Seriously, there's no need to wipe caches, when flashing kernels or roms!

Factory reset, or factory reset+format /system at best. Most roms will wipe /system on their own.

No issues,my device is working fine now..I'm on rufdroid v0.92.

But I still had to use a tool kit to install recovery..I tried doing it on command prompt and it was confusing ..next time I'll try doing it with out these tools ....anyways thanks everybody.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lesnbec3911:
I want a note. S3 is just a little bit to small for me. Is there any known issues that i should be aware of? How about capabilities, like same hardware? Software? Any heads up would be nice! Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
The Note 2 has better internals than the S3 - if you're interested in upgrading you would be better off with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BrokenPixel:
I've had Note 1, S3 then Note 2... the best is obviously the newest because has the latest everything hardware software and features. I haven't used the dual core S3's I bet they are slow regardless of whatever anyone may say about benchmarks and whatnot. If you don't mind slow then a Note 1 will suffice you, but I rather get the N7000 than the i717 I've had both and the n7000 hast better rom support and better battery life they both suffer from screen "banding" its a known issue and both suffer from high battery drain when wifi is on, the n7000 lacks LTE and is packed with a SAMSUNG Exynos CPU/Mali GPU while the i717 is a Snapdragon/Adreno, the adreno is less compatible than the MALI so expect better FPS on the n7000. They are all capable of running pretty much ANY app that is available at the moment but the Note2 seems/feels snappier than the others. Physicaly the note 1 is wider at 16:10 ratio and the note2 is narrower, personally i've found that 16:9 is much better for typing in portrait than the note1 I do less typos on the n7100 don't really count that as a plus or minus.

Hope that helps you a little.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lesnbec3911:
That reply helped me out alot. Alot to consider. I went from have the s1 i9000 for a year and loving that phone. Then went to the s3 pretty much when it.came out. Huge improvment. The duel core snap dragon cpu is quite impressive. This phone is super quick n i love it...just need something a lil bigger. Thanks a lot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I wouldn't say the Note is slow but the note 2 is faster. I believe jellybean improves the ui with project butter so if we get jellybean on i717, Superb!

-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

[Lady]: "How do you carry that huge phone in your pocket?"

[Note User]: "I'm used to having huge stuff in my pants" ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] melcali:
obviously the note 2 is faster. but the note 1 isnt slow. stock vs stock... my amaze 4g with the same s3 and 1gig of ram was faster.. samsung just did a horrible job with slimming down touchwiz... or maybe it could be all that carrier bloat because the stock n7005 rom is pretty smooth.

some people complain about hairline cracks on their note but i think that is only a problem with the white version. so you might want to look out for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brilliantdonkey:
The Note 2 is definitely the fastest out of all of them. It also has the advantage of packing a slightly bigger screen (5.5" vs 5.3") into pretty much the same size frame.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EBryanRjr:
I tried to find the answer to this but after Hours of looking I am still stuck

I am trying to root my Nook Color via the method shown by T-R-I-C-K here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358051

But I am stuck at the part where you press settings:

It should say "install blocked"

Press settings

Tick unknown sources (press ok)

Pick Development

Tick USB debugging (press ok)

Tick the other USB debugging further down

Untick Automount

Back/Back

I have gone into the Nook setting but there is no place to tick unknown sources. Also I have tried to hit the circle with the 3 lines in it on the notification bar but that does nothing. Am I missing something or is my nook just telling me not to root it. I'm lost.

I got this as a gift so I could give it as a working android tablet so I really need help with this.

Thanks all for your help!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That referenced post is for the Nook Tablet, a completely different device than the Nook Color. I don't think that method will work on the Nook Color. Are you trying to root stock? If you are, look in the development forum for Manual Nooter 5.08.20.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EBryanRjr:
Oh ok I thought it was for the Nook Color that explains it.

I just got it so yes I think. The bigest thing is I have a MAC so I'm trying to find something to do it with a Mac. I'm just trying to root it to run the complete android experience.

Thanks for the help.

good afternoon,

[HTC One X+] Kraizk:
So I previously started a thread showing my lock screen displaying an incorrect date (well really no date at all, see link http://imgur.com/7eNPJ )

After trying to many over complicated solutions it turns out the fix is quite simple. It seems for some reason an app (still not sure which one) changes the way your phone displays the Date to a non existent format, hence the gibberish on my lock screen). To fix this just go to your settings, date and time, choose date format and select which ever option fits your needs. Not the most technical solution but hopefully will help a few.

Bell E973

I have E973 from Bell and it's been bricked since sunday after renaming couple of system apps.

I am trying to follow the instruction above but i can't download KDZ file with LG firmware downloader bc it just would not take my SN.

Error msg is "unsuccessful in connecting to server orphone infomations is wrong!"

Could anyone upload KDZ file for Bell E973 somewhere on the net that i can download?

It would be much appreciated..
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
Go here, replacing <yourimei> with your actual imei (just numbers, nothing else), it'll spit out a bunch of text including an address with the kdz.

[LG Optimus G (International)] razrgalaxy:
Thanks thracky for quick response.

but it is just stck at blank window..

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

Tried it on Chrome but no address with KDZ.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
Don't include the <> characters with your imei, I just put those there to mark where the IMEI goes :P

Also, your IMEI should be 15 digits, and I've only used this on my computer, so I'm not sure if it works on mobile browser or not, and if that's how you're trying it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] potatohead:
2nd thracky's view.

would recommend u do it on the PC, use the app, enter your model E973, enter your imei (15 digits, usually means omitting the the last 0 or digit), shd be able to download your KDZ.

:)
[LG Optimus G (International)] potatohead:
did u wipe in recovery mode?

can you put your phone into download mode again?

if yes, try the whole process again?

as long as your phone can still enter download mode, all is not lost, even if this method does not work,

good luck!
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
He couldn't get into recovery at all, that image he posted was what happened going into recovery.

I think he mangled his partition table, and I feel like KDZ wouldn't necessarily repartition everything based on my experience with tools for other phones like Odin for Samsung phones, where you explicitly have to tell it to repartition and give it a file to dictate the layout.
[LG Optimus G (International)] potatohead:
learned something new, thanks :)

KDZ-ing of LG's phones of late seem to be not as 'thorough' as previous, it used to be the be all and end all; or maybe i didnt mangle my phone bad enough :p

has he tried upgrading via LG's update tool instead?

he may need to KDZ an older version first (if available) so LG tool can sense an upgrade is necessary, and hopefully, it is intelligent enough to repartition if one is necessary.

also, LG's update tool has in-built recovery/repair option, not sure how that works though, worth to explore?
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
Yep update tool was tried, recovery wouldn't work either. He wound up exchanging the phone anyways :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] ssfirme:

Question for Sprint

Question, on the Sprint version of this phone, would the type be CDMA?

Also, do you think anything else would be different?

*edit* Also, when I try to download the KDZ file, it is instead a .CAB file that has an .wdb, .wdh, and a .dll file inside.

Am I supposed to rename it? convert it?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus G (International)] trusteelfan:
I can not get it to download the KDZ file either. Is there anyway to post a link for a direct download?
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
This should not be used for the Sprint or AT&T variants, please see instructions for restoring with LGNPST in the respective forums as we have .tot files for both AT&T and Sprint.
[LG Optimus G (International)] trusteelfan:
Thank you. I have seen that but I do not know how to flash the TOT file. I have downloaded that, but do not know how to flash it.

First of all, thanks again to the poster and xda in general...y'all freakin rule.

I couldn't get this to work for the longest time, though I knew that these valuable instructions were the key to fixing my device.

The difference between total failure and absolute success for me was making sure to run "msxml.msi" in the KDZ updater before running "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe"

If you're stuck, try that!!!

Thanks once again for helping me fix my device!
[LG Optimus G (International)] adam4real:
So I fried to follow your precise description, here´s what happend...

The phone was already fully charged so I went easily to 5. and could connect in Download mode. The driver (6.) didn´t start, maybe because it was already?

When 9. I choose recovery option I filled out the IMEI, model and SN AND I pressed the CHECK-buttons but nothing really happened...

Just for fun I started the next step and then the phone is analyzed, but here it stops and misses the connection and suggest for me to remove the battery and retry...

Am I completely lost here? At least I can connect in Download mode, so it can´t be that bad, no??

Ya.... Can yu confirm that COM port can be seen in device manager....??..

[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
Ok.. It got detected.... Open support tool nd see whthr it shows phone connected or nt....??
[LG Optimus G (International)] adam4real:
This time as I opened the Support Tool, it started installing the driver, and showed that the phone was connected. As it opened a new window and began the analysis it unfortunately stopped and said there was a communication problem between the phone and the pc (running windows 8)

It tells me to unplug, remove the battery and try again...
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:

Now I used a different laptop, installed LG PC Suite, but when I choose recover in the program and fill in my IMEI and S/N the phone is not recogniced... so if I start up anyway it starts to analyze like before, but stops after 20% and says that theres a communication error between the phone and pc and I should take out the battery.

Furthermore the phone is not visible in the device manager/filesystem.

Could I earlier on have installed something wrong while running LGNPST? a wrong .dll or bin file perhaps?

I am still able to get into download mode... and eventually also into TWRP after using KDZ Downloader/update LG Support tool etc (there not a simple shortcut to get into TWRP? I think I tried all the button shortcuts I read about!)

For hard reset on stock rom you press vol up+vol down and power at the same time.

To enter download mode,press vol up+vol down amd in the same time plug the phone to pc.

Make sure you are using rear usb port,not front panel or usb hub,if you are on desktop.
