[android-developers] Re: Google I/O device in reboot loop.
I managed to do a factory reset with the help of Samsung over the phone so I didn't have to mail it in. It is good as new - literally since my internal storage was wiped too.

Enjoy your 'new' tablet. You were kind-of lucky. :) A factory reset didn't work for me. Only a fresh flash would do the trick (which had to be done by Samsung).

[android-developers] Re: Google I/O device in reboot loop.
The same happened to mine. I was hoping a firmware update by me would fix it. However, the GoogleIO version of the tablet seemed to have a different boot-loader than the standard ones. I contacted Samsung and they told me the only way to flash it with a proper firmware and fix it was to send it in to get it fixed. I did and within a week I had mine back fixed, for free. Mine was still in its warranty. The warranty is for one year, if i'm not mistaken. This means that yours can be fixed for free as well. Register your tablet at www.samsung.com and go from there to get it fixed.

Since this is a common device among Android developers, perhaps some of you have already dealt with this problem. It displays the Samsung name, then the swirly logo, then the Samsung name, then the swirly logo . . . adb says the device is complaining about, among other things, a Read Only file system. I haven't rooted, changed bootloaders, installed custom roms or anything of the sort. The last over the air update was last August, I believe. Thinking I may need to flash firmware any way, I followed the instructions at this page: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-3-2-1-update-for-galaxy-tab-10-1-is-out/ All appeared to go well. After that, the tablet boots as follows: Shows Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 label. Shows a think bar of static and stays there for a few minutes It displays the Samsung name, then the swirly logo, then the Samsung name, then the swirly logo . . . I don't know how to make the file system be not Read Only. Has the device bricked itself? Have I bricked it? This sure seems like a hardware problem if it survived a firmware update. Alas, my Tab 10.1, it was fun while it lasted. But at just a year old, it didn't last long.

Doing presentations with a laptop is so last decade. Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
