Just back to gb from cf lpy rom flashed stock lb1 rom through mobile odin lucky to get back since lpy has some issues
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] saMMuel'sky:
Wohaa, back on GB LA6. Now I just have to figure out how to root it. Because I am a bit confused of that CF Root guides. :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] saMMuel'sky:
Factory reset means that your apps, accounts, settings and everything on the phone will be deleted. It delete whole phone and make it back like from the shop.

You can find Factory reset option in Settings > Privacy.

Hope you understand what I wrote, because I don't. :D:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Le Ch@land:
Hi,

I did:

- On lpy rooted with cwm at start of revert process

- Flash lc1 non wipe without wiping dalvik or data or factory reset to avoid brick, just inject su and mobile odin using mobile odin pro with chainfire's kernel

- Now on gb with a lot of bugs due to some parts of ics survival

- Make a cwm backup

- After control of this backup, factory reset

- At this point gb work fine but loose all datas (very lot for me)

- Backup all system apps and data using titanium backup and rom toolbox pro, do not forget miscs backups with this one

- Cwm to restore datas, return of bugs due to ics ashes

- Restore all system and data with titanium backup and rom toolbox

- Reboot, bugs killed, all personal apps and data alive

- Manualy restore somes littles things such as busybox, ad-away host file, camera and wifi settings...

- Now on stable and SAFETY rom and happy

A bit long but shorter than restore app by apps i think.

Ics is not rom, it's a draft.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dzontra11:
Hahaahh....yeah i know but what is hard reset..the same?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
After close to 1000 posts and two years spent at XDA you don't know what a hard reset is?

That's pitiful.:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jay-Taicho:
Are there any mac users that have reverted back to a GB nandroid backup from LPY?

Can I not just flash abyss kernel in CWM and restore backup from redpill recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Fasha280502:
People still do use Pc Odin to flash GB/ICS rom?

i review in Q&A and General thread the is plenty of user bricked their phone while using Pc Odin.

I found 1 of the thread about flashing rom using Mobile Odin no 1 accoutered stuck while flashing.

Lucky i'm still loyal to GB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
plenty of users?? would you mind posting the threads??

i cant see how PC odin can brick the device if you haven't flashed any leaked package...

ive been a user of PC odin for 2 years...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] saMMuel'sky:
Sorry for one off-topic.

I would just like to ask, if I'm destroying my phone with every new flash of ROM? Because I recognized that my phone is heating up, and also my battery is worst every time. Or maybe I'm just bluffing and just think that it is worst. :D But when I got my Note, I didn't recognize any heating issue, and also my battery was really good, that some guys told me that I have super battery. I played games etc. and battery was good for about 2-3 days, and without doing something for about a week.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Fasha280502:
Sorry to say, you just make yourself look stupid. Please go and check all the threads in Q&A and General section plenty of users complaining flashing stuck while using Pc Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] greenlant:
Dr. Ketan provided us with an update of his post.

Included his advices in OP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
maybe im really stupid to question a newly registered user...:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Fasha280502:
don't feel so down, every human beings make mistakes. and even Monkeys Fell from the Trees.

I posted base on PROVE and fact, you need to read more about Pc Odin problem stuck while flashing ICS rom and even stuck when revert ICS to GB rom. Don't be lazy, just go to Q&A and General thread you will find all the problems related to Pc Odin. I'm afraid, your 2 years of experience in flashing rom with Pc Odin can't help them :rolleyes: . You need to accept peoples opinions about the truth. I know, Sometimes the truth hurts.

Thanks,

Ex-@Modaco Developer
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
lol.. maybe you cant understand sarcasm..LOL

my point is i cant see the PLENTY.. all i can see is 1 person getting bricked on PC ODIN. maybe its just not his day. :D

on the contrary ive seen more users who used pc odin successfully..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nirak:
I've read Dr K.'s advice that if one is at ICS to stick with it and wait for new safe build, does this also stands for stock LPY rooted with Bodivas method ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26040997&postcount=349) so no CF kernel?

Cuz that's where i am now, I haven't experienced any weird behaviour yet, but the whole brick bug is really getting on my nerves, reading ppl bricking their devices just by hard reset from within system or getting lotsa FC's after a few days...o well....i'm just a noob that can't decide which way to go....

tx for advice :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Just stay put, don't do any wipes/formats/flashes and you should be OK.

Wait for the new ICS builds and upgrades.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dzontra11:
I am not so sure....

Stay away from this Ics s...t....

I never use cwm. .i never delete nothing BUT almoust brick my phone.

What i do?Symple..restart my phone and gues what?Bootloop..so i must folow Ches steps and flash stock Gb.

So.please. .guys,stay away from this ics.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
Dr...

Please keep the N in your posts....that's part of your style of writing and I like it.

PLus I'm on a limited data plan..and any incoming data I can save on, helps:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] opsakas:
My opinion is that if you didn't brick your phone then you really didn't. Like you can not be a little pregnant - you either are or are not.

What we really need, is to cool down with this issue. Me personally will stick with LPY until the firmware for my region is out. But if i would be more scared then would go back with PC Odin, flashing latest GB (i do not use root anywayz).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dzontra11:
Agree but something is bad in that kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lenrek:
Did you read those threads and understand the root cause of their problem? Once you understand what is going on, you would know why this thread started.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
No, the bug only affects flashing from an affected kernel.

There's a chance that just using the defective eMMC driver could do long-term damage to your device - the answer is to GET AWAY FROM IT ASAP.

Flashing a safe kernel with PC Odin or Heimdall is the safest way to get away. No one has suffered damage from PC Odin yet - all of these claims of "bricked by Odin" are cases of Odin failing because the DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE BY THE KERNEL - If you read in more detail, every user encountering problems with download mode flashing was using download mode because they had already encountered other symptoms of eMMC damage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] greenlant:
hopefully the FINAL EDIT!

Hello Entropy512 and thank you very much for clarification!

May I ask you in this case (after you advice is to immediately switch) if you can re-check the steps to go back to GB (just to FINALLY!! have a professional step by step advice ;))

- Abyss 4.2 Kernel as it seems to be THE uber kernel

- flash ANY GB Rom (Stock or e.g. rocket) or a GB backup

Okay till here?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SoonHD2:
How do i get back to GB? I really hate battery drain on ICS (have tired airplane mode and screen on before unplug etc.) and just want a stadyer battery life via GB and a safe ROM to remove files and download stuff without constant feeling of brick...

Im running XXLPY and I rooted using touch CWM and BusyBox

I put the CWM.zip and BusyBoxInstaller.zip on to my SD and went on my GB recovery and flashed CWM touch version and used it to root = does it mean i have partial root or full and can i just install Rooted GB via PC Odin and be good with it or do i have to first unroot XXLPY and then revert to GB and then root it coz i like CF3D and couple other root required apps..

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:
My way back to GB (similar to most advices here on the board):

- flashed a EU wipe pre rooted ROM for PC Odin from here (3*Files Wipe N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1 Open Europe (02/03/2012))

- used Dr. Ketans Guide to make everthing like it was when I started my note flashing career in january :) --> flashed SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS + CF-root.

I don´t know if this makes sense, but as I do have a nice running GB again, it made sense for me at least :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gurnishdhillon:
Back to GB!!!

Oh man ,,i am so glad ,, happy GOD!!

Reverted back to GB with ease ,,,was so damn scared since i had done a wipe Cache while on LPY before,,,,,,

Thanks every one including Entropy512 ,chasmodo ,Abhisahara & Dr. Ketan for all ur guidence and help ,i feel relaxed now and can finally sleep
[Galaxy S III General] Gambler_3:
Where is the phone for those of us who dont like to carry a mini tablet in our pockets? A mid range small device wont do but a fully speced no compromises small device. I can bet the S3 wont sell as much as the S2 the size is now just ridiculous for many people.

What does samsung think there is no market for smaller high end phones anymore?? Ah no the sales of the iphone 4S would beg to differ. I personally know 3 people who didnt buy S2 simply because of size and got an iphone 4S. Wake up samsung you are really missing out on alot of customers and with the S3 the list is just going to be bigger.

Samsung loves making a gazillion phones and yet they cant make 2 versions of their flagship is beyond me.
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
Who wants to watch 720p video on a 3 inch screen?
[Galaxy S III General] shadow65781:
For me, between 4.5 and 5" is perfect

Don't bait the trolls.
[Galaxy S III General] Moskiitto:
This s2's 4.3" screen feels little now :)
[Galaxy S III General] eXecuter.bin:
IMO the Galaxy S3's screen size is the perfect size. To me, anything above 4.3 and under 5" is the sweet spot. Anything smaller makes the phone seem low end, and anything bigger hampers the phone's portability.
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
There's the iPhone for you if you don't like the size. Better get one quick though cause rumor has it they will bump the size up too as apparently nobody patented that yet.
[Galaxy S III General] tanseerj:
For me the perfect size is a 4 inches device with minimal bezel and fully loaded specs.
[Galaxy S III General] tylerdurdin:
this is the only thing I think Samsung did right on this phone...

killing is my business, And business is good.
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
..wow. wtf is wrong with you guys.

At this rate we'll probably see a "Do you guys like where the volume rocker is on the GSIII?" thread. Or something just as retarded. What? Its general isn't it?? :rolleyes:

sent from my Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S III General] Gambler_3:
lol why are you guys getting so upset? I never said nobody wants big phone but that they should just make 2 galaxy S3 models one with 4.3" screen and one with 4.8". I am not asking for a 3.5" phone jeez.

Anyways it's samsung's loss thats what I was pointing out at. I have a nexus S and I find the galaxy nexus to be too big let alone the S3. I wont buy an iphone but might have to look at HTC or sony for my next phone.

And apple releasing a big iphone? I can bet my house it wont be bigger than 4" screen which is just perfect size for a compact phone.
[Galaxy S III General] Mopral:
So, you expect SGS3 hardware in SGS1 form factor

Seems to me that it will stay a dream...
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
I definitely like the new screen size of the S3 but i must admit that if they want to sell more, an S2 size might be the limit. However they claim that the increase in screen size has led to an increase of only 16% because of a compressed bezel. If that's true, then it might not really be a problem. Just check the galaxy note high sales. My cousin (iPhone sworn pastor), went to the phone Shop relating to an issue with his iPhone. There he met Mr Samsung Galaxy Note. He immediately feel in love with it's beautiful Samoled LCD and specs, ended back home with a brand new galaxy Note. His iPhone is now secondary, just as a backup phone.

Lesson; Size seems not to always matter when you like a phone. Minimalist might claim to like small screens until they see a beautiful large hd screen where browsing and internet can be more comfortable.
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
No! I like a big screen. There are phones out there raging from 3,2'' to 5.3''. There is something for everyone. That's the difference between Android and Apple/Windows Phone.
[Galaxy S III General] DocRambone:
Here a compilation on the changes from SGS2:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639560

It's a HUGE step up from sgs 2...
[Galaxy S III General] peachpuff:
Samsung just thinks your hands get bigger every year, i wont be buying it too due to its size, its 0.5cm wider than my sgs2 which is ridiculous. Im not sure how huawai managed to fit a 4.5" screen on a phone and make it narrower than an sgs2, but whenever that phone is released im buying it.
[Galaxy S III General] phermey:
its the way you said it. and the way you titled it. when u talk in an aggressive and negative nature... expect the responses to be in kind.

that being said, as long as that extra .44" of width over my gs2 fits in my hand, i will be getting one. i havent really herd any of the reviewers saying it feels huge. its also only a mm wider than the hox. <-- the biggest competitor to the gs3.
[Galaxy S III General] DR.mobbfigga:
No, why are you getting so upset you want an, iPhone with its little screen go buy one, keep your iPhone envy d-bagness to your self, This is XDA, 4.8 in of awesome ill be getting a S3 FOR SURE
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
People complaining about the phones size should buy a smaller phone lol, if your disappointed oh well we all know in life no one can win everything or everyone over with their product.

If you think size will impact Samsung's sales you're very wrong people will buy the phone like mad.. Look at it this way here in the UK it said first 1000 people that buy the S3 will get a Galaxy tab. It ran out within the hour.. Imagine the sales all over the world. They sold over 20 million units of SG2's o.O...

I am not an android fan boy nor a company fan boy.. I have had bad experiences with a company called LG and their supposedly 3D phone which sucks worst year of my life with this crappy shyt..

I think the phone looks alight nothing wrong with it specs looks amazing test scores look brilliant and building roms will be superb on it no doubt like the SG2..

Besides the screen is a good size as i had the LG it was 4.3 inch's got used to it not a problem after that i could not even look at my HTC Desire it felt too small..
[Galaxy S III General] leith51:
Go for htc flagship phone... Oh hang on its 4.7" screen which is just to big for u Nokia always an option
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
I'm actually completely opposite from the OP

Having used the Note since november, i'm actually worried that the phone might feel too small

Galaxy Nexus was such an underwhelming device after using the note for a few months, it actually felt like a toy in my hand

PS-Who makes two flagship phones?

[Galaxy S III General] blatz729:
Swerd. Just this, just this and this thread should've ended as well lol
[Galaxy S III General] Gambler_3:
Nope with android the flagship phones are only the big phones, with small phones come lesser specs and lesser support which is actually completely unlike iOS and windows phone. The lumia 900 and 800 have identical specs, iphone 4S hardware wise has one of the best hardware of any phone last year.
[Galaxy S III General] Gambler_3:
Phonearena also said that S3 is unlikely to be as huge a success as S2 due to the size. Clearly it IS an issue.
[Galaxy S III General] m33ts4k0z:
Gambler please correct the typo on your thread title... This is embarassing and shows how in a rush you were to post it. Samsung isn't going to go backwards just because you and 4 of your friends want small screens. If this phone doesn't suit you then look elsewhere.
[Galaxy S III General] Gambler_3:
Okay guys say whatever you want I am gonna bump this thread when S3 sales fail to break those of the S2, dont be so sure about the big screen frenzy you all might have to eat your words when samsung realizes they have to redefine their strategy.
[Galaxy S III General] 1orka:
Well, don't you think it's too big?

Probably it's good for basketball players, boxers, but what about average sized hands?

Opinion: Samsung Galaxy S III won't be for everyone

http://edition.cnn.com/2012/05/04/opinion/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-smartphone/index.html

And by the way, there is a video in that cnn link, where some one claims it's to big for him too, so don't try to put this as something irrelevant.
[Galaxy S III General] m33ts4k0z:
Well...

There is no phone that is for everyone. I, for example, could never have a smaller screen than 4.3".
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
Double nope!

I was talking about the choice you have. There is only a 3.5'' iphone.

Apparently there are enough people who want a big screen.

If you don't like it, don't buy it.
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Get something else if you don't like the size. The market isn't limited to one phone.
[Galaxy S III General] phermey:
good little video. the guy didnt say it was too big for him. he said he personally would look for something smaller. and the phone looks huge in the pic. not so much in the videos. i guess its all a matter of perception.

gambler... you can always go buy the one s. its a great phone. not a flagship... but still a great phone. no reason to get your panties so ruffled over this. and to say that this phone will not sell as well as the gs2 is 'redonkulous'.
[Galaxy S III General] 1orka:
You must be kidding, right?
[Galaxy S III General] interpid16:
Samsung Galaxy SIII will fit perfect in pockets. I've seen people carrying GALAXY Note in their pocket. SIII is smaller than Note,so it'd be perfect. Now SII will be smaller after using SIII. SIII=Monster in our pockets.
[Galaxy S III General] phermey:
kidding about what?
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
Those who think it is too big, print it out in real size and lay your current phone on it.

I did it with my SGS2 and I can say the size is okay for me. It will still fit in my hand and I will be able to operate it with one hand just like the S2.
[Galaxy S III General] 1orka:
This

He'd look for smaller phone because he considers SGS3 too big, i thought it's obvious.
[Galaxy S III General] phermey:
Its all in the wording right? Too big means it doesn't fit in my hand. Prefer something smaller says exactly what it says.

There is a difference. Which is why I am sure the guy worded it the way he did. You could tell he even searched his brain for the proper words to not slam Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] Gambler_3:
The one S only has 10GB USB storage with no SD card slot, total deal breaker. Seems like HTC also wants me to buy the one X instead. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] g4rvd4:
Hey looks like a lot of people are worried about samsung sales and htc sales and apple sales...

I for one feel that the phone will be fine for me, but I'll definitely try it out before buying. I sure don't care how much the phone sells as long as it's good for me.. :P

If it doesn't sell as well as s2 it will only serve as a reminder to samsung to not get complacent and they'll churn out better phones in the future... :) The consumer is always the winner here.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Nope
[Galaxy S III General] limeaid:
What is everyone's problem? Gambler is right. Not everyone is an XDA reading, horny android freak that wants a massive screen on their phone. Some ppl want a 4 to 4.3 inch device with the latest hardware. I also know many many ppl who passed on the gs2 because it was too big.

Samsung makes tablets in every conceivable size. I really wonder why they don't at least do a few variations of their flagship phone
[Galaxy S III General] leith51:
Why would you buy the one x its to big for you !!!
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
I have not read all the posts, but since I owned the Note and Nexus, I have read these complains and guess how popular those two phones ended up to be. To be fair, this was why I wish it has onscreen nav buttons though, to slim it down a bit, and it is a wider phone than SII and Nexus, but its not too much taller or about same thickness if you compare the dimension, no where huge like the Note.

I think if you even spend 10minutes searching the web, you will find phones of smaller size that fit your need. I can think of a few on top of my head, HTC One S (excellent performance), Meizu MX (same quadcore as the SIII), iPhone 4S. Samsung isn't going to build a 4" screen flagship device, neither is HTC, neither is Motorola, neither is LG, neither is Sony, neither is Nokia. Now if you expect a 720p res on a 4" screen at this time that isn't a retina display, forget about it.

I'd say just wait for the next iPhone, I'm sure Apple will keep it at 4" to keep the design and have hi-res due to retina display, it'll be excellent specs and you'll get to use iOS. I'm not sarcastic about this, their GPU performance is amazing and I think tons of people are going to drool over a larger screen iPhone with HD display.
[Galaxy S III General] 1orka:
Guy says that he would prefer something smaller, to me this means that he considers SGS3 too big, if you think differently, fine.

He is a jorno invited to that party by Samsung, what did you expect him, yell "OMG, this phone is effing huge"? Only then you would agree that he thinks it's too big?
[Galaxy S III General] Mr Woolf:
Phermey is correct mate. They do mean subtly, but very definitely different things.
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
I had the same thoughts about the Note before i bought one.

I made a "replica" of it in size out of Stiff cardboard and carried it around. I decided the real thing would be a lot slicker and easier to get in and out of my front pocket where I carry my phones.

That said I do not use cases of any kind. A Case would have prohibited the Note for me. I took off the Flip case that came with it and have been using it with only a dark Decal skin on it because I bought a used white one and wanted the blue.

The S3 will be a lot better in that regard. But I may miss the Notes screen real estate so I will am keeping both like I did with the SGS2 until I know which is best.
[Galaxy S III General] ciscostud:
I bought the s3 because of the screen size. IPhone screen will be remembered for its funny small screen.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Comparison shot:

GS3 -- 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6

GS2 -- 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5

GS3 is 11mm taller than GS2. It's exactly 9% taller and less than 7% more width.

With this comes an increase in diagonal length of 11.6% and increase in 21% screen surface area.

Is someone seriously worried about such incremental increase?

There were many threads similar to this when SGS2 or Note was launched. We also now how well they sold.
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
The manufacturers do tons of market research to determine what people want, what they're willing to pay for, and what makes them choose one phone over the other. If what you're looking for was in the majority, you'd be able to buy it. All the rumors point to the next iPhone having a larger screen so obviously it's something the iFolks are looking for too. The most high-end smaller phone right now is the HTC One S.
[Galaxy S III General] blunted09:
I completely agree. Phones are getting to big to comfortably use on a daily basis. That said, I'll still buy it
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Well having owned the galaxy note, size will not matter. I laugh at 4.8 inch.
