Dear Experts,
I am a really Android Newbie and a few day ago I bought here in China the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, P6800 with Chinese firmware.
Great tablet, but very limited access to international websites and apps
With the help of a friend we rooted the tablet with Odin, installed the recovery clock mod and tried to upload a new firmware. Unfortunately something went wrong. We tried everything that is possible in the mod menu (the menu where the tiny Android is in the back). We tried to recover, to update (we even extracted the recovery.img from the .tar file), used the wipe date and wipe... and did a factory reset. Nothing happens and the tablet was unable to restart and even unable to turn off. The Samsung screen freezes.
At least we went to the store where I bought the tablet and received a new one with Chinese firmware.
Now I am / we are back to beginning and would like to know more about how to change the chinese firmware into the European, at least Hong Kong Version.
I try to describe, what we would like to know, but as you know I am not an expert like you are
How to flash a firmware without using Odin from mod menu (menu, where the little Android is in the back)?
We
Where to get a suitable firmware for my tablet, that will help me to have an open version like Europe / Hong Kong?
How to flash back from mod menu to Chinese version - in worst case?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks for your kind support, Jenny
May anyone can move this thread to the correct forum section?

I really dont know the benefit from 10-posts limit but however... I have to post 10 posts before I can ask in Artemis ROM thread this question:
1.) To everyone how flashed with HSPL 3.03.00000, what RAM utilization do you have after opneing all tabs?
2.) To Sternas, Would it be a great idea to remove all the Windows Live and Marketplace apps which doesnt have any functionality since Microsoft gave Wndows Mobile up?
3.) To Sternas: Thank you for this ROM!

Mate, if you go onto the android dev forum for this handset you can get a full write up on how to root, backup your efs/nv data, and then how to flash a new rom (eg pandoriam, ripper, rxtreme, wanam etc) if you can't find something then search the forum for the answer. It should all be thsre , good luck!!

Yes the "T" in the name is just the Telstra branding, if you follow ausdims rooting thread you will be fine

Thank you
The 'T' in the model number isn't branding. The phone is actually slightly different.
I have a friend who works for Telecom here in NZ and they also sell the I9305T.
He said it is optimised for use on Telecom's network (and obviously Telstra's too) it uses different modems and the antenna is different inside the phone.
They do however use the same ROMs and firmware. Anything intended for the I9305 will also work the same on the I9305T, except modems.

Hi all,
I have a question about rooting, i followed the ausdim rooting guide and installed triangleaway but system still shows modified. Anyway, Is there a ways not to use CWM recovery and use stock recovery? how can i flash stock recovery and keep root? and if i want to update to 4.1.2, can i do OTA without losing root? Thanking you in advance

Hello everyone!
New to this forum and new to Android phone. I have searched the whole forum and read through the dev-sections. Also did searches on multiple sites and through searchengines to find out what device model to use in the ToolKit...didn't find any confirming answer to my question.
As I have no posts from before, I couldn't write this in the dev-section, so I chose the thread that was closest to what I was looking for.
Question: What is the correct device model to choose in the ToolKit (I have version 7.0.0).
Information from my "about section"...
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G
Model: GT-I9305
Android-version: 4.1.1
Build: JRO03C.I9305XXALK5
Operator: Telenor (Norway)
The options I lean towards since the only choice showing 4G, is number 21 (International 4G).
Problem is that it says it's GT-I9305N and not GT-I9305. It also says (Build JRO03C ALIA) and that does not match to my build either.
Then I look at the (International LTE), which says (GT-I9305)...which is ok.
And then number 14, which says (Build JRO03C ALK5), which is the same as mine...but it doesn't say 4G, which I have.
It might sound silly, but I really dont want to make the wrong choice here and end up having a phone that either "does not work at all"
or "does not work as it should". And before anyone says that I then should just leave it alone, my only intention at this point is to let
my anti-virus get root-access, so that the firewall works and the anti-theft works.
Hope anyone can be of help and thanks in advance.

Ok, so I rooted my device yesterday after reading through like 10 more threads...just took a chance, thought to myself "guts and glory" and went for it..went well =) I chose option 14 the build was the same as mine and it worked like a charm.
I am still left with a few quesitons though...might not be relevant to the thread anymore...
Does the rooting share the same build-match requirement as the flashing of a new operatingsystem?
How do I uninstall apps that were preinstalled on an operatorlocked phone?
Anders - Norway
I think you should look for app in app store, Root App delete or something like that. Then search for you operator apps/files and remove.

1. Bootloader is allready unlocked
2.For how to root look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255190&highlight=how+to+root
3. Flash custom recovery, would advice this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxZf39vI0Lc. Download the .tar.md5 and flash with Odin in PDA.
4. Go to the CM thread and download the latest nightly and Gapps (Google apps) and place on the sdcard.
5. Go in recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache, format system and data factory reset and then flash the CM rom and Gapps right after another without rebooting, reboot and you`re done.
hi
hello does it matter that it's a different usb cable, its of htc because the one i got with the phone doesnt seem recognise my phone on the pc
thanks
Is it better to update (to current) android version?
Or is there ANY practical sense to ROOT at lower level android v. Then apply OS mainframe.. YDVTY
Hi guys, need your expert advise to understand something that's new to me....
Well been in this forum for quite some time ..(Back from HTC Diamond days...then HTC Desire, HTC Sensation etc..)
Flash numerous ROMs in all of those HTC devices.
Now, I've bought a second hand GS3 i9305 Titanium Grey for quite a good deal ! After buying I figured it doesn't have 'Software Update' inside 'About' Menu. So, by digging what I believe is, this devices has been rooted and 'may be' a different un-official rom had been flashed. Even the 'Samsung Kies' software tells that this firmware is not supported to auto update and..bla bla...
So, I had to find a way to go stock everything (ROM, MODEM, BOOTLOADER etc.) and start Fresh about rooting and stuff. But unlike HTC devices it's kinda ambiguous to me! So far I figured I want to:
1. Backup my IMEI (I've understood how to do so)
2. Find the exact official firmware.
After countless searching and reading (may be I'm dumb! ) I've reached this page:
HTML:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
... but completely lost as to which firmware version I should download. For Convenience please find below my device's information:
Model Number: GT-I9305
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: I9305BVALI5
Kernel Version: 3.0.31 - 142435

If you guys help me to find out the correct stock firmware and also give me link(s) to definitive guide(s) would help me a lot! (I've read some Odin flash guides though, from I9300 thread. I believe the same guide is also applicable for I9305?)
Thanks for your time reading this, and advanced thanks for your Answers!

Here's a link to some firmware and in it is a link to find out what you're after. Although I don't think it particularly matters which region and stuff cause it's all official samsung stuff: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305
As for flashing there's a million guides out there so I suggest you google it or go through here and find a thread about flashing back to stock for the i9305.
:good:
.. Thanks I Guess! ..
Hi!
I'm on the new $30/4G Monthly TMO plan and running the UGLV3 firmware on an AT&T Note SGH-I717. I know that in January TMO released new firmware UVMA1 and I'm wondering if anyone has tried to load this on their AT&T-branded Note? The reason I'm asking is because once I loaded TMO UGLV3 and a TMO modem the AT&T Note the phone really flew, fantastic upload and download speeds and pretty fluid response, so I'm wondering if the updated firmware is even better.
Again, I'm not asking how to do it (I'd use Kies) just if anyone has tried.. my fear is that the serial number check that Kies uses obviously won't match the T879 model and Kies will fail to load the firmware, but again, before I go through all that I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!!

Hi everybody,
I just received a used Galaxy Note model GT-I9220 from a family friend who bought it in China (I'm from the US). I would like to root it and replace it with an operating system of my choice. The problem is, I don't see anything on the XDA Developers site about this model, as it seems to be specific to China. I've googled a little bit, and I'm getting conflicting information about whether or not I can use the same tools as for the N7000.
My precise specs are:
Model number: GT_I9220
Android version: 4.0.9
Baseband version: I9220DDKL1
Kernel version: [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKL3
I know absolutely nothing about using Android, the process of rooting, or anything in-between. I would like to use the guides on this site, but it would be nice to know whether or not any of it is even relevant to my Galaxy note model. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
As far as I know, the i9220 is the same as the N7000, you can flash N7000 firmwares on I9220.
Make a search in n7000 section with "i9220", you'll get more affirmative answers.
Then, I suggest you to consult the stickied threads made by dr.ketan in these sections, you'll find every guide you need.
Finally, next time you have a question, post it in the Q&A section
