Hi, I know there's a thread saying that the version XLPY is bricking phones. I just connected my Note to the Kies and it asked if I wanted to upgrade. I thought it was a newer version of Gingerbread, so I clicked to upgrade.
So far the phone is good, no problem at all.
(This phone was ordered on amazon.de and sent from germany).
Anyone with a german phone can confirm to me if there are problems and if I should go back to gingerbread or if it's safe to keep this ICS? Thank you,
Marco Silva.
it should be safe if upgrade thru samsung kies.
if you still afraid of that, flash another stock rom thru odin3.

I'm not using german version, but it should be safe to use official ICS as long as you don't do factory reset or wipe in recovery. If you wanna do that juz follow the posted link.
The German version is -not- safe. I'm pretty much in the same boat, new Note owner, did the OTA update.
The Kernel version you get is 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
As far as I gleaned from reading on here, that version is fully capable of bricking the phone on a wipe/factory reset.
Ok thanks ill swap it then. Thanks for the help.

Hello, i have a Korean Galaxy S, Anycall SHW-m110s,
using steps I found in this forum I upgraded it to froyo firmware DI29, using odin.
The build seems to be an incomplete build and it is quite laggy and buggy. I would like to restore and revert back to the original build, android 2.1 eclair, ECLAIR.DI03, however I'm having trouble finding out how to do that.
If anyone would be so kind as to instruct me how to do this, or instruct me as to where I might be able to find out how to do this, I would be so very appreciative.
Thank you for your time.

I assume you flashed di29 with odin. To go back you would flash di03 with odin the exact same way. If you do not have the rom you can search for "M110S-NPS-IMAGE-REV03-DI03-1545-USER.tar" and I am sure you will find it on numerous sites. After flashing di03 you will likely have to go into recovery mode and wipe fs and cache.
U risk bricking ur phone if u revert to eclair from froyo.

Of course there is always a risk but I have flashed the between dg14, di03 and di29 on an shw-m110s numerous times without any issues.
From my personal experience, as long as you are only flashing the PDA portion I wouldn't worry too much.
so how do i flash bak to eclair jm1 from froyo jp6 ? i read in different posts its possible , but all those who tried bricked their phones

This thread is discussing a specific model sgs, shw-m110s. It has different hardware and firmware.
You are obviously using a different model. You should ask others who use a similar model.

I Dont know if i should wait for the LC1 To get rooted or downgrade and root and uppdate to LC1
I Only need "Root" (Super user)
DOnt wanna flash any other rooms.. wanna keep the stock..
But what i can see that i have to downgrade and root and then uppgrade again. Wich is a pain in the ass and i loose all data
Now a great way was this one

The point isn't about rooting, it's about being able to do a proper search. If you can't search, you're not going to get your answer.
There are 2 distinct threads that contain the LC1. They are both pre-rooted. One is odexed. The other is deodexed. If you do a search, you will find them both. If you are smart, you will read the entire thread BEFORE you flash the ROM because there are instructions within the thread that tell you the exact steps to do and to avoid so that you don't wipe your data. I know, because I took the time to search for the threads, and read both threads ENTIRELY. I followed the directions and had a pre-rooted LC1 installed in only a few minutes. I didn't loose any data or apps. I was also a Noob to Samsung at the time.
If that sounds too hard for you, then you should leave your Note on the ROM it is on right now and wait for the OTA updates.

i end upp rooting with Bodivas pre rooted stock LC1..
Now i have 2 more questions wich i yet have no answer for wich are these,
1: If i Only root, and dont install a new kernel ...
Will i be able to make future fota uppdates ? from Samsung..And will the root still remain.
Im fr Sweden with LC1
2: If i Change the kernel to get CWM and get some kind of a Total backup! Since it seems that it cant be done by Titanium?!
Will i still be able to get new stock uppdates by kies? and will the Root still be there?
I was planing to install the kernel you rekomended
CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip
With mobile Odin.
So lets see what happens.. But damn with a rooted phone it feels nice to be able to controll every thing and skipp adss and anoying unwanted startups..
1. Yes, no
2. Yes, no
For future updates, get the update here @ xda and flash with mobile odin which will persist root. Updates show up here as fast as they are released.

With a non stock kernel from a different rom then the stock rom you have, most likely not.

Easiest is to download stock rom, root it with just root only method
Best practice backup efs, Google it I will not explain you need do this only once and save backup later to computer.
Backup with titanium pro, and perform backups on kies. All you need to do to keep your info.
No custom kernels and remain ota able, and ultimately when ICS comes you remain upgradeable as it will not come OTA but though Kies
-> hmm, I lost my ability to upgrade thought Kies. Even with stock ROM. So be carefull whichever way you go. You can always upgrade thought a stock firmware ROM, you just might loose upgradability thought Kies. Also note, upgrading throught Kies will remove root in I think all instances.

Its conformed! I lost abilty to uppdate by kies as well...
Good thing that most likely, ics will be ota to. Which I find odd but highly convenient. Contriary to my earlier statement I was wrong.

I posted this question back in early october and no correct answers were given and thread was deleted. so here it goes again. I updated from stock hc to official stock ics through kies i guess? whichever is through the settings - check for updates on the tab. i then asked how to root to jb and people tried telling me one way and then others said no dont do it that way since im running stock official ics. i dont know what odin is, i dont know what flashing is and i dont know what kernels are. i would please like simple simple step by step instructions on how to root to the latest AOKP jb from official ics. i am sorry for the edginess but im just so frustrated i bought this tab and paid 330 for it in sept and I wish I would have waited. this tab is just to slow and id like the extra speed and features from jb as well as an option to oc the processor. $70 more and two months of waiting i could have got the nexus 10 .. oh and i have the wifi only 7310. PLEASE HELP!!

I have a tab i957. It wasn't the easiest to get jb on. Which tab do you have?
The first thing you need is Odin. Google Odin 3 ver 1.85.
Then you'll need to flash a recovery, either twrp or clock work mod, make sure it's specific to the tab you have. you flash it with Odin
Then you'll need to down load a jb Rom on to your device,again make sure it's for your device. Then you flash it through the recovery.
The stickies will have more specific info. There are no simple steps. You have to learn by reading and trying.

I have a Galaxy S Advance that I purchased in Hong Kong, although I live in the United States. The phone has been working very well on T-Mobile's network for over one year. The phone is running stock gingerbread. I have never flashed any roms.
Yesterday, the phone's touchscreen stopped working. I didn't drop it, and it didn't get wet. It just suddenly stopped allowing touch input. I thought that it might be a software issue, so I booted into recovery and did a factory reset. After re-booting, the phone still isn't responding to touch.
What else can I do to check whether this is a software problem?
Should I try flashing the stock firmware? If so, how do I know which PDA number to use?
Thank you!
Or you could go to the local store with your phone cuz I think this has nothing to do with the firmware...

Can a firmware error cause this problem? I'd love to take it into the shop, but as I said I purchased it in Hong Kong. I live in the US. I suppose I may have to mail it back, but was hoping someone may have some advice.
All of the buttons at the bottom are responsive to touch, but the screen is not.

I guess it's an error in the screen. Or else, try flashing JellyBean XXLQ4 on your device using Odin and the USB Cable. And if THAT doesn't do it. Use CoCore Kernel ( root required ), I read it improves the sensitivity of the touchscreen so you may try that. If that doesn't work, boot into recovery ( volume up + home + power ) and make the reset and cache wipe and flash JB XXLQ4 again. Then go to the nearest phone store, act as if you never tried to install a kernel or rooted ur phone and look if they can find the problem. If found, send to hongkong.

Thank you for the advice. Will upgrading to JB via Odin void the warranty? I know that JB hasn't been officially released in Hong Kong yet. Does Samsung care?
Nope. This JB is stock firmware so it can not void your warranty here in Holland I also had some problems, went to samsung with the JB ( which is not yet released ) and it wasn't a problem.

Do not, and I repeat, do not forget to root your phone before you flash the CoCore Kernel. You can root using Shaaans method. It's found in the Dev section and it's quite simple.
Let me know if it worked out

This is a noob question, but if I use the wrong PDA version will it brick the phone? From what I've read it seems that moving to JB is fine even if it's software from a different country (Serbia/Russia). What if I flash the "wrong" country's gingerbread version?
Again, thank you all for the answers. This is very helpful.

claim your warranty first, if you have international warranty.. this might be a hardware problem..
for all you said, it suddenly lost touch function..
point is.. let the service center figure out first the cause of the problem before trying to solve it on your own..
after that, you can try JB firmware and modifying it to alot of stuff..

Hi All
I am from Bangladesh and looking for some HELP!!!
I have just bought one Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 from one of my friend. He used it for last one year. It was pretty much ok with all the settings. I am always little bit curious about new machines and when I got it I thought it was not updated with all the setting. Like a stupid I have tried to root it with CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.TAR and it showed “FAIL” and went dead. After that I downloaded another file dbdata.rfs.tar and made it active again. But unfortunately everything erased down from my tab.
After that I got someone from UK who helped to setup The Overcome Experience in my Tab. Everything is fine except my IMEI what is shown fake as 004999010640000
Model # GT-P1000
Firmware Version # 2.3.6
Baseband Version - P1000XXJPZ
Kernel Version # 2.6.35.7, Overcome-v4.0.0 # 40
Build Number # Overcome 7 Series v4.1.0
I don't know what else to try. I have searched the forums here and it seems that the answer is not there or I am not in the right page.
I would appreciate any help or other ideas!!!!
Regards
Noor
The answer is there.
Usually is by flashing stock ROM.
You may want to try overcome's GB stock safe v5.
The link is in my signature.
After flashing stock, check your IMEI. hopefully it is restored.

Hi Priyana,
Thank you so much for your quick response! The same I have followed to install my Overcome Experience (as per XDA policy couldn't paste the link here)
If you insist I can again reinstall it from your given link or if you adv to install any other operating system like gingerbread or jelly bean or any other OS. Actually frankly speaking I am very new on this. Thanks again and waiting fro your suggestion.
Regards
Noor
I don't insist.
But so far the only way to recover IMEI is either by having a backup of your efs,
Or by restocking.
Some people here couldn't get back their IMEI even after restock.
Not sure why.
But it is up to you to try or to leave it.
Upgrading to higher os won't help.

Thanks Priyana! Actually my EFS folder is empty. Is the Overcome Experience is the latest OS?
well, overcome 4.1 (the ROM) is a modified samsung stock 2.3.6
So in a sense, yes, it is the latest that is close to the official released but better in performance.
Samsung didn't update the OS for P1000 anymore, so if you want ICS or JB, it will have to come from CM/AOKP/Paranoid etc
