[Completed] Sprint note 4 rooted, completely screwed

Got my note back in November, rooted through odin in December. Everythings been grand and perfect.
Till I watched a video on youtube 2-3mnths ago about good rooted apps (wanted to get more daring other than xposed) loaded gsm gestures app? I think was the name. Kept it for a week, didnt use it. Uninstalled it, phone rebooted, instead of the normal "app uninstalled"
After that my phones been laggy, freezes, and freezes and turns off. Its factory wiped itself 8 times. I have countless posts on Reddit timelining everything. Long short is, tried liquid smooth to see if that would fix my problem, lost text messaging with that could only text for an hr a day, flashed stock sprint firmware and rerooted afterwards, have been slow to reload apps on phone, incase of factory reset or whatever. my phone is now taking 75+ batter pulls to get into a normal boot, every 15bat pulls it jumps into download mode "could not do normal boot ddi_mms read fail" and now an ssl text ive only seen once today, ill try and write that down if it happens again.
Finally when I get back into my phone, sometimes I have to update prl to get service again, the other day my phone lost signal and all my network settings were unselected, I had to select them all and my phone was fine, then I was on the phone and it cut me out in the middle of a call and said roaming lost or something, and I had to reapply cdma/lte on sprint.
Im beyond frustrated, im getting married in 2 weeks, and going out of country immediately after, so I need a working phone as most my business is conducted through it. I have no upgrade on sprint, and cant afford to throw out 400$ for a "new" note 4
Please please please someone help me.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Here's a thread on returning to stock firmware. That should give you a fresh start,

Backup and Restore Watch

Is there anyway to completely back up the Gear S2 Bluetooth only version?
I started out with this watch using a Note5 phone. Since I've owned this watch, I've had to switch phones 5 different times between the Note5, Note7 and S7 Edge. Each time I switched phones, in order to pair the watch to the phone, I had to do a light reset, which takes off all apps and watch faces. I'm able to re-download and install all the apps and faces, but it's a major PITA. Especially because I have 20 custom watch faces that I've designed, which means I need to go into the Gear watch designer program on my computer, set my watch to debug mode, connect it to WiFi, then load all 20 of my own faces 1 by 1.
This whole process takes a good hour or so, and drains the battery fast.
Any way I can do a complete backup and restore (quickly) so that all of my watch faces and such will reappear?

I was also in the situation as you mentioned and was jumping from phone to phone for couple of weeks and here is what I noticed.
1) If I set up my watch with my Note 5, the gear manager app does backup my settings and such. Then If I do light reset and connected to exactly the same phone, then upon connect it will restore my settings back onto the watch.
2) If I do light reset and try to pair my watch with another Android phone, then it doesn't restore anything and I am forced to customize the settings again and set everything up.
I am thinking that the backup/restore file is left on the phone itself somewhere in the folder. I didn't look for it, but it would be beneficial to get that file and the copy it over to another phone - if my theory is correct.

Anyone got an answer to this ? Trying to save 40+ Custom watchfaces from Galaxy Watch 3 ...

Unable to set up Samsung Pay on Gear S3 after upgrade to Galaxy S8+

As the title implies, my issue is slightly different from the others reported; I don't have issues with the BT connectivity (that I can tell). The watch and phone see and connect to each other. I have no tested this extensively, but I was receiving notifications on both devices just fine after setting it up.
My issue is specifically with Samsung Pay on the Gear. When I first selected the "Connect to a new device", and it went through the reset process, Pay was completely gone on the watch. Couldn't see it in apps, couldn't see it from the Samsung Gear app on my phone either. I thought that was peculiar, and couldn't find a remedy, so I reset the watch completely. After the reset, Pay was back, but the watch failed to finish the restore of my data. I reset it again. This time, Pay was back AND all of my data was restored without a hitch. I happened to already have the need to call my bank to authorize my debit card for Android/Samsung Pay on my S8+, and asked if the agent would stay on the line to ensure I can set up Pay on my watch as well. The nice gentleman agreed to, and after 15 minutes of rinse/repeat with holding the back button, the watch would do the following:
Display "Check your phone"
Display - and stay stuck - "Keep device connected"
Nothing happens. On either device. It's obviously trying to push an internet prompt to the phone, and it's not sending/receiving successfully
If anyone has any pro tips or experience with this, please chime in! And I don't want to seem rude, but in the interest of saving time, please assume I have at least a moderate understanding of device maintenance. Such that I power-cycled devices, reset, etc. The issue is consistent, and my underlying question here is whether or not it might have anything to do with my phone being the unlocked US model. Not International, but still unlocked.

I have the same issue as outlined in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/samsung-pay-gear-s3-unlocked-s8-t3620316
And in speaking with Samsung support, Samsung Pay only works with S3 paired with a carrier phone in the US, which is stupid.

Help me pls gear fit 2 pro 365 software problem

Greetings in the guild. Guys 28.12 at 10:28 am stuck Fit 2 Pro. I thought it would be a piece of cake, but to this day I have not solved it ... The factory settings, flash 2AQI1 and 2CRL1 did not always help after the start, I will show there for two seconds the original date and then the current date. It is not HR pedometer, storey or sensing wrist rotation. It just shows the time and date ... I thought the flash firmware would erase everything in the watch, but the bite just stored there somewhere and does not want to go away ... Anybody have advice? Thank you

Same problem as me. Reset gear did not help too.
Update: Seem I found issue. It happen to me if I use Gear fit2 pro with other phone brand with default Watch Faces )(Fitness Pro 1) I have to reset my Gear and connect again and select other Watch faces seem it fixed my problem.

Question can't pair with galaxy watch 4 classic

hey i recently bought a galaxy watch 4 classic, i paired it with my android phone.
but i reset it as im lending it to a friend, but my friend already bought his and now i wanted to connect it back to my phone.
after pairing it back to my phone but it says "can't pair with galaxy watch 4 classic to connect to a new phone you need to reset your watch first, which will wipe all the data."
