Hi there guys/girls,
Ok so I've decided i've had enough of froyo and this stupid locked bootloader, I was holding off as I have seen there being many cases of hard bricked phones and being someone with no insurance can't afford to brick my phone.
On that note is there anyone that can provide me with a guide to unlock my boot loader and get gingerbread specific to my phone ( please use noob terms as i'm not too familiar with moto modding )
my phone details:
System version - Version.4.4.20.MB860.Orange.en.GB
Firmware - 2.2.2
Baseband - N_01.95.00R
Build Number - OLYEM_U4_4.2.0
Any help is really really appreciated.
If any more details are required let me know and thanks in advance.
Ron
Somebody.... Anybody??

but from how i understand it once you have done it you can do any updates (must have read that wrong).
Many thanks for the help.
I have now unlocked my bootloader and am still on froyo 2.2.2 but am suffering from the ram problem ( only showing around 300mb ram )
Can anyone provide me with a simple guide to fix this?
Also does this now mean no more OTA updates?
Thanks in advance
No one feel like helping me out?
Well to add an incentive... If someone can provide me with a simple guide I will buy them a drink ( via paypal )
Who's thirsty?

I had the same RAM issue. There is a ROM out there with the RAM fix but you can get this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16035823#post16035823 ROM and follow the instructions on how to install it. CAUTION: You MUST verify and install the kernel version specific to your phone from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409 link.
NOTE: I am not responsible for your actions and you should always make backups of your phone before trying anything. Try downloading tenfar's CMW4 to make backup of your ROM and get Titanium bakcup pro to save the configurations on your phone.
Good luck.

1.Orange/Bell/Telestra/Latin America/International users ONLY - Download IHOP

Heres the quick guide I posted, If you still want a full guide written out from scratch then Ill do that soon. Read through my thread here and you shouldn't brick your atrix. - I shouldn't and won't be held responsible for anything that you do to your own device happy unlocking.
Hey thanks for all the support. There are loads of noob Orange Atrix users waiting for Gingerbread OTA. I am one of them. Is there a guide tailor made for Orange UK users that I can follow? Also, if I use this, and the oTA comes through, can we flash back to that, or will it brick? And once bricked, what can we do? Ive got no insurance and brick will NOT be good, when I try to backup up from the (Boot + Volume Up = Android Recovery) all I get is the Android Logo staring at me with an exclamation mark. I understand you probably have a lot on your plate milky kid, but we are all FED UP waiting for Motocraps OTA. Thanks for any support you can offer.
I loaded the P7510 root files on it (BAD IDEA for anyone reading).
I tried to "re-stock" it with the P7500 stuff and it wouldn't work. (when I get home I will try to find the right .pit file and try it again)
I tried to push a new rom with ADB and flash it and so far no joy.
If anyone has any ideas I am open to them.
if anyone has the t-mobile 10.1 tab.... CWM recovery seems to work. I need a full system backup to restore my tab. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

What version of the CWM do you have? I found that 4.x and 5.x versions create different file types for the nandroid backup and they are not compatible.
I can create a backup for you tomorrow for any of the CWM, just tell me which one you need.
[EDIT]
I have a unbranded 10.1 3G and the backup would be from a modded Overcome ROM, but at least you would get the tab back to work.
[/EDIT]
I think it needs to be the T-Mobile ROM. I can flash stock roms for the P7500 if they are the same. Anyone else try any roms on the t-mobile tab?

Didn't the T-Mobile just release? Your the first post I have seen for it. What the model? P7500 or something else?
Also, FYI or not, this does not belong in the Dev section. Please read the rules for posting.

It was meant as a combined warning and cry for help I figured since this is where everyone comes for info on root... the warning should be here too. The model number is SGH-T859
you may need some one else to do a t-mobile rom dump, and reflash either through cwm or odin. Did you check the samsung firmware site for a recovery image? As a last resort, you could exchange it for a new one. And of course make a good backup in the future to go off of.
BTW, that is odd that your model number is so different from the normal gt-7xxx. Just to be sure, this is a galaxytab 10.1 or 8.9, right?
Yeah it is a 10.1 .... t-mobile always has a new number but it does surprise me that the p7500 stuff isn't working... I will try again tonight. If anyone has the T-Mobile 10.1 tab please send me a system backup

Moving to General
Not surprised the model number is different considering the LTE from Verzion is different as well.
ok so I got it to work with the 002001-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.3.tar here
I am making a backup. I couldn't get the "re-stocking" part to work. It looks like we need a .pit file. But if you want the CWM recovery that should work.
So far my wifi hasn't come back :'(
I am going to try a few more things and report back
Wish I'd seen you're posts sooner. I pretty much followed you right off the same cliff. I was hoping that an easy solution was at hand. I'm much more a noob at this stuff, and am having trouble communicating with the tablet at all, much less doing anything to problem solve it. I do have CWM v4.0.1.4 working and would be happy just getting the stock kernal back on it. Guess I have a lot of reading and learning to do this week.
If anyone can help, I'd (we) would really appreciate it. I have a long hospital stay coming up on the 14th and this tablet was going to make it a bit more bearable. Is there a way to remove CWM so I could do a return to T-Mobile? Just a thought...
Thanks for any input.
Hmmm this is for the new 10.1 4G model? I have a stock one I had been waiting to root til I could find out if existing methods worked or not
can u pls send me your stock boot.img?
would like to add support for it.
thx.

Yeah, don't root it yet. The current root methods don't support it. Man, if you could provide pershoot with an image and/or me with a nandroid backup that would be fantastic. I don't mind waiting for the excellent developers here on XDA to do their stuff (it's always worth it), but I've got about a week to get mine up and running again.
Thanks for whatever you can do.
I got mine to root just fine, using the process in the stickie. I used odin and then cwm to install root. Stayed on stock rom and used Ti backup to uninstall bloatware. I am happy as can be

point me to the recovery image you used, I'll dump a nand and upload it (asking for link just to ensure you get exactly what you need)
HI
Hi, I have a model like yours, t-mobile model: SGH-T859, if you send me a step by step I can send the files you need to get your table
Anyone has a solution for this right now?
I am stuck with the same problem
Thanks
Thanks for posting this info, I am sure this post has saved a lot of ppl from jumping off the same cliff.
i have a vibrant through t-mobile and i rooted and put a custom rom on a few year ago. now i wanna put it back to factory as if i just bought it and give it to my gf to have a better phone. How do i do that? I've tried couple of things i've seen on the internet and think i soft bricked it. it's stuck on the custom rom's flash screen before the galaxy s flash screen. I am a noob so please if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it!!

I have this phone LG Optimus L4 II (E-440g), I don't seem to find ANYTHING for it. Not a recovery or a custom ROM. Can anyone help me a little? I don't wanna brick it, but can I get some help to get the recovery or what can I do? Do I make a copy of my current ROM and start modding it? It's sure it will work? Besides, I need the recovery anyways, right? to flash it? Damn, it's hard to even begin when there's not much about this phone.
Hope I didn't bore you, guys.
Thanks for any help you can provide xD Suggestions, ideas, are totally welcome!
Please? Any help? I'm sick of the stock rom x.x I need to make changes, but I don't understand crap of coocking roms. I need a recovery at least, and start trying roms.
There is no Custom Rom for this Device ......
Sorry for this ????
