Description of problem: I had the Bionix 1.3 w/voodoo lagfix and OC kernel and then wanted to try the KIES v15 but it KEIS wouldn't recognize the kernel I assumed. I tried to revert to v14 through ODIN and everything went fine until it rebooted. Now it just gets stuck at the black screen after the boot animation.
I can boot into both recovery and download mode and have tried several other ODIN ROMS to see if one of those would work, but no go. Any ideas from anyone?
edit: Just tried doing the True Stock update to put it back to factory spec and same problem, still black screen after boot. The only way you even know that the phone is on is if you touch on of the soft buttons they will light up, just not do anything.
You need to install Froyo ~~~That does not Brick! Downgrading Is Fine first and then install whatever ROM you want after that.
Also, there is no such thing as v14 or v15 there is JI4 and JI5 (that's the letter "I" not a number "1"). Just FYI.
even though at the topin bold it says "Caution!!! You Must be on STOCK Vibrant Rom & NEVER Have Already Flashed the JP3 Froyo Image"?
Remember I had Bionix 1.3
Edit: No go, now I'm at the international Recovery Screen and can't go any further. The volume buttons are reversed and the power button doesn't select anything. The menu key does something, but I can't figure that out yet.
Bionix isn't Froyo, and neither is JI5, so flashing Eugene's Froyo through Odin should work... You might want to click "Re-Partition" when using Odin that might help.
Well, thanks anyway. What I did next was go back to the True Stock update after the Eugene Froyo you mentioned and it booted up just like normal. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Hello!
I've tried root my device a couple weeks ago, and I think it's not worthy. I was looking for some ROM that boosts my battery performance but I can't find any.
I've installed Touchwiz 4.5 (the mod from this forum), I'm running a gingerbread 2.3.4, of course I root my phone following the Chainfire process ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399 ) and unsucessfully installed a battery indicator I've do myself in the UOT kitchen.
So I want my tocuhwiz 4.0 back, keeping my gingerbread 2.3.4 (or even installing 2.3.5 , I saw it was released), I also want to remove the exclamation mark that appears everytime I turn my device on, and of course to unroot my device.
I was told that if I resinstall the Stock firmware (touchwiz and gingerbread) I will be able of updating my device via Kies.
So, is there some kind of order? Do I have to do something before something? Will my device be as when I purschase it? Some tips? Do you know where I can find the Stock firmware?
***IMPORTANT***: First time I rooted (I think I was actually not rooting, just installing Gingerbread via Odin) my device was wiped, and it was a pain in the ass to restore my contacts list, my config, and this kind of stuff.
How can I do a backup? Better with CWM or with Titanium Backup (the non-pro version) ??
Thanks in advance!
Don't get too much going with the device if you don't have time for it, it will get you under confusion and irritation.
► You just have to flash a Stock firmware to Unroot and get all those default stuffs, TW 4.0, GB 2.3.3/4 and else.
Follow this thread to get firmwares,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
► As long as you are on Stock firmware you will get updates via Kies.
Regards.
Restoring the Stocks firmwares will remove the exclamation mark?
And for the back up?
I don't need any backup for my apps, that's why I don't use anything else other than Kies, and don't know about it.
Yes, restoring a Stock firmware will remove the exclamation mark.
Regards.
so ive been reading and looking around a lot, eventually decided to go with the overcome experience and everything is running great, xcept for the ebooks app not working on it for the 3G rogers tab
but what ive been trying to find now is the stock Rogers kernel and recovery files in case something does go wrong with the tab and i need to get it back to stock to submit it back for warranty work
the best ive been able to find is this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405324
which is a stock 3.2, and in the thread people are claiming that it is a Rogers version and has the unnecessary Rogers apps on it
i downloaded it and tried it out, and its not a stock Rogers version, doesn't come with the Rogers apps, and when plugged in to Kies it states its not a version that supports updates through Kies, therefore it definetly isn't a stock Rogers version
Just wondering if anyone knows where i can get the files to be able to get my Tab back to Rogers stock version in case something does happen, or do these files simply not exist and since i already flashed over them it's too late to ever go back to stock?
Thanks
That RUXKK2 is exactly the rom I have right now on my Rogers Tab.
I simply assume it has to be flashed through Odin only;
Kies is for "legit" updates only (and sync) ; it is not a dev nor a recovery tool. Maybe it stated updates were not supported because you are rooted.
Doesnt matter anyway; you will receive updates through Samsung Updates anyway directly on your tablet; you'll simply loose root.
i did use odin to flash that stock rom, and no i wasn't rooted, as the rom itself doesn't come with root by default
all i did was flash with odin, it rebooted, then i completed a factory reset/wipe
and then plugged it in to Kies to see if it was in fact a retail stock version and could get the updates through Kies
i dont really care for updating through Kies as im perfectly happy with overcome mod atm, but i would like to have all the stock rogers files (recovery,kernel and rom or w/e else i need) just in case i ever need to revert back to stock to bring the tablet in for warranty issues
the RUXKK2 rom may be stock, but it definitely doesn't include the stock rogers kernel version
any ideas where those could be found? or if it could be extracted from a nandroid backup? i completed a nandroid backup of my stock device before i flashed overcome
Flashing your Nandroid will get you back to stock no? Thats the purpose of it I thought to get you back to your previous state in case something goes wrong. Nandroid backups are flashed through CWM though not Odin, under Backup and restore options.
Nandroid does not backup the kernel.

Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
yea, nandroid doesnt back up everything :/
i think the stock kernel and stock recovery files to flash through odin is what would be needed, and judging by the replies im getting i don't think those exist out there for the rogers tablet :/
i even checked http://www.samfirmware.com and couldn't really find a rogers or Canadian version, but sure did find ppl on the forums asking about it
if any1 knows how to maybe get those files off a stock tablet, i do have a 2nd GT 10.1 Rogers that has not been changed or modded in any way that i could attempt to extract the kernel and recovery file from if i knew how
I also am looking for a stock rogers rom. I currently run overcome with no issues, but should I need work done under warranty, I need to flash back to stock before I send it in. The link above was what I also found during a forum search, which kies does NOT recognize. Has anyone been able to find or extract the stock rom that comes with a Rogers 10.1 out of the box?
Ooops mistaken threads..
Hey guys,
I've seen some people asking for numbered battery mods for stock or StreakDroid4 2.5.0 ROMs so I put together a simple theme (thanks to UOT Kitchen) and wanted to share it with anyone who is interested.
The theme simply changes the look of status bar and the icons, battery, system menus, adds new Roboto font ( from ICS), ICS window animations and Blue Android boot animation. Also, due to Raven 2 kindly allowing us use some files from his theme, you will now get ICS-like Phone, Contacts, Gallery and Calendar apk. I'm attaching some screenshots so you can get a visual idea.
I'm running on StreakDroid4 2.5.0 but it may also work on the deodexed or stock 408 ROM.
As usual, I do not take any responsibility for any issues that the process may cause - proceed with caution
To install:
1.Download the zip file below
2. Flash via CWM
Big thanks to TheManii for his ROM and Raven 2 for letting us use his files in this theme.
Just in case you were wondering, the screen lock on the first image is Widgetlocker which isn't free, but you can download MagicLocker or MiLocker that have similar look for free. The launchers I used in the shots (just to show different looks) are Go Launcher EX (with ICS theme) and Espier Launcher both are free too. Also shown and used is another free app - Widgetsoid.

Thanks!

Your language is fine, no worries. Thanks for letting us use your files. I'm going to update the OP and attach the new theme file.
I'll try it out on my deoxed 408 and see how it goes. I just put TeamDRH ICS on my Viewsonic GTab (no thanks to Viewsonic - you suck) and would like a consistent interface across devices
Cool, let me know how it works/looks. It isn't the actual ICS UI but the color scheme and other mods at least remind you of one
It works great! I flashed with CWM, cleared cache & delvik, and fixed permissions for good measure. I especially like the battery icon. Now to find a way to port ICS over to this and we will be set. Maybe our new Korean friends are working on that?

Nice, glad to hear that. Yes, I agree about ICS port or a new ROM from our Korean friends would be great. I think one of their main contributors Kukjin11 is going to upload his ROM in a couple of days, so we will see from there
Cool stuff.
Thank you.
thanks, awesome
hey guys iam having the 408 olleh gb running on my phone with ravens theam on top of it..
can i upgrade it to ics them here.. if yes do i have to rename the file that has been given here....
if possible can some one please write the steps since iam very new to this stuff...
thanks alot guys..
hey crainz,
Do you have CWM installed? Are you on deodexed stock 408 ROM created by TheManii? The theme was based on deodexed ROM files from StreakDroid4 2.5.0 (which I use) and I believe it works on the deodexed 408 stock - both of which put together by TheManii. I don't know for sure if it works with a normal odexed ROM - so let's hear from TheManii or anyone else who can verify.
If you have CWM installed, you can easily flash files, like the StreakDroid4 2.5.0 which is basically stock with tweaks and debranded (so no Olleh stuff) and then flash my theme. I recommend you install Titanium backup and back up your apps and data so when you install a new ROM you can restore (or import) you saved data like passwords, shortcuts, game levels, and so on.
Edit: Here's the XDA Wiki page that TheManii created which has the links to SD4 2.5.0 and CWM Recovery downloads:

If you have CWM installed then you can go ahead and install StreakDroid4 2.5.0. However, you would need to do a factory reset first so back your data up using Titanium Backup (this is a free version) and then you can restore all your apps and data once you flashed SD4. After that just flash ICStock theme and you're good to go.
Thank a lot for the information streak4m3
Just 2 more question before i start the process of upgrade.
1. when i installed the CWM using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423002
Ans started the phone i was able to get the CWM to work. But once i shut down the phone again and try
You switch mute to OFF hold both volume buttons down and power on. You will see a menu with 3 options, choose the one to upgrage SW package and choose with the camera button.
iam getting the Blue colour screen. iam not getting the CWM options.
Is this how it is suppose to work or am i doing something wrong.
2.Once i have flashed StreakDroid4 2.5.0 after renaming the file to upgrade.pkg.how do i flash the ICS theam?? IF you could kindly give me the steps that would be great..

OK, first of all you're not supposed to rename SD4 2.5.0 to update.pkg
Let's make sure I understand you correctly. You're saying that you have (or had) CWM installed and you verified that it works (worked), right? That means that you can (could) get to CWM recovery and see all the options, like: reboot system, install zip, wipe cache partition, advanced and so on, correct?
Are you now saying you can't get to CWM recovery? That it somehow goes to Dell stock recovery option which is blue (I think)? CWM mode has blue color text too so that's why it is a little bit confusing.
If you somehow lost CWM recovery just install it again and then simply flash SD4 2.5.0
i have seen the option that come with CWM reboot system, install zip, wipe cache partition, advanced and so on...
This comes once i have installed it using the instruction listed in the post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1423002
i even was able to create a back up the rom on my system using CWM.. which got listed in the sdcard as well.
but once i shutdown the phone and start it again i dont get that CWM again it comes up with the blue dell flash tool.(which is in blue colour again) just like CWM
Just wanted to know if this is the same that happens in you case as well or are you able to get CWM evertime.
(if i install it again Iam able to get it to work once and them again back to the dell flash screen)
Just wanted to know if there is a way by which we can get it permenantly to work without having to flast it again and again..

CWM should be there every time - it's a permanent thing. You can install it again and flash SD4 2.5.0 during that one time that you can get into CWM recovery.
hey
Here is what i did. I flashed SD4 2.5.0 on my phone using CWM.. all went well
Then i flashed your ICS theme.. and restarted the phone.. that went well as well.
But what i did after that was i reset the phone to default using the option in settings.
The phone just stoped working completly.
It got stuck at the Blue Andriod startup... I tryed to do the process all over again...
No luck.... I think i have messed up my phone completly.
But before i started doing all this what i did was i took a back up of my phone using CMW..
So when restored the system back all came back using CWM the phone was back and working again...
What did i do wrong..... and is there any better way of doing this???

Not really sure what exactly may have happened in your situation. So are you up and running again? And why did you want to do a factory reset after flashing SD4 2.5.0?
If you're phone is not up and runing right now then you need to get to CWM if you can and just reflash SD4 and the theme. If you can't get to CWM, then you need to restore your phone using TheManii's steps in his thread for unbricking your phone (basically you would need to flash via fastboot options).
I am at complete wits end. I had to Odin back to 2.1 Eclair, I want to go to Jelly bean 4.2 but I cannot for the life of me flash to Froyo as I cannot find Froyo ROMs. I also have tried to flash to 4.2 but of course this is not working.. I am still stuck on Eclair 2.1 and every time I try to flash a ROM it will not work nor can I use my Nand back up I have to completely Odin back. I think it may have something to the effect that I may have a Gingerbread bootloader. I have searched and searched since 5:30pm and it is now 2:30am. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Is there a "strange" thing I need to do to jump to Froyo. Even more frustrating is that when I think I do find a file or link it is already down or out of service or 404. Thanks for any help with this.
And yes I have been up and down these posts.
