[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
how long did it take? a while? it should if it did something.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
No, just a couple of second.

Edit

Mount system first?
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
It should take a minute or so to complete. Once done, reboot back into the OS and there should be a folder /sdcard/patition-backup/.

Within this folder you should have multiple images all ending in .rfs. Really they would typically end in .img but I had it save the images using an rfs extention to facilitate things with heimdall as that's what it expects.

What version of Android are you running?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
MIUI. 1.11.18 w/Neo 17r18.
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
Agreed. /data has all your personal data and efs has your IMEI. You don't want to distribute either of these. That is primarily why I left them out of the script. Don't forget you can either copy the entire efs folder or just zip it up and save it somewhere off your phone as a backup. If you are just looking to backup the phone, CWM is much more efficient at backing it up, IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
Hmmm... I haven't tested it on either MIUI or Cyanogenmod. They may use a different partioning scheme. Can you please copy/paste the response of typing 'mount' from a shell?

( adb shell, then just simply type 'mount' from there )
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
How's this
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
Ok, I see the problem. It appears the MIUI and Cyanogenmod use /dev/block/mtdblock* whereas stock Captivate based roms use /dev/block/mmcblk*.

I'll see about making one for your setup.

Thanks for testing this!
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
mrhaley30705,

Could you please run an "ls" on /radio? I'm wondering what this partition is for.

Also, I'm not sure what partitions the kernel and modem are located at for MIUI.....

If you are using heimdall, (in heimdall-frontend) you should be able to print the PIT ( partition information table ) and paste it here. This will give me all I need to know about what partitions are what/where.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I will have to get that for you tomorrow (pit printout).

How do you run an "ls"?
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
Just type in "ls /radio" in an adb shell prompt.

This will list (ls) all the files in a folder.

No problem for tomorrow,btw.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Not sure this is what your after, but
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
It contains the modem (modem.bin) file for CM7/MIUI ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
Cool. All that's left is to find what partition the kernel is on for MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Mtd kernels are a boot.img, not zImage.
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
Updated OP. Now works with MIUI/Cyanogenmod. I put a different link in as the partition scheme is different.

Do remember to wipe your dbdata partition (datadata for MIUI/Cyanogenmod) before using this for Heimdall. I would recommend backing everything up, then do a data wipe/factory reset, then run this script.
[Captivate Android Development] BloodSkin:
im going to do a little more research on all of this and possibly add it into the AIO im making once i finish the primary features. thanks for the tool bud, im sure people will find great use
[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
No problem. I was using Heimdall and got tired of doing this manually so wrote a script. Then thought others might find it helpful so decided to share. :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcfreak:
Well I am on the TBD v 2.5

I choose power off since I wanted to copy some data to my SD card

Usually on MAGLDR the phone should reboot when its plugged in but my phone did not, it was charging on off mode in MAGLDR

Anybody else had this experience..???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
:O please be serious :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
(after you have done freaking out)

Remove cable, orange LED still on?

If yes, probably was just stuck for some reason and I doubt it was actually charging

Otherwise .... ":eek: please be serious !" !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
just tried it and phone turns on

so no its not working
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
cLK

Thats why I use cLK. Sometimes need to conserve battery as much as possible and charge my phone while its off. cLK also seems to boot faster, as in their is no waiting to watch magldr's script run. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matoflash:
And you can use CWM Recovery to flash ANYthing in NOtime :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
I do use CWM it makes everything a breeze! I usually do task 29 anyway.. ive been reading about bad blocks on our phone :/ i need to check mine..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
more task 29's = more read, erase, write cycles for the nand = more chance of bad blocks.

That's why i always shudder at advice that starts ' do a task 29, return to stock rom, reinstall magldr, reinstall radio, blahblah.,,, 9 times in 10 they aren't necessary, and in the process you triple the number of cycles the process takes. Simply flashing a new cwm layout is enough to clear the nand 999 times in 1000. As for flashing a new (nandroid) rom, choosing wipe data/factory reset in cwm is also usually enough.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Exactly, don't get why people do that sort of full cycle? Just wipe data then flash new CWM partition (if needed) then ROM is what I would do (as of now I've only actually flashed Typhoon and updated, but if I were to change ROMs this would be how).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
exactly, finally someone has a clue ;)

on top of that, people should stop task29ing when they have bad blocks, because the blocks are 'usually' marked as bad and blocked. Every task29 makes it worse.. but what do i know people, better ask google.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
I am sure you all want the new "i9103 Galaxy R Android 2.3.6 ZSKK5 Taiwan November Release 5".

It has TWM TGY KOR CWT BRI csc.

I uploaded it to multiple mirrors:

http://www.multiupload.com/6XGHPVN8NA

First of all, do a CWM backup of the rom on your device.

Download, use Odin to put it on your i9103.

If you do not know your IMEI, go to Phone, call *#06# and write down your IMEI.

Then go to Phone and call *#272*IMEI#

It will ask you what CSC you want.

Do NOT take TWM (Taiwan Mobile) or CWT (Chunghwa Telecom Taiwan).

Take BRI or TGY or KOR. Click Install.

Enjoy Android 2.3.6 November Release 5!

After installing the Samsung Music Hub, this ROM is like the English European ROM, but with Android 2.3.6 updates.

Samsung Music Hub is here:

Thanks, It is better than previous ZCKJ3.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Claus72:
Has it only English language or has it other languages?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
English (UK)

English (USA)

and Asian languages.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] josjator:
Thanks a lot :) I will try at home. I guess it's not rooted. How should we proceed to root it?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
Flash the ardatdat kernel on it to root it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] krobar77:
what is the improvement from previous FW? newer Tegra2 drivers?

and will this wipe user data?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
Yes it will wipe user data so make a backup if you have something you do not want to lose.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
thank you but little questions:

Do I need to change my CSC? I dont understand the process, first I need to change CSC and then I must use Odin to flash the tar file, Am I right? If I just flash without changing CSC would I brick the R?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] josjator:
Afaik drivers are in the Kernel. If you go back to the 2.3.4 rooted kernel then you won't find any new ones. Only enhacements in the ROM (which of course is nice)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
I wrote flashing with Odin before changing csc. You can not change to a csc that you do not have. You change to a csc that this ROM installs.

It is not so easy to brick the R. I even recovered from many flash write errors.

You change the csc to have the new rom installed in a perfect way. After changing the csc the way I described, everything is reset and reinstalled, so you have the new ROM clean and pure like a virgin.

After the CSC change you have a new, unbranded, untouched, virgin, stock "Samsung i9103 Android 2.3.6 November Release 5".
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
You are right. I suggest you build a new root kernel based on the new kernel (like ardatdat did for the older kernel) and share it with us.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
thank you! Now I could understand the process completely! The root for this rom is the same kernel we had right?

Are you using this KK5? Did you test it? any improvements?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
Yes we do not have a better root kernel yet.

Yes I am using KK5 and I will stay with it.

Did not have time to do benchmarks with it.

A difference I noticed in 2.3.6 is that the home screen is a infinite loop like the apps screen.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] BassOperators:
Legion1911! Check there is a menu of Russian language?

Google apps for Asia in this rom?

[Galaxy Tab General] dav3yb:
So i jumped on the deal on sellout.woot today, and i'll be getting a verizon galaxy tab, hopefully next week, and wanted to get a few things together and start reading up.

I'll probably look at just updating it out of the box and playing around with the stock firmware, but i know i'll probably want to stick some kind of custom firmware on it. So are there any recommendations on a good custom firmware? I'd like one that enable the ability to connect to ad-hoc networks (which the few in the development section i saw did not seem to mention). Should any rom for the VZW tab work? or are there different versions of this tab that i need to be aware of?

As far as flashing goes, what is hiemdal and odin? do they do basically the same thing? what about the clockwork mod, what exactly does that do? I've done a bit of rooting of devices before, but nothing major, so are there good tutorials or guides that explain a bit more about flashing custom roms? I'd like to not have a paperweight when all is said and done.

Any info you can provide or link me to is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
There are not very many custom ROMs that have been developed for the Verizon Tab. Galaxy Cubed seems to be a good one. The same Dev created a stock rooted gingerbread ROM so you may want to start with that one. Some of the Sprint ROMs also work. The Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA and very similar. NEVER flash a GSM ROM to this device!

Odin and Heimdall both have the capability to flash ROMs to Samsung devices. Odin is leaked Samsung software and Heimdall is newly written software based on Odin code. I recommend you use Heimdall version 1.1.1, it is free and easy to use. Just do a google search and you will find their website.

Clockworkmod is a custom recovery that does what the stock recovery does only more. It adds the ability to flash various mods to the ROM from recovery and to do backups. But once it's installed you can only get to it by software on your system. If you try to get to it by booting, you get into the stock recovery.

Just be careful when flashing things to your Tab, it is easy to bork it up. There are a lot of tutorials here on XDA, so read them carefully.
[Galaxy Tab General] rouxdy:
I jumped on the same deal! Got a question too, if you don't mind the piggyback...

I chose the Verizon model and I'm interested in using a bluetooth keyboard... I understand that upon release not all keyboards would work but that Verizon put out an update and now all do work.

How do I know other than trial and error if this unit has been upgraded?

My plan is to root and go with a basic gingerbread upgrade and then pretty much leave it be. But if this is a Verizon specific update I'm wondering if I don't need to do a one month data deal in order to get the upgrade.

Any help is appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
If you install the stock vanilla rooted ROM by dsb9938 you will have the latest Verizon upgrade, only rooted. Look on settings, about device, and the latest says EI04. Even if your unit comes with the latest ROM, you may want to flash the rooted vanilla since that is the easiest way to get rooted. Most of the other methods fail or are very difficult to implement on EI04.

No need to subscribe to data unless you want to. I personally like having data everywhere.
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
Lagfix ASAP
[Galaxy Tab General] rouxdy:
Thanks! That was very helpful!

I have a droid 3 with data and it looks like there are ways to tether the Tab to the droid... I'd only need to send a few files via email a few times a month and even then it's not a necessity so much as it is a convenience.

Just posted by Phandroid via WirelessGoodness:

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/02/gal...me/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Phandroid says not likely for AT&T, but WirelessGoodness says it is for AT&T. Which is why I asked if Canada uses FCC - as I thought that was a US red-tape that we used?

P.S. Oh, and if this comes to AT&T before T-Mobile, I am really going to be sad! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Ignore this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Even if its not meant for the US directly, if it can be used in the US they have to pass it through the FCC. So because this model has 850/1900 (which AT&T uses) they have to clear it in the FCC.

Just like a while back we saw the UK version pass through the FCC as well.

I personally have no idea what the deal is with them passing it through again. The article makes it sound like it isn't pentaband...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I saw a post about the CA version possibly having a micro SD slot... Here's the link to the samsung page. http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification

I wonder if this is accurate of just a typo of some sort :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
Thank you for your response, as I was curious about this. I didn't think Canada (or any other country for that matter) used the FCC. So I'll be curious what becomes of this.

Also, it gives me a little hope (and some disapointment) that maybe the US GSM versions won't be penatband - meaning that maybe the T-Mobile version (when it comes) will be HSPA+ 42? (As displayed in the GN event live feed we all watched).

The bad of course is, that if it's not pentaband - as that would have been a nice feature to have, it work on either carrier and more of a "world" phone.

Good eye! Not sure about this either, probably a typo - but who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
They should all be pentaband. The FCC just doesn't test bands that are not relevant for the US.

So I have 2gb of data and used it all up. If I understand correctly it will still say 4g but throttled down to 2g. If I go to my settings wireless and mobile networks and change to use gsm only it will actually switch to 2g in the notification bar. My question is by only using gsm instead of wcdma will I have a longer lasting battery? Doesn't wcdma require more power consumption? And last, I've also noticed that if I have wcdma 4g throttle down with 2-3 bars vs gsm 2g full bars I get slightly better speed results. Any help greatly appreciated.
