I picked up a T-mobile Tab when I was in US and I want to use it in Europe with all European functions. Can I flash it to become equal to an European sold model?
Do I need to get the SIM unlock done first?
After I have done this, can I use KIES to do normal upgrades?
Thanks!
Bump
Still interested if anyone have flashed a US-Tab to Euro and then got it to work with Kies (doing upgrades etc).
I'm aware of the differences in modems support, but that is not an issue for me.
follow the steps
I have bought a T-Mobile tab a week ago and i have changed the Firmware with the European version to enable the dialer and then unlocked the phone with the hex edit by rotohammer first post.
So here is what you need to do
1) flash a euro firmware (get the latest from samfirmware.com)
and follow the instructions carefully.
2) unlock the device using the hack provided on the post here

Samsung SHG T849
I am a newbie. If I am in the wrong forum please redirect me.
My problem is that while flashing my t-mobile Samsung G tab using odin3 the power in my house went out and I am now bricked.
I get a logo that shows a graphic of a phone 2 dots and a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, another 2 dots and a graphic of a PC.
When I try to get the download mode I cannot but I could get into a mode "Power reset or unknown upload mode" when I press both the 'up' and 'down' volume key at the same time as when I press the 'power on' key.
The logo would recycle every few seconds even if I try to power off.
I tried to let the battery run out and when I recharge the tab. the same thing repeats.
You need to re-flash using Odin!

I figured I would have to do that. Unfortunately my Sammy would not power down. It kept looping, off and on and when it was on, it gave me either the 'logo' or the 'power reset' message, both of which I described above. I even let the battery run down and upon recharge it immediately went into the loop I mentioned.
I tried to connect it to my PC but the PC would not recognize it at all. I checked to make sure I have the right drivers and I do.
I am hoping some one would know how to get the boot sequence working without having to physically open the pad.

If you can get back to that screen, which is download mode, you can reflash Roto-JME and get back to a working Tab.

I had to wait awhile to reply because the tab went dead - no power. I tried to recharge it but it did not hold enough power to let me complete the task.
I am recharging it for 24 hours hoping that it will hold enough charge to let me complete the task.
In the meantime I located several sites for Odin3 v 1.7 but I was unable to get the same pack as ayman019 had which probably came from you rotohammer. will it be possible to get the link so I will have the right software/firmware?
(I located P1000XXJHA.rar files but I am having difficulties unzipping it. Each time I try it asks for a password. or would not even allow me to unzip it at all)
hi just curious,

Hi,
T849 from T-Mobile accidently flashed with wrong firmware and tab become totally dead. Repaired boot with Riff Box, so I can enter in to download mode now but couldn’t find Roto-JME or stock firmware. All download links are dead or deleted.
Would you share Roto-JME please?
Thank you in advance.
The link from rotohamer for tmobike stock is over. you have to update your tab to gingerbread 2.3

Horrible guide. Setup for failure and no support.
There is hardly any need for this old firmware. You can always run any European GB rom for P1000 as long as you keep T-Mobile modem you get 3g or use jpz modem and you get voice.
And with roto modem switcher you can even switch between voice and 3g.
The link in my signature is overcome links. It has gb jq1 rom and method to flash it.

I have an SGH-T849. Trying to unlock it. Cant find any positive guides for custom roms or anything. Everything is only on the p1000 so I am taking my chances and flashing p1000 firmware so I can fit in.
You will be alright.
I am holding in my hand a T849 now running AOKP SGT milestone 6.
The T849 is exactly like a P1000 except the modem hardware.
I don't know about network unlocking though.

I flashed my phone using the rom I was using weeks ago: XWJM5 (using 512.pit, SERJM1 CSC and XXJM3 modem) all the files are in the JM5 download(single folder) from samfirmware.com
I used adb to get into download, then I selected repartition whilst flashing. ( not sure it's worth noting there's a sbl.bin file in the phone package that gets written to the device)
once i had JM5 up and running i checked whether the 3 button combo was working - it wasn't.
i then followed post 1 to the letter.( no .pit, select bootloader etc) - it takes just a second to run.
Now I just have to decide which ROM i want to try next -JPH awaits !
Well Jimsey, guess what.......... JOB DONE!!!!!
Did exactly what you said - except i added 1 step, (don't know if essential but i've heard reports that it saves some people needing to do a wipe/reset in recovery mode) :- i did a factory reset just prior to flashing of JM5. Other than that tho, i followed everything you did above TO THE LETTER!
Mind you, it wasn't good for my health i swear. It rebooted after flashing JM5, and a load of yellow writing came up saying all the little files it was initialising etc etc blah blah, and then... in RED writing it came up with - CANNOT ACCESS MULTI LOADER FROM TMU, or something like that.
Well, i felt the blood drain from my face. Then it booted up, damn that was scary!
You're right about the combo fix as well, when i flashed that it is as you say a dodgy two seconds, then a few more seconds on a black screen, i swear my heart didn't beat during that time!
Anyway there you go guys, i've just (narrowly avoiding a coronary) flashed my stock T-Mobile UK from BOJG3 to an unbranded, smooth as silk XWJM5, and on top of that flashed the standalone bootloader from post #1. And it works. I have the handset in front of me and it's all lit up on the home screen!
A big thankyou to Jimsey, for being the first pair of feet to jump!
Also to Richthofen for his bootloader fix, and his superb support in all this.
Well, don't know where next, JPC/JPH i suppose, but not yet, i need a drink to recover from this bit first!!

Hey everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Overcome 1.6.3
I've been having an issue with it overheating and turning itself off (nothing to do with the custom ROM, was doing it before, I was hoping the custom ROM would fix it but it didn't).
I rang Samsung about it and they told me to take it back to where I bought and get them to send it in to me.
My issue is that as soon as they see that it's running a Custom ROM they'll send it straight back to me!
Basically I'm trying to work out the Optus Factory ROM / Modem / PITT files so I can put the correct files back on using ODIN.
Does anyone have a stock Optus Galaxy Tab they can give me all the info for?
PDA: ?
PHONE: ?
CSC: ?
Model Number: ?
Firmware Version: ?
Kernal Version: ?
Build Number: ?
Thanks,
Mitchell !

Thanks, hadn't seen that.
Will move the question
the firmware my tab came with was JJ4, but when I got it back from repair it came with JMA, so it is hard to say what you should have
Thanks!
I ended up ringing one of the stores and asking them to read me out all the numbers off the Display model (figured it had never been updated).
It is as follows:
PDA: P1000XWJJ4
PHONE: P1000XXJID
CSC: P1000OPSJJ3
I was able to get the PDA + PHONE default files, but I could only get a default CSC file (SERJJ2) because no one had posted the Optus CSC file.
I'm restoring it all now, will let you know how it goes, cheers !
Hi there,
Did you get it working?
I am trying to restore my optus galaxy tab using odin as well, its a nightmare!
I also have the first two files (and not the csc file), but dont know how to do it.
I have the gt-p1000_mr.pit file loaded in odin along with the PDA and phone one (P1000XWJJ4 & P1000XXJID). I have the three boxes ticked, auto reboot, repartition, f. reset time etc. then i press start. It updates for a while then fails near the end. What am I doing wrong? Is it because i dont have the csc file or is there a certain order to do things?

Hey, yep I did end up getting it fixed !
Just at work at the moment but I'll post detailed instructions when I get home !
Awesome! This little saga is almost making me consider splashing out and going ipad, but I am being patient. I think theres a learning curve and then all will be good no? or have you got rid of yours since haha
All is good
I ended up finding teamovercome.net and installed their ROM which Im happy with so far. No optus stuff which is a plus
Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. The time zone difference thing over here is still messing with my head. Glad to hear you got it all sorted. I had a look back through all of my stuff and like an idiot I don't have anything saved any more, but oh well.
Haven't gotten rid of mine, but haven't touched it for about a month and a half, since moving over to the US, and not wanting to pay for a SIM card for it.
which version rom are using from overcome and is there any problems with using it on the optus network

Just got a Captivate that came with a custom rom preinstalled (phoenix 5.2) and I want to flash it back to the standard/original rom from samsung.
My problem is the model
when i boot the phone, the samsung screen shows: SGH-I897, but when i go to the about phone screen in settings it shows as GT-I9000.
Anyway to figure out which it is?
Also, i dont know if this helps, but when i run Odin3 one click, and click master clear, it runs and shows as successful but i see no change on the phone whatsoever.
Thanks in advance for the help
master clear does NOT get you back to stock. you need to use ODIN to actually flash the stock rom in DOWNLOAD mode. looks like you have a lot of reading to do, instead of just clicking buttons
If you have a Captivate it is either an SGH-I896 if its for the rogers network or SGH-I897 if its for AT&T. If the AT&T logo is right above the screen it is the SGH-I897, not sure where the rogers branding is.
GT-I9000 is the model number of the international Samsung Galaxy S, the phone most every custom rom you will for our phone is based on, and it is the model number listed in about phone for various reasons such as Android Market limitations with the Captivate.
I would suggest you read the stickies in the captivate section about how to flash roms and then read them some more, and also consider using the AIO Captivate Toolbox until you become more familiar.
All Master Clear does is wipe the Internal SD Card on the phone, its that other button in 1-click odin that does all the magic, but read read and read some more before you do anything!

I had a UK unlocked (no branding) GT-P1000 Galaxy Tab. I flashed it to a custom gingerbread build on Win7 X64 but later wanted to revert to stock. After a lot of searching I flashed the device with P1000XWJMI. All went fine and device booted back in (with a foreign language set as default but I've changed to English via settings).
When connecting the device to Kies it now says "This version of the device cannot be updated". It never used to say this before! It used to say I was running the latest firmware.Can anyone advise what the problem is?
I've seen some threads referring to something with a CSC mismatch and to alter using *#272*IMEI# and changing the code but I didn't want to do this without being certain what I'm changing.
Presently Kies shows:
PDA: JMI
Phone: JMA
CSC: JM4 (CPW)
I'm running Kies version 2.0.1.11053_99
Thanks
Craig
Is JMI stock for your tab? Besides, the country code might be wrong.
I didnt know how to find the correct stock for this tab. I just saw in a post that someone else form UK had used this so I went for it.
i had this issue also , and i didn't know ever how to make it work
so ppl said that you have to download app from the market that plays with the PDA and CSC to change them to what ever you want without flashing any other rom
Darkpal guide :
My way is DANGEROUS. You need to know what you're doing to do it. IF IT MELTS YOUR TAB am not RESPONSIBLE.
1. Do a Rotobackup of your existing firmware or any backup to your efs folder (regular backups won't work).
2. Download an app called SpoofFW
3. Put the PDA, Phone and CSC of a known stock firmware (like your asia
4. reboot.
5. connect to kies.
thanks for him not for me , but to your info i couldn't understand what to do with the app maybe you wait someone to describe it for you

My case is different. After updating my ROM back to stock, all the versions are OK, despite the software and phonebook remains (but I noticed that my photos in gallery are deleted, which is what I wished).
My question is how to restore it to the REAL factory setting state, without any additional wallpaper and software that I installed?
Thanks for your attention, and wait for your advise as well.

If I understand you correctly, you have to:
[*]Press menu
[*]Settings
[*]Privacy
And there you'll have the option to do the factory reset.
You can also do it by booting into recovery (volume up + power on) and selecting it from the menu.

My tab is from the uk (got it from amazon uk) and it was jmi/jma/jm2 (cpw) on the last update. Before that it was jj7/jk5/jj5 (cpw).
Maybe you can try downloading an older euro rom from samsfirmware and go from there. Don't forget jmi had locked bootloaders.
