Anyone made a rotobackup of a Bell Tab then later used the files to restore ?
Any issues after, does it differ from a out of the box Bell tab?

Hi. I bought my Tab on CraigsList in Canada and was able to root successfully with z4root. The Tab has no phone software installed, but apparently has all the require hardware. It has some BELL apps on, but it is obviously no locked (?) since it has no phone capability. I'm thinking of flashing it with a ROM that allows me to use the phone. In the "Developers" section they talk a lot about device identification i.e. AT&T, Sprint, TMobil etc, etc., but I'm not sure which category my TAB falls into........all I know is that is has a few Bell apps on it.
I'm obviously quite new to the TAB and android and would appreciate any enlightenment on this.
Thank you.
Did you manage to identify your tab?
I also got a bell tab.

After flashing the Euro JM6 FW, I was able to dial, *#7465625#, and saw that my Tab was Network Locked. I then follwed Rotohammer's hex editing method to unlock the phone.
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323
I then flashed Rotohammers rooted JMC FW and my Tab is now working great.
Good luck on your venture.
Thank you!

Hi!i just made quite a deal with a galaxy tab here in Portugal. Its from the TMN operator and guess what, its filled with crappy apps that i cant remove. So i was wondering what would be the best option here regarding samsung "official" firmwares....I also havent flashed anything yet so i dont really know what all programs are necessary, but ive seen references to a ODIN app. and pit files. So i was wondering if i could get some help from the community. Also the tab suffers from sluggish web browsing and the notifications bar is also sluggish when calling up and down.
regards,
You actually don't need to install a custom firmware; All you have to do is root it (search z4root) and then use a file explorer or adb to remove the apps from the /system/app folder. Backup everything you intend to remove, because you may accidently remove something vital.

Hi guys, was just about to start a similar thread, I bought a tab online from bestbuy expecting delivery on Wednesday, just wanted to know what I ll do when the tab comes.
I have already got my case and screen protector ready.
Number 1 I believe will be root, what apps are recommended to keep and remove etc, I believe there are no custom roms for now...
Also is there Google market available for the tab?
Thanks in advance.
Just wondering i bought this GT and it apparently came straight from Samsung.
I see some stock roms but if i wanted to restore to stock would this be the rom version i look for ? im coming from HTC lol this is new to me. i have not rooted yet, when i do i do a backup but its nice to have the oem rom file te restore
i have a P1000N model with nam bands and phone voice.
Has anyone got a link to, or is able to do a full dump of their UK wifi only model.
I know the hardware is the same, but the software is definately different.
Ive flashed the us wifi only 3.1 but want to restore back to stock and foolishly didn't backup beforehand. (I read that the us and uk version are identical, but they I fact are not)
I don't care about losing root either
Thanks
Hi guys! I have Sprint version of Galaxy S8 Active and I would like to switch the firmware to T-Mobile. I did do standard flashing, but feels as if I haven't done anything. FYI - I didn't use "user data" file, I don't think I had to.
I have read some posts for S8 and many of them mention "factory binary" and so on. I didn't find any of that. Could anyone gather needed files? (I did download normal firmware) A guide would also be helpful!
Thanks!
