[Q] Is Clockworkmod worth it? (on a Korean Tab) - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Korean tab SHW-M180L.
I tried clockwork mod and I chose a US CDMA Verizion clockwork tool.
I loost the recovery mode, as it wasn't compatible.
Before that I tried recovery2e.zip from the forums. It wasn't an wise idea to mess with recovery mode.
I took me a bit of surfing how to force the device in download mode by pressing buttons (the home key) and I got the thing back.
Tegrak had an odin version of the latest firmware for the tab on his page pspmaster.tistory.com and after reflashing it I was back on my merry way.
I'm using Tegrak's kernel which now supports unsigned update.zips as of the latest version.
What is the big deal with clockworkmod? Most of the patches for it are for US based roms anyway, so there isn't much demand for it in Korea? Maybe someone could update me if there is any point ot try again.
I may be a android newbie, but one thing for sure I'm not al Linux newbie. I am thinking of making a ONENAND supporing MTD kernel with AXFS/EXT2 execute in place and making a better swap driver using ramzswap and an app to manage it for the market.
Your thoughts please!

Have you succesfully flash your device? I have same model as yours. If it does what rom are you using? Thanks

That's my model below. I'm a fan of tegraks kernel except I'm yet to find where he is dumping his source. I don't see much point for clockwork mod in Korea.

Yep using odin. I'll try out heimdall too in the near future. tegrak's kernel can be also installed by a sgs kernel flasher after you rooted the phone with superoneclick. I can email you the zimage if you PM me. The download page is pspmaster.tistory.com for tegrak and I'm sure you can find the leaked version of odin for your tab. Remember to press volume down when booting to put it into download mode before running odin.
As for the other debug question hit me in a month. Just got a job in a mobile game development company
I'd rather hack stock roms in korea than customize it using someone elses image.

[Q] trying to do a backup from ROM manager.

When the Galaxy tab reboots when trying to do anything from rom manager I get this screen. Its rooted with stock ROM. What does this screen mean? And how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance.

can you mention which stock rom you have , what is your galaxy tab model ...
and why in earth someone use ROM manager it's not for the galaxy TAB ....
Sorry its Verizon galaxy tab sch-1800

Thank you for any help

Rom manager was not meant for the tab as is. You need to flash a proper recovery first.

UHG! I am so confused, ok, gonna do more reading... there are just so many differences in tabs and roms and kernels and bootloaders and flashes and ... ok, gonna try and figure it out.
at least i will stop spinning my wheels with rom manager... I guess I was confused because it has the option to flash clockworkmod recovery for my specific device Galaxy Tab - Verizon.
off to do some better research... throw a link or two at me if you feel so enticed as to throwing something

[Q] laggy!!!

my 10 day old galaxy s is very laggy!!! it is rooted too.. can anyone help me please and can someone tell me how do i unroot... i rooted with chainfire's cf-root.. thanks
If you find it laggy now, unrooting it would probably be the wrong step to take, as root is required for the majority of modifications you can do to your phone.
Overclocking your phone will provide you with more performance. I would also recommend checking out Pikachu01's scripts, as they will help immensely. Also, make sure none of your apps are monopolizing your CPU in the background.
I'm sure others will have a ton more advice to give. Tweak your phone to work how you want it and you'll be more than pleased, I guarantee it. My SGS certainly does not lag on me, but it did take a little tweaking to get it there. Good luck!
If you want someone to help you, you need to provide more information. What version of firmware are you currently running?

My friend also said his lagged after rooting, there is a unrooting script
Just download Semaphore or TalonDEV kernel AND Thunderbolt scripts that you need.
Unrooting shall accomplish nothing. You need a new kernel and scripts/tweaks like Thunderbolt has.

You won't lose your warranty because of root. Samsung does not care if phone is rooted or not. Just like the others say : download a custom firmware with custom kernel and use pikachus thunderbolt scripts.
This is the only way to help you
To unroot you just have to flash the stock firmware that came with your phone (you can see a list in SamMobile site). Easier way if you just want to unroot is to flash stock kernel (unrooted one).
If you just want to phone to its original state when you bought it. Then power it down. Then hold power, home, and volume up all together. This will put you into recovery mode. Do a wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone. If you're still not satisfied with your phone then also reformat your internal usb under settings> storage. You will lose all info on your phone so do a back up of important data. This is where root is good because you can use titanium backup. After reset your phone will however still be rooted.... But you won't be even close to unleashing the real full potential of your phone unless you upgrade your firmware and kernals with Thunderbolt.

Gingerbread has always been laggy due to lack of ram. If you want a really good and absolutely lag-free rom, I really recommend that you flash your phone to Froyo 2.2.1 (ZSJPK). It has been the best rom I've used, compared to JVT, JVZ, AOSP ICS roms, and a bunch of other custom roms.
Agree about GB, its best if you remove all the Samsung bloatware and services, and try not to use apps that use up RAM via services.
I use stock jvt with all the bloat removed, a nice theme, and semaphore 2.4.0 bm and it runs very well. I do have to freeze facebook when not in use, but it makes a difference. I also tuned ext4

Well why don't you flash a custom rom, there are plenty of them with amazing speeds and you shud try them, also you can simply use a lag fix like the one from voodoo if you don't want to get into the rome and stuff.
another question guys.. i have 2.3.3.. i tried to update ( through kies) but it says i'm up to date.. because the thunderbolt kernel requires minimum 2.3.4, how do i update it???

This worked. Thank you. One more question if you don't mind.
A new clockwork mod manager was installed using the cf-root you linked. However when I open it it tells me that I'm running a different kernel and that several features have been disabled. Is possible for me to flash a different kernel to gain the usage of these features?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit Build Versions

Hi, I have a question about the S3 Toolkit. I have a International S3 LTE, GT-I9305. I am on stock ROM, and on Android 4.1.2, build no. JZO54K.I9305XXBMB4, baseband version I9305XXBMA2. I am trying to root my phone through the toolkit, but there is a problem I encountered. There are two versions I see under International LTE that are similar to the above version numbers. The first one is 15. Android 4.1.2 [Build JZO54K BLL3] and the other is 16. Android 4.1.2 [Build JZO54K BLL5]. As you have read, i'm trying to root my phone, but if I select the wrong device version and build, it might brick my phone, so how do I find out which number is it behind BLL? Like BLL3 or BLL5?
AW: [Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit Build Versions
Try framaroot to root your phone(frodo exploit), worked great for my s3lte:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37508806
If i understand it rightly the toolkit contains kind of prerooted images which must correspond to your actual rom and will be flashed to your phone. Both versions you mentioned don't match your actual rom. Btw framaroot is an app and nothing gets flashed so imho much saver and no risk of flashing the wrong image.

Ok, actually I did try Framaroot once, but all the exploits didn't work. I'm going to try it again, I'll edit this post once I'm done.
Edit: I tried Framaroot again, and both exploits didn't work. I tried the options for installing SuperSU and Superuser, both also didn't work. (funny that the Settings button doesn't do anything.)

Thanks, but I found this app called Samsung Quick Root, and it says it can be used for all Samsung phones. Can I use this instead?
Edit : BTW, is there a way I can retain the original kernel (the one i'm using now; stock) so I can flash it back after installing the insecure kernel? (I can use any insecure kernel right?)
You could try but rooting doesn't give you a different kernel. It usually involves getting a custom recovery and flashing super user

Edit: Another different question, is there any way I can do a screenshot using the stock method (I believe it's Vol Down+Home?) on the S3? Without the motion (slide palm over screen) screenshot thing option turned on, I tried different combinations of hardware buttons, but none worked. How?
Sent from a phone which can make Galaxies.
Random bump, but just curious (I didn't want to flood that previous post. ). Will Samsung make a 4.2.1 update for the I9305? Or will they just wait until 5.0 is out, then make a 5.0 update (if Samsung does update the original S3 to 5.0 when its out, they probably should make one for the I9305 right?)?

I assume your phone build is not under the toolkit? I did not root my phone using that method. This is how I rooted my phone:
1. Using Odin, I flashed the CWM recovery.
2. Went into recovery, flashed the root zip I got from one of the threads here.
3. Rooted!

[Q] Stuck with Ginerbread 2.3.6, Slowdown. Need Help

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.

Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )

I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

Thanks!
Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

I use G CLOUD BACKUP just for Sms and system settings

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?

Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
