[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedavidp:
So Should I NOT Use a Stock ICS ROM?

Hello and thanks to you and the others who have so kindly replied. Does this mean I should find a non-stock ICS ROM to install? I was thinking that going stock would be safer. I was reading this guide <android.gs/update-samsung-galaxy-note-to-official-xxlrq-firmware-update> to updating to the ROM suggested above and near the end it speaks to possibly having to select ‘wipe data/ factory reset’ in recovery mode if, after the Odin install completes, the device fails to boot beyond the logo screen. I would not want to get to that point and not be able to do this if needed.

Also, I would eventually really like to get to JB - especially for the on-device voice command processing. If there is a recommended JB ROM that can do this now and avoid the brick problem, I would appreciate recommendations.

Thanks again for your knowledge and help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
ofc you can use ICS Stock Rom. But just to be safe you have to flash safe kernel...Speedmod/Notecore/HydraCore are the safer kernels.

For JB there is no official update available from Samsung for our Note. But you can enjoy it with the efforts that developers are doing for us in XDA.

Go to Android Development Section and Have a look on the Topic Titles.Some of them are AOKP/PA/CM10/AOSP... For Me JellyCore is so far gud. You can find the link in my signatures. :D

I only know u r now in GB.

GB shld be ok to do full wipe. None reporting mmc brick on GB coz of full wipe.

So....

U can do ur full wipe first on stock GB.

Use pc odin to flash ICS 4.04 LRQ.

Voila.... U r on ICS alrd.

Once u r on ics, and on stock ics kernel....

Pls, do not ever do full wipe.

Unless, after that u root and install ics safe custom kernel, then u r safe to full wipe on ics.

:)

Good luck!

More in Jelly Core?

Hello and thanks. I guess it may make sense to bypass the stock ICS which seems to contain issues related to the brick bug and go to something like Jelly Core as you mention. I looked at the page for Jelly Core and see that it says to install using Clock Work Mod and to wipe from a safe kernel first. As a newbie I guess I have some questions:

(a) I am on GB which I understand to be "safe". Is that correct?

(b) Where do I get the CWM for this phone and how do I install it?

(c) To do the "wipe" does that simply mean to use the built-in reset to factory or does this mean something else?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Hi there,

a. Yes, Stock GB's are generally safe

b. When your going to flash ROM, each ROM has it's own accompanying CWM.. so when your done choosing which ROM your going to flash your Note to, when your going to bootup in recovery.. and you get the standard CWMR...

c. Yes, Wiping is synonymous to doing the built-in factory reset on your phone (thru Settings), or the alternate way is to go to CWMR and wipe data. Different Methods, same result.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedavidp:
Thanks but...

I am sorry but I am still a bit lost here. Before my N7000 I had a Samsung Skyrocket and flashed it using Odin from the GB that was on it to the stock ICS. I found several guides for this online and it worked fine and easily (although I still feared the brickbug). But this is basically all I know about this stuff.

So how do I flash something like Jelly Core? It sounds like I have to install some other was other than I did with Odin/stock ICS on my Skyrocket. Perhaps I need more of a tutorial on how to do this flashing of custom roms. Any suggestions?

I apologize to all for my thick-headedness.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
the best and safest way first is to downgrade back to stock GB. Don't do any thing foolish by just flashing a stock ICS (with an unsafe kernel).

Downgrade first to stock GB and work your way up to eventually flash your preferred custom ROM (in cwmr or odin)

Hello All,

I have a big problem. I'm hoping someone can help me. I took my Asus Transformer Prime apart hoping to improve my wifi signal as per this thread. I put everything back together and booted it up. Here is a picture of my screen.

Is my Prime DOA?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
can you repost the link? I cant follow the one there
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tandtmah:
I have to wait for 10 posts before I can post an outside linke...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1moreCyberdude:
I've seen that before - when I was building my own projector. It could be a bent ffc cable. You might want to crack it back open and verify they are all properly seated in their slots and nothing is pressing against them.

Hope that helps!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tandtmah:
I re-opened the case. There does not appear to be anything bent or pressing up. Even the case loose, the screen is still like that. I've tried slightly pressing anything with cables attached and the picture does not flicker.

looks like this is what I was looking for. compuw22c seems to be right on track below with what is going on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Looks like a cracked screen if you look just right and down of that "cross hair" and would explain the semi working nature of the display. Maybe give us a close up photo of that "crack" to confirm? Maybe you flexed the screen just a bit too much :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
This ...

The screen clearly has a crack at the bottom of the vertical stripe ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
Ribbon cable busted, or screen ribbon connector is busted (other than the crack).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tandtmah:
Wow, that much damage? It appears as though there is a crack on the LCD not the glass, as I can not see the crack when the prime is off. Originally I used a plastic prying tool that I bought online for this purpose, but it broke within minutes. I then used a small screwdriver and pried the case enough to get a fingernail wedged in between, then I inserted a credit card and pried all around the unit. I didn't realize I have done that much damage (cracked LCD and potentially a broken ribbon). I guess my loss should serve as a warning to others.

To be honest, the only reason why I wanted to open the case was to get better wifi coverage. I use the unit a lot for note taking and for the brower when at work. My co-workers with other tablets are able to find wifi networks that I can't, and I was getting a bit frustrated by the Prime.

Now that mine is broken, I can honestly say, I won't be buying another Asus tablet to replace it. With the poor handling of the wifi (saying that it works enough), GPS (removal of the spec), and the few apps that crashed my prime (like World Series of Poker and Where's waldo to name a couple). It has honestly made me rethink the entire Android platform.

I may throw my chips into a Win 8 pro tablet after a few months of it's release, and I don't want an Ipad. I guess I'll be back to using my laptop for now.

Thanks All for the help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
At least someone who has bricked their unit but has a good screen might be interested in buying. Bad luck, but it does show how careful you need to be when opening devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
Perhaps the LCD is not cracked, just looked again.

The construction of the Prime is quite poor. Did you by chance start opening it from the bottom and not the side? I recall a while back someone wrote about damaging their ribbon cable like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JaNkIz:
Really looks like a cracked LCD.

Cracked mine while trying to replace the glass at the bottom left and the entire screen went kaput, but here it's more centered and it works on the left side prior to what looks like a crack at the bottom. did you first insert the screwdriver right over the right dock mounting point?

I've seen people using putty knives (putty spreading tools used in construction) to open larger panels with success. they're thin and durable- perfect for the job.

Sad to see another prime go like that :( If only they had LCD's for sale..... I couldn't find one for mine

Update October 28,2012:

h8rift figured out how to enable full OTG support with 5V power, no need for y-cable anymore!

You need to use a modified kernel for self powered OTG. Stock kernel has OTG but needs a y-cable connected to 5V power source, as explained below.

To enable powered OTG, you will need to use one of the following:

CM10 Nightly builds: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790032

King Kang ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1959099

rohan.kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1892108

For Sense ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1967897

______________________________________________

To use OTG with stock kernel:

Here's what you need:

-an OTG cable

-a USB Y-cable

-a usb perhipheral (eg: mouse, keyboard, thumb drive, etc)

The key to this working is 5V on the uplink to the phone. Most usb hubs do not supply 5V on the uplink! This is why I suggest a Y-cable.

1. connect the perhipheral device to the Y-cable

2. connect the y-cable to the AC power adapter that came with your phone

3. connect the other end of the y-cable to an OTG cable

4. connect the OTG cable to your One X

Here's a screenshot showing the mouse pointer:

Notes:

-the OTG cable automatically sets the USB controller to host mode

-usb-hid seems to be built into the kernel, no modules need to be loaded

-usb storage works, but has to be mounted manually

-tested on stock kernel and scrosler's cleankernel
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Cool. Kinda sucks that you need a separate 5v source.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
^^yeah, there's not much you can do about that. I'm pretty sure there's no way the phone can supply the power.

Also, I can confirm usb storage works.

I attached a thumb drive and manually mounted it:

mkdir /mnt/usb

mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usb
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nightrainbow:
Where did you get that clock?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Any OTG cable is fine?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Any proper OTG cable (I got mine for like $3 on ebay). In an OTG cable, pin 4 on the micro usb side is grounded. This is how the device automatically senses that it should enter host mode.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Are you being serious? (It came with the phone)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
But it has a brushed aluminum theme, no? So it's not stock. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarlow:
The Galaxy S II supplies power for USB host with a OTG cable ... stock

This is like the way you have to do it with a TouchPad, who carries around a portable USB power supply? If HTC wasn't going to give a MicroSD slot, you would think USB OTG would be officially supported.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Does the phone at least charge in this mode so its somewhat useful?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Yeah, it's stock, part of the Aluminum theme.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Oh.. didn't realise there was such a thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
It doesn't charge while in host mode, but I think that function might be enabled with a little kernel hacking.

I'm not familiar with the hardware yet, I just got this phone a few days ago. The USB controller is likely part of the soc. There would be a phy between the main chip and the USB port. The phy is where voltages would be controlled. There are many different phy's available, each has different capabilities.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] saketh91:
can you please be more clear in your explanation as i don't understand
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I'm saying that the usb phy, which is a physical chip that controls the micro usb port, might be able to be programmed to allow charging while in otg mode by modifying code in the kernel. But I don't know enough about the phone's hardware.

I think, but don't know for sure, that there is a signal in the usb cable that tells the phone whether it's connected to a normal usb port or an AC adapter. The phone will draw a small current if it's connected to a computer usb port and a larger current (to charge quicker) if it's connected to the wall charger. Perhaps there is a resistor or short between D+ and D- lines? I don't know, more research is required. If anyone knows, feel free to contribute here.

What I do know is that when you connect the otg cable, a pop up comes up saying charging is disabled.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FreddieP:
The at&t S3 supports USB OTG w/o external power. Plugged in a mouse, it worked. Keyboard same thing. Plugged in SD card reader, S3 mounted the card and file browser opened. It was pretty cool.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
Basically all Samsung Android phones from Galaxy S2 onwards support USB OTG out of box.

HTC follows Google's route that doesn't support any USB OTG out of box (Nexus N7 doesn't have USB OTG OOB) for whatever reason.

The only reason I'm interested in USB OTG is to use an external storage when I'm traveling, e.g. on a flight. The requirement of an external 5v supply basically kills it for me. It would scare the heck out of fellow passengers when they saw me plug some wires to the phone connecting to some external battery pack and storage card :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
My reason for wanting otg is so I can backup and review photos from my DSLR camera when I'm on trips. The external power requirement is an annoyance, but I can easily deal with it back in the hotel room.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FreddieP:
I wonder what the current threshold is to get the USB controller to think it is charging?

Would this work: attach a watch battery of the correct voltage and a resistor to limit current draw to one side of the splitter and have a device (battery, resistor, splitter, OTG cable) that's not all that big.

I too would like to access digicam SD storage via my phone for minor edits and uploading.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gutterball:
LOL that is worth doing just for the lol involved make sure you wear a turbin on the flight too for added effect and sit there speaking gibberish the whole time as well! :D Actually you should pull the battery supply from your turbin HAHAHA

On a serious note: I can't wait for OTG to hit our device either we really could use it and rohan32 is trying to work it into his new kernel possibly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FreddieP:
Or maybe dress like an ignorant geek that can't spell turban correctly.

Or maybe you meant turbine as in propeller head?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slimslim:
Could you suggest a y cable that would work with this?

Edit: nevermind, I see now any usb y will do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I haven't confirmed this yet, but everything you need is already enabled in the stock kernel. USB host driver is there, usb-otg is there, usb hid and mass storage drivers are there. When you plug the otg cable in, the device immediately switches to usb host mode. When you remove the otg cable, it switches back. That is the essence of OTG. The only kernel hacking that needs to be done is supplying 5V on the port. There's a good possibility there may be a hardware limitation that makes this impossible.

If I have time tonight, I'll hook everything up and take a picture.

I might also flash a stock kernel and confirm that this works (I'm using clean kernel, which looks like stock config + overclocking)

I wonder if this will help us with the soff exploits.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] melax1:
Thanks for your post, Question for OTG to work does the kernel and rom have to support it or just the kernel? Looking forward to seeing your setup..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
nope.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
The kernel has to support it. OTG itself needs to be enabled in the kernel. If you want to use a keyboard or mouse, usb-hid (usb human interface device) needs to be enabled in the kernel (or loaded as a module). If you want to use a usb stick, usb mass storage has to be enabled, and so on.

As for the ROM, I think most support keyboard and mouse. You need an app to mount a usb stick (or do it manually from the command line), though I'm sure some ROMs can automount.

Anyway, here's the basic setup using a y-cable and otg adapter. I attached a usb stick to the setup as an example. You could hook up any usb device, and even a usb hub to hook up multiple devices. Blurry, but you get the idea.

Note that I didn't do anything to the kernel or software, I only tried different ways of hooking up the cables until I found one that worked.

I don't have time tonight to flash the stock kernel and test and I'll be on a trip until Monday, so if someone else wants to give it a shot, go for it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] saketh91:
@flar2 can you please confirm if it's working.I have an USB y cable which has two females and one male.

Male for connecting it to ac adapter,one female for any external USB say pensive and another female for phone's USB cable and other end of it to phone

It means I am not using otg cable.does it make any difference?please help me
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
If your cable is not an otg, you could probably put it into host mode manually and make it work.

Type this into a terminal as root:

echo "host" > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_otg/mode

You need root to do this, and you may need to mount debugfs:

mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
