[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adithyabhat7:
Hello guys,

I have a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 P 5200 and I tried to root it for the first time because i wanted to install a stock android rom. So I installed a root by following the info on some site (I know it is not XDA Developers but I didnt know at the time)

Anyways everthing went on well and i got a pass in odin but tablet restarted it was stuck at the startup Samsung Logo..... I tired to restart it but I still got the same problem... it just wont go further... i went to download mode again and tried reinstalling it but still got the same problem... I saw on the net that installing firmware from kies might solve the problem but it is not connecting to kies even though the PC detects it....

I dont know what to do... PLEASE HELP!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razvan:
Sir,

Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

Stand by

Good luck

I own a OnePlus One with the Bamboo back and as most people already know, it's actually quite thicker than the normal sandstone black and silk white backs and also a bit heavier. Because of this, most cases won't fit. I already tried putting on a naked clear case but my phone was too thick. Hopefully others with the Bamboo back could post here what cases would fit so we can put together a sort of list of confirmed cases that fit the Bamboo OPO.
[ONE Accessories] nicholaschum:
I was debating to open a thread for this too, but here, I have these cases:

6x Aluminium Bumper Case (no SIM slot)

4x Ringke Fusion Case

2x Orzly Fusion "Bumper" Case

1x TUDIA Slim Fit Dual-Layer Cygen

1x TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper

1x Diablo Jkase Rugged Case

Aluminium Bumper Case: I wouldn't use these because I don't want to damage the plastic on the side of the phone, as well as get my bamboo scratched. But it does fit, screws require a bit more pressure for locking in, which brings me to my original point, I don't want to damage the orange-ish plastic.

Ringke Fusion Case: I'm using this on my Daily Driver OnePlus One (Bamboo) atm, as well as my developer OnePlus One (sandstone) - I love these cases, it feels so high quality and fits around the device well. As you can see, I have 4 because two of them were the first batch which were quite loose.

Orzly Fusion "Bumper" Case: Rubbish. It doesn't shape around the edges of the phone and the lips of the "lay-on-the-table" design is so loose, I'd toss these out if I were you.

TUDIA Slim Fit Dual-Layer Cygen: Fits, but as usual the flaws are that the hard plastic does not align properly with the TPU is more obvious than on the Sandstone. Bad first batch, but not for everyone - as the manufacturing line is different.

TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper: I have the clear version to show off the back. It looks good, and fits very well. As usual, clear displays the bamboo design quite well.

Diablo Jkase Rugged Case: It was a rather "loose" case to begin with, so it fits well with the bamboo styleswap/bamboo device. However, why would you buy a case to cover your bamboo anyways? :D
[ONE Accessories] kylethelife:
Wow! That's solid helpful. The one I wanted to get but didn't fit when I tried it on was the Bepak Slim Transparent Case so stay away from that if you've got the bamboo. I really wanted a clear case coz I didn't want to cover the Bamboo but after trying the Bepak case I didn't think any slimfit clear case would fit. Glad to hear the Ringke Fusion Case fits! Do you have the clear one? I think I might just order one.
[ONE Accessories] TheMurphmeister:
Sorry, can I just confirm, is the Aluminium Case you mention first the one by kwmobile/KW-Commerce? And, if it is, you say you wouldn't choose it because of potential scratching, but do you think it's still a good case in that it protects the screen from being damaged?
[ONE Accessories] nicholaschum:
Yeah because that case is actually already very snug on the sandstone version of the OnePlus, with the added thickness at the back, it will scrape along the plastic and the bamboo (I had a lot of experience with aluminium bumpers with added thickness battery covers (Note 3 + Al bumper + Al battery cover) and the battery cover was scratches so much). It will protect your screen somehow (I did drop my sandstone OPO with a tempered glass on solid concrete and it was perfectly fine)
[ONE Accessories] TheMurphmeister:
Thanks for the information; think I'll give that one a miss then and go for the Tudia Ultra Slim instead :)
[ONE Accessories] Sagar4995:
strongly disagree. I'd recommend Orzly Fusion bumper case. The fit is perfect, not too tight. Fits perfectly round the edges and definitely not loose on the 'lay-on-the-table' part. I also own Ringke & Diztronic.

Im pretty sure u got a bad batch of the Orzly, or maybe an early batch...
[ONE Accessories] nicholaschum:
I would not, my two cases I ordered one month apart are exactly what KP Smith said in a comment here:

Thank you for doing this review. Your post makes me want to try the TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper.

Saw this review on it.

[ONE Accessories] VenomousSVT:
my diztronic tpu slim cases fit pretty good as well. you put them on like you would with the regular back then just run your fingers around the edges and it falls right into place. I have 4 different colors from different batches and all fit fine. I also have the ringke fusion.. its actually on my phone right now. Its got the clear back and tinted sides. Fits 99.9% perfectly! Its my go to case for sure.

HI All,

If any one has tried this ROM..can you post exact rom utilization ?
[Xolo Q3000] smokerman:
partitions are changed in this rom avi? i see different values..or just appear different with 4 gb for apps and still 9gb for video, music etc??

in this rom seems reversed..or its not?
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
No sir,

Please see the screenshot

i am using 16gb sd card which is shown correctly.

U r correct sir 4gb for apps and 9gb internal storage (remaining 3gb used by system).
[Xolo Q3000] smokerman:
BUGS:

[*] ONLY english for european users!!

[*]themes doesnt work

[*]panorama in camera doesnt work

[*]icons on launcher are big and small..not at the same size..music is huge and camera is small..(icons with different resolution/size)

GOOD:

great UI

video app super nice

sound is loud and clear (it seems better for sure)

althoug inbuilt EQ doesnt do anything.

camera interface and records video in MP4 instead of 3gp.

guest mode..no one can see your personal files..NICE.

video review later after some more tests.:good:

[Xolo Q3000] Jagadish-ravi:
Nice work bro, amigo ui is nice but bit laggy

Camera, video player and music are nice to use, music equiliser r awesome, but not all features in camera works.

Themes didn't work.

Screen lock and unlock is faster than any other ROM

Battery backup is very poor I just got 10 hrs of use with 3g browsing

Game r laggy.

I didn't like the pulldown notification emerging from bottom.

Good Launcher but lags, icons with different size is kinda disturbing.

I cudnt install all my apps, (80apps) it made phone hang a bit.

Over all a nice ROM to try for normal use, but can't use it as a stable one.
[Xolo Q3000] Aftab Memon:
Smashing work sir ji.. Love the gui.. Though a bit laggy.. Superb camera and camera quality.. And super like to the caller screen... Amazing battery backup.. I'll give nore reviews after exploring

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sjbale:
Hi,

As I'm a curious electronics engineer type, I have a few questions regarding the IPL, SPL and CE kernel.

1. Am I correct in thinking that the IPL simply loads the SPL into RAM and starts executing it?

2. Is the SPL providing the low level flashing interface and the setup code necessary to load the kernel into RAM? Does it provide any low level interfaces for the CE kernel?

3. I note that the OS portion of my flash has three partitions, what are the first two small ones for?

I've had a search on the net and I can't find many detailed answers to these questions so I thought I'd ask them here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tadzio:
The first two contain the OS core in XIP format (although they still need to be copied to RAM before execution). One is the kernel for normal operation, the other is used when Windows Update flashes the ROM (it'll not overwrite anything, just add to the existing data). They can be dumped from a ROM upgrade file and edited with RomMaster and dumprom.

The third partition is an IMGFS file system. It contains all the other files needed to make your device work. It can be dumped from a ROM upgrade file and edited with the Imgfs Tools.

There is actually a forth partition in the partition table - the Storage area. This is a FAT partition. It is only in the partition table, but there is no additional data in the ROM packages. During a hard boot, the OS will format that partition.

Cheers

Daniel
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sjbale:
Thanks for the reply. I didn't think that the CE kernel was loaded during the flashing process, I thought the SPL provided the flash interface?

Out of curiosity if am I correct in thinking that the only way to brick the device is to damage the IPL/SPL or bugger up the radio ROM so that the SPL can't return a CID. If the actual OS portion of the flash contains bad blocks will this still prevent future flashing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Not "only", it initializes the hardware (processor, sdram, etc...), setups the physical to virtual mapping table, reads SPL from NAND puts it into RAM and jumps into its address.

If you want it more in depth, disassemble the IPL.nb file with IDA Pro. Code entry point at 0x0000000. And consult the SC32442A processor manual while following its flow.

Yes.

Again, IDA Pro is your friend ;) In hermes the SPL expects to be executed from virtual address 0x8c080000 which is physical 0x30080000.

Yes, you are correct. It is also possible that NAND blocks are marked as bad when incorrectly flashing service byte 517th, read more on Des comment here.

Depending on how many bad blocks. I've seen a hermes die completely during the 2nd flash on a NAND with a lot of marked bad blocks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sjbale:
Okay, I think I understand. So once the 517th byte of a flash block it set to non 0xFF it's permanent and can't be restored? The next flash won't be able to write to that block? Hmmh, dangerous!

Now all I need to do is find the £300+ quid for an IDA pro license. I'd better get back to what I'm supposed to be doing, time to put my RF hat back on :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Yes, that's right. We haven't found a method to restore yet, but sure it is possible to do it because the marked bad blocks are not real bad blocks.... probably the way to go is patching a SPL which will never flash service data bytes from data taken of a file. Des and Olipro know more on this matter, you should ask them if you really want to get involved on some development

BTW, you can use the IDA Demo version available for free download if you don't want to spend the money just for disassembling IPL & SPL.

And there are other free alternatives, I sometimes use radare which is very helpful too, but you should have a *nix system.

I want to hear from people that have T-mobile in southern california or had within the past year... I currently have AT&T and Verizon is out of the question cuz the max price difference is 10 bucks.

Hows the reception now?

Do they still drop texts?

Everything I heard about them is about 2+ years old now, since my unlimited gets throttled and I get spammed with texts and warnings I don't see why I'm paying a premium (that was why I kept them). I use TONS of hangout texts voip and maps/directions.

I currently have a romed out S4 AT&T MDL which I carrier unlocked and aws unlocked that I would like to keep for now.

I'm looking for real feedback with signal and coverage (we all know the maps are BS lol).

I searched and found 2012 threads but it's 2015 now lol
[General Topics] Planterz:
I'm not in Southern CA, but I can give you some info. T-Mobile finally rolled out their LTE in 2013. Before then, they pretty much sucked. Good plans, but slow speeds and spotty coverage. The speeds now are the fastest (overall) in the country, and their coverage is much better. If you're in a city, coverage is great, but in rural areas, or between cities, coverage can be an issue.

PCMag.com rated T-Mobile very highly in LA and San Diego.

All maps aren't BS, at least the ones that aren't crowd-sourced. Sensorly.com is great for specific area coverage Opensignal.com is similar.
[General Topics] BehrendsTech:
Thanks for the info
[Networking] SmokeyTech1:
Before anyone says "this has been discussed before" yes it has, but this is the ONLY method that's worked for me, so therefore it may also work for you when others have not.

My carrier is Telcel (Mexico) Its prepaid that I haven't paid for since using the VPN, as it allows me to have free internet, and this method allows me to share it with all my devices, I've used 30GB of data in 2 weeks.

Disclaimer: not responsible for your device in anyway, even though this should not harm anything

STEP 1: You need a rooted device

STEP 2: Make sure you have a VPN app, like OpenVPN or DroidVPN ( I use DroidVPN and its the best)

STEP 3: Download Terminal Emulator

STEP 4: Activate your hotspot and connect to your VPN

STEP 5: launch Terminal emulator and on the first line type "su" (without the quotes) and press enter

STEP 6: Copy and paste this to the Terminal Emulator, MAKE SURE TO PASTE TO A NEW FOLDER USING ROOT BROWSER FIRST, AND COPY TO T.E. IN THE EXACT FORMAT AS SHOWN

iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
ip rule add from 192.168.43.0/24 lookup 61
ip route add default dev tun0 scope link table 61
ip route add 192.168.43.0/24 dev wlan0 scope link table 61
ip route add broadcast 255.255.255.255 dev wlan0 scope link table 61

STEP 7: That's about it :D

Also be sure to make a folder with Root Browser and paste the code there, as this resets after re-boot.

Please comment if this worked for you, it worked on my LG G3 on android 4.4.2

FWIW this will be different on different carriers, different devices, and different VPN(Juno's pulse for example). Good info none the less :good:
[Networking] SmokeyTech1:
This should darn near be universal, as this was code I found was just a copy and paste of the original, don't need to change anything, it should also work with all VPNs, can't confirm though, I've only used this on my AT&T LG G3, I will try on my HTC One

Also the "IP table" part of the code can be found in a few places, the special part of the code is "ip rule" and "ip route"
[Networking] miked63017:
The iptables should be, but the routing, rules, and lookup tables could vary. Also some carriers you would need extra iptables commands and route commands to work with their tethering data cap security measures.

Like I said its useful knowledge but in some cases may need a little extra massaging to fully work.
[Networking] sowers17:

Your dataplan os different from the OP's. All our data is counted while only tethered activity is counted for the OP.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

What these commands are doing: They are NAT'ing all traffic through the VPN in stead of only the networks the vpn service advertises and because it's encrypted on the tethering phone; the phone company has to assume the traffic originates from the tethering phone. Those who have a data limited plan (as opposed to unlimted except certain usage) won't gain from this because all data that goes through the air is counted.
