Hello All:
I have a stock, but rooted 8.9 P7300 with CWM installed. It has Honeycomb 3.1 installed. It was bought unlocked, not from a carrier.
Today I found a stock ROM online for 3.2. The file name is P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_ATO.zip. I understand that's the latest 3.2 ROM from Samsung from December of 2011.
Since it was a ZIP file, I figured I could use CWM and install it. However it failed seconds after it started. No harm done, but it wouldn't install.
Anyone have any ideas where I should start looking?
Thanks
We have stock 3.2 and modded 3.2 ROM's available under the developmental section. you don't need other questionable websites
EDIT: misread the original post. Statements have been corrected
Realized why the 3.2 updated wouldn't install. I figured that all .zip files can be installed via recovery. Obviously stock ROMs can't be done that way.
So I unzipped the 3.2 ROM, used odin to install the .tar file, and it worked like a charm. Re-rooted and then re-installed CWM, v.P7300_CWR_5.5.0.4, and it's now working like a charm. I will see if there are any differences between 3.1 and 3.2.
By the way, this ROM installed through Odin did not wipe my applications, data etc.

Because you did not select the Factory Reset in ODIN before flashing. That move isn't suggested for long term reliability, and I'm not the only one that says so (several ROM/kernel developers agree).

This is a rather long post. I want to be as precise as possible regarding my dilemma, so thanks in advance for taking the time to read it.
I own a Samsung Captivate SGH-I897. It was running the stock Éclair 2.1. A couple of weeks ago I successfully flashed Perceptions build 8 by DesignGears on to my phone. I used the very helpful instruction videos by Connexion2005. A week later, I flashed Perception 9 with the same success as the first time. A couple of nights ago I decided to flash Perception 9.5. About 2/3 of the way through something happened, not sure what, but I was unsuccessful flashing it. I tried 3 or 4 more times without any success. Each time I attempted to flash the new rom, I would go through the process of using Odin I897UJI6-OCD-Rev02 to get the stock rom on to my phone. I even used the master clear. Out of frustration I looked at my phone info and discovered that it now has firmware version 2.2, baseband version I897UCJI6, kernel version 2.6.32.9 and build version Froyo.UCJI6. I re-rooted the rom with z4 root and installed rom manager. After this I tried re-installing Perception 9.5 into the root file. I attempted to flash it onto the phone, once by renaming the zip file update and once without renaming it. I tried flashing it through rom manager and by using the 3 button process, all to no avail. Each time I attempted the rooting, the phone would begin normally enough, however, when I try to reinstall packages, a message comes up saying “E: failed to open /mnt/internal…sd/update.zip (no such file or directory) E: signature verification failed. Installation aborted.”
I have read as many posts on this subject as I possibly can find in xda, android central and Samsung captivate forum.com. This is extremely frustrating. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
1. Please try to split into paragraphs to go easy on eyes, esp for readers on mobile.
2. Did u try flashing to 2.1 stock?
3. Once u r on stock, u need not root ur phone. Rename the ROM of ur choice to update.zip, go to recovery, and apply update.zip.
A couple of ROMs I tried recently in this way and was successful:

my suggestion is Flash back to Stock 2.1 rather than flashing to the leaked Froyo JI6.
Odin 1 click JF6 (which is stock eclair). After the flash use the same odin module to run master clear.
Re-root
Install Rom Manager/CWM recovery
and proceed with fresh custom rom flash of your choice via clockwork recovery

do you realize how many devs tell you NOT to do that?
everyone recommends flashing through CWM, which root is not required for either. leave the CWM update.zip on the sdcard and do it that way....

+1 on flashing via CWM
Thanks for the help everyone. I followed your suggestions and was able to successfully get Perception 9.5 up and running.
I've recently rooted/installed CWM on my Sprint SGT, and I'd like to try out spacemoose's HC build. I've never flashed custom ROMs before, so I've been reading around to try and make sure I understand everything and I don't render my SGT useless.
Will I just download the ROM through her thread and choose "Install .zip from sdcard" in CWM recovery?
Assuming that's correct and that all goes well, how would I revert to stock? Would I do it via a similar process with a stock .zip file? If so, where can I get this file?
Also, it appears that there are only a couple CDMA ROMs out there. It seems that GSM users can use a ROM regardless of TMO/ATT affiliation. Is that the case with CDMA?
Thanks for the help!
The HC of spacemoose is still in the early stages of development-even alpha stage. Definitely not for beginners to try out.

I think you are on gingerbread 2.3.3 firmware. NO YOU CANNOT USE recovery to install/flash a new version of the firmware as HC is android 3.0. The install from zip is only used for the same firmware version.

I'm on Froyo 2.2
I installed SpaceMoose's Alpha 2 and then upgraded to Alpha 2.5. If you install a launcher (ADW or VTL) it greatly improves the usability of the Tab.
I will say this, if you need to use it for work or as your only device then I would hold off. I am extremely happy with Alpha 2.5, but there are a few quirks.
Data (3G) does not work yet
Occasionally it will freeze up and require a reboot
Some apps aren't playing nice (personally I haven't been able to get Google Music to sync)
With that said, if you still want to go do it, then here is how I did it on my Verizon Tab (should be similar since they are both CDMA)
Starting from stock, unrooted:
Installed the over the air update EC02 (or you can download it on XDA)
Rooted using SuperOneClickRoot
Installed the VooDoo kernel to get CWM 2.5 (apparently CWM 3.0 has some issues)
Put SpaceMoose's ZIP file on my SD Card
Booted into CWM
Install Zip from SD Card
Choose ZIP
Install
VIOLA!
Not sure on the process to get Sprint Tab back to stock. I used Heimdall and the instructions found on XDA and DroidForums. I did see this thread for Sprint (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009926).
Hope that helps.
Hi. I have a newly purchased SGS which runs android 2.1. When I connect it to my laptop via the usb cable and run Kies, I get a message in bold letters saying "This version of the device cannot be updated", in the firmware information tab.
It shows "Current firmware version: PDA:JG8 / PHONE:JG2 / CSC:JG9 (DBT)"
I want to upgrade to 2.2 and 2.3, or directly to 2.3 (if possible), without rooting my phone.
This phone is purchased from Saudi Arabia and did not have the Market app, Youtube app, Maps app and Navigation app initially. But when I selected restore factory settings from settings menu, I got all of the above apps installed automatically.
I have latest version of Kies installed.
Please, please help me how to upgrade without rooting my device.
If you want, you can download the latest UK Gingerbread XXJVT ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289875
then follow the steps to manually flash a new ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
Thanks for the reply. I found the "how to install guide" in the first link itself. Gotta take some time though to get it installed as I have a pretty slow connection.
Just make sure you back up you data before flashing!
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S
I have downloaded the following files:
i9000XXJVT.zip (android 2.3.5) &
Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.2bm.tar
I have read the how to guide and want to instal the new firmware!
Am I good to go?
waiting for reply !
How about Odin? I see that you chose the BM version of Semaphore, just take note that it'll screw up your 720p video recording.
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S
Hi sorry about replying so late. Busy in exams! Well I downloaded odin 1.83 from a website (don't remember the name). And I downloaded the normal version of semaphore too.
Hey.... Thanx for being patient with me! I was quite upset to see that my phone would not be upgraded but now I believe that the latest firmware for my device is only a few clicks away! Thanx alot.
So am I ready? To flash?
It's our carriers fault for not providing the latest firmware, UK usually gets the latest firmwares first.
Yes you are ready to flash. Just take note that by installing the semaphore kernel, your phone will be immediately rooted, just reminded you because of what you've written in your first post.
Just follow the steps on flashing a firmware then after that, flash Semaphore kernel.
Good luck! I hope you'll love your new firmware. The performance improvement will be very noticeable compared your current Eclaire FW.

Hi... I just flashed my SGS!! Everything looking good!!
Wanted to ask, do I have to "wipe Cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset"? Its given in the how to install guide.
And i have downloaded the JVT phone fix But I dont know how to install it.

Don't bother with the phone fix unless you really have constant phone force closes, because it might make the problem worse. If you had wiped everything before flashing, you don't have to wipe again.
Also, I noticed that you downloaded semaphore's kernel. But you said you didn't want to root your device. Well, semaphore's kernel, as well as all custom kernels here, are rooted. So, if you don't want root, just flash only the files from that JVT.zip which you downloaded.
Yes. I understood that. And I still don't want to root but a member of the forum said I should make an efs-backup since I'm flashing for the first time. Thats why I downloaded the semaphore kernel. Have not yet touched that though.
Is it okay without the efs-backup? I have flashed my phone and its working almost fine. Only thing is Boot up is pretty slow and after start-up, I get a message about some service (related to samsung) has stopped working.
Rest of it, I'm loving it! Its fast!!
Hi guys,
First of all, I apologize in advance if this isn't the correct place and/or thread title for my question. I've rarely posted in this forum as I'm usually able to find what I'm looking for.
I'll try to describe the issue fully so bear with me. If you're not patient, skip the next two paragraphs and go to the problem.
I bought my Galaxy S more than two years ago; back then it had Android 2.1 and I believe I also flashed to 2.1.1 via Samsung Kies.
I later flashed Froyo via Odin, rooted with 1ClickLagFix and installed a ton of apps. I haven't updated anything for more than a year, perhaps year and a half. I recently uninstalled many applications I wasn't using, including the lag fix, unrooted and began preparing to flash something newer. I didn't have the time though, so I dropped the project, and besides, the phone is working much smoother without all the unnecessary crap I had before.
Yesterday I decided to finish the job and flash DarkyROM 11 Black Edition. I rooted the phone again using Z4root, installed CWM ROM Manager and flashed CW recovery. I need the recovery in order to flash CM9 and then the ROM per the installation instructions for DarkyROM.
At this point I might as well wait for v.12, but I'll still need the CW recovery I guess. Or I may flash v.11 as planned; I still haven't decided.
The problem: CW recovery is flashed, but when I reboot I go to 3e recovery instead (tried with the 3 buttons or boot to recovery from ROM Manager, same result). I then copied the CW recovery file directly on the SD card and renamed it update.zip (it was recovery-update.zip) and tried to apply it. Didn't work. As far as I remember it said it couldn't verify file integrity or something. I can check for sure if you'd like.
Here's what I'm running (I'll put what I see, let me know if you need more):
GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000XXJPP
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XFJP7
ROM Manager (installed v. 5.5.1.4 yesterday) says current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2.
I'd appreciate any insight. I don't have much experience flashing my phone, so if you have a solution, it would be best to include not only links to relevant threads but also an explanation as to what steps I should follow in my specific case.
Thanks in advance!

Can't do... Kies cannot upgrade the firmware since I'm on a custom ROM (or because it didn't match my country, I don't quite remember the reason).
I was following the installation instructions for DarkyROM for Froyo; it says I should have it rooted with CWM and use the recovery to flash CM9 and the ROM itself afterwards, so I believe Froyo isn't the issue. The kernel perhaps? Have no idea, I'm a novice more or less. I do know how to follow instructions though, so I'm not a complete idiot
Besides geting a newer ROM with newer Adnroid version I'd also like to clean up the mess I've been creating for the past year and a half. Maybe flashing a stock ROM and then DarkyROM would be easier. I'm looking for the most time-efficient method.
I own an S3 LTE i9305 which is COMPLETELY STOCK with Android version 4.1.2 and I was planning on getting a Custom ROM on it
I have been doing a lot of reading on the different procedures and what all to Install and quite honestly I am getting a bit confused. So I am just gonna jot down the entire procedure of what I have understood. I would really like to have some help from experienced members to let me know if I am going wrong somewhere
1. Rooting: Flashing the CF-AutoRoot file using Odin while the phone is in Download mode<<>> There are 2 files on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ for my phone, one is for 4.1.1 and the other is for 4.4.4. Not sure which one to go for. Also I have downloaded Odin3_v3.09
2. Flashing CWM: after rooting I will want to flash CWM the file for which is http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-i9305.img using Odin while the phone is in Download mode
3. Flashing ROM: I am sort of interested in this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-miui-v6-smooth-faster-ota-t3097018 so I will downloaded the latest ROM file from the given download link and flash it using Odin while the phone is in Download mode
Before performing any of the above I will perform the procedure given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
Also I have checked under Settings>Security>Device admins> There is no KNOX thingy
Also I have question about this GApps, what package should I go for and is it flashed in the same way?
Also how shall I make a backup image of my phone so that I can restore it in its current state if something goes wrong?
Thank you!

Hi,
1. Use the 4.1.1 file. Your bootloader is the older one, the other file is for knox
2. Not sure about that cwm file. It is .img file; AFAIK you need a .tar file. Check this thread for more info and the .tar file HERE
3. When you download the rom file, it is a .zip. You will need to flash this once you reboot into the cwm recovery you installed in step 2, after doing the recommended wipes from the OP of the rom you want. (Recovery mode not download mode)
Gapps - choose a package from HERE You need a 4.4.x package(if you install the rom you mentioned). I like minimal gapps by @jajb, but up to you
You can make a nandroid backup from the cwm recovery, but I would recommend downloading the stock firmware from sammobile.com from your region as a backup
Good idea backing up efs folder btw. I would recommend that to everyone

Right so a couple of minutes ago I have successfully rooted the phone (verified via Root checker) and I have also successfully flashed CWM (verified by entering recovery mode)
So now before I flash my ROM the question I have is. Do I have to transfer the ROM to an SD card then install it Via SDCard? Also how do I flash the GApps? Via SDcard or ODin?
Also technical points aside which ROM do you suggest is lightweight and good for i9305? There really are a lot of ROMs I am having a hard time selecting one

You only need the recovery to flash from now unless you need to install the stock firmware. Just install the .zip files for the rom and gapps to the external sd card if you have one, or to the phone storage(just don't format internal sdcard when you do your wipes)
For the rom you could try Slimkat 4.4.4 It's nice and stable and lightweight(I haven't tried slimsaber in the same thread)
Generally if you want stability, then kitkat or earlier android versions would be what I would recommend. Lollipop builds at the moment still have a few bugs such as gps or mms etc not working properly for some users
And generally the non touchwiz roms are more "lightweight" but the TW roms have some of the features from the stock roms(samsung features).

Thanx for that. Before you made this reply I already flashed the Resurrection Remix ROM along with the Minimal GApp that you mentioned. SO far its running good. Theres slight lags that my eyes are picking up but since I am open to experimenting with my current S3 LTE before I get an Asus Zenfone 2, I dont mind the Beta builds.
After flashing the ROM and Gapps I also ran the Bloatware remover script which worked fine. Installed Google music and Cabinet beta along with Google chrome from Play store. However I miss the search bar that used to be on my homepage for quick googling, any idea how I can get that? I dont see it in the widgets or anywhere else in the phone
