[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdog0500:
Thanks! I think I found another route, but your solution looked good.

I used Odin and put the cwm-recovery-ALL.tar on after having put CWMrecovery.tar (the older version) and it started into red. I applied the update.zip and installed cwm-recovery-ALL.zip and then am now in the process of restoring my backup. Whew! That was close.

*EDIT*

So, that didn't actually work. When I tried to restore with RED Clockwork it froze during the restore. It specifically froze on restoring the "tegra_flash_image". I even tried using the DL09_stock.zip and that didn't work either. I used the method you recommended and it worked very well. In fact If I need to go back to stock this method seemed the fastest and most straightforward. Thanks again.

For those who read this later. I then installed my ROM choice, which is non voodoo Superclean v2.6 after doing everything listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977493 and it was much cleaner than what I had originally.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
I can't seem to find a good post or thread about this so I'll be the one to ask the dumbest question.

Can a GSM rom be flashed to a CDMA tab? Other than networking issue with the modem, will phone actually boot and be usable on wifi? I'm assuming it most likely will either not work at all or just FC constantly but wanted to ask first.

MODS please delete after a few answers. I don't want to waste thread space... :)

Anybody has flashed this before ? And i don't know can Verizon tab be able to flash rom for Sprint Tab ?

Waiting for anwser too :D .

Sent from my SCH-I800
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oc3rulz:
One of the other members did and it worked, I am not sure what was FC'ing but he was using it that way. A word of WARNING, if you accidentally flash the modem with the GSM one, its dead forever! You cannot restore it!!

But yeah it should boot, and be able to use WiFi.

Verizon and Sprint use the same radio's so this should not be an issue
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
OK second question. Where on earth can I find the VZW firmware files to use with Odin or Heimdall? I flashed the Klean ROM and like it but then I realized I was having problems finding the stock pit and pda files to revert back to stock if needed!

I would love if I could use GSM ROM's. I bought a Verizon TAB (mistake now that I realized this) and just use it for WIFI only so network access is not an issue for me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhttan:
Is that file you need ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Downloading now but I'm pretty sure thats it! You are awesome. And I'm a lazy searcher.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdmira1:
try this... its the vzw recovery package i use... unrar and bring it into hiemdall... try using the voodoo overclocked kernal with it... great improvements, blazing fast, and the sound is unmatched... im not sure why, and i could very well be doing it wrong... but when i flash the zImage for the kernal, i always have to flash that zImage into the recovery as well... like i said idk why but 90% of the time my flash will fail unless i do that... so if you have any problems try it... hope this helps!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdmira1:
probably the same files... beat me to it haha
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arariel:
I'd actually really like to know this as well... I've got a VZW tab I was given from a friend who updated to a Xoom... I'm only ever gonna use it wifi, and am a bit disappointed in the lack of roms for CDMA tabs... if a GSM Rom would work, and let me use wifi, that would be great for folks like me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhttan:
How can I avoid to flash the modem with the GSM one ? I usally use heimdall-frontend.exe to flash !
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdmira1:
I could be wrong, but if you go through frontend dont you have to manually palce the moden file into the slot for modem? couldnt you just flash everything but modem? or is it in the kernal as well??

Soft

Brick.

You could always contribute instead of just ***** about the lack of support. You got a free Tab for pete's sake....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arariel:
Wow, ok... I just got the damn thing, let me, you know, learn how to code and program etc... got a while?

Yeah, I got a free tab, and I know next to nothing about it, so I'm trying to find out some information. I dunno that I would call expressing mild disappointment really classifies as "*****ing" but, hey, thanks for YOUR contribution to the thread too, guy. Super helpful. I understand the VZW tab isn't nearly as popular, and that means less people working on it, or maybe there are technical difficulties or something. I have no idea. I just know there is less information, etc. out there about it, and that's disappointing. Nowhere did I say anything like "people here suck for not supporting my device!" The ROM makers here are a talented bunch, that much is obvious... I really like what they're doing, and I'm guessing so does the OP. That's why we're asking about GSM roms... we obviously liked something someone made, and wish we could use it on our device. We're trying to find information, and you come and attack someone with the equivalent of an ER nurse getting mad at a Vet for coming in with a question about their daughter, and demanding that they help treat her themselves.

If I had ANYTHING even CLOSE to as helpful as some of the people here to contribute right now, I would... but I don't... I'm just trying to learn about this device. At my level of knowledge right now, I don't HAVE anything to give. So very sorry if that somehow offends you personally.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
That was ugly!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Hmm. I wonder what my PM reply from you will have to say in it lol. Anyhow, is a soft brick inevitable? Are there options I can avoid such as obviously not flashing the modem? Or param.lfs? To prevent a soft brick. One person claims it worked on a certain ROM from them. I know I can find out the hard way myself but if I can benefit from someone else's experience I'd like to see if I can do that first.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewflinchbaugh:
Think about it guys you've got devs, and then you have those of us who are just using what the devs design, be it lack of knowledge or lack of effort, either way if you have a free tab, make a backup, make a couple backups, and try it, or maybe get with a dev working on your tab to add the features of the gsm tab to our vzw tab. help them test it, It makes sense that devs get pissed when someone says i got a free tab, do some research, make some effort to further the development for a device in which the devs purchase in most cases with they're own money, and if they brick it in the process they are out alot more money then you are. and the way they save them selves is by again treading on undiscovered territory. So instead of asking make some attempt. learn to use the emulator, learn your device, if you are just getting to know the device then it may not be a good idea to jump right into rooting, and flashing roms....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Good post. Hope you weren't referring to me though! Check my sig I've been around the block with Android.

Oh and I'm running Overcome ROM right now on my VZW TAB. I'll be posting a video of the steps to take to ensure this works correctly some time this weekend.

Looks like my VZW may work out afterall... :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinsoku3g:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mnemoch:
How did you do it?

Hey man, watched your video review great stuff, any update date on how you got the rom on your CDMA Tab however? I just got a Sprint Tab and would love to flash Overcome on it...thanks for any advice
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mfloresg:
hey connexion2005, any update on the video? i´ve been surfing around the forums for a couple of hours now and haven´t found any procedures on how to get overcome on the VZW tab. just wondering :)

GSM ROM on CDMA

Hi guys - I am also waiting for the details or at least if not a video some information to point us in the right direction would be nice.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webrover83:
Also looking for some details around making GSM run on CDMA Tabs.

What I don't need is a step-by-step video, power point, flash demo or Heimdall for Idiots guide. I might be willing contribute one of those back if I have a solid process....

What I would like is: Use this Kernel, this ROM and possibly these updates. CWM or Heimdall files, Clear caches/factory resets, etc.

I've boot looped and soft bricked my VZW Tab several times over the last 2 weeks... Feeling pretty good about testing a GSM Mode.

What I really want is to be able to use my MS 6000 bt Keyboard on my VZW Tab. GSM ROM is the best option I've seen so far. If I knew then, what I know now, I'd've bought a T-Mobile Tab and been happy. I can wifi tether to my d2 phone if I really need it... otherwise I'm wifi 99% of the time.

Many Thanks to all the devs who are making things work the way they ought. ;-)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webrover83:
Bump. Anyone know how to do this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Sorry I'll be making the video for this very soon. It's really not hard at all just precise steps involved. Currently the only things that don't play nice are obviously 3G data, bootanimation.zip and external sd support is buggy. All this could be fixed if a DEV could compile a kernel (maybe not the 3G data part).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mnemoch:
Great to hear, thanks for the update...(SD cards don't work then? That's a bit of a killer!)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webrover83:
Re-bump. anyone? :confused:

I just want to Overcome(1.4.5) the short comings of my VZW Tab. ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdocthc:
Curious if any progress has been made on this?

Sent from my MikGinger EVO on the 3g network from Sprint because they haven't seen it fit to expand 4g to Phoenix (yet).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasimo0:
Also curious if any progress has been made on this. I was able to flash Overcome on my VZW Tab a while back, but had the internal/external storage problems. Only 200MB of internal storage viewable and won't read the MicroSD. Wifi worked, but lack of storage is a deal-breaker for anyone.

Has anyone overcome (get it?) the storage problems in their attempts to flash a GSM ROM? Any tips would be appreciated.

[G Tablet General] employee:
I am running the "gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final" ROM.

Was able to sign up for Google Voice, setup phones for a landline number and Google chat.

From my desktop PC, I am able to login to Google Voice and use it to make and receive calls.

But when I try to setup Google Voice on the G Tab, it seems to get stuck on the "Set up voicemail" screen

"We have a problem"

"Your voicemail settings could not be loaded. Please try again."

If I hit "OK" then "Next", it goes back to "We have a problem".

If I hit "Skip" then it is stuck in this "Set up voicemail" screen with the "Back" and "Next" buttons grayed out.

I have read several posts similar to this problem.

What I don't understand is why does it think that this G Tab is a phone?

What should I do?
[G Tablet General] ninjaprofessor:
I am having the same issue. Google Voice had been working before but I recently had to wipe user data and now when I go through the setup it gets stuck exactly as you described. Has anyone found a solution. btw I am running tnt lite 4.2.5
[G Tablet General] :
Hope this helps or Hope I'm right

I could be completely wrong, but I had the same problem, my conclusion is that google voice is trying to identify your number through voicemail BUT...it can't because there's no sim card. I don't know I might be wrong. Hopefully someone else can come in and correct me or confirm the info. Good luck. :)
[G Tablet General] employee:
I downloaded the googlevoice apk file from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959310

Installed this apk file.

Rebooted the G Tab.

Started over the Google Voice settings.

This time I moved beyond the "Set up voicemail" screen.

Finished the Google Voice setup completely.

When I try to use Google Voice using my Landline as the forwarded phone, it works.

But when using Google chat as the forwarded phone:

When I try to use Google Voice to make an outbound call, Google Voice says that it is calling me but I do not see any inbound calls on the G Tab.

When I call my Google Voice number from any landline phone, on the landline phone I can hear the ringing but I do not see any inbound calls on the G Tab.

What am I missing?

I just want to make and receive calls in Google Voice from the G Tab.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Trust me,

Google voice still works for text and calls. Once you sign in just hi the home button. You can then select a contact to text or call. It infuriated me to no end untilled I figured this out. Now I call my best friend in Hawaii for free.
[G Tablet General] jpfulton248:
I was messing with Google Voice just last night. I found a post that suggested getting to the voicemail page and then just backing all the way out of GV again. I did that then went to test by sending my very first SMS from my gtab (i think I went to the 'phone' app then found the contact I wanted then long pressed or something then saw a little message button, clicked it and it took me to a place to type a text... and based on the tiny icon on the top I believe I was actually in Google Voice). Oh and the sms went through. As far as calling goes I didn't test it but I'm pretty confident that if I just go to the phone app and dial a number it will work. If I had my gtab with me I'd put my money where my mouth it right now.

I'll check on this thread when I get home later and let you know if I have better details or new info.

Good luck!
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
I had the same problem but resolved it by downloading the latest Google Voice from the market. Went through the setup again and when it failed the first time I found the "Skip" button had been moved and worked flawlessly.
[G Tablet General] employee:
According to Google Voice -> Settings -> About ->

I am running Build number 0.4.2.13

Is this the latest?
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
That's the build I have and is the current build in the market (as far as I can see...).
[G Tablet General] employee:
It is not just the Google Voice app on the G Tab.

When I open the web browser.

I log in to the Google Voice web page

https://www.google.com/voice

I click the Call button.

In the Number to call field, I enter a friend's landline number.

In the Phone to call with, I select Google Talk.

When I hit connect, it says "calling you ..."

But there is no ringing on the G Tab?

So what exactly is it calling?

I powered off the G Tab.

Use the same Google id on my desktop to access the Google Voice web page.

Made the same outbound call, it works.
[G Tablet General] employee:
I have been searching the market for "Google Voice" but I don't see any such app in the market.

Is "Google Voice" the correct term to search for?
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Yes, that is correct. If it isn't there then you probably need to perform one or more of the market fix procedures first.

Last I heard, Google Talk for Android did not yet support voice/video calls. You should still be able to have it set up a call to your landline or cell.
[G Tablet General] employee:
Ok, I got the Market fix done.

I don't quite understand the difference between ...

... and this ...

How? Could you please elaborate?
[G Tablet General] trojanhacker:
I had the similar problem. I finished the install the file you provided. Voice mail set up was done. But, when I go back to the home screen, click on the phone button on the right side of the screen (one of the three button) and dialed a number. It says call setup failed. I am not sure why that happened. Does anyone know? I just want to be able to make calls, no need to receive calls. Thanks
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Google Talk for Android (the app on the G Tablet) is not the same as the Windows app or the browser plugin for desktop machines. It doesn't support voice or video calls so when you select it to be used from Google Voice it won't work. To make and/or receive calls from GV on your tablet you must use a VOIP product and set it up in GV as you would any other phone. There are threads on this forum that discuss how to do that.

You can still initiate calls from your mobile or landline by setting them up in GV then selecting the appropriate one in the "phone to call with" menu from the web page.

Interestingly... you can also log into Google Talk (or gmail with the GT plugin) from your desktop and use your G Tablet to initiate a call using that instance of Google Talk.

[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
This works on all ROMs for Tatto, Now the problem is that this do not create /dev/radio0 that is how the FM app works. We need to manage to make it run with the muiu FM app
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
I don't think we should port the miui FM app for Tattoo 'cause the kernel is very different from the one miui supports. Any one familiar with java could write a simple apk for us. One of the most important thing is to understand the hcitool commands used by mike. That will help to develop a new FM app.

Btw, do you have any docs about those TI compatible hcitool commands?
[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
You are right about kernel. I think we can try to work in 2 steps:

- Fast app. As you say create an app tu run this commands ( I will look also for the description of those commands ) Anyone that can help us to find them will be wellcomed.

- Create a fake driver at /sed/radio0 to run this commands ( that will be more difficult of course, but will make our device more compatible for future apps )

What do you think?
[Click Android Development] diego72:
I like the comman line interface, it's so nerd-friendly :D
[Click Android Development] wolfsstolz:
:S How i say it in English ....

can i say this script that it start FM tool when its activate !?

start Script --> Script activate Radio Driver and Fake driver to work * --> FM Tool start and work with driver

* driver can work with one tool only so script activate 2 drivers and work with fake driver

i hope you understand what i mean

my english is not so good XD
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Yes, I totally agree with your first point. And It's better to be compatible with other devices. However, more codes will lead to more maintainance. I prefer to invite somebody to write a specified simple but handy app for us. If we wanna create a fake /dev/radio0 to port the miui FM app, as you know, the AOSP framework must be applied with that BIG patch. As a AOSP lover, I'm not willing to see it happens. :P

Mike is also working on a simple app with appinventor released by google. But the site was blocked by my ISP(evil China gov), so I even can't have a chance to learn how to create an android app quickly. :mad:

[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
read the script posted by fyodor

# FM_WRITE: VOLUME_SET: 0x5000 = 20,840, or around 30% of maximum

hcitool cmd 0x3f 0x135 0x1c 0x02 0x00 0x10 0x00

0x01 0x00 -> controls the volume
[Click Android Development] havok123:
ive managed to get a very messy ui up and running, i spent ages trying to enable the radio without using a separate terminal.

its all completely gui

my progress:

gui input in the form: say 105.7 or 98.7 mhz

button to turn radio on, button to turn radio off

I need to see how it links in with Bluetooth etc, so that will be my next task. Its still very heavy and messy code. hopefully i can get it online tomorrow and you guys can see if its any use to you at all.

so actually pretty functional,

to do:

automatic install of scripts + permissions

make gui readable to people who aren't me

tidy code

upload to see if its any use
