@kosh, you're already confusing the poor chap. Could you please let me handle this, and not confuse him further?

OK. Here's the deal. If you're planning to use KIES to update, which in my opinion is one of the worst POS software ever developed, then you wouldn't need to patch your bootloader.

HOWEVER, if you're flashing with ODIN, then there's a huge chance of failure, when you're on FROYO (2.2) and using a signed/protected bootloader. The issue is on some of the stock FROYO firmwares that you find on samfirmware, the bootloaders are signed AND protected/locked. On the Gingerbread-based firmwares, the bootloaders are signed too, but the kicker is, they're unlocked.

The reason you're unable to complete these flashes with ODIN is with a huge percentage of certainty, due to the damn protected bootloaders on Froyo.

Refer here for the bootloader patch:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071

IF YOU'RE ABLE TO BOOT BACK INTO YOUR TAB, AND IT'S NOT SOFTBRICKED, THEN GET THE APK IN THAT THREAD TO PATCH YOUR TAB.

Anyway, I've attached the P1_add_hidden.pit (again in zip format... you know why by now). I've also attached the Froyo-based Overcome guide, with the links to our froyo-based JMF-stocksafe package found within the PDF, the links should still be functional)

Kies is a real pain in the posterior...

From what I gather it's best to run it with firewall and anti-virus software totally disabled.

I wonder if it's safer in Kies to do an emergency firmware (2.2.1) recovery first before attempting an upgrade to 2.3.3

That way you have a clean version before the actual upgrade.

Hi everyone!

I have been through all of the thread and the steps to fix this but still no joy.

Odin sees the Tablet but the process always fails...

I guess next step is to find a Samsung Service Centre, or an XDA expert who lives near to me! :p

I also read about hard reset in this thread

But I cannot make my Tablet go into that reset mode... the GALAXY Tab SAMSUNG screen does not change...

I will research more today...

If you can, have you tried patching the bootloader?

Hi thepittbull!

Yes, I cannot boot my tablet except to see the Galaxy Tab Samsung screen and if I hold volume down the download screen,

But I cannot get past those. I also tried the volume up button and nothing happens.

I have read the thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071 but have no idea how to get the apk onto my device if I cannot get it to boot.

I am trying to charge it up now, I get a beautiful stripey screen with soo many pretty colours!! I cannot get past that screen now!

edit now back to a black screen... and charging now gives me a white screen...

I am stunned to think I get these problems because I tried to upate using KIES..

You could try Heimdall but you need to find the stock firmware you first had before the update. This will be allowed to be updated through ODIN too as the bootloaders, protected or not, match...

2 questions:

Are your kies drivers up to date?

And are you launching odin before you connect your tab to pc or after?

I flunked my first attempt as my tab was already connected to the pc before i launched Odin?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
Hi!

drivers are up to date, and I launched Odin first...

but then tried connecting the tab via usb and then launching Odin.

I could never get past either the Samsung Tb screen or the downloading screen.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
UPDATE...

Hi,

I sent my tablet away to Samsung's recommended repairer in Norwich, on Monday 1st August, and received it back today.

Unfortunately, they re-flashed it to FROYO 2.2! So I called the repair centre and was told that is what Samsung tell us to re-flash.

So I called Samsung 0845-672 678 64 and was told that Gingerbread 2.3.3 was NOT available in the UK.

I said that KIES showed the update was available, and was then told it is an error with KIES, and no update for now!!

I can see here at XDA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086484&page=26 that olyloh6696 has updated!

I can't find anything on this so I'm either the noobiest here or I am just blind.

I have a Defy with me here and its Sim free and just plain 2.1 Blur. So I want to know if I can just install 2nd init download MIUI/CM7 and instal it through clock work? Any advice is appreciated :D
[Defy General] Jaflo:
Please read some more. I'd recommend you take a look at the 'Defy Android Development' section. To help you a bit:

You should first root your phone.

Then flash Android 2.2 (flash a nandroid backup and a fixed sbf to keep downgrade ability)

After you've done that you can install Cyanogen.
[Defy General] SpawNyK:
Yes, read the CM7 FAQ Thread in the Defy Android Development.
[Defy General] sg3707:
I think you should use fixed and flashing method so that you can have downgradability to 2.1
[Defy General] LenAsh:
Go to 2.2 stock via MSU or RSD anyway. Since this is an official update, Warranty is not an issue. You don't need root to do this.

Once there, and you may find 2.2 very usable (I do and you know from the Blade how much cooking I do!), you can then try 2.3 flavours. They need you to be at 2.2 anyway.

when you connect your x10 windows will not install all drivers.

afted downloading the drivers, open the zip and drag out the folder inside

now right click on "my computer" then go to devices and right click on the one with the exclamation mark, then choose to manually install the drivers and from the window which will open find the extracted folder and click "ok"

wait for the installation and you are done!

Samsung makes touchwiz for its products, so it would never be available for a Motorola device first. Regardless of which tablet came first.

I really liked the speed of the ROM but I have one issue. When I installed Opera Mobile the font in that application looks strange. It's usually Arial I think in other ROM, but now it looks like some Asian version of English font.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

There really is no reason to ever use stock when we've got so many great ROMs to choose from.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
A couple days ago, I was in this little wine bar and I noticed a guy down the bar sitting by himself. He saw me pull out my G2X so he walked over to ask me how I liked it. Upon responding to his weird answer, I noticed a T-Mobile ID badge around his neck but those was not your normal no nothing sales executive. This guy actually had a important job and I could tell by his Armani suit with an insanely high thread count. I too him I liked mine but also told him that it was my 5th one since the first 4 were plagued with problems. I also told him about all the complaints I hear online and in these forums concerning issues anywhere from screen bleed to bad battery's. We had a couple drinks together and started bullshitting about phones. This guy was so easy to buy information from. All it took was a couple shots of Patron and a couple glasses of Opus One Cabernet. He proceeds to tell me about all the phones coming out in the next couple months which included 2 high end Samsung phones (A dual core version of the Infuse codnamed Hercules) and the real SGSII with the Exynos chip. He also told me about another high end HTC device and the next Nexus device that will be a quad core and released in November. All of this news was nothing compared to what he told me next. Quite frankly, I'm sure he could be fired for what he told me next. He said that this version of GB for the G2X was I fact rushed but they were not going to release another version of it. Instead, they are going to update us with Ice Cream Sandwich in 3 weeks and the G2X will be the first device to get it. He said the phone can't really get any buggier than what it already is so Google has decided to put the buggy phone to use and make us all Beta testers for Ice Cream Sandwich.

Or what he might of meant is that the G2x will be the first to receive the ICS update. Hopefully we do get that update, but I honestly don't think LG would update this phone to a major update such as ICS especially since they struggled so badly with Gingerbread. I can only imagine how much customers and money LG has lost by releasing the G2x and O2x with all the software issues it had/has. For the record my only 2 issues with this phone are random reboots and camera app being dark (yes I'm on the Gingerbread update).

Oh, the SGSII part of the story is actually true. I take it you haven't been to the Samsung web page for the GSII or have read Tmonews lately. By the way, what I do know is that the reason it is taking so long to get stateside is because Samsung wants to launch it on the major 4 on the same day.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Barry, I also have other information that you can believe or not, it really doesn't matter to me. I've said it before but I don't say it much, my step father works for Samsungs Corporate Insurance division in NJ. He actually rubs the entire department and has close friends in the marketing and mobile division which are located in the same building he works in. If you look back about 3 months through my post history you will see that I posted about the stateside GSII release. My step father knows how much I am into mobile devices so he gives me all the information he knows which isn't a whole lot. About 3 more the ago he told me the GSII would take a while to release in the states because Samsung will not do a staggered release of it. They want to be able to run commercials and advertisements for one release date because they think they can sell more phones like that rather than depending on the providers to advertise. They want to outline the features of there devices kinda of like Apple does with the iPhone instead of the providers telling you in the commercial why their network is better than the other guys. They have been shooting the commercials at his building for the past couple of months since the marketing division is located there as well.

Anyway, to make a long story short, the GSII will release on ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon on the same exact day. It just takes a while to get the contracts done and everything planned for a release on such a large scale. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense and you wonder why other manufacturers haven't done the same thing.
