[Q] what's last firmware?

Hello, I'm kinda new to the Galaxy Tab. Just a quick question: what's last firmware release for the Tab? I've actually installed JM6 from samfirmware.
Tux in advance for your answers.

There are lots of firmware ROMs on this site.
I am currently using the Overcome kernel and v1.4.0 ROM which was only released in the last couple of days. You can check itout here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
All the best.

for official firmware http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm have a look, but carefully because has a protected bootloader !

Thank you to both of you for the tips.
I've been thinking about giving Overcome a try, perhaps the time has come.
Cheers,
William

Sorry, but I can hardly get what you mean. There is a good howto about installing Overcome linked in the 1st post of the thread. I just used that one and everything worked as a charm.

Flashing to an unoffical firmware from an official one will wipe ALL your data. Back up what you need. You're not losing anything useful.
As suggested by maddler, read the HOWTO that is linked from in the 1st post of the Overcome thread and it'll tell you what you need. It helps to read the instructions rather than just looking for download links.

Upgrading VZW tab

I have the SCH-I800 or verizons galaxy tab and am looking to upgrade it some. It currently has galaxy cubed and I wanted to go to CyanogenMod9 or ICS. I tried going to CyanogenMod9 from clockwork but it aborts with error code 7. So does anyone have some recommendations as to what I should upgrade 2 and a rather noobish guide on how to do it?
Thanks

Been using this from weeks , have no problem. Perfect daily driver

I recently purchased the same VZW tab (part of $49 close-out sale) and have been unable to find definitive instructions for rooting the device. Would you mind sharing a link that describes the steps?
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I have been reading your threads on rooting the original verizon galaxy tab and everything makes sense through root. In one of your posts you say,
"After rooting install clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 ( not sure abt this it can be 5.0.7.2) with heimdall .
Than u can install ics from first link provided "
I am very new at flashing roms, so this portion of your phrase is not clear to me. Before I root, I want to have decent confidence I can get ICS onto my tab. Have downloaded the daily driver you noted (Build 10 and the patch) into folders to flash....None of the files in each look like what was inside the Vanilla folder. ANy additional advice or steps you can provide post root would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance. Will post this on the thread as well in case others are in the same boat.

gonna try it tonight
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585619
from what i read this is suppose to work the same way on the vzw tab. im gonna try tonight and report back.
as per cm9 instructions the rom is suppose to be flashed thru cwm not thru heimdall.... but first you have to upgrade cmw to the 5.. one
*edit*
i followed this method. instead. method above made me soft brick my tab. post #563 has the instructions.... you must use winzip to unzip cmw recovery file

I had a lot of problems at first too.
The first step you need to do root it with super one click root.
Do a search in the forums. There are several tutorials that explain how to use it. It's really simple.
Using that programs getting the phone to root was easy. The problem I had was the flashing part and getting Odin to work for the first time to install clock work recovery.

Do you mind providing a link? I really need to know the step-by-step procedure and see the reliabilty.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

1) download the latest 2.3.6 JW4 firmware (for GT-I9000) from sammobile.com. Also download ODIN and flashing guide.
2) For CF-root , following the instruction on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108.
If you don't want to upgrade to 2.36 then just follow link in the second step . That should have the instructions and the download link for your GB rom. Ensure that you pick the right tar file corresponding to your firmware version.

I am sorry but i am a little dumb and slow -.- I not quite get thr threadnposted by Chainfire, in which the link you provided. I am using a gingerbread 2.3.3 . So what am I supposed to do? Cos they say smth like CF-root Gingerbread (2.4 XXjvk or newer) . What does this actually means? And after that i couldn't get the whole chunk.

The safest way is:
Download a stock GB Rom and flash it via pc Odin following the instruction on Mr Ketan's Thread.
Root it using the same guide.
Go into Recovery
Flash Paranoid Rom
Flash new Gapps
Full wipe (recommended)
You are ready!
The DANGEROUS way:
Go into Recovery
Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2 (red pill)
Reboot into RECOVERY not system (option found in recovery-->advanced)
Flash Paranoid
Flash new Gapps
Full wipe (recommended)
You are ready!
P.S.
The second method may BRICK your device, so choose carefuly mate!
Hope that helps!

Can i do this thru mobile odin

It's best to go with PC Odin.
Why risk at all?
Good luck mate.

I was thinking of creating a thread where i can post tutorials for interchanging ROMs
Does the tutorial posted above applies to all the ROMs out there or is it diffirent for each ROM??
i think it will help everybody and also help me learning more about android
Thank you

If you don't know that already, then refrain from putting up tutorials just as yet. It would surely help people, but then you run the risk of misguiding them (or not being able to answer questions) since you don't seem to have a good grasp of the subject. Get some more game time and help yourself to knowing all the stuff, and you will get there.
But if you feel you know enough, go ahead and try.

Is great that there are people like you here, wanting to help out others.
I totally support your way of thinking but there is a major issue.
Every Rom has specific instruction created by the Dev. I'm thinking that the idea of creating a new thread just for instruction maybe it's over the actual needs of the users. IMO it's equally important if you reply to all the question made by new users here on Q & A Section. You can guide them to the correct direction keeping them safe from easy to make mistakes.
Please let me know what you decide and I will be there for more information and help bro!
Nice meeting you, regards!

well its true that I am uncertain of the requirements of flashing as of now thus I think it is not a good idea to post anything before learning it properly.
I will learn more about flashing and then will definitely put up a thread here at XDA
thank you very much
and yes the idea was not to just post tutorials for each ROM it was to post a guide on "how to flash successfully from one ROM to another" but again I am unsure of the proper steps myself. I think I will select a few ROMs and do a research by following those threads and then post anything related to them.
clicked thanks for both of you

@tyson - After posting that I thought it could come off a little too harsh. Nice to see you taking it constructively as intended, top lad!

Read the FAQ thread in development, and from there figure out how to flash a stock rom.

Search "ramad" and follow instructions how to flash roms

Hi Hi
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493 This link will take you to an excellent step-by-step guide to not only fixing your boot loop and getting back to a stable 4.0 or 2.3 rom but also includes all the necesary files. I recently had the same issue you are having and while the other replies here regarding searching for the answer are good it can sometimes be daunting.
On the other hand you can use this link.

I haven't used this stepby-step before but it does contain picture so for the sake of completeness I would use the first link provided and supplement it with the screenshots from the second link. Good luck!
