[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.

Sprint Tab ROM? JME?

Didn't someone get JME Rom working on CDMA Sprint Tabs? By changing the build name around?
I cant find the post, but who ever it is, please give us more details. How'd you do it? Do you recommend it? How is it holding up? Does it brick anything (GPS, MODEM?)
Thank you!

I did it to my Sprint Galaxy Tab, original post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929898)
I had to remove movinand.mst and it flashed fine using Odin, I just followed the directions there.
HOWEVER, the way I did it will make the Tab WIFI Only with no known way to get back until someone can figure out how to dump the sprint stock modem.bin.
That is fine with me as I did not want the 3G, but did want the Bluetooth HID. (now my Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard work)
You might be able to pull the modem.bin file out as well as movinand.mst but I have no idea what that would do, sounds very risky.
M.

did that brick your GPS though?
I use it as WIFI Only as well.
How does the JME run on the tab?
Can you upload the exact JME rom you updated for us CDMA users who are kind of new at this? That is if you still have the version you edited for the Sprint?

If there's one thing I learned with flashing ****.... as long as you don't **** with the radio you can't really mess it up. With that said, don't flash a new modem (radio)

exactly then, cant we just have all these ROMs take out the Modem.bin, wouldn't it be flashable to CDMA then? or no

Yes it borked the GPS as I flashed with the modem file to get rid of sprint, works fine so far and I can use my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard now, had to reinstall all apps though.
I just Flashed Roto's JMG last night, will see how that goes.
I used the ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763 and took out movinand with 7zip.
I assume you could take out the modem file as well or try the update version.
I would put in a request to Rotohammer to make one for the CDMA tabs without modem and movinand to be safe.
No idea if flashing without the modem file will fry the CDMA modem as I cant test this do to no one being able to get the stock Sprint modem dumped yet.
M.

I have no experience in doing this so I was curious on just how someone would go about dumping the stock Sprint Modem? also would we be able to use the epic 4G's modem since it's similar? or would that not work due to the epic having 4G and being a different device? If I knew what direction to go I'd certainly be interested in getting in to this more.

Now if someone can just confirm how to flash without killing the modem, we'll be cooking with gas!

I know that file name is floating around as a flashable "almost stock" ROM that has the Epic 4G modem inserted, so you can recover your sprint tab but lose gps. I would get someone who has already borked their gps by flashing to test it and see if it fixes it before everyone goes flashing this ROM.

If I was doing a restore using the files posted I would not flash the modem.bin. That's what breaks the Tab, not the software.

Need help I bricked my Galaxy Tab by Sprint trying to flash Overcome. Now I am stuck at the Galaxy/Samsung screen of death. Computer recognizes sometimes and others not. Is there a way to get it into download mode again or a I screwed.

[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] Need an urgent help...

Hello all,
I recently bought samsung galaxy s i 9000 it was pre loaded with froyo 2.2 and when ever i connect it to kies it gets connected for the first time and then onn if i disconnect it will never get connected unless i restart the phone.. I tried to update the firmware several times and it downloads the files but gets disconnected in between. I badly wanted to change to ginger bread and just loaded with odin.. Now, I started having the real problem its getting stuck most of the times and i had to open the task manager to free the ram.
But the video player is supporting more formats and no problem connecting with kies.. and i used it for sometime. Now while hanging up a call its getting stuck frequently. And once i had to lose most of my balance.
I decided to roll back my firmware to froyo 2.2 but I came to know I might lose the warranty tampering with O.S.. Is that really so?? And I got an asian version of froyo 2.2.1 for march 2011 from one of the threads and I flashed it into my phone. Now, kies is telling that this version cannot be updated. Can some one please suggest me
1) How I can get back my official firmware...which can also support updates in kies.
2) And Is that possible to retain warranty with any firmware?
I had to spend the whole of sunday over this please suggest me...
Thank you

Go to www.samfirmware.com and register. Download the ROM you want. I'm currently using XXJVR (Android 2.3.4). It is quite stable.
Then, use Odin to flash the ROM onto your device. Make sure you backup all your important data. I recommend MyBackupPro. It's available in the Market.
Then, switch off your phone completely and put it in 'Download Mode' (Volume Down + Home + Power). Connect it to your PC. Make sure you have the drivers installed.
Follow the instructions given on the website to flash with Odin. The XXJVR ROM has only 1 tar file. So, you're gonna have to use this procedure--> http://www.samfirmware.com/Odin I9000 2.png
Best of luck! Do let us know how it goes!

Need some advice with i9000M

Hi guys, I know I need to make this short but I want it to be clear anyway. This is crazy I wanted nothing to do with smartphones 3-4 days ago because all the carriers rip us off with huge bills to get them. But low and behold when my cheap flip phone died after 3 years of loyal daily work a friend of mine offered me his Galaxy S i9000m for a good price. Started playing with the device and having a strong software/computer background started having a lot of fun with all the applications and was amazed with the possibilities (Networking, ipcam whatever) that just kept multiplying until I fell upon applications that needed something called gingerbread... Anyways I can tell you I learned a ****load in 48hours...
So I installed Samsung Kies, it found me the update and put it on for me.. (2.3.3 Gingerbread) then the nightmare started. The phone would boot, and would randomly reboot a random number of times until it could finally stay on and this could last from 2-30 minutes. So I thought, I'll just do a factory reset, to realise that its "STUCK" in 2.3.3 once its updated no going back to 2.1 or 2.2 easily.
Started looking around for ways to downgrade, and EVERY SINGLE LINK redirects to these 'mass download' sites that end up saying the firmwares were taken down for copyright issues. So desperate to find something, I fell upon a multiple CSC FROYO 2.2 firmware for the i9000 and was able to flash that in download mode the phone worked fine, except for me being very curious about the fact that I lost the "M" in my model description...
So started reading this thread(Mostly because I had already realised that with this non i9000m rom I had lost the 3 button DOWNLOAD MODE which i Had before) **** : http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-a...flashing-darky-v9-gt-i9000m-minimal-risk.html
Got it rooted, got clockwork on, never managed to get the voodoo kernel working had errors in CWM.. so I was ready to give up until my eyes caught the
"*#*#2663#*#*
Then click Touch key FW update"
Which I thought would be neat to try.
NIGHTMARE, now BACK and MENU are dead, I understand that this is because I am running a non i9000m ROM and that updating the firmware rendered them unusable.
I came accross a post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869492
Where this problem is adressed, I pretty much understand everything that should be done to get this back on its feet (right now the phone is still working I can use it at least 75% of its functions work except no back and menu)
Where I need your help : I'm not too sure how to attack this the right way, since I can't get into download mode I understand flashing is now more complicated to accomplish and now that I know that I need a i9000m firmware how can I find that...
Sorry for the long post I know I'm a noob here but I wanted to prove I had done all my homework to get where I'm at now seeking help from you guys!
Thanks a lot
Mat

By the way : Galaxy S GT i9000m currently on a 2.2 i9000 rom, my carrier is BELL. (Canada)

So there's no way of updating to 2.3.3 using Kies?
The only thing I can think of is getting a USB jig from ebay, which makes the i9000 go to download mode instantly. Good luck!

Alright, so I used CHECK FUS, and was able to get the i9000m stock BELL firmware YAY
now the help I need is to flash it correctly and find a way to get past the no download mode problem, would be very appreciated,
thanks guys
No, similar minds Sepharite, I also thought of redoing the Kies method, and then going back again if I needed to but now Samsung Kies says "Your device does not support firmware updates through Kies" Wow.. useful app, a samsung native app can't even detect it's own fricking hardware.
Thanks

UPdate : Was able to restore the 3 button "DOWNLOAD MODE" with a little tutorial online. Now I tried flashing my i9000m with ODIN, it flashed all the way and I get a i9000M logo now but it gets to the splash S logo and keeps rebooting never gets into the actual android setup is there something I did wrong?
In Odin all I put was the "BELL i19000m stock ROM" under PDA and wrote it. The device rebooted after flash but there still seems to be something I haven't done right.
Thanks guys

Please help guys, I know some of you out there have got this stuff nailed down!

Did you flash with a 1 file ROM or a 3 file ROM?
Using the UGKG3 ROM that you can fine here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Place the 3 files in their respective places (PDA, PHONE, CSC), for the PIT file, select the 512 pit file that should have come with ODIN, connect the phone, wait for ID:COM to turn yellow, and press Start.
That should get you going again. You may get apps that force close, so you'll need to delete the apps data and then reinstall them.

Hey thanks a lot man ya my flash was a SINGLE FILE, I bricked it yesterday trying to flash a different ROM since I had nothing to lose, I just got it working again on the old 9000 ****ty version that my back and menu keys don't work...
Now for some reason the USB JIG doesn'T work anymore after a couple of uses... could something have been damaged by doing it many times?
And your original roms section they are all unavailable due to copyright did you check the links before sending them?

When you say get the stock roms, I was able to get the UGKG3 file, but what about the versions? When I look at the north american section of the 2.2 version
UGKC1/UGKC1/BMCKC1/Sbl
UGJL2/UGJL2/BMCJL2/Sbl
UGJK3/UGJK3/BMCJK3
which one of the three suits me?
Thanks for your help, and if I get this running and go back and update my touch key firmwares with the right "Vibrant / 9000M" roms I should get them working again?
PS : I'm also very preoccupied by the fact that the USB JIG fix doesn'T seem to pop download mode anymore because this version of the ROM that I have has Download mode not working with the 3 button method. :S I wonder whats going on, but basically if I get your ROMS working the first time It'll fix everything but if it crashes then I lose the galaxy haha

Not sure why the USB jig doesn't work anymore. I have a couple and have only tested them on my phone to make sure they work, but they did not work on a Galaxy S II that I tried it on.
I just checked and the download link for the UGKG3 ROM at multiupload (downloading from multiupload), still works (you need to enter the captcha phrase).
The site megaupload was shut down by the US gov't, so that one won't work.
EDIT: UGKC1/UGKC1/BMCKC1/Sbl is the latest Froyo release from Bell. That's what mine and my wife's gt-i9000m phones came with.
She's still running it on hers.

Ok sorry for all these posts, basically when you said UGKG3 you want me to get the 2.3.3 ROM on ? Is that right? What if I Want to put on 2.2 to be sure I have no trouble with it since I'm in all this mess because the Kies update to Gingerbread had my phone in a bad state.
Thanks a lot by the way!

Sorry your post refreshed right after I did mine. Alright cool so I'll try the one you say your wife is running, I had made myself a JIG with a stock Samsung wire, it was working fine with a 300K resistor and I decided to solder it on and then it stopped working after that.... maybe the actual "usb plug" is damaged from the soldering heat I guess I'd have to try another wire, but anyway I'll try to download the 2.2 I just got the UGKG3 3 FILE rom downloaded one of the links did work!
But I'm a little worried about 2.3.3
I'll try to see if i can download the 2.2 first.
I mean basically... these roms shouldn't jam during transfer i Guess

One other thing I see different confusing information, is it important for me to click 'update bootloader" with these stock roms since these files contain an 'SBL' ? Because both times I bricked it was with an "update bootloader checked" firmware update trying to put the ARIES 3 button method fix as a boot.bin and sbl.bin
Fanks..

Files with SBL in the name already have the bootloader included in the PDA file, so "update bootloader" should NOT be checked.

That reassures me, because the only times it did jammed was when the bootloader was checked! THanks a lot blackrose i'll go out and buy another usb cable because I destroyed mine making my JIG. And I'll try yours out. I was reading a lot on another thread and found this one guy who flashed the JL2 one to save his keys instead of the C1 you said your wife was running, whats the main difference between those two and which one should I start with?

Update : I got a new wire, flashed the KC1 version of the firmware, everything goes fine, I did a repartition with the 512 PIT, it reboots the phone, loads all files in a prompt in yellow and there are no errors that appear, the phone reboots after writing 'successful update' and then goes to the galaxy logo and jams there and does the ONE vibrate, PAUSE, 2 vibrate on a black screen forever. The advantage of having successfully flashed a 9000M ROM allows me to have access to my DOWNLOAD MODE 3 button method, but ever since I flashed that 2.2 i9000 XXJP2 (seems its a euro version) off a torrent I found on the web (When I was desperate to find a functioning 2.2 working version) it seems as though it doesn'T want to boot with any other rom than that one, because all the 9000M roms that I've tried so far flash correctly, and the logo actually changed from i9000 to i9000M on the startup, but they just don't boot.. what could be missing it doesn't seem to be much???
Thanks Mat

If any of this can help, the device was rooted, I was following the darky's mod i9000M guide so I had previously installed the CLOCKWORK MOD and that's as far as I got because my eyes caught the FIRMWARE TOUCH KEY UPDATE which ruined my keys.
Could any of this have screwed something that stops my other roms from booting?
Thanks guys I really want to get this phone up and working again as I don't have much money and am afraid I'll have to cancel with my phone company if I just can'T get this running. I am also willing to make a significant donation to whoever can help me.

You in Canada right? Where abouts?

Alright, if this can help anybody my whole problme is solved.
I flashed the ****JL2**** the KC1 did not boot, the JL2 did.
Once inside JL2, I was able to update my TOUCH KEY FIRMWARE *#*#2663#*#* and everything went back to normal
I have no idea why the KC1 does not work, bugs me out.
