[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Yes, I went through similar, but not exactly the same difficulties.

I spent about four hours the first night.

I wasted time because the video on jBear's website showed the phone in hboot, so I thought I had to start the procedure in hboot. However, the phone is supposed to be booted normally, and connected to the PC in charge only mode with usb debugging enabled.

After many many attempts, I gave up and could not get my phone to boot normally. This is because the jBear process replaced the kernel. I had to find a stock kernel for my GB version and the adb/fastboot commands to restore the kernel.

I continued the attempts on the second night.

I was using a yellow insulated paperclip, with some of the insulation stripped off at the ends. I noticed that I had not bent the paperclip optimally. When it reached over to touch the ground pin, then it was no longer perfectly vertical at the other end in pin#1 hole. After making sure the paperclip stayed vertical in the pin#1 hole while touch the other end to ground, I was successful within a few attempts.

BTW, I think the last wiretrick which was successful was alot faster than the recommended 1.75 seconds between groundings. Play with different delays between touching the wire to ground.

It did take an incredibly long amount of time for me too. I have read that for some others it was very quick and the wire trick worked within 4 tries.

After I succeeded to have S-OFF, I thought I didn't have the new hboot, and manually flashed it oodles of times. My GB hboot showed "ENG S-OFF" which is the new hboot from jBear for GB. The hboot screen didn't match other people's because jBear gave a different looking hboot for those on the ICS leak firmware.

I used a spare SD card. When jBear was finished, the SD card was unusable and needed to be reformatted.

I probably didn't need to Unlock, but when I did Unlock the new bootloader it went back to factory defaults. Good think I had a nandroid backup to use.

If you decide to try again, it is very important to have good contact with what is in the pin#1 hole.

Regards,

Howard

I think what is throwing ppl off about the video, is that it was made BEFORE the process was finalized.

meaning, I was actually watching the same video doing my beta testing, also the process was a little different, they way it is now, is actually EASIER than it was initially., believe it or not.

but the video is for basically one thing,

and that is to show you exactly how the wire trick works.

using that video for instructions, honestly will not do you very well.

you need to read and use the directions given.

and use the video only for getting an idea of how and where and when to tap on pin1 + gnd.

hope this helps. :)
[HTC Rezound] theascended:
Originally I was using a 20 gauge wire which never seemed to make proper contact. After that I tried a paper clip which seemed to only make sporadic contact :( I'll find something better to use. I have 10 gauge stranded wire that I can peel down to fit for pin 1... we'll see if that helps.

To all of you who seem to complaining that no one reads instructions, I assure you I read everything very carefully multiple times before trying. I just failed to do the wire trick properly and left my phone in an unusable state. Just thought I'd share with anyone who has the same problem (which I imagine will be more than 1) how I managed to get my phone back.
[HTC Rezound] darkmeridian:
Don't try s-off if you have the sticker of death. The little sticker blocks the contact on my phone. I thought I scratched enough off but it disagrees. So no s-off and a dead phone.
[HTC Rezound] theascended:
I've not seen anything about stickers covering pins. Care to explain a bit more, maybe provide a picture?
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I had the same trouble that you did but finally got it last night. I just used a paperclip and the metronome hgoldner made and it worked perfectly.
[HTC Rezound] Andro X:
They mentioned it in the Amaze section on the unlimited.io website.

"Note1: On one device used during testing we discovered that an internal label (the circle that can be seen through the back cover above pin 1 in the photo below) was misplaced and was covering the contact point.If that is the case on your device this can be remedied by powering off you phone and removing the battery, then using a sharp pin or needle to scrape away the parts of the label covering the contact point."

If you're still having trouble with it I can try to help you on GTalk. Just let me know.
[HTC Rezound] kain72:
Lol at least you get to the wire trick part. For some reason I can't even get that far. I have adb and HTC's drivers installed. Phone shows up under device manager, controlbear finds and reboots it, gets to the screen with the arrow down and then can't find my device anymore. Pull battery, finds it in fastboot, reboots it again and same thing.
[HTC Rezound] Andro X:
When i got stuck where you are I closed Control Bear pulled my battery and booted to hboot then flashed my boot.img and recovery.img through fastboot. Then booted into my rom and made sure my sdcard was not borked (if it is then format it on PC or on a phone). Then start over again. This was my rinse and repeat process I did a couple times until i got it.
[HTC Rezound] kryptik06:
Even though its not recommend (due to static) I say just use a paper clip, it worked in about 4 tries for me. I tried using a insulated wire but I just kept failing over and over again.

edit: nvm didn't see that you said you tried paperclip. ignore post lol
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
Yeah, I used the stranded core of a coax headphone cord. I think the core insulator was just a little too thick for the hole, and I successfully made contact only after I exposed a little more wire. I'd seen pictures of what's under the holes, and I didn't want many loose strands that could short things out, and I didn't want to scuff up the board too much either.

I used a metronome site with 100bpm ticking on my PC, and waited three ticks after the first contact. Bear gained access on the first try.
[HTC Rezound] Andro X:
That's what she said.:D:D:D
[HTC Rezound] phaedrus43:
Very thoughtful of you to acknowledge the people that help others around here. ;)
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I used a paper clip while at work, no electric tape, 2 hands. Granted I took my feet off the carpet/floor while sitting in my chair. held one point in one end then tapped the other point twice. Worked the first time flawlessly.

I don't see why everyone is having such a hard time.

[HTC Rezound] It IS Lupus:
It took me a few tries. But I got it to work after about 10 tries. However, like OP said. The new boot img prevented my phone from booting. restoring from a backup fixed it and i'm currently in the middle of moving my data back to my SDcard. In fact OP giving me the Idea to restore from a nandroid is what got my phone to boot. So for that I thank you.
[HTC Rezound] theascended:
I'm glad I helped someone Lupus!!

I did finally get it to work tonight... almost.

For some reason, the final step where the tool puts the phone into RUU mode failed and the phone booted into the recovery image. I rebooted into hboot and it showed S-OFF with the stock hboot so I just manually flashed the jhboot zip file per the FAQ linked in the OP and then reflashed my boot and recovery images for good measure. Unfortunately, the data/cache was somehow wiped so I did still have to do another restore, but all seems to be well!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rupalazzi:
Hello guys, I'm thinking bout flashing a ICS rom to my GT-N7000, I'm thinking about trying a few, so far I've donwloaded CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V2 and ROMOW_V1_ICS_GT-N7000.

ATM I'm just reading how to flash them so I don't screw things up, but I'd like to hear which one you recommend?, any others I should try? (I kind of like the S-pen functions)

BTW, my note its properly rooted and with CWM. So if any of you have any advice, I'd like to hear it.

Regards from Venezuela.

I'm using ICS stunner which works really well for me..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jurrea:
I've tested Alba LP6, Team Rocket ROM, Liquid,Imilka CM9 and now Criskelo V2 whit LP6 modem and I'm very pleased whit its performance and battery life is good enough I really recommended its use as daily ROM, I'm very happy with my Note its the best phone I've ever have.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadrick.7:
Ics stunner
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
ROMOW hasn't had any development or updates for quite some time now.

So, if you're dead set on choosing between the two, go for Criskelo.

BTW, I'm running Stunner like most of the guys who posted here.

It's a fantastic Rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rupalazzi:
Hey guys, thanks for your comments. Maybe I'll go with stunner. It does look quite good.

This brings me to another question. Almost all ICS roms instalation guides tells you to flash I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK and the rom later, yet I saw a guide here that explains this won't be necessary if you flash AbyssKernel.

Based on your experiences, what would you recommend as the safest way to flash any ICS rom?

Again thanks for your answers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
Neither is very safe, heh. :)

But that's part of the fun.;)

There are always things that can go wrong, especially if you are not extra-careful when following the flashing steps.

[HTC Radar] danielgr:
This may be a stupid question, but I just can't find a straight answer anywhere, so hope you can help.

My problem is I bought an HTC radar C110ein JP hoping it'd get extensive language support like my IS12T, only to find out it was a HongKong unit with just English and Chinese display languages.

The issue is this was supposed to be a present for someone that can only speak Spanish.

I was suggested in another thread to load a stock ROM for Europe, but none match my current phone version (so it'd be a downgrade):

- Firmware: 1600.2200.20301.708

- RadioSofware: 16.23.03.17_16.27.00.23

- Bootloader: 2.3.160015.3(134621)

My questions are therefore:

- If I get one of these European stock ROMs, will I get also the language packs delivered by default in the European region (which include the one I want, Spanish)?

- Will my phone be updatable through the regular Zune channel afterwards?

- Should I rather get the newest, oldest, or it doesn't matter? (assuming I'll get the updates normally)
[HTC Radar] ukicar:
Earlier I have that worked on my trophy ... I guess that's the same ....

1 - yes

1 - yes

1 - yes
[HTC Radar] danielgr:
Could you please explain me how did you get that to work…

As I wrote elsewhere (link), I tried to transfer my phone with the European RUU/ROM, but unfortunately I get an error:

- "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"

Seems that it's not that easy to load a ROM from a different region even if the phone is unbranded... Any ideas as to how to get it done???
[HTC Radar] ukicar:
repeat .. it was a trophy ...

approximately as described in the post.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tangra:
Today Google Wallet became officially available for my Yakju Galaxy Nexus on Play Store and I installed and activated it on the device. It worked fine. I then decided to flash the Takju ROM, also available from today. GW is included in this ROM. Upon starting Google Wallet the application got stuck on "Initializing your device". While researching the problem I learned about the NFC Secure Element problem. I was almost ready to return my phone when an idea came to mind. I recalled reading some place how a chip/part of NFC is indeed in the phone battery. I currently use an OEM extended battery. I replaced it with the original battery, which was not affected by the application. To my surprise and amazement Google Wallet started with no problems. At this moment from the within the GW application I did a reset. Changed batteries again and this time GW started again with no issues and with the extended battery that was initially in the phone.

In brief, to fix the problem follow these steps:

1.You need to find a second battery, your own or borrowed from a fried. This new battery, if already used with GW, needs to first be reset from within GW.

2. Place the battery in your phone, activate GW, confirm everything works.

3. Reset GW from within the application. Take out the second battery.

4. Place your first battery back in the phone and start GW. Enjoy GW!

5. The second battery is good for new activation of GW too, since you reset it already in step 2. Thank your friend for the battery.

If I saved your phone, I'll appreciate a small donation to buy a beer. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jblack41510:
Any1 try this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
I believe you are correct. I had a secure element error when I upgraded from liquid 1.25 to 1.3, but it was fixed when I flashed a fix for deep sleep and Google Wallet that I found on the liquid thread. However, when I was doing some research, I came across a similar statement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
I'm having the same issue. Tried a friends battery and no go still get stuck on the initializing the device. And when I go to settings and click more it freezes settings and force closes. Flashed back to stock and went into settings and clicked on more and went in fine. Started Google wallet and stuck again. Went into settings/more and bam. Froze again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
Do you have a nandroid of when it did work? I had this problem, but when I flashed my backup everything worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wilsonium:
The Battery Does Not Matter...

The battery only has the antenna. It does not contain the actual NFC chip or secure element which are in the phone.

If its missing the original box how do you ship a phone?
[General Questions and Answers] dlmx:
I have sold a ton of phones on ebay, if it does not have the original box, then i bubble wrap the entire phone and then bubble wrap the accessories separate, then I go to the post office use one of the priority mail envelopes and stuff the phone in that, and then lastly put everything into one of the flat rate box's and send it on its way. Never had a complaint from anyone about that.

hope that helps

[HTC Amaze 4G] bri.kwong94:
So like most users, I was very excited to hear about the ICS leak by Football since I've been waiting MONTHS for some sort of development on that.

Getting impatient on waiting for CM9 and Evervolv builds for the Amaze, I really wanted to try this new leak for T-Mobile. So I figured that in order to do that, I must get S-Off.

It seemed like a tedious process so I've been holding it off for a while. Now that I've got a copper wire and everything, I wanted to do the deed once and for all.

So I accidentally flashed a stock rom (which I thought was a good thing since the instructions said I needed a stock rom), but I seem to have lost root access. Superuser runs, but battery calibration says I need to have root first and Titanium Backup doesn't work. However, my phone still says unlocked and I can still run ClockworkMod Recovery. The S-Off program tells me that there's an error. Is there anyone that can help?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
Well you are on T-mobile so you have two choices here. you can S-off if you want to have total freedom or you can revert your phone to stock and relock your bootloader and flash it and then re-unlock again. but remember flashign this without s-off may prevent you from getting s-off later on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bri.kwong94:
Well, I can't flash the PH85IMG without S-Off, right? Because on the HBoot screen, it would load the file but i wouldn't be asked if I wanted to install it. So I had no idea what to do. I thought I had to have S-Off to install it. Does this really mean I've lost root even though my phone says unlocked and I can run Clockworkmod?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
you can if you lock your boot loader and revert the phone to stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bri.kwong94:
Well, how do i revert it to stock and reroot it exactly?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
i think you can use this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
[HTC Amaze 4G] porkchopexpress:
Pretty sure you just use fastboot to lock, open a command prompt with your phone attached in debugging mode, type in fastboot oem lock, then install the stock rom listed in the development section. (If I am wrong on this, someone please feel free to correct me.)
