Hi,
I've bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with the 3G version, but the Israeli official importer decided to take out the phone capabilities in order to avoid paying taxes for a Mobile Phone device (They claim it's now only a Tablet).
The device is 100% 3G capable, including all the hardware needed to make phone calls and send/receive SMS. They claim to have taken out only some software files... Now I can use the SIM only to use wireless networking. I've tried to install the Dialer One application, but got an error message stating that my device is not supported.
Can anyone please help me with restoring the device to its original phone mode?
Thank you!
Dan.
Well you could try a custom rom? It may work

I rather not use a custom rom... I think it's actually much simple - Some files are missing, and if I knew which and where to put those, problem solved.
I know all Israeli P5100 suffer from this strange issue, so I guess there must be a quick solution.
Thanks.

I also had the same problem. I rooted my tab and got another stock rom( not israeli). I think all the other stock roms have dialer.
But remember to do a backup if you want to change rom. I did not do backup( forget) and now i do not have hebrew on my tablet.
If you want my advise do not change rom.... you will never use the phone on tablet ...trust me on that.
hi there i want to use my p5100 as aphone insted of the "note" so please

I *think* that official cm10.1 has support for using the p5100 as a phone, and I know it has hebrew. I suggest you try it.

i want new phone unlocked because my g1 is slow but i was curious if there was a way to know if the chinese android phone is flashable and using which rom? and which is a good phone to buy ...
bumpppppp/
It hasn't even been 3 hours, there's no need for a bump. Also I don't think those cheap knockoffs can be flashed but it's possible. First you have to root it though which is probably possible with one of the "one-click root" apps. Actually flashing one is a bit more involved because of hardware differences. Next time just get the real phone instead of a knockoff, save yourself some headache and heartache at not being able to do everything you want.
i actually have a g1 thank you very much handsome
Well then take out the "next time"s from my previous post and I stick by it. Knockoffs generally aren't that great. Getting the real version from a store is better, even craigslist or ebay.
I rooted my galaxy note replica with bin4ry it worked perfectly as for flashing i have flashed a few things but to flash a rom it would be harder because i have found out i would have to port the custom rom to work with my device.

What did I miss? Why the assumption that the OP is talking about a "cheap knock-off". Maybe he means a Huawei, or ZTE or something.
Rooting android from China
Ok, i don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but i'm desperate. I want to flash my phone that i recently bought in China, but i'm getting no where.

It will depend on the device you have. You should search xda for your device name, but if it is a cloned device, you may not be able to find anything, because some clones are not well supported.
HI all,
I am new to this forum.
i got factory unlocked samsung galaxy s2 hd lte i757m with android v4.1.1 from canada.
I am using this cell in INDIA.
I am experiencing some freeze and sometimes restarts almost daily in my first week of usage.
battery drains fast with just 1hour of wifi usage.
Also cell phone heatsup while charging
Samsung support says officialy jellybean is not been released to hd lte yet , so u might be facing the problem.
Guys does anyone has faced same issues?? please help
There is no official JB for the i757m yet - Samsung are right. The issues definitely sound ROM related, I would recommend rolling back to ICS as it's very stable for me, with good battery life. Also worth noting - your phone will always heat up while charging
Here is a thread relating to installing CWM on the i757m. Ignore that, under the 'Download' section (expand the hide tag) there's a Dev.host link to some files. Go into the Bell SGS2 HD LTE folder, grab Odin3_1.85.zip and in the Factory Images folder, grab 'Unzip Me Stock ICS'. Don't forget to click 'thanks' for dsixda in his thread.
Once you have both those files down, unzip the ROM to get a tar.md5 image, and use ODIN to flash. There are many ODIN tutorials on this site, I suggest reading a couple BEFORE doing anything, as this has the potential to brick your phone completely.
If you need further help after reading, I will be here. I have this phone, and have done this a few times
Good luck!
Justin
thanks Justin,
I am newbie to android and samsung
Could you let me know where shall i get started ???
also the important thing i will have to rollback to ICS from INDIA and not Canada this time.
Is it possible from India?? if yes how?? any specific version of kies software required??

That's no problems, we don't actually use Kies to do anything, plus we are downloading the ROM ourselves. I have done the same thing from Australia, so I don't think that India should be a worry
If you follow that link above, and grab the two files that I mentioned, that's the first step. Once you have them on your computer, I'll send you some USB drivers, and then help you with the next steps to get it working

Any idea when would be Jelly bean released for SGH-i757M?
After 4 months of stalking this forum, I finally bought a note 10.1 to use as my phone... weird I know. Hopefully it arrives today. Anyway, I have a question on flashing the stock 4.1.2 n8000 germany rom on to my n8000. Can I just flash it if I am from another region? Is there anything I need to do before I flash? I keep on seeing threads about changing CSCs and some of them seem to be due to flashing on a different model instead. I would also like to ask if the 4.1.2 is still Exynos vulnerable (Easily rootable).
You need to use ODIN to flash, make sure you have a nandroid copy of your stock rom....
exynosexploit.apk will still give you root access. There is a camera patch on the s3 forum for after using the exynos patch to secure the exploit made by chainfire (buy this man a beer) but I haven't tested this on the note 10.1 as yet.
Best idea would be to root, do nandroid backup then flash JB4.1.2...
Cheers...
Oh, and get yourself the BT stylus if its going to be a phone replacement... Makes life easier and you don't have to be wearing a BT headset all the time...
Hi guys,
So I know it is super specific but I was wondering if anyone has used their Verizon GSIII in Portugal. I know theoretically it should work but I was looking through this thread and noticed that user Beemer533 wasn't able to get SMS and data to work even though he has used the same method in many other countries. Do you think the new update that Verizon launched a while ago should have fixed it? I know Beemer533's problem was before that update.
Thanks so much!
It should work fine, use a custom touchwiz rom though, if you are gonna be stock then you dont be able to get Data working

I'm using CleanROM V6. That should work, yeah?
Also, I just wanna be absolutely sure, should this work by just putting in the sim card or should I still use the method described in the OP of that thread I linked?
Thanks again!
Buy tomorrow this exact model
Tomorrow i go buy a cousin this exact model...
I read all the posts and my question is simples. This Verizon model works in Portugal with GSM to make calls and sem text messages, and with 3G?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say but I will be arriving in Lisboa on Monday, I will let you know if I get it working!
I am here in Lisbon now and voice, sms, and data are working perfectly. This is with the latest CleanROM R6 based on Jelly Bean. I believe you need a custom ROM like this to get data to work properly.

Did you automatically get the APN? or have to install a apn manager app?
Before I arrived I did install an APN manager app and I put into it all the possible APN's that Vodafone might use. But when I put in the SIM card it picked it up right away without me having to go into the app or anything. So I think the APN manager is not needed, but you may want to set it up before hand just to be safe.
Cheers!
I'd like some advice please on what to do next. I rooted then flashed my Samsung S4 with a new ROM named Imperium v16.1. Everything is fine except the classic issue of having little to no data connectivity. Wireless is fine and when people try to ring me it's fine. I try to ring out though I have to go into and exit airplane mode.
This is the first time I've flashing an android handset so I definitely put myself in the n00b category.
I'm at the stage that I just don't care what ROM I have I just need data connectivity to work again. Yes I was probably stupid it try it but you know what it's like. We all want to experiment!
I guess I have two questions. If I install another ROM will I just have the same problem? Also, from my research, I get the impression that the problem is that my handset's modem drivers/baseband(?) don't match the ROM. Is that accurate/likely?
Any advice or simple background into what's going on would be grand!!
Thanks community!

Your stock firmware was the outdated Jellybean 4.2.2. Flash latest stock firmware from HERE and you'll be able to use newer custom roms. And free user can cload with 300kb/s, don't be scared by the 15kb/s.
Thank you. I've got the download.. I'll give it a go this evening after work.
(wow the copy of Odin I picked up is full of bloatware.. Wonder if the source I got it from was a bit dodge)
That has worked beautifully! Thank you very much.
Gosh, I had forgotten how bloaty and boring the stock ROM is.
