Help sprint gt bricked - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashed khazmek's voodoo kernel w /cwm. Can't boot into the OS it is just stuck at Samsung screen. Odin will not detect device but adb does. I can boot into clockwork but /data and /sdcard will not mount. Any ideas on how to do a stock restore through adb on the tab ? Or even a solution on how to fix this problem ?

make sure you re-install kies and flash stock rom

Can't connect thru kies. I need a nandroid backup so I can fastboot restore thru adb.

Can't Flash Roms or Get Into Clockword Recovery

My Tab is rooted and it says I have the correct recovery, yet I can't flash roms/backup current roms/get into Clockwork recovery. Everytime I try to flash something it gets aborted but before that it says Installing MICS failed or something similar. I'm familiar with flashing roms yet I don't know what's going on.

First, download ROM Manager and reflash clockwork mod.

is you TAB GSM or CDMA? if you TAB is GSM you should use this tutorial . The Kernel it has already the CWM recovery, also will convert your system to Ext4 ..... Did you applied the patch from here . I believe you have a protected bootloader....
Thanks for the info. I'm not by a pc but it seems I don't need the secondary link, it seems I don't need the patch because it already is patched. And I have a gsm tab.

I just wanted to chime in to say that I'm having this problem too. I've rooted using the the proper steps and installed tom manager and downloaded the lastest cwm. I tell it to reboot and I get the aborted, signature cannot be verified blah blah.
I tried everything step over and over again and I always get that error so I cannot get into cwm.
Like the OP I have a t849 tmobile galaxy tab.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I figured it out
OK so this may sound stupid but when I first flashed the recovery rom using the adb push method for the recovery image and tmobile_zImage I did not have a micro-sd card because the SGT-849 has 16GB of built in memory. I just tried it again but this time I popped in a microsd and used adb to push the recovery flash files, ran recovery, rebooted, ran ROM Manager and told it to boot into recovery and ClockWorkRecovery Mod worked
So if you havent used the method if implementing an ADB bridge to push the tmobile flash files you need to do that WITH a microSD apparently.
My boot screen changed from the boring Samsung Logo to a Galaxy Tab + Samsung Logo. Which boot logo do you have?

I dont have knowledge in adb because I'm never on a pc, but I ordered a 32gb sd card so i'll see what happens.

Search for it in the developer forum

dosen't help me much can you explain further? seems like i'm stuck in clockword recovery mode. i might need to install a new rom?
Just go into recovery mode and flash stock rom and baseband using smartflash

CM7 is EXT3, so I can't see that fix helping. NVflash back to stock, install ClockworkMod the restore /data
Smartflashtool can't find my phone, now it've got in to S/W upgrade and now i'm stuck with please wait while upgrading

If you had cm7. Youve deleted the LG usb drivers. Re install them.

Try NVflash instead then
can't find the compnent in device mananger for NvFlash, and i've tryed two computers for smart flash, can't detect the phone

[Q] CMR back up and restore issue

Hi folks,
When I back - up a rom i can't restore to it, always ends up saying "restore complete" the phone reboots and hangs on the samsung galaxy s screen for over 5mins, then reboots into cmr with various E: errors, such like cannot mount cache, or cannot cache/mount/log.
Also the rom i was using was cm7 rc10 and when this rom is installed the phone reboots straight into the rom where as it should reboot into cmr.
Any ideas ?
Depends on what rom your trying to restore? And what bootloader is on your device

You cannot restore a nandroid backup from a Samsung ROM directly over cm7 via cwm. You need to reflash a stock ROM via odin first. Then you can flash your nandroid backup from cwm.

Can not flash CWM :(

Hi I'm trying to install miui for my sister in law on her Galaxy S but I can't seem to install CWM.
I've downloaded rom manager from the market clicked on flash recovery (fist option) then from the list chose samsung galaxy s. The next I clicked on reboot to recovery but when it boots into it, it says at the top Android system recovery (3e)
What am I doing wrong???? :s
PS I don't have a memory card inside my phone trying to install via the internal sd storage. The also I don't have access to my pc so need to do it off my phone. Please any help appreciated thank you.

When you boot into recovery press the buttons a couple of times. Ie, 3button combo to boot, release all the buttons and press the 3buttons again. I have had the same problems on 3sgs's and this seemed to work on them.
No luck
Any one else have any ideas. Please any help is appreciated.

I have clockworkmod recovery installed and when i click on reboot to recovery or use the 3 button configuration it only boots into the android system recovery.
I can not for the life of me get the Cwm recovery to boot up.
Is there a kernel I can flash with rom manager to get cwm installed
Sent from my GT-I9100
It's definitely rooted? What rom is it currently on?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Darkys rom. Plus i have titanium backup installed and backed up my apps. Superuser is working perfectly.
I want to install miui the official rom.
Anyway I can without having to use a pc??
Sent from my GT-I9100
If it's on Darky's rom, it should have cwm already! Not sure if you can do it from your phone now mate.
Once you've got the cwm sorted (hopefully it's a gingerbread rom) you need to format system, data and cache, then flash Miui.

Ahhh.
Flash darky RE via Odin. But if you are running darky kernel you should have cwm. Uninstall cwm app and try again.

If i understand well, you can't use odin because you don't have PC,right? Well:make sure that your phone is rooted. Go to market and get that application : "sgs kernel flashar " the one by neldar.
Then download a kernel for your firmware, and make sure you download a tar file or obtain a zimage file. Flash it with the application mentioned, you don't need any cwm. After that you flash the new kernel you should have a cwm installed.
If i understand wrong I'm sorry.
