[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] om0:
I am a newbie in android and rooting. i previously had sony xperia x8 which i had rooted and installed custom roms. i shifted to galaxy tab 2 months ago. i had a harrowing experience with rooting since last two days. let me tell you how it all started. i rooted my device to install titanium backup. it worked fine for few days . then i installed cmw recovery and it worked fine too. no issues what so ever. there were random FC's and hanging about once or twice a day.

Then all of sudden while browsing tablet hanged and it :confused:went into bootloop. i tried everything .. from factory reset to flashing firmware. it did not work. it was stuck on samsung logo. when i had lost all hope after about 2 hours or so it started working again. i got scared and unrooted the device and removed cmw.

for two days it was working fine. Then again i had this urge to root it . i rooted it . it worked fine for a week or so .. And then all of sudden it started having force closes . TW and google play and all other apps. i got scared and removed root and cmw again. this time however i decide to take it to service center. i did not tell them i had rooted and all . just told them i was having problem with reboots and all . they gave me full warranty. After two days i got a call from them that it was not booting and they have to replace motherboard :(

i asked them to return the tab to me for a night and i will give it back to them in morning since it was going to take two days for board to arrive. when i checked i found it was possible to go into download mode and not recovery mode. i tried flashing firmware via odin but it was stuck at factory.img.

i read somewhere in Galaxy note forum that it was superbrick bug and i had to use .pit file to repartition. i downloaded the file from google and repartioned it and installed firmware for my country via odin.

and it worked :D:D:D

Now my question is ....

Should i get a motherboard replacement or demand a new tab ? or is this tab ok now ? will i get such problems in future .

Superbick bug? Isnt that on leaked ICS kernels??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nicduim:
I had an issue like this a while ago it looked like my data partitions got corrupted. Just had to e2fs em

Well if they want to replace it, I'd let them. I personally don't think it was root and cwm causing your issues but that's just opinion
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
What is e2fs? And is the OP saying there's a solution to superbrick bug?

--thanks for tolerating my lack of familiarity with repartitioning mobile devices (i still get nervous repartitioning regular HD's)

Sorry tired but here is a link where to the thread I came across in the past

I did something similar to what was posted in here after checking the partition thread. Looks like it's mentioned in the link. Hope it helps. Will look it over later and try to find the exact steps I had done and looked up but it did help fix my loops and they're been gone for like 2 months.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] om0:
Superbrick ?

i dont know if my tab was stuck on superbrick or not

it was stuck on factoryfs.img while odin flash. i read this thread where it mentions that if a phone is stuck on factoryfs.img then its super brick. i followed the method mentioned in this thread to get it unblocked and it worked .

Nobody wants to ruin a $28 per square inch tablet, but I REALLY don't want to. So I'm just doing what research I can before the official ics update rolls out. It's looking alot sunnier knowing that the thing isn't DOOMED, even if samsung doesn't compensate for the superbrick bug...

i'd say they'd be fools not to, but we've all gotten real up close and personal with samsung and how they treat their customers with the release of the p6800, so....

Thanks ALOT guys for getting down into the trenches and figuring all this out.

I just want to know if the issues related to this rom are the same we all know, those things such; no video record, no codecs, menus fading away and stuff.

The known issues are the same? no improve on that?

Thanks.

CM9 Domination ROM
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
Most likely, as all ICS roms developed have the same issues. Remember there is

STILL

no hardware acceleration available for the O2X, so you just got to wait for LG to officially update to ICS (snooze...snooze...), or a developer "converts" the drivers from the Mimosa X to our phones.

Despite that, everything else should work quite nicely!
[LG Optimus 2x] RknDroidFreak:
Add hot reboot and occasional display freeze while scrolling, and you got a disastrous phone!!

Thanks NVIDIA for not releasing the sources!!
[LG Optimus 2x] aldyu:
Better stay with cm7.2 and wait until lg releases the ics for p990.. until then cm9 for p990 is incomplete..
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Well I'm using build 77 and am quite happy with it.

It is not as stable as cm7.2 - but I prefer the Android 4 UI over the stableness of Android 2.3. It does has it's hiccups, but apart from that is running good.

Everyone has to decide this for himself.

Help me after this
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] satanic666:
This happened because you flashed bravo recovery and not the 32a recovery.

follow the link provided by danger_tweaker post no. 4

everything is properly explained in and download your recovery "carz-clockworkmod-3.0.2.8-recovery.zip" only or if you are able to turn on device then download ROM Manager and flash recovery because htc magic are legacy(old,outdated) devices so file are removed from most of the sites.

BTW have you ever flashed the recovery???
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] satanic666:
I had searched for your recovery but all links are expired. View attachment 1161540 See if this recovery works for you. I had downloaded it long back :D and currently I don't have any previous version of carz mod :angel:, neither I remember its source link :rolleyes:. It is the same clockwork mod-carz-recovery only version is different v4.0.1.4 see if it flashes through fastboot :fingers-crossed:.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
That's not working because your command is wrong, you forgot one "recovery". He's telling you that there is no partition named "recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img" because the correct name is "recovery". The correct command would be

fastboot flash [COLOR="Red"]recovery[/COLOR] recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img

But i think you'll also get "FAILED (remote: not allow)".

I think you need to tell us what's written in your fastboot screen on the phone. Also a

fastboot getvar version-main

would be helpful.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
You get this error "FAILED (remote: not allow)" because of your SPL-version - it seems to be a perfect one, you can't flash your phone with commandline.

Show us what's written in your fastboot-menu (everything, radio, hboot and so on, everything you can see).

Also give us the output of

fastboot getvar cid

please.

When did you get this error "Incorrect CID"?

Do you have some other Android-phone? Then create your Goldcard with GoldCardTool (for example as explained here).

Which sappimg.zip did you try? Don't just take one without knowing if you can take it!

I can't open the screenshots you attached, sorry.

edit: You posted while i did - ok!

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

As i said, because of the SPL-version you can't flash with commandline. You have to use sappimg.zip or nbh. To flash those, the rom needs to have a higher version than the installed one.

Your main-version is 3.05.720.3, as you see here a higher version would be "3.05.861.2 Hutchinson Australia". To flash this you need the Goldcard - it lets you install roms of different providers.

Download that rom, copy it to your SD-card (Goldcard) and rename it to SAPPIMG.zip and try to flash it. If it still tells you "CID incorrect" your Goldcard isn't created correct or the SD-card doesn't work as Goldcard.

If you finished this we're going on. Just short:

When you're done your phone should boot the normal way. Now you need to get the correct rom for your CID on it - 39) 3.05.720.3 1.76.0009H 6.35.08.29 N HTC__038 is for your phone, it's that one 3.05.720.3 India.

You can't flash this as sappimg.zip because the version of this rom is lower than the installed one. You need to install a custom-recovery on your phone to be able to install any rom-version - to install this you need to root your phone (there are some tutorials on XDA). With the custom-recovery you're going to install the stock-rom and you're done. If you like to you can also install custom-roms on your phone - you just need to install a custom-recovery again to install that.

I'm not an expert - i just know what i read and experienced when i debricked my HTC magic. If somebody thinks i'm wrong with my suggestions, just tell! :laugh:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vijay2network:
Hi thx for ur quick reponse, The latest image what u said "3.05.861.2 Hutchinson Australia" is in ".exe" format

how do i proceed with it :-/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
You need to execute the RUU-file but you don't need to do something in that menu - just let it open. Open your temp-folder and search for rom.zip - maybe there are 2 different files. Copy it to another place and close the RUU-menu. That file is your sappimg.zip.

Otherwise have a look here at XDA for a better explaination. :laugh:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vijay2network:
As u said i found both the zips renamed and put them into Hboot mode. Same CID Incorrect error turned up :(

Gona try with my 8 GB card let me see wts gona happen

Also i can see still more higher version than this australian version (red] 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil + [SAPPIMG.ZIP format])

If u dnt mind let me know from where u found tht version of my main version as "main-version is 3.05.720.3"

Again thx for heads-up ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vijay2network:
:laugh: U r awesome man!!!! :laugh:

I have made it by flashing with "3.05.861.2 Hutchinson Australia"

How do i get rid of network lock now, Kindly provide me with the walkthrough for flashing with exact recovery & good custom rom to roll on

Attaching the screenshot of network lock http://www.image-share.com/ijpg-1594-188.html
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
Yeah, there are higher versions - but it's a good choice to take the next higher one. Because if something goes wrong and you need a higher rom than installed (and just took the highest one before) you don't get it working again.

You told me your main-version is

C:\Android>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: [B]3.05.720.3[/B]
finished. total time: 0.002s

and you're from india and also you told me your CID is

C:\Android>fastboot getvar cid
cid: [B]HTC__038[/B]♦
finished. total time: 0.001s

Having a look to the official-rom-thread:

39) [xda-ftp] [4shared] [B]3.05.720.3 India[/B]
39) [B]3.05.720.3[/B] 1.76.0009H 6.35.08.29 N [B]HTC__038[/B]

There you see your main-version, the CID and your home. ;)

Great! :good: I don't know why it's locked, but i think it's because this is just made for "Hutchinson Australia". :p

What you need to do know? As i said you have to root your phone to be able to install a custom-recovery - then you need to install a custom-recovery to install your stock-rom afterwards.

When you're done with this you can root it again, install custom-recovery again and try some custom-rom!

Have a look at this thread and start with step 0 - this shows you step by step how to root your phone and how to install the custom-recovery - all needed files are there! Download-links for "roottools" are just at the end of that thread - your antivirus may popup, i disabled mine. You don't need to do that optional-stuff! Be sure you type all commands correct and you use all the files which are for your phone-version! Double-check that!

Come back when you did that and are able to boot to recovery-mode by pressing home+power (custom-recovery should come up)!

you don't need to do step 8.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
I don't know, why the phone does not recognize your SD-card. Then maybe try MRU to flash the custom-recovery.

When MRU is downloaded your Antivir may also pop up, i disabled mine here, too - don't think it's virus and it worked for me. For the installation you also need "python-2.7.3.msi", thats' written in the thread.

Normaly you just need to install and start it - you did already root your phone with Androot, so you don't need to press "Temporär rooten" - just press "Recovery flashen" and choose the custom-recovery from the roottools-folder (Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img). Then just wait until it's finished (you can see the status of MRU at the bottom of the program).

Tell me if this worked and you can start the custom-recovery. Then we got to see what to do next. :D
