wifi only - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've been going through the forums and noticed that the roms are only for gsm or cdma (or cmda... whatever) would there be anything wrong if i flashed these roms to a wifi only tab???

Possibly. The hardware is different. Doesn't mean it won't work, but there's a very real possibility of bricking your Tab.

oh ok... i wish there were roms for the wifi only tab... any suggestions?

I read that there's a honeycomb development for the galaxy tag. I read that it only has wifi running. Anyone think that tha rom will work with the p1010???

Basicly there is one overclocked kernek and a few roms from the same guy. Look in the development section for cdma roms

Thanks!!

Nope. Only the ones that say sprint. Or a few that say verizon/sprint.

Ok Thanks for the info! I may have to return my GT and wait for the HTC Flyer.
I got the GT thinking as long as i have the hardware i can flash whatever. But we are all at the mercy of the DEVS. No development no flashing..

I called sprint and had them to cancel my contract! Plus $75 off! Now its becoming a fun toy! The 3g sucks on this tablet on sprint network, the tablet is laggy, and etc......But it's now the greats gadget ever for $130 "for now"
hey what method did you use to root your GTab, and what firmware are you running ?
flash my sprint tab
I have a sprint galaxy tab that is out of contract and w/o service.
is it possible to flash it with a verizon rom and then get data service from Verizon? Does 3D use the same frequencies?
Just brought back life to sprint gt. Awesome rom out icontact.check it out.im loving it

No, the hardware between sprint and vzw is different. You can flash your sprint tab to boost mobile (info in the dev section)
And as far as flashing VZW vs Sprint roms, 90% of the time, the VZW roms work just fine on a sprint tab, as long as you aren't needing 3g. So if you're using the Tab wifi only, don't let the VZW bit scare you away from running a rom (CM7 etc say VZW only but still work fantastically on my Sprint tab.)
Yea the contact rom is great for sprint tab. Overclock and undervolt kernel to use with it.

I am using my Sprint GT as Wifi only permanently. (I have phone service with Pageplus).
I am currently running the 1n1tia|C0ntact_V_1_6 ROM and its great.
Can I flash ROMs that are built for GSM GT's?
I won't ever need 3G service for this tab. Wifi only
Dont think that would work buddy.I hope more Roms come out like honeyccomb or icecream sandwich type so I can download the apps I actually want

ICS should be coming to the cdma tabs. If you notice in the dev forum the GSM tabs got all the work on them and our tabs got left behind.

[Q] I957 vs. Other 8.9 Tabs (New Owner)

Hi folks,
I just traded a Toshiba Thrive for this I957 Galaxy Tab 8.9. I am really pleased with my end of the deal, but didn't look into the development side of things before pulling the trigger. I came on this forum and read about differences in the different flavors, but can't seem to find a definitive thread. I am hoping someone can explain them to me.
Also I have no intention of using the AT&T service, with that being said is there a way to turn off the AT&T Radio? I didn't see it in my quick look through the options.
What are the best ROMS available for the I957 right now. I would prefer ICS, but I am aware that there are camera issues there. I don't require the camera as long as most of the rest of the hardware worked well.
The i957 has root, cwm, and an oc kernel. No roms other than stock right now.
The i957 is a different animal than the international or wifi versions.
The only way I know of to turn off the radio is to use flight mode, or delete the radio and phone files from the system.

Yes no roms yet, but when ics comes out for the galaxy note and the skyrocket we will most likely get a port.

What is different about the i957? Is it somehow inferior to the others?
Different Chipset from the older devices.

[Q] P1 tab (T-Mo) Update question

Hey all I have a rather Noob question for the Galaxy Tab (p1) people.
So what is the difference in the roms for all the different tabs? I see a lot for the P1000, P1C, P1N etc etc.
Anyway I just got this tab from a buddy and I would like to get it off of froyo. He said that he had it on CM7 or something like that but revereted it to stock before he sold it to me. Anyway it is rooted, but has stock recovery, and froyo......
I would like to get it to the most recent stable CM available. It's going to my wife and I'm not going to be able to touch it again...... I have my TouchPad and GS3 to play with.
anyway I haven't seen any good guides on how to get this beast updated so could you please point me in the right direction, I've been searching but probably in the wrong places.
thanks.
Steve
The difference is where the tabs are from. Ex. P1000 is europe (gsm), p1000L is latin america, P1000c or P1C is usa- verizon/sprint(cdma). I dont remember the t-mo type. T-mo is gsm though. To find the right cyanogen mod rom type in the model. The verizon tab is sch-i800. should be on the back of the tab. Have fun.

I have a sgh-t849.
Treat it like a P1000 especially if you aren't going to use it with T-Mobile network.
If you do, beware that you only get 3G with t-mobile modem and no voice call.
Or you can use JPZ modem to get voice call but only 2G.

question about roms

I have a Tab 7 (gt-p1000r , rogers 3g) that I cannot for the life of find a stock firmware to go back to, so I am wondering if anyone can tell me is there any roms that I can use that won't brick my device? (I am rooted and superuser is on)
I don't even care if I loose 3g functionality, as this is just a luxury, I only use at home
A at&t rom might work. Both are on the gsm network. I think you can rake a at&t phone into canada and it will work. This might work. Just look into it. The model for a at&t is sgh-i987.
Happy hunting.

Thank you kindly, I will look into it, as mentioned I don't even care if I keep the radio portion of it(texting via sim, I have a nexus 4 so I am ok)
The CM 10 version has full functionality, i've heard. CM 11 still has a few bugs, no mobile data. I'm not sure about kang roms, AOKP, they are similar to CM.

Data only works on stock ROMs

Alright, I'll try to be as thorough as possible. I have the 32 GB sprint Nexus 6 running on straight talk with the Verizon Sim. Anytime I flash anything other than completely stock, I have no data. Calling, SMS, and MMS all work fine, just no data. I'm dying for a fix. I've always put cyanogenmod on my phones ever since I learned about rooting. Anyone have any ideas on a fix?
Figured it out myself..I took a screenshot of my APN on stock ROM and compared. The only thing that was different was the name. Changed it and voila, data. Maybe this will help someone. First time I've ever had a problem like that so I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Check your mobile APN settings in /settings/mobile networks/access points, i had to adjust mine too as the verification type was not correct.
Can anyone help me I have the same problem but I have straight talk (sprint) galaxy s3 I've tried several roms with no luck

Make sure you apn protocol is set to ipv4/ipv6 same with apn roaming protocol. The apn settings is under the more setting then click the cellur network settings and apn settings is after that
Well I'm luckier than most, the only cm based Rom that receives a data connection is dark unicorn. All the other cm based Roms I've flashed can't connect with my carrier
All stock based aosp Roms connect without any issue.
