[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrod862:
Hey Guys,

I recently bought a Micro to USB OTG cable but unfortunately can't get it to work on my new S Tab(10.5).

I am able to get it to work on my Galaxy S3 phone and old Nexus 7 tab so it appears that the cable works fine. My S Tab is not rooted and currently does have the latest updates. I also ran the OTG checker which verifies that my tablet has the necessary files. When I run the OTG troubleshooter tho it does not appear to be picking up my cable at all.

I originally bought this to use my wired 360 controller on my tablet, the 360 controller and flash memory sticks are the only things I have tested on the cable itself. Like I said above, my S3 and Nexus 7 picks up these 2 devices just fine through the cable.

Anything that I am missing? Any tips/quirks to get this to work?

Thanks so much for your time/help!

P.S. attempted to post link to my exact cable but couldn't because I am a new member.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Are you willing to have device root and flash a custom kernel?

If yes, then my SkyHigh kernel does support OTG and has in-built XPAD (XBOX) controller module and confirmed working by another user. Some games may require you to map the controller with a certain app, some without.

FS support is dependent on kernel. If you are trying to mount NTFS r/w, then you will need to also install Paragon app or navigate to /mnt/ntfs/.... for kernel NTFS r/o
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drezman:
It's possible that it could be your cable. I had problems a couple years ago with an otg cable not working on my Note 2 but working in a couple older devices. It turns out it was because the micro usb end that plugs into the phone was too short to plug in all the way. I'm not sure if it's a new standard or something, but my Note 2, Note 8, S5 and Tab S all seem to have a cable with a longer micro usb tip than any of my previous devices have.

Hold the otg cable next to the charge cable that came with your Tab S and see if the tip of the otg cable is a couple of millimetres shorter. Also plug the charge cable into the tab and notice the way it kind of "clicks" into place when you push it in the last little bit. Now plug in the otg cable and see if it has the same "click" feel. If not, then I'd bet it's your cable. I have an otg cable that specifically states that it's for an S5 and it works perfectly on all the devices mentioned above. I also have a generic otg cable that works on my old galaxy nexus but doesn't work on any of the above devices.

Here's the old thread in case that helps:

Thanks for the reply's.

I don't really want to go down the Root road because I have never gone through that process and don't feel comfortable with it at this time.

The cable Micro pin portion definitely doesn't fit as snug as the S Tab charger. The OTG cable actually appears to be longer than my S Tab charger Mirco pin. When plugged in you can tell it sticks out a smidge....The thing with that though, it does the same exact thing on my other 2 devices that work with the cable.

Guess it could be the cable, just hate to send this back and order another and be in the same boat.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Cable or no cable, if you wish XPAD controller, then you'll need the kernel or loadable kernel compiled module. Other features (some I described) also require kernel. ... all requiring root.

Since you've ruled that out, you just need to forget many features that are available with some other devices and move on.

Best of luck.

IMP Node: As mentioned by Kiran Anto here this kernel has latest camera driver which is not suitable for Stock OS. So be carefull, if you are on Stock ROM.

Please don't just leech the files and go away. You can easily say thanks just by pressing "Thanks" button.

Download:

boot.img - 6.07 MB

boot.img - 6.07 MB Kernel with added Conservative Governor. Tested only with Carbon ROM on Yureka.

How to update:

Download above boot.img file.

Go to downloaded file location.

Then flash your kernel (boot.img) using following command.

sudo fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash boot boot.img

If unable to flash then make sure bootloder of your yureka is unlocked.

Is this kernel compatible to flash with stock cyanogen? or need unofficial cm build? pls confirm
[YU Yureka Android Development] dumtara:
I have not tested on Stock OS. Working fine with CM build http://xdaforums.com/yureka/development/cm-11-0-cyanogenmod-rom-t3021713

I need any tester to test it on Stock OS.

Since Stock OS has kernel source forked from cyanogenmod kernel source,

i think it will work on stock OS too.

Do remember currently stock branch is 10 commits behind CyanogenMod:cm-11.0 as far as android_kernel_yu_msm8916 is concerned.
[YU Yureka Android Development] Kiran Anto:
Camera is not supported in this kernel... Please rectify it....
[YU Yureka Android Development] dumtara:
Camera working fine in CM build ROM. Tested front and back camera with and without flash.

Even in low light good snap.

Which ROM you in, is it stock rom.
[YU Yureka Android Development] Kiran Anto:
I'm using stock cm11... With update.. I tried launching cyanogen camera.. Then Google can... Then retrica.. None of them worked...
[YU Yureka Android Development] dumtara:
flash the stock kernel and check.

current cyanogenmod kernel has latest commits for camera, which is not incorporated in stock rom.

May be next build of stock ROM will solve it.
[YU Yureka Android Development] Kiran Anto:
In stock its working fine....... I think its because they removed drivers.....dunno... Not suitable for stock ROM anyways...
[YU Yureka Android Development] dumtara:
yes... they have removed the old driver & added new one. That may be the reason.
[YU Yureka Android Development] y2ksnoop:
Camera not working in the stock rom... Will flash it with your CM build and update in this thread..

Update:- The kernel is working fine with your CM build and there isn't any fc in the camera app.

And in the stock rom I was experiencing random reboots every now and then but in your build the random reboots are too less..

Obviously camera wont work if you flash this kernel on stock CM11 cause [MENTION=6107824]dumtara[/MENTION] uses latest kernel commits with support for IMX214 sensor and IMX135 sensor support is removed and stock shipping cm11 uses old old commits ie old camera libs IMX135

So first, I tried Towel Root. It did not work.

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783536)

Second, I went to this forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2790542

Unfortunately, the link for the "The Unofficial TWRP recovery image" isn't working, so I'm out of luck.

Third, I didn't want to do this, but I said, "screw this!" and got some one click rooting apps for windows. It didn't work.

So if anyone has "The Unofficial TWRP recovery image", please take time to get the file and upload it somewhere.

If anyone knows some other way to root this phone, that would be great.

Well I hope someone answers because I really want to root my phone... :crying:

Flashing stock recovery back on your phone is the exact same process you took to flash a 3rd party recovery onto your phone, only using the stock Recovery.IMG file.

If you need instructions... then...

Link in my Signature has this info -> How To Return To stock Use option 2. If all you want is stock recovery, you can just do the mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img line and skip the rest if that is all you need.

OR....

If you are rooted and you can obtain the correct recovery.img and copy it to your phone, you can flash via your phone (without setting up Fastboot,etc on your PC) by following -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/ref-return-to-stock-recovery-rooted-t3027079 (this does have info on obtaining the stock recovery for your phone via your PC, you'll just need to copy the IMG file to the phone before you proceed.)
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] zero12two:
In my lifetime of Sony devices this is a first of its kind. That is every available rooting method FAILS. The phone is brand new so if cannot achieve root I am returning and will search for a d5302. Is there a working root method for this specific phone??
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] Adapt0r:
It seems to be the case. I've failed to root D5216 as well. Someone reported success but I could not reproduce it.

I've left rooting until official Lolipop arrive. Then rooting effort will be renewed and hopefully it will work.

Overall it is a phone with a good size screen and excellent battery life.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 93starletgt:
Hi there. A friend of mine gave me a bricked L900 stuck in the black "Galaxy Note II" screen. The first thing I did was to enter stock recovery, but a bunch of red error messages appeared (as pictured). Wiping data/factory reset didn't do anything. Entered Download mode without a problem and then tried to flash every single Odin firmware for the L900 found on the whole internet, but no matter what I flash, Odin ALWAYS fails. Also noticed that after an unsuccessful flash, still in download mode you can read in red: "sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2". Also, it is not recognized by Kies.

The previous owner said the phone bricked while receiving an OTA update. I have spent a whole week trying to fix this thing! I decided to ask for some help here before smashing it with a hammer.

Any help is much appreciated! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I have something that should fix you right up. I have to find the file so it may take a while to get back to you. I am headed to bed now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 93starletgt:
I forgot to mention I already tried flashing a file named "fix.tar" that I found in one of these L900 unbrick threads, but sadly it didn't work (Failed to flash, like anything else). I hope you have different file. Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:

Have you tried using heimdall to flash? It is an odin link software that can be used on window, mac, and Linux.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 93starletgt:
Trying now. I have downloaded Heimdall Suite 1.4. After installing the included drivers and opening the program, I'm not sure what to do. When I go to "load package" I am unable to pick any of the firmwares I have downloaded. They are not displayed in the window that opens to pick the file (and I am in the right folder). Heimdall is new territory for me! Any suggestion?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You will need to extract the files and use the flash tab. Don't remember if a pit files is included in the tar.md5 package (fyi you might have to remove the .md5 to extract the files) bit if you need one let me know.

On the flash tab select your pit file then add a partition, then select the corresponding file. You will need to do this for every partition you want to flash. Once setup click on the start button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 93starletgt:
Thank you. I have extracted the files but Heimdall doesn't recognize them. It doesn't recognize any .tar or .md5 file. I am very familiar with file extensions, extracting, flashing software, etc... but this is the first time using Heimdall and I am very frustrated because I can't make it work. Any suggestion? Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
You give up on this yet domenicostorino? Looks like according to your images, you just need to odin with an included pit file. Lemme know, I have a pit that works for this device, had to fix one last week. Your images are showing no such directory, so that should fix you.

Edit: Grab the pit from here Use it with stock tar and flash via odin. That is the one I grabbed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 93starletgt:
Hey! My Note has been collecting dust on the corner of my desk but I haven't given up on it yet! I would really apprecite if you can share that pit file and some steps. So far, EVERYTHING I've flashed with Odin just fails. Maybe that pit file is all I'm missing! Please help me bring that phone back to life!! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Just grab that pit file I edited with, select it in the pit section of odin, it should check mark the repartion as well. At the same time grab the stock firmware tar. You are going to be doing everything just like you have been, just using a pit file and repartitioning at the same time. Good luck, just holler, I will be around most of today. I used this firmware with that pit. Firmware

If it doesn't boot, don't worry, enter recovery and see if it fixed the can not mount, I don't know which baseband you currenlty have, so that could keep it from booting. If that happens and mounts are fixed, then just grab the last firmware and flash it without the pit file. Here is the latest FIRMWARE.

Remember you flashing tar files, all three of them need to be extracted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 93starletgt:
Thank you. I did everything exactly as you said but the pit file didn't do the trick. It failed right away again. Of couse when I enter recovery the same can't mount messages in red appear again. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Assuming you extracted the t0lte.zip to read t0lte.pit and placed in pit section of Odin with repartition checked, and extracted the rom to a .tar and place in the AP section then hit start. Should have worked or did for me anyway. Have you tried different usb cable as well as a different port on pc? <that can cause odin to fail. Also which Odin version are you using? I use 3.09 Odin. Wife's phone went on the blink last week because of a battery failure, nothing would mount after replacing battery. What I described is all I did, she is back up and running with latest stock and rooted now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
After looking at this again, according to the images on first post, you have the latest stock build NE2. I extracted the pit file from the wife's phone and compared to the other. They are the same. At this point I would just try one more time with the pit and the latest stock firmware. If that doesn't work then maybe it is just a bad eMMC.

Here is the extracted pit from wife's phone if you want to try it. View attachment 3181706
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 93starletgt:
I did try again many times using the pit file and latest NE2 firmware. I guess the eMMC is faulty. Thanks for your help anyway!
