Rooting will never cause such issues. Papago install does not need root.
It is obvious internal SD card is corrupted causing boot failure Refer page 1 on Rom flashing how to revive the tab. Go to download mode and flash rotohammer jme to revive it. Make sure select pit n repartition. You will lose all your 3rd part apps, data, setting etc. Basically you will get a new tab in factory state |

jmi also can but i remember jmi don't have the phone modem file. If you choose jmi you need to add in a sepearate modem file , choose jmf. The link to jmf modem in page 1 too. Flash jmi n jmf modem sametime
After you flash jme or jmi and tab revive you can flash another Rom you need Precautionary step before flashing any other Rom.do check and patch botloader see page 1 on such steps or refer my blog on this subject Samfirmware are official builds of the various roms. You can flash such but make sure your bootloader is unlock or you will brick your tab |

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Jun 15 2011, 01:14 PM) Sorry, not familiar with rotohammer. Normally when I have weird errors or problems, I will boot to CWM and wipe cache and dalvik cache and also fix permissions. If still same, I will restock, meaning I flash to a safe version of GB as given by the Overcome team. Usually 100% success rate in resolving issues. He doesn't have cwm recovery installed. So your advise using cwm cannot help him. Anyway he just PM me has flash GB Rom from samfirmware and is ok nowLook for Gingerbread Stock-Safe V3 at http://overcome.mimzo.com/?page_id=558. Instructions at http://overcome.mimzo.com/?page_id=64  |

Pitbull I faced similar issues and gets frequent pm on flashing overcome when your instructions are so clear. I always refer them back to your guide. Sometimes dont understand why can't they just read it . My advise is read it, read it again and again before attempting to flash.
Stuffs that I postup in page 1 and also in my other officialthreads , many users never bother to read and ask same questions . My PM is neverending answering question and issues which are posted on page 1. Also many users just refused or don't know how to use SEARCH TOPIC bottom of page. |

This is my personal assessment about Honeycomb, having used it on my Acer Iconia. I'd say HC is still in its infancy stage and lots need to be done. Other than a revamp UI which looks slicker and slightly bit more user friendly, nothing else impress me. Still love old Froyo anytime.
So guys even the TAB cannot run HC - you will not miss anything. One of the biggest gripe on present HC is market issues - seems to be solved but intermittently access to apps is still limited - dunno why - everyone is blaming Google and Google has acknowledge they are working on it. I guess this is causing all the different results I see every few days. And HC is said to need dual core chips to work better and have better optimization of apps - so I cannot imagine how the Tab will perform if HC is on it. Having HC on the Tab will probably make you more frustrated. Putting in a turbo charger to an Accord 2.4 will never match a similar spec BMW 523 - theoretically yes but practically the driving experience will be way below expectations This post has been edited by benny888: Jun 16 2011, 06:33 AM |

As a rough analogy present honeycomb is just like windows Vista. Lauunch with plenty of grandeur but at end users groan in agony over its bloated software and poor performance. But i believe wait few more months this HC vista will bloom into windows 7. Just have to wait for the improvement as the potential is there. Most important too developers must support this HC OS or we will be using apps underoptimized for it

QUOTE(danieloo @ Jun 16 2011, 10:50 AM) From home Press : Menu > Setting > Wireless & Network > Mobile Network > Network Mode > Select WCDMA Only JJ1 is the very first early generation modem file. You are probably right - flashing to JPZ or even JMF modem could be betterI am also using Umobile3G. It works flawless. But I am not sure your Modem version (JJ1) suitable for Umobile3G. I am using JPZ version & JM3 before. Both work flawless.... HTH. Added on June 16, 2011, 11:45 am QUOTE(exp007 @ Jun 16 2011, 10:11 AM) Hi guys, I'd suggest next time, if you ever wish to do this again, just flash straight to Overcome 1.6. This is a 2-in 1 solution - cahnge kernel based on ext4 and a recovery installation. The methods you listed were for those early users when Overcome rom than was still infancy stage using RFS file systemGot my SGT back in December last year. Found it abit laggy these days, so decided to change the file system to EXT4. These were the steps I did: 1. Root SGT using zroot - done within few seconds 2. Check if bootloader is signed or not - not signed 3. Installed Titanium, made backup and copied to 8GB ext SD card. 4. Charged battery to 100% 5. Plugged in to PC (on Windows Vista, with Samsung USB drivers installed) once and wait until drivers recognized tab. 6. Put SGT into download mode 7. Flashed using Odin (p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm). Waited for 5 mins, then unplugged from PC. Reboot tab. 8. SGT started converting to EXT4 9. After like 20mins, menu came up with few option, I selected reboot tab. 10. SGT seems to be hanging on screen showing Samsung & Galaxy Tab (bricked?). Unable to reboot or reset using Power + Volume Up button. 11. Plug in again to PC, then flash again using Odin (p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm) 12. Odin says PASS, SGT reboot by itself and seems to be working fine. 13. Restored backup from Titanium, everything working fine, except only need to change timezone back to GMT+8. 14. SGT running fine for a day now w/o any hanging, etc. All apps seem to be working fine, in fact it seems to be faster than before. Despite the initial bricking(?), you guys think I missed or did anything wrong? I want to try again to flash to Overcome 2.0.1 Hermes for Gingerbread following thepitbull's guide.

I must say again it is not that I do not want to help any new user. The very fact a user has gone through the first steps to flash a rom clearly shows he is a learned guy and has read through pitbull's guide or whatever references he has. These type of users are not new user - calling themselves noob is only an insult to themselves
I just got another PM an hour ago about flashing Hermes from 2.0 Gold and again I direct the user to the guide ; I copy and paste the first paragraph to show what needs to be done - just follow the first paragraph and is done - simple !! I cannot turn down a request from one who PM me Like the Americans used to say " read the G$^&&n f$%^&*g manual ". Pitbull has put in so much effort writing it. It is just inexcusable for a user who has flash his first round not to read it again . As saying goes, please help yourself first before asking others to help you. there is an excellent written guide - it is there written in simple clear English. There was this user who PM me saying his English is very poor and he needs assistance - I help him online all the way |

QUOTE(mono @ Jun 16 2011, 11:52 PM) anyone knows whether lowyat plaza or any place in Malaysia is selling this thing? NONE. I have even try to find in Spore. Only choice buy it online from the manufacturer. There is a listed Msian company dealing with them ( listed in their website ) but they do not bring in this as no demandhttp://www.elandigitalsystems.com/adapter/...pter_tablet.php |

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Jun 17 2011, 09:47 AM) Me too, buddy. Am looking forward to the upcoming 8.9 model, as I've had to stop reading PDF e-mags after getting the Tab. 1024x600 on 7" is just a teeny bit too small for comfortable reading of e-magazines. I have stop reading mags even on iPad . Didn't even bother trying on my iconia It is tiring too much hassle having to pinch n zoom, scrolling left right, top n bottom Just not practical. It is supposed to be best experience on iPad which I find it just sucks. Only a novelty I say. Reading few articles maybe definitely not the whole mag |

QUOTE(alisabki @ Jun 17 2011, 11:13 PM) oh well... i think my tab is bricked! Last night im using it on a low battery just like normal. i just turn it off then go to bed. Don't panic. If you cannot switch it on, there is one way to revive it. I am assuming you know how to use Odinand, todays afternoon, i try to turn it on but nothing happen. Then i plug it on the wall outlet and still, nothing happen. im trying the combination of keys and nothing happen. (Power+touch the screen) i hope someone can help me... 1. First charged the TAB for at least 4-5 hours to ensure it has full charge 2. Put Tab into download mode - Press power+volume button down at the same time. You will either see Download mode or a computer--!-- Phone release the buttons. If this comes up, you are safe and your Tab can be revived 3. Connect it to a pc with an odin 1.7 open and flash Rotohammer JME ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...ight=rotohammer ) select repartition, PIT Your Tab 3rd party apps, data , settings will be wipe clean |
