[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jofel:
No, ist very very unlikely to brick your phone just because you go from stock (or modded stock) or whatever to Cyanogen,

If something goues wrong, you can (nearly) always flash a stock Firmware via ODIN.

As far as I know its almost impossible to brick a modern Android Phone. Except you do do some really "deep" stuff.

But you should wipe your phone when you go from Stock (or modded Stock) to Cyanogen.

And you should flash the Cyanogenmod Rom twice because its using a new or modded version of clockworkmod.

There is a step by step discription in the Cyanogenmod Wiki.

I hope that Information helps a bit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneMo:
How to

1.just download latest nightly of cyanogemod and put it on SDcard...Link for latest nightly here: (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/cm_galaxys2_full-94.zip)

2.enter CWM recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset,,, wipe cache,, wipe dalvik cache(it is in Advanced option in CWM main menu)...so yes wipe out all stuff first

3. install nightly .zip file from sdcard

4. install nightly .zip file from sdcard AGAIN...REALLY DO IT OR IT WILL NOT BOOT

5. reboot phone from recovery and you will be in CyanogenMod 7 ROM

PS: do not be afraid about SpeedMod kernel....flashing cyanogenmod nightly .zip also flashes CM7 Stock kernel for you :)

PS: You can try Siyah kernel 2.1 beta 14 (http://www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/test/Siyah-v2.1b14-CWM.zip) info here: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263838)

I am using this kernel since beta 12 and no problems :)

PS: Speedmod is name of kernel = core of android system...Cyanogenmod is a ROM = phone firmware

You can ask me again if needed..or send me a PM :)

If you managed to get Speedmod onto the phone, then you shouldn't have any other problems.

There's probably others, but certainly JKay's themes/deluxe settings app have a setting for disabling home button double click.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] faaborgs:
Hi,

I had a chance to spend some time with a sample version of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Since it was a sample I can not comment to much about that part, but I did write down my thoughts on the hardware and using a 5.3" unit as a phone.

If you feel like reading a bit about it you will find it on my blog, ftechviews.blogspot.com

/Faaborg
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alexcarterkarsus:
Thanks for sharing us, I especially like the part you explained about the UI being scaled up to fit the higher resolution screen :)

Though now I wonder, does the bigger screen and higher resolution really bring about any "real"and tangible result, for example, when you open the browser, can you see the letters clearly without zooming in? Also, I wonder if the stylus would fall out easily... thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
Thanks for sharing that, I'm about to buy either a note or nexus, I really want the biggest screen possible yet still be able to carry it around in a pocket like a phone. You have convinced me the note will be ok :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] faaborgs:
The browser is one one of the few places where the high resolution is put to good use. You can see most of a webpage, but the font is really small. Its readable but hard to read. Zoom ones or turn the phone in to landscape helps.

On the sample I had the stylus was almost impossible to get out, so no I would not say that it falls out easily.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Owers:
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I've been eager to hear about how this device will perform, so news like this is appreciated.

You've already answered one question about the stylus, but how is it secured specifically? Is it magnetic or simply held by plastic? Also, how was the battery life? That's perhaps one of my major concerns so far, and I assume you've had enough time to get a basic impression.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Here is another site where someone owns a Note and has shared his experience:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-note/432191-i-have-got-galaxy-note.html
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] faaborgs:
The stylus is not magnetic, but is locked in bu the plastic around it. Battery life was good for such a big device. I could easily use it for an entire work day, including travel time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
Could you also test the audio quality via headphones out. was it excellent, very good, good, average or bad. How was it compared to the best mobile phone player u ve ever heard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pachi72:
Would there be a 32gb version coming out??? ANyone.?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] faaborgs:
Regarding audio I primary used it for audio books. The quality is good, and the output volume it better than average. Its not the best I heard, nor is it the worst.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
then that means probably it uses the same crappy audio DAC as the galaxy s2. thats very sad !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wonsanim:
Thanks I planning to buy a New device but you really help me to make a better decision.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mddsd:
Faaborg, did you have any chance to test the videoplayback on the device?

I read somewhere that playing MKV in 720p on the device showed some lagg, which is very dissapointing if it's true...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] faaborgs:
For some strange reason, what I can't explain, I did not get around to testing video playback. Sorry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
Did you see any lag while using the stylus? And was navigating through the homescreens etc. as snappy as the S II ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] faaborgs:
There was a little lag when using the stylus, the experience was very much like the same as the HTC Flyer. All UI navigation was super quick and the same goes for installed apps and the browser.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nerve101:
I was thinking about getting the note, since i want a tablet and want to change my phone. Though they have not yet told anyone what market they are putting it to.

I wish they could say which carrier it would work with in USA.

The size is perfect, its thin and has a what seems to be a great pen to use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] malosn:
Yes.for sure it will be available in 32GB later.

FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY (CWM) FROM LGMDP

FOR LG P500 / OPTIMUS ONE ONLY

This method works for all unrooted p500/optimus one and p500/optimus one devices stuck in emergency mode.

DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!

download lgmdp : Download here

download clockwork recovery (5.0.2.0): Download here

1. disable lg modem ( in device manager->modems)

2. now connect your phone to pc. (If phone not booting into rom connect in emergency mode, turn off phone and press (volup+return+power) buttons simultaneously)

3. start lgdmp

4. click "select port"

Phone will be automatically detected press "connect"

(close the pop up window of image select generally you will get it on connect of lgmdp)

5. backup nv for safety (tools->nv backup) {ignore this step when phone connected in emergency mode, i did ignore this and found no risk of loosing nv}

6. extract downloaded recovery into a new folder

7. select the extracted recovery folder as "image folder or select image" in lgmdp

(it gives some errors as other files are not present, donot worry as we are only flashing recovery those 2 files are enough, files "recovery" and "partiton" will be automatically checked and others gray out)

8. Close the selection window and press "download" (in main window of lgmdp)

DONOT DISCONNECT YOUR MOBILE UNTILL IT SHOWS DOWNLOAD COMPLETE AT BOTTOM

it shows in middle trying to connect to phone etc. donot touch the phone it will be automatically connect everytime.

AFTER DOWNLOAD COMPLETE your device should boot into recovery

1. switch off your device

2. pressing (home+vol down+power) buttons simultaneously should boot into recovery.

now install whichever rom you want and enjoy :D

Tested on O1 having baseband v10 and v20 also, from normal boot and emergency mode as well and it works.

hi

i tried to update firmware through kdz updater.

it erased the c drive but then due to some error my phone is not starting even in emergency mode.

i tried all possible combinations of hard keys.

luckily its under warranty.

but i dont know any convincing reason that the service center would accept.

plz help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:

I tried from another computer, it's doing the same exact thing. Any other ideas?

Thats what happens when I click download, when I click Select Image, nothing is happening at all. In recovery should I be mounting anything?(data, sdcard, cache, system). Or should I be mounting the USB Storage? I am just baffled, I must be doing something simple wrong, as it seems pretty straightforward.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:
I think you are not selecting partion.mbn, download the recovery zip once again and follow below:

there are 2 files in zip, recovery image and other is partition.mbn.

Make sure both the files are selected and ticked while image select.

partition.mbn will be selected in partition table,

recovery.img will be selected in recovery image,

then close the window of image select and press download.
