uh... no you don't. You don't lose anything if you just root. As stated before, rooting does not wipe anything but unlocking your bootloader does.

Lol probably not but I'm pretty sure it will prevent your personal data on xda from being overwritten by one of our mods.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryudo0:
Hi guys,

I just flashed criskelo rom to my phone, but I tried to do a hard reset using the code (*2767....) and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen (SAMSUNG). I've waited a long time already, left it over night and nothing.

Also I tried to recover the back up I made with CWM, but I'm again stuck on boot screen...

Any ideas on what I can do??

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winbyte:
go to recovery, do a data reset and wipe cache..hope this helps..worked for me a few times.:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryudo0:
Already tried data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wip Dalvik Cache. Still not working :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winbyte:
have you tried flashing to the stock rom using Odin?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arachnid92:
Try either flashing a stock firmware through Odin, or go into recovery and format /system in addition to wiping data, cache and Dalvik, and install the ROM zip again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryudo0:
OMG THX...

I just flashed a stock firmware through ODIN and it's ALIVE!! Thanks...

(before i flashed on ODIN I restarted my laptop and it was stuck on BOOT... its like a curse omg... i had to go to safe mode to make it work again...)

Its all working now thanks

EDIT: Well... i rooted the phone again, flashed the rom, but this time I tried to make the wipe cache and factory reset through the CWM (volup+home+power), but I got stuck on boot screen again.... Guess I'll have to stay with the rom but without wiping it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arachnid92:
If I remember correctly, Criskelo ROM does not require you to wipe anything if you're coming from a stock ROM (it does everything through the install script). So just install it and live happily ever after :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntgdh:
getting stuck on the boot screen is normal...i did twice already while flashing new rooms...usualy for forgeting to wipe. reflashing the stock rom always works.

What is the best app out there for tweaking cpu and stuff? Tegrak, extweaks, setcpu or what?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bwad7:
I've used antutu CPU master in the past but nowadays the ROMs I use have that function built in so there's no need for a 3rd party app. Anyway, I liked antutu bcuz u can tweak the scheduler as well as the CPU and governor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Extweaks is pretty good. No-frills gets the basic job done.

Tappin' Typin'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Well. Depending on what ROM I'm running. I use the following

SetCPU

Voltage Control

Pimp my CPU

Tegrak Ultimate

ExTweaks

Out of all of them. ExTweaks has the most options but it is kernel specific. For just undervolting and adjusting the clock speed and governor and such I personally use SetCPU if the kernel supports undervolting and if it doesn't I use Tegrak Ultimate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I can't get setcpu to work on stock. Causes my phone to reboot as soon as it goes to sleep. I overclock while in sleep mode but nothing crazy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TBurt:
Tegrak Ultimate gets my vote.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
I've used tegrak, setcpu, and voltage control. I like the voltage control interface better.

I have rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM10, and then flashed the stock ROM. I had trouble downloading the ROM from samsung-updates.com, and found a page with a different link to a file of a different name, but a similiar size. The file name is:

HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5

I'm curious, has anyone else used this file? Is that the correct file to use? When flashing back to stock rom with that file, do you also get the locked bootloader, the original recovery, and lose root? It seems like it does, but wanted to confirm. Do I still need to flash the bootloader as provided in this post:

Click link and sig and follow section 6...questions are answered there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] docdockstader:
I tried the link in section 6 and it completes after only 5 meg. Question on the kernel, if I didn't flash a new kernel when flashing CM10, did I screw up, and do I still need to flash the stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
Cm installs a kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] docdockstader:
OK, and the stock flash doesn't? Cool, thanks. How about ROM manager restore, does that backup and restore the proper kernel?

No but section 6 of the guide does...link fixed btw!

I have had very poor experience when I sent my phone, SGN, for a service, through my network provider. My phone was replaced with a refurbished phone that its back cover was damaged. Since I'm returning this phone I cannot use it until the matter is resolved, be it by litigation or other means.

Have you sent out your phone for a service before either for the issues XDA members have already extensively covered or for something else? If so, please in short describe your experience in this thread. This thread is created specifically for Samsung Galaxy Note users. Thank you.

Polite notes to the members;

- Please don't use this thread for any technical discussions.

- It is your consumer right to break your warranty and not requiring it. For instance, you wish your Samsung Galaxy Note to have a working eMMC (none defective) before voiding your warranty to use your own chosen ROM.

A polite note to the moderators;

I have checked and there were more threads about Rooting, eMMC bug, and Screen Issues that are still open and active than about warranty experiences.

I had a green tint on my screen after ics update on my note.. After 3 weeks I went to my service center and they gave me a new one

After that bought a note for my wife and while ota upgrading to ics and with the charger plugged in... Some kind of short circuit happened and the screen went crazy...

Rebooted the phone and had some artifacts... The next day I went to a different service center and they gave me a new one as well...

You might be unlucky on that matters

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CSharpHeaven:
Thank you for your inputs. To help to create a better understanding I would appreciated if you could provide more details please.

- The replaced phones were brand new?

- Were the repair services Samsung authorised?

- Did the new phones were given with Sansung-Made boxes?

As with the OP of the thread that was closed and I the repair services acted with deception. Nothing to do with being unlucky.

My advice for the UK users is that not to use their mobile network providers as they will be worst off, especially if there was further problem with the service itself. It seems UK mobile providers use their own warranty programs which is less in favour to the customers and they do not use manufactures authorised services. Along with the recycling program that they run repair is redundant and replaced with refurbished program. This allows them to make handsome profits from both consumers and the money they charge the manufacturers for the allege 'fix/job'.

No one in this system is willing to take responsibility if the customer is unhappy with the refurbished phone. In such cases a complaint letter has to be written with escalation request to the highest in the company. If the matter still is not resolved then litigation is the final solution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
I use samsung centers only..... Yeah In both cases a technician tested the phone in front of me then they come with a Brand new phone samsung original box sealed... The sticker said do not accept this device if the seal its broken etc etc... I opened the boxes and new phones inside... They gave me a new warranty with the new phone' s serial number and that's it.

Edit: well I'm my wife's case her phone was white and they didn't have the white model so they gave me a black one.. So my wife took mines and i got the black wich now I like more xD

This its the last one I got and i opened the seal you can see in the picture
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CSharpHeaven:
Thank you for your reply and the screenshots. I've been trying to get my old phone back from the repair people to send it to Samsung without a success so far.

I have previously talked to Samsung UK. The first two operators demanded to get all my details before answering my queries and insisting that was Samsung's mandatory policy. Of course, I refused to believe that. The third person said creating a customer account was optional at this stage and the previous two were wrong. They assured me if my phone was beyond repair Samsung would give me a brand new phone and also assured me of their excellent service.

However, I'm pleased you already had a good experience and I don't wish anyone else to go through what I have been through in the past two weeks. This problem might go for another two weeks or more if my mobile provider refuses to give me a brand new phone plus a formal apology.

No Such a thing as Warranty. You are responsible for your own Damages. LOL

Down Here, Phones from samsung retailer cost about 30% more of the outside price.

I always buy from third party vendors.

Funny thing is, My friends who bought from Samsung Retailers at a higher price has more problems than I do.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
If you don't have warranty and you are not going on details on how/why your friend who got his device from samsung has 'more troubles' than you... Then you are not contributing to OPs topic..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SuperMane:
I had a really bad experience when I gave my phone to service centre in India. I used a dd command to repartition internal sd and got a superbrick. When I went to ssc in Mumbai their guy did some formal inspection to see whether the device was tempered in front of me. He had all the tools to open the back panel( which is below the battery ) infront of him but no he opened it with his bare teeth. When I shouted he just gave me a bland look. Now my phone is working fine but now I am facing another. The phone always stays in charging state. I dont even have the time to go to ssc now and they take like a week to fix it...:mad:

They need to improve alot.

The very next day i got my note,i broke my ear phones and i managed to make them believe that it was a damage from samsug and got a new one

Later,after 3,4 months,i got my phone bricked.I followed the pit file method and managed to make it work.Cleared flash counter and went to SSC and said i lost some internal storage

The technician said its a firmware problem and firmware update will clear the problem and he asked whether to update it to 4.0.4

I said to update and it once again got bricked.Actually he got feared as it was bricked in his hands.He tried many ways to make it work but nothing worked

Finally i got my motherboard replaced:D

And now,once again i got my ear phones damaged

But i dont think they will do it again for me

Edit: I got my ear phones replaced:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CSharpHeaven:
Update...

I have finally given a brand new phone by my network operator after being left without my phone for nearly a month.

Interestingly, the phone [SGN] had ICS 4.0.3 out-of-box and the newest dated battery I have ever seen. The phone was sim unlocked as well with no bloatware from the NP. I upgraded it to 4.0.4 as soon as I got home. However, the quadrant score is very low on this phone, normally around 3400. I used to get over 4000 on second or third benchmark run.

Don't forget to go to Samsung directly if you live in the UK, you would be better off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antique_sonic:
Congrats, man !

:)

It is always advisable to go to samsung direct.

As the network operator company, they will go back to the same sources also.

So, rather than go one round from the network operator, better do shortcut to Samsung.

Always faster, and better service.

:highfive:

PS :

It applies here too. Samsung service center is always act faster and better than the network operator.

i also requested them to carry out the job in front of me to which, they obliged

Samsung service in my country(india) sucks..

Here Samsung sells phones ranging from rs1000to rs36000

When my note had a problem with the s-pen I went to the local service center and there were around 10–15 ppl over there trying to get their issues resolved..

When I approached the help desk they gave me a token number and told me that I would have to wait for 1-1.5 hrs.. The worst part was that my phone costs rs36000

and they asked me to stay in line with some jobless douchebags who were trying to get issues resolved for their phones which cost rs1000-3000

I left the service center since I had better things to do rather than wait for an hour..

I purchased a new s-pen which solved my issue and I've decided never to buy a Samsung phone ever again.. Now I'm happily waiting for my iphone5 to get delivered from USA :D

Samsung India (Mumbai) experience was bad , when it comes to servicing they are ages being Nokia .... Took me 15 days to Get my bloody motherboard replaced in warranty... Had to visit there n number of times only to be told to come later , the idea of informing the customer is alien to then.

Did you know in India they don't entertain any warranty chains without a coy of the bill? Ergo no online CMS to verify EMi (even Nokia did it like 10yrs ago)

Overall rating : extremely poor service
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
With recent statement from Samsung, referring to the lack of SoC documentation, that indicates Samsung listens to what being discussed in public domains I hope they improve support services in India. However, I'm wondering if something is wrong with how procedures are laid out or how staff implement them?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] go-away:
I took mine back to the shop I bought it from here in Germany, as it had icons, clock numerals, and a yellowish stripe burned into the screen. They were quite visible even on a normal desktop background, but when I displayed a white picture you could actually read the burnt in weather report!

It took 8 days, they sent it off to Samsung and it returned with a brand new screen. The rest of the phone was original, as I recognise the scratch in one corner of the frame from when I dropped it onto a concrete floor. No charge and everything works nicely now.

Incidentally this poor note has been through hell, and what has saved it so far is the really robust wallet style flip-case that I bought very cheaply from Hong Kong. It has been dropped onto concrete floors many times (at least once a week because I'm very clumsy!), and I use it nearly everyday in my workshop where it gets covered in metal filings, sawdust, and concrete dust. In all that time (10 months) it managed to get one small scratch on the screen. So I must say they are really robust.

Of course I completely wiped and de-rooted it before taking it back in.

The screen burn was caused by two things - firstly an app called "DIM Lock" which allows you to keep your screen on, but the real culprit was that really stupid annoying "Battery fully charged - remove charger" message that always annoyingly pops up five minutes after I turn the screen off to go to sleep. If I fall asleep before that message wakes the screen up, then I don't get to manually turn it off again and it stays on all night!

I used an old Sony Ericcson Xperia e15 in the meantime as a replacement phone. Man is that thing annoying, so tiny and frustrating to use, I couldn't get the hang of it. Everything is so tiny and I found it extremely frustrating to use, surely it was designed for little girls or something. I really missed my mansize note while it was in repair, and I'll be looking after it a lot better from now on I can tell you.

So the morale of the story is - don't use any app that stops your screen going to sleep, it's not worth it as these screens are not designed to stay on for very long.

Oh, and if anyone knows how I can disable that annoying battery message I'll be eternally grateful :).

instead of using androids built in wifi settings to connect, I use "wifi analyzer". its free in google play, and allows you to see and do things that you can't using stock wifi connection settings.
