[Q] Can I flash CM7 via Odin? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how I can flash CM7 with Odin? I tried installing Heimdall, and I cannot get past error 12, and also error 3, so IDK what is up with that. Odin works, and I've used it to flash the overcome rom before. But I don't know in what order to flash the files, or if I need to reboot and flash more files, etc.
My tab is on ... GT-P1000, firmware 2.3.3, baseband P1000XXJPZ,
Kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2, build number GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
Please. Thank you.

Why not just flash via cwr

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I tried that, and it did not work for me.

S, have you rooted the tab and installed CWM or just flashed the rooted kernel with CWM already cooked in?
Its no good just flashing to gingerbread.
Also, with Heimdall, you need to flash the drivers 1st. Its called Zadig.exe in the drivers folder. It won't work otherwise ( this will take a little while, it even says so).
If you want to go back to Samsung drivers afterwards, just put the tab into download mode again (after flash is complete) and rollback the drivers. This has worked multiple times on my PC using Windows 7 64 bit...

did you use CWM from Rom Manager?
This is NOT optimized for the SGT.. nor is it encouraged.
Anyhow, have you tried to check if your computer can detect your tab, through Kies or Odin?

You the dude
Sent From (I'm In Luv With My Tab)
similar problem....also stuck on boot
but I got there a different way. (FIXED)
Let me start off by saying I am stupid I have a tmobile tab and it was running awesome on overcome 2.0.0 rc1 with ext4 conversion and OC kernel and then I saw the honeycomb alpha had been released for cdma, which of course I dont have (gsm), and decided to try the rom with the oc gsm kernel, which didnt work.
then I dun goofed. Instead of going back to overcome in cwm, I flashed the damn experimental honeycomb package again, kernel and all and then loaded the tab.....dumb...weird colors and then nothing....screen just goes black and no matter what I cannot see cwm screen. And now odin no longer recognizes the tab.
heimdall works and I flashed back kernal from :[OC/UV][7th Jun][Kernel] koxudaxi kernel [GSM][2.2&2.3][KernelPatch]
which gives me cwm, but it keeps giving me an error that i cant mount sd card
I have tried flashing the safe gingerbread stock with pit file (still stuck on boot logo)
then tried flashing rotostock tmobile rom ( but no pit file and when it boots it still shows the gingerbread bootlogo)....do i flash with P1_add_hidden.pit added?
Any and all help will be much appreciated. please don't be too mean. I know i shouldn't have done what i did
[UPDATE]
So I figured it out. I reinstalled samsung usb driver from within odin folder, and odin suddenly started working. went back to stock GB and then on to Overcome 2.0.0 Gold w/ ext4 and oc'd to 1.4
I had to reinstall the hiemdall driver too after reinstalling samsung driver, but now they both work again....... so stoked

[Q] Captivate ODIN doesnt see Cappy, in DL mode too

In normal running mode ODIN sees the Cappy, but when I switch to download mode it doesn't see it any more. I am trying to put my phone back to factory default so I can install CM7 but running into all kinds of problems. I did get the base system reinstalled using a One Click JAR that I found here on XDA. The phone seems to be ok with that.
ADB doesnt think there are any devices attached either when I am in download mode.
I did also try the Heimdall install methods and used their drivers, but that doesnt work either
All I am trying to do so far is get CWM installed
Any ideas?
Did you ever use Heimdall?

If you used a one-click jar file, I believe you used Heimdall, as Odin-based one-clicks would be .exe files. That being the case, if one of the one-click heimdalls worked, other ones should work as well.
If you don't mind me asking, which one-click did you use? What rom were you on when the other one worked, and what rom are you on now?
I installed this "SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click.jar" to get it to work in what I think is a factory default.
I am now trying to get the downloading to be recognized by Odin or Heimhall or anything/.
They all see the phone in normal mode but when in download they do not see it
Have you tried all of the USB ports on your computer? If you're on a desktop, make sure it's one of the ones in the back (directly attached to the motherboard). Also, if you haven't rebooted your computer, do that, and then see if the UCKB2 one-click sees your device.
You can also try the full heimdall package, as that has a tool that will quickly check to see if it sees a device in download mode.
ODIN doesnt see Cappy
Looks like the drivers from Heimhall mess up the ODIN drivers. I removed the drivers from System Drivers that the Heimhall installed and now the ODIN seems to see the device again.
Now I need to figure out what I need to put on the device to make it work

einstall the Samsung drivers. The zadig driver you installed for Heimdall causes problems with dl mode if you then try to use Odin.

I just figured this out. Now what CWM file does ODIN want? After all of this I am lost! I will start back at the first post on adding CWM I guess...!!
It's going to want a kernel with CWM baked into it, or you can flash the JF6-based one click file to get back to stock without the 3e recovery error. From there you can just root, then copy the rom you want to install to your internal SD card. Rename it "update.zip", and flash that.
If memory serves me correctly, that's the simplest way to flash from Eclair. You can also try to Odin in a CWM-friendly Froyo kernel, or copy the cwm file out of the AIO captivate toolbox (copy it out, don't directly use the tool).
To get cwm, use a kernel with cwm as jimtheiss said, in a tar format. Older Talon kernels were in tar, as was Speedmod, and I think xcal's reoriented kernel had a tar version.
Open Odin, use the pda slot for the kernel, uncheck reboot. Connect phone. When the yellow box lights up, hit start. When completed, pull the battery,reinsert battery, use button combo to get in recovery.

I can't seem to find Eclair with CWM. I did find a I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 EXE with ODIN built into the EXE but whatever happens on that version ODIN didnt see the phone.
The ODIN 1.85 sees the phone, but I do not know what to download and what there downloaded file goes in ODIN.
I also ran the JAR file again and it did get back to 2.2 but then I dont seem to be able to get CWM working.
All I wanted to do it put CM7 on the phone. I guess I have to have Eclair or Froyo first to get the CM7? I think that is what I read. I havent tried it from GB
I would suggest following mrhaley's directions about flashing the kernel.
And here is the speedmod kernel.

My 2 cents....if you have so much difficulty using Odin/Heimdall, I would highly recommend staying away from CM7 or MIUI until you are really comfortable flashing stuff without hiccups. CM7 and MIUI are quite different beasts, compare to the ROms ur flashing.

The only thing he needs to flash with Odin/Heimdall is the kernel to get cwm. Its the same for most other GB roms. After you get cwm, its just flashing from cwm, with an extra factory reset and ROM flash.

Ok to install Apex 12.2?

Hello xda!
So, after months of running Dlev's v5.0 ROM I figured its time for a change so I thought to give Apex 12.2 a shot but, while following the provided guide I got (sadly) stuck in step:
"Heimdall or ClockworkMod?
Are you already running an I9000 based ROM with ClockworkMod recovery version 3 or higher? If so, you may choose to install the kernel/modem package through CWM rather than Heimdall."
Thing is, I've never had to use Heimdall before (Odin has worked for me in the past just great) so I cant for the life of me get it to work: I put my phone succesfully in Download mode, then then i click on "Start" it gives me an "libusb error -12".
I've tried using other computers, switching USB ports, other operating systems, lots of drivers.. rebooting between each driver install, power-cycling both my captivate and pc.. Is there something wrong with my download mode/captivate?
(When powered on, i can correctly mount and read files from my sdcard on any computer, i can also mount the sdcard while on recovery, adb works just fine too)
I figured since the Dlev rom uses a i9000 JVQ firmware (2.3.4), and it comes with DarkCore Recovery v3.0.2.8x I could get away with using CWM rather than Heimdall?
Extra:
About phone info:
Baseband: I9000UGKC1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVR-CL425308
Any other info you may need, ask away!
Many thanks in advance
Alex.

You're answer is right there.... Use cwm.
The heimdall flash if for if you're NOT on an I9000 ROM. So it can flash the proper bootloaders, which you have already.
Thanx studacris, now running Apex 12.2

[Q] [i9000] [SOLVED] Upgrade to CM7.2.0

Here is my question: I have a SGS i9000 with froyo 2.2 stock and cf-root, by flashing cf-root i gained obviously root but also the recovery 2e that should be without signature verification. Now if i want to install CM7.2 can i just install it via recovery 2e by renaming it update.zip? or i will brick the phone? On Cm official wiki page about installing they say you need to have gingerbread installed but i'm on mac and i can't flash a gb rom because heimdall is not detecting the file, i also tried with a linux partition on my mac but it did not worked. to get root i used first z4root and then mobile odin to flash cf root with recovery 2e.
thanks in advance to who will help me!
PS: I also have a I9001(see signature) but the phone for wich i'm asking is a i9000!

download KIES for Mac from My Android collections link below, and upgrade your phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 (KIES will do it automatically) than root it with a semaphore kernel to get CWM, before going on to ICS and than to JB...should be done in this manner , do not jump from GB to JB ( you will have less problems)

ok i will try it, but kies from samsung site is not working at all. and moreover i have this problem, i just want to go from froyo to CyanogenMod 7.2 (android 2.3.6 GB). without any intention to go to ICS or JB. Second thing, if i manage to update from kies then heimdall is going to recognise it? Because if not i can't flash semaphore. Last thing i should uroot the device to update from kies right?
Many thanks for your help!
new information: I have installed your version of kies, and it finally recognise the phone, but it say that the device do not support update via kies, what can i do? thanks
Second edit: i researched and now i know the problem is that i cf-rooted my phone. so how could i revert? to cf-root i have used mobile odin after gained SU with z4root. i would had avoided to flash that if i had know that today kies were to recognise my phone! please help me lso if it was a noob mistake.

Ok, since you have installed KIES and working , heimdall should also be working, IF not you can download a latest heimdall mac version, from earlier link to update to ginger bread 2.3.6, before CM..also backup efs. contacts, images etc first, IF you have CWM, you can even do a nandroid backup, before any upgrade .
Always best to do progressive upgrade as it will not complicate the upgrade by jumping from froyo to CM ( which is a custom ROM) . Best to READ the developers Flashing guidelines before upgrade too.
Flashing the gingerbread ROM will automatically remove your earlier CF root, just download your original Firmware for your region from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 , than use a semaphore Kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 this will give you root plus CWM for you to upgrade to CM 7.2
Do not jump, as you need Gingerbread bootloaders for upgrade to CM
Solved!

Ok the problem was with froyo secondary bootloader, that is not recognised by heimdall if connected to a mac, nor to a VM Linux on the same mac. so i had borrowed my neighbour's netbook with windows 7. installed heimdall there and everything went smoothly. Firstly i have flashed a new GB rom, 2.3.6, the newer eropean one, then flashed CF-root for that rom with integrated CWM 3.x.x.x. The only problem was that when i flashed from cwm CM7.2.0 i hade a boot loop, so i had to swith off the fone by long pressing the power botton, then i booted in recovery, now the recovery was cwm 5.x.x.x so i wiped data/factpry reset and wiped cache, from the new cwm 5.x.x.x reinstalled CM7.2.0's zip and the latest gapps, booted again and everything went smooth from there.
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Odin just won't flash at all

Hi guys, my problem is as stated in the title, Odin just will not let me flash my Note. My note is currently on (older) CM12 NightOwl alpha 5 ROM maintained by @bauner at this thread and wanting to upgrade to his newest beta release. Since it has no working recovery I have to flash a working one via Odin, I had problems with Odin not recognising the Note, so I reinstalled Kies and it appears it was a driver issue, so that being solved I tried flashing the stock ROM for my phone with Odin saying it failed, then attempted flashing Philz Touch (3 different versions) and failed those, tried adding the correct pit file and reattempted all previous recoveries and the ROM and those failed too. Since the NightOwl ROM is in .zip format I only assume I can install from recovery, oh I also tried flashing a kernel he supplied in the thread. I've also tried various Odin versions.
Any ideas?
Guess these forums aren't very active nowadays?
1st make sure there are no kies processes running in task manager.
Then flash philz XXLTA tar kernel file using odin.

Thanks for the reply. I've managed to flash my phone now but I did it on my old laptop, so the problem appears to be with my PC. I'm not sure what it is though, the only difference I could figure is that I was using a USB 3.0 port on my PC, is there any known issues with that? Everything else that could effect it is the same. Both had the same drivers, both didn't have Kies running, I even used the same cable, the port I was using on the PC is functional and transfurs data to other devices correctly... This has got me clueless.
