[Q] ICS on P1000 - HumberOS and AOKP - Issues Please Help!!

HI team,
I had the ICS installed using AOKP build 31. I had issues with the SD card not reading and majorly that i did not find the file explorer option on the phone. I kept searching for that option and could not find it anywhere. Later thought of downgrading to Humber OS's version on ICS. On bot the times i had it flashed with teh same Kernel from Humber OS. The second time i used Gapps thats little older hoping for file explorer. Once i installed the other ICS, the phone just hung and not responding at all.
Can somebody help? Do we call this bricking?

WHere Does it freeze? on the GalaxyTab screen or on the Boot Animation Screen?
Have you done Factory Reset Wipe and Cache data wipe? The solution may be as simple as doing it on CWM.
Note:
For the File explorer, HumBerOS' ICS also does not have File Explorer. You need to install Root Explorer to access your External SDCard, under emmc,
or under mnt/emmc folder in root. All these are written in each respective threads, if your read carefully you should've found it before you decided to change from AOKP to HumberOS.
Cheers.

Currently, the phone does not boot up at all. With the start button 'Samsung Galaxy tab' shows up and goes all dark on me. The lights on the soft touch comes up and dies off in some time. I am unable to get to recovery, but comes to the download screen. So i tried to use Odin to get back to overcome or stock but the PC does not recognize the phone anymore. I used Kies to get the drivers but im not sure of the battery level to run odin. Other problem is that im not sure if the batt is getting charged when plugged. So im stuck nowhere..
Does it sound like its bricked? Is there anything that i can do??

Here's what you should do to make sure that is charged leave it charging turned off for about 14 to 16 hours.
Then with odin flash stock.
Best of luck a couple of times mine did the same and I could recover like this.

Thank you so much. Ill try doing that today. Ill leave it for charging overnight. Should i use the samfirmware stock or can i just use the GB STOCK SAFE V5 from Overcome experience?
But its great to know that it will be alright and you have brought it back to normal.

Yes. It worked and im on Overcome experience. Thanks a lot

I m on stock gb and want to install aokp ics on my tab.Do i need to flash the overcome gb stock safe file and then flash the overcome kernel or should i directly flash the kernel and then the overcome rom?

Well if you want to go to overcome 4.10 you have to do just overcome kernel and then overcome Rom.
For AOKP ICS same thing but with the AOKP Rom.
Make sure that you are using a GTP1000 not P1000L/N.
You can run overcome and AOKP on those but you need diff kernels.
Best of luck.

Thanks a million, im back on overcome experience. I had the tab charged for the whole night,then went on with the procedure given at the overcome link. My tab woke up like a charm. Thank you so much for the assistance.
Now that i tasted a bit of ics just cant get over it. I would like to install aokp again. As per the forum i can load aokp with the kernel given at humeros site right. Can i try that? How will i get the file explorer once i have aokp installed? Aokp ics was a visual treat even though i managed to mess that up. Please help me on how to access my sd card when i flash aokp. Hiw to get my titanium back up run for restoring my apps? I did not find a market app also , can i just download it and run using apk file?

If you read aokp Sgt thread carefully
- the rom includes kernel for p1000
- you need to flash gapps to get Gmail and Google play
- external sdcard is now /mnt/emmc

I directly wanna get aokp ics on my tab which is on stock gb.In the aokp dev post it is written that sm1 coming from a stock/rfs rom should first follow the overcome guide and then the other steps.
Does it mean that for getting aokp i have to first flash overcome and then follow the steps to get aokp on the tab?
As there is no cwm recovery for the tab,is it possible to flash aokp via odin when i m on stock gb rom?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

No, it is not possible via Odin now.

I finally was able to install aokp rom on my galaxy tab.
I wasn't able to find stock video player in this rom.Isn't it included?Also the app called galaxy tab settings force closes every time I open it.Is it a common problem?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-6

Oh god, aokp ics from is heavenly. I had it installed from overcome. The gapps trouble vanished with re flashing after first boot. Now all my Google apps are back. I have titanium back up fired up and I'm all set. Along with the camera fix, this is the best and I'm at cloud... wow wow... I'm all amazed this ice cream sandwich is so yummy....

I got it when i rooted my tab.
I think root access is required for cwm btw...

now i rooted by super1rootclick.
and now i can access recovery mode.
that's mean cwn is not require anymore ?

You can always access recovery mode.
The stock 3e recovery.
But you want custom recovery, ClockWorkMod recovery being the only one for tab.
Flashing cf-root kernel will give you cwm.
But staying on froyo is not so good, with some having protected boot loader.
Why not just find overcome rom in dev thread and flash it.
You won't regret.

Thanks a lot for that link priyana! Now got a nice guide with pictures
The overcome guide works like a charm, used it on my GT-P1000. It's now running the AOKP ICS 4.0.4 build #36 nice and smooth.
After completing the full overcome guide you can simply flash the AOKP build with cwm.

Download this file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/g-uW6vGt/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
Also download odin v1.7 (google it). Boot your tab in download mode (turn off tab, then hold power button and volume down button simultaneously)
open odin and select the above mentioned file as pda
connect your tab to your pc
start flashing
you will get a rooted tab with cwm installed
please thank me if you found this useful

Basically you need to try flashing gb stock safe package from overcome using Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Hi Priyana,
Do you recommend I do the following but with gb stock safe ?
1) download overcome 4.0 kernel tar file and keep it in your PC
2) download aokp build 38 and gapps-ics from the link in aokp post. Put both on external SD card.
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.
5) power up to recovery by pressing volume up and power button.
I find it a bit tricky sometimes, maybe the way I hold the button. But you will get there.
6) from cwm recovery, choose to install update from external SD card and browse to aokp zip file and install. Some message about checking bml/mtd and you see the tab reboot.
7) you may get a boot loop, it may not boot into recovery, or it may go direct back to recovery. If it does that it is normal.
First time coming from bml to mtd will do that.
Just flash aokp one more time.
You will notice the cwm is not the overcome one anymore. It looks similar but it is not. You will have to browse to internal SD card instead, because this recovery somehow calls your external SD as internal SD.
8) so flash aokp again, and when completed, flash gapps-ics
9) when completed just reboot and sit back and wait till it is done!

I see you came across my old post.
Yes, that should work. But download stimpz0r AOKP build 40.
The post was back when 38 was latest.
If the AOKP failed to flash, you need to go for entire gb stock safe though.
Go ahead try as per this AOKP install post and let me know if you have difficulty.

Great , I am out of the endless boots I was having and now have Gingerbread installed. Bit behind the times though my tab is functional and bit more snappy then the old Froyo. If you have any ideas on how to install Jellybean or any other roms you recommend for GT-P1000 I would really interested. Thanks again champion you have saved me alot of heartache.

Go for AOKP!
you have the instruction laid out here, nothing stopping you.
And if you are bored you can try cm10.
From now on the steps are the same.
Boot to cwm, wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and flash the rom and the gapps.
Please note gapps for ics is different from gapps for jb.
Btw, this is the many times I see cf-root way fails while overcome method works.
Thanks to team overcome we have such a reliable method to get cwm recovery.

I have the rom and gapps from this link http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...-4-1-1-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-106995/ but I don't think I have clockwork installed as my recovery looks stock. I'm not too sure on where to go from here asthus where I kind of got stuck last time.

You have the 9 steps I wrote.
From step 3 to 5,
At the end of step 5 you will have cwm.
Which one you didn't get?
The guide? I was referring to Overcome guide.
Jump here for the kernel and the guide:
Here is the kernel (tar format for Odin, zip isn't the one you want I guess)

and guide here
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1
So, open the guide:
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.

Thanks I will give that at a go now but reading through the guide I forgot to flash the modem file. Am I able to do this seperately?

Don't worry.
The modem was for non mtd.
Once you flash AOKP and the mtd conversion takes place, all partitions are wiped out.
On second flash the rom is installed and jpz modem is included.
It will be just a file in /radio/modem.bin in MTD rom.
If you need to replace the modem in the future, just unpack a modem package and use root explorer to copy and paste the new modem file to overwrite the one there and reboot.

Fantastic From Froyo To JB !
So let me get this right, If I want to change Rom in the future.
All I need to do now is boot up CWM Recovery then Flash Rom And Gapps and if anything goes wrong Flash GB Stock Safe through Odin in Download mode.
Can I ask which Rom you are using/prefer ?
This JellyBean Rom looks good but is not as responsive as GB also I'm having difficulty rotating in home screen.
Thankyou for all the information you have provided me.

You did see me mention AOKP many times, right? that is my favourite.
AOKP and CM9 are ICS.
CM10 and Paranoidandroid 1.99 are JB.
Btw,
don't forget to flash gapps.
Yes, most rom for ICS/JB here are MTD rom, so just do the wipes and flash from cwm.

Is my Galaxy Tab bricked?

Hey there guys I'm hoping someone can help me! I have a 16gb P1000T (Australian Telstra version)
I was going through the motions of upgrading my tab from an ICS build to a JB build, which failed, I then tried to flash back the previous build with the same error. I tried numerous ROM's and versions with nothing working (I would always get a boot loop) Eventually it stopped booting into even the CWM recovery mode. I then optioned to restock, I now cannot access the recovery mode no matter what kernel or recovery I flash or how. I can only get the stock ROM to boot and even then the ROM will automatically shutdown if the display is allowed to flick off...
So basically I'm at the current point;
- I can get a 'downloading' screen and 'successfully' flash almost anything using Heimdall or ODIN
- I cannot access any type of recovery mode... at all using power+vol down
- The only ROM that will boot is the stock one
- The stock ROM turns the tab off if the display is allowed to go to sleep
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Hamish

Since you can go to download mode, i can assure you that you have not bricked your tab, unless you have messed with the partitions. i do not know much about cdma tabs, but you have not bricked your tab

I think I may have inadvertently messed with the permissions - The overcome method doesn't work - same issue over and over. Something about MTD ROMs vs non-MTD? I'm not sure what they mean, but I think I may have gone from one to the other without restocking?
Also the tab runs on GSM 850/2100, not CDMA.

Can you elaborate which part of overcome method fails?
The first part is flashing gb stock safe.
You need to tick repartition.
Did you get that done successfully and tab boot to stock gb nicely? Or still the screen off and it is powered off again.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Hi Priyana, I get a nice stock GB, but as soon as I try and root, I can't boot or enter recovery - I'm trying again now.

From fresh stock.
Just boot to download mode, and flash overcome kernel using Odin.
Once done, the tab reboot, ignore it, just force it off.
Then boot to the new recovery.
And immediate flash ics rom. You need to do this twice.
Then flash gapps.
Then reboot to ics.
I have done this so many times, using Odin or heimdall. And guides so many people doing it. Works all the time.

Hey guy, there are different launchers to personalize your apps. I prefer the Apex launcher which offers a lots of customizations.
Themes and gadgets are available in the playstore just look for them some gadgets from cm9 running in cm10 as well.
But you have to try the different cm10 Roms by yourself, because every Rom have other nice features. I tried the most of them and Helly Bean from der Teufel should be the best Rom for customization in my opinion.
Task manager only available in a few beta Roms because touch wize from Samsung isn't fully ported (stable).
You need to install a search app like OI file (its free) which is similar to my files on old Roms.

Can you give me a tutorial for "THe best ROM" "Helly Bean from der Teufel" ,for my SGS?

Okay:
1) your phone should be rooted. If not, follow this step
Search for darky's Resurrection package and follow the instructions from there.
2) search and download the latest cm9 nightly (just use xda search) and put it on your internal sd card (via usb)
3) grab the latest release from Helly Bean Rom from the xda thread (development thread) and put it next to the cm9 nightly on your internal sd card.
4) reboot into recovery (voll up + main button + power button or choose recovery via in the powemenu if the phone is running)
BEFORE FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP BE SURE TO HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP OR TITANIUM APP BACKUP!
Do all wipes:
Factory reset
Wipe caxhe
Go advanced and wipe dalvik cache
flash the downloaded cm9 nightly
After install and reboot, go back to recovery and do all 3 wipes again. Now flash the latest Helly Bean Rom. Wait for reboot, maybe pull out the battery if the first flash let your phone go into a boot loop. Try to enter the recovery menu via 3 button combo and flash the Helly Bean Rom again. After reboot all should be working fine.
Hope you'll get all of the steps right in your mind. But be carefully. Flashing on your own risk and be sure to have backups of all your data and especially from the efs folder (without that folder your not able to get access in mobile networks anymore!)
Good luck and best regards

Soft bricked and need help

ok so i obviously didnt think things though before doing this, i have an I9000 which was on GB 2.3.4. i decided to flash semaphore's 2.9.0 kernel and i tried installing nightly's Cm 10.1 rom on my device but to no avail as i keep receiving status 0. now i thought it was a bad download but it wasnt as i was able to extract the zip file without any problems, i then proceeded to download other roms as well to try to see if i could install any of it. im already up 8 hours and i still can seem to install anything on it.. worst thing is i've forgotten what baseband i was on so im stuck with an unusable phone. are there any solutions to this?

You can try to go back to GB via Odin.

Be sure your phone is recognized by your PC. If not, you can install the USB drivers.
Here is a link for the USB drivers:

From GB Rom, you can decide to upgrade to ICS, then to JB.
But the important thing first is to make your phone running in GB with all features functioning normally.
Good luck.

the GB link is broken; well i managed to install a copy of JW4 BB running on 2.3.6 but wifi and physical home button is broken. from there i proceeded to flash with odin a Cm9 kernel, and did a full wipe and everything and then installed a nightly's cm9.1 rom. Problem is it installs successfully but it doesnt boot into the rom, instead it goes back into CWM after reboot.

So i managed to flash CM9.1 and got it to boot, but the home button and the soft press buttons are not working. in addition, phone automatically goes to landscape when i enter settings.

I don't know why link was broken. Can you try again with this link:

It should work well on your phone. You can use this as base in case you want to upgrade to ICS then to JB.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 C-RoM BeaN v2
Kernel: Mackay 0.230
Baseband: I9000BVJJPG

i appreciate your help but the download link leads to me an ad which then just prompts to download a software called ilividsetup.exe. Are there any other links to download that rom? so sorry for the trouble

The rar file seems already removed or the link is down. Sorry about that.

On the top right corner you'll see a 5 second countdown followed by a skip ad button. Click the skip ad button and it'll take you to the download link.

yeah i did. I am able to go back to stock JW4 but I cant go any further than 2.3.6. every single rom that i install only leads to me to a loop back to CWM. so far i've only managed to install nightly's CM9.1 and even that is pretty much unusable for me because soft press buttons and home button doesnt seem to work. looks like im stuck on 2.3.6

Yeah, I have noticed that. All of the firmware links to fileshare sites take you to some other place where you are prompted to download a program called 'download manager'. What's all that about? Anyone know?

After you install the ROM, it just boots back to CWM, right? I had encountered similar problem, unfortunately I do not know if it's thr same. I installed the ROM through CWM, phone booted into CWM based CM10 recovery. Nothing more. Then, I fully wiped the phone again and installed the rom the second time. Then gapps and vuola!

You will need to flash the ROM twice when flashing CM10 as it uses a different partition layout.

Yeah when you first install the ROM via cwm it will reboot itself once especially if youre on an older version of cwm. Thing is I've flashed the ROM 3 times and it still does the same thing which is rebooting itself into cwm. I've just exchanged a new device with the shop I bought it from and I don't think I'm gonna do anything with it anymore and just let it stay on the ROM its on. Though I'm curious about one thing, I managed to get to cm9.1 but the home buttons and the soft press buttons don't work At all. Any idea as to why that happened ?
btw it comes with a preinstalled lidroid rom which is 2.3.4. and its pre rooted; its BB is I9000ZSJPJ, are there any roms out there for this BB?
