[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
No, flashing the firmware won't lock it to a specific carrier, but you have to download the right firmware, for example, try downloading from SamMobile or from Samsung Firmware, search for your model number there, and download the firmware based on your country code.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josheee22:
Hey thanks so if I'm understanding flashing any firmware as long as it is for this correct model sm-n910w8 will be fine? Even if the device was initially Rogers (Canadian carrier) and I'm flashing telus (also Canadian carrier)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
the n910w8 is a North America variant, assuming you're using a Rogers sim card right now, if you bought the phone from Rogers branch then it might be locked to them, to know that for sure, try a different carrier sim card on the phone, if it asked for a unlock code, then the phone is locked to Rogers, if not then your phone is unlocked.

now, the n910w8 doesn't have a specifics carrier firmware, so what do you mean by "flashing telus firmware..and was originally Rogers"?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josheee22:
curently the phone has an unlocked bootloader. I am using a telus sim card, but i DO NOT know who the original carrier was of the device and when i search for android 6.0.1 versions to downlaod to fully reset, using odin, there are options for all the canadian carriers (telus, bell, rogers, sasktel, ect.) so if i download and flash the telus variant will it have any impact on my device?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
you're using telus now without problems, then flash telus firmware, if you are planning to use a Rogers sim card, then flash a Rogers firmware.

that's the latest telus firmware i found on SamMobile:

Why do they release 7.0 in some countries, if it can be used in all countries?

Whats the differences? There must be something!

Baseband, modem?

I'm still "afraid" to install from a different country. What about connection? Type of connection (3G/4G etc.), strength of connection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
a different country firmware will work for your phone, but it might have a modem that won't work with your carrier or it also might not have the language of your country, and other stuff, so you can wait, it will eventually be available for your country, or you can go ahead and flash it, and see if everything will work or not.

Has anyone tried to install w8 on Dell laptop? I've successfully installed on it but no display on screen. However I can see desktop if I plug into TV via HDMI.

Any solutions?
[Windows 8 General] Anoosha@Dell:
Hi,

This is Anoosha from Dell Social Media Team.

This is with regards to the issue which you are facing. As per the display specification of Vostro 3350, the Maximum resolution supported is 1366 x 768 pixels at 263 K colors. But windows 8 has a higher resolution rate which is not compatible on this model. You can try saving the above resolution when connected to TV and check the display on system, but this might lead to other driver conflict.

Please reply for any concerns.

Regards,

Anoosha@Dell

[Windows 8 General] blisslove:
Hi Anoosha,

Thanks for your reply. It doesn't work on screen even I set the correct resolution. Now, I've to use the VMPlayer to try windows 8.

Just one upset thing is that I can't use windows 8 on my laptop even I would like to buy it.

Is there anyway can we get a new display driver which supports windows 8?

Thanks.

I completely understand your concern but we are sorry to tell that as of now the drivers available are for windows 7. The manufacturers have to release the drivers for windows 8 in order for us to update on our support site and this would take a month or two.

Is there any Android tablet? I didnt know. Never saw one. Thought it was a big smartphone only.
[Windows 8 General] ironical:
Windows 8 is also not recognising my monitor on my laptop unless I disabled the intel drivers and use an incredibly low resolution.

There doesn't seem to be a fix anywhere apart from some ridiculous 'stand by' trick that works for some but not others.

According from Dell-Asooh, we need to wait for 2 or 3 months to get updated driver. That's not good enough to wait that long and use low resolution.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
It's the blue one (which is i think nearly black really and what I am hoping when mine turns up! ) Lighting makes a huge difference ;) as well as correct white balance and the screen you're using to look at things (unless properly calibrated). You can bet the advertising shots were lit in a way that really emphasised the blue. In the video you can clearly see a blue tint when he moves the phone around and it catches the light

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zieloniak:
Hello,

I have strange defect in my phone: after every power cycle phone wakes up in state it was at about February 13 2012. I can not permanently change anything. I also can not change firmware. I even have made full three stage recovery from broken nand write, as described elsewhere here, without changing anything.

What is strange: no warnings or failure notices. Phone is working normally. Flashing is also seemingly working okay. But after restart nothing is changed. Only when I work with big files, random apps start to crash. I discovered this when downloading maps.

My question is: can sgs2 with Android 2.3.3 seemingly work O.K. with totally nonfunctional nonvolatile memory writing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Because I don't know your history....

Did you full wiped that is

Format cache data system sdcard

Dalvik.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zieloniak:
I did. Nothing gets erased. If you know, how Android system works: in your opinion is it possible that system under light usage works O.K. in spite that nonvolatile storage is effectively read only?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Strange issue, but yes in theory, if your storage is busted in a way that it actually works as a read only, but when an application need to write something it fails and crashes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zieloniak:
When an application needs to write something it does not fail, at least when it does not write large amounts of data. I can do everyday tasks: add or remove contacts, add few apps (which then actually work), move icons on screens and so on. Is all this possible with NVmemory working as ROM? Because after power cycle all that is gone and all reverts to February 13 2012 state.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeMurphy:
Just a thought but have you tried erasing all the contents of your phone?

Using ODIN you can install an odin Cyanogenmod rom, use the pitfile and select repartition. This I believe wipes everything except the 14gb user data portion. Then, just format that under settings.

Perhaps a full wipe would fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
That's what I think too, but didn't told him because using pit got a high chance of bricking.

And the way he is using suggests he is out of warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zieloniak:
The phone does not effectively wipe at all. After any wiping or installing new roms/bootloaders/pits/anything the phone wakes up in state it was 2012/02/13, except date and time, which is current.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
If you have used pit and tick repartition, and still nothing erased, boy your internal storage is shouting get rid of me fast or I'll go dead on you soon.

Or I could be wrong and your phone will out lived you :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zieloniak:
I am pretty much convinced that my phone is irreparable. I do not look for solution to make it work normally again (although I would very much welcome one if I'm wrong).

I seek an answer from somebody who intimately knows, how Android filesystem works: Is it possible, that phone works seemingly O.K. under very light usage in spite that it cannot in fact write to flash memory? And work like this for 2 months without giving warning/error messages?

I compare my situation to a PC with ram-disk setup and an unwritable hard disk. This would not work long. Can Android?

Can't return the phone because all can tell its a rooted device with a custom rom on it. AOKP Milestone 6. Let me know what u did to get around this if u can....
[Acer Iconia A500] lcd047:
Summary: I tried to install the ROM that shouldn't be named over FLEXREAPER extreme, and now the tablet is bricked.

Previous state: A500, unlocked ICS bootloader v7, Thor recovery 1.7.3, FLEXREAPER RF1 EXTREME revision 2.

What I did:

I entered CWM recovery

I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, and battery status

I installed Tegraowners ICS ROM v169

I installed gapps-ics-20120429 (without rebooting)

I rebooted the tablet.

In retrospect, I suppose things went wrong when I didn't reboot before installing gapps, but it's too late to change that now.

Current state: the tablet won't boot, and pressing vol-up / vol-down doesn't help.

Connecting an USB cable from Linux, I get the USB ID 0955:7820, so the tablet seems to be in APX mode. I tried flushing the boot loader from scratch, but the operation fails:

./nvflash --bct bct.bct --setbct --bl bootloader_apx.bin --configfile flash.cfg --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0xXXXXXXXX 0xXXXXXXXX 0xXXXXXXXX 0xXXXXXXXX --sync

The above bootloader_apx.bin is ICS v7.

Edit: I do have a CWM backup taken just before installing the new ROM. So I suppose what I'm asking here is, how can I get to a bootable state with CPUID, SBK, the beginning of mmcblk0, and a working nvram. Help please?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
If u cannot get to fastboot volume up/power to flash a recovery

and cannot boot to the OS or recovery

U will need to downgrade back to HC. See jazzyjames rollback thread on how to do that.

Yr cpuid is listed above as 'chip uid'
[Acer Iconia A500] lcd047:
Ok, solved

Thanks for the answer. I got it working with TimmyDean's tool in a roundabout way: I re-created the partitions with TimmyDean's bootloader, and that allowed me to flash the unlocked ICS bootloader and recovery. Then I rebooted into recovery and I was back in business.

I should note however that I lost all the data from the internal sdcard in this process. I'm not sure if that was the result of me futzing with nvflash, or if re-creating the partitions did that; the end result is all files are gone. That's a pain, but survivable. At least my tablet is back, which is good, because with that rounded shape it would have made a lousy door stop.
