[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Those messages tell me that you have a 1.2 bootloader now, but, your recovery is still 1.1-based. So now, you'll have to load a version of CWM with a 1.2-based kernel: one of CWM-3.0.2.8rev5, CWM-4.0.1.5 (1.2 bl version), or CWM-5.5.0.4Beta15.

And, you'll have to load recovery using nvflash, like this:

1. Put the gTab into APX mode (for nvflash) by first powering it off, then powering it on by pressing both the Power button and the Vol [-] key. The splash screen with the 3 birds should appear, and then the screen should go blank.

2. Run this command to determine the partition no. of the recovery (SOS) partition--usually, it is 9: Open a CMD.exe window, then change into the directory containing both the nvflash.exe and the bootloader.bin files. Then run:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B].\nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --getpartitiontable p.txt[/B]

3. Now look through the p.txt file for a partition named SOS. Assuming, now, that the partition no. is 9, load the new recovery image using nvflash:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B].\nvflash -r --download 9 [I]C:\SOME\PATH\recovery.img[/I][/B]

You can get the recovery.img file either from any of the various CWM zip files on the board, or, use one of the image files themselves. Make sure the image is for the 1.2 version of the bootloader, though.

4. After the command completes, power off the gTab, and try to boot into recovery mode as usual.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmanalo:
Thank you so much for your help!! :)

I followed your instructions and I'm still getting to the same point with the same messages. I verified that I am using an img file for 1.2 bootloader. Actually, I've tried 2 different ones.

I looked at the p.txt and there is a SOS partition and I checked the .cfg file and it lists SOS as 9. I even tried editing the cfg file and changing the name of the file called out in img9 to recovery.img (the CWM recovery image) and ran the complete NVFlash update. It rebooted into normal tablet mode just fine. I shut down and tried booting into recovery and it still doesn't get past those messages.

Is it possible that the partition is corrupt? If so, how do I go about restoring it or creating a new one? I've seen instructions for using CWM recovery but I can't get to it. Can bit be done with NVflash or another utility?

thanks again,

Lanna
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
I would avoid a complete nvflash if at all possible. Otherwise, you risk turning a simple problem--like this one seems to be--into a major headache. The commands I gave are safe because they only read stuff and operate on single partitions--so they won't make your problem worse.

1. Which nvflash package did you use?

2. Which version of recovery did you load with the ``--download'' command I gave before?

3. Can you post the p.txt file?

4. Also post the *.img that this command produces somewhere so I can take a look at them:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B].\nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --read 4 ebt.img --read 9 rec.img --read 10 lnx.img[/B]

Since you're now on the stock ROM you can load recovery only using nvflash--see last post for the command to be used. On rooted custom ROMs you could have used other commands to reload a recovery image.

5. In the stock ROM what TapUI version is displayed in Settings?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmanalo:
1. Which nvflash package did you use?

nvflash 1.2

2. Which version of recovery did you load with the ``--download'' command I gave before?

cwmod v_08

3. Can you post the p.txt file?

4. Also post the *.img that this command produces somewhere so I can take a look at them:

Ive posted them on dropbox but I don't have enough posts on the forum to be able to include the links. Suggestions?

5. In the stock ROM what TapUI version is displayed in Settings?[/QUOTE]

1.2 - 4349

Thanks again,

Lanna
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
No need to post your files. It's as I suspected: your bootloader is 1.2, but, you're trying to run a CWM with a 1.1 kernel on it (cwmod v_08).

See post #2 above and get the correct 1.2 versions mentioned there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmanalo:
IT WORKED!!!

Now, what ROM do you suggest for 1.2?

Thanks so much.

Lanna
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
That's up to you really. There are a range of 1.2-based ROMs from Froyo (Android 2.2) all the way up to ICS (Android 4.0.4) to choose from. Read the recommendations other people have made on the board when similar questions have been asked.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssummerlin:
Hello rajeevvp,

I tried using NVFLASH to unbrick my device, but I get an error message, "USB Device not found".

I updated the APX driver. I can hear a system beep when I plug in my device and then go into APX mode. I tried download.bat and also the nvflash string. Still says no USB found.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks for any help with this. I have been pretty lucky up to the point of bricking my device.

Thanks Steve.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvmedina20:
same problem.

I have the same problem. I can boot into my custom ROM without a problem (running Smooth_Bean), however, when i try to boot into recovery mode (pressing power and vol+) my gTablet gets stuck on the "recovery key detected" "rebooting recovery kernel image" messages. I tried getting the table and got the p.txt file but its corrupted or something, I tried opening the file with different programs and different code languages but I could not for the life of me figure out which partition is the SOS located in. Thanks in advance!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
If you can boot into a rooted ROM, then you can use the flash_image program to write to a new recovery:

1. Copy the file containing the recovery image (some filename.img) to the SD card.

2. Open a Terminal Emulator window and type these commands (only the stuff in bold):

$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]/system/bin/flash_image recovery [I]/SOME/PATH/filename[/I].img[/B]

The file is OK--it's just in binary format. The nvflash program you used has created a binary NAND partition table layout file instead of the usual plain text one. The SOS partition is still #9 as per that file.

Try a different nvflash program the next time.

Hey Guys I'm getting a Galaxy Note (White) and I want a good Case that has the following:

-Slim, with little bulk

-White Preferably but can be different

-Raises screen from flat surface

-Covers Buttons Preferably but doesn't have to

-All around good protection and can take a fall!

If anyone has a case or knows of a case like that please feel free to leave a comment!

Thanks for the Help!:)

I have that case and absolutely love it. It's not too thick 3mm? I have no idea. But the tpu sides make it easy to grip and the frosted plastic back gives it a nice look imo. Cut outs are PERFECT too. pressing the side buttons can be a little hard sometimes though, but I usually use the home button to wake the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] eliter1:
I have been using a Rearth Ringke Slim since day one and I love it, especially since it has plugs for the charging port and the headphone jack. The screen protector they include is pretty good as well. It's a bit on the expensive side but I think it's worth it. The bottom lip was a millimeter or two off and they sent me another one. I think the white on white looks beautiful.

I can also second the SGP Ultra Capsule White. It does all that you ask for. The build quality is fantastic where the cut-outs for ports are near perfect. Bright white colour with a slightly glossy look.

i'm also looking for this kind of case, can someone confirm whether the SGP Ultra capsule white is a finger print magnet due to its glossy surface?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gedster314:
I have the Boxwave White TPU with Frosted back case mentioned earlier. It's a nice case but a little thick. The back is pretty touch and is thick enough so that the camera glass is protected.

My biggest complaint is that it picked up blue stains from a pair of new jeans. Took a couple of weeks for the blue to disappear from the case. After about 3 months, the tpu sides are starting to have a very slight yellowish color to them. Tried scrubbing it with Comet Cleaner but did not help.

I also agree that the volume and power buttons can be a little difficult to push and the volume buttons kind of creak, its the TPU rubbing against the the button.

It's not my favorite case I've owned but I'm also not in a hurry to replace it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Heronization:
Thanks for the feedback! After posting this a lot of people say White Cases turn yellow or start to stain... So I think I am going to go with a Capdase Alumor Metal case instead! Thanks!! you just saved me from a crappy purchase!:)

I'll take a GS2 to my country (Brazil) and I don't want to get there and find out that I'm stuck with a nice phone but that will not work properly, will not have updates and will not have parts for it, including nobody wanting to buy it as well.

I know that Cianogen supports AT&T, for example, but none of the others. So, accordingly to knowledge AT&T is the closest thing to the standard I9100, but it doesn't mean that I'll be able to have all the privileges of a I9100. I'm looking for the closest thing to the I9100 that I can buy, since all US variants are always 30-50% cheaper than the International version.

Thanks, though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Get the I9100. Plenty of custom firmware. Most common variant. Should work with most networks in most parts of the world.

Parts ? What have parts got to do with anything ? Your phone breaks or doesn't work, you send it in to Samsung/an authorised repairer for warranty service or take it to a mobile repair shop if it's out of warranty.
