[Q] How to flash a kernel ?

I have bought a SGT and i need to know...
first, i have to get root, right ?
then the recovery then the kernel ?
cant figure out how to get de recovery working without flashing a new kernel, cause the recovery its on the new kernel.
The kernel that i have downloaded its a .tar file
The only thing that i dont know its how to flash a kernel.
Cause my old phone Xperia X10 mini has a locked Bootloader.... the rest it's easy...but i dont know how to flash the kernel, please somebody teach me how... can't find the answer u.u
Sent for my GT-P1000L using my girlfriend's PC :3

You dont HAVE to get root? But if you want mods ir get functionality from some apps then you need to root.
What kernel did you download? Most kernels come with a guide for instance CF kernel has unstructions in the thread. But Generally kernels are flashed via ODIN through the PDA section. Make sure reparrtition is UNCHECKED. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE before you flash.

Wow, that was quick !
I'm trying to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
And... first i need to flash the kernel.
I have a stock ROM. I plug my tab to usb (tab on), open ODIN and flash the kernel ?
WTH is download mode ?!
when i'm able to flash the kernel, i kown how to flash the rest... but til the moment, im not able to flash the kernel xd
Thanks for your quick reply

Download mode is a maintenance mode that allow you to flash kernels rom radios etc via odin or otherwise. If you are on stock ROM you can go to download mode by switching your tab off and then hold down the volume down rocker with power button. If successful a yellow android robot holding a shovel will appear with warning do not switch off target.
Before flashing or connecting to ODIN. Make sure tab is identified in computer by ODIN. You get a yellow box with COM#
To flash a kernel. Put your tab into download mode. Connect your tab to pc (make sure drivers are installed before this step). Fire up ODIN and flash by selecting tar file in PDA section. Make sure Repartition is UNCHECKED AND DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
Here is a link with detailed instructions. Its for another kernel but the guidelines are the same and should work for your kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734

Wow
I get DM, but...
The first attemp failed... it says Write operaton failed :c
And my second attemp its stuck on "Setup Cpnection"
i'm hopeless right now .____.
Anyhow, thanks for your very clever answer.
Thanks a lot !

Reinstall samsung drivers, make sure you run ODIN as adminstrator or use another computer (dont ask it worked for many users encountering this error.
I suggest you hold off flashing anything. Read around till you have enough knowledge and confidence to do so. Thats what I did. Good Luck!

Disconected, reboot, and now gets this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088164
Damn u.u

Thats an alternative download mode. Flash the stock rom via odin (the device should still be detectable).

In fact, it is detectable
But i cant find a stock rom that works on my P1000L T-T

Contact the dev of your kernel. Search around this forum and you will find what you are looking for.

Gotcha !
Downloading (...)
Then flash it with re-partition too ?

THANKS !
OK... my nightmare its finished.
But, already cant install the custom kernel haha, it fails in the end of the process.
Anyhow, thanks a lot for your wisdom, my friend

I just want to add to all noobs (myself included) who are thinking about installing custom ROM's/kernel's for the first time, that they look/read closely at the overcome custom ROM -thread.
There is a extremely detailed guide to installing the custom ROM (thanks to pittbull). No need to understand what you are doing :-D , you just have to follow the instructions given. That's how I did it.

Its not only for noobs. I had to consult it to fix a few issues myself. Really great guide.

How about using CWM?
Do I put the update.zip in my sd card, use CWM and reboot into recovery and proceed?

Can i tell you the truth ?
When i noticed that overcome was only for p1000 -reading the guide- just stop the reading...

Oops, sorry. You are right. Didn't notice that one.
But AFAIK the process would be the same, you just gonna have to use different files(ROM) accordingly, for your device. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong...

[Q] SGS debrand

Hey guys.
Just bought a brand new SGS on Portugal Vodafone last week. On first day, and after read some hours here in the foruns i already rooted it and unlocked it ^^
Now a question arrises, debrand the bastard!!! i hate the Vodafone animation on the start after the first boot logo that says Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000, hate the vodafone bloatware that fuls the screens, and sincerely dont like the lots of Samgung App that sneeks around every corner of the phone.
Already flashed and debranded other phones so im not really a BIG noob on the thing, but im a really NOOB on Samsung phones. To be honest im scared with all the procedures that exists... Already backed up EFS folder for starting. attached you can find 2 screenshots i taked of the version and about screens
I can enter recovery and download modes and already noticed i cant install Clockwork Recovery ( is it the best here for the SGS, or stock one is suficient? ) because im at 3e version of android recovery and not 2e. id love to try the ROM MANAGER app...
So as im at 2.3.3 i guess i'll wait for a custom ICS, but i really would like to get ride of this bloatware, stock or custom ( i like cyanogen roms )... is there a soul that is willing to help me?
thanks in advance
Nuno

Hey,
seems you want try ICS rom. Okay here ya go:
1. First you want rooted ROM with CWM installed. Easiest way to do this is flashing a "base
ROM" like this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/JVU/JVU-RE.zip/download
(Thanks Darky and Ficeto, http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-jvu-re-gt-i9000.6558/)
2. Extract the files, you should have: Odin 1.3, .pit file and PDA.tar
3. Now open Odin, set .pit file
-tick repartition
-set PDA.tar into "PDA"
-put your phone to "Download Mode"
-make sure all is okay and your phone is detected by Odin (if isnt't, you have to install SGS drivers to your PC)
-click start
4. When flashed, wait until your phone reboots. (nice sound fx, eh?)
5. Now your phone is rooted and has CWM recovery.
6. Now download Teamhacksung's CM9 ICS .zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593
-download also Google apps
7. Put your phone to PC and copy these files to your phone internal sdcard.
8. Go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition
-then install .zip from sdcard
-choose your zip
-flash
-when flashed, flash Google apps
-wipe data&cache again, or calendar sync wont work
9. If it goes to bootloop (wont pass samsung galaxy bootlogo) flash again.
If Google sync won't work, you have to install Google apps fixer from CM9 thread.
Hope I helped, ask if you didn't understand something=)
You are doing this at your own risk

[Q] Update My Galaxy Tab 7' P1000 - ICS

I already rooted with using superoneclick, and i wanna know how to install ICS on my tab please help me. (super user it there)
Model Number
GT-P1000
Firmware Version
2.3.3
Baseband Version
P1000XXJPZ
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
[email protected]#2
Build Number

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO UPDATE.

Go to http://www.teamovercome.net
Just in case you don't know, overcome is Gingerbread.
You only want overcome kernel as stepping stone so you have a cwm recovery.
Once you have cwm recovery, you can flash anything, including ics.
Since you are already on JQ1, I don't think you need to follow the whole flashing their stock safe rom, since it is also a JQ1.
just grab the overcome kernel 4.0 tar, and also download ics cm9 or aokp ( your pick, go thier individual thread and read up) and latest gapps, put them on sdcard.
I think you do factory reset first, then flash overcome kernel using Odin.
Then boot into cwm recovery by pressing volume up and power on at the same time.
From recovery flash ics and then flash gapps.

Actually more choices of rom now, SGT7 ICS by cdesai (also recommended) and Gummy (not recommended for now seems very buggy, although it has better theme).
After following priyana's instruction,
Remember, as mentioned in each instruction on the perspective rom's thread,
You will get a strange 'recovery loop' as if it's failing to install. Just go back to recovery mode (power + volume up)
and reflash the ICS-ROM .zip file.
Welcome to the world of ICS.

thank you guys very much for the information. i am a noob and i really can't see anything how to do this.. please tell me step by step how to do that if so that will be very easy me to do.. i don't know anything about rooting but i already rooted it with superoneclick root and super user is there too i don;'t know what to do with it. please help me.

First, thank you for reading this. I had rooted & unlocked my at&t GT-P1000 using custom ROM 4.1.0 from teamovercom in January, 2012. Today, I like to something new and curiousity that can I install ICS custom ROM. But I am still not confident by reading from here: " http://rootzwiki.com/topic/22246-ro...ung-galaxy-tab-p1000ln-gsm-build-38-11062012/ " (please no quote). Now, I'm asking for your generousity and patient to show me what other steps I need to do to flash ICS custom ROM after follow teamovercome user guide, and my tab still able to make/receive call and I have now, thanks again. Pleae, please, and please reply to " [email protected] ".
Best regard,
Van.

you already have Overcome, so it is dead simple
- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.
- boot to download mode
- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar
- once flashed the tab reboots.
- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off
- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )
- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)
- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.
- force reboot to recovery again
- flash ICS again
- immediate after complete, flash gapps
- reboot
To go back to GB you need to do the Odin restock all over again though.

[Q] Phone boots, blank screen, lights on button [SOLVED]

So I tried updating this device to GB - model is P1000N (too bad I only realized this on my edit of this post, I I always thought what I have is without the N), I followed this YT guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtWdNqwAETs, all went well until when I tried to reboot my device.
Procedure (ODIN !):
- Press the thanks button and/or donate - DONE
- Download and extract the firmware zip - DONE
- Download and extract the attached gt-p1000_mr_PIT.zip - DONE
- Download and extract the attached dbdata.zip - DONE
- Flash the firmware tar as PDA, repartition enabled, use the attached PIT - DONE
- After flash immediately boot into download mode again - STUCK HERE, DEVICE BOOT W/ SOUND, LIGHTS ON, BLANK SCREEN
- Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition)
- After flash immediately boot into recovery mode
- Wipe cache
- Wipe data / factory reset

What do I do?

Use overcome method instead
Go to overcome site
http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.

Problem is Vol Down + Power won't respond, and so is Vol Up + Power. :/

make sure it is fully charged.
Power down.
Launch Odin.
Cable connected.
Vol-down + power.
If odin suddenly see your device, flash away.

Hope it will. Search here but seems almost all threads got no fix. :/
Damn why didn't I see that method above before.
Sent from my HTC Desire S

Overcome method is quoted hundreds of time in this forum. Most reliable method to "restock" and install CWM recovery for P1000 device

I'm downloading the GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip now. It sucks to have slow internet.
By the way, do I have to flash that Modem file too? I can see that it's a zip file but on the screenshot the only thing he flash is the "modem.bin", extracting the modem zip has some META-INF and updates folder.
Lastly, regarding "gt-p1000_mr.pit" - is this common file? I have downloaded this already earlier in the separate tutorial.

Okay, so I downloaded the zip file.. followed the instruction here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34690776/The Installation Guide The Overcome Experience.png and it's a success based on my attached screenshot but after completing step 5 I am stuck to here coz step 6 says that tab should reboot by itself but mine doesn't. It looks like it reboot but blank screen and the lights are on. It stays that way. No reboot. No image like that on step 6. :/
Even after disconnecting the device and turning it on it stays on blank screen w/ the lights on.
Someone can help me, please?

No idea who no reboot.
But try again the same thing.
Power down.
Vol down + power
flash again.

I'm no expert but does tabs also involve bootloader stuff? Like in HTC devices we have to unlock bootloader before we can root and change rom and stuff?

it does, the Overcome guide mention that too.
Can you find an official froyo for your device?

No, I did not check my device info before flashing, I thought it will go smooth. :/
Is official FROYO rom's available here? Would it help if I flash it?

In sammobile firmware.
The locked boot loader should allow you to flash back the same firmware, I assume.

Okay I will check it out.
By the way, would it be possible that the cause of this is because I did not root first?

Sucks most of the files : This file does not exist, the access to the following file is limited or it has been removed due to infringement of copyright.

No. When you flash with Odin, root is not required.

From the 1st post I never see you mention which gtab P1 variant you have, you only give the link from youtube that show how to upgrade gtab p1000 7 to gb.
so, can you specify which gtab p1 variant do you have?? so we can help you to unbrick your tab in the right path.
P1000? P1000L? P1000N? or???

It's P1000N (sh%#%#%t!!! I only know this now! I always thought I have the other model...) This is so careless of me.
I am downloading the Firmware www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=2712 now, should I still use the same PIT mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13682956&postcount=1 when flashing?

[Q] [CWM] Flash galaxy tab

Hello,
i was following the tutorial on cyanogen wiki to flash my galaxy tab (P1000) and install him. But after try install ClockworkMod Recovery the device only can entry on download mode, don't recovery mode and can't boot.
What can i do to solve that ? O already try install anothers cwm but don't work too.

What have you flashed exactly. To flash recovery you need to flash both recovery.bin and zimage.
What model tab do you have? What version of Android is installed on your Tab? And which files have you flashed on your tab? What tool did you use to flash your tab, Odin or heimdall?

Hy glussier, thanks for answer,
i only use the zimage (catch here cmw.22aaf3.com/p1/p1/recovery/cwm-5-p1.tar), where i can find the recovery.bin ?
The model is P1000, the galaxy tab 7' run currently android 2.3.3. To flash i first use the heimdall but don't work, then i use odin, only with it i can complete.
I have copy to internal memory the files of cyanogen and gapps.

Forget the recovery.bin. Follow the steps at the following link exactly as said, and you shouldn't have a problem: http://freedownloadbuzz.org/how-to-flash-clockworkmod-recovery-for-galaxy-tab-p1000/
Heimdall failed because you probably failed to run zadig to install the tab drivers.

Or if you want to consider an alternative that most people use: overcome method.
the links are in my signature.
It is a two step process and will wipe your tab;
Download from the links 3 things:
-Gb-stock-safe-v5
-the guide (PDF)
- overcome kernel tar
Jump to guide page 7
Follow the picture to flash GB-stock-safe rom
after that, follow the picture to flash overcome kernel tar
and you will have CWM recovery

well the best way is what priyana told you, i also faced a problem and the more zimage and all this things made me confused.

The Overcome ROM A (Hopefully!) Comprehensive Guide To Installing
GB-Stock-Safe-v5
Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar
Go in download mode open odin and flash the gb stock file look in the pdf file and do as it shows there, each file on exact the same box i bet you wont fail if you read the pdf.
once you flashed it your device is ready and next thing you can do is to flash again it with kernel v4.0 look again in the pdf guide it will tell you how to do that, there it also says to download a file but i wont recommend that.
once kenerl v4.0 is flashed your phone will reboot and take some time to turn on Dont panic its fine if it take a long.
now if you want to update to 4.1.1 jelly beans
then download the latest version from here - http://get.cm/?device=p1
and you also need google ap store - http://goo.im/gapps
download these files and put it in sd card by mass storage
Simply now reboot it in recovery mode and install zip from sd card (look in the forums how to do that).

Thanks a lot for all answers,
i follow the instructions of oveload, and work
later i follow the instructions of juscallmelarry and of cyanogem tutorial and can install Jelly bean on my galaxy tab.
Thanks again for everyone
