Update 1

All apps work except Samsung App and Reader Hub (error no sim card installed).

I had to uninstall and reinstall all my apps from the market, they all work fine now.

Rebooting is a little odd, as in I see the Samsung logo then a black screen, then the bootup sound with the screen still black. have to tap the power button 2 times to get the unlock screen.

Camera and GPS work which is nice as I borked them with a previous flash.

My Bluetooth Logitec mouse and keyboard work fine. YAY

If I turn the Tab completely off I have to pair and connect any bluetooth items again, other then this It looks good so far.

The Odin 1.7 Log from Flashing from Zypher_v1.tar to ROTO-JME v4.tar ( I deleted the movinand file before flashing, only way it would work).

I assume there is no way to get 3G back until someone can dump the stock sprint modem file.

nice.........
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Thanks for the work you're putting into this. Excited to see what develops....
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
Minor update.

I just went to Gamelofts site to test compatability and realized I have no idea what carrier/country to select, ugh.

Anyone know what Country and Carrier to select for a full flash of ROTO-JME v4?

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
another update

For some reason the /sdcard is only 200 megs.

inside /sdcard is external_sd that has 13.5 gigs free after installing everything.

does that seem odd? /sdcard/external_sd

Anyone have any idea what is going on?

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
last update for tonight.

Flashed T-Mobile_Stock.tar over ROTO-JME v4 (the one I deleted movinand from) and it failed.

For a goof I deleted the modem.bin from the T-Mobile ROM and reflashed and it worked, paired and connected my Bluetooth mouse. didnt check all the apps to see if they work or not.

Going to Flash back to Sprint Stock and see what happens.

[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I don't know specifically about the Sprint Tab, but on the GSM Tabs you have 16gb of internal memory. Take off around 2GB for the system/data, and you have around 14GB available which appears as /sdcard. The microSD itself appears as /sdcard/external_sd.

I guess that on your Tab, since you only have 2GB internal memory, /sdcard is now what remains from that 2GB after you take out the system/data partitions etc, and /sdcard/external_sd is now your actual SD card (as per GSM Tabs).

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] anielk77:
wow, great job you are doing.

I also have a sprint Tab but it is CDMA.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
My Sprint is CDMA like all the other ones, I just flashed it to axe the modem as I wanted a WIFI only and did not hear about that model coming out until after I bought this one, as well as being so mad at Sprint for disabling HID, I did not want to see there dumb name on my tab.

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
Now if someone could get Rotohammer to make a version of Roto's JMEv4 (for CDMA) without Samsung Apps and Reader Hub as they need a SIM card and remove the movinand file I would like to try and flash that with maybe the modem from the Zypher thread and see if 3G will work, until someone figures out how to get the stock CDMA modem.

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] laxwillsch:
Hey thank you so much for doing all this. I am very interested in getting involved. The only experience I have to offer is extensive flashing of my captivate, I have used ADB, Odin, CWM, and know how to do pretty much everything involved with flashing roms, modems, themes, ect. I really hope this leads to some development on the sprint tab because I have been getting awful bored running stock.
[Galaxy Tab General] anielk77:
I also use the tab wifi only as I bought the tab in the US and I live in the Netherlands and we don not have cdma here :).

I'll keep on following your work. I also want to get rid of the sprint crap
[Galaxy Tab General] jdiem:
Following in your footsteps, but now stuck at Samsung Boot Screen

Thanks for going through all this trial and error with the Sprint Tab.

I got inspired to try the same thing with my tab, and I've created a soft brick. I reflashed the tab with the JM6, JME, and JMF firmwares... and the firmwares copy over to the tab successfully, but then I get stuck at the Samsung boot prompt.

I've successfully flashed Roto's JME-v4 over to the tab, removing the movinand.mst also, otherwise it got stuck. The flash is successful, but on restart I still get the Samsung boot screen, and it just keeps cycling on the Samsung logo.

Any thoughts on how I un-brick this thing?
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
The times I got a soft brick, I flashed back to Zypher_v1.tar or tab_sprint_noModem_20101226.tar both I got from the Dev forums here.

I did not do any Dalvik cache wipe or factory resets, or any kind of backup before starting.

I used the Odin version and pit file if any suggested.

I got that modem - pc download screen instaed of the nornal download screen after several failed flashes but always seemed to be able to reflash.

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] papi92:
The only problem i am having is mounting the sd card. my tablet wont see it. now i am on a verizon tablet.
[Galaxy Tab General] anielk77:
which pit file to use for the sprint version?
[Galaxy Tab General] saud11:
The same question
[Galaxy Tab General] papi92:
The pit file proved by roto.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rollablunt420:
Links for downloads.

I was just wondering if i can get the links for all the downloads that you used. I got a bricked tab and need it to awaken from the dead. That would be cool. I'm quite familiar with odin it's a pretty easy software if you get messing around with it.

Just a heads up to the noobs just catching onto it make sure you know what your doing. Start your tab in download mode by powering down the phone and holding the (up+power button). That has always been successful for me.

Heads up to all the rom cookers i will donate $50 to the person that cooks up a rom working in full steps on rooting, bootloading, flashing, and having the tab run with a decent kernal for overclocked. On top i would like to see some honeycomb features added to the rom, if not then gingerbread running adw launcher. The modem is a MAJOR plus because we want to walk around not being on wifi and still surf the internet with the crappy 2gb or 5gb limit. DATA SHOULD BE UNLIMITED!!! The person that does that email me everything you compile and I'll develop on my end. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Gaigebacca:
Is there anyway to flash everything but the modem? I have a Sprint Tab, but I have to have the 3g, GPS, and wifi on it... but I also have to have the bluetooth HID working too... I have been wracking my brain to get this damn thing solved...
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
I have no idea, sorry. Now I wish I kept the modem working until I finished flashing all the various ROMS, I just assumed that the Sprint modem would be dumped like the other ones by now.

I know that you can use 7zip to delete the modem.bin file from the tar files as that is what I have been doing, but I started doing that after converting to wifi only so just deleting the modem.bin might not be enough, need somebody crazy enough to test it with a working CDMA modem :)

Be that as it may, If anyone wants to try dumping a CDMA modem.bin I will test it on my device. (running ROTO JMI v1 on my Sprint Tab as of now)

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] cruiserbax:
ME!! I have some dumps and was about to brake my modem to test them! PM me and I will keep em coming until your radios work again or I can't get a good dump! I don't want to post them here because people will start flashing them without reading.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morolinith:
Another update.

Flashed AT&T stock Rom with modem, failed. I don't remember all the details but it was a pain to get the Sprint stock Rom flashed back, Almosted bricked myself. No more messing with the AT&T Roms for me :)

Flashed ROTO JMI v1 with the movinand.mft file deleted with 7zip. been working fine for several days.

Bluetooth HID still works but I still have the problem of the Tab forgetting all paired devices after a reboot of the Tab, Have to repair and connect then it works fine untill next reboot.

Got a Dinovo Mini, pairs and connects, works fine.

Jailbroke my iPhone and got MyWi from Cydia. Now I can use my iphone as a wifi hotspot and the Tab connects and works fine, woot. I don't see why I would pay for 2 data plans when my phone is always with me and now works fine with the Tab.

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rollablunt420:
Currently my tab is in at the sprint store. They are chill as hell. I literally told the guy that i screwed up with rooting the tab with flashing all the roms i could try out. The sprint guy was like, "My phone is rooted too. Screw stock version they just take out all the features the device was intended to have." Pretty chill over at sprint for me.

I tried flashing the modem.bin provided on here. It gave me the capability to get on the internet through sprint, but lost text messaging for all messaging that the tab has to offer, MMS, SMS, IM, Email, and video etc. That was a big bummer for me.

If anyone of you guys has a firmware that i can flash on the device thats a stocked version for sprint that will have the modem.bin in it where i can get my messaging back that would be cool.

UPDATE: the reason why sprint is having so much trouble with the sms is because it's not the hex number but another number communicating with the device is not the number matching so the tab is trying to send out a message using another IMEI number of some sort the confusion is affecting the phone. So to the people that flash the modem.bin file on their tab it will get rid of your sms mms and so forth FOREVER!!!! Just keep that in mind.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mnemoch:
So ummm...any update guys? Just got my Sprint Tab and would love to flash a new ROM; just for wifi use (although don't want to kill the GPS). Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameskever:
I apologize in advanced.

A friend handed me her vibrant and asked me to flash it so she could have the wi-fi hot spot ability.

I rooted it, then foolishly put one of the ROM's and now the phone is soft bricked... meaning I can get into recovery mode with the volume keys and power, but that's it.

I've tried to install a different rom from the external sdcard through recovery and it failed. (That is the only way I can get access a new update.zip file on the phone)

Can someone tell me exactly what to do to get a froyo rom on this phone working? I'd really really appreciate it.

P.S. I am on a mac, so I'm really looking for a solution that requires installing something from the external sd card. Is that even possible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Well you can go back to stock with Odin and try again...but since you're on a Mac....i think the Odin alternate is called Heimdall or something

EDIT: Found it....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834195

I'm sure it works just like Odin.....get the files needed to go back to stock here

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameskever:
I'm glad someone is getting a kick out of this. I just downloaded Heimdall. I need to reboot and see if this can fix the problem. More to come...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameskever:
I have to download something called qt which is a gig. Sucking internet from my epic at work... not going to happen today.

:(

Note to self: NO MORE FLASHING FOR FRIENDS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settai:
Thats weird... I dont even think Odin is more then 1MB, find it hard to believe that the Mac's alternate is so big. If you can find any windows machine it would be very easy to direct you on how to get her phone back up and running.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameskever:
QT, which seems to be an environment like Java, is nearly a gig, and is necessary to run Heimdall on my mac.

The instructions for Odin says...

Using the image I've attached of Heimdall, which PDA/Code should I load the .md5 file under?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameskever:
Thank you Odin, thank you Samsung USB drivers (which I had to google to find) and thank you mom's PC. I got my friend's phone working, unfortunately all her contacts were on the phone and not synced to google, and I didn't back her up. Whoops. Why would T-mobile transfer numbers from a black berry to an Android phone and not have it sync with google?

Heimdall was a waste of time and memory. I'm sure the developers worked very hard on it, but it totally didn't work for my mac book pro complicating a tense situation.

Problem solved.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Smartenup:
Custom ROM for the Desire Z Bell NAM phone? Please post you opinions if you have used a custom ROM with the Bell Desire Z and have had a good or bad experience. I ask this because the Bell and C2 threads are intertwined for the most part but there has to be subtle and not so subtle differences due to carriers, services, etc.

Most of the customs ROMs are built around T-Mobile G2 platform.........sooo any recomends for the Bell platform specifically? I read a whole bunch but the ROM threads are seriously long, lol, and I may have missed a few things that may be missing for specific providers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bongd:
Use the latest Virtuous ROM and kernel. They run flawlessly on my Desire Z from Bell (on the Rogers network). I use the Sense version for the social phonebook functionality and other functions. The Vanilla version is great if you want stock Android, but you miss the awesome Sense widgets which I believe creates an amazing Android experience.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rickroller:
I'm currently running CM 6.1.1 on a Bell DZ (although i'm unlocked and on Telus) and haven't had any issues. GPS works, WiFi works, haven't tried Bluetooth yet however. Everything runs smoothly and I got a cool new boot animation as well ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] 5thave174:
Yes. I second this. It runs very well "out of the box" and the latest (0.9.0) version the "default" (not "advanced") flavour is comfortably overclocked to ~1GHz when running tasks and underclocked when screen is off so it has great battery life too.

I've been using it as my daily driver. I, too, like the Sense integration of social networks and contacts. This is a really great communications device with this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lsxrx7:
MIUI , no questions
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stargazer418:
I've used Virtuous and it is one of the best I've tried. It doesn't have many new things, since the DZ already has Sense, but it's still a really nice ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
From my experiences, cm 6.1.1, virtuous 0.9.0 and MIUI are all reliable enough to use daily, and dangit! you couldn't ask for 3 more diverse choices.

Give each one a try, set them up how ya like em, do nandroids of each, then restore a different one every couple of days and just settle into one.

I prefer Virtuous because I personally dig Sense...But MIUI with laucher pro is sick and slick. Then again, CM6 has to be the most popular custom ROM out there...for good reason!

I guess you'll just have to try em all!

Oh yeah, I used gingervillain for a day. Think it has a little bit of work before it's a daily rom, but yeah, that'll be great when cm7/gingervillain get all sorted out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Smartenup:
Thanks guys.....will give the Virtuous first try. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
I've used stock, the Euro WWE, CM6, Virtuous 0.8.1, MIUI, and CM7 nightly #11.

My feelings towards them all:

Stock - Overloaded with crap. Slow. Takes forever to boot (excluding the fast boot, ie Sleep mode).

Euro WWE - Same as stock w/o the extra apps

CM6 - I did not like this AT ALL. It also ate my battery. Cool boot video though.

Virtuous 0.8.1 - I liked this one quite a bit but there was an annoying bug with the trackball wake and I was almost never being notified of new emails. I used this on 3 desire z's with the same results. I recommend Virtuous if you are into Sense. It's not too different than stock, though.

MIUI - This one opened my eyes and I really wanted to stick with it, but it had a ton of issues for me. The lockscreen kept disappearing and Wifi would not stay on after reboots. The trackball wake option would not turn off after turning it on the first time. Things like that made me weary of this ROM. I tried an early version and also a later one from the beginning of Jan. I don't see anyone else complaining of those specific issues, though, so it may have just been me.

CM7 nightly #11 - This one is my new favorite by far. I really like gingerbread and this ROM is very lean and mean. Between trying MIUI and CM7 I have ditched Sense completely. It's so much more of a 'cleaner', 'pure' experience without Sense. There's less clutter, things just seem simpler, there's less crap that I don't use (browsing facebook stuff through contact list, etc.) The stock dialer is so much better since the contact list is just on another tab, instead of another app completely, and it has a favorite contacts tab (which also automatically adds frequently called people to the list).

I would definitely recommend trying a non-sense based ROM such as MIUI or CM7. They both have better dialers, contact lists, and SMS apps (the HTC one has bugs). They are both leaner and simpler. HTC menus are packed with way too many options, even just adding items to homescreens is overkill. There are some nice things such as the way you set the time on alarms in Sense, and the HTC hub (some nice ringtone sets in there), but not I don't miss much else. CM7 and MIUI both come with a lot of great rings as well. One of the things I liked most about Sense (the 'people' app) is now one of the things I dislike the most. I miss the Sense camera a lot, I am hoping someone can port that over to non-sense ROMs eventually. However the stock Gallery app is much better than the HTC gallery. Another reason not to use Sense is because certain things such as bluetooth are slightly crippled (can't use Wii-mote), and Samba wifi sharing has issues on sense too. Who knows what else. I found HTC sense syncing also brought my phone to a crawl at least once each day.

Hope that helps you in your journey!
[G2 and Desire Z General] RiTZiE_CDN:
I use a DZ on Bell and I would recommend updating the radio to the latest version as I had constant connection problems with reception for calling/data after using custom roms.

I'm currently using GingerVillian and its working great, very smooth and no lag. No major issues so far and I haven't had any fc's. The only issue so far is that I don't get voicemail notifications (not sure if its the rom or Bell). Also, keep in mind that this rom does not have Sense (I like sense, but I'm willing to use a rom without it so I can try out Gingerbread).

[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Virtuous 0.9.0 works great with me. A lot of issues cleaned up since 0.8 Modified stock kernel is plenty fast and has no bugs. Everything just works. If you want to OC, use the virtuous kernels; I noticed a few bugs with the other.

In my personal opinion MIUI was great, but I found it slower and less consistent than virtuous.

Gingervillain was also really nice.

Last time I used a cm7 nightly, it was obvious that it was still a work in progress...
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmccollough:
Im running gingervillain 1.5 on my NAM and I absolutely love it. Its smooth, no lag, pretty much perfectly stable.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Smartenup:
Currently testing the Virtuous 0.9.0 Sense ROM with the advanced kernel and quite happy with it so far, 3 days now no issues at all. Stable and smooth.

Will back up in a few days and test the MIUI, Cryo and Ginger as well, may as well........:D ;)

Hi,

I'm sure I can find settings to regulate timeouts of programs. Lately I gave PowerAmp a try, very neat music player, but when my screen times out PowerAmp does aswell after 5 - 15 mins. First, the program was in my "force close" list in my task manager. I took it out but it still closes.

Somebody?
[Milestone 2 General] wilzson:
My phone had the same problem,

took me ages to find out what was wrong - all those google searches paid off tho!

just go to:

Settings > Applications > Running Services

and then delete the original Connecting Music player service...

and if that still doesnt work,

deleting the google listen service may do the trick

let me know if it works
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
I haven't had the bug for a while but this is a good clue. Thank you so far, I will update here once I tried it out.
[Milestone 2 General] goldensgui:
Hello,

I'm actually facing the same problem, no matter the player I'm using, the music shut down a few minutes after the screen goes dark.

How do you managed to get rid of the "Connecting music player"??? (called "Lecteur de musique connecté" in my french phone)

I found it in the Settings > Applications > Running Services

but I can't uninstall it (button is disabled).

Please help, thank you
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Hi,

well I have not been playing music with PowerAMP lately. But to get rid, or better freeze the program, I guess Titanium Backup would do the job. Why don't you try it out to freeze the native music player with it.
[Milestone 2 General] goldensgui:
Thank you for your response.

Titanium backup needs my phone to be rooted, so I opened z4root and use the temporary root. A few minutes later, white screen and then it says "temporary root applied. You are now rooted until your next reboot"

I ran Titanium backup which said again that my phone is'nt rooted or that busyBox is'nt installed, but it is.

So, I ran busybox (1.17.1) which says that the phone is'nt rooted too.

So it seems to me that I screwed up with z4root but how?

I don't want to be permanently rooted.

(I will look for an answer on this forum as well)

Thank you
[Milestone 2 General] dymonaz:
I was having trouble with all the music players crashing as well. I rooted, froze (with Titanium Backup) the Connected Music Player (and other motoblur stuff) and I don't think I've had any trouble ever since with my preference - Cubed player.

goldensgui: I saw somewhere else on these forums that temp root doesn't really work for MM2 - but you can unroot your phone anytime - I do have the option to undo the permanent root (not sure if it works [correctly])
