Hi, I have a 160L model with factory firmware with all Korean bloatware. It came with ginger bread, so I updated via kies to ICS. Now there is an update available for JB via kies.

Can I update to official JB via kies and then root my phone?

How do I root my phone?

Please guide me.

Thanks in advance....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
You can update via kies and still root (requires you get Odin and the root patch provided here)

I recommend you factory reset before allowing the upgrade and then you can apply my cherry ROM patch and that will remove bloatware, fix SMS and a few other little fixes.

Guides and links are posted a few post back on this thread.

you can also download the rooted ,tar HERE the file name you want for your phone is:	KIES_HOME_E160LKLJMB2_704944_REV02_user_low_ship.rooted.tar

and flash it via Odin

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
Well my first build didn't boot, I guess it was too much to ask that it would work out of the box, it looks to be kernel issues, I am transferring the kernel files I have that work into it to see what happens.

But I somehow broke my UART connector so that first on the list of things as I won't be able to monitor kernel output.

No, its not going easy on me, good news is I've got it to boot, no gfx etc, just adb right now.

It doing something odd in the cm10 kernel but via my kernel I can get to adb.

I want to flash this after I have flashed TWRP or CWM however, so that I can do NANDroid backups. Do you know where I might be able to find TWRP or CWM that is compatible with SHV-E160S?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dycz21:
flashing the recovery is the first thing you should have done. is the cm9 working properly without the cmw?

are you still using the cm9? if yes, you need to make your phone recognized by kies first. coz kies will not detect your phone when using cm9. what recovery are you using right now?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dycz21:
@rai - are you in full bat or low battery when flashong the recov? try wiping the delvik cache and data then reboot. if it doesnt work, try taking out your battery for 3 mins and reboot. still not working? reflash the rom make sure to wipe dalvik and data cache. still not working? then you need to go back to stock rom reflash recovery and reflash cm9. let me know which ones worked.

@jai. sms limit gone and no more bloatwares. much faster than stock. but there is one problem... we cnt install in sd crd or transfer apps to sd. you can only install inside the 2gb internal memory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] raiorai:
i guess my battery was 50% when i flashed it . i cant do wiping dalvik cache or any wiping coz i cant go to recovery . everytime im trying , still giving me the same result .

ive done flashing the stock rom + root , i can access stock rec , but when it came to flashing CWM , still giving me the same result . tegrak rec , and stock rec no hussle on going there ,:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jairrab:
I haven't used cm9 for quite a while. I know about moving apps to sd, but am not so sure about apps being installed to sd. Is there a setting in cm9 where you set sdcard as default install location?

Also would I still be able to access my internal sd memory of 32gb. How about external sd?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dycz21:
yes you can still access your internal sd & external
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dycz21:
are you in gb when u flashd cm9;? try going bck to tegrak and stock first & repeat the process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] raiorai:
cwm

im on ics when i put cwm . i cant flash cm9 coz i cant access cwm . ive than that before , going to stock fw , flash tegrak before cwm .

when ive flash tegrak rec , im not having any trouble accessing tegrak rec . but when im flashing cwm rec , it always ends up in stuck logo ..

plus , is there any other way to fix the sms problem for e160L ?

i have tried , deleting 6 smcs files , replace it mms,apk .= no luck

editing the number = no luck

3rd party apps = no luck

Could this be the much awaited 4.1? Was hoping to flash it right away but only have 20% battery charge so Kies wouldn't allow me to update yet.

Thank you darkspr1te,

My apologies, I should have been more clear about which file I had been looking for! I downloaded the S version just like you said... In any case I really appreciate everyone's clarity in that these Korean models are not inter-compatible and can cause serious problems if you flash the wrong software.

Also, regarding the TWRP or CWM flash (in order to get the bootloader), I sent you a pm because I cannot confirm which one works with my S device. Many thanks!

I updated to JB. Then rooted using your method.

I uninstalled all bloatwares using root cleaner app.

But there is an annoying icon on the status bar which I want to remove. Dunno what reason its there for.

Hi folks

I thought I would update all on my current cm10 works.

Current builds of cm10/10.1 are broken and surfaceflinger does not work and I am trying to resolve that. Most of the build works out of the box but until the cm gods fix surfaceflinger I can't get into launcher.

Drivers for gfx are still on ICS builds but Qualcomm have released JB MR2 based drivers but cm have not updated the code for it.

Until the above is resolved I am stuck, I don't have the knowledge to patch these issues myself, yet.

Build time is about 3 hours at current,

There is already a 160K on git but it does not build due to issues in kernel-samsung-msm8660.

There is a e120k build about that does work so if anyone spots the git repo for it let me know, that dev (unknown name) has resolved both the surfaceflinger issue and the ICS gfx drivers.

One last rant, there are to many ppl copying and pasting cm port guides that really don't contain info for porting the actual code, they are just 'build' guides really and at the most basic level.

One day when I fully understand what I am doing I will correct that and do a guide that's not been repeated a million times.

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

Once I have have resolved the main issues for my build I will build K / S versions too, it only needs a few text changes and that's it really.

I will upload svoice patches by the week end I hope, I have a crap upload at the moment and I am maxing out at 50Kbytes/s and that's if I kick everyone off the connection.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
Not going anywhere, if anything I am more determined to produce new works. As of today I now have 7 android devices but my 160 is the only one getting any love, the other 6 are just 'used'.

I am currently attempting to link my 3 servers so I can compile across the 3 platforms, never done distribute processing so it may fail and I will have to resign myself to 3 hour build times.

I also want to do dev guides for those that want to learn and support new dev's when things go totally wrong.

I upgraded my desktop to 8gb ram over the weekend but hot had chance to run a compile on it yet, I am hoping the brute force of the CPU and fat ram will get building times to the 1 1/2 mark.

Sorry I have been away a few days. You could go there Ugly Rose but you would need the file named "KIES_HOME_E160SKSJMB1_704944_REV02_user_low_ship.rooted.tar"

And for others, as Darksprite also mentioned, Please make sure the the model number in the file name corresponds with your phone model, as a wrong flash could cause you to be holding an expensive paperweight.

than you for that assurance. im definitely going to keep this phone, much as many already bid to buy this:)

anyways, i had experience a soft brick yesterday, trying to flash back to stock JB, my cutom binary download was on 3 counts already.. and i can only boot to download mode.. everytime i flash the stock JB it fails, good thing i was able to flash back to GB and the phone worked again.. now im stuck to GB cause i cant go directly to JB not flashing ICS..still downloading ICS stock up to this time..

Edit:

now im back at JB, using Darksprite's Cherry, but i cant send sms..dont know why. i can make calls though, but sms fails.. can anyone help me with this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
Its possible that GB cleared your stored SMS center, on dialer use the eng. Code 319712358 pin 0821 and check you have SMS center number stored.

I've jumped GB to jb without issues(vanilla ROM only, cherry ROM does not have a lib/bin folder)

Failure to root Shv-e160S

Hello all,

For the last few hours I have been trawling the forums to see if there was another issue like mine... havent found one so far.

Here goes:

I have successfully rooted my Galnote since I got it a year ago. however I have had it updated to JB in Korea (It was there for a hardware problem, they updated it once they were done). I am currently running the MB1 Stock samsung rom.

I use odin to flash the recovery.tar from tegraks website, and it goes through ok, I reboot, shutdown, then hold the volume up and down simultaneously, push power, released power when it vibrates the first time, release the volume rocker when it shows the samsung logo.

This is where the problem happens. Nothing shows on the screen. it goes black. I have done this countless times with the same result.

If I just start the phone it boots into android no problem (just not rooted). one thing I have noticed is that when I want to turn off/restart my phone after i get that black screen I have to hold the power button for about 10 seconds (soft reboot if i am not mistaken). this would indicate to me that I am indeed in recovery, but just cant see anything. any suggestions?

as I said, I have restarted it numerous times, reflashed recovery.tar twice via odin, but am at a loss now.

Has anyone run into a similar problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
Try reflashing the recovery partition/image, use any of the posted twrp/cwm, choose the correct one for your device (L/S/K)

Sometimes the recovery gets messed up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
I will look into the baidu as a host, thanks.

Small update on current cm10.1 works.

We have Boot! , last night(more like this morning, yawn) I got my first boot without any FC. There is a few bugs in the compile scripts which I trusted too much and have held me back quite a bit, anyway now that I know that the build files are buggy themselves I can stop ripping hair out and get back to making 10.1 work for us.

To cut a long story short I have sent the past two weeks bug hunting code only to find that the compiler make files were at fault, this has wasted a lot of time but now I intend to get back on track,

Still no time scale for a actual release folks, sorry but I am so blind as to everything that needs to be ported that I am fixing one thing at a time, and each time I test its a 2.5 Hour build time (even for one line of code that's changed)

Until I can start talking to other cm devs who have done this before I am learning via guides, books and anything I find posted.

I also see lots of new patched ROMs posted on koxda but not had time/bw to check out.

I do now have a dedicated dev station setup which is helping a great deal as I a not tying up my main computer which is what I run my business from.

Am also hoping this weekend is quiet so I can get some dev done, as easter weekend I am going to a music festival.

Well, that's all for now folks, just a quick update.

Hi all. I've been following Darksprite's work since he started debricking last November and I must say, development work for our beloved SHV's has gone a long way.

With that in mind, I just need some help here.

I've been able to get a copy of the MB2 Jellybean stock rom.

I've also downloaded the long-awaited cherry rom of Darksprite. Whenever I extract it, it shows this error message:

! D:\IDM Downloads\Compressed\darkspr1te-cherry-mb2split.part2.rar: Packed data CRC failed in darkspr1te-cherry-mb2.zip. The volume is corrupt
! D:\IDM Downloads\Compressed\darkspr1te-cherry-mb2split.part3.rar: CRC failed in darkspr1te-cherry-mb2.zip. The file is corrupt

I just attributed this to winrar being retarded so I pressed on.

I've been having trouble installing the rom on my phone, it keeps getting an "Error 7" and it refuses to install the rom. Anyone else have this problem?

Question is, is this a problem with the zip or is this a problem with my phone?

Sorry if this question has been resolved before, I just really want to try out Darksprite's cherry rom because of all the positive feedback it's been getting.

Thanks in advance to any help that can be given.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
Helio, long time.

If winter is giving you a CRC error I would guess the files downloaded corrupt, I tested cherry .rar file with winrar to confirm windows users could extract it. Do you have a md5sum program, I could post check figures if needed.
