Group Messaging Option gone - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried the following but I cannot get group Messaging Option (checkbox within stock messaging app) to stick: removing apps, reseting default, format cache, format data, flash back to stock, and odin. The best result occur immediately after flashing via odin but shortly after, the option disappears again.
Any ideas?
Any confirmation that this proble/option persist on custom roms?

Are you on stock or did you flash rom?

I was on Tekhd lollipop rom.... It worked.
Now I'm on stock MM, it works.

Put of curiosity, did you flash or odin to stock? Reason I'm asking is because I'm wondering if my problem is stemming from tmobile sending a shadow update or if my issue is hardware related.

New phone. Old phone messed up

Went ahead and flashed a rom and now messaging option is back. Maybe my problem stemmed from accepting ota rather than not clean flash via Odin.

What sort of set up are you running there?
Stock, non-rooted N1? Or did you upgrade to FroYo over an existing install using Paul's zip? Any applications installed? When is the phone freezing?
Would love to help, but I think we're going to need a little bit more information from you first.

Previously rooted N1 back to stock rom prior installing froyo from Paul's direct install file for rooted N1 because I lacked stock recovery image.
Basic apps installed like ebuddy news apps etc. didn't install anything different from old install.
Like I mentioned phone stalls in while in sleep mode. Need to pull battery. Cannot soft or hard reset phone.
Ive been reading a lot on xda and didnt notice this occurring in pther phones thats y i decided to open a new thread.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Did you wipe? If not, usually a wipe helps. I wiped and have not had a single issue of FC...Freezing or anything. I went from Enom to Wipe to Paul's Zip with Radio.
I have the same problem. Until now the screen stayed black after the other party ended the call. Had to pull battery 3 times.
Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.
Im om pre-rooted frf50 from paul. Gonna try with an older radio..

Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.
I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.
Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.
Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.
You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.
Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

ICS stock reinstall?

If I'm safely rooted on new ics, can I reinstall it by just using mobile odin to flash rom and cf kernel in one step? Don't want hassle of factory reset.
Reason is bc I changed some stuff around and now screen capture failing.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
it is not windows, re-install won't fix your problem
if mobile odin cleared the faulty setting for you then it means mobile odin did a factory reset for you
in this case why don't you just do a factory reset?
Bro I tinkered with system apps and just want to replace the rom files.
Answering my question exactly as it was stated would be much more helpful.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
with the scary bug around I would use PC odin instead.
you did't mention you changed system apps........
PC odin is the safest method right now to flash if u r on effected kernel
I had just tried reinstall stock ICS using Mobile Odin Pro over my rooted stock ICS. Everything ok, root is still retain after flash. Hope this help.

Help doing Ota updating on rooted device!

Got a problem here... Wanted to ota to 4.4 in my rooted, s-off on stock rom.
Flashed stock recovery and downloaded the Ota but it turns to red triangle as its installing.
My question is would this be happening due to having Xposed framework and having Flashed some zips for ad blocking and such? Any feedback is much appreciated!
Also, if that is the issue, would flashing an old backup work if that was prior to using Xposed and such?
Please help! Thanks!

In order to take the ota you have to be on a stock rom

Maybe. The ota might check what's in the system partitions such as apps and such and if there's anything that usually isn't there when the phone is stock it might not update. I asked on the Verizon forum if it's possible to update after deleting some system apps and they said no but I've never tried it.

I eventually was able to update. I restored a backup I did before root, right after unlocking bootloader.
also, I used an old stock recovery. I found the most recent stock recovery and used that and it worked. so still unsure what exactly caused my problems but using the latest stock recovery and using unmodified stock rooted rom worked.
thanks for the response though, much appreciated. definitely soft bricked my phone few times before getting it done. phew...

bricked?

I've got the Note 4 N910T3
I rooted, via the beast kernal. Everything was going fine until I decided to factory reset (had a few programs go haywire)
factory reset went fine, I reinnitialized android with my google information. Rebooted the phone, and now I'm stuck at "custom binary blocked by frp"
It's my fault for not rechecking the option in developer settings, but its too late
I can get into download mode, but simply booting, or getting into recovery give me that error.
what can I do to get my phone booting?
Odin back to stock I guess?

I'm willing to give that a shot, but where would I go about finding the stock odin file? the only files I can seem to find are modded ones for the N910T, not the N910T3
Dont know if this link is legit, but check it out

That would be the factory reset protection, you need to odin the stock images back on, run through the setup as fast as possible, open developer options, and turn on OEM Unlocking. From there you can flash whatever you'd like. The FRP will also block insecure kernels, and recoveries from being loaded.
That's exactly what I did. And it worked. This just so happened to be the first and only phone I've had with frp. Learn something new everyday.

Return to Stock

I am looking to return my tablet back to stock so I can watch Google movies. I have a wifi t710 tab2s. I have rooted it, installed a custom kernel, recovery, and rom. When I try to flash either one of these stock firmware 5.0.2_T710XXU1AOG5_T710XAR1AOG6_XAR.zip or 5.1.1_T710XXU1BOH7_T710XAR1BOH7_XAR.zip in Odin it fails.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance.
Never mind. I got it.

It's a tad annoying when people do that and don't explain how they fixed it so I'll try and elaborate on his behalf. :banghead:
Basically it seems he was attempting to flash the zips in Odin. Odin requires tar or md5 files. I'm guessing he realised he had to extract the tar from the zip file first then flash.
I hope it was something else cause I have extracted the zips

Yea, I should of explained how I did it. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly how I did it. I believe I ended up using Samsung Smart Switch or Samsung Kies 3 to return it back to stock. There is an Emergency phone recovery option in both programs that will restore your device back to stock.
When I plug it into smart switch it says not recognized.
