[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Your question is quite vague. But will try to answer it as per what i understood !!

If you want to know the stock kernel and modem firmware then you can go to development section and search for modems and stock roms. Link for that in my signature.

But all these are for GB roms.

Since you are on CM9 which is ICS so there are no stock kernels because ICS is not yet released for Note officially by Samsung.

Hope this helps!!

CHeers!

Hey guys,

So i downloaded psx4droid, and im using scph1001.bin as my bios file.

So far i've had a lot of luck, being able to play both .bin and .img roms (ie. parappa, bust a groove 2, final final fantasy VIII & VII.

The problem is when I try to play marvel vs capcom and super puzzle fighter II turbo. With mvc, I can get to the main menu and settings, but it freezes when I try to play the game or go to the galleries. with spfII, i dont even get an image. ive tried multiple roms, both .bin and .img for both.

so my question is: is it the rom? or is it my emulator? thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
if you've used multiple other roms i would guess the images. I've always had luck with this site, try here:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikatachan:
Hmmm no dice on MvC, but i was able to find a working one for super puzzle fighter from nitroroms.com. Tried compressing & emc/unemc. Found on another thread though that it seems to work for the Epic 4g. Go figure.

Tried changing the bin file to 7001, but still nothing. Gonna try to see if the psportable version might make a difference.

better yet, how the **** do you change servers on this app. the scroll screen is one entry high, i get it to move like 2 spots up and thats all
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
yeah the scrolling is ****ty, just hold down and pull down you can scroll all the way down the screen. Just keep holding and scrolling until it moves....
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ok i have ota root keeper installed and its got a backup of my root, so ill be doing dd dumps of this and hopefully joker or someone with some spare time can make it into a flashable cwm without locking the bootloader for everyone else :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Yeah i dont unlock much so it dont bug me really....cant go without 4g, root is still attainable via photon torpedo method. Unlock killed & downgrade not possible via sbf.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ah ok so that method still works for rooting? good to know :)

and id rather lock my photon and give me the feul to look into kexec so we can have a bootloader bypass than a bunch of people get theirs locked for 1080p video recording ;)

also the zip is right in cache :) Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
weird i looked and wasn't there just recovery and lost&found, boot loader bypass would be nice
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
kexec is basically a way to load a kernel off the sdcard, well if we boot up normal and then booted a cm9 kernel off internal storage then in theory you could get cm9 going with a locked bootloader :)

problem is i know nothing of kexec and making it work for us, but its a pipe dream :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
yeah, well gotta start somewhere. Just erks me that even after their unlocked boot loader promise they would still send out a ota locked down. Photon is best phone i have owned thus far but being so locked down will make me question buying another.

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I am uploading zip for unlocked with system and boot.img. Don´t know much about the 4g problem (no 4g reception here), but it looks like the 4g hardware works (can be turned on, and tries to scan). However I cannot try the connection.

Hmm, I tried to upload 4 times, and everytime failed. I give up with my Internet connection.
[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
That's how 4g runs on unlocked bootloader, but it never is able to connect.

Also, anybody with bluetooth issues try this? My bluetooth disconnects periodically (audio streaming and keyboard), and was wondering if this addressed it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
What improvements has anyone noticed as of now? Random OTA's......
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Can someone who has installed this get the ReservedODM value. Might help those with photons that accidentally installed electrify 2.3.5.

From adb shell run(or terminal).

adb shell
su
cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
# cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm

10000000000030003000100004000
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Ok, so from what it looks like it may be possible for those with photons stuck on electrify 2.3.5 to flash this since the ReservedOdm seems to be the same as some. Once we have an SBF it should be fairly simple, not exactly sure how to do it with the OTA though.

So far I have

as recorded ReservedOdm values. It seems the values can go up without a problem so flashing this 2.3.5 over the electrify 2.3.5 should be possible. From what I can tell the first value does not seem to be that important.

Interesting finding lightsword

I've seen you ask alot of people for their values and see you got quite a list. Nice job.

[Motorola Photon 4G] snoopy1e11:
So the only thing that is really different is 1080p video recording and 2.3.5? But this may be a good thing as I see the Droid Razr got an update like this then ICS builds started coming saying you had to be on that OTA to install it

[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Has anyone tried to sbf back to 154_5? That one has repeatedly fixed problems for me when the other sbfs wouldn't flash for some reason. The 154_5 sbf might undo the damage done by the 2.3.5. OTA update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
It won't fix it. The ReservedOdm values get permanently changed preventing normal bootloaders from functioning(although not the unlocked one) However the new bootloader will not allow any pre-2.3.5 bootloaders to be flashed(including the unlocked one). Here is an overview of what we know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfevildruid:
So prevent the updating of the bootloader immediately before applying any OTA or update.

in the update script try this for your 2.3.5 bootloader locking issue. I don't want to work on this, heck maybe you all have already done it. I haven't really paid attention to anything except the radio. If this helps great, if it's already been tried, well ok then. :)

delete ("/ system / recovery-from-Boot.P",

"/ system / etc / install-Recovery.Sh");

Ui_print ("Unpacking new recovery ...");

Package_extract_dir ("recovery", "/ system");

Ui_print ("Updating xxxx bootloader ...");

assert (Package_extract_file ("xxxxbl.Img", "/ Tmp/xxxxbl.Img"),

Write_raw_image ("/ Tmp/xxxxbl.Img", "Nvmotota"),

delete ("/ Tmp/xxxxbl.Img"));

assert (xxxxbl.Set_bl_update (00.3 million));

assert (xxxxbl.Set_mb_update (00.08 million));

resign and apply the update

Just make sure its in the right lines. This would update with changing values and breaking a fuse but not update the new bootloader because of the update if value. If no one understands what I mean I will test it myself but might be a few days. I'm pretty dang busy the next few days.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Yes, that will stop the bootloader from being updated. However once an update.zip is modified I do not think it can be flashed from stock recovery since the signiture is changed and we do not have the neccesary private key to re-sign it. Usefull for custom locked ROM's made for bootstrap(there are a few I think) but that's about it. I was more trying to help those who have accidentally upgraded or bought phones that were already upgraded get unlocked, which this will not help for.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
If you are currently rooted on 2.3.4, will the OTA 2.3.5 update actually install? I remember when I was rooted on 2.3.4 (154_5 build) and tried to do the OTA update to the 2.3.4 (198_6 build), it looked like it would install correctly. However after the phone rebooted, on the lock screen, a message on the top would say the "update failed, installed unsuccessfully" or something like that.

Im wondering by me being rooted in my current build 2.3.4 (198_6 build), would keep me updating the 2.3.5 build OTA successfully. I would much rather wait for the ICS upgrade.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Flashing the 198_7 sbf will stop your phone from getting the 2.3.5 OTA update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfevildruid:
No it wouldn't update through stock recovery but would through custom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfevildruid:
What reasons will 198_7 stop the update? I don't really know yet what differences between it and 6 there are. I may attempt to update and try to keep the bootloader from locking if i can get the guts to pull the trigger. Before I try I will post the changes and see what folks think.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Since 198_7 was never officially released there will likely be no OTA update for it. Once we have the new OTA update.zip file we should be able to just remove the bootloader and flash from there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfevildruid:
I didn't know 7 wasn't an official release. Maybe that's why things seem to be working well with it for me. So basically me trying to make the update flash to stock unlocked without locking the bootloader is pointless and done? Or is there a reason to do it? I'm mobile today and can't ssearch for info today.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I received an email from Motorola stating that my phone needed to be on 198_6 in order to participate in the 2.3.5. soak test and receive the OTA update. I deliberately kept running 198_7 until I could research the effects of the update. Luckily, I never flashed back to 198_6 and have not received the update. :)

Yes, peetr's ROM is hot! I just wouldn't do the OTA update to 2.3.5. I don't want my bootloader permanently locked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
So I bought a photon off ebay that has the new soak test ota. From what I gather, root isn't possible. Correct?

Or am I just having a derp moment...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Root and bootstrap recovery are possible, unlocked bootloader is not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
So yes but we are stuck with the stock rom. Any method works or is a particular one preferred. Only reason I'm doing this is for sixaxis control.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Not true - try Torpedo. (Read the board - it's been quite clearly posted that Torpedo, not OCR, works fine.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Just curious for those that did the OTA update....will the 2.3.5 update be received successfully if your phone is rooted on 2.3.4. I remember when I was upgrading between the 154_6 and the 198_6 update, it would take the update and attempt to flash the firmware during the reboot but after it boots back up after the flash, I got a popup message that said "Update Failed".

I use the stock rom 198_6 and I am just hoping the fact that I am rooted will prevent the 2.3.5 update from upgrading successfully. Any know if this is the case?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:
The OTA would not install on my photon when it was rooted. After I reloaded the 198_6 sbf I was able to run the update.zip from the stock recovery and it installed fine.

Also, if you ever installed any rom with a higher rev version than 198_6 the IT'S will not run. You will need the update.zip file.
