[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sixe:
In order to root my Note to install ICS, I used the CF-Root 5.3 thread but made a mistake...

I put the KJ4 zimage into the InitialCFRootFlasher zimage folder instead of the KK1 zimage.

At the end of the installation, my note rebooted as it was supposed to, but after the Samgung logo I only have a black screen.

If can start in CWM Recovery but not in Download mode (black screen too).

If I connect it to my win7 laptop I can hear the windows sound and in Odin, it there's a connected port.

Tried many things but don't really know what to do and I'd rather not getting things worst.

I search for a thread explaining how to solve that issue but couldn't find one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
Hey Guys..Verizon GN here. I was curious if someone who is rooted with a custom ROM goes to the Backup and Restore menu and clicks Factory Data Reset, what happens?I'm assuming it wouldnt go back to a factory rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you would assume incorrectly. it wipes user data, but does not restore stock images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
I said "wouldn't" assume
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
it just factory resets.... deleting all logged in saved info/apps/etc.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cambunch:
Following the guides in the Development section, if you are to root the TF300T, would simply flashing a new blob file (whether its .17 or .26) remove your root? I am assuming the update formats the /system partition and restores all of the default files. Will this also be a way to restore anything that I remove from the /system partition manually (apks for example)?

I'm not new to Android, but haven't had to deal with blob files or the lack of a custom recovery before.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cambunch:
Well, I can confirm that if you need to unroot your TF300T for any reason, it is a very simple process:

1. Download your desired blob file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1642614

2. Follow method 1 of Wolf's guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628

3. Factory reset/wipe data. All stock AFAIK!

no man i am scared now, even after relocking bootloader it just begins on 3rd dot and restarted and still says could not install.. please help :((
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
If you're sure you've re-locked your bootloader then use pc companion to flash.62, re-flash .42 using flashtool, root and try again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shantusingh:
Thanks alot!!

shew!! mayb what i saw the difference when i first flashed .42 it took time installing system files ..... as i told i mistakely removed sys files in cwm mode before .... so .42 wasn't being flashed the normal way .....

but then as i relocked bootloader (i dont know if it helped or not) i re flashed .42 via flash tools and it installed very fast and then i rooted it again and yay!! when doing .62 update it installed all the dots and i got it back to normal again the .62 gingerbread with root .....

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarathi443:
Good Evening friends.

I have a touchpad with both webos and cm9. Speakers were working fine till a few days back on both the os. But suddenly it stopped working on both the OSes. there is sound on headphones but speakers are out. i have tried searching for solutions but nothing worked. i have erased everything including both the oses and other data. I went back to webos 3.0 but still theres no sound. So is it possible that its a hardware problem even though there was no physical damage or anything? please help.

Thank you for your time.

Regards.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
Yes, that sounds definitely like a hardware issue. If it isn't fixed by running the Doctor and reinstalling everything, then most likely you have bunked speakers. I'd be contacting HP and setting up an RMA for that.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarathi443:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
There should be no problem if you can switch on your bootloader (vol+ + power on).

The solution is in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216982 first post, Method 2 (files available, which is not the case in Method 1.).

Do all steps exactly as written. Then you can flash any CM 7 or 9. But probably you have no way back to froyo.

At least I have tesed it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litle.tony.montana:
the real thing is that i try to flash another sbf file except the one that is allready flash on it at the end of flashing it apears pass but phone wont do nothing.and the real thing is that this sbf that i have on it i cant root it.so?what can i do?

thank you anyway for u response anyway i will wait for more responses from the great minds of all developers because i know if somebody can do it r u (the developers).
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
But I had the same. And this method helped. You loose nothing if try.

Flash with RDSLite (it is eclair with CG5, then exact steps with CM7 and next flash. You will get kind of CM7 (here I also cleared private data from a system which somehow made the internal memory full), which you may stay with or change to any CM, MIUI, WIUI etc.

and i cant say to my friend to buy me another one because he is poor and i care for him.if nobody can help me,i will send it in service and i'll pay(hope to not be so expensive).anyway thank you all.i will stil wait for u answers.maybe u can think at something.

[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
Can we get a list of the "TRUE AOSP" phones? I bought the Rezound after being an iPhone user for years with the idea of flashing ROM'S etc. I found that I HATE Sense and want a TRUE ICS experience.

Well, as y'all know Rezound developers are dropping like flies around her (Protekk, etc...) and the only person doing any consistent work on a Senseless Rom is Scott. So before I make the mistake again of getting a phone that's not gonna give me all the freedom I desire can we get a list of the recent "TRUE AOSP phones?
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
Nexus's are the only true aosp
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
True aosp? The nexus series. There you go. There are other phones with aosp support but not officially like the nexii
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
LOL, yea it's a real short list.......
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
If you want pure AOSP, you can get... the droid Eris!
[HTC Rezound] knucklesmckay:
Developers aren't dropping like flies, just because Protek left. Development is thriving here, but you got to like Sense. The reason I bought an HTC was because of reliability and the fact that it has Sense. I do like AOSP too (I miss MIUI), but I also like Sense.

You could always just throw Nova or Apex Launcher on your devices, or run de-sensed rom. Side note: if you get a Samsung like the Nexus, make sure you get a GSM version. CMDA radios are one of Samsung's biggest weaknesses.
[HTC Rezound] xarmorx:
lolz. droid eris ftw
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
holy ****.

for the 1000000th time:

SCOTTS SENSELESS ROM ISNT SENSELESS!!!

that rom is themed to look it dude, it still has sense ALL OVER IT. it's NOT senseless!

its a sense rom with a launcher thrown on it that you can download yourself in the market.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
This whole thing is souring me entirely on Android.

Maybe that sounds hyperbolic, but I'm sick of having to jump through these absurd hoops to get the hardware I want with the software I want.

I love the dev community and the hard work they do, but until Android OEMs offer a way, out of the box, to run AOSP then I'm going to be rethinking my commitment to Android.

It's absurd that the double-bind we're in is to choose hardware or software.
[HTC Rezound] blackhand1001:
I don't understand why the manufacturers ALL spend the time and resources to make such elaborate custom skins. I mean a custom launcher is one thing but rewriting the entire email, calander, mms, and settings apps is kind of overboard. Stock Ice cream sandwich really does not need any enhancements for the most part. The one good thing about the first set of honeycomb tablets is that they all for the most part ran aosp.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
probably because stock Android is ugly as sin, it's widgets are ugly, and it's bland and boring. a lot of people feel this way, and we embrace sense because it actually looks GOOD.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Droid 1 is also AOSP, it even has froyo!

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] rmcsc:
Yes, because you have so many hardware and software options for iOS and equally as many software options on Windows Phone.
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
That's your opinion, I find sense too bubbly and big for me, and love the look of stock aosp. It would be nice if manufacturers made their phones work on aosp source as a start, then added their skins on top, but that's a lot to ask, so I don't complain :P
[HTC Rezound] knucklesmckay:
Fwiw I think AOSP is ugly too
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yes, let's take what I said and willfully distort it.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
agreed man, it's all opinions, which is why HTC makes sense lol

if there was a box i could check to switch to stock android or sense, i'll admit i'd give it a whirl. yeah, i'd get sick of it after 2 days (i coudln't run CM7 for longer than 24 hours on my Inc because i couldn't stand AOSP), but i'd still try it out.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Any phone that Cyanogen will support can get "full AOSP"
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
everyone needs to remember not everyone likes the same things... I prefer sense over asop and that's why i have this phone... I think asop is plain as well and i commend HTC for making Sense as nice it is... no other manufacturer comes close with their own UI
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I think AOSP functions better than Sense, that's purely why I like it.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Personally I prefer aosp (only on ics, gingerbread is UGLY) but sense is by FAR better than touchwiz or motoblur or any other manufacturer skin in my opinion
[HTC Rezound] chefthomas99:
I always used to spent my time trying to make aosp look like sense...
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
If HTC didn't make the sense interface, and only made AOSP roms, and every manufacturer ran the same AOSP roms, I wouldn't be into Android at all. I love sense, some people like AOSP. But saying you can't understand why manufacturers put time into sense is a close minded view in my opinion. There are many very talented devs and contributors to the Android community that would probably be running iOS if plain old AOSP was all that was allowed on any phone. The OEM interface being offered brings a lot more to the table in my opinion for people who aren't strictly AOSP fans. I really like choice, but so far, sense by far is what fits my taste.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
I personally love both AOSP and sense equally for different reasons.

Pros:

Sense - Visually pleasing, and it's the only UI that i use the widgets and love them

AOSP - Basicness and the fact that it is really smooth and fast

Cons:

Sense - LAGGY!! as hell! (Well, atleast 3.5 and 3.6 on my rezound are) but so is 4.0

AOSP - Boring looking
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i still have yet to witness this "extreme" lag that sense roms supposedly have?

what a .2 ms difference sometimes? im sure its going to be slower because its a UI on top of a OS

but ive used both and i see some lag in ICS too so in real world i dont see much difference
[HTC Rezound] trinidad716:
Personally I loved Win Mobile 6.5 on The Touch Pro 2, So Sense is alright with me. Back when I was on Blur I craved for anything other than Blur.

As for AOSP we cant buy phones expecting DEVs to figure out things and make ROMS. And all this internet bickering is ridiculous.

As for AOSP vs Sense. I could think of bunch of things each does better than the other. I think some people ask for AOSP just to say they have it. IDK

Then again we could all get IPhones and not really have a DEV community :cool:
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
As for me, I learned something this go around. Again, this is my first Android...so now I know what to look for and what not to look for. I know I'm in the minority but I actually liked TouchWiz better than Sense...but I'm REALLY fiend'in for Cyanogen...but don't think that's gonna be happening for the Rezound.

Ahhhhh well, time to figure out a plan to get something else I guess. LOL
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
you know, it's funny. my rezound, from day 1, was never laggy. the rosie was smooth, but it could've been smoother (but wtf can you ask for when the transitions are 3d, with 3d widgets?!?! nobody else does that.)

then i RUU'ed and ran the newest leak. holy BALLS 3.6 is FAST. that rosie is FASTER than my phone was stock from day 1. there's NO lag in sense 3.6, it's damn good.
[HTC Rezound] armchairbear:
I used to hate sense because it was laggy on my Inc 1 and Inc 2. I prefer function over form. But with the Rezound on Scott's Cleanrom 3.7 and up, it's so smooth, that I'm getting to really like Sense now. This is how the Sense experience was meant to be like. I think HTC overestimated what the Inc 1 and 2 could handle, they were too ambitious in making a good-looking UI.

Sense has the best-looking widgets, even better than Beautiful Widgets.

However, I am tempted to install Scott's Sense Less rom for better battery life and speed. Cuz I feel the need.... the need for speed... cuz I'm on the highway.... to the Danger Zone.... cuz I'm a maverick.... where's Goose?
[HTC Rezound] Nopi45:
Yea I agree I had no problems with touchwiz and I like it better than sense.
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:

No deff not I just had a E4GT and loved that phone but I am in a part of Oklahoma that sprint dropped almost all there service so had to swap to verizon .
[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
I like sense, but when I used my Incredible, cm7 was beast. It allowed my ps3 controller to function wonderfully. The custom kernels made it screaming fast, and gave me great battery life. Theme chooser allowed changing it to look like whatever you wanted. It allowed you to move the status bar to the bottom of the screen. My dinc looks like a small honeycomb tablet that runs circles around the sense roms. If we got this kind of performance bump from cm9 on our Rezounds, and it would be awesome. I am not dissing sense because it is a wonderful ui that has elements that I miss, just not enough to run it when I have cm. I honestly stayed away from cm7 In the beginning, but ran all the sense roms until I figured out that sense was no competition on the dinc. Just my 2 cents....
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
I wish manufacturer would give us the option to have their or skin,without launchers,customs or any other tool to get asop on the phone.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
To all the Sense haters...pick up a Motorola phone and try out their UI. You'll definately feel different about Sense after that.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I chuckle st the asop , sense debate. I came from the og droid where everyone was trying to get sense 2.0 ported. They got everything working, but the ril..now it's the reverse :). I like diversity so I try all the roms..personally asop is boring to me and I didn't find cm7 anything special.
[HTC Rezound] bbgreen:
+1 GSB 3.+ was the only reason i took so long to upgrade.....btw anybody heard from workshed heard he got a rezound
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I actually like some of the Blur stuff.

Touchwiz is smoother than Sense, excluding Sense 4.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
After setting up a Bionic, Razr & Razr Maxx for some execs at my company, I can say that Motoblur kind of sucks. Seriously? Create a fake email address to get Exchange ActiveSync working? No thanks.

[HTC Rezound] cstrife999:
I would highly disagree... Especially with ICS. I miss the look of stock ICS greatly.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
again, it's all opinion. ics widgets are not aesthetically pleasing to me, and they're bland and boring..whereas sense widgets actually look nice.
[HTC Rezound] ram911:
You took the words right out of my mouth.

I bought an HTC because it had sense.
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
Fake aosp phones?
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
I have a touchpad which I run cm9 on. It's nice no doubt, but sense to me is just more exciting, and offers more of my type of customizing. Sense just makes more sense to me
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
no, its not completely senseless, but it has most of sense removed including most of rosie and you cannot get Sense as a home launcher choice, it will not load. So, I'd say its little more than sense hiding under a custom launcher...

differentiation??? Most people don't know what stock android looks like because of these skins. People pick out a phone because they like the look of those skins.

Maybe because Samsung copied half the IOS UI for touchwiz? It cracks me up when Samsung tries to defend itself saying it didn't copy IOS with those icons and the square physical home button centered on the bottom of the phone on their international phones...
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
If you couldn't run cm7 for more than 24hrs, you need imagination. When I had my EVO 4g, that Rom was awesome and looked way better than sense. I like sense, just love battery life of aosp
[HTC Rezound] blackhand1001:
The new not-blur on the razr is actually not half bad and signs point that they are toning down even more with the ice cream sandwhich update.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
I have plenty of imagination and creativity, thanks guy. *rollseyes*
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Cause what you run on your phone totally shows how creative you are.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I think you totally missed his point. Cm Was uberthemeable. **** I remember even making my own themes flashable in metamorph. My phone was straight up custom. It was customizeable out the ass. setting different vibration patterns for all of your notifications, changing led lights for all of your notifications.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
I like Sense. I liked it on my Dinc, and I like even more on my Rezound. My phone works so well. I'm gaming more now on my phone, and I would have never thought that would have been the case one year ago. Music, video...this thing rocks.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
No I get his point. Just comes off like a douche.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I agree. A buddy of mine was running their leak and it looked fine.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Was it much smoother? I mean I'm not a fan of skins, but I find moto's skin not as intrusive as most. Plus they do have some extra features that can be useful.
