Updating right now

I just started updating at 10:28

I downloaded Kies, and the screen wasn't in emergency recovery, so I killed all kies processes and then i put my phone into download mode and started ODIN v1.85 as an administrator and plugged in my phone.

By 10:29 it hit <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

It's 10:45 and it's still on NAND Write Start!! :(

There must be problem with emmc. Use the pit file method to install correctly. Flash the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked. See if it goes successful. Then flash your PDA with re-partition un-ticked and reboot and reset ticked. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwdotcom:
Is there any certain pit file thread that you would point me towards?

I been looking and I found a couple, but they all vary a little and I really really don't want to brick my phone.

Use the pit file from Dr ketans flashing guide

I went to Dr. Ketan's post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and downloaded Q1_20110914_16GB.pit

Right now I'm flashing the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked.

What should I do if it gets stuck at <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!?

It's been at that step for about 7 minutes now, and I just want to know what I should do in case it doesn't move past that. :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwdotcom:
I've been flashing it for about 20 minutes now, using the pit file with only re-partition ticked. It hast't moved past <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

Should i be worried, or does re-partitioning with the pit file take a long time?

Was I supposed to have the PDA file in there too while flashing, or just the pit file? I really hope I didn't f this up...

I don't want a really expensive paper weight :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwdotcom:
DEAD

It was sitting there flashing with the pit file and my friend threw a ball at me and it hit the usb cable and it unplugged my phone from the computer. Then the computer wouldn't recognize my device anymore. I tried to turn my device back into download mode to restart the process but it won't even turn on or show that it is charging when plugged in. :(

I guess this is the end :(

Unless anybody out there is a miracle worker.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tsekh501:
I am going on a vacation on Monday. Since my developer edition has been delayed, I won't be able to get it before I leave town and so I am consider getting one from my local AT&T store.

It seems that the boot loader of the AT&T version is unlockable, what about sim unlock? I still have a year to go for my two years contact with AT&T. So I have to pay them the full price anyway, but the question is will they do the Sim unlocking for me when I buy the phone?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
If you paid full price for the phone you should call AT&T and ask them to unlock the SIM..

As far as I know, they should do it since it's not tied to a contract..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cathy:
I'm not sure of the legal basis for O2 refusing to supply onlock codes (which they have done with me 3 times now, despite others' success), so I have decided to complain to OFCOM.

1) I don't see how they can control what I do with a phone I have bought privately, SIM free on the open market.

2) I have no contract with them, so they cannot bind me to anything. They have tried telling me I can have the unlock code when I have had my PAYG SIM for a year; however, this is nothing to do with the xda. These were two separate transactions. There is no term in my SIM contract relating to a particular phone.

3)the original owner still has a contract with them and is using his SIM in his new phone, thus they are not losing out. Furthermore, by refusing to unlock it they are getting two customers from one contract.

4) It is anti-competitive, as I cannot choose to go to a cheaper network (I want to use T-Mobile for the free voicemail). They could raise their PAYG tariff astronomically, and I would still have to use O2 or my phone would be useless. I am also unable to use a foreign SIM card when abroad, thus am tied in to expensive international calls, with the money going to O2.

5) What would I do if O2 go bust or cease to trade, or fail to get their licence renewed, etc? My phone would be absolutely useless.

Below is the link I have used to register my complaint. If they are inundated with complaints, hoefully they will do something about it.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
I guess I am playing Devil's Advocate, but I have to say that I see there point.

Otherwise, ANYONE could buy an XDA2 for just one example, sell it on at a high profit from the subsidisation cost he/she paid/will pay through the contract term, and make a tidy profit there and then, whilst still selling it to you for less than an unlocked SIM free handset from the likes of eBay.

I appreciate your views, BUT, to the letter of the law, UNTIL the original purchaser fulfills his 12 months, its technically not even HIS to sell to you.

Its a grey area, but to the letter of the law, that's the situation.

We ALL know that in reality it doesn't work that way, and we all sell stuff on before the 12 months is up, knowing that we as the original owner are liable to ensure we see out the 12 months.

BUT, in your case however, you are not talking about a day to day ownership, but arguing a point of law because of the difficult situation you are in.

And as I outlined, this is one of the very reasons why, to the letter of the law, its not even meant to pe permissable to even sell it on to you.

It becomes the property of the original purchaser, only at the point he has satisfied his 12 month term, and only then is he really meant to sell it.

We all know this isn't what happens, but it DOES mean we are not in any position to argue law, if we choose to agree to buying it.

Otherwise, i could buy a £120 XDA2 from onestop, with a contract bringing it to £360 all in, over a year, BUT sell it straight on to you now for £400, unopened, sealed, brand new in effect, sim free, and make a tidy profit of £40, AND spread the rest of my repayments to O2, IF they were to then instantly agree to give you the unlock code.

An unlikely scenario to say the least.

(All this of course aside from the fact that the XDA2 can easily be unlocked using any of the tools on this site - including the latest ROM version I beleive - so I am not sure waht the purpose of the post is Cathy - why not just unlock it like I did, to use it on Orange?)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] manimal666:
im with you Shadamehr. Why bother complaining when its so easy to unlock it anyway. i unlocked mine without problem using the tools available on this website. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cathy:
...However, there have also been posts from people who have used the download tools and have then experienced problems. I have the ROM version that requires the hard reset and using bootloader mode, or whatever it is. I am not a computer expert, and I have forund from experience that tampering with things that are at present working is not a good plan. It is very time consuming, and I don't feel competent to deal with any problems that arise.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W4XY:
I completely agree with your right and demand to get services in such a case. However, for anyone that does not want to go through the unlock process with the bootloader and hard reset (the 'old' method), I advise you to upgrade. As far as I know all major sellers now provide upgrades. These will also upgrade your radio to version 1.10.x, which is a very much improved radio version. Well worth the upgrade. After that upgrade the simple upgrade tool (the 'new' method) works.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
Cathy, I never meant to offend - just to point out the basic premise that on a point of law, you have no legal basis to ask for the unlock code, because to the letter of the law, he had no legal right to even sell you it.

It's a bit hard insisting on an unlock code from the netowrk, for a device that the owner shouldn't even have sold you anyway now is it?

I know we ALL do it QUIETLY, but that doesn't make a whole lot of difference when we need to kick up a fuss and publicise it does it?

But believe me, the Unlock method you refer to, if you have radio stack version 1.05, is REALLY easy enough, and in fact, the LEAST dangerous, in that it isn't actually CHANGING anything unlike the others, as it is only working out what the unlock code is - it doesn't actually unlock it - it only works out the code for you, so it could be argued it's the least intrusive/dangerous.

You then just put another network SIM into the XDA2, so it gives the obvious unathaurised SIM message, and then asks you to enter the unlock code - just exactly the same as if it was supplied by the network.

Failing that, and if you still are unhappy, which I understand, then the new GENUINE, OFFICIAL ROM Upgrade is now available from the O2 UK website.

It's a long process of around an hour all in, but it updates to the latest version whereby you can run a simple unlock tool on the phone to do it all for you.

Hope this is of some use, and if any of us can help more, just ask here...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cathy:
Thank you...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiredup:
ahhh, but...

I would contend that although the owner no longer has the phone and has sold it, he is in fact meeting the subsidation requirement by maintaining his contract.

I would also contend or pose the question that what if you broke the phone (by mistake)?

As long as the contract period is still upheld by the original owner, than the provider has no right to hold the unlock code of the now, transferred phone. That's why there are cancellation fees and long-term contracts.

JS
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruisin-thru:
If a locked phone presents a problem for a potential customer then they should, at the outset, request that the phone be unlocked and that your signing the contract depends on this, the reason, if asked, is that you may have to use a 3rd party sim in another country and you dont wish to carry 2 phones, or see why you should.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
Re: ahhh, but...

Of course there IS mate.

Because under UK law, the network is within the law to with-hold the code to the actual contract holder, never mind the person they re-sold the handset on to. (Save for them charging a 'small' admin fee and supplying you with it IF you pay of the equivalent of the remainder of your contract).

So they are WELL within their rights to do what they are doing.

Let's not forget here, we are talking about heavy subsidisation by the networks towards the original handset.

My XDA2 cost £119. With my contract, that will be still only £360 or even less, all told.

i can't even buy an equivalent Pocket PC itself for that sort of money, never mind something as swanky as an expensive XDA2 that would cost loads more.

This is becuase the network is so heavily subsidising the cost of it.

And yet you expect them just to say "certainly sir/madam, with pleasure" when you ask them for an unlock code part way through your contract?

Er yeah, right.

Put it this way, the day they do, is the day our handsets start costing £400 or even £500 WITH A CONTRACT.

Let's be real folks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] manimal666:
Again, im with u Shadamehr :wink: . The networks have every right to deny you the unlock code as technically it is still their phone until the contract is fully paid as the handset is heavily subsidised. the networks would lose a lot if the phone was unlocked out of the box or they gave the code away before the contract was up. As i said previously, why bother complaining to them when there are tools available on this website for unlocking the phone :) , pre and post update. it is just a waste of time and energy when u can have the code in less time than it would take to get through to them to explain to them why they should giv u the code. im not a phone techy but i followed the instructions on the pre update tool and it worked without problem giving me the code. i put my old Vodafone SIM in and entered the code the tool gave me. it worked without a problem :D . they obviously arent giving you the code Cathy, so cheat like the rest of us :wink: .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiredup:
Re: ahhh, but...

Shadamehr,

Clearly you do not understand. Let's suppose: As you stated, the phone would normally be 360, but since the network subsidize the phone, they sell it for 199. Fair enough. I know I am responsible for a contract term of 1 year. Done.

I have later sold the phone after just 3 months. I am STILL responsible for the one year contract... still paying back their "subsidation!" So, what the BIG deal whether I still own the phone or not--the contract obligations are still being met!... own the phone or not.

Like I said before, WHAT IF I broke the phone? What's the difference, I am still obligated to continue the contract--phone or no phone! AND, they still get their SUBSIDATION!

Geez... and, it's no different in USA!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
Don't be so bloody stupid.

No one ever said it doesn't HAPPEN. Or are you blind?

What I CLEARLY said is that just because it goes on, unspoken, quite regular, doesn't help one little bit when it comes to wanting an unlock code from the network provider within year one.

May I suggest you re-read my post again?

And PLEASE - if you are in the USA, dont make the mistake of assuming that things must automatically be the same.

If you buy a car on H.P. (slightly different, admittedly), then you CANNOT automatically sell that car on in the UK, if you are still paying back the H.P. on it, and to do so can be illegal. That is a simple given fact that most people in the UK know about - so please don't assume for one second that things have to be the same.

If you want to settle this definitively, then feel free to ring OFCOM, and then post your response here for us to share. But I offer you don't need to, as I already posted what the situation is in the UK.

Besides, let me end by saying as LOUD as I can, as you seem to have missed it...

The day that the networks start giving out Unlock codes within the first 12 months, is the day our handsets suddenly cost 100% more money to obtain, even WITH a contract included.

YOU might want that mate...

But us sensible sorts in the rest of the world surely DON'T want to see an average cost increase of at least £100 on an XDA2 for example, just to cover those people who want an unlock code from the start.

There is a method already in existance for getting a phone network free...

It's called BUYING SIM FREE/UNLOCKED. And if you are going to tell me that it costs MUCH MORE to buy it that way, as opposed to on a contract, now why on earth might that be I wonder... now let me think...?

Oh dear me - not because on contract the networks heavily subsidise them by any chance - well there you go - would you look at that!

Sorry for being flippant, but isn't that what I already said in my post, and I now find I am repeating it here...

(And as an EDIT to this post, as I realised it hasn't sufficiently covered your post, let me remind you that one little detail - no matter whether you DO continue to pay your bills in respect of it, as the original owner. UNTIL the subsidisation period is met, even with you still happily paying for a phone you sold, then the networks do not give out the unlock code, and are within their rights under UK law to do so - so your argument has no merit, or productive outcome anyway - it doesn't make a jot of difference to the new owner anyway, until YOU have paid your 12 months - which is also covered in my post).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiredup:
The debate was a discussion of whether network should indeed allow unlock codes to be made available before the contract term--of which I replied.

My comments addressed your arrogant, definitive statements surrounding why carriers do not release unlock codes. That is, and what you believe to be, a dependency between contracts and subsidation. However, my opinion was simply the two are mutually exclusive.

Law is the law. While you might prefer subsidation and being locked into a carrier, others may prefer the contractless freedom--of which, some are available.

In addition, I think your condescending, rude and utterly poor communication skills are of an entirely new thread. I suggest a filter between your brain and keyboard as clearly your intuition to write without consideration is overwhelmingly powerful.

It is simply a discussion.

Best regards,

JS
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiredup:
Mr. Shadamehr,

Please don't patronize me with your comments like, "If you want to flame me or troll me anymore - by all means do so by Email, and keep your incesant ramblings OFF this board." If you review your postings above, it is your posts that "ramble" (i.e. are the longest!)

Last time I checked, freedom of speech is well within the bounds of this board. Your decisive statements, most of which are opinion-driven, are your position only. I'm not sure anyone complained of the cost of the PDA's--if you review the posts, no one actually did. I have plenty of income, so cost isn't an issue for me... so, why would you assume it does?

And, may I say, that this conversation will last as long as it needs to; again, isn't freedom awesome?

All I'm saying is: we agree law is the law. The debate lies in whether it is fair or not (personal opinions); as consumers, we have the ability to persuade the industry.

I'll refrain from the "are you STUPID mate?," "Or did you miss that yet again" statements as they are useless, condescending remarks that provide no value to the debate.

At what point do you believe you're more intelligent than the rest of us?

JS
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
Freedom of speech is indeed a truly wonderful thing.

But YOU were the one that said:

"In addition, I think your condescending, rude and utterly poor communication skills are of an entirely new thread."

Implying this should be kept well off the board, or at least, THIS thread!

But NOW you are saying:

"And, may I say, that this conversation will last as long as it needs to; again, isn't freedom awesome? "

I'm sorry, there's not a lot I or anyone else can do to help you, if you yourself are unsure as to what you want, and change your mind to suit, as and when you feel like it.

This whole thread was about Networks with-holding the Unlock code within the first twelve months.

I have just CHECKED again, and my first post on this topic, was an indication of the current position, based on my OWN issues I had, just like Cathy, and what OFTEL (as it was then), informed me was the law, and the issues around it.

I posted that information here, and as such, was only the messenger for what I am all too aware is unpopular knowledge. Nevertheless, I was nothing more than messenger.

Because that information was not popular reading however, you took it on board to somewhat hold me to blame, or at very least to turn the argument around onto me.

Suit yourself.

I end, after having demonstrated how you blow hot and cold in the same debate (a frightening quality indeed), simply by referring the Learned Gentleman to my last post, where I said:

"The members, ultimately will decide who they feel is right, and who is in the wrong..." (or similar)...

And in that respect nothing has changed.

Now, finally, you DID originally say you wanted this kept off the board, so I implore you to do so now.

But of course, you being you, you later contradicted yourself by then saying you will keep this going as long as you want, so I doubt you will leave it now.

Funny how you change your mind to suit yourself best.

But give the matter thought, because I really can't be bothered. You see:

"I learned a long time ago never to argue overly long with fools. All they ever do is bring you down to THEIR level, and of course once they manage that, they then go on to beat you with their vast experience over you they have in that role..."
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
And in an effort to reach closure, can I make something clear where your WHOLE debate is wrong...?

You say:

"All I'm saying is: we agree law is the law. The debate lies in whether it is fair or not (personal opinions); as consumers, we have the ability to persuade the industry."

Forgive me for completely correcting you...

This is Cathy's post.

And she called it:

"Are O2 acting legally in with-holding the unlock code"

Clear as day, a question on whether the issue was legallly correct or not. Nothing at all, as you seek to save grace by now implying, about the relative morals of it. I can't even see where that aspect creeps in other than your OWN posts.

And my response, pointing out the LEGAL position, was thus therefore a completely correct, and completely appropriate response to her thread.

You are therefore completely incorrect in saying this is a thread about the MORALS of it - it was a CLEAR question on the LEGALITIES of it.

If you wish to have a moral debate about the relative rights or wrongs of the netoworks doing this, then I would be HAPPY to join you in such a debate.

But as this would be a NEW aspect, then I would expect an apology from you (which there is no chance I will get), for you completely having wrongly judged me, by saying this debate was already one about morals.

It isn't - please read Cathy's title again.

My response to her, that you so deride and find worthy of argument, was thus totally appropriate - she asked if O2 were acting LEGALLY (it's in the title).

I replied explaining that they were - from my own experinces with OFTEL.

I trust, and I mean this fairly and not conflictory, that you now realise that I had done noting wrong. This was NOT a debate, as you so keep saying, about the MORALS of it.

That post would be entitled:

"Are O2 acting immorally or unreasonably by with-holding the unlock code"

And in that post, your comments would be far more correct then, and appropriate, and I couldn't fault them half as much.

But, er, this is NOT that thread though.

This is the "Are O2 acting LEGALLY..." one.

Sorry for keep repeating it.
