OK so i've had my tab for about two weeks and i can't get a clear answer as to what my options are for flashing my device. I see many JMC and JJ6 and I'm really lost. I know there are many models of this tab but i want to know for the American tmobile tab specifically.
the firmware i have says JJB...What are my options as far as to flashing to a new firmware?
Is there an official upgrade?
I will only use it for data and not voice calls, so i want to have 3G. I would like a fix to the lag in the calendar and browser.
Can any of the firmwares help me?
I also installed Kies with drivers and it doesn't see my tab? Do i have to be in download mode for Kies to see my tab?
Thank you very much for your time.
Same boat as you. awaiting some guidance as well.
Same thing here. Kies doesn't recognize my tab and I'm on JJB. Changing your IMEI works though, allowing for 3G and bypassing the T-Mobile redirect. I'm on the old school 5.99 T-zones plan and getting unlimited 3g .
same here there is very little guidance and very helpful people but I can't seem to just get a simple question answered here or there to feel comfy enough to flash my new tab, I know you want rotojme because there are no bootstraps installed. I know the koush clockwork mod kernel installs ext4 file system which is great but I can't remember where to put the files I need to adb? lol Im a mess cause its been since the g1 that I have ever adb anything.
Has anyone using JJB taken the leap of upgrading to a better firmware? How did you do it?
Any advise would be appreciated.

Seems like it is safe to flash the new roto jme rom. It.s in the development section.

JJB is possible
Happy New Year.
New roto's rom is working great. So far I flashed 6 units no problem. They were all JJB. Here is bottom line.
Current status, No voice and 3G possible.
Users have 2 options.
1. 2G(EDGE) with Voice by flasing (Euro Rom)
2. 3G only (with IMEI Mod)
I appreciate Rotohammer's hardwork for this.
If you need more detail, check out following blog at
sooparkhero.blogspot.com
It will go through step by step tutorials.
Can't wait for there to be a tutorial on how to flash a T-mo tab and get 3G. That's all I'm waiting for.
I went through the same mess with mine. I finally just flashed the full jm6 for samfirmwares.com and then just the pda piece of jmc. Since then i used rotos pre rooted jme. Again by just flashing the pda piece. The day after i flashed jm6 is wheb all this talk about different bootloaders came up, so im not sure which boat i am in but i could care less. This jme is ridiculous compared with stock tmo firmware. I am happy enough.with it for this to be the final state of my tab. Lower the lcd density a bit for a better looking tab and remove the contents of your efs folder(AFTER backing it up) for the imei mod that frees you from the webconnect plan and you are set
Issues with roms
There has been some issues with new roms. The issue is once you flash into one of these roms you can't revert back to old one. Here is related link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
Professionals recommand not to use these roms until they are modified and further tested.
Hi guys... I have just returned to android after joining the other side. My last android device was an htc hero which was rooted and running a custom rom, but that was a very long time ago and android has moved on so much since then. I recently purchased a motorola atrix which was locked to t-mobile uk, I used an unlocking code to use on the o2 network. I then rooted the device. I have looked through the many many posts of how to unlock my bootloader and usually I wouldnt have any issues but many of the download links are down, so I read another method and the more I read the more I doubt myself.
please dont flame me, if somebody could spare a few moments i'd be very grateful...
my device details are as follows...
Model - MB860
Android Version - 2.3.4
system version - 45.31.2MB860.T-Mobile.en.GB
Baseband version - N_01.100.00R
Build number - 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.2
Also, any good rom suggestions? I drive for a living so I use co-pilot sat nav alot, I also love taking pics and videos, so would like a rom that has working camera and video recording....
thanks again...
I am not certain with what your issues are with following the method in the sticky at the top of this thread. If some download is not working, seach around for the same file. It is all about getting the unlocked bootloader to flash.
AFAIK, the only way to unlock a moto phone is to flash a moto signed unlocked bootloader.
I do wonder if just burning the fuse would do the trick, but do not know either if it can be done or if it works. But I seriously doubt you want to go there.
Sorry guys.... The sticky somehow got linked to my question.... please ignore the sticky!!! I have no idea how that happened.
Ok, I managed to sort everything out... I'm running Nottach Trix4g custom rom.
But I did notice something whilst running rsd lite, I made sure that I followed the instructions exactly, my phone was detected and started to unlock my bootloader, all files extracted and for some reason on the last section my phone rebooted but the operation had not complete on rsd lite. So I tried again with the same thing happening, the device would reboot with no 'UNLOCKED' on the boot screen. After the second time I was alittle worried so checked the phone was working properly and noticed a decrease in performance. I then checked available memory and it was at 78mb free, even after rebooting with 200mb used!!!
Basically I ended up unlocking the bootloader via command prompt and it worked first time, I've made a back up of my stock rom and then went ahead and installed the nottach Trix4g custom rom, this rom has the ramfix as an option during install.
So right now after checking my running services I have 440mb free with 222mb used, does that seem right?
After I installed the new rom I let it settle for around 30mins before using the device.
It seems ok but what do the more experienced users think, have I messed something up?
yup sounds about right thats a good rom too
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Really happy with the rom too. If i was to change roms would I have to re-apply the ramfix?
thanks for your help.
hope this helped!!
depends if you have bell atrix AT&T atrix or international. all international users have to flsh the ramfix when needed. i have att atrix so i can flash either flaux123 clesmyns or cm9 kernels well depending on the rom. cm9 uses cm9 or flauxes123 kernel and gingerbread uses gb kernels.
oh ok, I see..... im from the uk so I had to flash ramfix. Does that mean that even if I was to flash a stock rom that I'd still have to flash ramfix, or would it be back to normal? I suppose what im trying to say is, using the method I used to unlock my bootloader have I damaged the ram in anyway?
Whats the best ics custom rom available at the moment?
Thanks again....
No by unlocking the boot loader you didn't mess up anything. You just voided your warranty. Now if you were to put stock rom u don't have to flash ram fix. If it boots up and passed the boot logo then you're good. But if it stays stuck on boot logo for more than 2 minutes then logically u need to apply ram fix. U can flash any ATRIX rom. If it gets stuck then u need ram fix. And best ics rom as from right now will be the one from jokerjax.com.

thanks guys, I really appreciate your help. All seems to be running surprisingly well with the new rom.

Hi,
I just picked up a Defy+ from a wholesaler online. It was supposedly unlocked already but it won't work when I placed my SIM card in it. My card is for Telus Mobility in Canada. Just curious if anyone has had success using the Defy+ on Telus's network. When purchasing the phone I was under the impression that it was just a Defy with bumped OS version and higher CPU clock speed, but essentially the same hardware. Telus previously offered the original Defy so I'm assuming that the Defy+ will work also. Any help/advice/info would be greatly appreciated.
I've also got a similar post on this thread but decided to create my own as well.

Just an incompatible baseband selected. What is the rom version you have on it?
Phone is still stock as it came
Just added a screen shot of the about phone. Haven't flashed any ROMs yet, or even rooted it. I'm waiting to make sure I can use the phone with Telus before I start doing all that to it. In case I need to return it.
I was considering flashing the baseband from this thread to see if it had an effect. Do you have a suggested baseband I should flash, or a suggested thread to follow? I'm no stranger to xda and modding phones, though I'm far from an expert and the Defy+ is completely new to me so I'm still just doing a lot of reading on it before I do anything.
Thanks,
Vic
Still not luck with Telus network
So after trying various Defy root methods I discovered that the old exploits don't work on my phone which has BL7. Found a good thread that handled rooting my device and successfully rooted. Following which I installed a current 2ndinit from this thread and then flashed the latest CM10 nightly. After playing with the baseband switcher and trying everyone I still haven't gotten it to register with Telus. The best I've achieved is finding the network and it failing to register.
Anyone with suggestions on what I should try next?
Still trying to get this device to work with my telus SIM card. Looking for any help to trouble shoot. Would like to start using this device as a second phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OKay I see it says you that it was supposed to be unlocked but i'm thinking maybe you should get another unlock code and try it. That would be the only other reason i could see it not working other than APN not correct or wrong baseband. Try China ME722.1.10.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give unlocking it another shot tonight. I tried a half dozen baseband settings in cm10 that match the telus bands but no dice. Keep getting an ME error when it did see the telus network. I'll post my efforts tonight.

I've come to the conclusion that getting the Defy+ I purchased to work on Telus isn't possible. At least by me. I confirmed that the device was indeed unlocked by trying it with SIMs from both Rogers and Fido, which both worked. I also tried a Bell card and had the same results I had with my Telus SIM, which was being able to see the network but not connect or use talk or text. This was regardless of the baseband I used.
In the end I just returned the phone back to complete stock and gave the device to a friend on Rogers who needed a new phone badly but couldn't afford an upgrade at this time.

Too late now, but for reference you could have tried flashing a new radio. Worked for me, and also the baseband that works may not necessarily be geographically related to your location. In India the Vodafone France baseband works fine
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
I tried to flash the Telus.zip baseband I found in a thread and it returned an error on each attempt. Flashing any other baseband that matched the frequencies for my network still resulted in a failed network connection. Same results occurred with the Bell SIM I tested with, which is a very similar network to Telus. After checking Telus' compatibility list it clearly stated the Defy+ was not compatible. I still find that strange since as far as I understand it is simply a Red-lens Defy with a larger battery and a more current ROM. I thought for sure if I added the correct frequencies I'd be set. I was mistaken as my repeated attempts have shown.
Interesting. But did you flash an older or newer Radio(not baseband)?
If defy is compatible defy plus has got to be, unless they use some twisted form of imei locking
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
I tried the baseband from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117553
I also tried using the cm10 baseband switcher.
Didn't realize I could flash a radio as well. When I did see and connect to Telus I'd immediately get an ME error and then loose connection to the network. Where would I find radio files?
Isn't it redundant now, since you don't have the phone? Anyways there's a thread called radio fixes or something
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Not having the device anymore doesn't negate my desire to solve my problem. I might get that phone back or I my decide to pick up another unlocked device that gives me similar problems. I no longer want to sign contacts for discounted devices so I'm always on the look out for good deals on unlocked hardware I can play with. Thanks for the replies.

Well since I'm on Telus as well with the red lense defy and I checked gsm arena and a few unlock sites. They all said and indicate that phone can be used on the Telus network. Seeing as its not a phone that Telus originally sold that is why I asked about the apn. Anytime I've ever used an unlocked phone on Telus I've ways had to input the apn.
Other than that sometimes when I flash I don't always get a radio signal for some strange reason. Even changing baseband doesn't solve the problem I usually have to flash another rom and then come back to the one I want or try a different kernel. Either way I'm like you except I never would have gave it away till I solved the problem lol
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app
It was more than just a case of setting the apn. I have no problem doing that. In fact that's exactly what I did with the Rogers SIM so that I could test it's data before I let my friend have it. I tried numerous ROMs with it, none of them would allow me to connect to Telus even after choosing an appropriate baseband. Unfortunately because it wasn't a Telus phone to begin with I didn't have a working Telus radio on it. I tried flashing the Telus baseband, it would return an error. I tried flashing the entire Telus ROM, it went into a boot loop as expected. I got it back to it's stock Retail ROM, after rooting that tried a baseband switcher and still wasn't able to see connect to Telus. Though it would see the network. Best luck I had was with CM10 with the Argentina baseband which would connect to Telus until I either tried to call or text. At which point I would get an ME error message and it wouldn't connect again without a reboot. At that point I suspected that maybe this device was being blocked by some sort of IMEI filtering much as thekguy suggested above and gave up on it for now. When my friend does upgrade and returns the phone I might try again for kicks. It was a neat little phone. I'm even tempted to look for a used one that is from Telus...
Please shed some light in the errors you get while flashing the telus baseband
And if you get a boot loop after sbf flash, then wipe data and cache from stock recovery
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
I'll clarify my description of boot loop in the instance of after flashing the Telus froyo stock ROM was actually more of a soft brick. The phone became unresponsive almost immediately after turning on, blank screen, no response to button presses, essentially a brick. The only sign of life was if I pulled the battery while connected to usb the LED light would flash white for a brief second. That gave me the idea to start up an sbf flash until it got to the waiting for device message, at which point I'd plug in usb and install battery and the flash would force it into boot loader before it could go "dead"again. As far as a ROM getting stuck at the boot image, yes I know a quick wipe fixes the boot issue. At least it had for me every time I got into an endless boot process. Had to do it after recovering from the failed Telus ROM flash with the stock Retail ROM.
Thanks for the tip though. I know you are being helpful.
As far as the exact wording of the error message, I'll have to look it up when I'm back at the PC I use for modding an such... Most I can remember is it start with "ME blah blah blah" but I have a note saved with the exact line.
Cheers, Vic

If the telus baseband failed to install via cwm due to cwm incompatibility, you can manually try to copy over the baseband files included in the zip according to the directory structure of the zip
Well, this was my last idea:If this doesn't work
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Ya, that was the one thing I wish I had tried before giving up on the phone. I'd considered it but wasn't sure if it'd work. When I passed it on it wasn't rooted anymore and I'd invested so much time with getting it back to stock that I had just had enough of it at the moment. Almost regret it. If I get it back any time soon that'll be where I start again.

Hey everybody I was just wondering if it was worth to do it...
Will the overall performance of my tablet be affected to better?
I have some small experience with rooting and installing new roms on my phone, (epic 4g touch) but i know nothing of rooting and installing new roms to tablets.
Thanks

Hi, and welcome!
First sorry that you waited so long for a response. It's been a slow Sunday at XDA as far as I can tell.
And it's kinda difficult to give you an answer that everyone would agree with. But I'll give you my take on it. You could change out the words "Why do I" for "Is it worth it" in the following if you like.
Why do I root my tablet? Mainly for bootanimations, system tweaks, like the gps fix we used to have to use to get the gps even marginally functional (That's not an issue anymore, so no worries). I also like to mess with very noobish mod attempts. Noobish, but it makes me smile when I do something neat. Things like that. There are plenty more reasons but I think that should reflect the gist of it.
Why do I unlock my devices (read; install custom bootloader in this case.) and install custom roms? Mainly because of neat features that are above and beyond what the manufacturer includes. For instance the Acer Ring (Some like it, some don't.). as well as tweaks already performed by the chef, like that gps fix I mentioned. Then there is overclocking and the custom kernels.
I'm sure that you probably already know all of this, and while our tablet is really great stock and will do just fine. I think that it is improved using a custom rom. Plus, since it is a tablet rather than a phone, it isn't as critical if something goes wrong when you are goofing around installing the rom or unlocking. No one wants a brick. But it's gotta be a little less of a major problem on a tablet than a phone.
The only real downside of installing the custom bootloader that I know of would be that some users (including myself.) report a flicker and the homescreen going blank on rare occasion and the icons dissapear, but restarting the launcher fixes it. Just put a shortcut in the lockscreen to a home switcher. Thanks to loth77 for that tip. But it isn't something that everyone gets and it's not that big of a drag. I can't really think of any other negatives.
Here's probably the most important thing that you should remember. Get your CPUID in case something goes wrong. The tab is bulletproof if you have that. Here's a link to help understand the whys and hows.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624645. Remember to get the drivers from acer, and if something doesn't work try changing usb ports, usb cable, or even the pc.
That should pretty much be the long and short of it. Hope it helps. And good luck.
Hey thanks a lot, I think I might root it, Im familiar with flashing roms but the Bootloaders are new to me, can you tell me why do I need to unlock it to install a rom?
Sent from my Epic 4G Touch on Codename JoyRide using xda Premium.
If I understand the process correctly it is something about the way that the bootloader does its security checks. If you have a stock bootloader it looks for the stock rom only. If it doesn't find a rom/kernel that it expects you get to see the android on it's back. The custom bootloader doesn't mind a custom rom. If you want a technical answer maybe someone smarter than myself could explain it better. But I think that is pretty close.

And you said it, more or less
With ICS, the bootloader and boot.img communicate. A lot. Neither wish to run properly as they should. In the beginning, we hacked the ICS kernel to run on an HC bootloader. It worked and gave system somewhat RW, but is was crappy to say the least, and caused display irregularities on boot, and sometimes during operation. But when Skrilax_CZ started working on the ICS Bootloader, we could run an ICS kernel, and still get somewhat root and /system RW. But the RW was crappy, and required re-mounting /system all the time.
Having root, without /system RW, is like having a hamburger without the burger. Yeah, it kinda looks like it, but still....
Thus the "tweaked" ICS boot.img came out. Basically the same kernel, but the Zimage has some mods to it. Namely changing the part that prevented RW. And thus, the fully unlocked, fully RW system came out. And technically, you don't need busybox. Just SU. But busy box has to be there for other deals.
So now, to get the full unhindered benefit of both worlds, it's required to change bootloaders. We can do this via NVFlash, because we have the Secured Bootloader Key algorithm (SBK).
Also, HC based Roms WILL NOT run on the ICS bootloader, locked or unlocked. So if ya wanna play ball in our park, ya hafta play by our rules.
You can get your root under a stock ICS bootloader, but, you will have issues with system RW. This I promise.
Also with the unlocked bootloader, you get "fastboot" functions. Consider it your last line of defense. But for those that know how to use it, it's better than flashing certain things.
MD
For what this is worth, as a total noob to all this I decided to try the custom bootloader. Knowing from bricking a Wii once, I made a nand and a rom backup, got my CPUID using blackthund3r's ACER manager for those using ICS (just an incredible thing), and got to work.
I made an error and got hung in APX mode and initially I had at least three heart attacks when I thought I'd bricked; however I figured there had to be a way out as tablet still came on and I had done all the above. Reran Acer manager, changed my previous decision, and soon (within 5 mins) boatloader patched. I've since tried so many roms I've lost count.
Regrets? Not one. It's faster and better. Reading this thread, however, and learning that with a CPUID the tablet is bulletproof makes me feel even better! If you're a noob like me, it's a little scary, but backup, get a nand and the CPUID, Acer Mgr, follow the directions and go for it. After all I went through, if I can do it, so can you!
Yeah I flashed a rom already seens to be working great, i dont have much time right now to mess around with it but its definally better fellows, thanks

I'm honestly not sure where to post this, I found it on another forum (and that post was made about three hours ago). In any case, Samsung appears to have open sourced the stock firmware and kernel for Straight Talk's version of the Galaxy S II.
If you go to http://opensource.samsung.com/ and search of the model number - SGH-S959G - it's the only thing that comes up. The download appears to be just what it says, the uncompiled source code.
I've been looking for stock ever since I bought this phone and since I'm not exactly green when it comes to Linux and using a terminal, I'm tempted to give a crack at compiling this myself. Anybody have any experience with this? It can't be too hard...right? :silly:

You won't get the stock firmware by compiling the kernel, mate. Why do you want stock when you already have stock (original) firmware? If you're looking for unbranded, you're unlikely to find it as you have a carrier specific phone.

I'm aware of how this source code works!
IndigoAK I am the one that posted the link on AA51. The file appears to be in tar.gz format like what is used for install through odin. I have not tested it, as I am not a developer, or in need of flashing to factory firmware at this time. I posted it as I seen many people looking for it. I believe it is needed to be able to safely start making modifications for this phone, CWM, Root, custom ROMs, ect., and being able to flash back to stock if something goes wrong. Hopefully with the information out there now it will jump start development.
Edit: After further research the source code files are used to create the firmware, and these cannot be installed through Odin. Feel free to correct me if I'm still wrong.

I probably should have linked to your post. I apologize.
I just thought that posting it here on XDA might get it seen by more people who might know how to put this to use.
Hopefully somebody does put it to use. Due to the way that Straight Talked has gimped this phone, it's going to take the community to really make it worth the price they're charging for it.
I tried to link to the original post on android area 51, but as a new member I am not allowed, yet. I am just trying to get information out there, so thank you for posting it here (as I just now joined). The phone is fairly new and under advertised, but hopefully these posts will stir interest.
I was looking under the battery cover and noticed the FCC id for this phone (SGH-S959G) is A3L SGH I777. Now for everyone smarter than I. Does this mean that the phone is an i777, and would all the mods and ROMs ect. be directly compatible. Also its android 2.3.6. Version s959g UDLG1. Kernel 2.6.35.7. Any thoughts, educated opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

No.
Everything needs to be modified. The I777 rooting method works for this device, but nobody has been able to get past that as far as I'm aware. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to double reboot my phone trying to install every custom recovery image (and searching around suggests this is the case for a lot of other people) I can get my hands on and I've kept a pretty close eye on custom firmware sites - none of them have added support for this device (probably because you can't install a custom recovery image yet).
Guys I have the same problem, I tried to root my Straight Talk Galaxy SII using the AT&T root but CWM doesn't install and the root breaks the Wifi, Contacts save option, several apps like YouTube. I cannot revert back to the stock ROM due to this issue and I really could use the help.. I'm surprised that DEV teams haven't done much on the phone considering for 45 dollars a month you get really fast 7mb/s speed.
I'm willing to do whatever I can to contribute to a way of finally getting this awesome phone off of a sucky stock rom.
Thanks everyone!
I was just curious if it could be fully flashed to stock i777 GB. As it appears to be the exact same hardware. Completely start over making it the at&t i777.
