hey, you forgot irrepressibly polysyllabic ! xD

okay seriously though, i'm momentarily stumped as to what's going on with my t330nu but later later tonight i'll run a kernel compile and try the t530 rom again.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGMONO:
i tried that lol it didnt work im a .net dev not an android dev i assure you the android devs are much smarter however i did try that method already i purchased ODIN mobile and the device is not supported, when i did try with odin pc version the erro is the aboot and fails im very sure the system will work on t530nu
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Nah you don't want to try this with Odin it verifies what device you have. I say try flashfire instead (chainfire even said FF is intended to replace mobile Odin as well as safestrap) but we have to figure something out for the kernel (boot.img).

[MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] I was able to flash t530/1 ROMs before anyone started developing NU specific custom kernels, is it not working here because it's an official build or something? Sorry for my frustratingly persistent dearth of knowledge.

Finally another individual understands my irresistible urge to layer on excess syllables with each successive increment of agitation I am provoked to. Also my father is a lawyer (lmao). I'll try some things for this tonight, I don't really expect success (or really anything other than a soft brick) but my curiosity is officially piqued, I'll make this my project for tonight
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
L,

hi, this step carries risk, make a backup !!

what you need, from the full firmware img extract system.img and boot.img

pack system.img for odin flash, this is the tricky part, it's one of the following

A- rename system.img.ext4 to system.img

--- then in linux/cygwin cd to the directory where system.img is located

--- run tar as follows

--- tar -H ustar -c system.img > system.img.tar

--- md5sum -t system.img.tar >> system.img.tar

--- mv system.img.tar system.img.tar.md5

or

B- don't rename system.img.ext4 and run again in linux/cygwin

--- tar -H ustar -c system.img.ext4 > system.img.ext4.tar

--- md5sum -t system.img.ext4.tar >> system.img.ext4.tar

--- mv system.img.ext4.tar system.img.ext4.tar.md5

then attempt attempt odin flash, NOT MOBILE ODIN

do the same for boot.img

can you give me a download link to flashfire please i tried searching for this i cant find it ? please thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGMONO:
Thank you i will try this and thanks to all that is participating in this thread.. i have a lg g3 i just updated to lollipop and i like it, but remember for you guys out there newbees so to say at least try and give support for AOSP and Cyan roms i am a huge fan.

Here

But try what moonbutt74 is saying first, he's smarter than I. I'm just thinking aloud about all the (probably almost certainly stupid) stuff I'm going to try to get this working
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
T,

i have a though about incorrect firmware linking in boot.img and /system/etc scripts in the release

to mount and explore the system.img goto directory where extracted image is located and run

simg2img system.img.ext4 system.img

when thats done

mkdir system

mount -o rw -t ext4 system.img system

for the boot img goto [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] 's AIK thread and get the linux package

use that toolkit to unpack the boot.img and check it out, you'll generate two directories after img unpacking,

ramdisk and split-image in split-image directory you will find the kernel and dtb imgs

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGMONO:
any luck? No go here
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
L, T,

okay here is a "generic" rom-flashing template generated from blisspop build system with --block packaging turned off [the old way]

what to do - after mounting the system.img , pack the actual system directory into the root of this zip

do the same with the boot.img, You guys know the structure of a rom zip package.

META-INF
system
boot.img

in this case i left supersu in, along with install function in updater-script so after packing system directory and boot.img

META-INF
supersu
system
boot.img

now what you will need to do is fine tune the script to complete the install, then work it from there. eg correcting symlinking etc.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGMONO:
nice im trying now thanks again for your help! yes i think i got it from here i do little work with working with updater.zips and the such m still sadly just a beginner aka newbee
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGMONO:
umm i hear the loading sound but stuck on the samsung galaxy tab 4 it just sits there, howeverit does flash in twrp without error
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
okay so let's clarify the above,

what you are saying is you have the bootanimation and accompanying sound event which means

you have a read from /system/media /system/media/audio

so, now you need to plug the device into pc and start adb to get the logcat.

adb logcat -d

copy that output to a text file, zip it and post it as attachment to next post.

also run

adb shell

and if you get in to tab run

cd /sdcard

and then

ls

this information is not needed, just confirm you can access internal storage

m

EDIT- also run

mount

and post that output in next post, please use code wrapper
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGMONO:
no sir no bootanimation ive got the Set Warrenty Bit: kernel (yes im knox 0x1) i dont care about that part though lol, anyways and the Samsung GALAXY TAB 4 logo in middle then the POWERED BY ANDROID this screen stays on but i can hear the bootamination sound , ive used the above method and the flashfire with the same results. both does them same, could this be driver releated? no bootanimation and no launcher at all. ill get you the logcat give me a few bud:)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
hmm, okay, this will sound goofy,

so you see the bootsplash and not the bootanimation BUT your hear the music, dum dum dum dee dum dummm ? :silly:

m
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Wait. Are you guys trying to get an LP firmware from T530 to work on the NU one? And flash it with twrp? I'm pretty surely you need an LP bootloader in order for it to boot. I'm quite unsure what going on (sorry)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
D, hi, being that we have sub77's lollipop build for the sm-t530nu, i'm about 70/30 on the bootloader not being needed.

now the kernel/modules and perhaps some proprietary binaries, some voodoo on scripting, and we might get it running.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
okay when flashing as L - bootsplash , dum dum dum dee dum dummmm :silly:

i played a hunch and restored sub77's cm12 bootimg over the existing installation - got bootanimation [there's no xda smiley for interesting]

locgat spits out line after line of policy errors could not add whatever to group whatever

this was done after replacing kernel/dtb/modules with stock from the kk rom

the flash with sub77's cm12 boot.img contained his caf kernel and dtbs which resulted in bootanimation [chuggy] system server died, again

policy issues, no dum dum dum dee dum dummm :(

i do beleive this release may be a caf build.

i have a few more tests to run, try and get config.gz out of kernel binary or find another way to determine kernel configuration.

my first thought is to hex the bastard and look for gzip magic 0x1f, 0x8b or 1F 8B 08

Links to CM12 ROMs for T530NU

:confused: Sorry to be dense, but after an hour or so of searching I am not able to locate these ROMs about which you speak. Any chance I could get you to supply a link to these files?

Many thanks.

Docbda
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
--Regular Cyanogenmod 12.1

--BlissPop

--PacLP

Bliss is far and away the best in my opinion. A ton more customization options, you really have the power to make your tablet your own unlike every other rom, plus Pac is now somewhat outdated and under-supported. For the first two you can't use the most recent build (until we get an official update, because they require a lollipop bootloader) but the builds right before that work fine and are still great roms. Happy flashing!

(As an SM-T530NU owner I can assure you any rom designed for the SM-T530 is compatible with our tablet, of course with the minor exceptions noted above)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Docbda:
Glad you posted a reply so quickly!

After I posted this reply, I looked at your profile and saw you were running Bliss 3.2 and searched for that. Of course, I found it. As per the information on the Bliss page, I was getting ready to flash Android 5 (via the link provided there) to update the bootloader on my tablet, and then flash Bliss 3.3. Sounds like that was going to be a mistake, since the bootloader apparently in this ver of Android 5 is not compatible with the NU. You probably just saved me from bricking my tablet. :D

Thank you very, very much.

[MENTION=6713532]Docbda[/MENTION], not sure if you know but there is now official LP released for T530NU, so 3.3 works fine after flashing stock LP. And if on KK bootloader still, you can use the alternative kernel posted by sub77 in the Blisspop thread and still be able to use 3.3. Enjoy!!

Ok, initial comments...

This is the same rom that we are working on in the other thread about official Wizard rom. OS shows at 10.1.0.811 and the build date is Aug 2006 (See pics below). It has a few apps on it (X-Button 1.5 is on here and enabled so thats why the today screen problems that Dr. P mentioned I'm guessing). BatteryStatus is on here and is build 182.

The menu sounds (clicks) are disabled.

Apps I see so far:

Office 2007

Adobe Reader

Smartskey (not active by default)

Registry Editor (DotFred's TaskManager)

Total Commander

HTC Zip

WM5torage

VoiceCommand

BatteryStatus (has the program/icon in Start>System>Settings)

CallCalendar2 (no clue what this is. I clicked on it and it didn't seem to do anything)

Mobile Secretary

PIM Backup

SIPConfig

StartupManager

Windows Update

X-Button 1.5

Seems quick. I haven't looked to see what the pagepool is yet. Only thing I'm surprised at is the program memory being low right after flash (23meg)

Thanks Faria and Dr P.

Here is some basic info on the rom.

OS 5.2.318 (BUILD 15342.4.0.01)

MEMORY (PROGRAM)

TOTAL 49.70

IN USE 26.58

FREE: 23.12 (28.9 after below step)

After deleting the following shortcuts from WINDOWS/STARTUP (btdwake.lnk, capnotify.lnk, init_tray.lnk, poutlook.lnk, vibrate.lnk, voice command.lnk)and doing a soft reset my free program memory increased to 28.9mb

This rom seems blisteringly fast to me!:) Gonna throw a few apps at it now...

This is just the OS. No extended rom, gsm, splash screens etc.

Activesync only in background

I have just flashed this and generally very happy. Only one thing I have noticed. It is not possible to bring Activesync to the foreground. It is running as my E-Mail, contacts, and calendar got synchronised but if I choose the app from the Office Mobile directory there is a flicker then it stops.

This prevents me from checking the config or doing a manual sync. Task Manager shows that it is running and clearly it is working.

I tried both with and without X-Button enabled but it made no difference.

Anyone else seeing this ?

Wow, good catch. ActiveSync isn't even a program to run it appears.

[edit...] I found ActiveSync, its in the Mobile Office folder with some other stuff (and yes, this is Office 2007). I can't bring ActiveSync to the front though as you stated.

Also the modified keyboard on the screen has to go. I don't like the dark part in the middle of each key as I have a hard time reading it. Switching back to the mun custom keyboard (easier on my eyes)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
I switched to the mun also, as did everyone else. As for the AS, maybe it's the wrong shortcut? Not sure as I'm on the Hermes so is difficult to "borrow" the wife's Wizard, eheheh!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I did look and the shortcut has some unknown characters in it. I removed them but it still doesn't seem to work. I just went to the Comm Manager and clicked on the ActiveSync button and it came right up... So you can bring it up that way.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] petraviva:
Thanks for the tip. I also tried to add repllog.exe through the BatteryStatus Tray Launch and that doesn't work. Where does CommManager get the button definitions so I can compare ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
Has anyone managed to rip this apart yet? I think faria has made this ROM so it is very difficult to backward engineer :(

This is probably a fantastic ROM, however there is a lot of stuff in here that I just don't want and would prefer to remove and replace with my own stuff.

Now before you say 'well use the Faria kitchen and his base ROM' I have two reasons for this - Office 2007 and my ongoing L2TP/IPSec VPN issue.

I have installed this ROM on my spare Wizard and L2TP/IPSec VPN seems to work all the time without any of the 'bodges' I have had to do to get it intermittently working in my own ROM (well in my half hour of testing it does, which is much more than any other WM6 ROM I have tried so far, including the Faria base ROM).

If someone can tell me what changes were made to get L2TP/IPSec VPN working in this ROM then I am happy to apply them to my own ROM to test, however I have a feeling I will still have issues as I think this may be a deeper problem? If that's the case I would like this ROM in a kitchen form so I can add and remove my own stuff. Any chance?

Thanks

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
You might have a problem there... Faria doesn't use RGU's, he's evolved past that. I'll have to look and see if I can do anything with it with my kitchen, not sure if I have his latest. And no, I can't share, sorry.

Just flashed to the new Faria... no probs at all so far

Thanks!

Will let you know how it goes for TMobile with the 2.40.11 radio

First Impressions from last few hours

I get a faster, stronger signal with this ROM + 2.40.11 radio than I did before with 'the real thing' ROM - it's at least 1 bar stronger and faster.. and it automatically went to the Cingular connection when my TMobile connection got lost - found the tower pretty fast too

The annoying 'lose GPRS/Edge connection' that seemed to happen out of nowhere (especially after losing a phone signal) is gone, and the phone automatically reconnects (where before I'd have to soft-reset a lot)

I have on average 27-28Megs free on boot-up.. and things seem like they run much faster

Battery status is the newest beta and seems 'stabler'. Today Agenda was missing but easily reinstalled. Live search is also not in but easily reinstalled as well.. most of the other important stuff is around 'total cmd, task manager, regedit

***Activesync.lnk got moved under office mobile and is somehow the wrong one (16b).. this is easily fixable by 'deleting' the activesync.lnk file currently, and coping the 'async.lnk' file from \windows\async.lnk instead***

Only complaint is I can't stand the keyboard :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] masr1979:
Oh!? guess I'll play around with the other rom for the time being since I really can't deal with a rom that I don't personalize anymore :p I hope faria gets some free time soon to work on this. He will be releasing a kitchen for this right Dr P.?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
I love this rom except for a few things that drive me nuts. First, when looking at the initflashfiles.dat, its a mess, now I know I cant expect faria to be all organized, but I kinda like knowing what Im looking at. Also, smartskey, I need to know how to remove it. LOL. It drives me nuts that when you stop it the keys on the front just above the direction buttons dont work. hmmm..... All the other apps are nice to have, but I think i have alot of cleaning to do lol.
