I fear i may brick my device or do any other harm since am new to all of this. I want to upgrade to 4.2.2 but there is no update yet available on my N5100 and i wanted to upgrade its version i have a factory unlocked N5100. I was hoping to upgrade without having to root it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] skeeterpro:
I can understand your apprehension. Bad things can and do happen at times. But, in my opinion, rooting/modding adds to the enjoyment of our devices.

Take a look at mskip's all-in-one tool. Pretty simple to use and free. It's here. He does great work. Have used his tools on various devices and had no issues whatsoever.

YMMV of course. :)

Hi have been trying to get tablet mode to work with no luck so far, used xperiacle mode switcher but it didnt work whenever I choose tablet mode it just reeboots but there are no changes, if I choose phablet it says Im already in phablet mode, only thing that worked great is the multiwindow. Using stock rom rooted with cf latest busy box and its deodexed. Any ideaa what could be wrong? Thanks a lot.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Bizack:
Humm. I have not tried that root method. I always stick with cf auto root. Flawless everytime. Get the stock firmware from the op. Get odin the version that is suggested in the stock thread. If you dont know i will look it up. Flash back to stock. Then flash cf-autoroot then you can flash custom recovery and other roms. Just breath and learn and you will be ok...

How about over/down-clocking/volting?

Hi guys,

I was thinking of downclocking and downvolting my Note 8 3G+WiFi. I've been looking for some information about our device and the possibility of doing that but nothing. Why don't we create a guide? I thought we could put in this guide instruction on how-to and information about what the over/down-clocking and volting are, and of course some recommended voltage values.

I could work on that if someone else is interested! :)

Antonio
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Bizack:
Sounds interesting. I don't have the 3G model and I am running a custom rom with a custom kernel so it is pretty stright forward on how to under/over clock the device.

Not sure why you would want to under clock it unless you are having some issues with battery life or not enough frustration being created...

Let me know, they have a good rom over in the android development section.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Alfablos:
Well, actually my main concern is the battery duration during the day: I want to be sure I can get through a whole day even with a heavy usage of cloud, messaging and internet surfing, occasionally reading. Plus I don't think I always need 1.6Ghz to run light apps I use everyday. I don't often play games or stuff like that. The thing is I'm on 3G most of the time, and It drains like the hell.

Anyway, if you're interested, I'm putting all my experiments with clockspeed and voltage in a numbers file (I'm running a Mac, but can convert the file to .xls and translate it, as some parts are in italian) and share It with you and those who are interested as well. As far as I know values may vary from one device to another though, even within the same model.

I can hardly find information about overclocking, so I guess I've been a little aggressive on voltages lowering ( -150mV on low frequencies up to 500Mhz) :D

At the moment I'm using conservative governor, which actually makes my device a little laggy for the first 2-3 second after screen unlocking but then everything goes as fluid as before, and downclock down to 1100Mhz.

Let me know :)

Could anyone give detailed instructions on using cwm?

Hi,

Sorry for the stupid question but How do i use CWM to do a backup?

i got rooted my device 5100 with the simpler method and was trying to get a backup before doing anything else.

I downloaded the recovery.img referenced below and copied it to the sdcard with adb but when i go to adb shell and try to do "su" for doing mount -rw it doesn't work. Just waits some time and returns without any effect.

I also tried fastboot but i could not get my device detected.

If TWRP is easier i could try but reading the forum i got the impression that CWM was working better.

Hope anyone can answer and thanks for your time.

First are you rooted with you bootloader unlocked?

Use CF-AutoRoot

then download this http://d-h.st/maC

and flash that with ODIN

Then you will be able to boot into recovery and flash custom roms and mods...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jmanel:
thanks i already dowloaded but i did not know what to do with the file inside the tar of cwn. i supose i have to use it without extracting the files.

thanks

jose
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Bizack:
If you have used CF-Autoroot then and only then you can put the tar file, just as it is, in the pda or AP section of ODIN and then you can flash it.

It does not sound like you have a good understanding of what is going won with this, I would suggest reading up a little more before you brick your tablet.

Good Luck!

~Bizack
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jmanel:
Hi,

I used CF-Autoroot as explained by Chainfire in another thread. I used the tar with odin and installed the modified recovery and could a backup to sdcard.

boot loop

Thanks to all of the information here, I successfully rooted and flashed sbrissen's ROM... but this morning, I had an app that wouldn't load, so I decided to reboot my tablet. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I have no idea why this has started, but I'm going to try going back to stock. The rom has run with no problems until today. I'd post in sbrissen's thread, but I don't have enough posts yet.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] TheLentilFarmer:
I had a similar problem coming from 4.1.2 to 4.3 (sbrissen's CM 10.2). It worked fine until a reboot and then it got stuck. I'm not an expert so take what I say with a grain of salt, but what worked for me was going back into TWRP, wiping system partition, data, cache and dalvik (data wasn't listed on the original thread, as far as I remember). Once it's pretty much a blank slate, go ahead and flash the ROM and gapps from an external SD card if you have one. You'll have to put them on the external SD using an adapter (in my case, my S3 has a micro-SD slot so I was able to add the files to the card via the phone). It's working great now and I have no problems flashing nightlies. Good luck!

Edit: I also updated TWRP to 2.6.3 before flashing the ROM. Not sure if this made a difference but I figured it couldn't hurt. There's a thread on it in the Note 8.0 forums. Same trick...put it on the external SD and flash from there.

Quick Commands allow in galaxy note 8

Quick Commands allow you to use your S Pen to quickly pull up apps and performs functions on your Note 8. For example, hold down the S pen button and draw a straight line up the screen. A pop-up box will prompt you to enter a Quick Command. This could be a @ to open email, a ? for weather, or many other functions that you can setup. Go to Settings–> S Pen–> Quick Command settings to create more.

Saving Apps data in an unrooted Device

My Galaxy Tab 8.0, GT N5100 is still unrooted. I haven't figured out yet how save the data and settings associated with the Apps. I lost them after a recent update to JB 4.2.2.

It's unfortunate that Mobile Go backs up the Apps but without their associated data. It wasn't obvious to me either that Samsung Kies could do it.

Would be grateful for any suggestions.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Bizack:
You can use Kies Air to back up your data associated with your apps, your apps, pretty much anything on your phone.

I have almost ironed out stock 4.4.2 but may never get it right. The main outstanding issues with 4.4.2 is Hulu and the kernel having a broken governor.

Spen works fine once you calibrate.

Modding permissions to allow SD card writes.

Music playback stutter is corrected by setting governor to ondemand.

Keeping away from wanam tools and a few other XDA tools for SD card and tasking managment keeps the 4.4.2 stable.

If it were not for the governor issue with kk kernel, I would say kk can be almost as good as jb. A bit afraid of lp to justify an update to that to fix kk.

All this means is that your userdata partition got all jacked up. It's restored when you boot into a rom, but of course you can't boot into a rom cause something else must have also went awry. So I suggest you wipe everything and start over. Follow along with me, this will be fun! :P

Boot into fastboot, send fastboot unlock command if your bootloader isn't already unlocked "fastboot oem unlock." Accept on screen. Reboot back into bootloader/fastboot. Issue FASTBOOT ERASE USERDATA, FASTBOOT ERASE RECOVERY, FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE, FASTBOOT ERASE SYSTEM. Then flash TWRP recovery using FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY [NAME OF TWRP GROUPER IMG]. Then adb push your rom and gapps back to your tablet using ADB PUSH [FILE] /SDCARD, then flash your rom and enjoy a fresh clean tablet! :)

[General Questions and Answers] Zin0:
I have a Sprint Galaxy s3. I was on a touchwiz based ROM. I flashed over to a CM. 10.2 ROM. I knew that my internal storage would be wiped so i put all my goods on the external sd card. When I booted up into the CM rom,I went to my file manager. I went to the "Storage" folder and saw a folder called Emulated, as well as the sdcard0 and sdcard1 folders. I noticed that the emulated folder had the "0" folder inside of it. I deleted it, not knowing the tragedy that would happen. Then I noticed the real ExtSdcard was empty. I died when this happened. Why did this happen? I tried downloading a file recovery, Recuva to be exact, but it couldn't recover anything as well as Recover files, Stellar Phoenix and Dumpster, .Are there better file recoveries that anyone can recommend? Am I SOL ? If anything had to be recovered first, it would be my music. I haven't put anything on the ext Sdcard since it would possibly overwrite the data of my precious files. Is there anything else I can do to get them back?:crying:

Edit- I found another recovery tool that worked at least for my music. I'm so glad it worked.
