Hello! I apologize for adding yet another post about this, but I've looked around the forums, and it seems like all of the answers are scattered all over the place. It just ended up confusing me even more, so I'm hoping someone can clarify a few things for me.
I'm looking to flash back to stock 2.1 from Rogers, and update to 2.2 via Kies. I want to return my phone to Rogers since I'm having the shutdown problems (it's shutting down frequently now), so I'm trying to get my warranty restored. My phone is currently the unofficial AT&T 2.2 ROM from I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgear (ODIN one-click).
From reading around, I saw that there are two methods to restore stock - either by ODIN3 or Heimdall - but it seems like people had a different ROM from the one I have right now, and I'm not really sure if this should make a difference.
I don't really want to end up with a brick phone, so any tips you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

edit: i see you were posting in that thread already....
Yeah. orz I probably should have waited more, but I thought no one was really looking at that thread as frequently.
Thanks though! I'll just stick to that thread instead.
well, i haven't used heimdall, but i've used odin. it won't matter what rom you are currently on. what i would suggest is making sure you have 3 button recovery working correctly before using though.... just because there are versions of the one-click odin that will remove it, and i see that's what you have used... although i believe the flash you did shouldn't have removed it. you will not be able to get to "true" rogers stock, but if you follow some of instructions in the posts in that thread, your phone will get pretty close to stock - boot screens and all. i don't know how hard rogers will look at your phone before determining whether or not it will be covered.
Thank you so much for the reply!
The three-button recovery is the vol+, vol-, and power button, right? Also, if it isn't "true" Rogers stock, does that mean it isn't advisable to update to the official 2.2 ROM via Kies?
Good Morning/Afternoon Everyone viewing.
I have the Motorola Atrix (ATT) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab (Sprint), Both had root at one point, but thanks to Firmware updates, neither are rooted.
I originally rooted my Tablet with z4root, which worked as expected and perfectly. Once I updated to sprints latest (Firmware 2.2.1, Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build Number SPH-P100.EB28) I lost root. So, z4root worked originally, I tried it again, and now, it runs, it flashes that it is acquiring root shell, installs the Superuser App then the App (z4root v1.3.0.) ends and brings back to the home screen. No Reboot, nothing else. I fire up a Terminal and it's normal, $, not root, #. I've tried running z4root a few times, using perm and even temp root options, have performed a factory reset, and nothing has worked. So, with all this hassle thus far, I'm reaching out. I've searched a bit and started getting pretty confused on what does and does not work, so is there anyone out there who can point me to the correct thread or at least toss out a Method that Does in fact work for my version, I would be extremely Jazzed, Happy, Appreciative, Might get a Cat and name it after you (And I am allergic to those beasts.).
As for the Atrix, I am more pressed to root the tab as I would like to start playing with Custom ROMs on it (Cyanogen 7 looks like fun.). But Wanting root back on the Atrix would be nice so I can switch from using PdaNet to using Barnacle again. Same experience with z4root, it originally worked, now, no go. Atrix info is Firmware at 2.2.1, System Version: 4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US, Kernel: 2.6.32.9-00005-gde8e6dc, and Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.5.7.
Any help provided, again, would be greatly Appreciated.
Double posted for some reason.
z4root doesn't work on newer firmwares. Try looking superoneclick with temproot. Or you could use oldin to revert to the original firmware and use Z4 to root then install custom rom that is 2.2.1 base then updated latest firmware as the developer updates it.
Google your devices and got these results.

#1 rule of Android - if you're running a hacked / rooted system, NEVER
apply an update until someone you trust has confirmed it's hackable!
Thank you Jerry, I ran across a thread earlier on taking the tab back to eb24 from 28, so I will do so tonight. The Atrix ill conquer next. =)

Was not aware I actually had to click the "Thanks" Button (Did not see it in TapaTalk.) and got a bit grumpy at first due to me saying Thanks but you posted this reply. I hit the button, Thanks again.
Im working on 4 or 5 roms right now, and seem to be having some strange errors, and issues while trying to use CWM to flash roms and kernals.
Kernals Im using
Boushh's Khasmek Voodoo v4, v405, v409, and v5.0
In that I get various builds of CWM
I have also used whatever CWM comes with the Verizon Bootstrap Program.
Roms I am working with are Based on DJ11, ECO2, and a Gingerbread port to hopefully be released this week.
Now, couple things...
If I do a manual recovery boot by holding power+Vol Up I get no sd card support, and will have to go to Advanced/Reboot Recovery in order to not only see an SD Card, but to install something, kernal or Rom
I also, upon typing this have seemed to have noticed a new bug where I choose to reboot system after install, only to have it go back to cwm no matter what I clear.
Also, I noticed various CWM's will also just not allow me access at all, period. It will appear on the screen for 3 sec, then black, but pressing the power button only brings it back up for 2 seconds.
Any ideas as to whats going on?
Nevermind. I had a bad cwm from a cdma cm7port that i forgot to flash back over

Recovery help
I just purchased a VZW Galaxy Tab with EC02 installed. I got it rooted and would like some help to move further. I have read many threads and different forums but I can not find a definitive way to install CWM. I see you mentioned Verizon Tab Bootstrapper and wanted to know if this worked for you. I purchased it for $2.99 in the Market but I am hesitant on proceeding. I have read too many issues after installing the bootstrapper. Screen rotation, camera issues, etc..... Did you encounter any issues?
I would really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: 27/11/11
I have started a thread in the development section that contains all this information, please leave any findings or questions there, I believe members will find it more helpful there.
The thread can be found here
I have removed the file links from the OP to stop any confusion in the future. All files can be found in the other thread where it will be maintained and updated (if necessary) in the future.
Thanks for reading.
UPDATE: 27/11/11
Andrew_Low has provided a copy of his stock FROYO backup, which I tested on my tab and confirm that it is working. The kernel is rooted, other than that it is a clean ROGERS rom.
He was also able to capture the GINGERBREAD update, (which I have not tested as of yet, any testers please post your results) this is the stock update available from KIES.
Many thanks to him for this, if it helps you, hit his thank you button[/URL]. If you find this thread helpful as well, hit my thank you button.
Instructions on flashing are not provided. If you need these files it means you know how to flash your device, have flashed a custom ROM previously, and require this to return to a stock state.

I am looking for the stock firmware for a Rogers Galaxy Tab (P1000UXJJ6)
There are many posts mentioning it, even asking for it, but no firmware to be found.
If anyone has a copy of it can you please post a link here or PM me, or even if you have a backup of the original ROM (or if you can make a backup if you have the original software on your tab). Anything will do, as searching for it has not showed any results.

Not an easy ROM to find is it?
Anybody ?
Any fresh ROGERS tabs out there???
I just picked up a used Galaxy Tab that has this firmware on it. I'm not new to hacking Android devices, but the Tab is new to me.
I haven't installed Kies yet, but will in a couple of days and can make a backup.
That would be just great, thank you very much, and I assure you that you will be glad that you made a backup for yourself as well in the future (hopefully not though, I don't expect you to have problems or anything like that but you know what I mean).
If possible, can you make the backup before you root the device, otherwise it seems to be a bit of a headache trying to get it un-rooted after the fact.
Many thanks.
EDIT: I guess i'm thinking more of a temp root than a perm root before backup
Sigh, I'm in noobville here with Kies.
Cross booted to Windows XP (I normally use Linux as my desktop) - installed Kies and sorted out USB connectivity.
I don't see where in Kies I can do a firmware backup. The backup just grabs the user data from the device.
It detects my firmware version and offers me the chance to update (which I assume would be a bad idea). Quickly looking on the net, you can 'capture' the firmware files during an update - but that doesn't help grab the version I'm running. Seems there may be a registry hack that lets you install older versions in Kies? If that's true, why can't anyone with a Rogers tab just get the old firmware easily?
Looking for a bit of hand holding.
Oh yeah, and device is bone stock. I'll likely root, unlock and install CyanogenMod - but I'm in no rush. Happy to try to help capture the stock ROM. It may help me out in the future, you never know.
Search for Roto-backup, it is a way to back it up bit by bit. It's a thread by Rotohammer, using his technique members were able to provide UN-ROOTED firmware, which are posted in the dev section. Have a little read see what you think.
The Roto-backup link was helpful, but that requires rooting.
Here's what I've done. Starting with a bone stock, factory reset device. I rooted the device using SuperOneClick 2.2. Sadly I had to run this under Windows to get it to work, mono + Ubuntu didn't seem to work out
I used the default "auto" method of rooting with SuperOneClick, and I did install busybox. In theory - if you really wanted to have an un-rooted stock, you could use the Unroot option of SuperOneClick.
Then I used the roto-backup script. This seems to have worked and I've got a 250MB zip file that I believe contains the stock firmware.
Are you brave enough to test it?
Files were zipped into a single file then split into chunks using RAR to get around upload limits. Grab them from skydrive.
Nice. I have a backup I came across but it's screwy and can't be un-rooted. The root method you used was temporary or perm?, the difference would be one disappears after a reboot.
When I originaly did my backup I used a temp root and came up with a file that I'm pretty sure was about the same size.
Brave you ask? I'm downloading the 3 RARs right now and will check it out.
Many thanks, will flash and tell you how it goes.
Well, Andrew_Low, it worked like a charm. The flash went smooth I will attempt to un-root shortly, and tell you how it went.
Glad it worked. Let me know if unroot via SuperOnClick 2.2 goes ok.
Why do you want non root? Warranty claim?
Slightly off topic, what ROM would you recommend? Seems any AT&T compatible ROM should play ok on the Rogers tab. I'm partial to CM being that's what is on my phone.

It is for warranty reasons, I have two tabs one was acting up. I did re stock it and sent it back but I wasn't able to un-root so I'll see if it goes through with samsung.
I HAD my stock rom that I somehow deleted (or just misplaced, cause I can't find it anywhere) Then I figured that I am not the only one who may need this, and since it is harder to find, I thought that I would try and help out the P1000R folks by getting a stock rogers rom for those who would like to revert. I was going to wait until I receive my tab back and see what they did to it and maybe have a fresh rogers rom on it to backup. I plan on posting it for members to have.
Our Rogers tabs are great for flashing anything on it really (p1000 related of course). Currently I have BOCA on mine, I had HC RC1 on it previously for a good little bit, and was going to put the ICS alpha build on it, but now since I'm left with one I use it for business purposes and require full functionality out of it. The tab that I sent back had OVERCOME KRATOS on it. Funny enough, this tab is the one that i'm always flashing different roms on and overclocking and plain old abusing it yet it was the other one that crapped out.
I recommend the OVERCOME rom as it is very stable, fast and reliable with almost no bugs. Combined with the bell modem it could also be used for phone calls if necessary. But experiment with any one you want until you find one that suits your needs, I found both my tabs hard to brick so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. I can't wait for an ICS beta rom to stick on this one.
Cool. I'm interested in a clean stock ROM if one shows up, please post to this thread. I'll try the unroot and see if that works for me.
Open to pointers on how to soft root and capture ROM. Seems feasible, but I didn't find a way to soft root and give me enough to roto backup.

Looking for a clean stock ROM for Rogers as well for warranty work, thanks!
Can't folk use the 2.3 firmware from kies? I haven't tried, but if you flash the rooted UXJJ6 from this thread then use Kies to upgrade to 2.3 you'd be in an unrooted stock state.

Hmm, very interesting. I ran the unroot on my device and it did manage to remove the superuser apk, but beyond that the device appears to still be rooted - busybox is still installed, and when I shell in over adb I get the # indicating root access.
I suspect just removing the superuser app is enough to make it appear 'as stock' - but any expert digging into the device and it's easy to see things are not stock.
If I were to try again - seems zergRush may be the local root you want to use, then from there figure out how to backup the ROM.
[edit] Ooh... reboot and adb has lost the # - I still see busybox installed in /system/xbin/busybox - I suspect this is pretty close to 'stock' if I punt the /system/xbin stuff entirely.
I'm not sure I'm that motivated to chase this further - I can't guarantee it is 100% stock, and it's the same as dl'ing the files I previously uploaded and running SuperOneClick 2.2 unroot + removing the busybox stuff as I specified above. The only mystery here is really what causes adb to have root privs when rooted.
Sweet - appears I was able to grab the ROM from Kies during the 2.3 upgrade - so I've got a copy of the clean/stock Rogers GINGERBREAD.UXKG1 firmware.
Will upload and link here in the next couple of days.
Very sweet, I will post it in the OP for reference.

I will post the Froyo version on the first post for reference, but if you are willing to wait Andrew_Low is generously going to provide a stock rogers Gingerbread rom which I will post for you and others in the OP.

+1 to theREDlegion for cleaning this stuff up and making the thread useful.
So I'm attempting to prolong my Captivate's life a bit by upgrading to a newer version of android, and perhaps a more efficient one as well, but I'm brand new at this...my total experience so far of tinkering with phones has been on old Java phones, which are entirely different. >_<
So far I've managed to upgrade it to gingerbread root it, using a guide I'd googled up on another forum...can't link to it since I don't have the required number of posts yet. I think, basically, what I've done here is flashed in a kernel that rooted the thing, and then flashed it back to stock, which seems to be fairly routine?
Anyway, based on what I've been able to dig up, my best course of action seems to be to install clockworkmod, and then my custom ROM (cyanogenmod or slimkat?) on top of that, but I've spent the last three days or so rooting around through various guides and, this being an older phone, I've pretty much always ended up with either broken links and outdated information, or guides intended for more advanced users that give little information on how to actually do things. Flashing a ROM seems straightforward enough, so I guess what I'm asking is if there's an up to date, newb-friendly guide on how to get some version of clockworkmod onto this thing? The official post I found recommended using an app from the store that no longer supports this handset, so it wasn't much help...

Hey there, welcome to the joy of flashing
So you've got a good start. I've written up a quick guide couple years ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36992233 - Pretty straight forward, just gotta follow the steps.
And here, Trusselo wrote a more detailed guide with links to get you going: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
I've recently flashed my little brother's cappy using those links so they should all work. As for the ROM, I do like GamerzROM a lot for this device but if you want something more up to date, CM and slimkat are good options too.
Thank you so much! I've got cyanogenmod up and running now (the slimkat rom wouldn't boot properly...), and really the only problem I had was figuring out why my data wouldn't work.
For anyone finding this thread on google, apparently Cyanogenmod on AT&T defaults to using their LTE network, which isn't supported...just had to switch it back to WAP. To do that, it's "settings > mobile network settings > access point names/APNs" to fix that bit. You'll want "wap.cingular / ATT" instead of "pta / AT&T LTE". You'll also probably be looking for google's default apps...I found them on cyanogenmod's wiki.
