Hi There,

My Galaxy Note I717D is currently on ICS 4.0.4 stock. I want to root it. I have read a lot and tried quite a few things counter keeps going up. CWM flashes fine but the phone won't boot into CWM after flash. It goes into the standard recovery and you can't select load from SD or storage. Can some assist me?

Thanks Agoattamer worked like a charm. I am now rooted. :)

Have you tried the Canadian based ROM its based on a telus build and has everything you need for telus I'm using it just with bell conversion and modem so far every one is liking that have tried it... Battery, modem, cpu run smooth and fast. Its in the development section could post down.... Hope this helps and good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dolphran:
I'm just an occastional lurker - forgive the n00b questions.

I've started getting OTA upgrade requests from Sprint to go to 4.0.4 ICS. I'm wondering how to proceed.

I've only flashed the phone once - I went to a fully stock EL29 w/ root, CWM, and the sprint hostpot fix (for 3G and 4G). The only reason I updated the phone was to get hotspot support. I'm otherwise very happy with the stock experience. It's been working just fine for me.

Now that ICS is officially here I assume that it is expected that I can upgrade without clearing my apps and data. This is important to me. I basically want to make sure I'm not taking any steps backwards. I either have to run something to make the OTA request go away, or actually upgrade to 4.0.4 and ensure that I still have root and hotspot support. Are there things that are broken in the 4.0.4 stock that are fine in my EL29? If they are significant, I may forgo upgrading and just try to stop the OTA upgrade message. Recommendations?

If I do decide to upgrade, should I do so in a way that uses CWM and keeps root and hotspot support at the same time, or should I accepts the OTA update and add back root and hotspot afterwards? If I go the CWM route, will I still get to keep my apps an data intact? Step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I've been using Apex since about a week after I got my N7 and as silly as it sounds, I'm glad they finally added the feature of the widgets and icons moving out of the way and auto-resizing when you're adding a widget/icon to the homescreen. Makes my life so much easier lol

I can't stand the new apex beta, it has the enormous dock bar like stock JB and even when you hide it and also hide the draw line, whenever you exit an app or app drawer sometimes the draw line returns. It's probably a beta bug but I prefer to have my app drawer button and search buttons the way apex 1.2.5 has it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] crazyscow:
ya same as above, i went back to 1.2.5 because i prefer the "tablet" mode.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Has apex added the issue to stay in "phone mode" yet, I found that it switched to tablet UI (where as nova doesn't) so had to use Nova on the N7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
I use tablet mode anyway. App tray and search at the top. Margin set to none. 8x7 layout. Feels great.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Just tried Apex, not nearly as good as GO IMO. I can't get Multi-Picture Live WP working with it. Have 5 screens set in both, but scrolls to a blank screen on each side of home, then to screen #2 and #4 (that should be #1 and #5). Transitions aren't as good (or at least not as many choices). Can't seem to set number of rows and columns in the app drawer. Sticking with GO.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] threi_:
Every launcher requires a different workaround for multipicture wallpaper. Either "ICS fix" or "disable vertical movement" will work.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
The ICS fix works (the other doesn't). After playing with it a while, I still went back to GO. The app icons (like N7 Player Widget) end up smaller on Apex than GO, and they are smallish on GO. GO also has more transitions I like. Both are smooth, so I didn't really see any benefit switching.

Was updating my phone, was running on Spazedog downloaded the wifi fix. Went to recovery to try and install aid it was successful. Clicked reboot and now it appears it's as useful as a brick.

Plugged it in no led activity. Press power button screen flickers on and shows the pink loading circle then shuts itself down. Tried to boot into recovery and it flashes and turns off again. Any ideas of what to try ?

[Desire General] dvsk69:
Try any of the following-

1. Pull the battery out and see if it boots.

2. Use your recovery to upload the latest build supplied (which includes your wifi fix) and flash it

3. Check your SD card is corrupted. Replace it, if its kaput

4. Mount your SD card thru recovery, and load a stable GB ROM and check if its working. You can flash a ICS ROM later after a clean wipe.
[Fascinate General] Dadstar:
You know how when you power off your phone when it's charging you will eventually see a big battery on screen showing that it's charging? Well, when I flashed a new ROM (DT's Helly Bean), i realized that that charging battery symbol does not work. When my phone is on, of course the battery symbol in the notification bar works, but not when the phone is off. It shows the big battery on screen, but it gets hung while loading the battery power. I know this isn't a bug in the ROM because that isn't part of the firmware or kernel. I was just wondering if there is any way to replace it either with a new one or altogether?
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
nah just a bug in newer roms that use MTD filesystem. it still can charge while off, just the battery won't show up.
[Fascinate General] Dadstar:

Selling SGP because you have nexus 7 is beyond my brain..so you will care a tablet and listen to music and stuff like that.Even i have 3G on my 7 inch tablet with 30 gb data plan i dont care it with me often .. and SGP 5 is always in the pocket.

1. The camera on a tablet is generally horrible.

2. People looks pretty stupid when they are trying to pick a picture with it :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
Even though a camera on a tablet is generally horrible (even our Players have horrible Res) and looks rather stupid when using it for daily usage, it acts more of a convenience, say when you really need to take an image at that moment or an app needs it for AR gaming.

Generally, devices without rear cameras are usually deal breakers for me. But so far, I am used to not having a camera on my Player due to lack of camera from our ICS ROMs.

So it really depends on ones usage.

Yeah but the majority of people who owns a tablet owns a smartphone too and the majority of the time, people have their smartphones with them. So it's not that necessary. Also I wouldn't like to pay 50$ for a crappy camera. I'm already happy with what they offer.

Depends on your use for it. The nexus 7 spec vs spec is obviously better than the Galaxy Player 5.0, however the 5.0 is way more portable. If you're like say a college student than I would get a nexus 7 sense you're not going to be moving around that much. The only draw back to me is the amount of space the N7 has.

Hello all! I am currently having an issue decompiling the framework.jar from MIUI 2.7.20 from the Atrix 4G. Now, before people get mad, YES I'm using the latest apktool, YES I've googled for an answer, and YES I've also tried using just baksmali itself.

It continues to decompile and the folders are all there, however after making my edits and recompiling the resulting classes.dex is about .4 MBs smaller, and when pushed into my phone I get FCs on EVERYTHING. I know there is SOMETHING that is not being decompiled and therefore it's missing. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thanks!

Hi.

I have SGS2, with resurrection jelly beans ROM.

I purchased a new 32GB SD card. but I'm not able to mount it to the device.

When I connect the USB, it appears on my computer as a separate storage beside the internal one,

and I can access it with ROOt Explorer.

I heard formatting it inside the device will help, but in settings-->Storage I do not have the option to format the SD card (despite f that it is detected in the settings). Any help is appreciated

JB ROMs are still in early builds (beta). You can expect few issues from them -camera lags and SD card support are common.

So I have seen a lot of threads about people complaining that that they have this issue, but not many threads on fixing the issue.

Last night I was playing jelly defense and when I went to put the tablet down, while it was still in my hand I heard a snap and then I put the screen back in.

I was looking at ifixit but wasn't able to find anything about how the screen is attached to the device. I was wondering if it would just be possible to stick some super glue or some epoxy/adhesive to keep the screen down.

Has anyone had any ideas or fixed it themselves? RMA'ing is just a huge pain.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altrikdout21:
There are definitely fixes out there, some may be temporary though. The ones I have seen are: clamp fix + overheating on purpose, tightening screws, washer fix, and the super glue method.

Personally, I just tried the washer method and it worked for me. Screen lift is gone (for how long?). Sorry I don't have the thread links, but a quick search should turn up a ton of results. Good luck!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
3 days ago I've ordered a brand new Galaxy S2 (Samsung CPU version) Right after ordering the S2 I've got brand new 3G SIM CARD subscription.

Placed the SIM inside of S2 and turned on the device after a full charge. Few hours later after it was charged the device got into "black screen" and rebooted it self.

I hoped its a one time thing but then later the same day and the next day it happened again. I've decided to reload a fresh ROM and hopefully it gets solved but even with the new ROM I had the same crash and self reboot two or three times during past 2 days.

Last night I've decided to try and pull off the battery for 2 hours and plug it back. Since then it didn't happened again for 20 hours approx.

However during my research I have found the following forum thread: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/342229-s2-keeps-rebooting.html it says about many people that had same problem some people had it right after they got S2 same as I did and some people had it after few weeks or year...Some people had it even after Samsung has replaced their main board/device.

The question here is following: What If it will happen to me again?

I don't want bring it to store and stay without a device for 2 weeks until they fix it. I dont think I want 2-3 days old product from Samsung to be fixed. I didn't paid for such expensive device to not use it after I paid for it a full amount. (The computer vendor store where I bought it, they have a paper on the wall says that mobile phones cannot be returned if turned on or opened and that lab service takes 14 business days if something needs be repaired, they can either repair or give refurb/used replacement after this 14 days.

Also, If it will happen again on my device, How can I have full trust back in S2 after I had this issue and was reading all this information at the forum?

Looking to hear your thoughts

Don't decide now, use it for more few days and try many rom and kernels that you can and atleast try everyone of them for one battery cycle or two. And if after this it happened again I think you know what to do!

okay so by now I have learned that it might not just be htcs fault but is most likely atts fault that were not getting the unlocked boot loader or the proper sources to be released

Why is att doing this? There's nothing positive for them or HTC in doing this

Is there anything we can do, does any one have connections with people in bigger companies that make this very public and sound like the huge issue that it is

Is there any else that we can do besides for that?

I think it would just be a good idea to brainstorm on wht to do to fix this dilemma

Source has been released except for the most recent updates. Those will be released eventually.

I doubt AT&T is going to budge on the locked bootloader because the number of people who really care probably represent about 1% of their HOX customers.

If you're intent on pushing, the place to start would be making a stink on AT&T's social media pages.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
If you guys really want to try, just go to small claims courts claiming that you were convinced that you had the ability to unlock the bootloader, and use Peter Chou's statement on unlocking bootloaders as evidence, and then say that you couldn't unlock it. If you lose, nothing happens to you. If you win, and a lot of other people win, AT&T is going to be bleeding money.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
I've never seen anything saying you couldn't sue AT&T. A Class action would be there to reverse their grip on a handset, which is HTC's flagship in North America (and arguably, the best phone out right now). It hurts devs more than anything.

We might, but anyone that is getting this phone now with the new update is screwed for a while. And it's not fair that they have to wait just because these companies are being dumb.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blessedswine:
its not HTC its ATT so that comment really didnt help. ATT wants the locked bootloader on all thier flagship phones. The dont want people to do tethering, and they want to be able to force you to keep that ****ty bloatware for the possible sales they would get from it. its flat out ATT greed that has them keeping the bootloader locked down. Unfortunatly right now HTC doesnt have the pull Samsung does to force ATT hand.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Then they better have the pull because people pay high amount of $ for their device and do not care whether they have the pull or not. Maybe htc should call themselves apple2 since all I read about them is giving devs hard time not releasing sources etc while on their webpage they claim to be dev friendly which is total bull****.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
This new software update isn't good. Patching the hboot, no root, no bootloader unlock. We shouldn't expect any new developers developing for this phone. AT&T sealed that deal for us when they release 2.20.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blessedswine:
yep and the att guy at the store updated my wifes before giving it to her and i asked him why he said they were told they have to do the update on all HTC One X they sell. i returned it and ordered from amazon hoping to get 1.85 on the phone. This was earlier today when she wanted to upgrade to the HOX too.

Now, who's coding the HBoot? It can't be AT&T, can it? I would think it would have to be HTC because no one at AT&T is smart enough to do this...

Edit: As well, just checked HTC's site... the rom is listed for manual download. Perhaps a dev can reverse engineer it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:

Has anyone who's taken the ota and kept root confirmed which partitions are/aren't WP?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
I hear ya man. ****, I should have got an iPhone. At least I could pester Siri about her hot sister or ask advice on hiding bodies. Even iPhones are having better luck getting unlocked.

Regardless, I do love this phone. Probably the best phone since the Nexus One.

Like you said though, just a matter of time, and, will we have bootloader unlock access? I'm going to be hopeful. For anyone who buys their device with 2.20 loaded, it would really suck to not be able to at least achieve root.

Question, gunny... do you know (assuming one has root and TBU), is there a way to freeze the updates? Is their a system app or process that could be frozen so that OTA's never show again?
