As it was said, wrong section, and there is a thread about darky so.. pff.
Your issue seems to be recovery 3e, flash with odin a cf root or custom (speedmod, voodoo..) kernel. That's all.

People are helpful... provided that you ask in the right place.

Just flash a kernel with 2e android recovery using odin, and you'll be set. then just copy the zip to internal sd and flash it from clockworkmod recovery

Friendly helpful yes but extremely peed off with Darky users who cannot be bothered to ask him read the posts read the faqs ask for help on Darkys help channel .Majority of helps on these pages are from Darky users .One gets a bit fed up pointing out that the developer knows whats in his rom and how to fix it the forum is XDA not solve dargy rom problem forum .Many members will have no knowledge of Darkys rom thats why we say ask Darky .
If you cannot read simple instructions like Q&A in correct section as you have not bothered to look /read/understand then you are going to break your phone .

[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,

so please any advise on what do i need apart from the overcome the one that will delete everything because im upgrading?
Any help is appreciated

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.

Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)

Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091

This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.

thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

i'm a little busy on my college admission procedures (maybe joining IIT or Delhi College of Engg) and also some other personal work holds me up... other than that I also develop AOKP for Xperia
so it might take about 3-4 weeks time before i can make any custom ROMs for Galaxy Y series phones

1. You can use cwm for making backup of kernel and rom.. the y duos cwm works fine for your device too..
2. Not possible.. but you can flash firmware updates uploaded by manoranjan2050 in my kernel thread last page.. so follow procedure given in my signature for Odin flash guide link to do it ...

this two steps done very carefully
1 when you connect yor phone to odin in download mode the yellow light will be blinked in id:com.
