[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPLEclipse:
How it started: I use a NC with mirage 7.2 flashed to the emmc in my car. It runs Torque to display engine data, and is switched in and out of sleep with the ignition. Two days ago I started the car and got the low-battery "exclamation point" icon thing, so I figured the charging cable must have come loose*. I took it all out and left it charging overnight, but when I went to boot it in the morning it was stuck in a cyanoboot loop. I couldn't power the device down or enter emmc recovery. When I completely unplug the NC I can't do anything, the screen remains black no matter what I press, except it flashes white every 5 seconds or so. If I manage to plug it on, get to the cyanoboot loading screen and unplug it while holding the power button down at the right time, I can sometimes get it to power off completely.

What I have done so far: Tried various recovery SD methods, none of which worked. Wiped cache/data/system, factory reset, tried loading 7.2 again over the top of whatever is left in there, lol. Basically after it first happened I probably made a big mess of the file system in a desperate attempt for some kind of stability. I tried this recovery SD: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25354258#post25354258 ; section A10, and managed to get into CWR. I've never felt such joy in my life.

What finally worked: I repaired the 2nd partition with the help of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1759558 . I did not repair or format any other partitions though. After repairing the partition, I did a factory reset and flashed mirage 7.2 and gapps back onto the emmc. Before I rebooted, I swapped a clean SD in but it still went back into the bootloop..BUT...when I put my recovery SD back in it booted into 7.2! I set everything up and was happy to have it running again. Battery level was at 88%.

What made it stop working: I was testing to make sure the NC would enter sleep mode when disconnected from power, so I unplugged it. Everything went black, no "sleeping" screen, just a hard shut-down. I powered it back on and I'm now back in a cyanomod boot loop. :eek:

So...any ideas? If there's a way to completely wipe and reinstall everything I'm OK with that. I've never used ADB before but I'll give it a shot if someone can lead me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

*I'm using a 2amp USB car charger with a modified data-looped cable for a/c style charging in the car. I know the supplied nook cables are prone to going bad, and this may have happened with the vibration of the car and all. Not sure.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPLEclipse:
Little update: I can sometimes get into TWRP by selecting the "normal emmc" boot from the cyanoboot screen. I don't understand how that's possible, as I flashed that on my original install of 7.2 months ago. Guess I need to figure out how to completely wipe and re-flash everything.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
To completely wipe and reflash everything, do the other two zips that you said you did not do from my partition repair thread.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPLEclipse:
No luck with that. Here's exactly what I did, so tell me where I might be going wrong:

1) Burned an image of the 6.1.0.2 recovery onto SD, then put the (2) recovery zips and the (1) format zip as well as the mirage 7.2 and gapp zips onto the SD.

2) Booted into cyanoboot, it took a few tries to get out of the loop and into CWM. Note that I can't power on at all unless it's plugged in. As soon as I unplug the NC it turns of except the screen will flash every 5 seconds or so. Once I got into CWM, I installed both partition repair zips, starting with the 1-4-5-6-7-8, followed by the 2. Rebooted. There were no errors at all.

3) Again it took a few tries to get out of the bootloop and into CWM. Installed the format zip and rebooted again.

4) Installed Mirage 7.2 and gapps and restarted, but went straight back into bootloop. I know that the rom requires a clean formated SD card, so before rebooting after I installed the zips I took out the SD card, formatted with SDFormatter and reinserted in into the NC.

I'm beginning to think this is something hardware related. :crying:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronokeeper:
Sounds like there might be some bad data in emmc, I had this problem before and fixed it by formatting everything , even emmc and wiping dalvik cache. Then boot off a SD card using the latest cwm.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It is possible that your partition table is messed up. The only way to find out is to boot to recovery, connect your USB cable to the PC and run ADB. It is also possible to make a CM bootable SD and use terminal emulator to check it out.

Once you get ADB shell or terminal emulator working, type the following command:

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

It should say 965 cylinders, 4 heads, 63 sectors.

If it does not, we need to do a manual repair.

You can also abandon emmc and just run off SD.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
Hello,

I have here a great working Samsung Galaxy T849 Tab from T-Mobile USA.

It is unlocked already and I can use it with a SIM different from T-Mobile USA :)

It is not yet rooted.

Now here is what I would like to do (like most of you years before):

I would like to enable the dialer for making GSM calls.

I would also like to have an unbranded Firmware without the T-Mobile logo and the custom apps which are preinstalled (I read a European firmware will do).

Of course I would like to have an Android Gingerbread version (2.3.3 or 2.3.6) instead of the current Froyo (2.2).

I know the Tab is very similar to the P1000, actually it says:

I got the P1000XWJQ8_P1000DBTJQ1_DBT firmware from sammobile.com (samfirmware.com) or I can download any other P1000 Gingerbread firmware from there.

I think the modem (GSM/3G) is different from the P1000.

Can the T849 use an internet connection faster than 3G EDGE (like 3.5G up to 3.6/7.2 Mb/s)

outside

the USA?

Can I simply use the mentioned P1000 firmware with Odin or will I brick my Tablet?

All posts I found about the T849 are very old and most links and downloads do not work anymore.

I was not able to find a z4root.1.3.0.apk which will root my device.

The web page of Team Overcome is dead for years. Their downloads seem not available anymore.

Please help!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Yes, I am on T849 now running AOKP JB. Our tab is the same as P1000 and more. Our modem/radio support more bands.

I used to run overcome ROM. In Australia.

I can make phone calls and have 3G data.

Follow my signature for new overcome link and guides.

Jump to page 7 of the guide.

Forget about rooting/backup, just flash away.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
Hello,

thank you for your fast answer.

Your link in your signature will even lead me to a Android 4.1.0. !!!???

I would have been happy with a 2.3.x solution.

Will this very advanced Android version work on our "slow" single-core Tabs in a proper and fast way?

The Cortex A8 with its 1GHz speed is really a fast processor (I think the fastest mobile single-core) but won't Android 4.1.0 slow it down?

Important for anybody in the future who will read this thread:

Please pay special attention to page 8 of 15 of the mentioned PDF-manual.

Please chose the correct "modem.bin" file corresponding to your modem-hardware (Europe, North America, South America etc.).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Once overcome kernel is in, you have clockworkmod recovery. You can flash all the way to android 4.2.2

Try out and find out for how good are they for yourself.

For modem, JPZ is almost always the best one outside USA.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
Oh, thanks again.

So I will have Android 2.3.6 with the update, not a 4.x.x version.

Only the Kernel is 4.1.1.

I got this wrong before :o

Now my T849 is branded T-Mobile and from the USA.

I will use it outside the USA (Europe and Asia) and the 3G/3.5G signal is here on 2100 MHz as I found out on my old 3G Router Huawei B200W.

Will the T849 support the 2100 MHz 3G frequency after an update?

So far I got only EDGE speed.

So I have the modem options:

JPZ

T-Mobile

Will the

JPZ

work with my hardware?

I did firmware updates before with Odin (Galaxy S 2 from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean; Wave II from Bada 1 to Bada 2; Galaxy Young - now on 2.3.6) but the work was not so complex so I am better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
JPZ should give you HSDPA at 2100Mhz.

If not, there are modem from the Captivate that works, but huge battery drain.

The overcome Rom is called series 7 4.1

But it is GB 2.3.5

What I meant is after that you can flash CM9/10/10.1 or AOKP or anything you wish.

I am on AOKP JB 4.2.2 but it is unreleased yet. I am one of the tester.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
Wow, this is all amazing news!

Once I have it back I will try it out, Gingerbread is great!

I can get the tab for around US$ 80,- in a perfect running condition as I was able to test it for two days.

Small excursus:

Android 4.x is great with extra features as I know from my Galaxy S 2 (R.I.P.) but since I got the first 4.0.x version on it I got a new mainboard one year ago and now, one week after flashing 4.1.1 (or was it 4.1.2?) the main board is dead again. They say in the service center it was overheated.

I did not do anything but surfing and some music from time to time. The board will coast US$ 240,- , three times the price for this used tab

I won't have it fixed since the warranty is expired. Maybe I can sell the display "as new" since it is also the second one.

Didn't have good luck with the GS2 :crying:

There is no hardware problem with the old Froyo and Gingerbread phones / tabs here in the family / friends.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:

Hello!

Here is my positive feedback!

It worked fine and now I have Android 2.3.3 on my T849.

Calling and receiving calling works now - even though this did not right away?

Can send and receive SMS /texts.

The T-Mobile branding is gone.

As I think (see screen-shot) I should have the Overcome Kernel now. The installation in the recovery was aborted but it is there!?

So far I can use

only EGDE

(up tp 384 kbp/s) for data connection, the 2100 MHz seems not to work (with JPZ modem (see screen-shot)).

I have seen P1000 / T849 running Android Jelly Bean on ebay.com today! (maybe get another Tab for my wife)

I will try to contact the owners.

Thanks again, priyana!

PS: there was NO need to root the Tab. The instruction was a little bit confusing in this point and I spent some time finding info about how to root it.

Gingerbread was / is really a big step compared to Froyo Android, was naver aware of this until I found out this week (new keyboard, stock browser especially).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
what network are you using?

Could be due to wrong APN settings that you are not getting 3G.

And BTW, the Overcome Kernel is installed via Odin.

Whatever you tried to flash and aborted "from recovery" couldn't have been overcome kernel.

Yeah, no need rooting and checking bootloader etc.

That is why in my original reply:

"Jump to page 7 of the guide.

Forget about rooting/backup, just flash away."
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
Hello again,

I am in the Philippines.

I use Globe and Smart, these are the main providers here.

In "GSM only" on the tab I have signal, I can call/text and have a (slow) internet connection with the data package activated.

In "WCDMA only" I have NO SIGNAL AT ALL, showing no bars for the signal only the circle with the line.

So: no call, no text, no internet.

Internet - faster than EDGE - is is here the Philippines only on 2100 MHz,

I have tried this with my 3G browser.

Regarding to the official Samsung page the T839 does not have access to the 2100 MHz:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/SGH-T849ZKATMB-specs

I have read some other threads here in xda-developers: some were successful, some not.

Maybe they built in different hardware and mine really does not support anything faster than EDGE.

For no I can live with this.

Anyway I have currently network issues with messages (the Tab is fine, my wife does not get my texts on the same network for a week now, when I send a text to her other phone which is the other network she gets it right away).

Maybe I will try flashing other modems which I find here.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Well, not saying that your link is inaccurate.

Just that it is incomplete.

It shows the GSM/EDGE freq but not the UMTS (3G) freq.

This one shows it has 2100MHz

http://www.allabouttablet.com/tablets/samusng-tablet-specs/galaxy-tab-7-t-mobile-sgh-t849_3661.html

but not a Samsung official link.

Pretty sure (I own one T849 too) that it can do 2100MHz UMTS.

Edit: linking you to one post that is not to do with Galaxy Tab, but about APNs for The Phillipines:

Coming closer to success!

I have now the original European (German) Firmware 2.3.6 XWJQ8 from sammobile.com.

(Sorry for kicking out your ROM for now, might go back later since YOUR Rom and Kernel seem more stable :good:

This XWJQ8 definitely has the European modem (also for here).

Then I changed to "WCDMA" and in this mode I restarted the Tab.

After reboot I got "gray" signal bars, meaning I am not in my network but it said "Emergency call only" :)

So technically we come closer.

I went to the front site of the house and I was able to register on my network. :)

Unfortunately I was not yet able to make calls in WCDMA and I didn't get an "E" or "3G" or "H", "H+" or whatever even when switching on the paket data. :(

There is really a network issue right now here... :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
I can confirm now that the T849 is able to connect to the W2100 UMTS network outside the USA, I think this is usually the case for UMTS faster than EDGE.

I got a signal saying "H" and sometimes "H+" and the Speedtest was successful with a little bit slower than 1Mb/s.

I was also able to place calls in the WCDMA mode which seems to be an issue in other threads here in this forum.

Now I love my T849 / P1000 even more since I do not have to carry about two phones.

A bluetooth or normal headset will do but also the normal speaker is much better than any other phone on the market, what else does somebody need?

***

Off-topic: I was able to root it and got ride off many unneeded apps (my first root on a smart phones BTW).

ES File Explorer did an update from one day to the other so I was not able to reinstall some needed apps (orientation rotating did not work and the home /search button were disabled, OOPS).

Better choice is Titanium backup (free version will do).

The phone is now mostly custom made for me.

I also deleted all unnecessary ring tones and notification tones.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devinpatterson:
I'm in the U.S. with teh same model T849, (rooted via z4root). Like Der-mali, I am focused on getting GSM voice capability, but am also interested in an updated rom like ics or JB.

One of the primary reasons I grabbed the t-mobile version was for it's voice capability, but I was disappointed because I was under the impression I would be stuck with the overcome rom if I wanted to retain the voice capabilities. If I read your post right, overclock is a stepping stone for most (all?) of the gsm roms?

Does that also mean that most of the GSM roms have the dialer app, sms etc built in as well? That essentially, it will just be question of choosing the right t-mobile modem for use in teh U.S. and that most (all?) gsm roms are available to me without sacrificing gsm calling?

Sorry for the noob question, but I'm new to teh tab scene and trying to make sense of my options.

P.S. do you have any favorite roms (preferably JB, that support gsm voice/sms) that you'd recommend or have enjoyed using?

Please disregard this post since it is based on wrong assumption due to a misunderstanding (my fault!).

GB-stock-safe-v5 is not overcome ROM.

It is Samsung JQ1 GB 2.3.3

Overcome Series 7 version 4.1 if I am not mistaken is a GB 2.3.6

Perhaps you only have gone as far as GB-stock-safe-v5 + Overcome Kernel?

That is not Overcome ROM at all.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

You are correct. In fact, most ROMs, be it stock Samsung (except the North American version:TMo,AT&T, or Canadian telcos) or open source based, have dialers and SMS.

The next part is more confusing for you:

- the JJ3 or whatever stock Tmo modem for the tab, can let you do only 1 thing: 3G data at 1700MHz

- therefore even with Euro ROM, you can't make phone call. For that you need the JPZ modem. But JPZ modem won't support 3G at 1700MHz, you will only get 2G Edge speed.

- For us who are not in the USA, JPZ modem is good for us because we get voice call and 3G at 2100MHz.

- if you want to retain 3G and make voice call, you need a script to switch the modem and reboot.

One such script for GB ROM (so called BML ROM) is created by rotohammer. It is called roto modem switcher, you can find in in old threads here.

I have modified it to run in the new "MTD" ROM. let me know if you need it.

Having said all of that, I am not sure if the telco will detect that you are using a TAB and then: 1) don't let you make calls, 2) if you use phone SIM, don't let you access data.

All of those are telco's restrictions. Hope they don't affect you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
I now have the Overcome Rom on my T849 and I can confirm that it is GB 2.3.6. :good:

Most unneeded apps were already removed and I even removed more like SocialHub, DigitalFrame, ThinkOffice etc.

I think I will later place my own APKs into the respective app folder of the ROM so I can use it as a personal recovery.

I think what is long overdue is that "Market" should be replaced" with "PlayStore" APK. This applies for all ROMs on the "market".

I do not know at the moment if this is easily doable since there seem to be lots of dependencies for the PlayStore, I will have a look at it.

Something went wrong last time. That was this issue with not being able to install the ROM in the recovery mode I was talking about :o
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devinpatterson:
I really appreciate the clarification/explanation, it gives my tab a whole new lease on life.

No worries on this one. I'm in the unenviable position of only having 2g coverage by t-mobile (even though verizon as well as AT&T has already rolled out 4G lte coverage here).

Maybe I'll keep an eye out for an at&t version of the tab. From browsing the "[HOW-TO] Flash your at&t Tab to make calls + 1900+850 WCDMA - UPDATED" thread it looks like modem rom and supported bands are a lot less problematic than t-mobile version (and in my case I'd have 3G).

There is a file called "gapps" here:

http://goo.im/gapps

You can copy this ZIP file into the

internal

SD card of your tab and install it from the recovery mode

(you should have the Overcome or a similar recovery kernel).

I have not done it for GB 2.3.6 but it works for the JB 4.2.2 version which I am currently using.

I would say GB 2.3.6 is better for the P1000, JB 4.2.2 got a very complex operation system for a "mobile computer" like our tabs.

[HTC One X+] cozzamara:
My HOX+ (international model) worked fine for months, but yesterday it suddenly lost signal and now it's stuck in the airplane mode. When that happened, I didn't reboot, upgrade or otherwise tampered with the phone. The phone was rooted and had Elegancia ROM 4.5.0 installed long time ago.

This problem is mentioned in few other threads, but in my case the phone randomly comes out of the airplane mode by itself for few minutes and then goes back. During these short periods everything works - i.e. I can make calls and get 3G data and see IMEI. That happens once every few hours. Perhaps this was the case for other people as well, but nobody mentioned that so far. Wi-Fi does work all the time, though - so only cellular network is broken.

I wiped cache, simulated battery pull, and installed Elegancia ROM 5.2.0 and re-flashed boot.img from it. Nothing helps. It looks like hardware problem, but before I try repair options, perhaps anyone here has other ideas.

Speaking of hardware repairs, does anyone have experience with repairing rooted HTC phones ? I understand that unlocking bootloader voids warranty, but they will still repair it for a fee - right ?
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Can you remember when those situations are happening if the cellular network signal is weak in this area? Is this problem occurring everywhere or specifically in a zone area e.g. only work, only at home,etc.?

Are you using the Power Saver mode?

Maybe your SIM card is just a bit loose in it's support, try to install a "scotch" tape cut-to-size on its back, it only takes 5 minutes to try and its free!

Not at all! Your warranty with your provider can be void, but not with HTC.

Many reports of the same issue with the Nexus Galaxy HERE
[HTC One X+] cozzamara:
Yes, I am absolutely positive now it's a hardware problem. The same SIM card works perfectly in another phone, and other SIM cards don't work in this HOX+ with the same symptoms. The phone doesn't even notice absence of SIM card when there's none - it says "No Service", and doesn't say "No SIM Card", which it normally did before.

That is not what HTC told me. Their phone representative said that unlocking bootloader voids the warranty, regardless of how your purchased the phone.

I was ready to go ahead with paid repair, but after checking IMEI number, they told me this is a global (C2) model, originating in UK, and not only their warranty doesn't apply here, HTC USA won't even repair it for a fee because they don't have necessary parts. This was factory-unlocked international HTC One X+ (model S728E), purchased on US eBay, and yes - it is UK model, so I'm stuck now. I'll update when I talk to HTC in UK.
