[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
Next time you drop your phone in water, as quickly as possible, bury it in dry rice and leave it there for a 24-48 hours (with the phone turned off). Dry rice is a natural desiccant. If you have a container of rice that's about 4" bigger than the phone is long and about 4" deep, but a few inches of rice in the bottom, put your phone on that and then bury it to the brim in rice. The rice will draw moisture out of the phone. Often this is sufficient to save a phone. However in your case, I doubt that it would do any good at this point.

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

I'm new at flashing but I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note, which already had Stock ICS on it.

Android Version: 4.0.3

Baseband: N7000XXLPT

Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507

Got brickbug confirmed that I am running a dangerous eMMC chip firmware. I bought this Note from eBay and I'm guessing the previous owner did a reset. It is still working and I had no trouble with it, so I guess I got lucky.

Since I would like to return to a safer kernel and install Paranoid Android I read myself into some threads but would like someone to review what I've gatherd:

Flash save kernel for ICS, for example speedmod kernel with PC Odin.

Device should reboot into ICS with new kernel.

Flash Gingerbread stock ROM for my country (germany) for example this one:

N7000XXKJ4 ------ 2.3.5 2011 october-------- N7000OXAKJ4 ------------------Germany (Debitel)

Device should restart wirh Gingerbread and an old Gingerbread kernel(?)

Root and install CWM using Dr. Ketans guide and batch file.

Follow instructions to install Paranoid Android v0.4 from CWM

I have some questions for this as well:

Speedmod kernel flashes CWM with it. Does that mean it flashes the kernel and the recovery partion, too? As I understood, the CWM works from inside the initramfs, which I thought got flashed with the kernel on the /system partion (or maybe the /boot partion) but not on the /recovery.

Does CWM disapear, when I flash another ROM?

I am pretty sure, that I am running a free (= open) Version of ICS on the phone. When I install a Stock Gingerbread ROM with a Carrier afterwards (like above the Debitel company), do I have to expect weired stuff?

I am running Win 7 64bit, and I would run Odin v1.85 with admin rights. Kies ist installed. Odin found the device, too.

Thanks in advance,

gador
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Speedmod Kernel will install Kernel, CWM and Root - And is flashable via odin or mobile odin.

CWM will disappear if you flash a stock ROM via ODIN, If you flash a custom ROM through CWM you will keep CWM (may change depending on kernel from the ROM)

If you flash a branded ROM via odin, You will probably get a lot of carrier branded bloatware on the device, But if you are sim unlocked, you wont get any weird issues like network unlock codes and so on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gador:
So I guess, I can go ahead and they're no fatal flaws in my procedure?

(And flashing stock ROMS overrides /recovery as well?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulinglionadi:
Check the videos in ky sig once

Just to be safe :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Erm, All ROMs are different so double check in the OP but you wont lose CWM if you switch between custom ROMs, Only a full firmware flash via ODIN will replace recovery. However there are many variations of CWM, All however do the same job :P

the instructions above are correct, But seem to be a more complicated way of doing it, It says to flash a safe ICS kernel, THEN flash GB ROM in ODIN ??? That makes no sense.

Anyway, What i would do is, Revert to GB via ODIN, Flash SpeedMod kernel (for GB not ICS), Load all the files on to your SD card, Boot into recovery, Do a full wipe, Along with cache and dalvik cache, Then install PA + Gapps + any other mods !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gador:
would it then be necessary at all to install the SpeedMod kernel? I included it above to make sure, the kernel is safe, but when the Gingerbread Stock ROM overrides the kernel, do I have to flash the kernel afterwards?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorius:
I suggest you stay stock and dont do any factory reset or data wipe.

Then READ and read a LOT of the topics here.

All these suggestions of flashing this and that comes with a risk. And it does not mean that if it works for others will work the same way for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Yes, thats why i thought the above steps where a bit confusing lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Does one need root before you are able to flash GB via PC Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gador:
I'd say no. I mean, as I understand it, you're flashing the device in download mode. There is no need for a root user.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gador:
So, against my inner "good angel", who told me to wait for a new official firmware release, I went ahead and flashed away.

It all worked and here is what I did:

Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.

Restarted and got lots of force close issues.

Flashed the Gingerbread Kernel SpeedMod from here ("speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar")

Rebooted, continued to have force close issues.

Rebooted into Recovery (which is now CWM, due to Kernel update)

Wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset

Rebooted into a fully working Gingerbread OS

Placed PA v0.4 and GApps onto my SD Card (from here)

Rebooted into CWM Recovery

Applied PA v0.4 from SD-Card

Applied GApps from SD-Card

Wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache and did a factory reset

Rebooted into a workind Paranoid Android OS.

Although the SpeedMod Kernel got overridden by PA, I still have CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Did you root first? and did you get the yellow triangle through flashing with PC Odin?

PS

I'm still dead scared about flashing a ROM after messing up my last gnote, never ever had a problem with my desire...it's shook my confidence tbh :-(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gador:
Well, the SpeedMod Kernel not only gave me CWM, but also root. According to PA Thread Install instructions, you would need to root your device prior to installing PA.

Yes, after flashing the SpeedMod Kernel, I got the yellow triangle, but since I bought this phone on eBay, without any bill to confirm warranty, I didn't really care about it.

I did not get a yellow triangle after flashing the official Stock ROM!

So I would hazzard to guess that this would not void warrany. (Also, in Download Mode, there was the little text saying: "Custom Binary: No" after flashing the Stock Gingerbread ROM)

So, if I were concerned about warrany, I would have a second look at Dr. Ketans guide, which describes the CWM+Root procedure without increasing the binary counter (at least I think so).

This way, you could get root and CWM after flashing to Stock Gingerbread.

I just had the problem, that Gingerbread wouldn't allow me to go into the Settings Tab to activate Debbuging, which you will need for Dr. Ketans method. (All processes were getting force closed)

If it is possible to wipe the caches and factory reset the phone with stock recovery, I think it would work. It should look like this then:

Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.

Restart to Recovery. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache and do a factory reset (You just flashed Gingerbread Stock, which should have given you a safer kernel)

Restart

Activate USB Debugging and untrusted sources.

Follow Dr. Ketans Guide on how to Root+ get CWM

Continue from step 8 above.

Since I consider myself a complete noob to the flashing business, someone should propably confirm, what I've just written. I wanted to be on the safe side and therefore flashed a known safe kernel again over Gingerbread, just to be sure (and to get root+CWM)

Hope that helped.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gf_gollum:
Well mine didn't :-(

I'm now cursing after my planned upgrade failed :-( I'm stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen wondering what to do

My sequence was

a) Unpack SGN, and it upgraded to ICS

b) read about all the dire warnings on ICS - and curse!

c) figure out how to flash speedmod and get root via the temp CWM - and I was pretty happy about this for a few days..

d) battery life seemed poor - so I wondered if the Abyss kernel would help

e) Went into Recovery - which appeared to be CWM (volume & on/off to navigate) and flashed the Abyss kernel and performed a wipe (assured that my SGN was safe with speedmod)

f) Now stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen - wondering what to do?

My recovery seems to be the touch screen version now - when I can get into it.

Suggestions please?

(My old nexus One wasn't this tricky!)

Wll I reflashed speedmod with Odin - and at least it looks like its booting!... anxious minutes later.... well I/m back. I don't know what i did wrong - but |I don't want to repeat that in a hurry.

I'll wait for CM9 to come out with an approved kernel before messing further!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete1612:
You need all share to stream stuff on your smart tv. I don't know if all share works with CM9 though. All share is included in the stock Rom, so maybe if you ask somebody he/she will extract it for you do you can try it on CM9
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebabish:
it works on stock

Dont know about CM9, but with the stock rom, you just need to make sure your TV and Phone are connected to the same wifi and then you play your file on your phone. A symbol at the top of the stock player shows a 'choose your player' dialogues and then you choose your TV. Its starts playing either instantly or with a prompt on your tv, depending on your tv setup. I have mine set to auto accept. Works with photos and videos. I have tried with 1080p movies and it works without a problem.

Tv is LG LM670T. 3d smart. its gorgeous :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
I think most recently manufactured tv hs dlna.

Just search your tv model on Internet then you should be able to find out.

If so, then download bubbleupnp app from play store. You can either set up another server on your computer, which I do, using plex server, which you can download for free for your pc. Or you can use your phone as the server as well.

You can control all the streaming from your pc to your tv or phone to tv right from the bubbleupnp app. Very cool. If you install the extra bubbleupnp server on your computer, you can even stream remotely. Very easy to set up and very cool. Real cool.

Recently I unlocked my bootloader on my AT&T htc one x

Did this void my warranty on my phone, because it seems to be having hardware issues, and I don't know if this voided my warranty.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] borets.boris:
Technically, yes. It voids your warranty.

Are you still within your 30 days?

I had a flickering pixel on my first HOX. So I backed everything up, relocked my bootloader, flashed the 1.85 RUU, factory reset to everything stock, made sure that there were no ROM or "hacking" files on the SD card (can't be too careful :D ), and brought it to the AT&T store.

They replaced my HOX without any problem! :cool:

I never mentioned to them that I unlocked and relocked my bootloader, and they never asked me either. As long as you focus on the hardware issue, you're good.

If you're part your 30 days, though, can't tell you what happens then. I don't know how thoroughly they look at a device with hardware issues, or how picky they are when you send them your device for warranty replacement. Wouldn't hurt to try though, IMO, if it's something that bothers you.

What's wrong with the hardware?

You may or may not have a hardware issue. Did you flash any ROMs after you unlocked your bootloader?

I would try to rule it out by either flashing one of the radios from the above collection (I would start with the ATT 1.85 radio), or by going back to stock completely if that doesn't help. If you're still having issues, then I would take the phone to the store in its "stock" and "relocked" condition.

What do I have to do to install a custom recovery and get root?

Where do I get the ASUS specific drivers for all of normal, recovery

and boot-loader modes, for adb, fastboot and 'disk drive'?

I can use ADB and fastboot SDK utilities from the Win7 console prompt.

the appropriate dll's and exe's are in windows path.

Are there special things to do like HTC's hboot unlock procedure? :confused:

I saw an apk file on ASUS's website for unlock, how does that work?

I found 1-click root script that is supposed to install an CWM

custom recovery and get root for you. Do I need to do anything prior

to running that to unlock the boot loader, so it will accept the fastboot

commands? Besides setting usb debug and any allowing any apk?

I don't know how to interact with the ASUS boot loader for

loading updates. For HTC I only needed a specially named zip

file on the root of the ext sd card and push buttons to start

the process. Is it similar? :confused: :fingers-crossed:

OK -- RTFM *sigh*

Can I flash cwm via fastboot w/o unlocking? I just want to root

to be able to run Titanium backup and Root Explorer tools.

Stock ROM is fine, only need cwm to get root.

The device was purchased a few days ago, (waiting for it

to arrive), so its probably .29 or .30 from factory.

I discussed the issues with ASUS and they kept reading

the text of the warning message about unlocking

instead telling me how / what to do to root.

If I understood correctly, after turning off 'fast boot'

and turning on 'USB debugging', I should be able to get the

stock boot loader into fastboot USB mode following the power on

volume button presses, then use fastboot flash recovery to

store the cwm recovery.img in the recovery partition.

I'm unsure what it is that unlock boot loader apk actually does ?

With HTC it was the hboot software version that determined

if fastboot commands were accepted. Perhaps when I actually

have the device, I'll understand better.

With that done, flash the root-signed.zip from cwm to root?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Cavsoldier already advised you to do your own research. All your questions have been answered, both for your first post and your second.

I'm not entirely sure why you seem so determined to flash CWM for root. They are completely unrelated. You only flash CWM when you unlock the bootloader. You do not have to unlock your bootloader to root the device. Just use this thread.

Also not sure why you're asking Asus how to root their product. That's a big no no. Companies don't like when you root their products. Even if the CSR knows how to root the device, they're not allowed to tell you. They'll just read from a script like they did to you.

Honestly, I'm not sure why I'm bothering to answer this. All the info you could possibly need is in the thread that was linked in the second post. All of it, for every question you've asked in both of your posts in this thread. Anything root or ROM related is in that thread. It links to several rooting methods, most of which do not require CWM, let alone an unlocked bootloader. So, basically, why haven't you clicked the link in the second post? Do it.

*sigh* sorry for being dumb

Alright -- I admit I couldn't find the search forum

button on the phone interface. After I looked via a

laptop (so I had the desktop view) it was where I

thought it was.

In any case, I found the utility script debugfs-root-v1.8

which uses all adb commands so it doesn't need to be able

to run fastboot boot loader commands. It looked like the

tricky stuff was being run on the tablet via adb shell

commands and adb control commands. If I understood

it, it leaves the tablet rooted without unlocking the boot

loader. So if I can live without nandroid backups, I can just

leave the OEM stock recovery alone.

Is there more to unrooting than removing superuser.apk

and restoring the stock su? :confused:

Would installing the current official firmware work

similar to HTC's RUU's and replace everything?

Helo ppl....I happened to miss my S2 about a week back after which I had lodged a police complaint with IMEI and relevant details and am waiting for information about the phone. Regarding the instances and settings with which the phone was lost gave me a few doubts which I post here. Any one who could throw some light would be helpful

1) When the phone was lost it was already in 2% battery level. So as soon as I lost it when i called back to my number obviously I got a "phone switched off" message.But not sure if it had switched off by itself or if it had been switched off. I believe there is no way of knowing. But if any one has a miraculous idea or sumthing.... do post

2) I had pattern lock active on the phone so I wonder if there is any layman work around for pattern lock just to be sure if my data has been compromised. And also, if the pattern lock is active , when the phone is connected via USB does it give direct access inspite of the pattern lock or how else does it work? If my phone does end up non-traceable i just want to rest assured that the data doesnt get out and to bypass the lock the thief just formats the phone, which i would say is much better for me.

3)I came across a very promising tracking software called Plan B on the google play store and tried installing it via my computer by logging in to my gamil ID. Once i went to the google play store I could see that my ID was still associated with Galaxy S2 even after a week. So does the last active device on the gmailID still show up even if the phone has been logged of my account/phone formatted or could i take it that the device has not been logged off my gmail ID/not formatted yet??

Thanks for ur replies....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you didn't install tracking software on your phone before you lost it, the police recovering it is your only chance. And at a rough guess, police probably recover 0.01% (1 in 10,000) of stolen mobile phones (in Australia at least)...you know the rest.
