[Galaxy Tab General] 3dadd:
"How to" Guide for updating AT&T to P1000 firmware with Picts

I'll start by saying that I purchased an unlocked Tablet for $950.00 and also use it as phone (My iPhone4 is now gathering dust and completely bores me) and work just sent me a new AT&T Samsung tablet out of the blue. I can't imagine using the Samsung Tablet without the phone feature.All you need is simple 10.00 Bluetooth ear piece and you're all set.

After reading all 22 pages in this thread, and getting my AT&T Samsung tablet up and running in 10 minutes, I decided to post the steps in screen shot format to help make it easier for Android newbs like me.

I take no credit for the steps - all of that credit goes to the 22 pages ahead of me.

Hope it helps -

UPDATE:

On my Windows 7 64 machine, I had to download the Samsung Kies app in order to get Odin to see my Samsung Tab. Again, you'll know it when you see the Tab get the Yellow bar as indicated in the picture.

While I've unlocked dozens of original iPhones (required about 20 steps before the one click apps we have today), I'm completely new to Android and learned everything from this post (thanks to all) .

I'm really only writing this post to help these guys from answering the same question over and over. We will need these experts when Android 2.3 comes out and we get to do this all over again.

Adding this original info to the post as requested.

Page 1 from this post.

I do agree this can be a risky process but not impossible. You need to double check that the files are in the right place (as pictured) and that you check or uncheck the correct boxes. The main issue is not really "bricking/killing" your Tab, it's when you do something out of order people start panicing and post HELP HELP - most of which can be avoided by reading.

If you're nervous, just READ the entire post, if you're still nervous - READ IT AGAIN.

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.
