[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongo_au:
Hi, this morning I encountered something which I haven't seen before in my 3 years or so of flashing roms on Android phones. The scenario was the standard process: Root with Odin > Install CWM with Odin > Copy Rom / gapps package to sdcard > Wipe & Install rom with CWM.

I rooted my Note II using CF Auto Root, all went fine, I flashed the latest Phil's touch CWM recovery using Odin which was also successful.

I had root access and was able to do a titanium backup of apps and messages/call logs. I successfully did a Nandroid backup of the stock rom.

After wiping data through CWM as per normal, I flashed the latest Utacka ParanoidAndroid and gapps. The flash was successful, but after rebooting, the 'Samsung Note II' splash screen only appeared briefly, then the image sheared and distorted and the screen went black, in less than three seconds.

I restored my nandroid backup and repeated the process, this time also formatting system, and installing CM10.1 nightly instead of PA. Again, I got a distorted splash screen then a black screen when trying to boot.

Can anyone think of a reason why my phone does not seem to be able to boot a custom rom?

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koalauk:
I read on the forum someone else had a similar issue with cm as well
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongo_au:
Really? I've tried searching xda, google and the CM forums and havent found anything relevant.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:
I had this problem recently and after some nice guys helping me out we conclude that the solution is to flash RedPill kernel as the culprit for this glitch is the stock kernel you previously had.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
I had such issue with my Note2 too. I was advised to flash Thor kernel 0.15 too after flashing cm10.1 and gapps. And problem was solved. Now cm10.1 boots normal on my Note2.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holern:
I'm new here and im only here because i destroyd my S3 software.

i was using cmd 10.1 on my rooted phone but i thought i would try to downgrade it to cmd 9.1

without further thinking (stupid me) i downloaded the 9.1 update from the setting - about phone - etc.

when i then restarted my phone was stuck at bootlogo screen. when i then tried restart to clockworkmod i came right to "dowload custom rom" screen.

i have tried to install a stock rom with odin without any luck and also, by using odin, installed a pit. file. when i now have installed a stock rom i get the normal stock rom boot loader screen but are stuck at that point.

i have also tried to install clockworkmod with odin. just came to the "download custom rom" screen.

Can anyone help me or is my phone totaly broken? :'(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Played with the phones yesterday at p4u in oxford street (bond street), however today the store doesnt have any demo units. says they will get demo units soon.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Gonna have a look around later......i read somewhere late yesterday that more P4U stores would have units in today (21st), will be in MK later for some physio, so will try and locate a store there, then back home to Northampton, so i will have a pop in the store here see if i can get lucky.:D
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Posted reply in wrong thread...ooops......anyway,

No luck for me today trying to hunt down a demo unit, 2 P4U stores, 3 CPW stores, Vodafone store, 02 store and EE store, no luck.:crying:
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I don't know about stores in the rest of the uk but a few phones 4 us in london and three stores are expecting demo units next week between the 26th-1st
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
So, apart from someone elsewhere saying they tried one out in a Birmingham store, and some stores saying they are getting them soon, do we have any definite sightings yet?

I would like to try and populate the OP with store locations so people can go and try for themselves.:D
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Yes there is definate sightings in london. The phones 4 u store in bond street that did the launch now have a display model however, you can't check out the camera/video or front camera or music in headphones because of the way they secured the phone.

The three store also down bond street a bit further up (opposite selfriges) had a clean demo yesterday i.e it wasn't bolted to anything so i got to test out camera/video, front camera/video, audio, phone calls in the shop and got to walk around in the shop with the phone to test out the camera on different subjects. I don't know if they would have bolted the phone down now but I am glad I went in search again yesterday as i finally got to play with it without any restrictions as such (apart from obviously not being allowed to go out the shop with it)
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
I thought HTC distributed demo units for reviewers,but 4 days later still no reviews apart 1 or 2 short amateur videos.
[One (M7) General] brizzle7:
Good thread idea! I'm going to go searching Oxford Street sometime next week, I take it it's only the Bond Street stores?

[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Thanks Phil, OP updated, was it you in another thread that said you had a play in a Birmingham store?
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
It has been advised by the HTC staff that go around demoing the phones to shops that the demo units are running atleast 2 month old software and is not retail software.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
yer i mentioned it on the uk pre order thread :)
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
So, any more of you lucky folk in the UK found somewhere to play with the One?
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
hello Guys I have a update for this thread.

Three store islington angel - London has a demo unit however the guy is such a pr**k and won't let anyone play with it. He claims it is his personal phone when I know it isn't because I saw him in the morning but because I had to go somewhere i said to him i will come back after he said ok. When I went back he was on lucnh and I asked the staff they said I would have to wait for him to come back as he was the only one with the demo and demoing it to customers then when he came hes telling me its his personal phone.

I thought you know what let me leave it because the staff in the three store in islington angel are FOS anyway, no wonder when I walk past it is always empty and there is like 6 or so staff members sitting in there twiddling their thumbs or talking aboslute rubbish amongst themselves on top of that they are absolutely clueless about phones but that's another matter.

Also three store in Kilburn - London also has a demo unit thankfully they let you play with it. So far all the three stores that have the demo units they are not bolted down to anything, the staff members have it around their necks.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Thanks chief, OP updated.:good:

I was in my local 3 store (AGAIN) yesterday looking for a unit to play with, the young lad who approached me as i walked in store asked if i was after anything, i said i wanted a One to play with, he told me that it was only announced a couple of days ago......i told him i already had it on pre order since last Tuesday, he sort of looked as if i was lying, then said they wouldn't have any for a while because it's not out yet, i pointed out the Xperia Z that they have had for the last few weeks wasn't out either and he just shrugged his shoulders, i then pointed at the big A frame in the store front that showed a big pre order poster with the One on it.....again he just shrugged.......kids eh?:cowboy:
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
haha yea, i swear it never ceases to amaze me how little the people who work in these retail outlets (not just phones) know about their products.

usually i just nod and agree when i realise that i know more than they do lol
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Cant agree more but at least you can cut straight through the BS though and put them on the spot ;)

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Hopefully next week we should be able to play around with the phone in at least a couple of stores without a trip to london or birmingham.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I find staff in alot of three stores I have been to other than the one in bond street, absolutely clueless and most of the time rude.

There has been times when I have been to ask for a demo unit of the HTC one, oh why don't you play with the Z its near enough the same thing, ermmm no it isn't and if i wanted to play with the z i would have gone and played with the z.

Again alot of them didn't know what a HTC one was yet big pre order sign on shop window and dummy models on the wall?? or it is too new or as mentioned already they say its not released yet but yet they have had a xperia z demo for the last 3 and bit weeks.

If it wasn't for the fact that it is normally three store that get this demo handsets early there is not way on earth I would even look into their shops with their generally, rude and clueless or plain stupid staff. No wonder there stores are normally empty.

Infact and here is a joke right, over a week ago in the three store in angel and woman came in and wanted to buy a new phone and wanted to compare the s3 and the XZ, the guy there didn't have a clue about the Zs features so I had to tell her. In the end she went with the Z. How bad do you have to be for a customer to be selling another customer a product in a phone shop!!
[One (M7) General] stretched:
Anyone in the States have them? Best Buy?
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Well i finally managed to get my hands on One......only a dummy unit though, in the 3 store, Grosvenor Centre in Northampton.

1 word.......SUPERB.

It looks fantastic, not a lot bigger than my One X, and i thought the back had ridges on where the speakers are, thats what it looks like in the pictures of the silver......but no, smooth all over. I think i have made the right choice.:D
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I had a play with the dummy model in Three in Didcot. It does feel very deluxe.

I'll have to stick up for the staff in there as the lady that served me seemed fairly clued up and very helpful.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I'll add that to the OP, is that the only 3 store in Didcot, if not can you give me the specific location please?
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Dammit now I want one even more!!
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
:laugh: Get yourself into town Daleski, it's a gorgeous piece of kit. A guy in P4U Abington st. told me they may be getting a demo unit tomorrow, he seemed to know what he was on about, he played with one yesterday but it was one of the area reps unit, he was of a similar view to me that it is stunning.:good:
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Busy all weekend so not going to get the chance unless I can sneak to town on sunday without my mrs knowing.... either way definitely looking forward to getting the phone.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Yes, it's not a working model just the dummy. I'll be popping into town over the weekend to check Carphone Warehouse, EE and 3 store again.

I will update you after with an update.

AW: Demo units.....updated 27/2/13

I were in an O2 Shop today (germany). It's a great phone :) Just feels great in the hand and also, what I didn't knew, the polycarbonate frame has a mat finish.

[One (M7) General] biohaufen:
No it doesn´t ;) Just looked great and it wasn´t the same black as the one on the One S... (looked better for me)
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Afaik all three stores I have been to in london so far have a dummy model (not a real working) model and playing with a dummy is pointless as it is not the real phone. The black dummy does look nice but silver demo is superior lol.

If your going to include dummy models then these following three stores have dummy (note not real models) and are all the black model.

London - Dalston

London - Oxford Circus (practically right next door to oxford circus station)

London - Liverpool Street

London - Camden Town

London - Clapham Junction

How would you rate the screen when off and speakers black matching.

From

1. Not at all.

Don´t know, black one was only a dummy and the white one was real....

But I would say 7-8.

[One (M7) General] PHTC:
Theres a working silver model in P4U in Leeds on Commercial street (Not sure about the others). Had a play with it today, really liking blink feed!

The sales guy didn't know much about it and me and a colleague had to change the language back to English after some helpful customer changed it to arabic and no-one in the store knew how to change it back :confused:

phones4u live demo units

not sure if anyone's posted this before, but i read somewhere that 10 phones4u stores will have a live demo unit from, 21stfeb - 10th march, so naturally i got in contact with phones4u to see if i could get a list of these stores. sure enough i got an email back with a list of all the phones4u stores showing live demo units. i myself went to phones4u (tottenham court road) and had a play. very very very nice device, just couldn't feel how would be in my hand since they had it in a huge clamp, that doesn't let you pick up the device. shame really. anyway, for UK users here's that list.

I was going to go there tommorrow and have a look, hopefully at least one of these stores will have one. Dont care about a dummy unit as im looking for the feel of the real phone.

Breaking news! I have just rang a couple three stores around london after reading some of the posts about people getting HTC One's this week via three uk.

It turns out to be truth that Three UK will be getting the phones in stock on the 8th of march (aka this friday aka a week early) and will be the first uk network/retailer to be getting the HTC One to Uk customers!

heres hoping p4u and the others take delivery much earlier than the 15th!

[One (M7) General] Basil3:
Yep, often staff don't know what is going on. I went in to a Vodafone store in Dublin before the One X release date, the guy who served me said that some had just been delivered an hour ago. I asked if he could sell one to me, he made a phone call and was given approval.

[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I'm getting pretty hacked off with the availability of "live" demo units, it's probably a maximum of 10 days until full release and their is still very limited access to handsets.

It can't be good for the shops without them, anyone walking in off the street looking for a new phone or upgrade can only go on what staff tell them, how can they promote an unreleased phone to general punters if they don't have one for them to play with?:(
