[Q] Middle East Gingerbread JPJP9-Please Confirm - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can somebody confirm this?

via kies only
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showpost.php?p=2566836&postcount=251

To those who tried this, any feedback please?
I am getting impatient waiting for the official update to arrive here in Kuwait. Since I can not post this in the development section, I am posting it here.
My tab is not yet rooted so that will be the first thing to do if I will go through this process.
Thanks.

I also live in Kuwait and tried to update it through Kies but there were no updates available. Has anyone else received the update through Kies in Kuwait or the middle east?

If you're ready to move from Stock to ROM and you're looking for a ROM with Arabic full support then I advise you to go for the OVERCOME with its last release ICARUS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
For rooting, you'll find on the install guide the link to the rooting thread. After rooting, you should select the full wipe option.
If you're not sure about any step post your question and you'll get the adequate support.

I'm not at the point where I want to run custom roms. Last I checked, you lose 3g capabilities - IE you have 3g data but 2g phone or no phone at all. Or, you have 3g phone but no data capability. Unless that's changed, I supposed I'll wait a lil longer for the update from Kies

I bought my SGT1000/3G last March and since I flashed the custom ROM on the beginning of June, I felt like I got a newnew Tab. On top of this we're enjoying a new update every 2 to 3 weeks. Any update from SAMSUNG take several months to come. Also my Tab is working fine and enjoying features that are not available on the stock ROM.
If I have any issue I'll never defend such choice.

Hi! Thanks for the reply and the suggestion is actually appreciated. I have been reading that thread for a few days now (not continuously, though) but I believe I am not yet ready for that at this time.
Eventually, I will update / upgrade into that ROM / kernel.

[Q] New User of SGT in Philippines

Hi, Thanks if your reading this and answering me i really can understand what to do so ill just ask so many stupid question and see if you know some of them. so First how do i know if i have a GSM / CDMA?. Next if i got either the two one what is the best way to optimize my Tab. in a certain way that i can root/flash/rom/hack or etc. and my main concern is that if i was to return all it back like a factory restore can it be done?.
So in anyway possible help me i bought my SGT in Philippines and we get like a Open Line SGT i can use all our Telcom providers and use Different Sim Cards so i really can't tell what to do first.

You have the GSM Tab, I'm sure. CDMA is NOT very common in the Philippines, and you have a sim card slot, CDMA doesn't have this.
Also, unless your Tab was illegally imported from somewhere, you have the international version.

I recommend you try out your stock ROM first, and read heavily on these forums. Know your Tab, current firmware, etc..
Once you've decided to play around your tab's ROM, then follow these guidelines. NOTE: It is possible that you will end up with a very expensive paperweight (brick) if you make a mistake somewhere along the way. Tread carefully.
First, enter *#1234# in your phone dialer to get your Tab's firmware.
2nd: backup your data (in Kies) and apps (in Titanium Backup)
3rd: Root your device using SuperOneClick (this voids your warranty)
SuperOneClick with instructions can be found here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4th: Verify that your "bootloader" is not locked. Last few releases by Samsung locked the bootloader so flashing the firmware may damage or brick your Tab.
You can use Bootloader patch to check. It's here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071&highlight=*#1234#
Again, read carefully and follow the directions..
5th: Finally, one of the best ROMs out there is Overcome. You will find all you need here. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
I suggest you print out the included instructions (in pdf). You will also find all the links to files that you need in this thread.
I cannot stress further the gravity of your decisions... .. Follow the steps carefully and faithfully..
6th: If something goes wrong (I hope not), please don't blame me.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the warning i kinda know Bricking and doing this to Galaxy Tab is Voiding your Warranty but i was so stupid i cant tell if i am using GSM but now for what you told me GSM is a Tab that use Sim and for using my Tab now its kinda great but i wanna maximize my Tab so i can do different things and for now ill just read and read but still going to wait for more things and before i do this i am going to enjoy my Tab. Already Sold my iPad and i kinda want to know if SGT 7" is already good or ill be buying the new SGT 8.9 and 10.1 so for now thank you very much and already reading some files but wish some Filipino already tried this but i think ill do just fine i can understand some part but still need to read first and will ask again if need help. BTW are you a Filipino or ???
I'm a Filipino too.
Voiding your warranty should be no problem since you can unroot your phone back. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that you got the GSM one since as Sef pointed out, it's pretty rare for us to use a CDMA device (partly thanks to our backwards and slow internet back home).
Moreover, to optimize your device, just try the ROMs out. You should read the guides how to flash them, of course, whether you wanna use Heimdall or Odin.
Pinoy ako! Hehehe.. (Im Filipino too! LOL)
I feel the same way now about flashing.. I am confident in doing it but am still doing heavy research. Take note that some roms do not have all the features of the stock rom, and they have bugs too.
Maybe in a month or so, I`ll flash this tab and then update this thread.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Okay Thanks ill be doing it too in a few weeks or months just need to double check some details and if i make it success full ill make a guide how i did mine. wish someone in phil can make a video or guide . i keep hearing that using mod ROMs rocks. but still lets see what happen.
hi bro. im also in the phils. ive got my tab from smart for two months, and i'd say im quite satisfied with the stock rom. with all the posts i read from various threads regarding problems in installing custom roms (the latest, also here, regarding overcome sucking the tab's batt), im not fully convinced to try it. my two cents: why fix something that is not broken?
ive had my sonyericsson xperia x8 also for quite sometime now, and flashing it is much less complicated than doing it in the tab. i simply cant risk bricking my tab!
also,a wk ago i had my tab repaired in samsung head office because of dim display. they replaced the lcd even if my tab is already rooted. so rooting i think doesnt make you lose your warranty! they even upgraded my firmware. love the new date, time and weather widgets.
i will just wait for the gingerbread upgrade this may!

im finding it hard to use kies with the tab here in the office. i already tried two computers, one with xp and the the other with vista. kies in my windows xp laptop at home successfully detected my tab. ill try when i get home, and ill post after.
to my fellow users of sgt here in the philippines: what case are you using with your tab, and where did you get it? i cannot find the best case for sgt here in the philippines.
On my side. It detects my tab but says its version cannot be updated.
As for casing im using a rubber case

Ya..I tried this update yesterday OTA and had the same issues (I'm rooted and unlocked with webtop hack)..after about 20% I get the exclamation mark in the triangle telling me its failed. I was hoping to log on this morning and find the sbf ready to upload
I have the french SBF installed and greyblur/root. - I havent tried it, I doubt it will work on the french SBF. I really didn't realize how screwed we bell guys are without a factory SBF to work with. I feel like we get shafted out of all countries that got the atrix.
I just got my battery life issues sorted out, So even if i were able to try it, I wouldn't want to, But maybe there are useful fixes in it for the developers. We are getting custom roms for the ATT phones. Hopefully bell and international are soon.
I saw a post on motorola's forums from a guy who has a bell atrix that wants them to post a factory sbf for us so that we are "on par" with other countries around the world. i agree.
Should we stay on 2.1.1 and wait to flash the modem only or is this version better than 2.1.1
I hAve a bell atrix..

I am/was rooted and I was able to do the update. Just a bunch of fixes in it I guess. No major changes except for the faster upload. That's nice
You will have to re-root after installing it though. Gingerbreak works fine.
i installed the french sbf to get grey blur going so i'm guessing update won't work...

I'd like to know this as well.
I'm thinking of at least flashing the new radio after work today though. People seem to say it's better than the one shipped with 2.1.1. I'll keep checking these threads though to wait for more comments.
Thanks for sharing your comments and experiences, guys. It's always very much appreciated.
I Didn't say it wont work for the french SBF, I just haven't tried.
I'm at work right now and can't have my phone go down at all, or i'll get fired. Which is why im not just jumping in and testing it.
Can someone confirm if it works or not with the Telstra SBF? I'm not on stock sbf, im greyblurred. If it does work, i'll re-sbf this thing to 2.1.1, and run the bell update.
I think my issue is that i'm rooted/greyblurred. So unless is flash sbf, and then try, i doubt it will work here.
I tried to run this over the French SBF, but was unable to.

I took the Bell 37.23 update this morning.
My root was gone (I had originally rooted using GladRoot 4.3) and there was no longer any /osh/sbin/frozenfish.
I re-rooted my 37.23 using Gingerbreak 1.20 and it worked perfectly.
EDIT: just ran Speedtest.net mobile in downtown Montreal (great reception quality) and got 5737 kbps down and 2335 kbps up
Can I run the update even if i have froze all the bloatware? And will I have to re-freeze them after the update? ¸

[Q] ICS Official update quick question.

Hi Guys, been reading up on Android for a while and have to say you guys are awesome some really great info in here.
i just have one quick question if someone would be so kind to help.
i was awaiting the ICS update and checking the Facebook page (and here). wasnt feeling experienced enough to do the whole root and mod stuff yet (hopefully soon)
but on the facebook page. i noted this link for a simple official upgrade

maybe im reading too much into it
thanks the help ill be sure to thank anyone
You should be fine. This is really affecting what seems to be the rooted version with chain fire. I have the official stock lpy and have no issues. So I would just recommend staying where you are at the moment and don't attempt to root or go into cwm.

lol you just freaked me out aswell, but i guess this has nothing to do with the official stock Germany ICS release, right!? Cos i Flashed it yesterday and its working great so far!!!!
Or is this something that can happen down the line?
The announcement is for ICS repacks from previous leaks
+1 ! i'm also hesitant on rooting and flashing because i'm too busy at the moment and can't be bothered with a bricked phone.
The announcement you're refering to is quite old though and concerns ICS repacks that were built using leaks while the official G-Note ICS from Samsung was still under development.
If you flashed your phone using the official ICS downloaded from samsung directly you shouldn't have any problem.
Also, i'm not 100% sure about this but i think flashing (even an official and clean stock rom) can go dreadfully wrong (=bricked phone) if there's a problem (like a powerfailure or computer crash or if your cat jumps on your phone and disconnects the cable) in the very first phases after you launched the operation. That's when the program installs all the required boot files on the phone and if those are missing, it just will never turn on again.
I also asked some folks in another post on the forum and they assured me that most roms are safe to flash if they we're built from stock roms. So since GB has been out for so long, it's pretty much safe to flash any GB-based custom rom. Now that ICS is out, it'll be pretty safe to flash custom ROMs based on ICS in a month or two i guess.
I'm too inexperienced to give advice but i think you'll be fine. Hope the above info was useful.

few noob questions

sorry about these noob questions...but let start:
1. i got an att&t 8.9 3.2 honeycomb os. what is the latest os (official or unofficial) out there now that works smoothly with my device meaning everything works, front and back camera, sound etc. links would be great.
2. i'm getting ipc communication popup error every once in awhile. what does this error mean? how do i get rid of this error. i assume if i update to latest os, the error will be gone? btw, i dont have a sim card inserted in my device, so i don't really know if its matter?
3. my device sometime auto dim. how do i turn off auto dim if i want it to stop?
4. how do i get kies? do i install it on both my device and pc? if on my pc, where is the install file?
thx in advance.

Not familiar with your device but I'll give it a try anyway.
3: Press the time in lower right corner and then set a fixed brightness.
4: Kies for windows is avalable on Samsung webpage. Search for your device on support and then select software.
Kies for wifi is awailable on google play and is only needed if you want to syncronize over the air.
Did a search for ROM's but just came up with a custom here on xda. Hopefully someone else will help you.

i did a search on android market for kies and all it came up was kies air from samsung. it is basically for sharing files between your tab 8.9 device with any devices on your wifi network. is that it? if yes, i thought kies allow you to update your os to the latest os if there are any from samsung via wifi. if no, where is the actual kies on android market? thx in advance.

Kies air (app) is for syncronizing your tab (files/contacts/music...) by wifi via Kies installed in your computer. It's not a wifi sharing tool.
Kies for PC is downloaded from Samsung webpage to your computer, not on to yor tab via market
If you install Kies in your computer and then plugin your tab (via cable) to it you can update the tab's system aswell as syncronize files (faster than wifi)
I dont think it's possible to update system via Kies air.

I suspect your tab isn't rooted. Then you should download Kies.
Go to the Samsung webpage, select support and then manuals and downloads.
Choose your device (you can choose the 7310, it makes no differens when downloading Kies)
When Kies is installed just plug in your tab and choose "update firmware"
Look for my post about flashing the us version o your P7310. If cant find out i'll help u.
Cheers.

A step by step guide for odin you'll find in the 7310 development department. Good luck
So for a beginner, which one is easier for me to do? Go to samsung website download kies and update my firmware to ics or do odin?
Also I read on some threads after some ppl upgrading their os, they had charging problem. What kind of problems are these and what are the steps to take to get rid of these problems? What do you need to do before you upgrade your os?
Thx in advance.

The charging problem relates to people who updated their P73x0 with an image ported from the Tab 10.1.
I am not sure which Tab you have. Is it an 8.9 3G or an 8.9 LTE?
If it's an 8.9 3G model, and you don't mind not having support for a SIM card, then the modded / rooted image from the 7310 will work for you. If you ahve the LTE version then this image is definitely not suited for your device. So be careful!
I have a 3G model myself, currently without sim card. I decided not to wait anymore and flashed the modified 7310 ICS image onto it. I am completely happy. Everything works, except the sim card (because the image is for the wifi-only tab) and it is a lot smoother and faster than the honeycomb image.

You'll need to root your device and flash CWM. All is explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
Have fun!

So for a beginner, which one is easier for me to do? Go to samsung website download kies and update my firmware to ics or do odin?
Also I read on some threads after some ppl upgrading their os, they had charging problem. What kind of problems are these and what are the steps to take to get rid of these problems? What do you need to do before you upgrade your os?
Thx in advance.

This is based on the assumption that your'e not rooted and using a stock ROM.
The easiest way is to update via Kies:
No need for root
Coming from stock ROM most apps will continue to work
You wont void warranty
No special effort required from you
The battery issues some have had is best avoided by upgrading with a full battery (no garanties though)
I did my upgrade via CWM. I did a full wipe and then formatted system, cache and data folders before updating (all apps and settings are lost)
I haven't had any problem, actually my tab has better stamina now.

not sure but as far as I understood from reading elsewhere, the AT&T tab is an LTE version, with wholly different hardware. if so, stay away from Odin flashing p7300/7310 ROMs !
Yes in the back of my 8.9. It does say 4g lte. So I guess I got the lte version. If I got the lte version, I guess none official ics update yet? If not, are there any unofficial version of it anywhere? If yes, is the unofficial bug free and can someone provide a direct link plz? Tia.

That's right. Besides, the Rom for the LTE are all Honeycomb so there's nothing to gain.
Kies works just like ota updates. Samsung is responsible for them.
Odin you are the one responsible and u must do all the work.
I did it by odin.
Cheers.

Took this from an other thread. Hope you'll find it helpfull.

A bit more zippy than the stock ROM due to the reasons listed on that thread. Otherwise, it's Samsung's honeycomb image.
Yes, android native tethering, both WiFi and USB, is enabled.
If you still think it's slow, get a new launcher, twlauncher (touchwiz) is kind of a beast...
You can overclock it to 1.7ghz or so and it'll still be reliable, at least that's my experience.
The ATT ICS ROM is in test with the carrier. It'll probably be out in a month or two. Samsung should also release the ICS kernel source around then, after which you'll likely see some custom ICS images -- Nobody wants to bother making custom HC images OR trying to get an ICS kernel working on this device before Samsung releases a proper one -- Several have tried and found it quite a task.

ICS is out for the WiFi versions. The LTE version should be available with Odin or Kies before ATT offers it via OTA.

i rather not go thru all the hassle just for honeycomb mods.
but something does seems to interest me. it said about overclock to 1.7 ghz. how do i find out on my current 8.9 how many ghz is it running right now. and how do i overclock to 1.7 ghz? i assume you need to get some kinda apps from android market? if so what apps is it and is it free?
and what is touchwiz (twlauncher)? where can i get it? is it on the android market also?
thx for everyone help.

There is a thread for the international version but what you need to do is get an apk that changes your "custom" status to "official" then you will be able check for updates. I do believe this thread will get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383484
If you have deleted any apks then it may mess up any updates you take. Or go to sammobile and look for 4.4 firmware for your phone and use Kies to install.
The 9005 can receive it's latest update thru kies, or by going into the settings menu, tap general tab, and scroll down to about device, then system update.
I have only change the md5 file with kies not the rom....I wanted to make the phone rooted not to change the official rom...can I correct this problem with my updates without change the official rom from my phone??? Or is there any app to do that???

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to gain root?
Are you trying to upgrade your firmware on your phone?
Are you trying to change something else on your phone?

I see.
The other reply that I made with the link in it. Follow that link and install what it tells you to install.
After you install it you can make you phone show an "official" status which will allow you to check for updates.
I do not know where the guy in the YouTube video got his firmware.
There is firmware available for the SM-9005 at www.sammobile.com but they seem to be country and carrier specific, I do not know as I do not have that phone.
You may be better off getting instructions in this section of XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3?nocache=1&z=7992070960968063
Good luck and be careful not to brick your phone.

You will probably lose root. It will not reset Knox to 0×0.

Sir I think you're looking for opinions on what to do and that's not what xda is here for. You're not even in the right sub forum for your device. We can talk forever about the pros and cons of custom roms over official releases. If you're worried one bit about knox counter, then do the official release. If you're comfortable with modifying your device and you can follow directions, I recommend you focus all your attention to this sub forum for your device here! The omegadroid link you attached can be found here on xda! I highly suggest you read through the 3000+ posts that users like you made. That might make up your mind for you.
