[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
badumtss. This is why I hate kies. Basically when you boot it up, it goes directly to black screen is it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osbor:
not quite, it displays the original boot logo (the slightly smaller "galaxy tab 10.1" logo) for a few seconds before going to black screen
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinky73:
Are you using correct technique to get into recovery/ download? If you keep holding the buttons down it will just keep cycling through boot as you describe. Did you release as soon as logo appears? Sounds like your hard reset interrupted the update and you're missing full boot partition or system partition. If your " hold down the buttons" was at fault and you do get into recovery etc maybe odin is the way forward... just a thought. Also your long press on power might be putting the tab in apx mode, have you tried that and then seen if it is visible to nvflash?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osbor:
more data;

i let the battery run down to zero after reading some technique to un-brick which required it, until i just read here about how recovery is when you let go of pwr+vol down right as the logo pops up, not waiting for the green android logo.

so, i plugged it in and tried that.

the result is;

it'll power up, show the battery charging image with the little loading circle (i guess it's fetching the battery status) but the battery status never loads. instead it flashes the galaxy tab 10.1 logo for a split second and then back to the black screen of death.

i'll attempt again when the battery has more juice
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osbor:
damn!

after letting the battery charge up some more i tried going into recovery again.

same problem;

hold down power and volume down (the side of the volume rocker closest to the power button)

wait for the logo to appear

as soon as "samsung galaxy tab 10.1" appears, i let go

but it STILL sits there for a second, then flashes the slightly larger boot logo before going to a black screen

damnit damnit! do i have a paperweight? i really want to punch whoever authored that update.

EDIT: a possibly related issue, i cannot turn off the tablet anymore. if i hold down the power button to turn it off, it just cycles back into a boot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Might wanna try my draining method, I posted it somewhere here, must be in page 3-4, Ill bump it up
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EhJay420:
I'm having a similar issue, basically everything the same except it doesn't go black after the logo comes up, the back light gets slightly brighter and the logo stays there. It also wont turn off, unless I have it charging then unplug it.. the update was interrupted by me accidentally going into recovery(at least I think it was. It could have just been by pressing the power down because I haven't done a system update before, so I don't know what all happens), then it went into download and was stuck on the odin interface. I did a hard reboot, and then it started buggering up. How does an update interruption brick your tab? What kind of person makes something that can do that.. lol.

OK! Problem solved guys, sorry for "spamming", lol. Just flashed it back to stock.. now to try different ROMs for the first time. Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boerxt:
hi

Coming from MildWild CM 3.9, I just tried to flash BCM ICS RC3.1U0 full rom.

Aroma installer asked to switch hboot to data++. So I did (before I had cm7r2).

Then flashing worked succesfully!

After rebooting from 4EXT to try out the newly installed rom I only got Black Screen and no bootup animation. Waited for more than 10minutes but nothing happened.

Has anyone else experienced these issues? Any Ideas why and how to solve?

thanks

also did full wipe and cleared dalvik
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MYREALILLUSION:
Sometimes we need to wait longer after reflashing...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kowi:
i got the same problem, so i tried to flash RC3.0update0 and it worked. after flashing RC3.0U0, i updated to RC3.1 & everything works fine :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boerxt:
ok I'll try

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryther:
Download the rom again and try to re-flash; maybe you have a corrupted rom file!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boerxt:
I dont think so, because aroma says everything successfull and there were no errors.

maybe the issue is due to changing hboot. I flashed the pb99img.zip via bootloader. this was also succesful because after that bootloader says hboot data++ (instead of cm7r2 previously). is this enough or do i have to do something else
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryther:
Have you tried to do a full wipe again using "wipe | format -> format all partitions" and do a fresh install?

Wich option did you set for m2sd?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kowi:
i switched from cm7r2 hboot to data++, just like you and faced the same problem. but flashing a previous rom-version fixed it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boerxt:
I wiped before hboot flash. cant remember if I also did after, but I choose the additional erase and format settings in aroma.

I used all the default settings regarding m2sd, launcher etc (didnt choose costumize in aroma)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryther:
Can you try to flash the rom using the custom method?

I've installed latest BCM few hours ago with:

Apex

Stock Browser

Play Store

Mount2SD

In M2SD config: Apps, Cache, Ext4, 768

Try this settings and report.

Edit: Use the Readahead for your SD, obiously :p

:mad:after being assured on a thread i started yesterday from two alleged verizon employees that ics was coming today at 3:01 a.m all i get is "device is up to date",anyone getting the ota yet
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xgshortbus25:
Nope just a up to date over Wi-Fi and a update can not be reached over 4g!!!

Sent from my Droid RAZR MAXX!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Lol calm down dont belive everything u read
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I'm completely stock 2.3.6, no root or anything. I haven't seen anything for an ota on my phone yet. I've been checking software updates every couple hours lol. It may start coming later today but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't come at all. It's Android, since when do they Google/manufacturers do things on a timely manner when it comes to official updates?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
I bet that there will be no ics today :-D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] projectvomit:
Don't we typically see some sort of "whats in this release" document from Verizon before any updates. I remember seeing them on all the updates even the last minor one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iguanad:
There was an internet during WW2?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] overclockxp:
The update is only for phones bought from Best Buy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iguanad:
The update is coming very soon. An ICS update has been leaked. There are multiple people posting that they received soak test invites. None have posted that it has started. The update will come a few days after the soak test starts if there are no major issues. I would be surprised if it was more than a few weeks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djerk:
so i'm being penalized for buying my phone from verizon????:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IdowhatIwant:
LOL +1 I knew there was reason I lived 20 seconds from BestBuy.. come to think of it, no matter where you live in SoCal you're 20 seconds from a Bestbuy..and a starbucks.:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] projectvomit:
I don't think it has to do with where you bought it. The DROID RAZR is a DROID RAZR. The only time it matters is GSM or carrier.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] navygtab:
Ice Cream Sandwich keeps my Droid RAZR cool....:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
L O L!!!

you believed me!?!?!?!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] overclockxp:
The screenshot is from Best Buy so phones bought at Best Buy will get the update today. Everyone else will have to wait. This is a perk for buying it from Best Buy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] projectvomit:
From what I understand the soak test was pulled do to a problem with the sideloading. They have to fix that issue before the soak testers can even test it. So who knows when we will get it now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HotShotAzn:
:rolleyes:

Sorry but I call BS. I doubt Verizon does phased rollouts based on ESN assigned to where you bought the phone. The overhead and expense of doing that is astronomical.

That and you have nothing to back it up besides wishy washy logic.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tbhausen:
Has xda degenerated from a place to really learn things and enhance the capabilities of our mobile devices to a cesspool of trolls and wannabee comedians, or is it just me?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] projectvomit:
I agree! A horse by any other name is still a horse.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
...Guys. If anything is going to start soon, it's just the soak. If you didn't get an invitation you need to just relax.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mataraty:
Agree, maar but the part of wannabee comedians is just you.. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djerk:
i am disturbed that someone would pose as a verizon employee then blatently lie about when an update comes out,i joined xda to get info and advise about the products and services i love not looking for"comedy".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmaher1023:
Don't be fooled by this statement! Best Buy is an authorized Verizon dealer. It doesn't matter if you get your phone from an authorized dealer or from a Verizon corporate store, they all get exactly the same support no matter if it's an update or a warranty issue. I have bought 2 Android phones from non-corporate Verizon stores (one being Best Buy ), and with both if, I had any issues, I had to either call Verizon tech support or go to a corporate store. I also got all the same updates at the same time as everyone else who had the same phone. Rest assured, people, when the update starts, it will come to you no matter where your phone came from!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
Am I the only one that thinks the "leak" earlier this week was the perfect way for Verizon to "soak test" a questionable update? Pretty much free on their end and a lot of willing guinea pigs. Seems like a pretty good way to found out there is a problem with "sideloading".

LOL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazym4n:
Amen. If I wanted "comedy" (if you can even call it that) I could just read blog comments.

Oh well, hopefully we will still see the update soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] overclockxp:
Ok, I'm kidding. I made up the part about Best Buy. People are getting so wrapped around an axle about an update that Verizon didn't even announce. The update will come when it comes. Somebody should make an app that checks for updates every minute.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazym4n:
No, but it is likely that a soak test could start soon, which Verizon would not announce.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
and im surprised that youre gullible enough to believe me when i say your device will get it at 3:01 :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bsweetness:
I needed a good laugh this morning, and this thread provided it. I love how people think they were absolutely entitled to get the update today, when nothing has been officially announced. Everything, beyond the impending soak test, has been based purely off rumor. Best Buy often doesn't have all of the correct information, and Verizon employees almost never have correct information about updates.

Take comfort in the fact that at least we know it's coming at some point, and probably sooner rather than later.

Ehh!

Hey I don't really care anyway! I like mine the way it is. I have used Honeycomb and ICS really dont like either for a phone I'll update when its available but don't car otherwise!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] razrman79:
This is very true about VZW employees...considering I'm one of them. We don't know anything usually pertaining to any updates, we find out at the same time as everyone else (which is by chance). So, I'm DEFINITELY NOT going to say when ICS is rolling out cause I don't know. But I hope soon!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Huey85:
why don't those who are constantly waiting for the update, go out and enjoy life, and when the update is eventually out, you'll be even happier and enjoy it even more rather than sitting around complaining and stuff about it not being released yet. Motorola never communicated a firm date to us to begin with.. you have built your hopes on third-party information.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
what is "life" youre talking about?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ectoplasmic:
He's being self-righteous, which is ironic as he participates in the thread.

Maybe the people posting about the update (or lack of it), are already doing exactly what they enjoy doing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djerk:
an unsolicated report on a trusted forum,the only thing i am complaining about is the few fools on here that don't understand the forum rules and think its cool to spread lies ,oh well i still love xda and my rooted razr!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
Heh heh.

Much more importantly, does this life have UPDATES? :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
I have just 2 things to say:

1) OP- I'm sorry you feel lied to, but I followed the thread that you received the 3:01 ETA for your OTA, and you should know by now that Verizon employees don't know what they're talking about 3/4 of the time, some don't know what ICS is, and NONE know when OTAs will roll out. It was pretty obvious he was goofin around.

2) We all assumed that Best Buy's internal email (not Moto or Verizon) rumoring that ICS may come today, MIGHT have a small amount of validity to it, but also knew it was just a rumor. I woke up early to check for updates, but deep down, I knew it wasn't there. The Soak test should have started today (I think) which is most likely what that rumor was actually referring to, which means we'll get our sammiches in the next week or 2, and hey, if you can't wait, you can always root, and run an ICS ROM!

We're all waiting impatiently, some of us since November. We'll get it, and hopefully the long wait will mean all the kinks were ironed out for a perfect RAZR ICS experience (unlikely, but I'm optimistic...).

Just my 2cents... Hope your day gets better! I'm off to root this bad mammajamma and get ICS on my own...

\\Carved into this thread with my RAZR//

http://android-gz.com
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
Based on ICS Roms thus far...

Based on the problems I've had with the 173-kernel-based ICS ROMs I've tried, an OTA ICS release - right now - is undesirable.

A lot of the ICS/173 ROMs have a) data issues, b) wifi issues, c) cam/video issues, d) voice issues, e) issues holding CDMA v GSM settings, and f) hotspot issues. The devs for those ROMs are quite talented and tenacious.

A lot of the soak testers and lucky folks who grabbed the leak report many of these very same issues with the soak/leaked bits.

While it's true that this is an apples/fishes comparison, it's also fair to assume that a first-release ICS build is going to be glitchy at best, and some of the all-important Big Red bloatware might not be polished. I'm not sure I want MY 'rm' command to touch unpolished bloatware; one should have standards.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aety9:
(lol)

Yes. Yes it does. :p

Also, anybody know if the ICS release will have that cool face unlock thing?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
i heard god dont give a glob about his customers .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] casaroli:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ltmcgill:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] matt.wolfley:
Cute comments about Verizon Wireless employees in this thread. So cute, it parallels the feelings I have for people who can't seem to be patient and realistic.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tbhausen:
Where are said issues being reported for the leaked ICS ROM? What I've seen has looked pretty favorable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
I'm new here. Noobs like me can't post links. Check DroidRzr's thread about the leak.

I ignore the posts about "flaky battery life". Some folks install some code and start nit-picking everything that they, personally, care about.

Everyone cares about battery life, and most of us are used to bugs showing up first as unusual battery drain.

The result: there will always be complaints of reduced battery life, even if all you really did was rename an unused JPEG on the SD card. People can be very like cattle at times. Amusing, goofy, and you wanna avoid the inevitable stampedes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
I posted this Monday. I have the ics leak and it is not ready to be released as an official ota. It does work great and I am using it but I am not new to android. That being said I do not believe that anyone will be seeing this for another 2-4 weeks AFTER moto ends the soak test to absorb feedback and fix issues. There are issues. Until verizon or Motorola says it then it doesn't make a **** what best buy says.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aety9:
well that's a downer...

I'd like a slimline Ubuntu Linux server in my pocket.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stunno:
Is that a slimline Ubuntu Linux server in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?

I'll make it $30
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IdowhatIwant:
Why get $25.00 for when I can get $5.00 for it? :D

Going to grab a device that's got ICS on it...this year... brb.

This whole fiasco, has been such a waste... Do judges and police officers really wonder why people get shot, or doused in gasoline and set on fire? , 20 small newborn kittens set on broil in the oven? or even a handful fuzzy baby chickens in a boiling pot of water? :eek:

This is why, bull**** and liars, at least for me. Update was sent to Best buy employees but not the customers... Last Motorola Phone. HTC and Samsung are out too, I'm running out companies that don't suck and bull**** their customers..

LG maybe? ZTE? I guess those are my two choices, otherwise it's cup and string :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aety9:
That rumored update from "best buy" was just that, a rumor. Motorola, Verizon, nor any other official channel ever confirmed that update window. (If you want a nice list of semi-reliable updates Click on this)

If your phone is working nicely then don't worry about it.

ICS WILL come. If the recent leak is any indication on a possible release date, then its safe to assume it will come soon. And if some Devs get their hands on the leaked OS (hint hint) then we may even see some updated ICS ROMS with working everything soon :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mrjinglesusa:
I don't understand why everyone is so upset about this. As has been said, neither Motorola nor Verizon EVER said the RAZR or MAXX were being upgraded to ICS today. All that has been CONFIRMED is that the RAZR and MAXX will be upgraded to ICS and it's in the planning and development stages.

Invites for a soak test went out. Big deal. The soak has to happen BEFORE general release. Since the soak test hasn't happened yet, no update is coming in the near future.

People getting their hands on the leak from Motorola's servers didn't help the situation. If fact, it probably hurt things as evidenced by Motorola having to REMOVE the update from their servers. If anything the soak test might have been delayed because of unauthorized people downloading the probable soak test build.

Be patient people. ICS for our RAZRs and MAXXs is coming sooner rather than later. At least they have a pretty decent build made that doesn't appear to cause huge problems.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Death Roe:
Agreed.

I just switched from Sprint, which has had MAJOR issues with ICS updates for the Epic 4G Touch, which is an effing sweet phone. I think their bloatware has had problems with the native ICS software.

I'd say we'll get the update May 1. Maybe sooner. They seem to burn through new versions of builds until it's nailed down as perfectly as possible.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blue_94_trooper:
You didn't get an OS upgrade for your phone and you're THAT upset?

I'm still waiting for my Electronic Funds Transer from a deposed African prince or I'm out $10,000!

I'm pretty sure that our background info came from the same sources though.
