Hello forum

last night i got a galaxy note and finally made my move from ios. I could not resist the gorgeous display. I had been using ios since early days with jbreak ofc.

Now my friend installed a custom rom for me Criskelo on ICS 4.0.4 or smthg like that. I freaking hate it its laggy and buggy and i dont know why battery drains like crazy.

I really want to rwmove this os and hard reset and go back to the "out of the box" ICS 4.0.4. Please if uou know of any step by step guide kindly lik it here. I am starting to hate android and mias the stability of my ios so much but i really hope its because this rom is buggy and would like to give android another chance. Thanks a lot team..

Download Samsung kies and install it to get drivers

Download Odin(you can find it all around the forum)

Download latest stock ics(android 4.0.4) from www.sammobile.com extract it (its zipped) (firmware section search for n7000)

Put your phone in Odin mode volume down+power+home buttons all together

Once you get the warning press volume up to enter odin mode

Make sure kies its closed and connect your phone to the pc and wait until all the drivers gets installed

After that open odin and do not change any check box

Make sure a yellow block turns on in the top left corner of odin indicating it recognizes your phone

Press PDA and put there the file you downloaded (and extracted) from sammobile.com

Press start and that's it.. Wait until it finishes and you will have a full stock phone

Edit: Hey make sure that you have at least 50% battery before you go through this

The latest android now is ice cream sandwich(4.03&4.04). It has a bug, when you performed a factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid( backup&restore ) it will corrupt your pit files and the result is they called superbrick, the only remedy is to replace your mobile board.

The only safe solution for it now is to flash safe custom kernel( the stock rom has a stock kernel inside) like speedmod k3-12, notecore v12, and goku to be safe from doing factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid ( backup&restore ).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msedek:
This its not completely true... Don't go around the forum spreading fear to users...

Samsung already stated that if you are completely stock brick won't happen and there's no evidence of it as entrophy could not prove it to Samsung
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bebseh:
Thanks a lot for the info , do i need to do factory reset first on my phone before all these steps ?

ALso what is the super brick thing everyone is talking about and how do I "risk" it ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
If your in stock rom there is less percentage of brick, but still your in danger. Before i dont believed just like you that stock rom is susceptible of being brick, then i read some brick there note on stock rom, i change my mind.

I dont spread fear, it is documented here in xda. Better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bebseh:
If all these steps complete successfully will my phone still be "rooted" ?

And I believe it should solve my battery drain issues along with bugs and lags right ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
Soft brick. Flash rom or reboot will fix it

Hardbrick. Samsung repair center(expensive) or jtag( not expensive) will fix it

Superbrick. Only samsung repair center(expensive)

What does flash kermel and flash rom mean ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:

Flash kernel or rom. To change your kernel or rom or to install new kernel or rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
It might not sound right, and I understand you are new, but just like learning a new skill, rooting any Android device requires some amount of self-reading. People are helpful here but if you know the basics, you will be in a much better position to decide what's good for you and understand the instructions.

Android inherently treats all processes, including the touch interface, with the same priority. iOS treats the touch interface as a priority process, so Android might feel a tad laggy, but the benefits of using an Android device are way more than using iOS, which you can realize only after using the Note for around a month.

One of my friends switched to the Note from an iPhone, after using her iPhone since the first one, and she is enjoying the Note, as are many.

Criskelo's ROM is actually one of the fastest and most stable on this ROM, so it seems you have some unusual issue that's ruining your experience. Always try watching a video on YouTube of the ROM you are considering to flash, so you know how it looks and feels before flashing.

Welcome to Android!

Criskelo 4.04 ICS LRK v11.2, LRK Modem, speedmod k3-12 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bebseh:
THanks for the info , yes I was told that Criskelo is the fastest and most stable but I dont know why for some reason it feels very laggy and drains battery like crazy. So I thought that maybe going back to stock ICS would solve the issue.

Lets say I want to keep Criskelo ... can I just go to Back up and Reset and Factory resset the phone ? is it safe? i dont care about the data and apps , ill have everything backed up and i can download again manually. but that might solve my lagging issues?

is it safe to safe to do a hard reset?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msedek:
It's safe from safe kernels lol.. Why don't you flash notecore, then factory reset?.. Notecore its a hell fast kernel and with over clocked version I'm getting 15/16 hours with 4/5 hours screen time.. And yeah notecore its a safe kernel

If you want a nice experience with your note I really encourage you to buy for a couple of bucks mobile odin.. Will make your life hell easier and safer

With mobile odin pro you can change custom kernels like changing your underwear without risking your phone and allowing you to try custom kernels with no yellow triangle.. Notecore and speedmod are the main kernels for tw roms

You can flash notecore and speedmod from cwm too though but for that you need custom recovery and a safe kernel wich criskelo already provided to your phone..

You gotta read a lot hehe
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bebseh:
I think I already have notecore ?

http://i46.tinypic.com/6yhdlv.png

ur right i certainly need to read a lot :) and i thought jailbreaking an iphone was a pain !!! :)

So is it safe for me to factory reset now ? It looks like I have NOtecore and CriskleROM v11

ALso for some reason Kies wont detect my GN in USB form.

I looked everywhere, tried reinstalling a zillion time, it wont do
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msedek:
Once you learn the basics you are good to go.. Erm yes you have notecore.. Download the latest release from his thread its v12 and yeah you are safe to perform a factory reset on your phone

Forget about kies on cuustom roms.. You only need it for drivers but nothing else... Heck not even being stock you need kies.. And if you want kies to detect your phone you gotta go settings/development /enable usb debugging

Edit: you need enable debugging

Battery was at 0% when I opened the box

No typical Android first-time welcome screen stuff

Gallery has a picture taken of a camera calibration test pattern

Dev Options had USB Debugging, Stay Awake, and Allow Mock Locations all checked.

Cannot set the Screen Lock>Slide

Serial number is reported as 11111111111111111

ADB also identifies the device as 11111111111111111

Several generic actions cause crashes, such as accessing Settings>Accounts and Sync

Browser crashes directly after opening

[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Hi,i'm not a developer and so far most of that soft looks like diagnostic tools but a dev should know better.As for using the tablet i don't know if it's a good idea to keep it (i would return it) mostly because of the serial number (have you checked the logs to see if the device try to communicate with Asus server?) and because is clear that such a device was used for testing so maybe it was an early sample...anyway it's your call.If you keep it you can try to root ,unlock and than install the custom recovery so you can do a nandroid backup before wipe everything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] quicknik:
I would root, try to unlock get recovery installed and take a backup and post it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ScottHW:
Return.... Nandroid

Thanks for the suggestions, that is basically what I was thinking.

I agree that this will most likely get returned. Just want to get all the goodies first.

I do think I'll have to return it. Too many screwy things going on here.

As for dumping, I thought the same lines a la Nandroid.

Of course, if I unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery, then I wouldn't be able to return it.... :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
IMO you've done your best to help the community so just return it and start enjoy your tablet. ;) Also i don't think that the tablet is a developement enviroment so it can't be such a valuable resource for devs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ScottHW:
Update and/or return

Glad to do what I can to help. I really appreciate those whose skills exceed my own, and do the dev work from which we all benefit.

Another way of saying that: I can't wait to get some sweet sweet CM up on this tab!

Only problem is... BestBuy doesn't have these in stock, which is why I had to order it shipped from BestBuy.com

Now I'll have to wait more days for another one to ship :(

I might try to "update" the software OTA, but I've read several other threads mentioning that OPEN_epad cannot be easily updated OTA.

I don't have any internet connection on this thing turned on yet, in case it tries to dial home and updates before I dump useful stuff, or gets remotely locked and/or wiped.

I'll flip on some wifis and see what System Update does for me.

UPDATE: System Firmware Update simply returns "There is no update available for your device currently." Guess I'll have to try harder to wipe away the OPEN_epad build.

Hello,

I've got the same problem with my tf300 than you had with your tf700.

I got a motherboard with open_epad-eng rom. I can't flash any rom.

It looks like a table without region code (SKU). Every tries throw a

What was your solution? How did you flash a stock rom?

Thank you!

I'm at my wit's end with this. It's only been on my One X, and only on Sense ROMs.

Every single time I open up Google Maps and tap the search bar, it waits, then kicks me out of the search bar, then I tap it again, it waits, starts loading my 'recent' list, then kicks me back out. After the second time, it puts my most recent search or destination into the map and then it "finds" me. Only after this can I finally search for a location.

I use this thing for navigation daily. I'm sick to death of playing this stupid game with my phone. When I open Maps, I want to enter a !@#%$% destination, then go there. I don't want it to tell me "No dude, I know better than you... Hold on for a few minutes while I pull this old location out of my ass. Wait... wait for it... wait... nope... little more... there we go! The place you have no interest in finding is now ready for you, sir."

When I've flashed AOSP-based ROMs, this has never been an issue... although the GPS (as well as cameras) seems to be fundamentally flawed in all the builds so far, or I'd be using them right now.

Any idea what I can do to stop this irritating nonsense or did the managers of Good Burger help write the Google Maps app?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] co.ag.2005:
I had this happen on my galaxy nexus as well... The only time it really does it is if I had something already searched for on maps, go away from maps for several hours (also loading other apps), then I go to to maps to look for something else... Maps is "fresh" and ready to go, I try to type a search, then it kicks me off the search bar and goes back to that other search result from several hours ago. Drives me nuts. I think it's the maps app because it always wants to find your location before you can do anything... And that's often after you have already tried to search for something
