[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul-Lemonidis:
Hello all

I am really hoping someone can explain this to me please. I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) from Vodafone in the UK direct. I was under the impression from this site, and general research on the Net, it has an unlocked boot loader and my experience with it thus far seems to validate that. I want to place a custom ROM on it.

Here is what I have done thus far. The device is rooted and is working fine from that perspective. Root checker and such like all say this is fine. Additionally, it supposedly has the correct and latest version of CWR on it, 6.0.1.9. This was done using the ROM Manager from the Play store. It is the non touch version, at present. However upon booting in to CWR I have no advanced options on the main menu. I would upgrade to the touch version. However, that is not free and whilst I have no issue paying for it, in principle, I am reluctant to, in case I end up in the same position with that version. It does not state what the upgrade version is. It states on the upgrade introduction page, it is also available as a free download from the clockworkmod website. However. after much digging through their website I land up back at the ROM Manager page in the Play store, which quite rightly says it is already installed. The only manual download I can find is for, yes you guessed it, 6.0.1.9 and that when expanded is simple an SU.apk and a few such related files. How that will flash the correct version of CWR with touch enabled etc. is anyone's guess? The device is currently running JB 4.1.2 and was pushed out to my device by OTA update just before XMAS. The baseband version is N7100BUDLL1 and the build number is JZ054K.N7100XXDLL4. The kernel is shown as 3.0.3-679347 and is dated December 11 2012.

I am at a total loss here. I have flashed phones a number of times and have never come across anything so seemingly utterly baffling. Is it actually possible to get a full version of CWR for this build please and, if so how please? I am very reluctant to wipe the phone and install a custom ROM until I can verify CWM is running correctly. Surely I cannot be the first person in the UK on Vodafone to want a custom ROM and the boot loader is supposedly unlocked too?

Yours desperately trying to understand what is actually going on here please. Any help and\or enlightenment will be gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.

Use TWRP recovery for Note2 instead of CWM.

Flash it using odin.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul-Lemonidis:
Many thanks for your quick reply. I was wondering about that. I'll give it a try. It seems from what you're saying to ditch CWR as it does not work properly with my device for some reason? Just mine or all UK Vodafone models is my next question. So I am also left asking did CWR's own program to install CWR downloaded the wrong version of it for my model, despite being installed directly from the Play Store? Obviously I chose the correct model in the menu. Do I take it there is no CWR version that will work properly in my device, unless it is just my device, of course? I am just trying to understand what is going on here. It is more the lack of any sensible logic to this I find frustrating, more than actually not being to Flash the phone to be honest. Or is it just a dodgy installation? Although I have tried installing it by ODIN and Rom Manager the result is always the same. Everything says its installed fine but it just doesn't work upon booting in to it??!! I will try the other way now.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
First of all update your firmware. You are vulnerable to sds.

Secondly as for your problem.

Go to cwm page in desktop mode and download the recovery for your phone. Touch or non touch anything would work. Then rename the downloaded file to recovery.img and flash it in recovery option via mobile odin and you are done.

Can I upgrade my phone from android 2.2 to the newest version or to cm10.1 without voiding my warranty?
[LG Optimus Black] Omessy7:
You should have some sorta companion, and when u plug in your usb with phone it should tell you if you have an update available...if not then you can reach higher and. Ver. Through a Custom ROM like cm10.1 but custom ROM requires root and unlocking the bootloader which will void your warrenty...so unless you really care about warrenty...it's worth it! Custom ROMs as such provide lots of nice customizations that official updates dont.... Hope I helped m8 :D

wierd situation i am in. my battery charges to 100 %....i tinker with it and little by little my battery drains to about 90%...heres the thing though....i reboot the inspire and the battery says its up to 97 again. after some usage, it will get to 56 %....i tinker some more, then reboot it. then it is back to 78 %. i have done the battery calibration, manually wiping battery stats through recovery. why is my inspire giving me false battery stats. even when im at 10 %, my cell stays on forever. its like the device is not recognizing its true charge. anybody have any ideas on why this is doing that? any feedback would be appreciated. oh, btw, this phone has done this even when i was pure stock before root. i tried installing a new battery, but that does the same thing.

plz help
[HTC Inspire 4G] MidnightJava:
Have you let the battery discharge fully after calibrating?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aphang22:
Maybe it's corrupted install

Have you tried a different OS or version?
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrisb906:
I have tried it all..new battery..full wipe..battery cal apparently..it does it on all roms
[HTC Inspire 4G] MidnightJava:
You haven't answered what ROM you're using. Also you haven't confirmed whether you took the battery to a full discharge after calibrating it.

im going to root my s3 via root 66, i was wondering will i lose root if i flash a different rom? if not then what is a good, fast rom out there, im thinking liquid smooth rom!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
Most roms have root already injected so you won't lose it. And liquid is a great choice.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Refer to my signature as there is no best rom, the reference guide.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] falcons2:
Its all about personnel preference and what you want from the rom. For me my top touchwiz roms would be wicked, frosty, and freegs3. There all stable and offer great battery life. If you want an aosp rom I'd go for liquidsmooth as its very fast and stable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
im doing a backup right now of the stock rom, then im going to flash liquidsmooth and try that for a couple of days then try something else until i find the perfect one!

Since each person is different their definition of best doesn't apply to everyone. Hence no best thread. Locked

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oka1:
From the moderator

The Best Rom is the one you like....... most roms are not all that different......... Do your research and homework and experiment with them all then you will know which works best for you.

.......So asking what is a best Rom usually starts a dialogue the goes nowhere.......Therefore.......

It's been a while since I've flashed a rom to my captivate so I haven't kept up with new roms for it. Just wondering which 4.2 roms are the most stable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thyjesster:
A stable Cm10 rom from get.cm

Cm10.1 is pretty good but not perfect.

Hellybean and slimbean are not perfect either.

Any alpha or stable cyanogen build is pretty good and proven though.

Hello

I need to send my device to warranty, it have a problem in the acelerometer, my bootloader is locked but I've rooted the phone to repair the wireless issue not being able to connect and disconnect wpa networks.

Every posts that i've seen that talks about unroot the phone they talk in unlocked bootloaders, that's not my case, so how can I make the phone stock again? Can i just use the Sony PCCompanion and SUS Repair?

thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moriarty82:
Flash the latest stock ftf from flashtool or perform a SUS Repair.

PS: Wrong section btw, post ur questions in Q&A section from next time...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Andrewasth:
Yeah! Just repair it via pc companion or sus and you shouldn't have root! If you don't want to repair you can unroot using root many android!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrmusicguy:
So I've gotta ask and take it easy on me if this is a stupid question. But do only certain roms work with s-on. I'm asking because every Rom above 4.1.1 has never gotten past the boot screen on my EVO. So is this question legitimate?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
From what i read yes, but same with s-off depending on what version you're on.. S-off is the way to go, i was having mad issues flashing with s-on and always ended up in a boot loop, did s-off yesterday and have tried three different roms successfully... Totally cool.. Try the s-off using dirtyracun and if you have issues, they will help you out in their irc chanel... Bigdaddy explained it best to me... Him and captain throwback ate good to go if you need help...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mulhiny:
Some Roms will require you to flash the kernels first via fastboot or the flash image gui app. Pain in the ass if you ask me. Just go S-off..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrmusicguy:
Thanks guys....in some cases I've said I'm lucky to have all mac in my house but I feel unlucky with this s-off process. No one is supporting mac, and while I know terminal really well I don't wanna brick a phone I got 3 days ago
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ninja25:
S off and it will save you time and stress while flashing roms. Just come to the dark side 8-)

You can create an ubuntu live cd to boot from and use that to s-off...or does that not work on a mac?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxsrbija:
Hello,

Today I installed the leaked I9300XXUFMB3 firmware on my S3. I think it's quite nice, but I really hate the new lock screen.

So my question is: Is it plausible to somehow get the lock screen from 4.1 on new 4.2?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
I would like to watch Netflix on a TV using the tablet, but the screen remains on at all times. I set the brightness to zero, but the screen is still a bit distracting and I'd prefer to not to waste battery life unnecessarily. I found an app on Google Play called Screen Standby, but it requires root. Are there any other alternatives? I would root my device, but I am on the latest stock JB firmware, so rooting seems complicated. If this is required, what is the latest tutorial on how to root? You would think this would be a feature built-in to the Android OS by now.

ok. i am about to retire the htc thunderbolt and root the siii. i backed up my apps with titanium to the 32 gig sd card which is now inserted in the siii.

going to run with CleanROM 5.6

can i restore app + data from thunderbolt to siii without issues? or restore apps only and lose thunderbolt data? other suggestions are welcome.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
I recommend that you restore the apps only at first just to be safe. And then later while using the phone, if you have a situation where you needed your old data then go ahead and restore the app & data again.

OR go ahead and restore apps & data at first and then Clear Data on an individual basis if an app is misbehaving.

..Oh and make sure not to restore old system apps, that could be a big problem.

Going from ics to jb seems to cause problems if you restore data. I agree with Crusymclovin(haha).

I also have the Canadian version Tablet P5113 and managed to mess up things badly using that file you mention, CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifibby-gtp5113.

After rooting and upgrading firmware to 4.2.2 I soon discovered the Tablet ran too slow. So I decided to go back to Stock Build running android 4.1.1 but I did NOT back a backup image, doh!

So my only option was to take a chance in downloading a "Stock Firmware" off the internet.

NOW, I've discovered that I cannot install Canadian Banking Apps without getting an error, "Your Device isn't compatible with this version".

I think the reason is because of the Build.Prop file is no longer showing Canada as the country and also a few other entries that have the "Espresso10wifibby" named. Argg. I should have left things alone.

What I was wondering is, if you would be able to take a look at your Build.Prop File, and either private message me or post your configuration and settings on this site?

I am going to Odin back to 4.0.4 stock.

Can I just wipe and flash CM10.1 right aftter or is there a need to go to 4.1 first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
You can go directly to CM10.1, no need to flash anything in particular beforehand. I believe the only requirement is an unlocked bootloader.

Make sure to do a nandroid backup of your existing setup first. You should also read the thread on backing up your IMEI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
Thank you very much.

If I already did backup my IMEI months ago, would I need to do that again?

Hey guys,

I'm curious as to which radio has worked best for you guys with Bell Canada. I'm situated in Montreal, QC. (I don't know if that detail will help at all)

I currently have Baseband version i9250XXLJ1 installed by default. I get fairly decent download speeds (roughly 3mb down), although I get a lot of dropped calls, dead zones and area's with very poor reception compared to my mates.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Same thing

I've been having the same issue as well. I had my original Gnex that I got with bell. it broke recently and I got a new replacement Galaxy nexus....Same dropping call issue.

the problem I have is I'll be on a call for like....5 mins and all of a sudden the person on the other end cuts out, then I try to hang up the call but it's almost like the phone freezes for 15 or 20 seconds and then returns to normal, at which point I call the person back. It's really annoying and since I can't make the phone emulate the problem, Bell won't replace it for that reason. If you've found a fix, please let me know!

I have been trying for two days to access my internal memory (aka sdcard0). I have flashed all the way down to Roger's stock rom . I have formatted it, tried using the "restore-sdcard-after-downgrade" tool several times. I have flashed modem, core, and ROM several times with different modems and kernals. I have tried to mount/unmount the memory using various methods; recovery, numerous apps on Google Play, changing it's permissions. I have done everything that I have found worked for others with this problem, except use ADB code to rewrite the reparations. This stuff is Greek to me (and I don't speak Greek).

Can someone take me through this process, step by step. Assume I have no idea what you are talking about, because I don't now the first thing about how to use code/script/whatever it is called. Internal memory is intact; it works fine, because odin can access it and write to it. I have written several back-ups to it. The phone can't see it and cannot use it. I can't seem to figure out how to use my extScCard to install apps, despite trying things that worked for others. This leaves me with an extremely limited amount of memory to use for apps. Stock ROM has taken most of it. Also, I have lost USB connectivity, thus cannot use PC for odin functions, tool kit, or even file transfer. I have mobile odin and recovery. If I need a file I have to remove extSdCard, put it into an adapter, insert it into PC, transfer files, and then reverse the process in order to get them onto my phone. Just to clarify, I am unable to download files directly to my my phone via wifi, due to lack of internal memory. However, phone is currently stable (no bootloop or brick issues issues.

You can expect a generous donation if you can help me get this thing working again.
