Can't format /data

Guys,

I am trying to install AOKP ICS rom and CWM won't format /data (so won't do a wipe!). It just reboots everytime it hits /data (whether you try through advanced menu or main).

Have tried reinstalling CWM, flashing a stock ROM through ODIN and reinstalling AOKP but still CWM cannot do a data wipe!

I looks like I have corrupted /data badly but cannot figure out how to overwrite/restore (or maybe CWM just can't find it?)

I thought the tabs were practically unbrickable so must be someone out there with pointer?

cheers all.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
I think your best bet is ODIN and start fresh. After ODINing, if you see a red error in Stock Recovery, it means you have to wipe with that Recovery (that particular wipe also wipes all your SD contents unlike CWM's). Good luck!

Sent from my GT-P7310
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] JeffSmith215:
Fixed - needed a repartition

Thanks for the advice. ODIN was the answer but the key was not just a basic reflash but also to repartition the device. Had to use a stock (3.2) rom from samsung but also the .pit file floating around here somewhere (p5.pit) to reflash the partitions..

Back up and running again..

cheers

i just did a nandroid flashed something then wanted to restore and now im getting an error whilst restoring the data partition....md5sum checks out fine but something went wrong. the tab still boots but only half my apps get restored :(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] stavro:
had cmr v5.5.0.4 on my p7300 (rooted stock 3.2)

nandroid backup never worked for me.

there wa no error message on generating the backup

but restore didnt work because of missing md5 file.

found a way to generate the md5 afterwards but still not able to retore the full backup. boot and system worked but not the data part :(

any ideas what i did wrong ?

ps: tried to overclock with setcpu and motley kernel.

performance was great but after a while it was extremely unstable.

i end up with boot hangs and later with bootloop.

since nandro backup didnt work i hat to complete go back to stockrom(+recovery) over odin.

now device is stable again.

One question...

I don't have any root on my P7310 tablet yet. So I wonder whether it is enough that I just flash ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with Odin, as described at first procedure here, and then I already have rooted tablet?

Or do I have first root tablet according to procedure on below link?

Flashing does not require root. Recovery is independent of the OS which root directly affects. Go ahead and flash away.

I was just wondering , what does the day/factory wipe actually remove? I am sure I have used it in the process of installing roms but there is still old content in /sdcard/.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] subtil123:
Hi All,

I was wondering similar.

In fact the wipe factory/data don't remove the the folder and files inside from the old ROM.

For example on previous ROM I created folders with files inside, or the folder of program installed are still existing on the new ROM.

How can we clear all for a fresh install ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
If you created those folders inside /system, then I guess you'd have to clean/format the /system partition in "mounts and storage" before flashing a new ROM.

Bricked Tab 8.9

Okay, so I was not paying attention and I tried applying the Stock 10.1 back to my 8.9, imagine that, it will not "boot". I get the splash screen but thats it. I can get into download, but when I run ODIN, all I get is the below and it hangs there.

Hello there

Just updated my newly P7310 to LA3 firmware via KIES a few minutes ago.

Flashed the recovery, but as soon as I enter the recovery mode - the whole screen begins to scroll (?) very fast...

Any idea?

Kind regards

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Have you tried redownloading and reflashing? Another alternative would be upgrading to v.6.0.0.0 here.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] astuermer:
Already tried that...

I flashed CWM6, then CWM5 and last the stock recovery back.

Now the stock one's rolling too :(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Something went bad in there. Perhaps a bad flash started all this. I suggest ODIN when things like that happen...although be sure to have backed up your apps with Titanium Backup or equivalent. Go to the guide in my signature, download the Toolkit. It has everything you need (except the LA3 ODIN image which is here <look for P7310UELA3). Repartition with the PIT file included in the toolkit.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] astuermer:
Uh, strange.

Tried CWM5 now by ODIN - works.

But as soon as I flash CWM5 or CWM6 directly in recovery, screen rolls...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
That's uh...awkward. I don't know if you need to be in CWM6 to use JB since I'm using AOKP. I think not but I could be wrong.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Use the alternate versions that I posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21194554&postcount=2

CWM v5.5.0.4 - Failed Nandroid Backup

I could use some advice/help here ...

I have a P7300 with CWM v5.5.0.4 flashed and have been performing Nandroid backup/restores quite happily trying out various ROM versions. My last backup was approx 4 weeks ago. I went to perform a new backup today and the CWM displays "backing up boot, recovery & system" and then very quickly I get the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9" logo in the center of the screen and it jumps back to the CWM main recovery menu.

No Backup is performed and no directory is created with the date/timestamp in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory.

I tried re-flashing the CWM v5.5.0.4 zip but get the same results - I checked free space on the /sdcard partition and I have over 5GB of free space.

Any ideas/thoughts ?

Many thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] astuermer:
Seems, the rolling screen with standard CWM6 appears only when using UELA3 firmware.

If I flash UEKJ5 via ODIN and then standard CWM6, everything's OK.

But as soon as I flash UELA3 via KIES or ODIN - rolling screen and only alternate version helps.

Does anyone know what this rolling screen means? Why does it appear?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nexus_g:
Hi, like to know what is the different between CMW 6.0.0.8 between the original and alternate one. What kernel is the original uses and what kernel is the alternate one uses and why are they different. Could somebody provide info for us. Just to make sure we are not installing the ICS kernel which leads to dead brick. BTW, after flashing 6.0.0.8 it shows CWM 6.0.1.0. Is this normal? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
Is that the case for 6.0.0.8 or 6.0.0.8_alternate? Or both?

Kallt_kaffe commented on 6.0.0.8_alternate when he released it on July 25, by saying it used the same kernel as 5.5.0.4. He made the alternate because several people had display issues with the 6.0.0.8. I don't know what kernel is in 6.0.0.8 - but kk has confirmed repeatedly only 6.0.1.2 is problematic
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nexus_g:
I had intalled CWM 6.0.0.8 and it says 6.0.1.0. Haven't tried the alternate one. Maybe somebody who has installed the alternate one can tell us. Hopefully is not the bad kernel cause most of us using it now. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chriscsh:
i have use the cwm 6.0.1.0 before, for some reason i want flash back to 6.0.0.8

but the question is after flash the zip original or alternate

the recovery still show it is 6.0.1.0??

i try flash back to 5.5.0.4 then flash the 6.0.0.8, still have same result :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
It's an error in the file name... Kallt_kaffe has pretty much said (in recent 3-4 days) that when he compiled that CWM (in July), he thought it was (still) 6.0.0.8 so that's what the file name is. In reality, the CWM sources had incremented to 6.0.1.0, so that's what you see on screen in the CWM UI. I guess that this means it really is 6.0.1.0, but its been known here as 6.0.0.8 for 6-7 weeks, so people continue to call it that

CWM5 to CWM6 migration problem

(maybe this topic has already been reviewed in this thread, if yes, just give me the post number I can refer to)

Hello,

I have been using CWM5 so far with no problem. It gives me clean, heavy (1.2Gb or so) folders that I even had the chance to use to restore my tab8.9 once !

I installed the new CWM6.0.1 yesterday and did a nandroid backup.

It took quite a "normal" time to complete (maybe 10mn or so)

Out of curiosity, I looked into the folder that has been created : all files are there, but total weight is a mere 16Mb !!

More over, ***.ext.tar files are now ***.ext.dup files ....

I tried out a second time .... same issue.

Has there been any change in the CWM algorithm that may explain this or do I really have a problem with my CWM6 Nandroid backups ?

Thanks.

[EDIT] Pls disregard this post : I have found the answer... since CWM6, backups are now incremental !!!

Hi All,

I hope you can help me. I followed the guide on flashing the recovery on page 1. However, when I booted my device the recovery version hadn't changed to 5.5.0.4. I then (very wisely) decided to uninstall the version I currently have through apps in Settings and then decided (again very wisely) to boot into recovery and run the zip file again. Well, my tab now won't start at all.

Is there a way I can force restart? I keep pressing the power button but nothing happens.

Is my tab bricked now?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi! I just flashed a ROM to my tab and I seem to be having problems booting it. I don't think this is specific to the ROM (because the others got it working and this is my 1st time flashing a ROM to the tab). Anyway, when I turn it on after flashing using the CWM app (did not go to recovery but started the process from the app), the device name just pops up then the screen just "turns off" again. The same thing happened yesterday when I backed the official ROM. Any help will be much appreciated.

Stuck in Download Mode

Folks,

Having a Samsung G tab 8.9--wi fi model.

Was trying to clean up and upgrade my ROM and have run into problems.

I'm using ODIN to root and install ROM..

The ODIN operation appears to be successful:

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> Completed..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

<ID:0/004> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> Added!!

However, my tablet won't reboot...that is to say, it will reboot after the ODIN operation but it boots back into download mode.

I've used...Stock Recovery, CWM Recovery and most recently TWRP Recovery....

Each time the operation is successful, but the tablet won't reboot into the system.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance !
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pwannell:
Thank you for this thread and the .tar files. I'm having difficulty with my tab that appears to never want to boot. The only recovery I can use it the TWRP supplied in last few posts. If I try CWM it just goes to a black screen. If I try a custom Rom or stock rom, re-partition with a pit file 614 add the correct boot loader etc etc, the only thing I can get is the SamsungGalaxyTab8.9 boot logo hanging.

When in TWRP it is constantly saying error E: unable to mount /data etc etc. Is there any possible thing that I can do to resolve this. Thank you.

The only other way I know is to flash it through Mobile ODIN but our device p7300 or p7310 is not supported

I'm currently running Liquid Smooth 3.0 and losing battery life considerably. If I flashed the latest radios... could this be the reason I'm losing battery life so quickly?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grnlantern79:
Wow where to start, depending on your phone settings after you flashed your new ROM could be a direct drain I won't get into that since i don't run your Rom on my phone, could be kernel settings again don't know the kernel used or settings on kernel. They made a thread that reads like a book on battery drain so needless to say there are many factors. Suggest you hit up liquid users in the Rom thread and ask direct questions about settings. Signal strength can play a pretty big factor in battery drain, I get about -84 at my house and it drains at normalish rate but at work I get -100 and get about 4 hours less battery. Always remember every phone is different what works great for mine may drain yours.

Since flashing 7.1 my sound goes in/out. Sometimes it's all audio, or sometimes just certain things. Right now I get audio in apps and when changing the ring tone volume, but when selecting a ring tone or notification tone, I don't hear anything. Sometimes the dialing noise works, sometimes it's doesn't. Rebooting and/or change my profile doesn't help. I tried changing the overrides in the profile settings and that didn't do anything either.

Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
[EVO 4G General] Tripp-phpBB:
So this only started happened after you flashed CM7? I had a somewhat similar problem because I replaced the back assembly on my phone and replaced the speaker in the process as the old was blown. Apparently, a screw had attached itself to the speaker and was keeping it from seating correct and causing audio to go in it out. In point, it could be a hardware problem and something is wrong with your speaker. Does head phones work, or the actual ear piece?
[EVO 4G General] GreyhoundX:
The speaker works because my phone rings when someone calls me, but sometimes the notification sound doesn't work when I get a text message. At this moment I still can't hear ring tones when I select them in the Sound settings, but it works when I get an incoming call. I know the speaker works fine. Phone calls work normally and if I play a Youtube video I get normal audio (but that didn't work this morning). It definitely seems like a software issue.

My phone was on unrooted Sense before 7.1 so that's all I have to compare it to, but everything worked fine then.
[EVO 4G General] GreyhoundX:
I found out if I switch from Default to Home profile, everything works again, but I can't figure out what in the Default profile is stopping the noise. I've checked everything 10x over.
