I can do it if you do the same with none working Note
Can I do it from Windows?
Heimdall doesn't recognize my note, Odin does, When I tried installing heimdall drivers, i run zadig.exe, it won't show me any Samsung device in the list (yes i pressed show all and phone is connected in download mode.)
So i can't do what you want from this computer, i'll try again at home.

Here is the output from my Note :

Re-attaching kernel driver...
I don't know if it worth mentioning it, but at the end I got some libusb errors -7.

Maybe its because the permission is denied.
Pls try it with this:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/00*
* stands for the port.
e.g.
If you have a "USB -7" error, so pls type this:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/007
or
If you have a "USB -3" error, so pls type this:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/003
and so on...

Thanks guys, i dont have the file near me from a broken note but i believe it looks the same still, i was trying to make sense of the heimdall readout. Its odd that doing a dump of the pit file from it produces a different binary file than the one that everybody is using with odin.

Chris X.,
I did it from Windows and here is the result

Hope it helps...
By the way, is it possible to do a bit by bit (in other words a RAW) ROM extraction/flash (many people including me would do it considered the work you already did for the community and the fact that we would learn a bit more on Note internals) so afterwards, an simple EFS restore would restore you Note original hardware information?

Thats mine from a stock note with stock firmware LB1.

Chris X.,
Regarding a raw ROM copy, do you think it is possible?

Chris X. said:
Maybe its because the permission is denied.
Pls try it with this:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/00*
* stands for the port.
e.g.
If you have a "USB -7" error, so pls type this:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/007

If you have a "USB -3" error, so pls type this:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/003

I think I got this error when I used my USBtoRS232 converter.. Needed a newer Linux kernel to get rid of the error or updated libusb package..

Which version of Ubuntu do you have?
Pls try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
if you need an upgrade, so pls try this:
Code:
sudo bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"

[Q] pda's condition to use repartition + pit

like title, which are the condition to use repartion + pit to flash a firmware?
same pakage content only 5 partition (file), for example
hidden.img = i don't know what do this
factoryfs.img = system partition
modem.bin = radio compart
cache.img = sec_csc.zip
zImage = kernel
can i use this package with repartition (+pit) flagged?
i extract the partition from .pit using heimdall, and the log is this

which of these partitions are required to use repartition?
thank's guy!

Never use pit file OR Re-partition option in Odin, except you are well expertise in modding N flashing, any wrong pit can brick your device.
routinely pit not require to flash any GB/ICS ROM, it needed only if you have did somthing wrong (e.g. flashed wrong firmware on note, which is not meant for Note)
N yes dont extract tar file (e.g factoryfs,hidden,cache)
Find my thread 'all stock ROM....' in sticky of development N refer to post#2 for installation guide)

I know that you only use file.tar.md5 with odin, but this is not the question.
I would like to create packages for use with repartition in a safe manner (for example, to go back from a flash of CM9), how does [Ramad] for galaxy S.
i'm not noob, but i don't know everything!
do u know the utility of hiddem.img and data.img?
have an other question about data.img:
in gingerbread is the partion of /data/app
but in ICS?
ICS should be different from GB, because the partition DATA is not limited to only 2 gb but is variable.
but, in this case, why ICS and GB have the same PIT?

Partition shud b same in both gb n ics, b'coz u can safely flash without repartitionung too

flashing gt-i8190 from linux using heimdall. ¿How to?

Before you follow all this steps, remember:
THIS IS NOT A HOW TO...!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, that i'm asking to other more experienced users if this method should work, so, i haven't tried it yet
Hi, im trying to change the ROM of my galaxy s3 mini from Linux using heimdall, and i've doubts.
My current ROM:
build number: JR003H.I8190XXALL2
kernel version: 3.0.31-639956
android version: 4.1.1
baseband version: I8190XXALL2​
New ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104638
build number: JZO54K.I8190XXAMA1
kernel version: 3.0.31 - 790526
baseband version: XAAMA1 [EUROPE]
android version: 4.1.2
ROM STATUS: NON-WIPE
FIRMWARE STATUS AFTER FLASH: OFFICIAL
BINARY COUNT AFTER FLASH: NONE​
In this thread, the user arturaz explained how to change the ROM using heimdall:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066668
But, he used a ROM with the same baseband than the old one. As you see, I have an issue: my current baseband version is different than the new one. So, i'll have to flash more files, and thats my trouble. Because I'm not sure about that, and I need someone to tell me if my reasoning is ok.
Lets go!
1. Decompress all files of my ROM. I've stored then in my home:
/home/ali3n//galaxys3/I8190XXAMA1_I8190OXAAMA1_4.1.2_rooted_by_infected_/
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]$ cd /home/ali3n//galaxys3/I8190XXAMA1_I8190OXAAMA1_4.1.2_rooted_by_infected_/[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]$ ls -1a[/COLOR]
boot.img
cache.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
STE_boot1.img
STE_boot2.img
system.img​
So, those are the files that I've to look for in my current pit file.
I put my phone in download mode, connect to my pc and:
2. ¿Does heimdall detect my device?
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]$ sudo heimdall detect[/COLOR]
Device detected​
3. Lets see my pit file to look for the files needed in the new ROM version and which partitions are used for each of them:
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]$ sudo heimdall print-pit[/COLOR]

4. flashing the device and installing the rooted ROM
Once I've located which Partition Identifier is associated to each of the new ROM files:
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]$ sudo heimdall flash --3 STE_boot1.img --4 STE_boot2.img --14 modem.bin --18 boot.img --20 system.img --21 cache.img --22 hidden.img[/COLOR]
I think thats all. ¿It's all right? ¿Does anybody do it before? I don't know if should i do anything else before flashing the device, and i wanna know your opinion about if this is the right way.
Thank you!

In Linux, Heimdall doesn't read download mode but ADB reads normally. In Win7, ADB doesn't read but Odin reads download mode.

Thank you for your answer, but I don't know what you mean blackknightavalon. In this thread a user explains how to change the ROM using heimdall in linux:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066668
My issue, is that the new ROM uses a different baseband version than the current one. So I don't know if the procedure that I've described, based on the experience of arturaz could work.
Thank you!

Probably too late for you, but maybe still useful for further heimdall users...
I guess what arturaz meant, was: Since he had a "XXALJL" build on his phone before he explicitly chose the same build but rooted. And further, since the baseband was the same, all he needed to re-flash was the system partition in order to get the "su" binary where it belongs. That's a Linux habitat: Only change the least that's needed when everything else is already there.
Maybe arturaz is willing to confirm my interpretation.
However, after reading his posting I went the same lane. My Mini had the same build and I've rooted it exactly as described. Then I installed ROM-manager and with the help of su (aka "root"), CWM. Using this I installed BenzROM, which has a different build. But since the entire image was replaced, the baseband fits to it.
And it works
Hope that helps.

Can this Galaxy tab 7 be saved?

Hi, Any chance in resurrecting this galaxy tab 7? I think the partition table is messed up.
Model: Verizon Mobile SCH-I800
Issue: many;
failed to mount's
can't mount's
format fails
can't open
unknown rom
history unknown
*Can boot into recovery and download mode *can't apply update.zip from sdcard, can't even mount sdcard.
I have tried heimdall with stock roms and PITs etc but with no luck, Could not get the full file off The Collective helper package (stops mid download so could not go further with that; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383201
About to try adb with parted etc but have found little info on this and wouldn't know where to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, happy to try anything

A little better from flashing the files from unbricking post, but still having troubles
Tab will boot and be stuck at Verizon screen.
If someone could help out and go to here and try to download The collective helper package (direct link) and re-up it to another mirror, I'd be very grateful. I can only get through at most half of the download before it stalls but it looks like some people can get the whole thing.
Or if you could post a link to stock firmware tar.gz file for this that would be great, I cannot find it at sammobile or live.samsung-updates or pretty much anywhere...
Thanks!

Looks like Heimdall is the flasher for your tablet, not ODIN as I had mentioned earlier, but you already know that.

Tried a complete flash with your first link you posted, Thanks a proper tar.gz! used heimdall.exe rather than frontend as I was getting libusb errors. command;
heimdall.exe flash --repartition --pit sch-i800.pit --CACHE cache.rfs --FACTORYFS system.rfs --PARAM param.lfs --KERNEL zImage --RECOVERY recovery.bin
everything appeared to work fine & 100% successful except I'm still at the same screen above...
The errors I get are;
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount CACHE recovery/command
# MANUAL MODE #
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmblk0p2

E:Can't mount CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't open CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
While i'm a little further, i'm at a loss what is still wrong, will try adb into partitions later and see if any are fat32 or something as I've seen on a post somewhere. Thanks for your help

[SOLVED] Cannot encrypt any CustomROM on GT-I8190N

Hello,
since 2 weeks i try to get root together with encryption (Settings > Security > encrypt Phone ) running.
But i allready get stuck at the encryption
While testing several CustomROMs (see below) , i was (somewhere in between) able to encrypt OmniROM. (I don't no why it worked neither why it doesnot works anymore.)
Recoverys it used * TWRP 2.8.7.0 from golden-guy
* TWRP 2.8.0.0 from Novafusion
* TWRP 2.8.7.3 from Android-andi
Custom ROMs I used * SlimKAT 4.4.4 from Android-Andi
* CM12.1 from Novafusion
* CM 11.0 from Novafusion
* RR1 5.1.1 from Novafusion
* OmniROM 5.1.1 from golden-guy
(erverything in the latest version. (Date today 21. May .2016)
ATM I am not able to encrypt any of the above ROMs
The last 2 days i followed the instructions from android-andis thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257
android-andis Instructions (date: 22 May 2016)
Backup all important stuff! We need to format the device!
Make sure using latest TWRP
Wipe -> Advanced Wipe:
Cache
Dalvic
System
Data
Wipe -> Format Data -> Type yes to confirm
This is the most important step! It will keep some space for the footer! Without that encryption is not possible!
Flash Rom
Reboot
Set a Pin for Lockscreen
Encrypt your device
Point by Point severaly times. (Just to make clear: Yes, I did "Format Data" and typed yes to perform it.)
It just didn't work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some Infos from the last try with the combination of:
TWRP 2.7.8.3 from android-andi &
SlimKAT 4.4.4 from android-andi April 2016 release
just in case someone needs it. The heimdall print of the PIT.

I am willing to serve further Information if needed, or for example to:
* resize the /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 via adb or
* change the PIT via "PIT Magic" / "EFS Professional"
if someone is going to guide me.
If the adb solution needs the parted command, please direct me to a recovery which got it.
I couldn't find any
Just found some obscure Download-Links for parted to put it barehand into /system . But i an not willing to use this.
Any help is welcome.

Follow http://andi34.github.io/faq_twrp.html
After that flash your rom and gapps.
Enjoy encryption (SlimLP and CM12.1 need a different kernel to use it because of CAF based vold, i don't think i have added needed changes to my latest SlimLP build).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanx for taking time to help. :good: Unfortunatly it didn't work.
First of all i Flashed your TWRP 2.8.7.3 build via recovery.
After a reboot into your recovery i followed exactly the steps from your URL.
Then i Installed your latest SlimKAT 4.4.4 (11042016) via Recovery . (NO gapps)
(I also checked the MD5 of the downloaded files)
After a direct boot into system & setting up a 8 digit PIN i tried to encrypt the phone.
The result of cat abd_logcat_of_encrypting_SlimKAT.txt | grep Cryptfs was still:
E/Cryptfs ( 1682): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.
Just to be sure i did it exactly the same way with the OmniROM 5.1.1. golden-guy (20160505 release) and golden-guy latest TWRP 2.8.7.0
the result of adb logcat was:
E/Cryptfs ( 1681): Bad magic for real block device /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
E/Cryptfs ( 1681): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.
....
Just a thought:
I am kinda confused. About a week ago it worked to encrypt only with OmniROM. (I am not sure if i ever did a Format Data befor that time.) And after i tried several other ROMs it does not work anymore to encrypt any ROM.
....
I searched a lot around this problem.
As far as i understand the "encryptable=footer" in the fstab indicates that the filesystem should be able to be encyrpted
AND
the /data partition on /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 has to be at the end of /mmcblk0
AND
/mmcblk0 has to have some free sectors at the end.
As far as i manage to read the fdisk output from the first Post: There are some "unusable"/unused sectors at the end of mmcblk0 .
Is it possible that this sectors are not for the encryption ?
Do i just have to resize (shrink) /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 a little ?
Or do i have to resize (shrink) the ext4 filesystem (which contains /data and ist "lying" on /dev/block/mmcblk0p25?
Or are these both the same ? :silly:
Greetings

You could try the twrp somewhere on last pages of my twrp thread, It's attached as flashable zip.
Atm i don't own a golden and can't test myself.
Some roms need 2 kernel commits to have working encryption because some roms use CAF based vold source (cm12.1 and newer, SlimLP)

Hallo Android-Andi,
thanks for your time !!
i wasn't sure which TWRP you meant exactly. So i did a couple of tests
I allways worked in the following order:
1. flashed the TWRP-Recovery via Recovery
2. rebooted into the "downgraded" Recovery
3. wiped the dalvic, system, cache
4. formated Data
5. rebooted into recovery
6. flashed the mentioned ROM
First try:
TWRP_test4 (?) from yourt TWRP Thread(wich turned out to be a TWRP 2.8.7.0) & Slim KAT 4.4.4
adb logcat
E/Cryptfs ( 1684): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.
-----------------------------------
all following TWRPs are from "your" AFH site.(/I]
Second try:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 F2FS & SlimKAT 4.4.4
adb logcat
E/Cryptfs ( 1681): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.
-----------------------------------
Third try:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 f2fs & SlimLP (from android-andi) because you mentioned several times that there has to be some fixes for SlimLP & Cm12.1
adb logcat
Far Up in the logcat...
I/Cryptfs ( 1668): Check if PFE is activated on Boot
E/Cryptfs ( 1668): Bad magic for real block device /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
E/Cryptfs ( 1668): Error getting crypt footer and key
and later on the typical (but now with "Bad magic ..." line
E/Cryptfs ( 1668): Bad magic for real block device /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
E/Cryptfs ( 1668): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.

Forth try:
TWPR 2.8.6.4 & SlimKAT 4.4.4
adb logcat

I hope you have another idea for me......

Hello Everybody !
I managed to encrypt from Settings :victory:
I "just" resized (shrinked) the /data partition a little bit.
To Perform this i used the TWRP 2.8.7.3 version from Android-Andi
because it was the one which got all the commands i needed for it.
@ android-andi (would it make sense to change the TWRP setup, so that his tweak is done automatically ?)
at least some people semmed to have similar Problems like me.
I did a adb root / adb shell into the Recovery and followed a Tipp from over Here:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/117405/how-do-you-encrypt-your-device-running-cyanogenmod-12-1
Just because the www is sometimes full of dead ends i post the Instructions here, as I used them on MY device.
So i changed them a little bit from the originalpost.
If you wanna try something similar you should NOT just copy & paste the Commands.
Make shure which "/dev/block/..." is your /data partition
In Linux i did: (don't know what do to in Windows, sorry)
$ adb root
$ adb shell
within the adb Shell YOU should
~ # mount | grep data
to find the actual block device of the data partition.
For ME it is /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
so i did the following:
~ # umount /data
& i had also to do
~ # umount /sdcard
~ # e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
everything was fine otherwise i could do e2fsck -f -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 to repair the stuff
~ # tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 to obtain the "Block count" from the output.
~ # tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p25

~ # resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 1239015 , i.e. substract a sufficient amount like 20 from the original block count. As far as i read 8 should be the exact amonunt. But I am not fighting for the last Byte.
~ # resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 1239015
resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 to 1239015 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 is now 1239015 blocks long.
to check if everything is okay:
~ # e2fsck -f -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 found a minor problem which got fixed
~ # e2fsck -f -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25: Inode 7, i_size is 1270947840, should be 1275146240. FIXED.
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25: 545/310080 files (8.3% non-contiguous), 64316/1239015 blocks
After that i just did a reboot into recovery.
I Just wiped dalvic, system, cache & DATA ( NO FORMAT TO MESS THINGS UP AGAIN !!!)
Then I flashed SlimKAT 4.4.4. from Android-Andi April 2016 build.
Rebooted into System.
In System in Settings > Interface > Lockscreen i set up PIN
Than in Settings > Security > encrypt Phone EVERYTHING went fine. Finally after a couple of weeks !!
adb Logcat "tells" now:
D/Cryptfs ( 1686): Just asked init to shut down class main
D/Cryptfs ( 1686): unmounting /mnt/shell/emulated succeeded
D/Cryptfs ( 1686): unmounting /data/data succeeded

E/Cryptfs ( 1686): Encrypting filesystem in place...
After first root app installation (root browser) the system did a crash.
Since thea i installed 3 more root apps. so far (about since an hour) the system is running stable.
Greetings
P.S.
I Suppose this trick should at least work with any KiTKat ROM.....
I gonna try Lollipop , but not tonight ....

Update
to anybody how may it concern.
I installed successfully OmniRom 5.1.1. on the device. encryption still working.
Recovery was still: TWRP 2.8.7.3 by Android-andi
OmniROM 5.1.1. by golden-guy (build 05052016)
I just booted into Recovery & entered the choosen encryption PIN & wiped:
system
cache
dalvic
data !!
I did NOT format data.
Next step was to flash the OmniROM image.
Booted back into System.
Everything worked fine. data was still encrypted !
-----
Next try was to flash CM12.1 by Novafusion (bulid 24 05 2016)
The same TWRP a above.
I had no errors flashing the same way as above.
But booting into system ended with a "corrupted" encrypted Filesystem.
A factory Reset didn't help.
----
Even flashing the promary SlimKAT 4.4.4 by Android-andi didn't changed the problem.
I don't know the reason why the corruption happend (perhaps because i didn't used the "novafusion TWRP Recovery" , perhaps for another reason.
So i did a "classic" Flash with "wipe of dalvic, system, cache" and a "format data".
after flashing SlimKAT again, i got the same old error from all the postings above.
----
Im not gonna dig deeper into this Stuff. I now gonna do the "/Data shrink" again and gonna be happy with what i managed to fullfill.
