[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasooboy:
This is what my friend told me to do is it safe ?? or can be done in this way ??

i dont need to tell you that you have to be very careful in following these steps,

although i have tried them 5 times on 5 different notes successfully still mistakes can be dangerous so be careful and follow them to the letter and take your time to read before you start

also if you can do this with a laptop its better than a pc because if the electricity cut out it could mess up the phone. its safer to have a battery, btw just as i finished this line we had a black out here lol electricity cut off for the whole block

copy AbyssNotekernel42.zip and CWM.zip to the phone

power off the phone and take the battery out to make sure its off

power it back on holding volume up + home + power to go to recovery mode

choose install zip from sdcard

select the CWM.zip and choose yes install

you will get clock work mode interface then choose install update zip from sdcard again

select AbyssNotekernel42.zip and install it

power off and remove the battery and put it back

power on holding volume up + home + power to go to recovery mode again

this time it the abyss kernel recovery and it works with the touch screen

it is safe to do a factory reset from here so do it

then power off and remove the battery again and put it in

this time power on the phone with volume down + home + power to go to download mode

start Odin on the pc then connect the phone in download mode

click on PDA and then select the rom XXLPD file "N7000JPLPD_N7000OJPLP7_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5" and click start

when the phone restarts make sure the samsung logo apears then remove the battery so that it doesnt boot up

start the phone again in download mode volume down + home + power

select the speedmod kernel file and flash it to the phone same way you flashed the rom in PDA select "speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-11-Odin.tar" then click start

when the phone restarts again remove the battery after the samsung logo apears

power on the phone into recovery again for the last factory reset volume up + home + power

do the factory reset and reboot the phone

There are a few steps missing there. I would go to the link I posted above.

First download Odin 1.85 from link A. 1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numbnutsuk:
Next download pre rooted GB from A.8 and flash it using Odin under pda
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numbnutsuk:
Then down load lpy open German 4.0.3 which you want from B.1 and flash in PDA using Odin.

That's it your done!

You comfortable with that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasooboy:

Hi there,

If anyone still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..

This might help you guys :).

1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.

2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.

3. You can achive it through shell terminal.

Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).

Hit thanks if it helps.

Thanks

~imon
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] aky_style:
Fix for you-install attached and enjoy

Install vending.apk and service framework.apk..

playstore will run smoothly on your emulator.

Hit Thanks if I helped

I want to flash over to Slim ICS and try that out for a little bit but I want to continue using TWRP instead of CWM. I know I should be able to inject TWRP through the recovery bit I'm not sure how. Any help?

Sent from my Unicorn powered SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
To use the newest TWRP 2.2 you will need to pull the boot.img from aokp and make sure to pull the bcm4329.ko file to. Then using heimdall cmd flash the boot.img and then push the bcm4329.ko file.

The reason is because FB removed the inject TWRP toggle in the new versions.

If you can't get it, I have a link to a CWM flash able zip that gives you twrp. Here's the link:

That is the older version of TWRP. It is a option, I just prefer the newest version it has the quirks ironed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I still haven't tested using the GB/CM7 twrp zip that you linked him to in ICS roms. I'll probably get around to making a twrp 2.2/ICS zip for you guys to stay on the safe side since it's easy to get the ramdisk image from an AOKP build. I just need to do it when I'm home.

I knew that that existed but knowing it was for GB I wasn't gonna use it. Thanks though!

Actually that one works on all the ICS roms. I first tried it on CM9 then I realized it should work on all of them so I tried and it has not once failed on me. The only downside is that its a older twrp but still good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
how do i extract the boot.img?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Unzip the zip with winrar or whatever you use. Pull the boot.img over to your comp. Then flash it with heimdall.

heimdall flash --kernel boot.img

Or you could be reallllllllly nice to FB and ask him to make a CWM flashable of the new version of TWRP

Haha, FB if you have time to do such a thing, I'm sure the community would appreciate it! But I'm ok with flashing through heimdall haha

unzip aokp_galaxys4gmtd_unofficial_milestone-6-03.zip boot.img

That will extract just the boot img, but it has to be don from cmd line. Then do what hecheon says.

No sh#t you can extract from a zip with heimdall! Thanks Still will most likely use winrar but good to know.

Let me begin by saying i am a relatively a novice in the field of android smart phone and installing Custom Roms in short i am a noob :o

I have a Sony Xperia x10 mini E10i Smart phone which already had Ginger DX Custom Rom installed, which was installed by my friend. And now he is gone, and i wish to do Install new custom roms like Ice Cream Sandwich or which will be the most suited for this phone with most apps working and stability according to the users?? :confused:

Could anyone guide me on how to begin with a step by step Tutorial for beginners (noobies) :D in order to install a new Rom with complete fresh install.

i dont have any important data in my SD card so no worry about making a fresh install :)

PS- i did some googling and searched on xda aswell and tried to do it on my own but wasn't successful as most tutorials were of not the same model or were kind of confusing :confused:

Please help me guys :fingers-crossed:

Thnx

Whatchoo need...

Hi there! I started playing around with custom roms for my x10 mini pro u20 about two weeks ago, it's both been a lot of fun and a good bit of frustration. This is the thread that helped me understand rooting (unlocking the phone for installing custom software), installing (flashing) kernels (base software/ installs drivers), and installing (flashing) ROMs (GUI/ User interface software/operating system)

!! Use titanium backup or nandroid to back up all your current install to your SDcard. If you don't, you're gonna be annoyed later.

1) Download and install Flash tool for Xperia devices http://www-stud.uni-due.de/~sfanmakr/X10Flash/X10Flash-2.1.zip

2) Download nAa kernel for ICS http://minicm.googlecode.com/files/E10_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.ftf (Your kernel must always match the build of the rom you are going to install)

- save the .ftf file in the /firmware directory of your flashtool install

3) Download ICS ROM appropriate to your phone from http://code.google.com/p/minicm/downloads/list

4) Download Google Apps package for ICS http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

That should be all you need to download.

You do not have to format or loose data from your SD card. It is where you store the ROM zip file and the Gapps (Google Apps) zip file, without unpackaging them, in the root directory of the SD card.

Here is a step by step on how to flash the new kernel on your phone using flashtool, then how to install the zips. It is a page about an x8, but the process is more or less identical between the x8, x10 mini, and x10 mini pro.

http://apgalaxy.com/minicm9-v3-0-2-xperia-x8-ics/

Good luck!

I have found I prefer gingerbread/miniCM7, my u20/ mini pro gets very slow on miniCM9.

Remember to hit the Thanks button! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
What the guy above said except don't download a ROM That's not for our phones! Smultrom or whatever it was isn't the mini. Robyn is the mini. Download miniCM9 from the x10 mini android development section

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] illysmanx:
Thanks x10man, was kinda confused because of the poster's description of his phone. What's the shorthand for the xperia x10 mini? I know the x10 mini pro is u20. Kinda important in this particular case.

and that'd be 'What the chick above said...' (LOL)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Zopey:
Hey thanks bro :D i finally installed CMmini 9 on the phone :laugh:

So far its looks great, has improved alot from the last time...

Anyway i have few more queries

1- What are the other custom roms i can use or try? Like IceCream Sandwich, GingerBread, Froyo and where can i get these custom Roms?

2- Are there incompatibility issues with certain Roms in case of my device?

3- I wish to try veetle App on my phone, i installed Veetle app but it asked for Adobe Flash Player 11 which incompatible with my E10i model :(

..so i did some googling and got to some page where in comments someone said Its possible to Install Adobe Flash player 11 in GingerBread and Froyo. Is it possible? and where can i get the Latest Roms of Froyo and GingerBread :)

4- What is the best app for downloading paid apps on the phone like applanet?

Thanks bro :victory:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] illysmanx:
More folk are going to have to post to answer those questions for you! I've gone so far as just the custom roms myself. I tried one of the nightly builds of miniCM7, and it rocks! It looks like CM7 and CM9 are two different branches instead of actual in-line software version updates. Aka, a newer build of miniCM7 (like 2.3.6) can be just as up to date as miniCM09.

One of the helpful tools on this site is the 'search in this thread' box on the right hand side of the page. You have to navigate up to the appropriate forum, and then type something like [ROM] in the search box, and then press enter, and browse the search results. That usually helps a lot with searching for custom roms, for example. Try starting in 'XPERIA X10 Mini Android Development' http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=726 that's where developers are supposed to post their Roms.

you can try searching, for example, for '[ROM] Adobe Flash' to see if someone has made a rom with adobe flash player packaged already in the rom, or if they comment about it.

Always browse the last few pages of a ROM thread, to see if folk are reporting errors you don't want to run into.

Always look at the ROM requirements- the developer will almost always tell you what kernel to flash before installing the ROM.

INSTALL ANTIVIRUS! Avast or AVG from the google play store are the best. Download, install, then open the Antivir program to get it running. Android is one of the most hacked OSes out there because it's so popular, and even google play has malware in it. Antivir should be your FIRST step when getting cozy with a new rom.

You can install android software from the web too... You first must allow 'Unknown sources' - I think it's under either Applications or security in settings. Then use browser to navigate to the page/software you want, and you can download from there. If it's a *.apk file, you can browse to it using file manager under the SDcard's /download dir, and then open it to install it.

Sure, there are plenty of incompatable ROMs.. just like there's a whole lot of android phones. That's why it's best to use the forum/search tool, and read to make sure the ROM is built for your particular phone. I've accidentally installed, for example, a flash kernel for the E10 on my phone, and a ROM for the u20i, and then successfully booted it, but could not use the touchscreen! The Kernel is one of the most important parts, having the wrong kernel is often the reason for Wifi not working properly, etc.

Thus.. always make sure that you are using the right kernel for your phone AND for the rom. You are using a kernel right now for ICS, and if you were to try and install a ROM for gingerbread (android 2.x.x) on it, you might be able to boot the rom and even use a bit of the software, but certain functions would be buggy.

If you do everything and then reboot and just get the kernel's animation for minutes and minutes on end, something went funky with the install. reboot it, enter the kernel, enter mounts and storage and then mount USB, and then re-download the ROM and install again.

Remember to press the thanks button!

Thanks alot man :victory:

You made a a lot easiar for me.

I installed CM9 based on ICS and turns out adobe flash player isnt going to work in this ROM.

So as stated i downloaded the CM7 GingerBread Rom from this site (h t t p: // code.google.com/p/minicm/downloads/list ), as i read on the forum people saying adobe flash player is working on this ROM smoothly. This is the one i downloaded (MiniCM7-2.2.1-robyn MiniCM7-2.2.1 Build featured x10 mini MiniCM7) Release date June 10 88.1 mb <-- I hope i have downloaded the correct Rom :confused:

Anyway so i proceeded with the same process as explained to install a Rom. Except i did not flashed any new kernel or anything.

I copied the GingerBread Rom (MiniCM7-2.2.1-robyn) in the SD card and restarted and tapped the back button during the nAa kernel boot and got to the screen where i can install the GingerBread rom from SD card. Ps- I did Wiped Data/factory reset,Cache. Dalvik-Cache, Battery Stats, and formatted the system and then installed the new GingerBread Rom from sd card. And it got installed smoothly and when i restarted the screen got stuck at the bootlogo of Mini CM7 :(

I got confused what have i done wrong here :confused:

Anyway i did some search on forum and i found maybe its the kernel?? For GingerBreal CM7 there is a specific kernel??

Is this the reason why the GingerBread Rom got stuck on Boot logo screen? or there any other reason to it :)

And If i have to install a new Rom say for instance CM7 GingerBread Rom over the already installed CM9 ICS Rom what are the steps for doing that. :o (Ps- As the steps i tried didnt work)

And if it is the kernel issue where can i download the kernel for GingerBread Rom CM7?

Lastly i have some adventurous stupid questions :o

1- Like PC we have dual boot where we can choose the OS out of all the OS's installed, Can this be possible on the phone?? Like Installing more then 1 Rom on same device? :p

2- And is there a way to Connect my phone to my Pc and use the rom on my desktop? :o

Like i have 40 inch LCD TV which is connected to my CPU via HDMI output... so can it be possible to run the Rom on the desktop by connecting the Phone to Pc?

3- Like is there a Virtual machine on which Android custom roms can be tested before usage?? Like Vmware and Parallels for Windows :)

Again Thanks a lot for guiding me, this post really made my life easiar

Waiting for reply :)

Regards
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Yes you need the nAa-GB kernel from here

Just flash it with flashtool and your MiniCM7 installation should boot.

Not sure about the dual-boot, i think it's possible by installing one ROM on the sd-card and the other one on the internal space (which is where the rom normally goes), but we have only space for one kernel, so both roms should work with the same kernel. How to go about it, I don't know though.

Connecting your phone to your pc won't run your ROM on the pc, since your pc has got an x86 architecture and your phone is based on ARM, I guess connecting the phone directly to the hdmi-output of your TV might run the ROM full-screen, but unfotunately, our phones don't have HDMI out. and i don't think it's going to work through usb.

I'm fairly sure there is an Android-emulator that will run Android ROMS or Apps in a virtual machine for testing or trying out. I think that is included in the official Android Software Development Kit from Google.

I doubt that, the unlock process needs access to the system-areas of the phone.

I doubt the unlock of your bootloader was successful, give the output of the Identify button in S1Tool to check.
