[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maui:
Hi there..

I just received my GalaxyTab GT-P1000 running EU FW P1000XXJID.

Well, me being me I tried to upgrade to the latest P1000XWJK1 with P1_add_hidden.pit, Odin3 1.3 and all Options (Re-Part, AutoReboot, F-Reset.) enabled.

After (apparently) successful flashing it goes straight to Android recovery with:

E: can't mount /dev/block/stl10 (Invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

When i do cache and/or factory wipe...the device will reboot and hang on the glowing SAMSUNG Logo...maybe I just have to wait?

...I'm pretty stumped...what shall I do. Is it fixable?

Anyone know the right combination of P1000XWJK1 and PIT?

Thanks in Advance,

maui
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mklass:
Try again - But this time uncheck the re-partition

I flashed over mine using the same method and just unchecked the re-partition box.

The reason being as the JK1 FW is not a full FW and part so you need not re-partition. If this does not work I would suggest flashing a full 'rom' then the JK1 over the top
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
This is correct. Repartition etc. with JJ4(as it is full) and then just write JK1 over that no repartition or pit file required.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordlucan85:
where can i find the JJ4 full firmware? i've the same problem, that my galaxy tab stop starting and hang on glowing the samsung logo...

if i try to make a hard reset the device starts automaticaly and hang on again...

thxs for helping

Is anyone using the Samsung Omnia 7 on AT&T? I know it has support for AT&T's 1900 band for 3G but wanted to know how the experience is. I'm in Germany this week and was hoping to see if I can pick one up [not really happy with any of the AT&T phones].

Also, with updates possibly being controlled by carriers what's the workaround for buying an unlocked device from overseas and using it in the US on AT&T?

Thx!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
can't tell you about omnia on at&t, but as far as i'm aware if your phone is unlocked from carrier, i don't see any reason/possibility for them to delay an update being rolled to your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shujaa:
Cool, thx.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phone Titan:
You should be able to get updates via the Zune software.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krissrock:
I'm sorry. this is my first post for this forum. Im not educated on on the compatibility of the EU phones on US carriers....

But is this really possible? I really like the SS Omnia the best so far.

an unlocked ominia will work perfectly fine on AT&T?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aturayd:
it will work perfectly.. except for the lack of 3G. The omnia lacks the all important 850 band at&t uses... and the 1700 band tmobile uses.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shujaa:
An explanation for "The omnia lacks the all important 850 band at&t uses" would be useful as AT&T also supports 3G on the 1900 band that the Omnia 7 supports. So seems like it should work...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Dependa on the tower. Lacking tje 850 band is a big deal on att.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shujaa:
Thanks for that response. I really wanted to see if I could sneak away with the omnia as the focus isn't really as good
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agp64:
One advantage with the Focus is it has an SD card slot to extend storage.

If you use you phone for music,movies and games it's a big +.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akachay:
lacking 850 is not a problem since only mayor citied like new york, san fran, dallas etc. have 850 and the majority of normal city only have 1900. so 1900 is fine given you don't have access to hsdpa and hsupa, only regular 3g. now if only i can find an unlock omnia 7 under $650.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
There are maps available showing coverage for each AT&T 3G frequency band. I wouldn't dismiss one band over the other. It all depends on what city you live in.

Check into the coverage areas before you waste money on a phone that won't give you 3G coverage in your area.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shujaa:
Very interesting as I googled AT&T 850 vs. 1900 MHz Coverage and pulled up a very interesting map [can't post a link due to my post count].

Coverage of the two bands is almost identical. I didn't know that speed is something to give up on the 1900 band though.

Good info. Yeah, I'm in Europe this week and no one is offering it unlocked!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
here's the maps.

http://www.cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml

my question would be though, which is the band they are going to expand going forward???
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krissrock:
so what's the difference between these bands? the phone does both so you would be "covered" so to speak
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shujaa:
I'll be asking at an AT&T store, perhaps they can shed some light...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
i personally am not sure if all phones handle the varying bands straight from the OEMs. HTC lists what bands their phone supports to each region, but in saying that it would be good to know what would happen if you got a omnia to the US (or in my case if i somehow managed to get an unlocked focus to australia :P).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
I don't think the phone supports at&t's 850mhz band.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krissrock:
according to this it does

http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=pd...icially_confirmed_windows_phone_7_smartphones

and this

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i8700_omnia_7-3537.php

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS1900, UMTS2100

CSD, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA

From what i've heard, ATT doesn't even really use the 850 spectrum much anymore...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeken:
Several people are selling this new on eBay for ~$600, but it does not support 3G. As per the one auction details:

* Works with AT&T and T-mobile EDGE but does not work with 3G networks in the USA

* Works with AT&T 1900Mhz 3G but not AT&T 850mhz 3G - Does not work with T-mobile 3G in the USA

I love the design of this phone too but is it worth paying all that money for a phone where you won't be able to take advantage of all its features? Edge is slow as Sh*t compared to 3g in my area. Just consider that if you really want this phone in the US.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krissrock:
i'm outside of Philly, looks like i'd be fine

http://www.wireless.att.com/download/GPRS_coverage_leg.pdf

but i just don't think i can justify paying that kinda money for the phone, and the $175 ETF
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheekyGreek:
Hi Peeps,

For some strange reason my SGS has decided to stop sending sms. After hitting send the messages just get stuck on "sending"

I have checked the message centre number and the mms setting just in case. I have tried the sim in an old nokia and it texts just fine.

It was having intermittent issues with sms around a week ago, where it wouldnt send a message, so i would send the same one again and then both would send simultaneously. However now its not sending at all.

I am running Froyo.xwjp6 with kernel 2.6.32.9.

I have also tried instaling Handcent SMS but i just get the error "message not sent"

Thoughts on a postcard?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyturbo:
Same here, although trying handcent has allowed me to send, but strangely, will intermittently fail, im sure its a froyo bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheekyGreek:
I managed to fix it. Couldn't be bothered with trying to reflash the modem or even the os, so tried the Privacy-return to factory settings option just out of curiosity. Can't figure out what it did exactly but when it rebooted i had not lost any settings or applications, and all my home screen app shortcuts were still there. The only discernable difference was the lack of gadgets on the home screen, which I had to reinstall.

The important thing however is that messaging worked again. God knows why.

One susipicion I have is that this is due to my usage of Titanium Backup. I installed it when i was running Eclair, and each time i upgrade the OS i use it to restore my old system data and apps. Perhaps some change between Eclair and Froyo's messaging settings is being overwritten by and older version by Titanium. I suspect this as following the above factory restore I tried a Titanium restore and instantly it broke my messaging again. So I did the factory again and got them back. There wasn't really any need to use Titanium as I said before I didn't seem to lose any setting or apps, but did it anyway out due to that old cat's friend curiosity:)

Give it a go if u dare and see what happens :)

Let me know how u get on...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheekyGreek:
Ok so im still having the same problem.is there really noone out there with an idea?
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
Does anyone know why this got closed? Was it due to the childish stuff that was going on?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
Look through the forums, the mod has posted his reasoning in the BS 1.6 thread, whether its true or not is a personal oppinion, mine will not be broadcast, but there you go
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
I must have missed it. Tried to find a reason in that thread. So I assume that mod will no longer be supported here?
[Epic 4G General] johnsongrantr:
check the op, xda mod edited it

what a drama whore.... he makes some decent roms but very much likes to QQ
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
Yea I found it after I posted my last one. It is really sad, as I tried out his rom and got great battery life. I had almost 15 hrs from full charge to battery blinking. Have yet to get that with anyone else.
[Epic 4G General] nobloat:
I personally think the mods should have closed all the other rom/kernel threads and just left Hero_Over's open.

:shrug:
[Epic 4G General] jeremyglass:
+1

Still absolutely no problems with any of his ROMs! He didnt want to give up his code source (so other devs could see his work) and that is against the "GPL" guidelines. This happens everytime he puts out a ROM on here. I would suggest going to BakeSnackShack.com to keep updated and support him. He said he was going to make it a free forum soon so we will see....but I will pay $5 for each and everyone of his roms!

PS I have the links if anyone still wants Version 1.6....

Unplugged 15hrs and at 78% battery.....I mean come on!
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
Is that 15 hrs with light usage?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It really sucks for Epic development in general. I thought we were on a roll there for a while with all the great ROM's and development going on. Weather you like his ROM's or not, the more dev's the better. Is there this much bickering and drama on other device forums?
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
So basically if you do not release your code you are not in gpl guidelines?
[Epic 4G General] jeremyglass:
Yep here is the google def:

Versions entitled GPL Ghostscript are distributed with the GNU General Public License, which allows free use, and free copying and redistribution under certain conditions (including, in some cases, commercial distribution).

I would not want anyone else changing my work and claiming it as there own so I don't blame Hero!

And yes thats light use since I flashed my phone, played some angry birds, texting, and left it unplugged over night (usually a 25% drain/ but last night only 12%)
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
This is what every phone manufacturer does with Google's stock Android, technically. Which is why the GPL states you must release your source.
[Epic 4G General] twoeleven99:
All I can say is I've had 2 other android devices and Ive only started seeing shady/weird stuff since getting this new phone and browsing the epic forums..other devs must think this side of xda is a joke
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
What do you mean?
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Yea I had 2 other android phones and never seen this type of **** that goes on here,i love my epic but sometimes I wish I went with vibrant cuz it got better roms and forums.
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
can someone actually just PM me the link to the ultimate kernel? i have 1.6 ROM and babystep and step2 but would like to try ultimate and didnt get a chance to grab it, TIA!

EDIT: nvm, 2 seconds of resourcefulness and i was able to deduce it from the link to one of the other files, thanks anyway
[Epic 4G General] MeOverTrance:
Lol this is sad, not letting someone steal your hard work gets you banned ? That's all I got out of this
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
Well what I dont understand about GPL is this. Cant you just download the file and then extract out the code to get it?
[Epic 4G General] mistabusta:
Same thing happened with the Samsung Moment over at SDX Developers between their board and that ghetto hoodrat DearmasFamily.
[Epic 4G General] dangdang:
If you modify GPL code then you must release your changes if its released as a binary.

If he's such a great dev then he could start from scratch and attach his own license.
[Epic 4G General] art3mis-nyc:
it's not stealing.

Look at it this way, without joey's root, noobs work on the root scripts, skeeters work on the initramfs, countless other tweaks both given and commited to the source tree to make this all work on our phones, not to mention googles iital work, and samsungs tweaks for drivers (all of which given out freely with source) Other kernel dev's in the forums pasting in tweaks and code. His kernel wouldnt exist.

by your logic he's already "stolen" all this work from others without any compensation to the original devs, now when someone wants him to share and share alike on the source he has(like all the other kernel devs are doing in every forum on this board btw) he QQs and gets pissy.

He got into this knowing that it was GPL code and by XDA's standards all binaries must have source provided on request. for GPL code.

This isnt the winmo forum where thier source isn't gpl, this is android. it was is and will always be GPL.

it wasnt a change that just happened over night.

If you think this is stealing, you're sadly confused.

For anyone that supports and donates(read pays for a subscription) you REALLY should be donating to the people that got it far enough for him to use in the first place.

To the people claiming that "his rom is the best" perhaps you should check out the other roms like Expereience, Heroic and Syndicate. All 3 are GPL all 3 share what they find making everyone better on the whole, and offer excellent theme copatibility, excellent battery life, and a myriad of other things that you've blindly ignored to follow the matyr theif to his own forums.

Lets never speak of Hero again, until he grows up and learns that what he does is opensource GPL, until he starts developing from scratch his own little OS and drivers for some device, he'll always need to "steal" from others to enhance his Rom.

$0.02
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
im curious on how others stole his work? just because i can add 2+2 and get 4 doesnt mean i should accuse you of stealing if you get 4 as well. to further delve into it he tries to claim that Decad3nce was trying to steal his work, HA. he might have as well call toastcfh a damn script kiddy...

he has had his threads closed numerous times about gpl violations, he will quickly put up a fight and then release his source after a while.. next version comes out... no source following, again questioned about it and he blows up. these are the rules of XDA, you dont have to read them but by posting on xda you agree to them. he doesnt want to follow gpl, whatever its just not going to be here.

for all you bots trying to suck up to hero_over clearly yall dont pay attention to his twitter he happens to be fairly friendly with kylecole90 (the guy that took donations to get an epic and then ran).

tell me how you plan to extract source code from things like the kernel when its compiled as a zimage?
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
+1. I'm not going to comment on Hero, what I am going to say is that Schizopunk of Epic Experience has contributed to SyndicateROM, and ACS has contributed to Epic Experience. I and other ACS members even offer support in other threads. We're around to try to unify and advance the Epic community - and we hope others will help out with that. ;)

BOO, HISS! ;)
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
k0nane im beginning to think your stalking me >.>
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
You posted while I was posting. Had to edit to catch your reply. :p
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Actually, the opposite is more true. People who tend to NOT release their original and/or modified GPL code are usually the one's stealing from others who don't want to be seen.

Lack of transparency... ;)
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
Here's another way to look at it. If Hero does not release the source code, *he* is stealing from Google (Android) and/or Linus Torvalds (Linux) and cannot legally distribute (free or for payment) this ROM since he does not have a license to distribute the work he based his ROM from.

IMHO, it is not the xda mods that are wrong here, it is hero.

Hero is free to write a complete ROM from scratch, though. I expect that hardware drivers, at least, would be a challenge.
[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
Love BS 1.6. Hate the added XDA BS

That rom works better and the battery lasts longer than any rom I've tried. I have donated to say thanks, because I no longer can thank him in his thread. Too bad big brother is on such a power trip.

I also advocate a minimalist government.

I would just like toclear up, I am not taking anyone's side I just wanted to explain where the info could be found
[Epic 4G General] bobdude5:
Did you not read the thread?
[Epic 4G General] HeisRisen:
This post makes the most sense out of everything posted here.

As for the guy saying who we should all donate our money to, he can save it. I donate to many people within this development community. I believe Hero is 100% wrong in not sharing his code, but I also believe that credit should be given where credit should be given. There are people posting stuff on these forums that should definitely be giving some credit to Hero and the work he has done.

That being said, I have been involved in various development communities in the last fifteen years. From hacking satellite, smart cards and packed in asics, to reversing software as well as VBA and Silverlight development. One thing for sure, this group is filled with the most drama and the most amount of kids I have every came across. Glad to see things leveling out.
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
Still waiting for the latest DTV cards to be cracked...:D
[Epic 4G General] HeisRisen:
Hah, for real, they really stepped their game up, scared away most of the legit coders there including myself. Me and my team, were able to create a driver that made our smart card readers compliant with the National Standard so that their accusations of our readers only having one purpose was thrown out in court. After that day, I have not messed with it since. Took us four days of no sleep to get that driver out, but to have 400 cases in the State of Louisiana thrown out due to that effort, that was priceless. I used to go by EternalWon over there, did you ever write any code or work on any of the older ROMS?
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Can't speak for all the forums, but the WM forums never seemed to have that much kindergarten crap in my years here. The Epic4G forums are the first place I recall being annoyed with this junk, and it is the only negative I have about the Epic.

As others have pointed out Hero-Over's work is top-knotch. He's a bright, talented guy.

Too bad he has to be such a child.
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
Yea I really liked this rom and his ultimate kernel. I have tried 3 different roms and kernels and nothing has compared to the battery life (which is important to me). That is the main reason I liked it. All the other roms/kernels could not even make it through the day.

I have used epic/phoenix and my phone would shut down all the time

sindicate/and their xtreme kernel, ran very smooth, but could not get the battery life I wanted.

Baked/ultimate, gave me awesome battery life and ran very smoothly.
[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
No... I can't read :(

J/k. Yeah, I read all of this one and all of the other one.

My point is that there are only waves because someone decided to make them. Not the guy that was posting his work. There was previous animosity there that some XDA cronies couldn't get over. It is just to bad, he does put real effort into supporting his roms.

-Roger
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
AGREED. WE as a whole should be collaborating to BETTER the EPIC community vs. playing games. This starts to get ridiculous very quickly.

[Epic 4G General] dfitzpatrick:
I came from the htc hero and never really saw anything like this before...wow.

the fact is developers agree to a license. They need to honor their side of the bargain... I hope Hero understands his stance is hypocracy at its best.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
anybody have a link to his kernel? I have never experienced great battery life on my epic. After installing the emotionless beast theme(syndicate rom) it might be at an all time low. I've been reading the culprit is the battery mod.

Hey there, I was wondering if there were any good apps comparable to nimbuzz and fring, which do NOT require me to register at their meta-service.

I'd like to use jabber with videocalling (front-camera support is important), however, fring, which supports everything I want, needs me to register a Fring-ID. I don't want that...

And please don't tell me to not care and register anyway, or that there's "no harm in it". I simply do not want it, period.
[Windows Phone 7 General] archangel4321:
I've noticed that in Internet Explorer on my HD7, images are shown at a lower color depth than they originally are. If you save the images, then you can browse them in your photos in (what appears to be) original quality. However, while in IE, images have severe color banding. It does not seem to be due to how much you're zoomed in. And changing the "Mobile Version" vs "Desktop Version" in the settings, as expected, only changes the layout of the site.

Has anyone else noticed this, or am I seeing things?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jenova0:
Nope you are not the only one. For those who want to see this effect, google lcd-test, click on the first link(lagom.nl) and select Gradient (banding). Compare between the image you see on internet explorer and the saved image, the difference is really significant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
Well I'll be damned...tried that website and sure enough the browser image was blurred and chopped up and the saved version was perfect. Hmm...I wonder what MS will do about this...
[Windows Phone 7 General] cloudpost:

Oddly, the gradient image looks quite good on my optimus 7. It's the black to white that you are looking at, right?
