Please anyone..
[Defy Themes and Apps] N3X29:
but... didn't works on cyano/miui, why u want that?

anyway, try HeLauncher2
[Defy Themes and Apps] jayanth1255:
Because its fastest and beautiful.. Its also having 5 home profiles too..
[Defy Themes and Apps] jayanth1255:
Yes, I tried Moto Blur Home, it dint worked so sad :(:(
[Defy Themes and Apps] ppero196:
Use He2launcher (or something like that)

Go to prefernces and find Blur theme

Here's the link: http://db.tt/Mm6n6vdB
[Defy Themes and Apps] merhans:
You can use he blurhome launcher only in the stock rom, because it need blur framework. Its similar to sense. There are only themed sense launcher, too.
[Defy Themes and Apps] ppero196:
2Helauncher works even on ICS (CM9)
[Defy Themes and Apps] merhans:
Sorry i thought you want the original blurlauncher and not a themed one.
[Defy Themes and Apps] jayanth1255:
Thank you He launcher is nice :D:D:D, its having blur theme but its not blur and i am happy wit that.. Can you tell me how to replace default home trebulent launcher.. Just to delete that app in apps and add this in system>apps?
[Defy Themes and Apps] ppero196:
When you hit home button tick the "make as default" checkbox and press on the launcher you want
[Defy Themes and Apps] jayanth1255:
Sorry I mean can i replace this on trebluent launcher by deleting and replacing this in system>apps..

But this is crashing everytime...
[Defy Themes and Apps] jayanth1255:
Yes i am looking only for original launcher not the themed, but i felt this launcher is better than our default CM9 launcher, but this is crashing every time finally uninstalled it..
[Defy Themes and Apps] ppero196:
No! Go to settings>apps>trebuchet and clear defaults, then repeat the process i told you above

So, this happened recently, and I fixed it. Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1735119

Well, outta no where, same basic issue, but with a twist.

This afternoon while I was asleep my GTab rebooted. It came back to the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" splash screen and is stuck. I *can* get into download mode, and I can almost get into recovery. When I try to go into recovery, it loads what looks like it will be recovery, then says:

# Manual Mode #

-- Updating Application

Then a minute or so later it reboots right back to the GT7+ splash screen and stays there...

Twist:

So, knowing what I did last time, I installed Odin and the Samsung drivers on my POS computer at home, booted into Download Mode, and did the "PDA" option with the correct FW (same as I used last time for the T869 from SamMobile, I saved all the files). It runs through just fine, gets to the end and the Tab reboots. It then goes into recovery and and does a few things (I believe it said it was deleting the cache and a few other processes). Then, lastly, it again says:

"# Manual Mode #

-- Updating Application

... followed by a reboot, and back to hanging on the boot logo.

Any ideas?!? Ironically, I put it on CL today to see if I can sell it for enough to cover a Nexus7. I woke up to an offer, and a bricked Tab. Figures.

Any thoughts/help are greatly appreciated. The sooner the better. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Is it possible that I need to flash a good recovery in Odin? If so, what's the procedure. and can someone link me to the one I would need for the US TMobile 4G version of the GT7+?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Also, since flashing the stock FW isn't fixing anything, and it seems like a possible Recovery issue, a friend at work is suggesting I choose the option in Odin to delete the partitions.

Thoughts??? (quickly)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
Damn dude, again?

I think there is 3 or 4 threads about this on this forum and same amount on 7.7 forum. None come to a cause our solution, seems like people repeats some procedures and out of nothing it works again.

When it happened to me a let its battery drain fully to the point it won't turn on anymore let it this way for some time. Then fully charged, this is a little harmful to your bat, for the record. Then try to turn on, it will take some time but eventually it could enter on the system.

I think the data partition got corrupted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Yup. :(

So, I tried the option in Odin to re0make the partition, and every time I try it fails with an error of "Can't Open Package" (or something along those lines).

I have reinstalled the FW through Odin no less than 10 times, nogo. The first time I open recovery after flashing, It says it is installing a package, clearing cache, etc, and the last line always says "-- Updating Application". After 10-15 seconds, that goes away and it reboots only to hang on the GT7Plus splash screen again. Then, any time I go into recovery after that first post-Odin instance, if says:

"# Manual Mode #

-- Updating Application

Should I be trying to reinstall Recovery? If so, what do I use (link)? Also, how do I do that in Odin...

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
I believe that for use remake partition you have to provide the pit file if your stock does not have it.

Anyway I did that also about 3 times, providing the pit and the md5, they flashed ok, but the problem was the same. Did you tried the battery thing? Some guy give a tip to start with the usb plugged.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Where was that tip? Link?

Also, any one have that .pit file I can try with?

Hey buddy..

Which fw u using? T869 came shipped with 2 different, search for both of them and try each one...don't use repartition without the correct pit file...

Maybe not here but I google sgh-t869 factory and found a website with both tar
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
I'm not sure which file it is that I'm using, I'll have to look at home in a couple of hours. This happened to me a few weeks ago (link in original post), and I flashed this FW with Odin and it recovered, and has been fine since (till now), so I know it's at least a usable FW. I'll try to find the other one today.

I just tried finding the stock pit file for the TMo SGH-T869, but I can't find it. Anyone have a link to it by chance? Also, once I get it, what do I do (options to choose) in Odin to flash it?... and do I do it at the same time as the FW?

Thanks for any help! I was really hoping to sell it in the next day or two to fund the Nexus7, so now I'm really frustrated. :(

ETA: Also, I let it completely die, to the point it wouldn't boot. Then charged it for a bit and booted. Same issue. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] statuzz:
I think that if u find the pit file they should be flash at the same time...fw in pda and pit in phone...(this need to be check to confirm) after flashing.. reboot into factory recovery wipe everything and try to boot

Hopefully u fix that today :)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
When it happened to me, i flashed the pit first and at the same with stock with re partition checked, didnt help. I did everything that I could find and I feel like it only worked again by itself

You can look every single thread of this exact problem, the ones that got it back working can't really say how, they flash everything many times and it suddenly works.

The good things are that flash the stock ones don't increase you flash count, and as long as you can enter download mode you are not really s#%
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Thanks for the help...

Anyone have a link to the .pit for this model (T869)?

Also, I had a thought. When I go into Recovery, I get the following and then it reboots again:

# Manual Mode #

-- Updating Application

1. Is it possible that recovery is hosed, and overwriting it with a fresh version will allow me to wipe the device, set to factory and then boot? Maybe this is the issue?

2. Is it even possible to just flash a fresh copy of the recovery over whatever is there (or replace it)?

2.a. If it is possible, what file should I use, and do I do it though Odin? Anyone have a link to what I should use?

Thanks :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] statuzz:
The problem is that there's is not development for t869 so there's not much to look for...just factory images and root method :(

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Can anyone link me to the proper pit file? Also, in the linked thread a few posts back, there are a couple of files, will those work for this?

Can someone post the proper pit file for me so I can repartition? I'm doing this on my wife's phone because my internet at home is down till tomorrow... :(

Lastly, recovery. Since when I go into recovery it says "manual mode" then reboots, can I replace recovery only? Then I can wipe and whatnot in it and maybe that will do the trick. If so, can someone link me to the proper recovery and tell me how to do it in Odin? What happens if I watch the FW flash, then right after it completes the recovery portion, I unplug it? Bad?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] statuzz:
i think u should forget about the pit file, couz the firmware have the pit repackage with the tar, im gussing u will only need the pit file in case u want to change the phone partitions, try to get those 2 fw and try them :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
That's why I'd like the pit file, so I can check the option in Odin to re-partition.

So, I have internet at home now. I have now tried again letting it completely die, then completely charge, same issue. I have also tried 2 different versions of the SGH-T869 firmware.

Any thoughts?

Also, given what I have done so far, I posted this yesterday, any thoughts?

"Lastly, recovery. Since when I go into recovery it says "manual mode" then reboots, can I replace recovery only? Then I can wipe and whatnot in it and maybe that will do the trick.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Yes. Unplug is bad. Possibly fatal. you should be able to.find a stock recovery.img in a stock Odin.tar, flash it with heimdall. Recommend factory reset beforeand after doing so.

I dont know about tmobile tabs but international ones look to apply CSC files after displaying that manual mode message. Perhaps something has gone awry with a CSC,etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Thank You. A few questions:

Would that stock recovery.img have to be model specific. i.e. for the SGH-T869, or could it be from any GT 7 Plus (or is it generic on all devices with HoneyComb)? I *think* from experience it has to be T869 specific, but it's worth asking.

Also, about Heimdall, where do I get that, and how do I use it to flash? I've heard of it, but never used it.

Lastly, about the CSC files. That makes sense seeing as what it's doing, so that *could* be the whole issue. How can I overcome that? Can I download and flash those files somehow? Do you have a link to them?

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm hoping that in doing all this, maybe whatever ends up fixing this will be a guide for everyone else having the issue... :o
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
OK, I saw a couple of you guys mention the 7.7 people having this issue, so I went there to research. If I am reading right, it *sounds* like this could be a solid mix of a data system being corrupted, and the stock recovery (Samsung e3?) being bad.

Someone mentioned that you can pull the stock recovery.img from a the firmware, make a .tar with only that, then flash that. Once that's done you can do a full wipe in recovery, flash the full FW, and hopefully be back in business.

I want to try this, and if it works, maybe we will have a proven solution for the people getting this issue. However, not only have I never created a .tar, I have especially never created a flashable .tar, so...

What do I do? Other than pulling the recovery.img from the FW, how do I do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
that was my next suggestion, I would say likely data partition corruption slightly due to brickbug, or could be anything really. Corrupting recovery would be a bit more difficult to do.

even if you have to adb in recovery and try to format that way, if its possible. try as many possible ways to wipe.

I would say you should go with a tmobile recovery, earliest you can find would be best. there are simple guides for heimdall. I beleive 1.3.0 is the latest one working good for our tabs.

Its based on Odin, you will have to enter a simple command to flash your recovery.img

the flashable .tar should be the earliest stock Odin .tar package you can find for your device.

best of luck. cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
So, if I get Heimdall, I can flash the recovery.img directly, without making a .tar? As for the earliest stock Odin .tar I can find, do you mean the earlier FW for this device I can find, or is it something different?

Happen to have any links?

And thanks... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Yes you flash recovery.img with heimdall,

No i dont have any links. You should be able to find some.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Have you tried KIES Emergency Firmware Recovery?

As previously mentioned. this could be the work of the Superbrick Bug, when you do a full wipe using the stock recovery in ICS(?).

I've attached the stock recovery for HC. extract and flash with ODIN. Tell me if you need the ICS one.

Hope you get your TAB7+ back up and running.

Edit: Sorry. I meant Heimdal.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Awesome, thank you! I will try to flash this! So this needs to be flashed in Odin, or Heimdall? I'm still trying to figure out how to do anything with Heimdall. lol

Also, I've tried Keis, but it never will actually connect with my Tab to do the emergency recovery, and doesn't show it in the list. :( The connection troubleshooter didn't help either... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
It seems strange that for my low end devices (galaxy y, old samsung phone) works well with kies. But the SG3 and TAB7 is finicky. :confused:

Anyway, use heimdall. It has a recovery install option. Actually, mobile odin has the feature too. It's strange that the pc version doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
I haven't figured out how to get into Heimdall, or even past the driver screen. There aren't any good tutorials on using it to flash only a recovery.zip file. At least, not that I can find, but I'm also trying to do all this on a POS PC that will barely load this site. :(

About Mobile Odin, I've heard of it, but never used it. I just looked it up, and it appears that it has to be run on the device. Is that right? How can I use it if I can only get to download mode? Ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
wont be able to use mobile Odin if you cant boot.

Heimdall isn't a big download is a very light program.

it only requires on dependancy for windows.

I think 1.3 is the best one for our tabs, later version could cause problems I have heard.

You'll want Heimdall and Heimdall-front-end(think of it as a GUI) both installed.

To install correct driver for Heimdall, go into the drivers folder in heimdall folder, click zadig.exe , find a samsung csc or device that doesnt have the word modem in it. wait for driver install to complete. click on detect device in heimdall front end. if if finds it great, I would try getting a .pit file just to be sure..

then place your recovery.img in heimdall folder and run commands from cmd prompt.

if you want to save your tab, you can do this..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
You forgot to add that in order to select the driver. First, plug in your device in download mode while running the driver install program of heimdall.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Thank you both. I'll give this a shot when I get home... :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Any idea what the command line command is? I'm going to try it on a friend's laptop at work. I'll make the Heimdall folder in root, C:/Heimdall ...

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
with you recovery.img at C:\Heimdall\recovery.img

command should be C:>heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Thanks. I am going to try this when I get home. We did make the recovery.img into an Odin flashable recovery.tar.md5 in Linux (not my box), and it *seemed* to flash ok, but same issue. I'll try Heimdall when I get home...

Also, a thought. When I go into recovery any time *except right after flashing a FW*, it says, "#Manual Mode# Updating Application...", stays on that screen 10-20 seconds, then reboots. What could this be? Could it be looking for some update file? Currently, there is NO MicroSD in the slot.

Also, immediately after flashing any FW, it comes to the GT7Plus splash screen, then goes into recovery on it's own and says a few things, then reboots to the same boot-loop issue. This last time we pushed FW, I got a pic of that screen. It's a bad one, but I think you can read it.

Ideas what this is/means/etc? Again, this only happens after a push of either FW. The next boot into recovery after this gives the "#Manual Mode# Updating Application..." message and then a reboot...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mjzaide:
@viper001 can you give step by step procedure on how to flash recovery using heimdall?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
you say *except after flashing a FW*, does this mean you can get into recovery one time after installing an Odin stock FW?

If so you may be able to adb into the device and maybe get some logs, check out your CSC issue or try to properly wipe /data.

To me it still sounds like possible /data partition corruption.

I would try adb route if you can get recovery to not reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
The picture above is what recovery looks like directly after flashing a stock FW. Any attempt after the pic above simply says, "#Manual Mode# Updating Application...", then reboots to the boot-loop... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
I do known the situation on the printscreen. It happened to me also.

Will your model receive the ics update? I think that's a hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Flash cwm recovery so it wont attempt to install csc

Let us know then

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
I also had this thought, glad to see it might be correct. Is there a specific version I need? Also, do you happen to have a link to the version and that is Odin flashable? I still haven't gotten Heimdall to work correctly.

I hope it will! :D

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Can anyone provide me w/ a stock Pit file for the T869, please? Or, *if it will work*, a Pit from another model GT7Plus?

Shouldn't it be the same as the P6200?

BTW, where you able to flash the HC recovery via heimdall?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Yup. Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I sat down and figured out Heimdall this afternoon, which was simple once I got into it. lol I flashed the HC recovery, nogo (but then when loading recovery I started getting a new error about not loading the cache). Flashed the recovery from the FW I DL'ed, nogo, same prob. Flashed the cache file from the stock FW, nogo. Pulled the .pit from my GT7Plus and used it to repartition through Heimdall and Odin, nogo.

I'm wondering if the issue lies in a bad .pit? Anyone have one I can use that is compatible? Also, is the a CWM that is compatible that I can flash w/ Heimdall or Odin (either one)?

Sorry to interrupt, another brick case to share

That's the step how I get to this... :crying::crying:

ICS with wifi not working

Odin back to HC with same .PIT

i don't know if this is gonna help or making it worse. i read almost the same case you have, failed to upgrading to ICS, but the device is P6200 3G+wifi. but successfully flashing after using .pit file. i hope it's work for you. you can download the pit file here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Thank you VERY much for posting that! I'm ready to DL this and try flashing it when I get to work in a couple of hours.

Viper, or anyone; Can someone just confirm for me that flashing this .pit to a SGH-T869 (TMobile 4g) GT7Plus is likely ok? I understand there is always *some* risk flashing system files, but I want to make sure it isn't a guaranteed catastrophic failure to a hard brick. lol :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
The T869 is basically a P6200 with a T-mobile localized system. hardware is the same.

I'm just not sure if there is a difference in internal memory (ROM) partition format (Hence the need for a correct PIT). At anyrate once a "Global" P6200 System, along with the correct PIT for that system is installed then everything should be fine and dandy.

It's really frustrating for you, i know. But, rest assured it will get solved one way or another.

I've attached 2 PIT files for the P6200. one for the 16GB and the other for the 32GB model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VisualOddity:
Awesome, thank you so much. No laptop to use at work tonight :(, so I'm going to push these when I get home tomorrow. :good:

My initial thought was just to send it in to Samsung for repair since it's still under warranty (they even sent me the shipping label), but then I thought differently. I'm hoping that with all my trial and error, and different symptoms that are coming out of this Tab, maybe once it's resolved we will have a more clear path for the others having this issue. I'm not a Dev, so I really can't give back to this wonderful community in that way, so I'm trying to do that by being a guinea pig with this issue and trying all the possible fixes. :cool: I've gotten a lot of help with a lot of devices here (Asus Transformer TF101, Galaxy Tab 10.1, original GT 7", Galaxy S, multiple G2x's, like 4-5 HD2's, and a few others), so I hope I can make this weird issue a little easier for others around here to recover from. It's not a lot, but it's what I can do right now. lol :p
