Ok so I have spent my time in the epic4g portion of the forum and now have a tab I want to get customized. This is a question so let me get on to it. In the epic forum it seemed like things were more cut and dry than how things are for the tab: odin, cwm(your choice rfs or ext4), then flash your heart out. Things don't seem that easy here. Am I wrong? I sure hope so.been blessed by team viper and hope to either port over their rom (with permission of course) or get to know how this all works in the tab world and help out. I'm on sprint and it seems thats important to mention over here.
So, help me get root and point me to a rom for my version if you please. I just haven't found any sure fire answers to root. Z4root might be the most solid solution? And does cwm3 work the same here as on galaxy s?
Thanks for being helpful and patient

what tab do you have? gsm, cdma or Wi-Fi?.. Oh sorry.. I see that you are on Sprint.. Just go to the dev forums.. Follow the Noob instructions and when you are ready look for a CDMA/sprint ROM..
Here is a link to the noob area.. READ EVERYTHING FIRST, Take your time.

So king, are you rooted and on a custom rom on your phone too? Is it the same process/tools?
Thanks for the link btw!

but can't find an answer.... is it doable? Also, what other mods can I do to it? I wish XDA had a section for each version of the tab, I have a huge headache from trying to find my answer.... thanks guys
bump..... Please guys, help me out. I tried rooting last night but failed, guess I tried the root from a different tab... so please help me out... I'm getting ready to smash this thing
Really, no one can help me out? ... maybe another forum has more courteous members.

Do you think that bumping your post two hours after posting it is courteous?
I just got a Galaxy Tab WiFi myself, but I did my research *before* I bought it. No Gingerbread is available, that I know of. There are not many alternative ROMs for the WiFi only model.
What did you use in your rooting attempt? The only two ways I know are with a Windows app or with z4root, an Android app. I haven't tried either one, here is a link to z4root on this forum.

SuperOneClick should be able to help you root your Tab.
Here's the Noob Rooting Guide with links and downloads.
Always do your research. The Development forums will be one of your best resources for your Tab.

No offense but if you're going to criticize you might as well not even comment to avoid any frustrations or arguments as a result. Thank you for the link, I was able to find z4 and lag fix yesterday.... applied both but i might roll back on the lag fix since I have no haptic feedback now unless anyone knows of a fix? I wasn't able to find anything on Google... wifi only tab and p1010 aren't too popular searches.

*sigh* waiting for this too..
****ty Samsung , is it so hard to just make an official Gb for this little tab considering the workforce they have at their disposal.
At one point I had heard that the Sprint stock GB (2.3.4) update worked on the Wifi only tabs, but I don't have a wifi only to test with.
I haven't heard of any alternative roms for the wifi only version.

Check with Kies, see if you have a firmware update. I only have a P1000, but maybe it's similar.
oh yeah, give time for people to reply your thread. Don't be a spoiled kid.

EDIT: from other answers here the Sprint GB 2.3.4 ROM stock or rooted sounds the way to go, so it looks like this should work for you as it did for me on my Verizon CDMA tab.
It's hard to say for sure, experimentation is part of the fun, but killing the tab isn't. I didn't find any definitive answers on flashing a Sprint CDMA ROM on to a Verizon CDMA Galaxy Tab (for example), so I decided to try for myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255339
I suspect doing a FULL ROM flash would be a *very* bad idea (it seems doing that with a GSM ROM on other (non-GSM) tabs KILLS it). However, the technique I used was only to apply the kernel and filesystems, so I would *think* if you had a backup from before (always best to have a backup anyway, right?) you could always revert. You may want to look around and check to see if stock WIFI images are out there (I don't know for sure) but the Voodoo or CwM (ClockworkMod) recovery backups should be fine either way.
Then if you apply the filesystem and kernel files from 2.3.4 and they don't work you should be able to revert (I would assume, I can certainly flash back and forth on mine). I would *think* the kernel supports vanilla hardware + CDMA additionally (i.e. you don't need it, but it doesn't hurt), but may be fine.
But again, unless you're prepared to take the risk, I cannot say for sure, you can wait and see if anyone else chimes in, but that's my take.

Lol thanks... I guess if someone has the time and patience to try it and it works then please let the rest of us p1010 owners know
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I have the P1010 also and from what I've heard, the two models (P1010 and P1000) have different hardware which makes the latter model possible for the ginger update while ours likely will never get it.
Enjoy it for what it is. That's all I can say.

No offence but you are the one who was rude by bumping your topic after 2 hours and also accusing people who didnt answer as not courteous, so obviously you are going to get criticism.
Your problem is that you cant be bothered to go read or search and expect people to jump on your topic and bring all the info to you. This is XDA-developers, not tech support, try and at least help yourself first before demanding answers.
If anyone tests the spring gingerbread method and it works, please say so. xD Im too much of a coward to risk my tab.

You can save a flashable ROM in the sdcard. Then if the tab got bricked, you can insert the sdcard in and reflash again. But i don't recommend doing this because me myself never flashed my tab, only my nexus one.
Hello Guys,
starting with a ton of thanks to all of you, that let this place be the wonderful place it is for people looking for some news and advices etc. etc. etc.
and absolutly sorry in advance if i havent find what i'm looking for, boring people with the noob thread,but that's it, i've a couple of questions.
i finally got my LG Thrill 4G and i live in Italy and quite everything is working fine with the stock rom, but i've yet customized my old (bad) Motorola Backflip with a GB Rom,and i would like to test some customized Rom,but for example is hard to find the Rom, cause dead links, and i have a couple of questions:
1-i've rooted the phone and installed the CWM (and it works, cause i accidentally delete some system file and done a restore with a saved backup through the recovery) i've also downloaded from market the Rom manager ,but doesn't recognized my recovery and ask me again to flash the cwm, but it shows just the Optimus v and the Optimus 2x options not the thrill or the O3D. so the question is, how is it possible that it doesn't recognize it? is a problem between the download from the market,i'm pretty sure to have followed instructions in the right way, cause it works. why there isn't the right choiche for the thrill?some suggestions? Thanks in Advance
2-i'm in Italy so i can't use a lot of bloat like every kind of at&t stuff and i was wondering if ,like for the Rom customized,there is a way just to trash all of this things i never use,cause sometimes i received message you cant trash it.
there is a particolar procedur to follow to don't lose some system file uninstalling them?
and finally the third
i've seen that some of the Rom of the O3D i can use on the thrill,there some problems with the radio,or some advice in using an "european" Rom in an usa phone?
thanks to all
Return it as quick as you can..i'm serious

It's a fantastic phone as far as hardware. The majority of us are a bit bitter over the lack of software support from manufacturer/carrier in the US. If you have the 30 day return policy, I'd give the phone a chance.
I really like mine. Stick with the stock ROM, just remove all of the bloat ware. Other ROMS aren't ready yet. Maybe they never will be, but at least stock works.
I used the Galaxy One-Click Root program and(yes it worked) then removed all of the garbage AT&T junked it up with. Runs great other than the camera acting wonky every now and again. I agree about staying with official build rom. As bad as I want Gingerbread, I'm not wanting the headache of what works, and what doesn't work.

i think it too , and here in italy we dont' have a policy like this, here the O3D costs about 600 euros, and is really not affordable.
but in any case i've got mine and i'm really happy with it.
just the battery is a bit sad,but nothing major looking at galaxy s2 or other smartphone.
i'm very glad about it.

What i was trying to say is that i would like to restore a backup
Made on stock rom in a customized rom,is possible?
i've solved the md5 mismatch thanks to the procedure.
But now i have again my stock rom,with battery sucking a lot
And bloatware,some suggestions?

extended battery (haven't tried it, though)
Another silly question:
I've tested a couple of roms and i'm trying using a O3D,but i've read that GB Roms have 3d issues.
Wich is one Froyo based Rom that goes fast and stable,without battery draining and can still use 3d and hdmi?
If i update the baseband to GB,i can restore or install Froyo Roms,without change it?
Many thanks to all.
P.s.
Just to let you know, in Italy,on my thrill,
Thriller,and Thrill_seeker are good,but also the doomed Froyo.
The stock Rom of O3D is good too,but still drain batt.
Thanks to all.
Stavo pensando se c'e' bisogno di qualche traduzione in italiano per i miei compaesani,che come me hanno acquistato un bel Thrill.
Saluti.

Hi Guys, I just wanna know that is it possible for me just to download a Rom from HTC Sence 3.5 and just flash it to my Samsung Galaxy Note, Have anyone tried that or will that work out something or will it brick the phone... Just wanna know... sorry if its sound stupid for guys who is well expirienced since i'm a newbie here... Thanks
defntly not.. everything is completely diff..kernel,ROM,etc,etc..
Try if you don't have a paper weight in your house..
Well if you have nothing better to do you could just try and post ur results you know

Would you take a bios from a PC and flash that into a MAC and then expect OSX to work correctly?
No, of course not, because they are two different hardware platforms..just like each and every android phone is a completely different platform.
Look at all the hardware dependent items in this architecture....
My strong suggestion is to research, learn and understand about what you are doing before you actually do it..or you will be yet one more user with a low post count starting a thread entitled "Did i brick my phone..."

Dont give this kind of advice even as a joke. These are expensive "toys" and to assist someone in bricking a $600 - $700 piece of hardware is NOT very nice.
OP... As others have mentioned... There are MAJOR differences between Touchwiz and Sense, Samsung and HTC so no... DO NOT try this or you will brick your device.
Thank You very much guys for your guidance here..
Simplifying the question
ok i understand that HTC and Samsung are two different devices.
I have used samsung galaxy gio with ease and liked that very much.
1 ------- Currently i have htc please tell me can i put Samsung Galaxy gio ics 4 rom in htc explorer.
answer if no -- then can i at least use samsung keyboard some how on HTC explorer . i have its apk but it does not get installed.
2-------- Can i use HTC ICS 4 official rom to flash on HTC explorer ( with my little knowdge i assume platform is same ) will it work
and if i try and it dont work i can go back to restore original setting ( will it harm or damage device )
Please tell me.
Note that i have replace my Samsung gio with HTC explorer ( only beacuse of short Ram )

Seriously, Massive noob to this, only owned this phone for a week and only had blackberries before, Currently only know how to ROOT, install roms and kernels...
Thank you, Jamie
