My method wont change your IMEI. This is only if you want to use a different carriers SIM. Unlocking has nothing to do with phone capabilities or flashing other ROMs.
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
I thought that by unlocking it allowed you guys to bypass the Tmobile block on data with the euro rom on a normal data and voice plan? I've reread the thread constantly no I'm losing on how you guys at getting around the block
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I can't get around the block. Thats why I needed to unlock the Tab, then insert a non-tmobile SIM, and get internet and phone.

So my Tab works as a phone AND I have internet (EDGE only) AND I'm NOT using T-mobile's SIM card.
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
Great thanks roto that clarified a lot i've really gone through this thread and others back an forth and it tends to get confusing what the current status of things, now debating if I should flash it just so I can get the phone to work and use my other phone as a AP for the momment...

So is there still anybody that isn't blocked? or know how long till u do get blocked?
[Galaxy Tab General] jarez:
APN

I just got this today. I am amazed to learn it doesn't have phone services. I thought this tab was competing with the Dell Streak. I've added launcher pro...I can't find ADW for some reason but, anyhow, I pressed the phone icon to see that that is says Dialer not supported so I installed aDialer and of course it just hiccups. I'm sure its just a few conf files changes and adding binaries but installing firmware is quick and dirty, lol.

Anyone tried changing the APN? I recall when I changed from an N-Gage to G1 T-mobile told me they needed to change my web services but all it did was change APNs. I was getting the same kind of deal with the G1 browser going directly to a tmobile url. If someone can compare working 3g APN to the "go directly to tmobile" APN, most folks can manually add the working 3g APN to work properly perhaps fix the Edge issue as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] sil3ncer7:
Search for "ADW Launcher app" and thatll put the app toward the top up the list (within the top 10) or so

I've created another thread specifically for those with questions and discussion relating to the AT&T carrier and getting a fully-functional (phone/3G) Galaxy Tab working:

USA AT&T Galaxy Tab questions answered here

I did this because I can see that AT&T questions for the Galaxy Tab are gonna clutter and confuse T-Mobile peeps trying to get info in this thread.
[Galaxy Tab General] jtc442:
Ok, just to verify, yes, I used roto's way to unlock my tab. The unlock worked great. I installed an active att sim this morn, entered the apn settings, and everything worked, except phone of course.

anyone with a Canadian Tab want to send me a dump of bml12 ?
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
curious did anyone try more then one sim on tmobile, on a post earlier someone stated that they only blocked his main sim but the others still had edge , still waiting for a response from him but has anyone else checked if there only blocking one number with the imei?
[Galaxy Tab General] cmolson:
I can send you a Bell Galaxy Tab bin.

Attached file is the bml12 dump (dd if=/dev/bml12 of=/xxxxx bs=4096)

FYI I cannot get voice calls with this, but perhaps it is somehow different than the US ones.

Flashed my Rogers tab (same frequency used by AT&T) with euro firmware. Went into the settings and picked 850 for wcdma and 3G works fine. Wondering if people tried going into the phone settings after flashing the euro firmware and manually selecting 1700/2100 to enable 3G?
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
And are you able to make calls on rogers after you flashed the euro firmware?

Have you verified you are connected to 850Mhz and not 1900Mhz?

oh and the only pit i did use was the dirt pit in the back of the house lol. hope this helps.

oh and if u think flashing is going to brick the tab think again if you crash get some sleep and go again that's what i did, at one point i thought it was done over finish but the tab just keeps kicking. good luck

3g here i come
[Galaxy Tab General] n1tro:
yes I can make calls on rogers. after the flash, it was defaulted to EDGE, but then I went into the phone setting using the *#xxxxxx code (can't remember) and I chose the wcdma 850 option and backed out and 3G/HSPA is working. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
do you have it set to GSM only, WCDMA only, or GSM/WCDMA? congrats on getting it to work and the code is *#2263# for those looking for it.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
What sim are u using? I'm trying to use my tab with my vibrant voice/android data sim, just waiting to see if anyone has been able to get 3g and voice working on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] n1tro:
I just went to the wcdma part and selected the 850 setting and it works. keep in mine for those who are not reading the whole thread. my tab is the rogers/at&t type flashed to euro firmware. It was defaulted as edge only until I went in and selected 850 wcdma only.
[Galaxy Tab General] torontocell:
n1tro, congrats. i will soon be picking my rogers tab. Any chance you can post some clear instructions as to how you flash the european rom? I am new to this and would need some help.

just follow the tutorials in the development section and you'll be fine
[Galaxy Tab General] jtc442:
(**EDIT** I need to add that yes, I unlocked my tab and I purchased a Simple Mobile plan as well.) It is a little confusing, believe me. I finally took the plunge a few hours ago. The first attempt, no market, second attempt, error messages galore, 3rd attempt, working like a charm!! I can tell you what i did if you want. Worked for me, but might not for everyone. Im using tmo usa, and flashed the euro rom to get phone. No 3g of course, yet, but phone works awesome.

[Galaxy Tab General] Gtabuser:
no data says edge but redirects

so i flashed the euro jk5 on tmo us tab, data is blocked but shows E - just redirects me to the t-mobile page... phone works and wifi until the fix... i have tryed many sim cards all with the same results... I have to say its the IMEI thats doing this... If your on TMO and are able to get past this LMK
[Galaxy Tab General] clovis_ll:
how'd you do it?
[Galaxy Tab General] jarez:
I have the euro firmware and unlocked the tmobile tab and used the ATT. I've tried changing the apns and it still get redirected. I get edge and redirect on tmobile and edge/G on AT&T. Just need 3G and no redirect.
[Galaxy Tab General] cmolson:
I have the bell ( same as Rogers) tab. As n1tro did I am able to get phone calls and 3g. I flashed the same firmware as op and then added the Rogers apn (my similar is Rogers). After adding the apn I had edge. Then I typed that number n1tro mentioned and picked either 850 or 1900 GSM I forget.. now I have the g symbol, and when using a lot of data it turns to an h.

1. Rooted with z4root

2. Downloaded Odin 1.70 zip file on sd card

3. Go into Rom Manager when I select "Backup Current Rom" get e signature verification error Installation aborted

4. Same if I try and install the Odin 1.70 from the sd.

If someone has a link to the old school way of getting on a custom rom that would be awesome b/c I can't find it anywhere or a way to fix this b/c driving me crazy!

I am from Europe and live in the US. I have bought the T mobile Galaxy tabs and I noticed the phone tab is missing.

I am a complete zero on this so pictures will help

[Galaxy Tab General] dalethefarmer:
You should return that Tab. T-Mob tabs do not work with phone and 3G data at the same time, get the ATT or get one back home...
[Galaxy Tab General] a in yul:
I too am curious to know how this was done; and will perhaps get the Bell Tab if indeed u r getting phone AND 3G working..!!

Will either use it on BELL network and/or on Rogers/FIDO; thks for the great news!!

Read the thread on the AT&T version, which is identical to the Bell and Rogers versions. All you need to know is in the first post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847273

[Galaxy Tab General] jarez:
Att mod is pretty much the same...anyone know if the Att tab does 3g with tmobile sim or simple mobile? i'll probably end up with an archos tab with all this nonsense. I except this from the freaking Chinese tabs but not a 599 one.

thks for the info, and for the link...:)

@jarez

I'm pretty sure if you go to the rotohammer "getting voice + 3G on the Tmo Tab" thread... near the end, someone said they did get 3g with voice on the ATT tab w/ a Tmo sim.... but double check that thread to be sure... would have been yesterday or early today I think.

Oh yeah... and this "nonsense" is all about enabling phone calling WHILE KEEPING 3G connections... since the Archos 70 doesn't have phone calling capabilities at all... you of course, will not be dealing with these issues.

[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Well, the adventure ends for now.

Returned the Tab back to the TMobile store today. LOVE the device, but the network is doing my head in.

Using a PAYG sim card, tried accessing the tmobile website to refill it, had a security error asking me to ring them (on a device that doesn't officially have a phone on it, right...).

Rang them up to try and get it reset and asked for a pin number I must admit being unable to remember setting up (needed for a PAYG card? I checked later all the receipts and paperwork they gave me, nothing). They said they couldn't really help me, I'd need to go back to the store I got the device from, who of course when I'd asked earlier said I had to ring TMobile up. I asked would it be simpler to just get a new sim card for 10 bucks and they hung up on me. Nice. I can be snotty with the best of them, but I was just trying to get the blasted thing working and was begging for help!

So, back to the TMobile shop, who weren't surprised to hear I'd been hung up on. That's a scary thing alone.

Also had problems with 'this site is locked, consult your provider' show up on a few pages which they seemed non-plussed about. Final nail in the coffin (as I was still going to keep the device at this point) was when they said they'd not be able to get my device unlocked for a few months, but I'd have to ring TMobile up to get that sorted ("Same people who hung up on me earlier? no thanks").

At that point, I'd had enough and asked for a full refund. Through some quirks of them not getting the tax right when I first ordered it, I actually got back 10 bucks more than I'd paid for it.

They factory reset the device, popped it back in it's box, and that's the last I saw of it.

I do miss it. Was getting far too used to having it in my pocket all the time to check stuff. And I'm sure I'll be getting another one. Just not TMobile. Probably AT&T so I can get the voice and 3G working easily together.

If I'm feeling /really/ petty at that point, I'll wander a couple of doors down from the AT&T store, back to the TMobile store and show them that it DOES work. Or maybe just wait for a purely wifi version only and use the skype routine. We'll see.

Good luck everyone.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
It is sad to hear such story but everyone has own expectations. I had similar hesitations. However, my experience with Vibrant phone showed that patience pays off. It had totally unusable GPS and Android 2.1 for a few months. However, now it has a good hardware, upgraded to 2.2, and works very well now.

I am disappointed with the US version of the Tab because of voice OR data only choice. But there are rumours that T-mobile will allow for having both in a few months.

Overall my experience is not bad because after flashing Euro modem I can have voice and after T-mobile - 3G data. I've purchased online 7-day data using sim card that came with the Tab without any problem and the Tab works on 3G (no voice). Flashing Euro modem gives me opportunity to use prepaid sim card for voice with no problem.

Need to note that the Tab is unlocked and has original IMEI.

I've used ATT Tab as well for a while. This one allows to have both voice and EDGE using T-mobile smartphone sim and plan. However, in my area ATT has twice of latency of T-mobile and even 3G is slow. Also I still have belief in T-mobile innovation and good customer care. Will see :-)

T-Mobile U.S. Galaxy Tab making phone calls "How to"

:confused: Can someone make a Youtube video of this process for the new jacks or the ones that don't really understand but would like to see the process being done?!?!? I think that would be nice.:D
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
If I find time I will make a list of "How to".

If someone cannot follow written instructions he or she should not attempt such things. Results could include corrupted firmware.
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
i was debating on doing the same since it took sometime to dig up in the posts what files go where etc.. in odin when i first was trying to flash (relating to the latest firmware) , if i do a video i should just link to this thread and the people that worked on it right? is that ok with the op? i was gonna do a video of the tab and my S.E. liveview when it came in anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] SteveSlimer:
Has anyone changed the APN (for the Tmo Tab) to the voicestream apn?
[Galaxy Tab General] kkawai:
I have USA T-Mobile Galaxy Tab. I downloaded all the files mentioned above, except I have the P1000OXAJK5.tar (instead of P1000OXAJK1.tar), which should be fine because it's newer.

Odin3 v1.7.exe

P1_20100909.pit (2k)

JHA.tar (339mb)

P1000OXAJK5.tar (338mb)

So, now what??

1) Start up Odin

2) Connect the Tab to Computer via USB.

3) The Tab is still powered on

4) The ID:COM now shows 0:[COM3] (it was blank before I connected USB)

5) Check AutoReboot, Check F Reset Time

6) Select the pit

7) Select the PDA (JHA.tar)

8) Uncheck repartition

9) Now what?? I'm scared to hit start

If the above works, then do the same but with P1000OXAJK5.tar

I also saw the Youtube Video (video id 5VZYemOHtOk)

But it just makes things more confusing, it looks like he skips steps (even though I don't know what the steps are).

Can you please clarify if I need to power up differently.

I fkn hate T-Mobile: just let us this the damn thing as a phone and 3G. *****es.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Patience my friend :-)

If they would give you both you would miss opportunity to learn your Tab.

So chill and do some reading.

BTW I would not use the newest firmware but instead one that has full ROM such as JJ4.

I did it initially and then reflashed only PDA and modem. It worked without a glitch.

Chill...

Europen version

Im plane to buy galaxy tab in europ can i use this tab in USA?

I'm going to use in T-mobile and i like to know can a make phone call and surf internet with my galaxy vibrant plan

Thenks for any info.
[Galaxy Tab General] kkawai:
Ok Mr. Adapt0r

I have chilled and read. Now, can somebody like yourself not mind explaining how to flash this using Odin in detail? I really love this tab, but if I cannot make calls with it, then I will just return it. This is ridiculous on tmobiles part. Let it be the cool big phone that it should be, meant to be.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
No, the Vibrant plan is blocked from usage on the Tab by T-Mobile and the Euro Tab will never get 3G on T-Mobile USA bands.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
You're scared because you wasted your time posting this instead of reading the threads for a few days.

You're basically saying you'd trust ONE post on the internet over the collective posts of hundreds of successful Tab owners. Thats scary!
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
I guess majority want one thing: give me straight answer and I don't want to learn. Obviously, they don't have works experience where you need to get the answer yourself. There no teachers around.

Now in regards to How to flash I would recommend reread initial posts in this thread. Your check list should include:

1. Root your Tab using z4root

2. Install Root explorer

3. Copy your most important data located in the system directory, at least in the system/efs on external_sd (make directory efs_backup on external_sd). This will preserve your original IMEI and serial number etc in case of failure.

4. Initial flash beter be done using P1000XWJJ4 file set that include full ROM with proper PIT file.

I did full flash twice on both AT&T and TMB Tabs without any glitches. The only complication is the booting in Russian. This is the only ROM supporting all European languages from Bulgarian to Ukrainian.

Then I reflashed only PDA component without PIT and repartition with fresher ROM build. I also tested different modem flashing the same way without selecting PIT and repartion.

5. Assuming that all necessary USB drivers are installed, unpack your ROM,

launch ODIN, then select and point to ROM components: PDA, Phone (modem), and CSC using browse button. Select repartition if this is full reflash.

6. When everything is selected and file tab are populated you are ready to connect the TAB:

- shut it down

- put it download mode by holding two keys: "Volume down" and "Power". Shortly after pushing them together you should see yellow triangular with a digger

- connect USB cable to you Tab and computer. ODIN should identify connected Tab making one window yellow and ready message in console window

- click start and wait until the Tab reboots.

Basically that is all. Then you might need to do some checking and adjustments depending on carrier you are going to use.

Please, REREAD prior postings before doing reflashing.
[Galaxy Tab General] kkawai:
Thanks guys. But, I'm retarded. Actually, I'm one of the few several hundred android developers who has apps on market with over a 200,000 downloads of a popular social networking app. That wasn't trivial.

When it comes to flashing this tab, I'm a newbie.

When I do Volume + Power, it comes up with small yellow text "Updating manual mode.. Please wait"

This "updating manual mode" text only shows for like 1 second, then goes away. The screen stays blank as if it goes to a dead power off state.

I can restart it into the regular mode. But, I never see that yellow guy.

I bought this pretty recently, so maybe now they make it impossible to flash.

I will pay somebody at this point.
[Galaxy Tab General] kkawai:
The android logo comes up and says "Power Reset or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE"

It just stays on that screen. :/
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Sorry to hear that. You should get into download mode: push simultaneously buttons "power" and "lower edge of volume".

I did it a moment ago and got into download mode with yellow digger in triangular. To get back I held power button for while.

Try to get pdt of flashing manual from www.firmware.com.

Good luck!

Hoping that Tmo does come out with an update for voice calling... I'm leaning toward AT&T, even tho I'd much rather go with Tmo...
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Aye, second TMo announces they've put it back, I'll go and get one again.

I'm missing it, it was a great device, I just can't justify to myself lugging 2 phones around. one working, one not so much.

Would prefer Tmo, but if any offer it, I'll go to them.

Hopefully, with the amount of people returning, they'll start to ask why and saner heads will prevail. I asked if I could let it be known why I'm returning it and they didn't seem interested.
