[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @denny:
pretty sure cf-root v5.6 has the possible fix , 5.5 doesnt , so you have more than likely bricked your phone ( did you read any of the warnings before you started flashing...there are several of them) what is the situation with your phone now , whats showing on the screen? can you go into download mode , also there is an app for checking your emmc condition see if it passes that first http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1709054
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Flash stock Gingerbread firmware then factory reset from recovery

DO NOT perform factory reset on stock ICS kernel or CF-Root 5.5

----

If it is not yet superbricked phone won't stuck at flashing firmware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aziz981:
My phone is still able to go into stock recovery and downloading mode. And flashing via odin, it completes normally and reboots. But then bootloops. About you suggesting emmc phase check, will search abou it. Thanks for advice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aziz981:
I think i made that mistake before. I was on ICS kernel and cwm 5.5. And i did a factory reset. I never thought it would be a problem. Should have researched more. But please help me. Is there a workaround for this?

And flashing via odin completes normally.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
If flashing succeeds, then do not worry.

As I said flash stock gingerbread rom then factory reset from recovery.

And use only safe kernels on ICS.

Safe kernels:

CF-Root 5.6 Safe but do not use it to flash roms

Franco kernel R3 and above

SpeedMod kernel

Goku kernel

NoteCore Kernel

DAFUQ kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aziz981:
I did flash my regional stock kernel xxkk1 via odin and did factory reset too from stock recovery. But still bootloops. Do i have to flash any of the kernel above seperately? The question might seem stupid, but tell me if i got it right.. 1. Flash stock kernel 2. Factory reset 3. Flash one of the above said kernels
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Flash stock gingerbread rom with pc odin.

If it succeeds, boot into recovery (volume up + home key + power button)

then select factory reset.

then reboot.

----

The kernels I mentioned in the previous post are ICS kernels. Do not use those on gingernread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aziz981:
I already did as u said word to word. I flashed stock gb rom, succeeds in flashing, wiped factory data reset goes into bootloop. The galaxy note logo keeps appearing. Not once i flashed that twice. With same steps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
I am sorry. I really do not know what is wrong.

It does not sound like superbrick though.

Wait till experts help you with this problem, good luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aziz981:
I read this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633943

and have realized that i have bricked my phone.

Because i attempted a factory wipe on unsafe official kernel and recovery cwm 5.5.

It corrupted a drive and is hardbricked.

However is there any workaround? My recovery and downloading mode both are working.

Again summarizing

1. on official kernel rooted with cf-5.5

2. Attempted factory wipe from recovery - stuck and restarting stuck in bootloop

3. Flashed the official ics kernel again - no boot up, went to recovery wiped, still stuck at logo

4. Flashed an old gb official kernel, still stuck at logo.

Is there anything i can do? Or my SGN is as good as dead?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @denny:
There are threads on getting it working again with the use of pit files and partitioning etc but you may end up with hardly any storage left and might still not be usable.either take it in to Samsung service center or send it in and tell them you had an ota update and it never rebooted or say you did a factory reset as your phone was acting up..Don't tell them any thing about rooting or roms... it was on stock .you get me! They will change your mobo for free then mate
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aziz981:
Yes, thanks for the tip mate.

I was planning to do the same and that too today. Also the counter says no and binary as samsung official on the downloading mode. This means they can never know if it was rooted? Am i correct? Just this last question. Thanks for your replies. They were helpful.. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kopitalk:
No yellow triangle, counter is zero, custom binary says NO, can't boot up => there's no way to check if it was rooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aziz981:
Yup all true. Puts asides my worries... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Russc73:
I've done something similar to my note, despite flashing stock gb etc through odin (which goes through with no errors etc..) i'm still stuck at the galaxy note startup screen. If i try an ICS stock rom it'll go a little further to the samsung startup logo/jingle and then sits there.

is there nothing that can be done at this point?

my binary count is 4 now so i'm guessing i will have to pay samsung to get it resolved if it is indeed bricked, does anyone know who much this is likely to cost?

also, is there a way of determining for sure if my phone is bricked/caught he emmc bug?.

thanks all in advance, i spent hours and hours trying to get my phone back so i'm pretty deperate now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tangoone1:
that what happen to my note as well .... i did not read carefully and preform the full wipe and superbrick my note and use the same excuse saying OTA update to 4.0 and after it reboot i got my phone brick

samsung refuse to give me warranty on it as in my recovery screen i have a something like a "phone . . yellow exclamation . . monitor" and stated firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recover mode in kies & try again "
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markuzy:
You had a binary counter and the custom firmware yellow triangle it seems :-(. That explains it, it is an indicator that you flashed unofficial firmware to your phone and voided the warranty

Ur note is pretty much hosed. U had the exact same issue that i had. But samsung replaced my motherboard for free as counter was zero. Now they can replace the mobo.. and the associted cost with it.

Are u sure it is hardbricked, have u tried jtag usb jig to recover it back? It may not work..but worth a try

Hello guys

I´m a newbie in this new phone... i owned an HTC HERO that i was completely good on rooting, installing ROMS etc...

But i´ve got this phone now.

Did a lot of research, read a lot of things but i´m not sure. Hope you guys can help me.

My Xperia mini pro is on its stock(factory) rom:

android 4.0.4

baseband 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72

2.6.32.9 kernel

version 4.1.B.0.431

I´ve tried a lot of apps to root it(superoneclick, z4...) but none of them worked.

I´ve read that to root it, it should downgrade to another android version, root and them upgrade.

Is that correct? Or this device with this version of android and baseband can be rooted?

Thank you

Sergio.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
It can't be rooted as it is now.

Either unlock the bootloader and install a pre-rooted kernel, or downgrade to GB and root it following THIS tutorial.

Also, if you read it already, I don't really understand why you are still asking how to do it :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pator5:
ICS Firmware is impossible to root directly so far , you need to downgrade your phone to an older GB firmware if don't want to unlock bootloader here's the tutorial it's working 100%
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sergiopa:
Ok.. understanding more now...

which one is "safer" downgrading or custom kernel direct?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pator5:
It's up to you .... if you want to unlock bootloader than only downgrading method is possible DO NOT flash a kernel with locked bootloader !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
It's not bad if you try to install custom kernel with locked bootloader. The installation won't succeed as custom kernel has no official signature, so the installation won't be done.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sergiopa:
Hi again Guys,

I need an info here.

I´ll downgrade the mini pro to GB and root.

After that, should i flash the ICS via flashtool or can i update it from SUS/Pc Companion or OTA?

In which case from SUS/PCCompanion or OTA i will loose the root?

Or i should ignore it and update via Flashtool?

I did not understand that part of the guide(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695514)

try to make in a few words(correct me if i´m wrong):

Download GB firmware and flash using flashtool

Root via Doomlord

The part III(preparation to root 4.0.4) ok.

After this, this is my doubt. Should i Flash ICS from flashtool or update it by SUS/PCCompanion/OTA ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Flash GB.

Root it.

Run push_local.prop.cmd

Upgrade to ICS:

a) Using Flashtool -> Make sure you don't Wipe data. uncheck that box.

b) Using PC Companion / SUS -> Make sure you choose not to wipe data, too.

Run the other file which name I don't remember :D

That's all :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
ICS is not available via OTA.

Doesn't matter how you update, as long as you do the 01-....cmd file before updating.

If you use Flashtool, make sure to uncheck Wipe Data option.
[XPERIA X10 General] witchcraftz:
I have an X10 with the dreaded "Reboot until the battery is dead" problem.

It's really bad, it will overheat in seconds when I use an app and then start the reboot cycle.

It's basically a 30 second window of use every two to three hours! :(

I have changed everything on the phone: the battery, screen, etc but it seems like the motherboard or CPU is the problem and I don't have a spare one of those.

So my thought is to install the most stripped down but functional firmware out there, and underclock it to reduce heat and crashes.

I know this will be a temporary patch but I'm getting a new phone in a few months so I just need to stretch this out until then.

What is the best rom for my purpose?
[XPERIA X10 General] bodomfan:
Either mokees,feras ng or achotjans latest
[XPERIA X10 General] Devin-J:
any rom will do. use titanium backup and remove all bloatwares and useless system apps. i recommend unlocked bootloader with doom kernel 1113. try X10S rom. then underclock it to 600Hz max. Use crazy governer :)

I have an SPH-D710 (sprint) running EL29. I'd like to root it to remove the Sprint crapware. From what I've been searching, the preferred method is to use sfhub's 'auto root' package found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Is this an update to the auto-root package here or just for restoring a rooted device?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nicson8:
Use the first link with el29 and e4gtauto with el29+CWM recovery.Please do some research before flashing customs roms as this device can be bricked easily if not educated on flashing with the e4gt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Since you are on the stock EL29, as the previous poster mentioned, you can just use the Autoroot package in your first link to add Root. Then use it to add EL29+CWM-Rogue recovery.

But take some time to read through the OP and the rest of the posts.

Also please take some time to read through the stickies in the forums. If you don't you will most assuredly turn your phone into a doorstop.

Imaptience and haste will surely give you grief.

This phone is different than many others and the rooting and recovery partitions are setup a little different.

Relax, spend a few days or even weeks reading and then reading some more. You won't be sorry if you do.

Good luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
ICS manages ram usage better than GB. You won't need to use task killer or close any programs as it automatically allocates ram to the program in use. It will also keep data on ram a little longer and wont clear them out if not needed. An example of this is even though the Galaxy S3 (ATT) has 2GB or ram, sometimes you'll see usage at stock at 900mb etc.. of the 1.5gb usable. If you need more ram quickly then just hold the Home button and swipe out the programs you don't need.
