Are you sure it's Android Gingerbread for the Samsung GT-P1010 Galaxy Tab?
ReplyDeleteI have downloaded but it only have 01 file. Pls tell me how to flash ?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, if you want to follow the flashing instructions, you are puzzled, since the zip file contains a .md5 and a .dll file. I would greatly appreciate if you could tell us how should we use these files with Odin. It is time to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
