[Q] Galaxy Tab 10 fails to boot after installing BusyBox - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, it seems I've broken my android device down just right after I bought it.
I tried to enable connecting to AdHoc wi-fi network on my laptop following a guide from galaxytabhacks.com and in order to do that I needed my device to be rooted and busybox installed. There were no problems with the first step, but my device crashed after installing busybox: after Samsung logo appears, I see artifacts on the screen and nothing happens.
I performed wipe data/factory reset via ClockworkMod but it didn't help.
Now I've formatted /system and I'm gonna download full version of official firmware and flash it using Odin. Am I doing it the right way? Will my device survive after crash I've just described?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Seems I have the absolute identical problem...
Did you find a way to solve it?
Thanx in advance!

[Q] Problem: I think I deleted my OS.

Problem: I think I deleted my OS.
Here's what happened, i rooted my Samsung Note 10.1 using the clockwork mode with the super SU, then it went fine, I installed apps I got on net, then (after 4 months) i got a glitch wherein I cant copy/paste words, so I decided to reset to factory setting, then done. I thought of other way to root my tablet. I went to setting where it says Encrypt device, I started encrypting then interrupted it, when it rebooted it says that encryption interruped and I need to rest to factory setting then try to encrypt again, and asks to press the reset device, and I did. What happened is it keeps going back to encryption failure message and I keep on pressing reset device till it will only turn on with the SAMSUNG NOTE 10.1 Logo (the startup logo), then I tried installing clockwork mode again, and select wipe factory reset, and wipe cache partition and almsot all wiping option, so obviously i wiped my OS. I tried installing the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich following this guide on youtube Guide - How To_ Install Official Android Ice-cream Sandwich (cant post the link). When I followed it all it always failed in the end, and on my tablet it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again", and I cant connect to Kies and PC to do the firmware emergency recovery. Now I'm stuck in there and kind of thinks that I'm lost and totally broke my tablet. But still I can be in download mode.
Any brilliant answers guys. Thanks much in advance.
Back Up
Is a fast connection needed while installing the OS via Odin since it says Firmware Update Started?
And can anyone send me a links to download a functioning Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich OS, please.

I'm not sure if this will help but Heimdall might fix this problem, whenever I fix my device after stuffing up a flash (happens often so don't worry!) I use both Heimdall and Odin to fix it, I have never been completely stuffed because of those two tools. My best advice is to search the Note 10.1 forums, they normally have the stock android or a new and better ROM ready to be flashed. It's good that you can access download mode which means its only soft-bricked, so just check your forums and that should help you fix it

[Q] Allwinner A13 CWM boot & Touchscreen failure

Hello everyone,
Here is my problem of which I hope you can help me out.
I own a Allwinner A13 7 inch tablet, on which I installed the Cyanogen 10 mod (Due to restrictions I cannot place the link to the mod)
The problem is I probably installed the wrong touchscreen driver, so the tablet boots perfectly into the Mod but I can't do anything.
Normally it would be no problem to just put back my backup, but I can't get it to boot into CWM.
In the first place I rebooted into CWM to instal the mod by adding the following command through the "terminal app" before rebooting,
Command: "echo -e 'boot-recovery\0' > /dev/block/nandf; sync"
Now I cannot use the screen so i cant use the terminal.
I also cannot use ADB because USB debugging is standard switched of after flashing a new MOD.
Does anyone know if there is another way to get into CWM??
Thanks a LOT!
Thanks a lot!
I will have a look
Do you by change know where to get a working stock rom? I flashed one which i found using google a couple of times but it only results in a Boot loop (I have no luck at all!).
Thanks!
Update: found a stock version that works. But no my touchscreen is inverted.
Also I probably made another **** up, because I accepted the format option of Livesuit, so now I lost my backup.....

[Q] Device got reset after every reboot or shutdown

Hi guys. I have problem with my funbook infinity.:crying: After I uninstalled busybox X from my device it gone crazy. When I try to shutdown and turn it on then it shows the reset page, even I complete the reset process (e.g fill up my name, date-time, google account) then I goto Settings-->Storage there I saw that my zero size internal storage. I think this is because of busybox am I right ?? By the way my funbook is running ICS 4.0.4 . I can't do any root work because i unrooted my device after i uninstalled busybox. I also cant re-root my device because after the reboot by root process the device shows the reset page. :crying: Plzzzz Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :good:

[Q] [HELP] ZTE Kis Pro - RO Orange Zali problem

Hi xda-developers. I'm iDatFuuzy and i have this little (huge) problem. So, I was messing with some ROMs on my phone (Orange Zali RO) when I install an messed up boot animation (the actual messed up part is the resolution i think). Then I was like <OK. Reboot should help.> So I rebooted and I simply booted to android but with one problem: everything is INVISIBLE. I still can push buttons and stuff and I can hear if someone calls me but I can't see a thing ! I then tried to factory reset from the recovery, but that didn't fix, since it only formatted my Data and my cache folders. After that, I tried to re-install the Stock-ROM and I had another problem then: After verifying update package, at the half it says this: Installation Aborted. I have downloaded the OFFICIAL ROM from ztedevices.com and I have not modified it in any sort of way. So, can I fix this somehow ? I tried messing with my updater-script without any help. BTW before this happened (about 5months) I rooted my phone so THAT is not the reason for this.

Unable to set property ro.boottime.init.mount.cache after upgrade firmware with Odin

I'm having a strange issue after flashing latest firmware on my Tab S7 (SM-T870)...
When I try to flash an update with odin I'm using "HOME_CSC" as I want to keep the data on the device. However it results in a boot loop to recovery where I have 3 options
1. Restart the phone
2. Factory reset
3. Check logs
Restarting the phone just restarts it and boots to the same menu.
I've checked the logs and saw an error saying:
Unable to set property "ro.boottime.init.mount.cache"
I've tried wiping cache in recovery as well, but that didn't help.
Anyone here who can help me out?
Thanks!

Maybe try to reflash previous firmware version.
There is no need to run after the lastest update.

No I tried it but only factory reset does help -.-
This is why I hate Samsung for Security reasons after a f***ing Update ...
I have the same problem, but i didn't update from Odin.
Just OTA september update, and the phone randomly goes in bootloop like once in a week.
Same here. Does anyone have any news?
same here. im in a bootloop and not even factory reset helps. i can access recovery and download mode and have flashed newest firmware three times via Odin with "pass," wiped cache, name it i've done it. I'm despondent. Does
Samsung not have the equivalent of Oneplus's MSM tool? four days have i worked furiously to save my phone.
sorry to revive, but I'm having this issue as well on my z fold 4.
Factory reset helped for about a week, and back to bootloops every 3 min or so.
PASS received in Odin, had to use micro usb cable with C-adapter as c->c did not allow Odin to complete flash (stuck at ~95% on "Super").
Not sure which error in the logs apply, but the "unable to set property "ro.boottime.init.mount.cache" to "0": error code: 0xb, try count 1-3" seem to be cause for alarm.
Has anyone fixed this?
