[Q] Sprint P100 can not wipe

Hi All:
My Sprint Tab P100 got some strange problems.
It's a second hand P100, Once i turn on the tab, it will warning with 3 Beebee, and nook & Amaza Mp3 & Market will report error.
Below warning will show up:
Amazon MP3_nook
“The application XXX has stopped unexpectedly, pls try again”
Market
"Attention:
An Error has occured, Please try again later."
After check, i found the original usr information still there.
(Gmail/Facebook account will try to sync with previous owner's ID. and i can not remove the account.)
What i have tried:
1) I have tried to WIPE using system recovery, after WIPE both data & Cache partition, issue still exist.
2) Perform the Samsung factory reset by enter *2767*3855# in the Memo, problem still there.
3)Format the SD card with Phone & Windows, still got problem
4) Flashed with the stock EA24 Rom from XDA(with Modem,using Odin), the problem still remain the same.
5)Flashed with DJ30, the problem still exist(Base/Fireware EA24).
6)Tried to install CWM, failed to boot up(Rooted before install CWM, after flash the Zimage to Kernal or recovery, some strings flush in the screen, then the tab hung at Samsung logo and reboot.)
I guess those problem was caused by some program information still remain in the internal storage, even after factory reset or flash with other ROM.
Can somebody help on this? Also prefer someone can help on how to install CWM
I am interesting that the OVERcome 2.01 Rom got a version to WIPE the internal storage, but the OVERcome rom are designed for GSMer. Can i tried to use it to clear my internal storage?

just installed Astro, the program will crashed when launch it

Can some one help on this topic?
I am suspecting my internal storage was locked to Non-Writable.
This might result CWM can not access the internal memory caused the failure of the installation.
Is it related to the Flash lock option in the Odin?

Check this thread..

That has the stock files, and instructions to get root and CWM installed with the stock software. Using Odin to put the stock firmware (EA24) should wipe anything and everything off the tab and restore it to as if it were new out of the box. You also might want to wipe your sd card as it can cause issues with the CWM ext4 conversion.

Hi pvtjoker42 & All:
During the process of Kernel with CWM Recovery, i has been stopped @ step7
1) Download the zip file here
2) Unzip the file. You will need the file named zimage only.
3) Open Heimdall Frontend
4) Select Browse under Kernel and navigate to the file you downloaded in step 1 and select it
5) Press Start
6) The Tab will reboot, but will freeze on the Samsung logo. Turn it off and boot into recovery (Vol Up + Power)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my tab failed here, no matter what you pressed, it doesn't go to CWM. Do u have any idea?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7) CWM Recovery will attempt to back your tab up, but will fail. Don't fret.
8) Do a factory reset in CWM Recovery and reboot
9) You'll freeze on the Samsung logo again Turn it off and boot into recovery.
10) CWM Recovery will back your Tab up successfully.
11) You now have a CWM backup. Reboot.
12) Your auto rotate is broken.
13) Download the rotation file
14) Put it in /system/lib/hw and change the permissions to match the other items.

Can someone helps?
Today i tried 1 more things, Use a update.zip to update the tab from EA24 to EB28,before try this, i have tried OTA to EB28, it never success.
i download the update.zip from <forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=99sdnmh5pm4rtuv39hk80f7du6&topic=13104.0;nowap> it seems to be official one, and the recovery is the stock version, but it failed again.
I start to believe that my internal storage has been locked, and data can not write in.
Is it possible to due to Fstab issue?
Pls helps to save my tab....

There is only one thing to do : return to stock. Carefully follow the guide. Don't do anything else to your tab, until you go through the restock steps :

[SPRINT] Sprint Tablet Owners Thread (Root, ROM, Flash to stock, CWM Recovery)
The process reformats/repartitions your internal sd card, and sets the correct permissions. If this process fails, there is probably something wrong with the tab.

you might also try to select the option to repartition in Odin when going back to EA24. Then try the steps to get EB28 OTA update, and once you've got that up and running, you can try the update.zip to get to EF17 (gingerbread, as long as you don't need root)

I wouldn't. Try a different sd card

Hi All:
Thanks for the advice.
I have tried to back to stock EA24 using odin, but the situation still ramain the same.
And it fail to OTA to EB28, the EB28 upgrade program will reboot the machine, and enter recovery model. but it will complete the program. also i have tried to put EB28 update.zip in the SD card, but also fail to upgrade to EB28.
I have repartition the phone by P100 serveral time using odin, also tried update Pit file. All failed.
I have format the SD card in Windows & then in Android, useless.
Now i have some clues:
In P1000 rom Roto-JME, there is Movinand.bin, this one got same name as the internal storage IC from samsung. i am thinking that file could be a file similar to partition table.
Can someone help to dump a "movinand.bin" for me from P100?
steps:
1)Get back to stock EA 24
2)Wipe Cache & factory data
3) Root it (Using superone click , you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682)
4)Install terminal (i use better terminal) or using a ADB to connect to shell.
5)Type "su", check whether "$" change to "#" in the shell
6) Type “dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/movinand.bin bs=4096”
7) Find the Movinand.bin in the SD card
You can sent it to me by drop a email to [email protected]
If there is anything wrong, pls help to correct me
Thanks in advance

as some people is asking how did i fix the issue, just publish the information here.
I fixed the issue by replaced the internal storage (the chip), cost about US$ 30(RMB 200)
If anyone have better solution, just post here to share

[Q] HELP! :( Semi Bricked. Tried EVERYTHING

Ok
Please forgive me I have spent up to 7 hours today searching and trying but to no luck.
So I didnt realise what i was doing and Semi Bricked my Phone. I edited build.prop and saved it in MyExplorer(name?) to try and turn off the camera sounds and when I rebooted, it just gets stuck on the galaxy S 2 screen, boot loop.
I'm on SGSII (Australia) Stock Vodafone's ICS 4.0.3 Rooted.
I have CWM installed but tried a few things:
- I can get into Download MOde (no idea what to do here)
- I can get into CWM mode 5.0.2.7 Recovery mode but cant do anything still.
- I tried various Edify script builders to try and put the original build.prop back in but get multiple Status 0 errors whenever I try update.zip from the SD card.
- I tried rebuilding the backup on there and changing the build.prop file on there and trying to restore but MD5 check fails. Even tried rebuilding the MD5 file with the modified files and still no luck. MD5 files fails.
Would anyone have any suggestions and how to resolve this without a flash or wipe? I didnt back recent backup and will lose everything.
I am coming to a point where I really am wanting to back to Apple
There are 2 build.props attached. One is the bad one that stopped me from booting up and I found another one that was named .bak (extension taken off) I found in the same directory (/SYSTEM)
If anyone can help me build an update.zip to push in via CVM I would greatly be in your debt (I tried for 4 hours with no luck)

If you have recovery and download mode yet nothing is lost.
In first, do saved your apps ?
If you had saved them or if it doesn't matter to you, reflash a rom via recovery
LINK HERE:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2773/cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip
Flash it GoogleApps folder
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
The rom that I attached to the reply is a CM9 ICS version, it's quitly stable and we can have some settings on it.
If it doesn't work reflash with Odin (it's with software who use the Download Mode)
http://hotfile.com/dl/149514867/aea2f22/I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip.html
Instructions
-Unzip the Rom Folder ( I9100XXLPQ..........)
-Open the included Odin
-Put your phone on Download Mode
-Click PDA and select I9100_CODE_I9100XXKP*_CL*_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
-Click PHONE and select MODEM_I9100XX*_REV_02_CL*.tar.md5
-Click CSC and GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXA*.tar.md5
-Click Start and don't touch anything still the colored case become green
-And now your phone resurrects
Reply me of results

thanks for your reply
unfortunately i didnt save my apps and havent got backups of my data either
i cant reach the file via ADB either, when i run ADB (have KIES installed and worked before) - adb devices.
nothing shows up when the phone is stuck on "Samsung GS2" screen.
do you have any recommendations around keeping my data there?

If you find the exact same software your on now to download you could try flashing that in cwm without wipes I think that would work i think it replaces all system stuff so it will work, worth a try

understood thanks
what if i just want to flash build.prop via update.zip?
i tried so many methods but it always fails. is anyone able to create a update.zip for me?

i used a GUI script creator to try and update it via CWM recovery mode but it doesnt seem to like it.
If i turn off signature verification, it gives me a (status 0) error saying : E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
and if i turn on verification toggle, it says E: signature verification failed
can anyone help?

i know there are 2 types of ROMS right? the nonwipes and wipes. i really dont want the wipe versions.
the one i downloaded is 1G which i'd imagine is the wipe version if i were to upgrade via odin?

Can you mount any sd on your pc, because you can the recovery mount trick to access to your data.
When you are in the recovery menu, go to mount and storage and click on "mount usb storage" and the internal and external sd will appear on your pc.

you are posting in galaxy s thread....repost in galaxy s2 thread

I don't think so but then again I don't own a s2 but you can select advanced restore: restore data then flash a compatible ROM, then restore the data if you worried but as I said before flashing the same ROM shouldn't remove user data

[GUIDE] how to get IMEI to stick across reboots

This is a rundown of restoring your IMEI and /efs partition. A lot of people lose their IMEI and have no problem restoring it a variety of ways. But if your restored IMEI disappears on next reboot, your problem is something else. I had this, and I believe it was a corrupted /efs partition.
solution, short answer: flash a good efs.rfs file. I did it in Heimdall; I assume it'll also work in Odin. The one I found online (see attachment) restored my efs to the dummy IMEI of 004999010640000. Where I live and on my provider, this gives me network access. From there I could restore my backup nv_data.bin file to /efs. And then my proper IMEI sticks across reboots.
also: kitch posts another way to fix this, here and here.
NOTE: Messing with IMEI has potential legal problems. The attached file restores IMEI to a fairly common dummy number, so I assume it's not a problem. (mods, please delete if this is a problem). The dummy IMEI could work in your area, but that still could pose legal problems. Check in your area, and see the next paragraph.
WARNING/DISCLAIMER: I found this file on Rapidshare. I don't know who made it, put it there, where it might have been linked from, or what exactly is in it. All I had was a filename and I googled it. And all I know about it is that if you have the problems described above and below, then this may work for you. It did for me. If anyone can "see" inside the file to check that it doesn't contain anything malicious, please comment. All I can say is that ClamXav found nothing wrong with BML3_RESTORE.tar.md5 or the efs.rfs contained within it. And that I'm not responsible for what you do to your own phone.
More ways to check if this is your problem:
- You have no signal. In System Settings > About phone, Baseband says Unknown, even if you know you have a modem in there. Also, them going to Status, your IMEI and IMEI SV also say "Unknown". Other people posting about lost IMEI say they have either all zeroes there, or the dummy IMEI 004999010640000.
The rest of this is what I did in GB. I assume if you have this problem, you tried other solutions that got you here too.
- Flashing stock Samsung ROM with repartition doesn't restore IMEI (at least in Heimdall; I can't check Odin). Flashing EZbase Recovery in Heimdall doesn't do it either. They flash, but afterward boots to recovery mode and shows errors about not being able to apply Multi-CSC.
- in Terminal Emulator or adb, running 'mount /efs' returns: 'mount: can't read 'etc/fstab/': no such file or directory'.
- From here, you can still flash a rooted kernel and flash GB ROMs in CWM recovery mode. After each flash, recovery mode shows errors about not being able to mount /efs and/or /dbdata, and not being able to apply CSC.
- From here, if you try flashing to CM7 or CM9, installation aborts. Onscreen error message shows problems with /tmp/updater.sh.
- If you tried to flash a recent kernel with Heimdall, you can get in its recovery mode. I did this trying to get to a known working JB nandroid. I flashed the JB rom again, and it completes. Rebooting sent me back to recovery mode. Repeat rebooting until fed up. Restoring nandroid completes. Rebooting sent me back to recovery mode. Repeat rebooting until fed up.
solution, long answer:
For me, this was from GB.
- Flash the attached file. For Heimdall, untar it (in command line, run 'tar -xvf /path/to/BML3_RESTORE.tar' without quotes, and replacing /path/to/ with the proper filesystem path. If you don't know what this is, try dragging and dropping the file into your terminal window on your computer.)
Then run: 'heimdall flash --efs /path/to/efs.rfs' (without quotes, again replacing path, or drag-and-drop the file into your terminal window)
On first attempt (second was other human error), I did not flash a whole package with PIT file, or repartition. I did later, and that worked fine, too.
- It automatically reboots (unless you told Heimdall not to). You may go to recovery mode and see a bunch of errors about mounting, but applying Multi-CSC is a success. Reboot, and the phone starts normally. You may momentarily see the circle-and-slash no-signal icon in the upper left corner, but soon after it should show signal bars. Your homescreen may show your network somewhere.
- Check IMEI. It should be the dummy number. You can do this with the phone's number keypad (typing *#06#). I prefer to go to System Settings > About phone > Status. This way you can see the dummy IMEI, and IMEI SV should now also show a number. Go back up one level and also check Baseband; that should now show your modem.
- Restore actual IMEI. This requires that you previously backed up your /efs folder. Restoring this is documented better and more thoroughly elsewhere. I went into my /efs backup folder and copied nv_data.bin to /efs. This is easy with Root Explorer. Press the filename, select copy, navigate back up and to /efs. At the top of the screen, click Mount R/W. Delete everything in there (menu, multi-select, select all, delete). Paste the file. Long press the file, change permissions. Make it 644 (Owner is Read+Write, others are Read), save. Long press again, scroll toward bottom of menu and Change Ownership. Make it Radio (1001) and Radio (1001), save. Click to Mount R/O and exit.
- Check it. Go back and check your IMEI and it should be your real one. IMEI SV should probably change, too. (For me, it was 01 in GB, but now it's 03 in ICS). Reboot, and it should remain. Baseband is also filled in.
From here you can flash up to ICS, or whatever, and your IMEI should remain.
note on attachment: The original filename I searched for and found on Rapidshare was BML3_RESTORE.tar.md5. I've changed the extension to be *.tar, so it can upload to XDA. I think Odin users need to add the .md5 extension.
md5 checksum for BML3_RESTORE.tar: f5ab4c90ed60105c8b50e4e9b112e50b

errata: This was originally a [Q]-tagged Question thread. I overwrote the OP with this guide and changed the thread title. Hence, the next several posts may seem out of context.

Still unsolved huh? Khmers do have limited access, due to what happened in their country, anyway you can get a better idea here http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f258/ how efs problems are solved by various box. Just search this forum about efs or post, many Filipinos there .
Having said that, the version of Galaxy S I am using is Korean (has DMB TV, so hardware differences), and to solve this in our version , we simply flash the beginning ROM (with MOVI Files) Its like the Installation Files of Windows, which does a complete setup . This is the last resort for the Korean Galaxy S, solves any and every problems, always wondered why the Galaxy S, does not have this compilation or its only with samsung service centers. anyway
If you have an efs backup, you should try using Root explorer to overwrite (copy paste) the the current efs folder, fix chmod 644 and EXIT using the menu of root explorer and reboot phone to see if it sticks.

thanks for the forum link. yeah, the phone shop nerd was stuck, too. and they did have a box, several that sounded like the octopus box you said.
i've been doing some looking, too, and wondering if it's corrupted file system. i saw several posts about corrupted internal SD, and I don't know if that could be related. my internal SD mounts fine when I boot up, and all my files are there and working. nonetheless, this post seemed interesting, about reformatting in adb with parted:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/page__st__20
but i still have yet to find out if it's related. flashing anything in recovery, i see this:
E:failed to mount /efs /dbdata your storage not prepared yet please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
ehhh... i'd put off learning more about adb on the backburner. looks like i'm diving in.

Two different issues, internal SD get corrupted when one fails to UNDO lag fix, since samsung uses rfs and lag fixing changes it to ext 4, internal SD will fail to be recognized and needs to be formated to rfs by any Rom using rfs ( mostly stock Roms (to solve that flashing a speedmod kernel, does the trick) But your problem is efs folder
and i came across one person, who had both because he had made a onenand mode lagfix and failed to undo before flashing and was pretty impossible to get over

ugh ... that does not sound promising.
and i'm not even fully aware yet what lagfix is or does. it had never been an option on any kernel i used since i started flashing roms, only early this year from stock to CM7 and soon after to CM9 and other ICSes. Well, until yesterday, when i tried flashing a supercurio kernel on a GB rom, and that failed. But I did see lagfix options under recovery>advanced. at any rate, i hope i'm not in the same boat.
is there any way in adb to find out if i am?

what I am saying is that, you do not have this problem, cause If you had, your internal SD will become unavailable and cannot be used and cannot be formated either ...so just solve the efs problem , thats what you need to concentrate on.

thanks, man. i just did try this, simply taking a Camera photo and opening it in Gallery. also, ran mount in terminal to see, and yeah, saw rfs not ext.
when i try to mount /efs, i get an error:
moutn: can't read '/etc/fstab/': no such file or directory. there's a vold.fstab in there, with paths for mounting the internal and external sdcards. ehhhh... still learning what all this is about.

efs folder has read only permission, so you cannot do anything you like...don't mess with vold.fstab...you will have problems with your SD cards .
The only thing I can suggest is to go back to th earliest eclair or froyo to recover.
you may need to unarchive the downloaded file and then unarchive the resulting TAR files too
Hence in heimdall you should have
PIT file (s1_odin_20100512.pit), CHECK repartition
IBL+PBL = boot.bin
SBL = Sbl.bin
MODEM = modem.bin
PARAM = param.lfs
CACHE = cache.rfs
DBDATAFS = dbdata.rfs
FACTORYFS = factoryfs.rfs
KERNEL = zImage
But First, try to delete the EFS Folder (using root explorer) shut down, Go into recovery and wipe everything than battery pull to shut down and go onto download mode after that Flash
just a suggestion

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks ... this is where I get hung up. Anytime I check repartition, I get libusb End of Pit errors. It runs fine without repartition. This is Heimdall 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 on a Mac 10.5.8.
I'm going to make an Ubuntu Live CD and see if I can get it that way. I used to have an old Lubuntu laptop, and I remember Heimdall working to flash a kernel when the Mac didn't. It'd be great if the repartitioning is what's holding me back.

aargh. didn't work. Heimdall on Linux does let me repartition, but on the reboot I still get errors that /efs can't be mounted, multi-CSC can't be applied, etc. I tried ezbase recovery and the full stock setup for the original provider from sammobile. I tried deleting /efs, full wiping and pulling the battery like you suggested. I tried separately flashing a dbdata.rfs in heimdall, which was suggested for someone else with mount problems. but, it seems like all the other mount problems people have are with sdcard, and not /efs.
If I restore /efs, is it supposed to write data to /dev/block/stl3? because that file is always 0kb. But I could try the dd command to restore that way... maybe later tonight. it's been a long afternoon working through this.
I also don't know what is the deal with not being able to find /etc/fstab. I saw in some other places that Android doesn't use it, so I don't know what's calling it, and why. Or if that's tied to why I can't flash anything beyond a GB rom; I get errors about /tmp/updater.sh.
EDIT: OK, so at some point with ezbase recovery and manually restoring nv_data.bin to /efs, after a little while I saw that my /sys/block/stl3 (and so /dev/block/stl3) were looking normal. I successfully restored the file, plus the IMEI folder, which has bluetooth info. I did this with flight mode on, toggled it off and connected to my network. About Phone was showing my real IMEI, plus BT and wifi MAC addresses. And I had /sys/block/stl3 looking normal. So I ran the dd if=/sys/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs, and used that efs.rfs file to flash full roms in heimdall, repartitioned. I used ezbase recovery and the stock firmware from sammobile.com for the original mobile provider. Neither worked. On first boot both times, I got errors about not being able to mount /efs or apply multi-CSC. My IMEI on reboot is always "unknown", not even all zeroes, until I fix it. And CWM won't flash any CM7 or CM9 zips, giving status 7 errors that it couldn't mount. I also tried flashing the efs.rfs file alone in heimdall command line, and that didn't work. Ezbase is 2.3.3 and my stock is 2.3.5, and serial number info indicates it was made in 2011 or really late 2010 (i'm loathe to pull the battery off these days), so I wouldn't think Froyo could help out. I've reached out to a few people here who had the same problem, but never posted about a fix, or finally giving up. I'm almost at my wit's end. There must be a solution, some way to reformat or push back /efs data to /stl3.
BTW, can anyone post the filenames of what is in /sys/data/stl3 for their i9000? I'd like to know if I'm missing something in there, at least when it does fill up. Right now, I'm thinking it's gotta be a bad partition.

weird..just can't help wondering why it seems so difficult, I assume you are always practicing standard requirements before and after flashing like
1. Using CWM, make sure to wipe data/factory reset,
2. Then wipe cache, and then go into advanced, and wipe the dalvik cache too.
3. From there, flash the ROM
4. Afterwards, repeat the wipe step as in step #1
5. Continuing on, go into advanced and fix permissions.
6. Finally, reboot the device.
In my version its even more stricter, take a look this is required for an uncomplicated Flash

Hm, I've always done 1-3, as that's what's prescribed in most installation instructions, and still Dalvik even if it's not specified. I've only ever wiped post-flash a couple times, and only because it was mentioned in some threads, plus a whole re-flash of the rom. And I'd never heard of fixing permissions after flashing until HellyBean, but I always did with that.
This problem came up coming off of HellyBean with the test idle2 kernel, to AOKP JB, which apparently boots after a status 7 error and abort, but I only knew that later and didn't try that. I then flashed Semaphore to get to the working CWM 6 backups, and ended up in a loop of recovery modes. In hindsight I should have flashed a whole rom -- I went from a datadata rom to one without that I never booted, then to a kernel without datadata just to get the recovery and nandroid.
Rats, I didn't even think about that.until just now typing this out.

IMEI BACK.
There was a link in a post here that got me there -- basically, someone uploaded an efs.rfs file. Mods, flag me if this is illegal/against rules, but I'd guess it's not because the file gives you the 0049 IMEI.
But for me that didn't matter -- my partition or the linking was screwed up somehow, and I needed a proper one to flash in Heimdall. I couldn't simply correct my nv_data.bin backup and then export bml3.
The Spanish forum link goes to a dead upload, but I was able to find the file BML3_RESTORE.tar.md5 on Rapidshare. If you need this, it was a rollercoaster. At this point I didn't expect anything to work, and I'm still suspicious of finding a file on the web and flashing it without at least some community I can "talk" to about it.
What happened with the file: I flashed it in heimdall, onto a pretty overloaded and laggy JW5. Rebooted, and immediately saw the circle-and-slash no signal logo, so thought it didn't work -- then it pops up to four bars. I swipe to unlock the screen and it completely freezes. So I went back to ezbase recovery kit and flashed the whole thing (with the CF-root kernel, not stock) plus the efs.rfs file. I didn't repartition because I'm on a Mac, and that doesn't work for some reason, and the linux live CD is painfully slow. It flashes, and after completion, I still get a bunch of errors about mounting, but i get a success message about applying multi-CSC. I reboot, and About Phone shows the fake IMEI, but the homescreen is showing my provider. Also, the file explorer showed my internal and external sdcards.
I reinstalled Root Explorer with Titanium Backup, deleted all in /efs and dropped in my backed up nv_data.bin, changed perms and ownership to radio and radio. Exited folder and reopened, and it was all repopulated. Then I dropped in my backup of the /efs/IMEI folder, only because that has a file with BT info and that didn't regenerate. Rebooted, and all was still there! Finally getting out of this weeklong rabbit hole, and able to come back up to ICS with my real IMEI.
Word of caution, though, if going back up from there to one of the latest ICSes. There's people saying to take the latest CM9 nightly -- if you do that, you're flashing up to CWM 6. If you want to go from there to any of several other ICS roms, you might run into a problem because they might be CWM 5.*. After I had CM9 booted, I went into recovery to flash AOKP M6, lost recovery and ended up having to go *back again* to heimdall. Then onto Team Hacksung's CM9 build 16, then finally to AOKP. Done. And I think at this point I'll lay off the Jellybeans for a little while.

This is great, Now in order to get others who may get into this situation, out of this mess, can you post a step by step guide ( simplified as much as possible)
such that I can link your post to my EFS problems and solutions post, already downloaded Bml3 and will upload to another , so a step by step guide to resolve this will be helpful to others.

Sure thing... I'll amend the OP later today. So glad to be out of this mess. I seriously thought I'd be manually restoring my imei on every reboot until I get a new phone.

xsenman, I changed the OP to a guide, hopefully the symptoms and instructions are clear enough. and thanks for talking me through this; I was losing my mind, and so close to throwing my phone in the river.
for anyone else: xsenman was helping me in another thread too. There, I mention how the official Samsung Service Center here said I had a memory board problem, can't recover IMEI without replacing that, for US$150. I went to one of the many phone seller shops with decent hackers/tinkerers, and they couldn't do it either, and they had Octopus Boxes, or at least a box for Samsung.
anyway. HTH others.
and a tinfoil-hat request: anyone who is able to look at the file attached in the OP, can you see if there's anything troubling or 'weird' in it. I just found the damn thing and tried it. It wasn't the most security-conscious step, but I was in a pinch.

so i had this same problem flashing hellybean 20120820 and used one of the guides here to return to stock then copied my good efs off to my computer flashed all the way back then restored the efs folder but it wouldnt stick. I tried several times fixing permissions and a few other suggestions on this forum but nothing worked. Finally i read somewhere that the cache would restore the efs folder if it wasnt cleared, so i restored my efs thru root explorer to the good one from gingerbread rebooted to recovery, wiped cache, and rebooted. Voila it finally stuck, i dont know exactly why it worked or where i heard clear the cache but it did. Maybe it will work for oyu

Huh, that's cool. I hadn't read that anywhere before. I'm not in that jam anymore, but its good to know.
I do wonder if I all the other 'normal' methods never worked for me because I was using Heimdall. It shouldn't make a difference, but I did run into basic common problems, like repartitioning not working on Macs.
Thanks for the tip. I hope I won't need to try it.

Sorry to get to this reply so late. And, that I'm not sure I can help you -- I don't know anything about this tablet. This guide helped me with a Samsung Galaxy S i9000. From a quick search online, the PIT file you'd use is different. I don't know for sure, but I would guess it's possible that your EFS partition is different from the i9000, and this method would not work for you.
For permissions, you should be able to change them by long-pressing a file in Root Explorer, Root Browser or similar apps; it's not an option you choose, you manually toggle r/w, r and r for owner, group and others, respectively. Or you can use the chmod command in Terminal to set to 644, same thing.

[ROM] STOCK - FULL ICS IMM76D.LP10 for Verizon i815 LTE Tab (only!) *UPDATE 10/16*

UPDATE: My hosting I had for XDA related work expired, so I re-uploaded everything here: http://www.mods4cars.com/pub/xda
Hi everyone. As pretty much everyone of us who got suckered into buying this excellent (hardware) tab from Verizon knows, their update strategy has been very slow and on top of that, glitchy. Finally, 4 months after the other editions of this tab, we're getting ICS... BUT the update is an incremental OTA update that fails on 99% of the tabs, because it expects a version FD01b instead of the FD01 most of us have. The update seems to have gone through for only 2 or 3 lucky users who must somehow have had FD01b on their tab when they got it.
So after one of the best collaboration efforts on the "Tab 7.7 General" forums, I am happy to present to you
The CWM flashable "full stock" ROM for the SCH-i815 - ICS IMM76D.LP10
First up, let me stress again that this is a HACK and that this is RISKY and that if something goes wrong you MAY end up with a BRICK that will require complicated revival ceremonies! Unfortunately I *have* to say here, that whatever you do here, you do AT YOUR OWN risk, I can not be held liable for anything!
Prerequisites:
Verizon SCH-i815 LTE Tablet (ONLY this version!) with Honeycomb (everyone should have FD01 at this point)
Windows PC with Samsung USB drivers installed, meaning when you connect the tab, you should be able to copy files to it.
A micro-SD Card 2GB or bigger, preferable BLANK, FAT32 formatted.
Step 1: Prepare the SD card
Connect the SD card to your PC and copy the ROM files to it.
ROM Choices:
Original Cloned ROM (First version with direct partition image copy, requires >1GB space on SD card which has caused issues for some)
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP10_i815.zip
Update 10/12:
NEW ROM with full ext4 optimizations. System, Cache and Data (only in wipe version) will be cleared, formatted and "fsck -Dfy" checked!
DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING IN CWM!!! Just choose the ROM file appropriately.
Non-Wipe Version (This one leaves existing data partition alone, only checks it for errors)
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP10_i815_nowipe.zip
Wipe Version (THIS ONE WILL FORMAT DATA PARTITION, ALL USER DATA WILL BE LOST!)
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP10_i815_wipe.zip
Step 2: Download the Odin CWM Recovery pack and get ready to flash
Odin Pack: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_i815_odin_pack.zip
This ZIP contains everything you need now and later during this process. Extract it in any folder you like (Desktop/Odin or C:\Odin).
Run Odin3 v1.85.exe
Step 3: Bring the tab into Odin mode
Hold down the power and volume down buttons on your tab continuously until you see the big warning. Press volume UP to enter flash (odin) mode. Connect USB. In Odin the leftmost ID:COM field should now be yellow. Click the PDA button and select the cwm-6.0.1.1-i815.tar file. Leave everything else as-is. Click start to flash and when it says rebooting immediately grab the tab and hold down power and volume UP until you see the blue CWM screen! If you don't do this and let the tab boot, then it will automatically kill CWM (yes, bastards!), so don't let it boot the regular ROM!
Step 4: Flash the ICS ROM
Insert the card into the tablet, then in CWM go to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from external sdcard. Select the electron_ICS-LP10_i815_v2.zip.
It will flash the kernel, the radio (LTE modem), the factory fs (/system) and preload partitions. The whole flash will take about 5 min. Especially on the last two steps be patient, it takes a while to extract 800mb and then flash the full filesystem image. Turning off power here (or running out of battery juice!) will make the rom unbootable and will require a full re-do. IMPORTANT: This requires the use of an external SD card! Using internal storage will not work!
WARNING: DO NOT wipe or factory reset in CWM! You can simply install ICS over an existing Honeycomb setup! Choose the correct ROM version: One erases everything and the other one preserves user data. Since this was originally an OTA, it knows how to convert your saved data. So all your emails, save games etc. will still be there! We had too many reports of problems when wiping/factory resetting with CWM. So for now the best advice for anyone looking into installing the ROM is DO NOT WIPE!
UPDATED PROCEDURE as of 10/16 - NO NEED to flash the old 3e recovery any more! Much easier and quicker baseband update below...
Step 5: Download and flash the baseband modem.bin with ODIN
Download the baseband update: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP10_i815_modem.zip
Bring the tab back into ODIN mode the same as before. Extract the modem.bin file from the modem.zip and drop it in the PHONE section (not PDA!) in ODIN this time. Click start and let it flash and reboot. Done. Under settings/about device you should now have Baseband Version i815.04 V.LP10 / I815LP10
B]Step 6: Optional: Keep CWM or go all stock[/B]
If you would rather like to be full stock than keeping CWM as the recovery program, then bring the tab back into ODIN mode one last time (pwr + vol down) and Connect USB, then flash LP10_recovery.
The ROM is pre-rooted. SuperSU is pre-installed as part of the ROM.
Trouble?
If the tab for some reason gets stuck in a boot loop with the Verizon animation playing over and over, don't fret! Give it AT LEAST 10 full minutes to start with and if it still doesn't show the home screen after that, hold down power and vol up until you're in CWM and wipe data/factory reset (yes, that will completely kill all user data and the tab will be "like new").
Trickier: If you see any warnings in CWM or 3e stock recovery, that there was an error mounting /data, then you lost the data partition and need to do extensive hacking before the tab will ever boot again. We fixed exactly this problem beginning on the very bottom of the page here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927392&page=16 so don't panic! This repair surgery thanks to the excellent guide by Androguide.fr here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1862294
Thanks
Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen! Especially asenduk for dumping the image backups from his tab, rayjr13 for bringing this whole thing to my attention and sending me the first OTA bin file.
Every use of the thanks button is greatly appreciated

Hi, thank you so much for these instructions and all the help. I was wondering does that 6.0.1.1 protect you from the brick bug and I saw that you hosted the V2 file in the original thread but here you have the regular file hosted. Is the V2 better?

What is this brick bug people speak of? Bricking during a flash or bricking when you're sleeping at night and doing nothing to the tab?
Thanks again for this Rom electronic73! Hopefully some devs will take this as a base and run with it!

Yes the 6.0.1.1 (as far as I know!) is safe. No need to wipe anyway. The v2 included more files that turned out to be not necessary. The files posted here along with the updated, safer method of flashing, should be the best and quickest way to get to full stock ICS.
The v2 was mainly an attempt to bring user ice's tab back to life after his data partition got killed.

Newbie question of the day - where is the IMEI stored on the 7.7? If it's in /system, won't this result in *everyone* flashing this image ending up with the same IMEI (which causes a whole set of problems of its own)?
Rodney

Thank you so much, and I do plan on doing a wipe to clear out my Tab to bring it to a clean slate. Just didn't want it to be a broken state lol.

IMEI and such is stored in the mmcblk0p1 partition which (along with 2 and 3 which are the bootloader) we don't touch. So no, we only flash the factory fs, lte modem and kernel. CDMA modem.bin via the new method.

Windows PC with Samsung USB drivers installed, meaning when you connect the tab, you should be able to copy files to it.
A micro-SD Card 2GB or bigger, preferable BLANK, FAT32 formatted.
Step 1: Prepare the SD card
Connect the SD card to your PC and copy the ROM files to it.
ICS ROM: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP10_i815.zip
Modem Upgrade: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP10_i815_modem.zip
Make sure you have MORE than 1GB of free space left on the SD card when done.
Step 2: Download the Odin CWM Recovery pack and get ready to flash
Odin Pack: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_i815_odin_pack.zip
This ZIP contains everything you need now and later during this process. Extract it in any folder you like (Desktop/Odin or C:\Odin).
Run Odin3 v1.85.exe
Step 3: Bring the tab into Odin mode
Hold down the power and volume down buttons on your tab continuously until you see the big warning. Press volume UP to enter flash (odin) mode. Connect USB. In Odin the leftmost ID:COM field should now be yellow. Click the PDA button and select the cwm-6.0.1.1-i815.tar file. Leave everything else as-is.

If you don't do this and let the tab boot, then it will automatically kill CWM (yes, bastards!), so don't let it boot the regular ROM!
Step 4: Flash the ICS ROM
Insert the card into the tablet, then in CWM go to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from external sdcard. Select the electron_ICS-LP10_i815_v2.zip.
It will flash the kernel, the radio (LTE modem), the factory fs (/system) and preload partitions. The whole flash will take about 5 min. Especially on the last two steps be patient, it takes a while to extract 800mb and then flash the full filesystem image. Turning off power here (or running out of battery juice!) will make the rom unbootable and will require a full re-do. IMPORTANT: This requires the use of an external SD card! Using internal storage will not work!
BTW there is NO NEED to wipe! You can simply install ICS over an existing Honeycomb setup! Since this was originally an OTA, it knows how to convert your saved data. So all your emails, save games etc. will still be there!
Step 5: Flash the old Honeycomb recovery in order to do the modem upgrade
Since CWM does not understand the proprietary command used to flash the "firmware" which is the base modem file, we need to use STOCK recovery for this. The downside is that, of course, the new recovery is now locked down and won't accept unsigned files. So we need to flash the OLD Honeycomb FD01 recovery and feed it the modem update!
When the CWM flash above is finished and tells you to reboot, simple press and hold power and vol down again to get back into ODIN mode. Connect the USB again and this time use Odin the same way as above, but to flash the FD10_recovery.tar. This time uncheck the "reboot" tick mark.
Step 6: Flash the modem upgrade with the old stock 3e recovery
When Odin is done above, hold down pwr and vol up until you see the old school recovery pop up saying *manual mode*. Select flash update zip from sdcard and select the electron_ICS-LP10_i815_modem.zip this time. It will go on for a while in total bling flight. No output apart from rotating gears! This one is tricky. Just wait until it either ends saying that it is done or a yellow exclamation point shows up in the middle of the screen. The flash is done.
Step 7: Choose between Stock and CWM
Now bring the tab back into ODIN mode one last time (pwr + vol down) and Connect USB, then flash either CWM or LP10_recovery if you rather like to be full stock. If you chose CWM then be aware that the ROM will try to overwrite that immediately on first boot!! In order to avoid that, flash it with "reboot" box unticked and manually reset into CWM mode (pwr + vol up) and inside CWM select reboot system. It will then give you a big warning that the ROM has a CWM killer and offers you to disable that, so CWM will stay in place (good for Nandroids etd).
Step 8: Boot the ICS ROM and enjoy!
Once you see ICS, go to the play store and install SuperSU. The rom is pre-rooted and just needs the SuperSU app for full root access control.
Trouble?
If the tab for some reason gets stuck in a boot loop with the Verizon animation playing over and over, don't fret! Give it AT LEAST 10 full minutes to start with and if it still doesn't show the home screen after that, hold down power and vol up until you're in CWM and wipe data/factory reset (yes, that will completely kill all user data and the tab will be "like new").
Trickier: If you see any warnings in CWM or 3e stock recovery, that there was an error mounting /data, then you lost the data partition and need to do extensive hacking before the tab will ever boot again.

from step 5 on forward. no need to reflash the whole rom if you already have ICS running.
Just odin the old recovery on, flash the modem update zip, then odin the new recovery or CWM back.

boot loop
Not sure whats up. Ive had your rom on all day. No problems. When i went to install the modem update, i entered odin and installed stock recovery, and boom, went into a verizon logo boot loop. i continued any way with the modem install, then put cwm back on, then wiped and data factory reset. waited 10 minutes during bootloop. Gave up, totally reflashed entire V2 Rom, again, stuck on a bootloop...so nwiped and data factory reset again,,,,still a bootloop....
bummer...does it just run until battery dies?

Weird. OK did the v2 flash go all the way through? Did it finish at some point and say "please reboot" ? Or did it get stuck half way though?
Can you in CWM mount your internal storage? Did you get any errors when you did the full wipe/factory reset? anything saying "error mounting /data" maybe ?

electron73, did you create the .pit file in the cwm zip? It does not seem to match my i815 (which may be my problem, that mine is wrong)

I noticed the latest stock rom is like 550mb opposed to the one you uploaded this morning which was 990mb.. Is there a difference?

No I didn't create it but it is guaranteed the right one for i815. I know because I messed up my partition table last night and had to use that pit to repartition Lucky I found that. What you would do in order to re-do your pit is open odin, put the CWM in the PDA section as usual and then click PIT and select that pit. That should activate a checkbox "repartition device". Leave that on for this one run and click start.
As a result it should partition, then flash the CWM and you should immediately be able to enter CWM. With CWM running connect USB
and use adb shell to get onto your tab.
IN the root prompt enter parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
and in the parted prompt enter print. If you see the result as in the attached pic (note: no file system in the DATAFS line) then you need to fix that the same way ice got it fixed last night. I think the link to the thread is in the OP

Yes the difference is that the preload partition (550mb decompressed) is not included any longer. Not needed. It was never altered in the first place. It only contains a game and useless verizon demonstration videos. I found out later that it had been untouched since Honeycomb FA02c

Yes. V2 went through with no problems.in CWM I can mount efs,cache,system but not data. Then in cwm... OK..wiping data then I get a error mounting data. Skipping format

GT-S6500D bricked (with ROM manager)

so, i'll start with the begining...
i successfully rooted my phone using this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqXzpqcMOtQ (check desription, instructions in romanian, but there is the link to xda forum). I guess i used the 3rd method of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719699
my phone worked just fine, i wasn't able to overclock, just to keep the processor at max clock.
so i searched more informations about overclocking and i figured out that i need a custom kernel. i installed "ROM Manager" from "Google play" and flashed with odin "clockworkmod-jena.5.2.0.8.tar.md5" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768622 .
after that i copyed in my phone the "Universal OverClocked kernel upto 1.1Ghz (For Stock Rom)" from the same link above...
so, in the next step (bricking one) i've opened "ROM manager" and decided to do a data recovery.it requested for root access and i answered yes, with the check to always let this app to have root access. after that i selected "my phone is not listed(or some like that)" and installed the 2.xyz version. then my phone booted with the yellow triangle and after that "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8" screen asked me what i want to do. i chosed "backup and restore" >> "backup" and an error message apeares. after that the phone keep booting in "CWM-based recovery"....
my short story(and question) is: how can i get over boot in recovery mode after using ROM manager to get in?
LATER EDIT:
whiting right now i chosed "backup to sd card" the process started but after some minutes ended with error. i chosed reboot now and some white little code show on my screeen, with a flickerring white band on right.
althought is hard to read that, this is what i understood:

Don't try anything from that ASUS thread , it will screw it up even worse .
Out of the three (actually there are 4 but one , which is the best , isn't listed there) methods to root your phone , you chose the worst . From what I can see from your Odin screenshot , you flashed Galaxy Y firmware on a S6500D (Odin version seems to be the same but I have a bad feeling about that tar you flashed first) .
But the main thing that I think bricked your device was ROM Manager . A thing that no one seems to have pointed out around here , is that ROM MANAGER DOES NOT WORK WITH S6500/D AND WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK IT . . Some people had similar experiences after using it .
Right now try not to do anything stupid with it . I will try to provide you a stock backup to restore on your phone today .
// Here it is : Stock_S6500D_Backup.zip (bassed on S6500DXXLC4_S6500DXXLC3_S6500DORLLC2_HOME) .
Extract it and put the "Stock Backup" folder inside SD Card/clockworkmod/backup/ , on any SD Card you want . Then insert the SD card in your phone , boot into recovery , choose "Backup & Restore" -> "Restore" -> "Stock Backup" and it will start restoring .
If there's any error during the restore , tell me . Also , if everything went fine , tell me as well . I'll tell you how to properly root and overclock your phone as well .

thank you for your time i will try to find a sd-card somewhere... and i will let you know about my progress
cute THANKS button :laugh::good:

is restore working?
your in deep mess man

i guess that rom manager(cwm recovery) can't find my sd card, it tells me when i go to restore from sd:
Couldn't open directory.
No files found
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
could i try something from "mounts and restore"?
Later edit: i managed to force the phone go in gownload mode(unplug your battery, plug the usb, press vol.down+home+power, while pressing those insert your battery )
odin still detect it as mini, although is mini2 (i used mini ROM to root it)
PHONE UNBRICKED!!! you guys can move it back to mini2 development forum, because this thread has developed a way to unbrick sgm2

I've also, dead bricked, it's because I try to use 'swapper2'. As a result had to re-flash with JTAG.
