Fix for verizon update

[kevinlexsanders]

if your have issues with the update not finishing 100% this will work


http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21215221/Verizon-GTab-Stock.zip

download the zip using heimdall flash like normal
factoryfs-factoryfs.rfs
zimage-zimage
param.lfs-param.lfs
cache-cache.rfs
recovery-zimage
ignore the rest of the files

then before first boot wipe data and cache reboot
manually use update.zip or just let it download itself
install update and your done
you can verify by going to "about device" build number will be SCH-I800.EC02
use superoneclick for root z4mod not working keep getting f/c's

it seems like anybody who used z4mod to root or flashed recovery "back to stock" is having problems a 100% fix is just download the files from my post and flash like normal then use superoneclick for root

***for it to work you must download the recovery files from my post***

the files in my post are created using a temp. root so the files are a pure clone of unrooted rom 100% stock that is why you have to use superoneclick to root I tried everything and have done this to 6 tabs with no errors

Download Mode (Volume down and power)

Download Heimdall from Here:

http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

Also just below version 1.1.0 is Microsoft C++ This also needs installed on your machine because it has .dll files Heimdall uses.

Launch download mode on your tab that is already connected to your PC.

unzip heimdall and go into the drivers folder where you will see zadig.exe. Run this.

At the top you see options. Click "list all devices"

Then in the dropdown select Android USB composite device or might say it other ways

Click start and let heimdall download the drivers. Once its finished, close zadig and launch heimdall front end leaving Tab plugged in and in download mode

Unzip the stock files.

the zImage goes in both the Kernel AND Recovery slot.
The factoryfs.rfs goes in Factoryfs
The Param.lfs goes in Param.lfs make sure you use param.ifs not param.rfs
and the cache.rfs goes in the cache slot.

ignore the rest of the files in the zip and just use these

After you have the files in place click start to flash. ALWAYS make sure your battery is sufficiently charged or you will have MAJOR problems.

After this runs you will more then likely have to Power down, wait a few seconds and hold power and up volume to boot into recovery. (NOTE, do not hold power too long, just long enough to turn it on, then continue holding up volume till you see recovery. WIPE DATA AND CACHE. Tab should boot.

then let update download install it and you can use superoneclick if you want root back

I'm confused! Can I just "Unrooted" untill it updates again?
