Hi there, it's not a noob quest just 'cuz as you can see in my first post I have had your same issue and I reporter it... Well this morning it just worked, I tried to set and I've finally seen APN menu :confused:

The only thing that changed from yesterday it's just

I reflashed ROM (yesterday evening)...

I turned device off yesterday night (so rebooted)

And I added some contacts extracted from SIM Card

It let me even edit APNs now as well

Don't really know if it could help you but I just tried to show you all things I did before it worked :)

thanks man..maybe i'll try it again..this an awesome rom..thnaks to aorth..:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] cdrom1028:
Well I finally installed. looks great but with out the Wifi I had to roll my P6210 back to stock.

this is a really great start..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ldloh2:
Hi, where did you get the ROM, all download on 1st post are Updates only, when I flash them, its just said "updating" then the tablet rebooted back to Honeycomb 3.2, what happen ? what do I need to do ? thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
What version are you using (P6200 or P6210)?

Are you rooted?

What version of CWM are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ldloh2:
Hi, I'm using P6200 rooted, I've downloaded Rom Manager v5.0.0.7 from market and flashed the CWM recovery to v4.0.1.5, does the Honeycomb need to be DeOdexed ? I downoaded CWM v5 in the 1st post ? its a .img but don't know how to flash. Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
I believe aorth ported a newer 5.x.x. CWM specifically for the P6200 tab.

Also, a deodexed ROM does nothing more than allow editing of xml's and such for theming.

And that .img is most likely a file to be flashed in heimdall. You might want to read up on using heimdall somewhere here on XDA or just google it. I haven't used heimdall a whole lot, so I dnt want to confuse you and/or give u improper instructions on how to use it. Maybe someone more knowledgeable with it can chime in.

But, in a nut shell, I believe your CMW 4.x.x MAY be to blame for the "bad flashing" CM9 zip
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
While I don't know any particular reason ClockworkMod Recovery 4.x.x wouldn't work, I'd recommend using the CWM 5.0.2.8 linked in the first post. I didn't even know that you could download recovery for the Tab 7+ through ROM Manager.

Maybe it would be easier if I created a flashable zip... not everyone knows how to use Heimdall (shame!).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] cdrom1028:
I used the P6210 (DP3.1, May 17, 2012) Image in the OP..

P6210, but no usable Wifi so back to stock I had to go...\

Rooted, are you kidding? of course .. :-)

I use the ClockworkMOD Recovery from garyd9, but I dont use ROM Manager.. I just manually boot to the CMR, this seems like i get more controll, and I totally agree about Heimdall, much more stable then Odin..

aorth, thanks for all the effort adopting the P6210, once Wifi is working we aill all be smiling..

CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 for P6210

To bring the P6210 up to speed with the P6200, here's the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery (5.5.0.4) from the ICS branch of CWM. Any brave testers? If I get the thumbs up I'll replace the link in the first post.

Download: Mediafire (md5: 91abb149a266beee7f32126442c4e84a)

Flash (with device in Odin mode): heimdall flash --recovery p6210-clockworkmod-5.5.0.4.img

Remember to use Heimdall version 1.3.1 or less (1.3.2 has a bug which sometimes causes flashing to fail).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
What changes does this new CWM have? Is it the touch based CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] patasenko:
Flashed the recovery, seems to work because i flashed ics with it. The only thing i missed was usb mount option.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
I believe the Touch Based CWM is version 5.8.x.x

So no, it isn't the touch based recovery, just a newer CWM version than the one Gary originally gave us
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
It is the latest recommended version of ClockworkMod, built from the Ice Cream Sandwich branch of https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery

It's built as a part of the build process, so it's nice to have one which is current, and closer to the version I'm using/recommending on the P6200. :)

Ah, USB mounting of the removable SD card? I'll have to look into that. For now, at least I know it works and I'll put a link in the first post. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] locerra:
This has never worked on the tab 7.7. The option was there, but it just gave an error. Also apparently this feature is not well maintained and frequently breaks, because the CWM developers don't care about it (the philosophy is that if you are transferring files in recovery, you should be using adb).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
I've certainly used it on other devices, and the original poster seemed to imply that it was working on whatever recovery he was using (garyd9's?). I won't waste any time on it, but if he says its working then I suppose it is useful to have working for those of us who have removable SD cards. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ldloh2:
Hi, Thanks everyone for the help, I've downloaded the CMW ver 5 and installed the CM9 Rom, work perfectly fine, very fast with no hangs. Only down side is no WIFI and Bluetooth. Keep up the good work Dev.

Aorth

Thanks for all your hard work on this, I bought a P6200 specifically to try out your build.

No major bugs not already identified.....

1. Smallesque issue, not sure if it's upstream though. If you turn on the AM/PM on clock in small letters it doesn't actually show up, instead showing time without any AM/PM indicator (although the position of the clock changes as you toggle AM/PM on and off).

I'm just about to do a rebuild on a spare quad core 2.56Ghz xeon with hyper (so effectively octocore), as I hate Gnome 3 I'm either going to rebuild as Fed14 or latest Mint. I'm not sure how fast your compiling box is so would it be any use if I put a dev environment on there to fast compile builds?

If yes drop me a PM and let me know what you'd want setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kodfish:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
You didn't notice that wifi's missing? ;) Hehhee.

Hmm, I never noticed that. I just tested on CM9 on my Galaxy Nexus and the AM/PM show fine. Lets keep an eye on this one. I didn't see anything obvious in logcat...

I build on a quad-core Core i7-2600 with 16 gigs of RAM, so I'm ok. ;) I'd LOVE some help testing, cleaning device repos, documenting, feeding trolls, investigating/fixing bugs, etc. Have you got the build environment set up yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pinsb:
No I haven't set up the build environ yet, I'm going to do the rebuild tomorrow during the bank holiday (If you want to see how crazy the Diamond Jubilee celebrations are now in the UK look at the TV news or the BBC website.......).

It'll take me about 3-4 hours to do the 'clean' build as I have a load of scripts, apps and configurations to do to get the box how I like it. As I haven't played with Mint yet I may put that on there as a test build first to check it out.

My chip is the same as a Core i7 860 so your chip is faster anyway but I have a few of these babies in Mini ITX boxes so very handy to move around if needed. I'm waiting for Haswell before I do my next hardware upgrade cycle and hoping they bring out octocore chips with hyperthreading which would be a great piece of kit in a Mini ITX box.

Brick bug...

Maybe you guys have heard, but some early ICS ROMs for Galaxy Note and other similar Galaxy S II variants have triggered hard bricks due to faulty MMC firmware handling erase commands improperly. I never bothered to read up about the issue until now,

but it looks like we should also be careful

.

Chainfire just released a tool to print out whether your device has a known-bad firmware revision, Got BrickBug?. As you can see, my device has firmware revision 0x19. This revision has been known to cause hard bricks on other devices using Samsung ICS ROMs.

CM9 is safe (Entropy512 haxx0red the kernel), but we should be careful.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] [David]:
CM9 is safe on Note I can assure it... Issues with Note was in wiping from some repacked stock kernels. You had to flash a GB kernel for wiping otherwise it was brick! CM9 kernel is one the few really safe, trust me I own it (even flashed Thor kernel for AOSP without issue) ;)

"........my computer.........."

So you only have one computer, how sad and lonely it must be......
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Yes, but remember: this is a low-level flash firmware we're talking about, it doesn't matter whether it's HoneyComb or not. What this tells you is whether your flash hardware is running a ****ty firmware, not whether your ROM/kernel will actually brick it or not.

Now that we know some of our devices have faulty flash hardware, we should be careful. Like I said, CM9's Samsung kernel is safe as of a few days ago. We have no reason to believe that HoneyComb kernels can accidentally brick devices with ****ty firmwares.

You're probably ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] CrisisCorE:
Looks good! The stuff thats missing... Like wifi, is it possible for you to make them work? I mean is it just a matter of time or cant you do them?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mobilx:
Hello Aorth,

I have asked the question regarding to this issue a month ago. I'm glad that it is fixed now.

Послато са GT-P6200
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Well, our flash storage firmware (in the hardware) is vulnerable, but our software isn't.

The problem with the Galaxy Note was that their flash storage uses a buggy firmware, and the kernel used in the official ICS ROMs triggers the "hard brick" accidentally. Gingerbread kernels on the same hardware didn't have this behavior. It means we still need to be careful, for example when Samsung releases ICS for Tab 7+, as it might contain a kernel which triggers the hard brick under certain circumstances.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Entropy512:
Yup. Don't touch leaks for your device - wait for source you can review for safety.

Yes: I'm going to the bank, and then to the grocery store. That is the only update I have.

Oh, you want an update about the ROM? I might post a new build for P6200 since CM9's had a lot of changes anyways... Oh, and locerra cracked his screen last week, and he was the only one with a clue about the wifi. P6210 is out of luck, as wifi is completely broken.

Cid boot animation

The new Cid bootanimation has been merged into CM9... but it looks a bit off... aahha.

@chris, maybe now that the new boot animation is out you can fix it and upload to gerrit? Or, if you fix it I'll upload it. :)

Edit: Fixed...

Still looks like crap, but at least it's the right orientation. Chrisrotolo should still fix the aspect ratio ;)

Bluetooth is go!

It was super ghetto... but:

Basically, we use a CSR bluetooth chip, not Broadcom like all the other Exynos 4210 variants. Get ready for ghetto-ness:

adb shell
su
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
bccmd -t bcsp -d /dev/ttySAC0 psload -r /etc/PSConfig_8811.psr
/system/bin/hciattach -n -p /dev/ttySAC0 bcsp 3000000 flow

Yah. Now I need to make it prettier.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
i can definetly fix the bootanimation soon as i get a few minutes. Is the Bluetooth calling for bluetooth headsets, etc? or did you fix bluetooth alltogether??

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Well, I've only tried scanning and file transfer. I have no reason to think calling won't work, but I can't try it because I don't have a bluetooth headset.

Lemme know if you get around to hacking the boot animation. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
downloading now... couldnt find a larger size anywhere. had to download the entire CM_common branch. My internet is fairly slow.

should be done tonight.

how would you like it displayed? horizontal/normal?

the horizontal-1024x600.zip in the cm9 branch works beautifully.

there it is. should be the same one in your pic. the images are actually 1024 x 600. I think it looks fine, except that Cid dude looks like the evil soul/spirit of a cat.

i made a 640 x 1024 (to preserve aspect ratio) give it a shot. edit: damn thing is always saying a security token is missing after upload. I'll have to try dropbox.

my tab is hard bricked from trying the Logo Me App. #myfault.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mobilx:
In my modest opinion vertical-600x1024 should be more appropriate for our phone/tablet device.

Any news as to how wifi fix is doing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Yeah. If the Samsung boot logo is any indicator, I guess the "native" orientation is 600x1024, ie portrait... I'll try it in my next build.

Yes, we all want wifi to work... but you make it sound like I'm purposefully withholding it from you. ;) If it was easy to fix, locerra or I would have fixed it by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Yeah, the 1024x600 one which just got merged into CM looks ok actually. It has some artifacts, though. The one you tweaked last time didn't have 'em. I guess it's due to compression maybe, not the aspect ratio.

Funny... I just looked at the 600x1024 one, and it's still Andy, the old logo. I tried to convert the 800x1280 one but it kept displaying squashed when in portrait mode. *hands up*, I give up for now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mobilx:
Thanks! I have also tried to convert 800x1280 and 720x1280 but the result was bad. We need the original 600x1024 from the designer.

I like Andy more then CID if you ask me:-P

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
must need to edit the desc.text, I was bugging the developer of Logo Me App for our support, he need our 1st and 2nd partitions and build.prop, I think it involves unpacking bootloader and repacking, looked like it would work well, successful on others. It showed our bootlogo and byte size, I got a proper image loaded, press reboot, and that was end of story, no recovery, no download, no usb device, no charge, no nothing. ( I'd bet a jig would work ) I have a couple promising leads for JTAG. I should have listen to you @Aorth a while back when you told me dont kill myself trying to change the bootlogo.

actually I think we need to rotate all of the images, (it seems to keep the device default orientation so..) then we change the desc. I can try this later If you're interested.

cheers.

:p

On a serious note, thanks for the update. I have *some* porting experience, I might jump in and try to help again. I was set back due to some n00bish mistakes when setting up my Linux partition not too long ago :p

I also know a great kernel dev who has an OG GTab. Said he'd help out with what he could, let me know if ur interested in getting in contact with him
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Adiost:
Hey aorth,

Could you please tell me, is your CM9 kang compatible with GT-P6201? It is a german version of 6200, there are no hardware changes I believe, however, firmware packages are different.

And also about wifi (I'm really sorry for asking lol), I'm a developer as well, and I ported ICS 4.0.4 to EVO 3D multiple times without any issues regarding wifi. What is wrong, could you tell me? Maybe I could help you. Is this issue somehow related to kernel modules?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] locerra:
Because of the asserts you can't currently install it on the P6201. It also may have a different vibrator (looking at the kernel sources), but that would be an easy thing to fix.

The wifi module that shipped in honeycomb is apache licensed, and unfortunately Samsung decided to not release their modifications for the driver. Since the kernel we are using is not based off of the honeycomb kernel sources, but instead off of the galaxys2 ICS kernel sources, we cannot even hope to try to use the binary wifi module.

Samsung has merged all of the Exynos kernels into one common kernel, from which we have been able to deduce that they are moving over to the GPL wifi driver for the ICS update (whenever that is), unfortunately it also looks like they made some changes in wpa_supplicant, which is causing us issues.

It doesn't help that there is only one CM9 supported device that has our wifi chip: the HP Touchpad. Talking with those devs though, they say that the touchpad is much more like pc hardware than other android devices, so they were able to use the mainstream linux driver without too much issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Adiost:
Oh, thanks for such advanced explanation. I just bought the device, I didn't look up for sources yet so I didn't know it's licensed under Apache. It is really sad actually and practically it doesn't make sense. What's the point of licensing only one component under closed-source licence and releasing everything else under GPL? Sometimes I believe there are women in charge of Samsung, if you know what I mean :D

About hardware changes, thanks for explaining. I was worried if something else is different, something more significant. I was choosing between P6200 and P6201, the german version looks so much better, those speakers are lovely! It is really good that it has almost similar hardware :)

And since you're so good at explanations, could you please tell me more about Samsung development policy? I had dozen of android devices, but all of them were manufactured by HTC. What about ICS release? HTC really sucks at this, they've been promising update for many devices, and by the time they cancelled it for many of them. What about Samsung? I've heard of Samsung being dickhead by cancelling SGS update, this will not affect us, GT7+ owners, right? :D And why is there ICS on GT2 while we're still on HC, and the most reasonable question: why does it even exist? It's just a copy of our tablet, why?

Thanks in advance and sorry for being curious :D

UPD: what about infrared port? I've heard some of GT7+ versions has it, what's that for? The last IrDA phone I had was Siemens S75, seven years ago, who would need infrared in 2012? :D And it seems I doesn't have one Oo
