[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ShonkUK:
Im quite new to the note

I have a UK unbranded one running

4.0.3

N7000XXLPT

IML74K.XXLQ2

I rooted it the other week

and went though the su zip

for changes and made an unroot zip

The only changes i made was i replaced the hosts file

and disabled some items from running on startup

with an app called autostarts

Sky go is working now so all traces of root are gone

as far as i can tell

But i havnt been pushed the 4.0.4 update yet

im unsure if its just not ready for my model

or samsung arnt pushing it as i was rooted
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Audio Oblivion:
Have you tried through Kies yet?

My device was in a similar situation (stock 4.0.3 rooted then unrooted and no OTA update notification) but i went through Kies and it immediately told me there was and update available.

That was yesterday.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ShonkUK:
Did it update ok

how did you unroot?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Audio Oblivion:
I rooted and unrooted using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148

Unlike your experience though, after "unrooting" my device, sky go still complained about the device being rooted although all other indications pointed to it being fully unrooted.

I then plugged into Kies and it told me that the update was available so i wiped the device first (risky but it went ok), then plugged back in and updated.

Kies had trouble downloading the new firmware twice but it got there third time and all is well so far. Still unrooted.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] YLNdroid:
If Samsung Kies is turning out to be ineffcient, which it does, then the best method to get stock firmware is to either download it from dr.ketan's stock ROMs thread or SamFirmware and then flash it via PC ODIN.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PJ147:
I just got the update on Kies but have not done it yet. Is it a full wipe or will my apps remain intact?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PJ147:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I live in the UK and own a UK Note and received 4.04 OTA yesterday which updated it from the 4.03. I'm not sure what difference the update makes, but it took ages to do and I thought it had got stuck. It was similar to the original update from GB to ICS where the apps had to be updated too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PJ147:
Cheers. Thought that was the case but next to check! Got update notification on Kies late last night but battery was too low. Charged while I slept to wake up to an OTA notification. When I clicked update it said no update available??? Back to Kies for me then!

(Unbranded UK note on 3 unrooted)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Audio Oblivion:
We indeed didn't need to unroot before flashing but i went ahead anyway to test the unroot script i had. As you mentioned, it does not fully unroot.

With your scripts are you able to root and unroot at will and therefore have the best of both worlds (ie/ sky go working AND access to root when needed)?

If so could you please post both your root and unroot scripts as attachments!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] YLNdroid:
If a user is currently rooted, then I imagine flashing a stock firmware via PC ODIN will nullify the root privilege.

However, an expert user's confirmation is required to vouch for my claim! :silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Audio Oblivion:
I believe that is correct but what would be ideal for my own circumstances would to be able to root and unroot with scripts via CWM.zip

I'm sure i'm not the only one!

The only problem now is CWM.zip is no longer safe according to the following thread:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Another option if you are rooted... Supercurio's OTA RootKeeper. You can download it from the Play store (that would never happen on the iPhone now would it?!)

Might not work but worth a try.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
If you use Chainfire's CF-Root kernel it may be OK. He's disabled the ERASE flag option so it 'should' be safe and comes with CWM.

The thread is in the dev forum somewhere (too lazy to find it for you).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ShonkUK:
By the looks of it its only a risk using cwm.zip for erase commands

and none of my zips have them

so as long as you stay away from erasing partitions it should be good?

Wiping with cwm.zip is probably the biggest risk but from what i understand a vulnerability has been found that introduces a possible brick risk with any command executed using the method... probably only a small risk for rooting but unsafe is unsafe.

Hello everyone. I'm on stock rooted FF18 one click rom and the thing that has always frustrated me more than anything on Android 4.0 was not being able to watch embedded flash video. I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this issue but I have found a fix. I still have flash player installed but I also download an app called Flash Player for Android which allows me to take flash videos on certain websites and view them in es file explores player rather than watching them through Adobe flash player. All it does is take the video I couldn't watch normally and automatically change the format on the webpage. Even if u don't experience this issue its still kinda cool to have different options to play videos. I don't know about u guys but it was really frustrating not being able to watch my favorite Pron categories the way I used to lol.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Crafty77:
I guess this isn't SG3 specific, so if I should post elsewhere please let me know.

Phone is stock, not rooted.

I used an app called "unrar free" to extract the content of a rar file. I realised afterwards I'd extracted it in the wrong place, so deleted the extracted files, most disappeared but one can't be removed, ES file explorer refuses to remove it and wont rename it either.

The file name includes the character è, I think this is the cause of the problem as this character appears to be ® - I think unrar free screwed up when it created it.

The file is in a folder I have full access to, so if ES file explorer can't delete it, what can ?

Thanks

[HTC One X] death__machine:
Hey guys,

I tried searching on google but to no solution.

The problem is when I switch off all forms of data except cellular coverage, my location changes to a City where I'm not at. I went to that place maybe thrice since I got the phone.

My location in Maps, Weather or even location saved along when I take pictures will be that other/wrong location.

Its easily fixable by just starting one of the data services, but why should I even face it in the first place.

Its happened on all ROMs and wipes don't fix it. Done a full wipe twice from cwm.

My GPS works normally when I'm using maps, it takes about 30 seconds to get a lock on my location.

Any workaround or solution or fix? (except for not keeping data switched on all the time)

Thank You.

Cheers.
[HTC One X] tkolev:
Location without GPS is online service. I hope that answers your question about "fixing" it.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
There's three things at play in plotting location: 1) GPS, 2), aGPS, and 3) Geo-location

GPS is the onboard chip functioning alone to pick up satellite signals and lock on them. You can test how well your GPS chip alone works by putting the phone in airplane mode and rebooting it.

All aGPS does is use a wireless signal (Wi-FI or cellular) to help the chip get its first lock faster. Once lock is established the chip is on its own.

From Wiki...

"Assisted GPS is a system which can, under certain conditions, improve the startup performance, or time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of a GPS satellite-based positioning system. It is used extensively with GPS-capable cellular phones as its development was accelerated by the U.S. FCC's 911 mandate making the location of a cell phone available to emergency call dispatchers."

Geo-location uses wireless signals alone to approximate position. Devices w/o a GPS rely on this for location based services.

From Wiki...

"Geolocation is the identification of the real-world geographic location of an object, such as a radar, mobile phone or an Internet-connected computer terminal. Geolocation may refer to the practice of assessing the location, or to the actual assessed location."

Once the chip locks, it memorizes the position of the satellites. So if you had your wireless on to get first lock and then turned it off the chip is still using the satellite locations aGPS helped it find. If you want to test the performance of your chip itself reboot it in airplane mode. Download GPS Test from Play. It'll give you a much better picture of what's happening with your phone. I just tried it on mine and indoors it locked and got down to 15’ accuracy in less than a minute. Conditions affect performance but, at least outdoors, yours should do as well or better than mine. If it doesn’t, it’s a h/w problem.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Thanks, that was a very informative post.

Well I switched on GPS and put my phone in airplane mode and restarted. The Maps App keeps saying "Your current location is temporarily unavailable" and I can't figure how to use the GPS Test yet.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Okay, I did get a lock-on from the Maps and the GPS Test app. I went closer to my window lol :P. Now I'll see if my location comes up wrong.

Edit:Location came up accurate in weather.

Edit2:Location is accurate in a photo I clicked with everything off.

By accurate I hope you understand what I mean, when all the data goes off the phone should still think its in the place/location where it was when the data was on. Ii.e Surat in my case. But what used to happened before today(gps in airplane) was without data the phone will think its in Pune, which is a 12 hours drive from here.

I'm not the only one who's faced this, some say its a bug in sense :/

Anyways here's a thread I saw earlier

http://www.htconesource.com/forum/htc-one-x-discussion/1042-incorrect-location.html

The answers the guy gets are retarded.
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
To be sure, are you saying that when only on mobile data and relying upon that, you cannot get an accurate location down to 1 KM?

If so, this sounds like a software issue or a carrier issue.

If your GPS has poor reception then I would advise getting warranty repair. It might have the same issue as the Wifi antennas do.
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Yeah just so you know pure GPS is line of sight, you have to have a clear view of the sky to work (no clouds either).
[HTC One X] death__machine:
No no.

My location when all services are on shows up fine. But say I have a weather widget and all my data services are off, instead of showing the location detected last when data services was on the widget and other settings will show another city.

I'll explain it with an example.

Lets have a hypothetical country with all the letters as its cities.

I stay in 'S' at present. I have visited 'P' and 'M' a couple of times but I'm back to 'S' now. On the occasion that my data services switch off, intentionally or because of weak coverage. Instead of showing 'S' as my location in the weather widget, app and geotag the phone will show 'P' which I had visited days ago.

Hi all,

It's that time of the year. My Omnia 7 samoled screen decided it would be fun to start burning from the inside.

I would like to recover the data which is easier said than done but am in need for some clever advice.

The phone itself still functions but doesn't charge which is an issue I can deal with right now. Pics & Videos are already backed up since the USB port still works for pulling data.

Now.. my issue is that my Shazam DB file is very dear to me. The phone is rooted with Heathcliffs tools if it helps (not the newest).

A few homebrew applications came to mind but nothing solid.

tl;dr

How do I manage to pull the shazam DB file from the device without a working screen?
