ya we went the link of the sprint rom
[Galaxy Tab General] alex2792:
Here's a brief how-to that revived my Verizon Tab. These worked for me, but YMMV, I'm not responsible if you brick your Tab into a permanent paperweight mode.

Download stock Sprint firmware(the file doesn't have the modem.bin, but it still worked fine), get it here Tab Stock - No Modem.rar

Unzip the file then use Odin to flash the .tar image, it contains all of the necessary stock images except for modem.bin.

When the tab reboots hold vol up and power buttons to get into recovery. Clear data(factory reset) and clear cache then reboot. It will now boot normally, but you won't be able to use 3G and get prompts about data roaming, which you can ignore. Now that the Tab boots it's time to flash it back to Verizon stock.

Visit http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...84-how-restore-vzw-galaxy-tab-stock-dj11.html and download the stock Verizon firmware zip. Do NOT follow the instructions from that thread, it will result in an endless bootloop. Shut down the tab and enter download mode then flash System, Cache, Kernel and Recovery with Heimsdall. Do NOT flash param, it makes the Tab bootloop(I don't know why, don't ask). After reboot you may get some error messages about unable to mount cache or find files, don't worry it's normal. Just get back into recovery clear data and cache then reboot. VOILA, your tab is now back from the dead.
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
I love you. I'm going to try this tonight!
[Galaxy Tab General] saud11:
are you have a sprint tab (( sph-p100 )) ???

if you have it and it is working can you explane to us what you do
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
I have a VZW tab. If you follow the instructions above, it should be even easier for you as you don't have to flash the verizon files.

I'm not sure about the Sprint modem though.
[Galaxy Tab General] kgelso:
I'm following your instructions, and I just flashed the tab with the sprint .tar file you posted. How do I flash this in Odin? I'm using Odin v1.3.. Everytime it flashes it goes through OK but then won't boot up. It will just flash the Samsung logo on and off really quick. I can get into download but not into the recovery.. Any tips?
[Galaxy Tab General] alex2792:
Hmm you can try reformatting with the pit file in the sprint stock package.
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
Do not do this if you have a VZW tab!!!

I think I just bricked my tab doing this!! I cannot get into Download mode anymore, booting up just shows (in pictures):

Cell Phone ... !...Computer
[Galaxy Tab General] ekoandrew:
Did you install the BootStrapper after Rooting the Tab?

I tried so much times to Brick my VZW Tab on purpose. Always end up fail after fail.

With proper directions to follow through, you can not go wrong to Fail.

Did you flash the VZW Klean.Mod V2? I am using that now, never failed once!! Still loving it all the time!!

[VZW]KhasMek's K-leanMod v2- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941749

If you need help, just PM me. Sorry my reply are slower than usual now a days...
[Galaxy Tab General] alex2792:
You can still flash it with Odin,your tab isn't dead.
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
Heh, I followed all directions, but my tab decided that it was going to corrupt something, reboot, and fail to get past the Samsung logo.

Oh, and I'm not totally bricked. I flashed those sprint files again (the tab was still allowed to connect to Odin) and I'm back to a flashing Samsung screen.
[Galaxy Tab General] kgelso:
Same thing happens to me when I flash the Sprint Rom via Odin. I get a flashing Samsung screen.. I can't get it to boot or go into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
I am going to wait until someone posts an actual VZW dump (shouldn't be too long according to the guy in the other thread). Then try to reflash.

When I tried to use the Pit file to repartition, Odin hung at the "Do not Turn off Target" step. I couldn't stop it, kill the process, so I was forced to unplug. :mad:

I then wasn't able to get into download mode...or so I though. However, I held down the volume button + power, got a weird screen, but Odin could see it, so I re-flashed the Sprint files. Same flashing Samsung screen. So I then flashed the verizon files. Now i'm back to where I started lol. It just stays at the Samsung screen.
[Galaxy Tab General] kgelso:
We are in the same boat.. Let me know when you get the VZW files.
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
He posted them! I downloaded them and am also hosting it on my Dropbox:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16395996/Verizon-GTab-Stock.zip
[Galaxy Tab General] kgelso:
Awesome, I just downloaded them!

How do I flash these? There are a lot more files in that zip than I know what to do with.. You using heimdall or odin?
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
Well, I tried to use Heimdall, but it doesn't work. If I flash the files without repartitioning (also not flashing boot.bin or Sbl.bin), I can get as far as the Verizon logo, but it stops there.

Occasionally I can get it to recovery mode (usually by just turning it off and letting it sit there while charging).

If I try to Repartition, with all files, it says "Failed to retrieve config Descriptor" and stops.

Any luck on your end?
[Galaxy Tab General] Benjamin Dobell:
Hmm, that's a fairly unusual error to be getting. Have you tried a different cable, USB port or PC?

If you have done all of the above then it seems there is something seriously wrong with your device. Retrieving the config descriptor is a part of the USB specification and not really related to flashing. It could be a result of faulty hardware or a corrupt secondary bootloader. If it is the secondary bootloader then using a custom jig to boot into download mode via the backup secondary bootloader might solve your problem.
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
Yeah, unfortunately I tried multiple cables and USB ports, even multiple computers and versions of heimdall.

Can you link me to the "custom jig" ? Is that referring to a hardware device?
[Galaxy Tab General] mediapirate:
I'm having a similar issue I tried to re-flash everything back to factory using someone else VZW backup (I have a VZW tab). I was able to reflash the factory FS, the tab booted and it was back to factory, however when I tried to reflash the VZW bootloader it rebooted and now it's just black. I can't get into download mode, or recovery.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
Does Odin recognize it?

Turn it off, hold the down+ Power button for a few seconds, connect to odin does it see it? If so you might still be able to use Download mode.
[Galaxy Tab General] Marc_robinson:
I decided to flash my tab last night, and it flashed fine except when turning it on the screen had a wierd flash for a few seconds, so I mucked around with it and tried to restore the origional "loader" after doing that when I boot it it went to the samsung screen and no further, I have tried using odin and the pit file that comes with it, it goes through fairly quickly then boots to the samsung screen, I cant get into recovery mode but can get into download mode. I've download several stock pit files, but when I run odin with any of them it sits on the downloading screen and odin says DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET. on one occassion after 20 minutes I thought it had hung, so rebooted it and tried the default pit file again and it went through fine. am I being too impoatient, how long should it take to run with a stock pit file?

I notice thedefault onethat works quick is only 2Kb in size as opposed to the stock ones are 256kb in size. Any advice or suggestions would be appriecated. I've only had the thing for 2 weeks, and hopeI havent stuffed it. Should I look at taking it to the nearest samsung repair shop?

This last run with odin and a stock pit file has been going for 30 minutes now, windows task manager says odin is still running, no "not responding" messages.

I've tried both odin V 1.3 and 1.7, I've also tried heimdall but it doesnt detect the phone is there and fails.

I've spent the last 9 hours searching these forums and the net ion general, and have tried just about everything.

Help!!!!!!!!!

Also if anyone can point me to were I can download the current telstra rom which it had on it as default

Thanks in advance..
[Galaxy Tab General] Marc_robinson:
odin has been runing for over an hour now with that stock pit file, should I assume, its not going to work?

[Captivate General] iRide113:
Don't know if it is a problem or what but when receiving a new text, the screen does not light up but rather just vibrates, make noise, and have the buttons lit up.

Is this a problem or is it a setting I can adjust so the screen lights up as well?
[Captivate General] tysj:
The AOSP mms app doesn't turn on the screen when messages are received (on this ROM). But you can probably try using something like SMS pop up to have the screen turn on and quick reply if you want. I haven't tried that myself, though.
[Captivate General] iRide113:
Anyway to change that?
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
SMS popup is definitely the way to go. allows you to use your preferred messaging app but gives you awesome functionality with the popup notifications. and quick reply is the best.
[Captivate General] jhernand1102:
You can disable the bottom button lights in recovery...Advacned ULK..BLN and disable it.
[Captivate General] iRide113:
I want the screen to light up though, not the bottom button lights to go away. But good to know!
[Captivate General] slifer315:
if you use the samsung mms.apk provided on the serendipity website, the screen will light up upon receiving a text message.

Hi,

Has anyone tried either the Lexar or Patriot 32GB microSDHC card with their Droid/Milestones?

Any issues at all?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Any information at all would be appreciated.

I haven't been able to find any information by searching forums.

I am running Cyanogen 6, 2.2.1, so I should be able to format the 32GB card. I'm just concerned with compatibility issues with the original Droid 1 and the Milestone.

Anyone?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] butcher211:
this would be interesting for me too. im searching a 32 gb card which is workin!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] xenomorph150:
yeah, would love to hear something about 32gb goodness too ^^
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Yeah I'm surprised that we aren't getting more feedback with this topic.

I've found threads with 32GB cards with EVOs and Droid Xs, but, that's about it.

I think it helps if you manage to get it formatted properly, either on a desktop computer or on your device (if it supports it).

I'm tempted by the Patriot 32GB Class 10, but, some of the people on Newegg seemed to have some issues with it on a their Droid Xs.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] lebkom:
Im using a 32gb class 10 lexar microsd in my milestone, so far its working great and have had no problems
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Thanks for the feedback!

Do you experience any subjective speed increases with the new card?

Have you run any SD Card speed tests with the card? If not, would you mind doing so and reporting back?

Just wondering if the Milestone will benefit from a class 10 card (or any card greater than class 2).

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] lebkom:
i got 8.8MB/s write speed and 12.7MB/s read using antutu system review btw im also using apps2ext and cm7. I dont know by using apps2ext if the benchmark is effected. I was using a 16gb class 2 Kingston card before this and generally haven't noticed much of a speed difference but I mainly use the card for music

Edit: SD tools gets 10.6MB/s writing speed and 14.4MB/s reading speed
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Hi,

Thanks for sharing your results. Those performance speeds are quite attractive!

I'm surprised that you you don't feel any subjective speed increases though. I would have thought that when accessing applications stored on your SD card, or when you initially remount your SD card and have to search through media using Gallery, that the difference would have been significant.

Although it is possible that our phones doesn't support much more than Class 2 speeds.

But, at least we know that the Lexar card is compatible with the Droid/Milestone!

Thanks very much for the information!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Oh sure, I understand that a faster card will make file transfers with my desktop much faster. I guess I was hoping to get more of a performance boost from my phone (ie. Apps2SD) with a faster card.

I'm not sure I'd call 2MB/S unusable for desktop file transfers. But, then again I don't change the music on my phone more than once a month. I can see it being more troublesome if you changed it more regularly. And hey, more speed is always good :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] Twist3:
Something else to consider - I have an 8GB class 2 card.

Loading angry birds seasons from my SD card = 15 seconds

Loading from internal memory = 9 seconds
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Yes, that's a great point. I just don't know if the Droid/Milestone can take advantage of a microSDHC card with a higher transfer rate than Class 2.

Have you tried a faster card with your phone?

Does anyone have any comparison numbers with faster cards and application loading using Apps2SD?

Thanks!

Patriot LX 32GB Class 10 benchmarked with SD Tools v1.3

(HTC Desire HD + Android v2.2)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Wow, impressive numbers. I wish the Droid/Milestone had half that performance :)

Is anyone using the Patriot 32GB with a Droid/Milestone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] Shrikey:
With the Milestone SD card which came with the phone (I think this is a UK retail version) "OEM SD SU08G", I got these results:

3.8 / 14.8 MB/s

I added this simply to have something to compare with.

Will edit this image of the results in later: thumbnails37.imagebam.com/12224/fae506122237685.jpg
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Thanks for sharing.

I get similar results from my no-name stock 16GB card.

I'm using the Patriot 32GB microSDHC class 10, so far it works well in my milestone.

Below is the screenshot by SD tool.

A comment:

Using this kind of sdhc which is c10, try not move the files too much once a time from pc to ms, or it might caused reboot or something else.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Hi,

Thanks for sharing your results!

You're the first person I've heard of who is using this combination. Your speed test results are very impressive.

May I ask you to clarify your comment regarding reboots? Do you mean that if you move large files, or a large quantity of files from your PC to your Milestone, that you have been experiencing reboots? What other issues have you been experiencing?

Have you noticed any kind of speed increase?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] bb2260:
In my place, there are many persons who are using this sdhc, so don't worry MS can support it.

In our experenice from our fourm, some MS work great and nothing happened.

But, some MS including my MS have the problem about reboot, app exit when you are using it, if you move a large quantity of files once a time from PC to MS.

There is also a problem from my experenice, not for all others.

My MS could not identify the SD card, or need to format the Sd card.

In this situation, the SD card repairation by some sd format app could be settle the problem, and then the card is back. The information of the repairation shows that there are some unknow link, bad sector, or error link. When I look further, I find the files that often appear above three error message are in the below folders /sdcard/LOST.DIR and /sdcard/LazyList. Thus I think these are the reason why the problem happens.

There is an interesting thing. I have fat and ext partitions in my card, but the partition of ext never has any problems. Last month, I format the fat32 by 64K formation, and it works well so far. (someone prefers 32K)

The speed increase. Yes, but not so significantly. I feel the system is more smooth. The delay when open the app is also less, but you know the speed also involve the size of memory. So, it's haven't extreme different.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Thanks for taking the time to reply with such a detailed response.

How many Milestones have you tried the Patriot 32GB card in?

Are they all running the same ROMs? I have heard of ROMs earlier than 2.2 might have some problems detecting a 32GB card, and that the work around is to format the card as FAT32 on your PC first.

I would have thought that you would have noticed a bit more of a speed increase, especially in heavy SD Card writing situations (downloading RSS feeds, etc). But thanks for sharing. I'm sure you read from the card a lot more than write to it.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] bb2260:
Sorry, I don't know the actual number of MS that use this card, but i have never heard who can't use this card on their MS.

My rom is CM 6.1.2, and most people do. So, I am sure that the 2.2 ROM may detect this or others 32GB card.

The write speed is also increase. I just try to take a shot by "camera 360" app, and set the pic size to 2592*1456 wide. The file size of each pic is about 2.5MB. I feel the write speed is better than the card that the official offers, 8G c4, and the delay between two shots is also less, as 1~2 sec. But, as what i said before, it still does not satisfying. Maybe the problem is the I/O driver of MS, or maybe it's caused by my second partition, ext.

BTW,

I think it's a good card, cheap, large quantity, and high speed.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Thanks again for your contribution!

Ahh, Ok, you are comparing the Patriot card to a Class 4 card. I thought that you were comparing it to the stock Class 2 card :) Sadly, my class 2 card's write speed is about 1Mb/s, so I'm really looking forward to the upgrade.

I'm running CM 6.12 as well. It's interesting that of all your friends that use the card, only you seem to have the reboot issues. I hope you get that sorted out.

Thanks again for your help!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] gs111:
Hmmm. I'm thinking my Milestone needs a 32gb card! I didn't realize that any retailer in Canada had them yet... Newegg.ca, here I come!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
The Patriot 32GB Class 10 card is available locally here in Vancouver now. But, I've heard that the Lexar 32GB wont be available in Canada until April.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] gs111:
I couldn't find a 32gb class10 locally in stock (although I admit I didn't look very hard)... so I just ordered a Kingston 32gb Class4 from Amazon.

I'm looking forward to the extra space, and the Class4 will still be 2x as fast as my current Class2.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
I was tempted by the Kingston card as well when it first came out, but, to be honest, I didn't find too many complimentary reviews of it. Most of the reviews showed the card to be slower than the Sandisk 32GB Class 2 card.

But perhaps they've addressed those issues by now...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] gs111:
Got the Kingston 32GB Class4 card, and it is great to have the extra space!

I did some quick performance testing on it... and it is no speed demon, but it does meet the Class4 spec. I also tested the original Telus-provided 16gb Class2 card, and it came out with very similar performance to the Class4. So in the end, I don't find the new card any faster, but I do find it bigger!

Anyway, I ordered from Amazon Canada with free shipping on Friday, and got it Monday. Happy camper here.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Thanks for reporting back.

What kinds of write speeds were you getting on your original Telus SD card? I was getting around 1MB/s when installed in my Milestone.

Enjoy the extra space. It must be nice :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] rcummings100:
Sorry to post to an old thread, but I just ordered the patriot 32gb class 10 microsd card too. Will report back if anyone's interested.

Currently using milestone with CM7
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Yes, do report back.

I for one am still interested. I heard from local suppliers (here in Vancouver) that we wont get hold of the Lexar 32GB Class 10s until June.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] rcummings100:
Put the card in this afternoon after copying my data over from the old 16gb card (which was more complicated than i expected, given that I use an EXT2 partition in addition to the regular fat32 one).

Initial impression is NO difference in speed. My old card was a class 2. But I'll let you know how things go as I use the phone over the next few days.

Just on a side note, I bought an identical 32GB regular Patriot SDHC card for use in my laptop as a readyboost drive. It's class 10 as well. And I was shocked when readyboost refused to use it! It said the card wasn't fast enough. I modified the registry to bypass that and use it anyway, to see how things go, but it's still surprising. I was using a 2GB class 6 card previously that worked perfectly.

For fun I also tried this new 32GB MicroSD card, using an adapter, and it had no problem...passed the readyboost test on the first try.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] rcummings100:
update: the card died 15 minutes after my last post

seriously, i am not kidding
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Wow, that's bad luck. What were the symptoms of it dying? Did you try a reformat?

Where did you buy them? I know that TigerDirect.ca has the Laxar cards listed now, but, they are getting them from their US stores and shipping them from there.

I've heard that target date is not late May or June for Lexars to be available locally in Canada.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] rcummings100:
Local store here in toronto: www.infonec.com

It's a patriot card.

Never had any problem with infonec before, will be letting them handle a replacement for now.

My phone stopped responding all of a sudden. Then rebooted, and on reboot most of my apps and ALL of my settings were gone. Realized the microsd card hadnt mounted. Reboot...still didnt mount.

Took card out, tried in windows computer, didnt show up anywhere including storage manager. Tired multiple card readers and multiple usb pots. Also tried different computers. It's dead as a doorknob

Put my 16gb class 2 back in, all is fine with that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] knowthenazz:
Finally managed to get a Lexar 32GB Class 10

Update:

Well I finally managed to get my hands on it!

Best Buy Canada had a handful of them on their online store, and it was delivered on yesterday.

My CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1 results (having the SD card installed on my Milestone, and connected via USB):

512K	14.74	1.765

4K	3.017	0.594

4KQD	2.815	0.583

So far it's running great. I've run a few diagnostic read tests on it, and I've just finished installing all of my files on to it. I've had no problems so far. If I do, I'll report back here.

Thanks for everyone's replies!
