SODs are killing me mate. Totally ruining the experience of CM9. I so wanna stick to this ROM for all the very good reasons. But with the phone becoming less an less reliable, don't know how long I'd be able to pull on with CM9 (for the moment at least, untill SODs are sorted out)

EDIT:

Dunno why (not at all logical) could it be beautiful widgets causing this ??? Everyone suffering from SODs, are you guys using Beautiful Widgets ??? Just a guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SquirtingCherry:
im not using Beautiful Widgets, but im gonna install them for you to help pinpoint the SOD issue, maybe the answer is much more simple to the issue than we all think ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Since you already doing it, I was on 5x2 Super Clock, with ICS CONSTRUCT LIKE theme.

But you' have to buy it. Pointless doing it if you havent bought it already.

EDIT: I have 3-4 hours going strong and then bang, SOD, just when I dont expect it to.

Thanks mate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mahmood:
i am using beautiful widgets and never had any SODs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hav0c:
Try data wipe + clean install. Don't install/restore any app and see what happens (for a day or so) Then you know if it is the ROM or an app you are using.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Ah, there goes a theory outta window.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raistlin82:
What if we make a list of our apps? I mean we could just write down modem, cm9 build and a list of apps. Experiences Sod or not

It should be easier to find the cause

I've never experienced the SOD on my Note running CM9, and that's with a lot of apps and widgets running. I do get it daily on my Tab 10.1 running CM9 though, so obviously something subtle going on...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
As pointed out earlier, Franco-GB-Kernel did provoke the same on certain phones where it didn't on others. It turned out, newer models (bought Februarish) were more prone to it than earlier Notes from 2011. It also produced a graphical glitch where the whole screen would fill up with just noise pixel by pixel. As soon as he updated the sources to some updated version, it went away. Could be that the current (update4?) sources contains a similar source code issue from which newer Notes suffer but older ones don't.

Mine is bought in November and going strong as ever. No issue except the known ones, say no mike in handsfree...

Sidenote: beautiful widgets 4x2 +1x1 + 1x1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Trijunction:
Friend.. I think thats the problem.. I think you have to clean the salte and use the phone in virgin mode for some time.. better back in TB and delete all apps.. and keep installing one by one and see how it progresses...

I am damn sure some app is misbehaving.. whenever i cross 70 or 80 apps on my phone.. i used to get all weird problems. you just cant say..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
I'd bought my Note in the first week of December as well. Odd !

EDIT: I HAD restored User Apps + Data from TB. Could be the culprit ???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
In short - overheating problems blamed on the firmware are the fault of an app. Same old story.

CSC does nothing on non-Samsung firmwares. Honestly, I want to start looking into something similar to CSC handling for CM9, because there are a number of areas where CSC blows our region handling approach out of the water:

1) APNs - There's no good way to auto-setup proper APNs for AT&T HSPA+ plans with the current CM approach

2) Wifi region code handling

You probably have a corrupted internal or external SD - reformat them and reload your media.

You cannot flash the kernel included with this and boot a Touchwizz firmware. DAFUQ uses the same recovery as CM9, you can try that.

Some of those items could take a few months... Think of the announcement as the start of a new coding project, not of a release.

Thank you for your bravery and the sacrifice of your phone. I'll amend the PSAs later today.

I'm beginning to think that too - that's what the Sprint E4GT community has been doing.

It may only be 5-10% of people that brick with affected kernels. Some people just seem immune.

You can't flash CM without a CWM recovery enabled kernel... Once you're on CM9 you have CWM recovery, but getting there requires having CWM to begin with.

Rebuild? No. Pull in some changes? Maybe. Once XXLPY kernel source drops fixing speakerphone should be easy. We can probably pull in some of the blobs too.

No, it's based on I9100 update4 kernel sources. After chasmodo's report above, while we may pull some bits in from the N7000 kernel drop when it's released, we will NOT be rebasing on it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vap0ur:
There is a note, not sure if it's in OP, advising not do full restores from TB. Would advise the same as above... do a CLEAN install, and leave the phone running with minimal apps for a bit.

Then you can restore them one at a time, and try and find a culprit. Slow I know, but that's your best bet right now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Had read that note, took the chance, and only restored USER APPS, not system.

What am gonna try now is Wipe Clean, reflash, Restore Apps from the market using Appbrain. Wont fill in data, that way apps will be dormant and start using them as needed and see how things go.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pvillasuso:
WOW I read late .

Would have suggest to use the captivate unbrickable method to try to get into download mode ..

I guess nobody with a bricked note has tried it yet...

Hope you get your note soon mate .

Anyone posted a video of CM9 running on the note? I'm curious to see what it's like as I'm interested in moving to CM9.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hav0c:
How can you flash the modem only? I have downloaded the complete .md5 file. The modem.bin is in it but how can I only flash that file using Odin for PC?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hav0c:
Watch any other CM9 video on Youtube. It's the same :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antiochasylum:
You need to find just the modem, Its floating around here somewhere. Search for it.

Edit: here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hav0c:
Thanks but as I said. I have the complete LPY file (+600MB )and the modem.bin is in it. Can I just select it in Odin as phoneand flash it as modem?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mug2k:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hav0c:
Assumed Odin could only flash .md5 file but apparently .bin files as well. Just wanted to be sure before screwing up the phone. I come for HTC phones only. Completely different world. No Odin for flashing things to start with. Thanks, it worked.

Well, there's your problem.

Probably not the ROM what is causing your SOD...

Do a clean install with data wipe / no market restore and report back..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Down to 80 now. That too after a full wipe, fresh install from AppBrain. So hopefully, should be good this time. Ditching Nova as well. Going with Trebuchet !

EDIT: I had close to 150 in Stunner. No SODs there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Dude. It has to be the data restored.

Most of the devs across the devices I've owned don't even suggest Titanium for any restore purposes.

Especially restoring in ICS. It sucks but you gotta man it up. I just don't get attached to games or just learn to lose data when you flash.

Remember I posted before about "why would you wipe data in recovery if you were going to restore with titanium?". You've just soiled the clean startup and a chance to avoid nasty buggy complications.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
What sacrifice? It'll come back from the repair shop perkier than ever.:)

Now back to my trusted Nokia. If I flash Abyss 4.2, perhaps I could overclock it?

Let's see...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Lesson learnt. Just wiped everything clean. Reflashed CM9 and the XXLPT modem. Installing apps through the market (hate it, but have to listen to Gurus like you :) ).

Hopefully, I have a smoother ride this time around :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BUBA0071:
I have done the same with no probs at all, i have done full wipe and i have used CMW for flashing all kind of stuff on lp5-lp6 and now lpy. I dont think i can kill it. Mine is from Desember, hmm. Are all hard-briks from Feb and later?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Nope, mine is also from the December batch.

And it had survived all the Repack torture, but this new LPY kernel killed it stone dead this morning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antiochasylum:
If anyone cares to know, CMWallpapers made its way into CM9 now, was in the build from last night.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Werent the wallpapers already there ??? If not, where ? ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
1) Unbrickable hasn't yet been made operational on Exynos devices - Samsung DOES do signature checks of their bootloaders, and the old Hummingbird dev boards had special bootloaders signed with the same signature. The Exynos dev boards use unsigned bootloaders that won't boot on handsets. (I probably paraphrased this horribly wrong, but in general - no one has done a full Unbrickable resurrection to my knowledge. They've enabled the appropriate boot mode but can't get anything to boot with it yet.)

2) The experiences of users of other devices indicates that Superbrick somehow damages the eMMC chip in such a way that not even JTAG recovery will work. That's why I've taken to calling it Superbrick - Almost any other form of bricking can be resurrected with a JTAG box - this can't!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BUBA0071:
Oh this is ****ed! I am comming back to CM9 no more LPY fot me!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
As someone who has run into you on various forums (mostly Marketplace) ... DO IT! It's awesome. I have NO SOD's, with the mods avail you can full customize almost to the extent of AOKP and it's smooth as hell....

Other people report otherwise, but I think they're fail with following instructions frankly.

My point exactly... I have not once posted about it overheating because 99 times out of 100, it's something the user can prevent...

Guess what, I started closing Pulse properly and viola, the thing hasn't overheated in a week.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matius44:
I can choose CM wallpapers in build#7 :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
Man I'm glad I waited. Not to rub it in cause I was cocky too... I abused the hell out of my phone on the i9220 repacks... flashing various times and wiping quite a few as well.. No damage that I can see. In fact, it runs the CM9 better than I expected considering how many people complain.

Really sorry to hear about the damage, glad you're sticking around :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hav0c:
Same here.

I've had 1 time that the phone freezed while doing a wipe when on imilka CM9. After that it did not boot anymore. Could not flash anything in CWM. When trying the phone just locked up. Formatting /system freezed the phone as well. So I was stuck in CWM.

Fortunately download mode still worked so after flashing stock via Odin all was fine again. Haven't had any problem since.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antiochasylum:
Wtf, Lol how did I never notice this. Apologies for my stupidity. Lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Were these all caused by LPY kernels (well I know chas's was, sorry man)? If so I'm not touching it with a ten foot pole!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] copperdawgnc:
I am going to TRY to look at the APK's see if any of the new goodies will run on CM9
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Chas's was LPY, Chainfire's was more traditional bootloader bricking (JTAGable), jkay's was physical damage caused by his son dropping the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Narada2XK:
Wow, I am seeing quite a few hard bricks here and there, isn't flashing the LPY tar file with MobileOdin safe, then using CWM to flash the CF kernel safe? (Coming from stock, rooted GB with CF kernel)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NoRmAlY_CrAzY:
There is something definietly wrong with the LPY kernel,even I for an instance had a panic attack when flashing anything on the phone was not getting completed while reverting back to CM9.

Everytime the phone tends to reboot while the flashing system or restoring system was in process.

But really feel bad for chasmodo coz know how would he feel when something new would be there for flashing.You are an asset to this community chas,hope to see u with the phone soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Sorry mate, but this is not the appropriate thread to post such a question.

Go to Q & A.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Well I'm still not touching it with my pole. Thanks!

Now how about an update for CM9 with a microphone fix, so I can relieve my flashing finger? It's been a while cuz I'm still on v3. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
So did I. The build (#4 it was I believe) was unstable. I went the long route just to see if it's me. It was me. #7 running very smooth.

Or MobileODIN.

IMHO Apex is cool. Using the hell out of it since yesterday and is performing very well. Trebuchet is cool, don't like that it can't hide apps in the drawer though. I really don't care about Flash Config and my operators SIM Toolkit blah among others... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pvillasuso:
The idea is to force it into download mode

The note is totally bricked , so what is the harm trying that method ?

It takes like 5-7 min to know .

Re:

same thing happened to me while flashing XXLPY official ICS for my note. I kept getting the phone FC ....and it just kept going on n on......I then decided to go into Download mode, then flashed a GB rom.....then restarted. Success!

Then CWM recovery, wipe data, cache & dalvik & restart. then back to Download mode & flash the XXLPY.

Everything worked perfect after that !!! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oxytoxine:
Thank you so much for this; running great!

One nitpick: the camera has severe focusing problems since i flashed. Is this a known issue and would maybe a camera app from the market help?

Sorry for the a) not that relevant (i assume camera is rather secondary for most of you guys) and b) noob question (but i am a cm noob). Search function gave hundreds of hits regarding the early cm "camera does not work" issue, but i found nothing relating to cm 9 and Note specifically.

Thanks!

Actually, it is quite useful.

Text messaging is a quick form of e-mail, and like e-mail, they may have information you are interested in later.

I really can´t stand the fact, that people are

still

resistant against the thousands of hints, saying that it´s so damn important to read the first post carefully. What is it that a dev can do more beside coloring the important parts in red, make them bold etc. Just to make that clear: Hey, I am far from being pretty productive on this board as well, more kind of a hardcore "user" of XDA´s incredible outputs. So it´s not that I´m a professional in ANY part here. But reading before flashing (especially when its all about a device that costs that much) is the first and only rule one has definitely to follow.

Sorry mate, don´t take it personal, but this is just ridiculous...again and again :confused: ...but of course, I am sorry for you if your device really got bricked :( :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
1 - Kernel in CM9 is a modified version of the Samsung I9100 update4 source base. It has various stability fixes, and is the same source base used to build for I9100 and I777 CM9 (just a different defconfig)

2 - gapps - Google it - seriously, it's not hard to find

3 - huh???

4 - Not sure if Trebuchet can do this, I know Apex can if you change one of the settings. It's a launcher thing.

5 - Should be

6 - huh??? I can't understand what you're asking here. If you mean whether CWM is safe once you've flashed CM9 - Yes, the kernel included does not have the risk of hardbricking as far as we know as it's built from known reliable sources (I9100 update4). So you can Nandroid back and forth between this and a GB firmware if you want. You can also Nandroid back and forth between this and a Touchwizz ICS firmware IF and ONLY IF you are running my Touchwizz kernel (currently called DAFUQ but the name may change) on it. (Eventually other kernel developers may start building from the I9100 update4 sources, but right now DAFUQ is the only safe Touchwizz ICS kernel I am aware of.)

7 - emmc is external, sdcard for internal, this will be getting swapped soon to be consistent with all other AOSP implementations

8 - Should only need to do a cache wipe when updating. Heck, I don't even wipe cache most of the time, but you do that at your own risk of weirdness.

We use the same GPS libraries as touchwizz, so yes - GLONASS should be supported. Right now the GLONASS satellites don't report as locking, however I believe this is just a display problem due to Samsung changing around **** in gps.h without documenting the changes. Figuring out exactly what is going on is on my TODO list - GLONASS support was one of the main reasons I wanted the Note.

Don't do it - Just because one person was OK doesn't mean you will be OK. A lot of people with affected kernels are able to use them without hardbricking - but others will hardbrick with the same kernel. That's what makes them especially dangerous, they result in all of these "I survived so you will too!" posts.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Yes - but you must Odin/Heimdall DAFUQ first.

Also, no need to flash the zip version of DAFUQ if you're only using it to flash this.

I'm thinking we need to post the boot.img from CM9 as an Odin-flashable .tar for the purposes of providing a safe recovery.

There's a possibility the audio blobs from XXLPY may fix the microphone. If not, there's something in the kernel - and I can cherry-pick the audio changes without bringing in superbrick once kernel source drops.

You didn't read what I wrote at all, did you? I just said that no one has succeeded with Unbrickable on an Exynos device, and your link to a Nexus S (HUMMINGBIRD, not EXYNOS) post does nothing to disprove that.

And the harm of it is that you cannot perform Unbrickable resurrection without modifying the phone's hardware, which will cause Samsung warranty service to refuse to repair the device due to unauthorized rework (This already happened to a few people that attempted to use JTAG recovery services). The ONLY devices I am aware of that can use the Resurrector without hardware modifications are the Galaxy Player series - and maybe only the Player 5.0. (That post implies the Nexus MIGHT be able to do this without hardware modifications too - but no non-Nexus Samsung phone can be Unbrickabled without hardware mods.)

It does NOT take "just" 5-7 minutes to know - Resoldering the OM resistors correctly is a delicate task that requires opening the device performing delicate work with a soldering iron. Add to this the fact that the location of the OM resistors is unknown on this device, and you're talking many hours of work and likely sacrificing at least one device for research purposes. (Might get lucky though, as the OM resistors may be in similar locations to I9100/I777.)

And as I stated before - if JTAG doesn't work due to eMMC damage, neither will Unbrickable even if someone manages to solve the code signing issues required for Unbrickable on Exynos.
