[Q] Soft Bricked I987 ATT Tab - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please help, i was trying to flash cwm on stock froyo att tab and encoutered an issue, after 48 minutes stuck in Odin i decided to unplug the tab, after this when i started i get the phone..triangle..pc all the links i have found in the forums are old, cant find the 2.2 firmware any link i find has either got the 2.3 firmware or is died This is my baby and i have been dying to get ICS on it and am dying without my galaxy tab

a little bit confuse with your description. try froyo, but dying hard for ics?? and by the way,i have also experienced the same phone-triangle-pc after having trouble to flash jq1 stock rom. after i got the phone-triangle-pc logo,i try with cf root kernel (jq1) and successful. but you said you don't want gingerbread. so.. :-|

i wasnt at the point of flashing a rom yet, i need the kernel for froyo because att never went to 2.3, so i need the stock firmware but cant find an alive download. I was only at the point of using Odin to ad CWM to be able to flash a new kernel or rom

My opinion, still best to head to Overcome thread in dev section.
Gean their Stock Safe rom to restock, and grab their kernel and flash that too, via Odin.
From there you get CWM and your filesystem gets converted to ext4 and you are ready to go for ICS.

ok so all his links are down to, the only other stock roms i could find was Rotohammer roms but deodexed.com is down to... im loosing hope everyone got to flash new roms I hope someone out the still has the files needed and can re-upload

Flashing a gingerbread ROM?

Hi, I've had my vibrant for quite a while it's been rooted ever since day 1. However I just got got Clockwork Mod working on stock 2.2 KA6. I'm now ready to flash a 2.3or 2.3.4 ROM and I wanted to know how do I go about it. I not sure if I can just flash over the stock 2.2 or not. I also hope I wouldn't have to resort to ODIN, as every one of my last several experiences with it was not good at all. Someone please help me out!
Read the first post of the rom you want to flash. This should answer your questions. You do not need to odin before flashing any gb roms that I am aware of. Just remember you can't go back to froyo without doing odin. (also this belongs in q&a or general). Good luck!

yes u can go from froyo to gb. maybe all of the gb roms that are around explicitly say that u can and how to. it is easy, there are youtube videos on how to do it. About odin, I try to use it every time I change rom, it has never given me any trouble or problem, you just gotta have the right files.
maybe this post should go on another forum though..
only a year old and already so grown up...my my how the time has flown by in the vibrant section. no flaming or "WRONG SECTION" comments...nice work guys
they grow up so fast :'-)

[Q] Rooting or Flashing 2.3.3

Hello,
I would like to try flashing my rogers captivate to ICS. Nothing fancy just a astable bug free ICS. However I am on 2.3.3. I updated through KIES a while back and now I have no idea how to root my phone or install roms. I am afraid the last time I looked into this everything was very different. I have read the forums but am still a little anxious.
Is it possible to root and then install CWM or something to install roms from my current 2.3.3 version? If so how may I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Christopher
By reading all the stickies and reading some more info, you will be a genius at this stuff by the time you're done...
Yeah thats what I am kinda trying to avoid. I have to hack and read so much already it gets really tiring having to keep up with it all. Add to this work and school and its like info overload. I was hoping there might be an easier way than earning another mini phone phD. Thus far I have determined I have to change my kernel... I think? My phone is unrooted. Stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 KIES.
This Site is mentioned for developing. That being said for the rest of us, we are supposed to learn. The reason it's important to read and understand is you can potentially kill your phone.

Question on Flashing my Galaxy Mini

im NEWBIE when it comes to flashing,
im planning to flash my phone atleast to a ICS or better rom but....
they said if you flash your galaxy phone there is a chance to brick it... is it also, ALL custom rom out in the net also here in XDA
can do this to my phone?.. how will i know if it is comes from good source?...
i have lot of question bout flashing my mini, like what is the first step i need to do, 2nd? and so on!
can i bring it back to the stock rom if the custom rom i picked have lots of bugs?
what is porting?
BTW MY PHONE IS ROOTED since last night
please enlighten me!!!
comments are much appreciated
you need a lot of reading, please read every sticky of the mini forum
you can take your phone back to stock by flashing firmware through Odin (PC software)
first you will need to be on gingerbread because every rom here is maid for gb
second read about cwm recovery, recovery is what you will need to flash custom rom
follow every procedure correctly and no brick will be in your path
i think im using gingerbread, ill provide SS..
so i need to DL ODIN in my PC(stock purposes?)
if i follow the step by step procedure 100%? no brick will happen?
is there any link for CWM RECOVERY?
google for flashing firmware to mini and you will get Odin
read about flashing cwm, now also Odin will be used and do jot use rom manager your mobile may brick
for 2-3 days do only reading then do what you want to
damn im fxckng scared to flash my phone even though i read tuts bout flashing
nothing to scare for when we are here just clarify all your doubts before doing anything

First you will have to flash CWM
Follow the steps in the link given below:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html#.UDIx1KniaM9
Then you have to install a custom ROM of your choice(according to your specifications)
I suggest Andro-id 3.2
Follow the link below to flash Andro-id 3.2:

And that's it!

Not able to update to 4.0.4

Hi.
My phone is running ICS 4.0.3 on SpeedMod k3-11 kernel, Baseband version N7000DDLP4.
Recently, the Indian Galaxy Note users recieved a ~100mb update to 4.0.4 but for some reason I am not able to download it. I've recieved the update notification 3 times but everytime I run it, it loads for a few seconds and then it says "No update found".
I have not been able to check update via Kies since my laptop is totally busted.
Could the problem be occuring cause I have a custom kernel installed? If so, I would really appreciate someone giving me the link to flash the stock kernel so i may upgrade to 4.0.4. (I have searched around but couldn't find it)
If its some other problem please do let me know too!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since your laptop is busted, so you may use mobile odin to flash stock kernel, you can find kernel for your ROM in this thread- Kernel for your ROM is DDLPA one .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371007
If you are going to flash it with mobile odin then extract the .zip or .tar till you find zimage file without any extension and flash using mobile odin, thats how I do it. You can flash .tar too
