[Q] SGT no longer rooted - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used a guide to flash my Galaxy Tab to allow phone calls. Now I am no longer rooted, and I only get Edge network. I am still unable to get phone calls, but I may need a different T-Mobile SIM to allow for that. Will this change in firmware affect how I approach rooting my tab again? The last time I rooted my tab, I used the Superoneclick method. I don't have enough posts to ask in the development section. Just started this series of rooting and flashing ROMs about a week ago.I want to go back to the Overcome 1.4.0 ROM.

It's normal if you have the tmo tab, call + 3G don't work at the same time. And for the rest, root it again and try it a second time with a different tuto.

[Q] Just enabled phone calls on my T-Mobile tab.. can i odin to GB P1000XXJMQ?

Just odin'ed to EURO rom JHA to enable phone calls to the T-Mobile tab. I want to update to the latest firmware right now.. which would work?
It seems that P1000XXJMQ is the latest one.
Can i odin it without any problems?
I am in the same boat, with the same problem,
I have a T-Mobile version of TAB, i look forward to flashing it to make phone calls and getting GB on it, so Gtalk and Skype work!
Thanks
I went ahead and followed the guide to flash JQ1 (2.3.3) and everything went smoothe!
Now on 2.3.3 and have phone calls enabled/2g & I use roto's modem switcher script when i want 3g.

[Q] SCH-i800 Rooted, now what?

My wife has a SCH-i800 through US Cellular. We have had it for a while but the awful software is just waaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow. I got it rooted last night with z4root. My next question, is there CWM for this tablet yet? I want to flash something along the lines of MIUI or CM7 or CM9 (if it's stable enough yet, my research suggested it might be unless someone has something contradicting to that)

got the ROM and gapps, now how do you get CWM on this thing? I know there is Odin and Heimdall...but I havent seen a modem for the USCC tablet. Or just use Sprint or Verizon's since they are all CDMA?
Bump for an answer? I searched all night last night trying to find out a way to get CWM on my wife's CDMA SCH-i800. gizmoninja had the process but not all the files. So I'm trying to find a set of instructions AND working files to get CWM on this tablet. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
search for:
overcome kernel
ODIN
Flash the kernel as on PDA section of odin
REboot
Wait for about 5 to 10 MINS
REboot to recovery and u'll have CWM
you can install the rom thru CWM
I dont think overcome support cdma tab.

oh, sorry i have no idea about cdma tab, well anyway, the pos sill stands, you may just have to seach for a kernel with CWM to flash into your tab...

Flashing CM10 on GT-P1000R

Hi all. Couldn't find any posts about this specific problem so here goes:
I'm trying to CM10 on the following device:
Model number: GT-P1000R
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000RUXKG1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UXKG1
I've rooted the device with CF-Root v3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734, CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip) which installs CWM 3.0.0.5. When I reboot in CWM Recovery mode and try to flash the zip, I get the following error:
assert failed: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxytab" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P1000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P1000");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada).
P1000R is just a normal P1000 (M or R, plain P1000)
I have not tried but I am sure CM10 need CM9 first.

Seeking help flashing my SGT P-1000R
"I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada)."
I have had the same difficulty flashing the rom for my GT-P1000R, as most roms are designed for the generic GT-P1000 and upon flashing check for the version and stop because ours is specific to Rogers. Exactly what did you do to modify the updater-script and what is the file called in rom ZIP package?
To be honest, ever since I was foolish enough to upgrade to Gingerbread earlier this year I have regretted it, as my Bluetooth no longer works with my HID keyboard. As I believe in going forward is best, I am looking to upgrade to ICS, but as a last resort going back to Froyo (if I can find it) would get me back the functionality I lost.
I would appreciate any help you can provide as I have scoured the net and found very little that deals specifically with our version (GT-P1000R) of the SGT.

Perhaps, but every time I try to flash a rom made for a P1000, the install fails indicating in the error message that it has detected my tablet as being a SGT P1000R, hence my original inquiry. I am sure it is simply a question of updating a config file to fool the installer, but which one?

Thank you for the links to the Overcome method, and I now have successfully upgraded my former SGT P1000R, Android 2.3.3, to a SGT P1000, Android 2.3.6 - A significant improvement indeed! Unfortunately my test to see if my Bluetooth HID keyboard works with my new and improved SGT came up short - Will pair, but not connect.
After doing some research and coming to the sad conclusion that only an upgrade to ICS will do to get the aforementioned functionality to work, I tried AKOB and CM9 upgrades, following the instructions available. Each and every time I tried the upgrade, the tablet went into an endless loop of reboots indicating an error, which was displayed too quickly to read. I ended up having to restart the Overcome process again to salvage things.
Alas it is late and my quest to get ICS installed on my tablet (unless someone can tell me how to get a connection to my Bluetooth HID keyboard in 2.3.6) will wait for another day. Thanks anyway for the help.

IIRC the endless boot loop is due to the install process complaining that it couldn't find some partitions. When you get to that point you should just reboot to recovery and install the zip again for the 2nd time and it should work then.
I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:

Hi! First of all, thanks for all this information! I Also have a GT-P1000R (Rogers) running on the same gingerbread version UXKG1 and rooted with the original thread. So, literally, my tab is in the EXACT situation from the original thread. I am assuming that in order to flash any custom ROM's, i need my tablet to be recognized as a GT-P1000 . I am reading the manual, and i am wondering which modem to use. Or do I just need to do an update considering I am already running Gingerbread 2.3.3 ? My overall goal is to have my tablet recognized as a GT-P1000 (not with the r) and eventually upgrade to ICS or higher, also for the primary reason of using a bluetooth (hid supported) keyboard...among other things.
I am familiary with Odin and these instructions are great, I am just slightly unclear what to do in the case of already being on gingerbread 2.3.3, but working with a GT-P1000r. Thank you in advance for your help!

I also posted this above to another reply, but am worried it will get missed.
I have the same table you do (GT-P1000R) with Rogers, and it was rooted with the same file you used in this original thread on UXKG1.
Do you recall if you just had to do an update with overcome (since you were also running 2.3.3 , UXKG1 as per your first post) , or did you do a complete overhaul.
If you had to do the entire process, which modem did you use? these are the options given...
-GSM based GT-P1000 Tab (Asia, Europe, Middle East, Occeania/Africa, rest of world, etc..) : use JPZ MODEM
-North American T-Mobile Tab user: use T-Mobile Modem
-AT&T (USA), Tel Cel , etc - use JK3 modem.
I am assuming i would use the NA Tmobile based, considering Rogers is Canada's 'sister company' to T-Mobile? but i want to be sure...
Thanks for the help..as you know..there isn't a lot of info on GT-P1000R version..
Not quite.
Rogers is using 850/1900 MHz , the same as AT&T USA
the term NA T-Mobile there is to differentiate that with the UK T-Mobile, which use the usual European frequency.
so At&T modem ?

Awesome..thanks for clarifying. JUST in case...I will Clarify then that I should use the A&T , etc modem version? Any other tips I should be aware of ...as I am working with a rogers version? Thanks.
Yes, use AT&T modem.
No other tips regarding special treatment, they are identical to normal P1000 except that the modem radio is made to work on 850MHz for the 3G part.
Anything you read about P1000 here applies equally to a P1000R
And you can use the Overcome method to get yourself a CWM recovery to flash ICS.
The link to its latest files and guide is in my signature.
If you are prepared to wipe out everything and start fresh.
Get the GB-stock-safe-v5 package (it has rom, odin, windows drivers, modem files)
and the PDF (read from page 7 onward)
and the Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar format.
Only the kernel, you don't need the Overcome Series 7 rom, if your eventual target is ICS.
Once you completed the step of flashing the kernel, you can reboot to CWM recovery and use that to flash ICS/JB, then its corresponding gapps, and you are done.
Last question...(i hope)

This might sound dumb - but because i've boot looped my galaxy s I9000m before (that STUPID m at the end...just like the r for my tab..) .. i want to make sure what exactly will be happening. I am familiar with Odin and flashing kernels, not so much modems...
My end goal is to EVENTUALLY flash ICS or J/B , but i haven't thought that far as to which one to go with, etc..so i might not do that part for another week or so -whenever i have time.
If i only do the instructions you gave me (for the rom, odin , etc) and the kernel, my tab should be all good to still use in the mean time, until i decide to flash ICS or JB?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.... I appreciate the assistance, and will be giving 'likes' and donations for SURE for all the help.
Yes, the guide is for Overcome Rom which is stock Samsung based gingerbread Rom.
The look is very closed to stock, but the kernel is improved.
Many are happy with just running it.

I am sorry, but as I read the thread through some more...i am still a bit confused of a couple of things. I know this is really probably a simple process...but bricking my tablet is the last thing i want to do.
Answers to the following would be so helpful:
1) Do I need to install the modem? I am currently on GB 2.3.3 unlocked and rooted. My tablet and root information is the same as the original thread. It is rooted with
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384 . I have not installed a modem before..so not exactly sure when/why this should be done and when it is not necessary to. - or do i ONLY need to go into odin and flash the kernel and rom. I am trying to get my tablet to be recognized as just GT-P1000 not with the r. It is the modem that will change how my tablet is recognized?
2) Do I need to insert a SIM card when I flash Overcome modem (if necessary) and kernel and Rom?
I do have a SIM card capable tablet, but I dont actually have a sim card for it. I use WIFI - and tether it from my phone if i need to. My service provider in Canada, Sasktel, blocks SIm cards from being able to use it in more than one device at a time (lame I know) , so buying a SIM card and not using the radio doesn't make sense. that being said , I DO want to be able to use the radio with a SIM card if i need to, like when I travel overseas and purchase one for their carriers.
Thanks again!
Your current rooting method leave your tab as P1000R, that is why I recommended overcome from scratch.
And I didn't know you are rooted and have cwm
Modem is for mobile network.
Wen you flash with Odin "repartition" , your modem will be wiped out.
A modem is required.
if you never use mobile function, any modem will do.
Remember being P1000R, if you are overseas other than with USA at&t, you only get 2G.
In Europe and Asia the UMTS freq is 2100Mhz and your tab is incapable of doing that.
You not need SIM to flash overcome.
Since you have cwm, you can just flash overcome ROM series 7 from cwm. Try that.

Thank you SOOOOOO much for the help on this. you answered sooo many helpful questions.

[Q] Changing Network Locked Tab to Generic

I've got a Galaxy Tab from when it was release on Orange UK due to at the timew being Staff there and got it for a good deal.
The problem I have is that OUK Tabs only go as far as Froyo and now my apps are starting to not get updated due to the old OS.
So what I'd like to do is turn it into a gereric UK Tab so that I can install the standard Gingerbread firmware. At the moment, I don't want to start playing with different ROMs, just get it to a point where Kies will install the newer official firmware.
I've already got it SIM unlocked (on the off-chance I put a non-Orange SIM in it) but I'm not sure on the rest. I assume I need to root it before I do anything else.
This site is full of good stuff, unfortunately I'm not 100% certain I've understood what I need to do. Is there a step-by-step guide on how I get it turned into a generic model? I don't mind getting my hands dirtying, so am not asking for an app that will do all of it for me (unless of course there is one), I just need some instructions on how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend you to use overcome method.
use Odin to flash official stock gingerbread JQ1.
Download GB stock safe v5 and the PDF guide.
jump to page 7 and flash according to the picture.

[Q] Odin Stuck on SetUp Connection

My Tab is second-hand, and was rooted when I bought it - Froyo 2.2. I am attempting to re-stock and flash a new ROM, since this one started acting crazy.
I'm using the Overcome Guide, but am worried I made a mistake with the modem selection. The Tab is from T-Mobile, but I don't have a SIM, and I think a new modem was flashed on the device: a JK5. I chose the T-Mobile modem .bin for the re-stock first flash, and now Odin seems stuck on the setup connection (for almost an hour now). I'm using Odin 1.85
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance from an utter n00b.

If its stuck at setup connection then there's not much you can do except close Odin and open it back up if it hasn't started flashing anything then you should be ok

If you are using Overcome Guide, you should be using Odin 1.7 that is included in GB-stock-safe-v5
Not sure about other people, but I don't get success using 1.85.
Besides, best to stick to what the guide says.
Working like a charm now
My USB drivers installed and re-installed and I realized that although the KIES was running on the Tab that didn't mean it was installed on the PC. Fixed that and now I've got the whole Overcome shebang up and running.
Thanks!

There is. It was highly useful for making my home button work again after my Tab would do this weird semi-factory reset. The wireless would turn off, my home screen went back to stock, my apps would all be in alphabetical order, and the home key wouldn't work at all. It was fixable, but annoying and it kept happening (along with other wonky stuff), which finally caused me to flash the new ROM. And I'm highly grateful, I like this one so much better. It's like having a whole new device!
