[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Hold on, are you GSM or CDMA?

If you're GSM, when flashing an ICS ROM, you will need to manually flash the boot.img from fastboot using CMD..
[HTC EVO 3D] Jaimesco12:
No I have the cmda sprint one
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
I would think that the same applies for a CDMA phone.

Look at the page where you downloaded the ROM, does the dev provide you with a boot.img file? (Usually firmware file)

If so, you could probably flash it manually.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jaimesco12:
No, it doesn't say :confused: I'm trying to flash meanrom ics
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Find this in the OP for MeanROM. :P
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
Okay I'm s-on and I've learned all the tricks for hboot 1.5. To get meanrom ics running on your 3d, you need to flash the boot.IMG through fastboot. It's the easiest way I've found. In the meanrom.zip there should be a file called boot.IMG. extract that to where your adb and fastboot drivers are. Then cd/ to the files with your adb and fastboot drivers. Next 'adb reboot boatloader' to go to fastboot. When in fastboot, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. then, since you have already flashed the Rom 'fastboot boot boot.img' to reboot your phone.

There are other ways to do flash the boot.img, but I prefer to use fastboot.

Hope this helps :P
[HTC EVO 3D] Jaimesco12:
Lol im just gonna do the wire trick :D what can i use a paperclip?
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
You can use a paperclip, however, you CANNOT do the wire trick unless you are running a stock ROM.

Must be stock Gingerbread.

And, if you plan on using a paperclip, wrap it in some kind of Tape so static electricity doesn't go from you to the phone.

Use masking tape, worked for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jaimesco12:
im running meanrom the gingerbread one and i have a backup for stock can i just do the backup and do it like that?
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Restore the backup. It has to be stock GB.

Then you should be OK. :)

Hello All,

I have been using Incredible S for 8 months now and had never faced an issue. Lately when i connect my phone to my computer, I get error message saying "USB not recognised".

Damn just as I planned to root and CFW my phone, I get this error :/ *sigh*

Can anyone suggest me any troubleshooting??

I have..

*enabled Fastboot,

*Tried different Datacables

*Tried different computers

*Installed HTC sync (for drivers)

Still get the error message..

Has anyone faced this issue.. Please guide me ...

Have you tried a different USB cable? Could also be your USB port on your phone

If you're trying to access your sdcard why don't you use an adapter?

Lucky you get this error before you root and void your warranty :)
[HTC Incredible S] Rah0ol:
Thanks for reply :)

I tried different USB cables, and different computers too..

I am also doubting about the USB port on phone..

I was going to root the phone so I need to connect it via USB mode. I can use WiFi if I have to transfer stuffs to card..

Mobile was working all fine. Even transferred stuffs last week..

when i decided to root..Wham!!

Can ADB detects your phone?
[HTC Incredible S] kuma0007:
switch back to sense

I had the same issue in one of the ROM's don't remember which one (but no longer on my current ROM)

I tried everything. I was using NOVA launcher by default. Clearing the defaults and switching back to HTC Sense worked for me. Immediately my notifications had the option to choose between usb modes.

P.S I would highly recommend AIR DROID app and managing your phone and sd card via chrome browser. Excellent APP incase USB port is ^%$&*$ed

Please proceed with caution!!! Although it is an extemely rare issue, some users have lost access to their data partitions on their devices upon flashing the ICS firmware. Please make sure that you backup your data partition and make sure that you read the guide below very carefully.​

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rdtshaw:
Just wanted to say thanks for the write up and the files! The upgrade to ICS went smooth like butter! The tab runs so nice with ICS on it, much more responsive and fluid. I had stock HC, only rooted and I was able to just drop the ICS firmware right on top via odin, no problemo. I hit start and walked away, came back to "Optimizing Applications". Did the CWM and Rooted. Loaded up Apex ICS launcher, finally!! :) Nice job!

I did that and it solved the issue , just booted into recovery and wiped data and cache, going to root and install CWM now , Thanks man :victory:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] p321:
Nevermind I use different PC and it works now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] WangChung81:
Figured something out, I was stuck on the "Samsung" splashscreen after flashing as well. What I did is:

1. Made sure to turn the tablet OFF (holding vol up, vol down, AND power), and not just force restarting the tablet

2. Boot into receiving mode (vol down + power)

3. Flash the UK ICS via Odin (PC obviously)

4. Let the tablet reboot, you should see a somewhat short loading screen with the new "3D" android bot with the wireframe molecule looking thing coming out of his chest.

5. Tablet should reboot again, go through the splash screen.

---------- If the tablet gets stuck at the splash screen again, read on ----------

6. Turn the tablet OFF again

7. Boot into stock recovery (vol up + power)

8. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" AND wipe cache

9. Select the "restart" option from the recovery menu

10. Let the tablet restart, should go completely through the splashscreen and into the initial setup.

After 4 days of being without a tablet, loading into ICS is friggin sweet. Surprisingly responsive.

How did you root, I open temp cwm but can apply root since i get error cannot mount sd card. Anyone else encounter this, if i install permananent will this chage?

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

So this is what I did, I flashed permanent cwm then installed root zip, which i placed in tablet not sd card. The CWM read only the tablet. I dont mind because it works great.

Also btw I also just flashed ics via odin w/o wipe and then once booted, installed permanent cwm, then root by placing in tablet. Thanks to every one for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rdtshaw:
Glad you got that working, the perm cwm is a good solution. For anyone else scratching their head during the CWM and root phase, make sure to use the touch interface. I was using the vol and pwr keys out of habit and it would not scroll and just blink and hang then go back to the main screen. I was beginning to feel like a monkey with an etch-a-scetch... :) A couple reboots into recovery and relaunching cwm and I figured it out.. Then I had the same issue with the sd card, but you need to scroll down(off screen) to flash from internal storage, the sd-card is mounted wrong. My thunderbolt had the same oddness with the storage mount points in CWM. Known issue with this version. I was back to the monkey deal again for a few minutes till I scrolled down. lol

Cheers!

oh, totally forgot about that. Thanks, I still prefer the non touch over the touch it slows me down which is always a good thing lol. Now dev let the mods roll down.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Vivified:
Just flash the stock ICS release with Mobile Odin and don't replace the recovery. The download was for users wanting to get CWM after they already flashed stock ICS and lost it.

Edit: You could also just flash the stock recovery from the stock ICS tar.md5, you just have to clear all of the other fields before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] komoornik:
Flashed the recovery.img from stock ICS via Mobile Odin.

What's the point of not working properly CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Vivified:
It's the same CWM that aorth asks people to use and most report it working fine. I don't actually use backup/restore in CWM, I need it purely for flashing things like CM9, so couldn't really tell you about it's backup/restore working or not. I use TiBu and prefer it personally.

WiFi issues?

OK - so I've rooted, flashed ICS rom, installed CWM again and re-rooted. Everything seems to work great except the WiFi. I'm getting random disconnects constantly. Sometimes the tab won't connect even with 100% signal. It seems that I have to cycle the wifi to get a connection once it's lost. Could this be an issue with the EU wifi? I thought the only real difference was that EU had more channels than NA... Anyone else experiencing this problem since flashing the EU ICS to their P6210? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jirkaz:
I had a WiFi disconecting problems with my Tab under the original HC 3.2 until I set my router to channel 6 from 1. It cured the problem. I don't know if it will help you.

There was no problem with the connection until I flashed the EU ICS rom. That's the only thing that's changed...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] HoggerJeff:
I've also noticed that other wifi networks in the area disappear from the list when my tab disconnects. I have to believe that its the radio on the tablet and not my router or wifi configuration.

Has anyone extracted just the wifi radio from the North American firmware of the P6210? I'd like to try flashing that onto the ICS.

My Tab was acting very brick like for a little while. I was able to get your ICS Working and now I am back in business!! THANK YOU AGAIN

Just a note for anyone having issues coming from other roms. After I flashed the HC Firmware mine would hang at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus splash screen. I had to boot into the now stock recovery and perform factory and dalvik wipe. After that it booted fine.

Thanks one more time Team Galaxy HD!

I just returned from a recent (mandatory by parents :rolleyes:) vacation and I believe Ace is enjoying his time off from hell school. ;)

I'll go ahead and update the OP and some of our threads for troubleshooting and tutorials.

For those of you who are nearing the point of committing suicide on an wanting to know an ETA for our next ROM, that is still undecided, however something REALLY good will be coming out soon, so I hope that information can assist you with your issues. :victory:

Also for those of you who aren't already following us on Twitter (please do) / do not have Twitter, the name of our next ROM will be Elements HD.

I will not provide any further details on its exact specifications as it is *still* being tested for the best end user experience. :)

Thank you everybody for the compliments, patience, suggestions, support, and encouragement on producing our first joint-opt ROM. :cool:

I hope you all have a great day and stay tuned for more updates. :D

Please help me I'm stuck on samsung logo and if wipe data/factory reset in recovery 3e stuck on formatting /data :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StrumerJohn:
Give it sometime. Revert back to the Honeycomb stock with ODIN and then wipe and retry the flashing process. For some reason this has some difficulty flashing and can take multiple attempts. We're working on a HC -> ICS Flashable Update zip as well so you can hold off for now and wait if you feel as if the process of upgrading via ODIN is too difficult.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zarvox:
I revert back to HC but when the tablet boot the recovery display some yellow lines (normal) but I noticed some red line (failed to mount /data).

And finaly the boot sequence and (the animated bootscreen appears, samsung logo is flashing), finally the tablet ask me for a password : A green droid is in middle of screen plus "Enter your password" and a keyboard.

I'm sur that I don't encrypt my data partition.

PS : I googled a bit and found that in HC when init fail to mount /data it think that is encrypted.

PS 2 : I try to wipe data/factory reset in recovery 3e but is stuck on formatting /data :(

PS 3 : Flashing CWM recovery whith heimdall but same thing append (corrupted /data).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StrumerJohn:
That enter your password only applies when you have your tablet encrypted . I can't really offer support for encrypted devices as I've never encrypted mine. You'll always get a few fails with the stock recovery btw, ignore those.

Let's try this...

Start all over.

1. Flash back to Honeycomb stock package

2. Boot up tablet as normal.

3. Follow the Original Root + Recovery Guide by Gary for our Tablet and Root and get CWM on your tab

4. On CWM wipe your Data, Cache, Dalvik cache, and System.

5. Go into odin mode and flash Honeycomb once more (to be safe)

6. Go reboot back into recovery. Wipe data and cahce regardless of errors

7. Go back into odin mode and flash ICS.

If you did encrypt your device, DECRYPT it.

Let me know if this works out for you!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zarvox:
CWM say he can't mount /data and don't wipe.

The recovery can do factory reset (wipe data/cache) but he take long time to finisch.

Bootloop !

Wiping cache or factory reset don't solve the problem.

Revert back to HC and bootloop.

In CWM I can now format /data but HC bootloop again.

Now recovery stuck on "updating application".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StrumerJohn:
Try flashing a ROM and see if you can mount data after it's booted up. Try fixing permissions as well; then just try to revert to something stable for the time being. You sound like one of the people that will be needing the ICS ROM zip upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zarvox:
The fact is I can't flash anything stable :(

My tab seem to be physically damaged.

I must go to SAV (french word I don't now in english).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zolazar:
Keep trying different things. Mine was locking up in recovery while wiping and flashing. Freezing at the Samsung splash screen. I thought is was toast. I finally got it to work by Flashing HC and then booting to the stock recovery and performing Factory Wipe/Reset. It then booted into HC and I was able to then flash ICS. Been working great since.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zarvox:
I don't count the number of time I have flashed HC and performing factory reset.

All time the result is the same, it blame it can mount /data or wipe data/cache but bootloop all times.

The fact is when flashing HC and boot to recovery it blame about cannot mouting /data but I can do a foctory reset but the tablet stuck on white logo.

I've the same problem as this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1794197

I googled a bit and the problem is strangely close to the bug affecting galaxy s2 and leaked ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StrumerJohn:
OK. Thank you VERY much for your input. I WILL be looking into this as soon as possible. Not just for you, but for all of us. This is serious.

Would you mind PM'ng me some details about your device prior to attempting this guide / tutorial? As in which ROM you were running, what initial firmware your device was shipped on, which recovery you were running, etc.?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kingofcomedy:
Wow, ICS is definitely running great on my P6211. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StrumerJohn:
Glad to hear you had no problems mate!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kingofcomedy:
As this is not the first time I flashed a galaxy-device I skipped some of your steps (e.g. flashing hc before ics,etc.). I did a dirty-update without factory reset before which was running fine too, but I thought a fresh install would be better anyway. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StrumerJohn:
Yeah. Following all the steps isn't required, however, I worded it towards beginners.
