[Q] Samsung Tab Rebooting on downgrade from gingerbread to fryo - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I flashed Gingerbread ROM on my Galaxy TAB. Works perfectly.
However when I connect to Kies, it says this device can not be updated. So after having a feel of gingerbread I decided to flash the stock ROM - DDJK3 ( Asian - India ) . It flashed fine and boots into fryo with all correct version and Kies also recognize it and says that this is the latest firmware.
The only problem is that TAb reboots itself if I do one of the following:
1) Try to 'add a wifi connection' : the manual way
2) Screen times out
3) press the power button once to lock screen ( guess same as no 2)
Though I like Gingerbread and will switch back to it, just wanted to use the DDJK3 stock ROM in case I have to take it back to service center, and also out of the DAMN curiosity ...
Has anyone faced this problem and found a solution ...
Best Regards

[Q] Problem with Samsung Galaxy X Download Mode (KeyPressed,50)

This is a serious problem I am having.
First, this is a back ground of what I did with the device before I have this problem,
I bought this locked on france tele (orange)
I unlocked it.
I rooted and unrooted my phone several times (pretending I am an expert)
I tried to update my phone to 2.2 using kies by reading instructions to change registries (which turned out to be not good instruction as I down loaded 2.1.1)
from this point on, when I connect to kies it says that ''this version cannot be updated'' or something like that.
so I started to familiarize my self with odin and downloaded many android versions for samsung galaxy s mainly from samfirmware trying to get my phone back to be synchronized with kies so it could be updated with kies.
(I decided to back off a little and not to play too much with the system in my galaxy but that seems to be too late)
I tried to install the different versions in my device by download mode and check if kies know the version, it always doesnt.
BUT
at the end I got
firmware version 2.1-update1
Based band version
I9000XXJE2
Kernel version
2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build number
ECLAIR
FROM NOW ON
I cannot use the download mode in my device to update by odin because it always fails
when I go to download mode I get
a message in red at the top that says
''KeyPressed, 50''
if i got to recovery mode it says at the top
android system recovery <2e>
samsung recovery utils
for BML
and then below are the options
reboot, wipe, etc..
How can I go out of this situation
I want to go back to be able to update normally through kies
or at least be able to install versions by odin
otherwise, it seems my device could not be updated at all.
thanks
same thing happend to me, no reply?

[Q] [HELP] Kies Firmware Update Failed

Hello,
I just updated the firmware of my brand new Note 10.1 (N8000) using Kies, which seems to have failed - I can't even turn the device off. I'm a quite experienced computer user, but brand new to Android. Any help or feedback would be very much appreciated (esp. how I can at least turn off the device).
Problem Description:
I have a new Note 10.1 (a German device/I'm in Germany using the Vodafone network, but I guess that shouldn't matter) and installed Kies today. The application identified a new firmware and suggested an update, which I did via USB. Everything appeared to have gone all right - the file got downloaded, transferred to the device, which then showed that it was installing the updates (something like 95 items). No error message. The device then booted, and that's where it seems to be stuck: since then, the device is in an endless loop: Screen is black, a swirling animation comes up, than the Samsung Logo, which stays for like 12 seconds, the screen goes black and it starts from the beginning (in total the loop takes like 15 secondes). Kies cannot connect to the device, and I can't even turn it off, it's just stuck in this endless loop.
Before the update, the device was neither modified nor rooted (I only installed a few apps), and there was no error message during the update (at least none that I saw).
Can anyone help???
Get the firmware file from sammobile and flash with odin. You can find a lot of how to regarding Odin, just do a search and you will find a movie or tutorial.
Here is the fw

The link is from sammobile, not a mirror, so it's safe.
Or you could just return it for an exchange.

To turn off, just press power until it turns off (about 10 seconds)...

Kies failed! Odin PASS and stuck in the logo!, it doesnt boot!
You may need to go into recovery and wipe data/cache partition. This will wipe your internal memory of everything but you will get an operational note...

HELP!!! Soft Bricked Samsung G3 I747M (Rogers Canada)

Hello,
Here's my issue, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747M (Rogers Canada) and I decided to root my phone to connect a wireless controller for running emulators. I used ODIN 3 and rooted it with the proper ROM and it worked fine. I then noticed it had been running really slow and I wanted to update it to the latest Android platform but in order to do that I need to unroot the phone and return it to the stock ROM because I also figured out that I can hook up the controller with a USB so my phone doesn't need to be rooted anymore. I found the stock CF-Auto rom for my specific phone and carrier and reinstalled ODIN 3 on my computer. When I plug the phone into my computer with ODIN open it recognises it and the COM3 field turns yellow and in the txt box it says that its connected. I load the Stock ROM into PDA and run ODIN. It completes and I get the green "Complete" box and in the txt box it says Complete Disconnect Phone but when I restart my phone it loads the Samsung loading video and then just hangs at the Samsung logo with the blue LED blinking and the only way to shut down the phone is to remove the battery. I am still able to get to the download screen (Vol Down + Home + Power) and also when I loaded the stock ROM in ODIN it said to make sure that F. TIME RESET and AUTO REBOOT is selected but AUTO REBOOT is already checked and I cant turn on F. TIME RESET as the options terminal in ODIN is greyed out and I cant change the options, could this affect it? I know my phone can be saved as its only Soft Bricked its just a matter of how.....PLZ HELP!!!
think you have flashed the rom and theres no os to run other than blank try installing again or else install custom recovery and run a custom rom
Good Luck!
Ok I will try it again today, what is the custom recovery thing and custom rom you're talking about? Sorry im not very savvy when it comes to smart phones, links would help a bunch and someone mentioned to me today to DL a new CF-AUTO stock rom for my phone because it may be the wrong one even though it was labeled for my model. Know of any good sites to get Official Stock Roms for phones?
Thanks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so I found the newest version of ODIN3 and my actual Stock ROM, /fingerscrossed
If it works Ill post up where I found everything incase someone else comes across this problem with the same phone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***RESOLVED***
Ok so, I downloaded ODIN3 by hitting up Google and downloading it from the first link which was from this site (My issue was an out of date ODIN3 program, hence the grayed out options)
I got the stock file for my Samsung Galaxy S3 i747M (Rogers Canada) from SAMMobile (<Google this should be the first link)
This site has everything you need for Samsung anything and its free you just make an account. Also don't make the mistake I did and assume the list of stock files that comes up is all that's there, you have to manually search for your phone model and a list of countries and carriers comes up for that phone. The file was even the most up to date version which was a plus.
