[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jman0:
Rooting is done by booting the phone into factory mode (power + volume down on bootup) and then using MTK Droid Tools 2.2.8 or 2.2.9, which has a "ROOT" button. After it finishes, you have to do a full wipe to get the phone working and rooted. You have the tools and a how to on this same thread.

The tutorial on Mediafire you have mentioned is for recompiling boot.img, which contains the bootup process and the Android kernel. I've not tried it myself, so I can't tell you anything. After flashing that new boot.img, the phone should (supposedly) be easily rooted. But the only rooting method we know that really works is the one said above.

My Mediafire link leads to a new Clockworkmod recovery image I just finished compiling today, to fix some bugs in the previous one.

Backup will never work unless someone is able to modify the source code of clockwormod recovery, so the backup process sees the custpack partition. That exceedes my knowledge, so I'm not trying to do it at the moment. That's why I'm trying to develop a script we can use to, in some way, substitute the backup process inside CWMR. If I'm able to get a working script, the backups made with it should be directly restoreable with CWMR.

Full wipe is not advised from my old CWMR only, which is not available anymore on Mediafire. It should only be done from the stock recovery or the new CWMR I just posted.

Anyway, never forget one thing: I'm offering these tools with no warranty at all. If you don't feel confortable with flashing recovery images or executing shell scripts, then maybe you should look for a simpler way to do it, but Im afraid there's none at the moment, unless unlockroot or the other existing rooting scripts support our phone. The problem with the backups will remain until, as I said above, someone modifies the source code.

Regards.

Hi folks,

I could'nt get the CWM Recovery flashed. I tried it with the sp flashtool 3.1222 and 3.1224 but I always get the failure notice "not enough storage space".

The I tried it with the mobile uncle tools (m44tools), flash recovery from sdcard. I can choose the correct file recovery.img, then the phone restarts into the recovery mode and I get the failure notice that he was able to mount but cannot find the recovery img.

Could anybody please give me an advice how to do it?

Best regards

Cyberdog

EDIT: Found my failure, just used a to old version of mobile uncle, with the one, every is fine. But why does the flah not works?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jman0:
Finally, I've managed to create a script that can make backups compatible with CWMR. Last night I made a backup, wiped data on my phone and after rebooting it and effectively checking my data had been erased, I was able to restore my backup from recovery.

To keep this thread cleaner and put all the intructions for rooting, flashing CWMR, and performing usable backups, into the same place, I've just opened a new thread on the development section. Here's the link:

Hi,

rooting the 997D is, on my 997D (latest update), very buggy. First the MTK Tools (2.2.9) freezing many times (Win7 64) at the rooting procedure. The 997D freezes too at rooting procedure, so i have to switch the battery out of my mobile. After success rooting, i become an soundbug, always i tap on screen the sound of a game or app scatches hard. Sound like a broken speaker. After flashing the orginal firmware all was ok.

What did you think? Got the same problems?

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jman0:
Every problem during rooting of this phone, should be solved performing a data wipe just after rooting.

Hi,

after rooting my 997D my google play store is lost. I tried to install it by an apk-file but everytime i reboot the phone it tells me, google play has to be closed. How can I get the google play store back again? Is it possible to deinstall it (without crashing andoid) und reinstall? How?

Thx in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jman0:
On this phone, after rooting it's always mandatory to do a factory reset from recovery. Sorry, but it's the only way. A factory reset will not unroot the phone, but you'll have to reinstall everything again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stw500:
Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention that I did a factory reset. In between I was able to solve the problem by deinstalling the play store updates in the phone-preferences, after that the play store was resetted to the factory-settings and worked perfectly.

i just flashed the German JB rom and i found out that i can't use gestures on the keyboard anymore and it's really annoying to use normal method for input cause it's slow should i download swype keyboard for it and ignore samsung keyboard?

any suggestions?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo237:
Jelly Bean 4.1 doesn't. However, 4.2 does. I would strongly suggest you use Swype....I am amazed by how accurate it is. I use it on my arc S and I barely make mistakes over it. It's the best gesture keyboard out there. I use HTC stock trace keyboard on my sensation XE, and make mistakes very often. Just go with Swype.

P.s. I Swype'd this without a mistake too. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You can, just hold down the settings icon on the keyboard, tick continuous input. Its the same as Swype.You just need to have Predictive text turned on... Thats in the Official JB release...

Did you do a fresh install or did you install over your old system.? Did you re-install a Titanium backup or any other type of backup?

Doing this may result in undesired things happening as you are going from 1 OS to another. I cleared cache and dalvik when I installed original through Mobile ODIN. I can tick continuous input. I have no idea why yours is greyed out other than the reasons above...

Is performance of keyboard any better under jelly bean than it is on ics? I find the predicted words appalling on ics.

In this post it would not predict:

Find

Word

Post

Predict

I also tried the word sentence, and it didn't like that either.

I do find that after tapping the word out, it will then predict out next time I swipe it, which makes me feel it is a dictionary error of some kind.

In that last sentence it refused the words feel and kind.

Does anyone else have this problem? (Noting that words anyone and else failed while swiping that last sentence !)

I have the Galaxy Note 2 and previously had the Galaxy Note, neither of which have this problem. Swype works fine too.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JDMpire:
Could you please explain how to do that. I am familiar with flashing using a recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Can that be done that way or do I need to use an RUU on the computer?

Does the bootloader get relocked?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
What do you want to do? Go to a Sense ROM? Just go to the Android Development Section and choose one you like and flash it through recovery. Simple as that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JDMpire:
Thanks, I think I'll try that. Doing it the "official" way of using the RUU files always errors out in the end. It doesn't give a reason.

I already put the stock recovery back on, I guess I'll have to put TWRP back to to flash again...

frustrating.... All to just sim unlock my phone... aaaahhhh!!

Try ViperXL it's a fantastic ROM
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
He just said you need a Sense based ROM, not official firmware or RUU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JDMpire:
I didn't want to take any chances with a 3rd party rom that just so happens to have sense built in, I wanted the original OEM software. I was having troubles because I was having a hard time finding the correct RUU file to flash. Look at these file names and try and decipher them:

RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3_R2_Radio_0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L_release_262092_signed.exe

Or

RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.73.502.2_2FE6772699D8596307CC997452BB8D25.exe

BUT NONE OF THOSE WORKED!

But I found this: htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe. and it worked. At least this file name has AT&T in it...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
The stock pre-rooted ROMs are all posted in Development as well. You could have just flashed one of those from recovery, instead of having to relock/re-unlock the bootloader and mess with RUUs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SquidLord:
tl;dr `rm -rf <directory>` returns "Directory not empty"

I noticed that the old folder for Google Currents [/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.currents] kept showing up regardless of how many times I 'cleaned it' with the app SD Maid. ES File Explorer returns that it contains 7 folders and contains 0 bytes and cannot be deleted.

Instead of letting an app handle it, I just mounted my phone with go-mptfs and decided to `rm -rf` from there. That returns "Directory not empty". There's two folders each with the same amount of sub-folders with similar names. Both contain files that are registered as 4GB with crazy characters as their name [according to my file manager]. `ls -al` won't list anything in any of the directories, but it will spit out that it can't find anything.

`rm -rf` through adb shell spits out the same error as before and Windows Explorer shows the same files with 4GB sizes. Despite the files appearing to be deleted through a file manager they still appear on the phone.

I'm completely stumped here. The only idea I've come across that makes a little sense is fsck, but I'd like to hear other ideas before I venture into unknown territories.

Ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I have had I think the same issue with fders in a few occasions. For a while what I was doing was just renaming them BAD. Since it would not let me delete them. I had the same kind of issues where something in the folder would just refuse to be deleted. I THINK some part of the file got corrupted between doing something on a windows machine and my phone.

After I had a few BAD, BAD1, Etc files I finally decided to back up all my WANTED/NEEDED files and apps or whatever I had on my sdcard (internal) to a PC. This took a while with almost the whole sdcard filled. Once it was done I was then able to go into recovery and format my sdcard (internal) via cwm recovery. Then I restored all my files/folders I wanted/needed back to phone. It is the ONLY WAY I was able to get rid of it. Hope this helps ya.

Output : 5V = 1A LPS

So can i Safely charge my Note 2 with any of the above chargers ? Or will charging with any charger Harm/Damage my Note 2's battery/internal components...?

Thanks.... :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] epicfailguy2:
As long as the Amper on the charger you use is lower than 2 there is no risk.

Voltage should always be the same or else it will damage your phone. (5volts = USB standard voltage)

If you use a 2,5 A charger the note will charge faster but will heat and damage the battery.

If you use a 1 A charger the note will charge twice slower than with the 2A charger but this charge will last longer because slower charging gives a little better battery life :) When I charge the note on USB 2.0 (0.5 A) / 3.0 is at 0,8 ampers it takes a whole night to get around 90% but my note lasts usually a little longer than when I fastcharge with the stock charger (one gets lazy to charge when a battery lasts so long lol...)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] methodz:
You can in theory use those other chargers but the charge time will be significantly slower, probably double the time. I used my nexus one charger which I use to charge everything in my room and I got an error message saying that I needed a stronger charger. You may get that message as well on those 1A chargers. I have been successfully been able to use my 1.8A blackberry charger with success though as well as my 1.5A griffin at work but I shorted the pins on the cable I use on that charger.

Like I said you can maybe use those other chargers but you may get a power message. You're best off with the stock charger.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] exconvictriddick:
From what I understand through research, It doesn't matter at all. Stay around the official amp voltage range. If it is a bit high, the phone will regulate how much power it draws from the charger. If it is a bit lower, then expect slow charge.

Why not?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Aylarth:
I am using a Galaxy S III charger, I guess I am not causing any harm with that... ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
You can use any charger that outputs at 5 volts. Even if the charger is 5 volts 10amps. The phone will only draw as mu current as its built to draw and no more than that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] stephen2529:
Been using my s2 charger since I got my note 2 with no trouble at all. I also sometimes use my HTC desire charger and again no trouble here.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flaring afro:
Hmm I thought changing the voltage makes the difference in how much power it draws (and puts into the battery) and the amp rating is how much power the charger is meant to give. So if the phone uses up 2 amps at 5 volts, then it could overheat a charger rated at 1A at 5 volts.

That's how powering something like LEDs works. If an LED is rated at drawing 700 ma at 3.3V, a power supply rated at 3.3V and 700 or higher will work - it could be rated at 2,000 at 3.3V and the LED would still draw 700. If you raised the voltage to 3.7V, then the LED would consume more than 700mA and would be brighter, if it's made to take the higher voltage.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
This is correct. As long as you are using a standard USB charger, which will output 5v, you will be fine. The amperage will determine how fast your phone will charge. A charger with an output of 0.5A (500mAh) @ 5V, which is equal to 2.5 watts, will charge your phone slower than a 1A @ 5V (5 watt) charger.

No need to worry about hurting your phone with a higher amperage output. Your phone will only use as much current as it can handle. If it is rated to draw 900mAh @ 5V, doesn't matter if the charger can output 1A, 2A, or 5A, the phone will only draw a maximum 900mAh.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mike61096:
Yes, its perfectly safe. I've used my iPad charger to charge my note 2 before, because it charges at 10 volts intsead of 5 so the phone charged faster.

I use whatever charger is available and fits. Have for YEARS. You guys worry too much about crap. It is just a phone, if it breaks, I'll buy a new one. Never had a problem though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gub:
Using other device's charger is usually OK. But...

- An iPhone charger will work but because apple doesn't use the same standard to signal a USB charging port, you will be limited to 500mA (i.e. slow).

- Using another phone charger most of the time but because they are usally rated 1A instead of 2A it will charge slower.

The Note 2 seems to be quite picky about chargers and cables, for example, I couldn't get a full charge with cheap micro-USB cables from eBay and my old Nexus One charger. The best IMHO is a quality 5V charger that does at least 2A and follows the USB charging port convension of shorting D+ and D-.

More than 2A is not a problem because the device will only use as much as it needs. However if it is less, as the phone will try to pull 2A, the voltage will drop bellow the acceptable threshold. Usually the phone can adapt by charging slower but for some reason it didn't work with my Nexus One charger (1A).

That's too bad - I am not a dev - but it seems to me that if those two things are the only things that don't work, it wouldn't be that difficult (for someone who knows what they are doing) to port it over to ATT?

I wonder if we could talk the Dev who developed FROSTY for TMOBILE to port it ? I'd be willing to give a decent donation to him - maybe I will try to bribe him - :)
