[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubu_bubu:
I know that on paper the s4 mini has the better specs. I'm hesitant to buy the s4 mini because samsung smartphones tend to lag even with the good specs (i have a s2 right now). Can someone who has used a htc one mini and s4 mini tell me how they compare in real life?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0ftcorn:
I didnt see any difference, apart from touchwiz vs sense, between the s4 mini and the one mini.

But i prefer running cyanogenmod anyway so maybe i just didnt want to see any difference :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkyde:
don't remember all the specs of the htc one mini, but I think it has the better resolution. Anyway I choose the s4 mini because the htc one mini doesn't offer a micro sd slot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
I've never gotten much hands-on time with the one mini so I can't give a good comparison except that the one mini felt sturdier due to its metal frame.

Also, the S4 mini doesn't lag. Especially after installing custom roms :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMax87:
lag? but....wait, you really want to use stock ROM?

install cyanogenmod, it's awesome!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fistpump:
The S4 Mini is higher performance than the S3 (yes, S3, not just S3 Mini). I've never seen it lag, neither on stock nor on CM ROMs. Note that I don't play any demanding games, though.

In synthetic benchmarks, the S4 Mini is also considerably faster than the HTC One Mini. Both phones have the same CPU, but it's clocked about 20% faster in the S4 Mini than in the One Mini. Furthermore, the S4 Mini has 50% more RAM. The S4 Mini has a lower resolution display than the One Mini, which may be a con for you but it certainly helps in providing a super-snappy GUI.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspot72:
Had the same dilema, but at the end went for S4 mini, as it has more advantages (at least for me - removable battery, memocard and easy to manage with Odin).

got a boot loop from trying to restore to stock, i came from cm 10.1 and i backed up cm 10.1 first then tried to restore but it decided to boot loop. it just stays at i897 screen, i am able to get into download mode, (haven't seen if odin recognizes it yet.) but no recovery at least i dont think, might be doing button combos wrong. i have only used odin a few times so i wouldnt know how to get back to stock, any help please?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Get odin KK4 without bootloaders and flash it in download mode. From there, make it sure it boots up and flash korn kernel wih Odin 1.87 (or 1.85). From there, you're free to flash any ROM you want.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
uh what lol? when i rooted it i followed a guide that made me update to stock gingerbread and get gingerbread bootloaders, i flashed korn kernel i think and was able to get root. dont quite know what to do sorry bruh xD

Once ya get back to Stock KK4 (and maybe get Root if u wanna try that again), u probably need to stop there until u read up and get comfortable with the flashing processes etc. before u move on any further. :thumbup:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
You can't restore stock ROM (2.3.x) from CM10.1 (4.2.2). Different Android versions use different partitions. As mentioned in posts above, easiest way to go back to stock is Odin one-click file. No need to flash bootloaders again, so use version without bootloaders. In order to restore your CM10.1 backup you need to flash CM10.1 ROM first (to repartition), then flash same CM10.1 ROM one more time. When installing process is done, go ahead and restore your CM10.1 backup. No need to reboot the phone, nor install gapps. When restoring is complete, reboot the phone. Now you're back to your CM10.1 setup where you started from.

hmm interesting, i thought you were able to go to lower android versions, is this just like this for the cappy only? and soo pretty much alll i do is do what the guy said above me, and use your guide you gave me to root it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You can go lower, just gotta follow certain steps.

As for what you need to do, it was already all provided to you. I suggest you read through it a few times, make sure you fully understand it and then proceed with flashing.

That being said, right more you can do exactly what i told you and flash odin kk4 without bootloaders to have a working phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Hi to everyone who's reading this.

I have got stuck with an Note GT-N7000 from a friend. It was running the original Samsung firmware and never flashed before. Now the device is stuck at the bootscreen.

If I press the Home+VolUp+Power, it just flashes the bootscreen (see IMG_20131006_212031.jpg) then the screen is black again and shortly after that the boot screen shows again. For comparison if I just press power then this short flash doesn't happen. But the same bootscreen is shown.

I have tried to flash PhilZ-cwm6 recovery, but Odin3 stops at "NAND Write Start" no error line or anything (see Odin3.jpg). After an reboot there was that yellow triangle indicating a modification of the firmware. But no change to the problem.

To provide as much info as possible I also attached a photo of the label below the battery (see IMG_20131006_211932.jpg).

The device is older than 2 years now, so there is now warranty.

The behavior is somehow similar to:

Stuck at flashing kernel? Hmmm. Try a different USB cable, front port, kill all kies processes is any, try a different PC.

Friendly word of advice, blank out your imei from the second image.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Ok, I tried the same procedure on my notebook using the cable from my Wonder with the same result. As I'm using the drivers that came with Windows Update, I have no kies installed anyways. I Tried to install the drivers from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. But I think my system isn't using them.

Could that Microsoft provided drivers be the problem?

As the battery only has 3.1 volts with no change over several hours of charging and the phone doesn't enter the download mode anymore with a battery low error. I'll first try to replace it with a new one. Maybe that's that cause after all. I just hope the charging circuits aren't broken.

Thanks, for that advice! Didn't know that the IMEI can be used to blacklist stolen devices (Wikipedia). Someone might do a prank with it. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Don't think the ms drivers work at all for proper connection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Ok, i got the new battery and I've got the windows drivers working. But still with the same result. Any other ideas?

Should i try a different Flash file?

I allready downloaded the an original firmware but i'm afraid to do even more damage, if I don't wipe data and cache. So I wanted to flash the recovery first.

Are there any other steps that i have to do first? Maybe i'm missing something.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Have you installed kies? If not, install that first. It will install all three required drivers. Then go to task manager and kill all process that relates to kies. Then reboot the phone into download mode and flash again. You can also try the firmware you downloaded using original Pit file with repartition.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
I had no keys installed, but I did now. Unfortunately I think the drivers in mentioned before seam to be the same.

Meanwhile I also tried to flash the original firmware and a Gingerbread Firmware form that brick safe install thread. In comparison to the CWM there is no progress on the green bar, just 2 pixel. I thought that I might have not waited long enough, but for that CWM flash the bar was completed for at least 10 minutes.

As I Installed Kies now I saw that option that allows a firmware update through kies. But it doesn't seam to initialize the update, quite similar to the behavior Odin shows.

I don't' like messing around without a way to identify that I have the right set of drivers installed. I tried to find some information about the drivers through the forum search and Google, but so far with no result.

I attached the drivers I use. If you (or someone else) did this before and got a working configuration, would you be so kind and make some screenshots of the drivers you use?

The same game with the the USB-Cable, has someone a correct wiremap, that I could check? (obviously not easy for the mini-USB connector)

By PIT-File you mean the "Pit file for 16GB model" from this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 or just the checkbox Re-Partition? That's really the last thing I want to try now, because I know to less about internal structure of the device. If Re-Partition fails and the downloader (Power+VolDown+Home) is on that partition I might kill the last point I can modify this Note ATM.

Just something more i want to add: Odin doesn't show that blue progress bar. I never used Odin before, but i searched for the process on YouTube and i just guess that Odon mode on the Galaxy Note it should show that bar too.

Meanwhile I also tried to flash a Krenel zImage with heimdall (The Kernel zImage is linked from the recovery CM tells to use in the installation process with heimdall). As Heimdall brings it's own drivers and behaves similar, I would guess, that the drivers at not the problem anyways.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
How did you flash the gb rom? You need to try a rom flash using odin. Yes I mean the 16 gb pit if you have the 16 gb note.

Do you have access to Cwm recovery?

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

Odin 3+ has a blue progress bar and old odin has green. When flashing firmware the download mode on phone also shows a green progress bar which is the indication of write.

When you connect the phone in download mode does your phone screen say "downloading"?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
To flash GB I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1763151 to step 10.

The Phone was stock before it broke. I just hope i didn't confuse you. I tried several aproaches now.

All the roms i tried so far have been single file roms.

The 1st thing i did was trying to flash PhilZ-cwm6 recovery.

Then I replaced the battery, because odin download mode stated the battery is beeing low.

I repated the process with different versions of the drivers provided in this forum and by kies.

After that i tried different Firmware versions.

And finally i tried heimdall because it seams to be a good alternative to Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Yes I am a bit confused. May be not because of your steps but too much to read..

Is recovery mode accessible? As your last post say Cwm recovery flash.

When the phone is in download mode, what's displayed on the screen?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
OK i'll try it short :)

Recovery never was accessible. Download mode ist shown by the screenshot in the 1st post. Only the counter went up to 9.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
There is no download mode screenshot in the first post. Could you post again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
I'm verry sorry, that was my fault. I added it to the 1st post. It's getting late for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Yeah. Just saw it. All looks fine. I cannot find a reason why odin is not flashing even the kernel. If bricked, it's usually in the system partition, then also kernel should be flashed successfully.

Tried changing the use cable?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Yeah, tried 2 cabels and 2 PCs so far...

I will report the result's here when I tried the repartitioning. So have a good day/night and thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSlave:
I'm sorry if this was already covered. If you flash JUST philz with Odin, can you get into recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Yep, that was the 1st thing I was trying. But I cant flash philz or anything else. Thats all the problem.

I'm thankfull for anyone who gives it a try.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Just throwing ideas out and sorry if you're already doing it...

I always run Odin as administrator.

I would personally start from scratch regarding drivers, delete kies and Samsung drivers, then go into device manager and check there aren't any remaining ms drivers. Reboot and reinstall kies, then shut down kies processes.

I always put the Odin folder on root of c.

The symptoms point to driver issues I think, that's where you usually see this kind of behaviour.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
OK, I SuperBricked (no ODIN) it now. For others with the same symptomes, don't use Re-Partition. As I won't try it with JTAG maybe the device goes to eBay. Thanks to everyone and don't worry, it would have been broken anyways.

Maybe if someone is in the same situatuon: Try harder on different cable/drivers/os before using a Pit file.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
How did the pit super brick it?

Did you follow the pit install instructions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Odin just stoped after uploading the Pit file.

I was not following any instructions this time. I just selected the 16GB Pit file and the recovery Kernel in odin.

This divice was sucking up to much of my time anyways and it was not even my own. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So no download mode anymore?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Nope, it just stays black.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Using a wrong pit file will only brick the device because it just tells odin when what needs to go which odi usually gets from the phone. This is just an override.

Odin stuck at "set partition" right? It's still the same. Odin is not able to write to the phone. This also should not be the reason why download mode is not working.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] para756:
Then i don't get why the counter went one up, every time i tried to flash the recovery. At least that counter value must be saved somewhere.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] lichtben:
HI everyone,

first post :-)

There is a Patch for enableing the THB carkit to provide a proper muting of the radio. This patch is really slow. This means that it takes at least 2 sec. to mute the radio. This is no problem while using the phone, but it is while using TomTom Navigator.

Now heres what I hope you can do or already did:

Either maybe someone has a better (faster) patch or maybe it is possible to let the TomTom application somehow never use the tel. mute function so that the build in speaker is used.

Thank sou for your answers...

best,

nobody?

Thank you all anyway....

best.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
So, what is this pacth doing exactly? Where do you got it from?

For which car kit is ths patch?

I`m using a THB Bluetooth Car kit, but without muting radio, so i can not test it or say anything about it...

Stefan
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] lichtben:
Thank you for your reply,

the patch is for the dedicated phone specific cradle wich is available from THB for the MDA compact. The pacth is obviously needed for muting the radio at all. In fact the car kit doesn´t recognise the phone "is in a call" without the patch.

Heres my actual idea:

It seems that only some kinds of audio files are supported for beeing routed to the car kit. E.G. an *.wma doesn´t activate the muting even with the patch. So I´ll try to convert all TomTom5 announcments into *.wma so that they are not routed to the car kit and therewith don´t mute the radio. This is, if it works, an easy and acceptable workaround.

I´ll post wether it worked later.

I´d appreciate anyone having a better or diffrent solution and posting it here.

best,

ben
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] corny749:
Hi Ben,

I'm still waiting for my THB carkit and cradle, so I can't help you at this very moment.

What I wanted to know about this kit: is it possible to play music via the radio??
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] lichtben:
Playing Music

Hi corny749,

you actually are able to listen to music with the carkit. Unfortunately the music is filtered just as a phonecall is by the blackbox. This means that the audio frequencies are not transmitted linear. So the music doesn´t sound very good.

However I hope to here from you in the future. Maybe you´ll find a solution for the patch problem.

best,

ben

All roms have pros and cons, but only the individual user can make those determinations as all users are different.

I feel like the same issue for you is the mounting. I'll edit my main post and add those steps. You have to go to settings>storage>SD card> Unmount SD Card. Then you goto the Aparted app and goto the tools tab to delete everything on your SD card. Then you create the two partitions with the free space
