[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
If you dont mod your device then how many chances are.there to make hard reset device?

I know lot ppl they purchasing and selling.device without single reset.

So rooting opens.100 ways to explore ur device, simultaneously opens 100 ways to put u in situation,u needs reset. That is the only reason rate.of bricking is high with rooted device, but if you read carefully and avoid reset/wiping there is almost zero chances to brick.

And yes if you look, compare to selling of notes in india, u don't see indians are quite less on forum?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
I'm really worried because you said if I avoid wiping I'm almost zero chance of briking.. I got my note clean, I mean I don't dare to put music and movies into it because then I don't dare to delete all those files... Will this brick my phone? I'm stock 4.0.4 rooted

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Obviously the culprit is wiping with CWM,I have factory Reset million times with no consequences at all,and just once with CWM was enough to Superbrick it,and yes I was on stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
It says big files shudn't be deleted. Though frankly speaking i have not seen any case brick by that, though we cant ignore comments from recognised developer.

But wat best idea i found to manage file is

Connect device with PC as mass storage and manage files from PC explorer. I believe that is safe way.

That was your bad luck this time, otherwise both have same effect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TigerstyleUK:
I went from stock 4.0.3 to German 4.0.4 xxlrk a few days ago. My phone was using speedmod kernel and I did a wipe using cwm recovery without any ill effects.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 84DGR:
I had the same issue... the superbrick can be over come by a repartition in adb
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] YLNdroid:
I suspect you had CWM via CF kernel, right? If so, then supposedly CF kernel for Ice Cream Sandwich is unsafe as well considering it is based on or close to the stock kernel. Then again, as always I may be wrong.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I had completely stock both ROM and kernel the CWM I used was the one on DR,Ketan's stock ROMs thread page which had served me very well.

Anyway I am out now with my wife till monday,and have got my HD2 WM handset with me,on monday when I am back will give another serious PIT try.
[HTC ChaCha] ultrachilled:
I want to root my sister's Chacha. I understand that I must update it with the RUU program first, before unlocking the bootloader. The thing is, it appears that there isn't a version for this phone. Is there a version for every carrier in every country? or is there a generic RUU?

I am from Peru, the carrier is Claro.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
You may not need to update your HBOOT with the RUU. Take out your battery, and hold down volume down key and power to go into your bootloader, and see what HBOOT version you have. If you have version 1.10.0000 or higher, then you can skip the RUU bit, and go straight on to the unlocking :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaheerali:
I don't think it is a stolen one. Itz a demo live unit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
According to what I read once, demo units do not have the cellular chip, so they can't use cellular network.

That would also explain why there is no IMEI sticker.

You cannot recover the EFS even if you know the IMEI-number. Only Samsung can, since it's encrypted for security reasons.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaheerali:
Is there any application for checking presence of cellular network ???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeanss:
They don't normally have any cellular network, so that if someone were to steal it from a shop, it would be relatively useless to them, they can't really sell it on and they can't keep it to be used as their daily phone, wherever you got it from, you're better off sending it back, all that phone is right now is the android equivalent to an iPod touch.

Sorry, dude.

Same Problem here....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Two points

One phones are Demo units in which case the Demo Units thread may have an answer but i doubt it as it would be pretty stupid to supply your dealers with a unit that can be magically turned on .

Two they are not demo units and with a missing IMEI and no IMEI sticker somewhere along the line they have been stolen .

In both cases go back to the seller if legitimate sales .

So the question for both posters is lets see the point of sale you bought from .

I am trying to connect a usb ethernet adapter to my i747 s3 without success. Has anyone tried this?

I compiled usbnet.ko and cdc_ether.ko from samsung source

insmod worked and I have an entry usb0 when connecting to the adapter (gadget). I am using a USB OTG cable.

I did "ifconfig usb0 192.168.3.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" to assign the ip address to the interface usb0

When I ping the computer on the other side, the "ping" works (packet transmitted and received by party 2) but the "pong" does not work completely (packet transmitted back by party 2 arrived at the phone but then dropped and thus the ping is not complete)

Here is my ifconfig usb0 output

usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C6:75:9C:64:98:AF
inet addr:192.168.3.100 Bcast:192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:126 (126.0 B) TX bytes:846 (846.0 B)

Notice that the phone received the "pong" but then dropped it: (RX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:9)

The only related info I found is at android.stackexchange.com/questions/20541/android-usb-gadget-driver, which mentioned that there is some alignment issues. I try to make the changes suggested but was unable to get my newly compile kernel to boot (stuck in a boot loop, this may because I don't know enough about flashing kernel???).

Any pointers?

Thanks.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paganen:
* The fist use case is when you don't have wifi but you do have wired internet. I realize that you can just buy a wifi access point to solve this poblem as an alternative.

* The second use case is when you want to transmit in another band. Since the phone is only capable of the quad bands, you cannot transmit in other frequencies (think ham radio, marine/police frequencies, or just for watching over the air tv on your phone). For this to work, you need an RF head (antenna) that is capable of doing this. The one I have can only talk "ethernet over usb".

I have not tested the method of test point, but it seems safe. If the person does not want to risk connecting something wrong. You can try to follow in the footsteps of Sony http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ according to your model. In my point of view I prefer methadone plus Sony's command in Ms Dos. Regarding the problem of manufacturing data can rest assured that no problems have at least the Sony because methadone is a specific code. Now as to the test point can not guarantee. In my view these quiet line Xperia handsets are very strong. These devices are actually very good.

No need to unlock the bootloader to install CWM. However you will not get to modify your kernel. Cause to modify kernel you must have unlocked Bootloader. Installs CWM puts your phone in Debug mode and apply the. Bat according to your device model http://www.4shared.com/rar/qZQbLbdc/CWM-Install.html?

The next step you will have CWM.

Now you want to unlock your bootloader? you must use the means of unlocking the Sony the best way http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

After unlocking your bootloader. Then everything gets easier. Despois to unlock your bootloader. When you apply the Kernel it will come with CWM already built there then just do a full wipe and then apply the ROM to taste.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortstuff-Tom:
Hi All

Ive looked around for a solution to this problem.

I put CM10 on my phone, it didnt boot.

I then put CM7.2 on my phone, it booted but kept rebooting.

It then just randomly stopped.

I then tried to put CM9 on, but had the reboot issue, left it, problem did not go away.

So I put CM7.2 back on and im back to it rebooting all the time.

The only solution I can find it flashing the radio. However im told this can brick your phone.

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what they did and what I should do when flashing my radio, I dont want to brick it.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Just make sure you don't interrupt the process when flashing a radio i.e make sure there's enough charge in the battery and don't unplug the usb cable till the phone has booted up again, terminal or fastboot are the most reliable methods but if you follow those instructions above everything will be fine.

Hi, could anybody answer this question.

1. Is there a limit still put onto UK/European handsets that do not allow the headphones to go above the 100Db limit. I know this used to be the case back in the Windows mobile days and certain custom roms used to remove this.

Reason for asking is I have started using headphones more recently and have noticed that the top limit is not as loud as i had expected, even though I am using a decent set of headphones.

If the limit is still in place is there a way to remove this by a reg tweak or anything.

Not a problem as such I know but would be handy if it could be worked around.
