[Q] Strint Tab ROM Flashing Antics (HID Enabled!)

Do to being sick of the Bluetooth HID issue on Sprint Tabs I am goint to be a Ginny pig and try flashing ROMS until I find one that works. (If I brick it I will send it in and start all over again).
I bought my Sprint Tab for full price, called them and told them I am cancelling my account do to them disabling HID.
I just started, so far I tryed Roto's JMEv4 with modem to get rid of Sprint, I will not use this tab for 3G.
Unsurprisingly it didn't work and got stuck on the movinand file, left it connected over night. ended up with a phone to PC icon on the start screen and that was it.
Next I flashed Tab_Stock_-_No_Modem.rar for Sprint to bring it back to life.
Seems to be fine with a few changes. Under Baseband it says unknown, and the mobile network options in settings are greyed out, also the signal strength bars are now a circle with a line through it. No worries as I am not interested in 3G.
Only downside is I have to use a bluetooth widget from market to pair, etc.
I have downloaded the Zypher_v1 and T-mobile ROMS and will try those tonight.
Does anyone have any ideas on other ROMS to flash to get Bluetooth HID on my Sprint Tab?
I'd like some suggestions, otherwise I will continue to flash random ROMS untill I find one that works with HID.
M.

Tonight's Flashing shinanigans included the following.
Flashed T-Mobile_Stock.tar, didn't work had to reflash Tab_Stock_-_No_Modem.rar for Sprint to Resurrect.
Flashed Roto-KM2-Full-v1.tar got stuck on movinand again, had to reflash Tab_Stock_-_No_Modem.rar for Sprint to Resurrect again.
Flashed Zypher_v1.tar, no Bluetooth HID of course but the ROM flashed just fine.
I need to dig up some more ROMs without the protected bootstrap to continue.

+1 awesome work, im a samsung newbie,
So hemidall and odin scare me but amon and clockwerk are second nature to me, but I digress. Once again good job, I hope the sprint tab dev gets more attention!
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

ROTO-JME v1 with the movinand file deleted from .tar with 7Zip.
Reflashed with Odin 1.7 used P1_add_hidden.pit, partition adn it works!
Paired and conected my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse with on sceen curser and all.
I will test all my apps/games, etc and report back, I wouldnt be supprised if it all works.
Woot rotohammer.
M.

Update 1
All apps work except Samsung App and Reader Hub (error no sim card installed).
I had to uninstall and reinstall all my apps from the market, they all work fine now.
Rebooting is a little odd, as in I see the Samsung logo then a black screen, then the bootup sound with the screen still black. have to tap the power button 2 times to get the unlock screen.
Camera and GPS work which is nice as I borked them with a previous flash.
My Bluetooth Logitec mouse and keyboard work fine. YAY
If I turn the Tab completely off I have to pair and connect any bluetooth items again, other then this It looks good so far.

I assume there is no way to get 3G back until someone can dump the stock sprint modem file.

nice.........

Thanks for the work you're putting into this. Excited to see what develops....

Minor update.
I just went to Gamelofts site to test compatability and realized I have no idea what carrier/country to select, ugh.
Anyone know what Country and Carrier to select for a full flash of ROTO-JME v4?
M.

another update
For some reason the /sdcard is only 200 megs.
inside /sdcard is external_sd that has 13.5 gigs free after installing everything.
does that seem odd? /sdcard/external_sd
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
M.

last update for tonight.
Flashed T-Mobile_Stock.tar over ROTO-JME v4 (the one I deleted movinand from) and it failed.
For a goof I deleted the modem.bin from the T-Mobile ROM and reflashed and it worked, paired and connected my Bluetooth mouse. didnt check all the apps to see if they work or not.
Going to Flash back to Sprint Stock and see what happens.

I don't know specifically about the Sprint Tab, but on the GSM Tabs you have 16gb of internal memory. Take off around 2GB for the system/data, and you have around 14GB available which appears as /sdcard. The microSD itself appears as /sdcard/external_sd.
I guess that on your Tab, since you only have 2GB internal memory, /sdcard is now what remains from that 2GB after you take out the system/data partitions etc, and /sdcard/external_sd is now your actual SD card (as per GSM Tabs).

Dave

wow, great job you are doing.
I also have a sprint Tab but it is CDMA.

My Sprint is CDMA like all the other ones, I just flashed it to axe the modem as I wanted a WIFI only and did not hear about that model coming out until after I bought this one, as well as being so mad at Sprint for disabling HID, I did not want to see there dumb name on my tab.
M.

Now if someone could get Rotohammer to make a version of Roto's JMEv4 (for CDMA) without Samsung Apps and Reader Hub as they need a SIM card and remove the movinand file I would like to try and flash that with maybe the modem from the Zypher thread and see if 3G will work, until someone figures out how to get the stock CDMA modem.
M.

Hey thank you so much for doing all this. I am very interested in getting involved. The only experience I have to offer is extensive flashing of my captivate, I have used ADB, Odin, CWM, and know how to do pretty much everything involved with flashing roms, modems, themes, ect. I really hope this leads to some development on the sprint tab because I have been getting awful bored running stock.

I'll keep on following your work. I also want to get rid of the sprint crap

Following in your footsteps, but now stuck at Samsung Boot Screen
Thanks for going through all this trial and error with the Sprint Tab.
I got inspired to try the same thing with my tab, and I've created a soft brick. I reflashed the tab with the JM6, JME, and JMF firmwares... and the firmwares copy over to the tab successfully, but then I get stuck at the Samsung boot prompt.
I've successfully flashed Roto's JME-v4 over to the tab, removing the movinand.mst also, otherwise it got stuck. The flash is successful, but on restart I still get the Samsung boot screen, and it just keeps cycling on the Samsung logo.
Any thoughts on how I un-brick this thing?

The times I got a soft brick, I flashed back to Zypher_v1.tar or tab_sprint_noModem_20101226.tar both I got from the Dev forums here.
I did not do any Dalvik cache wipe or factory resets, or any kind of backup before starting.
I used the Odin version and pit file if any suggested.
I got that modem - pc download screen instaed of the nornal download screen after several failed flashes but always seemed to be able to reflash.
M.

The only problem i am having is mounting the sd card. my tablet wont see it. now i am on a verizon tablet.

which pit file to use for the sprint version?

[Q] Invalid Percent of Drawing download progress bar

Hey guys
Could really appreciated some advice please?
Tried to install the Vodafone UK lollipop image I downloaded from sammobile on sat night and tried flashing it. I have the unbranded UK Note3 32gb Lte. I got Odin fail and on the screen of the phone there was a constantly repeated line of red text that said 'invalid percent of drawing download progress bar'
This is what Odin said
<ID:0/006> modem.bin
<ID:0/006> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/006> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/006> FAIL! (Size)
<ID:0/006>
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1
Can anyone advise on what happened please? Do you think my vodafone uk lollipop image is broken? Would I be safe to try the Polish rom? Or is there something wrong with the phone?
I do not have root or a custom recovery on my device.
Im back on 4.4.2 and the phone is running fine - but OTA updates arnt out for the unbranded 4.4.2 uk handset.
Thank you in advance for your help

Try the Poland ONE coz your device is unbranded.

Do you think that is the reason it didnt work? Purely due to branding? Thank you for your help

Yep tried installing poland file as recommended above all back to normal now thank you Running the lovely lollipop

Phone doesn't recognize SIM suddenly and keeps rebooting

Hello experts,

This happened before, after 10/15 resets, the phone " got back to normal " and everything was fine, then, I tried to fix the data mobile connection and after the reboot it snapped and didnt work..
I mention that the screen was replace, dont know if it has anything to do with it but I saw some topics online and wanted to mention.
WHAT I DID SO FAR:
Tried with 2 versions of Odin to downgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 but I think I got the wrong firmware (got the Germany one instead of UK) because it failed everytime with the mention Complete(write) operation failed.
Ill keep trying to downgrade but Im not sure the software is the real problem here as there are many many topics on this subject I wanted to ask for your oppinion.

Hey pal I hope you made a EFS backup just before you started to play with your phone as the problem mitht be in the EFS,
also try to flash the correct stock firmware the right one for your country and carreer,
if that does not work try to flash a custom rom and if that does not work check if you dont have the reactivation lock ON and if it is on you will not be able to flash ANYTHING by odin
Let me know how it goes

Hey,
I didnt made any backup as I factory reseted it several times (I cleaned it before) and I dont know what that EFS backup is...
Im trying now with the correct firmware to see if it works. The reactivation lock is disabled.
Thanks for reply, Ill come back with an answer.

Guys,
Still no success... 2 different firmwares and 3 ODIN versions, still fail with the same error.
Help?

and have you tryed to flash twrp or cwm recovery than a custom rom?

Did you try getting a new SIM card from your carrier?
It's probably not a software issue, but a card one.
I had the same problem you have and the first thing I did before doing anything else was replacing my old SIM with a new one and the issue resolved itself...

Odin refuses to install modem

Hello there.
I've had this problem with Odin. I have a Galaxy S4 and I've been trying to change it's baseband, however, when I try to flash a modem on Odin this is what happens:
<ID:0/003> Transmission Complete..
<ID:0/003> Now Writing..
Please wait about 2 minutes
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/003>

I've tried to flash modems with TWRP, it says success but it doesn't actually change anything. Please, is there a way to forcefully flash the modem with Odin? Am I making a mistake with the recovery and that's why nothing changes?
I'm not looking for advice about risk of bricking, this phone is already useless to me unless I change it's modem. I MUST enable GSM bands.
The model is SCH-R970. Help me out please :'(

happened with me before once
i enabled usb debugging in settings -> developer mode
it fixed the issue for me

It's already enabled. Without that I think Odin wouldn't even try.

Why do you even think that you can unlock gsm? You cannot flash modems from a different version of the s4. And on a sidenote you cannot flash modems true the recovery anymore.

I think I'll just wipe efs and see if I can do something else. If anything goes wrong I'll have to buy an I9505/6 board. But still, does anybody here know how to forcefully flash a new modem/baseband? I asume the risk of bricking, just tell me how.

I already gave you the answer. It's impossible.

If you want to enable GSM bands, you need to enter the service menu of the phone and enable them there. Search Google, because I did find a post explaining how to do it along with any pitfalls involved. But that was a year ago, and it was in the midst of searching for a solution to my issues I had with the device back then.
As @Lennyz1988 mentioned already, flashing a modem from another model will not work. Odin will always reject it.

Odin flash failure on SM-G950W soft-bricked S8

I originally posted this under the wrong thread so apologies for the duplication. It was pointed out to me that my original post was in the wrong spot.
I'm super new to all of this but have spent the last two days trying to educate myself on how to use Odin after my S8 soft-bricked on me two days ago. I'm running into an issue with Odin's flashing not working for some reason and I can't seem to find any trouble shooting guides that solve the problem and I'm wondering if I maybe have set it up incorrectly somehow.
I'm running an SM-G950W through a Telus carrier in Canada and pulled the firmware through Samfirm since Sammobile is down currently. I've got the phone in download mode and the appropriate files in the appropriate slots in Odin. I'm looking to flash it without losing the data for the time being, if I can, just so I can back it up since apparently my cloud service backup failed and I have some relatively important images on there (ie. my mother's funeral) that I'd like to not lose if I can help it. Once I've pulled those, I plan to do a factory reset and failing that, plan to return the phone to my provider.
Odin sets up the files ok, recognizes the phone, and allows me to start but then it just doesn't actually seem to work. It doesn't throw any error codes or anything it just gives me the following:
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I've updated the Samsung USB drivers, I've tried multiple ports. I've cycled the phone. I installed and then shut down Kies (I had read suggestions on installing it to establish a connection with the device and the computer and then disabling it so it didn't conflict with Odin). I'm running Odin 3.12.3. I'm figuring I'll need to go back to an earlier firmware edition, once the sammobile servers are back up, maybe? Or is there some other suggestion I might try to figure this out.
I'll add I've not rooted or anything before. I hadn't done any sort of customization to my phone to trigger this. It started with random rebooting. Then multiple apps and functions started throwing errors repeatedly without break (made it impossible to type or use anything because it was so constant). The main one was cloud storage stopping working. Once I tracked that down and cleared the cache, it shifted to rebooting nonstop until it just stuck on the Samsung screen. Now that's the only screen it'll do unless I put it in recovery or download mode. I got it into safe mode once but it still rebooted itself which is what makes me think it's more than just an app issue or anything third party and will require a factory reset once I've retrieved the data I want to back up.
I appreciate any suggestions or help that can be provided.

I've now also tried the download mode cycle boot while starting Odin flash trick. While it didn't make Odin succeed, it did generate a slightly different Odin output:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..

Still no luck successfully flashing though.

I had a problem with my s8 when I flashed 950u to my 950w Odin was showing fail so I did some YouTube video search and found a modified Odin that helped.

I think that the problem is your computer, maybe you should try with a different one.
Perhaps you could also try using third party applications that might help easily retrieve all the data from your device.

You're welcome. If there was no change on your phone, perhaps you already have the firmware you are trying to install. Are you on AQL5? If not, review the steps performed, maybe you missed something.
I have always been using their products to recover lost data, and never had one single problem.
I forgot about MobilEdit, which is more popular, you might want to check the forensics version for better results.

I'm on AQK7 which matches what's listed in recovery mode and the most recent firmware I could find.
I tried Android 7 data recovery but it couldn't find my phone. Dr. Fone sees my phone but the data extraction option only supports up to S6/S6 Edge, not S8. I downloaded the mobiledit forensic version but it requires being able to approve a code on the screen to gain access which I can't do since I can only enter Recovery and Download mode.

I've got mobiledit forensic express seeing the phone but it only sees it for a split second before the program loses the connection even though the phone screen remains on the load screen. I was able to hit next one time to see that it'll let me download the full data content of the phone but the connection isn't staying which is limiting me. I'm not sure how to trouble shoot that.
[Edit]: I waited it out and the connection finally stuck, I ran the full content extraction, and while it found 1 SIM card SMS and several of my contacts, it says it was unable to access my images, audio, video folders. Even using the file manager to browse the folders showed no results. It is suggesting rooting the phone but I'm not confident that won't void my contract/coverage so I'm guessing that my phone wiped my data already in its constant bootloop and this might be a lost cause. I'll run the extraction a couple more times but it's not looking hopeful.

Rooting your phone will not void your warranty. You can flash a stock os at any time and nothing is changed. Knox is never incremented to 0x1 as 0x1 is impossible on the g950w. The whole "root trips Knox" thing is a myth and imo needs to be eradicated from our collective memory.

You could try flashing a factory test firmware first, worked for me but I have 950F.
G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU1AQDB FACTORY MULTI CERT
G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU1AQG3 FACTORY MULTI CERT

G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU1AQK1 FACTORY MULTI CERT

Did you turn ON OEM Unlock in developer before you began? Also if you can get back into the phone get your data - flashing stock WILL lose your data. Your other choice is to use ADB to copy out the files. You could also put a MicroSD card in and then use Odin to flash the latest TWRP - hold down [Vol Up] + [Bixby] +[Power] as you press [Start] in Odin to make sure you get to TWRP.
Once you're in TWRP use File Manage (in Advanced) to find the pics and copy them over to the MicroSD.
Then you can continue with the Root/Build process
