i have a little problem:
i just installed cyanogen 10, and all went great, except it won't do anything
it's just the blue icon on the start, and it's like that for hours, until the battery over
is there something i can do, or is complety bricked?
Doesn't sound like everything went all that great then!
What recovery did you use to flash the ROM? Did you wipe the device as per instructions first? Can you reboot into recovery mode? What ROM were you on before?
Just as a tip, you'll have to provide more detail and show you are trying to resolve the problem or you will find yourself on your own more often than not...

well, i'm kinda new to this, so i used this post on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803593 (my samsung tablet is 10.1, not 10.1v, i don't know if it makes the diference)
there was step 7 that says:
7. Once in recovery: clean cache & clean dalvik cache. (I did a full wipe to be sure I don't report bugs to pershoot which are linked to data problems).
and i remember clean cache, but the dalvik cache i couldn't find it
the rom i had was the same from the store, androind 3.2 i guess
and yes, i can go to the recovery mode, what can i do?
The first thing you shouod always to before flashing roms is make a backup in CWM recovery. If you have a backup then go to restore in recovery and restore it ans start over. Dalvnik cache is in the advanced section of CWM recovery. So is format system if you need to that per the instruction provided by the rom's OP.

i didn't made a backup, so there is any file that can bring the old system back (android 3.2) ?
or is it possible to do directly on the CWM menu? (if there is, how do i do it? )
and thanks in advance for your help
Your going to have to use ODIN to get back to stock 3.2. Use the Unrooting process outlined I this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD PARTITION. From there, reflash clockworkmod recovery with ODIN, but use the one provided by pershoot on his blog if you plan to flash one of his experimental CM builds. Goodluck! Follow all steps carefully, perform all necissary wipes. Oh and the first thing to do after you flash clockworkmod is perform a backup!

Yes, but for that you will need root. Place the play store apk in system/app and give it permissions -r -r -w
That's all I can think of at the moment. Maybe some one else will have another suggestion :-/

You could ve flashed the wrong firmware or the one for different country.
try checking the firmware version and country version.
Still not working ?
Get a working store apk from Google.
No?
Use some other market temporarily like appbrain.

Well that's OT then. I think there are other threads that detail how to unbrick your device.
FYI, I've had my device completely fubar'd including the kernel and all of the partitions after playing with the partition table and raw MTD, and I managed to restore it every time. It's just a matter of finding the right pieces and flashing them.

Assuming you have a good partition table, a good efs partition, and a good param (lfs) partition, this is pretty easy to recover from.
Download a good clean factoryfs
Flash Steve's kernel and factoryfs using odin/heimdall
Delete everything on /dbdata, /cache, and /data
When you are booted into recovery and /system is mounted, you can also try to use newfs_msdos on the /dbdata, /cache, and /data partitions.
Note Steve's kernel is not compatible with my CM7 ROM and my kernel is not compatible with the stock ROM. The kernel itself is the same but the embedded initramfs is different for CM7.

There's the gapps if you want them. Flash with CWM.

Wow Nice.
First time flashing it did it in like 4 seconds and i was like WTF. I tried turning on but it was stuck on the samsung logo.
After the second time, idk what i did but it did take like a min to flash and it booted up pretty quick for first time.
So far pretty happy with it. But thats just me i've only had it for like 10 min.
Ill keep you updated.
For the meantime i can confirm it works..
Also can confirm gapps work to. Thanks.

Thanks. I have seen the fast flash also, I think it's because /system is (or isn't) mounted in recovery.
Unfortunately, Samsung has to be different from every other standard Android device. They use a single image for kernel, recovery, and normal boot. So you're stuck with my recovery files for CM7. I'm still learning the details of how the recovery is supposed to work...

As long as i have a stable CM7 Im good..
Yeah really stable. Though the launcher is kinda slow other than that everything is snappy really ♥ the theme option. Well anyways man good job. Best rom ever. Now i guess since we have a cm7 rom we can start building a miui.

We have indeed a cm7 rom but we need a more stable rom. I'll try this weekend to make MIUI and during next week too. (spring break! )
Not trying to sound kinda... you know, but i found a bug.
1. The soft keys at the bottom dont light up nor vibrate.
I also got some positive.
1. Some of the apps that didnt show for the SGP even with the klasic rom now show up such as go locker and a few more apps.
Ill keep you updated.
Our spring break is till next week
Want to flash a new rom and try out themes but I want to get confirmation on the steps I'll be taking rather than just rely on my search results.
1. I found this for installing cwm:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...-on-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-belltelusrogers/
Since our note isn't built into ROM Manager, I'm failing to see if theres a connection between that program and what is being done in the above tutorial. Kinda confused here and unsure of the next step. Am i just trying to install cwm or am I running a backup of some kind after doing so?
2. I've installed and ran titanium backup (i'm rooted)
3. http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/d...-flashing-roms-return-stock-odin-picture.html
Is all of this correct for our note as well (obviously replacing the pda with the saurom or collective rom)
Anything else I should do?
I know this is newbish but it seems there's a million ways to do this kind of stuff so I want to be sure I'm doing everything the common way that's done around here so it's easier to troubleshoot etc. if I have any issues.
so since your note is rooted and you don't have the clockwork recovery on your note? if not.
the first link that you post is correct for installing cmw.
or
try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
then flashing Rom.
Dont use the last link you post. it is for Droid.
so the method for flashing a new rom is the same as installing cwm with oden? just simply put my phone in DL mode and open it in pda with oden?
i flashed the cwm using that thread and the oden method. maybe i'm still not understanding what cwm is. am I supposed to do something with it before flashing the rom, or is it something that is just necessary to be flashed onto the phone before flashing the rom? is the titanium backup all I needed to do?
edit: and also will i need to re-setup everything or will restoring all apps+system data with titanium backup after flashing new rom essentially put me back exactly where i was setup wise?

I'm a noob as well and I'm only 1 step ahead of you so far. I'm rooted and just installed cwm. I'm ready to install saurom and based on the research I've done you go into cwm (by pressing both up/down vol and power at same time).
That's where you will install saurom and without rebooting install the att fix. Assuming you downloaded the files and transferred them over to sd card. That's all the info I've gathered so far.
As soon as I installed cwm I immediately made a backup of my stock rom. I highly suggest you backup your stock as well. This is a great easy tutorial on how to do it. If anything goes wrong with installing custom roms you can simply go back to stock.

Not to hijack your thread but I was about to post about this same topic and wanted confirmation on the steps.
1. root the note -check
2. install cwm - check
3. make backup of stock rom - check (or is using titanium backup the same thing?)
4. download "saurom_ATT_APN_US_Fix_.zip" and "SAUROM_XLA2_RCVI.zip" and transfer to sd card.
5. enter cwm mode by hitting up/down vol and power buttons at same time.
6. navigate to the files and install saurom and without rebooting install att fix.
7. reboot and that's it??
Do I need to do anything else?

Not a highjack at all, that's more help than I started with. Hopefully someone can confirm your steps and we can get this flashed! I just made a full backup with cwm as well.
I would say stop using google and search here on XDA in the DEV section for the i717 (the Note) before you wind up flashing a ROM not meant for this phone.
The key here is read, read, read and then read more. Evey thing you need to root, flash CWM (specific version for the i717) and install any custom ROM is here on XDA.
Be VERY careful and understand that if you flash with ODIN (depending on what you flash - system, kernel etc) you may increase your flash counter. Most of the rooting methods and utilities indicate if the counter will increase or not.
TiBa - backups up your apps and setting on booted up
CWM - tool to wipe various areas of the device, flash ROMs and install packages
Nandroid Backup - backups up your ROM and is done once inside CWM.

How to Flash a ROM????
Basic Steps
! Choose the ROM that you want and download its .zip file
!! Transfer the zip file to your phone’s sd card. Do not put it into any folder.
!!! Turn off your phone and reboot into recovery, usually by holding the down button and power button at the same time.
!!!! Do a Nandroid backup
!!!!! Wipe the phone 3 times by clearing cache/factory restore 3 times and wiping dalvik cache and system format
!!!!!! Flash the zip file that you put on your sd card
!!!!!!! Reboot phone

I'm not sure how to do a nandroid backup... not sure what it is. Didn't find any specific topics on it searching here and nothing in the play store. how is this backup different from the backup using cwm recovery mode> backup ?
Are the above steps otherwise good? It seems different ROM's have different instructions for installing them, from what I've gathered. I guess I'm going to try saurom first, btw since I really like the transfuzion theme.

a nandroid back is done from inside CWM. Go to the backup and restore and backup. This will backup your current rom to the SD Card (internal or external depending on which option you pick) in the clockwork mod folder. This will save your current rom exactly how it is. You want to do this before flashing anything generally.
To flash a new Rom, you will want to make sure you have done a nandroid back up, make sure all the necessary files are on your sd card. Boot into CWM (hold vol up and down and power, when it turns off it will vibrate, let go of power and hold vol up and down until you are in CWM). Then you want to wipe all data (factory reset), wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (in advanced menu). Then install zip from sd card, find your rom zip file and flash that. This is what i usually do. I am not 100% sure the complete wipe is necessary for the Note, it was on my old Inspire, so I still do as it is habit and good practice.
I had already posted a response but apparently it disappeared. So I guess I did an n Android backup already with Cwm I just didn't realize that's what it was called.
I guess with those instructions it seems very straight forward. My only question now I think is with regards to the kernel. On the first page in the saurom thread there is talk about using a specific kernel, do I still need to worry about this?

A backup in CWM will save your entire devices settings exactly as you have them, including apps and settings.
Use titanium backup only for app backups. You press menu -> batch -> backup all user apps.
Usually it is stated to not restore apps WITH user settings but I haven't had any problems with saurom after doing such.
Also, I believe saurom uses either da_g's overclocked kernel or holokernal. You don't have to worry about that part as it is baked into the ROM.

Ok, maby this works but you need the Honeycomb Update zip on your Tablet:
Code:
1. Boot into RECOVERY;
2. Flash [I][U]3.2.1r2[/U][/I] update zip;
3. During flash tablet will reboot 3 or 4 times, with 'green dots' screen.
Just before last 3rd dot reboot you've got to hold [B]VOL+[/B] button,
to get to RECOVERY just after flashing complete![B] IMPORTANT[/B]!;
4. Wipe device;
5. DONE.
[SIZE="1"]Wipe just after flash is very important, because if you will not gonna do this,
then it will be bootlooped in start animation, after wipe will boot correctly,
but after another reboot it will gonna boot again into ICS!
So if you will not gonna wipe just after flash, then just start all over again.[/SIZE]

then it will be bootlooped in start animation, after wipe will boot correctly,
but after another reboot it will gonna boot again into ICS!
So if you will not gonna wipe just after flash, then just start all over again.[/SIZE]

Omg, another one i feel really sorry for your problem, i tried to beat the Kernel 9 and above, but it failed and i stopped i can't figure it out, don't even mentioned ICS, but for you it means no rooted ICS aswel, thats hars, good luck with that and i hope for you some other dev will make this thing happen!,
Its a shame that there arren't many "Smart" people with a Sony tablet,

Dont think so as you are installing a stock room, then rooting and then prerooting ics.

Hello guys,
I have a problems, ive Flash my Sam-T859 and it seemed to work fine for almost a month but a few hours ago i was playing a Game (Contract Killer 2) and it just crashed and started doing the boot loop thing.
Ive Been on google all day non stop following instructions that lead to dead ends.
Ive used Odin3_v1.85 and did the "PDA" thing and it passed but went right back into the boot loop.
i read somewhere that a guy had the same problem i did but somehow figured it out. He wasnt sure how he fixed it but he said he thought it was because he needed a legit .Tar file so if someone could direct me to that would be most appreciated.

if you are rooted....
...boot into recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik cache ( dalvik is under advanced )...now reboot.
if you are not rooted...
...boot to stock recovery and wipe cache..reboot. If that doesnt work. Then i would go to sammobile .com and find the original firmware that your device came with and i would odin that...if that doesnt work. Then you are going to need a pit.file and use odin but you will repartition the sdcard this time.
google what ive told you here so you have a better understanding of what im saying.....and let me know.
good luck

alright...i think you have some corrupted data on the sdcard....i had this happen to me twice.
see if you can just wipe data...
... if you cant..then go into mounts and mount/format data..if you get really desperate you can format the sdcard from here...,but i would flash a rom first..the one you were running..that way you have an os to boot to..unless you have easy access to odin and a pc...inwhich case id wipe it and odin the original firmware and root all over again ...
keep me posted on the situation

you need to find the original firmware for your device and flash it in the pda slot in odin...let me look for a guide for your device to make sure....

ok...now were cookin..lol
im also assuming it has a seperate kernal and recovery partition....like my p7510 wifi only variant..
if this is correct...i would either use odin to flash a newer recovery or adb to push the recovery zip file to the device..if you push the zip..just flash it..then reboot recovery and try to do your wipes and flash a rom..
this is a long shot...but im baving trouble finding the original firmware tar..if this doesnt work...i would say our next step would be to flash a kernel in recovery or odin..then flash a rom that is compatible with the kernel..i know this sounds like its redundit....but im thinking your recovery or kernel might be clashing..if not seen it before on this device...but i have seen it on other devices..

well buddy...after reading back through your post...i think you flashed something wrong with odin....but since you have odin mode/download mode and recovery still available...
i think we need to flash a recoveryl with odin....go to droidbasement and download that recovery tar...follow the instruction and flash it with odin,making sure only what is said to be checked in odin is checked.
next....use your pc to push a rom to your device...
boot recovery and wipe data...cache...dalvik cache(under advanced) and format system(under advanced)...then flash rom and gapps...reboot...enjoy
let me know if you cant google what you need and ill link you to the recovery....but im rooting and installing a rom on my buddies new note 3 and its crazy new to me....so im busy...but ill keep checking my notifications about every 20 minutes if you post something...

i prefer the rom in my sig...but any rom kasper_h builds is smooth...but he is only really developing omni rom at the moment and probably the future...the ganboro rom is nice...but it lacks some of the customization i like in a rom...that said,omni rom also lacks the customization i like. but remember...the less resources a rom pulls...the smoother it generally is. so really you just need to read the rom threads and see what fits your taste...
fyi...ive rooted my budddies note3 and a recovery...with a rom soon to follow. so ill keep checking back in about every 10 minutes or so...if you need help...we'll get ya back up tonight..

Hi Folks,
I have just installed CWM recovery V 6.0.4.6 using ROM Manager app in my Galaxy S3 I9300 running on stock android 4.3 . I rebooted the device to check it and it was successfully installed. While I tried to reboot device through an option in the recovery, it showed up two messages as follows,
Message 1:
ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix? THIS CAN'T BE UNDONE
1.No
2.Yes - Disable recovery flash
Message 2:
Root Access Possibly Lost Fix?
THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE
1. No
2. Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)
I selected option "2.Yes - Disable recovery flash" from Message 1 and again option "2. YES fix root (/system/xbin/su)" from Message 2.
Why these messages are getting displayed? Is there any problem now?
Also please let me know whether it will revert to Stock Android Recovery by selecting Option "1.No" from Message 1. If so again I have to flash CWM recovery?
Stock firmware will restore stock recovery on next boot, suggest you read and understand the basics before you damage your phone.
Don't use rom manager on the s3.

Thanks. So shall I revert back to stock recovery by selecting 1.No from message 1 and then flash cwm using odin?. Will it be fine?
I have also read that many folks facing same kinda issue even they flashed CWM recovery using odin.
Please advice that will there be any issues if I flash Cynogenmod 10.2 now?.
Any help on this? Please.

Unless you are trying to unroot your phone it is fairly safe to say Yes to both.
If you already have the custom rom of your choice able to be flashed, then you should just go ahead and flash it instead of rebooting and this message should not be seen again.

I have seen this a couple of times on this forum... I have recently switched from TWRP to CWM recovery. The reason that I switched was due to TWRP having updates that bork major parts of the phone. I used TWRP for over a year on this phone. Now that I use CWM, the only thing that I have noticed different is that the updates seem to be more quality controlled for CWM than TWRP...
With that said, do you care to elaborate on your advice to use TWRP over CWM?
Do you have any further reasoning on your advice?
Thanks!
Edit: As far as the APK component to each recovery, Rom Manager updates CWM without issue. I could never get goomanager to update twrp properly. I chalked it up to bad programming... *Shrug* Not really an issue for me, but it tells me a thing or two about quality control...

Rom manager isn't cwm recovery, they're 2 different things. It's better to install cwm recovery through means other than rom manager to avoid problems. The advice wasn't against using cwm recovery.

My point is that of the two, Rom Manager is the one that works. I have never had issues using Rom Manager to install recoveries. Although, I always install the first time using fastboot... So my anecdotal impressions may not apply here.
Care to explain your statement? (Which is the intent of my original message. Why the Koushik XDA witchhunt?)
I would search, but XDA search is borderline unusable.
Thanks!

None of the stock roms I've used have ever tried to restore stock recovery, it's just left there from other devices that do it.

I can see my old android files still present in the internal memory. I did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache but still the files are present. Will it cause any problem if I remove those files? If No will a factory reset work to remove those files?
