Still have Odin on my phone, will that need to be removed if I am adding ICS with it already attached?

Also my kernal version has changed like 2x today from all of the updates (LRK currently) will have to find a new way to root vs the way I did it when I was on KKA or whatever it was
[HTC Incredible S] vinpat1:
Hi All

I have a HTC Incredible S (sim free WWE) which is currently running a modified Stock version of ICS.

I would like to revert back to a Stock ROM as I need to send my phone away for repair so it gets repaired under the warranty.

So I would like to change back to S-ON and put the Stock Gingerbread ROM back on withour Root etc.

I have looked on the internet for this but either the guides are for different models or are out of date so some of the install files are outdated or not available anymore.

Please can you guys help me so that I can fully revert back to Stock so I can send my phone away for repair. My Bootloader screen is as below:

*** BlackRose ***

VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.02.0002

RADIO-3805.06.03.03_H

Hello, everyone!

Mediaserver process drains the battery hard and that's a big problem!

On any ROMs, any Android versions.

Some users never knew that trouble, but some are in that and it's annoying at all.

There's a lot of tips how to fix it, someone says done, someone's crying.

So, I start that topic

to make clear the problem and generally solve it!

What I know about the trouble:

Mediaserver drains the battery when apps are using media files.

Mediaserver is necessary process for Android.

If you kill the process, it will start at the same moment.

if you delete or rename /system/bin/mediaserver and kill the process, your device will reboot and stop on the bootloader

How did I tried to solve it:

Deleted all the broken mp3 s by mp3 Cheker

Puted .nomedia file to the main folder of sd card and external card, also personality to media folders

Installed PowerAMP, Quick Pic, MX player - apps which use their own library of media files.

Deleted MediaStorage by Titanium Backup (nothing changed, only got problems with gPlay)

Nothing helps.

Doesn anyone have any idea what else can fix that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aVirginGirl:
no ideas? Only myself ibterested in it?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4play312:
Hi ,

I am new to this forum , although i have been reading articles on this forum for months .

I am planning to flash my galaxy note , but have a few questions . (i did some research , but i am still short on some answers )

If anyone would be kind enough to answer my questions i would really appreciate it . (Currently i am on stock android rom + not rooted)

This is what i know : Phone = Hardware + Kernel + Rom .

I also know that we can either change the kernel or the Rom (and that ROM comes with its own kernel which we can change )

Now this is what i dont know and am looking for your help in finding the answers .

1. Can i only flash a new KERNEL on my Note while keeping the stock ROM ? and if YES , then can i at a future time be able to recieve Official smasung OTA updates ?

2. I know the benefits of custom Kernels namely : Performance , Better battery , highly customizable ,etc . But what i dont know are the demerits of custom KERNALS . ??

3. Last Question . If i do go ahead and ROOT and FLASH custom ROM on my phone , can i ever go back to factory settings ??

Please dont beat me , this is my first post . I WILL GET SMART WITH TIME :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazibasit:
Well u have a nice question. I am also a newb, but what i know is that if u change ur kernel u wont be able to get the OTA.

Rooted but on stock rom will still offer u the OTA updates.

Well yes at anytime you can return back to stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiskeyjack4855:
1. Yes you can flash custom kernel on stock rom.. see dr ketan's guide in original Android development section of galaxy note..

You won't receive ota upgrades on a custom kernel.

2.No demerits of custom kernels.. for battery life with perfomamce i suggest speedmod kernel. For higher perfomance i suggest hydracore.

3. Yes you can go back to factory settings by flashing stock Samsung rom through odin.

I strongly suggest that you read dr ketan's guide.

Also remember never do a factory reset or wipe in stock kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4play312:
what do you mean when you say :: Also remember never do a factory reset or wipe in stock kernel ??

Also i looked up de ketan's guide . But that seems to be about stock rom's .Right ?

Right now i am just looking to install a new Kernal , in hopes that , that itself will provide a boost to the phone's performance and then if i like i will

install a custom rom as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitanshu91:
Actually stock rom is unsafe for wipes because it may trigger the brick bug

For installing custom kernal u first have to root the note(many methods available)

For that the easiest method i feel is with philz kernal

U can see in dr ketan s rooting guide or philz thread

Then u can move to sppedmod or hydracore or anypther that u like

Plz read all instructions carefully so as to avoid bricking
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4play312:
Basically what you are saying is :

1. Root your phone (using any of the number of ways available)

2.Install custom Kernel as that helps to avoid brick bug when you try to wipe your phone for custom installation .

Also i have another question (yea i know my questions are never ending :) )

Where and why in all this does a custom recovery come in the picture ?? and why do we need it ? because i have read somewhere that we do .

thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
if u install a custom kernel like speedmod or hydracore ... it will override the stock recovery option ( vol up+power+home) 3e and install the powerful ClockWorkMod recovery ( same action). this recovery allows you to do a lot of tasks which the stock doesnt

main being taking a nandroid backup : backup ur entire working phone and restore it later when u want
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4play312:
thanks Whiskeyjack4855 , sitanshu91 and nokiamodeln91 . One day in this forum and i am already loving it :)

I love open source (I actually work in open source as well :) )

So finally i have decided to go ahead with the root . I will post how it went .

Also which kernel is best after rooting : hydracore or speedmod . Also i have head quite alot of franco kernel .

which would be best and least risky ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
The 3 kernels that you've mentioned are 3 of the best kernel for the note. Franco kernel was cancelled though, the dev decided to leave the note community. Your best bet would be the HydraCore kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
ya go with hydracore
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:

Well finally rooted my phone using CWM.zip and SU zip files . Easy way , read it on rootgalaxynote.com website .

Anyways now that i am rooted , the next step is to install kernel .

Here i have further questions :

1. Do i need to take some backup before i flash custom kernel . ?

2. When i want to switch back to stock kernel for galaxy note , will i loose data and app ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
i must say u r lucky this time but its been on XDA a million times that using these files can brick your phone. follow dr ketans signature for safest and easiest way to root.

1. if u have used there files to root u still will be on stock ics kernel and cannot do any backups. download philz kernel and flash it from recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

after this u will get CWM.. with this you can take a nandroid backup of ur rom and its a safe kernel for wipes as well

2. no flashing kernel will not have any effect on data or apps. but flashing ROMs do
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4play312:
Well Rooted the phone again . This time used philz kernel .

This is what I did

1. Restarted in stock recovery

2.Installed philz zip file from external sd card (it replaced my old SU and installed a custom kernel i guess)

3.Rebooted and working fine .

4 also started recovery again and CWM was installed this time ,

So , sofar everything is fine i guess .

Now should i take a nandroid backup and then install hydracore kernel ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
this is a safe kernel but still if u want to go for hydracore then ya. u can take a nandroid backup now. But b4 that go to backup and restore and set the default backup for may as tar

So i played a bit with my phone yesterday . took a nandroid backup first which came to be around 2.3 gb then flashed hydrokernel 5.4 non OC.

But strangely enough i felt there was a bit of lag in the phone after i flashed the hydracore kernel so i flashed philz lernel again and it worked fine .

today i have backed up my apps using titanium backup and now i am ready to experiment more .

I have 2 questions before i start flashing new ROM's though :

1. Can nandroid backup bring me back to where i am today no matter how big i screw up ?

2. Where do i store the titanium backup , because i assume that if i flash a new rom titanium will be deleted as well .. right ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
No. It depends. it u encounter a emmc brick then it can't it also depends on if u can reboot into recovery.

external sd. when u take backup. There is a folder created in the internal sd titanium backup. copy that folder to ur pc or ext sd and restore back after installation on new rom and tb.

Which hydracore kernel do you use. Oc or normal. i have used 2 kernels till now. Philz and hydracore and to be honest i have found the performance almost the same. Rather i found that the performance from philz is more consistent.

i am using OC but i dont OC it but just UC it to 100MHz for better battery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Depend on ur device.

If u feel philz suit u more, then use his kernel.

Hydracore if i want to use also only the 4.3. This version i found the most stabil on my device.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ral7:
Since you are on hydracore. You can flash the liquid smooth directly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Att.Fan1982:
If you're using a hydracore kernel, you can simply just place the liquid smooth rom and gapps zip on your sdcard and 1. boot into recovery, 2. backup your current rom, 3. WIPE DATA(2x), 4. WIPE cache partition(2x), 5. WIPE dalvik cache(2x), 6. install liquid smooth rom zip, 7. install liquid smooth gapps, 8. REBOOT your device.

Can anyone help me to find a keyboard which supports both full line selection when highlighting and also uses Google voice recogniser? Let me explain:

I'm on a Galaxy Note. My preferred keyboard is "Swype" because it's the only keyboard I've ever been able to find on which, when highlighting/selecting text, it's possible to select full lines (up and down arrows) as well as character by character (left and right arrows).

However, because Swype is the native keyboard on the Note, it defaults to Samsung's Vlingo voice recogniser and won't let me choose and use Google's.

Thus what I'm looking for is a an alternative keyboard which supports selecting text by line, not just character (which I've so far never managed to find), and also uses Google voice recogniser.

Can anyone help at all?

Thanks.

Hi

I have a question before sending my HTC back for the wifi repair to HTC.

If I make a nandroid backup of my existing custom rom, then unroot the phone, when I reroot the phone once i get it back, can I simply use the nandroid backup I had made to restore everything once I have re-rooted?

Thanks

Manny
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Yep, ofcourse you can.

To be honest you need to re-lock your bootloader also.

And hopefully your lucky enough to be one of the people that gets a warranty fix even though your unlocked and rooted.

As many people get turned away.
[HTC One X] mannysroot:
Ok, thanks, its worth a try

I made a nandroid backup of my stock rom and also have the boot.img for the stock rom. I assume that if I flash these 2 first and then lock the bootloader? Is that correct?

if it is correct - is it simple to lock the bootloader?
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Hi, yeah thats correct mate.

Easiest way is to flash the correct RUU for you phone. Im sorry but I don't know how to get the correct RUU perhaps someone else could help.

What I do know is that you can never fully "lock" the bootloader again, it will say "Re-Locked" and not "Locked" all you can do is hope they do not check the bootloader.

Hope this helps :)
[HTC One X] mannysroot:
If they check it and see it says relocked and then refuse to repair it is the same as me leaving it unlocked?? So i may as well leave it as it is?

Thanks

Manny
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
TO be honest yeah, your right you may as well leave it as unlocked.

But definately return it to stock as much as poss, using the RUU or flashing the stock images etc.

Hope this helps :)
[HTC One X] mannysroot:
ok cool, in that case will just flash the nandroid back up of the stock img and the boot.img and leaver the bootloader unlocked - should be sufficient. should i also uninstall the clockwork mod etc?
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Definately, if they boot the phone and see CWM, TWRP, Titanium, SuperSU/SuperUSer they'll know straight away you are rooted.

Remove anything you possibly can that will identify a rooted unit.

:)

silly question - i know what the rest are but what is TWRP?
