On windows click on the file and then you will be able to rename the file.

Just take out .md5 in the end and let it end with .tar

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ktran1588:
Do this first on your computer to see the full extension of the file. Go to Control Panel/Folder Option (In Win 7 under Appearance and Personalization)/View tab/ and uncheck "Hide extension for known file types"

After that just click on rename the file and delete the .md5

Hope this help
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ktran1588:
No it will not work. I tried this and some other CF method too. The Tab bootloader will not recognize these kernel and will not boot up. Guess we will have to wait for an exploit on 2.3.4
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ktran1588:
If you have 2.3.3 stay there. There is no root yet for 2.3.4

worked perfectly

didnt want to update from my unrooted stock eb28, flashing back to 24 and then updating and flashing worked.

thanks for the instructions
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ktran1588:
That is weird. Don't freak out. Download the whole EA24 Flasher folder again in case the other one is corrupted. Google for ODIN 1.3 (That's what I used). Put your tab in download mode ( Volume down + Power). Plug in, open EA24 folder and install the USB driver. Now delete the .md5 to .tar and COPY it to the ODIN 1.3. Run ODIN by RIGHT CLICK AND CHOOSE "Run as Administrator". Click PDA and choose the .tar file. Press start and see it that work...

Good luck!

Quick update:

The browser now works blazingly fast, not just that it loads pages much faster, but it seems to be taking full advantage of the GPU as its so iPadly smooooth!

Also, although stock 2.3.4 UI might be optimized, I'm going to say that Touchwiz is untouched when it comes to being optimized.

Frikin Boo Samsung, just. . . Just Booo(bs)

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] galexandr:
Make sure you have the flasher and odin in tge same folder, and NO OTHER files in that folder, i got stuck because there was a .bin file

Let me know how it goes, i had the same happen to me yeaterday

I would like to start on stripping out the GB for sprint, but i need a system dump.

Can someone do a full dump and pm me when youre done, and i can get you ftp access to upload it?

I would if we had access to CWM :(

Sorry.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mastermindg:
Followed steps to the letter...stuck at hboot on eb28...not doing anything!

Should I be doing something here? Says vol toggles to apply but nothing is happening....formatted two sdcards...this is the second one.

Edit: Nevermind...was going into download mode instead of recovery...applied update. Thanks.

Tab Updated

Thank you to the OP for posting this. I had taken my tab back to stock a couple weeks ago in preparation for this update. Copied the update.zip to my sdcard (16GB Samsung-no format for me), rebooted recovery, and flashed. No problems at all. I do agree with others that the Ginger update has seemed to smooth out a lot of things on the tab.

Thanks again to the OP and Samsung (for actually releasing an update...finally).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pvtjoker42:
I was wondering the same thing if there was a way to pull this, clean it up.. maybe dump the superuser files in, and then odin the tar back once it's cleaned up..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ktran1588:
Try that and let us know it that work. I think you will run into signature problem of the files.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pvtjoker42:
decided to break down and throw a linux VM together for my own crash course into kernel compiling and hacking together a functional rom.. lets see how bad i crash and burn.. ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lphillips80:
Frustrated

I just tried to flash back to EA24 and it didnt take. It gets stuck at recovery.bin. i used odin 1.3 I ran it as administrator. i also had it in the odin folder. i removed the md5 extension to make sure it only had the extension .tar. the repartion was unchecked. i also redownloaded the EA24 flasher thought it might have been corrupted and still gets stuck at recovery.bin in odin. I read through the forum and some people are having the same problem but looks like they still havent solved the issue.

Any ideas would be greatly appeciated.

well, my issue is im on stock, ea24 without a data plan, and i get the notification to update to ea28.. so i restart and it begins to load, then i get that blasted triangle and it reboots, into ea24... iv reflashed countless times, and iv switched sd cards and wiped those, i want gingerbread, help!!

Edit- I finnaly got Odin to worked. Then iput in the stock SD card. Wellah:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
What kind of backup? Like nandroid? I would but the method for installing cwm and the accompanying kernel is for froyo not gingerbread. If there is another method let me know and I will do it. I haven't read all the threads for this so I am more than willing to be corrected and pointed in the right direction. I am also willing to test any theories that might acheice this. Also, someone asked for a system dump. I will do that if someone can tell me how.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pvtjoker42:
I did an ADB pull of /system, but the rooted rom came out and I stopped messing with cleaning it up and trying to odin the cleaned up tar. someone else also did a system dump via ADB and posted a link.. not sure if anyone still needs this...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
Me neither. Not sure how it got here but rooted is rooted. We can mess with those files but the format is different. I'm working on a comparison to see if I can find and major differences. One thing I noticed is the odex file names. I sure would like to change the interface.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
I was able to mount the factoryfs.rfs last night and I think I can make some progress on it along with you. Add me to your Google+ a jkirk777@gmail.com and we can work together a bit. I'd like to see it more generic and thinner with different included apps. I should have new .tar tonight without facebook, with the AOSP clock and Netflix etc... Once I get that working I plan on changing some theme elements for sure. It might give us something to do while the real devs work on things that matter. ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kamgrn:
Im new at this .. first time using ODIN and flashing and ... These instructions worked like a charm!! No deviation, exactly as described!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] clem3:
The backup file you make when installing another rom...which allows you too flash again thru recovery like clockwork ... make sure you delete your personal info like gmail etc. Make backup using clockwork ... find the clockwork file ... in restore folder ... upload it so we can enjoy.. I will hit the thanks button ...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
I'm not using cwm. I haven't wanted to change the kernel but if anyone can point me to a GB kernel that works right now I'll do it. The best thing I can do now is dump /system or work with the factoryfs.rfs and make it workable with Odin. I just finished tar and am about to flash. News at 11.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fredrik949:
Hi I have a stock sprint galaxy 7 tab. When I first got the tab it was working fine, but after doing the OTA update it has not been working right. It randomly freezes and restarts. I am guessing something went wrong with the update. I am trying to re-install the original ROM that came with it and I think this is the one.

My questions is since it is a non rooted tab do I still need to do the first steps in the original post?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fredrik949:
OK, so the first steps backdate the ROM to the previous version?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
Yes. The intention of this thread is to get custom rom/kernel/radio users back to stock. Do the first set of steps. My personal opinion is of course ROOT IT. I use the 1n1tia|c0nt4ct rom and love it. All the good of Samsung, little of the bad. And unroot is eazy peazy.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fredrik949:
OK I am following teh instructions in OP and I got Odin3 V1.3 running and I boot the tablet into recovery while hooked up to my PC, but then nothing happens. Is there anything else I need to do to get Odin to see my tablet? This is all I see:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
OK a couple things I don't see in the op. You must have the drivers installed. Usually KIES does that so get KIES. Next, it works best if you open ODIN then plug the USB into the phone. If you've done that and still no joy I'd make sure you're not using a sub grade charging cable. Some USB cables don't do data properly because they are for charging only. Good luck captain. (Not recovery mode bro, download mode. DL mode is press and hold volume down and power until you see the construction worker.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
And MAKE SURE only reboot is checked!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fredrik949:
OK thanks you are correct I was missing drivers and I was going into recovery not download. Now it gets stuck on setup connection:

just saw your last post, so do I need to unchecked F.Reset Time ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fredrik949:
got it to work, thanks sent for your help.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
Glad to help. Unless ODIN does something bad, like re-partition, you can USUALLY try things a couple times and they will succeed. It's a little scary, but pretty reliable.

We all know Microsoft is on a roll to make patent licensing agreements with Android OEMs. Since last week, Microsoft have announced 4 such deals without disclosing the amount of royalty involved. Today Reuters that Microsoft is demanding about $15 per Android device from Samsung, one of the largest android OEM in the world. Microsoft is also ready to lower the royalty amount if Samsung agrees with some deeper alliance related to Windows Phone smartphone making. Microsoft signed similar deal with HTC last year, Will Samsung also join the fray soon? I hope Samsung agrees with Microsoft on the later deal of less royalty amount for Android devices and more Windows Phone smartphones. Also analysts predict Samsung to ship about 19 million smartphones this quarter, if the deal is done Microsoft will get about $1 Billion IP licensing revenue from Samsung alone in a year...

Now that is a beautiful puzzle, they've already released the most user friendly and in my opinion best is on the market and now they're putting a squeeze on the big name android OEMs to eliminate some of the competition. I love this, now just throw in some good marketing and well have the trifecta of a perfect operating system.
[General Topics] OdinF1R3:
Leave it to Microsoft to try to take over! Company wars are so much more exciting than politics lol. Can't wait to see how this race produces!
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Eh, they want their piece of the pie and if someone was using my tech to make money I would too.
[General Topics] xaccers:
They'll just weigh up the balance between paying a small amount to make a phone that will actually sell running a decent OS, or the costs of developing the minimum number of WP7 handsets to sit unsold in a warehouse while paying a smaller amount to make a phone that will actually sell running a decent OS.

It's a bit like supermarkets and loss leaders, will the loss on WP7 be less than the gain on paying not quite as much to make Android handsets that actually sell.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
What tech did MS actually contribute to Android? Or better asked: What unique tech worthy of a patent did MS come up with? Most of these patents fall into the category where every even remotely seasoned developer can come up with the stuff. Of course we can't know for sure, because MS never actually discloses which patents are involved here. Because they know full well it wouldn't stand up to public scrutiny.

And that's assuming software patents make sense in the first place. Which they don't.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
They really don't but hey, I don't make those rules. It doesn't matter who can make it now, it's who created it first.

xaccers, you're fighting a losing battle, I'm just going to sit idly by and watch my OS actually improve rather than pallet swap, man I love being lag free.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
So you just accept the rules, no matter what they are. The abuse of the legal system (attack smaller firms who don't have the resources to fight first in order to create a precedent), the mafia-style protection racket (pay up or else), the obviousness of the patents, the very ridiculousness of even having software patents, all that is ok. Because the rules are the rules, right?

So do I dude, so do I. Though I must say, that is some very, very narrow criteria for choosing an entire operating system.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
In cases where I think the rules are not too far fetched. I mean hell, if they did it first they have a right. As far as google not having the resources that's their own fault, iOS just did it first because they run their company with force rather than being laid back and just stealing info

Not at all but it certainly helps, I like having a phone that does everything I want without having to install any apps at all and without having to flash a new rom every 2-3 days. I love xbox live, I love a well implemented office, I love the keyboard, I love that the DVP despite it's weak processor is the most impressive piece of hardware out there for mobile devices, I like the hubs, I like zune, there's just nothing wrong with all of it. It is not flawless, but it's as close as a mobile OS comes.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
You can't honestly believe that they aren't far fetched in this case.

Do you know why patents were created for? And what they're used for in reality nowadays? And in particular the nature of software patents? If you really believe what you just wrote, the clear answer to those questions is "no".

But what exactly is it that they did first? It's like I said, trivial things that any seasoned developer can come up with. Being the first to wrap it up in tons of legalese to be granted a patent on it is not an admirable achievement. Patents only make sense for things that are unique, where it took a lot of effort to come up with something new.

That's just the thing, MS *didn't* attack Google. They attacked small companies releasing Android products. HTC was the biggest and now Samsung is even bigger. But they're taking on Samsung only after the precedent was set with the smaller companies. That's abuse of the legal system.

Wow, hyperbole much? I have all that on Android. And I'm not flashing every two days. That I choose to replace some apps with other ones was just that - my choice. Choice is good. It means competition. It means people vying to create the best music player, the best video player, the best... well, you get the picture.

And what do you know, I have the lag-free interface too.
[General Topics] GnatGoSplat:
I guess if your product can't compete on its own merits, this is one way to go about it.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
If more of the community was more intelligent then Microsoft would have no issues, sadly it's not the case. No one does their research or looks into a phone before buying it. The majority of sales reps have never even used a windows phone 7 thanks to the plague that was winmo.
[General Topics] GnatGoSplat:
I know a lot of WP7 enthusiasts and blogs like to blame the sales reps, but I don't think sales reps are solely responsible for the 36% market gap.

I do have an HTC Surround I've been playing with, and you're right, it has no lag, but I honestly haven't seen anything that would make me choose it over iOS or Android. Probably the only thing I would miss is the cool XBox Live avatar guy I made.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
I guess it's to each their own. I like functionality, a smooth UI, and hardware selection. The office and xbox programs on mango are great, overall I think the only reason I ever enjoyed android was because I got to spend so much time screwing around.

Don't underestimate how much people like to screw around. I think that's the whole reason XDA exists in the first place. ;)
[General Topics] vbetts:
A lot of people are surprised Microsoft is doing this, but truth be told this is nothing new. Intel licenses out their instruction sets such as sse2, sse3, 3D Now! to Amd, nvidia, and Via. Companies do this all the time.
[General Topics] majorpay:
I wanted to like Microsoft, because hey, that's where all my stuff is (I'm an MS developer by trade as well). BUT, they fell short. Waaay short. Navigation, Voice commands, multitasking, the list was endless.

I have a few XBoxes and almost everything in my house is Windows based, but the phone won't sell me until I can firmly say: "I miss nothing on Android that I use every day."

Memory card needs power and its rit under bottom right side of ur phone (if screen is facing u) and there is no cover over card except phone back cover that ur holding, so data transfer makes memory card hot and u feel direct heat, i removed my card and it was so plesent after that. Try it if u must.
