ALRIGHT EVERYONE! IM WRITING IN CAPS SO THAT MEANS THIS IS IMPORTANT!
DUE TO SOME PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE WERE HAVING (SPECIFICALLY THOSE WHO ARE FLASHING FROM A NON-STOCK TAB) I HAVE DECIDED TO PULL THE LINKS UNTIL WE GET A FOOL PROOF WAY OF FLASHING. THANKFULLY, ROTOHAMMER IS ALREADY WORKING ON THAT FOR US. I WILL UPDATE THIS ASAP.
REMEMBER FOLKS! DO NOT FLASH ANY FIRMWARES FROM SAMFIRMWARE.COM. FIRMWARES SUCH AS JMA, JMC, JMD ARE TO BE AVOIDED!! THIS COULD LEAD TO A BRICKED TAB.
UPDATE:
I recommend everyone use Roto's files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
You can use this tutorial to show you how to flash files in general, I wont rewrite this whole thing though. If your flashing his files you dont have to download any of mine. If you have questions about his JME firmware then post it THERE. If you used my tutorial (which should work on all Tmobile & ATT tabs) then you can get help here too.
If you are on a bone stock T-Mobile tab and would like to the files to flash then PM me.
Thanks to RotoHammer & everyone else who participated in getting this to work. Here is my video. I hope it helps.

Okay guys here is the much asked video about how to flash the euro firmware on your tab. This is only for ATT & T-Mobile. PLEASE DONT DO THIS ON THE VERIZON OR SPRINT BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE. Please watch this video because the written portion will just be brief; I tried to make this as simple as possible. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR TAB BREAKS: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1) Download all the files you need from here:
http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/in...flashing-euro-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-tab/
2) Turn off the Tab
3) Put the tab in download mode by holding the power button + volume down rocker simultaneously
4) Connect the tab to your WINDOWS machine. Sorry Macs!
5) Install the drivers; they are provided in the folder. If your on windows 7 the drivers will install themselves.
6) Launch the odin.exe (if you get an error about some missing .dll file then you need to install the Microsoft .Net framework from here):
http://www.microsoft...31-508d977d32a6
7) Make sure there the yellow box says Com:#. the # will be different for everyone. As long as its yellow you are good!
8) Select the pit file from the folder provided
9) Select PDA and the file from the FIRST folder
10) Make sure re-partition is selected as well as the other two options
11) Flash your device; this will take about 3 minutes and you will get a green PASS
12) If your tab didnt reboot then manually reboot it
13) Your tab should be stuck at a blackscreen at this point, THIS IS NORMAL!
14) Go back into download mode (power button + down volume rocker)
15) Close Odin and open it back up
16) Make sure the yellow box is highlighted again and your tab is connected
17) Flash the file from the SECOND folder; using PDA option
18) MAKE SURE REPARTION IS NOT CHECKED
19) The flashing will take about 3 minutes
20) The system SHOULD reboot, if not, just hold the power button for 10 seconds
21) The tab will start up and you should be at the setup screen
IF YOUR TAB GETS STUCK AT THE SAMSUNG LOGO:
1) DONT PANIC!
2) Turn off the tab by pressing the power button for 10 seconds
3) Go into recovery mode (power button + UP volume rocker)
4) Let it boot
5) Select Wipe/Data Factory Reset
6) Press home button to select and keep hitting it till it wipes
7) Reboot and Enjoy!

You cant....not yet.
Thanks to RotoHammer for his prerooted firmwares
Edit 12/26/10:
Alright guys there has been some talk about using firmwares (from samfirmware) that are leading to bricked tabs. You can get the nitty gritty details here but in summary...STAY AWAY FROM FIRMWARES NOT PREPARED BY TRUSTED XDA MEMBERS. I will only be posting updates that have been prepared by rotohammer. I'm happy to report that my packaged setup has gotten the rotohammer seal of approval and its 100% safe

Very nice. T-mo Tab here. Worked for me, easy to perform. There sure are some niceties in the Euro ROM vs stock T-mo U.S ROM.
this rom it will work to any other GSM Tabs? I have JMC rom (european version) and is not branded from any carrier! thanks in advance!
Yes this will work with your euro tab as well.

I guess i should have been more clear. If your on a euro tab and ur on JMC already and want to go to JMD you should just select the PDA option and the ROM and it should update. You might have to do a factory wip though.

Thanks!! Awesome video, at last i understand what i'm about to do!!
A few questions:
1. I see that there is also a Roto-JMC (or even a JMD) firmware. Can it be used instead of Roto-JMA you suggested in your video (as "flash second" step)?
2. Will this update (to JMA or JMC/D) cause 3G to stop working? I think i saw posts that mentioned it on other threads.
3. I saw on other threads that sometimes screen buttons stay on after the firmware update. Will it happen after this update?
Thanks A LOT!!!

1) Yes you can flash JMC instead of JMA. It can be done right after flashing JHA; ive never had an issue.
2) When flashing a euro firmware you will get the euro modem. Roto's JMA update doesnt include this modem so you are left with the modem you had previously. However, i think that JHA has a euro modem so even if you flashed Rotos JMA you will still be stuck with the euro modem which only gives EDGE and not 3G. Heres the thing, if you use the euro firmware you can get edge + phone working. If you use stock 3G modem, you will get 3G but no phone. Most people flash the firmware to get phone so 3G is a minor loss compared to the gain.
3) I have never heard of such problems nor do i ever notice anything odd. Could be true but it obviously doesnt bug me lol.
hope this helps!
Thanks ayman07!!
Regarding #2:
Although I have a T-Mobile Tab which i bought in US, I'm using it outside of US. So my question is: is lack of 3G happens because of compatibility issue of euro firmware with US T-Mobile bands or the modem just lacks 3G support?
Also, i see that there is a Roto modem switcher. Can i flush everything as described and if 3G won't work, switch the modem back to T-Mobile? This way i'll get newest firmware and 3G (i don't care about voice so much, i just want the performance improvements of new releases, etc ...)
Thanks again for help!!

The real reason is just that the modem file doesnt support the bands. like the euro modems dont have support for 1700. therefore, no 3G.
yes you can just use the modem switcher until we get this whole 3G situation worked out. thats a great alternative.
ur welcome
Thanks for great help! Going to do it as soon as JHA will be downloaded.

ur signature says ur already on JMC right? so why are u starting from scratch?
anyway, are u using the JHA.tar when ur doing the repartitioning? did you follow all the steps? if you flash the kernel you will be fine. i recommend u use heimdall for that though. if u WERE on JMC then you just need to extract the JMC.tar and pull out the zImage. then use heimdall to flash it under the kernel option. im not sure if you can flash a zImage from odin using the phone option.
edit:
I think I may have the solution. Are you trying to flash JMD? if so, do this.
Flash the kernel like i mentioned up top. then once its booting again, go back into download mode and select PDA and just flash the JMD.tar that you downloaded. I dont think you need to repartition since ur on a euro tab. sorry about that. i forgot you guys are partitioned. i edited my comment earlier. let me know if that works.

Great work Ayman. Your video walkthrough I believe has convinced me to go ahead and flash the firmware on my T-Mobile branded Tab. I have read for hours on end at xda and was still quite confused up until now. I'm not one of the smarter ones. :-D
My reason for wanting to flash is to rid my Tab of the lag, especially for browsing since that is my Tab's main purpose. Do you think I should proceed with flashing or is it just not worth it? I don't really care for the phone function or 3G. I only use Wi-Fi on the Tab.
Thanks!

yes absolutely! i keep forgetting how amazing the browser is and how much the stock browser sucked! yes you should flash it. i recommend getting the JMC firmware. if you want my opinion, stay away from JMD cuz it truly is a step down from JMC. JMC is fast and JMD is just laggy and blah! stay away from it. let me know how it goes

ill take a look and see if i can help....no promises
OK so i've had my tab for about two weeks and i can't get a clear answer as to what my options are for flashing my device. I see many JMC and JJ6 and I'm really lost. I know there are many models of this tab but i want to know for the American tmobile tab specifically.
the firmware i have says JJB...What are my options as far as to flashing to a new firmware?
Is there an official upgrade?
I will only use it for data and not voice calls, so i want to have 3G. I would like a fix to the lag in the calendar and browser.
Can any of the firmwares help me?
I also installed Kies with drivers and it doesn't see my tab? Do i have to be in download mode for Kies to see my tab?
Thank you very much for your time.
Same boat as you. awaiting some guidance as well.
Same thing here. Kies doesn't recognize my tab and I'm on JJB. Changing your IMEI works though, allowing for 3G and bypassing the T-Mobile redirect. I'm on the old school 5.99 T-zones plan and getting unlimited 3g .
same here there is very little guidance and very helpful people but I can't seem to just get a simple question answered here or there to feel comfy enough to flash my new tab, I know you want rotojme because there are no bootstraps installed. I know the koush clockwork mod kernel installs ext4 file system which is great but I can't remember where to put the files I need to adb? lol Im a mess cause its been since the g1 that I have ever adb anything.
Has anyone using JJB taken the leap of upgrading to a better firmware? How did you do it?
Any advise would be appreciated.

JJB is possible
Happy New Year.
New roto's rom is working great. So far I flashed 6 units no problem. They were all JJB. Here is bottom line.
Current status, No voice and 3G possible.
Users have 2 options.
1. 2G(EDGE) with Voice by flasing (Euro Rom)
2. 3G only (with IMEI Mod)
I appreciate Rotohammer's hardwork for this.
If you need more detail, check out following blog at
sooparkhero.blogspot.com
It will go through step by step tutorials.
Can't wait for there to be a tutorial on how to flash a T-mo tab and get 3G. That's all I'm waiting for.
I went through the same mess with mine. I finally just flashed the full jm6 for samfirmwares.com and then just the pda piece of jmc. Since then i used rotos pre rooted jme. Again by just flashing the pda piece. The day after i flashed jm6 is wheb all this talk about different bootloaders came up, so im not sure which boat i am in but i could care less. This jme is ridiculous compared with stock tmo firmware. I am happy enough.with it for this to be the final state of my tab. Lower the lcd density a bit for a better looking tab and remove the contents of your efs folder(AFTER backing it up) for the imei mod that frees you from the webconnect plan and you are set
Issues with roms
There has been some issues with new roms. The issue is once you flash into one of these roms you can't revert back to old one. Here is related link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
Professionals recommand not to use these roms until they are modified and further tested.
Any fix for this?
Maybe Roto can interject, but it's possible that CWM will work as a replacement recovery for you. I think this is resolved if you flashed it the "old school" way of going to the full Russian JJ4 rom, and then the Euro roms.
Right, if you go from stock to Roto v4, doing the re-partition, the swirly logo is gone. This happened on my at&t tab, and on a T-mo tab I set up for a friend. I get a black screen with a thin white line.
I do not get the same issue with roto JME v4 here (Unbranded UK version from Tesco, Went from stock to rotoJME).
Maybe something region specific i guess.

Roto,
Could i flash the AT&T Tab the other way (russian then euro) and possibly get my boot screen back? If i flashed stock would I get the screen back?
To be honest I am still trying to figure out what can and cannot be done with this device. With my captivate I have the hacking procedures down to a science.
Right now I'd like to simply have the phone capabilties but with all the boot screens and recovery modes, and the ability to revert to stock for warranty exchange purposes. I've read through these forums extensively, but I am unaable to piece everything together to get the setup I am looking for.
I too am having this issue.
Search my post you'll find the solution in the dev section and general section.
Basically just flash JJ4_Bootloaders.zip posted by rotohammer.

Hello all. I asked around but couldn't get a concrete answer if I could flash the GB Rom for Sprint onto my VZW Tab. Well I thought why wouldn't it run.....so I tried it. It works beautifully, now I have GB on my VZW Tab. I should also mention that I am not a data subscriber and that I only use my Tab on WiFi, so there was no issue with the data subscription. Follow this link if you want to try:

Edit: I also notice that I am still on the Verizon baseband of DL21. So I don't know how this all worked....but it does.

+1 Works Flawlessly. I am also on the VZW baseband of DL21, but as the OP Ionly use wifi so I don't care.
Amusingly it did complain that I was Roaming and may get speedhumped by zombies because of it.
Steps I took are as follows:
Flashed back to stock according to steps and files in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
After that finished I then followed the instructions for Sprint users to flash the rooted updated from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033
I followed the above steps verbatim in succession and it flashed without issue.
The only thing I did that wasn't listed was to pull my sd card and delete all the files on it before I began. (I didn't format just deleted all files) and I don't even think that was neccessary, I did it as a just in case thing.
Hope this helps some people wit VZW tabs looking to get some Netflixy goodness going (the main reason I attempted this)
Now I just need someone with a data plan to post their experience with doing this so I can try

No data here on a VZW tab with that rom installed. Tries to connect but doesn't work. I am running the DJ11 modem. Any other modems I can flash to test? I don't see any vzw modems in the modem sticky.
Also, since this is stock, be aware it's not stock GB but stock sprint GB update. Full of touchwiz and bloatware.
Edit: Tried Verizon Tab Bootstrapper and tab would load up sprint bootani without sound then go to a black screen. No reason to try at the moment, but thought I would test it for you all.

Keep in mind that it may be saying that because, as far as the Sprint rom is concerned, you may be "roaming" on VZ bands. Who knows though.

Overcome gb stock safe has T-Mobile modem. Modem thread in development subforum sticky also has it.
But let me ask you this.
What do you see as baseband in the phone info.
Because even JPZ can connect to T-Mobile just no 3g. Edge only.
If has baseband and can't connect, can't help you.
But there is a person that has stock T-Mobile froyo and can share it.
You just have to search.

Well Itried flashing the the tmobile radio but it wont stick. Everything on the tab seems fine it just wont register the network. my baseband is JPZ.
Edit: I flashed Overcome stock GB and the tmobile radio... It went good my baseband is T-Mobile. However it still wont register the network. I am staring to think that the sim card is not activated.
Edit: Thanks much for your help. I am happy to say that my friends sim got deactivated. Up till 4 am thinking I screwed something up.
It sucks isn't it when another thing cause you to troubleshoot other things.
But, if you are on T-Mobile network and only going to use data and not voice call, your JPZ modem is going to only give you EDGE (2G) speed.
To get 3G you still need to use the T-Mobile modem I mentioned.
