Ok , so old news is that eMMC was discovered and it killed a million Gnotes.....
A lot of people moved to GB Stock or Rooted ROMS , some moved to CM9 based ROM's and a lot stayed behind on ICS Stock in the hope that the Kernel fix would magically show up and they will be saved.
Then there were a couple of more ICS releases and one unworthy GB release in a few countries and some people moved to these newer ROMS for the pure purpose of trying the new ROMS as well as hoping that the troubled Kernel is now at rest..
All while this was happening Samsung decided to release the Kernel sources for Devs to look and play with ...
So , a lot happened in Gnote world over the past month or so ,,,my question is
where do we go from here :
In my knowledge , eMMC bug is still anybody's guess even thou great devs are looking at it (my respect) but nothing's sure yet.Then thr's the usual anxiety to move to ICS again for those who moved back to GB .
I wanted to know what everyone is feeling and doing with thr Notes in these interesting times , are they still keeping thr fingers crossed and using ICS , are they moving to GB , are they moving to newer releases of ICS , are ppl rooting a lot more in order to be safe and at the same time enjoy CM9 based ROMS?
Do Share .....
I love CM9 based Roms. I would be enjoying them even without the eMMC debacle.

Checking it out ,,,Stable enuf for daily use?
Well i must be one of the few that didn't run back to GB, mainly becasue i'm afraid that "thebug bites me"..
I think that sammy is going to release an update to fix this (maybe in the year xxxx) but untill i don't get too many problems i will stay on ICS (LPY). Only problem i encountered so far i that i have a bigger battery consumption, less ram to work with.
Untill now have been reading a lot and didn't do any wipes or factory reset, again i did do things through kies and no root installed. Untill some bugs are solved and as difficult as i find it i will not flash any custom rom...... There are some really nice ones out here......................temptation, temptation!!

Playing the devils advocate here but in Sammy's defence , this too is the first time something like this has cropped up if memory serves.....and then i guess they tried to control the situation somehow by releasing the Kernel sources..
There are many confusing articles around about the EMMC brickbug that causes superbricks. I was just looking for answer to a few questions.
1. Has Samsung released a solution yet to fully revive (i.e. revive lost partitions) the device back to normal?
2. Is there an official Samsung solution to get the EMMC bricked devices working again?
3. For people who have revived their devices using the custom PIT method as described by hg42, are people having issues with the phone jamming (needing restarts) despite whatever rom they use? If so, how did you resolve it?

1.) No.
2.) Yes. Bring it to support - the change the motherboard. Costs? Depending on warranty...
3.) You need a summary of all the articles? No luck for you, I'm afraid. Read, read and when you finished - read again.
There are wonderful roms here with brick-save kernels. Use them or use them not.
And last... Why do you post this in General? Ever heard of Q&A-Section?

Interesting way to answer. But greatly appreciated nevertheless. I do have further questions re your answer to 3, but I feel quite intimidated.
Those are excellent questions re the Emmc bug for the Note.
Let me give you my thoughts. For questions 1 & 2, I'm still waiting for a solution but I highly doubt
Samsung will fix it. For question 3, if you use the pit file to revive your Note, then use Official ICS or JB rom
you will end up getting freezes/lockups and maybe boot loops.
I would recommend using CM10.1 as its more stable to use. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my Note 2
and tinkering around with CM10 on my semi brick Note 1.

Why is it that when we are no longer using the areas of the partition affected, with the PIT method, it is still crashing with various roms?
Which various roms crashing for you? I don't really have a good explanation why it is crashing even using the pit file. I think the partition area affected are pretty much corrupted. I've once got the latest JB working for a very short time until it freezes up many times and its not usable at all.
I would like to go back to JB again if theres actually a fix for the freeze up issue. In the meantime, I'm using CM10.1 and its much more usable as a phone with little issues/hiccups.

You mean the fat partition? or the ext one
Just post here any arguable question.... so far was an hell of adventure to fix the samsung.
Sd card
Its strange how these days i spend moving in cicles but today something different happen.
Appears to me that slim rom and anidroid (ics) is a bit different in comparison with paranoid rom (ics lrk)
First two have some compatibility issues. For example, on anidroid, the menu is for galaxy SII, and you cannot choose dpi.
While on slim rom you can do all that, there are screen flickers, like menu distortions, and the camera doesn't zoom at 720p.
The major difference is in how they both partition the space. This was a strange breakthrough today. Moving in cicles until this.
On first two, the phone storage is shared in two (or three) areas. while none seems to be okay on a briked phone. The second, makes the internal sd card as the (external mini sd) main addition to the phone. Why did those two make the internal storage out of the fat32 11 partion UMS. That was terrible.
I made this thread so users who tested basebands to provide some useful reviews (battery backup, performance, bloatware, etc) for every user who want to know which baseband, new or old, has what he`s looking for or the baseband just came up and it`s new and he wants to know about it.
I tested MBM-XXLQI from Macedonia recently and all I have to say it brings nothing new about battery backup on the contrary it seems worse than DDULP8 from India or XXLQG-ITV from Italy, and in addition it has a lot more bloatware too.
I am going to test the new VSLPA from Argentina(moviestar) to see what it brings new as it has the latest build date and changelist, and I`ll provide a review in a day or two. You are free to do the same as we may have different opinions.
I am using VSLPA from Argentina from 1 day now and I have to say it provides the best battery backup till now, only 1% consumed over the night.
About performance, it`s pretty much like the other firmwares, tough i notice that lag is slightly reduced in this one or it may be placebo effect, don`t know yet.
Go try it yourself and report back to see if you have a different opinion from mine
I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.
I'll provide the list of bloats removed when I have time if it is of any use

This is as if you were explaining you saw a ghost.
Are you sure about this? Cause I heard similar things for previous FWs before, even though they all lagged like hell.
And 7 hours ago you were saying the opposite, how's that possible? What exactly fixed it, when it was the same when you first tried it?
Anyways I'm on GB now, got burned once and now I want to be sure if it's really lag free before I upgrade.
in sammobile, some of the firmwares are made for some particular carriers.Is it safe to flash that carrier basrd firmwires??

If your device is network free(meaning that another carrier sym is working) you can flash any firmware you want for our device with odin. Juat download it from samsung-updates, unrar it, put the tar file in pda section of odin and hi start.

First of all GB and JB are different in every aspect so you can`t compare one to the other. First time it was just after I flashed it then I did all the things I said ( root, flash cocore kernel, changed governors and I/O etc. ) and after that i used it till it shut down and then while it was turned off I let it full charge, after that i booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik cache and reboot and that was all.
But you should never expect that JB to be like GB.
If you don`t like stock i suggest you to upgrade from gb to jb then flash CM 10.1 from Team Canjica or if you want stock based Roms try Harshjelly or SamiOS.
Before you do all the things read some guide about how to flash with odin, how to root jb shaan`s guide and some more if needed.
If you do some research before you should not have problems
Goodluck

Why would you want to downgrade? First read guide about Odin and then go and read Harshjelly thread first then flash his rom and from there on should be easier to learn about governors,I/O schedulers,kernel etc. After you think you have a good knowledge base and you`re still not happy with you`re android you can move on to CyanogenMod 10.1 of Team Canjica(19.10 nightly is the most stable version).

Thanks, but been there, done that. All I'm saying is that I doubt it's lag free, I did try various firmwares, kernels and stuff but 5 sec delay when opening apps and lag in games, videos, UI is so bad that it's unbearable. That's why I had to downgrade, which is a much complicated process which frankly I don't want to repeat. That's why I want to make sure the new firmware is lag and delay free before I upgrade again.
And I'm pretty sure JB isn't supposed to be that bad, despite the fact that S Advance isn't much of a phone.

In cyanogenmod you wont encounter any kind of lag. So you can flash VSLPA via odin then flash cwm temporary make a backup then root it play with it a day or two and see how it goes and if you dont like it restore from backup then flash cyanogendmod 10.1 and i guarantee that you wont encounter any kind of lag there.
And btw id you want to thank me for any help just hit Thanks button and I`ll know

thanks for your detail review! will flash it. But i have a question here, if i have flash VSLPA stock ROM, then i flash a custom ROM built on DDLUP, will that custom ROM run on VSLPA baseband?
Hey guys! Just wanted to give you all a heads up that CM 13 is out.
LINK: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=h811
Anyone facing any issues while on the ROM?
Can I just flash it if I have cm12.1 already running.
Any other update of bootloader etc needed to get it work? Don't want to get stuck in boot logo etc.
Thanks

No, you'll need to kdz to stock M, ensure Enable OEM Bootloader unlock is checked, and then reboot into bootloader mode to 1) do OEM unlock and 2) boot into TWRP in order to permanently install TWRP. It's pretty simple. I think I spent a grand total of 10-15 minutes setting it up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227

Same as I posted above. If you're not yet on M, you'll need to flash the M KDZ (or OTA update to M, if you're still on stock), unlock bootloader and re-install TWRP to flash any M ROM.

Wow lol you just repeated the same question that was already answered literally above your post. Like you didn't even read. If your on any 5.1 ROM you have to flash the stock mm ota update first before flashing any mm ROM. After flashing the stock mm always make sure OEM unlock is enabled. Unlock your bootloader,flash twrp recovery.

As with any non-stock camera app, I'm sure there is a bit of a hit to quality, since they can't access LG's closed-source camera, but honestly, I can't tell a huge quality difference myself. The Snap camera used in CM (as well as Bliss, which I'm currently running with Llama Sweet Kernel with some tweaks - I highly recommend this kernel so far for CM or Bliss, or just about any other AOSP-ish ROM) has taken some big steps forward since CM was first available for the G4. (Full disclosure, some people have had issues with the flash going at the wrong time, causing over/underexposed pics, but I haven't seen it on mine. Others have also reported a bit of a hit to video (some lagginess) but I haven't taken any video yet to confirm or deny.)

As with any non-stock camera app, I'm sure there is a bit of a hit to quality, since they can't access LG's closed-source camera, but honestly, I can't tell a huge quality difference myself. The Snap camera used in CM (as well as Bliss, which I'm currently running with Llama Sweet Kernel with some tweaks - I highly recommend this kernel so far for CM or Bliss, or just about any other AOSP-ish ROM) has taken some big steps forward since CM was first available for the G4. (Full disclosure, some people have had issues with the flash going at the wrong time, causing over/underexposed pics, but I haven't seen it on mine. Others have also reported a bit of a hit to video (some lagginess) but I haven't taken any video yet to confirm or deny.)

Thank you very much for your reply. I suppose I'll stick with a stick ROM. Camera and video quality are very important to me. I take a lot of pictures and videos of my kids.

Honestly, and this is always my advice, I'd say go ahead and try it out. Just do a backup beforehand, and test out the camera first thing after flashing. If it's up to par, great! If not, 5 minutes later you're back to stock. Like I said, I haven't seen any of the issues a few others are reporting so far. Of course it's totally up to you. Just don't want you to deprive yourself of AOSP for something that may not effect you at all.

I definitely have been toying with the idea of it. I'm a huge AOSP fan. I may take your advice sooner or later

Thank you, DAXX. Let me get my hands clean with this one. Ji,ji,...

Anyone got VOLTE successfully working on the latest build? I still get the switch to 3g during a call...

Hey guys! Just wanted to give you all a heads up that CM 13 is out.
Anyone facing any issues while on the ROM?

Hello. I when I click on download, it crashes. I get "unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." So far that is the only app behaving like that. Someone else can confirm this or is just me?. I even reset whole system and same issue.

Been rocking it for a bit over a day. It runs beautifully. I've installed open gapps as well. The only issue I have is that video playback will seem to pause for a second while the audio continues, so it'll end up lagged by a second. This happens every time you pause a video too, so it'll become increasingly lagged the more you do it, leaving the audio and video totally de-synced.
Edit: Running the 02/14 nightly. Will update later and see if it gets resolved.
We already have a support thread for our devices at the G4 Int forum. All you need it to do was link that thread in our general discussion forum instead. No developers for CM13 will see this thread at all. Lol

Im thinking of trying this out and wondering if the video call will be lost. Its tmobiles version of facetime but its suppose to be working on g4 note 5 gs6 edge + etc. And it does with this lastest update so im wondering whats going on.
I forgot to mention hows battery life on the rom?
Forgive my ignorance, the past few days have been my first introduction to Android & I've been trying to figure this out.
Is it possible at this point to load a stock OS on this phone without Gapps installed?
Will I have to wait for an instance of TWRP to be developed for this phone to achieve that?
Thanks.
Edit:
Should I just return this phone while I can & get something else with a bigger community & official support for Lineage or Graphene? lol
what have you got at the moment ?

If you're only after AOSP then you should look for other phone. It doesn't look like we will get even debloated Samsung stock rom any time soon.
But it's still cool phone though.

Thank you very much, that's how it was seeming digging through here but I couldn't find an answer quite so straight forward.
