Well, keep an eye on the 3g drop. Remember, it's a leaked version from Acer.

Was hoping we would see a better version by now, but here's to hoping! ;)

Phone info:

WT19i || rooted || unlocked bootloader || cwm

android 2.3.4

stock rom

x kernel

build 4.0.2.A.0.58

downloaded latest nightly CM from here: http://www.get.cm/?device=coconut&type=nightly

confused which kernel to download from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24553704&postcount=75

I'm a bit confused. Can you please help me?

Please correct me if this is wrong...

Steps I'm about to take:

Flash rage kernel -> then flash cm7. (or do i need to reflash stock kernel first?)

Questions:

- Can I flash kernel and rom from CWM?

- Will I lose my root/cwm when I do the steps?

- If I accidentally flash a kernel that is incompatible with the rom what would happen?

- Any list of kernels that works well with CM7?

Thanks for helpers. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nethoinkz:
Help. :) I'm having a hard time installing rage kernel 2.9 for FXP, after I flash it. It won't boot and it won't enter recovery mode. Because of that, I can't install the cm7.2 rom. For now I went back to X kernel. x______X Help please?

Or do I install the rom first before the kernel? Help pleaseee...

Edit: Nvm, fixed it. Found the solution on the original Rage kernel thread

- "If you used KRsH Kernel or X kernel before you need to restore /system/lib/modules/ with stock files. Or just simply flash this: signed-mango_stock_modules.zip (2.3.4) or this ics_wifi_modules-signed.zip (4.0.4) via recovery."
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
- Kernel can only be installed via fastboot, read forum or my tutorial for more info. For better battery life, use Rage Kernel 2.7 from that topic. ROM needs to be installed via Recovery.

- Root and CWM are included in the kernel already, no need to worry about that.

- Bootloop.

- That Rage Kernel and the original kernel provided with the ROM(in .zip file).

These modules are only related to WiFi.

First install the kernel, else you cannot install the ROM in Recovery.

Make sure your bootloader is unlocked, then install the kernel via fastboot, then enter Recovery(already in kernel, no need to install) and install the ROM.

Hello all,

I successfully flashed the official ICS update and tried to root via Odin. Now my Note wont boot up past the "Samsung" boot screen. Apparently, I flashed a kernel meant for a Gingerbread build. Is there an ICS root kernel yet? If not, how do I reset what Ive done? Thanks :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
you might have to re-flash...

what most and I have found works....is odin the touch cwm....then flash the super user for root...

I did this and it worked great.

Bottomline you may have re-flash the Offic ICS then perform the above, btw the links you will need are locted in "My Links" in my signature (red) go to the GNote page and look for the touch CWM then put the super user flash zip file and flash that...you will have root on your Offic ICS...kk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Texas_T-Bolt:
Can I get your link for the super user and CWM touch a buddy of mine want his root back on his note and can u brake it down in instructions on how to do this method?

From CWM OP:

Download the odin "file">>>>2012-04-14 (odin) off the above link and the "odin program" see attached on this post.

Take the attached odin program on this post of mine...put in a folder...upzip and put this (odin file that is on the link above in the same folder)

How to install:

Odin (this will increase the flash counter)

- put your phone into download mode >>>>>>hold the volume down and power button....then once you get the download info volume up like it says...you will see the green android...you are in download mode, plug in your phone open odin program

- in odin program choose pda, and select the .tar.md5 file (that you put in the odin folder) and flash/ hit start button....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1581185

Then once you have CWM, download this file super user from above and put on your phones internal sd and flash it, to get into CWM, but first put file on the phone inter sd....power off phone...completely.

Hold the volume buttons and power buttons all at the same time....when you see the samsung logo let go of the power button only...keeping both volumes button down...then you will see blue cmw...just go to the intern sd find your super user file flash it...since this touch cwm you can touch the sceen and use the soft keys on the phone, ...the back button...after flash, just reboot..and you have root.

Root question Follow-up

bigjoe2675,

Thanks for all your help. After I failed to flash back to Gengerbread, I brought it back to AT&T and had it exchanged for a new phone.I have since upgraded to ICS and everything is running fine.

I would like to root it "correctly" this time and am trying to figure out where I should pick up from your instructions. Should I simple flash the .tar.md5 file and and use superflash? I guess Im confused as to what superflash does.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
I have those listed also in the GNote super page...see green arrow on that page

[Nokia Lumia 800] Chuphy:
Hello,

I have a question about product codes:

I have a Lumia 800 phone, which originally had the product code 059M3C1 (TIM IT).

I have downloaded with DPM the firmware "Nokia 800 RM-801 Country Variant RO Black V3" with product code 059P1Z4.

I have flashed with NCS Recovery (this is how: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457341) but now, in NCS i get 2 values for the product code, as shown in the attached screenshot.

I don't know why the "Basic product code" was changed to 059J2N6. I coudn't find this version in DPM.

Can somebody plese tell me why this 2 product codes appear in NCS? How can i change the product code correctly to 059P1Z4?

Thank you.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
May be normal, my phone has two different product codes listed.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bkotyik:
Have You ever used Cab-Sender method to update your phone? Maybe It has changed It.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
Yes, but the phone has since been flashed with it's original firmware again using NCS.

I can also not find any information on my basic product code. I do not know what the basic product code even does, as the regular one is what is used for update eligibility, etc. The fact that the two are similar but not the same makes me think it should be this way (at least in my case).

Removed PIC. See below.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bkotyik:
No idea. I tried to check mine, but NCS can't read my product code from my phone. Maybe because I'm using Windows 8 Customer Preview. (There are any other wierd things as well in NCS. ) But I Googled your Product Code, and hasn't found anything about It! There is no region connected to that, but some of other users has the same case, that you have. Does It affect anything?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
The regular product coded that is listed (059N599) is as it should be for Canadian Telus cyan model. Never had any troubles updating via Zune, etc. My father has the same phone but US country variant model, so I will connect his to the computer when he gets home and see if it is the same case.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
Well here is a comparison. My dad's phone on the right has never had the firmware re-flashed, and has only been updated through Zune. So apparently it is normal for the product codes to be different.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] locoboi187:
Now I understand that there have been quite a few threads on insurances companies but I want to know what you guys went for and why.

SquareTrade covers everything except lost and stolen but i have seen exceptional reviews with them

-They require you to buy their insurance within 30days

-$69 for 1 year (Coverage up to $750)

-$99 deductible

Ensquared does cover lost and stolen and I have seen decent reviews with them.

-They require you to buy their insurance within 90days

-Claims all phones are replaced NEW

-$58.99 for 1 year (Coverage up to $1000)

-Max of $75 deductible on any smartphone

I've read much on SquareTrade but i havent found much on Ensquared in terms of reviews. If anyone does have experience with Ensquared that would be nice. Insurance that covers lost and stolen is golden.

Now there are other companies too such as Negri and Asurion. I've read Negri is unreliable with their umbrella insurance company. Asurion is okay but doesnt cover every carrier.

Input would be great. Remember, we all just want to secure our investments :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iastonish:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
So have I, on many many electronic devices.... but their rates are just ridiculous now! Here's an email dated 7.7.07 (odd....)

10% of the purchase price? That would have been $15 for me buying this phone.... What about big expenses? Here's one from 11.23.07:

Yes, I did buy my first unlocked, international Windows Mobile phone for $750 back in the day, it was F-ing nuts.... okay, okay, so times change, let's see something newer and more relevant then! On 7.21.10, I bought my girlfriend a warranty for her Captivate, here's the breakdown:

That's on par with today's plans, and they have nearly doubled the purchase price and has doubled the deductible! There's got to be a better solution here, especially when we all baby the crap out of these phones and only have an accident every 5-6 warranties or something....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scoot05redss:
I haven't had any experience with those two companies, but might I suggest you look into Best Buy? Within the initial 30 days you can add it. Its $9.99 a month, they don't cover lost or stolen, but don't have a deductible. I've used them on my Original Galaxy S II, when the screen broke they shipped it off and then gave me the cash value. I used the in store cash value to get the Skyrocket. Anyway, just an idea!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] locoboi187:
I think I'm gonna go with ensquared lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] circuit.007:
I think I am too. I've never broken a phone before but after buying this off contract I don't want to risk it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
You can get best buy insurance regardless of where you buy it from
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] locoboi187:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] locoboi187:
More input please :)!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wavrunrx:
lets do a little math for

best-buy insurance vs squaretrade:

assuming you have *1* accident in 2 years:

-----------------------------------

best buy black tie

$240 for 2yr

1 break = $0 deductible

2 year total (including 1 replacement phone) = $240

--------------------------

square trade

125 for 2 yr

1 break = $99 deductible

2 year total (including 1 replacement phone) = $224

------------------------------

in the end, squaretrade is cheaper, but should only be used by those who take good care of their devices.

if you think you will probably have at least 2 or more breaks, best-buy black tie insurance would be the cheapest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
yes, best buy lets you break your phone every two weeks. i'm not 100% they wont give you a new phone and also not 100% sure that they take just any phone regardless of where you bought it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eltrutgnik:
I just got my s3 and i haven't decided what insurance to go with. But now that you put like that. The best buy black tie is actually cheaper. The sales rep said if i paid up front for two years it would be 160 or 170 something. You also get the buy back program they offer included for free.

I guess I'll get the black tie
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wavrunrx:
can you buy black tie even if you didnt buy the phone from BB ?

**edit

the best buy buyback program would net you a $140 GIFT CARD to best buy after 2 years for the SGS3.

thats a rip off.

check it here:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Misc/Buy-Back-Program/pcmcat230000050010.c?id=pcmcat230000050010

**edit 2

buyback program is dead:

"This program is no longer accepting new customers. However, all existing Buy Back plans are still valid."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eltrutgnik:
I don't really expect to get much money for this phone in 2 years. Look how much the s2 is going in the market right now, almost 250ish? and thats only one year, imagine how much thats going to be in another year. Android phones don't maintain their market value.

The reason i would choose the black tie is because there is no deductible, I've had to take my phones at least twice for repair and both times ive gotten new ones. At least for me its worth it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] locoboi187:
How about Ensquared guys? Not a bad option either really.

Is this the latest firmware for unbranded phones in UK via official channels ?

Also. Are the stock roms on here a massive improvement or are they buggy?
