It wouldn't hurt to try. Do a Nandroid backup and give it a shot. One thing I've learned on my SPH-P100 is that unlike Galaxy PHONES, when a Galaxy Tab is soft bricked (phone+exclamation+PC) you can still reload original stock rom with Odin as long as it's recognizing the pad which mine always has. No spending hours trying to get back to recovery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] djallen1:
LOL! True tho........

I am allready on EF-17 and I was wondering if I can Flash this and not lose my Data or Apps? By the way OP what is the Exploit for Root?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ORam78:
Fantastic! Worked perfectly! Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] X1088LoD:
You will NOT lose your data and apps. You can flash safely from EF17 stock.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ORam78:
Anyone else notice the rooted version will not charge on anything other than the usb plug adaptor. I get a red x over the battery when I plug into my laptop or my zagg....but if I plug it directly into an outlet, it charges...any ideas?

This just started on the update.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oscarthegrouch:
Everyone is experiencing this. It's unknown so far as to why this is.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Worked great for me. Now to figure out the netflix deal.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] etvaugha:
This happens with both rooted and non-rooted GB. Despite the red X over the battery, it is actually charging.

I flashed via Oden this morning. Smooth flash, didn't loose data/settings/apps, everything works - Root Explorer, Qik, Netflix, etc. etc...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
Did you get the file recommended in this thread? There's an HD version posted a few pages back that rocks. Its the last one on the list, had read or blue field and works great on my Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BubbaRob1978:
So to clarify, I just bought a Sprint version that has never been rooted. I currently have the official GB update installed. Am I good to use ODIN and flash this ROM without any other steps needed? I am not familiar with using ODIN. I have only used adb and CWM on my Thunderbolt and I don't want to mess it all up.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
I had the total update and flashed this with odin without any preliminary steps and all is well with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. Odin is simple for this job. You should be fine.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BubbaRob1978:
Thanks for the help. I have read through the ODIN guide but I am lost when it states to select the .PIT andd .PDA files. The rest seems easy enough. I just wonder since I can't remove the battery out of the Tab, is turning it off good enough I assume?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] djallen1:
Mine charges off the charger or USB port no problem with no 'x's', powered on or off. After a few app issues and no landscape mode, I wiped and loaded stock Sprint Froyo, let 28 load, didn't sync any accounts, then reloaded zhangqip's rom. Haven't had any issues at all since, everything is business as usual. Why that made a difference I don't know but all's well that ends well.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BubbaRob1978:
Ah...I got it, had to unzip the .rar (the file was in .rar format and not .tar) and found the .tar inside of it. Now I'm good to go. I love when the light bulbs suddenly turn on in my head...

*** Flashed and all is working great including Root Explorer ***

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Rollablunt420:
Root explorer confermed working!!

For all the people that are having trouble with root explorer just get the 2.16 version that worked great for me.

Now that tab is fully rooted lets get into the kitchen and start cooking up some roms!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] qubanaso:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kipghost:
I guess I should have mentioned to unzip the RAR file. Since I play a lot of board games, I'm good at explaining things in baby steps, but then again I seem to be also good at leaving a specific step out! :cool:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BubbaRob1978:
LOL...No problem.....I'm learning as I go. I enjoyed learning how to use ODIN.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] qubanaso:
does anyone know why on odin the comp doesnt show/

is it because i dont have the drivers installed?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ORam78:
Ok, I'm confused here. You discuss Froyo in this comment. You mean to tell me you reverted to stock froyo then flashed and didn't have the charging issue?

Regardless, I thought this was a known issue, so what makes this posters method so special? And yet I saw another post saying it is actually charging even with the x...so who is pulling my leg here..lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jdog_12345:
Yes. It works but no data.

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Tab running on the Sprint GB rom.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jdog_12345:
It works pretty good so far.

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Tab running on the Sprint GB rom.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
I don't know about pulling your leg but mine has the X when it's plugged into my computer AND it's charging. If I plug it into the Samsung charging module it has NO X and is charging. If I plug it into the EVO4G charging module it has the X AND is charging. I did all kinds of crazy flashing so it's a bit hard to recount but I think it went: Official update OTA, reverted bootloader then back to froyo, GB update from another thread twice with a failed attempt in there somewhere, then this ROM twice. I think it is established though that it can be charging even if the X is present.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] qubanaso:
Any one knows where I can get the modems to flash
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] The Rubenator:
Help

Its been almost 1/2 hour since I instal the file on my tab and it keeps on the samsung logo, what's should be my problem. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thatguy222:
Rubenator, are you on Verizon?

If so, then restore back to stock using this: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...84-how-restore-vzw-galaxy-tab-stock-dj11.html

I was stuck on the Samsung logo at first too, so I flashed back to stock then tried this ROM again and it worked perfectly.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] The Rubenator:
Thanks for the quick response, I have a sprint tab, can this one still work for me?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] The Rubenator:
On Sprint :confused:

market

my market doesnt fc but i keep getting download unsuccessful. i went under manage applications and cleared data but still cant download anything from the market. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stevenfong:
The galaxy tab has the different design in the charging module, it added to resistance in the charging module. If you added the two resistance in the usb cable, you can use any charging module or computer usb port to charge the tab without the x, but meanwhile this cable will only work as charging cable and will not sync date with the computer.

If you use the original cable with other normal usb charging module or computer usb port, the tab will show a "x" but it is truely in charging while the current is very small.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] big_redfox:
It rocks!

Dowloaded and installed the ROM and it rocks!

The Megaload download comes with Odin 1.85 also. If you have installed Kies and worked with your tab, the driver should already there. Just put the tab in download mode and Odin detects it right away.

One interesting observation is that when I checked build number after flashing it just shows "GINGERBREAD.EF17" instead of "QUENS.GINGERBREAD.EF17" as in the pic. Does anyone else notice this? I know the download is working since I got root.

[ROM][SPRINT] Stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 Update

The title says stock, but that's a good place to start. Once you fix it you can try the rooted update using odin.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] david7586:
I am a little confused and would appreciate some clarification.

There are many posts stating that the current gingerbread rom released by Sprint cannot be rooted and users will need to wait for a solution. I assume this method is the solution for anyone wanting to root their Sprint SGT as they can flash via odin, which does not need a custom recovery. You just need to get the phone into download mode and flash away. Is this right?

Thanks!

David
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jesand83:
Would you mind explaining the entire process you went through to get this onto your tab? I've been through the various threads enough times to make me go half blind and still can't find a procedure for putting this ROM on my VZW Tab. So far I have only rooted my tab, but I'm still on the original stock EC02 ROM.

Thanks

this is after my latest build. also original browser and facebook keeps FC. Market cant download from.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] siacotos:
Its supposed to charge at 2000mah. Most usb chargers 1000mah and less. That its why you get the x
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ORam78:
Thanks for the info. So how can this be fixed? Since this didn't happen in the froyo version, I would assume this can be altered to allow the same operation we had in froyo.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Once you are rooted you can just change the png that has the x. Most likey samsung had some issues with the battery getting worn out when charging via usb, now they can say did you ever see the red x when charging? Well you killed the bat. That's my guess.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] robdotcomus:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DanielNTX:
Once you root, you can overclock the tab using Tegrak Overclock in market. It works in the free version, but the paid ultimate version that sets the speed at boot didn't work for me. The stability checker never does the countdown.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
There are two different things going on. One is rooting while the OS os installed. If a device doesn't allow reflashing the OS thats the method that needs to be used. The other thing is flashing an already rooted OS, which is what we're doing here. Since SGT allows reflashing due to the abilities of bootloader mode a rooted OS can be flashed. So, yes you can flash this just as you described. No, a custom recovery is not required because it's not flashing through recovery which would require a .zip. This is using ODIN so it's a .tar file. If this answers your question hit the thanks button.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Agreed. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Stu_Gotti:
This worked for me, just followed the directions on the OP and now I've got rooted Gingerbread until we get the long awaited 3.2 ported over.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] david7586:
Thanks interloper! (Thanks button was hit)

Last question. Can I install the verizon recovery from Koush on the tab or is that not recommended seeing as how we really don't have ROMs for our Tab yet? Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bmsmith80:
Mine too. suck. I'm about to try reflashing with odin again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
I've never done it, but from what I've read you can install the recovery. I'm waiting because I'm not trying to do anything that requires a custom recovery right now. Until more people take on the Tab and start working on themeing or kernels (which is not possible yet) I'm content being able to use titanium backup etc...I'm working on helping with the HTC EVO and if I learn enough quickly I will try and adopt this project also. Thanks for the question. I hope I helped you!

Until a custom recovery can be/is created for the kernel there is no way to change the boot animation.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shiftyshadee:
Thank you very much
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Fixup:
Should be any concern about security? What if the ROM has some added codes that send out your personal info or leave a back door open? Please don't take my concern personally, I know nothing about the OP, just a genral concern. His/her statics shows: 12 posts total since 2008.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
I suppose that's a legit concern. Lets consider for a moment that rooting a device require intimate knowledge of that system and several programming languages. Also needed is the understanding to find an exploitable line ofbcode among thousands. XDA is full of that type of person as is the crew that achieved the root. So I guess we can agree that any of our devices could be full of code that transmits our personal data to a server that aggregates it all into a personal file and uses it at will...oops that's Google. Never mind. Anyway we know its possible but we either decide its not happening or the risk is worth it. My 2¢. Please accept the mild sarcasm as an effort toward humor. ;)

Is anyone else seeing very slow/inconsistent 3G speeds with this ROM? Is there a way I can reflash the radio?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
Not with this rom. Not with this kernel. Not with this device. Right now root is what we have. Bear in mind that Sprint does not include a 1x icon in their theme so that you believe you are always on the Now Network ©…
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wy1d:
Oh there's definitely a 1x icon in gingerbread. I've seen it plenty of times even though I'm completely covered in 3G on my EVO.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sprintina:
Haven't posted here or been around in ages but recently bought a GT from Sprint and currently am in a similar situation as you were before you flashed... I continually make backups with Titanium and this is one of the biggest reasons why I have held off, as much as I have been waiting for GB to finally come out (until I found out about the rooting issue with it).

I am still at stock Froyo (or rather had done the April update to EB28) and have been deferring the update. I am rooted and downloaded the file in this thread. A couple questions for clarification of what you did - ??

1.) It appears that you went right to the rooted ROM without upgrading to the Sprint GB update? Is this correct?

2.) It appears that you left yourself rooted before doing the update? Is that correct?

I had considered unrooting, letting it update with the stock Sprint GB and then reflashing with the rooted one. There seems to be many variations on a theme in this thread (and others) regarding some folks going from a stock GB to the rooted GB or going back to stock Froyo, then to GB, then to the rooted one.

I suppose I want to know whether I should unroot my Froyo (which is at EB28) then go right to the rooted GB ROM or leave my Froyo rooted and then go right to the rooted GB ROM or leave the root, let it go to the stock Sprint GB, then go to the rooted GB ROM... or unroot, let it go to stock Sprint GB, and then go to the rooted GB ROM.

Just trying to minimize potential hassles. I will continue to hunt around the threads for more insight... In any case, love this place for its quality and persistence!! :D Hope to see a new SuperOneClick soon!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
I went from stock rooted froyo sprint to the update.zip method of getting stock unrooted gb via stock recovery then rootedd using this rooted stock gb tar in odin. No issues at all :-) very smooth and safe.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sprintina:
Okay cool, So you didn't bother to do the OTA... Am wondering if that would make any difference as I understand the OTA was what was zipped up to do it manually...!!! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
We have 20ish tabs at work. Mine was the update.zip and I can't tell the difference between that and the otas. I assume they are the same:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sprintina:
Okay thanks!!!! :D:D:D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
My apologies. I may have been thinking about the EVO. I never saw it in Froyo and went straight to AOSP from there where I saw it first.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sprintina:
Well... after needing to take some time out to swap a smaller window air conditioner for a larger one and getting plants watered outside, I finally sat down, made a couple Titanium backups, grabbed the ROM, got ODIN up and running (the ROM came with the latest for the P-100), and figured what the hay... go right from rooted Froyo to the rooted ROM. Success!!! Looks like all my apps are still there! :D:D:D

The only sortof issue so far is that it took my live wallpaper away (I was using one of the stock froyo ones and what I was using doesn't appear as a selection anymore) but other than that, so far so good!!I noticed that the battery indicator now makes a sound when the batt reaches full charged and the little notification icons at the top look a wee bit smaller. I actually had a different file manager that I used for root access than most here in this thread but decided to go on and get Root Explorer from the Market. At that point I was able to confirm that the Market worked okay as well as the latest version of Root Explorer. Have my Xiaalive steaming right now with some music while I take a break and breathe a little sigh of relief...

Thank you tpike and thanks to zhangqip for feeding our root addiction!!! :D:D:D

I was digging through this update last night and I didn't see any files for the radio. I have not looked at the stock update yet. Did you flash stock update before this? I'll look into it more tonight. I'm working on modding this rom. If anyone is interested I'll be working on some changes to the theme and removing some stock apps to make it a little more generic and lite. If anyone is interested I'll start a thread when I have something working. We can fiddle with it while spacemoose1 does the real development.

how to get this to work on the VZW tab

how to get this to work on the VZW tab if you plan to use wifi only as myself.

this is what i did.

you will need heimdall, you should know where to find it.

heres how to do it, FOLLOW STEP BY STEP, im not responsible if you bork your tab.

1. download the file

2. extract to a folder named: gingerbread.

3. extract the pda file.

4. you should now have a zimage, and a factoryfs file.

5. open up heimdall frontend

6. place factoryfs.rfs in the Factoryfs section

7. place zimage in the kernel section

8. place zimage in the recovery section

9. click start.

10. after flash is completed, tab will restart but loop on second samsung animation.

11. hold power + vol+ untill tab turns off, when the tab turns on, let go of ONLY the power button and continue to hold the vol+ button until the recovery menu opens up.

12. wipe user data and cache

13. restart tab.

you should now have working gingerbread on your VZW tab.

:)
