[Q] Problems installing latest EH04 Verizon LTE Galaxytab update - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This update came out 3 days ago, myself and about 3 other people i know with the same Verizon LTE Galaxy Tab SCH-I905 all had this update fail. It downloads fine and then reboots only to have it quickly fail and show the Android guy next to a triangle with a ! in it. My tablet is rooted and has the latest LTE kernel by pershoot (which is excellent by the way). Has anyone else had this problem? I have heard a bunch of ideas, some of them are that it is trying to update verizon bloatware that has been deleted possibly? Any ideas or work around would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think you're expert in Galaxy tab 4G LTE...
Can I unlock this device to use by another carrier?(out side U.S)
Can I use 3G sim or 3G network on it?
I'm waiting your answer dude...

Huh? Dude this has absolutely nothing to do with my question at all. And im sure you could find this answer elsewhere. My answer though is no, it cannot be unlocked or work on another carrier, it is carrier specific. Now back to the question I asked..... If anyone knows I would be very grateful. On a side note does anyone know where the OTA updates get downloaded to before they are installed? Is there a temp or cache directly i can pull it from?

I'm having the exact same problem you are, I wish I knew the answer. You said you're using the latest kernel from pershoot for the LTE tab????? Do you have a link for it, I can't find it anywhere. TIA

---

Ya the problem is very frusterating, are you just rooted with no after market kernel? Here is the link the Pershoots kernel, works great!

Any way that you can go back to stock kernel. I have my LTE rooted, but the only thing I've done is the Netflix "patch". I got the EH04 update 2 days ago and it updated without any problems.

---

I'm assuming the reason why this update fails for everyone is because you are all using CWM, and not the stock recovery. The update needs to have the stock recovery in order to successfully install.

I've been trying to get back to stock since the update failed. I've tried everything I could find online. I'm using a Verizon Galaxy 10.1 same as the original poster with the same exact setup. I found and tried this

by lexriley but no go. I get errors.
If someone could provide a link in the right direction to return to stock recovery or a workaround to get this EH04 patch installed we would all be grateful. Thanks!

Emplox I think you may be right! Thinking about it, it does make complete sense what you are saying. Yes im using CWM. So any ideas how to get rid of it temporarily and get the stock recovery on their so I can get the update?
Thanks again!

May you backup your recovery mode,kernel and upload for me?Thanks

I did a little looking around. I have a rooted 4G LTE but with the stock ROM.
My update was in /cache and was called 86bb1913cfe9.update.bin. It's a zip file so you can pull it with adb, rename it, then unzip it. The update script looks like it's verifying each file plus the recovery plus the boot to make sure they are the original files. It updates the radio, then patches each file (not just replacing with new versions.) It also deletes some files (that shouldn't have been included in the retail build?), and adds a few new ones. Then it updates recovery and boot.
Here's the first part:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4", "/system");
assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/SCH-I905/SCH-I905:3.1/HMJ37/EG01:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/SCH-I905/SCH-I905:3.1/HMJ37/EH04:user/release-keys");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "SCH-I905" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "SCH-I905");
ui_print("Verifying current system...");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/AngryGPS.apk", "f83190da0a30b15b3652b84dbffcde99bbdb6dd9", "61b30e6f16feb44aa454f451ce7a998300a1df40"));
set_progress(0.000347);

set_progress(0.000865);
Here's the first part of the update part:
Code:

Aight here is an update...
I flashed back to stock recovery then wiped it clean. Had to wait until it was 20% charged and then tried the update only to get the Android dude with a yellow triangle and exclamation point. MOFOER! This is just plain ass lame. What does this thing want from me to install the EH04 update! My first born? So currently the only thing that's not stock is the kernel. I'm still using pershoot O.C. kernel. Maybe I need to flash the stock kernel too? This is so dumb. I'll look for an update log tonight to see if I can make sense of this and let you all know. Peace!

Hey trbayth, any chance you can pull those updated/patched files so we can push them with adb or help us out in any other way? Thanks for looking into this. I can't find log files or the update on my tab after downloading and having a failed install.

---

If someone that has already installed the update successfully could simply dump /system, recovery, boot and the kernel and package it up in a tar, we could just odin the update. Matt somebody did that for the EG01 build.

Do you get the triangle on boot logo after update?i have one....is it a bug?how we remove it?

---

I changed the name in /cache to update.zip and somehow it disappeared after reboot. The tablet did revert to stalk recovery but says it is the most current version which is EGO1. Anyone have 86bb1913cfe9.update.bin?
Thanks

Yes, when I downloaded it the last time, I pulled it from my tab to my PC. I'll dropbox it for you when I get home.

For those who need the update file or can't get it to redownload, here you go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20070269/86bb1913cfe9.update.bin place this file in /cache and hopefully the tab will recognize it and prompt you to restart and install. I haven't tried this so let me know how it goes.
