So you got it to work? Could you post the files you used. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maniac3389:
I believe the one from rotohammer are actually from my stock backup. (He hosted them for me) You can double check by checking topics I've posted, one of them is a stock AT&T dump I did.

Basically my configuration right now is JMA pbl sbl and kernel and the rest is AT&T stock. Flashing back the zImage from my backup didn't work if I'm remembering correctly.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hybred-nexus:
so how do you flash this with odin? i'm lost everything is so much easier on my N1.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] heythorp:
I am still looking for some feedback

on how to get this Rom to boot and be usable.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] webvan:
Same here, I flashed back using Odin (no repartition) and everything went fine, I get the AT&T splash screen and then it goes to the "recovery menu" (the one you get with ON+Volume Up"

The yellow lines read :

update media, please wait

update media, finished

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Appling Muti-CSC...

Installing Muti-CSC

Any way to get out of this mess ? Thanks !

UPDATE : taking the SIM card out solved that, phew !
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Can some please help. I flashed the tar file from post #1 using ODIN. The flash was successful but all I get now is a blank screen with vibrations.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] webvan:
If you have a SIM card inserted try taking it out.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cnewsgrp:
There was no simcard in. WHat are ODIN flash instructions?

Launch ODIN (I have 1.7).

Put the tar file in PDA

Put TAB in download mode

Click Start

This is what I did. DO these look ok?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] grukko:
Did you uncheck repartition?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I believe it was disabled and unchecked - I did not have an option to change the value.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] grukko:
Looks like reverting to the AT&T stock rom is kind of a mixed bag. People reporting partial success or failing altogether.

Does anyone have a guaranteed method of restocking? Is the firmware from rotohammer in this thread the best that we have? I unfortunately did not take the opportunity to make a backup before flashing to overcome.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] grukko:
Been trying to understand how this whole flashing business works but I'm getting pretty confused.

I'm currently on overcome beta 2 but I need to restore to at&t stock for repairs. It looks like roto's rom does not contain bootloaders. If that's the case, will the bootloader that came with overcome 2.3.3 be able to boot the stock image or do I need to get the correct bootloader and flash that also?

Lastly, if I don't restore the original bootloader, will at&t no longer honor the warranty?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] manekineko:
This is not working for me. Behaves exactly the same as when I try and restore my Roto Backup. Samsung logo appears, and then the sound plays where there should be the Samsung video but there is only static and glitching for the video, and then nothing. Just a black screen with the backlight on, and if I press the power button, it reboots, and if I leave it alone long enough, it reboots on its own.

Any advice on how I can re-stock my AT&T tab? Anyone ever successfully do so?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
The fix for the black screen with the white line is to flash the JJ4 bootloader.

What I would advise is to first install chainfire bootloader patch app, patch your current bootloader (that is causing the boot errors), then if you need to, flash JJ4 bootloaders.

It sure sounds like you are having a lot of trouble with your tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] manekineko:
Yeah, turns out re-stocking an AT&T Tab is incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Haven't been able to find a single example of someone who has managed it completely.

I successfully got the AT&T original firmware booting again, only with corrupted boot graphics, and actually already tried flashed JJ4 bootloader. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, JJ4 bootloader does not seem to be solving my corrupted graphics glitch.

It might be better to continue this in my Q&A thread:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightrapid:
So I've recently started watching shows again and I've wanted to find a great MKV player that works well on the Dinc. Only problem I'm having is the actual playback, is the Dinc not suited for mkv playability?

When I use Rockplayer, its really choppy on the different files. And the sound doesn't seem to sync up all that well, a bit on the laggy side. I know the hardware isn't really suited for video playability but it seems to do pretty well on avi's and mp4's and the sort. MKV seems to be the popular type among others, but it isn't handled well by the phone.

Should I just convert my videos to the "lower" format? Does anyone have a good reccomendation for an MKV player or settings of the sort? :(

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonesh:
I tried RockPlayer today, too, and was disappointed in it. Seems that I'll be transcoding my files to AVI with h264 or some such. It might help to remove unnecessary language tracks, subs, etc. If you don't plan on using another screen to view the files, downsizing to 720x480 would be a great help, if the source files are larger.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Have you tried VPlayer? it is in alpha right now, but I haven't had a problem with it playing anything. Although I haven't tried a HD movie file.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FranzVz:
When I had the Original Motorola Droid 1 I used both RockPlayer and arcMedia.

When I tested .mkv files with arcMedia, it played really smooth.

Look for arcMedia in the market and let us know if it works out better for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightrapid:
VPlayer seems like the closest possible. Once it gets better I'll definitely use it. But right now, its not so good because its pretty choppy. For one of my dual audio files, it plays a screechy sound, but it'll get better. I'll leave the creator some feedback and such but, I like it.

It works somewhat well, but when I play videos, they're still choppy and the sound isn't synced either. Better than Rockplayer in terms of playing mkv files but maybe it might also be the size of the file itself that is causing the problems.

500mb does seem like quite a bit to process. But...a contradiction lies with the fact that Rockplayer and others can play large avi/mp4 files? Gah, I guess I'll just wait for updates or something, convert some of my files. >_>
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickthecrowdup:
Check out CorePlayer on Twitter. Their tweets indicate that it will be released very soon.

I've been waiting for this since I made the switch from Windows Mobile to Android. It should be extremely stable and play everything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FranzVz:
mkv files are a problem in general. Most of my files are in .avi. I have a 1.4 gb dream theater concert that runs fine on arcmedia, but again its not an mkv.

We have VLC Mobile to look forward to early 2011 lol

Pledge of $10 toward the bounty

I am pledging $10 toward the bounty.

Real hope for me is that OliPro and cmonex just make it free and get rid of the donation as a requirement to use it.

[EDIT] Adding one caveat to my pledge. Work must be completed prior to December 31st, 2011. That gives over 1 year. Considering that HardSPL is normally available pretty fast after a phone is released, this should not be a problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] F2504x4:

Added your pledges to the first post. Added the link about the SSPL RUU to the first post as well. I agree that I wish cnomex and olipro just make it free now, but if not, hopefully we can spur others into looking into this. If they remove the payment system from theirs, then the bounty belongs to them, however. I'm just trying to keep it fair for the developers AND the users. :)

Documentation on how to create a HardSPL

I think it would also be great if whoever does this, provides some clear instructions on how it was done.

Or the source code to generate it.

That way, it can be used as a base for HardSPL for future devices.

Not sure if we want to make that a requirement of the bounty or not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It would really depend on how much it would be of use to WP7 devices as this is the only one I've seen that has a payment system, and there aren't anymore WM6.5 devices coming out. I don't know enough about the SPLs to be able to make that call, but I would hope that if a new one is created, the source would be provided. I'm more interested in resolving the never-ending struggle of lack of support on the paid model. If they would simply do away with the paid Hard SPL system, there would be no problems in that thread other than users who forget to disable antivirus software...

The bottom line is that we just wanted support for the paid software we were using. Since that isn't happening, we're driven to this front. We now want it to be open to the community with no reservations.

EDIT: Vote this to the front page for more attention to the matter. The link to vote is on the right side of the header above post #1. Anyone viewing this should help spread the word. Pass the message along to any other active threads that you're involved in. We need to get this as much attention as possible to either get some assistance in its development or have cmonex and olipro release a true free version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Thinking this link might be helpful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=279804

Although it is not for this device, I think some concepts might be similar.

I think it may let us extract HardSPL from our phone.

Then, reapply it without a need to use anything else.

Once we have that, it becomes free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanmichel6:
hi sorry if i interrupt this, but, you dont have to make a donation in order to get a hard-spl. you just have to get a ticket, and soon or later, they will enable you to do that, and im talking of this because that recently happen( the only thing that its painful its the wait time... almost 1month in order to get it, but i get it!)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Added to first post. Good info. Too bad the thread didn't last longer.

Opening tickets has been hit and miss for most people having problems. Users are being forced into purchasing the tool because of a lack of support from the creators. No one is upset that they created the tool, just at the lack of support on it. You said yourself that you had to wait a month to get a response. Why not just open the application up for anyone to use as it is on nearly every other device in this forum? The Rhodium is aging quickly. There are fewer and fewer new users with this device. For them to still be charging for it is kind of ridiculous now. That's the purpose of this thread is to encourage collaboration of the users here into developing a truly free version with no hiccups or workarounds needed to eliminate the need for an entire thread dedicated to support questions where the answer is likely to be, "donate 4GBP and it'll work."
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TATDC:
Same issue here with getting new phone back from warranty. Already "donated" 4x's for my family's phones. Started a ticket explaining the warranty/new phone situation and now has been 3 weeks with no response. Stock ROM on the phone kept freezing several times a day and phone was pretty useless. Could not wait any longer so "donated" again, restarted hardsplash process again and it let me right through and unlocked phone.

Pretty rude not to respond to "customers" and bad for business. At least put on their website clearly stated that 'you must pay to unlock your phone each time!'
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] grifter024:
Once someone says they have started development on a new FREE hardspl I will donate 10$....

I would also hope that the mods delete the old hardspl so noone gets suckered into paying for something that should have always been free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Point of a bounty is to pledge that you will donate once it is complete.

Not to donate before then.

Nothing is donated until it is completed.

But, once completed, all those that pledged to donate, make their donations to whoever completed it.

It is not enforcable, but, it is a commitment. And people remember when a pledge is made, but not paid.

Is the $10 you mentioned a pledge to donate when it is completed or made free to all?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] grifter024:
You act like I wont donate the money IF it comes out....it would be a suprise if someone made a new hardspl for an old phone but it would make me happy since I usually keep my phone for a long time...

I had my shadow/juno all the way up until I think 08....then the screen started going white and I didnt feel like taking it apart just to fix it but it was a good phone.

I dont usually make it a point to check the site every day but I come back from time to time when I feel like it's time to mess with my phone some more. I will probably check back in Dec and if I am late to throw my money into the pot once its completed I say sorry now so as not to make tensions flare.

Hell I would drop another 10 IF the new hardspl comes out and the mods DELETE NOT lock the other hardspl from cmo/oli.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You guys are more than welcome to donate on your own terms, but I'm just going to keep a running total of all donations offered in the first post. The conditions I originally posted for collecting the bounty were someone making a new HSPL tool, modding the original one to be standalone, or olipro/cmonex making the original one free. If someone clears one of those three conditions, I think they should get the bounty. If anyone has any objection to that, or something to add, let me know.

EDIT: Make sure you guys are doing some PR work to get this thing out there, please. Feel free to add this thread to your sig, or comment about it in other threads (albeit subtly). Most of us who are pledging donations so far are have already got our devices HSPL'd. This is for the benefit of the community as a whole. While not as many are doing so, there are still new users popping up everyday with new TP2's in their hands asking for help. We're doing this for them. :)

Open letter to chefs/skilled users

Here is the PM I've recently sent out to dotcompt, Jackos, NRGZ28, seeM_ZA, and Sergio76. These were the five most prominent chefs in the Rhodium forum as far as I could tell. If you want me to send this to anyone else who may be helpful, let me know. Also, feel free to modify this in any way you want if you feel like sending it yourself. Just make sure to comment on who we've sent messages to, as JVH3 suggested, so that we can keep track. I'll add users we've contacted so far to post #1 for easy tracking.

New Rhodium Hard SPL

I'm hoping some of you guys can help me do a bit of PR. You are some of the better known chefs for the Rhodium development. I'm coming to you to ask if it would be possible to mention a new project of mine to garner a bit more support and attention.

It has been a long while (in mobile device years) since our Rhodiums hit the market. While I am truly grateful to the makers of the original Hard SPL, I am also frustrated with them. If you have a look at the Hard SPL thread, you'll see that over the past several months, there has been a serious lack of support of any kind to the tool. I'm not writing this to flame or demean anyone, only to explain why this message found its way to your inbox.

The vast majority of the problems are a direct result of the tool not being free and requiring input from their web server to unlock the SPL. I understand their reasons, but if this is going to happen, then their needs to be a line of support for users to use the tool. I donated $10 when I originally unlocked my device as this is the starting point to doing anything worthwhile to it. I wasn't forced into "donating." I did so because it was a fair price for a fair product. Later, when my device was exchanged under warranty, I was forced into "donating" to unlock the new device because they had collected my IP address beforehand. After waiting for the ticket to be replied to, I gave in and paid to unlock the new device.

This brings me to my point. After this long, and with this little support, shouldn't it be time to have a free HSPL tool? It isn't even about the money, really, but the "donation" system is what is causing the problems. What I am proposing is a bounty for one of three things to happen: Either someone comes up with an entirely new HSPL tool for us to use, someone modifies the current HSPL to work locally, or cmonex/olipro release the restrictions on the current HSPL for all users. Whichever is done first is the one that receives the bounty.

In trying to be as fair as possible about this, I've extended the offer to cmonex and olipro so that they may collect this bounty as well. I'm asking for you chefs to please try to reach more users if you see fit to do so, that we might get this off the ground as soon as possible. I, as well as most who have posted in the new HSPL thread already have devices that are unlocked, but would donate anyway just to see the community benefit from this.

Thank you for your time and patience.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TrainRekS:
I am a little confused by this. Isn't HARD-SPL already free ? It is the CID/SIM Unlocker that is what you have to pay for.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
A little reading before posting is always a good idea.

Such as even the post above yours.

It is only free the first time you apply HardSPL.

But, they track information to prevent you from applying it a second time, such as to a new device on a warranty replacement. Even if you voluntarily donated after your first application of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TrainRekS:
got it, didn't realize they track information with their hard-spl tool, seeing as it doesn't say that on their post (or i couldn't find it).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
From what we've gathered, they track three things: IP address, MAC address, and IMEI number. You're only allow one free unlock for all of these. Even if you move to another computer in the house with a different device, it will still refuse to let you unlock again until you pony up the cash. It's not their work we're upset with, it's the lack of support and the flawed system they use.

Oh, and thanks, JVH3, for not giving me the chance to answer that one. I probably wouldn't have been as nice about as you were. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
let's say we try and change something in the system so it's not an annoyance to personal users. what kind of change would you like then?

you do mention that someone else could be asked to help with the tickets if a few days or a week of waiting is too long when you get a replacement phone. you got any suggestions for this someone? :)

let me know. thanks
