World's first booted SGT GSM Honeycomb 3.0 A2 with wifi, ported by Sacemoose1

:DAlmost there guys,

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR TAB TAKES A HUGE ****!!!!!

These are the steps I took to get it to boot with fully working WIFI, It may or may not work for you. TRY at your own risk!

*Put spacemoose1-hc-gsm-A2.zip (i NAMED IT THAT)on your external sd http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29538831/spacemoose1-hc-gsm-A2.zip

*DO factory reset, erase all data, cache and dalvic.

*Instal spacemoose1-hc-gsm-A2.zip from CWR.

*REBOOT, and WAIT!!

I MODDED THE BUILD.PROP TO SAY samsung, and to identify as a 10.1 galaxy tab

*when it starts go straight into settings and change when your screen sleeps. go the highest, I think its 10 minutes.

*then go to wireless settings and click the option that says never sleep while charging.

*Go to Market, after you get online, and got to setting, and tell market to show ALL apps

*DO NOT push your power button to put screen to sleep! IT will reboot, if trying this comming frombgb.

*When Tab reboots, it seems to forget WIFI passwords

*doesnt seem to recognize sd cards, this could most likely be fixed easily, or somewhat easily.(fix comming tom)

let HONEYCOMB settle, you will like it!

I have included the GSM honeycomb zimage incase you need it. it does have CWR.

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED FLAVOR YOUR TAB WITH HONEYCOMB

:( update :(

Well guys its has been an awesome expierence. But i no longer have a tab and will be moving over to the viewsonic gtab forumz.

Its been a blast, galaxy tab sections, and I will miss you.

Keep making the best darn android tablet even better.

Hopefully I left on a sweet note by giving gsm users a key to the jungle gym.

To the 134 tab users who hit my thanks button cause I helped them in some way, thank you.

I hope to return someday. Just cant afford the tmobile insurance deductable anytime in the distant future.

So if anyone wants to help, well . . . . *cough* paypal . . . .

I got no reponse after reboot from cw menu and can not go into cw menu again...what should I do, should i reinstall cw from digging screen?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
Stupid question perhaps, but after it "settles" as you note, can you then power the screen off without a reboot or is this just to play a bit with HC until @space figures that out?

Thanks for this man. Button hit.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
Also, in case you don't want to kill Dropbox, check out: http://www.filedropper.com/

You have to upload and get separate links for each file, but it might be worth it so they don't blacklist you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
it reboots, but I am sure we could find some screen off widget. it seems to be directly connected to pushing that button.

FYI, one it's in synced to dropbox it downloads from the dropbox servers, not your computer. If too many people download it in a short space of time dropbox will terminate the link, but it has no impact on your internet connection
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
Cool thanks. There are a few screen timeout apps I think even some with widgets, but I'm guessing the problem would be with turning the screen back on. I may go on the hunt for an app that uses the soft keys to do this, perhaps that will work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
I'll have to try this, but I think if you hit the volume keys the screen turns on. This might be a workaround. I'm going to follow your instructions in a bit and try this out. I'll let you know what happens.

Don't excuse yourself, we understand how it can be frustrating, you will figure it out later, have a good "night" sleep.​

Is that 'reboot on power button press' issue only present for GSM or is it in CDMA build too?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lucian777:
i think only in the gsm vers. cdma is fine. ps here is a widget that puts the phone to sleep, maybe someone is willing to try.

Even a spacemoose can't do magic and fix GSM builds without a little sleep now and than! Sleep well and thanks for your efforts so far.

I hope many people donate for this project, I did!

I am just downloading the rom from github, will take a look but i am not expecting to see anything obvious
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cminion:
Cheers for trying, any chance you can give us or show us where we can find the kernel config file you are using?

GSM tab boots .... now to have a play

Sorry must have missed that I have just read through the last 20pages rather quickly

Update:

Stable after a few mins still

however power button does auto shutdown, i wonder if that is a feature and its wire up firing the wrong thing
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
mate , no one was trying to insult u or anything , the prob is , if the OP want to open the GSM thread probably will do it by him\herself , no hard feelings dude , even XDA at the 1st was having 2 forums for CDMA & GSM , but they wont continue with it and they bring both back together , let it to the Dev . cheers my friend :)

Edit : don't be angry with me ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gospeedracergo:
anyone happen to know whats up with auto rotate? all i can do is rotate it with the apk
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chandradithya:
I am almost 100% sure the screen off widget wont work. My screen timeout was at 1 minute. I left it unattended for a while and poof it rebooted.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cminion:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Leon_Citron:
It's alpha release !

What did you expected ? A full running system ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lucian777:
This thread is becoming messy, guys when you are going to post something pls at least mention if you are on cdma or gsm.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lucian777:
In this time wifi was on? or at least wifi is working? Im asking because on gtab honecomb was a issue when the wifi was on the tablet reeboted while in sleep.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Yea, you're going to have to take the thing apart. Start by peeling away the top plastic layer of the screen, there are screws you cant see... just pull it up with like a screwdriver or somethin..

After you do that, read the op, watch the videos posted..... and then realize it's alpha 2! Sorry to be a ****... but there are so many stupid questions posted on these boards from people who were smart enough to get here and then too dumb to use their eyes and READ
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Never mad. Crazy but noy mad.

A few updates

Trying to get xda app, but aparently i have no sd cards-

After reboots, it seemsto forget my wifi passwords.

Cant find a flash player yet so online video not tested yet

Market is missing alot of stuff. Gonna try to find amarket fix

Iu am loving it so far. If we had sound, i would be in heaven.

That and i no longer own a tab. Crap.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] keith.macdonald:
Any idea how long we have to wait for it to reboot. I was running Overcome 2 final (luckily, I made a backup), and followed the instructions to the letter. Now, the Tab is just sitting there. The thing is that, when I went to wipe the data, cache, Dalvik cache, etc, CWM returned an error that it couldn't find them. Was I supposed to reboot after applying the ext 4 conversion, BEFORE flashing the ROM, because the instructions don't specify that...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
please define "there"

is it a blank screen and the hard keys are lit up, the samsung logo? cwm?

Instructions: boot to cwm

do your wipes if you want

flash rom

reboot.... done
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stejc:
How long does it stick on the Galaxy Tab screen on first boot? I've download the .zip from GIT, sorted out the file structure and tried to flash it using CWM Flash from SD card. Have I messed up something by doing that?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] surheeho:
Strange thing, my Tab's battery died last night and now Im charging it and can't get it to come back on. Anybody else have this issue?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
It will act strange, don't freak out. Let it charge, walk away. Once it completely dies it acts as though it's completely dead and will need some major juice before it responds again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
that was not the best move. follow my instructions.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gospeedracergo:
google body works, just adb install and it should be good to go
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] surheeho:
thanks, i was a little scared.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
welcome, when i first got mine I was guilty of doing this, I didn't realize the factory cable needed the factory usb charger... stupid amps.

after a few hours just hold your power button, it'll either show you lights just by touching power or it'll cycle to your samsung logo and boot accordingly
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] keith.macdonald:
Hm, interesting... I waited, like, 30 minutes, then did a hard reset. Sorry, I can't remember if the capacitive buttons were lit up. :-) I can't get the Tab to go in to recovery mode at this point, and when I boot it normally, the Samsung logo appears, and then some graphical glitching for a few seconds. Then, nothing. You can see that the screen is on, but it's totally dark. Looks like I'll be reflashing stock again. ;-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cminion:
Could the jit resizing only happen when the screen goes off??

I/dalvikvm( 2540): Jit: resizing JitTable from 512 to 1024

I saw this twice as the last item after the screen went off

Yes this is probably just a freak happening
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cminion:
Can you boot into downloading mode (Volume Down and power on together) ? then use odin to reflash the stock rom? that is my advice,
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] keith.macdonald:
Yeah, er... I just realized how pointless it was to make a backup of my Overcome install, since it was on the internal storage, and that was deleted. Same thing goes for CWM Recovery. ;-) I don't know if others are encountering the same problem I did, but I followed the directions, to the letter. Ah, well, such are the realities of bleeding edge ROM experimentation. ;-) Time to reflash to Overcome.

I hate ODIN. With a passion. Such a PITA. :-p I may just wait until spacemoose releases something, before I even touch my Tab again. Or, maybe I'll get bored...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stejc:
What instructions?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] keith.macdonald:
Yah, download mode works. Like I said, I think I'll wait for an official release from spacemoose, give her work a try, and if it's even half-ways decent (which it seems to be), then I'll leave it on there, and flash updates as they're released. Otherwise, I'll just switch back to Overcome...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] matthewflinchbaugh:
How has everyone been getting root? Are you using adb or has someone found a way to obtain root right from within honeycomb?

By the way spacemoose, you are awsome. I strongly appreciate all of your hard work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
superoneclick works
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kuroz91:
I succeeded in restoring my previous cwm overcome backup. You must copy the clockworkmod directory to external sd or anywhere else before flashing hc.

To restore your overcome backup you will have to restock and follow overcome guide to the letter then copy back you clocworkmod directory to internal sd.

Restore in clockworkmod. Then if you got stuck at boot after that with no cwmr you will have to flash overcome kernel via heimdall. No smooth to do but I got my Overcome back exactly like it was before HC. Sorry for not talking about HC Alpha build.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] keith.macdonald:
No, this is actually quite useful, because it helps people to understand what's ACTUALLY going on, during the process of backing up, deleting, flashing, etc. Restoring a CWM backup in this way might prove to be overly difficult for some flashers, but it's not difficult, if you understand what's going on, and so it's good to understand what's happening, so that you can plan a restoration path ahead of time, in case this sort of thing happens.

What'd be REALLY nice is if there were a way to get the Tab to boot off of the removable SD card. That way, you could boot in to CWM Recovery from there, and then restore the backup...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] itsjusttim:
Thanks for the update. Take all the time you need.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lucian777:
Whats nice? He worked 22 hours for almost nothing and you are saying NICE?

@itsjusttim It's better now.

wifi+dhcp works in latest git

Just flashed files from the latest GIT... Wifi with DHCP works fine now .. Seems lot smoother.. I'm sure the power button will cause reboot coz Spacemoose already mentioned abt it the OP...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Wow, this thread has really blown up over night! Guess the GSM folks are getting a bit impatient. ;) In any event, oldmacnut had mentioned something about trying to host a site for us to build up an "Apps that are Honeycomb Compatible" repository of sorts. I've already posted the gmail, Tweetcomb, and Friendcaster HD apk's, and here's a rundown of what I've managed to dig up over night:

AccuWeather for Honeycomb (big file, but excellent, since I can't get Weatherbug to play nice), CNN App for Tablets, File Manager HD, Google Body, Grocery iQ Tablet, News360 for Tablets, Newsr, Maxthon HD (browser), and Plume HD.

*All of these are confirmed working on my CDMA Tab, and working well I might add. They ALL require the 3.0 OS, so they are HC specific. For those a bit less Type-A than I am, I wanted to fill you in on the possibilities. If you want any of the above apps before they get posted to a "repository" site, PM me with your email, and I can send them. I don't want to spam Space's thread with random file links, but on the same hand, these apps really add to the functionality and appeal of Honeycomb (stack widgets, awesome UI's etc), and I felt I should let everyone else play too, while Space is hard at work. Ciao! :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lucian777:
Try get some logs while the tab goes to sleep, maybe we can find something useful. Paste the logs on pastebin.com and give us the link. Thx!

Download the honeycomb kernel i posted and put your tab in download mode.

Flash it in heimdell. Zimage should be n both zimage and recovery spots.

Restoring back... my 2 cents

Just wanted to add my observations/steps on restoring back...

1. Was on Overcome 2, But Kernel was koxudaxi.. Lets say kernelwithCWMandInternalSDSupport

2. Flashed HC files from GIT

3. Now we have kernelwithCWMandExternalSDSupport

4. Now, we want to go back to earlier backed up image (with files on Internal SD), the HC CWM cant do this.

5. My External SD is a small one 1GB.. I have the Koxudaxi & Overcome kernel ZIP files handy on this.

6. Rebooted to HC CWM. Did a Nandroid backup (just in case , also we can test it if works fine )

7. Flashed Koxudaxi kernel... got the CWM which has Internal SD support.

8. Rebooted for curiosity.. Obviously Boot loops..

9. Went to CWM. CWM with Internal SD support now.

10. Restoring earlier back up.. Now still in progress.. hope it runs fine :)

It is easy to copy the Nandroid clockworkmod folder and restore but not really sure as the CWM may turn out incompatible.. ( more so as the HC CWM cant see the Internal SD...)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Wait at least 10 minutes. Mine took 9 the first time. I had given up. There is no boot screen animation. I put one in but it doesnt play.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kuroz91:
I might add : To restore successfully, you must use the same clockworlmod recovery version that you used to backup.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Get ur question in guys. My roomate want the tab back.

I dont have one (as of yesterday) anymore. But will try to help as mjch as i can.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ravindrank:
OT: Backup/Restore

Yes exactly...

BTW after restore doesnt seem to boot.. Stuck at GALAXY TAB screen.. not going into CWM as well.. Download mode works..

So would be flashing.. First would try the kernel alone.. lets see
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kuroz91:
Rigth, I was stuck like you after restore, I reflashed kernel via Heimdall, et voilà!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Sorry dude, must be being thick here but where is the kernel you mentioned? I got honeycomb to boot ok, no lockscreen, but it was running like a wounded animal :mad: Did the lockscreen work for you? Thanks bud :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ravindrank:
Yeah got oc kernel tar...flashed woth odin...working fine...:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Useless_Alias:
No matter what I restore I have to keep a CWM flashable kernel for the ROM handy on my card or else....if I don't flash the kernel alone after restore I get your same problem.....ppl reflash your kernel after restore. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Lobout:
Oooh.. a melted tab.. can I have mine on white toast with a bit of cheddar cheese. I think i'll skip the side order of VD though.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] idumych:
If you have a sprint tab, it's part of that leaked flasher. My data died after flashing this too but flashing the modem fixed it (for stock froyo, not in HC) Just flash it with Heimdal

Spacemoose, please feel free to post this link in the OP for others who lost their modem, I have unlimited hosting.

http://spindash.org/ANDROID/Sprint Modem/modem.bin
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
Today's news: Discovered that the driver problem is most likely a kernel issue so I'm going to spend a bit of time re-working the kernel. I'll probably compile an entirely new kernel (rather than further modification to the awesome work Boushh has done) based on the samsung code @ at kernel.org but as my expertise (insofar as I have expertise) is in networking/database/java it will likely take more than a couple of days to figure it out. That will be in a near-future release and will allow me to fix the rest of the system in short order, but I won't have a definite timeline until I really get into the work.

Also made significant improvements to the installation package, should cut down on some of the issues some of you are having getting it set up. That will appear in the next release, probably on Wednesday or Thursday. That release will also contain a fix for the touch keys, a boot animation (it will be present but un-implemented until the GFX are fixed,) and a new kernel that improves some of the FCs, but still doesn't fix the major driver issues.

Nothing spectacular in the next release, but progress is progress.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] torespen:
Hehe.. made my day :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Grimstache:
Need a modem driver that actually works.

Anyone have a modem driver for a VZW Tab? I can't get it to install through hem. Also, I can't open the command propt for hem, it closes too fast. What do I do? I lost my 3g conn.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] idumych:
Try finding a leaked firmware package or complete dump for verizon. I simply copied that modem file from the sprint update package in the leaked updater.

If you don't find it by the time I'm off work, I'll take a crack at it for you :)

Spacemoose: so awesome! Thank you again for all your work!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dragon1022:
Can someone with a Sprint tab that got it working give me a walk through because I can not get this going to save my life.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] idumych:
Here's what I did:

Previously, I had ran all the OTA updates and rooted. Then I ran the SGS verizon bootstrapper from the market, which installed CWM 3.0 and did the EXT4 conversion. Then, I used Clockworkmod to flash the Voodoo kernel v4 update zip from step two in that thread. This converted everything back to RFS by default, so after it did that, I went back into recovery and turned "lagfix" back on, which then converted everything back to ext4. This is the state my tab was in when I tried to flash this.

Now, with that in mind, to install this Honeycomb built, I just flashed it over and over again with clockwork mod. I had this same issue with the Voodoo step 2 and that's why I used CWM 3.0 at that point. The first few times i tried it either got stuck while unpacking or flashed "successfully" but didn't boot. When I finally got it to work, I recall it getting stuck, powering off, reflashing, it not booting, and then flashing one more time. It might be placebo, but turning the tab off by holding the power button rather than rebooting seemed to make a difference.

So LONG story short, the basic steps are

1. Run SGS Verizon bootstrap from market

2. Flash the Voodoo v4 update.zip from step 2 of the voodoo thread

3. Enable "Lagfix" in recovery

4. Flash honeycomb from recovery over and over again until it boots

You can tell it's actually booting when it finally does work because you will see some flickery distortion from the bootloader and then the screen turns black (no logo). If it sits at the samsung logo for more than say, 20 seconds, reflash.

Hi guys just wanna say what an awesome job u guys doin and honeycomb looks so nice. Wish i knew how to test it id help out.

Sorry but i just had to ask whats the difference with cdma and gsm? And how do i know if my tab is the cdma version?

Keep it up guys, and thx in advance ;-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beno*:
if you are Verizon or Sprint, you are CDMA, AT&T or Tmo, you are GSM
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kamale:
Im not from the US btw. Im using the singtel version from singapore. Any other way to identify maybe in the settings of the tab? Something to look out for?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beno*:
I believe the P1000 is GSM
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kamale:
Ok just got the specs and some wiki info on singtel and the set its offering. Sadly its GSM :-(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] williams37:
just when I thought there was no hope for any further development for our tabs, this comes out! I have an actual use for my tablet atm, but I can't wait to try out your next release. I hope some people more talented than myself hop onboard with this and help you develop something fully functional. Thanks for the hard work!
