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,

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...

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.

I will be getting a captivate at the end of this month (switching from iphone 3g). I have been doing lots of reading about different kernals and roms that can be installed. There seems to be so much its a little overwhelming at first few read throughs.
anyways ill get to the point
Is there a thread or page that lists all the different kernals and explains what it does including what works/dont work. If not is there a list of all kernals so I can research them individually?
Looking for the same for roms.
last question is on odin when you use it to revert back to the original image does it place the vendo specific (AT&T) apps back on the phone or is it a vanilla android flash. I was looking for a way to make it so they can not tell it was ever rooted incase of a warranty issue.
hope this helps otherwise your only option is to browse the threads for the kernels and ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887525
You should make your own stock backup just in case.
you have to go to dev threads to get different kernel / rom and try them yourself.
when you flash back to stock, you will have the exact rom with those att junks. that is "stock" means.

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.
Hi,
I have updated to JP9 uk stock rom using kies. I would have to say that I am not that happy with it (freezes, seems slow compared to 2.2). Having read about overcome, I think it is time to give it a go. Overcome Jupiter requires root, it does not seem possible to root (using superoneclick). So how do I get there?
Do I use CF Root, then overcome - has anybody else done this? Is there anything I should be watching out for?
cheers

First read the faq posted in question & answer section!
Then read the guide for overcome rom you'll understand everything!

Thanks lordrdx666,
I assure you that I have read many posts, and searched the forum, both on rooting stock gingerbread and flashing overcome.
My research has shown that stock gingerbread can not be rooted by superoneclick and that many users are searching for a solution. Also that some who have flashed CF-root have had "bricks". I have also checked the overcome site, here is a quote:
Your Tab must be rooted. (Please look for SuperOneClick root method as it’s usually the safe bet! But for more information on rooting, please refer here:
It refers to superoneclick.
So, as I suggested in my post I think the only option I have is to bitr the bullet and flash CF-Root, then follow the overcome steps. BUT, as far as I can tell there are not many that have gone from stock JP9. So I asked if this is my best option, has anybody else done it and what things should I avoid, this will be the most advanced things I have done with the tab, and yes I am a bit scared and worried about breaking it.
Just looking for help, thanks
Just read the team overcome guide. Don't do any other flashes until you read! The reason your JP9 is laggy is because you didn't upgrade correctly.
When you follow the guide exactly you will have root and a smooth tab.
Hi Rangercaptain,
I think my post may be misunderstood.
I have updated to JP9 via kies. It is the stock rom I am using, and it is that, that I am wanting to change.
I would like to go to the overcomne rom (having read about the different roms, this seems to be very well regarded (discussion on stock vs custom rom).
Do make this change overcome guide states I need root, superoneclick will not root gingerbread.
So the only way that I can see to get there is to root the tab using CF-root, then try to go to overcome.
As I have not used any other tool (if you can call kies a tool), I am nervous about doing these flashes.
My questions, therefore, are:
Have I got the best approach or is there a better way?
Has anybody else done the same sequence and can offer any experience related info
When I can get the confidence to go ahead I will be very diligent in following the instructions.
cheers

Well maybe you did read many posts, maybe you did search the forums. Sometimes there is a lot of reading to do and people tend to miss things. That's also why developers and other senior members complain about noobs asking questions that have been answered before and adding to all the posts that people have to search through. This ultimately affects both you and I and everyone else that has to read through all of the posts to find their answers, and it also makes noobs hesitate to ask questions so that they don't get a verbal lashing by senior members even though they had a valid reason to post.
So you know, your question was answered on post #2 by Lordrdx666, it was a very helpful post.
I'm also more than happy to help others on this forum, and i'm not being a d!ck, but so you know, here is what i came up with on my first search using good old google
try what i did to get results by clicking here
not sure if it applies to you but it should get you somewhere
If my link helped you, do click my thank you button.
I am running Overcome Kratos and would like to go back to Froyo, specifically the European rom that I first flashed to enable phone features on my AT&T galaxy tab. Can I just go through the same process i went through the first time I flashed from stock or do I have to do something special because im running 2.3 now? I dont want to run into bootloader trouble.
Thanks
Firstly, please dont use ridiculous titles like "Help please" that does not describe your topic in any way to people who are browsing pages or using search and searching topic titles. Titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic, Its in the rules and to be honest its should be just plain common sense.
To answer your question, Just follow the guide linked to froyo overcome topic. All you need to do is use the safe-restock package and then flash rom.

why do u wanna go back to froyo just flash safestock gb5 in overcomes site and youll be fine
I am tring to go back because I am having compatibility issues with some apps and games in Gingerbread.
Isn't GB5 safestock a gingerbread rom? Will it be safe to flash the Russian Froyo rom over GB5 safestock?
Firstly I apologize as I have found this being asked before, but not in these circumstances. I am new to android being a long time iphone user. I now have a N7000 that I used PC Odin to flash LPY. I have noticed all of the concerns over bricking and with my lack of knowledge I am thinking I should flash a custom rom to avoid these issues.
My question is which is a good rom to go with, ICS (Such as kingdroid 2.0 or something GB?) More accurately what is the best process? I am currently not rooted. I am ignorant to android and I have noticed a steep learning curve making the transition. I explain this to help understand why I am asking this question.
I have attempted to search, and I have browsed Dr. Ketan's thread, and I still cant find a good answer. I just don't want to have a bricked phone trying to get to a custom rom. Any help or suggestions is highly appreciated.
Should I root it first then use CWM to switch to another rom?
What custom roms are recommended for easy use out of the box?
Another quite simple question is if I saved all of my contacts to google are they currently synced, as in if I switch to another rom they will still be accessible?

What I would do if I were in your place: I'd revert to rooted GB like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
then I'd flash one of the CM9-based Roms, because they are the only truly safe ICS Roms ATM, and these are
1. official CM9
2. Asylum
3. Paranoid
4. MIUI
5. KANG
Also, your contacts are safe with Google, and you can restore them in no time at all.

Thanks for your response, when you say revert to a rooted GB is that the process through PC odin? Also does it need to be one of the safe roms? It seems the problem stems from a wiping command?
Hello!
Yes , use pc odin to revert back to gb, i did so, i used an prerooted stock gb .
Then follow chasmodos guides to go to ics again.
One more thing, to back up my apps so they are there on the new rom do I have to be rooted?

yes !! to use app like Titanium Backup !
or since you probably downloaded all apps from Google Play Market
then when u install your new firmware/rom you can simply download all of them from google play(but u lose the data of those apps )
