[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jtdc:
thanks alot for this fix. but it doesn't work. i did the commands using android terminal emulator and while rooted. when i rebooted the P7510, i got android is updating advice, then after a few seconds i was prompted again for the language, date, and tablet owner name. after that my apps and data are still there, good (cos i thought the device wiped itself). so then i placed a pattern lock, but still don't happen. when i press power, device just shuts down.

any other suggestion?

When reporting such, please copy the whole output/screenshot so I can help :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jtdc:
thanks for the reply sir! i will try to get the screenshot, but i doubt if it would be of any help. the commands you gave are pretty straightforward, its basically that the file /efs/imei/keystr should have 'ON' inside it and device rebooted. i see it is owned by radio:system (after the chown). there were no errors in doing the procedure, its simple commands i ran on the Android Terminal Emulator (i am rooted and permission is granted). i ran this on normal environment, not recovery.

As a backgrounder, i had experienced this since January when i got the tab back from Samsung after it had a faulty display.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20939389#post20939389

then i began to update thru this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1371568&page=2

i would want to try the temporary solution by doing it on the Factory Mode icon, but i recall to have deleted it and i can't find it anymore.

Way back I ran Galaxy Task 13 Slim ROM, the issue is resolved there, lock screen is back, no more factory mode. Hence I stuck with that ROM for some time. I tried Task 14 next but the issue returned, so i reverted back to 13. Eventually I updated to ICS (from Task650 also), but still got this same issue so just learned to live with it.

Finally I saw a light when I saw this thread, but alas, I am still unlucky :P

I intend to put a jellybean rom when I got time, I am hoping that fixes it (perhaps together with your discovered solution), what do you think?

Thanks for this thread and your valuable help :)

Why don't you apply the fix from the first post?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] staticshadow:
I tried. And it didn't work. Factory mode has never been an issue for me. Just the lock screen and power.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tracid:
Please show me the output of the commands.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jtdc:
just an update, that i have moved on with this issue. galaxy task 13 way before fixed this lockscreen missing, and i lived with that rom for some time. when v14 came out, the issue went back. stock ics, still have the problem. that is when i posted on this thead, even with the mentioned procedure, still have the issue.

finally, moving on to a custom ics (revolution rom) the lockscreen was restored. and now, running cm10 (10-20121112-EXPERIMENTAL-p4wifi), lockscreen still present. so i use that for now and its good enough to be my daily driver.

so basically some roms fix it, you just have to try them and stick to the one which works best for you, until another newer version comes along.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] orenxda:
Same here, happened on my tab 7.7 GT-P6800:

I sent my device to service center because my sim card wasn't detected anymore.

2 weeks later I came to pick it up, they "updraded software (actually downgraded from 4 to 3.2) + replaced mainboard + replaced sim card reader...

Coming back home I found it had all the problems mentioned in this thread apart from "Open lock icon at boot screen"

I phoned to Samsung, said to send them back again :/

7594 code in factory mode: bow was already unchecked so no use.

I tried the ADB way and your command lines, and that fixed the mess!

So thank you for reporting that!

Hello

I have a htc sensation xe but with a htc sensation data and informations , I do not know if this is a manufacturing error or the previous owner flashed another kernel or whatever (see photos)

installed android version is the latest available (see photos yet)

The imei under the battery is : 358313049963783; and when I do : *#06# I have : 358313043952576

Do I have to flash another kernel or something else, knowing that it is s-off?

thank you

about differents imei the only thing that i can think is probably the device has been replaced with a new motherboard
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Is the IMEI the same as the one on the box?

& im guessing it just has a Regular Sensation ROM on it, not an XE ROM
[HTC Sensation] octopus82:
Maybe, but I think and I hope that's an problem of kernel

I think that is the same roms for sensation and sensation xe

Now I have installed coredroid rom; in the information of phone now the is sensation xe, but still 1.2 Ghz for processor; and when i do *"06# I still have another imei than under the battery

I think that the kernel flashed the first time is not the true

What do you think ? and what kernel you advise me?

Thank's

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] anonymonium:
Installed most recent CM10 nightly this morning and thought it would be a good idea to encrypt it. So, I went into settings>security>encrypt, and encrypted the phone. After rebooting, the phone would prompt for the password. After entering the password, the phone would bring me to the lock screen, I swipe in and a few moments later, I'd be greeted with the Cyanogenmod boot animation. After that, it would boot loop either at the animation, or I would get the lock screen again and, again, moments later, it would bring me back to the boot animation.

SO.

I decided to Odin back to stock. Everything went well and passed and was all ice cream and rainbows, I got the Sprint boot animation. But then, OHH then. Then I get the prompt to enter my password to decrypt again, so I enter it, get the green android gear encryption symbol, and it reboots. After getting the Sprint boot animation again, I am currently stuck at the Samsung animation bit right after that. It's been at that logo/animation for about 10 minutes now. So, I'm worried. Is there any other way to decrypt? I'm freaking out man. Please help.

Edit: Solved- After flashing back to stock in Odin, I went to stock recovery and wiped data and cache. Booted up allz normal now. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robotr0n:
Can anyone help me please ?

If I try to flash any ROM (Tried to install paranoindandroid, Ressurection Rom, Slim Rom) I get stucked in endless bootloop. From time to time the phone boots ROM, but only thing that happens is that I see "Enter your PIN code" for like 1-2 secs and then phone restarts and bootloop continues. Fortunately, I have Nandroid backup of my previous ROM which is old like hell (It´s RebelAOKP 1.3 ROM) so I can download other ROMs from xda. I tried full wipe, flashing other kernels, flashing ROM several times, fixing permissions and I don´t know, everything what is in CWM.

I´m so frustrated, whole day I´m searching for solution but I can´t find anything helpfull so I hope that someone will help me. Please be good to me I´m little bit noob but flashed lot of ROMs and this happens to me for first time. I will appreciate every response.

If i get your question very well,

1. Your device can only boot if you restore your old ROM.

2. Anytime you flash a new ROM, you always end up in bootloops

Please correct me if i got something wrong.

B.

Please provide answers to these questions:

1. What's your ROM details? Press include your phone's model no (goto SETTINGS -About, post everything you see)

2. Was your device carrier branded?

3. Was your device SIMlocked?

- wipe dalvik cache

- flash ROM

- flash gapps (gapps 4.1)

How to do a logcat

Ok so this is what i do.

. Download attachment and extract anywhere

.Open up Platform-tools folder and hold Shift+right click on an empty space within the folder.

.Click on "Open command window here"

.In the command window, type "adb logcat"

.Plug in device & turn it on

.It should do a logcat

leave it for about 1 min then disconnect device. Right click the logcat and select mark then highlight all and right click again. go to pastebin.com or something like that then paste it and save and give us the link.

hope this helps

Before u return ur friend's phone dont forget to restore his old rom

Note : u can just put ur sdcard in his phone and make the backup on ur sdcard ( then u wont need a pc To transfer the backup )

Team,

I am owning a HOX, and i am very pleased with this piece of equipment, so i have decided to try couple of roms, each time i want to change a rom i make a back up copy in case i want to come back.

My clockmod recovery contain:

The sock rom, ViperX 2.1.0, tripndroid cyanogene CM10.

the last rom was tripndroid i like it a lot but i hate the temperature of the phone more than normal, so i switched back to my previous rom(viperX).

Before installing the rom (tripndroid) the clockomod back ups were working i have tried them, but after that it stopped working even the stock rom.

I stuck in the rebooting screen or in the starting menu with capacitor buttons on and everything frozen.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
