Do you use WIFI? What radio version?

What's your WIFI sleep policy?

It'll be useful if some of these variables were shared with folks who have no SOD whatsoever.

P.S. Phone has not gone into any SOD yet. I did a clean boot without WIFI enabled (i.e., toggled wifi off, and then rebooted). We'll see how long this lasts.

hey guys im in need of help.

im really familiar with CWM but this ****s just never happened to me so ill ask if you dont mind ;)

basically. i cant flash any zip from recovery. i managed to odin it back to norm but ANY zips just hangs whilst installing. i thought that it may be related to how the SD card is mounted cuz 1. i never had this problem before flashing the v6, 2. it seemed to hang in places like "unmounting system", "setting permmission" etc. for even the superuser.zip, it just aborts. the funny thing is restoring back ups didnt work but it worked when i used the CWM app.

Can anyone lead me to light?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] battletank:
Sounds a lot like you've lost root permissions. This happens when you restore a recovery using the broken CWM in the Chainfire repack kernel.

You'll need to use Odin to reflash the Chainfire repack.

Because whatever voodoo magic Chainfire worked to graft root and cwm onto the leaked kernel has resulted in a few bugs, including losing root when restoring backups.

I hope there'll be more seeds soon, but you should get nice speed from seeding server. :)

v07 tomorrow, I hope again :)

Also, if someone has v03, v04 or v05 on his pc, upload it please somewhere and send me a link.

Will v7 be with 4.0.4 mate?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lfmmoura:
Guys,

More news on the SOD. Today it happened while I was on the phone. It seems that the phone itself keeps working. It's only the screen that doesn't power on.

Soft-reset buttons do work, so I suspect it has something to do with the screen drivers or Android's sleep mode.

Mind you, I'm on v06 + LB2 (flashed via Mobile Odin) + setcpu @ 500Mhz minimum. Both of those solutions seemed to help a bit, but were unable to fully eliminate the SOD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Caillin:
This is the best way to distribute Imilka. I have a seedbox, and I'm sure quite a few others on here have them as well, so when you upload the new torrent, then you'll quickly end up with several Seedbox's sharing with very high speeds.

Edit: lol, took 1.8 seconds to download from your new seedbox to mine

WT*#%& :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PoisonWolf:
I'm having some positive results thus far. Clean boot without WIFI (disable WIFI followed by a reboot) seems to be working. I'm at about 7 hours now with no SODs. Previously it would even happen whilst I was in the middle of using the device. So I'm maintaining my theory that maybe it's some sort of WIFI issue.

Were you on WIFI when the SOD happened?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lfmmoura:
Not really. I had two SODs today and WIFI has been off all day. Pretty sure it's not WIFI related. At least not WIFI-only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PoisonWolf:
Maybe like you said, it's something to do with power allocation by the kernel? For example, it's not allocating enough volts to start the screen, after a certain critical point, it loops infinitely and fails to start the screen or the touchscreen sensors up.

Are there any folks here who are consistently leaving their WIFI + Bluetooth on and still not have any SODs?

I'm just theorizing as to the source of the SODs. I'm still going strong without any issue thus far. Running LB1.

One other thing you could try on the weekend is to put it into airplane mode and use the phone for what you can. If you don't get a SOD, it's pretty evident that it's localized to the radio, or at least how the kernel interacts with the radio.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] .ili.music.ili.:
Where do you download this mobile odin? I'm on Midnote right now (I bought this phone from someone) and I can't believe flashing can be this hard. I am just used to going into clockwork recovery, wiping data/cache, and flashing a new rom.

I checked out the mobile odin page but the lite version says I need to install something else, and I don't know where to find this 'flashkernel' for My N7000 Galaxy Note. Where is he getting that program that he shows on the screen? Also, holding volume down and power is doing nothing but turning off the phone and sometimes showing a battery charging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ngocdao:
same thing happened to me and I thought I lost root too. Sounds like same thing that happened to me when I tried to restore a backup via cmw. Thought I lost root but reflashing cf leak via Odin fixed it :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ngocdao:
Bro just use the computer Odin. I used mobile Odin for first flash and it gave me trouble. Then just dl triangle away to reset your flash counter
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] .ili.music.ili.:
I downloaded computer odin but I don't know what triangle away is. I started the program (odin3 1.85) after my phone was on and plugged in and tried volume down + power to no avail. Odin on my computer also doesn't have that green bar that in the video says something like 0:[COM39] or something
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] apedropais:
That's definitely the point, I think. Just sharing my experience with SODs:

- Never had this weird problem in GNote (thanks my Lord :))

- got it on atrix4G; when on CM9 or CM7, phone won't go deep sleep, it turns off, everytime (check cpu spy); tried different radios, kernel (oc, no oc, uv,...), nothing works; tried rise basal clock and nothing; tried clean install, full wipe, format partition, and... same;

- everytime you create a wake lock, that prevents deep sleep, ...voila... problem solved; you can create one leaving bluetooth turned on, wifi on with never sleep policy on or connecting USB; create your own wake lock with wake lock power manager apk in google play (you got no SODs for the price of a terrible battery life)

- at certain moment I ended up "concluding" that it was some sort of hardware issue (maybe overheating melted something), but then... I flashed back to motorola stock gb and.... fixed, deep sleep fully working (checked in cpu spy and BetterBatteryStats):banghead:

- as fards explained me once, when in deep sleep, kernel create somekind of low power consumption link with radio, so when receiving a call or updating facebook feeds for example, radio can wake up kernel and bring phone back to life; if this mechanism is broken in anyway phone go to sleep and die;

Almost everything make sense in this sad story, but this: why the SOD thing does not happen with everybody that flash a different kernel to the phone??? Myself in GNote, I'm on my stock radio (kk5) and with the leaked ICS chinese kernel, and never had a single SOD !!??! That makes me think again that there's something in hardware too. But why flashing stock atrix ROM fixed the issue???

No definite answer yet, but I keep my bet in kernel bug. I'll continue to observe your progress with the issue, but at the moment I see you getting the same path I went on.

Wish us luck.

Edit: Did you guys tried to go back to your stock rom? Does it fix the problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PoisonWolf:
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've been exposed to SOD issues in the past, primarily with the Nook Color. With that device, if you set the WIFI policy to never sleep, you'll get an SOD after a certain period of time (inevitable fact). This was what led me to initially think it was some sort of WIFI issue again.

Anyhow, I've never had this issue with stock LA4. I've owned the phone for close to two months and never had any issue running stock. Thus, I'm fairly certain that it's a software issue and there is no hardware damage. Due to the beta-nature of the kernel, I guess this was why Chainfire opted to limit the cpu speed to 1.2 Ghz to serve as a safety net incase if things go wrong?

I'm not returning to stock ROM yet (it's hard to go back to GB due to the fluidity of ICS). I'm testing this theory out now. We'll see if my alarm goes off tomorrow and if I get the same frozen white/screen or not. If I do get another freeze of any kind, I"m returning to stock, perhaps LC1 + LB1 radio. I need the phone to be reliable.

With regards to the variability in SODs, it is likely that it might be a result of variability in the battery and the amount of volts it is providing? Or that the AMOLED screens are not completely identical in their power requirements? From a logical guess, I'd imagine that due to the organic nature of the panel, this means that there is some variability involved?

I don't know how one would increase the voltage of the phone EVER SO SLIGHTLY just to test this theory but hey...we'll see how it goes.

Still no SOD so far and the phone is entering deep sleep just fine . It's looking good. We'll see how it handles my 5-successive alarms tomorrow. :D

P.S. While I'm a complete newbie to how electronics work, perhaps one test of whether it is a voltage issue is to run WIFI (set it to sleep when screen is off) + BT + screen at maximum brightness. I'd imagine that this would draw the most power when the phone wakes up from deep sleep....and might trigger the SOD or something? Anyone who has NOT had any SODs is willing to test this (one would need folks with phones that have not displayed SODs in order to confirm this theory)? The key to fixing the issue in my mind is to be able to reproduce the issue. Due to my not knowing how to logcat a phone that's in a SOD state, this is the best I can come up with.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lfmmoura:
I don't remember having had a SOD while on airplane mode, which is what has lead me to believe at first it was radio-related. It could be just a coincidence though.

Anyway, I'll give LB1 a try and see if it makes things better. LB2 was better than the radio that came with the ICS ROM. But I still got two SODs.

Let's see how LB1 goes...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mykeldrip:
man i feel your pain!!! i just got this phone and i was blown away by everything you had to do to flash a rom! Umm mobile odin can be purchased in the market(the pro version) best advice i can tell you is just go ahead and download the reflash pack and flash it via odin mobile or computer they both are pretty easy...then choose which rom you want...aosp or gingerbread wont matter...the kernel will as fas as i can tell but atleast with the flashpack your already covered there if no matter which rom you want...any other ?'s you can PM me ill help you as much as i can..heh maybe we can help each other!1

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Take my fatherly advice and stay away from any ICS build for a while. Judging by your questions your Note savvy is still well below par even for the initial flashing procedure, let alone later ICS maintenance and fixing. You might well end up starting one of "Plz plz help...!" threads in Q&A after a brick.

Why don't you go and play with Note GB roms for a start? They are easy to flash, very stable and practically with no bugs. That way you'll get to learn what it takes to switch to ICS when your time is ripe.

Got another SOD. I give up. :D Can't troubleshoot as to what's causing it. I guess I'll wait till Sammy releases a proper official kernel. Back to good ol' GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Akiainavas:
Been using my note with v6 for over 5 days now without even one SOD.

Baseband: n7000xxkk5

Kernel: 3.0.15-i9220zclp1

Any difference ? Just one. I use wifi only. Mobile data completely turned off and using 2g networks only. Dont know if there's any difference. Up till now no sods, hope it'll stay this way.

Also, if samsung releases the oficial ics upgrade, does that mean we can use their stable kernel or parts of software with Imilkas build to make like v8 to eliminate some bugs and improve stability ? ( although i myself cant really complain )

BTW. Great move with torrents - gonna keep seeding.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Akiainavas:
Sorry for double post but got a quick question:

Seen some info about kernel bricking phones etc. Here's my info:

Model: GT-N7000

Baseband: N7000XXKK5

Kernel: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP1-CL131270 se.infra@SEP-67 #3

Build: IML74K

Everything from Imilka's instruction. The question is - should i be using this kernel ? I believe that's not the one that has been described as bricking-machine eh ? I'm still a bit new to all this so excuse me for this probably silly question :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] afilopou:
Dont worry.The kernel you are referring is angelom kernel (not the one included in imilka's rom)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] imilka:
Kernel is not even included in my zips :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] myself11:
In ICS builds is it possible to change screen mode (dynamic, normal, movie) like on stock ROM? If not, what's the mode that the Imilka's ROM adopts?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crawlgsx:
100% stock imilka, no messing with wifi/modems/etc... Originally flashed CF Repack via Mobile Odin then to imilka's AOSP V1 (and up to v06). I did a clean wipe between every upgrade.

I keep WIFI off, turn it on when I need it, then turn it back off. I admittedly do not use WIFI a lot, few times a week.

I do not use SETCPU or anything of that sort as well.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Akiainavas:
Some ROMS might include this - this one does not though - that's probably Samsung's tweak - without it, i'd say that screen is set to what would be equivalent of Samsung's "Normal" setting.

Once upon a time AOSP 2.0 had a nifty little feature: you could get from lockscreen to homescreen without swyping. You just had to press the home button to activate the lockscreen, then tap the menu button and voila! you were at your homescreen.

Later on that feature was chucked out by popular demand, but I'd love to have it back...

Would some of you boys who, unlike me, know what you're doing (hint: oedex or JamieD81 if you're still reading this thread) be kind enough to produce a menu-button-unlock.zip for me?

I'll be ever so grateful.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] myself11:
Thanks matius44 and Akiainavas.

Just one more question: does ICS have a lowest level of brightness lower than stock ROM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Thanks for the info. :)

However, I don't want to dispose of the screenlock altogether. I'd just like to unlock it by tapping the menu button instead of swyping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
To my knowledge, which is not that much :p, that feature can be enabled by decompiling and editing xml in framework-res.apk..if you would like I can make you one to test :)

Fact is that nobody really knows anything about why SODs occur, except for them being kernel related and a major complaint on every ICS-ROM based on the same Samsung leak.

I guess it's back to Gingerbread for now. I'll keep following imilka's progress and hope for another ICS leak that is more stable.
