[Q] Can't download files on this site

I heard something recently about fileshare sites being shut down...is that what I'm experiencing. Tried to download files from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359068 and none of the links work. Actually a couple did but said I could only download a file I uploaded myself. I tried downloading from another thread on this site and had the same problem. Any solutions/alternatives? How can I download from the link I posted above?
Thanks!

I see a KJ4 link. Have you tried the KJ5 thread? It's the newest one for our 7310.

Hi nirogu325, thanks for replying. This is what I am trying to do:
-Enable adhoc connection so I can use my windows mobile phone as a hotspot for my tabl, and
-Enable USB charging for my tab in my car and elsewhere, not just wall jack.
Based on what I've read, I need busybox (Titanium back up says it's installed but when I downloaded an app called wifiadhocenabler, it says it is not installed. Installing it from the market says I need Nand Unlock and this is where I'm stuck at the moment. Do you know how to perform this on the P7310? Or an easier way to meet the objectives above?
Thanks again

I assume you're on a stock firmware. If I were you, I'd flash this specific version which is already rooted and has busybox as you can read in the OP. Also, flash the v2d version of the motley kernel and go here for the USB charging script and instructions on enabling. I know that last link is for the 10.1, but it is the one motley linked to in the v2b version changelog in his kernel thread.

After my soft brick yesterday, I used Odin to "install" the version you attached in your General Guide post P310XARKJ5_P7310UEKJ5_HOME.tar.md5). That's the one, right?
Anyway, the good news is, I decided to install BusyBox without doing the Nand Unlock (maybe it was already done?), and it worked! The wifiadhocenabler app works now and I have a connection to my wm phone! Yay! Before trying the app (for the sake of onlookers) I tried the other method with the wpa_supplicant, such as the one here: http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/ and it did not work for me. The app did!
So now, I'll try the kernel you posted above and then the USB charging.
I'm going to look over your general guide to see if I can figure out how to flash. I'm guessing it's the same or similar to when I recovered my tab in Odin...?

If you mean flashing a CWM package as the motley kernel, a file goes in the SDcard, you access the CWM Recovery and flash. That's a generic way BUT depending on what you will flash you may have to wipe. That's why I avoided altogether putting generic instructions regarding CWM packages in my guide (instructions may vary between ROM and kernels). Read your flashable package's thread carefully.

kind of like rooting? Yes, do I have to wipe to flash the motley kernel? I'm not seeing the flashable packages thread, can you point me to it?

No, lol. If you want to flash the motley kernel just follow that thread's instructions. I gave you the motley kernel thread link in a previous post. For kernels, no wipe is necessary, for ROMs, yes.

Ok, thank you. lol

You're welcome. Some people have the tendency NOT to wipe while flashing ROMs...yet complain later on the road. Always wipe when it comes to ROMs if you want to avoid issues. The only bugs you will experience are the ones that come with the ROM already. Better safe than sorry.

Ah, that leads me to wonder...When my tab was soft bricked and I used Odin3 and inserted the KJ5 file into the PDA section, and so on (I think that was flashing), was I supposed to do a wipe before I did that? If so, would it be better if I started from scratch again? ...hoping not, but better now than latter I'm thinking.

No. ODIN clears everything (including kernels, ROMs and CWM Recoveries). Everything back to stock. I was just referring to flashing other custom ROMs (non-ODIN, i.e. CWM flashable) procedures. Stick to the thread instructions in your chosen ROM and you'll be fine. It's just that some don't follow instructions and due to that, they may experience weird bugs.

That's good news, and strange, because after I used Oden3 (in the way I previously described), all my apps and files were still in tact. Does it just affect the system and not the file memory?
P.S. Hey! I'm no longer a noob! lol I just noticed I am now a "Junior Member".

P.S.S. I'm now running my tablet off my wm hotspot while charging it on my pc! woohoo

That is because you didn't check F.Reset Time on the left side of ODIN before flashing. It is advisable to make sure it is checked. Thanks, I'm gonna put that little but important detail in my guide (dunno how I missed that one ). I advise using Titanium Backup (for apps backup) and then ODIN. You might be fine as you are, but if you ever experience something weird then you know.

My tablet is definitely a little laggy now, but that could be the 3.2 HC. Since I did not check that off, does it mean that it did not install on a clean wipe? I'm wondering if I should just do it while I remember the path to how I got where I'm at now. I doubt I'll remember everything down the road.
I have been making nandroid backups as well as titanium app backups.

nirogu325,
I'm back to do my clean wipe. I performed the wipe/data reset in nandroid and now it's saying there is an update from KJ5 to LA3. Do you still think the custom kj5 is better than the stock LA3? I'm wondering if I should just install the update, root, install the motley kernel and go from there...?
Hope you're well! I still think you should add a donate link...you don't have to be a developer, your assistance/guidance is equally helpful to the community.

While I'm waiting, I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375112 and then I noticed I have the old CMR so I downloaded your updated package: GTab89Files and I cannot paste a single file from that folder onto my tab. I can paste files from other folders, but this one I copy and when I go to paste the paste option is not enabled; if I drag I get a little red circle with a line through it. Any ideas as to why it's rejecting?

[Q] custom kernel and ROM help/clarification

Hi guys, first of all, yes I'm noob, but neither I'm dumb or lazy. All I'm looking for is being pointed in the right direction, and some help in understanding how to upgrade the phone to something different than a paperweight or brick, whichever you prefer..
I've been considering upgrading my X8 with a custom ROM, and been reading a lot, but info is still very confusing, and in some threads downloads aren't available anymore. So i decided to create this thread and try to sum all my questions at once... If you could point out some easy guide links, I'd appreciate.
So.. Here's where I'm at.. I already rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader. And now I'm stuck..
I dunno how to properly backup my data (i want call log, messages, images, apps, etc...), neither how to backup my ROM and stock kernel.
Also i find the flashing kernel and ROM process still a bit confusing. Dunno how to safely proceed to upgrade it.
And finally I'm confused in which ROM i should choose. I've looked at MiniCM10 with JB, but there are some minor bugs. I also saw SEMC Debrand Engine, ICZaraki and SonySX ROMs that looked great, but i'm unsure which will be best for me. I'm not looking for flashing it many times, in preference, I'd love to do it only once, and get it right at first. All i want is a fast, stable, bug free, and good looking ROM.
Thanks.

Just make backup of your rom before doing else ..
And if you want fast and stable.use cm7 or gingerdx ..

1. ROMs are constantly updated when a more stable version has been built.
2. ROM can be backed up in CWM recovery (or TWRP if you are using it). Just go to Backup and restore and select backup.
3. Images that are stored in the sdcard are not deleted unless you format it.
4. It's pretty much impossible to brick (the coma brick) a phone while flashing ROMs. You may suffer from bootloops though, which is what we call a soft brick. Just make sure you factory reset and wipe cache partition (or whatever the particular ROM requires you to do; that's why there are instructions).
5. Good luck.

2. What or What??? Maybe you missed the part where i said i'm a noob, and therefor can't understand all the Acronyms you spell.. And that is a BIG part of all my confusion in understanding most posts.
4. Factory reset i suppose it's on the phone menu, but how exactly do I wipe the cache?
This is why i asked for some proper guide links. I know you probably have been repeating the same things over and over again, and don't want to be one more, all i ask for is proper direction.

Thanks bryan, yes my phone is rooted but all apps i see are Superuser and Titanium Backup, no xrecovery or cwm...
As for the brands own backup app, i used it already, and i think it backups pretty much all the data i need. If that's enough, great. But i still need to learn how to backup ROM and kernel before proceeding to flash.
Once again, some pointers are appreciated.. Thanks.

everything x8/w8 still doesn't tell me how to backup my stock rom and kernel.. don't i need this in case things go wrong or i simply want to roll back to stock?
Thanks.

Thanks for that help, but which one to chose?
1. Free Xperia CWM 4.0.1.5
2. nobodyAtall CWM 3.2.0.0r3
3. nobodyAtall CWM 3.2.0.0r4
Thanks again!

Wow!!! A lot clear now...
Finally i understand how the backup and update is done.
But i'm still confused with the kernel, sorry.. Is there no need to back it up?
Also how do i choose which kernel is best for me, alfs or nAa?
Thanks.

the choice of kernel depends on which rom you're planning to use. some roms can be used on top of different kernels, so you may have to test them for yourself first.

Hello again,
I decided to go with MiniCM10, but i want to partition 2Gb of my 8Gb SD card for swap and apps, and i'm a little confused..
According to:
needs a clean install of miniCM10:
flash JB kernel
in CWM, go to mount&storage :
then, format /system, /data and /cache (so that kernel can use the new partitions size) any data on phone memory will be lost
set up your swap:
==> go to /advanced/Partition SD Card
if you don't want to use a2sd, then choose the minimal size for ext, and the size you want for SWAP
it will FORMAT your SDcard ! any data on SDcard will be LOST
and install the rom
swap partition should work
what doesn't work is the swap info menu
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All my SD card data will be lost, is this true? If so, how do i proceed to backup and restore my backups to my sd card?
I also read this in SIII ROM:
how to partition your sd card:
first
download this new link: http://easeus-partition-master-home-....softonic.com/
its free and you need it to partition your sd card or any other partition tool
8GB as a guide just change to sd size
1. back up your sd card to pc/laptop
2. open partition tool select your sd card and resize to 6gb
3. now with unallocated space make a new partition in ext3/4 2gb (make sure that both partitions are primary NOT logical )
4. now format both partitions
5. now put all your files back on your sd card. windows will only see the 6gb fat32 partition don't worry thats fine
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Would this be applicable for MiniCM10 ROM swap procedure? It seems so much easier..
Thanks again for all your patience in helping me understand what i'm doing and guide me in doing it right.
Thanks!

been reading more and more about partitioning SD, and i'm even more confused.. I think it's better to consider this thread closed, and i'll open a new one dedicated to SD card operations..
Thanks for all you help everyone!

you need to install proper drivers for your device to work
you can get it from Flashtool Directory>drivers>Flashtool-drivers.exe
run the executable file and choose the drivers for x8, fastboot, flashmode to be sure

[ROM] Verizon i815 STOCK ICS rooted IMM76D.LP11 - Verizon OTA as CWM flashable ROM

UPDATE: My hosting I had for XDA related work expired, so I re-uploaded everything here: http://www.mods4cars.com/pub/xda
Here's the new Verizon OTA packaged up as a full CWM flashable ROM. Wiping should not be necessary if you are coming from our last ICS ROM (LP10).
This is meant for those who have CWM installed and for those who modified their system to the point that the OTA does not work because it expects certain files.
If you are on full stock (rooted) ICS LP10 and are not getting the OTA update the regular way, you can look here for a way to manually install it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932597&page=26
The rom is pre-rooted. After installing, run super-su and let it check for binary updates. Also a cached copy of su for restoring with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper is included (for extra safety).
Part1: The ROM
Install with CWM
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815.zip
Part2: The MODEM
Flash with ODIN in PHONE section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_modem.tar
Part3 (optional): Stock Recovery
If you want to be full stock afterwards, flash with ODIN in PDA section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_recovery.tar
Part4 (optional): Stock SBL
If you did all 3 parts above and want to be able to receive future Verizon OTA's flash this in ODIN in BOOTLOADER section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_sbl.tar
Enjoy

Many thanks!

Thanks Electron. You da man for us i815 owners.

Many thanks! I just decided to go back to stock for stability reasons. Your method works perfectly.
I don't know where many of us i815 users would be without your help. Thanks again man!

Did you have lots of apps installed? I just realized it's doing a run_program("/tmp/fsck.ext4", "-Dfy", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");
on the data partition. If that partition is full with lots of files then the check might take a while. The status bar doesn't move while this command is executing. I never tried it on a "full" partition! A freshly wiped data partition is checked in 2 seconds

Yeah, I had about 100 apps installed. In any case, I tried it again through CWM. When it did the check this time, it took about 10 secs. So the first one must've been a hiccup or something. I was able to flash ROM and then radios through ODIN, so I think I'm good. I looked at the files on the internal storage and the SD card and they are still there, so I'm assuming that I'm good. Anything else to check or are there any log files that you want me to try to grab for you? Thanks again.

Hmm ok, definitely good to hear that it ran through the 2nd time. Maybe I should kick the FS checks out. They are still left over from last time where we had all those partition problems...
If you want, go check in the /cache dir for any log files left by CWM, maybe there's something in there.
Btw. Thank you for the generous donation! It is very much appreciated

Also, regarding the current ROM, I really curious about the supposed batt life increases. My tab at this point is barely getting 4-5 hours screen time with it set fairly dim. Is that normal or should I be getting more that that? I don't suppose that a ROM update will help with screen time much, but just curious to hear what others are getting.

Update was painless

My battery life is just shy of 8 hours with 40% brightness, wifi and 4G on. GPS off. This is better than LP10.

The first step went flawlessly using TWRP. I'll flash the LP11 modem.bin tonight using Odin.
Thanks for this, Electron. I'm about to make another small donation to your beer (or whatever) fund!

I have never tried TWRP on this tab. What's the current version for our i815? Does it work well? I assume just like CWM it doesn't accept stock OTAs though, does it?
I still keep going back to stock recovery in order to accept OTAs (which never come for me haha and I end up updating manually!)

It was hard to flash (the apk method didn't work, I had to use Odin -- which really is no big deal, just scary for some). In any event, I'm running 2.3.10 available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809295
I love TWRP... so much easier than fumbling with the volume and power buttons.
Never tested with OTA because I rely on you! :good:

I like TWRP but wish it could mount my encrypted /data partition like it could for my Nexus 7.

Stuck on 4G LTE Boot Screen
I'm going back from CM10 but after flashing ROM I'm now stuck on the Verizon 4G LTE screen. Not sure what you recommend?

Did you wipe data/cache? Coming from CM10 you definitely need to do a clean install. You can simply flash the "wipe" version of the LP10 rom first, then upgrade to the LP11

I'm buying you dinner tomorrow (well, I hope the donation I send you will ) ROM and modem installed without a single hitch. Only thing that caught me off guard again was the modified hosts file, bit I fixed that. Wife is happy! Thanks for your work on this.

[Q] Formatted Note internal SD - Wont boot

Hi.
Firstly, i should start by apologizing for my stupidity and complete failure to be less... useless, when it comes to my phone.
I am selling my Galaxy note, which is rooted and has ICS Stunner 2 on it, with 'cwm-based recovery v6.0.2.7 (if that helps)
My issue is, Before selling my phone I took out my 'external SD' card and decided to reformat/nuke my internal SD, thinking that the firmware would remain intact and the thing would still be useable if i repartitioned it or whatever.. Again, a bit new to this..
Anyhow, half way through formatting the internal SD the process was interrupted. I can boot the phone, but when I do anything that requires use of the internal SD (saving photos, downloading apps... and in cwm recovery, even factory reset) it wont work
In fact, when I try a factory reset it says 'Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure
I would love to know what I am meant to do to fix this, and of course am willing to provide any info you may need to help me out here..
As i was typing this the phone got sold and I am now running against the clock to make this work...
please, help!
Thank you so much and I again apologize.

If you are selling your note, maybe the best thing you can do is flash stock rom for you region and thats it.
It will solve your problems at once.

I appreciate this, however I have advised the buyer that I am selling it Rooted.
I don't want to let him/her down at all.
Other than this the phone is perfect.. As soon as this is fixed all will be good

What ROM should I choose?

Hello gents and ladies
I have been using the LQB version of the Serbian official Jellybean update since it went out on Sammobile. Though I am experiencing some unpleasant things which I wish to get rid of.
I use this phone for basic things such as listening to music, browsing, texting and calling but I was negatively surprised that this firmware has lots of issues. At first I had problems sending and receiving messages, then the phone started acting weird when I tried to multitask (switching from the music list to the message box) then problems with the camera that has big issues with video recording and also video playback (video playback is a general issue, not a camera specific one). I have also had problems that lead the phone acting however he liked and freezing for long periods of time.
I just wanted to ask: is there anyone here that has the time and kindness to point me a ROM that is ready for daily use and to hand me a completely noobish tutorial on how to install the ROM?
I would also like to specify that I have installed the LQB firmware accordingly - reseted the phone, restored to factory settings and setting the render 2d thing from the developer options.
Thank you very much and I would really appreciate the effort of an useful reply.

Just take look in the Development Section, there's now a lot of ROMs to choose from... You can try Pure Vanilla, JellyMod, HarshJelly or LightJB... they are all good :good:
Or wait for about a week and give my ROM a try

And as for any ROM, the installation is quite simple.
First things first: root your phone.
You can root it by flashing the zip file Shaaan provided in the Original Development forum. Flash it through temporary CWM ( also by Shaaan in that section )
We're getting fired up now.
You're now rooted.
Flash the ROM:
1. Put in sd card
2. Boot into recovery ( vol up + home + power )
3. Select: apply update from external sd
4. Flash temporary CWM
5. Select again: apply update from external sd
6. Search for your file
7. Flash it
To enhamce your performance flash a kernel.
I'd suggest Pure Vanilla with CoCoreE 7.0!

Hey guys, thanks a million for your replies!
I do also have another question: I've lost my SD Card (phone was starting doing crazy stuff so I removed the SD Card and put it in my wallet but I can't seem to find it anymore now). Is there anyway I can root without the SD Card (Odin maybe) ?
Thank you,
Adrian

As far as I know, I don't think you can do it without a sdcard... I have heard of Mobile Odin - but I don't think its compatible with SGSA....

back up all your data like contacts etc..
and wipe cache/data (factory reset)..

SD cards are not that expensive.
But in CWM you can flash from internal storage too! So try that.

Thanks for the advice, but:
1. What exactly is the definition of CWM? I have seen it around here but I couldn't figure out what it is.
2. I would like to avoid doing experimental things since it's my only phone and I don't wanna brick it or do permanent damage to it.
Thank you!

CWM aka Clockworkmod Recovery. It's a custom recovery used to take nandroid backup, flashing roms, etc. Search for a thread in general section for more (it pinned up there so it's easy to find). There's another recovery which serves the same purpose as CWM which is TWRP (team win recovery project). You can use either one of those and the only difference, twrp is touch screen while cwm uses the keys on the your device to navigate. However, there's now a cwm touch which basically cwm but you can navigate by touch.
As long as you follow the steps correctly and take necessary precaution, you have lower chance to brick your device.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, it really helped. So the CWM is the recovery mode? (The one that is similar to the download mode?)
I'll probably give it a shot, but I'll have to read the tutorial carefully.
Thanks again!

Yeah, you can access it by using the three buttons pressed. Here would be a good place to start reading.

CWM is a custom recovery image.
It allows you to flash .zip files which are not signed ( which is impossible in stock recovery ).
There is a tutorial somewhere in the Q&A or General section of the forum you should take a look
