[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
Ok great. I would like to locate the US firmware though for future use. I travel alot in the US and in the event I need a different carrier's modem... Are the US carriers listed somewhere else or am I blind? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/SM-T705/

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You have root so install twrp from the development section and do a full back up of your current system.

You can then restore as you please.

Seems no US firmware for the t705.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
LOL... ok now I have another problem. I had already downloaded the Bell mobility file from Sammobile and hadn't seen this response - in the meantime I hooked up with Odin and my download failed twice - I don't get it. I just did my Note 3 10 minutes ago without any issues. Rebooted device and odin between both attempts.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Don't flash anything until you make that full backup with TWRP, trust me it will save a massive headache should you need it.

Download Flashfire from the link below then set your date back to August, run Flashfire then load up the firmware, select the Flash firmware package option.

From the partitions list select system.img and boot.img only.

Under the reboot options select download mode then hit the flash button.

Once it has flashed and booted to download mode you will need to flash a lollipop bootloader (assuming you are flashing lollipop?)

You will find them in the bootloader thread.

After that just reboot the tablet, it will take about ten minutes for it to fully boot.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
Uh... ok you lost me early on. I downloaded the file - how do I install it? I remember using the TWRP thing several phones back when I was messing with custom ROMs. I had a problem with recovery and since then have never gone this route - I've been happy with stock rom and root - installed using Odin... sortof the KISS principle.

I can try TWRP, but could you dumb down the instructions a bit - as I mentioned, I'm a bit thick - particularly with some of the terminology! LOL

This is the file I downloaded - yes, Lollipop - I don't understand why I have the Odin Fail - google isn't helping me understand either. I have root, USB debugging is enabled and I followed the same steps as with my Note 3 - the message said write fail.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/52301/T705WVLU2BOE4_T705WOYA2BOE4_BMC/ Is this what you mean by bootloader?

TWRP - flash with odin then boot into twrp using POWER + HOME + VOL UP - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/twrp-2-8-6-1-unofficial-sm-t800-805-807-t3074633

Bootloader - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3099362
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
Ok but those "bootloaders" are custom ROMS are they not? And I don't see my device on the TWRP site - I have the LTE version, it only shows Wifi.

Really all I want to install the Bell stock firmware (assuming it is indeed compatible - SM-T705 vs SM-T75W) I linked to from the Sammobile site and then do Chainfire's auto-root.

Why isn't Odin writing the firmware to my device? I've never had this issue before and I don't see what I might have done differently with this device - it's the first time I've tried to update it, but I had no trouble rooting it with the chainfire auto-root.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
No they are bootloaders they are required to boot the firmware , roms are the os.

Odin won't flash because certain devices will refuse to flash another regions firmware.

My advice to you is to flash the lollipop bootloader first, to make sure it will flash then flash the firmware with flashfire.

Obviously make the twrp backup first.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
Ok I flashed the bootloader, and then I tried to flash the firmware with Odin again but it still won't do it - write fail again. I've never used flashfire - windows 10 won't open it... :(

UDATE: Ok I read to transfer the file to the download folder on the tablet, and then install on tablet. So I did that, but when I click on the icon it doesn't run. How the heck do I use this to install the firmware update? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
Figured out the date bit, ran Flashfire.... problems during the install - got stuck in boot loop - tried a factory reset - that didn't work... stuck in loop. I think I'm bricked....

Left the default settings in place - very little in the way of instructions - read the bit about not trying to write over protected settings...

And got this:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You're not bricked as long as the tablet starts up and you can boot to Download mode.

I've seen that error with corrupt downloads so not sure why you're getting it.

Reboot to download mode. Just hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until the device restarts and boots to download mode.

Doesn't matter if it's boot looping.

Reflash TWRP and restore the backup you made earlier. You will be back to where you started.

At this point I think the best option is to flash a custom lollipop rom.

There is a very good one I use on my t805 which is practically stock with a bit of bloatware removed.

Its in the development section called sweetrom.

At least one positive is that you were able to flash the lollipop bootloader, so upgrade is not impossible.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
I'm definitely able to get to download mode - I was surprised that the factory recovery mode didn't work. I'm wondering if the file from sammobile is corrupted - I used the same file with Flashfire - now I think Odin was trying to save me. I'm downloading the same file again fresh, and it looks like Telus and possibly the other Canadian variants are the same - unless it's the same corrupted file.

I just hope the problem isn't because my phone identifies itself as a straight SM-T705. That is why I asked about that point earlier. There are plenty of straight 1705 options available - just don't know which country would be compatible - particularly for the modem.

I didn't understand how to use TWRP and I've had problems with it in the past (recovery) when I did figure out how to use it and was messing with custom ROMS a couple of years ago. I would really like to get myself back in order with a proper stock ROM and root. This tablet belongs in my car and right now I just want it to work properly - I'm using Torque to resolve some ongoing engine issues and it will suck if I have to go back to using the small screen on my Note 3.

If there is any way to figure out which of those countries for the 705 are compatible with Canadian carriers, in case this Bell firmware is defunct, that would be appreciated.

As well, is that bootloader going to cause any problems with stock firmware? I've already flashed it - does stock firmware come with bootloaders included?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
OK before I go any further with this I need you to install twrp and make that back up. Twrp is now very stable.

Twrp will back up some very important partitions namely the Efs and modem. Don't take this warning lightly. The amount of people that have soft bricked their device because they didn't do this.

Boot into twrp then simply select the backup option and make sure the partitions on the left are ticked particularly boot,

Efs and modem.

Now as regards which firmware.

I would forget about installing the Canadian firmware.

It looks like this firmware will only install specifically on a Canadian device.

It doesn't really matter which firmware from which region you install as they are pretty much all the same except for the carrier ones which just add more bloat and some csc specific stuff.

Just go for an international rom. You've already flashed a bootloader from one of these roms so that proves you can flash.

Use odin to flash.

If you have connection issues afterwards then all you need do is restore your modem backup with TWRP.

That's why it's important you do this.

Follow these instructions and we will get you up and running.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
Whole again!

Whole again!

For the record, I read elsewhere that it is NOT recommended to flash other letter variants of a model. In the meantime I downloaded all four Sammobile Canadian Carrier files and they appear to be the exact same file and all install attempts failed For anyone else with an actual SM-705W I read in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/t705-lollipop-t3099945 a fellow Canadian was having a problem with those same files. Dunno what happened with him in the end, however I tried one more W file I found elsewhere that appeared to be different but it failed as well.

Based on the comments in the above thread, I flashed the Hong Kong variant for the SM-705 from Sammobile - apparently it was the first firmware widely available and users from several countries posted they had used it successfully. So far it seems to be working ok - after flashing it, I did a factory reset on the device as was also recommended in the above thread. Sure hope the battery life will be better than before - love this tablet but I've never seen a device drain so rapidly! CF-Auto Root restored!

As a side note my Ebay seller did reply to my origins query and was helpful once he realized I wasn't complaining about the device and wanting to return it... LOL. Apparently my unit originated in Singapore and arrived with that firmware along with a Verizon SIM which I never tested. As long as the OS is smooth, and the modem compatible, and unless someone advises a better country variant, I guess I'll stick with this one.

Now just need to get Torque reconfigured!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akerhage:
started yesterday and the power button did not respond. So someone had to make a call to me to light up the device.

Then probibly the battery ran out because it seemed dead. I have now however managed to get the device into fastboot mode. But to resume från fastboot mode to "Start" I need to press the power button and that is not working from here either.

I have the device plugged into my computer now, but the computer cannot find the device from this state. Or is there anything I can do, start it with some ADB-command prompt? If so, how can I do that? I just want to start it one time, then maybe I can change so I can wake the device with the volume buttons instead.

Please advise me!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elonus:
Follow this guide to install adb and the correct drivers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2018179

Then go to the "platform-tools" folder. Once there hold shift+ctrl and then right click somewhere in the folder. Choose open command prompt here or something like that.

Then connect your phone to the computer with usb. In the command prompt use the command "fastboot devices" if you get a number of some sort back your phone is correctly connected. If not you did something wrong with the installation of adb or the drivers.

If you got some numbers, just use "fastboot reboot" to reboot your device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akerhage:
Tryed all that but I cannot see my phone. I havent got the usb debugging enabled. Tryed both fastboot reboot and adb reboot. I trying adb devices I get nothing back.

Yesterday I got into fastboot, but couldnt turn the phone off, so this morning the battery is dead. And it doesnt even seems to be charging. I dont get the white battery icon now on the screen when putting the usb cable from the charger.

So the situation just got worse I think, power button doesnt work, battery seems to be not charging since it ran out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akerhage:
Ok I have now been able to start the phone and also enabled usb debugging to start it with adb. And I have an app called Volume Power now to wake the device with the volume button instead. But that app is draining battery very fast. Any other good apps for this? Or maybe I can flash some kernel to enable double tap on screen to wake up and shut down the screen?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Check for an app called "Gravity Screen" in Playstore :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
With stock you can flash some kernels like Franco or matr1x to enable double tap to wake, etc. If you want to, you can also purchase and replace the button using one if the teardown tutorials on YouTube.
