[Q] Flash T-mobile SGH-T849

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,
can i flashed samsung tab t849 to samsung tab p1000??? it will not brick my tab???
pls confirm before i flash the tab, thanks

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.

[Q] Video Mode broken! Camera Failiure.

Camera is not going into video mode, shows me a message saying camera malfunction or something, since I did factory reset using recovery mode my phone thinks I'm Dutch so I can't quote exactly what it says other than "camerafout" Ideally I need to take my phone back to Out of box systems so it can be sent for repairs if neccesary, so could anyone tell me how I could possibly flash back to original "three" UK out of box installation? Or even better how to rectify the camera situation.

Flash your original 3 rom back that you saved .
Downgrade to Eclair stock rom via Odin and hope that Kies will update to 3 firmware for Froyo .

You may update camera firmware only.

[Q] trouble with my Sasktel Galaxy S

I tried to use ROM manager to update my rom to overstock, this did not work so well. It installed fine but then the battery refused to charge and all sorts of wierd problems so I used my backup to uninstall and that failed. I downloaded Odin3 v1.7 and downloaded the original stock firmware(eclair) and that failed. I then used UGJH2 and the phone will boot and see the galaxy s load but then the screen goes blank and vibrates periodically. in the recovery (3e) it says Can't mount /dev/block/st110. The last official firmware install was KC1 through kies but I can't find that anywhere is there any hope for this(sweating cause wife might find out)

I am also on sasktel and am an impulsive flasher (1-5 times daily) Heres an easy, fast fix. GO here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-rc5-easy.2382/
go to section enabled "For GT-I9000 users only" and follow step by step. You can stop at step 2 if you want to leave your rom stock samsung or do last few steps to have darkys on there. EIther way once done you'll also have to enable the 850 band *#2263# then enable wcdma 850 option. Also you will have to manually enter your APN under network options. I use inet.stm.sk.ca for sasktel. Note that the Ficeto_JVB.zip download there includes all needed to flash (.pit file, rom, odin). THis is always my fail safe method after boot loops ( I always screw something up playing around lol).
ps: also depending how desperate you are and how trusting you are, I work at sasktels head office in the cornwall and if you wish I am sure I could take 15 mins out of my day tomorrow to do this for you, although you will not be able to get through security so you will have to trust me taking off with your phone lol. email me at [email protected] if needed.

trouble is I can't put things on SD card because I can't get it to load android

You won't be able to load eclair through Odin because JL2 installed a new SBL (secondary boot loader). Go to samfirmware.com, download JL2, and use odin to flash that. Once that's flashed it should fix your issues. Then, if you want a custom ROM, try the romkitchen (romkitchen.org).

problem solved!! turns out darkyrom did fix my phone, I couldn't push the zip file to my phone but their tar file got my phone working! Thanks for all the help

I loled, I've been in the same boat, wife is always asking me why I always have to mess around with stuff. Shoulda seen her face after I soft bricked the phone the first time.

Just rooted my phone
I am new to this, I can do all kinda of things with my pc but with my phone a different story lol. I don't understand when you say "Eclair". Is that a different model or is that stock. I am too from sasktel.

Android 2.1 is Eclaire, 2.2 is Froyo and 2.3 is Gingerbread... Ice cream is next 4.0

hi guys, I know this is an old post but has anyone successfully unlocked their Sasktel i9000 vibrant without paying any unlock code service? has anyone tried anything like the SGS Unlock Pro that claimed to unlock all GSM galaxy S phones but did not list Sasktel? anyways, from the sound of it is Darky's rom currently the best for i9000's? I wanted to try CM9, so i did the super 1 click root and followed the CM wiki page to push clockwork recovery to the phone through Heimdall Suite but both times i tried failed and stuck in a boot loop so both times i ended up going through Odin to fix it. (super 1 click root didnt seem to stick b/c i lost superuser after fixing the phone w/ Odin, is that normal?)
anyways i had a very unique situation, originally had a Bell i9000m but died 1 week later tried to fix it numerous times for 7-8 months ( i live in U.S., and Sammy refuse to fix it b/c i dont have a canadian address they can send it back to b.s.) anyways finally landed myself a dead i9000m w/ broken screen, so i took both apart and put the working parts together. now 1 working phone with 3 problems: 1) so it seems that it's currently locked to Sasktel (it can be done but i'm curious if there is a cheaper way or even free) 2) CM wiki suggested Heimdall push CW recovery cause boot loop (some on xda suggested flashing the phone back to 2.2 (or 2.1??) first) 3) i was playing around and click on screen update and lose my touch keys ever since (ppl also suggest flashing it back to 2.1 and reupdate the keys, but will a bell i9000m 2.1 stock rom be compatible w/ the i9000m from Sasktel?)
anyways lots of questions there but if anyone can answer anyone of these would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Update: problem 1 is taken cared of. SGS Unlock Pro worked like a charm. tested, working. other 2 problem still unsolved.

[Q] Mobile Network State "Disconnected".

After rooting my LG Optimus 2X and installing CM7 as directed via the instructions my phone failed to bot up the new rom correctly, it just froze at the CM7 intro startup video of the blue character. I then tried to implement the recovery of the backup I made before installing the rom through rom manager in the boot recovry screen, but after applying the recovery to the original stock rom that too also froze at the start up screen so I found some instructions to then take out the battery and connect to a PC via USB which I then had to download and reinstall stock firmware which was successful and the phone is fully operational. I can produce and recieve calls/sms/etc but it is unable to connect to to any network to enable me internet access even though it worked an hour before ****ing my phone up in the the "about phone" info it says "Not Roaming" and Mobile Network State "Disconnected". even with full bars. Could this be cause by installing stock firmware from a different country or firmware intended for a locked phone?
I am with 3(three) in Australia on a $49 Plan but bought the phone outright/unlocked from an authorized dealer.
Any help and insight would be great. Cheers.

Maybe you could state how you flashed the original FW and what original FW you flashed ?

[Q] Need help with bad signal (yes i have the right modem for my region installed)

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my phone, it is a Samsung Galaxy S I9000. I have android 2.3.6 running, it is stock firmware. Now i don't know the original firmware that was on it, and it was flashed with a custom rom before. I reflashed stock firmware which was:
Buildnumber: gingerbread.XWJVH
android version: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL 184813 [email protected] #2
I then updated via Samsung Kies, and came to this firmware:
Buildnumber: gingerbread.XWJW1
android version: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9000XXJVT
and its stock kernel (dont remember it)
I then flashed the most recent speedmod kernel for galaxy s:
kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVT-CL617736 [email protected] #k16-11 (i used it to root my phone)
Now the problem is that the custom rom that was flashed was a 4.0 android rom. It worked, but then one time when the phone was just on (standby) it suddenly shutdown, and wouldn't boot back up. I tried reflashing the rom using the same (CWM) method as before but it still booted a black screen whenever i started it up. I then flashed another rom which did work. Eventually i went back to a stock rom and this is why:
I have a bad signal everywhere, with every modem (tried several, all for my region). I do not know exactly at which point the signal problems started in this story, but i need help fixing it. I do know that at the original firmware that was on the phone, signals were good.
With a bad signal I mean that I have zero, one or 2 bars reception, 3 bars when im at the attic of our house, and also a lot of times outside I have no service at all (at places where I should be having it).
-I already tried restoring the nv_data.bin from the .bak file.
-I already tried flashing different modems which i am sure of are for my region
-I am using a XEN csc file (im living in the netherlands)
-I already tried messing around with the band selection in service mode of the phone.
-My original IMEI is INTACT!
-My original product code is INTACT!
NOTHING WORKED!!!
I need help please, i thank the ones reading this entire story till the end! and I thank everyone for his or her response (hoping there are gonna be some)

Bump
Does nobody know the problem, since the topic has views but no replies? Can anyone help please?

it could be a hardware problem too..... !!!!! u better try different stock roms or different custom roms....... if there is still no solution then you should take your phone to the service center.
best of luck

@ zamiurratul
Yes I thought of that too, i'm having a handy friend of mine check out the antenna this evening, i'll report back on that later.

Got bad signal as well.
ever since i installed ICSSGS RC4.1
Tried flashing Devil's Kernel 1.0.
Problem is still here!
Any solution?
where can i get best Modem for this build, currently i am with i9000xxjvt?

have any backups? have you tried flashing a different rom? does your provider use 850 band? if no backups try a different rom, if provider uses 850 band try
jl2 modem or jk4. if your using cm or miui rom make sure the modems you are using are made for those roms.

OK, thanks this is first step.
Downloaded yaff explorer to browse my backup.
Where do I find my modem from backed up system?
And where can I find a flashable version of the modem?
Or alternatively, how do I know if my carrier uses 850?
Or, how can I find compatible modems for my ROM (ICS team)+ carrier?

As for backup you'd have to restore the whole rom you were on previously. Either through ROM manager or in recovery.
