I'm having the same problem. I flashed the Kernel and Recovery from Step 1 through Heimdall but it hangs at the Samsung screen.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 0vermind:
Perhaps the bootloader is locked? That would explain why whenever I try to flash something, it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hammer4203:
I can't find anything on the vzw tab having a locked boot loader.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chris49424:
Hammer

Hammer listen ok you don't need to have CMW to install this Rom! This rom will give you the Voodoo CMW that your trying to get.

Listen you need to download Odin3 , and the file for Odin3 from the first page of the OP. It will be the 3rd option I believe! download this to your desktop.

After you have downloaded odin3 open it on your desktop. 2nd take you tab and hold down power & the volume down to load into download mode on your tablet. It will be a big yellow android with a shovel.

3rd Plug in your tab via usb and in the odin program it should recognize your tab as a com! if it don't then you need to download the files for your tab if the computer didn't do so.

4th put a check in the pda box, then click on pda to direct it to the file you downloaded from the OP the voodoo file. Don't change anything else on the odin program.

5th click start it will begin to flash the rom after it says pass the tab will begin to reboot do not unplug this at anytime. You will get a scramble screen it's fine ok. let it do it's job a lady will even speak giving you a peace of mind. then go to step 2 in the OP to be sure you have it install correctly. :)

Thanks chris! Just wish this thunderbolt would quit going stupid.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] o2sys:
i tried many ways (except Odin) to get this rom working and the simplest way was to factory wipe, then download VZW Bootstraper from the market and nothing else. PLug your SGT through USB and transfer the ROM .zip file to the SD Card. Then flash using the bootstraper app and it will do its thing and reboot into CWM mode. Don't restart or anything, just select install from SD Card, select the .zip file and it will install the rom, shouldn't take that long.

I kept installing CWM/ROM Manager from the market and thats what it was giving me trouble. The moment i tried without installing ROM manager it went smoothly!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hammer4203:
The file for fixing auto rotate keeps locking me on the samsung logo on reboot. I have reflashed EC02 and Voodoo 3 times trying to get it to work. Anyone got a clue as to why when I set permissions and change the file in system/lib/hw it does this?

Needless to say I have had a crash course in fixing a brick today! But at least I have learned what not to do!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Which file are you using? The sensors.default.so or the gralloc one? It should be the sensors file that is attached to the board (after extracting it from the archive, that is).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hammer4203:
The sensor file. How big is it suppose to be? As soon as I replace the file and try to reboot it hangs at the samsung screen.

I'm on the Sprint version of galaxy tab, and I have flashed this V4 with heimdall 1.2 command line all with no issues, upon first reboot into CWM I did the following: factory data reset, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, enable voodoo upon reboot, enable system voodoo. reboot. voodoo commences without a hitch, completes and reboots into CWM Ok. now i reboot and stuck at samsung screen. i can reboot into CWM all day long, but thats it. any ideas?

my roommate is after me to fix his tab for his vegas trip this weekend... unless i get this to work looks like he's gunna have to settle for stock rooted! lol

DL21?

So is there anyone trying to do anything with the recent VZW OTA update? I believe it's DL21 correct? It supposedly fixes all the HID bluetooth issues. I'm putting together a build environment so I can take a stab at hopefully getting it into a update.zip so us sprint losers can reap some of the benefits too.

@Boushh In your signature you're saying you are running CM7 on your Verizon Galaxy Tablet, either you're full of hot air :p or you know something/are working on something I don't know?

Also my accelerometer isn't working after flashing your kernel and recovery. Is this a known bug? :(

[RESOLVED] ......Help please!

Hi guys I have a question I was using KhasMek Voodoo plus v5 for about a week. Then my niece decided to play around with the tab and did a factory reset within the settings, privacy, factory reset! I woke up this morning getting ready for work and seen it was stuck at the Samsung boot screen. I tried to do a restart but was brought right back to boot screen once again. I figured it was a soft brick! :mad: I mean at last my tab was running beautiful quick smooth and whatnot.

Anyways I was only able to do the following boot into download mode. So I did a hour search on finding a stock rom. I was led to the section with Sprint CDMA almost stock rom without radio. Since I use it only for the WiFi. I flashed via Odin3 and was successful in bringing my tablet back to life.

The problem I'm running into now is when I try to run this kernal again it just hangs at the boot screen were the women just says two mins remaining but it never finishes.

I do the flash and I get a pass sector via odin3 and the screen dose the color scramble like it did the first time. After that the women will then stop talking and the tab will then once again sit at the samsung boot screen.

Am I screwed? I tried searching for a fix but have had no luck. I tried putting in my error in so many different ways I always end up with a search that is not any reference to what i'm searching for. Any help in advance is greatly appreciated.

P.S. Why would my tab soft brick during a factory reset in the first place? is this normal, if I need to do a factory reset should it be done via CMW? thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chris49424:
please help!!

Anyone have a fix for this issue I even flashed this via Heimdall and end up back at the samsung boot menu and it just stays there!!!!!!

Since I flashed back to stock with root dose this mean I can't flash this anymore.

what am I doing wrong should i partition the drive thanks in advance everyone.:(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Before you try to boot with the new kernel, go into CWM recovery and turn off VooDoo Lagfix. This will prevent the kernel from trying to convert your filesystem to ext4. Maybe it will finish booting then.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chris49424:
Thanks man I didn't even think to do that damn!!! I had to reinstall stock and start from scratch. I had to re-flash the EA28 via odin3... then reroot with easyoneclickroot

It's nice to know that if something goes wrong i have all the files to always go back to orginal stock firmware with 3g radio.... lol so i'm now able to test anything without a little less stress. Thanks for the advice man I forgot i needed to turn off the lagfix that's my fault i should of read more sorry Devs and other members for my post when i should of read the op.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shawheim:
ok did the update fix last night and rerooted via super one click. everything is working great. is it safe to try to flash this kernal through SGS kernal flasher again?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chris49424:
Shawheim if you reflash this kernal and it begins to work please tell me how you did it?

I also screwed up and had to do a reflash and reroot via super one click! But whenever

I to reinstall the kernal it will install it i'm able to boot into Voodoo CMW. But that is

far as it goes it won't boot past samsung logo. After I installed the V4 and I wait over

a half hour it still sits at the samsung boot screen. I can restart the tab and load

CMW. I'm so lost please if you get your's working please tell me thanks...

Sprint CDMA Tab
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] namaseit:
Are you getting errors at the ext4 conversion when it goes into CWM? I had to pull out my 16gb micro sdcard and use a 1gb one cause it said it could not read my 16gb one for some reason. After that it did the conversion just fine.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shawheim:
i havent tried to flash it yet. im a little concerned about doing it since im new to the Galaxy Tab rooting game. its much different than rooting and flashing on my EVO. i only wanted a better kernal. didnt really care about CWM or flashing a new rom. there arent many for the verizon tab. so i guess once we hear a response from the other members ill give it a go.

Need some help!

I just got the Sprint Galaxy Tab, rooted with SuperOneClick, then tried flashing the kernal with SGS Kernal Flasher. Everything seemed to go fine, but now I am stuck at the Samsung screen. If I try to boot up with Vol up and Power, I just get Samsung. If I do vol down and power I get the Droid with a shovel download screen. What can I do, or am I screwed?

Having an issue with my SD Card here.

Using the built in Samsung file explorer I can see all my SD card contents. In Settings, it also shows the SD card as mounted and the correct size.

Using Root Explorer or EStrongs Explorer I can only see a folder called "VooDoo".

This folder is not visible in the built in Samsung file explorer.

I popped in the SD card from my DX and it's the exact same thing, built in file manager reads the complete contents (minus the "VooDoo" folder) and Root Explorer sees ONLY a VooDoo folder, which I don't understand since this sd card is from a different device...

Any ideas here?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ad720:
Did this: Go into the advanced menu, turn off voodoo lagfix and voodoo system lagfix. Now Reboot, you should fully load into android. Reboot into recovery and enable the lagfixes. Conversion should happen successfully now.

Now my files are showing correctly, I was able to do the auto-rotate fix and I'm in great shape!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] moviemanjeff1012:

This doesn't appear to work on a Sprint Tab with build EB28. I've tried flashing v4 with both Heimdall and SGS Kernel Flasher with the same results. Cannot get past the Samsung logo boot screen. And cannot get into Recovery Mode. Might need to try first getting CWM on the Tab and then flashing v5 directly. Can anyone speak to the contrary?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] matthewflinchbaugh:
It sounds like you are on the right track. Get cwm then flash the zip.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] moviemanjeff1012:
Been working at this for three days, and after a few almost bricks, I have finally got it!!

I did a full system restore with the leaked Sprint updater. Once it was restored and rooted, and had CWM on it, I did not do the Android System update fyi, I just put the v.05 zip on my and flashed from there. Presto everything is working fine!!

Front and Rear facing cameras work and so does GPS. About to do Android system update, will let you know if that breaks anything!

UPDATE: Just tried to do system update and it did not go through. Stuck on EA24 right now. Anyone have any idea on getting up to EA28?

UPDATE 2: So as it seems, if I stay on EA24, I can have CWM and the 1.4 Kernel, but no EB28. Tried reflashing stock kernel and got the brick again. Going back to stock, updating to EB28 and then will try the direct .zip update through CWM. Will update with the results...

UPDATE 3: SUCCESS!!! Flashed back to stock. Updated. Rooted. CWM. Flashed Kernel straight from CWM. Applied rotation fix. Everything is groovy!!! Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm trying to do the same thing. How did you get CWM on to your Sprint Tab? I tried following this thread to a T, yet when I get into ClockworkMod Recovery it fails to mount /system. Says "/system may be rfs. Checking...". "Filesystems need to be converted to ext4".

/data, /datadata, and /cache seem to be just fine.

It also fails to mount the /sdcard so I can't flash some other kernel from within CWM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ad720:
If this helps, I didn't do anything except for what was in this thread. Using Sgs kernel flasher with the v4 kernel is what put CWM on the tab.

Edit -

Did not see your post earlier about trying to flash CWM since you were having issues...sorry.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] onlinespending:
I for whatever reason cannot get SGS Kernel Flasher to work. Reboot is just frozen at the Samsung logo. This after restoring to EA24, updating to EB28, and rooting.

But I seem to be able to flash v4 of the kernel via Odin. Problem is it doesn't complete the boot process, seems to in an endless loop at the Samsung logo (not frozen however). I can go into CWM but for some reason I cannot seem to disable the Voodoo lagfix. It always shows the next boot as being enabled. Am I missing something?

FYI, when I go into CWM I see the following errors consistently.

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log

And when I boot, I get a video glitch that momentarily fills the screen with multi-colored garbage. This whole process is frustrating to say the least.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] onlinespending:
Well seems like I solved my problem. Not entirely sure why, but when I swapped in a small 1GB sdcard I was able to flash this Kernel without issue. Using the 16GB card that came with the Sprint Tab didn't work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] o2sys:
Try not to use sgs kernel flasher. If you have the Verizon tab, just download the vzw bootstrap from the market.

Have the rom installed on your SD card and reboot into clockwork recovery and select install from SD and continue.

as a word of warning I would not suggest using Astro file manager with SMB module. It locked up, killed my tab. Then after rebooting all my apps force close, wifi only returns an error and doing a factory data wipe and /cache clear and dalvik cache clear does nothing. It completely ruined my tab forcing me to flash stock and having to redo the whole damn thing.

That is the only question that really matters here anymore. Looks like it has been some time since he has posted anywhere on XDA...my hope is that he is simply taking a break and I hope he is alright.

In the interim, I am back to stock kernel and rom with vzw update. I am awaiting a daily driver release of HC by spacemoose1.

Stock is good enough for me until then. It is actually a little refreshing after dealing with the little troubles here and there with the custom kernels and roms. Android seems a lot like windows in that it is good to just go back to stock every so often and install only the apps you know you will use.

On top of this, my tab has been on boushh's variants of kernels and roms since long before the vzw update, so I am just now getting a chance to see the difference the update made. Honestly, I never had a good reason to move away from stock but my curiosity got the best of me.

[BOUNTY]Now that you have achieved your main goal....

I have a request. More of a bounty.

15$ - Working kernel with speed bins upto 1.2GHz

10$ more for - Working kernel with speed bins upto 1.4GHz

This would include:

Bins

over volt to reach 1.4 stable.

I like to live on the wild side. And right now you are the only worth a damn kernel in town.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
deal.

Okay, so, I was playing around with overclocking my kernel last week and just wasn't really feeling it, but your carrot dangled in front of me was enough to spark my interested again.

I spent a couple hours optimizing a lot of things in addition to overclocking it, you will notice the kernel is about 300KB smaller now too, not much I know, but it's zippier even at the stock clock speeds too. I'm using this apk to control the voltage and stuff too, so you might wanna grab it. I haven't done extensive testing on battery life, but I'm going to give it a day or two and see how it fares. I hope the rest of you enjoy it as much as I am.

Oh, some screenshots maybe?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
I hear ya. Mine's on its way back to Samsung as well. I'm not even sure what the deal was.

I could get into download mode (and every once in a while, recovery) and even flash the stock firmware that was posted.

However, still no boot up. I tried using the PIT to repartition, but I kept getting an error when trying to flash it. I tried using Odin + heimdall, but no joy.

I'll be doing a Roto backup of my stock firmware as well when I get it back, maybe it makes a difference which device the backup is from?

Edit: I just saw that the last step is to clear cache? I missed that step :eek:

Can that cause the problems that I had?

Edit2: If I recall correctly, Heimdall reboots the tab once the kernel is flashed, so there's no option to boot into recovery unless you turn it off again before it boots. Is that the correct procedure?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Yes.

or adb reboot recovery, booting into recovery, clearing cache and doing adb reboot download from within recovery.

Backups are most important, always.
