[Q] GT-I5800D? SIM Card, ROM Questions.

I r n00b.
I have this GT-I5800D. As I understand it, this is a Canadian only model that comes on a plethora of Canadian Networks such as Rogers and Telus.
I have managed to Root my phone with little hassle. My question however, is to use a different ROM do I have to unlock or do anything otherwise special to this phone to use my SIM?
Also, this will be my first attempt at doing anything like this with a cell phone so general pointers would be much appreciated.

No, just go ahead and flash a ROM but be warned that if a ROM is not according to your area, in your case Canada, then you may not be able to make calls etc. I think. Go onto samfirmware and you can find your regional ROM.

You should maybe flash a custom kernel so you can backup your current rom so you can restore it if you are facing problems like not being able to make calls as mentiones by Smonic earlier. Or you can download a stock rom from sammobile.com and have it ready in case you cant make calls etc. I'll pm you the exact link if you need it.

hi
yes u are right that is the new site i can confirm on the same

p6200l rom found! here it is!!

found the p6200L firmware for america and thailand. im from chile so other variants of my tab doesnt work on 3g signals here.
i already install this and its fully working with 3g!
https://hotfile.com/dl/150131483/a1358b4/GT-P6200L_THL_P6200LDCLA2_P6200LTHLKK2_P6200LDCKK8.zip.html

To clarify, is this by any chance an ICS leak? Or just another HC build?

no chance of ics yet
just stock hc 3.2

by the way, it doesnt have the spanish lang.

will be having Portuguese language of Brazil in this rom?

Any way to get just the modem and that doesn't require flashing the whole rom?

yes, you can flash only the modem.. just find my other post in this section.. there i put the modem.bin for flashing with odin.
and for portuguese, flash any rom with that lang and then flash the modem.bin on the phone section of odin . that will do the job.
good luck

here's the post im talking 'bout

Ahhh yes finally
someone got 3G 850MHz rom for P6200
where did you find it ???

Here is another one for the P6200L:
http://69.46.67.99/GT-P6200L_TTT_1_20111224145047.zip

Okay thanks, but what about going back to original modem, you wouldn't also happen to have the modem file for 2100mhz on you would you?

That appears to be the full ROM if I'm not mistaken.

yes, its the full rom but without spanish..just thai and english.. and korean =)
and no, i dont have the modem for that =(

I'm sorry for being slow about this.
But, I have rooted my P6200L and installed the busybox. Then one day buSybox updated and messed with my superuser and wifi settings, seems like the only way to recover from this is by flashing a new rom and I can't find any other rom like the one my P6200L uses (Baseband version: P6200LVJKL4 | Build number:HT85B.VJLA3 P6200LVJLA3).
So, is it possible to flash using only this file? Or do I need all the PIT, BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE and CSC files?
And, sorry again, but this file goes to PHONE, right?

As I said lots of time, only XXKL7 (better EUKL1XXKL7 builds) has a whole language pack instead of other builds. I'm about to get it fixed by export EU language pack from EUKL7 and let we all install 'em maybe by recovery
So even people from Italy, Spain, German, France etc (where Euro crisis is killing us ) can flash ROMs from other builds and get their own language pack

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)

My point exactly! LOL I have a GT-P5113 and I know it was identified that way even though it now says it's a 5110 in the "about" section. If I install a 5110 ROM even if it's stock it won't be back to the way it was.

Well I didn't think it was since the regions are all international but if it says GT-P5113 it is ok? I don't need warranty now but I want to be sure I can revert if I need to. Thanks!
Edit: I've tried multiple times to download this (hotfile). It gets about halfway and fails. Is there another source and which region do I select for us?
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app

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 think I still have the box. I'll look for it tomorrow. In the meantime I did get a completed download from hotfile but it must have been corrupted. It failed the install. I'll see if I can get it on the pc tomorrow.
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.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda app-developers app

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.

Yes wI tried. There is something wrong with it. I'll try another download(s) today. Maybe I'll make myself just let the whole thing until/unless I actually need warranty service. It's just frustrating!

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.

Hi,
I am living in Thailand. I just checked right now and "the number of roll-out updates has been exceeded." It means that i have to update via KIES like last time.
I will install and report.

Cool! I'm going to try it tonight. Will be interested to hear back if its a stock rom without any extra apps, and if the UI is quick

Need a Google Drive link, this Hotfile download is awful.

I installed it last night and really no noticeable difference to me between MG7 and the latest India FW. Been super busy with work so haven't put it through it's paces yet. Will report back when I test it more.

This firmware is a bit faster than others, and the smearing issue is almost fixed!!!!

the best firmware so far.. i like the look of the bounce effect in the volume levels, i feel the device more cold, more fast

Any one kind enough to post this somewhere else other than hotfile please?

Oh and one more thing, I am running Indian firmware bmg5 right now, can I flash this bmg7 over it? Will I need to factory reset my device after installing this Thailand firmware? And does this firmware improve the camera launch lag issue ?
