It is based on one I found online for the SHW-M180K so when it boots you might notice it reads "for SHW-M180K" however it has been cleaned of any unneeded code.

SHW-M180W ONLY

hi There ,

I bought the Galaxu tab in Korea for me and my Girlfriend .

So we use it in English and Korean .

Im German she is Korean .

So she needs to write down Korean . But the main Language is english .

My Questions are , i wanna update it to gingerbread if its possible , and but i wann keep that she still can write down Korean ?

Is there any rom that i can use for that ?

and how i do it ?

I coulndt find anything this threat is first what i found .

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technecium:
Gingerbread has not been released yet for this model. It you try to update to gingerbread you are using firmware from another model and may not work as expected. I do not recommend trying; just wait for the official firmware. However, if you do try and it happen to work, you can get the Google Korean IME from the market. It will not change the UI but you will be able to type Korean.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cap712:
ok thanks a lot .

And do u know when will be the upgrade available ? i heared it will happen soon . But i cant wait do u recommend any rom ? which software i have to use ?

I have no idea , so ask u :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technecium:

I never tried Tegrak, but only heard good things about it.

In regards to performance, as someone who has tried both firmware for the shw-m180w, what would you prefer? The official firmware or the tegrak lagfix?

Thanks, your comments would be most appreciated.

SHW M180w

hi there! i recently acquired a used samsung galaxy tab shw m180w wifi only series. its on gingerbread, and firmware is up-to-date. my problem is, everytime i connect it to Kies in my pc, it doesnt detect any memory, both internal nor the sd card memory. same thing when i try to view the memory in the tab itself, it says "unavailable". the tab works just fine, i can surf the net, but i could not put any apps. i could use the camera as well as it prompts me to turn off card storage. please help. i dont understand what the problem of the tab is.. sincerely appreciate your replies.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vzontini:
Today I noticed I was on hboot 33.0012. Do any of the newer radios or ROMs need or work better with hboot 35.0017?

I did a search but couldn't find anything posting a reason to upgrade so I'm not sure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vzontini:
Per galaxys,

"You should be using the latest & greatest hboot 35 and radio 5.08 which was how Gingerbread was OTA'd from Google Development!"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Yes, new hboot and radio versions are required for Gingerbread roms.

I assume you're running a custom rom since you haven't gotten the OTA updates?

All of this should have been pushed to your phone a long time ago.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
What the new hboot does is basically change the partition sizes, allowing for a slightly bigger kernel. CM uses LZMA compressed kernels through so it's not needed for CM. The radios also don't require it but I've had no issues with it and there may very well be some other fixes in it that are less obvious. :)

You want the newer radios though for Gingerbread. Either 5.08.00.04 or 5.12.00.08.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.

Rom based on Official B160.

Features

Kernel from genolokar (available here), see note 1 below for overclocking info.

Rooted and latest SuperUser

Native froyo wifi tethering

WyContacts 1.2 and XDA Dialer 30.1 (turn to silence, blacklist, many other features)

CM 6.1 Email app and wallpapers

Launcher Pro 0.8.5

Some build.prop tweaks

Same enhancements that are claimed for B160 (better call quality, better wireless, better camera)

Installation will not format /data or remove apps from /cust. For some roms (unicom in particular) this will cause problems due to some incompatibilities, and will require a factory reset to function correctly.

BIG THANKS to genokolar for creating the new kernel

Requirements

Clockworkmod recovery (available here)

Should be compatible with all rom and cust versions, though as stated some will require a factory reset. Please post your findings.

Downloads

Complete rom with all fixes and 1.5Ghz kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/0HR8W3BMUR (updated 15/5/11)

Update with all fixes and 1.5GHz kernel http://www.multiupload.com/OISOHEHTDP

1.8Ghz Kernel (use above download to revert to 1.5GHz kernel): http://www.multiupload.com/T7C4N0Q1CQ

Installation

Copy update.zip to your sdcard

Boot to clockworkmod recovery

(Optional) Perform a full backup [see note 2]. After backing up reboot recovery (in the advanced menu)

Apply update from sdcard

After update is compete wipe dalvik cache (in the advanced menu)

Reboot to system. First boot will be slow as it rebuilds the dalvik cache so be patient, successive boots will be back to normal.

(Optional) If everything is fine delete the backup from step 3 and if you like do another backup

Notes

By default the kernel is set to the default cpu governor and clock speed. If you would like to overclock I suggest using setcpu (available here)

Be aware that after applying this you won't be able to restore the full backup unless you either revert to the original rom, or change the boot image. The purpose of the backup is instead to have a backup of /data just in case something goes wrong.

sorry, maybe i'm blind, so, sorry someone can explain or make a copy past. I use windows7. if it help.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Poulsen8r:
You want to go to this page:

http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8800

And choose the link to your language (Though there is no french or german, so you will probably want an english rom like Carphone UK or Australia Roadhound). Download the zip file (it will be around 200MB). Extract the zip file and inside you will find a few things, 2 .app files and some instructions. Basically what you need to do is create a directory on your SD card called 'dload' (without quotes), copy the 2 .app files to this folder. Power down your phone, then simultaneously press vol up, vol down and power and hold them til the screen shows up, follow the further directions. If you need further directions read the instruction file in the zip you extracted earlier.

THIS WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON THE PHONE

:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] portuga2:
thanks, but so we can't burn the file "kernel-2.6.32-U8800- Froyo(U8800源代码).tar" from site of huawei, this is a kernel, it's need compiled to use. we ill have a amdroid 2.3 to flash.

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nanoloop:
I just did a google search and somebody said its a common error to get random reboots when the phone is trying to rapdily connect to new networks in poor signal areas. ( im with 3 australia, there coverage is pretty bad ).

an excerpt i found on another forum

* If you have trouble with random reboots, it is likely due to being in areas of poor reception and the phone swapping from 2G -> 3G -> 2G rapidly. To make the phone far more reliable, goto the system INFO screen (*#*#INFO#*#* in dialer) -> Phone info -> "Set preferred network type:" and choose "WCDMA preferred". Putting the phone into 2G mode only will actually make it LESS reliable.

P.S - this hasnt helped me :( - seems its a bug in 2.2 , fingers crossed huawei update the fone, highly doubt it though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] angelos22:
thank you, works like a dream! (1,2 Ghz)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cephalus:
Sorry to quote the whole thing, but there're a number of relevant points in your post.

My girlfriend's with Three and has a U8800, but doesn't have re-boot issues - her 'phone simply has ridiculously low signal level. I set it to "2G only" and she now consistently connects to the Telstra network (Three's peering partner) without issue.

You might want to disregard the advice you found on the other forum and try setting it to 2G only, then see whether that helps.

In the long run though, unless you want to wait about two years for Vodafone to completely absorb Hutchison/Three, you might want to consider moving to a different service provider. I'm with TPG (yes, it's a shameless plug as I'm a reseller) who re-sells Optus connectivity, and I've never missed a beat in a 200Km radius around Sydney.

Maybe just get a disposable SIM from each of a couple of different carriers, to see how their networks perform for you in your area(s), then make a decision to switch based on that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sentiment:
Running this ROM for a couple of days now and it works great, but after i turned on updates, launcherpro updated itself to 0.8.6 (from 0.8.5) and then the phone became very unresponsive after unlocking it, launcherpro also started to crash sometimes. I removed the update and now it works great again, does this new version work for you guys?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nanoloop:
ill prob just go with telstra, seeing as they have have superior coverage, and i tend not to dwell in the cdb much, so 3 doesnt really suit me. if im gonna roam on telstras 2g network, i may as well go back to using a nokia 3310
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GolfCranK:
Thanks Stockwell for all your work.

I would like to install this now but not sure if it would clash with what I have already done:

I have rooted with Z4root, Stockwells clockwork mod recovery with tiny print in duplicate, this overclock bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043426 , and also I think the stockwell ROM with native wifi.

So does this new stockwell ROM overwrite the Wifi Rom, the oclock bootloader, and the kernel?

This is my current info:

Baseband 129005

Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf

Build U8800HV100R1001C00B136

Custom CUSTC257D001

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Installing the full rom will replace the kernel and rom and there shouldn't be any issues.

edit: just for clarification, it's not an 'overclocked bootloader', it's actually the kernel that allows for overclocking.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GolfCranK:
Thanks for the reply. All running well now.

Why did you embed Launcher Pro? I am pretty happy with Go Launcher Ex. Is it possible to uninstall or lockout LP?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cephalus:
I must say I'm happy with LauncherPro - does everything it should, without being extravagant about it. If I was developing a ROM, I'd likely include it as the standard launcher too.

Having said that though, there's been talk about "upgradability" of the application, especially now that v0.8.6 is out, so it might be better to apply it post-flash rather than including it in the ROM.

The easiest (and best) method to remove it, is to simply remove the APK from Stockwell's ROM before flashing - open update.zip, go to system/app/ and delete LauncherPro-0.8.5.apk.

You can also add to this directory the APKs of other applications you'd like to embed in the ROM, but bear in mind that they might not be able to be upgraded from the Market at a later date. I'd also advise that you use a proper archiving utility (I use 7-Zip) rather than the "native" Windoze ZIP handler.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sentiment:
So if i remove launcherpro 0.8.5 and add launcherpro plus 0.8.6 in update.zip and then apply this "new" ROM on my phone it should work with the update?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Mine is working fine with the update to launcher pro (I believe it updated automatically, but you might need to accept the update in market). I'm using the same rom that can be downloaded on the front page.

If you want to install another launcher then just download it from the market and press the home key and set the new launcher as default.

As for why I included launcher pro, a launcher has to be included in the rom otherwise it can't function. Launcher pro is my preferred launcher so it was the logical choice.

Edit:

Can't really think of any reason why it would be slow after the update. My only suggestion would be to try clearing the data of launcher pro (settings --> applications --> manage applications --> click on launcher pro and click clear data)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ioucorsa:
the only thing i have noticed is that when accepting a call and also at the end of the call it vibrates a little , just instant...

i don't rememeber this happening at the custom rom...

i might be wrong so if anynone knows just inform me because it little weird and if we can deactivate from somewhere it would be nice...

Any help would be appreciated although I hate to take you away from your studies Stockwell.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ioucorsa:
i think you just have to reinstall the rom because it might haven't installed 100% proper...

it can happen...

so give a try...

Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korpenkraxar:
Well, this sounds like what happened to me as well, although I have to confess I just updated the kernel onto the stock ROM instead of using B160. I have now switch the kernel back. Are you by any chance using ADW instead of LauncherPro? ADW is what always crashes first for me when it happens...

Is it possible to use the stock kernel with B160 and still benefit from other fixes in userland?
