Yeah, because *that* is going to help :rolleyes:

We already know Samsung is working on this. We know how to fix the problem in custom kernels. We know Samsung replaces devices that are bricked this way.

Also, technically the chip isn't faulty, the chip's firmware is faulty. The problem is that updating the firmware on those chips is a really nasty affair you really don't want end-users to be doing, unless it has gone through some very rigorous testing.

What possible use would it be to exchange all the Note's out there with new models with fixed firmwares, if they can just as well release a software update (that we know they are working on) that accomplishes the same thing ?

What exactly do you want to happen here, aside from wasting a metric ****ton of Samsung's money, which we'll all have to pay extra on the next device to recuperate these funds ?

This problem is something us "tweakers" need to be aware of for now, until it is fixed. Normal users will rarely if ever even run into this issue, and if they do, Samsung will replace the unit under warranty. Us tweakers have been warned, we know how to work around it, and we know a fix is coming - what could you possibly want beyond that ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] raagavak:
i do agree with this .:mad: samsung must replace all the faulty devices. i already bricked my device when wiping data with stock ics +root . i installed rom only after customised pit by which i have only 9gb on sdcard . i want a replacement or solution to this :mad:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] hawkerpaul:
Ok, I've been reading this for ages, but can someone make this clear for me please.

Is this potential brick a problem with the existing kernel that you flash onto, or with the new kernel you are flashing? Or perhaps a combination of the two?

Is it only triggered by a kernel flash, and is it only CWM-Recovery flash related?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
The key is whether the kernel you are currently running makes the problematic calls that result in the eMMC controller firmware running its buggy code.

So it's the kernel you are running, not the kernel you are trying to flash.

The problem can occur on any wipe operation, e.g. a wipe, factory reset, or flash from recovery.

Flashing from PC, via Odin/Heimdall, does not use your currently installed kernel (I believe) which is why it is safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] hawkerpaul:
If the problem occurs only when performing wipe-type operations in CWM recovery, are you still at risk if you perform these operations manually in a CWM script instead of via the CWM Recovery menu options.

ie:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9"); (format /system)

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7"); (format /cache)

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10"); (format /data)

I may be going way off course here, but does these script commands being safe depend on the script's update-binary file?

If these operations are indeed safe in a script providing the update-binary file is known to be safe, can someone please post a link to a safe update-binary file? If this has absolutely nothing to do with it then please ignore! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] whmcal:
Despite the promised fix from Samsung (which is great), I still think these faults need to be publicized more within the media in order for Samsung to be less complacent with future so-called 'flagship' products.

To the active android community this makes sense, but how will they get the fix out to the customers that don't understand about software like odin or CWM? Or will samsung just push it through kies or OTA as an update?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Droidphilev:
arg, getting worried now too. i have the bug too and i am wondering:

i have NEAT rom with latest cf-root version. i flash allot of themes etc from within recovery mode. is flashing a zip with themes/icons or an app also dangerous? or is it only flashing a zipped kernel that is dangerous?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Obliterator:
I don't usually reply to stupid questions, but since you seem so concerned I will anyway.

First of all, this will only happen if you have a bad emmc chip indicated by chainfire's apk and a recovery binary that attemps to erase partitions when formatting them, mostly all ICS binaries, as stated by Entropy; and a flashed kernel which allows that attempt to erase a partition.

SO, the customers who do not know about CWM and ODIN obviously have not ventured into Rooting their phones and therefore flashing custom ROMS/Kernels/Recoveries. Hence, they have not attempted to conduct a Wipe Data/Factory Reset through Recovery. And for the Brick Bug to expose itself requires the user to not only do the steps mentioned in this paragraph, but also meet the criterion mentioned (simultaneously) in the previous paragraph.

If you had read the post by Entropy512 and Chainfire you wouldn't be asking that question. :)

Cheers.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] p51d007:
Don't worry about the brick bug

I don't know....maybe it is the noobs, worry warts or something, but this brick bug stuff cracks me up. Yes, it can be a serious issue. When it first came up, NO ONE was sure what caused it. Now that the word is out, I don't see what the big scare is. If people would READ before they leap off of a cliff, perhaps a lot of bricked devices wouldn't happen. I have the same problem with field techs where I work, NOT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS before they perform a task, then call me to ask what went wrong. The FIRST question I ask, is "did you read the procedure before you did it?". 99% of the time the answer is "no, I just did it the way I always have before". The problem is, most of our systems went from an imbedded windows OS to an imbedded Linux OS. So the procedures to do any updates are DIFFERENT, and potentially damaging to the device if done wrong.

I have an international G-Note I bought in December. I thought about flashing

a non stock rom before ICS came out, but, after reading several threads in the rom section, this rom had that glitch, that rom had a different glitch. ICS leaks

came out, and although there are some great roms out there, none really caught my attention, without some sort of issue. After shelling out what we have to, for an unlocked, unbranded device, I was not about to screw it up, on a non stock rom, for now.

The official ICS rom (mine is a German DBT) came out, flashed it, since it is a

non wipe (too much on my device to wipe), I flashed it, rooted it. A few days

later, there were those reports starting saying the device was bricked. A little

uneasy, I started watching the boards & my device, and then chainfire & company (not sure who the actual credit goes to) found what the problem was and that it was a bug in the chip, which, if you did a wipe, could cause the

device to BRICK hard. Now, from what I have read in several groups, as long as you don't wipe, don't do a restore that does a wipe, you "should" be ok.

Now that I have that rant out of the way, I'll add just a touch of humor to

an otherwise tense situation. I "added" a little to the verdict section of the

app that Chainfire came up with, to alert those with devices that can be

subject to the brick bug, IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. So, to

me, either follow the directions, or stick with GB until/if Samsung or the developers on XDA, come up with a sure fire way to prevent a wipe, if you

are on a ICS rom that can brick your phone.

Chainfire, THANK YOU for this app, and I hope my little attempt at humor doesn't offend you, for my adding to the "warning" section of your great

app.

I just finished pre-ordering mine!! I'm excited! I hope my area allows for early delivery. Also in case anyone else here knows more about this, how early can we expect a pre-order? They say they will try to get it delivered before June 21 but how early are we looking at? Maybe a week?
[Galaxy S III General] almightywhacko:
I preordered my own, the 32GB Pebble Blue model. I am very excited however I wouldn't expect the phone any earlier than June 21. Sprint says they will try to get it here earlier but at most "earlier" probably means a couple of days.

There is a big "customer event" in Boston on June 12th to officially announce this phone and give people hand's on with it (along with other Sprint related tech & info). I signed up to go but I don't know if I will since all I am interested in is this phone and I already have it pre-ordered :)

As a side note, I don't know how everyone feels about cases but I absolutely love TPU cases on my phones. Not only do they protect great but they also increase grip and don't add noticeable bulk. I found an eBay seller that has black matte TPU cases for $3. Hopefully it arrives before my phone does :)

[Galaxy S III General] Latinaso:
I haven't been this excited about a phone either since the iPhone 4! I pre ordered it the first day that sprint put it up for pre order, i think it was Monday... Anyways, the sales rep that took my order told me that at the end of the sale she would tell me what day her system is giving her that i would receive the phone, she said it would be the 8th, which now, its tomorrow! I have been clicking on the Check the status of your order page at least 4 times per day just to see if they put a tracking number on it yet, but no luck!

I am freaking out! I called sprint back yesterday to verify and they said that they didn't know when it would be shipped... I just wanna know if anyone else have been given an actual date like i was given one too... She probably just made a mistake, but that mistake is driving me crazy!!! I want that phone now!!! LOL

Hi all, I've got a Flyer 10.1 which has been upgraded to 3.2 Honeycomb. What is the best format to convert a movie to, is it MPEG or MP4? any help would be much appreciated!:)
[General Questions and Answers] mikpel:
Basically you are referring to the same format since .mpeg is MPEG-1 and .mp4 is MPEG-4. These are just different versions.

I think there isn't much of difference in which one you use.
[General Questions and Answers] torq1337:
Put any format, like mikpel said over me :)

But for watching the movies try to use the MX player... for the PRO version, just google it ;);)

If you get some lags on the video, switch to S/W and its gonna work better :) but just if the video gets lagy ;)
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
There is a difference as an mp4 can be in various codecs such as h264 or xvid whereas a standard mpeg video cannot.

Most common mp4 formats use xvid or h264 video codec with mp3 or aac audio.

Flyer supports mp4 in h263, h264, divx and xvid codecs with mp3 aac or wma audio.

Best for quality yet smaller filesize is h264 video with aac audio but an xvid avi mp4 with mp3 audio can be played on pretty much any thing and is similar in quality though produces slightly larger filesizes.

Dear all the experts developer,

I am currently using HTC sensation (rooted, s-off, super cid) with custom rom Hypersensation 2.2.

B4 flashing that rom, I was using sense 3.6 stock ICS which works fine with Myanmar fonts.

Here is how i did for that rom.

1- Copy MM font file (name is ZawGyi fonts) from computer and change the file to DroidSanFallback.ttf

2- Paste to SD card

3- Use ES file explorer and paste that DroidSanFallback.ttf to /system/fonts.

Everything went well. But when I flash hypersensation 2.2, everything went perfectly except the about 3 steps stuck at pasting the file to /system/fonts/.

An error message appered as "DroidSanFallback.ttf copying failed".

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hehateme93117:
I've searched (both xda and external sites) and I've read through many threads but I still don't have clear answers to these questions so I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide. I'm an Atrix user so I'm assuming a worst-case scenario mindset in order to properly weigh my options before upgrading.

1. What issues would HOX users face if the devs are never able to achieve S-OFF?

I think the normal behavior for S-ON is that you are not able flash kernels or radios. However, the devs have currently figured out a way to flash kernels on the HOX despite the lack of S-OFF. Similarly, there may also be a way to flash radios despite the lack of S-OFF too but this has not yet been achieved. I think S-OFF also lets a user resize partitions but I'm not sure why this would be a huge issue. Is this all more or less correct?

2. 1.85 devices can have their bootloaders unlocked once a new root exploit is found for that firmware, right?

My concern is that I'll get a 1.85 and be permanently stuck with an AT&T/HTC ROM.

This all comes down to the HOX vs. SGS3 for me. I really prefer the HOX but I'm not willing to risk being stuck with the AT&T ROM. Of course, this could be moot because we don't yet know whether or not AT&T will be able to convince Samsung to make an exception to their bootloader policy like they were able to do with HTC.

Thanks again for your help.
