Squaretrade !

a 2 year extended warranty for android phones costs ~ $124 and a $99 deductible.

(remember every tuesday they offer 20% off coupons..... check slickdeals.net)

that works out to about $5.16 a month w/o coupon

with AT&T's insurance, you are paying $7 a month, AND a $200 deductible.

both insurances cover the Accidental & Liquid damage.

i think the winner is clear. (no i don't work for squaretrade)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jnicks510:
Damn, $200? I remember when I had vzw (3 years ago) that my insurance was I think $8 and I had no deductible to replace my BlackBerry. It bricked 3 days in a row out of the random.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] androidaddict23:
That its correct

whats the story behind this one ? :crying:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mikeschevelle:
left it on top of the car and drove off, got ran over by a dump truck, had insurance, still sucked though :(

I mean I just dropped it from 2 feet onto carpet, not sure what happened JK
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zenon82:
Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I dropped it on a wooden surface. So I would say it was a semi-hard drop. Still I've never broken a screen before and I've had a phone since 1998 including 4 smart phones. Based on other postings I think this phone is more fragile than others.

However I could accept that - but I think it's stupid of Samsung to create a phone where you can only replace a cheap and fragile part by replacing a much more expensive part. That makes no sense at all!

I'm in Denmark and the concept of insurance for something like this is not widespread... I think a few carriers offer it.

Given it's not that big an area and it doesn't affect the camera I think I will leave it as is for now. Not because I don't want to pay for the repair but honestly I'm afraid I could break the screen quickly again. So in that case I would rather safe the repair for when it's really broken! Also, maybe "glass only" type of repairs will become available in repair shops if this turns out to be a more common problem with the S3.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] QWIKSTRIKE:
Rofl is all that I can say here about that dump truck. What about these don't for a minute think that they cost as much as they are trying to sell them for. Remember that these phones really cost between 65-100 for the whole phone

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mikeschevelle:
You can get just the insurance for 4.99

it breaks down like this

Asurion - 4.99

Lifetime warranty 3.99

I took mine off. Had insurance since 2006, probably only filed for a claim 3 or 4 times. From $50 deductible back then to a $200 now is ridiculous. I'm going with a 3rd party insurance company.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] drbveb88:

Ensquared is $58.99 for 1 year of coverage and they cover everything including spills, drops, loss and theft. Their deductible is $75.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rault18:
Yours I'm sure Includes warranty for parts and repairs . There are two Asurion plans tmobile employees don't tell u that cause they want to sell the most expensive one . The phone is covered by Samsung for the first year and I can send it back if there is any button or screen issues that qualify as part of the warranty ergo making this extra 3 bucks worthless for me
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mikeschevelle:
Except that it costs $20 to send it in w/o it versus $5 with it. Send in a phone more than once or twice and that $20 per really ads up

I have an idea of what might be failing but need to check it. Thanks again...

I have already modified the code. If the issue is what I am thinking, then it should be working now...report back..regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Dr. Narinder:
download is ok now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Akiainavas:
So it's basically one tool for all directly rootable GB kernels ? No more checking the kernel and downloading proper package ? Not that it was such a difficult thing, but improvements like that are amazing :) Next time i need to root, im gonna definitely use this stuff.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
Great, just let me know how it went. Dropbox has been having issues lately...Thanks for using the tool...:good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
Actually, it supports all Android versions. Direct rootable are done directly with Doomlord's tool, but all the other versions needs the user to follow instructions. Take into consideration that GB 2.3.6 needs to be downgraded first. But the downgrade firmware and the correct cf kernel are all downloaded by the script, even Odin is included...you just need to press start and follow commands, the rest in done in here.

For ICS, the files needed are downloaded and sent to your sdcard / external_sd. The phone booted in stock recovery and from there on, you have to flash the files....not 100% but don't have to look for the files and the correct thread. All the instructions are in the screen...

Hope you can test it. Thanks for the support....:good:

Hello,

Can I used this method on stock LPY kernel. In warning thread the said that you don't flash anything on stock LPY kernel.

In recovery you must must flash cwm.zip and busybox. When I do that is there a change that I hard brick my phone??

EDIT: Uploading the fix right now. Enjoy
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] este548:
Hi,

Thanks for the update. This is some additional feedback for you, as I am following your script. When firmware was downloaded, SGN booted into download mode but when I unplugged it (according to point 2.), ODIN didn't start, I eventually hit a button and I ended up with congrats ... I am rooted ;) .

You should probably make a note after point 2. - if ODIN didn't start, run it manually and follow points up to 9.

Then the last step, firstly it was not sure, whether the zImage is already in the SD card, or where it was downloaded. Then flashing new kernel is where I stuck at the moment, as I don't do that stuff as often as you. Needed to find how to get to CWM recovery ;), what combination of buttons, but then I didn't find inside the CWM and option to flash kernel, as zImage is not zip file, so would appreciate your help here. Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
Thanks again for the feedback. To get to to CWM you have to press power + volume up + home. Or just enable usb debugging, open a cmd as admin in the PC and type: adb reboot recovery...DO NOT FLASH THE KERNEL IN RECOVERY

to flash the kernel, you need to go to the CWM manager app in the app drawer, then choose to flash kernel there and find where the zImage file is. The best thing to do is to create a folder in the external_sd named firmaware. Hope that helps and will update what u suggested....:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] beefcake5799:
still no joy for me, going to try on laptop, only thing i can think of is i doesnt like 64 bit windows
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] este548:
Excellent, I am rooted now. Just one more question, is it safe to flash firmware with CWM, or is it better (safer with ODIN)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
That is weird. I have a laptop with 64 bit windows. Maybe you can try to install the commands and .dll's in the files folder directly in the c:\windows folder manually. That is where it should be installed. It worked for me and some other that have tried it so far. The files you need are:

adb.exe

adbwinapi.dll

adbwinusbapi.dll

wget.exe

fastboot.exe

md5sum.exe

Try installing that files and then rerun the script....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
Is safe to wipe in Gingerbread. Never do a full wipe or wipe anything in an ICS kernel. If you want to flash stock firmware you can do it safely with Odin PC or Mobile Odin, but a custom rom must always be flashed from CWM. Remember you have the CWM Manager APP.

Glad you made it. Thanks again for the support...:victory:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] beefcake5799:
ill try it tomorrow and let you know

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] este548:
Hi,

so I guess, that after downgrading to 2.3.5 and rooting I could go back to 2.3.6 (no interest in 4.0.3). Could you advice me please, whether I can use this ROM: N7000XXLA6---------2.3.6-------2012 February-------N7000OXXLA1-------------Slovakia, which is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 post #4 through mobile ODIN pro (flashing firmware)? I do not see whether it is wipe or non wipe ... Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
Ok, yes always flash the firmware with mobile Odin and choose to keep CF KERNEL, just to keep the rooted phone. Then, look for a CF-KERNEL for your updated firmware and flash it also with mobile odin or CWM manager.

Just to know if the firmware is wipe or non wipe, download it and check if in the folder (extracted) is a file data.img....if there is then is wipe, if not is non wipe. hope it helps....:good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] este548:
OK, just to clarify - the ROM file is just one single N7000XXLA6_N7000OXXLA1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5 - that would mean as you say a non wipe firmware. If I use Mobile ODIN Pro, I should keep EverRoot I guess.

When I use CWM, I should keep CF-Root Kernel. But you say I should look for CF-Kernel for my updated firmware, so you say the one I get now with 2.3.5 is not going to work, if so could you point me where to find some? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
What I actually was trying to say is that extract that .tar file to see if inside is a data.img file....and yep in CWM manager choose to keep CF-KERNEL. The actual kernel is not that is won´t work, but is better to have a matching kernel because probably will work more efficiently....:laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] este548:
Ok, I see, thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] este548:
Hi, finally it wasnt that easy :p, you can see on the enclosed image - there are three ROMs 2.3.6 with individual files within tar package and no data.img inside - any clue what Slovakian might be?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
hahahaha...you can also flash the LB1 (spain or Poland - XXLB1) wich is non wipe....well, now are having practice.....:p Any stock firmware is ok for your phone....just choose one u like!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] este548:
OK :) practice is everything ... ;), thanks for advice.

Just plug in the device, and the script will run to root the ICS device ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
No, unfortunately is not that simple :(, but it will guide you through the whole process. It will download the custom kernel you choose, boot the phone in download mode and open Odin PC. You will have just to choose PDA , finde the file and press start. Hope it helps.

Take into consideration that this only for stock devices. :victory:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antique_sonic:
From the "moderator"........ REDACTED......

Sorry....... I think less skilled member will get confused and make a mess of their phone

When discussing these procedure please adhere to the safer methods..... it will help the community more

......... thanks ~~~ oka1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
You know this is dangerous method then what is need to mention this in detail here?

Anyway there are safer method available to root from recovery, just have a look to my signature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
OK, this is about rooting. this is just the same procedure the community have been using for a while. Now, as Dr. Ketan tells you a new method have been proposed. So, I will look into it to update the script if possible. Anyway, rooting is always dangerous and not recommended to noobs that do not understand what they are doing. You are not obliged to use the script. Again, rooting involves knowledge of what involves in case you get stuck.

The procedure here it is very clear and so is the script. Maybe next time a PM would be just fine if you think that this thread is not right instead of trolling.

P.S.: This is not a discussion, this is my thread and my tool, using others procedures and tools (as stated in the OP.) Mabye, you should read a bit more and find that the new safer procedure has been discussed this weekend for the first time, and I won´t risk to update the script with a process that was not yet sure to be safe (remeber the temp CMW touch was the safest way to root ICS a few months ago). CWM 6.0 is not yet proven to be safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
Updated!!

Hey guys, I took quite a while to update this tool, but finally I did the job. Now I have changed the ICS rooting method for flashing the signed .zip Philz kernel. The rest is still the same...ENJOY!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
Update 2!!

Ok, this is a new update. Now you can choose to root flashing a safe kernel, SuperSU or SU + Busybox. Unroot is not longer supported....Hope it helps!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glevitan:
