Hello. I just got the VZW tab yesterday and followed all the forums to root with oneclick. Worked. Used rom manager to flash CWM 3 and it will boot into it, however, the option to flash a file isnt there. Only wipe cache, factory reset, and flash update.zip and reboot. I've looked everywhere for two days.
Any ideas? Thank you for your help

So I was using Darky's ROM v9.3 and everything was fine for a couple of months. I had a force close on a game that always worked in past so went to reboot phone. At this time my phone simply failed to finish rebooting. The phone got past the "GALAXY" screen title and then was caught in the "Darky's ROM" title.
I still had download and recovery mode (clockworkmod) so I tried to do a recovery. The recovery file was from just after I had flashed Darky's ROM. This time when I rebooted the phone did not even make it past the "GALAXY" screen title. Furthermore, on this title screen, it initially shows that it is a "GT-i9000 M" but then the "M" drops from the model description.
I have been trying everything I can to simply get a clean copy of the rom onto my internal sd card but no matter what I do Samsung Kies wont connect to the device so that I can copy the .zip to reflash.
I have tried enabling and disabling debugging, I have tried using "download" mode, I have tried mounting system etc and all to no avail.
Pleas help! Can anyone give a detailed description of settings needed to connect to the pc successfully so i can download a rom for a reflash?
If your download mode works flash rom via odin

I have cm7 on my phone, recently I've been trying to flash a nightly on my cappy and after the install "about phone" still shows the old mod. ROM manager also shows the old mod as my "current ROM"
I've tried reflashing, and even downloading onto my computer copying it to my card and trying to install through recovery and get stuck in bootloop. Ive deleted old mods from the download folder and Ive also tried different nightlies and have the same problem. Any help is appreciated

..and you've done the basic clearing your caches, data and dalvik? You may want to try a fac reset. That fixes a lot of problems sometimes
.. for the future you should post in the cm7 q&a's. Even if it is a nightly
Yeah, Ive done the wipes and caches. I guess I'll try fac reset. Thank you for the help

Ok, I did a fac reset, wipe cache, dalvik. Downloaded latest build through Rom manager, did cache, dalvik again, and still have the same results. Any ideas?

I know, my friends think I'm crazy. So I'm thinking I could flash back to stock and then start over? So, to do this I need to flash the stock Rom using Odin with repartitioning, correct? I'm assuming I can't use Odin jf6 one click because it doesn't repartition, or does it?

Yeah.. Odin one click JF6 does the repartition. I've flash back to stock a few times using that method and the last time being just a couple weeks ago. That is about your best bet. Odin back to stock.. get cwm and flash nightly. Its gotta stick then... you'd think

Well I have had the Revolution for about a week now. I have rooted it and downloaded the CWM. Also have read that CWM for revo will soon work with ROM Manager. Any new news on this. I want to change ROMS and Im not sure how else to do so.
Put the rom on your ad and then flash in cwm...

To flash a ROM in CWM:
1. Download ROM and move to your SD card
2. Reboot into by either downloading an app or by powering down the phone and then pressing Power and Volume down until you are prompted to wipe phone data. Press power button twice and you will boot into CWM.
3. In CWM make a backup (inside backup and restore menu)
4. After the back up wipe user data, cache, and dalvik (dalvik located in advanced menu)
5. Go to flash a zip --> choose zip --> choose the zip --> Select yes
6. After it flashes go back and wip data, cache, and dalvik again
7. Reboot
8. profit

Full instructions, from receiving the phone for the first time to Gingervolt:
1. BEFORE ROOTING, install any OTA updates. (Settings> About phone> Software Update)
2. Root. I used the latest SuperOneClick, with psneuter. (Zergrush doesn't seem to work after updating) Ignore the warning that says psneuter doesn't usually work on devices on 2.3.3+.
3. Use RevoToolkit to install CWM. DO NOT use ROM Manager, as it will leave you unable to leave recovery.
4. Get everything ready for flashing:
4a. Get Gingervolt and put it in your SD card.
4b. Make sure that the device has 4G enabled. (Settings> Wireless & Networks> Mobile networks> System select> Network mode: LTE/CDMA)
5. Reboot into recovery. RevoToolkit has a button for it. You can also hold Power and Volume Down buttons while the device starts up.
6. In CWM recovery, make a backup. (backup and restore> Backup)
7. Wipe user data. (Wipe data/Factory reset)
8. Install Gingervolt. (Install zip from sdcard)
9. Reboot
10. Complete initial setup.
11. ???
12. PROFIT
Enjoy!
When I try to create a backup, it says "cant mount /sdcard"

Is there an sd card in your phone? Dumb question I know but I have to ask.
lol yea there is an sd card. don't think there's anything wrong with it and it's not an issue of not enough space on the card cause i still have like 14gb of room left on it.
What are you doing with that anyways I have never heard of anyone using it?

just trying to back up my current ROM but it won't let me. CWM just says "can't mount /sdcard"
I recently rooted my phone using the all in one revo package i got from this site. My phone rooted easily and I now have superuser on my applications list. However, I also installed CWM from the package and the installation process says that it was installed successfully, but it isn't actually on my phone.
Or if it is I can't find it anywhere. Anyone have a solution? I'm not really sure how it can be installed, but not installed. lol

If you want to use the touch one, yes, you have to do that every time but yu can also flash the cf root file, there are two versions the 5.3 and the 5.5, its a .tar file so you can flash it trough cmw(the apk) or trough mobile odin, if you choose cwm just run the apk and select the option "flash kernel" then you must find the .tar file, it means you have to extract it of the cf-root.zip... or in mobile odin is almost the same, you choose the "open file" option and then look for the .tar file, that should be enough.
