[Sony Tablet S] prince2phore:
yes of course, no luck :(

seems the chinese version of the market HiMarket is not replaced and I don't find a trace of the moded market after reboot, even though Aio says everthing went well...

I also tried copying it myself with root ES explorer, but even that doesn't work. It seems the chinese version lacks the google service framework as well, so I copied and installed it... no luck.

There are so many difference between the chinese and US ICS, I think the only way is to flash a new fm...

or wait until 4.0.4 so that I don't risk a downgrade, unless someone already found a solution to change a rooted chinese stock ICS to a US one ?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
You will need root but...

Region changer should work. Change to US then reinstall US zip...
[Sony Tablet S] prince2phore:
yes that's what I'm doing, I changed the region and got the zip (signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002)

now it's stuck because I need to change vendor prop and decrease the build # I guess.

I'll try that and let you know how this works, what could go wrong anyway ?

worst case I'll end up with US ICS unrooted and will root again with the new method that worked on my chinese 4.0.3 r1a

I'm using Aio 4.0 btw, and disable hack_recovery download from sites.google because the shell could not connect, I don't know why...

I was able to download it through browser and put it locally myself anyway. all the rest if ok until the bad sku #, so vendor prop change should do the trick !

can someone tell me exactly what values to change to be able to downgrade in the prop files (vendor/build) ?

if I mess up those files, do I risk brick my tablet ?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Vendor.prop change incremental to 111104048. default aio incremental, I think. This cant brick tab But the region.zip can, tread with caution. After that AIO should a work with region changer.
[Sony Tablet S] astromechdroid:
Finally a root method that works!

Perfect - Thanks so much! This method worked and now I have a ROOTED Sony Tablet S running ICS.
[Sony Tablet S] chipgoon:
Second that

Also worked for me! :good: Thanks
[Sony Tablet S] prince2phore:
I'm also done with my problems.

finally thanks to r5, I was able to upgrade to US version (since I changed my region with AiO).

then I rooted again and voila !

done with the chinese market !

thanks to the community here :)

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
all has been said in the original thread - you opened a new thread again for the same problem - even not waiting at least if someone responds.

This is the solution for all of your problems: http://j.mp/PLDHFm ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Oh please... you're phone is far from being bricked and this is the last time I will ever post in any of your topics.

You should really stop messing with your phone before you really do break it, also when you upgrade from a wildfire please buy a Nokia 3210 or something similar, you'll have no problems with one of those.

Listen carefully because I shall say this only once:

First amend your mtdpartmap.txt on your SD card so it contains only these numbers "240 40"

Boot into recovery and from mounts & storage wipe cache,data and system.

Go back to install from zip and flash the bravo recovery zip.

Go to advanced menu and reboot recovery.

*Go to backup and restore and restore your nandroid backup.

Go back to install from zip and flash bravo boot.

Then reboot.

*If the above doesn't work then start again with a fresh install of your rom to replace "restore you nandroid backup"

Now please stop spamming the forum, we aren't a technical support team here to answer every single problem you have, we dont owe you anything and you shouldn't do these things if you don't have a grasp of the basics first. Its a good job you don't have a galaxy s2 because you really would have a paperweight by now.

hi all

I have strange problem

I can't access bootloader I tried these ways:

A- vol down + power = nothing just boot normally

B- in fast boot usb: fastboot reboot-bootloader = nothing still in fastboot

C- in extended power menu : restart - bootloader = fastboot

excuse my poor english:o

please any help
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
dude you are in bootloader ..when connected to pc ..it will go to fastboot usb (infact fastboot is part of bootloader)

1.you need to remove battery ,then reinsert it then do volume down + power ..or uncheck the fastboot in settings->power then volume down + power

2.obvious ..as long as connected to pc ..it will be in fastboot

3.when connected to pc ..it happens
[HTC Sensation] thunder2007:
This is not my first time to install radio

I didn't ask before reading and searching

Still waiting help
[HTC Sensation] krazykipa:
Fastboot is/is part of the bootloader. From fastboot you have the 'Bootloader' option, which will load the HBOOT and thus scan for a PG58IMG.* on your SDcard.

/thread.
[HTC Sensation] thunder2007:
The funny thing is when I push vol down it scrolls up

When I push power nothing happen

In other word when I highlite bootloader then push power to choose nothing happen
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
If you want to go to bootloader only then.. Do this.. Type adb reboot bootloader from phone connected normally then once the coand is done.. Immediately remove the usb cable.. That will take you to hboot only :D
[HTC Sensation] thunder2007:
nothing same as before

by the way did anybody have this strange problem

I mean why the power not respoding while it does response if not in fastboot
[HTC Sensation] thunder2007:
ok I lost hope about bootloader

is the any way to install radio than the bootloader method

by fastboot for examble

this is Q&A section right. I mean not Q&Q

I am repeating my self here

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] illest_one_7777:
SO i found out how to manually get into Stock recovery on the t mobile version of the galaxy note.

1) While the phone is on just hold down Volume Down + power button for 10-12 second

2) When you feel a light vibration release the power button while still holding down button, and then just hold volume up button as well

( both volume up and down at same time) hold until it show manual mode.

once her it give me the same stock recovery options.

apply update through external sd

apply update through cache

and some other options i don't remember

" what i did"

i tried to flash Superuser binaries by pressing apply update through external sd. It seemed like it was about to go through then it said error invalid signature. When i tried to reboot the screen went completely black and my heart stopped. SOOOOOOO i waited a minute and then just held the power button and it booted up again "PHEWWWWWW"

Just wanted to share my experience as it seems there are alot of people trying to find more info.

Maybe this will help someone get closer to cracking the puzzle
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android Revolution:
I should be sleeping, since I need to be up in 4 hours for work, but I can't sleep because it's too friggin hot.

Did you have it connected to a comp when you tried this? It should force it into download mode then instead of going to recovery. Theoretically, then it would be a matter of using Odin to push custom recovery and SU.

Unfortunately, it's too damn hot to even fire up my computer, or I would be working on this right now. Well, if nobody has managed to get it by morning, I'll try to work on it while at work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
I rooted by installing the i717 cwm in odin, installing superuser for ICS in cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanpen:
Is it possible to get a nandroid of your rooted rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:

If it is the torrent one it did not have superuser permissions. I couldn't even use titanium backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] easyguy:
Get into recovery and flash this file in recovery, i got it from roto, here is his post on how to do it. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30081450&postcount=34
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] salmanaman:
comfirmed root!

i can confirm that if you have nandroided rotohammers tmobile dump then all you have to do is download the root superuser file and put it somewhere in your sdcard and manually go back to cwm (powering off device and pressing power vol up and vol down once you feel the phone vibrate let go of the power button but keep holding vol up and vol down until you see the cwm screen) then find the file you downloaded earlier flash and once done reboot the phone. "walla" your rooted on att galaxy note with a full Tmobile stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android Revolution:
I can confirm that the TMo Note is easily rooted, almost the exact same way as the ATT version.

These steps all assume you have rooted before and have ODIN installed on your computer. If you have never rooted and don't know what ODIN is, you will need to read up on both before attempting anything or risk bricking your phone. I, or any other member of XDA, am not responsible if you brick your device. Attempt at your own risk.

Step 1: Download Clockwork Recovery tar file found here, select ODIN at top of post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526431

Step 2: Download SU binaries (attached in this post)

Step 3: Open ODIN

Step 4: Connect usb to phone and computer

Step 5: Boot phone into download mode by pressing VOL DOWN+ POWER until phone goes blank and phone vibrates, then release POWER and hold VOL DOWN + VOL UP at same time. Once in download mode, select UP.

Step 6: In ODIN, select PDA and locate the recovery file. Then select Start.

When finished, close ODIN and copy the SU binary zip to the root directory of your internal phone storage.

Reboot into recovery by disconnecting phone from USB and following Step 5 above.

Install SU zip through CWR, you are now rooted. Reboot and update SU binary from app.

I know this can all be found elsewhere, I just wanted to place it in this thread for convenience

Thanks for the info Android revolution. When i press volume down and power to reset then hold volume down and up it goes into manual mode, i havent tried haveing the usb cable pluged in yet. I will try again when i get home. Hopefully this time will end in succes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
Yes, the USB cable does the trick. Found that out by accident myself after I didn't need to use Odin any more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daminux:
usb cable does the trick ???? no more odin ? oh man am confuseeee
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The at&t phone is put into recovery with the volume and power buttons, but the t-mobile phone needs the usb cable plugged in also to enter recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android Revolution:
No, you still need ODIN to install recovery for the rooting process. For that, you have to be in download mode on the phone, not recovery, and you can only get to download mode with the USB cable attached. I think my instructions in my earlier post may have confused some people. I'll have to clean it up later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
I think my post was confusing. Just follow Android Revolutions instructions.

Are there any cool things we can now do with root, other than tethering that I'm overlooking on the Note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
no matter how many times I read.....

@rotohammer- I did read all your posts very carefully.....Understood everything you wrote......must have read them 3 times.......

Now you can have a good laugh at my expense. I decided to try your nandroid back up flash thru my CWM...Abort- 3 times.....my brain kicks into think mode on why....what did I do different??? I renamed the file (to anyone else- DON't DO this!!) I figured it out within minutes, so not to frustrating.....I know...You're laughing....That's OK!!:p

Luckily I had the original files with th original name. :fingers-crossed: But flapps tool is now wiped (love that thing-you can get to cwm from your homescreen).....hmmmm... Thanks to salmanaman's above post, he reminded me how to get into CWM mode. Did I still have it????? Fingers crossed, held the right buttons, and HELLO CWM!:D

Found your file Rotohammer ( thanks again for dumping and sharing!), and flashed it and this time, it went fine. (Don't rename this original tmobile nandroid back up file!!)

May I remind you I read rotohammer's posts several times.....My phone booted, Hello t-mobile! :victory:

Yay!!!! So Titanium BU was denied root! Uh Oh...Where's my root???

Now my brain kicks in..... Rotohammer's nandroid is pure stock- no root. DUH! Yeah- I read your posts at least 3 times and I knew this!!!!!!

So If anyone makes this rookie mistake, don't loose your cool.....salmanaman to the rescue. Just flash the superuser file via CWM. So I did that, and it failed twice. So as I was tracking down alternate files I had squirreled away, I was playing with my note, Still supposedly not rooted, cause CWM said so, but when I went into my apps drawer, superuser was there.....Clicked on it and it was really installed...So if CWM gives you a no go message, check your app drawer anyway. I was rooted afterall.

Went into Titanium backup, and installed some user apps only, no data, and I also got my supersu, so I am double rooted!!!!lol:silly:

Moral of the story is even if you read, just remember what you read!!!! And if things don't work out the way you want, don't get PO'd- just work the problem- and search! The answer is always here somewhere.

My thanks to Rotohammer and Salmanaman- Sometimes it does take a village.....and that village is XDA!:highfive:

Just realized since tmobile note does not have it's own section yet, I need to tell you some info.

I have an ATT note, using t-mobile monthly 4g. Now I have the tmobile stock 4.0.4 rom with all tmobile's stuff- some I will probably delete- and the blaze or sg2 modem(can't remember which one)- anybody know how to find it????

I was getting better data with flapps ucle2 rom and myblaze or sg2 modem(can't remember which one), but with the same modem and the tmobile rom I am getting decent dl speeds- 5-7mbps, and crappy ul speeds of .1 to .3 mbps.

Thanks to Rangercaptain who solved my mystery. When I went into about phone and the baseband was unknown, he told me blaze modem does this. So I must have the ileet blaze modem!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Interesting. So what version is your t-mobile rom and kernel now before the update? 4.0.4/3.0.8?

The update.zip file is saved to a /cache directory. You can copy and paste to your external sd card. If its a ten minute process it won't be any major change. Any idea what is updated?

Also the update is 29.03 Mb I'm not sure what the changes are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Since those are the latest rom/kernel I'm gonna guess t-mobile bloat. The only system possibility is modem because of their continual migration to LTE. Only a guess. Someone with knowledge please jump in ans correct me so an unfortunate rumor doesn't start here.

Make sure to make a nandroid backup.

The thing is that when I go thru with the update it doesn't install.... I want it to, but it reboots to cwm and doesn't install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] easyguy:
We will have to bother rotothammer again, as he is the only one with the original recovery, he will need to run the update and do another nanadroid backup. Or anyone with the original t-mobile, do the update and do a nandroid backup and please post it here for us.
