Hi folks. I have a USCellular Tab 10.1 LTE (which identifies itself as a p4vzw and should work fine with VZW ROMs)
Per the instructions in this XDA message posting I have installed CM10.1 + GAPPS
The message says I need to flash this kernel here. How do I do that? The webpage linked shows the source code, but I'm lost with what to do!
I have -no- LTE/CDMA radio and have a message which shows "unknown baseband" - again, supposedly the
I originally flashed from the FB01 firmware which is supposedly what I am supposed to use - thus, the Verizon baseband SHOULD allow me to connect.
Any thoughts?
I need to:
Get help to flash that kernel
get help getting the radio working
(My original baseband information was as follows: CDMA i905.03 V.FB04 //////// LTE: SCH-i905.FB01
Not sure about the radio, but you don't have to flash that kernel. It is already packed into the ROM.

Gotchya, Thanks!
I don't know why that was mentioned in the step outlined above.
However, the radio part is the most confusing to me at the moment :-/

As I recall, you first have to be on ICS and it's radios before flashing CM. I would recommend first flashing ICS for VZW then install CM 10.1

I seem to be having trouble finding a Stock VZW flashable ROM. There is an update.zip which should run in the stock recovery, but I think I will need Odin or a CWM flashable ICS build.
Any thoughts?

Any fix to this yet? I will never use my tab on a network, just want a better running rom and cant seem to find anything that works. Tried pershoots kernel but it just gets stuck at the samsung screen for more than 45 mins until i just hard reset and nand back to stock. I got this tsb for free, its just very laggy. Thanks for your time guys
Edit: basically i just want to verify that CM can and is working on this specific us cellular device.

CM should work (cellular data) and the rom i use on mine, i am currently using it as wifi only, i use cm10.1 it runs really smooth and it allows a stable overclock which makes it run much faster, there are a ton of tweaks you can set another tip is to turn the window animation scale .5 as well as the other two transition and animator. If you need any help flashing shoot me a pm and i can walk you through

Custom kernel, or flashing vlara's prerooted system image from the UCKK6 leak thread.
It's just like the days before zergRush - get used to custom kernels and rooted system images being the only way to root.

Have you tried this? vlara's download does not contain a tar. It is named system.img, and I tared it and tried to flash it, and the flash fails immediately, just like the UCKK6 system dump I made myself, so I would guess that his dump has not been prepared to flash.
If I have time this morning I'll make Odin flashable 2.3.6 with root

To test some of the problem reports I needed to run it. Of course, this is bad for some because I've established that the bluetooth HID problems are not the kernel - or if it is, the stock KK6 kernel is just as broken so there's no easy way to figure out how to fix.
Uploading it is going to be a *****, as it always is. I'm not doing it until the family is asleep.

All it does is install a custom kernel - that particular one (zedo's) will probably break wifi.
If it does - flash the 12/21 version of my kernel and wifi will work.

Hello. Yesterday was my birthday and i got a used note 1 from my cousion. I came from the HTC evo 3D and i know how to fully root s-off, roms..etc. And i would really like to learn how to do the same to this phone as well. As of right now it has the 4.0.4 firmware on it ICS. I have never owned a samsung phone before and im really new to all of this for the note. I will thank any help i get! I cant wait to start flashing ROMS and kernels to this phone!! . Also once i flash the recovery how do i boot into it? And will i be able to flash roms directly from the phone? I know there is a program called odin that is used to flash recoverys and kernels i think. Last question would be.. Where can i find usb drivers for windows 8.1 for the note 1. Thanks again!

Well I just flashed a jellybean 4.1.2 ROM and it is working perfect. But I still want kitkat. I don't remember the name of the one I tried to flash. My main question is when I flash jb, ICS, or kitkat. Do they all just work after flash or do I need some kinda different boot thing like my HTC needed? Last thing is I could not find a flashable cwm recovery through Odin. Do I have to flash it with an app through the phone? PS: If it is as easy to flash things to this phone as easy as I think that would be awesome. So far I am LOVING THIS THING. Samsung might be my new favorite brand.. I had to do so many things to my HTC evo 3D just for custom kernels to be on it. Thanks for any help I get.

Update: Flashed cwm non touch recovery through the app. And I also flashed the candy shop kitkat 4.4.2 ROM, upon boot the WiFi would not work so I am back on the jb 4.1.2 ROM and I am now downloading hellybean jb 4.3 now. I wiped the data before I installed the kitkat ROM and there is no option in recovery to wipe the system so I guess every ROM I install it will overwrite which is kinda weird. I will try to flash the touch version of cwm later.. The one on the forum you gave me says access denied on my phone when I try to download the latest one. But It did work on my pc so I'll get it from there..

Glad your researching!
I also recommend reading the rom descriptions, and instructions. Some builders will clue you in as to which recovery to use, and what gapps need flashed.
I also recommend skimming thru the posts to see what issues other users may have had. They might of given you a clue as to why the Wi-Fi didn't work.

I do not own this phone.
This thread will provide custom recovery ( CWM/TWRP ) flashable zip files of the stock frmware without knox software. This way you need not upgrade using OTA and hence will be able to move between stock and custom firmware if need to.
If you use OTA to upgrade to the latest firmware, your bootloader will be upgraded to facilitate knox. Once updated there is no going back. The roms in this thread will help you overcome this issue.
The only prerequisite is that you are not already running a knox enabled bootloader. You can find this out by going into download mode and checking if knox entries are shown in bootloader screen.
You will have the following advantages.
Bootloader is not touched, hence any compatible rom can be flashed, including custom roms
Only Samsung knox files are removed
Root & Busybox
Stock kernel
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Procedure
Download the Odin version of Philz recovery or my custom twrp recovery and flash.
Reboot to recovery first else custom recovery will be replaced by stock recovery.
Flash the ROM zip file
Reboot and Njoy...
As an additional step, you can flash the modem that comes with the ROM. The procedure to flash the modem is given below.
Use Odin v3.04
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
Downloads
All files can be downloaded from my Mega folder. Choose the mega link and select SPH-L600 STOCK FIRMWARE folder. MD5 hash values are available in a separate file inside the folder.

Well now that I'm over being a wise guy, I think what I'm reading is that with this apk you can do outbound calls and texts, just not on LTE. Is that correct? And is the phone apk rom specific? Like so many others, I'm guessing, I'm really itching to ditch the Sprint stock rom. But wait... just this second for the umpteenth time my phone is telling me that I have left the network with roaming turned off (sitting in my living room, smack dab in the middle of an LTE coverage area.) This is killing me!! Haha!!

You shouldn't have this problem on a stock ROM. I suggest you flash the modem that came with the ROM. Its available as a separate Odin flashable tar file.

Yeah that's what I think. I downloaded it the other day so I'll do that this morning. As an aside, I really need to dig in and learn how to do this (cook/build,) but I'm a school teacher with almost no time to devote to my own education in this regard. I have been looking around at some of the guides but there is some much information that I'm not really sure where to start (suggestions?). I tend to be a bit obsessive/compulsive when it comes to technology, so much so that my friends and family often start to wonder "what happened to me." I imagine others can relate. On spring break this week; time to play.
Thank you.

Very funny, Mr.Nair. And I'm an English teacher to boot! I would relish having someone with experience to mentor me. Just to show you how much teachers look forward to their breaks(read mental exhaustion,) I discovered today that after flashing a custom recovery and rooting this little Sprint demon the other day, I had NOT flashed the firmware you uploaded. Can't believe I didn't do that. This came to light after I flashed the CM ROM for I9205 (I know, NOT recommended, but I did it for kicks.) Your CM build installed beautifully, and I was able to connect to WiFi, but of course I didn't have a cell data connection. I flashed the L600 modem in Odin a couple times on top of CM and applied various settings using the phone apk moosiemooses linked and eventually did get a mobile data connection, but I couldn't make it persistent. I wound up restoring the nandroid I made the other day; this is when I discovered that I hadn't flashed the firmware version in your Mega folder. So I did that after lunch today, flashed the modem twice and after a bit of fiddling all seems to be working well. I'm fairly new to this carrier and the network seems a bit finicky, but that's just my opinion. I spent most of the day doing this, and I think I learned something in the process, just not clear about what that is exactly.<g>
Thanks.

it isn't just flahsing the international version - it is a custom rom - OMEGA - which has been avaiablle for Note 3 - S4 - S3 and god knows how many other phones - this is an early rom - and probably doesn't have all of it's usual features - but it is a start - the first custom ROM for the s5 -
At least as far as I know and have read - I haven't flashed it - but am about to.

What about the kernel? You are using the t mobile kernel or the stock international that comes with omega?

One other question - on the Note 3, when we flashed some international roms - it always wiped the internal SD card - did that happen when you flashed this rom?

No differences with this ROM as with anything on TMobile site. Again...all works.

Stock from Omega. I did notice the recovery screen quickly flashing a message in the upper left of the screen something about the kernel and being "compliant" (just a guess on remembering) but after it completed the flash and booted up just fine and wifi worked instantly, so I basically let it go in passing.
mocsab said:
it isn't just flahsing the international version - it is a custom rom - OMEGA - which has been avaiablle for Note 3 - S4 - S3 and god knows how many other phones - this is an early rom - and probably doesn't have all of it's usual features - but it is a start - the first custom ROM for the s5 -
At least as far as I know and have read - I haven't flashed it - but am about to.

Yes...it's basically stock with no additional features. The Omega Files app has nothing yet for the S5. But as you said, it's a start and the first custom ROM for the S5. OH...cool lock screen wallpaper
I tried installing Omega 1.0 yesterday and I got an error message. I'll try flashing 1.1.

I did find that it wipes the INTERNAL SD CARD - so you may want to make copies of important folders and put them on the External SD Card so you don't loose anything important. (If you use Titanium Backup - copy the Titanium Backup folder from your internal SD card and put it on the Ext SD Card) or just change the backup location of Titanium Backup to use the external SD Card so you don't loose it) I dont recall seeing anything abou tthis in the OP - it might be but I didn't see it - I do know the same thing happened when flashing certain International ROMS on the Note 3
Success
I successfully installed Omega 1.2 via Custom Recovery tool, Philz Touch. I first Rooted the device, and then installed Philz, and then flashed over the Omega 1.2.
I live in Australia, and my s5 regained access to the Camera Shortcut and other features it was missing.
Also to note, all of my data and mobile data still work like a charm, so I can call and send sms without any fuss.

Hey guys so basically the thread title says it all. I need a few testers who have the Canadian variant sgh-i527m who can test a rom base for me. What I need is confirmation that everything works on the base ie Bluetooth, data, WiFi, NFC,etc. Once deemed a stable base I can work on making the magic happen of adding cool features.
Of course the standard risks apply: you are responsible for anything you flash or that happens as a result. As always please make a nandroid backup before flashing and ensure you are using the latest, stable recovery
At this point the ROM is rooted, deodexed, zipaligned all apks and Knox free
Here is the link

Hello,
I'm testing it on a i9205....
I installed it over a 4.2.2 bootloader as I never installed KK. So it looks like KK is installing over 4.2.2 Mega fire bootloader
.
I'm finishing up to setup all my account and let you know. So far its working well, the first run Wizard even detect my country "France", it did not before in 4.2.
I ll keep you posted but so far looking good.
Thanks
see screenshot attached
Just a small adjustement, on the i9205 the wifi is not turning on... I dont know why, a driver issue maybe. I will try replace wifi firmware and modules if I can.
Also when I go to ->Setting->security it says setting has stopped. then the phone is rebooting

OK thanks for the feedback. If you're still on the ROM can you run a lotcat and try wifi and also go back to settings security. And then send me the logcat. If you send me it with those issues recreated I should be able to see what the problem is

Sorry I cant, I had to go back to Mega Fire rom as I had no Wifi and cannot install Titanium to restore everything (As I cannot access security options) I had to revert to 4.2.2.
I also tried to modified your zip with a i9205 boot.img and all the System files into your zip from another 4.4.2 i9205, and I had the same issue. I'm starting to wonder if I dont have a radio issue compatibilty or my bootloader 4.2 is messing with some feature (like android finding knox is not on the bootloader). If you have any idea, I dont mind trying again but so far I would like to preserve my bootloader as my phone still under warranty.

At this point my best guess is boot loader but who knows. Hopefully I can get more user feedback and i257m feedback most importantly. Thanks for your time

I ve tried another rom 4.4.2 as a zip file and same issues. I revert it back to MF V11X and it works as normal.
I'm wondering if those issues are related to the bootloader (like for Param-Security) phone is looking for knox info and cannot find them.
reply:
Anyway for now my bootloader still in 4.2
I never checked wifi (I barely use wifi as is) System settings kept force closing on me and the ROM overall was a bit laggy (compared to MegaFire - probably not a fair comparison though - lol). My phone did keep rebooting every time I went into certain system settings to make changes (I don't remember which ones at this point). To be honest, I was just trying to see if I could flash it onto my phone. I had no intent to fully test the ROM for stability. Mega's ROMs are rock steady stable so I was just trying that 4.4.2 ROM while waiting for Mega to finish and post MegaKat.

Hi,
I just test the megakat rom from megafire, with the newbootloader and its all working. I can confirm wifi and setting issue were due to the bootloader
You should take a look at megakat op and rom, u will work with a almost bug free rom

i527 boot loader is locked. Just because you put an M at the end doesn't automatically make it unlocked....pssh noobs. ?
edit>>> @scoobthegambler, you are right, I made a mistake, my apologies
@pierrottls31 it's very poor etiquette to post another devs rom in someone else's rom thread. Please help to keep development threads eleventh to the threads they pertain to
Thanks in advance
@GT247 I never posted or mention another developer's rom I merely stated that the i527 had a locked bootloader and the op restated that he was talking about i527m

No it doesnt, but the M does have a recovery and is able to flash any of Sileshnair's roms.
It is not an ATT device.
GT......what are you doing here?

So if I put an M at the end of my Nexus5 can I flash Sileshnairs Roms?
@captemo, I'm watching my friend at work building roms, and hopefully keeping you out of trouble. Don't mess with Apen..lol
btw, I'm sure Mark Bencze will really appreciate if you'd stick around while he works this out.

I did not mean too, I just wanted him to know you can go from more clean room to start than stock... Stock rom is buggy and all... I took the rom from megafire and tweak it my way, this way I dont have to re-correct all the bug.... but sorry if it was mis-understood... I did mention it for reference only.... cheers
