[Q] New Tablet Help

Hey guys..
I have been using Xperia x10 from some time... sold it yesterday and baught this tab...
So, Now i have seen every where on these forums dnt have the clearity how to make things work..
So far i have rooted my device..
Now, i was looking for a new theme for my stock rom
BB P1000DDJJ1
Build no.
FROYO.DDJK3
Kernel ver. is 2.6.32.9..
Now can anyone please tell me how to get started to install the themes , custom recovery ( if requied to do so), boot animations and framework-res.apk (must neded).. please i have looked all over but dont knw how to get started..
( i m new new to all these .. have everything modified on my Xperia X10)

First of all: Welcome to the world of tabs.
So where to start?
Custom recovery: ClockWorkMod (CWM is the one you probably mean and want). While not mandatore, it will make your flashing-life easier. It can be most easily obtained by flashing an appropriate kernel, such as the Overcome Kernel.
As for the rest: The Overcome installation guide, found as an attachment to the first post in the thread linked above, explains everything very well and it is also applicable for other ROMs than the Overcome one.
As far as themes are concerned, they are usually installed by putting the relevant ZIP on your internal SD-card and then installing the ZIP through CWM.
I'm not really sure what else you want to do with your tab exactly so just keep asking for the missing pieces.

first of all "thanks for the reply bro"..
I hav looked upon the link... its a a custom rom... but i am not able to see its requirements like required BB or Build number... so is it compatable for my version?
secondly ..
whats the procedure to backup my current ROM ( factory rom) coz if something goes wrong or if i need to flash back ...
3rldy full wipe is compulsary?? and
lastly it says " NO Modem Included" whats modem and from where will i get my modem..?

Baseband (BB):
I assume your Tab is a GSM-variant? It should be according to the baseband. Then you can go ahead.
Now what does the BB-code mean?
BB = Baseband
P1000 = Your phone's model number
DD = Country Sales Code (CSC) for India
JJ1 = Now I'm stuck. *blushes* I guess your modem.
You will find additional usefull information in the Galaxy Tab Bible
Build:
This is "just" your firmware. Once you flash it, it's gone.
FROYO = Self expplantory
DD = India, once again.
JK3 = Your firmware version. If you are looking for a kernel, make sure it is compatible.
Which once again makes me blush since I have not made sure that the Overcome kernel is compatible. Another great kernel would be Chainfire's CF-Root. However it's not listed as JK3-compatible.
So I guess you will need to take the long way for your first flash and use Odin to flash a newer ROM as well as an appropriate kernel for future explorations.
Since the first official Gingerbread ROM has just been released by Samsung, your timing regarding first flashing experiments is impeccable.
Backup:
People around here seem to love Rotohammer's backup method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850359
So who am I to argue? My original firmware is lost for all eternity and I don't miss it
Full Wipe:
Sometimes it is recommended, sometimes not. From my own experience it is best to do a wipe if the ROM's author tells you so or if you install a new ROM from a different author.
Titanium Backup (there might be others) is your friend here: it backup s all your apps and data and restores them after a wipe. It does require root, though. However your tab is already rooted so you're good to go.
Just one caveat: In my experience restoring system data might sometimes lead to problems. If in doubt, wipe again and restore the user apps+data only.
No modem:
For Overcome this just means that it will keep your existing modem file. Though you might replace it with one that suits you.

I assume that JK3 symbolises my modem ( not sure ) as on rom page it says : JK3 modem "... and in your opinion what shud i do.. please help .. dnt want myself in any trouble ... lol
and is samsungs 2.3 official out? and shud i flash that? .. badly confused..!

Then JK3 is the version of your ROM and the version of your modem. So the easiest way to determine what JJ1 is (any more experienced user would probably know ... ah well ...) is to plug it to your computer and see what Kies spits out.
Regarding what to do next:
You could search for a kernel with JK3-support to flash any ROM of your choice more easily and with less risks involved (since your phone does everything itself, so you remove the risks of accidental unplugging or your computer/Odin acting up at an inopportune moment).
Or you could go ahead and directly flash a custom ROM with a new kernel through Odin.
The two things you will need to consider however are
1. locales: does the ROM support the language(s) you need?
2. APNs: Do you know the settings of your APNs? If neither you nor the ROM do, you might be without any data connection until you enter the APNs (which you should be able to find through Google or by asking your Operator; they are not secret).
The current JQ1 might not meet you requirements since it was released for Italy.
Edit: I forgot to mention in regard to you saying you don't want to get yourself into trouble: read the instructions and the relevant guides (Chainfire's instruction for installing his kernel and the Overcome installation guide are thorough and widely applicable) then you should not be getting yourself into more trouble then you want by deciding to flash your device anyway. But you probably already know that from your experience with the X10.

[Q] Bell Galaxy S i9000m running on Rogers... Gingerbread?

Hi All,
I bought the Bell version of the phone (Vibrant) because I wanted the front facing camera... Then unlocked and rooted it and inserted my Rogers SIM and have had no issues for quite a while. I successfully loaded Froyo when it became available on Kies without any sd problems. (had to re-root but no big deal).
Now I understand that Bell has released Gingerbread via Kies, but when I open Kies, it doesn't recognize my firmware at all... just shows blank.
I un-rooted and erased all data to see if that would allow me the upgrade but still nothing...
Can anyone offer any assistance or have the files that I can install using a different method?
Much appreciated,
Jamie

Use the search Luke....
Seriously, there is a huge thread detailing Bell's KG3, including dumps you can flash with Odin instead of using Kies. The best part? Even though it is only 9 posts down from yours, I ever got you the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211939
If you don't want to use KG3, just flash any of the Gingerbread roms in the development forum and flash an appropriate modem. 99% of those threads include flashing instructions.

Thanks,
I did read most of that thread but can't find anyone else who's using a Rogers SIM on an i9000m... I don't like or use Kies very often and I'm getting annoyed that it won't seem to even read my current firmware. MyPhoneExplorer seems to read it just fine but Kies seems to only want to be some kind of media toy.
I will borrow a Bell SIM to see if it will recognize long enough to use the Kies update, and if that fails I'll flash with Odin.
I assume I'll have to root again once I flash?

Yes you will.

make sure you have the latest version of kies, also make sure your csc is set to BMC (open dialer *#272*"your imei"*), select BMC and isntall that will factory reset your phone btw... after that it should work... I am not sure that a Rogers Sim card is affecting it, have you tried just pulling the SIM altogether and connecting? Are you running any custom ROMs currently or have you in the past? Maybe flash back to UGKC1 with Odin if you are and then use Kies to update.

Ended up finding some detailed instructions on "MostlyIrrelevant" for installing 2.3.4 with a Rogers (and Bell) supported Modem. a couple more steps to install the ROM, but it's a deodexed version of the international release with the bloatware removed and TW Launcher removed and replaced by TouchWiz... nicely also has CWM and Titanium in it too, so flashes are much easier from now on. (small workaround to get Bluetooth working but the solution was also in the comments section.) Next step to get back a couple pieces of Samsung bloatware back on... mostly SocialHub and Samsung e-mail... so I can connect all my contact lists and e-mail accounts into one place. I bookmarked the link to Pharaohnough's posting of the apks for these apps (THANKS!) that I want back but will have to wait 'till after work to try them.

[Q] [I9000M] How to root, and where to go from there?

I just got my phone back in September. I had known about rooting for quite a while and was interested in doing it to my phone and trying out some custom ROMs.
However, everywhere I look there seems to be many different ways to root. Superoneclick, Odin, and others. I just want to know how to go about this and also if it is possible to go back to the stock Samsung ROM and unroot if I don't like it. The main ROM I am considering is Cyanogenmod 7.1 as they just added official support for my device, but if there are any other good ones, let me know.
Phone info (I have the Bell I9000M, but it's on Virgin Mobile):
Model #: GT-I9000M
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000UGKG3
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
[email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Read the stickies mate. All information that you seek is hidden in the stickies that you scrolled past to post your thread.....
I would NOT entertain attempting to flash cm7 until you know what you are doing.
You will get little sympathy for a thread such as "i've just tried to install cm7, now I've fxxked my phone and don't know what to do..... "
Get yourself odin and eclair jm9 from samfirmware.com - for when things go very wrong, then read, read, read.

I looked through the stickied topics as well as several other posts on sites such as Android Forums before making this post. The massive How-to guide in the stickied topics seems to be primarily about rooting on 2.1 or 2.2, and I am on 2.3.
I was simply confused about the different methods of how to root, and made this post for clarification. I may be new to this but I do know things from all the forum topics and guides I have read so far.
What I don't know is which method works best for my device, and what I should be using to root in the first place. I have looked into Superoneclick and know that it works for the I9000, but don't know if it could work for mine. I figured someone here could answer that.
All I'm asking for is a few answers to the questions I have. Thanks.

To be honest, the i9000 and the i9000m are very similar devices. In fact, they're practically the same. For the most part, things that will work for the i9000 will work just fine for your device.

Definitely start with a custom samsung rom. Flash a custom kernel with odin, you have root. Super easy and almost idiot proof.
Back your **** up! Get titanium backup from the market and back up all your user apps. Take your time and do it right. Then go into recovery and do a backup from there.
Try a few roms out to get the feel for it. Unless your phone spews black smoke it is likely fixable. You will likely mess something up at some point, we all do at one time or another, but there are guides to walk you through getting back to square one.
Good luck.

Any other tips or suggestions? I can't find any rooting guides that are specific to my device. How do I go about installing Cyanogenmod after I root?

Generally, if it works for the i9000, it will work for the i9000m.

Yep, no problem. It's pretty confusing at first, especially since there are so many versions of the Samsung Galaxy S. The i9000 and the i9000m are quite similar; the Vibrant, Captivate, etc. are not. Feel free to use ROMs for the i9000 on your i9000m, unless it specifically says not to. But do not attempt to use anything for the other devices, such as flashing their firmware. That will just mess up your device. Oddly enough, when I got my i9000m, the box clearly said "Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant" on it—in multiple places. So without thinking, I flashed a Vibrant ROM onto my device. That gave me a whole lot of trouble and I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until later that I realized the barcode sticker on the box had the model listed as "i9000m". Why they would do this, I have no idea. But I can see how things get confusing with all the different models.
Anways, good luck! And have fun flashing.

The Bell Vibrant (i9000m) is different than the T-Mobile Vibrant (which is also called the i9000m). That being said, the Bell Vibrant is compatible with almost all (if not all) of the International model's (i9000) firmware.
If you just want to root for now, I would recommend flashing Chainfire's kernal since it's close to the stock kernal and is a pretty good first step until you get the hang of this whole custom ROM stuff.

I have a Bell GT-I9000m that I've unlocked to use it on Rogers network.
At first, I did have problems. Didn't have a phone for a day, cause i installed an app called battery percentage something to my unrooted I9000m that soft bricked my phone. Then I really started getting into rooting. My warrenty was over and already using the phone with another wireless provider.
I still don't completely understand how all things works but I have got around. Tried many ROMs.
And I after using custom rom, I have installed previous stock rom(such as a previous froyo rom) then successfully able to update with Kies (only 1 time though, cannot remember which stock rom ive used). Anyways, it is possible to go back to exact stock state you've previsously had after installing a custom rom.
What i do:
1. Look for a custom rom that i like (such as CM7.1, darky rom, simplicity) in "Galaxy S I9000 Android Development" section. There should be a stick that has the list of ROMs or seperate posts with the latest ROMs. Download that ROM.
2. Read up on it. It will say which stock rom it is built from or say which stock rom you should install before installing the custom rom (i.e., 2.3.4jvr, 2.3.5jvt and such)
3. Find that stock rom. There are posts in the forum that says stock rom collection. Find the specified rom with Sbl(i.e., jvt, jvr)
4. Reboot ur phone into recovery mode (if u are coming from a stock rom, it will say 3e recovery). Do factory reset and clear cache (at this point, you should've backed up ur personal files already)
5. Reboot into Download mode(hold Home+volume down+power as you turn on the device). Run "Odin" on ur PC. If you unzip the stock rom file, it should contain 3 different files PDA, Phone, CSC.(Do not much understand this part, just following instruction. From what I understand PDA is like the OS?(like Windows?), Phone is the modem for like dialing, 3G connections and such? and CSC? no idea)
6. Put those 3 files accordingly into the odin and put "s1_odin_2010512.pit" file into the "PIT" section.(when you do this "Re-Partition" would automatically get cheched. Leave it as it is checked)
7. Connect your "I9000m" device with USB. PC will recognize your device. Click "Start". It will start doing stuff to your phone.
8. Find the Kernel that will root your device. Go to "Galaxy S I9000 Android Development". There's a sticky called "SGS - 2.3.4 Ginger Bread Custom Roms & Kernels). Scroll down and you will see the list of Kernels (i.e., CF-Root, Semaphore, Blockbuster and such. so far, I've only tried CF and semaphore, which worked fine for me). Click on one of them and find the one that matches the stock rom that you've install(stock jvr -> CF-Root-XX-OXA-JVR). Download that and unzip it.
9. Reboot your phone into Download moad again(hold Home+volume down+power as you turn on the device). Open "Odin" agian. This time only load the ".tar" file that was contained the Kernel that you've downloaded, nothing else. Connect your phone. Click on "Start". This will also do stuff to your phone. Again reboot into the "Recovery Mode". Do "Factory Reset" and "Clear Cache"
10. After Rebooting you will have "Superuser" app installed on your phone, if not download it from the marekt. Now, you are rooted.
11. For Semaphore and CF-Root, there's CWM or semaphore app, that let's me to reboot into CWM recovery mode (not the original 3e recovery).
12. Boot your phone Normally and Copy the Cumtom ROM file(.zip) onto your phone(has to be in the "internal SD", your "external SD" is not recognized in the recovery mode).
13. Boot into CWM recovery mode.
14. Go down using "volume down" button to "install zip from sdcard". Press "power" to select.
15. Again use "volume down" to "choose zip from sdcard". Press "Power" to select.
16. You will see the custom ROM file(.zip). Go down to the .zip file (i.e., "Simply_Honey_5.1_LightCWM.zip"). Press "Power". This will start doing stuff to your phone for awhile and boot after will take awhile as well.
17. Once you are successfully boot into the phone, it will ask you to set-up stuff(wifi, google account). Do all that. Now you are basically done.
18. My extra step. Reboot into "Download mode". Download the Stock "UGKG3" rom. Unzip it. Open "Odin". Load only "Phone" file into the odin from "UGKG3" ROM. Then click "Start"
*If you are gonna attempt to follow my steps, "DO IT OWN YOUR OWN RISK"
But from my experience, it is pretty safe procedure and you could go back to Samsung Stock state.
I've went through a lot of ROMs in a very short period of time. Had ROMs with random Reboot problem, roboot problem when playing games and cell signal pick-up problem. From my experience so far, ran into some bad lucks with the signal problem with the most recent JVT rom, even with stock. JVR was okay with the signal, but I flash the phone with "UGKG3" modem. Not entirely sure does it does affect the phone, just feel like doing it since it's for specifically i9000m. LOL.
Like the other guy said. If it works for I9000, it will most-likely work for I9000m.
Currently on "Simply Honey 5.1" 2.3.4jvs

Hi, sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I have a question.
I decided to try rooting my phone a while back with SuperOneClick, and it worked. However, I'm not sure what to do here with regards to ROM Manager. Would it work if I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through it, and then flash CyanogenMod?
I wish all this wasn't so confusing.

Check here to find out what to do with the ROM Manager:

Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant [i9000M BELL]

Hello XDA community,
Lend me your ear..eyes.
I have relentlessley been trying to find a way to flash my phones rom to a ICS port but scouering the internet, hard it has been (Yoda Voice).
I am hoping that someone who has been able to sucessfully flash ICS on a Bell Vibrant [i9000m] can point me in the right direction. I see alot of i9000 guides but we all know how those end up when you try to follow them on a phone with just slight differences and I really dont want to have a *epic fail* moment and be forced to have to dust off the old Motorolla Milestone.
Whoever can help me will get will get the feeling of accomplishment and be labeled as just a nice guy, or girl.
-Additional Info-
The phone was sucessfully rooted using SuperOneClick v2.3.3
Model Number: GT-i9000M
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: i9000UGKG3
Build number: GINGERBREAD.GK3
Let me know if you need anything else. I am quick to respond.
So please XDAers show me how to use the force. The force of ODIN if necessary

But, even though it will work, don't waste your time with Allgamer's endless method.
Here's how I did it without any issue at all!
Choose your ICS flavor (OneCosmics' Team ICSSGS or TeamHacksung CM9) and follow the provided instructions to the letter.
There is only one extra step once you're done : to flash a compatible 850MHz band enabled modem.
For this, download the CM7/CM9 compatible UGKG3 modem from the link below and flash via CWM.

Voilà, you have a working ICS on your i9000m... enjoy!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19983502&postcount=2
follow this post. At first it seemed like I was stuck in boot loop, but I unplugged the usb cable and plugged it back in. You gotta wait a few mins for it to boot, so be patient. This happened twice, but after, everything was sorted out. Then after you get ICS up and running I recommend installing the wifix apk to fix the wi-fi signal issue. You should be good to go then.

[Q] No Service after Installing Custom ROM

Hi,
I'm pretty new to the whole custom ROM scene and have come across a problem when installing CynogenMod version 10.1.3-RC2-galaxysmtd. I've been able to get everything else working but can't seem to get any network service or GPS.
I've read numerous articles on flashing a correct radio or installing a new modem (not sure if this is the same thing or not?) if you can't get any service but haven't done this yet. I've also read articles on moving the files from sdcard\backup\efs into the efs folder in the phone memory which I've tried but doesn't seem to work either.
My baseband version is I9000XXJVT and the rom is running on android 4.2.2. Before the ROM I'm currently on I came from a stock Gingerbread ROM. Was there something I needed to do when coming from a stock ROM that I missed?
Any help on this would be appreciated as I've hit a bit of brick wall
Thanks

Hey there,
So long story short, you've probably lost your IMEI. You can check this by going into Settings -> About Phone -> Status then scrolling down to IMEI. If it begins with 044 or something similar then you know you've lost it.
So to solve this:
1. Flash back to the stock Gingerbread you were on by means of Odin, there are many guides for this but the one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308 is quite comprehensive (and leave the OP a thanks as well)
2. Download CM9 from the Cyanogenmod website.
3 Root your S again (this will depend on which Gingerbread rom you flash).
4. Boot into CWM recovery. Do the usual data/cache/Dalvik wipes.
5. Install CM9. Let it boot. You don't need to download ICS gapps for CM9 as all you need it to do is boot.
The reason why you install CM9 is to make sure that the IMEI sticks when you then flash a JB rom. Flashing straight to JB from GB tends to lose the IMEI as said before.
6. Once you've let it boot, reboot into recovery again. You don't really need to do the same three wipes again. Install CM10.1.3 RC2. You'll need to flash the zip a few times- three times at least. Flash Gapps as well, of course.
That should hopefully make your signal reception and GPS work
(I covered this quite briefly so if you do need clarification on any of the steps don't hesitate to ask)

Hi
I checked and I do have an IMEI number which begins with 3 not 0. I also checked the IMEI number and it brought back the correct phone details.
Should I still follow the guid you have linked to or do I not need to do that?
Thanks.

Odd... If the IMEI is intact then you should be geting reception. What you could do is make a backup of your rom and then try the steps I suggested to see if you get the same problem.
Most likely however its due to your modem. In the development thread there's a list of modems compatible with the I9000. Try flash XXJW4 or one for your country through recovery and see if that fixes anything- if not, try the steps.
