It says you used RSDlite
[Motorola Droid 3] Ianscape:
And then after it says I did the Fast/Easy unbrick
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Did you try removing the ones that give you error from the .bat?
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
did you started in the correct flash mode?

power + M

ap fastboot??

Use the one in my signature, its also psouza but is different (the one in psouza thread never worked for me)

this one (post by chaoticweaponry file by roots wiki) works in the mode i ssaid

the multiupload link is dead i think, but in the last posts there is a dropbox

Pete's One Click Easy Unbrick sounds like a mash-up of his root tool and the quick unbricking script. Just to clarify, it was the MS DOS looking window that comes up after clicking "CLICK HERE TO FLASH etc."?
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
I have bricked my phone numerous times recently and have found a very simple way to recover from it, without even having to plug it in to the computer. The OTA leak found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23223061 can be put on the root of your SD card and installed using the stock recovery. Power + x followed by volume up/down, wipe data, wipe cache, install zip from sd and selecting the OTA zip. I have recovered several times with this and it is pretty handy to be able to do it where ever you happen to be. Of course you will still have to root and reinstall your other goodies, but it works.

Side note: This OTA leak can NOT be rooted with the standard D3 root methods. You must use the D4 root method to gain root privileges.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ianscape:
Yes it was in ap fastboot. I will give the one in your sig a shot, as I have been using psouza's original zip. Maybe it will work *crossfingers*

Yes, it' the psouza Fast/Easy unbrick, using the moto-fastboot files, etc.

That has been done several times, with no changes to the system. While Recovery states that it completes the wipe, it does not appear to wipe anything. I'm going to try the link gierso posted to see if this helps.

Good to know that you can try it from the SD. I may give that a shot as well. I have bricked my D2 over and over F'ing with it and have always been able to recover from it easily...figures that the first time my D3 does it and it tells me to go pound sand.

Thanks on the D4 note.

I'm setting this thing down for a day I need to take a step back so I can try the other file that gierso posted without throwing this thing against a wall. :D

Had this happen to my wife's Droid 3 and saw 1 post on another forum about a user it has happened to. After conversing with Motorola regarding my "Groundhog Day" issue (ie - no matter what you do, nothing changes on the phone... kinda like the movie Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray), the tech support reps came to the conclusion that somehow the NAND because write-protected. Neither RSD nor the Fast-FBZ nor Safe Mode would let me alter the phone in any way. I had to have the handset exchanged out under manufacturer's warranty...
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
Try on "AP Fastboot" mode

moto-fastboot -w

moto-fastboot erase system

moto-fastboot erase preinstall

moto-fastboot erase cache

moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader

now use the Psouza Fast/Easy unbrick.

If this does not help. than it would be better to go for a replacement.

Hello everyone

I do have Samsung Galaxy Note N7000

And i was wondering how to tell if my galaxy note is refurbished or factory made

because i keep notice that my phone keep freeze a lot plus the Google maps and GPS totally kill the phone and so slow to use so please tell me if that normal thing to happen too or not ,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JazonX:
It might be the firmware.

Try Flashing XXLA6 Stock.

AFAIK, There is no way to tell whether a unit is brand new or Refurbished.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tg9413:
Dont know if this applys to notes. But for my galaxy s the different of a retail and a refurbished( the replacement phone samsung gave me) was the sticker on the back of the.phone showing serial imei and such. The retail onw is nice and good quality with samsung logo and made location. The refurb one is just one cheap sticker with some barcode and number
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] .Hell.:
That means i shud flash my phone to European version ?

Is that ROM is the fastest ?

I cant tell if my material good or not on the phone because i havent used any galaxy note's before except mine :)

So i was thinking that some guys says go to RTN number but idk how to do that

because they say i shud dial up some code which never work for me

any idea about that code ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M.Noury:
From where did you get it ?

Do not flash XXLA6

wipe your device and flash the latest Emirates rom (arabic rom)

it is fast and stable.

The ICS will be released soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] .Hell.:
I got it from a guy who sells them on big hardware site in egypt

And i already have the emirates version on my phone

Just the thing is , how to tell if my phone is refurbished or not , whats the steps to know ?:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damador:
there is no physical evidence :) new / user or phone from shop returns ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ages_devil:
i have your same version of the note, and it does the same with freezing, a friend has the same note but with v2.3.6 not 2.3.5 and it works a lot better.

so try updating to 2.3.6 (assuming that your device has no warranty) or wait for the ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AjaxTheCleaner:
Never ignore gut feelings!

I should have trusted my gut when I received my "NEW" SGN (N7000) -- a purchase I made on Amazon from a seller named "Goodios" -- when it arrived in a box with a broken factory seal. There was a sticker over the original seal but upon closer inspection it was obvious that the original factory seal had been broken. Unfortunately for me, due to the seller's high feedback rating I unconsciously began making excuses for them from the get go. I assumed they opened the box merely to add an aftermarket US power adapter despite common sense screaming out the fact that there would have been no practical reason to do such a thing. Any additional accessories could have simply been dropped into the shipping box -- there was after all plenty of room.

The last and biggest clue which would finally convince me that this was in fact NOT a new unit as described by the seller was the missing sticker that should have been covering the screw at the top left corner of the battery well. Removal of this sticker voids the factory warranty, and the fact that it was missing on mine told me that my unit was likely refurbished.

Unfortunately again for me I didn't figure out that last clue until after the 30-day window in which I could have returned the phone. I'm kicking myself now because that's something I would have otherwise thought to check had my suspicions not be quelled by the seller's feedback rating. A high positive feedback ratio often signifies an honorable seller, but it can also signify a crooked seller with ignorant customers like me. Another expensive lesson learned (sigh).

Good point but hard to find a "brick and mortar" store in the USA that sells this international unlocked phone therefore Amazon and ebay. I didn't even know Samsung had their own stores. If they have them in the USA it must be major cities like NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.

Samsung apparently sold 3x more smartphones in China than Apple. Samsung gained 2x the market share during Q3 and Q4 of 2011. Apple is apparently going after China with the next release of the iPhone which will support the radio frequency for China Mobile.

my question is do i have to unlock the bootloader to install a custom kernel?? i have the xperia play r800at running the clockwork mod v5.0.0.2 with a recovery installed
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Is it the r800x or the r800i. Regardless, the bootloader must be unlocked. The phone version just decides if it is possible or not
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
its the r800at so how do i know which roms will work i really dont want to brick it that would suck lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4493700:
There are really good roms out there that cannot brick your phone. Anyway if it does brick u can always fix it yourself. The rom totally depends on what u what. Speed, looks,etc.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
You need to take out the battery and look for a "R800_" the blank being a letter like x,i, or c. If you don't want to unlock the bootloader try the darkforest rom

http://darkforestgroup.com/forum/index.php/topic,11307.0.html

The COLA rom is really fast but simplistic and the market is incompatible at this point with google play being released

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442557

The IT-rom is based upon COLA so it is blazingly fast but inherently has the out of date market.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459456

If wifi doesn't work on any rom, flash the stock wifi modules.

If the phone gets stuck on the sony ericssion boot logo, use SEUS to restore to stock everything

how can we install? (sry im quite new and want to add it to the wiki)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Ah the delightful soft brick. To fix download this http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/Sony-Ericsson/Update-Service.shtml and follow the instructions to update given after install.

After following the instructions to "update" your phone; use the zergrush root method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 to re root, reboot, install this apkhttp://www.google.com/m/url?ei=aW1f...kQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNFpwILPy8Rr-eZVSBJ8hrxtAyACAA, and run it to re install CWM.

Your apps should be there but if not:

Reboot into CWM and flash the nandroid I hope you made before doing ANYTHING. If you didn't make a nandroid, restore a titanium backup or start re downloading the apps you had installed.

After your done, backup your apps with titanium backup and make a nandroid backup as well.

Also I'm curious to what rom you tried to flash and the settings you uses when flashing as I might be able to help you flash it correctly.

welll thanx for the info im thinking since im a noob at this i tried to install 3.0.5 darkforest rom but it might have been the wrong one becuz there was a 3.1.0 as well im i wiped sd card before installing rom too i waited about 30 mins for phone to boot but wouldnt boot at all
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
well darforest 3.0.5 is what i installed but i may have confused it with the 3.1.0 too grrrrrr also you said to take out battery and search R800 well i tried that and it wouldnt work grrr
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Make sure you got the darkforest 3.0.5. You can get it OTA here. Also make sure ypu untick the options that say GSM only and also untick the option that says "format /system"

Type this into the dialer: *#06#*

If it comes back with a MEID you have a R800x. If it comes back with a IMED you have a R800i. Also if you are on Verizion in the US then you have a R800x

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
All of these don't need the unlocked bootloader. COLA and IT-ROM are nandroid backups that must be placed in the folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. The downloaded files need to be extracted into seperate folders. Eg: .../backup/cola6 or .../backup/IT-ROM. The files can be flashed through the recovery option in CWM.

As for darkforest rom, it needs to be downloaded, and the zip file must be put into the root of the sdcard. From there it can be flashed through the option in CWM to select a zip file to flash.

Darkforest rom also uses the AROMA installer (touch screen capible rom installer) which is fantastic because it makes installing and selecting instalation options incredibly easy.

Also what is this wiki? I would love a link to this.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
wiki has instructions how to do it all which i think is a great idea here on this awesome site if its possible and all ya know is that arma installer on the market or was that the link u sent me?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Aroma installer is in the darkforest rom zip. It was that installer wen you flashed it.

Okay the imei means you could unlock your bootloader if you wanted to. It also means you have the r800i.

To flash darkforest rom, download it via darkforest ota (see previous post), move it to the root of the sdcard with astro or es file manager. DO NOT UNZIP! Go into CWM, wipe the cache partition, then find the darkforest rom zip,and flash it. When the installer comes up, UNTICK the option that says "format /system" then press install. After it is finished SAVE THE LOGS. Then try rebooting and tell me what happened

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Yeah us R800x users have to pay to have our bootloader unlocked :( and the dev has to be on.his computer to do it. Oh well.

Let me know how flashing goes incase something pops up that's bad.

Also the sony ericsson logo that pops up that has the green thing above it is the boot animation. It will be there for like 5 min. It just takes forever on the first boot for some reason.

bro i hope u get on soon i tried to reset to factory with pc companion but it says theres no update for phone????
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
If you are flashing darkforest then you must flash normally by going to the option that says something along the lines of "select zip from sdcard" from there, there will be another option that will say something like "install zip from sdcard" now navigate to where the file is (if it is in the root of the sd card, press up on the volume rocker and it will take you to any zips on the root of the sd). SELECT THE ZIP FROM DARKFOREST. And then select yes.

It should say:

"...

...

Starting aroma installer"

The aroma touch screen installer will then start.

When asked to select your device pick the R800i.

The next screen will give you some installation options.

UNTICK "FORMAT /SYSTEM" YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT!

press continue and when the phone is finished flashing, press reboot.

Cheers
