Very well explanation and recommendation rclxms.gif
Really appreciate your effort and willing spend time explain this useful information which we may not know or hear about this before.
I hear alot abt "protected bootloaders" but still blur and not really understand abt this. Due to this, i still fear to change to any custom ROM.
How we know our tab contain "protected bootloaders"? Is it safe to apply Chainfire and Rotohammer way as above described?
What are your previous experience flash to custom ROM?  smile.gif

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 : Read post#2 in this ste, self explanatory about protected bootloaders

But now with the patch release , it is actually safe to flash . However as usual you are warned that there is still a chance you might brick. I don't blame the developers as it is just a statement to protect themselves from nay complains. After all it is at your own risk

But it is highly recommended that if possible find a rom where the bootloaders are not signed ; these rom cooks remove it. A very good example is Rotohammer v4 which is very well recommended by many. I am using his rom. Source :

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763

One advantage of using Rotohammer rom, you can easily put in a Clockwork Recovery based on Chainfire CF Root, which is 100% compatible :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734

This Clockwork recovery is very important as it allows you to create a NANDROID of full system/data/apps backup of your TAB> If you were to flash any kernel or rom and things go wrong and you are stuck, you can easily restore back your TAB to your last status ( with all your apps/data/themes etc intact )

I suspect digi bought the device on bulk to maximize profit, not by demand. Thats why galaxy 3 is no longer offered.

Today went down to Digi Center at Beach St. to get a refund and asked the Salesperson what happened. He only can tell me they received a memo from Digi which came from Samsung that the SGT is temporary discontinued withthout any further explanation. vmad.gif

Well no new toy for CNY for me.. sweat.gif

There is no effect. Rooting will NEVER and can NEVER spoil/brick your phone. Flashing roms maybe. Just make sure your TAB is at least 70% charge. I have pointed out the few points of rooting benefit in the earlier section.

Called up Seng Heng and no such promotion as they are still selling at RM2699. Was wondering which branch that you get this offer.

The promotion is definitely on.

Confirm there is such promo. RHB platinum can even get RM1999. Citibank RM2099. Problem is stock inconsistency.

Buy online from M3Shoppe Msian site :
http://www.m3shoppe.com/index.php?page=sho...emart&Itemid=26

I paid RM99 for it when launch last year at PC Fair but now price is RM146

OR you try to google and find your free version - I am sure if you try hard enough can find it though I do not encourage such practice
