MultiCSC OXXJK2 - Asian MultiCSC

ok i know, another attempt to learn something from seniors:
Just downloaded the 'GT-P1000-CSC-MULTI-OXXJK2.tar.md5 *' from samfirmware.com attempt to flash asian multicsc and after unzipping, see the tar.md5 extension and feel something have to do with the 'signed' thingy every one now fear of.
This tar.md5 contains 3 files: cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs & moveinand.mst
May i know will i face problem if i flash this csc with Roto's JME firmware?

I just try flashed my tab to the newest asian rom == ZHKA1 with the CSC u mentioned .....
After reboot.......
Do u think I being signed?
HA...HA....HA....
It still unsigned and can flash any rom I like..
I just test it with SGT bootloader check..!!!
So, just go on, without this CSC, the tab even can't boot!!!!!
MY FIRST FLASH in Galaxy TAB...

the mentioned CSC didnt work with Roto's JME flash which i applied to my SGT. Odin1.7 reported checksum not right or something like that and halt the flash. so i am using CPW from JME multiCSC that came with Roto's.
I will try when gingerbread 2.3 is ready for SGT. btw, you're from HK/China to use that ZHKA1?

I from Hong Kong, haven't flash Roto JPE before as it have protected bootloader issue.
Just follow the guide of Chainfire to asure the ROM is safe before flash. I think your tab have be protected as the post stated by Chainfire.

he....he.... "Fus" mean what??
I am not expert, just share my experience to see if it helpful.
When I 1st flash I9000, I lost much thing, like APN (can't use 3G), CSC code( no Samsung Apps to download, market link, can't use KIES to update offical rom, IMEI no), and some app which need password and username as I forgot that anyway. So try to backup everything is the must before you flash, as mentioned by Rotohammer and Chainfire.
Go to your APN setting and write down everything for u to get your 3G connection.
Use Z4Root to root your device and make a full backup with "Titianium Backup".
Use SGS tools to backup ur product code, something like nv_data.bin etc.
Use root explorer to copy the /efs
Use Chainfire root if u can to make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, it is highly recommended in case your TAB being bricked can easily recover to the current stage without pain.
after everything backuped, copy all the file to your computer or external SD card and remember to unmount it.
Flash is simple , backup is painful but MUST do if u don't want to post "my TAB is bricked, help me pls" in the forum. (In actual case , it is really difficult for u to brick your TAB or I9000 permenant if u are not a developer like Chainfire as they always try to make something experimental on the phone that why they are so respective!
Flash procedure:
1. stop the KIES running in your computer, (front or background running is not allowed), terminate it by task manager of window if u don't know how.
2. start the Odin v1.7
click the re-partition box, click the pit and choose p1.pit, click the PDA and choose the ROM file u want to flash,in me case is KA1, which should with .tar as extension, click the CSC and choose the CSC u want to use.
3. power off you TAB , remove SIM and SDcard, press the volume down and the power buttons together for a few seconds, a nice yellow android robot appear on the skin, release the buttons and connect to the computer asap.
4. the Odin window will appear a yellow box if it detect the phone, then click the start button.
5. everything will go on automatically , no need to do anything and pls don't, be patient . The whole process of flashing about 3 to 7 minutes, then the TAB reboot to fresh new ROM.
p.s. if any thing go wrong or missing berfore u connect the phone to computer, just close all restart again, do not click any thing not mentioned. If the phone hv any problem long press the power button for 8 second will reboot. if u failed (odin will tell u), and see "phone-!-computer" ,just re- start the odin again and plug in the phone, u will see the yellow box and click start , the flashing process wil restart once again.
hope helpful. ;-)

Out of interest, do you use this Linux shell command ?
#mount -o loop factoryfs.rfs /mnt/rfs
On Mac OS X terminal I normally use the following commands, but I don't think modifications can be written back to the RFS archive:
#sudo mkdir /Volumes/rfs
#sudo hdiutil attach -imagekey diskimage-class=CRawDiskImage -nomount factory.rfs
#sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk{n} /Volumes/rfs
I use Ubuntu for most of my Android hacking, so I guess I will also start using Linux to look inside RFS archives, and to modify them directly

[SPRINT] Sprint Tablet Owners Thread (Root, ROM, Flash to stock, CWM Recovery)

UPDATES STOPPED: MORE IN-DEPTH THREAD POSTED OVER IN DEVELOPMENT FORUM WITH UPDATED INFORMATION.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031
There have been a number of threads regarding working with the Sprint tablet. Due to the lack of support for it, I've complied various items from all across the information tubes to help your get the full use of your Sprint tablet.
I've compiled the instructions from various sources across the internet. If I've failed to reference an item, let me know and I'll correct it.
Something to keep in mind - Heimdall and Odin use different drivers. You WILL NEED to swap between them each time you swap programs. It's unfortunate, but it's necessary.
Flash back to stock (EA24) with Odin
1) Download the files from here
2) Open Odin, and select PDA
3) Choose the appropriate .tar file.
4) Make sure repartition is UNCHECKED!
5) Press start.
6) When the process is finished, the Odin program will say Pass, then Reset.
Install Gingerbread on your Tab
1) Download this file
2) Rename it to update
3) Place it on the root of your SD Card (not in a folder)
4) Boot into recovery and choose "apply update.zip"
Install Rooted Gingerbread on your Tab
1) Download the rooted GB file.
2) Open Odin, and select PDA
3) Choose the appropriate .tar file.
4) Make sure repartition is UNCHECKED!
5) Press start.
6) When the process is finished, the Odin program will say Pass, then Reset.
Root your Sprint Galaxy Tab on FROYO
1) Download SuperOneClick
2) Enable USB Debugging
3) Connect your Tab to the PC
4) Run SuperOneClick
5) Select Root
6) You're rooted!
If you're on Gingerbread, see this thread
Heimdall (needed to flash kernel with CWM)
1) Download Heimdall and unzip
2) Download Microsoft C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
3) Put the Tab in download mode (Vol Down + Power)
4) Connect it to your PC
5) Navigate to your Heimdall folder and run zadig.exe
6) Choose Options>List all devices>Samsung USB Composite Device
7) You'll receive a prompt about the driver, accept to install.
Kernel with CWM Recovery for FROYO
1) Download the zip file here
2) Unzip the file. You will need the file named zimage only.
3) Open Heimdall Frontend
4) Select Browse under Kernel and navigate to the file you downloaded in step 1 and select it
5) Press Start
6) The Tab will reboot, but will freeze on the Samsung logo. Turn it off and boot into recovery (Vol Up + Power)
7) CWM Recovery will attempt to back your tab up, but will fail. Don't fret.
8) Do a factory reset in CWM Recovery and reboot
9) You'll freeze on the Samsung logo again Turn it off and boot into recovery.
10) CWM Recovery will back your Tab up successfully.
11) You now have a CWM backup. Reboot.
12) Your auto rotate is broken.
13) Download the rotation file
14) Put it in /system/lib/hw and change the permissions to match the other items.
Heimdall/CWM instructions compiled and cleaned up from here
Flashing ROMs
1) Keep in mind that the dev may suggest a specific kernel. See kernel instructions (step 1-5 above)
2) Put the ROM .zip file on the root of your SD Card
3) Choose install .zip from SD Card in CWM Recovery
4) Select the ROM .zip file
ROMs for the Sprint Galaxy Tab
1) Honeycomb - in early stages (Dev - spacemoose)
2) Better than Life - FROYO (Dev - oldmacnut)
3) Future Echoes - GB - (Dev - oldmacnut)
4) MIUI Port - (Dev - oldmacnut)
Finally, each of these steps involves the potential of rendering your device useless. Take care with each step. If you're not 100% comfortable with the process, post your questions. Hopefully, other Sprint owners will take note of the thread and use it.

I rooted a couple weeks ago and finally flashed cwm the other day, i wish this had been posted then! Nice job.

question, when i install cwm when i turn on usb mode it shows up as a cd rom on my pc, is that normal?

From what i've read, that is a known side effect, it happened to me too. Also my camera and screen auto rotation are broken. I know there's a solution to the screen rotation issue, but still looking for the solutions for the other two issues.

I don't know about the camera, because I never use mine. Ill try to do some research on it.
If I remember correctly, it seems that spacemoose1 had a fix for the cd rom issue. Might wanna try posting in that thread. If you get an answer, bring it back over here and ill include it in the first post.

Reflash the stock kernel.

Thanks so much for this topic. A lot of Sprint-centric instructions have been scattered around the forums and consolidating it in one place is enormously helpful.
Thanks!

update fail

I tried manualy updating my I9000 to gingerbread through odin. the update fail however and now kies wont reccognise my phone. when i try to boot the phone it show a picture with a phone, a pc and an exclamation mark. what should i do?

Since u can see that pc icon means u can get into download mode also... Ie volume down + home + power... Now see that biggest file frm ur download ie pda/code......tar has the boot.bin and sbl.bin files... If yes just reflash it again... If now download sme othr gingerbread version with those two files and flash... just search for ramads thread in this section...

I mean this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881

thank you. i was trying to find that thread lol. Is going from eclair to gingerbread going to work or not? trying to find what the problem was.

If you're going between major versions you should do a factory reset (clear the /data section) as your apps may work differently and take advantage of new features. Not doing a factory reset may cause certain apps to FC.
Should work going straight from E to G though.

cheers guys. got everything working now.

Hi, may i know what happen if i can't go into download mode? But i still have the pc image.
Any solution?

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. i think i have finaly ****ed up my phone. my dad accidently turned off my pc while i was flashing a galnet miui build with heimdall. i got into download mode but had to go out. when i came back my battery was dead and i cant charde the phone or get it into download mode. Any suggestions ?
edit: got it into download mode but odin doesnt recognise it

Try this:
prerequisite : the tools I used will only work on linux, so get yourself a ubuntu, or run one using virtual machine on windows, also install java (running sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre should be enough).
download UnBrickable Ressurector, code . google . com/p/hummingbird-hibl/downloads/list -> this is the reason for ubuntu only
run the downloaded jar file using sudo (it need root permission to run properly).
remove your phone battery, plug the usb cable in (connected to your computer), then reinsert your phone battery
now you have about 2s windows of opportunity to click that "Perform Ressurection" button.
wait and your phone should now be in download mode.
now this download mode is a bit weird.. if you unplug the usb cable, the phone will go straight back to the blank screen, and you have to do the whole process all over again.. which is why, we're going to reflash and fixed the phone using heimdall. the flashing process is a bit different with odin, here's how :
download heimdall www glassechidna com au/products/heimdall/ and the frontend
open it using sudo (sudo heimdall-frontend)
extract the rar files you got here, and you will get 3 tar.md5 files.
extract all those files, BUT make sure that you extract the csc files LAST, also choose OK when you're asked to overwrite. you will get 8 files
now we're going to download the correct pit file : in heimdall choose the "utilities" tab, click on "detect", and it should print out "device detected". click save as, choose a name (don't need to put .pit as part of its name), and click download
switch to "flash" tab, then browse for the created pit file. the "add" button should be enabled now.
now you need to add all the extracted files one by one and it has to be in the correct partition name, here's the list :
kernel -> zImage
IBL + PBL -> boot.bin
CACHE -> cache.rfs
dbdatafs -> dbdata.rfs
factoryfs -> factoryfs.rfs
modem -> modem.bin
param -> param.lfs
SBL -> Sbl.bin
hit start, and the flashing should start. if all goes well, your phone should boot normally now

Rooting Xolo Q700S after beta 4.4.2 update

So the brilliant gentlemen at xolo have graciously provided us with a spectacular (albeit slightly buggy) update to android 4.4.2 kitkat for our xolo Q700S.
While this has a lot of advantages it lacks a clean and simple rooting method like framaroot or towelroot.
However, there is a slightly complex rooting method available to root our Q700S.
Our brothers with the Q1010i rooted their 4.4.2 devices with a method mentioned here
I just used the method given there and adapted it for our device. If any credit need be given they are owed to the original devs for porting and testing.
So lets get rooting!
1) Download Smartphone drivers for MTK devices from link given here ,unzip and.
- click install.bat
- if that doesn't work : run device management (run> devmgmt.msc). Turn off phone and plug in. Find MT65xx preloader. Update drivers. Browse local harddrive for drivers. Navigate to folder where you unzipped the drivers /SmartPhoneDriver/x86 or x64/infs. That should install drivers.
2) Download SP flashtool for windows from link given here.
3) Download CTR recovery for Q700s ported by tarun from this link
-best if you rename it to recovery.img
4)Download Scatter File for our device. (if it throws an error download scatter file from the attachments)
5) Download SuperSU by chainfire.
- rename to update.zip
- copy to root of sdcard.
Now ensure that you have a proper usb cable, wits, a strong nerve and basic knowledge of how to unbrick a phone if something goes wrong.
All boxes checked? Lets proceed.
>Run SP Flashtool
>Click Scatter-loading
>Select the .txt scatter file
>in the now visible options check only RECOVERY and double click the long empty green bar in the same row. Load recovery.img
>click DOWNLOAD on the top
>turn off phone and connect to PC.
>wait for bar on the bottom to go from red to yellow and then pop-up with download OK.
>now press vol+ and power and boot to recovery
>install.zip from sdcard
>let SuperSu install.
>reboot device (if it shows warning that may lose root access press no)
let android boot up!
if you did everything right then you have a rooted android 4.4.2 xolo q700S on your hands.
have fun!

Looking for kernel patch
It is indeed a great post and that'll gonna be helping people but I have a issue with Kernel or to say the root of this device, I have been using link2SD with JB with my sd card having a ext2 format but since I have moved to KK, it seem to have bugging me out all the way,
I can mount my sd card with ext4 but its useless and doesnt let me move my apps to 2nd partion as internal, eventhough I can use ext3 format which ends up with an error at mounting with unsupported transport end point, the reason made me to look for a kernel patch, I believe you'll try this and will be able to resolve for following readers and well thank you for this one.

It is indeed a great post and that'll gonna be helping people but I have a issue with Kernel or to say the root of this device, I have been using link2SD with JB with my sd card having a ext2 format but since I have moved to KK, it seem to have bugging me out all the way,
I can mount my sd card with ext4 but its useless and doesnt let me move my apps to 2nd partion as internal, eventhough I can use ext3 format which ends up with an error at mounting with unsupported transport end point, the reason made me to look for a kernel patch, I believe you'll try this and will be able to resolve for following readers and well thank you for this one.
Looking for a kernel that adds ext2 support.

Please try Aparted and make both partition as FAT32 & Primary than install Link2SD as a fresh app and it will ask to choose second partition type than select option FAT16/FAT32, It will ask for reboot it will work after that.

Simple way to flash Kitkat & root it (no need to flash stock recovery, use cwm):
1.Download 392.8 mb update.zip (here: http://d-h.st/MfB)
2.Unzip it, goto META-INF/com/google/android and replace the 'updater-script' with the one attached.
3. Now zip it back, and flash it with cwm, carliv etc...
4.To root it, download & flash SuperSu via cwm (here: http://goo.gl/OSKQRQ)

Okay,you have to download the firmware version for your country,and have custom recovery installed on the phone.
So if you in UK,download the rom for your phone from UK provider.(doesnt matter if its JB or KK)
http://www.ztedevices.com/support/index.html
Once you have the rom,Use winRAR to do the following:
1.open the rom from your country in winrar so you can see the contents.
2.Open system folder (dont extract,just navigate into the folders in winrar)
3.Open "etc" folder
4.Open Firmware folder
5.Select "modem_1_wg_n.img" and extract it(i just drag and drop on desktop)
6.Open the Kitkat firmware you've downloaded using winRAR
7.Open System folder
8.Open "etc" folder
9.Open Firmware folder
10. Copy the "modem_1_wg_n.img" into that location(drag and drop from desktop)
11.winRAR asks if you want to :Add/Replace file/s? Select Yes or OK to allow it to
12.copy entire firmware to phone and reflash it on the phone from the SD card
I dont know if you can just replace the modem file after having loaded the firmware.I didnt try or test it.it may or may not work.
I am working on Custom Firmware for this phone though.
latest achievement was i managed to get the phone to see the SD card as phone storage thanks to various xda guides.this will be built in
FIrmware should be ready in a few days after testing.if anybody is interested in trying it out,let me know

problem solved...
Thank you sir...problem solved...it's really hard to be a noob...have to understand a lot of things now....I'm willing to try your firmware on my phone...upload it when done...keep up the good work...sorry for my english...

Post has been updated

I need to talk to you.... Go read my PM

installation is always aborted.. PLEASE HELP

Replied

Thanks
The thread is so useful... Keep up the good work, I don't have patience to try the new ROM!
Is there any chance for kernel supporting overclocking and undervoltage, also with more Gvernor and I/O Sheduler options?
Also Would be gorgeous if there's tap screen to wake option, this would need custom kernel too...
I'm now using DeviRSilva's kernel, which is doing great! Man, don't be afraid to relese it and continue tweaks
Still I'm a noob and maybe half of theese wishes are impossible, but would be so cool if they're possible to develop!
PD: I saw a site promoting Lollipop ROM for our L2 is that real?
PD2: Sorry for my awful English and probably stupid requests and questions...

helpppp
I have probelm, phone do not show sim card, on official site there is no serbia rom please how to fix it?
