What do you mean by nothing happens? You start Odin and it doesn't recognize the tab? You have the tab in download mode, right?

Worked for me!

OP method worked for me. I now have voice/data on my AT&T Tab using the SIM card from my Captivate. Thank you so much!
[Galaxy Tab General] PRTEQ:
I went to AT&T and put my best innocent face and says "I dont know how, but the tab doesnt work" and after a few questions they change it, (any way I was the firs one to buy one at that store).

With the new one I could flash the Russian Rom, but now I am about to flash the Euro one but I dont know what to put in PDA and CSC.

The file says cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, param.lfs and zImage.

Can some one tell me wish ones are?

thanks

Depends on the value proposition, and that varies from person to person. To me, it's a much better value than the $650 I've typically been paying for high-end smartphones.

Hell, I reckon I've gotten a couple hundred dollars enjoyment out of it in less than a week. Seriously, my nice 50" LED LCD display has had less use in six months than my Tab has had in five days. (Granted, I don't watch or have television service, it's pretty much a BluRay rig).
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Ok,here it is! Its a harddrive magnet mounting to an existing belt clip, with a single velco strap to prevent downward slide removal.

To remove it from the belt, I lift the strap, and slid the unit down off the magnet.

I wear it everywhere. No problems.

I've been trying to get Media Hub back and working with no luck. I have the backup files. I even extract the backup files and override what comes with Euro ROM, still keep receiving "location unknown" error. I also tried to copy from backup files: com.google.android.location, com.android.media.providers etc. still no luck.

Just want to enjoy my $50 credit ya know but it's not the end of the world as I have all other features back to the way it's supposed to be.

so i guess everybody gave up on tmobile

wonder how many returns there getting

$718.11 to be precise, this includes "CA RECYCLE FEE".

Anyway, I flashed according to instructions in the first post and it is working perfectly. I just tested voice and HSDPA icon is in the notification bar.

Now I can enjoy it till the end of my proably short life, till the evening when I will come home and my wife will kill me for buying it without talking about it with her.

BTW, it kind of (half) fits in my jeans back pocket.

Clubtech, Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
Dude, I think I got it working. I installed the media hub apk from my tmobile into my att one. Then I used rootexplorer to edit the build.prop and I changed all the GT-P1000 with SGH-T849(Tmobile model number). I rebooted, opened the media hub and everything was there; all the videos, movies. I even signed in with my account, and all my prior purchases were there. I dont know exactly how many lines need to be changed in build prop, but I changed the model line, the name, device, board, region changed to US, and the product.

I can confirm that I am downloading my first movie into my ATT tab with euro firmware(3g and voice).
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
Well, that was a piece of cake!!! 100% done here! 3000 download, 2000 upload.. on average... Again, THANK YOU ALL and especally Clubtech! Amazing, just amazing!
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Editing the build.prop to SGH-T849/US worked for me too.

Tried using the AT&T model number (SGH-I987) and the Bell number (GT-P1000M), no luck, but the Media Hub.apk I downloaded from somewhere here must be a T-Mobile one. Was there an AT&T one?

FYI, I'm using a Canadian carrier SIM and it's still working, even over 3G. Even takes my Canadian credit cards. :)

EDIT: Doesn't take my Canadian credit cards after all. Bummer.

I'll let you know tomorrow. Quick Q... I put in my SD card, installed Google Earth... (20+MB) Tried to move to SD card. Said it's on the card but the MB did not change. Still 20+MB's... Is this normal for the tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
do you have that link for media hub
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Think it was in the Apps and Themes or Dev section, thread by the name, do a search.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Thank for you giving a try and providing tips. But I do need the original AT&T MediaHub.pak as with Tmobile one, I could log in and purchase but can't redeem the voucher. It says this device/carrier is not supported. Apparently backing it up using Titanium and manually restore/override the existing files (Tmobile ones) wasn't enough.

It looks like somwehre system still calls com.sdgtl.mediahub.tmob (under Apps, Running services) even though I wiped it out under /data/data/ and hoping it will use com.sdgtl.mediahub.p1.att instead but that's not the case. And I think this won't allow me to redeem AT&T the voucher as the error message indicates so.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Attached is the at&t mediahub.apk from the stock firmware.

Someone please post exact instructions on what should be edited in build.prop to get it to work.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
Has anyone tried the video call option? I noticed the dialer has it listed. Anyone wanna give it a stab on at&t's 3g network? Give me a PM.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Well some progress but not quite there....It forces me to update with a message "An important update is available! To continue using Media Hub you must accept the update" click OK will take me to Market which will yield no such file/update. Click Cancel, it closes the app.

We really need the one from /system/app directory from a virgin AT&T tab! lol
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
The one that i posted is from a virgin at&t firmware.

We need the APK from someone who already updated his version and has the updated APK.
[Galaxy Tab General] rgbc:
Thanks for the guide clubtech. Voice and data are working on my Bell Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
Hey, has anyone noticed the screen waking up once in a while by itself, even when the Tab is locked?

Also, it seems PayPal app is missing from the Market. Hmm, maybe Market thinks this Tab is not US anymore? Hmm not really, Market enabler shows the network code is 310410 which is AT&T Wireless
[Galaxy Tab General] feisley:
Has anyone else tried this on the European Tab?

After flashing the Bell i9000 Modem, the Tab would only connect in (G)PRS mode.

Flashing back to the European modem brought 3G back (although 850 Mhz is still gone)
[Galaxy Tab General] mywingtophone:
my tmobile tab is returning back to store today as i lost my hope in flashing it to enable voice/3g. At&t store here i come.

Thanks. Was interested in the 2100 for Japan, which I believe is the same as the one from Europe

That's great (I a actually on holidays in japan right now and will get the Tab as soon as I get back :) )
[Galaxy Tab General] CyberGhos:
Is root necessary at all before flashing? Please share your method of rooting if needed.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
You don't need to root to flash, but you'll need root to back up properly first, in case you want your old AT&T apps, etc.

Best root for the Galaxy Tab is Z4Root, a free download from the Market, that will let you unroot as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] rgbc:
I haven't checked paypal but I did notice my paid Astro app is missing from the market, free version is still there though, haven't had time to investigate yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] PRTEQ:
What I notice missing is the free youtube downloder.

Anyone has found a solution?
[Galaxy Tab General] CyberGhos:
Thanks, Man. Will flash this weekend.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
If you see missing apps from the market it is because XXJK5 is not an official firmware and the market is not showing protected apps.

To change this you will need to edit the build.prop file under /system and change the fingerprint.

If you are lazy you can do the following:

1) root the tab

2) install busybox from the market, open the app and install busybox from within the app.

3) install GST from the market

4) go top step 6 in the app "change your fingerprint" ad run the script

5) go to setting > applications > manage applications > ALL > find "market", force stop and clear data

6) reboot the tab, reopen the market - you should see all apps now.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Careful. I did that, and now I'm stuck in a FC loop after the Samsung animated loading screen. Vibration of death.
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
To get all the protected apps from the market, use rootexplorer to edit your build.prop file. First back up your file for just in case, then replace the line that starts with "ro.build.fingerprint" with:

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SGH-T849/SGH-T849/SGH-T849:2.2/FROYO/UVJJB:user/release-keys

It worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
So, the ten dollar question, since I'll need to reflash this, is if I need to re-partition when installing JJ4 again..or if I even need to do that if a flash of JK5 and modem will do the trick.

EDIT: Reflashing JK5 and modem.bin got me running again, a recent Titanium backup took care of the rest. CAREFUL with that GST app.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Busybox must not have been fully installed if that happened.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
That must have been it. I had the installer, but I don't recall if I'd ran it since the phone-enabling flash.

Back up and running, actually installed BB this time, ran GST, and it's getting full market access.
[Galaxy Tab General] puleen:
Folks I am a total newbie to this modding/flashing thing and have a Bell Galaxy Tab which I want to enable Voice + data on and use my Rogers SIM to make calls / surf.

How do I go about flashing the two files that are mentioned in the tutorial (P1000XXJK5 & P1000XWJJ)? Do I need to extract them and put them on a SDCARD?

Can anyone point me to a tutorial that shows me how to go about doing this as a beginner?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Odin and flashing is covered in a sticky on the Galaxy S I9000 subforum, it all applies to the Tab as well as the Galaxy S phones. Should get you up to speed on the terminology, etc.

But the OP in this thread by clubtech is pretty clear and informative.
[Galaxy Tab General] rgbc:
This did the trick for me thanks. Didn't even have to open this page on the Tab, just selected the text and sent it via Chrome to Phone to the Tab, populates the clipboard automatically.
[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
Thanks, any idea what is original AT&T Tab's market fingerprint?

Found it in factoryfs.rfs from the dumped AT&T rom posted in forum.

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SGH-I987/SGH-I987/SGH-I987:2.2/FROYO/UCJH7:eng/test-keys

but it doesnt show all aps in the market ;-(
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
How did you edit the file? It says it's "read only" I copied it and moved it to another folder and made the changes but I still can't even copy over the file.. Still says "read only"
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
You need to have an app that will set superuser permissions before you can overwrite a R/W file. Root Explorer is the preferred choice for this.

GST, as clubtech mentioned, works fine as long as you install Busybox first.

SGS Tools (also on the Market) has a build.prop editor that works fine, as well. No need for Busybox or anything, just a rooted phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
I am using rootexplorer. super user added the permission.. Went into rootexployer. It will let me change anything as long as it's not in the system dir. I can even edit files in system/bin. Just not /system.

AHH, Forgot the mount R/W... duhh..
[Galaxy Tab General] TreoFred:
Actually, on my vanilla AT&T Tab, the prop.build says:

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SGH-I987/SGH-I987/SGH-I987:2.2/FROYO/UCJK1:user/release-keys

so it looks that the firmware in here is an Engineering test one, not a released one from AT&T Tab.

I987UCJK1 is the name throughout on mine.

Side question: I have both a Verizon and an AT&T Tab, and noticed how severely limited the AT&T one vs. Verizon (no mobile HotSpot, USB Tethering removed from the menu (but still works though if you just bring a widget for it back), prevent non market application, etc.) Are those limitations gone when flashing the roms mentioned in this thread?

Thanks guys
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Yes, you'll have a fully functioning Tab after you flash, with no carrier applications, good or bad.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Could you please backup your /system/app on the AT&T tab to your PC or external SD before flashing please?

We're looking for MediaHub.apk from AT&T tab (before flashing). I'm sure there other apps you might need after flashing w Euro but by copying to an external device beforehand, you will still have them.
[Galaxy Tab General] xbrewdude:
I have a non-smartphone at&t cell. Do I understand that the SIM from that phone is not sufficient to complete the hack?
[Galaxy Tab General] TreoFred:
Will do tonight. Should I do the same with the Verizon apps? Some of them are not even the same version (email for instance) and act differently.
[Galaxy Tab General] CyberGhos:
After flashing the phone, I can connect to internet. In the notification bar, my phone shows "H" not "3G". Do I connect to 3G? How do I check what band (1900 or 850 MHz) my data connection is on?
[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
Yes, H means HSxPA.

[Galaxy Tab General] osetivo:
The ID:COM box in Odin will light up if you have a successful connection between the GT and PC. My guess is that you don't have the proper USB drivers.

I tinkered for hours trying to get the GT to connect to my Win7-64 PC. I finally installed the Non-American Samsung KIES software (bloatware) just for the USB drivers

http://mea.samsungmobile.com/ENG/support/softwaremanuals/software.do?phone_model=GT-P1000&sw_type=SW

Hopefully someone can point you in the right direction for just the drivers.
[Galaxy Tab General] cgerdb:
You are awesome man, that what was wrong with my win 7 32 bit netbook, the drivers!!. i can voice (incomin/outgoing/voicemail), data (edge/3g), text (sms/mms). Once i get the media hub back on I'll post a dummy guide, thanks a lot to all that have helped!!!

hello,

just wondering... i'm currently in Europe & was thinking about purchasing a galaxy tab to take back home to the states. If I did, could I just drop in my ATT sim & resume usage like I would my captivate? any info is appreciated, thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Sort of, but you'll only get 3G on the 1900 band, there will be no 850 band on the Euro device, which will mean less than stellar (or no) 3G coverage depending on where you are.

If you can wait, you're far better off getting a AT&T/Bell/Rogers version and flashing it according to the OP, for use in the US.
[Galaxy Tab General] ice10:
thanks for the info, i thought about getting the euro tab because it's 'voice call' ready, just drop in a sim. but then i though that was a bit too easy. I would hate to spend the cash & have it not work back in the US.

Backing up original rom before taking the plunge? possible newbiew question.

Fantastic :) I have been looking for something exactly like this. Would be great to have a device with a larger screen that I could use both both data and phone as well as remote support (VNC etc) that I could fit in my jacket pocket. Would most def. be worth the $700 investment.

I noticed on this thread that someone had success with the Bell units and getting Voice and Data to work on the telus networks. I grabbed a Bell unit and was able to unlock and root as well as find the various USB drivers for both the download mode and kies to hook up odin as well as the drivers for the adb usb connection.

Though before taken the plunge of flashing the european roms I really want to get a dump/recovery image of the original bell rom so that if doesn't work I can flash back to the original rom in factory condition and return it. All of the original documentation I have come across in searching for an answer mention clockworks which doesn't work on the galaxy tab that or accessing/installing the nandroid or even getting to that screen.

The closest thing that I found mentions using adb and odin to get the original rom partitions and sucking those up to the SD card. But the guide is specific to the Behold and wonder if its applicable to the case of the Galaxy tab, or whether the partitions/files it saying to backup and compile are the rights ones for this unit?

[Won't let me paste the url see the androidforumsDOTcom -> tinyurlDOTcomSLASH2e9ae4e]

Does anyone have a general guide as to backing up the original stock Galaxy Tab Bell stock roms or know where to download them just in case the phone hack doesn't work so that I can return in original factory condition?? I realise this maybe a newbie question but if I could get a recovery image just in case would make it much easier to test this out just in case it fails.
[Galaxy Tab General] abdroid:
Bell Recovery Rom

Ok, I think I just bricked it. Was trying out odin to see if I could dump the memory from the device.

Got the phone + exclamation+ computer screen which will only boot to that. Guess I am commited to going thru the steps in the start of this article.

Does anyone have a rom image of the original Bell stock rom that I can grab to flash it back to stock?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
You may want to flash the bell modem.bin only with odin to get the unit "unstuck". It will reboot the Tab when done and get it out of download mode and back to stock.

I hope you didn't Euro-Flash it yet :)

thank you SO MUCH that worked, was worried I bricked it for good

"I hope you didn't Euro-Flash it yet "

which brings me back to my original question, how do I dump the stock bell rom from the device so I could flash it back if the euro flash doesnt work?

I know that might be a newbie question, but would give great peice of mind if I can go back step if this doesnt work. I have been talking to a few of my fellow IT geeks here and they are interested in having this device for conveniance to.

Hi all -

Just a quick question:

I'm up and running with phone and HSUPA, is everything golden or should I restart?
