[General Questions and Answers] saesky_03:
do you mean 6,000 pesos?..hmmmm samsung galaxy y is best for your budget.. you can also try acer...i forgot the model just search it on internet... it's cheaper than samsung galaxy y
[General Questions and Answers] Hidjes:
I would definately choose for the SGS2!

It has a great developement section, so you can always upgrade using ROMs!

I think it is above your budget, but it gives you the highest price/quality ratio.

It has an 8 MP camera with LED flash.

Even after 7pm today, the new Galaxy is being shown, the SGS3 so the price of the SGS2 will fall by the appearing of his new brother:)

People expect the SGS3 will be in stores in approx. 7 days, so I should then watch the price of the SGS2!

[General Questions and Answers] dhale009:
i wish that s2 may have another brother like s4, 5, 6 and 7. So that SGS2 would go down to Php 6000 haha. Coz i want it.
[General Questions and Answers] Gringster:
Being on a tight budget, I would even recommend that you go for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus.

As I've had it for some time, I can assure you that it performs really well with the right ROM and tweaks.

Also, it currently has almost fully-working builds of CM7 and CM9, and you can expect a lot of other custom ROMs, although there were some issues in development.

My battery got drained and the powered off, so i charged it and turned it on , the phone got stuck on the bootscreen.

go to download mode and flash a stock kernel. search in this forum how to do that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tknguyencsu:
Take out the external SD card

download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your external SD Card

Also download the Rom you want to install and put it on your external SD card.

reboot to CWMR

go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it

go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery

you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery

factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik

flash the Rom of your choice

I tried to flash abyssnote kernel but when i flash it the installation is stuck on 'Installing update' and it just stays there and never progresses in any way.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matius44:
You lost root mate..

There is a thread with "Stock Prerooted GB ROMs", go there and download any one and flash it using PC Odin..if flashing with PC Odin succeded but yo0 still get bootloop reboot to recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe, it'll boot without issues

Then go to Chainfire's thread and get the CF Root kernel for the ROM you just flashed, because the prerooted ROMs don't have CWM recovery..fladh that kernel using "already rooted.bat" method described in post #2 in Chainfire's thread..

You'll end up with stock rooted GB and CWM recovery..from there you choose what you eant to do :)

I have a similar problem. After installing Stunner ROM on my note, it work for a bit, but then I don't remember what I did, it is now stuck on boot screen. I can't do anything except boot into recovery.

Did I lose root? How exactly can I fix it. I read the post you referred to, but I can't do anything when I execute Odin with my Gnote N7000 connected to my PC. Can you tell me how exactly I have to do? Please provide the exact link for any software I need to download.

Thank you! Yes now I have communication to the phone using Odin! :)) But I 'm still trying to figure out what exactly I need to do to get back on stock GB and then go from there (ie. what file(s) I need to flash back to stock GB. My original GB version was 2.3.6). If you know, could you please provide me the link(s) to download those files. I did tried "wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache" in recovery as the other gentleman suggested but did not work. So I guess I do need to flash back to GB :(.

PLEASE READ: This will only work on a stock, signed S-OFF HBOOT. Do not try this on a patched or ENG HBOOT or the result will be a permanent hard brick.

1. Boot into fastboot on your device

2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to where your fastboot binary is.

3. Type the following commands:

fastboot devices

Ensure your device is listed

_________________________________

fastboot oem readsecureflag

The output should read something like: secure_flag: 0

So for all intents and purposes, it will look like it was never HTC Unlocked then? My g/f has a Vivid, and she's very picky about going to the darkside of rooting, because she doesn't want her warranty voided. If it can look like it's been returned to stock, that would help.

Were you soff before you did this?

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Read a little in this thread...people have reported after returning to s-on there hboot Displayed locked

Which I believe...when I did s off I was unlocked but after I was locked (not relocked)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MisterSchnapps:
yes i was s-off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Maybe re s-off and then do this again...

Why do you want it to show locked?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the "locked" or "relocked" thing have to do with the bootloader, and nothing to do with S-Off? I assume flashing the PH39IMG.zip or running the RUU to return to stock will change "relocked" back to "locked".
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
To tell you the truth I'm not sure my self...when I first went s-off it changed me from "unlocked" to "locked" ...and someone reported after returning to s-on it said "locked"

Who knows...maybe it returning to "locked" was just some freak accident for both of us...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
That is correct if you unlock your bootloader it will change to unlocked. If you relock to flash ruu it will read relocked. I am s-on so I can not answer on what it reads with s-off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
Hold on. So there is no way to change relocked back to locked? For warranty purposes, shouldn't the phone say locked, or they would know we voided it by unlocking the bootloader...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
I tried this on my phone back in May Post:

And it works it defiantly said locked wish I took a screen shot then but didn't.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
Thank you so much. That is very helpful.

Does anyone know how terrible it is for warranty purposes if the device does say "re locked"? Why is this not a bigger issue that's talked about on here when it comes to returning to stock? Thanks for any potential info.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rajendra82:
It is one of the biggest myths that ICS adds HW acceleration to the UI that GB lacks. Here is the truth straight from the horse's mouth:

https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/2FXDCz8x93s

Bottom line is Both GB and ICS have HW accelerated graphics for animated windows. What ICS adds is a check box to force HW acceleration within the windows, but checking that box breaks applications, and also adds extra overhead that is unnecessary. ICS overall is a smoother running UI with more polish than GB, but it's not because of the reason you believe.

Thought ICS was optimized for dual core as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Surrylic:
I personally think the voice to text interface is a lot better. For example, when I'm texting on ICS using voice, the microphone box doesn't just disappear and start "working" to figure out what you had said. It translates your speech to text in real time and you can actually pause to think without having to hit the mic button again. And you don't even have to hit "Done," you can just hit Send and the keyboard minimizes to show the whole chat again. To top it off ICS allows you to select words or phrases and correct them if Google got it wrong.

I didn't realize how much better this all was until about an hour ago. Last night I switched back to GB because on the leaks half the time my text wouldn't go through and I wouldn't realize it, or I just couldn't get them to send. Can't wait for the full stock version to release

I love ICS for multiple reasons. Chrome browser for one, smoother more polished graphics and interface as well. Going from GB to ICS on my atrix and HP touchpad...then back to GB on my note really made me appreciate ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I've been using it since I upgraded to ICS, and my dad got on me about not actually locking my phone. In my opinion, it's just something new and fun, not necessarily better than the other unlock methods. In my experience, it has a negligible effect on battery life, and I unlock my phone probably a hundred times a day or so. I still see roughly the same battery life as before I was using it, so it's at least insignificant enough for me to not be able to tell.

Like somebody else said, it can be a little less practical, but I only notice it being less practical than the pattern, and only when in bad lighting, as then it doesn't work and forces you to a secondary unlock, either pattern or code. When you're in good lighting, however, it can be the fastest method to unlock. So in my eyes, it's basically a wash.

Also, I get the random, "The f*ck did your phone just do?! Does it recognize your face? That's sweet!" from anybody who hasn't seen it before. This also leads me to believe that people like looking at your passwords, so in that sense, face unlock is awesome because nobody can really steal your password. Unless of course you have an identical twin or a dedicated friend that carries a picture of you around. Or they cut your face off Hannibal Lecter style. Haha.
