Galaxy Note N7000-16GB Model-Power Botton doesnt work!!

Hi guys, first I am giving my mobile details below:

Model - N7000 (16 GB) ROOTED

Android OS - Android 4.4.4 [CM 11 Nightly (11-20151213-NIGHTLY-n7000)]

Baseband Version - N7000XXTL3

Kernel Version - 3.0.64-CM-gc6c1bf0

I have storage like below:

INTERNAL STORAGE

Total space - 1.97 GB

INTERNAL STORAGE

Total space - 11.06 GB

My device's power button is not working OR its working on its own even before it is pressed, randomly rebooting my device continuously so I have disabled the power completely as it is not helpful to either bringing it to any mode(download mode or recovery mode). Using ADB commands via PC I force my device into various modes, when I have to reboot to recovery or download mode without PC I use QuickBoot(reboot) app.

Now coming to the point, if I have to follow this procedure to increase my Internal storage, will my android version (CM11 4.4.4) give any problem? Or can I just follow the steps mentioned without using stock android ROM or any ROM at all and just pit files and then reboot the device? And will i retain my device's ROOT after reboot?

Sorry for the long post guys, I just wanted to a give a complete picture about my device rather than asking questions at every step (IF) I fail.

[Q]

I have a question . My galaxy note is running a stock 4.0.4 rom and I need to repartition it in order to flash lollipop custom rom . So, how do I do it ? Do I have to download a stock rom then do the partition or do I install the custom rom then do the partition ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] User_99:
Stock Rom and repartition, but use a 4.1.2 Rom becouse of brick bug in 4.0.4

SD Card not showing.

I have followed and partioned my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 16 GB variant and have successfully got 5.7 GB for apps installation but sad part is I am not seeing my remaining 5.6 GB as sd card. SD card is showing blank. I don't know where I have done wrong so can someone please guide me how to regain the lost space.

When I go to storage I see the below:

Total Space - 5.91 GB

Available - 5.67 GB

Internal Storage:

Erase all data on SD card. -------- that's it and its not showing any space !!!!!!

What shall I do now. I haven't inserted any memory card.

You should format it too.

Is there a 5 GB PIT without any modifications to '/preload' available?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] arjunrk67:
Format that sd-card partition or else it will not show up

Just open the recovery and format that partition with vfat format (If willing to flash lollipop or marshmallow)

A quick question,

I'm currently using 4Gig Pit File (non modified preload) on a stock samsung rom 4.1.2, can I still use the update via cloud? I'm getting an update for stock rom. So is it ok while using a 4gig pit or I should go back to stock pit then update then re pit to 4gig?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nokiamodeln91:
I think you are OK there... But if possible make a nandroid backup.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] D@rekills4:
I used the 6 GB PIT three times today.

I am still getting only 4 GB data partition (which I used before). What can be the issue?

Yes, I have ticked repartition on in Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Did you format the data partition (and sdcard0) in the recovery after the repartitioning?

If you not format it then it will use the old 4gb filesystem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] vileladelima:

what is the preload attached file for?

when i should use it?

HI,

I am confused by reading post and comments, I am Noob-Noob here :p. Wanted to upgrade program memory to 3 or 4gb. I have some questions if someone can help me with. Thank you in Advance.

1. I am using stock rom. Will it work with stock ROM (N7000DDLSC_N7000ODDLSC_N7000DDLS6_HOME.tar) ? (attached the phone details)

2. My Note is rooted via framaroot 1.9.3 but did not installed any recovery software as never needed because using only stock rom. So should I install recovery? and if which recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VAMET:
Dear Friends

I have also a question related with re-partition GT-N7000 (Samsung Galaxy Note) with 16GB. I have used 6GB re-partition file from download section and everything is OK. I have installed CM 13 Beta 3 ROM from bauner and in CWM Recovery I have used Backup option to save my new ROM with my settings and all applications installed.

My first question, is it possible to use once more re-partition with 10GB or 12GB file from download section and flash it with stock ROM and then Restore my Backup, where earlier I have got re-partition with 6GB file? Will it Restore to the new re-partition 10GB or 12GB?

My second question, is internal storage on my device has got all important data such as settings, applications? So if I have device with 16GB and I use re-partition with let say 6GB file, I will have 6GB internal storage and other free space will be allocated to sdcard0? Is that correct? So my whole important data are not stored on this sdcard0? May I format sdcard0 and reboot my device and I will nothing lose at all (let say I have not moved any applications from internal storage to sdcard0 and I have not copied any personal data to sdcard0 earlier)? In such case, please explain me, what is the purpose of having sdcard0, if I have also 32GB of external card, which is visible in my device as sdcard1? Is there any benefit of having sdcard0 in such case? Is there any possibility to use all 16GB as internal storage without any space on sdcard0?

My third question, how many space I will have, when I use re-partition 12GB file? Internal Storage 12GB and sdcard0 how much?

Sincerely

Stock recovery should work. After flash pit you must format sdcard0

[MENTION=2312232]VAMET[/MENTION]

#1 yes

#2 bachup your data, you will lost it.

#3 4 GB left
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VAMET:
Dear User_99

Let say I will fresh install any ROM. In such case the whole data are stored in Internal Storage or also on sdcard0? In such case in sdcard0 there are no important data and I may format it to vfat and all of my settings, applications will not hurt, because they are stored on Internal Storage, is this correct?

It is better to have more space on Internal Storage or sdcard0?

Sincerely
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xdaBuddy:
thank u bro for reply..Got it..and worked fine
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] User_99:
If I am not wrong internal is your data partition where all user apps and settings are stored. So if you format this partition becouse you repartition the storage you will loose all data. Becouse data and sdcard0 use the same flash you will loose the data too.

So if you flash a new rom it depends if you need to wipe data and sdcard0. If not all data are available.

It depends what you want - more space for apps ond internal or more space for other files like photos oder videos.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VAMET:
Dear User_99

Yes, but if I have also 32GB external card, which is visible as sdcard1 in my device, the sdcard0 will be unused, so optimal re-partition will be max storage for Internal Storage and min storage for sdcard0, because pictures, videos, maps will be stored in sdcard1 (external card).

EDIT

What is the Stock PIT split between Internal Storage and sdcard0 in GB?

Sincerely
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nokiamodeln91:
2GB as data partition a d 11.7 GB as internal storage aka sdcard0.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] User_99:
There is no pit file available with sdcard0 = 0. Also I think the device needs sdcard0. So take the pit with greatest internal partition or make one by youself. There is a step by step guide available, but you need to search for it here on xda.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
Yes, I think device needs sdcard0 e.g. some apps will only write data there not to external. However there are some workarounds if you are running root you can use an app like "Folder Mount" to map your whatsapp folder to external. But this may not work for all apps, I don't know .......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nonobio:
Hi,

It seems that this method is what i need but can you confirm ? i want to be sure :

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with Android 4.1.2 stock rom unrooted. My build version is "JZ054K.N7000XXLT5" (french model). It was sold with french carrier "SFR".

My issue : my /data storage is full (Total 1,97 GB, Free 211 MB) while my internal SD card "/storage/sdcard0" has a lot of free space (Total 11,07 GB, Free 9,39 GB).

I can't move to SD (internal) most of apps installed.

So i would like to repartition my internal storage to increase /data, and so decrease /storage/sdcard0.

I don't want to flash a custom rom and don't want to rrot my device.

So my questions :

Do i need root ?

Will the /storage/sdcard0 the only part of my storage to be deleted with this method ? (/data will be untouched ?)

If i do this method, it will be the first time i connect the phone to my PC. Do i need specific drivers ?

I understood that i will need "Odin" Windows application. Where can i download it and which version choose ? (I plan to use my Windows 10 notebook)

Have someone experienced brick or something bad with this method ?

Is there any problems or bugs know after applying this method ?

Thanks a lot :)

Usable on custom Ice Cream Sandwich firmware?

[MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION], your fabulous work is greatly appreciated.

:good:

I would like to know if this mod can be used on a custom Ice Cream Sandwich firmware (TouchWiz, and/or, AOSP/AOKP)? Or, is it mandatory to have nothing less a Jelly Bean firmware?

:confused:

I apologise for my naive query.

:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Download a Jellybean software made for your country/region. It looks like you run a 16gb model, so use the pit file without preload. You'll need samsung USB drivers (google it), USB debugging enabled in phone, odin version 1.85, and Windows 7 to make sure nothing out of the ordinary happens.

When using it, make sure your phone is charged to the max, and no other applications are running in your PC/Laptop to prevent hardware conflicts as you want the PC/Laptop to concentrate fully on the flashing only. You also need to watch out for the Samsung Kies and antivirus scan, make sure they are temporarily disabled throughout the flashing. If you worry about virus attacks, turn off your internet during that time.

This will delete /data and /sdcard0, it will not root nor does it require one, and this is not a custom rom install. The only thing that changed is the space in your phone. I've done this on two phones successfully, just make sure you follow the steps outlined word-by-word in the guide.

Edit: I did this according to each step as well down to the last detail. I take no responsibility if anything happens, so read up on some of the posts to see what you may or may not encounter but generally it has been successful. Just look at how much people are using this phone without problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nonobio:
Hi :)

When you say "Jellybean software", it is the "pit file" or is it something else ?

Ok, i found it. Version 1.5.55.0

Ok.

Ok, i have it.

I thought to use my Windows 10 notebook, but ok, i can use a Windows 7 computer.

Ok.

Ok for /sdcard0 : i copied all files and folders to an external SD card.

But "/data" too ? It is where all my apps are stored, so if i'm right, i will lost all my installed and preinstalled apps ?

If yes, i will backup all things i can with an app like titanium but i think Titanium doesn't work for unrooted device. So i can use "Super backup" or "Helium". Maybe you have a backup app (for unrooted device) to recommend to me ?

Ok.

Ok, and so the big change is also that i will lose all my apps and data, isn't it ?

Ok.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Jellybean software as in the 4.1.2 stock rom. I've never used unrooted backup apps, so I'm not sure but you can try. Yes, all apps will be deleted; this is a full wipe back to the day you first bought it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nonobio:
Ok ! So i need also the "stock firmware". I checked this sammobile link and searched for "French" : i think i found the good version because there is my french carrier "SFR" displayed.

But there are also PDA and CSC codes as you can see :

[IMG="firmware"]http://imageshack.com/i/plGHJogKp[/IMG]

My build version is JZ054K.N7000XXLT5 so it seems to be the good "PDA".

But i don't know what is the CSC code. Is it important ?

Others informations i can check on my device in "about device" are :

[IMG="about"]http://imageshack.com/i/poVkPztap[/IMG]

Ok.

About sammobile : is it an official "samsung" download center or not ?

I'm downloading the firmware shown in the screenshot. These are inscrutions to use it :

It is recommended to use Odin 3.10.7 version, but should i use 1.85 as you recommend ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Oh wait, I'm running odin 3.09 but those should work too. Yes, you have the right firmware, everything there is official so go ahead and flash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nonobio:
Thanks for all, i will discuss with the phone owner and i will tell you if i flash it. bye

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nonobio:
Hi :)

So i will flash the phone.

I'm preparing all stuff i need and i read again instructions.

There are some steps i doesn't undestand fully :

As i don't want to root my phone or flash custom kernel or rom, it is the step 4a i follow, and so i ignore the step 4b.

When the android chap finishes his spinny wire ball belly animation, what will be the phone status ? Will it be on or off ? If on, should i shutdown it before removing battery ?

About "usual" power/vol up/home trick to do a factory reset, Can you give me more details ? I put on the battery and hold these tree buttons ? What will be displayed ?

To check if the partitionning is ok ?

I don't understand this step : does it apply to me ? (i don't want to root or flash custom kernel or rom)

Maybe there is an error in the step 4b instructions ? :

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Follow step 4a. The 3 buttons will bring you to stock recovery where you must do a factory reset so the firmware will recognise your partition. You said you didn't want to install custom stuff so just ignore steps asking you to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nonobio:
Hi,

Ok, so i just follow these steps :

1) Run compatible version of Odin, put your phone in to download mode (vol down/home/power button) and connect to PC via USB

2) Tick re-partition box

3) Click PIT button and select the pit file of your desired app partition size.

4a) Click PDA and select your stock official samsung jellybean rom

5) Flash and wait for reboot

6) Let the phone reboot and wait until the android chap finishes his spinny wire ball belly animation and then remove the battery and do a factory reset using the usual power/vol up/ home trick.

7) Let it boot so you can check that you are happy with the result.

9) When your phone boots, you may get a notification to format usb storage, say yes if prompted! If it that fails, connect you phone to your PC and format the the internal sd card manually.

10) Remember that Android likes automatically deciding where apps go, so sometime it tries to put stuff to SD itself (app requests it), it is worthwhile checking your installed apps to makes sure they went to internal app partition, you can tell this by either:

b) If you don't have Titanium (why not?) then check the harder way by looking at app manager and swipe to the right to look at SD app, sort by size and then individually move ones back to internal storage

I hope that will works :)

Dear Friends

How to create PIT file with 50/50 space storage (Internal storage/SDCard)?

Sincerely
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
I don't think I understand what you mean. Do you mean 50/50 for internal/external?

A pit file will not affect your external SD card, it just adjusts the internal memory so you can fit more apps onto your phone without having to move then to external SD but reduces the space available on internal storage where you can save photos etc by the same amount as the increase in app storage. Go to settings>storage you will see 2 parts listed as internal storage, these two internal partitions are adjusted. External SD is not touched.

(If you mean 50/50 for internal SD card so 50% is apps & 50% storage for photos etc just select the 8G partition if your phone is the 16G model ......)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VAMET:
Dear IronRoo

...yep, it's just me bad English, sorry. I mean Internal storage for Internal memory and SDCard for Internal storage, which is sdcard0 in my device. At the moment I have used 12 GB PIT file and there are two partitions visible in my device as: Internal memory (11,81 GB) and sdcard0 (1,08 GB), which in summary give 12,89 GB. Yes, I know there it will not be visible as 16 GB, because of math (16000000000/1073741824 = 14,91 GB), but why it's visible only as 12,89 GB?

I would like to have equal free space in the Internal memory and sdcard0, so the final result based on 11,81 GB (Internal memory) + 1,08 GB (sdcard0) = 12,89 GB, will be 12,89 GB / 2 = 6,45 GB visible for both Internal memory and sdcard0.

My first question is, which PIT file will create such equal partitions?

Second question, if I have got 16 GB version device, why my Internal memory + Internal storage are not visible as 14,91 GB (16000000000/1073741824), but only 12,89 GB? Where is missing 2,02 GB?

EDIT

I think 8 GB PIT file will show in my device something like c.a. 7,45 GB for Internal memory and 5,36 GB for sdcard0.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
The missing 2GB or so is used by boot partitions/hidden partition, recovery partition, Dalvik etc., If I understand correctly. (other "missing" space is your system files)

You can create your own pit file to make your available space equal 50/50, if you like to play with fire :fingers-crossed: personally I think you should just select the closest available standard pit file to get about 50/50 that will suit you. I guess it will depend upon how many apps you want to install and how much cache data or other data your apps will need to store as to which is best for you. (I used 6Gb PIT file on my wifes phone, Storage shows she has 5.91GB for apps & 7.08GB for data). BTW You can also claim some of the boot partition if you are on a ROM that does not use it, one post on this thread explains it.

To play with fire ...er I mean create your own pit see

Partitioning Internal Storage on an Ice Cream Sandwich firmware

[MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION], I am keen on flashing CyanogenMod 9.x (AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich firmware) after partitioning the internal storage on my device, and as such, have a couple of queries before proceeding with the subsequent process -

Is it mandatory to use a

stock Jelly Bean

firmware; as mentioned in the very first post of this thread? Or, can I use an appropriate

stock Ice Cream Sandwich

as I proceed with the partitioning process within PC ODIN?

I understand CyanogenMod firmwares do not use Pre-Load, and consequentially, the PIT file I will need to use is, Galaxy_Note_n7000_4__6____8gb_data_-_45mb_preload.zip, right?

:confused: :o

If I have misunderstood the instructions, can you please guide me? I await your response, and I thank you for your time and patience.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
You are fine to use ICS, my OP never took into account people might be happy on older releases!

CM usually uses no pre-load, I think some customs do sometime though, so if it is vanilla CM you should be fine once again!
