[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nastys:
I had to flash this SBF:

DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTIT008.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTIT_P018_A020_M002_Service1FF

and my phone finally booted again after the power off while flashing CM10.1 :)

Now I want to root it and flash CM10.1 again. The first time I had BL6 so it rooted without problems, but of course SuperOneClick didn't work for BL7.

Links in this rooting guide are broken and I can't go back to BL6 so I'm stuck with no root :(

Is it possible to root my phone again?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Yes, you can definitely:D! Follow this link - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889325 :)

It is really really hard to brick our phone thanks to the locked bootloader.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nastys:
Do I have to flash the ROM in step 4 even if I have DFP-231?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
If you have 231 its not required. But I did it just to be safe.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nastys:
Wrong. After flashing the rooted SBF the bootloader got the error "Err:A5,69,35,00,27". I solved it reinstalling the italian retail sbf then reading the entire guide :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaJunkay:
Hey everyone!

At the moment, I'm using Nexus S and Nexus 7 combo. Nexus S is getting too old to be on par with new software which lags, and since I have the I9023 version, it has SLCD display and camera wasn't as good even for the time when it came out.

So I was thinking, maybe I should sell both devices and add a bit more money to it, and get Note 2?

So I did the math

I lose:

- bigger N7's screen

- Nexus experience

- multiple devices option (battery saving and stuff)

- good reading experience on N7

I get:

- a single device on which everything is done

- Note experience

- by far a better camera

- Super AMOLED display

So I need your opinion, I hope this isn't getting way too boring for you (these questions), does it pay out, since I'd really like Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
I own both, and I hardly use my Nexus 7 now :) Depends on your usage though, you must already be aware that screen size is significantly smaller - but it's significantly better device in all other respects, and much easier to hold than a tablet obviously. For me, N2 hits the sweet spot. And obviously there's S Pen, which you may or may not use - I do use it a lot for browsing and typing especially.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedohunta:
I just switched from Nexus 7 + Lumia 800 to Note 2. I am very happy with the change. The Nexus was great, I loved it, but I had to carry two devices. Now it is perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzong:
the google experience is very beautifull, but it is too thin, too poor of features and uncared for in my opinion, the only good thing is lightening fast updates.

For the rest I sold the Nexus 7 as soon as I took notes 2 and I decided to buy 10.1 Notes and Notes 2 and now I feel really good xD
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
Get a note 8... best of note 2 in a bigger size. .phone calling included

scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
Note 8 isn't a phone. It's still a tablet with call facility. Obviously if that's what he's looking for then Note 8's the better choice obviously.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaJunkay:
Exactly. But honestly, that is why we have this forum, I can always try some ROM of new Android which is not yet available for Note.

I don't think I'll get Note 8, I can't really carry it around everywhere I go. I'll go for Note 2, already sold my racket I don't use that much, so I need to sell my NS and N7 and that's it.

Question though! Reason I was hesitating was big screen for gaming, and then it hit me - Note does have HDMI output right? So can I fire up say, Asphalt 7 and hook it up to TV, and then just use my phone as a controller?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
If the nexus experience is not that important to you then by all means get the note2. Touchwiz is actually bearable and useful on the mote2. Very optimized hardware, software is pretty good and optimized, battery life can't be beat, screen is friggin' awesome especially movie mode for the accuracy, reception is actually pretty dang awesome for a Samsung phone, it is easier to hold than a 7" tablet, the interchangeable battery and expandable storage etc etc...

Yes, there is video out through mhl. I highly recommend getting the official OEM accessories to do it, and there are different methods of getting it like the smart dock, adapters or straight mhl to HDMI cable. I haven't tried games yet, but you might want to consider the input lag that might or might not be there. Video though looks great.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Good to see I'm not the only one with N7 and SGNII :) I have both devices and don't carry my N7 as much as I used to, but I love it and use it at home, since it's much more convenient, bigger screen, etc. Note II is BIG, but not as big as N7 :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
I had an n7 too, but no longer. The screen is bigger, but I found that the superior display quality of the note 2 factors in in the reading experience. An even better example is my Transformer Pad, which has such an abysmal display compared to the note 2, that I almost read better on my phone in spite of it being a fourth of the screen size.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
I would better have note 10.1 with note 2, experience of both tablets and phablets world :)

2.-Install SU and some utilities...

3.-Unbrand the phone: erasing bootanimation and vodafone apps,

4.-Optimizate: erasing Dalvik cache and others.

5.-And last... i installed "ROM Toolbox" and try to change the icons & theme, but all the apps shutdown and phone too... next my phone don´t start from android logo.

Thats all i do.

But now i have downloaded romdump.zip from other post in this forum, and i believe that i have to create a rom with that... am not sure..

Its Not the OS Issue , because me too using Windows 8.

You uninstall Flashtool using Revo uninstaller pro, if u dont know what it is , its one hell of a software with deletes all the files related to that particular software which we want to uninstall.

Try uninstalling with revo , then install flashtool again.
