[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentttt:
Is there any way I can just put the zip onto my sd card and flash? Because the radio thread in dev says I need to put it into adb folder, and I have no idea how to use Android sdk...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnote74:
First check file with am md5 checker then put file on root of sd card then boot into bootloader then flash it from there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentttt:
I tried it and the hboot loaded the thing but got stuck in parsing sd zip
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnote74:
Might be a bad download I would try re downloading it again. Do you have the engineering bootloader?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentttt:
What's the engineering bootloader?

my bootloader (im assuming) looks somewhat like this:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
...wait you have a SENSATION?????

not the Mytouch 4G??

btw, yes you do have the Engineering bootloader, as it says "eng"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentttt:
nah i dont have the sensation, i just googled bootloaders to find a bootloader that was similar to mine. does having an engineering bootloader make a difference?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
...lol ok...

the Engineering bootloader, on the MT4G i think is 0.85.2007.

the Engineering bootloader gives you flashing rights, i.e changing the splash screen, radio, recovery image using adb... etc. i'd highly recommend it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentttt:
still no luck. are there any roms out there that I can flash that end up changing my radio in the process?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Nope, but learning how to use adb really isn't hard. I'd suggest reading trublue_drew's thread in the dev section called adb for dummies.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick_hunter:
I would follow this tutorial if you're still unsure about flashing radios. It's a really simple and easy process, but you have to follow directions TO THE LETTER. Otherwise, you might end up with a fancy, expensive paperweight.

Can anyone guide me step by step procedure to root and install CWM on XXLA4 ROM, i havnt rooted my phone yet. and binary counter should not get effected.

Thanks in advance. i dint find any simple procedure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi98228:
you on LA4?? you cant root LA4 you have to be on lower firmware then root and then upgrade to LA4
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
k. am downgrading Firmware to KL3 , and i need procedure. but mainly it should not effect binary counter.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
It's not possible to root LA4 directly at the moment, so you'll need to downgrade your device first:

- Download a firmware that's rootable from here.

- Download Odin from the link provided above

- Enter "Download Mode" on your device by shutting your Note completely off, then press and hold Volume Down + Home button + Power button

- Start Odin

- Unzip the firmware (the zip file you just downloaded), and you'll end up with a md5-file

- Go to Odin and click "PDA" and choose the md5-file

- Press "Start"

- Wait

- Done

Now you can root the device and get CWM, so go to this thread and do the "I Want ROOT + CWM" at the end of the first post.

- After you're rooted download LA4 again from the first link in this post

- Transfer it to your Note

- Open CWM on your Note

- Flash it

Done. You now have a rooted LA4.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
Thanks for Reply and i want to make sure whether this method adds binary count or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
No it won't.

Just make 1 thing clear. binary count raise only, If you flash any custom ROM/Kernel with PC Odin.

Follow LordManhattan's advise and still once refer Installation guide in detail in post #2 n 3 of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Just to add, Downgrade Firmware shud be direct rootable. (before KL7), N if particularly i specify, I can say Downgrade first to indian ROM KL1, I have flashed this ROM in at least 5 Notes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
That means Flashing Custom ROM using CWM doesn't effect Binary Count rite??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi98228:
if you flash using CWM or mobile odin it wont if you do using oding from PC it will still not sure about official firmware
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
I'll make it easy for you: No it doesn't effect the binary counter :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasad.adam:
Partial CWM?

Yep, this is what I did after going through Dr. Ketans post. I now have rooted LA4 , but my CWM app and recovery is only partial. I do not have option to do backup/restore on CWM on LA4. Is it a universal problem? Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Go to 1st link of my signature 'how to root.." select I have LA4 kernel scenario, download it and reflash kernel, select I am already rooted. it takes just few seconds
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasad.adam:
Thanks ketan for the response. Will give it a try soon and revert.

Edit: worked like a charm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corininha:
Hey,

Dr.Ketan, can you tell me please if there is a chance to root the original LA4 (never changed rom) if I don't have access to a Windows and only to a Mac?

I only want to root it for the basic tweaks and apps. Don't need a custom rom at the moment. I want to root it and use it as is while I wait for the official ICS.

Thanks. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
There is no Queston of window or Mac,LA4 is non rootable, to get root, first u need to downgrade older rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corininha:
Thanks. I got ahead of the events. :) I didn't meant that. I meant if I can do the procedure of downgrading and everything I might need to do in order to root or to install a custom rom or another stock using ONLY my Samsung Note and a Mac.

Q1: I can downgrade using a exclusively a Mac with Lion on it?

Q2: If the answer to Q1 is affirmative, can I root it after downgrade also using only Lion on Mac?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
I have never heard mac pc odin. Plz google for it. So without pc odin you cant downgrade.

Yes there was review i read, got root with mac. You just read my thread how to root...(u may find from my signature), i remember i have post a link somwhere, how to root using mac.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corininha:
Yes, I saw there was one root with mac solution, but works only if the Note is rootable. LA4 is not. So I must downgrade first. :))))))

Nevermind, I'll try to do it with Windows, somehow. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriswilson_m3:
I am also new to this, and this thread is very clear. The bit I do not understand is what Kernal I should be running. Custom roms available can have a variety of kernals e.g LA3, LA4 etc. Do i have to choose a rom that has a kernal compatible with my phone? is there some rational to running one kernal vs another? I notice that it may be possible to flash a rom and keep a previous kernal e.g a CF kernal. is this advisable? your advice would be very welcome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
You don't need to flash a new kernel. Most of the custom ROMs includes a custom kernel that's good enough, but if you're interested in testing a few of them then you can do it without any problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corininha:
Now is when I am lost. I did all the above (thanks, by the way) and I run KKA now. I had LA4 (Germany) when bought it, then downgraded to root.

Now I am rooted but when I try to update firmware with CWM, nothing happens. I have to put the ZIP in the Note or the MD5? I tried with the MD5 two times.

Is there something I do wrong? Is any other method apart from CWM? I mention that when I downgraded and first booted, CWM said something about "not being compatible and some functions were disabled".

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I couldn't work it out as expected and I went back to my original LA4 (Germany).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissaor:
Hey Guys,

I bought a Galaxy Note here in Mexico, actually 2, one for me one for my GF...

The only company that brought it here was Telcel, but in 6 months i finish my contract and want to move to a different (Faster) Company...

Im new at android, so i was told i could sim unlock my android easy.. well i have been searching lots of forums, and havent found an answer yet, :confused:

I even dare to pay to get an unlock code at http://www.cellunlocker.net which i do NOT recommend i havent got answer for my problem yet, anyway here is my problem, i got the code, so its easy i just have to input the code on my phone, the problem is that i dont know how to input the code.

This is what i have tried so far...

1.- Put a sim of a Network locked on my phone... i was supposed to get a screen saying insert Network Lock code or something like that, instead all i got the first 3 times was Network Locked... that's it no option to input the code, right now i dont even get that screen it only shows the icon that means network locked...

2.- I search in the forums, and found sever ussd Codes in this tread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20750699&postcount=72

So ok i tried #7465625*638*Code# / #7465625*638*# / and according to the instructions i got from the cellunlocker page i tried #0111*Code#, all of them returns the same thing "Connection Problem or invalid MMI Code"

I have tried other ussd codes and for example *#06# for the imei and *#7465625# which gave me the current status do work, also another one to see the Mac of the bluetooth, so i stuck here....

Any ideas?? thanks!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topil:
im going to answer your question, you can try to use an online tool to try to unlock your note, THE BIG PROBLEM is that you wont be able to use in any other company because telcel has locked the firmware, the only thing you can do is change your firmware and you will able to use with other provider
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissaor:
So.. When ics is out i can update and then unlock.. Cause there are no firmware updates right now :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissaor:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5pace:
Hey,

I have a problem here, my device (SGN) isn't working properly in MTP mode, the thing is when I connect my phone to PC with a USB, SD card works fine and is read properly, the problem lies in the phone's internal memory, as soon as I open it up, the folders pop up which are in it, but when I open my "Music" (a folder in internal memory) my Windows explorer's top-bar shows green loading (as if it is reading files in it) but no files are shown up. And it was working fine in MTP mode this morning.

1. MyFiles in my phone reads all the files and folders properly as if there's no issue.

2. I have not rooted my device, it's the plain vanilla ROM, with no changes in it.

3. I tried to use my phone in mass storage mode, by going into "Settings > USB utilities > Mass Storage" and that way it works perfectly fine.

EDIT: Now it's not even detected when I connect it to PC in MTP mode, and there's no issue with my laptop as it is acting the same problematic way in my other PC.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
Un-install the MTP USB drivers and reinstall it again. or try with other USB ports.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maffo999:
Hello everybody,

I'm pretty new to this device since i have swapped it two days ago so I would like a question about audio quality.

With the stock rom I had pre-installed the audio quality was samsung standard: not good but at least audible.

I moved to another rom (Overcome 7 v 4.1.0) which kernel supports voodoo sound.

I was really shoked when i listened to a song for the first time: bass and mid-ranges were just fine as voodoo makes them while highest pitches (and voice too) seems like playing miles away from me: they get all muffled whitout any apprent reason!

I double checked it wasn't a problem of my headset plugging them into my galaxy s and listening to the same song flawlessly.

Did anybody experienced this problem too?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvswim:

I have the same Tab with Overcome 4.1.0. It is a low volume level of speakers for making or recieving calls. Do you know what a problem is?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maffo999:
LOL, that isn't a solution!

Audio should be clear before applying any other effects (dsp or equalizing).

Btw I finally got the solution: it was all fault of Samsung's crappy headset!

I replaced with another set from another brand and it all works like a charm now!

Mods, you can close this thread.

[Verizon Droid Charge] OrbitzXT:
I am new to the whole flashing thing. I read a number of guides last night and was finally ready to do it. I downloaded Odin 1.82, had my drivers installed from this thread (Or so I thought) and tried to flash. In Odin, it hangs at "Setupconnection". I couldn't figure out what the problem was and then I noticed when I plug in my Droid Charge, this is what I get...

Odin detects my phone, and I'm able to access the SD card on it from my PC, but like I said it doesn't flash...and I assume that's because of not every driver having been installed. How can I resolve this issue? I'm using the drivers that this site and a number of other sources say to use. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling them, different cables and different PCs, as well as different versions of Odin.
[Verizon Droid Charge] OrbitzXT:
What confuses me is what I'm reading says to boot into Download Mode with the battery out. How am I supposed to do this when it's not plugged in and no battery? Also, is my phone supposed to stay on when plugged in and the battery is out? Because mine keeps turning off when the battery comes out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Pull the battery, hold VolDown and plug in USB. When the phone is recognized, put the battery back in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] OrbitzXT:
I feel like an idiot. It's working now, thanks a ton. I think I was in recovery mode. I flashed CWM and am now planning to flash Tweak using Odin. What exactly is CWM and how do I use it if I need to? My understanding was that it's a recovery tool. Also for Tweak, I notice one download has a kernel and one doesn't. As a noob, what do these things mean and which should I go with?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Adamsaudio:
After you Odin the rom and cwm, you want to boot into cwm and flash a custom Kernal before you allow the phone to reboot, otherwise the stock Kernal will overwrite CwM with the original recovery... Unless you odin the package that has the Kernal in which case CwM would stick.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
FYI - CWM should stick on either of the tweakstock Odin files
[Verizon Droid Charge] Adamsaudio:
Sorry about that. I didn't mean to give bad info. You have me curious now... Is there something in the process that stops the Kernal from overwriting the recovery?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
No worries - there's an install-recovery.sh script in /system/media/ that - when removed - leaves CWM alone.

Check q&a section several threads about it.

You bought phone with damaged board due to moisture whether humidity, sweat, condensation or dropped in water. Now not sure which board controls wifi whether it's one connected to usb which is cheap and easy to replace, or motherboard which is basically your phone.

Warranty! Try directly samsung since bell will refuse since phone is not tied to your account even if you are bell customer.

Make sure you flash stock Bell kernel, modem and rom before sending for warranty.

[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
So I have a Sensation 4G with the stock battery and it's got a terrible drain.

I've already calibrated the battery for at least 5 cycles. Last night at (12:00 am) I let the phone sleep @ 100% and woke up at 9:00 AM to 83%. I turned off data, bluetooth and wifi and it's still draining. I can barely go a whole day without the battery dying. It seems it drains the most when it's sleeping. Playing a game like "Stupid Zombies" causes a 5% drain in 7 minutes.

There's gotta be a fix for this. Can anyone help?

Do you have the stock rom or a custom rom? If you áre at stock, your question is quickly answered. Flash a custom rom!
