[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
the problem is that that kernel should be used correctly.Its not like cf-root,abyss kernel.If you flash on a note in good condition,you might have some problems...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anilisanil:
I thought /data has user data and ROM is flashed onto a different partition, no?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
Yeah partially right.A rom requires both /system and /data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Good work.

Once the bricked note is up nd running, and rooted, ain't it possible to write some lowlevel partition and format utility to repair the original /data portion of EMMC ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
Nope.Not at all possible.The partition becomes completely inaccessable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Yes there are low level programs like parted - to repartition.

e2fsck to scan for bad sectors -like scandisk in windows.

format - should be possible -- I have to get help of forest1971 for this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Is this correct? I was under the impression that the emmc error was due to incorrect voltages being passed and therefor physically frying the chips, hence the only fix is to replace the chips/mobo?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Ofcourse there are no weird voltages applied. It's still the same chip being programmed by the same program delivering the same voltages.....

Actually the program doesn't set any voltages, it just tells the chipset to put the memory into the 'writing mode'

The most likely problem is that a wrong entry point is being written into the filesystem for the data partition.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ficeto:
I was not able to format it in any way and trust me I tried everything ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Just found this on the net.

http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-jtag-brick-repair/

expensive but less then 200 for a new mobo. maybe somebody wants to try.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
Yeah you are right.The cwm goes rouge sometimes and passes high voltage to eMMC which causes it to burn away.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
JTagging has been attempted before and didn't help anyone affected with the Superbrick. Not a single user got his Note back that way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
I have found the command available to format the partition

Mk2efs

I am on my mobile.

Bricked users i will tell you how to format data partition after i discuss with forest1971.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Wrong Vijai

U cannot fry ur emmc.

Looks like some copy issue or file system corruption caused by a bug in the emmc erase command.

Pls follow Garwynn in the LPY Bug Discussion threax
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
you are wrong too....;).Did you see few post back???Ficeto said he tried every method possible to format his /data partition but he couldn't and chasmodo said Jtag also couldnt recover the device partition.So either the partition must be fried or has been damaged to the core and is not at all recoverable.Any way now we a little light in our dark room of superbricks....lets hope the best.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
For a definitive answer, please see the updated PSA.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Dear friend

How many times have you formatted ur harddisks with corrupt sectors.

If you did a fastwipe you are always in trouble

I still can tell you that its not possible to fry ur emmc.

Pls refer to garwyn post about full wipe solving the issue.

Its finally how we format our system.

Pls ask fiescto to share what he tried to format his system.

There was one user falk88 tried to run scandisk on his partition and got stopped at 89%.

3 to 4 users have come out of this factoryfs issue also. Only issue is that they have tried many things randomly and we are not able to replicate their steps. But have cured the so called emmc fry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Please study some electronics knowledge before shouting nonsense.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
As I said you earlier frying eMMC might be one of the causes.We should also take that in consederation as we dont know what exactly had happened to our eMMC (or may be you know what happened?pls do share here).But it is possible to fry your eMMC.But lets also try your method.Whatever it is.We need a method to make our device run good.Thats our motive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iyousif:
So it's now confirmed by Google developer, how sad! :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
Never mind.Be cool now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Yes, sorry for you but i am an electronics engineer, and have been for 25 years.

So I repeat that you are shouting absolute nonsense, scaring ppl. for nothing.

Well maybe not for nothing, maybe you scare some enough so they won't flash a

bad kernel...

See the article just released where the bug is explained by a Google kernel dev.

Maybe you will believe his words if you doubt mine. Maybe it will keep you from shouting nonsense that you even try to back up with nonsense examples.

Yes if you put high voltages or currents into your note you will kill it.

Same goes for your SSD and your Thumbdrive.....Only nobody did either...

All three will also fry if you throw them into a microwave oven...

I was not flaming or attacking you, just asking you to stop shouting obvious nonsense. But finally why bother, your comments don't kill ppl, they just make some smile. Have a good day
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
Oh ok.One thing you remember.I will accept my mistake if you talk polite to me and give me some proof.And yeah I just said that the high current is one of the probability which I repeat in all my posts....And had a look at the kernel dev post and understood what causes the problem.Sorry for flaming (if so) you too...:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Dear Friends

I havent heard of failures of high voltages because logically there are protection circuits after the battery.

You cannot pass a high voltage because voltage is limited by battery.

What you are saying about frying happens in electronics due to static current, not bt our batteries or circuits. They are tested well amd indeed designed well to protect from these issues.

We are scared. ... Thats the truth

We havent found the root cause.

Hence we are in a paranoia with emmc failure as it is the easiest or safest way to blame.

Lets wait and time will tell.

We have to control our emotions on attacking people and attack the issue.

Yeah Vijai I will not beleive the emmc fry because it is a dead end and no dev is required after making this statement hence beleive the other side also. PLUS we still dont have proof of emmc overvolting failure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goldie:
The root cause is detailed in the PSA announcement thread post 4

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Thanks all for the further info, makes more sense now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Sorry for going off-topic, just to make some basic things clear.

1st you can make very high voltages even with a low voltage battery.

Take for example the 'old' flashes on Cameras. Those were fed by LR6

batteries and the flash made by a Xeon bulb being lighted at 5Kv.

Or the DC-converters in a car making 24V out of 12 or even 110AC or 220AC

out of 12V.

Now going back on topic : The EmmC is not only written when being flashed.

It is also written during regular use. Flashing or Wiping or Clearing, or Normal

write cycles, don't overvolt the chip, there is absolutely no worry from that happening. As I understand from the comments of the Google dev, Samsung decided to flash the Emmc in some high-speed mode which screws up the

writing process due to timing problems.

I am running the LPY, and I only hope that they enabled this high speed mode

only during the flash-proces and that the kernel doesn't use it when operational.

Cause this last thing would mean that my phone can brick at any moment.

In that case the only safe advise would be to flash back to GB and pray the

flashing goes well....I however prefer using the LPY without wiping ;)

It would have been nice to have a confirmation from the Google dev that once

succesfully flashed, just running the kernel is safe as any other, but only Sammy can tell.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
I completely agree with you.

So that sounds like we can have a software based patch for our issues.

Great! as it sounds logical now....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psy-clone:
Hey guys and girls, really sorry if this is obviouls, or been asked (I have looked through the stickies), but I wanted to be 100% sure.

- I'm not a custom ROM novice, and own a Samsung SG2 with custom ICS ROM. My friend has a Sony Experia Ray (in the UK), and wants me to (in his words) pimp it up a bit.. hehe..

So my question is which custom roms (preferably ICS if they are working well) are 100% compatible with this phone? I don't want to spend loads of time on it, but instead just find a nice, reliable, smooth and fast rom, with all the bloatware removed etc so he can have a nice fast phone.

Any help would be appreciated (I'm not expecting someone to tell me which roms are better.. cause I know that's not something anybody can say, but instead which ones I should be looking at as possibility for this phone.)

Many thanks, J

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarijkeSD:
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I've been searching the forums for about 2 days now and there are similar issues, but not with my model of tab.

I have the GT-P1000M

It is stuck on the Samsung screen.

I can flash the gt-p1000_mr.pit and it just does the same thing. (Goes to Samsung logo)

When I go into the Recovery mode, I get the following:

--Verfing internal MMC block...

E:internal mmc : open fail

Internal MMC checksum verify failed.

#Manual Mode#

--Appling Multi-CSC...

Installing Multi-CSC

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

I can wipe the cache partition with no errors.

When I try to wipe data/factory reset, I get the following:

--Wiping data...

Formatting /data..

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Formatting /dbdata...

Formatting /cache...

Data wipe complete.

But when I reboot, it goes right back to the Samsung screen. After selecting reboot, I get the following:

Failed to format /data (No such file or directory)

E:copy_log_file_to_data can't mount /data

Any advice would be great. I'm new to all this, as I inherited the tab from my hubby when he bought a Transformer pad.

Thanks

could u explain what u did to get to this stage? This seems like a serious problem. Your tab just failed to mount to the internal sdcard. Think of it a computer failing to read the hard drive.

Galaxy Tab 7 SPH-P100 stuck at Samsung logo

I had the same thing happen. Maildroid crashed hard. Tried to get to shutdown, but had to use Power button reset. Rebooted into boot-loop at glowing Samsung logo screen.

I've tried Wipe data/Factory reset.

I've tried Odin reload. Odin thinks it repartitions and restarts. Flashing new image bombs with write failure.

Heimdall fails with usb(something) error -12.

I'm starting to think that the internal flash is bad. If it's not a BGA chip I would consider replacing the part (yes, I can do that sort of thing at home :-)

I'm seriously unhappy that the hardware may be bunged at 1.5 years old.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Follow the instructions for flashing that particular rom in the thread in the dev section devoted to that rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassaan123:
Actually I am new to android so dont know much. I should just go into recovery and flash it straight forward? Or I would need to change kernel too?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I've never used that particular rom, so I have absolutely no idea. As I said in my previous post, go to the thread devoted to the rom & read the instructions (read the entire first page).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yavuzemre:
first go into recovery mode and wipe everything factory reset and cache late format data format cache and last thing wipe dalvik cache and later on you can install your new rom. you dont have to change kernel because rom has its kernel in it.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Darkguy:
Hey guys,

up to this point I used the original S2 wired headset that came with the phone and was quite content with it. Now it seems the mic/pause-button device on the wire broke (neither the mic nor the button work anymore). Since I use BeyondPod on my phone a lot to listen to podcasts, the ability to play/pause a podcast with the push of a hardware button numerous times a day (such as when shopping or people briefly need to talk to me) is very important to me, also it was convenient to accept a phone call while I already had the earplugs in and just talk away and resume podcasting afterwards (even though I only managed to accept calls with the push of a button in about 20% of all cases, which I'd like to improve on as well).

I still got an older headset from my HTC Desire that has working buttons/mic, but I really got accustomated to the in-ears with both the richer sound and the noise-cancelling aspects of using them, so there really is no going back to traditional earphones for me.

Basically here's what I'm looking for:

-) in-ear-headset with mic and at least a push-button to play/pause podcasts in BeyondPod, volume control would be a nice extra but isn't necessary

-) ability to reliably(!) accept and end calls with the push of a button (if I need an additional app to accomplish that, that's fine)

-) as I mostly listen to podcasts, audio-quality isn't all that important, even though I'd also use them to listen to music (mainly rock, metal, industrial, so a good base bass would be appreciated) on a SanDisk Sansa Clip+ - so if the sound quality is actually good, I'd be happy

I was looking at the Klipsch S4A headset, but they mention that there are compatibility issues with the S2 - I don't need fancy triple-click combos to skip to the next track, etc. I only need working and reliable play/pause and accept/hang-up functionality, would the S4A be able to accomplish that with a Galaxy S2?

I'd like to stay below 70 euros/90 dollars if at all possible. Any recommendations from people using a headset in a similar way with an S2 would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TheSniperFan:
Well I don't own them myself, but I've searched the internet a bit and have two potential ones for you:

AKG K 328

AKG K 350

Both are in your price range and AKG is a very good choice. Especially when it comes to audio-quality. I know you said it's not important for you, but I can assure you that you won't regret it. ;)

Anyway there is a small problem. They were made for Apple devices.

Solution:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1352389

It seems that it works, it's just that I personally cannot confirm it. If you want to be sure, just ask the person that made the thread.

In a nutshell:

They have a high build quality.

They are comfortable.

They have (apparently) working controls.

They look awesome (especially the red K328)

There is one downside however...their sound quality will make never want to touch the Samsung earphones anymore...believe me.

If you should buy them, please tell me if they really work, add I consider to buy one of those once my old ones break.

I have some htc RC E190 ear phones, they only set me back £10 from ebay and I love the sound on them, they also have flat cable that doesn't get tangled. They have a 3 button in line remote which allow answer and end calls and with poweramp the remote allows volume up and down, middle button does the following:

single press for start / stop, double press for skip track forward, triple press for back a track.

I use mine for mainly industrial / ebm /metal etc, and was extremely amazed at how good they sound for the price.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Darkguy:
Update: I decided on the HTC RC E190, which were fine enough for my needs, if a bit on the silent side. A few days ago, the cable probably broke around the connector, resulting in the sound cutting out in one of the buds.

Not quite decided on whether to get another set (I like the flat cable design, which really proved to be tangle-free in around 95% of everyday use and the in-ears fit nicely, only real downside was that they're a bit on the quiet side) or opt for a different pair.

My suggestion is the Bose MIE2 headset. Fits great, very comfortable and doesn't fall out of the ears due to those funny-looking silicone holders. And it sounds very good, I use it myself together with the Neutron Media Player.

Hi,

In France, the 4th Mobile Operator, FREE, is launching a wifi access for mobile phone. This access is relayed by all the Adsl Box from FREE ADSL.

The SSID of this Wifi Access is "FreeWifi_secure" and it is protect by WPA EAP-SIM.

FREE is solding some android phones with the ability to configure EAP-SIM but they do not share the changes they made it on their Roms.

I use an EVO 3D GSM with KingIceCobra3D 1.2. And i found a simple method to connect to this wifi.

In the file:

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

adb shell cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
device_type=10-0050F204-4
config_methods="push_button keypad"

[COLOR="Red"]network={
ssid="FreeWifi_secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=SIM
priority=5
}
[/COLOR]

Add theses Lines in red

Carefull to preserve the rigths of this file after the modification

1) Get the File and rename it to wpa_supplicant.conf

2)

adp push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell chown 1000:1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

The B) point isn't resolve : what is the code for and when have i to put it inside ?
[HTC EVO 3D] fxjumper:
Hello,

The second code is an example to install the wpa_supplicant.conf file. This replaces your ssid configured.
