Misledz :

The problem is that I don't find (after several researches) the drivers on samsung site, but I found another one.

The tablet is not recognized in ADB nor in fastboot (as told in my first message)

When I boot the tablet, I see the samsung logo with open padlock and then the boot animation with the android bot and then I'm stuck there.

When I hold power and left volume button, the device turns on and I see a screen with the usb and the droid in the triangle (downloading mode)

I think (by reading the very interesting post of benzoman) that it might have a confusion about "the device isn't recognized by the computer". What I mean is :

When i plug it via usb, turn it on normally, or put it in downloading mode or fastboot mode, the computer doesn't even react (any sound like when i plug a usb key nor pop up saying "new device detected" in the right bottom corner of the screen)

I hope these informations added to my first post are enough for you to have a clear vision of my problem.

Benzoman :

You don't have time to give the informations you "know", but enough to waste by writing this type of s**t?!

Can you tell me how does a cyclotron works? How we modulate the power of the exiting ray of particles? When you will be, just come back to waste your time here and show that you think you're smarter than others. Everyone has his own job, I'm not into computer science so yes, I recognize I'm far to know every thing, and I think that's the purpose of this type of forum : share knowledge and help others when needed.

I think you should open a new type of forum, if your entertainment is to waste your time by laughing at other's problem.

You wrote about 10 lines to say nothing...but don't have time to give a hand? How many lines would have been necessary to give a useful information? By seeing how strong you're saying you are, surely less!

At least, if you don't want to help, don't foul the topic, it will be easier for the ones who really want to help to follow!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
D:...I was wondering what the fuss was about...and then the mega paragraph came :P Let's relax on this firstly, Jux , Benzo is just trying to help :) I do agree I end up suggesting the less problematic solution to drain but ofcourse there are other methods to "tame" this wild beast of a tablet. I've only been on the Galaxy Tab scene for less than a week so I'm just giving information based on experience :), I hope you don't take to heart what he said, as this is a Q&A thread and almost 70~80% of the threads go unanswered that people purposely post in the development area for quick attention..only to be booted here by the mods (Which I agree they are doing a good job, Kudos), atleast on the positive side, there has been interaction in this. :)

Moving on to the main deal.

I know you have mentioned the droid and the triangle, but it confuses me as to do you stay in that screen or do you select an option. If memory serves me right, the left, being the droid logo (You select it with the (+) key, which is the right volume key, and navigate with the (-) and select the droid logo) I know you haven't been into download mode because you didn't mention the warning that it gives before you actually get into download mode.

Warning goes somewhere along the lines of proceeding at your own risk with a huge ass triangle telling you the following. In which you need to press the plus key again to confirm. If you did this right, no matter what, lack of driver or such, the PC will recognize the newly open port. Normally Odin won't recognize the tablet despite being in the fastboot menu, but adb will.

I would however suggest trying a different USB port? or another laptop? Normally this

RARELY

happens but some HP based desktops come with a built in MMC reader which consumes a port of it's own and conflicts with the port Odin requests. You don't really need a high end PC to get this done, just the required files.

And just for reference could you kindly state what OS are you on, Windows __? Seeing as to how you said you aren't that tech savy I would assume it's either Vista (Which has some HORRIBLE USB port management) , If it's XP , XP tends to reserve USB port's for previously plugged devices to avoid the recache or reinstallation of drivers.

I know the vast questions may sound silly, but trust me on this, the least expected situations are what causes the most frustrations :P

Note: I haven't worked in any Service Center's if ever you're wondering -.- so I do apologise if I sound like one of those Dell service reps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
My sentence was :

"Thank you for your help, but I still don't understand, and this is for every type of device, how can I install driver if the device is undetected by windows?? In the device manager, I don't see any unknown device or something equivalent"

I don't see what's not clear or what let you think that I meant "that can't be done"... Whatever, you made apologizes, I make mine too for the eventual misunderstanding between you and me and yes of course, your help is still welcome if you want to.

So, back to the main problem, I used usbdeview to uninstall all samsung drivers.

After that, I followed this tutorial to enter in fastboot : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1064793

That means I :

- Downloaded and install the JAVA SDK

- Downloaded the Android SDK

- Downloaded the USB drivers

- Edited the “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf”

And then :

1) Power off your tablet

2) Hold the VOLUME DOWN button and press the POWER button (your tablet will power on and you will see the BACKUP and USB icons)

3) Use VOLUME DOWN to select the USB icon, and then press VOLUME UP to confirm the selection.

4) You should now be in fastboot mode (the word FASTBOOT should appear somewhere in the top left corner)

5) If Windows doesn’t automatically detect the device, go to device manager and find the ‘Fastboot’ device. Right-click and select update driver, choose to manually install and browse to the “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\extras\google\usb_driver\” folder.

And there is the problem : any sound when I plug the tablet, windows doesn't detect automatically, so I go to the device manager to look for the "fastboot device" (or another type of device that is not from the computer) and I don't see nothing...so I can't update drivers.

So that is why I asked the question : How can i install drivers if the computer doesn't see the device?

After that, I tried all the things you can read in my first post because I wanted to be as complete as I could in my description so you can have all in your hand to give your advice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
*Cough* before It goes un-noticed my suggestion got blocked by your reply :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
I see this :p

I tried to enter both menus, as told in my first post :

"

* I tried to do the method to root the device one more time. I make the button procedure to arrive to the screen with the usb plug and the android working in a triangle.

*When I choose the usb plug, I have these informations written :

fastboot usb download protocol

bootloader version : p7100BUKC8

baseband version : P7100BUKDF

serial number : the serial is written

lock state : unlocked

*When I choose the triangle, I have these :

reason : force key

secure mode : secure

check signature : check

oem lock : unlock

waiting usb cable...

Regardless of my choice, I can't have any communication with my 2 computers (running under windows 7 x64 or windows vista x86)

"

And I also tried different (each) usb port.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Hmm the best way to approach this would be to wonder what you're actually seeing, would you be as so kind enough to upload a screenie via whatever method you suggest of the screens you see? I don't wanna make hasty judgements without seeing other options
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
Here there are :

- SPA52073 : main menu when I turn on the tablet by holding power & vol - buttons

- SPA52074 : downloading mode, when I select the droid in triangle with vol + button

- SPA52075 : lines written when I select the downloading mode. As it's not very clear, the lines are the following :

+------------------------+

- odin download mode -

- protocol (v2) -

+------------------------+

reason : force key

secure mode : secure

check signature : check

oem lock : unlock

waiting usb cable...

- SPA52076 : fastboot mode, when I select the usb symbol with vol + button.

- SPA52077 : lines written when I select the fastboot mode. As it's not very clear, the lines are the following :

fastboot usb download protocol

bootloader version : p7100BUKC8

baseband version : P7100BUKDF

serial number : the serial is written

lock state : unlocked

Regardless to the mode I choose, when I'm into it and I plug the usb cable to my computer (vista x86 or 7 x64), the computer doesn't detect it and I don't have any change on the tablet screen.

The only way for me to leave the both modes is to turn off the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Thanks for the feedback, I've looked into this and I've done the same, and should be uploading a few shots shortly.

Apparently everything works great for you as planned, nothing is wrong with the tablets response or the USB ports as the drivers seem to be grand, could it be that the wire you are using is not the original or probably no connection is made via the cable and pc, one thing is for sure, it's either the wire pins are broken or wire is grounded. Have you tried with a brand new cable? Because as far as I can see everything checks out, as you can see on my tablet we have similar displays shown.

I mean think about it, laptops are not fault as both accept USB I mean how the hell do you move a mouse if your USB ports are broken, tablet is not faulty either it works perfectly as planned, it's the wire..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
Yes, I understand, but my point of view is the following :

The person who flashed the tablet did it with the cable, so it wasn't broken. After flashing the tablet doesn't communicate anymore with the computer.

Plus the cable is an original one, and in perfect state.

Plus, if the cable was broken, could it be possible to charge the tablet by usb port?

These are some reflexions, but not a fixed position, and mostly due to the fact that I would evitate to buy a new cable for nothing (i repeat, I don't say that one is right and the other is wrong) without being sure.

Is it possible that in the connexion of the cable, some wire would be broken so the charge is still effective but not the communication??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
That is possible, when the wire is grounded it doesn't seem to respond, I wish I could upload or post a video, the same applies to my old iPod 2G which is now a hand down to my youngest sister, The cable works perfectly when charging, BUT when you plug it via USB it doesn't recognize the USB device.

I think I can do that via screenshots, let me show you. Give me a few minutes.

Edit: Used the 3GS instead and yes this is an original wire, mind you. I hope you don't mind the semi blurred shots, was somewhat in a hurry :P The first shot shows that it charges perfectly, you can even see the charging icon, the second however shows that when plugged via USB it doesn't even recognize it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
Yes it's very explicit thank you. But the problem is still the same : whatever I do, when I plug the table with usb I don't see any pop up window (like the one on your secon picture), I don't hear any sound and i don't see anything in the device manager.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
My brain is somewhat running out of options but now atleast we have tackled almost 90% of the options viable. If you claim the wire is in perfect condition then let us agree that it is. See I'm not physics major but I do know that as long as metal surfaces touch one another, there will be electrical contact possible. With that as reference maybe you are right, maybe the wire is fine, USB wise, but maybe the contact pins where you plug the wire to the tablet isn't, probably during a rush the person didn't pull it out properly, or perhaps rushed to remove the wire and probably bent a few pins. Despite being bent, it will charge perfectly but I don't think data transmission will take place you may have to check if all the pins are straight, kinda like this?

[|||||||||||] (Horrible representation I know :rolleyes: forgive me)

Since you can't boot up the tablet to check if the tablet charges via USB to PC (Because without the offline charge script in Overcome the tablet won't charge via USB, this was meant as a safety precaution to save it incase you needed to drain it completely to restore it, as my tutorial states in this section) you can't really confirm this which kinda sucks. Which leaves you 2 options to determine the "alpha problem"

1) Borrow another Galaxy Tab wire (All Galaxy Tab wire's are the same in general) and try connecting it, IF by any said miracle that it detects the USB, the voila, USB wire is the problem.

2) If the borrowed/alternative wire didn't work, then it's the contact pins in the tablet.

I don't see how this is a bad idea, but would 140% pin down the main issue. (pun intended :cool:)

PS- I just remembered I had an old Nokia whose pin's for reading the SIM card were bent? (Some fat asshole sat on my phone when it slipped out my pocket at a party and shattered it ;_; FUUUUU) it detected the SIM, but after a while it gave SIM card error. SIM was perfectly fine regardless.

I would like to know your feedback on this, would help alot :) Maybe for future references?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
Considering your drawing, my pins look like this ;-)

But I'm sure that the tablet charges when I plug it in usb because I've never used the socket charger and I still can use it (and god knows how long I played with it to try to fix my problem) AND when I plug the off tablet, the screen lights on and I see the battery filling in green. After every time i quick push on the power button, the screen lights on and show the battery filling in green.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Well then the wire theory is what's left :P You have nothing to lose anyways, you can get a cheap tab wire somewhere I guess.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
I will check where I can get one and keep you informed here ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
EDIT: Just noticed the pages of help after I actually replied. I just woke up. :)

ORIGINAL:

I've never seen the fastboot words come up on my device, and haven't dealt with it with others, so Misledz, could you please help here?

Thanks bro.

If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
I guess it differs per tablet? I'm not entirely sure, but my Download mode text popup's were as what I posted, whereas he is using the 7510 :P Basically just the download mode screen. It shows up on the 7510 Download mode screen, just not on the 7500 series :P

PS- So much happens when one goes to sleep, which is why...Sleep is for the weak >:]!:D

@Jux sure man, just keep me posted :]
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxci:
I finally managed to borrow a cable from a friend of mine.

So I plugged the tab in downloading mode to the usb...and Tab detected and drivers installed!!!!!!!:D

I finally get the communication, and restored the Tab.

Really strange that the cable allows to charge but not to communicate?! Plus, with the defect cable, the battery is charging when I plug the usb, with the good one, it doesn't?!

Whatever, thank you all for your time and advices.

PS : do I have to put a "resolved status" for this topic or not?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Is this the part where I say "I tooooooollllllllllld yoooooooooouuuuuuu~" :P

Regardless, glad you got it working back again :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonnieDio:
I recently bought the MHL adaptor for my Galaxy SII so I can use the phone as a handy media player when I'm not at my own house. Anyway I've started ripping some of my Blu-Ray movies, but then I started to wonder, how will I store the file on the phone? The first movie I ripped was over 15GB, but my memory card is FAT32 and won't take files over 4GB, as far as I know the phone itself won't read NTFS (?).

So does anyone know how I can get the file onto my 32GB MicroSD card and allow the phone to read it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
NTFS = Windows

ext4 = Linux

Android ~ Linux

Applry the files or use an ext4 file-system. I'm sure I read about that it's possible on Android.

However, no USB support under windows anymore then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RexJay78:
Format ur sd card to NTFS Format and use a NTFS compatible kernel such as Siyah Kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlowerPotmen:
I coverted my Blu-Ray's with Daniusoft Video Converter, and saved the file as Galaxay S2. I then used Kies (Video Library) to transfer them to my phone. Only problem is that I could only put 1 on the SD card, and the other 2 on the internal.

The phone will convert them when you do this! But stunning movie pic's

Hope this is some help anyway...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Siyah or any kernel for GS2 doesn't read ntfs formatted external sd as of now. Only ntfs thumb drives can be read.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonnieDio:
Ok I'll try to format the card to ext4 and post back with the results.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonnieDio:
Thanks for the info, however I want the video to be true 1080p blu-ray quality, so I don't want to convert to a smaller file/lower quality format.

same; problem I am faceing ....and read in galaxy note section that it is possible to format SD card in ntfs and make it to work ..our sgs 2 devs has to consider this problem and work on it....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
Watching Netflix or anything in full screen it's noticeable. Very noticeable. After one week of owning it about a month ago, I saw a similar topic and thought "this would never happen to me". Fast forward a month later, I have it. And a scratch on my screen after putting it in my pocket only with nothing else in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Take a photo and post it please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Mine does too, mighty thanks to amoled

This is going to happen regardless of what you do.

Acceptance is key
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Can someone post a picture? I would like to see what all the fuss is about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
By nav bar, do you mean the notification/status bar? If so, I know exactly what you're talking about. The static cyan text is a burn-in waiting to happen. I noticed a little bit of cyan tint in that area when brightness is low and the screen is white. It's by no means that bad at all but I use the hide the status bar option in ADW to prevent it from getting worse. 2 months later and it hasn't gotten worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
By nav bar they mean the soft keys (Home - Menu - Recent - Back) buttons on the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
Oh, in that case I haven't seen that problem but I have heard of people with it. You can get rid of those soft-keys with custom mods too that makes your phone full-screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sardonik:
I noticed this on my Gnex as well. Rotating the screen clockwise to a landscape orientation, the left side of my screen where the soft buttons were has a notably bluer tint. For the record, I keep my screen on auto, which I was hoping would reduce the burn-in effect. Setting the screen brightness to 100% seems to hide the burn-in. Dunno if that will always be true.

Even worse, when I did a screen compare of my previous Nexus vs the display model at the Verizon store back in early Jan, the demo model's screen was noticeably dimmer and off color even at full brightness. Seemed like running in torch mode 24/7 with a bright red background caused the screen to degrade noticeably after only a week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
The only time I notice any sort of image retention (relating to the notification bar) is when I first open the XDA app and it quickly goes full screen. Other than that I never see it. However, I commonly see image retention going from home screen to Market but it fades very quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinan:
Mine as well as my friend's has burn-in at the top and bottom where the status bar is and the soft buttons. Also my old nexus S as well as my friend's has burn in at the top status bar. It's inevitable I guess...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I started seeing this too but i quickly switched to transparent top and bottom bars so that those pixels got even wear, and it actually reversed my burn in mostly. My screen is near perfect now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marchaesa_:
this happen to me, too. it sucks. can this be exchanged in person somewhere instead of shipping it? i don't want to wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Burn in was a term for lcd screens. For this situation think of it as "reverse led fatigue". The leds that are not used as much as the rest of the screen will appear brighter giving you the impression that it is burn in. On the first gen amoled's some would leave and entire white screen on full brightness overnight to normalize or calibrate the leds. Doesn't bug me one bit though.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Exactly right. But the term burn in is so familiar to people it will likely never change.

I forgot to say that to eliminate this burn in i also use full screen browser at all times to hide the status bar. And i consistently rotate the screen to different views while i read my webpages to give the other pixels a rest. The effect is excellent.

To test this the best, install dead pixel detect from market and toggle thru every color. Rotate the screen too to see both areas. The color red is the only one that shows the burn in for me. Which is strange cause blue is the weak color that wears out the quickest. But my blue looks fine.
