[Q] Just Bought a Used Tab, Where To Start?

My wife decided that she wanted a Galaxy Tab and eventually found one at a decent price. It showed up today and is in great condition and appears to be running a stock ROM. I have a few questions about it and I figured I could get some help here.
It is a CDMA Tab that was subsidized by U.S. Cellular. We don't have that provider locally and I was wondering if it would be compatible with another carrier. My wife doesn't care if it isn't though, she only wanted it for WiFi around the house.
Also, is there any major differences with the U.S. Cellular version that I should know about going in before I drop a ROM on it? And for that matter can anyone recommend a ROM? Thanks in advance for the help.
More info (If you need it):
Hardware Version: SCH-I800.0.3
Baseband: S:I800.0.3.DJ29

Mate, try the developement section... The roms are there, incuding the gingerbread update, you should find all the info you need there but please read the threads...
Read, read and if you can't find any info, read some more then ask questions...
You'll get a lot more help if you show you have read up a bit... Check out the overcome thread for his guide to flashing, there's also some others around, generally for gingerbread, that are helpful...
Cheers...

Looking to try my hand at developing a rom for the cappy

I know its a little late with developing something for this almost dead device but with mine sitting around I figured I'd give it a shot and see what I can do. So can someone recommend to me a good tutorial that I can read up to get started with? Preferably noob friendly and also if possible uses a captivate in the tutorial to help with following along.
Thanks!

no tutorial around you have to have the knowledge to do it.

there are a few tutorials all over xda, android general is some help, but would stick with samsung galaxy forums for more samsung specific info, unless you want to develop ICS roms, then look into Android general for ASOP info.

check out the stickies in each thread.

[Q] Brick.

Hello,
I know this might've been answered atleast a dozen times, but I'm seriously in a hurry and I need a reply, fast or advanced, the situation is seen from the title, however, as I will explain it here, I'd like to mention that I did search and try everything. however none have worked, and I'm seeking professional and or novice help from someone who understands technology.
I have a Galaxy tab, P1010 (wifi only), I've dug with it around, it's sort of new, still got the warranty, to the point, I think it's bricked.
It's giving me the picture of the phone being unable to connect to the PC. (Warning sign in between them, bet most of you know how it looks like eitherway).
Is this really critical, or is there a way to fix it? And I'd like to ask whether someone could help me find some stock firmware, for the EU tab?
That's pretty much all summed up, don't shoot me too hard if I posted this in the wrong forum or this is already overasked,
thanks.

This is not a problem, this screen is still a download screen. You need to restock, flashing will still work. However, this is not a forum for the P1010, it's for the P1000, you need to ask again in a P1010 forum, they should be able to help you.

ableeker,
I think this is the forum for P1010 too
but there aren't that many P1010 devs and users around.

Thanks for all the help, I've decided to fix it today and it worked perfect, simply putting 2.2.1 worked.
Since it's risky, I'll try upgrading to gingerbread after my girlfriend is back from a trip with it... I hope it works well and won't brick (seriously this time).
Thanks again, and bye.

[Q] Galaxy S

Good Evening:
This is my first time and first post here. I've gotten pretty frustrated and am hoping someone can help me out? I have a Galaxy S phone, model number SHW-110S; firmware: 2..2; kernel: 2.6.32.9; build version: FroYo.SK22. I've been all over the net and can't seem to get the users manual specific to this particular phone. So, I have a number of questions? Let's start with this one: where can I get/download a users manual specific to this phone? If it becomes too difficult to find, then my next question would be: Can I upgrade this phones O.S.? Now, there are still many more questions, but I think that's enough to get started in the right direction.
Thank You:
Rick

Hi, ive been lurking a long time and I believe that your model of the Galaxy is a Korean version.
I found this page about turning the SHW-110S into an I9000 model. I can't post the link since i have less than 10 posts so just look up Turn SHW-110S to GT-I9000 (Samsung Galaxy S) on Google
I hope it can help you in some way. :good:

Maybe it helps asking your question in the galaxy s q&a subforum

REPLY TO kishagi:
Afternoon kishagi:
You are correct; it is a Korean make/model. It was with great interest that I read you reply. NO ONE has suggested this maneuver. And keeping with that theme, would it not be best just to upgrade the O.S? As far as I can tell, I can go only as far as Honeycomb 2,3,6(?). Now, should I option for this upgrade, I wonder if I'd be able to activate the FM/TV receiver in the phone? I've done a LOT of searching and believe I've found the answer to the FM question. That is to install a widget called simply "Galaxy S radio widget". However, it seems that widget is defunct(?). So, could you suggest another widget that is comparable and compatible with this phone? And would you know if I'd upgrade whether this widget would still operate in Honeycomb? THANX for responding and my apologies for taking so long to reply!
STAY SHARP:

ADDENDUM: This has got to be THE most frustrating forums/site I've ever been in!!!! Once you login, just trying to get back to this forum/subforum is a nightmare!! I'm also extremely disappointed by the lack of response/lack of knowledge this supposedly "special forum" delivers. Read the "into" to this forum, it clearly deceives anyone that comes to this forum into thinking their phones issues might be solved. I've not only had so much difficult in trying to start/post a "thread" (hell, most of the time I can't even find the "icon" to tik), once I login, I have one hell of a time even finding/getting into this subforum. I'm not getting/receiving responses to my questions. Clearly, there was no one devoting "'special" attention/service" to this forum as stated in the introduction. IF I find where to unsubscribe I will certainly do so. TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS FORUM: You and this supposed forum are a sad joke and a complete waste of time and space.!!!!!

Is Anyone Currently Working On A G870A OF2/3 Root?

Is anyone currently working on a G870A OF2/3 root?
I know this question has been asked a lot around here in the past year, but they all dead end with useless information. So, I'm asking again on the 14th of December 2015; Is there anyone working on a root for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (SM-G870A) after the of2/3 ota update. Also, I've seen a lot of answers to the question of weather my device can be downgraded and they've been all over the place. I'm sorry if there is a bit of repetition but there has been too much confusion on this subject and I'm looking for clarification. If I've broken any rules without realizing then please let me know. Thanks.
EDIT: With a little more research I was able to clear up my second question, but my first still stands: Is anyone working on a root for the SM-G870A and can you point me in the direction of a blog so I'm not hanging so far off the edge of my seat waiting for it.
