While waiting for a new AT&T Galaxy Tab to arrive I have been reading this forum. Before I start messing with my Tab, is there any way to backup or dump the factory firmware? I have not found instructions on how to do that and it looks like the one link here to an AT&T ROM is to one that appears not to be good.
Do a roto backup. Head to the dev section and search for roto backup thread.

Hi All
I'm interested in flashing my tab using the Overcome Gingerbread ROM, but before I do that, I would like to make a backup of my stock ROM should I ever need to revert back to it. I have a Euro tab which I purchased without a contract back in December, *#1234# displays the following:
PDA: P1000XWJMI
Phone: P1000XXJMA
Once I install the Overcome ROM, I assume this will over write all/most of the partitions, including the bootloader/recovery image with the cwm mod recovery image?
Will rothammer's 'roto backub' backup everything I need, including the original recovery image, to perform a full restock?
Apologies if this question has been posted before, I have tried searching for my answers and doing as much research as possible, but doing this for the first time, sometimes it's not always obvious what you should be looking for; Expert advise much appreciated

Roto back up creates the files needed for you to flash with odin3 1.7. It will return your tab to stock. Be sure to put the files on your pc for safe keeping.
I was looking for a method to do this and read a lot of nandroid and clockwork mod recovery, but it seems like clockwork does not work for the P1010, and nandroid says it needs a custom recovery, how can I make a recovery of my stock ROM so I can start messing around modding? maybe throug ODIN, ADB? or another custom recovery? thanks in advance.
If you rooted do a roto backup. Its on the development thread look it up.

thanks I'll check right now
Again thanks for the info DarkPal, for what I read I need to know the BML partition mapping for my P1010 with stock UJKB4 firmware... no results in the forums and google for this, does some one can helpe me with the BML mapping? I've read that if I just use the commands for another device I could brick mi tab in the restore.

Sorry for insisting, I just made a rotobackup but with the BML mapping that was in the original thread, do this one will work? or do I need to do special configurations to the rotobackup guide?
thanks in advance!
unrooting and restoring factory settings
Does anyone know where I can get a stock ROM for the Galaxy Tab (T Mobile)? I have rooted (and didn't back up first) and would like to know that I can undo everything and reset my Tab to "new" condition. I rooted using z4, but even though I have gained SU access, I do not have an option to unroot.
If you had scrolled down the page you would have noticed the thread entitled
"T-Mobile Stock Firmware"
Give that one a go...
Also, [Q]'s belong in Q&A....
Hope that helps....
hi all
i picked up a used rogers galaxy tab 7".upgraded to 2.3.3 official via kies.
GT-P1000R
rooted it.
unlocked it.
now i wish to use the phone capabilities and have a few questions.
i see in a couple posts that you no longer have to flash a complete rom,just a modem.
is that info correct?
i see that the jm2 modem seems to work best with the rogers tab,so do i just flash the modem with odin and that gives me the voice capability.
or do i need to flash a complete rom(European)?
also there is no dialer program so where do i get that at?or does it come with the modem flash.
is there a better modem than jm2 for the rogers tab?or the bell i9000 modem?
i am in canada
thanks,jeff

Careful what you flash though, if it's from XDA any ROM should do you okay but Samsung official ROMs may contain locked boot loaders. Catch up on some reading before doing anything.
Also i suggest that you do a complete backup of your tab before flashing anything else so that you could revert back in case of issues. Stock ROGERS firmware is hard to find. And if you do a backup I wouldn't mind a copy of it as long as you keep your personal information out. As a matter of fact, what i am after is a un-rooted fully stock ROGERS ROM. As i have deleted my original backup, and would like to revert completely back to stock, I would be very thankfull if you could help. But none the less you should do a complete backup, something like the roto or nandroid backups.
Try the OVERCOME rom, it's a great place to start as a noob to flashing, they have very detailed tutorials and the ROM is good.
EDIT: And the OVERCOME rom does work with the bell i9000 modem just fine for phone calls. Although the volume on the tab is not the greatest for a speakerphone.

unlocked using galaxy s unlock from market.
can i even revert back to stock?if so i will do a backup.
i have done nothing else to the stock rogers 2.3.3

Thanks for the offer. But no need to go through all of that unless you can un root with something like super one click (fast and easy, but I don't think that will work for you). If your tab is still under warranty you might want to learn how to root and unroot and restock and such (its all covered in the forums). Otherwise I don't want you playing with your tab and have a "bad" flash trying to help me out. Do read up in the dev section before you start flashing custom ROMs.
That said if you do feel comfortable flashing and decide to make a backup for yourself I definitely wouldn't mind a copy.

hi
not scared of bricking the tab,i have been flashing samsungs for the last couple years,captivates etc.my last tab i did a supposed gps fix which ended in a bootloop.
i managed to get it back but with a modified 2.2 firmware.then kies would not let me upgrade to 2.3.3(unofficial firmware error)
my problems have always been actually returning to stock.
in recovery i have the orange clockwork recovery that has an option to do factory reset.will this take me back to unrooted and unlocked???
if so consider it done.
i will need direction to do a full backup after that.
jeff
Doing a hard reset will NOT un-root or re-lock your device (as far as I know). The factory reset will clear the data and cache and should not touch the system. You have to un-root your device using the method you rooted it with or something along those lines.
As far as a backup is concerned, creating a system backup has been covered in the forums before. There is plenty of detailed instructions on performing a backuphave a look at the Roto Backup method.
Just picked up a galaxy tab ( rogers )
gt-p1000r
firmware 2.2
all stock
no root
no unlock
I would like to "give back" something
for all the HELLp you guys have given via these forums
( i swear all my grey hair started once i dumped my blackberry and went samsung and found this site! )
Anyway
If you are still looking for the a copy of the STOCK system before I start to play...
I will try to figure out how to make a copy for you
Hi all,
This morning I tried to root my brother phone by using the "1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery.".
Link
After downloading the zip file, copied it onto the external sd card, I applied the update from external storage. Now, my brother phone won't boot.
I am here to visit and now my day is stuck trying to fix this.
Here are two things that I should have done in hind sight.
1. I should have backup his contact information.
2. I should have check his ROM versiion (i.e. ICS or Jelly Bean).
Now, the only thing that I can do is getting into "Philz Touch 5".
I could do backup and restore.
Here are two questions that I have.
1. Is there way I can backup the contact in "Philz Touch 5"? Is this include in the "data" backup.
2. Can recovery this back to previous unrooted "kernel" or origninal kernel.
It seemed that I can also run "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in Kies. It prompted me for the model and serial number and it asked whether I want to proceed. But that would wipe everything.
EDIT: I just tried KIES's "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and it failed. The pop up with a message in "square boxes". I guess it failed doing "Firmware Upgrade and Initialiation." :[
Please, any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Leapfrog.
Okay, I downloaded "N7000ZSLO2 N7000OZSLO2 - Taiwan" from here, installed it and got it back up and running too. Contact list is still remain intact. However, I am not sure it is the right ROM for US T-Mobile model because I got H+ and occasional 3G.
My brother said his is an international version. I am not sure if the correct for his phone.
Can someone please point me to the correct ROM for US T-mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000?
Thanks!!!!

1. Philz kernels are specific to rom version, so lp9 must be flashed with lp9 rom.
2. Goto settings about phone and double check the model number before you do anything else.
3. Urm, think the clue is is the rom title you downloaded (korea)! Go through Dr Ketan's thread and it outlines rom localities.
