Do the full wipe every flashing custom rom..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
PEOPLE DON'T EVER FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!! :mad:

Your advice will add to the many victims of getting the Super brick bug

Before you advice something (like a full wipe on every flash), PLEASE THINK first before you ever suggesting others to fully wipe their device on every flashing of custom ROMS...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little-vince:
well it's not entirely incorrect.

correct me if im wrong, but the majority of custom roms out there have cap_erase removed which means people can factory reset safely.

the bricks usually occur if people wipe on a stock samsung rom, where cap_erase ISN'T removed.

so if you're on a custom rom, and you flash another custom rom, assuming both roms had cap_erase removed, it shouldn't be a problem right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
You haven't done a lot of reading have you? Look for it in the General section, especially topics for eMMC and 'Entrophy'

Wiping be it on custom or stock doesn't guarantee any safeties at all. even using CMW is a no no. If your custom rom has an infected kernel (that comes with it), fully wiping after flashing your phone ensures you a deadweight one after that.

It only takes one single full wipe to brick your phone, and it takes a load of hell to fix it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahrie12:
I'm sorry I often do this and there is no problem...

If u do it with stock kernel of course u will get superbrick..

But if u do it with safe kernel then superbrick can be avoided..

N many people had did my advice n nothing get superbrick..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
how do you generalize your advice to all the people your giving it? do you ask for their kernel first before telling them to fully wipe their NOTE?

Your playing a russian roulette dude. People would misunderstand your advice generally. There a lot of custom ROMS out there. Most often than not, its carrying an infected kernel. People who just scans and see your advice would tantamount to follow it to a tee (w/o telling you the full details of their kernel) and WHAM!! they get their phone brick!

There are already to many people asking help here... PLEASE don't add it more with your senseless advice!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahrie12:
did you ever try flashing the custom rom? did you ever see the kernel of what's recommended to do the flashing?

For someone who just registered this month, you surely got a lot of nerve!.

I've flash a lot of custom roms before you ever had gone here in Xda-dev dude. Don't divert me into clicking on that link.. been there done that. get it?

My advice to you is, before you try advising people for their problems. READ FIRST in all the stories and forum threads on our beloved Note. You will gain infos on what's causing it, and how to resolve and prevent it from ever happening it again.

So tip of advice, don't go all around the forum in advicing people to fully wipe their phone after flashing any roms. STOCK or CUSTOM.

Person's like you are the causes on why there are still people getting the bricks on their phone. Crappy advice and stuff!

Geez!!

Thanks for the advice john. I'm running back on stock. Any idea on how long will cleanote take to boot ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerraBuzz:
What's wrong with the advice...? OP just flashed one of the custom ROM, and he should already read the guide including how to root, to use a safe kernel to flash, and wipe procedures...

The only thing he didn't do yet was just wipe data, and this guy here was just trying to help by reminding him, which is not wrong...

I believe you concern about others, but why should you going mad? If his advice was not perfect why don't you give a better advice rather than bragging yourself and insulting other member just because he is 'younger' than you...? :confused:

Again, for his case, a full wipe is necessary and:

He did it anyway... :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Hi Akilesh,

Yeah, no problem. Regarding your cleanote rom q, hmm that I'm not sure how long it takes to boot though. You may need to address that question my friend to the appropriate Cleanote note thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1716088

I've ended my quest in flashing custom roms already... eversince this brick bug came and wreck some lives off some people.

By the way, always make sure whenever you need to wipe things, it is better you have a safe kernel installed beforehand.

Like I've said getting the Super brick bug is just like playing a russian roulette. You'll never know when and how you got the brick, so take necessary precautions on how to prevent it

.

Cheers!

I am not belittling the guy, It just irks me that he wants to shove on his irrelevant advices, not knowing fully well the full repercussion on his advice. Again, Entropy and a lot of seasoned experts have already made their stand on it. NEVER WIPE your phone in any flashing you do. Lest you get brick. That guy never even asked more than what he had said... WIPE YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING CUSTOM ROM!. Seriously can you believe that??

Yeah he did wipe it but he was already using a safe kernel. My point is, don't just blurt out to people to wipe anythng without asking them some additional necessary infos. It is okay to wipe and I'm not against that (if your using a safe kernel already). What I am against is the wrong notion in giving advices to WIPE your phone PERIOD.. Without even clarifying other infos at hand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akilesh:
And john i second your point in here. His intention is not bad but he just missed a point der. But anyways since all is fine it is good to go. And cleanote 5 is coming up. So hope it reduces the first boot time. I also had a post in the forum but without of a much help.

I also want to flash cleanote rom and i am currently waiting on an updated version of that rom with the latest notecore kernel. I'm on stock 4.0.4 also and will use the PC Odin method to flash notecore kernel to root and then triangle away for binary reset. Then finally go with mobile Odin/PC Odin to flash the rom. After hours of reading threads, this seems to be a safest way to do it.

Hello,

I have the LG990, I tried to use the usb tethering function but failed.

I am using windows 7. I installed LG united USB driver 3.7 from LG websites.

LGUnitedMobileDriver S4981MAN37AP22 ML WHQL Ver 3.7.2.exe

Then I enable the USB tethering feature on the andriod 2.3. I can see the USB NDIS network adapter in "device manger" of windows 7.

Then I use cmd to ping the ip of the phone, and can get reply.

But when I tried to ping "google.com", through this network, I cant get reply.

My phone connect to internet through wifi. But I dont think this matter as long as I can use the default browser in android to connect to internet. Am I right?

I wonder if I miss any steps, or LG990 in fact, does not support USB tethering.

Please kindly help me if you know how to solve the problem, thanks a lot!

FYI, I went to LG CS in HK, they told me that they did not have any OS with windows 7, they suggested me bringing the computer to their office or format the computer and try again....

thanks a lot for help and suggestion.
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Do you have installed any personal firewall?

Please follow below steps:

-reboot PC

-keep on pressing F8 key after black scrern appear

-select safe mode with networking

-login Administrator user if present otherwise what else user you found

-try USB Tethering now and report here whether it works:)
[LG Optimus 2x] manhon:
thanks for your suggestion, i tried to use" safe mode with networking", but same situation as "normal mode".

Btw, I also changed the property of LGE androidnet ndis ethernet adaptor -> advanced -> " set the physical NIC to promiscuous mode" to enable, but still failed to use tether.

Also, the "tether" network appear to be" local only".I dont know if I need to fix the IP or DNS of the "tether network" to something?

Also, is that something wrong with my kernel version or LG default rom did not install right package in kernel?

Thanks for advice!
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
No it should work with stock rom also.

Which main connection you are trying to tether? Wifi/3g?
[LG Optimus 2x] manhon:
Wifi.

also, is it correct to set " " set the physical NIC to promiscuous mode" to enable?

thanks for reply and suggestion.

I think you'd be better off trying out a navigation app that has a different scheme. I'm sure in some of them you can change it to your preference.

Try asking for the datasheet or implementation notes.

Hey everyone,

Here's my current specs:

LT15i

4.0.4

2.6.32.9–perf

BuildUser@BuildHost #1

Mooded ICS 90.2

Bootloader unlock allowed: no (so I purchased a code)

Rooted and running CWM

So as the title says, I am about to unlock my bootloader but had some questions first. Ultimately my goal is to unlock my bootloader so I can flash the ArcKnight kernel and run the updated Mooded ROM.

1) After unlocking the bootloader, will it still be rooted and have CWM?

2) Do I have to keep the SD card in when I unlock the bootloader or can I remove it to prevent it from being wiped?

3) What are the exact steps I should take from a to z? (I have read tons of guides but most don't start off with my above settings/situation)

So far I have backed up via CWM, Titanium backup (for apps), MyBackup (system settings) and have also saved all my SD card contents on my PC.

This is how I thought this would go, and I could be very wrong lol so please correct me if I am.

Make backups with everything above, unlock bootloader, restore all backups (first the one from CWM, then Titanium, then MyBackup), flash kernel, update ROM, done?

Thank you!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrModMan:
yeh

SD card has nothing to do with the actual phone itself, so yeh you can remove it (i think data wont be wiped)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_42:
Thanks for the reply.

Can anyone else confirm what he has said (about retaining root, not needing the SD card plugged in when unlocking bootloader, etc)

I have seen that video before and wanted to ask a question. I have been told all I need to do is insert a "non accepted" SIM card in the phone, restart it and it will prompt me for a code, I enter my unlock code and that's it. Is the method in the video just another way of doing this? Any advantages/disadvantages?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
1. Yes.

2. It's irrelevant.

3. Reread the guides.

Restore everything after you've updated/installed a ROM.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panicc.co:
The process of unlocking the BL does not affect kernel, Rom, sd card, data.

After you change Roms and kernel you will have to restore.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_42:
Hey guys,

So I have run into a bit of a snag, sort of at a stand still. Bare with me as I am still pretty noobie to this whole thing.

My phones status is Bootloader unlock allowed: No. So I thought doing the method of inputting another SIM card into the phone and entering an unlock code would unlock my bootloader I appear to be wrong, did I only just unlock my SIM? When I go and check the status of it again the phone still says Bootloader unlock allowed: No.

So I figured I would attempt to move forward anyways. I am following all the steps in the guides but I cannot get the phone to boot into fastboot mode. When I plug the USB in I am holding the menu button. After a few seconds the LED does go blue for a few seconds but then it turns off and goes orange and takes me to the charging screen (as if you were charging your phone while it was powered off)

I have tried booting into fastboot mode via X-Parts as well as Flashtool with no luck. I am assuming I have failed to unlock the bootloader but am sort of stumped.

I am still searching/learning as we speak, but feel free to point me in the right direction! What am I doing wrong here guys?

Thanks again :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamEsRock:
If you changed the SIM, the code you bought was for SIM unlock, not unlock bootloader.

To unlock bootloader you need a dongle (I think it's called SETool) or something of that sort. There are people who have them and unlock BLs for a certain amount of money. Try contacting them.
