[Q] step on flashing firmware - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

some help please?
mine is DXJJ1
i'm from indonesia, and still new to android
looking at samfirmware, DXJJ1 is not even listed on asia
the earliest is already JJ2
the problem is i'm experiencing some laggyness
not that many app though
around 4 page only
i just wondering what "buttery smooth and silky smooth" everyone talking about, and i want it in my tab
already downloading ZHJK1, the latest one, but seeing ppl talking bout JJ4 full flash and JK1 not, that they should upgrade to JJ4 1st etc
can anyone taught me how should i flash it 1st?
i already got the tutorial for flashing, i just need to know if i coulg go directly to JK1 or i need to do some step 1st before flashing to JK1
thanks a lot

you'd better flash jj4 first as the repartitioning will make it perfect to the pda-only jk1 version, as meanwhile you're not sure the stock version use which partition schema

Looks like we are all in it togeather.
The European firmwares are far in advance of ours.

Thanks for that!
I think you should post this in a new thread. The DX region ROMs cover southeast Asia, and a lot of us would be interested. The pda may be older but the radio rom and csc are interesting.
Thanks Hardcore. Your comment is much appreciated. Can you please enlighten me on the things that make this ROM interesting?
To give you a little backgrounder Sir, I got hold of this ROM from my provider about 6 weeks ago just after Samsung failed to meet their September Froyo commitment. I was kinda adamant in making a thread on this ROM because I wasn't sure how the community will react to it given that it's a leaked ROM and there were already a number of ROM releases that were being modded and/or enhanced, even some that has higher build numbers like JP3 or JP6.
Let me assure you that I installed this ROM and found it to be very stable and fast and obviously, I pretty much wanted to root it and performed a lagfix (to make it faster and just to see the Quadrant numbers for the heck of it). But, since I'm not a software engineer / developer, there was obviously a lack of knowhow on my part to implement said operations.
During the course of this time, I made a number of PM's to several members asking their help on how to root it, but, their replies and suggestions to root this ROM pointed me to either JP6's or JPA rooting instructions, which using my common sense weren't applicable to the DXJP2 (if my conclusion is correct). I also fervently monitored the activity on this forum (which I haven't done for a number of years) hoping that finally there was someone who's able to get this ROM build besides me and who already found a way to a root solution, but up to now, there's not a single thread on this.
I hope that a good member of the community would stumble upon this thread and help us in rooting this build. In the meantime, until the root for this happens, I hope we can keep this in thread or until an official DXXX build comes out.
What do think my friend?

I'm using Doc's JPO 7.6.2 ROM as of the moment with an upgrade package that I edited using 7Zip, Stock AOSP lockscreen with extended power menu and battery mod. Oh, and I'm using the Hardcore's V2.2 - 200Mhz kernel.
I read somewhere in the XDA that there will be Froyo updates officialy available from 11th November and later on, like a couple of days after... Yet nothing for us JG4s... I have a DXJG4 with no good news...
Can someone confirm whether we will have this new update anytime soon?
If samsung is gonna hold longer than this then I'll deal with Froyo myself.
official Froyo update for JG4 was released yesterday November 19. Philippines

That's the way to do it, forget waiting on Optus etc to release anything.
I don't see what they shall bring to the table, Optus apps woopie do already got them & APN info etc from backups.
Only interest I have is to see what radio they use, however JPP is working well here so far.
Honestly, Optus doesn't have the man power anymore to go performing miracles like they did prior to Singtel taking over. The Optus geek pit on the 21st floor in North Sydney is RIP. I'd hate to see whom is in charge of doing the firmware releases these days. Guaranteed it's a clueless monkey or it is contracted out to another mob to save $ for Singtel
I'm from singapore, and i haven't get Froyo yet. ):
DXJG4.
Check your Kies, singapore's JPA is out
How about Malaysia? Froyo out yet?
Also can someone running stock dx post their CSC, modem and PDA codes so I can flash mine back and do the official kies update?

[Q] I9000XXJP0 phone needs I9000XXJP0 firmware?

I have a UK T-Mobile unlocked unbranded Galaxy S (Froyo) which reports the following details:
PDA: I90000XXJPO
PHONE/MODEM: I90000XXJPP
CSC: I90000OXAJPO (KOR)
Does this mean that I need to find/use a "I9000XXJP0 version" gingerbread ROM file in order to flash gingerbread? Or could I flash some other Europe version e.g. I9000XWJVB gingerbread ROM?
I was surprised that this question is not covered in the various gingerbread flashing threads that I have read. No doubt I have missed something that will be staring me in the face once someone points it out..
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.
If you don't want to wait for the official update for your phone you can absolutely flash any of the gingerbread roms on this website. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully.
Btw, the gingerbread rom for your phone won't be JP0, that is a froyo rom. They change with every update.

You can flash any firmware buddy no problems, it doesn't have to be country specific. However flashing a country specific modem will most likely have an effect on signal, call.quality etc. Check out doc's thread as I think there is a good guide there.

Thanks guys. Erm so, if you were me, what do you think my best bet is? I'm thinking of flashing what I have found as being the latest offical build of 2.3.3 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Modem on that is XX same as my current firmware. Do I need to care about the CSC or anything else? (FYI I've updated my original post above to give the full CSC)
Cook up a rom in doc's kitchen. You can have a very good stock rom or a really good custom one.

Wow, romkitchen.org looks very interesting. However, it says "Install from a 2.3 ROM" so I guess I would need to upgrade to 2.3 before being able to use it, which is a bit strange as upgrading to 2.3 is all I'm trying to do anyway. And it says it beta, so I think I'm better of using the ROM in my post above?
Yes, you have to flash a stock 2.3 rom first to get the bootloader update. They are all beta version of gingerbread. Even the ones that got pushed out recently aren't as stable as the 2.2.1 roms.
When I go to 2.3 it will be from the kitchen for sure.

OK. Well, this story has a happy ending. I've upgraded to 2.3.3 (XEE version) using a guide that someone in the romkitchen irc channel linked me to.

As it says in the guide, all I needed to do afterwards was reselect my provider via the APN settings (easy peasy, just selected "T Mobile" from a short list of UK providers).
Cheers for this post to all who replied - just got a Galaxy S too and wasn't sure if there were any caveats about flashing to a ROM with a different ID than your current one aside from normal GSM radio band for picking america vs rest of world etc.

[Q+A]Definitive Guide to GT P1010

So after following all of the forums with any info on this model of tab i noticed a lot of people asking the same questions, seeing as i have been tinkering and following devs progress I thought Id consolidate as much of the Q+A sprawled across the forums into one noob friendly place. So here goes.
What do we know?
Currently the only official roms are worldwide froyo 2.2.2 and EU gingerbread 2.3.6. The GB rom isnt out over the air everywhere yet so if your kies hasnt got the update and your feeling confident then you can pick up a copy from droidangel.blogspot http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-tab-wifi-p1010-original.html
With detailed instructions here http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-flash-upgradeupdate-samsung.html Read, reread and READ AGAIN. It isn't difficult to do as long as you follow the instructions carefully.
Noteworthy info on flashing:
7zip should be used to unrar the downloaded roms as there are issues with other archive managers, the password is samfirmware.com
If you have connection problems with Odin its most likely driver issues its best to uninstall all kies software and drivers, reboot, install latest kies and connect your device, wait for drivers to install and then reboot again,
If you decide you don't like the rom you can flash stock firmware over it to downgrade and continue to get kies updates.
Is it worth doing?
I have been using 2.3.6 now for a few days and have no issues with light to moderate use, I have noticed a better looking interface(just small cosmetic differences) much faster browsing, and my quadrant went from 750 to 1400, If you have had a different experience please post. This update unfortunately doesn't fix the video out problem or the issue with skype using the front facing camera. In my opinion it isn't an update to write home about but it is worth doing.
Can I install it on a different region of tab?
There have been a few people who have successfully installed this rom on tabs from different regions so it is possible, If you have managed to do this please post your region and method As for trying to flash cross region, ask here and ill do my best to help.
As far as I know there are issues with installing on the Korean version due to hardware differences, more on that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376440
Can gingerbread for the P1010 be rooted?
Personally I have tried Z4Root, Zergrush and SuperOneClick all of which cant get root yet, Skin1980 is however working on a cf-root kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386643 which will allow clockworkmod recovery, superuser(root) and busybox, Please note that at the current time if you flash skins cf-root you will have to reflash the entire firmware if you wish to rollback, This will do no harm as long as you read the forums and have an understanding of what your doing.
This is all the useful info I have managed to find so far, hopefully it can help anyone attempting to flash this long awaited upgrade,
A BIG THANKS to all the devs working on this device!! It is much appreciated.
WARNING: Failure to read and understand the instruction can lead to your device being irreversibly damaged, The different galaxy tab firmware comes in different versions according to Country, Region and Carrier providers. It is possible to brick your phone if you flash it with the wrong firmware which doesn't match your device.

GLHF GIEF THANKS!!

Is it 2.3.6 or 2.3.3?
samfirmware says 2.3.3
Both the samfirmware and kies are 2.3.6 when installed, it must be a typo on sammobile.

[Q] GT-p1000 novice - how to uninstall overcome and re-install to factory

Hi All
I have a UK GT-P1000 3G. Never really used it as I just didnt really get on with android (sorry), and I am selling it on, so therefore wiping it and updating it before selling.
However, I bought it used, and I have discovered that it has third party software - overcome- on it - which I would like to remove and install at the very least the factory supplied software, and preferably the latest available official UK software on.
Current details shown are:
Firmware version
2.2
baseband version
P1000XXJK5
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #171
Build number
Overcome v1.4.4
For a TOTAL alien to anything android, could some kind soul please help me out with links and steps to get rid of this and install the latest official uk software on please (ice cream pickle gingerbread sandwich or whatever it is).
I have absolutely no knowledge of anything android, so I need this as quickly and easily as possible please. Googling this stuff gives so many different types of android stuff and variations I really wouldn't know where to start.
Thanks in advance!
There is a link on my signature.
It is overcome method,
But if follow the first part only, it will put you back to stock donation, but an Italian jq1 Gingerbread ROM
Just download the PDF guide, and gb-stock-safe-v5 package.
Jump to page 7 and flash and done.
But you seems pretty inexperience, why take the risk?
Just perform the "factory reset" from the tab, and sell it advertise it as having Overcome custom ROM.
plenty of people will appreciate it.
(But make sure to mention it is Overcome v1.4, which is quite old)

No Official OTA Updates past 2.3.6. For my N-7000UBKK2?

Anyone else never receive an ota update on there international past 2.3.6? I bought my note from ebay and it is south america model. Version 7000UBKK2. Tried kies and ota no luck. Why is this and who determines the update for different regions. Im using on AT&T network. What the hell?? Please explain.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
have you got through that soft brick situation?
actually there is a new Leak JB on sammobile for South American N7000. check this tread
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/12/13...-note-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/
there are many reason why you are not getting an update. if there firmware doesnot match the update criteria like PDA/PHONE/CSC. but its always better to update manually using Odin
As nokiamodeln91 said - grab the JB firmware from sammobile and flash it - you'll get latest firmware, and fresh install is always better than OTA upgrade. Should you need any help with flashing, just ask
You most likely won't receive OTA update because UBKK2 seems to be a country specific firmware and they're sometimes poorly maintained. Best to flash international JB rom.
Just getting ready to start on it. Think I have a fix but well have to see what happens. As for the update I had been on the same gb rom since i got the phone like 6 months ago and just finally realised that it probably wasnt going to come. So as you see I bricked my first phone. Have been lucky with the atrix and 717 and even a previous model 7000 but i should have done more research before flashing. Will update the thread whichever way it goes. How is the battery life on these new JB roms? Ive heard alot of people complain about decreased battery life after updating to ICS and so I was skeptical about updating. Im open to suggestions as I have limited time to read up now working alot of hours on nights.
I think it's best to just root it and install cwm ( 1 step method by dr. Ketan ) and flash CM10.1 - you won't believe how fast and smooth Note can be.
Another option would be to get odin, download firmware from sammobile ( nokiamodel provided the link ) and flash it - single step procedure.
True, ICS had worse battery life, but it seems that JB fixed that, at least on AOSP based roms. If you need help with flashing procedure, let me know.
