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

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.
I have way too much respect for xda to pollute it with stupid questions, but as a desperate noob at it for 4 hours, I can't find any other way to rectify my problem without humbly asking you guys for help..
So in short I decided to root a Galaxy S with odin to avoid all those crazy signature errors i've been getting doing it through the phone. After an initial root success I found that superuser was installed but not CWM. I then got lead onto another thread telling me to flash a kernel through recovery mode that would somehow give me CWM or something..
I went onto scoure this thread for a compatible kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
But alas could not find the elusive "JP4." All 10 i've tried lead to bootloops. I decided to try again the initial rooting method I used (which gave me superuser and no CWM) but that too lead to bootloops or a still flash screen.
I can still go into recovery and download modes fine but cannot boot at all.
Your assistance would be much much appreciated
And I just realised I forgot to title the thread. I'm such a fool today..
Men, be more specific: WHICH kernel, on WHICH ROM?

Cheers for the reply matey. Its all good, I finally managed to finally track down the Aussie factory kernel I needed. That brought everything back nicely.
The Australian service provider Kernels should really be added to that big list
Hello,
AS the title says, I Bricked my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Here is the brief story.
1. Rooted my phone successfully by following instructions from forum discussion - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282011
2. Flashed rom "cm_ace-ota-eng-.beta8" - Beta 8 for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 (16 Apr 2012) downloaded from website - http://galaxyics.com/releases/phone/2
3. Meantime installed CWM through Odin Multidownloade 4.38, followed instructions from website - http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-pro-b7510-to-jpkc4-2-2-2-firmware/
4. Once cm_ace-ota-eng-.beta8 is flashed, rebooted phone. Here where things went bad. Now, I cant boot to Android. Samsung log flashes and its stuck at BLANK Screen with sky blue color.
Not sure, whether its a soft brick or totally bricked my phone.
I can boot to CWM recovery menu. I even tried to flash different rom but in vain.
I tried "Android 4.0.3 based Custom ROM for Samsung Vibrant — Ice Cream Zenwich" for second time but no luck followed instructions from website - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-3-based-custom-rom-for-samsung-vibrant-ice-cream-zenwich/
Not sure, how do I fix this problem.
I searched on google for recovery options however, cant seem to figure out how that can be done. Request for your assistance.

Thanks for your quick responses.
I know, I messed up with my phone without knowing things.
However, I need bit more help here. Request you to bear with me.
@ an0nym0us_
from where can I get the stock rom ?
I searched google for stock rom and came across following article
yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html
is that ok to follow the instructions from there ?
sammobile.com
Make surr you can boot INto dl mode using power-vol down-home combo.
To make cm beta 8 work: wipe system and data, and cache. Flash beta 8 then after inatalling zip, install it again without wiping anything. Then reboot.

good enough to get phone back to life
I will give that a try and post back how it goes...

yes the blogspot tutorial is good enough, follow it properly.

I can't thank you enough, you saved my phone )
Flashing twice worked like a charm !!!
All, thanks for your inputs and time.
Thanks so so so so so so much again.

God bless you all
You can't just buy a mobile and next day flash what is a beta rom without at least spending a day or two reading the stickies on here and reading and understanding the complexities of flashing what is a rom which still says on the opening post for devs only. Some.people who have followed Maclaws rom from the start still experience problems when flashing a new beta. Hope you read enough to understand about flashing, rooting, backing up etc before you try again to install Ace's most awesome and ground-breaking rom. Take full advantage of what, as was previously stated, a very lucky escape.
Please use thanks button
Glad I helped

Very true. I was really lucky !!!
Now, phone working perfectly fine with Android 4.0.4 (Kernal V 2.6.35.7-perf-CL945787)
However, noticed one glitch though. Camera is not working with this rom, when I tap on Camera, I get a message " Can't connect ot the camera ".
I havent rebooted my phone, since it recovered ( i mean post flashing ). Perhaps, a reboot would help.
If the camera doen't work, then I need to live with that, thinking at least phone is working condition

Guys,
Sorry for the trouble again...
I need one more help.
I have backed up my contacts using kies before flashing my mobile. However, when I connect my phone to my laptop using usb, kies doen't detect the phone. I beleive, thats because, kies doesnt recognise the new andriod kernel.
Is there any way to restore my backed up contacts other than using kies ? I have around 600-650 contacts.
Thanks for any inputs.
Maclaw's ics is aosp. kies wont detect any rom other than Samsung's stock rom.
The camera stull doesn't work with our ics, so just wait till next beta.
On your kies problem, kies only recognizes stock roms.
You should always keep your contacts on your google account!

Thanks for your input.
Is there any other application, using which I can restore my contacts ?
I mean, an application which is capable of reading Kies bkp file and restore contacts or any tool which can read the Kies bkp file and allow me to imposrt contacts in csv format or at least some readable format ?
Perhaps, answer would be NO but still wondering....
For contacts you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882861&page=2 but I dont know if it really works... first time i flashed my ace I got the same problem and I finally give up (damn Kies!)
You should backup your contact on sd file (Contact-Export-Sd) before flashing, its the most easy way!
For camera there's no way, it doesnt't work on the rom yo've installed, it's clear on the site where you downloaded it (Bucktracker section: https://github.com/GalaxyICS/android/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open).
Hope I help you.
...sorry for my english
I remembered I did that before. By converting the contact file made by kies but I forgot already. Sorry can't help ya there!

Which Kernel
Hello Everybody,
I read about this Rom and it sounds really cool. I am excited to try. However, this will be the first time I will flash my S3 LTE (I have flashed other devices before). So, I dont want to brick my S3 LTE. I was confused about the Kernel. Do I need a costum kernel? There are some for Android 5.1. I am running right now a stock Android 4.4.4 rom on my device. Can i just install the Rom following the tutorial on the first page or is there something special about that?
Thank you very much for helping me,
greetings
Marc
It seems my Bluetooth is not working after flashed this rom, full wiped. The phone could not find any bluetooth device and could not be found as well.

As long as you have rooted your phone, you can just follow the steps in the OP. The kernel is installed in the rom .zip package. You can install a custom kernel over the stock one if you want to experiment with CPU settings and governors etc, but you won't get much help on this thread if you have issues like things not working properly.
At the moment there a couple of bugs that could be fixed by using agni until the next build however
Bluetooth
Did a clean install with version 20150610. Bluetooth seems not to work. Although turned on, not finding other devices and not be seen by other devices. Is this a bug? Bluetoth was working before the flashing when using Slimkat.

The mod is very good. One note: You can turn off the phone to ring. I will not ring deaf
Thanks and great work on the mod
I just want to thank you for the great mod.
I have waited for a pure (more or less) AOSP mod for the S3 LTE and here you are!
Sometimes I get forced close on the Android keyboard (mostly in Whatsapp) and one or two times FC of the SMS/MMS app. But nothing serious.
Keep up the good work.
TiggaZ
I tried the new release as of 22.06.2015 and it is pretty stable.
Bluetooth is working (connects to an BT headset) but I got some forced reboots while listening to music. Maybe it was because it was Macklemore, I don't know .
After a clean reboot everything seems to work fine. I will give some more feedback about the long term stability as I use this as daily driver now.

Same issue here... Everything else is working great though, so thanks for that ROM :good:
The sd card appears to be working when plugged directly in my PC, and I tried formatting with no success when plugged back in my phone. It's also working when in recovery.
A problem with Gapps
Hi, I tried to install this ROM, but Gapps wouldn't install. (I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.4.7)
It says:
Code:
E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/pa_gapps-modular-micro-5.1-20150410-signed.zip
(Status 6)
Installation aborted.
Any help? It seemed that at least one another person in the main ROM thread was having the same problem.
I managed to install the ROM itself with CWM at the first time and it booted successfully, but without Gapps. Then I changed the recovery to TWRP, and it let me install Gapps (I did a clean reinstall of the ROM and Gapps), but then it stuck on a bootloop. Edit: More details: the loop animation, green, red, blue and yellow "Google spheres" swaying, just keep repeating indefinitely. I don't know if that's a "loop" exactly, but the device doesn't seem to boot further than that.
Installed CWM back, and tried to do a fresh install once again, only ROM, which worked last time. However, the it still bootloops.
I wonder what's wrong. I'm doing a clean install, so why can't I reproduce the successful boot I did the first time...?

Are you sure it's a bootloop? It can take a while on the first boot. A bootloop is when the phone turns itself off and on repeatedly, if it's showing the animation, just wait (10mins?).
My install of the latest version went fine using TWRP (2.8.5 IIRC).

Ah, okay, then it's not bootloop. My phone just hangs indefinitely on the boot animation screen. I have waited for 30 mins, and still nothing. The strangest thing is that I tried some other ROMs ([5.1.1][Cyanogenmod 12.1][UNOFFICIAL][11.06.2015] and [UNOFFICIAL] {UBER} SlimLP 5.1.1 {-o3}), and they always hang at boot. I tried Samsung 4.4 stock ROM just a moment ago, and it booted. But it's so old, ugly and clumsy I don't want to use it. I tried installing this F-AOSP again now that the stock ROM OS booted once at least, but still no success – it always hangs on boot.
But it hardly is a fault of F-AOSP since it seems to happen with almost every ROM. I wonder if I messed something up that simple data+cache+dalvik cache wipe will not heal.

Hello guys,
Firstly, I would like to point out that I'm very much a newbie in terms of customizing phones (rooting,recovery,flashing ROMs etc). However, after much research, I decided to flash a ROM on my S3 Mini i8190n. The ROM I used was CM11 4.4.4 Kitkat. I pretty much followed the flashing process down to a tee, but I've encountered a significant problem. My phone starts up and then the animation comes on, furthermore, nothing happens after this, it's just a continuous animation. The animation is new to me, so I'm guessing the ROM partly flashed ok, but I don't understand why my phone sticks at this point. I'd like to point out that I have tried wiping data/dalvik and factory reset to no avail.
If you guys could assist me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Pinda
RESOLVED
Hello guys,
I'm surprised I haven't received any responses from the experts on this site, but I understand sometimes threads go unnoticed.
Just an update, after a stressful week trying to fix my phone, I finally managed to restore it back to the stock ROM. I still don't know what cause the start-up animation to stick and constantly loop, it's a mystery to me. However, I finally managed to flash the stock ROM via Odin after downloading the official firmware from Samsmobile. It was such a relief seeing the green 'PASS' sign and seeing my precious S3 mini boot up, it was blissful seeing something other than the boot-up animation on repeat. The whole ordeal has made me realise that flashing custom ROMs etc just isn't worth it, especially if the handset you own is pretty decent anyway.
Just a quick question for you folks, a lot of forums mentioned flashing a pit file with the firmware on Odin and that's what I did to successfully restore my phone. However, I am still quite unsure what the pit file did, can anyone shed some light on this..
Good afternoon
I would just like to say that my phone is still running smoothly, so I think the official stock firmware is running ok without problems. However, I've noticed that my phone still has CWM recovery installed despite flashing the original firmware for my variant, is this normal? Seems strange to not have root and still have CWM on my handset....
