how to flash it?

would u pls teach me how to flash it via recovery?

thanks a lot:)

........................................................................................

download the file and extract it, rename the zip file to "update" zip on sd card and flash via recovery.

is it right?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
It will brick your device. This is only for Samsung Galaxy Tabs
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] aludal:
Thank you, Mr. tsarkh! Several questions though, if you please:

1. My WiFi-only Galaxy Tab is "GT-P1010" model for USA, what would be the difference compared to your "P1010" firmwaress? In other words, are they compatible, or I end up with default Arabic locale I wouldn't know how to switch back to English?

2. If everything is OK to flash "P1010" firmware on my "GT-P1010" model, then what other letter designation (like "P1010XWKC" or so may mean in terms of compatibility? My point is Samsung Web site won't give me these detail, whereas back of unit is simply states that my model is "GT-P1010" with no additional letters?

3. What flashing program you'd recommend for me, plus is there any recovery (to my stock) would be if something goes wrong?

Thank you again for your prompt answer, in advance.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] juancitocruz:
Hi!

Yes, I tried with a wipe device after the upgrade porcess. and nothing change.

And I also tried wit a diferents rom from samfiles and it's same..

I remobed the SD card too..

My GT-P1010 was buyed in USA. and is in english

If any of you have a solution, please sendme a private message or a email to juancitocrua(a)gmail.com
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] juancitocruz:
I don't know, because after the first restart i can't do nothing with my tab.

before the firmware upgrade, yes, I was able to select the spanish language (on the original firmware).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] palmzac:
me too. Please help !
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] onemotodroid:
do not mod your phone until a recovery method is posted - clockworkmod
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] juancitocruz:
sorry, but I don't understand your post ...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alexgogan:
The file was just dropped in and there is no dev support or anything that goes with it, so until any dev's get involved or wish to help its best (sorry about this) not to flash anything if you do not have a method to get back to your previous install.

I have enough knowledge in a broken sense to get back but I would not try this without knowing I can get back to previous, or atleast know there are others in the post/thread that can support me in case of a c0ck up!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] juancitocruz:
ok!

I understand now

do you have any method for extract the stock rom from your GT-P1010?

because I think as a workaround we can use it until some developer finaly develop a good one.

thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alexgogan:
Yes sorry meant to get back to you, root the device then get terminal to allow you to create a rar file... And if you want script will drop it here in the morning with instructions

................

Ok, first you have to make sure you have rooted your device, SuperOneClick did it for me in a snap, then install busybox to (/system/xbin if it doesn't go there then copy it.. I used OI file manager to move things around but there are plenty others) and super user (they usually come hand in hand) then get Android Terminal Emulator from the market as well. Once this is done follow the next few steps.

How to create a system dump

Once the above are done run the terminal, and everying below in the " " is what you type in there but ignore the "" bits >:¬}

1 "su" then hit return this gives you god powers over your device so really, honestly if you do not know what you are doing or do not follow the steps, then don't even try.....

2 "cd /sdcard" this tells the terminal to go to the sdcard directory so you can type the next line... remember hit return..

3 "chmod 777 /system/xbin/busybox" the chnod 777 is a unix command and it is saying that the following busybox is fully read writable from now on and it is to do what god says!!!... don't forget to press return!

4 "/system/xbin/busybox tar czvf dump.tar /system" this is then saying run baby run create be a system dump of my device please, and while your at it put it into a nice single file and make it a nice small package.... for those who would like to know the czvf are commands for the tar process .. c=create new archive z=compression v=removes in essence the symbolic links f=read or write the archive to a certain location, then the /system is where it is to be writen to...

Once this is done and it can take a while so put the kettle on it will create the system dumb into the system folder, then use the file manager of choice to copy move (i suggest move cause it creates a bloody great big file) then your done.

Now needless to say if you think I am to blame for any damage done to your device for using the above then you should not have attempted it in the first place and its just one of those things, it has worked for me perfectly many times and it should work for you!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] juancitocruz:
Hi

And thanks for your full explanation.

But I can't root my device, because it are continues restarting, and I can't do any think.

I'm wonderin how to use the factory restore ( like restore.zip from the system option )

pressing power + volume up.

do you have other idea?

thanks a lot

Hello!

I have the same problem and now trying to recover... Let's try together!

Could you please tell me what is written on FCC ID on the back cover of your device?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andrewin:
Do you know FCC ID of the model you mentioned?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] juancitocruz:
I get my tab on Tigerdirect (compusa) and the FCC ID is A3LGTP1010A

S/N R61B356468Z
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stsights:
yes

FCC id: A3LGTP1010A

S/N : R61B456932D

what else we can do??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andrewin:
I have the same FCC ID.

I had the same problem (continuous reboot by android.process.media).

One very kind man helped me to fix it by flashing stock FW.

Please wait till tomorrow and hopefully I can help you all.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stsights:
Hello

really you fixed your tablet!? Please help us out i will wait for your post every minute

thank you
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andrewin:
Yes, I did. But that doesn't mean that it will work for you...

However you can try it on your own risk.

Link: http://narod.ru/disk/18440261001/P1010ZHKF1.zip.html (sorry, it might be slow, but I have no other hosting available).

Password of archive: nomoreuncheckedfirmwares

It is HK official firmware. English language supported. Side effect: after every reboot it sets HK time zone :-)

I checked several times: flash this one - works fine, flash another - doesn't.

Please report your result.

PS: our problem does not depend of FCC ID. I know some people with the same one could flash normally any available FW.

second I noticed that inside the file we have the pda file with the word "mid" instead the other firmwares that I tried comes with "low" may be that is the difference and the problem that we faced or not but again thanks for your help

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] abo_mara7:
Hello,

I faced the same problem, I've flashed this rom : P1010JPKC6, and the the fone faces a force close and then restarts, and continuoing doing it in a loop. However, I installed the rom you shared and it worked. Thanks.

But the question is, how can I use that rom since it does support my language while this is not?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andrewin:
What kind of answer do you expect?

This is a time for you to learn more languages. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Solaris_irc:
Sorry but as of now the development for the P1010 is almost null... I whant to make a full backup for the stock ROM but there is no answer as of now, also im trying to know how to make the BML mapping fot the P1010 to make a Rotobackup... but can't find info on that too.

My firmware is UJKB4 and is nowere to be found fot use in ODIN in case of brick :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andrewin:
Who has the problem with android.process.media rebooting and don't want to flash Hong-Kong ROM, here is the solution:

1. Flash whatever ROM you like (tested on KB8, KC1).

2. Get android.process.media error

3. Flash this kernel as PDA, no repartition, no CSC: http://narod.ru/disk/20740550001/P1010ZHKF1-kernel.ZIP.html (unzip before flashing)

4. ???????

5. PROFIT!

I flashed KC1 this way, and then upgraded to KM2 through KIES, got no error.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hgw:
Hi @all,

I face that problem too :( I searched the web and it seams that all Firmeware roms that are available on the web have the same problem. I found on DroidAngel, Androidadvices, Samfirmware, SamsungFlashFiles the same Firmeware files (all the files are hosted on hotfiles.com) :confused: The only Rom File that is working is the Rom that is provided on the post above (from "waqypaqy"). But this rom is only Chines and English and "Kies" don't know that Firmeware Version :( (I am from Germany)

So my quetion: Is it possible that someone can provide a original-samsung-galaxy-tab-stock-rom-for-Europe that is working?!?!?

I am very confused :confused:, why there are so many rom files and HowTo's on the web to updade the P1010 but these rom files are not working. It's a horrible trap and it seams a lot of users where misguided :mad:

Is there are a possibility that I can send my device back to samsung to reflash it?

By the way, I bought my device 2 says ago, so I will go on monday to my seller and will tell him that I face that problem after I made an update. So I hope I can take it back to samsung to reflash it :)

I hope someone can help!!!

BR hgw :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ffgf:
If i extract my rom using the procedure you specified how can i reapply it to another Tab? using Odin? thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andrewin:
Flash this: http://narod.ru/disk/20740550001/P1010ZHKF1-kernel.ZIP.html

Then flash this: http://narod.ru/disk/20834712001/P1010XWKM2_P1010OXXKM2_HOME.7z.html

After that you will have Latest European Firmware: P1010XWKM2
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stsights:
Hello again Andrewin.

are you using the P1010XWKM2 do you know if it is faster than the P1010ZHKF1 ?

second can you please correct me I had the problem with the media process error with my tablet p1010 after you provided us the P1010ZHKF1 everything worked perfectly (thank you one more time) only the HK time zone was the problem but not big deal, now if I flash with the P1010XWKM2 first I need to flash the P1010XWKM2 and after that will give me the media process error and I shut down the tablet and put the P1010ZHKF1 kernel as pda and flash it is that correct? can you please tell me if it will worth it to flash it with the P1010XWKM2 ?

kind regards.

Hello people, i have the froyo.ujkm5, i can flash this firmware, the tab is from brazil.

i have flashed the motorola and HTC, but in samsung i'm all new.

thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andrewin:
I am using KM2 and it better for me because of more languages and no HK timezone.

I didn't try to flash KM2 over KF1.

What I tried is KC1 (or KB8) -> KF1 kernel -> KM2.

So you can try KF1 -> KM2 directly, if you get "media" error then flash KF1 kernel or come back to full KF1.

Note that flashing KM2 from my link will keep all you data as a bonus (because it was grabbed from Kies).

As for speed, I think all firmwares are more or less the same.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Please don't. Your firmware is newer.

thx andrewin. :D

do You know if with this new firmware does it support the TVs out function?

I heard that is is not supported by HW.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hi, this firmware support ad-hoc wifi?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Vampfy:
andrewin thanks a lot for this fix. I used the kernel you provided and flashed KC1, then upgraded to KM2 just as you suggested.

It's such a shame that such steps were needed from firmware obtained at samfirmware..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sliverz:
This works!...

your comments should be a sticky!...

I was trying to improve my gps signal (messing a bit with the root explorer), but got my tabs on the infinite boot loop.

I use the Europe firmware and add the hk kernel...

no more infinite boot, no more process error, no more fixed time location.

samfirmware not related to samsung -> no shame.

Hi Guys,

I lost my 7 PRo one night. I am not in hope of finding it, but I do not want thief to profit from the occasion.

I have the IMEI number still at hand. Is there anything that can be done?

(NB: I did not have a phone/sim lock on the phone and the thief deleted the findmyphone function WP7 has)

Many thanks in advance,

[HTC Inspire 4G] PJSkiboy:
Thought I'd post a little seller review for CellularAccessory.com where I have placed an order for the Otterbox Commuter case for my HTC Inspire 4G.

I placed the order back on April 21st. I ran across this site while using Google's shopping link when looking for one of these. They had it for the best price at the time for $20.95 w/ $3 s/h. Thought I was getting a decent deal at the time. (Shipping via USPS, probably not the best decision in hindsight.)

Their website indicated it was in stock.

I placed the order that night, got an email the next day on April 22nd that the order went through, indicating that it had an estimated ship date of April 22nd (Friday). No tracking number in this email, I expected one the same day or possibly even the following Monday. Still haven't received an updated email with this information.

Today is May 1st and I have yet to receive the case nor an update email from them.

I obviously will be calling them tomorrow morning to inquire about my purchase, but in hindsight, I would have spent the typical extra $10 (most sites sell this case for $30) to have gotten this case in a timely fashion.

Regardless if this thing shows up from them tomorrow or not, I will not be doing business with this seller again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rayb1966:
Me Also

:mad: The same thing happened to me. on the site it said in stock and my follow up email stated back ordered will ship in 1-2 weeks. I wrote an email back stating that if it wasn't in stock then I would like a refund. I never got a response. When I checked my paypal account the ammount had been taken out. If I don't get it this week I will be contacting them on this matter. They will take care of it. ;)

They sent me a reply and stated that it was clearly marked as backordered. BS, I would have never ordered it. I'm done with them.

I got a refund!

[Galaxy S II General] cliffahn:
So my problem is this.

On other android phones I normally would go to the gallery, select multiple photos, and then click share with, and then choose gmail, voila done.

But for some reason on my Galaxy S2, this doesn't work. I've tried using astro, I've tried doing it from within the gmail app itself, and from the gallery. None of these allow me to select multiple files at once for attachment. The only thing I can do at the moment is select one at a time and attach multiple files that way. Doable, but most definitely annoying. Any solutions?

Note: I'm using a korean SKT branded Galaxy S2 running 2.3.3

Okay... well I'm officially mentally challenged. I guess it changed since i used froyo.

Now you press More, then Send Via.

Then Gmail pops up.

Hopefully this'll help someone else who was confused like me..
[Galaxy S II General] Norfeldt:
THANK YOU!!! :)

It makes absolutely no sense that they changed the behavior to be a hidden function. Why should "Share via" and "More/Share via" be different? Makes no sense.. hope they fix that..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PaAra:
My SGS died yesterday, completely dead. Dont react to charging, nothing. I rooted it as soon as I bought it and used Darkyy ROM, but flashed it with samsungs stock 2.3.3 room after formating it a couple a days back.

Will Samsung be able to detect that I rooted it earlier? and refuse warrenty. It was not "rooted" at the time it died.

Best regards,

Edit: The "death" was unrelated to any flashing/rooting/installing. It was just lying on the table, when the screen got a bluish hue and then when I pulled the battery (wouldnt react) it was dead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] imsid:
does it go in download mode or recovery mode ????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PaAra:
Nope, it wont react to anything. Absolutely no signs of life no matter what I do. Battery is charged, or at least it was when it died.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Warranty as Samsung have not released 2.3.3 its a custom rom .

No warranty chargeable repair .

Act dumb just say it died and hope for the best .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PaAra:
I downloaded the firmware from samfirmware.com, I thought that was the original one. Ooopppsss :/

Crap, but I think this is a hardware failure.

Edit: This is from their site:

Q: When i use one of your firmwares and i flash my phone, do i lose my quarantee?

A: Yes and no, if you do it right there will be no problems about guarantee

but if phone get brick under flash you will lose it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drreality:
first, can u get download/recovery modes at all

second have u tried the usb jig

now according to my understanding if the reason was hardware failure -as u suggest, it doesnt matter if u rooted the device or not as long as it is under the warranty time :D

so its their responsibility to repair it for u. having said that, if they could boot the device on its current situation they might start *****ing with u.

finally, my advise is to make sure that it is unrecoverable in any mean before sending it

hope that i helped & good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valinorian:
Just act really dumb. Dont tell them anything. Just say it just stopped working. If they ask you what firmware is on it ( which they wont but you never know) just say you updated a while back using KIES and you dont know what firmware it is, just that you think its the latest.

But if they dont ask anything, well dont tell them anything right :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PaAra:
Shouldn't be to hard ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
I thought that 2.3.3 was briefly released on Kies, then pulled off again? I know it was only available in a few areas, and for a short time at that.... but that does mean that it is possible to have it legitimately. (can someone else confirm this memory is correct?)

Probably worth trying a jig if you want to be sure it isn't easily fixable. If that doesn't work, then you are probably looking at a new mainboard so current rom would be irrelevant.

(do a search on forums for jig... It is a USB plug with a resistor inside that switches unit into a special mode.)

But I'd think you were safe to send it in, with only a pretty low chance of them wanting to charge you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rat2000:
And what do u mean by backup of your original firmware? spoof kies to instal the firmware based on your product code?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nwsk:
Just send it in and act dumb.. If it really is a serious hardware fault like you suggest, it's unlikely they would be able to find out what firmware you have installed anyway :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
I would take the risk as well .

One user last week was turned away from a warranty claim due to a custom rom on his phone .

Hardware failure guess service may never boot the phone .

Non hardware failure or if service boots the phone then not much you can do about it if rejected for warranty .

Safest is to have a back up of original firmware but nobody seems to consider that .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robogo1982:
I have a friend who works for HTC in a repair centre. Don't know about Samsung, but he says they (in his centre) rarely check the software version of the phone, eventually they reflash it with stock firmware and that's it.

From what I've read, it does seem like a hardware malfunction. Send it in for repair and tell them it just died :D
