[Q] GT-P1000 Confusion about how to install Andriod - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I would love to update my GT-p1000 to ICS, I have found a whole bunch of posts about how to do this, but I can't really sort out what posts are the correct ones or where to start.
I have not updated with a custom image before so it's "clean"
I have rooted the device though, but that is about it.
Can someone guide me step by step on how to install a ICS image on this device?

Hi too. Your post confuses me. I thougt almost all ICS update Q&A threads are similar and therefore correct too.
It would start by tell you there are several ICS ROMs available.. CM9, and Stimpz0r's AOKP, being the main choices.
Continuing to ask you to follow the team overcome website instructions to restock (i.e. install GB-Stock-Safe) with team overcome kernel ONLY(no need to install overcome rom)
Next would be downloading the respective .zip file from their threads, and usually ends by asking you to follow each respective install instructions on their first posts. Currently AOKP and CM9 follows a very similar install procedures.
So, all these posts similar to tbe above are all correct.
But since you are on stock and rooted, AND if you are on Gingerbread 2.3.3 or up, with JPZ modem, you can skip the restocking procedure and directly install Overcom KERNEL before flashing ICS .zip file.

Do you mean
How do you put ICS into your Tab ?

First upgrade to 2.3.3 Then install cwm by using chainfire's pda and flashing it through odin 3 v1.7
http://www.4shared.com/zip/g-uW6vGt/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
then you have to flash overcome nowipe from team overcome's site.
after that you can follow any post incluzing stimpz0r's aokp or cdesai's cyanogenmods

What about for 2.3.3 unrooted set up if would like to had an ics? Also the same cm9?
Thanks

Same procedure.
Install CWM by flashing a kernel that has CWM built in , like Overcome 4.0 kernel.
The exact step you can follow overcome guide.
Then boot into cwm and flash ics and gapps.

One question from me (it's about ICS and soft modification so I allowed myself to put it here)
If I installed e.g. AOKP build 37 and I want to update it to build 38, do I need to use Recovery to install new rom only? Will it wipe my data (so I need to back it up using Titanium etc.?) or should I clean it myself? What about dalvik?
Thanks for answers!

It is OK to wipe cache and dalvik cache (some recovery just lump it as wipe cache)
I update from AOKP #37 to #38 without issue, everything intact.
Remember to flash gapps again.
But there has been at least two cases if seasoned users who got stuck upgrading and had to restock.
Just in case, copy everything from internal SD to external SD or to PC, since restock with pit file will reformat internal SD.
Edit: recovery is for flashing anything and wiping, not just for flashing new rom.
Of course it only flash zip that is packaged for flashing.

Tab GT-P1000 Which version of Clockworkmod do I install?

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.

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.

I recommend first upgrading to 2.3.3, then flashing chainfire's modded cwm via odin:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/vsN8JA6x/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
and then flashing overcome via cwm:
http://www.ravishare.com/1fragzl971e6/Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip.html
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
I stood on the shoulders of giants to do this :good:.
So you use the method I posted or what Gogol posted?

[Q] Is it worth it?

hey guys, I was thinking to root my note n7000 running android 4.0.4
I read many threads and guides but could not understand the way to do it...
some says "this way is better and safe" and some says "that one is risky, try another"
Actually I want to root because of two reasons
1. Want to install a beautiful (good looking) ROM like MIUI (cause installing themes makes my note slow, toooo slow and then it crashes too)
2. I want some apps that require root (like an app to remove permissions that apps ask but they don't actually need)
So I wanna ask you guys, is it worth rooting?
Is it possible to install MIUI in note OR is there any other better alternative to MIUI
I don't really care about the warranty as long as I can understand the way to root my phone safely so I won't brick it (though I even read in some threads that you can root without going against the warranty conditions)
I also saw the one-click root setup that needs a PC, download the rar, connect phone, USB-debugging and start the file in PC, is it safe and not outdated or patched by the android 4.0.4
So guys, suggest me should I root or just wait for JB update for the note
and if you suggest that I should root then can you please :angel: point me in a direction, to a good and easy to follow guide for newbies...
:highfive:
i rooted the note as soon as i got it..
its very simple to root a 4.0.4 these days and safe as well..
check you rom build number and download the kernel corresponding to your rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
then place the zip file in the ext SD.. boot into recovery and update from external SD and point to the Zip file.. install and done..

thanks man for the reply,
I understand the later part that transfering the zip files to external SD and install from it
but I fail to unerstand which zip file to download
my "build number" is "IMM76D.DDLR9"
and "baseband version" is "N7000DDLRR1"
also I wanted to ask if this the same CWM.zip method as mentioned in this THREAD cause they are saying that following this method will result in a brick
one last thing, if you could also make my doubts clear
rooting is needed to access to system files so that we can install and use apps which require ROOT
but I do not know about kernel and CWM...
once again many many thanks for the reply...:victory::angel:
Use ddlr9
cwm.zip can result in a brick
yes root is needed to access system
to install. mods, tweaks, different roms etc etc. etc

kernel is a universal name. You can look it up anywhere
cwm is an advanced recovery that can perform many tasks as compared to stock recovery and is embedded in the kernel for note. when you change kernel your recovery will change as per what the dev included.
cwm is aso required to install custom roms

Considering your requirements you should root.
Your only concern is that you may not be able to do it properly.
Rooting is now a cake walk. Just follow Dr ketans thread

yeah that's what I thought
I would rather give it to some other person who knows the process of rooting than doing it myself, looks very confusing to me :silly:
okay done!
so I have finally rooted and flashed my kernel...
I followed this guide on youtube
youtube[dot]com/watch?v=fIV84TwdPdY
basically, it told me to download "Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed.zip" and update from the zip and I followed
then I got the supersu app in my note and my note was rooted then following the guide again, I installed "mobile odin pro" from the play store, downloaded "speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-CWM.zip" and using mobile odin i flashed it
so now my phone's "about" page is like this
View attachment 1653682
so I just wanted to ask whether this kernel is safe or not, do I have to still flash something else cause I read that most of the ICS kernels are affected with the "brick" bug and I was on android 4.0.4 when I rooted and flashed my phone..,
and what about flashing roms...,
It's only stock ics roms that are unsafe. Speedmod is safe, also worth checking out is phillz kernel which is as close to stock as you can get but with the mmc_cap_erase command disabled.
Since you're on a safe kernel now you can flash most roms straight away, although if flashing cm based rom like paranoid or cm10 you usually need to flash a cm based kernel first, then boot into recovery and flash the cm rom from there. All first posts will contain necessary flashing procedures. You'll get the hang of it and if you need help continue asking.

now, what rom you people suggest me to install as I am AGAIN confused to choose the rom
and as SpyderTracks said to install CM roms i need CM kernel too, so I suppose there will be again many more choices, so would anyone tell me which one is the easiest and simplest...
I actually looked at many roms
like MIUI, CyanogenMod, some jellybean roms like JellyBam
so from where should I start to understand this rooting things
P.S I have got mobile odin pro and rom manager from store, if they can help
EDIT
please help me out, I did something wrong
i downloaded and installed mobile odin pro
flashed latest CWM
and then I downloaded "RocketMIUI v8 - MIUI 2.10.19 - SNote running!!! - multilang" and wenti into recovery vol. up+power+home
first of all I used "wipe data/factory reset" option and then "wipe cache partition" and then finally I used "install zip from sdcard"

It's just a flashing error or kernel issue, don't worry just yet. Reflash the rom, it comes provided with hydracore kernel. Leave it with that kernel, remember to do 3 wipes after flash, then try reboot.

[Q] Overcome 1.6.4 to CM9

I am still on the Overcome 1.6.4 with my SGT7 and was looking to upgrade to CM 9.I have had a read through the forum and the guides mention about restocking using the Overcome method before upgrading.
1. Since I am already using Overcome 1.6.4 and have CWM, am I able to flash the CM 9 files and gapps through recovery or is upgrading to Overcome 4.1 a must using Odin?
2. I am looking at the CM 9 stable but i also noticed that there is a CM 9.1 stable too. I was not able to find out the differences between the two or which one is better? I am guessing CM 9.1 might be the one to go for?
3. With CM 9 would we have to flash another modem or that comes already built into the rom? My model is the P1000
Anybody able to help steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
You dont have to flash a modem separately, but if radio does not work, you have to put the modem in the right place in the rom
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, and in regards to my first question...
Am i able to directly flash CM9 files directly from recovery of overcome 1.6.4 without upgrading to Overcome4.0 kernel?
In theory, yes, you can, if the CWM is version 5.x
Version 4.x may give you assert failure. You can remove the assert part from the updater-script, and you better edit it from within the zip using 7zip instead of unzip and rezip unless you are in linux, and also when editing the file you need wordpad instead of notepad to preserve the linux/unix text file end of line char.
but still I recommend you go through the whole shebang of GB-stock-safe-v5 according to overcome guide (link is at my signature).
Apart from less hassle, guaranteed to work if followed to the letter, your Overcome 1.6.4 is froyo and I believe you still have a froyo bootloader.
Not that it is bad or anything, I just think it is better to flash GB bootloader (which is included in GB-stock-safe-v5)
Well, the cm9.1 has cwm based recovery 6.0.1.2...so it is possible...

Thanks guys for your help!
I was so cautious about this upgrade as the tab is not with me and I will be talking somebody through the upgrade over the phone and he is in a different city. So I wanted to be really sure about the whole process. I will give it a go sometime soon and revert back if i end up with issues. Fingers crossed that will not happen

[Q] GT-P1000 Queries

Hello everyone, a neighbour has given me his Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000, requesting me to flash a stock firmware on it. But, before I do so I have a few basic queries.
:silly:
Consequently, I intend on discussing all my queries pertaining to the said device under this thread I have created, rather than creating individual threads and cluttering this sub-forum.
I intend on flashing the P1000XWJP9, a stock Gingerbread (2.3.6) firmware of the United Kingdom/Ireland region. Hence, do I need to use the gt-p1000_mr_PIT PIT file and the dbdata.tar file while flashing the aforementioned stock firmware? Also, am I required to keep the Re-Partition option enabled in PC ODIN before commencing the flashing procedure?
My neighbour's device details are as follows -
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000DDJP4
Kernel version: [email protected] #4
Build number: GINGERBREAD.DDJPA
After reading Chainfire's [25.01.2011] WARNING! Do not flash JM*,KA*... README! [Patch released, L/N supported] thread, I learnt that all Gingerbread firmwares have signed bootloaders, but flashing custom kernels and custom firmwares should not be an issue.
Personally, I was keen on rooting my neighbour's device through CF Root, using the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip file, but he is not one bit interested in rooting. So, I have to respect his decision, and make do with just flashing a stock firmware.
I await your expertise, and I thank you all for your patience with my naive queries.
Upon researching further, I learnt about restocking. A massive thank you to priyana, whose signature provides the link to the highly acclaimed Overcome Installation Guide.
:good:
Following the Overcome guide, I believe I could just restock my neighbour's device using the GB-Stock-Safe-v5 package and leave as it is, which would give the device the JQ1 stock Gingerbread (2.3.6) firmware.
But, for the sake of my curiosity, I am keen on learning and thus knowing, if the gt-p1000_mr_PIT and dbdata.tar files along with the Re-Partition option being enabled, are compulsory requirements if I intend on flashing the P1000XWJP9, or any other stock Gingerbread (2.3.x) firmware?
I am aware my queries are naive, but they aid in my learning.
Awaiting your helpful replies.
repartition will be needed if you are returning to stock from custom ROM that uses different partitioning scheme.
It does kind of reformat your storage too, so it is up to you.
I never use dbdata.tar on its own, although I am aware of a few methods that uses that.
If you are using Overcome's method, you use everything that comes in the GB-stock-safe-v5

priyana, thank you very much for your prompt response.

Presently, my neighbour's device is on the JPA stock Gingerbread (2.3.3) firmware, and thus going by your reply, it is clear I do not require the Re-Partition option be enabled. But, I do need the PIT file while flashing another stock Gingerbread (2.3.x) firmware, right?
Also, if I were to root the device based on its current JPA stock firmware, could I use the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip file to do so?
I await your further assistance.
PIT is partition information table.
You only need pit file to repartition.
So no, you dont need pit file.

CM9.1 flashing issue
Hello everyone, my neighbour suddenly decided, and as such has given me the green signal to root and flash a custom firmware on his GT-P1000.
As the device was on the JPA stock Gingerbread (2.3.3) firmware, I restocked using the GB-Stock-Safe-v5 package, and rooted the device flashing the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar file via PC ODIN.
I was keen on flashing the CyanogenMod Ice Cream Sandwich custom firmware (CM9.1), and thus copied the cm-9.1.0-p1.zip and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip files onto the root of the Internal SD. After that, I booted the device into the CWM custom recovery and performed the 3 wipes (data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache). Subsequently, I chose the CM9.1 zip file to be flashed.
But here is where I hit a roadblock. The device kept rebooting and thus displaying the CyanogenMod boot screen. This continued into what seemingly was, sort of a loop. As of now, I have only restocked the device again.
:fingers-crossed:
Should I have used the Overcome kernel instead of the CF modified kernel? I am still unsure what went wrong whilst attempting to flash the CyanogenMod custom firmware.
I await your expertise.
From stock, you need to flash cm9.1 3 times, not just one.

priyana, thank you very much for your valuable response.
I have not understood your advise about flashing CM9.1 three times, and thus humbly implore you to kindly elaborate further, possibly laying out the procedure.
I thank you for your patience and await your further guidance.
Just do exactly like I said. Flash the Rom zip 3 times.
While doing it, try to read what the screen shows.
First flash typically replaces your kernel, and you return to cwm but no longer cwm 4 or 5 from cf-root or overcome. Likely it will be cwm6 from cm/humberos.
Second flash may say something about converting your partition from bml to MTD.
Third flash will say things about flaring your system. That will be the real Rom, and it takes longer than the first two.
Most newbie just flash once and when returned to new cwm, they thought it is a boot loop. The key is, read the screen.

CM9.1 flashing issue
priyana, thank you very much for your clarified response.
:good:
Kindly pardon my naive behaviour, but do I have to flash the CM9.1 zip file three times manually, or do I choose the option 'install zip from SD card', select the said zip file once, and the process will automatically initiate three times?
I humbly implore you to continue guiding me, and I thank you for your immense patience.
No. Manually 3 times.

[Q] Rom Flashing sequence?? 4.04 -->4.22

Hi,
I would like to know the rom flashing sequence like if I got a P1000 4.04 CM 9, and i want to upgrade to CM11
then what path should I take?
Can I flash the 4.22 rom directly?
or 4.04 --> 4.1 --> 4.2
or need to back to 2.3 and flash to 4.2?
I searched some posts but I cannot find the answers
I know there is some sequence and if not follow, may brick the phone.
Since your cm9 could be of old mtd (prior to April 2012), you better restock, then flash overcome kernel or any cwm, then flash cm10 or any kernel that has TWRP recovery, then cm11.

There is no need to restock and no need to go step by step...
Which one of the available CM11 4.4.2 ROMs do you intend to use? I had pretty much all of them working at one point or another.
I ended up running the latest storm31 ROM in DALVIK mode with the PDROID patch.
ART or DALVIK is another question you will have to answer for yourself before you start.
Are you running on TWRP or Clockworkmod Recovery?
You should have Odin or Heimdall ready in case something goes wrong for a fast restore of a working boot image. That saves you from any possible need to restock.
