Need a bit of advice.... (Not my Note btw, seriously! I friend bought one after seeing mine). He's a total rookie (yeah I'm close to it too)... but I encouraged him to root anyway..steered him to this thread. And others. I mean really how hard is it?!

He did Monday.

He tried moving to KAA yesterday and all hell broke loose.

Well I have his phone for the last day or two... and it's totally stuck on the triangle screen.

I extracted from him that he clicked format system before wiping.(don't ask why). I think that's the culprit?

Anyway I can buttonhold to recovery still...and also can use Odin on pc to seemingly flash anything which seems to successfully flash but it will not bootup.... Just stays locked on the triangle screen no matter what I try.

Tried unrooting via doomswhatever...looked successful...same result.

Anyone with some direction on getting out of this gets double Thanks on Turkey Day!

Cheers

I tried to flash the kka with odin mobile, and my phone just went to black screen with red and green dots, and then brighter and brighter... Did not look good.. After a while i turned it off with powerbutton. Then the phone was dead.. No recovery mode, but luckily download mode still worked. I then tried flashing the kka with odin (pc) but got a Fail! when it reached factoryfs.img. Same thing when i tried kk9.. Bricked was my initial thought but then tried to flash an older kf3 that i had and it came thru.. Now its working again:)

What happened? Is my galaxy s2 not compatible with these newer versions??

hahaha morten82.. you make my day..:D

done updated my firmware using CWM and CF Root kernel..cool!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] vayu:
Could you detail steps

I put both the firmware and the CF version in the folder

Went through the steps identified by Chainfire i.e.

- Flash stock firmware

- Option to choose which kernel to use (picked the zImage, although had the tar file also just in case)

- Chose the option to flash normally

I get yellow boot triangle with the android green guy , phone reboots into the previous firmware

Tried every combination above, i.e. after selecting the modified kerned, preroot option as well as keep existing kernel option..no go

Does this process even work or is the intention that we have to buy the mobile odin version to do the upgrade

thanks for all inputs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ara_ffat:
I put both firmware. tar.md5 file and zimage from CF into 'firmware' folder..

Run cwm as method given. ..same as u wrote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] vayu:
Okay please confirm what you picked in each of these choices

Did you select Flash stock firmware

Did you select the zImage or the .tar file for the select source file for kernel prompt

What did you select next in the prompts

Flash stock firmware

Keep CF-root kernel

Pre-root system

Flash normally

FYI I tried all permutations and combinations as above and I get a tiny yellow triangle and the green guy on every attempt during the flashing phase

Any help/insight is appreciated

I went from stock KJ4 that came with the Note to KK9 using Kies and then applied CF's modified root kernel for KK9 to root and CWM with no problems. But I can't seem to be able to use CWM for the KKA upgrade and Kies does not offer this firmware as an upgrade for me. Otherwise I could have just upgraded and then used CF's KKA kernel to getback root and CWM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jonnybruce:
Went exactly same route as you vayu.

And am getting the same result (or lack of one!)

Wonder why it wont flash?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] vayu:
Perhaps CF want's us to use the mobile odin app available in the market?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jonnybruce:
Have got that app.

Won't flash with that either.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ara_ffat:
My steps.

- create firmware folder in external sdcard

-copy both firmware. tar.md5 file and CF KKA kernel zimage file into it

-open CWM than select flash stock firmware

-it warns abt bootloader file and will skip it

-than it request to select kernel,select zimage

-than select flash normally..

-it runs and i have no problem until it reboot again with my data intact.

I belief it is same steps than CF write in his procedures..

Give it a try again..

You left out the part about extracting on your computer so you can enter the password, and then place in firmware folder
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] vayu:
Did exactly the above previously but during the boot up process / flash process it fails instantly

I think I am going to try the PC Odin and update since the firmware is an official Samsung release and then use CF's modified kernel to root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] satawat.thongsawat:

Flash firmware first, then kernel.

I then 7zip the zip with the ********* password.

to N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5

Then I copy this file to /sdcard/temp/

(I am quite sure file were copy correctly.)

and try MobileOdin Pro, I am rooted, no CWM

Anyone any idea?

Can someone do and post a CRC / MD5 check on the .tar.md5 file?

Thanks.

My apology, it was file problem, I cross checked the copied file to the original file, it WAS corrupted... it is now flashing!!! thanks!

simple solution, do not root without a way to unroot. that may be flashing back to stock or running a similar unroot script. For now all rooting on the SR is using the same exploit... try the superoneclick.

Then a message popped up in my browser saying to continue using the mobile ap I need to add it to my plan for 14.99.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
No they changed it all its an added feature now. I got wifi tethering for root users tho. So I think everyone should get it maybe have it included in roms too seeing as tmobile are being cheap *****es now
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
It sounds like it's not the wifi app that's doing it, but the t-mobile data servers. I imagine they're acting as a captive portal, redirecting pageloads from a browser with a desktop user agent to their nag screen or something along those lines. I use a Sidekick 4G with the stock firmware and wifi app up here in Canada on the Wind network and it's been working fine.

(BTW, Wind beats the crap out of any American carrier! Their plans include free tethering.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bipoler:
Networks are greedy they suck.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
A lot of the android browsers are able to set user agent as desktop so I doubt it's that. They have blocked the free tether apps from the market and only provide theirs so I think it's just them monitoring their app.

BTW I'm jealous of your free tethering, as soon as the carriers heard people were doing it here they were quick to monopolize on it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Well, if t-mobile is able to interfere with wifi tethering even when you use a third party wifi tethering app, then there must be something else at play. I can't say what though as I'm not on t-mobile.

<brag> Wind is even better than that. $40.00 after tax for unlimited calling, unlimited long distance to US/Can, unlimited text messaging to anywhere on earth, unlimited data with tethering. And I get that whenever I'm connect to a Wind tower, anywhere in Canada. It doesn't distinguish between my home city and another. And no contract. It's prepaid! </brag>
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
What I mean is they block them in the actual market, like you can't download them. They have no way of monitoring 3rd party apps, that's why I think almost all US carriers have capped data so they can try and stop some.

Not fair man, US needs to get on bord with the contract free stuff. A cheap cell phone plan here for unlimitted is $80 a month and that comes with a 2 year contract, at&t and verizon charge around $120 for unlimitted
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Have you tried sneaking one of the third party apps on to see how it works?

That's staggeringly awful. This is the most featureful cell phone plan available, and it's $40. I'm told that people in another province got the plan for $35 at one point.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Yeah we have to side load the apps, google search and download from the browser. I've had a copy in my sd card since the g1 days when things were good lol.

We also have at&t trying to buy out t-mobile which would more than likely drive prices up further. there are a few pay as you go carriers that offer cheaper plans for unlimitted data and text (around $40) but the minutes are rarely unlimited, the data is slower, and they are buying towers off the bigger companies so coverage is usually terrible
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:

I dunno man, I got 2 unlim calling lines and 2 lines with their own 500 minutes. All 4 lines have unlim SMS and data (throttled after 2gb), and I pay $132. BUT, I'm on contract. Shoot, for these prices I'd sign up for a 20yr contract lol.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Yeah that's the only way you can get a good deal, if you have several lines on an account. Unfortunately us americans aren't into the whole "sharing" thing so finding people to sign up with you tends to be difficult ;P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] oldarney:
What?

EDIT: Only post paid costumers have that issue... prepaid still doesn't have the tethering service available... so it is enabled by default. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/addons...PAsset=InternetEmail&tp=Svc_Tab_TetheringWifi

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about... I'm wifi tethering and I've never seen that message. I only tether to a linux computer though. I'm also on the $30 5GB 4G prepaid plan, with unlimited text and 100 mins (I voip with grooVe).

Maybe they are attacking specific customers... I don't think wifi sharing is even an option for prepaid. Perhaps I should stop paying a month in advanced.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
The way tmobile explained it to me was they noticed ppl using it and changed their service if your using it and not getting the message its only a matter of time according to the reps I spoke to. I'm thinking the more data you use that gets picked up as being sent through mobile ap the quicker they catch on and slap you with the message and put a stop to it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
So I'm still getting the tmobile page when I tether to my computer even when using wif tether for root users... this sucks :-/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yulzopolis:
I'm on T-mobile prepaid monthly 4g plan, rooted running GingerClone ROM on my Sidekick 4g, and I've had no problem tethering. (mostly just testing it out to see if it works, running speed tests etc.)

I can see how T-mobile cracks down on post-paid plans running stock software, but with a prepaid plan on a wifi-sharing-capable phone with a custom ROM, I'm in the clear, right? T-mobile can't block tethering or charge me for it?

But ya, charging $14.99 to tether using data that you're already paying for is a complete scam. Seems like a class action suit waiting to happen.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
As I suspected, it's not the T-mobile wifi app itself which is causing the problem. Do non-browser programs still connect and work on your laptop? And what happens if you change the user agent of your laptop's browser to a mobile one?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] boss2688:

[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Put the CWM file "PG58IMG.ZIP" on the top level of the SDcard. Then go into the HTC recovery (Poweroff/battery out & power on with volume down) and it should install itself.

EDIT: After the phone reboots make sure you rename/delete the file.
[HTC Sensation] cryin:
Did you follow this Thread ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

It works exactly like explained in step 2.

STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8

1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload

2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)

3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)

4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"

5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)

Thanx to xi VipeR ix
