Anything New Regarding OTA ICS Update? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been awhile since I've been around, last time I was here it looked as if going to ICS from GB on a stock Note wasn't a good idea. Has anything changed regarding that? I'm vaugely aware of an onboard chip issue which will brick your phone if you do a factory reset after upgrading and looking around that seems to still be the case. Is everything ok if you just don't reset?
I will say though with the last GB update my batt was draining very fast...someone suggested a factory reset and the difference was dramatic...so I imagine not having that option after OTA ICS...may suck?

What sort of set up are you running there?
Stock, non-rooted N1? Or did you upgrade to FroYo over an existing install using Paul's zip? Any applications installed? When is the phone freezing?
Would love to help, but I think we're going to need a little bit more information from you first.

Previously rooted N1 back to stock rom prior installing froyo from Paul's direct install file for rooted N1 because I lacked stock recovery image.
Basic apps installed like ebuddy news apps etc. didn't install anything different from old install.
Like I mentioned phone stalls in while in sleep mode. Need to pull battery. Cannot soft or hard reset phone.
Ive been reading a lot on xda and didnt notice this occurring in pther phones thats y i decided to open a new thread.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Did you wipe? If not, usually a wipe helps. I wiped and have not had a single issue of FC...Freezing or anything. I went from Enom to Wipe to Paul's Zip with Radio.
I have the same problem. Until now the screen stayed black after the other party ended the call. Had to pull battery 3 times.
Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.
Im om pre-rooted frf50 from paul. Gonna try with an older radio..

does it work?
Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.
I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.
Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.
Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.
You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.
Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

I haven't had any issues for a few days as well. Still wondering if it had to do with the battery level.

[Q] What happens when I do a "Reset to factory settings" on my o2x that is using a CR

[Q] What happens when I do a "Reset to factory settings" on my o2x that is using a CR
Hi All,
What happens when one does a factory reset on the o2x when it is rooted + using a custom firmware?
I'm currently using the MCR fr17 Fear Kill Edition. What happens when I perform a Factory Reset in recovery?
The reason I'm asking is because I managed to find some fixes for the battery drain issue for o2x but it requires us to do a factory reset. Not sure if it works but I wanna try it.
Battery life on the o2x is extremely lousy Unhappy with it.

Can u tell me how to fix the battery drainage? Coz ive done everything,even going back to stock using nvflash..
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA Premium App
It should work.
If it doesn't then you can wipe by manually booting into recovery and wiping.
Rusty,
My main question was what would happen if I restore to factory settings? What should I expect the next time I boot my o2x?
Not a lot.
An empty phone. You'll get the setup wizard where you're prompted to enter your Google account details etc.
Will my phone still have root access and MCR or I start from stock? Thanks
It will be the ROM you have now, only empty, and it will still have root as that's part of the ROM.
Thank you so much rusty .. appreciate it a lot.. You've seriously been a great help and I take my hat off to you
@Williemeiser
One post I found online (forgot link sorry) requires us to totally drain out the battery, perform a reset to factory settings, fully charge it for 8 hours and then only proceed to use it.
He showed us the historical battery usage before and after.. it looks good. But whether does it work, another issue. Testing it now.

Questions belong in Q&A.
I did the factory wipe and and now all is fine again thanks peeps
Well, i thought it was ok, but its still doing it, why does the wifi wake up the screen?
As far as i can tell it only does it when attached to a power source, i.e. AC or USB
I have the same apps installed as per the original firmaware and it was fine....
After ICS update GPS has taken long time to fix first time and only it has locked at outside in open sky. After that GPS working good. only it is taking 10 seconds to fix even inside the building.

[Q] Handset wiping question

Hello,
When I got my Note, I must have installed every app going on it, the phone got clogged up and just kept crashing out and being generally rubbish so I thought Id do a hard reset and start over. I booted into the stock recovery menu and just did a factory reset, it worked fine and the handsets fine but Im interested to know if on a stock rom, locked bootloader with no rooting could that affect my handset and mess with the storage capacity?
With me looking at rooting and roms Ive seen a lot of posts where people have rooted and done wipes on their phone and its corrupted the storage, loosing part of it, so I was just interested if the same risks apply to a stock handset?

See your post, I believe you are in GB rom / or on a safe ICS kernel.
Otherwise, I can only say you are damn lucky.
Rooting is not a problem in note. But wiping is a problem if u r on stock ICS kernel.
A lot of thread regarding this one alrd. If you're handphone is fine now, and you don't need root / etc... Just use it as per normal.
But if you want to do more with your handphone, read carefully on all thread that you wish to try to experiment on your handset.
I don't quite understand with what you want. Perhaps you could give your about screenshot, to know more on what stock rom you are now, and which kernel you are now. Then you list out what you need to do.

No it can't mess with storage capacity, you are on stock recovery and that is safe

Im just interested in finding out if me resetting my handset could have corrupted the phones storage. Not including my SD card, my note says Ive got 1.97gb of internal storage and then 11gb of USB storage which considering its a 16gb phone means theres about 3gb less. Even my external card (which is 16gb) registers 14.3gb. so I was just interested to find out if this is correct or if it sounds like the reboot has caused an issue?
I've only had the handset a couple of weeks and obviously its all still under warranty so I've got the option to send it back, which is easier the newer the handset.

Those figures are correct, the rest of the memory is allocated to system. If you'd damaged the emmc you'd know about it cos the phone wouldn't boot. There's an app you can install to check for emmc damage in the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check
You need to be rooted to do a full scan.

[HELP] Kernel Panic

Hey guys, I was running Maximum overdrive v1.0 and beastmode 56.8 kernel (no tweaks) when my phone starts freezing and rebooting. It would happen often and even at times It wouldn't boot completely I would have to remove the battery for It to boot. Then It started to get "kernel panic ulpoad mode" I odin flashed back to stock MM but same issues going on. Any ideas? Or its time for a new phone? Thank you

Yikes. I didn't even see a ton of info on the subject. I can't imagine there is anything left on the device to cause any issues. Hopefully someone with more knowledge about this sees this post. Note 7 release party Aug 2nd if it comes to that!

any advice on the chip?
So, what was the final solution?
