Hi guys,
I have a Verizon CDMA Galaxy Tab and as all we now there are problems installing Euro firmwares on it because of the HW differences (gsm module replaced by cdma).
No that there are WIFI only editions around do you think it could possible to flash one of this on the CDMA tab?
This means loosing CDMA features only mantaining WIFI but this is not a problem.
It is like converting a CDMA one into the new WIFI tabs but with the ability to flash new firmwares...
What do you think?

hey everybody,
I recently purchased a wifi only galaxy tab (GT-P1010) and was wondering if i could flash GSM/CDMA roms to it. Has anyone tried it? I was wondering because there are only honeycomb versions for cdma and gsm out. Thanks
Is there a telus CDMA modem for the sprint galaxy tab? I've been looking around because I live in canada and I'm with telus so I was wondering if someone could help me out? thanks
You'd more than likely have to do more than just a modem flash. Not sure how Telus works, but most every other carrier you have to use a MEID that they have on their network, so basically you'd have to find a way to flash your Tab with the MEID of a working Telus device before it would be recognized by their network. Find the thread about getting the Sprint Tab to work on Boost Mobile and you'll have an idea of what it takes.
I bought a unlocked Samsung Galaxy tab t-mobile version running overcome kratos,
it has the call icon but when you try to make a call, the call cancels out. the 3g data works great just no call function I think I need to add a modem but not sure which one & how. I was looking at the Galaxy Tab modem list forum
would a T mobile Stock Modem work for me or something else
(the guy I bought it off said the phone works but its clearly not set up fully yet)
model: p1000
Firmware 2.3.3
base: t849uvjjb
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 overcome v3.3.1 #101
Using overcome v 3.1.0-kratos
Canada Wind-mobile (same as tmobile 3g 1700/2100 ban but they have no EDGE 3g only)
any help would greatly be appreciated thanks in advance
I also have a SGT7 on Wind. I have done some reading and the problem is that the TMobile radio does not support both 3G Data and voice as the Tmobile tab was not designed to act as a phone. People have flashed a different modem (euro or asian I believe) but you will loose 3G (Wind Home) and will be constantly roaming on Wind Away (incurring charges). I have also read that people have had limited sucess flashing a Galaxy Vibrant modem (I believe they use the same modem hardware) but there are so many different users on various networks that finding someone who got this to work on an AWS network is a difficult task.
I was considering giving this a try myself but havent taken the plunge yet. I was also on the Kratos 4.0 rom but found that my Tab was restarting itself when playing any graphics intensive game. I have switched to the Russian stock rom and have found that the Tab is quick and gets solid battery life.
By the way, I activated my tab on the Super Smart $29 plan and have been having great sucess with this combo.
Hope this helps.
Thanks phone swapper I was starting to thinks no one cares about the newbies here
I was thinking of using a modem switcher but that still would not solve the 3g calling looks like we may have to use a mobile voip to get by til the code is cracked, if I find something I will let you know.
I just picked up my new GTab 8.9 LTE from AT&T and was wondering if there is a way to disable the LTE radio in this unit. LTE is too much in its infancy and there isn't a need for it to be at all times if it doesn't have too.
Thanks
If you're on wifi all the time, use 2x battery to turn off the modem.
Hello,
I have a galaxy tab non branded with overcome installed.. I`m trying to get Tmobile 3g on the tab but no matter what modem i installed i`m always getting edge.. I tried with roto modem switch.. but still no 3g.. Tried to flash with tmobile stock modem but no 3g..
Model number GT-p1000M (SGHI987)
Firmware 2.3.6
Baseband T849UVjjB_ROTO-3G (after useing roto modem switcher)
Kernerll 2.6.35.7
Overcome-v4
I have tried the froyo, gingerbread now trying it to get 3g on overcome..
Please suggest me if i have to make any other changes to get 3g on tmobile network..
Thanks
bell mobility tab no 3g on tmobile
No one is having this issue ?
No 3g, just Edge signal
I too have a similar problem with no 3g signal. I'm in Bolivia and I have 3g coverage with my provider. I had upgraded to Gingerbread in hopes this would solve the problem. No 3g. I then installed the different modems and I still had the same (no 3g) problem. After this didn't work I went back to Froyo as a last ditch attempt since I had rooted Froyo in the beginning and thought maybe something got messed up. I've never seen a 3g signal here and don't know about the U.S since I've only use it here. Is it possible that the Galaxy Tab 7 3g just does not work in Bolivia? By the way, I've checked all settings and done everything to make sure things are correct. Any ideas? Thanks.
for @polapine, this is answered in another thread.
Basically the conclusion is that T-mobile uses different frequency for 3G/HSDPA, that a normal unbranded tab modem hardware is simply incapable of using. (1700 Mhz)
On the other hand, a T-Mobile branded tab can also operate at the "usual" 3G band in other networks in Europe/Asia/Australia (2100 MHz)
