[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] cheatman:
Hi, I stumbled across this thread while trying to set up my environment to do kernel work for another device (S7562, not that it matters). The problem is that my zImage (extracted from stock Samsung ROM) does not contain any gzip archive and I can't extract the initramfs. I am asking here because I also tried using the script attached in the first post without success.

Essentially, my stock zImage does not seem to contain the hexa string "1f 8b 08" in this order. I tried with scripts and I tried it manually as well:

grep -a -b --only-matching `perl -e'print "\x1F\x8B\x08"'` zImage

That returns nothing for this kernel. Works fine for others though and I've successfully done this procedure using other ROMs from Samsung in the past. I can provide the initial boot.img and the zImage extracted from the boot.img. Let me know.

Edit - SOLVED: My image did not contain the ramdisk zipped, it was just the compiled kernel.

Thanks,

C.

I would like to know, how to make recovery booting first, because when boot loop appears I have to flash my OB with SFT to launch recovery and restore rom. Ubuntu haves grub and if Ubuntu crashes user can go to the recovery and repair his computer. Is it possible to make CWM recovery with 10 sec. timeout till android starts ?
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
AFAIK the only thing you can do about it is button combo to start in recovery right away, most roms make the combo power + volume up when leds start flashing.

I think i read somewhere what you want can't be done but I'm not sure if that is true, couldn't find the thread where this was stated

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corkie1:
Hi all

I've just upgraded my nexus to JB. I have a couple of quick questions.

1) I had the phone setup as my own using my own google account. I gave the phone to my partner who now uses it. All the apps and tweaks are still there when my partner signed in using her google ID. The problem is when she checks for updates to the apps it only shows updates to the apps she installed under her own name. I wouldn't mind having to uninstall and reinstall a few but there are so many tweaks on it at this stage it would take ages. When you browse to the play store and find the app the only option given is uninstall or open - no option to upgrade although there are a few updates available for most of the apps?

2) Since updating to JB the lock screen is kind of funny. I use a pin lock but when you wake up the phone it gives half a transparent image so you see all the icons on the home screen as well as the keypad lock. I'm using go launcher. Spent a good while looking to fix this but couldn't see the optioin anywhere. I have updated go launcher to latest version

Thanks all

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdamizer:
So I have, until now, been content with a locked boot loader on my tab. I rooted it back on .30, but installed the jb firmware when it was released, so I no longer have root. I've been looking into it and it looks like there's a way to restore my root, but that's not really my question. I'm wondering if there's a way to unlock my boot loader now and start trying out some custom ROMs. On the Asus website it says the tool is only available for ICS. Has anyone tried it anyways? There's no workaround that I missed, is there? Apologies in advance for my noobieness and thank you for any input.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozyman:
If you check the thread here he says he unlocked the bootloader after updating to JB, so yes apparently it works anyways. :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdamizer:
So then what was his mistake? Using CWM? Trying to install an ICS ROM after taking the JB OTA? Haha saying "device unlocked" on the boot animation is meaningless if it boot loops.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoheld:
Dear 10.1 forum,

i come to you from your little brother the Galaxy Tab 8.9.

Now i know this forum is for the 10.1 only but sadly we hardly have any devs for our device and we have run into quite a serious problem, so please hear me out.

One of our last devs made a port from the P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8 and P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL ICS release.

Flashed fine and all was good but now we have really erratic battery behaviour!

The tab, better put the android OS, keeps thinking the battery is discharged, when however it still has loads of battery left. CWM can be booted and run for 5 hours or more.

So some of us let the battery run out completely (in cwm) then charged it fully and wiped stats. booted again and some now don't have any more issues. some still have some.

here is a pic from my discharge and you will quickly see that something is f*cked:

1. The tab starts out alright with normal drain while surfing, watching news etc

2. i turned the screen off for a while and had a massive drop in only a few minutes

3. turned it on again and the discharge seemed normal

4. switch to flightmode for the night (i always do that) and turned off the screen.

5. the next morning i woke up to a switched off tab. i turned it on and the android OS told me the battery was empty. i shut it down.

6. i then hooked it up to the charger (for only a minute) and proceeded to boot. the system then once again read the correct battery stats at about 60% just about where it was last night before i turned the screen off.

can anybody maybe shed any light on this issue?

this is affecting quite a lot of us in the 8.9 forum and is a pretty big issue as you can see.

some people even report of this problem carrying over to another ROM! which just completely baffels me...

please help your little brothers out ;)

thanks a lot

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FillTheVoid:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1215182

This method of calibration worked for me a while back when my tab was displaying this exact same erratic battery reading. The op gives a thorough explanation but it amounts to:

1. Charge tab to 100%

2. Power down for 1 hour

3. Power on (my tab was at 96%)

4. Drain to 46%

5. Power of for 5 hours or over night.

Your tab should start reading the battery accurately after this. Good luck! If it works repost to your fellows in the 8.2 forum.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
thanks for that link. Looks like an interesting thread !

PS: based only on reading that thread (no experimentation yet) it seems like the OP changed the procedure a little along the line... He added the new procedure to post #1, but it's also in other posts, e.g. #41 and #161.

QUOTING vlad_z (minor edit for clarity)

here is calibration procedure which was modified down this thread ...

1. in normal Android or CWM/recovery let it sit till battery in terminal will show less then 3700. The less you can get it the better. 3400 is probably absolute minimum.

The most sure way to check this is in terminal, execute this command:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

or through adb:

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

your good discharged start point should be anything below 3700 (3.7V).
If your tab is telling that you have 0% capacity but voltage is more then
3700 then keep rebooting tab (this will refresh counter for a moment) or
just boot in CWM and let tab run/sit there for some time.

2. shut down tab and let it sit for 1 hour at least

3. plug it to charger and charge it for 5 hours.

(PS: does not matter whether tab is on or off in this phase)

4. disconnected charger and let it sit for 1 hour. (turned off)

5. boot up your tab and test it, it your battery still not calibrated you can flash back your backup and repeat calibration procedure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
drat...

why did I do what I did :-/

so, I was on P7510 port for P7310/P7300, and no battery issues.

I decided to do the battery calibration method described by vlad_z (the 2nd method, with 1 hour power-off at dead and at full battery).

Since then, my battery reading in Android is

- dropping rapidly (about 25% per hour of use)

- jumping higher after a system restart...

so I actually uncalibrated it using this method :(

I think I'll try vlad_z 1st method now, hope for the best.

I'm not trying to get my hopes up too high but i think i might of got my partial SBK.I was reading this guide i found on recovering it and decided to try it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751978

This is what i came up with on my phone:

0x00000012a33080

Basically most of it seems correct besides all the zeros at the beginning.Not really sure why it won't connect the key in nvflash.Any ideas?When i run it in the sbcalc program i get something similar to the how it should look from an android device.The tutorial says you should have a 64 bit ubuntu/linux system,but there is an option to change the code for 32 bit.If someone out there that has a 64 bit machine maybe they could try it out:

make sure your phone is plugged into the usb port,and the phone is off.

open a terminal,then sudo su(make sure your root)

then this command watch -n2 lsusb (apx doesnt always show up so this keeps checking until it does)

hold down u+s+b plus power on the phone (sometimes i hold then let go of the power while holding the buttons)

once you see something like (Bus 001 Device 031: ID 0955:7416 NVidia Corp) you are in apx mode(ctrl + c to stop the watch command)

after that you need to make the apx.c file.Go back to this guide and follow the instructions on the top on how to make it.The most important thing to do is to change the code ( 0x0955, 0x7820 ) to whatever it says from the lsusb command.Mine is like this( 0x0955, 0x7416 )Once you make the .apx file just open another terminal (make sure its root)then run ./apx

It should pop out a number similar to mine.If you end up with a code something else besides all those zero at the beginning,then there is a chance it make work when we run it in Nvflash :)

From there goto this website and enter the code in there (delete the x)

http://a500bootloaderflash.tk/sbkcalc/

It should spit out a code like this: 0x07B91000 0x204AF201 0xD09B1103 0xF768F302

So after that you would go back into terminal (sudo su) then run nvflash like this:

./nvflash --sbk 0x07B91000 0x204AF201 0xD09B1103 0xF768F302

If were lucky then it should pop up a whole bunch of info.:)My hope is that someone will know a little bit more on what i might be doing wrong with the code to get this working correctly.I believe it must be doing something though as it will only display that code when in apx mode.It's getting late over here and spent too many hours trying to figure this out tonight.lol.Let me know if anyone needs help.Good luck.
[KIN One and Two General] cadogan32:
update

I setup another computer with ubuntu 12.04 x64 and configured a new apx file once again:

0x00fcfe12a33080

It looks like i got closer but still need 15 digits past the 0x to make a correct SBK.Nvflash wasnt having anything i tried so far.I'm still looking for a way to fix this.
