Yeah i saw that post earlier, I already have a similar program to Virtual box and am just gonna use that. I looked up how to relock the bootloader and i know it will say re-locked. But for a technichan to see that they would have to go into the bootloader. My main concern is that when i boot the phone normaly i get the htc splash screen with red words underneath that basicly say, that this is a test version of android. I'm not sure if thats just because of my custom rom or not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Those just appear when you have an unofficial boot image (which now gets flashed with custom ROMs once the devs figured out how to do it). I think the red text will be gone when you RUU and the boot image goes back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kyleallen5000:
Okay thank you, like I said. I wont be trying any of this stuff till im sure my battery is faulty, but if i determine it is I will give these steps a try.

You shouldn't have installed ROM MANAGER, its incompatible with this phone. Usually hard bricks it, but you might be able to revive through Odin.

I understand a long time ago ROM MANAGER was very bad for our ACE's. But still?

I went to http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/ and Galaxy Ace is in the list.

What are they upto stating that it is compatible when it is not??

Or a we under the assumption that it is still very BAD.

Have been reading all over XDA and found alot of old threads, just wasn't too sure.

I for one, will stay clear of it!! But I have a ACE coming in the post that has been 'bricked' after trying to root, so I am hoping that this ROM MANAGER curse is no longer (if they used ROM MANAGER for some reason)

Thanks Guys

EDIT: Realised that ROM MANAGER 'is compatible' LOL hahaha BS. So CWM is compatible but flashing it through ROM MANAGER will def BRICK your ACE : ( Well most of the time anyway, something to do with overwriting download mode, which totally screws it not being able to flash with ODIN.

Still waiting for mine in the post, hopefully this is not the case.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manvendra05:
What us the reason that ace gets bricked when we flash recovery using rom manager ? :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system.img:
It corrupts bootloader and so the phone fails to start.

But nowadays rom manager works with the Ace only if you have a CWM compatible kernel and CWM 5 already installed. I use Rom manager nowadays despite that it had bricked my phone last year!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manvendra05:
How is it useful ?

I too would like to use it if it doesnt brick my phone! :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system.img:
It is just like an extended app of CWM.

And if you click a .zip file, it will automatically ask you whether you want to install it with CWM.

But you need official Cyanogenmod and CWM 5 already installed.

But be careful while using it as a wrong move could brick your phone. Make sure you know what you are doing. Most functions work fine. But rom manager is not needed much if you have CWM. It just makes usage of CWM easier!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FilePermissions:
I read an outdated but interesting article about phreakers using a "Cache-box" to cache multiple ESN's and MIN's; Then due to programming use 1 ESN and 1 MIN per phone call, deleting used ESN's and MIN's after use. Seems like something you'd see on a James Bond movie or Nikita TV series described as a "Secure phone". The article also brought up the Clipper chip "Encryption" being proposed as a factory standard in cellular devices. I guess, I'm really just phishing for more updated information regarding these issues and my phones security. I mean are cloned phones and spoofing still common place in the cellular Industry these days? Is the clipper chip or any other Encryption still factory standard, easily reversed by anyone with the right key to decrypt your data? Is it legal, possible to remove the standard encryption chip with a custom one? Do these spy-like movie theatrics really have any contemporary practice?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wacky2bakky:
I have noticed for different reminders, our galaxy s3 has a lot more colors included in this LED. Was wondering if there is any app I could use to control these specific colors yet? I've tried blink, sms popup, and LED control and the colors you have to pick from are not matching with what colors the phone flashes. Just didn't know if there was anything out there yet for us to control that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
I noticed this too. It's funny once I noticed it was purple lol. But it would be cool to find a app or maybe it come in a ROM or something. But I doubt anything is like that now. Just have to stay patient and let the devs know about it and hope we can see it in the near future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Lightflow.... It is almost ready for GS3 the development of it is occurring as we speak. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Lightflow... So good I guess I will post twice....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Is Lightflow going to be in a ROM or just a flashable zip or an app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
It is an app

:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
App looks pretty cool. Thanks for the information.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rey_1178:
So if I'm not mistaken this app isn't ready yet for the gs3 right? Last time I used it the colors were off. You would choose red and get white or choose green and get red.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Yes, They are having some issues right now. Maybe the next update it will be fixed. Last time it was updated was July 17th.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wacky2bakky:
Hey guys, good news. I found a free app called light manager. Its in the market/play store. It will let you modify the led color and flash rate. And it actually picks up the correct colors too. Check it out, it was just updated today 07/31/2012.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bielinsk:
The colors are still not correct in this app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wacky2bakky:
seems to work perfect for me on all colors, not sure why its not for you. sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bielinsk:
I am running stock. This has all different colors. It also will produce random white/blue LEDs without any notification in the notification bar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] disturbd1:
Another option would be to root, and go with the CM10 preview build (it's very stable at this point, good enough for a daily). You can apply LED colors/blink intervals to just about anything with it. No other apps or hacking required. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Doesn't look like Light Manager or Light Flow works yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] baldockdrew3:
Could be differences between models

I've tried both as well, I'm on a Telus SIII (I747M) and not having any luck with any of the suggested apps, but I have heard of people getting it to work. So at this point, it could be possible its a difference in the devices and control of them. I'm glad someone is looking into this because I used to have a BlackBerry and I loved the ability to customize the LED completely down to what colour light flashes when a certain contact texts or calls. It was so customizable, this is the first Android device I've had that has an LED, so hopefully we will be able to take control of it! :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] satishp:
Hi,

I know there are dozens of threads around about flashing Custom ROMS on the Note, but I have specific requirements to be met before attempting to flash a ROM on my Note. Its not that I'm new to flashing ROMS, its just that since I know that the Note is the "most vulnerable" device when it comes to the emmc bug, I want to be on the safer side. My Note is just around a month old and I dont want to brick it due to any foolishness from my side warranty in India sucks, In simple words, even if I'm eligible for warranty, I would receive my Note in a scratched, scuffed and abused manner though in a "working" condition, God knows for how long after a freaking month or two. Well, thats warranty here in India. So, as my loss is my loss alone, I created this thread to be safe.

Coming back to the topic, I'm running Stock ICS DDLPA on Speedmod Kernel K3-7 and want to move to Paranoid Android 0.5 which I believe is a CM9 based ROM.

1) As I am on ICS (speedmod kernel k3-7), is it safe to flash a Gingerbread ROM via PC ODIN?

2) If the 1st one is a go, I do not want to increase my binary counter while rooting gingerbread or installing Paranoid. I know about TriangleAway but since it requires the CF Kernel, flashing many kernels(on the NOTE) freaks me out at the moment. So I just want to flash the ROM without any increase in binary counter.

3) In the video guide on installing Paranoid Android, I see that the person goes into CWM recovery in the Gingerbread Kernel and flashes the Paranoid ZIP file and GAPPS and then proceeds to Wipe Data\Factory Reset. But once the paranoid android ZIP file is flashed, isnt he on an ICS kernel? Correct me if I'm wrong.

4) I see that Paranoid Android uses the CM9 kernel. Is it guaranteed Safe to Wipe using this kernel? Does it have the MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled like the speedmod kernels?

5) Last, incase if I ever want to revert back to Stock ICS for any reason, is it safe to flash back to Stock ICS using PC Odin while still on the CM9 Kernel or do I need to flash the Stock Gingerbread first over the existing CM9 kernel?

It would be really helpful if my queries are answered in the same manner as I have asked above.

I have gone through all the warnings and guides here in the forum but none of them seems to specifically satisfy my needs. I would have just flashed away but since its a "NOTE" again, I really want to be on the safer side.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:

Reboot in Recovery (under advanced) <= important

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Full wipe (factory reset, cache + dalvik cache)

Reboot and enjoy.

I'm sorry, all the issues which popped up lately regarding the emmc bug as kept me on stock till now. If that nasty bug wasn't there, this thread wouldn't be there in the first place. I've never run on stock on any of my phones and this is the first time that I've stayed this long on stock. Its not that I'm new to flashing or anything. I've been doing that since the Symbian and WinMo 6.5days. Its just that its a "Note" and I wish to avoid a brick anytime soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
But why not just ask in the ROM thread. I am sorry, but every day someone opens a thread which could - looking at the very specific needs of everyone - just be handled as a post (in your case in PA by imilka) instead of its own thread.

Nevertheless I am glad to see that you informed yourself.

If you felt better, then install one of the per rooted GB Roms.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
1.flashing stock rom with pc odin is safe. Irrespective of rom you are having.

2.flashing stock rom.doesn't raise flash counter.

3. B'coz it now running on cm9 kernel which is safe.

4.yes emmc erase cap driver is.diabled, but.if you talking in terms of 'guaranteed' then even developers also not using this term still on ics

5. my answer 1 hav already answered this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] g2tegg:
Trust me I was just as cautious as you are. But as long as you use a safe kernel, reboot recovery and then perform 3 wipes you will be fine.

I'm pretty sure speedmod is a safe kernel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Good luck!! I go through more roms on my phone then I do underwear haha
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] satishp:
If I flash Abyss Kernel using MobileODIN, I wont be able to boot into my existing ICS ROM as it is a gingerbread based kernel, am I right? Then, how do I confirm I'm on Abyss Kernel while in recovery?

Thanks for your quick reply. To be frank, I wanted to hear from you as I've seen all your guides.

My question no2 is not about flashing stock rom but will rooting the stock gingerbread with custom recovery raise counter? I do not want to increase the binary count. Would flashing the above mentioned AbyssKernel also do the job?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
If you follow my guides to root gingerbread it won't raise counter. In my guide i have never mentioned any procedure which can raise counter.

Just one suggetion, if you want to flash gingerbread as only for switching purpose, then go with prerooted rom(find from my signature) and flash using pc odin. After flashing you will have gb rom +root+cwm

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] satishp:
Is there any complications flashing the AbyssKernel instead? Is it safe to flash with MobileODIN? Would it increase binary counter as I'm moving to a Gingerbread based custom kernel from ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] life.eq.null:
Yes.

If it's completely stock, it won't increase your binary counter, also flashing kernels is 100% safe, even with the emmc bug.

No, unless you reboot right after flashing the rom, you're still on whatever kernel you used to flash, also CM9 kernels are safe.

Yes.

Yes, but keep in mind stock ICS has the bug, so unless you're using a different kernel on it (SpeedMod, etc), you're not safe.

Thanks a lot for all your support guys. I'm running Paranoid 0.5. The black clipping\crush is worst on the CM9 kernel and its everywhere. even in the UI. It really bothers me.

Could anyone suggest me a Good kernel with the least clipping and also any "Visually Pleasing" ROM (like MIUI) for the note? Paranoid looks mostly stock as its CM9 based but the tablet mode is just brilliant.on the Note. Its like the best of both worlds.

As a graphic designer myself, may I put in some advice? Get a portfolio of your work going. If you don't have anything/want to try something new, start working on some projects for major ROMs, even if they won't be used. It allows people to see how you envision the brand and identity of that particular piece, and it showcases your talents and technique (obviously).

Perhaps start with the biggest, CyanogenMod? With codeworkx releasing the experimental build of CyanogenMod 10 for the Galaxy S II less than 24 hours ago, it's a great opportunity to start! :angel:
