oops

i made a mistake

i didn't reboot betwin i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage-TWRP-3.3.1-1.img and Flash i9100-to-n7000 TWRP conversion: lanchon-twrp-patcher-20160417-n7000.zip

now i am stuck on boot screen

but odin works

EDIT

ok back on the kernel and recovery argood told me before

i flashed the i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage-TWRP-3.3.1-1.img

but when i reboot recovery it does not boot recovery, stuck on samsung Galxy Note GT-N7000 pannel with yellow triangle

EDIT 2

with ODIN, i am back on samsung stock rom N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Not really understand... so, your current recovery is i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage-TWRP-3.3.1-1.img but it does not boot to recovery? And which kernel you are using?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ludskyrider:
ok let me tell you where i am now

I was stuck, but with odin i flashed to stock

Android 4.0.3

Baseband N7000XXLR1

Kernel 3.0.15-N7000ZSLPF-CL558430 se.infra@SEP-68 #3

Build IML74K.ZSLPF

Now i am back on course

But i think i have much things to do before following your first page instruction

Would you be agree to lead me step by step?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Sure. So basically these are the steps when coming from stock. Hope this is useful for the others too.

1. Get a custom recovery so that you can flash zips. Flash this with Odin/heimdall: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120702299

2. Reboot recovery. Flash this twrp isorec enabled kernel and the isorec twrp: https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=28250, https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=23751

3. Reboot recovery. You should now inside TWRP 3.1.1 IsoRec. Proceed flashing LOS16 with the instructions in first post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ludskyrider:
ok

i am on Team Win Recovery Project 3.1.0-0 now

but i am not in TWRP 3.1.1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Ah. Don't mind that, I type it wrongly xD

You may follow the instructions in the first post now. Do ask if there's anything unclear.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ludskyrider:
i upgraded to 3.1.1 after step2

step3 ok

but in step 4 when i flash lanchon-repit-20170115-system=1.5G+wipe-data=max+wipe-sdcard=min+wipe-preload=min+wipe-n7000.zip

it wrties:

FATAL: unable to unmount all partitions (this package copied itself to '/tmp'; please run it again from here)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Yes. It copied to /tmp, so you just go to /tmp and the zip file should be there - just flash it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ludskyrider:
finger crossed

flash is done

reboot in process
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Open a vodka :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ludskyrider:
for the moment it's still booting

it takes a while

i think it is normal, this is an old device

EDIT 1

25 minutes

1st boot aborted and recovery booted it self

2nd boot runing

EDIT 2

2 times : boot aborted and TWRP reboot itself

I flashed again, it 's the same

Any idea?

EDIT 3

i download build and gapps again

wipe and flash again

but it is still stuck on boot animation for a while and then it reboot automatically on TWRP

EDIT 4

YESS!!! I'm on it

thanks a lot for your help

Nanodroid you need the systempatcher: https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/NanoDroid-patcher-22.9.20200910.zip

Never mind - seems I turned off "keep connection to server" in Wire's settings, and then re-installed the app (...when I thought that it was broken) which gave me a new device fingerprint, invalidating the old one and losing any sent messages in between!

WOW - I even got WhatsApp to work using MicroG! This ROM is completely AWESOME!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:

These phones really last long and has quite not bad build quality, the structural integrity is there. If they could run some linux os like the sailfish or ubtouch, be it fully functional or not, I will be very satisfied.

Don't even know when these kind of old phones and laptops (and also cars!) will retire xD Like, I really hope them lasts because I don't like modern design and all that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] i-wis:
Good evening I installed your custom rom it apparently works well it is quite stable the only problem that I have taken into account currently and that the connection sharing does not work whether it is not USB or a wifi modem it does not work it all starts for a fraction of a second and then stops. this is the only problem I have access since I just installed
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] airfie:
Glad, l able to make it work.

Well... First time got scared because it bootloop, after flashing reboot. Then l repeat step 5 including /data to wipe to make it run.

Well, before flashing gapps every thing is okay, but then really crap performance. Gapps in no no.

Then bluetooth is weird, once it connected, few minutes later is disconnected and refuse to be connected. I have to "forgot device" first to make it connected then it happen again.

Cam is ok but... hard to get it focus.

I'll downgrade.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
The bluetooth glitch is also happening with me and i don`t now why?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Hi Lee,

Will you be updating this rom or this is discontinued.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Will be updated in near future.. I'm still having my internship and I didn't have the time at the moment.

For the bluetooth problem, probably because of a change in sources to use the actual firmware. You guys can try to remove the bluetooth firmware and see...

hi, I've tried this rom and I want to rollback to stock rom, is it ok to directly flash it via odin?

*sorry for my poor english
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Yes, just make sure to repartition on flash and perform a factory reset after flash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] wahjoe_ndog:
so, in odin I need to check the re-partition in the option tab before flashing?

and after the flasing is done, I need to factory reset in recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Yes, and make sure you include the respective PIT file for your device for the repartitioning.

And yes, factory reset in recovery after flash. Cause every time odin flash is dirty flash, not clean flash. Unless your partition got overwritten during flash, then your old data and files will persist.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] wahjoe_ndog:
what if I want to downgrade to your older lineage os? is it ok to just format and install the rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Yes, that would be ok. But if which one you referring to? I think you will need a repartition or else there's no internal sdcard on system, unless you have a sdcard. But either, the rom should boot just fine. Pop in an sdcard just in case.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] wahjoe_ndog:
edit-

everything is good, i'm using your lineage os 14.1, there is sdcard0 with 8mb when I check storage setting, internal storage 14.68gb with total used 2.52gb, and a USB DRIVE for my ext sdcard

if I want to repartition again to rollback to stock rom, how should I set the configuration?

sorry for troubling you 😁
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Sorry for this late reply!

If want to go back to stock, just straightaway flash stock in odin with the pit file repartitioning will do.

Hi, im want to do this step 2 but those links seems to be missing, they give me "404 not found"

Oh, no. We got a problem here.

XDA DevDB has been deprecated, so were the DevDB downloads. Bauner seems inactive too...

I just browsed my disk and can't seem to find the files too. Cause I'm using heimdall to flash everything, so I only have the iso TWRP image.

Err.... I think I will have to come up with a new zip flashable then. Were you in a rush to have it?

Can you please give a link for stock pit file. I messed up partitons and i`m unable to find any pit file for the phone .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Argood,

Please find link on these boards that has the stock partitions.... This file contains Odin, and stock PITs for 16GB or 32GB, depending on your model.

https://xdaforums.com/t/lets-unbric...ck-hard-brick-ota-brick.1656635/post-26162413

Just make sure you find a stock rom that is not ICS, as it has the eMMC bug... But if ya returning to stock, ya would surely look for a GB 4.1.2 rom?

GL....

Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Thanks but my phone is no longer turning on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Argood,

What's happened to your phone since the 19th ?? Have you removed the battery and then replaced after about a minute? Have you flashed it with incorrect firmware?

Did it just suddenly die on you?? I've got 2x NOTEs, one of mine just suddenly died on me out of the blue/no warning. I was on a supposedly SAFE firmware, apparently.... from the brickbug. Guess it wasn't in the end... So got another one off eBay.

Try taking the battery out, and holding the power button in for over a minute, do a power drain...

Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Well the thing that happened is that my phone was in a boot loop due to messed up partitons and was rebooting so i gone into recovery and powerd it down and after that it is showing no signs of life . I even tried checking for short and reflowed the SOC and emmc with my SMD rework station. It did show some signs of life like phone was heating up bit not turning it was only drawing 0.3 Amps inteasd of usual 1.5 amps.

Also my phone had the 0x25 emmc which is immune to brickbug. And yes it suddenly died on me. Currently I`m using a Nokia 8.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Argood,

Oh, that doesn't sound good... Certainly sounds like ya know ya stuff, wouldn't have a clue how to do all those checks... the SOC and reflowed?? Lost me already... ;-) lol.

However mine does exactly the same. When I plug it in, it seems to charge as likewise, mine generates heat... more so around the camera area. But again, no sign of actual life in the phone itself. So far, I've assumed it dead... :(

I did read in one thread on these forums, that someone was able to revive a couple of them, by placing them on a hot radiator.... I guess something to do with the solder joints?? But Ive tried that, and no luck so far.... and I am guessing that's what you've done with the reflowed??

How do know or check for 0x25 emmc ? Not that it would do me any good, as mine died regardless... :( lol Mine was all fine until one morning on way to work, noticed it stuck on the Samsung logo all the way to work. So as I was driving, I left it like that. Got out, got to my desk and still stuck. So I pulled the battery, put back in... that was the last I ever saw of it... :(

Hello

You can buy N7000 motherboard on aliexpress.

I'm so angry why i bought it this year it literally had issues like USB port failing every two months.

Edit:- I used JTAG unit from a technician and flashed a Bootloader and it said on the computer "Dead body revived successfully" which means emmc is fine.So the issue is of the SOC or Cpu Vcore. And the way to fix it is a mobo replacement. I will never buy old phones again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Android Q for N7000 exists.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Are you able to check on the power management chip, the maxim chip below the cam module? Cause for my previous n7000, seems like that's the chip that causes my n7000 turn dead suddenly. It just like all of a sudden won't draw any current anymore, unable to chargeup at all. I'm not quite sure cause I didn't have the chance to change the chip, I just happen to see overheating burn marks on the chip.

I also heard people saying that the rtc battery could be the culprit for old phones not charging up, but I can't confirm it either cause I have the rtc battery on all my n7000s removed due to rust.

Hey guys, It's been a while since I last posted.

I'm still packed by my internship, which will be ending on 31st December. I will continue my final diploma semester in 18 Jan, which left me around 2 weeks time only. Normally for a major android bring up, it would take me 1 whole month of non-stop work to able to release a new android version for n7000.

I wanted to continue this development a lot. I enjoyed doing it. Sadly till date, my parents are still not being supportive of me doing this as something of my interest. Worst of all, recently my SSD starts to degrade after 12TB of host writes. The performance dropped to less than the performance of a 5.4k RPM harddisk. The average write speed of my SSD is just ~25MB/s now.

I couldn't imagine the build time on my old laptop without having SSD on it. And also, I had to replace it. I can't risk having the SSD to fail when I'm having my studies next year.

I'm planning to get a new SSD but I just spent some of my money in buying a very good router for my family. And my dad is not happy either on me having a SSD starting to degrade after just about 1 year using it. Luckily, I was able to get my hands on with a 7.2k RPM WD Scorpio Black. The performance is about 25% of the SSD. Although is not very impressive, but at least it is something. We will see how it goes when I'm back to development.

So guys, I'm sorry to inform, but I won't be releasing anything new soon. I will continue to mess around with lineage 16 when I'm able to get back to development.

@IDroidI , to be honest, 8.1.0 is not well developed for galaxys2 devices. There are lots of graphic related issues on android 8 for galaxys2 devices, it is kind of abandoned and devs turn to develop android 9 instead after some graphic related backporting works are done. I would say that after 7.1.2, android 9 is the one to go. Android 8 should be avoided, unless the graphic glitches are a non-issue. However I will say that my builds (like the los14 and los16) are very horrible - I'm not an expert developer, seriously. I come from zero, I know nothing at all. I mess around with stuffs and breaks stuff even, I still recall I have the USB tethering bug to be fixed! (sorry to the folks who report it.... I seriously will get this fixed first when I'm back to development)

Android 10 is definitely possible. If you are a compiler, you can refer to my sources on github. I've internally compiled android 10 for n7000 before, trees are ready, just a few bugs that needs to be fixed. I believe rinando or ChronoMonochrome has the fixes already, particularly on the BCM47511 GPS and also the RIL crash bug, which are not available by the time I compile. Kernel is definitely kind of messed up in terms of the governors and thermal threshold, can get the well optimized configurations from my latest available los16 kernel.

Seriously, I will be more than happy if anyone could assist me, or at least, develop on n7000.

And lastly - what S2 can achieve, N7000 also can achieve. That's what keeps me motivated to do all these things since the beginning.

Stay safe, Merry Christmas and have a nice day!

Also i baked the motherboard in a microwave and now my phone turns on but only to a ramdump mode. If I go to recovery, download it will immidiately boot into ramdump and deleting every partition and flashing Stock JB via JTAG also leads to ramdump.

Hello

Just a suggestion

If you have anything that is write intensive you should purchase a SLC nand type SSD regular TLC ssd`s are not rated for such high write dependent workloads. Also why your black hdd is performing so poorly. I have one in my computer and it performs on par with an ssd in real life performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Zolo2000:
Hello all,

I tried to install this ROM, but I have a issue I didn't found in this thread.

I was on Banner 7.1.2 ROM. But my partitions were modified with a pit file, and I choose to restart from ICS original to be sure to have the developer's final configuration.

After I have done as it was the better solution to install Bauner's

ICS full wipe via Odin -> ok

JB latest version via Odin -> ok

CWM signed via original recovery -> ok

Phil's Touch 6 via CWM recovery -> ok

Bauner's kernel only 13 can't be downloaded (dead link), but I have the full ROM

I always used the "clean to install a new ROM" from Phil's Touch at this moment

Bauner's's 13 installed via Phil's Touch -> ok

Recovery is now TWRP 3.1 and ROM is working

Now, I use the method described for this ROM, but I have this issue when I use the repit zip. (Launched from tmp folder)

I didn't saw it in this thread.

Is there a solution ?

You have to know this : the first time I tried to flash TWRP 3.3, I think I have wrote it on bootloader and not recovery (French traduction in TWRP can make user do a mistake)

Thank you if you can help me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Flash everything to stock. and never try to wipe your phone in Stock ICS it can brick your phone and install rom as demonstrated and flash this repit from tmp https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tAZvIWI2Qsx4pqP_qib9snK4rkGhfjgV/view?usp=sharing

and let me know. How that goes

Have a nice day.

I just acquired a 98% new Micron 1300 512GB at a extremely cheap price from taobao earlier this morning, TLC 96L 3D NAND.

Yeah, I agree on that. But don't think I could spend too much money on this, my dad gonna screw me up for sure :( At first I don't think about buying a new ssd, but came across this that is selling at only MYR182. Damn cheap for reputable brand with 512GB storage, immediately bought it.

My current linux drive is a 64GB OEM phison s9 msata ssd, and is a MLC or probably SLC ssd. Even with near 12TB host writes, there's no sign of degradation or failing. Extremely robust, even though the speed is not really fast like ssd nowadays.

The WD Black is performing at ~110MB/s read, ~85MB/s write. I'm not sure if this is good,, will need to compare with my another wd black... have two of them, one 320GB one 500GB. Both of them revived from having bad sector failures.

I also bought a caddy for my laptop. My current plan is to convert my current degraded ssd into a build environment drive, and use the new ssd as my windows drive. And i continue use my msata as linux drive.

And too bad I'm still having my internship. Guess I didn't have time for development at all before semester starts. But thanks to internship, then only have some $$$ to upgrade/replace parts :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Zolo2000:
Hello,

Thank you for your anwer.

I have flashed my phone with stock JB ROM, applied CWM signed via original recovery, flashed Bauner's CM13 ROM (I didn't do a wipe in CWM recovery at this step)

After, I have TWRP 3.3 already patched for using repit zip without installing it

I tried to use the file you told, but my phone told me it's impossible, because I have a N7000, not a i9100.

I think I must retry and do a wipe before upgrade to CM13.

I have found old pits files I have used when I have installed Bauner's 7.1.2 ROM. Maybe I must install this ROM and after only, try to put LOS16 on my N7000. What do you think ?
