[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
Hi,

Can I update my Indian SEARET A2 (MB865) running BULLET custom ROM from 2.3.6 to 4.0 ? Whats stopping me is this : System Version 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US. on my phone. BUild is -5.5.1-EDEM-28-37.

I believe the ICS leak for the Asia retail ver is working on Indian A2, as reported by many.

My other query:

1) Do I have to go back to stock 2.3.6 to upgrade to 4.0 or I can staright away start from this rom?

2) Will i preserve root? If not, then please list the steps to root the 4.0?

I request a stepwise solution , preferably from my Indian friends. IT would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] badbomb:
works for me

ya it works for me... I tried the steps listed at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683893

with a little variation... my phone was originally Searet version

1. I flashed to Mearet using RSDlite and then upgraded to 55.28.37 through OTA

2. The rooting script was not available in the above link so I took it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1687957

3. After running the script I was able to install the ICS zip from the SD card and got it running on my phone.

4. As per the original guide the phone should restart 3 times and finally root will be available but did not happen in my case and I am not sure what the issue was

5. So I went ahead and rooted it using the files from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1707863, the original site is in Chinese, so i have attached the files to this post to make it easier :D

6. Ran the bat file and got ICS rooted on my Atrix 2 :victory:

Have restored all my apps using titanium backup and they are working fine. No other issues on my phone.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
Man!!! that worked flawlessly... thanks a lot !!!! Thanks for the step-by-step hand holding...I am now on rooted 4.0.4..looking forward to restoring apps and njoying ICS!!! thanks again!!:good::victory:

[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
As of now I haven't encountered any bugs, may be as I use I will discover some. Where can I find the hk ICS rom and I will flash straight from Recovery right? Will I lose root?:confused: Thanks for the advice.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
okay..one major bug...my 3G isnt working on this rom. Any ideas?? Anybody has the same issue?
[Motorola Atrix 2] badbomb:
I think you have to do this

1. Factory reset

2. wipe cache

3. wipe dalvik cache

I did that and got 3G working. You can use Atrix 2 bootstrap recovery for this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
@badbomb

How do I do that? Wasn't that written for 2.3.6 or below? Would need some help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
install the atrix 2 bootstrap app (it's stickied in the dev section I think).

hot the first button. when it says success hit the second one. you will reboot into CWM, do as he said. dalvik wipe is under advanced.
[Motorola Atrix 2] badbomb:
thanks lkrasner

@deborshi

it works on ICS also... and you can follow the steps as listed by lkrasner
[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
Tried the following as per lkrasner and badbomb

1) installed atrix2 bootstrap.apk( already had backed up, just restored..my bad!!)

2) Got into CWM recovery

3) wiped cache

4) wiped Dalvik cache

5) Rebooted

Result. No 3G.

Anymore ideas guys?? Think I did alright with the steps.:(. Should I reflash the leaked ICS rom again?
[Motorola Atrix 2] badbomb:
you have to do factory reset and then perform the cache wipes... guess you skipped that to avoid reinstalling all your restored apps :)

I don't think it will work if you do not perform a factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik wipe(all 3 of them)
[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
@badbomb.

I did factory reset. wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache. rebooted but no luck. There no APNs listed , so no mobile data is working( no 2G/3G).

Any ideas from all the knowledgeable people here?
[Motorola Atrix 2] zeph_syk:
I remember from another thread that you have radio.img flashed from SEARET right? might be that is causing an issue.

I did not have to push any radio.img at all, as my network is stable and good on once i was on ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ewandroid:
you just have to request the apn setting with your carrier or google the apn setting for your carrier and put it manually into your phone
[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
[problem solved]

@ewandroid

Yeah ..thats exactly what I did. Manually put APN settings into the phone.

Now, 2G/3G is working perfectly.

Thanks everybody for your time and help. Really appreciate it.

Will keep posted if I come across any more bugs.

Just a thought: Can we OC this ROM??? Being greedy....:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] siddhesh1609:
The person who flashed radio from searet was me :D Anyways I encountered this APN bug as well but manually putting APN solves it
[Motorola Atrix 2] zeph_syk:
Hey Buddy, can you provide me link to download the SEARET SBF file, which contains all the *.img files (radio.img,boot.img etc)

The Firefox from play store seems incompatible but you can give Aurora from Mozilla a try. Still alpha I believe but works well for me so far on my prime. Snag the apk directly from Mozilla!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Seahorse:
Firefox does not work at all at time of writing, which I find frankly deplorable. Aurora does, however, it isn't rendering some pages correctly in mobile or standard browser modes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avlon:
Firefox Beta asbeen updated in the Play Store with tablet support. I'm posting from it right now

The bad: It renders slower than stock or Chrome and the occasional ANR (though it seems to happen less than with the stock browser.)

The Good: Extensions like adblock and phony. Flash support and it's very very smooth now. I like to stress test on cnets site and it works pretty well there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasir javed:
on google plus i read some one explain rooting. i know what is rooting and i think every one know what's rooting but i never read such explanation of rooting. so here is answer of what is rooting??

1. You know you’re rooted when your girlfriend can’t get hold of you for an hour because you’re in recovery.. and she becomes suspicious.

2. You know you’re rooted when someone asks if rooting is like jail breaking their iPhone and you laugh in their face.

3. You know you’re rooted when boot loops don’t scare you anymore.

4. You know you’re rooted when your girlfriend looks in your messages and gets suspicious cause you have none.

5. You know your are rooted when u scream “YESSSS” in a bus full of people because a rom update successfully booted up.

6. You know you are rooted when someone at a party says “hey you have that awesome 12/8 mp camera phone right? Please take a pic of us” and you can only sheepishly reply “Cyanogenmod doesn’t have working camera yet”

7. You know you’re rooted when you take your Android phone to the service center and they say that your warranty is voided because of rooting.

8. You know your rooted when you wake up and your Android device is still in your hands.

9. You know you are rooted when two iPhone guys are talking about their phones and you are sitting there smiling thinking “if only they could understand the things you do on your phone is of a magnitude higher than they can ever do”

10. You know you’re rooted when your microUSB cable connected to your PC is used more often than your mouse.

The sound is fairly loud, its a single short click, 10 seconds (ish) after the call, later another, happens a few more times then stops.

I noticed since the first CM7.2 RC, installing the latest 7.2 has not fixed the problem.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinasnow:
Hello Dear friends,

This is Alvina Snow, a nooby nooby noob girl, who once liked to play with phones and would make fun of her buddies, carrying the stereo-typed GB versions on thier Note. I am no more interested in flashing Roms and not because i blame developers. They have always been great in thier job and i owe them for their coolest roms, but i blame myself and my hastiness in everything. Cutting the crap, let me come to the point.....

Last night, tired of the mediocre looks of Official ICS, i downloaded Paranoid Android 0.4a along with goodies and following the instructions, I opened Odin to downgrade to GB so i can install PA 0.4a safely. To my surprise, once the GB Rom installed successfully, it got stuck at bootloader, i rebooted it a few times, then i went to recovery and reset factory/ format, wiped cache and rebooted. Note stuck this time on the first screen. :fingers-crossed:

Presuming that Odin install may have been faulty, i redid the Odin method and this time, the install stuck at "factoryfs.rfs". From then on, i tried for hours to make it happen, swapped roms, used kernels, wiped everything... and ultimately i got a nice super brick on my hands. the notorious mobile-cum-triangle-cum-PC sign, asking me to use recovery through kies. :(

researched XDA all night and finally landed on Dr. Forest's "Easy guide for repartition workaround to fix super-brick Note"

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12

Did everything as directed. I used "standard 16 GB pit" and stable GB rom to resurrect my Note and we both came to life to my surprise, only to discover that now i have an 8.24 GB emmc space available, instead of previously held 11.4 GB something. :victory:

I have been praying for Dr. Forest and all esteemed developers and i will always be thankful to them. My questions to my learned seniors is that:-

- Is there any method, adopting which the missing 3 GB should be regained?

- Will I ever be able to regain the missing 3GB space?

- Having this notion in mind that now i have caged 3 GB of voracious malfunctioning space in my emmc, should i expect any further stability issues after revival of Note or it should work just fine.

Once again hats off to Dr. Forest and all other developers for thier compassionate assistance for us noobs. My thanks in advance for help. :angel:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
Thanks for the kind words which is a lovely reward to the people who contribute time and knowledge to the guides to help revive brick G-Note, including me :victory:!

I will try to answer some of the questions:

1- So far there has not been a known method to fix the faulty areas in the partition caused by the buggy ICS kernel yet. There seem to be some encouraging news from some senior developers who are in contact with Samsung developers and it is hope that there may be a Jtag method release. If the method is available then your device can also benefit from it since the re-partition is fully reversible. Let's just hope they can make it.

2- Will the phone be stable or not: for most people it seems to work well and stable. For some people who have a large damaged areas of space in former sdcard region due to the bug, there seem to be some problem of unstable system. In those cases it is likely that there are still some faulty blocks somewhere in cache or data partitions that has not been eliminated yet.

3- If you are comfortable with using adb method you can try again to explore the lost areas and in some cases can regain 1 or 2 GB of space. There is a free app call "eMMC Brickbug Check" from Gplay which can help to scan the whole chip and report the beginning of faulty blocks. Then you can use parted to make partitions in different areas within the lost range (from 281mb to 3322mb) while try to avoid the faulty blocks.

Hope it helps in some ways. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinasnow:
Thanx a Ton

Ex expected you came to my rescue and encouragement Sir Forest. :). Thanx a million for taking time to answer my queries. I hope that Samsung will soon come up with some remedy. As advised by you, i will also try to use the regain method. Though am not sure :o

Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinasnow:

Now when i check memory.. it started checking and showing something similar to seconds counting and the phone restarted after reaching 671 seconds..

Now pardon my noobness, but i am not clear if how am i gonna get help in determing defected areas out of this.:mad:

Help please. God Bless You
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
No, not yet all. In this case it does not allow to see where the faulty block is.

If you are confident and like to play again with adb then can explore using parted to create new partitions again in different ranges, with part 9 starting from 1174mb, and then move up by 300mb each time until parted is happy with the new area for part 9. with that approach you will probably save more space.

Otherwise, a external sdcard can also compensate more than all the loss of space in the internal sdcard :). cheers.

My Options.

Considering my options, I got few questions in my mind...

a. My Note is International version and purchased from KSA, whereas I am in Pakistan now. So can I claim my warranty here with Samsung Service Centres?

b. If yes, I obviously need to reset my binary counter, which is 4 or 5 at the moment. I also need to restore my Note to stock rom and stock kernel. Is there any safe way except Angelo's kernel and USB Jig to reset binary counter? i was looking for "Triangle Away" in the market, but i somehow couldn't find it.

Help my seniors please. If with your help I can go to Samsung and my warranty is validated, all credits with be to you guys for saving me from big troubles. To be honest I had been a poor kinda girl and managed barely to pull off my Note. I can't afford to manage a board replace night now :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Of you've repartitioned the note that will void your warranty I imagine.

What you really need is an untouched superbrick as Samsung won't be able to tell if it has any hits on the binary counter or if its ever been rooted or custom firmwares flashed...

So brick it again if you are able to claim warranty in Pakistan.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinasnow:
So, bricking its again seems a potentially dangerous job :fingers-crossed: besides what do you suggest, i should tell Samsung guys, how it happened. Coz i believe they are gonna ask me if how come the phone went dead :( and i have also learnt that they have ways to check binary count, even if the phone is Superbricked. I am in a fix, coz after investing 500$ on a Note, living without a 3GB phone space is pain in the a*s.

Help please
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
The brick has been acknowledged by samsung, they've admitted it can happen on fully stock uprooted firmware update over kies. That's all you say, you were updating through kies, it failed and you're bricked. They can't check binary count under super brick because it's not possible to enter download mode therefor impossible to get any data or connection off the device. Simple.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinasnow:
Well Dear spyderTracks, it confuses me further to think whether i was superbricked at all? coz i could go to recovery and could also go to download mode. as far as i know, u r super bricked if ur phone does not installs any rom and through odin, the rom installation stucks at factoryfs. please correct me if am wrong. :(

What happened?

I know that there's something wrong, but what can be?

I tried with another battery, it became hot the same way but a little less.

Hmmm¡*¡*sounds like some electric leakage's shown up on your r800i mainboard,

1 ) Hey. it's the SUMMER time now, check if your ambient temperature is high to cause this 40^C temp.

2 ). if not reason 1 then let's say a power leakage on the mainboard, which, usually followed by much shorter battery standby time than before.

3 ). if 2 ) is right, especially if the standby time is abnormal, then sending back to Sony for repair is suggested...

yeah Sony had your IMEI in record.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNCUT88RAW:
If you didn´t put the settings back from 1.4 ghz to 1.0 ghz than thats the reason why it´s so hot. I never used overclocking tools but when you play around with it i think settings are not stored on the internal memory. Did you change the kernel by the way?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejaman:
Sure, all stock, rom and kernel!

I've unlocked the phone throught the Sony guide but the fact that i've the bootloader unlocking code doensn't mean that i've used it, i've relocked bootloader so my question is: can they know if i've actually unlocked it?

Ambient temperature is under 40°.

Battery seems to have the same lifetime than before but i see that Voltage is 4.1V instead of 3.6V!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddybud:
Yeah that's pretty cool. Cunning¡«

BTW, if the battery standby works fine then I do think there is no need for a repair. You got a healthy machine and that¡®s all.

Seriously, I think it normal to hit 40 degree temp in summer, and there is no need to worry about it

You may actually check your system info when you feel hot, and probably you will find the battery temp is only 26^C, ¡«
