UPDATE: Up until yesterday, my phone was stuck on the Samsung logo. I used Odin to flash the original Carphone Warehouse Gingerbread Rom. The phone then became stuck in a loop of unresponsive processes and wouldn't boot up. I decided that this was due to the Google Apps on the phone being a newer version than the O/S (I have not factory reset). Kies would not connect to the device in this state, so i used Odin again to flash the stock UK Jellybean Vodafone Rom. My phone now boots, and most settings/apps appear to have been kept. However, some system apps, i.e. messaging, force close. I think this may be because the APN's etc are now on Voda settings. Unfortunately, 'settings' is also a process which force closes!
Basically, at the minute, I'm looking for a way to a) stop the force closes to manually change settings, or b) flash the UK unlocked JB Rom - I can't find this Rom anywhere.
Hi all. Hope somebody can help me.
I have an unlocked Galaxy Note, which has always run stock, up-to-date, Samsung firmware. Yesterday, I was attempting to use the satnav, and had the phone plugged in via car charger. The battery was low, and the satnav wouldn't connect to GPS. In the end, it became unresponsive, and I reset it. Now, the phone will only boot as far as the Samsung logo. Additionally, when it is charging, it doesn't show the bar climbing the battery - only the status (currently over half full).
I can get into recovery and download modes, but I'm really wanting to avoid a full reset/wipe, as I have some texts which have great sentimental value (yes, I know, I should have backed these up).
Other threads which are similar seem to point to Odin and an earlier stock ROM - I've downloaded the original ROM my phone would have had and Odin, but want to know 1) is this the best way to go and 2) what do I do next?
Thanks.
