The best way would be to use Odin to install the latest version from Sammobile. You will however lose root and have to root again. This way you will also get the latest bootloader and modem.

However, please note that the latest bootloader has knox and any future attempt to root your phone (ways like chainfire auto root) or installing a custom recovery will permanently trigger the knox warranty void and you will (probably) lose your warranty.

If you still want to go ahead, make a backup of your apps and data, and find a tutorial on the Web on how to flash stock Rom using Odin. There are many.

EDIT: after flashing you can try rooting using framaroot or towelroot. These will not trigger knox.

Hello everybody,

I got a Samsung Galaxy Note (I9220) and I want to install the MIUI v5 on it.

I spend more than 6 hours googleing for it everywhere but I didn't succeed.

I don't really know which version of android there is on the phone (stock or curstom ROM).

Is there any kind person who can help me please ? :)

Thank you.

EDIT:

Here are some information about my phone:

Model number:
I9220

Android version:
4.1.9

Kernel version:
3.0.13
SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 23 18:08:18 CST
2013

Build number:
ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1

Custom build version:
I928.B928A77.02.10.J.E-V1.0.1B01Q23

Do you need more information ?

Actually I'm not sure it's an official Samsung Galaxy Note.

Because there is no Samsung logo anywhere. And when the phone boots, it displays a weird logo (blue android mascot) which is not samsung at all.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
looks to me like your roms are here, but i dont see version requirements etc listed,

so it would be at your own risk

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 AM ----------

it is almost positively a driver issue.

you need to find some, new, different, or better drivers to use.

also try changing the usb cable and/or move it to another usb 2.0 port.

also, dont have the phone connected to the pc while changing/updating drivers. plug it in when completed.

if none of the above works, try another pc.

there is no magic fix for this issue. you will need to keep trying different combinations until you eliminate the problem.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

depends on the context in which they use it.

could be, first build, or new android version. (possibly others, depends on what exactly it says)

---------- Post added at 07:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

you can not flash anything to your phone that does not say it is specifically compatible with your phone. specs do not matter, and being a completely different manufacturer is even a bigger no.

you can not flash anything custom from stock recovery, except for some very rare cases, 99.9999% of the time, that is also no.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
You could try Towelroot. It doesn't work with Exynos processors though, and I can't find what type of processor the G355H has other than it's a quad core 1.2GHz. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but won't screw anything up either.

[General Questions and Answers] Badrane:
Thank you for your answer!

Actually that's what I want to install.

So I rooted my phones thanks to srsroot software.

Then I putted the CWM zip and the MIUI rom file on the phone's memory but when I tried to install any of them through my WEIRD system recovery it says:

Error: Invalid OTA package, missing scatter
Update.zip is not correct
Installation aborted.

EDIT:

i.imgur.com/rR9jchx.jpg

This is at how my system recovery looks like. Even the mascot doesn't seem to be in a good shape... ^^'

PS: Am I wrong by posting here ? If so I'm sorry... :'(
[General Questions and Answers] mayank9856:
You have to flash these zips through a custom recovery like CWM or PHILZ. Stock recovery have limitation which are overcome by custom recovery

or try out mobile odin ..

though I am not sure ..

AND REMEMBER... there are very high chances of bricking the phone when you flash rom of one phone into anothe..

If this one is a spare one then go ahead .. and if not then be patient and learn about rom development first and make appropriate changes b4 flashing

hope that helps..

XT 925 or 926?

Hello,

I am completely new to anything like this so I am completely lost and need some help.

Yes, I tried to search but nothing I could use to answer my questions.

A bit of explanation first.

I bought my RAZR HD on eBay advertised as XT925 but I found some confusing things and need some help to clear.

Motorola Device Manager I installed on my PC says it's an XT926.

On the phone System Version says 9.18.94.XT926.Verizon.en.US.

Of course in AP Fastboot it states as LOCKED Status Code: 0 however it supposed to be unlocked.

How can I check what model do I have or more importantly how can I check what 4G frequencies does it work on?

Thank you for your help in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
thats a tough question to answer exactly.

device manager is likely reporting 926 because thats whats flashed to the phone.

9.18.94 is defiantly a 926 build.

unlocking is no issue, just follow the link in my sig and you can fix that right up in no time.

here are the specs, including frequencies.

i think its "possible" to flash 926 software to a 925, but im defiantly not positive, not sure why anyone would want to, and it would not function fully and or correctly like it would with 925 software.

the easiest way to see if you have a 925 or 926 that im aware of is to go here and try and unlock your bootloader before using my post.

this is the official site and uses device id's not software to determine the model etc.

if you have a 925, it will work. if you have a 926, it will say it is not supported, or can not be unlocked using the site.

A110q

My device is micromax A110q canvas 2 plus im currently on jellybean 4.2 how can i upgrade it to 4.4
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
is there an official update for your phone to 4.4? if so, go into settings/about phone/check for updates and it should show there.

if there is no official update, you can only get it by flashing a custom rom to your phone, and that would only be possible if a custom rom is made for your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] mayank9856:
Buddy all I meant was that his phone is not a original note but a clone..

roms developed for phones may work on clones too as they have fairly similar configuration in terms of hardware but in terms of software they are ages behind...

that may cause the phone to go into boot loop or even possibly brick..

And its always good to be prepared than to be sorry..
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i just didnt understand why you were saying that when i grabbed links for the model he specified.

thanks for explaining :)
[General Questions and Answers] OzziJosy:
Hi bweN diorD,

Thank you for your help.

I tried next links from the site you suggested:

DROID RAZR HD (Dev Ed)

RAZR HD UMTS/LTE (AUS link)

RAZR HD UMTS/LTE

All of them gave me the answer as follows:

Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.

So can we announce that my phone is an XT926? Or there any other ways to check?

If yes I have to request a refund and send it back because I need an XT925 which can connect to several 4G frequencies and not just one like XT926. :mad:

Looking for root help for a verizon samsung fascinate with PCB...anyone.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
it is a 926, no doubt.

in your claim all you have to do is state that it says in the settings it is a 926 and take a photo or screen shot to back it up.

also mention, it was advertised as a 925 and unlocked, neither of which is true.

there really isnt much more you should need to say. the screen photo is undeniable.
[General Questions and Answers] drananda:
Hi there,

I need a little help. I'm using S3 for a while, and yesterday an error occurred so my colors inverted, just like negative film strip. I made a backup of my important data and left it on internal memory card and I did factory reset. Problem was solved, but factory reset erased all my data from internal memory. I've done factory reset on my previous phones (S+ and S2), and it never wiped data from internal card.

So, can anyone help me how to retrieve lost data from phone? My phone is not rooted. I've tried with various programs to recover lost data (like Recuva or Wondershare Data Recovery), but since S3 doesn't allow USB mass storage, internal memory card can't be detected (even when I turn on USB debugging).

Then I found Dr. Fone for Android, but trial version doesn't support recovery mode. So, can anyone give me name of some other program or solution :)

A big THX to anyone
[General Questions and Answers] OzziJosy:

[General Questions and Answers] Chicagokyle:
Awesome, yea im not worried about the warranty at this point. The rom I want (dn3) requires 4.3 bootloader or higher. So knox wont interfere with flashing after updating my bootloader?

-Kyle ☆
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Knox won't interfere with flashing. After flashing stock rom, flash your desired custom recovery using Odin, and then flash whatever Rom you wish. You won't even know knox is there.

I have the I9305 and I9505, both with knox bootloaders and both with custom roms.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Chicagokyle:
Ok so I think I messed up just now!

I just updated my bootloader to 4.3 and everything went successfully. I backed up everything BUT I did not factory reset before updating the bootloader. So far everything is working ok but will this cause issues? When my phone booted up it gave me the options as if the phone was new like "swipe right for next menu" like the tips when you first get your phone. but my apps and data are still on my devise so, should I restore to factory rom and do a factory restore then install the bootloader again? or will it be ok seeing that everything is still working fine?

-Kyle ☆
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
You didn't mess up anything :). It's fine. If everything is working fine, don't worry about it. Worst case scenario, if things start acting up, go into recovery and do a factory reset. You don't need to flash again!!

Also, now that you are on the latest bootloader, never try to flash a stock rom with a bootloader without knox. You can't downgrade. But you don't need to.

Cheers

Yea that's a good idea. I can't thank you enough. So I've flashed liquidsmooth 4.4.4 and it runs awesome I love it, but it's only beta and there's a few bugs so I want to give Jedi X2 a try and keep that until liquid is officially released. Do I just restore to factory 4.3 then flash Jedi via cwm recovery just like i did liquid with the .zip?
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Nope. No need.

Go directly to recovery, make a backup (optional but advised), wipe system and data partitions and flash the new Rom. Also clear cache and Dalvik cache and you're done.

You don't need to revert to stock to do that.

[General Questions and Answers] Chicagokyle:
What happens if I already reverted to stock just now :confused:

Can I still do the above instructions by going straight to cwm and flashing. I didn't backup liquid I felt no need.
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Nothing happens. You can still follow the instructions. As long as you have a custom recovery installed, it doesn't matter what Rom you have installed. You can always flash something else. :)

Greetings! I have an FNF iFive Mini 3GS, it's great, however I have noticed that the 2D graphics tend to be laggy, or not smooth as they are on my phone or cube u65gt. I am thinking it is the software and wondering if it is, or if there is a fix anyone knows about. The reason I mention the other two devices is that the u65gt is almost the same tablet just with a bigger screen, my phone is MT6 chipset with an adreno GPU, but both devices run 2D apps smoothly (without jerkiness, choppiness or lag). So again, my question is weather or not it is a software issue with the iFive that causes these effects on the 2D graphics? Or if there is a fix or optimization. I looked at custom firmware but would rather use something like that as a last resort. Thanks ahead.
