[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcobrax81:
I was trying to flash Clockwork Recoverylast night, but the links were down the files I needed. So I went to Modaco's site and there is a conversion file to EXT 4 which included Clockwork Recovery. I flashed it using Odin with no problems, and I even saw the Orange recovery screen prior to the phone rebooting. So it looked as if everything worked fine. At this point, it was 4 AM so after the flash it said to be patient and it would take a long time. So I just went to sleep. I woke up this morning to a dead Tab. I figured I would plug it in because maybe the battery ran out.

Plugging it in had no signs of life, so I left it on the charger for a while and eventually I saw the battery and the circular lines that rotate when the battery is charging. The lines however, were not rotating. Basically a "frozen" charge screen. I thought I would leave it on just in case if it was charging and no charge what so ever.

I cannot get into download mode, or recovery. I have also tried plugging in the device and Odin does not recognize it. Can anyone help? thanks

I followed these instructions:

Please post in the proper forum.

I don't see how this has to do with development.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcobrax81:
sorry, I figured since I was using the dev thread for info it would go here. Post to general? can a mod move to appropriate portion please? thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technomancer:
First post it in general forum.

Second, its not dead, just press volume down and hold power and it will boot into download mode and you can flash it with anything you want.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcobrax81:
Thanks Tech, but it will not go into download mode (the sweeping android). It seems as if the battery died, and it is not taking a charge. I have tried holding the V down and power at the same time. Pressing V Down and holding power and all other combos. Cannot get it into DL mode.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayman07:
Plug in the tab to an outlet and IMMEDIATELY push and hold the power button. My point is, don't let the tab display that battery with the stuck cursor. You want it to boot before that battery icon comes up. You might be using an older version of the kernel that doesn't have the fix for charging when its off.

From the Tab.

solution

This happened to me. Just plug it in your PC, it will look like nothing is happening, but wait half an hour or more and all of a sudden your pc is going to recognize the usb connects. When this happens right away go to the download mode. Then you can flash whatever you want and fix your tab.

I hope that works for you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcobrax81:
PHEW! Thanks guys! Any idea what I may be doing wrong? I will retry flashing using Odin. I am using pit P1_20100909.pit

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msewidan:
I think your problem is with the kernel. So thats what you need to flash. you can flash a whole rom that has a kernel. for future reference your battery should be at least 50% before flashing 100% is even safer..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiochasylum:
When I flashed the modaco kernel I did not use a PIT file. USA ATT tab. It didnt work the first time, and once i flashed it again it worked.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcobrax81:
That is what I did for my second turn and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the suggestions. I wanted to try out the CM7 Beta, but I know that Modaco is ext-4 and I think that conflicts with CM7, so I will worry about that some other time. I am done for the year ;)

Again, thank you all for your help and suggestions.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastcx:
Even a simple process of flashing custom kernel cause such trouble to you, I recommend you to wait till cm7 is stable, in the mean time, just flash other custom rom that use cwm..

flash this kernel

switch off wifi,bluetooth,gps,data by dragging notification bar and tapping on the ocons.

reduce display brightness from settings>display>brightness (select lwest, atleast thts wat i use
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sopaipilla:
flash void kernel, and install gapps, tapps , a2sd and blink modules.

when the rom is fully installed and running use setcpu to manage cpu 122/600.

turn off wifi, bluetooth, gps.

now your device life is about 30 hrs :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
The quickest fix would be to switch of 3G(2G only mode), WiFi when not in use, GPS, bluetooth, data enabled off, etc. These can be done with the Power Control widget or from the drag down notification bar. Big effect even without flashing a custom rom :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
Depending on your usage mate.

But yeah pretty much what everyone else said . Indoor I keep my brightness lvl almost 0. The screen ain't that shabby and it does a pretty good job even outdoors at a bit above half brightness.

I always keep my network on 2g mode OFF and I don't let my phone use data connection unless I want to use 3G network.

Also get an app for clearing memory a bit . I use android assistant which is pretty much an all in one . Great app I'd say , monitors CPU usage and has quick boost for lazy clearing up memory , manual clearing up memory and ofc you can ignore some app processes like for ex. setCPU

As a sidenote , if you have most of the time above 260-270 memory free your phone should hold in average usage for at least 2 days.

I for example on one charge's worth with the above settings , can watch 2 hours of video , at least one hour of browsing , some video games and reading books .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bennji:
Going slightly off topic, how do I get into recovery mode?

When I installed it I got there, did a nand back up and the rebooted.

Now when I hit Vol down/Power/Home it just starts up as normal?

I'm not very good at this stuff clearly, ha ha
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
I have trouble getting into the recovery too sometimes, since I can't hold the three buttons that long. Here's how I get to the recovery: Go to your terminal and type "reboot recovery". That should reboot and take you to it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bennji:
Brilliant, thanks chief
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bennji:
Done all that thanks.

Just another off topic question - in the ROM posts the instructions usually say something about moving the zip file to the SD card from your PC via USB.

Why wouldn't I download the zipfile straight onto the phone (like I did with your kernel) and install it that way?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bennji:
Sorry I know I shoudn't be asking so many questions in so many posts but can you confirm what was contained in your kernel please?

im using handcent so i want to remove stock sms app

deleting:

htcmessageuploader.apk

htcmsgwidgets.apk

mms.apk

will create problem?

i lose mms function? (i don't use it. so, if yes, good!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazielKaine:
I'm also using HandCent and want to get rid of the default SMS application. Titanium Backup just sits there when it tries to uninstall the App. I can kill TB, but the SMS app is still there and usable.

Is there some other way to get rid of it? I hate the app as it doesn't tie in my contacts from my phone properly, so it never shows their names, only phone numbers.

Any assistance would be awesome!

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You can remove system apps but you need to be S-Off. There is a free app in the market for this. I wouldn't really do it just in case it starts messing up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazielKaine:
Thanks for the response.

I know I am S-Off at the moment, as I have the Fascinate and it comes unlocked from the factory. So as far as the app you were speaking of, was it Titanium Backup? Cause if it is, that is the app that is not working. If its something else, can you tell me what it is? I want to get rid of that stock SMS app entirely because of personal taste reasons. I understand the risks of removing it, but I do know that on my stock install, when I did successfully remove it with TB, there were no averse effects on the phone.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krispy521:
Everyone seems to be saying that Ra-supersonic is better for backups than clockwork Mod. So I went into Rom manager and switched my recovery to Ra-supersonic.

My question is, I'm about to install Mikfroyo 4.5, and when I go into Nandroid backup the following options are displayed:

-boot

-system

-data

-cache

-recovery

-wimax

-sd-ext

-.android_secure

Which ones do I need to check before hitting Perform backup? This was not an option in clockwork Mod, It just backed up everything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
First, make a backup with only Wimax checked and keep that in a safe place in case you ever run into the 4G problem and need to restore your keys.

Then standard backups can be the top three, checked by default: boot, system, data. That's what you need.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krispy521:
So by checking the top 3, when I do a restore if something bad happens, will I go right back the way the phone was before? Just like in clockwork mod?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
correct .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
The "core" ones to backup are the first three. If you have apps downloaded to your SD Card (via Android), you need .android_secure. If you are using Darktremor's A2SD (you have the extra partitions on your SD card), you will also need sd-ext.

If you have large apps (Angry Birds comes to mind) and you haven't manually moved them back to the phone storage, you likely want .android_secure.

If you don't have any idea about Darktremor's A2SD and never repartitioned your SD Card, you unlikely want to back up sd-ext.

I hope this helps!

A wimax (4G) backup by itself or part of a regular backup is always helpful in case you lose your RSA keys.

It's the volume down, then center key, then power. Make sure your not letting go after pressing them in that order... Order is important if you were doing power, center then volume down it will not work in that order.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franivelius:
How to boot into Recovery

There is no key combination for this device.

In order to get to Recovery you need to boot Android, enable USB Debug Mode. Then connect to PC via USB cable, open ADB and type "adb reboot recovery"

If you cant boot into Android you'll need to flash recovery with Odin and it'll boot into Recovery after flashing.

also if using CM7 you can choose to boot into recovery when restarting phone.

If there is a way to boot to Recovery from download mode please someone explain how.

On my GT-I5500M, after installing CWM via Odin, from powered-off state, I can press and hold Volume Down, Start Call, End Call (3 buttons simultaneously), hold 'em past the Samsung boot screen, and you eventually get into Recovery mode without going into Download mode. YMMV but it works for me.
