Hello, been looking around and this is getting confusing now lol.
My DELL:
Android 2.2
Baseband: GAUSB1A131921-EU
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build:12792
So as i've said i've been looking around. Still not sure exactly what i have to do, i have the PDF telling me what to get and i have the steakdroid mod etc but unsure wether i should attempt to flash it.
I've noticed a lot about the baseband. What will happen if i change this? How do i go about it and what is the right one for the UK as I mostly see AT&T and US users talking about their streaks here.
Ok so that question over my next one is about the build number. Do these matter much with the newer ROMs or can i just go ahead with whatever is posted now?
Sorry if this seems stupid but the information is sporadic and unclear to me and this is my first time with Android.

Aight so, i semi-bricked it at first, got the dell logo with flashing LEDs. didn't panic
managed to get clockwork on it and installed Streakdroid which is working awesomely.
One question and one problem. Should i upgrade the baseband? What would the advatages be?
The problem is the email client (the one ported from the galaxy tab) keeps crashing. Any way to fix this?
-Sean
EDIT: Happenes when i try to make any changes, update it or use it in any way. Also when it tries to refresh itself. Can't uninstall it either. grrr.
OK, don't kill me. New here, just got my Gtab today. I have read a lot and a lot and a lot. Maybe too much. I have not touched my tab yet. Can I start following the easy steps to adding a new ROM, or do I need to do something to the tab first? It looks like vegan is the one to use, but exactly what file is it that I use? I am tech savy, but very new to doing these types of things. Sorry for asking such a noob question. But my brain is in overload right now.
Thanks

Just follow the instructions on the vegan thread. You will find the files you need there ;-)
Good luck!
I was ready to roll, but what got me thinking was the bootloader thread. Would that apply to me?
Thanks for the reply
Make sure you know which version android you are on and what bootloader you have. There is a 1.1 and a 1.2 dev branch and I think it makes a big difference. I'm still on 1.1 Vegan 5.1. Froyo and happy with that. Newer builds use different boot loader, make sure you read instructions thoroughly before you flash device.

Check your version in the settings about tablet screen. Most likely you will have a 1.1 based kernel. So to answer your question, No, it does not apply to you.
Look under system and find "about device". Android version is listed there.
Ok, so I just powered up for the first time. Adroid OS 2.2, Tap 1.1-3389. BUT, to really make things worse, I think I have a dead pixel in the display. CRAP
Well wifey says the pixel does not bother her, So I will go ahead and get the ROM going. Is the Vegan 5.1.1 the correct version?
Thanks again
Yes, vegan 5.1.1 is a 1.1 based Rom, you'll be fine with it. HOWEVER, I do suggest that you at least update to 3588. It's still a 1.1 based Rom so flashing vegan 5.1.1 will be the same. it's just a newer version, and useful in case you want ot go to the 1.2 rom's later on.
HOWEVER, me, personally, since you're stock, I would update to 3588, theen flash teh stock 4349, then flash Brilliant Corners (it's just a 1.2 bootloader port of Vegan 5.1.1) That way, if you want to ever get on the honeycomb bandwagon when all the wrinkles are ironed out, you're already on the 1.2 bootloader.
I WAS running Vegan 5.1.1, and I liked it, don't ge tme wrong. I decided to take the plunge and get to the 1.2 bootloader, since most roms will be going that direction in the future anyway. It was more work to undo what I had already done, just to get back to where you are starting from, so you are already halfway there.
I'm not allowed to post a link to another forum that contains the files and information for Brilliant Corners, but if you use some googling skills, I'm sure you can find it. The developer that was part of Vegan 5.1.1, and created TNT lite, and is currently working on the Honeycomb port, switched most 1.1 roms over to the 1.2 bootloader, including Brilliant Corners.
I'm new to all this rooting as well what helped me was some of the video tutorials on youtube. It helps to see something being done before you do it. I have Vegan-tabs 7.0.0 running on mine.
**First off let me apologize if this a double post, or if im posting in the wrong area, I tried looking around and xda does not have the "Samsung Prevail" in the listed devices for forum support. If there is an appropiate place for this post please move it there, thanks and sorry for the inconvience mods/admins.**
I'm hoping maybe someone can help me. I recently rooted my prevail and now looking to flash custom rom. I have rom manager all set up, got a custom boot ready, and backed up system to SD only problem is i dont know what custom rom will work with the prevail. I'm hoping there some way shape or form I can get cm7 running though since the prevail is still new it has not gotten offical cyanogen support. My prevail is running a froyo build so I was thinking maybe I can get a stable cm7 froyo build on here with the custom boot going. If I can't get cm7 I'll be happy with shabbymod on it. Any thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? or links will be greatly apprecaited. thanks. heres my phone specs if they will help:
Model Number: SPH-M820-BST
Android Ver. 2.2.2
Baseband Ver. S:M820.07 x.EE14
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FROYO.EE14
Hardware Ver. M820.07
No answer for this yet? And why doesn't the forums have a section for this phone?
Hi all,
I successfully rooted my phone a year or two ago, and haven't done anything with it since. I know basically nothing about phones, but I can follow instructions pretty well.
I would like to have a general update to the phone with a new ROM (just for the sake of variety), and I would specifically like to add the following features:
-Shrink the screen down with the side-swipe motion for one handed use
-Ultra power saving mode
-Quad multi window
I would also like to do whatever needs to be done to smooth the operation of the phone out a bit--it does lag occasionally when switching between apps and stutter when moving between screens or scrolling. It isn't awful, and I don't expect perfection, but I would like to improve upon this if possible.
Here's my current set up:
TWRP Recovery; v2.6.3.1
Model number: SCH-I605
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: I605VRALL4
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-414933 [email protected] #1
Build Number: JRO03C.I605VRALJB
Hardware Version: I605.06
Please let me know if I need to post any other information.
So here are my questions:
-I rooted my phone ages ago and haven't done anything else with it since...is there anything I need to do to my phone to move to the more recently released custom ROMs? If I need to update something, what do I need to update?
-What ROMs would you recommend I try out? I found the R3DS and DN3 ROMs, and it looks like they might work for what I'm looking for. Any thoughts on that, or other suggestions? The DN4 ROM sounds perfect, but as I understand it, it will only work on the N7100.
-As I understand it, a new kernel will allow me to overclock the phone and smooth things out. Any recommendations on that, one way or the other?
Thanks in advance for the help. :good:
Hi,
has anybody come across the BTC Flame? I got one of the spare ones from work this week and want to have a play around with some roms.
firstly, the device is already rooted i assume as it has a super user app loaded already,
second, which rom if any, could i load on to it? im a struggling to find a rom suitable? any help on this matter would be great.
I have flashed roms before, but not since the galaxy s2, so its been a while. i am not looking for anything spectacular just a minimalist rom that has stock roms removed, a upgrade to lollipop would be nice if its possible.
tablet info:
Model Number : BTC
Android Version : 4.4.2
Kernel Version :3.4.0+
build number: full_gs702c_userdebug 4.4.2 KOT49H eng.root.20150105. 112232 release-keys
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There is absolutely nothing on that device on XDA. I'll move your post to here and maybe you'll get lucky, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help But i wouldn't hold me breath.
