Greetings all,
A couple weeks ago I heard of the Tab so read a few reviews and went to buy it a week ago. It is relevant to mention that I am ATM working in Saudi Arabia.
As soon as I turned it on I got my first disapointments. Its in Arabic and NO Market app installed.
After playing around with it not knowing what I did to it had to reset back to factory settings a couple times. Another disapointment, it resets to Arabic and every time I have to ask someone to change it back to English for me.
Now I am trying to figure out how to install an English based ROM that has the Market App on it. First I read about rooting then about flashing then the warning not to use JM6.
I would appreciate some advice.
Is rooting a pre-requisite for flashing?
Is SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse the simplest and safest way to root?
Considering the warning would instead of JM6 be advised to flash to JK5 or some other ROM?
Current firmware
PDA: P1000JPJJ1
Phone: P1000JXJJ1
CSC: P1000JPJJ1
Thanks to all for any help.
Hi everyone, im from Malaysia and im kinda new in this flashing business.
However, i just bought my tab from Singapore. The following is my tab details:-
PDA: P1000DXJJ1
PHONE: P1000DXJJ1
CSC: P1000OLBJJ2
Somebody please kindly advice me if i have to upgrade my current firmware and which version would be the best for me. Because i have seen so many different version of firmwares available in samfirmware but im not too sure which is the best, also worrying about the warning from mr.chainfire's thread.
Currently, im considering jj2,jk2,jm4, and roto jme but still not sure which one of it would benefits me the most. Please do let me know your opinion upon of my queries. I would really like to know if i need to upgrade or not. And, does the firmware upgrade would bring up the optimized performance to my tab?
Your answer will be very much appreciated.
Thank You in advance.
Best Regards,
TabFans.

Roto JME is a good choice, the overall speed of this version have much improvement than stock one, and Roto had removed the proteceted bootloader issue from his ROM.
only one thing to remind, do backup of original rom or at least copy the /system/csc and /efs to ur computer. These are the region code and the IMEI of ur tab.
Hi, I'm a newbie owner of the amazing GS2.. I had an Acer Liquid before.
I'm now planning to root my device and to flash a Mod Rom.
After reading around in the forum I'm a bit confused about CSC.
The last Italian stock should be:
I9100XWKE7_I9100XWKE1_I9100ITVKE5 (I downloaded it in order to restore the phone in case of needs)
but my phone is:
PDA: KE7
PHONE: KE1
CSC: KE4
I don't think the phone is branded, even if I bought it from vodafone I don't have any Branded App or Logo.
Kies says that the phone "can't be updated", so I should have installed the last stock Rom
So, why I have the CSC4 instead of CSC5?
Is it a problem If I want to to root the phone flashing "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4"??
Is my phone going to switch from ITV (Italian) to XEU (European)?
Is it right what I'm going to do or is it completely wrong? (I'm not planning to brick my phone until november )
Thanks in advance
PS: If already exist a thread about this please post the link, I dind' find it
Hello,
I own GT - I9000 with STOCK ROM exactly this one (2.3.6 TMZ - Baseband i9000XXJW4; and Build number - gingerbread.BOJW6)
And I wanna root and flash from stock to custom rom (CM9).
Before posting I tried to root my SGS by SuperOneClick 2.3.3, however it stopped in the step 7. And now I would like to use ODIN for this. But I will do this once and I dont want to make hard brick from my phone. I am confused in this terms like PDA,CSC atc. And I dont know where to find new ones.
It´s possible to join files to this thread for ODIN for rooting and flashing?
It´s needed to upload new kernel, baseband (PDA,CSC and so on) on the phone?
Please would you mind to clear this issue up for me?
Thank you very much.

Please help me, I am beginner in this trouble...

Hi, Rinyumi ,
No, but there is red alert for all flash
You are lonely responsible of your fone
the Best way in this case hardbrick

Yeah are included, you have to extract the zip, remove the .md5 and extract again, and use only system.img... search you will find how to make flasheable by odin again
