I try not to compare samsung to apple, it's depressing.

Unless your a exec at AT&T, neither one of us really know what kind of deal samsung made.

Anyone know if they are still releasing galaxy phones in any country? I swear, if the Dell streak gets 2.2 first, I'm gonna faint.
[Captivate General] msinkovich:
hopefully you pick a soft spot

:D

I passed on the streak thinking that dells blunders during the launch would surely define their ability to keep it updated as promised. Heck, I bet they get gingerbread too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlayaa:
Hello, I'm running miui, and ever since I flashed it both my WiFi and mobile network speeds are horrible. It only loads a few few kb/s, while stock ROM and my computer have excellent speeds, same result when I was at a friends house.

However network speeds are great at my schools public network; they've blocked loads of ports and protocols which means stuff like the Android Market won't work. This gives me the feeling that my traffic is being tunneled, but that the port is blocked at school so it reverts to non-tunneled traffic.

However I'm not sure of this because for example my external ip is the same as my computers, and sites like what's my ip doesn't detect any proxy.

Both VPN and proxy aredisabled in the menus.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: I've now noticed that the same problem occurs when running OpenDesire.. Maybe it's related to AOSP ROMs?

EDIT2: Just remembered, CyanogenMod used to work fine.. I'll try flashing it once again.

Problem solved! I solved it by updating my routers firmware(Apple airport extreme)
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Please note that i am not responsible if you brick your Galaxy Tab.

This worked for me and i now have a Galaxy Tab, on At&t making calls + 3G data + 850/1900Mhz WCDMA enabled.

**please note you need to have a SIM card with a proper voice plan and DATA plan for this to work. do not try this with the prepaid card that came with the Tab.

1) Download the firmware P1000XWJJ4 from HERE (pass: samfirmware.com)

2) download the firmware P1000XXJK5 from HERE (pass: samfirmware.com)

3) download Odin 1.3 from HERE

4) download the modem_bell_i9000.zip file attached to his post and extract it.

A) put you tab into download mode and flash P1000XWJJ4 with P1_add_hidden.pit and repartition selected. The phone will reboot and will be in Russian.

B) Put the phone into download mode again. flash P1000XXJK5 with NO repartition and NO PIT file. the phone will reboot with the latest euro firmware in english.

C) finish the setup wizard, if you do not get DATA at this point (3G or EDGE) at this point go into APN settings and change the APN from "Broadband" to "wap.cingular"

D) Put the Tab into download mode and flash the attached modem.bin file (the one you extracted) by selecting the bin file under "phone" in Odin. NO repartition and NO PIT file.

E) At this point your phone will reboot and you should have 850/1900Mhz enabled and everything you should work just like the euro version of the Tab.

Done and done.

UPDATE: I found that at&t are disabling HSUPA on the Tab, thus using the at&t original modem will not be ideal. I found that the Bell Galaxy S 2.2 modem is the only modem i found so far that will give us 850/1900Mhz + HSUPA + voice calls.

Please flash this modem instead. it is attached.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
Nice... How come we need to go to the Russian ROM first? Thanks again Clubtech.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Because it is the only real full flash firmware we currently have and that fixes the boot logo problem i had when i didn't do a full flash before.

XXJK5 is not a full flash, but incremental one so we have to flash twice.
[Galaxy Tab General] mywingtophone:
Will this work with tmobile tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
No.

[Galaxy Tab General] mywingtophone:
Wow you are a real genius , this tab just cameout today and u already found a way to make the voice work compared to the other post here about flashing their tmobile tab still scratching their butt trying to figure out how to make it work. Can you help us tmobile user to make our device working with voice and 3g? I got 3 more days to return it and get at&t.

Great instruction too! Your the man!
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
T-mobile are blocking the data plans by IMEI, so there is nothing we can do unless you want to fake your IMEI.

As long as the IMEI stays the same, even if you got 3G and voice to work, data will still be blocked on regular phone plan sim cards so there is no point really.

For blocking by IMEI T-mobile should see all their tabs returned as far as i care.
[Galaxy Tab General] shoman24v:
Could this work for Sprint?
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
No. These firmwares are only for GSM models.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
so if i get a att tab do what you posted and unlock it then add my unlimited t mobile sim will i still be blocked?
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
It shouldn't be blocked (unless T-MO is blocking ALL Tab IMEI's, not just their own), but even so you'll be unable to use 3G, it'll be EDGE only, since the AT&T device won't support T-Mo's AWS frequencies.
[Galaxy Tab General] mywingtophone:
What if i flash it using your instruction and insert my att sim card will it work?Thanks a million!
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
A small update.

So it appears that at&t have disabled HSUPA so the upload speeds are slow (it is capped around 386Kbps).

I tried flashing the Bell modem.bin. it kept the 850Mhz and disabled the upload cap but i could not longer make or receive calls.

Flashing back to the at&t modem back and i was able to make calls but the upload speed is again capped.

Thank-you at&t!!! for crippling my hardware!!

Anyone can post the modem from Rogers? that would be helpful to try.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
It will work on EDGE only. no point.

[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
On step a), it's really a 2 steps process right? Meaning

1. Download the pit file

2. Flash the PDA, Phone and CSC

according to general flashing instruction here http://www.samfirmware.com/P1000 how to flash.pdf ?

And when come the 2nd flash, skip the pit file and flash the other 3: PDA, Phone and CSC?

Thanks again.

Ok, Bell GT-P1000M is now flashed with JK5 and the AT&T Modem, and is fully voice and data functional on Telus (I manually unlocked it) in both 850 and 1900 bands.

Rock on.

[Galaxy Tab General] lasterato:
Anyone know if this would work? - i want to enable 850MHz on my GT as Telstra over here uses it on their nextG network :)

Also - would i need to Root and Unlock my GT? - annndd - FYI - it's a baseband P100JID, build FROYO.XWJJ4.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
You need a GT model that support 850Mhz for it to work.

If you have the European version of the Tab, it wont enable 850Mhz of you follow this guide.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
If you are only trying to enable Voice on your Australian Vodafone Tab, it should work but you do not need to flash the Bell modem, as it is only being used to enable 850Mhz on US and North American models.
[Galaxy Tab General] lasterato:
How do i/where do i find the respective model numbers to find out if mine is an 850MHz model?

The one i have already has voice enabled. But it doesn't have 850MHz enabled - i tried my 850MHz Telstra SIM in it and it comes up as 3TELSTRA which is their 2100MHz network and not the 850MHz one. Hmmm...would be cool if i could enable 850 ;)

Stuck on Galaxy Tab Logo

Hey guys,

I just got the AT&T version of the tab this evening, and after having flashed one unit previously from t-mobile, I followed the instructions in this thread and now the device is stuck on Samsung Logo ... I left it on the screen for a while with no result ... any advice on this?

Edit: Seems like I had selected the wrong .pit file .... once I flashed the correct one, it worked fine!
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
So I take it this doesent work... Hope we can get this working soon...

[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
When on this stage of the flashing...

B) Put the phone into download mode again. flash P1000XXJK5 with NO repartition and NO PIT file. the phone will reboot with the latest euro firmware in english.

In ODIN, how do I select P1000XXJK5? Does it go under Files [Download] Phone or PDA?

Also... does Auto Reboot and Reset Time always stay checked?
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
When you're flashing an all-in-one package, it goes in PDA.

Doesn't really matter about auto reboot and reset time, but I always leave both checked.
[Galaxy Tab General] jtorral:
With all this flashing does that mean we don't get anOS update when it's pushed by the carrier?
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Correct. But that's just dandy with me, as it means that you'll have access to the non-branded firmware updates weeks or even months sooner than AT&T will release it. Seriously.

It's all made of win.

p.s. I am in HK and she's in Canada right now, need about 2 weeks before I can even touch it.
[Galaxy Tab General] PRTEQ:
slow

It is just me or the tab turns to be considerably slower after flash this?

Dont getvme wrong I love the qbility of use it with my sim, but a friend thas has the ****i iPad show me that it run slower and it wasnt be the wqy before.

Any advice?
[Galaxy Tab General] flashvr6:
So has anyone checked their ATT account online to see what phone is detected and listed down? Or does it no longer recognize what phone it is after the flash?

let me know...I've been keeping my eye on the Tab for quite awhile and am looking to make it my primary phone/tablet. Hopefully my early christmas gift to myself

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] willie168:
Hey, u know what, I'm using the Rogers Tab now, and it's working with both phone function and 3G HSPA modem. here are my steps:

1. unlock by modifying nv_data.bin

2. flashed to P1000XWJJ4 russian Rom (repartition)

3. flashed to HongKong Rom (no repartition)

4. type *2767*3855# in the phone dailer to fully reset your tab. (or else it will give you errors on phone dailer program and some other stuff.)

I did not change any modem files, I guess it used the original Rogers modem? Anyhow, it's working perfectly with the China Unicom carrier's 3G, which is the same type with HongKong carriers. So, yah.. screw u Rogers Canada!!!

:D

Rogers TAB on Fido

I bought a Rogers TAB. I flashed it as indicated in OP. I used the Bell modem as well. Everything works fine.

I'm on Fido btw, using my grandfathered data plan :D

The only thing I have noticed is the media hub won't work, says it's not avail. in my location. I'm assuming that's from the EU firmware flash. No big deal really.

I'm getting awesome speeds too on the mobile data. Connects @ H speeds pretty much all the time.

Very happy. Thanks for the hard work guys!

[Galaxy Tab General] osetivo:
No, but since I have flashed my AT&T Tab for voice, I wonder it AT&T will notice.

Because .... back in Sept 09, my wife received an AT&T SMS identifying her 1st gen iPhone as using a non-iphone data plan/SIM, so I wonder if AT&T will ever run through "its" IMEI database for Tabs and verify the SIM card being used. /shrug/
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
As clubtech posted b4. We bought the tab without contract. Our SIM card is billed for data and voice so why would it matter? We need to end this question.
[Galaxy Tab General] cuem:
Hey could you explain more in details?

1. How do we modify nv_data.bin

I didn't see this step in the op's guide.

2. P1000xWJJ4 has 4 files in it ( GT, Modem, P1_add, P1000)

Which one to put where? Or do I keep them all in the .rar and put it in the PDA?

3. HK is the p1000xxjk5 version?

4. I'll try once I get there =)!

I see you're trying it out in China? So that means you'll have to change the modem file back to bell once you get here, because I think the bell modem files works with rogers.
[Galaxy Tab General] zimmy6996:
Clubtech - Let me start off by saying, WOW! YOU ARE THE GOD OF THE AT&T TAB! I have played with both the Sprint and AT&T tabs, and was a little annoyed by some of the "restrictions" on the AT&T tab. That is, until I followed your steps here. Now it rocks! Works like the Sprint tab, and has UNREAL SPEED! I am using an iPad Unlimited 3G $29.99 chip in mine, and it works like a champ. Averaging 4.1MB down, and 1.8MB up!

The only thing that I haven't figured out is how to tweak a couple things in touchwiz.

1) The sprint defaulted the "home" panel to the middle panel. Now it's panel 1. I can't seem to find the setting to change this.

2) On the AT&T factory firmware, the "email" button at the bottom of the screen on the launcher used to have a bubble on it for new e-mail, telling you the number waiting. Now it's gone.

Sorry if these are really noob questions ...

Outside of that man, YOU ARE A GOD! Thanks for making my AT&T Tab 100x better than the Sprint version!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] gordata:
I can help you out with this, Its the way touch wiz works, it defaults to the first screen, try ADW Launcher or my personal favorite :D LauncherPro and you can default it to whatever screen you want.
[Galaxy Tab General] Zero 360:

[Galaxy Tab General] jtorral:
Clubtech,

Can you start a new thread for instruction on the AT&T tab. This way it does not get lost with so many variations throughout this thread. It would be nice to just have the one thread going for the how to including the latest images to flash with. Make it a source code control thread of instructions and versions. :)

What is this "Unlimited 3G $29.99" plan? I take it that this plan is no longer available and has been grandfathered-in?

If so... wanna sell yours? ;)

[Galaxy Tab General] SonicTab:
3dadd - Thanks for the images, very very helpful.

A couple questions come to mind to complete the process,

maybe you or other knowledgeable members could discuss...

1) Does odin require any drivers on the PC to be installed to run?

2) How do you enter download mode on the tab?

3) Do you need to do anything after flashing bell modem to gain both 850/1900 3G, recall reading the euro rom may remove one, and a dialstring is needed to select both?

4) Also seen reports of the need to modify a file to get full market access after flash?

5) Anyway to back up our existing roms before flashing, to allow restore to stock?

6) Does the tab need to rooted again after any of the flashes or does any root hold?

I think answers to those questions may help to have in this thread near your screenshots.

if i slap a tmobile radio on my att tab using tmobile sim will i get 3g
[Galaxy Tab General] danieljoy:
what would happen if someone did all this flashing but used the stock att sim card? i saw this warning on the OP:

**please note you need to have a SIM card with a proper voice plan and DATA plan for this to work. do not try this with the prepaid card that came with the Tab.

I personally just want to get rid of the stock rom limitations and use 3g, wifi and SIP droid/ GV or skype to make calls. the stock rom is too limiting. i got it working but its a very round about process that lacks fluidity. I do not need or want EDGE.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
No. .
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Then flash it and don't worry about voice, but if you TRY to use voice on that prepaid data-only SIM, you may raise a flag with AT&T.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
All your answers are in this thread. This is a complicated, risky process, and if you can't take time to read and comprehend, well, you'll get bitten in the ass.

Stupid question here. But, on the first post it says to download files for flashing. Where do these file get placed? on SD card on PC and flashing is done from PC?

I own a T-Mobile Tab that I was able to unlock, flash JJ4, then JJ5 and finally JJ6. I was not able to get the phone or 3G to work after the JJ5 incremental flash - probably because T-Mobile is blocking their own devices IMEI's - but now, after the JJ6 (firmware that I got on this forum), my phone is working, though, my internet is not. I have tried only a Rogers voice + data SIM that I have. I saw that the IMEI that my Tab has now starts with 0049, while (I think but I'm not 100% sure) my initial one was starting with 0012. Please guys, enlighten me with two answers :

1) do you think that the third flash - the one for JJ6 - changed the IMEI (because I think, again I'm not sure), after the JJ5 flash it was still having the NAM IMEI, the one starting with 0012 ?

2) what modem should I use for Rogers ?

I am really sorry if the questions are kind of stupid and I really hope you can answer me.

Thank you all and have a nice week end, you guys :cool:
