If it's s off worst case scenario flash latest official ruu. Take to store. Then just unlock and flash recovery later.

But yeah, if you didn't activate the sim via Verizon wireless online its not happening
[HTC Rezound] devilsadidas:
I had the same issue. I did have to runn the ruu. Make sure to s-on first
[HTC Rezound] Nyobie:
Be sure you're SIM is seated. A poor connection can give you grief. Remove the SIM and reinstall it. I had the exact same issue. Once I reseated the SIM, mine activated right away. Give it about 3-5 minutes. The network load could cause activation to take a few minutes according to the employees at the store.

Hope this works for you. Good luck!

I've currently got a Verizon Galaxy S3 with the Qcell extended battery. I've got the Note 2 on preorder and have already begun looking at extended batteries for it. Of course, the Qcell 6200 mah is going to be good: http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Comp...52674262&sr=1-2&keywords=galaxy++note+2+qcell

But, I was browsing ebay and noticed that there is a 7600 mah available. Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

There's a decent chance it's actually a 760 mAh battery lol. I'd go with a reputable brand (who still often advertise more mAh than they actually use)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] UpsideDownAce:
Holy crap those batteries are huge!!! O.O

You must be on your phone 24/7 if you need a battery like that. The Note 2 can easily get through a whole day with the stock battery.

Well I'm a student and plan to use the phone a lot for a whole day, including reading pdf's and stuff on it. It will basicaly be a dual use phone and tablet. Therefore, I really need the battery.

I had the original Note before returning it because its battery life was so short. I could literally see the battery % draining while using it.

1. i edited the gps.conf

2. my gps conf looks different from what people post here, i dont have anything talking about debug level and stuff, only servers and supl- is it normal?

3. i tried downloading xtra data, it fails, saying my gps chip might not support it..

so what's up with all those things? now, 1 year later, can someone give my some guides on what to do? i have android 4.0.1 CW mod v6, rooted.

My question: I have a SGN infected with the eMMC bug, and I want to upgrade it to the latest stock ROM. I know very little about flashing, and I know there are some risks when doing some things. I would like to know if the first link is safe for me, and which ROM I should use of the ones listed there (I live in The Netherlands). Do you guys have any tips or some guides made for the noobs among us?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
that 1st link is the safest and best.

download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....

Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.

If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistajoe83:
theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM

Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software

Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.

every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug

theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
tried a few usernames dint work. tried the Samsung too, na.. then nokia to the rescue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddepolen:
So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?

If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistajoe83:
yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.

yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....

If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....

1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..

Warning :

Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery

Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.

Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM

let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.

first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...

what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.

2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..

if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.

but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom

Sorry to post a thread but I need help ASAP and I know these forums aren't as lively as they have been in the past.

So I used my nandroid backup to downgrade to hc from CG rom and I'm stuck in a boot loop. Not sure what to do as I sold it on Ebay and supposed to ship tomorrow. Reinstall cg rom from recovery and try to download stock hc onto zip and then install that in recovery?

I can still get into recovery. Should I reinstall cg rom? Or factory reset? Or....?

I'm hoping I can reinstall cg rom and get it running and then I can download an hc rom, and then install that from recovery. But I don't want to do anything else for fear of messing something up more than it already is at the moment.

Any help is graciously appreciated.

If you plug it into a pc does it recognise the device, or even an android device?...Im no expert but Ive had some bad roots in my time and got very affraid. Ive found that if a pc can recognise it all hope is not lost. Saying that Ive also found that PC's have problems with very flat batteries. Leave on the the PC usb to charge for several hours before you pass judgement...I know this is a difficult option on the Fire but if that doesnt work you could try to remove the battery for a couple of hours. This is hands on stuff I never tried....there might be something on You Tube? Im Guessing since the battery is enclosed it might not be a simple "lift out"!!!!! As far as I am aware there isnt a recovery or download mode you can boot into...:( You could try seaching Kindle fire Hard Brick / soft brick for more information....A soft brick is good!!! Not very good but better than hard brick!

In future Id ask to see your friends device running rooted or with a different ROM. I only do mine and family until I know I can make it work...

Sorry, but you're likely bricked. There is another thread on here about the same thing.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeester1:
So no life what so ever....:(

Well Like you say hang on to it. I wouldnt hold your breath for a fix in the next couple of weeks though....The root is only an exploit and roms are pretty far away. Given the fact that there isnt a DL mode or recovery mode your brick is still gonna be just as broken in 2 weeks time.

As far as I am aware the Root is an Exploit. It doesnt actually unlock the bootloader it just tricks it, so ROMS are a long way away..

Someone will do it...they always do. If it can be programmed by people it can be hacked by people. Given the way Amazon locked it down though it might be months. Mind you they said that about the ROOT and that took days...So I could be wrong!

How about selling it for spares on E-bay....The battery is gonna be good and people are always dropping stuff so the case and screen will be worth something!

Im really sorry about your device...Im pretty noob to android and have screwed a device trying to go a step further. It does suck but I kept at it and I am learning......SO next time dont give it your M8 to screw up....Try not to screw it up yourself....:)

Lucky enough you can get in download mode. You'll need KK4 (Odin or Heimdall, whichever you're the most comfortable with), from there you'll be able to flash a custom kernel with Odin 1.85 and finaly flash whichever ROM you want.
