Does it then proceed to reboot? If it does, mine has just this morning started doing the exact same thing. I think it went into Black Screen overnight as the battery was drained. Recharged and now I can't boot at all. The squashed CM logo comes up and freezes after a few seconds and then the system reboots (which feels like it may be a RAM/eMMC issue or maybe the kernel got corrupted somehow).

Here's weird thing: if the charger is plugged in the system goes to sleep instead of boot-looping.

I was able to both wipe and format cache. But wiping Dalvik causes the message and then a reboot.

My next steps are reflash dirty and if that fails, reflash clean. And if that fails, ODIN. :(

Using CoM's latest CM10.2 on P7310.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Try to use a different recovery. I use TWRP 2.6.3.0 without any problems.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] boscorama:
Thx for the suggestion. But I think I have bigger issues.

Using 'adb shell' I've been able to determine that my /data/system directory is corrupt (invoking ls /data/system causes a panic/reboot). There's some other seriously bad thing happening in /data because writing a backup file to /sdcard (aka /data/media) also causes a panic/reboot.

I'm left with the option of formatting /data and a full reinstall because doing a data wipe won't fix the filesystem. I guess I could try a fsck but that may do more damage than good. :(

Anybody have a list of what's supposed to be in /data/system ? If I do fsck it, then I want to make sure it doesn't leave me in futile state.

If the fsck and format don't help, possibly some ODIN magic will fix it. *shudder*
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
/data/system > dropbox, sync, database, accounts... If your doing a full wipe, better format system, cache, and data, then flash your rom.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] boscorama:
Yep. Just as I thought. Some pretty important stuff.

e2fsck fixed a bunch of stuff but it left some files in lost+found that scare me. Something that looks like the entire permissions system xml file for all apk's. :( Another one that looks like a user management xml file.

It also did a bunch of cloning of multiple linked blocks and inodes. Scary stuff in what has turned out to be a major system directory! Who knows what's been whacked with random crud?

Oh well. Looks like it's scrubbing time. Thx for your input.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
When you invoke the command e2fsck, files that are partially recovered are stored in the lost+found directory. That is if the original files cannot be reconstructed. Normally, you run fsck unmounted.

I think part of your system is corrupted. Better do a fresh install on a completely wiped device.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] boscorama:
I did. And it did. And that was what scared me because they all looked like parts of important files. And having some blocks multiply-linked up to 5(!) times was more than I would like to have happen.

Yep. /data was not in good shape.

And that's what I'm already doing.

Let's just hope this wasn't all because of a sneaky hardware error. :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
ODIN, would be your last resort if wiping all via recovery or updater-script does not solve your problem.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] boscorama:
Back in operation

OK. Everything seems to be running fine now. It sure looked strange to see absolutely nothing but 'lost+found' in the /system or /data filesystems. :silly:

Short of doing an extensive read-write test on /data I won't know if there is a hardware issue still lurking out there. Only time will tell.

Hello guys, im new in here but i mostly surfing xda for new information. And yesterday i have updated custom rom omni, and after that my game like clashofclans and line cookie run just got lagged. Can you help me thanks :D

P.s: on stock rom ics that games really smooth.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
If you're onto gaming just use the stock ICS. Post ICS roms (w/c are all custom ROMS based on JB and KitKat sources) tend to lag when playing games and HD videos. I've tried most of them but reverted to stock ICS because tab is generally used for games.

Omni and Nameless ROM (KitKat based) are not yet stable. Why not try CM 10.1.3 or 10.2 and see if your mileage is better with them? But still I would prefer stock ICS. Use this ROM by [MENTION=4800636]omarainea[/MENTION].

P7300 CM 10.2 doesn't charge while off

Hello,

My P7300 tab has been discharged fully, and doesn't charge while off - I've tried a number of chargers and cables, but still nothing. It just stays dead.

I'm running TWRP 2.6.3.0 and CM 10.2 from this thread.

I haven't changed kernels, so I use whatever came with the ROM.

Can anyone help me revive the device?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] deliveryorder:
so you prefer stock ICS than Omni and Nameless ROM ? ok ill do it right now, thank you for your advice :good::angel:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Depends on preference and purpose. But, yes, I prefer stock ICS for reasons I've mentioned previously.

Single Name and address field after ICS upgrade

After upgrading to ICS,

I was disappointed to see that contact name field is just a single entry. I want the first name and last name field at least when adding or editing contacts. The address field is also just a single box. It seems honeycomb is has more entries for name and address, even though ICS has added support for social network.

Is there any get back old honeycomb field entries?

My search in xda leads me to this thread:

[CSC features] * 10 Jan'13 * Enable secret CSC features

Rooted my Tab and found the feature.xml at sdcard/system/csc/ folder. Tried some of the code but it has no efffect. Like the silent button for the camera. I'm not sure if modifying feature.xml applies to our Tab 8.9. Also, the topic doesn't say which code does restore the multiple fields for name and address. Any ideas?

My Tab is a Hong Kong model GT-P7300 (P7300XXLQ6)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
I think it is related to the original ROM, I believe this feature is not working on our tab in custom ROMs, and even if that isn't entirely true,

this problem is related to sources for sure.

I'm using the same firmware as yours on my P7300, and it has contact's first name and last name and other extra fields,

you just need to press the arrow beside the name filed (on the right side), like explained in screenshots:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jcdvo:
Thanks for your quick reply, omarainea, but that's the problem I don't have the button to expand the fields even more.

Sorry can't post screenshot, I'm new here

Could I be the only one (or a few who didn't notice:rolleyes:). I already did a factory reset and the upgrade was done thru wifi.:confused:

Any more suggestions:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
Hmm so you don't have recovery or root?? if that is the case and you don't want them, I think you should flash the same firmware through odin

http://d-h.st/bzQ

although if you have recovery installed, I suggest you should use my ROM,

it has lots of features and I'm pretty sure that arrow would show up if you use it

good luck;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jcdvo:
Yup, I rooted my Tab, Just to tinker the feature.xml, hoping it will show the "arrow". I used Odin to flash ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar from this topic. and then use root.zip by nirogu325. When you say recovery, what do you mean? I'm still new at this. I took me days browsing thru xda looking for answers.

Yup, the last solution is to flash stock rom again. Care to tell what "lots of features" ;) in your rom from the one normally provided by Samsung. (File name is "sammoblie" so I guess this is legit from Samsung). Thanks again. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
Oh no, this link I provided is a link for stock samsung firmware without any editing and can only be flashed through odin,

my ROM is here:

[ROM][ICS][Stock-Based][P7300/P7310][XXLQJ][Deodexed] EXTRA Is Released!! [18/3/2014]

and by recovery I mean ClockworkMod Recovery, so you do have a recovery, then you can flash my ROM:)

and by the way, if you have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 installed, I suggest that you update it to v6.0.2.7,

just flash this ClockworkMod_Recovery_6.0.2.7_GT-P7300.zip through ClockworkMod.

I flashed a custom rom Ultra in my 8.9 but prior to that I also flashed Nameless and Omni Rom. I did a factory reset (/data, /cache and dalvik) before flashing the rom. upon rebooting I noticed that I have nested directories. Seems like all of my folders were never deleted. Is there a way that I could delete all of it? I might have a problem with it in the future. Thanks is advance :)

BTW, this is the first device I've rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Flash stock recovery and do a factory reset in it. It will wipe everything (wipe the contents of the sdcard as well) and restore to factory default provided that the installed ROM is the stock.

Voice calling with i957 turned p7320

Hi everyone,

Once I hard bricked my i957 with the wrong version of CWM it could only be resurrected as a P7320. I have no complaints about this as there is now a little bit more ram than before.

I then proceed to flash cm-10-20131222-UNOFFICIAL and noticed that my data speeds were horrible without WiFi. A little research and I learned that I had the incorrect modem as the P7320 ROM came from Austria?

Never the less, I pulled the correct modem out of a stock i957r recovery and all was well and good.

Not just good but really awesome as I was now able to make GSM calls with my 8.9 and the bluetooth worked too. I tried everything and all aspects of calling with bluetooth worked 100%. For about an hour.

After an hour I can no longer receive calls but sending calls and bluetooth still work perfectly.

Any ideas on what may be causing this?

I can't figure out why it would work for an hour and quit. Am I paranoid in imagining that Rogers is specifically blocking incoming calls to the tablet? The SIM works fine in other phones.

Can anyone get the latest google maps to run? As soon as I zoom in it crashes. Only started this from ver 9, I think.

Good news the latest 5.0.1 fixed the Gmail issue on my Tab, I'm completely stock 4.0.4 so I would assume that would have been the problem. glad they fixed it though as I use my Tab in portrait most of the time.

As for the Maps I'm only on 8.4.1 so it's working fine for me, we on stock havent been given the 9.x version :(

Hallo everybody, I have a little problem with my gt-p7310, regarding charging in car or generally by USB. It isn´t working. I´m reading this forum for a few days and I found out a lot of interesting thing but the problem is elsewhere. I know that I need root and allowed charging via USB etc, bud here is it. I have problem with my internal SD Card, so I can´t do root. I can´t do nothing except "flash". And also flash is limited, because I have locked bootloader, which I can´t unlock because of SD Card. If is bootloader locked, the "CWM way" is also out. Ok so when i´m in recorery mode and I tap on "apply update from external storage" it wright to me "E: unknown volume for path [/sdcard]"... and this is main problem. The best way to solute this problem is explain here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32474797&postcount=249 It follows that when I flash back my device to firmware "UELA3" (honeycomb), the problem would be soluted, but I can´t find this firmware for 7310 in official "tar" here, because all links are on hotlife and no function. Can anyone help me please? :angel:

Flash using USB and TWRP?

So I decided to play around with the relatively new ROM's baked for the tablet, managed to flash one that uses F2FS. I had problems with the storage so I decided to flash an EXT4 based custom ROM over it immediately and cleaned everything, internal storage included. So now, I can't get past the Samsung logo. I can, however, access Download and Recovery modes. Here's where my problems lie:

- I lost my official wire so my pc cannot detect the tablet = cannot use Odin or sideload anything with ADB AFAIK

- I erased my internal storage, I have nothing inside the tablet

- Recovery mode is TWRP 2.7.1.0 but the version I have does not seem to have USB-OTG support yet? ie there's no USB-OTG to tick under Mount

What can I do? Thanks.

Battery

Hello,

I've installed TWRP2710 and aosp-5.1.1-p5wifi-20150513. Ofcourse I did something wrong and I installed the ROM when battery wasn't full. So now the OS and TWRP shows different precentages for battery and it shuts down. I've red from forum, that I must drain and charge the battery at TWRP. So I drained it (display 100%) and now charging (display 10%). I'd like to see what is the current charge rate / battery level.

I tried in TWRP terminal:

- dumpsys (not found)

- tried to find some kind of path for "cat" command to display the status (ie. cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_attr_text)

- find | grep batt (nothing)

- find | grep current (nothing)

- find | grep char (nothing)

Hopefully someone will see this and provide some guidance to this old geezer.

Since my last post here, I upgraded further to cm 4.3.1 and twrp recovery. Things were ok for a good while, but just recently the old tab 8.9 gt-p7310 wifi started having problems. I'm not looking to correct the problems. I just want to restore back to samsung stock ICS. I've done some research, but refer to the title of this post. LOL!

I have what I believe is a full nandroid backup done with clockworkmod of the ICS that samsung updated me to before they abandoned the tab 8.9. I see that I can't restore that with twrp, so I guess I'd have to switch back to clockworkmod recovery to restore it. correct? (if so, how do I do that, again, see the post title) LOL! or, can I download from interweb, a stock ICS and install that? Seems the download links for stock ICS are sketchy, avast AV detects a threat. I do have, and have used odin, and I can figure out how to use it again.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Drew
