[Q] Seriously need help :'(

Hi there, im new to this forum and Im kind of a novice to flashing and rooting.
Firstly, my device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Sprint version.
Secondly, when I bought this tab, I got fed up of the stock software so I decided to flash the rom. I researched allot on how to do this. Then I came across a custom rom called Modaco and flashed my galaxy tab using Clockwork Recovery.
Thirdly, I started to experience a particular problem - the AutoRotation broke. Whenever I rotated my tab portrait in a way that the homescreen, back buttons etc are in the normal position, the screen itself will be upside down making it difficult for me use the tablet conveniently.
Next, I started to develop another problem, i wasn't able to boot into recovery mode so i came accross another method to remove the modaco custom rom to install the stock rom. I used ODIN and download mode. This worked but the whole autorotation situation still persisted. I downloaded a file that would attemp fixing the autorotation problem but didnt work so I tried booting into recovery mode using ADB recovery and Clockwork Recovery but whenever it attempts to get there, it then shows me the samsung logo and remains frozen.
Lastly, I have come to a conclusion that I dont want to be using custom roms and I think it has to do with the Kernal. I want my tablet to be as I just bought it, untouched, not flashed etc.
If anyone can provide me with a solution, then I will be extremely greatful. Thanks

Seriously move this to the QUESTION THREADS. You will get more help there.

Hey I've been here already but that SW Update doesnt work. It tells me "Cannot open Binary file" can you tell me why?

See post #34 in that thread posted by cdguider.
download the : New File With Odin, Sprint_P100_Samsung_GALAXY_Tab_USB_Drivers, Installation Instructions
read and follow the .txt file that is included step by step and it will work....
I used it but the first time I was in a hurry and did not read the install txt, didn't work. I opened the imstructions and went step by step the next time and it worked no problems..
hope it works out for you.

[Q] Can't update

Hi everyone.
I have an Optimus 2x, and when i updated it to 2.3.4 i could not use superoneclick to root my phone instead i found an answer on how to root it.
I needed to install cwm 5 and after that busybox and so on, and it worked, it was rooted.
Now i have a other problem, i have an update on my phone and when i click on installing it starts to reebot then it comes to cwm screen, there i'm stuck.
I have tryed everything there trying to update it but nothing works.
So now i am wondering if any of you can help me?
Got any idea what i can do to update or what i am doing wrong?
//Szander.

Ok, so now i did a recover so i get back my phone as it was before i installed cwm and tryed to update, it did work fine.
Until the update was done, then it stopped, and nothing i did worked the little android just stand there and looked at me.
So what now, i removed the battery and hoped for the best, now the phone would not bot at all.
After a few tears and a few swear words, i thougt about something, maybe i could use nvflash to get it all back as it was ???
I tryed closed my eyes and after a few minutes i could restart my phone and it loaded as useall, but the update was gone, ofcourse.
So now back to square one again.
Sigh (

Hi Szander,
So just to be completely clear, you're back at a perfectly stock 2.3.4 unrooted ROM and you want to root it, right?
Why not trying to follow cyanogen wiki to root it?

No.
I have cwm, and its still rooted.
What i want is to get rid of cwm so i can update to the latest update wich is v20q.
I have tryed this with recover but its only working on froyo, i belive i read it somewhere.
And when i recovered my phone then the problem really started, but thats fine now.
And as an plus is that now when i run LGMobileupdate tool its saying that i have v20q but in the phone it says that i still have v20I.
Weird.
I have read alittle more and (if i got it right) found out that i might just need to use smartflash on the phone via my computer to get rid of cwm and get a perfectly stocked phone again.
So can you help me please, hoping that you understand my problem.

Yup, as far as I know you are correct. To get your phone back to stock you need to flash a stock ROM using either smartflash or nvflash. I haven't done it so I can't guide you through it personally, but search this forum you should find the relevant threads easily enough.
If you have trouble finding it let me know I'll help you searching.

[Q] How do I reboot after installing ClockworkMod?

I attempted to root my SGS (which had stock Gingerbread Value 2.3.6) using a guide on the Snappyguides blogspot page (the system won't let me, as a newbie, post the URL).
Odin did its thing and then the Samsung Galaxy screen came up (just the white lettering, not the multicoloured animated S) and then... nothing. It just stayed like that for about five seconds, then the white Samsung Galaxy S came up again, then the blank screen ad infinitum.
I can access the download screen and I can access the recovery screen (which does seem to indicate that ClockworkMod v2.5.1.0 has been installed). The trouble is that none of the options seem to do anything.
I have tried searching the forum for similar problems and have read the sticky. The only answers I seem to have been able to find so far suggest flashing a new Rom.
Before I go this far, is flashing a new Rom really necessary in this instance? I have never done this procedure before, so I'm wary of messing things up even further. But obviously if the phone is past the point of no return as far as the stock Rom is concerned, then that'll be what I have to do.
I'd appreciate some advice before doing anything else to my phone though.

I now seem to be able to get the recovery menu options to respond, so maybe all is not lost. Have set it to root and it's currently converting to EXT4 and is about halfway through that.
I'm hoping once that's done, it'll be bootable.
If not, what do I need to do to make the SGS boot again? Is there any way of getting back to stock or can I only flash a stock rom back on?

Nope, still not booting. It just keeps going to the Samsung I9000 white lettering, stays there for five seconds, goes blank for five seconds, then the white lettering goes back and on, off like that forever.
So... anyone willing to help?

Thanks for responding.
Sorry for being a n00b but I can't find anything in there that helps me. All I see is a lot of jargon about various roms, kernels and something called Voodoo.
I had a working phone with Gingerbread 2.3.6 Value. I added Clockworkmod via Odin. Now I can't get the phone to boot beyond the splash screen. It doesn't even get as far as the animated S, all I get is the splash screen going on and off every few seconds.
All I want is to get my phone working again, I really couldn't care less about custom roms etc.
If anyone can help this poor n00b, I'd be very grateful!
Incidentally, I've downloaded what I understand to be the factory rom for JW4 from sammobile.com - this is a 171MB zip file with just two files inside - a tar file called JW4_JW5_JW4 and a dll file called SS_DL.dll. I'm not really sure what to do with these to restore my phone via Odin. This is the kind of thing I need help with - the threads I've read so far don't make much sense to a poor confused n00b I'm afraid.

OK, thanks for that. I'm supposed to be asleep right now, so I'll come back to this later but thanks for helping.
But just to clarify for now - this will restore the phone to a working version of 2.3.3 and from there I can get back to the latest stock rom (2.3.6) via Kies, yes? I need to get into Kies anyway to restore my contacts from backups (as I haven't yet seen a way of restoring the backups except via Kies).
Thanks once again.

Well, I did get it working again in the end by using a factory rom. Thanks for your help anyway, W1nst0n.
I do intend to attempt to root it again but this time I intend to do it properly.
Any suggestions on what may have caused the boot problem I had? Perhaps using a version of ClockworkMod that was incompatible with 2.3.6 Value?

Help regarding AOSP 4.2 Jelly Bean ROM

So as the title states, this is regarding the AOSP ROM 4.2 Jelly Bean, I installed it and it seemed to be working fine until I actually tried something, the wifi didn't work so I tried installing the fix, I plugged it to the PC and nothing happens, it doesn't even charge, tried 2 different laptops and 2 different PC's. So I sent the fix over through bluetooth and installed it, the wifi isn't working eitherway, so I guess that there is no point of using the phone since I can't really get a single app, I want to install a 4.1 or the default XXJW4 2.3.6 gingerbread version and I'm wondering how do I do that now when the usb isn't working, also note that I've done nearly 50 ROM installations and I have never ever had a problem before, this is the first time. What should I do? Is there a fix for this? If not, how do I downgrade? Please help, ASAP, my beloved SGS i9000 is useless atm and It's nearly making me cry (well not obviously, but yeah, I need help) Best regards, thanks in advance.

your phone can go to download mode? if can should not have any problem for flash to 2.3.6 GB, if you wan to flash 4.1 JB you can copy the ROM to your ExtSDCard and boot to recovery and flash the rom for extsdcard or you can use filemanager to move the ROM(File) to you int.SDcard and flash from recovery.
BTW which AOSP 4.2 you are using? if from pawitp you can try this my one is working and i try it many time and having the same result .
if now your are on the same partition layout as CM10 stable, follow the step below
1) Flash the rom 4.2 (20121125) following all the step given by the guide
2) Flash Google Apps
3) reboot phone to normal (turn on wifi if not working then go to step 4)
4) Reboot to cwm and flash wifi fix without wipe
holp this will help. :good: enjoy

[Q] I can't root S5830 GB 2.3.6

Hi, I have many problems at a time lol. First of all, I bought this phone 'cause it was so cheap and it works fine for my mom. The problem is, I think I was scammed because the phone allows emergency calls only. I tested with many chips but they don't work, so I guess I'll have to find a solution for that (imei unlocking with z3x maybe?). Also, I don't know if the phone is branded. I think it's not, because it starts with other chips, but the bootscreen is still from the original company (don't know how to change it).
Okay, now that you know the conditions of the phone, I wanna ask if the phone being imei blocked affects on wether I can root it or not, cause I tried many many root files on CWM 5, but nothing happens. Some of them say that the process was completed, but I type "su" in the terminal and it says "not found". Also, I downloaded root checkers and they say the phone's not rooted. The roots I remember are universal_gb_root_v25, v23b, upd_1 and Root_Cooper. I am desperate, please help.
Also, I updated the firmware with Kies (can't remember old firmware), so now I have GB 2.3.6. I don't know if Kies might have screwed it up. I've also noticed that most people have a baseband ending in something like KT8, but mine is different... I remember I had to change the baseband on my Xperia X8 to unlock bootloader, but I know nothing about Samsung phones. Anyway, phone details are:
GT-S5830L
baseband S5830LUBLP1
kernel 2.6.35.7-1190892 [email protected] #1

Oh god, I can't believe it still doesn't work D:
I think it would be good if I started from scratch. I mean, flash a stock firmware or something, like a factory reset. I installed CWM, how can I uninstall it?
What is the best way to do that?

Install CWM 5 from Recovery Mode. Go to CWM> Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe Battery Stats. Now re-flash the stock rom using odin through Download Mode. You can then try installing root and CWM. Hopefully it works well this time.

Nothing seems to work u_u. I flashed the stock rom, installed cwm fix, flashed Root_Cooper.zip and nothing happened. Then I flashed the no-junk-apps and also tried with AceGingerRoot, upd_1, universal_gb_root_v25, and Root, but nothing happens. Root and upd_1 give me an error like Status 7, installation aborted (some guy in one of the links Viper sent me had the same error). I type in he terminal "su", and it says access denied.
I don't know what else to do :c

No, that's not what I meant. Before you flash a fresh copy of stock rom, make sure to do a complete wipe. You cannot do that with the stock recovery mode and hence you install CWM. Just follow my instructions in the above post. Once you have wiped of all data, then flash the stock rom back. Always remember Root first then install CWM. If you do it the other way, you will end up getting status 7 error. Do post the result.

Oooh okay, i did everything but rooted after cwm. Ill try that!

It worked! thank you all! (even though it rebooted once, but it hasn't happend again)
Now, what JellyBean ROM would you recommend? I just want a "fast" one. (I know there's no such thing as "best rom" or something, I'm just asking for advice)
Some ROMs say that I have to install CWM 6 or above, should I do that? or just stick with this fixed version?

All CM 10 (JellyBean) roms works quite well with CWM 5, so I suggest you stick with it unless you want to go for CM 11 (KitKat) roms. CWM 6 is mainly meant for CM 11 based roms but there is one CM 11 rom (KitKat for All) that works fine with CWM 5. I haven't tried all CM 10 roms, so I can't help you in that part. But I can provide you the list of all custom roms for Ace. You can try it yourself and be the judge Here is the link,
