Before you install xrecovery don't forget to root first I would use flashtool 0.4.2 for this check out the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 The bootloader as i understand it is basically the very start of the bootup loads the kernel then the ROM loads. The white Sony Ericsson logo when you fist power on the phone is generated by the bootloader. A couple of reasons to unlock the bootloader are to load custom kernels faster an they are more stable this way instead of the bootloader bypass method. Some ROM's e.g Cyanogenmod need an unlocked bootloader I believe. BEWARE I heard of people bricking there phone during the unlock process i would do plenty of research before unlocking. I would have a read of these threads before unlocking your bootloader http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254087 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253277&highlight=unlock+bootloader+proper+method . I still have not been game enough to unlock my bootloader yet phone still under warranty thought. Good luck nothing wrong with being a noob we all start some where I am a noob too just with lots of reading and experimentation behind me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamode:
Thanks !

Okey well im going for this:

1. Flash 2.3.3 Rom using flashtool

2. Install xrecovery using flash tool

3. Install Alexander's miui by using custom zip in xrecovery (right?)

That should be it? Do i really need to unlock boot loader? Dont really want to mess anything up
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspiras:
Firts root and then install xrecovery;) Don't install Alexander miui version 11, wait tomorow. 11v have many bugs:/ Don't afraid nulock bootloaders, just read instructions, not rush and everything be okay;)

How do i install kernel ? :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlegreenrobot:
You don't need to install a kernel yet you have the stock kernel installed already from the 2.3.3 install. Have you put the phone in flash mode before you try and root it. If not put it in flash mode then try and root. Note the op posted is using the old version of flashtool so it will look a bit different.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspiras:
In that post all write just read;) You know how put phone in flash mode?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamode:
Nope.. The root option in flashtool is just greyed out no matter if im in flash mode or not.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kannan.Balasubramanian:
I am planning to backup the SGSII stock ROM as stock as possible.

I belive there are 2 options to backup the stock ROM.

1. Clockworkmod

2. RomDump

My question is, in Clockworkmod the recovery manager is modified and in RomDump, the application itself is installed and when the ROM backup is done, in both cases will the changes like recovery manager, RomDump app will also be in the back up ?

If so then I belive in addition to rooting, these are also the changes in stock ROM backup and when restored the system will not be as stock. Right ?

Is there anyother method which can take the backup as stock as possible ?

I belive RomDump would be the most nearest to stock ROM. Correct me if I am wrong.

PS: I know we have stock ROMs available for download. But I want to have my phone's version.

Hi there,

I take delivery on Monday and I will reply.

I also got from HandTec. My total CAD for phone and shipping came to $776. I am expecting some heavy duties. I can understand the Gov. charging huge duties on items available in Canada for purchase through a Canadian retailer, but the Note isn't.

My budget was 1k, so I think we HandTec things are going to work out just fine.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidNitrogen:
I ordered mine through Basatne Electronics, who are based in Mississauga. I called them up several times and managed to find out that they have two warehouses - one in Mississauga and one in Hong Kong. From the feel of the conversation, the Galaxy Notes they have are almost definately located in Hong Kong. However, the employee reassured me that even if it was shipped to me from Hong Kong that I would not pay duty or whatever since I paid sales tax.

Their price is pretty reasonable, at least compared to ebay, and they're based in Canada (and close to me) so if I end up having a really big problem with the phone or their service I can just drive down and talk to them in person.

My order came out to $1,010.22 total including tax and the free Fedex Express Priority shipping. Should arrive on Tuesday.

I would post a link to their website but new users aren't allowed to post a link so... yeah. Google it I guess.

To find the Galaxy Note just search it in the search box on their site.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveblue:
warranty though

While there are a number of good sources for us Canadains ( and Americans) to purchase the Note - the bigger is the Warranty. I am hearing everything from no warranty on new phones from some sources, to a 90 dasy from the place you bought it, to a Samsung warranty ( 1yr or 2 yr) but you have to work with the purchasing company to mail it back to the country ( UK, Germany). I have also heard that there is NO Samsung warranty in the states or Canada - only other countries.

So have people cleared up a warranty in Canada issue.

For those of you who have had these devices G Note for a while, which one is better: N-7000 or I717 ???

N-7000 is the international one and people brag that it will get Ice Cream Sandwich firmware sooner and performs much faster than the I717.

I am on Fido and also have a Bell SIM card. Which version would be best for me to buy? I have to buy out of contract so I prefer unlocked.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
I've been reading about how lower MP can actually mean better low light performance and this camera may just beat the 8MP competition. Zero-shutter lag being really awesome too.

But then looking at the photos taken with it by an Android developer...

https://plus.google.com/photos/107606703558161507946/albums/5669407328146570481

Where is this awesome quality? Those pictures look no better than what my Galaxy S takes.

Not only is this outclassed by the 8MP camera in the S2 and iPhone 4S, it may be outclassed by the old 5MP Galaxy/Nexus S.

Those photos seem to have more noise and odd colour compared to photos from my Galaxy S.

Low light photos look like they might be better, but overall these don't look good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I don't know how people manage to compare image quality between different phone cameras - they all look equally terrible to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not sure how you can make a quality call based on 1 phone and 1 person operating.

How can you tell without having side by side shots of the same scenes at the same time with 2 or 3 different devices?

I find it

extremely

hard to believe that the Galaxy Nexus would have the same camera performance as the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
Do you need to put a Mini and a bus side by side to tell which is bigger? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
How is that comparison even remotely similar? Size difference can be seen in anything but pitch black.

Would you be able to determine if the Mini and the bus were the exact same color (exact nuance) in completely different light? No, probably not and even then you are basically cheating because your brain will adjust the colors you see based on what it "knows" other things should look like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That only works because the size of a Mini and a bus are known values (relatively). The quality of this camera is not a known value, and because of that you can't make an accurate comparison.

By this analogy, you're saying that you can look at a photo of one car, and immediately tell me if its the same as another car you've never seen...

This :P

People love to jump to conclusions that its a bad camera because its 5MP, and then from that initial point, they simply assume everything it does is terrible. I wonder how the tables would be turned if it were a low quality 12MP camera, and every picture it took was sh*t but everyone just said it was amazing. People see what they want to see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
Just wait until the galaxy nexus comes out, and then you'll see the true power of the 5mp camera they put in it. It will be a great shooter.
