[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratboo:
Hi!

Is it possible? I just bought a white Note Open Line but didn't noticed that it was released from India, My Blue one came from Singapore and already getting official update while the white one did not. Now my question is If I flash a stock ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997&page=3, would I be able to get an official update OTA? I wanna change the firmware the same as the blue one.

Many Thanks!

If you flash new firmware like LA4 you can't update using Kies .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratboo:
Thanks for replying! I update mine over the air. Currently I'm on KL2, if I change the white note with KL2 same as mine will I be able to download updates over the air if there is new update? Or if I flash any of the stock rom even if there's an update I won't be able download official update over the air?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
Yes you will get updates. find the latest update available for your region then flash it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
What if your phone is rooted?

I would like to know if OTA updates are possible if you have rooted it. I gather from my experience in the past that you cannot. My phone now fails to connect to the server.

TBH, it is not a drama form me, I have no lag, and the phone seems to work brilliantly, apart from battery life. I had to root in order to get even reasonable battery life, as the bloatware was killing it.

The other issue is, as far as I can tell, we cannot get root access for stock LA4 OTA updates. Is this true, and can anyone say why? Of course, I may have that completely wrong.

Generally, after my attempt at using the Note without root for a month, I prefer root to a new ROM, at least until ICS. Even then, I think I'll wait until the bugs are ironed out, and then get an update that is rootable.

OK, I have just read another of dr.ketan's most excellent and informative posts, and I think I can see the answer.

Real soon now, I'll have enough information and courage (and enough time) to start flashing custom roms at will!

After rooting phone you wont get OTA updates. and no warranty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossygnol:
I know many people in this forum who continue to have updates OTA with rooted phones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You may get OTA after root,Only if you have selected right ROM for your region.

But remember if you update with OTA, you will lose Root. And now a days newer update is non rootable. so you cant root it again after update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratboo:
Thank you for this info! I just found out that my white note came from Samsung India and from what I heard they update pretty long. I won't mind if I will lose the root after as long as I got the white one the same firmware with my blue one so they will update at the same time. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
What is the overall strategy for someone like me who is not intending (yet) to flash

Many thanks for that, but what is the overall strategy for someone like me who is not intending (yet) to flash ROMs? Should I wait until an OTA ROM is rootable, then unroot, get an OTA update, and the root again? Or should I go the whole hog and start flashing stock ROMs instead.

I am not (yet) talking about flashing custom ROMs. All I want is root access and the stock ROM.

BTW, I sincerely appreciate the time you personally have spent helping all of us with an enormous range of issues on this and related matters. I run my own support forums for a particular software product (which I was involved with writing) and I understand very well how much time and effort is involved with keeping up this level of support.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
One thing i like to say what is wrong to update it manually rather then OTA?

OTA is the choice, who dont care Root. If you like to Root your device, just forget OTA, there is no guarranty wat thing when gets available, just try to use your device in best way with watever available right Now.

I dont see near future someone find out a method to root latest Or each n every ROM. this is hide n seek game, if someone find it, samsung will patch that thing in next update. so it become non usable.

What i believe is get Root n CWM/Mobile Odin Pro. Install any ROM, you like to try with Rooting function active. If you dont like just change it. Itz just simple.

Root also get you facility to keep Backup of your data n all.

C'mon, mate, you're an Aussie: since when do the Aussies let others decide what they should or shouldn't do?:) You're going to wait for Samsung to let you have what you need when they see fit? Or are you going to take it yourself when and how you want?

Rooting is the way to go for the most people around here. That way you:

1. get the newest updates only a couple of days after they are released (good people in Dev section need just a day or two to let you download new stock Roms, already rooted)

2. get to play with lots of custom Roms out there - it's such fun, you wouldn't believe

3. get to backup your phone - system and data both - so you are safe to play on without fear that something bad is going to happen: you always have your backups to fall back on if it does

4. get to test various kernels, themes, rooted apps and whatnot to your heart's content

5. get enormous fun doing all of the above

Just follow the first link in DrKetan's signiture, read carefully, follow the instructions to the letter, and you'll never look back. :)

When i have to boot into fastboot, all i do it hold power and volume down button until it says fastboot and that is it? Or do i have to do that then press volume up to get to the "Starting fastboot protocol support"?

And also should i do this not connected to my computer and then connect it when i am in fastboot?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Yes, it should say "Starting fastboot protocol support" and I don't think it matters when you plug it in to start it, but most people usually "describe" the instructions as putting it into fastboot then plugging it in.

I just used this to try to get back to stock and now it is in a boot loop. It just keeps booting up until it gets to the Rethink Possible Att symbol and then doesn't do anything. After about 3 mins it reboots again and goes into the same thing. Any help?

Also, do i only run the file that says "Moto-FB Stock Restore" or do i run something after that?

Boot into fastboot, and in the fastboot utility on your computer run the "fastboot -w" command to wipe all user data and see if that fixes the bootloop.

Hey guys,

I am thinking about getting a Kin. I just don't know whether I should get the Kin TwoM or just the Kin Two. Which ones better? What's the difference?

Thanks in advance!
[KIN One and Two General] rpw0:
???

I would like to know too. It has been a month and no reply. :confused:

Can the Kin be upgraded to the M? Regis
[KIN One and Two General] DoogieDC:
Don't do it - this is a really bad idea. The KIN ONEm and TWOm are unique and capable feature phones. Flashing them back to.the original KIN OS makes them useless, because the back-end service around which they were built is now offline. The original versions can no longer access their required cloud applications

The KIN ONE and KIN TWO were the original Microsoft 4/2010 software releases. This used cloud-based storage for everything: contacts, music, photos. (Similar to the way the old Sidekick worked.)

The concept was that with cloud storage local memory capacity became irrelevant. The problem was that traded local storage for heavy data use, which made Verizon less than happy. Verizon insisted that he KINs be required to have the full $30 smartphone data plan. With those monthly prices, the KIN couldn't reach its target market of teenagers wanting an inexpensive phone that could handle heavy social media.

In one of the most embarrassing moves in wireless history, Microsoft pulled the KINs off the market a month and a half later.

Six months later, MS dumped the inventory by flashing a modified version of the KIN OS and adding the "m" to the moniker. The cloud features were gone, and a few more local phone built-in apps were added to compensate. At the end of 2010 the KIN cloud servers were shut down, which renderd them useless to all the people who bought the original version.

The OMEm and TWOm are still fine feature phones if you can live with the non-expandable memory. They are particularly good for some one who can do all their data connection via local wifi, thus avoiding any data charges.
[KIN One and Two General] Shamrock13:
I wish I could find a Kin TWOm for my friend. He's not on a smartphone, and he can't afford one. He just wants a simple phone, and that would be the step in the right direction.

Hello everybody,

I've read a lot of threads here but none could solve my problem... My sister dropped her Wildfire S and the digitizer (the glass) broke in several pieces. Even though they were still in place, only the bottom right corner would respond to the touch, so I ordered a new digitizer on ebay and installed it but it worked only in that specific corner... so I found a fix in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21203638 (launching a calibration app via hboot using a goldcard) and the digitizer then began to work (but with many problems) just on the left and the right of the screen, the center was dead. So I asked the seller a new digitizer and it worked on the left and right too, like the previous one, but more flawlessly. I reused that fix and now the digitizer is working perfectly but just on 3/4 - 4/5 of the screen! the extreme left is dead, so I can't press the Shift button on my keyboard + a couple buttons right there... I'm now supposing that the digitizer is not faulty since the center didn't work and started to as I used that fix... I've also put a cyanogen rom on the phone but it's still as it was previously... Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance and sorry if I misspelled something

I took back my Galaxy i5500 5 times in 10 months, it was rooted and had I had Cyanogenmod installed on it. I soft bricked it 4 of them times (The first time was shock damage, but the man behind the counter said my device was great and he really liked the appearance and customization of Cyanogenmod and even asked me for the XDA URL).

Just take it back, say it's stopped working, worst thing that can happen is they'll send it back saying it hasn't been fixed as you've tampered with it.

Good luck,

It rebooted in His kernel and I flashed both of his files and the wifi patch or whatever. and Wiped chache and data and other suff and dalvick cache aswell.

When I rebooted then, It didnt show dom kernel's logo but CWM!
