I got mine edited too, I also installed a media hub.apk that I found here on XDA. Unfortunately, the application doesn't find anything.
[Galaxy Tab General] STEEPSIDE:
Try settings/applications/select unknown sources
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
For the Media Hub, you have to edit the Build.prop file a bit further and replace anything in it that says GT-P1000 with SGH-T849. There was about 8 or so to do. Atleast that worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] dweidman:
On the PC - Odin is a PC program that you use.

HTH.

Oh - and use firefox and disable popups. Done.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
First off, you do indeed now have a bogus IMEI, and that's from "unlocking", not from flashing. Did you back up your /efs folder before trying to unlock it using the method that's been discredited? If not, well, your sort of hosed. If so, restore it, and then use the Rotohammer hex-editor method to unlock it.

Doesn't matter what modem you use for Rogers, may as well use the T-Mobile one since you'll never get 3G on Rogers with any modem, just EDGE data. Might be a good time to consider Mobilcity or Wind though, they are AWS just like T-Mobile.
[Galaxy Tab General] Greenarcher707:
Works great, i ditched my t-mo tab and got an att version just for this reason.
[Galaxy Tab General] ez4unm:
Thanks a lot Croak, for your answer.

1) I have used Roto's method for unlocking :

-I have used Zroot (when it still was in the Market);

-I have used the Root Explorer for exploring and copying files;

-I have used your HxD method for hex-editing, so this was not the cause of IMEI change. Of course I still have all the EFS folder, so no worries;

2) I don't have ANY data transfer from Rogers, but this is probably because the full JJ6 I got it seems to be from UK (including modem driver, from this forum though);

3) I don't plan to switch from my corporate SIM (it's paid by my company).

This gives me the ideea of re-flashing just the modem (with Roto's Bell modem driver, maybe) ??? Any other thoughts, guys ? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] galaxybubba:
Still OK to proceed with FLASHING even if SIM card not recognized in Galaxy Tab?

I bought a Rogers Galaxy Tab, and I inserted my existing Rogers SIM card (activated for both voice and data plan) which I had been using in Rogers Nokia E71 smartphone. Rogers Galaxy Tab reboots when I insert SIM card, but once rebooted, it doesn't recognize SIM card. This was a bit strange given that both Tab and SIM card come from Rogers.

MY QUESTION IS: Can I still proceed with Rotohammer Hexeditor Unlock + Clubtech Flash (including Bell Modem Flash) even though Tab is not presently recognizing SIM card? I am worried that Tab still may not recognize SIM even after Unlock + Flash, which would make my leap of faith an exercise in futility. Or better yet, will Unlock + Flash, completely resolve this non-recognition of SIM problem altogether?

FYI, I initially tried to resolve non-recognition of SIM by Rotohammer Hexeditior Unlock; didn't go as far as Clubtech Flash. Rotohammer Unlock, in and of itself, did NOT resolve the issue, SIM is still not recognized. Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
I have a AT&T data usage question.

I have a Captivate with full data. I have the Tab that 's been thru the flash process for phone and 3G. All work great.

Looking on AT&T's website, when viewing the Captivates data usage when using with the actual Captivate... it shows it as Internet/MEdia Net - Phone. Now putting that SIM into the Tab, it shows as Internet/MEdia Net - wap.cingular.

So is AT&T going to figure this all out? According to AT&T's website, the Tab does show up as a generic phone. Just want to make sure they aren't gonna nail me for this.

On a side question... when I re-flashed to get all this, I noticed that AT&T data usage Widget is gone. Is it something we might need in the future and does anyone have it?

I was able to get my media hub back using this method, but when I tried to use the $50 credit it tells me the voucher code is invalid. Has anyone had success redeeming the voucher? I even changed my origin code from GB to US but as suspected had no change.

If you have a Rodgers Tab, with 2 Rodgers SIMs, you can't test for a successful unlock. Your issue is unrelated to carrier locking.

[Galaxy Tab General] Cappella:
Will this work on an asian Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) to get 850Mhz WCDMA?

I live in Thailand, and one operator here uses 850Mhz for 3G. I can "activate" 850 WCDMA with *#2263# (by default 900/1900/2100 were selected + 1700/850 unselected), but it seems to have no effect, I still get only EDGE on the 1800Mhz band.

I tried flashing the modem.bin provided by the OP, it didn't change a thing, except that *#2263# don't show WCDMA 1700 anymore (default selected are 900/1900/2100 + 850 unselected), and if I try to select the 850 band I get an error message saying the menu doesn't exist. Maybe flashing the modem.bin alone wasn't enough?

Will the full procedure described in this post have a chance to help me?

Thanks in advance,

David.
[Galaxy Tab General] zimmy6996:
FLASHVR6 -

Yes, I have noticed the exact same problem. I have taken my original AT&T build.prop and have going line by line with the changes. You can change the fingerprint lines, and add the missing lines towards the end of the build.prop file. (There are like 6 or 7 that the AT&T file has that the P-1000 didn't have). But the 4 lines at the very top of the file that all say P-1000, no, once you modify ANY of those 4 (i have tried each, one at a time), it breaks Swype. (Sure you can still touch type on swype).

The ONLY way I can get Swype to work once you change those final build.prop settings, is to them copy in the .apk and lib file from the OEM AT&T build. That works, however, I HATE the swype from the OEM AT&T build. It has the narrow keypad on portrait mode, which is bad enough, but then in landscape, it doesn't expand, so it TOTALLY SUCKS!

Hopefully there will be an updated AT&T build here in the near future that will address this, and we can have the best of both worlds. Until then, Media Hub doesn't work for me. And really, I don't care. That's what Netflix is for!
[Galaxy Tab General] zimmy6996:
You have to modify your build.prop file and change the device type from the P1000 to the AT&T model. The only thing is, once you do, Swype will fail.

So you have to device which is more important to you. Swype or Media Hub.
[Galaxy Tab General] hburn:
Just to be sure i must make it think its a at&t tab even if its a bell tab and this will make work the bell app?
[Galaxy Tab General] flashvr6:
Thanks guys. I love my swype over the media hub. Haven't tried out the Media Hub as I can't even register my Tab on the samsung website for the free $50 credit, but oh well.

[Galaxy Tab General] Zero 360:
Hey, I still havent got a reply to this, sorry to bug but I am stumped. I have had great success with my voice enabled Samsung GT, but I need to exchange it, is there a generic North American or specifically Bell firmware I could flash it with? havent been able to find one that will at least get rid of the phone...
[Galaxy Tab General] morrichad:
U would reverse the process in the mobile network settings you used to change to wap.cingular, should go like this homescreen- menu-settings-wireless and network-mobile network-access point name-change apn to Broadband. Then make sure everything is blank or to not set, and.in MCC-310 and MNC-410 stay there. Hope this helps? Now if I could get a enough assurance I can do this myself!!!;)
[Galaxy Tab General] Cappella:
UPDATE: IT WORKS!!!

After searching online, I found some infos that the "menu doesn't exist" message was not a big deal (in *#2263# service mode) and that the 850 WCDMA could be selected in "Combi Bands" Menu... and it worked, after that going back to Automatic. Then again to WCDMA BAND selection, 2100/1900/850 are selected by default (used to be 2100/1900/900 before), and I can select 850 only.

I do get signal on WCDMA 850 Band 5 (I checked with *#0011# to make sure), I get HSDPA data connection (H sign)

So what I did:

1a) I got an Asian Galaxy Tab bought in Thailand

1b) I updated to latest firmware using Kies (well I guess this step isn't important)

1c) I rooted my tab (not important I think)

2) Flash the modem.bin provided in OP using Odin

3) *#2263#, select multi bands, select WCDMA850 only, back, select Automatic, back, Select WDCMA Band, then select WCDMA 850.

Since the 3G signal isn't so good here (pretty poor coverage), I'm going to make more tests and see if it switches between Edge (on GSM 1800) and 3G when the signal is available.

So I guess it means the Galaxy Tab hardware (at least in asian version) supports at least 4 WCDMA bands (I suspect it supports the 1700 band too, maybe with another modem firmware?)
[Galaxy Tab General] flo7002:
Thanks so much, got it working.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
If someone with a stock Bell Tab can do a Roto Backup and upload the files somewhere, you can flash back to stock.

[Galaxy Tab General] galaxybubba:
Thank you Rotohammer. You're correct, the issue was unrelated to carrier locking. Rogers simply replaced my existing SIM card with their "new" SIM card. Now all flashed and working fine and dandy.
[Galaxy Tab General] Zero 360:
Thanks! I have access to a factory fresh Tab so I can use your method in your sig? Would I better off using Odin or Command Line? Not great with Linux but can follow instructions.

[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Correct, those files contain personally installed apps and data files, not something you want to distribute. Its ok to flash back to your own device though.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Flash this using Odin, use the PDA button, no partioning or .pit file.

Thanks for the link to stock AT&T firmware

Just a quick noob question on unlocking.

Any reason not to use a Cell Unlocker internet service to get an unlock code? Seems pretty simple for 4.99 . I've used the codes in the past and they've worked OK.

thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
It's your $5.00, but you can do it for free, for about the same amount of time it would take to enter your IMEI and payment information to an unlock service.

I want to buy a Galaxy Tab, but here in Mexico the price is too high (900-1000 USD).

If I buy one from ATT, Is there any chance using this method to get the 850 band for 3G?

Or the radio frecuency is hardware based?

BTW, the modem from the leaked 2.2 ROM for the Telus T959D Fascinate (not to be confused with the Verizon Fascinate) works fine on my Tab, HSUPA enabled.

And, for what its worth, it's a "JL" ROM (December) rather than a JK (November).

For that matter, there's a newer Bell modem, since they actually released an official 2.2 upgrade, JK4.

Telus modem attached.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Excellent question! The only benifit to using that .pit file is to reserve a partition for the hidden filesystem that just contains carrier junk apps. I hate the idea of hidden partitions.

I haven't had time to compare stock partition sizes to each firmware to check for size fit. I think the best long term solution is for me to creste a custom oversized pit file so that any firmware will flash fine. I need some spare time to try this.
[Galaxy Tab General] maniac3389:
I'm thinking the next logical step is for me to backup and attempt to flash in the manner I suggested. Well, I wonder why you would need to flash twice... I need to do some experimenting as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] STEEPSIDE:
Hey Croak,

I have done the same as you and am running Telus on my tab, any improvements with speed, or signal strength? I assume still the same procedure no pit and no repartition to flash?

Thanks Clubtech for this awesome how-to.

Couple things (a negative and a positive);

(-)Am I missing something or is 720P recording no longer possible with JK5? I can only get 720x480...

(+)Has anyone (at least using a Bell Tab) noticed that more video formats seem to work with JK5? I had a couple videos on my SD card that I needed RockPlayer to watch before but now they play with the built-in media player... Unexpected & awesome! (This a difference between NA/EU versions or did Bell cripple the Tab more than I thought?)

Bell Galaxy Tab as a phone - it's working!

Thanks to all (Clubtechy, Roto et als..) my original dumb Bell Galaxy Tab is now rooted, unlocked and working as a phone on Telus 3G/H network with full data availability.

I just read and re-read the posts in the 4 first pages of this thread until I was comfortable with all the instructions.

By the way, KIES now is working with my TAB ---

Q: How will we get the udpates - upgrades now that we are not on a standard Bell version?

Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
You get your updates from here. :)

Seriously, you'll hear about and have access to updates via XDA links faster than you'll know about it from Bell

Besides, if you're running JK5, use Kies and update JK5 that way (when/if there is one), because as far as Kies goes, you have a European Tab. Just don't forget to flash your modem of choice after the update is done.
[Galaxy Tab General] tekomni:
You probably should not attempt to flash your galaxy tab until you read quite a bit on these forums and other articles available online. You might even pickup an older phone on ebay or something and experiment on that device first. Flashing the galaxy tab for phone calls is a little advanced and you could make your tab unusable if you dont know what youre doing.

AT&T Galaxy Tab have 850mhz for 3G (UMTS/HSDPA)?

Hi,

I searched though many posts, but didn't see a definitive answer to the question above. Does the AT&T Galaxy Tab support 3G on the 850mhz band?

I'm considering purchasing either the Tab or Dell's Streak. The Streak does support all the AT&T 3G frequencies, but it's smaller and lacks wireless-N (home and work routers are N-capable).

The Dell comes with 2.2 and is already phone-ready, but I imagine I'll be rooting it and eventually flashing ROMs regularly. What, if any deficiencies, does the AT&T Tab have when it flashed to allow its use as a phone?

My G1's running 2.2, but showing its age.

Thanks!
