evertything went fine, updated to gingerbread and installed root from post #2

but when i try to use ZT-180 adhok switcher, tablet reboots.

it ask for root permissions and no problem so far, but suddenly reboots.
[Galaxy Tab General] Vampfy:
I was yeah, I'm trying a last ditch gb attempt now before my Gtab goes skyward!

Edit: Scratch that, I'm now on 2.3.6! Thanks a lot :)
[Galaxy Tab General] urra901109:
thanks. i tried already long ago, it works but not perfect. just like you said.. rotation issue and some unexplained problem like no video sometime. if that little tab is with me, i don't think its a big problem. maybe i can tinker with the settings a bit, the problem is the tab is with my parents. anything happen they'll probably make this face :confused: its nice to have official support though
[Galaxy Tab General] blue_algae:
if memory serves me right, it's samfirmware.com

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

@urra901109, rotation issue can be fixed easily by setting rotation to 270. I haven't encountered no video though. I use skype 3-8 hours everyday. my problem with that version is that after 2.5-3 hours, skype would either be unresponsive or it will just crash. then I will need a reboot.

In GB, using that version losses the ability to use the back camera. only ffc works.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
It's good to note that CF-Root is still beta and may have issues. Skin1980 is still working on it.
[Galaxy Tab General] fdomartineza:
thanks!! and the guy who gave the password to sammobile!
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
Sweet! (= Congrats! Enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab General] Skin1980:
The CF-ROOT is fixed.... what doesn't work very well is root but the recovery function works
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
I'll try it out and give it a go.

Thanks Skin1980 for all your hard work! We all appreciate it! Great stuff!
[Galaxy Tab General] GazKez14:
which file of the first post Skin1980´s thread should I use to be root once I have gingerbread? sorry for my english!
[Galaxy Tab General] numb_heart666:
use this Skin1980-P1010-NEW-CF-ROOT-GB.tar

:D
[Galaxy Tab General] GazKez14:
thank you for your help!!! I tried it and worked!!
[Galaxy Tab General] dragonfirerich:
I ended up with the fc/reboot loop and the link in step 3 wasn't working properly for me. Luckily, the stock kernal from the thread in the 2nd post resolved my problem. Now running GB 2.3.6 in my US tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
Sounds like that would work out because the kernel from KC1 gives FC.

Glad you got everything working. =)
[Galaxy Tab General] dragonfirerich:
Off topic, has anybody tried pairing with an HID BT keyboard since updating?
[Galaxy Tab General] RunNgun42:
Can I install the gingerbread rom in here by using clockwork recovery instead? Do I have to root or do anything special? Or just throw the rom on my sd card and install using CWM?

And is this a FULL gingerbread rom? Or just some gingerbread update that must be applied to froyo first?
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
These files are flashable in ODIN. The only Gingerbread updates are for the EU version. I have the US version and it didn't update properly applying the EU upgrade. So I downgraded to EU FROYO and updated from there. Read OP page please.
[Galaxy Tab General] RunNgun42:
Yes I read the page but it assumes a lot of pre-existing knowledge, like even knowing what Odin is beforehand. Anyway I followed OP's guide since CWM cant see my sd-card and have been running gingerbread all night and stable. When I tried to root it started crashing, so I went back to stock EU gingerbread rom and looks to be stable.
[Galaxy Tab General] dragonfirerich:
If you run the Gingerbread kernel from the thread mentioned in the second post you can gain stable root.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
You should be golden after that :)
[Galaxy Tab General] RunNgun42:
Yeah that's the one I used, random reboots. Sometimes it would run for over and hour before rebooting. Meh I think I can live with it for now. Just using the tab as a car nav system.
[Galaxy Tab General] wit202:
i used the original rom ..xwkm2 and tried to flash rom ..XXKPG .but i cant to flash,why ? please tell me
[Galaxy Tab General] larrisa12002:
I believe it must be added in the OP that installing the latest upgrade will remove any root that was previously installed. z4root and super one click will not work for the upgrade. At the moment, only CWM Recovery and CF Root for Gingerbread will successfully install root.
[Galaxy Tab General] marv_in_lbc:
I literally stayed up all night doing this... with success.

The only problem I ran into was trying to root... and that didn't go so good (which necessitated me staying up all night).

Anyway, no problems with it running stock, nor with stability, nor with the Market . And, I have given this tablet to my daughters anyway, so it's not a big deal that it's not rooted--I just maintain it, I don't use it.

Thanks for the guide.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
I'll add it to OP. Thanks for the heads up.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
please try again with Odin 1.61

Also, the Gingerbread update is for the EU Froyo ROM. I recommend following my guide to downgrade to EU Froyo and upgrade from there.
[Galaxy Tab General] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Anyone have any charge issues? I couldn't charge the battery using the wall charger or USB through the computer without having the tablet turned off.
[Galaxy Tab General] japester36:
I did have the charge issue (red X over the battery icon) when not using the shipped USB cable to wall charger. Seems to need more juice than a humble USB socket is rated for.

Also had it in my Samsung Keyboard Dock with a different cable, original cable seems fine.

John
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
You can root with CF-Root from 2nd post.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
It won't charge unless it's with the wall charger. I'm not sure why you're having issues superrelaxx. Sounds like it may be a bad charger?

UPDATE: some people on the other thread are having issues with charging as well. they say it's software-related.
[Galaxy Tab General] RunNgun42:
I think the standard USB 2.0 output amperage is 500ma. The tab wall charger outputs at 2A, which is 4x more than your computer can output over USB. The tab WILL trickle charge over any usb, but it may need to be OFF for this to work.
[Galaxy Tab General] japester36:
Totally agree, but I've had this now when plugged directly into the wall charger. A swift unplug and replug cured it.

I guess I'll keep an eye on it.
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
Wont power on?

I followed the steps in this post VERBATIM and the tab seems to not power up.

I did this for a friend who got my old tab and it worked fine. The tab booted up normally and i reinstalled all apps he had previously. The tab rebooted a few times when using adfree after applying the hostfile, but no other problems. I tested the tab and it was stable. I used cf-root for GB and it all worked fine too (obviously installed root first as adfree requires root) and the tab worked fine. My friend used the tab when he went home and it shut down, dead battery. He plugged it in and it charged to about 71% while he was using it to go on the web with it. All worked fine, then it shut down. He said the tab wouldnt turn back on.

I tried holding power for over a minute and it didnt turn back on. I left it on the charger for over and hour and tried it again, no luck.

What caused this? Did the EU rom be adapted for 240 v and the battery control thinks its not getting enough power and refuses to charge?

Why would the tab work fine, and then just not work? Not even turn on? I even tried holding power and vol down, but it didnt do anything either.

How do i fix this?

Why is this happening?

Do i have to open the tab (and just disconnect the batter) for it to come back to life?

Do i have to send it back to samsung or apply the unbrickable mod? (if it applies to the wifi version and not just the gsm)?
[Galaxy Tab General] dLo GSR:
i guess i should have anticipated this before but doing this wiped both my internal and external SD cards.
[Galaxy Tab General] kentwn:
about skype video talk

anyone else can use the video talk on the skype?

it doesn't work for me..i can see the videos from my friends but they cannot

see me and the skype that i installed is the latest version also has got video options inside

but useless:confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] dLo GSR:
read all the other posts on this thread about skype... you have to install the modified version from these forums, not from the market.
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
Wont turn on after working fine in GB for over a day??!!

Anybody know why this may be? It worked fine for over a day, then just wont turn on? Why would this be?
[Galaxy Tab General] gogomogo:
I flashed to gingerbread and deleted some stupid applications not needed.

When i check battery status, shows "discharging" why not shows "not charging"?

This is a bug? And what about your devices?
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
nobody has any idea why the tab doesnt turn on anymore? Or is this thread dead?

(Sorry for being impatient i just assumed somebody would know why or what to do)
[Galaxy Tab General] gogomogo:
Man has nick beackman had same issue. After gb his tab didnt work. But then turn on. He swys it is soft brick. Jusr wait for a few time and dont plug charge.
[Galaxy Tab General] hah2110:
Do these work on US Verizon?
[Galaxy Tab General] tglaria:
In which version of skype does the front camera work with this tablet's GB?

I've already tried 4 different version, and none has worked so far.
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
If camera doesnt work it probably is a driver issue. im sure it is covered online what version works.

Try these threads??? Maybe they cover it.... :/

Thanks for a reply. How long is, "wait a few time"? a few days? Hours?
[Galaxy Tab General] dLo GSR:
make sure you set the rotation to 270 deg and force 640 x 320 res and it should work.
[Galaxy Tab General] japester36:
I finally got it working after searching and working out that there are several builds of signedcom.skype.raider_2.1.0.46 floating around and not all of them work! In fact the Advanced Settings section varied wildly between them.

The one that I used with success was Build v11 at http://www.multiupload.com/6WEIZZGTX7.

In Advanced Settings, I had to set the following:

Force-enable video-calling > ON

Avoid setFPS > ON

Use valid preview surface > ON

Then you will have to tweak Rotation in Advanced Settings>Front Camera (270) to get your face to appear in the correct orientation if using portrait.

I'm sure some other combinations and versions will work too but this is what has worked for me.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
Just a quick question. I am going to try and do this tonight with my US P1010 and just wanted to make sure of the following...

1. Still have access to the US Android App Market.

2. Still have access to the US Amazon App Marketplace.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
I can confirm that US Android Market works. I'm pretty sure it's the same for Amazon but I can't confirm.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
Sorry, this is for Wifi Only model GT-P1010.
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
I am on the final step and everytime I try to unzip the file P1010XEUKPG it asks for a password for the encrypted file? Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
If the rom image is form samfirmware.com, they put passwords on their archives to protect copying and etc. Here is the FAQ for the site that explains the password(s) you should enter:

http://www.samfirmware.com/faq.htm

Enjoy. Oh btw, make sure to use an extracting tool like 7-zip, winrar for some reason could not extract or recognize these files were passworded and gave an unknown compression method error.

Can anybody explain why my tab doesnt turn on now tho? It was working fine with the EU rom and even could install apps and reboot. Then suddenly just wont turn on now. Why is this? It worked fine with this rom for over a day and then just dies? Im confused. Any pointers?
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
Have you tried to plug it into the wall charger that it came with? Also, can you get it into download mode?
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
I left it unplugged for a few days (to rain battery) and plugged it in for a few days. I cannot turn it on. Like the battery is dead. I get no charging screen when it is normally off and is plugged into power. No i cannot get into download mode or i would just reflash. Why would this happen? :@
[Galaxy Tab General] RunNgun42:
I want to say I saw something similar happen when I first flashed. The battery indicator eventually did come on even when the tab was off, but not for the first few days. I have no explanation for this.

Have you tried holding down the power button for a crazy amount of time? I remember thinking I was holding it down long enough, then I finally just sat there holding it down for a straight minute and suddenly the tab came to life.
[Galaxy Tab General] awesomeandroid:
OMG at last GB for the forgotten tab wifi! thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
Ya i held it for over 5 minutes while watching tv. Just died for some reason and i have no idea why. I've heard nothing but complaints about this tab and then for a successful rom flash, and then it just dies after using for over a day? Sadly i will greatly consider samsung's product design, as this is just horrible for it to die that easily. Glad it doesnt do it to my 10.1 and that flashing is so much safer.
[Galaxy Tab General] alexgogan:
If you downloaded it from samfirmware then the password is samfirmware.com

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] gogomogo:
I bought ainol 7 paladin today.

1ghz cpu and good gpu 512mbs of ram. And has ICS. Works more powerfull than P1010

I dont think samsung will support p1010..

And dont wait for any developers to create Rom for p1010, any developer is not interest about p1010. This is my second mistake to buy Samsung Device.

I use p1010 just for gps in the car. Samsung P1010 just usefull for GPS locator.
[Galaxy Tab General] samy.3660:
Ok, you just bought a device which has no camera. FYI theres is cooking ics for p1010 in general section by motafaco. . .
[Galaxy Tab General] gogomogo:
no need for camera. I don't take photo, my phone has more quality than p1010

so there is no apk for videochat MSN. no need for cam.

thanks to motafaco, he helps you. but just one developer.

and you think CWM7 will be stable at the first build? will be more bugs and you have to wait for fixed build. then CWM9. camera, sensor, hardware acceleration and touchscreen driver will not work, then alpha1, alpha2, alpha3 to beta. then RC1. and more bugs and you will wait for fix again. then Full build will be stable.

i mean in 2015 or 2016 p1010 users will use stable ICS 4.0 ROM. maybe Google can release Android 7.0 or 8.0 in that time. i am not joke. :)

believe me it goes so slow.

there are alot of ROMs for p1000. Customs, ICS, HoneyComb, etc.

for p1010? just original GB ROM. there is no Custom ROM. no ICS etc.

There are alot of Developer Team for p1000. and p1010?

HyperDroid team, Madteam, Overcome Team.

For example;

MadTeam, Overcome Team or other team can support P1000 and Build ROM, why HyperDroid Team build also for P1000?

this is competition to be preminent in sth trifling?, or Help Android Users for using newest software? why anyone didn't think to help P1010?

CynagenMod also fail. I asked some developers to help p1010, some of them said "NO". some of them want "DONATE" for ROM not builted yet. must be

retention. haha. i am tired. i spent 110 dollars buy new tablet. i am happy.

most of Developers are just idiot. I will sell my p1010.

there is anyone to buy Samsung GT p1010 for 150dollars? 23 months international warranty.
[Galaxy Tab General] samy.3660:
Sorry to say but you have bought a device with mips processor, means most of the app won't work with it, and there will be, i think, hardly any support. Samsung atleast has a place in xda.

[Galaxy Tab General] :
Strange behavior after GB update

So, I have two (2) Galaxy Tab Wifi P1010's, and saw something interesting (at least to me). I followed the OP procedure to upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread.

Both tabs were running identical software before. Both are the white Wifi only tabs, bought from the same supplier just one week apart. The ONLY discernable difference between these two tabs is that the serial number on one of them starts with R61, and the other one starts with R62.

R62 upgrade went great. I flashed back to original Froyo as in OP Step 2. Went through the five intro screens, and all was well. No FCs or anything, so I thought, "Wow! I'm lucky". I skipped step 3 (I assume this is the "Hong King" kernel?) and since I was able to boot into Froyo (step 4), went straight to step 5. Gingerbread installed beautifully, with absolutely no problems whatsoever, and it's running great.

R61 upgrade went differently. After step 2, I had repeated FCs in the white screen, so I installed the HK kernel (step 3). This got me to Froyo (step 4) and into Gingerbread (step 5).

Then, each time I would boot R61, an interesting thing occured, which was this: The logo came up, the graphics, the music, the glowing SAMSUNG, and then the lock screen... but 5 seconds after the lock screen came up the device would play the last HALF of the boot music again, reset the clock to 00:00, and go back to the lock screen with the time lost.

This behavior existed only on R61, and repeated itself on every reboot, no matter what I did... factory reset, reflash, you name it... until I bound it to a Wifi hotspot. It then set the clock, and has been happy ever since - even when NOT connected to Wifi.

This is not a complaint, but simply a data point. On the R61 unit, it clearly wasn't going to be happy until it was able to set its clock, and it's been fine ever since. I mention this in case it helps someone else.

Anyway a HUGE thank you to Taney for putting these instructions up and making them so clear! As I discovered, I needed BOTH the "non-Step-3" AND the "Step-3" options - one for each of what appeared to be otherwise identical Tabs - and now I'm happily on Gingerbread with both tabs - and VERY HAPPY!

THANK YOU! AND I AM DONATING RIGHT NOW!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] 1337GameDev:
Wish i was as lucky. my tab seems to be bricked :(

Everything went fine, and was stable. Could even install apps, rbeoot and such. Then about a day later after charging it and locking it, it just never came back on. Wont turn on. I have no idea why. Blah. Wish samsung wasnt so picky with thier devices :/ It works, then kills itself :/

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

Ummmm no you cant?:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

You cant just swap chips. If you want to promote another device, don't do it here. Only for GT owners / users. And ARM is the way to go for mobile, thats what all the devs are compiling to (due to apple's support into ARM) and mips is not very supported.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATION!! =)))))))))))

That's so strange! I never noticed anything with the time issue because connecting to WIFI is the first thing I usually do. Plus, that happens with certain third-party ROMs with other devices. I've already rooted over a dozen devices. :P

Thank you again, glenbarney!

No Download Mode

Hi,

My device does not enter to the "Download Mode" as described in the "P1010-Flashguide.pdf" when pressing the "Power On" + "Volumn Down" buttons at the same time. My device is from US:

Model: GT-P1010

Firmware: 2.2.1

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 se.infra@SEI-29 #1

Build: FROYO.UEKC6

Please help. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] aludal:
First, make sure your combo of button presses takes Power and Volume DOWN, not UP. Press and hold Vol Down first, then Power ON.

I have a little more detailed taney procedure in my blog, see the link in my Contact info, and don't forget to comment when you are successful.
[Galaxy Tab General] yanbingyu:
Finally figured out that the device will not enter "Download Mode" while the USB cable is connected to the PC. Now installed the GB image according to taney's instructions, the device is running ok. Thanks.

Browsed the pages aludal indicated, learned a lot interesting internal details about the Samsung WiFi only Tab. Wish I read these info before I bought the device in last April/2011. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] aludal:
LOL. Wish I myself read my notes on P1010 exactly then, April 2011, when I've got my unit. Problem is they were not written then.

However, not everything is lost. XDA-Developers have a good progress putting Ice Cream Sandwich on Nook Color (which is based on TI OMAP3621 that is pretty much like P1010's OMAP3630). So, ICS on P1010 is the next step.

Oh and thank you for visiting my blog. Keep following it, and you will know a lot about many tablets that interest me.

yangbingyu: if you were succesful folowing taney procedure, could you please share your experiences in cleaning the Samsung's bloatware? I'm planning to do it myself and make a write-up that could be useful.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
You can remove the bloatware with ES Explorer, there's an option to enable 'Root Explorer'. Download the latest version from the Market.

See below:

screenshots are from my Galaxy Nexus but it's the same for any Android 2.2+.

1) Go to the 'Settings' screen

2) Change home directory to '/'

3) Tick the 2 marks on the bottom

4) Browse to /system/app

5) Delete whichever app you don't want, but do it with caution (I usually move these files to /sdcard and move back if it causes any type of force close)

If you totally borked out the system in such a way that you can't boot, you can always move it back in recovery via ADB (much more complicated process but it's possible).

Also, why not do a nandroid backup before messing with deep system files? :P

I'll post this in OP - 3rd post.
[Galaxy Tab General] aludal:
Thank you taney! It was very kind of you. I first need to sort out things with CWM that works for my newly acquired Gingerbread, then root it -- I suppose. I'd also wanted to know if there anything about safe cleaning of TouchWiz (for any other Samsung device where it was proven safe). My aim in this is getting to Android 2.3 AOSP as pristine as possible, then apply whatever CM7 tweaks and optimizations that may turn useful.
[Galaxy Tab General] taney:
Root with CF-Root is the best way IMO via 2nd post.
[Galaxy Tab General] nano-kun:
could anyone tell me whether the FROYO rom from the first post odexed or deodexed ? 'coz I need a deodexed one. thanks in advance
