[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SystemErrorOne:
No what I meant was this. I received my galaxy note phone yesterday in the mail (not my first one) and I rooted it the phone was in stock ICS 4.0.4. Then I flashed TWRP recovery and I downloaded the Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-d2att.zip and put it on the phone (on the phone being the root of the phone),Then I proceeded to flashing it (the rom.zip file) and it (it being twrp recovery screen) said it was successful. Then as soon as I press reboot, the phone did not turn on after that.

NO it wont go into recovery mode nor download mode. YES I know how to do that.

What I Said about the "you need to format the disk in drive e before you can use it " I am assuming is a driver issue. So I re installed the drivers.

please let me know if you want me to reiterate more im more than happy to TRY and explain better. Thanks.

wow, sorry to hear that

new phone to brick in 24 hours?

so far anybody that has come in and said their phone is bricked has not fixed it(that kept it)

because i believe 2 folks have already did warranty exchange on it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mauijpm:
The d2att is not for our phone. Ours is the QUINCYATT. The rom didn't brick your phone. Flashing the wrong file did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SystemErrorOne:
Yeah Its no biggie, i mean i have another galaxy note i just got this one as an extra but i guess ill just return it since i got it like 2 days ago but what really grinds my gears is the freaking admin on the facebook page..I mean not everyone is a freaking genius and no i am not a noob i consider myself knowledgeable enough to flash a freaking .zip folder AFTER getting root access obviously, but to beat down on someone and question them if they even know if their device is bricked in a smart ass manner is uncalled for. YES me, I posted a comment on liquidsmooth fb page if I didnt make it clear enough. I just hope everyone gets their devices working and the devs continue on making progress on this rom because I bet if i was able to boot up properly or in my case boot up at all, Its probably a bad ass rom for someone looking to try a different one besides panaroidandroid rom.

and that might be the issue [user wise] but i doubt it..i have flashed is not for our phone. Ours is the QUINCYATT based roms before and everything would work. correct me again if im wrong like always..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mauijpm:
It looked it up and the d2att is the ATT Galaxy S3 and from what I understand has completely different hardware. What I have read on XDA in the past is if you flash a rom that isn't for your phone, you will brick it, more often than not. Sorry this happened to you, but I'm guessing that is why your phone is hard bricked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Well that confusion is from the OP, where the download link for RC8 points to a download page, and the first rom option is d2att.zip

I guess it is assumed that everyone is "supposed to know" that quincy is the one for the Note (which you have to scroll down further to get to)

Of course that could have easily been avoided by linking only to the rom for our Note, but im sure the reason is to have a central download page for all phones that they have liquid for

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

some have still stated that the quincy one bricked their phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mauijpm:
This OP says "RC8 [QUINCYATT]". I understand that the link pointed to an all-rom area, but as users, if we are unsure it is our responsibility to post in the forum or send a message to the OP or someone who has successfully flashed the ROM.

Regarding the ones who did flash the QUINCYATT file and still bricked their phones, I've yet to see one person post that they did a MD5 check before flashing. When a server is having issues, a MD5 check is crucial. I do it before flashing any ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheDeveron:
From A User That Actually Reads and Follows Instructions

Just because the first ROM option is d2att.zip does not mean that it's the one for your particular device. The download page listed is not just for the Note ROM but for all the devices that the ROM is developed for. The person you're quoting that says they flashed the quincyatt zip most likely mistyped because in their previous post they say they also flashed d2att which is more likely. Bottom line is both you and SystemError flashed the GS3 ROM and are complaining about bricks that you guys yourselves caused.

The world is becoming a sad place as many are looking for instant satisfaction and reliance on reading skills is on the decline.

As for my experience, I was getting frequent reboots on JellyBeer so I decided to flash this ROM. Downloaded the quincyatt.zip and checked the MD5. Performed my full wipe routine that I gained from my Captivate days (Wipe Data/Factory Reset x3, Wipe Cache x3, Wipe Davlik Cache x3) and consecutively flashed the ROM, GApps, and the Add-On package. Have been running the ROM for a couple of days now with no reboots or slow downs. The only problem that I have incurred is the already noted one of widgets crashing the stock launcher. Other than the widget FC the ROM has been "LiquidSMOOTH," excuse the pun.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Well, let's assume someone didn't know what "quincyatt" meant. When they visit the FB post, they see "d2att" at the very top. And then right below that is "d2mtr", then "d2spr", then "d2tmo", and so on for a total of 18 such mysterious names. The gapps and addons ZIPs are located after that, so I can safely assume that the person saw the list of 18 names. At some point, would it not have occurred to them to figure out what those are, rather than arbitrarily picking the first one on the list? Googling "d2att" produces the CM download page entitled "Browse Files for Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T) - d2att". Hmmmm, that might be a hint. What other names have "att" in them? Ah, the only other one is "quincyatt". Googling that confirms it is the moniker for the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note. Spending another 30 seconds clicking on links shows that these are the device names used by CM releases, and has been carried over to other ROMs.

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect that anyone with enough technical knowledge to root and ROM a phone will also be astute enough to figure out certain things for themselves without constant handholding from the admins or maintainers.

Maybe they flashed the quincytmo instead of the quincyatt. ;) Still no definitive evidence that the ROM itself, when properly applied, is bricking phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Yeah technically its the users fault (when is it ever not?)

I guess I've been lucky though,been flashing roms since windows mobile(5) phones,never once checked a md5 hash. I only check that my downloaded file is same exact size as listed on server downloading from. Never bricked a phone....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Case in point: my first download attempt resulted in a truncated file, even though Chrome did not report any errors (the server must have dropped the connection). I did not even need the MD5 checksum to realize 40MB is way too small to be a legitimate AOKP-based ROM. It would not unzip either, since the directory of the ZIP contents is at the end of the file. I downloaded it a second time, and this time the file size was reasonable, I was able to view the contents of the ZIP, and the MD5 matched. Flashed that file on three occasions without issue.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

That check fails if the file is pre-allocated at the download destination to reserve the disk space, and then "filled in" as the data streams in. It will appear to be the right size, but still be an incomplete file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Ok you guys win

It may be wrong roms or bad downloads,I was just being concerned,don't want anybody to brick their phone

Im staying on Rc7,after another fresh install I don't have the phone acore crashing every call

Life is good

Yall enjoy rc8
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SystemErrorOne:
Welp, as the above user stated you guys win. Overall you guys do have a Custom ROM I dont, and Im pretty sure you guys are more knowledgeable in this area than I am in another topic. Thank you guys for all the feed back, I will be visiting my near by AT&T store and bluffing some excuse to why my phone wont power on. Thank you guys again. Disregard all the FB crapload.

I don't have a dog in this fight but just as an FYI. QUINCYATT is for the note. One thing I would like to say is to do research before you download a rom.

Yes, clicking the link and going to facebook was new to all of us. But also it's better to asked a question beforehand instead of coming back bytching cause you jacked your phone up..

I just did the installed and waiting on my backups to finish. So I will post my two cents later. .

Hello,

I just wanted to let everyone know. I had issues with the launcher FCing when I tried to add widgets. What i did is, i grabbed the launcher from RC7 and replaced it on RC8 and so far everything appears to be working fine. I hope this helps. Also as far as people bricking their phones, there are many different roms on that page, make sure you're downloading the right one before flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DDRMSTRPRO:
Bricked.

To quote my post from another thread,

"Hey. Not sure if i'm supposed to be resurrecting this thread, but i'll take a whack at it.

My Note wont power on, but my computer will recognize that something is there. Kies does the same thing, even though it says it's an incompatable device.

I was trying to flash CM10 Liquidsmooth onto the device, after setting it to reboot, it won't power back on.

Windows will just give the constant sounds for plugging in a device and then unplugging it, and offering to reformat the drive before i can use it.

Does this phone need JTagging, or can a Jig fix it?

Thanks in advance."

Again, thanks in advance.

After having read some of the info posted from other users having boot issues, in case you may have flashed the wrong file (unless you used the quincyatt)...find out what the button combo to get into recovery is from from the other device whose file you may have inadvertently flashed listed on that download page and try that?

First time flashing this ROM and had no issues flashing using CWM ...even did it twice. ROM is fast and clean, and the only issue I've noticed is a weak wifi signal (flashed another ROM and back again to confirm it's not my Note). Looks like a great ROM so far! :)

Try using the S3 button combo (if you flashed that as the wrong ROM file, D2ATT, and therefore the wrong kernel) to get into download or recovery since the PC is obviously seeing something (worth a shot)...Volume down + Home + Power for download or Volume up + Home + Power for recovery..release power when it vibrates.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mauijpm:
I understand your frustration, but I don't think Taob's post was out of malice or an attempt at being irritating. It's a fine balance. There are quite a few people who on this thread have bricked their phones with this release. He wasn't trying to be a jerk or unhelpful, but more details need to be provided from the user to understand what truly bricked their phone. If we just accepted everything at face value, it would look like this ROM and developer are terrible and just distributing a bad ROM that is ruining phones, instead of people flashing the wrong or incomplete files.

In regards to your own situation, what file did you flash? Did you do a MD5 check before you flashed? What ROM did you come from? If you give us some more details about your situation, perhaps we can help you out. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erad1:
hey csrohena...did you try the S3 button combo to recovery or download yet ( thats if you think you might have flashed the D2Att file by mistake)? I mentioned it just a couple posts back...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
The LEDs themselves should have negligible impact on battery life, but if the kernel keeps waking up and cranking up the CPU just to blink the lights, that may have an adverse effect. And if your phone isn't blinking the notification LED most of the time, but battery life is still poor, then it sounds like a bug.

I have noticed battery life is considerably worse with this ROM compared to my previous one, which was CM 9.1.0-stable. It could be an ICS vs JB thing, or something more specific to the ROM... I can't tell at this point. I do have BLN enabled, but my phone is rarely in a state where it has to do any blinking. Idle/sleep battery drain seems about the same (1% every 30 minutes or so with the stock battery), but just yesterday I was browsing the web for about an hour while in bed, and the battery meter went from 100% down to 75%. No phone calls, no videos, no games... just checking Facebook, The Verge, XDA, etc. Display brightness was on "auto", and was down around 20% or so. This is on wi-fi, with mobile data disabled. I would have expected it to go down maybe 10-15% with CM9.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delock:
I noticed a huge battery drain on the last rc7 update and more on rc8. For example I'm down to 27% from 100% at 9am when I unplugged my phone. What can I do to save battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
It was a wakelock issue not the blinking lights themselves.

Turn off Bluetooth and GPS when not in use indoors. Turn off wifi outdoors when your not using it. Keep the screen brightness as low as possible. Set the governor to conservative or my favorite lulzactive.

So, I see in OP that RC 7 had supposedly fixed the LTE toggle modes, however I still can't force the phone to regular GSM. As soon as I select GSM/CDMA preferred, it goes right back to LTE. I've had this problem with every ICS and JB ROM I've tested. Are there any known fixes?

EDIT: Using the LTE power toggle just disables the radio entirely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Eesh... for some reason the phone just lost the ability to do any telephony. At some point this afternoon, it was as if the cellular radio just vanished. Going into "About phone", the baseband version was listed as "Unknown". Could not send or receive SMS, could not make phone calls, etc. Hunted around logcat for a bit to see if I could see anything unusual, but nothing jumped out at me. The most recent SMS was around 2:00 pm this afternoon, so this could have happened at any time after that. Rebooted the phone, and all was well. Didn't have to reflash the modem firmware or anything like that. It went away for no apparent reason, and came back just the same. Sheesh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
All valid suggestions, but compared to CM9 and doing the same sorts of things (browsing the web, or listening to podcasts over BT with the screen off, etc.) did not result in such drastic battery drain. I've attached a screenshot from yesterday. The battery started off at 100% around 8:30 am. I had plugged in briefly around 9:00 am, because it had already dropped about 10% in less than half an hour. By 2:15 pm, it was down to 9%. All I did was listen to about 45 minutes of podcasts over BT, sent four texts, took a 2-minute call, took a few photos, showed a few photos to some friends, and looked up some transit times. Very little GPS use. Total screen on time was only 1 hour and 27 minutes. All podcasts are played from SD card, so the phone does not even have to power up mobile data.

The steep part of the graph starts when I leave home, which is when the podcast listening starts. However, I stop about half way down that slope, yet the battery drain continues on its own. Even so, with the screen off, no data, no GPS, the drain should not be anywhere near that high. It should have been about as flat as the plateau at the beginning of the day.

Today, I'm out doing some groceries, once again listening to my podcasts. I wake up the phone to go look something up, and discover that everything is moving like molasses. I bring up Android System Info, and see that two threads in the same android.process.acore process are chewing up all available CPU. No idea what it is, but I'm wondering if that is causing the battery drain? It takes about 15 minutes to walk from my place to the point where I checked my phone. The battery dropped from 100% to 89% in that time. Something definitely ain't right here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I just flashed this ROM an hour ago, and this just happened to me. All I've done other than configure some settings (sounds, wallpaper, etc) was toggle the LTE, which completely disabled the radio. Rebooting without touching the toggle did nothing, but toggling it back on and then rebooting brought the radio back to life.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
I recall seeing something on the Facebook page about an update next week. They've already fixed the problem with widgets crashing the launcher. It looks like most of the publicized activity has been with getting the web-based bug tracker up and running. I've switched over to the 20121122 CM10 nightly in the meantime. To be honest, it's just as fast and smooth, and so far it seems to be able to maintain that speed without crashing or needing the occasional reboot like I was seeing with RC7 and RC8. I'll give it a full week before getting my hopes up, though. ;)
