With the latest update, you're better off wiping data because of the changes that were made in the kernel.

I also fixed my wifi issues by pulling the zImage out of the 9/27 zip and flashing it with Heimdall.
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
I'm glad you got your wifi fixed :-) I personally have never used the wipe data/factory reset option on any of my flashes... maybe I'm just lucky though, because I did win my tab in a contest and didn't have to pay for it, so my luck may be different with the tab because if I brick it I didn't invest any money in it lol so maybe the androidian gods aren't punishing me lol :-P

SGT+CM7= :-D
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
well, some how the latest version, changes the wifi mac id.. not entirely sure how it manages that (pretty sure it's supposed to be hardware based, unless it's being spoofed by the OS) that's why I wasn't able to connect at home (encrypted and mac filtered)

Gonna have to check with jt and see if he changed anything that would cause this..
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
Crazy question... why is your wifi mac filtered? I've never heard of or done that... is there a difference between that and wpa2? Just curious :-)

SGT+CM7= :-D
[Galaxy Tab General] rygran87:
It's more like if you use a WiFi tethering app on your Android device and use the access control feature. It ensures that even if you crack the password, you can't truly connect to the network. It's for those who are extra cautious with their connections.
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
Sounds like a good protocol to follow... if I could even see my signal outside the house I would probably do that lol stupid netgear router doesn't have that much power, constantly drops signal, had to flash it to only broadcast G signal because nothing would see it if it was broadcasting N, such a shame to pay $130 on a router for wireless N that none of my wireless N devices would see... brand new toshiba laptop, droid X, Galaxy tab, PS3, computer and Xbox all couldn't even see the signal until I flashed it to broadcast G only signal... I'll never buy a netgear branded router again :-(

SGT+CM7= :-D
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
So I got the CIFS stuff working great, now if only the Tab would keep up enough to actually play mkv's at full speed (i've tried 4 different vid players all have the same lag and pixelation issues) on the other hand.. mp4 and avi's play flawlessly.. :)

(Off topic)You might check out www.dd-wrt.com and see if your router is compatible.. 10x better than any stock firmware for routers..
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
Thank you so much for the info.... unfortunately my WNR2000 is not supported at this time... f@#!ing netgear... last time I let a salesman tell me its top of the line and all devices will see it... woulda been better off with a $60 linksys which salesman told me was junk and would constantly drop signal... oh well you live and learn

Have you tried the vlc player that I posted earlier in this thread? I had video issues too but all my videos play flawlessly with that alpha vlc player... I don't have a mkv file to double check though...

SGT+CM7=:-D
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
The problem with the VLC player is it requires the PC side software to run, and I'm trying to get everything working without any extra software. Just want to be able to access my fileshares and play my music and vids. I had a DLNA server setup for a while, but it was soo picky about what file types it wasn't even worth the headache. Found a media box for my tv that will pull anything and everything across my network and play it perfectly. trying to replicate the same setup on my Tab. Like I said, avi and mp4's play perfectly, just mkv's lag and pixelate..

Oh, and about your router.. there should be support for the WNR2000, but it says v2, so i guess if you've got the older v1 hardware (which isn't even listed, kinda odd for that site) then i guess you're outta luck. Just ordered a refurb router to play with myself since i'm not a big fan of the wireless setup on my current router (runs TomatoUSB, similar to dd-wrt)
[Galaxy Tab General] :
I ended up flashing everything with heimdall in linux and got it working. It works real nice just like on my fascinate.

One more question though. Verizon now wants me to activate it on their network. I looked for a activation .apk in the system folder to delete (rename) but didnt see anything that looked right. Any idea what i need to do to disable the activation on startup? Thank for you help fellas.

EDIT: I also realized that i was trying to flash the 9-07 build. - yes i am retarded.
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
I just hit home button when I see activation screen lol... haven't yet bothered to remove it... on another note, now I am running OldMacNut's Better Than Life CM7, seems to be really stable... loving it so far :-)

BTL CM7 + SGT = B-)
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
Maybe it's because i'm on a sprint tab, or the fact that as soon as i boot up after flashing, i put it in airplane mode.. but i've never been asked/bothered by any activation stuff...
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
I'm on a sprint tab too.... asks me everytime I reboot... I just push home key and it goes away til next reboot

[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
you sure that's not the setup wizard? (which i freeze with Titanium as soon as I setup wifi)
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
I just froze setup wizard in TB and it still boots up to activation screen.... maybe I can find it in root explorer... did something similar when I was on stock rooted rom to get rid of sprint activation screen...

Sent from my SGT running CM7
[Galaxy Tab General] X1088LoD:
So I successfully have CM7 now on the tab.

After doing so, does it replace the Sprint modem with the VZW modem? and if so is there any way / reason to put the Sprint modem back on this?

It tells me I am on the Verizon network. My signal is dead at work (I normally have at least a little bit of a signal), but now I get absolutely nothing.
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
I use my sprint tab wifi only, so I don't know if the modem has to be changed... although my signal bars appear to work... not sure, do you get signal elsewhere?

Sent from my SGT running CM7
[Galaxy Tab General] X1088LoD:
definitely get signal elsewhere (at home and when out and about)

I work on a military base (signal is weak around here in general), but with sprint I can usually get a small connection, but i'm thinking if I am solely hitting the verizon towers, maybe that is the issue.

Unsure of any "reprecussions" from always using verizon towers on my sprint tab.

I may consider re-flashing the Sprint EA24 radio (latest standalone I could find real quick), and see if that does anything interesting.
[Galaxy Tab General] hootowlserenade:
Be careful I've heard of people bricking tabs flashing modems...

Sent from my SGT running CM7
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
modems can be flashed via heimdall without too much issue (do it on my Epic all the time) as long as you have the right files..
[Galaxy Tab General] gshadow325:
does anyone know how to get video out to work?
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
That's still a feature that doesn't work in this Rom. A handful of people have tested the HDMI dock with no luck.
[Galaxy Tab General] theamazingaustin:
I know I"m a moron for not being able to find it, but can someone point me to CM7 for the Sprint Tab? I didn't see it over at rootzwiki and I haven't seen any curreny / completely relevant posts via google / xda. I'm sure it's right in front of my face...

thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] :
here you go.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4110-cdma-vzwtab-cm7-beta-kang-unofficial-1101/page__fromsearch__1

It says its for verizon, but it will still work. You just need to change a few things in build.prop.
[Galaxy Tab General] Dmaxx67:
Ive got a sprint tab running the initial.contact rom w/ ext4. Can I just do a factory data wipe and cache/dalvick and load through CWM?

Also anybody got some screenshots for this?

[Galaxy Tab General] adstuck:
What do you need to change in build.prop
[Galaxy Tab General] :
Didnt work for me. I flashed back to EA24 then flashed cwm5 then cm7.
[Galaxy Tab General] Dmaxx67:
Do you like cm7 better than initial contact?

[Galaxy Tab General] SuperDave1685:
Thanks for the link :) I'm currently running the Galaxy Cubed 3 ROM, but I'll give this a go and see which one I like better
[Galaxy Tab General] Thatoneguy.:
Jt has a functional ics rom/cm9 kang as well at rootzwiki
[Galaxy Tab General] rjumawan:
So is this rom better than icontact? I please post pictures. I, want something new to look at. Lol
[Galaxy Tab General] rickxx2000:
i've been tryin' to find the answer to this as well. i imagine i'd have to go into terminal emulator and everywhere it says verizon, change it to sprint?
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
You don't actually need to change anything in the build.prop, and I've found that on occasion when you do edit the wrong things in the build.prop it breaks things in the market. try the VZW rom (really it should be called a CDMA rom) and see if everything works for you.

I've moved on to playing with Jt's ICS rom for now, might go back to CM7 occasionally, but for now the Alpha of ICS does everything i need it for.
[Galaxy Tab General] rjumawan:
Can you please post link of jts ics rom. Thank you
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oildriller83:
So I've been doing some research on unlocking the bionic to work on other networks. I've found several websites that clam the bionic can be unlocked, you supply them with your bionics numbers, and they email the unlock codes. This isn't just for the bionic, they support multiple phones. Just curious as to if anyone has tried this with the bionic, or any other phone before I put money into something that doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dregan76:
Don't put your money into it. I used a service and it took them 5 days to get me my code and instructions. I installed the unsupported SIM card like the instructions said, booted the phone and received a message that said the SIM card was from an unknown source, but didn't provide a dialogue box to type in my code like the instructions said it would.

I have been researching how to input that code since, but no luck. I read there was a way to input it using Radiocomm, but I can't get version 11.11.11 to install correctly on my computer and don't know what to select for the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
Here is Motorola's official spec sheet page for the Droid Bionic: http://developer.motorola.com/products/droid-bionic-xt875

Look very carefully at one particular section

Connectivity

WAN: VOICE BANDS	CDMA 800/1900, LTE 13

WAN: DATA BEARERS	EVDO Rev. A , LTE

What does this mean for you? It means it's essentially impossible to use the Bionic on anything other than Verizon. The radio on the Bionic has ZERO support any GSM protocol or bands.

If you're lucky, and someone comes up with a method, you might be lucky to use it on a cheapo CDMA regional carrier like Cricket Wireless. Have fun crawling on 3G only.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dylanear:
Well, it sure would be nice to be able to use it on an LTE network overseas with a prepaid SIM card.

Wasn't one of the original selling points of LTE is eventually all phones and carriers supporting the same hardware spec? That's not to say that any given phone will work with any carrier, but at least that's the carrier's choise, not dictacted by completely incompatible technologies, GSM vs CDMA.

It's just sad that as the tech to make everything interoperate is poised to take over the carriers and the governments that regulated them (at least in the US) have no interest letting them them do so.

Funny thing is a large block of LTE spectrum was sold with the caveat that the carriers that won the auction cannot restrict the hardware and software that uses that spectrum. Apparently Verizon is not complying with that law.

Even if it were unlocked, you wouldn't be able to use it on an overseas LTE network.
[Nook Touch General] bhartesh1234:
hi everybody

i am from india.I ordered nook2e from ebay and i got it today. Since i dont have wifi facility i opted to bypass the registration process .I am trying to root my nook with the help of nooter 1.6.24 with the help of all you valued contributor. I am getting rooted forever screen but then my nook starts in the normal way. I am not able to see any launcher or so.Please help me as i am a novice computer user and don't have any knowledge of android platform. any help will be highly appreciated

thanks in advance
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
Hi.

1st: Did you make a backup? I hope you did. Seems that noone does but it is the most important thing.

2nd: You can use uRamdisk from this post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16880141&postcount=6

to get adb over usb working (no wifi needed).

I used that to root my nook without using touchnooter (Because I didn't want to do so many changes which touchnooter does). Just use noogie image to access nook partitions and replace the uRamdisk. In the thread you can find additional instructions how to access the nook using adb. I have Fedora (linux), all I did was adding udev rules and updating adb_usb.ini as root (see http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB). Of course you need android SDK installed. It is quite simple although it is always better if you know what you are doing.

There are more things to do lateron (enable non-market installations,..) but that is of other topic. I can put some howto together it you are interested but I am sure these things can be found somewhere around.
[Nook Touch General] bhartesh1234:
thanks for your reply. yes i have image of my nook . but today i found out that it is only 239 mb large . i have read somewhere it should be 2 gb large . is it because i have bypassed all the registration process. i took backup with roadkill software. can you please explain how to reverse the rooting process.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

today i again started my nook. The opening screen is read forever but later on i do get launcher pro or home selection screen.then i entered and i m do getting different screen. I read the forum and found out to establish adb but i m not able to do . i have installed sdk . changed the path as described in nook devs but in my laptop device manager no adb device is shown and when i forcefully choose nook device then an error is shown . i m not able to start any adb command .please help
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
What OS do you have on your laptop? I can't help with Windows.

Seems that you didn't backup whole disk (like sdb) but just one partition (like sdb1).

Anyway, firts step should be factory reset to return to a stock rom. Try some of howtos here on the forum.
[Nook Touch General] bhartesh1234:
i have win xp on my laptop. i can opt for linux if you suggest .i think i will be able to use linux for this purpose with your valued contribution.please suggest which linux version to use .

i used the option in nook of deregestring and erase . i think it has erased everything and now when i started nook again it again prompted me to register . i again skipped the registration process with the tapping method.i am no longer able to see launcher pro or android screen . please tell how to confirm that i have returned to vergin state

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

by the way i want to know if my nook 2 e is at par with all of yours or i have been duped with sub standard nook. can it be possible that my nook just have 300 mb of space:confused:
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
Regarding the 300 MB of space, what spare are you refering to? Do you mean the whole nook storage? I don't think so. This would be very small storage size (even nonstardard, did you ever saw 300MB flashdisk? :-) ). I think you do not acess the disk properly. How did you made the backup? What software did you use?

I think that once you do the correct backup you should try touchnooter again or there can be foud other method on the forum (some bat script).
[Nook Touch General] bhartesh1234:
i m going out for sometime on an assignment . i hope when i will come back i will look into the proble. i will again contact you. thank you for taking interest in my problem
[Continuum General] verizonless:
I just managed to root my SCH i400 (first ever rooting of any Android device for me).

I am very surprised by how smoothly it went, despite reports & warnings everywhere about complications (like this one - which should be totally ignored if you're using SuperOneClick v2.1.1 or higher).

For the benefit of n00bs like me who may be confused by multiple sources, resources, versions and problem reports, I am posting a step by step procedure that is confirmed (by me, on Windows XP SP3) to be working smoothly, without a single hitch of complications:

Phone: Make sure setting > applications > unknown sources is checked.

Phone: Make sure phone is in debugging mode.

Phone: Make sure SD card is unmounted!

PC: Make sure Windows USB driver for this phone installed and works

PC: Make sure .NET 3.51 SP1 is installed.

PC: Unzip SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse.zip ==> C:\Program Files\SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse

PC: Double-click SuperOneClick.exe

PC (in SuperOneClick): Make sure you're on the Universal tab (the only other tab is Samsung Captivate, which isn't the i400).

PC (in SuperOneClick): Now click the root button and wait for the process to complete.

PC (in SuperOneClick): "BusyBox not found. Would you like to install it?" Yes!

PC (in SuperOneClick): "Root install has completed! Would you like to run a test?" Yes!

PC (in SuperOneClick): "Your device has been rooted! Would you like to donate now?"

Exit SuperOneClick, unplug phone from USB, power down phone, power on phone. -- this step might not be mandatory, I just did it to be on the safe side.

Enjoy!

Hanging at Step #5, Now what?

Thank you for sharing. Wish I could say it went as smoothly for me with my SCH-I400 Continuum... I'm still working on it! I followed recommendations of several different developers/rooters. I've installed .Net Framework 4.0 and the SDK developers kit (who knows, maybe I'll start a new hobby...), and now when I run Superoneclick it hangs at step #5 with this message:

link_image[1728]: 3252 could not load needed library 'libdiskconfig.so' for './zergRush' (load_library[1058]: Library 'libdiskconfig.so' not found)CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

I have rebooted the computer and the phone, unmounted the SD card, settings to allow unknown sources, and turned on USB debugging. I'm not sure why the config file can't be found, and I don't know where to get it...

Do I need to reinstall the SDK? Or install the additional Java developers software? Or am I over-complicating this whole thing?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated...

Perhaps the easiest way is to flash a rooted ROM through Odin (or Heimdall)... Especially if you don't use Windows. This is how I did it:

[Continuum General] bighigmt:
Two topics in one thread?

Hmmm... seems we have 2 things happening hear. 1: Rooting a Samsung Continuum, and 2: Flashing a ROM...

My concern is the "hang" at step five for Rooting my Continuum SCH-I400... Cant use a ROM until the dang thing is rooted, and can't seem to figure out the hang.

Tried Z4 root from the phone rather than through the PC and it hung indefinitely... Maybe there's a related issue, and I don't care if it's Superoneclick or Z4 that gets the job done.

Has anyone gotten past the same issue?

-James
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
That's where you are over complicating. You don't actually have to root BEFORE you flash a new rom, if the rom is 'prerooted'. I've never rooted this thing via s1c or z4. I simply flashed the kernels via odin and flashed the rom in cwm.

Either let me fly or give me death. Let my soul rest, or take my breath. - DMX
[Continuum General] bighigmt:
That's fine Txwolf, but still doesn't address the issue... Or the original reason for this thread - Rooting - which is is essential for the programs I am going to run, and that is what I have been asking about...
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
The issue seems to be that you just have to use that little search box a little better via xda or your web browser and find more information the root program your trying to use.

When you give up on that you can take txwolf1980 's advice :)

PS hang on step 5 in OP? Or in 3rd post? That would be getting into dl mode lol
[Continuum General] bighigmt:
Come on now...

I spent 6 hours last night troubleshooting, researching, digging deep, and "using that little search box." Seems to me You guys need to "just read the thread." It's about rooting your phone, period. If a forum is out there, I've probably read it. I'm using superoneclick to do it. SDK is installed. Net framework is installed. My error message frome SOC is above. When I am finally rooted, THEN I will install several programs - starting with a wifi tether.

I see you have the same phone as I do. Is it rooted with a one-click method? I also tried Z4root and didn't like it.
[Continuum General] ciscogee:

you are running dl17 stock 2.1 correct?

what OS is your pc running?

and yes i have same phone as you. i have used superone click on ec03 build once.

just for root. but then flashed a deodexed rom to use custom mods and apps.

and since have been flashing rooted kernels, imnuts and adrynalynne have released most all of them.

there are a few ways to root the device, best bet is, as always is go to IRC.
