[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
I just want to ask: Can we flash this on other 8.9s from other regions (namely, an Asian model)?

I'm used to how it is in Maemo where the only differences between firmwares is localization and some preinstalled programs.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] alterbridge86:
Yes you could flash it onto another 8.9 as well, although it should be a P7310 (Wifi only). Just like Maemo, the only differences between regions are localizations and pre-installed apps.

This stock image would not support 3G functionality however, so it would be a bad idea to install it on a P7300.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
That's great. Going to flash Clockwork and this once I pick up my P7310 on Tuesday.

Which reminds me - how are Samsung kernels built? I heard that they need to use an initrd (or can the modules be compiled straight into the kernel? or is there a kernel size limitation, which is why an initrd is needed?)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
I am truly grateful for this as I rooted and debloated my Tab the very first day lol. This is a great step!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sanjmur:
Just flashed my tab with the ROM, works great! Originally had asian ROM on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Crunch140:
Thank you very much! I needed some of the stock original loadable modules after some prior tweaks :).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mramirezusa:
Thanks for the good work!

I was checking the system script used, and I was wondering if this CWM preserve the file/folder permissions as out of the box state or is just 7777 state?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] alterbridge86:
Permissions should be out of the box state...the system image was taken from my stock tab directly, and the extract script should leave all permissions in tact. :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] masterludo:
Hey alterbridge86, it's great to hear you have a GT 8.9 now, that's good news for us :)

Quick question, how did you dump the ROM and the recovery? I have a GT 8.9 3G from Orange France and I'd like to dump everything before installing CWM to be able to restore to stock if needed.

Thanks! And again, great work! :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] alterbridge86:
I ended up dumping it using the CWM I posted in the other thread. The new clockworkmod stores its backups in .tar format, so it makes it really easy to manipulate. Simply create a backup, then if you're feeling adventurous, you can take this flashable zip, replace system.tar and boot.img with the ones created by your backup. The stock recovery is same on all devices, so you can leave the one that is in this package and itwill work for you :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] masterludo:
Sounds good, thanks :) I'll give it a try when I have a little more time to play :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shatty:
Hey guys, i did something really stupid today to my 8.9 p7310...I installed that Asia update to it and it placed the tab into a loop and crashes in the settings app when it first starts up. Cant access SD card to install this firmware. I need the Odin firmware to put back to stock I think. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
When you installed the Asian firmware at ODIN, did you remember putting the CSC, PIT, BOOTLOADER to their corresponding places along with the biggest file being at PDA? If you just used the PDA file and not the other files...there's your issue. Once you successfully ODIN, flash this specific CWM Recovery and then you can either choose Stock (this thread) or the Overcome ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shatty:
Yea just did the pda. The instructions only said the pda. Doesnt matter anyway i am back to stock :) used adb to load the stock zip to sdcard and loaded
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Good to know you made it. The same happened to another user. Those instructions aren't correct.

Help getting China based GT-7310 to US stock

Hello,

I recently bought a GT-7310 in China, and want to get this to stock US using your method. I had a question on step #2.

2) Put the file on your internal storage.

How do I get the file to the internal storage and where is that location? I don't see an /SDCARD folder anywhere when browsing the tab in Windows 7. I have the latest USB drivers installed. I tried to push the file to /SDCARD using ADB but Android SDK tools doesn't recognize my tab. Are there any other ways to get the file to internal storage?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] alterbridge86:
When you plug in the tab, it connects via MTP to Windows. Then you can only get to the internal storage, just drop it in there. You'll see all the default folders (music, videos, etc.) so you'll know your in the right place.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] zinzino:
Thank you. I got the file to SD Card, went into recovery, executed the wipe data/factory reset option. After the wipe data/factory reset is complete, I selected the option "apply update from /sdcard". I selected that and I get the following error:

E:error opening /data/media: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] alterbridge86:
You need to use CWM recovery, not the stock recovery.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WillRA:
Hi,

I am admittedly new to this but have trawled the net for two days trying to find a solution to this problem. I've only had my GS2 for a month or so and it's my first Android phone.

Anyway - About Phone:

Samsung Galaxy S2 - Model GT-I9100 (UK)

Android v 2.3.5 (Upgraded by me)

Baseband - I9100xxki3

Kernel - 2.6.35.7-i9100xxki4-CL611039 se.infra@sep62 #2

Build - Gingerbread.XXKI3

I also have a 32gb external SD Card

So - got phone rooted, that was easy, using Odin. I also have the necessary files to get me back to Stock 2.3.5 via Odin as and when phone bricks (which it keeps doing, as I'll explain).

So - long and short, installed CWM and ROM Manager. First thing I noticed when trying to flash recovery with Clockwork was that it wouldn't stick, so I can't upgrade to CyanogenMod or any other modified ROM using ROM Manager. This is to do with signatures not being accepted as a result of the 3e stock recovery. i've read all around this and tried to find a replacement for the S2 to no avail, if someone can point me in the direction of that then much appreciated.

I can boot into Clockwork recovery using either of two methods:

1) The three button press on boot takes me straight there so it would appear that the ROM is correctly flashed

2) If I choose the "boot into Clockwork Recovery" method direct from CWM rather than ROM Manager that works fine too. SO - no problem, you might think.

I am under the impression that as long as you can get into Clockwork recovery then you should be able to flash a modified ROM by factory reset and then installing from .zip file on root of SD Card (internal, not external).

Anyway, I've tried Cyanogen, Oxygen, Cognition, Sensation and Villain. On every single one the same thing happens, all looks like it's going to plan and then phone either goes into endless reboot cycle or hangs on the startup screen.

Can anyone provide any advice as to where I go from here, I am getting very frustrated!

Cheers

Will

I prefer the power widgets at the top of the pull down like in ASOP/CM7. Is it possible to have that instead of quick settings in the new OTA sense ROMs?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn12350:
I'm sure its possible. I have always preferred the power control widgets over the quick settings. It looks so much better.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabid Roy:
I seem to remember Skyraider had them with Sense. Almost like he was just using the stock android pull down... No sense bar at the bottom, etc. I'm surprised no one has looked into getting this working for the new ota. I guess I'll have to take myself to school!

[HTC EVO 3D] Shady Pete:
Hey All,

I have 2 questions:

1. I'm looking to keep my phone pretty stock, but I would like to flash a custom kernel so that I can reduce processor clock speed to increase battery life. What is your favorite kernel? Which one do you think improves battery life the most or is this totally based on my setcpu settings? Overclocking would be cool but its not that important to me.

2. Using HTC's unlock method (I have to because I have hboot 1.5), do I have to push the SU app from my PC or can I just download it from the market? Same question with Clockwork mod. I would prefer these to show up in my market downloads, so I would prefer not to push them from my computer.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
In order to initially/properly load the SU app, you have to have root access. The easiest way to do this is from recovery mode because recovery mode by default runs in only root access.

Once you've installed SU with root access, then every time after, you can upgrade straight from the market as the app will maintain its root access when it upgrades.

Clockwork mod does not show up directly in the market, but ROM manager does show up in the Market. You can download Clockwork mod through ROM manager and then flash it using ROM manager.

ROM manager won't work w/o root access, so SU apk or SU binary will need to be installed first.

Also, using the hboot 1.5 htc unlock method, the custom recovery won't have write access to the kernel/boot partition using the traditional boot recovery method.

You'll have to manually fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img everytime from a computer when you want the custom recovery to have write access to the kernel partition.

The other alternative to using fastboot for kernel/boot partition access is to use my app, Flash Image GUI, from normal android mode to load the kernels separately.

This is a limitation to the HTC unlock method .. not sure why HTC designed their unlock method this way.

Hope that helps!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
*** 11/03/11 - CM Nightly flashers please see synisterwolf's post here for how to keep up with the nightlies when using this mod.

First of all I must thank tiny4579 for all of the hours he spent with me on this project and for his kernel that makes it possible for this to work on GingerSense roms. This has been a great team effort.

If you install any of these mods, on a Sense rom, Tiny's 10/15 kernel with wireless "n" support will be installed. On AOSP your currently installed kernel will be used.

There are 3 versions of this mod (choose ONE):

The normal_data mod just converts your /data and /cache partitions to the ext4 filesystem type for better all around real world performance and makes the necessary changes for this to work with your currently installed rom.

The no_data_limit_normal_dalvik mod (no 150MB data limit) does the above conversion but also removes the linking of /data/data to that small 150MB partition that causes the low space issues. It instead uses a subfolder of your 750MB /data partition to hold these files. It copies the data from your datadata partition, to this new subfolder and keeps the permissions in tact so that your phone doesn't know the difference. The old datadata partition is unused after this.

The no_data_limit_dalvik_moved mod does exactly what mod 2 does but then uses the unused datadata partition for your /data/dalvik-cache folder.

*If you use the no_data_limit_dalvik_moved mod and need to wipe your dalvik-cache, flash the wipe_dalvik zip file.​

**Disclaimer: This mod has a ZERO percent chance of bricking your phone but You, and only YOU, are responsible for what you do to your phone.

Usage:

If you flashed a version lower than v1.0 of the no_data_limit script, READ THIS!

Reboot into recovery and make a good nandroid backup

Either flash the rom you want to use, Restore a nandroid or skip this step to convert for your currently installed rom

Flash either the normal_data convert script or the no_data_limit convert script, depending on what you want

Reboot

Next click the "Thanks" button for Tiny (post #2) and For Me! :D Then Enjoy!

If you want to confirm that the mod worked, run this from adb shell or teminal emulator:

mount | grep ext4

If it worked, 2 lines will be displayed. If it didn't, nothing will be displayed.

To Move Dalvik Back to Normal Location:

Flash this. (Thanks cmlusco!)

To Uninstall

Just do a full wipe in CWM

Flash a fresh rom or restore a pre Ext4 backup

If you upgrade your rom after converting (Like a flashover update)

Re-run the mod as the last thing while in recovery after flashing the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
If you're having issues going to or from the mod, please make sure you're using cwm 5.0.2.0. It would help with wipe data issues as one user reported.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Deleted member 2776902:
Sorry if I took any more reserves. But just to be clear, the normal data mod is faster than no data limit mod? I've never had the data full message, so I'll just use the first one. Just curious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You're exactly right Brett. The normal leaves /data/data on it's own partition and should be faster. It should be really noticeable on the newer sense roms like Newt's HD rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Deleted member 2776902:
Sweet, thanks! I typically run CM7, and it's already crazy fast, I can't imagine it being any faster. But I have run many of the newer Sense ROMs, and there cool, but were always a little to slow for me. Guess I'll have to give them a run again :D

/Nice updater script, I LOL'd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] countryfolk07:
So how does this affect wipes in the mounts as far as switching ROMs? Will this work, delete, need reflashed with each new ROM?

Sent from my ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
CWM formats as ext3, so it would need to be reflashed after switching roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You will need to reflash each time you do a full wipe or even wipe data but after flashing the rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] godsmacked4653:
So I'm curious exactly how this space is distributed. If the Incredible's "internal storage" is 750 MB, does that include everything in the /data folder, or specifically the apps and not their data?

Basically, if you have 200 MB of internal storage free, and 100 MB of stuff in /data/data, then you flash this mod, will it show 200 or 100 MB of internal storage free? Hopefully that's not too dumb of a question. :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Not dumb at all. You would have 100MB remaining because the datadata would become part of the /data partition.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] godsmacked4653:
Cool. Just wanted to make sure I don't overflow my storage with my warehouse of apps. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CUBENSIS:
I'm assuming this is if you flash the "no data limit" mod. So what happens to the 150mb that was reserved for data/data? Would we basically lose that 150mb?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You're correct; that's the no data limit mod. Yes, that 150MB partition would be just sitting around unmounted. That was the best we could come up with right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Tiny (or anyone), do you know if the latest Incredikernel for AOSP has Ext4 support? Really want to try this with MIUI and Incredikernel :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Incredikernel does, Tiamat does, I found out this morning that stock AOSP CM has Ext4 support.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CUBENSIS:
Running this now. Certain things are clearly faster , eg loading of web pages (especially complicated pages or pages w/ Flash), loading of map tiles in Maps, program loading, and the very end of OS startup (after boot anim is done).

edit: this is on newt's inc hd sense 3.5 v1.05

Hi. I would like to ask how can I make my phone's stock recovery backup (just in case I will need it later for whatever reason) prior to flash custom?

Maybe there is already post about this and it would be kind if someone could redirect me there. Somehow I didn't manage to find any thread about such a subject. Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:
i dont think stock recovery can be backed up. But you can flash stock recovery later at any point from custom recovery as zip file made by ciaox http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065197

or you can flash by lgmdp also.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
I've been using CM7 for a few days now, and I've noticed something weird. I've tried both the UCKE5 and UCKJ2 modems (they work the best for me on other ROM's where I live), and it appears that the connection to AT&T's network shifts dramatically.

Not moving my phone, one second I'll have full bars, the next, 0. This happens quite a bit, and I'm not sure what the deal is, as on other ROM's I haven't had this issue.

I'm only using the Phone APN (I deleted the MMS one), but I'm not sure what the deal is. Anyone have this issue or have you solved it?

Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] albee320:
I've had the same problem with the antenna shifting back and forth. Especially with the market. I think I read in the dev thread that others have had an issue with the antenna. Most reflashed to previous roms to fix the issue :/

2.) If after installing the new Music.4.0.1.apk and you are unable to sync, then clear data again and all should be good.

Kinda new to rooting and stuff but does anyone know how Best Buy handles returns/exchanges for androids?

I rooted my phone and unrooted it, took out superuser and did a factory reset. My main concern is whether or not they would put my phone in download mode to check the download counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
most places will not put it in DL mode to check that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xAnimal5:
Did you buy it from best buy?

Also, are you returning it or exchanging it for a new one. If you are exchanging it, you can buy a jig to reset the flash counter for $7. OR, simply lie your teeth out. I've exchanged cracked Xbox games with no insurance, got a new iPod 3rd Gen after saying my 2nd Gen broke, and I even got them to fix my laptop for free. They're gullible, just say you tried to fix it yourself.

I exchanged a rooted and romed captivate at best toward the purchase of a galaxy s2 (got 99 bucks). They didn't seem to care, though the employee did notice it looked a little different and thought it was cool!

Your situation is a little different. You could flash back to stock just in case. I doubt they would give you the runaround. They probably just send it off somewhere, anyway, and check that it is not physically damaged. They did want to make sure I had wiped it of personal data, which I had through wipe data/factor reset in recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] krt41:
I'm in agreement with him. I would do it to. Even though I'm 98% sure they won't check (at least in my local Best Buy).
