There's a huge difference between "doing more research" and flashing a ROM from a completely different phone.... Unfortunately you've learnt this the hard way.

You messed up - we've all done it - my best was trying to flash a CWM ROM in Odin - but you did it big time:(:(

Good luck!

since there was a mention that we should not use repartition on our phones, why is that I see that there are EXT4.PIT files available for use.

I will be able to repair this type of issue soon with my JTAG solutions. I'm just working with my support team to develop a resurrection file and map out the JTAG points. I believe I have points so now scripting just needs to be done and I'll be offering the JTAG service for the SGS II. I already offer it for Captivate, i9000, Vibrant, Epic, Vibrant 4G and many many more to help people with bad bootloaders.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
From what I can gather, you dont need a pit file and repartition if its a single file package, but if its a 3-4 file package we can use reportion with a pitfile and use the user_low_ship under PDA right ?

Your best (and I'd say only hope) is to buy a usb jig from ebay as some others have told you. Once in download mode, you should be able to flash another ROM. Failing that, take the phone back where you bought it and hope they don't have the equipment to check what is actually wrong.

I don't understand the point in coming to a thread where someone is pretty desparate and feeling quite sh*tty as it is, and calling them an idiot. Either help or respectfully stay quiet, really.

I don't know much but I hope It won't get worse after using an usb jig.

Sorry to say so but your device has been hard bricked. The usb jig won't help either. The only way to revive your device is to send it to a repair service with jtag equipment or to samsung and hope they don't notice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GIR:
Well..... let me think.... Oh obviously repartitioning is a risking thing to do and shouldn't be done unless necessary. But if you would've read up on subjects mr "I'm an expert on things look at me shifting through boxes of sgs2's to find the perfect one" you would've already known this.

But hey, if you want to argue about it, go ahead repartition your device, but don't come crying here when you brick it.

None of the files in that thread will hard brick your phone, so don't worry too much.

Just choose the correct KFx or KGx kernel depending of what software you have. Incorrect CF-root kernel will NOT hard brick your phone.

Please note that you haven't told us what sw-version you have now after the repair, so no one can tell you what CF-kernel you should have.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
Hi all,

been reading with interest this forum and was very pleased when Kies finally told me there is an update to my UK unbranded Tab's firmware (didn't want to go down the DIY update route...)

Just have a couple of questions about it though, which I am hoping someone may be able to answer: so here goes:

- what happens to user data (settings mostly, as photos/music/etc are backed up anyway)

- what happens to installed apps? Will these be automatically re-installed as part of the update process?

- what about rooting under 2.3? I am using the excellent z4root to get temporary root privileges so I can run my backups with Titanium (which I guess is the answer to the first two questions) - will z4root work in 2.3? If not, any equivalents so I can restore with Titanium and not worry all settings/data will be lost?

Many thanks in advance :)

Note I would like to go the "normal" (Kies) way of updating...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
1. Home screen settings are not saved.

2. Apps are retained

3. You lose root and only way so far to root is CF root
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
Thanks bongski
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
There is a one click root that will work on stock gb too. It's not perfect, and you really have to read the instructions, but it works, and remember to donate.

Advice for restoring apps with titanium - be sure to restore apps, but no data, as this is the cause of so many problems on upgrades.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
And it's called? :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
If you are talking about super one click root the latest kies update cannot be rooted as the exploit had been patched/closed.

I am also interested in other rooting method.

With Titanium backup you can backup applications.Contacts you can backup with gmail and you can even backup sms with the application ' restore and backup sms '

Be careful with titanium backup when restoring data FROM OLD FIRMWARE. Restore only the app on a new firmware to avoid problems.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Make sure the back up folder is on your external sd card, or your back up will get wiped when you repartition.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
I too use Titanium currently, but it requires root privileges, so if rooting is not yet available for Gingerbread, then presumably it won't be able to restore after the update anyway?

The apps will re-install anyway as I understand it, providing one gives the same gmail account to the device after the update, since they will appear in "my apps" on the market?

My current firmware is FROYO.XWJJ7? (whee can I find the CDA, PHONE etc?)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treb1971:
The rest of the firmware info is on Kies, on the general tab. But it looks like you're on a different build to me... My build is JMI. I'll just have to wait, maybe...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Gingerbread can be rooted. After you install your gingerbread rom, you flash a kernel into the rom that has the root.

In the development section look for CF-Root v3.3. You flash that kernel using odin3 1.7 in the phone section. It takes ten seconds, the the tab reboots, and is rooted.

Then set up your google account, go to the market, get titanuim and install it, and in titanium change the backup folder to your external sd card, and restore your stuff.

Go for it!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.G.:
The version of your phone (=modem) you will find in settings -> about device, under "Baseband version".

The CSC-version can be found if you enter *#272*YOURIMEI# in the phone-app. Your IMEI can be found in settings -> about device -> status under "IMEI".

Have fun with Gingerbread.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Or does he mean what goes into blank lines in odin?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.G.:
the1madsailor talks about updating via Kies. He specifically mentions this in the first post, too.

Odin was just brought up when the question of rooting by installing CF-Root arose.

By the way: in Odin kernels need to be inserted under "PDA", not "PHONE". "PHONE" is just for the modem.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Really? :^?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
Some days later still haven't upgraded... :rolleyes:

Been reading about CF-Root and how to get back to the stock ROM after rooting for a Galaxy S II which recently landed on my hands, which I assume is the same (if not identical) process for the Tab?

Not taken the plunge yet with the Tab as I'm dreading having to re-do all the customisation of all the apps, settings etc...

Out of curiosity, what's Samsung's liability if a "proper" upgrade goes south and one looses all data? Given Kies is not backing up anything worth backing up, surely they (Samsung) have some share of the blame?

Might just go for it in the end and hope for the best (the proper upgrade). From the GSII I can confirm all *paid* apps appear in my account, the free ones need to be manually located and re-installed.

Thanks for your help so far!! :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You can upgrade to the stock gingerbread (I recommend the JQ1 GB) then root using the CF-Root v3.3.

I don't know about the sgs2 process, but if you go to the overcome rom thread, you can download a perfect step-by-step guide. Start at the beginning of the guide, and stop at the end of the CF-Root step. Why put it off? Gingerbread is a hundred times nicer than froyo.

Go to the market and get the appsaver app, and back up everett app you are concerned about.

I will be free all day tomorrow. Pm me, then we can exchange email adresses. It is a faster way to discuss things if you get in trouble. I have calouses on my hands from holding many hands of people as they learn to do these things.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
Many thanks rangercaptain and thanks for the offer too!!! :)

I will not be able to do much before the weekend anyway, but what I was thinking is the following (please correct me if I'm wrong):

0. Backup apps, data and market links (where available) with Titanium (using z4root at the mo - wish there was something like it for 2.3 - so simple and easily reversible!!!) - DONE!

1. Let Kies do it's thing (whether that's just an update to 2.2 or the whole thing through to 2.3), making note of all versions (PHONE, PDA, CSC)

2. If I get the 2.3, get ODIN and CF-Root 3.3 and run the rooting process

2(a). Get the Overcome ROM and follow the instructions (not sure about this as it doesn't seem to have the modem included so not sure what that means)

2(b). If I do 2(a) above, get a copy of my stock ROM from somewhere for reverting to stock if needed

3. Get Titanium installed again from the market and restore everything (apps, data and market links) from the backup folder

What I really want is to upgrade to Gingerbread through the "official" channels but be able to restore everything as it is at the moment with regards to the apps and their settings/data. The Overcome idea is simply because I wouldn't mind having a slightly improved version of Gingerbread with things like Ad-hoc WiFi capabilities (am I right in understanding that OC has this embedded instead of me having to copy the wpa_supplicant file?)

Am I missing something?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Your steps will be fine. But there is only a few official releases of GB. JQ1 is official, but it was released in Italy. It's a good release because it's a multi csc rom, so many locales can use it. There is an asian and an arabic official rom too.

If you connect to kies, it will probably say no upgrade available. But then you should follow the overcome guide.

You have the right backup-restore plan. Be sure your backup directory is on your external sd card or it will get wiped in your upgrade process. Do not choose restore system data - that will cause many problems.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
Thanks again!

By not restoring system data, I take it it's advisable then to only backup my own apps and not the system apps/data?

I'm sure I've seen somewhere (perhaps researching the SGII) that the UK was getting the official update through Kies for sometime now and that the KE2 version was available online somewhere...

Kies has told me there was an update available a few days ago, just haven't noticed whether it was 2.3 or 2.2...

Will revert :o
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1madsailor:
So this is what Kies tells me is available for my Tab:

PDA: JMI from JJ7

PHONE: JMA from JK5

CSC: JM2 (CPW) from JJ5 (CPW)

So (pardon the ignorance here), is this Gingerbread or simply an update to Froyo?

TIA!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
JMI is	froyo from January.

Don't update any system apps or data. Only backup user apps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
If you are S-Off, you're still Rooted (Well not really rooted, I think, but you can flash recovery and ROMS that have root)

And the 2.10 version is the Hboot you want, too.

The new locked one is 2.16.xx

Seems like you may be confused.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liwwil_1:
Yes but after the updated bootloader when I boot into recovery all have is a red arrow

Also superuser say I dont have root
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
As long as you're S-Off, you can flash recovery by putting the Amon Ra (Recommended) PC36IMG.zip on the root of your SD Card, boot up by holding power and volume down at the same time, then when it boots into Hboot, it does it's scan, finds PC36IMG.zip and asks if you want to update. Hit yes, then let it flash, then it will reboot to Hboot again.

It'll scan and find the image again and ask if you want to update again, and this time, hit no, then select recovery and you should be good to go.

Here's the link to Amon Ra: Amon Ra
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liwwil_1:
Thanks I didnt know if that would work since superuser was saying I didn't have root
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Realistically, you don't. S-Off isn't root. S-Off means the security is off so you can flash custom images onto your phone, starting with Recovery. Recovery gives you the ability to flash .zip files like ROMS, Mods, Themes, etc. Root is, if I have this correctly, in the ROM you flash.

I know on the Moment, it was in the kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you took the OTA, you're not rooted despite being nand unlocked (s-off). Flash the recovery of your choice, make a nandroid backup, wipe cache & dalvik cache, then flash the rooted version. However, you said you're on the older hboot, so maybe you didn't take the OTA?

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
The latest ota should have put you to hboot 2.16. Regardless, it doesn't turn you s on. You are still s off which means you are able to flash alternative recovery as previously mentioned. I was able to downgrade from 2.16 back to 2.10 after taking the ota. I was in the process of unrooting to get phone repaired. But I was only able to downgrade due to my security being set to s off. If I had run unrevoked s on tool prior to ota, then I would not have been able to downgrade and would have lost root permanently until a new exploit gets discovered. That is what I ultimately did. I am s on with latest hboot. Unrooted is not really good. Hehe.
