I think that the file you downloaded was not downloaded completely and ,
For this compare the md5sum for the file,
And just redownload it

[Q] Content not supported on Galaxy Tab???

I am trying to figure out how to install reader's hub ( i have asked several questions, but I can't get anyone to help me). I have a US Sprint Tab. Each time I try to download the files, they download unsucessfully, and give me the error message "content not supported". This seems to only be true for rar files, as I have downloaded the readers hub zip file just fine. I currently have apk installer, Explorer, and Andro zip installed. Can someone please help me???
Hi,
As far as im aware even though androzip supports the rar files, it does not associate itself with the samsung tab explorers launcher for that file type.
If you extract this in the androzip itself and then browse to the contents you extracted that should work that way.
Wish you luck, let us know how you get on

Thanks for your reply. I would love to try thatm, but the tab wont even let me download the file. The thing is, I already have the files I need to get the readers hub, but I can't get it to install. Well, I can install the press Display and the Kobo, but the readers hub wont install. And although the Press Display and Kobo say they are installed, I don't see them anywhere on my tab.
Ahh OK, sorry to have misread the problem ...Have you access to a PC? as you could download and send. ...if not link me up ill download and make it a zip for you (my racing team dr-ukr has a server i can upload to for storage).
Alternatively try another browser, i've not yet tried the others but mayb it's jsut the Samsung modded browser that cannot support the download?
Ill post back if i get to test that first in Dolphin HD/Opera/Fennec beta etc..

Do I have to root my tab in order to install readers hub? Now I'm reading the rooting app has been removed, so rooting may not be possible.
Sorry i do not know about rooting, i am still on stock firmware and not wanting to blow my warranty yet. (allthough it will happen in the end) ... i have my nokia n900 for all the playing about for now (i'm confident with it and the tab is my first android).
Wish you luck and pretty sure the others here will help out

I was having the same problem. I tried opera browser and it let me download the files. The stock browser is junk.
Go to market and download "Download all Files", works perfect on GT.

[Q] Installing ROM ?

Hi
I have bought a new Samsung Note 10.1 GT-N8000 from China market. I want to install other ROM so that I remove all Chinese stuff from it.
I have downloaded an original ROM image from genuine link of almost 1 GB. Now when I am trying to install through clockwork-mod it says Cant open the package .
The issue I think is because of two files in zip
1) KIES_HOME_N8000DDBLL2_N8000ODDBLL2_541027_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
2)SS_DL.dll
Is this zip is OK to browse or should I unzip it on my pc first and extract some of the folder structure and then browse in galaxy.
I have seen that if I unzip the first md5 file . it has .img files.
I have searched forum for this clarification but didn't find it anywhere
Please help.

Need help getting file to sd/card1 on note 2 sgh t889

So heres the deal, every time I download a rom file it goes to internal sd/card0. As it would seem twrp doesn't recognize this folder and I can't figure out how to get the file where it needs to be in order to flash it. Details are as follows...
Galaxy Note 2 model sgh t889
ROOTED
stock rom
Perseus kernel
No other mods other than the apps such as Titanium backup and such.
I've also tried to download the file on my laptop and copy to phone but it won't allow it. I have the correct drivers and it starts to copy and then says it can't send apk file and on and on...
