[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
I removed it because i didnt want no other users to try what i did and end up with bricked tabs.

It worked fine for me though, so i left it there for reference reasons.

Oh, my tab came with the BUJI4 or BUJI5 i cant really recall. After that i went directly to JK5. Never went to JJ4 until couple of hours ago.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
Interesting....the PIT for JJ4 that i used was the NO_PIT that is bundled with the JJ4 firmware, which worked fine. If I use that now though, or even the EU.pit, boot.bin error.

did you use Odin 1.7 or 1.3?

Cheers mate, will give that a go. Why they don't allow you to remove the bundled apps by choice I have no idea. The fact you have to root the device to delete bundled poop is annoying!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
Odin 1.7 from the start, never touched 1.3. Read above for the firmware history of my tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
I think we need to know some details about the Tab, the files and the method (with details) used on the tab that did downgrade successfully.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
Agreed - Hopefully sedde can shed some light on how it was achieve. I assume you've had no luck trying it yourself alias_neo?

You on a CPW Tab? - Best Buy Tabs are also running the CPW Stock CSC, as they Best Buy EU is the Carphonewarehouse :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
I'm on a PCWorld Tab, currently running JK5 but I havn't tried upgrading to JM6, I can't risk it because the Tab is for work and I'm not even supposed to be changing from stock firmware (our work diectly targets the stock firmware of the device).

This is why I'm waiting on confirmation of the downgrade so that I can be sure I can get it back to stock if the device is called for an inspection.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Body:
I have the model P1000XXJK1 manufactured in Korea, you can also upgrade it to that version? I'll reread the tips and create courage to upgrade.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
Wow, that's a pretty strict policy :O

The new firmware is defo a step in the right direction. Seems smoother and more fluid, especially the browser. New keyboard is nice as well.

Worth the risk of getting a slap on the wrist haha, but still it would be nice to be able to revert! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
:D Wizard of Oz? I lul'd at "create courage".
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
Wish it was just a slap on the wrist I'm at risk of. Without the Tab I can't do my job, and if I can't do my job, I have no job. My boss has agreed to let me "modify" the tab (with a vague explanation from myself on what's involved) on the condition that it can be reset back to stock at will and that there are no risks of permenantly damaging my device (with my job as collateral).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
Allright i will try to tell you guys what i did.

My firmware was BUJI4 or BUJI5 ( which is a bundled software from vodafone. )

So immidiately after i got it i checked if there was a simlock or something like that and i downloaded odin and JK5.

I flashed JK5 with no problems using the 20100909.pit.

After that i went to JM6 with no problems.

After that i went back to JJ4 using no pit and no repartition and it did ok.

After that i went to JK5 with no problems from JK5.

Then again to JM6 but i had to reflash the dbdata.rfs.bin otherwise i wouldnt get a proper boot.

The reason i went back to JJ4 was that someone stated that it was a full flash ( which to be honest i got no idea of how you check if something is a full flash or a partion flash. ) All i know is i did it so i wouldnt miss something useful. Apparently it worked, and to be honest since you guys are getting errors, i am really creeped to try to do it again.

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
hmmm - seems a bit odd. Did you flash the PDA, PHONE and CSC files when you flashed to JJ4, or just the PDA...as it seems like you done it as a partial flash, which is why there was no need for the PIT.

Pretty sure the full JJ4 requires a PIT and re-partition. Anyone fancy trying to revert to JJ4?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
That's insteresting, I imagined that if any device was goinge to give a problem it would be a carrier one. Although Voda don't lock most of their devices (in my experience) they are always SPL'd to Voda, which is what affects the installation of firmwares.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
Taken the steps we did, flashing the right way, i take it that you got 0 chances of failing. I reproduced all the problems so far and nothing wasnt reversable. Dont think i tried to pushed you though, and tab for me is my phone and everything since i sold my old HTC HD2 and i would stay with no phone.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
No i never flashed anything else than the PDA part.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
Fancy being brave and trying to replicate it? I was brave and upgraded to JM6 (Think I was literally the 2nd person to try it!) I used up all my Courage, I'll need to go to the land of Oz and get some more! :p

Interesting, thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
My problem is not with upgrading to JM6, I know I can do that. My concern is that I MUST be able to return the Tab to stock firmware (or atleast the latest officially released by Samsung)as and when they require (my work).

Edit: Makes sense now why it worked for Sedde, cause it wasn't in-fact a full downgrade, only the PDA. This suggest to me that there has not yet been a single, know, successful downgrade from JM6 to JJ4.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] procarion:
Sorry for my noob question; i couldn't yet find an answer to that:

I have bought a branded (Vodafone Germany) tab in Germany; will i be able to flash it (with the known rest of a risk, of course)?

A working browser would be really cool, i admit.

Or is it only working for free tabs, only rooted tabs, or whatever?

Thanks!

Steve.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Volker1:
For the record, I went through recovery and even wiped everything, but PDA and CSC stay blank in the *#1234# screen.

Not that I want carrier customizations, au contraire :D Everything works fine so far.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
I will tomorrow because if i go home now and i start messing with my phone again, my gf is surely gonna kill me. I might even make a video out of it.

So do i lose something from not flashing the modem and the csc on my tab ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
Hi Steve,

You shouldn't have any issues flashing it.

Make a note of your current firmware version (Dial *#1234#) Check for the software for your device model and follow the guides directly.

When you say working browser, I assume you're on about the useragent issue with full sites?

If that's all you are worried about, JJ4 seems to fix that which is a straight forward flash. If you're new to flashing, I'd advise you to flash JJ4 then JK5 for the time being.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
As i stated, my tab is ( or was ) branded by voda.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
Did you follow my advice and boot straight into recovery once odin says PASS. Effectively, if it's showing PDA and CSC as blank, the firmware has NOT installed properly and may cause issues.

Go to recovery and the CSC should complete installing. You may need to re-flash though, then load straight into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
So do i really miss anything from not updating the modem and the csc ? ( Since everything is working properly ? )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
are you on JJ4 now or JM6?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
I am on JM6
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
You should be fine.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zafu:
can't mount /dev/block/stl10

Hi,

After flashing with odin and rebooting in recovery, I get this error:

update media, please wait

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.

copy default media content failed.

I tried re-flashing several times with odin and heimdall with the same

result.

Any idea?

...LATER...

I flashed with a dbdata.rfs and now the problem is fixed!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
Flash dbdata.rfs.tar under PDA again after flashing JM6, and you should be fine.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Volker1:
I used heimdall to flash (see my previous post), I've never used Odin. From investigating the firmware files (and heimdall) I concluded that there is nothing special about carrier customizations, they just overwrite some partitions of the base system. Do not want! :D In particular, heimdall has no way to distinguish carrier customizations from the base firrmware. My Android Settings/About device dialog shows Baseband version = P1000XXJM6 and Build number = FROYO.XXJM6. There is nothing missing except perhaps for a few trial apks from the hidden.rfs that I did not flash.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
Ah, so you FrankenROM'd it.

Cool OK dude :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hartyshow:
Hi Volker1

I think that you have modifie source of Heimdall ! Can you tell me which line do you have modified because I have a "Unexpected device info response!"

thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zafu:
Change line 252 of main.cpp to:

if (unknown != 180 && unknown != 0 && unknown != 3)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hartyshow:
Thx I do that but I have now this message :

"Local and device PIT files don't match. Functionality for this is yet to be implemented.Ending session..." !!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cirion:
Scary firmware!!!

Scary but crazy cool ;)

I especially like the new Allshare look and the way it works. Now I can actually use it to watch stuff from my NAS.

I had JK5 flashed, before flashing, toJM6 and after flashing it got stuck on the flashing screen. After a forced shutdown and factory reset, it booted to the samsung logo and wibrated endlessly.

So I tried flasing JJ4 with repartition and it failed, and after that it just started with the phone .. pc image. No way to factory reset or get to the flashing screen.

Just connectetd it as it was with the phone -- pc image and flased it again with JM6 and got back to the hanging samsung logo with wibrate.

Flashed dbdata as some suggested, and that worked! I booted straight to the setup wizard. Now everything works :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Volker1:
Interesting! Where did you get your tab and which PIT did you flash if it is not factory default?

You can use the PITinfo utility I posted here to see the sizes of the individual partitions. If they have the same size as the one you are trying to flash then you can almost certainly just take the dumped PIT and flash with that...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hartyshow:
I have flash my tab with P1000OXAJK5.tar under odin.

And now I try to use Linux. I used P1_20100909.pit.

Help!!!!!!! Bricked??

So.

I have flashed as intended in the Guide on Page 1.

After entering recovery mode on rebooting i get the "media not ready use internal ui" e.g. Message. And if i try to boot it ends in repeating vibs and stuck on Samsung Screen.

I have tryed to reflash P1000XXJK5 but get error.

I have tryed to reflash several times JM6 but still no success.

With and without repartition. With different PIT.

No success.

Wher can i get this dbdata.rfs????? :eek: :(

Please help me to unbrick my Tab!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pbruck:
Oooh my Goodness!!!

After a few more search i have found the dbdata.rfs from Rotohammer and flashed it over.

Aaaaaaand......

My Tab is alive :D :p :D

Jeah and i have JM6 installed.

So.

I think.

Help isnt needed anymore.

Poooohhhhhh....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] crippleb0y:
Noob question:

I currently have an unbranded stock euro version of the tab.

This is what I get when entering *#1234#:

PDA: P1000XWJJ3

PHONE: P1000XXJID

CSC: P1000NEEJJ2

Can I go straight from this to the JM6? :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pbruck:
@clubtech

My advice/please,

include the instruction to flash dbdata.rfs after flashing Firmware in Instructions!!!

And, please, include DL Link to dbdata.rfs in your HOWTO on Page 1.

For me it would have sav a lot of my nerves.

The half hour in that i thought to have bricked my tab ( it cost a lot of money for me and to get this money i had very much to work) was a very annoying time. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
No problem.... :) the dbdata.rfs is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9305891&postcount=1

Flash it alone with the pit file and no repartition and you are up and running again, no need to go into recovery etc after that. ( that is after the jm6 flash)

BTW You brick your device when you can't get into download mode. As long you can get into download mode you can throw anything to the device until it runs again... And yes, mine is running again with jj6 :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] martin0641:
I wonder what job could rely on a month old device as a requirement. Seems pretty cutting edge to be that integrated into what you do this early.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
Don't you feel it.... isn't it great :) (I bought mine this afternoon. Thought I was dying. But then I get it running again. Yeaaah that's flashing! Love it )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pbruck:
Thanks for your quick reply :)

As you (i think so) have seen, i have solved my problem by myself in the meantime. But once agin.

Thanks for the quick help.

That is what i REALLY appreciate and love in this Forum.

Good People with good advices and good moods.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pbruck:
Yeah.....

Thats it.

Flashing is dying and living at the same time.

Sometimes more dying... :confused:

Sometimes more living.... :D

But everytime it makes me shivering. ;) :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
I only checked my PDA version. It was JJ3 and I jumped straight to JM6.

(Don't forget to flash dbdata.rfs after you flashed jm6 and had a heartattack or two :D )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] crippleb0y:
Thanks!

One more question:

Are the PHONE and CSC versions even relevant for this update? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
That's what we do. We are flashaholics.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
I really don't know :) But the tar file contains a modem.bin so the phone gets updated too. The CSC (dbdata) is missing from the tar that's why you need to flash that afterwards. You can try to add it to the CSC slot. But I wouldn't do that. The proved method is to flash, go dead three times and flash the dbdata.rfs

[Vibrant General] aarif_ziaee:
Hi there

which gps software is best for samsung vibrant specially for middle east region i am staying in bahrain...

Please suggest thanks
[Vibrant General] ZX3ZX4:
Can you be more specific? Are you asking which app is best for determining how well your GPS is tracking and locking on to satellites? Or are you talking about the GPS software version that you might have in a rooted phone?
[Vibrant General] ColorNapkin:
I think he means to ask which is the best app with middle-eastern maps so that he can use his GPS without needing a data plan (since he is probably outside T-Mobile coverage, lol).
[Vibrant General] aarif_ziaee:
yes exactly

i was trying navigation but it shows the place where i am currently staying different where as my htc hero shows the exact place....

so just wanted to install third party software for which i wanted to know the best app with middle east maps so that i can use gps without data plan....
[Vibrant General] dbacchus:
As far as I know, there aren't that many options for android. I really liked iGo. It's a wonderful offline gps system, and with winmo it worked amazingly accurate and smooth. The problem is that the android version of iGo just sucks. The interface is horrible (a la linux 1999, no kidding). But it works and the maps are great. You can find it here on xda.

Edit: what's his majesty position on gps usage within the country? :-D

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaullikesWINMO:
You can use the phone on Rogers, but you will NOT get 3G. Trust me I'm using the phone with FIDO right now, and all you will get is Edge. The T-Mobile bands for 3G are different than Rogers/FIDO. I beleive you can run the phone quite nicely on Wind Mobile network and get 3G.
[HD2 General] larrytango:
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me.

Recently i have noticed my phone keeps losing signal, often seeing no bars are even ! , i have not performed any recent hacks / mods it just started happening.

If i change the base band from AUTO to GSM i get signal , if i select WCDMA i get ! , i am assuming that since its default at AUTO that when its switching to WCDMA its messing up (altho i really would like advice if this is true?)

i have softreset and hardreset and currently have no 3rd party cabs etc installed on my o2 stock rom yet the problem still exists.

any help people ..
[HD2 General] mb76:
How old is your sim card? I had a similar problem a couple of years back, turns out the older type sim cards aren't capable of doing 3G, walked in the store told them the problem, promptly given a new sim card, 2 hours later all up and running again.

Never used the stock rom but may also be worth checking in comm manager, there may be a toggle switch for turning 3g on or off
[HD2 General] larrytango:
originally last year when i got hd2 i had an old sim which was replaced, my stock rom doesnt have the toggle (im sure i can turn it on with a tweak) , however the problem isnt switching it on or off .. the problem is when its on my phone wont get a signal and it used to work :(

I know they will be comparing it to my HTC Desire... which is a bit unfair !!

Thanks :)

My sister has the htc And I got the lg. The lg has a higher resolution screen but the htc's screen is sensibler. The htc has stock 2.1 And there are already good working froyo roms for it.

I would chose the htc.

[GT540 Optimus General] skribbler86:
The LG will get a 2.2 Rom someday in the not too distant future, i just feel it! :) the LG screen res is better. Plus its a snappy little phone, as long as you know what to do with it and don't clutter it with useless apps. I would go for the LG every time!
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:

Wildfire doesnt have graphical accelerator but lg does . Lg ' proccesor is more powerful . Becouse of the lg's resolution optimus can run much more apps and games . And you'l get the phone for your daugher so i guess that more apps and games can be useeful .

I have had both. The LG first and then the HTC. I came back to the LG because the HTC graphics are just no where dear as good.
