Please excuse my stupidity dear fellows, but in attempt to figure out the cause of “unknown” baseband and lost GSM/CDMA modem functions I referred to CWM log and found that somehow at my roll-backs to the stock ROMs I inadvertently managed to flash P7310 ROM to the P7300 tablet!! The log below explicitly testifies this… so the only question: does anybody know a remedy to cure the device after wrong flash? Will be extremely grateful for any immediate advice…

Have you tried to flash stock rom with Odin?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] alex sol:
Hi, poisike, thank you for your prompt response, yes, I played the trick with several stock releases of integrated md5 Odin flushable packets, standing for either 3.1 and 3.2 firmware as is listed below with the same result – baseband version always indicated as “unknown” and GSM/CDMA modem all the time not working… meanwhile the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules completely operable

…resulting in the same “unknown” baseband and P-7310 ROM indicated in the CWM log (please, note the log at my previous post).

It is a complete puzzle, where from I can manage to get P-7310 installed ?? because tried nothing except mentioned in the above list.. so, will be grateful for any further suggestions
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] manpete:
Sorry for entering a question which is probably at high noob level, but.... I have an original P7300. I enter the recovery / download menu. Then I highlight the left menu option (the box) and press the vol+ button.

That merely switches off the tablet. Nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong? I want to flash CWM out of the download package on the first page. I read the OP (I think) and the other posts but could not find anything that refers to this situation. Is this a known problem?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I heard a similar situation from a member before. He ODIN'ed and could enter Stock Recovery. We can speculate some carries lock it on purpose. Always do a backup.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] manpete:
Thx!

I made a backup of programs and data using MyBackup Pro. Then loaded the drivers on my laptop (I have Kies installed, but the drivers in your package are newer). Then entered download mode and used Odin to install Stock Recovery.

As a next step I could enter recovery mode. Then I used Recovery Mode to Flash CWM. Am now making a Nandroid backup.

Well done, and well documented!

Surprising that I couldn't enter Recovery Mode. I didn't buy my tablet from a carrier so it should miss the option.

BTW: The Stock Recovery gives me an error that some file can not be created. I've seen this in post #15 in this thread. Is the Stock Recovery for a specific country? Where can I find a Stock Recovery for my own country code? (Dutch, Netherlands, West-Europe, or something).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Riche101UK:
A little tip of for new users.

If you do a lot of back ups via CWM or Titanium Backup, remember to delete older backups as the can take up to a lot of space if you have a few especially CWM ones.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Ignore if it isn't a red-lettered error, and no, region doesn't matter here (at least that's what developer alterbridge86 told me). If it is, then you may need to nuke (as in, completely wipe from Stock Recovery) the device. The Wipe coming from Stock Recovery completely nukes the device (including SDcard contents), possibly clearing some partition issues if present. The wipes from CWM Recovery do not touch your SDcard contents. Always do backups and copy them elsewhere. I once didn't and ended up regretting it when the Tab gave me red-lettered partition errors and had to nuke the device.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] suwandiapr:
Hi alex.. Did you find your answer for this?

Radio has a two partition in 3g model, you can find the info on ueventd.p3.rc

First : /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 with 2097152 bytes of space

Second:/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 with 12582912 bytes of space..

I dont know with the wifi version...maybe nirogue can check this for you..

This what i think.. Maybe you mess up with first partition, but im not sure with that..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I need to know if he tried what alterbridge86 suggested in the Overcome thread. By the way suwandiapr, where can I find ueventd.p3.rc in my 7310?

Soft-Brick: still stuck after trying everything

I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong - other than getting in this mess in the first place.

What I did: Started the process of installing the ROM from here (teamovercome.net/p7300/). I have a 7310/Wifi model. After downloading the ROM to the Tab I clicked on the file (this is where my problem started) and ROM-Manager (which I had previously installed but forgotten) took over asking to flash the ROM I said "sure" and it rebooted and failed. Leaving me with the boot loop.

Second error, I started reading the forums to see how to fix this and ended up trying everything under the sun via ODIN.

Current status: Turns on by it's self into Download mode. That's all that is left. The text on the top left of the screen says "Reason: No kernal". Flashing the Stock Recovery ends with success but seems to install quite fast. Still no change.

What now?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
You went to the 7300 (3G Model) section of the Overcome site instead of the 7310 which is your model. I'd ODIN if I were you, to start anew, so lucky it boots in Download Mode, it's perfect for ODIN. Your SDcard contents won't be touched. Be careful when reading models. :p
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] brs19301:
What files to install?

Actually, when you go to the download section the 7310 software is there but that is not my point. I need help with ODIN. I've been using it and have tried installing CWM, Stock Recovery, and all. Still I have the same results. Considering the size of the files it seems to upload much faster than I would expect so I'm not sure that it is all uploading properly.

I'm not concerned about the SD card as I did an ofsite titainium backup before doing anything. Did something right.

Specifically, what files should I be installing via ODIN to "start anew"?

Thank You.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
The problem is not that he flashed P7300 rom on P7310. I have flashed P7310 roms on my P7300 many times and this doesn't cause a brick.

The problem is that he used ROM manager and this caused the brick. Look at old threads in development forum and you will find that he is not the first one who tried that.

To fix this, download your stock rom. You will probably get a zip file (depends on where you download), extract it and you should get a file that ends with .tar.md5

Now open Odin and select the .tar.md5 file with PDA button. Leave all other fields blank and all checkboxes as they are.

Now enter Download mode on your tab and connect your tab to PC

You should get a yellow box in Odin, if thats the case then just click Start and it will do the rest. When it's done, your tablet will boot up automatically.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] brs19301:
Stock Recovery

-Where do I find the "stock ROM"? I did a titanium backup can I get the ROM from that?

-Can I just convert Overcome_8.9_Series_v2.3.1_P7310_Full.zip to a .tar file and flash that?

-Will flashing the stock rom get recovery back? I've tried flashing ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P73xx.tar but still no recovery.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Link. Download the third one (version ending in LA3) and follow this thread's instructions regarding ODIN. Also the answer to your questions is no, except for the last one. You need to restore your tablet's partitions, the ones ROM Manager damaged, therefore ODIN is the way.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] brs19301:
Thanks

[/COLOR]

Nirogu - your post didn't show up until after my last post where I got it going. Is your link the same ROM as the one in my last post?

Now that I've learned how to unbrick this thing I'd like to continue with what I started. I'm looking to flash a stable, rooted rom with the bloatware removed. What do you recommend? I saw two roms that caught my attention they are Overcome and I had seen a modified stock rom someplace that looked interesting.

What do you recommend?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
All ODIN images come from Samsung so you're good to go as long as it is for the model you have, of course. Overcome is a good place to start, and now more than ever since it is once more based on native firmware. Couple it with the motley kernel and you've a winner. I went another route. I have a modded Stock LA3 ROM. I took the one I released in the Development section and removed all the bloat (don't ask for a removed app list, that was more than a month ago lol) and modified the looks (which I also released as a separate flashable in that thread).

Hey Nirogu.. quick question, I rooted my 8.9 tab, am I correct in understanding that when samsung officially release ICS OTA I cannot receive it because I am rooted?

I am thinking about unrooting and just waiting for the official release if this is the case, as I am having an issue with my market not updating to google play store and think being rooted is the cause of that.

Appreciate any advice, thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Hmm...ok. You can still receive the notification and update, but keep in mind the update will break root. Also no, root does not affect any app at all. To fix the Market, go to: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Go to the "All" tab > Look for Market (or Google Play Store if it somehow updated) > Press "Clear data" > Go to the Market once more.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] quangtrungh:
Usefull

Very clearly and usefull, thanks your thread
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ross607:
Yeah I have tried clearing the data on the market, go back into it and accept terms and services but its still the market, doesnt do any update to play store its really strange, I even tried installing the play store apk file manually but that just crashed the app every time I tried to go in it so I had to uninstall and revert back to the original market app. Factory reset of tablet would prob resolve it but I dont want to do that obviously... thanks for the info on the updating and root anyway, really appreciate it.

Bricked 8.9

Ok so here is my story... maybe a good learning curve...

i installed the root files as needed - rooted checked with SU and Terminal, no issues, installed the custom kernel - seemed to be ok, then decided to install the ROm - aokp-r29-gt7300-galaxiansoup-r3 - and this basically screed my device up to a point where i have my hands in my face - WTF - becuase the links provided kicked me off almost everytime (about 6 attempts) @ 123 MB, so im counting the freeking badwidth i wasted - then stubled across a link to a torrent that i though would work....

and to my surprise - the device is now in a "soft brick state"

--- i had my doubts about this rom and now i know, since my 7" is working like a bomb with the overcome rom, this is what im downloading right now - hopefully through the Odin Tool i should be ok,

i think the lesson here - trust the ROM you know and stay away from the Torrents !!!

Hi nirogu325,

Please kindly advise how to transfer the NANDROID backup file from GT to PC in the case of P7300 tab.

Thank you very much in advance and for your very useful threat as well!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. As the guide says on the Nandroid How-To:

You just copy your preferred Nandroid Backup (the folder will be named as the date when it was made) or the whole clockworkmod folder to your PC through USB, ADB or a wireless method such as the Airdroid app.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] wil_mak:
file transfer using USB cable

I figure out few ways to transfer file(s) from P7300 to PC:

+ By Bluetooth: quite slow (< 200 kbps)

+ By wifi as you mentioned above with about 1 Mbps speed

However, I do not know how to do with USB cable except using with Kies because afaik

P7300 does not support the mass storage mount. Please advise.

Superuser update from market

First, many thanks to nirogu for your guide. Excellent!

I've rooted my device using the zip in your guide and added CWMR and motley v2d. All has been rainbows and kittens for a while. :D

Suddenly the market is suggesting that I update the Superuser app with a rather old version in the market. I tried it and things stopped working and it started to complain about my 'su' being outdated. I reverted the update and things are back to normal.

Should I be concerned about either:

a) having done the update at all (got hacked, etc); or

b) the fact that I got errors after having done so?

Forgive a n00b for being nervous. :o
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:

Superuser update from market

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jesslynh:
Feeling like a complete idiot

I thought I was following your instructions to reset back to stock with the stock rom.

I get thru Odin using your stock recovery file, reboot and I get the same rooted rom that I had previously after the reboot.

What the frack am I doing wrong?

(Thanks for the guide BTW, I got rooted/rom'd just fine)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
The Recovery contained in the Bootloader is independent from the Android Operating System (i.e. ROM). I provided a thread link twice in the guide that gives you links to download an ODIN image of your preference. Once you download your preferred image/firmware, use ODIN to flash it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] lZooZl:

one question though,

can we install chainfire Super Su app instead ?

I used Keis, & the root original zip. Everything seemed fine, just like the videos. Rebooted, went to play store & dl superuser, all good. I installed adfree & ran it & can't get superuser permission, tried TB, can't gain root access. This guide is much better then the videos I used, how can I fix this, or can I just start over using your guide & redo it. I still have stock recovery, please help & thank you.

And are other people having issues cause superuser has been updated a few times the past couple of days. Thanks again.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Thanks for the feedback! I suggest fixing root in that case, oh and installing CWM Recovery since you will need it to fix this one. There's a little section in the How-To that shows you how to fix root (called *Fixing Root*). It involves manually flashing the Superuser app and binary (both in just one CWM Flashable file) from CWM Recovery.

Sidenote: With the Toolkit having the drivers, you no longer need Kies...unless you use it to manage files.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aheeejd:
Nice, thanks for getting back to me so fast. I was impatient, but I think it's all good, seems all good anyway. I uninstalled su, then just followed your guide. I have cwm recovery & superuser that came with your tool pack is working. As far as I can see, all I got a do now is flash a rom. I have to use Odin to flash a rom though huh? I guess I was wishing it was as easy as my og evo 4G, just dl from phone, move to root, wipe & flash. I got some reading to do. So, needless to say, it's wise to nandroid my stock setup.

Anyway, I've flashed about every rom there is for the evo, I'm a Jr mod over at tincandroid & I got a say, kudos to you for this guide. Wish I looked here first, I would have never have played with Keis.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Yep, first do a Nandroid of your Stock config. There are several ODIN images in the dev section and I linked to the thread twice in the guide. After you have CWMRecovery installed, it is truly simple to flash and you don't need ODIN unless you are going from ICS to Honeycomb. You just do both wipes (Cache/Dalvik), clear the /system partition in the mounts section for a cleaner flash and flash away. I further simplified the *Fixing Root* section. Keep that new linked file in handy and thanks once more! :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] veenman:
Perfect! just what I needed - somewhere missed that the zip should be extracted to get to the tar.md5 file.
