Hello everyone.

My phone has been having some trouble lately and I'm trying to restore everything to as is for servicing. I found a thread with the stock Rogers Odin files, but the phone won't connect via USB(One of the problems) and the links are dead. Is there a CWM or another method to putting the stock firmware onto my phone? Odin does not work and neither does my SD card.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
USB won't connect - problem with the cable? Or problem with drivers?

And can you clarify what you mean when you say your SD card does not work either?

Will try to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crushdancexz:
Hi. thanks.

The SD card is the reason why I'm sending the phone back. Two days ago it suddenly just said "SD card blank or unsupported". I tried putting it in my PC and still can't even format it. 16GB SD card. All my photo`s and files gone :S The USB cable thing I finally got working by buying a new cable, I think the other one may have been faulty. So yeah, ODIN now shows the phone connected, but I don`t have the right firmware to revert it too so that Rogers doesn`t deny me service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Get the firmware for an Odin gingerbread install here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1657262

You also can connect to kies and install the ics ROM.

You can install any custom ROM to get your phone straightened out and then install a Rogers ROM. And any custom ROM will work with Rogers.

Also if your cable was faulty, and your card was faulty, do you really need to send your phone back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crushdancexz:
Hey, thanks. I want to send it back because I`d rather just get a replacement than deal with this one. The SD card dying out of nowhere has really dazed me because that has never happened to me before and I just took the phone for granted as is. Besides that way I can get a new card too, otherwise I have no storage. Too many faulty things came in the box, I`m weary of the phone.

I`ll try it out when I get home. Thanks again.

Edit: In the link you posted, which file should I download? And as for Odin. Each ROM is it's own installer right? There's no Odin program to install on my PC?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
You don't install Odin on your PC. But you do run it on your pc. You will need Odin3 v1.85. You will need all files from that link and you place them respectively in the blanks on Odin.

The only ROMs that have their own installer are the Odin 1 clicks. And they are only for leaks and not official versions.

Might be easier for you to install Samsung Kies on your PC and install the ICS ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
IMO, the odin process is pretty easy.

Just plug each file into the proper slot, they are listed in order in the post.

Only extra step - the actual ROM file (largest file) you need to unzip.

It's a one step process, and COMPLETELY reverts you back to stock. Stock recovery, no root etc.

Only extra step now, is that if you are returning it, you need to reset the flash counter.

.....Now onto business...

Here's a quick tutorial given to me by camblue .. I rewrote some of it for more people to understand...

1. Open up (right click and chose open archive) on your current systemui.apk (found in system/app) with 7 zip

2. And change out the images in the drawable-hdpi (being sure of course to make sure they match titles and relative size if ONLY making your own).

3. Then I go to drawable-sw600dp-hdpi and swap out those images and back out of systemui.

4. Then place your modded systemui.apk in my provided NavBarTheme.zip package in the /system/app folder

5. Copy the NavBarTheme.zip to your NeXus 7 and flash in CWM because sometimes the changes do not take hold when you just use root explorer and swap out the old with the new systemui.

6. After the Android Upgrading Screen LOOK AND BE AMAZED :highfive: lol

"Galaxy Ace and Gio become the first ARMv6 smartphones to get CM10 ports

9 hours ago	by Chip 28 comments

Manufacturers are still taking their time with the official Jelly Bean updates, but the guys over at XDA-developers have been quite busy porting the latest Android distribution to various smartphones and already have quite a lot to show for their efforts.

The most recent achievement of the indie dev community is quite impressive though. The Samsung Galaxy Ace and Gio – two smartphones based on the older-gen ARMv6 CPU – got CM10 ports, which will certainly be their only chance of tasting Jelly Bean.

While the ROMs are still in the early alpha stages of their development, they already have support for most of the two smartphone’s hardware. They are some way off from being ready for everyday duties, but at least they give you a preview of what’s to come."-----

Hello fellow RAZR owners,

Just asking how are your RAZRs holding in all aspects specifically cosmetic looks. Is it closer to when you unboxed or its currently something else all together?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
I'm on my 2nd RAZR (CDMA). I ended up upgrading to a MAXX Limited Edition I found on eBay.

In my 5 months with this phone it has been dropped over 20+ times. 3 of which were directly on concrete parking surfaces. I've slammed it in my car door really hard 2 times not to mention the myriads of spills and splashes. It still runs like the day I bought it. Aside from a little knick here and there on the actual phone case it's still in like new condition.

Also, I do NOT use a screen protector. Personal preference.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Hindle1225:
Actually its morphed into a navigation system that Bluetooth syncs to my car for streaming radio and provides internet to my work Laptop. All while driving and not needing to be charged all day. Forgot to mention it also places and receives phone calls. Its not what i expected when i bought it, thought i had just bought a phone.

Dropped it on concrete twice and have chips around the bezel :( works good as new though
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
dropped it multiple times from 3ft+, but only once or twice (or thrice?) on hard surface such as ceramic floors or concrete. the rest is either carpet or wood.

zero protection.

zero scratch on screen. corners of the plastic bezel (wherever its angled) however, start to show some gradation... its like a bit smudge. oh, and the Motorola metal strip on front top? some scratches there.

other than that, screen and back is rock solid.

I dropped mine once on carpet from chair height. No scratches. No protection but overly careful.

Mine has some light scratches on the screen. They are only visible when it's off and I hold it at the right angle, but I thought it should be more scratch resistant. I'm pretty careful with the screen.

The back plastic has some scuffs where it rests on my desk, but nothing else.

[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
First i wanna say thanks to Whosdaman for the steps to pull a prl from a device and how to push it. Also to my mom who let me unlock her device and made her loose all her **** and for not yelling at me.

People have been having data issues with PRL 21090 so i decided to make a guide to show you how to downgrade your PRL to 21089.

Content Needed

Installed 2.17 ROM (ICS ROM's might work as well/ Not sure)

Downgrade-PRL.zip

MSL number you can use MSL Reader to find it.

HTC DIAG 64bit Drivers The once in the folder do not work

1.) Extract Downgrade-PRL.zip and also.

There should be 4 files. Extract the 3 zip/rar files.

2.) Install "QPST_2.7_362" There will be a setup.exe file inside the folder.

3.) Connect your device and disable debugging on your device. Type the following codes on your phone.

HTC EVO 3D: ##3424#

Your computer should start updating drivers.

Make sure none fail. (HTC DIAG might fail as it did to me)

4.) You can skip this step if HTC DIAG was successfully installed.

Go to Control Panel.

Device Manager

Find the device that you are trying to install a driver for.

Right Click

Update Driver Software

Browse my computer for driver software

Browse to where you extracted the "HTC DIAG Drivers 32-bit" folder

Press Okay.

The driver will be installed.

5.)

Copied from Whosdaman Thread

Open QPST Configuration in the "QPST" folder under Programs

Disable debugging on your device

Type one of the following codes in you respected device's dialer and switch to "CP" or "Modem"

HTC EVO 3D: ##3424#

Plug in your device

Click on the “Ports” tab and “Add a new port”

Select the “COMXX – USB\QC Diagnostic” and click ok. If you don’t see a port, uncheck the box for "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" and add all of the USB/Unknown ports. One of them should show an active phone.

Click “Start Clients” on the top of the program and open Service Programming

Select your device

Click "Read from Phone" and enter your MSL

Click the "Roam" tab

Click "Browse" and select the PRL you wish to use

Click "Write to Phone"

Phone should reboot with the PRL you specified

If everything was done correctly you should now be back on PRL 21089

any issues you have please let me know as i will try to help as much as i can.

[Motorola Atrix HD] nuance4u:
As a noob to Android as well as the Atrix HD, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether I have to convert the mp4 music file format iTunes uses to mp3 before I use Welcome Home to transfer the music. I'd like to do this in one swell foop if you know what I mean. I also have no idea if I can transfer the ring tones I made in iTunes to this phone and if so, how do I do it? My phone will arrive today and I'm so excited to finally leave Apple and the closed OS ecosystem.

Also if anyone has any tips early on, I'd love to hear them. ATT has some good tutorials and the Atrix manual seems good too.

Download Google music on your computer and sync with iTunes and boom music.. I have 30gb of music without having one song on my phone
[Motorola Atrix HD] nuance4u:
My laptop runs WinXP and I installed Music Manager and it seemed very buggy so I couldn't upload my iTunes. I also installed Double Twist and it easily imported my iTunes music but all the files show the lock (DRM). Are you saying that once Double Twist is installed on my phone that the Atrix running 4.0.4 will play the music without any problems? I was looking at the online manual for the phone and I see that Moto/ATT offer the Welcome Home apps for both PC and phone so that also may be the solution. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to convert the music files in iTunes from mp4 to mp3 so that they will play on the phone.. Any ideas?

Thanks folks.. much appreciated.

I figured out that with the cases that come with a holster, its REALLY easy to make a car mount. All you really need is something strong that is more or less "L" shaped and your favorite adhesive, My case is a Case-mate Phantom w/ holster. I used a foam type of adhesive tape and a 5.25" drive cover, heated a portion of it with a lighter and bent it into the desired shape. The Holster simply clips right on! This way you can still take it with you when you leave the vehicle.

You can use metal L brackets for something stronger and something that you don't have to fabricate.

I've had my S3 for a couple weeks now and my wife is picking one up this evening. I've been looking for a decent (working) application that will do video chat with some of the more known video chat sites (Skype, Oovoo, Gtalk, etc) but so far the three or four i've tried are currently not working.

Has anyone found a working video chat application that will work with our front side camera that is compatible with

So far I've tried:

Skype - call works, can see other users but the app won't activate our camera (lot of posts complaining about this on the skype forums but no official response to date)

Oovoo - application will not even install from the play store (not supported on your device message) - side loading resulted in very sketchy results but the cameras themselves still are not functional

GTalk - I briefly tried this but couldn't get the video to actually connect. Found other posts on other forums with people complaining about the same issue.

I know that the T-mobile flavor comes with Qik's however that doesn't seem to support anything but others using the "Qik" service.

I'm sure these will receive more support as the phone matures but this was one of the points my wife was looking forward to in order to chat w/ her family.
