[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher5235:
Alright, I'll lay out what happened. My end goal is to just have a rooted tab, but at this point, I'd be willing to just have it back to how it was. Preferably without losing everything on it.

-Looked around on how to root it, and found the following, and use the files it suggested.

- Seemed easy enough, and I had rooted/installed android on my old HP Touchpad, so I dl'd the files, and gave it a shot.

- Couldn't get CWM recovery on it, so I ran verify root and it said it wasn't rooted, even though I has SuperSU. It would even ask to grant apps permission, and I'd grant it.

- I opened SuperSU, and it'd say it needed to update the binaries, but would fail on normal, so I dl'd the newest zip, booted into recovery, and tried to load it like that, but 2 lines would come up red. I think they were just verifying signatures, so I ignored it and let it reboot.

- I opened SuperSU again, and it still said it needed the binaries updated, failed on normal attempt. I decided to try again from scratch, unrooting it and all. So, I went into the SuperSU settings and did it's thing, but it still had the version of SuperSU that initially was on it (it wouldn't let me past the "update binaries" prompt).

- I found that I needed to use Odin to flash a stock firmware back on it, and dl'd both version here.

- I tried the first one, and then it wouldn't get past the "Samsung" screen (the 2nd one with just the word Samsung, if it matters).

- I can still boot into Odin and Recovery, thankfully, so I tried the 2nd stock firmware. Same issue.

- Finally, I tried the rooting process again, hoping to get it to boot, same thing. So, I tried the 2nd stock firmware again, praying something good would happen, and still stuck on the Samsung screen.

I can still boot into Odin and recovery, but I have no idea where to go from here. I still want it rooted if possible, and I'd prefer not to lose all my games and such. I just found "[ROOT][RECOVERY] [ALL IN ONE] Cf-Autoroot-twrp-T800-T805-T-700-T705" thread here, but I didn't want to try it just yet.

It's a SM-T800. I had Lollipop on it. Don't know much else to add, but please help!

Thanks all.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Well... you said you just updated to lollipop, but in order to not stay stuck at splash screen, you have to factory reset. I saw that you don't want to lose your games and such so you probably only have one option. That option is to flash twrp and make a nandroid of your data. Simply boot into download mode, download the twrp .tar http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytabs105.html

And now go into Odin, untick autoreboot, now hit the pda/AP button and pick the twrp tar. Hit start and let it do its thing. Now after its done flashing, your gonna have to force reboot. Simply hold power+volume up and down+home button all at the same time. Wait a bit and when the screen turns black, quickly press power+volume up+ home buttons all at the same time and it should boot into twrp.

Now in twrp, hit backup and hit backup data. Hopefully that should save your apps installed. Now after its done, go into wipe and silde factory reset. It should remove installed apps from Google play store and it won't remove pictures and such. It just removes the apps you installed. Then now reboot and wait....

Hopefully this helped

As said you will have to factory reset, this will wipe data and cache.

You can use the link you posted above to install TWRP and root.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-twrp-t800-t3079488

Lollipop changes the data partition so even if you back it up and then restore it with twrp In kitkat it likely won't boot afterwards.

All you can do is wipe it and take the hit.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher5235:
Alright, I have TWRP running. The size of my "data" is just over 16 gig, and my space on the sdcard is 14.9 gig, so I've been trying to delete data to knock it down. I still have 1.3 gig to go. Everything I'm deleting, in the data folder, is barely making an impact.

I see what you're saying that I probably won't be able to restore it and have it work, but I still will try. I can always factory reset it again later. Once I wipe it, though, and update back to lollipop, couldn't I restore that data backup?

I gotta take a break and knock out some real work, lol, then I'll continue, and update here. If nothing else, maybe it'll help some other poor soul like me in the future!

Once I have it booting all the way again, do I just use TWRP to install SuperSU and it's rooted? Thanks again. I appreciate it!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Not sure what youre trying to do here. Just wipe the data partition with twrp,
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher5235:
Ashyx, I was just trying to save my game data, while ending up with a rooted tab. And you were right, of course! I tried to restore the back up to no avail, haha....well, I wiped it again, and it booted up just fine, and it is rooted to boot. I can't believe it was that easy with TWRP to root it.

I'm betting this isn't going to work out, but is there anyway to extract my game data from that backup I made, and transfer just that back to my tablet? If it is possible, it'll probably be beyond my ability, I bet, but I'm just curious.

One other question. With TWRP, can I get Lollipop back on it? Or do I need something else on it first?

Now, it's off to figure out how to get my Impulse Controller to work with it so I can play my games with it!

Thanks for helping me out, regardless. I truly thought I had bricked my $600 tablet. My wife would've killed me for wasting that much money, lol!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
There is an app called nandroid manager that will allow you to extract data from nandroids, you could extract your game data with that.

The better way would be to make a system and data backup of your current system, reflash lollipop then restore your lollipop data backup. Then back up your game data with titanium backup.

Restore your kitkat backup then restore your game data with tb.

it's the same build and kernel as Black 2.5

i'm a bit disappointed...

but there must be good news about this version!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Abo Forat:
Am with u pietrucci. Besides I did bench mark with SPBench mark & SKTools one The result was Black 3.0.1 definitely faster than Black Diamond. But HOW & WHY? I just don’t know. Iwent back 2 Black 3.0.1 & I like it a lot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tonyb15re:
ive put BD on, my screen keeps losing alignment, such a PITA.. only reason I went over to it was the BB and Parrot support... what other options are there that support both of these??????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
If your screen is losing alignment this is a VERY WELL known issue. Refer to the wiki about this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
It is not the same build and kernel as Black 2.5

Read below (straight from the official thread...and i can verify it)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tonyb15re:
its been ok with 4 other roms ive tried...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tonyb15re:
update, have removed Pimp My Black, ROM seems to be a lot faster... also removed voice command apps... screen now seems to stay aligned
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Yes....but again this issue is related to hardware, specifically a gasket which when the device heats up expands and causes the screen misalignment.

Like i said before take a look at the wiki pages to see how this can be resolved.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tonyb15re:
Thanks, but am aware of this issue, checked it out when I bought the VPA initially, havent had a problem generally, almost back to the base ROM now and all seems to have settled down, also removed the VIJAY stuff which has some apps to change screen item size, this may have been causing the issue...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
URGH dude you didnt mention that did you!!! :rolleyes: (slaps tony with a kipper)

The crucial info there was the 3rd party app playing with the screen ;)

Sounds like youve diagnosed it yourself then ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
ok, ok, I'm wrong. The build (17743.0.2.3) is newer than 2.5 and a slightly newer than 3.0.1 (17743.0.2.2).

But still older than LVSW (17913.0.3.0).

But that is a fake I assume you will reply?

What I'm trying to say is that it looks like all the ROMs are practically the same (only other programs and drivers).

I tried almost every ROM but after LVSW 19-05-2007 (a mayor step forward!) I really can't tell anymore which one is "better", faster, stabile...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LegolasTheElf:
You use the ROM you are MOST COMFORTABLE WITH and that helps you use your phone the way YOU want to. That's it. This is personal preference. There is not necessarily a 'right' or 'wrong' answer.

I happen to think LVSW roms (mine included) are some of the most stable and 'base' roms around. Black is good too. A lot of testing was in that, and JJ has proved himself to be competent in the past. It just comes down to which you prefer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
i agree my screen kept goin off center also there were wifi stability issues and signal strength was terrible!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walshieau:
Black 3.5 is based on the RTM/RTO versions sent out to Operators for release. the 179** builds are in Microsoft's terms 'Dogfood' leaked builds from the Windows Mobile department...

yes they are a great improvement on speed and stability but are still ina term 'beta'... Like most products they still have their 'undocumented features' which is why you see the odd bug or two... Currently the latest WM6 RTO/RTM build is 17745

I'm liking this ROM too...thumbs up to mr. JJ :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] viczena:
i tried dymond. i personally do not like the black finish. and i get troubles as soon as i start it (wireless not detected, false phone provider etc...). the recorder feature is the one i like best in dymond.

as it doesnt offer any other advantages, i will go back to lvsw, which seems to be more stable (in my personal view).

Black Dymond tech discussions can happen here. The difference is the community can try to fix the problem, as the Chef isn't on these forums. Theres no reason it can't be discussed.

anyone experiencing similar problem that mp3 can't be used as ringtone? it can be selected in the select box but wouldn't play when preview it, and as soon as I hit ok to confirm the selection it would revert back to the default wave ringtone
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Have you tried placing the mp3 in the /windows folder?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] newbro:
Actually if I put it in the /windows folder I can't even find it in the selection box. However if I put it in the /mydocument or /storage card folders it will show up but just can't use it as ringtone. This is kinda annoying as the rom is pretty much perfect for me except for this little problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lordsmiff:
Try putting the file in the "Rings" folder in the Windows folder...you should then see it in the list and be able to choose it.

Also, I've had problems where I've installed some MP3 playing software (not sure which one caused it) where that then stopped the phone from playing MP3 tones - not sure if that was on WM5 though - can't remeber the last time I had that.

HTH,

SMS Backup?

Just installed this version after coming from Black v2.0

I notice that this was removed in v2.5 - replaced by PIM backup (Which is no longer present in Black Dymond)

Does anyone have an installable copy of the SMS Backup app present in v2.0?

I backed up my 300+ txt messages before the ROM upgrade, and now I can't get them back in!

Tried searching for it, but it seems the new version of it (SMS Organiser) doesn't recognise the SMS Backup export.

Help appreciated! Would hate to go back just to get my SMS messages back!

Have tried 1.41 & 1.40 on Orange uk, with not very good results, 1.38.00.01(official orange) or 1.38.00.10 works much better.

However, lot of people like 1.41 in the US & elsewhere, 1.40 works well for others.

Not sure if this has anything to do with Dymond but I have a slight problem with TomTom 6. Everything works perfectly well with my BT headset and BT GPS running. However, if TomTom is running and I make or accept a call, it stays on the phone screen until the call is over. On previous Black ROMs, on answering a call, it would switch back to the TomTom screen and the TomTom would display the 'sound off' icon so I could continue to navigate whilst talking.

Anyone else having this issue? If not I guess I will try a hard reset and re-install to see if that works.
