Hi All,

I'm totally new in android community and I'm just a plain user. no stunt expert. No different with any noob lady who just use the phone for sms, whatsaap, calls and photos.

Lately my galaxy note have been super sluggish! Been notice it's slow since upgraded it to Jelly bean but recently it is really getting onto my nerves!!! when I can't even type correctly on whatsapp.

Can someone please guide me how to thoroughly clean format (reset) my phone and re-install it with latest built?

root or recommend to use the stock built?

Please help...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indian Devil:
Hey jamielkl

I just did a clean install myself yesterday but that wasn't due to sluggishness of JB rather than some other issue. JB have worked wonderfully well for me better than ICS if I can say that. Anyways coming back to topic, this is how I usually do it-

Take backup of your apps/contacts/photos/videos and everything. I do it after Step 2 - as I use Titanium Backup to do that and it requires root access and it's also a way to ensure that the safe kernel is now installed.

Note - Don't go to Stock Recovery and Wipe Anything, it can brick your phone. Please search and read there are plenty of topics warning about this.

1) Download the latest Rom for your region on your computer/laptop, From here Please read the topic carefully and download the one for your region...

Check the md5 checksum (if available). Unzip it and you will get a "*.tar.md5" file. Download odin and keep it in the same folder (not necessary but I do it this way only.

2) Install the appropriate Philz Kernel, From here Don't wipe anything from Stock Recovery Please take time to read the topic carefully as to which kernel should you choose and how to flash.

After flashing the Philz kernel I usually reboot my phone and take backup of my apps via Titanium Backup. If you don't want/need to do this you can go to Step 3.

3) Reboot recovery (Important) and confirm that you now have Philz kernel with CWM recovery instead of the stock one. Now once you have confirmed that you are on a safe kernel follow the procedure below-

Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache

Under mounts and storage - Format System, Format Preload

Under Advanced - Wipe dalvik cache

Then again went to Wipe data and clicked the option "I want to install a New Rom"

4) Power off your phone

5) On your computer/laptop

- If you have Kies Installed, Kill Kies and any process relating to kies running on your system (Use Task Manager to do it)

- Close your Antivirus sotware

- Open Odin as Admin (Download from the link I gave in point one also remember to download the drivers in case you don't have them installed on your system.)

- Click on PDA and then browse to the tar.md5 file and select it. Don't touch anything else at all.

6) Put your phone on download mode by pressing Vol down + Home + Power Button. You will get a message something like "Installing custom rom is dangerous and blah blah, push Vol Up to install custom rom".. Push the Vol Up button, now your phone is in download mode.

7) Connect USB Cable to phone and PC, you will see the tab (On Odin) turning yellow with 0:[Com05] or something like this only.

8) Click on Start and wait

Although I think I have given you all the needed information and also correct information, please read the topic(s) (Dr. Ketan's and Philz) before doing anything as I might be wrong and I take no responsibility for this. Please read a few topics as to how to flash a safe kernel and Rom. I am just trying to help you with the knowledge/information I have.

Good luck :good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo2k:
Hello forums,

I just got the hint I posted my question in the wrong forum. Here again the relevant information:

I pulled my note 2 out of my pocket and there was this "Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7105" logo showing. Since then I tried to reboot the phone but nothing helps.

Then I somewhere read something about "safe boot mode" (volume down + power). Since I tried this the screen gets completely scrambled black and white (like old television with no signal).

I tried several things since yesterday. I am able to get into download mode (vol down + home + power). With odin first I tried to flash the original rom.

The error is "There is no PIT partition". Then I tried to flash the cf-autoroot kernel - no success.

Then I tried to get a communication with the device by using adb console - no success. The device doesn't show up in connected devices list.

Since odin reports a missing (read: corrupted) PIT partition, I need the correct PIT-file for my official rom, right?

This is the ROM i've dl'ed from sammobile: N7105XXDMB2_N7105DTMDMA1_DTM

It _should_ be the version that actually was on my phone. Now I need the correct PIT file for that rom. Any idea where I can get that?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jbigz:
When I was still running stock, I was able to successfully unlock my bootloader, put custom recovery, and root my phone with superSU.

My troubles arose when I tried to flash Android Revolution HD.

When my phone boots, it would just go into bootloader mode. Would not boot past that, no matter what.

Since then, I've tried reverting to stock with RUU (failed), stock ROMs (won't go past HTC screen), Viper (Only have a status bar), and a handful of other ROMs.

I'm successfully sideloading these ROMs and installing them.. but they remain unfunctional. Please help, I've been at it for 3 days.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
Ruu. The latest Android Revolution does nit support Sprint and you probably mucked your partitions all up. Be glad it doesnt completely decimate your phone like every other device wouldve. Ruu and start from scratch. This time READ TO SEE IF YOUR VARIANT IS SUPPORTED.

Hi everyone \(^_^)

Alright so I've rooted two EVOs with s off... 1.50HBOOT

Installed CM 10.1 and everything works great.. All with latest firmware, now my 3rd Evo with s off 1.50 latest firmware like my other two installed cm10.1 now the issue is that I cannot clock it to 1.836 both cpu 0,1.. Apparently it just freezes and reboots... Now I just want to know what's causing the reboot if its running latest firmware and same hboot as my other two.. :confused:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bakerk:
I upgraded my XDAII to version 2.06 (the unofficial "test only" version) and in general, it has worked well. My only problem is with the incoming SMS messages sometime failing to arrive.

When this happens it will always resolve itself by a cold boot and reinstall (although restoring a sprite backup taken whilst phone's functioning OK will not fix it)

I always have to hard reset to get it working again.

I have 2.06.00WWE

ROM date 06/14/04

Radio version 1.14.00

ExtROM version 2.08.100a

Is it possible that it's a flaky radio stack?

I've reflashed this version several times and have found I prefer it's noticeable speed increase.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Radio stack 1.18 maybe. It's making me paranoid now that i'm missing SMS so I am forever sending them to myself to check they work.

Much more of this and i will become obsessive compulsive about it...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] benz:
i did encounter similar problem...i know an sms is coming cos the screen turns on but it never ring and no envelope icon appears. sending out is ok though.

hard reset and restore w sprite backup...same problem.

hard reset again and before restore, send sms to self and it ring. means my backup is also corrupted too.

dunno why.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bakerk:
Are you running the same version as me?

It's a real pain as it will suddenly stop receiving the SMS messages for no reason.

I hope someone has a solution for this.....................

Strange how the backup gets corrupted when I have actually restored a backup on some occasions and the SMS was fine?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] benz:
i'm using 1.18 radio.

at first i thought probably it's the system files so i restore only the personal data ie. calendar, contacts, tasks and the my documents folder.

doesn't work too which leads me to conclude that my backup is corrupted.

screen does turn on meaning it detects an incoming signal but no ring or envelope icon appears after that.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bakerk:
I assume that if you don't use sprite backup and restore all that data by just re-syncing it with the PC fater the hard reset, the fault doesn't occur?

This is the case with mine
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cruisin-thru:
There was a problem with early versions of sprite when restoring backup it would have problems with sms.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bakerk:
Interesting.......

I use sprite 3? would that be it.

I thought that was the most recent
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bakerk:
Sorry you are right... version 2.1.4 is mine and that is the one mentioned on their support page.

Brilliant...you are a star.

Many thanks for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdario:
Hello, I have a BT system in my car (UHP profile, is this correct? Not the SAP one) and what I can do is:

see contact list on car display

make phone calls through car audio system

What I can't do is sending voice commands to the phone, as the car mic is turned off when not in a call (or not sending voice commands to the car system). No functions available for SMS.

A friend of mine was in my same situation, but yesterday told me that passing to a Lumia things changed!

He lost access to contact list, but he now can send voice commands to the phone AND can get the SMS read through car audio!

Do you believe this possible?

Is there anything to enable this on an Android device (a GS2 JB in particular)?

Thank you!

Superb
[General Questions and Answers] Flip956:
Okay so just to clear a few things up.

The bootloader for the merit is already unlocked due to Touch Nav being able to be flashed and replace the Stock Recovery with the update.zip. The bootloader would be the first menu that you "tampered" with in order to flash a permanent recovery that would allow you to use Touch Nav or ClockWorkMod recovery and then install ROMS. In my experience, I haven't ever come across a ROM being "pre-unlocked". This is because the way to unlock most phones is using the IMEI and being that is different in every phone it just can't be done until after the ROM is flashed. Some phones have apps for them like the Galaxy line and others are harder to unlock.

As far as running shell commands, you'll need to do that through ADB or a Terminal App. That's really the manual way of performing tasks on your device like pushing or pulling files with read/write privileges aka SuperUser. So it depends on what all is you want to try to learn to do manually. Like pulling system apps from your phone, replacing boot animations zip files, or what have you. In ADB, if your device is connected and have ADB debugging checked off you can try the command: "Adb devices". Minus the parentheses to check if can run other commands. "Adb help" will show you a quick command paragraph. You should still Google ADB commands or Android Terminal commands to explore further. Since your phone doesn't have a service, I recommend you trying a voip app to make calls through wifi just as neat thing to mess around with. Well that's just a bit of what I've gathered in my short time here in Xda Developers. If you like the challenge of research in the android/Linux world, this is really exciting way to start.

Oh and as far as the Ice scam Sandwich ROM, it is still Gingerbread. It's only themed system ui to look like ICS. There isn't an ICS based rom out for the ZTE Merit. Even SpeedFreak2.0 is Gingerbread. The low system storage issue was greatly addressed in SpeedFreak2.0 by creating an sd-ext3 partition on the micro sd. I had to create that in either TouchNav or ClockWorkMod and format. So backup all your data prior to doing this and installing the New Rom. I now have 4gb free of system storage and the Merit clocking at 864mhz. Pay close attention as I believe you install that ROM by restoring a backup file NOT flashing the. zip.

Now for the unstable kernel, I would recommend you download the 1.0 kernel I mentioned in another thread. The kernel comes in the ROM and it wouldn't run "without a kernel". Again, this would be after installing SpeedFreak2.0 by backup restore using ClockWorkMod that I believe is installed by flashing an update.zip that reboots TouchNav and let's you use a Temporary ClockWorkMod from which to backup(install) SpeedFreak2.0. You extract the SpeedFreak2.0. zip and get the backup file from there. I hope I made sense. I'm up late and I'll come back and check on you. Feel free to PM me if you find yourself lost.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] oOflyeyesOo:
My room mates device has been having some issues, after playing pandora, the device reboots, and starts boot looping. So I try to get into TWRP to reflash.to fix the issues. But when trying to boot into recovery, it just sticks on the TWRP splash screen. So I go into bootloader, and try to flash the recovery.img again. It says it flashes just fine. but still sticks at splash.

So I figured the next step is to run the RUU. I try to oem lock the device as it seems by every tutorial that you need to lock the bootloader again to run a RUU file.

And I get this...

C:\Android-adb>fastboot oem lock

...

FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))

finished. total time: 890.481s

And the bootloader actually froze, and it seemed to give quite a bit of time. I didnt wanna to just run the RUU and cause another brick.

I just wanted to get a few more people to chime in before I continue on.
