Before we go any further.....you are stock ICS ? using the 3.0.8 stock ICS kernel ?
We should try something else before the downgrade....as you "technically" have the wrong baseband version for TMO...
We need to get you rooted again, and flash up a new radio....first...to test network...
now I know the blaze radio got you stuck, but believe it or not...you need it to run the ATT note, on the TMO network...
Are you familiar with the ICS root process ?
It's too easy...simply push CWM .tar file to the device via Odin, then we can flash the baseband and test.....
quite possibly eliminating the need for much more work...g

Okay then...
lets back door the phone.....with the GB.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
stand by...g
Edit:
here is the stock.tar for GB....
You must first...(required by me...LOL) wipe data, and factory reset the device....
Then, push this GB .tar image to your phone via Odin...
Just to clarify: you do this at your own risk....as this image will force restore the device to a stock ATT I717 GB rom.....
let me know when you are done with the flash...then we do step 2....g
Edit: 2....it is wise to format the emmc partition prior to using this method, to clean the ICS files from the device...this is done in CWM....it's not required...but helps...IMHO

ok, how do you wipe data and factory reset without root.. is it factory data reset? and how to format emmc?
Just factory reset....if you dont have root,,,you cant format the emmc...
It'll do....
we'll full wipe after you get GB flashed....g
Okay...once you get GB pushed over...
then you need the CWM recovery....
Push it after you push the GB rom. but remember...you must allow the device to reboot after each flash, and then return to download mode again..
It's slow...but it's required....
After you get CWM pushed.....and booted, then we will go into CWM and do some house keeping on the EMMC....
followed by this:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/0zahxvtc/033112.html?
That is the radio image we are going to flash in CWM...and if we get lucky, It's gonna fix this mess for you....
I'll wait here....tap, tap, tap, tap.......LOL....g
ok flashed it..
android version: 2.3.6
bb version: i717uclf6
kernel version:2.6.35.11
build #: gingerbread.ucla1
---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------
ok 2.3.6 installed and cwm flashed.. now what lol
Okay......now we need the CWM recovery....
so back into download mode, and Odin push this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
It's the top recovery on the first page...just click the "odin" version, and it will download the correct CWM.tar image...then flash that sucker....g
edit: yur fast...LOL
Now, we need to boot into CWM.....
then, wipe data, factory reset.......
then wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery stats....
then...and here is the scary part...
In the advanced menu options, you will find the option to format "EMMC"....do it...then reboot from the CWM screen.....g
After the EMMC wipe and reboot....you are going to flash this radio image in CWM...
Sorry for the reboot, but it was needed to flush the memory, and repopulate the Emmc with only the rom specific data needed to boot....http://www.4shared.com/zip/0zahxvtc/033112.html?
ok im in advanced menu.. there is no format emmc option
reboot recovery
wipe dalvik
wipe battery
report error
key test
show log
partition sd card
fix permission
go back

Okay...you have a different CWM version...thats okay...lets flash the radio image in CWM, and see if you get service...
this radio is a base TMO image, no frills, but is compatible with your network...and if service is available, you'll get it after the flash and reboot...

Hi all!
My wifi is not working at all on my xperia neo mt15i. In wi-fi settings it just says "Error". Trying to enable wifi: "Turning on ..." flashes by and then "Error".
Here is the story:
It used to work of course. Until yesterday. A few days ago I reverted from 4.0.2.A.0.62 to 4.0.2.A.43 (?) and rooted it. Then I upgraded to 62 OTA. This was of course to get root. No problems here, wifi working.
Then, yesterday I wanted to test ICS. So I unlocked the bootloader with instructions from sonyericsson using fastboot in linux. Went smooth and I confirmed the unlock. Flashed an ICS kernel with fastboot. Went into recovery, wiped all, did an update with a zip, rebooted. But here I got stuck on SONY logo at boot.
So I went into CWM recovery and did a recovery to the backup I made before unlocking bootloader. After booting everything looked good, but I did not check wifi. Went to sleep and this morning I realized that I had lost wifi. Could not get it to work at all.
So I tried once more to do recovery of same backup. This time I wiped caches, factory reset and wiped dalvik-cache before recover backup. After boot, same problem with wifi.
So, what do I do now? I have searched forums but have no clue. Please help!
I had a look in logcat and found this:
E/WifiService( 268): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
Is there a mismatch between kernel and wifi-driver? How come, since I did a recovery I would suppose both kernel and all drivers would be recovered and match?
Which ICS you used, since you say you flashed zip? And stock one is in img.
Is it possible that you didn't wipe system partition before flashing zip? I made same mistake yesterday, and got to stuck on sony screen Even though I didn't move to some different rom, but the same, so it's strange, but never mind.
Then you say you went back to your backup(.62 ?), did you also flash your old kernel?
So what kernel do you have now on your phone? Stock?

Ah, there's problem kernel isn't contained in backup made from CWM. You need to flash it trough fastboot.

First I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866, to get root and then go to 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Then for ICS I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517794.
So the nandroid backup does not contain the kernel. I will try to flash kernel from 4.0.2.A.0.62 since it would match my backup. I hope
Thank you Madfysh for your help.
I will come back here later this evening or so and report the result.
Cheers!
Yup, I'm using same ROM now. Most likely you forgot to wipe/format something, as I did yesterday
Strange is that before I flashed that zip I was already on that ROM, so not sure why not wiping system partition confused it, but..
Maybe I will try ICS again first. Making sure I wipe everything.
But as I recall I think I followed the instructions.
1) I flashed the ICS kernel
2) Boot to CWM and wiped all I could wipe in the menues, even advanced/wipe dalvik-cache, and factory reset or whatever. Instruction says "format system, format data, format cache". I can't find that in CWM menues though. Is THAT my problem (with ICS)?
3) Flash update zip and reboot. Here it got stuck on SONY logo. Waited at least 15 minutes.
So maybe there is something I missed to format/wipe/clean?
By the way: if I now look at kernel version it says 2.6.32.9-perf which I think is the kernel from 4.0.2.A.0.62. So it did recover that from the backup? No?

My phone is on charger now so I can't check to be 100% sure, but I think those options are under mount and storage.

No. It's just Sony didn't change kernel version.
That doesn't mean you can use kernel for GB on ICS and vice versa.

And thank you again
To night I WILL try ICS again, wiping even more!

I realized I had everything I needed at hands: ICS kernel, ICS update. Go for it!
So I rebooted to CWM and did all wiping and formatting. Then update with zip, reboot. And now I've got ICS! Nice! Everything thing seems to work alright, awesome!
Problem solved then.
Glad we solved that
Enjoy in ICS.
But you got it working in ICS. Same is happening for me. Its working in ICS but not on GB.
I am on Droid 3 which has locked bootloader & I have read that Locked bootloader = NO Kernel Replacement. Hence facing same wifi issue.

Oh yes, I've got it working. The problem was that I mistakenly had the wrong kernel. I went from GB to ICS switching kernel and everything. Then I tried to go back to GB but I did not switch back the old kernel.
I actually never tried again to go back to GB since I got it working in ICS. But I suppose it would work in GB if I switch kernel and install my recovery backup.
Good luck!

Hi,
For now I am stuck on stock GB rom.
My amaze 4G is rooted, and bootloader unlocked (S-on).
I was not able to get the OTA ICS mobilicity to install.
I need my phone to be more energy efficient. Is there a way to do this with a kernel on stock GB rom?
Or some other way?
Also with S-on, can I flash any GB rom whether it be wind, mobilicity, telus or tmobile?
Thanks in advance.

I think I like it more than the energy rom. It seems a little more complicated to install with faux kernel etc. Also there are no instructions there.
Could you give me some guidance on how to install this?
Also do I need to unlock my bootloader?

You'll need your bootloader unlocked for any rom installation or the recovery won't be able to write certain files. I'll be checking out the other rom in a minute.
Edit: The flashing of that rom is the same as any other, you wipe all partitions then flash the rom, faux kernel is OPTIONAL, you don't have to flash it, but it seems it's a part of the rom, once you're using 4EXT recovery, it's gonna flash the kernel for you, just make sure you make a nandroid backup of your current set up so if the flashing fails, you can always wipe and restore your old system so that you don't end up with an expensive paper weight, always remember to have a backup.

Does full wipe actually wipes everything including the OS from the phone?

Yes, use hasoon's tool and get 4EXT, do the nandroid backup on 4EXT using the backup/restore option, don't use rom manager and yes a full wipe formats all the partitions leaving nothing on the device system partition, you can find that in the format options. Just be sure to flash the new rom before rebooting.

There is no option for "wipe all except sd".

The rom is on my sd card.
Hello all
I have searched all over but have not found any similar problems.
I rooted my phone and installed CWM and would like to install a custom rom that exists for Gingerbread 2.3.6 (I flashed back to stock OS), I have found the rom that I seem to like a lot (Atomic rom) however when I put the .zip file into my external sd and use rom manager to install the rom it turns off, then the phone boots back up... Any ideas about what is happening? Maybe I do not have everything rom manager needs?
I am definitely not ready to flash the new rom using odin, unless you put the .zip file into PDA section and hit "Start" when the phone is in download mode... from the forums I read it is not as easy as installing the stock OS
Thanks in advance!

you leave so many questions unanswered here. you have provided some information here, but not the vital info and the last part is very confusing.
im sorry, I know you are new here, but you lead me to ask some very generic questions....................
are you in the right forum for the right phone? this is for the Note1
I only ask this because I cant even find any GB ROMS for this phone. the Note 1 has been updated to official JB. I would and I am sure you would hate to flash wrong files to wrong phone and wind up with a BRICK.
I am not trying to make it sound as if you don't even know what phone you have, but you would not be the first to flash wrong and kill your phone.
may I suggest you read up in the "Super Everything Thread", which is in the General Forum. you will find exactly that, EVERYTHING, there. Odin is no big deal and super easy to use. also most don't even use CWM or ROM MANAGER anymore. TWRP is now the RECOVERY of choice and much more user friendly.
there are also many YOUTUBE tutorals that can walk you through. but first, lets make sure you are in the right place.
your phone is a ???????? NOTE 1
you carrier is ?????? att, tmo, ver, sprint
it is presently running ??????? GB, ICS, JB
good luck and let us know if we help

Sorry about that... I have the Samsung Galaxy Note i717 for AT&T and I am running Gingerbread 2.3.6
I thought that if a rom could run on GB it could run on any phone that has GB but your response has lead me to know that it also depends on what phone I'm running, so thanks!
I'll go and double check to see if the rom I tried to install was for the note... I guess I'm lucky I didn't brick my phone when I tried flashing the other 2 rome xD... Gonna count my blessings tonight lol

don't need to apologize to me for anything. the more information the better. not only are there so many phones out there, there are variations of those phones that have gotten people in trouble.
you have the North American version
International version
Korean version
different internals and wont all take same ROM. just be careful my friend.

I am looking into this rom, looks pretty interesting. Flashing the "AT&T fix" though, do I put that on my SD card also?
Update: For some reason I can not install rome
I am not sure what I am doing wrong because I have Rom manager do everything when I put the .zip file on my SD card and the phone restarts like normal, I even tried doing it manually in cwm recovery. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. And this rom I know for sure is meant for GB and the i717.
Any suggestions? Thanks again
You mean it's a gb rom meant for the i717 galaxy note....... I think you may be a little mixed up on what a rom is and what your actually doing...... Explain in detail what exact steps your doing when your flashing the rom so someone can help you.

I appreciate your patience
Step 1: I put the downloaded .zip rom (saurom) into my external sd card in a special folder I named Roms
Step 2: I fire up Rom manager and go to "Install ROM from SD Card"
Step 3: Go to folder containing the Saurom .zip file and select it
Step 4: Make sure "Backup Existing Rom" and "Wipe Data and Cache" are selected
Step 5: Hit "Reboot And Install"
The phone will then turn off and restart like normal, I check but the rom did not install. I honestly have no idea how I'm screwing up lol
Do you have a custom recovery installed....

You have to understand this as well, the ROMS do not install in conjunction or within the current Stock ROM. They replace them. So as stated above you have to make sure you have CWM or TWRP installed and boot directly to the custom recovery. Then wipe your data/system/cache/dalvik and after all of that install the ROM of choice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525341
The very first thing listed in this topic is how to install Saurom. No where does it say to try and do it through ROM Manager.
Maybe that is where your hiccup is coming from?
No further instructions needed good luck and happy flashing

Alright so I forgot that I had to wipe the data/system / cache / dalvik
But even when I tried that just now and went into installing the .zip file it said that the installation failed, is it because cwm was removed when I wiped the device?
Update your recovery to twrp 2.6

What would updating the recovery do?
Gets rid of status 7 error that makes it unable to flash.

haha, only problem is that the rom hit an error anyways so I'm still lost at what I am doing wrong...
Another question, when I reset all of the settings and stuff before I flash the rom, wouldn't that get rid of titanium back up? then how would I restore my apps and data?
Yes you are right... But first stick your phone in the freezer for 2hrs...then microwave it for 3 mins... It will cause your recovery to reconstruct and see your internal storage enabling developer options to be on... Then hit the rom installer button.

Hello guys,
I have a problems, ive Flash my Sam-T859 and it seemed to work fine for almost a month but a few hours ago i was playing a Game (Contract Killer 2) and it just crashed and started doing the boot loop thing.
Ive Been on google all day non stop following instructions that lead to dead ends.
Ive used Odin3_v1.85 and did the "PDA" thing and it passed but went right back into the boot loop.
i read somewhere that a guy had the same problem i did but somehow figured it out. He wasnt sure how he fixed it but he said he thought it was because he needed a legit .Tar file so if someone could direct me to that would be most appreciated.

if you are rooted....
...boot into recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik cache ( dalvik is under advanced )...now reboot.
if you are not rooted...
...boot to stock recovery and wipe cache..reboot. If that doesnt work. Then i would go to sammobile .com and find the original firmware that your device came with and i would odin that...if that doesnt work. Then you are going to need a pit.file and use odin but you will repartition the sdcard this time.
google what ive told you here so you have a better understanding of what im saying.....and let me know.
good luck

alright...i think you have some corrupted data on the sdcard....i had this happen to me twice.
see if you can just wipe data...
... if you cant..then go into mounts and mount/format data..if you get really desperate you can format the sdcard from here...,but i would flash a rom first..the one you were running..that way you have an os to boot to..unless you have easy access to odin and a pc...inwhich case id wipe it and odin the original firmware and root all over again ...
keep me posted on the situation

ok...now were cookin..lol
im also assuming it has a seperate kernal and recovery partition....like my p7510 wifi only variant..
if this is correct...i would either use odin to flash a newer recovery or adb to push the recovery zip file to the device..if you push the zip..just flash it..then reboot recovery and try to do your wipes and flash a rom..
this is a long shot...but im baving trouble finding the original firmware tar..if this doesnt work...i would say our next step would be to flash a kernel in recovery or odin..then flash a rom that is compatible with the kernel..i know this sounds like its redundit....but im thinking your recovery or kernel might be clashing..if not seen it before on this device...but i have seen it on other devices..

Okay here`s the situation.
My GT-P7500 a.k.a p4 is having a problem. Whenever I boot up, it will freeze at the boot animation, and power off if not charging and go to the charging screen if is plugged. I was using SlimBean when I had the problem, flashed AOKP and still the same. Next, when I get to recovery, wiping data takes a looooooooooooong time and never finished (Seriously 3 hours and nothing). Wiping cache`s fine. Tried using TWRP but then I`m stuck on the TWRP Boot screen. I reverted back to CWM but still the same. Is it bricked or something? Is there any solution? I`m hoping for an answer ASAP. Thank you...

had the same issue on my p4wifi...it is a corrupted file.
1) you can odin a rom..this will wipe the data completely
or
2) try to flash the last rom you were successfully on..then wipe the sdcardthis will wipe the data completelyand cache..dalvik. Then try to boot it up.
If second option doesnt work( because of the dirty flash ). Then i would either use odin or push a rom to the device and do a clean install.
Just had a brain storm..you could use twrp file manager to delete files you dont need. Might get lucky and its something you downloaded recently. ( wasnt a twrp recovery when this happened to me )

Just for future reference..when you install a stock rom, like those from sammobile. It is usually needed to wipe data factory reset to get it to boot.
