Hey guys,
I was having serious issues getting my Allshare Cast dongle to work with my rooted Note 2 (N7100). It either broke off the connection because of the flash counter or (even worse), when I ran TriangleAway beforehand, always rebootet my phone.
I've dug through countless threads addressing this issue and offering all kinds of different until I was finally able to make it work - still being rooted and using a custom rom. So I thought I'd just share my solution with anybody here who may find it useful.
*Edit*
Seems like Allshare Cast still tends to be a bit picky. The first connection is stable, but a second one reboots my phone after a few minutes. Quite annoying, but at least it works.
As usual, I will not be held responsible for any damage that might occur, so don't blame me if your phone blows up itself, or your house. :angel:
This works *for me*, other phones might yield other results.
These are step-by-step instructions if you're coming either from a f%*'ed up ROM that needs major repairs anyway (like me), or from a different android version. If you're running a 4.1.2 ROM you can try to jump directly to step 2. c). Still, I'd suggest you backup everything, see below 2. a)
Here we go:
1. Things you'll need:
a) Wanamlite 3.9 (http://wanamlite.com/2013/07/19/wanamlite-mg1-v3-9-android-4-1-2-clean-stable/) by Wanam (who saved me from ruining my phone btw: tried Wanamlite 4.2 with new bootloader, and without his warning, I would've used the MK4 bootloader instead of MJ5 and would've been stuck with Android 4.3/Know forever...)
b) Adam Kernel v2.7, Odin and/or CWM version (http://wanamlite.com/2013/07/19/adam-kernel-v2-7/) by Wanam
c) Stock recovery, kernel, etc. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31986738&postcount=7), provided by dr. ketan. I'm using this one: http://d-h.st/gwn (Stock Recovery/Kernel/Modem from XXDMB6 19th March13)
d) Mobile Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899) by Chainfire
along with the FlashKernel file (MobileODIN_FlashKernel_N7100-v5.0.apk) further down on the same page. if v5.0 doesn't work, try v4.0 instead.
e) TriangleAway (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114) by Chainfire
f) I'm assuming you're already rooted and therefore have a working CWM/TWRM running.
2. What to do (step-by-step):
a) I'm being a bit paranoid by now, but for various good reasons. These instructions may be a bit overcautious, but at least your data will be safe from being accidentally erased. Trust me, you do not want that ever to happen... :crying:
Also, I always carry a ROM with me so I can repair my phone on the go. So of course, you can also do the flashing via PC Odin, but I prefer the CWM method I've described further down.
- backup everything. And I mean EVERYTHING! I did a full backup, i.e. Titanium Backup, TWRP backup, and I copied the whole contents of my internal and external SD cards to my PC. I'd even suggest you use another extSd during this process (which will save you from the hassle of copying the whole thing btw). This whole backup thing took me about 2-3 hours, but I would've gone mad if I'd lost either internal or external SD data.
- copy Wanamlite 3.9 onto the external SD your're going to use.
- power off your phone (take out the battery to be sure)
- take out your external sd to protect all your precious data. Just in case you accidentally do something wrong and end up formatting the extSd (in TWRM, this option hovers dangerously between "Factory Reset" and "Format Data")
- boot into recovery and do a full wipe (Wipe Cache / Wipe Dalvik Cache / Factory Reset / Format Data)
- power off your phone (take out the battery to be sure), re-insert the external SD
- boot into recovery and flash Wanamlite 3.9 (follow the instructions on his site). Be sure to chose Adam Kernel and checke "Allshare Cast" during the installation process. The Adam Kernel works best with TriangleAway, because (unlike the stock kernel provided with his ROM) you can reset the flash counter without rebooting.
Now you have an absolutely clean 4.1.2 rooted custom ROM running on your phone.
b) Restore your data.
- run Titanium Backup, and restore everything that's important (all user apps w/ data, call logs, messages, email etc.). I'd suggest you just leave out system apps if you're coming from another ROM. You can try to restore everything of course, worst thing to happen is that you'll habe to re-wipe and then re-flash the ROM. In my case, it was no problem, because I had made my backup from this very ROM version.
- Next, copy at least the "Android" folder (containing /data and /obb) from your backup back to your internal SD card. By default, TB doesn't backup large files and folders, so all the bigger apps (like e.g. games) are still missing. If asked to overwrite, simply say "yes". If you want to make sure everything's back to how it was before, copy your whole internal SD backup back to your phone.
c) You've spent an awful lot of time by now, and still, Allshare Cast won't work. So let's go for it:
- install Mobile Odin and the appropriate Flashkernel.apk
- install TriangleAway
- unpack and then copy the contents of "Stock Recovery/Kernel/Modem from XXDMB6 19th March13" to your internal or external SD card (doesn't matter which one).
- run TriangleAway. It should read "Counter: 1 /Binary: Custom".
- tap "Reset flash counter". TriangleAway confirms that the counter was reset to 0 and closes.
- restart the app. Now you should see "Counter:0 / Binary: Official".
- run Mobile Odin, chose the stock kernel (tap "Kernel" -> "[path where you stored the kernel.tar from the archive]")
- tap "Flash Firmware". Your phone will reboot.
Congratulations! If you did everything correctly, you should now be running Wanamlite 3.9 (JB 4.1.2) ROM with rooted stock kernel. Allshare Cast works like it should. FIFA14 or DIII4A are really fun on a 40" screen.
If you don't want to use the stock kernel all the time, flash Adam Kernel v2.7 through Mobile Odin or CWM. Allshare Cast functionality will be broken, but you have all the nice benefits of the custom kernel like STweaks or BoefflaSound. To make Allshare Cast work again, simply repeat the last five steps from above: "c) - run TriangleAway... etc."
That's it. I hope this is helpful! Suggestions are welcome. If something's missing, or if I posted anything dangerous, please feel free to scream, and I'll correct it ASAP.
Cheers,
- Alex
Thanks for the nice review. I have these and wholeheartedly recommend them as well.
does anyone know how to update Allshare Dongle via N7100?
I've had many ROMs and on every single one I have message that update was downloaded and to restart the dongle, but after I restart the dongle it connects again with the same message, so it is infinite loop. I can connect, but sometimes it laggs, so I assume that newer firmware would fix that issue.
I've even contacted Samsung's support service and they couldn't help me. They told me to wait for update, but even on the newest stock it is still the same.
If anyone knows the solution please share.
thanks
thanks for the review its really helpful

Dear valued Android and Samsung experts,
it is my first post in this forum. I waited until the flashable ROM etc. was released, so today I tried humbertOS' CM9 (RC0) from 02.02.2012. It is only my second time doing this, after initially upgrading von Android 2.0 or so to 2.3.3.
My Device Info (after wiping, while stuck now)
European SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB (GT-P1000)
Android 2.3.3
Current baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Current kernel version: [email protected]#2
Build No : GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
Rooted with Super One Click (Maybe. Can't remember anymore, but it is rooted.)
Installed ROM Manager Pro.
Backed up with TitaniumBackup (Premium I think) to my Dropbox (via Wifi). I hope that is correct this way.
I get the following error:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What did I try to solve the issue?
I redownloaded the ROM.zip, but it didn't help. As there are no md5 hashes available (why?) for the online files, I couldn't compare if there is a problem on my download side. But I used Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 and jDownloader now, they can't all be faulty. Of course I re-wiped the cache every time after I had to start the phone or transfer the files!
I read 3+ threads that I found via search, but there was no solution. By the way I was unable to find this forum (Samsung Galaxy Tab) in the forum scroll-down list? Am I blind? I triple-checked! ... In one of the threads I read there I should go go back to the stock version (2.1 or so), is that true? How do I force my Tab to do so?
Now what I think could be the problem source is that I'm wondering why the path /sdcard is showing all the other folders and stuff and why before I put the files on the flash partition of the Galaxy Tab it didn't initially show up! What I try to say is: It seems to me the bootloader accesses NOT the SD-card, but the Tab's flash (all while calling it /sdcard), how can that be!
My SD card is basically empty asides of the ROM, kernel and GApps, but (how) can it even happen that the bootloader choses the internal flash over the SD card?
The last time (2.1 to 2.33) I upgraded I used Odin. This time this is not an option? I only follow the procedure you outlined and ask no questions. I mean in the other thread I read "you will need to flash via odin first because stock rom of gtp1000 have limited options in the recovery mode." (source) - well why is this then not mentioned in this thread or on humberos website? As said, I just followed the directions, thus avoided Odin this time!
And here I read a lot about "Clockwork Recovery", do I really need it? *confused* I mean I already own and payed for ROM Manager and Titanium Backup, should be fine right? I mean it is almost absurd how much I read about it...I can assure you I bought the above tools because back then those were the ones in the talk!
I also heard about "disabling of signature verification", but as it involves a lot of steps, is it really necessary?
I also read about "3e Recovery" but what is that? I would be happy if everyone could stop throwing around with abbreviations that yield no helpful Google results and instead write out and describe what tool or method they use exactly. For the above example my open question is obviously if this recovery method also applies to me with a different brand (Samsung) and model (Galaxy Tab "classic") compared to where I found this method....
Finally do I need to / should I replace my bootloader / recovery menu with another one maybe? ... In conclusion I hope you see I did my research, but there are so many ways to get a solution, so right now I simply need a hint from more experienced pro's about in which direction I have to go!
Thank you for your help in advance!
ClockworkMod Recovery
Ok, I noticed now my mistake probably is that I was missing an installed "ClockworkMod Recovery".
But: When I try to install CWM from within the ROM Manager (v.5.0.0.6, Premium) it only displays a choice of two models - "Samsung Epic4G" and "Samsung GalaxyS i9000" - in the list and not my model (Galaxy Tab EU) or any other model! What is going on there, why does ROM Manager Premium not display an array of other devices?
And is there any alternative way to download and install CWM on my Tab?
PS: The "Euro bootstrap recovery" app mentioned in other threads is not available anymore in the market either.
PPS: I also found this directory full of clockwork builds: http*//download.clockworkmod*com/recoveries/, which one of those would be right for the GT-P1000? The "recovery-clockwork-tab.img" & "*.zip" from 04-Jun-2011 17:37?
The commonly known method is to restock according to Overcome 4.1 rom thread
Then install overcome kernel.
That gives you cwm recovery and it also converts your filesystem to ext4.
Then flash the cm9.

Thanks priyana
Thanks priyana, that hint really made it for me!
Successfully made it through!
Now only the GApps don't show up even though I installed them.
Will browse the forum here and Google for solutions...
reset to factory default and re-install gapps once more?
seems to happen now and then to some flashes
Hey priyana, I didn't update the thread, yes I'm done with that already!
A question though: Is it normal that the internal + external storage show "as one" drive or is the SD card actually not mounting on my Windows laptop? (I assume.)
The problem is, even though I activated UMS with the toggle, I can only put the data on the "12,8 GB" drive, from which I also installed GApps.
But it seems I can't install *.apk files from this location and I also have difficulties restoring my Titanium backup files from there (I put them in the TB subfolder).
So far my progress. I only want my backup back and mount my SD card, then I'm done.
can't help you there yet. I am not yet on ICS
But in slimdizzy's latest built he confirms that both cards visible from windows.
remember one is on /sdcard (internal) and the other is /mnt/emmc (external) because that is CM standard.
One of these days I will follow you guys into ICS.
Tried once earlier before the wifi speed was fixed and didn't like it.
I mean looking from the Windows / PC perspective.
There, I have neither of those paths. I hope that is not unusual.
Another point maybe: As I can't use Kies now, how to manage music? I succeeded in putting videos into the "video" folder, but the same doesn't work for music files (in "Music" as *.mp3 files). Probably I'm lacking the basics (I self-teach them to myself ), so a link to a tutorial about all this is more than welcome. But as said, asides from restoring my backup (I'm still looking for a solution...) and the music issue, all is fine. I even managed to install the apps from within the internal storage with the pre-installed file-manager.
Dont know much about the kies and music.
For TB, there is a setting in there for backup folder.
Have you explore the options?
I can put my my backups anywhere and point TB to it and restore.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Actually, now after another restart it did recognize both the music and the missing TB backup files! I'm really a bit sloppy. Now I'm actually restoring successfully.
Now I will only try to find how to remove a few apps (not selected for restore!) from the backup (job). Apps that I actually don't ever want to see on my tablet again.
I'm sure I'll be able to find out myself...

please help .... im new to this but having the same problem .n i didnt understand what is overcome n how will it solve this issue..please reply
I have replied the same way many times in this forum too
Here goes again:
Overcome ROM is a GB 2.3.6 custom ROM based on Samsung ROM.
We use it a lot because:
1) it has very clear step by step fool proof way to "re-stock" your TAB in a good clean stock condition, upon which you can then install most ROM
2) its kernel, Overcome Kernel 4.0 comes in ODIN flashable and gives you a CWM Recovery 5.x, which is needed to flash other ROMs
3) When flashed, the kernel performs conversion(and support) of RFS filesystem to EXT4 which is better and faster filesystem. This is sometimes desirable.
Go to overcome site
http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
But please read it many times until you get what it is saying.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
Next step if you want, just continue following the guide.
Basically flash Overcome Kernel tar using ODIN, and it will reboot and converts your filesystem (you hear female robotic voice).
At the end of it, you get CWM recovery (access it while off : press volume-up and power button)
From CWM recovery you can flash any custom ROM you want.
You will find most of them ask you to flash from CWM.
I have Samsung i897 Captivate (i9000) with SlimICS 4.1.1 Cyanogenmod installed.
Yesterday morning I've found, that my phone is repeatedly show me boot screen (video on boot with many blinking pieces/elements colors shown to me), but did not load an Android at all. I've tried to reboot the phone (with battery eject), but nothing changes: phone shows start-up animations repeatedly.
Last my action evening before was setting alarm (usual task that I've done for one year probably). Dont know what reason to reboot was, maybe no free space available, but dont sure. Before this problem with load I have no problems with phone at all.
I have Clockworkmod installed, but there's no options to boot an Android in safe mode or some similar options. I could get access to the internal phone memory, but not for system partitions. I've tried to wipe dalvik/cache, fix permissions, but no changes at boot.
So could you gents help me to get access to the filesystem: I have memo's & uncynchronised contacts & SMS, which I would like to save before do anything. I know how to reinstall the system (I have backup for it, but not for contacts & memo's).
Thanks.

The I9000 and the I897 are 2 different phones. I9000 is the international version of the Captivate, therefor, if you flashed the I9000 bootloaders on a I897 Captivate, you'll have distorted colors/screen.
What exactly was done to the phone before this happened?
Pardon, I have AT&T i897 Captivate phone. I did not flashed, nor updated phone, nothing similar, that could affect phone booting process. Just set an alarm (default, from Clocks), then go sleep. In morning found that my phone stuck in boot process - it show boot-up animation but don't load OS.

Reflashing your ROM won't touch your data as long as you don't wipe/factory reset. It's what we call a dirty flash, you just wipe cache/dalvik and flash your ROM again with the Gapps.
Thank you for the way to resolve the problem. Spend some time to understand the process of reflashing. Now I collected all files (bootloader, ROM, essentials, gapps and so on of my actual setup) and ready to reflash it with Heimdall.
But still have a question: is there any possibilities to get access to filesystem (for maybe just copy all files from system partitions into Big Brother) before take action in my case?
Will I get access to my contacts & memo's after reflashing? As I understand, if I reflash phone, /data & /datadata partitions (as part of freshy ROM reinstall) will be touched too, then I lost as minumum link to the Wizard Memo (and I'm not sure that installing it from Google Play will restore access to my memo's).
As you could realise, I have no actual backup of my data, so asking maybe dumb questions (
Could I simple use Clockwork's mod option "Restore /system" & "Restore /data" (as I have it in almost fresh backup - 2 months ago)? Will it be analogue to reflashing? Or it revert /system and /data to the stage when it was make, with contacts, programs and so on with 2 months ago state, not current?

I guess i wasn't so clear. What I mean by reflashing is to simply get in recovery mode and reflashing RemICS and their Gapps. Not to start fresh with stock.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
You explained well, errors on my side Resolved this issue with copying all data from filesystem, then reflashing with fresh slimrom . For those who fall into same situation: you could get access to filesystem of your phone trough ADB tool, and just copy sensible data to another partition/SD/device. See QtADB program also, very friendly for that.
Tried ROM Manager backup of factory ROM.
Now, I power on and get CWM recovery. Choosing reboot always returns me
to CWM recov. I read every thread in this forum that refers to
loop, brick, etc. I have various backups, but I don't know what they
are worth, best way to use them. How to get out of the boot loop?
Best outcome would be to recover my last stable state. Factory reset
would be ok. Hardbrick would be a drag.
* Bought factory unlocked G-ST6500D (no vendor) in Spain.
* Have current non-root backups of contacts, sms, media, calendar, etc. on
laptop.
* Installed CWM v5.0.2.8 with Odin (three yellow boxes appeared in odin,
FWIW), and rooted. Froze bloatware listed by some people as safe, but
did not delete any factory installed software.
* Wanted to have a stock ROM backup before I did anything else. It's
not clear to me whether it is best/possible to download one or create
an image from my device. Started reading/trying backup apps, but I
don't really know what each one does.
* Did a full backup, apps + data, to extSD, and copy to laptop with Titanium
backup (free). This wrote >1000 files.
* Did most complete (as best I could tell) backup to extSD and laptop
with Online Nandroid app. This wrote boot.img, cache.ext4.tar,
data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar. Can these
be used to restore ?
* Tried to backup the ROM with ROM Manager app, but could not find an
option to backup to ext SD, only int SD. There was only 200MB free, so
I knew this would fail. I choose this anyway, hoping it would realize
there is not enough space and offer to change the path. The phone
rebooted into CWM and began a backup. After a few minutes, it printed
an error message and told me where a log was written, and rebooted
into CWM recovery. I tried rebooting, holding buttons, removing
battery, etc. Always returns to CWM recovery. Tried the 'backup and
restore' menu hoping it would give info on the backup. Instead, it
immediately started another backup, this time showing 1GB intSD
free. This backup reported success, then reboot into CWM recov.
* Since then, from CWM, I did 'wipe cache partition' and 'wipe davlik
cache'. Did not yet try factory reset.
* Show log ends with
"skipping exectuion of extendedcommand, file not found"
I read that sometimes it is possible to exit a boot loop without
flashing anything. If that is not possible, I guess I should do
factory reset. If that does not work, then I guess I should try
restoring something somehow: Use CWM recovery to recover nandroid
backup from extSD? Or install something via Odin ? For any solutions,
I am more comfortable doing things from linux than MSWin, but I think
that is not possible. Do I have to race to solve this before the
battery runs out?
Thank you for reading.

Thanks. I just figured that out after a several hours of reading. Finally saw stories on the thread
introducing CWM 6.0.3.3 of people who never flashed a ROM and still had boot loops.
I was on the wrong track because I assumed it was the filled up int. SD causing the
problem. I still have to fix that, but my phone is running. It would be nice if ROM Manager or CWM calculated the space
needed and refused to start if insufficient. But, I understand that there are few good devs and much to do.
Hi All,
my first time using a forum and first time attempting to install a custom ROM so be nice . i have done some research around the net but I'm now more confused than before i have read that i need to install software to back up my current ROM but before that it needs to be rooted but before i can root it i should back up the current ROM (confusing...), i have also read that galaxy note 1 users have some serious bugs in the kernel so its very risky rooting it never mind putting a custom ROM on it, that the IEMI in the EFS partition will be wiped so that should be backed up after rooting but before flashing with a new ROM otherwise i wont be able to connect to my network i have searched the forum and found guides but nothing for my phone and nothing in as much layman's terms as i need.
Phone: Samsung galaxy note GT-N7000, last over the air update was 12 months ago for android v 4.1.2
base band version n7000xxlt3 kernel version 3.0.31-1103517 [email protected]#3 smp preempt tue jun 4 20:55:52 KST 2013 build number J2054k.N7000XXLT9
bought 2 years ago on t mobile currently running on giff-gaff
knowledge: some but evidently not enough tried to fix a bug on a tablet and didn't back it up first, bricked it and a year later its still in my draw
i have a lot of stuff on my phone, 2 years worth of stuff and while iv done the odd manual back up knowing im about to flatten it completely i want to back it up completely first, document videos pics contacts apps messages everything i can possibly back up i will
so what i need:
a total walk through precautions on what i should do and in what order i.e. backing up in general, backing up efs, rooting, backing up current rom, flashing a rom ect
what software i should use for the above?
the best 3 ROM's available for GT-N7000 or just peoples opinions will do I'm looking for something with added features and a a fresh look as I'm really bored of the phone now
sorry if this is already somewhere else and please feel free to make fun of the new guy as long as i can perform a successful flash my phone i will be happy!
Many thanks in advance
@ckershaw here is what you need to do. As you have a lot on your phone, connect it to pc and transfer all the data. Then look for Philz kernel and download kernel matching your build number XXLT9. Download the .zip file and put it on your external sd card. Reboot to recovery pressing volume up+power+home button and flash the .zip file there. It will give you custom cwm and root. You can now install titanium backup pro or such application to backup your user apps (don't backup and restore system apps). Once done, you can again reboot to recovery and take a backup of your whole rom (make sure you select EFS folder too to backup). Once you have the backup on your external SD card or trasnferred to pc. Perform full wipe (factory reset from philz recovery). Then go to mounts and storage and also wipe /system /cache /data and internal sd card. Once you are done, flash raw kernel (either r4 or r5) from external sd card and reboot recovery and flash the latest kit kat rom (any of your choice) along with Gapps. Raw kernel is only if you are trying to flash any kit kat rom, else philz kernel should suffice.

@ckershaw here is what you need to do. As you have a lot on your phone, connect it to pc and transfer all the data. Then look for Philz kernel and download kernel matching your build number XXLT9. Download the .zip file and put it on your external sd card. Reboot to recovery pressing volume up+power+home button and flash the .zip file there. It will give you custom cwm and root. You can now install titanium backup pro or such application to backup your user apps (don't backup and restore system apps). Once done, you can again reboot to recovery and take a backup of your whole rom (make sure you select EFS folder too to backup). Once you have the backup on your external SD card or trasnferred to pc. Perform full wipe (factory reset from philz recovery). Then go to mounts and storage and also wipe /system /cache /data and internal sd card. Once you are done, flash raw kernel (either r4 or r5) from external sd card and reboot recovery and flash the latest kit kat rom (any of your choice) along with Gapps.

hi thanks for the info!
when i say uber noob i do have lots of experience with phones and computers as its what i do for a living im also a quick learner so i figured it out myself last night, granted i was at it till 02:30 in the morning but i figured it out and that's almost exactly what i did, the only thing i did differently was i wiped it but i didn't 'Then go to mounts and storage and also wipe /system /cache /data and internal sd card' but all is working very well and it feels like i have a new phone i did have 1 annoying issue that was the Google keyboard crashed every 5 seconds so had to keep clearing the notifications for it but i solved that by disabling it and pushing a different one from the play store.
one thing i do need help with however is i made a manual backup of the phone but not sure if i got everything, i did a full backup with kies.. that was a mistake! as the phone isn't recognized as a Samsung device i cant restore the backup, i would like to try to manually extract the file but i have looked around and been told you can only recover calendar and contacts, i want to recover images, videos, sms, call logs all that sort of stuff.. any ideas? has anything been developed recently for that as all the posts i looked out although relevant are rather outdated its a .sbu file
Thanks

If all your efforts are for naught, maybe I'd suggest that you flash a stock rom, restore all your stuff via Kies again, and this time backup them in your PC instead. Do not worry about deleting your media (Images, video, music) if you do a factory wipe reset from a custom recovery as they are not set to delete those files. to back up sms, call logs and contacts calendar n stuff, you can install superbackup app from playstore. Takes time n effort to restore but I think it's worth it. Good Luck bro:good:
Hi Guys,
thanks for all the help, been working great for a week with no bugs my question is now i have flashed it with the ROM the root access is now gone so i will need to root again the details are now

Baseband n7000xxlt3
kernel: 3.0.64-OMNI-g5f47648 [email protected] #1 sun jun 8 07:00:23 CEST 2014
built number omni_n7000-userdebug 4.4.3 KTU84M 254 test-keys

Either find UpdateSuperSUv1.94.zip and flash it through recovery, or just try downloading supersu or superuser from playstore.

Thanks,
last one i promise my battery has been draining in an average of 4 hours and my phone is constantly hot since putting this ROM on i have 3 battery's i charge externally via an external charger and that just about lasts me the day i have a power management app called battery doctor that is great and if it wasn't for that I'm sure it would only last half the amount, i have checked and Google+ keeps starting up every time i close it even if i force it to stop and it's used 96% of my battery today i have only actually used the phone for about 3 minutes today. ond its only been off charge for 3 hours is it OK to disable it what else wont work if i do. is there any reason its doing this surely that's not normal?
Thanks

My best suggestion would be to delete google+. Otherwise use Titanium Backup to freeze or greenify it. The best is still to delete it though.

Hi!
!! This is quite serious! I need to get my data (pictures, videos) out of my phone, which is possibly soft-bricked.
I did the following in hope of more usage opportunities with my new phone:
[Unlocked bootloader + Rooted it]
1. installed TWRP following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/development/testers-twrp-t3585256;
2. rooted following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/root-huawei-p10-p10-t3589946;
3. installed few apps like greenify, wi-fi hacking apps etc, and everything was good.
BUT then 1 app (don't remember which) requested that it needs SuperSU and not the one root permission app that I had. So it asked whether I want to install it. I thought - yes, why not. Then it said that before it can install SuperSU it needs to uninstall previous permission app - I clicked OK. Then it kind of started, but then failed the installation. Ok, I kind of closed it and there were no problems. But after next restart of the phone it was stuck on boot process..
I dont really care about the phone, but data on it is so important. I tried sme fast hend methrods to boot it, like wiping catch, dalvik catch, but it did not work out.
Next I looked for possobilities to rescue data, but I didn't succeed.
Easiest mentioned option - to enter twrp and connect via usb seemed promising, BUT data are shown encrypted.
Please see the picture - I tried to be as precise as I could, so that you can understand the situation.
! I can beckup all data to micro sd card, but would it decrypt after new install of stock rom (e.g. from eRecovery that Huawei provides) and allow access or not?
Please help me. I am willing to have 1-on-1 skype chat and give some donations for this as it is so important.
To mention: Rescue apps like EaseUS seems to be useless, because they state to recover data from bricked device, but then after installing soft it askes to allow usb-debbuging, but c'mon, it's not booting up.. .
So,
1. Is there a chance to recover data?
2. Is it a good sign that 16GB of data are showing even if files are shown encrypted?
3. data are also showing on pc, when connected on twrp, but also encrypted.
Any help will be appreciated!
Additionally quite important question: at this state (possible soft brick + encrypted files), is there a chance that if I make a backup to MicroSd card of all the data and then take it our to reinstall rooted stock version of my android that later puting backup in will show my files that were backuped? Could ir be so that phone luckiliy decrypt them itself because it is the same phone? Hope this is clear what I mean.
OK, hopefully all is not lost.
First things first, be REALLY careful. If you start applying factory images, wiping things and generally messing about, if you don't know what you're doing you're putting your data in a lot of danger - Huawei devices do things in weird ways, so be super sure you know the consequences of what you're doing.
Now that's out of the way... it sounds like you haven't done anything to wipe the data. Also, you've already previously unlocked the bootloader which should put you in a good situation. You need to discount TWRP as a potential solution - there is no working decryption for TWRP yet on the Kirin 960 devices and from conversations I've had, it doesn't sound like that is imminent.
What it sounds like has happened is that messing about with root has messed up something on your system partition. Which should be fixable!
As a first step, this is what I'd do.
- Check which version your phone is on if you don't know already (you should be able to find this in ' /version/special_cust/VTR-L09/hw/eu/prop/local.prop')
- Find a full dload zip for the appropriate version (use FirmwareFinder if needed)
- Download the zip an extract the dload app
- Use splitupdate to split the images out of the dload
- Boot the device to bootloader ('adb reboot bootloader' or power on with cable connected and volume down pressed) then do 'fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img'
- Flash BOOT.img too
- Try booting
Hopefully this will fix it, but at the very least it'll get your system partition back to a stock state.
Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
