Greetings from a droid noob,
I have been trying to update my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000M using KIES, but KIES keeps telling me that I cannot update using KIES. I am very frustrated by this. It might be because the Tab I have used to be a display model used in stores. There is a continual demo screensaver that I can't disable either. It might be that there is something custom about it from Samsung/Bell for this functionality. I have never rooted the tab.
I then downloaded P1000MUGKF6_P1000MBMCKF6_BMC.ZIP from Bell to try to update to Gingerbread using Odin. This is where I get confused.
I have made many searches and there appear to be just a many versions of Odin as there are guides for the various phones out there. The instructions do not seem to follow the same pattern. Some say uncheck partition, some say leave it checked. Some use a PIT file, some don't. I really don't want to brick it.
I would really appreciate any help I can get on this. Step by step instructions would be especially helpful.
Model number: GT-P1000M
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000MUGJJ6
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3
Build number: FROYO.UGJJ6

Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
Thanks, priyana. I have actually seen that guide before. However, I am not trying to root. I am just trying to either go back to the "stock" FROYO and get rid of the KIES trouble or update to Gingerbread using ODIN.
"Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1"
Not trying to root.
Read the guide images, it is exactly doing what you want. : flashing GB using ODIN.
BTW, no harm using the guide to apply your version of fimmware too.
Just use it as a guide for ODIN, what to put in what fields, what to tick, etc..
Also, it is good to hop on to GB stock safe first because that will get rid of bad bootloader, since some Froyo has locked bootloader.
Here is a step directly from the Guide section titled Preppin’ The System…
[REQUIRED FOR FROYO-BASED TABS ONLY:] Your Tab must be rooted.
Or am I understanding something wrong in those steps
Followed the pictures but I think I now have a brick.
My tab did not reboot itself as in the instructions. Instead it stayed in download mode. I rebooted manually...got the new start up sound and then got to the Samsung screen. It has been stuck on that for 10 minutes now.
Not sure if this is a good thing but I just saw the Samsung logo flicker.
Hmm.. did you get all steps passed in ODIN?
No harm redoing it again, but make sure you follow every steps (i.e. parts that let it reboot itself, etc)
Edit: I missed that bit that you said it did not boot itself.
I think it is essential, could it be that you didn't wait long enough?
The good thing is I think you can reach download mode, meaning you have not screwed up the bootloader, likely the bootloader were flashed correctly.
Power down the tab, and re-enter download mode and re-flash but make sure it completes itself.
Here, a very easy to follow going back to Gingerbread stock, follow carefully:
You can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/
1a. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 from the above site. Using the Fus Check downloader, download a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
(For your case choose GT-P1000M)
1b. Download Odin3-v1.85
2. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and you will get
tar.md 5 file.
3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA
3a. If your last firmware was gingerbread, leave everything else as is (No .pit file, leave repartition unchecked).
3b. If your last firmware was NOT gingerbread (get pitfile, and check the repartition) Note -- open up the.md5 package to check if there is a pitfile included,
as well as dbdata included. If they are included, you don't need to find pit file again, you can use it for your flash.
4. Go to download mode on the G-tab, connect it to your computer,
and click start on Odin. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.
Good to know this! thanks.
I guess @ThiesWindu can try this way too, provided ODIN can see the tab.
Thanks, yappoe.
I am on step 3b. There was a tar file but no MD5. The tar file included a pit file but no dbdata.
I am going to try this. Fingers crossed.
Looks like I need that dbdata file as there was an error to that effect on the tab. However I did get further than last time. The tab is still stuck at the Samsung screen.
Where can I find that dbdata file?
Thanks
The issue was the dbdata.rfs file missing.
I found it here under misc notes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9305891&postcount=1
It finally rebooted but what I got was the following message:
Sorry!
The application com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una (process com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Is this something major or is it normal?
Thanks for the help so far.
that is why I recommend Overcome GB Stock safe in the first place.
Too many people asking where is dbdata.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, pit files etc when using other method.
Could your problem stem from using dbdata.rfs from different ROM?

Yes, of course, but he specifically wanted a non-rooted stock, and most likely from his region (and probably is ready to sell the tab for the newer tablet )
@ThiesWindu: one more step, and you should be done! (Hopefully -- Unless Priyana's fear is true... then the dbdata might not be for your Tab
go to Recovery Mode, and do a Factory Wipe and a Data Cache wipe.
The tab is working. The dbdata file seems to have done the trick. The tab works fine just takes longer to boot than before. Had to re-install a ton of apps though. I guess there are different versions for the different droid versions.
Is the slow down on boot up of concern? This is the first time I have done this.
Why would the stock not include it?
First boot after flash always takes longer time. What happen is android is installing and configuring your device for the first time.
Dbdata, pit and bootloader are not always included in a packaged stock because some Releases are meant for 'upgrade'. Since these files rarely changed from version to version, it wouldn't be included.
That is also why Priyana directed you to Team Overcome's GB-Stock-safe, because they include everything in the package. But because they have complete package, sometimes it's overwhelming for some people to follow the instruction.
Perhaps now that you completed flashing your g-tab, if you go back to team overcome website, you will have less difficulties following their instruction.
It seems to take longer all the time. Once booted it seems smoother and faster than before.
I have a 2nd Galaxy Tab that I can compare the times to and then report back when I get home tonight.
Thanks again
Compared it to the other tab and the boot time actually improved a little. Guess nothing to worry about then.
Thanks for the help guys.
updating your Canadian P1000M tab to android 4.4.4. or whatever other ROM you wish
I didn't want android 5 or up but the most stable Custom rom on my tab which only had the 2.3.3 update on it.
The problem with all the custom ROMs was they wouldn't work on the P1000M sim card model as only made for a P1000 .
There were a few threads about converting my current model to a P1000 but somewhat confusing about exactly what to do and where to get the downloads needed .After two days of playing around I found the guide and links in this thread as the most helpful they worked :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981
Once you install the GB Stock safe 5 tar file as per PDF instructions(which you need to read a few times ) use the JPZ Modem folder as per instructions on PDF –this is an Italian modem bin file but it will convert the P1000M to a P1000 which then allows you to complete the rest of the installs with the overcome wipe files and at the end of all the installs ,put your chosen recovery rom on tablet internal memory and flash using whatever custom Rom for a P1000 you wish (as there isn’t any links or availability for a P1000M except for gingerbread).Its a long process to get to using the custom rom but it works and seems to be the only way to go. I used omni nightly4.4.4 plus the gapps files and and updated SU zipfile.
Unfortunately once the omni ROMwas installed I kept getting the android process media has stopped message constantly so used the following to fix that issue :
Go to your app settings page (Settings > Applications > Manage Applications) and open Media Storage. Hit clear data.
If you have a custom recovery installed (most custom ROMs and kernels do have it), boot into it and fix permissions. In Clockworkmod Recovery, you can find it under “Advanced”. TWRP recover also has a similar option. Being a Linux-based OS, permissions are of paramount importance to smooth functioning of Android components.
In Manage Applications, open Google Services Framework. Clear data.
Open Google Play Store. Hit clear data. Note that this will clear all play store data, including your Google sign in. You will have to login with your Google / GMail account again the next time you open Play Store.
Open Download Manager, and clear its data too.
Backup your data and format SD card. Make sure to backup all data on your SD card, including media, apps and other files, before formatting it. Use FAT32 formatting, which is preferred for Android. This is because android.process.media is related to camera, gallery and other multimedia components, and SD card errors may cause this force close error.
Try a different SD card. Many SD cards, particularly those of class 6, 8 and 10, have been reported to not work reliably with Android devices. Class 4 seems to be the safest option .
Now running 4.4.4 on my tab P1000. thank goodness.

Alright so after 2 days of researching and getting ready to root my Samsung Vibrant, I've realized since I'm in Canada it's considered a GT-I9000M.
Carrier: Virgin Mobile Canada (Essentially Bell)
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: I9000UGL2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3
Build: FROYO.UGJL2
Phone is compatible of going into recovery (3E) and Download mode.
Been reading a lot of issues with one click so I found a noob guide by user s15274n http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 that seemed pretty easy. Was going to use odin to bring back firmware to 2.1 stock JFD (t-mobile) and then root with update.
Now since I don't even know if I'm considered a vibrant or not and what would happen if I use T-mobiles stock on my Bell phone I'm back to being mind ****ed on this rooting stuff.
Anyway I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks
I am in the same boat
Dude, you just explained my situation. I have a Sasktel Vibrant and have been looking into rooting this darn thing for a while. Unfortunately, it at least appears more complicated for us with our different(?) phones. Our phones are almost the same one, unless you made a spelling error in your baseband version. Mine has a j in it. Here is my info:
Carrier: Sasktel
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: I9000UGJL2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3
Build: FROYO.UGJL2
I did find this article here that appears promising:
androidforums dot com/galaxy-s-all-things-root/264530-flashing-darky-v9-gt-i9000m-minimal-risk.html
but I haven't convinced myself that it will work, and I sure as **** would hate to brick my phone over something silly. Lemmie know if you find something.
The easiest way to root is to use odin to flash a kernel that roots your phone. Check the development section. I'd recommend using speedmod's kernel-good kernel, and easy to follow instructions.. I'm running a i9000m as well, on SaskTel.
have done a lot of reading over the last week trying to work out how to root my SGS i9000M, checking both these forums as well as android & phandroid, as well as googling the issue and trying the Market. I've also checked out many youtube videos on this topic but they seem out of date now. I note the most recent thread on here by liv4air (march 2011) but it doesn't really help with my query.
I am a total noob with regard to this - only heard about rooting a couple of weeks ago but I definitely like the idea. My 1st handset had to be replaced due to a sound issue (it had 2.2 Froyo) - was replaced with a handset sourced for Canadian market (linked to Bell - has lots of stock apps from them that are useless to me). I'd like to get rid of them to start with, but this handset is running Eclair 2.1 - didn't realise this for awhile after it was replaced and didn't actually understand the differences between the builds and firmware.
So now i've got GT-i9000M, Eclair.UGJH2
kernel [email protected] #2, firmware version 2.1-update1 (updated via Kies).
I have tried the one click root download which put the 'update.zip' file on my SD but when I tried to install this in the recovery mode (have discovered that I have the download and recovery mode buttons - also totally new to me!) there was a red error message:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Have seen the Ryan ZA OCLF in Market too, but understand that the 'rooting' ability has been removed from that app.
Have downloaded the Odin3 program to maybe try to root it via this method but am confused about how to get kernels/which ones to get...or even if that's what I have to do! can find various kernels etc at SamFirmware but not really sure how to use them.
Am I even close to working out how to root this phone!?
Please help!
did you try to flash a kernel and root your phone from recovery ?

Click to expand...

no I haven't - the only thing i've tried is the one click root method which brings up a box offering "root or unroot" and this is what put the 'update.zip file on my sd. In recovery mode I scrolled down to the update sd option (below reboot and above the reset to factory etc options - ie. 2nd of 4 options) and that is what led to the error message. Have seen this on other threads so assume it's an old technique that won't work on my handset?
I have Odin v3 and get open the program ok - at least so it looks like the screenshots i've seen posted in forums - but I haven't downloaded any kernels yet. This is the next step i assume. Have found some on Samfirmware.com (including one for my very own build) but no idea which of those i need eg if i download the one for my phone will that just be the same as what i've got now? How would i know if one contained a root? And once i download it do i have to save it to any special location in order to use it / when i open Odin will it automatically pop in as a kernel to flash?
if you are just looking to root.... on any 2.2 just download superoneclick program, make sure you are in debug mode, plug your phone in, hit start, 20 seconds later you are rooted... lots of videos on youtube fyi

For now am just looking to root safely. 2nd step would be to play around a bit and look at other kernels/ROMs etc that would suit me, and upgrade firmware to either Froyo or Gingerbread...but all that other stuff is gonna require a lot more reading on my part before 'playing' as i've come across loads of threads describing various errors/problems people are having after flashing this or that.
i've been told to use lots of different methods eg. the superoneclick that you mention, Darky's 9.5, EZBase/EZOdin, using Heimdall etc etc and just as i think i'm onto something good, anothe method is advised. You mention on 2.2 but i'm on 2.1 Eclair - will the superoneclick method still work do you know?
I do not know if it will work with 2.1... i highly suggested upgrading to 2.2 your local mobile phone provider should do it for you if you take it in, it takes them like 30 mins maybe (just take it in with a full battery) other option is to download Kies which is free online provided by samsung, it should upgrade you to 2.2
I think if you can find z4root.apk in the forums or on google it used to be able to root 2.1
there maybe another version of OCLF with root option around in the forums or google.
I still suggested you upgrade to 2.2

managed to upgrade form 2.1 to 2.2 via kies at last - didn't work a few weeks ago but worked the other day. so....back to trying to root! downloaded the superoneclick v1.9.1 - my antivirus did freak at it but i see that that's expected.
problem - when i open the rar file or try to extract the contents or run the application inside an error screen comes up saying there was 'unexpected end of archive' and that 'the achive is damaged or corrupt'.
could this be because my antivirus program did something to it? should i try to download the file again with my antivirus turned off?

i'll have a look at that section and at speedmod. just a quick Q though about flashing via Odin - is a kernel composed of the pit file and the 3 other files for pda/csc and modem ie would i expect to get ALL those components and put them in the relevant boxes in Odin? (I have Odin and can open it fine - have not connected my phone yet to check that the yellow box confirms connection).
Still struggling to find the easiest/safest way to root!
a kernel is only a zImage file. It is TARed to that you can flash it as PDA in odin. No PIT.
Go to the ezbase thread, read the comprhnsive instructions and go for it!

I am in the same boat. I dl'ed oclf from the market and it doesn't root any more.
I tried the update.zip method and when I did "adb reboot recovery" my vol buttons allowed me to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" but when I press the power key it doesn't execute the process.

Tried EZBase too last week. No joy there either. Got the EZOdin, the PDA/CSC/MODEM files but could not get the .pit file - the link just goes to either a blank webpage on 2 different computers, on my macbook it goes to some webpage which only displays about 3 lines of gibberish - some complicated looking code.
I assume I need all the components? I've noticed the speedmod kernel only requires the PDA .tar file (this looked the most promising method recently but not sure if that kernel will actually root, or if i need to be rooted first in order to flash it via Odin).
Oh, the other problem with EZBase I found was that the PDA/CSC/MODEM files downloaded as .tar.md5 files
...shouldn't they just be.tar? Did I do something wrong/can I just rename them .tar? Hence my reasons for abandoning the EZBase method as haven't had any joy answering those questions!
You wouldn't think a phone should be all that hard to root?
It's not hard to root. I have the i9000M on stock UGJL2 (Froyo) Downloaded SuperOneClick v 1.8 by CLShortFuse from this forum as there are no rooting apps any more on Market. Put my phone in USB debug mode started the program then followed directions. Try here for detailed instructions and a video if you want a preview. The directions are very good though and I chose it because I didn't want to use the 3E method.

all sounds easy as pie...you convinced me to try again with the superoneclick method. However.....
1. v1.8 is not available via the thread link - only v1.9.1 and drivers for 1.9.1 or v1.7
2. the little youtube vid showing instructions (which also makes it look supereasy) advises to download the latest version, so i downloaded 1.9 - this time i disabled my antivirus in the hope that it would not interfere with the file which is what i assumed happened last time.
3. yet again when i go to extract the files form the .zip file there's an error saying the file is damaged or corrupt so I can't get the application to be extracted.
back to square one. haven't tried v1.7 yet. maybe i'll give that a go, but i assume it will have bugs that are why it's been updated to versions 1.8 and 1.9??
extracting the 1.9 drivers also does not work - "unexpected end of archive"; funnily enough the application does actually appear extracted but when i try to run it as administrator windows says there was an error and forces the application closed.
so no joy at my end with this method!
i'll try v1.7 (just to see if it extracts successfully really).
nope - get this warning when i try to download v1.7
didn't get this even with the 1.9 download when it contained a virus so have elected not to try to get v1.7.
and so endeth the superoneclick method as far as i can tell......
FINALLY!
Success via SuperOneClick after all! Was going nowhere with the links on the xda thread so went to shortfuse.org and downloaded the v1.9 via that site (see attached pic for the link to click on).
It downloads a folder with all the required files/drivers etc. The application is within the folder and it opened fine when run as administrator. Followed the guide which is to essentially just tick USB debugging, not to mount the SD card and clicked "root".
It sailed through the process fine and then asked if i wanted it to install busybox as it was not detected. I did, and it did.
Superuser icon in my application as it ought to be. Didn't have to reboot or anything. Only literally just done it so not sure if there are any bugs/ill effects as yet from having rooted it but will report if i come across any.
go for it bob!
Hi All,
I am an idiot. I tried to install Gingerbread on my TAB, took a back-up, but in trying to reinstall it I lost my way and over wrote the back-up.
I have a working Tab, I can make calls and browse the web, but I've lost Gapps - which means no contacts, no account on the phone, and no access to the Marketplace.
I need to reinstall Gapps. But I don't know how. I've installed Heimdall but not used it, and I believe Odin might be an option. I might have to use ADB even...? I need a step-by-step tutorial.
I've been looking for two days and can't find precisely what I need. Can any one help with idiotproof instructions on how to reinstall Gapps using any method not involving the Marketplace? Is there such a method?
Checked my phone:
PDA: P1000XWJJ7
Phone: P1000XXJK5
CSC: P1000CPWJJ5
Any help appreciated. Thank you.
I can't give a step by step because there are so many already out. You will need to reinstall the full version of what ever rom you have now or restock it to a known stock version that is for your tablet version. Oldin it seems is the way most people do this process.
Re stocking means using odin3 1.7 to repartition with a .pit file, then flash an unrooted rom, reroot, install su and busybox. If you have a custom rom this is the time to flash it.
Okay, so I fixed it! As per instructions, I downloaded Odin, went to samfirmware.com and initially d/led P1000XXJK5, as I thought that fitted my Baseband version (look in "About Phone" in settings). But there was only one .tar file in there, for the PDA slot of Odin.
I also d/led the P1_EUR.pit file (google it, it's on download sites). I put the phone into download status and hooked it up to the laptop AFTER starting up Odin, as per the instructions. I installed the PIT file, as per instructions. I put the Tab in download again and d/led the PDA .tar file.
Odin installed the software okay, but it didn't reboot. Damn.
So I looked on xda and saw that JJ4 is a 'full flash'. Hmm, I thought. So, I d/led that, saw that there were three .tar files and was very excited.
Did a repartition and installation of JJ4 on Odin (combined the steps) and 5 minutes later I had a rebooted Tab - albeit in cyrillic (Greek or Russian - not sure which; sorry).
I have had three days of terror as I thought I'd never get to use the damned thing again. I probably shan't install superuser one click again, and I'll probably stick to Market to get my updates. But am really chuffed to be back on the Tab again...!
Okay, last niggle, I have a ROM on my Tab which cannot be updated thru Kies. If I truly want to get back to a stock ROM as recognised by Kies, is there a way?
I had the same problem. It seems that once install rom from Samfirmware.com or other custom rom; Kies cannot recognise the firmware and will never be able to update any firmware from Kies. I tried to regain Kies trust to check my firmware but fails. Still waiting for a solution. As for now, I'm sticking to not using Kies for rom update but merely installed for its USB driver.
Kies Update
So, it seems I am in luck!
My GTab is currently updating, from
JJ4 - JMI
JID - JMA
JJ2 - JM4
I guess this will restore me to a complete factory version of Galaxy Tab firmware...?
GT-P1000 Ver. 11.04.13.03
Seems the update version is GT-P1000 Ver. 11.04.13.03?
Hey guys....I'm not new to xda but I am new to this section. I've owned a tab for about a year now and finally interested in rooting. I have a tmobile samsung galaxy tab.....so what do I need to do....i see its very ready to brick...so what do I need to do

It is not easy to brick, unless you screw up the boot loader.
Suggestion: why not go the popular way, just flash custom ROM that has root.
Go to overcome site

Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Then flash overcome kernel.
Then flash overcome ROM
But please make sure you get good download. Many people have to download a few times to get it right.
Use a tool for checking sha1sum to compare.

Thanks I notice rooting samsung devices are different from htc devices...i own a htc amaze....thanks for the help
Sent from my SGH-T849 using Tapatalk
yeah. I think somehow in the galaxy tab, you can't just flash a recovery like in HTC devices.
You have to at least flash a kernel+recovery.
I didn't recommend the most basic CF-root method because I am not sure if CF-root method predates your ROM.
So the safest is to go the most popular method of using Overcome stock safe + overcome kernel + overcome ROM method.
It is a good, well detailed process with almost zero failure.
And a good stepping board to try other ROM after you get it running.
From there you can go to CM9 or AOKP ICS easily.
You will notice all of them recommend to re-stock using Overcome method as well.
That's where I'm headed for the tab...ics cm9. I have to make sure I know what I'm doing first with my tab

Just make sure to copy everything that you have on your tab in the internal SD card, as by following the overcome guide, you will lose everything that lies in the internal SD card. There are two things you should do in order.
1. Go to contacts, go to menu, import/export and select export. It will create a .vcf file as a backup for your contacts in your SD card. Attach Tab to PC and copy the VCF file to the PC.
2. Copy the whole internal SD card contents to a safe place on your HD, just in case you have something important in there, like pictures, or videos, or some other documents etc.

It is not easy to brick, unless you screw up the boot loader.
Suggestion: why not go the popular way, just flash custom ROM that has root.
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.

Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Then flash overcome kernel.
Then flash overcome ROM
But please make sure you get good download. Many people have to download a few times to get it right.
Use a tool for checking sha1sum to compare.

Need help with rooting without USB and without CWM
Hello,
I have a half-bricked chinese 7in tablet similar to GT-P1000 (the "About" screen shows the model is MID7, but the boot logo/animation is Samsung).
The tablet does not have USB access to PC (I think it's a hardware problem, not a matter of drivers), no CWM recovery (just the stock recovery) and it is runing on Android 2.3.5. No access to Market anymore because the locale is China. I cannot modify the "...etc/hosts" file or any other system file because I am not permitted (no root).
I tried to root it with z4root and gingerbreak (from the tablet) but no luck. However, I got the superuser and busybox installed. But when I type su in the terminal emulator it says i do not have permission (or something similar). Thus, no root. I could not try zergrush or any other rooting methods because I cannot connect to a PC via USB.
The only positive thing I can do is transfer files on it via WiFi using Airdroid. I also have a terminal emulator installed on it and ESfile manager.
Is there any way to root it via WiFi, or at least to install CWM recovery via WiFi or from the tablet (and then root the tablet), without using USB?
The stock recovery does not look for zip files, but for something upgrading package, which I do not know what format needs to be. I tried zip files and it didn't find them. It seems it looks for a folder, not a file, because it does not "see" files when I select that upgrade option from the recovery.
Right now i am willing to take the chance of trying any approach/software/rom that would give me a chance to un-brick the tablet step-by-step. Then, the first priority would be to re-gain access to the Market (Google Play).
Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.
Mid7 isn't similar in any way to this tab.
So this is hardly the forum for your device.

As you see it's the old good froyo, but I think it's time for changing
And that's my question, To WHAT ?
First, you have P1000, that means you have phone functionality. Not only wifi/3G.
Second, there are many posts asking theis questions over and over again...
and usually Priyana answers them with the exact answers. So I'm going to borrow his/her answer:
Go to team overcome and follow their installation instruction "From froyo"
http://www.teamovercome.net/
There you will have a choice "GB-Stock-safe" (Gingerbread stock pre-rooted)) and Overcome Rom (Based on GB2.3.6 pre-rooted).
if you want to try the new ics later on, I suggest install gb-stock-safe and continue install the overcome KERNEL only. Don't install Overcome ROM.
The instruction maybe overwhelming and you may get bootloops if you do a wrongthing. So follow it carefully.
G
Thank You
I know that post of teamovercome forum and still have headache from reading it
It's very complicated so I think it's good idea to stay with the Froyo.
I guess sticking to Froyo will work.... but I think there are more apps available if you are on ICS...

By the way, does the Kies can update the firmware to some thing else than Froyo ?

Hey man, you need to decide if you want to do more with your g-tab or not.
BUT words of warning: DON'T jump into the swimming pool if you're afraid getting drowned.
I was exactly like you just last year and of course as everyone else here, I started by simply learn how to root my Tab. With froyo, it is as easy as ONE MOUSE CLICK after you downloaded the correct .exe program on your computer.
Most countries already get GB upgrades via Kies ranging from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. Some unlucky countries stuck in froyo and that's when they come to xda forum to learn new things.
THANKS
My Tab is already rooted.
What you means by " ranging from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6", the kernal version or the firmware version ?
I upgraded once time only using the Kies but it's still Froyo as you see in my post.
You are right abut the swimming therefore I need to prepare myself good enough to start that process.
the best roms!
try these two masterpieces of dizgustipated:
boca msi
or
blindmooke
just go to the respective rom's thread in this section for instructions.
but first, as the posters before me said, you have to follow the instructions in www.overcome.net. when you get to the part of flashing the rom, use the above-mentioned roms instead of overcome.
happy flashing!
Here, a very easy to follow going to Gingerbread stock, follow carefully:
You can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/
1a. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 from the above site. Using the Fus Check downloader, download a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
(For your case choose GT-P1000)
Extract .zip file to get .md5 or .tar
1b. Download Odin3-v1.85
1c. Download this pitfile from following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=631856&d=1308653969
1d. Download this dbdata from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=935230&d=1331091172
2. Start Odin - put the .md5/.tar to PDA
Put the pitfile from step 1b to the PIT
Check re-partition. Leave everything else as is.
3. Go to download mode on the G-tab, connect to ur computer
and click start on Odin. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.Once done flashing it will reboot but mostlikely you still have problems with your tab.
4. Reboot to download mode again. Reset Odin (make sure re-partition unchecked), put dbdata from step 1c to PDA, leave everything else as is. Reconnect your G-Tab to computer, click start on Odin.
5. When Dbdata is successfully put into your G-tab, reboot to recovery mode, do a factory reset wipe, and data cache wipe.
Reboot system, wait for about 5 minutes for the tab to boot up, you should be all set.
Note: as always, you are responsible for your own device. I'm not responsible if anybody break his/her device following the above instruction.
yappoe, Thank You very much
1- Please check the links for the pitfile and the dbdata file -Error 404 Page Not Found
2- Can I choose another country than the one where the Tab was purchased ?
3- In the zip file there is another file called SS_Dl.dll. What about it ?
Gb has better video player and music player 5.1 . Can play sky go too. Theres lots of ways to get it looking like ics. Whilst still on gb.

Hi
I have a non branded GT-P1000 Tab. Trying to follow instructions at http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-gt-p1000-android-4-0-4-ics-aokp-rom-97483/ to install AKOP.40 ROM
Need Clockworkmod installed.
Installed Rom Manager then attempted to install Clockworkmod - It asks me to choose my phone type. Closest options are: Galaxy Tab - ATT, Samsung Galaxy Tab - T-Mobile, Samsung galaxy tab - VZW.
What do I install, or is there another version of Clockworkmod for non Branded TAB somewhere?
Thanks ColinK
From Manager is not compatible with P1000
You may brick your device if you force install cwm recovery of different device.
The only method is to flash via Odin, a kernel that contains cwm recovery.
overcome kernel is one of them.
In fact it was recommended in all ICS rom install guide you find here.
Start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27500461
See my reply there.
Forget about reference to AOKP build 38, that was back then.
Download the latest.
Instruction remains the same.

Hi
Thanks for your prompt reply. The instructions for flashing overcome seems to have multiple steps and "IF's", with multiple opportunities to go wrong.
The android authority guide seems straightforward, and I have gone through some of it - except the guide makes no mention of how to get CWM.
Is there a simple way to get the right version of CWM installed, or something else that will do the same steps / functions.
If not, were exactly does the install part start and do I also have to install Odin?
Sorry for so many questions / uncertainty.
ColinK
As I said before.
No, there is only ONE way to get CWM recovery for P1000.
That is to flash a kernel that has CWM Recovery.
Either cf-root kernel or Overcome Kernel or Redpill kernel.
It is dead simple.
Download the tar file
Connect to Odin.
Flash.
Now, lets start by telling us what you have. P1000 running Froyo?
Rooted?
BTW, if you follow the complete Overcome guide, 99.999% you won't go wrong, if you follow every steps.
So read it 10 times if not sure.
The GB-Stock-Safe package mentioned in Overcome and available on their site, it contains the correct version of Odin (1.7) and the USB driver for Samsung.
32 bit and 64 bit driver for Windows.
Absolutely nothing else extra is needed. All there.

Actually you can flash a CWM.zip update without installing a kernel after you root your device.
But again, installing kernel with CWM included just like Priyana said would be a lot easier and simpler.

Hi Thanks for your continued help.
GT-P1000, 2.2, Baseband P1000xxjma, Kernel 2.6.32.0 [email protected]#1
The tab is completely standard, never touched until a few days ago. Followed the instrictions at Android Authority to Root using z4Root
How do I know if it is rooted? (Ie was z4 root successful).
Did Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and Wipe Cache Partition - then realised I did not have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
That is where I am now.
I hope you do not mind me asking clarifications for your instruictions. Your guide said 'jump to .. flash overconme" - where does that part start.
The quide mentions downloading a gb stock safev5.zip , an Oversome Kernel.tar and 7 series wipe.zip
Note the gb stock.zip mentions Gingerbread Based - I have Fryo (what are the implications)
But your last reply just mentions downloading the tar file and using odin
Can you see that for someone who is not familiar with all this Android jargon this is all very confusing.
I am quite competent in following instructions, but most instructions assume certain conditions (without telling me if my Tab meets those conditions), and assumes I know what eg "odin sees it" means, where is odi, where do I install it, how do I use it.
What I really want is a straightforward guide that will tell me how to install AOKP ROM Build 40 onto MY Tab, without 'go here' and 'go there' and only do this IF ...
Thanks for your help.
ColinK
Hi ColinK,
Unfortunately there is no straight way to install AOKP.
I am afraid you have to follow the guide to the letter, sort of.
This is why.
Some froyo from for our tab has locked bootloader.
So if you are on froyo there is a small chance you had a locked one.
You need to root your tab then run an app to check and to patch.
(I forgot by now whether you need root to check... to patch definitely yes)
Now, that is why Overcome guide said if froyo you need to root.
It is not strickly necessary.
Now, let's assume you don't have locked bootloader.
You only need to use Odin and flash GB stock safe v5 (which is actually Gingerbread Samsung version JQ1 Italian rom)
So, you need Odin.
Unpack the gb stock safe and you find Odin and USB driver.
Install USB driver first, then plug in your tab and your PC will detect the new device.
Unplug your device.
Install Odin.
Launch Odin, put your device to download mode and plug your device in to PC.
I am not a big user of Odin. I use heimdall in Linux which is simple and just work, so my memory is sketchy.
Odin will detect your device. There will be messages on screen.
Line up the files according to the guide and flash.
If no error your tab rebooted and you have GB ROM.
that of course isn't the end because you need cwm.
So continue with the guide.
It asks you to use Odin to flash overcome kernel tar.
Do it and you will end up having cwm recovery.
That is the end of guide.
You don't need to flash overcome rom.
Just follow my other thread reply to get AOKP.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Addition info: The easiest way to check if you are rooted or not:
Download and install 'root check' or 'got root?' from google play store.
If the rooting failed, you can try the doomslords rooting script. It was my favorite root script up to GB2.3.3
Once you succesfully rooted, continue download the bootloader patch for froyo.
I have been on AOKP for so long, all this rooting, bootloader and all are a blur now.

I can feel you. I can't even 100% remember if gb-stock-safe is pre-rooted or overvcome kernel gives root access for it.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/vsN8JA6x/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
and then flashing overcome via cwm:

then you can flash any aokp or cyanogenmod mtd build.
Upgraded to ICS and thanks
Ok so thanks to all who helped out with links to roms and guides.
I now have a lovely Galaxy Tab with ICS from AOKP.
And for anyone who would like to try but hasn't yet it really is surprisingly easy, just take your time and make sure to do it right, you won't regret the upgrade to ICS
