I am looking at a Verizon Tab i800 that appears to not have an operating system installed. How would this happen? Is this as easy to fix as rooting through Heimdal and then installing CM9 and GAPPS? Anyone ever see anything like this?

I don't know if it's possible but, if it can go into download mode, it should not be a problem.

You mean you purchased a non-functional tab and you want to know how to fix it?
That depends on what is wrong with it, it would help if you actually gave any relevant info like if you can go into download or recovery mode etc?
If yes then simply flash the kernel/rom you want, done!
If not then go read some topics, there are plenty of "tab cant boot" topics about, no need for us to just repeat questions/answers.

I have ROM Manager installed because I have read of folks using it with the SGT 7", but it is detecting my Tab as an I-9000. Anyone know how to get this to work right?

Manager is not compatible with the P1000.
Try searching/reading before creating topics, it helps.
But he sent from sch-i800
Is that a Verizon tab? I am not so sure about rom manager for that either though.
But frankly I would be asking too, is first time I heard.

I did search before, that's how I read that people use it. Just can't find the thread again. Plus XDA restricts your ability to search if you are a new user.

...huh?
How do you mean restricts, I am unaware of any restrictions on search or even why there would be a restriction?
I think you must be mistaken.
definitely not restict.
It may not be as good as google.
BTW, you can use google with the site: directive
Rom manager SCH-I800 site:http://forum.xda-developers.com/
But I think TheATHEiST is right. ROM Manager doesn't support any of Galaxy Tab 7 variant.
Basically if ROM Manager does't find your device, it is not supported.
And don't you try to flash other device's ROM into it.
It may be hard to get out from it. Once the bootloader is screwed, you have a brick.
Only way is to use kernel that has Chainfires CWM manager built in. I cant remember which kernel it is though and think it would only be for GB.
Hey everyone!
I've had plenty of Android phones through out the years. But recently i had the Iphone 4s. But after 3 months I was so sick of it. So today, i went and bought myself a SGN, and i love it! Have been playing around with it for 1-2 hours now.
I just rooted it via a youtube-clip I found. I'm still on gingerbread though, cuz I don't have a normal sized sim card (the iphone only takes small ones). But here are my questions I need help with.
1) Is there any way to update to ICS without a simcard? Because when I try to update OTA, it just says "Insert simcard".
2) What is your keyboard of choice?
3) I've seen plenty of you guys going in to so called "tablet mode". How do you do that? I want my phone to be in landscape all the time.
4) Is there any good battery packs that works with a flip (book style) case that works like a kickstand if you fold it in a special way? I have seen both good 3rd part batteries AND nice flip book cases that can be folded in to a kickstand, but I want the two of them in one. Or a better battery that are the same physical size as the stock one.
Thanks!
Have a look to my signature, it will be better for good starting

Best keyboard is Swype.
Don't know about SIM free install.
I suspect a CWM install doesn't require a SIM.
Make sure you read Dr. Ketan for all of the critical info you need for safe ROM and kernel flashing.

dude, is there any way u can give me like 5 min one-on-one help on skype? It's so much text on your (amazing) tutorial-threads.. my head hurts haha
I think it was your video on youtube I saw. So, I have rooted Gingerbread, but want ICS and rooted. Do i have to "unroot" to update to ICS? or can I flash a ICS rom just the way i did with gingerbread one? I'm a bit confused here haha.

The best way to mess with roms on a rooted note is mobile odin pro. Flash whatever rom you like without ever loosing root again.

Answers
1st :- You can flash ICS using PC Odin or Mobile Odin Pro. Just download the rom from ketan thread and put your phone in download mode by pressing Vol Down+Home+Power button simultaneously.
2nd :- For me Swiftkey 3. Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey&feature=top-paid
3rd :- Tablet mode is the mode that runs on tablets. But as the developers doing wonders day by day you can use it on SGN too. There are some roms in Original Android Development Thread that supports Tablet mode like Paranoid Android/Milestone 6/JB/CM10/CM9 editions. Link to thread :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1700
4th :- You can have a look in the accessories section here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1348
Or here

I think I've messed up a bit haha. I flashed ICS with PC odin, and everything was fine. But I wanted do try Paranoidandroid. And in that thread it said that you should go back to GB before flashing it. So i did via the link in your signature. I flashed back to GB. But now my phone got messed up. I can boot it up. But at the "first-start-installation" thingy i get FC's on RAM and some calender stuff. Also, when i try to type in my gmail in the beginning it just types "null" for every letter I try to write.
Have i been so stupid and bricked my phone? Could it be that your GB in your signature was a full wipe recovery thing? Cuz I remembered somewhere that you shouldn't wipe the stock ICS.
You have any plans?
As for now, i'm downloading Paranoidandroid v0.5 and i'm going to try to flash it right away and see what happends.
Nothing to.worry, just reboot in recovery and wipe cache and data then flash custom rom.
Force closes is normal when you flash gb rom over ics. And null typing error will go with mew rom.

ok so i got ParanoidAndroid to work. No problem. The only problem I have now is installing the gapps. can't find the zip file for it. On the link in the thread, there's like 12 different files, but no complete zip file for gapps. And I tried to download them all, but them on my sd card and install. But all of them fails. it's like frameworks, some settings thingy n stuff. But non of them works to install from the recovery menu.

A friend tried messin around with his tab when he doesnt even know how to jailbreak an iphone 3g... The tab wouldnt even boot past the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but it was able to get to download mode... I used a guide to update it to gingerbread using odin, and everything went well! I opened odin, selected PIT and chose the P1_add_hidden.pit file, then i selected PDA and chose the P1000NVFJP6_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJPB_HOME.tar.md5 file, and i made sure i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update.. everything went well, but on recovery it was unable to update the systemfile.. but everything else on recovery updated and installed fine! as it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootanimation in the part it says Samsung glowing.. did i do something wrong? how can i fix this? I am still able to get to recovery and download mode fine..
Use overcome method like described here

Btw, you should not have checked Clear Efs.
The replace bootloader too.
And best to use Odin 1.7 included in the gb stock safe in that link I give you.

Why do some people think its rational to use absolutely ridiculous titles like "hlp plz" etc etc??
Please use common sense and use descriptive titles, ie a short title that describes your topic for people browsing the forum. "help plz" does not describe your topic in absolutely any way other then somebody using a completely generic title.

V1P3R-X
I have recently Restored my N1 from an ICS ROM and am back on Gingerbread 2.3.6.
I am wanting to remove some system apps but I cannot for the life of me find out how to root the N1.
Much googling has lead me to dead ends and dead links and I feel I am missing something really obvious that everyone else but me knows.
The guides I have found on rooting all appear to involve custom ROMs which I don't want at the moment.
The bootloader is still unlocked and I know at some point in the past I did have the device rooted on gingerbread but I can't remember how?
try www.unlockroot.com

Thanks.
If I may be so bold... what would be the best app to use to actually remove the system apps?
I have used one in the past but found that when I removed anything it would shut off the nexus completely and not actually remove anything.
use titanium backup. it would be safe to hv a backup via a custom recovery, before removing system apps...

Yes, there is a lot of reading to do, if you want to study it all.
I dont think SuperOneClick is meant for ICS, I will recommend you to look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028946
And then I would suggest you try option 2 in "How to get root". You dont need to download ICS, you already have it.
Good luck.
