[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] osterizerblender:
Download mode (for I7I7MX Devices)

1. Turn off the device.

2. Press Power and Volume down together.

3. When phone vibrates once get off with power button but keep holding the volume down Button untill you see a warning.

4. Then press Volume Up to get in to Download Mode.

Seems like you do not have drivers installed properly.

P.S: You did not mention which variant of Galaxy Note You Have. Members can help yo properly if you mention your model
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tactical Fart:
I know how stupid this question sounds, so hear me out before you tear my post apart.

I found out that if the boot loader becomes unlocked, then there are 4 apps that are deleted (Calculator is one, I don't recall the others). This seems really minor, but he post said that the One would refuse to update from that point forward because of the missing apps, throwing an error that prevents said updates. My fear is that future updates will be a rocky road and want to get some input from the community.

I'm wanting to get the developer edition, mostly because I want to have a phone that isn't tied to my carrier, has 64 Gigs of storage, and not have undeletable bloat-ware. Plus, I might develop for Android later down the road.

Should I get the carrier's phone, or can I put my fears at ease and get the developer edition?

This smells like fart...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong... But I would think without any carrier testing holding it back... Updates would come quicker for the developer edition.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
It isn't called a developer edition for nothing.

1st you'll get it bootloader unlocked by default so no more HTC Dev and no more removal of apps.

2nd it is a developer edition. It should recieve updates far earlier than other variants cause you'll likely recieve beta updates which aren't released yet for you guys to test our the firmware before distributing it officially.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tactical Fart:
Looks like I'm getting the developer edition then. Thanks for the help guys.

When I press I think the contacts key (left top) Im getting the 4 options

to copy to SD card but when I select any of the options using the action key the message is "Card Key Invalid -Press Action to Exit" and I'm not gettting anywhere.

Anyone has any hints how to get the XDA back on line

this would be greatly appreciated.

Somebody did write in the forums about having a card key error with a 256MB card. Try and get your hands on a 64MB card. I did some research on this, and there were a couple of people who posted that they solved this problem for themselves; unfortunately they didn't post how they did it :roll:.

SD Card and XDATools

My SD card is 64Mb and I use 6in 1 reader writer.

Somhow I have a problem with XDAtools to recognise the SD card so I used XDArit 1.o which allowed me to download the patch for bootloader 5.17 to bypass this Key passward and I could download the Bottloader+ROM to the card but when I wanted to modify the files names to reload them back to 02XDA none of the XDA tools would recognise the card. The message was that the SD card is not formated and if I want to format it. So I'm stack again.

Any GOOD ideas out there??

TIA
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
So you got it to recognise to load the bootloader patch, but can't get the O/S written? There's a couple of things I'm not getting here, I've done this procedure quite a few times, including downgrading the bootloader so I don't need to patch it anymore.

The first thing that doesn't make sense to me is

How do you mean modify the filenames? If you're using XDRit, you select "write to SD card", then click the [...] beside the type of write you want to do - O/S, bootloader or diagnostics, and you select the correct header type. You obviously got all that right to load the diagnostics to patch the bootloader. If you've patched the bootloader then when you write the O/S onto the SD card you select the headers option that you did *not* use for the diagnostics patch. The card was recognised in order to write the bootloader, so it will be equally recognised to write an O/S. You would need to elaborate on the type of error here, maybe even make some screenshots. Infact, I'll post some screenshots as a followup to this message.

The second thing that doesn't make sense to me is

If you're trying to load the O/S from the patched bootloader you don't ever get any such message. If you select "Restore SD" from the patched bootloader and the info on the card is not recognised *nothing will happen*. There is no option to format it in the diagnostics. The option to format happens when you reboot your PPC and get into the O/S, it will recognise that the card is not formatted and prompt to do so.

That suggests to me that you are loading the bootloader patch, writing the O/S onto that card, putting it back into the machine and rebooting. That's the only place that message can appear. Once you patch the bootloader, you enter the diagnostics screen with the Action key, you then remove the SD card, write the O/S upgrade onto it using XDRit. Then place the SD card back into the device and select Restore SD. If you selected the correct headers in XDRit it will start writing the ROM, if you did not select the right headers, nothing will happen.

I hope that helps and that I haven't misunderstood, but from the info you have given the messages can only come from certain stages in the bootup lifetime.

Having Programs A&B how to get imiges for SD card to fla

Ebswift,

You are great and I thank you for your time.

In my posting I was not realy clear and you right there.

Even prior to your detailed explanation I did the bootloader 5.15 stuff as you suggested and it worked but the rest I messed up.

My old brain is not working as efficient as yours so somehow I thought that I can recover the bootloader + ROM imiges directly form my XDA, rename them and flash the XDA again. Now I guess it was wrong.

However the question now would be how I can create *.nb0 and nb1 from the 02XDA downloaded programs A&B?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] pdhenry:
Re: Having Programs A&B how to get imiges for SD card to

I believe than an .nbf file is a combined .nb0 and.nb1 file. If you use WinRAR you can locate a .nbf file within the installer .EXE file.

I don't know how to seperate the .nbf file into .nbo and .nb1 (well, I guess you can install the .nbf and then back up the ROM and loader seperately using the bootloader, but that's about an evening to accomplsh). But installing the .nbf file might accomplish the same as installing the two files individually.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rabia:
now i have downgraded my bootloader from 5.17 to 5.15 through the fix in the OSimage tools, still my boot loader menuw doesn't have the restore from SD options, also if i write on my 256 sd card an Nb1 or nbf file to load a new rom it still doen't recoqnize it, as if i still have the 5.17 boot loader, another thing to clarify, when i went to buy an SD card reader/writer, i was told that all reader can write like files into the card (explorer way) others told me the a reader is differant than a reader/writer, which one is more accurate? (i wish someone fix the connection fault in programme A and lets us get rid of all the crappy written & reading
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
The 5.15 bootloader doesn't have a menu as such. If you write the ROM correctly onto the SD card it will prompt you to restore the ROM automatically in the bootloader. Use the older version of XDRit to write the ROM onto the card, you can't just copy via explorer. Ensure you select the header for pre-5.17.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rabia:
so i still need an SD card Reader, os is it writer, or a normal reader will do
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] andywhitt:
Cool, i'm gonna try doing that, but i need to know where to get the bootloader and windowsCE files from.

I have wallaby V5.22, and need to put it all back on as described in this thread:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
Use any device that assigns the SD card its own drive letter and you'll be able to read/write, do whatever you like. I personally used an X-Drive.

Help copying bootloader v5.15 to SD reader

I cannot figure out how to copy the bootloader_v5_15.nb0 to the SD card on my reader in a format that will be recognized by my XDA. All the examples here are will the older XDA tools which I can't find. I have the newest (I think) XDA OS Image tool and I can't seem to figure out how to get it to put the bootloader file on the SD card in the right format. Thanks.

I got it to work with a 256 MB sd card. I couldnt get it to work using XDATools , so next I tried xdarit1.exe (the older version which is available at the yorch website ) . This time when i soft-booted the xda holding down the power button, it went directly to the SD download and from there it was smooth sailing..

So I've been using Cyanogenmod night lies for since the GS3 launched and have never gotten LTE I always thought that coverage hadn't gotten to my area but finally decided to check with a local sprint store and the guy that worked there had the same phone with full 4g. So now I've realized it's something with my phone. I did some research and checked that it might possible be my baseband so as of the moment I'm running MC3 withcCyanogenmod still. But still no 4G. Anyone have any idea what u may be doing wrong? Thanks

Make sure your phone is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo instead of CDMA/EvDo auto in the mobile network settings.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cbazz1378:
So I can pre-order at the actual AT&T store? Not online? Or both? And will pre order get me the phone faster than waiting for the store release? These are the questions I had.... I am on a spread out family share plan where we live in different areas of the country, will it be shipped to the main account holder address, or can I put my own address in for the pre-sale?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RockRatt:
I will be either going into a store to get it once available. I remember when the S2 came out I was able to get it the day after release but quite a few that pre ordered it didn't get it until a week after I got mine (or close to that at least). But I will be going in to check it out in person as soon as the stores have them.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
the preorder page only shows the 16gb model. i hope that's wrong. anyways i called them and they say when the stores open you can preorder. if the 32gb model isn't available ill wait until it launches to buy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GuestK00345:
Why on Earth would you pay $50 for 16 gb of additional space?

16 gb of space is currently going for $15 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU). If you feel the need to spend the $50, then get the 64 gb card for $54.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
because i want the 32gb model. i already have a 64gb sd card. i dont order phones from amazon, ill do it straight from at&t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GTRagnarok:
Because the internal memory is a lot faster and I would prefer to have more of it instead of external memory. The 16GB version has about 9GB usable.

Don't know if it's "a lot faster", but whatever floats your boat.

Just like an internal hard drive is faster than an external on a computer...speed gets bottle necked by adapters and what not...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cbazz1378:
So dig this, I had some questions that I posted towards the beginning of this thread about pre-order and nobody seemed to have any valuable response, so I just happened to be next door to an AT&T corp store just now getting coffe and I popped in and asked... here are my answers from the clerk that talked to her manager.

-Yes, presale begins tomorrow (duh)

-Yes, pricing is $200 and $250

-You can pre-order as soon as your store opens tomorroe (4-16)

-Yo can have it shipped to any address once pre-ordered

Here is the odd part of her responses.....

-As far as how soon I would be getting said S4 if I preorder tomorrow, she initially said it would ship in 3 to 5 working days... I thought GREAT, I am days away from having my new toy in the palm of my sweaty arizona hand...

Then the stab in the gut came, she dissapeared to the back for a moment to confirm this info and spoke to her manager, who coached her that she was wrong to quote me 3 to 5 working days. She proceded to inform me (according to her manager) the phone would ship the day it is released in the store in May.... My heart dropped and I said "May?" and she said "Well we don't know or can't say when it is being released yet..." So I said, "Well why did you say may then?" she said "well, whenever it does come out..." as if she slipped and was not supposed to disclose that...That was the end of the conversation.

I wanted to ask her "well what the hell is the point of pre-order then if It does not even ship until the day it releases in store?" but I didn't have the nerve and I guess I was hoping this was all a bad dream lol.....

So heres to hoping her and her manager were completly wrong or were just trying to be vague....

Hey XDA,

Having a little issue with my phone. Yesterday my phone, out of the blue, shut off while on 3G using Facebook. I was running Franco Kernel r121 with -125UV. No settings had changed in a little while, I had been running -125 for a while. Anyways, it came back on to boot, but never got past the boot logo (glowing nexus symbol). Waited a while before rebooting to see that "Android is upgrading..." and that it is optimizing my apps.

I reflashed r121 on to my phone using fastboot, but its still stuck in boot. Any suggestions before you recommend I wipe and flash stock? I'd like that to be a last resort.

Thanks!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Hold Volume up&home +power until the phone vibrates, then let go of just the power button (continue holding vol up&home).

Once you're in recovery you can flash a different rom, restore a backup, etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Make sure your battery is charged to at least 70%. Once done try entering recovery again by holding down vol up + power + home key at the same time until you see the blue text on the upper left hand corner and then let go. If this doesn't work you should be able to enter download mode with vol down + power + home key. If so I'd recommend flashing back to complete stock using ODIN on your pc and start from scratch.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I think people make it more complicated than it needs to be. Press the power button. When the phone vibrates, release it. Hold home+vol up until you see the recovery booting blue text, then release those.

Holding the power button puts the phone in a boot loop. Something I used to do on occasion until I learned it in fact didn't need to be held at all.
