Saw under the Asia Firmware 'P1000DXJM4 ## ODIN 1.7 | P1.PIT | Version 2.2 | 2010 December' is available and to be cautious, i seek seniors' opinion before i go ahead and flash mine ^^
Any recommendation on how to proceed is appreciated, esp with ODIN (dont know what it is even read so much about this word)!
I already backup with TB

edit update after flashed JME instead of JM4 (long story short):
"i will write down the event by event of recovery as reference:
1. flash the JVJL1 (no problem on reboot) by mistake then flash JM4 (missing dbdata.rfs) tar file downloaded from samfirmware.com and failed to reboot due to the missing file.
2. did some silly step and resulted in (phone .. ! .. pc) icon
3. run odin 1.7 and plug the usb and odin show is connected with tab
4. flash JM4 (yes with missing dbdata.rfs) and able to bring the tab back to download mode but unable to reboot into tab
5. flash Roto's dbdata.rfs file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...91&postcount=1) and able to reboot right after but missing pda & csc info (*#1234#)
6. tried the hard reset (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=106) but no help
7. download Roto's pre-rooted JME 3 files as mentioned (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827) and finally boot the tab with full *#1234# details.
* So if you see the (phone .. ! .. pc) icon dont panic. like KChauJen said, able to solve with enough reading. i listed my route to recovery as reference to give you positive hope to retry.
TB's backup in Internal SD and before flashing JME, i copied the TB folder to my hdd during the missing pda & csc boot and did a backup on JME reboot, copy paste back to TB folder under internal sd and the restore work flawlessly."
cant be updated? er, i was from jk2 to jm4. did you applied oclf? if you did, try undo it b4 anything.
Hi fastcx, thanks for replying and sharing your experience. I did some further reading in some singapore forum saying have to run the kies patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628) and spoof firmware version in order to update. i have yet to try due to somewhere in the same forum also said that once updated:
1. cant go back version
2. z4root wont work (which i am already using)
may i know have you rooted your SGT? need more solid info before taking the route to update the firmware as already using SGT as my primary device. I havent OCLF yet
rooted, since day 1, after every update (jj1>jj2>jk2) able to root with z4root till jm4 which requires SOC(SuperOneClick). To use kies, switch back to samsung default launcher b4 u connect using kies. I do not have any issue there. Another note is that after root, i always go back to /system/app to check n remove any apps that I do not need using adb shell.
The interface changed, to darker color, dlna client really working now, oclf performance improvement might not be obvious this time around. I suspect they really optimized it, everything is more stable now. Over protective I would say, cause any previous flashlight apps isnt going to sustain the led light for over 2sec. Default browser is a wee bit smoother now.
SuperOneClick is very easy to use anyway, so give it a try, oclf is useful only when u have over 400mb apps + loads of sms & contacts..anything related to I/O will have improvement.
The worse case scenario is just if kies still do not allow u to update, just use odin..what did you do previously? How do you update previously?

Yeah... I'm in your case.
Thinking does it would be updated or not???
1. cant go back version
2. z4root wont work (which i am already using)

Just look at inside of tar file, and according to the Chainfire's Warning, the three files:
* boot.bin
* Sbl.bin
* zImage > 7,000K
So, this firmware would be has the protected boot loader. It would give us a lot of trouble in the future of updating and downgrading.
I think, this firmware can be updated with the help from Roto, eliminate the three files above and just take the PDA part.
I was using CSC: XEV (Vietnam) then to SIN (Singtel) and feel good and when Nov'10 update came, updated via Kies wihtout any trouble. When Dec'10 update came, tried with SIN resulted unable to update, switch back to XEV also resulted unable to update. I havent try XSO which the singapore forum stated successful for those with that CSC.
So i have to try to switch to XSO and report in later. be it protected boot loader or not, as long as we want stable and more 'juice' to service our daily SGT needs, no choice but to follow. I do believe as days goes, seniors like Roto alike will crack the nut for us to appreciate further.
on other note, my default email (not gmail) app seem got problem whenever you click reply or forward any email will result in force close. do not know if this bug related to after i switch from SIN to XEV (to try update) then switch back to SIN and follow up by restore using TB.
anyone has similar force close on the default email app?
backing up with TB now should we (those yet to update jm4) wait for Roto to do his magic for this update?
edit: tried with XSO and also unable to update... that really puzzle me.
edit 2: unroot with z4root and try still unable to update... now looking at ODIN route
perhaps odin route is the best solution for your case, but from jk2 > jm4 not sure if pit file is needed? repartitioning needs it tho, perhaps its good that u do back up of everything, let us know ur flashing result. Odin will definitely able to do the job
oh no... T_T somehow i downloaded P1000JVJL1 (Arabic) by mistake and Odin 1.7 with Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time, selecting the mistaken Arabic firmware (PDA) and flash it without any problem (JVJL1 / JXJK3 / JVJK4) and able to reboot itself.
After notice the wrong firmware, downloaded the right one (P1000DXJM4) from samfirmware.com and using Odin 1.7. Repeating the above steps but the phone briefly flash and came back the 'download mode' and nothing happened although Odin stated passed without any error.
I able to hold the power to shutoff and turn on again and the screen shows the samsung logo screen and stay flashing the word 'samsung' with 1 then 2 quick vibrate (like force close) and didnt boot into the main screen!
what should i do next?? is it bricked?? T_T
edit: the downloaded filename is 'P1000DXJM4_P1000DXJM2_P1000OLBJM1_HOME.tar' and anyone know if correct one?
edit 2: now i am downloading DXJK2 and see if i am able to revert the flash of JM4 T_T
edit 3: is over T_T saw the (phone .. ! .. pc icon)
This is due to dbdata.rfs missing. Please refer to the guide of flashing JMC/D/E series.
BTW, I have a problem is Camera Faulty error when start the camera app. Somebody mentioned that the LCD density can't set too small, but I have reverted it back to default 240, the problem still there. Any clue about it?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
thanks dahuzi, i wonder if i choose to flash eu rom by Roto, would his rooted bring my tab back to operation? appreciate any help to bring back my tab.
i am able to bring my (phone .. ! .. pc icon) to the download mode. flashing anything before JM4 wont work anymore (fail at odin 1.7 and 1.3) and i am able to go back to hard reset option (holding vol up and power up). now i need to get the TB backup from the int SD before i try anything new. possible to retrieve in download mode?
edit: where to find the dbdata.rfs for this JM4? can anyother dbdata.rfs from other firmware able to fill it in? help ~ T_T
Hi VNPython,
Your case is complecated one, take it easy and read the thread from Chainfire "WARNING! Do not flash ... ", in there, a lot people has solved with different path.
Be patient, Bro. At that moment, your TAB is not Brick yet, but be careful because it's on the way of the End.
Wish you luck.
Take care.
ha.. i hope to win this war ^^ and learning the way of android!!
edit: just a quick question - does TB backup all user and app data in internal SD or External SD? i got bunch of files in my ext SD folder '.android_secure' and inside have files like 'com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.asec' can any senior confirm is a valid TB backup files and can be used to restore my user & app data? many thanks!
TB (TitaniumBackup) file in the internal SD (in my case is the default), please double check.
Please give us your detail of winning as I'm scare of Samsung flash. My history is, 4 years ago, I bricked my Omnia phone Samsung after I flashed the rom from SIN to AUS. And, this's my second device on Samsung but this is Android and I want to learn the new OS.
Take care, Bro.
hey guess what? i managed to get a file for dbdata.rfs from Roto and got the tab back live but missing PDA and CSC field (checking with *#1234#). tried the reset to get the pda and csc back but failed.
learned quite a few things along the way and will update this thread after completing my mission to update my tab to JM4.
windows seem cant extract and tar file for android tar files. i tried to extract jm4 files and add dbdata.rfs into it but when flashing, it fail.
worst come to worst, flash the JVJL1 to get the working tab again
i hope Mr. Roto could let me know what software to install on windows that able to 'untar' and 'tar' properly with android (linux) files. tried 7z and winrar both cant untar without error.
try using winrar to do the add on of dbdata.rfs, anyway, good luck next time, double check what you downloading

sorry for the late update as yesterday too late to post anything after able to get my tab back to life! the learning curve is nice and not stressing since many time i see the icon of (phone .. ! .. pc) yet i am able to bring the download (digging) icon back again always.
i will write down the event by event of recovery as reference:
1. flash the JVJL1 (no problem on reboot) by mistake then flash JM4 (missing dbdata.rfs) tar file downloaded from samfirmware.com and failed to reboot due to the missing file.
2. did some silly step and resulted in (phone .. ! .. pc) icon

TB's backup in Internal SD and before flashing JME, i copied the TB folder to my hdd during the missing pda & csc boot and did a backup on JME reboot, copy paste back to TB folder under internal sd and the restore work flawlessly.
after 1 days usage, the trouble found is email app still being force close whenever you reply or forward any email. any senior have similar force close on original email app?

My bad. How polite of you.
Back to topic, VNPython everything there is a first time it's good info here. Perhaps you can edit your 1st post with info from your last post?
EDIT: 1 thing though, do you have any issue regarding using samsung apps?
samsung app can use, checked my CSC and its KOR. Apps: Vlingo words to action, Vietnamese Dictionary application & blinkx Beat. didnt try any of them. just *#272*IMEI# and there's no SIN or XEV or XSO or Asian Sales Code in the Roto JME (EU) multiCSC. maybe will try to download multicsc with asian sale code.
* on the email app force close, i delete the email account and re-setup them, and the force close is gone. could be due to TB's restore? anyway, is solved ^^
I wonder will i be able to flash DXJM4 if there is a full tar file?

Please consider it carefully, Bro.
What I looked inside of the tar file, and according to Chainfire's Warning, it has the protected boot.
If we can eleminate the three files:
* Boot.bin
* Spl.bin
* zImage
and put back to the tar file with the encrypted code by Samsung (maybe we can ask Roto) then we can flash this modified firmware JM4.
FYI.
Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can simplify what it is I need to do to get sky go working on my desire.
I've have been reading through the sky go thread and spreadsheet etc but I'm still not clear if it is at is possible to get this app working on my current configuration. I have worked out that I need version 1.5 of gumbalds apk and voodoo ota to hide root but I'm not clear on the kernal bit (if/what I need to do). Hopefully somebody can simplify the steps needed?
My current set up is
Software : Cool Droid v3 gsm
Android version: 2.3.4
Kernal: 2.6.35.14-gingercakes-0.9-avs
Many thanks
ok thanks for your help everybody. Here is what I did to get skygo working on my desire. I think the key is to have a ROM based on an official HTC release and then update the boot.img as per the post at the top of this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...06967&page=174
So the steps I followed:-
1. Make sure my desire is flashed with a Rom based on an official HTC release. I used Cool Droid v3 gsm but it should work with others
2. I then made a nandroid backup of my Rom
3. As per the above link I then downloaded, installed and research how to use the kitchen app.
4. I then connected my phone to pc and copied my system and boot.img files from my clockworkmod backup folder to the relevant kitchen folder on my pc.
5. Using the kitchen app I then made a working copy of my Rom.(this took a while to process) 6. Then from the kitchen advanced menu I unpacked my boot.img this then create a new temporaryfolder on my pc with all the files
7. In Windows explorer I then found the default.prop file and opened it in notepad
8. I updated a line in this file from ro.secure=0 to ro.secure=1 and saved.
9. I went back into the kitchen app and repacked my boot image.
10. In kitchen I then created a rom from the working folder (im was going to flash the Rom but got inpatient)
11. Using explorer I then located the boot.img and copied just this file back to my clockwork backup folder on my phone
12. I then did a restore from recovery in my phone. I got a warning at this point (something about md5um not matching) and I continued with restore.
13. I then hid root using voodoo ota root keeper and checked skygo and whoop whoop all was good
I'm not sure this will work for everyone but it worked for me and I made sure I created copies of my backup files just in case it didn't work...
If anybody requires any further clarity please shout.
Hello guys,
I have this phone running ZVA, I don't want this phone to be updated to latest KitKat, every time I connect to internet it starts downloading 618 MB KitKat OTA.zip
I tried this 5689#*980# code and under wifi settings I disabled OTA download, but, it still it downloads the file.
I have even tried freezing/renaming some applications through Titanium Backup and Root Explorer, but none of them works, phone just downloads that file.
I have tried zeroing out some partitions but still no luck.
Does anyone know how do I disable downloading this updates and future updates too? I don't want phone to even check for the updates.
Please help!

Try this...Must be rooted ofcourse. Use a file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer or Astro, etc.
Disable OTA Update Notification
Go to /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip
Rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Reboot phone.
HELP - i'm new at this -
I bought a HTC One M8sw off Ebay - it came from China. I can see based on the settings and using Root Checker Basic that it has been rooted and customised and I have SuperSU app showing up. Thus, I have a File manager installed which probably does not come as stock with the mobile? The file manager works fine. Issue is that, when I'm in the stock MAIL app and i try to attach a file by clicking on File or click on Document/PDF or Office Document - I get the following error:
------------------------------
Sorry!
File Browser has stopped unexpectedly
When I go into the error report:
It says the process which name is com.htc.FilePicker
-----------------------------------
I have gone through all the trouble shooting with HTC phone Support including clearing cache and data, rebooting, safe mode for 24 hours, deleting and re-adding email accounts, but still does not work. They have told me now that i need to a factory reset and see if this fixes it ... but i prefer not to do that as I don't want to remove all the amazing customisation which came with the phone as i wouldn't know how to get it back!
Anyone else experience this? Can you please let me know if there's anything i could do to fix this issue without going back to a factory reset? Any further information required?
Note: I'm not a techie ... so have limited to any knowledge on how to root, check root etc.
Well, are you running customized stock or are you on a custom rom?
Go into Settings > About tablet > Build number and post what you got there.
It could be that the former owner only removed the stock HTC file manager app. Do you have it in your app drawer?
Or check in system/priv-app/ and look for the FilePicker.apk.
If it is not there you could just download the stock firmware (whichever version you are on now), extract it and look in system/priv-app for the apk, copy it to the corresponding folder on your phone, set the permissions to read-only and reboot.
This is just a wild guess since I don't know what rom you are running, but it's a place to start...

It's really tough to give you any advice without knowing what modifications have been done to the stock system....
The best way would be to flash back to stock or flash a custom rom and start from there...
But then you would have to do find out which modifications have been done and redo them yourself. Sooner or later you probably have to anyway...
It's been suggested that I just delete the current HTC file browser and install another which may do the trick? Thoughts?
Possibly. I suggested something similar myself in an earlier post.
But a bit of learning will be involved....
The file browser is installed as a system app and you need root priviliges to uninstall it. Do you have root?
If not sure downlad RootChecker from the Play Store and run it.
I suspect to provide the functionality you want, the new file browser also needs to be installed as a system app (apps installed by the user are normally installed to data/app, factory loaded apps are in system/priv-app).
The difference between both is all about permissions which apps need within Android to be able to execute certain functions. User apps are way more restricted in what they are allowed to do and access than system apps.
You can accomplish both by using Titanium Backup (if you have root). It can uninstall system apps and it can covert an app installed by the user to a system app.
So to replace the current file browser you need to:
Get Titanium Backup, grant it root rights (which it will ask for when you launch it).
Backup (just a precaution) then uninstall the current file browser in TiBu
A little detour here:
You could give this a shot: Backup, then uninstall the file browser, reboot, then restore it in Titanuim Backup.
Reboot and check if you can attach files now. This would be an easy solution if the apk currently installed is not corrupted.
If that doesn't work:
Download a custom rom for your current rom version (was it 4.4.2?) that has the HTC file browser. I know that scrosler's roms (stock rooted or CleanROM) have it. Not sure about the many other roms for this phone.
Extract the zip file to it's own folder and drill down through them until you find system/priv-app.
Inside should be a file called FilePicker.apk. I believe that is the HTC file browser.
Copy that apk to your phone
In Settings > Security enable "unknown sources"
Using the phone's file browser find the apk, tap to install it.
Open Titanium Backup and find the newly installed app, convert it to a system app.
Reboot.
That would give you a fesh copy of the stock file browser.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Steep learning to ensure i don't mess this up, but will take my time to make sure i understand everything stated in your explanation and then give it a crack over the wknd and let you know.
