Can I upgrade my devise to WM2003 4.00.11 using ROM Kitchen and .exe file??????:

My current status is:

ROM: 4.00.01
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] david beckham:
yes...the only versions you cant upgrade or downgrade using the exe file is Tmobile ROMS

the 4.00.10 and 4.00.16

the others can upgrade using exe...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Hi ...

I cooked and downloaded a ROM 4.00.11 and tried to upgrade a Qtek 1010 ... the XDA restarts and and error message tells that "Can't open USB/com port ......". Some one here said it's normal and that I have to redo it many times. I tried it over 10 times and the same is still happening. :(

Do I miss something ?? :oops:

Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:

I tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used the XDAtools from the kitchen ... same result :( :( :( :( :(

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ritmo-unido:
Hi Biso007,

Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:

http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171

and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.

:wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Hi Ritmo ...

Thanks for guiding me to the IDIOTS guide :lol:

May be I should have mentioned that I wanted to use the easy way ... without the headache of SD cards and BootLoader !! .... :roll:

I thought the EXE method was made for the IDIOTS like me :D ... but seems I need more learning and money to be become an IDIOT :oops:

Any more help plz ......
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ritmo-unido:
It's dead simple... I was scared like you are, but if you follow the instructions as they are, you will see that you are not any more of an IDIOT than the rest of us.

In the begining I only used to play with .EXE files, there was/is no way out, so I had to resign myself to the fact of going to the next step, and blieve you me, if you do as the IDIOTS guide, not as bad as you may think.

The SD card and the Reader are not that expensive...

:wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Hi Ritmo ...

Does it mean to totally give up the EXE method :?:

Now I wonder if it did ever work for any one here ... or it works in certain conditions ??
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ritmo-unido:
The .EXE ones only works for NON T-Mobile ROMs. If by 'mistake' you get a T-Mobile ROM, then you have got to use the .NBF or .NB1 upgrade/downgrade. After that, if you download NON T-Mobile ROMs than you can carry on palying with the .EXE ones...

Hope it helps.

:wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
actually, I still have my original ROM 3.18 as I couldn't upgrade in any way :oops:

Now I'm thinking to cook the 3.17 one ... may it will work and be the base for further upgrade ... any advice ???

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda00:
So, first of all, Pure Vanilla is based on an older JellyMod version (v2 I guess), but since then each of them has made his own tweaks to the ROM to suit his liking and now they're a bit different from each other, you would be best suited testing both of these and then choosing the best one... Both are great by the way

I personally think JellyMod is better. But Pure Vanilla is debloated which optimalized the CPU and RAM, if I'm correct. The other difference is that JellyMod uses Apex Launcher and Pure Vanilla uses Nova Launcher.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
HELLO EVERYONE AT XDA, TODAY I WILL BE SHOWING YOU HOW TO RESET FLASH COUNTER AND DEVICE STATUS ON THE SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10.1

I DON'T TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THE APPS I WILL BE USING BUT YOU CAN PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON FOR ME FOR MAKING THIS GUIDE

REQUIREMENTS:

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10.1 ROOTED [ OF COURSE ]

TRIANGLE AWAY APP [ DOWNLOAD BELOW ]

PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

DOWNLOAD TRIANGLE AWAY APP AND INSTALL

GIVE ROOT PERMISSIONS AND DOWNLOAD THE REQUIRED FILES ACCORDING TO YOUR MODEL

THEN AFTER DOWNLOADING IS COMPLETE, TAP RESET FLASH COUNTER AND STATUS [ YOU WILL BE TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT BOOT MENU ]

HERE YOU SEE YOUR CURRENT STATUS, PRESS VOLUME UP BUTTON TO RESET FLASH COUNTER AND STATUS AND IT WILL REBOOT

IMMEDIATELY AFTER REBOOT, POWER OFF THE DEVICE. NOW WE GO INTO DOWNLOAD MODE

PRESS POWER BUTTON AND VOLUME DOWN BUTTON TOGETHER, YOU WILL SEE A MENU, PRESS VOLUME UP BUTTON AND CHECK WHAT THE STATUS IS [ IN MY CASE IT IS ]

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME:GT-N8000

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD:No

CURRENT BINARY:Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: official

YOUR STATUS MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE PRODUCT NAME

IF IT THE SAME AS ABOVE,NOW FLASH STOCK RECOVERY VIA ODIN BUT UNCHECK THE AUTO REBOOT.THEN WHEN FLASINGH COMPLETE, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP AND POWER BUTTON TO REBOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE.ONCE IN RECOVERY REBOOT FROM THERE.

NOTE:

YOU MUST HAVE STOCK ROM, STOCK RECOVERY AND STOCK KERNEL

TESTED ON GT-N8000

TROUBLESHOOTING:

THE DEVICE STATUS DOES NOT CHANGE TO OFFICIAL : FLASH STOCK RECOVERY AND TRY AGAIN

IF STILL THE DEVICE STATUS IS CUSTOM OR MODIFIED, CAREFULLY REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE ( 1 TO 6 ) AND CHECK IF IT STILL CUSTOM, FLASH STOCK RECOVERY ONLY AND CHECK STATUS : IF IT IS OFFICIAL IN DOWNLOAD MODE AND SETTINGS THEN NO NEED TO DO A FACTORY RESET

IMPORTANT POINTS:

THE DEVICE CAN CHANGE BACK TO CUSTOM IF YOU CHECK IN SETTING, JUST DO A RESTART OR POWER OFF AND START, IT WILL BE OFFICIAL

SOME APPS THAT ASK FOR ROOT PERMISSION ON START, CAN ALSO TRIGGER THE STATUS TO CHANGE : YOU CAN DISABLE IT OR UNINSTALL IT

I HAVE TESTED THE ABOVE METHOD BY MYSELF AND IT WORKS ALSO I HAVE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS TO PROVE THAT I HAVE ROOT AND ALL THE STATUSES OFFICIAL

FIRST TESTED ON ICE CREAM SANDWICH WITH ROOT WORKED, THEN UPDATED VIA OTA TO JELLY BEAN AND IT WORKS

WITH THIS METHOD YOU WILL NOT LOSE ROOT ACCESS AND CAN BE TESTED ON ANY SAMSUNG PHONES FOR SIMILAR CASE

I had the same experience and ended up flashing back to Factory.

So now I'm experiencing my Note 10.1 they way Samsung wanted me to ( LOL :) )

this will now help others who dont like seeing custom or modified status in setting and keep receiving OTA updates from samsung

where did you get v2 26

Found it. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lazer155:
Why is step 6 necessary if it is already back to saying official? (I'm new to dealing with samsung's flash counter so I apologize if the answer is obvious)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
yes it is neccesary because in download mode it may show SYSTEM STATUS : OFFICIAL but it does not show in settings > about device > status> device status

it will be still modified or custom there so factory reset needs to be done
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
I did the same thing but stayed rooted with the "Official" Device Status in About settings using mobile ODIN Pro.

Triangle away 1st, I used the latest, 2.88 I believe.

From a rooted device with mobile ODIN Pro installed I factory reset the Note 1st in settings, then using mobile ODIN flashed a stock rom onto the device ticking clear cache/data and clear dalvik cache.

After reset and setup, I'm still rooted with Mobile ODIN Pro & Supersu installed and have 0 counter, Official rom status in download mode on both parts and my About status in settings says official... This took about as long as it takes to flash the stock rom....

2nd picture, 3rd app from the right is SuperSU Pro...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
but with my method u dont need to flash stock rom [ correct me if i am wrong ]
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
You still need to go back to a stock rom. Any custom R0Ms won't do as they use custom recoveries. Besides, I haven't seen many Custom ROM's that Can be flashed by ODIN.

And as soon as you root your tab you increase the flash counter.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JJEgan:
Thats 100% correct .

TA + Stock Rom + Factory Reset is my preferred method to clear the three custom firmware indicators .

jje
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lazer155:
As of now I am rooted, have a custom firmware and high on android recovery. I want to stay rooted but remove all 3 of the custom status warnings. If I just follow this guide, will I stay rooted? I know I will have to remove my custom rom but I don't mind so it isn't a problem. Based on what ultramag69's post it sounds like I will be able to remain rooted using the guide in the OP.

It's unrelated to what I want to do now (since I want to keep root) but how is this different from unrooting. The steps seem the same. I'm confused about how/if you keep root with this method and how you would go about unrooting in the event of needing to send the tablet in for repairs to samsung.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
let me make it clear , THIS GUIDE IS FOR STOCK ROM, STOCK RECOVERY, AND STOCK KERNEL,,,,,,,,

AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY DO YOU EVEN WANT TO RESET THE FLASH COUNTER WHEN U ARE USING A CUSTOM ROM ????
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
with this guide u will still have root access
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
Because you can't use the Allshare cast hub if you have a custom status in the bootloader section and a raised count.

This has been raised before....

You may want to alter the name of the thread to say for stock roms as this may come up again.

With the method I put forward you will loose your custom rom but you will retain a stock rooted rom with all statuses as "Official" and "0" flash counter. Afterwards you may be able to flash a custom rom but I believe the system status will go back to "Custom" as custom roms install custom recoveries and play around with system files that get scanned after initial boot...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JJEgan:
Likewise the thread says how to reset and does not say how to reset stock rom only .

jje
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
are you saying the official status in the following:

1) settings

2)odin mode .. SYSTEM STATUS

3) odin mode .. CURRENT BIN
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lazer155:
Yes. Those are the 3 areas that change.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:

i can show u the screen shots if needed
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ordeniz:
This method doesn't work on GT-N8005 devices since triangle away doesn't support GT-N8005.:crying:

And I want this method to work just for the allsharecast thing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tehriddler:
I couldn't get the counter to be less than 1 in the past. Flash stock ROM, do this process 4 -5 times and factory reset will do the trick? Does the stock ROM's country matter?

Which rooting method do we have to use after this to retain the official status?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
Simple and improved the post thanks to me
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jaspreet.master7:
in general section now
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ykkfive:
hi guys,

rooted not necessarily means “custom” or increased counter. u can still with stock status, and 0 count even if rooted.

ppl usually think rooted roms result in custom status but rather, it should be the processes or applications executed as root detected. that is to say, if no root process is detected then the status will remain normal. so it all depends on how u root your phone and how u run a process with root privileges

custom status is the result of non stock rom or recovery being flashed, while the counter just shows u the number of times you flashed anon sstock rom and recovery
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
It is also affected when you run mods, non official kernels and play around with the framework files....

Have 2 tabs. Both have official status in Bootloader with no increase in counter BUT with one I flashed, using Mobile ODIN, a mod to change the bootscreen logo. It is "custom" status in settings while other tablet I left alone is "official". Both are rooted and have SupeSU installed but use the stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xuanphucn:
how can u have root after factory reset?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Harrowed:
Best bet is restoring everything back to Factory Defaults which can be done easily as follows, not bringing up backing up etc first because you should already have done that.

Get a hold of the Kies Firmware for your model, google's your friend, in MD5 Odin flashable format, and flash it.

Do all the OTA Updates you can before getting Root back.

Once it's gone through it's initial phase and and asking language shut it down and go back to Download Mode and use CF-Auto-Root for your model, mine was an GT-I8013, you can grab it from http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/.

It'll go through it's process and install SU binaries and then reverted back to Stock Recovery, go into Playstore and grab Triangle Away, install and activate it.

If you checked the Status in Download mode you'll notice it's reverted back to Custom because it can detect the SU binaries...

Go back into Triangle Away and enable the option System modified workaround.

What this would do is disable SU for a few mins after boot and if you checked Status via Settings you'll notice it's reverted back to Stock and you can get OTA updates.

One thing to note, you HAVE to disable the Modified workaround for any OTA updates...

So you'll have Stock Firmware, with Root and OTA Updates.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
If the tab has been rooted, it's like when you factory reset with a custom rom, the rom doesn't revert back to the official stock rom, it just clears out all your data and formats the system. You will retain root and the system seems to reset the "custom" indication in the tablet.

I copied all my internal storage onto the PC then after doing the factory reset copied it back.

Any flashing of mods after this will cause the custom indication to come back.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] azerty100:
On my Note 10.1 I have stock ROM, CWM recovery and stock kernel. Have rooted, applied several mods such as ext. power menu etc and have removed/frozen system apps and bloatware.

I can reset the flash counter with TriangleAway, but keep getting the system status as moddified (in android) and custom in ODIN.

Odin mode

Product Name: GT-N8000

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status:

Custom

I'm running an S3 and there's a hack that moddifies the SecSettings.apk file to force the device to show 'Normal' and allow OTA updates.
