Hey guys, I just bought my galaxy s2 a couple of days ago and went and rooted and installing villain rom on it and it works like a charm but I noticed that in the carrier brand firmware thread over at the development section there was no Mexican firmware, there were lots of other countries just not Mexico.
When I was trying to download the correct kernel to root my phone, I noticed mine was KE4 and there were no KE4 files either but I read that I could use KE2 just as well, so I downloaded that and it worked, then I installed the newest villain rom which replaces it with another kernell anyways so it wasnt that big of a deal but the carrier firmware is something that worries me in case I want to go back to the original stock, you never know, right?
Thanks!
Your can flash any stock fw. It doesn't matter. Their pretty much all similar.

Please help me. I tried a factory reset from the settings and now im stuck in boot loop, i see samsung logo then samsung animation over and over.
i used this method to root : http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-note-video-30421/
My device is a UB version so there is no stock firmware available, from all that ive gathered so far.
I just went thru the root method again hoping it would unbrick it from the boot loop but it didnt.
How can i get out, anyway possible. Maybe install a rom or something????????
I can get into download mode and cwm if that matters.
ANY other info needed ill be right here to answer
i guess ill try and flash the sheep rom
Ok i guess i cant use that rom since its kka kja ????????????????????
this is frustrating me more than any phone ive ever played with

You live in America, so gather this information: Portugal also colonized America, and the result fo that is Brazil. No, we do not speak spanish.

Are you able to help or are you just looking for an arguement?????

I can only assume that you are stuck in a boot loop not because of root but because you removed or froze some system apps and didn't undo it before you did a factory reset.
At this point just flash one of the other stock ROMS using Odin and it should bring you back up.
If you are looking for your specific stock firmware you will need to know your product code (usually it is on the box and will show up something like GT-N7000XNBFSS) You will also need to know the EXACT version of your PDA, CSC and MODEM and then you will be able to grab that specific stock rom using CheckFus
I didnt freeze any apps at all. i was still in playing mode. my phone looked ugly from all the messing around i did.
I just wanted to reset back to default for everything and start over
Im not real sure how to flash a rom with odin but im about to figure it out. Not to mention i am looking for stock roms i can seem to find
Thanks for letting me know though, that i can be back in bussness
What would be the latest stock rom that i can flash with odin and where do i download it? Im going in circles here. Is it the hong kong rom?
See, ive read wrong pit files are bad and that hong kong has a pit file. do i flash without the pit?

Here's what I did:
1) Installed CWM recovery with odin. This is relatively straightforward.
2) get the hong kong rom, put the zip file directly on your sdcard.
3) use cwm's 'install from zip' to install the rom.
It's pretty straightforward, and I didn't have to mess with pit files.
The hong kong rom might not be the latest, nor is it stock, but I'm recommending it because it's a working rom that I installed fairly easily.

CWM was already working because i guess it was installed when i rooted with that not so popular method. installed the hong kong rom. i was hoping to get a stock rom cause i was playing with stuff and checkin it all out, but thats ok, this is probably what i would have ended up with, a nice clean system without all the garbage.
privacy/ factory reset is WORKING now !!! and the yellow triangle is gone now
Thanks!!!
Ok lastly, i lost CWM with this rom though its rooted. I like that. How do i get CWM back. I need to flash that updated market thing with it to update gmail app
I need to install this, but it doesnt say how to in there
ROOT + CWM kernel and official kernel Download: http://min.us/lbr3L9wf7aHUuC
OK I've finally got it back but I'm not in love with these custom roms. I tried the Hong Kong ROM but it was cleaned of a lot of apps and a few problems. I'm now on one of the other roms but it seems to be chewing thru battery and a couple of apps that showed and installed from the market on my stock ROM do not show in market and say incompatible from the market web site. I wish I could just get back to factory. Maybe ill sell it and order another one and not root until its an easy root method like the infuse was

I got a message last night on my note that there is a firmware update available. I've got a GT-N7000 on AT&T and am running a rooted stock ROM with CWM. When I try to install the update it reboots the phone and then tells me "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre". The update is 101MB. I did a search and didn't see any other posts about this so thought I'd ask if anyone knows what the update is and how I can get it installed.
Thanks.
Its probably because your rooted. I was on a rooted rom and flashed the stock kka firmware my phone came with then updated without a problem. I did't try to update while being rooted though.

You could just flash a stock rooted rom of the update. The update is the Lc1 firmware.

Look for OTA rootkeeper on the market. Never tried it but some people that they could update OTA and keep their root

I have the same problem. I'm on the international Note (in UK), have rooted the phone for titanium backup and autostarts (I've deleted some bloatware and frozen others), but haven't played around with custom roms or flashing because I don't really know about that sort of stuff. Also, the firmware update here is 73.5 mb.
Tried ota app, but that doesn't really make a difference and it's only intended to keep root if an already successful ota update has unrooted the phone. Our problem is the the update isn't completing successfully.
I'm worried that the upcoming ICS update won't work either.
Any solutions would be massively appreciated, especially if they don't involve flashing or doing a factory reset.
Thanks

If you've played around with /system, you won't be able to OTA for the most part, as these updates are patches and expect to find an untouched /system partition.

I tried OTA Rootkeeper but no luck. Is there a way to back up my apps and settings such that I could easily restore them after flashing a stock ROM that includes the update?

This thread is for those who own the Galaxy Grand from the Philippines.
Mine has been updated to 4.2.2 XTC. So far these are my expwriences:
1. it has better memory management.
2. battery life is about the same as 4.1.2
3. google play now recognizes some games like subway surf as compatible.
Please comment if you are from the Philippines.
Nice one... a dedicated thread...
Same here Grand owner from the PH.
Still on stock.. waiting for the right FW for phone..and unrooted...
Will be rooting soon too...there are so many mods to try
FYI the firmware marked "XTC" on sammobile and samsung-updates.com are Vietnam CSC. I have not tried the other fw. I had to root then used csc chaner app to change to sun csc. It us not reallt of utmost importance but then it is good feeling to have the proper csc.

did you factory reset and wipe cache after updating? You lose data and settings but you start fresh in doing so.
Right there seems to be worst lag in XTC fw. Might get back to SER Russian rom or Gennxt SER. Indian fw also showing lags according to users.
Hi guys, from Davao here. Running the INU firmware, rooted and some apps frozen via Titanium Backup.
Hi kabayans!
I might make available/share for download the "rooted deodexed zipaligned" and cwm flashable XTC 4.2.2 I cooked using kitchen. I am reluctant to do so because I may not be able to support it. I am not a dev.
What do you all think!

stock 4.2 malaysia
I'm currently using the stock malaysian 4.2. Updated using odin without wiping and factory reset. It started out fine for a week. Now, the lag is getting worse. Do someone know of a better region to choose without this lag problem?
Try the latest Russian SER update.
Russian Firmware

How are your galaxy grand doing guys? My grand has a broken usb port. It can charge but is not recognized by the pc. So i cant update nor root my galaxy grand. Im just waiting for someone to post an update or a root tutorial capable of flashing through stock recovery and not using odin and cwm. In technicalities i would rate myself 9 from 1-10.. so i pretty much know what im doing. And btw for what its worth, using the philippine update is actually ok.. all updates are fluid and good but u need to make sure first that before u update to a new firmware that your device is reset to factory default. And before you install an update, make sure to clear cache and factory reset the device first for effecient and smooth update. How i wish i could update and root my grand.. looks like i need to spend 2k-3k more just to have it fixed. But anyway, if you guys need my help, just reply to this thread.
And for faster and more efficient usage of your sd cards, make sure to use CLASS 10 SD CARDS ONLY.
BNB2 stock rom here. so far no lag issues.
for those of you who are experiencing lag on any stock rom you might wanna try this:
format /sys
format /data /media /sdcard
flash AMF7 4.1
flash BNB2(which ever stock rom you prefer)
I've been using BNB2 for less than a week now. the only issue that i've encountered is the color turning negative. i dont know if it has something to do with the rom or the system apps that i've uninstalled using nobloat app. anyways, it only happened once and the fix is just turning the screen off then on again.

Since the very first week, Grand has this screen issue, for me atleast... The screen's colors become faded... the saturation drops!! and after the BNB2 update... it started becoming negative... God know after next update what will be happening! Switching to Note 2 now

@venom621: Do you have the link for the ROMs you used? I have my grand rooted but still on stock 4.2.2. Very laggy and I would like to try your version :laugh:. Is it still based from a stock ROM that can support dual SIM? Salamat ng marami (Thanks)

i just updated to this I9082XXUBNC1 >> http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9082
stock 4.1 - AMF7 4.1
again no lag issue. you can also try changing launchers. Touchwiz is really laggy on previous stock roms. Although touchwiz is pretty decent on the new rom, I still prefer nova launcher, much faster.
here is a video on the new rom(I9082XXUBNC1). nova launcher vs touchwiz
Video is a litlle bit slower while using screen recorder.

Bought an unlocked Galaxy S4 from Tesco a couple of days ago and decided I'd try a couple of custom roms out pretty much as soon as I'd got it. I rooted it fine, installed cwm and thought I'd successfully backed up the rom it came with. When I tried to install the most updated stable version of CyanogenMod the phone wouldn't boot up at all. I believe I'd done it properly, as in wiping Dalvik cache and everything before and after installing (not sure if this is correct now), so I was a bit confused. Then I thought the best thing to do would be to restore the original rom but it said it couldn't find any files? In the end I managed to get a nightly version of cyanogen working but I really want the original Samsung version back on so I can properly try out the features. I've tried installing Samsung's official firmware for my device but it won't successfully install (it comes up with install aborted on cwm). Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get it working again? I'm considering taking it back to Tesco to get it replaced but now I have a working and rooted rom installed, it's unlikely that they'll take it.
