Samsung GT-P1000

Hi everyone
Please i know that somewhere in this web of forums their must be a wise and helpfull way of upgrading the samsung galaxy tap p1000 to either an cynogenmod or to honeycomb/icecreamsandwitch
If look around for a while now and im unable to find any straight forward explanation in doing so
So sorry for asking this question yet again
Does anyone know how to do such upgrade or to explain such process in detail or even direct me to such forum and probably most important if such upgrade is available
I am having issues with my tab,mostly it crashing or sometimes freezes for a while. Bought it about 3months ago with gingerbread preinstalled by samsung
I know that with my htc wildfire by rooting it and installing cynogenmod it helped it not crash and also improved with possibilities and speed
I want to do the same with my gt-p1000 but its still under warranty so want to be sure there is a root and mod upgrade that works so that i wont loose my warranty for incase.
Please if someone could advise
Thanks a lot

AFAIK rooting in any form voids your warranty. Your best bet is to wait until the warranty expires
but IMHO rooting is worth it.
Hope I helped you. If I did,press the thanks button!

Thnx for the reply
I know rooting voids the warranty and totaly agree its well worth it,but my concern is that there are so many treads on how to it for the gt-p1000 but which one of them are solid and will work without defects?
Do you maybe know if there is any tread that explains the process in full?
Thnx again

The best rom that I ever use for my Gtab P1000 is Overcome ROM (latest version is 4.1.0), I'm already try other ROM like MIUI, BOCA, etc but this overcome have 99% stable with no bug. Thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
If you want to unroot just use adb shell or remove su.apk from /system/app folder using root explorer.

Awesome,thnx alot will give it a shot
Is it still on the gingerbread os?
And is there any limitations like things not working (example camera gprs ex?)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Yes,it is on Gingerbread (Overcome 4.1.0 has android 2.3.6 ).Everything is working in this from.don't forget to flash the modem if you use your tab for phone calls,though doing this isn't compulsory
Hit the thanks button if I helped you!!

Which one of the posts in the tread explains the correct way of rooting and installing overcome?
Sorry im a noob at this and reading through the forum is a bit confusing
Just wish someone would post a step by step process and if needed additional flashes required
Thnx again for your support
Looking forward to upgrading my tab

Back in the day I rooted my GT-P1000 with super one click, this was like 1 year and a half ago.
As for the best ROM to use, personally I am using CM9 at the moment which is ICS based. But it is not very newbie friendly atm and has a lot of bugs still being worked on (camera does not work for example).
I would recommend BOCA RC1, it's fast and stable and based on gingerbread CM7. Gives a lot of customizations and is tablet oriented.
But if you want to keep the look and feel of stock ROM, Overcome is the best bet.
Boca RC1
Overcome
Also, for full instructions on how to install Overcome on your GT-P1000 check here.

Hi.
I'm looking to update my P1000. It already has an older version of Overcome which has always worked for me. I checked out the link. The instructions link is broken. Can anyone point me to upgrade instruction using CWM?

Pretty sure you can do this as it uses cwm to flash. You will have to wipe though so you could just go direct to Sapir. It has the odd bug but is generally pretty good.

Thanks. I was finally able to find all the files for Overcome 4.1.0 including the instructions on another thread. I haven't proceeded yet. Still reading and researching as I do not find them very clear. My fault as I don't have much experience with android. Hoping I can upgrade to 4.1.0 with only CWM but still not sure.

Leaked ICS Roms Kernal issues

To my understanding from reading around the forum regarding the potential hard brick issues dealing with the leaked ics roms, as long as you don't flash or wipe or restore etc using recovery you won't have to worry about your device being bricked? Is this the message that is being delivered or am I off basis? I'm currently using Criskelo's ICS rom and I haven't flashed any other rom since flashing this rom and don't intend on flashing anything else until the OFFICIAL ICS is released. Can someone provide me with a little more detailed insights, please!

Read the stickied public announcement and you'll get all your answers..

Common man, just give the damn answer. You posted twice saying read a thread when you have just one post with a good response. You do realise some people may not fully understand it. I have read that thread more than twice and still don't fully know the whole situation. If you know PLS give the answer, it will actually help many people.
I'm also in the same situation as OP, if anybody can give us an answer that would be nice.
Also I read entropy kernel is safe with most ICS leak, is this true? If so flashing entropy kernel will make leaked ICS safe?

You don't understand, eh?
Entropy:
"Kernels that have been confirmed safe:
All known Gingerbread kernels for the Galaxy Note and other affected devices listed above
Kernels built from the GT-I9100 Update4 source code release - this includes XplodWILD's CM9 release and my DAFUQ release."
This means that ALL Repack based kernels are unsafe; they can cause hard-bricks. That includes LP1, LP5 and LP6 kerenels. ALL ICS Roms except for official CM9 are unsafe.
Entropy:
If you are running an affected kernel:
STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY. FLASH A SAFE KERNEL USING ODIN/HEIMDALL.
DO NOT wipe in recovery
DO NOT flash anything else in recovery
In general, DO NOT use recovery at all
Which translated means: GTFO straight to GB, but only via PC Odin.
Is it any clearer now?

PEOPLE DON'T EVER FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!!
Your advice will add to the many victims of getting the Super brick bug
Before you advice something (like a full wipe on every flash), PLEASE THINK first before you ever suggesting others to fully wipe their device on every flashing of custom ROMS...

well it's not entirely incorrect.
correct me if im wrong, but the majority of custom roms out there have cap_erase removed which means people can factory reset safely.
the bricks usually occur if people wipe on a stock samsung rom, where cap_erase ISN'T removed.
so if you're on a custom rom, and you flash another custom rom, assuming both roms had cap_erase removed, it shouldn't be a problem right?

You haven't done a lot of reading have you? Look for it in the General section, especially topics for eMMC and 'Entrophy'
Wiping be it on custom or stock doesn't guarantee any safeties at all. even using CMW is a no no. If your custom rom has an infected kernel (that comes with it), fully wiping after flashing your phone ensures you a deadweight one after that.
It only takes one single full wipe to brick your phone, and it takes a load of hell to fix it.

how do you generalize your advice to all the people your giving it? do you ask for their kernel first before telling them to fully wipe their NOTE?
Your playing a russian roulette dude. People would misunderstand your advice generally. There a lot of custom ROMS out there. Most often than not, its carrying an infected kernel. People who just scans and see your advice would tantamount to follow it to a tee (w/o telling you the full details of their kernel) and WHAM!! they get their phone brick!
There are already to many people asking help here... PLEASE don't add it more with your senseless advice!

For someone who just registered this month, you surely got a lot of nerve!.
I've flash a lot of custom roms before you ever had gone here in Xda-dev dude. Don't divert me into clicking on that link.. been there done that. get it?
My advice to you is, before you try advising people for their problems. READ FIRST in all the stories and forum threads on our beloved Note. You will gain infos on what's causing it, and how to resolve and prevent it from ever happening it again.
So tip of advice, don't go all around the forum in advicing people to fully wipe their phone after flashing any roms. STOCK or CUSTOM.
Person's like you are the causes on why there are still people getting the bricks on their phone. Crappy advice and stuff!
Geez!!

I've ended my quest in flashing custom roms already... eversince this brick bug came and wreck some lives off some people.
By the way, always make sure whenever you need to wipe things, it is better you have a safe kernel installed beforehand.
Like I've said getting the Super brick bug is just like playing a russian roulette. You'll never know when and how you got the brick, so take necessary precautions on how to prevent it

Yeah he did wipe it but he was already using a safe kernel. My point is, don't just blurt out to people to wipe anythng without asking them some additional necessary infos. It is okay to wipe and I'm not against that (if your using a safe kernel already). What I am against is the wrong notion in giving advices to WIPE your phone PERIOD.. Without even clarifying other infos at hand.

I'm sorry if I can't answer your cleanote question bud. Like I've said. I stopped changing /flashing custom Roms after the onset of this superbrick bug issue. Im all on stock 4.0.4 firmware now.
Anyway, it's all nice and dandy feeling that everything has been fix already in your end.
Let the good times roll.. :good:
John
Cheers!

I also want to flash cleanote rom and i am currently waiting on an updated version of that rom with the latest notecore kernel. I'm on stock 4.0.4 also and will use the PC Odin method to flash notecore kernel to root and then triangle away for binary reset. Then finally go with mobile Odin/PC Odin to flash the rom. After hours of reading threads, this seems to be a safest way to do it.

So tip of advice, don't go all around the forum in advicing people to fully wipe their phone after flashing any roms. STOCK or CUSTOM.
Person's like you are the causes on why there are still people getting the bricks on their phone. Crappy advice and stuff!
Geez!!

Can the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S be Permanently bricked?

Hello Everyone
I have read quite a bit about flashing but have not tried it yet. I know that the phone can be soft bricked if there is some problem and can be subsequently recovered as well. I also read about something known as nand corruption and I guess that too is recoverable as well.
What I wanted to know was can this phone be permanently bricked and if yes in what cases can it be possible?
I searched google with the same question and found that there can be emmc chip failure but that affects the S2 and Galaxy Note and that too particularly the ICS roms only.
So I wanted to know what is the status of this phone as far as bricking permanently is concerned.
Regards

till what i have experienced so far that it can only be permanently bricked by throwing it on wall
P.s. till now i have flashed thousands of times...

Thanks! These kind of replies are motivating to start experimenting and trying some roms!

i would advice you to read the developer instruction carefully and in any doubt check with experience users/read comment in thread and then only flash anything...

I have expierence with sgs+, sgsII, sg5 (gt-i5500), htc one s & lg optimus x2.. the sgsII didnt worked anymore cuz a friend try'd to flash it but had no knowledge about what he is doing but then i ressurected it and now it works.. i think it is not possible to brick a phone (but i am only sure at samsung smartphones) if you do a mistake there are still ways to ressurect it if you did something wrong.

I was planning to use instructions from the website androidadvices for flashing. It has indepth tutorials. For ex-
http://androidadvices.com/update-galaxy-gt-i9000-stable-jellybean-411-firmware/#.UEe0FSK6Dsk
The tutorial for almost all roms seems to be same!
1.) Update your phone to xxjw4 through odin.
2.) Root your phone.
3.) Apply update via recovery mode.
And if you have to update another rom repeat the procedure above!
But reading few threads on XDA the information here seem very complicated for some roms! :-?

yes... few users are complaining about loosing imei and not able to connect to network... so best practice says always flash JB over ICS and ICS over GB... always flash JB over ICS....
If you need more info or links head to remics-jb thread in development section.
Its a nice rom and i am using since a long time..and you will see again me over there also.

Some Samsung phones can be bricked by flashing. The SGS is not one of them though - it's safe.
Search 'brick bug' or check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693704 for more info on which models can be bricked and how.

You meant always flash JB over gingerbread?
So that basic tutorial would suffice to flash roms?
Sure I would have a look at the remics-jb thread. Its time to do some more research now!

if you flash another phone's rom like i9100 s2 it will be bricked..Hard brick
But this is only happening if i9100 rom file has a pit file
Long story short flash an i9100 rom that has ext4.pit file,phone won't be alive... No download mode no recovery no charging animation...JTAG will be required.

[Q] Root for jellybean, is it worth it?

Hi everyone, I have not been on here for a long time.
been getting bored with my phone lately and decided to come on here and see whats new.
So.... I'm still not rooted and noticed alot of people which are rooted are now using jellybean.
Is it worth me rooting so that i can get the jellybean or just stay on 4.0.4 and wait for it to be released?
Im based in london, UK if that info is needed.
if it's worth the root, any chance someone on here could guide me in the right direction to rooting my galaxy note and then the right direction in getting the jellybean.
the main reason i want to root now, is that im bored with my phone's setup.
I want to have a complete change, different home page, different call setup ect ect.
So... any help would be really appreciated. :good:

Check first link in my sig, hopefully that will be all you need to know. And yes, custom JB roms worth a try, they are great!!

CM10 is not stable enough yet (most JB ROMs have memory leaks and you have to restart your phone nearly every day), so if you need a reliable phone, ie. for work, study, etc, I'd suggest staying on ICS.
Also remember that all these JB ROMs are based on Cyanogenmod and not on Touchwiz, so if you need the Samsung apps (FM Radio, S Note) you will have to look for alternatives.
Other than that, the JB ROMs I tried have been really nice in my experience, Google Now and the offline voice recognition make the other issues really easy to forgive.

Root in general is worth it for a number of reasons, among them CF 3D, Google Now on ICS, etc. etc.
With Google Now available on ICS there is no real reason to jump the gun to JB imo

Check my signature....jellycore worth a try....

+1. If you want to jump ship to JB roms, just be prepared to reflash updated roms once a week (minimum).
Else, stick with ICS roms, and wait until all JB issues been sorted out by the community.

Thanks guys for your input,
I know this is going to sound really cheeky but is there anyone on here that would guide me step by step on getting rooted. I can add you on skype or msn if its easier.
I know there are links ect ect but last time I tried to follow them I messed up my htc phone.
And someone ended up adding me on skype to guide me through it.
I basically want someone who is kind enough to guide me step by step to get my note rooted and then I'll decide afterwards which rom I want to use.
If your happy to help, send me a PM please.

Nobody willing to add me on skype and help me through it? :crying:

jelly bean rocks and rooting is worth to try

Official JB for siii started rolling out in poland today. So by next month most of the siii will get tue update. So i think in november we note users ae expected to get the hands on JB. You can wait till then.

I'd still rather get rooted.
so.... Is there still nobody thats willing to add me on skype and guide me through it?
I'm not stupid, so you wont need to worry about me asking question after question, i'll simply do whatever you tell me to do.
just need links sent to me to whatever it is i need to download ect ect.

first of all bud, you don't need any kind of online tutorials thru skype... tell you what you need to do.. simple tidbits that might get you going to flash your desired JB onto your device...
1.) Search for the most appropriate JB ROM that you like (scan to all the respective JB threads on our beloved Note's forum to choose which one you like best and fits your style).
2.) Once you have the idea on what JB ROM you would like to flash... here's the tricky part... type this on one of your browser's tab.... www.youtube.com.... in the search area field... type 'How to flash 'NAME OF YOUR JB ROM' to galaxy note... I'm sure there are video tutorials made appropriately for the JB ROM of your choice...
Good luck bud... again, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand and know the art of flashing.... it just takes one INITIATIVE and the rest, a bit of luck, a bit of prayer and bit of fate.
You can do it, I know you can!

Hi mate, did you get your rooting issue sorted? If not, the best one I found (and then used!) was Max at rootgalaxynote.com. Open the webpage and there is a tab at the top for Galaxy Note Root. He even puts a video "walk through" on. You can do it without using a PC, merely downloading 3 or 4 zip files then flashing as per his tutorial. It takes minutes and honestly, it really couldn't be simpler.
Good luck, please feel free to message me.

Thanks so much for that link, I had a look through it, and it seems straight forward, the fact i dont even need to use my computer is amazing.
BUT... what is the difference between this root and the other 1 which everyone else has done, using odin?
also, if i use this way, is it easy to install different roms?

Can anyone confirm if I can do this easy root method and then install a rom of my choice? Or is it not as easy as that?
I can definitely manage to follow the steps in the video, just wondered what i'll need to do next to get a rom.

Nobody?

Rooting and flashing ROMs aren't hard. I don't know how you've gotten root, if you havent, then first flash cfroot kernel according to your firmware, once you're rooted, flash a safe kernel first e.g, Hydracore, speedmod, through CMW and from those kernels you can flash ROM of your choice through the recovery.
