[Q] Flickering screen after bootloader flash - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Forgive if there are similar threads about this topic.
I suffered from scrolling cwm so i tried this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41
It worked excellent but when i lock my screen and unlock it again it starts flickering like shown in this video: http://youtu.be/P6fMxjFdpJE
I have tried to do factory resets both from recovery and flash an original firmware. Nothing works.
Is it possible to get this fixed or am i screwed?

I just wanted to say the same. Flash the kernel from pershoot website, it should fix it.

Thank you very much. I will try this when i get home from work.

It doesn´t work for me.
But I dont use 3G anyway so can I just go with P7510 firmware which works?

When you tried the fix noted above, I assume the screen didn't roll when you rebooted then into CWM recovery. At that point did you flash a ROM and THEN reboot to find the flicker after locking the screen, or did you do a reboot back into the same stock HC after flashing the bootloader and experience the problem?
I'm contemplating flashing this same bootloader because I have a rolling CWM5.5.0.4 right now and I want to stabilize it - but just so that I can root...not thinking about a ROM just yet...

Just to inform you all, i also had to flash a different bootloader after installing cm9 on my p7511, wich is in fact a 7510. For the records, pershoot made the new bootloader for exactly that issue, not backwards. But seems to work also.
What i deal now with, is that after flashing the uk ics for p7510 to my tab, the stock recovery doesn't recognize my sdcard. Can't mount sdcard...
Could be that a repartitioning with pit file will be necessary afterwards for us all.
Edit: thanks to the wise help of msedek, i know by now that my hind was totaly wrong. My mentioned point has to do with the Changes within stock recovery of ics, which have been made to prevent changes from there.

Getting more confident..
OK so it is sounding like this is definitely better. One more question:
I'm following the stickied root guide in General and that method uses CWM 4.0.0.4...I had reflashed that version. If I want to flash this boot loader should I flash 5.5.0.4 first? Or does it matter if I'm just trying to root right now?
EDIT: Flashed the bootloader which straightened out the recovery!! Successfully rooted after that. Downloaded root apps (ROM manager/Titanium/etc). Then turned off my screen - FLICKER CITY!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738 <<< THIS fixed it. Load this kernel into the root of your tablet and flash it with CWM. Seems to have done the trick nicely and I'm exploring my newly rooted tab! My wife no longer wants to kill me either.

What ROM or firmware are you running? What exactly have you done with the device up to this point? Are you 3G or WiFi? Need more detail...

I have the same problem on my P7500 3G and the minute i load the bootloader to fix CWM recovery rolling i get the screen flickering after lock screen.
Rom: ICS 4.0.4
Build Number: IMM76D.XXLQ8
BaseBand7500XXlQ8
Kernel: 3.1.10

Still stuck.
Hi guys,
Gtab 10.1 Wifi here. Fix didn't worked, somehow...
After installing official ics from Samsung and rooted, i had the same insane flicker issue. I followed this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738 - , flashed new kernel, and now i cant pass Samsung Galaxy Tab logo for some reason, not even past half an hour.
Im in a dead end, even tried installing back CM9 but it also wont pass the splashing blue screen.
Any ideas?
cheers!
EDIT : After some reboots, finally managed to boot into ICS (CM9) but now i was pushed back to the step 1, where I don't have a working camera, but I have root access and non official ICS from Cyanogen. I am afraid re-doing all my work and get stuck again in the scrambled screen after it updates the kernel..
I'm I missing something, guys?

Hi there!
Are you still having problems?does this guide here work for you?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984
I've found something,the kernel flash package changes our devices' WiFi driver,that's why it doesn't work.
sorry for not giving a fix until tomorrow,it's sleep time here,I know my excuse will be accepted because you all care for basic human needs...
But please inform me if that guide(Pershoot's) has fixed your problem,thanks for that

[Q] Wierd Recovery screen after CWM installation

Hi All,
Hope you are well. I just flashed the CWM recovery to a locked tab using ODIN, and upon doing POWER + VOL(-) and getting into the recovery, for some reason the screen with all the menu to do wipes/install just seems to be scrolling all over the place.
When I re-flash the stock recovery back using ODIN, the screen is fine again. Tried both 4.0.0.4 and also the 3.2.0.1 versions, with not much luck.
Has anyone had a similar incident? Is there anything I can do? I wanted to try and flash my custom boot.img.
Thanks heaps in advance!!!.
Hi Folks,
Hope you are well - wasn't sure if anyone has come across this - but anyone seen the Recovery mode flickering / scrolling when flashed on a locked Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Thanks again!
I'm using CWM 4.0.0.4 on my locked P7510, works as intended.

Thanks yqed,
For some reason when I have CWM 4.0.0.4, and when I reboot into the recovery mode - CWM shows up - but the screen keeps on flickering / scrolling / refreshing all over the place.
I'm wondering if there is something different in my Retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI vs. the others - I bought mine from Korea (retail). Appears that I have kernel version 2.6.36.3 instead of .4 and the build is EH14.
Thanks.

I have a Korean 32Gb wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1, and my CWM Recovery also starts having a seizure when I boot into it. It still seems to be working fine, but it is nearly impossible to use.
I would really like to know what causes this issue.
Thanks limenless,
Anyone seen this before? Anyone know if CWM 5 might potentially fix this - seens some thread with regards to this.
I was going to try and wipe the dalvik cache, and others, but seeing the screen is almost impossible to use in recovery mode, having a bit of difficulty there.
Any advice is much appreciated - if you need dumps and others, happy to provide - as long as I get some instructions...
Thanks.

Did you try CMW 5? Preshoot has a tutorial in the development section, its pretty simple just follow it and I think and hope that your issue would be solved!
Why dont you try taking a picture/screenshot of it, best would be using ddms.bat in the android development kit to take screenshot's , or just a picture would do great. Hard to guess what's going on, when someone mentioned seizure, I pictured Dr.House

Have you tried Overcome's CWM? I'm using that and it's perfectly fine. PS it's the ver 5 release.
PS; For being an epic House fan I shall see to it that you get it worked out
And to top that off, an offlink to the CWM of Overcome http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv
PS: Here's your video, Embedded anyways.
I'm on the same page. My screen flicker after entering CWM recovery mode. Very annoying.
In the development section for 10.1 I was just reading in a thread about a Korean ROM, Pershoot stated something about someones device not being compatible with his kernel. I don't know if either one has to do with the other but I think I read in the same thread of someone having "this problem"
Honestly don't know if anything between this thread and that thread are relevant to each other.
Just thought I'd mention it to see if it helps. sorry if it doesn't apply to anything here.
I somehow fixed it by flashing the tab with an non-HK 3.1 stock ROM using Odlin. then then cwm recovery works fine.
Not really a fix but
You could always just find a pre rooted rom to flash with odin, then once u have the pre rooted rom installed get rom manager and u will no longer have to worry about cwm. Plus u could then flash to whatever rom u need to using rom manager.
My method allows me to have a clear screen in CWM RECOVERY but after I flashed Galaxy Task 14 I get all blurred screen whenever my Tab is resumed from standby. I must set my screen to never turn off to prevent it flickering again.
May I ask which pre rooted ODLIN ROM do you guys recommend? If possible can you please provide the URL to it? I suspect the flickering problem has relation to the harmony between bootloader, kernel etc so I want to use the exact combination you guys are using.

appreciate your help Misledz, 002001-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6 got same result.. my screen still flicker..
I think I will give up on CWM too complicated for me
Can you just give me tips on how to root my tab 10.1 without CWM (if that is possible)

[Q] Motorola Atrix MB861 problems after installing AOKP + Aroma Installer

I just installed this AOKP+Aroma Installer ROM from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580449
And I have NEVER been able to get past the Start-Up screen. It reboots every 30 seconds from the moment I press "Start". Is anybody else having this problem with this ROM as well?
I'm using a Korean Atrix btw, MB861. I would REALLY appreciate the help!
EDIT: Okay, so I've gotten past the start-up screen by skipping everything (setting up time, Google account, etc.) and now I got to the lock screen. Now, if I don't touch the phone at all, it stays on. But once I try to unlock the phone, it is 100% SURE to reboot 30 seconds right after I unlock it. Is there no workaround for this??

I hope you do not mind so many questions ... lol
you have to do a "format / system" is needed .... (in recovery).
then you'll probably lose touch in recovery, proceed with the installation aroma ...
up / down = volume
enter = power button
= capacitive return any key.

I already did that, twice. And still the same problem.
ok .... then try fastboot wipe (it worked for some users).
I get this also with all ics roms but im having bp problems that are probably causing that.. nottach 1.3.1 and darkside stripped down are only reliable,stable roms I can run personally... and even those its only in boot android bp pass mode. Cold boot linux.

In AROMA set Full Wipe, and try to install only one Launcher, and take a look Kernels screen, check your Kernel and select the correct, i think you are trying some FauxKernel try original 1100 or your kernel...
I've tried installing all three of Joker's kernels (1.0, 1.3, 1.45) and still my Atrix goes haywire. I've tried all kinds of installs (Default, Custom, Full Wipe, Non Wipe, etc.) but none have worked. I wanted this ICS ROM so bad! Is there anything I have to do before I flash this ROM again? I've flashed it maybe 10 times or so now.
Which is your Kernel? Try the oders, the firsts 4 Kernels, like 1100 and others, stock kernels.
I don't know if I want to try installing another kernel, because I don't want to brick my Atrix. I've tried looking for kernels that were made for AOKP, but to no avail. Maybe you could give me a link to a good kernel that will work for AOKP? It's been half a day, and I still haven't been able to use my device...
EDIT: I also noticed that I don't have any service, and the backlights for the softkeys aren't lighting up. So I now have three things to deal with: constant reboot, no service, and softkeys backlights.
you can install rom joker?
I haven't tried installing other ROMs... Do you mean this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445052 I'll be downloading and installing it ASAP. I hope the problem goes away.

I wasn't able to download Joker's ROM, however, I have tried other ROMs, namely Neutrino and the Official CM7 for Atrix. I noticed one thing that both ROMs worked properly, but they didn't have Google Apps pre-installed, so I had to get and install Gapps separately. Then, when I installed the Gapps, that's when the rebooting problem started again. I think my problem has something to do with Google Apps...
I have similar problem when I did install the AOKP from for the first time. It become unstable. I did fastboot to flash the wrapped the phone and install again with (current version is 37a) and it's become quite stable now.

can u still enter recovery mode? if yes, try to clean everything first(dalvic cache..) see if the problem is solved or not...
if not..u will need to reflash new rom and start all over again

The thing with recovery mod is weird.Sometimes I can,sometimes I cannot.But when I can,it can only be a previous version of 6.0.1.2 flashed with odin and not 6.0.1.2.Right now I m trying and I cant get into recovery.I searched the official jellybean 4.1.1 for my country (greece) but cant find it and dont know what to do.:/
hi!
perhaps you had a bad download of V17.1? you may try checking the md5 sum....
i suggest you do a clean install, flash the superwipe for arhd which is found in the OP, and then flash arhd again

The thing with recovery mod is weird.Sometimes I can,sometimes I cannot.But when I can,it can only be a previous version of 6.0.1.2 flashed with odin and not 6.0.1.2.Right now I m trying and I cant get into recovery.I searched the official jellybean 4.1.1 for my country (greece) but cant find it and dont know what to do.:/

I didnt download the file again because I checked it immediately after I downloaded it.When I managed to boot into recovery mod(the older version)I flashed the rom again and my phone booted normally.I think that the problem-my fault-was that I flashed 15.2 over 17.1.I dont know if the problem caused by the older rom or the older kernel or the tweaks but it belongs to past right now.After that,I updated to the latest version of cwm via ROM Manager from PlayStore.

[Q] Bootloop on Galaxy Mega i9205

Help! The phone dropped to the ground once and had a crack on the digitizer and LCD screen. I replaced both of them and now, it is stuck in a boot loop (turns on, stays on splash screen) I've tried flashing the latest firmware thru Odin, but the same thing happens. All I can do on the phone is just getting to the download mode. I can't get to recovery, too.
Did you wiped cache and dalvick before reboot?
Before the first bootloop what did you do(Install an apk? Flash a zip?)? Were you rooted? A custom rom? A stock one?
During Odin did you wait for pass and blue color?
have you seen This? Is that similar for you?

Yes, I did wipe both, I didn't do anything weird except a reboot, not rooted, stock ROM, pass on Odin, not similar to the hard brick problem. I can get to download and recovery mode.
You can go now to recovery mode? Have you retry to flash a rom?
Do you remember last version before and the last you install? Couldn't it be you had try to flash an older version?

hello fellas..this my first post here..im using samsung mega lte,and have a problem after root my phones..cant go recovery mode.couse there have a red text warranty bit kernel and 3more text avove in my screen..just stuck at samsung logo..dont know how to do..there any friend here know how to do?its been a month my phone stuckat the same problem
It seems this issue is a difference in screen compatibility. To fix this, you can turn the device on and let it boot into the Android OS, then (while still on), unplug the old LCD and plug in the new LCD. Hit the power button to ensure the new LCD is working properly, then turn the device on, and finish assembling your phone.
same issue
R960 stuck in loop after replacing screen and cant access recovery or odin mode
need help desperately
I just got a galaxy mega from someone an got ripped off because it's running 4.4 kit Kat and had the screen replaced right before I got it, so it doesn't work. Bootloops. Due to not an OEM screen and I don't really have the cash to risk ordering a screen claiming to be oem.
So how can I just downgrade to a version before the need for OEM screen??
Please any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You can not in normal way (i.e flashing stock 4.2). But there is hope for you... look there:

I'm still a bit confused as to what exactly I should do.. there's alot in that thread.. I really can't afford to buy another screen. This really sucks that the update requires OEM screen in order to function.. if I could find a way to fix the issue without buying a screen I'd be extremely grateful!
But I don't have much experience at all with rooting and flashing custom ROMs, and I'm kind of afraid to brick the phone..
Any help to get the touch screen up and running would be highly appreciated!!
Thank you!
I am the only one who only a part of upper screen works? (I can see status bar, and rotating enter to wifi settings and try to get out of welcome screen of att)

OMG! Sorry for the very late reply. It works fine already. Went to download mode and flashed using Odin. Thanks!

S3 LTE rooted but can't flash rom

Hi guys. I've had a rooted S3 for a while and have flashed loads of roms. Few months ago the phone started acting strangely and the only Ron I could get to work was the German version of the original KK. Now, even though the device is still rooted any attempt to flash another room will give a "signature not verified" error. Anyone else come across this?? Cheers

Do you use odin to flash roms or custom recovery??
Custom Recovery... TWRP. Think using Odin might yield some results?
Thanks for the reply btw ?

You can turn off signature verification in twrp it should do the trick bro hit the tnx button if I helped you
Oh cool. Didn't spot that. Using ROM Manager so will have a look at the options. Cheers

Be sure you haven't a borked version of TWRP. I think official 2.8.7.0 is borked.
Try a more recent unofficial one or use Philz touch 6.48.4 instead for instance.
If your recovery is OK, just check options inside twrp recovery about signature verification... Un-tick zip signature verification.
Btw, about root, AFAIK you can flash custom recovery and custom ROMs without being rooted.
You were right. Switched to CWR and it's all good. Cheers.....
