[G Tablet General] robbbzilla:
Hi everyone,

I have a newbie question because I have read and re-read a few of the stickies here but am still confused. I used to have an elocity a-7 and to flash the rom I would simply copy a file called update to the micro sd and boot into the recovery and it would update. Seems there are a few ways to do this with the Gtab and I am very confused and I do not want to brick my device. Lack of the market is driving me crazy as are other buggy thing in the stock os.

So I have my tab connect to my pc and I can see an update file there, now if I simply delete that file and replace it with the renamed VEGAn-tnt and then run an update it should work right? Am I missing something here? Several stickies say to install clockwork first but just doing that is confusing to me and I would rather just install an update and see if it works.

Am I right about the procedure or am I missing soemthing.

Thanks for any help in advance and sorry if this question has been asked before I am just trying to get clarity before I do this.

ClockWorkMod is extremely useful and installing it is as easy (and identical actually) as flashing ROMs on the A7 (owned one for about 3 days before returning it and getting my tab :) )

This was the first post I followed and is a great one doing the initial setup on your gtab:

1st wifi and update with viewsonic. Updates kernel to 3588 or something. Then I downloaded the tnt lite .rar file from roebeet tnt 4.3.0 and extracted it with winzip on my desktop. It gave me 3 files: update.zip, command, recovery.. ok. Drag command file inside recovery folder on your desktop. Now you have 2 files to only worry about. Plug your USB cable into your tower or laptop. A USB message appears on screen of gtab. Yes activate USB. Go to start, computer, and gtab will be there. Double click on gtab and open up file structure. I renamed my update.zip and recovery files oldupdate.zip and oldrecovery. Then drag the 2 files on your desktop into /sdcard to replace the ones you just renamed. Deactivate USB. Turn off gtab. Press volume up button and power button. You will see a box with a green arrow filling box. When it comes up. OH MY GOD. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL. DEVICE. I have had it 2 days and I have Skype, all kinds of games, and I can't put it down. I hope this helps. Follow the other sticky post on installing roms the hard way. My is great. I hope you update. Dan

This is my first attempt at a boot animation and I think it turned out pretty good. It is pretty basic but looks great and runs very fast and smooth. The video is pretty useless since it runs extremely slow, looks horrible, and doesn't loop (lol) but it'll give you a basic idea.

To use, simply ADB push the file to /system/customize/resource (for sense roms, not sure of the location for AOSP builds) (Be sure that the file is named bootanimation.zip)

I recently flashed froyo 4.6 on my evo, and flashed the speedo battery icon mod I used with 4.5.

I've noticed it does not show the true percent, just 100/80/50/etc.

Is there anyway to fix this, or does anyone have a stock battery icon with no percent?

Thank you.

The sprint, verizon, and U.S. Cellular gtabs are identical. I cross flash between the 3 all the time. Check out the rom made by randomking called osprey for sprint. The galaxy cube rom for verizon is pretty good too. You can also install ics: cm9 or aokp. Our model is p1c. There really wasnt much devlopment being done for this tab in the past. But cm9 looks promising... Im currently using osprey. Maybe u guys can come up with something new... :)

You can try wiping cache and factory reset in open recovery and if that doesn't work I hope you made a back up before you tried metamorph. If you did you can restore that in open recovery and if you didn't you can just restore Dexter's nandroid and wipe after that.

If you were using an update patch, re-apply it. If that doesn't work then try wiping all data:

Im an idiot and i forgot to backup my stock rom when i rooted etc.

I installed cyanogen mod 7 rc3.

So yesterday i charged my phone overnight and suddenly it wont turn on, i figured out it was my battery. I want to go to sprint so they can replace my battery, but my phone is rooted and i dont think they will take it cause its rooted.

Can anyone help me getting it back to stock rom like completely start from scratch as i just bought the phone from sprint??!!!

Help Please!!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
As long as you can power the phone on and your battery is charged up you can return to stock. You just need to run the unrevoked S on tool, which you flash in recovery. That will turn S on. After that, you just need to run an ruu. You can download an ruu as a .exe, and run it from your computer, or you can download it as a PC36IMG, and put it on your sd card, then run it from the bootloader. Once you complete those steps, you will be back to stock, unrooted. Just like you took it out of the box.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Download the unrevoked forever S on zip that I attatched. You want to put that on the main directory of your sd card. Then boot to recovery, (i'm not sure which recovery you use, but either will be similar) shutting your phone off, and then holding your power button and volume down button together, until you get to the bootloader screen. Once at the bootloader, select recovery (using volume buttons to navigate, power button to select). Once in recovery, select 'flash zip from sd card', or 'install zip from sd card'. Then choose the unrevoked forever s on zip. Flash it. That will/should turn s on. Once it flashes, turn the phone off, and boot back to the bootloader. Confirm that it says Ship S on, at the top of your bootloader. If so, you can proceed to the next step. Download the newest PC36IMG.zip from the link I attatched (3.70 software). Place the zip on the main directory of your sd card, and make sure that it's named exactly PC36IMG (capitals matter, no lower case). Once it's on the main directory of your sd card, power your phone down, and boot to the bootloader. This time, it should find the PC36IMG, scan it, and after a short while ask you to update. You select Volume up to say yes. That should complete successfully. Be sure not to touch the phone when it's doing that, it may reboot once or twice, and you'll see some 'different' screens. Just let it finish. Once it's done, reboot, and you should boot into a stock, unrooted rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Download this file PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip (202.01 MB) and rename it PC36IMG.zip then place it on the root of your SD card. If another file with that name is already present, move that file to a folder.

Anyway, shutdown your EVO. Enter the bootloader screen by pressing the down volume button while also pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will enter the bootloader screen. There will be a short pause followed by a few lines of text scrolling on the screen. The PC36IMG.zip file will be AUTOMATICALLY DETECTED and you will be prompted to install. Follow the prompts to install. Afterwards, reboot. Be patient. You will appear to hang at the a screen with arrows as well as at the white HTC screen. BE PATIENT. If you're booted into recovery. No problem. Simply select reboot and be patient. After some time has passed, you will enter the homescreen and see the screens you saw when you first purchased your EVO.

i renamed it to PC36IMG.zip also tried PC36IMG lol and went to bootloader and it quickly said PC36 something like that no image pretty fast. any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
If you are using Windows to rename the file, you don't want to add the .zip The reason is because the .zip is already there, Windows just hides it on ya. Name it in all capitals PC36IMG. If you add the .zip, when using windows, what you really end up with an improperly named file, that looks like this: PC36IMG.zip.zip.

If the file is named correctly, and is on the main directory of your sd card (not in any folders, just on the main directory of the card), then the bootloader will scan the card, find the file, and ask you to update. So just check how it's named, and it's location, then try again.

If you've already confirmed that the file is on the main directory of your sd card, and that it's definitely named correctly, and it's all capital letters, then it's possible you got a bad download. You can check the md5 sum. Also, make sure that the file is the correct size. Compare from where you downloaded it, it should tell you the file size. Then check your actual file size. You could just try redownloading it, and trying again

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
I need some help... Please!

I have a I9000T galaxy S phone and I soft bricked it. This is the story:

I flashed my phone using Odin with ROM JPY_JPY_JPY (downloaded form samfirmware, only file: PDA), and then flashed supermod-kernel-k13d-500hz...then I uploaded Modem UGJL2 for Froyo as an update.zip file (to get band 850 mhz for my country) and applied successfully!

My phone worked as a charm. No bricking.

Then I realized that there was a newer ROM: I9000XWJS5 with the XEN thing.

Since the ROM has the 3 files (MODEM, CSC, and PDA) and I read that it needed a different PIT, I flashed with the re-partition checkbox checked and with the 803 pit file.

It didn't get through. It got stuck at flashing sbl.bin

I had to unplug it after several minutes and I realized that it was soft bricked. It didn't work but download.

I tried to go back to JPY. After many tries and errors (changing PIT to 512 and repartitioning), finally I could flash back to JPY ROM. At the end of the process it reboots and the system get into Android system recovery <3e>. I can read at the bottom the following signs:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 (invalid argument)

E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount DBDATA:

your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

copy default media content failed.

If I reboot the system, it boots and I see the splash "S" moving theme, and it seems that it is booting but then it stops and it starts vibrating from time to time... then the screen goes black and nothing happens (but vibrating from time to time). It never appeared the "login screen"

Reading here and there, some advised to flash first the speedmod-kernel with the PIT 512 file and re-partitioning. I did so, and then, after boot I was able to get into Clockworkmod recovery screen. The menu is green and the version is 2.5.1.0

Someone suggested to flash to JPU ROM (that way it fixed a similar problem) but when I did so, it takes me to the beginning (the process hung at sbl.bin)...

I've been flashing and reflashing with different options these 3 ROMs (JPU, JPY, JS5) the only one that completes the flashing successfully is JPY, and eventhough it tries to boot, it fails to present the logon screen (dots for password)... JPU and JS5 hang at sbl.bin and after that, no boot... freeze. I have to flash back to JPY.

I have read tons of forums, I have learned a lot, but I believe I need deeper advices.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
Some further information. JPU, JPY, JS5 are ROMs that were downloaded from samfirmware.com... I guess that is what you mean when you advice to flash any stock ROM. Am I right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droilfade:
Guessing you have a I9000m. If yes, Flash JPC with 512 PIT and repartition ticked. You will still be in a boot loop. Take out battery and then load JL2 into PDA of ODIN and flash. You could try it even if you do not have an i9000m but at your own risk! Advice is free, phone isn't!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
No... I don't have a I9000m, I do have a I9000T

When I flashed the JPY it turned a I9000, but I applied the Modem UGJL2 which adds the 850mhz band (which is the only difference between the I9000T and I9000.

Someone suggested going to JM8 (Eclair 2.1), but I have read that in some cases it produces hardbrick... what do you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froysm:
Oh, been there! I can give you some advice... First, i will recommend heimdall for flashing, it allows a little bit more of control with the files you want to flash. Then, i had this problem with the dbdata... i think it's becacause of the repartition thing, honestly i'm not sure but do not worry, if you can enter download mode it's recoverable.

So, let's try something. Download heimdall, install it, install your drivers and then download the rom in this post (it's and old build of Darky's Rom), the thing here is that you <<have>> to flash this with the command line client, so you can specify the order of the files to flash leaving at the very end the Sbl.bin and modem.bin (Both files can't be flashed neither with heimdall nor Odin in my Galaxy i9000T). Obviulsy the heimdall flash will fail with the Sbl.bin file, so you just pull out your battery and power up your phone. That should do it... it have failed a couple of time for me, so if it fails for you (It gives you a boot loop) tell me so i can share my other method. If this works you should be able to enter CWM and flash a custom ROM or be able to flash another stock rom but be careful, do not flash bootloaders, modems or do a repartition (That's why i prefer Heimdall over Odin).

I hope you could have your phone back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
Thank you froysm... What I see in your post is that we are going to try to flash a Darky's ROM in order to have CWM so we can flash a custom rom?

If that is so... I already have CWM... It is version 2.5.1.0 with its menu in green.

What is custom rom? are they the roms from samfirmware? I tried JPU and JS5 and they hang at slb.bin... the only one that flashes successfully is JPY, and eventhough it "runs", somehow it is not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
In regard heimdall... Do I have to have ubuntu in order to install it? Is there a heimdall for windows?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froysm:
Well, if you have CWM try one of the roms of the world famous romkitchen Cook a rom, download it, enter recovery mode, go to mounts & storage (and connect your phone to the computer) and select mount USB storage, put the donwloaded zip file in your phone. Then unmount, go bak to the main CWM menu, select install zip from sdcard, the choose zip from sdcard, find your rom and flash it! However... as far as i can remember i could never mount my phone with CWM 2.x so may need to flash Darky's Rom just to be able to mount your phone, put the zip file there and then reflash with the new ROM viw CWM...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froysm:
Yes, heimdall is available for Windows here It's pretty straight forward, just put your phone in Download mode, select the files you want to flash and hit start.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
Thank you... believe it or not you poured some light into my darkness.

I have 3 issues and I hope you can clarify...

How would you order flash methods, in order of importance? Odin, CMW, heimdall? Which one is better, which one is worse?

I'm able to flash speedmod-kernel-k13d-500hz... that is what brings me the CMW v2.5.1.0.... should I try to install a newer version of CMW? or should I stick with heimdall option?

Flashing ROMs such as Darky's rom can be potentially harmfull? I mean, can my phone end with a hardbrick?
