This device is powerful and awesome. Id love to be able to change themes and icons. The bloat ware doesn't get into the way and slow performance down. This devise will do me good for about 1 year to 1 1/2 years than ill upgrade to a new more powerful device.

I will likely wait for a clockwork recovery to start ripping stuff apart.

this is my first sammy product, wife has a cappy that I flash. nota huge fan of touchwiz but its easy on the eyes compared to my past 2 devices, dell streak 7 & 5.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Which model do you have? GT-P6210 (wifi only), GT-P6200 (international 3G) or SGH-T869 (USA/TMobile 3G)?

There's no CWMR for the p6200 (yet), but I've already done them for the other two.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
P6200 3G from malaysia. no rush, patiently waiting. Im more than willing to help with any info needed. Thank so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Are you fluent with a shell prompt? If so, in order to attempt a CWM recovery (based on what I've already done for the p6210 and t869), please run the following two commands as root via adb shell... (and copy the resulting information)

mount

cat /proc/partitions

.. that will give me a hint as to which partition is probably your recovery partition. Send me that info IN A PM. I'll respond via PM with some more commands (based on the info you send me, I'll need you to dump a partition or two and get the images to me.)

Once I have the proper information and images, I can PROBABLY make a successful CWM recovery image (but please understand that I'll have to recompile a kernel BLIND with no possible way to test myself.)

Take care

Gary

I should also mention that I'm going to be VERY busy over the next 3 days, so even if I get the images and all works okay, the earliest I'd be able to have a recovery would be Thursday or so.

Hi, I bought a couple of batteries through ebay that were advertised as being samsung originals. The seller is from Hong Kong and has very good feedback rating.

Interestingly, inside the package came the two batteries I ordered wrapped together in a small bag marked as 'original'. Along, inside the same package came another battery in its own small bag that was marked as 'copy'.

Upon closer inspection of the three received batteries I can say that the third one, the one marked as 'copy' looks as if produced on the same batch as the other two, the only difference being that its label wasn't applied properly as it has a bit of slack.

Now, comparing the three received batteries against the original that came with my phone I found some clear differences. See the picture below.

The first of the received ones is still charging in the phone. I haven't noticed any overheating or anything unusual. I think it will take some time to notice any performance differences though, I'll try to remember and report them here.

Am I right in thinking these are fakes? What do you think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
How much did you pay for these batteries? Real OEM replacement battery should look like this,

I would only trust the sellers on eBay that is from Korea.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gnz:
The ones I got didn't look like those at all. It looks like I was sold fakes. I paid $79 usd per each :mad: I'm still waiting for a reply from the seller before I post negative feedback.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
Are you able to check the weight difference compare to your OEM battery? I have read that China fakes have a smaller battery packed inside and will weight a few grams lighter.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tiamath99:
Man. 79X2 bucks are best spent in drugs and dirty sex. ;)

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

This is actually a brilliant idea. Haven't thought of it before but it makes complete sense. Original batteries should weight exactly the same and different than fake ones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gnz:
Ok, I just checked again and I had paid $79 for the two of them, not each ... so that means I got conned for the right price :)

I don't have a scale but I feel they weight about the same. I just spent a few hours testing one of the fakes and they do have decent performance, I'd say about 10% less than the original.

Still waiting for the seller's reply... funny thing: he does have another listing for the same battery and he includes pictures on how to tell between fakes and good ones so that means he is aware now. I'm still giving the benefit of the doubt here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lolcat12:
Deffo a fake imo.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] webbyboy:
Yes currently only we Korean sellers have original batteries. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Final5k:
so anyone can confirm that this korean seller sells GENUINE battery or does someone have a link to another Ebay seller with genuine batteries?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gnz:
The guy in HK I'm dealing with (yqmama) has apologized for having sent me "B-class" batteries and has now sent me a couple of "Samsung-Original US model" ones. I guess it will take another two weeks for them to arrive. Will be reporting here when they do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] CyberGhos:
Good to hear. I bought the $4.99 one and it looks exactly like yours.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Final5k:
Ok sounds cool...let us know after you tested them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xAnimal5:
You have 40 posts and I'm 99.9% positive that you work for one of the your country's sellers like SGP.....

I would generally disregard sellers that promote their own products.

Anyways, that South Korean Seller has 99.2% feedback and 215 sales, which is crap.

I found a nice OEM battery from a USA SELLER for $30 free shipping and he has

99.5% feedback and 8300+ sales.

You do the math. Instead of taking the word of a South Korean Sales Rep, look at the stats
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dzman:
I just ordered the battery & charger pack from se*stage, Korean seller on ebay. It is listed as GENUINE. $62.99 US. Hope they are not fake ones. It's a little bit risky, there are not many feed backs for this seller yet. I'll report back how they are when I receive them. One of the reasons I ordered from se*stage is I need charger too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xAnimal5:
A US seller from TX is selling them for $30 and be has 8500 feedback with 99.5% positive feedback. I bought one, its better than buying Korean or Chines counterfeits
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dzman:
I knew the US seller has much much better feedback. Just can't wait that long to get it. The US seller uses "USPS First Class Mail International", and the Korean ships with Fedex. I'm in Canada. It takes about one week with Fedex and at least two weeks by USPS. Plus, I need charger too. Anyway, I will warn everyone in XDA if the Korean ships me counterfeits and report to eBay.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xAnimal5:
Thanks. I'll do the same likewise with the TX seller. I was going to go with the Korean Seller until I read the posts of that annoying Korean sales rep.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dzman:
LOL!!! I got exactly the same feeling as you did about that post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] akabbob:
so is the item you're talking about sold by trendzzz?

the print quality of the word 'samsung' looks just like the knock off from gnz's very first post in this thread.

and it looks like it doesn't have the same polarity etching as gnz's original battery

This is all i have to go off right now as my phone hasn't arrived yet (praying it comes today lol) Will check my own original battery and compare when I get it.

just posting this in case someone jumps at buying the Texas battery without looking carefully.

I'm thinking the QR code on the battery could somehow be used to verify its authenticity? Dunno if a consumer can take advantage of this or its just something samsung can do to verify their batteries.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
Another Korean eBay seller just posted the OEM battery for $31.99 which is what is supposed to sell for! I'm sure this is OEM since he sells all Samsung OEM accessories. shimshop.

I'm ordering the charger stand and battery!:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Final5k:
I've previously bought batteries for many phones from ebay sellers claiming its Genuine OEM as well as they claim to sell only genuine accs, but by the end of the day, the batteries/accs were all fake/immitation ones! Sure, they look like the real ones but after usage, you can tell the difference. Genuine OEM comes either boxed or in a similar samsung package that are seen in retail shops.

Batteries with only a plastic that sealed them tend to be fake most of the time...my personal experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dzman:
The battery for my s2 from shimshop early this year was a good one. I ordered battery & charger for my g note already from another Korean se*stage two days ago bebore shimshop started to post on eBay. Anyway, we all should report back let others on XDA know if they are selling something counterfeits.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] akabbob:
I've ordered my GENUINE battery from www_mobilefun_co_uk

althought its been saying 'back in stock in 2-3 days' since I ordered it which was a few days ago. Worked out well for me shipping-wise coz i bought several instock items, and they charged me the flat rate shipping price. Amazing since they've already sent the rest of the items and will send the battery when it comes in stock for no extra charge.

Mobilefun seems like a reputable site, so I am figuring they're batteries will be genuine. Praying the battery comes in stock soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xAnimal5:
Yep you're right and it's an OBVIOUS fake after I tested the usage. It is worse than the $5 knockoff that I bought....

He keeps insisting that it's real and is forcing me to refund it. I hate people who try to sell these damn counterfeits
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gnz:
Reporting in... I've received the two original batteries the ebay seller in HK (yqmama) sent me in compensation for initially having sent me three fakes. One of them looks just like my original phone one, the other looks original but used and is marked as 'not for sale' so I guess it must be a pre-production model or something, it is also missing some of the logos. Both perform just as the original one so I'm happy now.

As of the performance of the fake ones, after several cycles I have the feeling they have around 80% of the capacity of the originals. One of them is physically falling apart though :) I'm not sure if this increases the risk of thermal runaway or something so I'm reluctant to keep using it.

Additionally, I also bought the original battery+battery charger/stand kit from the korean seller (se*stage), it all looks very high quality and I have no doubt about them being samsung products. I was a bit surprised though, that the dock part of the charger doesn't connect to the phone to charge it, it will only charge one battery externally while simply serving as a phone stand *bummer*
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Thor:
They sell them for €32.99 or £24.99 or $35.99.

I bought 3 batteries for around £10 off Ebay. They are clearly not Samsung originals, but do give me around 85% runtime compared to the stock battery. This was far better than I expected.

Beware of the fakes!

Guys, a lot of things on eBay are cheap, counterfeit, ripped off products. I would strongly advice to proceed with any purchases WITH CAUTION! I don't buy expensive items like these on eBay anymore. :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] :
Wish I saw this thread earlier. I got one of the ones from eBay for my galaxy nexus. The polarity marks on both my original and this replacement were only on the label and not the plastic. The weight is identical. But the label typeface looks like these photos. Both my original and the replacement say made in Korea. The little plastic bag said "original". I showed it to my wife....she has enough high-end purses to shake a stick at. She said it didn't look right either so I am getting a refund.

[HTC Desire S] Ben McKinlay:
A couple of days ago I installed MIUI ROM. I decided I didn't like it so today I used Clockwork Recovery to wipe my phone, intending to reinstall Virtuous Unity. However, after I wiped my phone, Virtuous Unity refused to install. I attempted to install Cyanogen 7.1 and the same thing happened.

I then attempted to use the RUU thingy to restore my phone, however it said my phone's battery was to low. I charged my phone and tried again and it said the same thing. However, when my phone is off, it shows the green light.

What is the problem with my phone and is it fixable?
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
hi,

did you do a nandroid backup of the ROM you had installed prior to flashing the MIUI ROM?

Can you still enter hboot and recovery?

If yes, did you try to wipe cache/factory reset, dalvik wipe and battery stats under advanced?

Was your DS fully charged before you tried to flash that ROM after the MIUI one?

Maybe trying a different SD card and ensure that the ROM zip is cpied to the root of the SD card can help.

And never pull the battery....

Hey , I'm new here so ill say hi too. Anyways , a week ago I got a Desire S for my birthday and before i had an ipod touch.

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
this thread is really good

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146601

just give a good read through all the threads in the guide section.

I've found that it's not easy to brick an android device or mess something up. All you need is a backup of your rom (which you'll understand after reading the guides) and you should be safe.
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Well all I need to do is save my ROM? How do I do that?

Also what are kernels and radios and hboots? completely newbie to this..
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Follow the link and read the general guides. If you still have questions then please do ask
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Well I couldn't really find anything about kernels and radios, and to backup my ROM I need a rooted device? What if its too late? How can I know if I have a faulty chip?I don't want to wreck my device...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Well there's not much you can do if your chip is faulty, but you can do things to stop your phone breaking.

Never pull the battery out is a key one. If you have to, try pressing volume up + down and the power button at the same time. There are also other things you should do. Ben Pyett is great with helping about the eMMC problem

The radio and hboot is something you shouldn't worry about. I've never bothered messing around with them and you really don't need to.

Kernels are flashed in the same way as ROMs. Through clockworkmod recovery or 4ext recovery. Whichever you want. All you have to do is choose the right one for the ROM you're flashing ie a sense kernel for a sense rom. In the desire s section you'll find 3 sense kernels and 1 aosp kernel. AOSP are ROMs like cyanogenmod which don't have any GUIs like sense. With two of the kernels ( Hyperion and Endymion) you must choose the right version of sense. Hyperion is for sense 3.0 and Endymion is for sense 3.5 and the unity kernel can be used for any version of sense.

Making a backup is easy. All you have to do is go into recovery and select the backup and restore option and choose backup. You must do this before flashing a custom ROM because if the install fails you'll have something to fall back on.

I've tried my best but if you still have more questions then ask.
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Finally I did it , I S-Offed , I will root soon but before I do , is there a risk of bricking it when rooting? Should I do anything before/after rooting?

Always make a nandroid backup, it just means if anything goes wrong you should be able to restore your phone to it's exact previous state.

Really hope so ^^

Er can anyone send me Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so? Wanna install swype..

Also , my dad really liked the 3.5 update so I tried doing the same on his Desire and well when its reaches "zerging root" it says that it failed with a sad smiley..

Could it be because he has a update available but won't install it? ( As its impossible for him because at the end of the New firmware download it says damaged file or something.. )
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hi :)

I if you use sense 3.5, swype is already built in. Go to the keyboard settings and turn htc trace on.

Swype away!

However if you want full swype, its a beta, I recommend just signing up on their website to get the apk, its free

Not to sure about your dads desire, best bet is to ask the desire forum

[HTC Desire S] :
If your dad has the desire (not the S) and its rooted, be careful putting on anything past android 2.2.

I had the desire, and one of its weakness was a small internal memory compared to the S. Although android 2.3 ROM may go on it, it'll leave next to no room for apps afterwards as they are much bigger ROMs.

If you do decide to go for 2.3, make sure you go for a ROM with an A2SD+ script. This will need some research. It means you need to format a EXT3 partition on the SD card, and the script fools the phone into thinking this partition IS the phones internal memory.
