----------- FIXED ----------

Hey guys,

I'm encountering a terrible problem with my P6810 tab. Here is the story :

At first, I just did format /system/ (and /data/, cache and dalvik) in CWM before flashing a new Rom.

After reboot, the tab just got stuck on the "Galaxy Tab 7.7" logo. no bootloop, just stuck on static logo.

At this stage i could go to download mode and recovery, which I did.

I tried to reflash the rom, no success so then i tried to flash stock ICS firmware through Odin 1.85 : Stuck on flashing Factoryfs.img for several hours, so i had no choice but to reboot the tab. (i had no kies-related software running, neither my antivirus)

There, the tab got stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery in Kies" screen, no way to go to either recovery or download mode (not even worth saying Kies didn't recognize the tab).

I've been struggling a few hours with that brick and finally managed to get acces to download and recovery modes again by flashing CWM with Odin alongside a PIT file with "repartition" ticked in Odin.

So there I could access recovery, I flashed CM9, everything went smooth. The tab rebooted and got passed the Galaxy tab 7.7 logo and went to the cm9 bootscreen but got stuck there (big desillusion right there).

So now in recovery, i can mount every partition but those two : /data/ and /sdcard/

I figured out by reading similar threads that the solution to my issue might be e2fsck through adb. I'm a complete noob to adb.

I can acces the adb shell but here are what the commands i've been reading about return me : (mmcblk0p9 is /data/ partition on P6810)

# e2fsck -fDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 :

e2fsck : Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...

The superblock could not be read or does not describe as a correct ext2 filesystem.

If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else),

then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock : e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

also had this once with this command :

bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

# e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 :

Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Could this be a zero-length partition ?

# e2fsck -c /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 :

same as above

can you guide me with e2fsck or give me a link to a specific tutorial related to android e2fsck?

is there not a way in adb to like replace the corrupt partitions with freshly created ones ? or any other workaround ?

Any help will be appreciated a lot, i'm willing to donate to whoever provides me with a solution to get my tab running again.

Thanks for reading.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Androguide.fr:
Thanks a lot, already checked that one though.

Everything that worked for the guys in that thread doesn't work for me, or I'm too ignorant to find out the right e2fsck command...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Androguide.fr:
Still no one able to provide some help please ?

It's weird that so many people are having the same issue on 7.7 these days, could it be related to the EU ban of this tab ?^^

Anyway, last day before i send it to Samsung :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zorbakun:
check this thread here it may help you solve your issue. All problems are coming from a brick bug in the ICS Kernel thats trigerred by wiping.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Androguide.fr:
Thanks a lot, trying this right now :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Androguide.fr:
Can someone please post a (parted) print of a safe and working Galaxy Tab 7.7 (either of the two models) ?

I need the exact size of the /data partition
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Androguide.fr:
ISSUE FIXED Thanks to Zorbakun's last post. A million thanks dude.

However, the actual internal storage of my tab is now 50mb :silly: anyway i'll find a way to fix that too.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cakrabayu:
the actual internal storage of my tab is now 50mb

Hello Androguide.fr.

Did you manage to find a way to fix your shrink of internal storage? If so, would you mind to share the method. Thanks

Regards

Budi
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Androguide.fr:
Well yeah, didn't recover the 16gb but you can try to earn yourself some extra gigs by doing this once you created a fresh /data partiton :

this is an example for p6810, replace resize 9 with resize 10 if on a p6800

adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
resize 9

It will ask you for start/end values, keep the same start value otherwise it will give you an error. A good idea is to resize the partition like + 500mb at a time, to avoid i/o errors you might get when creating/resizing large file systems.

Hope it helps, good luck.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
I am about to have to do this myself, and i'm not a developer. i have accessed and navigated around my device through adb, but this level of complexity *almost* over my head. i just want to make sure i'm not going to permanently mess this up. also, someone in another thread tried flashing ICS with an older version of ODIN and now his tab won't even power on. which i'm trying to avoid... so after reading around these forums for a few days (it happened saturday morning--and i KNEW to avoid flashing from stock ICS recovery--i think i wiped /data-cache-dalvik with CWM 5.0.1) i'm pretty sure that failure to mount /data seems to be the super brick bug everybody's talking about. i bought the p6800 as an import in the US so i am without warranty... :( if anyone can help with a step by step guide for the masses or something... i'm intelligent, and quite computer literate/net saavy, but i'm not a mentat ("dune" reference)...

like, i'm having trouble figuring out how to install adb on windows. and how do i use parted when it's linux software? i've repartitioned HD's before, and i'm familiar with some command-line basics, but....

--going to bed now...my head hurts--
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Steve_max:
Try the .PIT file for the P6800 located here. You will lose all data, and part of your internal SD space. Looks like the brick happens consistently at the same point of the memory chip, so the same .PIT works for most people. If that doesn't help, you will need parted.

How can you use parted? It's a Linux program that runs in your tablet. You will adb shell to it, then you will have a Linux shell. Everything you put down there will run in your tablet, as if you were typing on it (think ssh, or remote desktop). I can't help you much more, because (knocks on wood) my tablet is still very much alive, and I don't use ADB that much.

Now, I don't know how it works in your country, but here in Brazil the Samsung service accepts warranties issued anywhere. It may be worth a shot.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Androguide.fr:
I am working on writing a specific 7.7 guide to teach people the parted/e2fsck technique I use to revive my bricked p6810 everytime I want to flash a new rom or test my builds.

First, as pointed out, try to Odin the PIT file for your particular model (eg : P6800 16gb).

You got to know that the parted technique is a pain in the ass, that you'll have to do it quite often if you like flashing roms, and that your tab will have a much smaller internal storage.

I think the guide will be ready in a couple days but you can pm be if you need help before that, no problem.

Good luck with this superbrick curse :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
thanks guys for your help, i'm going to try to figure this out this afternoon. i'm in the US, so they don't even offer warranties on imports. i was told by a samsung rep in the US that they don't grant warranties to imported models. i will first try the modified PIT file, then i will try the more complex method. @Androguide.fr i will PM you if i have trouble with the more complicated method later. thanks!!!!

Do you have any other launcher installed? Mine was greyed out until I installed adw ex and set touchwiz as default, then the option to clear defaults was there.

I guess the issue is that the default ICS "Launcher" is not available on the S3 like it was on the S2.

i dont know about you guys but I currently have the nano optic screen protector by sgp and even though they make one of the best protectors, you can tell the color difference between the naked area and the covered area. The covered area has a bit of a little greyish tint to it while the naked area is clear white. I'm not sure why everyone is saying "you can't even tell a screen protector is on" when reviewing the sgp screen protector for the galaxy. You can definitely tell that its on.

I would use the device without a screen shield but wouldn't want it to be scratched up when I resell it later on.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJDdeLacerda:
It's not a question about pros and cons, it's about what you expect from your phone. You have to try them all and choose what you want and serves you best.

I used Fluxxi, Siyah, CM9 and others kernels. I enjoy more the Siyah, because I believe it hands to you more performance on the CPU's and the touch is better, with more configurations on the tweaks then others kernels delivers. But a lot of people prefers Fluxxi, and others prefers other kernels.
