Hi folks,
When I back - up a rom i can't restore to it, always ends up saying "restore complete" the phone reboots and hangs on the samsung galaxy s screen for over 5mins, then reboots into cmr with various E: errors, such like cannot mount cache, or cannot cache/mount/log.
Also the rom i was using was cm7 rc10 and when this rom is installed the phone reboots straight into the rom where as it should reboot into cmr.
Any ideas ?
Depends on what rom your trying to restore? And what bootloader is on your device

You cannot restore a nandroid backup from a Samsung ROM directly over cm7 via cwm. You need to reflash a stock ROM via odin first. Then you can flash your nandroid backup from cwm.

Guys am in ICS LP8 INDIA. I could get that pointer in text box but if I touch the pointer it doesn't pop up select, copy, paste icons???? How enable this back?

It's on the top right of your screen... 3 buttons for copy paste and so on...

Some apps, stupendiously dont have that functionality, but when you press on word you want to copy paste, you get that box in top corner.
You will find ICS manual on Samsung website, on the note page. Handy for cross reference

Ok its tricky, reboot, try replying with qoute, then press on word untill you see as attached.
If it still isnt working, then it really sucks. Maybe someone else has seen this before?

Crap that sucks. Best I can suggest is revert to gb by pc odin, in gb do factory reset from dialer, wipe everything and then pc odin ics, again. And then perform the rooting instructions to the letter.
For install guide see dr ketans thread.
Unless someone has better idea?

Alright am getting to work now.. I'll try tonight as you said and get back to you..
Edit : should I do a full wipe and factory reset in ICS itself?

For rooting
1.Boot into recovery
2. Select cwm.zip from external memory
3. Install by confirming.
4. Reboot into cwm recovery.
5. Select su busybox.zip from internal memory.
6. Instal by confirmng.

Whatever you do, do not perform factory reset unless you have safe ICS kernel.
BTW, double tapping words or tapping and holding on text for a couple of seconds pops out cut/copy/paste menu.
In certain applications for example - Gmail, there's even search option.
Hope this helps.
Corrected if double tab doesnt work.

What do you mean by safe kernel? You mean stock kernel?

If stock kernel is the safe kernel, then I'm the CEO of Samsung and I'm going to give away S3 to every Note owner for free...kidding.
Please read the PSA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
All stock ICS kernels including CF-Root kernels for ICS have superbrick bug.
Your device would get bricked if you perform data wipe/nand restore using those affected kernels.
DAFUQ, Franco R3, SpeedMod 3-3 are safe kernels.
Kernel used in official cyanogenmod is also safe kernel.
All known Gingerbread kernels are safe kernels.
Before you start flashing custom ICS roms make sure you read the respective OPs throughly.

It seems you were away from the forum for a while.
Dig in Q&A and General section, you would find a lot of bricked my note, write failure threads.
Hey
Im abit confused as to what these programs do. Now ive yet to root but i nees to know do i need both of these or do they all do the same thing. I would like to try out some roms and maybe install themes etc but im confused which i need or if i need any of them at all lol
Appreciate the help....rooting a desire was so much easier.
Thanx

Mobile odin is rom flasher, just like pc odin. What you can do with pc odin, same you can do with mobile odin, without need of pc. Even i can say better then pc odin.
Titanium backp is backup tool for your data, like watever stuff you have installed.
You need both
Here short order how you can go.
Use titanium to backup data
Use mobile odin to flash rom
Wipe data (with safe kernel)
Restore data with titanium

One more..
U can flash kernel n modem using mobile odin..
and only tar extension that can flash through mobile odin for rom n kernel n bin extension for modem..

What if there's a need to back up e existing rom before using Odin or mobile odin?
In case something goes wrong? Or does it mean 'starting from stock all over'?
Or does titanium perform full backup of rom aka system other than apps n data?
To backup complete rom + data Inc application use nandroid backup.
Titanium backup only apps and data not rom.

Have you tried to install the Stock ROM via Odin?
Hope you made a nandroid backup before this.

Hi, I recently tried to root my Galaxy Exhibit, but now it's broken, nothing will load, it all force closes. My home, menu and search buttons do not work, I tried to restore it by using factory reset, but that just messed it up more. I plunged it into Samsung Kies, but it won't recognize the device. How can I restore the phone back, unroot, to factory settings.
This is what I did, first I downloaded TWO custom kernel (or roms, idk the difference.) The first one worked like a charm it was the root stock 1.8 but it was too stock, I wanted ICS so, I restored and I put a different rom/kernel in and booted it up, and boom everything is messed up, my kernel version has not changed, I tried using cwm recovery, but it didn't do anything.
Thanks

Well easy fix, in cwm wipe system or ROM 3 times wipe cache/dalvic cache. Then you can flash ICS and gapps, be advised there is no further development for ICS so I would suggest any 4.1 ROMs or even the 4.2 ROMs. Make sure you flash gapps

this is why people need to do research. if you dont know the difference between roms and kernels dont flash
Amen lol
