Hey guys!

I've been a member at XDA for a while, and i know my way around here quite well, but my buddy wanted to root his new E4Gt and i said okay well check XDA, he said he couldn't find a guide on how to root it in here, and that the guides on YouTube suck haha.

I don't have time to do it for him at the moment unfortunately, anyone that could point me a link on a correct guide to root his phone that I could send his way I would be much appreciative!! He says he has FI27 and that appears it matters when finding the right guide? Idk!! Usually I don't post this type of thread unfortunately strapped for time right now. Thanks in advance :beer:

first time i rooted this phone i used an odin one click, was super easy and then after more looking into it i have grown away from odin mainly because i want to keep my counter low
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m4xwellmurd3r:
Using the Odin one click to gain root DOES NOT increase your counter. It even states that it won't in the guide.

Use the application triangle away if getting a counter increase is your worry. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Haints:
I'm set to meet with a craigslist seller tomorrow to buy his N7000.

I have another thread on here where I asked how to determine whether the phone was or was not genuine. Thanks to the generous response of posters here I'm satisfied that I now have enough information to make that determination.

Now I'd like to know what all of you think I should check for when buying a used Note above and beyond the question of whether it is a fake or not ....

Obviously I'm going to use my sim card and check for call quality, but other than that .... what tests do you think I should make? What should I look out for?

Any and all advice greatly appreciated as I'm somewhat nervous about this purchase (more money than I have yet spent on a phone!).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kromosto:
beside the eye examination of scracthes look for death pixels.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Haints:
Thanks for the suggestion! Do you think I should use a program to look for dead pixels or just eyeball them?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AETAaAS:
There is a built in test set which covers an large number of things. Definitely do the touch test and leave the phone alone for a bit to see if there are ghost touches (you can see it happen here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597981 ).

To start the test screen, go into the dialer and dial star-hash-zero-star-hash. It will help find dead pixels, test cameras and sensors, test the pen and touchscreen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kvsandeepreddy:
download dead pixel test app from play store.... then keep pressing the screen until u get the white screen which is dimly lit.... coz bright light covers up the dead pixels

Check the internal memory, if its less than 11GB (on 16GB version) it could contain "bricked" sectors.

If its rooted, (the phone is) you could install emmc check and check the memory.

As per the thread, this should not be closed. It is very much valid, and could be a guidance to anyone who wants to buy a new GNOTE. The other thread is on authenticity, this one is on the potential issues with used genuine Notes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
Did you care to read what I typed? There are 2 threads of the same type opened by the exact same user. Hence, my question to close ONE of the two threads ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Haints:
Yes, assuming I have some questions related to rooting it, or about black crush, or some other issue related to actually owning the device. That is, unless, there is some sort of rule about how many unrelated threads I am allowed to start. If there is, by all means, let me know about it ...

They are two different threads. The first one was specifically about determining whether or not a Note is genuine. This thread is about other things to watch out for when buying a used Note--dead pixels, etc. Two different subjects. Again if there is some limitation on the number of unrelated threads I can start--please point me to that information.

Here I think you are actually in the right. Yes this thread probably could have gone in Q&A and I realized that only after the fact. However before I could actually delete my first post, I got two or three responses right off the bat, so I decided to just leave it as it was. If a mod wants to move it I won't complain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iqbalasyran:
i came across this matter 1 month ago. someone selling cheap note to my friend. sadly he bought it withot a doubt. when i check it. it was a fake. hardware is note but firmware is s3. the first thing i notice is the homescreen wallpaper. it was galaxy note 2 wallpaper. what i do then is i download android hardware info and check it there. instead of telling model name : GTn7000 it was something else. the cpu and ram is the same. then i go to setting and check for spen setting. there is none! i also restart the phone because if it is a galaxy note the first one to appear is a word : galaxy note gt-n7000. then i check the lockscreen wallpaper and it is different from stock lockscreen wallpaper. then i go checking the storage sadly it was 2g only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
1) Check the watermarks on the phone and battery. I'm not sure where these are located but I know phones always have one to identify water damage.

2) Check the screws to make sure there aren't any marks on them. Marks on them indicate that the owner has opened it before. If he has opened it before, the question becomes, why?

3) Make sure that the phone has 16 GB of internal memory, it should be about 12gb of user space. Run an emmc test on it. If you want, download the app, and put it on your own microSD card and bring it there. So you can sideload it and run the test yourself even if you have no WIFI.

4) Shake the phone to hear for any signs of rattling; an indicator that something could be broken inside.

5) Download the app phone tester to test all the sensors too. Make sure the accelerometer is working, proximity sensor, etc.

6) Play a song/video file to make sure the speakers are functional, and if they are functional, that they aren't busted (e.g., cracking when volume is too loud).

Can't think of anything else....but lastly, trust your gut. If the guy seems shady and something doesn't sit right with you, just leave the deal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] burtcom:
Check the USB charging port!!!!

Bring along a laptop and a USB cable that you know works. Make sure you can charge and that you get a data connection. Gently wiggle the end connected to the phone and make sure the connection doesn't drop.

Great time to buy second hand Androids, since the release of the rediculously cheap yet hi spec nexus 4, I've noticed most people are basing there offers on this new low price level, not sure this is healthy for Android. The note 1 should be worth near to £300 as its the same or was price level as an iPhone 4s, yet most offers come in sub £200....unless you really need a stylus and a old spec rapidly forgotten phone I would wait till nexus 4 or add some cash to the falling in price note 2

So I recovered using recovery.img using fast boot and installed the ROM

Deleted cauche and devik cauche

Insatlled the jelly sandwich again

but this time the mobile network was not working so I reinstalled it still the same issue, so I moved to beautiful hd Rom and instaled it but the sound was very low so I installed the acid patch but the phone was not booting again

so I installed the fastboot recovery image and reinstalled rom after performing cleaning

1,wipe cauche

2.devik cauhe

3.formate system in the same advance option in recovery

Installed the ultimate beautifull hd rom

But as soon as the os loaded the phone got hanged, and was not booting after the sony screen

so I fast booted again.. but this time even after using the same recoveryneo.img for fastboot recovery in download mode(pressing menu key while connecting to usb)

I was able to flash the recovery image but the recovery was not showing up in the phone it stays blank

When I flashed the kernal same thing that is rebooting after sony screen happens

Kindly help me on this

1,reboot my phone to recovery

2, any other way to do the repair with any softwares

Hello

I just updated to cm10 on my LTE; I previously had cm on my og.

I've noticed some features are missing. For example lockscreen gestures and the ability to deny permissions to apps.

Have they simply not been added yet? Are there plans to do so?

In the meantime, is there a root app I can use to block or deny certain permissions on apps?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] T3CHW0LF:
CM7 was based off of Gingerbread and CM10 is Jellybean and uses a updated Linux kernel so I believe that a lot of the old functions havent been rolled over. May I ask which CM10 ROM are you using?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] antwan*:
I've been using deck's CM10.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] T3CHW0LF:
The best one in my opinion. But yeah The Jump from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean is big and many stuff was either removed or changed along the way. I used to use CM7 as a daily driver on my My Touch4G then switched to the EVO LTE and installed CM10 i did notice the change and miss a few things but none the less stick a heck of a lot better than Sense.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ozziwald:
Do you mean root permissions? CM10 comes with Superuser. SuperSU is in the Play Store.

I really miss the filters from CM7. night mode was so useful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] T3CHW0LF:
the 4.2 Camera has a few filters it's pretty awesome.

Deck's CM10 has the new camera built in but if you're using another ROM you'll have to flash the 4.2 camera zip
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Samip430:
No I mean like screen filters. like the night vision filter made your screen red tinted so it's easier to view at night.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] T3CHW0LF:
ohhhhh :silly: my mistake.

I think there are filter settings in the Automatic backlight settings. but you will have to play around with those settings so I don't know if you are willing to do that
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
I was on the phone earlier for a fair bit, when I hung up I noticed the battery at 4%. Got home little bit later and when I checked my phone again it was off, I hit the power button so it began to power on, and I them plugged it into AC charger right away while booting up. A couple of minutes later and I noticed it was still on the "One" boot screen (on a sense ROM at the moment, ViperXL 2.1.1). Tried holding power to reboot and it did the same thing.

Figured I leave it plugged in for a little bit, maybe battery was just really low. After about 30 minutes or so it was plugged in, still on the same screen (couldn't power it off it would just reboot). Tried to reboot again, and got stuck on the same screen. This time however I noticed the phone was quite hot, though it seems to be cooling down slightly since I've unplugged it, but not 100% sure.

What could be the issue/any ideas? I haven't flashed anything in over a week, last being ViperXL 2.1.1 and BeastMode Kernel 3.0. First time dealing with potential boot issues as I am always very careful when flashing. Any help is appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
Try reading threads before you post. You may have read a thread that said don't post questions in General. There is a Q&A forum for this.

Anyways, try erasing the caches and rebooting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
Yeah I was thinking this might not be the right place but wasn't totally sure, I apologize.

I was having trouble getting it to boot into the bootloader as well, forgot to mention that originally, holding volume down and power wasn't working. However after not sure how many attempts I did get it somehow. Perhaps I was holding the buttons down incorrectly, I think I let go of power early the time it worked? Not sure. After a straight system reboot from recovery did not work, I tried wiping cache's as you said and it booted fine! Much thanks. :)

Again apologies from rushing to make a thread, just got kind of frustrated with not being able to boot into even the bootloader or just power it down for awhile, for seemingly no reason. Someone can delete this thread if they'd like. Thank you though!

Almost always a matter of pilot error (as long as you have a charge light coming on, it should go to hboot no problem). Correct way is to hold vol down rocker, don't let it go, then press the power button for 3 seconds or so. Release the power button (but keep holding vol down). Don't let go of vol down until the hboot screen comes up.

If the screen is on, you can do the same as above, with the only change being: holding the power button down for 5 seconds or so until the capacitive buttons flash, then release the power button.

-let go of POWER BUTTON ONLY right after screen goes off and continue holding vol down.

You'll boot into downloader just fine.

Sorry to resurrect a slightly old thread, but was there any solution to this? My phone just died last night and won't start back up. It just stays stuck on the loading screen.

Hey everyone,

Just recently, I've been having a problem with blurry pictures because the photo taker assumes that the photo is taken and saved before it is taken.

Previously on roms, once you press the blue button on the camera app, you see the autofocus do its work, and then it stops (which means the photo has been taken).

However, on the ROM I am currently on, it does the autofocus and the still, but takes like 3 seconds after that before the photo is actually taken O.O I'm not sure why, but this is causing a lot of blurry pictures because autofocus doesnt account for the 3 seconds between the focus and the actually photo taken.

Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Markuzy:
I do not have your phone/brand/rom so I have no experience in your device whatsoever.

However, I think that you are spot on about the autofocus potentially being a cause.

Are you able to disable it or use another camera application that has tap to focus or similar?
[General Questions and Answers] youshoe:
Sorry for the late reply.

Using another camera app causes some glitches (parts of the picture cuts off, streaks of white on the sides, etc.). Tap to focus will not help the problem because there is still a gap between when the pic is taken and when it is focused.

Thanks.
