Hey there,

Does anybody know if there's a method available to root the Galaxy Tab 8.9 lte from Rogers in Canada? The model number is SGH-I957R. I tried with one of the methods on her for SGH-I957 but the tablet would boot up after so I had to flash it back to the Rogers stock. I've tried to read through the threads to see if the answer is already out there but I couldn't find anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys just got in my hands a GT-P7320 Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE, so the question is :will al the procedures I found here (root, cwm, kernel etc etc) work on my tab?

I think I'll lose my 4G support only but want a confirm before flashing...

Hi msquared,

I've been using Arlic's ICHI ROM found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923371 and it seems to be working ok. It's very stock standard and has a lot of bloatware, but other than that it seems to be ok.

Root and CWM work fine following the procedures listed, but as for Kernels and other ROMs/ APKs etc etc ... tryer beware.

I'm probably going to test out the CM10 stable release, and I really want to see if I can get GSM voice calls going through this thing via bluetooth.

As with everything, try at your own risk, but as long as you don't hard brick then there's always another day :P

any help would be very much appreciated..

how can i post the link? from where i saw the instructions that got me confused and would like if any one has tried and tested it....
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] heliosue:
Internal SD Card

In this case, your internal storage is called your sd card. When you flash a zip from the 8.9 it comes from the internal sd card. It is confusing.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] scytheslayer:
thanks

how can i post the link from where i saw the instructions sir? heres some of the instructions

Here’s the official Android 4.0.4 ICS build number releases for The Galaxy Tab 8.9 GT-P7300

Please help

Hello...Please help me out with this!

I recently wanted to try this custom rom AOKP and it didn't work so I had already backed up the original rom and I was on CWM menu and I clicked restore.. On that menu I accidently clicked "Free unused Data"... I tried to restore but it says "Error restoring System" I tried to connect to my computer so that I can atleast install the CM 10.1.. But my computer doesn't detect the device! Any idea? Please Help I'm desperate need of a solution!

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
The clear unused data doesn't have the extra check like when you wipe or install a zip and you have to click "yes." It seems a little dangerous, but I guess it should know what data to delete and what data to keep. It shouldn't have messed up your backup.

Can you still boot up your ROM? If so, you can transfer over a new ROM with airdroid or another wireless file transfer app. If not, you may need to flash a ROM with ODIN. I would try the stock ROM.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] lp894:
This may sound like a dumb question but I've searched and couldn't find an answer. Will a p7300 Rom work on the i957? I'm ASSUMING the answer is yes, but data wouldn't work. That said, however, I know the 7300/7310 are different from the 7320. I'm not sure of the differences between the 7300 and i957 aside from the LTE radio
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jay2the1:
I bought my GT-P7300 and it came with Honeycomb I updated it to ICS using the Open Austria stock ROM with Odin, is using the 'Factory data reset' option in 'Settings' safe (in order to change the main gmail account of the tab)? ie there is no risk of the 'brick bug' I have read about?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Do you have a custom recovery? It's generally much safer to do it through there. I don't know if that will brick this tab, but I know it does on plenty of other devices, so I'd stay away from it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jay2the1:
Nope no custom recovery, in fact if I try the power vol up start nothing happens at all. Is there a safe way to restore somehow? it's weird that Samsung would create a bug that could brick a device via the built in recovery options.

I notice on sammobile there is now a UK ICS firmware, could I flash that through Odin just like I did with the Open Austria firmware (although when I upgraded from Honeycomb it kept my data intact), but I would assume that would also have the bug, but as I understand flashing stock firmwares through Odin is safe to do, even backwards to Honeycomb.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
It may or may not brick it. I have no idea, as I've never tried. I know that flashing an up-to-date custom recovery via odin is safe, so I would do that. Flashing the uk ics via odin should also be safe.

To get to the recovery, turn the tab off. Turn it on, and the moment the galaxy tab 8.9 logo pops up, press and hold the volume down (the one that is closest to the power button). That brings up the boot loader, and then you can select recovery or download mode. You must have already done this to flash with odin.

hanging after modifying usb kernal

Hey Guys

I upgraded to JB using the ICHI ROM and all was well. Being as late as it is I updated to the 2nd patch and then without backing up, I tried to activate usb charging according to this thread [RECOVERY+ROOT+KERNEL] Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (P7320/P7320T). Now the tab hangs after the 2nd samsung screen on a blank screen and according to the log in CWM I have a usb error :( I didn't save the zip file for the stock kernal on the tab prior and now I can't see it through keis or my computer to drop it over on the tab and the dongle sd card isn't showing the sd card in cwm. I can still see the tab via ODIN, so how do I get the stock usb kernal back, is there a way to make cwm see the external sd card in the carrier? is there a way to convert the kernal to an odin file? or is this just co-incidence and something else has gone wrong? It was running with the 2nd ICHI patch for half an hour prior to this happening. I really don't want to loose my contents, if there is an option that won't wipe it.

Thanks heaps.

Flashing problem

I have The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH i957D (Telus) LTE 4G.

Using both Odin 3.7 and 1.83 I have tried to root using SGH-rooted-kernel-V2 from a couple of sources and all I get on reboot is the 2 splash screens, then it just sits on a black screen with the backlight on.

After a few attempts with either version of Odin, I tried CWM recovery, this flashed successfully also, and I can get into CWM recovery and Download mode, but still cannot get past the splash screens.

I have tried the stock ROMs a couple of times and different custom images (DaGrootkernel, DaGOCkernel), but still can't get past the splash screens. My battery drained over night, and I have it charging now in download mode, as otherwise it just loops continuously buzzing and lighting up, but still the same issue, I can't even turn it off as it just reboots as soon as I try.

Just flashed successfully with Odin 3.7 and openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-i957.tar. open recovery works great, but still no boot past the splash screens. I have followed all instructions carefully, but still have the same issue. I have flashed the roms to it again after having TWRP installed, but same thing as before. I would like to get CM10, or even stock working again, I'm not picky, just do not want an expensive paperweight any longer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been reading all night and morning to no avail, and see that a few others have the same problem with no success either.

Thanks.

Latest and greatest CM10x ROM for SGHi957

Can anyone help me and point me to the best CM10 rom for the sgh i957? I tried the one from Nvram (sorry if I have name wrong) and I get a constant error with the Android keyboard crashing, I couldn't even enter my info to try it past setup. I tried re-installing several times, and it's a no go. That is the only version I managed to find so far. I want this working, CM is great and beats the hell out of the telus stock rom.

On another note. Everytime I try to root only my tab after TWP or CWM it just hangs at the blank black screen after the 2 samsung splash screens. I used Odin 3.07 and sgh-i957-rooted-kernel-V2 from a how to post on these forums.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] DermagraFX:
Thanks to everyone on here and all the useful info gathered here, I have my tab running

CWM recovery.

CyanogenMod 10.1. NRVATES 7th build.

All working properly, and seems to be stable so far. This is great. The problem I was having with the keyboard crashing was apparently caused by having a too new version of Gapps installed. I followed instructions from some older posts and used an older version of gapps, and all is good in the universe again.

Lol

Hopefully, I can test and play now with success and start to contribute to the community a bit.

Again, thanks everyone for your time and hard work.

Now to figure out how to unlock this, so I can use my current carrier and working sim card.
