Hey folks,

I'm still running Juggz 4.x because it has been as stable as stock with extra goodies... Using a very stable/reliable build is important to me, since I'm basically on call 24/7 at work.... Removing the bloat and free features like teathering are important too though.

How long do we expect it to take before we see some stock/rooted/debloated/tweaked ROMs based on the release tomorrow? Also, How long before we'll see stable AOSP and AOKP builds?

I do realize I'm asking for speculation since nobody knows, but based off of past experience, we can take some guesses, right? :)

I'm dying to throw ICS on my phone, but most of the ROMs available have had enough issues to keep me from trying them.... But tomorrow I'm thinking about flashing the stock ROM immediately, then waiting for reliable/stable ICS ROM from one of our quality devs based on the new code.

So how long do you think guys?

If you are unsure, just wait.

I'd certainly recommend waiting especially since you aren't even on UVLDE.

To get a decent AOSP or AOKP, I'd say a week or two after source is released.

It will take a while to get a code merge done, but when it's done it's done.

Hello i am having an issue with UNLOCKING my optmius 2x from fido. i just bought it and decided to unlock it, so i went out and found the most well know site i could to buy a code and made SURE everything matched up and it all did and still DOES Now my problem is as follows-

I entered the nck code first the phone quickley rebooted and i threw a new rogers sim into the phone but i got no bars and the phone told me there was not network then switched to no sim.

Then i put a bell sim card into the phone with the same response nothing.. so i went and put the rest of the codes into the phone and they all gave me network unlock request unsuccessful and same with the nck one now as well.. and i do not know if it said that it work the first time as it was just a quick flash

Now i have been geting help from people down in the optmius 2x section of the fourms they told me i should revert to stock 2.2 and i did with the SAME RESULTS! i also tryed an ics rom and i could not even get to the sim screen.

Can any one help me on this problem? i am looking to use my phone and i am not able to at this time :(

The phone is now rooted and runing ics

let me know how i can fix this

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeeps13:
So last week I started to notice that my phone would not charge or connect to pc unless I rebooted. So I figured there something wrong with the the Rom, so I went and went back to stock with one click. I then installed DD with red recovery and AEON.. I still have the same problems not only that now my phone will not power up from when its shut off. It just shows an empty battery icon, but if I plug in the charger it will then show a full battery and turn on. When its on the battery shows that its 70%. If i unplug usb and plug back it will not continue to charge and will not connect either. I went out and bought a new battery and charger. Nothing changed. Any ideas or input would be appreciated??

thanks

Bad usb port on the phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jezz_vtec:
i'm a noob at this but bro it sounds like it may be ur usb connector.... maybe it got a little disconnect from the motherboard? maybe u have to solder it?? i hope u get it fixed bro
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeeps13:
I don't think it's the port . Because it will charge and connect to PC when rebooted with USB plugged in.. It's just that when I plug the USB with phone on it does nothing.. And it will not power on unless USB is plugged in.. Other than that it's fine using it right now to type this.. Maybe it's hardware related.. I guess I should start looking for my next victim
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jezz_vtec:
maybe try formatting usb storage?? goodluck. back up everything ;)

I am running CM9 and I was looking to switch to the Blaze 4G radio from the LC8 because I am not getting 4G. What are the proper steps to flash a new radio? Would I need to reflash the rom? Or do I just install the radio without doing anything before hand?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -greenboy-:
Just flash the radio zip in cwm recovery and then wipe cache using darkside cache wipe zip.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] electron73:
Oh that would be awesome! Are you rooted? Let me find the commands in the meantime, I read somewhere it's a simple one command in terminal to extract the recovery partition into a file on sd card...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] electron73:
WHAT AN ORDEAL !!!!

But in the end: SUCCESS!

I managed to get my tab updated with the Verizon OTA update.

The problem is definitely CWM !!! A rude awakening is in store for everyone with the P6800 CWM installed, because it a) fails to verify the checksum of OTA files correctly on the i815, b) it thinks the tablet is a P6800, so the OTA file fails to run if it assert checks for "SCH-i815" hardware AND lastly c) modem updates don't work because the device /dev/cdma_update doesn't exist, so the modem.bin firmware_update call fails !!!

In short, I had to fumble the OTA file apart and do the update manually in two runs:

First file, kick the checksum, hardware check and modem update out, then manually run the ZIP through CWM. The zip subsequently (LUCKILY) updated the stock recovery and overwrote CWM with a new fresh stock recovery.

Second file had everything kicked out BUT the modem udpate and LTE patch, so with the STOCK recovery this file ran through just fine, updated the modem and then applied the LTE delta patch.

Phew!!!

Of course I had to manually restore root after the update, had backed up with voodoo, auto restore failed, so terminal and hacking it was...

Now I have the tab running on clean stock FD01, baseband and LTE FD01, rooted and stock recovery.

No more CWM, no more "hacking" with the ROM until some dev finally releases a "correct" CWM and at least ANY factory ODIN image is available to bring the tab back to stock if needed!!!

Kinda sick of the non-support for this tab. So much going on for the Galaxy Note and pretty much every other device. I'm starting to regret having bought this "special" Verizon version :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nicduim:
Awesome find and great to know for whenever ics does come out. Could you please post the recovery img you got?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] electron73:
OK after getting so many responses I decided to just post everything here in hopes that it will help others, too:

All files are here:

http://www.mywo.org:88/XDA/sch-i815/index.php

Step by step procedure to update the Verizon Tab from ..FA02 to ..FD01 build IF YOU ARE stuck with CWM installed on your tab and the original OTA fails with errors:

Upload the SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.1.zip to the INTERNAL(!) SD card. This is important because CWM contains a bug that will only allow you to install from ZIPs stored on the INTERNAL SD storage.

Upload the SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.2.zip to the EXTERNAL(!) (micro SD) card. This is important, because after the factory recovery is restored, it will correctly (and only) look for ZIPs on the EXTERNAL card.

Best way just copy both files to both locations :)

Fire up CWM and do "install from ZIP" and select SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.1.zip

It should run (takes a while) and eventually tell you all is done. BOOT the tab. It should boot fine but in system it will show the new Android build FD01 but the baseband (radio) will still be the "old" one.

Now press and hold power and vol up again until you see the default Samsung recovery menu. Choose install from ZIP and select SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.2.zip. This will now upgrade the baseband only. When done, reboot and enjoy being back on the "factory upgrade path" with the tab.

I hope someone more savvy than me can "fix" CWM to work properly with VZW tabs (accept the checksum, not fail the check for "SCH-i815" and provide the correct /dev file links for radio upgrades). Until then, I recommend just leaving the tab as-is and not tinkering with the ROM. Not that there is any custom ROM available anyway :-(

I also pulled the NEW factory recovery image FD01_recovery.img with the following command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/FD01_recovery.img bs=4096

So in case anyone with a botched recovery wants to restore factory (Samsung 3e) recovery. This was actually the reason I had to go through all this... There is NO factory recovery image ANYWHERE to be found. I can't believe that I should be the first one ever to post one?? Anyway, hope it will help :)

I'm still quite new here, so I do really appreciate every click on that "thanks" button :p

P.S. for tinkerers and devs I also uploaded the original, untouched OTA file (0559c0e4e08e.update_SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.bin) as it came from Samsung or Verizon or whatever and ended up in the /cache partition.

Also want to say thanks. You rock, dude. I wouldn't have known how to revert **** on my own.

hmm i only ever installed ROM manager ... but i did root it ... problem is ... now i don't have a CWM recovery to flash the file ... any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] electron73:
You're in luck! You don't need to go through the whole ordeal because you do NOT have CWM! You can just update the regular intended way. Go into settings, about phone and then click check for system updates. If it presents you the OTA update, just do it the regular way.

My complicated "hack" is only necessary if you DO HAVE CWM installed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] phigmeta:
Im sorry I did not explain well what my issue is.

I do not have CWM installed, however i did delete a few appilcations using titanium backup. This causes updates to not take. I would really like to just take it back to factory and start over (this time with less stupidity on my part)

I of course would assume that once its at factory i can then install updates again.

Right now when i try i get the "!" droid sign and a reboot
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] electron73:
Hey :)

OK unless someone can tell us how to "make" an ODIN flashable ROM for you, here is what I would do (and please don't get scared because it sounds a bit convoluted).

First, you need to be rooted. This is obviously the case.

IMPORTANT since you don't have CWM installed yet, SAVE your factory restore.img before proceeding, this saves you a lot of hassle later!

Open the android terminal, type su (accept the prompt) and then type (or copy/paste)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/mnt/sdcard/factory_recovery.img bs=4096

Check that you have a "factory_recovery.img" file on your sd card now it should be about 8M big.

Now you're safe to install CWM from the forum, look for the other thread(s) where this is being discussed and follow the instructions for the P6800 "international" version with 3G. CWM Thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613638&highlight=cwm&page=3

Then (thanks to nicduim!) there is a full factory (rooted) CWM image floating around on the forums here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613638&page=6

Which I used to restore my tab to "almost factory" with the missing bloat apps back in place.

I have a copy on my server here: http://ww.mywo.org:88/XDA/sch-i815/ it's the "2012-05-06.22.48.58.ZIP"

unzip that and put the contents on your INTERNAL SD card in the folder clockwordmod. So on your internal SD you should have /clockworkmod/2012-05-06.22.48.58 and inside there the files boot.img, recovery.img etc.

Use CWM recovery to restore this backup. If you never used CWM before. Press power button and volume up and hold both until you see the menu screen with text. You can go up/down with the volume buttons (go slow, it's very laggy) and with the power button you "select" an option. Select the "restore from backup" option and point it to the only folder being offered, the 2012-05-06.22.48.58.

The restore takes a while, then reboot the tab. Now you're back to stock! Last thing you need to do is get rid of CWM again because in the end it's still a bit buggy and will prevent the OTA update from running properly.

Since you luckily have a backup of the factory recovery in form of that factory_recovery.img file, just install and open terminal again, type su and then type (or copy)

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/factory_recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096

This overwrites CWM with your original Samsung Android recovery.

Now you just reboot as usual, connect to the internet and wait until the popup message shows up that a system update is ready, accept it and enjoy :)

If you don't want to wait for the automatic OTA, you can also stop before killing CWM and use my convoluted 2-step manual update which will get you to the exact same condition as the official OTA.

Hope all this makes sense :-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] AlpineMan:
I was already on stock FD01 when I tried installing CWM for the P6800 that's floating around here somewhere. Odin said it was a success, but it looks like it didn't take. I've done it a few times, but still ended up w/ the stock recovery. However, after reading through your thread, I do not see a /dev/cdma_update in my I815 either. Is it possible that my attempt to install CWM (although unsuccessful) wiped out this file, among others?

Right now, I'm still at stock FD01 (rooted) and everything seems to be working. When I tried doing an OTA update, it just tells me that I have the latest update and no newer update is available.

One other thing, if I have to, I only have the stock recovery right now since CWM didn't take, can I simply flash both zip's using the Samsung stock recovery to put everything back in stock?

SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.1.zip

SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.2.zip
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] electron73:
Oh wait, so you are saying that in "About device" your Android is 3.2

Baseband i815.04 V.FD01 I815FD01

and your Build number is already at HTJ85B.I815FD01.SCH-I815.I815FD01 ?

That would mean you are already updated. In this case, it should be pretty easy to fix your problem. Which apps did you delete with Titanium? I can back them up from my system and make them available for you. All you'd need to do is drop the backup files into your Titanium backups folder and then fire up titanium and restore them!

The /dev/cdma_update node is only required WITHIN CWM recovery, so that is nothing for you to worry about. The zip files above won't help you because they are incremental updates requiring your system to be at FA02, not FD01 !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] AlpineMan:
Yes... I'm already in the latest update. I already backed up the bloatware using Titanium Backup before uninstalling. So I just need to restore them back in order to receive and apply OTA updates in the future?

Please Help

Hi. I'm rooted and removed all sorts of bloatware with Titanium. I did this a long time ago and did not back anything up because I'm used to running hardware with custom ROMs available, and not relying on OTA updates.

Since there aren't any custom ROMs for the i815, I'd like to get ready for the upcoming ICS update. To do so, I want to get FD01 loaded onto my device, but I can't update because I've apparently removed too much of the required bloatware.

Does anyone know WHAT pieces of bloatware I'd need to reinstall in order for the OTA update to apply? I'd assume I can restore them and then apply the update and re-root.

If anyone can help pinpoint what missing APKs might help, I'll give them a shot. And, to the extent I figure anything out, I'll repost here in the hopes that it helps someone else.

electron,

Your instructions worked ... thank you so much
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] smitty78:
@jkrell... the failed attempt at installing the update should return an error message(s). You just have to read through them until you find the culprit(s). Apparently I uninstalled a few odexed files that were needed. I couldn't update until i hunted them down and restored them.

I guess we all jumped at the opportunity to install the cwm recovery image, that we didn't even think about cmda updates....ooops. So far i had to do a complete factory restore after the update. I was getting soft bricked to the point where I had no choice. Good thing I sent all titanium backups to actual sd card, i was able to salvage 97% f my data..... with the exception of a few downloads i forgot to move.

Gamecih doesn't work anymore (either version). No more automative data hacks :( I'm not sure what's going on. I uninstalled adfree..used titanium backup to uninstall both versions and reinstalled both several times. Oh well.

It really sucks not having nandroid backups but it's not worth the trouble of having to do this everytime an OTA modem update gets pushed to my tab. Needless to say, I won't be odining the cwm based recovery image again.

I'm with the O.P. I wish i hadn't wasted my money on this tab. No true cwm for this tab, so no dev will ever waste thier time with this tab. The sch i815 will soon be forgotten about and some other tablet will be all the hype before summer ends....that's just how it is. 21 months left on my contract.... F@#k my life. Lol
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jkrell:
Thanks Smitty.

When I try to update, I just see the "!" logo and then the device reboots. Is there a log file somewhere I can look at to see what the errors are?

I hear ya on the gloom and doom, but this device has only been out for just over 3 months now. I'd expect a recovery and some custom ROMs to come eventually. I doubt I'll go the custom ROM route unless CyanogenMod is supported, because I have no complaints about the tablet's performance thus far. It's speedy, smooth and the battery lasts forever.

In my book, this is a great tablet and I'm satisfied with the purchase.
