[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thedeadletters:
Hi.

I haven't updated the Evo 4GLTE since April 2012 and want to update it to whatever the current stock rom is. I'm giving it to a friend who doesn't have much experience with phones/technology and might accidentally select "Bootloader" or "Recovery" from the restart menu if I gave it to her in its current condition. Needless to say, I've been out of the "flashing roms every week" game for quite some time on this phone. I don't care if it loses root in the process.

It is currently rooted with S-On running Stock w/Goodies 1.6, Hboot version 1.12.

What would happen if I accepted the pushed system update?

Do I have to install Linux to acquire S-Off to return to stock or is their an easier method?

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You can use Facepalm to get S-off. It's Windows friendly and takes less than five minutes from start to finish. Afterwards you can run VipeRUU and it will update your software version to the newest one and get you the newest firmware, also (you must be S-off to use it). It will also return the phone to completely stock, unrooted & S-on. The link to VipeRUU is in the Development thread. Facepalm can be found in Original Development.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thedeadletters:
Thanks for the quick reply. In order to use Facepalm, I need to obtain SuperCID. The only method I found says that it's ancient and outdated.

I also saw (on the Facepalm thread) "SuperCID for HTC Evo 4G LTE:" and then some adb code. Do I just run those commands to obtain SuperCID?

Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Run the very first set of commands posted in the Facepalm thread. You can copy and paste them into your command prompt. Once successful run the rest of the commands. Make sure that the two files you need to download are in the same directory as your ADB folder and you'll be good to go:thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thedeadletters:
Thanks for all the help. I finally had time to sit down and run all the processes. VipeRUU scared me a bit by being stuck on "flashing" while the HTC process bar (on the phone) was about 2/3 full for about 8 minutes, but then it completed and everything is totally fine.

I appreciate your replies and glad that XDA still retains such great community members such as yourself.

I have noticed that many ROM threads are being closed recently. What's going on with that? Can't even find a couple of my favorite.

Probably the GE 4.3 based. I think Google politely asked XDA to hold off for now on those...but I might be wrong.

Anyways, as dlfar as locked ROM threads go, seen a few get locked up in the last week. 1 I think was because the dev was using another devs work without permission. Is this happening with most of the others?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezerhale:
Hi. I hope this is the correct forum. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) won't shut down after the latest firmware update. I believe I had 4.2.1 and now I have 4.2.2. My device name is is GT-P5113. I plugged the Tab into my computer and Kies opened automatically. It said there was an update for my device so I updated.

All seems to be ok, but now when I choose to "shut down" the tablet shuts down and then cycles back on as if I had just pressed the power button to turn it back on.

I guess it could be worse - it could be refusing to turn on.

Is there a fix for this? Anybody else had this problem?

It is not rooted and I don't really want to do so.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I think u could wipe cache in stock recovery I would do that and see if that fixes it. Hold down vol up and power at the same time till the device reboots into recovery. Dunno how it is on the bigger ones but on the 7" I have to keeo holding the buttons for a second longer after the samsung gtab2 logo comes on to boot in to recovery.

Remember u dont want to factory reset just wipe cache
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezerhale:
wipe cache

Thank you for the reply. I tried that and got an "error". I was able to get to recovery mode and choose "wipe cache". It begins and I get an error message.

I just uploaded 4 pics to a section of a website that I already have running.

Here is the link:

The images show the end process of updating through Kies (I screen captured), the current tab info, the recovery screen and the error I get when I try to erase cache. Keep in mind, I am able to reboot and my tablet comes on like normal - no issues except when I try to turn it off - it comes right back on.

Did you try flashing pit?? did you flash jb bootloader ?? did your device be rooted before flash ?? were you on cm/aokp/pac/slim/etc ??? if yes whic h build did you flash black hawk next kernel ?? <--- may be it what caused it :confused: ---> did you try to downgrade to 4.0.3/4.0.4/4.1.2 if yes what happened what did you flash before going to stock rom like mod and etc ???? hope you answer these questions !!

also try this

enable usb debugging

turn off your tab fully

connect tab to pc pull a logcat dsmg ksmg and post them as txt or pastbin

does your tab stuck in recovery loop like rebooting always to recovery sometimes until you compeletly shut down the tab?

if it is under warranty return it to SAMMY TO FIX IT IT IS THEIR FAULT !!

i think it is not hard ware related don't worry !!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SebasC:
Also flashing back to 4.1.1 or lower will eliminate the problem
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezerhale:
I know I could probably do that (flash back) myself, but I just don't want to. I have bricked a Kindle Fire before while trying to make it do what I wanted it to. I don't want to mess with this Galaxy - it does exactly what I want it to --- surf the web, Netflix/Hulu, and comic books - I'm not too complicated!

I spoke with Samsung yesterday and they said to try a hard reset. That did not work. I spoke with another rep this morning and they are going to repair or replace it for me. He sent a shipping label to my email. This was a gift and I have no receipt. I am VERY pleased with the service from Samsung.

Why shoukd he feel burdened for something he had no control over. Samsung sent the update, iys not his fault its not doing what it should. If he wants to return it cuz it doesnt turn off as it should he has every right to do so. At least he didnt brick it and is expecting samsung to pay for it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d86:
I had the same problem

Hello,

I registered here to just answer your question since I've been searching around on the internet as well for this problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with version 4.2.1. I updated to version 4.2.2 and all hell broke loose. Before I get into it, I had a perfectly working tablet that never had any problems. I installed all updates through OTA or Samsung Kies. It's not rooted.

Anyway, after the update to 4.2.2 my tablet wouldn't turn on. I had to plug it into the wall outlet and then it finally turned on. After playing around with it, some of the widgets didn't work so I thought maybe I should turn it off and reboot it. When I chose "power off" it wouldn't turn off. Instead it would automatically restart. After trying several attempts it still wouldn't turn off so I contacted Samsung. They made me clear the cache and then wipe out the whole system and install a fresh copy of the software. The tablet then went black and now all that was shown on the screen was the little android bot with the error message like how yours is now. It wouldn't boot up to the main screen anymore.

So I had to return the tablet back to Samsung yesterday and they are going to attempt to fix it. It's still under warranty but I'll be pissed if I won't be able to install the new software on my tablet since I like the new updates they did for it.

Anyway, sorry for my long response but I hope this helps you out even though nothing was resolved. I'll post what happens once I get back my tablet.

Similar "Reboot after turn off" issue

I have the same "can't turn off" issue on my stock Tab 2 10.1 updated to 4.2.2 via Kies. After turning off and confirming on the screen, the tablet simply turns back on. This typically happens several times in a row before something happens and it stays off. I emailed Samsung to request support.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungTab2User:
Reboot issues

I had a live chat with Samsung just now. It is interesting that the tech I communicated with did not know of any issue with the rebooting and there was no mention in their system that a problem even existed (so I sent a link to this page to him).

Anyway, the end result was that it I wanted to fix the problem, I would have to restore Android through KIES:

samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00052690/61266/GT-P3113GRSXAR

This will delete all data and get back to Android 4.2.1

Since I have already have seen issues with KIES, I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just use ODIN? Any suggestions from those who might have tried both?

update #1

Just wanted to give an update. Samsung sent me an email yesterday stating they "fixed" my tablet. I should be getting back my tablet by the end of this week or early next week. The receipt said that it was a "software problem" and they reinstalled new software with the latest update. I'm just wondering if it's 4.1.2(that worked fine with my tablet) or 4.2.2(which messed up my tablet)

I'll give another update once I get it in my possession.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

I tried this when I chatted with Samsung and it messed up my tablet completely where as when I rebooted my tablet it would show an android robot with "error"

Plus, I don't know about you but I don't want to have 4.2.1. I want to have the 4.2.2 update on my tablet. It's a much more sleeker interface. Just the only problem is that it wouldn't shut off. I will see what happens once I have it. If 4.2.1 is on my tablet I will try again updating the software to 4.2.2.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impliu:
There are some problems like boot fail or can't poweroff I've seen at some posts, they do the same things:

1.flash a 4.2.2 stock rom

2.have some problems: boot fail or can't poweroff eg..

3.boot to recovery and want to wipe the cache

4.get a error with the robot logo lie down

I found a post mentions that he've fixed this problem by using odin 3.07 flash the 4.2.2 stock rom with a matched kernel boot file.

The post is here, it's in chinese:

http://b.it168.com/thread-4690107-1-1.html

His solution is get to this site to find the 4.2.2 stock rom and matched kernel file of your device and use odin 3.07 flash them:

do it at your own risk maybe solve your problem.

Update #2

So I got my tablet today and I turned it on to see that it had android software 4.1.1. Then the software update icon popped up and I updated to 4.2.2. Then the same problem happened again like the last time. The tablet wouldn't turn off and it would automatically restart. I contacted Samsung Support again and they had me do a factory reset which then fried my tablet again. It doesn't turn on. So now I have to send it back again for a 2nd time. This time they said they may have to replace the tablet either with the same tablet or a different model tablet. But I stressed to them to make sure to update the tablet this time to 4.2.2 so they can see the problem I'm facing. We shall see next week I guess what happens.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezerhale:
Same here. I got my tablet back today. I turned it on, connected to wifi and it prompted me to update. I did. Wifi, not Kies. Same problem. It won't shut down. I will contact Samsung again tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d86:
Yeah, the first time I did the update it was through Kies. This time it was done OTA. Same results both times. I sent it back to them today. I'll give an update in a week or so.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SebasC:
Sending it in is not going to fix it, the software they're going to provide you is the same everyone else is getting. The problem will remain unless their product team fixes the software problem... No point in losing your tablet for a few days and return it to you with the same crap...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceapea:
I think that I found a way to temporarily (until Samsung/Android fixes the problem) shut down the Tab 2. After having the unit reboot several times, I plugged it in and tried shutting it down. It rebooted once, then I was able to shut it down. I repeated this two more times, it works. At least now it will shut down. If you want, you can then unplug it. It stays off at that point.

In addition to this problem, I didn't like the update anyway. I hope to go back to 4.2.1

Stupid me for downloading it without checking on the update.

Android better fix this...quick!

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezerhale:
The Samsung repair place is simply rolling the firmware back. That provides a fix for the problem at hand. It does not provide a fix for the bad firmware. I guess I will have to set the tablet to not update for the time being.

I have corresponded with several agents online and they claim Samsung has no other notifications of this problem. They all appear to be idiots. The phone service has been pretty good.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceapea:
Interesting. I talked with them (Samsung) yesterday. They said that they have no control over the updates and cannot reverse (or revert to last update). They said it all falls on Android to create and distribute the updates. Samsung has no copy of any firmware that they can provide. I did give them the sequence that I came up with to shut down the device. It does work, I have performed the process at least seven times now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceapea:
Well, my Tab 2 is now working correctly. My wife tried shutting it down, and it rebooted, like it has since the firmware update.

She asked me to shut it down. That was when I had seen that there was an update for HP printer driver(???).

After the update was complete, the Tab now shuts down correctly, every time. Go figure.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjscheel:
HP Printer update worked for me

Sounds like your wife should join Samsung support!

I too tried only updating the HP ePrint application and that appears to have solved it. FWIW, my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is not rooted and has been experiencing the same problem since update. Because I travel alot, I've had time to play with things such that I could get Power Off to work if I did it immediately after a restart. And, IIRC, all of them would work for awhile. That makes me suspicious that the ePrint update may be a red herring.

I'm on the road again next week and will have plenty of opportunity to see if the problem returns. Will post an update if problem returns.

FWIW, I work in the SW industry and don't believe for a minute that Samsung lets someone else ship the OS for their hardware. Sure, the base Android OS is opensource, but Samsung most certainly customizes it for their platform. They *should* be testing it as well and admitting their mistakes. Thank heavens for the Internet and smart wives!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjscheel:
UPDATE: HP Printer update worked for me

Well, intermittently my tablet still restarts are Power Off. It's better but not perfect. If it restarts, I can immediately Power Off again and (so far) it seems to succeed. I've made no changes to settings, nor loaded any updates. Just "normal" use like reading emails, posting to G+, etc.

For those who are still struggling, see if there are any commonalities with what I've suggested. Can you restart and Power Off immediately? Do you have the HP ePrint driver on your system? Does your behavior change after updating it?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceapea:
Yeah, mine started the reboot thing again in a few days. I agree with you about the HP eprint idea, wasn't a fix in the first place. Just a coincidence.

I too can shut it down after/on the second attempt.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjscheel:
Re: HP Printer update worked for me

Agree. Traveled Monday and the tablet still restarts on Power Off intermittently (after being on for a bit) but will indeed Power Off on the second attempt. This is different behavior. Before applying the ePrint driver update it would repeatedly restart on Power Off.

I had this exact same problem- here's the fix:

Go into application manager, go to "all apps", and find "software update". Stop and then remove the software update V6. After reboot the tablet will shut down.

can't shut down after 4.2.2 update

I had the same prob and read a lot of posts on different sites until i got that one of the OS programs was causing this prob. long story short - just revert samsung push to pre 4.2.2 mod in app manager. OS may hang for a while when you try to get back into the home screen but just keep on trying to shut down and when it does shut down the prob is fixed. I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT THIS DID NOT STAY FIXED. 2 DAYS LATER IT STARTED REBOOTING AGAIN. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

Thanks for the suggestion to flash it with a non Samsung build but I don't feel comfortable with that solution as everything else in 4.2.2 seems to be working fine. If Samsung doesn't come up with a fix in a couple of weeks I might try a 3rd party flash.

So, I decided that I would send in my 10" Tab2 for repairs.

I call Samsung to get the process started and they put me on a "list", saying that there is no fix, yet. They will notify me when something can be done. They went on to say that if they revert back to the previous version, it will just update (automatically?) and start the reboot thinggy again.

Are you guys, that have sent in your tab, sending them to Samsung? Does it continue to work correctly? Can you turn off the auto update for the OS?

Thanks.
