[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Hey all,

Quite confused here, taking the advice from the older threads I flashed using odin the stock firmware which I got from samfirmware and followed the instructions. Everything installed correctly however the phone will not boot :S

I ticked only PDA in which I entered the md5 file.

Came from cm9 nightly and flashed United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)	2012 July	4.0.4	N7000XXLRK	N7000CPWLP5

Any help is appreciated and needed urgently - Thank you.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
did you make a nandroid?

if you could get into recovery, (and you still have CWM) it would imply that you did not successfully flash the tw-based kernel.

no tw-based kernel means that a TW-based rom will not boot (unless you had hydracore)

buut... if you do have the stock ICS kernel on there, and try to flash anything, you could brick.

so best bet is to flash GB via odin, then flash CWM, SU, and then flash a custom ROM with a safe kernel in it.

pretty dangerous to even use stock ICS rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
when u say phone will not boot? is it blank or stuck on GT N7000 logo or the Samsung glowing logo?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Its stuck on glowing Samsung logo, I'm in download mode now - what is the best option for me? Might just flash GB rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
How can I go into recovery to check that? I only know how to get into download mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
getting into recovery is the opposite of getting into download mode. use power button/ volume up/ home instead of power button/volume down/home

but IMO safest thing to do at all is to just get yourself onto a safe kernel before doing anything else.

flash yourself a stock pre-rooted GB ROM via odin.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1535025

then read this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

this way you will ensure that you are on a safe kernel.

from there get yourself a working version of CWM and move on to whatever ROM you want.

are you trying to flash stock ICS for a service request for the phone, etc? you might be much better off with any stock-based ICS rom.

if after this you REALLY REALLY want a stock ICS rom, then use mobile odin to flash the ROM but use a 'safe' stock kernel with mmc_cap_erase disabled.

this is the closest you can get to bone stock but safe. (this will not even get you rooted).

another advantage of starting with pre-rooted GB stock and going from there is no raised flash counter either.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Doing this now, hope it works - using the GB rom from when I first rooted (from GB) so hopefully should work
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
its just a matter of doing a wipe cache and wipe dalvik and data wipe. but as u on ics u can't. unless u install a safe kernel. If you installing gb, then after that reboot into recovery

vol up + pwr + home and then do a data factory reset, wipe cache and all should be good
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
it's possible, but quite unlikely, that you have already hardbricked your phone between flashing stock ICS via odin and the boot.

more likely than not you are fine.

next time remember to make a nandroid. and never flash stock ICS kernels (or especially flash anything while already on a stock ICS kernel). these are the top 2 rules of having an n7000. if you follow them in teh future you will never have any problems

and please thank me if my posts helped ;)

FWIW there were reports of hard bricks using the new stock JB kernel too, as Samsung decided to patch the bug 'their own way', which didn't seem to work. so only thing which is 100% safe is when mmc_cap_erase is disabled
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Ah Relief - Finally got the phone booted into GB rom. How can I now install the Stock unrooted ICS room? Can't I just upgrade using OTA? I'm selling the note on ebay so need it to be fresh ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
as the phone is in the boot loop its clear indication that it's a data corruption problem and not a brick at all. Just need that wipes after ics install on a safe kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Thanks for this, you're right it wasn't a brick - I'm now on a safe GB rom but really want this note to be in a stock unrooted ICS rom for the person buying it off me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Connect to kies and update. If not use the same ics rom and flash it using odin. This time phone will start.

Before that while on gb do a factory reset.. connect to pc and format internal storage for you to get rid of all data
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
edit:

post removed.

if you are selling it, then I guess bone stock (without even safe kernel) is the way to go

just bear in mind with my method it is possible to get onto stock unrooted ICS but with a kernel without the bug.

I am not 100% certain if the phone will update OTA with that kernel though, so I guess use the other method
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
So if I use the OTA install method, there is a risk of bricking my device? I really don't think the person buying my phone will fiddle around with roms and kernels - so what do you reckon I should do? Does mobile Odin download a safe kernel for me?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
give it in stock gb only.. let. him upgrade
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Hmmm this current GB rom is rooted though so you reckon its better to unroot it and just sell as GB? I didn't specify GB or ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
Flash stock GB over odin.

if you wanted to be nice to the user, you could flash a ROM with a CSC corresponding to whatever region they are located in. That way you can factory reset and it will show up in the language they are used to.

If he is on stock, it will automatically go look for updates and tell him he could update

Might actually have to do that, this phone is european so it starts in German...since when did German become the EU language right?! We won the war :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III General] Kremata:
Why my SGS3 doesn't make my coffee? It sounds like a ridiculous question, right? But hear me out. When Bluetooth came out in 1994 it was said it will change our lives. It was said we would be able to control all appliances in the house by bluetooth. But here we are 18 years later and I have yet to see a single Bluetooth coffee machine. Or is it just me who doesn't look at the right place. What are the coolest gadgets you can control from your SGS3? I know I can control my PC (with Splashtop) but what else? Or what would you like to be able to control with your SGS3?(don't say your wife he he he)

Note: I'm not sure if it should be in the accessories or general section. So...
[Galaxy S III General] speedyjay:
Is this really necessary?? Why would you want to control things with your phone anyways? Stop being lazy and do it yourself....and p.s you can control your Xbox providing you have one....still a pointless thread though
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
Well you can control your smart samsung TV/AC/Washing machine/hotel door with your S3 :p (London 2012 hotel).

[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
That is one nice thread!

You are absolutely right about the promises made about bluetooth. However, even although it's 18yo now, how far ago has it become really useable?

Bluetooth 1.0 was a waste of time: limited range and extremely slow transfer rates. Even although we're starting to see BT 4.0 devices, BT 2.1 is the actual widespread standard. That is the standard my car has.

In the car, I can interact with my phone to make phone calls, and all the neat stuff S-Voice allows for.

In my SE W810 there is a built-in app that allows me to use the phone's bluetooth (2.1) to remotely control a PC without the need for any extra software in the PC. That is: the phone works as a bluetooth HID.

That is it, and I only prove your point: BT has failed to keep its promise.

HOWEVER...

... now that Arduino (and other AVRs and MCUs) are becoming so popular and accessible, we are seeing more and more amateur and domestic automation solutions using bluetooth to control anything using a phone. I am one of these Arduino enthusiasts that has lots of ideas (but very little time to implement them) on home automation using Bluetooth or ethernet. Since I am also an android developer, several of my ideas involve marrying the 2 of them through BT: arduino + android controlling home appliances.
[Galaxy S III General] istoner:
My wife promised to buy me a S3 if I gave her a back rub everyday for a week. So see, S3s can already be used by a human to control another human.

After a little more research I found an expresso machine that is android. http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/06/10/android-based-coffee-brewery/

But the coffee machine was just a example. I'm really wondering if there is some other house appliance (lamp, microwave etc..)available yet.
[Galaxy S III General] d0p3d:
http://www.i2home.org/ Seems to be a major project on this kinda stuff
[Galaxy S III General] Kremata:
Well Smart home exist since a long time but they are not Android/bluetooth. You need to buy the whole package and build your house with the wires. Bluetooth is different. You can just buy different appliance from different companies and control them with your Android phone.(Well, in theory) Anyway, I guess we are not there yet. I just hope we won't have to wait another 20 years.
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
Well the iPhone can control your mind and turn you into a dribbling idiot.
[Galaxy S III General] Kremata:
Ha ha ha ha so true, but for accuracy purpose, I think you have to be a dribbling idiot in the first place to buy this phone.

That would be awesome. I heard BT v4 is a huge improvement over previous versions and is much easier to implement in home appliance.
[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
What's not necessary is your dickhead attitude bro. What's wrong with asking technical questions. Being lazy? Are you freakin' kidding me? You know this is nerds forum right?
[Galaxy S III General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
I've thought about this too, with things like the ardruino and the raspberry pi out there, you can pretty much do anything you want. It would obviously take some research if you don't have the knowledge yourself. I really want to be able to control my AV amp from my phone, constantly misplacing the remote but I never missplace my phone.

I'd certainly be interested in the lamp project too, will you be posting a tutorial when you complete the project?
[Galaxy S III General] alias_neo:
I've got Arduinos and Raspberry Pi's at home, I'd likely do this over HTTP, so it can be controlled over the net. I've got a couple of lighting projects in the works so ill probably tack the SMS/Call thing onto that.
[Galaxy S III General] Kremata:
Wow! This is just awesome. I didn't know about this Raspberry Pi thing. Now I found a Raspberry Pi Android-TV. I'ts the size of an old USB drive and has Android ICS on it. You just plug it on any tv with HDMI and you have a full Android ICS on tv.

Now I'm wondering. Is there a way to control an Android device with another Android device? I already have Splashtop streamer on Win7. I can fully control my PC from my SGS3(even via internet). I would like an app that I can control an Android tablet from my SGS3.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Where is this file located because I searched in Root Explorer and did not have it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
So I'm setting up a new linux box with my xperia for the first time. Previous was a Motorola device. Now I get that ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce" is the proper identifier for Sony. What I'm trying to figure out is my device identifier now... anybody?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
Well this works.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce",MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev"

adb recognizes the device just fine now. Thing is I still can't backup using ./adb backup -all

Still getting the dreaded "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation." This is one of the reasons for setting up a linux box. My Windows laptop won't do it ever since the upgrade to ICS. I'm open to suggestions lol.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
It's located on a linux computer in /etc/udev/rules.d folder.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriBeard:
So I know that in android you can mount an sd card/memory stick through the proper adapters. So would there be any interest in a case with a micro sd pass through that would allow you to plug the cord into the case and use the phone like usual as far as charging and syncing goes, however you could also put a memory card slot in the case and then have the memory card slot that we all want. If there is interest in this, I was thinking about putting it on kickstarter, but I don't know who to approach as far as actually making it would go.

Anyone have interest in this or ideas for how to make it happen? If it seems popular, it could also be useful for other phones like the one x and galaxy nexus that also don't have internal card slots
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatalityBoyZahy:
This sounds like a good idea, but how would a case like this be managed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
I was looking or this forever on my gnexus, but never found it. I would be all for it if it can be done well. I fully plan to use wireless charging so using the usb slot would be ok with me. I just don't want any wires in the way or for the case to add much bulk either. I think that would be the case for most people as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCreazy:
You could build one yourself if you were crafty enough, it would be a nice little project.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batano:
I had the same idea but because i am a Student i dont have the money and time to make more than one :P but i would be very happy to see This on Kickstarter and follow how this idea will grow
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriBeard:
Unfortunately, I am by no means crafty enough to make one of these, and I don't even have a nexus 4 (waiting to see about cdma/lte and going from there). I guess I could try and put it on kickstarter as there does seem to be some interest, but as I mentioned earlier, I just don't know where it would go from there if I got enough backing. I feel like if I contacted a case maker and they thought it was a good idea they would just make it and claim it as their own. Any Ideas?

What about a stylish, ergonomic t-shaped Microusb flash drive?

Easier to keep in the pocket when you don't need it and much more elegant than carrying over an otg cable plus a usb flash drive.

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

.... and what about a nice and t-shaped Microusb Microsd card reader?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriBeard:
I guess that could work, but the reason I kinda liked the case idea was that it would retain the use of micro sd cards, so you could swap in older ones or get new ones for cheap. I'm thinking matte black for the case, something similar in thickness to an otterbox commuter if that would be possible with the needed circuitry. Thinner if it could work
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HearthC0re:
I really like the idea. Once i have my N4 i'd put my name down in an instant.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehunt33r:
Good idea !

If I've got time, I'll try this with an OTG cable and a card reader :) May be great to do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriBeard:
https://sites.google.com/site/sonicboomworld/my-projects/otg-diagrams

The second image there would be something like what I could use. have the charging one come out on the bottom of the phone/case in a similar position to where the current one is now, and then have the other one inside the case. Then I could get just a very small micro usb adapter and put that in the empy port on the inside of the case (which would have a molded cut out so that when you put the phone in it would fit fine and you couldn't tell it was there). Then you would be able to take the phone out of the case, put in whatever card you wanted, and then put it back in the case and not be able to tell it was there.

EDIT:

Maybe an sd card reader like this:

http://dx.com/p/kawau-world-s-small...558?rt=1&p=2&m=2&r=3&k=1&t=1&s=125517&u=25558

I would love for this to be more integrated, like the case just has a flap on the back, you peel it back and then you have a regular micro-usb slot like your typical phone has, but I don't know how technologically feasible that is. This seems like something that is more doable, at least for now
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehunt33r:
For the SD reader I thought about something like this : http://www.amazon.fr/Kingston-FCR-M...3NCU/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1351701854&sr=8-6

It's very flat. Then just connect it to a rippped-off OTG cable and should be fine ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriBeard:
That would actually work better probably. You could just take the housing off of the usb port and glue/solder the usb connectors together that way. Then have the memory card slot inside the case ready to go.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zurginator:
I have an idea on how to build Microdrives.... It'll be a few months before I can test though, I just lost my job and need to find another.

If the prototype works, I'll see about contacting suppliers and doing a Kickstarter run. Either that or I might do limited production of hand-made ones. That wouldn't be cheap though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyB513:
I wonder if it would work to pull the sd card reader out of another phone. they are much smaller than even the examples you guys have found so far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttpm15:
Cool idea, i think one of the silicon type of case would be a good starting point.

i would imagine the sd card reader will only add a little thickness, if you guy can somehow sneak in a small battery for some extra juice would be great.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDavi:
This would be cool. Make it more bad ass a power skin/ mophie battery case with a SD card slot. I have no idea if its possible but it would be bad ass
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
How bout a SD and LTE enabling case? Then this would no doubt be my next phone :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectroBeijing:
Hell yes I would be interested in one of these! Unfortunately I could not provide any help with the construction or designing of one, but I would undoubtedly buy one if this happens.

Also, I just had this idea-

So someone before mentioned making it kind of like a Mophie case. I like that idea, but what if it was taken a step further, and was made as a battery pack/SD reader? Now, I'm not talking a huge extra battery here, it'd be nice to keep it thin, but enough to increase your total battery to 1.2 - 1.5x the original. I know that would be quite a bit more expensive, and probably is an unrealistic idea, but I figured I'd throw it out there in case maybe it's not such difficult idea, and someone would be interested in that.
