Hello,
I know, that professionals usually don't like these questions but I really want to know sth:
I recently installed Froyo 2.2.1 with Kies Reg Patcher and it works GREAT! The only thing that matters is the old RFS file System.
So I decided to install the Voodoo lagfix.
I put the update.zip in my root/sdcard and tried the following:
1. I started the DOWNLOAD Mode - but only the yellow shield appeared - nothing happened as expected (maybe nothing to download?)
2. I started the RECOVERY Mode and selected "Apply update.zip". ==> It was telling me after 2 seconds "Error ... unsigned ..."
==> I knew this is caused by the new recovery assistent. After all I rebootet my phone and every thing works like it was before.
Now the questions:
1. Is my system unchanged? I mean has the update.zip file copied some files until it aborded?
2. Is it bad when I turn my phone in Download mode? I mean it didn't flash/download anything - so does it really damage my phone when I press the power key 5 sec and restart my phone (ONLY IN THIS SITUATION - I know that pressing it during an update process/by appearance of the status bar can damage the phone).
Please give me some answears!
PS: By the way, on woodoo-project.org it is written that the update.zip mode "...works with clockworkmod" - what is this for a mod? I googled but I only found variations about it - not a documentation and their website seems o be down.
Has this mod automatically been installed before the "Unsigned Error" came?
LG,

In order to have your phone lag fixed, you need to root the phone (root: complete system access of your phone).
1. In download mode the phone wont update anything on its own. You need to use odin for flashing (installing) through the computer.
2. In froyo 2.2.1 you have a 3e recovery (which only updates with signed apk's) - your update.zip file is custom hence its unsigned.
about your q's
1. Your system has not been changed as the process was aborted (no files are copied or changed)
2. Its completely safe to restart you phone in download mode if you aren't flashing anything.
Note: In order to use voodoo lagfix you need to get 2e recovery for flashing custom unsigned apk's. This can be done by using CF root method (this will root your phone and also install ClockWorkMod - CWM). CWM will allow you to install the update.zip.
*For more info. just check the thread about rooting/lagfix etc. to get step by step instructions.
Thank You very much! Now I get it!
Hi All:
My Sprint Tab P100 got some strange problems.
It's a second hand P100, Once i turn on the tab, it will warning with 3 Beebee, and nook & Amaza Mp3 & Market will report error.
Below warning will show up:
Amazon MP3_nook
“The application XXX has stopped unexpectedly, pls try again”
Market
"Attention:
An Error has occured, Please try again later."
After check, i found the original usr information still there.
(Gmail/Facebook account will try to sync with previous owner's ID. and i can not remove the account.)
What i have tried:
1) I have tried to WIPE using system recovery, after WIPE both data & Cache partition, issue still exist.
2) Perform the Samsung factory reset by enter *2767*3855# in the Memo, problem still there.
3)Format the SD card with Phone & Windows, still got problem
4) Flashed with the stock EA24 Rom from XDA(with Modem,using Odin), the problem still remain the same.
5)Flashed with DJ30, the problem still exist(Base/Fireware EA24).
6)Tried to install CWM, failed to boot up(Rooted before install CWM, after flash the Zimage to Kernal or recovery, some strings flush in the screen, then the tab hung at Samsung logo and reboot.)
I guess those problem was caused by some program information still remain in the internal storage, even after factory reset or flash with other ROM.
Can somebody help on this? Also prefer someone can help on how to install CWM
I am interesting that the OVERcome 2.01 Rom got a version to WIPE the internal storage, but the OVERcome rom are designed for GSMer. Can i tried to use it to clear my internal storage?
just installed Astro, the program will crashed when launch it
Can some one help on this topic?
I am suspecting my internal storage was locked to Non-Writable.
This might result CWM can not access the internal memory caused the failure of the installation.
Is it related to the Flash lock option in the Odin?
Check this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133053
That has the stock files, and instructions to get root and CWM installed with the stock software. Using Odin to put the stock firmware (EA24) should wipe anything and everything off the tab and restore it to as if it were new out of the box. You also might want to wipe your sd card as it can cause issues with the CWM ext4 conversion.
Hi pvtjoker42 & All:
During the process of Kernel with CWM Recovery, i has been stopped @ step7
1) Download the zip file here
2) Unzip the file. You will need the file named zimage only.
3) Open Heimdall Frontend
4) Select Browse under Kernel and navigate to the file you downloaded in step 1 and select it
5) Press Start
6) The Tab will reboot, but will freeze on the Samsung logo. Turn it off and boot into recovery (Vol Up + Power)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my tab failed here, no matter what you pressed, it doesn't go to CWM. Do u have any idea?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7) CWM Recovery will attempt to back your tab up, but will fail. Don't fret.
8) Do a factory reset in CWM Recovery and reboot
9) You'll freeze on the Samsung logo again Turn it off and boot into recovery.
10) CWM Recovery will back your Tab up successfully.
11) You now have a CWM backup. Reboot.
12) Your auto rotate is broken.
13) Download the rotation file
14) Put it in /system/lib/hw and change the permissions to match the other items.
Can someone helps?
Today i tried 1 more things, Use a update.zip to update the tab from EA24 to EB28,before try this, i have tried OTA to EB28, it never success.
i download the update.zip from <forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=99sdnmh5pm4rtuv39hk80f7du6&topic=13104.0;nowap> it seems to be official one, and the recovery is the stock version, but it failed again.
I start to believe that my internal storage has been locked, and data can not write in.
Is it possible to due to Fstab issue?
Pls helps to save my tab....
There is only one thing to do : return to stock. Carefully follow the guide. Don't do anything else to your tab, until you go through the restock steps :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133053
[SPRINT] Sprint Tablet Owners Thread (Root, ROM, Flash to stock, CWM Recovery)
The process reformats/repartitions your internal sd card, and sets the correct permissions. If this process fails, there is probably something wrong with the tab.
you might also try to select the option to repartition in Odin when going back to EA24. Then try the steps to get EB28 OTA update, and once you've got that up and running, you can try the update.zip to get to EF17 (gingerbread, as long as you don't need root)
I wouldn't. Try a different sd card

Hi All:
Thanks for the advice.
I have tried to back to stock EA24 using odin, but the situation still ramain the same.
And it fail to OTA to EB28, the EB28 upgrade program will reboot the machine, and enter recovery model. but it will complete the program. also i have tried to put EB28 update.zip in the SD card, but also fail to upgrade to EB28.
I have repartition the phone by P100 serveral time using odin, also tried update Pit file. All failed.
I have format the SD card in Windows & then in Android, useless.
Now i have some clues:
In P1000 rom Roto-JME, there is Movinand.bin, this one got same name as the internal storage IC from samsung. i am thinking that file could be a file similar to partition table.
Can someone help to dump a "movinand.bin" for me from P100?
steps:
1)Get back to stock EA 24
2)Wipe Cache & factory data
3) Root it (Using superone click , you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682)
4)Install terminal (i use better terminal) or using a ADB to connect to shell.
5)Type "su", check whether "$" change to "#" in the shell
6) Type “dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/movinand.bin bs=4096”
7) Find the Movinand.bin in the SD card
You can sent it to me by drop a email to [email protected]
If there is anything wrong, pls help to correct me
Thanks in advance
as some people is asking how did i fix the issue, just publish the information here.
I fixed the issue by replaced the internal storage (the chip), cost about US$ 30(RMB 200)
If anyone have better solution, just post here to share
Hello everyone,
I've tried to install CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000. However, I must have done something wrong in the process. I'm totally new to the whole custom ROM thing. I'll try to list the steps I performed to install CM9. I hope someone can point out where I went wrong.
Generally, I followed the instructions given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593 .
1) Installed "ROM Manager" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=de).
2) Rooted my phone according to the instructions in http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-android-234-xxjvr-firmware/3/ . This uses Odin 3 v1.7 and also installed CWM Recovery (v3.0.0.5) . I checked that my firmware exactly matches the one for which the description is for.
3) Performed a backup using CWM Recovery.
4) Performed wipe (data/factory reset AND cache).
5) Installed CM9 using CWM which I had downloaded from the links given in the thread given at the beginning and placed the four .zip files (CM9, Google apps, Google apps fix and Faceunlock) on my external SD card. I only realized afterwards that the instructions said to place them on the internal SD card.
6) Installed Google apps, Google apps fix and Faceunlock using CWM.
7) Selected reboot in CWM. However, the device didn't boot into Android. First I saw the CM logo screen, then the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen.
8) Read instructions again, realized that I forgort the wipe after installing Google apps. Performed the two wipes again, however the problem remained.
9) Read instructions again, realized that I was supposed to install the .zip files from the internal SD card. I assumed that was the step I went wrong. So I decided to restore to my stock ROM which I had backup'ed before. I used the restore option in CWM, selected my previous backup (located on external SD card) and performed the restore.
10) However, the phone still does not get pass the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen. When I boot into CWM, the following appears on my screen
E:unknown volume for path [/data]
E:unknown volume for path [/data]
E:Unable process volume! Skipping...

E:unknown volume for path [/cache]

The same apperas if I try to do a "restore" from CWM again.
My questions:
1) Where did I go wrong?
2) What must I do to be able to attempt to install CM9 again?
Thanks in advance!
To get back to stock you have to flash a 3 file stock rom with repartition in odin.
i think the best is to get back stock, if you tried to restore a backup. then flash semapore kernel.
Then boot in recovery, wipe. Flash build 12 and gapps then reboot.

Hi and thanks for your reply.
Sorry, I don't really understand most of your post
1) What is a "3 file stock rom"? I know what the stock ROM is, however, what is with the "3 file"?
2) Where can I get the proper stock ROM for my phone? Haven't I backup'ed my stock ROM when I did the backup in CWM?
3) What is repartition?
4) What is semapore kernel? Why do I need it? Where can I get it?
5) So according to you I did nothing wrong in my installation and it *could* work if I tried a second time?

First take a look in ramads thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
1. Here you can read how to flash with odin and download the latest gingerbread stock rom
2 your backup will work, but you have to be on a stock rom first.
3. read how to flash with odin in the link.
4. Semapore kernel is a custom kernel, comes prerooted and stuff.
so after you are back stock you can flash this in odin, put it in pda and dont thick repartiton. No you are ready again. turn of phone, boot into recovery mode with 3 button combo, here you can restore your backup if you want. or wipe factory reset, wipe catche and dalvik catche flash build 12 and gapps from internal sd. reboot and enjoy ics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 remember to download the correct kernel for your build.
5. hard to say, the best way to get correct cwm is to flash a kernel as semapore or cf root. maybe it was somthing with your cwm (recovery)
Edit: it take some time to boot the first time
Thanks again for your reply.
So I managed to flash the stock ROM. I chose the "XFJV7/XXJVQ/OXFJV1/Sbl (MultiCSC)" which is the newest one for Android 2.3.4. I didn't tick "repartition" and didn't select Pit (what is this?) in Odin.
Now considering the Semapore kernel: how do I know which one to download in the thread you posted? Can I just take the newest one? Will I have root once I've installed this kernel? I'm asking because in the FAQ (semaphore.gr/faq) it says it requires another app (Superuser) in order to have root?

its not the newest. you should have thick repartition and 512 pit here. But if the phone boots up i think its ok. only kernel flash its important not to thick repartition.
its best to use this kernel http://download.chainfire.eu/124/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip
I tried flashing CM9 again with the Semapore kernel I had installed first. It seemed to work, however, after booting into CM9, a screen appeared that said something like "Device encryption failed" and I could not get into the OS. Any idea what that could have been?
I'll give it another try anyway, this time with repartitioning and PIT when flashing the stock ROM and with the other kernel you suggested.
Slightly off topic, but what's with this obsession about 3 file roms that's been going around for a long time? I have yet to see any evidence to support the belief that 3 files rom is someone better than single file rom.
@OP: Try flashing CM7 first. See if that works. Then flash CM9.
So what's the difference between a 3 file ROM and a single file ROM?
I've tried again with PIT + repartition, the CF kernel and CM9. However, the whole thing ended in a bootlop (Samsung Galaxy S I9000 foloowed by CM screen).
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong...
I'll try CM7 next...
edit: Something else I noticed. When I connect my phone as mass storage, the internal SD card still contains a bunch of files/folders that belong to apps from my original installation. Shouldn't these be deleted when I did the data/factory reset?
edit2: According to the CM7 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946), "you're not able to flash any kernel or run any filesystem you want". So which kernel can I use?

Hi,
I'll get 3 weeks ago SGS in a bottloop after flashing CM9 build11 (teamhacksung's) from latest CM7.
I went mad four about few hours, afterthat I decided to reflash stock 2.3.6 (JVX_JV3_JVT.tar).
After flashing with Odin, I end-up with in DBDATA error after rebooting..
So I flashed dbdata.rfs.tar and I've got original 2.3.6 working.
So:
-I've rooted my device again (CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar)
-Installed ROM manager
-Rebooted into recovery
-Flashed ICS port latest builds + GApps + face unlock (and wiped ALL).
No my device is working with ICS,
hope this will help you guys on flashing ICS and don't waste time.
Cheers
Thanks. I've tried your approach, but I'm only getting the "encryption unsuccessful" screen after entering my PIN. It says something like the encryption was lost and can't be completed and that therefore, the data on the phone is not accessible.
In the "Known issues" list in the CM9 thread it says
Phone unnecessarily gets data connection on device encryption password enter screen.

One question, do you have your SD Card in your phone when you are going through the install process? If so, take that out before flashing anything. It has been the cause of problems for a lot of people coming to CM9.
Hi, thanks for your replies.
I seem to have solved the issue. When the "device encryption unsuccessful" screen appeared, I booted to recovery using the power button (a menu will appear letting you choose between shut down, restart or recovery) and came into CWM. There, I wiped everything (i.e. factory, cache and dalvik or whatever its called) and rebooted. I could then start the OS without any further problems (until now).
I also noticed that now my internal SD card is actually "clean" again, i.e. it only contains the folders and files that are there when you get your phone new. This wasn't the case when I performed a wipe BEFORE flashing CM9.
I'm using the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar kernel you suggested, maybe that was the problem (I can't recall being able to boot into recovery the first time the "device encryption unsuccessful" screen appeared).
@ryanmat Yes, I did have my external SD card in the phone during the installation process, but thanks for your suggestions.
edit: I will report back if everything goes smooth for a few days.
ok, let me understand...
now you got CWM working and you've got CM9 after wipe all with rooted kernel I suggest you?
Exactly. Let me write down the individual steps I finally performed to get CM9 running.
1) Get Odin and PIT files -> http://www.multiupload.com/51MTA5K1H7
2) Boot phone to download mode
3) Start Odin on computer
4) Connect phone to computer (USB)
5) Flash stock ROM -> http://www.multiupload.com/PKVWPJJZMO (check repartition, put in the 512 PIT file and select the PDA, PHONE and CSC files from the stock ROM, then hit start)
6) Disconnect phone from computer
7) Restart Odin on computer
8) Boot phone to download mode
9) Connect phone to computer (USB)
10) Flash the CF kernel for root access -> http://www.filesonic.ch/file/2356034801 (don't check repartition, no PIT file, select the downloaded tar file as PDA, then hit start)
11) Boot the phone to the stock ROM. After the kernel was flashed, you should have CWM installed. Place the CM9 tar, as well as the gapps, gappsfix and faceunlock tars in your internal SD card. Start CWM and boot into recovery from there.
12) In CWM recovery, select install zip from SD card and select the CM9 ROM. After the installation, my phone automatically rebooted, booted CM9 and got into the "encryption unsuccessful" screen.
13) Hold the power button, select reboot and then select recovery to get back into CWM recovery.
14) Perform factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe (found under advanced).
15) Select reboot in CWM recovery, you should now be able to boot into CM9.
16) Reboot into CWM again and install gapps, gappsfix and faceunlock if desired.
I don't know if all of these steps are required or if they must be performed in this exact order. However, it worked for me (CM9 build 12).
and now build 13 is out...!!!
Ok
Please forgive me I have spent up to 7 hours today searching and trying but to no luck.
So I didnt realise what i was doing and Semi Bricked my Phone. I edited build.prop and saved it in MyExplorer(name?) to try and turn off the camera sounds and when I rebooted, it just gets stuck on the galaxy S 2 screen, boot loop.
I'm on SGSII (Australia) Stock Vodafone's ICS 4.0.3 Rooted.
I have CWM installed but tried a few things:
- I can get into Download MOde (no idea what to do here)
- I can get into CWM mode 5.0.2.7 Recovery mode but cant do anything still.
- I tried various Edify script builders to try and put the original build.prop back in but get multiple Status 0 errors whenever I try update.zip from the SD card.
- I tried rebuilding the backup on there and changing the build.prop file on there and trying to restore but MD5 check fails. Even tried rebuilding the MD5 file with the modified files and still no luck. MD5 files fails.
Would anyone have any suggestions and how to resolve this without a flash or wipe? I didnt back recent backup and will lose everything.
I am coming to a point where I really am wanting to back to Apple
There are 2 build.props attached. One is the bad one that stopped me from booting up and I found another one that was named .bak (extension taken off) I found in the same directory (/SYSTEM)
If anyone can help me build an update.zip to push in via CVM I would greatly be in your debt (I tried for 4 hours with no luck)
If you have recovery and download mode yet nothing is lost.
In first, do saved your apps ?
If you had saved them or if it doesn't matter to you, reflash a rom via recovery
LINK HERE:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2773/cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip
Flash it GoogleApps folder
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
The rom that I attached to the reply is a CM9 ICS version, it's quitly stable and we can have some settings on it.
If it doesn't work reflash with Odin (it's with software who use the Download Mode)
http://hotfile.com/dl/149514867/aea2f22/I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip.html
Instructions
-Unzip the Rom Folder ( I9100XXLPQ..........)
-Open the included Odin
-Put your phone on Download Mode
-Click PDA and select I9100_CODE_I9100XXKP*_CL*_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
-Click PHONE and select MODEM_I9100XX*_REV_02_CL*.tar.md5
-Click CSC and GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXA*.tar.md5
-Click Start and don't touch anything still the colored case become green
-And now your phone resurrects
Reply me of results
thanks for your reply
unfortunately i didnt save my apps and havent got backups of my data either
i cant reach the file via ADB either, when i run ADB (have KIES installed and worked before) - adb devices.
nothing shows up when the phone is stuck on "Samsung GS2" screen.
do you have any recommendations around keeping my data there?
If you find the exact same software your on now to download you could try flashing that in cwm without wipes I think that would work i think it replaces all system stuff so it will work, worth a try

what if i just want to flash build.prop via update.zip?
i tried so many methods but it always fails. is anyone able to create a update.zip for me?
i used a GUI script creator to try and update it via CWM recovery mode but it doesnt seem to like it.
If i turn off signature verification, it gives me a (status 0) error saying : E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
and if i turn on verification toggle, it says E: signature verification failed
can anyone help?

i know there are 2 types of ROMS right? the nonwipes and wipes. i really dont want the wipe versions.
the one i downloaded is 1G which i'd imagine is the wipe version if i were to upgrade via odin?

Can you mount any sd on your pc, because you can the recovery mount trick to access to your data.
When you are in the recovery menu, go to mount and storage and click on "mount usb storage" and the internal and external sd will appear on your pc.
you are posting in galaxy s thread....repost in galaxy s2 thread
I don't think so but then again I don't own a s2 but you can select advanced restore: restore data then flash a compatible ROM, then restore the data if you worried but as I said before flashing the same ROM shouldn't remove user data

Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.

I used CWM to flash AOSP 4.1.2. It seemed to work fine for a day or two, but then it needed charging (as normal). I let it charge over night and in the morning it had less battery. I figured the charger or cable were flaky so I tried another set on another outlet and same thing. Then it finally ran out of battery. I let it charge again over night and when I tried to turn it on it was really slow. The boot animation was only 1 frame every couple seconds. It would eventually boot all the way up, but it was still REALLY slow. So I went into CWM and reflashed the same ROM. Then I got a boot loop of the boot animation. I couldn't get into CWM any more, so then I went into download mode and flashed the official firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

How far into the boot sequence does it get?

Now when I turn it on it just says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can flash again with ODIN and it will get to the Samsung boot animation and just pulse SAMSUNG.

Are you able to get into recovery?
If so, what recovery do you have (Stock vs CWM)?

If I hold power and volume down I can get into download mode or Samsung recovery, not CWM, and power with volume up doesn't do anything.

Have you tried seeing what is causing the boot-loop using adb?

I don't know anything about adb and I'm not sure what I would be looking for. Is there a tutorial I can follow somewhere?
Thanks for any help!
This worked for me with similar problem
Hi Spazlon,
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!
Thanks to kallt_kaffe and all the others who helped me through their various posts (hope that coffee isn't getting too cold again), as well as the following web sites that indirectly helped me resolve this issue googleymind.com/2011/11/guide-so-you-think-you-bricked-your.html#.UJUNN8XAd8G and galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
Good luck.
Thanks! I'll give this a try when I get home. I'll let you know how it works out.
Don't ever try to 'repartion unless you really know what you're doing. You're soft bricked. Repartion and you'll hard brick.
I'd go back and get hc from sammobile and flash that with Odin. Ics has had some problems.

Agreed - my procedure avoids manual repartitioning - I tried lots of other procedures but none worked. I think my data partition had become corrupt because I kept getting error messages. My first try was to recover with my cwm recovery file I made originally but I kept getting back to the boot loop .

Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.

After bootloop just go to recrovery mode then factory riset ... its 100% WORK

I followed the steps outlined by mobjunky and was able to get an official Honeycomb ROM installed, boot the official and copy my custom ROM and CWM 6.0.0.8 on it. Then install CWM 5.4.0.4 followed by 6.0.0.8.
Now my problem is that any custom ROM I put on there just does a boot screen loop. I tried CM10 and the latest AOSP. To install the ROMs I just booted into CWM, installed the ROM from zip, then installed the gapps. I've tried with and without formatting the cache, user data, and Dalkiv, same results.
What am I doing wrong? I have loaded tons of ROMs on this before without any issues, then all of a sudden I can't get anything except official loaded.

did a format /system before installing the custom roms? This is an important step.

This fixed it. Never had to do it with any of my other devices. CM10 loaded quickly after that. Loving how fast JB is!
Thanks!
