Wow.. your request was a bit hard to follow but it looks like you're new and you're looking for some info? If you haven't done so already, check out the reference thread. It has a TON of information that you can easily search.

You need to read and understand what you are doing before you think of starting .
ROM flashing may brick your phone and voids warranty .Plus ROMs tend to be a work in progress rather than a finished article .
Not trying to put you off just that a lot of newbies jump in with both feet and some of them drown xda rescues others .

Hi, I have no 3BR either but I found an app that gives you the 3BR, it's called Quick Boot and is available in the market, hope that helps.
brian.
That app just goes to force shut down all the time
Jj i understand that you can brick your phone. Ive messed with a psp and that took days of reading. Just need to get this 3 button working and then go from there

I restored download mode on my phone using this guide, you need to read it very carefully though, as I bricked my phone on the first time trying (used odin v1 instead of 1.3), luckily if you do brick then you can use the download mode jig.
got it going ha ha now try to find out how to clock this baby
is anyone can help me with that would be great.

better get the reading glasses out. thanks for that
from what guides ive read through they all seem to be for people who know what there doing.
dont get me wrong i build my own computers (not exactly rocket science) and ive flished my gpu and ive flash WII's and psp's although i did have to do alot of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
all seem to be going over my head a little
OP updated with another question. dont want to keep opening new threads. so if someone could help i would be grateful thank you
of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
No all you can do is read whats posted first ..
Noob guides are of no use 99% of noobs dont read guides .
Overclocking most definitely advanced users .
User must be able to recover from bad flash and no how to flash via Odin via CPW update get into download mode and use a recovery jig .

htc hd7 7.0.7392.0 update version unlock

htc hd7 7.0.7392.0 update version no unlock help
Can you please elaborate on what the problem is?
htc hd7 7.0.7392.0 update version not unlock
my problem does not unlock after updating version 7.0.7392.0
try downgrading back to old and unlocking it then applying the registry patch that keeps it unlocked for "NODO" that actually helped me out in the long run before i needed it and im still dev unlocked
good luck

ok lets seee, i have had the phone for very little so ill try to use my little skills i know to help out
well connect it to the zune software, and there should be, on the update inside settings for the phone, a "restore" button for the previous that you had before. i have not done this but im sure it works to downgrade it to what it was before.
from there just unlock it again if it needs it (im not sure if the restore point saves that as well). and search around in the forum or try this one and follow steps carefully for the registry edit which will keep the phone unlocked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974
then after that and you have everything good to go, try again to update and it should work and still be unlocked
i did the step before the new update was here so im sure it works
good luck, sorry if its too much reading or anything, its just the way things are and if you really want it. you'll do fine as long as you follow it well
htc hd7 7.0.7392.0 update version not unlock
Friends for 2 weeks but still could not unlock the 7004 or 7008, respectively, what should I do after downloading and installing the rum you give link where can I download a simple and clear explanation of what should I do please help
What to do!!
Here by i request you my friends,im very new for Xda..
I just had updated my hd7 to 7.0.7392.0 yesterday..i need to unlock my phone. anyone please help me in a step by step way,how to downgrade,so that i can unlock my phone easily please..
thanks in advance for the helping hand..
just go here, this works and its perfectly well informed with instructions..
i tried explaining it a more faster way.. but oh well not everyone gets it in a short version.
here before you go and and follow instructions from the link... to downgrade just go and connect your device to your computer and run zune. when your phone finishes syncing go to your phones settings in zune (not settings on the phone). then look for where you check for updates for you phone, click on that. then a button should appear, where the info is shown of that; it says "restore" click it and restore it to a previous version which is 7004 or 7008 then when that is done.
go here and read some more!
follow those instructions to the dot and then after that enjoy your unlocked phone and update all the way back to 7392
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974
you probably don't need to go past step 2 since they allready pushed out NODO and the 7392 update with the security patch.
that should do it. thats the way i did it, and should work for you if you follow all the instructions.
not restoring
friend thnx for the reply.. but its getting back to 7.0.7390 not 7004 or 7008!!!
what to do?
weird... what version of the OS did you have before that? did it come with 7392 when you got your phone?
that would explain that problem... since it didn't have the restore point of previous version on your computer to back up.
the only other way from that is to flash it i guess...
i haven't flashed the HD7 yet but i used to do it alot back when i used my HTC touch diamond.
im pretty sure you can search on the forums for a stock ROM for your phone in that case and flash it with whatever ROM for the provider you have.
the search is your best bet to find it.
sorry i can't help with the flashing or anything but im sure the forums will help if you do a little searching
after that, just follow what i said and you should be good to go.
i know it seems like alot to do... but you won't regret it for what you get in the end. custom ringtones, tweaks and homebrew apps
good luck
thnks
thnks tom..
no it wsnt came with 7392.. it was with version 7004 or 7008. i dont know perfectly.. but im sure it was not 7390 or 7392..
i dint knw much more about xda at that time, accidently i enterd the xda wen i ws searching 'hw to port android to my cell'.. & i saw all the threads one by one..thus i came to knw we can unlock our phone & can be install apps to my phone.
bt wen i bought my phone it dint hv cut copy update,& i done it via zune..& then 7392 day before yesterday!!
ok ill try other way wt u said,will loose warranty in doing that?
for flashing a ROM no.. just make sure you get the one for your phone and the one for your company (carrier) to make sure everything is back to zero.. (the way you had it when it came brand new in the box)
and i can't stress it enough.. read... read... and then before doing anything to your phone.. read again.. and for the love of everything.. read while your doing it for safety precautions.. we all don't want you to go and brick your phone because of something you missed.. (and when i say read.. i mean instructions and all the info you need)
because nobody wants an expensive brick on their hands.
sorry if i act paranoid.. i just hate when that happens to someone that doesn't pay attention or tries to do it the "easy" "fast" way and thinks they can do it when they don't
Good Luck!

does the pc recognise the tab at all? Sadly TheATHEiST is almost certainly correct in saying you've bricked the tab.
He is also correct in saying that you really should have read the instructions. Yes, really. If you reply and say you did follow instructions, please post a link to said instructions.
The roms are for the 3g tabs.
as far as I know, no one has made a custom rom/kernel for the wifi only tab. Its not the same because your wifi tab has different components compared to the 3g tab.

he remind me by someone bricked his tab because he flashed overcome over P1010 and even there is BIG note in overcome says DO NOT FLASH IF YOU P1010 .. and he replied me back , owh really i missed this
to the OP you see like Stoney says , check if your pc can still recognize your tab , if not , congrats you bricked your tab ... the nearest samsung service center will fix it for u hope u under the warranty , if so , u just say ( what is happened to my tab , i slept at night and i left it on the charger , i woke up i found it like this DEAD ) what makes my tab DEAD ? ? with some action acting with drama , u probably will fix it under the warranty ...
NOTE : this is not the right place for posting Question ...
good luck with SAMSUNG and don't forget the much drama u got the much u'll success to convince them
who agree with me , THUMBS UP

No point in crying, I was been blunt with you because you have nobody to blame except yourself.
If you had READ the topic(s) properly you would NOT be in this situation. You have flashed a software to your device that has a different bootloader then yours, hence you've bricked your device.
If your device is new you should take it straight back to the shop and plead dumb, say you put your device on charge and next day it wouldn't turn on properly. Alternatively say you tried to update it via Samsung Kies.
If they refuse to fix for you then you will need to pay for JTAG repair.
Congratulations, you have learned the hard way, next time learn the easy way and read properly.

[Q] soft bricked ! maybe...

Hello there,
I just bought a galaxy note <well a week ago> and now i ended up soft bricking it.
here's how i did it -
I went to my friends place thinking of rooting my phone while he told me to add a custom rom to it . well since he was experienced i let him do it . he added a firmware of i9200(chinese ). well it worked now i found some chinese system applications that i didn't need and while searching on net how to do it i found a firmware of n7000 ics online and decided to flash it in. since i was at home i thought i would be able to do it myself and did what i shouldn't have done. i followed every step they said online and started the downloading of the rom but unfortunately when pc odin was at it's end i mean the end of downloading i actually disconnected the cable ( what the f*** was i thinking) . now i tried to reinstall the same rom but couldn't - pc odin always showed setting up connection or something like this and then stalled for hours ... i thought of flashing some other rom but it didn't - same thing <stalling for hours> . Now what should i do??? help me - maybe i can go to samsung customer care service and ask them to reset my phone but since the usb debugging was on last time when i turned my phone off , kies might not do the job . can u suggest me a way.
one more thing i can't flash stock rom into it and <i am dumb> i didn't backed up my stock rom.
p.s. my flash count is 2 . i can't load my phone into recovery mode but can into download mode and can't do it with a jig (am from india plus i am a little low on technical know how).
i can't hard reset it either. a suitable help would be appreciated ,pls

I have no experience with this, but I did keep this video link on how to put a bricked Samsung into download mode just in case I needed it. The usb jig is the same for both the captivate and the Note from what I have read:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ung-captivate-usb-jig-video-start-finish.html
If you are able to enter download mode then Just try with different version of PC Odin , like V1.83, V1.85, V1.87. and do not worry about Stock ROM you can always download it from below link.

Rajan , bro my problem is something different. the roms i am trying to insert in my phone was via the odin i used earlier to flash my first rom. and it went successfully . but last time the second rom i inserted was interrupted during download and am not able to add anymore of them. now i have talked to samsung care and they told me to bring my phone along with the bill maybe they can do it. even though my warranty is done for, but i think i can believe them . yet if there are any other suggestions pls tell me or should i give it to samsung care. I really don't wanna keep my phone rooted so i have no problem flashing stock but it's not happening. CAN KIES HELP?
p.s i have used all 1.85 , 1.87 and 1.83 version no use.

Dont take it service centre.If you do so also dont say them you flashed custom rom.Then they wont fix it under warranty.Dont worry now.
Try different usb ports,uninstalling drivers and reinstalling it and try again.And as you are noob I recommend not to flash ICS customs at the moment.Stay with GB
I say go to your friend first who rooted your phone then ask him to try the various methods given in the forum recovering from softbrick.
i have read in some other websites that i will need a pit file to restore my phone + the rom file while checking repartition and auto time fe: reset in odin 1.83 then maybe i will be able to return back to gb . do u think this is ok for me to do .
p.s i live in chandigarh while my friend has moved to gurgaon so no chance to go to his place. and i have talked to customer care and told them everything. they told me to take the phone to service centre and they will help me.
now tell me what are my options!?

wait . what? what is this red pill and all .. i think you can save me but i would liike you to brief me about the procedure plus i read this - i need a (wipe) rom to be able to reflash my rom or something like this .
p.s i am still downloading my firmware ...
but would be better if i get the info i need before hand!
dude.. don't panic... I don't think ur phone is dead... best is to buy a jig... try on eBay... I got it for 200rs in eBay... I don't think that's a big deal for any one with a note .. I bought it even before experimenting because I thought some thing like this might happen....
its safest way to remove the triangle and get into recovery mode... as somebody else suggested flashing red pill also works ... search in development section for abyss kernel... ull find it...

its a kernel with a custom recovery.Its like CWM(Clock Work Mod).You could find it in the development section.Download the kernel.Could you get into recovery mode by turning off the phone,holding "vol up+home button+powerbutton"?

wenn connecting to Kies at firmware Kies says something like LC1. lb2 (XXX) as product code? if so they have changed the board on the service center and they haven't activate the Pcode on your phone google "Pcode not active" you will find few posts till now only ppl from Germany had it who send their phones to service center via Saturn/Media Markt ist guess it was/is a technician you was sleeping on the seminare/briefing how to change the board on Note. hope it will help you if it is that try to replace your phone, had the XXX Pcode after service center got a replacement. after a month of arguing with the salesman.

Uninstall the Odin in your PC and install it again to see if it works.
i am pretty much sure that they didn't change the mother board. they must have added the firmware that's all as my mboard wasn't damaged at all , it was just that the battery failed when i gave it to samsung people that's why my phone overheated when they charged it and that's when the battery must have been destroyed maybe due to that overheating they must have thought to change mboard (but they didn't cause those engineers must have changed the battery prior to examining my phone for the problem). AND i didn't have pc odin on my THIS pc to start with. it was in my laptop and kies didn't even reckoned my phone there well that's why i installed kies on HERE . i guess service center people can update it the same way they installed this firmware here..... what do u suggest?
AND Braxos Pcode is active --- it's something :
GT-N7000ZBAINU
and no, the current firmware info kies shows is something like ---
N7000DDLC1/N7000ODDLC1/N7000DDLC1/N7000DDLC1(INU)
(now i think they have done something wrong - it's all n7000ddlc1 here. what is this? )
GUYS can u also tell me what does your firmware version shows (just for reference , pls do it!)
p.s my phone is still in warranty since they fixed my phone free of cost plus they also replaced the battery for free . before my phone was sent to service center my phone had a flash count of two yet they fixed it under warranty(yay!).And thank you everyone!
MY ADVICE TO NEWBIES----
If your phone is soft bricked and you don't know what to do and you think you will make the matter even worse then don't do anything to permanently brick it . you guys should go to service center , they might even fix it for u for free just like they did it for me!
