I just started from a different version as I wasn't able to dial the keypad to find out what I currently had installed.
I'm still not sure if the phone.apk's would have worked, think I was doing it wrong, but many thanks to people who posted theirs. If that does work, it'd be far easier and less 'omg I think I've just trashed it' moments.
So..
After a few moments of the Android restore shell, the download screen, and the 'phone-!-computer' screen (which as it turns out isn't anything to worry about, you can still connect up using odin to flash).
Download Odin3 v1.70
do some googling for;
P1000XXJHA
for the base rom.
Used;
P1_20100909.pit
for formating. Selected 'Repartition' 'AutoReboot' 'fResetTime'. That rebooted with nothing.
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, flashed that and rebooted.
After some power off/on/off/on again, it's back to being usuable (previous to this, all my other attempts were locking it up at various screens).
The Phone icon WAS visible, but unable to make phone calls.
Now... I was a bit rash here, I also flashed P1000OXAJK1.tar (Repartion set to OFF!) to upgrade, AND I swapped sims to my known working Sim card.
At this point, it rebooted, showed 'Emergency Calls only'
Went into the wireless/Mobile Settings/NetworkOperators and made sure it was connected to TMobile. That that point, I made my first call and it worked.
Received a call too, also working.
Everything else 'appears' to be working apart from the browsing which looks like some APN setting. Every page I'm trying to access takes me to the Tmobile site. I need to set something/have something set I guess. The settings /look/ right, but can't get to non-tmobile if I'm not using wireless.
Though it also looks like I'm not getting much signal too. 1 bar tops (sure I was getting 3 before flashing) so guess there's some issues with the radio. Don't know what todo about that. Not showing the '3', just 'e' when I'm connecting up too. (-107dBm, 3asu, network type : edge)
The settings/about shows 'phone' information, not 'tablet' information as it did before too.
Overall though, it's working ok. Once I get the 3g browsing sorted, it'll be perfect.

Can we compare the system files between the euro firmware and the US firmware? I mean if the only difference is the phone.apk or if there are other things, I'm sure we can just push them to a rooted tab and be done with this.

Just throwing this out there, but could it be the radio version that is on the tab that is causing the issue? Wondering if upgrading the radio to a different version would work?
Try *#2263#
Then try enable all the bands manually, and hit me back.

thanks again Jyveafk.... so basically you flashed the European JK1 firmware and went from there...
Unfortunately for me, I may need a little more info on downloading Odin, etc... or perhaps the tmo guy who's been most helpful can help me... I don't really follow all of the steps.... and when you say you "got a bit rash"... are those things that should be done by us as well?
And you used a Sim card with known voice and data on it? The tmo guy told me he didn't think that was necessary ... he said as long as I have voice on my plan, which I do, that the Sim card has nothing to do with it... but it appears as if it does?
also, pls let us know about the edge issues, etc... it sounds as if you will get them resolved...
good going! and thanks so much for posting.... sorry I have so many questions, buy my programming days are long in the past and I'm new to Android, so trying to piece it all together!

I'm not sure if that is a good idea. We dont want T-Mobile or other carriers know about this loophole. What if they specifically block all the devices through IMEI?
That would be bad.
What bands have to be enable?Try *#2263#

here is the steps you need to have voice+edge on the t-mobile tab (this is if you already own a Vibrant) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=8761781Hi,
Is there a way to lower the loudspeaker volume, So that you can use the tab as a phone and the loudspeaker as an Ear Piece ? I've seen some people use it like this.
When I put mine as low as possible, I still can not use it for private calls as its too loud.
Thanks for your help.
Ash.
