Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but I figured I'd post this experience I had trying to upgrade the firmware on my Sprint Galaxy tab so that other might benefit.
Here goes; I got a brand new galaxy tab with the dj30 firmware on it. I rooted it and did the wifi supplicants trip to get adhoc networks going. Nothing too strange. Then the system tried to auto updated itself to ea24 which I let it. But after I checked it it seems that the upgrade couldn't get through. This process would repeat itself on a regular basis.
I didn't think much about it until I heard that netflix could be played on certain android devices and I of course wanted to play it on my tab. I side loaded it, changed the system props and saw that it still couldn't play. My first attempt to load a custom rom(the ginger for gsm failed, yes I know they're incompatible)which bricked the phone. What then followed was an orgy of flashing anything vaguely related to the tab to get it to at least power on. The only thing that would work was the dj30 base image.
Now I'm back to square one except that my navigation system no longer works so I flash modem.bin from ea24 which fixed the gps. My tab tried to auto update itself to ea24 like it usually tries to do but this time SUCCESS!. Then two more ota updates came after that and worked just as well.
I think flashing the modem might have been what got the upgrade process going.
Sorry if this is a little long I just figured it might be useful to anyone in the same situation.
Can you Pls point me in the direction to get thus modem? I too am having this problem. [email protected]. Pls email it to me if you have. THANKS

Hey Cruton. Seems you and I are in the same position. I'm also stuck on DJ30. Managed to upgrade to rooted gingerbread, but market and browser fc no matter what I try. Your suggestion is something I haven't tried yet. Could you elaborate a bit more? I tried flashing modem.bin (from the EA24 updater) but it freezes up. Do I load it under "phone" in odin? Also, which version were you using?
Cruton. Thank you so much for going through the effort of posting your experience. You have saved my tab. I didn't know what to do anymore. Your trick worked, received all updates OTA and then I received gingerbread OTA. Everything stable and running after two weeks of trying absolutely everything (as I was in EXACTLY the same position as you, so you know how frustrating it is). I wish I could buy you a beer man. Thanks again.

I haven't had trouble with the market or the browser. I believe it was version 1.7 of Odin and I put modem.bin into the Phone section. Interestingly I had to repeat this entire process when the gingerbread update was out. I had to try 3 times with flashing modem.bin because it kept freezing up but it went through eventually. Good luck.
Please help me. I tried a factory reset from the settings and now im stuck in boot loop, i see samsung logo then samsung animation over and over.
i used this method to root : http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-note-video-30421/
My device is a UB version so there is no stock firmware available, from all that ive gathered so far.
I just went thru the root method again hoping it would unbrick it from the boot loop but it didnt.
How can i get out, anyway possible. Maybe install a rom or something????????
I can get into download mode and cwm if that matters.
ANY other info needed ill be right here to answer
i guess ill try and flash the sheep rom
Ok i guess i cant use that rom since its kka kja ????????????????????
this is frustrating me more than any phone ive ever played with

You live in America, so gather this information: Portugal also colonized America, and the result fo that is Brazil. No, we do not speak spanish.
why are you even here in this thread if thats all you want to do is talk **** that i dont care about.
Are you able to help or are you just looking for an arguement?????

I can only assume that you are stuck in a boot loop not because of root but because you removed or froze some system apps and didn't undo it before you did a factory reset.
At this point just flash one of the other stock ROMS using Odin and it should bring you back up.
If you are looking for your specific stock firmware you will need to know your product code (usually it is on the box and will show up something like GT-N7000XNBFSS) You will also need to know the EXACT version of your PDA, CSC and MODEM and then you will be able to grab that specific stock rom using CheckFus
I didnt freeze any apps at all. i was still in playing mode. my phone looked ugly from all the messing around i did.
I just wanted to reset back to default for everything and start over
Im not real sure how to flash a rom with odin but im about to figure it out. Not to mention i am looking for stock roms i can seem to find
Thanks for letting me know though, that i can be back in bussness
What would be the latest stock rom that i can flash with odin and where do i download it? Im going in circles here. Is it the hong kong rom?
See, ive read wrong pit files are bad and that hong kong has a pit file. do i flash without the pit?

Here's what I did:
1) Installed CWM recovery with odin. This is relatively straightforward.
2) get the hong kong rom, put the zip file directly on your sdcard.
3) use cwm's 'install from zip' to install the rom.
It's pretty straightforward, and I didn't have to mess with pit files.
The hong kong rom might not be the latest, nor is it stock, but I'm recommending it because it's a working rom that I installed fairly easily.

CWM was already working because i guess it was installed when i rooted with that not so popular method. installed the hong kong rom. i was hoping to get a stock rom cause i was playing with stuff and checkin it all out, but thats ok, this is probably what i would have ended up with, a nice clean system without all the garbage.
privacy/ factory reset is WORKING now !!! and the yellow triangle is gone now
Thanks!!!
Ok lastly, i lost CWM with this rom though its rooted. I like that. How do i get CWM back. I need to flash that updated market thing with it to update gmail app
I need to install this, but it doesnt say how to in there
ROOT + CWM kernel and official kernel Download: http://min.us/lbr3L9wf7aHUuC
OK I've finally got it back but I'm not in love with these custom roms. I tried the Hong Kong ROM but it was cleaned of a lot of apps and a few problems. I'm now on one of the other roms but it seems to be chewing thru battery and a couple of apps that showed and installed from the market on my stock ROM do not show in market and say incompatible from the market web site. I wish I could just get back to factory. Maybe ill sell it and order another one and not root until its an easy root method like the infuse was

yeah i know...but some of them didn't manage to solve so if somebody have the problem he can solve trying this original files not from wave :
I tried it from GB, and it didn't work. The menus did show and it appeared to work apart from the problem described below. Does it have to be done from 2.1 eclair??
When I did it from GB it always tried to 'update version 2.03' even though I tried about 3 different firmware versions that all had different file sizes. They all showed as version 2.03. I followed the instructions to the letter with reboots in between, etc..
Can anyone link me to a root file for xxjm1? That's why I ended up trying it in GB in the first place, because i couldn't root jm1..

Looks like its a job for in the morning
I'll report back. Thanks..
Edit: I grabbed superoneclick so im all ready for morning. One question, do you think i should use a 3 file rom of jm1, because i only have a 1 file version. What did you use??
I dont want to leave anything to chance this time, if this doesnt fix it then im gonna give in and just buy a new camera unit. Its not the expense why i haven't just bought a new camera already, I'm just trying to avoid having to get the screwdrivers out and open my phone up. I'd prefer not to have to

Just out of curiosity because i am having the same issues..on which firmware you had problems?stock 2.1/2.2/2.3?because i am not stock since more than one year ago and i don't know if it's necessary to go back to eclair to fix the camera or being on JB this doesn't count and my problem is from the hardware..thanks!
Believe me mate, I tried everything. Been back to gingerbread, eclair, got to the stage of flashing the firmware, did it, all came back saying flash successful, and it still didn't work. Tried about 4 different firmwares as well.
My camera broke directly after a factory reset, when i first got the phone, before I had flashed custom roms, kernels, or even rooted, so it was nothing to do with that.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for better luck for you.
Edit: maybe you are more lucky than me, cos I've not been into this thread for months. Strange how i noticed your post 14 mins after you wrote it lol, and I've been in the nexus 7forums more than here since i got my new toy..
You have to be on eclair i think. I know for sure that the code to get into the firmware flashing does nothing at all on ics or jb.

Thanks!
I'm afraid it could be the hardware since i haven't seen many complaints on this and if it would have been firmware it should be quite common..
plus, from close distance it focuses and also if i look at the camera from the back it seems to move focus -so the firmware should be working- but when taking a picture at a distance like 2 meters or more everything is super blurry..
I'll see if i find a cheap replacement..going back to eclair try and than upgrade all the way back is quite painful
Enjoy your new toy! I got one too a couple of months ago and like it a lot
Right Lads. I've got galaxy s6+ edge, rooted. And was working fine till yesterday. All of sudden I couldn't install any apk file- not from play store neither from any other source. I tried everything at this point- clearing data and cache of play store, hard factory resetting my phone 3 times.. and still same problem... can someone please help me? Also as I've said it's not just about play store. I can't install any app at all.. from any source:/ and obviously I've got permission to install app from unknown sources etc...
It's basically like you can see here

I got the same issue with my sony while tring to root. I searched a lot but I could not found anything exept reflashing the stock rom. (I dont know it is the only solution or not but it definetely works) My advice make bakup then flash original firmware. To flash, you can look at this link: https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin
