[Q] [GSM] Optus - Galaxy Tab Factory Restore

Hey everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Overcome 1.6.3
I've been having an issue with it overheating and turning itself off (nothing to do with the custom ROM, was doing it before, I was hoping the custom ROM would fix it but it didn't).
I rang Samsung about it and they told me to take it back to where I bought and get them to send it in to me.
My issue is that as soon as they see that it's running a Custom ROM they'll send it straight back to me!
Basically I'm trying to work out the Optus Factory ROM / Modem / PITT files so I can put the correct files back on using ODIN.
Does anyone have a stock Optus Galaxy Tab they can give me all the info for?
PDA: ?
PHONE: ?
CSC: ?
Model Number: ?
Firmware Version: ?
Kernal Version: ?
Build Number: ?
Thanks,
Mitchell !

Thanks, hadn't seen that.
Will move the question

the firmware my tab came with was JJ4, but when I got it back from repair it came with JMA, so it is hard to say what you should have

Thanks!
I ended up ringing one of the stores and asking them to read me out all the numbers off the Display model (figured it had never been updated).
It is as follows:
PDA: P1000XWJJ4
PHONE: P1000XXJID
CSC: P1000OPSJJ3
I was able to get the PDA + PHONE default files, but I could only get a default CSC file (SERJJ2) because no one had posted the Optus CSC file.
I'm restoring it all now, will let you know how it goes, cheers !

Hi there,
Did you get it working?
I am trying to restore my optus galaxy tab using odin as well, its a nightmare!
I also have the first two files (and not the csc file), but dont know how to do it.
I have the gt-p1000_mr.pit file loaded in odin along with the PDA and phone one (P1000XWJJ4 & P1000XXJID). I have the three boxes ticked, auto reboot, repartition, f. reset time etc. then i press start. It updates for a while then fails near the end. What am I doing wrong? Is it because i dont have the csc file or is there a certain order to do things?

By the way this link doesn't work

Hey, yep I did end up getting it fixed !
Just at work at the moment but I'll post detailed instructions when I get home !

Awesome! This little saga is almost making me consider splashing out and going ipad, but I am being patient. I think theres a learning curve and then all will be good no? or have you got rid of yours since haha

All is good
I ended up finding teamovercome.net and installed their ROM which Im happy with so far. No optus stuff which is a plus

Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. The time zone difference thing over here is still messing with my head. Glad to hear you got it all sorted. I had a look back through all of my stuff and like an idiot I don't have anything saved any more, but oh well.
Haven't gotten rid of mine, but haven't touched it for about a month and a half, since moving over to the US, and not wanting to pay for a SIM card for it.

which version rom are using from overcome and is there any problems with using it on the optus network

Help - Can't find firmware!

Hi everyone,
There is no firmware for my phone on the internet as far as I can tell. I don't know why the ridiculous rooting / flashing guide I used for Cyanogenmod 7 didn't tell me to backup first, I'm new to this and now I don't have a ROM that I can use to return the phone for replacement.
You see the wifi is very weak on mine and gets 0-2 (0 drops connection) bars from the router, whereas my old crappy phone and laptop get 5 bars from the same spot, also when I hold the phone the bars drop due to covering the wifi sensor or something. It's ridiculous, I need wifi.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Mini
Model: S5570XWKS3
Country: New Zealand
Product Code: GT-S5570AAAVNZ
No stock firmware exists on the internet for mine! What do I do?
And does anyone else have the issue with wifi on a samsung galaxy mini?
Also; is the firmware what I use to replace clockworkmod and then after putting that on I do a factory reset and it'll go back to stock rather than Cyanogenmod?
Thank you
Edit: Wanted to mention that check fus downoader does not work, it doesn't give me the csc or pda and mmi codes do not work.

Doesn't exist there either

Tried to find something, seems that XWKS3 is a firmware for Galaxy Ace...are you sure you got the codes right? I think that your firmware might be one of the UK ones, with multi-CSC. Then you just change the CSC with a code in the dialer.
When you flash a stock FW with Odin, everything should be stock again, including the recovery.

[Q] Flashing a I9305T rom onto a I9305 S3

Hi guys,
I bought a I9305 from Kogan which is a Hong King version. I use a Telstra network and the phone looses connection to the network intermittently and signal reception does not seem to be up to scratch. I'm comparing this to my iPhone 4 which never did this.. This is my first android smartphone so I have no idea on how to do anything to be honest. I love the phone but the network connection instability is really annoying.
I have a two part question:
1. Is anyone else in the same situation and if you fixed it what did you do.
2. Could I flash the phone with the I9305T ROM or would you suggest only flashing the modem software??
Please help...

Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010116 and try one of the 2 telstra modems for I9305T

Nahh the phone has not been changed in any way.. I was thinking of doing that but I can not find any information if that was done before and it would work. Lots of people flash their I9305T with international rom but not the other way around.. I don't want to brake the phone?..

You can flash any I9305 ROM on to your phone. The T bit is just some added carrier bloatware. You will most likely et much better connectivity using a Telstra specific modem. So really your choices are to root and flash just the modem or to flash the official Telstra ROM. I don't like the official versions because they add so many useless apps that you don't need

For all others that come across the same situation.
Yes you can flash the Telstra software on the I9305. I did it to mine and so far everything forks fine. Signal strength is great as expected and I have not experiences the network drop-outs since the flash.
The phone now lists it as a GT-I9305T.

Are you paying for a 4g plan or just regular 3g like me?
I get drop of net but i fixed it easily by going to Settings -》More options -》Network settings -》Networke mode.
And changed it to Wcdma only or auto. Shoose what ever mode that dont have lte in it.
Im a little bit unsure about the menu names cous I translated it from swedish.

Did you end up flashing a GT-I9305T modem? Did it work? If you just flashed a stock rom and you don't know, you can find out by typing *#1234# in the dialer, if it says I9305T under CP then you have flashed an I9305T modem.

Hey bud, which Firmware/Modem did you use? I checked http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ for the official download and telstra wasn't listed there, as I'm having the exact same problems as you with a HK handset on telstra. I'm so close to just flicking this handset because of it.

You have to select I9305T as your phone model and than the telstra version will be available. However I might have to add that after I posted yesterday that same afternoon the phone dropped of the network completely as it used to do before and the restart was required to get it up and running good again. I will give it a few more days to see if it does it again.
I was holding the phone in the way that 3 sides were completely covered by hands so I'm unsure if this is what caused the loss of connection. I think a thread about this would be good to see how many people with the same phone are having this issue.

Ok, so I flashed the telstra I9305T firmware, probably worse than before.
So when I bought my phone in HK it came sealed in a French (Orange Network) Box with a euro wall plug. I thought it was a bit strange but didn't bother me, tho the handset had HK firmware and CSC. So I thought why not and downloaded the france Orange 4.1.2 firmware from samfirmware and flashed it with Odin. And funnily enough so far its been brilliant on telstra and its jellybean 4.1.2 so its got multi-window etc, I get way better 4G coverage and speeds and no drop outs. So far so good! im stoked. It has minimal bloatware - like 2-3 apps, And it even fixed another bug I had previously had on the HK firmware where I used swiftkey keyboard then after every reboot it would default back to Samsung Chinese IME keyboard.

Hi there.
Sorry to bother you but I was just wondering where you downloaded your
Telstra rom? Cause I have tried a couple that's already out there
But no success and yours sounds like the perfect rom for telstra 4g phone.
Could you please help me out I would really appreciate it .
Thank you .

Ok I have a question which will probably blow your mind out of the water.... I have the I9305T model and have been playing around and flashed I9305 firmware on the device in order to flash JB 4.3 on my device. It has become a bit unstable. How could I revert back to the I9305T config? I have tried flashing that firmware but it is a no go. I keep getting the Unsupported Version error
I have tried emergency recovery in KIES and I have tried flashing with Odin.
Any way I can revert back to the old? I used to run 4.1.2 on the device

Help with installing suitable rom GT-19305T
I am trying to fix a GT-19305t by flashing.
From the beginning
The battery started to fail. Bought a new battery and after charging and starting up the phone refused to work. I managed to get it in recovery menu after looking online.
I have tried using odin to fix. I did get a pass green message when i tried but the phone still wont work . It starts but just says in download mode do not switch off etc.
Whats confusing me a bit is that this is a Vodafone phone not telstra so how come it has the T at the end. This makes me wonder if I used the incorrect rom.
Any help please I have tried about forty hours of research and trial so far.
exhausted
I have specific questions
1 What is a good rom to use (I have searched for tens of hours and keep going in circles.) Also when I have unzipped some there is no recognisable file for Odin to use?
2 Am I doing the process correctly. it seems straightforward.
Dan

Which ROM have you flashed? After you have flashed the ROM via odin you have to boot into recovery, do a factory reset and then restart the phone. Then it should boot up fine.
What zips are you talking about? Sounds more like you downloaded custom roms, which are zips but they are flashed via a custom recovery.

[Q] Changing 3G frequency band

I have bought a GT-I8190 (Unbranded/Unlocked) in Spain, which operates in 3G frequency band 900/1900/2100. The problem is that I live in Argentina, and here the 3G frequency is 850Hz. I would like to know if there is any hardware limitiation for the 3G frequency band or is just a firmware limitation. I've read that flashing a latinamerican modem (I8190L version) may solve the problem. Has anyone try this? What can I do?
Please let me know, cause i'm tired of dealing with EDGE.
Sorry for my english, i speak spanish.
Thank you!

I dont know about hardware differences, if there is any.
You could try to extract modem.bin from i8190L firmware and put it a .tar and flash with odin, but i'm not sure thats enough.
There's also a service menu if you type * # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # *
This is for SGS, but I think menus are quite similar.

I don't think there is a chance of bricking it by changing modem. I've done it on my P7500 tab and my galaxy wonder without crying.
Question is if Odin will let it pass, and if so, maybe you'll also need to flash cache.img to get the "sec_csc.zip" for csc code and apn settings to be correct set in system. Not sure..
Edit: Seems like odin fails on modem.

I8190 Problem
Hey people,
Got the same problem here, did not see the difference between the I8190 and the I8190L and now I´m dealing with the problem of being connected only in EDGE, dou you guys already solved the problem???
If´s that so, please let us know.

Same problem here
I have excactly the same problem. Got a GT-I8190N, and here they use 850mhz :crying:
have searched every corner of the web, but havent found a solution. If anyone manages to make these things use 850mhz band PLEASE tell us how you did it.

Tried but failed
Fon anyone interested, i flashed GT-I8190N my phone using a GT-I8190L firmware for my country / operator, and i was still unable to use 3G internet. only Edge.
The phone worked fine in all other aspects (except the NFC feature was gone of course), but still no 3G. i guess the bands are not only determined by software, but also by hardware.
By now i guess its safe (for me) to say, i will have to learn to live with Edge, or get another phone. :crying:

Yes, actually that was the first thing i tried.
I downloaded the Whole firmware for the GT-I8190L for my local operator (MX Telcel), then i extracted the modem .bin file from it, and in odin i flashed it to the phone.
Phone worked fine, but still only edge.
So i decided to flash the whole firmware just in case, did so with odin, when my phone restarted i had the cheesy, bloated, horrible load animation my POS operator forces on all its phone, but still i was only able to use edge. no 3g.
Went to the phone service menu (if thats what its called?) dialing *#0011# then using the BACK menu option ->network -> etc. and still the 850mhz band option was missing. only got 900mhz (same as before).
At this point i was now stucked with the extra-extra-extra crappy logos and tons of crapware my provider installs on the phones, still without 3g, and all the NFC setting options dissapeared on the settings menu, but otherwise the phone was not bricked at all, it worked fine
So i downloaded this unbranded firmware:
Edit: (xda wont let me put the link, but its an unbranded firmware called I8190NXXAMD3_I8190NOXAAMD3_DBT)
wich is for the GT-I8190N version (not L), flashed it with odin, and now my phone is back to the way it was, i have my NFC settings back, got rid of ALL operator logos and bloatwares (now i only see the nice samsung animation on boot), and everything is working fine.
Except for 3G of course, im still stuck on EDGE.

Thanks alot for your answer. Now we know for sure it's based on hardware.

Sorry for bringing up this old thread..
Does anyone know if there is a way of replacing the phone's internal antenna/modem to adequate it to the 850mhz network? It'd be cheaper than buying a new phone..

I need help please

First i know i'm an idiot, i thought i knew what i was doing but i had no idea, i figured how hard could it be I've rooted a G1 and a Droid Eris.... but alas i was way over my head.
I have a Note 9 from KSA (Saudi Arabia) i'm a contractor there and it was way cheaper than buy in the states plus a dual sim variant. i tried flashing to the Detonator T-mobile rom, and now i'm left with a phone i can not use, I did not create a partition, i have backup all my personal data, but the original firmware is in the ether. I flashed what i thought was a dual sim international firmware, but all it did network lock my phone so god knows what international network, since neither my T-mobile or STC sim work in it. On top of that even though it has a "stock firmware" it's still rooted so knox has been triggered and even if my sim's worked all Knox linked programs wont work.
So what i need from you fine Ladies' and Gentlemen is a solution to get it as close to the stock version as possible, at this point dual sim functionality or the Wifi calling i was trying to flash on to it are second to having the phone function as a proper note 9 again. IF anyone has the stock firmware or knows of a place where i can get the original firmware, no i'm not asking for hacked version, yes i'm willing to pay for it as long as it works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I know that Samsung devices purchased in the UAE are partitioned differently than those purchased in the rest of the world. I would recommend that you repartition the storage in your device and reinstall the stock OS back onto it again. That should resolve yoru issue. I don't know how to do this. Maybe somebody else can chime in a help you out.

do you by chance know where the Partition would be because i had not had any luck locating it. or the firmware for that specific region.
