First of all, wrong forum bud. This is General, not Q&A.

Second, if you have read though the forums, there are root methods specifically for the Note. Don't use another phone's unlock method.

Look at the pictures, watch the video, you'll have roots in 10 minutes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] supdroid:
+1 to what slapshot591 said. The excellent n00b guide by appdroid and the startup guide for rooting by gordec (both stickies in this forum) should give you all the info that you need. I think there is also a ROOT/UNROOT guide by roloracer which is excellent. A simple search of the forums should give you what you need.

Like everyone else has mentioned... read the boards.

we have all rooted our phones by reading the guides on this excellent boards, and there are Stickied topics for a reason.

secondly, when you mention NCS, are you talking about NFC? (Near Field Communication) because yes it was masked out by ATT, but is easily attained.

there is an entire thread dedicated to it....

* Please note, If you get into the n bootloop then you will have to create a bootablet cwm sd card and flash a backup or albert wertz's r3 recovery rom. Then after it boots into stock you can run the nook unrooter app to do a factory reset.

Just download this zip and flash it in cwm and reboot. Then it will just restore factory stock and fix your tablet.

Here`s the link: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1092658&d=1338298057

This may most likely work, however if it doesnt and you get into an n logo bootloop, then all you need to do is make a bootable cwm sd card and flash/restore albert wertz's stock recovery rom for your model. Then you could just boot nook os and flash stock recovery through the nt recovery flasher app already installed and run the nook unrooter app. Or a more simpler way would be to flash this stock recovery zip after you have went to backup and restore and restored the albert wertz recovery rom.

I had bricked my nook tablet by using the origional nt recovery flasher app to flash cwm recovery (the old version) and i flashed cm9 alpha 0.2. When I booted cyanoboot had an orange backround and it wouldnt boot into cm9 it said something about a disk majic errot. After I kept on rebooting and booted into cwm recovery. I then flashed my backup and made the mistake of selecting reboot recovery. When I rebooted I kept booting into cwm and I now know its called a cwm reboot recovery bootloop. This zip willl filx that and do a factoryy reset because I tried flashing the latest nt cwm recovery and it upgraded but still cwm bootlooped.

I think this may have fixed my nook tablet 16gb's partions. While I was in the cwm bootloop I had mounted and formatted each option. Including the rom partion. PLEASE! Dont do this because you might have a different situation and this may not help restore your partions. When I flashed this zip and rebooted my nt it booted into the clearing data which took a little while and it the factory resetscreen. To mysuprise after setup and regristration my serial number i still there. This is just an assumption.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
What is this though? You should provide a little more information before people go downloading and flashing things...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
It's a factory recovery cwm flashable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flamingsamurai:
Worked for me, it will flash over bootloader to stock, so you can use this if Cyanoboot is giving you trouble.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ferryco:
can you please provide more detailed instructions, i downloaded the file and it does not have any extension, anyways i just put .zip to it and tried to install from sd card using cwm running on internal and it gives me error...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tyriekgo:
Okay.Sorry for the confusion. After you rename the file with a zip extension. Extract that zip. There should be a folder inside called nt cwm 8&16gb or something of the sort. Then go inside of the folder and select every thing including the folders and recovery img. Zip those files using 7zip. Then flash it. I will update the file today so mostlikely you wont have to do this. Before 12 am today.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mysteriousme:
Will this work for the 8gb nook tablet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
Haven't tried it on a 8gb Tablet, but the filename says "8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip" so it should probably work.

By the way, some people reported it helped, but some reported it didn't.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
i googled "red x" and it ties it to "ruu" removed root access - you lost your ability to do a recovery.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] afastyzfr1:
Anyway to regain the ability to do a recovery?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
well your glitch a 'new animal / different kind of animal' that i've not run across. the no brainer answer is to do the steps ( again ) to acquire root and recovery. if you already did that . . . then that infers your internals are corrupted and it is a MUCH tougher fix. my poor guess is you have to tear down and then rebuild your partitions if @adamoutler's supremo fix doesn't fix it. but i am no expert and would want more ( a real expert ) to advice here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] afastyzfr1:
I tried to re-root and still have same issue

So ( for your NT ) the recovery step will not work. you must do a "use 'parted' to fix the partition table" step, and fix that first !

.

I went to a 'partition fix' link and I saw you're there already, trying to get it working. So, I've been of no help... Do you have a parted disk ? Is there more than one way. Didn't someone make a 'easier' way to do the partition fix ?

So you flashed cm7 using the cwm sd, Then did a factory reset using the n+power method? I would have used cwm to do a restore of albert wertz's nt r3 recoovery rom and used the nook unrooter. I try to make a cwm bootable sd card and do this. You may need to completely power off and boot using the usb cable.
[TouchPad General] swimmy:
I purchased a 32Gb Hp Touchpad from ebay. When I try and go through the

first

startup settings, the setup always stalls at the wifi portion. I have read and tried all of the suggestions I could come across.

1) Unit powers on

2) Select Language

3) Select country

4) Confirm country

5) Wifi Setup, Choose a network.

6) Select network and input key if used.

7) Device shows a check mark that is is connected to the network.

8) Get message "No Internet Connection" "Cannot connect to the internet through this connection. Try another network."

I have tried many different networks, My home wifi, work wifi, McDonalds wifi. No network will connect to the internet.

I reset my home to Open with no security. No Internet Connection.

I tried using webOS Doctor, does not finish. I tried several versions. 3.0.0, 3.0.2, 3.0.4, and 3.0.5. webOS Doctor always stalls at 8% with message "We are unable to reset your device."

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
Sorry to hear your TouchPad isnt working. I would hate to think you got a TouchPad with broken wifi hardware. If thats the case, it cant be fixed. I dont know why your doctor isnt working. Did you make sure you had all the necessities before running it?
[TouchPad General] swimmy:
Thanks for the response.

I don't think the wifi is broken. I can see and even connect to all of the wifi networks that I tried. Every connection said no internet connection.

I click "Start Over" and go to the beginning screen. Click the "HP webOS" in the upper left corner and select "Device Information".

I see the following:

Device ID, 8 sets of 5 digit numbers,

MAC Address, (not all zeros)

Device Model, HSTNH-129C

Product Number, FB539UA#ABA

Serial Number,

Handset, 180-10871-00

Hardware Version, A

webOS Version, HP webOS 3.0.4

I have connected with novacom and ran some Linux commands even tried rm -r *

Is there a way to flash a "New" Never setup Touchpad?

I remember reading somewhere that the wifi software in version 3.0.4 had an issue. Would this cause the setup to not connect to the internet?

Would the wifi need to be 802.11a?

Just looking for a way to reset or get working.

Thanks.

Thank you.
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
There's a thread HERE that talks about what to do when you get the 8% hang using WebOS Doctor. There's also a thread HERE on how to do a full downgrade factory reset to 3.0.0 that SHOULD have you back and running without too much difficulty. I would suggest trying the second, as it tends to fix most peoples' problems. From there, Doctor up to 3.0.5, install Android again, and you're golden. If you have the Doctor files downloaded, it takes about 20 minutes to do the reset => flash to 3.0.0 => Flash to 3.0.5 => install Android

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PNGChaves:
I'm pretty tired of Samsung's awful design capabilities, and attention to detail (from my experience with Galaxy S and Galaxy S II), but I'm actually pretty suprised with the S III's user-experience-functionalities.

My point is, Samsung introduced some cool new features, but I've had enough of their Galaxy's cheap plastic and want to move on to an HTC One X.

What I was wondering was, would there be any way to get any (if not all) of these features on any Android device?

- Direct Call: If you pick up your phone near your ear while reading a message, it will automatically dial that number. (Seems easy to port/mimic)

- Buddy Photo Share: An intelligent way to tag your friends in photos you take, by selecting their faces. After you've tagged them, the device will recognize them in future photos.

- Pop up play: This is actually pretty cool. If you're watching a video, you can pop it out and keep on doing other stuff, while the video is playing in a separate, moveable window. Could be handy.

- Smart alert: If you were away from your phone and someone called you, once you pick the phone back up it will let you know someone called by vibrating to inform you.

- Social tag: Once you've tagged a friend in a photo of his (see "Buddy Photo Share" above), while you're browsing through pictures of him the device will automatically link his tag and show you their current status on social networks.

- S-Beam: Actually pretty simple NFC file-transfer, by touching two compatible devices' back, it will transfer any file automatically between the two.

- Smart Stay: One of my favorites. Using the front-facing camera, the device will automatically brighten/dim the screen depending on whether you're looking at it or not.

There are other features, but I just thought these were the ones you'd actually use on a day-to-day basis.

Anyway, is there anything out there that can replace the features I just mentioned? Or even better, do you think it would be possible to port these exact features from a Galaxy S III to any other Android phone?

TL;DR: How to obtain Galaxy S III's features (above, in bold) in other Android phones?

Thank you for your time! :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Some of those features sound pretty cool, hadn't heard of this stuff before. Hope other manufacturers clone them in their phones or Google adds them to Android officially.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] p107r0:
check this: OpenDesign:

"Our goal is to have features coming from various manufacturers user interface overlays be seamlessly integrated into your phone. Why is it cool? All CyanogenMod 9 enabled devices can enjoy software features for which manufacturers would rather you buy a new and expensive phone. "
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PNGChaves:
Pretty good info, although they are saying they will do most stuff for Cyanogen Mod, whereas I would prefer having those features in, say, HTC One X's stock OS, by means of an app, for instance.

Anyone else got some thoughts on this? Do these features seem easy to port onto another OS?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leventccc:
Answer is yes :) I have a htc one x
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PNGChaves:
Exactly, I'm planning on getting one myself. The only thing making me hesitating is that the S III will have all those useful apps. Still, I don't believe that THAT'S worth sticking with Samsung's plasticky feel, among other things.

I thought I would start a poll thread to see if we can gauge the effectiveness of the latest 1.29.401.11 ota update in fixing our screen flicker problems.

It will be best to submit your personal result after a few days usage as the fix apparently takes a few days to learn and adjust your voltage before it can be come noticeable.

Let's hope the results are favourable.

Update (17th May):

Well, so far so good for the latest update, the signs are very positive for a lot of users, still not happening for some although as a few of you have said it is early days to be feeding back on the effectiveness of the update, as HTC have said it can take 1-2 weeks for the flicker to go away. Although there is a fast fix method you can try which is working for many:

Fast fix (after a full charge):

Unplug device from charge

Turn the screen up to full brightness and disable auto adjust

Use the device/leave it on for 1 hour

Turn the screen off and leave it off for 5-10 minutes

Turn the screen back on and use at full brightness again for another hour

Repeat the process for 4-5 cycles

I would then advise returning the screen to your normal brightness settings and using it as normal for a few further days to see if the issue totally goes away

Report back if you can.

[HTC One X] middlep1:

Let's hope it is getting better for you, and after a few more days usage it will be done altogether.

These are positive signs.
