[Sony Tablet S] jhepoy:
so far, the only thing i could do with this device is ADB.. i can adb with it, execute commands, but i have no idea where to start.. i'm afraid to try the Gingerbread methods for root as i might brick it (although i can easily ship it back to Sony and have it fixed)... if some dev can point me where to start (fail safe).. i'm willing to try..
[Sony Tablet S] yifanlu:
Is there even a "system.img" dump for this device? Is there recovery mode? Fastboot mode? Does it have a bootloader similar to the Xperia phones? An answer to any one of these could help in making a root. Also, I think there isn't many devs working on this because a device costs too much and devs are usually not loaded with cash. If only sony would give them away like they did with the Plays...
[Sony Tablet S] PeterPan6754:
hello

have the sony tablet S ,too

hope it comes root and more (custom kernel + ROMs)

[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
maybe he means cant turn on. no download mode, no emergency mode no nothing like what happened to me :P
[GT540 Optimus General] Danzano:
take the case apart inside where the sd connects to the main board there are two batteries remove the board holding them leave the whole thing disassembled over night

next put it back together and plug in usb

leaving it over night has erased all its memory and the computer can see a device doesnt know what it is but its there

now reboot (pul out usb and bat)

plug back in as soon as you see it reading the device quickly catch it and run the kdz

after kdz is complete there is a boot bug (atleast when i went through this) so no screen untill completly loaded

once this is done look at fishears tutorial on how to fix the boot bug issue

hope this helps it worked for me and if its bricked what have you got to loose atleast thats what i had to keep in mind as i ripped my mates apart

also good chance to clean contacts etc

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Hey folks. I just did an upgrade on my Rogers Captivate and now I have Gingerbread up and running. Problem is, I have no data connection. The switch is on, and I'm not getting any sort of error except from my apps, which are failing to connect.

I did everything seemingly by the book. I flashed to stock using AIO Toolkit from Firefly. Then I connected to Kies and upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2, and again to 2.3.

I'm wondering if something got left out during the upgrade due to the custom ROM that was previously installed, causing the modem to fail in installing?

Well, that gives me a data indicator in my top bar, but now my everything is crashing when I try to open it. The browser does look like it's trying to load the page, but then it crashes immediately.

This does seem like progress though. Thanks for the tip.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Think you need to flash to stock kf1 and try again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
JavaMac,

Sounds like u did everything right...going back to stock 2.1, then kies up to 2.2, then kies up to 2.3.

Dang, u may just have to retry the same process. Just remove your sim card and external sd card before doing it again. Maybe that will work for ya. And u should not flash with the micro usb plugged into ur phone, that is, whenever u see the phone make it to the big S screen u can go ahead and unplug it. I've read somewhere along the way where leaving the micro usb/usb cable plugged in through the whole flash would cause u not to have signal. Hope some of this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
I'll give a reflash a try, from 2.1, right? I didn't have my sim removed the first go, but I did remove the USB. I'll be back to report in this post how it goes.

As a report of what happened in a recap:

I was running Firefly 3.0 on my Rogers Captivate. I flashed to stock 2.1 using AIO Toolkit, then upgraded to 2.2 in Kies, and again to 2.3. Although the voice/text access is working fine, I'm not able to connect via my Rogers network, or wifi at home. Any app that requires net access crashes upon attempting to connect (A game I play worked until I try to submit a score, Firefox crashes immediately on looking for a site).

I went into my network settings and reset the access point names to default and selected "Rogers", and rebooted. Now I have an indicator for my data, but no joy in connecting anything.

Again, I'm going to give this another try from scratch, hopefully with better results. I'll update here shortly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Reflash Attempt, No Function At All

Okay, so I flashed back to 2.1 using AIO Toolkit, and now I have no access to anything other than the homescreen. No menu access, no service, no nothing.

I can't get into the settings to set USB Debugging. Without that, Odin won't see the phone. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do from this point.

Also, in saying that I follow the most recent instructions posted in the official threads, I seem to encounter trouble with flashing every time. I'm wondering if I'm missing one fundamental step or if my phone specifically has some outstanding problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Odin will see your phone when you get into download mode, even if you do not have debuggin on.

Since you are with Rogers... You need to use this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979133
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
K, so I attempted, and Odin did pick up on the phone, but the flash failed this time. I downloaded the Odin One-Click from the previous link, which came with a ton of info on an alternative method, but right now it's not doing anything. It's saying "Do not turn off target", and it's been stuck there for a long while. The line above that is "Set Pit file". I know it says be patient, but this is a bit too long with no activity at all.

Update: I've got it to flash with the One-Click. Just reading the next steps now to see about getting this online again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Data/Wifi completely gone.

I think I've concluded that the order in which I attempted these flashes has left some incompatible problem behind.

I was running Firefly and flashed to stock. Then I used Kies to move to 2.2, and 2.3.

Is it possible that I'm now using a non-compatible modem, or kernel that failed to update, or something?

If so, I see there are a lot of unused portions in Odin that I can only assumed are available for custom installations of various components. Should I be looking to use these?

Thanks for any assistance with all this. I appreciate the great knowledge base this forum has.

Alright! I've got my data back, and it seems to work at least for connectivity purposes. Now I have the apps crashing still, no matter which of the roms or methods I go with.

So thanks for the APN info, it was the issue, but now there's something else. ~LOL~

Again, it crashes a ton of apps on boot, and I can only browse using the original browser. Firefox crashes on loading update files. Also, Kies picks up on the phone, but doesn't show firmware or go through with any upgrade when prompted.

[Focus General] Zhariak:
Just curious, how many of you have had your camera button start to malfunction?

After 1-2 months of use, it got to the point where I could no longer focus on an image before snapping a picture... I was stuck taking "Quick pics", if you know what I mean...

Fortunately, with Mango, I can tap the screen to focus now, but I was just curious if this is happening to many?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
A poll might help you better.
[Focus General] adiliyo:
mine works fine, but i tend to use the tap to shoot more than the button just because i can tell it what to focus on.
[Focus General] fluffedup2:
Same issue

Yes - I have this issue on mine, too. I didn't see it until I was running the Mango pre-release software in July/August, so I assumed it was related to something in the software. The official Mango update didn't make it any better, so I'm starting to think the pre-release software correlation was just coincidental and it's actually something mechanical with the button/switch.
[Focus General] steve10:
Mine also has started behaving this way, for almost a year now. It's not consistent either. Sometimes it works perfectly, and sometimes I have to dig my fingernail into the button just to get the camera app to even open.

I have the same issue. My focus is 18 months old though, so I thought it was just worn out. It used to work with mango. I am now running a custom tango rom, so maybe it is software related...

Is there anyway to merge the two conversations together?

Samsung's usual mistake. Adding in too much :)

Putting in too many products at once makes consumers think that the company will not remain committed to the device and future updates might be reserved for newer devices which might ome out later.

Also, this, as it comes out while Kindle Fire came out, and the SGS2 came out for the US market, and with growing rumours about iPhone 5......... This probably was not the time to release a half-hearted attempt to beat out the iPod range.
