****************** It now works (Dec 30, I just had to unlock phone first, see

edit2

for info if anyone is curious) *****************

Hi!! I got a bell tab and trying to flash and get phone working....

So i followed the steps from the first post and applied the following:

Step A - used the pit for PIT,

P1000XWJJ4-REV03-ALL-CL639474.tar for PDA

MODEM_P1000XXJID.tar for Modem

GT-P1000-CSC-SERJJ2.tar for CSC

(w/ re-partition checked) And then i see that the setup wizard isn't english.

Step B - phone in download mode

Used: P1000OXAJK5.tar for PDA

(w/o re-partition)

Setup wizard now in english.

And then at step C, plugging in my fido sim card, it is asking for "SIM network unlock PIN". I dismissed for now and went on to finishing the wizard. Then I went to:

Settings -> Wireless & network -> Mobile Networks -> APN

There were "No Items" for APNs. Am I supposed to add a new APN? If I should, what are the settings aside from wap.cingular? Is there supposed to be at least one APN?

Not knowing what to do about Step C, I went to step D and applied:

modem.bin for PHONE

(downloaded from first post, made sure its the Nov 17 version)

After that, when I plug in my sim again, it is still requesting for the SIM network unlock PIN. I have also tried a rogers sim and still doesn't work.

Any idea as to what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for ANY advice!!!!

edit: I have a monthly plan, not prepaid. was i supposed to insert my sim from the start and leave it in there for the whole flashin process???

Edit2:

Needs to be unlocked, after unlocking, it works very well!! For my fido sim, didn't need to add APN for phone calls.

- Went to the following to backup efs : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859914

- Went here to get it unlocked (Used the updated version): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843323

- Hence, the above steps were working perfectly fine! yay!! ^^

- Lastly, THANK-YOU

One question.

I had jumped on the JMC firmware as soon as it was announced, acouple days before the "don't do it threads!!!" appeared. My bad. I know but I was exipted and it was too easy to do (thanks to this thread by clubtech :)). I know I can still root it but haven't because I really don't have a use for rooting other than to put, say, roto-JME on it.

Is it possible to flash to roto-JME or did I jump the shark when I dove into JMC? Edit: found out that it is impossible to install an unsigned firmware after installing the JM6/JMC and up firmware. Since Rotohammer removed the signed parts (or ?) of the firmware in his Roto-JMx versions I cannot install them or downgrade past JM6. There should be a fix soon as half the people with TAbs seem to have way more knowledge with Android than myself. :)

Edit: I lied. I have another question. If I root it and flash a stock firmware with the roto resotre methode if I get the stock files needed? (I don't have them but that realy isn't the concern. The concern is weather or not I will still have the locked bootloader or not after the restore.)
[Galaxy Tab General] lucboucim:
You must unlock your tab. See elsewhere how to do it. Once it is unlocked it will accept any sim. You must then set the apn forvyour carrier
[Galaxy Tab General] lemoniii:
Thank you! Found out when I went to other threads and realized I forgot to unlock.. ==" The most important step.. XD haha..

I've also updated my post in case it misdirects anyone ><"

THANKYOU ALL!

Can someone post the stock att tab modem? I flashed my att usa tab with the bell modem provided in first post and I'm not getting any data connection. I did with the stock att modem. I just made the switch to the bell modem because people were saying it's faster than stock.

Nevermind I figured out what was wrong.
[Galaxy Tab General] jerichoweb:
Hi, I succesfully flashed JJ4 and JK5 on my Bell GT, everything went well, I'm very new here and to the android world, thanks to everyone that contributed to this post.

I haven't flashed the modem yet, before I do it I'd like to know if flashing the modem to the latest telus or bell I am going to give up any European band enabled by the current firmware (I'm going to use the tab mostly in canada with Bell and Italy with Vodafone).

thanks for clarifying about this point.

Is there also a way to check what are the active bands on the GT?

thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] titiubs:
"**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."

The SIM card that you mentioned needs to be from AT&T or I can use my brazilian SIM to do this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
Are you saying they handicapped the upload right out of the box? Or only if we change around the ROMS..? You have GOT to be kidding me!! From what you said, I guess it's only if you try this and put on the EURO ROM with the AT&T modem..?
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
warranty is void the minute u flash another ROM. thought there was a better reason :P anyway, works for me so im happy with it.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
They did this on the Captivate as well, so this is not surprise HSUPA is disabled here.

Why do they keep on crippling devices like this, beats me.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Did you lose HSUPA with this setup?

But it's only disabled when you start flashing right? Not out of the box..? Worse comes to worse, I can put the Bell modem bin and get the MMS option again with the right upload speeds - the calling. Would like the calling piece but it's already a better device for me if it has the MMS and no bloatware. You have the Bell BIN..?
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Hey CT, can you post up the Bell modem.bin, I'll give it a try up here on our HSPA-only Telus/Bell networks. The AT&T modem is definitely throttling uploads to around 400k.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
See attached.

Extract and rename the file to modem.bin

Flash.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
I found a modem that works!!

I just tried the Bell modem from the recent i9000 2.2 leak and it works.

I now get 850/1900 WCDMA, HSUPA and voice calls all to work.

I will attached the modem to the first post in a moment.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
NICE WORK! When I get this on mine when I get it tomorrow.. Any way I can insert you some tokens..? LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Nice! Um, also looks like I might have to spend some time back in the I9000 forums, eh? Leaked Froyo for the I9000M?

EDIT: 3247kbps upload using the i9000 modem. That's a new record for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
I would like to know this also. On the 1st flash to the Russian ROM, do we have PDA, Phone & CSC checked along with re-partition, auto reboot & reset time..? And the only difference in the 2nd flash is no PIT or re-partition but still reboot & reset..? Sorry man, last phone I flashed with odin was the epic 4g and that was around the time it came out...
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
In the first flash, with JJ4, use the PIT, PDA, Modem and CSC from that package, in the respective locations in Odin, with re-partition checked (and this WILL nuke your internal SD card, so if you have backups, move them somewhere else).

In the second flash, the P1000OXAJK5.tar file is loaded via PDA, there is no PIT, Modem or CSC (and no-repartition).

Make sense now?
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
It does, Thank you! I take it modem is phone in odin and when I flash the Bell modem in the 3rd & final flash, I just check modem..? Thanks Croak!
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
That's correct. The Russian flash will do all at once (pit, phone, pda and csc). I owe Adapt0r for his post which details which file is which http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838250&page=7

The second flash, you don't have to untar the file, just select the file.tar under PDA and Start. I owe samfirmware video on youtube for this :)

Thank you so much for clubtech's hard work!!!

Disclaimer: please don't blame me if you brick your tab. Back up, back up and back up again :)

AT&T Tab rooted

I rooted the Tab with no problem using the rage method, backed up all the original firmware this time before I setup the unit.

I'm itching to flash this puppy.
[Galaxy Tab General] digitalmatrixio:
Does going through this process reset the device to defaults or will all my customizations stay in tact? Namely rooting, customizing ADW Launcher, etc...

[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
I used the bell modem you attached in first post and I could get 54Kb/sec (you read that right, it's a dial-up modem speed) for upload. I'm not complaining as I'm in the worst AT&T coverage (I have a Microcell for my phone).

My download speed is 2.1Mb/sec. I'm also happy but what is the download speed you get, clubtech?
[Galaxy Tab General] slickb:
I'm planning to use this in the Philippines and the frequencies there are 900/1800 GSM and 2100 3G.

If i want to enable 2100 instead of 1900 and 850 for 3G, can i simply use the T959UVJL5 modem or does the bell i9000 modem actually already support 2100? If not, what do i do to get voice and 2100 3G?
[Galaxy Tab General] flashvr6:

Hi all

Considering doing this to a Rogers Tab I just bought. I believe I read something earlier in this thread about issues with Rogers modem. Is this still the case or is there no problem with the Bell firmware on a Rogers Tab. I also assume the OP instructions on pg1 still apply. Ack! Its firmware for the modem not driver.. sorry

Does changing that csc code change the frequencies/bands? What does that code do besides enable us to get a few samsung apps?

I have T -mob tab, unlocked and I flashed the EURO rom yesterday (with ROTO-JMA.tar as explained in the video). Everything went fine. Kudos to RotoHammer and Ayman.

But.... after I inserted AT&T sim from my iphone, I wasnt able to make any phone calls. I kept on receiving "Refreshing Sim Data" message on home screen which would fade away and then show up again. Also I was able to use Edge from AT&T before flashing, now it does show icon "E" or "G" on taskbar but it only uploads and there is no downloading.I tried 2 different AT&T sims(both from different Iphones). With my original T mob sim, I can access Edge though ( was 3G earlier - but I knew about that).

Any helpful thoughts?

Thanks

I should have mentioned earlier that I do see network bars (though they keep fluctuating) and AT&T's name on tab screen.I added APN settings obtained from google search as well.

OKK. got internet and phone to work atleast.Yeppeeeee...... Thanks to " x2beach : 13th November 2010, 09:18 PM

to get your tmobile Tab to work on att u have to settings>wireless and network>mobile network. then change Network Mode from AUTO to GSM Only

then you can use this on ATT with EDGE internet.
[Galaxy Tab General] ashmanu:
Another problem now. So changing to GSM only as mentioned above, made my phone + data work BUT.... data is GPRS only and not even edge. ???? GPRS is giving me speeds og 8Kbps/sec download and 41kbps/sec upload. Its really slow.

Do I need to flash again for a different modem settings?
[Galaxy Tab General] Ryplok:
3G 2100 confirmed

I saw some people asking whether the Bell modem would support 3G 2100. I tested it in Brazil with 3G 850 and 2100 and it supports both frequencies perfectly.

Awesome job, Clubtech!
[Galaxy Tab General] AnyMal:
Check the update at the bottom of OP, you'll need to flash Bell modem to get back full 3G on AT&T.

He's using Tmob tab. I don't think you could get AT&T 3G (using AT&T SIM of course) w Tmob tab regardless of which modem.

hey guys, forgive this possibly noob question:

flashed my stock galaxy tab and all went well (THANKS CLUBTECH!!!), but when surfing etc there's an 'H' over the icon/arrows during data transfer. should it say '3G' like when i'm on my captivate? is there something else i should have done or is there a way to verify 3G? any info is greatly appreciated. thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] fcarmona:
H=3.5G

H > G

And it is cause the kernel in your tab.

Question about tablet once flashed.

I was wondering, I currently am using an Bell HTC Desire Z with the $10 Unlimited Media Net internet, because AT&T doesn't recognize the phone as a smartphone.

I was wondering, if I plop this SIM card into the tablet, will AT&T recognize it as a Smartphone, maybe via IMEI? or will I be able to keep the Media Net?

Has anyone else tried it?
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
Wonderful. That's all i have to say.

I finally flashed succesfully my Samsung Tab , Bell operator , canada.

I have a question thoguh.

How do we eventually update it to a newer euro firmware?

How do you know when they are avaliable?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Is Media Net the real internet? I used at&t and I recall media net only going to wap sites.

Anyway, at&t hasn't been using any filters like t-mobile does by the IMEI number. Why not try it? You will have to go to network settings, and select gsm only (my guess).

Repair AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab SHG-I987 after unsuccessful flash

Yesterday I tried to flash my at&t Tab to make calls + 1900+850 WCDMA - UPDATED and no was really successful, now my TAB didn't start after the flashing... also pressing the power + volume down show's no effect. The display turns on only when it's powered by the charger displaying and apeare 2 icons of a phone and a computer.

Please any tutorial or solution show me step by step how revive :(

[Galaxy Tab General] johdaxx:
Media net will definitely give you the whole internet, unlocked Nokia phones still work that way. ATT does have the capability to filter based on IMEI (ATT N1's were a pleasant :( surprise ) but worst case, you can put your card back in the other phone and go into the OLAM and set it back to the $10 plan.

Most likely, this configuration is probably a small enough blip on the radar that ATT won't care.

Thanks a lot i followed the first post and my att tab has all the goodies.

But I have some questions:

1) Does P1000XXJK5 (from the first post) have protected bootloader?

2) If I want to move to "[ROM] Roto JME Pre-Rooted Firmware v4" do I use the files

Roto-JME-Full-v4.zip or Roto-JME-Upgrade-v4.zip? Repartition?

I'm afraid that if I applied the wrong file, settings i will brick it.

Thx

hi i have a few questions as well:

I currently have an iPhone 3 with AT&T, but i want to switch to a galaxy tab as my full time phone. I am in the USA

1) Can you text with the Galaxy tab with your actual cell #? (is MMS supported?)

2) What type of Galaxy tab do i have to buy? Can i buy any version?

3) Does the galaxy tab have to be "unlocked" before i can install the Euro OS? or do i immediately follow the steps in this thread?

thanks!!

U do have to root your phone b4 flashing. U could also buy an European tab & att acct which doesnt require flashing to have voice. Lastly u could buy any tab & use Google voice plus VoIP software to call & receive calls

[Galaxy Tab General] woneill1701:
It all depends on your service provider...

I believe there are two GSM systems in Canada similar to the US - the AT&T compatible ones (850 & 1900 MHz) and the T-Mobile ones (1700/1200 MHz AWS).

The Euro tab supports 900, 1900 and 2100 so would work in 3G mode if your service provider uses 1900 MHZ. Otherwise, you are looking at EDGE speeds.

(An unlocked Euro tab will do calls on any GSM provider...)
[Galaxy Tab General] w4rmk:
You need to check GSM frequencies, i.e. what freq. does the carrier use that you are buying the Tab from and what freq. does the Canadian carrier use? If they match you should be good. For example in the USA T-Mobile and AT&T use different freq. for 3G speed so they aren't compatible (their Edge freq. are compatible though).
[Galaxy Tab General] freeman9911:
At the moment I am not interested in the phone feature. I just want to be able to use another unlimited 3g sim card (i use now with laptop) instead of the 2GB limited one I have for my Tab. I tried to unlock SIM but didn't help. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab General] woneill1701:
Even for non-phone use, you need to match the radio characteristics of the device with your service provider.

For non phone use you could use the regular US firmware (on a US device) and just unlock the device using the hex editing method from Rotohammer. This would allow you to use any SIM.

However, if the service provider and device are not matched, you will be limited to EDGE transfer speeds.

The three types of GSM device can roughly be characterised as Euro (supporting 900, 1900, and 2100 MHz UMTS 3G), T-Mobile (supporting the 1700/2100 MHz AWS, and 2100 MHz UMTS 3G), and AT&T (supporting 850, 1900, and 2100 MHz UMTS 3G).

In North America, only two types of GSM type 3G are used: AT&T using the 850 and 1900 MHz bands, and T-Mobile using the 1700/2100 MHz AWS band. (AWS uses 1700 for upload and 2100 for download; the 2100 download is not the same as the European 2100 3G that all the phones also support.)

If your equipment is of the T-Mobile type, once unlocked, it will only give 3G speeds in North America if your service provider uses AWS. If your equipment is of the AT&T type, it will only give you 3G speeds in North America if your service provider uses 850 or 1900 MHz. If your equipment is of the Euro type, it will only give you 3G speeds in North America if your service provider uses 1900 MHz (a subset of the AT&T type frequencies).

Otherwise in North America you will be limited to EDGE speeds.

ALL devices will give 3G speeds in Europe due to the universal 2100 MHz support.

So, even if you unlock your device, the different frequencies mean that it is effectively crippled if you choose the wrong provider.

[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Yes there is a difference. You will have 3g and voice after you follow the original instructions with at&t tab, t-mobile people will not. That's why this thread has the title.
[Galaxy Tab General] woneill1701:
The AT&T tab will work on the AT&T network, and can be used as a phone without any compromise once flashed. It can also be unlocked and used on a TMO network, but will only give you EDGE speeds.

The TMO tab needs major hacks to work as a phone, and until someone hacks together a 3G+Voice capable modem, it will not allow 3G and voice without re-boots. Additionally, TMO is filtering the IMEI numbers of TMO tabs and blocking internet access.

For now, the AT&T tab is the best bet if you want voice.
