I saw this in the development section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931857
Has anybody tried it? Does it mean I can use this ROM to get Phone and 3G on T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab?
Would Camera work eventuall?
Thanks.
Think the 3G/Voice is most likely for the Euro Tab's only
Its all about TMobiles modem.bin, the specifically removed the voice function.
You may want to try Roto's modem switcher for TMobile, works fine for me.
G
I am new to Android device.
So, do you mean, 3G & Voice are all about modem.bin, not the Android OS? As long as nobody could find a solution for modembin, no matter which version of Android, we can't have 3G and Voice together on TMO's tab?
Anybody please explain the following terms:
1. Roto's Modem Switcher? Where is it? Which version of Android does it support?
2. What's JK5 Rom/Modem/RIL?
Does Portable HotSpot and Bluetooth headsets still work, when you guys using Roto's modem switcher?
Thanks.
I dont think it matter. What matters is that Tmobile actively blocking the full function of the Tab. They make it whether to e Voice+Edge or full 3G no voice. I have an International Europe Version, but I can not get it on Voice + 3G, even though I had flashed the Tab to run from 850-1700-2100 MHZ bands. It is the Firmware inside Modem.bin

Roto's Modem Switcher is an app that allows you to switch your tab from being Voice+Edge to 3G only and vice versa. It was developed by Roto. It is in the forum somewhere, you have to use Search.
JK5 is a European firm ware which was released on Nov 2010. When downloaded it is contained with Firm ware+modem+CSC in it.
Thank you for all those educations

No matter what you do to it, you can't change the fact that its 7510. You can flash anything or edit anything you want and it will still be 7510. Sorry bro, you bought a wifi only tab.

Any Help Regarding 3g Firmware ?
If you claim yours is 3G ver just flash the Overcome 10.1 Series v1.2.1 KI1 (P7500 version).
p7500 = 3G
p7510 = wifi only
What's on the box is pretty much irrelevant. If it has a SIM slot, it must be a 7500. If you flashed a 7510 ROM on it apparently that changed the model number and your Tab now thinks it’s a Wi-Fi version. You need to flash back to a 7500 ROM. The 7510 and 7500 ROM's aren't interchangeable. If that doesn't work, somebody sold you a Wi-Fi version that for some strange reason has a SIM slot. I take it you didn’t buy this new from an authorized Samsung dealer.

Overcome has a P7500 version, it uses build KI1. Install that and you will get 3G back.

What does it show when you plug in to Keis? If Keis still sees it as a 7500 you can do an emergency restore from there. If not, look in the dev section. I'm sure somebody's posted a 7500 ROM there. If it's a different CSC then you want/need, do a search. There's instructions on how to change the sales code.
Just a quick look in the Development section will find you a 7500 ROM dude...
And the moral of the story is read first, flash later.
Here u can Download several Firmware-Versions:

airplane mode
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi Settings

VPN settings
I just want to be able to run some custom roms or a custom rom rooted with my 3G and my Wifi working.... any more info you guys need and are you able to help?

Ok so tried flashing the zip... wouldn't flash, aborted it over and over, going to try the telstra version o.o >_<
Still not having any luck at all... Help please
Can I please get some help?
3G not working.
Hi aulterra,
I had the same problem and found that the device was running a bit hot. After flashing several ROMS to no avail. Contacted moto support and got in touch with a local authorised repairer. I have sent mine in for a make over.
Hi all,
I flashed the unit with Harkon 1.0 and everything seem to work flawlessly but...except for the speed of the mobile broadband. I'm currently have a Telstra sim but the speed is very awful which is not normal compare to what I was getting before installing Harkon over stock ROM.
Had the same problem with SGS2 with custom ROMs but was fixed after flashed with an Australian modem firmware.
So could this be the problem that caused the speed to be crippled? Any suggestion of how to get the speed back would be greatly appreciated...
Thank You
In your Wireless and Network Settings, select it to 3g only.
I recently bougth A501 in California and shipped it to Poland. First thing I checked was the OS Version. 3.0.1. Check for updates, your version is up to date. So I wrote to Acer and this is what they replied.
"Thank you for contacting Acer America. My name is xxxxx and badge number is xxxxxx. I will be happy to assist you.
I understand that you have concern regarding the Android update. I can understand how difficult this is.
Without a valid serial number, we are unable to pull up the product details. We request you send the correct serial number which is 22 digit alphanumeric or 11 digit SNID number such that we can assist you further. There is not a physical label with the serial number on the Acer ICONIA TAB, but there is a label with the tablet's SNID number on the underside of the MicroSD/SIM card cover. Also, both the serial number and the SNID number can be found in the tablet's menus. To locate both the serial and SNID numbers, simply follow the steps below:
1. From the Home Screen, tap on Apps, and then Settings.
2. Tap on About Tablet, and then Device Information.
For further clarifications please feel free to visit our website:- http://support.acer.com/
Have a great day!
"
So after really nice reply I sent them my SN and SNID.
After that they replied.
"Thank you for contacting Acer America. My name is xxxxxx, badge number xxxxxx. I'll be happy to assist you.
As per your mail I understand that you have concern regarding the Android update.
I have verified the Serial Number and found that your system is covered under Standard Limited Warranty.
Please be informed that no updates planned at this time. Any A501 updates require the carrier to approve. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you for contacting Acer.
Have a great day!
Respectfully,

So now I know two people from Acer, that I don't want to know, and I know something about a Carrier that I don't have, or is it about AT&T?. In this way why won't the AT&T let me update my A501? Where can i get 3.2? Can I take simlock down and then update? Or do I need to root the device (which I would not do, my rooted Desire is enough for me). I do have some AT&T stuff on my Iconia. I really thought that polish carriers are slow in updateing their devices, but now I can see that we are not the worst. I believe 3.2 is couple of months available now. You were always a very helpfull and provided forum support where the big companies refuse or won't have time to help, so I hope there is a chance to update my Iconia A501 to 3.2 without rooting the device.
Thank you in advance for a reply
Bart
If your on 3.01 it takes about 4.5 seconds to root your device. Download Iconiaroot 1.3 and run it. Bamm!! Your rooted. Install Acer Recovery Installer from the Market and run it. Bamm!! Now you have custom recovery. Download any A501 3.2 rom from development section in enjoy!!! Don't see why you are worried about rooting your Iconia if you have already rooted your phone.

Wow now that was easy as 1,2,3. Dammit I made it with my eyes closed (root and recovery). You got yourself a couple of virtual beers and real thanks.

See how easy that was? Welcome to the dark side
But my question, you have an AT&T a501. So, how is that 3g working?
The reason is a logical one. AT&T locked the 3g to their network only. So, that would mean, the internal 3g doesn't work there? And a local sim card, is pretty much,,,, dead?
If you found a way around this, please, share it. I don't worry, as I am unlocked here in Russia, but, several folks bought the AT&T version, then found, back home in Europe, it's dead.
Actually everything was fine with rooting etc, but I can't find any rom that will update me to 3.2. Actually there is one stock 3.2 with root and SU, but it doesn't look safe, as there were a lot of problems with it. I read the Vache thread about the full packages, and even downloaded the Acer_A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1, but there is no update.zip or anything else like this, and he states that there needs to be update.zip to flash the full package (afaik with Desire it was the same, You could change the rom with the update.zip only). So for now I'm rooted, with CWM but still 3.0.1 as I don't know what to D/L.
There are only some folders and files, none of them is update.zip, and I don't even know if I need to put the Acer_A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1.zip on the MicroSD or the folder extracted.
As for AT&T the only option is to take down the simlock, that costs around 5,60 EUR for the code.
I would recommend going for Thor s ROM: http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=79
You should also try Thor s kernel if you decide to go for his ROM.
By far the best one I've tried. If you want to try several, just use Acer recovery installer, you have to pay to use the flash feature but its well worth it if you want to try a few.
Also, here you have a pretty good list of ROM s: http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-iconia-tab-roms/1060-iconia-a500-rom-list-updated-14-dec-2011-a.html
The problem is I need a stock 3.2 as I read most roms have problems with applications compatibility, and probably most of the aplications I would like to use would not work. Second of all, after haveing like 6 different roms on my HTC Desire and going back to stock 2.3.3 I'm not having any problems at all, so would like to leave my iconia stock as well, even with bloatware.
Did Thor make a ROM for A501?
Just run the Harkon Rom. About the only thing it has, is a cooked kernel for Stock 3.2 (don't confuse the kernel with a rom)
But, it's pretty close to stock. You do not have to overclock the cpu, if you don't want to. But other than that, it's pretty much stock.
And it runs just fine ))

So, that being said, my fine Polish friend, let me run this at you.
You bought an AT&T a501. Now, if you've figured out how to unlock the internal SIM so that you can run it on other networks, PLEASE, tell others here the procedure.
Otherwise, what you have my friend, is essentially an a500. Because your internal 3g won't work in Poland (because there is no AT&T network). Am I correct in this?
Unless of course, you have an unlocked a501 (like me)
Now, given the above, and the fact that 500 and 501 roms are essentially the same, I would say, you can run any 500 or 501 rom. Both models have the same exact hardware (except the internal 3g)
You can run a 500 rom (I often do for testing), but, you will have to use a 3g USB Dongle, because your internal 3g doesn't work.
So, run any stock 500 or 501 rom. And, Thors rom, is for the 500, no internal 3g support, but, your's doesn't work anyhow.
I bought A501 only because there were no A500 in whole California, can You imagine? If ever needed I will use my wifi router from Desire, but I don't use my tablet "on the move" so no need for 3G support. I've read the Harkon ROM thread, and I think I'll go for it. So my east border friendly neighbour, thank You for helping me with getting to 3.2. I will post the unlocking solution, when I will know if the unlock code works, and I'm still waiting for it. We do unlock on a lot of foreign phones, as I work in a company that sells unlocked phones.
Do I need different kernel ? Or the stock is just fine?

No problem my friend.
Now, I want to be sure, you have an AT&T a501. Just for me. you don't, tell.
Yes, go for Harkon, it is stock for the 501, but if your 3g doesn't work, it will be ok.
Ignore the overclock, if you don't want to. But, I can say, The tegra 2 can handle 1.4 or 1.5 ghz with no problem. It's the same processor that is used in devices (phones) at 1.2 and 1.5 ghz. So, you should be safe at 1.4/5.
Harkon is ok.
For a little more, Taboonay is ok also. But, I prefer Harkon. Tell you why later in a PM.
EDIT: Sorry. too much rum for the holiday (New Year). The stock Kernel is just fine as it has a cooked kernel. Also, if you wish, Thor's kernel 3.9r3 is a good kernel as well. I did testing for the 501. Both are good kernels. Thor,s has better battery life by about an hour or so, on my tests. But, you should try things on your own. If you like the Harkon kernel, well, ok.
If you want to use Thor, choose on his web page "other". And, before you flash, you only need to wipe Delvak in your recovery.
I run them both to be honest.
