Did you try a USB JIG to "unbrick" your Note 2?

Hello,

I hope you have it unbricked by now, but I was wondering if you at any point tried a USB Jig to unbrick your Note 2? A friend of mine had a similar, possibly identical message as you listed above, and I was able to unbrick it using a USB JIG, I purchased online for less than $5. Since the Note 2 is fairly new, and there isn't alot of information specifically in regards to "unbricking", I thought I'd share my experience, with other users, since I'm guessing your friends is fixed by now

I found some great information, unbricking guides etc, written by other members. I am extremely grateful for the time and energy they took, compiling all of the information, in an easy to understand format (with lots of screen shots / pictures too :) ) I was on my way to give "thanks" to them, and noticed that you might be bricked and no mention of a USB Jig.

Here's a link to the step by step instructions, I found helpful in regards to the "USB Jig". Although in the example, it was a "hardbrick", and my friends was "softbricked" it worked!

Here's a link that I found very helpful, where you can find the "Let's unbrick your phone - Guide"

Happy Un-Bricking & Remember sometimes a Jig is helpful :)

I have been searching for this issue but still cannot find any solution.

My tab cannot be charged even with the official charger and cable.

After U plugged in the cable, the battery icon appeared with a lightning symbol

However the battery level didn't increase but declined gradually

I have tried to reflash the rom with full wipe several time yet it didn't help

I have also calibrated the battery. It doesn''t help neither.

It results in sometime it works well but sometime does not.

The attached files are from currentwidget and system setting.

(I know that some how currentwidget is not working well with my tab...)

Could anyone suggest the solution to it?

Model:N8000

Rom:Revolution HD V5.1(4.1.2)

P.S.I dont know whether it is related to the rom or my charger/cable/tab so I post it here.

Sounds like a faulty cable can you get another usb cable plug it into the original charger to test.

That will tell you if the cable is at fault.

Thank you JJEgan and hygradeb. I also think the cable is the problem because I cannot have my tablet charged with my portable charger as it used to. I am looking for a stock USB cable in days and report the result to here. Thanks for your advice:good::fingers-crossed:
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lizzord30:
I am really hating this 8.30 update got it rooted 3 times (all 3 times different way.... but could repeat it) but both for some reason or another lost root, and seams to be no reliable way to root 8.30 consistently every time! (if their is one please let me know!!) but I want to get TWRP on so I want to know how to downgrade to 8.14 (I just got fast boot working, their really needs to be a how to on installing drivers correctly, for windows 8)

Would it be posible to make a rom that can be flashed from fastboot that would downgrade to 8.14 and have root pre-installed and OTA update blocked?

Thanks for any help!!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lizzord30:
Ok found it out!! the easiest way was to use First Aide Software Then use option 7. (It doesn't say but it does have root, plus has a version wrong says 8.2.4 once you start it but dont worry its the right one) once its done (will take a while to do as it downloads the image), I then ran option 14 (Dissable OTA Update) then option 18 (Google Play store).

How to install ADB drivers with windows 8

First before you do anything go to Settings, then Change PC Settings, then General, Advanced Startup restart then go advanced options and disable driver signature or something like that. then start restart and it will restart the computer and give you a option menu select the dissable driver signature again. Then once it get up and log in uninstall any drivers you have with the kindle installed, then use the First Aide Software and run option 12 and go thought and accept everything and it should say have working drivers installed!

Hope this can help someone as it was a super pain for me to find it out! Let me know if it helps!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawk600:
Thank you for the info.

I had a 8.13 and lost root yesterday after it auto updated itself, so I am frustrated as you are to the point that I am considering returning it and buy something else.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slimepuppy:
Back the device down to 8.1.x in FirstAide, then run the 'defeat Amazon OTA Update' option.

I did that and my 8.9 didn't get hit with the latest update. It works! :)

Can you be a little more specific? Setting? Where?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lizzord30:
Are you on windows 8? If you are go to the right corner of the screen and a menu should come up then go to settings it shows a little gear. once you click that will have another screen has different things like volume power and what not go to the very bottom and it says change pc settings, then go to General on the left at the top will have Time Settings scroll to the bottom to Advanced startup. then go from there just keep going advanced till disable device driver signature, not doing it now so don't remember exactly how. Then it will restart and you need to click the number to disable device driver signiture and then it will boot up, and you can install the drivers, but remember to remove the drivers you have on first.

Look in laslow.net - search for "disable-driver-signature-enforcement-in-windows-8"

I would post the URL but this forum won't let me.

the bcdedit commands still work in Windows 8, but you may have to change a BIOS setting if you have a Secure Boot enabled BIOS

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] sortner:
After upgrade to 1.60 - after hard reset just before the customizations start to run (you got 3 seconds time) soft reset the device. Make the ExtROM viewable and delete the line "EXEC:\Extended_ROM\TPEnable.exe" from "Config". That´s it - the ROM stays read/write.

Enjoy and have fun...

PS: nice try from T-M*bile to spoil our fun - but too easy to hack!

Strange. TPEnable.exe and TPDisable.exe stand for Touch Panel Enable and Touch Panel Disable. And that's exactly what it does....... then, can someone explain to me what this would have to do with the read-only status of the T-Mobile Extended Rom??????

Hm, where do I find this line. It's neither in my AUTOCONFIG.TXT nor in my CONFIG.TXT of my Australian XDA II version - still, the Extended ROM is read-only...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] itsme:
olivier: making it visible is not the same as un-writeprotecting it.

farnold: I don't think the tpenable/disable has anything to do with the write protect, so it is possible that it is not in your rom. if it is used, you will find it in '\Extended_ROM\config.txt'
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] farnold:
Thanks, mate. I thought the same thing. The question though remains how do I remove the write protection? Is that also a REGISTRY hack or does it require more than that?

Just wondering which rom may be the most stable when it comesto ics and sense
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cryptic3:
As far as sense goes I think rooted stock or mik ROM is the only ones for that as for jb there is lots of ROMs out there I'm currently using official CyanogenMod preview 7 and I love it. Fast smooth stable but I would recommend you just try them all
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
sun_dream ported several ROMs, an ICS with Sense4 and Sense4.1a, as well as an ICS with Sense3.6. I never could get the Sense4 ROMs to work reliably on my phone, especially the headset audio (it is extremely picky about which earplugs it will accept). His ICS 4.0.3 ROM with Sense3.6, however, worked reasonably well for me, has great audio. There are two versions of it, one is based on Sensation 3.3.2, other is 3.3.3. I found the 3.3.2 to be the more stable and fluid with really good battery life. My only issue with it was sometimes data would drop off unexpectedly. It would come back usually on its own, but sometimes you'd have to toggle airplane mode to get it back. An annoyance. Also, there was a Gallery issue with it FC'ing. But, I solved that by ripping Gallery out of another Sense3.6 ROM and pushing it to my phone. You can read about that in the ROM's thread in the Dev forum.

But really, for overall stability and a ROM where everything works like it is supposed to work without having to jiggle and toggle and stand on your head or sacrifice chickens, Miktouch is the one I use every day. I do like the features of ICS and especially those of the new JB ROMs. But, this is my only phone and must work 100% 100% of the time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] josh2020glacier:
Yes I must agree I use mik sense 3.0 cause its most reloable as of right now and everything works. Baytery lofe is not bad for sense also. Dont get me wrong I love cm roms bit need more stability also I hope cm based roms fix the video out.

EDIT: can someone post me links to some customizations for mik 3.0 would be greatly appreciated.

hi!

I need a bit of info from you guys.

I'm trying to mod systemUI from stock JB, ruxuma and I can't find anything clear about the procedure.

as I understand first deodex, mod systemUI, odex back and flash?

I'm not getting the last part, odex back and flash...

do I have to delete systemIU.odex when I flash the mod systemUI?

does the mod systemUi needs to be odexed back to flash it on stock Rom?

thank you!

The first Orange supplied M1000 devices were released at the sale in Denmark by Elgiganten, an electronics superstore, on December 27.

The price for the Orange sim-locked M1000 was 4299 DKR - or about 400 GBP. The Orange contract has a minimum period of 6 months with a DKR 117/GBP 11 monthly charge.

I managed to switch to my Telmore SIM card, giving me a 10 DKR / 1 GBP per MB GPRS plan with no monthly charge.

Orange supplies an extra battery (total of 2) , headset, leather case, cradle and extra stylus in the box.

I am very impressed by the device, due to the 128 MB of memory, I can now load and run Tom Tom 2 with the south Scandinavia map with no problems. I no longer have to switch between Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

ROM Version is 1.52.00WWE

Rom Date 10/23/03

Radion Version 1.05.16

Protocol version 1337.16

So far I have not found any problems apart from the missing radio buttons after running TomTom. The device runs perfectly with my Jabra 200 headset (late version, Nokia 3650 compatible), wakes up when incomming SMS'es are received etc.

While I do not see any reason to upgrade firmware at this pint, I would like to know if there are any improvements in more recent versions.

As I live in Denmark, I am also curious if the original keyboard for this device has Scandinavian characters. I have seen a infrared keyboard that does provide these (for us) important characters.

Hey

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] malkekoen:
....and by the way... Michael, have you enabled GPRS on Telmore? In that case, how???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bodstrup:
GPRS on Telmore

First, naturally, I enabled GPRS using the Telmore website.

Secondly, I used the following settings

Select a name for the connection: TDC GPRS (anything goes)

Select a modem: Celluar Line (GPRS)

Access point name: internet

User name, password, Domain*: all blank

Advanced: No changes/default

That's it.

It works nice and fast. Connects in a few seconds and stays on until a reset or battery removal.

I am using the Spb GPRS Monitor to track utilizaiton.

Regards

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
you can as you most likely know get to the special letters on the onscreen keyboard by pressing å and e umloud key

as for a ir or cable external keyboard i doubt you'll find it if you think about the fact that MS havent nationalized windows CE pocketpc to danish most likely because of the too small market

so a external keyboard supporting a language which pocketpc kinda dont would be an even smaller market

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Larholm:
There should be no problems in upgrading your M1000 phones to later ROM revisions, as long as it's done right, and the operator codes are changed in the ROM image as needed.

However, you should know that Orange in Denmark do not support any other version than their own M1000, as the owner of an Qtek 2020, i can only too well remember the hassle of getting the correct MMS settings ;o)

That said, if you need any assistance in getting your Danish M1000 working with a later ROM, and danish keyboard, just let me know.

Currently running ROM 2.06.00WWE on a Qtek 2020.

Hey guys,

I have a fairly brand new (within the month) rooted GN II. The backlight fails to turn off after sometime for some odd reason. I have the backlight set to 15 seconds and Smart Stay off (aka all software options set to off). If I restart the phone, it seems to temporarily fix the problem until it happens later on somehow. Anybody know what could be causing this? Application?

PS- I havent soft/hard reset it yet.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Some applications will keep the backlight on. Are you leaving a specific app when it happens?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] badboyg200:
Thanks for the reply! Not that I can think of. But wouldnt the phones hardware/software settings override any app? I think the only app I use on it is Skype?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Apps can request the android permission that allows the backlight to stay on constantly, think Navigation, the screen stays on the entire time you're navigating. Watching a movie or video does the same thing. It sounds like an app that has this permission not working properly and keeping the backlight on, but it's hard to tell. This would be why a reboot fixes it, because it would close the app.

You go to root explorer via is file manager

Then go to device>system>app and there delete the Micromax registration.apk

That's it.

For network error download the latest stock ROM 2.0 instead of 1.6

And then both the sims will work

Then 1) install es file explorer from play store

2) open es file explorer and there Press the menu button situated left to home button below the screen

3) click on tools > root explorer> Mount r/w >

4) here set system to Rw instead of ro

Thats it
