Just wondering if I can put Gingerbread on it. I tried Honeycomb, and while it sorta worked, it's really just not ready yet for using as a daily OS.
Thanks,

same question for noob like me...

No not yet... and dont try it cause it will brick your tab, but always remember if you brick it as long as you can get into download mode you can always unbrick your tab (Sprint) using EA-24.
BTW: Wrong catagory for questions. Use Q&A
Sorry I've been reading this forum all day
Yeah I already bricked it a few times and then brought it back with EA24, which is what I am running now. Is there anything better? I really want those CRT on/off animations and stuff.
I too would love to see a GB rom for us. Probably won't happen though.

Well if you could flash a rom to it -it wasn't "bricked". The term "brick" is used far to loosely now. Its bricked when you cant restore with software and you have to either replace or repair board with jtag etc. What you did was simply screw a flash up so device wouldn't boot a rom.

You will but you will likely have to wait for your carrier or Samsung to update you via kies or you flash manually once its released.
PS. You shouldnt be creating topic sin this section, this is for devs/chefs only for posting roms/kernels/ref etc. Stick to Q&A and read sticky topics.
Hey, question: It's a sprint Tab, but I don't use Sprint and I don't care if the cell modem doesn't work at all. Is the rest of the hardware so different that I can't use one of the GSM ones, for example?

but can't find an answer.... is it doable? Also, what other mods can I do to it? I wish XDA had a section for each version of the tab, I have a huge headache from trying to find my answer.... thanks guys
bump..... Please guys, help me out. I tried rooting last night but failed, guess I tried the root from a different tab... so please help me out... I'm getting ready to smash this thing
Really, no one can help me out? ... maybe another forum has more courteous members.

Do you think that bumping your post two hours after posting it is courteous?
I just got a Galaxy Tab WiFi myself, but I did my research *before* I bought it. No Gingerbread is available, that I know of. There are not many alternative ROMs for the WiFi only model.
What did you use in your rooting attempt? The only two ways I know are with a Windows app or with z4root, an Android app. I haven't tried either one, here is a link to z4root on this forum.

SuperOneClick should be able to help you root your Tab.
Here's the Noob Rooting Guide with links and downloads.
Always do your research. The Development forums will be one of your best resources for your Tab.

No offense but if you're going to criticize you might as well not even comment to avoid any frustrations or arguments as a result. Thank you for the link, I was able to find z4 and lag fix yesterday.... applied both but i might roll back on the lag fix since I have no haptic feedback now unless anyone knows of a fix? I wasn't able to find anything on Google... wifi only tab and p1010 aren't too popular searches.

*sigh* waiting for this too..
****ty Samsung , is it so hard to just make an official Gb for this little tab considering the workforce they have at their disposal.
At one point I had heard that the Sprint stock GB (2.3.4) update worked on the Wifi only tabs, but I don't have a wifi only to test with.
I haven't heard of any alternative roms for the wifi only version.

Check with Kies, see if you have a firmware update. I only have a P1000, but maybe it's similar.
oh yeah, give time for people to reply your thread. Don't be a spoiled kid.

EDIT: from other answers here the Sprint GB 2.3.4 ROM stock or rooted sounds the way to go, so it looks like this should work for you as it did for me on my Verizon CDMA tab.
It's hard to say for sure, experimentation is part of the fun, but killing the tab isn't. I didn't find any definitive answers on flashing a Sprint CDMA ROM on to a Verizon CDMA Galaxy Tab (for example), so I decided to try for myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255339
I suspect doing a FULL ROM flash would be a *very* bad idea (it seems doing that with a GSM ROM on other (non-GSM) tabs KILLS it). However, the technique I used was only to apply the kernel and filesystems, so I would *think* if you had a backup from before (always best to have a backup anyway, right?) you could always revert. You may want to look around and check to see if stock WIFI images are out there (I don't know for sure) but the Voodoo or CwM (ClockworkMod) recovery backups should be fine either way.
Then if you apply the filesystem and kernel files from 2.3.4 and they don't work you should be able to revert (I would assume, I can certainly flash back and forth on mine). I would *think* the kernel supports vanilla hardware + CDMA additionally (i.e. you don't need it, but it doesn't hurt), but may be fine.
But again, unless you're prepared to take the risk, I cannot say for sure, you can wait and see if anyone else chimes in, but that's my take.

Lol thanks... I guess if someone has the time and patience to try it and it works then please let the rest of us p1010 owners know
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I have the P1010 also and from what I've heard, the two models (P1010 and P1000) have different hardware which makes the latter model possible for the ginger update while ours likely will never get it.
Enjoy it for what it is. That's all I can say.

No offence but you are the one who was rude by bumping your topic after 2 hours and also accusing people who didnt answer as not courteous, so obviously you are going to get criticism.
Your problem is that you cant be bothered to go read or search and expect people to jump on your topic and bring all the info to you. This is XDA-developers, not tech support, try and at least help yourself first before demanding answers.
If anyone tests the spring gingerbread method and it works, please say so. xD Im too much of a coward to risk my tab.

You can save a flashable ROM in the sdcard. Then if the tab got bricked, you can insert the sdcard in and reflash again. But i don't recommend doing this because me myself never flashed my tab, only my nexus one.
Im notorious (as I imagine the majority of you good people are!), of getting a brand new phone, rooting it, and going crazy on new ROMS and tweaks etc.
So... What do you recommend? Im coming direct from little bro GS2 running resurrection Remix JB.
Very excited to be moving into the GS3 forums!!!
WHOOP!

Welcome to the world of S3!
The forums for the i9305 are a ghost town compared to the S2 forums but hopefully that will change.
The most important thing to do when you get your shiney new device, before flashing anything is follow the steps in this thread to back up your EFS (It's quite different to the S2, as the i9305 uses the Qualcomm 4G modem)
Once you have backed up your EFS, rooted and made a Nandroid backup you can have fun flashing and trying out ROMs
Enjoy!

Thanks for that. I would have gone ahem 'balls deep' before I realised that I needed to back up anything like that. I certainly didnt do it on the GS2!!!
Anyhow, heres hoping ROM's start coming think and fast for the GS3 4G!
BTW, recommendations of top ROMS, or are the normal GS3 rom incompatible with the 4G model due to the radio?
:good:

You still need to backup EFS on the S2 but it's a much simpler process. 9 times out of 10 you won't need to use your EFS backup but sometime flashing can corrupt the EFS partition and then you have an expensive paperweight. Only way to fix it is off to the service centre.
So as a precaution I always backup EFS before playing with my device
The ROMS for i9305 are in the i9305 development section. DO NOT flash i9300 ROMs!
The partitions are different on the i9305 as well as the radio so flashing a i9300 could damage your phone.
Stick to the i9305 forums and you'll be fine
I have a Galaxy Ace 2(GT-I8160), and remember when I was trying new roms, a few of them offered a patch, that was switching the internal USB memory(where everything goes) with the External SD card(which is usable only for music, photos and downloads). Now a friend of mine has the same issues that the memory gets filled in magical way and there is nothing left to do except maybe to restore factory defaults(which is annoying IMO). So I am asking is there any sort of trick which could be used to achieve the same result, and use the 8gig SD card as a internal memory?
The phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace (Three UK) more info could be provided later today.
The best scenario is without flashing, rooting is an option, but not recommended(my friend is a bit stuck on technology ) I would appreciate if the procedure does not require manual partitioning of the SD Card and as a must, not to require a ROM.
This is my first post on the XDA, so don't get hard on me.
wrong section :/ >_<

HI, CronoMod seems to have a universal way to do it ("CronMod INT2EXT scripts are the first universal INT2EXT method released") however I didnt tried on another phone besides the 5830.
You've better ask in CronMod thread

Ive never even heard of that site. i just looked and the closest i can find is G7102.

thank you for the reply though. ill try to download another firmware close to mine and try to pull the apks from them
not trying to double post but...
I would still like a sysrem image for this version of the s3 mini so i can make sure everything is back in place so when i take it to the verizon store there arent any discrepancies because i heard on another post in these forums that flashing the original stock rom does not trigger the flash counter
im begging someone to help. i need this so i can return this phone to get the verizon HTC One

Last I heard, this model phone was unflashable since Verizon decided to lock all the bootloaders on it.. No one can seem to turn off the write protect... I've been keeping my eye out for a month now for some way to flash this thing, but nothing takes...

By the way I'm sick of download payment sites. In next months Im investing a FULL STORAGE CAPACITY DEDICATED TO TORRENT FOR SAMSUNG, LG, HTC, you name it! All Files Accepted & FULL SHARE FOR Freeeeeeeeeee!!!!
joel: idk why the post disappeared after i logged in but thank you for the link to the stock rom. i stupidly removed some stock apps and bloatware without creating an update.zip in T B nor did i have a proper backup cuz i havent found a custom recovery yet . im downloading now will post on how the flash goes.
to the person that gave info on where to place the period and remove spaces thank you. you may have saved hours of frustration. i recognized the space between dropbox and com but may have taken a while to see the space in rev00.
