newbie :) - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello guys
i got my note 10.1 few weeks ago it aready jb out of box well im kinda new to this android world i had sony xperia sola be4 but never done anythin with software now with kali linux out and is for note 10.1 (used to be a big fan of bt ) i want to have it on my note but im worried about the warranty and so is theres anyway to do that without voiding the waranty ?? wish i could find some help around here .
thxx in advance

Any time you fool around with the OS, unless official, you are out of warranty.
As you will need to root your tab to run linux then yes its definately out of warranty....
Go to the threads on flashing linux and it will tell you the pros and cons and possible pitfalls of installing it.
Be prepared for a bit of reading and ask any questions in that thread, you'll get answers faster....

Thx for replying , so if anythin happened id throw it away ? Or isnot it recoverable ? Cant be reversed ?

That's what this place is about, fooling around with this sort of stuff....
If there's life in the tablet and you can get to recovery or boot loader screen it is generally recoverable. How much time and effort you want to put into this is up to you...
Black screen with no power = hard brick and requires either j-taggig or service center...
If you have a hardware problem you might be able to get it fixed under warranty, not commiting to that, but you definately won't get warranty service on software problems unless you can restock...
And before doing anything do some research, the info's out there. Ask a question but be sure to show you have done some searching or you will get rumbled...

Hello I am very new

Hey Guys,
This is my first post & I am a complete noob when it comes to smartphone tech. I need a new phone to keep up with emails with clients, as well as texting, calling & web surfing. I can get the TP for $99 through amazon. But ive been browsing this forum & it seems alot of ppl arent happy with the TP. I have also seen the custom ROMs have made the phone a little better. So, my questions are:
Should I buy the TP for $99 or avoid all together?
If I do buy it, should I just not worry about voiding my warranty & hack it?
& where is the thread that explains what kicthens & the other basic terminology is? ( i cant find it)
Thanks so much!
If one is happy with his device he/she doesn't need any help from a forum. Besides from the real flashaddicts. These flashaddicts automatically have the most problems as well because of flashing/experimenting

Pls Help on Rom Flashing

Hello lads... I am new here and i have a hard time figuring out what to do...
Here it goes.. I bough an Iphone clone almost 1 year ago and i want to flash it.. the problem is that i only know its brand (its a Daxian x999+) and it has WM..
I dont know what tolls to use and furthermore wich OS is compatible... any help will be great
After a quick flick through the forums I'd say you wouldn't have much luck here, particularly as the main focus is HTC Phones. I don't know how compatible the hardware on your phone would be with anything manufactured by HTC. You could always try searching the forums with "Daxian" and see what you can turn up, there seemed to be a little bit of discussion but no real solutions.
Best of luck.
I doubt very much, in fact im pretty sure, that you wont find any roms that will work with your device im afraid, your best friend here is google......

[Q] I need help so I dont brick my phone!

I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?
i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section
also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!
I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!
sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!
you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help
If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?
To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.
Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.

[Q] Info on the latest in flash boxes and unlocking equipment ?

hey guys let me start by saying that i am a computer tech (by trade ahah) that lives in Australia.. i have recently been employed at a mobile phone repair center and have been thrown right into the deep end by my boss lol.. i find repairs on phones very similar to some laptop repairs. it seems to me to be just a more delicate procedure. im not here to promote anything of anykind. but i do need help..
my current skill set does not include flashing and or unlocking. installing an OS onto a phone or doing general software checks and repairs does not seem to be as easy than a computer.
basically my question is about flash boxes. My task set to me is to find one that is able to unlock mobile phones that are in use today in Australia.. from nokias to sonyerricson. U all get my point im sure, Im new to it all. what in everyones opinion is the best flash box or process to be able to learn how to 1st pick one that will do the job i want and secondly be easy to learn how to use. video help or tutorials bought with these boxes? any information i can find out would be very helpful and most useful to me..
thanks alot in advanced guys and im sorry to bore everyone with this pressing issue i have....
KDZ firmware updater sorry im pressed for time but if you lookup kdz updater on here you'll find it

[Completed] First timer, need a walk thru of sorts.. Basically i bought a sprint note 4 sm-n910p

And did a factory reset. When I did this, of course it had reactivation lock on, asking me to login to the Samsung account last used on device. of course I don't have, because well I bought the phone thinking I was getting a good deal :/ anyways, like I said im definitely new to all of this and to my understanding although it was a SPRINT device, it is possible to convert it to be used with a TMOBILE sim card and service.. I was told that rooting the device was what I needed to do inorder to use my TMOBILE service on the device. Which is exactly what ive been searching these forums and trying to get a straight answer on how to. Now the next problem is, I decided to check the IMEI and as you may have guessed, yes is indeed bad. It says reported lost/stolen. I know this also is only another hurdle on my road to happiness. Now, my question is, How do I go about flashing to a new IMEI, rooting my device, and going gsm to become tmobile compatable??? Please help somebody, thanks for reading all this I really am in a pickle and really don't want to be out the 300$ I paid for the phone. thanks
Hello Dear ,
