[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
Recently, I made a dumb and tragic mistake of flashing a kernel from N7000, which is the International version of Samsung Galaxy Note 1, on my I717, which is the AT&T version. I had to send it in to Josh at MobileTechVideo in Texas for jtag repair. I am hoping to get mine back from him by end of next week (Feb 8th) at the latest.

Anyhow, I am currently planning what I should do once I get my Note back.

From what I understand, when Josh sends it back, it will be able to get into the download mode. I am not sure if I will be able to get into cwm recovery anymore???

Should I use odin to flash just the ATT stock kernel and reboot the Note? Or, should I flash the whole ATT stock rom?

Maybe Josh will include a nice instruction on what needs to be done???

Has anyone else have an experience with Josh/MobileTechVideo?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
From what I've heard, it should come back to you with the stock rom already loaded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
It will be at&t stock ICS 4.04 with the stock 3e recovery. There won't be any instructions, only your invoice.

It would be as if you received a refurbished phone from at&t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
Thank you gentlemen!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
If you're unsure of something, even after reading the OP, open a thread. I know some things aren't documented as well as they could be. And stay away from any universal stuff. :rolleyes:

One guy borked his phone and JTAG 'd it three times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
I wish they made a better use of stickies here to warn users of the potential dangers, espeically if you are new to Samsung devices. The Note is my 2nd Samsung device (after the Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket) and this is the first time I have ever bricked a phone.

I will stay away from the so called "Universal" kernels and stuff from now on.

It will be painful to have to send your phone away for repair three times; once is enough for me.

Thanks a million!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
Just to give an update...

Josh at MobileTechVideo received my bricked Note on Monday, 1/28/2013, repaired it and sent it back on Wednesday 1/30/2013. He shipped it via USPS First Class. According to the usps.com, ETA is Saturday 2/2/2013. Since I will be out of town over the weekend, I will have my Note on Monday 2/4/2013. That's a fast turn-around, I was expecting a 10-business day before I can get my hands on it.

If you guys want, I will keep posting updates when I receive it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
So here is my final update the whole saga of my bricked i717:

USPS surprised me by delivering my note yesterday morning--their original eta was 2/2/2013, which would be today.

I was going to post a new update as soon as I got it back; however, once I had it in my hand, I got carried away, having fun with my resurrected note.

Thanks and kudos to Josh @mobiletechvideos for repairing it.

My phone is a samsung galaxy S3 clone, GT-9300 running ICS 4.0.4

No idea which manufactor it is, I got it from a marked in Thailand, and the phone is marked with Samsung and look exactly like the original. A bit different layout behind the battery cover though.

I did follow the guide from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1610121&nocache=1

I also did use the auosign program to sign the update.zip file and got a new update_signed.zip file

But when I try to apply the update_signed.zip file from recovery mode I get this message:

-- Install /sdcard ...

E:signature verification failed

Signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Any idea why this happens?

I have attached mu update file here if anyone cares to take a look at it.

[General Questions and Answers] amyren:
solved..

I found the solution by flashing the modified recovery that was mentioned in this thread.

Also I found that my phone is identical to the one pictured in that thread by OP.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1921178

I ended up flashing the whole rom, recovery and applied the camera 1013 archive as well, and now my phone is almost ok.

My problem was that I lost my camera after a dubious update. Now the main camera is working, and the gps that never worked before is also working (although weak signal), only problem now is the front camera is not working.

Does anyone know if the Sony Smart Headset (link below) is compatible with the Xperia tablet S? I know the Smart wireless headset is but I didn't want to use a wireless headset so I can conserve the battery. Does the tablet support in-line microphones in its 3.5 mm jack, for that matter?

Finally got my tablet back from Asus which came with JB. Is there a way to make it unbrickable like you could with ICS? I want to install custom rom again to get rid of the massive amounts of bloatware. Suggestions?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Yurij:
Nvflash is not possible on jb right now.

If you don't want to unlock and flash a custom rom you could disable the bloatware apps to get rid of them.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightitwithfire:
There are apps out on the play store to remove bloatware. (Root Required) Give NoBloat or Root App Deleter a try :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigworm82:
I unlocked it once before.. installed cleanrom. Wanted to install updated cleanrom. When i went to factory reset it or whatever and did the press up to continue. Thats when it bricked the first time. Was it from me doing something wrong there that caused it to brick?? I guess if i know that there is something I need to do that i didn't do than I will make sure to do it right. I didn't think doing a factory reset just to install a different rom was going to brick the unit :(. So now $150 later and back with locked tablet really just don't want the bloatware which is why i liked cleanrom.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gomezdf:
dont mess around with it

My advice is not to try anything risky on it.

This device is such a bad one that it bricks by itself (happened to me)

and it is impossible to unbrick,

so my advice is not to mess around with it if you dont want to pay again.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Don't use WIPE DATA on the bootloader menu; I think that is what you described. It is a perfect brick maker!

The new Hydro 5 has most bloat removed. It is smooth and easy; not fast. I don't do games so I can't speak to that.

Take your time, there's no hurry. To remove bloat you will need to root or flash a custom rom, on JB that means unlock!

Once you have some ideas from this post read the related threads and make your decisions. Till then that bloat will wait!

Good Luck!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigworm82:
wipe data was what I did before. How do I have all the data go away if i want to reinstall a different rom? I'm familiar with rooting and what not. As I said I had unlocked the tablet before. I didn't know wiping data would make it brick though :(. I also had an Epic 4g that I had rooted and customed etc..
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Use Wipe/Factory Reset in Twrp; not WIPE DATA in the bootloader menu.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
Hey Tobdaryl,

Is there any reason why using WIPE DATA from the bootloader menu bricks it? Apparently my NVFlash adventures have lead me to discover that my bootloader is iffy, and I want to do a COMPLETE 100% total wipe of my tablet, and then just flash stock JB on it and be done.

Any advice sir?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I'm sorry I don't know the reason WIPE DATA(bootloader) bricks, just that it does. This comes from information provided by those that are unable to recover from what should be a soft brick. Several others are telling the same as I in an attempt to stop some of the bricks.

You can safely use Twrp to wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System, and then flash the factory update of choice. You should be clean at that point.

One warning ensure you have your file to flash on your sdcard (not internal) before you do this and you can access it from Twrp. You do not want to wipe those and reboot without flashing some replacement.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
Yea I can use CWM to perform all those tasks as well. As long as that is a complete wipe, then I will be happy.

It's OK, in my experience, if you wipe and accidentally delete your file on the internal SD card. Just flash it via Fastboot, no big deal ;)

I will work on this at work today after I get these programming assignments taken care of. Thanks for the advice!!!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazard17:
Your tablet can be unbrickable, but you have to sign the special petition (look at my signature).If you helped sharing petition, It would get succes. There's not another way.

SRS Can't technically be ported onto AOSP without the required Framework or an app that can load those libraries and configs correctly (e.g AwesomeBeats) so just adding the srs libraries and configs in AOSP roms wont really do anything...

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmett75:
I've been reading posts on this forum for about 2-3 hours now and I still have some questions.

I have a galaxy s advance with android version 2.3.6 and baseband version XXLK2

i48.tinypic.com/2rz78sm.png

I was planning on rooting my phone and then maybe installing a custom ROM on it.

But I couldn't find a rooted firmware for my region (BELGIUM). And I also couldn't find the stock firmware for my region.

Neither on sammobile.com and neither on samsung-updates.com

My first question is: can I use rooted firmware that's for another region or will this cause problems for me?

My second question is: can I use rooted firmware with another baseband version than XXLK2?

Third question: if the answer on the first two questions is no, how am i supposed to root my phone then?

fourth and for now the last question: what is twrp recovery, and what is it used for, do I need it to root my phone or flash roms?

Thanks in advance!

do you want to stay with gingerbread, or upgrade to jellybean?

because rooting and flashing is much tougher in gb than in JB! tell me that i can help you.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealBorg:
Hi,

I got the same phone / baseband version in Austria. Downloaded XXLK2 firmware from sammobile.com, used simg2img to extract system.img, add su binary (=rooted), made a new system.img with make_ext4fs and flashed with heimdall. Meanwhile I used the same procedure to root and flash the jelly bean firmware XXLPY released for the russian market. Therefore I guess you can also flash a different version of gingerbread.

if u upgrade to JB, root is a one step, 5 min process after which it takes a few more minutes to start flashing roms after flashing a new kernel with Clockworkmod. if u wanna start with jellybean, go here.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2094318(make sure u install the stock samsung rom first , then root then install recovery, then flash a custom rom) this WILL NOT void ur warranty

on the other hand rooting gingerbread is incredibly complex. if u wanna do that go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1985199

its totally safe to flash anither country firmware using odin.then root the supported firmware. also this will void your warranty,

then to install a new kernel with TWRP recovery , go here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1873119

then finally choose the custom rom u want Jetmod or supressed and flash using TWRP(assuming you know how to atleast nter download and recovery mode!)

5. Flash custom roms

Is this the correct order or am i wrong?

You can't install any recovery by itself. It comes with kernel. Only kernel with permanent recovery - CWM is ThunderZap now.

1. Download JB, flash it with Odin. - go again to recovery - do factory reset.

3. Install kernel with CWM (ThunderZap) with dd command in terminal editor

4. Flash custom ROM from CWM recovery.
