[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubgirl:
Hijacking the thread a little bit since I noticed the Doc was here and it involves downgrading to stock ROM ;)

I'm on a rooted LC1 rom and want to downgrade to this stock rom... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20208273

I'm downloading the file right now and have about 45min left so I don't know exactly what's inside the archive.

But... do I really need Odin to downgrade? In my case... isn't it enough to flash the rom using CWM?

Thankyou so much for replying Dr Ketan :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubgirl:
Update:

Download has finished and the file inside the archive is called N7000XBKK4_N7000OXXKK5_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5

I renamed the extension to .rar which allowed me to extract it. Inside are the following files...

boot.bin

cache.img

factoryfs.img

hidden.img

modem.bin

param.lfs

Sbl.bin

zImage

Any assistance on how to downgrade to this rom would be highly appreciated :)

Can it be done with CWM recovery?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
First.of all, dont manipulate qith file name.

Just extracted upto .tar.md5 is enough.

Another thing you have cwm (it needs cf root cwm, not stock recovery) then you can flash it with that, if you want to keep root intact.

You can.also use pc odin to flash any stock.ROM. With pc odin u will lose root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubgirl:
Thanks Doc.

In my case I want to lose root because I'm sending my Note in for repair. Can I just flash with CWM recovery (choosing to flash everything including the kernel) and I'll be back to an early Stock ROM without root?

Thanks again Doc for taking your time :)

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Then best way to flash it with pc odin.

This will auto unroot u too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubgirl:
Thanks again... flashing with Odin was easy and it didn't increase the counter. :)

Unfortunately it didn't solve the problems I'm having so I guess I have to send my Note in for repair. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577638

Hi kramevans,

To ease your concern and worries, try watching this video from Ashwin:

I myself had the same doubt until I watch this video and perform the downgrade and rooting, step by step...and am now on custom rom... :D

Thank you doc, planning to root/flash my note to ICS. I don't know where to start(afraid in some case) to do it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danwteik:
can we unroot our phone to get back warranty???:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Flash any Stock ROM with PC Odin, will unroot device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SatAmnesiac:
Just so I understand...

I have just bought a GN7000 off contract, so unlocked and unbranded. It has the same LA6, 2.3.6 and radio as the OP.

I've some experience with Android because I've rooted my HTC DesireHD, but not a lot. I want root to run Titanium and some other things that require root but have no real desire to flash additional roms (certainly not at the moment).

If I understand what I've read, and the sheer number of different posts and cross referencing means its hard to get a clear definitive view of what the current state of play is but as I understand it the options seem to be:

1. To root the phone without getting the warning counter you need to flash (with odin) an old samsung firmware then you can root it. If you upgrade after this you will need to wipe the phone and start again, and, you will need to use other tools too.

2. I also read of Mobile Odin and the post on that seems to indicate it can root the newer ROMs, but does it cause the warning counter to get updated or is it safe from that? Can I un-root a phone rooted in this way?

From the look of things option 2 seems the way to go, if I can understand the answers to the questions - which I can't seem to from the posts I've read.

Any help/advice would be most welcome.

Cheers

Hi guys. I’m new entry with N7000, from all point of views and I need your help.

I have this firmware on my phone: PDA N7000XXLA6; PHONE N7000XXLA4;

CSC N7000OXXLA1 (note I am from Romania – Orange carrier – and the phone is unlocked).

Before custom ROMs, I understand that I must do a downgrade.

Can you, please, tell me:

- what stock ROM should I choose (from those posted by Dr. Ketan) for downgrade?

- is it necessary to do a factory reset or any other thing before flashing stock ROM with PC Odin?

Thank you

Done it.

Thank you all for your posts.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hpsauce37:
I know that there have been lots of grumbles about xperia s (and i still have a few myself) but since i have updated to .73 the battery life is amazing!

I have 2 email accounts syncing at hourly intervals, timescape widget checking facebook updates, phone has had bluetooth on all day (connected for about a total of about 3 hours while driving and i have made 2 calls lasting around 15 mins each while on bluetooth.

result....

Battery up time - 11h 47mins

Battery level - 67%!

I think thats pretty good going and a vast improvement over .67

Just wish they would sort my gps out now (location does not work, beautiful widgets weather etc and google location) and also my unread email notification on the lockscreen always reads incorrect.

still gota give thumbs up to Sony on the other improvements.....its getting there! Not far off being perfect now.

Any one know how to use adb over bluetooth in this device ??

I tried 'pand' command from terminal and this doesn't work.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
impossible...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nfs1mw:
try this, for linux pc.

http://fomori.org/blog/blog/2011/12/05/android-adb-over-bluetooth/
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] harish2704:
I already tried this but didn't work

pand gave some error "Failed to open control socket: Address family not supported.........."

then I thought this error may be due to lack of bluetooth module.so I compiled "bluetooth.ko" and loaded.

then the error disappeared but the thing didn't worked..

I think my bluetooth device is not detected by the module because '/sys/class/bluetooth' directory was empty

So still now i am seeking for a solution....
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nfs1mw:
Well it actually is not impossible. I already had it working.

But your phone shouldn't have any issues with BLUETOOTH PAN profile. If having any issues maybe don't expect this to work. And it need not have mobile internet for both phone or PC. Its just phone-to-pc direct connection, no need for internet access point. Lets think there is no mobile internet enabled for the below HOW-to.

Ok here u go. Pair your phone and PC. Initiate BT PAN connection from PC to phone (right click on bluetooth device and select connect-via-access-point). This creates a local connection. Now u need to know local IP address on phone side. Install terminal emulator application and issue the command "netcfg" which lists all connections active. Note the IP address of the connection bnep0 (say ww.xx.yy.zz)

Now open your PC Command prompt and type the command

adb connect ww.xx.yy.zz:5555

it says connected. Enjoy.

Same goes for wireless connection through LOCAL WIFI (WLAN) without internet access point.

Lets think mobile internet is off.

Turn on the portable Wifi Hotspot on the android device and make ur PC to connect to that hotspot. Note down the local ip address of the connection. Then open pc command prompt and type same command as above

adb connect ww.xx.yy.zz:5555

connected . enjoy.

IMPORTANT: First of all u need to enable ADB OVER NETWORK option in phone. This option is present in latest roms like cm7.2 or cm9 or ics roms. If this option is not available u need to find terminal alternatives for this.

Hey people please help me. I am planning to buy the NEO V. Is is a good buy? Is there any other phone that i should look at?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
For the prize range its either Neo V or Ray,if you want the better and bigger screen go for Neo V ;)

About the Neo V all I gotta say is its the best handset out there for 250-260 US$
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] alekmzn:
Is a very goog phone in its price. A recommended buy.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LaurieH95:
Very good phone for the price. It feels very nice to hold along with hdmi port and 3D camera being very awesome. Im using a neo which has an 8mp camera. However neo v only has a 5mp camera. Boot time is ok and very fun to play with!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aamirx27:
According to My Experience, you are gonna Love this Phone Like i do, In its price Class its the best available option for you to purchase. I am having one and i am very happy with My neo v. It does have a 5MP only, but Quality is not Bad as compared with others.

Recommended Buy In its class. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zmbutt:
Best for that price range !

you wont regret !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Degosip:
i have SE Neo and it rox so this NEO V just has to be better :) i hope
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] alekmzn:
No, Neo v is exactly equal than Neo, but with worst camera.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Toz1k:
Neo V is the best choise now!

Very soon it'll get ICS.It's very fast and has a good battery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Earayil:
Thanks for the replies guys...

got mine today:D.....i guess it is an upgrade from my old phone the htc legend
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fotis_13:
I don't know the price of neo v in your country, but

i bought neo v at 200€ and i'm really satisfied. Also, flush the emann rom and your telephone will boost up!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Earayil:
It will cost around 18k indian rupees. As of now I am satisfied with it. A good buy.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] szymko1995:
I've bought new NeoV for about 150€ and I'm happy.

There is no better smartphone for this price.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Earayil:
Totally agree. Best one in the price range. The camera could have been a little better, having said that I still say its a very good package. Any clue on the ics update. SE says mid april wat do u guys think.?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Scallywer:
+1 to all replies. Got Neo, and comparing to Arc its not that different with a + for the front cam. Just a display size difference, but Neo's is enough already.

Hi all , I'm confused , whether buying this Xperia Neo or the Xperia Play...

Please help me of making the choices.. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Before this i was a blackberry user... :p:p:p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
If you want a phone mostly for gaming,get the Play,if you want a phone for multimedia (music,videos,camera) get the Neo.The only difference between them is the gamepad for Play,the screen dimension (4 inch Play vs 3,7 inch Neo),and the camera resolution (5 mp for Play vs 8 mp for neo (or 5 mp for Neo V)).PS:i have a Neo.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] reyyy96:
neo cant play games?

You mean Xplay only can play games as well? Will Neo gets Ics update?

I think I will be getting the NEO
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Both can play games,with Play it will be easier with game pad.

Neo V already got ICS update.Play & Neo will start getting around May I guess.But here's a suggestion,save more money and go for a 1gb ram phone instead 512mb one.Will do wonders in ICS and HD games ;)

Neo-V mini USB/HDMI door quality

hi, I have made up my mind to buy Neo-V in next 1-2 days from Hyderabad, India.

The information I wanted to know from the owners of Neo-V is regarding the problem mentioned in one of the review - the top door cover of mini USB and HDMI port are not well-built and needs extreme care in usage, else it falls of or breaks.

Can anyone comment on this please ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
I'll disagree with that. Those doors are fairly strong, at least as strong as on the original motodefy, just some people are ham fisted.

If you fall in that category, put your fingernail in the groove and just bend your finger it will pop out,things with plastic attaching them aren't really designed to be tugged out of place.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] indranath:
Thats so assuring from someone who actually uses the phone.

Another query - Does one have the opinion of waiting for Xperia U instead of this. I know "XU" does not support expandable mem but 4 gigs of user memory are just fine for me. Any idea when is this expected to release, All I could get is the Q2 of 2012.

I cannot wait more than 1 week, max 10 days :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
No, its not.

Wait a bit more and youd probably get a dual core for the same price range.

In a month, i'll sell my NeoV and go with either the SGS2 or a rumored galaxy Dualcore clocked at 1.5ghz.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] indranath:
Any confirmation on the release date of Xperia U ... ! I am dead over waiting now, shall I wait or get the Neo V. Guys help me plzzz... also single core of Neo V is certainly not a deal breaker for me !!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
I'd say wait ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Guys, the 1Ghz cpu is not that bad, it's the low RAM. A lot of background apps closing on ICS...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] indranath:
I would have loved to wait, but wanted to gift my wife on our anniversary next month 3rd. Seems Sony XU will not be out by then !! :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darkerm:
I would say Neo V good but Neo us better :cool:

sent from Xperia Neo
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
Wouldnt recommend that either. The NovaThor chipset isnt really dated, plus, the GPU used in U is also almost ancient.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
As sdk16420 said its more like ram is not enough problem than processor is not enough,anyway if you are not going to use 10-15 apps at the same time Neo V will work best.I have been using official ics for 2-3 days now and other than ugly ui and ugly old apps :p not much to complain.

About Xperia U don't go for that mate,512mb ram,4gb storage max I'd say Neo,Neo V is a better choice.With a 512mb ram 1ghz dual core kinda will be a waste

Good luck on your anniversary :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] indranath:
Unfortunately, we do not have Neo officially released in India. Neo V was the one which came here. Though Neo is available here without warranty in gray market, I am resisting to go for it.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
It's kinda depends on your country I guess, here neo or neo v don't come with any sort of hdmi cable. And I traded the 2gb card for a screen protector ;-)

For me, I got only stereo headset and 8 GB memory. No Hdmi :mad:

(sent from Xperia Neo)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
I had screen protector and 2gb card also, the trade off was locked fastboot (although that's since been sorted)

So really does depend on country and source, different places will have varying bundles, usually the fuller packs though are via the networks.

[HTC Sensation] Pash.:
Ok guys, having a pretty weird problem here. Thought I'd try and get some help here.

I was on my HTC Sensation today and I was looking at a few of the settings under the 'secret' *#*#4636#*#* menu on my phone. Out of curiosity, under the 'phone information' bit, I selected 'WDCMA only' (from WDCMA preferred) to test the coverage in my area. And after that, I haven't been able to get a sodding bit of reception in any way. I reset the option, restarted, pulled the battery, removed the SIM, reflashed my rom, flashed other roms, tried reflashing and flashing other firmwares, everything. No joy.

Curiously, even though I can't make or receive calls, or send or receive texts, data still works (not wifi, data) - I mean, lolwut? And WiFi works.

And there's nothing wrong with my network because my SIM works fine in another phone I have, and I've talked to Vodafone (which was a frankly useless call).

Does anybody have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Update: Now data doesn't work. Humph.
[HTC Sensation] johnerz:
Go back to wcdma prefered
[HTC Sensation] Pash.:
Already tried that. Turns out my phone has been IMEI locked. Hmm. Which is strange given that it isn't lost or stolen...
[HTC Sensation] Sindroid:
I remember this happened to me on my Nexus One.. that i couldn't set it back no matter what i did..

Always do a Nand backup before tempering with those settings. I dunno how i fixed it but possibly i reflashed my Rom. Try that without wipe..

You can change the options from your account page from google. You need to login to google and easiest way would be using web browser from your pc.

If you can, isolate the driver files and share them with the rest of the community. I'm sure that there are many people absolutely frothing at the hilt to get ahold of them and incorporate properly working drivers into their roms.

You might want to upload the recorded video just for posterity sake.
