Sprint Roms and Mods

Good Afternoon Sprint Tab users,
I have seen a lot of use wanting more from our tabs and haven't been able to get it. Well I have a plan now. We have a super smart DEV willing to work on getting some stuff out there for our tab. A454Nova and Bauxite have worked on some stuff, but they need help w/ this stuff. I have asked noobnl to help us out and he is willing to get CM6 on the tab, here is the catch we need you to donate to help get him a sprint tab.
This is a huge opportunity to get our tabs to the same level the GSM tabs are at. I am tired of setting at the stock level and want more out of my tabs. With all this said please click on my donate button and lets take the CDMA tab to the next level. Please click on noobnl link in the post below.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
V/r,
Jkurl

not worth it since the galaxy tab 2 is coming out
all your money is refunded

ok i just donated. Check your e-mail and you are halfway to your tab. This is how serious I am about making this tab kick a$%.

Awesome! I'll put some in on Monday, I have to move funds around.

Yep it looks like the t mobile tab is the way to go.

I really hate to say it but... I feel sick that this only had a life of a few months. TAB2 is going to awesome and I feel like samsung just ****ed over on all our Sprint ppl. If I where you guys. SELL them now while you can get some money for it. I played the double 30 day game. Thanks God!

Im gonna keep mine sense i did get a good deal on mine and im ony paying payments and also agood 3year warrantty which even if i spill something on it or kil it somehow its covered
and even if there isint gonna be no mods its really not a big deal to me the tab does everything i want it to do anyways.
Sill sucks tho that a new tab is coming out aready. . But than again thats how tech goes and after the tab 2 comes out there might be a tab 3 months.down the road again llol
Another thing is its not gonna come out for another 3 or 4 months whichi cant be with out my tab that long.
I still hope there will be some dev worked on these tabs tho by someone even tho not much a big deal to me but stil would be nice, And hopefully it will get honey comb ported to it because i was reading that they got the nook color to boot honey comb. . . Lol so if that can run it than this tab can run it better. It is getting gingerbread atleast for now tho not sure when. . . .
But ya im still happy with the tab.

Please be careful how you word things, I saw you posted this in another thread too. before everyone ups and flashes this please PLEASE wait until someone who has already lost gps from flashing tests it to see if it fixes gps. I only say this because there is already an "almost stock" flashable ROM with that name on this forum that has the Epic 4G modem in it. it is just a ROM to help folks recover their Sprint Tabs as a last resort but you lose gps.

can someone please with a Bricked GPS Sprint Galaxy tab try this and tell us if the GPS works after?
UPDATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT!!!! IMPORTANT READ!!!!!!!
I emailed the guy and this is what he said:
"I'm using this firmware more than month, but i'm not from USA, so i cant say anything abut working 3g, but guys, who create this firmware, said, that it should work.
GPS doesn't work, but i don't flash it again, because I'm afraid to make it brick again.
modem.bin file from some Sprint HTC device.
All that I can say- this firmware works, and its better, then "gold" brick."
So the above link with the stock sprint rom is the same one that bricks your GPS and uses a different MODEM.BIN and no way to get your GPS working again unless you send it into samsung!

Sprints network is slow, so very very slow. When i am out and about and I need to do anything intensive I tether my Sprint tab to my AT&T Nexus One. On my N1 I consistently get 3-4mb/s. On my Sprint tab I usually get 500-800kb/s all over new york and new jersey.

[Q] Will Moto Xoom be flashable

Does anyone know if the Moto xoom will be flashable to boost mobile or metro or cricket like how the samsung tab is

Great question. I don't know the answer but the question is can any Verizon 3G work on Sprint/Metro(same company). You don't want Cricket. My quick look makes me think the odd's aren't great. But I think the EVO was fully ported to MetroPCS.. so maybe.

I don't think a verizon phone can work on sprint and vice versa. If metro works on sprints networks then a sprint phone could be flashed to work on it. It has to do with the wireless technology in the device. Plus, even if it was the same, I doubt sprint would activate it.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App

I doubt it honestly

My research showed that in some markets Metro has a program in place for reprogramming Sprint and Verizon phones for use on their network. However, I suspect they won't do it for a product like the XOOM.
I hope that someone figures it out. I am partially hopeful, I just bought a 11,000mAh battery for my EVO so that I can tether for hours at a time. Testing it right now with everything turned on, streaming tversity video to the phone for hours and barely drained the external 30%.

I'm honestly fairly ignorant on the matter so if I sound stupid give me a pass..
But..
If the hardware could do it, isn't it 'just' a matter of which 'radio firmware' is being used? (with regards to porting to a different carrier)

Motorola Xoom
Hey everyone, hows it going. First I would like to thank everyone here for all your hard work on these new android devices and helping people like me figure out problems to how to get these devices working.
I just got back from the store where I picked up the new motorola xoom. I've noticed that its on verizons service, but would like to know if anyone can point me to the proper direction as to how I can get this device working on crickets network.
I have a droid x, droid 3 all working on cricket data, mms and all working. next task is to get this xoom working on crickets data... any idea's as to where I can start off...
I'm not finding any informaiton about this device at all for flashing. I found someone who claims that they can root there xoom, ... its a start, but not really wanting to do that without consulting the professionals first.
please note that this is not my first go around with custom roms or rooted gingerbread roms. also please note that I'm aware this rom is the hunnycomb rom.
any help is much appreciated .... sorry about the spelling and thanks for all your help in advanced.

If by the new Xoom you mean the XYboard, it is not yet rootable. The original Xoom is rootable and has a number of awesome roms and overclocking kernels. Take a look around the forum and you will see many wonderful things. I'm sorry that I can't help you with getting your Xoom to run on the cricket network...

I have an iconia a501 with a sim card for 3g... it seems all the a500 roms have crippled telephony/apn settings etc. Id rather not get around with a great big bulbous dongle hanging out the side of my a501 waiting to get smashed to bits on a door frame as I'm walking through lol.
We clumsy people need internal 3g. Thats precisely why Acer made a501's (which unfortunately only come with android 3.0.1 which only supports keyboard through usb).. was kinda hoping i could upgrade rom for mouse/dongle/controller support through the usb, and maybe overclocking ability to atleast 1.2ghz, and not loose my internal sim card 3g support... guess I'm a little ahead of myself and the xda developers... the curse of being on the bleeding edge of technology i guess.
EDIT: btw i have no problems at all with beta testing etc if anyone is working on one, I am also a fairly accomplished pixel pusher if that person wanted help theming it.

The topic should be "not a single android 3.1 iconia 501 rom with 3g working?".
We have working 3g modems but the rom is different than yours and so far only one 3.01 rom has feen made for the 501 model.

That is QUITE a different thing than what one thinks when reading the thread title, you know? And you're asking for an A500 ROM for A501? Get an A501 ROM instead or extract the drivers from A501 ROM and use them on an A500 one. There is no point in including A501 drivers in an A500 ROM because the hardware doesn't exist there at all, you know.

I mentioned in another thread (sorry shoulda mentioned it here too) that it maybe its possible that someone create a rom update to include said drivers? Anyway, surely it wouldnt be THAT cumbersome to a 500 to have a couple of extra 501 drivers? (ive tried a few 500 roms already and they run absolutely perfectly apart from apn settings, just frustrating to be so close and stopped by a simple driver).

I solve the issue by using the portable mini wi-fi modem with my 3G broadband SIM that I have lying around. Top up the SIM and unlock the modem for free (bit of google will tell you how to do) now I use it to connect my A500 as well as missu iPad at the same time. ^ ^

What you guys are talking about is usb port working anyway, not 3G... I don't know why you think usb when you read 3g.

good idea, but when I'm carrying around a phone, a tablet, a radio, 2 sets of keys, whatever spare part I need at the time and often a coffee as well... yet another gadget is not at the top of my list of wants... especially when what we're talking about is a something as small as a single driver.

I think that someone should build a 3.1 rom with the A500 3.1 kernel (or some modified one) built with the 3G driver coming from the A501 3.0 kernel. Unfortunately I'm not able to do so...

Hello,
Are you sure about this? I ask this because when I bought mine with HC 3.0.1. it was showing cellular radio in battery usage. I wondered about that and have since found the covered sim port but cannot tell if there is contacts in there. I have been searching these forums looking for anyone who has tried to insert a sim card.
Regards

Yes. We have a few posts that include teardowns, schematics and people that opened the port. You name it we had it. The module and drivers are missing and the radio is just something that's present in 3.0.1. Most custom roms have it disabled now.

You really haven't searched either very hard, or at all. If you had, you'd have found the dozen or so threads detailing all this.
But feel free to not believe us and stick your SIM in there. Have fun taking your tab apart to get it out again.

Sticking the SIM in there doesn't really do much good for him though as you can clearly see in the take-apart pictures that there's several complete chips, capacitors and resistors missing and those exist only in the A501.. And sure, you COULD solder the missing parts there, but first you'd have to find them all somewhere, then manage to solder everything in place without shorts and without burning any adjacent components..

That's helpful FFM. No need to point me to any of those dozen or so threads either. Yes the forums are very easy to search I have been going through the A500 for hours but not enough to ask for help apparently.
Thanks Werecatf and bpivk,
I did see one teardown thread but it was for the battery. It just showed the backside of where the slot would be. It was just a thought because the radio was draining the battery before the update.

Yeah, it's not really the radio though, it's the driver that continuously tries to access the radio even though it doesn't exist. Acer didn't apparently do enough Q/A, it should have been really easy to notice the extra drain on the battery.

Which phone do you have? Why not attach a decent data plan (if you haven't got one already) and tether the phone to your tablet?
Make use of your phone and use it as your wifi modem
Thus eliminating the need for an extra device AND an extra data plan for your tablet.

My phone (htc desire) has a sim with telstra (which gives me 500mb data per month).. I have a whole other sim with optus for my tablet (4gb per month).. you seem to be suggesting that I discard my optus sim and make do with 500mb data a month... seriously it can't be THAT hard to make a simple addon for a rom which adds internal 3g support for a501...
And @ werecats original post: Yes I am aware that a500 devs wouldn't include it in an a500 rom because the hardware isn't there.. but these a500 devs would do well to have an ounce of compassion for their a501 brethren.

You're making the assumption that these devs actually HAVE an appropriate A501 ROM, with drivers etc, that they can use.
And comments like that aren't exactly going to endear you to those A500 devs either.

Question about an A501

Basically, I have the option to trade my AT&T HTC One X for an Acer A501 and $200. Does this sound like a good deal? Sounds like a good deal to me but I don't know much about this tablet. I already have a Samsung GS3 so I don't really need the phone. The A501 is factory out of the box. Does the A501 use all the same rooting methods and stuff as the A500? Is there anything that would prevent me from being able to root this tablet and flash ROMs on it?
Thanks for any insight that can be provided

No Problem Mate.
Sounds like a fair trade to me. The 501 is a pretty good tab. If it's brand new out of the box. What I would make sure of though, is that it's not one of the ATT 501's where you are locked into their network. It's almost impossible to get ATT to unlock the device. And, there is currently no way to unlock it via hacks. You would be stuck with ATT for data access.
As far as rooting and installing roms, it can be done. But be advised, as with all rooting and flashing bootloaders, there is risk involved.
Yes, it is virtually identical to the 500 (except GSM and GPS), so what you can use on one, you can use on the other.

Thanks for the info. I'm not really concerned with the mobile data part of it. I'll more than likely just use it on wifi. Yeah, I know all about the risks involved, this isn't my first rodeo, so to speak. I just didn't know if there was some of the tablets that weren't rootable or something. Thanks very much for the info. I'm getting it today, but I decided to keep my One X and trade my GS3 for the A501 and $300. I'm pretty happy with the deal.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'll be on here looking for methods for rooting because I know the A501 is completely stock. I may send ya a PM if I run into any issues. I actually ended up selling my GS3 instead. I actually like the One X better and I'm getting $300 and the A501 for my GS3. The A501 has a little damage to one corner of it but I've seen it in action and all seems good. He's even going to let me swap back if something is acting screwy with the A501 within a couple of weeks. Seems like a straight up guy so I'm sure it's fine.
Since I know it's stock, I should plan on using this tool, correct?

Your only chance to Sim unlock the ATT version of the tablet, is to first email Acer Support, then e-mail ATT technical support, and explain your situation. Explain that you live in a different country and that ATT service is not available, and you didn't know 3g wouldn't work on non-ATT Networks when you bought it.
You should always include your Tablet Serial number AND your IMEI number with EVERY communication. You will find this either on the Factory box, and also on the SIM/SD cover of the tablet.
Eventually, ATT will hopefully give you the unlock code. Each code is different and based on the IMEI number.
You may have to e-mail them several times. Always remember, BE POLITE in your mails. And go to a higher supervisor if needed. Hopefully they will understand the situation and give you the unlock code.
This method has worked for a few other people who bought the ATT/Rogers a501,but live in other countries.
