Apologies if this is the wrong area to ask for this but not sure where else to post, kind of a niche product.
Anyway In a failed effort to root my AT&T galaxy tab 8.9 4g LTE I'm now at a point where I can only get to download mode. Recovery and normal boot just give me a black screen. If anyone else picked one up and can get a odin flashable recovery I would owe you huge!
I know its kind of a niche product and I probably wont have much look finding anyone but its worth a shot right
Since you're still in the remorse period I'd just play dumb and exchange it at an AT&T store.

That is my backup plan. I would like to fix this one if possible, it appears to be perfect and having had quality issues in the past would just rather not play the lotto. If I could find out how to to make a odin flashable image myself maybe I could just take my laptop into the att store and use the demo unit.... hrrmmm.. off to google.
I just picked up an 8.9 LTE the other day. I will try and get an Odin dump for you if i can figure this beast out.

there is no image at the moment. sorry man.
I have tried several ways of getting a copy off of it but I have failed for now. I am going to load up a Linux distro on one of my laptops and do a bit of learning. If I can get anywhere with it if will post back here and let you know.

You can also try this. This is labeled as the I957. Please note this is untested and I don't know what will happen.

This is confirmed as working to restore your tablet to factory using Odin 1.85 by Croak from the Request thread so download the factory ROM and use Odin to restore your tab to perfect working order.
Last night Da_G was able to root my 8.9 LTE so I think we can get you back in business if you still need the help?

Not a dumb question at all, and you're right, there isn't much out there...
I WAS gonna' link to the few that were available, but it looks like a TON of development threads have been moved and/or deleted... strange...
This is from my post on UltimateDroid, not sure how useful they are now, though...
Here are the ROM/Kernal links from XDA:

There's a DEV working on a HC port (don't know if it will be carrier specific) and he seems to have the most thorough work so far, but I can't find that freakin' thread either... Server issues must be worse than expected...

Hi folks,
I just traded a Toshiba Thrive for this I957 Galaxy Tab 8.9. I am really pleased with my end of the deal, but didn't look into the development side of things before pulling the trigger. I came on this forum and read about differences in the different flavors, but can't seem to find a definitive thread. I am hoping someone can explain them to me.
Also I have no intention of using the AT&T service, with that being said is there a way to turn off the AT&T Radio? I didn't see it in my quick look through the options.
What are the best ROMS available for the I957 right now. I would prefer ICS, but I am aware that there are camera issues there. I don't require the camera as long as most of the rest of the hardware worked well.
The i957 has root, cwm, and an oc kernel. No roms other than stock right now.
The i957 is a different animal than the international or wifi versions.
The only way I know of to turn off the radio is to use flight mode, or delete the radio and phone files from the system.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using XDA App
Yes no roms yet, but when ics comes out for the galaxy note and the skyrocket we will most likely get a port.

Thank you for the information. Now to get cracking on Root and stuff for this thing
Pulled this from my Nexus 7. Works on my Nexus S running latest Jellybro Kang. Thought I would share as this version lets you use more than just a Citi or prepaid card.
Version R1.5-R75-v6.apk
I'm not on the nexus s, but do you know if this will work without a data connection? I know the n7 doesn't need one but my gnex does. I'm wondering if you need data for this version to work on a phone.

Maybe I should give it a try.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled. No issues here. Also, I believe it does need data as payment info is stored in the cloud instead of the device itself.

Hmmm... I wonder why it works for the nexus 7 but wouldn't work like that for a phone. I tried to use wallet on my phone in a store the other day and in the middle of authentication I lost signal and had to start over. I may test pulling the wallet apk off my n7 and try installing on my phone to see if it works the same. Thanks guys!

How about networks other than Sprint and AT&T?
Does anybody know if this works on T-Mobile or other "blocked" networks?
Currently I am running the version patched by MoDaCo (1.1-R63-v12 See this thread) on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Unfortunately, this revision doesn't implement the new functionality to use cards other than Mastercard.
Does anyone know if the new apk still contains the device and carrier checks? If so then us T-Mobile people will still need a patched version.
yes it does contain the device/carrier checks... though you could always just try... instead of waiting for an answer... you would have known 5 minutes ago...
I just successfully installed it on my rooted T-Mobile Nexus S. Everything seems to be working fine. That Unsupported Device banner at the top is still there though. I haven't gone out to test it at a payment terminal yet.

The unsupported device warning is because your phone is rooted.

I've been trying tutorials and tricks to get Wallet to install, to no avail, for >hour. This worked perfectly. Can't wait to try it with my Visa card now that they're supported.
Just tried it on the aokp kang on my i9020t on T-Mobile and got insecure element. Had to flash my nandroid that had 1.1 r41v8 installed which is really old unfortunately. Would love to get a newer version working...
Thanks for this. Installed fine and got my cards added on Kali's CM10... Now just have to try it out and see if I can still make purchases.

Unfortunately Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile Carrier
Anyone know how to get past this?
Installed on my VZN Nexus with the little banner due to I'm rooted and it seems to work just fine. Let me register, etc. I just have not tried it out at a store yet. We don't have to many places that accept it (or I just don't but a few).
Oh, thanks for the updated .apk Not sure why Verizon is such a [email protected]#$ and not let us use it.

Its fine. It still works fine... they just won't support it if you have an issue. Basically saying they aren't responsible in case something were to happen.

Hi everyone, I'm new for this forum. I never used android devices before, now i wanna try this so i'm gonna buy a galaxy tab 8.9 i957 att from Ebay.
I'm currently using iphone 5 att, so is there any way to switch a simcard from an iphone and put it on galaxy tab and make phone calls, text and receive sms/mms? I plan to buy it online but unable to find anywhere to get a new one, so i tried on ebay and found one with moderate used for 160$, is it a good deal for this one? Before open this topic, i've done a lot of research but my question is still unclear, so anyone can help me out with it?
I've never used an iPhone, but a SIM card is a SIM card and should work in the tab. Not sure on the price I haven't looked at prices.
Edit, make sure the SIM card is the right size

It's a nano sim, slightly smaller than tab simcard, but i will take an adapter from ebay to convert the iphone simcard to fit with the tab, no problem, but my main question is will the tab will be working like the phone instead? Making call, send/receive sms/mms???

Not out of the box. And I've tried to figure out how with no success. And if it can work it would be thru Bluetooth, not the speaker.

ok, i understand. So i'm really want to have a combination device between tablet and cellphone, i sometimes use to make a phone call but not much, so do you have any recommendation? I'm quite impressed of samsung devices but it could be any brand, i don't mind.

Okay guys . After a day of messing around with this Google Edition I finally got fully working data . I was wondering if anyone could tell me the direction to get the roaming indicator off . I'm up loading it to dropbox right not and its taking forever . So if you have suggestions for a different file sharing please let me know.
Did you port this from Verizon's port or the International?
I booted up the Verizon port and have working LTE right out of the gate. Good job on messing around with it. I just wish we had the 4.3 version... Beggars can't be choosers though.

I would love to use the Google version if everything checked out ok. I am not one to tinker with it. But the idea of no bloatware has me almost there... So if anyone figures out how to get it work with no issues that would be great. Where I live we only get 3g so anything above that wont matter to me. Good work btw to you guys who figure this stuff out. Many Thanks :laugh::good:

I downloaded an app called "Lte on off" on that app I change the preferred network mode to Cdma/lte auto prl. If at firat it doesn't work try switching it to another and then back to that. It takes a minuter to kick in. I also had mobile data disabled while I did it and then enabled it, don't know if that made a difference.
