immediately prompts for it.
Rooted? If so, I was told to try to browse system/app folder for the Fota.apk. delete that and reboot. I've basically got the same problem and posed the same question HERE.
Its simple root your device you will get no ota notofications as when device is rooted ota is disabled on it....
And if it still shows up Then freeze software update,fota app and you are done...
Alternatively you can try resetting your tab or flashing a fresh stock rom or any other on your device..,,
Thanks for the replies guys. :highfive:
My wife has no need for a rooted device and I'd rather leave her in the somewhat walled garden on it. Not that she cant handle it but I'd rather not tempt fate with anything. I am after all her tech support. :laugh:
So this morning I decided to run it one last time before I did a factory wipe on it and oddly it took longer to update then on previous occasions. Now when I go check for system updates it tells me no updates are available.
What is strange is that we tried it several times before and nothing changed. Now we are seeing a new Kernel version and build number:
Model: GT-P3113
Android Ver. 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.0.8-999349

Of course murphy's law decided to wait until AFTER I posted here at XDA to get the update installed properly.
Ah well... At least it is resolved.

Actually, I've been having the same problem. One thing I've noticed is that all of the Roms out there for SGT2 appear to be for the wifi/retail models (GT-P3xxx). The verizon models aren't versioned that way. It is simply the SCH-I705 (no GT-P model designation). Therefore, and correct me if I am mistaken, there are no roms compatible with this hardware.
Also, My device is rooted, I still get OTA notifications. For my device, there is no fota.apk in the system/apps folder, so I either need to find a rom that will work with this phone, unroot/update, or do a factory reset and hope it fixes it. Right now I'm pretty frustrated with this damn thing...
If you are italians, please, rispondete nella mia (nostra) lingua :good:
...and away all users which propose reset or data wipe! I'm a fairly experted user, please I won't spend another time to begin again from scratch.
Software details about my Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon 16 GB:
Status: Customized and rooted
ROM: Android Revolution HD - 32.0 (Android JB 4.2.2)
Kernel: Stock - 3.0.31
Apps (most importants, all ones with root privileges):
Superuser;
Avast! Mobile Security;
Cerberus;
Titanium Backup (from last data wipe I've manually customed apps and settings, without resorting to TB);
Seeder (enabled on boot with moderate service profile activated and extended I/O queue);
SetCPU (400 Mhz instead of 200 Mhz as minimum CPU frequences and no other changes);
GreenPower Premium.
My device became a brick, fortunally there isn't any hardware and logical problem: according to eMMC Check, Sudden Death doesn't exists and all eMMC are ok.
Device components shouldn't be damaged, I shouldn't be thus unlucky!
I've a lot of freezes and a slow device which often lags, principally in default applications (gallery and others).
They happen in casual occasions, most frequently when:
I using Chrome, when I type much with SwiftKey in address bar;
Start/quit apps and games lighly faster than usual;
Sometimes when I turn on locked screen (Black Screen Of Death or freezed wallpaper).
Rarely happened unexpected restarts.
To solve these problems I've used DFG app as proposed by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133401.
It has worked succesfully, for a week device freeze only every 1-2 days, when I had to wipe cache from Recovery Mode and bring back peace.
But now stability decreased newly, DFG and wipe cache are almost useless.
Help me, I've got simply a rooted device with an excellent ROM, without any bloatware, virus or whatever hindrance to stability and performance.
I've tried a lot of setting changes, removed several apps... with a slight but not enough enhancement.
Thanks in advance! :good:
Hey, are you absolutely sure you have a Verizon Galaxy SIII (d2vzw also known as SCH-i535)? Cuz Android Revolution is an i9300 rom and we do not have a known thread for that rom in the Verizon GSIII dev or Original Dev section. Did you flash this exact rom?
Maybe you didn't mean to say Verizon but version? Cause it sounds like you have an international device there if you where running that rom. If you do have a Verizon US S3 and you flashed that rom that explains why you have a brick now. And if you have an international s3 your in the wrong forum.

I'm not really sure about "S3 nature". I've imported them from France, bought via stockisti site (I reiterate, I'm not completely sure) if it's a Verizon or an international model.
Exactly, I've installed Android Revolution HD - 32.0 based on 4.2.2 firmware.
I using one since 16 June, initially I didn't have any problem even though I used Titanium Backup to restore all apps and system, from 4.1.2 stock ROM to 4.2.2 ARHD, a great restoring, only some Samsung app goes to freeze.
Now I've recently wiped data in my device and restored apps and settings manually, without using TB.
Hi all,
As stated in title, I've been running Jasmine for weeks pretty flawlessly, and I chose to attempt the mobile hotspot (unlimited data, custom ROM, was hoping to circumvent somehow and get data for my tablet on the train), now it's busted!
The phone freaked out a bit when I tried to connect my tablet and kept connecting/disconnecting repeatedly till I said forget it and shut it off. Didn't realize till later in the day that my data was b0rked. I've pulled the battery, wiped all the caches, erased the partition, and flashed Jasmine again and still nothing. Called Verizon tech support just to verify that nothing strange was going on on my account with Mobile Hotspot (like a data freeze or something, I have no idea just trying everything), and went through every step they could offer. Of course I didn't mention it was rooted, so they weren't much help.
You would think that erasing the partition and flashing a new ROM onto it, after erasing the caches, would totally have fixed the problem, right? Any ideas about how to fix? I'll gladly do more research, but through Googling and searching multiple forums I haven't found any good advice for the problem, so I figured I'd ask people more knowledgable than I am.

Please give me any advice you can. If this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it Mods, I just thought this was good.
Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Does WiFi tether work on Stock ROM or some other ROM ?
Please check that up first .
Also the device model you have given is for Note 4 Verizon. Whereas the firmware is for Note 3 Verizon . If you have installed Note 3 ROM on Note 4 then it might cause issues.
The best thing will be to sign up on forums and ask the developer in the Q/A thread. He would be able to provide better support.

Have a good day !
Strange, I have a note 3, and in the settings (after re-flashing Jasmine) it says SM-N910V. If that's the Note 4 model, that's all sort of messed up. Thanks for the tip, I will post there.
Thanks for reporting back

Good day. Tech isn't my best discipline but I feel savvy enough to remedy my phones current demise. After receiving the Marshmallow update mid January 2017 on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910T the phone has turned into utter garbage. Messages don't send, using the internet is tortoise slow, restarting every 15 minutes is normal, calls are dropped 100% of the time. I didn't have any issues prior to Marshmallow.
Ive performed the following with none correcting the problem: 'wipe the cache partition', uninstall all non-stock apps, reset to factory settings. Nothing helped. Tmobile recommended rooting. My research says this may work but Ive also found others having success in flashing a different version of Marshmallow or downgrading to Lollipop.
I went down the path of flashing a different version of Marshmallow but I have a Macbook and can't find where to download Odin or JOdin.
Can someone please direct me down the right path?
Thank you

Maybe this question is asked by many guys here. I follow their instructions to reboot, re-flash via odin and factory reset for the phone. Nothing improvement.
I see the update for the ROM for ESL9 in Jan 2020. However, root is must for my daily use so I worry for the lost of my root after upgrade and the process is irreversible since the BL will be upgraded.
The android system battery drain is 30% for 8 hours during my sleep. The phone is also hotter in normal use (chat and web browsing only, no Youtube or video watching) when compare the ROM in android 7.
Any helps? I still dont want to buy a new phone as Samsung really want us to buy !
It never happens in android 7.
Great thanks.
