Hi guys,
i have a kgl-790 which i've had for about 2 years and now the screen is flashing. having got the wiring checked out by an electrician we think it's software related. so i would like to know what is the stock mcu and android version that would've come with the unit so i can update it to that.
appreciate any help.
Cheers.

Just upgraded a colleagues XDAII to the latest O2 ROM and now he has no sound on the speaker. Wired headset works OK. I upgraded my unit a couple of months ago with no problem. The supplier is saying downgrade the ROM to the original version and if the problem is still there they will treat as a hardware failure and fix it. Has anyone else seen this problem after a ROM upgrade - any ideas on how to fix it? Does anyone know where to get the original ROM?
I'm treating this as hardware failure coincidental with the ROM Upgrade, so will see what the supplier says when they look at it.
No sound
Did you ever find a solution to the problem you had with your XDA sound loss. I have had the same problem with mine, but nobody seems to know the answer.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and have a questions about a Samsung Galaxy Note N717 that I am using at working to test a new app we have been approached with. The Note was bought in Korea and is a Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note N717 LTE.
It is running Android 2.3 and We need it to run Android 4.0 at least for the application to work.
From the research I have done, I have seen other having similar issues upgrading the software. I recently had a friend who is a Samsung Qualified Repair Agent try to install the latest software however it has crash his PC and now the Handset.
I need to get his phone working again with Android 4.0 on it. Can anyone suggest anywhere near London, UK that can do it? Or provide me with the correct details of how to do it, like a walkthrough almost. I am fairly tech savvy and have worked with mobiles for the past 7-8 years but his has totally confused me.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I am sure this is way out of my league and I myself cannot provide a solution. it is very possible that the device has been bricked. I am US based and the only fix I am aware of here is called a J-TAG which costs about $50 here and takes about a week.
whether that is the final diagnosis or not? im sure someone else will chime in.
but isn't part of the solution knowing what you did wrong? I don't think you provided enough information.
maybe you need to check again your device for what it is...........I ran a google search for n717 myself (which is what you should do) and the main result in that search is an address so I don't know.
also tried variances of 717 and found everything from flight path software to medication.
I originally thought maybe you had a Canadian version bought in Korea ???
anybody is going to need more info..........
what phone is ?
software currently?
what did you try to flash?
was what you tried to flash for the right model phone?
can you get download mode?
does phone even vibrate?
at this point could be anything from wrong software to something as simple as a stuck power button
gonna have to narrow things down a bit........if you don't know what you did, how is anybody else?
A Note N717 is a knockoff I believe. It is not a samsung phone and will not run samsung ROMs.
Thanks for your help
The phone is a Samsung N717 Note, the software was Gingerbread 2.3 until Samsung tried to reinstall the software. it has now crashed the device. As mentioned I need the latest version of android or better than 2.3 at least. I currently do not have the phone so cannot try vibrate or download mode.
Under the battery it is either a n717 or i717, it is a LTE device with an aerial that can come out.
What can zendesk do for me?
I would really like to get this resolved, from the research I have done it can be sorted but it is beyond my capabilities.
Thanks

well which is it??? I717 or N717. kind of important.
and if Samsung TRIED to re-install software and then it crashed, it would then be their responsibility. I would be asking them where your new phone is.
if you don't make them responsible, then I am sorry to say, what kind of chump are you?
either you are not telling us everything, or you did not tell Samsung everything.
whats the DEALIO ?
Guys, I REALLY need some help here and I'm desperate. I'll give you some background info here. About 3 months ago I bought a used Transformer Prime, at the time I bought it I didn't realize it had CM9 on it, I didn't check out the tablet out enough. Now I'm not into rooting or flashing ROM's AT ALL...I couldn't care less about this stuff, just give me a product that works in stock form and I'll be happy. Now here's the problem, the speaker sounds like complete ass. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or if it's just an issue with CM9. Has anyone experienced an issue like that with flashing a ROM? I gave the tablet to a friend because "he knows everything" and jerked me around for 3 months with it, didn't even touch it so I'm on my own. I just don't want to go through the hassle of replacing a speaker that might now be damaged when it's a software problem.
I guess I need to know if it's possible that it's a software issue. The speaker volume is extremely low and very muddled. I have a feeling it's the speaker but I don't know. I don't know about enough of this stuff and no one wants to touch a tablet, for some reason if it was a phone the shops around here would be happy to help.
I might just sell this thing and take a huge loss and never cheap out on buying a used product.
Thanks guys.
I'm sure this have been covered, although after doing a couple of days of research I can't seem to find the answer, so sorry in advance if this has been gone though already.
I'm on cyanogenmod kernel version 3.4.66-cyanogenmod-geaa7c91 with android version 4.3.1 and my dock doesn't work. won't charge or anything. While reading I found everyone had this issue when samsung upgraded to jellybean. So I assumed rooting-flashing was in order. I got it all done and still nothing. Also, galaxy s4 will not dock to it either. I'm guessing my dock might be faulty, although as a new unit I'd imagine it should work fine.
Do I need to run a different kernel/rom? Revert back to ICS stock samsung crap?
I'm not really worried about which rom/kernel I'm running. I'm just trying to dock this to my tv and run xbmc from it. It's a spare phone and I figured this was a better idea than buying a cheap computer to do the job, also much smaller.
If someone could answer my question here, or point me in the correct direction that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Hey fellas,
so I recently got a used S6 Edge and there was a problem whenever I used headphones. The left earbud works fine but there is hardly any sound coming out of the right one(checked with several headphones, its a phone issue), really just minimal, very very quiet. I naturally figured this was a hardware error so I went to my local phone repair guy and had that part replaced.
Now, unfortunately the problem still isn't solved. With the new replacement it has gotten a little bit better, but the right earbud is still a lot quieter than the left one. So the repair guy said its a software issue.
Do you guys know anything about that?
I'm not rooted and on the official 5.1.1. Just tried factory resetting but that didn't really help. Any suggestions or anything I can look into that might solve this issue, be it rooted or not?
Cheers
push; anybody?
one last desperate try?
