Did you upgrade using this guide?

I'm suspicious cause I never remember No7100 used to have 4.1.1.

Are you rocking a genuine Samsung phone?

Lots of copies/fake one out there.

Can you boot to recovery or ODIN mode. Let me know.
[Galaxy Note II General] Cod3L1ne:
Stock rom

I always just use the 1click method to revert to stock rom works everytime.
[Galaxy Note II General] Philly3:
organic amp

yes, I upgraded using this method. Phone is really original. I can boot to recovery mode or ODIN. How to reset the GSM connection?

Before version 4.2.1 was probably ... I have two GT-N7100, both upgraded, but one of them does not work ... The next upgraded using OTA. This works fine.
[Galaxy Note II General] mariosraptor:
Try a hard reset after updating it again. Boot in recovery and hard reset from there.

hi, am using ditto note 3 rom 3.1.1 android 4.3. wil this method be useful to revert back to stock rom?
[Galaxy Note II General] mariosraptor:
It should work with every Samsung phone that are supported by Kies.

It won't make the counters go to zero though if they have started counting. Cheers

I was able to downgrade to 4.1.2 (stock) with this method, after installing ditto... but I tried to flash (thru odin) my original stock rom before, got a error message, connected with kies and did the described steps

[Galaxy Note II General] oldprogrammer:
Could Kies be used to "revert" with fake S/N

Hi,

It seems Kies can define the original firmware based on model and serial number.

This means this method could be used to install a firmware from one country in a device of a different country (if kies does not check the real serial when the device is connected).

In other words:

1. Suppose you have a device ABCD with s/n 123456 from country ZZZ

2. You want to upgrade using a firmware from country YYY

3. You get a s/n 98765 from a device ABCD purchased in country YYY

4. You type data ABCD and 98765 in Kies and connect your device (s/n 123456) to get firmware from country YYY

If Kies does not detect s/n mismatch (the s/n typed is not equal to the s/n of the connected device), this method could work.

Anybody have tried this trick ? Any ideas ?

Good luck !!
[Galaxy Note II General] mariosraptor:
Good catch. I personally haven't tried it, but I'll do as soon as I find a device to do so.:good:

[Galaxy Note II General] JaYWaLkEr16:
Hello,

Just want to let you know that this worked for me when I unrooted my N7105 before. I used triangle away and followed this step.

Now, I rooted it and would like to unroot it again. I can see that the KNOX WARRANTY somehow has already been void.

Can I still use the same procedure 1. Reset Flash Counter via Triangle Away and 2. Follow this "KIES" procedure? Or will it be different because of the KNOX WARRANTY scenario? Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

****download kies for your device you need samsung drivers for pc to connect in download mode

Or you download samsung drivers according to your device baseband.

Baseband can be found in settings-about--

And very important if you are on jellybean android4.2.2 then unlock developers mode by clicking 7times in setting-more-about device-build no (beat it7)

First back up the efs folder where ever it is located in system root you will need it afterward to recover if modem is lost.

If you have cwm recovery installed better back whole rom.

2-search your stock firmware according to your baseband version and coutry region from samsung-update.org

It will be few mb file in zip format ie. Stock_rec.zip

3-use triangle away before you revert to stock firmware.

4-open odin

5-every file must be present on desktop

6-extract the stock firmware what you downloaded from samsung-update.org site on desktop

7-it will be something like stock_rec.tar.md5

8-select pda mode check the box click on pda in odin

9-browse the stock_rec.tar.md5 and give it in pda

10-dont forget to check ticks on autoreboot and f.reset

12-switch off phone

13-vol dwn+power+home or whatever is ur comb for download mode.

14-you are on download mode

15-press vol up and hit on start in odin

16-when odin shows pass message

17-unplug.

18-reboot or start.

19-check....settings-device-status-??? Custom is for custom rom what dont allow ota updates.

20-check you can download from google play

21'check you can update your chrome or hangout or roadmaps

22-if you can than ota is enabled you successfully revert back to original stock rom.

23-welcome to stock market.

24-if imei number in device is missing restore efs backup..it will be back in status after restore and a reboot.

25-stock recovery will not loose the root more you will do over the air update system root will malfunction.

26-cwm or any recovery present will be replaced by default stock recovery.

Hi My DNA has stuck and screen is "OFF" responding, this happened while i was trying to flash recovery.

Device was working perfectly and i probably did something wrong.

I tried all tricks & tips i am familiar with, no luck , the device does not get into "bootloader" or any other mode.

The device is charged so its not a battery issue.

when i connect it to the PC via the USB i hear 2 beeps instead of 1 beep as i used too.

Also when i tried all kinds of games with the power button + volume down at the same time, this does not help at all.

When i connect the device to the PC and open terminal , i use adb device , i get nothing nothing.

Need a smart advice from someone who can help.

[Asus Transformer TF700] raisedblunt:
I just got my tf700t yesterday, and I want to put cwm on it. Do i need to unlock the bootloader in order to install this or is there a new way of doing this? Also is their a way to install root without having to unlock the bootloader? Im sure this has been asked before but when i search for it all i get is ways to unlock the bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You need to unlock in order to flash CWM or TWRP (custom recovery), custom rom/kernel. Root can be install without unlock, but you have to downgrade back to ICS version .30, rooted, preserved root with OTA rootkeeper app, then do incremental upgrade, then restore root. If you unlock the bootloader, you can flash custom recovery and use this to install a pre-rooted rom, so no need to root manually.
[Asus Transformer TF700] raisedblunt:
thanks

Thanks for your answer. im on the latest update so do i have to downgrade in order to unlock and install CWM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
To unlock, you don't need to downgrade. The Asus unlock tool will work with ICS or JB, it labeled as for ICS only, but not to worry, will work with both.
[Asus Transformer TF700] raisedblunt:
thanks again

Now for the big question. is it worth unlocking? I know it voids my warrenty, and i do have some light bleed (but i think all tablets have that so not really a big deal, not worth returning) But there are so many advantages to doing so. Like making a backup of the system.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
And the big answer is YES.

Good morning everyone.

Many people tell me that the 3G radio sensibility depends from modem firmware section.

I am convinced that it is a legend.

I do not think that the firmware can change the values ​​of amplification of the receiver.

In my opinion, the modem is only concerned with managing software protocol and nothing can be done to increase the sensitivity.

Does Anybody Really Know What the modem on android does?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soenderg:
Hi xda-hackers!

<skipable preamble to question>

My 12yo son flashed an uncompatible image onto his SG-SII GT-i9100, which quite effectively turned it into a brick. It responds to none of the startup keycombos.

It is utterly unimpressed with the 301Kohm USB jig, that I learned about in another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746879 - Thanks a lot for the great information!).

It doesn't even show that a charger is connected (however I can measure a charging voltage, and the battery does get charged).

From what I've gathered, jtag-flashing is my only option. A riff box is a really nice and userfriendly device, that could help me just fine, but it's about 200 bucks, and I'm (hopefully) going to use it only once.

But I DO have a ($30) Bus Pirate (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate) lying around in my lab and some nice electronic tools (stereo microscope, cool soldering stations, etc.), so I am game to do some serious hacking and upon success, even documenting/sharing my adventure here.

I am a seasoned software developer and I do smaller electronics projects as a hobby.

</skipable preamble to question>

<question>

My question is:

- Since I am not a ninja in this area, I would like some pointers to where I can find a binary worthy of jtag flashing onto the device (I am guessing that I can use the stock kernel (fx. using the tool suggested here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110160)

- I know quite little of jtag. Is there anywhere I can read about the binary padding/enveloping of the binary image I need to flash? Just a pointer would be really nice.

- Have anyone else done something similar? How did you go about it? Where can I learn how you did?

</question>

Thanks a lot for a great forum!

I humbly and respectfully try to maintaing the high level of useful information, and I better stop now before I disrespect the "keep it short" rule even more! :)

Cheers,

Look here, Google search, these guys & ask local mobile repair shops (you might find someone who does JTAG's close to you).

Unless you know what you're doing, forking out for the equipment to do it yourself will more than likely end with you being the owner of a 116 gram plastic paperweight (the phone) and a several hundred dollar box you'll never use again (the RIFF box). Do the smart thing & pay someone else a fraction of the cost to do it for you with their gear.
