Hey.
I think you must do a re-stock
You know, Odin sets the non-MTD file system and you can get a brick if the OS is not ready,is not clean.
Sorry,I can't give you links now,but you can just google the needed information
First of all, backup all files you need to your PC, restock formats /sdcard too.
Then go to the website of The Team Overcome and find a restock there. and the latest overcome kernel. You will download an archive with a full 2.3 Android, some modems (choose the one you want) and Odin. Then just flash it via Odin. You will get a clean Tab,like it is really new. And then flash the kernel,you'll get root,cwm, ext4. And then you can flash other builds. I can recommend you the nightly builds by Cyanogen (our device is called p1 in their download center, just download the latest build and flash via recovery). Upgrading from one nightly to another you mustn't do wipes/restocks.
Don't forget to do wipes after flashing restock

You don't seem to be rooted and seem to be on a LA4 rom which is not directly rootable.
Follow this guide step by step to downgrade first and then root your rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Once you have root and CWM installed you can flash different roms.
Yeah you can flash the ICS repack via Mobile Odin Pro
Yeah before flashing a ICS rom you are advised to flash the ICS repack first.
You can flash ICS repack from the CF kernel or any other custom kernel but not with the stock kernel.
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
thank you so much.
as i stated this phone was traded to me
i do believe it is rooted tho...one way im sure of this is just i have SU access to everything also i have the CWM app installed on the phone. in the app it says the kernel is CF-ROOT 5.0
idk which kernel that is or if i have to change it to do anything else?
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
on this just so i know!
once i use the repack i can still flash GB roms without having to do some other type of repack? and are all CF root kernels flashable to any rom?
Well then you are good to go. You can choose the rom you want to go for. Read the instructions there (in the thread of that rom).....they will advise you to flash the ICS repack first so do that and flash their rom after wiping and clearing caches and dalvik.
Have a great roming day (lol i just made that up)
Cheers!! Hit thanks if it helped

Yeh you can use any GB roms. No repack of any other kind is required to revert to GB.
Just some change of kernels.
Thank you thank you and hit button couple times for you!!
Last question!!!
Any threads or anything that has a liat of all available roms and brief description? Ive seen them on other forums. This forum is overwhelming!

Here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
Just make sure you are choosing the correct rom thread. Read carefully some roms will say its ICS themed...so those are still GB roms with ICS theme-ing over them.

th rom ur talking abt is tw based? vl it hv premium suite apps?
What I recommend, based on what I did:
- Download the leaked German official ROM (about 600-700Mb), .tar.md5 file and put into your phone's sd-card.
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from Play Store (need to pay. there's free version too, but I suggest you pay for Pro, safer).
- In M. Odin, open the .tar.md5 file, and press flash. (if you don't mind wiping, best to also check the wipe options).
I didn't wipe, and then it couldn't boot.
So I booted into recovery, and wiped data/factory reset and cache, then it booted fine.
Still had root.
Then I installed CF-Kernel. Go to the Dev thread and scroll down till you see the GT...LPY version and download that zip. Unzip to take out the .tar file, copy to sd-card.
Use Mobile Odin to open it, and then flash. It will flash the kernel, and then you will have ClockworkMod recovery so that you can backup/restore ROMs again.
(Note: You can actually do the above in one single step, but opening the CF kernel file after you open the ICS file, so that everything else points to the ICS file except the kernel points to CF Kernel.)

froyo to CM9 - how?

Hello guys,
I currently try to upgrade a froyo phone to the stable CM9 rom.
Whenever I am flashing the cm9 through CWM 2.5.1.2 (downloaded through rom manager) the phone shuts down while flashing and then it is stuck in a bootloop.
Here is what I am doeing:
useing Darkys v9.2 Resurrection edition. Then I am on:
-> Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #Voodoo_stable_5.4
Build: Darkys v9.2 Extreme Edition
then I am donwloading CWM 2.5.1.2 thrugh rom manager and in CWM I want to flash following zips:
Devil3_0.71_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120609
cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd
gapps-ics-20120429-signed
the Kernel (Devil3) flashes finde.. when I am flashing cm9 then the phone restarts in the middle of the flashing process and hangs in a bootloop.
What am i doeing wrong?
You have to flash a Gingerbread rom with Gingerbread bootloaders first. Then flash CM9. When you flash CM9 from Gingerbread, the phone will restart once. Just flash CM9 again and you're good to go.
Why son't you flash CM10? It's newer and stable enough for daily use.

Thanks I will flash CM7 and after that CM9 then.
I personally use CM10 but this phone is the one from my aunt and I just want a stable rom for her because if something doesn t work (like maybe in the current CM10 alphas) then I have to look after the phone again.
Wait your on froyo you need to Odin darkyrom ressurection v10 or gingerbread one that flash cm no need for cwm darky comes with it

In my case I tried CM 7.2 and CM9.0 and after flashing (in both cases) my phone goes into a loop... finally I reinstalled Gingerbread.
I made both flash using the guidelines in CM Wiki.
I reccomend you to flash JVU with repartition. That will install your bootloaders and Cf-Rooting it, you will be able to flash both CM7 or CM9, via CWM
DarkyromResurrection is jvu based but comes with root already less hassle its how I did it

If you want stability you better flash some GB rom, not ICS. If your aunt doesn't care about speed (not that GB is that slow...) then GB is the best choice, in my opinion. More stability and better battery.
ICS is runs perfectly stable now if you select the right rom

No special preparation is required as such, download stock kernel for your rom from here and then flash either using mobile odin or k-tools.
You can also extract the zimage from the GB firmware file (if you have already downloaded it) and then flash zimage using MO or ktools.

i have the stock kernel on my pc desk top,but should i do any thing in case i want to go back to stock kernel?
hey guys...
Not to confuse the OP here but I would suggest (to the OP), to JUST REFLASH BACK YOUR STOCK Gingerbread ROM in PC ODIN... that's all. you'll get your ROM and your stock kernel back.... it's much easier and much less hassle on the OP part to just reflash back his stock GB (to get back his stock kernel), rather than just extracting the stock kernel process... this makes the OP more confused). And besides.... reflashing back a stock GB would not take about 5 minutes tops right?? (rather than delving and instructing him on the other lengthy process which might confused him even more and might got him to more errors or mistakes in the long run).

It depends, if you choose wipe version then it will wipe everything and if it is a non-wipe rom then everything will remain intact
Best is to backup all apps/data using titanium backup and then flash the rom.
thanks jeetu
but what is the way to know wether the rom is wiper or not?

I read somewhere that all firmwares in dr.ketan's thread are non wipe, I am not sure if it was for ICS only or for both, check with Dr.ketan about it.
Yes all ics rom in my thread is non wipe, but gb rom are wipe and non wipe,
You may find tag along with ROM detail in some cases. But if you want to confirm it before flashing, just extract. tar file 1 level deep, if data.img file is there, then it is wipe rom.

download a "non wipe" rom from dr.ketans thread and intstall.. all ur apps will be intact

From 2.3.6 to custom rom

Hey guys!
I need your help in this one i want to run a custom rom on my device
but had some really bad difficulty's and ended up with a bootlooping phone what whas really hard to fix (more luck than knowledge)
Some how i managed to go back to custom and its running on :
Firmware
2.3.6
Baseband
I9000XXJW4
Kernal
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937
[email protected]#2
Buildnumber
GINGERBREAD.BOJW6
ClockWorkMod v3.0.0.5
AND IT IS ROOTED
so i know i have to upgrade my CWM but this messed up my phone the first try.
So need some advice and direct links to versions i need to download for my type op phone and kernal.
Thank you.
First decide which type of ROM you want to flash. Since there are many custom ROMs supported for your device. So do some searching and decide.
My advice is to stay with a stable ROM with least or no bugs.
After you have done this you can flash the ROM with either odin or directly by applying update from sd card during recovery.
