[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] t3chw00di:
It all depends on the rom that you are running. Not sure what it was now but it was GB (memory sux), but with whatever rom it was, flash drives worked fine but the card reader didn't work. I recently tried the Unofficial CM9 and again the flash drive worked fine, but the card reader only worked sometimes. A few times it popped up with errors saying the card was damaged and wanted to format it. I did NOT let it format and it worked fine after a reboot. But the real winner of this story is the flappjaxxx ICS rom.

My card reader works great with this rom and I trust it for use at work. :D

As far as i717R, i717D, i717M, they are all the same physically......just different bloatware for each canadian provider.

My phone was a rogers phone and it appeared to have no otg capability when I got a cable from ebay. I'm now using the onlyone Rom and still no otg. I'm buying another cable to see if there's something wrong with the one I bought so I'm waiting to try another cable out.

There's really cheap cables on ebay and amazon, but then I don't know if that is the root of my problem.

You need CWM installed then you remove the bad ROM.. Least that is how I've always done it

Reflash CWM Recovery, download this stock Nandroid and extracted it to your clockworkmod/backup folder then restore it in the CWM Recovery

Hey this link shows the phone and the white version so thanks for posting. Id really like to see this in a tpu case, but im happy we at least have an option now.

Wow, this looks cool.

I wonder how the case actually feels, like if it feels like premium quality stuff or cheap plastic.

It's a good idea though, is it permenantly under drain or does it only work when the HOX battery is 'dead'?

Battery level LEDs are sweet!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicoelnino:
I recently deleted Kies from my pc as I never used it with my S2.

Now I want to root my S3 and I was wondering do I need to have Kies on my pc so that some driver files are present when rooting?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plexicle:
No, you don't. Just make sure you install the right device drivers.

If ODIN can pick up the phone, then you're fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
You need the Samsung drivers found on KIES.

As an alternative, you can just download the Samsung driver instal package from Softpedia etc

If you do instal KIES, ensure it is not running (or its process in PC task manager) when using Odin, or you may have issues with Odin. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artesea:
If Kies was installed when you used your GS2 you should already have the relevant drivers (well I did)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanchen:
It's recommended to install latest KIES.

Yesterday i got error when i plugged my phone to my notebook but then i installed kies then the driver successfully installed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
So, I bought a lapdock today at a local Verizon Wireless store because they are on sale for $50.

I got home, used it for about 3-4 hours, and cannot see myself ever using it for anything more than a charging station. You cannot run your own apps, except though a virtual 'mobile mode', where things run visually glitchy and the overall resolution is blurry since it is scaling it the image by a few pixels.

I am hoping that someone who uses this accessory can tell me that this has some other use other than browsing on Firefox. I am an IT professional, and multiple times during the week I have to go to client sites, and thought having this would be useful. If it just gives me Firefox (web browsing ability), then I can do that on one of the local computers

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] opnsrcaddict:
Also being in IT, I work a lot with terminal server environments via RDP. The sole reason I bought the lapdock was to access my company's and client's terminal servers from anywhere. I applied the webuntu mod to my device and installed rdesktop and tsclient. This gives me full access to administrate and maintain all of our servers from anywhere I happen to be.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
It might be better if you setup a custom port in the client's firewall then just change the RDP port on the TS in the registry to that port. At any rate, we use a professional monitoring agent that handles remote connectivity for support, among other things (hardware alerts, update monitoring, etc.)

Sidenote, I am finding this very hard to type on. The keys must be pressed down hard, especially the spacebar and there is no delete key. I am typing this post on the lapdock right now, and it has taken over 5 minutes. I could have posted it in the same time using the XDA app.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] silversonic1:
I use my lapdock for a larger screen on the netflix app. Also, the dock works as a mobile hdmi monitor, so my brother uses it to play on his xbox in whatever room he wants.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Wow I never knew you could plug another HDMI source into it, that's awesome. Anyway, I use mine just for surfing the web and watching Netflix, but hopefully the ICS webtop brings some cool new features.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] medic233:
fn-backspace is your delete key.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CurGeorge8:
In its current state, the webdock is only marginally useful. The firefox browser is glitchy and slow, and it seems to lock up and reboot pretty often. For $50 though, it is nice to have a full keyboard (using it now).

I guess I would say I bought it on somewhat of a gamble after seeing some of the previews of webdock 3.0 when Moto pushes ICS out to the Bionic. If it's slow and buggy, then I'm out $50 and still have a marginally decent keyboard and display. But, if it's decent, then it'll be $50 well spent.

But I really can't believe they sold these for $300 when they first came out. If you paid even half of that, then I truly feel sorry for you. The user experience is just downright frustrating.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
+1 on the previous posts. I bought it because of the sale, but never would have at even $90. I'm trying to set up webtop to fart around with Ubuntu, and using the dock as an easier twitter keyboard at conferences until I get another tablet. After that, I'll prolly give it to my kid, who was unfortunate enough to have me buy him a Bionic as well.

Just got a new Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've been trying to do the quick CF-root

- Model Number GT-I9300

- Baseband Version: I9300XXLE8

Its completely stock, I wanted to root it particularly to get rid of the bloatware. To the best of my knowledge I've done everything correctly.

USB debug on

No Kies running in the background

Odin detects the phone connection when in download mode ("added" appears)

pick the .tar file, make sure repartition is unchecked

hit the start button and it gets stuck at "setupconnection" in Odin.

Also tried running odin in administrator mode taking out the battery for a while to no avail.

Your advice is much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plexicle:
Try a different USB port.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Do not connect through USB hub

Try another port (as previous post)

Another USB cable

USB debugging on

KIES process not running in PC tsk manager

Could also try uncheck "reset time"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beozie:
Sorry to take so long to reply. I've tried all the above except untick reset time.

An interesting note is that I recently tried to flash my Samsung Galaxy S1 as well and it comes up with the same problem. I kind of gave up on the matter and accepted that I can't root my S3, for now anyway.

Any further information would be grateful but not a priority for now.

I do have similar problem but that's because I wasn't in download mode. Are u sure u in download mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asifanwaruk:
TRY THIS

This happens to me too (new unlocked S3)

I had also given up but then I figured out how to get past it by accident:

When it is stuck, just unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in, and ODIN happily kicks in and does the flash with a successful PASS result.

Done it quite a few times now.

Jsut a weird quirk of the S3 it seems (my old Note was fine).

BTW I tried different USB ports, nonhubs, cables, ODIN183, 187, 304 etc. All did same, until I found this trick, and BTW I am actually flashing via a hub now and it works fine with this trick.

Hope this helps.

Hi Guys...

Please try the following

ODIN/Download Mode

1. Make sure your device is completely off

2. Volume Down, While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button until you see a disclaimer on the screen

3. Then let go of both buttons and press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer

4. Once the green robot is visible on the screen this indicates that handset is in now ODIN/Download mode

This is on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Lte GT-i9195 . Strangely enough i managed to flash the GT-i9190 using the LineageOS 14.1 with the custom clockwork . However my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Lte GT-i9195 nothing happens on Odin .

The screen has the following under download mode in odin :

Odin Mode

Product Name : GT-i9195

Current Binary : Samsung official

System status : Official

Knox kernal lock : 0x0

Knox warranty void : 0x1

WRITE PROTECTION : ENABLE

This is not my first flash , Im familiar with the flashing processes , I've done 3 phones . I tried cyanogenmod , LineageOS and various other stock roms all worked fine . My issue is I have no Boot recovery image . Nothing wants to flash via odin . Stock software crashed so I decided to repair it since it was out of warranty period , No matter what i do nothing works , i can flash perfectly on other samsung devices from the same port , the same pc , tried different roms , thinking roms were damaged via download or extraction . The best of my S4 Mini's are dead the LTE version :( anyone has a solution give me a shout out please .

Few observations:

To make boot.img use:

mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk bootimg-ramdisk.cpio.gz --cmdline [URL="https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_device_samsung_galaxysl/blob/ics/BoardConfig.mk#L20"]"console=ttySAC2,115200 consoleblank=0"[/URL] --base [URL="https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_device_samsung_galaxysl/blob/ics/BoardConfig.mk#L21"]0x10000000[/URL] --pagesize [URL="https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_device_samsung_galaxysl/blob/ics/BoardConfig.mk#L19"]4096[/URL] --output boot.img

Use BBCODE to make the guide easier to read.

You don't necessarily need Ark, nearly every file archiver in linux can do that and there are also command line tools that are surely included in your linux distro (see the content of the script attached).

You need to sign up to download the scripts.

Are you sure about this?

./boot.img split_bootimg.pl

I think you swapped the names (I can't verify it, the reason is right above :p)

___

Here attached there's a script I made to easly unpack and repack CM kernels. It's based on this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242675

How to use it:

Place your boot.img in the same directory of the scripts and then run:

./unpack

It will extract the kernel and the compressed ramdisk.

./unpack -a

Same as above, but it will completely extract the ramdisk.

./repack

To make the new boot.img. It will also create kernel-updater.zip to flash the kernel from recovery.

If you put a directory named modules inside ./outfiles/ (it's created after you run ./unpack) with your self built modules (those that will go in /system/lib/modules/), they will be included in the updater zip.

Thanks to alfrix for the updated mkbootimg and the "teamhacksung styled" updater-script :D.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sachin sharma:
NO i tried most archives but they dont work they again give the same file i.e. ramdisk.gz

try it than say anything!!!

n there are many ways to unpack / repack anything so don't say that this is not neccessary or that is not neccessary

this thread is just about my preferred way!!!

if have ur own way than we will be happy to see ur guide thread!!

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
unpacking repacking can b easily done with Skin's unpack repack tools :) i use those :D best way to split kernels and ramdisk :D works like a charm ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother with my post.

I won't open a new thread, I was almost adding my scripts to skin's thread, but then I saw this one and it was about unpacking a CyanogenMod boot.img, so I added it here. There's no need to open a new thread in my opinion, because I don't have nothing more to say.

For the file archiver thing, I'm pretty sure of what I'm saying. Maybe you couldn't open it with other programs because you need to do it twice. The ramdisk is first gzip compressed and then cpio compressed. Maybe Ark does it twice automatically, but in linux there's not so much difference between a file archiver and another, they are all frontend and use the same tools almost always or maybe when you installed Ark other needed programs where automatically installed.

Regarding the mkbootimg arguments. I downloaded your tools and they confirmed what I wrote and I'm not surprised of this, because I'm using the same arguments amit/codeworkx/waleedq/dhiru used/are using in their kernels (as I linked you in my previous post).

Page size: 4096 (0x00001000)
Kernel size: 3429280 (0x003453a0)
Ramdisk size: 2957744 (0x002d21b0)
Second size: 0 (0x00000000)
Board name:
Command line: console=ttySAC2,115200 consoleblank=0
Writing boot.img-kernel ... complete.
Writing boot.img-ramdisk.gz ... complete.

It doesn't mean that you must use them, I've never said anything like this, but I'm pretty sure they all know better than me what they are doing, so I prefer to stick with those values and that's what I wanted to say in my previous post, but I admit that it sounded like "you are wrong, you must do this like this".

I really appreciate your effort, it was not easy for me at first to understand the differences between a stock boot.img and a CM one, so a guide like this would have been really helpful.

So you are saying that with those tools you were able to unpack and repack the ramdisk changing things in it? Because I can't see this in his tools, so if they are working it simply means that you are not completely unpacking your boot.img, but simply splitting the kernel and the ramdisk.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sachin sharma:
ok thnx for ur suggestions

but i have tried all the steps i have written

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Skin's tool splits kernel and ramdisk.... after that you can use gunzip from the command line to extract, modify and repack the cpio archive into the gz archive. Then again use skin's tool to repack the boot.img

Same as above.

I'm sorry to keep on with this OT, but I feel involved, like as everything started from my posts.

I hope this bad (I don't know why you think that) experience won't stop you from writing other tutorials or share your works.

This is a forum, people shares their own experiences and opinions. Sometimes users are rude (I hope I wasn't, even though your answers gave me that impression). In these situations ignore such users.

I know, as you can see in one of my previous posts, the scripts I made are based on skin's tool.

I put that in the wrong way, what I meant was that this guide explains the uncompressing/compressing process needed to succesfully modify all the files inside the ramdisk (I think no one ever explain this, at least in this subforum) other than explaining how to manually split the kernel and the ramdisk. I was trying to say that this tutorial is very useful, but I did it in the wrong way :p.

It's always good when someone shares something.

Keep up the good work, I saw you are doing a lot of stuff for this community.
