What is your batch number ? HT25 ?
[HTC One X] fcng:
Could be...

fknshwow,

This is most likely a SH/HT 25 batch. If the sticker states differently than the previous, than probability of 25s are high. This looks promising...:)
[HTC One X] WebghostDK:
Again... I had all the screen issues mentioned, not since the last 2 OTAs.. As said before, they were software related not hardware related
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well if the sticker is changed and like death_machine said it comes with 1.28 out of box it might be a newer revision, why not

can the OP and death_mashine tell us the first five letters/digits of your serial?

do you have screen ripple on outer screen edges pressure?

maybe HTC got superstitious from all return and changed the sticker lol
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
Does this mean my sticker is now a collectors item?

I'll want $100 for it.
[HTC One X] KrisPerry:
Hilarious
[HTC One X] fknshwow:
well who knows... they did that with the transformer prime.... they made the stupid thing out of aluminium thus the gps doesnt work at all and wifi strength is dramatically reduced... asus didnt test it, they just shipped them... and when people started complaining that the gps was fk'ed all asus did was remove gps from the official specifications on their website, and made a new revision a few weeks later. i believe the new one is either a TF300 or TF700 or both
[HTC One X] fknshwow:
not 100% sure on the number, i took the phone back.. came across a new fault that i havent seen before... got like a huge white spot at the bottom of the screen... i thought it was a bunch of dead pixels behind the screen but now im think it might be something else.

so i take that back... its ALMOST faultless... but i duno guys, to me it looked like a new revision, the general build felt more solid.

and no idea if the sticker means anything.. but im just saying the latest batches arnt coming with the original sticker so i assume they are changing things with the phone
[HTC One X] fknshwow:
and no, like i said no flexing, so no ripple when you put pressure.... non at all. thats why i thought it was a new revision... i took it back so i cant give numbers.. came across a new fault i havent seen before
[HTC One X] Kickasskev:
I got a faultless phone aswell, only problem is I'm stuck on 1.26 cos o2 are **** with there updates :-) other than that I'm well pleased

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] fknshwow:
i get that... took optus ages to release their first update. may i ask how long ago did you get your one x?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well the bunch of white pixels, you mentioned are probably hot pixels, pixels that emmit more brightness than the others

i switched my second HOX becoause of that issue, my third is SH248 and its perfect

this topic is pointless if you dont give us the first 5 letters of your serial, go to settings>about>phone identity>Device serial number

mine is SH248, i.e. made in Shanghai, China, April the 8th
[HTC One X] Mistrio:
I, too, got my third replacement yesterday. So far it is faultless, one yellow spot appeared after couple of hours of usage, but then disappeared. I cannot detect any of the common issues I've had in the two last phones or read about. It is HT23 and came with 1.28. The sticker was the normal, though.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Serial - HT24M

Screen doesn't ripple when I put some pressure on the edges.

P.S this is a middle east version

The only problem so to speak is the touch-sensitive panel lighting, its on sometimes and off sometimes :confused: but am not gonna take it back for this. Please tell me a solution if you know any.
[HTC One X] nikorette:
To be dead honest I didn't haha. I see more and more posts of the same sort of nature on here and its really quite sad. As Barry said its very close to what other people are saying.

Your the man Bazza. You got me real good lol.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well revision theory out! HT24M = Hsinchu, Taiwan, April 21

someone already reporting April 27 on the Serial thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25957987&postcount=48

The change sticker is most due to the ME version, also the 1.28 firmware since it introduces an Arabic keyboard

The sticker is most likely changed due to the sensitivity of the Arab culture about touchy feelings lol ;)
[HTC One X] louis.b:

I hate people who say **** like "I'm so pissed off at HTC this time I'm not gonna buy their products again and I'm gonna boycott them." Yeah, like Samsung never screws up. Even at their best they are still crap. You can forgive Samsung/ whatever brand but insist on hating on HTC. Trolls.
[HTC One X] mdalek:
I got a HT24M this week from 3UK with the I'm the one... sticker and I must say it is faultless so far no flexing/gap issues with the screen or any flickering/corruption to speak of. :D

[HTC One X] Meltus:
No, you were unlucky to get ones with faults. The amount of faultless devices will vastly outweigh the amount with faults, it's just people with faultless ones don't post about it on forums. Did you not see the poll (faultless vs faulty)? The amount of votes for faultless was much higher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585082&highlight=fault+poll and that's just on XDA.

I got mine the day it was released and mine is faultless.

[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
All of the 3D photos I take on the Evo 3D come out fine, but some of the photos I get from external sources (Such as the Phereo 3D app), seem to be reversed. Parts which are supposed to be in the front are pushed back, and vice-versa. Adjusting the 3D dosen't appear to work as this just seems to change the virtual distance between the eyes. It seems more like the left and right eyes are reversed. Tilting the Evo 3D to purposely reverse the effect causes them to display properly.

Whats weird is that half the images I save form Phereo 3D do this... and the other half come out ok, despite all of them displaying correctly on the Phereo 3D app.

Any easy way to fix these photos that have the 3D effect reversed?

When you trade your phone in to BB do they care if its rooted? Should I relock my phone and flash a stock ROM or just wipe it and give it to them.

Depends on the best buy. Yes they aren't suppose to take any phone in if its been rooted or flashed to another network.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
For the life of me, I cant figure out why I can never restore my back ups after testing out various roms and kernels. I know it has something to do with the kernels and/or recoveries that are used when backing up and restoring but I cant seem to figure it out. Every time I try to restore a backup I usually get an MD5 mismatch and it fails. I THOUGHT that if I did the backup and restore using the SAME kernel/recovery versions that it would work, but that doesnt seem to be working. Is there something I am missing? Ill give you an example in case you have any tips.

I was running Calks v1.5 for awhile, then decided I wanted to try the AOKP rom. As noted in the AOKP thread, to restore, Odin the EL26 CWM kernel/recovery and run a back up. So I Odin the kernel/recovery, ran the backup, then attempted a restore just to see if it worked. Successfully able to restore from within that same CWM session. So I Odin EL26 CWM again, and this time flashed the AOKP and gapps and rebooted into AOKP. No problem there. Messed around with AOKP (which is awesome) but wanted my daily back so I Odin the EL26 CWM again, and tried to restore the Calk 1.5 and got the MD5 mismatch.

What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Are you renaming them? They can't have any spaces in the name, must be something like aokp_may10 instead of aokp may 10
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
Son of a *****!!! lol I definitely renamed the backups after they completed so I would know which one was which. And definitely had spaces in the names. So thats screwing up the MD5 hash? If I rename them back to what they were will they work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I used to get that all the time if I copied the nandroid off to the pc and back.

Anyway, if that's not the case for you, I think it's because you are on a totally different version of recovery.

Wipe the phone using Calk's Format All, install Calkulin's v1.5 rom from scratch, boot into recovery and THEN do your restore.

Edit: Well, I saw you beat me to it on the post. LOL

I'll be your Plan B then. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
Nah I did the backup and attempted restore from EL26 CWM (so I could flash the ICS rom "safely"). I also didnt copy them from the SD card so hopefully thats one less reason for the failure. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
That im not sure of, but try to rename with no spaces and report back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
!!! It f*cking worked lol. Many many thanks!! And to think of all the time I have wasted reloading roms from scratch... :beer:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rthorntn:
Hi,

I hope you can help, I have trawled the threads and just have a few scattered pieces of the puzzle.

Can somebody please walk me through this... I have a stock XEF note fully updated and would like to put the german DBT one on there.

I am not worried about backing apps and settings up or perm root and would like to retain the ability to get upgrades by kies or device software update, is this possible?

Would the easiest way be to root and change the code in the file to DBT and use kies, DBT does not seem to be an option with the *#272*IMEA#?

If I need to root to do this, whats the easiest way to do it, market app?

Thanks for your time.

Cheers

Stock instruction - No root

Here's my instructions for complete noobs (including myself). I hope it's helpful to some people.

Warning: I read from one of the members that if you have a custom ICS (beta), this will brick your phone. I don't know whether this is true or not, but it worked fine for my Checkrom v6 Gingerbread device.

0. Download and install Samsung Kies. (to get the USB drivers)

1. Download the ROM file from here using software such as utorrent:

or from directly from here.

Source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

2. Once the zip file is downloaded, extract the file inside. You'll have a file named something like xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5.

3. Download Pc Odin

Source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Extract it to a folder somewhere. This software will be used to push the ROM image file to the phone. Since the ROM image is stock, it won't increase the sneaky custom firmware counter.

4. Power off your Note.

5. Hold Volume down & Home & press Power button. Then when you see the Samsung logo, let go of the Power button. Your phone will boot into Odin/download mode. Press Volume up when asked to. Now you are in download mode.

6. Connect your phone with usb cable to your computer.

7. On your computer, run PC Odin. Then click on PDA, and select the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file that you downloaded.

Don't touch anything other than the red boxes. Then click start. (In this picture I don't have the phone connected, but when your phone is connected, the box under ID:COM will be yellow with port number in it.)

Downloading should take about 10 minutes.

8. Once done, you'll see your Note booting up into ICS. You can do a factory reset if you want, just to make sure it's nice and clean.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp79:
Glad that it's working. By the way, this instruction I posted up there will overwrite the kernel too because stock image file contains everything. Other people are using Mobile Odin Pro, but I don't want to buy that software as I don't think I'll be using it many times. I'm going to wait for rooting mine. For now, stock setting without root works fine for me.

flashing DBT outside Germany

Pardon the absolute noobness, but I wanted to make sure that by flashing the DBT file, I won't suffer in the long run.

will be there any adverse effect of flashing a firmware designed for a german carrier or the german country? Will my Note start looking for wrong frequencies?

Would I need to do a second flashing or load a new CSC file (whatever that is) after I'm done?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terjeofnorway:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NutZInTheHead:
@hp79, That is a wonderful guide. thumbs up for this. I saw this guide after I flashed ICS but used the same procedure you have posted.

If you don't mind can you answer one question of mine as best as you can.

If I want to revert back to my GB do I follow the same procedure that got me to ICS.

I ask this because when I go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and click "checker" and I enter my phone model and my phone is the Hong Kong one so I select TGY. But I didn't write down the PDA, CSC and modem codes when I had GB. So now I have forgotten them.

So in order to get back to the GB I originally had is the TGY (Hong Kong) sufficient enough for me to manually look for the GB in the list under Asia and get the GB 2.3.6 I originally had?

Would this take me back to the GB I had before I flashed ICS (Germany)

I hope I have written this clear.

reason I ask this is because just in case something goes wrong or I decide that ICS is not good for me right now I want to be able to go back and without me noting down the PDA, CSC and modem codes of my GB I cant download the correct ROM. All these questions I ask is to make sure when later I update through kies it wont stuff up.

Thanks for any answers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp79:
Maybe someone with more knowledge can answer you question, but I think the frequency for GSM cellular band is standard for everywhere, and the phone should support all frequency it can make use of. I know for sure that there are differences in wifi channel support depending on country and regulation, so there could be missing wifi channels in 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. I'm in U.S, and my original Gingerbread firmware was UBKK with Spanish language when I turned my phone on for the first time.

I flashed between 5 different kind of region of stock Gingerbread ROMs using PC Odin on my Note, starting from UBKK1. I also tried some custom Kernels in ClockworkMod, but I never changed modem codes or anything like that. So you might know more than I do. When I used stock ROMs, they all worked right after flashing, but sometimes there were missing apps (or even additional apps) and I just needed to do a factory reset, and then I would get everything to default out of the box condition.

Since I never tried going back myself, I can't say for sure, but I think it'll take us back to Gingerbread using PC Odin and stock ROMs.

It's not bug free, but I really like how ICS is. Bugs I encountered so far - in Amazon appstore, I couldn't click the "install" after downloading was finished. I had to reboot, then I was able to click on that. Another bug, I paired a bluetooth keyboard, but wasn't able to type with it. After reboot and re-pairing it's working perfect. Another bug, using Torque, when there is no BT device, it kind of stalled the whole app and screen went gray. But these could be bugs from the software and not the OS. Everything else is much smoother now. Unlocking screen has much less lag. Remember the lag and choppiness in Gingerbread's unlock screen? It's much better now. Stylus support is much better too. You can display a small dot for your stylus on the screen, just like tablet PC now. So you have better precision. Sad thing is that Papyrus is only for Gingerbread. (Papyrus is like mini version of OneNote to me as I use Onenote on Tablet PC.)

I do miss having root though. Can't install Adblock, can't get rid of the camera shutter sound, but still I would never go back to Gingerbread.

I just connected my phone to Kies on PC and it says "your device does not support software upgrading via kies."

So my previous post, if anyone can answer that I would appreciate it.

Cheers.

Sorry I was typing when you posted above.

In that case I will wait until ICS officially comes to my area and then I will start putting stock GB ROMS on my device to see if Kies recognizes it as official and then I will upgrade to ICS via Kies.

Cheers.

This is a decent thread noobs...if you are a total virgin relax flashing a ROM isnt as scary as you think...its so much easier and fool proof than it was just a year ago let alone a few years ago

If you are worried about the binary counter or want 2 avoid custom roms all together follow the simple instructions. You can find the original instructions by Dr. Katen in his basic Stock Roms thread found in the Android Develooment section.

IF you have a stock ginergbread rom and you follow these instructions, you will have a stock ICS wo any effect to binary counter or problems whatsoever.

You could then easily root the device with the EZ CWR method found in other threads however there is rumor that CWR is causing corrupting a few sectors of the internal NAND flash memory....one confirmed brick so far....so you may want to hold off on that until a "safe kernal" is developed for rooting or the issue w CWR wiping and LPY is figured out.

im running stock ICS wo any issues whatsoever so far...has some lag backed up did a fsctory deset running very smoothly. Am now waiting for Cyan to drop a new ROM based off LPY or for the chefs 2 put something new together off LPY after the rooting issue is worked out.

Happy flashing
