Downloaded 1.7 (1.8 wouldn't unzip from the link i was using here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682)

unzipped

ran SuperOneClick.exe (SOC) as administrator.

It did say waiting for device, and hung on that for a while. So i unplugged tab, waited until windows gave the device disconnected sound. waited another minute or so to ensure tab fully recognized it was disconnected - i've seen it fail to recognize that. If you want to be extra sure, reboot tab.

Closed restarted SOC

waited 1 minute

re-connected tab

waited about 1 minute

clicked root

it said waiting for device for a minute or so before it started doing anything. Basically just give it time.

waited for it to get to the test phase - which took about 3 minutes

tested ok

rebooted tab.

it maybe the first time i tried I was just too impatient.

You may need drivers to get it to work - i didn't since i use adb regularly and my eclipse development environment sees the tab. I will say that occasionally adb doesn't recognize when things are connected.

if it still doesn't work, try stopping SOC, killing adb.exe in task manager if it is running, then starting from scratch.

basically be patient i guess.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markgamber:
There appears to be a problem with the update and Flash. Prior to applying this update I had no problem at all watching live baseball using MLB at Bat 11 or using Skyfire or Dolphin and watching it right off of MLB's web site. Since applying the patch past games play just fine but live video doesn't play. Not with the Flash included with the patch and not with the 10.2 update off the Market. I have the same apps installed now as I did before the update and I've wiped the SGT twice and reinstalled everything in the same order and manner I would before, all to no avail. If anyone notices anything funny about Flash, let me know. I suppose I'll try flashing back the original system files when I get home and see if it all suddenly works again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
I downloaded 10.2 from the market and have not had any problems.

Does anyone know if this update fixed the galley battery drain issue?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markgamber:
Well whatdda know....I got home from work and flashed the original system back onto the SGT and suddenly MLB at Bat works fine. In addition, I noticed a behavior change with the update. Namely, mlb.com opens a second "window" in which to display the streaming game video. Prior to the update the flash control would appear in the center of that window and sized to fit in the window and I could resize and move the control anywhere within the window I pleased. The reason this is important is because the top quality setting is too much for the SGT and I need to move the Flash control to the left and resize it so I can easily access the quality setting and knock it down a couple of notches. After the update, the Flash control was stuck to the top of the window, too large for the window and while I could size it down somewhat, it was far more difficult to access and manipulate the quality setting. Now that the original system is back on the SGT, it works exactly as it had prior to applying the update.

SO...I wasn't losing my mind, the update did something less than desirable to Flash. And I never saw a HID setting for bluetooth and I never got it to even pair with my working Apple bluetooth keyboard. Me:1 Samsung:0.

Update: I got the notification of the update and let it install again thinking maybe something went wrong the first time and no, same problems, odd behaviors and so on. It also causes problems with my weather and MLB widgets in that they take a relatively LONG time to update flipping the screen from landscape to portrait or vice versa. This thing is definitely not right. Now seeing how I have absolutely no desire to install the update again, I wonder how I tell this thing to knock it off with the repeated notifications that there is one?

And finally...I emailed Verizon support with the problem and asking for advise on what I'm supposed to do when the update repeatedly breaks functionality. Should be fun to see what kind of runaround I get.

I rooted with z4root and installed rom manager (planned to learn how install a new rom).

Since the update titanium says I'm no longer rooted. Tried to reroot but z4 crashed.

I see a lot of instructions on how to get back to stock but it seems all the instructions assume a certain level of experience that I don't have. Is there any step by step that explains the process to a novice. I have an IT background but this phone/tablet stuff is all new to me. I'm so frustrated.....:confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdog_12345:
Finally got it to work. I had to use another computer. Jeesh what a pain.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PookiePrancer:
Use Superoneclick to root it again. I had the exact same experience you did, and that worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TadPole415:
Would it be too cynical to suppose a few updates from Gingerbread were thrown together in EC02 with the primary purpose of such mandatory update being to disable Z4ROOT exploit? (Is this only the 1st attack on rooting? Is it likely Z4ROOT/onboard rooting will return to the Galaxy Tab?)

Since reading about system changes which reportedly interfere with EC02 installation, I have searched for information that would indicate what changes *I* need to make to my slightly-modified Tab, before allowing EC02 update to run.

I hope my root foray is inconsequential (to EC02):

- Z4ROOT ("permanent" root)

- WPA_SUPPLICANT file swap (now adhoc network friendly)

- CPU TUNER (running in the background)

- ROOT EXPLORER

(I wonder whether alleged EC02 improvements are worth giving up easy onboard rooting...but it would seem "mandatory update" leaves little choice.)

If SuperOneClick would not completely, file-by-file, undo Z4ROOT root, it would seem prudent to allow Z4ROOT to unroot itself...before EC02 inactivates Z4ROOT...?

Related questions:

1) Plan: Z4ROOT/unroot; then uninstall Z4ROOT (before running EC02 update)--'alternatives? (I'm thinking/hoping flashing is unnecessary for such minor/? changes.)

2) Does CPU TUNER (superuser access) need to be uninstalled before unrooting, or will it (and ROOT EXPLORER) reside comfortably until next (SuperOneClick) root?

3) Will the replaced WPA_SUPPLICANT file survive EC02 update? Interfere? (checksum?)

4) Last and least, I find the concept of "critical bloatware" a mystery (by presumed definition). Thus I'm mystified by various EC02 make-work attempts which include "restoring bloatware"...almost as if a successful EC02 update relies on some "absolute position", rather than update files/drivers...'sUp wit' dat?

Just another noob' tryin' to figure "it" out.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
my guess on the bloat requirement is that they have a script that deletes old copies of their bloat so they can install new and bigger bloat.and the update fails when it can't find the files to delete. just a guess though.

on an unrelated subject...either the update or super one click has trashed my working vpnc configuration. since update I have yet to get it to work. it thinks it connects but won't route traffic.

not sure if busybox install is hosed, if I have bad symlinks, or if vpnc just doesn't work with this update..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slamorte:
So glad that this update allows HID bluetooth keyboards now. Does anyone know if bluetooth headsets will work now as well? (to make calls via Skype or Fring)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin M:
That one I can answer... The update script attempts to patch some of the "enhanced system apps" :rolleyes: added by VZW. When the script can't find the file, where it expects to find it, the script will simply stop running. If you look at the recovery.log file in /cashe/logs/ it will show you where it stopped. Mine crashed while trying to patch VCastMusic.apk, which I had deleted.

After I restored my system to stock using lexriley's fix, the update worked fine.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All4TheFam:
We have 3 tabs here rooted, romed, and custom kernels w/lagfix. Even with all of that this update still tryed to hit. Well should I say did hit. Ignored my tab first round and just restarted, borked wifes on first go, and daughters. Reloaded their tabs back to rooted romed, and custom kernels, but daughter lost hers for the night. It was late anyway and worked with the update and what I have installed and discovered a couple things.

FIRST: I do recommend installing this update. Roll back to stock and let it update then root, rom kernel whatever you want. This update has a beautiful new radio in it that has greatly improved the performance of my bt as well as faster 3g and stronger signal strength. At my work i used to get only 2 bars and i now get 4. But even after the update and rooting and roming, the update still tryed to push.

SECOND: I figured out how to stop the update from trying to push. Use root explorer and browse to system folder under the root directory and look for your "build prop" file. Long press till you see a menu pop up. Select "Open in Text Editor" and change everything that says DJ11 to say EC02. Press your menu soft key to get a menu, select save and exit. Restart your tab and your done. No more update notice and life is good with a new radio. If you have to flash back to stock then you will have to let the update hit again, until and updated stock rom comes out or someone can isolate the radio into a zip.

SIDE NOTE:

Got tired of waiting for custom themes for the VZW tab, so currently working on porting/creating a bunch for the deodexed tw based roms on here. Have a few made but still in testing. Will post as progress is made.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TadPole415:
Restraining EC02 update (?)

So edited system build_prop file can misrepresent Tab as having EC02 update installed? Thanks, All4TheFam!

Until I understand (and become capable/comfortable with performing) flashing/restoring machine state, I find myself more or less forced to keep my Tab in a known state. So I hope to continue blocking alleged updates (especially those with probable improvements for carriers, not users) which could curtail usefulness.

I must deter EC02 at least until I verify:

1) that AD-HOC friendly mod (WPA_SUPPLICANT file substitution) will survive update.

2) that, subsequent to EC02 update, Tab can be easily rooted AND unrooted at will ('recall reading, somewhere/?, that SuperOneClick could be a "one-way" root, with some sort of flash update required to UNroot...?)

So it's comforting that editing build_prop file can feign EC02 update status (if/when recurrence notice becomes irritating). I hope there is no "timeout" on install prompt; that is, a date when an outstanding update will install without permission during powerup... (Hmmmm...perhaps I should edit build_prop file NOW!?)

While there's no progress when immobilized, hopefully there'll be no harm, no foul (loss-of-functionality), either.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webrover83:
I tried to do the update on my wife's tab (want to see if my BT Kbd works) and it Fails on the WPA_SUPPLICANT file. So I would guess that your Ad-hoc file will get overwritten.

The other question is can we use the original process to put it back? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TadPole415:
All the King's horses, and all the King's men...

I wouldn't be surprised to hear no future WPA_SUPPLICANT file substitution will regain ad-hoc networking...not without additional, deeper probing into Tab system...all the while hoping this pessimistic WAG proves completely wrong.

It appears EC02 is truly an Enhancement:Carrier update...a few bones thrown for users, but only to conceal the primary purpose of such an update...which makes an official Gingerbread release seem more unlikely. That sham tag line only dropped two words to hide the truth:

YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB JUST GOT EVEN BETTER FOR VERIZON!!

Even so, changing all "DJ11" references to "EC02" in /SYSTEM/BUILD.PROP worked--'no update notices for days! (Thanks, again, All4TheFam!)

Which raises another issue:

Would someone who has migrated from DJ11 to EC02 please post a system-updated BUILD.PROP--I would much like to compare files. (In possibly faulty, definitely paranoid, noob' fashion, I'm wondering what else [in that file/?] 'they' can key on...perhaps dates?...'cause, don't you know, 'they're' reading these forums...).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TadPole415:
Gingerbread?

Well, here we go again...yet another update push.

f82098f8b3f7.update_SCH-I800_EC02_to_EI04A.zip

69.68MB

04NOV2011 18:55 (when my TAB downloaded update file)

This latest 69MB file supposedly contains version 2.3.5 - Gingerbread? (TBD).

Meanwhile, I'm wondering if the same trick (editing /SYSTEM/BUILD.PROP) can stall this latest update...? (i.e., changing all 7 references to EI04A... or...?)

While front camera tweaks may (eventually) be useful (in SKYPE, whatever), I've been happily using a few ROOTed apps (and an occasional AD HOC network) and nothing I've heard so far seems worth the hassle of RErooting ("not" to mention backing everything out so DJ11 (BUILD.PROP currently edited to simulate EC02) can FIRST update to EC02 so that the EI04A update will, then, "take"...what a pain!!).

I do not trust mandatory updates. As long as existing firmware does what I need, I could not care less about alleged updates...especially when I, first, have to sacrifice functionality (to which I've become accustomed) in order to install unverified improvements... and then scramble to attempt to recover what was lost...

So, please, could someone who does allow their TAB to update to 2.3.5 please mention whether the /SYSTEM/BUILD.PROP file then indicates EI04 (only?) or EI04A (or what?). Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezeuba:
I have a problem. I was on EF01, but because of this upgrade I had to downgrade to EC02. I got the update quite alright, but it meets an error during installation. I checked and saw that my baseband reads S:I800.0.3V.EF01. I guess this means the baseband for EF01. Please how can I downgrade to the baseband for EC02, which I suspect is why the update is not running well.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks all.

NB.

I found a modem.bin file for VZW Galaxy Tab. I flashed this and now I have unknown baseband. I switched to wifi and got the update again, tried installing it and now stuck at "Updating modem"...

Any help please...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michele31415:
Like many others, I've got a Verizon Tab 7 on 2.2 with DJ11, kernel 2.6.32.9 with root@sep-40#3. I rooted it with z4root and removed the bloatware. Then I took the EC02 update and it ran but didn't work. I'd like to have that for the Bluetooth fix.

Someone mentioned that the update script was failing because it couldn't find the bloat apps to update them. I'd like to try restoring them but I can't remember what I got rid of. I know I dumped Blockbuster, VCast and My Verizon. I still have VZ Navigator.

Is there anything else I need to restore before trying this update again? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michele31415:
While waiting for a reply to my earlier post, I decided to see if I could figure this out myself. I took a look at /cache/log/recovery.log where I found this:

So apparently it doesn't like the fact that I had dumped DailyBriefing.apk. Unfortunately, that was one of the ones for which I had no backup. I found a copy of it on the web but it would not install ("Failed to install" error). However, it does show up as an icon. But now the tab claims that it is "up to date" so I have to wait for the next time it discovers EC02 to see if I can get the update to finish. Unless someone has a way to force this process to start. I still have the update zip file on the Tab.
[Milestone 2 General] galbur:
Hi Everybody want sell my .......... moto2, is new only one time was on for 5min. I think 300 Euro? Best is in Region Swiss, Germany. Lockfree.

I think if they don't unlock the Bootloader, this handy is unusable. And i have time to wait and the nerve for this sh... A locked Bootloader with an OpenSource OS on it. Well what for idiots this Motorola's Chiefs.

lol, I'm a little Business with a couple of Clients. Last week 3 peoples have ask me for Moto XOOM (or so) they won't Ipad. HELL

Have ask there forget this Moto **** and buy IPAD. Today this Client come to my Business with an IPAD he's very Happy :-) I know i would never buy an IPAD.

Dear Motorola your "Security ****" is not to protect you,

is to beat down your Business. Motorola ---> NEVER ...

cheers
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Hate motorola, too! Yes 300 Euro will do...

At the moment it seems like SonyEricsson is doing a consumer friendly turn: Gingerbread for the X10 and then they open all bootloaders...

unfortunately, they do not have an qwertz Android yet...

Greetings from Germany!
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Hahaha, what does the bootloader have to do with phone usability? I see no relation.

This is not an FS forum BTW.
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
What it does? U can't make calls, send sms and e-mails, surf on the internet, play games and much more! Your phone is like a stone in Your pocket - Milestone.

Sorry guys but You are exaggerating a little bit ;)
[Milestone 2 General] galbur:
Everthing... the fact is i don't want buy a ferarri whit a mini cooper engine inside.

I don't need this blur **** which make the phone slow down. Sry but I'm from IT Environment. This is the same **** like MS, for example Windows7 whit it's Indexing Services, or IE9 cannot be install on XP. The Computers Hardware become fast, but the OS slow it down. My old computer is faster than a new standard installed Computer.

I want a device which i can update and modified. There is no concern secret on Milestone2 it's an OpenSource OS on it which everyone can modify, but not so on locked devices like MS2.

Many peoples want a devices for future like me for 1-2 years, my old xperia x1 is now 2 years old but better than MS2. And i Don't want a devices on which i cannot install a new aplication which i need, because the answer is oh sry you cannot install this on android 2.2 you need 2.3

Now it's 2011 Peoples who buy technical devices are not stupid from time to time every people become a "very little expert" :-) which know what he can do whit his device, but the answer will be sry not on this device you will need an other.

In terms of Motoblur every concern have it's advertisement **** on their devices, like HP, Acer, Toshiba on Computer Branch it's the same on Phone Branch. But on Computers you can modified it. example install a HP Printer you don't need install the complete CD, lol my PC lose a lot of Performance and my startup from 40s before is now on 60s, you can install only the drivers. I think everybody know this.

All they will make a devices Userfriendly on costs of the performance, but be honest, i don't need this "dumbass ****" who ask me 3 times "are u sure". That have nothing to do with Userfriendly, this is only stupid ...

Hope everyone can break the bootloader and make many peoples happy

Cheers

:facepalm:

Is it just me or is this board infested with whining and whimpering? Are all the other boards the same? You have the internet, there's no excuse for not researching before you made your purchase. Follow the timeline of the original milestone if you're truly THAT desperate for or ROM.

I thought I left the schoolyard a long time ago.
[Milestone 2 General] patton82:
Yeah, iPad2 has unlocked bootloader :rolleyes:

This thread has non sense.

Motorola uses this policy from a long time and you had to inform before buying it... nothing has changed and M2 is perfectly usable
[Milestone 2 General] galbur:
yes u two are so right ...

"I thought I left the schoolyard a long time ago." REALLY

:closed
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Yes it is. I'm really annoyed too because of that. Whining, laziness, trolling on Motorola... Almost no constructive posts...

I'd really like people to get a grip or get another phone. You should've sold your phone, without posting this thread. This is simply useless.
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
How ******* do you have to be though, to buy a phone without checking if it suits your needs? Did you not do any research prior to buying the phone and did not know the bootloader was locked? If it i such a problem, why did you even buy the phone?
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
i dont see your point of advertising your phone on this forum when you have ebay.

do your research before you buy a phone, and if you know the bootloader is locked, but want a phone with an unlocked bootloader, why'd you go for this phone.

pointless non constructive thread.

how can i enable ap2sd on gingerbread instead of doing it manually via application management? for froyo, there was a adb shell code you can set so that whenever you download an app, it automatically goes into the sd card..is there a way to do this?
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
hi, im using racht floyo 0.15 and eveything works pretty well, but when i load up a GB Rom i cant access the sd card, its not recognised?!

any suggestions?

i dont know if i had to create a partition or something?

thanks - G
[XPERIA X8 General] xdelapan:
what is GB Rom? make sure you have one FAT32 partition on your SD
[XPERIA X8 General] apprentice01:
I was having problems with my sdcard card its ext and win32 keeps saying unsupported so to fix this temporary download terminal emulator. open the problem

now type

su

mount /sdcard

then open up settings, storage and then press mount the sdcard and should work
[XPERIA X8 General] aldee_s:
i think it shouldnt be partitioned. so only one FAT32 partition one the sdcard
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
GB as in Gingerbread (any rom that is 2.3 basically)

its only those 2.3 ROMs that my sd card isnt recognised

I opened up terminal emulator on my phone but cant type anything? no keyboard appears

hmmm thanks for the replies but still stuck
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
My sd card is win32, have no idea what ext means...

I already have terminal emulator, I open it but dont know how to type cuz my keyboard doesnt appear??

thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
I have removed ext2 partition and mount it and app2sd on fat32 works too so you can remove it and when you are in terminal emulator press menu button then touch toogle soft keyboard.
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
what is app2sd? I heard of it, ive never looked into it though, is it an app? in settings I select to save apps to sd card anyway so does that matter? its confusing as hell! all I want is my sd card to work on 2.3 Roms...ill get there soon, bare with me hahahah

thanks for all replies also!
[XPERIA X8 General] apprentice01:
try pressing on the screen where terminal is and keyboard should pop up
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
right...i just loaded up my cm7rc4 Rom, opened up TERMINAL EM and have the keyboard...

I typed SU...approved the superuser blah blah...

then typed mount /sd...

now its says 'mount: can't find /sd in /etc/fstab

hmmm, mayb i should just stick with the working racht 0.15?...
[XPERIA X8 General] apprentice01:
you need to type mount /sdcard when type su try typing ls

it should give you directory and see if you have folder sdcard
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
teminal emulator...

'mount/ sdcard'

'permission denied (are you root?)'

what now

errr
[XPERIA X8 General] apprentice01:
yes I am well get root and try it again
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
well i typed 'su', then 'mount /sdcard' and there was abit of hope....

then it sed 'mounting' (and other stuff came up)....but failed at the end, 'no such directory'!

im guna give it a miss for today, but will return soon to see if anythin else works. thanks for all replies. much appreciated
