[Q] Roms for SGH-I987 - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All!
I am working with a SGH-I987 (ATT) for bluetooth related application development. Unfortunately 2.2 is being a bit of a bear to deal with. I was looking on the forum and found quit a few roms are available for gsm tabs. Could someone steer me to the roms that will support the SGH-I987?
I was looking at CyanogenMod9, but am not sure if my tabs will support it.
Thanks in advance!

If this is your first rom on a tab Id suggest starting with Overcome. A full guide is available too.
Enjoy!

some rom ready?
Hello,
I want to upgrade my att tab, yo ICS or GB (actually froyo).
You know where can i get a full guide and rom?
(i have that unlocked, rooted and with the phone option)
Thanks

everything you read here will work for your tab.
P1000 is the euro generic version, yours is AT&T model that has different radio/modem hardware to suite AT&T network.
Just take note of what baseband you are on (Setting - Phone -About)
After flashing CM9 following the whole overcome restock, overcome kernel 4.0, then CWM flash etc... you then need to find the same modem (search in dev there is modem thread), unzip it and extract just the modem.bin and paste it to /radio/modem.bin
disclaimer is: of course I can't tell you if your tab can then make calls and have 3G. that might be AT&T limitation.. others may know more.

just wondering if theres any concerns with spoofing the firmware and using kies to update to this.
do i need to choose a bell csc after i flash or will i need to manualy enter apn? thanks all
im just disapointed with bell being so far behind (still 2.2!!)
I tried yesterday night with NEE code but kies didn't find any update.
I also want to know the answer of this question.

Ok so i did some screwing around with my i9000m from bell seeing as how my little boy fried my last one. Want to load gingerbread you can do it just pay attention to a lot of things. I loaded Juwe's build now here's the key I've got the xwjvb kernel running so far no issues right now the only issue that comes with this rom is the modem doesn't like our towers here in Canada go figure right! but alas you can load the KC1 modem after going through the xwjvb build aka gingerbread it works. take a look at Juwe's rom it's well worth the effort and looks great! Good Luck out there!
I'll have to try that one
if you want to use Kies you will probably have to wait a while for Bell to catch up. Bite the bullet, install Odin 1.7 and use it to install the JK bootloaders (see thread) and either the stock deodexed JVK or the Rom of your choice. Using a Rom based on CF3.1 gets you rooted and installs CWM which will allow you to do everything else later without using Odin again. See the help/install for Doc's Rom and the instructions for CF3.1 they are laid out very straight forwardly (and see the q and a sextion) .After, add the KC1 modem if necessary -- I use it and it works great and is the latest modem for BMC (Bell). The reason to load deodexed is that you can that add and change themes as you want. You do not need the Bell CSC stuff. Couple of good guides now posted: seems a little daunting at first but works fine. Read first and know there's lots of people here to help: got a lot easier once I leanrt the SGS is actually very hard to kill completely: most locks are just a soft brick!

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but.... Is there a stock 2.3 Gingerbread for US TMo Tab??

I have read and read thread after thread... after thread, and I'm confused...
Is there an actual legit Gingerbread update for the US TMo Tab that I can do through Keis or Odin, or is it an overseas version? And at that, will it pull files automatically, or do I have to DL, then install? And is that safe for the US TMo Tab?
I keep hearing about Overcome, and searched and read. Is it an actually 2.3 Gingerbread ROM, or a 2.3 theme? If it is a ROM, is it a full ROM with all working options, or more something I should wait on the official release for?
Thanks for any help, and links are appreciated.
I did searches and read a lot, but the more I read, the more unclear it became, so I thought this would clear it up for me...
There is an actual, legit Gingerbread updated that will work on a US TMobile Tab that can be installed via Odin, AND it is an overseas version (Italy release, specifically). You will have to download the files and install them. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 . Also see here for a modem switcher, as you won't be able to get 3G using the Italy build modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871021
Flashing is never completely without risk, but many people have done this successfully.
Overcome is a complete firmware replacement with many modifications. The latest release is based on 2.3, but I don't really track it, so I can't really say too much more about how well it works. See here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
(You can also get the T-Mobile stock modem from that thread without going to the trouble of using Roto's switcher.)
The Overcome Rom is a fully functional build of Android 2.3 (Alterbridge also has a 2.2.1 Rom out there)
It has only minor minor bugs at the moment (which you likely wont even notice), but for the most part is a fully working build.
If you follow the steps written up at the bottom of Alter's Gingerbread ROM, you shouldn't have any troubles.
To answer the original question, there is no official gingerbread for any US carrier's tab, and probably won't be.

[Q] SGH-T849 Latin Rom

Hi, I have to take the chance to thank all the xda developers and forum users that have helped me with the hints and tutorials. I had never have to ask because all my questions where already answered in the forum but now I have a specific case where I have a SGH-T849 Tmobil tablet and need to install the latin P1000N rom. In case anyone wonder why it is because in the country I am the voice and 3g works perfect with this rom and with the current rom the max I've got is edge + voice.
So the question is .... Can I flash the P1000N stock rom in a SHG T849? If not and some one has the info I would like to know why.
Thanks again.
I used to have tmobile tab and i flashed p1000 roms from the samfirmware without any problems.
You will have to flash tmobile radio after you are done rom flashing.
if you want to be extra careful, dont flash the bootloaders.
Still dont blame me in case you brick it.
You can't flash a "N" rom unless that's your model. They are not compatible.
You won't get 3g on a t-mobile tab unless you're on a t-mobile network (1700/2100 bands). The rom can't change that.
thanks rangercaptain..... little bit late or better said too soon I have tried, I bricked it :-( no download mode no boot only lights the buttons...

[stock rom][2.3.6] P1000BUJQ3_P1000BUJQ1_P1000TCLJQ1

Hi xda-developers,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab (P1000) (hw ver. rev1.2), provided by Vodafone Portugal, and I want exploit the device by installing custom ROMs.
But as you can imagine, I want to be sure that I can revert the device to this state whenever I want. And this is my problem....
I've been searched for tutorials how to do this, but i could not find this specific ROM.
Info after pressing *#1234# :
Firmware Version:
PDA - P1000BUJQ3
PHONE - P1000BUJQ1
CSC - P1000TCLJQ1
Android version is 2.3.6 and carrier is Vodafone Portugal
I also went to a Vodafone forum, and they suggested an alternative by asking a previous version ROM to Samsung (unlikelly): Android 2.2, P1000BUJI4+P1000TCLJI1
I also can't get this one.
Questions:
Do you have any sugesttions where can I get this stock ROM (preference 2.3.6)?
What does people like me normally do in this sittuations on their devices?
Is there any Stock Rom without carrier (directly from Samsung)? Can I install another P1000 stock rom from another carrier (I don't like this sollution) ?
Let me just say this.
You P1000 is no different than all the P1000 talked about here.
Just read all some if the threads here and you know what to do.

Thanks priyana, but I want to preserve the original ROM for a eventual revert, and that's what I can't find in any P1000 thread.

Thanks nurusz, but I don't want how to flash the P1000;
What I want is the stock ROM for P1000, carrier Vodafone Portugal (TCL), no matter what version (2.2 or 2.3) and not-rooted
I have 2.3 now in my P1000 (that was never flashed before (only updated via Kies)).
Does anyone provide me any reliable solution to this?
Thank you!

[Q] S I9000 to S I9000M

I would like to convert my Galaxy S I9000 to a Galaxy S I9000M (Vibrant) Canadian.
I would appreciate it if someone could help with the rooting and tell me the name of the firmwares I need to use such as the
Kernal, Rom, etc.
Thank You.
So just to clarify (because I'm a bit confused) you want to convert one device to another? The only safest thing you can do is change build.prop, and that's only going to change how the device displays. If you want to flash a Vibrant rom onto the I9000, that's a no go because that can screw up the device.

Any reasoin why you want to make the change
Hi,
My phone used to be a i9000m.
In order to use all the custom roms, I had to convert it to a i9000.
The only thing that carries over every time I flash a new rom is the modem.
You need to use the "KG3" because I think it has something to do with the frequencies that are used by the i9000m.
So, maybe your i9000 modem may not use the same frequencies? I'm guessing, not knowing.
i9000 was wonderful, why change?

Thank You for your replies.
I am trying to learn about the Android system.
I would like to convert my Galaxy S I9000 to run on the Bell System in Canada
and I figured I need to convert to something like the Galaxy S I9000M (Vibrant) Canadian firmware.
I would like to have an i9000 working with (Bell) Canadian firmware.
I would like to wipe/re-program the phone to a factory firmware and install a firmware that will work in Canada.
The same process you do when you format your PC's harddrive.
I would like to root/clean my i9000 and re-program it with updated firmwares, giving me an i9000 Canadian Phone .
If this is possible, I need to know the names of the Rom, kernel, etc. for Canada, I could use to do this.
Thank You.
Factory Firmware you can get from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
I have the GT-I9000M_I9000UGKC1_BMCKC1.zip from sammobile
Thank You
nyloncrack
Since you have your phone working in Canada would you be so kind and share with me,
the firmware you installed to do this and
how You installed it.
Also do you have a link for this "KG3" rom/kernal file?
Thank You.
