Flashing query - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I m on stock gb rom and m not rooted.
For installing the aokp ics rom do i have flash the overcome gb stock safe zip for re-partitioning my system?or should i skip that step and start flashing the overcome kernel?I m new to flashing so a bit confused.
Tried flashing the overcome gb stock safe zip via odin today and ended up bricking my tab.Somehow i got the stock rom and flashed it via odin and my tab came back to life
PLZ help.

Refer to this post for the overcome full guide with images:

No way a stock rom work and GB-stock-safe-V5 bad. Usually it is just a bad download.
Find a sha1sum checker to make sure you get a good download.
Follow the guide including what to put in each of Odin's input box.

Additional comments:
You do need to be rooted before installing any custom ROM.

even to install Overcome 4.1?
I never need to root from stock.

I rephrase, you do need to be rooted before you install any custom rom from recovery mode.
You don't need to be rooted if you install any firmware stock or customs via odin or Heimdell.
So if you install the overcome using .zip file (via CWM), yes you will need to be rooted, or you will get write access failure (think of it in windows, some installations you need admin access).
So get the overcome .rar (or .md5) file and install it via odin.

Din know that.

[Q] tutorial i9000 stock -> custom rom

my friend wants to change the rom on his stock i9000
is there a tutorial or app that can root, install CWM, etc so that i can just boot into CWM and flash a new rom?
thanks
EDIT:
from a quick read, do i do this?:
. Rooting your phone and flashing a custom Kernel.
3.1. Download your preferred kernel (the version for Odin, not the one for CWM).
3.2. Open up Odin or Heimdall.
3.3. Put you phone into "Download mode" and connect it to your computer (DO NOT CONNECT THE PHONE BEFORE OPENING ODIN OR THIS WILL NOT WORK).
3.4.1. If you are using Heimdall, unpack your kernel until you end up with a file called zImage. Select that in Heimdall in the box for "Kernel (zImage)" and click Start.
3.4.2. If you are using Odin, select the file you downloaded in the PDA box and click Start.
3.5. After your Phone reboots, go into "Recovery mode" and go to "Advanced Speedmod ULK features" -> "ROOT / Install Superuser".
3.6. After rebooting the phone again, you should have root permissions.

dont worry, i am well learned from stickies, but this is urgent and considering this isnt even my phone, i dont want to have to study for 500 hours before flashing like i did with my own one
can you just suggest one please?
If it's stock, flash ramads jvt with odin. You'll then have a rooted rom with cwm recovery.

Yep.
Or you could flash milky's rom, he's posted an odin flashable version. It's odexed jvr.

so let me get the process right:
1) download ramads jvt and odin
2) use odin to flash the new kernel which will give superuser and CWM
3) boot into CWM
4) flash the rom my friend wants
correct?

Yep. That's correct.
Is he on gingerbread, if so follow the above process - you may need to flash a rooted kernel (chainfires would probably be best) afterwards as pda in odin.
If not on gingerbread, it may be quicker to flash milky's rom, it's got odin and full instructions in the download, and gb bootloaders.

your going to have to explain this to me, im really confused now
It's best to flash to the latest stock rom before installing a custom rom. Ramads jvt is deodexed but does not have root - so if you flash jvt, you will need to flash CFroot kernel after for root and cwm.
Ramads jvt does not have gingerbread bootloaders, so if it is on froyo or eclair, gb bootloaders will be needed.
If all this seems a pain, milky's rom is odin flashable, has bootloaders, root, cwm and also has odin and full instructions in the download.
Hope this is more clear.

[Q] Is that possible to unroot my note by flashing a stock rom using odin?

Is that possible to unroot my note by flashing a stock rom(with no root and no CWM) using odin?
I rooted by galaxy note few weeks ago by flashing a rooted stock rom(with cwm installed) using odin. Afterward, I flashed rocketrom through clockworkmod.
I am wondering if it is possible to unroot and restore back to stock by simply using odin to flash an unrooted original stock rom(please note i am currently running rocketrom).
I know there are several methods provided in this forum like unrooting by Easy Rooting Toolkit( I know this is not possible which may result in broken system) or CF root(I doubt since i did not use cf root to root my phone), so i want to know whether unrooting by odin works. If not, please provide me any viable solutions, thx!
If you flash a stock version smartphones become like your just bought
Make wipe all before to be sure of the result.
EDIT: check CSC after

If your ROM(which u r going to flash) is wipe version, it will wipe off all data, in case you have to backuo it first.
If you dont want to keep root,then nothing more steps required. Just flash any stock rom with odin

So by Flashing Stock Rom; Root+CWM will be wipe out too?
No need to unRoot?
But from your Root Guide, you mention
"Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool."

This is for whom, who wants to remains on existing ROM. You just can understand stock rom requires 550 mb data to download, while unrooting tools just few Mb.
So who wants new stock rom + unrooting,just flashing new stock ROM with odin is enough.

Thx for your help! Do I need to wipe data/factory reset before going back to stock from rocketrom? Recently there were some ppl saying that they bricked their phone when they tried to go back to stock using odin, this really scared me.
I dont believe note can b bricked by changing rom. Yes it can cause bootloop if you tranafere custom to stock some time. Just xlear cache, delvic cache is enough to solve it. But if you can hard reset b4 changin rom, it is always gud.

-Mobie Odin needs Root
-It keeps your root intact
PC odin can't keep your Root intact, so if you are flashing a ROM, which if newer n not directly rootable, you can't get Root after this.
PC odin gives triangle, n raise flash counter if you flash custom ROM/Kernel
Both are safe.

Chinese ICS Leak to Official ICS Query?

Hi all, just need sme advice as I've done a lot of reding tonight but still unsure how to proceed.
I have a UK Galaxy Note, originally unlocked stock Samsung.
It currently has the original chainfire repack of the I9220 chinese leak (http://download.chainfire.eu/146/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-I9220_ZC_OZH_LP1-v5.2-CWM5.zip) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500186
I'd like to flash the official N7000OXALPY ROM on it now.
My question is, can I use mobile odin to apply the german ICS ROM directly?
I believe I may need to flash a GB ROM first? If that is the case could I do this via mobile odin?
Unfortunately I don't have a nandroid of the GB ROM i was on before to restore (I've learnt my lesson!).
Thanks!

AND
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25916135&postcount=1840
Here is what i did. I flashed N7000CPWLB2--United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) using PC Odin, download link from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. I then root and used PC Odin to flash the german ICS. I did full wipe afterwards in recovery. You don't get CMW with this approach but i don't need it.
With regards to the second link, do I have an i9220 bootloader now from the chainfire repack? (not sure how to confirm this).
I'd like to follow the instructions from dr.ketan but bit unsure if it's safe?
If you have flashed LP5 Repack then you have i9220 bootloaders ! If you have flashed the LP1 repack then you are without those bootloaders
Hackerboi, its the LP1 ROM. Does that mean I can use dr.ketans guide directly to flash the official ICS via mobile odin, or should I still flash a GB rom with odin first?
I was on TMT 1.0, what I did was flash a direct rootable ROM using PC Odin, root the ROM, flash stock LPY ROM using the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and that's it.

Flash NOTHING from Repack, be it with Mobile Odin or CWMR.
Use PC Odin to get to GB first. Then you can proceed to ICS.

Thanks for all the help guys, successfully on the official rom now.
I did the following:
1. Flashed CPW rootable old gb rom using PC odin.
2. Rooted using zergrush
3. Flashed new ICS rom and chanfire kernel using mobile odin

Just did that exact same way myself - I always flash back to stock with PC Odin, and then re-root. Takes longer, but less hassles!

(Q) Quick Guide on CM9 installation process

sup xda!?
I was trying to ask for this in the General Thread for CM9 but only found trouble..
After looking through the thread for over an hour, I still couldn't find a comprehensive guide on how to install CM9 on my device..
I know that you need PC-Odin for it, you need gapps and of course the zip of the ROM, but I just can't figure out what to flash, what Kernel to flash and how to..
As I saw many people asking about this, I think it would be greatly appreciated if one of you pros could spare the -minutes- it takes to give us noobs some info..
I am currently on the latest Stunner build and on the LP6-Kernel..
thanks for any help! peace
EDIT:
ok, copperdawgnc sent me to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and told me:
"This will show you how to use PC ODIN & has GB roms to download"
so it seems that we need to use PC-Odin, as expected, and install a GB Rom first..
I know how to use Odin a bit but I still don't know what to install..
what Kernel, which ROM, any ROM? and do I really have to flash an unrooted stock and re-root..? why is that necessary?

so, it should go like this:
1 get ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000XXLC1 (Europe) or ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000DXLC2 (Malaysia)
2 install via PC-Odin
2.1 get PIT file and choose the 3 (?) files mentioned in the screenshot
3 after it's done: download Mobile ODIN
2. download CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip
3. load CF-Root kernel using Mobile Odin
4. get back into recovery
5. wipe data
6. install cm9 and gapps
7. wipe
8. done?
seriously?
wouldn't it work if we only install the CF-Root-Kernel LC1 (?) and flash CM9 from there through Odin?
LC1 or some other Kernel?
thx
Thanks for posting this question, MrKancho. I can't help, but have the exact same situation myself, with imilka's CM9 rom. Just want to confirm that the installation method you outlined works without any problems before trying it myself.

You want to flash CM9 through Odin?

You flash CM9 and Gapps using CWMR.

that 1st link is the safest and best.
download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....
Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.
If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.
theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM
Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software
Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.
every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug
theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....

So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?
If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?

yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.
yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....
If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....
1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.
first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...
what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.
2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..
if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.
but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom
