[Q] Help Me With Galaxy Note.

Hai pals. Greetings to you.
I get one used galaxy note.
After i turn on the phone(With a inactive sim) i saw that there are some security measurements in that phone like Sending messages when changing the sim, Samsung's famous Mobile tracker etc.
All i need is.,
1. Is there any way to remove those settings by flashing custom ROMS or upgreade/degrade it legally.
2. I want it to be as new as factory made. Is there any possibilities.?
Please put your valuable suggestion here. Im total nOOb for this android things.:angel:

Just do a factory reset in recovery....I advice this believing that its been legally obtained...

Lol yeah.
It has been obtained legally.
Anyhow., did I need any working sim or passwords to do factory reset?

Thanks again.

Actually ics has an emmc bug and you are on unsafe kernel.
Flash a safe kernel like phillz.then you can do hardreset.

Download philz kernel as per yr region.
Flash through stock recovery.
Now yr completely safe to wipe or factory reset.
Then when u factory reset u can sell yr phone.
Still if u ve question yr phone is rooted.
Follow doctor ketan s thread of all stock rom.
Download n flash it via odin. Which is safe n u will get yr phone to factory condition.(os part )
N now off the topic.
Jus take a glimpse of update coming for note before u sell yr phone.

No. Not recommended. The ICS kernel has a bug that can leave your phone a brick. It is not advised you do anything in recovery once you're on stock kernel. But I think a soft reset (from settings) will clear all your data since you wanna sell it. I'm a newbie but I hope I've helped.

even from the settings doing a factory reset may trigger a brick. I have read it sum where in entropys thread

There's not such a thing like soft reset... Either if you factory reset from recovery or from settings if you are on ics stock kernel you might end up with a brick in your hands

by soft reset he means the factory reset from settings > backup& reset > factory data reset

Yeah, but that's a hard reset, a soft reset is just powering off and on, not erasing any data.

i dont know about phones but in networking
any reset done inside OS options is called a soft reset ( settings )
any reset done outside OS is called hard reset ( cwm )
power on/off is called power cycle

Agreed, but in the old days of pda's, there was no on off capacity, there was alternatives of combo keys for soft off, power cycle, or hard reset to perform a wipe of the data.

Thats better.
And as human concern after sale.
After sale i meant.
Inform the buyer regarding emmc brickbug on stock ics kernel.
Cos most of the seconds buyers usually they try to factory reset jus to wipe off previous users data fully.
Then note can b a nightmare for him.

some apps not installing

There are some apps not installing, in my phone. Those installed in previous version before master reset after root.

What apps you mean?

Did you try to re-install them? If you upgrade the firmware, it's normal that files and settings were overwrite, not the apps, for that you need a Web upgrade or a factory reset...

i did factory reset. But no help. Anyways when i messed up build.prop and reset had to be done. From then this is happening. I think old game's some data or something is there which not letting install same name file with different signature. Do you know anything about it? And can you give your build.prop too?

please help
Please help. Problem didn't existed before. Kdz flash didn't help.

Looks like it is a system app. And normally if u delete those u can't reinstall them in the conventional way.
Best thing is. Do not uninstall system based apps. U even should get a warning when uninstalling them. Don't do it.

Make me a favor... flash via kdz with v10a india, download it here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP880/AINDBK/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz
After flash, do a factory reset.
Connect your phone to LG PC Suite and search for "device update" and upgrade your phone.

Isn't there any other way? Cause downloading such amount of data is impossible. What does Dalvik cache clearing do? Do you think, it will help?

You can try to clear Dalvik cache, maybe it works... I doubt.
Why its impossible to download the .kdz? its less than 450MB...

You can try flashing the attached file with ODIN (as PDA).
This will do a factory reset to your phone and hopefully make it boot normally.
The file is taken from the following thread so all credits go there!

I believe you need to flash an official rom again to remove root.
After that, do a factory defaults reset.
