you can try this stock pre-rooted ROM 2.3.4 Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033
follow the instruction carefully, nobody is responsible but yourself if anything happen to your G-Tab while flashing a new rom.
Once you have stock pre-rooted ROM 2.3.4, you can shop around for other ROMs at the Development forum.

You can actually just go the android development. The overcome rom is quite easy to use. All the guide are there for u. Try it out.

As long as you are being careful about it. As far as I remeber Sprint G-Tab is CDMA, therefore you should check if overcome has CDMA kernel or not.
Again be very careful chosing a ROM and Kernel for your tab. Ultimately you are responsible if you brick your device.
EDIT: After looking at the overcome posts again, it looks like overcome ROM and Kernel is for GSM ONLY. DO NOT flash your SPRINT G-tab with it. You will brick your device.

My tab s already rooted..no custom ROM..I have v2.2, build:2.6.32.9, base and:EA24....I keep getting the msg to update...after reading this, will Overcome update me to Gingerbread?

DON'T use Overcome for Sprint tab.
It is not meant for it.

I know if you get rod of root then upgrade to gb via kies its the easiest.. . as long as your carrier allowed it. if its the 1010 then you should be fine.. .
but there is few thread s there that will help will post link when get to PC

Going frm FROYO to GINGERBREAD sometimes problematics. That is why I recommended you to get a rooted stock 2.3.4. Updating from a stock Gingerbread to a custom ROM Gingerbread would be much simpler process than going fromFROYO to custom Gingerbread. I see so many people stuck on samsung screen trying to upgrade from FROYO to GINGERBREAD.

[Q] Canadian Gingerbread ROM ? JV1 or JVK?

I am a Bell i9000m user -- I'm using Froyo right now (JL2 modem) which uses the 850 hz band
I desperately want to go to a Gingerbread ROM.
I understand before flashing roms via CWM I need to change the bootloaders to the new Gingerbread 2.3 models
Can anyone point me to directions as to do this (I think it would have to be done via ODIN I'm assuming?)
Also, do I use JV1 or JVK ? what's the difference ?
Cheers
Use the darkys guide it helps alot... explains everything.... and. If you follow that you wont brick your phone

Darky's 10.3 or what not ?
V10 RC5.3 -- this is the one i'm looking to get . The question is do I have to load the bootloaders first ?
any chance you can point me in the right direction ?
just follow this link exactly...
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-rc5-now-much-easier.2382/
the Ficeto_JVB will take care of your bootloaders
If you cant figure out how to do this with this guide then I recommend you wait until Bell has a 2.3 update through KIES
if you don' want to use Darky's use this and then install a ROM of your choice such as StockRom, Simply Honey or cook one over at Doc's kitchen. Of course, the thread I linked you to was also prepped by a chef who has his own ROM, so lots of options, but very straight forward.

Samsung GT-P1000

Hi everyone
Please i know that somewhere in this web of forums their must be a wise and helpfull way of upgrading the samsung galaxy tap p1000 to either an cynogenmod or to honeycomb/icecreamsandwitch
If look around for a while now and im unable to find any straight forward explanation in doing so
So sorry for asking this question yet again
Does anyone know how to do such upgrade or to explain such process in detail or even direct me to such forum and probably most important if such upgrade is available
I am having issues with my tab,mostly it crashing or sometimes freezes for a while. Bought it about 3months ago with gingerbread preinstalled by samsung
I know that with my htc wildfire by rooting it and installing cynogenmod it helped it not crash and also improved with possibilities and speed
I want to do the same with my gt-p1000 but its still under warranty so want to be sure there is a root and mod upgrade that works so that i wont loose my warranty for incase.
Please if someone could advise
Thanks a lot

AFAIK rooting in any form voids your warranty. Your best bet is to wait until the warranty expires
but IMHO rooting is worth it.
Hope I helped you. If I did,press the thanks button!
Thnx for the reply
I know rooting voids the warranty and totaly agree its well worth it,but my concern is that there are so many treads on how to it for the gt-p1000 but which one of them are solid and will work without defects?
Do you maybe know if there is any tread that explains the process in full?
Thnx again

The best rom that I ever use for my Gtab P1000 is Overcome ROM (latest version is 4.1.0), I'm already try other ROM like MIUI, BOCA, etc but this overcome have 99% stable with no bug. Thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
If you want to unroot just use adb shell or remove su.apk from /system/app folder using root explorer.
Awesome,thnx alot will give it a shot
Is it still on the gingerbread os?
And is there any limitations like things not working (example camera gprs ex?)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Yes,it is on Gingerbread (Overcome 4.1.0 has android 2.3.6 ).Everything is working in this from.don't forget to flash the modem if you use your tab for phone calls,though doing this isn't compulsory
Hit the thanks button if I helped you!!
Which one of the posts in the tread explains the correct way of rooting and installing overcome?
Sorry im a noob at this and reading through the forum is a bit confusing
Just wish someone would post a step by step process and if needed additional flashes required
Thnx again for your support
Looking forward to upgrading my tab

Back in the day I rooted my GT-P1000 with super one click, this was like 1 year and a half ago.
As for the best ROM to use, personally I am using CM9 at the moment which is ICS based. But it is not very newbie friendly atm and has a lot of bugs still being worked on (camera does not work for example).
I would recommend BOCA RC1, it's fast and stable and based on gingerbread CM7. Gives a lot of customizations and is tablet oriented.
But if you want to keep the look and feel of stock ROM, Overcome is the best bet.
Boca RC1
Overcome

Hi.
I'm looking to update my P1000. It already has an older version of Overcome which has always worked for me. I checked out the link. The instructions link is broken. Can anyone point me to upgrade instruction using CWM?

Pretty sure you can do this as it uses cwm to flash. You will have to wipe though so you could just go direct to Sapir. It has the odd bug but is generally pretty good.

Thanks. I was finally able to find all the files for Overcome 4.1.0 including the instructions on another thread. I haven't proceeded yet. Still reading and researching as I do not find them very clear. My fault as I don't have much experience with android. Hoping I can upgrade to 4.1.0 with only CWM but still not sure.

Noob help please - danger of installing custom rom?

Hi All,
I'd like some advice please.
I recently got a Note (n7000) and i'm looking to put a custom rom on it. I have installed custom Roms before on a S2 but I have seen a couple of threads that make it sound a bit more complicated on the Note.
I'm wondering if it there is high chance of bricking my phone if did do something wrong?
I have the following version:
GT-n7000
Android 4.0.3
Baseband n7000XXLPT
Kernal XXLPY
is there anything about the above that I should be wary of?
I been looking at Paranoid Android but from I have read i think need to install a Ginger Bread Rom first? is there anything from the above that should be wary of when doing this?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your rom must be gingerbread before installing paranoid rom or it will hardbrick your phone.

From my experience, from the days of my SGS right up till the GNote and SIII.....read and reread the instructions on flashing ROMs. Understand it fully before even trying to attempt any flashing of ROM/kernels/updates.
Hope that helps......
P.S. The learning curve can be very steep,,,,,and confusing to a newbie

And the other things.....the Galaxy phones are very hardy. Unless you really didn't follow the prescribed instructions on the specific ROMs.......normally it can be resurrected by the Odin or a Nandroid restore.

First of all, check if you have got the EMMC bug.
If you do, then, never ever (try to avoid) do Data Wipe/Factory Restore in the CWM mode.
Thanks for the replies.
I ran the brickbug app and it definitely seems I have the bug
Is it therefore recommended that I flash a "safe" rom asap?
Would it be ok to just carry on using the phone as is until Samsung release a updated rom?
Thanks

Other than GB roms, there are no safe roms.
As long as you dont do a factory reset/wipe, ICS roms are quite ok too. A factory reset/wipe on any ICS, all stock and many customs, can trigger the eMMC brick bug. There are some custom kernels that have a work around which are relatively safe. They do not claim to be 100% safe though. Read around.

Please simple steps for official ics to jb

I posted this question back in early october and no correct answers were given and thread was deleted. so here it goes again. I updated from stock hc to official stock ics through kies i guess? whichever is through the settings - check for updates on the tab. i then asked how to root to jb and people tried telling me one way and then others said no dont do it that way since im running stock official ics. i dont know what odin is, i dont know what flashing is and i dont know what kernels are. i would please like simple simple step by step instructions on how to root to the latest AOKP jb from official ics. i am sorry for the edginess but im just so frustrated i bought this tab and paid 330 for it in sept and I wish I would have waited. this tab is just to slow and id like the extra speed and features from jb as well as an option to oc the processor. $70 more and two months of waiting i could have got the nexus 10 .. oh and i have the wifi only 7310. PLEASE HELP!!

Debating on selling this thing if i cant get jb. what do you think a 32 gb 7310 only two months old aind in mint condition with a nice moto $40 leather case could fetch? lol again sorry for soundimg like an ass im just frustrated
I have a tab i957. It wasn't the easiest to get jb on. Which tab do you have?
The first thing you need is Odin. Google Odin 3 ver 1.85.
Then you'll need to flash a recovery, either twrp or clock work mod, make sure it's specific to the tab you have. you flash it with Odin
Then you'll need to down load a jb Rom on to your device,again make sure it's for your device. Then you flash it through the recovery.
The stickies will have more specific info. There are no simple steps. You have to learn by reading and trying.

and if my phone get locks to network how can i unlock it network again
- Your phone can't be more than 4 years old. Captivate was announced in June 2010.
- Once unlocked it will stay unlocked after JB upgrade.
- Follow this very clear and easy to understand guide for upgrade procedure.
- Start with CM 10.1, this ROM is the base for almost all JB ROMs for Captivate. You can flash after whatever you want.
- You may need to replace your battery.

About upgrade process just read the guide. It contains all answers to your questions.
The last official ROM for Captivate is GB based Samsung TW, all ICS/JB upgrades are custom ROMs.
[Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection) is the very first sticky thread in Captivate Android Development section.
Please, spend some time to read the information provided on XDA before asking basic questions. Many knowledgeable people sacrificed a lot of there free time to explain everything you need to know about Captivate. Before you run into problems, try to understand the upgrade/downgrade process. And be very careful when playing with images containing bootloaders. Unsuccessful attempt to flash bootloaders will hard brick the phone and this will be the end of all your questions. Good luck!

I don't know what "sense 5 launcher" is, but I can make almost any launcher mimic Sense interface using corresponding themes, icon packs, widgets, etc. - all available for free on Google Play. Note that you will not be able to 100% duplicate Sense interface features unless you buy a HTC phone. All HTC additions to Android OS are proprietary software and not available for download/use on non-HTC devices.
Thank you !

what is the difference between
With Bootloaders - and - Without Bootloaders
please explain
since i have unlock network phone and i want it to be remain unlock which one is preferred

Click to collapse
In order to run ICS/JB ROMs you need to have GB bootloaders. In other words, it depends where you start from. If you start from 2.1/2.2, then you need to update the bootloaders. If you start from 2.3.x, then no need to flash bootloaders. This is also explained in the guide. Same thing with stock ROMs. If you never had GB running on your phone and you want to flash KK4, then you need the package with GB bootloaders.
Just a warning
When flashing the bootloaders theres more chance of something to go wrong. I bricked a phone permanently like that.

In order to run ICS/JB ROMs you need to have GB bootloaders. In other words, it depends where you start from. If you start from 2.1/2.2, then you need to update the bootloaders. If you start from 2.3.x, then no need to flash bootloaders. This is also explained in the guide. Same thing with stock ROMs. If you never had GB running on your phone and you want to flash KK4, then you need the package with GB bootloaders.

When flashing the bootloaders theres more chance of something to go wrong. I bricked a phone permanently like that.

Your phone being unlocked does not affect anything it will remain unlocked no matter what

presently am on GB 2.3.5 I897UCKK4 so i dont need bootloader.. and only by rooting and cwm i can flash any of my desired rom base on GB/ICS/JB
^
Since u r on KK4 u should have the GB Bootloaders. (Unless u see a total pixelated screen when u boot ur phone. If u do, then u don't have the Bls. Otherwise ur good to go.)
And here is a [Utility]KK4 Easy Root by Red_81 that u can gain Root access through and also get the KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery so that u can proceed with flashin ur rom of choice.
See post # 4 in the thread linked for a workin download...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26710533&postcount=1
And in my opinion, i would suggest stayin away from flashing ICS Roms, because of the possible encryption unsuccessful bug.

Why you want to flash something that you already have on your phone?
Buddy, seriously, have you read the upgrade to JB guide in post #2?
