[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rayjr13:
I had the white dot problem a couple times on HC but never on LP10 ICS yet. I have never used facebook on my i815.

Sidebar questions can anyone think of a reason why on LP10 I cannot download ICS browser+ or chrome from the play store? Not sure why I can't then. I get the device is not compatible. I wonder if something edited my build.prop. My device still shows as SCH-i815 in the play store desktop website version. The only thing I can think of is I restored backups using TiBu and it asked did I want to restore my Android ID from the backups.

update: weirdly enough on the play store desktop version it shows that the apps are compatible with my i815. Maybe I need to clear the data on the play store I am using that updated/leaked play store v3.9.16

Update: force stop,clear data, immediate reboot for the following and was good to go: google framework, play store services, play store.

Now it's seeing them as compatible.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rhester72:
Well, one of three things seems to have solved my instability problems on my 4.0.4 i815:

- Reloading ICS with the "wipe" version

- Reflashing the modem with Odin in Phone mode

- Discontinuing use of Tegrak Overclock

My money's on the last one, though oddly, the failures were EXTREMELY intermittant and nonexistent on HC (yes, it's a different kernel, but the module loads, so...)

*shrugs* Seems OK now.

I'm a big proponent of the "wipe" version of Electron's ROM.

For whatever reason, despite everything I tried, I could not get acceptable battery life after the 4.0.4 upgrade. First, it was the known ICS WiFi issue, then it was something else. I even tried Pimp My Rom and at first thought it had worked but it quickly became evident that it didn't.

Yesterday, I flashed the wipe version and -- like Rodney -- reflashed the modem.bin using Odin (not clear if that was necessary but figured it wouldn't hurt). I charged to 100%, and it's now been 15 hours and I'm only at 78%. 7 hours of that time I was asleep, the rest is with moderate use (including streaming radio on my drive to work this morning).

This is insane -- at least double the battery life I was getting with Honeycomb.

ONLY downside is I did lose the contents of my internal SD. Including all pictures, etc. Thank goodness for the auto-sync to Picasa/Google+. Otherwise, Titanium restored all my backed up data fine and it was very nice to clean things up a bit.

Nice job, Electron!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rhester72:
I am very, very confused.

Using Odin in PDA mode, whether I flash the LP10 or FD01 recovery, it still identifies itself as 3e on the recovery screen, even though the binaries in the tar files are quite different.

Am I missing something obvious? Are they both called 3e? I ask specifically because I've seen a lot of people refer to the one from FD01, which you previously needed to return to for flashing the modem, being called '3e recovery'.

Rodney
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
Yes as far as I know the stock recovery is called "3e". FD01 and LP10 are the last 4 digits of the android version number...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rhester72:
OK. Just want to make sure I'm well-prepared for any future OTA update (my kingdom for a camera driver fix!). Thanks!

P.S.: Believe it or not, there seems to be a way to tell them apart. The blue color on the FD01 recovery appears to be significantly darker than the blue on the LP10 recovery. I actually compared side-by-side photos to be sure I wasn't crazy about them being identical in appearance. Maybe that shows I am. *laughs*

I made it!

I have tried 4 times. No luck with "nowipe" and "wipe" and then the 2nd time with the original clone was a success!

;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stupidpopmediareference:
Tried no-wipe first with no luck. Ran the wipe version and it worked. Huzzah! Much thanks, electron73! I've only been running this since last night but it is an amazingly obvious improvement over Honeycomb.

Anyone have trouble with flash in the stock browser app or browser +

Update: think I had the Android 3 version.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Phytrax:
I tried flashing the Cloned ROM and the nowipe ROM. Either way I get a message

ENCRYPTION FAILED

Unable to complete encryption due to interruption.

It suggests doing a factory reset, which I did, and the message comes right back after the LTE boot screen. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] chefdave12118:
Really getting horrible battery life some days.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Phytrax:
I flashed the Honeycomb recovery image with Odin then got the same message. Told it to reset once again but this time it worked. Booted into ICS with everything working fine so far. If someone can explain any of this to me it would be great.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] prscott1:
I got the same error - did the reset and now tablet is trying to activate.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rayjr13:
I've gotten crap life on some days a drain by Phone app though, not screen.not sure what has been causing it to tax the battery though.

Additionally, my device sucks a reacquiring Wifi signal on LP10. I can connect just fine but if I move out of range for instance it does not rescan and connect to other known networks in range. If new wifi comes in range it doesn't detect it even though it says its scanning. Toggle wifi off/on and connect immediately to known networks in range. Annoying especially given that their isn't an attractive wifi toggle widget lol. to the play store I guess.

My battery issues resolved when I flashed the "wipe" version of the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mtres:
Typical battery drain?

I've done the the "no wipe" method of upgrade. With wifi enabled and 4g on but the pad sitting idle I've had it discharge about 18% in 8 hours. (I've set the wifi to on at all times). Would this be typical or are you getting much better. I'll do the full wipe version if I need to...thanks for any information.

Matt
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
With the tab sitting idle (screen off) on my desk with WiFi permanently on I lose about 10% per 24h.

With airplane mode on (try that!) I lose about 2-3% per 24h
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mtres:
Thanks electron. I think maybe I'll do the wipe method since this thing is dying too quickly. Any tricks to do that other than following your directions from the beginning? I'm rather a novice at flashing, etc. and I don't want some of the hassles others have experienced. Thanks again for all you've done for my pad so far. Matt
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
I'd just flash CWM (if you don't have it already) and then use that to flash the wipe version. Remember though, the wipe version really wipes everything! Even your "internal sd-card" will be reformatted! So make sure you have no important data on there.

After the flash, check if you have the correct baseband and LTE modems installed. Both should read LP10. Good Luck and hope it helps.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:
Make sure your Titanium backups are on the external SD, as well as anything you want to keep like your pics and downloads and stuff.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] chefdave12118:
Just started. I've got a lot going on app and widget wise lately so that may be a culprit there. But I used to be able to keep my charger at home when I went to work (12-14 hours a day).... now it has to stay plugged in most of the day. I have it connected to WiFi all day also.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] prscott1:
FWIW, for any of you who do not want to flash CWM:

I flashed the wipe version using the default recovery, and it worked great. I did get the 'encryption failed' error on first boot, but clicked reset as prompted on screen and all was well. Love the ROM! Thanks so much.

Edit: I also flashed the modem.zip from the default recovery and it, too, worked great!

I noticed the tun module isn't installed and wondering if anyone has a working tun object (tun.ko) for this kernel that I can install?

TIA

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:
You might also try charging to 100%, wiping battery stats, and then letting it run down to 0% and shut down. Then charge again to 100%. I read that it's advisable to do this when you flash a new ROM. Not sure if that's a myth, but I'm thinking it can't hurt.

Wifi disabled

Well I flashed the wipe version and everything seemed to be working until I checked Wifi. I hadn't reflashed the modem since they both read LP10 but since Wifi wouldn't enable I went ahead and flashed the modem again. Nothing. When I go to settings the blue slider button for Wifi is greyed out...can't slide it or turn it on. Any ideas...??? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mtres:
more info

I've relashed both wipe and nowipe versions. After I did the wipe again I got wifi until I rebooted then the button greyed out and I couldn't get it back on since. I've refashed both versions and the modem zip as well. I've done all I can...I'm very frustrated right now. Without Wifi this is a crap device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mtres:
update 2

Ok...I've even flashed the cloned ROM now...that DID require me to flash the modem again. I've had wifi working briefly but it worked along side 4g (both in the right hand corner)...then it would stop working. Turning off mobile data would occasionally give me a "blue" wifi button to slide but still nothing would happen...after awhile nothing got wifi even responding. I'm assuming that there's a conflict between the LTE and the wifi that happened when I flashed the wipe over the nowipe ROM. I'm thinking I need to completely wipe the tablet (maybe CWM) and start over somehow. Please give me suggestions...Matt

Modem for 3.2 ?

Is the modem for Honeycomb 3.2 available ?

I flashed to ICS and didnt care for it and went back to Honeycomb,

However I cant get 3g - I can however get 4g.

I think flashing the modem for 3.2 will fix it.

Thanks

Does anyone know if this hack should work for LP10? I don't see the system files referenced in our ROM. Particularly I'm looking for the ability to turn the camera shutter sound off. Super annoying. Don't see a way to do it and I'm certain we didn't have this problem in FD01.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] TonyBigs:
I doubt it as the 7.7 and the SGSIII utilize different sound chips.

Looks like it easier like some other Samsungs...just needed to rename to Shutter_01.ogg.bak

Couple other ogg files that easily be replaced or removed. Obviously need root.

Thanks for all the i815 love. I really appreciate having everything I needed to get my new GT 7.7 on to ICS all in one place. And your directions were great - so many threads have lousy directions.

Once again, thanks for all your hard work on this!

Trouble flashing ROM

I have flashed 6.0.1.1-i815 and I was able to boot into CWM but when it goes to install the ROM it only moves about an 1/8 of the way across and hangs with no errors. What could I have done wrong?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] MileH:
Any posibility to move this up to Jelly Bean?!?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] TonyBigs:
Only Samsung and/or Verizon know the answer. They really haven't fully unleashed ICS for the i815 -- the ICS update didn't really didn't happen for most users. I suppose Verizon could have pulled the ICS and plan to issue JB instead.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
Are you serious that they STILL haven't gotten their act together and "fixed" that OTA mess from October? Are there still people stranded with Honeycomb unable to get an official update and forced to use our inofficial way now that it is DECEMBER ???
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] TonyBigs:
I think that is the case.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sliblue:
Im still at Honeycomb. An update tried to come down on December 13th again but reboots and shows a yellow exclamation and then boots back into honeycomb. This is absurd. Same thing as October.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] nocaldawg:
I had a detailed conversation with a Verizon supervisor today. Was contacted after leaving a survey. Apparently Verizon is being inundated with calls on this issue and they are aware. The small update is trying to take us from FD01 to FH01 and then we can go to ICS. The supervisor said they are working on a solution. Good call overall without all of the run around. Two choices for all of us on Honeycomb. Wait it out or go with Electrons solution.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] WangChung81:
I just installed ICS fine. Let it sit for a bit, then logged in and let it finish updating.

Went back and tried to install the modem update, and now it's just sitting. Has been for about 15 minutes. On the tablet itself it appears the progress bar is complete, but Odin is still on the "Now Writing.. Please wait about 2 minutes" line. I put the modem.bin under the PHONE area as instructed as well.

Just wondering if someone can give a quick fix before I wait too much longer or just try to restart the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rspong:
Google movies app will not play downloaded movies. Loads and i get spinning wait, then says" cannot play movie, touch to retry" Will play streaming movies OK.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] WangChung81:
Fixed the issue! I unplugged it and it failed, tried to install the firmware again per the instructions and got as far as Odin saying "RQT_CLOSE" and wouldn't get any further than that.

Googled the step/error and found out other people installing ICS on other devices were having the same problem. I used a tool that was apparently meant for the SPH-D710 to fix the install of a .pit file. Was foolish on my part but really had nothing to lose since it was stuck anyway. The issue comes where there's some sort of corruption generated, and a proprietary command from Odin to wipe the cache and data partitions is necessary. Luckily this tool was able to execute those commands but of course failed on the install of the .pit file. Went back to regular Odin and installed the modem update and it completed without further incident.

Maybe an intermediate step is needed between the install of ICS and install of the modem update to run a wipe of cache/data in recovery?

Just a comment, I just ordered a recert 7.7 from Verizon directly and it came with 4.0.4 preloaded. Seems you should be able to just visit a Verizon location and have them wipe and flash.

Has anyone been able to get the LP11 update from Verizon?

I am using Electron's ICS wipe version with stock recovery 3e. Since I could not update with success, I simply extracted the modem.bin and updated the modem to LP11. So now it is LP11/LP10 mix in the system.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
How did you get that update? I'm full stock Lp10 and software update says nothing available :(

Could you make the full archive available somewhere for us? Maybe I can turn it into a full from again

Has anyone been experiencing battery drain in sleep mode lately? It has gone up for me dramatically, from about 20% overnight (which isn't great) to 50% overnight. Brutal. I suppose its a rogue app and I am working on it, but wasn't sure if anyone had the same and could help me circumvent the discovery process. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Royaltiger:
Electron,

It just came OTA. I will be delighted to send it to you. Please advise.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
It should be in the /cache directory (I believe) probably just like the previous OTA files. How did you extract the modem.bin file, I mean where did you get that from? If you have Dropbox or similar you could post the link either here or via pm.

My tab still says LP10 is current. Boo Verizon!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Royaltiger:
I sent you the link (via PM) to the file via Dropbox. It will be great to have the community benefit from this update and your expertise.

The file was in the cache folder and it arrived about six hours (or so) ago from Verizon OTA.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:

I got this update OTA yesterday:

9f8cf4cd021f.update_SCH-I815_LP10c_To_LP11_RC4.zip 12,463KB

Since I have already updated from Honeycomb the manual way - according the instructions in the first post of this thread - can I safely install this update? Or will it brick me?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
Try it. There's no way to get bricked with an official OTA.

Most likely it will just fail if they botched it again like last time :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:
I'm now not getting the update notice (I'm sure it will come back when it wants to). Can you post the modem.bin file?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Tom2112:
I thought any official release would mess up my boot loader / recovery image. I have CWM installed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] electron73:
Oh ok you would probably lose cwm but it would be more advisable to put stock recovery on first. CWM is unable to flash the modem and will bail with an error.

Does anyone know if the new update fixes the Exynos4 security hole? Also interested to see what else this update brings
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Royaltiger:
At your request, below is the link to the modem only file (LP11). I simply followed the excellent guidance of Electron (in the beginning of this thread) and used Odin to update my tab's modem.

I personally believe that it will be much more meaningful to have the entire tab on LP11 rather than just the modem. I am sure Electron will help us all out. :cyclops:

Now to flash back to LP10 backup until the brains figure out a way to root it. And rumor has it that with this LP11 update, JB is soon to follow. Which probably means around Christmas of 2013. Lmao!

Did you try ota root keeper or anything when you upgraded?

No, I didnt. I should have, though. Actually what I did was I just kept the OTA and just rerooted by flashing TWRP and flashing the zip. So, I am.able to keep root.

Is the LP11 update available for all Verizon users?

My tablet can't find any software update via WiFi (I don't have an active 4G plan). I am running the LP10 version.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] firefighterguy:
It should be.perhaps they sre rolling out in stages?

I don't have 4G on my tab, either. Just on my G-Nex. Do you normally run in Airplane mode with WiFi active? Reason I ask is I normally run in Airplane mode but for whatever reason, I took it out of Airplane mode just for a moment because Nook wasn't syncing properly and I suspected the culprit was Airplane mode. The moment I took it out, I got the toast message.
