Hi all. Couldn't find any posts about this specific problem so here goes:
I'm trying to CM10 on the following device:
Model number: GT-P1000R
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000RUXKG1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UXKG1
I've rooted the device with CF-Root v3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734, CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip) which installs CWM 3.0.0.5. When I reboot in CWM Recovery mode and try to flash the zip, I get the following error:
assert failed: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxytab" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P1000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P1000");

I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada).
P1000R is just a normal P1000 (M or R, plain P1000)
I have not tried but I am sure CM10 need CM9 first.

Seeking help flashing my SGT P-1000R
"I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada)."
I have had the same difficulty flashing the rom for my GT-P1000R, as most roms are designed for the generic GT-P1000 and upon flashing check for the version and stop because ours is specific to Rogers. Exactly what did you do to modify the updater-script and what is the file called in rom ZIP package?
To be honest, ever since I was foolish enough to upgrade to Gingerbread earlier this year I have regretted it, as my Bluetooth no longer works with my HID keyboard. As I believe in going forward is best, I am looking to upgrade to ICS, but as a last resort going back to Froyo (if I can find it) would get me back the functionality I lost.
I would appreciate any help you can provide as I have scoured the net and found very little that deals specifically with our version (GT-P1000R) of the SGT.

Perhaps, but every time I try to flash a rom made for a P1000, the install fails indicating in the error message that it has detected my tablet as being a SGT P1000R, hence my original inquiry. I am sure it is simply a question of updating a config file to fool the installer, but which one?

Thank you for the links to the Overcome method, and I now have successfully upgraded my former SGT P1000R, Android 2.3.3, to a SGT P1000, Android 2.3.6 - A significant improvement indeed! Unfortunately my test to see if my Bluetooth HID keyboard works with my new and improved SGT came up short - Will pair, but not connect.
After doing some research and coming to the sad conclusion that only an upgrade to ICS will do to get the aforementioned functionality to work, I tried AKOB and CM9 upgrades, following the instructions available. Each and every time I tried the upgrade, the tablet went into an endless loop of reboots indicating an error, which was displayed too quickly to read. I ended up having to restart the Overcome process again to salvage things.
Alas it is late and my quest to get ICS installed on my tablet (unless someone can tell me how to get a connection to my Bluetooth HID keyboard in 2.3.6) will wait for another day. Thanks anyway for the help.

IIRC the endless boot loop is due to the install process complaining that it couldn't find some partitions. When you get to that point you should just reboot to recovery and install the zip again for the 2nd time and it should work then.
I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:
Which files for GT-P1000R running on GB2.3.3?

Hi! First of all, thanks for all this information! I Also have a GT-P1000R (Rogers) running on the same gingerbread version UXKG1 and rooted with the original thread. So, literally, my tab is in the EXACT situation from the original thread. I am assuming that in order to flash any custom ROM's, i need my tablet to be recognized as a GT-P1000 . I am reading the manual, and i am wondering which modem to use. Or do I just need to do an update considering I am already running Gingerbread 2.3.3 ? My overall goal is to have my tablet recognized as a GT-P1000 (not with the r) and eventually upgrade to ICS or higher, also for the primary reason of using a bluetooth (hid supported) keyboard...among other things.
I am familiary with Odin and these instructions are great, I am just slightly unclear what to do in the case of already being on gingerbread 2.3.3, but working with a GT-P1000r. Thank you in advance for your help!

I also posted this above to another reply, but am worried it will get missed.
I have the same table you do (GT-P1000R) with Rogers, and it was rooted with the same file you used in this original thread on UXKG1.
Do you recall if you just had to do an update with overcome (since you were also running 2.3.3 , UXKG1 as per your first post) , or did you do a complete overhaul.
If you had to do the entire process, which modem did you use? these are the options given...
-GSM based GT-P1000 Tab (Asia, Europe, Middle East, Occeania/Africa, rest of world, etc..) : use JPZ MODEM
-North American T-Mobile Tab user: use T-Mobile Modem
-AT&T (USA), Tel Cel , etc - use JK3 modem.
I am assuming i would use the NA Tmobile based, considering Rogers is Canada's 'sister company' to T-Mobile? but i want to be sure...
Thanks for the help..as you know..there isn't a lot of info on GT-P1000R version..
Not quite.
Rogers is using 850/1900 MHz , the same as AT&T USA
the term NA T-Mobile there is to differentiate that with the UK T-Mobile, which use the usual European frequency.
so At&T modem ?

Awesome..thanks for clarifying. JUST in case...I will Clarify then that I should use the A&T , etc modem version? Any other tips I should be aware of ...as I am working with a rogers version? Thanks.
Yes, use AT&T modem.
No other tips regarding special treatment, they are identical to normal P1000 except that the modem radio is made to work on 850MHz for the 3G part.
Anything you read about P1000 here applies equally to a P1000R
And you can use the Overcome method to get yourself a CWM recovery to flash ICS.
The link to its latest files and guide is in my signature.
If you are prepared to wipe out everything and start fresh.
Get the GB-stock-safe-v5 package (it has rom, odin, windows drivers, modem files)
and the PDF (read from page 7 onward)
and the Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar format.
Only the kernel, you don't need the Overcome Series 7 rom, if your eventual target is ICS.
Once you completed the step of flashing the kernel, you can reboot to CWM recovery and use that to flash ICS/JB, then its corresponding gapps, and you are done.
Last question...(i hope)

This might sound dumb - but because i've boot looped my galaxy s I9000m before (that STUPID m at the end...just like the r for my tab..) .. i want to make sure what exactly will be happening. I am familiar with Odin and flashing kernels, not so much modems...
My end goal is to EVENTUALLY flash ICS or J/B , but i haven't thought that far as to which one to go with, etc..so i might not do that part for another week or so -whenever i have time.
If i only do the instructions you gave me (for the rom, odin , etc) and the kernel, my tab should be all good to still use in the mean time, until i decide to flash ICS or JB?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.... I appreciate the assistance, and will be giving 'likes' and donations for SURE for all the help.
Yes, the guide is for Overcome Rom which is stock Samsung based gingerbread Rom.
The look is very closed to stock, but the kernel is improved.
Many are happy with just running it.

I am sorry, but as I read the thread through some more...i am still a bit confused of a couple of things. I know this is really probably a simple process...but bricking my tablet is the last thing i want to do.
Answers to the following would be so helpful:
1) Do I need to install the modem? I am currently on GB 2.3.3 unlocked and rooted. My tablet and root information is the same as the original thread. It is rooted with
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384 . I have not installed a modem before..so not exactly sure when/why this should be done and when it is not necessary to. - or do i ONLY need to go into odin and flash the kernel and rom. I am trying to get my tablet to be recognized as just GT-P1000 not with the r. It is the modem that will change how my tablet is recognized?
2) Do I need to insert a SIM card when I flash Overcome modem (if necessary) and kernel and Rom?
I do have a SIM card capable tablet, but I dont actually have a sim card for it. I use WIFI - and tether it from my phone if i need to. My service provider in Canada, Sasktel, blocks SIm cards from being able to use it in more than one device at a time (lame I know) , so buying a SIM card and not using the radio doesn't make sense. that being said , I DO want to be able to use the radio with a SIM card if i need to, like when I travel overseas and purchase one for their carriers.
Thanks again!
Your current rooting method leave your tab as P1000R, that is why I recommended overcome from scratch.
And I didn't know you are rooted and have cwm
Modem is for mobile network.
Wen you flash with Odin "repartition" , your modem will be wiped out.
A modem is required.
if you never use mobile function, any modem will do.
Remember being P1000R, if you are overseas other than with USA at&t, you only get 2G.
In Europe and Asia the UMTS freq is 2100Mhz and your tab is incapable of doing that.
You not need SIM to flash overcome.
Since you have cwm, you can just flash overcome ROM series 7 from cwm. Try that.

There is a really good CM10 (JB) ROM: sapir-rom.blogspot dot com Sorry for this type of link, but I can't post links yet :$
I just just that, went into my already cwm and flashed the rom - must say...impressive! wifi works (connected to two devices for trial, as i've had issues with this in the past) and works great.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for the help on this. you answered sooo many helpful questions.
TBH - i love this ROM , and i would love to keep it as this. but it is does not have HID bluetooth compatibility. any plans for the future to have this available on this ROM?
MY GT-P1000R is now without the stupid "r" !
Hello!
I do not understand what the problem is, I've had my SGS for 2 years, been flashing it regularly from GB to JB and never had any problems.
I decided to upgrade my slimbean rom because I was getting a IMEI error message even though everything was working fine.
Reading in the forums I understand that flashing back to an official samsung firmware would recover my original IMEI.
Which I did and saved /efs.
Then through CWM recovery I flash the latest slimbean 4.2.1.
Everything goes fine.
But when I boot up I don't get prompted to unlock my sim. So I check in my phone and have "unknown" under baseband.
I've tried flashing just the modem.bin --> still modem doesn't appear.
I've tried reverting to my older ROM --> still modem doesn't appear.
I know I have the correct ROM for my phone, but I cannot figure out why my modem is not being taken into account.
The phone works perfectly under GB official firmware btw.
Anyone has any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Did you restore the /efs folder backup? or is there content in /efs.
Yep I copy back the /efs and no change.
I checked the imei file and it's identical to the backup one.
Size and permissions are also identical, which makes me think the problem is not coming from there.
Today I flashed the Cyanogen nightly and my phone works.
I liked better the slimbean ROM as it is incredibly fast for our lighter hardwared beloved SGS.
Well I found a solution. Not very clean but at least I got Slimbean ROM back on my phone.
CM10 is just soooooooooo incredibly slow on SGS it wasn't functional. 60 seconds wait to go from 1 screen to another. Camera getting stuck on a picture and had to wait 1 to 2 minutes for image to refresh...basically unusable.
So anyways I flashed clean to official GB stock ROM.
Then flashed CM10 ROM.
And then on top of CM10 I flashed Slimbean ROM. With ofc all the necessary wipes everytime.
This time the baseband was recognised.
I don't know what the pb is, but apparently you cannot flash from a GB stock ROM directly to Slimbean.
Cheers all!
Hi all,
This morning I tried to root my brother phone by using the "1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery.".
Link
After downloading the zip file, copied it onto the external sd card, I applied the update from external storage. Now, my brother phone won't boot.
I am here to visit and now my day is stuck trying to fix this.
Here are two things that I should have done in hind sight.
1. I should have backup his contact information.
2. I should have check his ROM versiion (i.e. ICS or Jelly Bean).
Now, the only thing that I can do is getting into "Philz Touch 5".
I could do backup and restore.
Here are two questions that I have.
1. Is there way I can backup the contact in "Philz Touch 5"? Is this include in the "data" backup.
2. Can recovery this back to previous unrooted "kernel" or origninal kernel.
It seemed that I can also run "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in Kies. It prompted me for the model and serial number and it asked whether I want to proceed. But that would wipe everything.
EDIT: I just tried KIES's "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and it failed. The pop up with a message in "square boxes". I guess it failed doing "Firmware Upgrade and Initialiation." :[
Please, any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Leapfrog.
Okay, I downloaded "N7000ZSLO2 N7000OZSLO2 - Taiwan" from here, installed it and got it back up and running too. Contact list is still remain intact. However, I am not sure it is the right ROM for US T-Mobile model because I got H+ and occasional 3G.
My brother said his is an international version. I am not sure if the correct for his phone.
Can someone please point me to the correct ROM for US T-mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000?
Thanks!!!!

1. Philz kernels are specific to rom version, so lp9 must be flashed with lp9 rom.
2. Goto settings about phone and double check the model number before you do anything else.
3. Urm, think the clue is is the rom title you downloaded (korea)! Go through Dr Ketan's thread and it outlines rom localities.

I have a SGS Captivate I have been using as a sports tracking device and as a music player for the past year. I now have a few questions before changing ROMs on it.
History >> Two years ago I soft bricked it while on CM9. Not being able to resurrect it at the time I purchased an SGS3 and set the Captivate aside for a while. I resurrected it using a KK4 Heimdall One-Click and immediately flashed it to CM10.1. Having been on CM10.1 for a number of months I upgraded the device to CM10.2. After doing so I noticed the bootloader was listed as unknown and the baseband was KG3. I have checked this in terminal emulator and using a "Samsung Info" app from the PlayStore. I've verified the KG3 modem is for the i9000. I checked in the updater-script of the CM10.2 I downloaded and installed and observed it being coded for captivate and for i897. So, I am not fearful that I downloaded the incorrect ROM.
I have known of the above discrepencies for months and have not been terribly concerned. I do not know if they could have something to do with the fact that I have not had a sim card in the phone since before I resurrected it. Even though I do not currently plan to use it as a phone I intend to have it in a condition to do so if needed. That, and I was interested in flashing a ROM I have seen recommended several times by @BWolf56, Gamerzrom Legend 4.0. The questions I have stem from the fact that I will be going from a ROM based on Android 4.3 to one based on 4.2.2.
To correct the bootloader and modem I intend to flash, again the KK4 stock ROM (Gingerbread). This will be with the Heimdall One-Click from the forums, Odin is not an option - I run Linux. Once installed I will verify bootloader and modem. Based on the Gamerzrom blog I will then install CM10.1 before installing their ROM. (This could be avoided if I were not going back to stock.) At each step I will wipe and format as indicated, I will probably wipe and format to excess.
[Q1] Is this the best approach to get to having the 4.2.2 based Gamerzrom installed from where I am?
[Q2] Should I not do this at all, the donwgrade, even to stock, could seriously damage my phone?
[Q1] Is there anyone who thinks I could safely shortcut the above by simply flashing the KK4 bootloader and modem?
(If I can still find a download on the forums.) This would eliminate going back to stock GB and then to CM10.1.
[Q2] Is there no reason to worry about the bootloader and modem? The discrepency is simply an artifact based on there being no sim card in the phone and I would be best off advancing directly to flashing Gamerzrom from CM10.2.1.

1: don't need to flash cm first but you do have to flash the ROM twice to repartition it then flash the gapps.
2: flashing stock should recover/fix your unknown bootloader issue but unless your imei is unknown, you shouldn't have any problem using as a phone if needed.
I do suggest flashing KK4 before going to GamerzROM to avoid any issues.

The imei is still present at least according to "Samsung Info" and using getprop in terminal emulator.
Okay, flash stock KK4 rom, no need to flash CM10.1, but flash Gamerzrom 4.0 twice.
I was getting CM10.1 from Gamerzrom 3.0 installation instructions for those coming from GB. I was thinking going back to KK4 would reset the partition scheme to GB. I guess the double flash of GLE4.0 takes care of the repartitioning back to JB layout.
Thank you.

Okay, flash stock KK4 rom, no need to flash CM10.1, but flash Gamerzrom 4.0 twice.
I was getting CM10.1 from Gamerzrom 3.0 installation instructions for those coming from GB. I was thinking going back to KK4 would reset the partition scheme to GB. I guess the double flash of GLE4.0 takes care of the repartitioning back to JB layout.
Thank you.

That's exactly it, whether you flash cm or gamerz twice, it will do the same thing and repartition. Just don't forget the gapps after.

Thanks, I wouldn't dare forget GAPPS.
In fact, I have already downloaded both GAPPS and the ROM -- that was about 6 hours ago. I probably will not flash until Monday. :{
You know, I am a bit surprised at how regularly posts are made to the Captivate forum. More often than I would have expected.

While it's an old device, it's really great and some of us keep supporting it
Mixed Results with increased understanding
Well I went through the process I outlined above, or tried to do so.
I downloaded a One-Click stock rom, android 2.3.5, from this thread. It is actually the same leaked stock rom I used two years ago. I flashed it twice per instructions to get the bootloader, doing so to correct my unknown bootloader issue. After this was installed I used a "Samsung Info" app to verify bootloader and modem. The modem was KK4, yet the bootloader was still unknown. I repeated the process twice more with the same results.
Rather than download a different stock GB rom I proceeded with the remainder of my plan. I flashed Gamerzrom Legend Edition 4.0 from here on the recommendation of @BWolf56. I wiped, formatted, and then flashed twice as he recommended. The ROM didn't boot, but not to worry I repeated the process. Still no boot. I next went ahead and flashed CM 10.1.3 and booted into it. The bootloader was still unknown and the modem was now listed as KG3, an i9000 modem, again. My guess is CM did this since this how it was listed before I went back to stock. I now went back to Gamerzrom and successfully flashed it. (Still showing bootloader unknown and modem as KG3.)
I am setting up the phone this evening. So far in addition to installing ROMs and adjusting settings I have verified wifi works. Later tonight I will be testing the GPS and bluetooth. With the "wrong" modem my results could be decremated, but I don't expect them to be. When I was previously on CM 10.1.3 and 10.2.1 and on the KG3 modem all worked. Bluetooth, wifi, and GPS worked that is, I didn't try calls because I wasn't using it as a phone and didn't have an appropriate sized sim to borrow.
If I need this device as a phone I will first try it as is with bootloader unknown and modem as KG3. If that doesn't work I will flash an i897 modem, probably the KK1 modem, and see how that works. If that doesn't do the trick I will try an earlier GB stock One-Click rom, either KK1 or KJ3.

Modem doesn't affect BT so it should be fine. It's odd that Gamerz didn't boot but glad it turned out fine. Also, having a different modem won't change anything about the bootloaders but that being said, I highly doubt it would stop you from using it as a phone.
You're seeing I9000 modems cause the ROMs were often built off the international version of the Captivate. Both I897 and I9000 work well on the device and you can flash whichever one gives you the best results in terms of networking (which you don't seem to be using anyway).

True, the kernel controls BT and wifi. I'm not sure why I was mentioning BT w/ modem.
I think I didn't organize my thoughts too well in that last paragraph. Closer to what I meant was that if needed as a phone I would try it as is >> unknown bootloader and KG3 modem. If I had any troubles with it working I would try a different modem. This is where I was erroneously thinking that the i9000 modem may turn be a problem. If that didn't fix it then I would go with another stock ROM to give another go at fixing the bootloader issue. I actually think/hope it would work as it currently is. The phone has repeatedly booted, so at least the sbl (?) secondary boot loader partition is intact.
BTW, the GPS seems to be working well, even though I have a 10/08 build device. Bluetooth, on the other hand, is not pairing with my Linux laptop nor a cheap bluetooth speaker. The same held true when I was on CM 10.2.1 with the cappy. Both, the laptop and speaker, pair with my SGS3.
Could the reason the Gamerzrom didn't flash straight off is that I was coming from a stock TouchWiz 2.3.5 rom instead of from any JB rom? Thank you for helping.

BT not working can be cause it wasn't updated in so long or kernel issue. Or could simply be that it doesn't work with your specific devices.
I flashed mine off stock KK4 (same one you flashed), tried to boot without flashing it twice, which of course didn't work but then went back in recovery, re-flashed and it booted just fine.
i9305 Imei shows null/null after flashing I9305XXUFNL1_DBTFNL1 which was a stock rom
Also no signal as you would guess
Now I cant even downgrade to any roms apart from 4.4.4.
Phoen is rooted and tried 4.1.1. I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5_I9305BVALI5 through Odin and Mobile ODIN
On Mobile odin phone looks like its working then stays on the SAMSUNG Logo for ages and nothing, just stays there
I have a Back up of an efs which I done through Rom Manager but not sure if its corrupted or how to restore it
If someone coud give me a walkthrough :highfive:

Hi,
About IMEI null/null with 4.4.4 firmware, you should search in this Q/A forum, there a lot of threads asking for this issue. Maybe you should get an answer yourself
However, you should try again to do a clean flash of latest official 4.4.4 firmware with ODIN v3.09 by following this GUIDE HERE from @MaHo_66.
AFAIK, it's impossible to downgrade from 4.4.4 because of KNOX bootloader. It has been said many times in this Q/A forum. Maybe it exists somewhere a tricky trick to do it but I'm not aware of this.

In Addition to @FLooDW 's answer:
Try to use Philz 6.48.4 or 6.59.0 as your recovery rather then TWRP or the old CWM (6.0.4.7), especially DON'T use the latest TWRP from their official website, its a broken build and its known to mess up the partitions! That could be your problem if you have done that before...
Any recovery you want to use, download from my RECOVERY/GUIDE thread that FLooDW linked to you, use those they work fine.
PS. before flashing official firmware with ODIN, make sure you have a custom recovery installed, then boot into recovery, wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache/internalSD/boot/modem etc. this is to ensure when you have flashed the firmware, there is nothing left from the previous firmware that was installed.
Note: when explaining your issue, try to do that by providing as much as possible info about your actions before and after the problem occured, that way anyone who wants to help can help you the best way possible.

Really helpful addition !
Trying what you guys have mentioned just now, let you know as soon as :good:
What 4.4.4. om do you suggest?
Also the efs I backed up (not sure if its working or not as it was with Rom Manager)
How do I restore, can it be done with root explorer?
Tried the [ROM][i9305][18.10.15]>>>4.4.4<<<[KK][STOCK][TW][STABLE][+AROMA] S5 Elite Lite v4.0
which I posted a few days ago, left a post with no reply and thats when I started getting the null/null
PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v5.9.5-4.4.x_I9305_AROMA
Currently trying this rom.. watching the installation set up and says so far that set_perm: some changes failed
used philz_touch_6.59.0-i9305
Rebooting and stays on Samsung Galaxy boot screen ??

AGNi is not a ROM, this is a kernel. Did you flash AGNi kernel over official Samsung firmware ?
As MaHo_66 said, you have to explain more what you have done and what you need if you want us to help you.
Steps :
reflashed a Stock Rom then Rooted it then added Philz Recovery
Then Tried this rom : I9305XXUFNL1_O2UFOB1_4.4.4_KK.zip
Currently trying various modems to see what this gives me
Failing this will need to try QPTS or EFS Professional again.
* I know how to flash and root roms if you look at my signature along with kernels I am basically telling you what I have tried to get
this null/null away as I think its a baseband/modem issue somewhere as I have read various posts and some people agree.
Cant even do the *#197328640# or *#*#197328640#*#* to get into certain modes
Thinking it maybe the sim card slot now .......... I am losing my mind now!

There are few other possible solutions you could try:
- try this, it shows you how to get in service mode and the restoring of the golden efs backup, that should be present if its good.
If above doesnt work, then try the one below.
- have you tried to flash the param_bin file? if not try that with ODIN, it might work.. file attached.
Let us know how it goes.
H yes tied that file and didnt work
will the imei work from another phone or efs?
isnt that link just gps?
