SO the TMo store will swap sim cards with me if I go in and tell them I want a new one? Also... where can I find the radio stack 6.24 stack or the AT&T?

Thanks for your help. I really would like to get this working again.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] camarao:
I've heard that its very difficult if at all possible to downgrade the Radio ROM back to its normal state. This is why I have not done it yet.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mdavidm:
I posted instructions in the following thread for locating and installing the 6.24 radio stack: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2452&highlight=. If you would like the AT&T files (I prefer the TMo files), send me a PM and I will help you get them.

Downgrading radio stacks is difficult, and maybe impossible in some cases, but as long as you have the four files listed in the referenced thread, it seems to work well.

I backed up my original ROM on an SD Card so I could revert back to it from 4.00.16. I tired to revert back today but for some reason the image is not on the SD card. Now what?

How can I get my old T-Mobile ROM back? Any ideas?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jta:
If you have a Card Reader, you can use XDATools to burn a rom image onto it, then use that image to reload your XDA via the SDCard method...

I just bought a SDCard reader from WalMart, for 19 bucks, it is a Lexar JumpDrive Trio, and it can read SD cards, XD CArds, and Sony Memorystick, and it is USB 2.0..

It is nice, albeit a bit flimsy..

But it works.

anyone had SDS were using this kind of roms ?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
What you have to understand is that your phone is never safe if you have the affected firmware version on your emmc chip. Although the software patches Samsung created were designed to help prevent it, if your phone is moving towards brick land, it will do so no matter what version, kernel, rom or recovery you have.

Unless someone finds a way to update the firmware on the emmc chip, no one with the affected version is safe.

What the hell are you saying? You know what has happened to a sds bricked phone? A wrong command has been triggered which bricked the storage on the device. So if that command is stopped from being issued then how can one have sds issue?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gub:
AFAIK, the fix basically crashes the phone when the conditions triggering SDS appear, preventing permanent damage.

So while your phone won't die it might become unstable.

Don't worry. He might have been using note2core kernel which doesn't have sds patches till yet. I check the forums almost daily and I. Have never seen anyone have sds on omega 14 which is released just on Monday so I don't think I had skipped that thread.

He's talking about the last version of Perseus kernel, but if u just bought your Note 2, you should root it first and then install a custom rom ( i suggest Android Revolution rom ) and then intall the last version of Perseus kernel... all of that and i cant confirm you that your device is protected from Sudden Death.

Very bad news.

He is saying that he was running perseus v33. I can't say anything now.

I already saw another guy that had sds on omega 14... so our devices are not secured even with custom roms and kernels :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
I think it's with omega only. Could you confirm the kernel and recovery from him?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Apparently the reason of sds in his case was that he had an obsolete recovery which wasn't sds safe.

Can you try to not down all the instances where people with latest stuff got sds? It would be really helpful.

Hi guys,

I am owning Galaxy Note II international version.

currently I am on Stock kernel and now planning for installing custom kernel.

But I am little bit confuse about Kernel...

I need kernel for battery life , smooth and for performance purpose...

So suggest me the BEST kernel for my Note II

or should I stick on Stock ????

Is very difficult to judge which is the best. It seems a lot of note2 user using perseus kernel as it contain st tweaks and good battery performance.

Which ever kernel you try.. Dont put Redpill 1.30... It drained my battery like hell... :( I changed to Perseus and I face some problems which I am trying to figure out... But the battery drain problem is not there thankfully...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkvuong:
Perseus works fine for me, battery life similar to stock. For performance, you can OC the CPU to 1.8Ghz and the GPU to 800Mhz. Also it can changes the charging current, tweak the audio and calibrate the screen, which is a plus for me.

Even if you set it to 1700mA, the phone cannot draw more power than the usb port (i.e. 500mA for a normal USB port). If you charge it via your computer, it is normal to take around 6, 7 hours. The charger for Note II is 2A, that's why it charges in less than 4 hours for me.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenderlovag:
Hi

I have a question for what I did not find a straightforward answer;

Some back story: I have an Xperia Arc S with stock .587 rom, I wanted to unlock it so I payed on a site to unlock it with point test {if this is the correct way to say it}, the simlock was removed 'yaay' and they also unlocked the bootloader. so a few days back I wanted to play around with kernels and roms, tried lupus with xperia hd 3.0.2, I didn't like it, don't ask why, and I wanted to return to stock, I messed up, soft bricked the phone...long story short, today I resolved the problem and I managed to install the stock rom again.

TL;DR; Can you use the Arc S stock rom with Lupus v10 kernel ? and does anybody have any experience with it ? worth ?

Thank you

If you have any other kernel suggestion that would come in handy too :fingers-crossed:

Greetings from Hungary.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destroyedbeauty:
Sv: [Q] lupus v10 with stock 587 rom

As an old Arc S user, I'll tell from my own experiences..

Using Lupus or any custom made kernels that are made with the purpose to give you overclock options and alternative CPU Governors on stock & non-rooted ROM.. It isn't worth it, because you will not see any difference in performance.

Tweak and debloat .587 ROM in case you are going to use Lupus kernel, I am saying.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenderlovag:
Sound interesting, I mean I don't really care about performance, that much, the only thing that I noticed with Lupus kernel {or I guess whatever kernel} is the battery life increase.

I'm still thinking and searching the forum to find a good answer, I have no problem with the stock kernel + rom, but if a custom kernel would give the same performance + better battery life that would definitely help

ps I have no idea how to tweak and debloat[ i don't even know what that is] :silly:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destroyedbeauty:
Sv: [Q] lupus v10 with stock 587 rom

Well, battery life can increase if you are using the right CPU governor and I/O Schelduer (spelling?).

But the increase in your prefered option (BATTERY LIFE) isn't that big on an extended functionality custom kernel, I think, on stock & bloatwared ROM. It can be even worse.. Some battery tweaks in build.prop and some init.d power saving tweaks / scripts can help perhaps.

Best is to try it yourself! Be aware of partial wakelocks, Sony got some bad behaviour with applications that wakes up your Arc S.. :D

So far, because of closed source of the kernel or some other things (what I have heard), it's not possible to make a working room with pdroid. I already tried that with... omega rom I think.

Maybe in the future. Meanwhile I am using LDE.

Edit: I also tried openpdroid, but the autopatcher stops because of a missing jpg. Tried to fix it myself, but well... Next git version maybe.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RecklessTurtle:
That sounds like a hardware issue. You might have a short on the mobo or in the battery, that is possible. I'd start swapping the battery first. If it works with a new battery, well done. If not, then it is probably a HW issue.

Personally, I wouldn't count on any words from the Sony shop. I work as an electronics engineer and some of the things these technicians/customer service representatives say make you go " :confused: ". If they don't understand the problem, that immediately means HW is faulty and the first thing they do is swap all the internals of the machine. That is their problem solving algorithm. ;)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RecklessTurtle:
That is correct. It should turn on. If it doesn't do that, the problem is 99% from the motherboard. You tried the USB cable on another phone/accessory, right? Or did you check the micro usb port for damage/shorts? If these are not the cause, then I'd agree with the verdict, you'd probably need a new mobo. Start browsing in eBay :)
