Dear poisike, thanks a lot for you helpful information, I did't knew that Rom manager it is not compatible with P7300, and they are not announcing this.
I want to tell you that I'm a fortunate man, I succeded to connect my tablet with PC via odin, and I solved the problem. I presume that I'll never try to overclock my CPU again.
Best regards to all

Don't give up so fast. Just install CWM recovery and use that for flashing kernels and roms.

maybe

ROM Manager will work with the Galaxy Tab 8.9, you just have to load Clockworkmod Recovery separately with Odin (takes like 2 minutes, it's easy). Problem is that ROMManager won't recognize the CWM version, unless you use RM to install it.

What I did was let ROM Manager install the CWM version for the 10.1 tab (4.0-something) and then right afterward use ODIN to flash the correct version of CWM.

After that ROM manager should work just fine. Though using CWM itself isn't that hard either, just more steps to do the same thing.

I wouldn't suggest using ROM Manager in this tablet at all. It is not needed (bloat!) and is very risky. Just stick to the CWM Recovery, it's the safest route for flashing in this tablet.

Still the same problem. I've re-updated the CMRecovery to 5.5.0.4 and still the same error message.

Anyone have an idea about what should I try? GS works ok, but CM not

ANY news on GT-P7320 Rom?

ANY news on GT-P7320 Rom?

Guys just a newbie question, is there a way to enable usb recharging?
The tab recharges only when connected to the stock recharger, it doesn't recharge when connected to the pc...

My buddy is buying my iPad2 today. Should I stay with Apple and get an ipad3 or get this bad boy?

I have a lot of experience with Android phones, htc inspire and galaxy nexus, just none with tablets.

I use my iPad for reading and web browsing with tapatalk. I also play an occasional tower defense game if that helps.

No blu ray rips or anything for me. I just rent in hd from Google Play.

It is a 1.2ghz CPU and it does have 1gb of on board ram. Samsung clocked the cpu to 1ghz to extend battery life and your losing 256 mob of ram to the video card. you can run a custom kernel and or rom and oc your CPU. Anything of 1.4 isn't super stable, at least hasn't been for me. Hope this helps

SGH-I957 and Kies

Has anyone been able to use Kies via USB cable with the SGH-I957? I tried and it fails to connect.

multi touch problem

Hello everyone I have a problem with multi touch in my galaxy tab 8.9

multi touch is crashing when you put two fingers, has a solution for this?
I tried to use an app called: touch screen tune
but did not work saying that the tablet is not supported

worth it?

Hey All, Need opinions.
with all the new tablets coming out, is the 8.9 still worth it? Best buy has a refurbishment one with the keyboard, dock, and case for $380.00. What do you guys think? My wife hogs the 7.0 plus tab so I need one for me but don't want to spend alot of money. I would most like sell the keyboard.

Set me straight.....

Hey all, new to the site but not to the game. I'm hoping not to upset anyone by asking these noob questions, but it's early, and I'm only on my first pot of coffee. I own a wifi only US spec 8.9. Just rooted it, compared to IOS jailbreak it seemed way too easy. I used methods of unlocking here on xda and am curious about a few things. I've googled, installed the " top tweaks" superuser, some rom managers and root doctors, whateve, but what can I really do to this thing that sets it above the rest? I can't seem to find CWM except in an old post noted as a fix. From reading It looks like this is needed to flash ROMs. Second, I want ICS on my tab bad, but from the info I don't see a fully functional custom rom yet, just old posts on ones with limited features. I'm down to donate or contribute to XDA if you guys can school me real quick. My goal is a nice overclock, a fully functional custom rom I can show off, but with ICS just around the corner for us with 8.9's I just don't know what direction to go. I've googled for hours but I can't seem to find what I want for this Galaxy Tab. Thanks for a great site and any info you guys can toss me.

So, I read the guide section, duh......so let me change my question's.

I downloaded the zip at the end of the post. Thing is I've already installed some Odin Multi Downloader 4. something.....is this the same thing? Can't I just drop the zip in my sd via usb without odin and open in stock recovery? Currently I have ROM Toolbox pro....6 bucks I think I may of wasted, SetCPU probably a waste also, Android Terminal Emulator, and Titanium Back up. I think I'm moving too fast just downloading stuff I don't really need. Guess I'm going to give this a go and try to install CWM recovery per the guide. Again my goal is to overclock, looks like ICS will roll out in a few so i'll wait. Can someone please enlighten me? I'm going nuts here. Is this process like iOS? What i mean is can you lose root access the same way you lose a jailbreak when new firmware is released and downloaded?

Forgive me, my mind is ruined by countless hours in iOS.

Really surprised and a tad dissapointed I did not get one reply.....but I must thank you for not helping and allowing me to get it squared away myself. Which I have done. Rooted, CWM installed and system backed up. Decided not to flash ICS yet though. Still would like advice on overclock.

Kill this thread/post.....I figured it all out.....overclocked at 1.5 as of today....runs great.
