Sorry to sound even more like noon but what us the Fastboot. Button?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
Um the button you use to connect to fastboot...

Let me change mu question above,

Is the menu button working in normal phone use?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finbaar:
Yep all buttons are working correctly. As I said I can get the phone into fastboot mode but I can't get the PC to see it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chitose_ndy:
I had the same problem,

Try using another usb cable.

I had the same problem and solved by changing the usb cable.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdc:
isolate also by trying another pc. sometimes the drivers get messed up especially if you tinker alot with your pc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finbaar:
I will try a new cable. I tried a new pc and it was no good.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taaviu:
Also some users reported problems when they connects cable 1st phone USB port and second end THEN pc USB port....

Problem seems that, USB port then 1st switch power and after that data and then pc don't recognizes your phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidneylopsides:
I'm now having this problem, did you solve it?

Installed Doomkernel, now no luck with Fastboot.

Tried a different cable, and re-installing the drivers.

Phone goes into Fastboot mode but doesn't work.

edit: fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version returns version: 0.3

Nothing else seems to do anything, just get < waiting for device >
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
I have the T-Mobile Sensation 4G.

I have been too lazy to do s-off/root and put a custom rom on it, since I found the phone to have pretty decent speed so far. But lately I found my phone to be rather slugghish at times, so I decide to do it.

So I followed the guides here, got s-off and root. The first things I did was to remove all the t-mobile bloatwares, slacker and nova. By the time I've done that, it was late at night and I didn't want to stay up all night to backup/restore everything, so I just stopped there and planned to continue the next day.

I have been busy and never really got the time to sit down backing up everything and put a new rom on it. But to my surprise, I found my phone to be much more responsive now. It has been a week now, and I must say I'm very happy about it. All I did was removing the t-mobile bloatwares. Honestly I didn't expect anything from doing that other than free-ing up some insignificant storage space. Can't help but wonder what were the t-mobloat doing to this phone?
[HTC Sensation] The_Green_Android_Robot:
For me, they were doing really fun things like autostarting themselves after I killed them with a task manager, hogging up to 50% of my ram without any way to stop them (before i rooted/flashed cm7), bugging me about tmo stuff, trying to get me to pay to watch internet tv, starting world war 3, launching nuclear weapons, acting as a beacon for alien invaders, and last but not least, opening a portal to Cthulhu.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
Taking up RAM is fine, as long as you have positive amount of free memory and the apps are not taking up processor resources. Free memory = unused resources. There is no point of having more memory if you have several hundreds of free memory lying around all the time. What is important is that the OS will efficiently kill processes and release occupied memory when an active app requires them, and Android is doing a pretty good job on that.

What I want to know is, beside taking up memory, what are these t-mobloats actually doing to take up processor resources?
[HTC Sensation] The_Green_Android_Robot:
They are running things in the background because they are badly coded, they are downloading updates for themselves (without telling you), they are using background data, and opening a portal to Cthulhu does need a lot of CPU time.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
Przekret didn't post a leak. :eek: Friday is just about over..... Going thru Przekret's posts, he's had a leak for us every Friday since UCKJ2. Could Samsung and At&t finally be DONE! I've been patiently waiting every Friday for some new leak, or some news about GB being done, Today "diddly-squat" :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Lol. This is true. They could be done. But as for ATT.... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
I was actually waiting for the next leak to upgrade again too, haha.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
I feel something BIG happening soon. If all stays quite, we should have GB in the middle of December, instead of January 2012. Well lol, the only Xmas gift I want is the Official Gingerbread.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
I sure hope so. I thought it'd be here by now. That would definitely be a nice present though, lol. The deving community would pick up for sure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
I imagine the Infuse forum will get very quiet when the official release day comes. Leaks will be replaced by skinned and modded "officials". There will be no more fights, no more AIDS, crack, or Bernie Goetz. A few futile ICS leaks will appear only to be eventually overwritten by GTG's Official UnGingerbrick because they'll never work right. Ultimately we'll start living vicariously through the Skyrocket threads to hear them ***** about how AT&T is taking too long to release ICS and how the bluetooth doesn't work on their leaks. It will be a strange new world.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Lol, made my day.

I was going to check, but I forgot the samsung url for downloading them from.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
Let's hope they skip 1 more week just to be certain it's done.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
New site for Samsung US phones, they're shutting down the samfirmware.com and moving to http://www.sammobile.com/

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
:O they could be done... or not... or maybe... or not... hopefully... or not... IDK...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
They've been working hard. UCKJ2 - UCKK2 we received pretty steady leaks. For them to skip a week doesn't make sense, their out of time to be skipping updates. I would assume their going thru the final phase "I hope".
[Acer Iconia A500] nycbjr:
I've been messing around on my Galaxy SII (att) with ICS, and well its cool but this is my phone, and I need it to be A PHONE, not a small wireless tablet (no radios are working yet).

I have a iconia a500, I'm no stranger to it or linux, I think I can do it, I'm just not sure how a few things work when it comes to making a port...

I have all the sdk's, src code from git, I can build the full-engineering example (meaning I have a generic rom), what I don't understand is how to link my rom, and a kernel for booting..

do I have to compile a kernel?

This forum seems mighty quiet on this front, most of the other formums are a buzz with alpha's etc.. come on do we have to wait for Acer to do this for us? we can do this!

any advice, or anyone who wants to climb on board, post or message me! we can move this (or create a new thread in devel) once we have something to show for it.
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
You do not necessarily need to compile a kernel but it won't have a working touchscreen. Some changes had to be made in the touchscreen driver to get it working and the only way to get that in is to build a kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] jackie099:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RiverSource:
Hello,

I want to introduce the Sheep ROM. Why? Because I'm not young and I need the money.

View attachment 787132

The Official Part

Everybody is responsible for his Note. If someone bricks his phone with Software or hints out of this thread, it is not my fault.

At least you should take some precautions:

Have an EFS Backup available

Have a CWM Backup available. In case you have to go back suddenly without asking

Have a Titanium Backup. Maybe you have to wipe during flashing. A CWM Backup won't help you, since it flashes the old firmware. Apps and Settings for the new ROM are saved in a Titanium Backup.

What is the Sheep ROM then?

The Sheep ROM is a custom ROM for the GT-N7000 based on Samsung Stock ROMs with the following features:

Deodexed

Zip-Aligned

Pre-Rooted

All apps and feature from Samsung are kept.

(up to 1.2) FM Kernel integrated. The Kernel has CWM 5 and is compatibel to CF Root Kernel (Details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342807)

build.prop Tweaks (smoother, better memory management)

System Tweaks (better IO performance)

(Up to 1.2) All OXX and OXA product codes integrated. 64 at the moment

Bat in %

CRT Off

Fully Connect Icons

(Up to 1.2) CWM flashable

(From 2.0) Extended Power Menu

The CWM Manager App from Chainfire is not included. Flash a CF Kernel in case you have no backup from this App. I recommend using this App.

Themes and all this stuff was not touched by me. But since the ROM is fully deodexed, it should be a good base doing this. Feel free to create Themes for this ROM or modify it as you like!

Downloads

http://78.46.48.107/

Installation

Up to V1.2:

Flash it per CWM. I recommend the CWM App from Chainfire:

Copy the ROM to the internal SD

Start the CWM Manager

Chose "Flash Update"

Select the Sheep ROM

Acknowledge

You can flash the ROM also directly from CWM. Reboot into Recovery and select:

"install ZIP from SD Card"

"choose ZIP from internal SD Card"

select the Sheep ROM Zip

Acknowledge

V2.x:

V2.x and ongoing are TAR files for Odin. They were mainly created to overcome the root issues of KL7 and later Firmware. The archive contains a Stock kernel in order not to increment the binary counter.

Download Sheep V2.x and extract the RAR File. You should see one or more TAR files

Switch off Note and boot into Download Mode

Start Odin and connect Note to PC

Add the Sheep TAR Files as PDA, Modem, CSC in Odin (see Odin flash guidelines if you are in doubt)

Press "Start"

Flashing will take 3 to 4 Minutes in both cases. The first boot will take up to 5 Minutes (it is a deodexed ROM).

Happy Flashing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] rdosti:
Thanks! Can I flash using Mobile Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] faxe78:
Flashed with cwm recovery. Super smooth looks like everything works.

Nice, Need to try this out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] deaad:
Tanks.

Works perfectly.

Exactly as I like it.

Installed with CWM and it didn't wipe anything.

Just needed to install the cwm app, while that was gone for some reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RiverSource:
No. Mobile Odin flashes partition based Stock ROMs. This is a CWM Update.zip.

The Base Firmware and the included ProductCodes. Kernel and Tweaks are the same.

No. At least not intentionally. ;)

The App was intentionally skipped. I appreciate Chainfires work, therefore you should flash the original Chainfire Kernel in order to fetch the App.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] airbillion:
Great job! I was waiting for someone to cook up a ROM.. What is the 2.3.6 base for this rom, KKA or KK9?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] rdosti:
Installed. Thanks so much! Was flawless. Only during reboot saw the yellow warning symbol. Removed the battery and then turned it on and it went to CMW Recovery mode and worked fine! Thanks a lot!

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 AM ----------

KK5. From what I see.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RiverSource:
KKA. I tried both, but KKA was a little bit smoother.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] deaad:
That's what I thought already. But after pushing the cwm apk it works as if I have his kernel already. Just without any limitations.

I don't understand how it's possible, but I'm not complaining.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jason370:
do i have to delete any cache to avoid bootloop?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RiverSource:
Cache and Dalvik-Cache is wiped automatically during install. Thats why the first boot takes about 5 Minutes.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] wai896:
thank you :):):)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RavenY2K3:
If you go to the SGSII theres a program you can use to do it.... Or just copy the EFS folder somewhere. Ideally on your computer in addition to on your SD card, just in case the you loose everything on your phone, including the internal storage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] andyiacovou:
BACKUP!!!

I have found no issues with battery life btw
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sherwink20:
Got relatively good battery life the other day. 50% usage in 12 hours.

however, the phone does not enter to deep sleep the next day.

Went back to stock rom for a while. Will just wait for more development:D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RMXO:
Read the directions a few times until you understand it & backup once you get CWM installed.

But i have a little problem :(

Should i format something, wipe data and cache is enough? :confused::confused::confused:

The ROM itself wipes Cache and Dalvik Cache. This should be sufficient. Of course you can perform a factory reset manually, if you like.

There are many reasons for high power consumption. Therefore is it impossible to give generic hints. You have to analyse your battery Usage using BetterBatteryStats and CPU-Spy and eliminate the Apps causing it.

hi Ive just gotten my Note, and Ive rooted and installed CWM via the guide in this forum (I believe its the CF CWM manager app).

In order to flash this sheep rom, I just need to download it into my Note, run CWM app and flash the rom?

My kernel is KJ6 and android OS 2.3.5. Is it ok to flash the Sheep ROM KJA V1.0 even though Im not using KJA kernel?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RashaMatt:
yes, though it's always a good idea to make an nandroid backup in CWM first.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] galaa:
Thanks for the advice. Managed to flash the rom without any problem.

And thx also to OP for making this rom :)

One last issue, I forgot to backup my CF CWM manager app, so I'm going to flash the CF kernel again. Which version of the CF kernel should I use?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

I flashed using the kja version of sheep rom, now my kernel reads as a FM mernel, which isn't listed in the CF kernel guide. My previous kernel before flashing the sheep rom was a kj6. So should I flash the kj6 CF kernel to get the CF CWM manager?

Edit: Sheep rom kernel is FM kernel, and FM kernel is based off a KJ6 kernel, so I should be using the CF cwm kernel for KJ6 in order to get back the cf Cwm manager app.

Ugh cant decide which ROM needed help plz.

Ok so ive tried only 2 roms so far (xtralite and sheep) and im already too tried to try out another for an hour. From people that have tried the main ROMs for the Note so far...which one has closest stock look? With most apps still there but just better battery life and maybe an increase in performance would be appreciated. I know what they say about its personal likings but i gave up lol :P now im left to the people opinions. Also should i flash abyss or is there anything better than that? What im looking for is overclockable and better battery life. (abyss has overclock to 1704 anything higher?)
