[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor-1911:
Christian the SG Note has invaded the scene quite with a bang... Developers have been giving us support on pretty much all that we asked for!

We have :

Custom Roms (You just have to try "Rocket Rom" , "Darkys Rom" , "CheckROM Revo" and tons more)

Leaked ICS (early stages but a solid built ! Thanks for all the guys working hard!)

Custom Kernels (AMAZINGLY improved battery life + performance)

My personal opinion about the Note ?? Its on its first steps... Not everything is perfect!!!! overclocking is a bit unstable so you need to watch out and some other minor glitches need to be fixed but on main view i think the open-source community is supporting this device wonderfully and i am 100% sure that there are much more features to come :)

P.S. if you do get a Note , watch out !!!!!!!! THIS PHONE IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE + YOU WILL NEVER GOING TO BUY A SMALLER PHONE!!!! EVER !!! :) hope i was helpfull ! have a nice day :)

in cash and prizes for those who will develop the best S-Pen apps :cool:

So developers are in a way even motivated by Samsung :cool:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
But remember that flash counter!

In other devices like Motorola, HTC, and etc we don't have to worry about that, so Samsung is really not that open. Yes the are ways to avoid the counter but the fact that Samsung has that "feature" makes me think it's not that open at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niyazidk:
yes you are right

Yes it is very annoying...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oobly:
Driver developers don't get much from Samsung, though. On the other hand, there are other sources for some of what we need on the Note from here: http://www.malideveloper.com/developer-resources/drivers/index.php

So it is a very "open" device with a good community and some good devs.

Just follow the instructions here to root without increasing the counter: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

After that you can install what you want using CWM and it won't affect the counter, either. :D

The hardware is awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
True, but this can be (mostly) avoided by showing PC Odin the middle finger. Don't use it if you're not going to flash a stock ROM.

PC Odin = ONLY for stock ROMs

CWM/Mobile Odin = Custom ROMs

Easy peasy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathscytheDK:
Thanks you alle for sharing your knowledg. :)

I'v allmost convinced my self to buy the GNote.

But as I read it. When Android 7.0 is released (I know I know :p), driver devs might have a tough time making driver for the kernels, because the chipset/platform isn't "open". Or an I wrong?

Galaxy S has Android 4.0 which was not released or supported by Samsung.

So even if you are correct, the devs overcame those issues on Galaxy S.

Hey guys,

I'm currently writing a song. I need help. I'm stuck on my section, and don't know where to go...

Any tips?

It's a bassoon duet, written in 2 sections (A - C Major Key, B - F Major Key)

Any help would be appreciated. I have the music score (of what I've got so far, written on Sibilius) I can send you a copy, if you're interested in helping...

Hi guys,

I just received my USB Jig and its not working?

I switched my phone off and plugged it in, download mode came up. So I switched the phone off and unplugged the Jig, then switched the phone back on and the triangle is still there :/ also the binary count hasn't changed.

Am i doing something wrong?

Regards Matt
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanoviper:
my guess is you have the new bootloader that wont allow for the counter to be reset. find the old bootloader, flash it via odin, use the jig and then reflash the new bootloader (if you wish) as far as i know the new bootloader is needed for ics,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It does but for some reason when you aren't connected to WIFI, you can't play HD, only HQ.. Strange issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
I'm going to say that again ....

USA is not centre of the earth and not everyone is using lte and 4g. That's why on mobile connection you have HQ and not HD. Secondly HQ is enough for me anyway loads lot faster than HD and it blows the video to full screen which is enough for me.

I have 4.5mbit download however YouTube is not reliable enough in my opinion. Even on 100mbit it tends to not buffer.

don't take this the wrong way bro but from my standpoint on my phone (where I can't see carrier etc.) this post makes you look like a huge jackass, nowhere in the OP's post does he suggest its an LTE issue or that YouTube needs to work on the app just for "us"... the OP was asking a legitimate question that I had been wondering myself

try + oc

there is compatibility issue..

not all apps support ICS (for now)

even many of them not support official ICS..

app devs maybe on the progress go to that..

ex: 2weeks ago quick pic not support ICS.. a couple day ago,,quickpic rel a new version that support ICS..

maybe you have to be more patient

:)

bout ur ics gapps not work,,try the newest gapps..

or maybe u have to increase ur proc OC.. ICS need more resources than gb..

that's happen to me first time i use cm9,,always not responding..

but now its all ok..

just gallery n maps that sometimes only show black (blank)..

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
We recently got the Galaxy S2 ICS kernel booting on the Exynos 4210-based tablets. As with the Galaxy S2, this new kernel exposes a previously-hidden partition on the mmcblk0 device, mmcblk0boot0. TriangleAway now works (if you're running the ICS kernel!):

​

Old, historical info

Samsung counts the number of times you flash non-Samsung kernels to the GT-P6200, presumably so they can tell if you've voided your warranty or not when you bring the device in for service. This is similar to other recent Samsung devices, such as the Galaxy SII (though the SII displays a yellow warning triangle on the boot screen if your flash count != 0).

The count is visible when you boot the device into "Download" / "Odin" mode, as seen on my GT-6200 here:

​

Recently, teamhacksung and Chainfire discovered the location where the flash count is stored on the Galaxy SII. Chainfire has subsequently released a write up on how to reset the counter, as well as a utility called TriangleAway which can automate the process. Interestingly enough, it has been discovered that the tool also Galaxy Note and other devices which use the same Exynos SoC as the Galaxy SII. Our device uses the same SoC!

I am hoping that we can do the same on the GT-6200 (and hopefully its variants), so I started to poke around in the device's partitions with the goal of both understanding and documenting what I find (so others can follow along and search for themselves).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Partitions, mount points, and analysis.

Honeycomb 3.2 (DXKL3) presents the following partitions on my GT-P6200:

major minor #blocks name

179 0 15388672 mmcblk0
179 1 20480 mmcblk0p1
179 2 1280 mmcblk0p2
179 3 1280 mmcblk0p3
179 4 8192 mmcblk0p4
179 5 8192 mmcblk0p5
179 6 8192 mmcblk0p6
179 7 204800 mmcblk0p7
179 8 16384 mmcblk0p8
179 9 786432 mmcblk0p9
179 10 13791232 mmcblk0p10
179 11 524288 mmcblk0p11
179 12 8192 mmcblk0p12
179 16 7761920 mmcblk1
179 17 7760896 mmcblk1p1

I came across some lovely strings in both /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p3:

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (%d counts)
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: %s
SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
CUSTOM

I wonder where the count is stored?!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
If Im not mistaken there are 2 counters. I would investigate that hidden.img partition.

Im not worried about it, unless I have to return for warranty, which I probably cant because I'm in US and product is from Malaysia.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Go read the description given by Chainfire in the TriangleAway thread, he mentions that the kernel in the Samsung Galaxy SII ICS leaks expose hidden partitions that weren't exposed by the mmc block driver in the Gingerbread kernels. It's possible our Honeycomb/2.6.36 kernel doesn't even expose this; we'll probably have to wait until Samsung releases ICS for the P6200.

Yeah, I'm not worried either, but it's good to understand the hardware.

btw, I just noticed that the counter doesn't show if you adb reboot download (if your kernel supports it):

​
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1271890

quoted from thread:

No, unfortunately Samsung has very clear in mind what it's doing.

It seems there is a second counter, which counts the number of times the custom flash counter has been reset, and the bad news is that its position/folder has not been discovered yet.

old thread, I think there was another with @AdamOutler, discussing a 2nd hidden counter counting the # of times the 1st counter has been reset! Doh!

Download mode is the same its just a different way to get to it which doesn't display the info. Pretty Sure.

Not an easy task, I think we'll be ok when ICS is out. But this would help for people in trouble now.

cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
1. Hmm, a backup flash counter seems a bit paranoid on Samsung's part to be honest. This is starting to sound like a conspiracy... hehe.

2. That thread you link to gets its information from a thread on Darky's ROM forum. Darky and his whole team are a bunch of elitist idiots if you ask me. Hoarding ROM leaks and other childish behaviors.

3. If there is a second flash counter... we'll find it.

4. Oh well. Like you said, we can't bring our units in for service anyways (I live in Kenya!).

5. The bootloader is still open... so it really doesn't matter. Unless of course there's ANOTHER behavior of the bootloader to start rejecting flashes if the count reaches a certain point. hhahaha.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] acolwill:
I don't have the custom binary counter on mine. :)

It has been flashed several times, including being rooted on day 1. However I do use mobile odin and not odin from my pc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
I think Mobile Odin doesnt change the counter. Pretty Sure.

Chainfire is BOSS.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] acolwill:
no, it doesn't...

Still doesn't account for my original flash via recovery of your rooted kernel

Unless..... custom kernel counts are only done when **** is flashed via desktop odin :):):)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
yes I think that may be the case. Not sure as to why. I think chanfire does it stealthily (is that a word?), but I would think flashing in recovery we would get bagged.

Good to know. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Flashing via recovery and or Mobile Odin use the same technique; writing directly to the boot partiton from the phone's shell, for example (as root):

cat zImage > /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Not trickery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
good to know.

thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] acolwill:
Mobile Odin flashes via CWM recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Yup, and CWM recovery flashes by writing directly to the mmc partition. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Chainfire:
Mobile ODIN only uses CWM as "a place to live", it does all the flashing itself. On half of the devices CWM isn't even used.

Anyways, you will simply be able to use TriangleAway as soon as you have a working Linux 3.0 based kernel, so yeah, that means ICS.

Neither GB nor HC expose the hidden partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
what if we flash a bad kernel, assuming to the correct partition, is there anyway to get to Mobile Odin to reflash stock kernel?

Where should i look for the yellow triangle? when i hold power+vol - to get into download mode, i see a yellow triangle before pressing the vol up buttom to continue... is THAT triangle? or is it just a warning?

can someone post a picture of it to let me understand?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Ok, Dushaine. You're right, I just tried TriangleAway on CM10 and it doesn't work. It seems the hidden partitions aren't exposed in this kernel (/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 and /dev/block/mmcblk0boot1). My guess is that it stopped working when we switched to this new kernel (the one used by the Note and Galaxy S II).

I don't know where to enable it specifically, but I remember seeing a patch once to add those partitions back to the block driver. I'll try to find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Found it...

I've found the 2-line kernel patch which re-exposes these hidden partitions. The patch has been sent to CyanogenMod's code review (#22989).

Reset flash count on GT-P6200

i know this thread is old but how do i find the flash count on jelly bean its not shown in download mode and would like to know where i can find my count
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Surprised myself and after two weeks of ownership I am still on the I717 Note's stock ROM. This was after constantly ROM flashing on my prior Android Samsung Infuse and iPhone4 & 3G (Jailbreak of course).

Stock battery life is decent and launchers like GO, ADW, etc. give plenty of ability to change icons, UI behavior, etc.

So far I haven't found any annoying problems that would require me to fix via rooting.

I HAD to root my prior Samsung Infuse because it had software bugs that required root to fix BUT I am real PROUD of my Note's ability to run strong and solid as a stock ROM. I haven't been forced to reboot yet in 2 weeks of ownership! Yeha!

For myself the KEY is to make myself to NOT TO LOOK AT Applications:Running Services...it makes me sick to see all those unnecessary apps loaded up.

I simply wanted to see how the Note behaved out-of-the box...and so far real impressed.

Will I ever ROOT - Probably, just to get rid of bloatware AND I will need to tether occasionally once I start traveling again.

Will I ever replace the ROM? Not sure, depends on features but definitely not interested in ROMs that just change icons, startup screens and colors.

anyway, this is just post to say how satisfied, thus far, with the Note's performance...as is.:)

Anything I'm missing that needs root to fix?
