Hi!

My lovely galaxy tab 10.1 entered into the famous boot loop.

A friend of me got to recover my tablet by wiping all data, flaching boot and recovery again and installing the 3.1.

When He gave it back to me, we realize that the internal memory was only 13gb instead of the previous 32gb.

I tried to "format the SD" through the recovery but with the recovery that I istalled trhough Rom Manager it allows only 4gb, so I didn't try.

I don't have many details of what was the recovery process, and I'm a proud owner of the GT sice 4 or 5 days. I didn't find anybody with a similar problem.

Any suggestion?

Do a factory reset and it will come back
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
Thanks a lot for your answer. What do youou mean exactly with a factory reset? Should i install a clean rom, or there is a simplier way to do it? I assume that i will need to reroot afterwards.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
I did a factory reset. It deletes all rhe data on the tab, butbit doesnt really format the internal storage. It still shows only 13gb.

Any other posbility?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MagicOnline:
maybe your "friend" substitute your 32gb with a 16gb model. because reformating the int sdcard in recovery will bring back the full space. no matter what.

my 16gb model shows 13gb space. see what i mean ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riz157:
double check serial Nos etc on box.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
I don't think he changed the tab.

I wanted to format the int sdcard in recovery, but when I reboot in recovery, I dont see any option to format the sdcard. It is maybe "format data"?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xTONEx:
When i had to save my io from a bootloop. I too only got 13 free after... A factory reset actually does wipe and format the memory. Worked for me

And theres quite a few other threads about it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] chlrbwls:
Are all of the io edition of the tab 32 gb? I thought since they were giving it out for free it would be 16 gb
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TML1504:
maybe it was wrong repartitioned during the flash - this would be my guess...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
I did a factory reset both via settings/security/factory reset and recovery/factory reset and in none of the cases deleted any file in the storage.

Do you know if there is any alternative way to fully format the storag e, via addb or fastboot?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
Any help? Could you suggest me another way to format the internal storage of my gt? I already tried the factory reset in the recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
are you using stock retail recovery or have you flashed cmw and usomg that recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
I have the cwm recovery. I flashed it with the rom manager
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kaediil:
I am having the same problem. I am so sick of this tablet and its boot looping problems. I am going to try fastboot wiping the device and reflashing the stock recovery tomorrow.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xTONEx:
I wonder what u guys r doing to get enuff bootloops for it to be a real issue... Have had my io tab since they came out and only once (before the retail was even out) has it happened to me and only after i was messing with things...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kaediil:
I am not "doing" anything to make this happen. Most of the time it happens like this:

1) Use tab for a while at night before bed.

2) Plug in tab on nightstand, turn out light got o bed.

3) Wake up next morning, click power button to wake tab Tab and it is on the infamous Entering Upload mode.

4) After which it goes into boot loop mode.

So, after reflashing the stock recovery, the factory reset trick worked. Apparently whatever call the factory reset does will not work with Clockwork.

Well, at least this time I made a nandroid backup using fastboot boot clockwork so when it fails the next time I can restore it.

-frank
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xTONEx:
Maybe its cwm causing the headaches, i havnt even bothered with it yet on this tab
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kaediil:
Except I did not have that on my tab until this last crash. Before that I kept everything still unrooted like I got it. I took it off again when the reset failed so we will see if/when it crashes again.

-frank
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
So after reflashing the stock recovery and doing the factory reset it this clean the storage and you could recover the full capacity? I will try this afternoon.

Do the change of recovery affects the root?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kaediil:
Edhered, I do not believe that it will affect root, but since mine is not rooted I can't say for sure.

Also, to try and avoid this problem, I have been just turning my Tab off at night before plugging it in since it usually happens overnight when I am not using it.

-frank
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
solved!

el_satri and me, we have finally solved the problem of my galaxy 10.1

It took a while beacause the USB port was not working, we had open the tab and make some repairs.

After some fight agains ODIN (no way to make it work with W7Ultimate), we installed the stock recovery, factory reset and finally the 32Gb are still there.

We will post soon what was the problem on the usb port and the shabby repair we used.

thanks for the help!

Gal Tab 10.1 3/4G shows only 13GB

I love my Tab 10.1, but after I did my first ICS ROM load I too only display 13GB.

My tab is a 32GB, with the 3/4G capability. B ut after my first ice cream sandwich I was put on a diet.

I hope this is only temporary until it and camera are fixed?

Loving my TMO Galaxy Tab 10.1, 32GB
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Aragorn450:
Getting Back the full 32GB

I had the same problem for a bit and finally got it fixed by returning to stock using Team Overcome's guide here:

teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5

Scroll to near the bottom to see the section called Re-"Stocking" Yer System... and follow the instructions. Worked well for me!

Gal Tab 10.1 wifi or 3G 32GB

Well I dared to perform the dreaded "Factory Reset" and I am happy to report it did clear everything (personal) out, but it did not revert my 32GB Galaxy 3/4G GSM Tablet back to 32GB :( .

Now what? I really would like to have my former 32GB of memory available.

I will load another ROM so I get my 32 back, I even tried without success to load a ROM for a 32GB 8.9 Galaxy Tab, but "no joy". So, which ROM should I try?

Signed, sinking in 13GB of RAM
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
Read the complete thread. If you have the cwm recovery it will not format the internal memory. You have to use odin to come back to the stock recovery, then factory reset and it will recover the 32gb. Take into account that will erase everything this time. Then, you can reinstall the cwm recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] w2alq:
Recovering my 32GB

I am new to this, so to ensure I understand correctly. I will perform the return to original state using odin (ver. 1.85 ? ? ?) and my root will still be intact?

Oh-by-the-way, verified that I still have 32GB available (used the terminal and checked the memory in linux using the df cmd).

If, I can't remain rooted then this is a moot point. Perhaps I am confused.

My new path shall be to do a full return to original Honeycomb 3.x and then do a factory reset and then "if" still root I can reinstall CWM recovery and reflash this working GT-7500 ICS Kang build (02/07/12)?

Starting to see the light (it is a long tunnel ha ha ha).

Thanks !
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] w2alq:
Well, along story made short . . . this procedure keep me up late last night, but no joy. I restored back to HoneyComb 3.2 and did a factory reset. Then restored my Ice Cream Sandwich above and still have 13GB.

New question is it my fault for not doing another new installation of this KANG? Did I restore my 13GB (but in HC it reported only 13GB even after a factory reset).

Looking for more ideas and yes, I used the "ds" NOT the df cmd in linux (my typo, my bad.

Missing 32GB on Galaxy Tab 10.1 w/ICS 4.0.3

Just a thought will or could I regain my missing 16GB of RAM by using the CWM Recovery to repartition the my SD (note, there is 16GB in my data partition and 13GB in my internal storage). Is this my bad and I can't add 16 + 16 = 32 (dah)?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxmeister:
Isn't the issue here likely to be that you've repartitioned your Tab with a PIT file from a 16GB Tab? No amount of factory resetting or ROM flashing will fix that - you need to partition again with the correct PIT file.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
You don't need to touch the rom or to come back to the stock rom. You have to install the stock recovery. Is the CWM recovery what prevents the factory reset to format the internal memory.

It worked for me. Find the stock recovery for your tablet, instal it through ODIN, then reboot and factory reset.

The root keeps untouched
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kalpak2021:
I have something similar going on with my tab and I can't figure out what to do. I have reported the problem in the Q&A section and it can be found here. I have tried everything I possibly could but to no avail. I hope someone can help me find a solution to this problem. It is the retail version. Here is the link to my thread.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 shows only 13gb instead of 32GB

PS: sorry for digging up such an old thread but I have been trying for quite sometime but to no avail.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Theblaze973T:
My suggestions are to ensure that you are using the correct ROMs, recovery etc. for your tab, and not for a 16GB version.

You can also use the app "Disk Usage" (with root) which will tell you a lot of information about the internal storage in a clean and simple UI.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kalpak2021:
First of all, thank you replying. And showing concern. Appreciate it.

I would request you to take a look at my thread and let me know if you can help me in anyway mate.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sxi200:
Anyone having this problem needs to re flash firmware in Odin using the correct PIT file.

Make sure you also tick 'repartition' in Odin.

[HTC EVO 3D] pezhore:
Right now I'm running Supra 1.5, but I see there's a metric crapton of roms available. Any suggestions on what roms are particularly fast, or ones that have great eye candy? Full support for hardware (WiMAX, 3D camera/screen, etc) is necessary - although I'm not sure if there are any roms out there that have that support limitation.

I've looked over the ROM list, but I haven't found a really good comparison of features, or what sets each ROM apart from the others.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i think all current ROMs (especially based off stock sense) will support WiMAX and 3D camera/screen. as the aosp roms start to be released though, there *might* be gaps with 3d camera and wimax support as those aren't open sourced in aosp.

accurate comparison lists are generally hard to find and once they're created, hard to maintain. each rom developer kind of follows their own patch and posts up whatever information they determine relevant. there really is not set list of categories or features they all agree on.

if anybody does create this type of list, i'm sure there is demand for it. the rom scene has been kind of disparate. rom manager is one of the few centralized location to find roms with some kind of congregated feedback/comment system.

the general advice given, and sometimes the best, is to try them all out yourself. being able to create a nandroid does make it easier to switch back and forth between ROMs. i personally run all stock with root, busybox and some linux dev binaries for experimenting.

most of the ROMs give a pretty decent description of their ROM in their OP including features and enhancements they have made. almost most post screenshots in their thread and you can glance thru their posts to get a general feel for feedback.

sorry there isnt a great answer and i have yet to see a guide which provides a full ROM feature comparison list. none the less, hope my opinion and feedback helps point in the right direction!

I'm running viper ROM 1.3 with silverneedle kernel and honeycomb sense 3.0 theme. Runs fast and looks really nice.

I personally think the Viper rom is one of the best... Completely opinion though. I say just check them out and see which ones you like the best. I also like BloodyBeast. I personally used to love AOSP but that was when I had an atrix with motoblur. I really do like sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] jedinegotiator:
3rded!

Supra ROM is a GREAT ROM. It is a great blend of ASOP and Sense and it also had good performance.

Other Roms I like include:

Viper ROM: Great ROM but hasnt been updated in a while

SteelROM: I just like it...

Synergy: Love it other than the fact native hotspot isnt working, also SVN is epic.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Synergy.

Free Dirk!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
In my honest and humble opinion,

Best sense ROMs: Viper and of course Supra

Best non-sense: SenselessROM 2.1 (my favorite), EVO-nonsense.

They are all good and fully functional unless stated otherwise.
[HTC EVO 3D] subtyler:
Viper with no lights kernel -- viper is super stable and works great for me. No lights is perfect because I know where all the soft buttons are and now when docked at night or watching a movie I don't have super bright lights across the bottom of the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] aagbulos:
XRON Rom has everything working and no issues. They have a really good team of devs that respond to your concerns regularly.
[HTC EVO 3D] chillfancy:
I liked Viper 1.3 stable at 1.7

Had troubles with Synergy.. force closes and invisible notification bars. Has to do with the new version being for the GB version with unreleased kernel source. No OC :(

Ran Bloody Final for a long time. Stable at 1.8

On Supra 1.5 now. Please remove TitaniumBackup from the rom!

I came across a way to add your voicemail password to the contact since the normal way is locked.

Go to the dialpad and type ##7764726

Press send

Click on SMS/MMS Settings

Go to Voicemail number

Add in a couple of pauses, your password and a # sign.

That's it.

Now heres the drawback, in your recent call list it will show the password. There is no way to stop that.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
The normal way thru your call settings menu works just fine.

I thought the the A500 was GPS enabled when not connected to data (wi-fi). Is this even possible?

If not; why would Navigation be included if u have to be in ur house to use it with a wifi connection? That just doesnt make sense to me.

Help?!
[Acer Iconia A500] ptgptg:
Not sure what you mean by GPS and wifi. My understanding is they are two separate things, but are "linked" if the software your GPS is using needs wifi to run. In other words, GPS does not need wifi to run, but certain nav programs need wifi to run. Hope that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] marcos.lennis:
That is what I mean. In order to use Nav, I need to be connected via wifi. Its not like I can take my house router with me and work, LOL.

With Google nav, you can pre download map data.

There are navigation apps and they are downloading maps on sd card (copilot live or other which can be found on the market ( sorry for my english).

Okay, we discovered that having the Webtop over HDMI breaks the OTA update.

So to update you're going to have to undo that mod, and possibly any others.

If you backed up your original files great, go restore them, clear the dalvik-cache and you're fine.

Otherwise, use the attached files and these steps to recover:

Credit: _unknown for the original posted instructions I'm using as a template

Please let me know if there are any adjustments that need to be made to the code, as I'm pulling this from memory and had stored the backups on my phone and was restoring from there.

Requirements:

Be rooted

Be able to work with adb

First, unpack the attached zip-file.

Go into the correct directory for your version.

Now run (in a terminal)

# I use /data/tmp as the storage location, you can also use /sdcard/
adb push DockService.apk /data/tmp
adb push PortalApp.apk /data/tmp
adb push DockService.odex /data/tmp
adb push PortalApp.odex /data/tmp
adb shell
# you are now in the phone shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

# you could mv these files to backups if you intend on doing the mod
# again after the update
rm /system/app/DockService.*
rm /system/app/PortalApp.*
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*DockService* /data/dalvik-cache/*PortalApp*

# move the files from /data/tmp to /system/app
mv /data/tmp/DockService.* /system/app/
mv /data/tmp/PortalApp.* /system/app/

reboot

NOTE: This zip will not in any way help you to obtain root! You must be rooted prior to attempting to apply this patch, or it will not work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kgbcapthowdy:
mv /data/tmp/PortalApp.* /system/app/

Has anyone that has updated to the newer OTA version been able to re-hack the Webtop / HDMI output using the original method?

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bock Abrams:
You rave to re-root after the update, but yeah, it's the same thing.

Haven't got that far yet, I'm just starting.

Give me a bit and I'll tell you how it went.

Update 1:

Installed the update with out a hitch, save for a line of code

"rm /data/dalvik-cache/*DockService* /data/dalvik-cache/*PortalApp*"

I had to change to

"rm /data/dalvik-cache/*.*"

The dalvik chache is rebuilt at the next reboot, so there isn't much harm wiping the whole thing.

And Yeah, i had to change that the "mv" to"cp"

Update 2:

Rooted just fine using :/showthread.php?t=1217416

Update 3:

Followed : /showthread.php?t=1199443

But as of again, I changed

"rm /data/dalvik-cache/*DockService* /data/dalvik-cache/*PortalApp*"

to

"rm /data/dalvik-cache/*.*"

and

"mv" to"cp"

Works just as well as before. Even with 9/12's update
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bock Abrams:
I had some trouble before, but It looks like I just had to re apply the hack one again. It's all good now. Dockless webtop on the latest OTA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Airwolf79:
It's not working for me for the 10/12 update. Any ideas? Do the odex files have to be renamed to .bak?
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
Yes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Airwolf79:
So what is the easiest way to go about this? Do I have to rename them before I push, or once they're installed?

Hi, I just bought myself a new galaxy tab 10.1 (i believe the p7510 model). Basically its the one thinner than the ipad. I'm switching over from an ipad and after getting lazy with that tablet, I'm kind of struggling with a few things.

First, i dislike the touchwiz UI, so that is the main reason for rooting. First I had a couple of general questions.

-I found this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171089

As i understand it i have to install the CWM rom. But it seems all the cwm roms listed for the wifi verson say they have touchwiz on it. Also, the ohter ones are starburst, bonsai, etc. What is the difference? what do i go with? What I'm looking for basically is to replace my current rom with the official google rom so i basically have a google experience tablet like those given out at IO. Also to clarify, does STOCK rom mean the rom from sansung that came with the tablet?

- If i somehow succeed in doing this rom update, how do i update my tablet once an update is out? will google basically push updates to my tab, so i can download them over wifi when i check for updates. or do i have to download a new rom and go through this process every time an update comes out.

- Once i do this rom unroot thing, i will hvae android marketplace? are there any issues generally with rom replacement?

- Lastly a general question about the android marketplace: Is there any way to differentiate tablet apps from normal apps when im browsing the store?
