I read someone in this forum writing Italian and got reprimanded by the admin...so caution to you....

No E: is different from the internal storage if what you mean is the internal SD. Windows cannot see E: as it is formatted in file system not visible to windows. If you want to format/erase the internal SD you can do it thru settings.

If you are able to use kies to see your fw as valid please outline the steps you followed as I am also interested.....

Thanks!

No dice... Still says the device's firmware cannot be updated... And still has KOR on Kies...

Only got the internal device memory wiped by doing full reset (*2767*3855#)...

*** Will try to go with noxxious' route and use P1000XXJM6 as the first F/W and will flash the DX Gingerbread F/W after...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
sorry to hear that....noxxious procedure was not successful on my tab....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Nope, still shows KOR... Tried to roll back to dxkm3...

To top it off, my TAB keeps restarting after flashing to DXKM3 using odin... Yeah...

Finally got it to work... Using GB F/W, flashed back to DXJM2 then back to GB... My Tab's not restarting anymore... Sigh...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
Have you tried changing your csc via *#272#imei# You could select xtc for philippines.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Unfortunately, that is where is hangs... Noticed that CSC and the other, I think phone is blank, so when I do the code it reboots constantly... Don't sweat it, got it working by flashing the DXJM2 then upgrading to GB... It automatically sets CSC to XTC... Kept my sim card (SUN) in though while flashing so that's the reason why it does the CSC automatically, I think...

Only thing is, still stuck with the E partition error... Hope somebody can come up with a fix...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
Yup i thi.k thats how it works too. Didnt remove my sim and automatically csc is set to xtc.

i guess i just got lucky that my tab got fixed.

You might try including movinand.mst with your jpc and flashing it again and hope it resolves internal mmc error,
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
I had a problem with the DX gingerbread rom not being able to change csc to xtc. Solution is noxxious's complete jk2 rom then update via kies to gingerbread.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Bro, favor... Maybe you could upload the GB firmware with the movinand.mst, don't have the tools to do it... Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
ok will do.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Also noticed just now, that when using the samsung keyboard and you've used new symbols, it shows on the symbols part when you long press (the one beside settings on the samsung keyboard, but the lower part does not work... Even when you selected a new symbol, let's say a smiley, it will show the symbol on it but when you press, the one above will show, like lets say ","...

Hope fixing the E partition error corrects this...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Okay. It's confirmed. A fix for all your CSC and partition problems.

1. Go to noxxious' post # 53 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14160362&postcount=53

2. Follow instructions to the letter by flashing P1000DXJK2 - Full (Use Odin process not Heim)

3. Connect to Kies. Kies will notify you that there is an update, use that to upgrade to Gingerbread officially.

4. After the upgrade, it will have no partition problem and it will display properly XTC as your CSC on Kies. :D It's like a brand new non modified tab!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Question-when you flashed the JK2 what will be the CSC code? Will it automatically be XTC?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keagan84:
i have a question, as i'm having problems with the missing PDA and CSC, i would like to roll back to an earlier firmware, i'm currently on the official P1000DXJPC. Would i have to root and unlock the bootstrapper by chainfire's method again prior to the rollback?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
When I flashed the JK2 it was auto XTC. No need to change anything. Just stick intp Kies and it detects it as XTC properly.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
So you wanna fix the csc problem right? You have to follow the procedure in my previous post. It installs and updates via Kies for the official version of Gingerbread. I didn't bother rooting and unlocking as I don't need to bec the official firmware is working just great!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Question: Does it also eliminate the E: partition error when you try to go to recovery mode? Can you try it out and post if you get the error or not? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
YEP! No error on my end.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andiemerchcomia:
did aeverything youu said. jk2 then pop up in kies then walah, automatic firmware upgrade. official kies update rom i think is better.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince_junior:
Im still dreaming that one day all official samsung updates will be done OTA, just like what htc does on its phones, and now apple starting with ios5. Its becoming tiring to backup all apps, re-place widgets and redesign the homescreens once again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
:D:D:D:D At last I have updated to GB using Kies! and no errors whatsoever!

I went from GLB,SMA and back to XTC no errors!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Haha! I'm glad it worked for you guys. Told ya, updating through Kies is the only way to get an error free installation for certain. :-)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keagan84:
thanks! but mine is stuck at froyo still...i flashed P1000DXJK2 and it only upgraded to P1000DXJM4
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Huh? Why? Did you follow the steps above? I did it twice and it downloaded Gingerbread.

You must remember to download the latest version of Kies from Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Do I still need to unsign the booloader??? I tried it but it said (failed 1/succeeded 0) and got pc-|-phone prompt on recovery... Good thing odin still detecs it so I was able to flash back... Reply would be appreciated...

Update WARNING: If the previous F/W you flashed has more or equal to 7MB of Zimage, then unsign bootloaders first!!! Open the tar first on winrar and if it does, then unsign!!! Zimage of DXJK2 is only 4MB, so it is unsigned!!! Those who came from Gingerbread and DXKM3 as well as DXJM2 need to unsign bootloaders!!!

Also, to those whose CSC still shows KOR, reset the CSC first to xtc before connecting to kies!!! Even if it automatically shows xtc!!!

Hope this helps!!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Also set CSC to XTC, you might be on a different region that's why it does not update to GB...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keagan84:
yeah bro, i did and thanks a lot at least it fixed the partition error and stuff...but as i'm in malaysia...i think my region code is different at it was not XTC =)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
I am in Oman, no issue with present region where I was. When I was on JK2 I put it on XTC and kies updated to DXJPC ,also did it twice.....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Man... I'm able to upgrade to Gingerbread, but got the same E: partition error that noxxious had... And still the symbol key (the [ .,? ] button) does not work on the bottom part... Probably because of the partition error... Hays...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
I always use the bootloader patch file to check whenever I am on froyo and the JK2 needed to be patched ......did it twice already....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
So you don't have the partition error anymore, after you rooted JK2? Man, this will be my third flash... Could you tell me asap if you don't have any partition problems at all? Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Kabayan,

When I flashed to the DXJK2 provided here by noxxious(NOT samfirmware) I immediately changed the CSC to XTC using *#272*IME# routine. It rebooted and there was no errors on the text at bootup. Very encouraging for me because it always show KOR previously on the KM3 fw.I also rooted using Super One Click and unsigned bootloaders using patch.

Then I connected to Kies and there was a message to upgrade kies to latest version and upgrade the firmware. So proceeded to upgrade kies. After that opened kies again and voila there was an upgrade message for the Tab to upgrade to DXJPC. clicked upgrade and after about 30 minutes I am on GB.

Again I proceeded to test and changed CSC from GLB,to SMA and back again to XTC. Everytime it reboots I watched out for any errors but did not encounter one.

Edit:---Question: Even if you get the E: partition errors does Kies see your firmware as "latest" or "upgrade available"? If so you can ignore the errors I think.....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
So, the only thing I missed is rooting??? Man, my tab is rebooting again... This will like be the fourth or fifth try I did this... Will try the fix I found then will follow your step of rooting it before updating to GB... Gosh, I hope this works this time.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Oh oh-You mean you did not UNSIGN your bootloaders? Try flashing again but this time unsign your bootloaders using the patch...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Opo... Will try it out right now... after it works, will still need to flash DXJK2 then upgrade to GB... Hays...

By the way, after rooting using super one click I'll need to restart phone right?

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Wait,wait muna....DO NOT UNSIGN GINGERBREAD! only for froyo!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Actually, I get the partition error when I update to GB... You'll notice the samsung keyboard will not work as expected if you have those partition errors... And who knows what else...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Opo...

Yes kabayan... I'll only downgrade to froyo, then unsign, then flash to DXJK2 then unsign then update to GB... Long process...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
If you use kies to update no need to unsign bootloaders. sa odin lang yun,,,,
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
When I update via kies, I still get the partition error... Bad Trip... Try ko one last time...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
From present GB(not overcome) downgrade to JK2, set to XTC if not automatically set(ignore errors if any), then connect to kies,see if you have upgrade notice if so upgrade......
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keagan84:
i got

E: MBR Checksum Error

InternalMMc checksum verify failed

(What does this mean?)

error though when booting up..something about mismastch, surprisingly it upgraded to gingerbread this time after i downgraded to JK2...but prior to JK2, i forgot to change my zone back to XTE as i tried changing to XTC but kies saw it as XTE still, after which i reflashed JK2 once again.. i had problems upgrading from my laptop so i borrowed my housemates laptop and installed kies and upgraded there, everything's fine now...but it showed that MRB checksum error on the first boot or during the power + up vol. menu..no errors on partitioning..hahah..all the CSC,PDA,PHONE info is there.. so i will just keep using it and kies recognizes it as the latest firmware..somehow i think i flashed singapore's firmware into my phone as there's the starhub wallpaper by default
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
I did get the prompt to upgrade to Gingerbread... And I upgraded to GB 3 times, only to get the error that keagan84 posted... With that error, the symbol [ .,? ] on samsung keypad is not working... I could live with the partition error, but not with the symbol button not working as I use it a lot...

So, I'll have to disagree with prinzhernan's findings as the steps are not working for me as I also get the partition error...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Do you have the symbols key problem that Lhon0901 have? I certainly did not encounter that even when I had the partition problem before....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
sorry for posting this late. this is what i used to remove the MBR Error whenever i enter stock recovery in DXJPC.

flash with odin.

DXJPC + dbdata.rfs and movinand.mst
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keagan84:
nope bro i didn't get it ...:confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Weird, I just installed noxxious' jk2 without checking for locked/signed bootloaders then used kies to upgrade to gingerbread without any problems whatsoever.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keagan84:
i guess the results varies from one tab to another =.=
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keagan84:
so do i just flash this from the current DXJPC state or do i need to downgrade again? and how do i apply the movinand.mst?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
From what I read:

Kies doesn't care if you have signed bootloaders or not. Only unauthorized flashing would need unsigned bootloaders-like using Odin or Heimdal

you could just flash it over your current dxjpc. no pit required. movinand is already part of the tar package.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
kabayan,

That error I think is the same as what I experienced-it is a failure in updating the data partition. Although your CSC was changed/updated your firmware which does not support Arabic is not really "updated". And I think when you connect now to kies it will show that it cannot be updated as the CSC will now be wrong....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
may I ask what program you used to modify the fw file to include the movinand.mst?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Yeah...

Yeah, I was waiting for this one... Hopefully, this will eliminate the Partition/MBR error when going into stock recovery, as well as the symbol button bug I encountered... You're the man, noxxious!!! ^_^
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Please check...

Here is the bug I was referring to:

Notice the "symbols" button I have highlighted on the picture attached... Click on it and only the top row works, when you click on any symbol on the bottom row, the ones on the top display...

bongski55, since you were able to reply to most of my post, can you and maybe keagan84, since he has the same MBR error, confirm if this happens to you as well? Appreciate the inputs from others as well...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
i use powerarchiver to add files into the tar package compression is set to store.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
No I can definitely say that the symbols button was ok for me even when I had that error( which I don't have anymore so difficult for me now to replicate). The only problem that happened to me was the broken bootanimation and until I have a better rooting method than cf-root I am comfortable with unrooted tab....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
wierd i didn't encounter any corruption in my bootanimation when i used cf-root 3.3...

Edit: smileys in the symbol quick key don't work for me either. never really noticed the smileys there as i always went to 3rd page of the symbols when inputing smileys...

That's weird... Then maybe I was the only one who's experiencing the bug... I'll try flashing noxxious' F/W when I have time and see if I'll have the same problems as well or if fixes the bug I'm getting... Thanks for the inputs guys!

***Edit: No dice... Still got the wierd keyboard bug and got some new error this time... Something about E: and the /application/preload app... Used DXJK2 then updated to the GB with movinand and got the error and bug... I think that even if I first flashed the official GB then the one with the movinand the keyboard bug will still be there... Hays...

Syet, Suko na ako (I give up)... I'll just go to the official KM2 and be done with it...

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Just install the jk2 kasi and use kies to update to gb. Kulit! :P Make sure you have the latest version of kies.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Pre, he already did that...so happen that he always gets the error....I think our tabs have different components....perhaps ours have more china made components than yours......
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
flashing the firmware containing movinand was only supposed to remove the error with the MBR check... when i got the "E: .../application/preload app" error, i did reflash my tab and wiped it in recovery. no errors after that.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Hehe... Lahat ng tambling ginawa ko na, mawala lang 'yung errors sa recovery (Did every single step in this thread to eliminate the recovery errors), lagi ako sablay (nothing worked for me)... Like bongski55 said, everything does not work for me... Good thing is, they are now releasing GB firmware, it's just a matter of time before they release an update that will end my woes...

My only concern is, if I found a bug on this f/w, who knows what other bigger bugs we might uncover that could affect the performance of the phone... So far I've not found any more, but who knows? I had enough of re-customizing my TAB, so I might not be able to report any more bugs, just hope that samsung releases a more stable version of GB, or just release honeycomb, hehe...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Strange these samsung chaps,they pulled out an almost error free(and almost open) Italian gingerbread. Released a Asian that was almost closed with bugs.

I don't think they will release honeycomb though.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Wahehe, just tried the DXKM3 with the md5 files, I think noxxious has it here already, or you could try this... I connectted it on kies and it prompted me with a firmware update!!! Noxxious, could you try it and post if there will still be E: partition errors? Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
will do.. will report back asap.

edit: just flashed to km3 and updated to gb. no problems whatsoever. the keyboard is still bugged though... :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
I understand that if the update is from kies you should not get any partition errors. The errors only come when you apply tweaks through rooting. I also got errors when I updated from arabic froyo to JQ1 so in my experience it has nothing to do with kies update.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Huwatttt??? No more partition error? Nice!!! Tempted to flash mine, too... ^_^ Thanks noxxious!!!

***Maybe there is just some incompatibilities with home-brewed samsung stuff like the keyboard and GB... But wait, samsung did a lot of customizations!!! x_0
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhon0901:
Mine got the E: Partition error when I updated from JK2 to GB, so I was hoping that I would not get the E: Partition error when jumping from KM3 to GB... And although noxxious already confirmed there was none, I'm still having my doubts... Maybe I'll try to update by going to the service center and see if the keyboard is bugged or not...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
I'm assuming that you're rooted because you said delete not freeze. It probably would have been wise to do a Titanium Backup of all that Tmo crapware before deleting. That being said, there are stock images floating around in the developer section, and if you have CWM installed, a NANDroid as well.
