[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
Hello guys,

I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and wanted to mess around with it and root it. I thought I did everything correctly - it won't let me post the site I used :(.

However, now I am in a pickle. Whenever I start my SGT, it gets to the Samsung loading screen, does the intro tune, and then just starts all over again. I tried doing a hard reset and I tried wiping all of the cache/saved files/etc. but nothing seems to work. I am at a loss as to what I can do. Has anyone seen this before or is there a way around it? Is there anything I can do?

Much Appreciated,

Sam
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamer819:
What os did you flash? Can you boot to recovery and flash something more stable like CM9 with odin?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
I am not entirely too sure, to be honest - I wish it would be let me post the site I used haha.

I used the below ClockworkMod Recovery:

imnuts’ CWM Recovery image

I downloaded the developer nycbjr’s rooting package - cwm-root-gtab2.zip

Does that answer your question?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamer819:
Kinda. Did you just want root or a custom firmware as well? I am am running the CM9 and I'm very pleased with it. :good: Not as flashy as the stock but it is a performer.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
Honestly, I am not even 100% sure why I did it. I was browsing the Android Market and got some apps I liked. The issue arose when I tried using them it requested that I have root powers - I wasn't really trying to modify the os or anything like but was just looking to get root powers. If I hook up my phone to my laptop and put it into Recovery Mode and run Odin, can I PDA the CM9? Do you think that would help? Is there anyway to reset it through Odin? When I do a hard reset, literally nothing changes.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
Please post the link to the root method you used. I have a hunch you tried to flash a zip for the gtab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
The below is the root zip I used: cwm-root-gtab2.zip

mediafire.com/?kjb0rg9bs87p2ma

It won't let me post the site I used so I am going to break it up into a few strings.

androidauthority. com/ galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3113-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96474/
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
I meant the root guide you used.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
Yea, I can't post links in the forum yet, so... :(. The link above(broken up one), the android authority one, is where I found the root guide.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
Can you access CWM recovery? BTW, you can post links if you uncheck "automatically parse links". Also, you don't have to email me, PM me, AND post here-- one of those will suffice.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
I can access CWM recovery. However, none of the options in there seem to really do anything.

Edit: Yea, my apologies on that. I was trying to e-mail you the link and I didn't get a sent confirmation and it said I had nothing in my sent messages so I tried PMing you and the same thing happened. I'll stick to the forums so everyone can see this as it may help people, I just didn't know there was a way around the link :). My bad.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
It's fine. Back to work, what you call a soft bricked tab is what I call an opportunity to flash a new ROM. I'm a tab 10.1 guy so I can't recommend a specific ROM. But I've heard good things about Tab2Lite and CM9.

Won't boot. Bootloader or kernel problem?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
I'm glad to hear there is a chance my birthday day present won't become a paper weight. I am still a little new to this stuff so I wanna make sure I am on the same page as you. The ROM that I used was cwm-root-gtab2, correct? I had to download a bunch of files and I am trying to make sense out of what is what. Now, when you said I need to get a new ROM, would that consist of me putting a new ROM on the external SD and then running that?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
Could one of you clear one thing up for me. I am going to try and use Odin again but with a different espresso file as I think that was the problem. I am just unsure which espresso file to use, how do I tell which one I need.

From:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25228-how-to-rooting-gt-p3113-step-by-step-updated-07182012/
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmessup:
Hey guys, I want to thank both of you for your help! I was able to reset my tab and it now works. It looks like I used the wrong espresso file :(. If possible, I would still love for an explanation of my above question - just so I know for the future. But other than that, thank you for both!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dralanmage:
Basically if your tab is on the latest firmware image, you need the latest espresso file. I'm guessing that you were on 4.0.4 and the espresso file you first flashed was for 4.0.3. That happened to myself and a few other people as it's not really clear what you need in those guides!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
The Nexus is a strange beast at times... wondering if you guys have this issue and if you corrected it or not.

My issue has to do with MP3 Tags on the nexus. No matter what I do, the tag never changes. For example:

1. If I have the artist name as "The WANTED", and want to change it to "The Wanted", it will never do so. Whatever tagger program I use, it will not change the case.

2. Stranger is that every program across the nexus, whether it be the Music Player itself or an ID tagger it will show up as "The WANTED" in the lists, however the ID tagger will show correctly when I go in and edit... as soon as I back out, it shows incorrectly again.

3. Stranger still is that if I have my phone plugged in to my Windows 7 Computer, and have the nexus opened on a window on the right side and a windows folder on the left side, the exact same file will show its tags properly in the windows folder, but if I move it to the right side (Nexus Music Folder) it will have it wrong again!

4. I've even recoded a new file, but as soon as the same characters in the tag are the same, regardless of case it will show up the way its previously seen it.

I've tried clearing data/cache on the program, removing thumbnails folders everything... the problem persists.

Any idea how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
Have you tried re-naming the tracks in Windows with a proper ID3 Tag editor? I know that sometimes tracks just don't want to change, but from my experience, I see that there is some garbage data in a field that looks blank, so clearing that out regardless of what is in there usually works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
I tried that. Nothing works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
There has to be some sort of tag database that is locally stored on Android for faster access. I have yet to find out where it's stored

This simply doesn't make sense otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brandonb81:
I have a Verizon GN, and the power button crapped out. I called Verizon and luckily it's under warranty so they sent me a new one, but my concern is that it's currently unlocked with Jelly Bean on it.

So right now it's powered off and I can't seem to get it to power up so I can restore it and re-lock it. I'm concerned that if I send it to Verizon they're going to say I voided my warranty and try to charge me for the phone.

What do you guys think? Anyone return a phone to Verizon with the phone unlocked with a custom rom? Is there any magical way I can get the thing to power up so I can restore it? Thanks in advance.

Yes you have to flash a custom kernel for this rom, so you need an unlocked bootloader.

if you have any custom kernel such as doom lord and your phone get bricked its ok as this loads up first and you can flash the Rom again...

just don't over clock and what not if your a newbie as it can harm your xperia play if you don't know what your doing... back to the subject its 99% safe and seen many developers and others flashing their xperia plays everyday which i think is unnecessary

Just flash it, don't worry about anything else.

Sometimes there might be scripts in etc/init.d but not usually. Depends on the dev. Some rom devs have scripts there too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GendelD:
Hi guys, this may be a stupid question.

I have all these useless files on my internal storage that have been collected through my time with my Galaxy S2.

I recently flashed cm10 to my phone, and after i wiped it with CWM, i still have GBs of stuff from old times.

I also noticed that there's a CWM folder in the internal storage.

So this is what i want to do:

1. Format internal storage clean, and still have CWM.

2. Flash the SuperNexus ROM + GAPPS from external SD through CWM.

3. Start clean :)

Can i do that? And if so, how?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Backup the essential files, such as music, pics, important documents or attachments, any nandroid backups and TiBu backups, then go to settings, storage and format the SD card. CWM should not be deleted since that is in the /system partition. I did it the hard way, flashing a stock unrooted ROM, deleted every single thing, then rooted and flashed a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tefanym:
u can format your internal and external without worrying of loosing root ( I do that at least 3 or 4 times a day ;) ) because essential and important apps(superSU or CWM) like that are in /system/app while the paths u will erase are /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd

so just go for it and clean ur internal sd up.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] espionage724:
With osu!droid, if I manage to send a lot of input to the screen at once (trying to 2-finger stream, spam 4 fingers on the screen, etc), all beats stop coming on the screen, and then quickly reappear a few seconds later (usually resulting in a fail).

Can anyone else confirm this happening to them? I would assume this is only specific to osu!droid since:

- FPS doesn't drop in-game

- Music continues playing in-game

- A multitouch testing app I used confirmed 60+FPS with 5 fingers on screen and moving, and I was able to spam touch events without drop in FPS

If anyone else wants to give osu!droid a shot, it's a free download in Market, but you'll need to get a song to test. The in-game get songs downloader may or may not work, but you can transfer songs from the desktop version of osu! and beatmap site if you know how.

When you use a charger for another device you must be sure that the Output Amperes are equal or less than the ones of the original charger

of your device because you will propably damage your device!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gogeta:
MICROUSB are all same....(I think so)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayurcools:
no they are not all same

samsung provides 850mA current while our charger has 1A.

as our battery is 1200mAh we can give max 1.2A current to it (considering 1C discharge)

so i recommend to use any USB charger with 5V and 1A rating. apple chargers also use the same.

also buy a good company charger. dont use any china charger as they lack in overvoltage protection and all (i am not offending any chinese people in xda ;) ).

and our PC USB port provides 5V 500mA, so we can use it also but it will take time to charge phone.

press thanks if helped.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikalstha:
jst a query.....doesnt our x8 charger(ep800 greenheart) outputs 850mA...???????

though charging with 1A provides fast charging.....good or bad?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayurcools:
every phone has built in charging IC and it provides high current with fast charging and when battery is about to charge full it reduces current and charges device normally so that there will not be any overcharging.

and our battery is LiPo not LiIon so we have advantages over more current draw and fast charging. also we can charge battery at ny time, it is not needed to charge it when battery is about to die to extend its life like in other batteries.

so you do not need to worry.

and my W8 original greenheart charger rating is 5V 1A

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theorw:
Quite wrong there.The only thing that will happen is that the phone will take longer to charge if the mAmperes are less than the original chargers.If they are more it wont have any problem or it may even charge faster depending on the internal charge controller.

Just so you keep it in mind, the mAmps a charger states, is the MAXIMUM it can provide, not the mAmps it FORCES into the device.Every device drains as much power as it is configured to drain when it was built.

Its the OUTPUT voltage you must be careful at, though every charger the last 8 years outputs 5-7 volts which is fine. :laugh:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtrlAltDelIrl:

True.. The phone will only draw the power it requires even if the charger has a higher rating..

Use samsung charger, better battery life...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiestobunio:
Well in this case you write nonsense ...

Sony Ericsson is the Sony Ericsson and not combined with other devices.

But if the charger fits why not a battery but it does not improve in the same way as other charges
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theorw:
Nonsense is not a very polite word, i d prefer inaccurate.

In this case both statements are wrong.There is no manufacturer constrain when using smartphones and chargers, as long as they both have the same plug (aka micro usb).

The chargers are not actually chargers, they are power supplies.As stated above each phone only takes the amount of power its charge controller IC dictates it to.So there is no better life with samsung charger nor SE for SE phones and not combining with other devices.

Use whatever charger you can find (as long as it is of some brand) and it will do the trick.If it says many mAs(like 1000 or more) good for, you, faster charge if the phone allows it, if it says less mAs you ll just have to wait more, but the battery wont get damaged, whatever charger you use!

There must be charger that charges X8 in just 1 minute :silly:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theorw:
Why dont you grab a 70Ah charger and try and tell us your results then? :good:

In the meantime read carefully what i posted. i stated :' if the phone allows it". Meaning you can put a 2Ah charger but unless the phones charge controller allows it you cant charge in that rate.Ofc you shouldnt charge Lithium batteries with more than 1C in the first place but thats another story.

Finally i ve converted old cellphone chargers i had in a shelf to have USB output and they all work great, though they charge slower since they are 500mAh rated.

OK so i modified the framework-res.apk of a rom i recompiled it without signing. The problem is that i want to replace the old framework-res.apk in the zip file before flashing the rom.

When i do this either with 7 zip or winrar i get stuck in bootloop BUT if i flash only the framework-res.apk with an update.zip after i install the rom it works perfectly .

I searched all over and from what i read this should work... do i need to sign the apk if i replace it in the zip before flashing?

And if i need to sign it how i do that, i just sign it with apkmanager?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fd1999:
I haven't this problem, but try to sign it. They are many tools and apps for Android (also Linux) and Windows.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gafaysto:
So you just open the .zip file replace the apk and it works?? Can you sugest some tool for signing? cause i signed it with apk manager and it din't work i got stuck at boot animation only this time it stops completly it doesn't loop...

Also i have the same issue with Settings.apk , this one if i put it in the zip before flashing it doesn't open even if i sign it or not ... what the hell am i doing wrong???

If i flash them individualy with .zip update after i flash the rom, everything works fine . But i want to modify the rom before flashing... to have only one zip ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
what actually happens is when u decompile apk with apktool and then recompile it, signature gets mismatched so it gets stuck on bootloop. To solve this use apkmanager and decompile it as system app, perform changes and then recompile by following instructions therein :)
