[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiliam80:
is it bricked or not yet? help needed

Hi

I have a problem. I am new in Android platform and so once I got my Samsung Note I decided to root the device.

I have followed one of the tutorials I have found online about downgrading to a rootable soft (from xxlrx to xxkj1) using odin3.

I have downloaded all unnecessary files and everything went fine till it rebooted. Than I had a picture of an android and emergency calls and a message something like "touch the android in order to begin". All the time there was this message popping out something about google framework but I couldnt do anything coz all the time it took me back to the android screen or because the google framework problem I had to force close.

I have decided to flash it again with a different odin version (1.85 and 1.87) and still the same. Tried to turn off some windows services and so on and so on.

Than I did something very stupid. In odin I have seen, that you can attach a .pit file and precisely a file like that was attached to the version of odin I have downloaded and so I have decided to try it with my .tar file and odin came back with a "fail" message. Since than once I reboot the phone it is stuck on the black screen with the name and model of the phone and once I try to flash it again with odin it is either "fail" or it is stuck on connecting to the device phase.

Is the phone bricked? if yes how can I unbrick it? is it fixable at all?

thank you for any help.

flash a stable cm10

dude nightlies arent stable versions. they are meant to be for developers and are prone to bugs like this

just flash a stable release

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

if u r still struck then follow this...

Download:

1. a safe kernel from here.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

(if u cant decide which one just download this(7.6mb) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3cnf2ax9apsebef)

2.download this rom..(873mb).... http://d-h.st/qNO

thats it..transfer the above files to your sd card. no more pc. yes u do not require a pc to flash kernel and rom.

1. boot into recovery(vol up+home+power)

2.flash the kernel(select install zip and choose kernel file)

2.reboot in recovery

3.do a full wipe

4.flash the rom.

5.wait and have patience phone will reboot and take some time for first time

and u r done. now u have jelly bean 4.1.2 + root + custom recovery

if something is strucking in ur mind feel free to ask..before trying above process

Hello, complete noob here, but at least cautious noob.

I bought used Note with Paranoid 2.17 installed (CyanogenMod version 10.0.0-RC0-n7000) with kernel version:

3.0.15-CM-g95e8925

utacka@Utacka #1

Wed Oct 3 14:27:20 CEST 2012

My question is - I've got info about GooManager update that "there is new ROM for me" called pa_n7000-2.57-20130110-155538-Utacka.zip

I have insane chip in my Note - is there anything I could go wrong in this procedure that I should worry about?

And my main reason why I'm considering update is next:

1. My mobile network signal gets lost for a second from time to time during phone call. I have to switch between 2G and 3G to regain signal.

2. My mobie data connectivity stops working when phone enters deep sleep. I have to disable and enable after waking up in order to get moble data.

I'm hoping that installing this update will solve out those problems - am I wrong?

Re: [FAQ] HELP THREAD - Noob Friendly

You can upstate cm10 kernel is 100% safe. Whether it will fix your problem I don't know. You may decide to flash a stock ROM. If so...do it from your safe cm kernel with mobile Odin with wipes. Then flash appropriate philz kernel to remain safe again.

I've got an advice to update to this: [ROM][4.1.2 JB]Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.1 | OTA Available

To be honest, I am into computers and things but with this Galaxy Note - I'm very confused at the moment and here's why:

1. I want to understand what I'm doing instead of going step by step like complete idiot.

2. First, I was thinking Paranoid is my custom ROM but...

3. I found out that I have CyanogenMod (which is also a custom ROM, right?)

4, And then all of sudden, GooManager tells me there is an update for my ROM called Utacka ?!?!? :cyclops:

Plus, all that insane chip is getting me very nervous. I feel like colorblind that needs to get into the trafic.

and therefore - I'm comepletely lost - maybe I should forget about 1. and do step by step :D

ad hoc support?

Question on ad hoc WEP support? Is there any TW based ROM that supports ad hoc WEP WiFi connection? At work, have no problems coz I can connect to our office router, at home I only have wired cable connection, I envy my wife being able to connect w/ her iPad to our home PC adhoc WiFi, PC running Windows xp sp3, unfortunately I can't load windows 7 on this PC because it isn't up to specs for it.

Have a china made tablet running cyanogen 10, the developer Christian Troy was incredible and he added ad hoc support to his port of cyanogen 10 and so am able to use ad hoc WiFi connection as well on it. Only my Galaxy Note n7000 is unable to connect to our home ad hoc WiFi connection. I prefer the TW based ROM than others, any help would be great, thanks!a

You can try download a light program for win7 called virtualrouter, this will make your laptop as a router but must have internet connection that is cable preferred to work properly.

I tried using as wireless medium like using a dongle to connect to the internet while the internal wireless is the virtual router, unfortunately this setup didnt work.

Hope this helps :)

I have an "insane chip" Galaxy Note. I recently upgraded my Paranoid by Utacka from 2.17 to 2.57 and that solved my problems with losing data conectivity when phone enters deep sleep. Also, my phone calls are fixed as well.

But, now, everytime I turn my phone on I'm getting message that "there is not enough space available to complete this action. Please clear some space and try again" (screenshot in attachment). However, everythings starts quite usual.

And also, I've noticed next thing when I enter storage - It says that there is 11.07GB of internal space, with ~2,4GB used for files and only 2.26 available (screenshot in attachment). Now, if I read right about EMMC brick bug - it relates in reducing internal memory? So is this it? And could I've done this with updating my phone? The only thing I did was to install update in next order:

1. factory wipe

2. install update

3. install gapps

4. wipe cache

5. reboot

If so, is there any method to solve it?

From my experience phone seems to be slightly less-responsive than before, but nothing serious.

From Google play download better battery stats. See what 'partial wake locks' show up after a few hours of use. That will show what is draining your battery so quick.

Do a complete wipe and then try the ROM again.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
It's not safe but they cannot tell you that your phone could potentially die if you do a factory reset lol

However if you do follow their methods and it does brick they will have to repair it or replace it.

You could flash a safe kernel which has Cwm, like speedmod for example do a full wipe then flash the stock kernel back which will remove root and cwm and put the phone back to as it was. However this is a longer procedure but the safest way.

It's up to you whether to take the risk or not
