How do you tell if your ext4 or not?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doalittledanse:
If you're not sure you probably are not, there was definitely a process to it that would be remembered. If you have clockworkmod custom recovery then you are
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweich:
I'm going to steer clear of this for a while. I had ext converted and had clockwork recovery went back to a backup and that left me in the samsung black screen of death, heimdall'd back to stock and then tried another backup and that failed again. Right now I'm rooted without bootstrapping and I think I'll call it a day. If anyone gets this working, I'd love to know how you did it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loos3id:
Do you have to have an activated Galaxy Tab (no mods) to get this update OTA? I just use wifi, not a verizon mobile plan.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themikeg:
thanks, i did the bootstrap loader app, and have gone back to stock as I can get.

it just the stupid update will not load as far as I know I do have a custom kernel and thats it.

currently I am a wifi only no dataplan customer $20/month for a 1gb you must be crazy. :)

-- thanks, mike
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boushh:
Yeah, anyone NOT RUNNING A STOCK KERNEL OR ROM WILL GET A SOFT BRICK APPLYING THIS UPDATE

I just grabbed the kernel source and will start applying my patches to it later tonight, hopefully this source is a bit less messy than the DJ11 source, but I doubt it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinsmy1:
According to Verizons suppport site, if you are wifi only doing a check for updates is supposed to find it, I did not test that though.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doalittledanse:
I finally got the update working, I was rooted and on ext4. Here's what i did:

1) Used z4root to remove root

2) used the tutorial to return to stock found in this forum but instead of the files they provided, i used the ones found here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...o-files-minus-data-partition.html#post1370704

3) after using heimdall to flash those files, i immediately booted into recovery, wiped data and cache and flashed the update
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markgamber:
Just FYI, I was already back to stock using similar instructions and still rooted when I applied the update. Zero problems and still rooted.

Edit: If it has bluetooth HID device support, it's not for any device I own. I still can't connect it with a keyboard. Bummer, Scamsung being Scamsung.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themikeg:
w00t w00t this was what i was looking for... THANKS :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chmalpass:
I restored to stock same a above but without un-rooting. Just grab the files from the link, don't follow the instructions. I flashed FactoryFS-factoryFS.rfs, Kernel(zImage)-zImage, Param.lfs-param.lfs, Cache-cache.rfs, and Recovery-zImage.

Updated to EC02 from SD and rebooted. Still have root.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldpueblo:
For what it's worth, I had a rooted stock Tab. I downloaded CWM, flashed the recovery on, dropped the update.zip on the SD card, chose update from SD from the CWM menu, then did it from recovery, and it's now updated.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doalittledanse:
That was the first thing I tried. Didn't work for me sadly

No updates Found

I am just wondering when VZW pushes out these updates? When I check for new updates, It says Your system is currently up to date. I checked both on wifi and on VZW Network. Thanks for any info.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
^^^^^ Me too man where is my update? I know they roll these things out in waves but I feel like we should have it by now....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdiego:
I just want to keep it stock, as I like how it works now. I suppose they push the updates out only a few at a time each day in case there is a disaster. Only a guess on my part.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
can anyone confirm that the Bluetooth HID drivers work now?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markgamber:
Didn't work for me. Can't connect to a keyboard any more now than I could before the update.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinsmy1:
I can confirm they work....have been working with them since the update

Here is a video

By the way, you might have to activate the HID. Once you get the keyboard paired, long press on it in bluetooth setings and you should be an options choice. Under it, select the HID device. That should do it.

I will be happy to just get the update. I am on the west coast. maybe there doing the east first. who knows.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobboman:
dunno, just got the notification for the upgrade here on the on the east coast at 12.20am
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
hmmm it appears that I am getting the update but it is not applying correctly... the tab reboots then it starts unpacking it and about half way through it gets a triangle with an exclamation mark then reboots.

it has notified me of this update twice so far. any way to force the update or see where it is failing?

I am rooted but no custom kernel or anything.

thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahhk:
Update installed w/o issue for me (non-rooted). Havent noticed any major changes yet.

The wonderful "feature" of removing some of my icons from the home screens after rebooting is still there though! :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themikeg:
I fixed that by using ADW Launcher :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweich:
So I've had this update prompted three times now.

1st) I was rooted, bootstrapped, w/ clockwork recovery and the update soft-bricked my tab (I had to heimdall back to stock)

2nd) I was rooted that was all and the pushed update soft-bricked me and I had to re-return to stock.

3rd) The update failed, rebooted and all is well.

I wonder did z4root do something funky to my kernel that it won't update? How do some have no problem updating while rooted, yet I can't get it to work?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Soo I was just rooted, no EXT4 or anything and last night I told it to install the update. My tab rebooted, hung at the verizon screen for 2 hours!!!!! I didnt have my charger with me and it died so I started freaking out a little. I know you can reflash and what not but while I read a lot about it, I had never actually done it.

Got to work and plugged it in, and to my relief it booted up. Now im just waiting till I have enough battery to update it. I also removed my root, and I hope that it doenst mess with anything.......

EDIT: Just tried to install the update and it got about 1/3 of the way through and the yellow ! came up, tab rebooted and now it says im up to date but still on DJ11 :-(

Got the update notification last night over wifi on my Tab that is not activated. Was rooted with z4root and the update completed with no problems.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Does anyone know how to get the update to come back after it has failed? Mine isnt showing up anymore after it failed once.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweich:
Again, I've been prompted three times, so I would assume it'll get sent to you again.

Dumb question, but does anyone think usb debugging (one way or the other) would affect this update's success?

Also my kernel version is

2.6.32.9 root@sep-40 #3

is that what everyone else has who rooted with z4root?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
I do inded have the exact same kernel version and had usb debuggin enabled, that could very well be the problem.

Sorry I didnt see you saying you got promted three times :eek: Sometimes I read too fast for my own good
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweich:
I didn't mean to seem like a jerk about getting this update sent. Honestly I'm kind of pissed at how hard it seems to hack this device compared to other android devices I've had. I have the og droid and incredible and have flashed hundreds of kernels and roms on each and none have given me the headaches this tab has.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Yeah this is very true, but I really have to have a 7" tablet and this is by far the best one out right now so it is what it is. But this update thing is very annoying none of this should even matter it should go through without problems.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landale:
So i had the update pushed to my phone and when I went to do it, the phone restarted and nothing happened. I am still on D11 and now I no longer get the alert to update. Anyone have this happen to them?

I did have this exact problem. The update will come bakc you just have to be patient (Something that I am not :-)

I got the update this morning on my vzw tab that I only use on wifi. I unrooted with z4root first installed the update and re rooted with z4root. Everything seems to be working fine.

I can confirm that my Apple Bluetooth keyboard now works with my tab and I love it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landale:
I figured out why it didn't work. I forgot to unfreeze the Samsung apps! I just did the manual update.zip and all is well now.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
hmm un freeze samsung apps.... maybe it its failing on mine because I removed all the vzw bloatware....

How about bluetooth headset after the update?

I tried 4 BT headsets but all fail for voice input. Although now it offers the option to enable media audio and phone audio. The only way I can record audio is through the build-in mic or wire headset. Can anyone confirm bluetooth headset works after the update?

Update fails?

The update fails for me, I have tried both manually flashing the update and doing the OTA update when it comes. It will get about 1/3 of the way done on the progress bar when it is installing the update and then it will go to a screen with an exclamation point and then reboot.

Firmware version: 2.2

Baseband Version: S:I800.0.3V.DJ11

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 root@sep-40 #3

Build Number: SCH-I800.DJ11

I have tried using this method here to return to stock: jamesriter. com/blog/2011/02/27/how-to-restore-verizon-galaxy-tab-back-to-stock/

( I previously had it rooted using z4root)

My question is, is anyone else's failing like this? Does that kernel version throw up red flags with the "root@sep-40 #3 in it? I have tried to do the wipe data/cache, still doesnt want to update. Is there something I should be doing differently? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
How long till the update comes back after it fails? It has been over 12 hours and hasn't come back. Also how do u do the manual update?

^^^^^^^^^ I am getting this exact same error. Have u removed the bloatware and\or do u have usb debugging enabled?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bxgeniuz:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barn07:
About a few hours it came back. I do have usb debugging enabled
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Uh oh that's what I was expecting. I wonder why mine is taking so long to come back?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barn07:
Yeah I am somewhat annoyed by it... I just wanted to try out the bluetooth mouse that apparently this update fixes :confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
That is exactly what I want as well. Ao it looks like the problem might be usb debugging buy I can't be sure. I'm just waiting patiently for it to come back so I can try again without root and without usb debugging
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barn07:
Is kernel version 2.6.32.9 root@sep-40 #3 the stock kernel?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Yup I have never changed my kernel and that's what I have as well
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barn07:
I want to just say that the update is failing..and there's nothing we can do?...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Well if it fails tomorrow I'm going into the Verizon store to complain. Will they give me grief for having removed the bloatware like vznavigator and vcast junk or should I just install it from the market. I only rooted to do that and change lcd density so that's all I have changed....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokajay@gmail.com:
Just do a factory reset. As soon as you have a network connection (3G or Wi-Fi) the update will come up.

download the zip using heimdall flash like normal

factoryfs-factoryfs.rfs

zimage-zimage

param.ifs-param.ifs

cache-cache.rfs

recovery-zimage

then before first boot wipe data and cache reboot

manually use update.zip or just let it download itself

install update and your done

you can verify by going to "about device" build number will be SCH-I800.EC02

use superoneclick for root z4mod not working keep getting f/c's

go here to get your update installed 100%

and it will work this is complete stock made off a temp. root

flash it the using

factoryfs=factoryfs.rfs

kernel=zimage

param.ifs=param.ifs

cache=cache.rfs

recovery=zimage

before you boot wipe data and cache

once booted update will download

or download it and do it manual

then just use superoneclick to root
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Well it looks like USB debugging is not the issue. :confused:

Only other things I can think of are maybe if you have a newer version of flash it errors? I really dont know at this point im quite stumped.

Thanks for the info on how to manually update

EDIT: OK im getting pretty mad now. I just did a hard reset, didnt link any of my accounts or anyhting. The tab was completly stock and it still failed! How does that even make sense????
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweich:
This may be a n00b question, but what is it that makes this android device so much harder to hack? Are there too many kernel/rom/hardware/bootloader differences? I would love a knowledgeable dev to explain to me why the tab is such a different beast than most other android devices.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
It's not harder, it's just different. Most other companies just use Qualcomms Snapdragon offering while Samsung developed their own.. on the positive side you get more speed, on the down side the architecture isn't nearly as documented being it's mostly proprietary which slows down development significantly. The bootloaders are actually very hacker friendly minus the proprietary filesystem (easily resolved).

As for the update I used the same files mentioned earlier in this post to go back to stock, rebooted and it eventually prompted me for the update, clicked Install Update.. and it installed with no issues.. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Haha im so frustrated with this im laughing now. Oh well I have never used Heimdall to flash or anything but I supposed now is as good a time as any to learn. Im at work so ill have to wait till I get home to try this. For now I will just sit and play with my now stock galaxy tab :-(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
Stock? If it's already stock there is no point in using Heimdall
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
well I guess not stock, I just did the hard factory reset and wiped all cache
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
Stock kernel, filesystem and recovery partitions though? I'm not sure the update would work if you're using a custom kernel/recovery/rom, I'm fairly confident it wouldn't..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
I couldnt agree with you more but what I will be flashing is the stock kernel filesystem recovery and cache. Apparently somewhere along the road something got changed and the update doenst like it so it errors. By just flashing somoene's brand new stock tab files it should fix the problem (I didnt figure this out someone else on here did)

Now here comes the super noob question

when I want to use heimdall should I have the tab on when I plug it in to my computer to flash or do I need to boot into a differnt mode???
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokajay@gmail.com:
How many people (if any) who are having problems with running the update (failing 1/3 of the way) used the Koush's Market app at some point? (VerizonTabBootstrap.apk)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokajay@gmail.com:
Using the files from this zip work. I think most of us were either using one still allowed us to keep root or the changes that Koushs VerizonTabBootstrap.apk did.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
I have never used the bootstrap, never converted the file system, never flahsed a rom or kernel. The only thing I had ever done was root using z4root. The only root programs I ever installed were titainium backup, lcd density changer and setCPU, but I had uninstalled setCPU literally a day after I downloaded it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokajay@gmail.com:
Ok, well download the zip I referenced in my last post. Use heimdall (instructions on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967175)

IMPORTANT: Make sure you only use those 4 files in the 5 spots in heimdall

factoryfs.rfs -> FactoryFS

zImage -> Kernel (zImage)

param.lfs -> Param.lfs

cache.rfs -> Cache

zImage -> Recovery

After you restore it make sure you go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset then the Update will come up again.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
To summarize my experience:

stock vzw tab with the exception of z4 root and I had manually removed a bunch of bloatware like vzwnavigator etc.

it auto-tried to update 2x and failed both times about 1/3 the way in with the yellow triangle w/exclamation mark.

replaced the bloatware i had removed, didn't unroot or anything.

since it was not retrying the update for a few days, i forced another update by changing the date on the tab 2 days ahead then going to about->check for updates (where is said up to date for about a 30 seconds before realizing there was the update)

it updated without a problem this time -but i lost root - so now i'll just re-root and re-remove the bloat until boush gets the hid fixes etc into one of his kernel/rom builds.

UPDATE:

What i've found that doesn't work after the update

z4root - uninstalled and used superoneclick root 1.7 (1.8 download seemed to be corrupt from the xda link i had found, but 1.7 worked fine)

VPNC - was working before- i suspect that superoneclick screwed my busybox installation since the update didn't change my tun.ko file. Re-running busybox installer found multiple copies of busybox which it is uninstalling and supposedly installing 1.18.4 - but its been on the "please wait" for several minutes >.<

Thanks to lexriley!!! My tab updated...finally!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
