Hello, I jumped the theoretical gun and installed DK28 thinking it was the official build and I'm now trying to get back to stock DI18 but am running into the issue that I absolutely do not have access to a windows machine or license to use ODIN. Does anyone know a way I can get back to stock on my Mac or should I just start asking strangers to use their machines? Thank you!
Hey guys
I'm running the P1000JXJJ1, FroYo JPJJ2 firmware on my Tab, and samfirmware states P1000JVJL1 is the latest one !
so I was advised NOT to use KIES, and ODIN was better !!
My tab is rooted with OCLF set, Just a quick question, Odin will delete all my data and also I believe that I'd have to re-ROOT the device right?
another question is since I didn't have market out of the box, the product sales code has been changed to XSG.
thanks a lot guys in advance
Cheers
Jackie
if u use oclf, undo oclf b4 update firmware, kies or odin works fine for me, i'll only use odin when i screw up with my tab
and will I have to re root the device and also will ODIN delete all my data?
Hi,
searching for something else I accidentily found this thread.
Maybe my experince might be of any interest: got the galaxy tab 3 days ago, installed KIES and instantly got a message to update the firmware to Froyo JK5. I followed the suggestion to save my data which I regret later, because it took very long (had already copied a lot of videos to the internal sd) and couldn´t stop it. To cut it short:
the update was successful and nothing deleted, just everything in place. Also synchronized Outlook contacts, though at 96% it got stuck - waited a few minutes, then broke up and all contacts had been transferred fine.
(don´t know, if firmware is different for other countries...)
Odin will not delete your data if you did not choose to repartition, no need to use pit file to repartition if you are just upgrading fw from the same region..safest is still via KIES
To correct some mis-information from above. Flashing with Odin can delete your data, it depends on what components are included in the image you flash. If you flash an official ROM with Kies you should not loose your data but there is always a risk of an issue occurring during any flash that could lead to data loss. Unless you flash a pre-rooted custom ROM you will loose root and SU during a flash. These can be re-applied easily to the SGT using the Super One-Click method.
Redardless of what flashing method you use, if you use RyanZA's OCLF you must undo the lag fix before you flash, otherwise you will certainly loose data and possibly end up with a corrupt system that won't boot (I had first hand experience of this early on in my flashing days with my SGS!). You shouldn't really need to apply a lagfix to the SGT as it doesn't seem to suffer from the same lag as the SGS.
Finally, flashing with Odin can lead to product code being changed, especially if the ROM you flash isn't intended for the normal product code of your device. There are various ways to restore your poduct code, look in the Samsung Galaxy S forums for suggestions on how to do this as the basic construction of the ROMs is very similar between the two devices from that point of view. Also, be aware that people with SGS devices have reported loosing their IMEI while flashing with Odin. If this happens you will end up with a WiFi only device unless you backed up your /efs folder before you flashed. There's lots of info in the SGS forums about this and it's worth a read if you are new to flashing. I haven't heard of anyone with a SGT loosing their IMEI yet but it's worth taking precautions.
Happy flashing folks!!
thanks a bunch guys, I'm now running the latest version !!
was just trying to install the latest gingerbread theme from the forums !! will let you all know how that went

Go to the Android Development section.
Look up Overcome and BOCA for the Galaxy Tab. Both a great however I prefer BOCA. The current release is 2.3.4 but 2.3.7 is in the works.
If you follow the instructions for BOCA you will have a GTab that feels like it was newly born again.

Yes. Follow the instructions on the magrathea site or overcome
Use overcome instructions to instal stock GB 5. It tells you the pit and modem to use for your tab.
Then install the overcome kernel and reboot. It will root the tab and format the storage.
Then you install the Boca zip over the overcome kernel.
If you just want overcomes Rom follow their instructions. They make it simple

is that all??hmm,

thanks guyz for da info..
so i dont need to flash stock rom like i always do with my SGS before installing any custom rom?
I just had a quick question, I done a search and couldn't find the answer.
With the official 2.2 update coming soon, I was wanting to go back to a the stock rom once the 2.2 update hits, due to the fact that I need to warranty out the phone (really bad static connection problems).
My question is since I am currently running Nero v4.1 touchwiz, would I be able to simply update to the official 2.2 once the 2.2 update drops, without any problems? I'm still a little new to the flashing roms and such. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Small run down of what i did and if anyone can help ....
I was running 2.3.3 and updated to the unofficial 2.3.4 using odin and simply honey 5.0 revenge by sgt. That's when i noticed that the phone does not connect to the bell network.The rest of my phone works perfectly even the wifi...but like i said i can t seem to connect to the net work anymore.....
firmware 2.3.4 / baseband version i9000xxjvr/ kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected]/ build number simply honey 5.0 revenge
i ve tried some stuff that i have read in these forums like
1. Put apn info my self....tried that nothing.
2. Called tech support and they told me to take the battery out and then the sim
put it back , nothing again
My question is do i have to go back to stock rom to get the network back or is there something else i can try....
information on this subject is sketchy, when i do a google search ...any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance
It probably was a bad flash sounds like some of your system files did'nt compile correctly. Odin back to stockand reflash. I always have flash problems when going past 2.2.1 almost always have to odin back thats why I stick with Froyo a bit mre stable when hopping roms.

Couple of questions for you guys out there.......
First my info I am running firmware version 2.3.4 / basband i9000xxjvr/kernel 2.6.35.7 and build number simpley honey 5.0 revenge ...ntw ..my csc i9000 oxajvq
1. Can i go straight to stock using odin from this configuration with out bricking my phone?
2. Can i just flash the csc for bell because someone in the forums told me that is not the right csc for canada, quebec.
please advise....thanks in advance....
i have the telus galaxy s fascinate 3G+ (SGH-T959D) running stock telus 2.3.3 thats been rooted using superoneclick.
i dont have a custom recovery installed. (i dont really need one as im not really looking to install custom roms)
im not sure if the current (i think TLKG2) has a fix or not. im not interested in going back to 2.2. im hoping to find something that works through odin to install.
every aspect of the phone is stock telus including stock telus 2.3.3
im simply looking for a lag fix that's specific to this version.
can anyone point me in the right direction? i'm coming up empty handed on here.
bump.
I'm in the same boat, but WOULD like to flash ICZen's Royale With Cheese....
forgive me if I've missed any existing threads that have successfully dealt with this issue...I've been looking through several without results (yet)...
