Flashing UK stock ROM on a French Tab 8.9 - possible?? - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Hi all, posting this on behalf of a mate.
I will quote what he has asked me and if any of you clever lot can answer this I and he would be most grateful.
I bought a Galaxy tab 8.9 from expansys a few months ago & they sent the French version. Firmware & lots of aps were French but most of it was crap anyway.
I've been waiting for the ics firmware update but I'm wondering if it'll just update the file to a French one? Any ideas?
Even better I think there's a jellybean rom for the 7310 which is probably better but I haven't got a clue how to flash it?

It's a P7310 running android 3.2
Any and all help appreciated on this one folks
Cheers in advance.

All the answer is in development section

got the exact same model from expansys with the french rom. updated it to the uk rom no probs n then took the plunge and installed the us version of ics and again it worked no problem so in short flash away

Upgrade to ICS
Thanks to suwandiapr & nirogu325, I could not thank them in development section due to less than 10 posts.
I have upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 of USA (Stock) from HC 3.2 of Switzerland (AUT). I have read about screen issues affecting the people who have upgraded to ICS from HC, especially tab with firmware region of AUT (Switzerland). So I flashed to USA Version of HC 3.2 and then Kies automatcially upgraded to ICS 4.0.4. I am really happy and no problem with screen.:victory:

[Q] New Tab owner - quesion about upgrading to GB

Hi Guys,
I bought a Galaxy Tab P1000N and i have Froyo2.2
I would like to update to GingerBread 2.3 at least but with all the manuals out there, i'm affraid i'll brick it.
This is the info i have:
Model number GT-P1000N
Firmware Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version P1000NUBJM2
Build number FROYO.UBJM7
Can you please point me to the right manual? if it is even possible to update it?
I tried installing the latest Kies from the EU site, but it says my version is up to date..
Thanks,
Roi
can i say if you going to update to gingerbread you should use a custom rom based on gingerbread and the OVERCOME ROM is the best so far as for the battery life is amazing and the tab will be much faster ... head to their thread and read about it and step by step will will find everything you need to know ..
Thanks!
Medoo88 - 2 questions:
1. I need to be absolutely sure that with the specs i gave above, my tab will handle this.
2, Since you're in Egypt, this question is even more relevant: Does the Gingerbread ROM have good Arabic/Hebrew support?
Thanks,
Roi
Shalom
I used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854&highlight=tmobile+rom and it worked for me. I used the "with bootloader" methed.
Take your time and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS...I found CF-root 3.3 at another thread and used it.
Good luck.

Did you do it on a P1000N ?
How complicated is it? (not a complete noob at ROMs, but not familiar with tabs nonetheless..)

It started life as a Tmobile Model SGH-T849. After the GB upgrade, it now shows as a GT-P1000.
I am able to make and receive telephone calls with my tmobile sim. I'm very happy with the update. I have no data plan so don't know anything about that function. Very stable and working great.
I'm very new to all this. I took my time, followed the instructions and it work just like they said it would.
Overcome doesn't have Arabic language or locale, but at least two team members are Arabic or Egyptian, so they made a patch that you apply to the Overcome rom for those languages/locale of that region.
The reason kies says you are up to date is samsung hasn't released any new roms in your country.
Any tab with a sim card can be upgraded to 2.3.3.
Get the guide from Team Overcome, read everything twice. You have a windows 7 pc available?
Remember I told you to remember JM2. You'll understand later.
Rangercaptain -
Many thanks. thats the answer i needed.
Although i need a hebrew support and not Arabic, i still think its worth upgrading to.
I'll do the Overcome team patch, and will remember JM2
Yes i have Win 7 on my PC..
[Edit]
One thing i found out on Overcome website, is this announcement:
"Overcome ROMs/Kernels will NOT work with Latin American Tabs (the P1000L/N Galaxy Tabs)/CDMA-Based Tabs (If your Tab doesn’t have a SIM card, it won’t work…sorry!)/Wi-Fi Only Tabs (P1010 models!)"
Am I in the wrong place?
This is your thread:

How did you end up with a South American tab in Israel?
Anyway, there are big differences with your N-model, in drivers (for the tv app, and the digitizer). Read it all, and let me know if you have any questions.

Orange Israel ran out of tabs. and offered to credit me if i buy one from other vendors, so i bought from a vendor who, probably, self imported it from South America..
Thanks for the help!

Its a minefield but fun

Your question is quite vague. But will try to answer it as per what i understood !!
If you want to know the stock kernel and modem firmware then you can go to development section and search for modems and stock roms. Link for that in my signature.
But all these are for GB roms.
Since you are on CM9 which is ICS so there are no stock kernels because ICS is not yet released for Note officially by Samsung.
Hope this helps!!
CHeers!

There is no JB update available for Note yet, the information in that link is incorrect.
And it's mentioned in the same link that it's 4.0.4
"Select files that you have to flash or install on your phone, files found from the extracted files after download of Android 4.0.4 N7000 XXLRU"
I don't think that software was really jellybean. As far as I know there is no official jelly bean update for N7000 yet. If I was you I wouldn't flash it, go with an unofficial build in android development section. As for language, you can select on boot so shouldn't matter, but I would still stay away from this '4.1.4 leak'
Edit: was beaten to it ^^ as jeetu1981said ^^

I'll be brave and try it out. YOLO? lol
I'll be brave and try it out guys, backing up my phone as we speak, I'll update you with screenshots if it actually works.
Hopefully this won't brick my phone (I've fixed quite a few bricked phones in the past so I should be alright)

Yes, I do understand the consequences, but I just wanted to try it out since no one seemed to have tried it yet and see if the leak is legit. If all else fails I'll just claim insurance for it.
Already such experiment was made with
Odin
CWM
Mobile Odin
Nothing was useful, and this kind of thread already burried 2 days ago.
seems to be an OTA update?
there's none ever official JB release yet. I bet Official JB would come perhaps early next year.. I doubt it'll be primed for this year as there's still too much devices that needs to be upsold and marketed (with official stock JB already, e.g. Note 2). Once the new stocks are being sold in the mainstream... then that will be the time the official JB would be released.

[Q] Unbranded 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 Official ROM for 9305

Hi all,
New here, so please go easy. I had a search around and am a bit lost in trying to find what I am looking for.
Hoping someone may be able to help me please.
Is there a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 unbranded ROM available for the 9305 (4G/LTE) model of the S3?
I have two GT-9305T's and want to get rid of the current the Australian Telstra ROM that's them.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
For me I love the 4.1.2 I will never go back untill we officially get the 4.1.2 thanks to Ausdim we dont have to wait. Its much better then 4.11 more responsive more options and all round better
To answer his question: yes there is an unbranded version for sure. Atm only for 4.1.1. This is one of them: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=9082
(For Sweden, but does not matter, you should be able to use any of them)
I flashed the Sweden one myself since I imported a Vodafone one from Germany.

My phone was on LRK but I'm from the UK
Mine was From Italia, i changed to LRK because Germany always gets the updates first (at least for note, or at least the last 3 major updates) and I'm from Venezuela..
I see no point on changing roms to brasil or any south American carrier.. They get the updates months after the official its released...

This baseband version have just received JB update?

There is no official jb out yet, we're still waiting. There are leaked source jb roms which are as close to stock as possible like lsa or lsc but they still have bugs.

Btw, official jb is likely to be released soon, like within a month unless Samsung do as they did with ics and run over again, but judging by the leaks, that's doubtful I'd say.

Samsung promised JB to February?
That's good..
They have not promised anything whatsoever.
