[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] keijames:
Dear all,

I need your advise / help.

Friend of my asking me for help to recovery his Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE, he tell me that, during his root process, he brick his Tab 8.9. Now the tab is showing Black all time. I taken a look, and connected to Data USB cable, connect it to PC.

This WIN7 OS direct the tab and install USB driver. When I push on/off button, the tab seems reboot itself into loop. But the screen not showning anything at all.

I put it into Samsung charger ( not USB to PC). But it does not shown the Big icon of battery. But I know it is live. As the PC response with installing USB driver. But the USB drive was pickup wrongly, as some kind of USB reader. NOT the Tab 8.9.

What is the best way to recovery this tab 8.9 to factory ROM ? I did downloaded lastest P7320ZHLP8_P7320ZZHLP8_P7320ZHLP2_CL1174893_user_l ow_HOME.tar from sammobile.com and have ODIN 1.85 ready. I just need to find a way to get this tab into download MODE.

Can you help and advise.

many thanks

If Odin recognizes the device flash the stock tar. The yellow com port will show up in Odin if it recognizes it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] keijames:
Yes, I did tried ODIN, but it does not flag up yellow com port, as it needs to be in download mode in order for ODIN to connect the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
It sounds like you're hard bricked. If it's still in warranty Samsung should fix it. If its not look for a jtag service for the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] keijames:

by the way, the tab still up running on battery, my guess if it I let it discharge itself, until battery flat, so it acturally shutdown.

Use Odin to flash the stock rom. You can get the rom at sammobile.com. you'll have to sign up but it's free. You can extract the tar.md5 file out of the zip file using 7-zip. Flash the md5 file.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiCASSiMO:
I'm seeing that from Android phone to phone, each manufacturer tends to place the back key (whether usual hardware or Nexus Galaxy/4 software/virtual) in different locations. This tends to be annoying, especially if you have got used to placing your thumb in the "back" location.

I'm sure that on the Nexus 4, the software/virtual based BACK / HOME / APP buttons can be assigned. But can they be done without rooting and putting on a custom ROM? I'm not ready to go through rooting my new Nexus 4 (yet), and I'm hoping that Google put a little freedom into their 4.2.1 O/S.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
Nope

Not stock

Need custom ROM AFAIK
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Doubt Google would add that in. Have to flash a custom ROM.

Custom ROM is the only way. If you want we can guide you through the process of flashing one if you like to. Don't use a toolkit is the first step. Take the time and learn it as it takes < 30 minutes to learn and it will be a basic "get me out of this hole!" method when your phone is somehow ever in a non bootable state and you won't mistaken yourself for bricking your phone when its not ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1972508 is a good guide to get started on for unlocking your bootloader which is the first step.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
Don't know why everyone is so against toolkits. I have used them on my galaxy nexus. Sgs3 and now my nexus4 numerous times and haven't had a single issue. Ever.

The toolkits runs the same commands that you would if you were to do it in fast boot and cmd.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I am personally against toolkits because people are using it without knowing what they're doing and not knowing how to do basic things such as fastboot and adb. Then they come to using recoveries not knowing what happened and end up messing their phones up.

Yes it runs the SAME commands, but you aren't doing it yourself.

It's like what I said in other threads,

Let's say you wanted to go from Home (point A) to school (point B). You can do it in two ways,

1) Do it manually and learn the steps on how to go from Point A to B.

2) Use a toolkit that will get you to Point A to B, not knowing HOW you got to Point B.

I'm not saying this to get people to become smart or learn some stupid commands that they will never use. Chances are, every user flashing things on XDA should know these basic commands (not even know because you can just look it up).

If you used Method 2, what happens if theres a road closure? What do you do there?! you used a toolkit, you are stuck and you resort to asking questions on how to get back to Point A to reroute yourself to Point B.

If you used Method 1, you are able to backtrack yourself to fix problems leading to a better community which will result in less questions on how to return back to stock for warranty purposes, RMA purposes, flashing something and their phone isn't booting up but THEY CAN boot into bootloader mode (if they used toolkit, they dont know how to flash back to stock or flash a new recovery). Things like that. After all, this is a DEVELOPER forum not a tech support forum, am I not right about this?

Both method 1 & 2 brings you to Point B. But method 1 is more important as eventually, people using toolkits will need to use fastboot and adb sometime. Maybe not today, but sometime in their lifetime they will have to use it and will have to learn. So why not spend the 15-20 minutes and learn it now? Not be spoon fed. I used the G1, I had to work my butt to obtain root via 30-35 minute of using ADB shell and terminal emulator.

Yes method 1 takes longer (not that much longer) but in the end it'll pay off and is worth spending that 15-20 minute reading it, it's a step-by-step process and doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how to do it. It looks difficult at the start (it really doesn't, just follow the steps in the guide as it goes) but after that it looks like a walk in a park and is just as easy as using a toolkit.

Then I deleted flash bar service apk from the phone in system app and pasted the new flash bar service apk.

I have experienced and heard others complain of call echo on several different Samsung Galaxy products, Vibrant, S II and S III and running on 3 different networks, T Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. Some of the phones were completely stock, some stock but rooted and others rooted with custom roms. The only common denominator seems to be Samsung. Anybody know of any other devices with call echo problems and or a fix ( I know about noise suppression on some of the custom roms) or cause of the problem.?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] GeekDragon:
I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited that has built in audio (cell) Bluetooth which is great since I drive a lot between Washington DC and Boston (I live in NJ) and talking on the phone is very easy and safe. However the built in Bluetooth doesn't have A2DP so I've hooked up my Blackberry Stereo Gateway to stream music through that. This setup worked fine for my OG Dinc but with the 4G has problems connecting to both at the same time. What seems to happen is once the music starts playing the car's BT drops out and won't accept calls and then I have to force a reconnect as it no longer auto connects. Has anyone had issues connecting to 2 BT devices at the same time?

I'm rooted with s-off running the stock ROM.

For those of you, who are interested in adding multi-language handwriting/recognition support to their S Note application, and who are not afraid to experiment, please read on.

I have extracted S Note 4.9.1.16 from wanam's deodexed N7100XXDLL4 based ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928227), and repackaged it as CWM/TWRP flashable .zip

There are no warranties, so please try it at your own risk. And please make sure you backup before you try.

I am sharing this, because it did work perfectly for me, details below...

See the languages supported (this is a list of directories under /system/VODB):

ar bg ca_ES cs_CZ da_DK de_DE el_GR en_GB en_US es_ES es_US et eu fi_FI r_CA fr_FR gl hr hu_HU id_ID is it_IT kk_KZ ko_KR lt lv ms_MY nb_NO nl_NL pl_PL pt_BR pt_PT ro_RO ru_RU sk sl sr sv_SE th tr_TR uk ur vi_VN zh_CN zh_HK zh_TW

I am using aminalmo's deodexed N7105XXDLL1 based ROM (MyRom V3 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2043191). I have installed MyRomV3 without S Note as aminalmo suggested (there is a bug in V3, where S Note keeps FC-ing if it is selected in Aroma), but rather than using his LL1 based S Note with limited language support I just installed the one from wanam's LL4 via Recovery...

I guess one can just pick only needed language files from VODB directory and pick all the required libs (if not already present), but I did not separate

anything and just grabbed it all from LL4 :) You can tweak it further or fix it (if something is missing) if you like.

Please let me know if you have VODB language dirs that I don't have, so I could add them here to make it the most complete ML package (for example, Japanese is missing from the list above).

I have not tried it on stock 4.1.2 T-Mobile ROM or any other SGH-T889 compatible ROM yet, so your feedback would certainly be beneficial to everybody. I assume this should work on any Note II (SGH-T889, N7100, N7105 etc.) and maybe even Galaxy S III models with 4.1.2 base, not just on N7105XXDLL1/N7100XXDLL4 based ROMs, please test it and let me know if I am wrong.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crym:
I got my hands on a Xperia S and just started looking into the android development stuff...

If I would compiled a JB kernel for the device as well as AOSP 4.1.2, and lets say the recoveryimage from CM. I am wondering how / if everything works together.

The recovery partition seems to be non writable and it seems that people are advised to flash the CWM recovery to the boot partition. I thought this partition is the one for the actual kernel? Even if so, how does the combination of my kernel.elf and CWM recovery work?

If I get this done this brings up the next question, is the same kernel used to bootup the whole system later on? What I would like to see is something like a flow chart where I see how control is passed around and to what address, and which initrd does what... maybe someone can correct or expand the following:

first stage bootloader (recovery partition?)

apparently I can boot into different modes (fastboot, flash, ...)

on normal boot the kernel from the boot partition gets loaded into ram (execution starts at 0x40208000 ?)

kernel (boot partition)

... does initializaiton stuff ...

in the end init from initrd fires up either the CWM recovery (?) or userspace (?)

I assume in userspace the usr init fires up the dalvik vm and android boots as usual (this is the system partition I get from AOSP ?)

How exactly does it work for CWM and where is it located in the ROM and RAM?

I am sorry if the information is already posted somewhere in these forums but I wasn't able to acquire it so far.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Hi,

Let me try to clarify a bit, at least on how I see it:

Bootloader is indeed capable of handling multiple modes:

- flash mode

- fastboot

- normal kernel boot

- recovery / fota kernel boot (disabled with unlocked bootloader)

When unlocking bootloader, the only kernel we can boot is normal kernel. You can write to fota kernel partition, but it will not boot anything unsigned there and will boot normal kernel instead.

So in our custom roms, Android and recovery are using the same kernel, we add recovery files in the Android initramfs, and the switch is handled by init.*.rc with a script that detects keypress and is launching recovery if volume key is pressed.
