Recent minor ICS OTA works well with 'method 2'

I rooted my Note 10.1 using method 2 (odin -> clockworkmod ->su.zip).

Today I got the 75mb minor OTA (bug fixes and a few new features, still ICS) here in Australia. I was on the Telstra network at the time.

I simply accepted the update, the phone rebooted in to clockworkmod recovery, installed the update (although CWM reported that the signatures could not be verified).

I think the next 2 steps were important:

1. Select the option to allow clockworkmod to prevent a new recovery being flashed.

2. Select the option to allow clockworkmod to keep su (root).

The Note 10.1 booted back up, reported it had 'failed' (because of the fact that the recovery did not install). However in "About phone" I have the new build and kernel. I also have all the bug fixes and the new S note application (which has quite a few new features and fixes).

All my root-requiring apps work fine. It's still rooted!

I did a backup with clockworkmod straight after, so it's working fine.

So ... it was a complete success as far as I can tell.

Update firmware WALI5 and back to XXALI3

Hi there,

Just to let you guys (and girls?) know, that I just updated with Odin v3.04 from XXALGA to the latest Singapore firmware (XWALI5 / LBALI2) downloaded from SamMobile, did full wipe and re-rooted method 2.

Reset counter with TriangleAway v1.95

After that, I flashed back to XXALI3 (because the BALI2 only supports some Thai - US - UK languages) and decided it might as well be the deodexed ROM from Darkman_RS.

All went fine! :laugh:

The only thing I encountered, was that CWM 6.0.[something] doesn't seem to recognize 64Gb FAT32 microSD. I even tried mounting it manually, but without result. Obviously, I bypassed it with a smaller (2Gb) one.

Regards,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] zedomax:
yes will do thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] sovi3tss:
Hay im in Australia as well did you get the update via Kies or the software check on the note? still have not seen the prompt.

So just to confirm these two options are prompted when you install the update or do you have to go looking for them in CWM , sorry for all the questions.

Hy there,

I just tried to root my GT-N8000 (German Model) with method 1. Everything seemed to work well according to Odin statements. When rebooting I got an error message:

" did not matched sized '/system/csc/common/system/app/BooksTablet.apk' (No data available)"

When continuing the Reboot the system starts with repeating error message:

"S note stopped"

Now my question: How can I return to (original) Stock Rom ?

Thanks a lot for help!

go to samfirmware and download the stock rom for your device then flash it using odin as you've done with the rooted firmware

Maybe your ROM is restoring the original stock recovery.

Try and see if you have a file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and if so, remove the executable rights. Then re-install CWM as in method 2. This time it should stay.

Hi all!

I rooted my N8000 yesterday with the N8000XXALGA_N8000OXXALG5_PHE_RootGalaxyNote.com.tar via Odin. All went ok, got SU, installed Titanium backup etc.

Only issue I have is that Kies doesn't want to connect anymore. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling/drivers on the PC, but after a couple of minutes attempting to connect, I get the message "Cannot start service on the device. Please disconnect then reconnect the device"

Any ideas?

Sorry if answered before, couldn't find it
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] nishant.gaidhani:
This is because of the new update from samsung which overwrites the CWM at boot. Read the first post carefully, you need to uncheck the "Auto reboot" option in odin and then manually boot with Power + VolDown. This CWN installation is only one time usabe and every installation you do will increment the binary count. I've not tried anything to reset that counter but hopefully there is a way to reset that.

Just to let you know, did version 2 root on my N8010 (16GB wifi). Before I started the root I did a factory reset on Note 10.1, rebooten PC and shutted down unnecessary software from the taskbar (just in case...). Looked the video twice and then gave it a go. All went fine! After root I first did a full backup to SD card. Thanks very much for al your efforts Max!

Hi max

I am interested in rooting my SGN 10.1 with the Method 2 - ClockworkMod Recovery

I just want to know something please:

- I have stock rom for my country (Portugal - Samsung-Updates.com-GT-N8000_TPH_1_20120730093853_z5tos49knj.zip)

If I flash-back to this stock rom after rooting with Method 2, do I lost your CWM Recovery and get stock recovery mode again?

- Do Triangle Away already support SGN 10.1 - GT-N8000 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30249357&postcount=2

I think so but can you confirm please?

- You said once that with some Android sdk/linux knowledgment is easy to inject root (su) in a original stock rom.

Do you have the tutorial? I wanted to inject in my country firmware (Samsung-Updates.com-GT-N8000_TPH_1_20120730093853_z5tos49knj.zip)

Thanks!

No boot

I tried both methods of rooting on my note 10.1 US. I have also tried to flash back the stock recovery and the injected version. Either way all I get is the initial white screen that says Galaxy Note 10.1 and then its just a black screen. Ideas? Model GT-N8013...boots CWM or Stock Recovery Fine.

UPDATE: I found this, used ODIN and it worked. Applying updates (slowly) now.

UPDATE: Ran OTA for the latest update and it was stuck in a loop of updating (would never complete). Trying to flash via ODIN again.

UPDDATE/Fixed: Odin with this link and now all stock updating works. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] p4nts:
Similar story here I think.

Updated a US 8013 to UK/EU firmware which went fine.

It then picked up the OTA which I applied but it just kept on getting stuck @ 27% - tried powering down (expecting that it would be bricked)

but it just started up and got suck at the same point again.

Then put it back into download mode again and reapplied the pre-rooted firmware but it went up to 100% and then rebooted and started all over again;-(

I could get it back to download mode, but the updates would not complete.

Then flashed the US [L]H2 Firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847706 via odin

and then it successfully booted again - wihay - though obviously root is gone now.

I'm wondering if the problem with the OTA was down to the fact that I had un-installed some of the Samsung Stock Apps (*Hub etc)

Not that I'm addicted to shooting myself in the face :o but I then applied the OTA which was a very nervous 5 minutes.

This time I hadn't messed with anything, no unistalled apps etc, and I'm guessing I'm back where I started on LI3 ?.

Root worked, now Note is in Factory Mode??

Hi,

Hope someone can figure this as its wrecking my brain.

I got an 8010 (wifi only version) a few days ago.

Did the clockwork and rooting and it was all working fine, until..

Booted it up this morning and it flashed a message 'Unfortunately, Factory Test has stopped. Factory Mode is ON!!' and gave me the 'calculator' program for putting in service codes.

I've checked the efs folder and its blank, no files. (I do not have a backup, yes I know I'm an idiot)

I've since tried flashing a number of roms, including stock. None of which have resolved the issue.

When using the stock recovery it gives me an error about being unable to mount /efs

From google it appears that the efs folder is to do with the imei and other areas. As mine is wifi only version should I even have this folder?

The note appears to work fine with the exception of having a lock screen, power off options etc.

thanks

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] yamaha321:
RE

I CANT STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF BACKING UP. On that note (in caps so all see it), there are really not any stock rom's out there yet so make sure you have a backup of yours. I ran into various issues and got lucky I finally found one that would work. I thought I was so comfortable in the process (I have done many other devices) that I did not need a backup.....lesson learned. It took me an extra 4-5 hours because I did not take the time to make a backup.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] BrandoHD:
On reboot, there is a script that that re-installs the stock recovery, all you have to do is "uncheck" "Auto-Reboot" on Odin, flash the recovery and shut down the tablet by holding the power button for about 10 seconds, then hold volume up and power to boot directly into recovery

The tablet never rebooted, so that script never ran, you should have your CWM based recovery

CWM doesn't recognize ext SD

I've followed the Method 2 - ClockworkMod Recovery.

Everything was ok, except one thing.

In CWM I can't see my external SD (Sandisk 64GB Android Ultra microSDXC Class 10).

The same SD card is recognized and used with no apparent problem in the GNote10.1, but whenever I try to use it for my backup through CWM I receive the error message "can't mount backup path".

I made a search before posting this message, but I couldn't find a solution.

Somone says the problem is with the system file and that CWM doesn't like exFat and that formatting the SDcard as Fat32 is the solution (i.e. with this prog).

Anyway I have no SD slot nor an USB SD reader on my PC so that I can't use the prog to format the Card with Fat32 through my PC (is there an android app to format to Fat32 the SDCard directly within the Android system?).

Somewhere else I've read that CWM (6.0.1.1) doesn't support mounting an external SDCard yet.

So I'm stuck with this problem and can't find a way out.

I managed to make a backup on my internal SDCard but its size is rather big - 2.72GB - and I'd like to move it to the external SDCard and be able to restore it (just in case) from it.

But maybe someone (smarter than me) can suggest some solution or explain better what really is the problem with the external SDCard and CWM?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] sphere314:
Solved.

The problem was that the SDCard was formatted with exFat. Reformatting it with fat32 solved the problem.
