Greetings,
The reason I want to install a new ROM is because, for some reason, my phone doesn't have android market; and I couldn't find another way to install market applications or to buy android market.
My questions are:
Is there an original ROM somewhere? that is, a ROM that was taken from an xperia mini pro (with android market)
Do custom ROMs have Android Market in them?
I'm a total newbie, so sorry if I'm asking the obvious
Thank you
Here all rom has the market.
Great, thanks Andreson
But are there any original ROMs?
You could use the PC Companion to restore your phone back to the original ROM
I have market'd rom.

Hey bro,
I dont have the file on this laptop but as soon as i get home ill post a link to my SE 2.1 with xrec and su already done, other than those it is completly stock. It has market on it. Let me know if it works for you.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.
Edit: It is the old kernel tho (2.0.A.0.504) so if you still want it let me know and ill post a link.
Edit 2: Here is the link. This is for the mini pro, or rather i should say thats what the fw came from. I take no responsablitity if you brick your phone. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16618406/SE Stock 2.1.zip
Im guessing flashing you hp using SEUS will solve you problem mate.

Hey bro,
This wouldn't work because he has already said that his stock doesn't have the Android Market. This to me would mean that his country doesn't support the market yet, which is an odd thought. Anywho, flashing that should work for you, unless you have the mini in which case it wont since its from mini pro.
Peace,
evilbarcode.
i believe it's not the region problem, i believe every android support the market.

You are right, the android market is supported by android in all regions but cell companies themselves may not support it. They are the ones who make the software their own (add their own bloatware and shiz like that). If this guy bought the device from a company that doesnt support market then the phone will not have market on it, but it is still able to have the market installed. Follow?
So in which case instead of flashing the rom i posted, best bet is to follow the link you posted. It would be easier and then he can stay on the same fw his cell company provided.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.
just as evilbarcode said, about the company thing, every android devices should support the market apps.
i hope the link i posted help solves your problem mate.

First leaked ICS rom for GT-I9220/GT-N7000.
Do not flash this rom on your devices, as this is only meant for the developers to have a look at and port to your AT&T devices.
All the best everyone.

This method has already been confirmed to not work on the Canadian Notes, any chance of it working on the att note?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
First of all, if this is for the EU Note, it's probably gonna be more difficult to port to the US Note than, say a ICS leak for the Skyrocket (same SoC as US Note). And secondly, the link in the OP basically gives me a 404.

I'm downloading it now to mirror it elsewhere, but it's gonna take 2-3 hours. Really slow.
The host (uploading.to) stopped allowing downloads from American IP addresses due to the whole megaupload thing. A non-US proxy would work faster if you have access to one.

Noob here,
I've looked and looked and haven't seen anything definitive. I have a Samsung GS II (I-777). Someone had rooted my phone for me a while back but now I want to un-root it. I only have access to Mac and have NO idea how to. Everything on here seems to be written in a different language lol. What's the easiest and most simplest way to do this? Sorry if this is repetitive. Thanks in advance!
Rooting is such an easy proccess. Looking at you, I would not recommend it doing by yourself. Rooting will not get you on any legal issue other than warranty cancelation. If you still insist look at the stickied threads in this forum. I myself would like to explain it, but I can't explain it better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
Not sure if a virtual machine of Windows would work but I would give that a try if your hell bent on un-rooting.
My question is why do you want to reverse a good thing?

What I meant was that rooting is easy to do. And nothing negatives comes out of it unless you want to get the phone back to store... Since it's a mac and he doesn't have much knowledge of rooting, just let it be.

Well, "looking at you" made me go Whaaaat??? myself. Odd snap judgement from reading one post, which was pretty well phrased from what I saw.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434020 which should help - and this thread says it should work with MacOS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432. You'll need to do some more searching and learning (start with the sticky at the top of the general forum). If you don't feel confident doing this, then don't. You really aren't going to gain anything by it unless you have a specific need. Or expand on what you're looking for and maybe we can help.
BTW if you don't use it, the difference between root and unrooted is zero AFAIK. Root just lets you do more, but it's still stock i777 if that's all "someone" did.
Well, the thing is, the root that this person did (not me lol) has disabled my wifi. It's the ZedomaxStockKernel. I did some research on this and it seems that using this method renders the wifi useless. I clearly don't know what I'm doing but will read more in regards to this. Again, I've had the phone rooted for about a month now and I haven't done anything different. (Maybe because I don't know how) I wouldn't mind leaving it rooted but if I could fix the wifi issue, that would be great and then maybe I can learn further about this whole root thing. Reading through the forums though, most people rooting have Windows and not Macos. Which kind of leaves me feeling alone lol

Go into the siyah thread (you can do it on your phone). Download the ATT tar file. Open up mobile odin, select kernel. It will open a window to find your kernel. If you download from the xda app it will be in tapatalk_downloads I think. Select siyah_2.1.13 (or whatever it is). Go down to the bottom where it says flash firmware, hit it. If done correctly, the phone will reboot and everything will be awesome
I'll keep an eye on this thread tonight in case you have further questions.
Forgot to mention, the siyah thread is here in the i777 forum, more specifically look in the development section. The download link is in the first post.

Okay I understood almost everything you wrote! Let me start by saying thank you! Couple of questions so I don't screw something up!
1. Should I download the .tar file directly to my phone? Would that be easiest?
2. I can't seem to find the thread in the development section, care to spoon feed me?
Lastly, when I googled Siyah it gave my a website but I don't know if that's reliable or not.
Thanks!!
Found it!! Will try today and update!

I would really love the ability to use google wallet with NFC!!!! I know its been talked about here and there and the whole phone ID thing..etc.. but i am willing to put up $25 ...i am on ICS OBJECTION if it matters.. any takers ..any others willing to contribute??? Moderators if i am not supposed to post bounty, or if the flamers show up.....just shut it down!!
thanks !!!!
I'm not too sure, but I thought you could edit the phone ID through build.prop. Also, there really is no reason to start a bounty. Google Wallet should be available to the AT&T g-note when the official ICS update is out.
What's with people posting for bounties lately. If its important enough a recognized dev will address it sooner than later.
Leave the bounties for big stuff like, for example, opening playbook QNX bootloader to accept googles android as a native boot option.
Now THAT I would gladly pony the cash for.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
It's not that simple. Having NFC isn't the only hardware requirement to be able to use Google Wallet. Google Wallet has to be able to store your card details on a separate chip within the phone - the secure element. To do this, Google Wallet has to have full access to the secure element. So far it seems that Samsung have not given Google the authentication to access the Note's secure element, and if that is indeed the case then no developers outside of Samsung will ever get Google Wallet to work.
Agree that bounties for everything is dumb. As far as I know, no one has gotten wallet working on a non nexus device, so the odds are against us.
i offer a bounty because google wallet w/nfc is BIG to me .. we all want different things, i know a few people(devs) have tried, but this is something i would really LOVE to have and use.. but if it is not possible to do on this device, then it is what it is and ill go about my merry way ...HOWEVER ..if someone can accomplish this maybe with a bounty it will be worth it for someone to get knee deep into
thanks again ..if someone say that it absolutely can not be done..please close

Not to sound mean... But if you are asking about basic stuff, you might want to:
- Read some threads before you start flashing
- use the search function
- follow the thread instructions following the above two suggestions.
Try to troubleshoot yourself first... All your issues are solvable by searching.

I agree with this POV.
If someone is having trouble simply installing/updating CWM, they absolutely need to do more reading, or chances are they will badly mess up their phone.
Using ODIN and installing CWM are rooting 101, and I would advise any SGS3 user to make sure they know these 2 bits of software inside and out, before jumping into CM9/CM10, as both are not fully stable, and will require additional knowledge to get them working correctly, if it is yet possible given the current build states of each.
If CWM installs, or ODIN flashes are not pieces of cake for you, you should probably pick a different ROM until they are.
Yes we all started somewhere, but a big tip from experienced users to noobs, is to learn how to swim, before jumping in the deep end. And CM9/CM10 is definitely the "deep end" of the Android pool, at least until the builds reach RC status, if not at least beta, as things wont work, or are yet to come upstream.
It takes as much time to flame as it does to post helpful advice. How do you want to be remembered?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Telling some one that cant swim, how to jump into the deep end, is not my idea of "helpful" advice.
Sometimes the "helpful" advice is.. "you are not ready yet"
It may not be what the person wanting to jump into the deep end wants to hear, but it may save their phone, until they know what they need to, to get where they want to be.

And CM9/CM10 is definitely the "deep end" of the Android pool, at least until the builds reach RC status, if not at least beta, as things wont work, or are yet to come upstream.

Thanks man...:good:
I know the sense of panic you have when you trash your phone, here's hoping some users understand that by searching first, almost 98% of the answers are out there.
That being said, I am willing to help out, given what I know, but I am willing to bet there are posts already done that lay it out there, step by step, on how to recover from this...???
Again, to anyone seeing this, not trying to be a **** here, but the search function really has tremendous value when looking, don't just try one term, use several variants of terms when searching. I bet you'll find something, heck..you may find out something off your first search topic that'll get you there better or quicker.
OP ...have you looked at this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736476
Well I'm yet to find a detailed guide, I haven't been able to find one - I'm not going to do something based off a bad or poorly written guide, I am not going to risk breaking my new galaxy s3. I am yet to find a guide that suits my standard of usage; it would be nice for someone to point one out to me instead of making a debate oh whether I can or can not do something - please don't consdend me.

I take it you have the SGS3 for AT&T, correct?
What exactly do you need a guide for, upgrading CWM?
I take you are rooted, what version of CWM do you have, and what version are you trying to upgrade to?
What version & build of CM are you trying to install, the file name should give the specifics?
Does the ODIN count matter to you?
okay download CWM for your phone from :http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Rename it to recovery.img , and copy the file to your phone's internal /sdcard
Grab android terminal emulator from the play store and run the same commands starting with su in the box below.
just type: su
then
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
