[Galaxy Tab General] seongcho:
Hi there,

I have a real dumm question about the Galaxy Tab firmware upgrade.

My current version is like this:

Baseband version: P1000XXJID

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build number: FROYO.XXJID

Not sure about the PDA version. Is the build number the PDA version?

I know that I am quite far behind from the latest version and I'm wondering if the upgrading is worth while to try. If it is, my questions are:

1. The phone is unlocked and if I upgrade, isn't there any problem to keep unlocked?

2. What is the best version to upgrade of PDA and phone respectively?

3. Can I do it from JID to the latest best version directly?

4. Mine is German version but I'm using it in Canada with Bell. Anything that I have to keep in mind?

5. What is benefit of upgrade?

6. Simple guide for MAC OSX user or virtualization?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Install Samsung kies on your pc/laptop. It will update your tab to the latest official firmware for your tab's region (does not matter where your location is). You will lose root after it updates but that's about it. If your original firmware is for an unlocked set, the update will not suddenly lock it. I had to re-root using SuperOneClick again but that was it.

Not sure why I'd need to install this to check for system updates. Wouldn't doing it through the Tab itself be sufficient?

Does the samsung kies updates anything regarding branded galaxy tabs?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
I just got my girlfriend a used myTouch 3G slide. It's in great shape and appears to be functioning correctly. However, when I or anyone else talks to her, we hear an echo on OUR end. She doesn't hear an echo, but the other party does. I don't think it is a tower thing because it has been doing it this past week all over Denver and this weekend in Texas. I've searched the web and find that people have this issue here and there, but I haven't found a solution.

firmware: 2.1-update1

baseband: 47.41.35.10U_7.09.35.10

kernel: 2.6.29-293ab809htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

build: 1.35.531.1 CL216830

software: 1.35.531.1

My questions:

1. is there a fix without sending the phone back?

2. will rooting it and flashing a custom ROM like cyanogenmod possibly fix this issue or is it a hardware thing? (i'm comfortable with this as I rooted my Nexus One a while back and am comfortable flashing ROMs)

thanks in advance.

I have HTC HD7 and i am trying to get froyo sense or superRAM froyo to it. Everytime i try to download it on my phone i get an error message because windows 7 prevents 7z files. When i try to download it via USB (from my PC) my laptop only recognizes it through Zune because i am running Win Xp. Is there any way that i can bypass the 7z block?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayilm1:
Not gonna happen dude. Most basic of reasons being you can't run exe's on WP7. If it were as easy as dragging an hd2 build onto your hd7, you would have heard a lot more about it. The hd7 doesn't even have the same hardware as the hd2. Sure you may be able to get it to boot if you could thanks to the QSD8250, but you wont be able to interact because of the newer touch screen and probably won't get wireless services either.

I got pretty good battery life on v2.5. Post 624 in the same thread has the version that I feel was best of all in terms of battery life.

You can read through the thread and see people's comments on awesome battery life.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gocats7:
Downloading now, will give it a look. I have never used one of these ROM's so it will be interesting. What irritates the heck out of me is there was one version of axura that had insane battery life a while ago, there have been a few perceptions, a few cognitions but I cant remember a damn one of them...LOL.

In regards to the ROM you suggested, just checking on your opinion on GPS, speed, etc. Battery is my main goal, just curious.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicman0:
If you really want to save battery, you should probably turn down the brightness, use a completely black wallpaper, and underclock(the phone is still pretty snappy at 800mhz) and undervolt it.

But I find that the JL3 modem gives me the best battery life and best signal
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockliveson123:
I am on assonance 5.2 and I have had the best battery life ever. I turn off mobile network from the power menu popup when im not using it and I found that I got 33+ hours this past weekend.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Speed is very snappy! And GPS works too. I get a lock even when I am inside my home.

Im using Assonance 5.1 with the xcalibur kernel 2.2.1 and I'm getting about the same while still running the mobile network. I also keep it at full brightness most of the time and would say I'm a moderate user.

on di11igaf's 2.5 right now as recommended earlier. Cant say yet, loaded last night, recalibrated battery and it dropped the same over night as 2.5 axura did...but the dialer process was going nuts I found via os monitor. Rebooted and it was normal so that was not a good test of how much better it willl be. I do think it proves to me it will be better though as the dialer should be a fluke.

I was thinking of which versions of axura, etc was the best as far as battery and I think it was axura 2.4. I flash so darn often, they blur together after a while. I think perception 4 was good too, but it seemed more buggy if I recall.

Have never tried assonance, do hear good things about 4.3.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Maybe u should give it try for 3 days before u pass ur judgement :-)

using xcal kernel.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gocats7:
LOL, good point. My plan is to leave it on for the next few weeks unless it proves not to be good enough on battery which I seriously doubt (or I just cant stand not flashing!). I was just rambling what I have seen so far in that its pretty obvious it will be better since I had that runaway process and it still matched my previous battery life.

Thanks for your help and recommendation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Great!! Could you list out the exact steps u did to load this ROM. I am not new to ROMs, but just trying to know if u did anything else since u mentioned "with xcal's kernel".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Flashed stock and master cleared using odin.

Loaded rom through clockwork recovery.

Let it boot up first time. Kernel the rom comes worth is oc with ulf, which I do not care for. after first boot I downloaded xcal kernel, there us a link in the op for the rom. Went back into clockwork, made sure no lag fix was pre installed, which it was not. flash the zip through clockwork. Did battery recalibration, then ran till dead/turned off. Charged till full while off
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Ok. So to load xcal kernel, all I would need to do is to place the zip in sd card root and apply the zip through CWM. Wow, this sounds do-able. I'll try this the next time my mind itches for a new ROM flash. Thanks a bunch sir.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Outside of battery life it is a really solid rom. 2.2.1 base, stable, fast, and clean. It also had a bunch of themes you can flash that are not available on most captivate roms
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
One question here, does this ROM support backing up and restoring using CWM recovery console?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gocats7:
Do you guys feel that xcal kernel is better for battery life than setiron with oc/uv? I never oc anymore but I do uv to save battery and limit clock to 1000.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
To be honest, I hardly noticed any noticeable difference between reducing clock speed. There might be a difference, but atleast I personally didn't notice.

1. Download the ROM.

2. Download xcal's kernel.

3. Revert to 2.1 stock.

4. Go to CWM and install the ROM.

5. Boot the first time.

6. Reboot to CWM recovery, and install the xcal kernel zip.

7. Boot the phone up.

Am I missing any step(s) here?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
GUYS,

save some trouble on yourselves when you flash from ROM to ROM!

if you dont want the kernel that ships with a rom, just drop the zImage from the kernel zip that you want to use into the updates folder in the rom zip file...then you dont have to mess around with flashing rom, going back and flashing a separate kernel....you can do the same thing with modems for that matter.

its a much cleaner way of doing things.....i just dont understand the logic behind the method of flashing with the kernel that is included in the rom and then REflashing a different kernel after loading the rom.

this stuff isnt magic, most of it is common sense. try and understand how this stuff works, its actually quite simple when it comes to flashing roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Yes, I know. I am still learning . I have read that before just have not done it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gocats7:
is xcal's kernel that much better for battery life than sertions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
I am not sure. I had an issue with external card not being mounted on computer. So reverted back to v2.5 in my signature. This is my tried and tested ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
You move quickly. If you had looked at the op for xcal kernel you would see a link to correct usb mounts in 2.2.1 roms. Not much of an issue for me so I have not tried it yet but it is said to solve the issue you experienced
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Since I've work tomorrow, I had to move quickly. I'll reinstall this next friday.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
For the record I flashed the fix and my mounts worked correctly with 2 computers, a mac and a windows pc. This fix is needed for most 2.2.1 ports apparently. I have intentions on trying the rom you are on, as well though. Just have not got around to it yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Done. On docs with xcal kernel. :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] antiochasylum:
And now my tab only does a boot loop. I cant copy the stock one back over with ADB keeps giving me permission denied. I've tried everything. Any ideas? The only thing done to my tab is the clubtech flashing method to make phone calls, and its rooted, but I cant get shell root

Help
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
Put it on an sdcard (I'm sure you have other android phones to mount it with, or use ADB if the tab has it mounted)

adb remount
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/external_sd/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot

That should do it. I assume in this that framework-res.apk is on the external SD card, and that the US tab mounts it in the same place. You could aslo use adb to push framework-res.apk to /data/framework-res.apk, and copy it from there.
[Galaxy Tab General] antiochasylum:
My problem is that I wasn't getting root in the adb shell, managed to fix that and pushed the framework to the system booted just fine. Thanks man

[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
I guess **** happened...

At morning taking phone from the dock, I noticed some apps FC. And it continued sporadically along day, so at one point I simply decided to reboot. Phone turned of fine... However I was unable to turn it on immediately after. It was showing black battery. Whatever I did no dice. I even tried my wifes phone battery.

That happened on the road, so at one point I decided to plug it in. Oh miracle - phone booted with power!!! But then my troubles worsened, because I've noticed that it always shows USB connected, starts desk home in night mode, shows battary constantly charging. Stuff like this. I've tried factory reset, reflash to stock DJ05. Nothing helped. Now it getting worse, because screen started to blink when on power...

Does it sounds familiar to somebody? Need to replace?
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
After trying everything I can imagine, it is kind of obvious that I have HW failure. My problem is that in order to return it back to Verizon I need to have DI01. I did backup from recovery before flashing DJ05.

All this is fine, however I'm not sure if this backup will restore radio. I guess not. If not, how I can flash one? I'm having problems to get in download mode and I think ODIN is unable to detect port. Do we have radio zip i can flash with recovery?
[Fascinate General] mikey6p:
My first fascinate had the same problem, had to return it.
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
It seems like USB is still alive, at least partially. After countless attempts I managed to connect it computer in download mode and flashed DI01. At first it looked like it fixed the problem... However now USB indicator changes on and off constantly. If you turn it off it reappears in a few seconds. Only upside is that comp sees it and I now have unrooted DI01.

Sad. My phone was in mint condition after over 3 months of usage. Who knows what kind of refarb I'll get.

do not be an idiot like me and use the partition sd card option in rom manager. It will mess up the phone's master boot record and you will have to rewrite the original one in order for voodoo kernels or anything that modifies the boot record to work properly.
