Hey guys..
I have been using Xperia x10 from some time... sold it yesterday and baught this tab...
So, Now i have seen every where on these forums dnt have the clearity how to make things work..
So far i have rooted my device..
Now, i was looking for a new theme for my stock rom
BB P1000DDJJ1
Build no.
FROYO.DDJK3
Kernel ver. is 2.6.32.9..
Now can anyone please tell me how to get started to install the themes , custom recovery ( if requied to do so), boot animations and framework-res.apk (must neded).. please i have looked all over but dont knw how to get started..
( i m new new to all these .. have everything modified on my Xperia X10)
First of all: Welcome to the world of tabs.
So where to start?
Custom recovery: ClockWorkMod (CWM is the one you probably mean and want). While not mandatore, it will make your flashing-life easier. It can be most easily obtained by flashing an appropriate kernel, such as the Overcome Kernel.
As for the rest: The Overcome installation guide, found as an attachment to the first post in the thread linked above, explains everything very well and it is also applicable for other ROMs than the Overcome one.
As far as themes are concerned, they are usually installed by putting the relevant ZIP on your internal SD-card and then installing the ZIP through CWM.
I'm not really sure what else you want to do with your tab exactly so just keep asking for the missing pieces.
first of all "thanks for the reply bro"..
I hav looked upon the link... its a a custom rom... but i am not able to see its requirements like required BB or Build number... so is it compatable for my version?
secondly ..
whats the procedure to backup my current ROM ( factory rom) coz if something goes wrong or if i need to flash back ...
3rldy full wipe is compulsary?? and
lastly it says " NO Modem Included" whats modem and from where will i get my modem..?
Baseband (BB):
I assume your Tab is a GSM-variant? It should be according to the baseband. Then you can go ahead.
Now what does the BB-code mean?
BB = Baseband
P1000 = Your phone's model number
DD = Country Sales Code (CSC) for India
JJ1 = Now I'm stuck. *blushes* I guess your modem.
You will find additional usefull information in the Galaxy Tab Bible
Build:
This is "just" your firmware. Once you flash it, it's gone.
FROYO = Self expplantory
DD = India, once again.
JK3 = Your firmware version. If you are looking for a kernel, make sure it is compatible.
Which once again makes me blush since I have not made sure that the Overcome kernel is compatible. Another great kernel would be Chainfire's CF-Root. However it's not listed as JK3-compatible.
So I guess you will need to take the long way for your first flash and use Odin to flash a newer ROM as well as an appropriate kernel for future explorations.
Since the first official Gingerbread ROM has just been released by Samsung, your timing regarding first flashing experiments is impeccable.
Backup:
People around here seem to love Rotohammer's backup method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850359
So who am I to argue? My original firmware is lost for all eternity and I don't miss it
Full Wipe:
Sometimes it is recommended, sometimes not. From my own experience it is best to do a wipe if the ROM's author tells you so or if you install a new ROM from a different author.
Titanium Backup (there might be others) is your friend here: it backup s all your apps and data and restores them after a wipe. It does require root, though. However your tab is already rooted so you're good to go.
Just one caveat: In my experience restoring system data might sometimes lead to problems. If in doubt, wipe again and restore the user apps+data only.
No modem:
For Overcome this just means that it will keep your existing modem file. Though you might replace it with one that suits you.

I assume that JK3 symbolises my modem ( not sure ) as on rom page it says : JK3 modem "... and in your opinion what shud i do.. please help .. dnt want myself in any trouble ... lol
and is samsungs 2.3 official out? and shud i flash that? .. badly confused..!
Then JK3 is the version of your ROM and the version of your modem. So the easiest way to determine what JJ1 is (any more experienced user would probably know ... ah well ...) is to plug it to your computer and see what Kies spits out.
Regarding what to do next:
You could search for a kernel with JK3-support to flash any ROM of your choice more easily and with less risks involved (since your phone does everything itself, so you remove the risks of accidental unplugging or your computer/Odin acting up at an inopportune moment).
Or you could go ahead and directly flash a custom ROM with a new kernel through Odin.
The two things you will need to consider however are
1. locales: does the ROM support the language(s) you need?
2. APNs: Do you know the settings of your APNs? If neither you nor the ROM do, you might be without any data connection until you enter the APNs (which you should be able to find through Google or by asking your Operator; they are not secret).
The current JQ1 might not meet you requirements since it was released for Italy.
Edit: I forgot to mention in regard to you saying you don't want to get yourself into trouble: read the instructions and the relevant guides (Chainfire's instruction for installing his kernel and the Overcome installation guide are thorough and widely applicable) then you should not be getting yourself into more trouble then you want by deciding to flash your device anyway. But you probably already know that from your experience with the X10.
Hey guys, I am soon going to flash my i9000 and i am preparing ahead. I am currently on Orange so i am looking for an Orange stock rom to flash back to if i ever need to. I have looked around but i cannot find one. On samfirmwares it just has provider roms and i dont know which ones is Orange. I am currently on 2.2.1, although it doesnt matter if i am flashing.
Thanks in advance
Just flash a kernel that gives you root and CWM and make a NANDROID-backup.
BTW: I'm looking for the firmware of the Austrian provider '3', anybody has that?
Instead of doing a CWM, use CheckFus Downloader for REAL stock ROM : http://fus.nanzen.se/
Hello All,
This is my first post! But I have been visitor of this forum for some time now. Its been a great learning experience! OK ...let me come straight to the point..
Important Phone Specs:
-Samsung Captivate with stock ATT froyo (UCKB1)
-rooted, installed one-click lag fix (other minor things, like removed all bloatware, overclocked etc.)
I am planning on changing the icons in the notification bar (for example battery icon mod) using UOT (ultimate online theme kitchen) and I have the UOT zip file ready.
Q1. It is not clear if this zip file can be flashed from the stock recovery mode.
Per my understanding, these are unsigned files and hence might not work with stock recovery mode. Can some one please confirm?
Q2. If stock recovery mode does not work, then I plan to install clockwork mod recovery from the ROM Manager apk available on the market.
a) Since I will be using a custom recovery image, I assume I will no longer be able to use KIES to perform any stock updates if and when they become available. Is that correct?
b) How easy is it to revert back to stock recovery? Can you please let me know the procedure (or) point me to a link with this information?
The reason I ask is because I would like to stay stock as much as I can for the moment.
Thanks all for your help.
Regards.
I have used the UOT kitchen zips on stock KB1 but not with the stock recovery. I think you have to use CWM recovery. There's really no reason to go back to stock recovery. If you ever want to use Kies in the future to get updates (assuming ATT ever releases GB through Kies), you would have to flash back to stock anyway for Kies to recognize the phone.
Jackman,
Thanks for the response. I agree with you. I am not hopeful that ATT would release GB any time soon for captivate...so yeah I makes sense to go ahead with the CWM recovery.
I just wanted to know the pros and cons before I get started with the process.
read the how to flash custom roms link in my sig. new user guide too, find the part about stickies.
#1 correct.
#2 rom manager is only good for froyo roms on captivate... there are froyo kernels with CWM built in and tweaked that run fine on stock roms, but you must Odin flash the kernel.... which leads to...
#3 keis is garbage we use odin, the official samsung flasher utility. and we flash the same .tar files keis uses.
#4 easy to get back to stock. odin-one-click stock flashes are ONE CLICK. Sticky in Captivate Dev section. (use new user guide to find.)
Kies is trash. Even if you go back o stock, you probably need to modify code to make sure your phone's ID is still the correct one. It really isn't worth it considering Kies is just ODIN with a different UI and a craptistic amount of "checks" wich makes it fail 90% of the time.
I hardly ever have problems with odin. odin 1.3 sucked 1.5and newer work great. the homemade one clicks can be buggy. md5 check wont let you edit file names of tars. other than that i DONT have problems. its all i use. dont like heimdall and having to change my drivers for it.
Hello everyone!
Have a froyo 2.2.1
These are the details from my phone (SAMSUNG GALAXY MINI GT-S5570):
Have a baseband S5570XXKA5
with kernel 2..6.32.9-perf
and build number FROYO.XWKAC
from dialing *#1234# got this info:
PDA: S5570XWKAC
PHONE: S5570XXKA5
CSC: S5570TMNKB1
Already have a CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.5)
tried to backup stock rom several times I attach two log files that I extracted.
I am unable to mount (even mannualy) some partitions (if I am reading the logs correctly...)
Does this mean I can't backup stock ROM?
If I do can backup, how should I do it?
Can these errors be related to the fact that I am not using the most recent version of CWM?
I also have another version of CWM for my device. This is a zip file with version 5.0.2.6.
But, as it is a zip file with no IMG file in it, I am afraid that it would harm the phone if I would use it on the CWM recovery that is accessible through boot.
Is it possible to use CWM 4.0.0.5 to update itself?
I tried to use Rom Manager to update CWM (and to backup the rom, and you may very well check that because the names of the logs are different) RM didn't even recognize the already installed CWM, let alone update it or backup the stock rom...
So... can I really update CWM to try that route to backup stock rom?
How to use the zip file? (can I use it with CWM v4.0.0.5 or with ODIN 4.38?)...
I must say that I used ODIN 4.38 to flash the current CWM but the 4.0.0.5 CWM was a tar file.
Finally, all the info that I searched (here and elswhere) says that it is possible to come back to froyo (with the help of samfirmware site) but as I am such a noob I cannot find any ROM that is the same as the one I currently have.
I currently have Titanium Backup installed and it states that the ROM was build on the 2011/02/01 12h12 (can that be of any help to locate the default stock ROM from the ones that are available at SAMFIRMWARE?).
My carrier is TMN from Portugal, but until now, with this info I haven't been able to locate the 'one' ROM that would reassure me that I could upgrade and still have plenty of odds to come back to the startup 'scenario'.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

No, you can't backup stock rom.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Thank you for the answer.
Hello thadead,
Yours is a very assertive answer. So I don't have any chance...
But with the info I gave, can I have the 'stock' ROM from samfirmware???
And just some doubt: how did samfirmware got the so called stock roms in the first place?
Thanks for any assistance.
Samfirmware probably could have ripped from Kies update I guess. Not sure though!
Sent from SGM
here some infos on how i made a backup of my roms...
only need to say that you cannot spli CSC and /system, as in original ROMS.
another way can be to check with "check fus downloader" for you rom...
let us know...
Thank you all for all your input!
Will read as thoroughly as I can
Cheers!

Welcome! to xda-forums. If I can guess it correct then I know you ( I don't want to name you here for your privacy concern).
So, after some research around, I found it very difficult to find a firmware for your TMN device. However, I suggest you try another sim card and see if your device is sim unlocked or not.
If you phone is sim locked either wait for TMN to upgrade your rom or just unlock it. Also, since you said you have CWM v4, is it in Froyo that you have to the rom? If yes then I suggest you have CWM v5 and try to do a nandroid backup [I believe v5 will work since v4 worked]. If you are already on GB rom then try flashing a custom rom.
More talk when I hear from you!
Will try your suggestions

Hello Yagya!
Yes you got it right! (It's who you think it is...)
Now, yes, it's on froyo that I have the CWM (4.0.0.5 that you have on your blog on the tools section, I found that out by comparing md5 hash from the one that I had downloaded from bunnybugs_007 tutorial).
But I am curious to what makes you think version 5 would work on my froyo? Isn't v5.0.2.6 designed for GB or later??? And also isn't v.5.0.2.6 a buggy version?
Summing up: You say I should try v5.0.2.6 out. Should I use my zip file (which I downloaded from clockworkmod site), and use the option '(..)update.zip' from the CWM recovery itself, or should I flash your recovery.tar.md5 that you linked on your blog, doing it with ODIN?
This question is puzzling me: can CWM be used to 'update' itself on its own recovery mode???? Am almost sure it is impossible... and scares me to try...
Besides, the CWM zip file that I've gotten from Koush site doesn't have an IMG file in it, but only folders and such...
Finally I am sure I have the android simlocked (because I've just checked it)...
Will try then to unlock if that is the scenario...
If the carrier would be more thoughtful I would be less troubled...
Thanks...
hi members,
I was a Windows Mobile user, then iPhone user, and did flashing custom roms, jailbreaking, install cydia, sources all myself. Okay, recently i switched to Android GT I9305 from iPhone. After my painstaking research of how to install ClockworkMod and to root device. I believed that i got CWM and Rooted successfully into my device, and have installed Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc.
Here're my questions, hoping whom may generously offer help
My GT I9305 -- Baseband:I9305ZHALI2, BuildNumber:I9305ZHBLL3 purchased in Hong Kong
1. I'd like to flash a custom rom! Before to do so, i know i need to backup, but i don't know what exactly i need to backup with Titanium Backup
2. About custom rom-flashing, i don't fully understand of how(i did search all over, seems a bit messy and not clear enough or maybe my bad comprehension, anyway), sth like Regional, Networking, or any i concern..............as i a newbie wishing there would somebody give out a Really Detailed Instructions
3. As my device has been installed CWM and Rooted. How do i reverse it to what it was like - Non modified, brand new? Please share a piece of information if you know well.
As Android is far more complicated than Windows Mobile and iPhone for sure. I really hope somebody out there give me a hand
Lastly, i apologize for this long annoying thread, and asking such stupid question again
Expecting some with broad knowledge...
Thank you so much
1) Titanium backup only does Apps. Contacts and messages will need another app.
2) Use the All-in-one tool kit. It has everything. In general, you need to push a kernel with CWM using Odin, then use CWM to install the custom rom. (Custom rom not included in the tool kit. Explore and see which one suits you. You maybe best suited for a lite rom to begin with).
3) There are stock images which you can flash via Odin to get back to stock. You will need Triangle away app to remove the flash counter.
Not true, Titanium also backs up messages, contacts, call logs, blue tooth pairings, wallpaper, accounts, etc
How? I can never get it to do that, even with a system settings backup (Full backup).
I always use a different app after losing all my messages during a rom swap once.

thanks for your advices, i appreciate it
Sorry for my bad knowledge, what does mean "In general, you need to push a kernel with CWM using Odin, then use CWM to install the custom rom. (Custom rom not included in the tool kit. Explore and see which one suits you. You maybe best suited for a lite rom to begin with)"
May i ask for about flashing rom, i still don't know how exactly the way of doing it, could you guide me with flashing custom rom
Thank you so much
Try this , it;s great for beginners :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942150
Just flash from Odin, no root required first...
Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.
What Root Package is used in these ROMs?
- Busybox 1.20.2 (Newer ROMs)
- SuperSU 0.99 (Newer ROMs)

And you can also access a rooted, deodexed and zip-aligned ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570 or a pre-rooted, totally stock Nordic unbranded ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112213
Even though I'm in Canada, I got one of the HK devices you did with the very same firmware. Since I don't really want the Chinese elements of the HK build, I went with the Nordic unbranded ROM.
Once you have root I'd also suggest getting Mobile Odin. You can flash any firmware in .tar format directly from your device and can inject root, busybox and Mobile Odin again, so you'll always have root. And, you won't advance the modified counter that voids your warranty. This doesn't work for .zip files though.
