Hello, I have been reading for a long time now on threads all over this forum and there is simply too much for me to take in. So I thought maybe I could ask for help and one of you clever people could help me.
I would like to update the firmware on my tesco samsung tab gt-p1000 wifi and 3g to anything 4.+ oh and suitable for the uk. I'd like to still be able to make calls, use gps text and wifi general stuff. If some one in the know could suggest all the downloads I would need and point me towards a guide that suits those I would be very greatfull. p.s I think the tablet has been messed about with before as it has no serial number but I don't know.
Please don't just post ''read this thread'' I'm asking for some one how knows this information and just say ''use the modem LINK, this rom LINK, this software LINK and follow this guide LINK or similar.
From my research there are other people looking for the same build. If there is already one out there. link me up please.
I maybe looking for a complete odin build !
currently firmware is 2.2, baseband version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 , FROYO.XWJJ3

Thanks for letting me know that.
So how will I do it?
You can follow my signature to overcome method.
Your have froyo, so you must root your ROM to enable you to check if you have protected bootloader.
And if you do, then to patch it.
Gingerbread doesn't have such issue.
But all that is in overcome PDF guide.
Once you have overcome kernel, it gave you cwm recovery.
With that you flash custom ROM.

I have tried searching to find out which version of gingerbread I need, I am in the UK, my galaxy s is running...
Froyo baseband version I9000 XXJPY
Build No FROYO.XXJPY
Firmware version 2.2.1
can anyone please advise me, thank you..
JVR is the most recent mate, don't think it's available on kies yet - but there's many a juicy custom rom waiting for you in the development section. If you check out MilkyS, it has all files inc odin required to flash.

I can't update via Keis as I have tried but nothing happens so I was going to flash via ODIN but don't know which one to use...
Which gingerbread one do I use as I'm in the UK, will any Europe one do?
Any will do, but you want the most recent. If you want stock jvr, then search this thread (it won't be far), if you want custom, check development thread. The modem is vaguely area specific, the csc is country specific - you want xeu.
As before, if u fancy custom, MilkyS has odin in the download package and full flashing instructions in zip.

You can read darkstriders sticky for more info on flashing.

It's excellent. Fast, smooth and very good battery. Enjoy.

You need to be on Gingerbread first before you can flash your phone with an ICS ROM. The following web site gives an easy step by step tutorial plus download links to get ICS on your SGS.

Ray.
or get 2.3.x updated from kies , than root it and then do cyan9 , its best. worked like charm. just read the instructions and follow it.
Kies says am upto date with latest software can i get gingerbread without kies?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
You can update your device till 2.3.6.
Unfortunatelly I only have a german page with the explanation.
Actual firmware you find here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570488
I think in this thread the users could help you.
Yes, using the Odin. Look here:
w*w*w.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-gets-android-4-0-based-aokp-rom/
For install ICS, you need first install a GB 2.3.6 rooted, look here :
w*w*w.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
end enjoy.
Atencion, take very carefull in this journey. Read all with very carefull.
Sorry for my poor english.
BEWARE: You are coming from Froyo - so you have to flash an android version that includes a socalled "bootloader" (some versions don't include that, as far as I know).
Reed carefully first before flashing.
Thanks guys I did it through Odin now on 4.0 whoooooo lol

Hi all,
I own a Galaxy Tab P1000 bought in UK and not sim locked.
I bought it in Carphone Warehouse.
Now I wonder if I can install ICS on my Tab.
I know nothing about kernels in general so please do not come up with install this kernel, that kernel.
I have a stock 2.3.3 ROM updated via Kies and I rooted it.
I just want to keep all my features working on my Tab (camera, data, voice and so on) after the upgrade so I am not interested if some stuff is not working.
If these requirements are met I wish you could come up with an upgrade procedure for dummies with the link to all files needed.
Again I know nothing about kernels so please try to explain what I am gonna do.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Federico.
Well, too bad.
Samsung won't make ICS for this tab, so no L
kies update for you.
And yeah, we all will tell you to install a kernel+cwm to flash it.
And no spoon feeding either...

Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
Links are easy to find in their individual thread.
Come back here after you have overcome rom, come back here and I am willing to guide you further.

Yes, both cm9 and AOKP can do that.

I am reading some information. It looks like there are stability problems with custom roms. Endless loops with one. Wifi disconnecting on the other. When I was using a sony ericsson x10 I used to install custom roms. Just all had bugs and I always went back to stock. Thing is that the tab is more complicated and I am not willing to brick it either.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
P.S. Cwm is already installed on my tab. Just not the kernel.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
You need cwm 5.x to be successful I think.
Btw, gtab is quite hard to brick, as long as you didn't screw up the boot loader.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Steps should be to:
- Install GB-stock-safe-v5.zip (Odin) (I have 1.85 is that ok?)
- Install Overcome 4.0.0 Kernel (Odin) (I have 1.85 is that ok?)
- Install Overcome 4.1 ROM wipe (via CWM, should I use wipe or no wipe?)
Once I am done with that I can use CWM to install an ICS ROM if I wish.
I think I got this correctly didn't I?
Ok, I am now lost about which specific ROM to try. CM seems more stable but is there any specific release (more stable) that I should be looking for? Could anyone please link a post to a stable ICS CM release for my tab?

i found it while i was searching for kernel 4.0 but they suggested to use this.
somewhere from xda only
is it due to that?
Maybe, maybe not.
Just some unclear naming.
Currently all mainstream android should be using Linux kernel 2.6 and some now 3.0
The naming of kernel 3.3.1 and 4.0 must be a proprietary naming that is arbitrary chosen my the author.
Were you looking for overcome kernel 4.0 ?
If so, maybe you want to redo everything based on overcome guide to ensure 100% working good rom?

you need another browser. When I download with safari (on Mac) I don't see file size, it just downloads the file.

if you are just looking for the overcome kernel 4.0, you can download this, flash it via odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1151095&d=1340489289
but before flashing the above, please MAKE SURE that you are looking for the overcome kernel 4.0: Your device I assume is p1000, for GSM.
I have a stock GT-P1000, locked to Vodafone Portugal, with firmware 2.3.6, baseband P1000BUJQ1, kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and the compilation number is GINGERBREAD.BUJQ3, can i root with CF-Root from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734) ? which file should i choose ? if not, how can i root this device ?
still can't find any rooting method compatible with my setup, been searching google and xda, and everyday i have more doubts about this ... any ideas ?
if you want to consider an alternative that most people use: overcome method.
the links are in my signature.
It is a two step process and will wipe your tab;
Download from the links 4 things:
-Gb-stock-safe-v5
-the guide (PDF)
- overcome kernel tar
Jump to guide page 7
Follow the picture to flash GB-stock-safe rom
after that, follow the picture to flash overcome kernel tar
and you will have CWM recovery.
You won't have root yet, but using cwm you can flash ICS or JB roms.

thanks for you suggestion, i've already seen overcome kernel and some of your posts, but i think this kernel isn't the most adequate for me, because it has too many mods. i want a kernel that is as close to the original as possible, like CF-Root kernel. Besides, i still don't know if i can flash the overcome kernel on top of what i have ...
Can't help you much, sorry.
I don't even know how the kernel mods in overcome affect me when I was using it.
I just use it it a while before moving to red pill kernel.
Again, I don't know what mods were in that, just like the stability, speed, and battery consumption.
