You need to find the stock rom files and run them through Heidmall, no big deal as long as you can find the stock rom files.

I did not... in my case, my TAB is not branded, so I used JMI stock from the above link. I unzip the file and the results file I just added in Odin together with PIT file and that's all. System reverting to stock, also CWM was replace d with stock recovery.
there is a video tutorial posted on Youtube (is for T-mobile, but was the same procedure for me). hope it helps!

Need Help "Stuck on bootup
can Someone help me please, I have rooted Galaxy tab and today I tried to flash Arabic Rom. It did load every thing and Odin said Pass and it was green. But since then I only can get to "GalaxyTab Samsung" boot screen. doesnt let me to go to recovery mode. only can turn it off and can also go to Download and connect to PC.
I did try to flash it many time. but its the same after finishing flash, it only goes to first boot screen and stuck

You most likely have an ext4 rom and rfs kernel, or vise versa.
If it's stock kernel, than you have an ext4 rom most likely.
My best guess is you need to convert your kernel to ext4.

[Question] Help needed and advice regarding upgrading my firmware please.

Hi everyone, I am brand new sgs owner and first time smart phone user and I upgraded my phones firmware on kies to 2.3.3 / baseband xxjvo / build number gingerbread.xwjvh
I been talking to a few people that have got 2.3.4 and cyanogen mod 7. And I really want to get one of them because my battery life is pathetic on 2.3.3
I have an idea how to do it (I have watched alot of tutorials) but what is confusing me is all the different downloads like cwm and speed mod, kernals, ROMS. All these terms are driving me mad as I dont know if I need to flash this stuff first to upgrade the firmware.
I have been told I may or may not need to root my phone to make it all work because of the current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3?? So what do i do?
Can I just flash a new firmware on via odin? or do i need to flash diff kernals or clockwork mod or speed mod what ever they are to make it work properly.
Im sure its all easy enough once its understood but I cant find basic explanations for all these terms.
I really dont want to mess up my phone but i know I can get this done once i know how.
So could someone that knows please tell me once off, what do I have to do to upgrade from gingerbread 2.3.3 xxjvo to something better like cm7 or 2.3.4.
Do I need to root first? install CWM or speed mod or whatever.
Also what is CWM and speed mod. are the roots?
Sorry for not knowing anything as i said its my first smart phone and I want to get to know how to use it to its full extent
Will greatly appreciate any advice/ help given.
If some ones going to help me could they post the links to the downloads that i will need.
Thanks very much

1.its simple root ur fone first via odin and then flash the voodoo/fugumod lagfix(incase ur experience any lag)

Thanks for the reply but what is rom mgr? and must i pay for it if its premium
And what is the download for the correct root I have seen a thread by chainfire with hundreds of root downloads but I dont know what one to use.
Is a ROM the same thing as a firmware?

so I dont need to use odin at all??
Do I still need to root the phone before I can flash cm7 from sd card? Do I put it on internal or external sd card? And If so what root do I use for my particular firmware

Anybody? ? Someone must be able to help me

Here are some posts I think will help u find some answers,
Download mode is HOME BUTTON+VOL DOWN+POWER BUTTON
Recovery mode is HOME BUTTON+ VOL UP+POWER BUTTON
1 Android ROM and rooting dictionary: all the terms explained
2 A link explaining how to flash a custom Rom via Odin and their downloads.
3 Deodexed Stock roms
Hope this helps. By the way all these are custom rom lists and not samsung stock firmware.

Thank you for the reply. Is cm7 a custom Tom?
How safe is it to use a custom rom instead of a Samsung rom.
Can some one tell me is there a particular order I need to follow to upgrade my phones firmware.
Like root then something else followed by the firmware.
Could I upgrade from xxjvo without rooting?
Again sorry all the questions I feel like a dumbass.
Thanks

Double post

Again sorry for being persistent but could someone give be a step by step quire to upgrading my current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3 to something better for battery and better radio signal.
Must the phone be rooted first? Must I install anything else before or after the new firmware
Thanks

Hi, check out samfirmware.com to download stock 2.3.4
I'm on the newest jvr, and my battery is good.
It's also flash manuals there for how to use odin.
thats the safest!
If you want root permission, you can flash cfroot kernel after the rom.
Edit: i'm on the oldest 2.3.4 jvr, looks like it came a new relese today.

Is a specific ROM needed to run a different firmwares? or vice verse?
If I flashed 2.3.4 does that mean I have a new ROM or new firmware or both?
thanks

Pls do refer my previous post for upgrading to 2.3.4 GB roms (2)
2.3.4 roms are way better for battery. There are some light weight roms with excellent battery life eg SURFACE,Matrux rom, Juwe's Smart Edition(My Pick) etc
You dont need to be rooted to flash a custom rom via ODIN.
CM7 is a custom rom and I would recommend it only if you know what u r doing. Its not very advisable for a noob (imho).
There is insanity cm7 034 with gb boot loaders [ROM] insanity CM 034 [16.08.2011] - Multi DPI But its in heavy dev stage. Pls go through their thread before flashing it.
Here is the EZBOOt link
Install or upgrade at your own risk.

Question for flashing I9001

Hello,
I hope it's not the wrong section, but the others are I9000.
I want to flash an I9001. The phone is on 2.3.3 I though.
I've root the phone, now I can go to 2.3.6 by flashing a rom in recovery or do i need to go to 2.3.6 first?
Greetz,

You need to flash (for example) KQ7 with Odin, this updates the whole base of the rom, most new roms are build on KQ7 base so I think that's the right one for you
btw this is the wrong section, i9000 Q&A is the right section

I think we go for broodrom.
But it's important to get first to 2.3.6 stock? Or can we flash the rom directly by odin?

As an ODIN stock ROM also includes modem binaries that we cannot flash over recovery, it is a good idea to get to the latest stock ROM with ODIN and then start with custom ROMs over FeaMod recovery (it's basically CWM). If you have already the latest stock ROM on your 9001, you can use whatever method you prefer.
I think recovery is quicker and easier to use as you don't need a pc near you.

And which last stock 2.3.6 we can flash the best? We live in Holland..., don't know it is important?

Error while flashing Rom with CWM

hi.
i have an Australian N7000B Note, and it is currently rooted on the latest available android in the country for the phone (2.3.6)
i have superuser and CWM installed.
i can boot into CWM and navigate with no worries, but whenever i try to install any custom rom, regardless what rom it is, i get the same error.
i really want to get off this crappy rom that Telstra provides with the phone, so any help is greatly appreciated.
many thanks
pic attatched of error.

Use ODIN to flash a stock ICS or GB ROM and then re-root and add cwm and try again
the issue you face is because your version is the GT-N7000B and the build.prop is for the GT-N7000 so its failing because it believes the ROM is for a different device.
if the product codes do not match up in the build.prop it will fail - this applies to all devices and all ROMs.
you could also open the .zip and find the build.prop and change all of them, But its a pain in the ass !

I've looked everywhere and everywhere for a ICS or GB rom to flash onto the phone using Odin but all of them are for use with CWM, which doesn't work

Because these are for the N7000 if i flash a stock ICS rom on my N7000B what will happen?

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8
Put your details in there and it will find you a stock ROM. Ive seen threads where N7000B users have flashed N7000 ROMs without any issues.
EDIT: You CAN use any GT-N7000 firmware !

Awesome! I am downloading the Gingerbread Australian Rom as we speak for the N7000. if i flash it with odin, root it, and then install CWM would it work with installing custom roms such as paranoid android etc?

Yes because the Stock firmware will remove the 'B' and you will have no more install errors
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter !! and make a nandroid before commencing.

Well, i have a nandroid backup of the current firmware, i made it just after i rooted it.
so, i will flash it with Odin on PC correct? does it require i wipe everything off the phone?
sorry for the questions i am a noob lol

you can wipe before or after it makes no difference so long as your on GB.
Dont ever wipe on ICS unless your on a safe kernel.
But do do a wipe as it will start you off on a fresh clean install

I'm successfully on a N7000 Rom, it unrooted my phone is there a way to root it again?

flash the CWM.zip in recovery and then the SU package
or flash a rooted kernel such as speedmod

BASEBAND VERSION S5830XWKP7
KERNEL VERSION [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER GINGERBREAD.XWKPO
can somebody tell me if this is all stock? not sure about kernal, I want to take phone back to shop for repair. Any help very appreciated

If you flashed via ODIN then yes it's stock.
Boot into recovery check you have the stock recovery too.

Hi!. I recently flashed my froyo Ace to LeWa ROM but since I need to revert back and install the stock ROM in GB.Can anyone redirect me to the appropriate post please. Didn't do backup for original rom as I thought froyo is much outdated for a armv9. Thanks in advance.
