[Galaxy 3 General] davidmat86:
In the 'Galaxy 3 Dev' forum, there are plenty of posts dealing with this issue.

You can look for them in the XXJPB or XXJPA firmware discussion threads, or the big rooting/upgrading/... thread.

For sake of brevity: reflashing with an older, stock firmware (preferably eclair) usually fixes the problem.

Edit: This issue has no relation to the rooting process, only to the firmware flashing process. (You don't need a rooted phone to flash a firmware, nor will trying to root your phone fix this issue.)

How can I install on my Polaris WM 6.5 after install Android 2.1(it works)

on the same??

activesync does not work because the device has become Android Phone.

Hard Spl can still work?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:
you have to enter hard spl manually by resetting your phone while pressing camera button.

then you will be able to flash your phone normally

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Run the official RUU manually while your phone is connected via your PC.

You should be able to download it from here via shipped-roms.com

EDIT: Ah.. just read what you mentioned about it being stuck in a bootloop.

Once you download the RUU, like to your Desktop, power off your phone (pull out the battery, and put it back in) (this will switch off your phone)

Hold volume down button. and while holding it press the power button. When the white screen (Bootloader) appears that means you are on the right track (if it doesnt, do the same thing again, power off your phone, and try again)

Now plug in your phone to your pc. (With usb cable) and on the phone it should say HBOOT USB PLUG (white letters with blue background behind the letters)

Press Power button again. Just a short press)

Now there should be "FASTBOOT USB" (white letters with red background behind the letters)

Don't touch the phone anymore

On your PC, start the file you downloaded, and follow the on screen instructions. This installation will take some time, like 15minutes.

After Reverting from the gingerbread, I used odin to flash JFD ODIN

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

and now when it boots up it shows t-mobile and then galaxy s then it shows nothing on the screen and the 4 buttons stay lit up!

Can someone please help, I'd appreciate it was a gift from my gf and I really hope its not bricked a few days after I got it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
You might want to check your files for Odin then try to odin again or just try to get into recovery and flash another rom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
Find yourself a 2.1 kernal and flash that. You probably still have a 2.2 kernal on the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frito37:
Well when I get into recovery How do I flash a rom... I cant stick any files onto my phones memory and it doesnt detect my external sdcard file named update.zip.

Is there a way to transfer files onto the phone without boooting it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
If you have a sd card reader you can put that in your pc and download a rom on it but I'm not sure how you would copy it onto the internal sd I surprised you don't already have a 2.2 rom on there but there are a couple of roms on the team whisky website that can be loaded with odin you could try one of those

http://www.teamwhiskey.com/

Edit: this man could be correct but I flashed gb from sombionix I had voodoo enabled and used odin to jfd and didn't have this problem but he might be right
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeleon:
you didnt disable voodoo... download eugenes froyo that doesnt brick flash it through odin and then flash back to whatever you want
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Molezou:
I had the same problem using JFD Odin ROM. It worked for me when i used JI4 ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellette:
This is the correct answer. I always do this and it solves all problems since it comoletely wipes, but after eugenes I then odin jfd and then I start the flashing again.

By the way, you can send him his 5 bucks now.

[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Ok... I am a die hard NON apple kind of guy. My wife bought her Iphone a year ago leaving me and verizon to fend for ourselves. Then I suggested she buy a Mac book as she has been slamming windows for as long as we have been married. So, after loving angry birds on my Gtab for the past month, I thought, what a perfect gift for her (and me to compare) an IPAD would be. So I bought her one for Christmas.

I have to say, the screen really is fine. The lighter weight and the form factor is sweet too. But, to have to have an app (which they do have an app for everything many free for sure) to view most web sites in a "standard" mode such as to see video on them etc., I still can not see that. And, no add on memory and no real interface... the battle is on!

I will update you periodically as I try and see it from an Apple user perspective.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That IPS screen is very nice. Did some after Xmas shopping today and took another look at the iPad. It's the one thing that really stands out on the iPad, versus the GTab.

I know that, in time, Android tablets will catch up (Notion Ink? please don't be vaporware).
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Hold off, since rumors of some form of USB, microsd, and additional camera functionality will not die in regard to iPad 2011 models.

I can not look at the iPad display, since I then have to reacclimate to G's dispaly. ;) ..... :( .... ;)

Man, just think of the Gtablet with at least a Galaxy Tab level display.....
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Here's my guess on the iPad v2 - it will almost certainly have a camera. Makes sense for Facetime.

A USB port and / or a microSD slot would be a major shocker, so I highly doubt that would happen. It goes against the walled-garden approach that Apple loves so much.
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
I have been an iphone user for two years. You may heard this before but lack of flash of support equals COMPLETE FAIL as I an an avid news junkie and enjoy news clips.

Now if only Netflix and google can work out their differences and bring official support for streaming netflix to droid devices then I will be switching to droid in the spring when my phone contract is due for renewal.

PS, I have owned an apple PC and it would not run 1/5th the software that was available while the apple had software support for virtually NOTHING that I needed on the PC and couldn't get.

My brother and I had this same argument about a year ago where he was praising the superiority of the Mac, about a month later he embarrassingly admitted to me I was absolutely right about the Apple causing him to not have acess to most of the software out there.

At the time I bought my last Dell laptop I spec it out with the 2G Duo Core, a wireless N1 card, a Geforce mobile GT8600, a 7200spd hard drive and 2G of Ram. I went to the apple web site and spec' out the SAME configuration, it was over $1,000 MORE!

Same hardware, LESS software, nearly double the price.

Come on...how is that EVEN a contest? I have since upgraded that same laptop to Win 7 32b and it STILL runs like a champ (do you think that would have been the case with a macbook?)

By the way, my viewsonic (although a tad buggy at this time) was 25% cheaper than an ipad and the only real advantage I can see of the ipad was superior screen while it has weaker hardware, and I am 100% confident that the Droid 2.2 and coming honeycomb will equal or surpass the ipad in the coming year.

Gauntlet thrown, Apple failed.

I do love my iphone but I have physically thrown it after getting literally thousands of video errors with flash videos news sites not to mention the fact that the vast majority of "apps" are just dumb downed versions of web pages that I do not really care for (there are quite a few with functionaity for actual mobile use but many apps are just "internet for idiots". What I am saying here is that I am not impressed with "who has the most apps" I just need certain specific ones (which you can get from EITHER company pretty much).
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I personally have a love/hate relationship with Apple.

My first laptop was a greyscale PowerBook, I've used all the older pre-10 iterations and I think OSX is an outstanding achievement. But iOS just burns me up and I can see that they are expanding this walled-garden mentality into their Mac products, as well. No standard external ports like USB, no external storage, nothing allowed on the device except through iTunes, no Flash just because Jobs is pissed off that Adobe dumped them for MS. I just hate that with a passion. And the iPad v1 is the culmination of everything I loathe about them.

But, it does have a really nice screen. :D
[G Tablet General] popezaphod:
I am a veteran of the Windows/Mac Wars of the 90s and the one thing I learned is: If it does what you want and I can run what I want, then I don't care what you run. If you like Apple, if you like Win7, if you like Linux, if you like iOS, if you like Android, if you like webOS... then bully for you! I happen to like some of those myself, so whoop de do!

But tell me my platform sucks or try to spend 30min telling me WHY my platform sucks, well, I have better things to do, thanks.

I gave my iPad to my wife to read her Kindle books on. I bought my gTablet on November 17th, and I have not missed my iPad. I am loving my gTablet, and it is just getting better and better with time. I am running TNT Lite 3.1.2 on mine. With flash, adhoc wi-fi support, and the full market, I am plenty happy. I am looking forward to the bright future of the gTablet. :D

Doing some research on video out on the IPAD. It has a selection of cables for composite, component and vga, but guess what? Only very few apps output to video such as movies, photos and not much else.

When I hooked up my HDMI to my dock today, EVERYTHING I saw on the screen was showing on the big screen.
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
You are far more qualified than me to make this assessment but if you are only designing your OS to have functionality with very specific in house written end user software, I would think it would be EASY to achieve a tighter higher performaing OS.

Do the circumstances of how osx exsists in the first place not SIGNIFICANTLY diminish its level of "oustanding" as an achievement?

Fair points. Although unfortunately for all of us here, if a thing sucks it is going to suck regardless of what any individual really thinks. Suckage is an absolute and will be unaffected by all the good will of the world. Rotten meat will not become premium meat because 1000 people love it. Unfortunately this seems to be the casse with apple. In the 80s A Team and Knight Rider were top shows, just because people were watching did not make them actually good. Just because lots of people are buying Ipads does not over come the facts of an absolute and unavoidable conclusion based on the facts (listed above about ports, camera, storage devices, flash, cost, etc etc.). Its not really about convincing or anyones opinion. Its just a fact that it sucks, kind of like how the world is round (regardless of if anyone likes said fact or not).
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
LOL, well your credibility for providing a non-bias Apple user perspective is tainted by stating you're a "die hard NON apple kind of guy". :D jk. My sister in law has an Ipad and I think its just a great big Ipod touch which is actually a compliment. It's so smooth and pretty to look at. Did you download skyfire on the Ipad? I heard it was out as an app. I'm curious to see how it runs on the Ipad.

Let us know.

Thanks
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
I agree, a ff camera will be on the Ipad 2. You know Apple was gonna do that anyways but decided to leave it out so people will be more likely to upgrade. That's why I'm so leary when buying apple products or any product for that matter. I want it to have my minimum requirements at least for me to consider buying it.

I also agree that it will not have expandable memory which is a shame.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I think folks will be surprised and there will either be USB function, or micro sd options (both?). The only thing holding Apple back from complete market domination are those issues and people that hate Apple. Though Apple can do nothing for the latter, they can compromise with the former.

There should be some decent "leaks" in about a month. We shall see.........
[G Tablet General] racedog:
My first computer back in the late 70's was an Apple ][. That was back in the days of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Even back then it was clear that the Woz only really cared about the technology and Jobs only really cared about the money. I was an avid Apple defender back then but a few years later we had Apple taken over, Woz and Jobs were out and Peter Skelly was in. Skelly had been the CEO of Pepsi Cola and his knowledge of technology consisted of being able to flip the on/off switch on lights, computers and various electrical items. Eventually he had the sense to bring Jobs back in.

Here's the problem, Jobs is glorious at design and ergonomic functionality, he is also a true technophile. He designs magnificent looking machines with super friendly GUI's that people love. But, once you get past the look of his machines you find that they offer simple AND limited functionality, and that is the very reason that the great masses love Apple machines.

Because people love the look and feel of the machines they are willing to pay bloated prices for what they see as "superior" technology when really the only thing superior is the physical design and ease of use for the technically unannointed. That is GREAT business, but lousy geekiness.

You can't knock Apple's ability to design machines that sell and make piles of money and you can't knock their success. For me, the problem is that I don't want to give them my money anymore because their machines aren't "fun".

My first priority is that my techno gadgets be functional and a close second is that they must be fun. Apple doesn't fit into that nook. Even so I did buy three Mac's a couple of years ago and found that their build quality was poor and that surprised me a lot. But in business, public perception is a bigger selling point that anything else and Apple got that right, too bad they didn't get the technical end right.

[G Tablet General] androidmonkey:
I came across this old thread while researching the GTablet. The only thing that is really holding me back from buying one is the screen. The videos I see on Youtube make the screen look really bad, especially one that has a side by side comparison of the Gtablet vs Ipad. Since the GTablet has been out for awhile now, are those who own it still happy? I need to find a B&M store that has one so I can check it out, I really wish it had an IPS screen like the iPad though. I dont get why somebody doesnt come out with a killer Android tablet that can really compete with the iPad.
[G Tablet General] chucktate:
I picked the gtab because I like to customize the gtab and try different Roms. I am very happy with mine using vegan tab. Flash has been a big bonus. The screen works surprisingly well. Sure, its not perfect, but this gtab has some power and is 400 bucks less than xoom. If you like out of the box OS and don't like to tinker, then get the 16GB iPad from best buy for $399. Battery life on the gtab is awesome. I wake up at 4am and use it throughout the day and heavy use by evening. I will have several hours left on the battery when I go to bed around 9pm. Try Office depot, as many have them in stock to play with. Good luck.
[G Tablet General] weijiajun:
So I was having the same issues before I picked up the gtablet, and having used it for a few days, the screen isn't really that bad. I also love the more widescreen aspect of it vs the ipad allows for better media watching. But it does mean you have to dive more into the device and its setup (custom roms, etc) and if that is daunting to you then I would skip the gtablet.
[G Tablet General] androidmonkey:
No issues with geek stuff like flashing ROMs. Ive been an Android user since the G1, member here on xda since then. I currently have a SGS Vibrant, rooted with Bionix.

So, what would you compare the screen to? I have a nearby Office Depot, will try to check it out tomorrow. Is the GTablet the best thing going right now? From the specs, it seems so. One last thing, what are you using to protect it? Screen protector? Case?
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
With the newest official and unofficial VS update, you may not need to use an alternative ROM.

I would compare the screen directly to a netbook screen. It is by no means imho as horrid as some would have you think, but it's not for everyone. Some people feel you should be able to see what's on the phone/tablet screens while they sit flat on a desk and you're in a chair - while I think it's nice to be able to, I certainly don't think it's necessary to enjoy it and this is just something again, imo vendors have used to inflate the cost of these devices beyond their 'real' practical value. "why is our tablet $800 when so and so is selling one with the same internals for $300? well, have you SEEEEEN our screen? BIG difference!" yeah, you get my drift.

Spec-wise, I think it's a toss-up between the GTablet and it's siblings (interpad, hanspree tablet, malata zpad, avent vega, etc.) or the Notion Ink Adam. As you probably know, the iPad is pretty nice but it's def. lacking in terms of (imo, again) certain little details where the GTablet and other Android devices with similar specs excel and you would have to either learn to live in Apple's walled garden or do some 'techie' stuff in order to jailbreak anyway. Is it the BEST right now? I don't know - probably not. It was released in Nov. 2010, there's bound to be something with similar specs and a 'better' screen by now, if not then yeah it's probably the best VALUE for what you get as of right now.
[G Tablet General] ~BAM~:
I would have got her an ipad too.

Don't get me wrong I love my gtab, but I exhaust so much time modifying and fixing my own one. I don't mind that for myself but stuffed if I'm gonna spend my entire free time fixing someone elses tablet. Ipad can't do as much but in return I don't have to ever look at it or maintain it hence freeing up my spare time.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Thanks for reminding me o my old post. I have to say, I think my G Tablet wins. We went on a long trip last week and before we left, we had to dump her memory contents because the 16GB was nearly used up and we had no room for loading movies. Then, while we were gone, we had to buy the camera card accesory so she could load our pictures from our camera onto her tablet.... the lack of interface alone and separate memory is a total deal breaker on the Ipad.... and the Ipad 2 still lacks BOTH of these needed features.
