The good folks at XDA Developers have found a way to turn T-Mobile’s Galaxy Tab into a tablet/phone like the international version of the Tab. Other than some VoIP apps, there wasn’t any phone calling features for the Tab here in the US until now. It involves a lot modding and flashing your Tab to get this process to work completely but once you are done, your T-Mo Galaxy Tab will be able to do it all. This process only works on T-Mo’s Tab and will only complete phone calls over EDGE at the moment. Check out the full process below after the break.
Download Odin3 v1.70 to flash.
Used;
P1_20100909.pit
for formating. Selected ‘Repartition’ ‘AutoReboot’ ‘fResetTime’. That rebooted with nothing apparently working but the filesystem structure was setup.
Download P1000XXJHA for the base rom.
Then, unchecked the ‘repartion’ part (as the structure is setup, don’t want to screw it up, the next flashing needs to ‘drop in’ where the structure is.
Then, loading into the JHA.rar just downloaded, flash that and reboot.
To update to latest;
download and flash;
P1000OXAJK1.tar
Pop in your SIM.
At this point, reboot. It’ll probably show ‘Emergency Calls only’
Went into the wireless/Mobile Settings/NetworkOperators and made sure it was connected to TMobile.
At that point, I made my first call and it worked.
Received a call too, also working.
