Issues with 2CQL1 build - Help!! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

So I've "successfully" updated to v8.0 using the above method. I'm currently on build 2CQL1. I updated from AQH7 to 2BQJA and then to CRA4 using the Samsung Firmware Science downloads. My phone is stock AT&T (not unlocked), and is not rooted. When going to CRA4, I encountered a pretty significant error which continues to plague me. I've searched through the forums and haven't read anything on similar to this issue. I cannot use Always on Display. It has to be turned off, and..I cannot take the update in Google play for the Always on Display app. If I try and take the update, the phone goes into this weird state: Screen dark except for the edge indicator. Phone will vibrate three times, but screen will remain dark. Only options I have is to try and restart or turn off. I was able to get into the recovery menu, and do a reset to factory settings. However, upon doing that I noticed that I was running build 2CQL1. After doing this a couple of times, I finally figured it out it was the AOD that was giving me issues. So I disabled it in the phone settings, and will not take the update in Google Play.
Update: Now, I'm getting the vibrations randomly, even with AOD turned off. The phone is still functional, but I fear I may have to reboot and do a reset at any moment.
Anybody have any thoughts on how I can get back to a stock version of ATT software? Again, I don't need to root or even unlock my phone. Just looking for the stock software so I can have a functional device.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for the response. Can I just download the .zip file to my phone's SD care from the link and install it from the Recovery menu?

no you need a computer

This is all set. I downloaded the latest official AT&T update, and installed using ODIN. Thanks to everyone for the assistance. It had been a while since I had done anything like that. Back to the Samsung Infuse days.

htc sensation wifi error

yes I have tried almost everything, like flashing custom roms or stock ruu almost everyday with different variations. flashing kernels, tweeks, so on and so on.
It works somehow and it disconnect itself after a while or totally stucks in "wireless is turning on". After it get online it makes couple of reboots and it gives "wireless is turning on" error again. I can use the phone for days but wireless never gets on.
The funny point is when wireless on and screen is locked and screen is off. When I attempt to click screen lock button, sometimes it never gives light but I can see that The screen is on and I can move the ring and do whatever i want but it is very hard to see actually. I have to put on light on to see the pictures but it doesnt happen when wifi is off or gives error.
and another funny point is I can swipe down upper bar when screen is locked. I can do bypass.
What the hell is going on my phone? no idea really
lol, i don't know a solution for the screen/wifi issue. but lockscreen pulldown status bar is a new feature of ICS, not a bypass
to make it easier to access your notifications
we have the same issue i even downgrade to GB but still the same problem did have the wifi issue when you did OTA ?

I think most of the people having same issues and problems but having no solution for that? it is just ridiculous.

Hi,
Have a look at THIS THREAD
Particularly # 3 and Extra 1
I have this problem as well...whatever I do, I can't get wifi to work anymore...I reflashed firmware, tried several different roms, I followed the guide in the aforementioned post...nothing helps...it always says "Error" after some time.
Is there anybody who knows what to do?
Struggled with same problem for months...gave up
I had the same problem with my wi-fi and bluetooth. Both would get stuck on "turning on" mode and never come on. Everything else worked fine. I too flashed ROMS, Kernels, RUU's etc. to no avail. SO I GAVE UP. After 2 months without wifi i couldn't anymore so i called HTC, they asked for my S/N and IMEI and confirmed I was still under warranty, so I un-rooted, went back to S-ON, flashed the newest official T-Mobile RUU and shipped the phone away. I called today and they said the MOTHERBOARD was being replaced and I should have it back this week! Woot-Woot! Try giving HTC a call...worst thing that happens is they say NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY...but you won't find out till you give em a call...*shrug.
I have the same problem with the lock screen and wifi. Except for me the wifi is always on "Error". It doesn't say anything else it just says error. It started happening after a system update failed to install. An update would come up and reboot my phone to try and install it. So it would start up ext4 recovery and ext4 would do some stuff and then reboot again. After boot I was asked again if I wanted to install the update. I repeated this process a couple of times before deciding I had enough and deleted the update.
Wifi has been on Error ever since. Everything else works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on a HTC Sensation XE stock rom but HTC Dev unlocked and perm rooted.

find your firmware.zip,extract the boot.img from it,place it the file where adb is and then do the commands

Hi buddy.. I was having the same problem as you with the wifi error. Also my phone was restarting by itself. what I did was that I removed the SD card and left the phone without it. It worked for me. After that my wifi was working perfectly and no more restarts. I had a 8GB SD Card before, maybe with this new update this 8GB SDcard was too heavy for the phone. I running a 2GB SDcard now with no problems. Please let me know if it worked to you as well.. Good luck!!

I tried this, but it did not work. I'm not sure if my problem is a hardware failure or a software problem. 3 weeks after I got this phone, it got water damaged. Full of water! I took out the battery, letted it dry for some hours and turned it on. Everything worked! Only thing to see from the water, was the spot, that shows if it have got water, was 3/4 red. Everyting went good within a month or so. Then in feburary/march it stopped working (wifi). The same thing for Bluetooth. It's just writing "turns on" wifi or the bluetooth, and after 5-10 minutes it say "error"
Edit: The reason why I wonder about if it's a hardware/software failure is, I do not remember if it came within a install of an costum rom or it just happened out of now where
Any sugestions?

I had the same problem, this is how i fixed it : first flahs 4EXT recovery, not clockwork, then get the rom you want and a super wipe, go into recovery, turn smartflash on in tools. Superwipe, then let it reboot, turn smartflash on again, and flash the rom

Ignore this info. What you need to do is log into your router hub & change the wifi signal Ch from auto to say, number 4 or summat, guarantee that's your problem.

Currently I am running the Hyperdrive ROM 13.0.0 and today my phone is really acting up. The power button is unresponsive. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or what. It just randomly became unresponsive. When I try to boot into recovery or download mode, the screen will pop up for literally one second and then the phone will cut off. So booting into recovery and/or download mode is a no go. The only way I can get it to boot all the way back up is if I pull the battery out and then put it back in and then hold the volume down button and the home button and then quickly hit volume down to cancel the download mode operation and then the phone restarts and reboots all the way.
Also, when trying to send text messages, it always says failed to send message and yet the message still goes through because the person I am texting always responds to the message that supposedly failed.
I was wanting to update to Hyperdrive 16 but now I just want to restore my phone to working order. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Incoming call volume ringer not working
I had previously had the RLS15 rom and it worked great for about a month then all of a sudden my ringer stopped working. Every other sound works. My notifications and media works just fine. So i was forced to flash back to stock rom. I was really disappointed because i love this rom. Then when the RLS16 rom came out i was really hoping this would fix my issue but it didnt. I really dont want to go back to another rom to have my ringer volume work again.

Tablet/Phablet Mode
Currently running RLS16 and it's running great!!!! Just curious on how I can get the phone to do a tablet mode and/or phablet since there's no hybrid settings baked into the ROM yet. Any help would be apprectiated.
hyperdrive rls16
Have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and followed Roms install instructions: 1.Download latest Hyperdrive Rom version Rls 16
2. Reboot into Recovery
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset twice
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Install Rom
6. Reboot.
But when phone reboots it loads and gets to the language screen and then will reboot and will do that over and over. Have tried it several times and same result did not have that problem with Rls 15. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
GPS Fails to Lock (SCH-I535)
First of all, thank you to SBreen for your hard work on this ROM!
I just updated to RLS16 (standard kernel) hoping that it would fix my GPS and google Maps issues, but no luck so far. Below are the methods I have tried in my attempt to fix the GPS:
1) Clean ROM install (four times) including formatting all user/system data, wiping Dalvik cache, etc.
2) Fix Permissions from Clockwork Recovery (countless times)
3) Clearing all app data for google applications, including deleting velvet.apk from system and re-installing through the play store (and using standalone .apks)
4) Tightening the screws on the back of my S3
5) Enabling all location service providers
6) Removing Hyperdrive and restoring to the original ROM (yuck!) restores GPS functionality, so I know it's not physically broken.
I love everything about this ROM with the sole exception of the lack of GPS functionality. Google Maps is currently unusable, and GPS Status will run for hours without acquiring a lock, even with the phone in a stationary position in high-reception areas.
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated, thanks!
After flashing, were you able to let the phone sit for 5-10 minutes before rebooting and setting it up? I found this crucial to getting the GPS to work...

Wifi Automatically turning on
So far so good on rls16. Its great work, and I am digging all the great features and customization options. Performance is smooth. One issue though, which has plagued me on rls15 as well...
My WiFi keeps automatically turning itself on. It happens when the screen is off and has been sitting on my desk for a while, also happens while I am using it. I believe it is supposed to turn on and then off when downloading mms data, but that is not the case here. It wouldn't be an issue, except it is connecting me to the open network here in my office, which I need to sign into on a web interface every time I connect. The WiFi signal is very, very poor so I prefer not to connect. Any ideas?
Thanks!
RLS16 problem
I have been using rls15 with no problem except for the initial install with the Samsung activation. I love your builds they really bring out the capabilities of the device. I updated to RLS16 and the activation problem came back and also I'm now having sms problems. It works well for so long then it starts returning messages saying they failed. I've flashed and wiped 4 times before the install of rom and have tried to install the fix. Still no solution. Any advice? I'm also using att i747
Boot Animation
First, I would like to congratulate you for this wonderful ROM.
Only trouble is; unable to customize the boot animation. I've tried a few applications, but none were successful.
I will appreciate you help. Thank you.

How to stop lollipop from installing automatically?

I have just noticed my G3 is taking the ota without asking for my approval. How can I stop it from doing it again? Thanks in advance.
Secret Menu
I went to the dialer keypad and typed in 3845#*850#, the 850 is my model number. Change it to your model # and secret menu will appear. Tap on WLAN settings and it will show OTA updates and pick disable. That's it. Worked for me.
Did that but the phone will still try to install. The reason I know is because my phone will be boot looping in twrp. At first I thought I did something crazy until this morning I saw a message saying phone will install update and will reboot in 10 seconds. Good thing is that I have the boot loop fix zip file in my sdcard.
I kept having this happen to me as well, even after disabling the option in the secret menu. I ended up installing the 855 minus 5 ROM.
I actually had that happen as well. My whole system was gone and stuck in twrp. I downloaded the copy of the 10f stock file and the zip fix file. Thought everything was good, then the update popped up again in the notifation bar, so I made a backup in twrp and tried disabling notifications. The next morning it started to auto install and it failed. Stuck in twrp again, ran my backup then disabled notifications again. Haven't seen the update again in the notifications. Hopefully it won't come back.
Using TiBu, I disabled/froze com.leg.lgfota.permission and Software Update and I have not had any issues.
Sent from my LG G3 D850
So I tried Titanium Backup. Couldn't figure out how to do it. I also noticed I couldn't send or receive MMS pics. Did some searching and on Google Play, there is an app called Disable Service. Download the app, open it, click on system at the top, scroll down to Google Play Services and click on it. Scroll down to SystemUpdateService and uncheck the box. I also went down to software update and unchecked all 3 of those boxes. Restart your phone and you're done. I also re enabled the setting in the secret menu. Now my pics come through again and the update disappeared when I restarted the phone.
Can the OTA be undone?

This may be a dumb question but I had something similar happen and I'm desperately looking for a way to reverse things. My D850 was rooted, still stock but tweaked to PERFECTION, and I was under the false impression that the OTA checked for root and wouldn't proceed, so when I got the notification that the update was available I dismissed it and didn't think about it. Next morning I woke up to find the OTA happened without any action from me and of course I lost root. The phone is now really sluggish with numerous nuisances and I hate it. AT&T really f'd up my perfect G3. I chose not to factory reset or clear the cache as some have suggested to improve performance. I guess I was hoping that with everything still installed there might be some hope to regain root.
I'm reading about people going back back and flashing zip files but I don't get how it's being done. I did not have a custom recovery installed but I did have a backup with Titanium, although I obviously can't get into that now without root. The really odd thing is that Softcard still thinks it's rooted and won't run. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm afraid you wont be able to go back to rooted kitkat without having to clean install as there is no root for Lollipop yet.

I have NOT received a single nag or download for OTA. I have had these frozen for over two months without seeing any issues in the phone's operations. In fact I waited 10 days after the 10f was released before installing and had no issues.

Recovered from boot loop but constant crashes with older ROM

I am helping a friend to get his One Plus One 64GB to work again after an OTA update broke it.
Initial Problem
Two days ago she started an OTA update which made the phone reboot constantly before even android started. Basically it showed the logo for about 6s then vibrated and restarted again. I later found /o/Android/data/com.cyngn.fota/cache/cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-signed.zip so I assume that this was what was installed.
The phone is completely untouched otherwise. She has no computer knowledge whatsoever and says she didn't give it to anyone.
My attempt
I was able to install cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed.zip and cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed.zip via sideloading. The phone started ok but was crashing all the time. I am not able to get into settings to activate developer settings (adb) because the crash notifications hinder navigation and after about 10s the whole gui crashes and I see the black screen with the hexagon loading logo. The latter firmware is worse meaning it crashes at a higher frequency.
The Problem
She didn't expect any problems and does not have a backup of her data. Thus I can't do a factory reset or use fastboot.
Question
Did I use the wrong ROM? There seem to be many variants. I haven't found any information which explains the differences.
Could I maybe flash a minimal ROM that would not crash to backup the data and than do a factory reset?
Is there any way to activate adb access without having to navigate to settings?
I've experienced your issues as well when helping another friend out, try using a newer version of cm11s, something like 44S /44R (i dont remember what it is) or 05Q, those should not have the issue and everything should work fine

The problem here is that you flashed an older build, going backwards like that is what's causing the crashes. Grab the latest build from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347802356
Flash that and hopefully you'll be ok.

That won't help, flashing an older build than what was previously installed without wiping properly will cause problems.

Most likely pure coincidence.
Thanks your reply!

The problem here is that you flashed an older build, going backwards like that is what's causing the crashes. Grab the latest build from here:

Flash that and hopefully you'll be ok.

Actually this is what I did in the very first beginning but I encountered the same rebooting symptoms like after the OTA update. Since it didn't seem to change anything I didn't mention it. I used cm-12.1-YOG4PAS1N0-bacon-signed.
Any other ideas? I am about to unlock it with fastboot but really would prefer not to delete all user data.

I don't think you have any other option unfortunately.

Galaxy S7 restarts randomly!

Hey, XDA-ers!
I got the Android Nougat 7.0 update for my Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD (DUOS) back in January if I remember correctly. And the update process went like how it normally does. But ever since I got the Nougat update, my phone restarts randomly for no reason. At first it used to restart when I click on the 'Recent Apps' button to switch between apps. When I tap on the button, the phone vibrates and restarts. The phone never over heated before this happens. During this, the phone used to restart 2-3 times a day. This went on for 2 months. Then now, the number of restarts reduced to 1-2 per day, but the problem still persists. And now, it restarts even when I don't touch the 'Recent Apps' button. So, if any of you has had a similar experience or if any of you could help me out Please share it here. It would be GREAT!
Also just one more thing- Any of you seen any DRASTIC or worse changes in battery life of your Galaxy S7 after the Android Nougat 7.0 update? Please share your thoughts here and do suggest how you solved the problem. (My battery drains so fast that I sometimes charge it twice a day. I don't even use my phone for half of the day because I'll be at school and still the battery drain is bad! )
Factory reset. Backup your data via kies and then reset it.
Change your battery
What firmware version are you running? There's at least one version of Nougat that has issues with this

Hey man!?
The screen shot attached has my software info. Check it out and tell me if it's one of the versions with the problem.
Thanks!
Hmm... and after the factory reset with no apps installed you are still rebooting?
Why dont you try to reflash your firmware via odin.
Download it from sammobile and reflash it.

Possibly. I can vouch for it being fixed on DQCF onwards, which is newer than DQC4. The temporary fix seems to be to use as little RAM as possible(try to cut down on background apps until the next update). That firmware isn't terribly old though. I would actually agree with trying a reflash first.

I think it is also possible to reinstall the same firmware with Smart Switch from the menu "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialisation". It's like Odin but much simpler especially for beginners. As for me, I am still in DQBO and I await the update DQD7 which is beginning to be deployed in some countries. If this is not going to solve the problem, I will try to reinstall the fimware with Smart Switch. What do you think ?

If it's restarting due to the firmware bug then DQD7 will most definitely fix it. Beware of the emergency recovery though. Ive not used Smart Switch but the "initialization" part sounds like it would wipe the device, though that could fix any issues. Backup first, if you can.
