That's not 'jailbreak' for android but 'rooting'. Jailbreak is the term for apple.

Why don't you try cook rom ?
Recommended - Overcome 1.1.1 or Modaco R1
Put it on top of a EXT4 kernel file system - your TAB will be zippier - recorded a 70% improvement in quadrant scores - this figure just for show , realistically you don't get 70% improved in performance but the improvement is very obvious
Check these up at :

There are quite a number of variety in the market. Just go to LowYat or Digital Mall ( PJ Section 14 ) - the choices are there. Cheap ones cost around RM 45 to RM60 while the expensive ones around RM 180

There are 2 types of silicon cases : soft rubber-like ( cheaper ) and stiffer hard resin type. The latter has 2 variations - a really hard type and a softer but you can still feel the hardness. Important thing to observe when getting the cheaper types is the edges - I noted those being sold at some counter for around RM50 is good but the edges are rough and sharp - should avoid such. Can always bargain - those cheaper types you should be able to get around RM 40

I bought a Melkro leather case for better protection. It is made of genuine leather - first quoted price was RM220 ; bargain finally I got it for RM 180. Very nicely made and is genuine leather. You can get other alternatives but made of psuedo leather for about RM 90 - again plenty of variety to choose

[attachmentid=2030352]

[attachmentid=2030354][attachmentid=2030353]

You can buy online too for  US$69.99 - have more choice on colors an skin types : http://www.melkco.com/scripts/main/viewite...KBKLC-GTAB.html

Found this at Pertama Complex (outlet no 74, ground floor - sunnychai works there), price around RM200 plus...

Just need a comment here about Bootloader Patch which i installed today.The results are below:

Status information

Device (reported by firmware)
GT-P1000
European/International/Unbranded Galaxy Tab

Bootloaders - SIGNED !
Signed: PBL, SBL, Kernel
Not signed: SBL_Backup
Assessment: Can only flash SIGNED firmwares

Patch bootloaders
DANGEROUS! Flashes unprotected bootloaders

Before that, i've already flashed my SGT with RotoHammer JME.

Roto JME comes with unprotected bootloaders ; that's why you can still flash it. If you wish to flash any firmware from www.samfirmware.com for JM6/9/A/C/D/E/F ROMs specifically - you might need to use the patch to patch it first before flashing

Since you are on JME - why don't you upgrade to JMI instead which is the latest ??

how i'm gonna do that? still noob on flashing... notworthy.gif

Got pop-up message like this:

Sorry!

The application English Dictionary (process com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Anyone can figure this out ? Try to uninstall this apps, but no option to do it in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.

No. Select PATCH at bottom of screen to unlock bootloader. Reset TAB then you can now proceed to upgrade to ext4.

shinzan : If you have reflash to Roto JMI - check again to see whether your radio/modem file is OK ?? you will see no data detection and settings/mobile network is greyed.  As JMI zip file does not come with the radio/modem builtin files. If so you have to reflash again using Odin 1.7 - just falsh the radio file in PHONE - select no repartition, no need PIT just select PDA. Get this JMF radio file :

http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-...eband-download/

I'd advise to better flash Roto JME if TAB gets stuck as JME will give you back a full working rom to use temporary . Or if you wish to use back JMI when flashing include in the JMF radio file in PHONE


hmm...will do that sir...thank u very much for ur kindly help...FYI, my external micro SD capacity is 8GB...still not enough ka ? hmm.gif

Copy from XDA forum:

EXT4 version

To use the EXT4 version (i.e. you are already running EXT4 or you wish to convert)...

* Download the EXT4 TAR file from below
* Flash using ODIN (version 1.7, do not select the 'repartition' option)
* IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE TO EXT4: Your device won't reboot normally - that's OK, just turn it off (hold down power button for 5 seconds)
* IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE TO EXT4: Load recovery - turn the device on with 'volume up' held
* IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE TO EXT4: Your device will now perform the EXT4 conversion - depending on the volume of your data, this can take a while, so be patient
* Reboot, you're done!
* Optionally download the kernel modules zip (for TUN/CIFS) and copy to a location of your choice

what does the last instruction mean ? kinda blur on this...plus, when flash using ODIN, where to put that EXT4 TAR file ? PIT, PDA, PHONE or CSC ?

These are optional files. You flash it under recovery mode after you have flash the kernel R3. Somebody mentioned several posts down that if you don't understand this, then you won't need it. I don't really understand too - so I disregarded it

Anyway I try to explain in layman's terms : TUN ( aka tunnel)  is more for those users who works with OpenVPN systems. CIFS is Common Internet File System  is started by and considered a  political attempt by Microsoft in the mid to late 90's to rename the "mapping drives" to be part of SMB ( Server Message block ) to something that sounds like they've "taken over the world". At the time, there was  the argument that FTP or NFS were just as valid contenders as SMB for that name, especially since FTP works way better "over the internet" than either SMB or NFS. If all this sound like Greek then just ignore it - you don't need it

sounds very technical for me....but a very good info too... notworthy.gif

FYI, i'm changing to EXT4 now...

Backup complete!
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
Restoring datadata...
Restoring .android_secure...
Restoring cache...
sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore if /sd-ext.

Restore complete!


and finally, successfully upgrade to EXT4.

What ROM are you on now ?

You need to install the free app Bluetooth FIle Transfer if you wish to transfer files between your TAB to other bluetooth devices eg smartphones, PC, MAC etc. My TAB can work well connecting and exchanging files with my other Android smartphone Dell Streak, Windows Mobile HD2, MacBook Air and my iMAC.

To have successful  connection to other BT devices :
Settings/Wireless & Network/Bluetooth - make sure Make Device Visible/or Discoverable is selected
*
If i'm not mistaken, my Tab using RotoHammer JMI v2...should i upgrade/change to another ROM ?

Before this, i can send files thru bluetooth without having to install that apps... hmm.gif

So sir benny, can i proceed with this ROM ? - http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-...online-kitchen/
