[Q] CM9 no phone - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tab upgraded itself to honecomb, that was fine. Recently I decided I would flash to MIUI 4 and that was ok, except if I switched it off and plugged in a charger half a picture would appear and whilst it would charge and boot fine, if I unplugged it without switching it on, it would go very very flat indeed overnight.
So I tried to flash it to CM10.1 but booting just took me back to the recovery screen, so then I tried MIUI 5 but that gave a zip error- so then I flashed CM9 (can you tell that I dont really know what Im doing) by dropping the zip on the external sd and using the recovery screen to load it - and it works - in fact the cyanogen9 boot screen is so much more fun than a flickering 'samsung' - but - now the phone side isnt working. Oddly the phone can tell what networks are available but it can't connect to orange with the sim in.
(Also my tune in pro app can only load a handful of streams when all of them work on my note...)
So now what - can I flash a new modem to fix what I might have done to this one - or would the oft chanted mantra 'Restock to 2.3.3. Then flash overcome before flashing cm9' sort me out..... or....

The fact that your tab got upgraded to honeycomb means you probably don't have a P1000 tab.
This forum is for P1000 or all variants of the original Samsung Galaxy 7" tab

Most def a GSM p1000 in fact. Maybbeeeee I meant gingerbread. Now I think about it upgrading to cm9 was probably hopeful too.
Hmm interesting. I am down as new on the forum despite joining 7 years ago....

If your IMEI isn't 35xxx, you have a bad or corrupted efs. Bad IMEI won't be able to join a network.
There is likely a backup folder in your internal or external SD card, and you need to pick the oldest one and replace your /efs with it, using root explorer.
If you don't have a backup, then you need the restocking dance....
I joined this forum since it was really talking about xda... Wonder how many current user remember what an xda is.

" Wonder how many current user remember what an xda is."
I had an XDA MINI S - but the XDAs were just before that when I was an IPAQ (but still missing my Psion s3a)
I remember when people laughed at you when you had an electronic pda.... but I digress.
I have taken the P1000 into overcome v4. No idea what I was doing so the explanations must have been utterly brilliant.
Modem is working again.
Shall I leave it alone now - or if I drop CM9 back on it will the phone part still work? Thing is...my internet radio app probably wont work as well as Im used to so perhaps I will stay as I am for a bit....
maybe...
Side story- call it a sig.... My XDA MINI S was actually the O2 XDA MINI S - and one day I lost it. In Chester. I got back to work not realising I had lost it., then people kept coming up to me 'did you get your phone back' ... blimy where my phone...I said....
Turns out, a Polish woman found it in the street in Chester. Because it had O2 on the front she took it to an O2 shop. The man in the shop got it going and called ALL my contacts asking them who I was... finally found my secretary who gave me their number so I went and picked it up. Everone I knew knew what I had done..before me! Now THATS technology for you.
#truestory
Do that with an eye-fone!

Haha. Yes I too owned a HP IPAQ before.
Quite a funny story you got there with the mini. Thanks for sharing.
About upgrade, now you had a working one, copy the /efs folder to a safe location.
And I recommend you try out AOKP JB by stimpz0r.
I think it is rock solid!

I seem to be spending most of my xda time on the sgs2 section....I'm happy with my tab, so just pop in now and again to see what is new. Basically to see if cm7 is matured, and also to see what wizardry the overcome team have produced.
But the sgs2 has tons more development(more is not necessarily better though, seeing as people just seem to be releasing 'themed' roms, nothing original apart from villainrom), but its a lot to keep up with

Overcome 2.01 crashes after upgrade from Overcome 1.6
Hi, I am new to the forum so please bear with me.
I had previously installed Overcome 1.6 on a Telstra Galaxy tab; I ran it for around 2 month with no hiccups. I recently updated to Overcome 2.01 to have video on skype; however ever since the upgrade the Tab is really unstable. It crashes every time I try to look for directions from google maps while on the road.
The crash is so severe that it won’t go past the overcome boot logo after restart. I reinstalled a couple of times with the same result. I also tried following the guide to step 6 and see if it also happened on the “factory fresh gingerbread” form; and this time it crashed as soon as I used the browser over wi-fi. The crash is as severe, the tablet shows a lot of pop up errors after boot and then it boots itself again.
Can I revert back to Overcome 1.6 while the new version (Android 2.3.4) is released; or I can’t go back from gingerbread to froyo?
Thank you for advising.
Cheers,

Hi There,
I indeed followed the instructions to the line the 3 times and the result is always the same.
I did notice that on the last step when loading the rom itself, the screen flickers a few times and during the "loading kernel" line a few blue lines appear; the process still finishes normally.
Should I use the Telstra modem file instead of the one on the JK3 folder?
Cheers,
hi carludo
crash while jusing wifi maybe the wrong modem. you are from australia?
is it a euro or asian tab? so look for the right modem. many times flash
the same maybe wrong.
best wishes to downunder.
Hi There,
Correct, it is a Telstra Galaxy tab, I used the modem file in the JK3 folder as per the instructions; I will give it another try and use hte modem file from that Testra restock thread and see if it makes a difference.
I will let you know later tonight how it goes.

Got my streak back

I got my dell streak 7 back. I had given it to my daughter but she didn't take care of it so I took it back from her(she lives with her mom). Wow there are all new people here. everyone that was here seems to be gone. Did anyone ever get cwm working with hc? Once we get an official release from dell I'll work on it. (For those that don't know me I ported over cwm for the s7)
So with hc it's going to update the wifi only model? I don't use 4g or the radio so is there a wifi rom somewhere I can flash so I get the ota when it comes out?

Screen black; battery pull required

This morning when I woke up I checked the calendar on my Captivate and everything looked fine. I had an IM app (Go) running but stopped it. I went back about 15 minutes later to look at something else on my phone and it would not wake up. Nothing I did would make the screen come on. I eventually just pulled the battery and it started working fine. This is the 3rd or 4th time that's happened and usually at night while charging.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help
Its called sleep death. What ROM, kernel,oc/UV values are you using?
I've never heard of that, but I would definitely say that describes it perfectly.
I'm actually running stock Froyo. All of this pain lately makes me want to load up a custom ROM this weekend (assuming it would help). I just don't want to end up bricked.
Thanks
That's not sleep death, at least what I experienced, I have seen that on my own captivate. Usually mine will lock up and become non-responsive, eventually the phone will restart. I don't know if it is a common issue but one I have had often.
Ya I've had that happen. Either I gotta pull the battery or my phone poops on itself and reboots. Oh well

Does anyone know if a custom ROM would fix the issue or is this hardware related?
I've given custom ROMs much thought. Not sure which one I'd choose, etc. Seems like there is so much to read and a lot of the information builds on itself. My luck I'd try AIO or something and get down to page 80 of all the postings and realize it doesn't work for me after I already flash it.
Thanks
I started having the same problem a couple days ago. I've my captivate for almost one year already. I had stock eclair, froyo, several roms. Now I'm using stock GB 2.3.5 KI2. The only thing that I can think it changed is the fact that I added an external 16gb sd. I'll do a factory reset and remove sd to see if it happens again.

I have had the least issues on cognition 4.5.3, the gingerbread leaks for whatever reason never worked well for me. I have a S II now with no issues, but still use the captivate like an iPod touch. Working very well on cognition as I type.

I found the source of my battery leak/black screen. It was "Smooth Calendar Widget" app.

Bricked 8.9 I'm such a DOPE

Hi All,
Just picked up stock Tab 8.9, I'm fairly well-versed in rooting, CWM, Odin, etc. Enough to be dangerous I guess. In my haste I flashed a 5.5+. version of CWM that I only saw after the fact specifically warned that it does NOT work on the LTE version, but that is what I have (SGH-I957).
Now, I get absolutely nothing. I cannot get any screen - recovery, download, Odin, etc with any button combination that I try (power + vol up, down, both, etc.) As if there is simply no power to the device, whether plugged in or not. Battery was fine before I did this. When I plug in to USB I get 3 quick tones, neither Odin nor Kies sees the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Howard,
That is pretty f*ckd up sorry for my languege lolz!
I guess you have hard bricked your device and that is also why you cant get it back to live.
The only option left is return it to samsung.
Sorry mate i wish i would know something but hard brick is almost unbrickable.
Greetings SK
+1 you're screwed, sorry. Do take it back and tell them it won't turn on, than play dumb. I just did that with my i957. It wasn't bricked but did have a custom rom, nrvate's. I should have it back tomorrow from Samsung. Then twrp and nrvate's cm10.
I did the same with a phone I did brick.

Does the 'back to Samsung' advice hold for a tablet I bought used?
If it's still under warranty Samsung should take it and fix it free. If its out of warranty they'll fix it but at a cost. They can track it by its serial number and let you know if it's under warranty. Warranty is one year.
Your other Option is to jtag it, that'll run you about $50

OUCH! From experience, I can tell you it's definitely bricked. I know because I've done it - TWICE!
First time I was half asleep and made a bonehead move. Second time, I flashed a zip that should have worked in CWM, and it just never came back to life. Wouldn't charge. Wouldn't Boot. Nothing. All's I did was mail it back to the U.S., and both times I quickly received it back all shiny and new and stuff. Yea. Just play dumb...
Even though I screwed up twice (somehow), I'm gonna try it again on Hubby's Tab right this minute. But this time, I'm frigging terrified so wish me luck. I'm reading everything - TWICE!!! Hopefully, third time is a charm.
Oh. And don't feel bad. You''re not a Dope. We're learning. I've been flashing since back in XDA's baby-days and the days of the first Windows phones, but never ever bricked anything until now (except that one time in St. Louis). But blankety--blank happens and sooner or later I think it happens to all of us. Good luck with the return.
Good luck Punto on your. Rom install. I got my tab back last night and am up and running nrvate's cm10. I also flashed gapps 4.2 on it. Camera is crap though put I like the pinch to zoom in email.

YAYYYYY!!!
I DID IT! YAYYYY!! :victory: I was up till 7:30a, but got it done right this time. In retrospect, after reading mountains of posts, I realized that my mistake was in not knowing there is a HUGE difference between the P7300 and the I957, and that you ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT, NEVER, EVER, EVER FLASH A P7300 ROM TO AN I957. WHO KNEW??? I thought they were the same. NOT!!!
FTR, I'm running CWM 5.5.04 flashed through ODIN, and AOKP Jelly Bean flashed of course through CWM. No worries...
Anyways, going forward, I'm able to make voice calls out, but not receive any. Guess I'll read up on this to see if there's a patch or fix or sumpin'.
Ya gotta love this forum and all of the superbright Devs out there. (Are they still called "Chefs" like back in the good old days?
Goog going! The biggest mistake people make is not getting a Rom specific to their device. There are so many different flavors that it's easy to do. I did it to when I got started, but lucky only soft bricked.
Which Rom are you using? The tab comes to life with An updated rom doesn't it? The devs are great!

Thanks jd1639. I'm using AOKP Jelly Bean. I agree. This ROM definitely brought this thing to life. I knew I had to change it cause Honeycomb sucks big wind. It belongs to my thoroughly-non-technical-hubby so this new ROM almost makes me jealous. I have another one coming as a warranty return and I'm gonna flash that one too. Who knows? I may keep it instead of selling it. I have a Padfone1 that I'm also going to sell, but I just got the GN2 cause I just couldn't live without 3G anymore (I'm in Panama so no 3G here). I'm falling in love with the GN2 but coming from the PadFone's larger screen, I wish it were a 7" instead of a 5". This 8.9" is a pretty good size though, so I'm thinking: "Hmmm... What if?..."

[Q] Verison Samsung Galaxy Tab SCHI800BKV

Ok. First off I'm new here so be nice.. lol had to get that out of the way.
First off I'm out of my wits end.. I have been searching the internet for 2 days for information as to how to get this tablet up and running and as great as the info I have found, it's in pieces and I seem to be at the end of my rope so to say. I have downed so many thing thinking it's what I need I don't know what to use or not.
A friend of mine messed up his Tablet BAD and said if I can get it running it's mine, he is not good with fixing computers and such.
I'm able to get into the download screen (power - down vol ) recovery (power- up vol) When I turn it on it loops the Verizon wireless screen. Also the SD card is computer formatted as I thought that is how I was to do it, ugh,. There is no steps as to how or where to get it to the way it was. If I try to recover it gives me a ton of errors for cache and that it can't find files. I have Odin but can't see the tablet with it, heimdall-suite-1.3.2 helped me to get to the meat of the tablet. SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse but have not used it as I'm not sure how. I'm told that it needs to be FLASHED with the OS I guess. So what OS do I use, there are so many out there. And how do I do it? Would like to get the SD card back to normal too.
Thanks for reading and helping.. o' the version is 11.08 that I see no one has mentioned or does that matter. Am I In the right area? OR is it a Tab 2? or 7.7. or something else.. ugh
