[Q] Read Urgent Please - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If i go to recovery and factory reset with the root already on my phone will it brick?

urgent please read.... as well!
you'll get brick if and only if your using a stock ICS kernel.
now, If your using a safe one(e.g SpeedMod, Hydra and etc).. then your good to go with the factory reset in recovery.

What will happen
Im using stock ics room , and i want to factory reset my phone so that i t has none of my old files. If i flash it with stock firmware what will happen?

Either go back to gingerbread and factory reset or flash a sage kernel and do it
Now if you want a brick that's another story

Yes flash gingerbread rom, you may face force closing after flashing gb rom , not to worry and reboot in to recovery and wipe cache and data
Your device will Unroot and erase all your files from phone (still internal sdcard card data will be there, if you want to erase that too then factory reset with selecting usb storage erase optiin)

Yes, your device is not bricked.
Security notice is normal in latest ROM, it usually appears if you have added sync account. But have nothing to worry for that (indeed I am also having it)

I remember entropy have said once, it may be probably safe. But you can't say it completely safe. and when there is even rare chance to brick, why we should chance when alternate is available.

Yes, In settings. Is it safe?

Hi,
I first bricked my phone by using Odin with bad files(I9100 files). and the Icons (Computer - Danger - Phone) displays on phone and odin was recogized my phone.
Unfortunately, I wrongly use Odin OneClick Downloader to fix the problem, and after a green error on phone, my phone goes to sleep, and nothing is displaying and odin does not recognize it.
Riff Jtag for I9100g is used on my phone but it seems that riff box doesn't work on I9100g yet. and the problem is not solved.
Please Help me.
Does any one knows that what Odin OneClick downloader done to my phone?

Odin OneClick? I Google around, this tool seems is for Samsung Captivate, not for i9100G.
Did Odin One-Click (not the normal odin3) still can detect your phone? if yes, maybe you can try search around it full function.
Or else I think you probably need send over to Samsung service center.
Next time please read more before playing around with it, you 1st mess with i9100 ROM to i9100G then you mess again using Odin One-Click which basically for captivate. Two step you did is not for i9100G.

If your microUSB port's shot, you're stuffed, 'mafraid.
'If it's the socket itself that's unusable, you won't be able to do anything with it. Try using it with another cable? Any generic cable of the same sort'll do.
If you can get that working, a USB Jig might help you out with getting into Download mode. Strongly suggest flashing a different ROM, rather than just rooting stock.

Country code(?)

Hello people.
Let me try to explane it in my words for what I'm looking for.
When I bought my Note it still was running on 2.3 but 4.0.4 was already out. And like you all I like a firmware update yesterday :banghead:
That time there was a way to change the country code(?) and I could get that 4.0.4 release.
The country list on my phone was verry long, and my choice went for ATO (open austria).
From that time the long list of country's was gone.
My question is this: why did my phone have somany country options?(1)
Why did the other country choices left the list after I choice ATO?(2)
Is it possible to get that long list back so I can choose again for a country code?(3)
I hope you understand the way I ask my question. Thanx

Nice try but not really the answer what I was looking/thinking for. I know how to install a Rom or what Rom. I like to see al those country choices back.
But good to remind that Samsung fUped the Note 1 and needs a special kernel. Noting personal just total missed my question.

Broken csc, I wonder how. I used the (normal) way to change the csc that Samsung allows without breaking thier rules.
I changed it too ato Austrian. (NOT to be confused with ota)
When I will use your option am I break the garanty rule of Samsung?
And I don't want to risk this phone to get bricked too.

easy, you need a multi country csc, usually on the open country roms.
that list is contained in the csc, which you can flash via odin. Sometimes flashes go wrong, list empty, reflash the csc, sometimes because csc set is not in rom, then also empty, or csc defaults to rom default.
Always, in regard to pcode best to have an efs backup, you will be required to flash csc again.
Do so from safe kernel cause changing will wipe phone
Try sammobile site and download stock ROM from there

Are you using a Odex rom?
Looking at the MJA Hotspot Hack. No, This update will disable that. If you use the tiny update zip and not the full ROM. I can not say how stable this will be with a modified services.jar/services.odex. Since the tiny update is expecting the files to be completely stock to apply the patches.
Right now I'm stock, rooted MJA

Both the tiny update and the full rom will disable the hack? I Downloaded the full rom but probably will not flash it if I lose the hack. Thanks for your help.

Very strange, do you have a logcat of the attempted flash?
Also, I updated the link for the update.zip, Try it now. People were talking about in the MK2 general thread, it needs to be named update.zip for some reason.
so after reading the OP I take it this won't work if I'm on mf9?
is it worth trying?
I'm on mf9.. cm11..

You can use the ROM file. But don't use the update.zip

Same problem here. I know when I followed the instructions to update to MJA without bootloader i kept the MF9 modem because i haven't been able to get to a computer to apply it, could that be the issue or would i need the full MJA Bootloader and Modem to get this to stick?

[Q] Rooting Xperia Z (C6602) 10.4.1.B.0.101 ?

Hello Guys,
I just received my sony Z from Sony Service center and they updated my phone to the original 10.4.B.0.569 and ofcourse I lost root,CWM and all else.
I connected my phone to the Sony Companion and it updated to stock 10.4.1.B.0.101, now how do I root it and install the cwm aswell?
help will be much appreciated.
First, there is no requirement for creating another thread for this question.
Second, there is no direct root as of now for 4.3. You need to flash pre-rooted system to keep your root.

apologies for creating another thread, and thanks for the reply.
so in other words downgrade to a .67 for example and root then upgrade either to stock new update or install a custom rom with the update right? and it will keep root and recovery?
Downgrade, yea. But need to flash the pre-rooted system partition, which will preserve recovery and root.

Downgrade to 4.2, root, upgrade via cwm to 4.3 prerooted rom that includes recovery and su fixes and you are done.

@ ahassouna, How did you manage to downgrade? I tried to flash .67 from the flashtool and then my phone just keeps restarting. I did wipe the apps log, cache & data. Still no luck. Could you let me know any other way how you could achieve this?
I had a bootloop too when downgraded from 4.3 to 4.2 that i solved by doing a wipe data when flashing the 4.2 rom. I think you have to do a fresh install when you downgrade in order to avoid bootloops

Used the Flashtool to downgrade. I was on 4.3 .569 firmware then simply flashed .67 firmware using flashtool. No luck

Did you choose to wipe data? Its important to do that since you are downgrading from higher Android version.
Try a different region just to ensure that there is no issues with the FTF. Make sure the MD5 is the same after you download.

i downgrade with flashtool
dudes, I did the downgrade (4.3 > 4.2) using flashtool, you have to find&download C6602_10.3.1.A.2.67_India Generic.ftf, and it's done...:good:
btw you can root 4.2.2 using kingo andorid root, with lb, and later wait for ota (twice, until .101), it's pretty easy but you need some patience
