Need help with [ROM] MIUI based Elite ROM v9.6a Multilanguage 2012-02-09

Hi there guys!!!
I've been trying to install this ROM but i can't pass the 1st phase.
The thing is that, when i try to downgrade my ROM version, it just doesn't finish the unpacking process.
I'm trying to downgrade to B163 but nothing. (tried with B138 too - same happens)
I'm using MIUI-2.1.20 Kernel 2.6.35.7.
I've tried with all the wipes, data/factory reset.
Any help, please?
Ty
i also tried to install that rom. but i managed to downgrade the official rom to kernel version .32. after i installed elite rom my phone wont turn on. i have the infinite reboot loop problem.
i installed many custom roms before so i know what i'm doing. but i just cant get it to work. after 6-10~ hours of trying i gave up. now i'm using official 2.3.5 rooted again.
i guess i wouldn't have this problem if i never installed the officaal 2.3.5 update.
i also installed the 2.2.2 rom 3 times without success.
any other ideas how could i fix this?
to"SirLittleJohn". did u tried to wipe data and cache in recovery before downgrading?
Unfortunatly i can't help you with your problem...
Yea, i did.

Have you tried to install it without the battery? Just plug it in without it and give it a go. And try changing the install media (internal/external sdcard).

Let's see what happens next
I'll keep you guys updated
EDIT:
ROM Elite's already installed!
I still need to check some thins and search a lil bit more cause im getting FC at start cause of the message app i think. And another thing i need to fix is that the phone's acting like i don't have any SIM (doesn't ask for PIN).
But not now lol-
Once again, TY!!!!! <3
EDIT2: Ok, now everything seems OK unless 1 thing: now it doesn't get signal with a SIM from another mobile company. It's not unlocked anymore. Any way to solve this?
Once again, ty

hi,
Since you're already on android 2.2, you might want to try flashing the full SBF avilable here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093352
please note that all your data on phone will be lost (eg.contacts) and you won't be able to downgrade to android 2.1 (shouldn't be problem if you are already on 2.2). Follow the instructions in the link I've given you.
thanks
Thanks for replying... n thank you for link the post.. i dont mind the contacts and sms gone cuz i still have my motorola atrix.. thanks once again...

[Q] CM10 first rolling recovery now scrambled lock screen!!!

Hey guys,
this is my first post and my problem is as follows:
I had ICS 4.0.x on my galaxy tab 10,1 P7500, I then installed CWM 5.5.0.4. but had a rolling window. I then continued to install a bootloader (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41) with the appropriate bootloader for the p4. This fixed the rolling recovery and allowed me to install CM10 using CWM.
But my current problem is when the device goes on sleep mode and I wake the device up the screen is scrambled, can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you in advance
The only fix i found is for HC

Edit:
I fixed the rolling screen issue after screen unlock with pershoot's help, thanks again pershoot!
Maybe it will also work for you , here we go:
If you have installed the latest cm10 build, there is only one issue for the p4wifi , you must be on the US ICS Bootloader .
So download the recovery.tar.md5 from here:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/recovery.tar.md5
Than go into download mode and flash this recovery using ODIN, (select pda and look for this file where you safed it, than click start)
Than, download the right US ICS Bootloader here:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip
Flash this also via ODIN in the PDA section, this may take a little longer, don't panic...
After that, the tablet will reboot and it should work... don't blame me if it didn't, but i had this rolling screen on almost every rom, and everything is fixed now...
I wish you good luck because i know it IS very annoying..
Thanks for the reply DefQon, I agree I think this is most annoying errors I have ever gotten.
I also searched high and low and could only find the fix for HC.

Please help - When turning off the Screen Android 4.1.1 will not come back on
I have the following problem.
When I install one of the latest rom e.g.
[ROM] [JB] [P4--P4WIFI--P4VZW]
4.1.2 AOKP for the Galaxy Tab 10.1
or
[ROM][JB][CM10] Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview
then I have this problem:
When I turn off with the "Power"-Hardbutton, then it turns off, but it does not turn back on. The screen stays black.
With the Rom ...
[ROM][JB][CM10] Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview "cm-10-20120814-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip" from August everything works fine.
Since I had this flickering problem I flashed the bootloader before I installed all these Roms.
But one works and all new ones don't.
Anyone has a idea what to do?
thx

Thanks this helped me fix a mates Galaxy Tab 10.1
I was starting to pull my hair out and this worked so well.
Takes no time to do and no need to reflash the rom.

i tried this method, but at second flashing (bootloader.zip) i get "0 succeed/0 failed" and still i get that scramble, and have to reboot all the time.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!:good:
Problems solved
I solved my problems. I installed the "custom" bootloader for each Rom and the "black screen" problem is now gone.
Thanx anyway.

I have tested the fix for weeks now and it worked great.
Except, this afternoon my tablet randomly restarted and now won't go past CM 10 boot screen.
Any idea whether reflashing the ROM without wyping, purely just installing (as is) CM10 M2 from CWM? Or any other ideas?
I have tried clearing the cache and the dalvik cache. I then tried doing a factory reset but it doesn't seem to proress. I thought if I can do a factory reset then reinstall the ROM I might get it to work but I can't install the ROM as it says "Error (Status 7)?
I have tried formatting the /data in attempt to get the factory reset to work but this also freezes.
Currently, my tablet is in an infinite loop cycle and I cannot change the ROM or do a factory reset.
Thanks, you guys have really been helpful!

After hours of trying I have found a solution.
I previously had done backups. I tried each one until one started restoring. It completed quite a lot till it froze and I restarted into recovery.
I did a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and could then complete a factory reset.
It has now booted completely into ICS where I can now flash CM10 again.
The tablet works normally as you would expect on ICS. I booted into recovery and tried to flash CM10 M2 for the GT-P7500 but I still get a error, status 7.
Anyone experienced this?

Status 7 usually indicates the wrong update file, are you sure you are flashing the right ROM for the 7500?
Perhaps try to flash the recovery and bootloader first and then the right ROM and see what happens?

The thing is it is the exact same file I used to flash the previous time.. I first updated my recovery and bootloader before flashing and still get the error. Thanx for the thought though.

I have no idea what to do to fix this without needing to delete everything since i couldnt make a backup??? any help would be awesome!!!
