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...

EDIT: Tested 3G and all is perfect!
Hi all
I've been seaching the web and XDA but I cant seem to find a solution to my problem.
I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM:
Android version: 4.01
Baseband: I9250XXKK1
KERNEL: 3.0.1-ga052f63 / android [email protected] # 1
Version: ITL41F.I9250XWKK9
The phone is rooted as well.
My problem is, that everytime I try to upgrade my ROM and / or Kernel to 4.02 / 4.03 or a tweaked version of 4.04, I get Radio dropouts.
50% of the time a have a signal and 3g as well, but the sudently everything drops out for like 2 min, and then It'll all come back?
The only way my phone is stable is with the 4.01 kernel as descibed.
Is this b.c. I need a special ROM and/or KERNEL for my phone (I live in Denmark)
Please help me out
Best reg.

Solution:
I had this exact same issue with stock kernel using asop 4.0.3 from team klang, I tried multiple radios and still no luck however switching to this kernel helps for some reason:

Good luck
Problem solved!

I am having trouble understanding my problem. I have been on a 4.1.1 ROM for the longest time and I decided to take the plunge to 4.2.
I have attempted to install 2 seperate ROMs but I can only get 3G service on my phone. I did install the ROMs correctly (wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, let phone settle, etc). I also attempted to change my network modes. Finally, I tried, on the recommendation of someone from a ROM thread, to try and download a big file that would "kick-start" my 4G service but to no avail. This has happened across 2 ROMs; this is why I am asking for some insight here instead of the ROM threads directly.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Useful Info:
Stock Kernel
4.1.1 ROM I was using here - Full 4G coverage
First 4.2 ROM I tried here
Second 4.2 ROM I tried here
Final Note: my highest internet speed tests appear to be 7.56 mb/s down & 1.55 mb/s up on the 4.2 ROM.
Re: [Q] 4G Service on 4.2 ROM
You need to flash the latest modem. Search and read.

Ya know, I actually searched through the forums for a few hours this morning, and I was hesitant to post something because I was almost positive that someone like you would jump all over me for not searching.
Also, where might one find the information that says going from a 4.1.1 ROM to a 4.2.1 ROM will require a new modem to get 4G service? Please, show me the way because apparently I don't know how to search or read.
Let's not start a pissing match. The answer is correct.
How were you supposed to know you needed a new modem? There is no way to know, but many people have had this issue recently. So, searching for the right thing, I guess
Your second rom you tried has a large Q&A Thread I made http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36890819#post36890819 that itsmikeramsay put in the OP and in my thread I cover that it is something known and what to do.
and in the last few pages of the Illusion thread it is discussed lol.
So you know, your coverage is no different then before, it just doesn't show a "4g" or "H+"
searched "no 4g" in the illusion thread and this is what I got... a whole bunch of posts lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=132106205

Fair enough! You're completely right; I did not search correctly. My apologies
I did, however, use the recommended Team Sonic Modem Flasher, flashed the modem that said "(latest)" at the end of it, and I still have no 4G icon. Do I need to flash the ABSOLUTE most recent modem listed here as the absolute latest?

No worries, and I have never had the issue so... I am going off but what I've read people report. They say they flashed the latest radio/modem and it was fixed. Also, the only time H+ will show is when data is being transferred (used) during Idle it shows 3g.

Thanks! That was what I was looking for. I figured out that you have to flash the LATEST modem on the page; you cannot use the Team Sonic flasher because it does not have the latest modems loaded into it.
DocHoliday made the Sonic flasher obsolete. That big sticky thread has everything.
Got a strange issue i cant seem to find any answers for.
My WiFi seems to be running slow and unresponsive at random times.

KRT160.
Is my Kernel incorrect or? It is a fresh loaded 4.4 and everything else runs 100% Perfect.
Any idea?
Any of my fellow Canadians have a good radio for Telus? My signal is real flaky since they rolled out the last update.I'm running Skynote Air 4.3. Thanks.

You didn't say which modem you were on, but here are all three four radios released at this point. There should be a new one soon for the KitKat update.
I317MVLALJ2 - 4.1.1 initial release
I317MVLBMA3 - 4.1.2 BMA3 update
I317MVLUCMK5 - 4.3 CMK5 update
I317MVLUDNF1 - 4.4.2 DNF1 update
Quick questions: when you say flaky, do you mean it loses signal for ~10-30 seconds then reconnects as if nothing happened? Which bootloader are you on?

Thanks for the response. I'm still on 4.1.2 Bootloader. Places I used to get signal, I no longer do. Can't even make calls in those locales. Think this has to do with the recent update from Telus I think. I've flashed the new Skynote Air Note3 and the modem is 1317MVLUCMK5.
