This is my experience as well, it does charge or at least maintain very close in spite of the battery with a red X on it. For my test, started off at 83% - indicates discharging in the status screens. Played netflix for 5-10 minutes. Stopped came back, it was at 85%.

So in spite of everywhere it indicates discharging, it is in fact charging while plugged into USB.
[Galaxy Tab General] toonvox:
Hmm. Is there a difference between DL'ing the file and renaming it update.zip - and SAVING it as update.zip when you DL it? I did the latter. I'm guessing there's no difference, but I'll try doing the former now.
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Quad is up by 300. No real ui updates. Disappointed.
[Galaxy Tab General] snarfattak:
That would be bizarre if there was a difference, but I did the former with my tab connected via USB and the storage connected.
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
It shouldn't matter, should still work either way, just ultimately has to be named update.zip for the stock recovery to see it.

I have the WOOT sprint G tab.

I am trying to flash back to stock EA24. however i think i bricked my phone.

now i am getting a "phone triangle computer" picture on the phone and it wont do anything.. from there i have been trying to flash with odin

i installed that sprint drivers, opened odin, select the 512 pit file, select the correct binary under the "pda" option, select re-partition. but every time it gets only to this stage and fails, it also failed like this when i was in download mode.

i then have to shut the phone off and turn it back on for odin to work at all.

kinda scared i screwed my self here.
[Galaxy Tab General] snowjumpstump:
I just downloaded as is. I should mention that I visited the page with the download link on my Tab and clicked the link to download it directly to the device.

It downloaded into the "download" folder on my SD card, I then cut and pasted it to the root using the "My files" app on the Tab.

I then used Adao File Manager to rename it to "update.zip." Powered off the device, then held Volume Up + Power, went into recovery, chose update.zip, and then pressed the Home button to select it.

After a few minutes, it booted up. I checked the "About My GalaxyTab" option in Settings, and sure enough Firmware version is 2.3.4.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab General] EatKeyLimePie:
Any chance you previously renamed or deleted the sprintandroid APK to disable sprint activation notification? If so try changing that file back to its original state.
[Galaxy Tab General] toonvox:
This is essentially what I have done, but I got the crash and burn as outlined in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15407978&postcount=277
[Galaxy Tab General] toonvox:
I'm not aware that I've done that. To bypass the data service, I throw it into airplane mode and turn the wi-fi on.

EDIT: In fact, I know it's still there because I got the nag to activate yesterday.
[Galaxy Tab General] EatKeyLimePie:
But prior to this at some point did you attempt to disable sprint activation,by renaming or moving the sprint android apk in the root/system folder? It looks like your update hung on this file.
[Galaxy Tab General] snowjumpstump:
Sorry you're having a problem. The strange (or maybe normal) thing is that when I selected to flash update.zip, it showed the screen with the Android robot and the exclamation point (if I remember correctly), but there wasn't any text going across the screen as is common when I've flashed custom ROMs on my Eris.

There was just that graphic and then a long progress bar.

I had heard that some people were also having issue around the 30% percent mark so I was carefully watching it there, but it got past it and once it reached the end rebooted with no issue.

I wonder what else could be causing the install error for you?
[Galaxy Tab General] kwscott:
Okay - I am doing things I didn't even know existed. Thanks so much. I am back at EB24 and the update to GB failed just as stated. Now, how do I get 28? I only have access to wifi for any downloads. I feel like I am almost over the last rise and can almost see the finish line! :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] egofreak:
I was diving through the update files and wondered how EXACTLY all these root exploits work? It looks like we could just patch the update and flash it, but I assume thats why the boot loaders are protected(are they?).

oneclicks we know are down, but if any dev would show us how they make these exploits from older versions of android, the community would be better equipped to fend for themselves.
[Galaxy Tab General] cmoreno911:
when i go to update via recovery, the progress bar stops about halfway and then it tells me

assert failed: file_getprop('/system/build.prop", 'ro.build.fingerprint') == "sprint/SPH-P100/SPH-P100/SPH-P100:2.2.1/FROYO/EB28:user/release-keys" // file_getprop('/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "sprint/SPH-P100/SPH-P100:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/EF17:user/release-keys"

E:Error in /mnt/sdcard/update.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted

any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] egofreak:
what steps did you take?

unless you reflashed to ea24,then let your tab update to ea28, its not going to work 100% of the time.
[Galaxy Tab General] toonvox:
It's obviously a problem with the SprintAndroidExtension.apk app. I'll search for a fix for it and post an update.
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Re download and try again if you can get to recovery.
[Galaxy Tab General] snarfattak:
You modified your build.prop file at some point.... restore your backup and try again. If you can't find your backup, you'll have to use the process of flashing back to ea24 and upgrade from there. (I could send you my backup if you want to avoid that process.)
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
Just leave your tab on with wifi and the 3g radio on, it'll pull the update automatically (only took me 5 min after going back to stock EA24 and booting up to get the system update notice.)
[Galaxy Tab General] toonvox:
I must have been drinking during the last few months - though I'll likely deny that too.

The SprintAndroidExtension.apk was not in the /system/app folder. It was indeed on my sdcard, so I must have indeed moved it sometime along the way. The update ran...no interruption...it's rebooting...(I know this takes a while)...

And liftoff. EF17, Android 2.3.4. Yes! Thanks, all!

I can officially say that for now, I'll miss Titanium Backup and Root Explorer. But I can watch Netflix while I'm waiting for root. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] citrusfizz:
wrong thread
[Galaxy Tab General] c0rp:
I wrote an email to Samsung asking them when the wifi only tab will get an update and i recieved an interesting answer.

Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the following assistance. Kindly be informed that the upgrade to the Android 2.3 ‘Gingerbread’ is neither released Galaxy Tablet ‘GT-P1000’ nor for the Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi , but it is released only to the Galaxy Ne ‘GT-I9020’ and also for the Galaxy S ‘GT-I9000’...
[Galaxy Tab General] kwscott:
pvtjoker42 - you were correct...As soon as I signed into google the upgrade was there - EB28 installed fine. While I was sitting at EB24 I was getting exactly the same error as cmoreno911. I then upgraded to Gingerbread and it worked! You guys are good...and, thanks for sharing with us.
[Galaxy Tab General] snarfattak:
I thought it was typical for customer support everywhere to provide outdated and useless information...
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
Now, that is funny!!! Interesting how 1 hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing.

Apparently, this Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab Gingerbread update that Sprint has been talking about, or that some have received OTA wasn't supposed to happen? Or Support didn't receive the memo about a Major release today..

Just funny, in my head anyways...
[Galaxy Tab General] powermatt:
I can confirm this update works perfectly on my tab. Got tired of waiting for mine to get picked.

-edit-

Original post is on page #14 for reference.
[Galaxy Tab General] ryancpwalsh:
Me too. I was rooted eb24 - did ota to ed28 (lost root), downloaded the update zip file, booted to recovery (stock), and applied a renamed update.zip.
[Galaxy Tab General] iKarido:
I can confirm this working on my WiFi only tab. was on stock rom and just updated it via stock recovery. now im on GB!!
[Galaxy Tab General] valdorama:
Sorted. Followed the advice of previous users and used a separate (smaller, 2GB) SD card that I presume was not SDHC, and it worked first time. Didn't even need to format it.
[Galaxy Tab General] nev310:
change the name of the update when downloading not after

i saved the download as update.zip when i was downloading it and it worked so if you are having a problem save it as update.zip when downloading the file.
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
So far I have found that my tab is running crisper and more responsive. I'm liking the update so far.
[Galaxy Tab General] chefdave12118:
I keep getting "No Firmware update is available". I'm in NY. Anyone else getting this? Also when I press Update Android it says "Your system is currently up to date (2.2.1)". Should I do a factory reset or just wait. I am no longer rooted (28).

Thanks in advance,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Download the file and flash it yourself
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
Guys,

Can anyone please give me a link for ODIN driver? My Windows 7 64BIT can not find the driver,

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab General] chefdave12118:
I can do that but why no ota yet?
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Check out thr Sprint tab thread in general
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Cant help with that
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
Those that flashed with ODIN,

How long did it stay on "modem.bin" ?

Mine sits there for nearly 10 min,

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] chefdave12118:
Thanks anyway! I've only done one ota and that was with my og evo for froyo(forgot how that all went down due to me being a flashaholic) . Just want to see ota for my tab for gingerbread. Everything else I've flashed like a mad man.
[Galaxy Tab General] oscarthegrouch:
Almost a brick. That's emergency download mode. You better make sure it flashes next time. I suggest reboot the computer and use a different USB port. Disable everything on the computer. No antivirus, **** like that. You don't know if something else is interferring with the flashing. Only put reboot check mark and tar in PDA section of Odin. No pit, no other options check marked. Try installing the pdanet program on the computer so it can use those drivers. Uninstall the 64 bit drivers and install 32 bit if you're installing the Samsung USB drivers for phones. Try downloading ea24 again. Take the .md5 off the image file so its a tar.
[Galaxy Tab General] dallastx:
As mentioned the easiest way to do a problem free upgrade is to use a new or reformatted "nothing on it" micro sd card...It will always work!
[Galaxy Tab General] egofreak:
you removed the cable IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLASH? no it wasnt frozen, it just takes a second.

you may or may not have bricked it. can you put it back in to download mode?(vol down+power) and reflash. I think you are in emergency download(possible?idk) if so you better hope it takes that second flash.
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
Guys! You all have no idea how happy i am right now!!!

Long story short,

I bought my tab on Craigslist about 4 months ago, ROOTED, did not mess with anything else, apparently previous owner did something to it, it would not have installed ANY updates, but i didnt care,

This morning i wanted to update to Gingerbread but kept getting errors so decided to flash E24 with Odin, I did, but i forgot to remove BIN files from ODIN folder when i downloaded, so when i flashed, it went to emergency mode, by this time im freaking out! You can imagine my stress, college kid, with no extra cash to throw on a new tab,

Thanks to good folks on forum, i decided to flash E24 AGAIN, only this time i pulled my old Acer with Win XP, and made sure that ODIN and TAR files were in ONE folder, with nothing else!

Behold, in 5 min I was on E24, in another minute i was on E28, and another two minutes i am on Gingerbread!

Thank you all for putting up with me!
[Galaxy Tab General] jay2o01:
i dunno.. im super unlucky i guess.. i tried with a spare formatted 2gb sd card i had lying around and no luck. tried with the 16 gb that came with my tab, no dice there either. followed the instructions to a t, renamed to update.zip (saved directly as update.zip also) copied to root and tried to install from recovery. im unrooted and on eb28... keep getting the android with the triangle exclamation point.

any other ideas? or am I waiting for the official rollout
[Galaxy Tab General] egofreak:
hey if anyone has the sdk instaled in ubuntu, wouldnt they just need to follow this guide

https://sites.google.com/site/teamdroidconcepts/experimental/compile/i-adding-root

to recompile us a rom with root and su?

and then make a custom recovery...but thats another bag of chips...
[Galaxy Tab General] big_redfox:
Upgrade is simple for me

I have EB28 on my tab and rooted. Upgrading is simple for me:

(1) copy the zip file to root of sdcard as update.zip.

(2) Shutdown the tab

(3) Boot into recovery mode by holding home and volume up keys at same time and then press power button (do not release the home and volume up key) until recovery menu shows up

(4) Use volume up/down to select the update.zip file and hit home button as "enter"

(5) The little Android shows up with a progress bar. The upgrade process should take no more than a few minutes

(6) The tab would reboot itself after upgrading (noticed the Samsung logo would stay there a lot longer than regular boot).

(7) You are done.

The tab is no longer rooted. I hope this would be a temporary thing.
[Galaxy Tab General] DigitalElement:
I was running the latest froyo version rooted with super one click and was having trouble flashing the update found in this thread. I dug up an old sd card, formated it via the tab, threw the file on the root of it and flashed from there. Worked perfectly that way. No need to unroot or mess around with anything else. Once you boot back up you can then put your original card back in and everything is back to normal.

Performance with the update seems MUCH better, just like when I went to CM 7 on my Aria. The netflix app works great, which was my primary goal. Haven't tried much else yet, but definitely happy so far!
[Galaxy Tab General] x4gvnferdy:
would this work? I haven't messed with my compiler yet, but i wuld like to have a reason to try it out!
[Galaxy Tab General] 00r101:
For those that had previously rooted and changed your wpa supplicant file. You will need to put the original file back in system/bin or the update chokes.
[Galaxy Tab General] cmoreno911:
manually applying the update was not working for me, but I just received it ota and for whatever reason, it worked. I'm in Raleigh, NC btw
[Galaxy Tab General] ranchosteve:
Thanks guys, gb here :)
[Galaxy Tab General] chefdave12118:
I bought my Sgt from craigslist (actually traded my ipad1 for it), and the guy said he never rooted it.... But who really knows. He did a factory reset before we traded so everything was back to stock. I got it home and rooted it right away for the wifi tethering. I was going to mess around with spacemooses roms but all this Odin, shmoodin, 64 bit, etc. talk got me spooked. I haven't heard any of those terms flashing my og evo, nook color or evo 3d for that matter. My question is..... Should I do a factory reset now that I'm not rooted anymore to get the ota? Or should I root again and try all this spooky Odin 64 bit XP stuff? Lol :) Also do I need cwm to flash this most recent update? If all I have to do is root and put file on SD without all the spooky stuff I'm in business. Thanks to anyone that answers my dopey questions.
[Galaxy Tab General] Veereihen6:
Is it me, or does the GPS lock on a lot quicker with the GB update?
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
If you read a few pages back, i was in EXACTLY the same place, got my tabby off Craigslist, the guys said he never did anything to it, but for some reason i could not get E28 update, and everytime i tried the Gingerbread update it failed,

Here is what i suggest:

1. Download the update for Gingerbread, rename it to update.zip and put on your SD card, then start with (Power + Vol UP) and choose 'Apply Update.Zip' option, see if that does anything, if it fails, you can clear CASHE, and do a factor reset, and try again UPDATE.ZIP, if it fails try several SD cards (i tried 4 different cards)

2. If by this time you could not have installed Update.ZIP then chanses are the guy screwed up something on your tab, flash with ODIN, I managed to Softbrick my tab :( but thanks to good people here i managed to revert it back...

For ODIN, better find an XP machine, make sure no antivirus installed or disable it, give it a fresh restart, if you are on Win7 64big look back a few pages you will find someone put ODIN for 64BIT, when you boot up odin, put the downloaded flasher for sprint in the same folder as odin, and make sure, MAKE SURE, there arent any other files, i screwed up here, there was a BIN file when i got ODIN and it messed me up, make sure its just ODIN and TAR file in ONE folder, Once you are in ODIN, select PDA and select TAR file, thats it, nothing else, (oh and i assume you have applied the driver that came in the Flasher for sprint ZIP folder), boot your tab (POWER + VOL DOWN), after it booted, connect to your computer (ODIN is already opened), and just click START, and patinely wait,

* It hanged the first time i tried (30min), but its because i had BIN files in ODIN folder

* Second time i tried, it took a little over 5 minutes,

Once you have successfully applied the flasher, it will boot up normally, and once you connected to WIFI the E28 update will load on its own,

Once you have applied E28, you can not boot (Power + Vol Up) and try to apply the update.zip,

It took me a little over 4 hours, many bad cursing words, lots of freaking out and patience to figure it out,

Enjoy
[Galaxy Tab General] joeamateur:
You may want to wait. I just got the OTA update this morning. I'm in Mississippi. My Galaxy Tab was on E28 and un-rooted before updated. I don't have a 3G plan with Sprint. The OTA update worked via Wifi. You don't have to do a factory reset. The OTA update was completed without a factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab General] Simians84:
Similar problem

I'm having a very similar problem as this, but with the Sprint_App_Updater.apk file. I have root and I accidentally deleted the file without backing it up. I tried to get another copy from the Internet to replace it and still had the same problem, so I wiped it and restored it using the factory reset option on the screen where I tried to update it in hopes that it would restore the Spring_App_Updater file, but it's still hanging up at the same file. Any ideas on how best to fix this or am I hosed? Also tried it with a clean SD card, but it was no help.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
[Galaxy Tab General] chefdave12118:
Sweet! Thanks man!
[Galaxy Tab General] Simians84:
I'm in Raleigh too with a Woot-Tab. I'm wondering if it will update if I have it on airplane mode.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
Anyone else getting the "This is not an original copy of" message on Gameloft games after using the update posted here (on page 14 I think)?

So far that is the only problem I have.

Netflix works, Tab is faster, mouse and keyboard now work.

[Galaxy Tab General] matt9023:
Is anyone else getting a "The Firmware update could not be completed..Error: No Service Error?

Manually applying the GB update wouldnt work for me either.. any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Edit: seems like it may have something to do with the 3g.. I had it on but the device isnt activated. I also had wifi on.

But when I turn off 3g with wifi on it gives me a connection error. And in airplane mode with wifi on it tells me to turn off airplane mode.
[Galaxy Tab General] LordFuzzy024:
Update on Page 14 worked perfectly for me. I'm running Stock but rooted Sprint Galaxy Tab.

1. Downloaded

2. Renamed to update.zip

3. Copied file over to device

4. Shut down device

5. Booted into recovery (Volume up and Power)

6. Selected update.zip from recovery

7. Installed just fine.

8. Initial Boot at Samsung screen hung for at least 3 minutes.

9. Update complete running full Gingerbread on Galaxy Tab 7.

Now time to figure out root access.

Has anyone looked at this. http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-on-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/

EDIT: The link above is for Andorid 2.3.3 instead of our new update of 2.3.4, Sorry
[Galaxy Tab General] ryancpwalsh:
I believe the vulnerability that allowed for this in 2.3.3 was patched in 2.3.4.

Looking forward to when someone figures out how to root our new stock build though - the performance on the Sprint GB ROM is phenomenal.
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:

Similar problem

Just a quick update. I downloaded another Sprint Updater and still no luck. I noticed the version was 1.1, not sure if this has anything to do with the issue. Anyone know what version should be there or anything else I can do to fix it short of just backing up and then moving forward again?

[Galaxy Tab General] zebradude:
I was one of the people that bought a woot tab and I tried to get the month to month plan and 3 stores said no such plan and I called in today and was talking to employee sales (I'm a SERO customer) and even they would not allow me to go to the month to month plan. What magic wand do I need to use. I really need the access for just for 30 days.

A off topic question if I enter into a 2 year contract can I get out in 30 days even though I am bringing my own equipment to the table? I would hate to be that deceptive but they are forcing my hand.
[Galaxy Tab General] popart:
If you have any gameloft games that dont work, just uninstall apk and reinstall and game will work, at least they did for me
[Galaxy Tab General] sbiller1:
Does anyone else find it odd that the EB28 update.zip posted here includes:

1) the "Kernel version" line shows two lines with k.sridhar@sep-33 #2 on the 2nd line

2) the Build Number line below that says "GINGERBREAD.EF17" instead of SPH-P100.EF17 - which would be more in line with the current value of SPH-P100.EB28

Question was posted over on the Sprint forums. I was wondering the same thing myself after installing the via the update.zip file.
[Galaxy Tab General] DigitalElement:
I noticed that too and was definitely curious. Is it showing up the same for the OTA update people?
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
the update.zip IS the OTA update, i just pulled it from /cache and uploaded it to share. There shouldn't be any difference.
