Stock @ Tegrak Kernel

Hi,

I'm following your guide but I'm stocked at step number 6 and I cannot boot to Android. I forgot to checked the build number of my phone and I inserted "Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip" via Tegrak Custom Recovery.

Screen says:

press HOME or POWER key

to enter tegrak recovery mode

start...

The loading screen is finished but I think I'm on boot loop status. Can you help me out? TIA.

Dan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sin07:
if you can get into tegrak recovery, you need to flash the zip file. you could try flashing cwm based recovery for e160s and then flashing supersu to root. using tegrak is an old method and is basically obsolete.

if you want to start again, then just flash stock via odin using the link below.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinfonietta:
Thanks again, I'm now able to get pass through that and be able to boot to Android.

As far as I know about following this thread, once Android booted up my phone will be rooted and all I need to do is to install SuperSU from Google Play. I did that but seems to have this error message when I'm opening SuperSU:

There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!

Mind helping me again? Thanks!

Hi,

Case now closed. I'm now able to root my SHV-E160S. Thanks for the great help!

All I need to do now is to bypass that 80char limit on stock SMS app. I'll try installing GoSMS or Handcent SMS app to check it later.

Thank you for the response Sin07 I did download Kies and connected my phone however the message I get from kies is "your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies." the current firmware version : PDA:EK17 / PHONE:EK17.

any other way I can go about updating this? thanks again for responding.

bricked

hello again, so I managed to go as far as the rebooting part of the process through the tegrak kernel setup and the phone didn't reboot. when I attenmpt to restart it all I get is the Samsung logo and then Samsung galaxy note and that's where the boot process ends. so am guessing I bricked the phone. how can I debrick so I can retry the process or go back to where I was in the beginning. thanks again for your continued support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sin07:
it's a soft brick, but all you have to do is flash firmware via odin and it'll be fine. some of the stock firmware comes pre-rooted. http://samsung-updates.com/ should have stock firmware for your phone

bricked

hello again Sin07, I made another attempt to run through the process and I managed to get through the first stage, odin and rerun the .tar file, however the phone still does not complete the booting process. when I attempt to get into the tegrak kernel setup, now I get a message 'forced upload' cause: force upload.. how can I get beyond this point. Also the links you sent, I have failed to download using the mirrors provided. are the files in those mirrors the same as the original files posted, on page 1 of this discussion thread? the odin I have also does not have the F.partition check box but re-partition and f.reset time.. kindly advise on how I can proceed. Is it possible that the .zip file I saved to the internal memory of the phone could have been corrupted and that is the cause of the problem?... thanks again for your continued help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sin07:
the link i sent was for stock firmware for your phone. and download earlier version of odin, i think i used 1.87 for the first note.

if I were in your situation, i would download cwm based recovery and flash supersu.zip as tegrak's is an outdated method to root.

if you prefer tegrak's method, make sure you download the correct files and try again. the links on the op are really old and hasn't been updated in a long time. scroll to the bottom and find the drop-down menus for your phone and download both files.

debrick

hello again Sin07, what I managed to do was to download and flash E160sksjmh1 and now the phone starts up and shows that I am running android 4.1.2 baseband version E160SKSJMH1 and build number JZ054K.E160SKSJMH2. Now that we have come this far, is there anything else I must to do to this phone to enable me do things like deleting or disabling any Korean bloatware on the phone and use the phone optimally. also after this can I update the software at a later stage because even now there appears to be a software update notification showing. will it cause any trouble or is it fine that way. thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sin07:
i would recommend updating the phone first before doing anything else as it isn't rooted at this point as it is still stock firmware. once you have updated, i would download cwm based recovery and flash it using odin. then, do a backup using cwm based recovery. next, download supersu.zip and flash using cwm based recovery. if anything happens, you can just restore your backup or flash cwm based recovery and restore backup.

Hi Sin07

Could you please advice on how to update the stock firmware so I can root my phone?? and what should be the version of the firmware in order for it to be rooted. Thanks for advance help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sin07:
go unto settings and update. to root your phone, download a cwm based recovery and flash using odin. then go into cwm based recovery and flash supersu.zip. otherwise, google tegrak e160s and download the files that match your baseband.

Hey. We've been discussing this for months now, and I think most would agree: in order to keep everyone happy, please tag your thread with the following: [SHV-E160][Root]

Please tag the model number first, to help partition threads, and avoid the rage. We need some sort of standard here.

Thanks for considering this.

I've been supporting Korean Note users (vocally, i might add) since the very first thread asking XDA for an official device thread, and the 4-5 subsequent threads asking users to support a sub-thread, or to support sharing. I think that the best way to avoid getting your thread locked or deleted, and/or a temban or permaban because of reports, and to maintain popular support, is to recognize the need for a universally recognizable tag to desist accidental navigation and/or up-ranking of threads via the statistical counting done by the site.

The most important identifier for thread navigation, and visibility, is the fact that its for the Korean note, then that its a root thread.

Let me know what you think.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

By the way, the message above was supposed to come after this, haha:

This is an amazing thread. Great work.

On the side note: I'd love to have this for my note. What made you choose the TegraK route?

I've seen with great consistency-across many threads and devices, discussion specifically of TegraK and the Francokernel.

Because I've never had a device with support for either, and because the documentation for the general idea is weak, if not nonexistent, what are the benefits...and the cons?

Does someone mind sharing?

To the OP: it's always nice to have another thread with technical information. Usually we have both ends of the spectrum...either technically weak--and ready-to-go-for-your-soccerom, or overly-technical-and-may-cause-an-aneurism-if-read-by-the-geriatric.

Thanks again for the post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jairrab:
Thanks for the comments, I've updated the title of the thread as requested. Feel free to suggest if something else is better.

I've added some additional background on why this thread is made specifically for Tegrak along with some other hopefully useful info. I've added the following to the original post:

Why would I update the kernel of my Korean Note to Tegrak? There are so many kernels out there for Galaxy Note. Why have one specifically for Tegrak?

The primary reason (at least for me) to update to Tegrak Kernel is to be able to root my device. While there are many rooted kernel variants and custom ROM available for International Galaxy Note (N700) and AT&T, there's very few for the Korean note version. In fact, for the english speaking community, it is the only rooted kernel that's well-documented and discussed. In the Korean and Chinese forums there seems to be a handful of custom rooted ROMs, but unless you speak those languages, you would find it almost impossible to register (because of the foreign characters), moreso to download and install the necessary files. Tegrak kernel also appears to be highly popular even for those communities.

For a more technical understanding of the Tegrak kernel, you can find it on it's website (in Korean so you may want to use Google's translate feature) or for an english description, via its Google Playstore kernel app page. Note, as described on the section below entitled "Completing the Rooting Process", you will need to install and configure this app to complete the rooting process.

Are there other means of rooting Korean Galaxy Note aside from updating to Tegrak's kernel?

Yes, you can download a rooted stock binary (Original Samsung firmware, but rooted) and install it. Here's the link on how to do it:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1899200

Are there custom ROMs available for our beloved Korean Note?

Again, there maybe a handful that can be found from the Korean and Chinese forums, but I find it impossible to download from it because of my lack of aptitude for these languages. There's one I know of that seems to be working well, and it's CM9 (Android 4.0.4). A couple of things that has kept me from using it is the lack of support from call recording and inability to connect to infrastructure wireless setup that my company is using. I also like the pen-features built-in with Samsung touchwiz interface. Other than that, it really is very snappy and feels faster than stock. You can find the CM9 rom in this thread:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jairrab:
No, you cannot update to Tegrak Kernel v.UK09 without updating your firmware to UK09. The only way you can update your firmware is through Kies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cybernerd:
Do I need to change something before I update through Kies? Or do I just leave it rooted and update it anyway?

Just leave it rooted and let Kies update your firmware. After the update, it will revert back to it's unrooted state and stock kernel/receovery.

SVH-E16S

Hi Jairrab,

i currently have the E160s running on ICS and i have problems sending sms. i really can't send sms even if i text only "test". what worked for me was when i tried to send 161 characters (160 didn't work also). any fix?

another issue is that my signal only gets 3G, but when i used to have my s2 and s3 international version, i always get H or H+. Only selection i can choose in the network setting is 3G/LTE...no WCDMA.

anyway, what are the advantage of rooting the device if there are no custom roms available for the phone?

thank you. Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jairrab:
First time I heard somebody having problems sending sms with less than 90 characters. The 2nd one you described about needing more than 160 chars is a known issue. So what doesn't work for me is sending sms between 90 and 160 chars. What sms app are you using?

On your signal problem, you may want to check the other Korean Note development/info sharing thread here. They talk about hidden menu settings that may clue you in to your signal issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shreyas08:
You can still flash tegrak kernel and recovery

If you are okay in going back to stock but Rooted ROM, you can still go back to tegrak recovery and kernel.

Only thing is you will have to flash the entire firmware again.

Before doing so, keep in hand cwm.tar (recovery) and nandroid backup of your current CM9 ROM, just in case if anything goes wrong you can switch back to the place from where you started.

I can provide you with detailed steps in case you are interested. :)
