P6200 [Stock Honeycomb] [rooted] Freezing and locking up - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Hello there, my brother has a Tab Plus P6200. He got it 10 days ago.
The first thing he did was root it by going into recovery and installing root.zip from SD card.
It was fine until today when it started freezing and locking up all the time. The only solution is to reset it by holding the power/lock button to force reset it.
As soon as it boots, it freezes. Sometimes he can unlock it and swipe through the homescreens, sometimes it even freezes before he gets to unlock it. Even if he gets to unlock it, it would freeze after a minute or maybe less. He can't do anything on it.
I was gonna recommend a data wipe from srock recovery but thought that it's easier that he try and get it replaced under warranty.
Just wanted to know whether there's anyone else that has experienced this and if there's a quick solution for it.

I sorta had that same problem when I first bought my tab. Honeycomb is really terrible. I kept it only one day then I flashed my tab with cm9 and now I'm running cm10 and all is good. Maybe he should try that

That's a good suggestion however it might void the warranty if I can't flash back to stock or it bricks and I can't reset the counter.
Anyway I showed him CM9 and CM10 on my Note and he didn't like them very much. He prefers the TW ROMs.
Oh and by the way, is stock recovery safe on Honeycomb? Does it have the emmc bug like the ICS kernels? I might give it a shot with wiping data/factory reset. That won't void the warranty though, right?

Change your root file. Your version of firmware is incompatible with the root file you're using.

Phone reboots/hangs on splash screen

I really would appreciate some input on this.. I was on NexusMod ICS for about two days before I woke up one morning to find that my phone had rebooted and was stuck at the splash screen. I tried pulling the battery and powering it on but got the same result, so I tried to get into CWM and couldn't. It would boot to recovery but not long enough to actually do anything, so I ODIN'd stock rom and CWM then flashed AOKP build 38 instead of NexusMod. Everything was fine for a few days but this morning I woke up to my phone stuck on the splash screen again, only this time when I pulled the battery and powered it on, it booted up fine, but my wallpaper had changed (weird).. So I really don't have a clue why this would happen, but I'd appreciate some help, and TIA!

Yes, that's a good idea, but wouldn't you think it would be an app that's causing it since it happened on two very different roms? Or am I way off in my thinking?

Can rom installation fix network problems on stock ics?

First post
Anyways, Ever since I've upgraded to ICS, I've been having serious cell-related network connection problems on my tmobile iemi-unlocked atrix 2, mb865(NOT Wi-Fi connectivity problems.) My signal is constantly going from 5-1 bars (several times a minute) in places where I previously experienced a solid 5 bars with gingerbread and my (also unlocked, on tmobile) iPhone 2g. Also, my carrier logo is disappearing and reappearing many times a minute as well. (Even when I have 5 bars.) Sometimes , I just get a red triangle with a white cross inside of it where the bars should be.
Sometimes, these problems are temporarily fixed when I enter airplane mode for a few seconds, then exit it. But within 15 minutes of exiting, I begin experiencing the same problems. Other times, they aren't fixed through entering/exiting airplane mode , and I have to reboot the device.
My question is, will installing a rom perhaps fix these problems? Since my network was fine on gingerbread, it's obviously not a hardware problem. I'm rooted, of course (but before rooting I experienced these problems as well.)
I obtained the iemi through at&t and not a shady third party unlocking business, if that makes any difference.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well it can't hurt to try a new rom.... wait it can haha but yes sometime even a factory restore can fix a lot of random issues. My buddy was running stock gingerbread on his phone and it had a messed up usb port. I then put CM7 on it and it worked magically so it is a possibility. I am currently running numa and it fixed my wifi issue where it would randomly turn off. But I think a good old factory restore could maybe fix it,
Try changing network selection from automatic to either 2g or 3g..it worked for me on my searet ota..

Alright! I guess I'll try the restore first. Do you think it'll wipe my unlock? And I have titanium backup, so after I restore I can just restore things from it?

When you change your network it is normal to get a message like this..you can go ahead..

I believe your unlock will be there still. I could be wrong though. And if you have a sdcard it will be unaffected by the factory restore and new ROMs. But its a good idea to back it up every blue moon. And yes you can get your apps and app data back with titanium backup. Make sure it stores to sdcard and the same with ROMs.

I guess. Does the warranty last for a year?
Also, I backed up to titanium, did a factory reset, and restored from titanium. I still have the same problem. Could I possibly freeze some apps (using Gemini app manager) that involve the sim card? Would that avail to anything?

Yes. At least in my country the warranty is for one year. But, if you bought it the phone with the two year contract i think, the warranty should last two years.
And the other thing, i have no idea man. Sorry. I never experienced that, and i don't know what happen there. But, my advice is that you must go to the warranty and try.

I see :0 since I'm not even a customer of at&t, would I still be able to reap the benefits of warranty? And I don't have the receipt or anything (as I said, I got the phone from a trade with a friend.)

No! You will brick your phone. OTA ICS bootloader is not the same as leak #1. Try another FDR but do NOT restore from TB.

So just to be sure of the process:
1)download link under the 9/26 update to root of SD card
2)enter boot menu
3) install it from there? :0
Sorry I'm kinda confused by this rom stuff (I read the noob guide, but still.)

To be honest this could be a hardware problem. But you should try flashing to CM. If it's some sort of weird bug/glitch with the stock kernel that'll fix it. Also you should run TriangleAway in case you need support.

No. The stock CM one should be OK.

You could also try flashing to stock JB. I believe there's a CWM-flashable rom in the dev section.

Thanks, i will try it out and if the problem still persists,i will use CM

Camera flash

Hello everybody. I noticed earlier tonight that my camera flash isn't working on my galaxy s3. I'm currently rooted and running PAC man ROM. I tried flashing back to a stock ROM already and that did nothing for me so I'm not sure where to go from here. Anybody else had this issue? How did you get it fixed?
Sent from my S3 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately it sounds like it might need warranty replacement if you have it. What happens when you try using torch or a flashlight app. Does the light come on then. Did it accidentally get dropped.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium
It hasn't been dropped or anything. I get nothing with the torch/flashlight apps either. If I end up doing a warranty replacement I just need to flash back to an official Verizon ROM and stock recovery correct?

How come my S3 freezes?

It freezes to a point where I have to take out my battery.... ever since I rooted, that started happening and I removed most of the apps I can download in the store such as kindle, play books, etc but none of the stock apps. I'm TW stock and rooted running faux kernel (btw this also happened to me before flashing the kernel).is there a fix for this annoying issue And sometimes when I download certain apps and open them, it freezes..

Since you're stock already. It's probably only a couple things
1. You installed some kind of mod that is freezing your phone, any kind of optimizing and performance driven app or mod can do this.
2. A hardware problem
So if you feel confident you didn't do anything to cause the issues, then Odin back to stock and use it for a while completely stock. If it's still freezing up then it's a hardware problem, and you should put a warranty claim on your phone.

Thanks for the reply but this also happened to my other s3 when i was on jelly beans rom but I did noticed that on the AOSP roms, my s3 barely freezes.... I don't know if it was the stock apps I uninstalled?

Use a different kernel like Zeus kernel or DKP. Faux's kernels are a big fail.

No what you need to do is go load stock like BadUserName suggested. The number 1 rule when troubleshooting anything in life is to put it back to the way it was when you got it. In this case that means Odin back to stock. Do NOT install any kernels or CPU adjusting apps. I wouldn't even root or unlock. If it still happens its the phone.
