After following qbking's video and putting the tar in pda instead of phone, and putting the pit in, it now fails even earlier in the process. The status bar comes up on my phone, but as soon as it goes to write cache.fs, it fails. ODIN either comes up and says FAIL in the red box, or ODIN completely crashes. And, same thing as before, I've tried diff USB, rebooted computer, in xp mode, with admin, without admin. I'm starting to think my phone is a brick.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
HAHA it says dont use it in video in annotations i mean come on already as well as in noobs thread its for debugging purposes and will eat your battery alive.

Please read things this is why people have issues and wonder why and then complain its so simple to read by using your eyes

Not being angry but just trying to point out that, this is why noobs either brick or get terrible results.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrStead123:
I got it. I don't know why, but for some reason I had to have Re-Partition, Auto-Reboot, and F. Reset Time all checked, as opposed to only Auto-Reboot. I'm now on EC05. Thanks all for your input. I really do appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lv2bll:
it may be your usb cable. Are you using the factory samsung cable? if so that was the reason why most of my odin's were failing. Try a generic usb cable from monoprice or something and it may help you the same way it helped me!

DO NOT FLASH DEBUG KERNEL

EVEN IN VIDEO it says do not flash.

You think you have a good battery but it would be better if you didn't flash it

Dont call someone a troll if you don't wanna read 100%

Im simply trying to explain and help you out. Several people told you don't flash the debug kernel were all just trying to help each other out.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Failedsquare:
One more thought!

I realize this thread is long dead but i found it using google looking for a solution to this exact issue, so i will add some input from my own personal experience.

Make sure you are using a fully charged battery. Also if you have multiple batteries try swapping between them. I have 2 counterfeit and one authentic battery, using the counterfeits causes problems in odin for me.

Also you may need to repartition if you are coming from a newer rom that is not BML

Hi,

first time caller, long time listener..

I have a question relating to a this post - [KERNEL] Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread Kernel in Ext4 - JVB, JVH - GT-I9000

however as I am not a regular poster I have to post here.. I hope this ends up where it's meant to!!

I have flashed JVP from Samfirmware and then applied kernel Stock+Ext4 Kernel JVP - Gingerbread 2.3.4 from post supplied above.

I am getting some random restarts of phone, has anyone else experienced this?!

thnx and great work!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
Try a factory reset from recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xda013:
I have tried this and am still experiencing random restarts, seems to be just after I swype to unlock screen

if very intermittent though so cannot be 100% that is the case.

I am using Launcher Pro Plus could this be related in anyway?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stooorm:
same here. using 2.3.4 Cyanogenmod (#CM30)

this night my phone restarted on its own.

@ xda013: i do not use launcher pro (using adwlauncher).

i want to know why this restart happened. are there any logs on the phone? anyone knows?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arr0ww:
I had the same problem using JVP 2.3.4, it got so bad that my phone was pretty much unusable. It would be fine for a few hours them BAM, every 30 seconds it would reboot when using it. Had to go back to Froyo....

Hopefully we get a more stable release of 2.3.4 soon!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xda013:
I have removed a battery widget I had been using and the restarts have now stopped.

For others having issues like this I would recommend investigating what

3rd party apps you have installed to see if they may be causing the restarts!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arr0ww:
What widget?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xda013:
Sorry should have aded that!:eek:

The widget is Bonjour battery lite

I dont have enough posts to post a "real" link but you can cut and paste this

Give it another try. This time don't use the pit file. Just the SPH-D700-EC05-8Gb-REL.tar file in the PDA section and make sure there's a check next to it. Also, under option, just have "auto reboot" checked. Leave "re-partition" and "reset time" blank.

Try pulling out the SD card and battery, then put battery back in and boot into download mode without SD card.

Might take a few tries with removing the battery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
Ill try that. If that doesnt work do you think sprint wud be able to tell that odin didnt flash correctly/ Should I just call and say my phone was lost?

Also even if I plug it into the wall with battery in phone it doesnt show red light on that shows its charging.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostrid3r:
If it's a true brick, even sprint techs won't be able to get it to power on/boot, in which case, they won't know what's on it. If it's still under the 1 year manufacture's warranty, in most cases, it normally cost $35 for a replacement or free if you're lucky, YMMV tho.

I have just installed 3.1 and have gotten root on my white 16gb retail verison, I will post instructions hopefully tonight.

*bootloader is still locked =/

*******************************************************************

Please Hit me up on Gtalk if you need anything at all. I am almost always available. Riztnack@gmail.com

*******************************************************************

Update*

I found this work for me and these are the steps that I have taken.

First:

Go to this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119492

Follow the instructions there, once you reboot your tab you will get alot of FC, it is because of the stock android keyboard dictionary. You can curb the FC by switching the keyboard to Samsung keyboard.

Once this step is complete, download this

Root exploit

Place in on the root of your SD card

Turn off your tab

-press and hold the power button

-once the samsung galaxy 10.1 comes up push the volume down button

-release the buttons, this will display two icons

-push the volume down once to select the left icon, then press volume up to enter

-this will load up the stock recovery

-select the option to install update from SD card

-install the root/SU file you just downloaded and put on your SD card

-reboot into android

once rebooted, you should have root. but you still have a little bit of system instability.

-download this

http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/hc_31/hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip

-put it on the root of your SD card

-download the free verison of rom manager

-open it, select the top option, flash clockworkmod recovery, select samsung galaxy tab 10.1

-you should now have CWM flashed

Turn off your tab

-press and hold the power button

-once the samsung galaxy 10.1 comes up push the volume down button

-release the buttons, this will display two icons

-push the volume down once to select the left icon, then press volume up to enter

-this will load up the clockwork recovery

*******DONT WIPE*******

-select the option to install update from SD card

-install the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip

it will take a little while to install, give it a few.

-Reboot

it will take a while on the samsung screen, give it a few.

once the tab is booted back up, check the version. 3.1

you can go back to using the stock android keyboard as well now.

You also might notice that you have lost root now.

Just reflash the root/su file that we did through the stock. reboot and you have a locked 3.1 with root tab =)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] klebs89:
Worked perfectly on a 16 gb retail gray with locked boot loader.

I followed the instructions to the letter. For good measure, i then did a factory reset, followed by a re-root. Boot loader is still locked (as was expected) but considering the speed this was done in, I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Looks like those two failed exchanges today looking for an unlocked tab were a big waste of time.

Only clarification I want to make is there is no need to check for the OTA (credit for this also to Riztnack)

Absolutely brilliant work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] DroidHam:
What do we need a unlocked bootloader for if we have root and CWM?

Your boot loader is unlocked (many people's are). Check the other root thread for other people with your situation(even though apparently this method should work as well).

Worked like a charm! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] DroidHam:
how do you tell if your bootloader is unlocked? is it possible before buying?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Framedtrash:
you would have to boot the tab up to check if the bootloader is unlocked

at the moment it doesn't matter as we can get root on both the unlocked and locked bootloaders

you only need a unlocked bootloader for flashing new kernals and at the moment we dont have any

the guys got root access in only a few days im sure they will work out how to crack the bootloader soon enough

How is it that Samsung is selling some random units with unlocked bootloader? Or is it any particular model?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] nakedninja42:
Two things, are you in download mode or still powered on when you are trying? Flashing with ODIN requires to be in download mode.

Second, are you plugged straight into the computer or using a hub? Always plug directly into a USB port on the motherboard if you are getting issues.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] IDroidThere4Iam:
Just for clarification, the locked bootloader does not prevent you from installing custom kernels. I currently have a locked, 16GB white retail, rooted, CWM installed, with the custom OC kernel from pershoot and I'm using setCPU to configure it. Locked or unlocked we all should be good.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] IDroidThere4Iam:
I *think* if you have a locked bootloader you can only flash things that are signed and have a valid key. If you want more detail than that a dev will have to answer. Sorry I can't give a better answer.

Rooting my device from here is the only thing I have changed/done to my GT10.1retail so I think this may have something to do with what I am experiencing at the moment. All went well with the rooting process but now I seem to have occasional screen lockups. When this happens I have to either rotate the screen or turn the screen off then on to get the touch screen to work again. Now this is NOT a screen FREEZE as I am able to get the rotate to work its just the touch does not activate any buttons or swypes wont register but like I said above once I rotate the screen all is back to normal. Anyone else having this issue? Apps that seem most affected

-gReader

-Maxthon browser

other apps as well but these two are the worst.
