[Q] Can I flash recovery and roms from the phone?

Hello everyone. I have a question. Can I flash the recovery image (whether CWM or anything else) and also the Roms from within the phone without using a PC.
The problem is I don't have access to a PC (all my laptop usb connections got fried) and I have an HTC Hero. I just download whatever I want to the SD card and flash it without the need for a PC. I wonder if that is possible?
I got T-mobile Tab a couple of days ago. I rooted it and I got Rom Manager. But after I reboot in recovery, I get the verification error.
So, can I do this without the so-called Odin or Heimdall?
Thanks in advance...

if you got the CWM work on your tab so probably yes u can do so , u just need to download the rom and read the discretion given by the dev and flash it via cwm
but
there is always a need of odin , in case u stuck or something ,
and also its depend about the dev is made it to be flashed by odin or cwm .

Congrats, You've very likely bricked your Tab. You have a wifi only model which has different hardware to the roms here. In future read before you walk.
Enjoy!

does the pc recognise the tab at all? Sadly TheATHEiST is almost certainly correct in saying you've bricked the tab.
He is also correct in saying that you really should have read the instructions. Yes, really. If you reply and say you did follow instructions, please post a link to said instructions.
The roms are for the 3g tabs.
as far as I know, no one has made a custom rom/kernel for the wifi only tab. Its not the same because your wifi tab has different components compared to the 3g tab.

+1 ..
he remind me by someone bricked his tab because he flashed overcome over P1010 and even there is BIG note in overcome says DO NOT FLASH IF YOU P1010 .. and he replied me back , owh really i missed this
to the OP you see like Stoney says , check if your pc can still recognize your tab , if not , congrats you bricked your tab ... the nearest samsung service center will fix it for u hope u under the warranty , if so , u just say ( what is happened to my tab , i slept at night and i left it on the charger , i woke up i found it like this DEAD ) what makes my tab DEAD ? ? with some action acting with drama , u probably will fix it under the warranty ...
NOTE : this is not the right place for posting Question ...
good luck with SAMSUNG and don't forget the much drama u got the much u'll success to convince them
who agree with me , THUMBS UP

No point in crying, I was been blunt with you because you have nobody to blame except yourself.
If you had READ the topic(s) properly you would NOT be in this situation. You have flashed a software to your device that has a different bootloader then yours, hence you've bricked your device.
If your device is new you should take it straight back to the shop and plead dumb, say you put your device on charge and next day it wouldn't turn on properly. Alternatively say you tried to update it via Samsung Kies.
If they refuse to fix for you then you will need to pay for JTAG repair.
Congratulations, you have learned the hard way, next time learn the easy way and read properly.

[Q] Did i brick my phone ?

Hey guys,
i have a big problem with my Samsung GALAXY ACE GT-S5830i.
My screen is always stuck at GALAXY ACE GT-S5830i and it just wont go away, i dont know how to fix it. I am using this phone for 1 week and i already brick it or something.
This is the video i was trying to follow :
/watch?v=PFeXXWM-0Xg
(cant post links yet, just add that after youtube.com/ )
I did all the steps he said (under video are all the steps).
I rooted my phone
I tryed to install ClockWorkMod 5 but i got somekind of error i dont remember
And then i got into CyanogenMod 9 ,it installed all right but then when i restarted my phone whole hell gone wrong...
I can get into recovery mode, i cant get into download mode .....
I really need help with this guys, and yes i know i am stupid but i will never do it again.
Please help

Doesn't looks like its bricked if its showing S5830i on the screen, just a soft brick though.
You need to read more mate, that CM9 rom is for S5830 only, not S5830i.
These are both very different models, dunno why samsung gave them the same name.
There is no custom roms for S5830i yet, and you cannot use any rom built for S5830.
You can just flash a stock firmware via Odin and your phone will be back online.
Here read this tut, specially the Odin part.

Read this too if you mess again ever, just use the S5830i button combo for download mode instead of ace's.

Cheers mate, i will try this and let you know what will happen.
The problem is now my pc dont detect usb cable, so i cant copy files/zip to my sd card, before was all working fine but now i cant enable my usb connection

Mate sorry but i am little noobish for this...
Would you mind if you tell me step by step what to do....i mean i just dont know what to do
All i can say is that since all this mess i cant use (phone-pc usb cable) ...my pc just dont show up memory card.
Please help

You can use a card reader, or any other phone as a card reader.
Steps are clearly given in the tutorial by ickkyy, and further flashguide through odin is there at sammobile.com along with all the files you'll need with Odin.
Stop panicking, just read the tut once, and follow it, you'll recover easy.

Wow its fixed i am so happy thanks mate

Good to know mate :good:
Be careful in the future man, don't flash things not meant for your phone....

Yeah i will not
But are there like any themes or addons or roms for my phone ? Cuz i would really like to change this default one...

Just one rom, its released today by team cooper, check the dev section for retribution rom.

[Q] BootLoop Problem PLEASE HELP! D:

Hey guys, ok so im superrrrrrrr new to this. Iv had an iphone and blackberrry half of my life and im just getting into the android world.
Point of the matter,
i have a galaxy ace, s5830m
just bought it a couple days ago here in venezuela
and everyting was running smooth, i really liked everything
since i sort of know about jailbreaking and all that stuff from having an iphone
i started reading up on how androids worked and managed to root my phone with out a problom
being that im a custom fanatic, i figured i wanted to update my gingerbread os to a ics using a custom rom from
cm9
this is what i did...
I downloaded the zip cm9 file,
loaded it into my sd card
went into recovery mode
and clicked update from sd card (totally forgot to clear cache and wipe/factory reset) as it was stated in the guide i was reading..
Anywhoo.. The instalation of the rom went fine, it said it installed correctly and with no errors
so i rebooted the phone, afterwards as it stated on the guide and boom!
Bootloop...
the phone is stuck on the samsung galaxy ace s5280m screen and wont finish booting up
iv left it like that for more then 30mins and nothing! Iv done several batter pulls and reboots and nothing
i went into recover mode and tried clearing cache and doing the wipe and rebooting again
but nothing! Its still stuck in the loop!
I did some reading and figured id load a stock firmware using odin hoping this would fix the problom
so i downloaded the latest one from my country from sammobile
downloaded the drivers
the cooper_v1.0 file
downloaded odin v4.38
did everything as the guide said but now odin isnt wanting to work,
i opened it as a administrator, i loaded the cooper file,
but when i want to load the single tar.md5 file..(the firmware)
it totally crashes on me, iv tried several times and it always crashes at the same point
iv tried on 3 diffrent computers and iv tried diffrent odim versoins and it always crashes at the same place!
This is when i started to worry, so i downlaoded samsung kies, to see if i can do a firmware update from there thinking itd be more reliable but now my computer doesnt want to reconize my phone
i can enter both download mode and recover mode having only the clear cache/factoryreset/and reboot options available.. Im really freakeddd out being that i just got this phone, and i feel pretty stupid i should have never done anything to the phone...but if anyone could help id really apreciate it!
Im desperate and i dont want to take it anywhere, cause im in venezuela at the moment
and i dont want to end up paying another dude a bunch of money to fix something that cud be fixed with some easy steps.
So any help is great!

I think that:
The s5830M is the same as s5830i
The s5830M is NOT the same as s5830
That might be your problem. I may be wrong but it's worth looking up.
If I'm right you will need to change Cooper file for correct one for your device. Also correct ROM too!
If I'm wrong, then, sorry.
Search more before you take any action. If you can get into download mode it can usually be fixed the way you are doing it but with correct files.

hmm

Ok i can look that up,
i kind have the same feeling,
being that the models are always divided as such..
So your saying (if this is right)
i need to find the Cooper File for s5830i
AND the ROM
and Odin should work after that?
The thing thats worrying me, is that all odin is doing is crashing on me,
but im going to look for another cooper file
being that the rom is especifcally for s5830M already
thanks for your fast response
im going to try this and get back to you...cause i really want my phone back D:

You need odin 1.85 i think, not sure.
And yes, 5830i and 5830m are compatible, but roms for 5830 and 5830L can brick your device.

ok

ok so i did some investigation
after you told me about the models not being the same and ur right
i and m models are the same
and they only work with odin 1.85 as yu just said
and supposedly
only full package roms work not one package roms
and as i kepted reading in a spanish form,
there arent any ICS custom mods availbale for the M series
the only roms they run are the original stock roms.
so i guess i can forget trying to load a custom ICS rom into it
if this all works as the spanish forum explained
ill get back and confirm everything

ok so i have everything ready now,
but now my pc doesnt want to read my phone wile its on download mode
it will only read wile its on boot loop mode
and the only thing that happens on odin
is that it says ADDED!! (wile on boot loop mode)
but it never says my phone is reconized like its suppose to..
and when i click start.. nothing happens..
anyway to get my pc to reconize my phone on download mode?
or am i doing something wrong?

Maybe ask on the 5830i general thread?
I don't have the same phone as you so I don't really know what too suggest besides asking other people with the same phone as you.

Note i9220? N7000?

Hey guys, having some problems. I messed up and bought the note international GT-i9220, I did read another xda forum and do what they said on there and im not sure what it was all about, so now when i turn my phone on it says N7000 but when it loads up and i go to system settings and then hit about phone it still says i9220. Anyways here is the thing, i hate all these Chinese apps and firmware on it. I want to me able to put cm10 on it. Someone please tell me how to do it on this model or send me a link to where i can find out. I have put hours into this and still have came up empty. I was able to root the phone with no problem, but no need a rom. Just not sure if im on N7000 firmware or i9220 because of what i described at the begging of this thread. Someone please help me out.
