Repeat after me "The Daily Jackboot is not a suitable source of information" :D

Seriously, they're worse than the Heliograph (even with non-scaremongering stories, like the recent article about a 2CV driver who broke down in the Sahara, according to the DM he turned the remains of his car into a motorbike in order to make it the 20 miles to the nearest town rather than die, where as in truth, being a typical Citronian he thought "car's buggered, I know I'll turn it into a motorbike rather than walk" and was in no risk of death at any point).

Not that its "journalism" is much better (although it does tend to be somewhat less scaremongery), this article from the Grauniad on the same day, ie using the same press release as the scaremongering DM, says:

"It is expected that the new system will allow security officials to scrutinise who is talking to whom and exactly when the conversations are taking place, but not the content of messages"

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sponge_worthy:
Maybe this has been answered before, but my searches are proving unsuccessful. I thought I remember being able to transfer some of the public library books I checked out over to my Transformer before I installed a ROM. The Adobe Digital Editions doesn't seem to find my Transformer any more.

Is this because I have rooted the device now? Or is something else wrong/missing? Or am I not remembering correctly that the Asus MyLibrary app didn't open DRM? I hadn't been using it, but my son just broke my Nook so I was hoping to use my tablet now.

Hello, I've looked around to find this answer but couldn't find an exact match. I want to downgrade from rocketrom ics to stock GB 2.3.6 using odin, my current. Kernel is franco. My device is checked and known to have dangerous eMMC bug. Is it completely safe to flash stock gb from rocketrom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
Yes your fine to flash through odin they bug only happens if you factory reset while on a ICS kernel

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Yes, use PC Odin to flash, then perform a factory reset when you're on gb.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_imp_rules:
Sorry but i need to clarify this

So, is it ok to flash any rom with safe kernel? For instance CM9 RC1? I'm on official ics 4.0.3 from samsung, and like most of the note users i have the f*ing bug :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Cm kernels will not work with tw based roms, only with aokp/aosp, and vice versa. You'll have to read up on the kernel pages themselves on which rom types they support.

So flash to gb first, perform full wipe, root and install cwm, then you can install custom kernels and roms from there. Never install from ics kernel, only downgrade to gb to be safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_imp_rules:

Downgrading to gb means; directly flashing a gb rom right? Yes, i'm new to all this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iraqi4ever80:
hi everybody

i am sorry for bothering you i just want to ask when using pc odin to downgrade from ics to gb stock rom is enough one pda file or i had to use the other phone and csc file with pit file and repartition, that is my first question.

the second one after flashing the stock gb can stay on stock kernel or it is unsafe.

thank you in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Most of the rom files split down into three files but If you place the original tar file into pda, odin sorts out the partitions correctly for you.

All stock gb kernels are safe from emmc superbrick bug, safe to perform wipes.

So i get my first boot loop, and discovered the Download Mod that i use with Odin3 to reset my phone to factory.

Odin failed. So now i got my phone that don't turn on at all, i try to pull out the battery, make the combinaison of the Download Mod before i put back the battery while it's USB plug on my PC... nothing work...

Why there aren't any apps that can make your voice sound like Darth Vader for example, to make pranks over the phone with your friends.

I suppose the nowadays CPUs are powerful enough to do that in real time, i imagine simple modulation like pitching up the voice should need minimal CPU time anyway.

Are there OS restrictions or something else in the way of that?

Refer back to this post again, and...

For 1. follow the instructions in step 2a) of this guide, except use this file: I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click Downloader (See Download Repository, link in sig) which contains the bootloaders and param.lfs.

For 2. and 3. since the phone will be in a boot loop, you need to install the kernel with Odin3 v1.85. Download the kernel from this Media Fire link. Then follow the steps in this post, except use the kernel you just downloaded instead of the stock kernel.

Follow 4. and 5. then for 6. download the tar version of Siyah kernel, and use the same proceedure as immediately above to flash it.

What have you flashed with Odin. If you flashed the I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full package, then you are where you are expected to be. If this is this all you have flashed to this point, then you should still have a boot loop or error messages.

Next flash the SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3 kernel tar using Odin. Following this flash, you should be able to enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.

The thrid step is to flash the Siyah kernel using Odin. Use the link in 6. of that guide and download the tar version.

After it shows the GT-I9100 boot screen and yellow triangle with exclamation mark, does it boot on in to the operating system?

The GT-I9100 boot screen and yellow triangle with exclamation mark is present because you flashed a custom kernel with Odin. This can be cleared later, but first you need to be able to boot the phone all the way up.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minikrob:
Hello guys,

1st of all, I've been looking through forums and "Similar threads we found" but didn't find the one thing I need : a perfect synthesis on ROMs, Kernels, basebands, etc...

I hope you guys can help me !

I'm a recently owner of the LT18i and tried to flash Kernel and ROMs on it, but failed mainly because I was too drunk to follow steps in the meant order.

Config :

LT18i Stock ROM GB 2.4.3

Baseband 64

Build 4.0.2.A.0.62

Here I am today with this choice :

- Try again to install Arconium 7.3 as I originally planned (the one designed for my build).

- Find others ROMs / Kernels to flash.

I'd like to update on an early version of Androïd (most likely ICS) but need a few answers to following questions before I feel confident :

- Is it possible and safe (regarding AND regardless my phone) to change my build from 4.0.2.A.0.62 to 4.1.B.0.431 or anything accepting ICS on Arc S ?

- Does baseband change anything in the process, if yes, how ?

- Is it sufficient just to flash the last kernel and last ROM on my phone to have ICS on my stock GB phone ?

Please note I'm not actually a beginner as I already touched to ROMs, CWM, ..., but I'm like totally lost when I see information widespread on hundreds of different threads of thousands of pages each !

In a nutshell, I just need a few steps synthesis of how I could switch from my current config to an ICS 4.x Arconium Arc S (if it is possible).

Thanks in advance,

Minikrob
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
Its not hard at all to cwitch from GB to ICS...

stuffs required:

- ICS kernel( Xarc or ArcKnight recommended)

- Custom ROM( Arconium ICS 4.0 recommended as it is based on stock ICS )

- Baseband 72

yes it is 100% safe to taste ICS :)

Baseband as the name suggest is required for mobile network..latest one normal has btr network coverage with btr battery life

You need to flash a ICS kernel and an ICS ROM as i have mentioned above

steps:

Copy ROM to sd card

Flash a Kernel with flashtools

Flash baseband in fastboot

enter recovery and clean everything(data,cache)

Flash ROM

Reboot

I hope you know how to enter recovery and all
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minikrob:
I know how to !

This is great, exactly what I was looking for. I might sound like dumb, but the single thing I didn't even know about is we could flash Basebands.

I've now all necessary tools to taste ICS, as you said !

Thanks a lot !
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartarse93:
I believe it is the other way around, flash baseband in flashtools and kernel in fastboot. I would say your better off either getting the ftf of ics 4.0.4 or flashing via pcc if its available for you. It might be worth seeing if you like the UI before you start getting into custom roms etc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minikrob:
I'm pretty sure I've to flash my kernel via Flashtool, I did it before, can't say for the baseband, but I'll find a way.

And I already globally looked at ICS, this seems pretty cool to me, it will do it !
