I'm so sorry guys. I've been so busy working crazy hours and with a 3month baby and another one of 2yrs old it drains me lol. My rom is halfway there but haven't been able to get to a complete modification yet or even test it out. Sorryyy again for the long wait.

You flashed the MH9 factory firmware and still wifi doesn't work? Can you confirm you have the T217S Tab? Try to do a complete clean wipe then put it in Download mode and try to flash again. I was having the same problem but it got fixed when reinstalled NB8

Trying to downgrade from nb8 to mh9, but the tablet is just stuck on the Sprint boot screen. Any ideas?

Haven't tried to downgrade and if still doesn't want to boot it's because the BL was also updated. The only logical explanation

Any ideas on getting it back to nb8? I have tried Odin but still same thing stuck on sprint screen.

So are the steps to do this using Odin pretty much the same as how I installed custom recovery/rooted my device?

Will flashing this trip knox and void the warranty?

I just got this tablet a couple of days ago and I am having a lot of problems with it. None of the sprint apps are installed, and the "preparing network" thing just sits at the top of the screen and will not go away. I want to go and get it replaced, but it is hard to find a sprint store where I can park a 75 foot long truck. So I thought that the issues might be due to the firmware having errors or maybe a bad flash at the factory. I also am unable to update the PRL or the profile. I have been searching for answers to this problem for 2 days now.

Somebody please help!

I get same wifi not working problem when installing nb8. I noticed the software version changes to nb8 but baseband stays mh9. Which probably explains why wifi doesn't turn on. I tried a few wipes and reflashes and always same thing. Went back to stock rooted and WiFi works.

Well for some reason when putting this stock NB8 firmware through Odin...the screen will get stuck on Sprint screen for a veryy veryyy long time...it's not broken but one time it took me about 10mins for it to load. Just wait it out and it will boot. The first time boot for this firmware takes forever.

Pretty much...put you device on Download mode (Vol Down + Home button + power) and uploading the file through Odin. Process takes about 10 minutes to flash...give or take.

I'd suggest flashing this firmware since it's the most current one. Are you looking to root or remain stock?

Sorry I'm not as active as before...but warm weather is around the corner and kids love the park

Ok, if anyone has wifi probs, make sure you're using Odin 3.09. I used 3.07 a couple times and it doesn't update the baseband, just the software version and if the two aren't the same you get problems.

Mh9 link in op working now. Noob question, new to samsung and just got this tab the other day, is this an unrooted stock rom? I've read this changes baseband, I have the nb8 baseband (I believe). Basically I am looking to root, install custom recovery and install a 4.2.2 rooted stock rom, as I'm currently running 4.2.2 from factory I don't really want much else at this point until I lam and read more on this device. Tia for the help and explanation.

sorry bud but it is an unrooted one. If you flash Remedy ROM that will get you root. However for some reason it breaks GPS and sometimes wifi if i stand corrected. We have some devs working on those issues as we speak.

So I take it that once once on B8, there's no way to downgrade because the BL is upgraded and won't revert back. I flashed the older stock rom, and even Carbon Rom which broke wifi, with a "security pit warning: kernel." Guess there's a way to erase it.

I flashed back to B8 but something kernel-wise stuck and prevented wifi from coming on. I installed TWRP, formatted data and everything else a couple of times, then ODIN flashed B8 again. It worked. Assume there's no custom rom compatible with B8 that I can mess around with at present. Stock is boring and so Samsungish with tons of bloatware.

Anyone who gets stuck at the Sprint screen or the "preparing for first use" with the spinning circle, just rewipe and reflash (a few times if necessary). First notice of it working would be when it chimes at the Sprint screen.

Well you're half right. However the Carbon ROM works just fine for mine and i went through the same thing your tab went through. The only problem with all of these ROMS for some reason breaks my GPS. ROMs like Mijjaj's that one broke my wifi and there's no way to fix it unless you flash B8 through odin brand sparkling new. Also what sucks is when you upgrade to B8 from MH9 it does update your bootloader as well as you mentioned. Stupid Sprint rep upgraded my tab without my consent -.- Could've taken it back and gotten a new one with MH9 still on it.
