Ups.... read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507894
....and be sure to run sdk as administrator. Good luck!
(in worst case: if you don't manage to restore it yourself, Samsung service will probably fix it for you for few bucks)

Ha, ha - cool, sometimes it is easier than it seems to be. I know that trick with the cable from experience with my own Tab, look I've just posted it few days ago to one guy:

Cool place, still nice there, just walked nearby it today
Just one hint (regarding your signature): I've also been running my Tab on CM10.1.1 until yesterday, but now the new build of CM10.2 (nightly 20130826 flashed) seems to work great. Try if you like the idea. The battery life was never a problem with the p5110, but on my phone (i9000) CM10.2 gives me about double battery life that the CM10.1.1 ever could.

Honestly, I didn't try any of those ROMs. I've liked on the CyanogenMod that just everything worked stable and stuck there.... (except Trebuchet launcher which was crappy, but installing of Apex launcher solved all the problems)
I would appreciate to get your opinion, if you can compare the other ROMs to the CM10.2
Cheers, mate

So why havent you returned it yet? Try factory reset and/or flashing another dtockrom.

I've already flashed heaps of stock roms onto it. And the device runs fine when it boots up, so I do not see the need to return it, it's just kind of annoying.
If its faulty then it is usual to return an item .
But if you are prepared to live with the fault that's your choice .
Flashing loads of stock roms = not a firmware problem .

Interesting. Could you get a part number for me?
... but as far as your problem, I wouldn't sweat it. All it appears to be is a mismatched boot image logo to your screen's resolution and depth. I'd look to finding a "logo.bin" (or equivalent) online somewhere, but if I'm right this is truly a cosmetic issue, and one you'll hardly ever see anyway.

The part number on the back of the keyboard is: EKD-K14AWEGSTD. And yeah I hardly ever see that boot logo, I only ever see it when I enter recovery mode or if I reboot my device, so it is not a big deal.

Haha, I wish it was the Samsung Million Dollar Sweepstakes screen. Anyway it does not really bother me that much, because I rarely turn off my device.
Found fix:
Hello all,
I've pulled the latest file from KIES and placed it here:
http://www.peejeshare.com/files/363...RCMA3_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.rar.html
It is compressed into a rar file so you will need to unzip it prior to odin.
I flashed the file using mobile odin and it worked well for me.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if this bricks your tablet!
Enjoy!

I'm not 100% sure, because it was a Christmas present. My Mum only said it came with the Tablet.... Not sure if the price of the Tablet was $100 higher because of the keyboard or if it was free, and I'm not going to ask for the price of it. Because well, it is a Christmas present .

[Q] Help/advice if it is possible. Thanks

Hello. I had my i9003 rooted since 9 months ago and it works perfectly.
Like 3 weeks ago I updated the firmware trough the phone updating tool and the problems started:
-Battery started to last only 3 hours.
So I tried to find a kernel and a rom to solve it.
I installed thefrankestain mod and the bam kernel and it started to turn off suddenly all the time. I freaked out and I try to find "the most stable rom" in forums... finally I found a gingerbread 2.3.6 firmware with recovery and I use it
I have this data:
firmware version
2.36
base
I9003XXLE4
kernel
2.6.35.7-CL1143078 [email protected] 156 #1
compilation number
GINGERBREAD.XWLF2
I calibrated the battery and all that stuff and the phone keeps turning off when I use an app more than 5 minutes!! I hate that.
I don't even know how that data mean (my phone data), I know I am a noob and a loser as I have just watch in the xda video but I will be glad if someone give some thoughts of what is happening to my phone, if it is any solution and
if anyone recomend me any kernel/rom combination that avoid my problem. (links will be helpful as well)
Maybe it's your battery that has gone bad. Is you battery swollen? Can you put it on a flat surface and see if you can rotate is easily?

[Q] Most Recent Methods?

I just acquired a Samsung Infuse so am entirely new to this phone, have rooted it so far via SuperOneClick, but am not having issues determining the best method of acquiring CWM so as to flash some new ROMS.
there are a number of threads i found through searching the forums but all of them seem to be quite old (2011). one of them i tried and it did not work, i got an e-signature failed error of some kind and couldn't find any solid information about how to get around that.
for someone who is brand new to this phone and disgruntled with the performance of 2.3.3, what would be the best method to utilize to get CWM to get a good ROM on this thing?
Thanks in advance

Great Question -- Great answer - keep it clean . Option C
thanks alot fellas, i appreciate the generous replies. i hadn't seen this one anywhere yet and it looks to be pretty straight forward so i'll try it out and let you know if i have any other questions! cheers
You guys are lifesavers. Is there a ROM any of you would recommend to load straight on the phone easily now that I have rooted GB 2.3.6 with the red CWM??
Looking forward to not having to deal with the brutal battery life and laggy response of 2.3.3! :laugh:
Yeah u can flash all the ROM over 2.3.6 thru CWM, But just keep in mind if u want JB then u have to flash ICS first the JB.
There are many many good GB roms with good battery life i will not name them just flash and see which suits u the most.

hey rkkaranrk, thanks for the help. i want to flash entropy's CM9 so that i can move up to BeanStalk, but the download mirrors are broken. Is there another ICS rom anyone can recommend? Most of the ICS roms i'm seeing are actually just themed GB roms...
thanks again.
EDIT: nevermind got the cm9 download working. will try that and then hopefully flash beanstalk.

well i figured id update here as everyone's been such a big help and i really went through a heck of a process trying to get things back to a working state.
from CM9 i attempted to flash SlimBean and then got stuck in a boot loop. from there, i made the terrible mistake of panicking and trying to flash back to CM9, which seemed like it worked until i got stuck in a boot loop again. i panicked further and tried to flash all the way back to stock GB 2.3.6 which just messed everything up and i bricked it. could not get into download mode, nothing. i realize how stupid all of my mistakes were but thats what learning is about LOL.
finally today i uninstalled all versions of KIES, reinstalled latest version of java, used a different (non-front panel) usb port, with a brand new usb cable (one of my quality ones from a branded charger vs. the cheap one i was using previously). finally got ODIN to recognize my phone and flashed tue UCLB3 Unbrick w/ Root and it worked like a charm.
so i'm going to start again and try to work my way more carefully up to the top haha. thanks again for all the help guys, really appreciate the great infuse community here :good:

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1 htc one s ville c2 lockscreen problem

Good day to everyone!
So, today i have managed to flash cm10.1 for my phone (htc one s ville c2, it the s3 model). It worked fine for the first hour or so. I have installed all my old apps through playstore and then i decided to reboot my phone! So I rebooted it...From that time, I' m experiencing a problem.Everytime the screen locks (turns off) either by it's own or by me (by pressing the power button), when i press again the power button so it can be turned on again, it delays about 10 seconds to do so.
In a line: When I try to unlock my sleeping phone, it delays to wake up for about 10-30 seconds.
Please if you have an idea that might work let me know!
Anyone?

I looked through that thread and you are not the only one to complain about it. Some others said it happened occasionally.
If it persisted I personally would flash a different rom or reflash that one.

The battery life on 10.2 is pretty good in my opinion. I get through the day without any problems even with H+ activated and moderate usage.
That's good to hear! But I have the htc one s ville c2 that's the s3 cpu version! I don't think that the cm10.2 is available for my device! Do you happen to know anything about it?
Edit: I found the rom and I will give it a try possibly in a couple of days to see if the upgrade deserves the try!!
Edit: I found the thread for the rom but I can't find the download link for the 10.2...

[Q][SOLVED] GALAXY Tab 2 10.1 P5100 zip flashing problem

Hi People! Greetings from the Philippines.
I've been having this problem since I first started using custom roms on my GALAXY TAB 2 10.1 (P5100). When flashing some zip files for p5100, (using philz touch recovery) it shows this(or something like this) : "the zip is for espresso10rf this is espresso10wifi." Which means that it detects my device as p5110 i suppose, so, i then installed the zip for p5110, it succeeded. But, my tablet lost its 3g capabilities after installing the zip. . And, worst part is, i use my tablet for calling and texting. So, without the capabilities, the tablet practically has no use for me. My question is, why does this happen and how do you fix it?
Oh, and let me add more details.
-error showed when trying to flash cyanogenmod (ALL VERSIONS) for p5100 (3g)
-also showed when trying to flash dhollmen kernel for p5100.
-right now, i'm using stock p5100 rom version 4.2.2
-also i'm using stock dhollmen kernel forp5110. (It's now faster and has less lag, but, it doesnt have any 3g capabilities.)
I KNOW THIS IS MY FIRST POST, BUT PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. :good::good::good:

I think you have flashed a P5110 recovery instead of P5100. And you probably need to flash a P5100 kernel or just a different ROM. SlimKat and OmniRom are both good choices as far as smoothness and stability.
