GB rom root

I tried the same link and got a .bin, even though the link stated. Exe (US). (No firewall or security centre).

Perhaps my hacked XP is an issue, I did try with internet online, re-Chasimodo?, but no update was saught! So assumed my drivers were ok, also had "yellow" light? And using Dr ketan toolbox drivers, v.1.5.5.0.

Havnt looked through "explorer" whilst flashing. Had looked when I was using kies once, is there any thing can be done here?

Thanks 4 driver advice, perhaps will try loading back to ME and seek driver update.

Presumably if I can use explorer drivers must be ok? Flip side.

One idea is it possible to use my galaxy Tab10 to flash to my note, its the only kit I have that hasnt been "robbed or modified"- not bad 12 yrs outa my old ME laptop- sgot ethernet & everything!. Ah- I've also got a small linux distro that works well- any thoughrs on this being a better way to plash- re- heidemall?

Please wait to reply until my next post. Re- Oops.

GB what next

Hello again, Oops, oops.....oops??? *

Accidently used "volume up/*power & home keys to put in flash mode! *

Normally I have used the volume down*key, which comes up with R2D2 and a "loading...." text displayed+ (top left text)

This relates to all my previous posts. *

This 2nd screen (from using vol/up), shows the "Samsung Galaxy Note, GT-N7000" splash, twice, and then displays the following at-Top left screen (Blue). *

Android system recovery (3e) * Enter: OK key, Select: vol UP/vol Down. Reboot system now. Apply update from sdcard. Wipe data/ factory reset. Wipe cache partion. Test redband fota[FS].

* There is Yellow text, mid screen, which details the boot up of the CSC, code PHE. Presumably this required to provide function for this "Boot/ Recovery" mode??

* My main question is what is the difference between the 2 start up modes- this appears to be a pretty crucial ???? Am I using the right one? * Is this recovery a pure! "Android" or a "Samsung mix"? * I have a stock GB on my external sdcard- yet I cannot access it through this menu?

* After pressing "apply update from SDcard", what is a DCIM instal? What is difference between- SDcard and USB storage (doH- is this the 32 pin power connector)?

* If I pressed the "Wipe data/ factory reset" will this clear the external SD or is it the same as a normal factory reset. * Does "Wipe Cache Partion" clear all partion tables (PIT files)??

* Lastly what is redband "fota". System boots normal, but I have previously added one update to phone? *

Because I,m not sure about all the above I will refrain from testing any further, if the forum could fill in the blanks, twood be jolly helpful. *

Old monkey- perfectly willing to fall outa the tree- but not sure of best route? *

PS: Is "cheapskate hacked off at my use of "cheapskate1"? I am after all notoriously frugal, with 20yrs at sea- I,m a skate! Private messages welcome. *

PPS: Noobie, with many Q? trying hard to limit post length- sorry moderators.

newr GB rom and ICS

Nice one, what exacktly can be done in stock recovery- can I flash a stock ICS?

Re- your earlier post, Using the link provided by you- Philz/cwm6 and ICS,

About half way down, there is a comparison. Cwm6 v CF-root

And it says can only be used on existing stock ICS,

Please confirm, GB with non-prerootable kernal> to ICS via Philz/Cwm6 or

Flash stock ICS then Philz/Cwm6 to get root?

Can I flash stock via stock recovery, or better still Odin, what version of odin for ICS.

Keep cool

correction
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Philz is a stock ICS kernel with emmc erase disabled to make it safe. as its a stock ICS kernel..it will only work with ICS only.

so as u on GB now.. just upgrade to the latest version of ICS,

go to philz thread and download the kernel that corresponds to your rom,

install it from stock recovery

- OTA, and a very few mods can be installed from stock recovery.. and you cannot flash any ROM using 3e recovery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopath:
I suggest you get your desktop sorted first so that you can download the right files to it to install Samsung USB drivers and get your Note recognised. Trying to download files via your Note isn't going to make that easier and you need a properly functioning desktop to run PC Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
make efs backup before flashing any other rom. You must have root for that.

Csc ic btw the 3 letter code, thats mostly important if you want same csc rom. Now if you have efs backup it doesnt mind. Justa flash what you want., loose emei/pcode, get networklocked, just restore efs. Want to go back, flash rom back from sammobile. com and restore efs and boom almost true original condition.

check dr ketans guide sticky section development.

Walk throughts with screenshots :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
Cheers,

What is efs? Presumably the stock ROM- I have a GB stock, for my device, on my external sdcard, ready for when chainfire worked!

The csc is different to mine, which is OXXLB1, bought in spain, just changed language.

Whats the diff'

Appreciated
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
efs is a folder that contains vital info about ur phone like

imei

wifi addr

bluetooth addr

etc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
cheers syncopath, have now used explorer to view android files,

Had to switch of usb debug, before it worked properly, yes 2 files one for the external sdcard- all good, and the other for the phone, acces to folders, but not much in many!

So appears drivers are ok.

Time to crash, this daylight savings not good for the digestion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
For - nokiamodeln91,

Thanks for post,

So it safe to say the stock recovery on ICS, is not the same as stock recovery on GB- ie- (3e)?

And so will allow this operation?

Sorry 4 puts question, but need to be sure,

Sounds flipping great if no probs.

Thanks & gnight
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
Syncopath,

Not sure you understand full

I have a samsung galaxy tablet10, which I use as primary internet access,

But thought it may be possible to use the usb from the tab and connect direct to the note and run odin from tablet

Just a thought.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
both have the same recovery unless u root and change the kernel. which operation are u talking about? I'm getting a lil confused here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopath:
You may well find that PC Odin now works if you retry the step you were at in post #9 of this thread. But see my last sentence below.

If you follow the steps I did - and please be very careful to tick exactly the same boxes in PC Odin as I was advised and did, don't experiment! - then you should end up with Gingerbread ROM with a rooted Chainfire kernel, which is what I have:

Android version 2.3.6;

Your current baseband version and build number;

Kernel version XXKJ1 - that is the CF rooted kernel with the lower version number, which remains the same while the rest of the ROM is higher, which gives you root privileges. Once you are rooted you will be able to back up the efs folder and in fact everything on your Note.

Please be advised that I (as yet) have no practical experience with ICS or higher. Others here with much more experience seem to be advising you to go to stock ICS and then root, so I think you need to decide about that first before flashing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
Thanks nokiamodelin91,

Sorry dude looks like I was confusing my self.

I am seriously considering an ICS stock at this time.

I understand I can flash this with Odin, and then apply Philz mod.

Only question is do I need a different version od Odin to do this?

Thanks syncopath,

Got my self into a pickle here, all machines in the house have been re-loaded to try to get this chainfire method working.

I have tryed, on two machines, 3 differnt drivers.

V.1.5.5.0, from Dr Ketans tools,

V.1.15.0 and v.1.350.0, both from softpedia

All downloaded ok via deck top and hard ethernet. No idea why this did not work via my tab10¿

However all three on two machines yeild same results.

Note ME can't run Odin??

I can access phone via explorer,

I can see samsung driver running under hardware manager,

All give yellow flash, but results in frozen factoryfs.ing

Ultimately can't see the drivers a problem.

Only thing it can be is image not allowed.

I am due to try a GB stock just to assure flashing works.

If can't find how to do this then I will have to go ICS.

Many thanks to all

no the 1.85 version is fine
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
newer GB success

Citizens of android, good news, have finally installed factoryfs.img with su

Also upgraded to original rom version with cf-root kernal,

Moral is no not try flashing with a hack windows xp that you got from your mate in the pub!

Noted both Odin and usb drivers did not have compatability tab issue.

Tryed on an official release and all worked ok.

Only questions are,

After flashing newer GB cf-root kernal expected the kernal prompt to change to XXOXALB1

This was label on the zip file,

I have XXLB1. Which is original kernal listing???

Thing is not totally sure i've root, see no system file

And don't see any real difference except I have super user, enabled, and CWM in app's

How do I check, and what is recommended for deleting unwanted app's and set permissions??

Personally would like to see a command consol!

Thanks for all help so far just need to cover this,

Chears people.

job done

Nice one, hav been d.loading apps like they were free!!

Have root and busy slashing and burning some of those irritating self starters.

Perfect, thanks to all on the forum, for at least viewing.

And of course particular thanks to Dr K's tools, whose drivers did work

And the ubiquitous "chainfire"- a nice lead in to rooting, with minimal risk.

Will close this thread,

& start another @ next stress riser??

Happy monkey, listened to his chums, jumped, fell, hit the deck and bouced laughing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopath:
Glad to hear you made it!

The Kernel version in "About phone" should be XXKJ1 if you used the same CF-root as I did (Chainfire's last Gingerbread kernel I think), and the Build number and Baseband version at the ROM you went to, presumably LB1.

If you can paste a file into the /system folder you have root.

I use "Privacy Blocker" from Google Play to stop apps sending information about me I don't want them to send. If you just block an app then it usually won't work. Privacy Blocker feeds nonsense information to the app if you set it to do so, while the app still "thinks" it's doing what its master ordered.

I have found a lot about deleting unwanted apps in these forums. See this thread.

There are quite a number of apps which one way and another implement Busybox. I use "Better Terminal Emulator" from Google Play. With a command prompt you can also use the linux whoami command to check you are root. That's my personal preference because then you see the word "root" which there's no arguing with.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
In respect of my kernal, loaded chainfire xxkj1, and then flashed my stock back, this rom was labelled oxalb1- but after flashing device showed xxlb1.

It,s not a prob', as the build shows correct date, just wondered why the label didnot reflect original label?? *

In respect of run away apps'. Used startup manager and root explorer, all busybox.

Deleted many apps and stopped many others, now only get fm radio and galary starting up+ system apps??

This changes unfortunately when a network is opened, and it does appear apps are uploading there cashes.

So still work to do.

One annoying thing is the remote prompt, under settings/ wireless, is totally inactive, yet under applications "remote" is on all the time??? This was same before flashing.

On the terminal using "top" the VPN remote server is running and this process will not be stut down- very suspicious.

With this I prefer the "romlite" approch, as using "privacy blocker" would appear to consume resourses.

Essentially it looks like I need to totally overhaul the rom to gett anywhere near what I want.

* This was part reason for looking at PIT files and radio rom, as would like ability to keep phone off whilst using wifi, any ideas weclome.

Lastly would also like to initiate standby via terminal or app icon, as being lefthanded I find using power button clumsy.

* No prob' with root, after nokiamodeln91, suggested using su command, can see su as "0" user on "top". So all is good here. *

Thanks for replies, any comments appreciated. *

PS: Had a weird *incident with mobile provide, orange, re-fitted sim card and allways get "voicemail" activated, called 3 times to stop, failed. On 4th try, lost plot with operator, who responded by spiking my phone. Phone locked up and had to reset AGAIN. Could he have left something on my phone? Even though I was on a voice call??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
Finally got to the point where I understand this properly now.

Basically made a back up of the "mmcblk0p1, which is the first partition after the zero block.

Also copied the efs directory from the root browser, not sure if this is needed, but copied just in case.

Comments appreciated,

Many thanks, good advice.
[HTC Sensation] Epoxyburn:
Please be gentle if I failed to research this more fully before posting

I recently went from Stock ICS to CMX (19 Oct). I notice that my battery life is so-so now. I figure I need to update my Firmware/Radio .I want to pair with my Rom correctly. I am currently running :

Phone: HTC Sensation 4G

HBOOT 1.27.1100

Carrier: T-Mobile US

ROM: Bruce2728 CM 10 Jellybean 4.1.2

Radio: 11.69A33504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2

Firmware: ?

Recovery: 4EXT Recovery Touch

I am curious about "kernel-bruce2728-05092012.zip" and "cm-10-TMOUS-DATA-TEST-bruce2728-pyramid.zip"

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
I think you have the TMOUS 3.32 firmware. The TMOUS data test is an old build that tried to resolve some data connectivity problems for TMOUS users

Sent from my Sensation using AOSP 4.1.2
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The battery life on CM10 is questionable right now due to elemetns Google added to the google services framework starting with Android 4.1.2 around October 10th-ish.

It cause nearly constant wakelocks by Google services that are trying to have various google apps talk to each other to sync everything up.

In other words it's using battery during sleep states, even though your battery graph will show that it's not. But when wake the phone up you'll see a quick battery drain down to what the actual level is within a few minutes.

From playing with it, I'd say these wakelocks eat about 10% - 20% of the total battery life, depending on your use. (The more you use the device, the less the wakelocks are hurting you since the hone is awake anyway)

Your radio and firmware are probably not a major factor in the battery drain. Though finding that 'perfect' radio / ril / firmware combo for you might give a small boost. Maybe 5%.

This problem isn't due to the CM Team or the ROM develper. It's a Google issue. I don't know if it's supposed to be doing this or if it's something that will be fixed on 4.1.3. But bear in mind 4.1.2 isn't exactly avaialble for wide spread release in the Android world, so it could just be a bump in teh development road.
[HTC Sensation] Epoxyburn:
Is it worth it to update my radio to 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M ? I see a lot of signatures with other people using it.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
no..problem is we all live in different areas and what works for others might completely disconnect your data due to your area.what you can do is experiment with different radio and ril to find one compatible with your area. remember your old radio so you can return to it if need be. when i switched radio and ril i just experimented to see which was best. start with the basic ics radios and rils this is a good place to start. hope this is helpful. best wishes!
[HTC Sensation] Epoxyburn:
Thank you for the tip. I hasn't sure if ICS radios and ril were compatible with Jelly Bean

Who knows how to back your apps,contacts,videos,pictures etc. on the computer?? I want to root my phone and don't want all my stuff to be gone.:)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Just plug it in and transfer files bro. When you plug it in choose to mount as disk drive when your phone prompts you too. You can then transfer all your pics and notes etc like that. Then to be double sure, use super backup for your contacts, then transfer that file to your computer. But also be aware, rooting will not erase sdcard, UNLOCKING the bootloader will usually reset you. Hope this helps.. root it and boot it ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CheesyNutz:
Google tons of info on this...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Backup your contacts to Gmail. Copy and paste pics and videos to your computer as mentioned above. If you want, you can backup SMS using apps like SMS Backup+. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to backup app data without root, which of course doesn't help in your case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robjbw:
I use "My Backup Pro" to backup my apps etc...(no root necessary). It will backup the apps but without the app settings info. So, if you restore the apps, you have to input your info again. It will backup everything.. sms, contacts etc... I use this app when I need to do a fresh restore. Make sure to copy the backup folder into your pc or Dropbox before restoring "fresh" your phone.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
So it doesn't save app data, like game saves (unless rooted), right?

It looks like it does save MMS, which might be useful for me. SMS Backup+ doesn't do that (will backup your MMS pics to Gmail, but not restore them back to your phone).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robjbw:
No, won't backup saved data. If rooted, I would have used titanium backup. Would save apps+data.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeartFan40:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
The default on Android is to backup all contact info to Gmail. You can verify by simply logging into Gmail on a PC and see if all your contacts are there. If not go into Contacts settings on the phone and merge contacts.

BTW, you realize this is the forum section for the HTC One X/XL, not the HTC One? They are completely different phones. Your post history is all over the place, so I can't even tell what device you own.
