[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bertacolypse:
Hi, I was hoping someone could direct me to the back to stock file so I can unroot this galaxy tab 10.1 I had a friend root it for me, but I honestly, at least for this tablet have had nothing but problems. I cannot :cowboy:stand the inconsistancies, and lack of camera use. I did a restore to what I thought was stock, but the tab is still rooted and while I have functionality of the camera's back, the pictures are terrible and grainy.

If someone has a link, or anything helpful to get this tablet back to stock/factory settings for I'd love it. I have been currently trying to fix this. I loved this tablet until it got rooted. Please help.

Unsure if this thread will even be seen anymore, but I just saw an article for the program triangle away. Since I have flashed this tab several times, I am about to send it into the mfg for repair for the cable charge problem it was having. I'm wondering. Will I need to unroot this tab again, use triangle away and reflahs again? Or is this model exempt from the flash counter?

if you dont think you'll be there to receive the package, have a relative be there for you, or a neighbor you trust, or redirect the package to a relative/friend's house etc.

EMOJIs

Yes, I just noticed this yesterday. I have used emoji before in the .10 ruu

So i did some testing from vzw to vzw from a user that has an iphone and she can send them all without any thing failing, however someone who has sprint iphone sends things ans some do not work ( most ). Another person who has boost ( also sprint ) sends corrupted emojis as well, not all, but most are bad.

I think this could be a carrier thing to be honest since this is the first time i seen this yesterday. Now who is to blame is unknown.

I have been using the .10 leek since it has come out and its been working fine til now
[HTC Rezound] tenbender:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] yotorogo:
i'm thinking of getting the Galaxy s3 but i'm having a bit of trouble deciding which one. before i continue i would like to sate a couple factor :

I have att, 3gb of data

I live in New York so i have LTE coverage everywhere

i barely use data for anything other than downloading an app, browsing the web, or watching something on youtube

i'm a major gamer so thats were getting the international one with its Exynos chip v.s the us one with snapdragon s4

So a couple of questions i wanted to ask you guys was:

Does 1gb vs 2gb of ram really make a difference and improve speed, i don't multitask a lot just like 2 or 3 apps

how good is the snapdragons 4 actually?( Give your opinion, and if you ever had lag when you used it)

How good is the snapdragon s4 for gaming, ex. GTA3, Max Payne, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, N.O.V.A 3, and if the games ever felt laggy or a little glitchy?

Also they are more developers for the international version

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] enaybee:
If you are not worried too much about the LTE speeds than your best bet is i9300. Exynos 4 Quad is definitely better for gaming ... I have the AT&T variant just because I wanted to have unlimited 4G plan (grandfathered unlimited 3G upgraded to unlimited 4G now).

Also, if u have ORD then i9300 is the best choice hands down. I can speak from my own experience when I chose to get i9100 over local US variants. The amount of developer support for the international models is mind boggling. You don't get that much support (as quickly) for the US variants.

So better gaming, better developer support. I would say go for i9300 ... Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] yotorogo:
i really want to get the international version, i do, its just that $600 is out of my budget
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] yotorogo:
Can anyone tell me if they ever experienced lag while play a high graphic intensive 3d game on any of the us/canadian Samsung galaxy s3?????

Please I have been trying to find out the answer for sooooo long, I'm begging you. Can some one please give me an honest and true answer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Nickel Dime Bay:
Get the international, trust me its worth the $600.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] yotorogo:
What's soooooooooooooooo good about the international one that makes it worth the $600. Is the difference in speed and performance really better on the international one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheJanitor07:
I have the US version and I game quite a bit. I frequently play Max Payne, Shadow gun, Dead trigger and GTA3. I don't experience any lag what so ever. I couldn't make this thing lag if I wanted to. The 2Gs of RAM makes a world of difference IMO.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Nickel Dime Bay:
For ME the development alone is the biggest reason why i went for the international, we have so many recognized devs working on so many ROM's and its nice to get the first updates as soon as they come. The quad core is a bonus, as i have never seen a hint of lag or stutter on this thing. The 2gb of ram vs 1gb of ram isnt really that big of a deal to me, phones run perfectly fine on 1gb but 2gb is awesome too. This is why i chose the I9300, its different for everybody but i love this beast.

I come to these forums a lot to see what the US version has cooking and so far it looks like things are getting ready to pick up! Task and Ktoonz (sp?) are awesome devs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cashyftw:

THANK YOU, I have been trying to see if the us version had lag, that was my main concern, looks like I'll be getting the us versoin, or get it and sell it, then from the money I make I could get the international versoin. Thanks to everyone that helped me make my decision
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheJanitor07:
No problem. Trust me, your going to love it. You probably won't even want to sell it for the international version. The US version handles everything just fine. In fact, tests have shown where the S4 processor actually performed faster in some situations. Most phones can't even utilize 4 threads yet. Put simply, you get all the performance of the quad-core (and then some), plus amazing battery life. We've seen video proof of the performance. With the S4 Qualcomm has introduced a new architecture, and it's cutting edge. It's based on the same instruction set as the new ARM A15 processors, which gives it a significant advantage over it's competitors. It will do tasks faster, and more efficiently than the rest of the current generation hardware. So performance is just as good overall and battery life should be better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] yotorogo:
Thanks you, you really helped me make my decision of getting this phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bonebeatz1234:
Don't believe everything you hear the s4 chip is a beast. Not as good as the sammy quad but i say better than tegra. Either way a duel core phone going toe to toe with either of theses processors speak for itself. It's a notice different from last generation duel core. It handles games without a hitch battery life omg all day long . This phone isn't perfect but it's Pretty darn close. I own the evo 4g lte with the s4 chip and it runs sense4 like butter no lag get the phone enjoy it. Development isn't where the international version is because the rest of the world78% to be exact got the same phone and little usa has to have there altered to work with lte. Plus they got theres before us. The u.s galaxy s3 development will pick up fast the delays and Verizon just getting it a few days plays a roll to.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] yotorogo:
One question I have though, is what's the difference bettween att galaxy s3 and HTC one XL by att

They both are dual core

Both have snapdragon s4

1.5 ghz

And adrenno 255

So other than the fact the galaxy s3 has 2gb of ram, what's the difference?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KillaHurtz:
Not to be rude but you need to research the specs yourself, someone could say one has magic faeries inside for all you know.

The One X has a super lcd2 IPS display, while the GS3 has a samoled hd+ screen.

The One X has no removable storage or battery, while the GS3 has both.

The One X has 1gb of RAM, while the GS3 (USA) has 2gb.

The One X has Sense, we have TouchWiz

Not sure if this will be any help, but found this regarding the blast kernel:

Found this http://code.google.com/p/blastkernel/ (locked down though, I couldn't get access) which was linked from here (also in french but translated through google) but I'm unsure as to if it is related to the blastkernel you are looking for as all the links for the source code are now broken.

Also, while looking through the vz source I found that the person responsible for a lot the vzw specific code also helped to develop this http://www.uclinux.org/ so maybe some of that source might be of some help too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamOutler:
There are relatively large pins between the processor and the other larger chip on the back side of the board. I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but it's definitely communications of some kind. These were taken with the battery out of the device when plugged into USB. Each set starts a new unplug-plugin sequence.

All of these were located between the processor and SDCard. I must examine these bettter. In particular, there are two points at the corner of the processor just above where my needle is located in this picture.

U��UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU�UUU��JUU��UUUU��UUU��Z���UUUU���UUUUU���UUUUUU���UUUU���UUUUUUٙ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

These points seem to be what I'm looking for. as far as UART.. Especially that last one. It moves just as you'd expect start-up checks to move, random strings of characters... While not intelligable in the above, after figuring out the bitrate I'm sure something will come through.

I need to analyze the bitrate at this point. I'm quitting for the night though.

I am at the wrong baud rate, but I think I pulled up some valuable boot data from the processor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rebellos:
Just a sidenote - some of these testpoints might be CLK/PWM signals, the one with serie of "2222" seems like this.

Also - if UART coming out of FSA muxer is 115200bps - the same debug line, on testpoint before FSA must be aswell 115200bps. Unless bootloader output goes to other port with different baud rate, which sounds unlikely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcase:
tz - is the trustzone, normal qualcomm

cache - should not be the dalvik cache, dalvik cache should be on teh userdata partition now on. (Could be wrong, dont have the device). Cache should be almost strictly for updates and recovery use now.

boot itself is signed, not the zImage.

I believe hopping on the developer device is a better option, not only is it made for such, it's also not purchasing a phone within Verizon's sales network (my favorite part of it all)

In the uart dump in the op, the line stamped at 1.57 seems interesting. Looks like the modem (assuming that's still where the activity is going on then) is checking firmware. Makes me think that there might be something there that could be captured. I wonder where it is confirming the fw is updated.

This might not be useful, but it seems interesting.

{i} PARAMS

The PARAMS partition (from an adb dump) contains almost all 0's. Here are the first 32 bytes

(layed out in hex offsets of 0x00000000 && 0x00000010):

00000000 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
00000010 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

From what I understand, each occurance of 01 indicates a boot_mode variable that the SBL reads*. The rest of the file, about 10,485,739bytes of data, can contain information for other variables such as debug_level and switch_sel and maybe more, but I have too look more into dissembling the SBL patition image (sbl2.img) to see what other variables there are. I'll report back as soon as I have any more info on that.

*See this link for more info on the param.blk:

http://epiccm.blogspot.com/p/stock-firmware.html

I think its interesting that from an adb dump, BOOT, EFS, FOTA and PARAMS are all the same size. Only BOOT and PARAMS contain any data though. EFS and FOTA must be loaded from the BOOT partition depending on the boot variables loaded in the PARAMS partition, but I may be wrong on that.

As for booting from SDcard here's a link on how it was done with the Epic 4G:

http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/multiboot-android-for-debuggingtesting.html

The instructions seem like they should work, especially since they had to use kexec to load from the SDcard and the SGS3 will have to do the same for now. I haven't built this yet, but I will give it a go as soon as I have a spare moment.

EDIT: this might be what you're looking for as far as booting from SD --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1774795 END EDIT

I am currently manually going through each hex offset in IDA and seaching for commands to disassemble aboot.img, I haven't gotten very far as this is extremely time intensive.

I can post any dissasm DB's that anyone wants. They can get rather large though.

On a side note, I'm using IDAPro6.1 for disassembly of the adb dumped partitions. If you have any pointers on using IDA for debugging/disassembling android partitions, that would be fantastic. I have an arm toolchain, but beyond that IDA I've only had experience poking at Window$ crap.

recovery kernel log

The recovery kernel log is in this path:

/data/log/recovery_kernel_log.txt​

I'd post it in a code section here but it's just too long.

There's a few other interesting logs in that path as well.

As I understand it, this seems to be the log from the kernel loaded during the bootloader/Odin mode boot. Could reveal some of the variables set in the params partition. Plus it has juicy hex offsets for all kinds of things.

It's quite verbose.
