Jagger,

The ec09 kernel you are on hasn't been hacked for boot animations. Imnuts never got around to it. The EC07 kernel ciscogee posted has, but you'd be back to the 'appy sdcard:update.zip" method of getting into cwm. So, it's going to be a matter of which one you want more. The fix you referenced should work for you, though.

I would, however, extract the bootani.qmg and samsungbootloop.qmg and place them manually, as opposed to flashing the zip, though. Or, at the very least, make a nandroid before flashing (which you should be doing, anyway).
[Continuum General] Jaggar345:
So

So this means if I want the cyborg boot animation I have to replace the two files with it? And yes I have always been making a nandroid backup when flashing new files.
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
That is what I would try

I don't know if I can get an answer here, but is there any source files for U-boot to let me able to boot boot.img and recovery.img directly? Currently I can only manually pack uImages for kernel and ramdisk and boot them using bootm command.

P.S. I am the project leader of ipaq214android
[HD2 General] microcell:
Hello,

Would somebody advise if the HSPL 2.08 unlocks the HD2 to use with different carrier? Long time ago I unlocked my T-Mobile HD to be used with custom ROMs. Today I switched service from T-Mobile to AT&T and found HD2 asking me for unlock PIN. I thought the phone was carrier unlocked with HSPL.

Is there a way to get the unlock pin for the phone for free,besides calling T-Mobile?

Thanks
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
No!

HSPL only unlocks it to be flashed to another ROM.

In your case you need a sim/network unlock code.

If you have a contract with TMobile you should ask them an unlock code, otherwise you should buy one on-line(ebay or whatever).
[HD2 General] microcell:
That's what I figured. Thanks for clarification.
[HD2 General] jhakjhuk1853:
what if it does not ask for PIN still shows no network

what if it does not ask for PIN still shows no network
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Could be a few things.

But some questions first.

1) Are you on Winmo or Android or WP7?

2) Are you 100% sure your SIM card is in the phone correctly?
[HD2 General] jhakjhuk1853:
I am on Winmo also have tried using wp7 and android but no luck

I will try stock kernal and see if that makes a difference. But I also am not able to transfer a lot of files (over 2 gb combined) to my internal storage. It BSODs. Just seems weird.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vivekvp:
Hello,

I bought a Galaxy Tab GT-P7510 (Android 3.1) because I thought I was getting a good deal and not going to pay Mac prices...

Also, I like Google and their direction.

Hoping for a bit of help.

Here we go:

1) I have a Nokia N8 (yes, still a fan) which only produces Ad Hoc Networks which I was hoping to tether my Tab to. But Android does not support.

Found a site which helps and is quite clear. //androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets

of course my device is not rooted.

Looked on the app store for rooting programs - could find none for this tablet - anyone know of one I can use?? z4root did not show up in my market. Guess it does not work on the tablet?

2) Tried to install Samsung App right out of the box - it downloads but tells me install failed....Tab setting set to Allow installation of non-Market apps. I could not find in the Market. Help?

3) Why can't I find the - {minus sign}?

4) Am I able to download a Market app to my computer - then drop it on my Tablet and 'execute' it?

Ok, I expect to take my share of NOOB flak. Apologies in advance. Hope to get smart enough to eventually help some other people....

Thanks!

PS how many of you get the Captcha on the first go?

My friend...no one post can give you everything you need. You have MUCH reading to do...just letting you know in advance. If people just answered questions like yours you would not learn anything...and that's not me being rude, that is the honest truth. :)

You will find all the information you need to root your tablet on this forum. Check the Q&A and Dev sections for easy to follow guides for your wifi tab. READ VERY CAREFULLY AND DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE POSITIVE YOU HAVE IT RIGHT. The questions you are asking have been asked six bazillion times in this forum...don't think your questions are unique. That's rule #1.

Once you are rooted there are lots of tether options and yes you can write apks (apps) from your computer directly to your tab and install. That's what that Unknown Sources thing does.

Be persistent and patient at the same time...and another piece of advice....most that read a subject line like yours will not even open your post. ;)

Good luck to you! Come back to this thread in a month, bump it and let us know where you're at!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BretonGirl:
Are you sure you have a Galaxy Tab? It comes with the Market (now called Google Play) installed already. As as far as rooting goes, do a search. There are several helpful guides posted.

The minus sign is on the keyboard next to the plus sign.

CAPTCHA is normal-all new members have to deal with it for their first couple of dozen posts.

Applications>Security is where you'll find the Allow installation of non-market apps check box. That said, the Samsung app store sucks.

Read your user manual and all the helpful stickies here. Tons of useful info to be found!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510 (wifi only)

I had recently switched from Task 14 to stock ICS which I rooted and I was running A1 kernel. Everything was going great.

I decided to switch to Pershoot's latest. I was following the instructions and updated to the latest recovery as he stated should be done. That went fine.

Then I went to flash the kernel. While flashing the kernel the tab lost power. I'm not sure how, but I was charging/plugged into the PC when it happened.

I tried quick pressing the power button thinking the screen just went to sleep but nothing. I waited quite a while figuring it was just rebooting but after an hour or so I decided to long press power on. Still nothing.

I only get a black screen, no back light, no logo, nothing. Every button press combination I've tried gives no response. Using the wall charger makes no sound when plugging in.

The ONLY response from the tab is being able to get it to show up as an APX device showing up in the device manager.

While searching for a remedy I came across an old rooting thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574] that used Nvflash and thought I'd give it a try since I thought maybe that would get me back where I could odin back to stock, but I only get error messages or a flashing prompt no matter what I try. I know little about Nvflash but have repeated the instructions several times with always the same results.

Such as:

"nvflash --sync or nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go (results in)

Nvflash started

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)"

and I have to set the tab back into APX mode because it disconnects.

Since this is the only way I can get any connection to my tab, does anyone have the knowledge to get me from here to stock or even download mode so I can use odin??

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pep71:
Can you get into recovery mode?

1 Hold 'vol down' and 'power' buttons on tablet

Don't be shy hold them for 30+ seconds

2 Release 'power' when samsung image is shown

3 Release 'vol down' when the two icons are shown

4 Use the 'vol down' to navigate between the icons

5 Highlight the left icon (box)

6 Press the 'vol up' to select it and boot into recovery mode

You may just not be doing step 1 for long enough? Worth a try!!

Good Luck

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azncookiecutter:
Same problem here, was restoring a nandroid backup and power went out, now only a black screen, no matter how long I hold down the power button.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Thanks, but pretty experienced flashing and can't get into any mode but APX. I've held every combination I know of all for a few minutes. I even searched and found one I didn't know of but everything is still black screen only.

I am about to mess with it again to check battery drain from guide by Misledz and will try your suggestion just in case I missed holding the combo for recovery/download mode long enough. I will be amazed if it was that simple, and smack myself in the head.

I'll report back shortly.

:(

UPDATE

: Unfortunately no such luck for an easy fix. Held the button held the Power and Vol- down together several times for at least 2 minutes each time. Still get NOTHING and only APX mode which is how Misledz suggests checking to see if battery is completely drained. Hoped it would be drained when I got home today but computer still recognizes it in APX. When it doesn't pop up it in devices it will be drained completely and hopefully I can get his method to work from there.

Any other suggestions from ANYONE on something I may have missed or not be trying correctly would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Someone posted in Pershoot's kernel thread almost exactly what happened to me...

Personally having so much RESPECT for Pershoot's knowledge I consider this this to be my only options also.

So my search ends unless someone has some magic up their sleeve. :silly:

This is the link to the battery drain guide by Misledz mentioned. Pershoot just says tape the power button but this link is an actual guide to the method of draining the battery and getting your tab back.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1478361

Here is Pershoot's response to the other user with the same issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmatt604:
That's an incredibly detailed guide. Thanks for linking, I just subscribed!

Let us know how this goes man. Seriously interested...I might add stories like this are why I will only flash stuff with a battery charged to more than 50 on a laptop that is not connected to the wall, and am super OCD on the condition of my cables lol! I hope this never happens of course but can't predict the future and am grateful so many great peeps are here to help each other out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Yeah. Misledz has helped MANY people "un-brick" their tabs even when a drain was not needed.

It was a totally FREAK occurrence of this happening to me. Still not sure what exactly went wrong. I've flashed and flashed since I've owned the tab. I've had many soft-bricks which I quickly got out of, but this one was throwing me for a loop.

I was going to PM Pershoot to look at this question and

BOOM

there was my answer in his thread!

I'll keep this post updated. I just wish the drain didn't take so long. Hoping it's done by the beginning of next week or I'm sending it in since I'm still under warranty and can't seem to have a good day without my tab in hand. But if I send it in I can't confirm or deny if the drain method worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
For a moment I lol'd when Pershoot had basically mentioned the same steps I had written down, Makes me wonder how many have read that without my knowledge :P

On another note, there's good news and bad news, the bad news, you get 0x4 and that means you have a locked bootloader which is why APX mode fails for you, It's written on the first line of the APX thread you linked " If you get the 0x4 error then you have a locked tablet."

The good news is your tablet is safe, I know most would find this difficult to agree with but Sammy products are potentially hard to brick. In most cases the power outage happened probably with a disconnection or kernel wasn't supported, it's like a fuse that trips to save the device from being further damaged I suppose is the best way to put it,

Anyways, yeah you may need to tape that bad boy down. If you haven't charged it recently, Then that's good it makes it easier to be drained. If you don't have the USB mod that charges the tab when connected to the PC then you're good. Otherwise you need to have it taped down and hope it drains that way.

There's still a way to fix it :) Thing is your locked loader just makes APX commands useless now. If it wasn't then you can push busybox or something and get adb up and running.

PS: I hope your tab was atleast 50% or less to have it drained faster. The drain process is really slow I admit. Not exactly sure how many mAh the battery of the tab is but having it connected all day would be a good start to get it down to atleast 10% battery
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Thanks for the reassurance of hope. I hate the thought of sending it in for repair. It was around 20-30% charged. So I hoping for only a few days of discharge.

I am confused on one specific part. Is just keeping the power button taped or in my case down with hair ties enough?

I know plug it in the PC to check to see if it pops up the APX in devices and so far it has always popped up, but of course back off and back up, etc.

I think my ultimate question is "Do I need to keep it plugged in to the computer for it to loop or will keeping it unplugged and the power button down drain it?".

Will it drain faster plugged in the PC or unplugged?

Again thanks for the help bro.

HOLY SMOKES. I never actually realized that I had made it to the front page D: LOL, Well this comes a surprise. No wonder the thread has been vamped up every now and then. Made me wonder about that.

And well, You need to have it taped down, unplugged, It's a bit slow but it takes quite the power to boot it up and when it fails, it just boots up again which is crazy but would normally go on for a day, and yeah anything that keeps the power button completely pressed. Normally its the tape that seems to do a better job, the ties would just loose their elasticity over time I suppose? :p

And it doesn't matter plugged or not, as long as you don't have a USB module that charges it.

Still, can't believe I made it to the front page LOL.

Hey Benzoman find yourself a old USB 1.0 device and the Samsung USB adapter like I have!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSHV:
I am sorry to tell this but i think there is no other solution but sending it back to Samsung and probably they will replace the mainboard and lucky you still under warranty. I have done some researches about this problem since I have the 8.9 tab with the same problem and results are that there is no use of apx mode or nvflash for the bootlocked devices (rcm version 0x4) unless you have the SBK (secure boot key) which is yet unknown for Samsung devices (note that other devices like Acer ICONIA TAB A100 use a calculator to generate the sbk from CPUID number I also tried this method but didn’t work .and the asus tabs use different methods too) ,even the jtag method is not supported for 10.1 and 8.9 tabs (only supports 7.7” and 7” tabs) which seems to be the last hope for other devices in such cases of hard brick . And I think even Samsung can’t fix it and they are only going to replace the mainboard. Finally I tried the Misledz method but with unplugging the battery without draining it (I remember Misledz mentioned that taking the battery out is the same as draining it to zero %) but nothing happened and the device still dead. So my question before I send the device back to Samsung (I am not covered by warranty and the cost will be huge)

is taking the battery out really as same as draining it to zero???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugs9477:
I did just that this morning and it did the same thing as draining the battery.....tab is still dead!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
I wish I had the adapter so I could drain it faster. That was a

great

idea! I would love to prove Misledz method works or not for me.

I made the mistake of leaving mine plugged in the PC too long and my last kernel I flashed has USB charge enabled so any discharge I was getting was being over powered and the tab was actually charging instead of discharging. Now most likely being fully charged or nearly full at least. I read in another thread using this method that one person got about 10% per day drain but I'm old and may not live long enough for it to drain completely now. :eek:

I know this has helped many people, as I've seen and participated in many of the threads Misledz has helped people using his method. But it also seems it will not fix every tab. I know Misledz has personally fixed several for himself and many others have successfully used his method. Many have failed but I think the ones that have failed may have hardware issues and just appear to have the same issues as have been fixed using Misledz battery drain method. I wish I had some extra tabs to "break" in special ways to prove and disprove what exactly what Misledz method fixes. I may do so this winter since I'll have extra time and money to get 2 or 3. There are several other things I want to test on these also so it would be a fun (or possibly maddening) winter.

I don't have the patience to wait for the battery to drain, and being I'm still under warranty I will be sending this in tomorrow. I've already chatted with tech support, unfortunately already knowing and doing everything they wanted me to try. I went ahead and did everything they said except when they wanted me to charge it for 6 hours...lol I told them it had just came off a 12 hour charge right before this happened so he skipped to the next thing the script on his computer screen told him to have me try. After almost an hour, mostly waiting for him to "get required information" from somewhere on his computer or manual, wherever, I ended up with a service request page and a label to print to send it in for repair. This was really my only reason for chatting with them in the first place. I pretty much knew they were not going to really help, because their "script" only allows things be said that I was sure I already knew and/or already tried.

So, sometime tomorrow my Tab starts it's journey to Plano Texas to be repaired. Hopefully in less than 2-3 weeks I'll have it back like new. With my lack of patience it is going to seem like forever.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
I was told it takes about 30-45 working days :confused: I wish there was a way to generate a key for the 0x4 locked tabs. Would be amazing to get that working. The bootloader tends to get killed really easily. Ironic since Samsung should have seen this coming that flashing and upgrading is an essential thing so to look into the matters addressed and hope that there is a solution aside from the draining method.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Got my tab back today. Took less than two weeks. Very cool.

When I had it last before the brick, I was running OTA ICS rooted using sockmonkeys sticky guide and the same files I rooted with before ICS. It rooted my tab perfectly fine with that method and files last time even though I was on stock ICS.

When I got it back today it was already ICS. About the first thing I did was try to root so I could restore some tibu stuff. Sadly immediately ran into to rolling recovery issue. I know enough that I was able to restore quickly without searching and reading forever.

Now for reading the many threads on the rolling issue...ugh.

Anyone want to save me some time and link to a recovery for me to Odin that wont roll?

Please? LOL

EDIT:

After a LONG NIGHT of searching, reading, flashing. I'm up and running smooth.

Fixed rolling recovery with this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41

That fixed the rolling recovery, but then after flashing Toldo's ROM from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831040 I got a rolling screen on wake lock every time.

So I fixed it with this from Pershoot's boot loader 4.0.4_bootloader.tar.md5 from here http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/ But that only fixed the rolling on wake and the rolling in recovery was back.

Then I came across this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31153208&postcount=5 Finally no more rolling recovery or on wake lock.

Maybe the above grouped links will get someone out of rolling recovery and if needed after out of rolling on wake.

It took me almost all night to get the correct order and files from searching and reading. :eek:

For now no problems, but we'll see as I do some more playing around. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_Another_N00b:
By Jove! You might have just found a way to help 25-30% of the people who have either scrolling recovery, or scrolling wake-up.

I wish to thank you for the effort and results of the issue. I will follow this method and see if it works just as well for me too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Hope it helps. Please post your results.

I was gonna take this experience and make a thread "How I fixed rolling recovery and rolling on wake lock." Then I realized I really don't have the time or patience to help everyone that might reply in the thread needing help. There are too many variables to make a guide that works for everyone. It took me a lot more threads and posts on how to fix it than the 3 I posted, but only the three I posted applied to my situation and had the files I needed to get both problems fixed. So the information and files are out there already but just takes forever to find relevant posts and working links, and such.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
One thing is there are different versions for recovery, i remember this being mentioned by pershoot and you would need to flash the v6 and perhaps see if it happens again buddy :eek:
