[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnthonyAldrete:
I got a hold of my friends galaxy tab by sprint and he had asked if i can fix it. The problem that he is having is that when you turn the tab on it gets stuck in the "Samsung" screen where it flashes but never fully boots up. Now typically if this occurred on my galaxy s phone i would just simply odin back to stock problem solved. However im not too sure the same applies for a galaxy tab. Can someone please help me out with this and let me know what steps need to be taken.

He did mentioned that before this problem occurred all he did was leave it charging over night and then unplugged it and tried to power it on and thats where he encountered this odd problem.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkwasnik:
did he modify it at all?

maybe the kernel got hosed some weird way on the way it got charged, maybe overcharged and crapped out... you could try to reload a kernel...

when this happend with me, I had rooted it and applied cmw 3.0.0 without a kernel to support the ext partition. Try powering it off and holding down the vol button while powering it on. Does it go into download mode. If so get himdell from github (it acts similar to odin) once the drivers are loaded, install the libusb drivers for himdell in the galaxy tab drivers. there should be instructions in the text doc on what to do.

you can use himdell_frontend to flash a new kerenl.

when using himdell, is there a file(s) that will restore back to stock ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emieczko:
As others have pointed out, this thread belongs in Q&A or Gen, however, having said that:

There's a discussion on flashing back to stock on a Sprint Tab here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969892&highlight=sprint+stock+firmware

That thread points to another that yields the file, but the discussion in the one I linked looked to be worth reading.

I can't comment personally, as I am running a VZW Tab.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
I haven't seen anything online about this problem... but I installed Kernel Manager today from the Market and tried downloading the Tiamat kernel for CM7. It downloaded just fine, and then it upacked it and started to flash it. The flashing process took forever, so after about 5 minutes I started looking at my phone and noticed a low memory notification. The one that says you are running out of phone storage. I then pulled up Disk Usage to see where it was all going and Kernel Manager was growing and taking up all my phone's memory. I think the app itself was 74 kb?? Something like that? And then while it was "flashing" the data for Kernel Manager was up to 115MB. Then everything on my phone started FCing and I had to reboot.

Anybody seen this problem with the newest update? I'm running 1.1.2.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Delete that bs and install kernels the big boy way; grab the zip then flash in recovery and reboot unless you like apps holding your hand and eating up free space :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
haha! I tried that app just to see what it was all about but when it flashed the kernel IDK if it even did the proper wipes ,there was no way to know and I was getting fc so yeah I say just do it the old fashion way in recovery...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I had the exact same thing happen to me a month ago or so. Not with the kernel manager, but it was from the teamwin hdmi app trying to install the modified kernel, and it hung up in the process. Then I had a notification of low memory. Then I rebooted and it hung at the splash, lol. Had to nandroud restore. I never let an app flash anything after that. And that was the only time I tried.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
Now that seems a little extreme. Taking up space? The app is 350 KB. I'm sure you would never miss it. :cool:

Holding my hand? Oh you mean like Rom Manager? Do you still browse online and download one at a time? :rolleyes:

I don't have a problem flashing the kernel myself. I like the interface to download and browse kernels. But there is obviously something up with the flashing process. I wish you could choose to just download the kernel and flash it myself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Yes rom manager also holds peoples hands. I just download via my xda app its easy as pie. Plus flashing kernels in recovery is proven to be better in the sense that KM can fail the flash process sometimes and cause issues. I have my personal reasons why I will NEVER use rom manager on my phone but that's not important :-). As I've seen around km is definitely having issues with its flashing process with some kernels and it seems that shinzul has been addressing them very fast. If you could choose and download the kernel "yourself" wouldnt that be the same thing as getting it and going to recovery lol? Thus taking us back to square one of km manager being useless?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
No, square one was the question being asked by the OP. I don't use ROM Manager either, not for any specific reason, but I suppose if I was still flashing ROMs like a mad man I would consider it. What's so bad about KM housing multiple kernels in one location so you can get a quick and easy glance at your options instead of hunting them down? Or for that matter, ROM Manager.

It's also not 'holding your hand' when you've been down the road multiple times. I tend to peek my way through kernel / ROM threads just for the sake of finding out any possible issues ... but some people just want to get in, flash, get out and be done with it. I, honestly, don't see the problem with it.

As for the OP, not sure what to say as I've had no problems flashing kernels from KM. :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
Exactly. The only reason I like a ROM/Kernel manager is to have them all in the same place and easy to download. It makes it easier to look at the list of features each one offers, and see reviews/complaints. I dont need anyone to flash anything for me. I can do that on my own. I just want an easy way to download them. The only problem is you can't ONLY download with KM, you have to download and flash.

Not useless at all. I understand if you would rather spend time flipping through forum pages trying to find the download link. That's your choice. Having it in an organized list with specs is my choice. I definitely would not call it useless -- it'll actually save you time.

[General Questions and Answers] tmadijimmy:
I have rooted my phone with Suoer1click and have the SU icon. Then I installed the Barnicle Wi/Fi thether program. I ran the Barnicle program and it stops saying it does not have SU permission. How do i go about granting it permission? I thought the SU would do this automatically.
[General Questions and Answers] dmayrhofer:
Normally SU should ask you automatically if you want to give the app the permission...have you already tried it after restarting your phone?
[General Questions and Answers] imheroldman:
I get this every once in a while. I have seen it being a simple communication thing, where a reboot clears it. But I have also had app's be bad from the market and not communicate. I fixed it by getting the app on applanet, it was probably in an update that broke it. Also go into SU and check all the settings to make sure it allows stuff and give notification.

[G1 General] sza:
You can execute command like "adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/" to backup your contact data (or some other configs) to the computer first, and then flash the same rom that you installed without wiping to see if it can reboot correctly, if it can reboot, go to see if the datas exists, if yes , it is ok, if not, I think you should wipe it and flash the rom again and then replace the "/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/" with the files you backuped before, and change the permission properly using the Root Explorer or 'adb push & adb shell', and your contacts will be back.

I hope it can help you, and you must remember to backup your configs regularly.:D

Okay. Set cpu clocked at 833 mhz. Stock kernal, rom, ect. Not when i just let my phone sit at the home screen, it will settle to 245 mhz, 1% cpu usage. Then it will go to 8-9%, and back up to 833 mhz. Im perplexed. Im using temp+cpu pro to monitor this btw.

I noticed you had another thread on profiles.....are you not using profiles still? And if so I'm not really sure what would be causing this besides either a bug in your copy of setcpu or your kernel.....I would try maybe flashing a different kernel....give one with bfs a try....your phone may work better with the different scheduler to help a lot when the CPU will run at certain speeds.

DroidX does not permanently flash custom recovery. It has to be bootstrapped, but, regardless, if you're wanting to return to stock, an SBF would work perfectly :)

You have to have rsdlite and the proper moto drivers for your phone to flash the sbf.

Apparently along with the new security feature which fixes the venerability discovered few days ago, Skype also updated their app to allow 3G calls inside US. Previously, calls on Skype while on 3G data network were only available outside US.

And in the process make the cell phones and rate plans cost more for everyone else cause yet another a-hole wants there warranty honored when they knowingly VOIDED the warranty. Getting so tired of this. Between people bypassing paying for tethering and OVERLY taking advantage, and bull**** like returning phones that you KNOWINGLY VOIDED THE WARRANTY WHEN YOU ROOTED AND INSTALLED THAT CUSTOM ROM on it, it is ZERO wonder why they all want to sign the god dam bootloader anymore. These may be evil corporations were dealing with, but there is still a difference between right and wrong. These few on xda will ultimately be our downfall. This thread is all kinda fail.

[G2 and Desire Z General] tackleberry:
battery pull yes, vol down and pwr nothing. charged it overnight, and led didnt even power up, tried 2 different batteries, etc. nothing.

i dont know why it bricked, i did nothing different than what was done before to it. any time i ever did have problems was with the bootanimation screen would stay on and device would never boot, but i was still able to fix that with a full wipe and fresh reinstall. this was maybe a hardware failure of some sort? ive done all the same stuff to my mt4g (went from iced glacier to CM7, been on CM7 since nightly 6 or 8 with that one), and for a longer amount of time now and no issues at all. funny thing is i dont even flash nightly, or weekly...usually about 10-14 days ill flash an updated newer rom. now i know some of you people here are major fanatics about flashing nightly, changing radios constantly, kernels, amongst other things...i do half of that stuff and at probably a tenth of the rate that some of you hardcore folks do. so before you wanna pass judgement, i have been doing this same stuff since november on 3 different phones and never had a problem since yesterday at random. so i dont know why some of you get pissed when people have defective equipment. id guess if my hinge broke you would be telling me it was because of flashing roms too??? my rom was already flashed, working, and then when email was syncing it locked up, did a battery pull and nothing worked since. get a grip folks, crap happens. its not like i improperly flashed a non sense rom direct over a sense rom then back again with no wiping, clearing cache, data, etc etc etc then flash 3 incorrect kernels and bad themes and so on. if my device at least would power up, i wouldnt have decided to have it exchanged under warranty because i probably would have been able to fix it somehow since there are write ups about semi bricked devices. even plugging it into the computer does nothing now.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ransome7:
Forget the bleeding lcd edges , its the horrible contrast on this phone that will probably cause me to return it.

After coming from the inky black Amoled screen on the Nexus s , this is the most disappointing aspect of otherwise top of the line phone. You can't get a true black on this phone , the best it does is dark glowing gray. In fact anything with a black background looks gray , not total absence of light Black.

I realize that this phone has an LCD screen not an amoled screen , but I never thought the difference would be this pronounced. Example : when I power up my Nexus S the screen is pitch black and when the white Google logo appears , it will appear to floating in space in a dark room. The G2x display will put off it own light, making it very visible in a dark room.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Deep blacks are awesome but I find this screen better in other areas over AMOLED/SAMOLED IMHO. You have to pick what matters to you. I don't spend a ton of time looking at blacks so doesn't bother me :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
There's nowhere you can compare contrast of AMOLED because it's unlimited.

However, I think the black on G2x is a bit "darker" than my MT4 (good screen).

Agree... My moves encoded to WVGA 800x480 @2500k bit rate look great or just as good as my SAMOLED.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsalate:
The blacks on AMOLED will always be darker than the blacks on LCD that uses backlighting. The blacks on amoled doesn't have light behind it so its gonna be darker, because there isn't a light source lighting up behind it. This comparison doesn't make sense. If you compare the GX2 any other LCD display on a phone it will out shine it hands down.
