Dear colleagues,
I'm facing a very frequent problem with flickering/rolling screen after unlocking on my P7510 Table (Europe version).
I just upgraded for the first time from original Samsung ROM directly to "[KK4.4]Omni ROM". I'm running the latest CWM 6..... There is no flickering/rolling on CWM screen. There is no problem with the Omni rom, everything works fine (Wifi, ...).
However after switching the screen Off/On flickering/rolling appears what makes table unusable.
I spent hours reading post regarding this issue but found nothing useless.
Please help.
For those that fall in the same troubles I'm posting a step by step guide how to fix this problem
- boot into downloading mode
- flash stock rom (P7510XWMPE_P7510OXXMPB_XEZ) using Odin1.85 (PDA option)
- flash CWM (ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx.tar) in the same way
- reboot (stock ROM boots up) and attach tablet to computer through USB
- copy A1 kernel(A1-p4-1.9-3G-cm.zip), SU package(UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.85.zip), CM ROM (cm-10.2-20131028-DiamondROM-p4wifi.zip) and GAPPS(gapps-jb-20130813-signed-4.3.zip) to android root directory
- reboot table into CWM
- install software from SD card in following order: A1 kernel, SU package, CM ROM, GAPPS
- reboot (CM boots up)
- install ROM manager from PlayStore and update CWM (currently 6.0.3...)
There was one additional thing. When I was trying to install CM ROM an error ocured (getprop ...). So I had to manually edit updated-script file and remove first line (assert ...). Then CM ROM was installed with no problem.
Same Issue
Hi,
i have the same issue here. Tried with OmniRom and with Nameless Rom. Both boot up okay but after screen lock and unlock the screen is scrambled.
Your solution is to install a CM10.2 Rom (which is Jelly Bean). Is there also a solution for KitKat?
Currently i tried omni-4.4.4-20140620-p4wifi-HOMEMADE.zip and nameless-4.4.4-20141019-p4wifi-HOMEMADE.zip. Flashed the bootloader from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41 . Any recommondations to work around the lock/unlock issue?

I don't have the same issue but I am not sure if it's because I am using Nova Launcher. Anyway, you can try the following configuration and see if this problem goes away (copied from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716016):
Go to developer settings:
Activate "Force GPU rendering"
Active "Disable HW-overlays"
I like this KK rom better than the CM10.1 JB Rom.
Hi dookie23,
thanks for your reply. I just tried it, and it did not work.
My issue is not, that the content in the video memory is wrong, but the video memory is not rendered correctly to the screen. To get an impression, have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738
Obviously the graphic HW is not initialized correctly when resuming... I have no clue, why this happens with my tablet.
I know the solution to this problem. This is caused by the bootloader. The way to fix this, only confirmed on GT-P7510 on Nameless 4.4.4 rom.
You need to download this file and flash it via ODIN under 'BOOTLOADER'.
Link: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/
Look for 'US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip' in that link. Make sure you extract the zip file of course for the tar file to flash for bootloader.
The tar file should be called: '4.0.4_bootloader.tar'

Hi Benjamen50,
thanks a lot -i tried your solution that did the job. Now i can use the tablet again. I am using Omnirom and this works fine as well (i did not try nameless rom).
thanks so much!
I've had the same problem on my p7500. Installed the nameless 4.4.4 rom, worked fine until the screen went into sleep mode or when I pressed the on/of button. I flashed the bootloader as you suggested and "bam !" It all works fine. Thanks so much !

Hey Guys.
So I have a Tab 10.1, bought by me in the UK, tho I believe the model I have is a French one (bought it from Expansys) as that's the language it started up in.
I have tried to root my tab, using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185/
However, no matter what rom I try to install, my screen ends up flickering with lots of lines across it, after about 5 mintues, rendering it useless. I have tried to install a stock rom, and unroot using Odin. I downloaded Root Checker from the market and it says I am now not rooted. I am currently running a stock 3.1 Rom.
But I don't know what to do now. Whatever rom I seem to choose to flash I still get the flickering issue.
I also got the flickering in CWM, but got it working using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41
but it didn't stop the flickering when I installed a new rom.
Can someone help, pleaseeeeeeee? :fingers-crossed:
Ok, I seem to have fixed the screen flickering.
I did this by flashing the file P7510XABKMN_P7510UEKMM_HOME.tar.md5 (which was in a file I found called sgt10.1_root_unroot) through Odin.
I'm not sure how to root and/or flash now as I don't want the same problems again.
I have no CWM because when I boot into recovery I have no option to install zip from SD card.
My About Section tells me:
Model Number GT-P7510
Android 3.2
Build No. HTJ85B.UEKMM P7510UEKMM
So I am guessing I have managed to get a stock rom back on the device, which has solved the flickering isses.
I have no Superuser and so am not rooted.
My aim is to install Tasker 14.
Does anyone know the reason why I got the flickering from Clockwork, and how I can flash without getting it?
Going to go to bed now since I've rescued its functionality! I'll get back on trying to flash it tomorrow.
Thanks
So I managed to root and install CWM again, flickering seemed to not exist.
I then tried to flash Task 14 and have the screen flickering again.
I flashed the bootloader file before I did any of this, as of these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41
Hope u have got the solution now

Thanks for your reply.
Weirdly, the AOKP, CM9, and my current rom Overcome all work on my tablet, without the screen issues. The only time I get the screen scrambling is when install Task 14 (tried both fat and slim versions). This is on a clean install.
No idea why this is. But I'm happy the screen issues are sorted and I'm now running the modified honeycomb rom that is Overcome. Just got to wait for the Camera drivers for ICS

Hi there,
I installed custom ROM on my Lenovo S890 phone, which works great and has all I need. But there is this problem (similar like in this post forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125812). When I try wake up the phone from standby mode, all I see is a dark screen with vertical stripes of several colors all over it. I can however set volume and even the display responses after pushing buttons it vibrates. So it works, but the screen is broken.
When I install original ROM, everything works fine. But when I install any of these custom ROMs found on needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/s890/ I have the same issue with the screen.
Does anyone had similar issue with his phone? I'm currently trying to fix this problem with software jBART v0.7.9 - I decompiled the original ROM that works fine and also decompiled the custom ROM I want to fix. Then I'm trying to copy files from original to custom ROM, hoping somehow I overwrite possibly broken files and everything should work afterwards.
Any help or advice is welcome
So little update:
I am still experiencing the same problem. On official chinese ROM it works fine (but chinese ROM is not useful at all for me). I installed 6 custom ROMs and on each of them I have this same problem with screen.
I discovered, that the problem is not instant - when I wipe all data and make brand new installation of ROM, first thing that pops up is Settings wizard (the app from Google where you select language, enter your gmail account etc). And while in this app, the screen lock works fine!
After I am done with settings and exit this wizard, the home screen loads. And then the problem with black screen starts.
Now, I tried to delete default launcher.apk and replaced it with 4 different, but the problem is still the same at the same point. So while I am at the settings it's ok, after I am finished with settings and exit the app, it brokes.
Does anyone have any idea, where the problem could be?
I recently bought this phone, and I am searching for many hours to find out how to flash a custom ROM. I found some instructions in bad english, I found ROMs with missing files or with with problem in unzipping, I found drivers that I need to install but do not seem to get installed, etc etc.
I am very confused and I am afraid to do something that I am not sure of, because I may brick my phone.
WellBloud_cz, please tell me the steps to install a custom ROM (in brief, I am not a computer newbie) and then I will tell you if I have the same problem on the screen.

Hi, first of all - do you really need to flash custom ROM? Is there anything wrong with your current ROM? You have to consider all the facts, if it's worth the trouble. If you want install custom ROM, just because it looks cooler, you can install different launcher/change theme etc. If you have serious problem with your current ROM, like it does not work like you want, then I suggest you try diferrent ROMs...
If you still want to install custom ROM, then
backup everything everytime!
if you can switch your phone to recovery mode, install from recovery mode - you can download a .zip file containing ROM (you can try some from needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/s890/
after the installation make sure everything works properly, so you don't have to debug for a year (for example - I recently discovered that battery didn't last even for a single day... After close inspection I manage to fix it - the media app was the problem, it used all of phone's energy, so I have to restart it and then everything is fine and battery holds up to 3,5 days)
if you can't install from recovery mode, try flashing your phone with Flash tools - make sure you have good recovery mode included (like TWRP)
then you have 2 options - either install via recovery mode .zip files or flash whole new ROM on your phone via Flash tools
if you success, make sure you can set your IMEI - otherwise you can't send messages and make no phone calls. If you have IMEI set to some nonsense like 123456789, then download and use MtkDroidTools v245, where you can root your phone and also change your IMEI numbers
also make sure that the ROM you are installing is in your favorite language. If not, you can use More locale app, which translates most of the content. If you want, you can make your own translations with jBart, but it's long process
lastly check if ROMs have Google play, because majority of apps can be downloaded from there

If you have more questions, be more specific

Unfortunatelly I did not solve it, but i got rid of it by simply finding another ROM and installing it instead. What I actually did - downloaded original chinese ROM and installed it. Everything on it worked, so I modified it and now it's almost perfect

Q&A for [ROM][4.4.4][YP-G70] Carbon ROM For Galaxy Player 5 [METICULUS]

Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Encryption possible on Carbon ROM 4.4.4 for the YP-G70?
I have installed and love the Carbon ROM 4.4.4 (10012014 version) on my YP-G70. Problem: When I try to encrypt the Android logo appears (green droid) as a splash screen with no text at all, and encryption does not start. In fact nothing is happening and it is possible to return to normal use. The forum will not yet let me post links but the symptoms are identical to a thread on forum.cyanogenmod.org where the problem is diagnosed as the filesystem cannot extend into the last 16 Kbytes of the partition where the crypto footer is kept. However, when I followed this line I soon concluded that following the advised solution (subtract few Kbytes (more than 16) off the /data partition and redo the partition) does not work for me because LVM is implemented in this ROM and my data partition is therefore /dev/lvpool/data (and does not appear with the ~ # cat /proc/partitions command anyway).
I've googled and not found a way round this. Can anybody help me? If it is not possible to encrypt in this ROM, I've also read (another link I can't post) on github where Meticulus discusses reverting to a pre LVM ROM. Any suggestions on what sort of compatible recent ROM I could try that would contain a kernel not use LVM? This seems to be a pretty obscure subject and I much appreciate any help.
Thanks

I can't say much about device encryption; never tried it and don't want to. However I can say a couple things about LVM that might help you.
LVM was not implemented until KitKat, so any custom ROM before KitKat will not have LVM
The LVM binary is located at /lvm/sbin/lvm and if I remember correctly there are commands you can issue to resize an lvm partition (Google the lvm man page if you want to try it) and (if indeed that is the actual problem)
Good luck

I just wanted to say thanks for this. I went back to your Slim Bean ROM and tried to change the partitions per the research I had done but after much work only succeeded in soft bricking the device. Anyway, I wanted to let you know I ended up in exactly the same situation as the guy in this thread you responded to forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609692 with an inability to re-flash your slim bean or carbon (status 7 errors in CWM and failure to mount/format sdcard, data and emmc) in spite of having the exact fdisk partition table as his. I followed the steps you suggested in that thread including going back to stock and eventually, like the poster, ended up with Android System Recovery <3e> and a bunch of failed to mount cache errors. I kept trying to reflash Entrophy512's Daily Driver in Odin but to make matters worse the device wasn't charging - just getting hot - so it was cycling and I think preventing a good flash of anything. Eventually I did get that flashed and the device began charging properly, then booted to Samsung stock. However, it still wouldn't recognize the internal storage sdcard and wouldn't mount or format it. Attempts to flash your slim bean still failed with status 7 errors.
So, like that poster, I then tried flashing CM (I used CM9 figuring the older the better). Lo and behold, that flashed and when it booted there was a pause while it said "preparing sdcard", then when it finished I had my 5GB internal storage back. Then I was able to flash your Slim Bean and Carbon as usual - completely repaired.
To get to the point, I just thought you might be interested to know that there do seem to be times when a flash of CM may repair some partition related matters, I have absolutely no idea why, but thought it might help you to know... As for encryption, I may consign that one to the long term list for now (CM didn't seem to allow that either)!
Most importantly, thanks again for all the great work, websites, forum help and quick responses!

About BCMON
Do Bcmon supported this device because it has a broadcom chipset. I already installed bcmon.apk , open it and enabled monitor mode, freezes for like 10 seconds and it doesnt work. It stays in enable monitor mode also the Wi.Fi doesnt turn on now when I open "monitor mode", need to restart to fix the problem. Anyway the bug has to do with the rom compatibility ? or the device of broadcom ? Can you fix this please ?

Whick kernel to use ??
Can u please tell me that which kernel do we have to use with your carbon rom build CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20141022-1740-venturi.zip . i currently have rj's custom kernel v 14 and when i tried to flash it my player got stuck in infinite bootloop . The only thing i can acces now is cwm recovery and Download mode. Can you please reply and also tell how can i exit the bootloop. Thank you very much. Also, i have SGP 5.0 with physical home button so i guess its the internation version only.
I always use the kernel provided with the ROM, it's tested and tried by the developer.

I might be a little late to the party, but did you wipe the cache partition, perform a factory reset, wipe Dalvik cache, and then install the latest stable Carbon build? The kernel that the newest stable Carbon build, Nutella Kernel, is unified with the build, so flashing it is like a 2 - in - 1 flash. Remember to get the latest Mini Modular Package version of PA GApps for 4.4.x!

If you go back through the previous few posts you will see that I did various experiments trying to get the player encrypted and at various stages had to get back to stock from some really nasty positions. I had to be really really persistent with Odin then - I had the device apparently power cycling so it was not awake long enough to work I guess. I just had to try over and over. Also you may like to try installing the Dr Wondershare (recovery file tool) on your just because this will install different drivers for the device which worked better for me: the tool is a free download/install, you only pay if you need the recovery aspects so it's worth a try. Obviously if odin doesn't work put in download mode (hold voldown and then power on)... Good luck. I got through it and reflashed Carbon (I'm now using the player as a remote control for Foobar2000 and Windows Media Center on my HTPC).

AND the cable will not charge the player unless I reboot it with cable installed. ALSO if I power down all the way and hook the data cable up the player reboots instead of staying powered off and charging.

Firstly thanks to trul3 for your help .
Ok problem fixed after i downloaded android 4.4.2 from sammobile and installed it with odin 3.07 but it did not boot into the system whilst it had kitkat installed , it kept on having a boot loop on the samsung logo so i decided to downgrade it to stock rom 4.2.2 and it worked the image size problem was fixed but now there is no signal , no bluetooth , no wifi , no ime , no sound also doesnt record either video or audio and it says set warant bit kernel on startup .
Anyone please help me solve this new problem now.
And that's why I warned about to be sure what version of Android you want - from 4.4 there is NOT way back to 4.2 without problems... KitKat have new version of bootloader and is NOT downgradable... at least without serious problems, soft brick included. Now I do not know what to do - imao you can try to download (once more) stock ROM 4.4 and to try flash it using Odin... but lack of IMEI is sign of possible massive damage of internal partition configuration. It is important to know which wersion of Android did you have BEFORE installing custom ROM first time, that means what was your LAST stock ROM?
There is another possibility - you can try to install MegaFire ROM from @meglomanic14 which is in fact stock 4.2 rom but greately improved. This can be safely installed even on 4.4 rom's. The link to thread you can find in my sig. But bear in mind, so it is rom for I9205 so if you greatly value FMRadio in your phone, you shout forget about it - I9205 is LTE version vithout FM Radio. There is either 4.4 version of megalomanic14 rom - MegaKat, but it required special manner of instalation.
ok i wanna try to install megafire , the radio is not important to me i can do without it can you tell me how i can go about it.
solved problem
After trying so many different methods to fix my phone i finally got a way to fix the problem and now i will give the solution in order for someone who has the same problem to be able to fix it .
At first i tried updating my galaxy mega i9200 to 4.4 kitkat using O.T.A but after installation the phone started to have a boot loop so i decided to root the device which ended up causing my warrant to become void now my phone starts up with a message written in yellow written set warrant bit kernel , i tried to downgrade it back to its stock rom 4.2.2 but upon installation using odin 3.0.7 i installed the wrong country firmware which resulted in my device having errors written image size too large ....... after this i tried installing megakat 22v but still it didn't work it only started to freeze on the Samsung logo . I later on used Samsung kies to help me find the country which my device firmware was made from , the steps are as follows on Samsung kies go to tool/firmware upgrade and initialization/model (type GT-I9200)/serial number (type -------)/..
After i got my original firmware which was Thailand *(THL) i tried to install with odin 3.0.7 but it failed so kept on trying different firmwares until the one from Egypt worked but when it booted there was no sound , no Bluetooth , couldn't recording sound or video no WiFi and ime was null/null so i decided to download kitkat from the firmware manufacturer Thailand (THL) from androidxda but this time instead of installing the kitkat i opened the I9200XXUCNC2_I9200OLBCNC1_I9200XXUCNC2_HOME.tar .md5 file with 7zip and extracted a file called NON-HLOS.bin its 49.5mb in size this is a file that contains the modems of the phone and other files required for sound and ime , so i put my phone in download mode and opened odin 3.0.9 . I loaded the NON-HLOS.bin file into odin through CP and i hit start after the install the phone was perfect everything worked fine the ime is restored and all is well .
Thank you all who had suggestions on how i could fix this problem .:victory:
Gosh you did all this ridiculous nonsense when you could've fixed your bootloop on your initial 4.4 install by just booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset.
the factory reset did not work i tried it whilst i had restored the phone to custom rom , it still had the same problem thats why i used that "ridiculous method " .
Man plzz i need the link for the kitkat

You would be best off just reflashing stock ROM in Odin
hello, im just recently flashing FTF files to my z ultra, and its works fine until i left my phone idle for a while, and when checking back all sound input / output is gone. Totally gone, cant receive a call, no sound all only vibrate, mic also disabled, i must restart then the sound will back.
I already try to flash another FTF and it also having the same problem. Is it bug from 5.1.1 ? what should i do ? im not to advanced in android. Thanks
what FTF files that I used : C6802_Customized+TH_14.6.A.0.368.ftf and C6802_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8963_Customized-MEA.ftf
both of them sharing the same problem, randomly no sound after idle ( screen of for a while )
Do you wipe before/after you've flashed it/them? Also, I would probably have flashed an older FTF just to check that it's a software issue and not a hardware one (not that any hardware issue would do these things), but just to be sure. If the same issue happens on a lower firmware, then it's a little harder to determine what the issue might be.
Also, try to flash an FTF from your region or one that's fairly close. I flashed a Saudi Arabian .368 FTF the first time, and I had major issues with battery and other smaller bugs, but when I flashed one from my region (Europe), it solved itself. I just think you're having some bad luck, and it sounds like some software issues. Don't forget to wipe the system before or after you've flashed it.
Im flashing using flashtool, i suppose i already wipe, and im trying to find the stock version, but it seem i cant find a proper one, im trying to find the unmodifed / original one. but it seem all dead link, when i found one, i flash and it stuck at bootloop. So i just go back to the 5.1.1, which have the bug like that.
Anyway, the C6802 tft is limited, can i use another C6833 ftf ?

Okay, I'm going to make an Indonesian C6802 FTF for you, so just hang tight for a little while and I'll have it for you soon (20-30 min).

thanks, ill try, i hope its working...
Hello, im upping this thread...
its still not working, the sound still have same bug...
it seem something weird around bootloader stuff, i find my phone is unlocked bootloader.
is anyone know that unlocking bootloader can make sony xperia z ultra no sound bug like this ?
anywork around ?
i already try installing custom rom, but all my custom rom i try is stuck at bootloop, or just wont stick ( it detected as no OS and just keep on SONY logo )
any recommendation of custom rom that i should try ?
and im really newbie here, all recovery that i install is gone after i flash custom rom, so its really hard to flash rom, root, install recovery and install custom rom which is a dead end ( bootloop )
*its really weird bug...
sometime sony camera app also wont open ( app crash ) + no sound
after rebooting 2-3x its fix both of them, after screen go to sleep
sound is gone, and the camera still works fine until i reboot or no battery ( repeat reboot and it fix the camera and sound ( temporary )
>> relock bootloader, and restore with official software ( pc companion ) still not fix this bug.
You use Google play "soundabout" app .workaround. will restore sound

it still cant, it seem something wrong with audio engine / system files. when i press 'play' button on walkman it didnt changed.
all sound app didnt work and saying something wrong
as for camera, i cant use sony default camera, but i can use other camera app, such as google camera. but as the audio all 3rd party app not working either directly crash or just stay still play button can be pressed.
up again...
trying installing custom rom ( resurection remix ) now it success, with xz dual recovery
but still no sound comming out, camera is working fine.
anyone experience the same problem ? sony rom and stock make camera app crashed and no sound
custom rom, still no sound.
the same error, when i press play button on any audio player, it just back to paused and the time still in 00:00
it seem something wrong in the system, but i just fresh install
The bug sounds very strange (haven't experienced it on C6802/HK or C6833/DE) but will give you some recommendations for flashing:
1. Download the TWRP recovery from this thread and flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/twrp-togari-t3197082
If you are on a stock based ROM, do step 1b. Otherwise flash a stock/based ROM first since it is necessary for extraction of those particular files.
1b. Before flashing anything, download Root Explorer or another file manager with root access and copy the files inside /Data/etc to the memory card. This is a way of avoiding the MAC address issue on some custom ROMs.
2. Download a ROM of choice. I would recommend BlissPop or Resurrection Remix but try the 20151007 build (the newer ones suffer from a WiFi issue).
2b. Check this thread for a fix for lost IMEI on C6802:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/general/guide-stock-to-custom-rom-t2901739
3. Boot into TWRP and wipe everything. Wipe system, data, cache, Dalvik cache and the internal storage.
4. Flash the ROM and the IMEI fix.
5. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache again.
6. Boot the ROM, let it settle for 5 minutes (after seeing the setup guide) and reboot, then do the setup.
7. Install a file explorer and copy the files from /Data/etc back into its place. You will notice that the folder is empty on a ROM such as BP so you will put the files back in place.
8. Reboot the device.
If the problem persists despite those steps, I would assume that something is corrupted and I would do a full wipe, flash a stock ROM and then repeat the steps again. I know that some root methods such as KingRoot can leave trash files which can interfere with ROM flashes and updates but doing a full wipe should clear those things out.
One option is a downgrade to a KitKat stock ROM such as 108 followed by rooting with Easy Root Tool and then making an update by flashing a new stock ROM with the /system partition excluded followed by reflashing of TWRP and flash of a custom ROM.
If nothing helps, then there is a possibility of some kind of hardware issue. I am supporting four Ultra's in total (one C6802 and three C6833s) and have never encountered such a problem. I have experienced BT dropouts on early LP ROMs and also phone FCs after kernel experimentation but everything has been cleared up by doing a clean flash with a full wipe.
A last long shot would be to try a different SIM card. Not that I suspect it but it has happened that some SIMs have been problematic thus causing strange behavior with the device. I don't think it is the SIM but it is just a way of excluding the possibility. Even far-stretched solutions can work when issues are very strange.

Have you tried to flash the correct ftf? I don't have time to read through the thread.
Have you tried Sony repair tool?
What I would suggest is trying a different mixer path
Root directory>system>etc>mixer_paths.XML make a copy somewhere, delete the file and insert a new one.
I've owned a white 02 model and had similar issues I just ended selling it and getting a 06 model.

My 02 had same issue but I was to impatient to bother.

Make a back up, then delete it.
Once deleted add this one to the same location device>etc>mixer_path.XML

if someone can confirm this hardware issue, this thread can be closed, thanks a lot for those who help me
Merry Christmas !
