I appreciate your reply. I actually got it working after quite a bit of work. I'm not sure exactly what combination finally did the trick, but I think it was just a matter of flashing a different .tar file that I found in another thread. I'm guessing the one listed in the first post wasn't compatible with my Tab. I'm really not sure though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jjbz:
in case anyone was still running the stock T-MOBILE honeycomb rom for the t859 without a functioning lock screen and power menu:

install pershoot's oc kernel from droidbasement (posted in january 2012). it oc's to 1.4ghz and can be adjusted via setcpu. installing this kernel will restore lock screen and power menu (and make it faster too). make sure to install the one from jan 2012 for honeycomb (NOT ics).

be sure to back up apps and data with titanium because flashing this kernel (boot) will reset rom to stock. also, you will need to flash superuser again to obtain root. i think this is a worthwhile trade-off to regain a functioning lock screen and power menu.

I was able to root but when i tried to flash cm9 (nightlies). Partway through i keep getting a tmp/sideload/package error. What am i doing wrong?

I'm not sure what I did wrong but I my t-mobile tablet wont let me overclock it shows 608mhz max 528mhz min

What steps did you take?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 4.3:
thank you for replying to my post.

I downloaded pershoots kernel "boot-cm_2636.4_tmo-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-010912.zip" Here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2479

I pluged in the tablet opened up the file and copied and pasted the zip folder in the sd folder.

turned off the power button and then held the power button and volume down button to get in to CWM and went in to the SD folder looking for the above file and clicked it and it loaded and rebooted.

after reboot i downloaded the set cpu and it only shows ranges 608 max 528 min.

and then it said then it says "your su binary is outdated? so i clicked on update and it tired to update but it gives me the same message.

i've tried to redownload the zip file and install from CWM again but no luck.

I then downloaded the pershoots kernel for galaxy wifi only and the "su binary is outdated" updated and that went away but the setcpu is still at the same ranges and cant be modified.

I have no idea what this is for as i tired to install it and went to CWM and it could not see it.

Thrice! Me too....I am needing the .pit file for our SGH-T859 as well, as I flashed the wrong pit (P7500), so now I am unable to return to stock because of the same "partition error message" Please if anyone smarter can help us out. I will GREATLY appreciate it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ebonydad:
No. Ultimately I had to install CM9 to get to ICS. I first installed a P7510 UK ROM by mistake. That didn't take of course. Then I tried to install the Official ICS Italian ROM. Every time I try to install the Italian ICS ROM, the tablet get stuck on the Samsung logo. I try to install the T-Mo ROM, and then it complains about the partition. I tried to check "Re-Partition" in ODIN, but it still didn't work.

Basically, the only way right now I can get ICS on my Tablet is to install P7500OXAKI1 ROM, root it, then install AOKP or CM9. I would really like the official ICS so I can get the camera to work, plus to get Flash support. My wife and son want to be upgraded to ICS to get Chrome, but I won't chance it until I figure this out.

Any help would be appreciated. I should be patient for the T-Mo update, but I am not holding my breath for it.

TIA

ICS Update on Galaxy T859

Thank you for this T859 Bible!

Just picked up my Gtab T859.

Rooting was a breeze!

I have tried all the recommended custom roms. But I still think all of them fall short of the stock ROM in terms of functionality.

I have tried the recent ICS rom (P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5) for UK and actually that for Italy too.

I got an error about small partition. See attachment below

I guess that means It requires installation of Ext4 partition. If s how do you partition to Ext4?

Has anyone tried it yet?

Thanks for this forum!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] suhsintsun:
Same here. I'm only getting edge support!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bigcountryed:
I was only able to flash it back to regular honeycomb stock w/ TouchWiz by ODIN'ing this .md5 file "P7500DXKH4_P7500OLBKH1_P7500XWKG1_HOME.tar.md5" from

http://polppolservice.com/ul/index.php?dir=tab10.1backup/

I didn't care that it wasn't T-Mobiles stock T895. I was just happy that it worked! Now that its up, I thought I was going to be able to either update it to ICS through the update screen in settings or using KIES software.

The update screen in settings told me that "there is no update available at this time"[B/]

And KIES software tells me that I can't upgrade.

Still not sure about the base-bands, and other cryptic info encrypted in our model. I thought that by successfully flashing this, that it somehow magically fixed the previous ext partition 4 error message.

So I tried to re ODIN the stock T-Mobile HC firmware, but unfortunately, still got the same error code as before:

I then flashed back the only rom that works for me which is P7500DXKH4_P7500OLBKH1_P7500XWKG1_HOME.tar.md5. As I stated before, everything works. (haven't tried the 4G, purchased it on eBay). I'm confused because I don't know what version this is, whats the baseband or, what country its from. I just want to put back on the stock T-Mobile T895 rom and ughhh........ :( wait for T-Mo to give us the ICS update. So has ANYONE who flashed the p7500.pit file been able to successfully get back to T-Mobiles stock T895 firmware?

p.s., I posted a screenshot below of the "about" screen for my tablet with the P7500DXKH4_P7500OLBKH1_P7500XWKG1_HOME.tar.md5 rom if it helps.

Anybody know when 4.0.4 update coming for T-Mobile 10.1?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] suhsintsun:
T-Mobile's SGH-T859 has different partition for all other versions of Galaxy Tab 10.1. When you flashed the P7500's pit file for the first time, it converted your tablet to the P7500 version's partition. Therefore, you are able to flash all stock firmwares through ODIN EXCEPT the T-Mobile's stock firmware.

In short, we need someone to share the T-Mobile's pit file before we can go back. Also, only T-Mobile's firmware will enable T-Mobile's 4G (AWS band).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bigcountryed:
Thanks man for the feedback.

So does anyone have the T-Mobile .pit file (or knows how to extract it from a previous update) that we need in order to restore our Tab back to stock T-Mobile Rom?

The only stock Rom I can flash now is p9700 honey comb. If I try to either Odin or update to p9700 icecream sandwich. The tablet won't boot up. So I think it's checking the baseband or something which is not allowing it to fully load up.

I p.m. Pershoot, but haven't heard anything back yet.

Thanks guys. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bigcountryed:
So......does anyone have this illusive file?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GrandMstrBud:
Isn't the stock firmware link in the first post?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bigcountryed:
Yes, but the proper .pit file must be embedded in there somewhere. That's why those of us who flashed the 7500 pit file cannot go back to T-Mobile stock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bigcountryed:
I hit up Pershoot but haven't gotten a reply or response. I really don't know what to do. So frustrated with my tablet right now (and the Apple verdict) starting to regret getting this T-Mobile tab :(

Are you telling me that you flashed the wrong pit file on your tab too and was able to hook up the Tab to Kies and successfully restore it to the new T-Mobile ics stock?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ebonydad:
If you hosed your Tablet by installing the wrong Firmware, you will still have an issue installing the new T-Mo Stock ROM.

After asking around, I say unless we can find someone with an official T-Mobile .PIT file for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, your best bet would be to use CM9. I haven't tried AOKP after the last time I had to re-install the base P7500 image.

Pershoot has been doing an excellent job keeping up with the T-Mo updates for the CM9, so I will probably be sticking with that.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

No promises, but I will start asking some of the people I know at T-Mo and see if anyone knows where I can find a .PIT file.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GrandMstrBud:
CM10 works good and I think just the front camera works with a patch last time I checked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EfoK:
Hi Bigcountryed,

I don't believe i quite understand your problem yet.

I have flashed all sorts of things and always went back to stock with no problems. i even flashed XXLQ8 Android 4.0.4, etc. The latter will not even boot up till I flashed Pershoot ICS kernels, but then I don't see usb and the old partitions.

If you have a custom recovery, which I think you do, and have made a prior nandroid or CWM backup before all these flashing, why not try restore from recovery? You will have to wipe everything in that case - (factory reset, cahe, Dalvik, format system). If you don't have any backup I could send you my stock rom nandroid backup (custom recovery and rooted of course).

I used this kernel from boot-cm_2636.4_tmo_ics-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-071112 from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/. This runs on both stock amd custom ICS roms. You may try flashing one for ICS and see if that allows you to flash tmo stock.

ai currently use this kernel -2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+root@pershoot-ubuntu #1.

The small ext4 partition error I had was with the P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_ITV rom via Odin.

If I could be any further help.

Thanks.

It did not wipe my data, but I lost root though.

Any ideas on rooting?

Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ebonydad:
I think that the problem may be is what I went through. If you install the P7510 ROM (WIFI-only) on the SGH-T859, you will wipe a partition which is required for the SGH-T859 (T-Mobile USA) ROM. Even if you get a hold of a Official T-Mobile USA ROM, it will fail because the partition is gone. If you try to re-partition in ODIN, it still fails. The thought is that if you get the correct T-Mobile .PIT file, this will re-partition the Galaxy Tab correctly to install the T-Mobile specific ROM.

At this point, the only thing you can do is to install a P7500 ROM, root it, then apply an ICS ROM.

Trust me... I have spent many of hours trying to get the official T-Mobile ROM to take.

hi has anybody found the pit file for t-mobile sgh-t859 ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ebonydad:
Ultimately what I had to do is to call up T-Mobile, which handed me off to Samsung (my Tablet is under warranty), and tell them that my tablet froze during upgrading with Kies.

(I had the screen which said that I needed to restore my tablet with Kies.)

I was told I had to ship the tablet in. When they found out I was in Dallas, then sent me to a repair center. All the guy did was plug it in, restore the image with a T-Mo Android 3.2 image, and then hand it back to me.

No money was exchanged since it was under warranty.

Hi,

i got myself a T-mobile T859, and my plan was 1st to root it, then unlock the sim in order to insert my sim card into it (i don't live in the states)..

I already have my (htc desire, Nexus 7, nexus4) all rooted and running custom roms. but with this tablet i can't get a proper root with it...

it's running ICS 4.0.4

i followed your guide here and the steps of djR37 to the point... i installed CWM, and i flashed the root.zip file and it told me that it's complete ...

i finish everything, and after the final reboot it logs in normally, but when i try to install busybox from the market, or run "Rootchecker" it tells me theres' a problem with Superuser or with your root previliges... and tells me to make sure i am well rooted.

i can't unlock the GSM sim lock without the busy box, because i will need to use adb commands for the unlock as it's described here in this tutorial :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843323

it's fine now , I flashed a separate Superuser zip from here :

It's been well over a year and a half since I did it and I didn't have any issues. Is it prompted for "Root" access when you opened it? If it's not then maybe you accidentally hit deny? You can remove it from the list of apps in superuser and try again or go into applications and clear data on the Galaxy Tab unlock program.

Problem

Hello everyone! Please excuse me for bad English:)

I got T-Mobile Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G (SGH-T859). Previous owner of this device had flashed a wrong ROM (I even don't know which one), so tablet is not starting. I have tried to return it to working condition, and occured two problems:

1) When I try to recover stock ROM (according Section IV of this manual), I found out that hotfile.com is blocked, so I can't download stock ROM from it. I tried to find it (T859UVKJ3_T859TMBKJ3_TMB) somewhere else in internet, but it can't found any. So, I tried to flash an updated version of it (T859UVLH6_T859TMBLH6_TMB), which i got from sammobile.com, but I got an error - "Partition size is small, WriteExt4Partion:Error."

2) So, when I failed to flash the stock ROM, I decided to try CyanogenMod (cm-10.1-20140216-NIGHTLY-p4tmo). I flashed Clockwork recovery (v.4.0.0.4), but when I try to mount USB storage from it, to download .zip to the tablet, I got an error - "Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)". So, I unable to flash a ROM this way too.

Could anyone please help me to solve this problems?.. Working link to stock T859UVKJ3 ROM? Or any way to fix described errors?

I'd be very grateful !!
