thank you, TS

Sadly, I haven't read this thread before I messed up my Nokia X :(

Bought it last Sunday (May 11) by night time it was bricked :crying:

formatted system, data, cache, sdcard or sd-ext partitions (and rebooted)… carelessly

It is now in the hands of Nokia Care (thank you warranty!! I hope they will rule it out as “factory defect” and not by flashing custom ROMs, never mentioned it to them though, I insisted that I just updated it to latest Nokia stock Android software and won’t turn on afterwards) just called them earlier and ruled out that it’s a “hardware” issue though I highly doubt that!! :p Expecting to have it back next week! I'm so excited.

I am new to Android (iOS user for a long time) expanding my horizon with Android and on Nokia's first Android device :)

P.S.

Please point out If I should not be posting it here? From the title its "General Knowledge" and may apply to my Nokia X as well right? and not only to GS II? :cowboy: hope I enjoy my stay here in XDA :)

Reading here and watching videos I tried quite a few things but always get stuck, either on Nand Write, SBL1 or FactoryFS.

I tried different versions of Odin3 (1.83, 1.85, 3.04, 3.07, 3.09)

I even tried to upload Pit File/s:

i9100_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4-patched-standard.pit

u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit

The ROMS I tried:

GT-I9100M_BMC_I9100MUGKG2_I9100MUGKG2_I9100MBMCKG2.tar

I9100MUGMA5_I9100OYCMA5_I9100MUGMA5_HOME.tar.md5

Kernel File I have:

Kernel_I9100MUGKG2.tar.md5

Prety Sure that I am over my head here, thats why I am here to get some help ....

If someone can please provide me step-by-step instruction how to reflash my phone, and matching file names in case I have mismatch ... dont care what ROM as long as I can use it ...

Get stock room origin in download mode ok!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
I got my mhl addapter but it is not working correctly. I hook the addapter to the hdmi cable then hook the power using the cable and power supply that came with the phone and finally connect to the phone. I do hear a beep and see the phone charging so i know the power connection is good. Most of the time i dont get anything at all in the monitor, sometimes all i get is a flashing of the screen as if a signal is coming and going and in a handful of instances it had work but it would play video very chopy at both the hdtv and the phone screen, like a frame every 3 seconds. I try my larger hdtv and exibit the same behavior execpt that i never got it to work. I realize the addapter migth be defective but in the other hand i might be doing something wrong. The videos i tried both works fine in the phone by itself. One is off youtube and one is a movie saved in the sd card.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alnova1:
I have trouble getting mine to connect to my monitor. It takes me many tries but when I finally get it to work I don't have choppy video like you are talking about...everything runs smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bclark:
You have debugging off, correct? Other than that it may be your adapter as mine has yet to give me a problem on any TV
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
The debugging set to on was causijg the lag in the video. Thanks. After i got that out of the way i played with it more and realized the reason i dont get video has to do with the usb cable. I can play with it and if i put pressure in an upward direction it works. So i know i do have a defective addapter. I will try other usb cables but this is a good working cable and brand new. Another issue worth to mention is how horrible the video quality is. It looks like real redish, no sharp at all. It reminds me the old time when we only had over the air tv signal and you were getting a signal from a distant station. Is this normal? I wasnt expecting 1080 full hd signal but if this is the way it is supposed to work then maybe i dont need this addapter after all. Anyone care to coment on their video quality?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
I tried at work on my pc monitor with a hdmi to dvi adapter. I had no problem getting the adapter to work continuously but video got choppy again even without debuging on... I will do some more testing later...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
hate to bump this but if anyone using mhl can chime in and let me know how good/bad is their video quality on a 32 inch (or higher) hd tv I will appreciate it much. If what I saw in mine is the way it is supposed to look then I might as well save my money and watch whatever I am watching in the phone itself....

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mathman76:
I'm having the same issues, too. Would like to know if anybody knows how to resolve this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
I hook mine up to my 55in LCD every once in a while and the videos play at almost the exact quality as what's on the note's screen. The only difference I've noticed is the picture on my TV isn't as bright as on the note when playing videos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mathman76:
Mine is good from time to time on a 42" screen, but the sound cuts out sometimes, and occasionally static goes across the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
So I should see good quality... Tonight I tried my work monitor. I hooked a hdmi to dvi adapter to the monitor, hook the hdmi cable to it, then hook the cable to the mhl adapter, hook the power, then hook to the phone... It worked great, the audio was coming out of the phone which I was expecting to have to bluetooth to my pc to use it for audio as you loose your audio feed when going hdmi to dvi. Videos were looking great, no lag in audio, no skipping or anything. I played youtube videos off dolphin, stock browser and the youtube application with no problem. Played different videos just to make sure it was not the content. Then played some of the movies on my sd card. All great. The only issues I would have is at times I lost all video for several seconds (total back screen) and sometimes when I loose video I would get snow. I rearranged my monitor set up since I use dual monitors at work and wanted to have use the dvi connection on the secondary monitor instead of the first. Then I tried one more time to make sure it was all the same before heading and trying at home... It started failing the same way as at my home. Video will play a frame every 2 or 3 seconds, no audio and sometimes not video at all...

I am going to change this adapter, any of you that is having success care to share who did you bought yours from?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
OK, no vodeo for me, checking why not.

Got video and good sound, works with AnyNET+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Im happy for you. Where did you got yours from? I am expecting anoter adapter tomorrow from a different company and it is also supposed to work with anynet+. The seller that sold me this one just returned my money and told me I did not have to return it so I still have it. Pending if the other adapter does the same or not...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Got the new one today, it does work on both of the hdtvs at home with no problems. Anynet does not seems to work on the 20 some inches tv but It does work for my camcorder. At work it didnt work right until I turn off/on the phone, then it stopped working when I tried again after the phone went idle and I switched the monitor to the pc while I was working a trouble. Now it wont work at work even after a reboot. I get that one frame per every2 seconds problem. I am going from a hdmi cable to a dvi connector but it did worked fine before..

HELP!

I am trying to build a kernel for my N7000 (HK version),but there is something wrong.

my steps:

1. download the sourcecode from opensource.samsung.com:

N7000ZSKJ6	GT-N7000_HK_GB_Opensource.zip

2. after reading the help text file,i got some command done:

make arch=arm c1_rev02_q1_defconfig

make

3. the make going well,and i got my zImage at arch/arm/boot

4. i flash the zImage to my phone using K-tool.apk.then restart.

my phone keep going reboot.the kernel is not right.

the zImage file i make out is only 3.9 MB,while the stock kernel is almost 9 MB.

i also edit .config file according to this thread

the zImage do not work too,it size change to 3.5MB

Any help about what is wrong?how can i make a runnable kernel on my N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatanZ:
Your kernel is probably missing the initramfs image.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WereCatf:
Do you have ext2/3/4 and VFAT modules built-in or as external modules? How about MMC modules? Framebuffer? Are the kernel boot arguments correct?

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Oh, and one rather obvious question: you are using ARM cross-compiler, not just x86 GCC, right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_4879119:
thanks , that is the problem.the initramfs is missing.

according to this wiki i extract the initramfs from stock kernel.(the shell script do not work on my mac,but the match point is correct)

now i am looking for a way to make up a runnable image with kernel & initramfs.

bty,is there anything else i show put into a runnable "kernel" image?
[General Questions and Answers] liammozz:
I am thinking about getting a netbook because carrying rounf my 20" laptops is becoming a bit of a drag. Looking through the different netbooks available there are a few that allow sim cards, so i was wondering is it possible to use the netbook as a phone with the android os for netbooks. with ICS coming out it will now have official version of chrome so i can use all the chromebook features inside the android os, having the ability to use the netbook as a phone as well would make it one complete package so i was just wondering if this is possible.

thanks for any info
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] alvinhochun:
I recently just got a Neo V from a network provider without a plan. When I installed PC companion and plug it in, it prompts for a firmware update and I did. After that, the rubbish apps of the provider still remains.

Recently I unlocked bootloader (SETool?), fastboot into CWM, and adb pushed Superuser.apk and su (by myself), and it is rooted.

So with these two events, a question comes in my mind: How does official firmware update work? Does it 1) flash the system partition, 2) replace files only, or 3) by other methods?

I was thinking that if it was 1, those rubbish apps should have been removed and if I update again it would be unrooted. But if it was 2, wouldn't it be either more difficult to update or less useful?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
It flashes the firmware to the system partition, but they check which firmware you currently have, and download the same firmware version with the same bloatware.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dice1212:
You can remove the bloatware with rom toolbox it's the easiest way
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lietotajs:
For me, it totally replaces system partition, but leaves untouched user partition. My phone was be rooted too, some bloatware removed and some programs moved to ROM. After update, blootware was be restored and programs, moved to ROM, deleted!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] alvinhochun:
Well I understand apps under data is preserved and they can be uninstalled using default Settings UI.

So rom update is region-specific?

These apps (bloatwares):

$ ls /system/app/*_

/system/app/com.game.crazyfarm.apk_

/system/app/com.kaixin001.activity.apk_

/system/app/com.kobobooks.android.apk_

/system/app/com.mas.apk_

/system/app/com.skysoft.kkbox.android.apk_

/system/app/com.sonyericsson.androidapp.lunarcalendar.apk_

/system/app/skyphoto.hk.shotnprint.apk_

I added an underscore to prevent them from being displayed, so they actually exists in firmware update?
[HTC EVO 3D] clickboombang:
Hey guys :p,

I'm thinkin' about buying the Otterbox defender to use my Evo as an navigation system for motorbiking. I found a how-to for building a holder. The Defender would fit perfetctly in. Problem is: Not water-proof. The defender is only water resistend and I'm afraid the evo 3d won't survive rain (not planing to ride through rain but it happes from time to time). I know the ballistic hc is water proof but it has a few cons for this purpose...

Anybody made experiences with rain and the defender? Any alternatives?
[HTC EVO 3D] dukynko:
Never use mobil phone for bike navigation.

Weather, vibrations and you never know when you fall down, you can lose everything in your phone.

I use only standalone navigation on my bike...
[HTC EVO 3D] clickboombang:
Hmm... that's quite a surprising answer to me. I thought the use of an otterbox is to defend the phone from weather and vibrations. Vibrations shouldn't be a big deal anyway as there are no moving parts like hdd inside the phone. And of course I could fall down but then the phone would brake anyway 'cause I always take it with me (for the case my bike brakes) so with the otterbox defending it I calculated a higher chance for the mobile to survive. Tell me if I'm wrong but that'S how I see it...
[HTC EVO 3D] dukynko:
It's difference between phone mounted on bike and phone in my legbag.

Vibrations on bike are bigger than in car, it's not good for sim and sd card slot.

But the bigger problem is moisture and wind....otterbox is not waterproof.

That's my opinion after many years on bike :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] demondor:
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I'm an SGS2 user but am trying to help a friend out who has Tab 8.9. He's not very familiar with the custom rom scene. I'd like to know what stable roms you'd recommend for someone who wants a stable, clean, bloatware-free rom(doesn't have to be ICS).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Kasracer:
I'm really enjoying the CM9 rom. It has a couple of issues but it's incredibly stable so far for me. It might be helpful if he can live with the current known issues.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] demondor:
Well the thing is I'm looking for something he can stick with for a long time without having to worry about any issues. Chances are he's never gonna actually flash anything himself which is why CM9 doesn't seem to be the best choice for him esp with the camera not working
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] safir187:
He might enjoy the latest overcome.

He doesn't have too many options after all.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] subtil123:
I tried Overcome ROM and i can tell that it's very stable and the fonctionality like camera working fine. The camera not working under ICS CM9 and Galaxian Soup ROM. The Overcome is not on ICS but HoneyComb.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
is it stock? If it is you need to flash cwm through odin and then flash vk1 radio from t989. I'm not sure if the stock rom plays nice with different apns, so i recomment flashing a different rom as well through cwm, like mhx superlite or a silver's sti. Then u should be able to select proper bands and make apn changes.

Hi. Thanks so much for responding. After unlock. I installed juggernaut v5.

I'm running an ATT skyrocket on Tmobile network as well and I have tried every current ROM/Radio combo to try to get ACTUAL 3G speed and cannot. My phone tells me I'm connected to H/3G but i'm still getting Edge speeds. Did you ever resolve this? I am about to do what you did, with the skyrocket convertion zip + juggernaut v5. These are old ROMs but I will do anything to get this working on the Tmobile network. I am wondering if you have since found a new ROM to get this working? Maybe something ICS or JB?

The prompt is to select the account you want to import the contacts into. There should be a "Phone only" (or similar) option. But, just in case, if you want synchronization across multiple devices I would reccomend Exchange ActiveSync (Most notably Hotmail).

hey guys,

I have a sgs2 and my case just broke (just wear n tear did not drop it) its the SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Ultra Capsule - YELLOW

I really like colour but its barely lasted 4 months esp for that price...

Having read the reviews I see people are highly recommending both:

- case mate tough case

- otterbox case

trouble is i can only find them in black and I really like a colourful case but cant justify spending £20 every 4 months

So what would you do? Is there a nice yellow / blue reliable strong case out there or do I have to go for either one of the other 2 mentioned above, in which case which one would you choose?

Please help

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bazzag:
Pretty and tough don't mix well together.

I have the Case Mate Tough, it's a very solid case especially for the price ($16 on Amazon). My only gripe with it is that it's a dust magnet, but nothing a quick wipe can't take care of.

The Otterbox Commuter is similarly prices, and looks slightly better than the Case Mate, however I think it's a little bulkier. Yo can't go wrong with either.

If you want a coloured yet strong case, check out the Trident Aegis. I'm not a fan of it's design though.
