weeping and gnashing of teeth to upgrade for dj30 to ea24

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but I figured I'd post this experience I had trying to upgrade the firmware on my Sprint Galaxy tab so that other might benefit.
Here goes; I got a brand new galaxy tab with the dj30 firmware on it. I rooted it and did the wifi supplicants trip to get adhoc networks going. Nothing too strange. Then the system tried to auto updated itself to ea24 which I let it. But after I checked it it seems that the upgrade couldn't get through. This process would repeat itself on a regular basis.
I didn't think much about it until I heard that netflix could be played on certain android devices and I of course wanted to play it on my tab. I side loaded it, changed the system props and saw that it still couldn't play. My first attempt to load a custom rom(the ginger for gsm failed, yes I know they're incompatible)which bricked the phone. What then followed was an orgy of flashing anything vaguely related to the tab to get it to at least power on. The only thing that would work was the dj30 base image.
Now I'm back to square one except that my navigation system no longer works so I flash modem.bin from ea24 which fixed the gps. My tab tried to auto update itself to ea24 like it usually tries to do but this time SUCCESS!. Then two more ota updates came after that and worked just as well.
I think flashing the modem might have been what got the upgrade process going.
Sorry if this is a little long I just figured it might be useful to anyone in the same situation.

Can you Pls point me in the direction to get thus modem? I too am having this problem. [email protected]. Pls email it to me if you have. THANKS

Hey Cruton. Seems you and I are in the same position. I'm also stuck on DJ30. Managed to upgrade to rooted gingerbread, but market and browser fc no matter what I try. Your suggestion is something I haven't tried yet. Could you elaborate a bit more? I tried flashing modem.bin (from the EA24 updater) but it freezes up. Do I load it under "phone" in odin? Also, which version were you using?

Cruton. Thank you so much for going through the effort of posting your experience. You have saved my tab. I didn't know what to do anymore. Your trick worked, received all updates OTA and then I received gingerbread OTA. Everything stable and running after two weeks of trying absolutely everything (as I was in EXACTLY the same position as you, so you know how frustrating it is). I wish I could buy you a beer man. Thanks again.

I haven't had trouble with the market or the browser. I believe it was version 1.7 of Odin and I put modem.bin into the Phone section. Interestingly I had to repeat this entire process when the gingerbread update was out. I had to try 3 times with flashing modem.bin because it kept freezing up but it went through eventually. Good luck.

Why do you suppose they pulled the OTA?

I don't get it. I know some people aren't happy with the changes in s-notes. But there's a huge difference in usability with and without the OTA. I turned in my 16 GB version that had the OTA, for a 32 GB version. The OTA was pulled, so I ended up going 2 weeks without the OTA. Thanks to XDA I was able to reinstall the OTA. Wow, what a difference. To be honest, the note was not near as good a machine without the o t a. I can see where some of the bad reviews came from... There was quite a bit of stuttering while scrolling in any browser I used. Very annoying bugs with the folders. ExFAT did not work. I had several force closes, something I've never had with the OTA. The Note just runs so much better and smoother with the update... I know jelly bean is coming out soon, but why would samsung pull an OTA that made the note 10.1 so much better?

They were getting a lot of complaints about people losing s pen with the OTA. They probably figured JB was coming soon so why bother and they yanked it.
You can always go into Development and find it if you dont mind being rooted.

what do you mean when you say "people losing s pen?"
Did they take out the S Notes app?
Was the pen not functioning well?

From what I've read on some devices the update made the s pen stop working.

No, the pen would physically fall out of the holder and get lost
J/K, I think it would just stop working. I've not had my Note long enough to experience any issues with it, so I couldn't say for sure

I was under the impression that only rooted or otherwise modded Notes lost s-pen function?

I have downloaded the file and it is a little less than 1 GB. I have unzipped it and it is now almost 1.5 GBs and I have done all this on my Galaxy Note but I can't find any way to get it to run/install. What am I missing here? Thanks.

First, go to the development section and read all the stickys. Twice. Don't hold anyone but yourself responsible if you brick your device. You do not need to root or have any custom recovery to use the following procedure. In fact, your Note should be bone stock. Make sure you have an 8013. (The US WiFi only version.) Next, download and unzip the file from your PC, not your Note. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT A CHECK MARK IN THE "RE-PARTITION" BOX IN ODIN.
Credit to BarryH_GEG for the following quote:
1- Download and install Odin 1.85. Make sure you have Kies installed first because it installs the necessary USB drivers.
2- Extract the ROM .zip file and put it on your desktop or somewhere easy to find.
3-Run Odin as adminstrator.
4-Click on the PDA button in Odin and find the ROM file you want to load on to your Note. It's an MD5 file. Leave everything else as-is.
4a. Power down your Note.
5-Put your Note in to download mode by pressing power and volume down at the same time. Use the volume up button to select download mode. A little green Android should show up on the Note's screen.
6-Connect your Note via USB to your PC. The box under ID:COM in Odin should turn yellow.
7-Click start in Odin. Odin will show you what it's doing in the message box and you'll see a progress bar on your Note. When it's done, disconnect your Note from the PC and it should reboot itself with the update.

I used this procedure to update my note 10.1. It worked perfectly, just like an update from kIes. Make sure you are not rooted before you do this. Your note must be bone stock with no modifications. This procedure did not wipe my note, all my apps and data were intact after the update.
Make sure you read up on using Odin before you try this. Also, read up on the ota to make sure you want it. It fixes a lot of problems, but some people don't like the new s notes. For me, the ota makes the note so much better that it's a complete no brainer.
There is also a pre rooted version of this fIrmware in the development section.

Thanks it worked like a charm.

Thanks for posting this. I may try this this week. I do use s-notes all of the time when I'm reading my textbooks for school so I am afraid to lose functionality. Would it be possible to go back to the ROM I'm on if it does break my snote?

Sorry, I can't answer that. I just posted help I got elsewhere in the forum. I've not heard of anyone on the forum losing the S-pen from updating, as long as they were stock. If you're rooted or have a custom recovery, you need to seek help from someone smarter than myself bbefore you attempt this. If you are stock, maybe post a question in the questions section, asking if anyone lost the s-pen upgrading rom a stock Note. That way you can assess your risk.

No unless you want to be rooted..

It wasnt just rooted users that lost the s-pen. I was stock unrooted and lost it. Also had to reboot everytime my device went to sleep if I wanted to unlock the screen. It was a pain and had to get a replacement from Amazon.

Im using the pulled firmware and havent experienced any pen problem. Could it be a random event

I was stock and flashed the update via Odin.
Lost the pen detection completely, even flashing back to the old firmware didn't do anything. Had to get a replacement.

[Odin][XXBMC3] Back To Stock Galaxy Camera 3-part Odin Flash GC-100

HI guys, I'd like to post this here. Here is the latest Odin flash update I pulled from Kies and my device the other day. This is as new as it gets for Samsung Galaxy Camera. You will need Odin3 and the following files
PIT: http://d-h.st/3B3
CSC: http://d-h.st/AVe
MODEM: http://d-h.st/Nbl
PDA: http://d-h.st/U7K
Not much more to say, Hope this gets someone out of a sticky situation.

I wonder if they'll ever remember they made this device and give us another update, not necessarily a version upgrade, but give it some extra functions in the camera app.

Adam, many guys paid for the toolkit. We realize you're busy with many projects, but we have no one else to go to to get a sound recovery zip for our cameras. I'm just asking you in a professional manner for your assistance.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What do you want? You want me to whip up a CASUAL recovery installer? Or what kind of recovery.zip are you looking for? Generally you install .zips from a recovery, I wouldn't be making a ROM for the camera, but I can help to make it easier to install ROMs.

This device has received the same support as the Galaxy Note 2. So, if you read about something for GNote2, you will likely see it on this device too.

Thanks for reply. No, I'm not interested in installing ROMs. Just a standard CWR that would allow me to install zipped scripts and stuff to tweak camera. I.E. crossbreeder, etc. I installed recovery on my note 8 and added some scripts to make it run smoother and conserve battery. I've seen some recoveries out there, but there are questionable, but you have established yourself as a serious developer. That's why I asked.

no. this is for GC100 only.

GC-120
Adam,
I have a GC120 that was rooted and working fine. However not realizing that the bootloader was still locked I flashed a custom rom with mobile odin and did not make a back up prior to doing that. Now it boots directly to Download mode and I can not get it to boot to recovery. I can not find the stock firmware anywhere to try to flash through odin. I was going to try the unbrickable mod but I dont know if I feel comfortable taking the thing apart. Ive tried flashing the OTA updates for the device and still nothing. Any suggestions on how I can get this to work again ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

those files still available or no?
Adam... a year ago i downloaded your files and keep it in my harddrive, but last week when i want to use it again, the files corrupted... i can't understand why because i used the same files for 2 times before.
Last night i tried to download your files again... but keep on failing.. my connection really good because i can download 1080 (-+ 1gb) movie everytime. So your files still available to download no? So

So what do we need to start?

Thank you for the forum!
Since this is the "new" S4 I'm very happy that it has it's home now.
I got mine as a surprise after throwing my "old" I9505 in the wall and breaking it in half in a post-op amnesia so it was a nice early Christmas gift
So where do we start? If you look at GSM-Arena: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5542&idPhone2=5665
It's very close to Note 3. It's so close that I think that they make it in the same production line. That is logical to cut the costs.
There are obvious things that makes them different but really not that much as core-hardware.
Note 3
3 gig ram. It can do record video with a notch higher density, but is that hardware or software? I'm guessing the later.
I9506
I noticed that the cam has focus-problems when I tried to do my bills today (that has QR-codes so you don't have to type them).
It had trouble with near focus. I tried with my HTC One X that focused it much better.
The only thing is if the Knox has an e-fuse but we will soon be aware of that. In that case there will be problems. For Samsung.
What more?
It doesn't have the Wifi-bug that Note 3 has. I don't know if that has anything to do with the 4.3 or not?
Does anybody know about Wifi-problems with 4.3 with the i9505?
The bug is that it considers the Wifi being "poor connection quality" and disconnects. While you stand next to the router.
I tried that on 3 at home, went back to the shop and it worked there flawlessly. Figure.
So that bug is something we don't want to introduce here since I'm guessing we need to blend some code form Note 3?
So basically it's a damn rocking phone. It's a pocket Note 3 and I think we can do amazing stuff with it.
I did an Antutu on original TouchWiz (has only rooted it) and got almost the same score as Note 3.
I know, it doesn't say that much but it's a measure of SOME kind. If not qualitative then at least quantitative.
So since I have a Note 3 as well (damn saleman). I was supposed to give one of them in my family but I think they will get my Htc One X
So the benefit is that I can test stuff on both. I don't care about flags, Knox or not. I have a green light from my cell-provider.
"Don't Duck up our cell-net and no warranty if you brick your phone by software" so a bit of precaution and nothing wreckless maybe?
So. How do I build a custom rom? I need a "Custom rom for Dummies" here
I don't even know if there is Kernel-source to start with? Do Samsung disclose that or do they don't give a damn as usual?

Hey there, i love your enthusiasm and that there is someone who is willing to dev . I dont know how its in other countries but here in germany my gt-i9506 is still running 4.2.2 and not 4.3. I hope some people will help you out as im not really able to.

Yes i am also intressted in building rom... Just asop s4 google edition would be very nice!
*edit. Miui would also be nice!

From what I have seen by reading threads on rom building, it could be as easy as building a rom for the the i9505 and then replacing some binaries from a Note 3 rom (or vice versa).
Scrosler in the Nexus7 area gives a pretty good noob guide to building.
I am reading up on XDA-university and CM porting guides at the moment.

Hello guys
First of all nice to see that some of you want do something for the I9506 same like me but i think we need cm support otherwise its not easy to port roms...
Well here are some answers for the questions.
1. Yes it is same s800 processor like in Note 3 wich is supporting LTE+ 150Mbit
2. The wifi bug on Note 3 is Firmware related since you have it
3. All countrys where you can get a I9506 got 4.2.2 Firmware.
There isnt 4.3 Firmware out for I9506 currently but in near future it will since the S4 is on Samsung update list to 4.3
4. Source for I9506 is already out: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-I9506
So CM devs have to grab it and support our device
5. Knox?... Since i can read here our device is ready or has already Knox: http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/mobile-device/mobilephones/smartphones/GT-I9506ZKADTM
Well we will get it atleast with next update 4.3 cause its not in bootloader currently ... i can see only the Knox app ... but i dont care it
6. The well known dsixda's Kitchen i allready tried but our device is currently not supported http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
7. There is also the AOSP Paranoid Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863547 wich can be ported but i didnt tested since it didnt worked with dsixda's Kitchen for me
There are much more but the base of all is CM! So please sign here if you didnt allready

I've used SamsungCamera2.apk from Note3 on my SHV-E330S(same as I9506) and UHD video works right "out of the box" No any patches required, except some patch from Note 3 community to remove record time limit.
Just some precaution: I'm using 4.3 firmware on SHV-E330S, while I9506 has no 4.3 yet. So, i think you have to wait for 4.3 first and then can use Note3 camera.
Update: actually UHD resolution is already supported by stock E330S camera, but isn't enabled in APK. I've just enabled and it works fine.

PLEASE READ THIS!!!
Let's make a rom! (question)
Its been moved by Mod to general Forum so thats why i post the link for it!

Install Chainfire's SuperSU, and some kind of BusyBox.:good:
You can't use CF's Mobile Odin ATM, our model is not supported and that's why I made this pre-rooted system image.
You can now remove/freeze whatever you want, with whatever app you like. I have freezed down 73 apps on my S4+

Ok actually downloading t, maybe you could create your own topic ?

Trying to restore/update PA but unfamiliar with the process

Hi Everyone,
Im using an att LG G2 with Paranoid Android installed; I bought the phone at release I am pretty sure and through att. I believe it to be PA version 3.4 and Android version 4.3.1 from looking af the about phone settings. Basically Ive had this phone on loan to someone for about a year and it is just bogged down with shovelware. Netflix wont even load. I was comfortable playing around with ROMs before but ive been in the Ios scene lately and am out of practice. I have some recoveries but I'm concerned with having not played around on the phone's root for several years now so I'd rather not use something that may be incomplete.
My main concern is having the phone back to its speed from before, getting rid of all of the apps, and starting fresh. Id like to keep PA, hopefully upgrade to the latest version, but if i can just factory reset that works too. I'm pretty sure i could reinstall PA starting from scratch with a clean phone. I've been through the forums different times and I really do find that the info is all consolidated well. I hope I don't come accross as lazy or unwilling to search, I just had a bad experience flashing my Galaxy S2 so whenever I'm not certain on the process I try to consult with people more involved.
Thank you all for your time,
Andrew Rapp

Forgive me but I've had this phone on the shelf for a bit and am seeing now that paranoid Android is relatively dead. That'd be unfortunate since I really dug the interface! But if it really is no longer being supported would anyone have a suggestion on a ROM upgrade? Thanks again!

Cm13 or 12.1 both available with a few variants based on them just give them a whirl.

I had CM back on my s2! I could get down with checking it out again. Going through their website is a lot of helpful information, however, most of it seems to be garnered at first time users. I'm using this guide here:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d800
and I'm curious if I can skip the first half (installing a custom recovery); because I'm pretty sure I have one installed already from when I flashed PA. How would I go about checking?

Just reboot into recovery to check the version.
But it would be best to update to TWRP 2.8.73 (latest version).

So once I've updated TWRP (which I do have installed) I can skip that first half and just do the second part? Thanks for the help btw; really trying to bring the phone back to life since I love the screen and size

If you have flashed Roms before you know the rule, read the first post then read it again then read it a third time
Make sure you have the correct bootstack, I suggest the official CM ROM to start with by Drastic then you can always try the others AICP,Bliss,ResurrectionRemix and Crdroid.
I like AICP for the customisations been on it for a couple of days to try out.

I know, being cautious to a fault here >_< I just ended up using flashify to update twrp; that was easy enough. I'll use the app to make a back up I believe and then try following instructions on the website! Thanks for all your help, hopefully I won't need to return XD but still keeping the topic open just in case!

Nope! I get an error when trying to install the CM zip file. In red it says:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1KI-d800.zip'
I was able to get in what appears to be a broken CM installation, which fortunately includes file system exploration and messaging. Accessing the phone from the computer is no problem either. Any idea what the issue here may be?

Bump!

Not sure to be honest,if you have followed the steps in the OP post up in the thread by @drastic and I am sure the more knowledgeable will help you solve the problem.

Ahhh thanks! Yeah I'd been doing the 12.1 downloads from the CM site but yeah that process seems to be the same. Could it be possible that my something weird had been done with the person I loaned the phone too? He liked to tinker and I wouldn't put it passed him to have done something funny with it, or even I before having loaned it. Coud the bootstack be an incorrect? Is there a way I could check?

Can you get the phone back to stock Lollipop,if you think he has played around this may be the best option.

I was thinking that'd be the best option; just to start everything over. Would that process be extensive? I'm on a work computer so I can use recovery and get the files on my phone but anything too complex or needing me to use installers I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow

Should give you all you need, it could take an hour or two but will give you a fresh start.
