Just an afternoon out with wife for about 4 hours, from Queens to Manhattan. ..

I spotted at least 3 Galaxy note 2... That only lag the number of phone by 2 !

It is by the way. .. Very noticeable you can't ignore such a thing in front of you. .

Camera is again awesome in low light

The pictures the Note 2 takes in the "Low Light" settings is absolutely amazing! I can't wait to try the group face changing pictures.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
If you think those are nice pics you should see a pic that's not so grainy... No offense OP but those pics don't seem the best? I don't think I could do any better myself though but I have seen some beautiful pics come from these cameras but I think it just takes time to learn all the settings and get the feel of the Note 2. The first one is not too bad though... :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jiwengang:
Fair point. What is a good setting in low light on note 2 to have better pic? I am overwhelmed by different settings. ..

Hello

I'm trying to do something (seemingly) simple. I have flash 11 installed on my rooted Note II. I want to run flashex205.sh (which will hexedit the libflash.so file so I can get hulu). However, I can run it from my sd card because the executable bit can't be set. And for some reason I can't move the file to the root filesystem. I can't find a root capable hex editor either so that I can edit the file myself.

Whats the trick?

Thanks!

Wrong question. We don't partition the flash storage like we could do on Windows.

We flash H-BOOT's which in turn flashes the storage into a fixed set of partitions/volumes.

As for this ROM you posted, any hboot should be good.

At your current level of understanding I would suggest you to read and gather more knowledge before you dive deep into rooting and flashing.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizshaw:
I recently boot looped my phone and had to manually stick files on my root.. Eguch doesn't seem to be accessible with the various file programs. These are a few hundred megs since they are ROMs and I want them removed. How do I get rid of them if I can't find them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Chris
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I'm kind of confused on what you're asking for "root." Root as in the root directory? or root as in superuser?

If it's root directory, it's in /sdcard/ or /storage/emulated/0/

Use a updated recovery such as TWRP or CWR.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizshaw:
I'm asking for the root of the file system. There was another level added when 4.2.1 was implemented. And I had to add files via a dB.. Which copied them to the root below the new level. Which I can't seem to access using the file app programs. Yet I can see them in cwm when I use it. Not sure what to do. I need them gone... I only have an 8 gig... Need the space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizshaw:
Here is a picture of the files I'm talking about. I've tried finding them and I can't. I've searched the directories individually as well did searches with the finding tools. Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No idea. I use TWRP, I guess TWRP and CWR have it set differently?

Look around /sdcard/ and /storage/ ... on TWRP everything looks the same as it was before 4.2.X with everything being in /sdcard/

Try /storage/emulated/0/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodles2224:
its obvious and you could of done it yourself.. click on legacy. plus, you cant really access system in CW. only through ADB but doesnt seem like thats what youre asking..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
try checking in /data/media
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizshaw:
Im not even sure what your saying man.. Umm did what myself? And I cant see the folder legacy ether, or clockworkmod for that matter, In fact I cant see any of the those files. I read on google currents that they added an additional layer to the file structure, meaning all the old 4.1.2 software wasnt saving to next level but to the original root. And you had to move them or something.

Anyways, clarification would be great.

Thanks

Chris

Nope, not in there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Legacy is a folder. /storage/0/legacy

I don't understand what you did with your phone. Everything for me is in straight /sdcard/ I know they did something with the sd card because of multi user but it's not really that difficult.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizshaw:
Yeah I got that... I dont know man. I just dont have access to it. Its like its on a lower level not accessible anymore by anything but CWM.. and I cant get it to it. Ive used 3 different file programs to try and access it. Nothing.

If I had a way to move it then that would be good, but CWM doesnt have that option. IDK.

Edit: I have an Sdcard folder, but all my files are in there, but not these ones. Its strange.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Don't know. I switched from CWR to TWRP. I find TWRP to be way better. No file manager in CWR? TWRP has a File Manager where u can delete files in recovery.

When you downloaded those zip files where did you put them on your phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizshaw:
I pushed them directly to the phone through ADB. And I guess they saved to the lowest level.

Ill try out TWRP.

Thanks

Chris
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Oh no you never want to push those zip files through ADB -.- .. just drag and drop them via USB cable or use FTP.

I just hope they never become lost. Hopefully TWRP can fix this.

Maybe you could try doing adb commands to delete it? :o not sure. But try out TWRP. Was this the latest version of CWR too? 6.0.2.0
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
The "sdcard" is actually located at /data/media/0 everything else are symlinks.

I believe CWR places the backups in a folder in /data/media
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizshaw:
Yeah I actually had no choice, for I upgraded my kernel and it bootlooped, which means I only had access to the internal storage through ADB.. Also, I considered the delete option with ADB.. but there doesnt seem to be one. The pull command is a copy command and looking through the options, there doesnt seem to be much else there to really use.

Also I just tried the TWRP, I like it, although... I still cant see the files. I think... im gonna have to just back up all the important stuff and do a full format of the drive. That way, I start with a clean slate.. I think that is my only option to get the space back.

Anyways, thank you all for your help. Ill hit the thank you button if I can. (I had an earlier problem and I used it a bunch of times already)

Chris

I think i already looked, but ill look again. Thanks for the tip.

Chris
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Sorry that you had to go to that route :/ always make sure you have some line of stable kernel or even a ROM (roms include kernels) and to the very least you can always do a factory reset and boot in without having it boot loop.

Good luck.

Data on SD Card befor flashing JB 4.2.1

When you move to JB 4.2.1 the contents of your SD card is relocate to mnt/system/emulate. You can copy your files from there to storage/emulated/0, reboot, and your recovery, in my case CWM, will see the folders.

Hope that helps.

On another note the new file structure does duplicate things, and I am hoping that it will be OK to delete the contents of the mnt/system/emulate in order to free up space on the SD Card.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidquesada:
hey guys,

I sold my galaxy nexus today to my cousin, she picked up the phone, working perfectly and then came back with it half an hour later with the phone permanently in Odin Mode xD

I have experience with rooting, flashing and all of that and I can't seem to find a way of fixing the phone, basically what is going on is that every time the phone is turned on it goes straight to odin mode and from there is not able to boot or do anything, I took out the battery (believe me a lot of times) and still have the same issue, I tried booting into the bootloader but it gets stuck there and the computer does not recognize it either the toolkit or in the command prompt, I flashed via odin the following firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827685 with no luck, I was just able to boot into the phone in safe mode, but from there if I reboot I'll encounter the same problem.

for me it seems like the bootloader is damaged?

any suggestions or help will be appreciated.... thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Oh boy. After reading all that I just see a bunch of errors after another error.

1) Toolkit

2) Odin

First off,

1) Delete all drivers for the Galaxy Nexus

2) Pull battery out of Galaxy Nexus then put it back in

3) Hold Volume Down + Volume Up + Power

4) Plug phone USB in.. computer should make a "BEEP" noise. If not then on the phone reboot back into bootloader and next time around it should come back.

5) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514942 -- download these drivers and manually install the Galaxy Nexus drivers using those.

6) Set up ADB/Fastboot environment (I won't tell you how... just google it) dont use toolkits.... toolkits dont teach you how to get yourself out of these kind of situations. This is why I NEVER EVER EVER EVER endorse usage of toolkits.

7) use command prompt and prompt it towards your fastboot.exe (/sdk/platform-tools/)

8) type: fastboot devices

9) find phone? ok good

10) https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#takju (download the respective one. takju for GSM, etc etc -- download the right one, sprint, vzw etc)

11) fastboot flash those files.

12) fastboot oem lock

13) phone should boot

14) give it back to your cousin.

note: this leaves her available to get OTAs etc etc and you wont be responsible for anything root related. if she wishes to root / custom rom / etc (doubt it) then skip #10 and ahead. flash a custom recovery (just incase yours got screwed up) and flash a custom ROM as well as wiping factory, cache, dalvik, and boot into android.

cant boot into android but still want custom? skip #12 and above. fastboot flash those files, boot into android, drag new rom / kernel onto phone and then go back into recovery to flash it (or go into recovery and mount it to your pc and put the rom files etc onto the phone).

if this helps, hit the thank you. thanks. next time, please dont use toolkits and spend the couple of minutes reading this stuff on how it works rather than having it spoon fed to you aka toolkit! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidquesada:
thanks for your reply, just a quick question by installing the drivers you mean to do it while in the safe mode of the phone? I can't get the pc to recognize the phone while on bootloader.

when I get to the bootloader the phone is basically stuck. I can't select move or reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's not a good sign that you can't move using volume up/down keys in bootloader. You need the PC to detect your phone's ADB (ensure that USB debugging is enabled).

I never been to safe mode but try going into about phone -> and tapping "build #" 10 times (if you're on 4.2.X) to enable dev options and check usb debugging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidquesada:
so.... bad news :(

I was able to flash again Jelly bean via odin an I was able to boot into android in safe mode (the only way it does), then using the command prompt I send it to bootloader and it got stuck and windows does not recognize it :(

my question is how my cousin bricked the device in like 30 minutes... because when I gave it to her it was perfectly working....

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Vanquiz:
Took about 2 weeks I think, not bad compared to some case I bought from overseas takes almost a month to arrive.

I compared it to my Tmobile oem charger, the writing is different, I dont know how international version looks like, but if it's non oem, the quality is so damn close to the original.

Sorry havent got chance to use it, since I left it at office for emergency, but since the batt is so good I never ran out of juice at work, so different with my prevous s3.

This is a 2A and it definitely charges faster than when I use my old OGN 1A charger. I now have 2 x 2A chargers that I keep in my offices for when I need a quick bump in battery level and the old 1A stays by my bed for the overnight charge.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I bought these off EBAY.

All of my old 1A chargers would not work.

These charge as fast as the charger that came with the note :
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IronSingh:
there is a much easier solution, buy the tablet charger they are rated at 2.1A

you can get either the Apple one or the Samsung one and get the micro usb cable so it fits the note.

I like to keep 2 charges one for work and the other at home, carrying it you are bound to forget it, but even if you do the battery on the note 2 is beast.

Peace

IronSingh
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Is it possible the voltage is more important than the amperage? Because these charge fine.

Or should I be concerned?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ImYourMacDaddy:
That's a solution, but you'll need to explain how it's easier than buying a $12 2A OEM charger which comes with the cable.

In this case the amperage is what makes the difference. The GN2 will take advantage of the extra amps where the GN1 would only take advantage of up to 1A (maybe a little more). If they work fine for you, there is no reason to be concerned. Maybe a bit slower charge but it's not a problem.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:

Is there any app to verify if this charger even charges at 2.1a?

Im not sure about the app, if anyone can point me how I can do comparation between the oem vs ebay version.

But I think I don't see any difference in charging speed, I think they both pretty much the same, but I need to do some more testing for more exact results.

It turns out, the microUSB cable they included seems defective. I used the stock cable on oem charger and it's charging AC.

Could I use any microUSB cable to charge at 2.1a? Or is there a cable specifically designed for 2.1a?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jacktrck:
I recently ordered one from an ebay seller based in China that said it was oem. The first thing I noticed after getting it was the usb connection that goes into the phone did not have the little "lip": that the original has. I also noticed the writing on the back of the wall charger was slightly different. When I tried to use it my phone got very hot quickly and then my phone showed a msg saying it was getting too hot and was going to shut down. Will not be using that again.

They are a great company, and I recommend them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RDI:
There are 2 standards for charging. The one iPads & iPhones use and Samsung. Samsung chargers have the data pins shorted with a resistor. This is what makes our devices say "Charging AC", not how much amp.. The factory charger is 2A. If you connected our Note II to a iPad charger or a PC's USB port it would say "Charging USB" and never switch to fast charging. To fast charge a Note II you need both the ampage (2A min.) and the shorted data pins. Most Chinese factories make only the iPad standard.

That being said, I was consulted by a factory we deal with. The end result is a 2.1A Dual USB port AC charger. One port is set to charge iPads & iPhone. The second port is designed to charge Samsung Tablets & Smartphones. I did just receive some bulk pak samples for my Dealers. This way, with 1 sku, they have a charger that will charge anything.
