[Q] First steps after buying the I9070 - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've finally got my hands on the Galaxy S Advance!
I'm trying to read the threads here to understand what it's available... anybody can help me with some links/info?
What's the best method to root the phone?
How to upgrade it to JB?
Better to root the phone before or after the JB upgrade?
Tx a lot.

As a senior member when I saw the topic I thought it was a tutorial for beginners.
Hmm ... best method is to upgrade to JB. After read our forum and find what you want.

newest JB version is russian: I9070XXLQ4
previous one was: I9070XXLPZ
you can download it from samfirmware.com and flash with odin.
I guess you might have root / custom kernel on your phone and that is main reason for those errors.

I found that article.
That's the normal way to flash the phone.
If you are experienced and confident than go for it.
But you can find better and detail guides here on XDA.
That is not recommended for new user. Please READ, READ, READ before doing anything.

Hi Nadimpalli so right now u r in stock gingerbread naa...
if u r unable to update your note via kies just download N7000DDLP8 INU and flash it via odin in your note it is the best way...
see Dr.Ketan's tutorial ....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667018

[Q] Can I flash a P1000 rom to a SHW-M180S Korea Galaxy TAB? & other questions

Hello,
Recently I get a SHW-M180S Korean Galaxy TAB. It work like a charm but I need extra features and a good custom rom.
I did a lot of research, even in korean forums, but I can't get much info on how to root and install roms.
- First problem is rooting. I know Froyo 2.2 is easily rooteable but I have an:
Android 2.3.6
Kernel version 2.6.35.7
Build number GINGERBREAD.UC27
Wich is imposibble for me to root. I've tryed SuperOneClickv2.3 and DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit with no luck and a few other with the same result. I know for sure it's related to Gingerbread 2.3.6 and didn't find a tool or tutorial on how to root it.​
-Second is the rom change. I know that there are a few posts asking for this, but, I didn't find a clear and concise response to:
can I flash a rom for a TAB P1000 to a SHW-M180S???​
I hope that some one can answer me or at least guide me in the correct direction because all the info I found about it finish on a dead end. At least for my Gingerbread 2.3.6
Thanks is advance...
Hi.
No one?

I reply my self afer days of digging around and risking my TAB in to a brick.
I've found a rom that is the last one developed for the SHW-M180S (Android 2.3.6 UC27) but rooted.
I have flashed it with Odin 1.85 wich is the one known to work well with this device. Everything goes well and now I have a rooted TAB. Here is the link to download it.
http://rapidlibrary.com/source.php?file=ulcm8efvyti89on&sec=eea10ad4
Now I want to go further and have a compatible and working custom recovery but I don't know which can work, so please, I need some one to guide me!!
Of course, I want also to have ICS and I have also foun a ICS rom for this device but I dare not flash it without warranties.
so if some one knows how to do it or at least a korean forum where I can find info, I'll be realy pleased.

My friend also asked help for his Korean model.
Anybody tried Custom recovery or root?
Does Normal Tab's Recovery and root will work for this mobile?
why not try CyanogenMod 9.1 for tab p1000

i'm downloading the Rom you mentioned i'll try P1000 CWM update then try ICS rom
see you after a while
Today i try flash my M180S with P1000XEJQ8 and TAB die, only the light when i try power on.
After flash (use odin) with HOME_M180S.TE23.1719_CL227119_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5, it hanging on the "Galaxy tab". I do wipe and try reflash again, but same.
How repair TAB?
Hi.
I`m very pleased that we have some responses in this thread. Keep on testing guys so we can have more info on this specific samsung model
To Abzal:
As I have said in a few posts above, you soud try to install UC27 to fix the tablet. Here is the link http://rapidlibrary.com/source.php?file=ulcm8efvyti89on&sec=eea10ad4
Put the tab in downlod mode and flash with odin1.85
Good luck

I meant backup your internal storage , photos , videos and other stuff not asked you to make a nandroid backup. you can flash the kernel but it does not make nandroid backup so you just have to deal with it. if you can't factory reset before flashing you can do it after flashing.
I have provided you the original thread link . you should read all the stuff there. i can only help you if something goes wrong. by the way you always can flash stock firmware.
here is the stable High resolution 2.3.6 stock version.

why you are on 2.1???official update is released since ages..just update to 2.3.6 and then follow the same.
this two steps done very carefully
1 when you connect yor phone to odin in download mode the yellow light will be blinked in id:com.
2 put kernel file in PDA only
3 uncheck re partition and just click your device will be rooted enjoy.

just go in settings and then navigate to software and in that there is "check for updates"
one advice: get some basic information regarding rooting,recovery,kernel etc....i root my phone after doing research for month and then i proceed.here in XDA lots of information available very easily just go through posts and forums.read and re-read then proceed.
if u do something wrong we are here to help you but make sure you know what you are doing.

Then the best advice I have for you: do not root your device. Dr. Ketan's instructions are simple and straightforward.
If you can't follow them then rooting and changing your device isn't a good thing to do.
Jesus, there are soooo many of these types of threads atm... Read people read!
