Hey Zen, I'am currently sitting at DN3v5.2 with MJ4 BL and NE5 Baseband. I would like to reload the original FW (4.1.1) through Odin. Would i have to reflash the original the BL after running Odin 4.1.1? And also i would like to know if it's safe to rum the PIT re partition in order to get the freshest install?

Apologies for bumping this old thread

I decided to pull out my ol' Note 2 I317 out of the drawer today to try to set it up as a gaming device for my little cousin.

I had DittoNote 3 (not sure which version, I THINK 4.3) installed the last time I put it away. However, it would not boot at all today. Just hung on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen.

I decided to flash the stock MK6 rom in Odin, but to my avail it failed and gave me a PIT-related error.

Now, I cannot seem to flash anything and there is no ROM and no recovery on the phone. If I try to boot into either of them, I get a grey screen with horizontal lines. If I try to re-partition with a PIT file, it just gets stuck on:

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

It just hangs there... Download mode is the only thing that works.

If I try to flash a ROM without the PIT, this is what I get:

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003>

<ID:0/003> There is no PIT partition.

Maybe [MENTION=2918361]dicksteele[/MENTION] can be some assistance to you.

Last time I helped someone with your problem. I told them to flash a Odin file from the Skynote thread. And it helped get their phone working again. You'll have to do a search for that thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Try this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618447

Go all the way back to 4.1.1. Couldnt hurt.This version does not have bootloader. Hopefully it will get back everything. Then you can flash a custom recovery and flash another ROM.

Post #2 has some good stuff also.

Maybe flashing the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM will give it a good kick in the arse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] akaNeel:
Thank you for your help guys, I didn't think I'd get a response.

I tried both solutions but it gave me the same errors regarding the PIT partition I had before. I even tried it with the PIT files but it's the same thing over and over again.

I'm starting to think it's a hardware-related (SDS) problem. At this point it isn't really worth it to pay $65-$80 for a new motherboard.

I can't even try the darn Kies recovery method because AT&T doesn't like putting the serial number on the back of the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Hmmmm... did some searching. Maybe bad cable..... ??

Or is there another PC to try from?

Or try a different port, preferably a back one if you are using one of the fronts...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] akaNeel:
Nope, already tried with 2 other computers and a different cable. I'm convinced it's hardware at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yurais:
this was happening to me once, with any samsung file I wanted to flash via ODIN, and it was a cable problem.

it also happened to me, and it was not cable issue, since I used different cables brand, this time I solved the issue after dismantling the computer mainboard and cleaning the Power Source, and cleaning the mainboard and all mainboard connections and plugs with alcohol.

aftter setting back the coputer, got no problems at all flashing any samsung via ODIN
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] it'sup:
So how exactly how do you do it? You told us what it is, but i am completely a noob to this and i cant fine anything that tells you what it really does with already having errors through odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
I guess what the person is saying that there was no problem with the cable itself and the data was getting corrupted due to a bad connection inside the phone itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbb1robert:
Flashing this method but failing at sboot.bin..has done this several times.

YOU SAVED MY LIFE ! I was having issues after flashing the stock rom that it wouldn't mount /data, /system and /cache That PIT for my I317M saved my phone from the modified partitions I did to make Lineage18 working but not working well because my SIM card was not working.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykresge:
I just noticed this after someone else pointed it out to me. the front-facing 2MP camera will record 1080p video @ 29.5fps, which is fine. The 13MP rear-facing camera shots video at 720p or 1080p at 16.67fps. Any idea why it's doing this? Any fixes? I've checked prior recordings and it's done this at least on Android 4.3 as well as the current KitKat release. I've also factory reset after updates.

Not rooted or running anything custom, just plain stock.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonic23ice:
I've also noticed the same issue on my phone, how is it that the front facing camera records ay a much higer fps rate than the rear facing camera. Any idea on this guys? Thanks.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] aaronpw0621:
So I am sure this has been brought up and discussed. And I know this is a personal taste kind of thing. But Being that we have\had the HTCOne m7_vzw\lvw ... What has your choice or go to ROM been no matter what you have flashed? Your ROM you just keep going back to ? I am curious as a person with ROM Flashing Disorder. I love KitKat and I love some of the features Sense brings. I love the new Google Dialer if it actually works? I cant stand the stock HTC Sense Icons. They are just blah. So as to what I am running now is:

ROM- JoelZ GPE KitKat 4.4.2 Rom

CID- 11111111

HBOOT- 1.55.0000

Radio - 1.12.41.1112_2

OS- 2.10.605.1

What would be your recommended ROM of choice ??? Thank You for any insight
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheAppleAndroidGuy:
Wrong section bud this should be in the general section. To answer your question though for sense I always go back to bonestock for the stability and battery life and for a stock android type experience I've liked the tiktak rom although I hope to try JoelZ rom soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pons:
These kind of threads are frowned upon, for the simple reason that it's my Unofficial OmniROM this just stirs up the fan boys. Just flash and try them all. Just like there's no right way to eat a Reese's, there's no one perfect ROM. Otherwise we'd only have one, instead of dozens.

Hi all

Thanks for viewing my thread

I need help from all experts here

Currently my Iconia is using Honeylicious firmware

I've tried to search most of the thread but not really understand the method to upgrade from Honeylicious (Honeycomb) to Jelly Bean

Can someone teach me proper way to upgrade

I really appeciate any help from u all

Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
[MENTION=1441653]bazsh[/MENTION].....This is only a thought for you to consider. You say you are using Honeylicious which was a specialised ROM designed, developed and published by an Iconia developer who used the name kjy2010. If you are using this ROM it implies that you have installed a specialised "Recovery" such as CWM by ClockWorkyMod or TWRP by TeamWin and that is how you installed Honeylicious onto your Tab. If this is the case the easiest thing to do is search the "Developer" thread until you find a "JB" ROM you would like to use.....download it onto your ext_sd then use your "Recovery" program to flash it to your Tab. My own personal preference is for the JB-4.1.2 ROM by "civato" but to each his own. Don't forget to read the installation instructions regarding what to "wipe" before you flash.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
It's an HC Rom so flashing via recovery won't work until you've installed the patched bootloader. i.e skrilax_cz v8+ ... Doing the wipes is imperative as [MENTION=4131092]metpolds[/MENTION] said.....as is the CPUID.

Guides are in my Sig.
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
Thanks for ur reply

Yes I am using kjy2010 ROM

But he stopped developing new custom ROM for quite some time

After he quit I've tried to search the method to upgrade but it seems quite difficult for me coz im quite noob

Anyway what is the proper method that i can use so that i can install civato's ROM

It's good if u can give me an outline what to

I'll try to read on each thread after that

[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
[MENTION=2985507]dibb_nz[/MENTION]..... Many thanks for bringing up the important point I forgot.....the bootloader!! I have been using skrilax_cz's v8 for so long now that I completely forgot about it.(face/slap)

I've read through the thread to get the CPUID

Which method is the easiest for newbie like me to proceed?

Is AfterOTA is the best method to retrieve my CPUID?

Im using Honeylicious ROM for the moment

What bootloader am I using? Supposedly HC bootloader right?

Can I just flash my tablet without getting CPUID & flash skrilax bootloader?

cpuid displayed on recovery screen or Nandroid backup

No afterOta only for stock Rom

I already read Civato's & Skrilax thread but still confused

I've downloaded Skrilax V9 patched bootloader, CWM update, APX Flash, SBKTest

How do I flash my bootloader?

Using APX Flash or NVMflash?

And it says that it will patch ICS bootloader but am I using HC bootloader currently?

Is it safe to flash on HC bootloader?

OMG...too many jargon words for me :p

Any experts please help
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Use manual nvFlash it's best since yr tab is not booting.

Yes it's ok to flash from HC b/l.

The jargon side is a bit tuff but u just need to do take one step at a time. Don't be in a rush and you'll be fine. If something doesn't seem to be working then STOP. Don't carry on. Or hope it will be ok:). Just come back here and ask.

The sbk test is a good start, if that runs ok then u shouldn't have any probs with the actual b/l flash!!

Good luck!!
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
Thanks for the motivation

I tried to test my CPUID using SBK test but seem it wont run (no cmd command box)

When i tried to connect my iconia there is no problem for the laptop to recognize my tab

I can browse the tablet memory but why is inside A500 manager it says "No A500 connected"?

can somebody help me?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Becoz there are 2 sets of drivers required. One for 'browsing tablet memory' and the apx driver for 'nvflash' to work

This is why the cmd window never popped up with sbk test.

So u have a driver issue to solve.

Which OS is yr pc running, 64bit and win8 are dodgy. Win7 an xp are best.

You won't get any further till u get this sorted.

There's a mini guide for correct driver installation in the first post of the cpuid guide, near the bottom.

Stick with the manual method, it's easier for us to pin your issues.

May pay to check out my root guide too if u want mo're detail than civato's guide. There are no problems you will face that have not been solved here many times over.

As I said b4, take things slowly and one step at a time. We don't want to end up talking u thru how to unbrick!!
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
Will look at ur CPUID guide & find the missing driver 1st

I'll try to do it step by step

Dun want to brick my device :)
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
I already go through your thread regarding CPUID

Under driver headings :

1) APX/Fastboot/Recovery drivers - it leads me to Acer website but have error 404 "page not found"

2) adb_fast.zip

Which one do i need to download?

I downloaded adb_fast.zip & extracted it but how do i use it?
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
I just able to install USB driver

I think my problem ealier is because I dont turn on USB debugging

Now A500 Manager able to recognize my tablet

And I already tested with SBK test & I think I have the correct SBK

From here where should I proceed?

I've 2 ways to patch the bootloader

1 is via APX Flash tool & another one is by doing manually

Which one is the easiest & recommended for me?

Next question is....which bootloader should I choose?

Skrilax_CZ V8 or the latest version V9?

And I dont understand because there are 3 choices with different names

Which one should I choose?

Thanks in advance...really need help
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
if sbk test has given you the cpuid, then use the manual flash method now, just run the v8.bat file and you'll be done.

v8 or v9, doesn't matter. Once you've run the bat file THEN

boot direct to recovery, complete the wipe procedure and then

flash you ics or jb rom (you should have this on your ext sd card now, ready to go)

The v8/9 flash will take 2-3 mins at most.
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
I just open the APX Flash

And then i change the bundle to http://acerhacks.com

There are a lot of bundle inside that

Which v8 should i download?

Public ? TWRP? or Thor?

Which one is the bat file?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
bundle17 cwm1.7.3
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
Thanks friend

Can i just flash using APX Flash to flash the device?

Do u have link for the method to flash manually after downloading the bundle?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Go easy friend:) pictorial in my Sig shows what to do, use that
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
U mean using nvflash? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
You're getting confused.

2 ways of flashing

1. manual method using nvflash v8.bat file or

2. Auto method using apxflash tool.

you are using the apxflash tools manual flash so just keep going. Use apxflash guide in my Sig

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

Lol I just read my post...sorry it wasn't clear was it.

nvflash is a manual method i.e. command line .bat file

apxFlash is an auto tool with a n option to manually choose a bundle to flash...

I probably made it more confusing than it should have been....apologies
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
Finally I get it right

Now im officially using Civato's JB 4.1.2 ROM

Snappier than my former ROM Honeylicious

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] C0419:
For 3 days I've been trying to fix the 'unstable internet connection' on my phone to no avail. Finally I found a fix. This hasn't been listed anywhere I've seen and I've been researching this non-stop for days.

Go to your wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Then check your other devices. The IP address on the phone I was having the problem on was different from every other device in my house.

THE FIX

Choose your wifi network, tap and hold it. Choose modify. Then choose 'show advanced options. Under proxy settings choose manual. Under IP settings coose Static. You'll now be able to manually enter your IP address. As for the proxy host name, proxy port, and bybass proxy for, I just entered something random.

When I restarted my phone for the first time the 'unstable connection' part came back and I had to disconnect and reconnect and it was fine again.

Hope this helps people until we get a fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Does this work if you're on a dynamic IP network? What about if you're switching regularly between open and closed networks? This perhaps resets the WiFi. I've looked at advanced settings before, but this happens with mainly open networks, and I believe that these typically have dynamic IP addresses. The protected network in my home is rarely an issue, but open networks are what give me fits.

No harm in trying, and if it works, that'd be awesome. I'm wondering if done once it fixes all such issues that one encounters, or must be done with every new network.

[MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] has a fix in the works in the form of a kernel, and so far, it's pretty solid. The only issue I've found is that if ya flash anything, you have to reflash the fix. Odd, but does the job.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mybikegoes200:
For this to really work, you'd need to do more than the OP states. ALL basic home routers/access points come setup with DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) which assigns IP addresses from numbers it keeps in a "pool". If you manually force your phone to use an IP (lets say 192.168.1.15) then leave the network (you go on some business trip) - and in the mean time, one of your kids adds some other device, or simply reconnects a device that hadn't been on the network for a while. After a certain period (the "lease" period of the IP), the router will put that IP BACK into the pool of available IPs. And since nearly all routers assign IPs bottom up (lowest to highest), if 15 is the next available number - you're toast. You come home, your phone tries to connect on 192.168.1.15 and gee- sorry - your son's PSP is on that IP.

For this to be a workable long-term solution, you'd have to enable static IPs within the router (a better way to do it anyway - that's how I have my network setup). You would simply go into the router, and tell it which IP to give to a device based on that device's MAC address.

Just figured I'd throw this out there because if an IP collision happens, the 2nd device in will simply get nothing - don't want someone tossing their phone out a window when it suddenly won't connect to a home network.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] StarlitSnowWolf:
Hi, guys! Signed up just to ask this since everyone on here seems helpful. Long story short, my digitizer got damaged, so I replaced it today. First time doing something like that, but I was EXTREMELY careful and followed a repair guide on YouTube to the dot! Phone is currently (or possibly WAS) running CM11, Android 4.4 BEAUTIFULLY! No problems whatsoever before the damage occurred.

Got the piece replaced today, turned the phone on and it started bootlooping :crying: I don't know why it started, so I opened it up again, checked every single connection and they're all good. No damaged ribbon cables, nothing. Still looping....Flashed back to stock ICS with RSD 6.1.5, still looping....Reflashed CM11, still doin' it.

I cannot for the life of my figure out what's going on. I have CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 on it right now and got an error log to show on the screen. Here's what it says, word for word:

CWM Based Recovery v6.0.1.2

ro.hardware=gcom

ro.revision=33456

ro.emmc=1

ini.svc.recovery=running

service.adb.root=1

init.svc.adbd=running

i: Checking for extendedcommand...

i: Skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found...

i: Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia

i: Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/black/mmcblk1p1

i: Can't format unknown volume: /emmc

So, that's everything it says on the screen in the exact order, spacing and lettering. Does any of this mean anything to anybody? I don't know what to make of it....I'm not real into this kinda thing, other then being able to know how to flash new ROMS and root my phone. I would reflash the stock firmware, try and relock the bootloader and send it in for repair, but I know they'll know I was into it. If someone could PLEASE help me, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!

When your phone is "bootlooping" see if the computer can "see" the phone - adb devices typically.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] StarlitSnowWolf:
How would one do that? The computer makes it "ding" sound like it does when a device is connected to a USB port and RSD Lite will show it if it's in fastboot mode
