[Q] First steps, what do - Folio 100 General

[Q] First steps, what do - Folio 100 General

Ok, i finally bought a Toshiba Folio for relatively low price.
It will be in my hands tomorrow.
I asked the shop for the firmware version, they answered me that Toshiba Folio has 2.2... Nothing more.
So... It's the latest firmware available and i have to trick it a bit for install foliomod, or there are any previously 2.2 firmwares which are easy to flash?
Thanks in advance. Best regards.

You can download new updates from TOSHIBA service stations.

I don't remember having any problem installing the foliomod on the latest firmware.

Thank you all for your replies guys.
I read this on dexter's topic:
for new users with latest 2.2.5.0131 firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961826

So... Are there any previously "2.2 firmware" that doesn't need to install adb driver and all that?
Or i would be able to install foliomod with this simple steps?
download latest FolioMod full zipfile- Extract contents to a folder and follow instructions below.
copy the update.zip from inside downloaded zipfile to the root of your sdcard, and insert sdcard into folio.
Enter "Recovery menu" when folio is just turned on and press (POWER) once and (VOL up) next.
press (VOL up) Factory reset or system update.
press(VOL down) to continue to system update.
press (VOL up) to confirm system update.
during installation progress bar will show har far it is.
folio will reboot after installation.
if you need to wipe, repeat the steps above without sdcard inserted, and you get into recovery menu. Press "HOME" button to see menu and choose "factory reset".
After reboot a BLACK screen appear for 1 or 2 minutes!! don't worry, its normal!

Sorry, I remembered bad, I did all the adb steps before installing. It was not difficult at all.

FolioMos is far better than stock rom?

It's good, but it has got strange freezes.

The lack of Market is very irritating on the stock rom. You have to install every application by downloading the apk from the net, wherever you find it. As I am using Folio mainly for web surfing, reading and watching movies I did not noticed so much difference. Although I have to mention that I was using the stock rom with a faulty screen so it was unable to distinguish the difference between lag and not perceived touch response.
But I do think using the FolioMod or Cyanogenmod is far more comfortable and gripping

Why do you not returned it? It doesn't have warranty?

I did, it works fine now, with Cyanogenmod

[HOW-TO] put a custom rom on your slide!!!


There's the video, guys.. have fun and be careful!
written instructions are as follows:
OK! so you've decided to take on the menial task of installing a custom rom, to make your mytouch... well for lack of a better term, YOURS! If you've had a G1 or a Mytouch 3g in the past, as I have, then the process is much the same..
Step 1
Download your rom from the website to your computer *durrrrrr* also make sure your device is in normal operating mode, and also download the update.zip for clockwork recovery if you dont already have it from HERE
Step 2
Copy the rom and update.zip for clockwork from your computer to your phone's SD card root directory, also known as /sdcard
Step 3
Power off phone
Step 4
Power onto Fastboot mode with Volume Down button and Power
Step 5
Get into recovery mode by pressing volume down once fastboot loads, and then power to select
Step 6
Once in recovery basic mode, where you see the triangle with red exclamation, hold volume up and press power again
Step 7
While in recovery mode, hit volume down to get to apply update.zip which will put you in clockwork recovery as long as the update.zip for clockwork recovery is on your sd card
Step 8
After applying your update.zip, you're going to scroll down to install zip from sd card using volume down button and then power to select
Step 9
Once again, go to install zip from sdcard and press power
Step 10
Select your zip in the menu, then press power
Step 11
Wait for zip to install and hope to hell the zip is signed correctly and not damaged
Step 12
After zip installs, back out to main menu and reboot phone!
Step 13
Wait for Rom to load 100%.. WATCH YOUR LOGCAT TO VERIFY NO BOOTLOOPS!!!
Done!!

If you download "QuickBoot" from the market you can boot directly to "Recovery" bypassing the bootloader.

Re: [how-to] put a custom rom on your slide!!!
I'm assuming this is a tutorial for future rom releases, correct?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk

well there's already 2 out at this time, with slideroot2 and the legend rom.. there will be tons more, i'm sure.. so yeah, this is a generalized install procedure for such things

I like the addition of the ADB & logcat steps! Nice touch, man...

heh thanks i want users to be able to see what they did and begin to learn how to fix future mistakes lol

I love the legend ROM but I needed the keyboard one night so I switched to slidemeroot2.
Any chance for Keyboard lights coming?
Also, couldn't load titanium backup in the legend. Any suggestions there?

to get titanium to load right, you have to install a different superuser.apk than the one that's stock. i dunno why exactly. also, legend is a BETA so it'll be updated soon by eugene, it is by no means a final version

Thank you. It is a pretty sweet beta.

Hate to state the obvious, but you should mention that this requires your MT3G Slide to be rooted... you know peeps will come out the wood works asking "why cant I do this!"

ummmm fermunky, why not watch video at 0:15 through 0:25?

Touche my friend, I didn't even watch the video, since I am not rooted yet anyways , but you know some people will still attempt to follow your directions and not watch the video Not everyone has good intuition

lol its cool man... if you're anywhere close to gulfport ms or are willing to drive here, i'll root your slide and eng build and legend it for free...

Does this mean that I don't have to root first to flash roms? Can i boot to recovery and flash to eugene's already rooted rom?

once you downgrade to the eng build, you can flash any rom for the slide... you have to root and then flash that downgrade though before you can do anything to it

When will a permanent recovery flash come available? Only a minor inconvenience since it only is two extra steps using the stock recovery... well three including copying the update.zip over.

whenever the spl comes, is when it comes i dont have a date/time for ya, devs are working on it... i know one in particular made a bit of progress yesterday, so we'll see what happens when it happens

Ok, I tried to install the SlideM ROM and and ran into an issue I'm not really sure how to fix.
I followed your video and instructions to the letter but on reboot the phone stopped at the first T-Mobile flash screen and froze. Using adb devices I come up with this;
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT069PS00585 offline
HT069PS00585 device
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb reboot
error: more than one device and emulator
...and the phone is locked onto that first t-mobile screen. I tried adb reboot, adb reboot-bootloader and still get nothing, even tried a hard reboot by pulling the battery to get to recovery mode and re-installed starting from step 1.....really hoping I didn't brick it. Any thoughts on why it happened or how I can go about fixing it?
***UPDATE*** went back and tried a method found in another thread, i.e., wiped data using Android recovery mode instead of Clockwork recovery, then re-installed SlideM. Worked perfectly on the first try

[Q] Would a factory reset help or hurt? (botched beta 4-5)

Hey guys. These posts are all too common but I really am distressed here (I'm worried I bricked my phone and don't have technical skill to bring it back to life), and please, any help would be really appreciated.
Here's the last thing that happened before I acted stupidly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15708254&postcount=394
long story short: tried to update to new cwm but couldn't do the step to delete a file in system/etc called install-recovery
I could not find a way to delete the file I needed to delete, install-recovery, I just gave up and thought "well, whatever. I have tenfar's older CWM on my phone anyway, and I never end up NEEDING it because everything goes fine if I follow the directions (ironic thing to think when not following directions).
So I continued following kennethpenn's guide on brief mobile, doing all steps except for #2:
Prerequisites
Unlocked bootloader
CWM recovery
External SD card
Gingerbread zip (download above)
Backup PDS partition
Backup data and applications
Installation
1.Unlock your bootloader
2.Download CWM recovery and flash it
3.Mount your device to USB
4.Put the Gingerbread .zip file on your external SDcard
5.Click “install zip from sdcard”
6.Choose zip from sdcard
7.Pick the gingerbread .zip
8.Install it!
9.Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I was definitely rooted, and am pretty confident that I unlocked the bootloader, because it took me a long time but I followed all the steps and got all the right responses on the phone and it said (and still says) Unlocked in the upper left corner during bootup, and I learned a lot this morning and was feeling good...
Flashing went fine, until after I rebooted in the recovery menu, and.... boot loops; the M would swirl around, turn dead, come back 3 seconds later, go dead again, on and on, until I did a battery pull
One last thing that I didn't think about now but may be a huge reason for the problem: I was on 1.8.3 but deodxed and running the latest "P-ROM" Ginger Blur.
So I can get into the fastboot, stock android recovery, and like ten other options during bootup. What I want to do is just start fresh because it'll set me back a lot, but right now I just want a functional phone. So can I do a factory reset in the boot menu, or would that just permanently brick it forever considering I unlocked the boot-loader, was themed, etc etc?
Thanks - any suggestions greatly appreciated.
To all the other newbs that love this stuff, but don't really know wtf you're doing, the moral of my story is "follow the directions EXACTLY and if you're unsure that you can do that, then don't proceed.

No you dont need any additional program. Stock 1.83 so then you can proceed according to GB.

don't take offense to this, but I think if you're asking questions like this about a pre-alpha, you might just want to hold off. Or just use on of the Kangs and flash with CWM.

I installed CM9 ([ROM][GT-P7500] CM9 KANG (ICS Preview) ) on my Galaxy Tab P7500 just yesterday evening, and so far I'm REALLY impressed by the performance and functionality.
I had some problems during the process and I thought I could share my experiences with you and give a short briefing on how to flash this stuff.
SHORT REVIEW
The ROM is superb. Even though it's half way there with some unimplemented things, the speed of the browser, the font rendering and overall look&feel make it impossible to return to honeycomb.
TESTED WORKING
1) OS in general
2) 3G, WIFI
KNOWN NOT TO WORK
1) Camera does not start
2) Some Trebuchet(CM9 launcher) menus in the settings not yet implemented
3) Screen rotation animations start with a blank screen
WHAT I DID
I started with rooted 3.2 Stock ROM and a battery 75% charged. I don't think rooting the tab beforehand is necessary, as you're going to overwrite the bootloader with CWM anyway.
1) I used Odin 1.85 and flashed Clockwork Recover Mod from Droidbasement, they even have the Stock IO recovery available there too!
- You need to power down the tablet, power it back up and hold both power and volume down buttons when the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1" logo comes visible
- Press volume up button to choose "Download mode"
- Start Odin on your computer, and select the Clockwork mod recovery file in the "bootloader" field
- Connect the tablet using the USB cable, Odin should recognize the device
- Press "Start" to begin the download
2) I transferred the four files listed in mabalito's thread to my tablets storage root folder
3) I booted the tablet to recovery mode
- (Power down, power up)
- Press volume down and power simultaneously when "galaxy tab 10.1" is visible
- Select recovery mode by first pressing power down, the pressing power up
- Select Wipe dalvik cache from advanced menu
- Select factory data wipe from the main menu
- Select apply update from sdcard
- Select apply update from .zip, repeat this step for files 1) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-020712-maba, 2) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-012912-maba-kernel-modules 3) Gapps 4) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-maba-voicesearch-fix
4) Reboot the tablet, you should see the CM9/ICS bootscreen (it hung quite long there for me for some reason, and I got a bit worried, 15mins waiting just did the trick)
5) Enjoy! The ROM is awesome!

not sure why people aren't giving you a direct answer but here:
you don't need the recovery.img for that to work...i just tried it.
all you need to do is to go into the update.script in the zip file, and remove the line that says "get assert" or something like that with notepad...save....put back in the zip file (you may need to first unzip it for it to work....then re-zip it again.)
hope this is apples for you!

[Q] {HELP NEEDED} Can't update from 1.1 BL to 1.2

So I've been following the steps outlined in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397728
but no matter how many times I download the NV flash files, or perform the NV flash over and over again, I still am having issues. All goes well until I hit step 5 (updating to NV flash1.2) it appears that the flash takes place, and then it reboots and I get stuck looking at fuzzy looking birds. It's a bit hard to explain, but there is sort of static that is running through.
This wasn't posted in the known issues, nor was I able to locate anyone else via the search function that is having the same issues. Any ideas?

There're too many unnecessary steps in that post. If all you want to do is to update to 1.2 (and have the latest CWM for the gTab installed), then see this post.
1. Follow the link in the "How to Install" section and use that nvflash package.
2. After the nvflash completes, power off immediately.
3. Then boot into CWM (not the stock ROM) and do a "wipe data/factory reset".
4. Transfer and install whatever 1.2 ROM you want.

This bit is puzzling. Did you drop the tablet by any chance?

I never dropped the tablet. The only time that it goes fuzzy like that is when I flash to a 1.2 rom. Thanks for your response. That worked perfect!

Hmm. Any fuzziness now?

Rooted S2 months ago, acting up now and won't boot (regular and recovery mode).

Preface: I have zero knowledge of android development and rooted my phone myself.
Some months ago I decided to root my S2 i777.
I followed the instructions on this page word for word: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
I decided to do it after my stock was getting laggy and was randomly shutting down and throwing the battery calibration off. After reading the good feedback in that page's comment section. I gave it a go.
Everything went fine and my now-rooted S2 was no longer randomly shutting down!
I noticed though that the caera and video playback stopped aorking. As in, the screen would be black. I could still take pictures, but I would knot know what it looked like until it was taken. That didn't bother me much though since not having the phone shut down random;y several times throughout the day anymore was more than worth that unfortunate loss.
Today, though. It started randomly cutting to black and boothing constantly. My battery calibration was all over the place. It has restarted at least 10 times today.
I talked to my friend that originally conviced me to root and he said to do a factory reset. I backed up my contacts on my SIM and did so.
Now it won't boot past the screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-1900" with the yellow warning triangle underneath (this is wha tthe boot screen changed to after rooting.).
I can not boot into recovery mode via keeping all three side buttons pressed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I do not know how to do that

Click the return to stock thread in this guys signature . Creepyncrawly has all the links http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2916435

@GPS_Music,
If you still want a rooted phone, then rather than flashing straight stock, why don't you save yourself a step, and flash Stock plus root. The links in my signature give pretty clear directions.
Since you originally rooted with files from GalaxyS2Root, the problems you have experienced are very likely related to the quality of those files. If you avoid GalaxyS2Root in the future, and use files from these forums, you will have a much better experience.
Since you want JellyBean, after you flash stock plus root, you could follow my guide to install a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery, and then flash one of the fine JellyBean firmwares available in the development section.
If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Thank you for your reply.
The main reason I opted to use that site was because of the ese of the steps, as well as the pictures. I wanted a method that was clear so I would minimize me messing up. I will look into your signature links now, but I should note that I don't recall stating I wanted JellyBean...my phone is 4.0.x last I recall, which is ICS.

Hey creepyncrawly,
I was able to download the material from your signature yesterday, but unfortunately my battery wa too low to safely put into downlaod mode (according to the phone, which read something along the lines of "Battery low! Can not download!" in red).
I tried charging it before I went to bed but it would not go past the screen that shows the battery indicator with a loading circle int he middle (which was not rotating). It would then go black and the screen would "retsart" constantly to black screens (I did not notice this until I turned off my room lights, the screen was very black but I could tell it was turning on and off).
I am trying again now to charge it but I seem to be having the same issue. I will leave it plugged to my charger for an hour and then try to turn it on.

It sounds to me like you're trying to put it in Recovery Mode. Download mode is something completely different. Here's what you can do:
- Take the battery out.
- Leave it out.
- Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down.
- While they are pressed, plug the phone into your computer.
This should place you in Download Mode. Then used Odin to flash the Stock Plus Root package.

Download mode is what I was intending for, and Vol Up and Vol Down is what I was pressing.
Are you saying to leave the battery out completely during the entire proces? That doesn't seem right.
As of now, I still can not get my battery to charge. I wonder if the ATT store cna loan me a replacement battery for a little bit.....

Yes, I'm saying leave the battery out for the whole process. The USB connection will supply the power.
Seriously, just give it a try.

It worked! Thanks so much!
However, It reverted me back to jellybean 2.3.4 and feels sluggish compared to when I had ICS, should i manually update it or should I install come custom rom?

I think you mean Gingerbread 2.3.4. Also, if you're rooted, never attempt an official update.
You can do what you want, but if you want my personal opinion, I would suggest a custom rom. If you think ICS was fast, wait until you try Jellybean. If you want a Touchwiz rom, probably go with ShoStock 3. If you want a more stock Nexus-ish flavor, give Task's AOKP a try. Just remember to follow each thread's installation instructions exactly, which means a full wipe.

The main thing I am looking for is a smooth interface, minimal lag, and reliable. Which ROM fits that description? And may you link me to it's instructions?
Thanks!

NOTE: I just experienced a random restart. I was using the phone and the screen suddenly went black and bootted again. This is the same issus I was experiencing before I re-rooted.
Should I be concerned?\
EDIT: It happened agian, not even a minute after the previous one after it was all re-booted up.
I am seeing he following under About Phone:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I777UCKH7
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7

Either of the roms I mentioned will give you a smooth interface and be reliable. And no, you can get to the instructions yourself. I'll give you a hint; the ShoStock 3 instructions are in the ShoStock 3 thread, and the AOKP instructions are in the AOKP thread.
It's pretty clear you don't really know what you're doing, so I'll spoonfeed you a little more. You're not going to use Odin to flash the rom. You're going to use CWM Recovery. You can get CWM Recovery by flashing a kernel that includes it. Here's what you do:
1. Download rom of choice and save it to your SD card.
2. Install Mobile Odin Lite.
3. Download Siyah kernel.
4. Extract the zimage and save it to your SD card.
5. Use Mobile Odin to flash the zimage.
6. Boot into Recovery.
7. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
8. While still in Recovery, install rom.
9. Reboot.
Most people will not (and should not) be as helpful as I just was. In the future, read read read. Read the stickies, search for threads that deal with issues you may be having, and read them. All the info you need is already out there, you just need to learn how to find it.

It'll go away once you flash a different rom.

Understood and much appreciated!
I suppose it's just me being over-over-over-careful and making absolutely sure I don't screw anything up (like last time). Though now I know this is the site to go to for any reference!
Thanks again!

Yup same problem i'm facing just tooooo carefull and i also read a lot of treaths but still i think sometimes That its not going to work sometimes the same thing would not work, deu to the fact that a Noob like me and u forgot a small step or someting
And then u had lucky u could take out the batterij.
I have 3 xperia's and all 3 can't take the batterij out so i don't had much time to fix it.
But as long as u try and say really good what u did and what u used.
Btw does everything work properly Again
