[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirkoTeran:
I had those 3 problems before (all 3 solved with pershoots kernel). Solutions that worked for me before:

1. Enable/disable airplane mode.

2. Once you press the power button (to turn on the screen) wait 5-10s. Then touch the screen to unlock it. I have no idea why, but it worked for me.

3. Check what is using the battery. For me it was 2 apps that used 60% of the battery. Once uninstalled it was all OK.

I am about to try the ADW EX. Hopefully it works better.

Guess there are some problems here and there. Hopefully they are working on it.

Thanks for replying. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlewus:
I have a couple of comments. I have had an iPad2 since it was released, and I got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510UEKME) a couple of weeks ago. It is rooted to accommodate the "Hulu" Flash library but otherwise unmodified.

It seems to me that there are some interesting tradeoffs here. For what its worth, I have not experienced any of [1], [2], or [5], not even once.

[3] I find both interfaces very responsive and have no issues with either one.

[4] Consumer Reports reported (tested? not sure) battery life and got 11 hours from the iPad and 9 hours from the Tab, browsing the web (wifi). Another review, "Tablet Shootout" from the San Francisco IB Times, was based on a test with both machines playing video with wifi on, and 65% brightness. The Samsung clocked in at 6 hours compared to almost 10 hours for the iPad. This is in line with my experience on both machines. The Samsung does have more pixels to decode - 1280x800 vs iPad 1024x768 - and it takes more power to compute those 33% extra pixels. Or it might just be a code maturity / efficiency thing. But after watching an action movie on the Tab in widescreen 16:9 HD and comparing it to 4:3 letterboxed on the iPad, I was sold on the Tab, even with its shorter battery life. Then again, I don't spend much time on airplanes.

[6] This is a known problem but it still is a major annoyance. I cannot install a new program on the first try, ever. Sometimes I have to try 5 or 6 times. This does not occur with on my Droid 2 running Android 2.2 or Android 2.3. I wonder if other Honeycomb users are having this problem or if it is a Samsung thing - does anyone know?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenneth.f:
There is so much I like about the tablet compared to the Ipad. I wouldn't switch at all. I realize that there is no such thing as perfect software, and the Android ecosystem will obviously mature over time. Just hoping for some more native tablet apps (sooner rather than later) and if they could increase the battery life just a little, that would be perfect. I have not had the "install from Market" issue on my Galaxy S2 phone, so I think it is a Honeycomb issue, but not sure.

Thanks for replying.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenneth.f:
1. Tried that, didn't help.

2. Will try it. Thanks.

3. I did, and it said Google maps (wth?) and Screen. The screen is set to its default settings and I haven't used Google maps at all on the tablet. Weird. I have "use location" enabled, but I didn't think it actually had to use Google maps to work.

Much appreciated for the help, but I don't think I will be using it.

Why not just load a rooted GB or xboards GB, same thing isn't it? lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
This is for people who have been using the phone after applying the update and don't want to start from scratch again. This lets you just root the phone without needing to flash a rom and format the system.

Change Directory

Hi,

Sorry i'm new on rooting android phone.

on step 6. how i change the directory in the command prompt to go to the g2x root file i saved?

thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
That's a Command Prompt windows on your computer. The easiest way is to open the desired folder in Windows Explorer and then click on the address bar. Highlight the entire location and copy it. Then in your command prompt windows type "cd" a space, right click and paste the copied location and hit return. You will now be in the correct folder in your command prompt windows.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yogieajuz:
Thank you for quick reply
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yogieajuz:
Thanks jboxer, work like charm....

but when i did back up they said error can not back up image data ???

whats wrong???

never mind, i found out i run out of space on my sd card:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
@jboxer, I figured out the flashable zip. Just tested it on an unrooted 2.3.3 installation and it worked perfectly. I PM'd you a link to the zip. Please add it to your OP if you'd like. There's no need for me to create a separate thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Thanks to phburks for the good work in figuring out why our update zip packages were being rejected by Clockworkmod Recovery. We now have flashable zips to root the G2X (works on stock GB rom) and to unroot it. They are listed in the first post that I have edited.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17398464
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
In case anyone is wondering, these zips (both root and unroot) also work with stock Froyo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yogieajuz:
@jboxer:

I did the root from 1st link/file before you updated from phburks file.

So that still good to go or I need to do another root?

Thank much appreciated...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
The zip and jboxer's method both do the same thing so you should be good to go. The zip is just a less hassle.

jboxer and i had been trying to understand why chainsdd's su zip wouldn't flash and in the process he came came up with the adb method he posted. It was just a couple days later that we figured out this zip. I'm surprised nobody else had done it yet. Once we understood what was wrong it was a simple fix to make the zip flash properly without erroring out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenzin1:
This is great work! Now if we could only make

a zip to apply the new baseband(hint hint).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yogieajuz:
Thank you mr. phburks really appreciate
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bodey31:
How am I supposed to flash it through clockworkmod if the phone isnt flashed? I am very confused. Also, I tried to root it the way you have 9/9/2011 and the file is missing. Please help
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You have to install Clockworkmod first using NVFlash. No files are missing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
The problem, as i see it, is that none of us who are interested in figuring that out want to risk screwing up our G2X testing and troubleshooting. Lol

[T-Mobile LG G2x] GnubbyaBush:
So how do i strip bloat ware? can i run that strip bloat zip that xboarder distributed?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodles2224:
Yes you can
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you want to get future OTA or LG Updater updates you should not use the remove bloatware zip. If any original system files are changed or removed official updates will refuse to install. Instead get an app called "Bloat Freezer" from the Market. It is only 99 cents. It will freeze the apps so they don't run, without removing them. You can still get official updates with frozen apps, but not if they are removed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GnubbyaBush:
Thanks for the heads up. theirs always a catch even with stock :(. I think one guy nailed it when he said all gingerbread things really won't work until official rom comes out. Netflix doesn't work..and i heard they removed the device restriction and works on 2.3.3..but not for OTA stock. Its ehfin great on battery though and not chopped and screwed like xboarders.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Some people have been PMing me so I will address the questions here. It seems that they are downloading the flashable root zip package but then trying to install it by the outdated ADB method. I have revised the OP to be more clear about how to flash the root zip package to install it. There is no reason to use the ADB method any more and it should be considered obsolete.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
I'm trying this method since I decided to abandon CM and return to stock, but I'd still like root. So I have CWR on my phone, but now I can't get into it. Whenever I hold volume down while turning on the phone I get "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." on the screen, and nothing happens. Any idea how to get back into recovery from this point?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You need to use nvflash to properly install cwm on the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Check here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
I did that, or else I wouldn't have been able to run CM then switch back to stock. Do I have to do it again since I went back to stock?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
How did you return to stock? It sounds like whatever you did might have reflashed original recovery? KDZ method?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
After originally putting Clockwork on I backed up my phone in Clockwork, then I switched to CM, so I just restored the backup. Actually I tried it a couple times cause I was having issues, the second time I did wipe the system data and reset under Clockwork, then restored the backup.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
When you backed up and restored did you select the recovery option? If so, you restored the original recovery and need to NVFlash CWM again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
Possibly, can't say for sure. Either way, sounds like I need to use NVFlash again. Thanks for you help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but I don't think clockworkmod has the ability to flash a different recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes it does. It can back up and restore recovery. If he used backup recovery option and restored an older recovery, and he changed from ext4 from ext3 the older recovery might not be compatible. Recovery loads and runs in ram. The recovery partition is mounted when recovery is running and is flashable to a different recovery image. New image will execute the next time recovery is run.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I don't see the option to backup or restore recovery. You are talking about clockworkmod recovery, correct? Not rom manager?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I was thinking about RA recovery which we don't have on the G2X. There is an option to backup recovery.

On Clockworkmod you don't have a choice. The recovery partition is ALWAYS backed up and restored. Here is a list of files from a Clockworkmod backup. So if you have a backup with an older recovery, CWM will restore the older recovery.

.android_secure.vfat.tar

boot.img

cache.ext3.tar

data.ext3.tar

nandroid.md5

recovery.img

system.ext3.tar
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I see the recovery.img in my backups but never does the restore process say "restoring recovery.img." I'm not saying that it isn't supposed to work that way, but I thought one of the quirks with the G2X was that you have to use nvflash to flash to the recovery partition. Has that changed with the updated cwm recovery? I'm still using cwm 4.0.0.2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I may be wrong but this is what I believe based on my experience with other devices. In order to root the G2X you must install Clockworkmod. The only way to install Clockworkmod the

first

time is to use the NVFlash method. I believe, but have not tried it yet, that once Clockwordmod has been installed, newer versions of recovery can be flashed with a flashable zip in Clockworkmod itself. Once it reboots the new recovery will load. Remember, recovery is fully loaded into memory when you are in recovery. Once it is running the recovery image on the device is not touched again, unless you are flashing a new recovery.

Off the subject a bit but also important and germane to this discussion.

Also, if anyone captured the OTA from T-Mobile that will be the clue how to flash the baseband. The udpate zip for the OTA contains the commands in the updater script to flash the baseband. We need someone who copied the OTA file before they flashed it. I always do that when I get an OTA, but when the OTA came out I did not have my phone yet, plus I live in Thailand; so I doubt TMO would have sent me the OTA. (Google on the other hand sends their OTAs worldwide regardless of where a Nexus device is and what carrier it is being used on).

When an OTA is delivered it is stored in the "cache" directory. As an aside this is where Koush is putting his "fake flashed" CWM when you install one with ROM Manager. Anyway, before flashing the OTA the upate zip package was sitting in the cache directory. All someone had to do was copy it to the SD card to preserve it. Once it is flashed or the flash fails, the Android OS deletes the OTA file in the cache directory. I cannot believe nobody out there, with all the knowledgeable devs working on the G2X at the time, didn't copy the original OTA. We need that original OTA to delve further into this device, especially in regards to flashing that elusive baseband to help people fix their devices that flashed the P990 baseband to a P999 device. Hopefully, someone coughs one up soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daughterofpower:
do I need to be rooted to install clockworkmod recovery? Cos I installed it, to the best of my ability, but it does not boot up after powering off and pressing volumes + power.

I want to try it all over again, but when I do APX error does not show on the device manager. I guess I have to uninstall the drivers...??Sb pls assist.

thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
To enter recovery you only press volume down and power. Hold at least ten second until fancy LG logo appears.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daughterofpower:
OH MY GOD!! Thank you so much! How did I miss that....poring over the instructions 1million times???! Since last night.

Thanks sooo much! God bless.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Unfortunately it doesn't work on the G2X. You can flash the zip to install the updated recovery (get zip from here http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html ) and it will even reload into the updated version of cwm but its not persistent. If you completely shutdown the phone and reboot into recovery using power + volume down, it boots into whatever version of cwm was installed with nvflash. That's the only way I've seen on here to flash recovery so its persistent, and also the way to downgrade or upgrade.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
That's because Koush wrote that zip to flash recovery (look at the updater-script as I have) to the "cache" partition and he puts and update.zip on the root of the "sdcard" that fakes real recovery (or whatever recovery you have on the actual recovery partition) to load his recovery in the cache partition and then run it. He doesn't flash into actual recovery on most devices to keep them stock for OTAs etc. He does the same thing on the Nexus One. If you write a flashable zip to flash the recovery parition on the G2X I still believe it will work. Nobody has tried it to my knowlege. If you want to try it I will write the zip and let you download it. We can try to flash back to an older recovery image, boot into recovery to check it and then flash back to the current version.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Got it. I didn't really take time to look at his script very closely. If you write one I'll definitely try it. I don't have time till next week to really try writing one myself. My wife's family is in town and its been crazy around here lol. But yea I'll try one out if you write it. It would make updating recovery a little easier IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Less risky also. If you look at the original threads regarding Cyanogenmod for G2X, NVFlash and Koush's recovery "Cyanogen Steve" was arguing against NVFlash and for Koush's method based on the fact NVFlash has the potential to hard brick a device (thankfully to our knowledge it hasn't happened yet) and to stop telling people to use NVFlash frequently. I would much rather flash recovery updates via a zip then NVFlash. If it works as I believe, NVFlash would be required one time only. :-) (And for those just tuning in, I am not talking about Koush's "fake" flash method, which really isn't fake he is just putting recovery somehwere else then where it normally resides and invoking it in a non-conventional way.)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] RueTheDay:
I used this zip to root my phone. Then I used the unroot zip to unroot it because I need to install Good For Enterprise for my work email. Unfortunately it still detects root and fails. Probably because I still have /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su. How do I get rid of those files (with a read only file system now that I'm unrooted)? Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you used my unroot zip it should have deleted those files.

Boot into Clockwordmod Recovery and then connect your phone to the computer. CWM Recovery will run be seen on ADB with root permissions. Use ADEB commands to delete the two files.

Before issuing the following commands, after your phone is connected, use the menu in CWM Recovery to mount the system. If you don't mount the system you are seeing CWM's mini Android system and not the phone's. Then use the following ADB commands.

#adb shell rm /system/bin/su

#adb shell rm /system/xbin/su

Now use the CWM Recovery menu to unmount the system. Then reboot your phone.

#adb reboot

That should do the trick for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RueTheDay:
Awesome. Thank you so much. I will try this when I get home as I don't have ADB at work, but it sounds like it should do the trick.

The other thing I'm worried about is that when I was on 2.2.2 I rooted via SuperOneClick. Then I unrooted, flashed the OTA 2.3.3, and rooted using your root.zip update. I'm worried SuperOneClick may have left some crap behind in bin or xbin that Good For Enterprise may detect. Anything else I should be on the lookout for to delete when I ADB in from CWM? Busybox probably, but I worry there may be other files.

Thanks, again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
As far as I know Super One Click just pushes superuser.apk (delete this if still in your system), su in system/bin and a logical link to su in /system/xbin. I think it might also install busybox but not sure. Busybox should not be a problem because it is a general utility that many programs use. The other problem is that the data files for superuser will be left behind in your /data subdirectory, but that probably is not a problem. AFter doing all the above and you still cannot install the program you want, figure out which data subdirectly belongs to superuser.apk and delete it.
