Is it possible to flash a gsm rom over the cdma version of the tab? Im not using the sprint network only the wifi. Is it possible to flash it over without bricking and breaking wifi or should i just try it?
you will brick your tab for sure , do not flash any rom is not made for you specific tab
yea i kinda figured that was the case. thanks and sorry for the noobish question
ok..so I see that there are very few options when it comes to roms on the cdma tabs. I've seen the question asked a few times on here with no real answer.
This is the one definate answer I have found:
Flashing a gsm modem on a cdma tab will brick the device. I believe the same when it comes to kernals.
So on to the question...
Can I flash the overcome rom to cdma tab? If so HOW??
That rom with the blue steel theme gives me a chubby just looking at it
No, you cannot flash a gsm rom to a cdma tab. The kernel will brick your tab (soft brick if you're lucky)

Right so heres myproblem hope someone can help,
Broke external and internal speakers on my s1 by using fm sprint app, then sent it into be repaired (local dealer not Samsung) they repaired it working fine now but since its come back , i can no longer make calls i only get 1 or 2 bars Max signal and only edge no 3g etc. So tried flashing a load of different modems in hoping would help tried from different regions no help. When i go to search for signal manually i can pick up the othr carriers in my country but it says your sim no allowed on this network but jt will not pick up my network.
Tried flashing 2.3.6 value pack csc modem rom etc that didn't help either.
Any ideas on what i can do to perhaps fix this I'm kinda stuck atm.
Country : South Africa
Network : vodacom
Thanks for any ideas guys

If it says 679 then it is likely to be exhibit varient. If it says i8150 then it is more likely galaxy w varient. Go to setting and then about phone.

rigth what worries me its the system seein that exhibit is from t mobile and t mobiles use other bands
examples
here in pr claro pr and att can switch phones without no problems but if i plug a tmobile sim card into a att or claro phones the internet got stuck at edge (problems with the bands ) the question will be will a rom from the exhibit contains things from tmobile ?
should i just flash 679 roms ?
i hate when carrier puts their own names to handsets
thanx for the reply
this is what my about phone have
model number sgh-t679
android version 2.3.6
baseband vers.
t679walg2
kernel
2.6.35.7-perf-t679walg2-cl1169838
buid
gingerbread.walg2
what ya think should i man up and flash the exhibits roms?
Make backup first if you ever decide to flash custom rom. that way you can go back where you were.
Do not flash tmobile stock or stock rooted or peach if you are worried about baseband as these will replace your current baseband with t-mobile one. So you will have to stay with cm9/10 related group of rom.
We have people from Canada flashing roms here just fine. I guess you may be the first one from pr. So decide if you want to take the risk.

It sure looks to be the same phone. Even our wiki speaks of a galaxy w.
gonna flash cm9 just to b sure thanxs
letting yall know in a couple of minutes
Dont forget the nandroid
*looks at watch
There has been a little confusion, so allow me to clear it up once again SGH-T679M is marketed in Canada as the Samsung Galaxy W 4G by Bell Mobility. With the exception of the M in it's model number, it is precisely the same as T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G and it's former Samsung Exhibit II 4G monikor. It seems apparent that your carrier is doing the same thing. In other words, you're in the proper forum as long as your About Phone says T679 - stay away from the I8150 forum if you don't want to brick your phone (Well, you can go ahead and read - just don't flash anything from there)
ok so cm9 works like a charm
wonder if the others roms will to. i like the status bar toggles
If one works chances are the rest will as well
