[Q] Need Help restoring an Ebay bought GN2 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Forgive, I'm a Noobie here. I bought a GN2 off of Ebay...I'm trying to get a plain old verizon GN2, so I can do the OTA updates...it won't update (looks like it's trying to install a ClockworMod recovery...whatever that is), so I did some looking and found I had an app called Super User...it appears that I'm rooted, so I tried the step by step restoration process over in the developers section, and it fails in Odin. Any suggestions, or point me in the right direction would be great.

You can just flash the new updates as opposed to going all the way back to stock but of thats what you want you might try a different USB port and cord om the computer to rule that out. If it still doesnt work you may try the alternative method in Droidstyles guide, im pretty sure its in his guide under returning to stock, that doesnt contain a bootloader.

You need a computer to go back to bone stock.
It is a hell of a lot easier to use a PC following this.
If you for some reason can't connect to any PC you will have to download around 300mb+ worth of files.
Let me know and I can explain how, not sure if there is a guide for this yet but its simple.

Lol my mistake then
I could've returned it to bone stock. All you had to do was say it. Anyways, the easiest way like others are saying is, to use "Odin" and flash the OEM stuff with the PC.

I would like to know how you did it. My usb connection is very unreliable and it would be good to know how to go to stock if needed.
I think there is a mobile Odin out there or you can download a stock rooted version. I sent the gs2 to tat2messiah in a trade.

I'll post a quick how to with the file, since this question comes up a few random times.
I agree use Mobile Odin or better yet use your PC Odin to re-stock to absolutely new.
And everyone has issues with the USB! Just keep trying it works eventually.

Google Now

Has anyone tried putting Google Now on the Razr HD? It can be run on ICS. I have had some trouble getting it to run properly.
Has anyone else given it a try?

No, it doesn't come stock. It comes stock in Jelly Bean, not ICS. There is a way to get it working on ICS but I can't get out to work on this phone. I also don't want to try anything too crazy until recovery is developed so I can Nandroid.

I'm on the kissing cousin of the Razor HD, the Atrix HD, we don't have recovery yet either, I'm on a stock, rooted, odexed ROM, and the manual method worked great for me. Like I said, "Flawless". If you read through the thread, you'll see some that have installed on odexed ROMs with no problems. The OP stated that while it will work on an odexed ROM, he hasn't tested it out on one.
It's very easy, and painless if you follow the VERY simple instructions to the letter.

If you followed the directions step by step, you should only need to rename your googlesearch apk back to it's original name.

[support] That darn bootloader

Hello.
I know what you are thinking.
Oh no, not another n00b bootloader thread.
Sorry, but sadly it is.
I'm on stock JB 10D MetroPCS MS 769 10d.
I was reading through the Internet, but I'm hard of eyesight and the strain is really starting to stress me. I've never had a phone that seemed harder to unlock(the bootloader). I see many threads and it is really tempting to get a newer rom that will save my battery and all of my troubles.
The only problem is, each tutorial I come across has lead me in a million different directions. Some are dated back from June of this year. I would like an updated method, and of course being the newbie I am, I don't want to try an old method and turn this phone into a paperweight.
I have researched that the T-Mobile ROMs will work on this monstrosity. I know about 2nd init, clockwork mod, have unlocked the bootloader on a tablet. Have been following DROID since Froyo.
I need a sure fire way to do this. I'm sure some of the new guys around here would like a sure fire method.
Let me just brief.
I am familiar with Clockwork mod recovery.
I know basic Terminal Emulator commands.
I run Linux
I know given the right instructions how to Unbrick
My device is currently rooted using the Chinese method, was able to properly install SuperSU and get rid of the Chinese version.
I am aware that the process somehow involves firmware with an inverted screen.
There are so many guides and tools, I've used LG Support tool before, and my final question is...
How the heck do I unlock the bootloader on an MS769 Optimus LG with stock L9 10D firmware?
And yes I've tried the search feature and just got even more confused.
Sent from my LGMS769 using Tapatalk
.lAfter doing some research, I've got everything done up to flashing the 20B firmware this is the point of no return for me. The only thing I haven't done is ADB, but that comes with software mode right before the flash. I'd like to go over this with somebody to see if I have everything set correctly.
Also I need a good copy of the 10D and the European 20B kHz.
... And I'd love to be able to get my paws on the Metro radio... Just in case... For jellybean of course.

Unfortunately there is no simple way to unlock the bootloader, I also have the Metro PCS LGMS769 and managed to unlock the bootloader with a little trial and error and as of the time of this post im running PenberRom5.
Keep in mind that no matter how badly you might screw your phone up, as long as you have a pc and an internet connection you can always restore your phone back to factory settings using the LG Support Tool.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I had trouble with flashing kdz files so I had to go over the tutorials with a fine toothed comb, seems I did not have the small server in the right folder on the root of my C:/ drive. I got 10f flashed, that was my "safe" tester. As long as I can get into software update mode it should be no biggie.
Thanks to you guys as well. Couldn't have asked for better support than on XDA. When I am sure that my internet connection will be reliable, I'll go ahead and follow that guide.
Moving my apps to the SD Card would be really nice. This phone is not very well endowed as far as Internal Storage goes. lol
So yeah to repeat I got KDZ flash working, at least on the "municiple" laptop in the folks house lol. I know what I have to do.
First off, I'm dual booting this old piece of crap laptop I have, it barely runs Windows 7...but it works.

[Q] DNA getting slow, school me please!

I've rooted a few of my previous phones, but my DNA is getting slow on me.
Have had the DNA since it came out, but never got around to fixing it up. I'm really out of the loop, so I need to be schooled again.
I want the speed back in my DNA, what's the best method? Thanks!
*Originally posted this to a different forum when I was reminded of these forums, so to be hasty I just copy pasted my question. Hope to get some feedback while I'm browsing through these forums to try and find my answer.
Are you on the newest update? Are you unlocked? The best way is to either flash a custom ROM and kernel or just flash a custom kernel on your stock ROM.

Check your software version, if you have 3.06.605.4 you will need to head over to Rumrunner.us and follow their procedures and it will fully unlock/s-off your device for you and you will be able to flash w/e you want.

My software is version 3.06.605.4-2.08.605.1...which is the same to a point, so I'm not sure. This the same one you're talking about?
To s-off you need to use the rum runner exploit
Head to rumrunner.us download the exploit for the dna and follow the simple instructions.
From there you will be unlocked and s-off so you can flash a recovery and flash a custom rom to speed up your phone again.

What can I do with my S4?

I just got a new Verizon S4. I turned it on and went through the initial setup. I put my phone down and when I came back I found out that it was almost finished downloading a software update (vrufnc5). I didn't want to interrupt it cuz I heard that can mess things up.
Is there anyway to root the phone? Or somehow roll back to the previous build? I'm not worried about flashing ROMs, I just want root access. Would something like safe root work? I'm pretty sure I know that the answer to both these questions is no, but any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm going to try it today. Another user is supposed to help me through it but I'm not a hundred percent sure that he's going to come through.
Keep me updated. I checked out that thread that you linked to but I'm not really sure which directions you are referring to.

I did the downgrade! I used this video to help me out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZweIJrompdk&index=1&list=FLxv0tpwsgGZLKkTDHG1sC8A
After doing the second flash I did get stuck at the verizon splash screen then did the data reset/wipe which fixed the problem. So now I'm on 4.3.. Now, do I root the phone using safe root and then flash all the stuff to upgrade that Surge posted? Should I restore all of my data/apps or am I going to have to do a wipe when I upgrade back anyway?
