Need more Help

Looked all over the web and developers forums for guidance on how to root and update ROM and Kernel. Very confusing and not easy to find the SW to do each task. Have downloaded any number of packages and there are no detailed instruction. Just learning how to get my Tab into Recovery mode was a struggle, but I figured it out. I am glad you guys understand all the Acronyms but us Noob's don't. I have crashed and restored my Tab at lease 6 times but I persevere.

Have a copy of SuperOneClick

Have Superuser

Have Bootloader Patch

Have ROM manager

Don't understand how to get SuperUser to unlock Bootloader

So I can root my gt-p1000n

I want to upgrade to humberos latest v20110505 ROM

& Kernel v1.2.5

Current system is:

GT-P1000N

FIRMWARE 2.2

BASEBAND VERSION

P1000LVJJM9

KERNEL

2.6.32.9

ROOT@SEP-52 #1

BUILD

FROYO.VJJM9

Help?

***Also how do I thank you guys (other than send money which I will do when I get done upgrading my Tab)

wintent, I think you almost there with all the info.. but wait. Try each step with patience.

I got my P1000N bricked, but have confidence that I will have it back this weekend. I found a good contribuitor down here in Brazil, with the right RIFF Box to revive it.

1st tip: dont mess with boot files!

2nd tip: you probably got a checksummed bootloadr, which wont let you update the rom. So you gotta crack it before playing with custom firmware updates. Thanks to rotohammer and other we have a safe tool for that already.

3rd tip: we need specific firmwares/kernels for latin P1000N and L... trying the EURO Gingerbread got me into this mess.

OBS: neither z4root, nor SuperOneClicked where able to root my Tab automatically... but with ADB shell, it was easy to figure out how to remount the system partion with write persmissions, and copy a couple of files to do it, if you're familiar to *nix.

Can't wait to have mine back.

Un-bricked and trying to move forward…

Thanks for the support alroger!

I got my Tab un-bricked with Humberos instructions. The fact that I could get my Tab into Download is all that saved me. I realized that most of the problem was low battery power. Once I got it re-charged and into DL mode the rest was pretty quick.

Humberos instructions and suggestions really made the difference.

Once upon a time I was a W2K MCSE. Computers have always come easy for me. This will too once I get the right tools.

We also got into all this trying to upgrade to Gingerbread. The new features sounded cool. Wanted to have it ready for the Wife to travel with for WiFi security, that was three days ago and she had to leave without her Tab.

I was happy when I got it re-booted last night, now I just want to do what I started out to do which is get it upgraded to the latest ROM & Kernel.

What I am facing now is trying to understand how to access the Bootloader and how to get it placed in the correct location to ROOT my Tab. Spent all day trying to make a step forward just to get stuck with the Superuser password issue. Done for the day…back at it tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alroger:
Hey, once again.. dont play with the bootloader. Root comes from a couple security breaches, and we have a couple of choices within z4root and superoneclick. Basically run it, get SU access, then get the superuser app, busybox and su in the right places.

When I mentioned BRICK... it was a BRICK. No tips nor easy ways out of that... without the bootloader, which has the download and recovery mode... I was dead. Still am... not for long.

Try this Phantom1275 is may help

Phantom1275

I understand your pain…did nearly the same thing a few days ago.

IMO the first thing to do is get it charged up from the in-wall charging adapter to a full charge, you’ll need it fully charged for this process.

Next download a copy of ODIN3 v1.7

Then download a copy of Heimdall. You will need the command line to flash your Tab

Also get a copy of ROTO-JMI-Full-v2.tar. You will need WinRAR to extract the dbdata.rfs file for your flash package.

You may also need the usb driver

.

Make sure you have a current version of KIES to sink your Tab and assist in Rooting later.

Now go the first page of this thread and follow Humberos instructions to the letter. It will work as long as you can get it into DL mode, this can be verified using Odin 1.7. I have done it several times and am pleased with the process.

humberos estoy perdido con tu kernel de gingerbread, mi tab es una P1000N y al iniciar le sale unas rayas de colores y no inicia ni me deja ir al recovery, que hago? lo instale con odin y heimdall y sigue igual incluso con una kernel de floyo me meti a CWM y instale la rom de overcome que dejaste en tu post e igual incluso cambie el PIN por el P1.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alroger:
P1000L ROM is the one with TV. Which one are you actually talking about? HumberOS ROM is based on P1000L and comes with TV working. The Gingerbread we have so far is the P1000N version, which has no TV.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alroger:
If you hold the power button and lower volume button pressed during 10 seconds or more do you get to the download mode?

If so, start over.. first thing is to flash Stock Froyo ROM.

Help Please

Hi to all,

I have a Galaxy tab unlocked, the model is the P1000N ( 3G on 850/1900/2100 and the usual 4 band GSM ), it was shipped with OS 2.2. Last week the Kies advised of an update, which was done to 2.3.3. It was very laggy and I tried to root it, the Z4mod that was working fine on 2.2 doesn't work on the new 2.3.3.

After some search I found a procedure and applied it, the problem was after that the system doesn't started anymore, so as the CMW recory was also installed with the root patch I did a factory reset, now the situation is :

- the touch screen has gone

- I can power it up and I can enter the CMW, so I can in theory instal anything that is on the SD card

- after the reset the software starts the set up procedures, as I do not have the touch screen I'm not able to set the language or move to the next screen.

So my questions are :

- is it possible to install any rom to recover the touch screen ?

- is there a way to start the software ?

- I did a mistake of not doing the back-up of the original stock rom.

- Is there a way to return to the previous rom ?

I confess I'm lost with the many information I've found, as much as I read I'm more confused about what is the correct approach to fix this, at least from all I've read it seems the Galaxy is not bricked.

Can anyone help me ?

I'm on TIM in Belo Hte.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pliniosf:
Regarding my last post, just to add more information:

Odin can connect to the tab, Kies doesn't connect, anyway the USB drivers seems to work in this case, if I get the touch screen I think it will be possible to set the preferences scren(s) and get it back, after that it will be possible to see the rooting question and also the lag problem.

it comes up an error:

Hi Humberto

Thanks for this post.. Can you post an alternative link to download the ROM, as Multiupload is currently down.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madagua:
Now, you need download P1000L stock ROM (Password is "samfirmware.com"):

P1000L

Uncompress .rar

Uncompress .tar

You will see:

boot.bin

cache.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

gt-p1000_mr.pit

hidden.rfs

modem.bin

param.lfs

Sbl.bin

zImage

Now, using Heimdall command line, you will flash boot files.

Be careful!

Its very IMPORTANT...

Its works ONLY on P1000N or P1000L devices.

$ heimdall --help

You will get this result:

Command for recover:

heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin

Hi Humberos,

I went through the processes to recover as directed, i was able to get to only two modes: Recovery and download mode but it won't boot to normal screen. Before I got to this point of my P1000N, I had stock Gingerbread which was rooted with SuperOneClick and bootloader patch apk as I tried the overcome Rom I ran to black screen. With your posting I'm so excited to be out off it. Now what do flash to go back to Gingerbread or upgrade Overcome normal system?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Cret:
Sorry if this is covered somewhere - have searched and browsed to no avail so reluctantly, I'm asking!

In the settings for my email accounts on wp7 there are details for the scheduling (ie how often you receive emails to your phone) but I cannot see anything that dictates exactly what you want it to download for each email.

Eg if you have a limited data account you might not want all attachments, and restrict to email headers only or something like that. Or limit to xxKB or xMb etc.

Any idea? WinMo and Android allow this and I'm sure the settings must be on there somewhere but I think I'm being dumb as I can't see it!!

Like WP7 so far (I haven't fixed the live services yet though even though it's activated), but a few minor things I'd LOVE to see fixed if possible:

Ringtone volume - even at 1 out of 20 it's very loud. Not good control at all!

I think I saw info about registry changes to fix this but I can't until I get chevron working. :rolleyes:

Font size in emails - it's huge! I want to be able to fit much more emails on the screen at once. I'm not blind so I don't need them THAT big. :D

Any suggestions (to any of these!) welcome, thanks.

And sorry again if I've missed stuff already posted. Don't want flaming really!!

Guys,

This new transparency effect on Wildpuzzle made by JoeyDelp is amazing :D

But, when I try change the background image on lockscreen the image keep solid, it loose the transparency effect. And, I don't know how to change the background image in the notification area. :(

Somebody knows how to change this images but keep the transparency effect? :D

I whant know this to apply the effect glass rain, like this: http://www.desktopedia.com/bulkupload/Windows/part2/Rain Drops on Glass.jpg

I think will be nice!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
For the lock screen, change the img to png, edit the opacity with photoshop or gimp. Save as png and rename to jpg.

Notification background is status_bar_background, edit the opacity with photoshop/gimp.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Onisciente:
Alright!!! Thanks Kevin :D I'll try it at home ^^ and reply here.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Onisciente:
Don't work =(

I tried several times and... nothing!

Open on image on gimp, add alpha layer, set opacity, save as .png and change to .jpg... and... nothing =/

Can you send me anyone img with this effect?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
ya. really doesnt work.. dunno how he do it..
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Marc.:
Ok, i'll try to explain:

1. go to this site http://pixlr.com/editor/

2. Open your image in there.

3. on the right side there's a opacity slider, change that to the transperant effect you want.

4. Save it as a .png it anywhere.

5. Rename the image to htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg

6. download the 0301 package from the Wildpuzzle topic.

7. open it with winrar, and insert in in there in the folder System/customize/resource/

There's a image called htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg replace it with yours, ( just drag it into that folder.

8. Close the WINrar archieve,

9. Copy it to your SD card.

10. Flash it on your phone!

11. Congrats you've got a new transperant lockscreen! :)

This worked for me, if it doesn't work for you i'll try it myself if you send the picture, I'm only getting a you may not hotlink image.

Edit:

I think he just made the image, and copied to his SD card and set as lockscreen wallpaper using the settings.

That just doesn't work.

Edit 2: If you don't get anything i'll expand my instructions with images. Maybe i'll try to make a guide myself :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
When it rename to Jpg, the box will still come out. SAid transparent not supported
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Marc.:
I've done it that way I said. And it worked for me.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Onisciente:
Nice, I think it will work :]

Had generated the image, changed to jpg. Was transparent in the pc (did with gimp) but when I opened the phone called the opacity. Even with the original image (htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg) the effect was lost opaque. So it's like I imagined, need to run a pack to let the transparent effect. Thanks, I'll try this at home :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Onisciente:
Hey Marc., Do not work = /

I guess it did not work because you entered the pack (the 301) is to clear the notification area and not change the lock screen.

But I got the rom 00001_0.8v and changed the picture for me. And it worked =]

So, I think just having the pack change lockscreen.

Anyway, it worked = D and thanks for the app http://pixlr.com/editor/
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] karthikk5955:
I changed the wallpaper nd I lost the transperancy.....now I can't get it back again....i dont mind the stock wall paper....any idea if I can get it back???
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] D c I o C w A:
Hi karthikk5955,

What format is the image in? jpg or png?

The more common file formats that support transparency include GIF, PNG and TIFF, of the 3 mention you wanna use .png

So you you can go to pixlr

Edit the image transparency,

Click File, Save and on the save screen you'll find a "Format" drop box, make sure you change that to PNG before saving.

Enjoy

[Nook Color General] alcalc76:
Hi and good morning.

So i had successfully rooted my nook at the start of this year, had it all setup with my apps, etc.. and well i also had a ton of apps for my 4 yr old on there. She was using the hell out of it and last night i looked over at her and i noticed that the Nook was rebooting. I didnt think much of it but then i saw it booting back up to the original OS, not the screens I have gotten familiar with seeing. Im not 100% sure, but im 99% sure that somehow she navigated to the settings of the NOOk and selected "Erase & Deregister Device". Ugh, im crushed.

But just wanted to check a few things before i root again:

1. I have to imagine it is okay to root again, correct?

2. What software could i have been using to have a nice little backup of the items that i had been using? Is there any you are using?

3. My next step will also be find an app that only allows certain programs to be open by my daughter.

I guess I should maybe take advantage of it being set back to the original today and go over to B&N and read for free for the hour.. :)

Thanks --- Aaron
[Nook Color General] cruxx:
Hi there :)

1. Yes

2. I use either appmonster or titanium backup. Which if you like it is worth paying for paid version. That way if you have to do a restore you don't have to constantly click install.

3. Anyone have an idea about this one?
[Nook Color General] fprice02:
3. Try using a separate launcher for your daughter. i.e. Use Zeam/ADW/LP for your home screen, then use one of the others for your daughter. You can setup her screens the way you want and "hide" the settings icon as well. You wouldn't be able to have a default launcher but it would give you the ability to limit what your daughter can and can't use.
