[Q] P5113 wont boot! Please help - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed the Zap Blaster rom and now my tab wont boot. It just shows the battery icon when its plugged in, but it shows it on and off randomly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Get back to CWM (power button / volume button combination), wipe cache and dalvik cache, do a factory reset and flash again (and/or try another ROM).
Did you use ROM Manager for flashing?

No I did it in recovery, its working now thanks!

I asked because it's highly recommended NOT using ROM Manager. In the rooting guide I've used is a big warning, that some people bricked their tab by using ROM Manager. Sorry, my bad. In the end you were lucky.

Thanks for the heads up! I never used ROM manager even on my phone.. It just never actually did anything so I steered away anyways thanks again!

Frustrating -APPS NOT INSTALLING

Hi,
Apps are neither downloading nor installing from market.... The bar keeps going forever.... Same problem with amazon app store. Here, they are downloading but not getting installed..... But if I restart the phone twice and try again, 3-4 apps will get installed. Again same story repeats... Does anyone have the same problem?

I had this problem on stock.
To fix it, I went to settings > Apps then I uninstalled the market update (if any) and cleared the cache.
Reboot and try again. Its very frustrating lol.

If that doesn't work, going to Setting -> Applications -> Application Manager and clear data for all the Google programs (don't forget about Talk) and then rebooting the phone fixed it for me. Good luck.
I will try.... Thanks guys

Is there a fast way to clear cache for all apps together?

i had thos exact same issue. i just installed the rom again.
Unistalled the market update..... Apps are installing now... But the market got updated to the new version automatically..... Now should wait and see if apps again will have a problem installing.... Thanks for the help though.... Cache seems to be the problem.....

I ran in to this problem. You need to go through the Ultimate Unbrick and then boot into recovery by holding down both volume buttons, then pressing the power button. Then wipe all user data and then do the cache. After that you should be ok.

There are several apps that clear them all together. I use Quick App Manager. It worked without root on my Inspire. Or if you're rooted, there are several others that will probably work or you could also boot into recovery and wipe cache from there.

Gtg section on rom manager not working

My phone has been completely f'ed all day. So far ive restored 2 times. Ive tried to start all over by downloading infused than installing gb rom (the order in which i did it the first time) but when i go to the gtg section i get a pop up saying contact dev. I than used the roms from my sd card. I flashed infused 1.x.x, it flashed fine but all of atts crap apps were still there. Next i removed voodoo folder and flashed gb rom, that flashed fine, seemed anyway. When my phone rebooted i thought it was all set besides the fact i had no notification pull down and no status tools up top, att apps still present. I did the updated gb non rainbows update when it came out but that wasnt what i just flashed and i have no idea where its at. Im lost and pissed.

Gtg took the links down because people were *****ing about network speeds. So he's trying to fix it. Should be up tomorrow
Nightmare Infuse
This is one reason I don't use ROM Manager - I keep multiple backups of anything that might be important.
Cool, as far as my other issues go with flashing, should i download new roms when the link is up? Not sure why the ones on my sd are so messed up

I just read a post a few pages back.on the dev section where someone had a similar issue. But no i didnt, i never had the option. I booted into recovery and selected rom from my sd card, it did its deal than i selected reboot. Other times ive flashed i recieved a pop up asking if i want to wipe data and such, i didnt get that message.

Nash if u boot in to recovery it doesnt prompt u to wipe dalvik and cache you have to volume rocker down to them wipe both then install the rom. If you download from romanager you get promted and the option to wipe!
hope this helps

It would have helped if I still had roms on my sdcard. After using the unbrick tool a few other things wernt working (app download and gtalk) so I made myself do a system restore...lost everything. Now I'm at the mercy of the devs. Can't wait for the links to be up.

[Q] EaglesBlood's 2.3.7 GingerBread For G2X NO DATA!!!!

Is anyone having this issue? I cant find a fix for it, this is really a great rom if not the BEST!!!
Have you tried a hard reboot? Do you have apn's listed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure that CM7 2.3.7 has the data fix, but try the DragonG2X kernel, which has the APN fix that the cyanogen team came up with, should hopefully fix your problems. If it doesn't, try a clean install with a full wipe and the kernel, if that doesn't work, you might need a new sim card (small chance of that one making a difference), and if that doesn't work, you have no chance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229932
Yes I have tried doing a hard reboot, flashing the rom again and wiping everything and it still has no data. Also i have flashed an older rom and it still has the problem, and I know its not the sim card or my phone because with other roms it works perfectly, its a shame because i really liked that rom.
no i dont have apn's listed
Try the kernel mentioned above.
And put your phone number in settings<call settlings<additional settings
I've seen that fix the apn issue for some.

Sorry for the question but how can I flash a rom? Via clockworkmod, installing from SD card?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I think you mean kernel right? If so, yes, thru cwm like a rom. Wipe cache and dalvik before flashing it the fix permissions before reboot.

Yes that's what I meant hahaha, OK will try it!!!

Try this, flash the tmobile recovery first, then boot into the phone. Wipe from settings, privacy, wipe the sdcard box or whatever... let it do its thing, until it reboots after the part when android flys up, pull the battery, then flash clockwork recovery, wipe everything again, then flash what you need, wipe data, pull battery, flash stock tmobile recovery, then hold down volume down and power until it wipes it's own, let it load, then flash back the recovery of your choise if needed... everything should work after this. I notice that if I don't do these steps, my use up memory after flashing any rom is pass 260, but when I do these steps, its at around 160mb

[Q] i727 Boot Loop.

Hello. Basically I tried installing mohan_kr's ATT-SGH-I727-UCMC1-STOCK-odexed-cwm.zip onto my Skyrocket i727 and it gets as far as half-way into the Rethink Possible screen, freezes, then reboots. Then continues to do that until it just stops and shuts the phone down entirely. Before installing I formatted /system, wiped data/factory reset and wiped the cache partition but it only results in a boot loop. This was all done with ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I tried searching but the only thing related turned out to be a stuck power button, which this isn't.
If I remember right, the recovery you're using is old as dirt. Am I right?

Ya pretty much haha. My friend, who's had a lot more experience with androids than I have, installed it along with gingerbread so we could just update straight from there with CWM to jelly bean 4.1.2 but now every rom I try gets stuck in a boot loop. Is there a way to upgrade CWM without an active OS?

Grab an updated recovery from here, load it onto your memory card, enter recovery, Install Zip from External SD, flash.
Just download the latest recovery and install using Odin, after that you can try flashing the ROM.. Mohan's ROM will work like a charm...
Ended up using the flashable version of TWRP 2.5.0.0 and installed it with CWM. Was up and running in no time thanks for the replies!

[Q] Boot looped

Hello, hello. I am running my SGS3 on Liquid Smooth 4.2.x
I downloaded a game today. It stalled on install, so I went to reboot my phone. I am bootlooped on the "Liquid Smooth" splash screen. What do I need to do to fix my stuff? I am hoping I can just go into TWRP and wipe cache and not have to go through the whole process of putting my rom back on. Just wanted an expert opinion before I go too crazy.
Thanks for the help.
Try wiping cache & dalvich cache in recovery. Otherwise, you might need to reflash

I had to. It would not shut down any other way. It booted up the 4th time. But the graphics get really laggy. Very goofy.
