I bricked a brand new verizon galaxy tab! It isn't even mine. it's my brothers and he's going to be pissed if i can't fix it :(

here is what i did:

i rooted it using z4root from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

no problems.

then i downloaded sgs kernel flasher from the market and flashed this file http://gunsforgeeks.com/Tab/kernel/KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v4.OC.zImage

which i got from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941781

it auto re-booted when done and is now stuck on samsung logo forever! **** me! i can't reboot into recovery, but i can reboot into download mode.

only problem is i have an old mac ibook running osx 10.4 which is too old for hemidall and too mac for odin. for christs sake i can't even get bootcamp or parallels to work on that old of a mac so i can run windows and thus odin.

what can i do? i'd really like to fix this without having to ask my brother to use his newer mac that should let me run hemidall, cause if i bricked his tab he ain't gonna want me touching his computer.

any suggestions? pleeeeeeease
[Galaxy Tab General] TheATHEiST:
Get rid of your ****ty mac and get a windows based PC/laptop instead obviously, then flash using odin etc. :p

Also use the search function, there is an endless amount of topics on this exact issue so no need to create a new one just because you are scared your bro is gunna kick your arse.

Oh btw, your device isnt "bricked", I wish people would not use that term so loosely.

crisis averted

sorry ya'll. you'll have to excuse a noob. crisis has been averted. i borrowed a windows laptop and successfully restored to stock via hemidall. guess i have more reading to do before i attempt to flash a rom on this thing again. didn't think i was such a noob as i've never had such problems flashing all kinds of roms on my vibrant. different devices. chalk it up to a learning experience.
[Galaxy Tab General] Benjamin Dobell:
Good to hear you solved the problem. Just out of curiosity what happened when you tried to run Heimdall on your mac? Theoretically the universal binaries I redistribute should run on 10.4+ with any processors architecture supported by OS X (i.e. x86, AMD64 and PPC).
[Galaxy Tab General] tkirkable:
Heimdall requires osx 10.5?

Apparently. That's what it says when i try to open the .pkg file. it says this package type requires osx 10.5 I can run it in windows 7 though. I had to three times yesterday cause i kept soft bricking my device if that's the right way to put it. read read read. i must be missing something. I had clockworkmod recovery and ext. 4 for a second but then froze on the samsung logo at reboot again. had to heimdall my way back and lost it all. back to the drawing board :)

Dears ... Good day

would someone please give me the drivers of the camera of the wave2 s8530

it is located on systemfs/drivers

its name should be like this

you can find them using Stune

it is very important because anytime i open the camera it gabe error message(camera failed)

that happened to me when i tried to upgrade the camera firmware

your quick support is highly apprecieated

the firmware is S8530JPKA1

which is arabic firmware with ffs

by the way on wave remarker you can drag to dumped file not drag from dumped file to desktop which means i cannot extract the mentioned files

thank you for support but please would you explain to me how to extract those files

Good Question, at this time I've not tested/used Wave Remaker.

But I'm pretty sure TriX can do this. This time used many times by me. :D

As I have NO S8530... I'm not exact sure if I have downloaded S8530JPKA1 to do this for you...

Please try first self. And if you failed to extract or nobody else help you.

Then come back and I will do this for you.

As I collect also S8530 Firmware... for study...

I know from 1 skilled S8530 user he failed to repair self... so only Samsung Service helped him.

But maybe you have more luck.

Sorry no idea yet.

Maybe last one...

Did you ever tried to update via Kies?

Yes I know sounds maybe weird...

Go to older Firmware via Multiloader... Downgrade...

Then update via Kies.

It seems Kies send few Commands more... maybe Kies force Cam Update.

Maybe

Hi All,

Ive been toying around with the launchers, and i think there real good, only thinng i cant get though, which i thought id ask on here to see if its me being dumb or just dont work.

When using a launcher, can you not use any of the HTC installed widgets? Like sense clock, or weather, i feel when i go to the launcher on my handset half of my widgets disappear, but when in stock home, they are all there...

Anyway i can work around this? I really want to use another launcher other than HTC stock, as i feel they are so much smarter, the only thing holding me back is these widgets issue.

The Launchers i have used are: Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher, and ADW Launcher. Any other launcher that might do the trick?

Thanks in Advanced.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
Sense widgets only works on the sense launcher... try out launcher pro which has most of these covered..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tantin:
Yep, launcher pro plus and the srollable news widget as news widget replacement.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abangjohnyen:
hi guys,

since we are on the topic of launchers. i have a question for the experts here. I am also using DHD. I running LauncherPro. When I first installed it, i set it to default and everything works fine. I press the HOME button it just do what the HOME button suppose to do. I restart or reboot my phone, it just goes into LauncherPro. But after awhile, out of the blue i started having this problem. Everytime I press on the HOME button, my phone will ask me to choose between HTC Sense or LauncherPro. I will tick default and select LauncherPro. The the HOME button will work fine. But after awhile it will ask me to select between the 2 launchers again when i press on the HOME button. Same whenever i restart or reboot the phone.

Tried to clear the default setting in HTC sense but nothing for me to clear. Can be annoying because I really prefer the LauncherPro. Does anyone encounter the same problem as me? Any way to overcome this problem? And also pardon my long winded post.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
Is it everytime you restart the phone? Or does it seemed to have had an update. Launcher Pro Plus is the 1 i actually use atm, and i make sure the remember choice thing is checked and never have the problem...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie1506:
Did any of you notice that when LauncherPro (and possibly other alternate launchers) is active, Settings -> Personalize menu does not work? It just goes back to homescreen. I never noticed it until this morning.

I got a call right after booting my DHD and it rang with one of the default ringtones due to SD card not being mounted yet and my standard ringtone was on it. So I went to check if it was fine once the card was mounted and behold. Then I switched back to Sense and could access the screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abangjohnyen:
Yes. It happens everytime I restart the phone. I not using launcher pro plus.

[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
The Desire HD has got to be the best phone I have ever had, however I have now lost six memory cards to it.

I am running on the 1.32 version, as I've not upgraded the firmware since hearing some of the horror stories. I'm running the stock rom, and I'm always very careful when connecting my phone to the PC or removing the memory card (I.e I always make sure I unmount it first, etc).

I'd lost five memory cards when they came up saying it had been unexpectedly removed. There didn't seem to be a pattern. I returned the phone and got a new one after the third card, since last night I've now lost another three the same way.

The strange thing is that my friend also bought the same phone, two months after me, and has had the same problem (although has only lost two so far).

Does anyone know what else might be causing this? Any software that might be causing it? I've noticed that one or two of them have died shortly after I've taken a picture or video (like last night, for example).

I have tried to restore the memory cards by trying them in a PC, but it won't even let me format them to start over again.

I love this phone to bits, but I can't keep losing memory cards like this. There must be some reason for it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Wow that is crazy! I've had the phone for around 3 and a half months and I'm still rocking the 8GB that came with the phone. If it's software related flashing a newer rom could fix it.

I would suggest a custom rom since I've been pretty much running LeeDroid a few weeks after I got the phone and recently switched to CM7 and I never had this issue.

Flashing is pretty much straight forward, the chances of bricking are ... well I haven't heard of someone bricking a DHD. If you just follow the steps it won't take long and if you don't

read up enough the worst that could happen is a headache :p

Also, what kind of sd cards were you using? Brand/Size/Class?
[Desire HD General] noisy_lightning:
I lost my 8gb card which came with my DHD the other day too. That was my first loss since I got the phone in October last year. The card can't be read on any other device either.

If it is software related then I would like to know so I can try to do something about it.

[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Sounds like flashing a custom ROM might be an idea. I have used a mixture of Samsung and Sandisk cards, all have been 8GB.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
I'd also be interested to know what, if any, software could be causing this.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
With both me and my friend, the cards have been in the phone all the time. The only time I've tried to remove it was to see if I could recover the files on a PC.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Also, like I said, a few times it seems to have occurred after taking a video or picture. In fact the second time I had one die, it seemed to be one particular HD video causing it, and once I had deleted the file by going through the PC, the memory card worked fine again.
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
The same thing happened to me. (mp3 instead of video) Android seems to be pretty picky about corrupt or somehow malformed files I guess.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Sort of leaves me wondering where I go from here.

Even if I replace the memory card, I'm on edge the whole time as to whether it's just going to die on me again!

[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Most premium memory cards these days, come with 5yr minimum guarantee try returning one of your dead cards to the manufacturer and see what they say? Personally I have never had an issue with my card and had a DHD from november but I have run custom ROM's (mainly CM) since root was achieved.

[Desire HD General] noisy_lightning:
Same until the card died in my phone it has never been taken out by me, it arrived with the card in the phone on arrival and till last week its stayed there.

I have no idea what went wrong, I went to sleep after using it the night before. I woke up and the phone was sat at the sim pin prompt (so obviously failed in some form over night) when I checked my SMS later in the day they were all gone so I tried to restore from SMS Restore and it failed to find the file on the SD card. When I looked into it more I realised the card was dead.

Tried it on my laptop and work PC, AND my HD Camcorder and it does not register in any of them, its as if the controller on board the card has died rather than it corrupting the data on it.

Cant say I am impressed at the moment, I have the notification bug for SMS, it keeps removing the SMS database, failed to lock onto WiFi in some occasions unless I disable then enable wifi, and now its destroyed a microSD card. Think I shall be off back to an iphone next.

Mine has now chewed through two memory cards :( however I have come to expect random things from my desire
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
I've had my memory cards from various places. I had the one that came with the original handset, and then when I had my phone replaced HTC gave me another one with it.

Since then I've also purchased the rest from stores, and even two of them were the more expensive higher quality ones. All gone.

I have noticed this morning that I am able to access the card through my PC. The first three times I put it in, I got a message saying that it couldn't access it, and would need to format it. The fourth time I put it in, it's opened everything as normal. When I put it back in my phone, it comes up preparing SD card, and then a few seconds later says it's unexpectedly removed again.

Those that haven't had card issues, are you running a custom rom? If so, what do you think the best choice would be, and would it affect the normal day to day operation with things like use of the Android Market, etc?
[Desire HD General] ShaunD103:
My phone is stock and no customization.

Not sure what the correct route would be as the cards have been destroyed by our devices so would this be covered under card warranty?

Hi, I have experienced the same problem, and almost lost my 16GB card, I believe it is software related issue, i'd check to see what you have running, my problem stemed from an update of a torrent program i used to run on my phone. Re-flashed my phone and no problems, Card worked. Prior to losing the card completely I was getting mounting issues where the card would unmount itself constantly. Wasn't till it started happening again on a different card till I investigated it.

[Desire HD General] Ratix0:
I don't think its rom related. My friends and I who all bought DHD have the same problem, since running stock roms and me flashing custom roms, the problem persists. I'm still using the stock 8GB card and its giving me a lot of problems. It tends to "SD card has removed unexpectedly" (expectedly) at least 3-4 times every day. It can happen out of nowhere, when the phone is on sleep, it also tend to happen more often on boot up, or when I disconnect from disk drive mode (Safely removed etc). Also happens sometimes when I plug into my laptop / AC to charge. It happens almost like randomly. It screwed many things up.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
This sounds exactly like the problem I'm having. It comes up preparing SD card, and then a few seconds later says it's been unexpectedly removed.

I guess if this is the case, there seems little point in changing to a custom rom, especially if people on custom roms have had the same problem.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
An update......

Well, it appears the reason that the PC wouldn't access it was because I was on my work one, and apparently need administrator rights to run scan disk?!

Anyway, I tried it on my home PC and it opened fine, I could browse and access all of the files on the card. I ran scan disk and it said that folder GoSMS was unreadable. I clicked repair, and whilst it deleted the folder, when I put the card back in my phone, it worked fine!

Anyone else using GoSMS when their card failed?
[Desire HD General] zepp3lin:
As for me it happens with custom Rom & stock. It happens even with gingerbread. But I need to reboot it and the card works again. The card I'm using is stock Samsung 8gb. But I'm still lucky it still work and I can even convert the stock card to a gold card. I think it's either the SD card or some contact issue on the slot pin that giving the problem and not due to the software side.
[Desire HD General] Ratix0:
I just got a Kingston 16GB, after the Samsung 8GB stock refused to be read in my phone anymore. It will start to prepare the card, reads for a split second (as evident from my desktop visualiser widget icons gets loaded when I say, restarts the phone) and gets removed (un)expectedly directly after that. Removing the card, cleaning contacts, putting it back, rebooting the phone, and all doesn't solve the problem. It refuse to be read on the phone nomatter what I do.

Lets hope the 16GB memcard does not suffer from the same fate.
