Camera: Appears to - yeah.

AT&T 3G: I haven't familiarized myself with anything to do with AT&T. I believe so (if it doesn't, just flash a different modem) but maybe inquire with someone else first (I think RotoHammer has a Tab on AT&T).

Media Hub: I have 'Music Hub' on mine. Think it's the same thing...

Generally, the Tab just feels a little snappier. Scrolling in apps is smoother.
[Galaxy Tab General] RNGuy:
Just using the built-in browser but I have heard others say Dolphin 4.1+ doesn't have pinch to zoom.

I did a full flash to JM6. Then PDA flash to JMA. Doing it this will way make sure your PDA, Phone and CSC show up as JMA.
[Galaxy Tab General] tekomni:
Thank you for this post. I am now making calls on my AT&T Tab. Bandwidth testing at 3.79 down and .9 up. Not too shabby.
[Galaxy Tab General] Cliffro:
Hi,

On my macbook I can do a rotobackup. I have tried odin instructions using a virtual windows xp machine on the mac but it never sees the galaxy tab when its in download mode. It sees it fine when running normally. Here is the big question:

Can I do the same things as odin does using adb instead? Or is odin doing things not available to adb?

Thank you all for such awesome work!
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
If Odin doesn't recognize the tab, try to unplug & plug it back. It shoudl recognize.
[Galaxy Tab General] tekomni:
I haven't had any good experiences trying to use vmware to flash root etc
[Galaxy Tab General] Cliffro:
Are there adb commands the provide the same functions as odin?

I guess I can simply read the manual and report back to you.
[Galaxy Tab General] maniac3389:
Simple answer: No.

ADB is for interfacing with the device, not reloading firmware. (Allows you to reboot the device, gain shell access from a desktop, push/pull files to/from the device. Etc.)

ODIN is the tool that Samsung uses to flash firmware onto the device. (While ODIN is available, another tool available is Heimdall, which was created by another developer.)
[Galaxy Tab General] Cliffro:
Only boots in Russian so far using Heimdall Flasher

[Update, again 2010-Dec-21]

Heimdall actually can not work for this method and can not replace Odin... The problem is that there are files needed to install that don't have a parameter in Heimdall, such as the .mst file included in the first flash batch. I never got things to fully work, like calling until I found a windows pc to borrow and install like the instructions say at the beginning of this Topic. But I learned a lot and am happily able to mess around with my Galaxy Tab using my Galaxy S sim-card.

Ok, I have flashed using Heimdall using the files listed at the beginning of this post.

Here is command line used after extracting / untarring all files from P1000XWJJ4.rar into a single folder: [note: extracted the CSC last as instructed in the heimdall READM.TXT]

heimdall flash --repartition --pit P1_add_hidden.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin

No errors showed on screen and it rebooted into Russian as expected.

I then extracted all files from P1000XXJK5.rar into a new folder and used this command:

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin

No errors showed on screen and it rebooted into Russian, instead of english.

I have rebooted several times, still comes up to the nice desert scene with blue skies and with the correct time, but all prompts are in russian. I'm afraid to put the sim card in it, even though it kept prompting for me to slip in it.

Anyone have experience with Heimdall flasher or notice a mistake.

Thanks for all the great information.
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
I'm still using JK5. I am so afraid to upgrade to JM6 or JMA. My phone so far works without a glitch, so is it worth it to upgrade and take a chance? Can it be rooted easily with 4zroot? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] flo7002:
JM6 seems to be running quite a bit smoother. z4root didn't work for me for some reason, but superoneclick worked no problems.

Any problems with Rogers tabs?

Hi, I live in Canada and just got a Rogers Galaxy Tab.

Has any Rogers GT owners had any problems with enabling voice ? I haven't flashed yet but will after I've read enough posts.
[Galaxy Tab General] da_enlightener:
THANK YOU!

Dear Clubtech, Croak, Rotohammer, and everyone else who contributed to this thread....THANK YOU !!!

I have been browsing xda forums for the past few days, and i took a few hours to read this whole thread till page 32 to understand how to flash my galaxy tab.

I bought a Rogers Galaxy tab a few days ago and followed the steps in this thread only after reading the entire thread. That gave me confidence to go ahead and flash my tab.

I wanted to share my experience, i tried to flash to JK4 and at the end of odin, it went Red and said fail. I was a bit worried but the Tab did boot up and i thought everything was fine. so i went ahead and upgraded to JJ5 and the tab was back in English. I used it for a day, only to realize that even though i had the Phone screen, i could not complete calls. I would dial out, and call would say connecting, and suddenly go to call ended.

So i decided to follow clubtech's flashing process again, this time at the end of the first flash to JK4 i did see a green light on odin, and then i proceeded to flash to JJ5. Another Green light, and i have a phone that can make calls on my samsung galaxy tab. I absolutely love this device. I can make calls without any problems on the Fido, Telus and Rogers networks.

I did try Rotohammer's amazing idea to unlock the phone from another thread he has posted on XDA, but i was unsuccessful at my attempt to adb. I only tried the Copy/Paste script, and i didn't work for me....i know if i gave it maybe another hour or so of trying to figure it out...i would have. But i was impatient and i just paid $4 to a friend who sells unlocks. So i carrier unlocked it and use it primarily on Fido. I also did not give hex editing a try, because i felt it might be too advanced for me....and once again...i was impatient because a cheap alternative was available. I will be trying out Rotobackup sometime soon though. I do have to thank you for making me understand what adb is, because your thread contained so much knowledge.

This makes me realize how awesome Xda is, and i wish it truly does keep on sharing knowledge.
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
Please excuse my question if it's redundant : is the Bell modem firmware unlocked, or should I then unlock it ?

I am planning to use my soon to arrive AT&T SGT with an Honduran Sim Card :D, and yes I do have voice and data activated on this sim.

P_
[Galaxy Tab General] da_enlightener:
AFAIK you will still need to unlock the phone...to use it on a carrier of ur choice. Do a search, you should find a thready by rotohammer to unlock the tab for free...try thay before u pay for an unlock.
[Galaxy Tab General] sprecker:
Worked on Rogers. Thanks x 100000!

I have been following this thread ever since it was started. I finally got my Tab yesturday and followed all the instructions here and it worked without a hitch. It only took about 10min from start to finish.

Awesome work and thanks x 10000000!

Now for a stupid user question ( you know there had to be one after all that praise ;) ):

If I want to flash to a newer firmware do I use the same method of Odin with the russian firm first and then the new firm and then the bell modem? Or...?

Thanks again and I remember seeing it in here but after reading 20 or so pages and not finding it I though I should just ask. Don't hate if you can help it. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] tekomni:
Is anyone else on AT&T having trouble receiving or sending texts? I flashed JJ4 and JK5 files. I send a text message, it looks successful, but the other phone never receives it. I also can't receive any at all.
[Galaxy Tab General] Beg2Live4Life:
Small Questions

Hey there, I have a questions, you said;

"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."

Why can't I do that with the sim card that comes with the tab? Am I suppose to buy a new sim card and throw away the one that came with the tab? Why? Can you explain why you said that?

Thank You in advance
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
The sim card that come with the tab is NOT enabled to do voice.It will only be good for data.

P_
[Galaxy Tab General] da_enlightener:
Try flashing from step one again. Something similar happened to me, I could not make phone calls. Just start again from the beginning and give that a try.
[Galaxy Tab General] jagrskmu:
Am I an idiot?

Page 1 item 1. Download 3 files.

I clicked on all of them and get sent to a page with a half dozen free download companies, wtf?

Really confused about what I am supposed to do.

I have a SGT from Amazon for ATT. Want to give to daughter for Christmas with voice enabled. How do I download the files to accomplish this?
[Galaxy Tab General] sprecker:
Select "download" beside Mega-upload. There maybe a pop-uo blocked so select it twice. Close the pop up. When at their site wait the alotted 45seconds and select free download or whatever it is, under premium download. save to HDD. Rinse and repeat. You do have to wait for one DL to finish before you can DL another.

****Edit*****

Another stupid question. If I want to flash the new JMC firmware can I just do step 2 with that firmware and then flash the bell modem after? (FYI. I already have my Tab flashed so I can use the Phone and 3G/H with JK5 and understand the process just not the little details is all.) Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] jagrskmu:
Got the downloads

So now I can do the follow on steps. I hope :)

Will be back tomorrow to let you know.

And, I appreciate your help above. Thanks

I also would like to know whether the downloads need updating? Or just use the ones I have for now.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] lr3:
got my rogers tab flashed as the instruction told me to do.

i have no internet connection. no 3g and edge.

and under mobile internet there is no way i can change apns.

pls help.
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
@lr3 . Did you try a factory reset after the flashing procedure ?

P_
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
Since the Original post was written a while ago, would you think it's safe to use JM6 instead of JJ4 as the Full Flash starting point, then upgrade (optionally ) to JMA and (again optionally ) upgrade to JMC, eventually replacing the Modem with the Bell one ?

It looks like this is the actual configuration of @Rotohammer (from his signature) , but I am wondering if it's still advisable to start from JJ4 or not anymore.

P_
[Galaxy Tab General] lr3:
yes i did.
[Galaxy Tab General] da_enlightener:
Try replacing the modem with the telus modem posted in this thread. Maybe that will help.
[Galaxy Tab General] da_enlightener:
Just want to confim these steps also work on the Bell Tab, I flashed another one to get phone on it. I've had better call performance with the telus modem...i'm on rogers and fido.
[Galaxy Tab General] asiapac.oscar:
Sorry for asking, but would it be possible to have more detailed step by step instructions on how to replace the firmware with the European functionalities. I am fully computer articulated but new to Android; i.e what is "t flash." Thanks in advance for your help.
[Galaxy Tab General] BlueBagodah:
Are you using the 3 files from the 1st Post? I'm going to try this tonight, for a xmas present for myself, I just want to confirm that those original files will work before I begin.

Do I have to unlock first, or is the flashable image already unlocked?
[Galaxy Tab General] da_enlightener:
Yea...i'm using the files from the first post...the only file that I dont use is the modem file, I found a yelus modem file elsewhere in the thread, and used that one, it seems to be more stable than bell modem for me, I am on rogers and fido.

Unlock is completely different from flashing. You can umlock it anytime u want, before or after flashing...doesnt matter when.
[Galaxy Tab General] BlueBagodah:
Thanks,

I've looked at this other thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884343

It this essentially the same process with newer firmware?

Thanks again. I'm new to hacking Android, and I'm very nervous about bricking my Tab. :o
[Galaxy Tab General] sprecker:
Yes. It is the same. You can even skip step two from that thread if you want as it's completely uneccessary. I have a Rogers Tab and it worked for me. If you have any doubts follow the guid here and then just do the "new" one after. *I can't guarantee anything though*
[Galaxy Tab General] BlueBagodah:
I'm having a crazy amount of problems...

I'm the instructions aren't really that clear for a flashing noob. I'm stuck right now on a screen with a picture of a phone an ! inside a yellow triangle and a Computer.

I've tried the instructions in this thread for getting it back into Download mode aren't working at all.

In the first step on page 1, what, if anything do we put in the PDA, Modem and CSC fields in Odin?

What do we put in those fields in the second step?

Since I'm stuck at the "Phone-!-Computer" screen, can I just try to flash again from there, or does the tab have to be in Download mode?

:confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] sprecker:
Ok. First off it is a good thing (you didn't break it you just messed up somewhere.)that is just another form of download mode. plug in you usb and start odin. It should still recognise your Tab. Start the flash prcess again using the pics in this post HERE. If you pay attention the the names of the files it really is fool proof.
[Galaxy Tab General] BlueBagodah:
Thanks,

I've got it working now. I followed the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884343

I couldn't get it to work properly with the instructions from this thread, but it seems that they're pretty much the same thing.

The pics in the post you linked to were fantastically helpful. You got a Thanks from me! :)
[Galaxy Tab General] wuntun:
Do you have to put the tab in usb debugging before flashing ? Just want to confirm before flashing for the first time. I've never flashed anything before (absolute noob).

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
[Galaxy Tab General] da_enlightener:
Nope...no usb debugging mode for flash

...just download mode. Turn it off ...then press power button + volume down key.
[Galaxy Tab General] wuntun:
Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] sprecker:
You're welcome but the thanks should go to "clubtech" for the instructions, "3dadd" for making it noob friendly and "Monrad" for showing us how to get JM6 - JMC. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
So Confused.

Thanks for this thread. I read the whole thing and what feels like half the internet.

From my understanding an International GT won't work well because its missing the 850 3g?

I was going to buy this.

But I read somewhere, buying Tri band phones is not good in the US.

OK I cant post links so if you go to amazon and look for this:

Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tablet Unlocked Android Powered with 3 MP Camera, 7-Inch Touchscreen, 16GB Memory--International Version with No Warranty (White)

Product Features

* EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, HSDPA 7.2Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps Tri-Band 900/1900/2100 MHz

* 7 inch WSVGA (1024 x 600) 16M TFT

* Ebook, GPS/Geo-tagging, DLNA, Bluetooth, Android

* 3MP AF Camera + 1.3MP VT Front Camera. Full HD (1080p) Playing

* 4000 mAh battery

But then I went to the ATT site and looked at the spec for their GT

Please go to ATT site and look at the spec sheet for their tab.

Specifications

* Network: HSDPA 900/1900/2100 MHz, HSDPA 7.2–capable; EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

* Dimensions: 7.48" x 4.74" x 0.47"

* Applications: YouTube, Google Maps, Nook™ eReader, Gallery, Quickoffice, other apps available from Android Market

* Email: Gmail, Microsoft Exchange via ActiveSync®

They both reference the frequencies exactly the same. So would the unlocked version from amazon work on ATT?

Thanks. This stuff is all starting to get cloudy.
[Galaxy Tab General] entzekl@hotmail.com:
thank you

thank you for all your hard work
[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
Interesting.

The Samsung website says the ATT GT is quad band but the ATT website does not. Looks like I answered my own question.
[Galaxy Tab General] pengli_2002:
Bootloader warning?

Sorry if it's total noob question, i saw from this thread that some new leaked ROMs have "bootloader" and may cause the tab unbleto perform further updates:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071

are any of the firmwares posted in this thread has this problem?
[Galaxy Tab General] xshocksin:
Great read. Followed the instructions with some minor things missing in between and got my AT&T USA tab flashed with the 2 FW from the first post working with voice. I didn't flash the modem yet because I wanted to see if I'm okay with the current speeds with the stock modem. So far so good. I don't do much uploading of stuff so I figured having an uncapped HSUPA from the other modem wouldn't phase me much. I could be wrong. The minor things I was talking about is for noobs like me. I recommend turning your new tab on first and connect it to your comp to get it to load the drivers for it. Once the drivers are loaded, then shut it off and put it in download mode to do the first flash. After the first step and it reboots to Russian, let it load up the drivers again before you attempt to flash the second step. After it loads up drivers again, then proceed with second step. That's just from my experience. Thanks for all the hard work on this guys. My only question now is should I flash the latest FW from another post I saw in these forums or should I wait because I've notice people saying the new FW will stop me from future updates? I could be wrong. Can someone clarify?
[Galaxy Tab General] xshocksin:
I use to work for AT&T and I can tell you they don't always get specs posted right on their site. I would go with what you saw on Samsungs site. The specs on AT&T tab is quad band. The specs they show on their site (AT&T) is Tmo version.
[Galaxy Tab General] pengli_2002:
Just followed the instructions and everything worked! Thanks guys, the post with step by step screen shot is extremely helpful.

After flashing the model, im getting great upload speed (1700 or so) but ot seems my download speed is not as good, only 800 to 900, half of what an iphone gets. Any one has the same experience?
[Galaxy Tab General] xshocksin:
Is anybody else having issues with the browser being really slow or lagging after doing this?
[Galaxy Tab General] DenimJeans:
I just wanted to say thanks to clubtech & rotohammer for their helpful generosity.

I am techsavvy but I am a complete newb when it comes to Android and flashing devices.

Thanks to the clear instructions I now have a Rogers Galaxy Tab that can make phone calls and access the internet using my voice and data plan :) sweet!

Happy New Year everyone :cool:
[Galaxy Tab General] dovid:
B"H

I'd like to say thanks, too.

Quick Question -

I've been reading about locked bootloaders, new updates, JM6, JMA, JMC ....

Do I need any of that stuff? The process in this thread seems to have worked fine for my AT&T Tab. Do I need to upgrade to anything else, or be worried about some sort of new bootloader?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
The firmwares in the first post are safe to flash. Do not flash any JMA,B,C,D firmware unless its has the name Roto in the filename.
[Galaxy Tab General] xshocksin:
Hey rotohammer, first thanks all that you do in these forums. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to update the firmware I just did from this post to the current roto firmware with instructions on how to do it? I'm new to the whole flashing firmware scene. Following this post was my first time and I was successful so far.
[Galaxy Tab General] dovid:
B"H

OK great, thank you.

One more question - when Samsung (or Google) releases an OTA update, is that going to totally screw up my Tablet? Should I do something now to prevent that from happening?

I'm sending these modified units out into the field, and don't really want my end users to end up screwed 100 miles from home :)

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Tomorrow there will be an updated guide by ayman07, use that. In the mean time, read that thread.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Good question. So far all the updates require a connection to a computer running the Kies software. I've read posts that said there will be no OTA updates for the Tab, but we can only go by whats already rolled out in Europe, and thats not OTA.

I don't know enough about the running services on the Tab to know if theres an OTA updater client running and or how it works.
[Galaxy Tab General] xshocksin:
Thanks rotohammer. I'll wait till tomorrow to do any of your firmware updates. I assume the updated guide will have the updated firmware from you as well? Can you please put a link to the guide here for us noobs to find it easy?
[Galaxy Tab General] xshocksin:
Ok, couple of things I've noticed after following the instructions in this thread to get my att tab working with voice. The browsing experience is very laggy and I can't get a gps signal at all. Is anybody else having the same issues and can someone point me to a fix. I've also notice some small force stop issues with some apps. But, I think that's more because most apps are not made for a tablet yet? Will report more as I continue to use my tab.

I figured out how to get my gps working. After you flash the firmware following the steps in this thread. You want to turn off and back on the gps feature. This should get it working again. Another thing I noticed after doing this flash my ram is being used a lot and that causes most of the lag I experience while web browsing or even just scrolling through my home screens. My testing continues.
[Galaxy Tab General] pengli_2002:
I followed the instruction here and successfully flashed my att tablet, im having voice and 3G now and things seem to work fine. (im using dolphin hd so the browser lag is not that big an issue as some people reported about stock browser) I saw from the other thread 'how to flash euro Rom' that a new roto-jmc firmware was uploaded. For us people happy with JJ4/jk5, is it worthwhile to upgrade?
[Galaxy Tab General] jagrskmu:
Finally flashed, new problem

Finally figured everything out. Flashed both jj4 and jk5 and the modem.

But, now when I put a sim card in it comes up Emergency calls only. Tried mine and my daughters sim cards.

When I go to networks it only shows T-mobile.

What is going on?
[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
I remember when I first put my sim card in the the Tab right out of the box it did not recognize the network. It was not until after I did what you did above did my sim get recognized by the network. However, I am using an ATT device with ATT sim. Used the same process as you. Maybe this does not work for Tmobile?

Flash to roto and see if that works for you.
[Galaxy Tab General] jagrskmu:
Me - idiot

Thanks for the help.

But, I tend to be more of an idiot. I flashed the wrong modem.bin.

It was a 10 nov one. The one we need is 17nov.

Don't ask me how I figured that out.
