Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 normally ship with a Simple Book Cover included?

Just received my new 10.5 or almost got it. The USPS delivered it today and I opened the shipping box only to find out that the Tab S box had been tampered with! One corner has a seal that says, "DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN." Well, how am I supposed to not accept this item if the carrier has already left. Anyway, the box has definitely been opened so I wasn't going to go any further until I notified the vendor. I had to email the vendor since they weren't open on Saturday.

Just of of curiosity, I did open the box further and noticed that the tablet had been re-wrapped in a bag about twice its size. Also, under the tablet separated by a cardboard piece was a Simple Book Cover. Looking further, I noticed the power plug appears to have been used as well as the power cord. There was also no literature of any kind.

Learned a lesson. I usually buy from Amazon or Best Buy. I didn't this time, but I will in the future. They at least have a decent customer service always available.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] KneeDragr:
Who did you purchase from? If it was an eBay seller they are frequently open box items.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Guardsix:
Actually ordered this ordered through Newegg but they apparently farmed it out to some vendor who I shall not name until he has a chance to fix this problem.

This box and the tablet has definitely been messed with so I'm not messing with it until I know it's not a refurbished or used unit. It's also missing some literatures. I can't properly resell it at a later date with stuff missing.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] :
[MENTION=2857431]Guardsix[/MENTION] it's doesn't come with any cases/ covers whatsoever. Did you check to make sure the tablet itself didn't have any issues, physical or otherwise?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Guardsix:
Look at the corner of the first pic. It clearly shows a insert of the Simple Book Cover. It says, "Simple Book Cover Included".

No, I haven't messed with the tablet itself. It's not even wrapped correctly. Most of these things come in a plastic warp with the opening on the back. You lift up the opening and then slide out the tablet. On this one, the seal is on the front and it's definitely been open at least once. I'm not touching the tablet until the vendor says he's sending me a new one.

Here's some pics in the attachments.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
the 1 i bought from costco came with a simple cover and the box looks just like yours.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] :
My box didn't have that on it, so maybe it was a special promotion at a specific store.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] ashyx:
Blimey, mine came from Hong Kong and arrived in much better condition than that.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Guardsix:
Got this one sent back today. Hope the vender send me one back in a lot better shape and with the Simple Book Cover.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Many times some listing may say "damaged box" or "damaged packaging", at which rate you are buying "as is."

Was/is there a return policy?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Guardsix:
The thing about the return policy is that this was purchased through Newgg but they farmed it out to a place called "Eectronic Deals". That apparently is one of their "Marketplace" vendors. Still, Newegg's policy is supposed to be the fallback if the marketplace vendor doesn't honor any part of the sale.

I looked up this "Electronic Deals" and can't find any web site or any information about them at all. I have an address in Brooklyn, NY, but that's it. I'm assuming they are reputable. They have sent me information on how to return this item at their expense. I've asked for an exchange because I really want this package with the Simple Book Cover included.

So, now I'm just waiting for them to acknowledge the return and then send me out a replacement. We'll see how long that takes.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] wosiek:
It's important to note that there is a difference between the Simple Cover and the Book Cover.

The Simple Cover is designed to protect the tablet's screen, and snaps securely to the back of the device. Reference Samsung part EF-DT800BSEGUJ (10.5", Titanium Bronze). Link - Samsung Website

The Book Cover is designed to protect both the screen and back of the tablet; it also snaps securely to the back of the device. The Book Cover converts into a stand, allowing for multiple viewing/usability angles. Reference Samsung part EF-BT800BSEGUJ (10.5", Titanium Bronze). Link - Samsung Website
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Guardsix:
Uh, if I'm paying $450+ for a tablet, I would certainly know the difference between these two covers! What was/ is your point?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] wosiek:
My "point" is that you keep referring to it as as a "Simple Book Cover"; either you got the Simple Cover, or you got the Book Cover. They are two completely different products.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Guardsix:
Ok, I got it now. My bad. Simple Cover it is! Thanks for clarifying. I finally got it through my thick skull.

The rest of my story. I returned the package to Electronic Deals asking for a replacement in a sealed box. I was notified by Newegg that I would get a refund. Electronic Deals had no intention of giving me a new, unmolested tablet because they don't most likely don't have any and never did.

After reading a ton of Newegg reviews about this company, Electronic Deals, they have a less than zero rating! Very few people got what they ordered from them and others have had terrible trouble getting anything back from them. I talked with a Newegg Customer Service Rep. and told her about the trouble I had and asked if they ever read any feedback about their third party vendors. She just kind of said, "We're not responsible for third party vendors." So I asked her why they have farmed my order out to a third party without even telling me in first place. She then said, "That's how our Marketplace service works."

Well, it doesn't work. So, if you buy something from Newegg, don't let them send you to a "Marketplace" vendor or you might never get anything.

I was upgrading to the latest version of LVSW when my computer crashed - it's froze at about 54%. I am using SPL (Bootloader) version 1.30.Olipro (HardSPL v4) and now my TYTN only shows the bootloader HERM200 - SPL-1.30.Olipro.

What should I do? Please help.

Paperweight comments are not welcomed :-)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 2007skc:
Jean,

Depending on how bad your situation is, this could involve some work. But at any cost, it would behoove you to actually read the wiki.

Just in case you have completely bricked your device, here is a link that should help you figure things out.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick

The wiki has help for all sorts of situations.

Just another comment though, it is really interesting that you said "Paperweight comments are not welcomed :-)". But if you do something and dont read the wiki to find answers for yourself (or at least appear to with the kind of posting you did), you will open yourself to comments like that or worse no comments at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jvence:
More information

Here's more information:

1- only the bootloader appears

2- it cannot connect to activesync (so not sure how I can flash anything else as specified in the WIKI: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick)

3- I do not see any "No GSM" message

I am reading the WIKI and I'm a bit confused. I think since I'm using SPL-1.30.Olipro, I can Flash any NBH containing only OS and restore my OS. I'm able to access my device with mtty.exe - I extracted the latest .nbh from LVSW

Putting the LVSW nbh on a blank microSD card and naming it HERMIMG.nbh and restarting the system, did not do anything. I still see the bootloader. Should I use mtty.exe to try to re-install the latest ROM?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Jean
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dluisao:
with this metod select your rom and rename HERMIMG.nbh format your micro sd and put the file.

boot your hermes in boot loader with power(left)+ok(right)+soft reset the flash run.

if don't work please hard reset to try.

and if don't work too, download platform builder ce5 to boot your hermes and follow this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=286755&page=39

work only if you KITL ENABLE (power+commanger+soft reset)

IF put KITL SELECT TRANSPORT it's ok if no , hard reset your hermes.

pb ce5 can do between 2go at 4go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
You really need to post this in the relevant thread sir, alot of people keep an eye on the thread and will offer the appropriate help. DONT DO ANYTHING if you need to ask if it will work, first read through the thread, post as instructed in the beginning of it and you will be guided through the unbricking process. I realise this isnt much help but if you do as i suggest you will learn from it aswell ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jvence:
Resolved

Ok thanks for the info. I managed to fix it using the method described in my previous post. I needed to format the MicroSD before placing HERMIMG.nbh on it and it worked flawlessly. Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dluisao:
yes try format your micro sd card if not try this method with pb ce5.0 +kitl

I am rooted to any tips are appreciated a lot!!!

Hi K_TECH,

some time ago i used, tested MoKee ported by [MENTION=5126789]zxc123coke[/MENTION] and i was satisfied with this ROM. The later builds, which contained the whole baidu stuff due to OTA support afair, were not used anymore by me.

But now i have flashed your build on one of my testphones and i discovered my old enthusiasm for this ROM - A colleague of mine uses the SGS+ as a daily driver and i'm thinking of flashing this ROM to his phone therefore i test it now a little more - if i find some problems i will surely report - I hope you find the time to update the ROM regularly :)

Keep on your good work

Auto screen on

Sometime, the phone will auto screen on and auto unlock. Is it a bug or I trigger something in the setting and cause it like that? But this is a good rom. I tried a lot of rom and im still feel that Mokee is the best!

Look in Settings if you have check button 'Home unlock'. Uncheck it.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Just fyi the newest K^Kernel seems to be not compatible with this ROM - i encountered different fc,'s after installing the newest K^Kernel - I think there are a few adjustments during the compiling process necessary, but that is just an assumption.

[MENTION=4913649]Aylwinchai[/MENTION]: This seems to be a problem of the so called Phantom key presses. there is a filter implemented within the K^Kernel that provides not desired home button presses.

Ask yourself which version you have installed gapps for KitKat. :confused:

How you do not know something, first look. XDA is not a hot-line.

Hi folx,

back to the roots i flashed this ROM on my old toy.... and i had to struggle with the keyboard - keeping forceclosing.... therefoe i injected the latinIME.apk from CM 11 from ADC-Team into the original zip and flashed it again. With this little workaround i got it working and now i try to adjust it a little concerning battery consumption.... Seems to work now..

As it work as supposed the next days i will give it to a friend ...

Is there any newer build based on MK44.4 than the one above ? i think not but maybe someone has a hint .... on the official side there is no build available for the I9001. Higher than kitkat is too hard for that old phone so i would like to keep kitkat..

tHX for all tips and for this build

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Hi [MENTION=5057128]dandrake47[/MENTION],

i assume that you haven't changed your recovery and with that the data partition because Ehondrix can't handle the new partition design. But for more information and howto cope with this problems have a look at this post of our thread ...

BTW: i set up MoKee without Gapps - so this phone should be googlefree now :D For succeeding please refer to F-Droid

I wish you success :good:

Cheers

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dandrake47:
I tried it out, but the got the "Error executing binary updater" problem. :(

I updated the recovery to 2.6.3.0 as well. Not sure how to fix it now.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
If you want to flash the newest MoKee from this thread you need not the newest TWRP but the one from adc-team providing the new partition design. Take it from here. And be sure that the ROM you want to flash is compiled for the new partition design ! If not you have to use an older TWRP- Please refer to ADC-TEAM TWRP releases.

I hope this will help you to get rid of your bugs... ;)

Cheers

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dandrake47:

I just got a m8 , Verizon obviously. And am having trouble figuring out how to root and install recovery. I'm not a noob, but I've been out of the loop for awhile. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm attaching a picture of my firmware settings. Thanks guys!! View attachment 3108635
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I was about to tell you to go read the stickies but I don't know that they've been updated for our situation with 4.4.4.

The first way to root 4.4.4 is through weaksauce 2. That will get you what many call a "temp root" which re-roots each time upon boot and therefore has some limitations. To get "full root" you need to run sunshine which both unlocks your bootloader and turns s-off. It wasn't made to run on 4.4.4 but many people have reported it working alongside weaksauce 2. One you unlock, you can install a custom recovery and flash superSU.

Your first step is to read read read and make sure you still remember how to deal with the issues your about to open yourself up to. I know you said you're not new at this. Then you should read the weaksauce2 thread and probably the sunshine thread. Best of luck.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Enzopreme:
And to install recovery? Does it have to be done manually, or can I use goo manager or Rom manager
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
The best and safest way is to flash recovery in fastboot. It's also very important to have fastboot working for troubleshooting. I would never flash a recovery any other way than fastboot, but it does work with TWRP Manager or Flashify.

Just make 100% sure those apps identify your phone correctly!!! Otherwise they could flash the recovery to the wrong partition and then you would be in deep doodoo for sure. ESPECIALLY if you did not set up fastboot/adb...

Get it working and use it. It'll save your bacon sooner or later.

GooManager, ROM Manager are outdated. Don't use them.

Edit: Use this version of fastboot/adb for the HTC M8: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001612150

Do I run resistive, then I run sunshine on top of weaksauce? I can't seem to update my su binary when rooted by weaksauce...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I just looked in the weaksauce 2.0 thread and the OP tells you that it has been baked into recent versions of sunshine. My guess is that you just need to download sunshine from the "theroot.ninja" website and see if it tells you that it'll work. If so then pay for it and be done.

I'd you're having further troubles you should go to their support section on their website and I bet they'll get you straightened out.
