[Q] what's last firmware?

Hello, I'm kinda new to the Galaxy Tab. Just a quick question: what's last firmware release for the Tab? I've actually installed JM6 from samfirmware.
Tux in advance for your answers.

There are lots of firmware ROMs on this site.
I am currently using the Overcome kernel and v1.4.0 ROM which was only released in the last couple of days. You can check itout here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
All the best.

for official firmware http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm have a look, but carefully because has a protected bootloader !

Thank you to both of you for the tips.
I've been thinking about giving Overcome a try, perhaps the time has come.
Cheers,
William

Sorry, but I can hardly get what you mean. There is a good howto about installing Overcome linked in the 1st post of the thread. I just used that one and everything worked as a charm.

Flashing to an unoffical firmware from an official one will wipe ALL your data. Back up what you need. You're not losing anything useful.
As suggested by maddler, read the HOWTO that is linked from in the 1st post of the Overcome thread and it'll tell you what you need. It helps to read the instructions rather than just looking for download links.

[Q] Need to update ROM from Froyo 2.2 to 2.3

you can try this stock pre-rooted ROM 2.3.4 Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033
follow the instruction carefully, nobody is responsible but yourself if anything happen to your G-Tab while flashing a new rom.
Once you have stock pre-rooted ROM 2.3.4, you can shop around for other ROMs at the Development forum.

You can actually just go the android development. The overcome rom is quite easy to use. All the guide are there for u. Try it out.

As long as you are being careful about it. As far as I remeber Sprint G-Tab is CDMA, therefore you should check if overcome has CDMA kernel or not.
Again be very careful chosing a ROM and Kernel for your tab. Ultimately you are responsible if you brick your device.
EDIT: After looking at the overcome posts again, it looks like overcome ROM and Kernel is for GSM ONLY. DO NOT flash your SPRINT G-tab with it. You will brick your device.

My tab s already rooted..no custom ROM..I have v2.2, build:2.6.32.9, base and:EA24....I keep getting the msg to update...after reading this, will Overcome update me to Gingerbread?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

DON'T use Overcome for Sprint tab.
It is not meant for it.

I know if you get rod of root then upgrade to gb via kies its the easiest.. . as long as your carrier allowed it. if its the 1010 then you should be fine.. .
but there is few thread s there that will help will post link when get to PC

Going frm FROYO to GINGERBREAD sometimes problematics. That is why I recommended you to get a rooted stock 2.3.4. Updating from a stock Gingerbread to a custom ROM Gingerbread would be much simpler process than going fromFROYO to custom Gingerbread. I see so many people stuck on samsung screen trying to upgrade from FROYO to GINGERBREAD.

Noob help please - danger of installing custom rom?

Hi All,
I'd like some advice please.
I recently got a Note (n7000) and i'm looking to put a custom rom on it. I have installed custom Roms before on a S2 but I have seen a couple of threads that make it sound a bit more complicated on the Note.
I'm wondering if it there is high chance of bricking my phone if did do something wrong?
I have the following version:
GT-n7000
Android 4.0.3
Baseband n7000XXLPT
Kernal XXLPY
is there anything about the above that I should be wary of?
I been looking at Paranoid Android but from I have read i think need to install a Ginger Bread Rom first? is there anything from the above that should be wary of when doing this?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your rom must be gingerbread before installing paranoid rom or it will hardbrick your phone.

"latter"

From my experience, from the days of my SGS right up till the GNote and SIII.....read and reread the instructions on flashing ROMs. Understand it fully before even trying to attempt any flashing of ROM/kernels/updates.
Hope that helps......
P.S. The learning curve can be very steep,,,,,and confusing to a newbie

And the other things.....the Galaxy phones are very hardy. Unless you really didn't follow the prescribed instructions on the specific ROMs.......normally it can be resurrected by the Odin or a Nandroid restore.

First of all, check if you have got the EMMC bug.
If you do, then, never ever (try to avoid) do Data Wipe/Factory Restore in the CWM mode.

Thanks for the replies.
I ran the brickbug app and it definitely seems I have the bug
Is it therefore recommended that I flash a "safe" rom asap?
Would it be ok to just carry on using the phone as is until Samsung release a updated rom?
Thanks

Other than GB roms, there are no safe roms.
As long as you dont do a factory reset/wipe, ICS roms are quite ok too. A factory reset/wipe on any ICS, all stock and many customs, can trigger the eMMC brick bug. There are some custom kernels that have a work around which are relatively safe. They do not claim to be 100% safe though. Read around.

I already tried some of this roms but the problem is the SMS capability, the network signal will be disconnected after you press the send SMS.
This rom will enable your tab to 10 point capacitive touch screen.
This is ICS AOPK 4.0.4
http://main.develoid.com:81/samsung...ich ROM/IceCreamSandwich_M180S_Stable_2.0.tar
And this is JellyBean 4.1.2
http://main.develoid.com:81/samsung/Galaxy/Galaxy Tab/SHW-M180S/새 폴더/Jiwon ROM 2.0S Full.tar
So I decide to flash back to Gingerbread co'z I need the SMS capability.

Oh, realy apreciate your links here. I have to decide wich one to flash. As I don't use any SIM card ont the TAB I don't need the SMS capability, so for me it's ok.
Can you recomend me wich one to flash?
Thanks a lot bro!:good:

You need to flash 4.0.4 first so that you can start all wipe in recovery mode, after you wipe, let the tab finish the setup for ics, after you can check the ics, then you can proceed flashing the Jellybean firmware.

So, correct me if I'm wrong:
- First flash 4.0.4
- When flashing finish, go in to recovery and wipe data/cache
- Then, start normaly and let it setup ICS
- And if evrything goes well, now I can flash JB
Is that correct? Any extra apreciation?
Thanks

Helo hello,
Well, finaly I did the flash uprade to ICS AOPK 4.0.4. And, as luther777 mentioned, it get stuk for hours in the AOKP logo.
I started to panic but with a spark of faith in that it will work fine. So after 4 hours waiting and trying to enter the recovery mode, finaly I managed to open the CWM recovery menu. Did a wipe cache/data two or three times and also formated every thing. And after that, rebooted and leave it all night booting.
The next morning the TAB was asking for the initial setup!! Finaly!!!
So now I'm very happy and looking forward to upgrade it this week to JellyBean 4.1.2.
Thanks every body for helping me and others on the uprade of this Korean TAB version.

Ok, JellyBean 4.1.2. up and running.
For the moment it works great. I'm very happy with it.

Finally!
Thanks everyone here for the advice! I've got JB running, finally! Looking forward to flash with 4.2 soon ^.*

[Q] Advice to unlock/Root GT-i9000 please

Hi all I've not done this before but not noob to the unlocking scene just first time for Android.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000

What I'm looking to do is unlock it to allow me to use any network (currently orange).
after that I would then like to look at changing the rom or upgrading to the latest Rom's where able for SIII & S4. :victory:
I've spend a while reading other post so clearer than others but none that can help me as I'm having trouble finding the correct Kernel.
Please any and all help would be most appreciated.:cyclops:

Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:

Thanks.

updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate
