[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bowsewr:
Phone: Samsung SGH-I317

Android Version: 4.1.2

I got my new note 2 last week and made it about 2 days before i had to root it and install CWM as i had on my Galaxy SII (which was on US Cellular). I rooted it without difficulty, installed rom manager and installed the newest version of CWM for the Note 2 v6.0.2.5. Here is where my first and only problem has come up.

I tried doing a small 8.45mb OTA AT&T update on the phone ( i did the 4.1.2 OTA update before i rooted it). It downloaded no problem then brought the prompt up that the phone must restart to install. It goes to CWM recovery no problem to install then i get this.

Install Untrusted Package?

THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE

-NO

-NO

-NO

-YES – Install untrusted zip

-NO

-NO

“

Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.5

E: invalid command argument

Finding update package…

Opening update package…

Verifying update package…

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

“

So i know at this point something went wrong as it is bringing up failed outputs. So i go ahead and click - Yes install untrusted zip. Just to see what happens. Then i get the following:

Installing update…

E: Error in /cache/fota/2400258.cfg

(status 7)

Installation aborted

I have searched XDA, google, ect trying to find an answer but am at a loss to why i cant install the OTA updates. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks XDA for the help.

Generally if you have a custom recovery installed you can not install OTA`s
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabbath92:
Same happened to with the S3. Any fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
No fix...

Unless the device uses the stock 3e recovery. ..

The device can be returned to stock...then the OTA taken. ..then root and flash the custom recovery again. ..

Then back up the newer build for later use. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaston28009:
tryed a few times

every time i go back to my first back up it ask me to updated my rom and every time it trys it screws every thing up. anything stock well carrier stock sucks any way. just flash a custom rom most allready have the lateest up date any way. i just stay clear of ota becaues they are so far behind its ridiculous. the guys on xda get the latest update on release day and hand deliver them to us. (good job guys)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Simple fix...

Use TIBU and freeze the updater....g

I have an HTC One X on AT&T and live in the US. I just want to be sure that i am following the right root tutorial. I have Android 4.0.4 (still dont have JB update). I have Sense 4.0 and software number 2.20.502.7

This the right tutorial to follow? :

Also, Do I have to unlock the bootloader, or is it already unlocked?

Can I get the jelly bean update later on if I wanted?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Can you recommend a couple ROMs you think are good that are compatible with my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Egrier:
I'm running Clean Rom 5.1 right now. It is a Sense 4.1, android 4.0.4 rom but it is waaayyy better than the stock rom. Very stable and great battery life. I've also ran his CleanRom JB rom and it is great also. Some people have had random reboot issue while running jb. Me included, but with Clean Rom JB I didn't have any. I've also heard good things about ViperXL.

All ROMs listed here are compatible with your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

Just read through the threads, and you can see what people like. Better yet, just look at the features of the ROMs, see which ones suit you, and try a few.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Hey just. I just upgraded to Android Revolution HD 30.1. For some reason now my wallpaper is changing color. The top smaller portion is changing to black. It slowly goes darker and larger. Then seems to stop at one set level. When I reapply my wallpaper picture it fixes it just temporarily. Also when I lock my phone the wallpaper on my lock screen is correct, It doesn't have the black fade.

Thank you guys.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] iluvkhk:
Hi, I'm not sure if this is an established problem but my wallpaper homescreen doesn't move when I switch between the homescreens. Can someone help me with this? Thanks!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
When you assign a picture as your homescreen you'll need to configure it to scroll left and right, what rom are you using and what launcher?

When I was using GingerBread it was a sinch to setup a scrolling wallpaper, it set itself up to scroll and I loved it ... Got into ICS/JB and all of a sudden it was a pain...

What I did to workaround it is installed Wallpaper wizard and it set the pictures I wanted to scroll ....

It's a difficult app to use as I have a lot of pictures, but I set it once, backed it up with Titanium Backup and haven't had to touch it since.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
Here's what happened:

-Had Eryigit GB​

-Installed PA w/ mevordel's kernel 4.0​

Rebooted recovery​

Started weird bootloop=would go back into recovery and act like its installing something, then reboot, ad infinitum​

I tried reflashing Eryigits rom from odin,

then repartitioning. Somehow it was able to boot into Eryigit's ROM once, but the capacitative buttons didnt work and I couldnt reboot into anything except for download mode or a normal samsung logo bootloop.

I tried a few more things in Odin (not blindly, mind you) and still no go.. I can get it into recovery only if I flash a bootloader in Odin and auto-reboot it, otherwise it just goes back to the bootloop.

I believe I have the same problem as in this thread

I'm trying to adb into my device, but am having trouble detecting it. It'll connect in Odin fine, but not in adb, whether in download mode or just hanging at the samsung logo.

What can I do to fix this without adb working? I'm hoping for an odin fix for it, but through the mountains of threads I've been reading I don't believe there to be.

According to the thread above ^ it needs to be repartitioned manually... I read all the threads linked to and tried adb & heimdall but no luck after like 3+ weeks ):

Can anybody give me a better explanation of whats going on or throw me some troubleshooting advice?

If you are sure of what you state, solution is from post 39 at the following adress

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1676606&page=4

But check if you have a true "memory partitioning issue" best is said when wiping cache you get many advices about what is wrong (normaly in red letters!)

good luck and welcome to our club!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
Hey thanks. I already read through all that stuff ^ and am not having much luck. Is there some way I can IM you or something? PM me if so. You seem very knowledgeable about this matter
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Normally we can solve this within a thread that can help any other getting the same issue.

i am still very involved because end 2011 I got in trouble (I was expecting to have much better performance by flashing a Gnote kernel !!!!) and stayed for months reading at XDA for a save. (also good english training then)

your Pb:

did you check by wiping if you are in this situation? You should get advice that (partition from n 14 and upper can't be read) if so follow the tracks from the relevant post and tell me what goes wrong with you.

I fixed it! you will do it the same!

PS:To enter Adb you should flash FIRST a kernel (with ODIN) rj14 for int'll version or entropy for US model
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
Ok so I got into recovery with entropy's kernel and wiped everything,

When I try to mount usb storage it says:

So yeah, its the internal memory.. now if i could just get adb shell to work right >:(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
okay now I'm just trying to adb shell into it from win7 x64 and fedora 18 linux with no luck. in win7 it shows up in adb devices, but i cant connect to it, right now im thinking its because of the java sdk and problems with the fact that its a 64 bit comp. in fedora adb devices says ???????????? offline usb:2-2...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
So, you were able to flash entropy's kernel (said you have a US device?) Now you can go to recovery mode and enter adb call for;" adb devices" and your will and must show up. No need to mount anything. I 've never, under win7, tryied this. so no comment.

Would you mind to give me what is said after you do a single wipe because we have to be sure your problem is really a memory partition wreck.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
Ok, I was able to adb shell and rebuild the partition table, and it was indeed messed up, and I can mount usb storage, but I still can't get it to boot into any rom, and it refuses to boot into cwm recovery unless its just rebooted from odin. in recovery in the log it has an error about libc.so, idk if that has anything to do with it though. I'm beginning to think the problem may have to do with my usb cable. I accidentally switched the stock one with a Galaxy SII one, which should be fine, but maybe not.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
The "mount USB storage" option is for mounting the SD card on your computer. That error is because you don't have an external SD card inserted.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
hehehe, I kinda realized that after posting. Derp.

But I think it may have to do with /data & maybe other folders/files being R/O (read only..) instead of R/W, as per this thread so I am now convinced I need the bootchain for the galaxy player, but this is just a sneaking suspicion, I need to do some more digging before making a fool of myself again :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Ok you have all the needed stuff and now you are trained and skilled enough. You will succeed.

Why not you to try flashing Mevordel's GB Chip 1.5 rom that is in my view the best for your device, it is light simple and fast and no need for more for what we expect from this excellent but outdated product.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
Yes, I tried flashing it in cwm, along with eryigit (both with entropys kernel flashed over them) and PA venturi, but it refuses to boot properly. If it is the bootchain, how can I get a dump of a working one?

And I was able to dump a lot of stuff from [adb pull */*] and can access logs and dmesg, but havent inspected them fully. Is there an easy way to read the boot log and/or setup a custom log to run preboot? I figure that wouldnt be necessary since the linux kernel does a fine job of logging itself.

And yes I think I am skilled enough now, just was confused how to get to the adb shell, but I'm fairly well versed in linux, so the shell is relatively comfortable for me.

But if I'm able to figure it out I'm going to make a How To thread including what I've found and what you've found and posted to make it easier for nooblets in the future, maybe even make a simple shell script to repartition the US 8gb model.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
I fixed it (:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jistropy:
how?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bmxer4130:
Mainly luck hehe. But actually from the mentioned threads ^^^^^ and this nifty trick, but use caution as I have no clue how well this works for other devices, if it all. And a large part of the problem was that my battery was dead because it wasn't charging correctly when plugged into my computer; and it kept dying in Odin.

Do you have a similar problem?? I can probably help..

this guy is faking his way through his releases, i would not trust this post, and it can only be used for educational purposes,

the boot.img standards are not followed by LG anyways, so it will most likely fail, which i saw with my clockworkmod bootstrap also based on some of these builder files, but! only some files not complete image.

do not trust this post!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] derekcfoley:
Now we all know how great this gadget is as a portable mp3 player,

Its also great for the car.... I no longer use my Cooltrax Mp3 player for long journeys... If anyone wants to try this - Maplin

www.maplin.co.uk

in the uk sells a £10 cassette adapter

http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030421125121999&moduleno=33816&modulecode=

That also has a handsfree mic (the mic wont work though) ... and enables you to plug the xda into your car hi-fi easily. But more importantly it has the 2.5mm headphone socket, unfortunately only a standard one, not the strange nonstandard xda version with four poles! The only downside is the usual "mobile phone noise interference" when it tries connecting to gprs while the music is playing, unless anyone knows of an easy way of shielding the cable! (get the baking foil out!)

Whats the ONLY downside of using this in the car?

Storage! With the cost of MMC cards being high, and a few games roms filling your mmc card, I started to ponder about using an external hard disk with the xda.

Obviously using a MMC>PCMCIA adapter, then plugging in a pcmcia laptop hard disk is convoluted - not to mention probably quite expensive.

Then I discovered the USB Mass Storage drivers, for pocket pc http://www.deje.gmxhome.de/download.html

which were developed for the Casio pocket Pc.... That got me thinking.... does it mean that you could install the drivers... fit the USB cradle in the car, and use some kind of usb gender changer plug to connect the xda to an external hard disk...

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...m9kdWN0X3NwZWNpZmljYXRpb25z&product_uid=35706

Wow just think, you could put all your music from your home pc in your glove compartment! and power it from the cigarrette lighter (obviously splitting the power into your xda as well) Occasionally loading it up by connecting it to your home pc!

Has anyone tried this, unfortunately I dont have a usb hard disk... :?:

obviously the xda is only usb 1.0 but presumably usb hard disks are downwardly compatibile, and the data rate required for mp3 would not be too much for the poor old version of usb to stream to the device for playback?

The xda user manual and website just says interface is USB (no version specified)

According to the Iomega website this drive does support USB 1.1

What are your thoughts guys?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] climber:
No

Derek,

The answer is no. Enter 'slave' in the search function of this board and you will find the reason.

Sorry for the short response to your enthousiastic and long question/suggestion but the weather here is just TOO good te be inside the house. :P

c ya
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] derekcfoley:
thanks climber,

I wasnt aware of the term "slave" in relation to USB. Presumably this is just a software term with regards to the OS, or is it a more fundamental hardwired connection from the connector onto the xda data bus, that software would not be able to repurpose into being a "master device"

Derek
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Make every CD as 512M Harddisk for your XDA!

Here is the solution!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] climber:
Don't think so

Well..... it depends on your requirements I guess.

Not mine!!!

Robert
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] derekcfoley:
Thanks for the suggestion Joey, but I have to agree with climber... whats the point of connecting a laptop to it. Sort of defeats the object of using the xda as a in car mp3 player, why not use the laptop instead!

I'd like to have a seperate removable hard disk just connected to the xda.

shame the host/slave issue cant be resolved.

What about the PCMCIA adapter method?

Ayone tried that out?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martinlong1978:
Also a no go. An MMC PCMCIA adapter uses SDIO (as do all cards which are not 'simple storage' cards). The XDA unfortunately does not support SDIO - one of those short sighted O2 thing.

I think they wanted to prevent us from sticking Bluetooth cards in and using them instead of their pricey GPRS netowork!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] derekcfoley:
Shame...

I'm keeping my optimism for the future.... Keeping my chin up despite all the tales of woe...

Hopefully one day soon someone will post a solution with some new fangled device/software combination, either that or wait until 40 gig mmc cards appear...

I'm guessing at 2007, plus of course another 2 years for the cards to become affordable.

Of course by then none of us will want the xda.

:wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] climber:
yeah same here.....

First of all, I am happy with my XDA...........now!

This might change in the future when others enter that market as well. I have worked for Compaq and my old buddies over there (now HP of cousre) snicker about the XDA.

That has two reasons:

A) they are plain jealous because the iPAQ can't yet

B) they know what is coming up next at HP

If would bet (my mom just don't allows me to :wink: ), I would put my money on HP bringing out something like that in the future. The question is when and will it do my laundry as well?

QUESTION TO DEREK: you describe the cassette thing.... what is your experience on sound quality???

You might have seen my home grown carkit and i think of using that for the speaker. http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=853

'USB on the go'

Hi,

The soon-to-come new standard called 'USB on the go' would solve your problems.. If you get for example a hd-chassis with this on built-in, you could possibly connect that chassis directly via USB to your XDA :o)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliguu:
Sony PC companion syncs outlook contacts/calendars via GOOGLE account

So on the circumstances (such as for WORK), where you only just want to sync directly between PC and device, seems only something like MYPHONEEXPLORER can do.

But the thing is that i find it (MPE) quite buggy with windows 8 and newer handsets.

Any other suggestions?
