[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chima2:
Hey all.

I find myself wondering two things, and thought it best to post it here. Been lurking for some time, love it here.

My first question deals with all the ROMs that are posted here, it's possible questions like this already exists in another thread so please direct me there as my searches didn't turn up anything. For those of us who aren't tech savvy to the point of knowing every abbreviation, technical detail and such, and even for the sake of practicality, is it a good idea to require that developers post a few lines about what their ROM actually does and what sets it apart?

Some ROMs do this, others don't. ParanoidAndroid is the first that comes to mind here at the Note section, where the developers explain in detail what it actually does. Other ROMs, I find, take it for granted that people will understand what this rom does or is about, and so we have to look around or maybe visit their home page or even try it out before discovering if it suits our purposes. Any rules or regulations on this sort of thing already? There are plenty of ROMs here, and instead of flashing every single one it seems appropriate to be offered a short explanation instead-

Secondly, I just bought a Valentinus (by Spigen) case, and want to do a review - where do I post that?

Have a great weekend.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
I agree with you !

I think that ROM Chefs should write a brief description on what makes their ROM differ from the rest, There are a lot of similar ROMs out there at the moment, Not that it bothers me as i like how the development is so big.

I usually read the threads and get peoples opinions before flashing, That gives me an insight on what to expect from that particular ROM, But as i just said, A little description wouldnt go a miss :)

Oh and as for your case review, That should be in the Accessories Section, Theres a thread all about cases in there, you may want to add it into that!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chima2:
Greets.

I agree. A few lines should be plenty, a brief description so we don't have to go through the 50+ pages and scour thru user problems, queries and other trivial matters. When we have so many roms, it is essential to get an overview. One master thread, sort of like the huge review list they have over at head-fi, detailing contents and function.

Thanks for the tip on the reviews.

Cheers.

A short description will do no harm to any

If the dev is busy, the dev should ask any of the community users sure there are a lot there to help,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
We had a similar discussion in one of the threads. If you go to the note wiki page you can find the list of kernels and roms available and their features. Thou this is in its early stage,after updating that list it will be a lot helpful
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] WolfHaley:
Hi, I'm new here :-)

I just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 (3 days ago) and enjoying it.

I do have two "problems":

1. Yesterday I sent a MMS to a friend, and he recieved it rightaway. Today, I tried to sent one today but I got an error sayin "Error in server response"?

I've tried to update from my carrier (Telia, Denmark), where my carrier sends a config I have to install. Reboot. and then nothing. I tried to type it in manually via APN settings.

2. I changed from iPhone 3g to this phone, and I'm liking it much more. BUT! I can't sync with iTunes. And I have alot of unchecked songs I DON'T want on my phone and playlists I do want. I've tried downloading some free apps that should be able to sync with iTunes. Easy Phone Tunes is close, but I can only sync one playlist? Easy Phone Sync looks perfect, but it's only for UK users apparently :/.

Thanks!

Regards,

Mike
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] WolfHaley:
please help me :-(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] WolfHaley:
MMS is fixed now. Don't know how though, but it works!

Still need to find an iTunes sync program/app :/?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Mrtacos:
I've personally never used it before, but my friend uses Double Twist Player and says it works well for an iTunes experience.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] WolfHaley:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

I've tried that program, and it says that my phone should be in Mass Storage Mode. BUT, I can't pick the songs I want. for example: I have a 90's hip hop smart-playlist, and I don't want ALL of the songs.. (I have unchecked quite a few in iTunes) but when I sync with DoubleTwist, it doesnt give me the option to uncheck :/
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] miketilly2:
I bought a used galaxy note and tried upgrading to ics but i keep getting this msg : your device does not support upgrading via kies.

The it ask me to confirm firmware version which i have using *#1234#. My phone shows correct version.

Android version 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.11 build gingerbread.ucla1.

Could someone pls help? my husband also bought a used note and his updated just fine. I don't.believe this phone is rooted.

Any advice would much appreciated. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
My advice is search the thread

Not trying to be rude but this issue is know and there is different ways of upgrading to ICS with out kies

:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] miketilly2:
Totally understand. Guess Im scared of bricking my phone lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
Just make sure you read tons before flashing

It should be pretty simple after you have an idea of what's going on.

Read the stickies they will help

And flashing the Official ICS thru Odin/Kies shouldnt brick or harm your phone at all :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
It does not matter if your phone is rooted or not. Start up Samsung Kies. Connect your phone. Go to the Tools tab. Select "Firmware upgrade and Initialization". Fill in the info and you should force the update. Model is SGHI717. No hyphen. And use caps for model and SN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] miketilly2:
I tried that and it said SGH -I717 does not support initializing. Now what?

It say my current firmware is PD:LA1 / PHONE:LE2 / CSC :LA1 (ATT )

Maybe update not availble yet for that??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
Update thru Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] miketilly2:
I will. I am curious though as to why kies is saying that. Oh and thanks.

Ill get my husband to do it, he's good at stuff like that. Plus if he messes up i can take his note as compensation :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
Its not that hard just a couple files you have to download and you'll be set..

Google Odin for ATT Note and

Download this .zip file found here

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162779447/3bb6230/I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_ATT.zip.html

(its stock official ICS ) extract the .zip and put the .tar file inside in the PDA slot

And hit start

Make sure you put your phone in download mode first

(Holding volume down and power when powering up)

You should be set

I think there is a video on the stickies on how to do it as well if you get lost or confused
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Some mentioned there was an ATT software update by OTA on some phones. Maybe this was an update for kies compatability on older Note handsets. Have you looked there first? Sorry if I could not help more.

Does this PDA include Modem too? Just out of curiosity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zancro:
As JayRokk suggested...

Make sure your device is in download mode

. If not, that would account for the error message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
It should

But there is always a flashable .zip if it doesn't
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] miketilly2:
My husband said that it is in download mode. I'm just gonna update via odin. I give up on lies.

But if I ever do figure it out I'll post for others. I appreciate everyone's advice and input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
No problem. Report back and let us know how it went :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Model is sierra golf hotel india seven one seven. All caps and no spaces. Kies probably didn't recognize the model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ImYourMacDaddy:
FYI I guess there are different model numbers, or at least different ways the model number must be entered. My model # is SGH-I717...and when updating this way via Kies, I had to enter the dash. It wouldn't take it without the dash. Also, I've seen others report the model # they used was ATTI717.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigXR:
I know old thread

and that you might have fixed it already but...

The quickest fix for me was to install ATT's original Baseband back its official I717UCLA1. Your note might have a different/custom one installed. I ran into the same exact issue today on my girlfriends Note (forgot I had a tmobile radio loaded for her). I would assume that CWM is loaded on the device also. If thats the case, search XDA for ATTNOTEUCLARADIO.zip (approx 22.1mb file) and copy to sd or internal storage on device. Boot into recovery via vol up + vol down + power. choose install via .zip. point to file and run. once completed, reboot.

now connect note to computer and run Kies. It will now tell you update is available.

Hope this helps anyone else who stumbles across this post via google search. I had to re-download files as we weren't home when I had did this where I have the files backup to to storage drive. Its safe and fast.

(Update) This will remove root access, remove CWM recovery and install ATT's bloatware crap. The cool factor: It DOES keep all your data and apps untouched except Superuser, which it removes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] liljoka166:
Put it in download mode. Start kies and once it shows your phone as connected click emergency firmware upgrade have your s/n ready make sure you have 3 gigs of space on your pc and a internet connection. It will.restore to official ics for the i717. WARNING........ THIS WILL ERASE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE HAND. Stock ics sucks if i was you id root and install a custom ics. Example i am using the new blackstar Rom. Its the best Rom for ics in my eyes..goodluck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Finagle69:
I just exchanged my phone with AT&t today. Before doing so, I brought it completely back to stock from CM9.

Odin'd stock GB rom.

Odin'd stock radio (1).

Odin'd CWM.

Flashed flash counter reset via CWM.

After doing that, Kies let the phone update to official ICS. But only after doing all of that. At some point in there might be your problem.

Once I got the new phone home, I IMMEDIATELY rooted and restored to my CM9 backup. Stock anything is blegh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] priyankchouksey:
Solved

I was also getting the message 'SGH-I717' does not allow initializing.

Going throught the post, I Booted the device with Vol-Up + Vol Dwn + Power (I kept the USB cable connected) and when the Samsung Logo first appeared released all the keys.

Once in the menu I selected last option click on Ok (the second touch button) then selected first option to reboot.

The phone booted normally and connect to Kies it asked for update. The update is downloading right now.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyGalaxy:
I know this question has been asked hundreds of times in many different ways.....BUT.......

Im looking fr a backup app that backup EVERYTHING!!

Like for in this example......

1. I have everything the way i like it on my phone; the apps, the widgets and their placement, sms etc...

2. I find another cool custom ROM i want and will need to do a FULL WIPE for it to work SUPER-PROPERLY.

3. I backup my apps and sms.

4. I wipe and install the new ROM.

5. I HATE THE NEW ROM.

6. I do a full wipe back to the original ROM i had and liked.

7. I now have to install all my apps and sms again form a backup app and set up my homescreens with widgets etc.

Its THAT thats annoying! Cant a backup app save my widgets and their placements?

I've used Titanium backup and MyBack-up pro, but they dont seem to do it!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Backup with CWM, restore whenever. Done.

Or am I missing something?!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyGalaxy:
Not really 'missing' anything.....i knew that option was there, and HAVE tried it, but it creates a MASSIVE set of files for its backup!

Like nearly 5GB!!! I dont have that much on my phone!! Why would it do this??

I also noticed that it was backing up files on my internal SD card (the names of some of my videos kept appearing under the 'backing up' part)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There is no way you can flash a new rom and restore everything as it was if you NEEDED to wipe. There is no app that does this.

You don't really need to wipe between different Samsung based roms though. Only aosp really
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
5 GB? That's a big backup. Mine are about 1.3 GB. How many apps are you running, and what ROM?

I use CWM Manager, it gives you the option to to backup to either internal or external SD. Haven't booted into recovery via the 3-button method for ages, but isn't that option there too?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Krepz:
So I've finally decided to root my S3 and run CM9, as from what I hear it's very stable now. Only problem is, I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle!

I've been following the SGS3 full update guide on the cyanogenmod wiki.

I powered off the handset, booted into download mode, opened zadig.exe in the drivers folder of the heimdall suite, selected options>list all devices, selected "Gadget Serial", clicked "Replace Driver". A message popped up saying it was successful. The guide simply says to power off the device and reboot into download mode again. However, after this I could not power off the device. The power button wasn't working and I got no response from pressing any of the buttons on the device. Eventually I decided to open it up and remove the battery and then try to boot into download mode again.

Now, it doesn't boot into download mode at all. Every time I hold the volume down and home buttons, I then connect the micro USB and nothing happens at all - it just begins charging. The phone can boot normally and appears to be functional apart from this, but this is stopping me from being able to root. Anyone know what could be the problem?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Krepz:
Just tried factory reset and still no dice.

Has anyone come up against this before?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
And, just to be sure, you are holding down the power button when you press volume down & home on a powered off GS III, right? Since you say you're rooted, you can boot into download mode from the phone itself:

Grab https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

Run su reboot download
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Krepz:
Yup, I was. Seems that after enabling USB debugging after factory reset, the problem has resolved itself. Thanks for your help anyway :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Scott:
This is a Stock Rooted and De-Odexed ROM based on the official Asus IML74K.US.9.4.3.30 release.

You MUST be on the current IML74K.US.9.4.3.30 Firmware. You cannot flash this over AOKP / CM9 or any other ROM that does not use the IML74K.US.9.4.3.30 kernel!

It uses Super SU and has no tweaks or mods. Its just as Asus would have made it if they were to make a Rooted and De-odexed ROM!

Its great for those that may want to make there own ROM of just have a ROM to fall back on.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] 10010110:

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Scott:
ro.build.display.id=IML74K.US_epad-9.4.3.30-20120604

Thats the last Asus has. I think the IML74K is throwing you off making you think of a different tablet? Not sure what the builds are on the other Tabs. Its quite possible that build number can be used on the TF101. Not sure though.

I shortened the title and excluded the "_epad" (kinda a given, lol) and took off the date stamp because only so much will fit in the thread title.

Hope that clarifies it a bit for you.

EDIT: Just found the latest build prop for the TF101 and it indeed is similiar

ro.build.display.id=IML74K.US_epad-9.4.2.21-20120323

So it does look like the use the IML74K build number on the 101 as well. Not sure of the significance of the IMLxxxx?

Its a stock ROM.. I will be posting my "real" ROM later on tonight :cool:

I just put this out for those that, as posted in the OP, may want to do there own dev work or just have a quick and Easy stock de-odex ROM to flash and maintain 100% Asus software.

But just to clarify, I am talking about CleanROM, and not this stock rooted ROM.

This stock rooted ROM is just that. A complete 100% stock ROM that is pre roooted and de-odexed. A great ROM if you want to build your own!
