That damn yellow triangle, been there before. You may as well backup all you can to your actual micro sd card, un-root and do a factory restore before installing ota update. It might set you back a couple of hours but not the worst thing.

You may have to set the permissions in /etc folder while rooted to allow any media files to be placed there. (if you havent already). There is more info on how to do this here on xda.

I hear you on the speed and battery life of this tablet, which was the sole reason I bought it. It doesn't disappoint here. Its a ferrari on a go cart track right now, however. As for tinkering around with tweaks... I've managed to soft brick this device more times in the last month than I ever did with any device I ever used, my own fault i admit. I didnt worry about it much with the 6800 recovery. Now it's a different story.

I hope i am wrong. Its just not a huge market for this tablet and the competition is crazy right now. On the other hand, those that do own this tab are believers in its potential. It only takes one person to make a difference. Until then, we are back to waiting for ICS. Oh joy....not like it doesnt have its fair share of quirks. Id take cm9 or alien rom any day of the week.

***EDIT*** I just noticed the locerra's thread. I urge anyone that wants to see some development for this tab donate.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jkrell:
Yeah, planning to donate a few bucks to him on my next payday.

I will start restoring system apps a handful at a time until I get the OTA update to take. I don't really care about FD01, I just want to be ready when ICS hits (hopefully in July with the other Galaxy Tabs).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] reverendbill:

Uninstalled App

I have sort of a similar issue with the yellow !, and it looks like it's because i uninstalled an application. I'm still on FA02, and I uninstalled Social Hub without making a backup or anything. From my research it looks like I'll be able to install the OTA update to FD01 if I can restore Social Hub..? Would it be possible for any one of you guys to help me out with a backup file or something so I can restore this app? Thanks in advance guys.

This has been resolved. Thanks all! I went ahead and followed the long guide in this post with a few alterations of my own.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] johnd603:
This is a FANTASTIC thread - thanks to the OP and all.. However, while I have the VZW TAB running now - it still won't recognize the modem?? I must have really messed something? In the "About Device" all is good except for:

Hardware Version: Unknown

Baseband Version: Unknown

All the rest is running fine - wifi, the system, etc...

I've tried using ODIN to flash the modem files when the Factory Restore wouldn't finish processing the file: SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.2...

Also - CWM fails on the SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.1 file, so I used CWM to reinstall the full system image (2012-05-06.22.48.58)

I've done all this multiple times, too - with the same results..???

I'm guessing my LTE Modem is hosed - or my file structure..? I dun'no - but any thoughts and/or suggestions would be GREAT!

Again - thanks to the OP and all for your suggestions in this thread!!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
What version of CWM are you using?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] johnd603:
I tried the following:

5.0.2.7

6.0.0.7

And there was another version I tried from one of the posts in the thread? But - it was a 5.X CWM version as posted in a thread here in XDA regarding the VZW 7.7..? (Yep - I did do a seach for several days ;) ) If you have a specific suggestion - I'll give it a try, tho'..!

Many thanks for the assist and reply!

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] okashira:
Hey all,

I am having difficulty restoring using the nandroid that's floating around. I placed the 2012-05-06.22.48.58 folder under /clockworkmod/

as well as

/clockworkmod/backups

and did the same thing for internal and external sd card.

I get the following error everytime:

Couldn't open directory.

No files found.

I have tried all 4 restore options. same error. I even flashed an older version CWM that was used to create the original nandroid (from may 2012) and that still didnt work. I have since reflashed the newest CWM.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
Here's what I did:

1. Copy 2012-05-06.22.48.58 to \sdcard\clockworkmod\recovery

2. CWM 6.0.1.0 Wipe: System, Data, Cache, Delvik Cache

3. Restore from CWM

4. Copy SCH-I815_FA02c_ToFD01.1 to \sdcard\download

5. Update via CWM

6. Reboot

7. Copy SCH-I815_FA02c_ToFD01.2 to (external sd card)

8. Update via CWM

9. Flash FD01_recovery.tar (via Odin 1.85)

10. Factory Reset
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] okashira:
I have not tried it in /recovery. Ill try that.

Have you tried to get the ICS OTA yet?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] caseyatbt:
Are those files located in one place?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] okashira:
Turns out that you have to have actually completed your own nandroid backup at some point for it to recognise a foreign backup. Once I did a backup of my current CM10 install, it recognized the stock backup.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
I have tried but I get a message indicating that it's "up to date". The original poster of the announcement indicated, I think, that the notice appears about a week before the update is made available. I would like to see the source of the original, not just the one on Android Police.

---------- Post added at 05:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

My mistake. Let's try this again, those were notes I was typing when I did the nandroid recovery the first time a few months ago. These instructions should be a bit more organized now:

1. Copy SCH-I815_FA02c_ToFD01.1 to external microsd card

2. Copy SCH-I815_FA02c_ToFD01.2 to external microsd card

3. Copy nandroid backup 2012-05-06.22.48.58 to \clockworkmod\recovery to external microsd

4. Copy FD01_recovery.tar to the computer.

5. Insert microsd into the Tab 7.7

6. Boot to CWM recovery

7. In CWM 6.0.1.0 Wipe: System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache

8. Restore Nandroid backup from external microsd via CWM

9. Flash external sd zip SCH-I815_FA02c_ToFD01.1 via CWM

10. Reboot, recovery should be stock.

11. Flash external sd zip SCH-I815_FA02c_ToFD01.2 via Stock Recovery

12. Reboot into download mode

13. Flash FD01_recovery.tar via Odin 1.85

14. Reboot normally

15. Factory Reset through settings
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] trdpatrick:
I think this method screws up the last OTA before ICS. I restored with the NANDROID backup from electron73 as well as restoring the stock recovery using the terminal method. It installs FD01 via OTA perfectly after that (even temp unroot before just in case) but I get the droid exclamation screen when installing the 29.3mb OTA (FH10?) Reboot and it says I'm already up to date...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
I might update the tab if I get the ota to see how I can help. When i get home in a few mins I'll get crackin'
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
I wonder if locerra has an image.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] unremarked:
If you do the Applications > Google Framework > Stop > Clear Data a couple of times, the 29.3mb OTA will pop up again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] td1320:
Yes but it keeps erroring out when it goes to Odin to install. I've tried re-installing that update I know 15 times since 6:00PM last night. So far only one forum member has got past the first 29.3mb update. There must be something wrong with it. Hope they fix it soon and don't drag this into another month or two.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
So with stock recovery there is no way to see the ui print out of the update. What about in terminal emulator can you type the lines of code to see what returns? Particularly I'm talking about the patch SHA1 checks for all the files it's going to patch. I compared most of the SHA1 of those files on my mine a most are correct several do not match and some I can not has with has droid because the it says it cannot read them.

You will not find many CM7 builds, because Sensation was not an officialy supported CyanogenMod Device at the time.

I believe only Alpha builds were released, due to CM9 approaching.

Cheers.

I know that it is only alpha, but it is A LOT more stable than the CM9 Nightlies out there. The audio routing going on with ALL of the roms for CM9 is just where I draw the line.

I've been using CM7 and I love it. Never found an issue.

I'll download this rom and check it out for the sake of curiosity.

If you're only looking for the CM experience but don't mind the HTC base being used for that but only stripped to achieve that, you can also try HyperNonSense. It doesn't have driver issues as the base is HTC's. I do have to say I haven't use CM in a while so it might be all bugs are eliminated with respect to WiFi, tethering and bluetooth eg.

GPU

Does anyone know why the GPU performance

is considerably worse on gingerbread ROMs

compared to ICS?
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Could be because of the drivers, the 213 and 218 difference, see this thread for more information on the drivers. In short, 218 seems to be a lot faster than 213. There were some issues related to the drivers however, eg. Skype and Istagram were troubling. Not sure on the current status on that though.

Hey all,

I was intending to ask this question in the Android Revolution thread, but on account of my new-ness, the system wants me to ask it here. That said, I did search the thread for keywords, and it doesn't look like anyone has discussed / addressed this issue from the angle I'm inquiring about.

(Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849&highlight=encryption)

Basically, I've read a lot of people talking about not wanting to have to enable whole device encryption on their phones, and it appears that there was some complication with how Exchange policies tried to force them to. I'm approaching this from the opposite perspective. I want to enable whole disk/device encryption on my phone, and I'm wondering if, and if so why, the feature is removed in ICS roms.

I'm a bit of a security freak, and whole disk encryption is something I'd like to have on the phone. So is this something that has been taken out intentionally (implying that there's no demand for it, and a rom won't likely bring it back), or is it just a compatibility issue (suggesting that someone might be working on it, and I just need to sit tight).

I'd finish by noting that I've never really had much success getting a response on XDA. If I'm approaching this wrong, please tell me.
[HTC Sensation] Hexgore:
Did you manage to sort this in the end?

It seems that HTC have removed this feature from the stock ROM for no real reason other than to force you to update to a newer phone if you want it.

I can't even S-OFF mine with Revolutionary so if I just had a patch to enable this feature on the stock ROM (I have the HTC Dev unlock working fine) that'd be excellent.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
Nope, unfortunately not.

Nobody seems to have (or want to share) an explanation to this issue. To be frank, I find it somewhat odd that there has been complete silence on an issue that is so fundamental to mobile security.

But, as mentioned, no luck figuring this one out. I'm using Revolutionary now, it works great, but no whole disk encryption.
[HTC Sensation] Hexgore:
No one cares about security around these parts by the looks of it.

CM9 has disk encryption apparently, as should any ICS ROM not based on Sense 3.6. I have the latest HBOOT but I've just found a guide which should help me run CM9 on my phone anyway, so I'll give that a shot and see what happens :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
yes..try other roms..as the stock ICS roms and custom sense ROMS didnt have this feature afaik

so mobile security is your concern and if it is a must have thing

you can flash cm9 as you said it has that feature

and also with just unlocked bootloader and 3.32 firmware you can flash any custom rom ..and i think i no need to link the guide to you too as it seems you have already found it

good luck :)

Got CM9 running fine but the data encryption doesn't work at the moment. I just get a picture of an Android robot in half and nothing happens. Hopefully this will be fixed for the upcoming release candidate, we will see.
