[Q] Knowing the origin of my tablet - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
My tablet (GT-P7510 16gb) starts working really weird two or three months ago, (flickering screen by moments) nowdays the tablet is impossible to use because i am not able to see anything, so i have tried a lot of firmwares putting the tablet in recovery mode by guessing when to press the up volume becuase the screen is not showing anything or elegible things but i am not having any luck.
The back of the tablet says made from korea but when check samsumg DB there is not korea's firmware to download.
I have tried the thread wheres explain how to remove the flickering issues, but none of the fixed.
Any ideas on how to know my stock firmware? because after trying too many firmware i can't remember what is the correct one to use and search for it.
Thanks in advance. :good:
Best Regards :laugh:

[Q] ViewPad 10s calibration issue

Last month, buy a ViewPad 10s. Great device. Thanks to this forum I can install the market and install many things. Until one day, after seeing a movie (Mobo player) I started missing the touch screen. I could not even unlock it!. I turned it off and set aside. The next day started as if nothing had happened. But with the passing of a few days, began to fail often, and not resolved by switching off. Until today that is totally screwed. Not react as it should, and I can not access at all to any of the functions. Here's a short video of what I'm telling you.
(search in youtube "viewpad 10s touch screen problem", the one from chgalvez user)
I've tried calibrate.ini, and almost all .apk calibration apps that are in the forum. I've try as last chance to upgrade with an official rom from viewsonic(1.09), but dont' work neither.
Anyway I think I can't prove anything more as the touchscreen almost no response at all.
Anyone have an idea if there a method to calibrate from the outside, with a USB cable or something?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english...
Wish I could help, but you are posting in the VPAD7 forum - the hardware & firmware are different - you need to go to the Viewsonic Gtablets forum (10" screen size) as folks over there should be better able to help you.
Assuming you are running unrooted device & stock/OEM ROM's - correct?
Best of luck !
Oh, OK, thanks! the device is rooted( z4root method, OK in 1st chance, no problems) and the Fw is an original upgrade from viewsonic....

Any Android guru near San Francisco?

Hey guys,
A newbie Android user here, got my first smartphone on Android OS about a week and half ago..
Like an idiot, I was following random guide online to update my firmware to gingerbread 2.3.5 (http://androidflip.com/install-andr...-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-installing-guide/) and it completely messed up on me.
Symptoms: My phone only starts up in recovery mode, and while it's booting up in yellow letters, it messes up at "Application Update" section and some red sentences come up.. It passes by too fast for me to type everything. Then it will go into the recovery selection screen, but I can't make any of the choices though I can scroll up and down using my volume key. I can still make it go into Download mode, but it is no longer recognized by my computer as a USB source so I can't really flash anything else...
I have tried reinstalling KIES and the Samsung drivers, but no luck..
If anyone near SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, USA is willing to help me with this, I am more than happy to provide good compensation for the service... It seems like a minor issue that is easy to fix for an expert but for a newbie like it, this is all hell breaking loose
Thanks for reading, and have a nice day, everyone.

[Q] Stuck at boot "Password Failure"? Please advices

Hi everyone, I've been lurking around here unregistered since I got my first Android device last year, namely the ZTE Blade.
Now however, I'd love to get help because somehow I've managed to make my brand-new tablet not to boot, and I seek expertise from the experts.
I've searched around both Google and here on XDA, but haven't found anything because I don't know how to search for it, due to the fact that the error is in Chinese.
So to make a story short I just arrived today from a trip in HongKong.
I was very pleased with my ZTE Blade so I decided I'd buy a cheap Android-running tablet during my stay, and so I did.
I got myself an "Acho C908", which I tested in the store first. May be an unknown brand, but it's a really nice tablet.
It sure has nice specifications and I was pleased with the performance for the price I payed, however I managed to make things worse.
Everything was going good except I couldn't install any apps in Playstore, I always got the “Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-09″. So I searched this error up and found the guide: ...technipages.com/google-play-error-processing-purchase.html
I followed the guide and cleared the data from Google Services Framework. However, after doing so things got bad. My tablet began to freeze so I restarted it. After it booted the "explorer" (forgot the name in Android, refering to Windows-term) didn't answer and crashed and the tablet froze again.
So I rebooted it again and here's where I got stuck.
The thing is that I don't seem to have bricked my tablet, because I'm able to pass the boot logo, however I'm getting stuck at something else. The worse thing is that because of the tablet being a Chinese one, the text is in Chinese! However, this happened to me at the airport when I was heading back from HongKong so I managed to ask some Chinese people.
Here's the "error".
XXX.img692.imageshack.us/img692/4594/tableth.jpg
(please replace the XXX with WWW)
From what the Chinese people I asked told me, it says something about "Password Failure" and that I would need to "Reset to Default Settings"?
I have tried to enter some sort of Factory Settings/Hard Reset mode, but holding Volume+ or Volume- or both together during turn on of the device yielded nothing but getting stuck at the first logo during start-up, namely "ACHO".
So do you have any guesses on what to do?
I actually bought two of these tablets, one for me and one for my father. So if there's any information on the working tablet you would need to help me, I would be able to provide you with that.
I'd love to get my new tablet working.
Thank you very much in advance.

Serioux HD TAB S805TAB

Hello everyone!
I'm new arround and I came here hoping to solve some stuff regarding this tablet.
It is sold in Romania under SERIOUX brand:
http://www.serioux.com/products/tabl...hd-tab-s805tab
I have a model with A10 ALLWINER, not ROCKCHIP. They had problems with the chinese manufacturer and decided to build it with rockchip.
I'm stuck at original ROM, I have no CWM, tablet is rooted, default browser is horrible, even with opera or any other browsers... I have this big lag when loadind web pages and this should not be normal... There is no such problem as low wifi signal or any other hardware stuff, no, it is just imossible to surf the web...
It has Android 4.0.4.
I made a request to this vendor, importer, SERIOUX, for another firmware but they only provided me the stock rom last year... which I already mention it, it is HORRIBLE!!! I never heard from them since then so I'm stuck with this rubbish stock ROM.
Tried to find a simmilar product on the web, I even made some attempts to install some ROMs but without a succes... either camera not working, or touch or wifi and so on... I don't know what to do.
Don't want to buy another product because the tablet belong to my daughter and is in the learning process so... I am gonna still hold on to it, but I need some help getting it better!!!
The site which sell a tablet simmilar to mine is KOCASO from USA... tried their ROM but no luck.
I even sent them an email but no answer from them more than six months or so...

Thank you in advance for anyone who can lend a hand in this matter!
Cheers,

Ehhh... I kinda moved on on this.
Anyway, I have a broken touchscreen now so it is useless.
Bought an ASUS Fonepad for my daughter so SERIOUX is a scrap! Stupid low end brands...

galaxy alpha issues

Hi everybody i am asking for advice on trying to repair a phone for a family member the phone is a galaxy alpha F variant UK stock rom, factory unlocked and unrooted the problem started after finishing a call the handset was left un attended and when it was later picked up the screen was black but does not appear broken aywhere and does not appear to respond to touch
i have tried un successfully to get it into recovery or download modes the handset turns on and the blue lights come on and you can hear the start up tone but see nothing on screen, it also charges and i have tried a new battery, odin does recognise a device but as i cant get it into download i cant flash a stock rom which i have already downloaded.
So my question is, is there any software that i can download to diagnose whether or not the screen is dead or whether it is a f/w issue or is there a way around this where i can use a different tool to get into the handset and flash a new stock rom in case the current f/w is corrupted
Thanks in advance for any useful help and advice
Please understand that i am a newb to this so if i have made some mistakes or my questions have been answered elsewhere previously i do apologise
I think it seems pretty obvious that the problem is the display itself
Hi BigHands,
I faced a problem having the exact same symptoms as yours twice in the last few month: screen was staying black but phone reacted to some "external" actions (ON/OFF), blue light.
Not sure what happened exactly, but removing the battery and trying to restart the phone finally brought the device back to life after trying more than than 10 times!!!
So in my case, the display was probably not the (only) root cause.
Really weird however that I needed to reboot the phone >10times to make it work: usually when software is screwed either one single power cycle will bring the device back to life or it will never power up again!
Anyways, a FW issue is still a possibility considering the number of bug this phone has (for the price it was sold, that phone is definitely the worse gadget I ever owned!)... But it seems there is a bunch of FW updates on going on this model accross the world, so there is still a little hope things might improve... Samsumg may have woken up; who knows...
