Good evening all,
My Christmas present to myself arrived a bit early. Its a used Galaxy Tab 1000!!
It is running the Froyo 2.2 and when it boots up at some point it displays "Orange". I put my own sim (not Orange) first it says you cannot use your sim card, then i went to settings and enabled voice and it seems to be working.
Ideally i would like to install MIUI onto my tab, as I was using MIUI on an my HTC Desire and I was very happy with it.
I looked through the forum and i read the newbie guides and after some stress i managed to root it using z4root. (First i try with the Superoneclick but it stuck on step 7)
Now i am trying to install the MIUI but in most guides i saw it says i must to have gingerbread, but i dont know how to get there, and i dont want to destroy my Tab. I was saving my money for many days to get it.
Can somebody help me to get to MIUI?
Thanks
The Tab is still a pretty useful device! It's a P-1000, not one of the other versions? In that case it's best to install Overcome. It's a great way to put GB on a Tab. Look for one of priyana's posts, he has links to instructions and the files you'll need.
I just saw one of priyana's posts. That link should be this thread.

Hi ableeker and thanks for responding. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have read so many posts these past few days and it gets a bit confusing. I will study the post you suggested carefully and i will ask any questions there...
To answer your question it is a GT-P1000 (it says so on the back) and i bought it used from Austria (ebay). It is Orange branded (indicated by Orange logo splashscreen at startup and shutdown).
In the about phone screen i get the following information:
Model Number: GT-P1000
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: P1000BVJI3
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.BVJJ2
Ideally i would like to know whether the fact that this device is branded means that i have to use a different / adjusted process to install Overcome. But i will also ask this question in the post you pointed out to me.
Thanks once again for responding!

I Recently buyed me an galaxy tab, and i rooted it with z4root and i removed stock home launcher from the rom, and now i decide to make a factory reset.
I rebooted the tab and then after boot i cant do anything ! I dont have any launcher! How do i fix this ?
Thnx: Modstar
Start by posting in the right section : General
First off, wrong forum, should be in general.
Find Rotos thread and follow the instructions carefully.
Sent from my mind. Or a Galaxy Tab
Yes, wrong forum, but just to get you in the right direction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763 Is the pre-rooted firmware from rotohammer, you will need this.
Secondly: I recommend the Overcome kernel and rom for your tab, as it's very stable and pretty much just a great rom. You can find it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
In the second thread, go down to the section "IF your Tab does not boot after flashing the kernel and hangs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, you must follow the following procedure" section of the original post and follow the direction exactly as stated.
Okey sorry about that i posted it in wrong section.
Thnx for the answers but i want it to be as if i buyed it from the store.
Than you will have to find the stock rom that came with your device... and depending on the exact model that could vary.

Hi, Thanks if your reading this and answering me i really can understand what to do so ill just ask so many stupid question and see if you know some of them. so First how do i know if i have a GSM / CDMA?. Next if i got either the two one what is the best way to optimize my Tab. in a certain way that i can root/flash/rom/hack or etc. and my main concern is that if i was to return all it back like a factory restore can it be done?.
So in anyway possible help me i bought my SGT in Philippines and we get like a Open Line SGT i can use all our Telcom providers and use Different Sim Cards so i really can't tell what to do first.

You have the GSM Tab, I'm sure. CDMA is NOT very common in the Philippines, and you have a sim card slot, CDMA doesn't have this.
Also, unless your Tab was illegally imported from somewhere, you have the international version.

I recommend you try out your stock ROM first, and read heavily on these forums. Know your Tab, current firmware, etc..
Once you've decided to play around your tab's ROM, then follow these guidelines. NOTE: It is possible that you will end up with a very expensive paperweight (brick) if you make a mistake somewhere along the way. Tread carefully.
First, enter *#1234# in your phone dialer to get your Tab's firmware.
2nd: backup your data (in Kies) and apps (in Titanium Backup)
3rd: Root your device using SuperOneClick (this voids your warranty)
SuperOneClick with instructions can be found here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4th: Verify that your "bootloader" is not locked. Last few releases by Samsung locked the bootloader so flashing the firmware may damage or brick your Tab.
You can use Bootloader patch to check. It's here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071&highlight=*#1234#
Again, read carefully and follow the directions..
5th: Finally, one of the best ROMs out there is Overcome. You will find all you need here. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
I suggest you print out the included instructions (in pdf). You will also find all the links to files that you need in this thread.
I cannot stress further the gravity of your decisions... .. Follow the steps carefully and faithfully..
6th: If something goes wrong (I hope not), please don't blame me.
Best of luck!
P.S.

Thanks for the warning i kinda know Bricking and doing this to Galaxy Tab is Voiding your Warranty but i was so stupid i cant tell if i am using GSM but now for what you told me GSM is a Tab that use Sim and for using my Tab now its kinda great but i wanna maximize my Tab so i can do different things and for now ill just read and read but still going to wait for more things and before i do this i am going to enjoy my Tab. Already Sold my iPad and i kinda want to know if SGT 7" is already good or ill be buying the new SGT 8.9 and 10.1 so for now thank you very much and already reading some files but wish some Filipino already tried this but i think ill do just fine i can understand some part but still need to read first and will ask again if need help. BTW are you a Filipino or ???
I'm a Filipino too.
Voiding your warranty should be no problem since you can unroot your phone back. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that you got the GSM one since as Sef pointed out, it's pretty rare for us to use a CDMA device (partly thanks to our backwards and slow internet back home).
Moreover, to optimize your device, just try the ROMs out. You should read the guides how to flash them, of course, whether you wanna use Heimdall or Odin.
Pinoy ako! Hehehe.. (Im Filipino too! LOL)
I feel the same way now about flashing.. I am confident in doing it but am still doing heavy research. Take note that some roms do not have all the features of the stock rom, and they have bugs too.
Maybe in a month or so, I`ll flash this tab and then update this thread.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Okay Thanks ill be doing it too in a few weeks or months just need to double check some details and if i make it success full ill make a guide how i did mine. wish someone in phil can make a video or guide . i keep hearing that using mod ROMs rocks. but still lets see what happen.
hi bro. im also in the phils. ive got my tab from smart for two months, and i'd say im quite satisfied with the stock rom. with all the posts i read from various threads regarding problems in installing custom roms (the latest, also here, regarding overcome sucking the tab's batt), im not fully convinced to try it. my two cents: why fix something that is not broken?
ive had my sonyericsson xperia x8 also for quite sometime now, and flashing it is much less complicated than doing it in the tab. i simply cant risk bricking my tab!
also,a wk ago i had my tab repaired in samsung head office because of dim display. they replaced the lcd even if my tab is already rooted. so rooting i think doesnt make you lose your warranty! they even upgraded my firmware. love the new date, time and weather widgets.
i will just wait for the gingerbread upgrade this may!

im finding it hard to use kies with the tab here in the office. i already tried two computers, one with xp and the the other with vista. kies in my windows xp laptop at home successfully detected my tab. ill try when i get home, and ill post after.
to my fellow users of sgt here in the philippines: what case are you using with your tab, and where did you get it? i cannot find the best case for sgt here in the philippines.
On my side. It detects my tab but says its version cannot be updated.
As for casing im using a rubber case

Hello all,
I've been reading and downloading from xda for over a year now (sgs- darky's rom mainly), and this is my FIRST POST!
I know i can find my answer just by looking but i really wanted to post for the first time so here's my question- My tab is in the post (got it from ebay as i'm a pauper and can't afford it new, or the 8.9 or 10.1) and obviously want to root it straight away. I've seen that some are using z4 root but my sgs won't accept this method, can i be sure it'll work?
take care fellow "tabbers"
PS the doorbell just rang and it's here! *wets pants and logs off*

I need to get gingerbread (at least) on this thing straight away! Or any cool roms you can recommend?
How do i find out if it's GSM or CDMA? i'm in the UK... That is probably a really stupid question, but i'm a stupid guy... A stupid guy who loves android and wants to learn more!
Any links to the right places would be really appreciated
First you're not stupid. You're just new and learning.
Second your tab judging by its firmware is gsm european tab.
Third you can root using superoneclick root.
Fourth. Head to the development section and you will find alot of great roms (or click on my sig if you're interested in overcome). JUST BE SURE TO READ ENTIRE GUIDES AND STUDY THEM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.

So many people get themselves into trouble by not reading instructions or skipping ahead.
Easy to get yourself into trouble, can be VERY hard getting out...
Thank you for all the help, most kind I'm at work now so will try some bits tomorrow, managed to get rooted before leaving tho

Your tab is rooted already. Look at the kernal version. In your apps you will see something called Superuser. Tap it. If its there and opens you are rooted.

That's what really confused me, the kernel said root on it, but no super user was there and none of my purchased root apps could aquire root.... so I used super one click as advised and hey presto! Still confused as to why it said that on my kernel tho...

Welcome!~ Let me tell you it'll get frustrating at first, but if you have patience and are willing to put in some time to learn things you will no doubt be amazed at what you can do.
I had a similar issue a while back and I started a thread, which blew up with information, so I suggest you look through there as it has useful tips from some really great members about what you're looking for. I see you're looking to upgrade from 2.3.3. The latest in my thread is version 2.3.6 and that one is great. Try that out first and when you're ready I suggest moving onto Cyanogenmod 7.1 as it's based on the latest Gingerbread build 2.3.7
Good luck! Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375971
this thread is useful i reckon. good luck.

Thanks,
Does my phone have to be unlocked? It if so the only way to unlock that I've seen is to use another sim card.
No, your phone does not need to be unlocked.
I'm currently running the JW1 (2.3.6) ROM that was released at the end of January with the Bell phone and modem files.
See post #9 in the thread pk1025 linked to.
It discusses and visually displays how to take pieces of different ROMs and install them on a Bell GT-i9000m phone.
It talks about installing JVT, but the same thing applies if you wish to install JW1 or the JVU value pack version discussed here.
Thanks alot the process is making alot more sense.
What's the most current stable version of 2.3.6. and where do I get it from?
Hello, this is my first time posting on this forum, so hi to everyone.
My question is pretty simple: I have bought a Samsung GT-i9305. I didn't know that it is a branded version (T-Mobile, if anyone knows how to check exactly what version that is, tell me and I'll try to provide necessary information) though. Now there comes my question. Is it possible to remove all of the android rom that is installed on this device and replace it with a fresh, non-branded version? Even stock samsung 4.4 android would be sufficient for my needs. I just need some guidance because I'm afraid I'll brick my phone if i do something wrong and I wouldn't want that. The branded soft annoys me very much, everytime I do an update of the system it installs some useless aplications (they have German names, so my guess would be that this branding is T-Mobile german edition, bought it in Poland though). What's more, I also tried to root the device a few months ago, but to no effect, and now it says that my device has been modified when I try to update it.
I hope this is the right board to ask the question.
I can't give screenshots of the device information because of spam protection for new users. Maybe I can give them to you via PM, if anyone would be interested in helping me.
Thanks in advance to everyone trying to help me.
EDIT: I also tried to install a cyanogen mod on this device and I got the message that this device isn't supported by cyanogen mod.
First make sure of the model of the phone. You should see it in "settings -> about device -> model number"
If you have the i9305, then you could check out this thread by @MaHo_66. It has a nice collection of de-bloated stock 4.4.4 roms.
First you will have to root your phone and install a custom recovery. HERE is a good guide to start, again from @MaHo_66

Yeah, of course it's helpful. Thanks a lot! I liked your post and I'll definitely try the guides you linked.

I wouldn't worry too much about matching build versions, just try a build for your country/region and you shouldn't have any dramas. If you can find a build that uses your provider, you can benefit from the most optimized baseband, but any should work well for your country
