Updating the Galaxy Tab to the latest firmware !

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

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?

Roto JME Firmware on AU OPTUS Tab?

Hi All,
Hope this is the right forum for this, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience on loading the ROTO JME Firmware onto an Optus Tab, and if so, what were the improvements and were there any traps to watch out for considering the carrier lock?
I had a quick look through the ROTO JME Forum, and can't see much specific.
Regards,
bvd81

I have roto jme on the opus tab. One of the first things i did was remove the carrier lock (now works with three and telstra sims) search on this forum for info
I went straight from stock to the jm series firmware and its much much faster now just write down your internet and mms apn details as mine were wiped when upgrading.
Also if you use the optus apps make sure you only use roto upgrade package or it will wipe them.

Hi Ghostwalker9
Can you pease tell me how you flashed that ROTO JME to the Optus Tab?
I tried using Odin, but I guess it only recognises the Samsung Tab, so do I need the full version of clockworkmod?
Also, did you solve your optus sim problem with the JRE ROM?
Thanks
Greg

Did you install the usb drivers for the tab, and were you in downloading mode?
it should recognize the tab regardless of whats on it

Hi
Yep, had usb drivers installed, can access with adb. Not sure what download mode is though. Will research that one.
So when its in download mode should I use odin to flash the firmware?
Also, just so I'm clear when I say Optus Tab I mean the ZTE V9 tab that Optus has branded, not the Optus version of the Samsung Galaxy tab.
Thanks

Hey does anyone have the stock Optus (current) ROM backed up with all apn, sms, settings, if so please PM me with a link.
Thanks heaps

I would also appreciate such a link, as some initial glitch with Titanium backup caused me to lose some standard Optus apps prior to a Roto or Nandroid backup.
PLEASE: Take care if you try the batch option to "Integrate updates of system apps into ROM".
While I have no problems with all the great ROMs here, it would be good to go back to stock if I felt the need. Especially to finish off my initial Australian app subscription as I cannot find this app anywhere else.
Much appreciated if possible.
BTW: I am currently on Overcome v1.4.0 and like it very much. The Roto ROMs were also very good.

I'm pretty sure I've done a backup via titanium, but havent tried to restore from that, also i removed overcome 1.4 as thought i had wifi issues which when restored from OEM backup that OC1.4 performed it bricked it, so I had to use a full roto conversion which changed my modem & i assume pit as well.
Before (stock)

CSC : P1000OXAJMG
Build Time : 2011.01.22 01:24:16 KST

Hence why i want to bring it back to my OEM CSC & Modem if that's at all possible..
I cant even find the OEM ROM and Kies or Samsung Website?

Hi to all,
I am posting the link for a cwm as closest to stock for the european atrix (nordics greece), with bootloader unlocked, rooted, mem and battery fix. It's as close to stock with the aforementioned modifications. I thought this cwm

2. unlock (intl fix 1)
3. install romracer's cwm
4. rooting with root_cwm.img
5. memory fix with ramfix.img, and
6. battery fix with jug6 fix2.img
7. cwm full backup (including webtop) and upload

Hi, thanks for this. I tried installing using Koush CWM 5.0.2.0 and I get:
"Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update package...
Installation aborted."
I'm running a euro atrix (originally t-mobile) SIM unlocked, rooted, currently on CM9 ROM.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Appy,
I tried to flash back, there was a system error, I think I messed up the recovery process. Just to be safe, I will remove the file, redo it, and post an MD5 (just in case of corrupt files).
I don't know if it makes any difference that I used the romracers.

brilliant. thanks a lot!

Hi
Could you send me this fruitcake?
thx

Restoring default Android version

Hi
I recently bought a second hand S4 from Amazon but it seems that it have customised firmware installed; PhoeniX ROM. I was wondering what is the easiest way to remove this and bring back either the default or latest version of Android.
Thanks

Try to restore firmware throug kies application first, but surely, it will fail.
So the best option you have, IMO, is to download a stock ROM from sammobile, wioe the entire phone, and flash it

Ignore kies, it won't work
Just flash a stock ROM via Odin

How to know your Build No on Custom Rom?

Hay there! I just installed Costom Rom on my Galaxy S5 G900I after a great stuggle at one stage i thought I bricked my phone, but lucky this time. All thing is fine even great with custom rom the issue it that, It change my device information and it is Note 5 Now here is my questions?
1) How to know my Build No ( orginal one before custom rom)
2) If I want to installed another Rom then how to find my phone match's Rom?
Thanks and Sorry, If i wasn't clear enough.

Hi Jabbarshah
If you followed xda tutorials by the letter, you have made a complete Nandroid backup before starting any modifications.
Just in case the information you eagerly need isn't present, you may restore that backup and regain access to it.
What lasted after ROM installation can be easily visualized using Phone INFO ★Samsung★. Specially Hardware and Personal tabs are stock information.

Your main information while seeking for a new ROM is the model SM-G900I. Nothing else matters.
You will just need to take care, for future flashes, that your bootloader and modem are matching (closer enough) the firmware you are flashing.
Example:
a) If you intend to flash PopWiz Telstra v5.1 that is compatible with your G900I, would be kinda complex as @iris28 doesn't clearly states which firmware version he's using. The information may be somewhere onto his thread but unfortunately isn't advertised as should.
b) THE GALAXY PROJECT by Master @djb77 states clearly that he's using Lollipop XXS1BPD3. :victory: ... so you end opting for it.
Now you just have to search for the closer firmware you can find that will match (not exactly) TGP. You have a complete list at Sammobile SM-G900I. Seek for your country/provider with higher Lollipop (5.0) release. If you are unable to find a flashable Odin file for that, you may do it yourself (xda way)
Hope I could be clear enough.
Have fun.
