[Q] what's last firmware?

Hello, I'm kinda new to the Galaxy Tab. Just a quick question: what's last firmware release for the Tab? I've actually installed JM6 from samfirmware.
Tux in advance for your answers.

There are lots of firmware ROMs on this site.
I am currently using the Overcome kernel and v1.4.0 ROM which was only released in the last couple of days. You can check itout here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
All the best.

for official firmware http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm have a look, but carefully because has a protected bootloader !

Thank you to both of you for the tips.
I've been thinking about giving Overcome a try, perhaps the time has come.
Cheers,
William

Sorry, but I can hardly get what you mean. There is a good howto about installing Overcome linked in the 1st post of the thread. I just used that one and everything worked as a charm.

Flashing to an unoffical firmware from an official one will wipe ALL your data. Back up what you need. You're not losing anything useful.
As suggested by maddler, read the HOWTO that is linked from in the 1st post of the Overcome thread and it'll tell you what you need. It helps to read the instructions rather than just looking for download links.

Upgrading VZW tab

I have the SCH-I800 or verizons galaxy tab and am looking to upgrade it some. It currently has galaxy cubed and I wanted to go to CyanogenMod9 or ICS. I tried going to CyanogenMod9 from clockwork but it aborts with error code 7. So does anyone have some recommendations as to what I should upgrade 2 and a rather noobish guide on how to do it?
Thanks

I recently purchased the same VZW tab (part of $49 close-out sale) and have been unable to find definitive instructions for rooting the device. Would you mind sharing a link that describes the steps?
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I have been reading your threads on rooting the original verizon galaxy tab and everything makes sense through root. In one of your posts you say,
"After rooting install clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 ( not sure abt this it can be 5.0.7.2) with heimdall .
Than u can install ics from first link provided "
I am very new at flashing roms, so this portion of your phrase is not clear to me. Before I root, I want to have decent confidence I can get ICS onto my tab. Have downloaded the daily driver you noted (Build 10 and the patch) into folders to flash....None of the files in each look like what was inside the Vanilla folder. ANy additional advice or steps you can provide post root would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance. Will post this on the thread as well in case others are in the same boat.

gonna try it tonight
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585619
from what i read this is suppose to work the same way on the vzw tab. im gonna try tonight and report back.
as per cm9 instructions the rom is suppose to be flashed thru cwm not thru heimdall.... but first you have to upgrade cmw to the 5.. one
*edit*
i followed this method. instead. method above made me soft brick my tab. post #563 has the instructions.... you must use winzip to unzip cmw recovery file

I had a lot of problems at first too.
The first step you need to do root it with super one click root.
Do a search in the forums. There are several tutorials that explain how to use it. It's really simple.
Using that programs getting the phone to root was easy. The problem I had was the flashing part and getting Odin to work for the first time to install clock work recovery.

Do you mind providing a link? I really need to know the step-by-step procedure and see the reliabilty.

1) download the latest 2.3.6 JW4 firmware (for GT-I9000) from sammobile.com. Also download ODIN and flashing guide.
2) For CF-root , following the instruction on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108.
If you don't want to upgrade to 2.36 then just follow link in the second step . That should have the instructions and the download link for your GB rom. Ensure that you pick the right tar file corresponding to your firmware version.

I am sorry but i am a little dumb and slow -.- I not quite get thr threadnposted by Chainfire, in which the link you provided. I am using a gingerbread 2.3.3 . So what am I supposed to do? Cos they say smth like CF-root Gingerbread (2.4 XXjvk or newer) . What does this actually means? And after that i couldn't get the whole chunk.

[Q] How do I downgrade from ICS to 2.3.6?

Please, help me. I'm not happy with ICS CM9. I ofen lose signal and my camera is not working. I would like to downgrade to stock 2.3.6.
Can anyone give me instructions on how to do this?
I've download the official 2.3.6 from sammobile. The downloaded archive has two files in it:
P1000BOJU3_P1000CROJU1_P1000BOJP1_HOME.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll
Do I need other files? Is there a guide on how to do this?
Thanks a lot, cheers.

You do need the pit file to repartition.
Follow my signature for overcome method. Download the guide and the gb stock safe v5.
Unpack it. Read guide from page 7.
Flash it with Odin. Then when completed you can flash your official one on top of that, this time only selecting one file, the tar.md5.
