Hey all, mega n00b here
My story; I was running Froyo on my P1000 until last week, Kies told me there was an upgrade available to 2.3.3 GB which I undertook.
I took exception to the navigation button lights always on. I looked and searched all over for fixes and tried in vain to root my tab. I even installed a new Kernel that was supposed to be rooted - it installed but no root!? PLUS my WIFI was now f***ed and either would not connect or continuously dropped.
Anyway, the installed kernel had CWM Recovery in it.
I found another post that led me to the Overcome ROM & Kernel.
I installed the Kernel first and was shi**ing bricks when all that happened was the word "andriod" flashing on the screen!
After friggin about with CWM I found I could load the ROM from the external SD which I duly did and Voila a working Tab, and boy is it slick.
Now, I have two questions - any and all help greatly recieved:
1.) What is up with the website for the install guide and other files?
2.) What do I need to do to install a modem and which one is most suitable for my tab I am in UK on Vodafone.
Device Details:
Model Number: GT-P1000
F/W version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 Overcome-v4.0.0 #40
Build number: Overcome 7 Series v4.0.0
IDK and no
OK
So, no modem needed? ...I've not tested the 3G data on the Tab yet.
I found the issue with the w/s...

Need to know what HBOOT you have...power off the phone then turn back on while holding the down button on the volume and power together. Once the bootloader comes up it should list an Hboot version. Knowing this will help determine what the best root method is. my guess is you have the latest hboot based on your info posted but we need to be sure.
need to boot into recovery and find out what your hboot is, once that is known just navigate to any of the HBOOT threads in the dev section and viola

I have searched online for hours looking for how to do a lag fix on my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.
Phone Details:
Model: SGH-T959
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband version T959UVKA6
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.UVKA6
I tried using OCLF, update.zip, tegrak.
I already have superuser on it.
I also already rooted it with superoneclick.
Please help me find a lagfix because when i type and use other apps, it tends to lag.
First, flash to a Gingerbread release.
Then, follow this guide:

Hello guys. I flashed hyperdroid 7 androidmeda then been with it for a year till I decided to flashed to Cyanogenmod 10.2 yesterday but some problem popped up. My GS2 can't find any signal, IMEI disappeared from "About phone". I tried many ways to solve it but all had failed so I flashed again with 4.0.4 base rom (I9100DXLPF - Thailand) successfully and planning to flash it to ERobot version 24(android 4.0.4) since it's quite popular in my country and that leads to my question
1. Since I flashed 4.0.4 base rom does that mean my device got unrooted?
2. If it's unrooted then should i flash Siyah kernel 5.0.1 to get it root again?
3. Does Siyah kernel already has CWM? or do I have to flash CWM in later?
4. In the case that ERobot rom can't function like I expect it to and I might want to go back to hyperdroid 7 which has android version 2.3.6 can I just use "install zip from SDCard in CWM" because at the time I should have CWM in already and with Siyah kernel.
Thank you in advance

WRONG FORUM
This is N2 forum and not S2!
Hello,
Sorry for the Noob questions but here goes... Device info first, then the questions
Rooted T989 with Bombaridier ROM (from galaxys2root . com)
ROM Specifics -
Current Firmware Version (per Kies) - PDA:KID / PHONE:KID / CSC:KID
Android Version - 2.3.5
Baseband Version - UVKID
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.11 (Synergy kernel)
...and the questions
1. Can I update via Kies since ROM is not Stock and device is Rooted, or will it fail. ( I get prompted by Kies everytime I connect the phone, asking me if I want to upgrade the firmware version )
2. If successful, will I lose root after flashing
3. Will new ROM contain all the T-Mobile bloatware and other crap that I don't want or need
4. Does anyone know which Android version (4.?.?) was last released for this phone / correlates to this firmware that it will get updated to from Kies? PDA:MC6 / PHONE: MC6 / CSC:MC6 (TMB) is what Kies is offering
5. If answer to question #3 is "Yes, bloatware and other useless crap will be there", than would someone be so kind as to recommend a fast, stable, bug-free JB ROM with good battery life for this phone?
Many thanks in advance, and apologies for the multitide of questions.
Regards.

1. If your phone is detected by KIES, the phone should update no problem.
2. You will lose root but it is very easy to gain it back.
3. Yes it will contain bloatware. Currently I am using Speed Stock Reloaded.
4. The android version is 4.1.2
FYI...
Flashed the phone via Kies update with no problems. Lost root, but re-rooted. Used Titanium Backup to backup and delete all the crap that was not needed, and created a backup with ROM Manager. Phone was running great with Stock 4.1.2 but then flashed with SuperNexus ROM for a more vanilla Android experience since I was giving the phone to my wife. Very fast, stable and problem free ROM if anyone is interested.
Thanks for the information. Much obliged
Howdy folks,
I'd like to turn this phone into a WiFi hotspot for my house- and that is ALL I will be using it for.. so my most important needs are reliability (up-time) and rock-solid WiFi tethering performance. Currently the phone is running:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: T989UVLE1
Build Number: IML74K.UVLE1
I do not think it is rooted, I think I just ODIN'd it to the latest Stock ROM available at the time when back when my girlfriend was using it. My first thought was to just find the latest stock ROM (if any) and ODIN to that, then find a reliable root method to flash a good recovery like TWRP, etc... then put the most stable ROM I can find that has reliable tethering... Do you guys have any guides that you can point me to? And any ROM, recovery, etc recommendations for me? Thanks in advance!!! :good: :highfive:
