[Q] Is it possible to change the baseband firmware - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Recently I've been facing SOD on my Tab, and I read somewhere here on xda, that it's sometimes a modem problem.
So I was thinking of changing the modem/baseband firmware only.
Is that possible and how?
I know officially there is only ICS for the Tab, and I'm currently running PA v2.50; JB.
Thanks all!

Well, i dont know which version of the tab you have (p6810 ? p6800 ?)
There is a thread discussiong wifi-dropping problems including possible solutions to flash another roms baseband if I understand it right. You might thus have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754937

Sorry forgot to mention it's a P6800. Well, I'm not having issues with my WiFi dropping, I'm having sleep of deaths. Meaning the Tab would sleep and pushing the power button will not wake it up, I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to force a reboot.

Kernel issue ?

Well, maybe... I don't know
Any help? Problem is that I'm facing the same problem since stock ICS, and already tried a few custom ROMs, ending up with JellyBean now.
One thing to note is that I could limit down the rate of SOD's when I turn auto-brightness off before getting the device to sleep.

Maybe try a custom kernel and governor (Pegasus) or stock kernel and with app such as Voltage Control to change governor.

Hello,
I really appreciate the time you're taking to help with my problem - can you help though with more details?
I mean, I'm running Androguide's Paranoid Android v2.5, is it possible to flash custom Kernels? Or do I have to get another custom ROM?
I'm basically missing the bigger picture you know
Detailed help is very highly appreciated
Thanks

Any ideas?

Your problem can have a multitude of causes.
However to answer your initial question :
You can fash whatever baseband you like using PC or Mobile odin.
Just download and flash an apropriate modem.bin for your P6800
I would start by fladhing stock HC rom and then see if the problem persists on HC.
Oh and while you are rooted (i suppose), download the emmc brick bug test app from playstore to check your internal memory.

FYR. the baseband is the modem.bin inside the stock rom.
It can be replaced to your p6800 via Odin or Mobile Odin. I have extracted a few modem from different stock roms. P6800XXLA1, P6800XXPLA3, P6800XXPLW and P6800DXLP7. send me your e-mail if you want them.
For the Paranoid rom, I'm using my own build of v2.55, wifi and gps(I got 9 sat.) works fine for my p6800.
I think Androguide's 2.55 will come soon and solve you problem.

Thanks all for your input .. I've flashed another modem.bin and haven't faced SOD's.
Note however that I turn Auto brightness and WiFi off every time I let the Tab go to sleep.
I'll wait for PA 2.55 and see how things go.

[q] gt-i9003 wifi problem

before few days i got gt-i9003 originally from Russia
since then i change 8-10 Roms
from 2.21 until 4.1.2 but in all of them i get wifi problem
can someone recommended a ROM that have a working wifi?
WiFi problem? I already change ROM 10 times and i never encounter any problem with the WiFi (only on CyanogenMod 10 Alpha 3), try to check your MAC address in the phone setting. Or try to start from stock ROM >> Flash CF-Root >> Flash your custom ROM. Hope this way will fix it
Try to flash JellyBam, I used this ROM for 3 months and it work nice, everything works.

Help needed regarding Indian ICS.

Hi everyone! I'm using the official Indian ICS with Ardatdat's kernel v4.2 beta 6 1Ghz & I've been facing some problems lately.. I used ICS without any custom kernel for a week & it was working perfectly! Since I've flashed this kernel, my phone blacks out, and becomes unusable. The only solution is to remove the battery.
Now since things worked perfectly for me in the stock kernel, I would request anyone to please create a customized CWM flashable version of the Indian stock kernel with the eMMC brickbug disabled and nothing else.. I'd be really thankful to anyone who helps!
Ardatats 4.0 kernal is a basic kernel in which emmc brick bug is disabled
I wld req u to first wipe cache from cwm n den chk d diff

Try ardatdat's V4. It has nothing changed, but the brickbug.

done that.. Vikesh suggested me to do that.. no difference.. wiped cache, dalvik cache, put the battery out for 5-10 mins.. still happens
Yeah happening with me too.
I was about to post this.
The app just stops responding.
And touch the lock button and pooofff!!! You cannot get back.
Only solution remove battery and restart.

Even Vikesh had this problem.. Also one other member F3nix had the same problem.. This is not cool! I thought flashing ardatdat's kernel would be a good option since the eMMC bug is around.. But now I think that I should have stayed on stock! :'(
Edit: [Solved]. Was having problems with the XDA app and Saavn whenever i used the search option or posted anything.
Not happening after clearing cache and dalviks cache again

Buddy it will get solved.
Is this the Problem that happens.:
App hangs in the middle of something or at times the touch becomes unresponsive.??? Then press the power button (a solution of such things in GB) , the device blacks out??
UGH it was frustrating a while back..now okay
Still testing..XDA app working fine..3 posts no issues.
The first reply had this problem
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app
I have also experienced this issue. Happens with many apps, especially those requiring root access. I think it is just a simple deadlock (which cannot be recovered), although I didn't look into it. Push the power button for 7 or 8 seconds to do a hard reboot. No need to remove battery.
I just did wipe data/factory reset through cwm and now the phone seems to be fine.. Lets see.. Still exploring..

I'm on ardatdat's kernel, but haven't faced this issue yet.:fingers-crossed: Will keep checking. But I noticed one thing, when I open the superuser app, I'm not able to update the su binary. Nothing happens when I press "tap to check for updates" in the info tab of the app. Anyone facing similar issues. On GB it was working perfectly, I don't know what the issue is.
EDIT: I fiddled with the su package and found out that the problem is not ardatdat kernel but the 3.2RC3 superuser update. So if some one is facing the above issue, I would recommend flashing the latest stable su release that is 3.1.3 and then flash ardatdat kernel. Ardatdat has tweaked the kernel to not install su, if su is already installed.

Makes sense to me now.. I just flashed the su 3.1.3 package & reflashed the kernel. no change.. the su is still 3.2.. am I not doing it right?
But can you please tell me the procedure to do so? As in will i have to relash the stock ics & then install su and then flash ardatdat's kernel?
Or is there a different way to do so?

This is a known bug. If you're on the newest firmware, you can only use Sense JB roms. Anything else, the touchscreen will not work.

[Q] i9105P Auto-Power-Off

As titled, my i9105P has auto power off issue. I have auto power off issue on both Pandamonium V0.6 and Stock 4.2.2 (rooted). I am not awared of such issue back when on the first stock ROM (AMC 4.1.2 Germany). The auto power off issue happens almost everyday, mostly once but sometimes more than once.
What might be the problem? I doubt it is ROM-related though.
