Still have DL mode, I've tried running pda.tar again which gave me CWM. I pulled the battery out, still the same problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davis.ja:
I guess I could try CM9, is there a stable build on that yet? I know I should probably do the research looking for it, but it has to do with this thread in a way.

If you're boot looped but have recovery and dl mode then you can flash a ROM through recovery or Odin back to stock and start over.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

..root and custom recovery are 2 different things completely. If you're just going to flash a ROM then you don't need to root. You just need a custom recovery. If you want to keep your stock ROM and attain root, then you need to flash the su binaries zip in a custom recovery.

Gubment Cheeze
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davis.ja:
I do not have recovery. Looking for a different ROM to use, my question, do I have to have recovery to get a new ROM installed or can I run that from Odin? Thank
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
OK..so when you said this^^^, you meant what? Can you get into recovery at all? Cwm or stock 3e? If not then you can't flash a ROM. You can use Odin to flash back to stock and start over.

Gubment Cheeze
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davis.ja:
I just used Odin to get me back to the stock Gingerbread ROM. Then I ran Odin again to get root on the phone using the pda.tar. Before this gave me CWM. I cannot get my phone into any recovery mode at all, CWM or stock. I went back into Odin and loaded a CWM using PDA and I still can't access a recovery menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
What happens when you try to flash the cwm tar through Odin? Does it say successful and then reboot your phone? How are you trying to enter cwm recovery?

Gubment Cheeze

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Also, I'm not aware of any Odin root tar that you're talking about. You flash cwm through Odin and then install su binaries zip to attain root.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I'm confused ...

If you Odin flashed the GB.tar, and it completed successfully, then you "in fact " have a 3e recovery, as it's included in the .tar image .

Volume up, volume down , and power button being pushed together will open this version of recovery.

The restore won't complete without it ....

If you have a working GB rom ....then Odin push the recovery and done ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davis.ja:
When I try to flash CWM through Odin it all goes as expected till I try to get into recovery. I've pushed and held VLup, VLdn, Pwr and I've tried VLup plus power. The phone does nothing, just vibrates over and over again until I let go and then it shuts off. The phone boots no problem into GB, the problem after that is that the phone still thinks it has some remenance of ICS on it. A whole lot of google processes don't work and it tries telling me that it's still in power save mode that I know for sure isn't in the GB ROM. I can restart the phone and attempt recovery and I still get nothing. I've even tried updating the firmware with Kies and that gets me nowhere either. Even after I've got GB back onto the phone I've tried flashing a couple different CWM from Odin with no better result.

The fact that I'm booting into GB shows that Odin is working. I'll be looking into Odin to see if it will wipe the phone clean without going into recovery. Otherwise I have a worthless device and I have to send in my old phone and I know I can get working again....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Both volume up and down plus power. After first vibration, release power, but continue to hold the volume buttons. If that doesn't work, download an app from the play store like Flapps PowerTool to get into recovery.

Gubment Cheeze
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ptgptg:
I had a similar issue (stuck on the Samsung logo) the other day when I tried to root ICS. I solved it by entering download mode and flashing one of the leaked ICS ROMS using Odin. Once I had done that, I downloaded the full ATT official ICS ROM and using Kies, updated manually.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davis.ja:
That's good advice I'll have to try out and I'll let you guys know what happens. Thank you again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
What will happen, is you will see a recovery called 3e...

and then we can start all over again to root your phone...g....:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hfitzhugh:
Is anyone having trouble with the regular internet browser? At least once a day when I try to open a bookmark I get a black screen and have to go out to the home screen and force close the app. I have a rooted phone but I don't think it has anything to do with it as I haven't flashed anything onto my phone or done anything special. I also clear my cache on a regular basis. Any advice would be appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] navygtab:
I use chrome as my browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Agreed.

Stock browser is a pathetic clone of AOSP. It looks almost the same, but runs like poo.
[Transformer TF300T General] dmora01:
Now with JB update, the main browser is chrome and is very slow slow slow and sometimes when I am playing html5 videos makes my system reboot, I know html5 is now and the future but a lot of web sites still use flash player. We still have the android browser but with the update now it does not synchronize anything. In my my opinion, asus tf300t is I nice device but for internet browsing is little bit frustrating. I tried dolphin that used to work fine with ICS, and now is slow.
[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
While I'd hold off on saying it sucks outright, I will say that it leaves a whole lot to be desired. Chrome for Android is no where near as good as it's desktop big brother.

What I'm confused the most about is that they include it alongside their 4.1 updates, with it indented to become the users default browser, but it lacks some of the basic functionality of even the stock Android browser.
[Transformer TF300T General] turdbogls:
I am curious as to what you think is basic features? not bashing in any way...some need more than other.

i personally think Chrome is completely Fine. it does everything i need it to do and works well enough that i dont feel like i have to download or try any other browser out there.

however there is the occasion i need FLASH and have to use the stock browser.
[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
I want it to be able to request, by default, the desktop version of websites, without me having to either specify it every time I load a new site or root and run any custom scripts.:eek:

For a device as capable as the TF300, and considering the stock browser has that function, I'd consider that a pretty basic feature. Until I see that little check box in the settings menu that allows me to "Always request desktop site", it's the stock browser for me. ;)

[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
Come on guys, did you not read my post?

"I want it to be able to request, by default, the desktop version of websites, without me having to either specify it every time I load a new site

or root and run any custom scripts

."

I do not want to unlock in order to root. Once there is a root exploit developed for 4.1.1 that maintains the locked boot-loader I'm all game to give the above options a try.

In the meantime though I'm still of the opinion that if the default browser can be programmed to request desktop versions of websites by default, there is absolutely

no

reason why Chrome can not be developed to do the same.
[Transformer TF300T General] lightsout:
I agree it's silly that the old android browser would have features that chrome does not. Chrome can be unbearably slow on my pad. Google now as well.
[Transformer TF300T General] new ion?:
Did you get it on ics?
[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
Did i get what on ICS? The custom script for Chrome that is linked above? Yes I was using that while locked/rooted on ICS, but that's not the point of my complaint with Chrome.

There should be no reason that a feature like automatically requesting the desktop site in a tablet based browser should not be included, without the need to unlock/root/run custom scripts. It's just a lack of effort on the part of the Chome developers as far as I'm concerned.
[Transformer TF300T General] new ion?:
I think its something that'll be coming.. I mean chrome for android hasn't had as long to develop as the stock aosp browser has.

Also, I meant root on ics. It was possible without unlocking. I am rooted but locked.

[Transformer TF300T General] faust0230:
Yes I am seeing that as well. I am pretty disappointed with chrome on this beast (hell it loading like aol did on my 386). I use Chrome everywhere else (galaxy nexus, razr maxx, my linux machine and my windows 7) and it blows all other browsers away - the sync is amazing when switching between devices. There has to be something coming soon that will get it back to where it belongs. Does anyone know if these chrome issues are related to JB running on tablets or is this a transformer thing. I love this tablet (bought it two nights ago lol) but without chrome working, it feels broken. Hope this gets handled soon. I am debating on trying out one or two more tablets before I fully commit (tf700t? I actually have no other ones on my radar-nothing seems exciting). Anyone know of anything i should check out before I commit?)
[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
Well I finally unlocked, installed Hydro and then tried applying the custom command line linked to by SpeedNess above...no joy.

I then tried the method liked to by rumspringa9, again no joy.

Yes I changed permissions on the command line file. Might be that the new chrome version doesn't allow for the custom script to work.

Oh well, back to the stock browser and Browser2Ram for the time being.
[Transformer TF300T General] smookyb:
can some tell me what browser is the best one at the moment. i am on hydro JB en using chrome and stock but both sucks big time
[Transformer TF300T General] the_game_master:
I said this about Chrome from the moment it showed up for ICS months ago.

I couldn't figure why Google couldn't duplicate the Chrome desktop PC/Mac experience on Android.

I couldn't figure out why Firefox on Android operated nothing like it's superior PC/Mac brother.

Till it dawned on me that hardware may be the underlining issue.

Windows / Mac OS / and Linux all work happy over x86/x64 hardware made exclusively by Intel/AMD/and sometimes VIA.

Intel and AMD have spent decades improving x86, from the Pentium MMX, Pentium III with SSE, AMD's K6-2 with 3D Now this was way back in the late 90s.

Sadly Android is centered over a company that mostly made video cards, nVidia.. Tegra 2/3.

and thus our internet browsers on Android function like we're using 1995 PC hardware.

Google needs to dump nVidia and go Intel for Android 5.

/end rant.
[Transformer TF300T General] new ion?:
Idk where you get your 'facts' from... but nvidia is not, by any means, the centre of android. They have like.. 8 devices?

Qualcomm my friend. Just like almost EVERY phone EVER lol.

There's also TI, Samsung...
[Transformer TF300T General] Zadeis:
I would say anything ARM related is more so the center of Android not nvidia...
[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
:eek: lol! Terrible attempt at trolling, is terrible.:cyclops:
[Transformer TF300T General] the_game_master:
Except I'm not trolling, and there's an underline truth beneath this if you attempt to look it up.

I'm not just talking about nvidia which make up the ARM processors in the ASUS Transformer line.

ARM in general sucks compared to Intel/AMD CPUs in general.

I have reason to believe Google and Apple have sided with ARM due to cost. But we're suffering as the result when Google Android can't produce desktop equivalent performance of it's apps compared to it's PC brethren.

Intel Atom is here and it's going to knock Google for a loop as manufactures built Windows 8 tablets.

I was going to give up on ASUS because of the frustratons I have with it's Transformer tablets, but I see now that it's not ASUS fault it's Google's fault with designing Android around crappy ARM processors.

ASUS tablet 810 will be what I wished my Transformer TF700T was.

[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
So if I follow you right, you're saying you bought a tablet when you wanted a laptop.:eek:
[Transformer TF300T General] the_game_master:
no I wanted a tablet with PC performance.

I always went by the notion of Tablets having the same level of PC performance as the desktop and laptop since seeing early Tablet PC running on Windows XP.

It wasn't until iPad came along and I soon picking up a Transformer that I recognize these Android tablets aren't quite the tablets I dreamed on owning, their performance suck.

Transferring files is slow, apps lag frequently, and quite often fail to launch forcing a reboot. Android 4.0 ICS and the much acclaimed Tegra 3 have been a joke to me.

I want a tablet that lives up to it's motto as a personal computer.

I realize my mistake is going for a tablet that use cheaper components, Apple and Google tablets run on inferior ARM technology compared to Microsoft's tablets that run on Intel hardware.

When I bought the Transformer Prime (later exchanged it for Infinity), I wasn't thinking about it's OS, I was thinking about the device itself. I had no idea it wouldn't live up to it's potential due it's underperforming hardware and weak OS that lied underneath it.
[Transformer TF300T General] tritran18518:
Can you tell me what kind of laptop has slim&thin size like your Asus tablet can perform like a laptop with 7-8h of usage? Even window 8 tablet come out next 2-3 months with core i5 processors, no one can tell their batteries life can hold up to 7-8hours with price under $500.

[Transformer TF300T General] Bolandk:
So if I follow you right, you neither did research into the performance levels of past/current/future tablet devices, and then bought one anyway?

Before you answer, you should note that I have extensive experience using early gen HP tabs running XP.

Oh and "Microsoft's tablets"....where are they, and have you used them yet?

It's not FHD because of licensing requirements I think. Android is free to license (one of the reasons it took over the smartphone market). Windows is charging for their OS though I'm sure its less for the stripped down ARM OS.

Reminds me of when Windows phone was a huge player. Then it completely died to android because droid was free and Windows Portable (orwhatever it was called) cost 30 bucks a phone.

It may be a big reason why Windows decided to screw over OEM manufacturers a bit and make their own Slate devices. They need to establish marketshare before manufacturers will want to pay too much for Windows OS.
