Does ANYONE know of a fix for this yet????

I have a new streak on the 6601 build and am following the steps to move to 4399, 8105, and hopefully get to here. However, i have hit a major roadblock. When I try to flash to 4399 everything goes smoothly until the progress bar gets half way and then tells me my "Software is up to date: Rebooting in 30 seconds"
I am not new to flashing and was putting a new rom on the captivate every other day, so I'd like to think I'm good at following directions and reading the forums for help. I have found several other threads from the past months with the same problem, but no one ever posted a fix!!! I've tried every combo I can thing of, flashed different recovery's, tried skipping 4399 all together, tried using clockwork and changed the .pkg to a zip file. I've never had such a hard time getting past one thing while flashing. I'm hoping I'm just missing something really obvious and it's an easy fix, but can someone please help me!! I have read and re-read the directions and can't find anything I am missing

have you tried the official 2.2 romfiles at modaco ? flash from a pc .

Yeah I was going to but several posts say they are stuck at dell logo when trying to go straight to 2.2 from 1.6. I appreciate the idea though! I still may try it in a bit. Any other thoughts?

you also need a modified loader (like clockwork) and root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598 to be able to flash rom files

Touchwiz Update bricked my non-rooted Tab (static lines across screen)!

I decided to go ahead with the TW firmware upgrade. Everything seemed to be going fine until I tried to install it and it told me there was an error and I needed to hook it up to Kies first. I had already been using Kies with it on my Macbook for a couple weeks now so I went ahead and plugged it in. Kies recognized it as usual and all the information came up.
So I went on and tried to install again and it said it needed to reboot.
It reboots and comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen like normal (right before it starts the galaxy animation). Next thing I know it comes to a screen that looks like the attached images! I immediately unplugged it from Kies and shut it down. Every time I start it back up it does the same thing. I honestly have NO idea what to do. I can't even return it as it's past the 14 day period and I (stupidly) didn't buy Staples' bogus $160 insurance.
I was not rooted before. This was a stock tab that I bought at staples. It had the firmware 4.24 when I bought it, I think.
Please, any help is appreciated. I tried doing firmware recovery in Kies but the pop up comes up in Korean and I have no idea what it says...
Edit: More info. I'm not the only one with this problem. Two other people have posted on AndroidPolice about this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-touchwiz-ux-update-is-now-live/
The software is definitely running underneath all that mess but it's literally impossible to see what is going or to touch anything.

I guess this thread is about the same issue

Thanks, I'm checking the thread out now. I probably should have searched more than just Google before posting but I freaked out when it happened.

No need to freak out . we have xda and dev to solve all our problems

i have exactly the same problem as you... what should i do now?

I get the same screen but after rebooting! pfft it's making me really sad :\

I'm sorry but I tried reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 and couldnt understanding what should I do!

So I need to follow all the steps for rooting except the last one which is the actual rooting? Great thanx! Do I need to use Kies? My current computer is Mac but I guess I need to download those things to a Windows machine to make it work, right?
Thank you very much

I had the same problem. I upgraded the update on my non-rooted tablet and got the funked up video mess. Per instructions from Samsung support, I hard booted to the recovery menu (power+vol down, then power up, down on download screen) and did the factory wipe. After that I ended up with the black screen. I could tell things were working in the back but couldnt see a thing. I figured I would throw it on the Kies and it saw that there was a factory upgrade so I let the Kies run through it and it works fine now.
Dont know if this will help w/other but it worked for me.

Flashing back to complete stock?

Hey guys... So I'm enjoying my DHD, It was on the 3 U.K network, unlocked it, rooted t, running leeedroid atm, however, if I ever need to get it back to a stock rom in case I wanna take it back, how do I go about it?
Remember it was originally on 3 U.K.
Thanks

There's threads all over the dev section, go have a look at them.
I think most people who have sent them back with custom ROMs on there have just been flashed back to stock anyway, so they don't seem to mind that much, but just in case.
As far as I'm aware though it's as simple as downloading a piece of software called a RUU for your phone, which in your case is 3, running it with the phone plugged in and then laughing at how easy it is =)
OR
Putting the img on the root of your SD card, going into bootloader (volume down and power on, then bootloader) and it automatically finding it, installing it and then reboot.
But I'd suggest reading a few of the threads about it and using the search button because as with all these things, there's always a risk it'll brick
After a quick search this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267345&highlight=ruu has a link to the ruu you might want, then just ota update it.

Brilliant. Sounds good enough.
Also, how can I change the splash screen of the phone? Hate the "3" Logo coming up when I restart the phone.

Good good. Like I said though, most people seem to just send it back and they'll do it for you
I'm not positive you can, I've never seen any thread saying how to get rid of it. You can have a nice boot animation though from uot (google "uot kitchen")

Here is a link on changing the bootsplash. Its fairly easy to make one yourself, or you can ask one to be made for you. Their are quite a few posted you might find one you like

Help! Really need to go back to stock firmware before tomorrow morning, I'm on 3 U.K and need the right RUU!

help for a dell noob

hello everyone, i just got an unlock streak to use with t-mobile. im the second owner but the other guy said he just received it as a replacement from dell. this are the specs
baseband:GAUSB1A140514-US
build number:2.2
my problem:the phone is unlock so when i put my sim and boot i get the led flash 3 times and then goes on a boot loop. and it will keep doing it unless i take out my sim. i manage to get it to somewhat work by booting w/o sim, then put phone on airplane mode then off. place sim and boot. then i take it off plane mode and quickly turn of data. then wait for it to recognize tmobile towers, then turn on data and it works for a few mins then goes on a boot loop again. has anyone had this issue?
my second problem is i try to flash several GB base roms and it flashes but i get a lot of FC and cant run the rom. I currently have (miui 2.3.2 ENG DS5 ) and it runs fine w/o my sim. as soon as i put my sim its back to the boot loop.
btw i am not a noob to android, but am a noob to the dell streak. any help,tips,comments is appreciated thanks.

You need to flash gingerbread baseband files which are amss.mbn and dsp1.mbn through fastboot.
If you are not new to Android I'm assuming you have fastboot and adb drivers setup on your computer and/or the androidsdk installed to the C: drive and paths set to make command line flashing easy... if not then now would be the time to get all that done, if not then you will be back every other day asking for help and getting flamed..
on a side note, had you bothered to read QUITE A BIT MORE the answers I just gave you are provided in the stickies, not even much need to search really, so please don't be one of those newbies that starts a new thread or posts each time your Streak hiccups, ALL the info you need has already been gone over more times that I care to remember

Your baseband indicates the Streak at one point was running 405, the beta Gingerbread build. It's no wonder you're having problems given you're attempting to run Froyo with a beta Gingerbread baseband.
Where this Streak is used, it's best to flash a stock ROM first to ensure the Streak works properly. 407 would be perfect for this as it's the stock Gingerbread build but you could also use one of the stock Froyo ROMs as well. After flashing the stock ROM and making sure everything is working, then go to your chosen ROM, using the information in the stickies.

thanks for the reply, so then what you are saying is that the phone was on GB at one point? man, i knew this guy tryed to flash a dif rom before he sold it. He told me he just got it replace by Dell and decided he didn't want it. i fixed my second problem but im still having the issue with the phone rebooting when data is turned on and then freezes at boot screen.

thanks for the reply
correct i do have drivers and adb in my PC and this is not my first time using adb commands. and yes i did bother reading many threads and using the search tool and found lots of great info but nothing pin pointing to the same problem im having with the phone not liking it when i turn my data on.
Btw i figure out why non of the GB roms were working, when i was doing the factory reset i was only doing it through streakmod recovery. but when i FR on the previous menu it worked.

i also made the diagnostic test through fastboot menu to test the sim and every thing else and everything is fine

Sorry for the late reply. I believe your data issues will resolve themselves by installing 407. From there you can install one of the custom ROMs.

hmm ok ill try that

[Q] Tmous Defy Green Lens - No stock recovery

I'm usually very resourceful; search, read, and try to resolve my own issues with the many threads online and here on xda but I am at a complete loss at this point and hope one of you can give me some guidance.
I have a Tmobile US Defy. Green Lens. I was able to root and install cwm. It was on Android 2.2.1.
I wanted to make sure everything was ok prior to beginning to flash anything so i downloaded JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
This obviously reverted my Android to 2.1 but upon completely booting it begins to slow to a freeze on my homescreen within a minute or two.Completely freezes. It did not prompt me to enter Blur account and if there isn't a SIM in, it will not allow me to interact with the phone beyond emergency calling. I can't update through OTA since it just locks up.
Thought I'd try to wipe/reset. I'm able to get to the android guy with the exclamation point but pressing vol up/down does not get me into recovery. I've tried many button variations as well.
I'm not sure what I need to do at this point anymore. I can enter bootloader (v9.10) still and use RSD but I'm afraid to flash non US sbf files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this has already been covered. I've been searching and reading for the last 6 hours and have no idea what to do next.

If you under 2.1 and you are on the screen with the android guy have you touched the screen above the magnifier.

Much Appreciated

I did not do that. Thank you! Sorry for such a ridiculous/pointless [Q]. I spent hours reading and never ran across such a simple solution. Everything was smooth sailing after that simple suggestion on your part; tried out a few different ROMs here and there already. Thank you again!
