Database Info

Officially: GB is now out for the UK

Hi,
Just to inform those who are waiting to update officially, check now.
For others, here is the kdz if you want:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AGBWML/V21a_00/V21A_00.kdz

I wonder if there are any slight changes? There must have been some reason it wasn't released at the same time as the other regions.

Good news, hope this time this UK GB is a lot of improvement than the Germen...

can someone tell us the date of the rom?

I guess it's the same as everybody else, so I don't see the reason for such delay in UK.

So far I have not seen any build number differences in the baseband, kernel, build or date. MD5 identical.

Is this available OTA as i am still being told that my current version is up to date?

Nope, you have to use the LG Support Tool to update it.

Thanks for the info. Do you need to have a constant connection to update or does the update software download everything it needs before it updates? I use my phone as my internet.

my games and apps arent supported wait a while

Damn, keep getting a url not found when trying to download the LG support tool.
btw, can I do this update if I'm locked on T-mobile network? Also, will I loose data? Cheers

I wonder if this is any different to the other one and fixes the battery info problem.
I might have a go this afternoon and see

lol, managed to download the app (was work restrction),
but when installing the LG software it says it's down for maintenance. So they finally release GB and take the tool down that installs it!

It would appear that it is the same release as before the MD5 is an exact replica so no point in updating to this one if you have the other.

Came up saying it needed updating, tried to update, got so far and came up with an error message. I restarted it, then it now says i have latest version, which I dont....any ideas?

Is everybody having problems with the 3D games?
The one pre-installed I have to re-download them in order to play but I'm getting errors when I try to and the others that I have purchased the app says that the game is not a original copy and doesn't even let me open it.
is it just me?

Phone Update...but not ICS

There is a minor update coming....sucks it isn't ICS, but they tend to push out these updates just before a major upgrade...so fingers crossed.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4182
Whether or not it is worth installing, though....and it does look like your phone has to be unrooted.

I've kept my phone on its stock ROM and unrooted, and it looks like my waiting finally paid off! Hoping you're right, and that this is a pre-req for the upcoming ICS release. Maybe this will coincide with the T-mo release of the Blaze Q (QWERTY version of the Blaze 4G)?
Also, has this update gone live yet? I'm using WiFi at the moment and so far I get a message saying there isn't an update available from the server

Can someone confirm if I have to be unrooted?

I put my sim into the blaze and nothing no update ota yet lol if anyone gets it before midnight hit me up on a PM
if not then tomorrow it goes live on mini kies and i'll just download it there

This is why I always flash recovery first and run a backup of stock prior to rooting. I will backup where I am now and check to see if there's anything to this update.
This also kind of confirms that ICS will be coming soon as stated... kinda exciting!

Haven't seen it yet, but if I do I will hit you up.

Just wanted to point out, this made it to tmonews:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/07/sams...pdate-prepares-device-for-ice-cream-sandwich/
"We saw something very similar for the Galaxy S II as a small maintenance update arrived a few weeks before Ice Cream Sandwich. We hope that same scenario plays out here as well. Stay tuned for Ice Cream Sandwich Blaze 4G owners."

Huh... How do I revert to Stock unrooted? Also, do I HAVE to update to install future custom ICS ROMs? I'd rather just wait until the source code is released ans I'll just install a Stock custom ROM. I need clarification. Because I don't feel like reverting to Touchwiz -_-

just because u said u don't like touchwiz made me answer this more
to return to unrooted stock you need to use the stock LB7 tar file and the blaze.pit file and Odin back to stock
I beliieve k0nane made a good guide for that on dev forum.
And you can always wait as soon as Kies updates tomorrow with LF4 i'll download and decrypt it and use it for base no my build 5 for dknight which is going to add some awesome stuff on top of the already awesome stuff

Update is live through Kies as of 9am cst. You lose CWM through the update and cannot be rooted.
So will the current CWM and rooting methods be ok to be used again? I hate bloat

How long did it take for the update to work via Kies?
I started the firmware download, and once the download finished Kies kind of.. froze. Didn't see any activity in task manager, phone didn't show anything besides the normal home screen. Disconnected the phone with no ill effects fortunately.
Probably because I'm running Windows 8 release preview.. will try on my other Windows 7 rig

Stock ROM

After a long battle (don't ask) I got CM running. Along with the other stupid mistakes I made I didn't make a nandroid of the stock ROM. If I need to revert to stock, where do I find it? Googling got lots of hits but they all pointed to international versions (p5110 - I have the p5113)

Both sites have links to Cellular South which is USA. What are you looking at? Where did you get your tab? Hotfile links are as good as they get. Are you using phone or pc to download? Downloaded well over 100 ROMs from hotfile and never had an issue yet.

Well don't let that Tab fall asleep either. Not sure what the region code is with the one from Amazon. It could be Cellular South, from Singapore, or that XAC region which is listed as N/A. Maybe by N/A Samsung is calling it unbranded. Do you remember anything dealing with branding on yours? Any info on the box?

I installed zapblaster to try it out (made a full nandroid of my cm installation!) Wish I knew enough to help with development lol. Certain features I love in this one and others in cm10.1 that I'd combine if I was a developer.

here i started this thread not too far back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342136... i think its exactly what you are looking for in regards to the p5113 and stock firmware
also in regards to the zap blaster rom, i think its terrible... nothing beats the UI in 4.2.2 .... if the IR capabilities is what you are after go here and try this rom http://d-h.st/OTW its cyanogenmod 10.1 .... its not official but does have a working IR blaster. just a few minor bugs you can fix on your own.
anyways hope this helps

Did you install that hotfile with odin? First you uncompress the zip to find a md5 file inside. You install that md5 file with odin.

Firmware Discussion Thread

I noticed a lot of users discussing firmwares in plenty of threads. Seeing that you guys lacked a dedicated thread to have general conversation on firmwares and their usage, I have created one.
Feel free to post details regarding official firmwares, news, changelists, your review/experience etc
Note: This thread is not to be confused with the Off-topic thread.

Thats What We Really Need

Is it still the case that the German release gets the official firmware updates before the UK model, was looking at the 32Gb model on the German Amazon site?

Use CF Auto Root to root your phone, read the instructions carefully!

Updated to latest MG5 update.
Changes I felt so far:
- Phone feels faster.
- More free RAM (Screenshot attached, after normal usage and no clearing of memory).
- Camera opens faster.
- Weather widget still get cleared but it comes back instantly.

Been running EE EVR MG7 for about a week and I've noticed that when it goes into sleep - WIFI disconnects.
This means it uses up my 4G data when the screen is not on. It does reconnect when the screen comes on though.
Anyone else experienced the same? A friend of mine moved up to DBT MGA and said he got the same thing (for some reason one of the programs killed 1Gb of data in one night lol!)
Was thinking of moving to BTU MGA if its any different? thanks in advance.

Do not own this phone, so the answer may vary.
But afaik, Android defaults to cellular connection in sleep. There is an option in your wifi settings which allows you to select "wifi-connected" during sleep.
Search around in wifi and network related settings.
Switch it to "never"

The best way to find out is probably to read the thread, or at least the first post and the last load of recent pages. From what I have read/seen it seems to be very good and certainly usable for daily use. I don't think you should accept (or even receive) any OTA updates. As its essentially a custom ROM its probably safer to let the developer create a new update to flash. I have downloaded the 4.2.2 version but haven't installed it just yet, been hanging on for a new 4.3 version.

Sent from my GT-P5210 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Never mind completely over ya head. Thanks I know you all where trying to be helpful. But I was talking about kk that Samsung sends to my device not a Canadian version. I have had this for a year and there is not one stable rom. I want the kk that belongs on the tablet. Like I said nexus next time. I guess the wifi American one will be the last one. Lol

I am happy to see kk geting close. And even happier to have a group of friends that are giving 200% time to provide us what Samsung/Intel should have.
Never the less It is true Samsung and [email protected]#$%Ing Intel garbage had screw us all by no releasing a full Open Source than can be use to create CianogenMod or aosp. To make it worst Googles and Samsung new policies while implementing new updates is geting to a untolerated limit!
I too think this is the last device I purchase without first waiting for others report. Samsung lost my thrust.

I can't really see your point. As you know,the stock roms are bloated,slow and sometimes more unstable than the modded ones. As for the release for Kit Kat - Samsung seems to not really care for it's older devices,seeing how many more tabs they produced. Kinda strange to go out with a new version with the product every next year. To be honest, I think they should at least expand the lifespan of these tablets, It's not like they are really cheap or something. As for the hardware part of things,I think you should know that the 10.1 version is actually really different compared to the other two Galaxy Tab 3s, thus either making the release process slower since there are newer models on which they focus more. We should all be thankful that there are ambitious developers here and I'd even like to thank all of them for their hard work. For now - you should stick and help for the development rather than just wait. I hope I don't sound insulting or anything. I think that any help (bug reports,etc) would be appreciated.

Oh bro I am also talking about that only . See, there are different regions of every tablet. You must not be living in Canada. This tab has got 4.4 kk but In canada & not In your country. So , you will not be able to download kk by going to software update . You will have to download it from sammobile & flash it manually via odin . Please ubderstand this. I and a lot of other people are running Kitkat .

And additionally it is a very easy process to install the Canada version with Odin.
I am from Germany, have installed the Rom and so far no problems.
But for my opinion not a lot of differences to the former Rom.

@jason504
i believe any version will contain the same language support set, also version specificity only comes into play
with respect to cellular/gsm variants. for wifi only models it really doesn't matter. else there are still "after market"
methods for sorting out issues.

i don't believe it exist as an option on the touchwiz rom, however on the cm11 test it is very crashy.

I can't really see your point. As you know,the stock roms are bloated,slow and sometimes more unstable than the modded ones. As for the release for Kit Kat - Samsung seems to not really care for it's older devices,seeing how many more tabs they produced. Kinda strange to go out with a new version with the product every next year. To be honest, I think they should at least expand the lifespan of these tablets, It's not like they are really cheap or something. As for the hardware part of things,I think you should know that the 10.1 version is actually really different compared to the other two Galaxy Tab 3s, thus either making the release process slower since there are newer models on which they focus more. We should all be thankful that there are ambitious developers here and I'd even like to thank all of them for their hard work. For now - you should stick and help for the development rather than just wait. I hope I don't sound insulting or anything. I think that any help (bug reports,etc) would be appreciated.

When I got this tablet I thought Yes since I have been flashing roms on my phone for years here is something else I can flash roms on and have fun. Boy I was wrong I know they have a couple of stock roms but they ran worse than my stock rom. So I unrooted and said I will wait for Samsung to update my tablet to kk. I have been waiting and waiting it's just a big let down. But you live and learn my phone is faster than my tablet so basically all I use my tablet for is chrome cast. To be honest with you I don't even know if I will get another tablet for what. It's easier to just grab my phone. That's why I love big phones.

Just curious, I understand going back to stock, but why unroot? How can you stand all that bloatware?
