[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
If you're really selling the phone let me know how much I might be able to use it as a dev phone :P

----------------------------------------------

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Dude, leaving the phone seems a bit extreme. If you just fubar'd one partition, it'll be fairly easy to fix it. Partition 13 is the misc firmware partition. If it was the EFS partition, I'd worry, but it isn't. It's got fairly static stuff in it. I'm not volunteering (because I have like 0 time right now), but I'm sure someone here will be able to help you:

figure out if you actually screwed the partition

get a new copy of the partition installed if there really is a problem

I'm sure you could probably also solve this problem by flashing a fully stock firmware. Either way, going crazy over a matter of a few hours is no way to solve your problem over a perfectly good phone.

Instead of going crazy, ask the questions that will help you figure out what partition 13 should look like. If you have a phone to fall back to, well... fall back to it for the moment. Fix your phone, move forward.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Well, I already tried Odin to stock like 4 times,but the problem persists. Although, you are a GREAT motivation. Thanks, dude.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Okay, so I'm gonna try doing a FULL Odin to stock with ALL the files there. Only problem is that I don't know where to get the: CSC, BOOTLOADER, or PHONE files. I saw here that it worked. Can someone show me where to get them?

EDIT: I'm downloading one from SamMobile. Hope this works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Oh my F GOD. It worked.! I fixed it.! YAY.!!! Thank you SO much dr4stic.. Thanks a TON.!! saved me hundreds. ;)

If anyone somwhoe manages to mess up their partitions too. but still can get to download mode, All i did was download my firmware from sammobile.. (its the ICS one). Flash it along with the pit (don't know if it was necessary to include it but i did and ALSO ticked repartition). And I am now good.! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theprogram1:
I did this now I'm screwed......

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096

nothing no response hard brick......Anyone help?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Bro.. I TOLD you pay the $2, better than paying that *100+

I did NOT understand any of that before i did it, nor do i now..

But i was lucky enough to not screw up the CORE partition..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
if you can't get the phone back into download mode, you're pretty much screwed.

Do you guys know what these partitions mean?

mmcblk0p22: 00fffc00 00000200 "recovery"

mmcblk0p8: 01000000 00000200 "boot"

mmcblk0p24: 5ffffc00 00000200 "system"

mmcblk0p26: 13fffe00 00000200 "cache"

mmcblk0p25: 9ffffe00 00000200 "userdata"

I don't know what partition 6 or 13 are, but you guys need to stop shooting from the hip. The guides for other phones DO NOT NECESSARILY APPLY to this phone.

You will hose your device.

yeah, ikr? :p

thats sad though.. no ETA's.. watever then. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Yes, no ETA's. Me, zaclimon and Oisis are all balacing ery busy schedules to get this to you guys as fast as possible. Me and zac stay up until almost midnight many nights testing and developing, and Oisis has to be up a 2-3 in the morning JUST to be able to talk to us, not to mention having to balance a VERY busy school schedule, our individual social lives, etc.

So please stop asking us for ETA's, or if this will be fixed by X, or that by Y, because we're developing this for the benefit of the community. We're not getting paid, or gaining any tax breaks, we're just a couple of guys who have decided to unlock the complete potential of this device, and if I do say so myself, I think we're doing a pretty dang good job on it, all things considered.

My rant is done, but guys, please understand what we're going through to be able to get this to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
i understand. sorry about all my fuss that i created. :(

please forgive me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
No problem, it's not directly directed at you, it's just directed at the entire community. It's an unfortunate fact that most people these days forget how much time devs spend working on this stuff for them, which is understandable, since we don't share the development process with you guys. Just keep in mind that it's normally a lot more time-consuming to accomplish a task then we let on.

Rectum dictis! :good:

(Sounds dirty, right? It's actually Latin for, "Well said!")

Just thought I'd brighten the mood with some humor.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
well this time, i think asking ETA is less reproachable. The team or zaclimon individually already posted the new thread about the coming ROM.

It's like advertising Avengers 2 is coming out but not telling people when it will be available.

it's natural for people to question when is it actually going to come out.

I think it's different from the typical ETA inquiry that i usually encounter.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
No, sir, I do believe ANY ETA inquiry is against the forum rules.

XDA does not operate like the movie industry, nor like any commercial industry for that matter.

Outside of XDA, teasers and release announcements lead to inquiries, which may or may not be answered. Within XDA, teasers, promotions, and/or announcements are for the sole purpose of notification only. When the project is ready, it is ready. No questions asked.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
As I think more, I'm not sure if the question"(coming soon) in how long"? can be even considered as ETA inquiry. (connotatively)

There was no mention of WIP nor that the work is not complete yet.

In CM9's Camera's case, I'm also opposed to ETA inquiries.

People know that the work is in progress and the time required is indefinite.

But in this case, there was no hint that the work was unfinished nor about the uncertainty of completion.

zaclimon said that it's coming soon.

In Supermaster's thread about Camera WIP, none says "coming soon"

I think the term "coming soon" should be used more carefully because it means that the producer is somewhat ready and definite that the work is going to be finished and released on the specific time.

and i don't think that asking when the producer would wish to release is the "ETA inquiry" that people get attentive of.

I'm not trying to provoke any fight in this forum, I don't want to flame anyone and cause trouble.

I admire you guys' work because I'm a complete noob.

Of course i've never been developer and never felt how it would be to be asked of ETA.

But I just want people to ease up the tension in this forum.

Peace.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
My apologies if my words appeared as flaming. Never were my intentions to flame you, I only wanted to point out that XDA is a not-for-profit forum/project, and all of the work that the developers do here is on a goodwill basis.

Those who ask for ETA's do not realize how much work it takes for a GOODWILL developer to manage life, work/school, and development on their own dime and time.

It's like a homeless person coming into your house, just after you've worked a full day and managed family and other obligations. You've just started cooking dinner, but you're all ready stressed and tired from a full day when the homeless person asks, "Hey, bud! When's dinner going to be ready? I'm hungry! C'mon Hurry up!"

Just sayin'.

Did anyone try flashing this with Klin's R3 kernel. I know for Terrasilent (at least for me when I was using it) it would reset everything in about a week, and I found out that it was a glitch in Terrasilent. However, this overwrites the kernel anyway correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Actually I only have like 6 or 7 zip files, it just shows all the folders on my internal storage too.

Terrasilent gets replaced in the first flash and again at the end when you do the heimdall part.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
All righty. Yeah I would have most likely messed up my device if I tried to do it myself lol. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
This is a tad bit random but I somehow seemed to have messed up my power button. Even in stock rom, whenever I hold it down, I don't get the menu where it says "power off-airplane mode-etc" it just turns off. And when I lock, after I press it, the lock screen doesn't show up, it just opens back to where I turned off the screen. Anyone got a fix for that also? (sorry I'm being so needy lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
not random at all, thats what happens when your EFS is all jacked up, get your EFS backup and restore it as described in the Recovery thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
Ok. Well I managed to get cwm6 and flashed linaro, but once I have done everything and it opens up. But once it boots it says

"Encryption Unsuccessful

Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your tablet is no longer accessible. To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after the reset, you'll have an oppurtunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account."

Then it has a button that says "reset tablet" and I clicked it, but it just reboots and gives the same message. EDIT: I'm guessing this also has something to do with efs? I could be wrong. How would I go about restoring efs. Download the efs file from the recovery page, go into heimdall, select our pit, select efs then the file, check repartition? and start? And would I have to be at stock rom/kernel to do this?

EDIT 2: Or does the encryption error mean something isn't mounted?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
doubt it has anything to do with EFS as far as the encryption error goes, but anytime you check repartition in heimdall you MUST flash all the parts, if you repartition and flash just EFS you will wipe out everything else and won't boot.

for efs restoring, just add it to the list of things (PARAM, CACHE, DATA, FactoryRFS and the rest) you flash with heimdall when you revert to factory (use the efs backup you where supposed to make before starting this whole thing).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] oisis:
Fastest way is use dd command and flash only EFS, you should do it in that way.

I just wanted to say great job to the developers. I am too chicken to go through all the steps at this point since my son has been using my device for games. Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
If you are coming from the previous ics rom, you MUST go back to stock. My stock didn't even boot up and I did it.

1) flash stock and the stock kernel.

2) before it boots up, go into the stock recovery.

3) you will see a bunch of yellow lines and probably some red also.

4) weather or not you get any red lines does not matter unless the errors are about your efs. For me they were about a missing cache.

5) flash terra silent.

6) go back into recovery and now install the rom. The error should be gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indyssee:
So if the errors are about efs, does that mean its not fixable? (If I screwed up and didn't backup the efs)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:

Would I flash it with odin or heimdall? Because in heimdall it says "the efs something is usually a .rfs file
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Ya. Well first if all

1) where did you get your efs backup from

2) check and see if there is anything in it.

3) if there is try to flash it with Odin and see what happens.

If all else fails you may have to manually put it in

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] oisis:
Tar files id made by backup script I took from i9000. It is archive so you will not be able to flash it by Odin or Heimdall. You have to extract it to /efs directory and that is all. First check that EFS partition is mounted and then extract files from EFS.tar archive into the /efs directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indyssee:
Ok... I got back to stock. I did have a bad download of the stock ROM (or old one). I also had a copy of the efs on the sdcard but not on PC. I'm sure I did everything right but I'm going to watch the video to make sure. Thanks for everyone's help.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
So I should put the files inside the tar on my device, then use root explorer to put them into efs folder? And how would I check if efs in mounted? (Sorry I'm new to this stuff)

I got it up and running and seems to be good so far (thanks Team Supernova!). Have a question about the recover now... can we use it like normal? To make backups and such? It just can't boot into system properly so we have to battery pull and then it will boot like normal? Sorry for the stupid questions, I just don't want to screw anything up that its running now. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
If you ever go into recovery once you've finished installing, you will have to repeat the steps from the latter half of the video starting with reflashing terrasilent, reboot download and heimdall flash the kernel boot.img, it is the ONLY way out of recovery!!!! going into recovery will result in a recovery bootloop plain and simple.

Hey guys, I found an alternative to using soft keys for the home button issue (if you don't like all that wasted space). I found this button remapper app that works on the 4.0. What I did was remapped the vol-down button to home, and then just adjust the volume with the slider that pops up when I press vol-up. Still hoping the team can figure out what is wrong with the home button, but this works great until they do! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464

UPDATE: I can no longer recommend this app, as I am fairly certain it was responsible for getting me into a bootloop.

Also, I think I have found a bug, but I would appreciate it if someone could confirm it; when on GB, I would get 2 bars of WiFi signal strength consistently In my room. Now I get consistently 1 bar, and sometimes even 0 bars. Maybe this is just because ics measures strength differently then gb?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
we are both in the same boat. and noew i feel like such an idiot. stock won't boot up and i get efs errors in the stock recovery also
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Many moons ago, when I was new to this whole thing I lost my EFS and honestly as far as these builds are concerned its not super vital, of course restore it if you have a backup as MOST GB ROMS need it to have proper power menus and lock screens, but if your going straight to these ICS builds there should be a file in the recovery thread somewhere called blank_efs.img you when doing your heimdall restore (with repartition checked and all other files loaded) add that blank_efs.img as EFS and that should clear that error in stock recovery and allow you to boot, THIS IS A "LAST DITCH" WORKAROUND if you plan to run GB you will still need to solve your overall empty EFS issue with a PROPER restoring.

But does anyone know what that data encryption error was that I posted about yesterday? It keeps happening when I flash linaro. I guess I should try with the non linaro build, but otherwise, does anyone know why it happens or have a fix?

I also lost my efs. It is not a problem. I modify an efs backup of someone else and it works.

the only efs i have is the one from the build 2.5 of ics. i am going to try to go backk to that and see where that leads me but i dought it will do anything.

also do you have a certian way i can put my efs back even if nothing else will boot?

Hey guys, I found one more minor bug before I accidentally trashed my system partition and had to return to stock. The bug is media playback control buttons on earphones no longer work. This is a very minor bug, but if you're going for perfection, you might want to look at it :P.

On the side note, why are people doing this without making absolutely sure they have at least two separate backups of the efs!? It says very plainly in the OP to make a backup, and if you can't follow instructions, frankly this rom is not for you. I takes a few minutes to do a backup, and saves you hours of headache later down the road. I think I am going to add a line about efs backups to my signature! Please forgive me if I am misunderstanding and you really did make backups of your efs, but they don't work for some reason.

For those if you who install and get the encryption error, follow these steps and it will work.

1) hit reset tablet on the error page.

2) go into recovery

3) wipe data/factory reset

4) reboot system now.

5) as soon as the screen shuts off, go into download.

6) flash terra silent kernel.

7) let it boot into recovery and ignore all the errors.

8) go to advanced and reboot download.

9) flash the boot.img again.

10) should be all set as long as you don't go into recovery

Hope I helped
