[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul.ryan:
Just trying to understand & get s off bootloader

I bought an Eris that was stuck at skating androids. I started flashing PM00IMG zips via hboot until one worked. One did "Leak-V3".

Now I have the (1.49 s on) bootloader but I want the (1.49 s off) bootloader. I've done some searching & this is the only thread I've found that has working links to necessary files. I admit to being a noob & I don't completely understand all of the steps here or if I need them all.

I have the 1.51 bootloader part finished & unlocked but don't fully understand this part. Do I even need it? I think yes.

"create a zip file with a custom recovery image in it (named "recovery.img"), and an "android-info.txt" file with MainVer set to 2.42.0000 (see step #3 of this XDA post)"

I may be the only one doesn't get this but how exactly do I create this zip file & why isn't it already pre-packaged like everything else. No I'm not lazy. I've unzipped files and added or replaced parts and re-zipped them. For my own use I created a custom gapps package this way. I've followed the links here and read the whole post on Android Central where this idea was born. I could have missed something but I've been at this for a week.

One other part I don't get is this.

"using fastboot and the phone in RUU mode, flash this zip file ("fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip") Again, see step #3 of the link above"

What is RUU mode? I've used fastboot already and think that they really mean boot the phone into fastboot because I've searched for RUU mode and all I find are posts that say put the phone in RUU mode & never how to do that. If fastboot is what is meant why not just say it.

I understand that some of the steps are to recover a phone with bad memory blocks & I don't think that I need them. I'm very cautious when doing these things and like to understand all of the steps so that I don't become a desperate android owner. :)

Something that I would like to have seen in this guide is a brief description of the purpose of each of the files used. I like very detailed instructions & find that details head off some problems & many questions. The first time I rooted an OG Droid I followed an awesome guide. Still screwed up 3 times but kept going back to the guide till I got it right. So I understand good instructions must be followed accurately.

Sorry for the long post. l'm trying to be thorough.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I'm not 100% sure. I thought that if you flashed JCase's misc partition that would let you directly flash the 1.47.2000 S-OFF root ROM but I'm not 100% sure that it wouldn't brick the phone, so this method is safe.

Good news: I've already done this. See here: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/556826-stuck-in-boot-up-screen.html#post4481107

The file is at the bottom of that post. (That whole thread I walked a user through the whole process, so worth a look in your case...)

Yes, it's the same thing as fastboot mode. It's the same steps that you take to flash an RUU from your computer, so perhaps that's why it was described as RUU mode. Sometimes when you type these things out from memory you get some specifics just slightly off...

Right! Skip those steps (MTD_Inspect and Eris_MTDNuke.)

Well, I think that I sort of did this through this thread on androidforums.com, starting with this post #15: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/556826-stuck-in-boot-up-screen.html#post4475687

If that doesn't help, or you need to know anything else, ask away!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Oh, and just to answer this question: the easiest way is to create a folder with the custom recovery image (I suggest that you use Scary Alien's Trackball-optional recovery, which is called recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2-trackball-optional.img) and rename whichever recovery image that you use to recovery.img. You then also need a text file called "android-info.txt" which has the following contents:

So, you'll have two files in that folder, called:

recovery.img

android-info.txt

Then, using whichever zip file utility that you prefer (Windows built-in zipper, 7zip, etc.), you would create a zip file called recovery.zip that contains those two files.

(Source for this: this post by Ammar-y.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul.ryan:
OK. I think I've got it. I read the thread with your "recovery zip" file in it before. I just missed that it was the prepackaged file I needed. For some reason I thought was the "tiny-eris-recovery-zip".

What I wanted to understand was how to create the "android-info.txt" file. By unzipping the one you posted I think I understand. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I used my file browser in a folder to create a new file then opened that file with Root Browser text editor. Then just copy and paste the appropriate text in it and then name it "android-info.text". There is probably a way to do the same thing on a computer but I haven't tried and I"m more at home using my Touchpad anyway.

I need a tutorial on writing posts that look as pretty as yours with all of the grey quote boxes & links. I'm sure if if I looked there is one. I haven't figured out how to select one of these icons from the list either. Google is my friend but sometimes he keeps me up to late at night.

Thank you for your input.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Yes, that should do it. Or, again, you can just download the recovery.zip file I already prepared.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
I was tryin to switch over to rogers this afternoon...

All their lte plans for the note have only 200 minutes yes you can double them (tho it still not enough for me) and there is no more then 3gb data plan ... I mean what a rip off . If i want an lte device (even paying full price) i cant get 800 talk time and 5gb + for it

What plans you guys got ??

Granted this not 100% device related but im so pissed right now.

Edit : i currently pay 90 for 6gb and 100% talk / messages unlimited
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
whoa eithr they are very few rogers users or nobody feels my pain ,,,,:mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trazbot:
Actually its a bit misleading. The standard 6GB plan that rogers has for $30 is LTE compatible its just that not all reps realize it OR just want to charge you an arm and a leg for a LTE specific plan.

I signed up for the 6GB data plan years ago when they just came out with it, and when I called them they just had to remove my old 6GB plan and add the new 6GB plan. No price difference and although it doesn't say anything about LTE on their end, LTE does indeed work on my Note. I had a friend with a SGS2 do the same thing over the weekend. I remember reading somewhere that any new data plan is technically LTE compatible but I can't find the link so don't quote me on that, but I can assure you this one works.

Here's the link on Howardforums with the discussion about it. SoC codes are buried somewhere in there too.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1742420-Great-news-30-6Gb-is-back!

Right now I have the new my10 canada wide plan (incl. unlimited messaging), standard voicemail package and 6GB of data for about $86 a month. All standard plans so you don't have to go through retentions or strike some kind of deal.

Hopefully that helps a bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yuongn:
So does that mean you are paying $30 for 6GB of LTE data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trazbot:
Yep, $30 for 6GB LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
Thx guys i finally nailed something decent obly 2gb but i can swap to 6gb/30 if i want to ... As you said different rep different song got a good one he gave me plenty of deals/bonus..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoutamis:
I have noticed 4 different status bar icons for data.. Theres the "4G" icon, the "E" icon, "3G" icon, and "G" icon.

My question is what is the G icon? I know that the E is edge, and that 3G only appears when roaming..but what is G? Cause it is very very rare for it to appear..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
g = gprs

e = edge

3g = 3g

h = hsdpa
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoutamis:
Yes i know that G is GPRS. But what im asking is what is the difference between Edge and GPRS? And i thought GPRS was a CDMA only thing..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
GPRS is essentially the internet speed before Edge came out. Not necessarily the slowest speed, but the slowest connection. As far as I know, it's "available" on CDMA & GSM. Not exclusive to one or the other.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
Hi,

This is an odin .tar prepared with the stock AT&T Kernel, System, and Recovery.

Flash it from odin using the same instructions as my root thread

After flashing, you may need to boot into recovery by powering off, holding vol up + vol down, and holding power until you get into recovery. Then perform a factory reset, this should get you up and running after most brickery.

Note that this is a large file (~450MB), please spare my web host if you don't particularly need it ;)

Download .rar here

Below are stock kernel-only odin tars:

AT&T stock kernel-only odin pda tar

TELUS stock kernel-only odin pda tar

Bell stock kernel-only odin pda tar

Rogers stock kernel-only odin pda tar

dude you are amazing, i did pushed the thank you button but i still want to say thank you for the times and effort that you put in all this work.

any word on when we can try to flash the proper modem on this phone to get it to work on T-MOBILE.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
Going by past experience, rooting does prevent OTA updates in some cases, but restoring to stock via odin first should take care of that when the time comes.

We will also presumably have the official ICS upgrade available as a signed odin tar that won't trigger the flash counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] peoples_flip:
I presume this will not work with the rogers galaxy note?

I am willing to provide files from my device if necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
No, (it would, but it would leave you with an AT&T system)

We have the rogers kernel, but not /system or recovery currently. (although recovery is similar enough to not really matter)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] peoples_flip:
Is there anything i could do to help? Files to provide from my note? (i717R)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
From adb inside booted ROM:

(note system.img will be 1GB, compress it before upload)

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/system.img
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img

If you have installed my rooted recovery or kernel, don't bother pulling those images as they will have been overwritten. Currently we have everything for AT&T, Rogers kernel, and TELUS kernel. Need Rogers system/recovery, bell kernel/recovery, and telus system/recovery to build stock archives for those.

I apologize if this seems like a stupid question but I have been trying this for the past hour or so and not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong. I've read through the thread but I may have missed something. My issue is that:

I downloaded the .rar and tried that in the pda section a few times but got stuck at the samsung logo

I read a bit more and then extracted the .rar in order to get the .tar file and then tried that in the pda section only for odin to say that it failed due to a COM issue

I tried the .tar in phone as I read that someone else tried it there but that also failed

I am sorry sorry to be a pain, but I was wondering if someone could help me out a little bit. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Are there any CWM/TWRP Flashable versions of 2.3.6 I wanna give it the battery test to see how well it holds up and I'll be damned if both my pc's decided to go on the fritz when I wanted to flash this via Odin, both of them just don't detect the Note at all. Yes I am in download mode and installed the drivers and restarted. Win8 64Bit says Unrecognized and Win7 32Bit just doesn't do anything when I open Odin no com port detection or anything, only thing I get is the sound of plugging in or out a usb device...

Sure enough it was working perfectly when I flashed it to 4.1.2 via Odin and when I flashed TWRP, then I flashed BS BJ ver.1 and now this is happening all of a sudden. >_<

no need to adb into recovery you can just power off the device, once thats done hold down both volume buttons and power button, once the device vibrates let go of power while continue holding both volume buttons and dont let go of the volume buttons until a image appears (forgot exactly what image it is). honestly i dont think the kernel is at fault but dont worry about I'll help out as much as i can. download and extract the contents on your comp... http://www.mediafire.com/download/yxl5isy55j84o21/root_on_JB.zip

1st. flash cwm via odin should be cwm 5.xxx( I don't remember the exact version)

2nd. flash supersu via recovery boot back into the os and check if it installed and running properly.

3rd. flash cwm 6.0.4.6 via recovery reboot recovery and flash a kitkat rom of your choosing.

let me know how things go.

EDIT: just seen your edit so i guess your good to go now but a little advice stay away from using rom manager from now on. i wouldnt it use it for any thing besides booting into recovery.
