[Galaxy Tab General] wwz7777:
The saga continues...

I found the answer to the "Mount..." part, it's Edify Update Scripting. But, I don't get a screen message that says "Verifying current system...". For those of you that successfully updated, do you remember seeing ANY screen messages during the process or was it just the progress bar? There should have been several screen messages.

Also, where does the Tab store event log files? One nice chap here suggested the /cache folder, but I don't have anything in that directory. Is it some obscure directory or am I missing something? I did pull build.prop and default.prop from my Tab and compared the values for ro.build.fingerprint and ro.product.device with the script and they were a match. I guess I'll start going through the script line by line to see if I find a file that doesn't match. :rolleyes:

Update 2 May

I've gone thru the script to verify the existence of all the files the update is looking for and they're all there. I still don't get any of the screen messages and it still errors at about the 1/3 point. Not sure what's wrong. I'm not rooted and I haven't messed with any of the files (that I know of!) Anyone know how Notepad++ works?

Update 3 May

I just tried to do the factory reset as well as wipe data and reset and my Tab says "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3" and "can't mount :HIDDENSDCARD" Any ideas?

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab General] xspazzx:
I am getting so fed up trying to do anything with my tab. It's as if no one has the same issues I do, and it's infuriating, lol. I'm trying to update and it is getting stuck on my wpa_supplicant file, but I have never messed with it. Can someone just post the stock file by itself so I can replace it with root explorer and be done with this whole mess?
[Galaxy Tab General] ilovemyson:
hello everyone.

android system update warning 34,6 mb. restart but 3-4 day later same update warning again. this post for fix it?

thanks.

And i didnt connect Kies never :(
[Galaxy Tab General] fishstick600:
just posting a reply to get my 10 post so i can reply in the dev section
[Galaxy Tab General] hammer4203:
Why would you use kies when it is not designed for the verizon tab? Seems to me loosing gps and wifi to gain root is just not worth it. Flashing kernals and roms that are not ment for a cdma or gsm device is just plain dumb. Yet I did almost do it myself, but decided not to because I didn't want to brick it.
[Galaxy Tab General] gotcha13:
ok so i followed all instructions and even ran the procedure twice but it does not boot. all seems well, the verizon boot animation comes on then it loops the verizon wireless logo. tried the update.zip from the bootloader and i got the triangle icon. anybody have any idea what went wrong?
[Galaxy Tab General] Bobboman:
I keep getting failed to access device. error: -12

I'd like to flash a rom base on ASOP but i don't want to do anything without a stock backup and no one wants to provide a ODIN Flash File
[Galaxy Tab General] wwz7777:
BML?

Can someone tell me is BML the name of the system partition? If so, where would I find it in the Tab? Could a US Cellular have a different code/name? I still can't get the update to work and it won't do a factory reset. It errors when it looks for a file - mmcblk0p3 - with an"invalid argument " error. Still trying...
[Galaxy Tab General] stevieraveon:
Glad to see you're still trying, as I said I'm in same position (US Cellular that I flashed to VRZN since I only want wifi). I really wouldn't even know where to start to try to figure out why the update is failing.

I don't know why I care so much about the update...everything works just fine but yet I'm the type who needs to know I'm running the latest.
[Galaxy Tab General] gotcha13:
wow lots of issues and not much support.
[Galaxy Tab General] ilovemyson:
verizon update 2.3?
[Galaxy Tab General] gobiasinc:
I can't get my Tab into download mode. It ran out of battery while flashing in Odin and now it won't respond to anything. Is it gone?
[Galaxy Tab General] reedjast:
Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much. I wish I hadn't been so hard-headed. All I had to do was unroot! This helped me get rid of a major headache
[Galaxy Tab General] roth140:
Im failing when clicking the update.zip from recovery. I get the droid and Triangle !. does anyone have an update.zip i can use?
[Galaxy Tab General] Littleazn248:
Can't find the Cache/Data Reset.

They only have clear Cache partition and Data reset and Factory Reset.
[Galaxy Tab General] scumfromohio:
Same problem i didnt run the update zip until after i let it bootloop for a good 10 or 15 minutes, then rebooted into recovery, but i followed the directions. btw i was using this to get out of a soft brick not to get the update...Any ideas??
[Galaxy Tab General] jdog_12345:
Are you using Odin or Heimdall? I had the same problems and I ended up reflashing through Heimdall and then I was able to get past it. If I remember right I cleared the cache through the recovery menu and then did a reset and it worked.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Ok, so I tried out honeycomb but wanted to go back to stock till it is more usable. I followed these instructions.

http://gizmoninja.com/2011/04/21/how-to-root-latest-samsung-galaxytab-verizon-update-ec02/

But, the link this person posted for the wpa_supplicant file is not working. It says I need this for the update.zip to work. Maybe some of you here need that as well from what I was reading.

Does anyone know where to get this file? I am stuck on DJ11 till I find it because my update is failing as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] sixty1ragtop:
Does anyone have the files still? d/l links are broke.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
I regustered on that website and posted a comment. Hopefully the writer will see it and helo us out. Maybe if more of us do the same (post a comment I mean) it will be seen quicker. Just a thought. If they do post it I will put it on here.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Hey guys! They saw my request! Go to the gizmoninja link I posted. The download link works now!

Edit: and yes the update works now!
[Galaxy Tab General] alforque:
My Galaxy Tab is hosed. The default ROM is some proprietary crap I can't flash because SuperUser suffers force close. Does anyone know how to fix permissions without root access? I'm in a catch-22 situation here.

Is there a work-around to get the VZW stock ROM back onto this device using adb shell without root access?

I tried using the update.zip at gizmoninja, but received a file authentication error.

EDIT TO ADD 1: I'm making progress and now have root access without superuser force closing! I uninstalled updates to superuser. Then, I installed the updates to superuser. I'm trying to follow the rest of the steps at gizmoninja, but receive the following error when attempting to wpa_supplicant. Any ideas?

EDIT TO ADD 2: There was an existing wpa_supplicant file. I moved it to wpa_supplicant_old, then successfully created a new wpa_supplicant file using the gizmoninja instructions.

Current problem: when applying the update.zip from sdcard, the progress bar gets to halfway then halts. It shows me the triangle with exclamation point and android robot. BLARGH!?!

EDIT TO ADD 3: Every restart of the device reverts the device to stock apps and settings; prompting to setup device and everything. Any clue what the developers did to this device? More importantly: any ideas how to flash the stock VZW ROM or any stable ROM onto this device?
[Galaxy Tab General] jefftab11:
I am getting a "tar header file size error" on the Verizon GTab Stock.zip file when Heimdall tries to unzip it. Anybody know what I may doing wrong? I have tried a couple of different zip file sources but keep getting the same error. Obviously it's user error.

Thanks in advance, Jeff
[Galaxy Tab General] lexriley:
dont use heimdall v1.30 download use v1.1 heimdall and you are all set http://www.glassechidna.com.au/product/heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.1.0-win32.zip
[Galaxy Tab General] jefftab11:
Thanks for the info. I found out my problem but don't know how to fix it. I cannot not get my PC to recognize my tab when I plug in the USB cable. I have tried 2 different computers running Windows 7. I also have had Kies running version 2. Maybe I have a bad setting on the tab??? I feel stupid.
[Galaxy Tab General] lexriley:
Go to settings then applications then development and check USB debugging make sure you are not trying to check it while plugged in to a PC and your problems are solved

If your having problem with heimdall click the drivers folders and run the app within it choose list all devices then find your galaxy tab and hit install

If your still having problems with mounting or viewing your sdcard make sure USB debugging is checked and go to device manager from within windows and uninstall the driver for your tab and once the PC recognizes your tab it will install a new driver
[Galaxy Tab General] jefftab11:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a try. So uncheck USB debugging and power off then put into download mode by holding volume down and power. Then plug USb cable into Pc and Pc should recognize? Thanks for the patience, obviously not easy for me. Feel kinda of stupid.
[Galaxy Tab General] HTCIncognito:
Well Well Well

Freaking awesome. After some learnin and readin I got it fixed and ready to go. Thank you so much!:D
[Galaxy Tab General] reelon:
Great, thanks for your help!!! Saved my galaxy tab. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] Jacklad:
Screwed the pooch!

So I was able to flash the files you provided, install both OTA updates and got to 2.3.5 without issues - but, unfortunately this wasn't good enough for me - I then flashed dsb9938's Pre-rooted stock/voodoo 2.3.5 kernal - again, all went great and tablet was singing - then I ran SuperOneClick - rooted without a problem - yea! And THEN, I decided that I needed to know if I had a working clockwork recovery installed - I added Quickboot from the market, tried to boot into recovery, and then brick city - hung at Samsung logo - so this morning I've tried to start from scratch with your files - they flash as usual, I boot up, connect to wifi and download the first OTA update - on reboot, it start to update, then the progress bar stops about a third of the way through, flashes the triangle, and then boots back to unchanged stock - I've tried reflashing 3 times, but always the same result - what can I do/change/re-do in order to get the update to work?

Thanks Obi-wan - you're my only hope -
[Galaxy Tab General] mildlydisturbed:
got an odd one - I'm more than a bit familiar with rooting these things - have been working on a hospital project that involves rooting and flashing somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 of them.

Needed to go back to stock, downloaded the Verizon GTAB stock, flashed via hem 1.1. Flash appeared to go as normal, except when it came time to reboot like they normally do post-hem, two of them just shut off.

Can't get them to wake, show power, etc... just two little black bricks.. no phone-of-death screen, no download mode, no battery screen.... nada... two totally dead bricks.

Any ideas on what might have happened? How to fix... etc... I'm not super worried, I have stacks of these things, but would like to know how to get these powered back on
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Here is my issue. I was running Galaxy Cubed 2 and I want to return it to stock to sell. I followed many different instructions including this one and every time I go back to DJ11, it says my baseband is still EI04, and build is DJ11. The update to EC02 never works. I have tried replacing the wpa_supplicant file and manually doing the update.zip from sd card. Anyone have any ideas???? Please help
[Galaxy Tab General] etschuetz:
I have the same problem with the brand new update. I am frustrated with the damn update showing up ever couple of days. If anything, I would just like to make it stop! I want Gingerbread, but damn it!
[Galaxy Tab General] Jacklad:
Got 2.3.5 update to work - finally!

for anyone having problems restoring to stock to get 2.3.5 update, this is what worked for me - I had been able to use the method in this post once, but after never worked again - I finally came across the following post over at droidforums.net:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-how-flash-stock-rooted-ec02-froyo-2-2-a.html

After applying the rom posted there through Heimdall, I was able to get to EC02 stock, then downloaded the 2.3.5 update and all went well - after applying update i now have:

Firmware; 2.3.5

Baseband: S:l800.0.3V.El04

Kernel: 2.6.35.7

Build Number: SCH-l800.El04

Note: it took few attempts to download the file - download was interrupted 3 or 4 times, but eventually worked -

Hope this helps -
[Galaxy Tab General] receptr:
Worked like a charm, thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Tab General] larry0071:
Doing this does not appear to remove root, when you go to "about device" and look at kernal on mine it still says "Kernal 2.6.32.9 root@sep-40 #3", so it appears to still be rooted?

Aside from that, it blew me back to 2.2 on DJ11.
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
The stock DJ11 kernel has the word "root" in the name, but it is not rooted. That's just the way it came.
[Galaxy Tab General] yulost:
I am in need of help! I will absolutely be more than happy to donate to anybody that has my solution

I have a us cellular tab, soft bricked sch i800, the files needed are the same files as verizon, from what ive researched

Ive been trying for weeks to resolve, when heimdall completes flash succesful using verizon files, I get the samsung screen and it scrambles away.

I cannot boot into recovery mode no matter what I try

solution?
[Galaxy Tab General] Davensocal:
Another success Thank you!

Completed with some minor modifications..

- Had to use Heimdall 1.1.1

- Missed the first reboot after flashing, need to pay better attention :-)

- First reboot looked like failure. Shutdown and restarted into recovery mode and cleared cache.

- Unable to download update.zip from links. Tried to execute existing update.zip from SD, failed at 30%

- Rebooted normally. Looked OK, checked for update and said none available.

- System immediately popped up and asked if I wanted the OTA update :-)

- OTA completed normally, not on 2.2?

- Prompted for another update.. Completed normally at 2.3.5.

Woohoo!

Thanks for all the great work here, supporting all of us who just don't have the skills ...

I am trying to return a GTAB that is defective. I flashed Galaxy cubed and now I need to go back to stock. I followed the steps and I still am unable to update to 2.3.5. My device downloads an update (im assuming for 2.3.5) but it keeps failing and I'm left with 2.2 build DJ11.

[Galaxy 3 General] kaman237:
I'd like to ask you some questions :p

1)Which file system is the fastest?

2)How are the separate partitions tagged(I mean /data, /system etc.)?
[Galaxy 3 General] psycut:
My best (fastest) guess would be ext2. I'm using it and it looks the fastest for our device. You may try using ext4, but then it takes some space and time for keeping up the file system journal.

As for partitions:

/dev/block/stl6 /system

/dev/block/stl7 /data

/dev/block/stl8 /cache

/dev/block/stl4 /efs
[General Questions and Answers] gr3ger:
Heya!

I couldn't really find any threads describing how to solve my particular problem, so here it goes.

I need to listen on port 80 and 53, for this I figured that I needed both the INTERNET permission and SuperUser (since creation of the sockets throws a permission denied exception).

But the thing is, I have added the app to have root privileges, and the permission is added to the manifest, but I still get the permission denied error.

Any ideas on how I should solve this problem? Any help would be appreciated :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Hello,

I noticed that several apps I install require that I enable my location/position.

For several of them my location has nothing to do with the purpose of the app.

For instance: Bubble Birds.

I was wondering why??! And also, are the developers using the users' location info for some reasons?

Thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
This is something that irks me too, and is often a deciding point on whether I buy/install said app.

I can see it as being used for statistical purposes, but still brings out the conspiracy theorist in me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alexrodri0:
I think it might be for ads. Maybe it is for stats though
[Windows Phone 7 General] nardii:
The "ID_CAP_LOCATION" capability is included by default when creating a new project. If the location requirement is derived from this, it could mean that many developers just haven't removed it before submission, making it look like the application needs location info. This would probably be pointed out during submission, though. Maybe it's for the ads?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thank you for all the answers.

I suppose it's not for the ads. I live in France and, luckily, all the ads are totally irrevelant and in English.
[Windows Phone 7 General] spokanedj:
On my App, I have a trial mode that uses ads. If you pass the location information to the adControl, it enhances the selection process for the ads and will provide better focused ads, which also enhances money the developers receive.

AFAIK, WP7 doesn't support the ability to say "no" to the location and still use the app. If you decline the location, the application will not run. It would be nice to deny access to Location to the app, and still let the application run.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
Well they have a very strict policy with the location service, it should be comppetely turned off from within the app if the user desires, i had an app with a button to activate and find the current location and it failed certification since the user could not bypass this button! If the user does not want to supply his location dont press te button and the location service will remain off, but this was not strict enough there should have been an extra switch to deactivate this button....

Weird policy really really weird

Hi....

Am looking for a calendar app that supports Google Calendar and Facebook Calendar... Also allowing multiple color codes to the tasks!

Please help

Thanks!

I've been using Jorte for a little while:

the app itself is pretty extensive. lots of options/customisations to change style and colours. syncs fine with google and facebook calendars, so can see all events and friends' upcoming birthdays at a glance.

loads of different sized widgets too.

hope it might be what you're looking for!
