Fwiw, i was able to root with z4...

You can't install CWM for Sprint Tab as there isn't one. :-( Yes, choosing another will brick your device.
We definitely seem to have chosen poorly. The Sprint Tab seems doomed to remain crippled forever.

... the verizon cwm works on the sprint version... atleast thats what i read in that cwm forum post

Yeah kinda sucks to be a Sprint user right now.
I hope it changes soon or we get Honeycomb!
If not, I'll be moving on to other devices for sure.

Care to post the link... Please

I have read two people make this claim but everyone seems to ignore them. I really wanna know if this true..

Here is the OneClickRootCWM3.zip for the Sprint Galaxy TAB, I haven't posted it yet because no one on the nice forum called XDA will take a second to help with the kernel.
What this does...
With on click (like the epic)
Root
Install ClockworkMOD v3.0.0.0
install Superuser
What it is missing is a kernel (zimage) to make CWM3 work.
I'll keep pushing... Someone will help me.
Here is what happens right now when you load ClockworkMOD
PICTURE OF IT WORKING

Omg yes!
Sucks having the sprint tab I constantly have problems with memory running out and I've been using CM7 Rom on my evo and LOVE it.
Just wish I could install even CM6 on the tab, if anyone know of a backup I can run before I install clockwork?
Ill try the verizon clockwork and see what happens, I just dont wanna brick it and have no way to go back...

It just has to be EXT4 and we are good.

So, can anyone confirm the Verizon Flash option in ClockworkRM will work?
or you still need EXT4 for the kernel?

CWM not working
I have the Samsung galaxy tab the (Verizon) I rooted with z4root and it worked great. however when i went to rom manager and flashed clockwork 3.0.0.0 using rom manager . Rom manager said that it was successfully flashed. But when i turn off the tab hold down power vol up and home to get into CWM it just boots into the android recovery? anyone know why CWM isnt showing up? do i have to flash a kernel ? to make CWN work succesfully? Sorry if this is Sprint only but i didnt want to make a new thread so maybe someone could help here ? any idea's ???

You need a kernel for the CWM3 to work the way it should. If you load the VZW kernel from Koush on your Sprint Tab it won't act right. Not that its that different, but enough.

No backup. waiting on a supported kernel.

I really think the problem is with CWM at this point, I tried and tried and I believe it just cannot handle the Sprint tab internally in its code for some reason. The opensource VZW and Sprint kernels are the same, but maybe the partitions are named differently.

I can see that. I used VZW kernel and I kept getting md5 Errors... Can you pull apart the VZW kernel and compare what Koush did?

[DEV][ROM] Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3.4) and Clockwork Recovery

Well I think its finally time. This file has been sitting on my computer for quite some time now. Heres the new Clockwork Recovery image:
Update Link:
June 24,2011
http://www.multiupload.com/U4D99CJRIM
And heres the moment you have all been waiting for CM7 for the Galaxy Ace
I do not own this phone once so ever so if it does not boot I will try to help as much as possible.
No way is this a final product I can tell you from coding that FM Radio does not work and graphics might be kinda funny. Sounds should work and sensors might not work. Please report on here.
Update Link : June 24,2011
http://www.multiupload.com/P1IED0IVDG
Warning attempting to install this ROM on the previously provided recovery will probably cause you to have to use ODIN.
This ROM is an attempt at using the bml over mtd system used by the galaxy s line of phones on Cyanogenmod
BTW using stock kernel anyone created a custom kernel they want to include?

I dont own this phone but I used the bml over mtd which is used on the othr galaxy s phones to make cyanogen work on them.. u may attempt flashing with pablos recovery but i dont recommend it.

No? .... please read Teamhacksung´s thread, it says it all in #1 Post
- First time flashing ICS to your Galaxy S (or coming from another ROM)?
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon
WIPE again or Calendar Sync will not work.

_______________________
And, you can just flash to a base firmware (from samsung) from (it doesn't matters on which ROM you are), I prefer JW1 as base (It's stable!!)
If you want to download any base, go to sammobile.com, create an account and voila!
Boom ... (I don't know why I say that but I like that..?)

Onecosmic's ICS ROM has been great for me, it is really fast and good as a daily. The only issue is USB connection sometimes it breaks on longer file transfer. I usually use miui rom it works simpler that way then layer ics on top.

A ROM to get your phone going again? or something else?

So, I'm new to Galaxy S. Need Help :)

Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy S i9000 mobile.
It's running on :
Android 2.3.3
Baseband : DXJV9
I have not rooted it or did anything till now.
I wanna flash ICS AOKP on my mobile..
I have tried using the search option but still im soo deserted.
Can you guys guide me on how to root,flash CWM recovery, and flash ICS please ?
and Does Galaxy S supports ROM Manager ? coz i've been using Galaxy Ace before and it didn't support it..
Thanks a lot

For Root read this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
You need to download file ending in JVP. Usually you want the one ending with last 3 digits of your baseband but as there is no JV9 JVP is close enough and is reported as working. Besides it does not really matter as you just need this for root.
Once you have root you can simply follow the guide in the AOKP thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524108
I know you have stated you want AOKP but if you want a bullet proof simple way to get this all done start with this thread for Team ICSSGS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
I usually like to make sure I have all necessary files, roms & programmes before starting so if anything goes wrong I can get my phone working again. This tutorial will help you with that also.
After following all of this you should have a good understanding of what to do and then you can flash AOKP as their instructions are kind of limited.
Also when choosing an ICS Rom this is a great thread with regards to performance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554621

AOKP is a wonderful choice.
But if I can give you an advice, wait for the next Milestone which is expected to be released over the next few days

That link for flashing Team ICSSGS has help for everything else. From downloading stock rom to flashing with Odin to flashing ics (in this case team icssgs)
You could potential substitute Team ICSSGS for AOKP.

and finally, Which version of the kernel should i use for official AOKP b34? 1.1.0 or 1.1.0s?

Not sure but both should work. 1.0.1s is for slim ics and other roms. If it is not compatible it will break 720 video recording & playback otherwise eveything else should work. There is also a video patch somewhere.

Alright..I've flashed AOKP b34 and Semaphore 1.1.0s
Everything seems to be fine
But now my sdcard is mounted as internal storage and the actual internal storage is mounted as sdcard..is this a bug or what ?
Even when I connect my phone to my PC using USB,only the actual internal storage (which is mounted as SDcard shows up..

I personally haven't 1.1.0 only 1.0.1sbm with slim ics. I think the 1.1.0 is still a test version for cm9 but could be wrong. Things may have updated since i last looked but i recommend reading the semaphore thread and posting there for more help.

Known bug in Semaphore. Make sure you enable the 'Netfilter' module in the app. When it randomly doesn't work, which is the bug, simply check and uncheck it 2 times and it will work.

Hi everyone
I have just gotten a Samsung galaxy mini. I rooted it and unlocked it okay.
But then I wanted to flash rom and stuff, so I downloaded Odin, and flashed cwm, but... When Odin says pass, it press home + power and the Samsung screen flashed twice and sticks.
But the strangest thing is that it can still boot into android sometimes.
I am on android 2.2.1
iBook anybody can help as it is worrying me a lot

before flashing rom or CWM you will need to upgrade to gingerbread either through odin or Kies
and then flash cwm and after that flash rom with cwm

Thanks for the reply
I can't seem to upgrade via kies, can you provide a link that contains stock Roms for my samsung that can be upgraded via Odin.
Is there any chance of bricking at all?
Do you need any other info?
Thanks

How do i get the right custom recovery, without the worry of it magically dissapearing again?
Would be quite grateful if someone would post a link to a recovery and method that i could follow
many thanks

Yes, originaly there was Froyo. After flashing to GB, CWM started to work. Before there was only black screen when I pressed HOME+POWER

Can somebody give me an idea on how to root my phone, again, as i would like to put cyanogen mod 7 onto it
thanks
(sorry if im being annoying)

just flash any custom rom now, you don't need root for that and most of custom roms are pre-rooted

Yes, there's maybe 2 ROMs that are not rooted, and they're pretty much outdated
