Hello All,
I've long been a lurker but I decided to join today for some help. I've also decided I'd like to root my Tab.
One of the things I want to root it for is the Wireless Tether app. I just wanted to ask anyone that uses it to verify it works and if there are any special steps to make it work. I intend to use Z4Root then get Wireless Tether from Market.
I'm also considering overclocking, any App suggestions for that? I'd also like to know if anyone has any custom ROM suggestions.
Thanks for tolerating my newbishness and for the replies.

It would help to know what tab ur using considering there are like 5 different types.

That's true. Sprint CDMA Samsung Galaxy Tab, SPH-P100. Not too sure what other information would behelpful.

I haven't used tethering, but am pretty n00b to Tab root. I rooted my Sprint SGT using oneclickroot, and it worked great, but haven't done much else. I plan on setting up CWM, and flashing my first Rom today, to prep for the HC port. Since I was planning on it anyways, I can let you know what I do, and what the outcome is... there are plenty of existing threads for that though... I'll test wireless tethering, and let you know!

Thanks Phil, I'd appreciate you testing Wireless Tether on there before flashing it if you're willing to. I don't really have plans to run a Custom ROM at the moment (except maybe the HC port when spacemoose finishes it), but I do want to know if WT will work.
Z4Root no longer works for the sprint tab. You will need to use superoneclick to root. To overclock you can get SGS Kernel Flasher from the market. I am using Bauxite's kernel and love it.
I just got a tab today (t-mobile version). I already own a vibrant (running bionix). Which ROM is the best for the tab....especially to speed it up?
You can only temp root (and permanent root) your device using Visionary application. I've tested it and working as expected.
Why would you want to root the device is it to just put a better rom on it? I assuem you could also put the Honeycomb rom on it as well right?
Maybe use another flasher instead of SGS?
It might be just my case, but all the times I used SGS it has borked my Verizon Tab. Not sure if Sprint is the same way. I was able to recover to a default state by using the Verizon orginal restore files and Odin.

If it bricked your tab were you able to send it back to Verizon and get it fixed? How does that work? If you can't tell I am new here trying to figure out which tablet to get and how to fix it when things WILL go wrong on my first root.

Sorry wrong choice of words, I meant to put borked. Bricked means not being able to bring it back. In my cases I was able to bring it back to default by the Yellow screen download mode. I will correct my post.

Which kernel flasher did you ultimately find that worked with your Verizon Tab?
Can some one please provide instructions how to update PRL by QPST.
Or provide a website with easy to follow guide.
Thank You

Thank you bro, I appreciate your prompt reply and help.
By the way before posting here I had gone into my original 2.1 hero back up
which was damn slow/laggy but the ##775# code did not work nor did the manual update
function. That's why I asked here for another way of updating my PRL.
Now reading the wealth of information in the link from your sig!!!
Will keep you posted.
God bless
You can also try some of the custom prls that oostah posted some of them work and some dont its just trial and error.

Try using the rom fresh 2.4. It still has the use of dialer codes. I have changed my prl multiple times using this rom. I like playing around with different combinations thanks to bierce bringing so many prl's to my attention.

Thanks A lot!!!
Can you please give me a link for the one you used, Also some people mentioned
if you flash older rom, update your PRL and restore your back up the PRL goes
back to what you had on your back up is that true?
No prl sticks while flashing or restoring roms it is below the data level that is erased. Here is the link http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-hero-240/
Download from the mirror link on that page the link above it doesn't work anymore.

I will try that bro, Thank You.
I wanted to ask you that I see your sig says aospcmod 2.3.4
I was meaning to try it, I am very happy with CM7.03 no reboots ever and
also everything works fine so far. How does AOSPCmod compares to CM7?
Pros & cons.
From your post I updated my latest Sprint radio to Verizon Desire radio.
So far things look good but its too soon to give a verdict on that.
I am going to try and update my PRL tomorrow.
Update on my progress!!!
First of all I would like to thank Bierce22 & rb3 again for their help.
I installed Fresh and updated my PRL to 01115 painlessly.
I have not noticed any different in the signal strength yet but
its too soon to say something for sure since its only been a day.
I rooted my phone and i installed cyanogen mod. After hitting backup current rom, my phone rebotted and it now has a black screen with white, small letters that say "fastoboot." I'm new to this and do not know what to do!
If you installed CM7 on it there is your problem. Quit pushing buttons you don't know about. What phones CM7 did you put on your phone? Because there is no CM for the Zio. You need to do a lot of learning before you just do stuff bro. Go to the development section for the Zio and start reading.
Hope you have a computer to use.
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this
Yea, i clicked on the first option. I don't even remember what it said, but thanks for giving me that tip. And yea that's how i found about the rooting.
I would recommend starting in the Easy Clockwork Mod Recovery thread as that is required stuff for running a rooted Zio. You have to know or learn how to use Adb/Fastboot from your computer. Im assuming you were trying to install/backup the rom on Rom Manager. Thats a nono on Zio.

You are very vague in your entire description of what you did and what is happening now. If you have CM running on your phone I would sure like to know how, and what phone it was built for, because I am certain no one has ported CM to the Zio. You said you installed it and now it's working, this should be impossible. Are you sure you installed CyanogenMod? And if you did where did you get it from? And where does it say Digital Roaming?
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this
First I downloaded z4 root on my phone. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup from the market. After all this was downloaded the phone was rooted and i was able to delete preloaded apps such as sprint tutorials and other stuff i didn't want. Then I downloaded ROM manager which is where I downloaded CyanogenMod and chose 7.1. I chose the first option on the list since i didn't see the sanyo zio and it worked. The last thing i did was attempt to backup the current ROM and that's where it took me to the black screen where it said fastboot. Idk what i did, but when i tried turning it on for the last time, my phone was back to normal. Usually the connection status says 3G, but now it says that i am roaming.
Does that help?
Yes. First off there is virtually no support for Sprint Zios. Second off I would try to get in to your roaming settings and turn it to home only. Thirdly I would try to find out what phones ROM you have on your Zio(what phone the CM ROM was built for). Fourth and finally I'd say you are about a step or two away from bricking your phone out completely.
If you have insurance on it I would (lose it) and get a new one thru insurance. If not I would be very careful about what you do or try from here on out. I will check and see if the recovery for the Cricket Zio also works on Sprint, if it does I believe there is a Stock Rom from Sprint for the Zio here somewhere and that may just save you. May.

Im thinking he didn't flash anything and is somehow back on original set up. He's not said it was running CM7. Just that its running. With a model id of Zio its super unlikely he successfully flashed anything. Kernel id and mod version will tell. But anything is possible.

Thats your stock Sprint ROM. Stay on it. Dont flash anything else as your phone has no ROMs or recovery. Just leave it alone.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Well one last thing im concerned about is it is still saying "Digital roaming"
I would try reprogramming it. Update Radio and Prl. On Cricket we had a number to dial. Like #blah blah#. Find out if Sprint has a number like that.

Have you tried flashing thrill seeker 3.12. I think it will work with your baseband. You may need to flash a v21e kernel but the rom has the proper flex settings for H+
Or you can install v20p kdz that is official AT&T
Also: You can edit flex in your current rom but you will lose contacts app due to it being tied to att address book somehow when you edit flex.xml..
Let me know if you try my thrill seeker 3.12 I'm curious if the h+ works outside US. You can pm me with any questions
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
I've flashed back and forth so, yeah, all you have to do is follow the KDZ tutorial to flash V20p again, what everyone else says is correct though, you already are getting "4G" on V21e, the icon simply calls it by it's real name "H+" the only thing you'll get by going back is the "AT&T" splashscreen and the ability to connect to AT&T hotspots.

yes guys...... well... thinking bout that i'll maybe better maitain v21e for now.... but the companies r changing the signal for real 4G (not the "4G" from HSPA+)... here the signal may be between 2.5 and 2.95 GHz and soon will have 700mhz as international signal too... so, in this case, should i be back to v20p? or v21e can handle this?

Actually you will only get "h" with any 920 roms.. The flex.xml settings are different and you will get the "h+" icon with v20p roms. I don't see any difference in speed unless it's the middle of the night. But some have claimed increases. Probably depends on service area. I do however see changes in signel strength between the two so it is doing something... Lol

You may not have to flash V20p first... Check your phone settings to see if kernel has a + at the end of it... If it does u may get signal without a different kernel. If no signel then flash prometheus 1.5 kernel no + version should fix.
Just do data wipe then flash rom and see if it gets signal and wifi.. U can always flash v20p later if u have to.

Guys i am from Brazil and i have a Thrill, i flashed V20p but with this i can't have portuguese-br as language and i have no settings for APN. The APNs i found a way to set for TIM - Brazil, but i found no way to have portuguese as language (is there a way?). If there is a way to have portuguese - BR as language so i'll back to V20p...as now i reflashed v21e that is multilanguage, but has no H+ (is it right or am i wrong and v21e has H+ ??? ) , i am unsecure about change flex.xml in v21e, i don't know if it already has H+ or not... can you give a clue?

So..... i tried v20p to see what would happen.... here is the result:
- No internet signal APN unconfigured... so i found TIM-Brazil APN config, and H+ working fine
- no multilanguage, so no way to have portuguese-br as language to use some default language softwares with voice
- calling signal ok, could call to any phone number
- SIM card recognized as TIM
the rest was working as always, all ok
Now, i had to be back to v21e, so i'd like to edit flex.xml, but i saw they r info from ATT, do u think it will work here for TIM-Brazil?
i have 2.6.35.7+ kernel so i'll install Seeker 3.12 as u tol me, thank u since nw
I will see if I can add it to thrill seeker.. Not sure how exactly but I'm pretty sure it lies in systemUI and/or framework-res
For now language will be same as stk v20p.

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S GT-i9000 on Orange, UK. I've only had it a week because I bought it off my brother. I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and although it seems fine, there is no signal at all, EVER. Although it get's wireless Internet! And the SIM isn't damaged in any way, so it is definitely a software issue. The Internet is a bit strange, because it is coming from my network, not Wi-Fi (it's off, as is bluetooth).
I'm liking ICS, but obviously I need a signal. It was easy to upgrade, I just booted from the zip I placed in the bootloader. But I can't downgrade the same way. I've tried looking for old Gingerbread files, but can't find any! All the Depositfiles.com links are dead. So, ideally I would like to stick to ICS and find a signal fix, failing that I guess it's a downgrade that I need?
Or should I upgrade to Jellybean?
I couldn't find anything on people having similar problems with network loss, but I'm 99.99% certain it is the software causing the issue.
Thanks for reading.

I'm downloading DarkyROM now, but it's going to take 2 hours! Is this the right way to flash a modem? I've not done it before.
Hi
I had a similar problem on my old SGSI. I flashed an ics rom (don't remeber the name) and everything worked apart from the network so no phone calls and no internet apart from with Wifi. Anyway i googled the problem and tried loads of different solutions. After flashing more roms i ended up with the DarkyROM_v11.0_black_edition with the 3.0.17-semaphore_ics_1.2.5s kernel.
This didn't help either. In a last minute test at the end of what felt like the longest day in my life i checked to find that i had damaged one of the contact pins that read the sim card. I bent it back and everything has worked since then. And it's worked well!
Thanks, it was the modem needed flashing! Very simple too I also downgraded to Gingerbread which is faster.
Thanks everyone :cyclops:
