I'm a retard and did not back up my stock kernel when i'm trying out new things. So now i want to go back to stock kernel...but i can't find the stock kernel anywhere...not even in the filesfordummy.zip...can someone help me please?
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/
hey thanx man ;-)
i was able to restore to the old kernel by flashing the rom included in the filesfordummy.zip...and it restore to stock 3.1 non touch wiz...ok..thats fine..it ran smoother! but here is my problem:
1. i am no longer able to find an update when i tried to look for an update, is anyone having similar problem when they flash from 3.1 touch wiz back to non touch wiz 3.1?
( I was on 3.1 touch wiz UKME....but now current my build code is different UKF3 or something...is that weird?)
side note: when i first reflash the rom included in the filesfordummy.zip...all application crashed constantly...until i went into CWM and did a wipe/factory restore...then found a weird 11 m.b update when i press look for update...weird?
Personally, I also wiped the tablet and installed the vanilla Android 3.1 ROM, much better than the TouchWiz bloatware. I have zero Samsung apps now... and that's the way I like it. Looking forward to a clean 3.2 ROM with no TouchWiz.
The 11MB update simply adds the Google Video's app... but it also LOCKS nvflash.
My tablet comes with a locked bootloader, so I don't care. If you see the a little lockpad when you reboot the tablet, once you perform the upgrade you will not see it anymore.
If you go in Download mode after upgrade, you will also notice a newly added warning, telling you that a custom OS can cause critical problems in tablet.
Personally, I don't care if it locks the bootloader, as long I can flash the tablet with CWM. That means I can flash a custom ROM, kernel and also root. It makes no difference to have a locked or unlocked bootloader, unless you want to flash something that needs a different bootloader (i.e. Tabuntu). A locked 10.1 will still allow you to flash anything with ODIN, it doesn't check for signed kernels. The locking is done in all tablets running Honeycomb 3.1, not just the Tab.
cool, ok this is heads up for those that don't know:
1. flashing vanilla 3.1 ROM on your tablet will remove the ability to update to TW in the tablet update menu or KIES.
2. downloading the 11 mb UPDATE will lock nv flash.
thanx all, issue resolved.

What does locking nvflash mean? I haven't used it so far?
My device came with touchwiz already installed and i haven't downloaded any updates, and I am not likely to anytime soon. Xda will provide my ROM needs! :-D

i think it means that the 11 MB will lock your boot loader.

If you reboot your tablet and have this padlock on your screen, you have an unlocked bootloader:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Running the 11mb update will lock it. If you want to be sure, use nvflash... if you get a 0x4 error then you have a locked bootloader.

Just thought I'd share my positive experience.
I was on Froyo (Simply Galaxy 2.8).
First of all, not many may know that the GB bootloaders are perfectly backwards compatible with both Eclair and Froyo.
So I used Odin to flash the GB bootloaders, then booted into the recovery and Froyo to make sure everything works fine. It did.
Only then did I use Odin to flash the Simply Honey 3.8 + 512 pit file.
Booted up just fine.
Everything seems to work fine, the TouchWiz 4.5 is very nice as well.
So don't be afraid, feel free to flash it, no real need to stay on 2.2 -2.2.1 anymore.
What about CM7? Those GB bootloaders are compatible with CM7?

Having said that, I am referring to another thread.
I personally have not verified that.
I know the GB bootloaders work fine with both Simply Galaxy 2.8 (Froyo) and Simply Honey 3.6 (GB 2.3.4)
Hm...i might have to flash it...thanks for the information!
Hey OP thanks! Your words are encouraging. I am still on Simply Galaxy 2.8 and thinking of moving to SH 3.8. Since you already passed the test, I hope you can answer the below questions
- Did you disable voodoo before Odining SH 3.8? or before the bootloaded flash?
- Where is the PIT file from? I think EB uploaded only the tar?
- When odining SH 3.8 did you tick options Re-partition, Auto reboot, F Reset time, Flash lock?
- Did you add TW 4.5 addon or is it part of the ROM? How is the response of scrolling and all in TW 4.5 on our hardware?
- Does the TW 4.5 comes with new versions of samsung widgets that are scrollable, resizable?
1) did not touch Voodoo - was enabled before, stayed enabled after
2) the PIT is from Eugene's Froyo rom..let me see here it is:
http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...in/samsung/vibrant/&file=s1_odin_20100512.rar
3) when odining - yes, I checked re-partition, but it didn't, since the partitions are the same for "before" and "after", so all my folders stayed "as is"
The rest of checks were just left by default. Not "Flash lock" if I remember correctly.
Only:
Re-Partition
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
4) I flashed TW 4.5 manually from CWM recovery after I flashed the ROM itself
http://www.multiupload.com/I955XLXNNJ
5) Sorry, not sure about that one
Thanks! Going to take the jump to GB! I have version 1.81 of Odin which has Flash lock check and also a seperate file selector for Bootloader (ver 1.70 in PDA you select the bootloader file). May be I play safe and use ver 1.70
I used version 1.83=)
Worked fine everytime I used it, never seen a "Fail" with it
http://hotfile.com/dl/116095613/1d3d429/Odin3_v1.83.exe.html
If that option is checked by default, just leave it checked, I did not change anything, except manually checked "Re-Partition"
hey guys, has everyone know theme that compatible with simply honey 3.8?
do you know where i can find it?
this rom is fantastic..i just flash it with odin method..
Everything looks smooth so far! You guys are awesome!

Thank you for your advice.
in fact,i had read that aritcle carefully：
“UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY
1. Using CWM Flash the stock rom for your device. This unroots your device and basically makes it like a brand new tablet.
2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip.
3. Done, your device is exactly how it was when you picked it up. ”

but i still don't know what CWM is,and is it just an app?
and in the step 2,i don't know where to get filesfordummies.zip.
I want to unroot my tab also. I followed the instroctions and I downloaded a stock rom from Samfirmware.com. How I can flash it with Clockworkmod?

Can someone help me? How can I flash the stock rom with CWM?
i used the instructions in the post that is referenced to unroot. then i had numerous force close. sammy phone support suggested factory reset. i did that and it took me back to out of the box. it then did the minor update to UEKG4, but it won't recognize the TW update. They are wanting me to send it in, but I know it is something with software and I should be able to fix it.
No signs of SU, can't figure out why it won't recognize TW update. Thinking about going back to CWM Recovery to see if there are some advanced options that could help.
Hey ANthesca, I'm having the same problem. It looks like the custom stock rom we went back to is the I/O version, and that version never got the touchwiz update. This is my guess as to why we can't update to touchwiz, I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the official USA Stock rom for my tablet

Chances are you are going to lose root.
Can I just re-root it the old way (odin/clockwork I think), or will there be some protection
or need to find a newer root method?
Look here and read it good(to achieve update and root with new firmware and baseband)....:thumbup:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28612771

I unrooted, tried OTA and says none (which there was),
re-rooted again with newest rom manager and clockwork,
still can't flash the update. Guess I don't really need it
(what does it even do, I don't use wallet or dropbox).
But it would be nice to be able to flash updates in the future
without wiping anything.

If not, don't I just wait for a rooted updated sprint rom all baked and flash it over mine so I don't lose

im uploading my custom N986U A12 Rom if anybody else wants it. I made sure to odin all the files on my phone beforehand and it went smoothly, but i cannot promise anything lol.This will wipe your phone though, as i didnt want any unnecessary problems. Once your about to finish setup, the sim manager should pop up. Just turn your sim off, and on again to restore data. IDK why it requires that, but its only once. If you dont get the manager, it should be in data settings. Took around 8 hours before performance improved but now its just as fast as A11. Flash in the corresponding slots in patched odin.Based on N986USQS2EULE

If you have any requests, just shoot and il look into it.

Well I'm having an audio issue now. Phone runs great, all smooth animations and everything... until i playback ANYTHING with audio. It'll play for 3 seconds and then stutter/stop for 3 seconds. Voicemails, Spotify, YouTube... you name it.
Did a factory reset and still the same thing. Any ideas?
EDIT: So after some tinkering with permissions i was able to resolve the issue. I believe it had something to do with bixby and full time mic access. Smooth sailing now!

- Tried replacing TWRP with an older version, same issue happened
- Tried going back to a stock recovery but can't find any
- I really just want to a custom ROM on this thing >.>
Can someone point me in the right direction on figuring out my TWRP issues, even if it means starting all the way over? I've had TWRP and Magisk on here for more years than I care to count, so I don't even remember the version it was using. If anyone has recommendations on custom ROMs that would work on this device too, that's much appreciated.

Alright, so I found a guide that said factory reset from TWRP would help but now I can't boot into the OS at all, it keeps bringing me back to TWRP. I'm assuming I need a factory image to fix that but no luck finding one yet.
I have a file in my computer named OWENS_RETAIL_7.1.1_NPR26.58-25_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. It's 1.3GB . Is that the stock rom that you are looking for?
I am looking for a guide to install custom rom into my Moto e4plus so I can install new versions of apps. Is that what you are doing? If so do you mind give me a few pointers once you are successful?
There are a lot of posts on here but I am confused as to which one to follow. My phone is rooted and is on service with Verizon and I don't want to lose either.
