3/3/2011 - I've been away for several weeks, sorry about that. I've also moved on and will be futzing with my shiny new Xoom. I will not be working on Tab projects for the immediate future, it at all.
Been fun
There seems to be a genuine lack of activity on the Sprint version of the Tab. Hopefully this will allow folks to start making themes and ROM's for the Sprint flavor of the tablet.
This package was created via the "Rotobackup" Method pioneered by Rotohammer and maniac3389.
As far as I can tell, I'm the only one who has done this on the Sprint-flavor of the Tab, so this is all beta and VERY RISKY. I do not recommend using this unless you are VERY familiar with flashing Android devices.
NOTE: This is ALMOST STOCK. The Rotobackup process did not dump the modem.bin file properly. To address this, I used the modem from the Epic 4G (SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL). This modem effectively disables GPS. There is no known fix yet.
Updates:
12/13/2010 - Looks like the package borks GPS. You cannot acquire satellites after flashing.
12/29/2010 - GPS is still broke if you use the package containing the modem. Looks like we will need to wait until an update is released. Feel free to keep troubleshooting the issue, I'll update the OP if somebody figures it out.
12/29/2010 - Uploaded package WITHOUT the modem
12/29/2010 - Introduced Zypher, a fully deodexed updater.
WARNING!!! YOU CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE VERY EASILY.
THESE ARE FOR SPRINT VERSIONS OF THE TAB.
Instructions:
Backup your settings with Titanium Backup
Do a factory reset: Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Turn on USB debugging: Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging
Extract the RAR archive
Open "Odin3 v1.31.exe"
Reboot into Download Mode (adb reboot download)
Do not check Re-Partition option
Click PIT, select pit.pit
Click PDA, Select .tar file
Click Start
Downloads
Download 1 - Stock, no modem - Sprint Only! Use this if you want to get back to stock (rooted). ALL USERS SHOULD TRY THIS PACKAGE FIRST! If you still have problems, then you need to use the modem package which kills GPS (Download 2).
Download 2 - Stock, with modem - Sprint Only! Includes modem from Epic 4G - Only use if your Tab will not boot, this package will kill GPS
THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE STOCK MODEM BACK AFTER YOU FLASH!!
Download Zypher v1 - Sprint Only! Deodexed\zipaligned. I recommend running a factory reset before applying the package. Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Zypher Details:
Based off DJ30
Deodexed and zip aligned
Removed startup/shutdown sounds
Added Busybox installer
Added Titanium Backup
Added Z4Root
Added AD-Free hosts file
To do list:
Work in the full screen fix (via Spareparts)
Replace launcher with LauncherPro
Theme everything
Nice work, not that Sprint would allow it, but did this enable dialer functions since it is using an alternate modem file?
Awesome, thanks!
Now who's got a busted Tab to try this on!
Not sure if this is any help, but here's a system dump someone posted....
http://forum.androidcentral.com/galaxy-tab/44323-us-galaxy-tab-sprint-system-dump.html
Dunno. There is no dialer installed and it gives the standard engrish statement "Cannot make or take a call using Galaxy Tab"
I did some comparisons between the sprint tab and the epic, and the modems are identical. I just flashed this and it worked flawlessly.
Thanks again man I appreciate it. You have ressurected my tab.
Wow, maybe I can finally root

Excellent, glad it worked for you.
Nevermind.
I am going to try this now... I had terminal emulator crash on me and it messed up the filesystem or something. My Sprint Galaxy Tablet just says "Samsung" and glows after the intro animation.
I did manage to get the tablet into downloading mode by:
1) turning tablet off
2) holding Volume UP key and power key at the same time until it turns on
and I get little android man with a shovel that says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"
wish me luck
Why dont you just wipe it and see if that works first?

how would I do that? It won't actually boot up.. Just shows the samsung into screen and says on a screen that has samsung glowing. It will blink after a while and vibrate, then go back to glowing at me.
HOLY CRAP that worked!!!!! I was just about to give up! Notice the many hours between my last post and now.. (6:50am now LOL)
I had to do some other things not outlined in this thread to get my computer to see the Galaxy Tablet in the Device Manager. Basically I tried these things, (try them all if you have trouble, I'm not sure what or which actually worked):
tried to wipe from boot up (turn off, hold volume up and power until it turns on and release buttons)
that didn't work
install Kies and Samsung(android) SDK and JDK (java developer kit)
that didn't seem to work
install Samsung PC Studio 7
ah hah! I see you there in the device manager now!
power tablet off and get to download menu (hold volume down and power until you see the android holding a shovel at the download menu)
Load up Odin, YAY It connects and detects the COM!!
Select the PIT and TAR, start, it downloads and reboots and tab loaded right up!!
Best of all I think it also got rid of the Sprint Activation nag notice screen. It hasn't popped up yet and it has been a good 10 min or so! That would be a nice bonus
You saved me so much time and $$ thanks a TON!!
((side note, Odin loads up and displays GT-1000 not my SPH-P100... I edited my odin.ini to reflect the correct model. not a big deal at all, but I was getting confused at first as to why Odin was saying wrong model, thinking it was doing a detection when it was really just blindly echoing info from the ini file))
Good stuff.
You'd think Sprint would want to leak the firmware to keep people from exchanging/RMA'ing devices. One thing is certain with Android, people will hack the hell out of it.
My bad on the label. The top title in Odin is just that, a title. It doesn't doesn't affect the reload process at all. I'd change it, but uploading another 200MB file isn't on my list of activities today

THANK YOU!
Same thing happened to me this morning as ManaKill described...I had terminal emulator crash on me and it messed up the filesystem or something. My Sprint Galaxy Tablet endlessly glowed "Samsung" after the intro animation - thought I was DONE. Tried wiping but no go. I followed ZoinksS2K directions and it worked flawlessly just as infamousjax described. Thank you!!! No telling how many Tabs have been ressurected thanks to this post.
Have you guys been able to get a gps lock since doing this? I can't get one worth ****.

Okay, so I looked through forums and did not see this posted. I am new to Android phones and custom ROM, this entire process. I am a proud owner of a 1 day old Epic 4g. I attempted last night to upgrade to Bonsai 2.0.1.
I did the one click root, I also unstalled CWM3, I used odin to install PIT and modem files, and then I flashed the rom Bonsai 2.0.1. Phone booted up fine and every thing appears to be working fine. BUT when I go into "about phone" this is what I see
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: S700.0.5S.DK17 (I thought this should be DK28)
Kernal version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: Bonsai4All_2.0.1
Harware Version: D700.0.5
So my question is. Is everything okay and I am just trippin for no reason. Or did I screw something up and I am really not on DK28 version ROM and how do I fix it.
Also any suggestions on Themes that work well with Bonsai. I dont see any of the cool bonsai tree for backgrounds and any ideas or Mods for extending battery life would be greatly appreciated.
Bonsai is a de-bloatware stock rom. I know glass blue&blue theme and emotionless beast v 1.0 themes work on Bonsai 2.0.1. If you want the dk28 modem, you will need to ODIN the dk28 modem. So, backup your data, then do the ODIN, then reroot, re-CWM v3, reflash Bonsai.
On a side note, I believe someone posted a way to install the modem without ODIN, but I don't remember where it is and I don't know how to do it without ODIN.
Can you tell me why do i need that modem DK28, as of right now my phone seems to be working just fine.
Also thank you for the theme suggestions.. Now I just have to learn how to install those also.

You don't need it but its preferred. the modem is the radio controlling all your signals.
There is a dk28 modem you can flash using odin without loosing data but if your happy with the dk17 modem there ita really no need to goto dk28. Wjy fix something that's not broken?

I can't link you from my phone but look for the ACS de-odexed rom. Thats where you will find just the modem
Android Creative Syndicate- From spontaneous ingenuity, comes creative brilliance
http://k0nane.info/rom/acs-dk28-odin-modem.zip. That's the latest version of Odin, the modem file and pit you need. If you flash the modem.tar file you put the file in PDA. If you flash modem.bin you put it in phone. The pit fil gies in the pit.
That is PERFECT..And I see what I did wrong.. I put the moden.tar file in the phone area and not the PDA section.
Okay, so in order to fix this..Do I have to just run Odin again and update it. Or after I run odin..I have to reflash the ROM again..and by doing this will I loose all my setting and things of that nature.
THANKS EVERYONE in this forum yall have been great with info and quick responses. Its great to see such collaboration. I should have been on a droid phone along time ago.

Does anyone know if we need to Unroot this phone before we can transfer a number on to it?
I bought the new HTC EVO LTE and I want to give this phone to my daughter who has a Samsung Moment (still). I will unroot if I have to but just wondered if anyone already knew or tried this.

Historically yes. On my Evo 4g and Hero they had to be running stock for sprint to change the number. Unsure on E4GT but better to take it in unrooted just to be "safe".
You'd probably be OK as long as its on something stock touchwiz even if its rooted.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
No you don't need to unroot if you do it yourself. Make sure both phones are turned off and the "new" phone has had a factory reset done beforehand. You can do it yourself online on sprint's site if you log into your account. If you have problems, you can get online chat with customer service too. Don't tell them that anything is rooted and don't act like you know a thing or two about phones. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are on a mostly stock gb rom. This is in case they need to tell you to enter a code in the dialer screen to do a reset or change primary or secondary phone numbers or other misc things. No sweat.
Ok, here's the thing. I dropped my SGS2 into a drink. it was 99% covered. pulled the battery dried it off and it was buggy for 2 days but now every thing appears to be ok.
except it won't let me Factory reset/wipe data.
the option is there but when I select it, the phone just boots me out to the previous screen.
it does let me wipe the cache...
I even re-installed the Recovery and tried again.
side note: after the drink incident the yellow triangle went away on it's own.
Download an app called "Get My MSL", and write down the 6 digit code that app kicks out.
In the dialer enter ##786#, and this will take you to the reset screen. Hit menu, then reset, and enter in the MSL code they gave you. This will do the same as a data wipe / cache wipe, but will also clear your NVRAM, which is where your programming info is stored.
You can perform the device swap on your own on Sprint's website.
You will never need to unroot your phone.
No unroot needed like others have told you but you just need to be on a stock rom so that the ## codes will work when you are prompted to use them. Other than that you will be fine I have done it a million times online and never unrooted to swap esn

I was running Android Syndicate. I downloaded a stock ROM. and tried to transfer via the Sprint web site. Everything was fine until it told me I needed to pick a new phone plan.
I then opened a chat window and the associate transferred the number and add the the $10 fee to the account instead of picking a new plan.
my daughter is setting it up now and is very happy.

Why mobile odin and then flashing el26cwm is simple and agat has made it pretty easy to get his nicely themed stock rom working on your phone. Hey do whats safe for you but I would say most are on custom roms in here especially with the loads of choices now out there for us.

Thanks for the guide. I got as far as starting the backup in QPST, but got an error.
SPC given could not unlock the phone. The phone will not respond for 10 seconds.
Guess I need to try on an insecure kernel, but can't find one for our phone. The two that used to be on samsung-updates.com are dead links as of right now.
I got the same SPC lock error.
I believe that is because you need the MSL. This should work for you phone credit to shiftr182 for this guide.

Tried on both stock and insecure kernel. Tried PRL/Profile update + reboot for kicks, no change. Not sure what else to try, googling doesn't help.
edit: Do you know of anyone on Verizon that has successfully backed up? I checked their forum and they only have a guide for doing the IMEI injection. I'm assuming the 7 successful Verizon restores you have listed in your original thread are restores by injection and not from a backup?

That is correct 6 were through injection 1 was through a backup. There are however plenty of Verizon folks who were able to do the backup without any problems. They also however didn't need their MSIL and were able to use the default spc of 000000. I will have to dig a bit deeper for Sprint. I prefer us all safe and not just 3 carriers. Thank you for your efforts

Sounds like a problem i had before. It is your baseband version. To fix you need to flash a stock/ish rom. In dialer do ##786# it will reset everything. Once you perform hands free activation you should be back up and running. After that make sure you flash a good mc2 baseband. After that you should be fine.
Quick question. You are on sprint and only flashing roms for the sprint phone? I have this happen when working on a couple ports from other note 2 variants.

Steps to hopefully fix your issues. Read through and download and copy all links to external sdcard before starting.
1. Perform a backup of everything (rom, internal sdcard)
2. Flash this twrp file from your current recovery http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0ltespr.img
3. Under reboot options choose reboot recovery
4. Now in twrp choose wipe/format and select data, system, cache, and internal scard (/data/media)
5. Go back and select the data wipe option then type yes
6. When done go to reboot menu and reboot recovery
7. Now install Billards back to stock mc2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 but do not reboot and do not wipe anything
8. Now install this to gain root (do not use twrp's root option) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1584076&d=1356201390
9. Now you can reboot. The red light will come on and phone will display weird stuff then reboot.
10. Now it will take some time to boot but you will be on stock mc2 with everything updated to latest mc2 setting.
11. Dial ##786# phone will reboot
12. Dial ##"your msl"# and change both number sets to 10 0's once done phone will reboot
13. Do Hands free activation. If that does not work dial *228 and let that run if phone does not reboot reboot it yourself.
Now if everything went according to plan you should now have full service. Since this updated everything to factory stock mc2 you will need to install a custom recovery again. Also the mc2 baseband provided with the rom has always been stable to for me. Since I am flashed to cricket I had to reflash the phone everytime this happened to me but thankfully I flash it myself so it was easy.

Right after I rommed the ASOP latest nightly I called to make sure it was working fine and it was..Let ggogle put all my applications on and update them and went to bed,..When I woke up there was no network...So i used recovery and used 3 or 4 of my backups but none of them solved the network problem. I opened up backups to see if there was a file missing and I cant find any...Im willing to send some $ if someone can help me. By the way this has happened 3 times before but all sprint guys do is get me another phone and Im afraid thats going to be stopping soon..I just need to find out why this is happening so it doesnt happen again..thanks

If the method above doesn't work do you happen to have a backup of your nv items or your efs partitions?

OK:cyclops: did everything again just exactly as prescribed when i dialed the ##786# it does not reboot but go to a page that says rtn on top with 2 options view or reset...that's where I'm at ...I rebooted myself and did the ##157680# which is my msl # and it does nothing. So I pushed reset and a screen says enter msl # and i did ..nothing then I put in 0000000000 and nothing happens..this is where I'm at...thanks for your help I appreciate all
Try the hands free activation if that does not work try *228.

This may help I believe it sets your partitions right. This is for 4.1.2 MC2.

Do have IMEI under about phone/status? Does it display your number or anything?
Sounds like you need to Odin flash a stock firmware with tz, param and modem..With a pit file so it flashes to the correct partition..
I'm on Verizon and this happened to me..lost everything under status..I flashed what I stated above and it fixed everything. .
If that doesn't work flash your KIES image and after re root and unlock your phone:thumbup:

Did you try and flash the zip I posted? It sets your carrier partitions! It is for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2...I've used it...it works. Just saying it couldn't hurt to try.

What about flashing the mk4 rom of your choice, then flash the newest mk4 modem..? I have the file if needed. Works great!

the phone is only 2 week old with the latest kit-kat installed from them..I think I read somewhere that if you go backwards to and older rom like mk2 it screws the phone up because of the knox??? anyway yes I flashed it but honestly Ive done so many things ,so many times,,,every modem, mk2, mk4, rooted , unrooted , different recovery...I even got the note 2 toolkit updated donated version...nothing is working,perhaps the order in which i do these things may be off but when the phone is supposed to reboot it doesnt , when its supposed to show a number it doesnt..actually the more I do to it the worse it gets..It will go into recovery and odin mode, but some of the things that were sure fire arent even working...Yes as long as still have the phone i would try it can you send me a link for those files..thanks
