Hello everybody!
I am new on the Samsung galaxy tab's world and I need your lights.
I bought from my Country the Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with the below features:
PDA: P1000BUJMC
Phone: P1000BUJM2
CSC: P1000njRjm3
I followed your guide (showthread.php?t=888071) and the process was failed somewhere before the end.
After I followed some other guide and I use some other files from the thegalaxytabforum and from samfirmwares.com sites and after I see that my Tab features had been changed to the below:
PDA: P1000BUJMC
PHONE: P1000BUJM2
CSC: P1000VD2JM3.
Also I observe some changes on my Tab. These are:
a. The local settings has been changed to German.
b. After I used an application which I don't remember now, the functions keys light has been dissapeared.
c. I Listen a noise when I try to call.
So, I have some queries for you:
1.Which of the two process above is the correct?
2.How to reback my country's settings? Is there any secret code for it?
3.How to switch on the light on the menu,home, back and search keys?
4.How is the correct proccess to upgrade my tab firmware -if there is the correct firmware on my tab now-to android 3.0 -honeycomp like Samsung Galaxy tab 10.
5. What is the operation of PIT,PDA AND CSC files?
6.what is the difference between a protected and non protected bootloader?
7. Does PDA is the Bootloader?
8. Does the protected Bootloader mean that the phone is locked from the provider?
9.How to change a protected Bootloader with a non protected?
10.Are there different upgrades for the samsung galaxy tab for every country or not?
11.Can I find and download an other country upgrade for my tab? Is it right or not?
12.Can I fix the above problem with call? Is there any secret code to fix it?
I am waiting for your replies.
Friend, you didn't say what guide you were using, and what was your goal.
I will pass on all your other questions until we get the rom flashed properly.
You made a great profile!
Friend rangercaptain, I tried to install the Honeycomp or Android 3.0 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000.
If you read again my thread you will see somewhere in the middle that I write for the xda-developers.com guide.Also, I write that I used files from thegalaxytabforum.com and samfirmware.com sites.
So, my problems are three:
1. I want to re-install the frist default settings on my Tab and I don't know where I can find these files on the internet.
2. I want to recover the functions keys light or better the light on the screen's menu.
3. I want after setup of First Default Settings , to install the Honeycomp on my Tab of 7 inches same like Samsung Galaxy Tab 10's firmware.
I believe that I explained you what is my goal and what I want to recover on my Tab.
Thank you for your reply and for your time.
I am waiting for your answers,
John
You can get JMC rom at www.samfirmware.com.
Although your country is Greece, what carrier is your tab from? Maybe there is a stock rom from your carrier.
friend my carrier is Vodafone GR.
Could I found something about it?
You can start a new thread asking someone to extract a backup of that carrier stock rom. Then you can flash it like any rom. Start the thread, and I'll help you.
Be sure to put the carrier in the title and be specific about what you want.
Thank you Rangercaptain!
So, If I find a person with the same Tab and with the same features I can take a full backup from this Tab?
How I can extract these files(PIT,PDA,PHONE,CSC) from this Tab?
Friend,
I did a mistake. My carrier is not Cosmote but Vodafone GR. I confused it with my second phone's carrier.
I posted an answer on your other thread.

Hi all, im new to android and i recently purchased a samsung galaxy S. i come from htc windows mobile and i need help understanding the different components of ROM in the galaxy S/android.
right now i have
PDA: I9000XXJF3
Phone: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000XAJF3
basically, i dont really understand what are those things. Im assuming phone=modem/radio, and pda=ROM revision.
1.what is CSC?
when i downloaded a new ROM from samsung-firmware, there is only one file in it, which is PDA.
2.do i need all 3 components to ensure the phone is usable after flash?
3.can i mix and match any phone and csc file from different ROMs?
4.im trying to get my phone to work in china, is there any region specific PHONE or CSC file that i should use, or can i just use any Europian files and they will work automatically in china?
5.is there some kind of HSPL thing in android phones i need to take care of before flashing so i wont brick my phone?
i find them really complicated, in htc windows mobile phones, there are only 2 things to consider and they are straight forward. Radio ROM is what it is, Radio. and there is the ROM version, which is straight forward as well. and they can be mixed and matched as long as the phone model is the same. no region problems. can someone help me to understand this from a windows mobile user perspective please? thank you.
Hi
I'm newbee too - and it seems that we are on our own, since nobody here answers Q unless the Q is top dollar relevant :-(
I've f/w updated my Galaxy S Gt-i9000 twice.
I did it PRECISELY as described in the "how-to-doc" that U-ll find on Samsung-firmware. And YES; they say use PDA if there's only one file.
What I did, was looking carefully at the printed screens in the how-to-guide.
CSC: Language-something.
PDA: ...?
After fW update I "reset-to-factory". Don't know if thats needed. Maybe it resets original fw? Does it load settings/fw from ROOT.... Don't know; but would like to know if somebody would be so kind.
Kindly (but...)
I think the reason for no answers is that they have already been answered in the forum.
Frezore is right. Questions like that stay unanswered because they have been asked 100 times before. I'll make an faq thread tomorrow morning.
Basically:
CSC is country specific code. It's some app as well as settings for 3G network providers and things like that. However, as of now only russian and region independent CSCs are available with the newer ROMs. In order to get internet on your phone in china you'll have to enter the APN manually. Info like that varies per provider and its easily found using google.
The phone file is what you would call the radio rom.
The PDA is the ROM. The software/firmware. It include android and all the apps that get installed along with it like samsungs touchwiz and swype.
It is preferable to update all three at the same time, however, not always necessary. An outdated modem (phone) firmware might result in compatibility issues (although very unlikely) and old CSCs can cause problems if the apps are outdated or apn settings are wrong.
However, CSCs, phone and pda files ate always distributed in complete packages so there really isn't abig deal.
There is no such thing as HSPL. Firmwares on samsung phones are installed using Odin (samsung-firmwares.com).
If you factory reset (just like on the wimo phones) you'll revert to the original settings of the rom/firmware you currently have installed. To get your phone completely back to factory settings you'll have to flash the factory rom that came with your device.
FAQ thread tomorrow.

Terminal mode? It's a kind of Linux. Just download and install terminal software, there are plenty of them on Market.
[Q] Kies "This version cannot be updated"; Telstra-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7in ABANDONED?
Hi Friends,
Last week I bought 2 Tabs (Currently at AUD 400 outright). Since playing & today I found that, in Kies it says "This version of device cannot be updated." [See attached image]
What does it mean? Telstra model is GT-P1000T. Does it means Samsung/Telstra will not issue updates/upgrades for GT-P1000T??
what if we upgrade unofficial ROMs? Does these models GT-P1000T/GT-P1000L/GT-P1000N/GT-P1000 have any hardware differences that can brick the tab?
I appreciate you feedback.
Thanks & Regards,
-------------------------------------------
Just ROOTed & Clockwork Recovery installed..
It means the version of kies has a problem
Hi - Yes I have the same issue. I just upgraded to the latest version of Kies, and I have a Telstra Galaxy Tab, and get the same message "This version of the device cannot be updated"..
Keen to understand whether other ROMs are workable to upgrade the device past the JJ3 PDA, JJ3 Phone and JJ4 (Tel) CSC
You can update to overcome rom. I flashed my telstra tab the other week. Works fine!
+1 can apply custom ROM. FYI I also bought it for $400 3 days ago but checked today.. & telstra got it $299 out right online only price... no winning for me :-(
wich method did you use to get clockwork on the telstra tab
same in uk
+1 for the Galaxy Tab WiFi GT-P1010. The Kies program indicates that I have the latest and there are no options for OTA updates. The firmware & Android had better be able to be updated.
Wow. I got my tab for $899 from Telstra in December. Cant belive they are selling them outright for $299. fwiw these are the same network freq as the ATT tabs and they run custom firmware without a problem.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
bought the tab from telstra on the 299 price tag. just installed kies on my windows pc and found that i have the same problem too.
Update: I got jmi via kies. If You are having issues try a custom rom at your own risk (jmi is way better than jj3)
I also have a Galaxy Tab, the P1000T. I have tried to root it so I could make a back up, but none of the rooting programs work. They go through the motions, but end result is nothing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to flash the device, with a 'unoffical' update, you need root access.
I don't want to brick the device, but I would like to update the OS/ROM.
Nowonmai, I have 2 Telstra p1000t's. You need to use super one click to root the tab. It's on the forum, do a search. Make sure to READ the instructions...
If you then decide to upgrade to Gingerbread, Follow the Instructions EXACTLY. I found the modem.bin in the [11.MAY.2011][ROM][GSM][2.3.3] ◄► Overcome ROM v2.0.0 BETA 2 ◄► GINGERBREAD!!! ◄► thread, the rest is in the [stock rom][2.3.3] p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjpz thread...
Works a treat...

I searched for "super one click" and all I got back was "Super one hip", something about a bag for toting things for kids.
EDIT: I searched for it as superoneclick and located it. Sorry took a while for the caffeine to kick in.
did anyone find out how to upgrade to 2.3 on telstras galaxy tab??? please let me know. or post a link if already has been discussed in detail
Yep
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
Works fine.
CSC can be changed after flash (I set mine to XEU)
Product code still ends in (TEL) though and same error from Kies about unable to update.
Otherwise works fine and lost crappy Telstra apps and boot splash.
All good!
Rooting not required.
Solved
hi i have the same problem too. but i found a solution. (Singapore Galaxy Tab owners - no need to go to service center))
1 first back up (very important)
2 check your region using *#272*IMEI# (mine is XSP Singapore)
3 then i change it to XTC (Philippines)
4 it will make factory reset
5 update you kies
6 plug it and ready to upgrade
7 after the upgrade you can return it back to the previous region (no. 2) (optional)
8 restore back up
9 download all your previous apps.
then enjoy..........
How do you check you region code ?
check your region using *#272*IMEI# (mine is XSP Singapore)
I cant type "IMEI" in the dialer ?
Sorry got it.... I inserted my IMEI number in that place and could get through.

I bought 2 SGT GT-P1000's. I wrote about a debacle I had purchasing them, as both said they were from U.K.-London addresses. Anyway, because they still had some Korean apps on the official Samsung Apps software, I sent them both in from the U.S.A. to Great Britain to have them "officially" put the correct English only software on them.
Long story short, got both back. One was updatable through KIES, one wasn't. They deleted all of the official U.K. apps that were originally on there(I guess they figured since I lived in the U.S.A., I didn't need or want them.
I had asked anyone before if there was anyway to get back what was officially originally on them as I too paid about $600.00 full price. I was able to flash both over to whatever rom I wanted and back to the stock Italy Gingerbread. But, yeah, it was weird that when they did come back(it was a long drama and took over 2 months-they were lost, sent to wrong service centre, etc., etc.
The reason I wanted the original software was because it allowed me to access the free $200.00 in software like the movies, music, ebooks, games that came with the purchase after I had registered them during their promo that Samsung had. They took that all off and when I go into the websites now, it says that I am not in an authorized network area-even if I change CSC or change time zone. So, I basically had downloaded them when I first had them and wanted to re-download my free stuff. Screwed yet again!
Does that mean if I change my location to UK or Sprint US, I can actually update the TAB throught the Kies provided by the local telecom operator?
Greetings,
I've just bought a 2nd hand Galaxy Tab and I've just been trying to get it more up to date to my liking.
I already own a Galaxy S and am familiar with flashing with Odin and such, having taken it from the Branded Orange Eclair firmware to XEU JVK Gingerbread Firmware (via some other firmwares along the way).
However with the Galaxy Tab, I'm finding myself a bit lost and stuck when seeking information with this device and ROMs and so on.
When I got the Tab, it came with either JJ5 or JJ7 (I didn't note it down carefully) and it was on the CPW CSC code. I couldn't even change the CSC code with the *#272*IMEI# command, as it doesn't present me with an option to do so.
The other thing I found was that when using Vol Up + Power didn't bring up a recovery mode with menus like I was anticipating to be similar to the Galaxy S, just a bit saying it's searching for application updates.
Subsequently, I started to install Overcome's ROM and started following the instructions, flashing JMK with the safe bootloaders. That went fine, aside from the Tab then ending up in a different language which was then remedied although the app called Samsung MMMM will force close.
However, the CSC code of the device has now changed again to PHN and I seem unable to change it.
So to summarise:
1. What CSC file or what steps do I need to take to get my tab working on a stock firmware with XEU sales code?
2. What else do I need to ensure I have a proper recovery mode with all the options for factory reset etc?
My Tab is currently a GT-P1000
PDA: P1000XWJMK
PHONE: P1000XXJMF
CSC: P1000PHNJM5
Thanks in advance,
Hybridesque.
I figured it out this morning. I flashed XXJK5 and the OAXJK5 Multi CSC onto my Tab and all seems alright now. Got my recovery mode and XEU CSC on the device now. Had a little bit of a scare when I just did the CSC on it's own and it didn't like it. Flashing the XXJK5 Firmware onto it afterwards fixed that and it's all fine now.
Hi Hybridesque,
Would you care sharing with me how you did this? Where you got the firmware from? Did Kies recognise it as update-able (awful, I know, sorry...). I seem to have a Russian CSC on my Tab and would like to come home. Thanks for any guidance!
Hey everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Overcome 1.6.3
I've been having an issue with it overheating and turning itself off (nothing to do with the custom ROM, was doing it before, I was hoping the custom ROM would fix it but it didn't).
I rang Samsung about it and they told me to take it back to where I bought and get them to send it in to me.
My issue is that as soon as they see that it's running a Custom ROM they'll send it straight back to me!
Basically I'm trying to work out the Optus Factory ROM / Modem / PITT files so I can put the correct files back on using ODIN.
Does anyone have a stock Optus Galaxy Tab they can give me all the info for?
PDA: ?
PHONE: ?
CSC: ?
Model Number: ?
Firmware Version: ?
Kernal Version: ?
Build Number: ?
Thanks,
Mitchell !

Thanks, hadn't seen that.
Will move the question
the firmware my tab came with was JJ4, but when I got it back from repair it came with JMA, so it is hard to say what you should have
Thanks!
I ended up ringing one of the stores and asking them to read me out all the numbers off the Display model (figured it had never been updated).
It is as follows:
PDA: P1000XWJJ4
PHONE: P1000XXJID
CSC: P1000OPSJJ3
I was able to get the PDA + PHONE default files, but I could only get a default CSC file (SERJJ2) because no one had posted the Optus CSC file.
I'm restoring it all now, will let you know how it goes, cheers !
Hi there,
Did you get it working?
I am trying to restore my optus galaxy tab using odin as well, its a nightmare!
I also have the first two files (and not the csc file), but dont know how to do it.
I have the gt-p1000_mr.pit file loaded in odin along with the PDA and phone one (P1000XWJJ4 & P1000XXJID). I have the three boxes ticked, auto reboot, repartition, f. reset time etc. then i press start. It updates for a while then fails near the end. What am I doing wrong? Is it because i dont have the csc file or is there a certain order to do things?

Hey, yep I did end up getting it fixed !
Just at work at the moment but I'll post detailed instructions when I get home !
Awesome! This little saga is almost making me consider splashing out and going ipad, but I am being patient. I think theres a learning curve and then all will be good no? or have you got rid of yours since haha
All is good
I ended up finding teamovercome.net and installed their ROM which Im happy with so far. No optus stuff which is a plus
Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. The time zone difference thing over here is still messing with my head. Glad to hear you got it all sorted. I had a look back through all of my stuff and like an idiot I don't have anything saved any more, but oh well.
Haven't gotten rid of mine, but haven't touched it for about a month and a half, since moving over to the US, and not wanting to pay for a SIM card for it.
which version rom are using from overcome and is there any problems with using it on the optus network

Hi everyone,
This is my first time and I am wondering if someone can help. I have tried everything and nothings far.
I have SG SII few weeks ago someone mentioned that ICS was out so I googled it and followed the instructions which installed i9100xxKP8 4.0.3 version and at the first start the phone does not recognise any SIM card you put. I know I made the mistake not noted down the original firmware number etc.. But I am stuck I can't use Kies to upgrade to the proper O2 upgrade which is out.
Any help would be appreciate it before I bin this lovely phone .
Thank you

Firstly this is the wrong forum this forum is for the Samsung Galaxy S (Not SII/2).
Luckily this is not a phone specific thing all that much.
To get your stock rom go to sammobile.com. Find the firmware that best matches your situation, i.e. country and provider. There are also downloadable instructions. Another thing you could do is go to your correct forum and look for the correct firmware.
To be clear all you have to do is install the stock firmware and your phone should be recognised by Kies. If this doesn't happen then you may have to make another post in the correct thread. A fix you could try (not sure this will work on S2) is type *#262*your imei# and select the correct csc code (Changing the code will reboot your phone and perform a factory reset). Also find this on the sammobile.com website, i think letter codes or something.
