[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjanpvt:
Hello!

I flashed my Toshiba Folio a year ago using a guide from this forum and it worked brilliantly, and because my HTC Desire Z was getting slower by the minute, I decided I wanted a custom ROM on my DZ.

I used the HTC Dev Unlock to get root, that went all perfectly.

After that, I installed Clockwork Recovery Mod and tried to flash 2 different Custom Roms (Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.0) and CyanogenMod-7.

What I didn't realize was that I needed S-off to flash a custom Rom, and now I only get a white HTC screen at startup.

It is still possible to get in Hboot/fastboot and into the Clockwork recovery mod, but I can't find a solution to what to do now. ADB isn't working in hboot/fastboot and the ways to get S-off are with ADB. Can I get my DZ back into original state safely, or is there another way to get S-off?

Thank you all in advance!

Ps: I also tried flashing a lower (1.34) ROM or a Stock Rom, but they don't work :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liutszho:
Hello,

I just got a hdmi to dvi converter so I could plug the microusb to hdmi adapter to my monitor via dvi.

However the galaxy note wants to push audio out to the monitor which obviously is for picture only.

I want the audio to come back out from the speakers again, does anyone know an app that can switch audio outputs? I tried googling but nothing pops up that forces android to output audio to certain outputs, like speaker or headset.

Thanks.

Haven't tried this app.

But maybe this will do it:

Tried that app but doesnt have option to select audio outputs :(

Just has volume options.

There doesnt seem to be an HDMI setting either after plugging in the hdmi adapter.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kegman913:
get a Y splitter for audio cable. get a male to male audio cable.

Uplug your speaker audio cable from your computer. Lets call this the speaker cable.

plug the y cable into your audio jack to your computer.

Plug your speaker cabe into one of the Y splitters.

Plug one end of your male to male audo cable into the other side of the splitter.

Now plug the last part into your phone. its a work around, but cheap and easy work around.

parts here:

http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimi...6IV8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329411064&sr=8-1

Under $5. radio shack will cost you $9 for the splitter itself. I just got it a few weeks ago

please tell me the brand of hdmi mhl you have with a link if possible and the converter for the hdmi > dvi. I cant get mine to work for my nexus.

[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
I have seen on the CM9 thread that there are a few users who are having trouble with the stock apps syncing with Exchange.

I had the same issue after installing alpha 2 a few days ago. A little research let me to this article: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22975

Basically, there are a number of Exchange configurations that the stock ICS clients simply are not compatible with right now. It may be as simple as the security requirements that your employer is trying to enforce, or in my case, the fact that my employer is running Exchange 2010sp1. Apparently sp2 is compatible.

In any case, this is an upstream Google issue, and is not specific to CM9. They are working on it.

I am using Moxier Mail in the interim.

And, yeah, I know I should have posted this in the thread, but I don't have enough posts yet.

-AH
[Epic 4G General] brooksyx:
Glad to hear. Hope it gets fixed soon. My college's notification website pushes all notifications to our school email which uses exchange. Sadly I have to log in to my email to check for these rather then get them automatically on my phone.
[Epic 4G General] TWO515TY:
Can't you use POP or IMAP, so you don't have to log into the website?
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
No. MS Exchange Server is a completely different and much more secure protocol than POP or IMAP, and entities that use it do so precisely because they do not want their sensitive info going out on POP or IMAP. And, as Exchange offers true push, and several other features that go beyond the scope of just email, it has other advantages too.

And, while there usually is a website component available (Outlook Web Access) that's not what we are talking about here.
[Epic 4G General] drksilenc:
what issues specifically are you having trouble syncing.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
All. None of mystock android apps work with exchange.

My work uses Exhange 2010sp1 and there is a security requirement that android 4.0.x exchange services do not support. The issue is not present in sp2. I'm not an expert. This is what I have found out through my research, and have been told. My employer has no plans to implement sp2. Now why android 2.3 would work, and then they would leave out that compatibility in 4.0 is beyond me. And why the android team would still be working on it 4 months later without resolution is also beyond me.
[Epic 4G General] dzl:
well, I wouldn't say exchange is any more or less secure (probably less) than IMAP (POP is dead) over SSL/TLS. Companies do it so that they can enable group policy on the data, you know, like being able to REMOTELY WIPE YOUR PHONE (without your appoval). really depends on the company. I work on the systems team for the production servers at our company, but I'm not part of the IT group facing our employees. We use Exchange. They know the guys in my group are not idiots, so they enable IMAP for our accounts at a special requrest from us. IMO, IMAP is far better than trying to screw around with Exchange/Outlook.

Though I do have a Windows VM that I use to accept meeting invites. *shakes fist*
[Epic 4G General] brooksyx:
I just gave up on exchange for now. It was eating through my battery and it would forget my credentials.

I am just having all of my exchange emails forward to my gmail for now.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
Yes, in terms of the tranfer of data over ssl, there is little or no difference between exchange and imap, though I would bet that a lot of users don't have their imap account set up with ssl. For a lot of exchange users, ssl is required.

And yes, my employer wants to be able to remotely wipe my phone. I want them to be able to as well. They know, as do I, that some of the information on my phone is personal/private/confidential/sensitive/secure, so to them, and to me, the advantage of being able to remotely wipe my phone makes Exchange MUCH more secure than IMAP.

I guess it's all a matter of needs and perspective.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
I just realized I linked the wrong thread in hte OP. Here is the correct one:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22975

I'll update the OP.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
The email.apk and exchange.apk included with epiccm9's test build of android 4.0.4 have fixed my exchange sync issues.

Big props to whoever fixed this!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonlyhan:
There currently couple of ICS Roms now in our forum (MIUI, Virtuous, CM9, and CG). But my question is, I am a real beginner when it comes to phone system devs, so, when I tried all the newest version of each ICS Roms, I do not feel any major differences. The camera does not work, same issues with crashing, slowness, and etc. I am not complaining about the issues and bugs, but I am wondering what's the difference between each rom? Are there any major difference? And what are we expecting next for the rom? Camera?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0e_ahm:
OK first of all MIUI ICS is much different then the other ics roms there is more customization in a much easier way and a whole different experience even thought they come from the same source I believe. Now when is comes down to the difference between virtuous and CM9 is the mods and other stuff that you won't notice I personally like virtuous it looks more professional with the mods such as the setting toggle in the notification bar its just me. CG is more of a stock experience so you won't see any mods just pure stock experience. That's the major changes I see and with the bugs I don't really know but there all being worked on with pretty much Feb so if camera doesn't work with one it won't work with the other just give him time I'm sure its coming very soon :-)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxxx5oh:
This is where I get partially confused, i was running MIUIce Cream Sandwich (ICS v4.0.1) and have had NO issues whatsoever, the camera works, video recording works, and it is fast as all get out (3200-3300 quad consistent o/c to 1.5GHz). I was trying (and failing thus far) to find the camera framework, and hardware ID information from this ROM and inject it into one of the new ICS ROMs we have available.

what all would i need to pull from MIUIce cream sandwich in order to get a working camera in any of the other ICS roms? i know at least i would need to pull the camera .so files from system/lib, but is there any other completely necessary files that should be pulled to get this to work?

im really hoping that a dev stumbles across this and could point me in the right direction, because the camera CAN work, and i have a feeling i am really close to getting it to work, but i don't have the know how (quite yet) of the more experienced devs here.

i really wish it was as easy as my GS4G was when GB ROM leaks started surfacing, that was a 5 minute fix once the right tools came along lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
I believe that you are running a hybrid version that isn't really ics if your camera is working. This would explain why you aren't having the same problems as others running ics roms.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxxx5oh:
i didnt think a hybrid would come up as actual ICS though...?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
All you have to change is the build.prop to say a different version.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxxx5oh:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmanmostafa:
foxxx50h, were you running the now discontinued Galnet Miui release? If so, I know what you mean. Since I was using that and it was great. The only serious glitch was that the market place crashed whenever you tried to preview the pics.

If you want something like that, Dark_Sys released a newer version, but it reads a GB code and not ICS. And it's quite good and stable. Everything works too. Super great on battery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxxx5oh:
That's the one! You wouldn't happen to have a link for that download, would ya?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonlyhan:
Thanks for the info guys, and I really want to try out the ICS (or hybrid) where the cam works. Other than that, I think all current ROMs have their own forte.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incantevole:
i've been using creamed glacier since december as a daily. two main issues on it are the camera and low mic volume - though that comes and goes.

quattro was a mess for me. once booted the setup routine would crash out and widgets would constantly crash the launcher no matter what i tried.

testing out cm9 right now. big problem is that launcher (NOVA even) crashes a lot. otherwise call volume is great. runs decent. one great thing there is that it actually contacts google and restores apps. plus i received an email from google congratulating me on my purchase of a galaxy nexus :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonlyhan:

Why would you try to root Note with Sony Ericsson Xperia Play rooting method? You are lucky not to have bricked your phone.

Can you describe here, How to flash FM kernel without having Root + CWM ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silent Lain:
Yeah I'd like to know that too...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhsu:
To root with FM Kernel, you need:

- FM Kernel 2.0 actually.

- Odin 1.83 on laptop or PC.

- SS USB driver installed on PC.

Then

1. Open Odin 1.83

2. Select PDA and choose FM Kernel.tar

3. Connect Note to PC.

4. Click START on Odin screen, about 20" procedure will finish.

5. Disconnect Note with PC.

6. Now you have rooted Note,

7. Continue to install Superuser 3.0 and CWM to able to use a lots of softwares and to install any firmwares or Kernels that you want.

Enjoy,

If you have updated like this, just check your binary counter.

Custom ROM/Kernel flashing with ODin, raise flash counter.

Have you read this lines? which is there on link you have mentioned
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WereCatf:
This is slightly off-topic, but I am new to Samsung devices -- getting my Note today or tomorrow -- and I would like to know what is this flash counter and are there some negative effects to it rising?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Flash counter is number, that shows how many time you have flash your device with custom ROM(non samsung), it has negative effect is, when your counter is raised, you can't claim warranty.

Still there is no losing hope, if counter raised, You can reset it to zero, but that requires 'Zig' Hardware Tool.

Keep one golden rule in mind - NEVER flash any custom ROM/Kernel with PC odin.

To get Root n Update ROM, you can get guide from last link on my signature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Along the same lines, although slightly OT:

I have gained Root access using the zegrush method. That was very painless. I did read a lot before doing it, and obviously picked the right file & approach.

I then installed CWM. That was quite painless too. I found a blog post that described it (because I was unsure what it even was) here:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/

I am sure these details are here somewhere too, but there is a great deal of information here, and sometimes a lot of knowledge is assumed.

I then gritted my teeth, took my Note in my hands, and flashed the Abyss kernel. Again, I read a lot, and I selected the right file (thanks to dr.ketan once again).

So all is quite rosy, and nothing (touch wood) has gone wrong. It seems I can easily flash kernals any time I want.

My only question is, is it just as simple to flash a ROM in this way with CWM? If so, the whole process is much easier than it seemed when I started! :)

I do point this out because there is an awful lot of information out there. Some of it is in a 'different language' and can be intimidating. It took me ages to get around to finding CWM for example. I am a techie (C++ / Java / C# developer from way back), but it is still not easy to get started. It appears that when you take the time to learn, follow the right steps (after picking the correct set based on your circumstances) it is actually quite simple.

Many thanks to everyone making it possible, and most importantly the developers giving us these great mods for free!

I knew that, but binary counter increases only one time, after that with CWM, upgading firmware easily.

To be honest not the fastest or most responsive, at least compared to CM7 but I really like the "feel" of this rom and will most likely stay with this one for a while.
