[Q] What should i do first ? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
My Galaxy Tab arrives tomorow and i read here at XDA that the stock rom isn`t that good as some Rom`s cocked here.
So i`m new to this.
Can someone help me with a few links and steps of what shoud i do to try XDA rom`s?
I`ve seen that it`s 1st post on development "How to root" but what are the steps.
I`m mean whats the next step after root and if i`m not wrong i`ve seenthat you coud flash roms via recovery and via a program Odin. Can you give me a link on how to in both cases ?
Thank you very much and hope in good roms for Galaxy Tab

How about a little more info: What kind of tab is it? 7" 8.9" 10.1"? GSM or CDMA. Unbranded wifi only? Or carrier fixed like T mobile or AT&T?
Also before rooting or flashing you need to know if your tab has a locked bootloader or not. If it is you need to apply a certain patch.
Give us some info and links will be on the way.

Well the choice of going custom or remaining on stock ROM is totally up to the user. IF you feel fullfilled by your device. then no need for a custom ROM otherwise use it.

[Q] Can I flash a P1000 rom to a SHW-M180S Korea Galaxy TAB? & other questions

Hello,
Recently I get a SHW-M180S Korean Galaxy TAB. It work like a charm but I need extra features and a good custom rom.
I did a lot of research, even in korean forums, but I can't get much info on how to root and install roms.
- First problem is rooting. I know Froyo 2.2 is easily rooteable but I have an:
Android 2.3.6
Kernel version 2.6.35.7
Build number GINGERBREAD.UC27
Wich is imposibble for me to root. I've tryed SuperOneClickv2.3 and DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit with no luck and a few other with the same result. I know for sure it's related to Gingerbread 2.3.6 and didn't find a tool or tutorial on how to root it.​
-Second is the rom change. I know that there are a few posts asking for this, but, I didn't find a clear and concise response to:
can I flash a rom for a TAB P1000 to a SHW-M180S???​
I hope that some one can answer me or at least guide me in the correct direction because all the info I found about it finish on a dead end. At least for my Gingerbread 2.3.6
Thanks is advance...
Hi.
No one?
Sent from my SHW-M180S using xda app-developers app
I reply my self afer days of digging around and risking my TAB in to a brick.
I've found a rom that is the last one developed for the SHW-M180S (Android 2.3.6 UC27) but rooted.
I have flashed it with Odin 1.85 wich is the one known to work well with this device. Everything goes well and now I have a rooted TAB. Here is the link to download it.
http://rapidlibrary.com/source.php?file=ulcm8efvyti89on&sec=eea10ad4
Now I want to go further and have a compatible and working custom recovery but I don't know which can work, so please, I need some one to guide me!!
Of course, I want also to have ICS and I have also foun a ICS rom for this device but I dare not flash it without warranties.
so if some one knows how to do it or at least a korean forum where I can find info, I'll be realy pleased.

Does Normal Tab's Recovery and root will work for this mobile?
why not try CyanogenMod 9.1 for tab p1000

I meant backup your internal storage , photos , videos and other stuff not asked you to make a nandroid backup. you can flash the kernel but it does not make nandroid backup so you just have to deal with it. if you can't factory reset before flashing you can do it after flashing.
I have provided you the original thread link . you should read all the stuff there. i can only help you if something goes wrong. by the way you always can flash stock firmware.
here is the stable High resolution 2.3.6 stock version.

[Q] How to deal with Australia Telstra S3 4g

Dear,
I would like to get some information,
I would like to know is there any difference in rooting testra's s3 4g (i9305t) compared to international i9305
How to root and does it void my warranty? and also how to tackle with warranty if in any case i have installed custom rom or rooted my device.
And also what is the best custom rom available for this (I9305T) device.
Pls dear guide me,
Thanks in adv.
i just picked one up on saturday. rooting is extremely easy. following the guides in the dev section for i9305 NOT I9300. make sure u follow the stickies first to make backups of important artitions, IMEI etc.
Im currently running supreme rom. Do NOT try and fly a rom for i9300.
You can use exynos abuse to easily root but use the stickies to install cwm
Pls let me know my other question in the first thread.
Thanks in adv.
all of your questions can be answered by searching, there's nothing new here.
the i9305T can be rooted same way as the i9305
yes it will void your warranty
flash stock telstra ROM and use a USB jig or triangle away for warranty returns
best custom ROM? you're kidding.. right?
I plan on rooting the same phone here, proble is there's so much information all ove rthe place and you don't know where to download from where and so on...
There's some guides in the development forum for sgs3 though that are a bit more helpful...
Thanks for ur guide.
There are lots of information available, bt we always have to think twice before playing with the phone.
There are many issues in which some ppl lost there imei, and so.
So I ask here what is best to root the phone,
Everyone said that there are lot of apps available for rooting, but pls can u suggest me, which method is best of all,
Pls.
Thanks dear.

Can i put other official unbrended rom to my branded tab over odin without problems?
2.Does it my bootloader locked becuse i have brended tab on t-mobile, i dont undersand that bootloader corectly what means for other roms(some people tell me for bootloader problems)3.Do i need root for changing thing becuse of branded tab, i mean if this only helps because od brended tab, so i for example cant put other official rom but i can root this brended rom and stay on it...
I hope that somebody will help me or even just give me some directions becuse my situation with update is bodering me...
Tnx and soory for if i made some grammar mistakes becuse english isnt my native language...

First, find a recovery, cwm or twrp, for your device. Flash that with Odin. Then find a rom for your device. Put that on your sd card. With your recovery, cwm or twrp, flash it. I have an i957 so don't know what's available for the 7320. I think there is limited support for the 7320 but look in the development forum.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Tnx,i found everything already here for flashing all files and procedure to make my tab root and etc...but fu..ing bodering me is branded tab and locked sim card on my provider..and i dont know can i change other stock rom of sweden or even other provider rom to use..so far i found only one custom rom for 7320 but no explaination for using to branded tab only for unlocked tabs..i dont want bricked device..otherwise i will wait for how long i dont know fo update of my lazy provider to bring 4.04...
Hello,finally after cople hours of taking brave i started to do on my own risk everything and results are posititve.so i do exacly like imf ound here on forum and flased custom recovry and then flashed custom rom arciis and everything was fine for me..so conclusion is that you can even with branded tab make this becuse your modem and status of provider will not change and everything will work..threat can be closed and i hope for others that my scares will help for others with same problem...
