Has anyone noticed odd lines going diagonally through some icons and play store?
Edit : when I run quadrant I get really bad artifacts on the square part of the stairs.
Could it be a driver issue?
Should I return it as a malfunctioning device?

If you would ac tally read the op you would've seen its not only icons. I also get it on pics and get bad artifacts in games. So if your looking to get sarcastic take it somewhere else.

Definitely not a driver issue... It's the GPU failing to render. I recommend exchanging it while you still can, even under severe stress mine does not do anything like that. I'm sad for you mate. What carrier you on?

Apparently you need a hug, there was nothing sarcastic about it. Im sitting here waiting for my phone to come in a couple weeks and seeing someone post graphics issues is unsettling. Of course i read the op, but the point was on the screenshot it is specific to the icons,whatever it is does not impact the background or other graphical parts on the screen which makes me think its not necessarily hardware.

Ty for the input. And my apologies if there was nothing sarcastic intended.
And I'm on AT&T.
Maybe that is the reason the AT&T store said it was a return of a preordered device and allowed me to buy it in store yesterday.
Just stressing out about it a bit.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have an old dx2 that is water damaged. The back light and cdma antenna don't work, but it can be used as a development or testing device. If anyone has a new hack or something that they are afraid to flash just pm me.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for Verizon that I ran Casual on unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and put a custom Rom on. Then it all when to heck!! Loaded CleanRom on it but didn't like the Storage and SD card thing so I Flashed the changeup but apparantley I missed something in there becuse it wasn't right it would put apps on the sd card memory but pictures on the internal memory. Said I was out of space for updates and so on. Couldnt get it fixed and flashed Mean Bean to it. It worked for 3 days and began boot looping and I tried factory restore and It says something about efs files E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument). Sent it to repair shop in Irving Tx. they have had it 2 weeks and they say if they can't fix it by Monday, there going to ship it back to me, still broken. Can this be fixed or do I have a $600.00 paperweight

Thank you very much for the link, looks pretty complicated, I have only rooted 3 phones. 2 Motorola Droids 1 was an X2 and an LG Spectrum. This is very complicated stuff. The shop that had my phone is sending it back to me tomorrow, no charge they say the only way it can be fixed is under warranty, which I have voided by unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.

If anyone knows someone in the DFW area or anywhere who can fix this, send me a link and I will give them a try. I just want my phone working again. It's pretty stupid to be able to keep your unlimited data with Verizon you have to buy a phone at full price. I have a lot invested here!!! Thanks everybody!!

This is really not a very complicated procedure. Everything you would have to do you can look up and find out how to do it via Google. Its better than having to pay $60 to have it JTAGed. I'm not even sure if JTAGing it would be the way to go seeing as how it giant hard bricked and the steps to fix it are fairly explained in that thread. If you cant do what the thread explains find a techie family member or friend, show them the thread and ask them to do it.

I have talked to some cellphone repair people and they all have said that you can't JTAG a Note 2 yet. I appreciate your help, but I took it to Dallas today to the shop, I don't want to take anymore chances.

The people you have been talking to apparently don't know jack diddly ****, look up MobileTechVideos. He is the communities go to guy and has been JTAGing Note 2s for quite a while. Don't believe everything you hear from these repair shops, most of them won't even know what the hell a JTAG is let alone if its available, which it is.
I have a very bad feeling about this shop, I'm pretty sure they're going to screw you pretty hard when you could've sent it off for $60 and had it JTAGed.

Romotx - You jumped into the pool when you started flashing, but then you didn't want to learn how to swim. Did you even try typing the commands in the linked thread? That's how it works you type commands carefully and when you get an error you look that error up and try it again. Got a new error, look that one up, and so on. The more you do, the more help you get here. But it sounds like you were not very careful to start with to bork your phone that bad.
It's too late for you, but for others, when something goes wrong take a step back and take a breath. Do some reading, make sure you understand where you went wrong, and what and why you are doing next to your phone. What ever you did should have been an easy fix at some earlier point in time.
But good luck in getting your phone repaired.

Yes and that link that was posted earlier tells you exactly how to fix it. You just don't want to use it. If you can't get into CWM or TWRP try it on what shows up when you boot into recovery, for Christ's sake it's even telling you to use ADB commands which is exactly what that thread tells you to do. If you had pages attention you would know that.
Instead of taking it to a "shop" that obviously doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground you should listen to the people in the community who have been through this before.

We did help you! You now know that you don't take your phone to a "repair shop"! Lol.
But seriously, listen to dude above, or wait for droidstyle or kintwofan to pop in. They'll answer the same way they do every other time this happens. Search for "bricked note 2 xda" and add "kintwofan" or "droidstyle" to the mix (WILDCARD) and see how many hits you get. Doesn't matter if the symptoms aren't exact - TRY IT.
What bad can happen? You gonna brick your phone? Hell, it may even start working again!?

Its very odd that it was advertised recently then, hmmm I have to see what I can find out.
As for the option that someone else linked earlier, have you tried it yet? It seems like the perfect solution to your problem. Granted you can't get into recovery the screen it shows you tells you to use ADB which is exactly what the fix uses.
As for beating you over the head, what the hell do you expect? You come asking for advice and then don't take ANY of it and act like we are all fools.

I never acted like anybody was a fool. I have been lurking and reading for years on here. I respect everyone's advice here! I have a $600.00 phone that I screwed up,yes thats what you have to do with Verizon to keep your unlimited data plan that they grandfathered you into and now when you want to upgrade it's pay full price for the phone or you get 2Gb. plan, and I don't feel confident enough to fix it like you guys suggest. I have never used ADB, I have never had a brand of phone where you could unlock the bootloader, I'm not a command and scripts and whatever voodoo you guys do to these phones.kind of guy. I can build computers and I have rooted and put roms on 2 other phones. I can't afford to buy another phone and in this backwoods hick town when you talk to anybody about rooting a phone they have no idea what the heck your even talking about.
I have looked in the proper threads , but not finding anyone that has done the bootloader unlock manually in a long time.
Had some odd complications with the one click casual , I know user error right.
I feel I can do this manually if I knew the proper sequence of what to push and install to the phone .
Im pretty confident in my skills with ADB, Fastboot, and Odin.
I also am aware of the dangers . So if anyone would like to chime in Id be grateful.
I have already downloaded the lastest nightly CASUAL jar and extracted it. Just need to know what needs to go where and so forth.
Thanks in advance!

Uhhh.. I had problems with it too cause I run a weird distro that was angering it with paths and versions of various things.
I would up unpacking it, and repacking it and running it that way. It took several attempts to get all the paths right and so fourth. Can you post some straces or logs here and we can see what's horking up?
IIRC, there's a master script in there that does most of the heavy lifting and a lot of dynamically compiled progs and a few statics once you extract it all by hand.

Thanks SamsungSOB. There is another interesting twist add well. If my Internet connection is active. It will not go further than the start text. Click "do it" and nothing. I have to disconnect internet then it will goto download mode and fail trying to push the pit file.

Well there was a case similar to yours where they had flashed stock using the Note 2 Toolkit and it was a pre-release version and AFAIK it had to be JTAGed. Mainly because one user tried doing a lot of stuff and I think the guy who got it back just didn't want to or have the time to fool with it anymore.

Well you would have to send it off to MobileTechVideos to do it.
And just in case you are wondering the JTAG they use for our phones is called a Riff Box, you can find them on eBay for $50-$200 depending on how lucky you are.
The way it works, just in case you don't know how it works with phones, is they pull the MoBo and solder the Riffs little interface wires (they're just individual pieces of ribbon cable) to the phones JTAG contacts. You can actually build an interface for your phones MoBo for the JTAG with breadboard that way you don't have to solder directly to it, AdamOutler has a video in which he uses a Riff box and uses the custom breadboard piece to JTAG the phone (I think it was the VZW S3) back to life.

Ah yes, the most awesome phone back in the days. My dad had it (and still has it), and i remember being so incredible jealous I had a couple of Symbian phones, like the Nokia 3230 and 6600 (aka the egg), but that's about it. I still have the 6600, but it got water damaged, so.. dead. I don't know much about Symbian anymore, but i liked to play around with them and install emulators and dive deep into the internet for those .SIS files
