Galaxy tab noob

I'm fairly new to the galaxy tab and i'm unsure how to change the rom to cm7 my galaxy tab is a bell one P1000M its un rooted its stock for now so where do i start?

Root with Z4root but don't attempt to get CM7. Its a beta and you need to know how to use Heimdall to flash it.
Sent from inside a whale.

any guide i should look at for using it?

Yes there is plenty of guides.
All roms come with introductions on how to install aswell as guides in teh sticky topics of teh forums.
Before you attempt to do anything to your device sit down and do some research otherwise you will be back here creating a "help I bricked my device urgent help" topic clone of the million others here.

You could read the OP in the CM7 development thread. Especially the part about how incomplete & unstable it is.
Either leave it alone, or flash Overcome instead for now, CM7 is several weeks away from being any use as a daily system.

I have been following the CM7 threads, seems like there is still some work to do to get it working on the tab.
I flashed overcome 1.4.4 and its very very nice. fast and smooth.

[Q] Bunch of questions about international Galaxy tab

I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) in India and i took back to U.S. After intense researching i finally was able to root it. Now I found a whole new array of questions and problems.
Here they are:
1. I cant seem to overclock it even with SetPU
2. I have no idea what ROMs will work on my model.
3. I have no idea what ODIN is and where i can get it.
4.On ROM Manager when i try to download the clockwork recovery mod thing i dont see my model. I only see sprint,verizon, and t-mobile models.
5. How do i upgrade my model to gingerbread.
6. How do i use ROM Manager.
7. My tab seems to be slow do you guys have any solution to make i lightning speed.
I am sorry i have repeated previously answered questions but when i check the forums it is difficult to find answers and guides for my specific model.
I will update if i have anymore questions.

New Question: What is the best ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Tab[GSM] that is super fast, easy to use, easy to install, highly customizable(looks wise), and looks good.
If you guys can show me a list of the benefits and disavantages of each ROM then that would be great.

Challenge accepted!
1. You probably have the GSM model. Without a modded kernel, you probably won't be able to overclock it. Why do you want to do that anyway, at this point?
2. All ROMs that have [GSM] specified in the thread name, except maybe N/L ones.
3. Don't worry about Odin. ROM threads have how-to's. Start off by reading the Overcome threads. Read carefully the first few posts.
4. Don't worry about that.
5. Read the Overcome thread. Use the ROM, flash it, there you go.
6. You don't need to use it yet. After you read the Overcome documentation, you will understand.
7. Appreciate your device. Lightning fast for Samsung may not be the same thing to you. Overcome, MIUI, BOCA and CM7 are all very powerful ROMs. Check them out.
PS: Thanks for posting in the right forum!
Cheers,
C.

I have taken in every word and it has helped me take off a load of questions. I still have one question that might contradict your reply. I have read the the GSM ROM threads and gingerbread threads and they all say something about flashing it on your system with odin. I really confused, i am sorry if my newbieness is annoying but i just want to make my tab awesome ondemand.

The overcome thread has links to ODIN and their guide on how to upgrade to gingerbread (download it as its VERY useful when 1st starting). Before doing anything though find out what your stock rom is and see if you can find it, will be helpful if something goes wrong with the flash, also check what radio you have now (again good tohave a copy if you want to revert to stock for warranty). There's a heap of information (posted in overcomes thread again, Thank you overcome) that will tell you what radio (modem.bin) you will need. Overcomes thread will also supply the p1000_mr.pit file and the stock gingerbread rom that you need before flashing to a lot of other roms.
Happy flashing and remember, reading the steps, not skipping ahead and asking if you're not sure of something is always a good thing...
Cheers...

Go to the Galaxy Tab Dev Thread. The Overcome Kratos thread is always on the first page, because it's so popular.
Before you load any ROM, make sure you copy your existing ROM, and verify it, so that you can restore if needed. I believe Roto Backup does this.
I didn't back up my stock ROM and now I don't have a way to get back to Stock. But the Overcome Kratos ROM is good.

That's known as a bootloop. ODIN is your friend in this case. Go here and read about ODIN and its How-to use it. Your SDcard contents are safe, as is your tablet. You only need to find a suitable ODIN image for your tablet right here, be sure to look for the 7310 section, not the 7300.

[Q] Help this complete Tab Newbie

Good evening all,
My Christmas present to myself arrived a bit early. Its a used Galaxy Tab 1000!!
It is running the Froyo 2.2 and when it boots up at some point it displays "Orange". I put my own sim (not Orange) first it says you cannot use your sim card, then i went to settings and enabled voice and it seems to be working.
Ideally i would like to install MIUI onto my tab, as I was using MIUI on an my HTC Desire and I was very happy with it.
I looked through the forum and i read the newbie guides and after some stress i managed to root it using z4root. (First i try with the Superoneclick but it stuck on step 7)
Now i am trying to install the MIUI but in most guides i saw it says i must to have gingerbread, but i dont know how to get there, and i dont want to destroy my Tab. I was saving my money for many days to get it.
Can somebody help me to get to MIUI?
Thanks

The Tab is still a pretty useful device! It's a P-1000, not one of the other versions? In that case it's best to install Overcome. It's a great way to put GB on a Tab. Look for one of priyana's posts, he has links to instructions and the files you'll need.
I just saw one of priyana's posts. That link should be this thread.

Hi ableeker and thanks for responding. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have read so many posts these past few days and it gets a bit confusing. I will study the post you suggested carefully and i will ask any questions there...
To answer your question it is a GT-P1000 (it says so on the back) and i bought it used from Austria (ebay). It is Orange branded (indicated by Orange logo splashscreen at startup and shutdown).
In the about phone screen i get the following information:
Model Number: GT-P1000
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: P1000BVJI3
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.BVJJ2
Ideally i would like to know whether the fact that this device is branded means that i have to use a different / adjusted process to install Overcome. But i will also ask this question in the post you pointed out to me.
Thanks once again for responding!

[Q] [q] how to get jb 4.3 on my samsung galaxy exhibit 4g

l am new in the rooting and installing the custom roms
i need help on every thing like updating a rom installed a lot
i am using SAMSUNG GALAXY EXHIBIT 4G

For rooting follow the guide in the first post of this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686384
To install a rom, follow the directions in the first post of any rom you are looking at. All info is on this site, most questions have already been answered. And use the search function when you get stuck. This is how we all learned. Good luck.

First thing you have to do is install CWN recovery, you can find all the info you need in this forum.

Make sure you have the correct Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G also, this forum is for the SGH-T679. I think there are a few different versions of the Galaxy Exhibit now. You can check by going to Settings > About phone and looking at the Model number. You can also check the label that's under the battery. It will brick your phone if you flash anything from this forum and you don't have the T679! If you do have the T679 though, follow the link that @Dvarl posted to get started. The version of CWM that is linked there is kind of old, but once you install that you can use it to upgrade to one of the newer versions in the Android Development forum.
The first thing you should do once you get CWM installed is use the backup feature to make a copy of your current stock ROM in case something goes wrong!
All of the custom ROMs should already have root access included. Let us know how it goes.
