1- Yes, boot loop. I can't get into recovery mode. Vol Up + Power doesn't work.

2- I've tried 1.7 and 1.85. Neither recognizes it.

3- Windows 8 Pro

4- Drivers are installed. It was recognized before I tried installing the kernel.

5- Was using the one on the CM Wiki and the tried using Overdrive's but didn't get far enough with the first step.

Battery 'removal' without removal

During my flashing steps, I have never encountered such odd behavior. Therefore, what I will suggest may or may not work. I'll state that again: I have never had this problem, and my solution below may or may not work. You at your own risk.

If the above steps work, please reply. If you have a method other than the one suggested, please post with as much detail as possible.

If you are uncomfortable with the above steps, I would suggest that you PM user 'priyana' with your details. Refer him to this thread, and provide any additional details as required. It would be beneficial for any resolution to be posted to this thread for the XDA community.

Here is a link to a forum thread with other Q & A's for your tablet: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079295

I really want your problem resolved, as I may encounter the same problem on a future flash. Here's hoping for a Christmas Miracle!

Hi, willing_to_cooperate,

can one use heimdall for your method? Could you send me files, too, as the overcome website seems down...

Thx Ed

But that is why sos_sifou goes the great length of hosting the files :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DichEd:
Right... Well then, do you know if these can be used through heimdall ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Yes, unpack the tar and the individual files are to be used with heimdall.

I use it all the time since I use Linux.

you may need the latest heimdall 1.4.x

I used to use heimdall 1.3.1 and works well until one day it just give error about unexpected end of file or something.

But to me it doesn't matter because I only use it to restock with pit file.

I immediately flash the overcome kernel and boot to cwm and flash other custom ROMs so it doesn't matter that my GB stock safe didn't flash completely.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DichEd:
Cool, me too, I haven't used windows in ages!

Now I all need is the overcome kernel, right? As I plan to flash the cm (10, if I manage, or 9, if not). Gonna give it a try now!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Actually you may still need the GB-stock-safe-v5.tar

What I heard is that some version of GB left no room to flash overcome kernel, or something to that effect, causing the tab to hang at boot?

Anyway, just try it out.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DichEd:
Alright, I've got the GB-stock-safe-v5.tar file, unpacket the zImage from it and flashed it using:

./heimdall flash --kernel zImage

That worked, but afterwards the tab tried to boot "normally" and got stuck in the blinking "samsung" logo.

Then I entered the recovery mode but it seems to have the stock recovery, and it failed to load the CM rom.

I've switched it off and tried to flash it with

./heimdall flash --kernel zImage --recovery recovery.bin

using the recovery.bin from p1n wiki page on CM. The recovery didn't change unfortunately. Can you tell which files and in which sequence should I flash with heimdall?

Thanks!

Update: tried

./heimdall flash --kernel zImage --cache overcome/cache.rfs --factoryfs overcome/factoryfs.rfs --dbdata overcome/dbdata.rfs --primary-boot overcome/boot.bin

with roughly the same result. I basically want the cwm recovery so I can flash the CM rom
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
You didn't get it.

GB stock safe v5 is stock. It s Samsung ROM.

Not overcome.

Of course you get stock recovery.

You need it for all its components, including its pit file.

Once it is stock,

Download overcome kernel 4.0 tar.

Unpack the zImage,

Then ./heimdall flash --kernel zImage

Just because you are using heimdall doesn't mean you don't need to read the guide.

Read it and you see that you flash stock, THEN, you flash overcome kernel.

And I said so too when I mentioned heimdall above.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DichEd:
I don't really have the full knowledge of the internals, that's why I ask.

I unpacked the GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip and from within the GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar. I put the p1000_mr.pit file in that directory.

With this command:

./heimdall flash --kernel zImage --cache cache.rfs --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --pit gt-p1000_mr.pit

I get the following message:

Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.

Local and device PIT files don't match and repartition wasn't specified!
ERROR: Flash aborted!
Ending session...

Sorry, the guide I saw was explicitly for Odin (and with very poor screenshots) , which obviously handles the input files a little differently then heimdal. Maybe I didn't find the corresponding part for heimdal?

Whatever, when I omit the pit file keeping all the rest (for the stock flash), then I flash the overcome kernel with heimdal, it boots, then starts to talk to me (everybody gets started in the room ;) ), then I'm able to flash the CM ROM! All fine so far, EXCEPT that AOSP keyboard crashes. Now I have no idea if that sort of a failure could be caused by misreading the guide, doing something wrong in the process of flashing, OR it's some kind of incompatibility of overcome kernel with CM roms?

The stock+overcome combination has no problems with the keyboard...

Small update-correction: The keyboard problems start only when flashing the gapps on top of CM ROM!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
That is not what I mean.

The guide has these steps:

1. Odin flash GB-stock-safe-v5

2. Odin flash Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar

what do you think you need to do if you were using heimdall?

Hint: the same, just use heimdall on that two DIFFERENT packages (after untarring of course, heimdall don't handle tar)

In your original post, you said you unpack GB-stock-safe-v5 and flash the kernel using heimdall.

The edit was more correct, you flashed the whole GB-stock-save,

Anyway, what you did there is now correct

You use the wrong gapps

http://goo.im/gapps

CM10 use gapps for CM10

CM10.1 use gapps for CM10.1

Some people may go ahead of themselves and think that there is a gapps 10.1 why not I use it on my CM10... No, you can't.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DichEd:
Now it finally works! Thanks a bunch!

Just wanna tell you - it wasn't really my assumption to use this gapps for CM10, but directly downloaded from the CM wiki for p1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_p1

Same true (e.g. not working links and instructions) for the kernel image hosted there. I suppose I'm going to post the proper sequence there now.

Thanks again!
[HTC Wildfire S] ChrisChorlton:
Hi

I rooted my Wildfire S 3 months ago. Resulting in Memory Heaven - lots of large apps got installed. I had about 35MB free. Over time that has become 20MB.

Suddenly in one day that shrunk to 3MB free without any new apps installed. I can't fix it - I uninstall apps and it stays the same because they are all linked to the SD. The Cache is only 28KB. I know you'll all say factory reset, but if I can identify the cause first I can stop it happening again.

Thanks in advance for all the great replies!

I rooted my phone today in order to install the updated lightflow. I was also playing to TB and freezing a few samsung apps

as well as AT&T apps. I just realized that my calendar widget has just disappeared! The calendar is still there and usable.

Only the widget is gone and is showing up in the list. I used to use it a lot. How can I get it back? I am pretty sure that I have

not uninstalled or deleted anything. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hapticxchaos:
are you using an alternative launcher? im purdy sure most wiz apps are only availble with twlauncher. also, the first thing you should do when rooting is make a complete untouched backup in recovery ;)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Altair8800:
I do not know what I did wrong to cause the problem. But the solution was simple. The app widget was called

SPlannerappwidget.apk. Got it back from a previous Titanium backup.

You can also copy it from anywhere (wherever you can get it from incase you have deleted it) using Root Explorer and paste it to /system/apps/ and fix the permissions to "rw-r-r--" for it.

Done.

Do not thank me though. Thank miztaken1312.

If you search for SPlannerAppWidget.apk you'll see 2 or 3 places to download from.

I ended up using Root Browser lite to move the file and change permissions, since the app is free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carn1x:
Everywhere I've read this question posed online replies either say it can't be done, or it would require root, however there's little elaboration on that point.

Just wondering whether this has been cracked yet? It seems like a widget that would see a lot of use if it existed and was known about. I'm quite surprised the information isn't exposed as a permission, but I guess Google simply have bigger fish to fry.

Thanks for any advice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jblade1000:
yeah i recently started to look into a simple data usuage widget that uses what the phone is already measuing only to find no one has done it (obviously my search brought me to this thread).

Im currently testing out 3 different (free) widgets but the problem with all of them is they can only measure data used since installation, not data the OS has already been tracking via the Data Usuage screen within settings. Exposing that data to a widget would be awesome and useful. This would be a great thing if someone were to bring this to market even if it required root. There's certainly has to be a demand...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgardner:
I know I'm resurrecting a semi-old thread, but I too am looking for something like this and can't believe it's not available yet. Anyone know of one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jblade1000:
I never found one that pulled directly from the system metrics but the best one I've seen and currently use is wali data usage defender. It allows you to track mobile data, wifi, or both, you can put in when your billing cycle ends, your limit, data already used so far, warnings/notifications at preset thresholds, and more.

[General Questions and Answers] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

I was able to use an app "Root Uninstall" (???) to uninstall some apps that came with my Tablet (see sig).

However, now, when I goo into the Market to check for updates to apps that are on my Tablet, they show up as apps that have updates waiting. The GMail app that comes with every Android Phone/Tablet is one perfect example.

The apps are uninstalled. They no longer appear as installed apps. This is just what often happens, when you uninstall apps that came with the device and don't use an app designed for uninstalling apps that came with the system and "system apps". The uninstall app I used is a nice one and it's free and it has worked well with apps that came with the system and with "system apps" and usually prevents this from happening. But for some reason, these three are doing it anyway. Of course they are. <lol> :)

Is there any way to remove these from the system's update check? If I decide to turn "Auto-Update" on, then they're going to end up being reinstalled. And even if I don't turn that feature on, it's a pain to see that "3 Updates are Available" Notification every time I fire up my Tablet and so of course, I'd like to get rid of the notification, which will only happen by getting them out of that "check for updates" task somehow.

Help? Somebody? Please? :)

Thanks,

A ROM is basically a complete operating system that you can install (flash) onto your phone in place of the stock ROM.

ROM Manager is not the only source of ROMs, the best way to find them is by searching "(phone model) roms" or "(phone model) ics/jb rom" or "(phone model) cm7/cm9/cm10"
[General Questions and Answers] Zeuszoos:
What I need to do, is to get a CWM ROM that works with my tablet (see sig). I installed ROM Mgr Prem and went to do the install of the Recovery Mgr and it said it installed v5.8.3.4, but it still boots to factory menu and they don't have one available for mine yet, I guess. I just used the CWM when I put it on my Samsung, because it was easy and the default in CWM's ROM Mgr. I wrote to them, but no response and right now, I can;t do my backups from the util. Not that I know exactly what it's backing up, but it's worked recovering before on my Samsung, so I use it.

I also need to figure out how to be able to overclock my ASUS (I already have a paid app). I guess I have to install a kernel???

The problem is, there's really nothing out there that's a "See **** Run" that explains all of these terms, exactly what they are and why you want them. Each and every "explanation" I've read, assumes a certain level of knowledge is already present.

I'm nervous about just going and grabbing this or that and installing it, because remember, I have no way to back up my current config. Anything happens and I'm screwed and have to do a factory reset and perform days of work to get it configured the way I have it now again. That's why I was hoping to be able to install CWM's ROM Mgr, which I already paid for and then their "Recovery Manager" which would change my boot backup/recovery menu and allow me to do backups and restore if needed. I like their ROM Mgr, because I can tell it to backup from within the app and it reboots for me, goes into the menu and does it, all automagically! :) Now if only they would respond to my email. It is their ROM after all.

Plus I have no idea what kernel would work. And the ones I read about are all experimental and have WiFi bugs, or this, or that and don't even support my device anyway, since it is a brand new model that just came out a month or two ago.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help me out. I really appreciate it. If you have any advice, I'm all ears!
