Hello all sifu, just one quick question, can we unroot back gingerbread for warranty purpose?

my SGT bricked after a failed firmware upgrade via Kies few days ago...

my case is pretty similar to klwong's posted back in Jan'11 (http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1731804/+60) where i can't start my SGT as the screen stucked at the "phone --!-- computer" screen

i have tried Benny's trick in Post #2 Q1 (resetting Galaxy Tab with Hardware Keys)
Result : tab started and stucked at screen "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE" instead of going to downloading screen

i then read a post says wait until the TAB discharged
Result : tried discharging for 2 day and restart... when connect to wall plug, it shows "phone --!-- computer" screen again !!

before my next attempt on Benny's trick on Post #4 Q15, my SGT is not charging anymore...

my SGT's latest statuses/symptoms are :
- once wall plug charge, a "phone --!-- computer" screen appear on-and-off ("on" for 8 seconds then "blank" for 16 seconds, keeps repeating)
- whole screen gone "blank" once unplugged (within the 8 seconds time of "on" menitioned above)
- tried charging for hourssss, still no good
- hardware reset While wall plug is on, "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE" appear and gone in split second

i have searched through the net and forums for the past 2 days but can't find any similar case, could it be hardware (battery) problem ?
as i am working overseas and all my warrantee stuffs are back in M'sia, die lorrrrr...

appreciated if anyone can help...

First of all dont panic. Reading your posts your tab xan be revived
charge it for 4 hours

then jyst follow my guide in rom section how to revive tab using rotohammer jme
when you switch on tab you might see phone-computer logo thus is good meanibg you are in download mode and can be flash. Jyst connect the tab in such a condition launch odin. As ling as you see connected you are safe

Benny, glad to received your prompt reply

i hv charged it for 5 hrs lastnight but can't get it started this morning, i then charged for about 4 hrs again, still no good...
will charge overnight tonight and hopefully i can switch it on tomorrow morning...

btw, is there a way to charge + data trasmission at the same time ?
if i can't get my SGT charged, i can't flash vis odin

Can this tablet be updated to v3.1 honeycomb?

Officially no honeycomb
unofficialy at xda there is a rom based on it but plenty bugs
actually having use hc 3.1 on my iconia nothing great or exciting in it. It is an os you will not die for .

Ya, I don't quite see the benefit of running HC on our Tabs, if ever a stable non-Samsung one is available. Have not experienced anything super-impressive when I payed with HC tablets currently available at shops, other than thinking, 'damn, too big la, cannot slide into my manbag'..

guys is the official gingerbread update available already? I can't seem to find anything related to it in the front page and i saw the latest post u guys talked about updating

yes got official update tru samsung kies
since got problem updating tru kies
most of us update it tru odin
which ofcourse using overcome rom hermes.

The Overcome ROM 3.0.0 Icarus is live.

Check out the details at www.teamovercome.net.

i already on hermes
but decided to do the full -shebang thingy
would that be ok.
rite

i know that i can use the nowipe.zip file.

Yay!!

Full shebang thingy? If you mean restock according to the guide, then by all means! That's actually our recommended process!

I must say a very impressive achievement by the Overcome team on Icarus 3.0

I have been staying away from ver 2.0 and 2 RC1 as it was just too buggy. I have been using 1.6.4 which is an excellent rom, with virtually no bugs

Have been on Icarus 3.0 for the past 6 hours

Being lazy i just restore everything thro titanium bsackup all my apps which were backup on 1.6.4. Very efficient restore with no force closures. This is something unseen of in previous version of 2.0 - then I need to delete, clear data and reinstall some problematic apps

I have never tried Hermes but i find no browser lag at all in this version 3.0 . Most important the old issues of cursor inaccuracy n jumping off screen, display view disappear while typing when posting and replying in lowyat forums was completely solved. This was the killer point when using 2.0 and 2RCi - I gaveup posting/replying at LY forums when on it. Such issues were also in 1.6.4 but manageable. This problem is now solve in ver 3.0 - I have been posting/replying LY forums for the past few hours on my Tab ; must say the keyboard is close to perfect on default browser, Dolphin HD and Opera

My immediate impression is very good vs previous 2.0RC1. My congrats to you guys for getting it done so well

Have laso tested most of my commonly used apps - no issues at all ; not even one force closure

EXCELLENT and a job very well done

For upgraders , do flash the stock GB v4 than only flash the Icarus zip through recovery. Your internal SD card contents will be wiped clean - so backup all important stuffs first. I selected JPZ modem - working fine

1more thing
for hermes
no need to do this bootloader thing since its already done from overcome team rite?

If you're from any gingerbread roms from XDA, then no-need to do the bootloader routine

Not sure about the latest Asian Gingerbreads.... never tested them. Never really a stock person myself. ;-)
