[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Brick and hard brick are the same thing. Its the result of flashing a wrong rom. The device is a paperweight. JTAG devive is used to force the correct system into the mainboard.

Everything else is a bootloop or stuck on a screen. These are from bad flashing techniques or corrupted files. Rereading directions or redownloading files fixes these.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] genuis12:
hard bricked

Well...in saying that....can you fix a hard bricked device with Odin or flashing the upgrade ROM WITH samsung kies, usimg download mode

(Odin mode)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
A hard bricked device means that it will not power on or do anything at all. At this point JTAG is the only thing that will fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] genuis12:
bricked

ok, but the only thing that I understand is that, the only way that he "hard bricked" it is he put the totally wrong model ROM on the device?...or can you still hard brick them when putting custom ROMS ect. using the right ROM model?.....or do they just "herd brick" when you totally screw up and try to flash the wrong model of ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
yes flashing the wrong rom that has different partition tables will cause a hard brick. Also using ODIN, Heimdall, or Kies and having it fail when it is flashing bootloaders can cause it. It does not happen often but it can happen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] genuis12:
brick

crap, thats not good, should I be paranoid about flashing? Im glad to hear from ya, that it doesn't happen often.

Ive heared of J-tag but have never had to use it (hope I did't ji x myself by saying that..haa! but how does J-tag work and can they remotly J-tag your device...and can they J-tag a samsung galaxy Tab 10.1, I have one, but I havent "jacked" with it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
I am sure they have a way to JTAG the tab, but it is not something that you can do remotely. It is also something you will need to read up on. I don't think you should be worried as long as you have a good usb port on your computer and a good cord the risk isn't as high, but there is always a risk when flashing a phone. Hence the reason it voids your warranty when you root and add a custom rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
JTAG means someone dismantles your phone and solders connectors to the mainboard, then connects to a rom writing device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gossamer1:
i did the same thing to my Note. I wasn't paying enough attention to what I was downloading.

In any case, my Note history is as follows.

Picked up an international(N7000) with 2 batteries Pebble Blue for $250. Sold it 3 days later for $315.

On the 24th I picked up a I717 white for $205 with 2 ballistic cases. I'd be very happy if I hadn't bricked it.

Oh well, $62 for repair with shipping. Josh called, said the USB connector wasn't very good, had him fix it for another $30. Hopefully will have phone back by tomorrow(shipped Tuesday).

So what you pay for it will vary on region and current demand. I wanted the Note 2 but not at the prices people have been asking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] genuis12:
I717

Well, the first thing that I do, is download the stock recovery for the device that Im going to "jack with"..LOL, then I go to rooting it, then a nandroid backup is created, and allways have the handy dandy ODIN available.....Ive bricked both....my android samsung Infuse I997 and the note (also known as) I717.....In case of some brickery, Ive found samsung kies has made my note I717 bootable again...then flashed a great Blackstar X on it....this is the most SOLID custom ROM that I have found for the not I717.....I do say, If your going to get the samsung Note I717 in the futer, Ill be glad to help you get up and running, overclocked, backed up properly...and also the "Triangle away " program works great, and brings your Flash counter back to "0" to save warrenty.....felt kind of guilty, but hey, its our property right?.....lol

Anyway feel free to ask for some rooting help or questions if ya have any....ive been through the worst trial and errors...so Ill be glad to walk you though it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ash359:
I got mine on craigslist for 300 and thought I was lucky. I even stalked eBay for quite a while. Seldom saw them below 300.

Though a bricked phone is not something I would ever even consider buying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] genuis12:
I dont blame ya, If you did that, you might be runnung a risk of buying a "hardbricked phone", then you would have to pay more $ to get it "J-tagged.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niiiiick:
Hi everyone,

I upgraded from a Nexus S, on which it was common "knowledge" that using the capacitive buttons as notification LEDs, leaving them "on" used less power than having them blink, and either way using them saved a ton of power over waking the phone up constantly to check for missed notifications. I also wasn't worried about them overheating or anything because they're so low-power and on stock Android they're always on if the screen is on anyway.

Now that I'm messing with LightFlow, I'm fascinated by all the ways I can use colours and blink rates to know what's going on, but is there anything I need to be careful of? Does leaving the LED on use a significant amount of power, or is leaving it on a significantly lower power cost than switching your screen on for a second every 20 minutes to see if you missed anything? Do I need to worry about wearing it out if, say, I have a particular colour that's on 8 hours a day (i.e.: charging/fully charged)?

Lastly, and this one's just out of curiosity, do you have a particular logical colour scheme for your notifications? I'm trying to decide between colours based on urgency (i.e.: red = urgent, all the way down to blue = take your time) or trying to get the colour of the LED to match the colour of the app icon. Do you just assign random colours or is there method to your madness?

Thanks for anything you can help me with!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFiveDots:
Not really, I just settled on:

WHITE - SMS

ORANGE - Gmail

GREEN - Missed Call

RED - No Signal (my house is Faraday Cage)

And that's it. Don't really need LED notifications for other apps. Feel like it needs some blue in there though!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niiiiick:
for wistemon

Which one do you suggest? Also if a mod wants to move this, sorry, please do. I thought it was a pretty "Nexus 4 General" question.

How about low battery if you really want to get some blue in there? :P

White (flash) - Gmail (mail/letters come on white paper)

Purple (flash) - Facebook (kinda matches the icon color)

Blue (flash) - Google Voice (same as above)

Red (flash) - low battery (red = critical)

Yellow (flash) - Missed call

Orange (flash) - Calender

Pink (flash) - Song Pop (girly color for girly game)

Green (solid) - Fully charged

For the flash I used the custom timing of 1000ms on, 1000ms off.

Did you experience any battery issues due to lightflow?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyroshane:
I'm colorblind so I have to keep it simple.

Blue: SMS/MMS

Green: email

White: Facebook/G+

Red: Missed Call/Battery low

I have too much trouble distinguishing the other colors.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
I use color code and based on priority from highest to lowest

Yellow = missed call/VM

Orange =vox

Green = IM

Blue = sms

Red = Email

That's it I think. Others I don't care enough about to have a notification on.

Oh. and I haven't noticed a change in battery life with light flow. Although in the past with other devices there were issues that eventually get fixed.

As for the apps it depends what you wish to do.

For ROMs/Mods and Themes try:

Titanium Backup (to backup apps etc. as ROMs often require a wipe)

Rom Manager - although this is often seen as outdated, it still works great and is good to flash CWM as CF-Auto-Root doesn't automatically include it)

Mobile ODIN (a must so ou don't have to use ODIN from a computer again!!)

Triangle Away (this is a must if you ever have to go back to Stock/Unrooted/Send for Warranty Repair)

For Adfree-ness

Adfree

For cool features:

Sixaxis - wirelessly play games with a PS3 controler, such as Nova 3

But most benefit will come from flashing Mods/Themes/Roms

I'm banging my head against the wall on this one. I had a restore from a nandroid backup fail and now the tablet can't mount /data. I figured I would do a restore using nvflash but to no avail. I can put the tablet into APX mode and my computer recognizes it but as soon as I run nvflash the tablet disappears from the Windows device list and it doesn't work. Tried this on a couple of different computers and had the same results. I at a loss on what to try. I can still boot into CMW but flash anything because it can't mount the sdcard.

[HTC One X+] ROMfreak:
Has any one else found that the lights on the buttons only come on when it's really dark? When I'm in low light I can hardly see the buttons, I have to put my hand over the light sensor at the top to make them come on. It's as though the threshold to darkness needs to be lowered. Ideally the lights would be on all the time like my old Incredible S but I can't see that happening anytime soon.

I've spoken to HTC about this and of course their stock answer is that the lights work fine and it my be an issue with my phone but I have a couple of friends who own the original One X and they report the same issue. It's not a huge thing as I can usually hit the right button with out looking but it's pretty annoying - especially when showing it off to all my iPhone owning mates in a dimly lit pub...

Same here. Seems to need to be really dark before they come on. Anyone found any setting or app to sort this out?

Hy

It is normal .... And there are no setings for that.

The light goes on only if is realy dark or the Sun is shining on the Display.

And you can Prof if is something wrong with the lights by puting you Finger on the light Sensor ( other side from front cam )

If the light is Not going on then you have a problem.

Cheers :)
[HTC One X+] ROMfreak:
Thanks guys, so it seems that this problem is universal to the OX+ and not just my handset. Hopefully HTC will actually see that this is actually an issue and sort something out for the 4.2 build.
