[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBalledOX:
Sigh.

Had been running LiquidSense and it was working just fine. I lent the tab to a coworker last night and the 3.2 update came up for it, they downloaded and installed it for me because they thought they were "helping" me out (in fairness I had talked about being interested in the 3.2 update and the coworker in question is not a tech idiot either) but long story short, ****'s broken and I think I may be SOL.

The install seemed to fail and I figured since I was running a custom ROM I could just reboot in to recovery, go back to stock and then do the upgrade. Unfortunately for me, when I tried to reboot it got stuck in a boot loop and now I'm in an apparent world of ****. I can put the device in to Odin download mode and the computer recognizes it but it fails whenever I try to flash the stock ROM via Odin, and if I try to put the tab in to recovery mode instead it just reboots and I'm right back to where I started, in a boot loop.

Any ideas? Am I just boned on this one? If I call up Verizon and play dumb ("I dunno what could have happened, I downloaded this software update and now it just boot loops") what are the odds that I send it in to Samsung and get them to fix it without charging me out the ass for voiding the warranty?

you can gives this a try http://www.galaxytabforums.net/forum/galaxy-tab-10-1-help/885-my-google-io-boot-loop.html

or get files for dummies here http://devphone.org/files/gtab101/FilesForDummies.zip

unzip it - you should a bunch of files including recovery.md5

Run Odin.exe, and load recovery.md5 file into PDA

Turn off tab - then boot to recovery, install your desired ROM from zip
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Just something to check but when my tab was failing part way through my flashing of the leaked 3.2 rom using Odin back in November it was a driver issue.

I ended up installing kies and trying various USB ports on my machine before finding one that worked. As it turned out I could not use my USB 3.0 controller nor could I use the USB hub that I have.

Just a thought.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] automaddux:
Quick question does a screen pop up with a device and a computer with an exclamation in the middle that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"?

Was in the same situation a few months ago I rooted and unlocked my tab and through a post in here was suggested to flash CWM through ROM Manager which brought up the exact same problem you're having now. Unforunately no one here could help me and my tab turned into a paper weight for a month or so until I finally got the balls to call Samsung for tech support (Verizon don't know how to fix this problem, already tried) they never asked any questions just told me to send it in. I shipped it and within a few weeks or so I got my Tab back and it was like brand new.

The really sad part of all this is that one: I apperently didn't learn my lesson the first time and went through the root/unlock process again to get rid of that damn touchwiz and forgot that ROM Manager is what killed my tab the first time so I'm once again in the same boat. Stupid, stupid, stupid... My dilemma now is wether or not to call Samsung again and see if luck will find me a second time?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Ditch ROM Manager. I used it religiously on my nook color but I've seen a bunch of people report issues using it on the Galaxy Tabs. Do your backup and restore management from within CWM instead.

Most common reason people with Verizon LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1's end up in boot loop situations is trying to flash ROMs intended for other devices like wifi versions of the GT. Stick with ROMs that are intended for the LTE tablet and ask before flashing if unsure, these LTE tabs are not the same and there's a reason why special kernels are made for them.

As for fixing the boot loops as long as you can get the tablet into download mode you should be able to fix it. Just odin the stock ROM (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342995&highlight=verizon ).

If the odin flash is failing mid way then you're most likely having driver issues on the PC side. Reboot the PC, install the latest version of Kies so that it installs the driver for you and then try again. Failing that try another USB port. Take heed of any error messages either on the tab or in odin and report them back so people can help you with specifics.

Repair service for bricked Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE

I did exactly what you just described. It was a stupid mistake. I actually had the right ROM but clicked on the wrong one when I loaded it. Now my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE is bricked. It doesn't even recognize the charger being plugged in so it won't charge.

I need to get it repaired. Does anyone know of a repair service other than Samsung? I'm afraid they will take 4 to 8 weeks and I need it fixed sooner than that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
I have look deeply in the forums and I still cant find the answer for this question, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I have this MT4G already root, and I was planning on flashing it for better performance and battery life. I have seen Roms, Kernels and Radio flashing, but I haven't see a post where I can get like the right combination of those 3 and which one you have to flash first in order to have the 3 of those. If anyone know, please let me know with links, or with own experience.

And yes my friends, I'm new in this thing and I'm trying to learn everything thats has to do with androids.

I'm sorry if this thread has been post and any mod are free to delete it, I'm just looking forward to know every detail if possible.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Don't touch the baseband (radio) until you read enough to understand what it is and what it does.

Flashing ROM includes a kernel.

Switching kernels on the same ROM is a matter of preference.

Switching ROMs is a matter of preference.

There is no "best". There are different things to suit different people.

Read more, until you understand, what a ROM is and what a kernel is. There is LOTS of info on the internet, and if you're new and trying to learn, you should know that your path doesn't lay through asking questions on the forum, but through reading what's been asked ages before you, because as a newcomer, you have no new questions to present and can safely assume that all you have to ask, has been answered 10000 times.

Thanks! I will try it right now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homerbsharp:
Crazy, as a smart phone newbie on my MT3G I read for days before flashing radio and I am a tech, can be confusing... but

1. Radio. I have stock Gingerbread radio. This will be good enough to flash a variety or ROMS, although there are newer versions. The 1st answer is correct to read about the radio - that is where you could brick you phone if you mess up. Read about good and bad EMMC

2. You need a Recovery. Clockworkmod is usually a starter and then 4EXT IMHO, both of which you can get from the market ... Once you have recovery, you can wipe cache data etc... flash and backup ROMS. A decent sized SD card is necessary for backups. My Sense backups are ~1 GB. Between backups and music etc... you will need a decent card.

3. You can flash a different kernel but mostly they are included in the ROMs, as stated. I find there are, in a way, 3 flavors of ROMs: Sense, MIUI, and CM. My favourites are all by the same developer - CM7.2 (current ROM), Darkside Sense 4.0, and MIUI but there are a lot of good ones out there and ICS is on the way.

Look at the Resource Bible for radio how tos, and that and the development section for a good idea of some of the best ROMs and experiment. I suggest backing your ROMs as you may want to go back to them later because you might find you did not get all you could out of the ROM just cuz you didn't know enough yet.

Summarizing: Once the radio is good, all the 'combination' stuff you asked about will fall in place. Just remember to read about radio and emmc first. If you get stuck hit me up and I will help you out. Don't flash radio until you know what you are doing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
I know there is no best combination, but what i know is other users with good experience that maybe will suit me, thats why I want recommendations from others experienced users:D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
This is what i was looking for.

I was reading the MT4G post for new ppl and already check my EMMc and its the good one. Already root my phone with the visionary app using a guide from here to do the PermaRoot. I already read already a little about MIUI and Radio ( of course i need to read more ) I know there is an app called Titanium that is good for backup, read about Rom manager and what it does. But believe me, I will keep reading like a maniac lol

Btw, this is what my phone have right now:

Ver. 2.2.1

Baseband ver. ( Radio if Im not mistaken )

12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26M

Kernel

2.6.32.21
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homerbsharp:
Excellent, finding you have the good EMMc is nice thing.

You have froyo radio, allowed you to root, so you just have to flash more recent radio and you are good to go.

Couple of other things:

1. Especially for radio but for all downloads use an md5 checker; I am using SnapMD5 on xp - free, seems to work well. There are also other programs and you can also do it in terminal mode or adb.

2. After radio, get clockworkmod and install recovery.

3. Download your ROM, put on SD card, then boot into recovery.

4. Backup ROM. Wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik when flashing ROMS, cache and dalvik for updates only.

5. Install from SD card - choose your ROM zip file ...

FYI, if you are not using pro version I find mybackup root to be better for mass restoring apps ... but I use Titanium as well.

One last thing that is your original request for what you want is battery life and performance IMHO = CM, my favorite being TDJs 7.2 however trust me and the others, you won't know what you want just yet ...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
Got it.

I already update my Radio to 26.08.04.30 gingerbread, haven't seen a big change ( maybe because im from PR ) lol and i have the stock one in case I start having problems with that one.

On my way now to do the clockworkmode to get the recovery so i can move one to the ROMS.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homerbsharp:
After you use clockwork download 4EXT, it is awesome and now has 'touchcovery' which is so, so slick - it has a 'wipe all except for sd card' which is really good for changing ROMs.

Not sure if you have your card partitioned with 4EXT but you might want to go that way at some point. You can do it from within recovery but note when partitioning and formatting cards you can wipe your data so best to just pull everything to your PC first - e.g. if you have some pics and music on your card.

You are about to have a lot of fun!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
Already bought Rom Manager Pro ( yes...i know lol there are maybe other free apps ), since I had problems doing the CWM with terminal and ADB. I did the backup of my rom and system files. The only thing that is left is to download the ROM and wipe everything and im done. I was reading about 4EXT and was about to download it to install it and give it a try. So far, everything good with the radio. Btw, can you wipe other things from 4EXT apart from the sd?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homerbsharp:
For wiping:

Wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache when doing a new rom. If you are at 100% batter you may want to wipe battery stats - optional.

A lot of people have strange issues because they don't do a good wipe and just do cache and dalvik. I have found that only appropriate if going between minor version differences.

You don't wipe the SD card FAT partition. This is also why I like the 4EXT option to wipe everything except for SD.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
I havent try it yet but I already download it and installed. I was planning on do a complete whipe to the phone anyways lol. Whats the point on erasing battery stats? Oh and im downloading 3 different roms. I will.get back.with the names.later but.one of them is CM7
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
Btw, I wanted.to.know if im doing something wrong using terminal.or ADB since on ADB I was trying to push some files to the sdcard but said something about permision denied.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Songo07:
If you still out there, i finally finish everything. I'm running Virtuous Affinity 1.48 at 1.3ghz ( will test later at 1.5 ) with the gingerbread radio and so far is running smooth and awesome. Already install Rom manager pro, 4EXT and some other cool apps that the Rom already had. And i can say it was thanks to you and the bible lol

Oh and btw, now I'm gonna read about the galaxy S since my wife have one, Im gonna try with that one too hahaha
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew749:
depends on preference

if you prefer sense over stock vanialla android, i would suggest one of the many sense 3.5 roms on the forum. They have been optimized amazingly to work wihtout lag on the mt4g. I'm running Darkside 4 and have been satisfied with the indcluded kernel. As for radio, don't touch it unless you see that someone else has had success.

Do you think tania is gonna be available with a similar price faster than e900?

its a low spec device http://www.1800pocketpc.com/zte-tania-hardware-review-video/26711/

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy_Jew:
My NC was running great a few days ago, but after updating itself to 1.4.1 I was unable to install apps that I had on my SD card. When attempting to install an app I received this error message: "For security reasons, only apps purchased through the NOOK shop can be installed". (Part of the new B&N update takes away the ability to sideload apps.)

To try to fix this I ran a factory reset to the stock (nook-complete-restore-1.0.1) software and then updated it to 1.3. Running 1.3 I then installed manualnooter-5.12.20 which is the most up to date version of Manual Nooter. Everything worked great until I tried to install an app, I once again received the error: "For security reasons, only apps purchased through the NOOK shop can be installed"

I then stated over with my first step and restored my NC to stock and tried manualnooter-4-6-16, but once again, same error.

I've run out of ideas, so if anyone can help I would be grateful.

B&N sucks. I've bought 8 NCs for friends and family; and countless books from these idiots, and this is how they thank me.

It wouldn't be so hard to find a solution to my problem if B&N didn't come out with the Nook Tablet, which makes it harder to sort through the search results when looking for a fix to the sideloading error.

I will spend all of my free time convincing everyone I meet not to buy a Nook product.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Just to confirm: You did NOT load one of the older ManualNooter versions first?

I know the version of 1.4.1 B&N had up before Christmas differs from the version of 1.4.1 you can download now. There is another thread around here somewhere where someone posted a link to the older version. Unfortunately, I'm out of state right now, and can't post my copy up for you.

That said, some folks have done the root process using the newest 1.4.1 version and are reporting that everything is working, so I can't guarantee that's your fix.

B&N generally don't care about the techie base. I've been following the threads over at the B&N forums, and there's apparently not likely to be a change. They clearly want these things to be dedicated media feed system to the revenue streams (what used to be called "customers") and are focused on that. It's a definite kick in the teeth. Lots of folks there are moving over to Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, or waiting for the new Asus toys. Personally, I'm happy enough with my NC, and will keep it for a few more months until something more open can be had for less.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy_Jew:

No, I used manualnooter-5.12.20.

I root or jailbreak every electronic device I get my hands on and never have an issue, but this seems to be too elusive.

Thanks for the reply, but I just want to be able to sideload apps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
I just re-read your post, and I think I may have a clue. manualnooter-5.12.20 was developed, as I understand it, to address B&N firmware 1.4.1 specifically. The procedure for rooting 1.3 is unchanged from first post in the "[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16" thread, namely the part that states "1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16". I used those two in sequence and had no problems with rooting 1.3. If you decide to update to 1.4.1, then you'll want 5.12.20 (or whatever the latest is).

You could try running 4.5.18 + 4.6.12 in that sequence to see if it works. If not, you may have to do a factory reset, then do them in sequence.

If you want to stay at 1.3, you should also research the threads for blocking OTA updates.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy_Jew:
Once again, thank you very much for your reply.

I reverted my NC back to stock, (nook-complete-restore-1.0.1) updated to 1.3.0, I then used manualnooter 4.5.18 followed by manualnooter 4.6.12.

Before the 1.4.1 update I had successfully rooted many NCs and other tablets for customers and have never had a problem. I think that something in the 1.4.1 update has evil magic powers (rûah) that cannot be exorcised.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Just use MN 5.12.20 ONLY for 1.4.1 and you'll be all set.

Didn't he confirm that he did use MN 5.12.20 and he still has problem with side-loading?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
On 1.3, using 5.1.20, yes. At least that's how the OP reads.

MN 5.1.20 works fine for at least the pre-Christmas version of B&N 1.4.1. I've heard both ways with the later release(s). You still want to user the older MN versions for 1.3 and older, and that was the problem as described in the OP. You also want to skip the older MN versions altogether for 1.4.1. This all is in GMPOWER'S posts to the MN thread if you really care.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy_Jew:
I did that on my first attempt, it's what caused me to make this thread.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidr415:
I think part of the confusion is that you said (in the OP)

"Running 1.3 I then installed manualnooter-5.12.20 which is the most up to date version of Manual Nooter."

This is not the same as running 5.12.20 over 1.4.1. It appears you got off with a mismatch of NC versions and MN versions.

Having said that.. it may or may not explain your sideloading problem..
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
So where are you now, and where do you want to be?

Assuming you want to root 1.4.1:

You did toggle the setting to allow 3rd party apps, right? Skipping that step could explain this problem.

If so, again, the post-Christmas 1.4.1 release might be the problem. Somebody posted a link to the older (known-working) version in another thread, but I can't locate it ATM.

I put everything I know about rooting 1.4.1 successfullyusing GMPOWER's tips in a braindump. Maybe there's something useful there for you.

You're right, I didn't notice that until just now. I was on 1.3.0 and my NC updated itself to 1.4.1, I then ran the manualnooter-5.12.20. That's when I got the error about sideloading apps. I then preformed a restore (nook-complete-restore-1.0.1) and then upgraded to 1.3.0 and ran, in sequence, manualnooter-4.5.18 and manualnooter-4.6.16.
