Hello,
it's my first time i try to install the new Open Austria ICS on my Galaxy TAB 8.9 (HC3.2 SEB-Baltic) with Odin.
Can somebody please tell me the don'ts so that I do not hardbrick my tab.
I have a baltic Galaxy Tab 8.9. Is it actually possible to flash the Open Austria ICS?
There are already a couple threads here that people bricked their tabs flashing with Odin; I do not know what they have made wrong.
The most important thing is to make sure you have the right Rom for your device. There are many variants of the tab and if you use a Rom from a tab that's different than what you have you have a good chance of bricking. That is what I've seen as the biggest cause of a brick or other problems people have had. Also, have a copy of the stock Rom because you might need it to recover from a soft b brick
And read and study all the how-to s and stickies. Make sure you have a good idea of what you're doing before you start. Vincom has excellent how-to s.

How can I make a stock ROM by myself or shall I download it?
Does it make more sense to flash the whole firmware with Odin or to use the CWM version like StockRom_Discovery V6.0, maybe then it's easier to also flash to CM10.
You can get stock roms from sammobile.com. they're zip files. In order to use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 out of it Use 7-zip.
Install cwm using Odin. The custom roms are zip files and you'll use cwm to install them

Hello,
Since we are in australia and using P1000T, that is the firmware. Your firmware is JJ3.
Now, from here you can:
Stay stock (leave it at that)
Get custom Rom (overcome, etc)
If you want custom rom, look in the galaxy tab android development and follow the instructions to the letter to avoid bricking your tab.
It is normally advisable to flash your rom to roto's rom first before you get a custom rom. Roto's rom: roto jmi or roto jme, just search the development section.
I flashed 2 P1000t's straight to gingerbread with no problems... The bootloader doesn't need to be patched. Follow the instructions in the overcome thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=596770&d=1305467639 or these instructions & Links on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13781955
Just remember, You don't need to flash the modem.bin part, just untick phone in ODIN. This allows you to keep the original Telstra radio...
Cheers, and happy flashing...
Ok bloke so two questions if you can please help. What is the best way to backup the existing stock to restore back to in case i screw it. Also when you say you went straight to gingerbread, which gingerbread rom did you use that was successful.
Did you use/have you heard of the Euro Italian one that is floating around the traps?
OK, here's stock Telstra firmware and radio - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971870
Read about this on Sarsippius thread... Big thankyou, Sarsippius, for this...
You MUST have AT LEAST 50% battery or you may end up with a brick. The tab doesn't charge during the flashing process so if you have low battery it will be sucked dryt pretty quick. Flashing seems to use a bit of power...
Next, I flashed this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 , thankyou Chainfire...
You need to follow the steps EXACTLY (if you want pictures go to the overcome thread and get his flashing manual, though there a re a few files named different and he doesn't need to flash the dbdata.tar file after the 1st flash...I also flashed the CF-Root V3.2 afterwards using ODIN....
Flashed 3 times using ODIN. Now have stock gingerbread and CWM on tab...
You can use the modem.bin file from the stock rom to keep the Telstra modem...
Takes about 10 - 15 minutes , go slow, read each step and DON'T skip ahead or you will come a cropper...
Remember, you can ALWAYS flash back to stock through ODIN as long as it recognises your tab....
I then flashed the Overcome rom V2.0.0 RC1 using CWM...
Happy Flashing....
ok..
i just manage to root GT-P1000T with chainfire thingy..(can't remember the name)
i fire up root explorer..and also installed bootloader patch - as per suggestion i found in xda (it says that mine are safe)
does it realy means that i realy could flash my dev with any firmware??

You have the same Tab as I do, yes you can flash any gsm or european rom... DON'T flash the cdma roms as they are different from my understanding, could be wrong...
Look at my post above if you want to flash to gingerbread... I know that works...
Cheers...

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?

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

thanx in advance!!!!
I think you just have to flash the old firmware with odin. Just search for a tutorial for the firmware you want. Maybe i misunderstood you.

I am having problems with flashing the firmware with Odin. I almost bricked my phone the last time and i don't want to brick my phone again, so can you point me in the correct direction, buddy????
dont panic..just go and flash any of 2.3.6 official rom. go for xxjvk. search this forum for official roms and you can even find video on youtube for correct flashing.
hope this helps

Odin is not that dangerous :silly: You just have to look that you put the files on the right place and then just dont touch the phone while flashing. Then it is quite safe Just search for a tutorial.
Visit - Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 - Flashing to Original ROM : https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/
You can try to flash TeamwinRecovery/CWM with stock recovery than you just copy the stockrom to your sd card an flash it with the TWR/CWM... Afterwards you just flash the stock recovery again with TWR/CWM and you've finished without odin I hope it really works for sgs, cause i've tested that only with sgs plus
Stock Firmware thread
Here you go buddy, head over to this thread, they have a large list of stock ROMs, just choose the one that matches your region and flash it using Odin
Make sure you read the instructions in the OP.

All these other people posted links for instructions and stuff to alternate websites.
If you still need help, use the xDa written guide on flashing the stock firmware for your device.

That link has AT&T provided, search the forums for the carrier/model GS4 you have and download the stock firmware.

Make sure your device is rooted first. If not, go here and follow the guide for which ever firmware you have: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 You can flash cwm with odin or heimdall (plenty of xda tutorials on odin)
Does the modem number need to be the same as the one.that i have currently?

I posted this question back in early october and no correct answers were given and thread was deleted. so here it goes again. I updated from stock hc to official stock ics through kies i guess? whichever is through the settings - check for updates on the tab. i then asked how to root to jb and people tried telling me one way and then others said no dont do it that way since im running stock official ics. i dont know what odin is, i dont know what flashing is and i dont know what kernels are. i would please like simple simple step by step instructions on how to root to the latest AOKP jb from official ics. i am sorry for the edginess but im just so frustrated i bought this tab and paid 330 for it in sept and I wish I would have waited. this tab is just to slow and id like the extra speed and features from jb as well as an option to oc the processor. $70 more and two months of waiting i could have got the nexus 10 .. oh and i have the wifi only 7310. PLEASE HELP!!

Debating on selling this thing if i cant get jb. what do you think a 32 gb 7310 only two months old aind in mint condition with a nice moto $40 leather case could fetch? lol again sorry for soundimg like an ass im just frustrated
I have a tab i957. It wasn't the easiest to get jb on. Which tab do you have?
The first thing you need is Odin. Google Odin 3 ver 1.85.
Then you'll need to flash a recovery, either twrp or clock work mod, make sure it's specific to the tab you have. you flash it with Odin
Then you'll need to down load a jb Rom on to your device,again make sure it's for your device. Then you flash it through the recovery.
The stickies will have more specific info. There are no simple steps. You have to learn by reading and trying.

You dont have to use Odin with the latest roms! do you?
Not to flash the Rom, only to get clockwork or twrp recovery on the device. The Rom is flashed thru the recovery.
