[Q] GB 2.3.3. Horizontal lines on boot after patching bootloader. Recovery mode lost

tupo05 · May 20, 2011

Hi,

I flashed GB 2.3.3 (CF-ROOT 3.3) when it first came up and everything worked fine. Today I decided to check my bootloader. I installed the patch and applied it because the application said: SIGNED. When I rebooted the tab, here is what happened:
A lot of horizontal lines (green, blue, white....etc) -----> then samsung logo appeared -----> then horizontal lines again ---> then the tab main screen appeared.

The tab works fine and now the patch said "YOU ARE SAFE".

I noticed that I lost the recovery mode. ie. When I go to CWM manager ---> Recovery ---> Reboot into ClockWorkMod recovery, the tab gets stuck on samsung logo with these horizontal lines. (Same thing with Power on + Volume up )

What Should I do please ? Flash again 2.3.3 ?
Thanks in advanced.

Problem resolved. Reflashed 2.3.3 again.
Sorry to bother.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN. Flashing bootloader is practically the only way to BRICK the tab beyond repair except by sending to samsung. What you did btw was downgrade the bootloaders of your tab which is an extremely risky business.

THE GB bootloaders are signed yes but are not secured and they are needed for GB to boot making that patch pointless since kernels and mods can be installed whether bootloaders are signed or not.

Try not to flash bootloader. But some kernels will distort the boot screen. CM7 an to MoDaCo kernels for example for this, but it's nothing to worry about.

Darkpal,
It's working fine now. I got confused with Overcome 2 installation guide where it says to check bootloader and apply the patch.
Am I safe now?

How did you re-flash?
My Pc (ODIN) doesn`t find the Tab so how should i be able to reflash?

Thanks

Hi,
In my case, i was able to go to download mode and therefore the tab was recognized in Odin. So I just re-flashed 2.3.3 again following Chainfire thread in the Dev section.

I noticed that sometimes I had to go in the PC device manager and delete the drivers for the tab and let Win 7 find and load them again, and as soon as that's done ODIN finds the tab and I was able to reflash. I "soft bricked" my tab about 6 times trying different ROM's and Kernals, and even an app or two. I found this practice of deleting and reloading the drivers the only way to save the tab.

Golotab,

I'm happy you're up and running again. For Overcome, just follow these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
it's very easy. Just don't patch the bootloader because you are already on 2.3.3
Good luck

Hi, I am facing the same situation. I just hope someone can clarify for me.
Instead of refresh 2.3.3 back, can I just follow the line (quoted) for OVERCOME??

After Overcome, can I flash MIUI ROM???

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. Restock then flash overcome.
If you are already on overcome, you can flash Miui on the top (because you are already on ext4 system)

I hope that helps
