Thank you

Thank you Thai Dai

I'm more than happy for them to replace the main board but they said I will loose all my data and dont want to try to recover the problem they caused.

So I would like to attempt to perhaps flash the rom again in an attempt to save the data, I'm looking for advice on the correct procedure... The Jb update was done via KIES.

Thank you I appreciate your reply, any easy way to flash the rom? Just download and image go into download mode a flash via odin?

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life_trax:
Arg still no success

I tried re-flashing the original rom using odin. It installs successfully but when it unpacks and reboots it hangs in the same spot (the pulsating Samsung logo) Any ideas?

Many thanks :crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
You made a "dirty" install because the original Rom was a no-wipe Rom.

I think you should install a Kernel from Philz thread. Take the latest for LT4. Install it and reboot into recovery.

Then clean cache/dalvik cache and make a factory reset.

After that you can install any Custom Rom from this recovery you want.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life_trax:
Thank you

Dear ThaiDai

Thank your for your helpful reply, and sorry about the following questions as I'm starting to feel little out of my depth :o

Just checking the procedure as follows:

Step 1: I have downloaded the tar file PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-4.93.6.tar .. I then use ODIN to flash it per normal.. ( I think if I understand it my phone is then rooted)

Step 2: I reboot into recovery , clean the cache partition and do a factory reset ( wont this delete the data i'm try to recover? :confused:)

Step 3: Will this then allow for me to access my files ? or do I then still have to install a new rom?

Step 4: Then I reinstall the stock Samsung rom? and have access to the data?

Again Thanks for your time and patience, much appreciated
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
You need to be a little more clear.

Factory reset will clear app data, but will leave the data in your internal memory card intact.

Which one do you want to save, app data or internal card data?

I don't think we'll be able to save app data although Thai dai is more experienced, he may know of something.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life_trax:
Thank you

Thank you warfareonly for your response

It was the app data NOT the Apps that's important... Particularly SMS,and photos which had contact details on a recent business trip. (i'm just not sure where they are stored by default)

From my understanding is flashing a rom doesn't delete the app data as it's effecting the rom only..

AS opposed to a factory reset which wipes the apps and app data (which I'm trying to avoid)

Many thanks I appreciate your reply
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

That is where SMS are stored. Boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, Mount /data, attach mobile to PC and copy the above file to your PC.

Your pictures will survive the factory reset as they are stored on the memory card directly and not in the /system or /data partition.

P.S. make sure you have Samsung drivers installed.

Later, simply copy back the file to mobile.

P.P.S I'll be offline for 3 hours, any more difficulties, we'll solve later.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
You have an external sd card in the phone ? And a way to read the data off the sd card ? If not,then procure both,I have a roundabout idea.

Follow these steps:

1.)Install Philz kernel & reboot to recovery

2.)Take a backup of the ROM.

3.)Take out the sdcard,mount it on a laptop/PC/whatever and go here G:\clockworkmod\backup (where G is drive letter of your card)

4.)If there are more than one folders over there, open the latest one.

5.)There must be a file called [data.ext4.tar.a] without brackets,of course.Rename it to [data.ext4.tar]

6.)Open up the archive and go here /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

7.)Extract the whole databases folder and keep it somewhere safe.

Now, we have 2 options- Try to install a new ROM and restore the sms OR access the sms on PC.

Luckily, we can do both :cool:

M1)Install new ROM

Install any ROM.I suggest going with SlimBean whenever coming out of a brick.It is only 80mb, therefore light as hell.Don't go with a heavy ROM(~700 MB)

Now paste the databases folder to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/

Reboot to recovery and fix permissions (look around,you'll find the option, I don't remember where it is right now :silly:)

Check if you have your messages back.

M2)View directly on PC

Download SQlite Database browser

Open up the mmssms.db file in the databases folder with it.

Select the browser data tab and choose words_content table from the dropdown list.

There, now you have a list of all the messages you sent.

Don't forget the thanks button ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life_trax:
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!

I now have a copy of the database... however I cant seem to read then the file is large I can see carriers and various types of information but not the sms.

So I will go with installing a new rom.

Is there anything I should do before trying to install the new rom eg wipe cache etc.

THANKS HEAPS!! you answers have been extremely helpful :):):):):):)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Just follow the installation instructions on the ROM page. Also, I will again advise you to use a light ROM. If you want touchwiz, pristine is the lightest ROM I know. If aosp, then try slimbean or asylum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zviki:
Next time you can backup your sms&mms with samsung account. You can backup photos with Dropbox.That's why we have this option on the phone. Pictures are originally (if you didn't changed this in camera settings)stored to internal sd in DCIM folder and it will not be deleted after factory reset (only after "format internal memory" command in settings or in recovery. BTW,pictures&music is not an app data.App data are app settings,games progress&scores,etc...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life_trax:
Almost there!! Thank you!!!. Just a few more steps?

:fingers-crossed:

:fingers-crossed: Okay ...So far so good.. I copied the original rom. Did a factory reset and to my surprise the factory rom booted to stock... (rooted of course) So surprised!! :good::good::):)

However it's the next step I'm a little confused on.. Should I then make a copy of this rom add the necessary telephony files to it... then re-flash it as it then has the missing data and fix permissions or is there something I am missing? (sorry to sound so stupid)

Again THANK YOU!! your answers have been spot on... I appreciate all your time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Sorry, I was preoccupied :silly:

Just follow the m1 method from the eleventh post. Since you already have a working ROM, simply copy the databases folder to where its supposed to be.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
My bionic is bricked. I tried to take the JB update and for some reason bricked my phone. i even tried that RSD Lite to fix it, but it didn't work. If I called Verizon and put in for a replacement, with the way my phone is, ONLY boots to AP Fastboot mode, if I sent it in to Verizon, would they be able to anyway retrieve the type of data I have on my phone? I know they're not allowed to go through personal data and whatnot but I have some very private things on there that I don't want getting into anyone's hands. So basically I'm just wondering if I send it in the way it is, will they be able to determine anything about its old condition, regarding data/applications etc?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
When you tried to RSD Lite did you do the fix where you edit the XML file? That's been a common problem for people trying to FXZ direct to JB
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
no. i wish i did because i could easily fix that and reflash. but I think its more than that. .246 fxz and .22 fxz are both getting stuck at "install-mbmloader-flashing-mbm-bin" >> USB error during reading/writing. but I know its not USB because I was using a factory cable (TBH cable)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] donkilla:
Try that fix where you copy the system.IMG and I think boot.IMG and push with moto. I know this sounds retarded I'll look for the link.

I think that's the post that fixed me. Can you even get to recovery with Power+volup+voldwn ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
If the OTA started to install at all, as opposed to giving you an Error code 7 immediately after rebooting into recovery, then you cannot try flashing the .246 - your bootloader has already been updated.

If it boots to AP fastboot screen then if it says A.78 you know it is the new bootloader. If it says A.72 then it has not been updated yet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deekayy:
The only services that would work with the Note 2 is the GSM prepaid companies. I have read that you can use your Note 2 on T-Mobile's network with the limitation of having the data not functioning. You'll have to tamper with the APN settings to get the data to work, and in order to do that you'll have to root the device. I'm talking behalf of what I've read on these forums.

Everytime I plug in my phone I get this message about hardware ID not recognized. I have to reinstall usb drivers each time this happens..Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I running the synergy rom. Computer is Win7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
it's a Windows issue. Samsung or Microsoft have the wrong drivers on Microsoft's servers.

You can try installing the KIES drivers for windows from Samsung's site. Personally, I just don't install Samsung drivers. Windows will install enough drivers that you can access the phone and SD card. You just won't have access for ADB. Here's a thread I did on it explaining the process: XDA linky

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
However it transfers god awfully slow and if the file is a ccertain size or will say it stopped copying.

For instance when I copy over Isi and cso format files, For the PSP emulator.

Which means I have to take out the SD card inserted into a card reader then put it into my computer then transfer the files and then put it back into my phone which is a nuisance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
I now plug my sd card into a seperate card reader load rom then put card back in phone. Less hastle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I don't doubt what you're saying. If you checked out the thread, it was a limited solution. But for most, it was good enough to move files back and forth fine. May not be the fastest, but it was faster than the plug and plug the USB cord, or uninstall and reinstall the Samssung or other drivers.

I've tried most of what other suggested, install previous samsung drivers while disconnected from the internet, installing KIES drivers through Samsungs site, and so forth. Some worked better, but all eventually failed fairly quickly; I think I got two days with the KIES drivers.

The biggest problem with the solution is the lack of ADB. Being able to use ADB with the GN2 may not be used often by some, but it's a life saver when used.

I have an HTC EVO 4G LTE

s-on

H-boot-1.19

I attempted to factory reset and install a different rom

I uninstalled the stock rom and attempted to install the new one.

I am now stuck in a bootloop.

When I go into TWRP and do the factory reset again, I see

Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me.

I have been trying for 2 days now, reading forms and what not...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
First, you're in the wrong forum. This forum is for the original EVO 4G, not the EVO 4G LTE. You can find the right forum here.

Second, you're S-on, which requires the kernel to be flashed separately from the ROM. Some ROM's include an S-on kernel flasher to make flashing a ROM while S-on easier. Other ROM's require you to flash the kernel using fastboot commands or an app called Flash Image GUI. What ROM are you flashing? It sounds like you did a system wipe in recovery, which would have wiped your OS. Did you bother making a Nandroid backup prior to trying to flash the new ROM?

Check out my guide here. It contains a lot of useful information regarding the different Hboot (bootloader) versions on the EVO LTE, and also has a guide for flashing kernels while S-on. Your best bet is to gain S-off via Dirty Racun or Facepalm ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bgarten:
First of all, Thanks for the response!

I posted this on the overall Q&A and someone moved me to EVO 4G. Sorry for posting on the wrong form, but I am not familiar with this site...

Second of all, all I am attempting to do is to restore my phone by way of TWRP to my stock OS...I just want my phone to boot for now.

In doing so, it will not allow me to even format and displays the message I previously copied.

Do you think I should go ahead and attempt to "facepalm" even though I am getting these errors about not being able to mount my internal / sd card?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Try installing a ROM like MeanBean first. It has a kernel installer for S-on. After you get your phone up and running I would look into getting S-off.

You should PM a mod about getting this thread moved.

Unable to mount '/sdcard'

Okay, so I am still having these issues...

What I have done now is:

I took my sd card out, put it in a friends GS3 and formatted it then put my TWRP file, smw6180_superwipe.zip, and MeanBean-v309-jewel-ltevo.zip

I put it back in and installed the superwipe and it ran optimizing:

data

system

cache

devlog

boot

All of these ran perfectly

When it got to the next step

"Updating partition details...

E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'

E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'

E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'"

was displayed and it stopped...

This same message is displayed when flashing roms

I have been working on this for 3 days now with now success

Ok guys, so i really need your help on this one. I've recently unlocked bootloader (which wiped the device) and rooted my One.
