[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

Just curious how serious the eMMC bug is, and whether the N7000 is still worth getting??

1) Is the bug only present in ICS Roms, with unsafe kernels?

2) Is the phone safe using any of the GB or JB Roms, assuming it is only ICS thats at fault with the chip?

3) I've heard CWM is also dangerous to use, is there a certain one/version to use? (namely, Philz?)

4) How do you prepare the phone from ROM flash? All other Android devices I use to do Factory Reset Wipe in CWM, followed by wiping System and the Cache section. What can I do now, or cant I do... for fear of bricking?

5) Is this App [GalaxSim Unlock, by spocky] ok to unlock, does it work or can it be dangerous in light of eMMC? Or should I get a carrier unlock?

6) If using this phone normally, normal Apps... Is there a risk to bricking if the App write to write to the internal storage?? (such as saving files/settings) or is only if you attempt to wipe it?

7) Whats the absolute do's and DONT's with this device, like to stay away from....

I'm really keen to buy it, but dont want to end up with a BRICK through a silly mistake....

- sorry for all the questions, just really confused by whats ok and whats not...

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
Emmc brick bug was there in ICS for sure but it is not worth trying on JB as it is no fun to see if the device gets bricked or not.

You can use GB (which has safe kernel) you can do the wipes. ICS and JB there are many custom kernel which are brick bug safe, meaning that it would not brick your phone if you have these kernel (say Philz for example) which also give you CWM and you can do wipes as many times you want without the risk of getting bricked. Philz kernel is available for all the versions.

For how to flash stock rom and list of stock roms use this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

i dont have any idea about unlock, you may wait for someone to respond to that.

when using the phone normally there is no risk of brick.

Dont wipe the device on stock recovery and you are safe, to be safer always use Philz kernel. if you want to claim warranty at any time you can always flash stock rom again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
Own a note for 5 months now and this device is as good as any for the flashing of ROMs and kernels. So this is surely a safe buy. The PhilZ kernel is not particularly what i am fond of as it caused problems for the flashing of certain ROMs as the recovery is CWM based and not CWM recovery. And i do not have any info about the unlock app
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Treacherous_Hawk and Varad297,

Thank you both for your comments and suggestions, all this info I am picking up is very useful for me... As I may of said above, but have certainly said in other places across this board (and other sites). I'm fairly ok/confidant when it comes to Android, and the other Android hardware in my collection. (ZTE Blade, HP Touchpad, and MK802-II) Dont suffer from any kinda serious bug, and are brick free, they will never die... But I must admit, I am a little scared of this eMMC bug in N7000.

So thanks for putting my mind at rest....

If / When I do get this phone (through a mate of a mate), in October when her contract runs out. Will be locked to Vodafone UK, and I am T-Mobile UK, and I believe its currently running on Android 4.1.2 JB Stock.

However I want to flash the P.A.C. Rom to it straight away, as I have this on my ZTE Blade and HP Touchpad and love it... :)

So whats the best way to do it...??

1) Download Philz Recovery (and which version would I need, being that the rom its on is 4.1.2, and the rom I'll be taking it too is 4.2.2)

- I assume I copy this to SD Card, and flash in Stock Recovery, via going to Download Mode

2) What steps would I follow to clear of current rom? What wipes are safe, or are they all safe with Philz? Normally I do Factory Data wipe, and then System and Cache...

- Are these fine under Philz recovery? As from above two comments... First reply says its safe to do so, second reply says its dangerous... Just really scared about this bug, cant believe Sammy released a device like that... :(

3) I assume I flash it in Philz CWM, rather than ODIN? Do I need to re-flash a kernel straight after or is the one in P.A.C. (4.2.2) safe from bug?

4) I think the ROM is pre-rooted, but what should I do in case its not? Use ODIN or is there an easier method?

I assume flashing the above rom, via the above method (Philz CWM) will then result in the Yellow Triangle, and bump the count upto 1? So do I just use Triangle Away to clear and reset this, and this is again safe of bricking???

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illidan Pornrage:
Dude dont panic.

P.A.C. Rom is rooted and does not trigger the emmc bug.

Safe way from stock is as follows:

1.

!DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING ON STOCK!

2.

Get philz kernel for your stock version.

there are packages for flashing with either ODIN which involves connectiong a Computer or with Stock Recovery, which does not involve a computer.

The latter, which is simpler is simply a file on SD you can flash through stock recovery (when off press power+home+volup), it wont even void your warranty.

That provides you with a CWM like recovery from which you can wipe or flash other roms WITHOUT triggering the brickbug.

3.

Get your favourite Rom and flash it through cwm recovery.

BTW: Almost everyone who releases for N7000 puts something in the description that says if the rom is bricksafe.

All newer AOSP/CM based roms should be bricksafe.

Most of the customized Touchwiz Roms are also bricksafe, but watch their thread to be sure.

hjsdfbglsmhjc8we

EDIT:

IMO if you get the Note 1 for free or cheap its well worth getting. If you plan to buy one rather look for the Note 2 because I feel that it is better supported and has better customisation diversity.

Or if I ask myself what my next phone will be... dunno. Maybe a Nexus or Xperia Z or HTC? I cant seem to find the perfectly blended device. Might go with Jolla Sailfish device if it proves usable.

EDIT 2:

I think someone should sticky this as a simple guide for this. Also the existing stickies really need a cleanup to not confuse people with too much information out of differing times.

Does XDA pay moderators? I'd happily clean stickies and test stuff all day. (I'd also assume a neutral persona/state of mind for such activity.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Illidan Pornrage,

Thank you so much for going into great detail of the steps I need to follow, I'm starting to feel more comfortable at doing and using this now... So any ROM that says they are Brick free means there is no way to trigger it?? Not that I have ever done this, maybe when I first got my Android back in 2010 just to see what it was like... If I did Factory Data Reset in P.A.C. Rom it wont trigger the eMMC bug? (not that Im likely to ever use it... just making sure).

And with Philz CWM Recovery, I can use the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then goto other screen and wipe the System partition, and the Cache and Davlik Cache with it all being ok... its 100% safe in Philz Recovery to not brick it??

I am so use to CWM on other devices, I am scared of using the wrong selection on the famous N7000 eMMC brick bug... :( lol

But with the other steps, thank you so much, such a HUGE HELP!!! and I am sure that will put other new (to N7000) users minds at rest...

-- So useful that ya know the above ROM too, as it makes it even easier/safer for me knowing all is gonna be ok with it...

Cant wait to get ROMing now... :) Just gotta wait till October... b*gger!! :( lol

Cheers, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illidan Pornrage:
If I did Factory Data Reset in P.A.C. Rom it wont trigger the eMMC bug? Yes as often as you like. I flash cm nightlies, so I wipe very often.

And my window manager somehow always loses focus of the textbox. So I write half posts and have to edit 346243 times. Sorry.

And with Philz CWM Recovery, I can use the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then goto other screen and wipe the System partition, and the Cache and Davlik Cache with it all being ok... its 100% safe in Philz Recovery to not brick it??

Also yes.

As for 100%. I cant assure you that nothing obscure that only happens 1 in a million times happens. But the menchanism that triggers the great evil bug is removed from philz and the mentioned roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Phewwww..... so this eMMC bug is no big deal then....

Only an issue if you stay on stock firmwares really, esp that of ICS??

Well thats made me feel a whole lot safer and more determined to want to get it. Had my hopes set on getting it, and then when I heard about the eMMC bug, thought is this gonna be a wise purchase or will I be spending the best part of £150 (dont know the final price yet) on a very large and heavy paper weight!! lol

Thanks so much for putting my mind at rest, great help... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Illidan Pornrage,

I've only just seen/noticed your updates to my original questions, thanks for the updates.... :) Re: Why am I going for just the Note 1 rather than the Note 2. Is that someone a know (mate of a mate) will be upgrading her phone (she prolly gonna go back to Apple... boooo) and so hopefully she will be parting with her Note (and cheaply I hope, esp re the bug... a-haaaa)

- and couldnt agree more about tidying up the Stickies, as yes a lot of it is out of date, hence my asking and checking... To which you fully re-assured me of the steps, so think this would be useful to all... :)

Just to add to this, which Philz Kernel would I need??

Phone: Galaxy Note 1 / N7000

Network: Vodafone UK

Current OS: Android 4.1.2 JB Stock

Planned OS to update Too: P.A.C. 22:30 (Android 4.2.2)

So not sure what Kernel I would need from the below link, and if so, can you explain why I need THIS one? What do I need to look for in a kernel?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

Also, can anyone confirm if they have a UK Note 1 on contract (esp Vodafone) as I am hearing the contract ones are unlocked by default. Its only PAYG that are locked down....

thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Illidan Pornrage / Guys,

As per my above post, any idea what Kernel I need based on the above details...??

Today, the developer of an app has announced that his new version of app has been already uploaded to Play Store. However, after near half day, there was still no notification about the update from Play Store. Moreover, I tried to uninstall then reinstall it, it still the old version.

What actually happened to Play Store / developer / my phone?

As i said in the title, how can i go back to v20a( VietNam) from cm10.1. I didn't make a backup before flashing CM
[LG Optimus 4X HD] chrisch91:
You can use kdz flashing tool. But i think there is no way without loosing data.. Apps you can save with titanium backup for example but no system apps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
I read in an article on ppcw.net that the XDAIIi (yes 'i') has so called Itellipad and Intellidial.

Both techniques offer a better useable input manner (as compared to a qwerty stylus keyboard) especially for on-the-road-use: big buttons with the same functioning as keys on a regular mobile phone.

I know there is a tool called 'blimkeys' that has about this functionality, but apparently Microsoft (or O2) has put it into a new device as standard s/w.

Has anyone seen a ROM file that has Intellipad / Intellidial in it?

If so: PLZ post it here!!!

I would like to see if it would be possible to implemetn on a Himalaya.

edit: See my post from 14-12 in which I uploaded the iMate JAM versions
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=13066&highlight=

works on my XDAII and MDAIII in English, it must use default dictionary.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Do you mean you simply installed the cab and then was able to continue using an English language dialer?

That would be great.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:
Not the dialer - haven't seen a cab for that- but the T9 works great!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
I dont get it:

The Intellipad stuff (T9 is just a feature of that) seems to be integrated with the dialer. Fro what I understand now is that IntelliPad and InterlliDialer are two different apps . . .

Is the IntelliPad from T9.cab English or German language?

And how about the IntelliPad/T9 colours (especially the Intellipad specific button-colours), are they T-Mobile pinkish or default/O2 blue?

Could you also post the contents of the following registry branch (I noted the defaults):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\IntelliPad]

"Languages"=dword:00000001

"PopupMenu"=dword:00000001

"DockList"=dword:00000000

"OneSymbol"=dword:00000001

"AddSpace"=dword:00000001

"PlaySound"=dword:00000001

"HelpFile"="IntelliPad-1.0-(German).htm"

"ResourceFile"="IntelliPadRCGerman.dll"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:
There is no dialer, just T9 sip for typing SMS or using in any program. So the Intelidialer must be a separate app.

The colours are T-Mobile default pinkish (yuk) and all the registry settings are as you posted. It must use the default dictionary because although it says that it's German it is suggesting English words.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Thanks, thats what i thought.

Guess we have to wait for Non-T-Mobile versions of the device to come out before we can use a non-pinkish SIP.

From what I read on ppc-welt.info I am quite sure the dialer is in the ExtROM of the Magician too as 'Intellidialer.cab' (original name :wink: )

Now If someone could post that cab!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:
That would be great.

Hey anyone out there get the intellidialer to work on xda2?don't seems to be working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
The dialer seems to identify a Himalaya and thus showing only the 'old' dialer (well, it is a different T-Mobile one, but even more awful than the original)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VW_ELM:
Will the IntelliDialer works on an I-Mate PDA2K?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Have a try!

Maybe it only works on Magician, maybe it just needs WM2003SE (like Blue Angel)

Plz post the results
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VW_ELM:
I didn't work out for me.

The only thing it did on my I-Mate PDA2K was changing the dialskin to that ugly pink T Mobile dialer :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:
Tried Intellidialer on English MDAIII - works fine, but in German, still I can see my contacts and dial with one hand!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
IntelliDialer

With regards to the IntelliDialer does anybody know does the Magician run on WM2003SE?

And if so does WM2003SE integrates with .NET Framework?

I suspect we have to install .NET to get this baby working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Yorch:
yes, the magician runs on WM2003SE, but apparently the program somehow is tied up with the dialer, since I'm running .net framework and It still doesn't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
Oops

You are right and I was wrong Bro.

Went over the CABs and it adds up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Since Intellidialer can de transferred succesfully to other devices based on certain pre-requisites (below one user managed to get it to work on a MDAII onother did not succeed on pda2k) we need to find out WHAT pre-requisites (hopefully its not SE dependent).

Now If both xda-rocks and VW_ELM could publish their config . . .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Intellidialer appears to be reliant on WM2003SE.

It was suggested on ppc-welt.info forums that maybe the cprog.exe version could make the difference.

Hence what we need is:

English Intellidialer.cab

English WM2003SE cprog.exe

(ans still off course an english Intellipad )
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:
The intellidial came from a German T-Mobile ROM and I'm running an English T-Mobile MDAIII and it works fine. I wondered if it also has something to do with the ressellers OS as well as WM2003SE.

What config information do you want from me?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
that was just what i wanted to know.

The issue indeed is with the WM2003SE os.

Could you post me the dialer prog cprog.exe that is on your MDAIII?

Maybe it will work with that one on the MDAII.

Just trying some possibilities out.

Still, I would prefer an english & blue-ish Intellipad (that one does work on MDAII) and an english & blue-ish Intellidialer instead of the german pink-ish T-Mobile versions I have now.

(I use the T-Mobile network, like their service, but dont like their looks)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:
How do you copy the cprog file? - it's a protected os file and wont let me copy it.

You can change the colours of the intelidial - they are just a series of bitmaps in the windows directory.

I agree with you about the T-Mobile colours.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
cant you access the file from ActiveSync File explorer? Maybe changing the properties?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VW_ELM:
How can you change the colours of the intellidialer?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
You need to change the looks of all bitmaps inside the Intellidialer.cab

To clarify: ARE you running the IntelliDialer on your Himalaya or the IntelliPad
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VW_ELM:
edsub,

I'm using intellidialer and the intellipad on my Imate PDA2K. On my Qtek 2020 the dialer wont work.

Where can I find the intellidialer.Cab? And can I modify the bmp using paint on my laptop or... ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=13066&highlight=intellidialer*

Its the german version, but that wont be an issue for you i guess :wink:

You can edit the pictures with any editor you like.

Just keep the names & types the same . . .

BTW:

Can you try to get (&post!) the cprog.exe from the \windows folder?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda-rocks:
I've tried accessing the cprog file using resco and explorer thru activesync - both report protected file that can not be copied.

The intellidial pictures are just ordinary bitmaps that you can edit using any paint package and the colours of the higlights etc are controlled from an ini file called indialer_colour.ini

THANK YOU. I can now start working on getting rid of the T-Mobile colours for Intellipad (so it matches the default WM2003 colour scheme

xda-rocks: cprog.exe cannot be copied as long as it is marked as 'system'. isnt resco capable of changing the properties of a file?

Edit: Just found an old thread where it is stated that ROM files cant be copied like other files. has to do with the ROM 'filesystem' called XIP. Guess we're out of luck then . . .

Could someone who has the Intellidialer running on their WM2003SE device post the registry part for the dialer:

\HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone ?

Maybe we can figure something out from that . . .

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Evgeny:
A question to anybody who got IntelliDialer working - does it search for contacts in languages other than English and German ? If yes what languages are supported ? I mean IntelliDialer, not IntelliPad.

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Effan:
I have it working on my PDA2K, and in my opinion, language should not be a problem, as long as the English/Western character set is used. It definitely will not work for other languages like Arabic / Chinese etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Evgeny:
There is a very similar feature on MS Smartphones like Moto MPx200 (so-called SmartDial). I don`t know about Arabic or Chinese but it supports Russian character set without any customization.

I downloaded and installed both Cab's. I got the Intellidialer working with no problem. However Intellipad , no luck. How can I get Intellipad to work. It shows up in the SIP window but cannot get it to work on an e-mail or message
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Veroi, what type of device are you using? What is the OS version?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] veroi:
Its a PPC 6601-US Sprint CDMA PDA2K equivalent. The dialer is working superb, but for some reason Intellipad shows up in the SIP menu, but does not start or work.I have read that other PDA2K workers got both working well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Intellipad works like a charm on no SE devices as well.

Maybe a re-install?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
I put together a new cab with Intellidialer inside.

Basis: WWE T-Mobile Intellidialer (English language!)

Differences:

- Blue skin (iMate based, so pretty neutral)

- Extra registry settings (copied from PDA2K) hopefully that makes it work on ie Himalaya

- Made it un-installable (its under eDsuBsofT Intellidialer in remove programs)

I Havent tried this one now (no time to mess around tonight), so NO WARRANTY (but hey isnt that different?)

DO feel free to test & dont forget to post remarks.
