I did this basic setup for my woot acquired GTAB. The primary reason was to keep the stock ROM but get the fully functional Android Market. I wanted to give these instructions out to real newbies who may want to do the bare minimum to keep their TAB up and running with all apps and without doing a flash with custom ROM. I wanted to include a more step by step for people who are less tech savvy so please bear with the details if you are a tech guy.
1. Get the Over The Air update to update to 3588. The OTA push happens automatically if you have connectivity (wifi is setup). You can also check it via the updates app that should have come with the stock ROM.
2. Download the enhancement pack - TnT Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=74HGJNEL to your desktop or laptop. The file name should be TnT_Enhancement_3389_v3_1_4b.rar
3. Try opening the file using winzip or any zip program. If it doesn't install winrar version available at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html.
4. Extract contents to a local folder on your computer using the zip/ winrar program. It has files update.zip, a recover folder that contains a command file
5. Connect your TAB to the computer with the min-usb cable and activate the usb transfer (I think it comes up with that option)
6. GTAB should show up as another drive in your system. With windows explorer browse this drive to locate the "sdcard" folder.
7. Copy the update.zip and recover (containing command file) folder from the location you extracted on your computer (step 4) into the sdcard folder identified on step 6.
8. Power off
9. Power on by pressing and holding the volume + button and the power button simultaneously.
10. The TAB should show a open box screen in a few seconds and after some time should turn back on to the main screen with new apps installed. You should see the market apps icon as well
11. Do the market fix remedy to see all applications in the market by steps below. I added an alternate market fix (if you don't see all apps)
a) Run market
b) Open settings->applications->system applications
c) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market
d Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data
e) Run market and confirm you get an error
f) Reboot
g) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications
h) If this doesn't work, look at the directions again and make sure you follow them exactly
Alternate market fix Steps - I haven't tested this but looks like a few extra steps (You need Titanium Backup installed and have opened Market and surfed around a bit. Thanks to blackjaguar who pointed to this)
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market
The above steps are detailed in another thread
The below steps are the bare action items from this detailed link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885940 _ However I found it misses some things for the newbie. So this thread.

I just got my gtab from woot and basically wanted the same thing you did: the stock gtab plus the market. I followed your directions after spending the last week reading the massive amounts of posts on this forum. The only thing I did differently was installing CWM between steps 1 and 2, and repartitioning to the recommended 2048/0. It seemed like most people end up having to do that at some point. Your market fix however, didn't work at all for me. There's another fix posted by tsm26 that worked great for me. Its slightly different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12563333&postcount=4400
The only app I still can't find in the market is Firefox, but luckily its available from ftp.mozilla.org.
EDIT: Just got the acore process problem, and had no contacts or /data/data folder at all. Used this fix and the problem is gone. Looks like it works for TnT Enhanced as well:

from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.

I am going to update this with alternate market fix for anyone who is interested. Thanks.
Step 6 confused?
Just received my gtab and following your steps to install this upgrade, however after connecting gtab to laptop I see 4 folders at the root of "E:" when browsing through windows. I assume that "E:" is the sdcard directory and these folders are located in it. The folders I can see in this directory under the windows "E:" drive are - .android_secure, Android, DCIM & LOST.DIR. However if I browse to the "sdcard" folder using the file explorer on my gtab I don't see the .android_secure folder, but do see a folder called "update.zip", that I don't see when browsing the "E:" drive in windows. Now I am really confused? Do I delete or rename the "update.zip" directory currently residing in the "sdcard" directory on the gtab and then copy over the recover and update.zip folders that I just downloaded?
My tap ui version is 1.1-3389.
Are there any suggestions?
I think you need to disable the USB sharing and you will see the files.
This worked like a charm. I decided not to root and mod, at least for now, so getting the market is great. I didn't show the sdcard directory, but I had update and an empty recovery directory, so I just replaced them (after copying the old update.zip). It wiped out the photos and videos apps on my main screen, but I found some interesting replacements. And the market fix worked great too.
But I still can't find Words With Friends... Just checked the market from my laptop and it thinks it's not compatible with my device. Oh well.
I followed the instructions to the T and the market wont work... someone please help!!!!!
The first set of instructions did not work for me, but the alternate set did work. I now appear to have a full market. Awesome!
Just for the record, I am running the stock ROM updated to the latest VS release.
EDIT: Whoops, spoke too soon. No apps will download from the Market. When I try to download a free app, I get a "Starting download..." message but that's it. I'm also doing this at work... I think port 5228 might be blocked. Is this the reason? I will attempt from home tonight...
Help!

I've gotten to this point, but how long is some time, it has never turned back on to the main screen and now really won't boot at all, just goes to a blank screen and sit there.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated! Hope I haven't done something terribly wrong!
Spoke too soon?
Maybe I spoke too soon. Doing the market fix got me a lot more on the market, but there's still a lot of apps that I can't get. So many devs put their apps in market and nowhere else. Don't they realize that this is not itunes? (BTW, I've hit web sites that send me to itunes to download their apps...) How many other devices has google not approved for the market and are stuck like this? Even Firefox is undownloadable on my Android. Is that really the market fix or should I be able to access more?
So frustrating, but finally something seems to work
OK, new theory. Apparently I had to do the market fix twice. I also followed the video on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9817939&postcount=17
That's not the gtab, so it looks a little different in the menus, but the steps still worked. I guess it threw in an extra step of clearing cache on market and force stopping it before stopping google services framework. Well, Firefox doesn't show up in market, but so far everything else does. Now I have to try to remember everything I've been trying to download.
I had to do the Market fix twice, but that was no sweat.
Perfect, gunajay; thank you very much for your concise directions.

Everything is working great using this Enhancement Pack and Market Fix. My question is whether my gTab is still considered stock with these changes? The forum messages about the new firmware update all caution against applying it if you are running an alternate firmware from 3588. I don't know if I am under the Enhancement Pack and Market Fix scenario or not.
no sdcard - help please
Hello all, found this post and as a complete newbie I was excited to see what the GTAB could be transformed into. Not quite ready for custom ROMS so I figured I'd start with Clockworkmod and trying to install the standard android market.
Problem is when I hook up my gtab I don't see an "sdcard" folder... Anybody have any ideas why that would be? How do I work around it?
I have the following folders:
.android_secure
Android
clockworkmod
DCIM
download
kindle
LOST.DIR
Master
Music
Photos
recovery
Videos
update.rar
Thanks in advance for your help!
Will this work with 4349?
Does anyone know if gunajay's instructions will work with with Stock 4349 and Market?

all the links i came across to upgrade to ICS are all 'UPDATE.APP', no zip files.
Huawei doesnt have it on their site anymore. I was hoping you could mirror it or something.
BTW i tried rooting using the method for the U8800, does not work.
hello, we got Root, I can not insert a link (no rights), copy the post:
1. Set the wood on your computer.
2. We enter the engineering menu of the body. (*#*# 2,846,579 #*#*) further ProjectMenu - Background setting-Log setting - Logswitch - LOG on - turn on, return to the ProjectMenu - Damp & Log include all items (total 4 points). Exit and restart ProjectMenu of the body.
3. Connecting to a PC the "Settings" - "Applications" - "Unknown sources" - turn on, then "Quick" - disable, then "Development" - include "Debug on USB" and "left on"
4. On the PC, disable antivirus, run SuperOneClickv2.3.1. and in the upper left corner click "ROOT".
5. On the pop-up windows give the "OK", a window with a proposal where a register just turn it off.
6. The ending of the whole operation will be a few lines (about half the screen) at the end of the last word "OK"
7. Turn off SuperOneClickv2.3.1, then "Options" - "Applications" - "Development" - turn off the "Debug on USB" and "left on" turn on "Quick", disconnected from the PC, restart the body.
8. If done correctly then open desks and one of them will see the icon "Sueruser" versiya3.0.7.
9. Return to its original condition and value of LOG on Damp & Log
PS
A small addition to the previous post, namely, after the root note two folders on the SD card and bugreports sleeplog. Remove the contents. If they continue to be replenished, then go to step 2 do the engineering menu, and then claim 9. Restart the body, clean folder on your SD card.

Yea I think I my have found one..... Waiting for it to finish downloading if its the one we both seek I will post a link.
EDIT: trying this one now -
1.)Download the bootloader menu tool - recovery-v8.img 5.5 MB megauploadDOTcom/?d=GN3NFEWS
2.)Download this zip 2.3.6 Sorry I can't post links in my first few posts apparently. pm me will email link then someone with more posts can post link.
3.)Turn phone off, Hold down both the volume up AND the volume down keys without letting go also then press and hold the power button. After a while your whole screen should go PINK. your usb cable should already be plugged in and this should mount a usb drive on your computer that you can access. Open it. There will be a file in there called recovery.img , rename it to recovery.old, then copy the recovery-v8.img to this drive. Rename it to recovery.img. Pull out the battery and re-insert.
Boot the phone by pressing and holding only the volume up key and the power button. This should load you into the new recovery image. From here you can load the .zip file from the menu.
Phew.
Its good to have a working phone.
PS its a custom rom thats already rooted and has root explorer installed. NICE! Oh ad you can install google apps from google. just google gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip

If you have 2.3.6 firmware your phone will be NOT recognized on your PC by pink screen !!! By reason of lock on 2.3.6.

Root Hauwei U8860 with ICS and Gapps
So I gave up on Gingerbread. I am now running ICS with Gapps.
I did it by the following steps.
1.) install the ICS demo provided by huawei
2.) Replace the recovery.img with the v8 one via the pink screen method mentioned in my previous post.
3.) download the gapps ics .zip to your sdcard and rename it to update.zip in the root of sdcard.
4.) Boot to recovery menu by holding power button and volume up button, then slect update zip, then chose the update.zip. once completed reboot.
5.) when you boot into ics login to google talk with your account first via 3g data not wifi data. then gmail.
6.) now market should work!
Also you can root ICS easy with any rooting tools. I used RootThat-v1.0.0
PS I emailed/pm'd the gingerbread rom to all who requested it. I found it unstable though.
!
no bro.newest version of ICS for Honor is with kernel 3.0.8 ! is pretty good but still not stable and on testing.it is rootable also with oneclickroot not only over pink screen.link what i give you that is very stable version of 2.3.6 but not rootable if you have "bugreport" inside phone,if not it is possible to root
regards

is this ICS build already stable on this phone?

First let me start off by saying that Windows Phone is a great OS. I love everything about it, from UI to gaming. BUT, I hate how locked up it feels. I mean not even being allowed to download files that the phone does not recognize is just frustrating! Ok fine I admit not everyone will find this useful but I have figured out a(moderately easy) way of using a WP8 Phone to download unrecognized file formats, and to then put those files onto your pc/laptop via Bluetooth. Unfortunately it doesn't work via cable.
Step 1: Download UC Browser from the app store, it's free and necessary to initiate the download,as IE will just block the download from even beginning.
Step 2:Using UC Browser, go download whatever file it is you want. E.g. .zip , .pdf , .exe , .inf , .mkv , whatever you need.
Step 3:When UC Browser asks you to either save the file or send to skydrive, choose Save. The renaming section will appear. Now,
Step 4:Rename the file extension from what it originally was, to .mp3. Example : "Logic_driver345.zip" to "Logic_driver345.mp3" . Then begin the download. When it is complete, the phone will store the file in the music+video hub, under music, unknown artist, unknown album.
Step 5: Switch on your phones bluetooth and pair it to your laptop/pc ,make sure your pc bluetooth is ready to receive a file.(usually right click on the bluetooth icon in system tray and click "receive file via bluetooth".
then it's as simple as sending the file, and renaming the extension back to original on your pc. Example: "Logic_driver345.mp3" to "Logic_driver345.zip"
some people might say it's easier to just use your internet on the pc, of course, but this is a tip for those of us who don't have an internet connection at home and use our phone to download important email attachments or other files. I hope this helps at least one other person who had the same problem I had.:good:
many downloads is easier with GetThemAll....

Unfortunately it doesn't work via cable.
Step 1: Download UC Browser from the app store, it's free and necessary to initiate the download,as IE will just block the download from even beginning.
Step 2:Using UC Browser, go download whatever file it is you want. E.g. .zip , .pdf , .exe , .inf , .mkv , whatever you need.
Step 3:When UC Browser asks you to either save the file or send to skydrive, choose Save. The renaming section will appear. Now,
Step 4:Rename the file extension from what it originally was, to .mp3. Example : "Logic_driver345.zip" to "Logic_driver345.mp3" . Then begin the download. When it is complete, the phone will store the file in the music+video hub, under music, unknown artist, unknown album.
Step 5: Switch on your phones bluetooth and pair it to your laptop/pc ,make sure your pc bluetooth is ready to receive a file.(usually right click on the bluetooth icon in system tray and click "receive file via bluetooth".
then it's as simple as sending the file, and renaming the extension back to original on your pc. Example: "Logic_driver345.mp3" to "Logic_driver345.zip"
some people might say it's easier to just use your internet on the pc, of course, but this is a tip for those of us who don't have an internet connection at home and use our phone to download important email attachments or other files. I hope this helps at least one other person who had the same problem I had.:good:

What version is your firmware? Mine is the most recent from AT&T and have always and still am able to download any file regardless of the extension. All I get is a pop up that says it is unrecognized and may not be able to be used, would I like to download any way? Then you have an option of download or cancel. It goes to the download folder and I can then do whatever I want to with it.

Thanks for the reply, and I'm glad they sorted that out, it was effing ridiculous! Now we just need a file manager. I was still running stock firmware cause my network had not made the update available yet. I'm in South Africa on Cell C , just forced an update check now and saw the update is finally available. Now to find a wi-fi spot... Thanks anyway guys.
Ok, so I rooted the Huawei Ascend Y300, and with my new-found power i for some reason decided it was a good idea to delete the system UI...
So now the screen is just black, I can't access anything and it keeps coming up with "systemUI has stopped responding".
I tried downloading Huawei's official firmware from their website, and flashed the device, but whilst installing it said "update error" and wouldn't install it.
Any ideas on what I can do? Or have I broken it for good?
You have activated USB Debugging? If so, you need Android SDK, and the missing file (unpack the official firmware to find it), so you can copy it using adb (included in the Android SDK, tell me if you need more detailed info).

I had the USB Debugged, and just now i have sent nova launcher to the phone to get into it, but it's now telling me settings isn't installed and i cant access the task bar.
Also when i downloaded the pack from huawei, it just came with the file "UPDATE.APP"
Check if you can open the Update package using some program (winrar, 7zip), otherwise you'll need to search for the file.

Ok, so it won't let me open the file as a zip, and I'm not entirely sure what file I'm meant to be looking for. Am i looking for system UI because thats the one with the error? and if so how would i go around getting it on the device?
Do you know if theres a way to completely reinstall android onto the phone?
System UI file
Hey
Sorry to confuse you lol oxymoronic happens to be talking about my phone anyways we think we have the problem nearly sorted but we now need a system UI APK file for the OS and we can find one any chance you know where to get one?
I hope this helps someone with a similar issue as the post is old.. I had deleted my xperia ui sometime back so each time the phone booted , it went to black with "Ui has stopped'. I could swipe down and go to settings.. Since i had formatted the phone before that there was no account linked to it.. I added my gmail account and sent myself a mail with nova launcher prime as an attachment.. As soon as the phone notified me of my mail, i downloaded the nova launcher apk and installed it.. Works fine now..
Hope this helps..
I rooted my asus zenfone 5 and by mistake I uninstalled my system ui it came like that the system ui is not responding so I switched it of and factory reseted the phone and when I switched it on I can see a black screen and I cannot change my phone'sv wallpaper I cannot see the task bar or the status bar or the notification bar and I also cannot see my recent apps. WHAT TO DO NOW ???

I SOLVED IT *****! HERE'S HOW I DID [email protected]@@
I accidentally deleted com.android.systemui on my phone. Version KitKat 4.4.2.
STEP 1. HAVE AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE PHONE READY. HAVE THE SAME PHONE READY. LUCKILY I HAD ANOTHER PHONE OF THE SAME MODEL. GO TO A PHONE SHOP OR SOMETHING.
IT WILL HAVE THE SAME com.android.systemui .
STEP 2. INSTALL NOVA LAUNCHER OR SOME SORT OF LAUNCHER ON THE PHONE MISSING THE FILE, SO YOU CAN LOAD THE PHONE AND BE ABLE TO SEE IT!
STEP 3. INSTALL TITANIUM BACKUP ON BOTH PHONES. ROOT IT AND USB DEBUG IT BEFOREHAND.
STEP 4. ON THE BACK UP PHONE, OPEN UP TITANIUM BACKUP AND CLICK ON BACKUP/RESTORE ON THE UPPER TABS AND GO TO com.android.systemui. BACK THE **** UP THE FILE.
STEP 5. CONNECT IT TO THE COMPUTER, AND GO TO YOUR PHONE AND COPY WHAT'S INSIDE THE "TitaniumBackup" FOLDER.
STEP 6. CONNECT THE ****ED UP PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER AND PASTE THE CONTENTS OF "TitaniumBackup" FOLDER (WHICH ARE com.android.systemui FILES) IN THE ****ED UP PHONE'S "TitanumBackup" FOLDER.
STEP 7. DISCONNECT EVERYTHING, EXIT OUT OF EVERYTHING, AND RESTART THE PHONES. GO TO YOUR ****ED UP PHONE, CLICK ON AND OPEN UP THE TITANIUM BACKUP, FIND com.android.systemui AND RESTORE IT!
STEP 8. ENJOY YOUR PHONE.
NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORMAT IT , RESET IT, REINSTALL A FOREIGN ROM, OR DEBUG IT USING ADB OR SDK, AND ALL OTHER COMPLICATED **** FLOATING AROUND, RISKING LOSING ALL OF YOUR DATA. JUST GO A LITTLE CREATIVE.
IF IT WAS OF ANY HELP TO YOU OR YOU ACTUALLY RECOUPED YOUR DATA BECAUSE OF ME, AND YOUR PHONE DATA WAS OF ANY WORTH TO YOU, PROBABLY WORTH MORE THAN $100, PLEASE SEND ME SOME APPRECIATION PREFERRABLY OVER $100, TO MY PAYPAL. THE EMAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected]
