[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastyZ71:
Please bear with me, I'll readily admit that I'm a newb when it comes to flashing ROMs, etc. I rooted my TB with the all-in-one tool and loaded the ICS BAMF Leak. I presume this was essentially an RUU, since I didn't flash any separate radios or anything.

I'm looking for a different ICS ROM to flash, mostly due to the poor memory management on this build.

My question is this, and mainly for clarification- If I wipe/format everything except the SD card, I will have to FIRST flash the ROM, then flash the radio to get data working?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
It was only a ROM, and radios don't come with roms but the ones you had when you rooted work with the leak.

To flash a new rom just do the same thing you did for the leak, i have never flashed a radio (except for testing the tool) in a year of having this phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastyZ71:
Well, that's interesting. I installed the NuSense rom based off the ICS leak, and had to install the leaked radios to get data back.

either way, i got the rom flashed and the radio flashed and working.

Thanks for the rooting tool, BTW :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
That is because santod modified the ril to work better with the leak radios. I get data just fine with the .19 radios.

Hi there,

i got a 6800 with stock (but rooted) ICS running and wanted to try the ZETA 4.0 Rom from the development section - what seems to be a minor task turned into disaster ;-/

I followed the instructions from the message in the development forum:

quote:

Do a Nandroid backup!

Copy the Zeta to your SD

(optional) Wipe Data/factory reset

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Install zip from sd

Reboot

I used CWM to backup all information, (which took like 30 mins and ended in an error message)

and when i clicked on "wipe data/factory reset" in recovery things went seriously wrong ...

it seemed to take a very long time (15`+mins) and then rebooted

I am now stuck at the white/blue glowing samsung logo

I can get back into recovery, but when i try to install the "Zeta Rom V4.0.zip" file from the SD card, i just get a

E: signature verification failed in red lettering ... before that, the package is found/opened/verified

also, the cwm.zip is opening, but acting very weired (cant select with the volume keys

The weired thing to me is that I didnt even install the Zeta package when things got ugly!!! - I just did a data wipe

could some good soul pls help me out ...

thx in advance for your time

Hi dude,

Did you try the download mode? (Powerbutton + vol down.) If this still works, your good.

Just get the .Pit file for your device from www.sammobile.com

Now flash this .Pit file with your pc using Odin. If you don't know how to use Odin, please find the thread for this and.read it to the letter! Whatever you do, DON'T set the function for REPARTITION.. that would be THE END dude. Beware!

I had fckd up my tab too, but the Odin solution works fine. After this you can install a new recovery even with Odin and your good M8

After that your good to go and please, of you want to go custom...try the Paranoid Android or Singha light rom . Both are top working, and with the pimp my rom addon (you will find it :good: ), you won't even think about another flash again.

Just don't panic..Good luck!

Regards,

Axelman

Hi there, and thx for responding ...

I can get into download mode (pwr / vol-)

a few extr problems ... I lost the cable to hook up the 7.7 to a computer (3 children household, dont ask ;) ) ... the only form to get files to the tab is pulling the SD card and manually copy files on it and put it back ...

I located 6800.pit files ... so would I just copy those 6800.pit files to the SD and install them in download mode? - could somebody confirm this?

again, thx for answering

Al
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al128:
sorry, also - could you point me to the 6800.pit file on sammobile ? .... I seem to be unable to locate it ...

thx!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al128:
nevermind ... it seems I found it here on xda ...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27636101&postcount=4

(could you confirm that this is the correct one ¿ ... can this be flashed directy via recovery¿

I also leant that I seemed to have superbricked my 6800 by using the "wipe data/factory reset" option in recovery, which supposedly is a bug in the firmware ...

absolutely not amused !

thx for helping
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axelman8:
Hi,

Don't use the recovery anymore... as you said, it gave an error anyway. Get a cable and do it the only right way by using Odin.

The super brick means that also the download mode is corrupted...that's the end of the tab for sure, but you still can use the download mode so you are good.

It's your call, but in my opinion your better off with the official download mode (lucky you to still have it) then using a corrupted recovery.

For your info... I would use the Gtp6800 LQ2 .PIT file. If your tab is a 6800 offcorse .

Goodluck m8

Axelman
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al128:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axelman8:
He dude,

Use a download from sammobile. Get an account and download the official firmware there. It is the safest way!

I dont know were you are from, but the first ICS build was the open Austria.. P6800XXLQ1

You could use that version, or get the newer version p6800XXLQ2. But you can get any version you like.. :p

GoodLuck

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al128:
I managed to get all things running as per your advice:

I can connect and flash both the stock austrian rom and stock austrian .pit file (I even get a green "pass" in odin!) ... but I am still in a boot trap. I am pretty sure I have those corrupted blocks in the var. partitions ...

I found the following description here on xda ... but it says to TICK the "repartition" ... so I am kind of confused ...

(snip)

What Do You Need To Fix This

1. Odin and Pit get it Here ---> Odin3 v1.85.rar Pit and CWM Include in Odin.

2. Use this Stock Rom P6800XXLQ1_P6800OXALQ1_ATO. This is Open Austria Stock Rom Get it here ==>> Download and Unzip.

3. USB Connector.

3. All You Have and you a ready to Go.

4. Open Odin

5. Tab to Download Mode (( Start + Down Vol ))

6. Connect USB

7. Make Sure the port com detected.

8. Put the Pit file to PIT. Make Sure the PIT is GT-P6800 PIT for P6800XXLQ1_P6800OXALQ1_ATO.pit

9. On Files PDA Make Sure it's XXLQ1_OXALQ1_ATO.md5

10. Make Sure Tick Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time

11. If you are Ready. Hit the START.

12. If you are successful Com Port box on the Blue and Green in color after the reset and show a pass.

(/snip)

I am confused ... should i tick it or untick it? ... it seems to automatically tick itself on whenever you add a .pit file - so far i UNticked the repartition option

I guess I need to go the whole "adb" route, but it seems to be way over my head ... I cant even get adb to run (a dos window opens and closes immediately) ... pretty frustrating ... there are 70 pages or so to read ... and while I do understand the whole concept, I cannot do it (operationally) ...

well, insult coming to injury ... I am also looking for a job and need my cel desperately :(

again, thx to all the folks looking into the matter and lending a hand!

cheers, Al

Go back to stock

Dude dd you get through? If not just go to here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P6800&pcode=0&os=1&type=3#firmware

and download the latest file.

1. It will download as a zip file so make a new folder on your pc and extract it there.

2. Start odin and dont tick anything! leave everything as is. then select pda and choose the extracted file and press start.

3. after you do that just look fror rooting instructions.

BEWARE! DONT WIPE WITH OFFICIAL RECOVERY BECAUSE YOU'LL LOSE EVERYTHING!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al128:

UPDATE!!!!

UPDATE!!!! - finally some light at the end of the tunnel ...

I seem to have managed to push HC 3.2 (Hong Kong version, which is where my tab came from) somewhat successfull on to the tablet... but I still get the following error messages

after a reboot, I get to the following screen:

COULD ANYBODY PLS TRANSLATE THIS !!!!!!!... and better yet, suggest what to enter ;) ... I am stuck right there, no idea how to move on (enter doesnt do the trick, nor my google account name ...)

the good news is, other than that the tab behaves pretty normal (volume rockers really increase/decrease volume, keyboard works normal, i can get into a (chinese) shut down menu and it shuts down pretty normally (as opposed to a hard reboot)

would a hongkong 3.2 pit file help with mounting the e: drive?

any thoughts

Just to close this chapter ... and for reference to other future folks ...

I managed to get my tab working again, but it was a pita to get there ...:laugh: ... good thing - i learnt a lot in the process ;)

finally i ran a check on the data partition (tool from the superbrick thread) ... and whilst all sectors reported "OK", there was a section where the check took some 10 times longer than normal.

I then used the .pit files provided from the superbrick thread, flashed those with odin, with the option "enable repartition", b/c thats what the .pit files does ... I was quite nervous doing so, though ... I was on the generous side with the "non usable" sectors on the data partition ... so my 7.7 now only has about 8gig of internal SD - I lost about half of it :crying:

then cleared the cache/data/davlic in cmw 6.x ... and flashed the original 3.2 rom over, which booted up - then flashed the shangha ( or so ?) Rom from the developer section a slim version of ICS 4.0.4.... and voilá ... the tab runs like a champ!

If someone could please post the most up to date and full tutorial,I would greatly appreciate that.Thanks.

Quoting http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25828-in...-and-band-unlock-droid-2-global-with-629-rom/

This bricks the phone.

Some other steps also brick it.
[Droid 2 Global General] jabberwockish:
It just means that some of the steps in the band-unlocking procedure will temporarily brick the phone. If you follow all the steps, in the order listed, you should end up with a rooted, band-unlocked, fully functional phone.

Note: If I were you, I'd apply the SIM unlock code first and make sure it works (can read your AT&T SIM, even though it won't connect to the network) before I put in the time and effort to modify the radio baseband.
[Droid 2 Global General] PassingThruLife:

Try switching the device to GSM mode.

If the Network Unlock PIN dialog doesn't show up, your device might be already unlocked.
[Microsoft Surface] Deleted member 2842059:
Anyone hear about a release date when they picked up their Surface RT? I understand why they staggered the release but it doesn't make the wait any easier.
[Microsoft Surface] dnlsmy:
Picked up a Surface RT for my brother today, when I asked about the Pro, they told me that they had been told the Pro will launch 90 days after (so 88 days left now). This lines up with "early 2013", though the rep said she was expecting it to be around Christmas originally. I think the pricing will be like this (my own speculation after the RT pricing)

Surface RT (w/o TouchCover) 32GB - $499

Surface RT (w/ TouchCover) 32GB - $599

Surface RT (w/TouchCover) 64GB - $699

Surface Pro (w/ TouchCover + Pen) 64GB $799-$899

Surface Pro (w/ TouchCover + Pen) 128GB $899-$999
[Microsoft Surface] DubiousPig:
As much as I'd love your estimations to be true, I can't see the Pro selling for only $100 more than the 64GB RT, especially given the fact that the type cover alone costs more than $100.
[Microsoft Surface] Marvin_S:
I would expect more in the rage of 1000$ for the 64 and 1100$ for the 128. I am happy to be proven wrong tough ;)

Although I'm European so we will likely get shafted by paying 1,5 times the price :D probably 1200 euro for the 128 gb pro :D

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
Above, somebody linked to a discussion where I expressed my opinion of the current JB builds (on the Dinc). My last thought is really the most important. Nobody else can tell you if you are going to be happy with JB on the Dinc. And you won't know yourself until you get the rom installed, you get your preferred apps installed, and experience it.

Some people don't mind the reboots (or FCs) and they report JB is stable. Some cannot stand them and say JB is not ready yet.

Some people say bah, camcorder... never use it. Some people say it is an essential function.

Some people never watch videos. For some people video is important.

One person's "slow and laggy"... is another person's "smooth and responsive".

For some the new notifications and "google now" are most important...

bla bla bla...... yadda yadda yadda

And then there is another big question beyond the /system functions. There is app compatibility. Everyone uses different apps. Which ones are essential to any individual? Are they working? Are they working well?

...digression below...

I am patient for JB anyway... I know that I will get JB (and everything working) in January. Nexus 4 baby! Updates... custom roms... everything is going to work so much better in my future than it ever has on the Dinc!

I love the devs and thank them for their work and for what they have done for the Dinc. They have made my time with the Dinc so much better. But since gingerbread, all the roms have been all been crippled (despite the devs hard work) to some degree. No more of that situation for me... no thanks...

Goodbye and F*** OFF, Verizon. I will take google up on a better value in hardware than Verizon has ever offered! I will enjoy massive savings for my monthly service. I will enjoy the freedom and choices along with better quality custom and modified software. I'm just jealous my wife is going to get the nexus 4 before me.
