[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon7204:
Downloaded and attempted to flash the latest (8/30) CM 10.2 nightly on my Captivate SGH-I897. Both times a dead Android showed up in recovery before it rebooted back to the 8/25 nightly which I'm currently running. Downloaded again to see if it was a bad download, but it appears to be a bad zip. Can't post in the development forum, so I'm putting this here. Will also submit a bug report. Didn't see the error message - it flashed by too quickly.

UPDATE: The 8/28 nightly wouldn't flash, either. Tried to flash both from within the CM Updater. So I rebooted into CWM Recovery and flashed from there. The 8/29 nightly flashed with no apparent problems.

So, did the 8/25 nightly break the CM updater? Nightlies downloaded fine, just wouldn't flash.

I recall pawitp stating something about cm updater being broken for a few builds over in the cm 10.2 thread. You may check there for your answer.

I recently checked out App Brain which is as old as day. GiveMeApps has no developer fees, uses paypal and gives developers 100%. GetJar has a global reach and most if not all of their apps are free which is great and they have GetJarGold.

Which other app stores have you used? I even recently came across an "adult" app store (had no idea those existed until this morning!)

I only use the google play store. I used the Amazon one for a while because of the deals they had, but it really wasn't worth it, IMO. So now I just stick with the Play store. If I need to install something they dont' have I just download and install via the APK.

Hi,

I'm new to this site and just bricked my white 16 gb verizon galaxy s3 sch-i535 :crying: I was running touchwiz and decided to run cyanogen 10.2, I had to install a bootchain to unlock the boot. Downloaded RomManager and was using CWM 6.x.x, went to install it, rebooted into recovery and it started going through the system update, it finished and was about to install gapps when the device turned off :confused: and has not been able to turn back on since:mad: my computer won't recognize it, i plug it in and it makes a sound and tries to download the drivers, then it just stops and won't be recgonized. tried booting into recovery/download mode, nothing. I left it and used my old gs3 for about 4 days, tried plugging it into the charger, light turned red for about a minute and I thought I was saved, but then it turned off and nothing. Is this completely dead? Does any one know how to fix this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

That guide will show you how to change your customisation version and download a different region's software to your phone. Just follow the first part of the guide to change the customisation version then use the PCC to update your phone.

Flash your rom of choice, once flashed let sit for 10 minutes, reboot into recovery and flash this. It's not a perfect lock but, it's pretty close. This is the best I can get it to lock on Jedi X17

Thanks for the response! I tried what you suggested but still no luck. I try running the GPS Test app from the play store but it shows yellow and that it doesn't see any satellites.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milimbar:
No idea if it will help but...

I know for 4.3 ROMs the fix for GPS issues was flash a stock ROM and get a solid lock in maps or something, and then immediately boot into recovery from there and flash your ROM. You should be able to get a lock then.

Like I said I do not know if it will help, but thats all I have to offer, good luck.

**Edit**

Check that your back cover is on all the way. Some phones have antennas that connect to the back cover, no Idea if ours does or not but hell.... cant hurt to double check tightness of the cover :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] invisainkm:
I took your advice and flashed back to stock by following these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207. Once back to stock I got perfect GPS signal. Feels good to know it's not a hardware issue! After that I rooted and flashed CleanROM 5 and once again I go back to getting no GPS signal at all.

Basically my phone is stuck on the GT-N7000 Samsung Logo screen.

Would love if somebody could make my day and tell me how I can restore my phone with it's pictures.

I know this is not as simple as it sounds but I have read a thread that explains something about non-wiping ROMs / upgrade ROMs? Is this true?

Notes:

I have a stock ROM (I bought the phone via Amazon Germany though).

Never tried to place another ROM onto phone.

I cannot go into recovery mode.

I am able to go into download mode.

I have heard of this ODIN but not familiar.

501 pages to the thread :eek: don't suppose you know anything about upgrade ROM's?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
If you do not want to listen and do not want to read yourself (at least the first few posts with the tutorials) then why do you cry for help?

And answer in such an idiotic behavior?

Don't you think that it is this way of ignorance that is resulted in your "bricked" device?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makkand:
Are you kidding me!? You're honestly a senior member? Calling my response idiotic is probably a little ironic. Let me explain why...

Firstly, I'm not going to waste too much of my time replying to you but my concern was that during the 501 pages of the thread something may changed from the start, I can't be sure how accurate the first posts are, which I feel is a valid point 1.

As for the bricked device, the phone became bricked itself due to no fault of my own, other people have experienced the same thing, I have avoided popping ROM's onto the phone to avoid voiding my warranty, I did not tamper with anything, this is valid point 2.

If you have nothing positive to contribute to this thread please refrain from adding any further comments, or take a chill pill and use a little empathy senior member.

I should also add that:

- I eeked at the 501 pages - I was not being condescending.

- I believe that there is a difference between ROM's that completely flash the whole memory and upgrade ROM's that will retain, hence why I asked the question, about 'upgrade' ROM's.

If you want to pull the pictures from the phone internal memory you can use a pc program called adb.exe, but you need to be in download mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSlave:
Except he is right. This has been discussed. You're method is to read that thread. This is a website (or at least is supposed to be) for users that are willing to read the guides people have slaved to create

Everything you need to know is there.

And absent hardware failure, a phone doesn't brick itself.

Read dr.ketan thread on how to flash a stock ROM via PC Odin from download mode. The guide is current. This is the only answer you will receive here.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
The expert on adb.exe is a user nemed studacris. I think it would be ok to PM him and get the specifics of the command.

Roughly, connect the phone to the pc in download mode, open a command window, navigate to your adb directory, type adb device to confirm the connection, then type adb pull \directory name\all files /directory on pc and the files will transfer from the internal phone memory to your pc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makkand:
When you come across a 501 page thread and say the answer is there and current for people who are willing to read there is a bit of a problem here.

I was hoping a tech Guru on here who is familiar with my problem could help summarise key points relevant to my problem.

I am willing to concede after some of you have eluded to much of the information is in the first few pages. Thank you.

As for bricking - there has been corruption of what seems to be the firmware, which not is of the question, what point are you making? If you read a few other threads, others have experienced similar issues with attempting to update their ROM's.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSlave:
Hey man. All you need to do is read the first post of dr.ketan's thread. Good luck. If flashing a stock ROM via PC Odin doesn't work, per the isnstructions on that thread, I will personally be more than glad to help. But that IS your first step.

There is nothing to summarize. Follow the procedure in that thread OP. You don't have to read ANY of the thread except the guide. If it doesn't help you get up and running, feel free to PM me or post here. But when someone tells you to read a thread you must realize they are probably referring to the Original Post. If you are told to search (xda users rule #1), then that is a different story. For example, if you said 'how do I Use an OTG cable', I would say 'search this thread for the keyword otg'. Nevertheless, that is not the case here. There is a specific guide in the OP of that thread that describes what your first step to fix your device should be. Once that has been exhausted, please feel free to ask for further guidance.

Take care and good luck.

Hello,

I just had the problem with my Nexus where it displays the red led.

Once I first saw it flashing I unplugged the charger then plugged back in, The nothing would appear no charging icon or red light.

How I fixed it,

I left it plugged in for 20min then unplugged the charger, then hold down the power button for a good 20secs then plug cable in.

When i did this the red light appeared for about 1 min the it went to the charging screen, Once fully charged I turned on and its sweet.

Hello community,

I have installed on my Droid DNA CM10.2, without problems.

UNLOCK

S-OFF

Root

But unfortunately, I have seen that works only one of the four cores!

After a long search I found a CPU Editor for DualCores and Beta QuadCore. But unfortunately this does not at all - the version for DualCore works fine.

Has anyone similar experiences or can someone give me a tipp?

It is this mod: "CPU Editor QC Beta 1" from Smokin1337
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It shouldn't need all four cores on unless you're running something that's cpu intensive. Normally it's set to use one core and as workload ramps up the other cores come online.

I run AnTuTu Benchmark and switch to CPU-Z = one core at 1512 MHz overall 25% Load!

CPU Benchmark the same result, one core and the rest ist "stopped".

Any idea?

What's were your scores?

It seems to be a stock kernel problem, try running crpalmers kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] knie:
AnTuTu score (without CPU Editor) 11247 and with DualCore Fix 13978
