Gingerbread - Autorotate stopped?? Calibration sensors fine

I flashed the stock Gingerbread which I went back to from Overcome Gold. Everything was cool then suddenly the autorotate stopped working. Landscape apps work fine and I can lock the browser in landscape but it will not autorotate. I have recalibrated, rebooted, cleared the Davlik cache but nothing seems to help.
And yes I have check to see that rotation is no locked
Anybody else seen this or have any ideas?

Edit - I did not notice the Overcome site has a v2 Gingerbread ROM. Reflashed with that, had to reroot but now all is well.

overcome stock safe will wipe everything in your tab also they had their Kernel in the stock safe , so please be careful , because if you flashing it over Froyo(2.2) it will not work and maybe brick your tab
but if you flashing it over gingerbread , you ARE safe

Thanks for the link but its really too complicated for me.

Why should Gingerbread safe with Overcome kernel cause problems with Froyo? As long as you flash it with Odin and use the correct PIT file all previous data should get wiped, right?

tablet won't start after installing custom rom

Hi, I have a rooted galaxy tab. I recently just installed a custom rom and after, it doesn't boot anymore? It only stucks at the boot screen. May I know what's the issue here? Is it a brick or something? Any helps appreciated. Tks!

it sounds like a soft brick, which isn't too bad at all Just switch your tab over to Download Mode and then flash another ROM that is confirmed working on your device.
A hard brick would be if your tab didn't power on in any way at all no matter what, and that would be pretty bad :/

Hi, tks for ur reply! Do u mind telling me where to download those roms? Tks once again!

Hi! I managed to get my rom on samfirmware.com and even flashed it via odin. But one thing, it managed to go the boot screen but then it doesn't move at the "samsung" glowing screen after that. Did I do anything wrong?

I installed overcome kernel with many other rom before moving to redpill (because of bluetooth keyboard compatibility). It works great with most of rom 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 base. Don't hesitate to try the kernel with other rom.
Btw, did you try pushing new pit file through odin?

You need to be on Gingerbread first before you can flash your phone with an ICS ROM. The following web site gives an easy step by step tutorial plus download links to get ICS on your SGS.

or get 2.3.x updated from kies , than root it and then do cyan9 , its best. worked like charm. just read the instructions and follow it.

I think in this thread the users could help you.

Yes, using the Odin. Look here:

For install ICS, you need first install a GB 2.3.6 rooted, look here :

end enjoy.
Atencion, take very carefull in this journey. Read all with very carefull.
Sorry for my poor english.

BEWARE: You are coming from Froyo - so you have to flash an android version that includes a socalled "bootloader" (some versions don't include that, as far as I know).
Reed carefully first before flashing.

Thanks guys I did it through Odin now on 4.0 whoooooo lol

Super Bricked My Galaxy Note (Binary Count =0)

I super bricked (no download mode or recovery mode) my Galaxy Note while restoring from CWM backup last night, I had LP8 installed, binary count is 0.
I have already sent it to the Samsung Service Center, question is: what should I expect??

What on earth are you doing to consistently brick it? If you're under warranty then you should be ok - given that the emmc is a known issue which they're aware of..
On a side note, I'd suggest not being so flash happy and a little more reading before you mess around..
Good luck..

I was tryin to get navigation bar like that in Nexus, had created a backup if smthin went wrong, I haven't flashed any custom ROM, and ya its under warranty, and I have decided I'll be buying only Nexus series from now on

Good thing you have warranty, but still bricking it 3 times now, I wouldn't want my device on the service center it's inconvenient and really not worth wasting my time, I'd rather be very careful flashing than going to the service center for repairs. But anyways that's my opinion. It's your device and you can do whatever you want with it

Please have a look here, before you transform your note into a brick... for the 4th time

There is a safe way to flash, this is why a lot of people do it successfully...
My thoughts are that you followed instruction to a degree.. If you're on a Stock GB there's no fear of Brickbug at all...
I am wondering if you flashed Abyss in ICS - or did not reboot recovery after installing Abyss....
Which steps did you follow and which ROM, I've flashed PA without issue after downgrading to GB via PC ODIN, Rooting with SpeedMod and then flashing PA..

Restoring in cwm under ics kernel triggers brick bug. This has been documented since the bug was found and is all outlined in the stickies all over the forum. I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for someone bricking for a third time, there's just no excuse for this short sightedness.

[Q] Captivate won't enter download mode...

First time posting on Xda, but i've been browsing for awhile, nothing helped my scenario so I'm gonna post about it;
So recently I got a used Captivate I896 on ROGERS from my friend as he wasn't using it. Nothing was wrong with it, worked fine and I got the captivate when it had 2.2 stock FROYO. Through a bit of research and a different friend informing me, I figured out I could update it to stock 2.3.3 on rogers through Kies which I did. Everything was going well, phone did everything I needed it to on Gingerbread. Then... The same friend who told me about updating to 2.3.3, started talking to me about roms and rooting, this is when I found out about Xda. So for awhile I was looking into roms and trying to find a decent ICS rom to put on to my cappy as I saw countless videos on youtube and threads here on Xda of people running ICS with few problems. So... with my friend's help I took the bull by the horns and successfully rooted my cappy on 2.3.3. Downloaded Rom manager.. and then we figured out it wasnt supported for the captivate so I flashed the CornKernel which got me the correct version of CWM. This is where everything started to go downhill... We found TeamHacksung's ICS rom for the cappy on youtube. I downloaded the files onto my device, made a backup, and booted into CWM. Everything was going smooth, we wiped the phone, did everything correctly from the video instructions and then went for the reboot. It booted but... Soon after it started to bootloop. At this point I was panicking as it was my current phone I was using. I managed to get it back into CWM and we tried the files again... Same result in a bootloop. Oh, might i mention, the Backup file didn't work for some reason. Maybe I did something wrong? But anyways, at this point I thought I was bricked as the phone would only Bootloop. Talking to my friend on skype, he linked me "Odin" I had heard about it at the time but I was unaware of what it could do. He then linked me "How to get Samsung Captivate into Download mode" which i followed the steps and got my device into download mode and restored it using Odin. It was a successful restore, it worked... but... As I mentioned before, had the rogers boot screens and it WAS an I896.. but when i rebooted the phone it was now running 2.1 Eclair with At&t boot screens and it now thinks its a I897. At this point I was like, I'll just use it for awhile and hopefully we can try this again soon as it was getting late and I needed my phone the next day. After about a week of using Eclair, I was ABSOLUTELY sick of it, everything felt outdated and old. So I looked into flashing my phone back to either stock 2.2 or stock 2.3.3 OR even all the way to ICS. Then bad things started happening again... Whatever my friend linked me to restore my phone using Odin it left me with this:
Model number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 <---(Was I896)
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I897UCJF6
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR
None of this seemed right to me, which now, I THINK it's not right. I tried all button combos to get it back into download mode to possibly flash 2.2 or 2.3.3 again... But NOTHING, download mode won't work after all that, which it did in the past otherwise I wouldn't have this problem right now. So I decided to Root my phone again, which I successfully did through a OneClick method (Forget which one I used). I decided maybe I could download ROM manager on the market, seeing as my phone is outdated and I can't use Google Play. Soon I found out Rom manager (Atleast the free version) doesn't exist on the Market. I tried 3rd party websites like 4shared to download it but Eclair has no options to allow untrusted sources. ALSO, I tried settling for Kies and Kies Mini, both of which recognize my phone as a "unregistered device" even though I used Kies in the first place. I feel i've dug myself into quite the hole now, so sick of this phone at this point
P.S. I've debated making a Jig to force it into Download mode... but would this be the solution? And if so, what could i use to flash back to stock? AND sorry about the long post, I wanted to include as much info as I possibly knew about my phone.
I feel I should mention again, the phone DOES work, but I'm sick of Eclair and I would like to get back to stock. Please help, anything would be great at this point.
Thanks

You really shouldn't flash back to eclair for that reason. You should update to gingerbread with bootloaders. To get download mode, you will need either a jig or adb reboot download.

Well, depends what you're looking for. If you want to be on the latest, and not the greatest, I would choose any of the ICS roms. The Collective has some good stuff, and so does Cyanogen. CM10 is updated "daily" where I'm not sure what the Collective's release schedule is. You'll find that both of those are "laggy" though, as that's been my experience. I had CM9 ICS on my Captivate and it was certainly a good "daily driver".

I was looking into Jellybean.. But I'm not sure. Is CM9 a good choice? Cause I've been look at it, and considering it? Can you link me to CM9?

Honestly, you could go either way. Generally, I felt like CM10 ran a bit slower, but that may have changed with the recent partition change. If you want the latest and most up to date, go with CM10. CM9 may perform better but it won't get new features. It's up to you to decide which you like better. You can find nightly threads for both in the development section.

In the development section, is the thread by illuminatedone the correct thread? Cause it's the only stock rom thread I could find. And can I ask what Nightly means?

U have bootloaders on ur phone regardless.
If u r running eclair/froyo, then u have those bootloaders. If u r running gingerbread, then u have those gb bootloaders. Simple as that.
If u try to run a gb firmware on ur phone and u have a really bad pixelated screen when it boots up then u r trying to run a gb firmware with eclair/froyo bootloders. U need gb boots to run gb firmware.
If u have a running gb firmware on ur phone then u have gb bootloaders... Also they are backwards compatible and u don't need to flash bootloaders again.
