Hi all, I've been reading through this forum for the past week now, partially because of all the bad reviews for the Tilt, and partially because I like my devices to work better than they "should".
I've reached a problem though... During my readings, I began to get confused with why this ROM or that ROM was flashed on, and which version of WinCE was on at the time the ROM was flashed. As my brand new-still in the box Tilt (With Win6.1) will be here this Thursday, I find myself wondering "So what do I do to make my phone better?"
This is my first smart phone I've ever had, and the main reason I purchased it is so I can write while in transit to work or such, occasionally watch a movie or listen to some music, oh, and to use the internet. Unfortunately, this also means I seem to have missed the class on safely flashing ROMs, if I need to sit and write down phone information that may not be stored on the SIM, and even the most basic of all, "Do I need to do this to make it run smoothly?" I mean, most of the problems I seem to see deal with Win 5.x, or 6.0.
I reckon the best way to phrase it is, "While I would like to make it better, I want to know if (1) it's worth taking the time to do, and (2) what kind of boost are we looking at? 10%? 50? 100%?"
Any opinions, help, advice, directions or links, how-to's or whatever would greatly be appreciated.

First Trey, let me say, welcome to XDA! The biggest improvment you can do to your Tilt is going to be a ROM upgrade! The ROM is the OS of your phone and as you are getting a newer tilt you will most likely have Windows Mobile 6.1 on it but it will include a quote\unquote "custom ROM" from at&t which will be chock full of alot of at&t stuff(advertising in the way of logos and animation) that will slow your phone down, as well as a CID (security lock) to keep you for installing most of the good free apps that are available for the tilt! You will want to spend alot of time reading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835 and getting to know your device and what some of the terms used here are! I am usualy on the forum quite a bit and if you have questions feel free to PM me and ask away! The key is to read and learn, I will be happy to help if you need it!
Thanks for that! Everything makes more sense now that I've got that AT&T OS piece understood. Looks like I've got more reading to do. ^_^
I can't seem to find a good post or thread about this so I'll be the one to ask the dumbest question.
Can a GSM rom be flashed to a CDMA tab? Other than networking issue with the modem, will phone actually boot and be usable on wifi? I'm assuming it most likely will either not work at all or just FC constantly but wanted to ask first.
MODS please delete after a few answers. I don't want to waste thread space...
Anybody has flashed this before ? And i don't know can Verizon tab be able to flash rom for Sprint Tab ?
Waiting for anwser too .

One of the other members did and it worked, I am not sure what was FC'ing but he was using it that way. A word of WARNING, if you accidentally flash the modem with the GSM one, its dead forever! You cannot restore it!!
But yeah it should boot, and be able to use WiFi.

Verizon and Sprint use the same radio's so this should not be an issue
OK second question. Where on earth can I find the VZW firmware files to use with Odin or Heimdall? I flashed the Klean ROM and like it but then I realized I was having problems finding the stock pit and pda files to revert back to stock if needed!
I would love if I could use GSM ROM's. I bought a Verizon TAB (mistake now that I realized this) and just use it for WIFI only so network access is not an issue for me.
Is that file you need ?

Downloading now but I'm pretty sure thats it! You are awesome. And I'm a lazy searcher.
try this... its the vzw recovery package i use... unrar and bring it into hiemdall... try using the voodoo overclocked kernal with it... great improvements, blazing fast, and the sound is unmatched... im not sure why, and i could very well be doing it wrong... but when i flash the zImage for the kernal, i always have to flash that zImage into the recovery as well... like i said idk why but 90% of the time my flash will fail unless i do that... so if you have any problems try it... hope this helps!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TC4G5IYC
probably the same files... beat me to it haha
I'd actually really like to know this as well... I've got a VZW tab I was given from a friend who updated to a Xoom... I'm only ever gonna use it wifi, and am a bit disappointed in the lack of roms for CDMA tabs... if a GSM Rom would work, and let me use wifi, that would be great for folks like me.
How can I avoid to flash the modem with the GSM one ? I usally use heimdall-frontend.exe to flash !
I could be wrong, but if you go through frontend dont you have to manually palce the moden file into the slot for modem? couldnt you just flash everything but modem? or is it in the kernal as well??

Wow, ok... I just got the damn thing, let me, you know, learn how to code and program etc... got a while?
Yeah, I got a free tab, and I know next to nothing about it, so I'm trying to find out some information. I dunno that I would call expressing mild disappointment really classifies as "*****ing" but, hey, thanks for YOUR contribution to the thread too, guy. Super helpful. I understand the VZW tab isn't nearly as popular, and that means less people working on it, or maybe there are technical difficulties or something. I have no idea. I just know there is less information, etc. out there about it, and that's disappointing. Nowhere did I say anything like "people here suck for not supporting my device!" The ROM makers here are a talented bunch, that much is obvious... I really like what they're doing, and I'm guessing so does the OP. That's why we're asking about GSM roms... we obviously liked something someone made, and wish we could use it on our device. We're trying to find information, and you come and attack someone with the equivalent of an ER nurse getting mad at a Vet for coming in with a question about their daughter, and demanding that they help treat her themselves.
If I had ANYTHING even CLOSE to as helpful as some of the people here to contribute right now, I would... but I don't... I'm just trying to learn about this device. At my level of knowledge right now, I don't HAVE anything to give. So very sorry if that somehow offends you personally.
That was ugly!

Hmm. I wonder what my PM reply from you will have to say in it lol. Anyhow, is a soft brick inevitable? Are there options I can avoid such as obviously not flashing the modem? Or param.lfs? To prevent a soft brick. One person claims it worked on a certain ROM from them. I know I can find out the hard way myself but if I can benefit from someone else's experience I'd like to see if I can do that first.

Think about it guys you've got devs, and then you have those of us who are just using what the devs design, be it lack of knowledge or lack of effort, either way if you have a free tab, make a backup, make a couple backups, and try it, or maybe get with a dev working on your tab to add the features of the gsm tab to our vzw tab. help them test it, It makes sense that devs get pissed when someone says i got a free tab, do some research, make some effort to further the development for a device in which the devs purchase in most cases with they're own money, and if they brick it in the process they are out alot more money then you are. and the way they save them selves is by again treading on undiscovered territory. So instead of asking make some attempt. learn to use the emulator, learn your device, if you are just getting to know the device then it may not be a good idea to jump right into rooting, and flashing roms....

Good post. Hope you weren't referring to me though! Check my sig I've been around the block with Android.
Oh and I'm running Overcome ROM right now on my VZW TAB. I'll be posting a video of the steps to take to ensure this works correctly some time this weekend.
Looks like my VZW may work out afterall...

LOL You just had a *****fit with the best CDMA dev we have, nice work.
How did you do it?
Hey man, watched your video review great stuff, any update date on how you got the rom on your CDMA Tab however? I just got a Sprint Tab and would love to flash Overcome on it...thanks for any advice

hey connexion2005, any update on the video? i´ve been surfing around the forums for a couple of hours now and haven´t found any procedures on how to get overcome on the VZW tab. just wondering
I have a NEW direct from Dell, Streak 7. This is my first tablet. This item was a gift from a family member out of state so getting a return is really not an option.
I have set the tablet up with T-Mobile, and everything seemed to go ok. Got gingerbreak and rooted tab. Waiting on Dell to send me unlock code so that I can get the firmware upgraded to latest Honeycomb. However....
This tablet will have forcecloses 10% of the time, on any given program, will shut down for no reason...sometimes reboot, sometimes not. Will freeze after restart. Will freeze and only hard reset will get it back. Will shut off and not be able to turn back on unless you hard reset button and then try to turn it on right.
I have tried to research the issue, but I really can't afford to pay someone for answers. Just trying to see what the deal may be. The item was new, I had to break the seal to get it out of the box and all original items were sealed.
THanks to anyone who can help......or at least direct me on the right path to fixing it......: )
You should've rooted using the Superuser7.zip posted by TheManii
I'm sorry, in my research, I only saw the gingerbreak boasted about. Plus the issue was ongoing before I rooted the tablet
Sorry again...I am still kinda new.....thanks for the reply however
HMMM, well I would suggest you decide what version you want to run (Froyo or Honeycomb) and then I would search the forum for how to restore the 7 back to factory state. It's hard to believe you were having FCs out of the box, sounds more like you are leaving out some details, but no matter, I would suggest restoring back to stock with a clean install... believe me, there are PLENTY of threads. Might I suggest you restore back to stock Froyo, play with that a while and do lots of reading before trying to root or change ROMs. If you don't follow my suggestions you will just be back here with a device you can't use and getting flamed for getting in above your head before you were ready
I have been waiting to answer this post.....Sir or whoever you are....
I do not appreciate you assuming I was not totally honest about the situation I am in with my product. I have no reason to not give all the information so that I can have the best chance of finding a solution to my problem.
Prior to my Dell tablet I have rooted my HD2 and also my MyTouch, so I do kinda know my way around, however when the issues happened right out of the box, it was a total shock. So I figured .... I would go to my friends at XDA....However, I don't feel too good about these posts you have left....or again the assumptions you have made....

Well you don't leave me much to assume sir, anyone that has a brand new product and immediately has issues with it would logically return it immediately, BUT in my experience when someone is in your situation it means they did something to their device and can't get it back to factory conditions to be able to get warranty work done on it....
Again,
First....I am a Mam.....not a SIR. Second. It was a gift.....I have managed to get help for my issues and they have been solved.....I have no control over someone whom assumes. You know what they say about that......Good Day.
get off your high horse
Not on a high horse.....I do not have to put up with rudeness. It is uncouth and uncalled for. I have every right to defend myself. I am sorry if you don't like that.......sorry
Hello,
I know this might've been answered atleast a dozen times, but I'm seriously in a hurry and I need a reply, fast or advanced, the situation is seen from the title, however, as I will explain it here, I'd like to mention that I did search and try everything. however none have worked, and I'm seeking professional and or novice help from someone who understands technology.
I have a Galaxy tab, P1010 (wifi only), I've dug with it around, it's sort of new, still got the warranty, to the point, I think it's bricked.
It's giving me the picture of the phone being unable to connect to the PC. (Warning sign in between them, bet most of you know how it looks like eitherway).
Is this really critical, or is there a way to fix it? And I'd like to ask whether someone could help me find some stock firmware, for the EU tab?
That's pretty much all summed up, don't shoot me too hard if I posted this in the wrong forum or this is already overasked,
thanks.
This is not a problem, this screen is still a download screen. You need to restock, flashing will still work. However, this is not a forum for the P1010, it's for the P1000, you need to ask again in a P1010 forum, they should be able to help you.

Thanks for all the help, I've decided to fix it today and it worked perfect, simply putting 2.2.1 worked.
Since it's risky, I'll try upgrading to gingerbread after my girlfriend is back from a trip with it... I hope it works well and won't brick (seriously this time).
Thanks again, and bye.
hello developers. Im sorry if im posting this thread in wrong forum but i found no other better place to call for help. I own Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 SM-T595 (2018) model and i want to root this tab. Development of this model haven't started yes i guess, so i request developers to start development and guide us to root and recovery for this tab. thank you.
Regards - Dr.Anshuman
Those damn developers, sitting around with nothing to do, just waiting for requests!
This should get em going!
Agree,ive got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 SM-T590 and ive been waiting for a Recovery and a Rom,fingers crossed someones working on it.
This is bad. No one even wanna talk about SM-T595.
We are still waiting for TWRP and root guide

So why don't you do it? What kind of Dr. makes sad pouty faces because others are not lining up to do hundreds of hours of work on a mediocre tablet in exchange for absolutely nothing? Overbooked proctologist? I imagine you weren't planning to pay anyone anything to do work that you're requesting, but maybe I'm wrong about that? A ot of people will work on a given device because there's something they want out of it, or it would be especially useful, or.... someone found a vulnerability. Personal passion, wide popularity, the crowds of adoring women ... so many reasons, different for everyone working on every device.
What incentive do they have to assist you in this? Maybe it is your drive and insistence that this device open for every user to have full control of their personal information, which you display by all of the work you have done towards creating the root method here yourself? It's been a month since your post., please let me know what you have learned in your work so far

This is especially entertaining after trying to talk down to me... which wasn't very effective after repeatedly begging and pouting that no one will root a random device. to make your life easier. You don't have real books, or a memory card or hard drive to back those up, and you seem to honestly see begging random people to spend their lives doing things for you a more reasonable choice than buying one of those or a more popular tablet or any with an existing path to root. It's pathetic. I'm not even trying to insult you, it's honestly very sad. It's like pride, dignity, and shame have all vanished in favor of entitlement and expectation.

@Dr.Anshuman michael.johns03 is spot on. Your attitude is one of pure infantile and ignorant entitlement. I'm guessing you assume some people are just born with some kind of 'technical' gene? Which gives them the ability to do technical work effortlessly? And you unfortunately don't have that gene? It's just a 'snap of the fingers' for some people to do as you request?
News Flash Dr... no, you're wrong. Pull your head out of all of those vagina's, take a look around you, it's a different world than you think it is.

Man, you seriously need to see the posts again. I just posted couple of request , i did not abuse or wrong said any developer. And its was just 2-3 post in whole damn month. I dont understand what made you kids go off thread topic rather than helping and finding the way. God help you people.
Now stop here and Let me know if you find any way to root SM-595. If People are here to show attitude rather than developing , then better i should discontinue this thread.
Enough arguments.
Next time, please watch your language @Dr.Anshuman and be courteous towards other members, even if you disagree with them about something.
