To get into recovery, I boot up the device with Vol + / - pressed. An dthen choose recovery and press vol +. The tab reboots and after about 2 minutes, I am in the middle of nowhere....reboot and the OS comes..

I have flashed SBF, that did not help either...

First I flashed the original:

1.6.0M-268.4-FLEMEM_UCATBLT1UMRTCOREEU_fastboot.xml.zip

then this one:

1.6.0M-281.8-FLEMEM_UCATBLT1UMRTCOREEU_fastboot.xml

I didn't try any hacks...

Now trying adb...

Update: That didn't work either. Same... 10 seconds of red M logo, 10 seconds black screen, 4 minutes android with exclamation mark and in the end restart into OS....

Thanks for the reply.

Any custom recovery solution that will help me flash OTA ZIP?

Or How can I restore the original recovery. I am stuck guys.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambergio:
I too was in your situation ... your device is the Xyboard mz609 to enter into recovery simultaneously press vol. on vol. down and power on, you will see a screen where you will have several choices ... with vol. down you move. with vol. on choose. if you see a triangle simultaneously press vol. up and vol. down and will go into recovery. with the device turned on you can use quick boot (from the market) to enter recovery and bootloader. when you enter bootloader you read unlocked? if it is unlocked you can have a custom recovery like me. thanks to runandhide05.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_recep:
Holy! I am in recovery! Thanks man. Really appreciated!

I tried to install OTA ZIP via recovery but I got build.prop error. How to fix it?

It is something like that: (Modified some parts)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambergio:
okay, let's see how I can help. I do not know English and use the google translator. I installed honeycomb for mz608 but I did not upgrade to ics. I then installed the fastboot files for honeycomb mz609 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756100 and got the ics ota update. I also think that you can install ics for mz608 but only with fastboot files. sorry for my english.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_recep:
OK. I am now downloading the honeycomb MZ609 fastboot.

Update: Flashed. The tab went into bootloop. Turned it off and went into recovery. Done wipe. Tried to flash OTA ZIP but gave signature verification error.

Update 2: Successfull reboot this time after wipe. I have noticed that baseband version says Unknown. Should I do something for that? I don't have a SIM to try.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambergio:
I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that you had to wipe. I also unknown baseband version and I imei-meid. I do not have microsim to try, but if you flash honeycomb mz608 imei again. I do not know why, but I prefer to have ics yet. when I find the files fastboot ics mz608 then I reflash.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_recep:
I have found the version in build.prop:

1.6.0_281.4-MZ608

Flashed it with RSD. Now trying OTA again. Baseband is back BTW. Where is the IMEI writing?

Update: No luck with updating, again. Damn. Going to try recovery...

Update 2: Tried OTA Update. Got error:

assert failed: motorola.motoflash("/tmp/bp.img")
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_recep:
I think I should also wait for the offical fastboot files.

BTW, my friend have the exact tab with same specs that was successfully updated via OTA. Can I backup the ICS inside it and then install that backup to my tab via custom recovery?

Also another question: Can I flash MZ609 verizon fastboot? I will replace the radio IMG from Honeycomb fastboot in order to prevent baseband brick.

To sum up:

We have two tabs in hand. One was updated to ICS via OTA and works fine as below. But the other is resisting!

Can't update via OTA.

Can't update via Recovery.

And th worst, there is no Fastboot for MZ608 :)

Help me out guys, please :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_recep:
Looks like the baseband is the same with MZ616. Can I flash MZ616 ICS fastboot?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaithad:
Yes, you can flash the mz616 fastboot files, should work,

If it fails, you can always reflash honeycomb fastboot ones, but i think it will work.

Make sure you erase your user data at the end of process fastboot erase userdata

Flashed MZ616 via fastboot, totally bricked :) No charge, no screen, no bootloader... Nothing :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basuony101:
hi every body i'm new member and it's first time to make update to my galaxy note GT-n7000

i c in topic steps to make that update but i don't understand what i need to do for this step

Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK

if any one can tell me more about that what is this and how can i do this?? thank u
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Which rom are you trying to flash? What that means is not to flash from a stock ics kernel as it will result in a superbrick. You need to first flash a safe kernel such as phillz or hydracore, unless you're on gb in which case you're safe to flash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkraven_al:
remeber to flash from any ICS rom it is always advice to flash using a safe kernel to prevent brick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Can't flash from stock anyway. Zip wont pass signature verification. I think that warning is aimed at people using cf-root or old franco/speedmod kernels before CAP-ERASE was disabled.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr. xp55:
that warning is for anyone thats on stock ICS and wants to flash a custom rom, whether CM or TW based. And yes also those old kernels. If you want CM9, download the CM9 kernel from here and, put it in your sd card, and flash from recovery. Reboot BACK into recovery, don't reboot the phone. Make sure you download the CM9 rom and gapps, and put it your sd card before. Then wipe data, and flash CM9 once back into recovery. The same way if you want CM10. You can also use the Universal Hydracore kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basuony101:
how can i know my ROM???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr. xp55:
Settings - About phone. Are you on stock? Non-rooted? If stock and non rooted, then first flash Philz ICS kernel based on your current firmware. It will give you root, then wipe cache/dalvik after. Then reboot your phone, let it settle for a few minutes, then go back to recovery and flash CM9/CM10/Hydracore kernel, reboot back into recovery, then flash whatever rom you want, with the neccessary wipes. Its safe to flash from the philz kernel as well, but its hex patched, still could be unsafe to wipe from..

Also, if you want CM10/Jellybean, then you must either use the CM10 or hydracore kernel, don't flash cm10 from the philz kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Yes Entropy512 has expressed his doubts about the safety of so called "hex hacked" kernels (ie: offending brickbug byte changed fro a one to a zero), but he also says the only way to test for safety is to wipe and hope the phone doesn't freeze. Well I have done heaps of wipes on Philz kernels and no problems, but that could just be luck right? So for further confirmation of safety, I flashed CWM.zip ( the lethal one that Entropy has banned and has bricked heaps of phones) on a Philz kernel. From there I did Factory Resets, wipes, formatting of partitions, you name it and all operations passed in a breeze. If Brickbug wasn't disabled, I would have bricked on the first Factory reset. Philz kernels are definitely safe:good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howard bamber:
I read that and was very worried. As it is Entropy who wrote it . He is very well respected. Like he says just because you got away with it does not mean the next guy will.

I've read of phones bricked on hex hacked kernels. Can't see how if the 0 is changed but it does happen. The guy should read Entropy's post.

Sent from the man in Your attic.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
The whole point about Brickbug is that it has to meet certain criteria to activate, you wouldn't experience a brick off one flash necessarily, it could be the nth time you wiped that you meet those criteria there's just no way to know.

Saying that, I've not read of any bricks from phillz so believe it to be safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
The case of the guy bricking on Philz was due to transferring videos, nothing to do with wiping or flashing in recovery. Could have happened (and still will) to anyone on any kernel with faulty hardware. Totally unrelated to emmc brickbug.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmallBug:
Hi Guys,

I hv read below instructions:

===Quote===

Step-2) Please download Xperia Arc-S 4.0.4_431 ftf pack from here only and flash it through flash tools , in Arc and arc-s both , FTF is available in downloads

Flash every thing from ftf pack just exclude two things

1. simlock.ta

2. Kernel.sin

do not flash these two things, after flash power up your phone and let it start completely, now copy rom zip into SD card , and reboot your device into recovery

Why you need to do this ???

It will give you 440-MB internal memory and 419-MB System Rom memory

If you already have these memories then you can skip this step

===Unquote==

I hv tried a lots but couldn't flash it exclude "simlock.ta" & "Kernel.sin".

Could you please clarify ? thank you so much.

My phone's IMEI is stuck at the generic IMEI of 00499010640000, which appears doesn't work for neither my nor my wife's carriers. The EFS folder is apparently botched, because I tried following these instructions - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264021 and nothing changed. There was no .nv_data file, only a .nv_data.bak, which I tried using to no avail.

I saw this post for the SGS3 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1802024

Might that work with my phone? I want to try it, but I don't want to risk making the problem worse.

Also, my phone never asked me for the SIM PIN. Is that normal?
[Nexus 7 General] superdx:
After struggling with charing my N7 in my car for so long and spending a ton of money on car chargers, I realized that modifying the micro USB cable would allow any car charger, no matter if it's 1A, 2A or 2.1A to work. You can then use chargers that are designed for iPhones/iPads.

A USB cable is made up of 4 cables:

The N7 will recognize the USB cable as an AC charger if only Red & Black are connected. For some reason, if White & Green are connected, the N7 reufses to charge.

So what we're going to do is cut White & Green.

What you need:

1. A micro USB cable. Get one which is thick and is fairly long. It'll be easier to work with the wires underneath.

2. A wire cutter/stripper.

3. Electrical tape (I used scotch tape)

Here's how:

1. Take any micro USB cable that you may have lying around. A longer one would be better as you will be cutting it.

2. With a wire cutter, cut the cable into 2. Anywhere is fine, not too close to the plug on either end.

3. Remove the black rubber part of the cable to expose the 4 wires. They should be Red, Black, White and Green. If they're not color coded, you may need to find another cable or find out which cable is which!

4. Strip the Red & Black wire on both cables and expose the copper wiring underneath. About 10mm should be enough.

5. Tie the Red to the other Red, and same for Black. You can solder if you want, I just twisted it up.

6. With some electrical tape, wrap up the exposed wires.

7. The White & Green cables can be ignored. You can trim them to the black rubber just for neatness' sake.

8. Try out the cable with your N7. It should read as "Charging (AC)". If you have some iPad or iPhone chargers lying around, this would be a good test as normally the N7 will not charge from these.

You're done! You can now plug it into any cigarette lighter / USB charger device and the cable will now charge your N7. 1A chargers will work, but will just charge the N7 lower. If your GPS app uses a lot of power, then I suggest at 2A otherwise the N7 will still drain.

While I appreciate that you share your opinions on the N4 with us, your answers to the provided questions are not really helpful. It seems you didn't answer even one of them properly. Maybe the language barrier is the problem or you're not too used to Android or jelly bean in particular?

1. Can you go to Settings->battery and make a photo or screenshot (just hold Volume down and power at the same time to do a screenshot) of your battery graph? Maybe you could then tap on the graph itself to get more details an do a screenshot again.

2. Back on the first battery settings screen, tap on "Display" to get to a more detailed screen for screen-on time. Please make a screenshot here as well.

3. In which way is the camera on the back embedded? Your picture looks slightly different than the shots of other pre-release devices and your lens seems to be in a separate casing, which would be quite an improvement.

4. could you run some benchmarks like antutu, linpack and Quadrant on your phone? there are free versions in the playstore for download. Just upload screenshots of the scores.

5. can you make a screenshot of the Settings->about phone screen?

If you already answered some of the questions then I'm sorry, the thread is quite confusing :)

Nothing can beat GNex on this. You can't even wipe it clean. And if Nexus 4 is using the same Gorrila Glass 2 as GS3/Note2, that's the surface you can most easily get rid of finger prints afaik.
