I've got a problem with my Galaxy tab. The problems are:
1. Whenever the device is turned off all the files are deleted - like a factory reset.
2. The language always reverts back to Chinese or something like that when turned off and on - I always need to change it back to English.
2. Recorded videos show unsupported file format when attempting to playback.
3. Doesn't charge using the wall charger when it is on but when it is off it's ok.
I've tried some TS like:
1. Factory Reset / Wipe Cache and anything I could see at Recovery.
2. Reflash Gingerbread
3. Tried downgrade to 2.2 - I haven't succeeded yet since I need some files to DL.
If anyone has an idea on how to solve it or encountered the problem pls share some thought.
The main problem I'm really frustrated is regarding the memory problem whereas I can't save any files nor store anything on the 16GB internal memory.
BTW, I'm running on 2.3.3 GB
BB: P1000DXJPD
Thank You.
this is wired ... can u tell us what is your Tab old firmware ?
and did you tried to back into froyo and back again to flash the gingerbread ?

I can't really say what's the old firmware since my mom just gave it to me.
I'll be trying to flash it back to froyo later though I'm still trying to figure out what Firmware I should download since the last time I tried it, the tab only goes to a constant boot loop.
I can't really figure out what's the problem with this tab. It seems like it's using deepfreeze (PC App) Since, the prior files saved are still present even after turning it off. I even tried deleting those files but to no avail after reboot it returns.
So, I'll try flashing froyo and let's see.
Thanks.
what is your tab ? GSM , CDMA ?

It's GSM, I've managed to flashed 2.2 now and the charging issue seems to be solved, could charge it now using the wall charger and via usb.
But the memory problem is still the same.
Let me expand on it a little more.
The internal memory which is 12.82 GB (12.80 Avail) and Internal Device Storage (1.85 GB) seems to be detected by the TAB, the problem is whenever I save a file or anything on it after reboot it's gone but some files (Pics) even though I delete it after reboot it comes back. It seems like the memory is froze or something.
Thanks.

Yes I've used a PIT file. I've successfully flashed it now with the ROM on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360.
Still the same so it seems like this is most probably a hardware problem.
I've noticed that when I connect the Tab to my pc as a media storage, I could see the files on the internal memory. I've tried deleting it manually and quick format it. But after disconnecting it the same files returns.
I'm now trying to format it the long way, not the quick format.
I have the EXACT same problem with my Galaxy Tab 7 inch Sprint. My internal memory boots up as read only and resets itself every time I boot the device.
I've been looking for days to figure out what I can do solve this but it really doens't seem promising.
I was able to make the internal memory read writable through adb shell with:
mount -o remount, rw /
The problem is, when I reboot. All the changes are gone. If anybody has a clue please post here or PM me. Thanks!

Ive searched and havent been able to find a solution to this, although Ive seen it asked before.
Galaxy Tab P100 bought from a pawn shop. It still has the prior owners (unknown) gmail info minus p/w. I cannot remove the account, or access market because of this. Everytime I tried to data reset (both via Privacy settings and also CWM), add a new rom, or add apps - after I reboot it goes back to the prior owner settings and apks.
I have Odin'd/Heimdall with different roms but they dont stick. Different kernels install though. Ive added two different CWMs. Superuser breaks after every reset - I gain, then lose, root. Ive rooted/added root explorer and deleted accounts.db and user.db - they go back after. Ive spoken with Sprint and we tried everything they had, as well as a ##786# and MSL number (resetting phone activation I think?). Their response was take it in to send back. I want to fix it myself.
It seems to me that this prior info is overriding and reinstalling every reboot, preventing any new flashing/etc from taking place.
Here is my question. I took it apart this morning and disconnected the battery (thinking maybe it will wipe any memory). But does it have a CMOS-type battery? I noticed there is a small round battery-looking connection soldered into the mainboard (see here - step 7/8 http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Teardown/4103/1)
Does anyone know what this is? I dont really have anything to lose, but Im not great with a soldering iron, but will try. Im thinking this might be for the memory, and disconnecting/reconnecting this would erase any permanent user information, freeing it up for me to add mine.
Or if anyone has any new ideas I would appreciate it.
Thanks for the time. Ed

It is not a battery backed memory, it is a NAND chip.
Sounds like the chip gone bad.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
Just an update.
I did not do anything with the round battery thing, as priyana stated the memory is stored on a nand chip. I put the tab back together.
I rooted again, and found the ea24 firmware and loaded it via odin. It took, but the prior user info was still there, and everything (I mean a crapload of apps) began force closing. I did confirm that ea24 was on it. I then flashed back to ef17.
I contacted Sprint repair store again, and they told me that they probably cant fix it, and its something they have to send back. They said that I have done all that they would do in-store.
I dont understand what could be wrong, as I found the prior owner and spoke with her. She had no issues with it. It worked fine prior to her getting rid of it. And it works fine, I just cant get rid of any prior info. I googled it and it seems like there are people out there who have the same problem, but no one has an answer, including sprint or samsung.
So much for my venting. Ill keep trying to find an answer.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for posting something that won't really help, but I recognize this from somewhere else. On some devices, there's some kind of file (that you can delete via the adb prompt when you're root) that on every bootup checks to see if the installed ROM matches stock, and if not, restores to stock. This sounds exactly what you're experiencing when you mention that no ROMs "stick".
I think you should try to look into if there's some files that need to be erased in order for a ROM to be cleanly installed that you haven't gotten rid of. It might also be some kind of feature that the previous user enabled, so maybe it's somewhere around in the settings that you can disable it, who knows.
It definitely does not sound like a memory issue because I don't see how a memory issue could make the stock ROM suddenly appear again after you've installed a custom ROM through CWM (assuming CWM gives no errors or anything and the custom ROM has actually been wiped).
Maybe you can do a more thorough wipe of the device memory manually with some guidance from someone who knows more about how these tablets work :fingers-crossed:
I agree with you about some type of file and bootup. Thats why I went with maybe it being a cmos/nand issue. I couldnt understand that I wiped everything, and information was still coming back. It makes me think that somewhere, something is being stored separate from the main drive.
Ive used the factory restore, CWM (2 different versions - 3 and 5 I believe), and wiped data (factory reset), cache and Davlik three times each before I flashed the CM ROMs. And I have not had any errors or problems installing any of the CWMs.
I spoke with the previous user, and she did nothing above turning it on/off, and using it. I am not on the Sprint network with it, and the wi-fi doesnt turn on until I set it up, so I cant see it being something that contacts Sprint and OTAs from them.
Can anyone tell me if, using ADB, there is a more thorough wipe I can perform ? More than the normal one done through CWM or Android factory restore?
Something similar to the reformatting of a hard drive?
Thanks
Ed
I have the same problem. Did you find any solution?
I believe the previous owner info is stored on sprint servers. When you reboot, it downloads all the crap.
The long time required to reboot explains the slow transfer of data - wireless.
These wireless service providers are pretty sneaky.
Thanks
Hi,
Have you tried formatting both internal and external Sd via Windows? (connecting via USB)
You can also try CM10, it has a different memory map which will write your device completely.

Hi Everyone,
First off I am a total novice and I put my hands up to say I should not have tried to root my phone. I merely wanted to root so that I could actually use the space on my SD card, which the HTC Desire doens't.
I did try to do this manually by reading a few guide and walkthroughs with no success. So then I used the sunshine app to unlock my bootloader and then WinDriod to load TWRP recovery and then hopefully root the phone. It does say ***unloacked*** on the fastboot menu. However, I sort of messed up my phone.
I cannot load into recovery mode - it goes to a HTC load screen then right back to fastboot usb menu.
I cannot factory restore the phone either.
Can anyone advise me how to return my phone to its normal state or advise on how to fix this problem?
Appreciate any help anyone can give me!

Hello,
Since you asked for help with returning the phone to it's normal state I have some questions. Does the phone work normally? Can you make calls, text, and do other things when you simply power your phone on or is the OS deleted? Are you just referring to obtaining stock recovery or do you still want to get TWRP? It sounds like some error happened when you tried to flash TWRP and now you have no recovery. Here is a great guide that shows you how to flash TWRP. You can use that same guide to flash the stock recovery. That channel also has videos with an alternate method to unlock your bootloader and how to root the phone.
My phone works fine, makes calls, texts etc, I just can't boot into recovery. I tried several methods, following online videos etc to no avail, but ill give this one a go this evening. I mentioned returning it to its original state so I could start over with the flashing process as nothing seems to allow me to load into twrp, so i wondered if there was a corrupt file or something preventing me from doing so. The phone's bootloader is unlocked I believe as it says so on the hboot screen.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill let you know how it goes.

The method in that video should work perfect. I doubt there was a corrupt file, but we'll find out soon enough. I have a love/dislike relationship with WinDroid. I love it, because of how easy it is to use and it requires little to no knowledge of what you are actually doing and it is just a beautiful looking program. I dislike the fact that you pretty much learn nothing when you use it, as it does all of the work. Also, if you use the adb drivers it provides and you already have adb drivers, you will receive an error that the adb server is out of date.
Hi there eveyone, thank you for reading this.
a friend of mine has an HTC Desire OPM1100 D626ph (says on the back of the phone)
when he tries to update to the newer version (the official way) He faces an error, the phone restarts and its stuck now on an endless loop. the options he had was htc recovery menu. he has tried all the options there in hope of fixing the problem.(he doesn't know english) and he probably ruined everything. now the phone doesn't have a back up, nothing works. ADB wasn't turned on in the begining. no fast boot. the only options i think i have is to download a rom via sdcard.(not even sure if it's external)
these are the options on the menu:
reboot system now:
apply update from adb
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe /data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
any help on this would be appreciated, any ideas what should be my next step? i have history of using fastboot/adb. i don't know which rom i should download and from where? htc website confused me and the onlyy thread i found on the internet was this one and there are several links on there. not sure which one should i use?
thanks again guys.
Which carrier is he on? Also, we would need to know if it's a 626, 626s, 626x, 626g, etc... Not sure which model it is from the info posted above. If it's a 626s, the only way to recover is if it's a T-Mobile 626s (no other versions have an RUU to restore it to stock).

thank you for your response
it's an HTC Desire 626G+ (dual sim) and the carrier is "Telecommunication Company of Iran"
Hmm - I would have him contact his carrier and see if they have an "RUU" available for that phone. An "RUU" is Windows application that will reset the phone back to the way it came from the factory - and can typically restore any phone - unless it has a hardware issue.
Otherwise, let's see if anyone else has any input (I'm not familiar with the 626g myself).
Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!

i don't think the carrier would help out with this. though it made me think he didn't do anything wrong so do you think that warranty will accept the phone?
The carrier are the ones that need to supply the RUU (either directly or via HTC), which I why I mentioned that he should contact the carrier.
I would agree that it's a warranty issue if he we just trying to install an OTA update and it caused all of this...

i have same problem with D626ph. I was rooted phone with kingroot after this try to update with ota and result was error and phone boot only to recovery menu
Ahhh - yeah, if you are rooted (and unlocked bootloader), you cannot apply OTA updates. Although, usually, they fail right away and you can just boot right back into the phone normally (without the update, obviously). It's kinda strange that the OTA is bricking the phone like that.

Your link requires an decryption key.
pl provide key. facing the same problem with htc 626g+. Updated via official OTA. Sad that they rolled it without thoroughly testing it.
Have you guys contacted HTC and/or the carrier? They should resolve this issue for you (via an RUU or some other means)!

Guys thank you for your replies. I'm kinda new to xda forum. Should i reply one by one and quote people's names or just reply in one comment? Are there any rules?
About the post, it's weird that many people are experiencing the same problem! And where i live phone carriers don't care about phone problems and it's the first time I'm hearing that i should contact my carrier for my bricked device. But things are differently in different countries ?? to @tpr0 i might try your solution when i get my hands on the device againand if no one provides a better suggestion. Because i gave it back to my friend and told him to try the warranty. After a day turned out he has bought the device without a warranty! They sell phones without warranty in iran for a cheaper price. I think it's worth paying 50 more dollars for a 1-2 years warranty. Anyway I'll let you guys know as soon my friend returns his phone (which will be pretty soon I'm guessing. Meanwhile ill wait if anyone has a link for the ROM or a solution.

The message itself sounds sketchy to me. More like a virus message than a proper one advising of a serious problem.
But, if you wipe and restart, do the very basic setup to be able to get onto playstore and download something like disk digger to recover deleted media. The less you do prior to this increases the chance of more successful recoveries

Where is it saying this?
Pre OS? Whilst in the OS?
Can you get in the phone?
Notes / pictures, have you backed up to the cloud, personally use Google sync to photos and keep for mine, safe as houses, for the most part
If you're unable to boot your phone then recover it using the available methods.
Hisuite
ERecovery if possible
Flash via fastboot if possible using an extracted firmware
*You'd need to flash each partition individually to do this, I wrote a guide on it a while back.
Chances are it'll wipe your data though which is the whole point of a wipe, recovery may just repair the OS.
If the message is within the OS and you're booted then back up then scan for viruses.
Never seen this before, have you modified your device at all? What did you do?
no recovery

anything i choose it fails
(except reboot, that brings me back to same screen in 5 mins)
It stays on this logo screen for
5 to 7 mins
Then it
Goes to this screen with the mandarin
i dont know solution for recover data, btw maybe flashing will help for this phone ? u dont create any backup on gogle account ? check online on www that u can create one
This really seems like a flash of the wrong software gone wrong. Eg cn version instead of lgrp. If it's just done it after no such thing I'd contact Huawei for repair and make sure they can flash and not replace board etc.
If it is damaged storage then some data loss is quite likely no matter which way you go. If you can't access at least base level functionality you have no real hope of data recovery other than by professional means maybe. As the ic would need to be read directly

Huawei are your best bet ad long as what you're saying is accurate and you were using proper Google software and no rooting and messing about etc. They'll probably just change the board.

what actually happened was that i was using phone clone from this phone to the new mate 20 i have now
so the p20 was on for a while and actually got really hot for some reason , and it was also connected to PC (doing file transfers )
then it started rebooting into this mode

Don't believe so as this shows as a different drive to the phones main storage, so quite possibly a different ic so as to remain intact and untouched during updates etc. Just shows hardware wise the phone is connecting so it is definitely a storage issue.
You may have to ask for someone's assistance with trying a test point recovery if you're technically minded

Connect a cable, boot to fastboot, you should be able to boot to that.
Then flash a firmware, one component at a time
