Downloaded a zip from a link provided by kallt kaffe for ClockworkMOD 6.0.0.8 . But when I use it reads 6.0.1.0... I used it to install CM10. No probs. Having memory problems on the CM 10 rom. Thought I would try ICS from safariking on 7300. Is 6.0.1.0 considered safe combined with ICS? Only 6.0.1.2 that has that brickbug?

Changing MOD procedure? NANDROID, wipe all data and caches, install other rom, wipe all data and caches again for safe measure? EDIT: YES worked, no 3g on Safarikings version. Changed again to the ported from 7500 v2. Works fantastic so far!

Ported 7500 v2 is asking me if I want to do a system update... What's up with that? The update arrows are so tempting...Is there a new update fro 7500 or what could it be?

PS Have now discovered this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1893456 ... Install 3 roms in a day? Tempting but I am liking the ported version so much that I am reluctant to more brick risks in one day...

Hey guys. Quick question. I have a friends tablet. and I have accidently repartitioned the tablet trying to flash it from a failed rom update. Anybody got any ideas how to get it to stock. I can't access any form of recovery in anyway, not stock or CWM. Any help would be great I am trying to fix this for my friend.

CM 10

Thanks Brendo - there's a lot to read but have found out much.

Have tried KK's CM10 20120808 (I had the same issue and trebchet kept closing) also tried the latest build 20121013 and got the screen scramble problem.

So have gone back to SK's AOSP 4.1.1 (BTW with his 4.1.2 I had the screen scramble problem also) and will wait for further developments.

Any other recommendations?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
The ported 7500 ROM for most people leads to battery meter issues (the battery% drops quickly, not in line with real battery capacity).

You can choose to stick with it for now, or move on to tracid's almost equivalent, but for 7300, ROM.

I would recommend against accepting that OTA update, as your ROM is not entirely equal to the 7500 ROM. The OTA could ruin the ROM (recoverable with an Odin flash...). But if you are adventurous, do accept the OTA, and let us know how it turns out (e.g. what version of ROM and kernel you have afterwards). :D

What can i do if I bricked my Tab? I cant access Download Mode nor Recovery :(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Before you post anything else, post exactly what device, and build you were on, and what recovery you were using. Also, what exactly were you doing when you did what you did. Do you use Odin? Do you have any other tools on your PC for this mission? Google is your best friend. Did you long press and try to hard reset it? Is it looping etc?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Brendo:
Try CM10 build 20121012. It does not have the battery charge issue and both cameras are working

You may need to change bootloader if you get scrambled screen: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32802991&postcount=1085

serial number on tracid's ICS ROM

Hi,

I have gt-p7300 and i have just update to ICS by tracid.

I have question about the serial number display in about device -> status, is there anyone notice that the value is "P P P P" or something like that, or is it just mine?

Another question is there any update regarding call mute when screen is off?

CM10 build 20121012

Thanks for the heads up on that. Yeah, I read the bootloader solution and got a little put off by the warnings.:confused:

Might have to give it a try anyway. I am using CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 - do I need to upgrade to a later version or will this still work?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Please report back if you flash it. However, it must be flashed with Odin, see the description by kallt_kaffe.

To give you some ease of mind: Note, this bootloader was extracted from p7310uela3 Rom. A lot of people have flashed that whole Rom (also via Odin) , then re-flashed target Rom. It solves the screen problem but is lengthier process. Hence the interest of having this shortcut , with bootloader alone.

I downloaded kallt_kaffe's file, and did a byte comparison. Is identical to bootloader in p7310uela3.

Sent from the train..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Betschi:
Thx for your answer. I got a P7310 with the CyanogenMod 10 2012-08-08 Build. The Recovery was the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4. I wanted to flash the newest CM, because my Tablet had 10 hours for loading, which was very strange. I wanted to flash it with CWM, but as i rebooted in CWM, the device crashed. Hard reset doesnt works and it isnt looping. My computer cant even regocnize that my Tablet is connected.

Adobe Flash problems not solved after all

Flash works but seems to chew up a lot of memory. If I uninstall and reinstall another flash version then it seems I can watch these videos once but poorly... Commercials work fine. But when the actual clip comes after commercials it does not work.

Some of the clips may be region locked. Not sure. Sweden's bigges web site.

Flash is the only problem I have. Flash works, I suspect it bugs out when the clips require a little more memory. If I try full screen the Chrome browser often times out.

I tried the Adobe Flash HD gallery at adobe.com/au/products/hdvideo/hdgallery

I tried 720, it plays without the usual bugs but really laggy. Not bandwith related. I have 100 mbit fiber. The 480 video plays nicely but after watching a clip the interface goes really laggy with time outs. Have to click several times on everything.

As requested...

Ok, I will say what I did and how but please note there's no turning back if you make a mistake as there is no American ODIN image (as of today on samfirmware.com) to return the tablet to its original state. That said, I'm not responsible for damages of any kind on your Galaxy Tab 8.9.

Root Instructions: HERE (also look at the second post for manual entry to the default Samsung Recovery)

- After rooting, I acquired Titanium Backup on the Market to delete Samsung bloat. There's lots of tutorials for Titanium Backup on the net, but be careful when deleting stuff,

you've been warned

. If you don't know what is X or Y program, google it or don't touch it. If you delete something you don't have an idea what it is, you run the risk of soft-bricking your Tab,

once more, you've been warned

.

- For accelerating shutdown/boot time a little, I used Root Explorer (to backup/copy or delete stuff tap on Mount R/W on the upper side of the app AND PLEASE BACKUP THE FILES/FOLDERS I'M ABOUT TO MENTION in case you want the boot/shutdown animations and tunes back). On /etc folder you see a music file named 1_Power_on.ogg and that's the tune you hear while the phone's booting.

Then on /system/media you see two files named bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and yes those are logically the two files responsible for the spacey boot animation. On /system/media/video you see a shutdown folder and logically this is related to the shutdown animation. Before deleting files, I backed up said files (just tapped Copy and pasted them in another location) in case I wanted to restore them later on by putting them where they belong.

On Google, we can easely find a non-branded rom P7300XWKI1 (8.9" HSDPA)

http://www.sammobile.com/threads/326-Samsung-P7300-Galaxy-Tab-8.9-Firmwares.

In this .tar archive, we can find bootloaders

So, is it safe to flash this archive ?

For example, new bootloaders bring yellow triangle on I9100 SGS2, more difficult to remove

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I would like to know this too. I have downloaded the KI1 firmware and am quite familiar with flashing with Odin, but I'd like to know whether or not this will incur the dreaded triangle of voided warranty too. :P

Edit: Haven't flashed anything yet, but from what I can tell, it's only a .tar file, no .pit. If I'm not mistaken, this means it's a non-wipe firmware flash, right? Still did a backup anyway, just to be safe!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cle_m_ent:
I flash the KI1 rom for my Orange branded rom galaxy tab 8.9, and I can rooted her and I have no yellow triangle like GS2.

And I keep my IMEI. ;)

Yes it is a no wipe rom.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Thanks for the tip! I think I'll be doing that to mine later! It seems my imported tab came with a Brazilian (not THAT kind of Brazilian!!).

P.S. Does the KI1 firmware include a dialer for GSM calls?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pinsb:
If someone can get this working with the GSM phone I'll buy one immediately.

I love my current GT but having the phone dialler is an incredibly useful feature if I need to make a quick call. In the UK one of the service providers is giffgaff who offer a no contract deal of 400 minutes and unlimited internet access for £10 ($15) for 30 days, the problem is you can't use it in non phone devices. It's worth the £10 just for unlimited internet access...the 400 minutes of calls is just a very useful bonus when you need to make a quick call.

Just picked up the 8.9 and love the size, but can't stand the lag. I really want to keep this thing, but the home screen lag is very annoying. I'm not running live wallpaper and only running two Widgets. I removed all of the Widgets and it helps a little, but not enough. Is this a touchwiz or honeycomb 3.1 issue. Does anyone think Samsung will address this issue soon?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ftgg99:
Root your device. Buy titanium backup or bloat freezer. Then use it to freeze or uninstall as much as possible. I'm sure there's plenty of folks that will provide a list of stuff that's safe to remove...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Use ADW EX launcher instead of touchwiz. Also, don't be so quick to get rid of your device just yet. You gotta bear in mind, this is still a very new device on the market, so there hasn't been a whole lot of development for it yet. Hell, we still don't even have our own forum! Believe me, once the ball gets rolling for us, all the little niggles we have now will be addressed.

Had downloaded ROM from sammobile.com, but I am not quite sure how to use Odin... Which files (PIT, BOOTLOADER, PDA, CSC) should be selected to flash wifi model?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Make sure you're using the P7310 firmware for the wifi model and not the P7300, otherwise you'll brick your device. The .tar files go in the PDA section. .pit files in the pit section etc.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sanjmur:
Thanks! I have one last question, should I flash all 4 files?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] luminouche:
Are u sure ?

The P7300XWKI1 downloaded on Sammobile is a .tar archive, so directly flashable in Odin 1.85 (PDA section) ?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but no need to disassemble .tar archive, it's directly flashable isn't it ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
My understanding is that the KI1 firmware is a non-wipe flash, as long as you're only flashing the .tar file in the PDA section and nothing else. I haven't done this yet myself as there is no need for me as far as I can tell (if it ain't broke, don't fix it!) But to answer your question, no, you don't need to decompile or unzip the .tar file; it is directly flashable from Odin.

The point I was trying to make in my previous post was that the KI1 firmware is for the 3G 8.9 tab, NOT the wifi only 8.9. So if you have the wifi only tab, I would NOT recommend flashing the KI1 firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] johnd603:
Having flashed a number of ROMs in the past for various tablets - I think Jade Eyed Wolf is right on target with that advice. Once the wifi ROM is up, I'd like to play with some aspects of this Tab, but I really do want to have an "escape hatch" when/if things go wrong....

Hey thanks

Thanks for trying it!

I know, quality is not good, but it is our largest site in Sweden with all the latest sport clips etc.

My Play store that came with my rom preinstalled (ported 7500) does not have Flash. Got Apk from the tutorial section and tried some others as well. The gapps.zip that you flashed with CM10 has more apps? When I was on CM10 I had some August release. Had lots of memory problems. App time outs. You on latest version of CM10? Anyone tried playing flash on Tracid's new rom? Thinking about trying that plus that a1 kernel.

Hello !

I've flashed the last version of cm10 on my p7310, because I find it smoother, and I already flash the mentionned kernel to make it drain less battery, but I have a problem. When I lock my screen, or when it locks itself, and I want to unlock it, the screen doesn't display normally anymore, and I have to reboot the tablet manually to have a normal displaying again. But when I lock it again, the same problem, everytime !

Does somebody know how to fix this ?

Thank you !
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
@ern123456789: There's a solution to that, a little hint for your reading and search: you need to update the bootloader. The "old" solution for that is flash a whole Rom that includes good bootloader . It's a 400mb download... Kallt_kaffe has extracted just the bootloader (2mb) from that Rom, and made it available in this thread, a few days back.

Please report back, as you will be one of the first to try to fix this with the bootloader alone. Also what tab you have? WiFi or 3g?

Oh sorry, i searched a bit, but i couldn't find good keywords.

For what i read, it seems to be a problem with swiss tablets, like mine.

But some say that flashing only the bootloader may cause bricks, is it true ? Because in this case I would intall the full ROM, maybe it's better not to risk anything ^^

edit : I flashed the old ROM and then used CMW to reinstall cm10, and everything works perfectly :) (except usb on the computer :P)

Ok so here's my question:

I had an issue with my recently downloaded items and pictures not showing up in my gallery, so I went into settings > Applications > MediaStorage and wiped the data. I figured it would refresh everything after a reboot, but now nothing shows at all and it says no media available, even though the file explorer sees the files. I did this because it was suggested to me by someone else, so any suggestions?

If all else fails, I will just back everything up and wipe the tablet and start fresh...

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I installed CM10. Since the samsung keyboard dock requires the input method to be samsung keyboard but CM10 doesn't have it, now I cannot use the keyboard dock to input.

Would you still buy it?

Hi galaxy tab 8.9 users,

I have a question for you. Lately I've been looking for a tablet and I ended up at this tablet (I may have an option buying one 2nd hand for about €200). In my opinion 10" is a bit too much and 7" really too small, so the size seems nice. I'm not planning on heavy gaming and such: it will be browsing, reading PDF-files and watching movies/series while travelling, so I don't think that I really need a Tegra 3 or something like that. On the other side, I'm a bit sceptical about the Tegra 2. Also, it's not really clear to me whether there is ICS or JB support for this tab or not: I don't mind some rooting and flashing, but if official Honeycomb and broken CM9/CM10 ports are the only options, I think it will only lead to frustration.

What do you think? Would you buy this tablet again?

Thanks in advance! :cowboy:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Brendo:
Cm 9/10 are very good...perhaps try reading some if the threads here?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ValentineCrow:
I know that CM-roms are great roms! When I bought my phone (LG O2X), the first thing I did was flash CM7. The thing is: I don't think CM officially supports this tab, so the CM9/CM10 roms would be self-cooked CM-builds. I know that those can have bugs like lagging interfaces, non-working camera's of GPS, lack of Hardware Acceleration, bad battery life, kernel-issues... those things. Also, concerning official roms: do I understand it correctly that Samsung only has an US ICS-rom? European models would still be on Honeycomb?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Henu:
The only publicly released official ICS- rom should be the US version of Wi-fi (7310). However, there´s a Taiwanese 7300 ICS also available, which is not released officially for some reason but works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ValentineCrow:
Allright thanks. I assume that I cant flash this 'the legal way', but there is a repack to a .zip or something like that? Also, do you know if the sources are available? (as that makes it more likely that there is a good custom rom support)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Henu:
You can´t flash it the "legal" way yet, but there´s a zip for that to use in CWM. Check it out from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1893456

I´m using it as we speak, but would like to go to CM10. I had CM9 and loved it, but the kernel had the battery bug and I had to reflash this stock ICS instead to fix it and am now running it since two days.

Concerning my previous sentence, I´d have a question ask, if someone would like to answer this.

I didn´t understand everything from the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875756 topic which concerns risk of bricking. I´d love to try the new version of CM10 but am unsure if I have a possibility to brick my device.

- Using CWM 6.0.1.0 (have been using it since rooting)

- Coming from stock HC to CM9 and then back to stock HC because of battery problems.

- Flashed Tracid´s stock ICS to fix the battery problems.

- I am using such a chip which is known to have the brick bug (MAG4FA 0x12)

Now I´m not sure can I flash CM10 at all right now or do I have to make some pre- cautions beforehand and will the pre-cautions even help. What would be the order with these specs to install CM10 to avoid the bricking?

If I got it right, the official ICS kernel I´m using now will brick my device if I wipe cache etc and try to install CM10. Am I correct?

Thanks,

Henu

PS: Another noobish question, if someone could answer this:

Have I understood something wrong, or are people actually -when installing Roms- wiping everything and rebuilding the apps and interface etc from scratch again, or is there some kind of "one button backup" they are using, possibly with Titanium Backup or something?

I find it hard to believe that people just hop into different Roms once a week, downloading and customizing all apps and widgets separately each time, especially if the just want to try...let´s say, KK´s new build from yesterday when they just installed the previous one two days ago? This might sound like a stupid question, but I´ve actually never got the answer for it even though I´ve searched all internet back and forth.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ValentineCrow:
Ok thanks. So roms are not really a problem.

Then my last question to you all: are you still happy with your tablet? Would you still buy it, or would you rather buy another tablet?
