I've recently rooted/installed CWM on my Sprint SGT, and I'd like to try out spacemoose's HC build. I've never flashed custom ROMs before, so I've been reading around to try and make sure I understand everything and I don't render my SGT useless.
Will I just download the ROM through her thread and choose "Install .zip from sdcard" in CWM recovery?
Assuming that's correct and that all goes well, how would I revert to stock? Would I do it via a similar process with a stock .zip file? If so, where can I get this file?
Also, it appears that there are only a couple CDMA ROMs out there. It seems that GSM users can use a ROM regardless of TMO/ATT affiliation. Is that the case with CDMA?
Thanks for the help!
The HC of spacemoose is still in the early stages of development-even alpha stage. Definitely not for beginners to try out.

It seems there are two CDMA Roms available. Can to recommend one to get familiar with the process?

I think you are on gingerbread 2.3.3 firmware. NO YOU CANNOT USE recovery to install/flash a new version of the firmware as HC is android 3.0. The install from zip is only used for the same firmware version.

I'm on Froyo 2.2
I installed SpaceMoose's Alpha 2 and then upgraded to Alpha 2.5. If you install a launcher (ADW or VTL) it greatly improves the usability of the Tab.
I will say this, if you need to use it for work or as your only device then I would hold off. I am extremely happy with Alpha 2.5, but there are a few quirks.
Data (3G) does not work yet
Occasionally it will freeze up and require a reboot
Some apps aren't playing nice (personally I haven't been able to get Google Music to sync)
With that said, if you still want to go do it, then here is how I did it on my Verizon Tab (should be similar since they are both CDMA)
Starting from stock, unrooted:
Installed the over the air update EC02 (or you can download it on XDA)
Rooted using SuperOneClickRoot
Installed the VooDoo kernel to get CWM 2.5 (apparently CWM 3.0 has some issues)
Put SpaceMoose's ZIP file on my SD Card
Booted into CWM
Install Zip from SD Card
Choose ZIP
Install
VIOLA!
Not sure on the process to get Sprint Tab back to stock. I used Heimdall and the instructions found on XDA and DroidForums. I did see this thread for Sprint (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009926).
Hope that helps.
I have tried Superoneclick latest version with zergrush. Hangs on step 7. I would like to root my SCH-I800. Anyone shed some some light on this? Even a manual root via adb?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
Will CF-Root work? If which file?
same here: no joy with either latest superoneclick or with the pure zergrush.
vzw may have patched that exploit
:/
I mean I can put it back to stock and not update it. Just seems a lot more stable with 2.3.5. More fluid and faster. I originally had 2.2 and rooted manually. Now seeing new update, I reset to stock and downloaded both updates to 2.3.5. No dice on any root method yet. I see CF-Root as method but our device is considered old by latter means? Also my kernel string only gives "2.6.35.7". Hopefully soon...
If you flash the kernel from my Cubed 3 ROM it will allow you to adb push the root files.

Can/should we flash the recovery as well? Is it possible to flash back to the stock kernel and/or recovery after rooting?
BTW, I really like your ROM, I just prefer to stay a little closer to stock. Thanks a lot for all the help you have provided us VZW Tab owners!
EDIT: I just now saw your rooted stock ROM in the development forum. That is really awesome, thanks! But, if possible, I am still interested in rooting the device without having to reflash the entire ROM and losing data/settings in the process.
Any update on this? Suggestions?
Just need to root, not change the ROM (yet!)
Hi
I have a non branded GT-P1000 Tab. Trying to follow instructions at http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-gt-p1000-android-4-0-4-ics-aokp-rom-97483/ to install AKOP.40 ROM
Need Clockworkmod installed.
Installed Rom Manager then attempted to install Clockworkmod - It asks me to choose my phone type. Closest options are: Galaxy Tab - ATT, Samsung Galaxy Tab - T-Mobile, Samsung galaxy tab - VZW.
What do I install, or is there another version of Clockworkmod for non Branded TAB somewhere?
Thanks ColinK
From Manager is not compatible with P1000
You may brick your device if you force install cwm recovery of different device.
The only method is to flash via Odin, a kernel that contains cwm recovery.
overcome kernel is one of them.
In fact it was recommended in all ICS rom install guide you find here.
Start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27500461
See my reply there.
Forget about reference to AOKP build 38, that was back then.
Download the latest.
Instruction remains the same.

Hi
Thanks for your prompt reply. The instructions for flashing overcome seems to have multiple steps and "IF's", with multiple opportunities to go wrong.
The android authority guide seems straightforward, and I have gone through some of it - except the guide makes no mention of how to get CWM.
Is there a simple way to get the right version of CWM installed, or something else that will do the same steps / functions.
If not, were exactly does the install part start and do I also have to install Odin?
Sorry for so many questions / uncertainty.
ColinK
As I said before.
No, there is only ONE way to get CWM recovery for P1000.
That is to flash a kernel that has CWM Recovery.
Either cf-root kernel or Overcome Kernel or Redpill kernel.
It is dead simple.
Download the tar file
Connect to Odin.
Flash.
Now, lets start by telling us what you have. P1000 running Froyo?
Rooted?
BTW, if you follow the complete Overcome guide, 99.999% you won't go wrong, if you follow every steps.
So read it 10 times if not sure.
The GB-Stock-Safe package mentioned in Overcome and available on their site, it contains the correct version of Odin (1.7) and the USB driver for Samsung.
32 bit and 64 bit driver for Windows.
Absolutely nothing else extra is needed. All there.

Actually you can flash a CWM.zip update without installing a kernel after you root your device.
But again, installing kernel with CWM included just like Priyana said would be a lot easier and simpler.

Hi Thanks for your continued help.
GT-P1000, 2.2, Baseband P1000xxjma, Kernel 2.6.32.0 [email protected]#1
The tab is completely standard, never touched until a few days ago. Followed the instrictions at Android Authority to Root using z4Root
How do I know if it is rooted? (Ie was z4 root successful).
Did Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and Wipe Cache Partition - then realised I did not have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
That is where I am now.
I hope you do not mind me asking clarifications for your instruictions. Your guide said 'jump to .. flash overconme" - where does that part start.
The quide mentions downloading a gb stock safev5.zip , an Oversome Kernel.tar and 7 series wipe.zip
Note the gb stock.zip mentions Gingerbread Based - I have Fryo (what are the implications)
But your last reply just mentions downloading the tar file and using odin
Can you see that for someone who is not familiar with all this Android jargon this is all very confusing.
I am quite competent in following instructions, but most instructions assume certain conditions (without telling me if my Tab meets those conditions), and assumes I know what eg "odin sees it" means, where is odi, where do I install it, how do I use it.
What I really want is a straightforward guide that will tell me how to install AOKP ROM Build 40 onto MY Tab, without 'go here' and 'go there' and only do this IF ...
Thanks for your help.

Hi ColinK,
Unfortunately there is no straight way to install AOKP.
I am afraid you have to follow the guide to the letter, sort of.
This is why.
Some froyo from for our tab has locked bootloader.
So if you are on froyo there is a small chance you had a locked one.
You need to root your tab then run an app to check and to patch.
(I forgot by now whether you need root to check... to patch definitely yes)
Now, that is why Overcome guide said if froyo you need to root.
It is not strickly necessary.
Now, let's assume you don't have locked bootloader.
You only need to use Odin and flash GB stock safe v5 (which is actually Gingerbread Samsung version JQ1 Italian rom)
So, you need Odin.
Unpack the gb stock safe and you find Odin and USB driver.
Install USB driver first, then plug in your tab and your PC will detect the new device.
Unplug your device.
Install Odin.
Launch Odin, put your device to download mode and plug your device in to PC.
I am not a big user of Odin. I use heimdall in Linux which is simple and just work, so my memory is sketchy.
Odin will detect your device. There will be messages on screen.
Line up the files according to the guide and flash.
If no error your tab rebooted and you have GB ROM.
that of course isn't the end because you need cwm.
So continue with the guide.
It asks you to use Odin to flash overcome kernel tar.
Do it and you will end up having cwm recovery.
That is the end of guide.
You don't need to flash overcome rom.
Just follow my other thread reply to get AOKP.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Addition info: The easiest way to check if you are rooted or not:
Download and install 'root check' or 'got root?' from google play store.
If the rooting failed, you can try the doomslords rooting script. It was my favorite root script up to GB2.3.3
Once you succesfully rooted, continue download the bootloader patch for froyo.
I have been on AOKP for so long, all this rooting, bootloader and all are a blur now.

I can feel you. I can't even 100% remember if gb-stock-safe is pre-rooted or overvcome kernel gives root access for it.

I too am trying to get the Tab up to ICS via the overcome procedure, links are down on overcome and not all the links on the tabfirmware are working, specifically the Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.zip doesn't work, with a nice <This file does not exist, the access to the following file is limited or it has been removed due to infringement of copyright.> message.
There's also the link to the full overcome site as a screen capture or something in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872, but it's now giving a 404, so my confidence level for doing this is now low ;-(

I recommend first upgrading to 2.3.3, then flashing chainfire's modded cwm via odin:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/vsN8JA6x/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
and then flashing overcome via cwm:
http://www.ravishare.com/1fragzl971e6/Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip.html
then you can flash any aokp or cyanogenmod mtd build.
Upgraded to ICS and thanks
Ok so thanks to all who helped out with links to roms and guides.
I now have a lovely Galaxy Tab with ICS from AOKP.
And for anyone who would like to try but hasn't yet it really is surprisingly easy, just take your time and make sure to do it right, you won't regret the upgrade to ICS
I stood on the shoulders of giants to do this :good:.
So you use the method I posted or what Gogol posted?

guyz i need help in installing cwm in my rooted galaxy tab p1000 running 2.2 froyo
My final goal is to flash Slim ICS, which I've done on quite a few galaxy s1 i1900 phones.
Here things went awry..
I'll try and keep this short - I tried something which did not work, have gone through the "phone--!--Computer" stage, flashed an AT&T stock rom through Odin hoping to be able to root it, install rom manager and CWM recovery and install my desired rom. This did not work.
On this AT&T rom I can't even find rom manager in the play store.
What I'm looking for is a way to flash a rom and kernel via Odin, preferably rooted, so that I can then flash recovery and so forth...
Any suggestions will be most welcome!
Thanks
Why not use TRusselo's Flashing Guide ?? It is up to date. :thumbup:

Hi All,
A very good morning to all.
As the title suggests, I am requesting guidance in step by step manner. Since there is so much information that I am confused & hence creating this thread.
Below are the complete info of the phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9000DDJV7
Kernel Version: [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDJVB
My phone is a stock phone & has been never flashed before.
As per my research, its said that I should have a custom recovery in place & Clockworkmod recovery is the one of the best. I want to install the same using ROM Manager rather than using ODIN. I have got it from Google Store. But after clicking on install/upgrade "Clockworkmod recovery" then confirming my phone model. Then when I click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery I get this error - "An error occured while flashing your recovery".
I am not using ODIN as I can't delete update.zip file from my SD Card. Hence I am avoiding that approach so that I don't have any issues with accidental deletion of update.zip.
Requesting guidance.
Regards
Sudhir
Now, I have found an app called root checker. It is giving me the below info:
SU - Not Found.
Root Access - No Access.
Please guide me on what should I do next.

Hey there,
So the reason why ROM manager isn't working for you is precisely the thing you discovered using Root Checker. You're not rooted, and ROM Manager needs root access to work. (ROM Manager doesn't install Clockworkmod properly either, so you may want to refrain from using that).
So you need to root your device first.
The easiest and safest way of doing this is
1.) Flashing XXJW4 using Odin (if you're unable to use Odin for whatever reason this step isn't easily done).
Then
2.) Flashing Cf-Root made for XXJW4 (the thread is in these forums) through Odin.
This will root your device and install CWM onto it, so you can flash away.

It may but I do not recommend it. I have done that a couple times but with xxjvk and I think xxjvo. If you gona try it do it at your own risk. Rather download the cf root for ddjv7
Hmmm, I don't think one was made for DDVJ7. Chainfire stopped making them after JW4 so a lot of newer firmwares are missing.
I wouldn't recommend trying, but you SHOULD be able to flash in a stock rom or stock kernel again should something go wrong.
But as I said, I wouldn't try it for the sake of safety.
Easier to flash XXJW4 instead because at least you know that the CF-Root made for it will obviously work
