Which rom should I use to flash?

Here are the details of my tab
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Ver: I987UCJK1
Kernel Ver: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.UCJK1
Carrier: At&t US
So I managed to root my device using Superoneclick but I'm having trouble running clockworkmod because of a package verification error. I've realized that I need to upgrade my kernel to make it work. But I'm having trouble finding the right kernel/rom. I'd prefer to flash a new rom using ODIN but I'm unable to figure out which rom to use. Can anyone suggest me a rom to choose? I'm confused by jk,jv,ja terminology

Flash the rotohammer JME version 4. Then flash chainfire cf root to get CWM. BE SURE TO USE FROYO VERSIONS NOT THE GINGERBREAD VERSION.

I believe AT&T is a GSM tab, uses a sim card, so any GSM roms will work. If its doesn't use a sim card look for the CDMA roms.
I would suggest upgrading to gingerbread as that works really well.
The best advice I could give is read any guides on updating REALLY well, go slow, doublecheck what you've done and DON'T skip steps because you read through already.
If you want to keep all your Contacts, Apps ETC... then backup with Titanium Backup before you flash as this will clear it out...
GSM ROM
Go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 it will give you an app thay allows you to check your bootloader.
You may have to go to settings>Applications>unknown sources needs a tick to install.. This allows the installation of 3rd party apps using file manager. Run the app, it will tell you if the bootloaders are locked or ask if you want to unlock... Use at your own risk...
So saying, this was the first gingerbread rom I flashed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
Instructions were - Procedure (ODIN !):
- Download and extract the firmware zip
- Download and extract the attached gt-p1000_mr_PIT.zip
- Download and extract the attached dbdata.zip
- Flash the firmware tar as PDA, repartition enabled, use the attached PIT
- After flash immediately boot into download mode again - wait for it to go to the samsung LOGO here as a whole heap of writing goes up the screen then it reboots. DO NOT TURN OFF UNTIL IT REBOOTS TO THE SAMSUNG LOGO...
- Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition) in ODIN again.
- After flash immediately boot into recovery mode
- Wipe cache
- Wipe data / factory reset
- Wipe Dalvick cache
Then flash this in ODIN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=593112&d=1305133135
This will root your device.
I then updated to this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
Cheers...
Added this set of instructions, it has pictures, remember there will be some differences... - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=596770&d=1305467639

Before you flash anything, kindly check if you have protected/locked/signed bootloaders.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Do appreciate it. So regarding the bootloaders, what should I milk for?signed, secured??

Just a comment about the procedure above.....unless you have CWM you will not see an option for dalvick cache in the default recovery,at least for mine the last entry was for cache-no advanced features like battery wipe and dalvick......

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stock rom flashing help

Hello,
I am completely new to flashing roms on android devices and i am just trying to understand the basics behind the process.
- Installing custom roms
- reverting back to stock firmware after installing a rom
I read the 4th post in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
i kinda have some understanding about flashing roms now but i still dont fully understand it.
My device is a Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
Thanks

What exactly do you want to know?
1. Installing custom roms is pretty easy the hard part is choosing the rom and to flash a rom you need to have the cwm recovery and like be on the base you need. ex: lets say you are on a jvt rom and you want to flash a jw1 rom, well in this case you dud need to flash jw1 from odin and then flash the rom from recovery...., but if you are on a jw1 custom rom, then in that case you can just flash the rom from recovery with wipe (recommended).
2. To flash back to stock: you dud need the stock file from sammobile or from wherever you get it and you would need odin, you place your phone in download mode then you put 512pit in the pit section/ code in the pda section/ modem in the phone section/ and csc in csc. then you have to make sure that repartition is ticked and all the others. make sure that the download is not interrupted for that would brick the phone.
-to flash a kernel you dud need to put the tar file in pda and Don't check repartition and click start.
I hope this helped a little
and remember to do this at your own risk.

Sorry for the noob questions but im just trying to understand haha
1. what are jvt and jw1 roms?
2. When you say be on the base you need do you mean the base firmware required for the rom?
3. How would i know which rom i have now, JVT or Jw1?
4. Whats the thing u mentioned whipe in "you can just flash the rom from recovery with wipe (recommended).?
last.5. I already found the stock firmware i have now and ive downloaded it for later if i need to restore it. but what is the tar file you mentioned in the end?
Thanks Man. I appreciate it.

sorry, this is not meant to be offensive but you have a lot to read. There're some good tutorials on how to flash your phone here on xda. search for it.
short answers to your questions:
1. jvt or jw1 are versions of stock samsung roms
2. I think he means if you are on a jvt rom you should only flash custom roms for jvt
3. settings>about phone
4. wipe means resetting the phone, deleting cache and dalvik-cache

no matter what u know u first should know about flashing stock roms..in case u mess something up u will need to flash the stock roms,its a good thing that u have already downloaded these..then u should know how to install kernels to root n have Clockworkmod recovery,then u will be able to flash custom roms..u should serach the net for these questions with a 'How to' at first...

Instruction for new ROM installation
There are basically 2 methods for flashing a ROM
1. CWM recovery menu mode
2. Download mode.
1. For CWM recovery mode you phone must be rooted with CWM, just put the ROM zip file in sdcard of your phone of your choice. then power off the phone. Then you may want to boot in reovery mode for this use pressing and holding 3 button combination simultaneaously as Volume UP + Home key + Power key now you should be booted in to recovery mode there just wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache from option then find and select install from sdcard -> chose file zip from sdcard and press power key to selct and start flashing. wait max 5 min and your phone will be booted with new rom of your choice.
2. Boot in to download mode by pressing and holding 3 button combination simultaneaously as Volume down + Home key + Power key now you should be booted in to download mode now connect your phone with PC and open odin in PC then select ROM file as PDA, PHONE & CSC under propoer boxes then click start - wait max 5 min and you phone will be booted in to new rom.

[Q] Anyone who succeed to root GT-N7000B?

I tried to find out how to root my GN, GT-N7000B.
But I could not find out the way.
Even I checked Kernel Version, LA2 there is no way to root.
Finally, I think my phone is a kinds of Not Directly ROM.
So, I will downgrade my ROM.
Before that, I would like ask if there is anyone who succeed to root this model.
Thanks in advance.

Go to dr ketan's thread there is a gb rom there that is already rooted when you flash it. The gb rom has no superbrick issue only ics if you factory reset or recovery data wipe or do a nandroid.
Here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816158

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
On the third post, it tells me how to root but I am a bit confused.
Is Odin the same thing as CWM?
Will this brick/malfunction my note?
After rooting, would I have to download the LA6 kernal?
Can someone give me the link to PC Odin?

1. odin is not CWM
2. yes, there is always a chance to brick, no guarantees.
3. no
just follow this:
2. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Copy one of custom Kernel in .tar file e.g.Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
-Point to ROM file you have copied
-All fiels will popup and feel automatically
-select kernel and point to custom kernel file you have copied
Flash.
Done!
you need to read some more on how to use pc odin properly.

Those threads had 5 months old and my question is
¿What is the updated procedure to root the Note? (SAFE)
by the way I'm running Stock ROM 4.0.4 XXLRT
:good: Thanks

I would suggest u follow the 1.A method in dr.ketan's thread
It is the easiest and safest method to root your phone

I rooted by flashing a zip file.I think there is a site named galaxynoteroot or rootgalaxynote
Anyway,try to find the site.it has video tutorials too
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

as RAj says just flash the Philz kernel for the rom build from stock recovery and you will get rooted after a reboot

What about this option? is it safe?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35512626&postcount=1

DUDE
go to Philz stock kernel thread. download the kernel that corresponds to your phone from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
reboot into recovery by doing the 3 finger salute.
flash it. and then reboot.
you are rooted and on a safe kernel.
simple
