[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ix3u:
So this time I'm going to be a little preemptive. I ordered a GTab like a week ago, spent the time waiting for it to get here doing a ton of reading so I could go ahead and get it flashed right away. It got here and I immediately ran into problems. I got CWM on there no problem and first flashed [ROM-AOSP]G-Harmony Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Honeycomb elements(UPDATED 4/17) with no problem. Didn't like it so tried to flash the CM7 nightly (which I have running on my evo and hero) and it kept getting stuck on the black screen with that just had "android" written on it really small. Since I hadn't anticipated running into something like that, I did even more reading. Decided to try some more roms and see if I had similar problems. Ran into similar problems with the vegan GB except it would hang on the powered by the "gtabdevs" screen or whatever it said. Vegan 5.1 or whatever the other Vegan one is I could get booted up fine though. So I read some mroe since I really wanted CM7. Discovered that I might need to re-partition, so went into CWM and repatitioned to what everyone was saying was the correct settings. Still a no go and got stuck on android screen. So after even more reading I kept seeing everyone saying NVFlash. So I found it, downloaded everything, read the sticky post on how to do it like 4 times before trying it, then gave it a shot. Put the tab into APX mode (vol- and power) and flashed everything and then when it was done, it was stuck in the APX mode. Very irritating considering I had only had it for about 6 hours. Anyways, sent it back and am getting a new one. It will be here tomorrow morning.

Sooooo, after that long winded explanation of everything, here is my question... How the **** can I get CM7 on my tab without wrecking it again? I did a ton of reading, and nothing I had seen helped at all. Everyone says wipe this and wipe that, or mount these then wipe those, or nvflash then do it and so basically I'm just not sure what to do. I WILL NOT use the nvflsh again and risk getting the APX loop, so any good advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
I just email walked my sister through installing CM7 on her new gtablet.

Have CM7harmony7.02.zip (or whatever.....7.02 is latest stable release....there is a newer nightly though if you prefer that), the gapps.zip on your computer.

install Clockworkmod recovery on your tablet like you did before.

Boot into CWM and partition sd card, 2048 for first partition and 0 for the second one.

attache via USB to your computer, mount usb option in CWM and copy the ROM.zip and the Gapps.zip to your tablet. Eject tablet from computer (USB eject) and unmount in CWM.

- wipe data/cache (factory reset)

- advanced, - wipe davlik cache

install .zip from sd card

(install the ROM, then choose to install .zip from sd card again and install gapps).

Reboot.

Make sure your tablet is NOT running OS 3991 (very unlikely) or 4349 (possible though unlikely) before doing any of this. (ie...boot tablet out of box and check it's OS version in settings).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ix3u:
Thanks for the walk through. Hopefully it will go smoothly this time around. I'll post back tomorrow after it gets here on if it worked out or not.

If it does have one of those 2 versions on it, I assume I just use the down grader from the thread taking about those 2 versions?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Correct, downgrade and then proceed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ix3u:
Even though I'm 100% sure that at some point of me trying last time that I did in fact do all of those steps, it was a no go.....But this time, I'm sitting here watching the CM7 boot screen :)

Thanks a ton

Been using 2.3.3 for just over a day now and there are a couple of things I've noticed that seem really messy.

First thing I noticed is the notification and quick settings tabs seem really out of place. I feel they should be at the very bottom where the drag down bar is, it something slime those lines.

I also don't like where the facebook status's are now when you call someone. It covers up the top of the picture, which I'm alot of cases us where the face is!

Maybe I'm being petty, well I am but hey I'm a design student!

[Q] Have Captivate with 2.1(factory),Want to update to 2.2(official release) & Root

Hi everyone,

I have a captivate running 2.1 as the factory default os. I want to update it to the official 2.2

And then ROOT it (and sim unlock)

I'd like to know from you guys how I could get this done. ty
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
official update through Kies (program from samsung).

As for root, use superoneclick (SuperUser).

And I believe there's a market app that will give you the code for the unlock (can't remember what it's called).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
upgrade with kies. super one click to root after. unlock with galaxy s unlocker.

search before posting
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Hey now, I replied 1st :p haha

Although, thx for the app name :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
SIM unlock it first with SUPERONECLICK...save yourself the hassle afterwards
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Please take the time to do a search before posting as this could have easily been answered by doing so.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
So the way to go would be,

1.Update to (official) 2.2 using kies

2.Then Use the SuperOneClick v1.9.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 to ROOT the device

3.And finally find an app to perform the sim-unlock

Have I got it right ?

Thanks for all your comments, I should have searched a bit more before posting,, I appreciate all your replies
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Indeed, that is right.

The whole process takes 10min tops ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You can do the sim unlock at any point (as long as your rooted). Once you do it it's unlocked.

I did mine just to show off to my tmobile friend that I could use his sim. I've flashed a lot since then, on gingerbread right now actually, still unlocked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
Thank you BWolf56 ,studacris n Pirateghost for the support, I feel confident to go ahead with that method

Hi again, My captivate has:

Baseband Version - I897UCJH7

Build Number - ECLAIR.UCJH7

I am looking at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761751

If I follow as I stated above and first Update to 2.2 (official), Next Root it with Supr1Clik, and then Try to Unlock it (like in link above) could it give me any errors (at the unlock stage)?

I read that 2.2 limits certain unlock methods(like it changes certain directories), I'd like to know if this could affect me in the process? You know like screw me up at the last moment hehe

BTW I have not yet rooted or updated to official 2.2, still running 2.1 ECLAIR.UCJH7

Kindly refer to my previous post and help me find a solution. ty
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
SGS unlock (your 2nd option) works great. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you are wasting your time going through all those steps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

while still on JH7, use SUPERONECLICK to both, root, and unlock

do NOT update to 2.2 before you unlock it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
Okay I will not update it to 2.2 before unlocking. But Did you mean use SUPERONECLICK to unlock it also ? I didn't know it could perform unlock, could it ? Please tell me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Yes, you can unlock it with superoneclick as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
I really didn't know I could network unlock it with SuperOneClick,

But Even if it could perform the unlock I don't actually know how to, I don't see it mentioned in the page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

WOW, So which one first , ROOT or Network Unlock ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You need to root 1st.

1.I set the phone to debug mode.

2.Didn't mount the sd card (under notification drop-down on the device), but I did see the drive under MyComputer but it was empty, i guess it means its not mounted

what am i doing wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
its also says 'automatic version check failed' and then asks me if its version 2.0 or higher, I pressed yes(saying its higher).

While the process is running, I noticed In the background my windows plays the new hardware detected sound, you know the 'bing bing'

I tried removing the battery, retrying removing my external memory card and also in the sd settings unmounting the 'Internal Sd Card'.

I have tried pressing root 3 times so far, still no luck

pls help

HI Everyone, I used SGS Unlock Tool to generate the unlock and unfreeze code. It wasn't working before I rooted, but it is now.

I am not going to upgrade to 2.2 atm but I wanted to see how kies would do it.

So when I clicked on update version it showed the following:

Is I897UCKB1 the 2.2 update ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yup.

If you update you'll have to root and enable non market apps again. you should still be unlocked though...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
K, I'd also like to state that my internet is very slow when downloading from there servers, It would be terrible if it downloads at slow speeds during the update(or stops), if it takes hours it could get risky. Is there a way I can download the I897UCKB1 first and then update through kies mini ? and are there any other ways to do the update?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
plain and simple, you dont want the official UCKB1 update....it sucks. there are a ton of custom roms here that are 1000 times better than the stock UCKB1....

im not biased or anything, but Andromeda is a good pick ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
technically it does download first, then flashes your phone in about 2-3 minutes. but it wants your phone plugged in the whole time so you dont try to fool it.

and official update sucks if you want custom roms. if you are going to stay stock do it.

2.2 had better features over 2.1 but adds crap to get in your way of upgrading to custom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis01:
With as much trouble as you've had trying to just root your phone, i'd HIGHLY suggest you go to youtube and search for mobiltech videos. He's on here and has some very good vids on how to do pretty much everything to your phone. You can follow right along with him and make sure you phone and computer says the same things. They should be mandatory for all noobs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lol Qaeda:
After getting the same error as you did (rootfs --> failure) I tried this and it worked perfectly.

Granted, I'm using a Vibrant but just thought I'd post my experience for anybody it might help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
So If kies download is interrupted (while it is still downloading the update) It wont have any neg effects on the phone, am I right ?

I agree, the custom roms are cooler, but for the moment I'd like to stay stock.

Glad that it worked for you.

Really useful, thanks for that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes, it doesn't actually do anything to your phone until the download completes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infaas:
Should I Un-Root before I update to 2.2 ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Nope, the update will unroot when it flashes, you will need to root again after the update...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
No.

You will have to re-root after tho.

This is the latest update from google that was pushed last night. There are issues and this isn't stable yet. This is being posted here to get some attention.I want to thank the CM Team and dsixda for the android kitchen. I used cyanogenmod's device tree, qcom, legacy hardware. This is a WIP as there are issues. This update changed a few things so some things still need to be figured out.

NOTE: I am not responsible for what anyone does. I am just doing my best to bring the latest android to our phones.

Issues:

* 4g

* Camcorder

* Launcher2 (Sometimes get all buggy and needs to be FC'd)

Everything else as I can tell is working fine. If you have any ideas and want to lend a hand please do so. Here is the info for this.

Rom and Gapps w/ New Talk.apk:

http://www.mediafire.com/?p05q54839gjzt

Github:

https://github.com/LithRom

How to sync and build it:

git clone https://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen.git android-Kitchen
mkdir lithrom
repo init -u git://github.com/LithRom/aosp.git
repo sync
cd lithrom
cd device/htc/supersonic
. /extract-files.sh
cd ../../..
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch lithrom_supersonic-userdebug
make -j2 (or how ever many jobs you want to run)

Now once that is done since I don't know if the otapackage is working or not (usually needs edits) I just take the system.img and boot.img from:

out/target/product/supersonic

Move them into the android-kitchen and add busybox and root it for now. Everything will be fix including the otapackge eventually.

If there is anything else please let me know.

there is an SO file: libTalk_jni.SO that is probabaly required. The original "libjingle" source google used for chat is in C++, so it isn't surprising that the lib was made from JNI.
