[ROM][SPRINT] Zypher v1 - Suspended

3/3/2011 - I've been away for several weeks, sorry about that. I've also moved on and will be futzing with my shiny new Xoom. I will not be working on Tab projects for the immediate future, it at all.
Been fun
There seems to be a genuine lack of activity on the Sprint version of the Tab. Hopefully this will allow folks to start making themes and ROM's for the Sprint flavor of the tablet.
This package was created via the "Rotobackup" Method pioneered by Rotohammer and maniac3389.
As far as I can tell, I'm the only one who has done this on the Sprint-flavor of the Tab, so this is all beta and VERY RISKY. I do not recommend using this unless you are VERY familiar with flashing Android devices.
NOTE: This is ALMOST STOCK. The Rotobackup process did not dump the modem.bin file properly. To address this, I used the modem from the Epic 4G (SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL). This modem effectively disables GPS. There is no known fix yet.
Updates:
12/13/2010 - Looks like the package borks GPS. You cannot acquire satellites after flashing.
12/29/2010 - GPS is still broke if you use the package containing the modem. Looks like we will need to wait until an update is released. Feel free to keep troubleshooting the issue, I'll update the OP if somebody figures it out.
12/29/2010 - Uploaded package WITHOUT the modem
12/29/2010 - Introduced Zypher, a fully deodexed updater.
WARNING!!! YOU CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE VERY EASILY.
THESE ARE FOR SPRINT VERSIONS OF THE TAB.
Instructions:
Backup your settings with Titanium Backup
Do a factory reset: Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Turn on USB debugging: Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging
Extract the RAR archive
Open "Odin3 v1.31.exe"
Reboot into Download Mode (adb reboot download)
Do not check Re-Partition option
Click PIT, select pit.pit
Click PDA, Select .tar file
Click Start
Downloads
Download 1 - Stock, no modem - Sprint Only! Use this if you want to get back to stock (rooted). ALL USERS SHOULD TRY THIS PACKAGE FIRST! If you still have problems, then you need to use the modem package which kills GPS (Download 2).
Download 2 - Stock, with modem - Sprint Only! Includes modem from Epic 4G - Only use if your Tab will not boot, this package will kill GPS
THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE STOCK MODEM BACK AFTER YOU FLASH!!
Download Zypher v1 - Sprint Only! Deodexed\zipaligned. I recommend running a factory reset before applying the package. Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Zypher Details:
Based off DJ30
Deodexed and zip aligned
Removed startup/shutdown sounds
Added Busybox installer
Added Titanium Backup
Added Z4Root
Added AD-Free hosts file
To do list:
Work in the full screen fix (via Spareparts)
Replace launcher with LauncherPro
Theme everything

Nice work, not that Sprint would allow it, but did this enable dialer functions since it is using an alternate modem file?

Awesome, thanks!
Now who's got a busted Tab to try this on!
Not sure if this is any help, but here's a system dump someone posted....
http://forum.androidcentral.com/galaxy-tab/44323-us-galaxy-tab-sprint-system-dump.html

Dunno. There is no dialer installed and it gives the standard engrish statement "Cannot make or take a call using Galaxy Tab"

I did some comparisons between the sprint tab and the epic, and the modems are identical. I just flashed this and it worked flawlessly.
Thanks again man I appreciate it. You have ressurected my tab.

Wow, maybe I can finally root

Excellent, glad it worked for you.

Nevermind.

I am going to try this now... I had terminal emulator crash on me and it messed up the filesystem or something. My Sprint Galaxy Tablet just says "Samsung" and glows after the intro animation.
I did manage to get the tablet into downloading mode by:
1) turning tablet off
2) holding Volume UP key and power key at the same time until it turns on
and I get little android man with a shovel that says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"
wish me luck

Why dont you just wipe it and see if that works first?

how would I do that? It won't actually boot up.. Just shows the samsung into screen and says on a screen that has samsung glowing. It will blink after a while and vibrate, then go back to glowing at me.

HOLY CRAP that worked!!!!! I was just about to give up! Notice the many hours between my last post and now.. (6:50am now LOL)
I had to do some other things not outlined in this thread to get my computer to see the Galaxy Tablet in the Device Manager. Basically I tried these things, (try them all if you have trouble, I'm not sure what or which actually worked):
tried to wipe from boot up (turn off, hold volume up and power until it turns on and release buttons)
that didn't work
install Kies and Samsung(android) SDK and JDK (java developer kit)
that didn't seem to work
install Samsung PC Studio 7
ah hah! I see you there in the device manager now!
power tablet off and get to download menu (hold volume down and power until you see the android holding a shovel at the download menu)
Load up Odin, YAY It connects and detects the COM!!
Select the PIT and TAR, start, it downloads and reboots and tab loaded right up!!
Best of all I think it also got rid of the Sprint Activation nag notice screen. It hasn't popped up yet and it has been a good 10 min or so! That would be a nice bonus
You saved me so much time and $$ thanks a TON!!
((side note, Odin loads up and displays GT-1000 not my SPH-P100... I edited my odin.ini to reflect the correct model. not a big deal at all, but I was getting confused at first as to why Odin was saying wrong model, thinking it was doing a detection when it was really just blindly echoing info from the ini file))

Good stuff.
You'd think Sprint would want to leak the firmware to keep people from exchanging/RMA'ing devices. One thing is certain with Android, people will hack the hell out of it.
My bad on the label. The top title in Odin is just that, a title. It doesn't doesn't affect the reload process at all. I'd change it, but uploading another 200MB file isn't on my list of activities today

I want to add that you might need to update your profile after running this.

What do you mean?

THANK YOU!
Same thing happened to me this morning as ManaKill described...I had terminal emulator crash on me and it messed up the filesystem or something. My Sprint Galaxy Tablet endlessly glowed "Samsung" after the intro animation - thought I was DONE. Tried wiping but no go. I followed ZoinksS2K directions and it worked flawlessly just as infamousjax described. Thank you!!! No telling how many Tabs have been ressurected thanks to this post.

Have you guys been able to get a gps lock since doing this? I can't get one worth ****.

Congratulations & ty...a step in the right direction.i will help once I can make a proper nandroid.

I am rooted and have twrp, and the android market installed. I would like to go back to bone stock.
I can just reset the KF under device right? How do I uninstall twrp?
Thanks

No thats incorrect you dont just reset the device you must wipe well and flash stock I must tell you numerous people are bricking themselves fairly bad attempting to do the same personally I would avoid it just flash modaco instead other than that the method to return to stock is in the second post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452

And actually it might even be a safer approach to revert to stock from a stock like rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916

Even if you want to go back to pure stock, keeping/reinstalling both TWRP and FFF are the safest and smartest things to do.

The only mention of ADB is "adb push C:\kfu\software\update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin /sdcard/update.zip", which you can easily avoid if you don't want to touch ADB.
Just rename your downloaded file to update.zip (watch out for the file extension, Windows hides most of them on default settings), then just copy it into your KF like you do any other file. Do not place it in any subfolder.
Be sure to follow the steps carefully, or else you may end up with a soft brick (fixable).

I have the same problem, but my battery was 100% when flashing back. Is this good night for the kindle then?
It boots in to the 6.2.2 software, but these errors pop up and force close then eventually does a restart. Dammit!

No, that's not all you should do to get back to stock... follow ALL the STEPS. Wiping is VERY important. Ie, don't just rename the file to update.zip and flash it right away, or you'll most likely end up with a soft brick. I was only clarifying that one specific step.

Just a side note after restoring to stock you need to then perform a factory restore as well which will wipe your sd card if all goes well it should smooth out from there

Anyone know how to check to see if windows adds .zip? Like how do I check the default settings for file extensions. Also do I need to unroot before I flash back to stock? or will flashing take care of that for me?

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/show-or-hide-file-name-extensions That applies for Vista/7. XP is almost the same.
Flashing back to stock will undo anything you've ever done or had on the device, except for the contents of /sdcard (the stuff you've copied to it from the computer).

[Q] Boot hang after flashing using Odin back to stock rooted

Hello all,
I am facing problems with my SIII right now. I was running AOKP but due to the bluetooth not being able to sync with my stereo, I decided to go back to stock rooted. I just flashed back the stock rooted image using Odin, but now my phone sits at the Samsung screen with the blue notification light on. I have tried rebooting, and it gets to this point (after the rethink possible screen) and just sits. I am thinking another flash in Odin is in order? Is there a stock, non root image I can flash via odin? I am just really lost for ideas right now and any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
Update:
I tried flashing with odin again and this time I got a failed. It was in the process of flashing the "system". I am kinda starting to freak out. I am hoping that it's just the file I'm using (though it just worked not even a few days ago.) I am trying again and if this one bombs out, I think I am going to try a different file. The one I am downloading to try next is the "stock unroot" from the how-to video. Anyone have any luck with this?
Another Update:
I just re-flashed with odin, this time it says it successfully completed but once again it's stuck at the flashing Samsung logo with the indicator led on.... I am starting to really freak out lol. I have another file downloading that is supposedly just stock, no root or anything...

I've always noticed the LED being on during boot (or some of the boot) and it was also on when I had a bootloop during cm9 so I don't think it means anything.

Fair enough, I guess I never paid that much attention till now when things don't work heh. I do recall reading about someone else having the similar issue using odin...I am trying to find the post and if there was any follow up on it.

Correction : Used that link you had posted, it was still stuck so I loaded up the toolkit and used option 20 for reboot options to force it into default recovery, wiped data & cache from there and let it reboot, it seemed to have hung but waited a few minutes and it came back to life. Back to complete stock here now, hope it works for you.

When you say toolkit are you talking about the one from the thread labled [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 QCOM TOOLKIT V2.3] Drivers Backup Root CWM BusyBox + MORE [ATT]? And if so you just opened it and used option 20? nothing else? This sounds great if it works hehe.

Should have explained a bit better. Yes that toolkit
While it was stuck at samsung screen.
1 For AT&T (Obviously)
20 For reboot options
1 For recovery.
Then wipe data/cache
Then wiped cache (no idea why)
then rebooted.

When i did an Odin to stock I also froze on the Samsung logo. I had to boot to recovery and do a factory reset I side recovery to get it to boot. Keep in mind everything will be deleted though

That is exelent. I am downloading the toolkit right now and will report back shortly.
Once you got it to boot, did you still have root? I am wondering if you flashing the "stock rom" that I posted, if that had any impact. I have only pushed the root66 file, so I am expecting root when(if XD) I get this thing going again. I appreciate you being more thorough with your instructions, and will report back with my results as soon as I get some
Also, are we loners on this? I am not seeing any other posts about going back to stock/stock rooted from modded roms using odin? I am trying to figure out the best method to go back to stock. I made a nandroid and I am sure that would work, but all of this word about having to flash different kernels and bluetooth/wifi drivers to get stock working properly makes me wonder if just using odin is the easiest method, as it restores everything on the phone (to my knowledge).

That is great, this may sound a little silly, but how do I boot to recovery? Thanks!
UPDATE:Nvm, google hehe. I just did the factory reset...Things are looking good so far, the haptic lights turned on at least...BOOM! We are good gentlemen. It looks like all it took was the recovery wipe. This is great news! I will try to figure out how to mark this as solved, and you crash822, you get a thanks

NP sir. We all have to start somewhere. Luckily for me I was already planning on doing a full wipe so I backed up everything I wanted to keep from my phone onto my computer before using odin.

I seem to be having the same issue. I've downloaded the toolkit as you guys have suggested. are you guys in download mode on the phone while you use this? it seems to want me to be in debugging mode and i can't get to that. I've tried a factory reset with no luck.

[TOOL] Revert To Stock ICS for the VZW Galaxy Nexus

[TOOL] Revert To Stock ICS for the VZW Galaxy Nexus
OVERVIEW
I have created an all-in-one script that will revert your Verizon Galaxy Nexus to stock ICS (Build IMM76K). I have found some of the 'toolkits' to be awesome resources, but a bit flaky when trying to return to stock. This tool is a self-contained EXE and can be run offline as it does not need the internet during the process to download any supplemental files.
!WARNING!
This process WILL WIPE ALL DATA on your phone! You must manually backup all user data, documents and media before performing this process. I take no responsibility for any loss of data to your phone. This script is clean and has been tested, but as with all online guides, this is done at your own risk. Make sure your phone has at least 75% battery before continuing.
WHAT THIS WILL DO
Reset radio, bootloader, and software to factory versions. Unroot your phone. Remove all settings and accounts. Delete all data/apps and replace system apps with old original ones.
WHAT THIS WILL NOT DO
Relock your bootloader or make you coffee.
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Make sure your phone is UNPLUGGED from your computer, then download and install the Samsung Galaxy Nexus drivers (VZW)
STEP 2: Download/extract my Revert To Stock Tool for the VZW Galaxy Nexus
STEP 3: Power off your phone, then boot into 'Fastboot mode' by holding down both volume buttons and then the power button until you see the screen with the green "Start" arrow (shown below).
NOTE: If your phone boots up normally into your Android OS, then you did not press the buttons correctly. Power off your phone again, and repeat the process until you see the correct screen.
STEP 4: Plug your phone into your computer and let Windows install any necessary device drivers that it detects.
STEP 5: Once it is finished, run the tool (filename: VZW-GNex-RevertToStock.exe), and follow the on-screen prompts to revert your phone to stock ICS (Build IMM76K)
CONCLUSION
Let me know if you have any questions or run into any hiccups along the way. I am always willing to modify the script or the guide to make it more user-friendly.
NOTE: If you receive any virus alert notifications when extracting or running my tool, then know that they are false positives. My executable is clean.

Hi. I hope this doesn't sound too noobish. I just rooted for the first time the other day using the GNex Tookit Ver. 7.8. to the AOKP JB Rom. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
Basically I need to go back to stock. It was a CLNR phone and thought it was running great for a day until I started noticing a bunch of dead pixels. So I need it back to Stock.
Is it really as simple as running your tool? Also, will it revert back to the original googe apps? b/c im having some issues with apps now on this rom?
1 last question, I understand it'll go back to stock does that mean I lose root and the bootloader becomes unlocked?
Thanks well in advance!

Yes, this will take you back to the original ROM which includes the original Google Apps (Gapps). Yes, you will LOSE root, but this will NOT re-lock your bootloader. Very good questions - I have updated some of the verbiage in the original post to clarify these points.

If you wanted to lock the bootloader, just boot into the bootloader and run fastboot oem lock. Don't rely on toolkits.

Hopefully this is the last question. When I unlocked/rooted I was on build IMM76Q. Would that affect returning to stock?

No oops, but it is like walking into an Obama rally and shouting how great Romney is (or vice versa).

Good thing this isn't a ToolKIT then, just a tool
Not sure why someone arbitrarily rated this thread with "1" star. Kinda uncool, since this will help people.

not working
It keeps saying echo off, plug in your device. I installed the drivers and still nothing,.

Try a different port, or a different computer. Or spin up a VM if you've got one.

Not restarting
Hi! I found this thread linked in the GNex Toolkit 7.8 thread when I was looking for a solution because it failed to flash the stock image & unroot. I followed all the instructions, and pressed enter after fastboot restarted twice, and got to where it says "Flashing stock rom/system". I have now waited 20mins (the tool estimates 5mins), and my phone isn't restarting out of fastboot mode. It has a blue highlighted line on the bottom that says "Fastboot Status - Okay1515.FA02".
Should I keep waiting? re-run the tool? just try restarting my phone manually?
Please help!
Thanks!
Oh! Was running LiquidSmooth 1.5MR1 prior to starting this...no idea if that would still be working or not if I restart now...
EDIT: I got brave - restarting from fastboot manually just restarted Liquid, so it didn't rewrite the system. Some more searching, and I found a different dl link to try for the system image, put it in the right folder, and the GNex Toolkit worked like it was supposed to. I have to say, though, this tool is much less intimidating haha! Thanks!

So, I am in quite the predicament:
First of all, my phone stopped fully booting into the OS. I can get into fastboot and recovery but when I reboot the system it gets to the android screen and then goes black. Second of all, my usb port is broken.
I am pretty sure that there is nothing to be done, but if anyone has any suggestions that would be AMAZING!

Try a different USB cable and a different USB port. It takes a lot to break those ports on your phone, you may just have a bad cable.

I thought that too. I tried 3 computers and 6 cables: nothing worked. It hasn't been able to connect to a computer for a month now and it stopped charging 2 weeks ago. I have looked at replacing the port with a new mic/usb module but the phone still won't boot so it wouldn't really be worth it.

i just did this and it saved my phone!!!! thank you so much

I wish it were easier to find this thread!
You saved my phone after I stupidly pulled the battery during the root process from the toolkit and got stuck in a reboot loop with the Google logo showing and the little unlock icon.

[Official] ICS rom for captivate glide release Sep 7

Hey guys the official rom is out
http://blogs.att.net/consumerblog/story/a7783602
you have to update your device over kies.
Cheers

Got the message just now
" AT&T Free Msg: Samsung Captivate Glide upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is now available! The OS update supports enhanced performance, user interface and other device improvements. Open the link from your PC (not your phone), and follow the instructions: www.samsung.com/us/attcaptivateglide/update "

page was working about an hour and now page not found. Maybe they pulled the update? I haven't tried it yet because of the keyboard backlight issue from other posts...and I have no desire to do any rooting/CWM stuff.

Page worked for me just now. It basically just says download kies and let it upgrade.
Does the official rom have the same version number as the leaked one?

strange now the page works again...has anyone applied the official ICS with AT&T yet? wondering if the backlight issue is resolved.

There are no bugs, samsung has fixed it all

Does the official version have CarrierIQ?

Nevermind.

Oh? That's not what others have reported - the keyboard backlight is supposedly still broken, unsure about tethering or the other problems.

No backlight on my wife's Glide... She's pissed...

Then root and install the zip

I actually passed on this phone because I was worried it might not get ICS. I'm glad it did all the same. I miss having a hard keyboard.

thanks for the save!!!! I was downloading the update when I saw your post. my wife would have been VERY upset as well. good luck.
I don't want to mess with rooting, CWM and all that stuff on the wife's phone just to get back a basic function. Doing all of those things to get new functions...maybe.

Really, it's super-easy to install the backlight fix, and you don't even have to root or muck around all that much. You flash CWM in odin, which takes about 30 seconds, and then boot into CWM and flash a single zip file, which should take at most a minute including the reboot time. Tada, keyboard light is fixed.

That requires root access and messing with stock recovery right? Although it can be done quickly, it could mess up any future official ICS update...you know, an official build that has the backlight fix + other fixes. I'd rather not deal with unrooting, getting stock recovery back on, and still have a risk of a soft brick....all for a backlight fix. For my scenario ICS can wait or never be applied on the glide. My wife doesn't care .

It actually doesn't require root access, just a custom recovery, which is flashed from the PC. You can then replace it with a stock recovery, if you prefer.

I made a walkthrough for the entire leak here, but I'll snip it down and just assume you're running some form of ICS now that's completely stock:
bakageta said:
To fix the keyboard backlight bug, you'll need the following:
Odin 1.85
Clockworkmod Recovery
The Keyboard Backlight fix The one labeled LH2 is for the official, the one labeled CWM is for the leak. If you're not sure what you're on, go to About Phone, and check the Baseband Version, if it ends in LH2 you're on the official, if it ends in LG9 it's the leak.
Optionally, SuperUser 3.2 RC3 if you'd like root.
First, make sure you have Kies installed, so that you have the correct USB drivers. Download the 4.0.4 .exe file from here. Power off your phone, hold Volume Up and Power to turn it back on. Keep holding them until you get a screen warning you about custom software, and release, then press volume up again to enter download mode. Hook the phone up to your pc and run Odin 1.85. Uncheck "F. Reset Time" and make sure that the only box checked is Auto Reboot, you shouldn't need to change anything else. Click on the PDA button, and load the clockworkmod .md5 file you downloaded, then press the start button and wait for the device to reboot.
This time you'll reboot into recovery. Power the phone off, hold the volume down and power button to turn the phone one. Keep holding them until you see text about entering recovery in the top left, and release. Use the volume keys to navigate and power to select, and go to Install zip from sdcard. Select the keyboard backlight fix zip. Once that's finished, if you'd like to be rooted, repeat the process to flash a zip, and this time select Choose zip from sdcard, selecting the superuser zip you downloaded earlier. Select Yes, and wait for superuser to flash. If you plan on keeping Clockwork Mod Recovery, you should make a backup now. To do so, select Backup and restore, and backup. This will take a bit, just be patient. When you're finished, select reboot system now, and you should be set.
From here, if you rooted you can install something like Titanium Backup, which will use root access to let you remove the various AT&T bloatware.

Yeah backlight isn't working sorry, someone on a blog had said so. Very unprofessional of samsung. A rom cooked with cm9 willl have to include the backlight fix

:good:
Cool, thanks for the info. Good to know root is not required. I'll still hold off on the update but I'm sure others will apply ICS+backlight fix.

I updated last night, and I can report that after ending any call the phone app reports a hard stop rather than just going away, and that resets your cell connection. And I imagine the keyboard backlight will be fixed very soon. But did these issues exist on the leaked rom in its first release and then programmers modified to get them back?
