[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
thanks guys, I've ordered a repair service with Josh Groce at MTV as mentioned in posts above, paid $50 through Google Wallet (you can also pay through Paypal but they are evil), now I just need to find a postal office near me.

Just to make it clear, I never said I was going to return it to Samsung for warranty repair. I didn't know Sammy offered a 2-year warranty on their consumer mobile products, you learn new things everyday especially on XDA!!! (sarcasm)

It shows there are two kinds of people here: one group wants to really help people in need to the greatest extent including legal and possibly illegal means, the other group just wants to sit on their asses and go "I told you so, you should be more careful and do research first"

I did my basic research, including asking newb questions on xda. Based on what you guys said, I bought an i717 instead of the t-mobile version. Because I was carrying out a research, I had dozens of tabs on open on Firefox, and that's a contributing factor as to why I mistakenly flashed an international kernel on my at&t note.

Before you jump in, fingers waggin, saying useless things like "do search," please realize that an older device like the original note can have a long and sordid history of development. I was overwhelmed by the variety of "guides" and "howtos" and questions and answers when I first started reading about the Samsung Galaxy Note. Please be kind to semi-newbs like me, we are the silent majority here. (ranting)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
One more rant before I go back to sleep (it's 6:25am here in rainy Southern California),

kernel developers should NOT be allowed to name their kernels "UNIVERSAL" I was suckered in to flash a "UNIVERSAL" kernel on my ATT Note I717. That UNIVERSAL kernel was only for International Note N7000.

I know, I should've known better. Well, a lesson learned, and as someone said above, it only cost $50.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
If you are referring to me in your rant, I never even referred to you in my post. I pointed out that the posted suggestion above to return to Samsung for warranty was not only fraud .. But also against xda rules to be talking about. As for the post I agreed with ... If you've been reading around here lately you know there has been a rash of "help I've bricked my phone"threads lately. Some were due to a bad link to a rom outside xda. For some reason ... a lot of users here think that Samsung should replace under warranty for their mistakes. It's not the case. Simple fact is ... once you root the phone you have no warranty. That said, I believe that there is a grey area ... a know hardware failure ..I think it is fine to revert to stock to warranty.

I'm glad you've worked you issue out and wish you luck in the future. But instead of going on a rant to people who you may need help from in the future ... ... Just saying .. don't burn any bridges.

Have a good weekend

Edit:

In rereading ... I really don't think anyone was that harsh. Some of these have gotten quite ugly. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
Allright, got some needed sleep, got up and went to the post office to mail off my bricked Note to Josh@MTV in Texas. Priority mail to Texas from Southern Cal cost about $6 plus insurance cost $4, so all told about U$10 to mail my Note (sans batt, back cover, stylus, sim card and sdcard). According to the MobileTechVideo site, it will take about 4 business for Josh to repair it. So I'm looking at about 2 weeks before I can get mine back. Kinda wishing that I had sprung for express service for another $15-20.

I'm now regretting the rants I spewed out earlier. However, I believe I made a couple of valid observations. I am grateful to those who pointed out the jtag repair, specifically sending it for repair to mobiletechvideo. I know I can attempt the repair myself but for $50 it's well worth it for me to let a seasoned pro handle it.

One of my pet peeves is the "I am holier than you" attitude, you know the kind who goes around saying "I told you to research, make a backup nandroid, do md5 hash check on ALL your downloads, etc..." You know what, things have happened and now you're holding a brick in your hand due to whatever you did. No sense in kicking a man when he's down. How can you call it a help? And to those of you who clicked on the Thanks button to these kind of people, you know who you are, Fie on You!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
To Bubbajoe,

Cool, I didn't mean to refer you or anyone else in my regrettable rants in my previous posts. I thought I needed to clarify that I never thought sending my bricked note to Samsung for warranty repair was an option. Thanks for pointing out that it would've constituted a fraud, had I done it. Having said that, now that the cat is out of the bag, I now know I have an option. I am sure other people who read this thread have now seen the option of sending it back to Samsung for repair under warranty. I don't want to judge people, what they do with their stuff is their private matter, I can only hope that you would do the right thing. I believe in karma, what goes around, comes around. If you gloat over other people's misfortune, your turn will come.

It seemed harsh to me. I was down and instead of helping me get up, some people were taunting and kicking me: "I told you so," "you didn't take my advice," "why didn't you read", etc, etc, etc... Do you call these advice "help" that deserved to be thanked???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CB620:
From just reading the title your gonna need jtag. Its like $50-$60
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
Sir if your rant was directed at me I never said you were implying you were going to send it to samsung. I was only pointing out that that advice that someone else mentioned was not a good idea.

I am glad that you got in touch with mobiletechvideos to get it repaired. He has helped many people out with hard bricks around here. As for doing the repair yourself you need a riff box to do jtag and the cost of that is a lot more than what you ended up paying for Josh to do the service.

Hope to see you back up in running around here soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shirokishi:
That statement bothers me considering they posted an article regarding rooting in July.

http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/your-warranty-is-not-void-xda-tv/

You saying they should make a retraction?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
He flashed a kernel for a completely different phone. You don't need root privileges to do that. So, no, this doesn't contradict the xda position.

Buy a new gasoline fueled car, then go and put diesel fuel in it and destroy the engine. No dealer will cover that error under a warranty. You pay for your mistake and learn to double check next time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
Why is this thread still running? The op has his issue handled. Now it's just turning into a debate thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
That's debatable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
We've never had a debate thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Yeh....

We certainly don't need another heated thread.

Losing a great developer this week should be enough anger to tide us over don't you think ?

OP ....we have great people here, always doing their best to give back.

And once again, they "ALL" did ....IMHO ....

Bricking sucks, but thank goodness we have an out, unlike the old days where a guy just throws the phone in the trash and starts over.

Those guys down south do a fantastic job keeping us fixed up and going again.

It'll come back running like new...

Happy flashing ....g

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
While I highly respect Adam's opinion .. If you look at the attached post, you can see the statement copied directly from the Samsung website. Adam may be right ... Maybe not... But since it's Samsung we would be dealing with .. I would say the statement I made holds true. I'm not willing to fight my way to the supreme court to find out. If you are .. Let me know how it turns out. Also if you can gain root privileges without modifying or altering the electric circuitry .. Let me know that as well. Here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36727175

As far as xda .. If the official opinion is that rooting doesn't void the warranty .. I have to wonder ... If we do have a rooted user .. Say with a hardware issue that wants to claim warranty .. why are we not seeing everyone post that it's no problem .. Just send it back rooted. We see responses on how to unroot to claim warranty. Why bother? Why aren't the mods closing these threads stating that the unrooting is not needed? Additionally if I'm denied warranty, I'd venture to say that xda would not replace my phone or help me hire an attorney to fright Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
Mods, please lock this thread, close it, or do whatever you have to do to stop people from posting to it anymore. It has degenerated into something that's so far removed from the original intent of the OP, namely me. The issue has been handled. No more replies should be accepted. Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Firestorm7:
After installing foxhound on my phone it asked me if i wanted to disable the phones ability to reboot with stock firmware or something like that, i chose yes because i wanted foxhound to boot and not the stock so i selected yes, It then completely shut down and didnt reboot, it will not start at all not even into download mode, will not appear on my computer which fails to install the phone hardware, and Odin cant detect it, the only thing that happens when i plug it in is the red led light turns on and shuts off after a little while.

I even ordered a usb jig, but when i plug it into the phone it dosent do anything.

Is there any way to fix my phone? or will i have to travel to the city to get a replacement?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbradbury:
You installed a rom meant for the international s3 this broke your phone. The only repair now is Jtag.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Firestorm7:
Jtag? whats that, where can i get it, and how do i use it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
Yep it's broken foxhound is for international phones
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Contact www.mobiletechvideos.com and pay them to fix it for you. Rather than you trying to do it

[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
Here is news that no mobile phone owner will want to hear.

From tomorrow (Jan 26) unlocking your phone will become illegal , in USA ofc..where else...LOL , thanks to the Library of Congress's DMCA and could actually result in jail time!

In fact, this shiny new restriction extends to tablets as well where they can use SIM cards. There has been next to no press coverage that this was coming either, which is strange for something big like this, because digital liberty groups like the EFF normally shout loud about it in order to help promote a pushback. It seems like their efforts didn't pay off in this case, however.

The law was no doubt changed at the behest of the large mobile carriers in order to squeeze every last penny out of their subscribers, while restricting the value those subscribers get from their services, since they're stuck with the service provider that they bought their phone from

edit : i am rly sorry for people who leave in USA . your government is so wrong...so,so evil...
[LG Optimus 2x] neoseekar:
How true is this?
[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
well.. believe it or not... in USA is everything possible but only a normal thing is impossible... unfortunately

here is link...

http://www.legitreviews.com/news/15028/
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Honestly, how the hell would they be able to detect it even if it was illegal?

Are they going to start checking the credit card info of every customer who paid $8 to cellunlocker.net? Are they going to track down everyone who reads a page on how to do a software based unlock for the few phones that support it?

Last time I checked the carriers aren't able to remotely detect if you've SIM unlocked your phone. And even if they could, what's the big deal? People still have to use the carrier service and pay the monthly fee. If they want to switch providers and are on a contract, SIM unlocking won't magically erase the contract - you still have to pay the exorbitant cancellation fee regardless.

The only "loss" to the carriers would be the roaming fees for traveling abroad since unlocked phones can just use local SIMs, but given that a huge cut of the roaming fee goes to the foreign carrier, I doubt that's much of a loss either. Plus, most of the people I know who roam while traveling abroad would still take careful measures to avoid calling and texting, and try to connect to Wifi where possible to use alternatives like Skype and Whatsapp. For example, I cross the US border at least a few times a year, and since it's just a day trip I just roam on my phone even though it's unlocked. I simply connect to the public wifi at the shopping mall, and ignore any incoming calls or SMS - usually people I'm close to would be aware I'm out of the country anyways. Thus, zero roaming charge.

There's honestly no net benefit to the carrier to lock the phones they subsidize. Except for maybe the roaming part, I fail to see what financial losses a carrier would face from people unlocking their subsidized phones.

Whoever proposed this law must be a luddite or just some moron with abysmal knowledge of technology. Fact is, passing the law will do jack s**t. They might as well make it illegal to uninstall bloatware from a laptop you buy off the shelf. That's how superfluous it is.

The only "solution" I could see to the "problem" of unlocked phones, is for carriers to go all-out to disable the hidden menu in smartphones that allows you to enter an unlock code once you insert a non-accepted SIM. But then I'm sure hackers would find a way around that. And I'll bet that if the carriers decide to aggressively look for people to unlock their subsidized phones, the cost of employing the resources to do so would far outweigh any potential extra revenue.

I saw on another site that this "law" might be meant to hurt the sale of used phones - but in America, that's irrelevant. There are only two GSM carriers and they use different 3G frequencies, so most AT&T phones will only work in 2G mode on TMo, and vice versa, unless they're quad or pentaband. Thus most Americans really have only one choice of carrier if they choose to buy a used GSM phone, even unlocked.

The American government is full of luddites and computer idiots (remember who proposed SOPA?). But then again, so are most governments. Nothing to fear though as long as the people aren't half as dumb and provide sufficient opposition.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Hmm... I guess the only logic behind this would be those people that buy a phone with a contract and just ditch the country altogether... Can you imagine "giving" an S3 for 100 usd with a contract... to someone that just unlocks the phone and goes away? Must be painful...

Anyways, it's been a long way since I bought a phone with a contract.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
But if those people perform the unlocking in the new country they live in, they haven't broken any laws and can't be prosecuted :) Also anyone who has any long-term plans to return to america after moving out would be foolish to do something like this, since the unpaid bill could be considered a crime!

I think maybe the carriers want to charge a high price to do the unlocking for you, in order to kill "competition" from small businesses like cellunlocker.net.

Hello everyone,

the moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads

whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.

We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general.

After all the name of the site is xda-developers.

If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.

As such, this thread is now closed.

Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums and to enhance the user experience.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] add12364:
Hey guys,

I was wondering how I could upgrade my Nexus 10 when I already rooted it.

2nd question is, if I used more than half the storage of my nexus 10, how will the full NANDROID backup be stored on the device???

Thanks!

add12364
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
The space used is probably most filled with apps and app data, or movies, music, etc. Nandroid backups dont save that, they only save the system, system data, bootloader, and a couple other things if you choose to. All that data should only take up maybe around 1GB or so, possibly less.

TO upgrade you just install a new version of a ROM that is built from newer source files.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] add12364:
I'm on stock rooted. when Google releases an update, how will I update???

Also, I thought nandroid includes /data,/system, /cache. correct?

If that is incorrect, how will I backup user app data?

I used to be in the nook color community, so I am not used to devices without a SD slot.

Thanks!

add12364
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Yes you are correct. But the Nandroid still wont end up being 8GB.

You can individually back up app data for things you want to keep with Titanium Backup

What would people recommend for a live wallpaper weather lock screen. I want it

Only on the lock screen not on my home Page..

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You can just set lockscreen wallpaper only when you long press on home and use the stock windy weather lwp or whatever weather lwp you'd like. I prefer to use widgetlocker for my lockscreen with the built in lockscreen disabled just for all the customizations available using widgetlocker.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
It seems like some things automatically to both. I keep thinking I an going to get widget Locker but hate wasting money. I buy so many things just to find out they are not good enough. I like it when they have a trial Version to use first just for.. that reason.

Hmm I have no live wallpapers on my phone for lock screen. .windy only shows up under home screen not lock screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Widgetlocker is definitely worth the $3 it makes the lockscreen really yours. Tons of themes, use your own widgets, customization you wont ever find on any stock lockscreen

And what you'll need to do for lwp on stock lockscreen is set a lwp for both home and lockscreen then go back and change just the wallpaper for the homescreen

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
I could have sworn I tried that. But I will try again . I had looked into it before but something I wanted to do could not be done so I didn't do it. .Course now I have no idea what that was. I think it was putting email widget on the lockscreen bur the author said default email app was not supported. .?

Yup when I pick the home screen from my gallery it automatically makes my la lock screen the Same

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Strange. I tested mine last night I had to set both home and lock screen as a lwp and then go back and choose homescreen only and set a different wallpaper and my lwp stayed on my lockscreen. And I used the default lockscreen after disabling widgetlocker its even easier with widgetlocker just choose your lwp from settings > alternate wallpaper

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
The weirdest part is when I change the home screen back And it changes the lock screen it puts the lock Screen back to what I had it set at previously NOT to what a just changed the home screen to

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Now that is weird, it should either change both to the same thing or leave the lockscreen alone altogether. :confused: not sure what could cause that to happen

Yeah madre no sense to me either. . Going to flash a new rom see if it makes a difference. .Thanks fir your input
