Hi everyone,
I tried installing ClockworkMod from my stock Gingerbread Galaxy Tab. Now, I can enter recovery mode and download mode, but I cannot get past the boot screen. The reason I tried installing this in the first place was because I was told it was necessary before I could install CyanogenMod 10, which is my ideal end result.
If anyone knows the best way for me to move forward, I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
you don't need to get past the boot screen
just put CM10 and gapps in sdcard
boot to recovery and flash the ROM
(may need multiple flashes) then flash gapps.

Thanks for the help, that's really great news. However I dont own a Mini SD card at the moment; is this absolutely necessary to move forward with the installation, or can I use the tablet's internal memory?
It is Micro SD actually.
Well, I guess you could have placed it in your internal SD before you did all this.
There is a way to mount the sdcard in recovery and use adb command to push.
But I don't supposed you are familiar with adb?
Another option is to forget everything now and restock from scratch.
What model is your tab?

The model is GT P1000M, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with adb. Would you recommend me just starting from scratch at this point? Or I could just buy the Micro SD card tomorrow, because I'll probably want one anyways for storage.
Ok, the M is the canadian version.
But it is like a regular P1000
It is good to have an sd card, so if you already plan to do so, then go ahead and do that, then we see how it goes.
At worst, if it didn't work out, as long as you can boot to download mode and Odin detects your tab, you are good to restock.
If that is needed, the Overcome method can be found at my signature.
More of that later if needed.

Hey priyana, so I bought the micro SD card, placed CM 10 and Google apps in zip format on it, Inserted it inside the tab and proceeded with installation (wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick cache, installed the CM 10 from zip and now it is giving me an error (status 7) and aborted the installation. What do you think I should do now?
Edit: if it helps, the file I used was cm-10-20120829-EXPERIMENTAL-p1-PREVIEW.zip, (144 MB)
Edit2: tried using the latest version of Sapir Cyanogenmod and still no luck, so I'm assuming there must be a deeper issue than the file
you need to to edit the updater script to remove the assert.
But if you are not that comfortable with that, use overcome method in my signature.
And please DON'T use the cm10 experimental.
There are many nightly , why did you land on such an outdated copy.
I suggest you go
http://get.cm/?device=p1
and get gapps for CM 10.0.x
http://goo.im/gapps
and restock using overcome method, start from page 7 of PDF
Okay thank you again for all your help so far. I'm trying to proceed with the Overcome method, and on page 8 it says it is important to pick a version based on what type of tablet you have (AT&T, T-mobile, Tel-Cal, etc.) except as you know, mine is a Bell Canada tablet which is not listed. Should I assume that Bell is equivalent to AT&T?
I think so.
If not mistaken, Bell and Rogers uses the same UMTS 850MHz for 3G like AT&T ?
You can change modem later.
And if you don't use data, it matter even less.

Okay! I think I'm on the right track now hanks to your guidance . Followed your overcome guide and installed it flawlessly! However I tried to install the latest CM version you posted and the gapps, but now it seems to go straight to Recovery Mode after the boot screen whenever I try to turn it on. Any suggestions as to how to proceed? Thanks again by the way you've been such an amazing help.
Normal.
From stock to cm you need to flash a few times.
First round converts partition from bml scheme to mtd, second round the ROM itself.
Could be more times. Maybe first round only install newer cwm.

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...
which odin one click?
Maybe he just did that...

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

Once Again thankyou for your kind Reply!
Hi, first post here so if I screwup any of the etiquette please tell me.
Ok, so I've had my P1000 for about two years now, no contract, not locked to sprint / verizon etc.
I had 2.3.3 at the start, but after seeing mannnny people flashing to ICS successfully I had to give it a go.
Attempted to flash using overcome kernel for CWM, failed and I had to odin back to 2.3.6 (couldn't find a 2.3.3 rom).
I kept it on 2.3.6, but I was unhappy and so am trying again:
It's important to know that I am now on a mac, so will not had access to odin, and instead am forced to use heimdall. Please don't post any odin specific instructions.
In order to get CWM I had to flash the overcome kernel, which includes the recovery mod.
I successfully used heimdall for this, following a specific instruction guide.
I then downloaded "cm-9-20120703-NIGHTLY-p1.zip" from get.cm, and copied it to my externalSD on my gt.
Booted into recovery, wiped all data/factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and went to install form an externalSD.
I chose my file, and the installation / flashing (not sure as to the terms. ) began.
It went through a few messages, but however once it said "Checking state of BML/MTD" it reboots instantly and shows the cm startup for about five seconds before going into recovery. Always does this on startup, no way to change.
The only way to fix this is to go into recovery and wipe all data, but this leaves me on my 2.3.6 rom.
I have NO idea what's happening, and I can't use most guides due to them being odin specific.
If anyone can assist me, please do.
Don't link to any odin threads, and don't tell me to search, for I have been doing so for eight hours.
Cheers,
Zero
EDIT: SOLVED!!!
After flashing once it failed at BML/MTD, so I opened recovery and flashed from "internal sd". Worked a charm, now installing gApps.
Cheers for helping Priyana!
that is call boot loop.
Just boot to recovery and flash it once more
it is quite documented.

That's the thing - when I boot to recovery after flashing (and failing) CM9, it is a different sort of recovery and doesn't allow me to install from an externalSD.

I've got this exact issue coming over from Frankenclean 2.8 on the samsung fascinate. I decided to update my rom as it was falling behind the 'curve' if you will.
I'm now stuck at a bootloop "samsung" and "S-cyanogen(mod)" screen. they just go back and forth. I'm following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 to the letter and still getting the issue. I've tried flashing a newer kernel that is for 4.x.x builds and no luck.
When I install or attempt to install cyanogen10 it fails on the bml/mtd check and it just reboots to those two screens.
I followed the 'fix' at section 9 but haven't had any luck getting cyanogen to install... I'd really appreciate a little help, ideas, questions, anything.
I know it's an older device, I'm just hoping someone out there with more dev knowledge than I possess "read: none" can help me out.
bump...
Got it to boot into a stock rom, but have 0 luck getting my nandroid to load up and be functional using CWM 2.4 (red). Which is what I made the recovery with.
Might end up with a stock phone if I can't figure it out, I don't mess with roms often.
Luckily I do have titainium backup so all my apps are saved. Just sucks to not have a sleek rom anymore. Not to mention I want jellybean. Any help is appreciated!
fixed it, 4.1 didn't like my phone, got hellybean 4.2 on it without a problem .
Only issue is that google voice to text doesn't work, nor google search.
Hi all, posting my saga here if it would help someone, maybe you can comment or help. Here's the info and steps I've taken:
Info:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 7.0" (AT&T) running stock Froyo
Model: SGH-I987 (aka GSM Galaxy Tab - P1000, T-Mobile SGH-T849)
Baseband: I987UCJK1
Steps Taken:
Rooted using SuperOnceClick - successful
Installed SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00.apk, reported that I was safe, however I still cannot install unsigned zips…
To get around 3e recovery, I decided to flash a custom rom with cwm recovery built in. This is where things started to go downhill
I installed an overcome kernel which I thought would give me cwm recovery, however instead I got the thin white line on the right hand side and the robotic voice. Couldn't get to recovery
After the robotic voice I installed JJ4 bootloaders which got me a different splash screen, but at least it was booting now, still no recovery though
I think at some point I may have repartitioned as well
Then I tried a cyanogenmod install, things started to pickup because I got cwm recovery working, but the ROM install failed with an assert failure getprop("ro.product.device") … I assume this is because the device is actually and SGH-I987 but the rom is for a P1000. I deleted the assert from the install script in the zip file, however the install still fails, can't get past recovery.
The latest attempt this morning, I followed the instructions here "How to unbrick your galaxy tab" I downloaded the firmware from sammobile (Tablet, android, GT-P1000, UK / IRELAND, P1000XWJP9_P1000XXJPZ_P1000XEUKP1_HOME.tar) plus the Odin zip file containing the P1_add_hidden.pit file for repartition. Everything goes well in Odin however after reboot I have (see text and pictures below.)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:install_application_for_customer: Can't mount /data
Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions. copy application failed.
When I reboot out of recovery, I get put into the glowing Samsung animation, which appears to blink, freeze then restart in an endless loop, I've let it run for sometime now, seems no end to it (see picture below)
I thinking I may have hosed my internal SD, but I'm not sure? Any advice to get this thing back running appreciated. My goal is to install Cyanogenmod 9 on it. Thanks.
Use overcome method, meaning you must do gb stock save v5 before overcome kernel.

Download Odin version 1.85 and put that on your computer. Download the stock rom for your device from sammobil.com. Extract the .tar.md5 file from that using 7-zip. From Odin, plug your phone in using the USB cable while your in download mode on the phone. in PDA in Odin find the md5 file. Flash that. It'll return your phone to like new condition. You'll lose anything stored on it so make sure you back up your phone first.

It really depends on the problem.
There are a small percentage of people that has broken/degraded internal memory chip (NAND chip).
For those, there are threads dealing with removing the chip or modifying ROMs to run on external SD card entirely.
Hi
I have a p7320 which I am trying to install a custom ROM to, and I am having some trouble.
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122
1: flashed cwd through odin
2: flashed superuser through cwm
All fine until now
3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm
4: bootloop
I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back
I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel
There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.
I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)
from here: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/12/12/u-s-att-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-sgh-i957-android-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update-finally-arrives/
flashing went fine and the tab booted.
Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.
In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB
This tab is 16GB.... what happened?
I cant transfer files to it, so the only thing I can flash is the .tar files through odin.
please help

Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing
so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM
then reboot to system and see if the problem still there

this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]
I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,
so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function
one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}
I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices
what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device
so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
I have a p7320 and I am using this ROM.

Worked out fine, and the memory of the SD card is back.
However... I once again flashed cwm and superuser, then i tried the rom you are linking to but the tab wont boot with it
Its just stuck with a black screen after the logo.

Hi,
I'm the developer working on the CM10 ROM for the P7320 - yes, the first boot might take a while, and it doesn't show a boot animation, so it might look like it's crashed. But I have tested going from the stock ICS image to my ROM a few times and it seems to work fine, eventually. Perhaps you could give it another go and see?

Can i flash superuser, your rom and gapps in one go? Or do I have to boot it in between?
thank you for your answer
The ROM should have super user already, so you shouldn't need that. You can do the ROM and gapps together.
I tried again, and this time it worked like a charm!

What am I doing wrong. My device starts to cyanogenmod boot animation but not further.
Do I have to do the dalvik wipe and cache wipe?
I think i have tried everything. It's been rolling boot animation about 30 minutes now.
Sorry about my bad language.
And thank you for your answers.
I dont have a solution. Is this the first time you use this ROM? One time I wanted to revert to stock to check something and I got an everlasting Samsung animation until I did a factory reset from recovery. Did you try factory reset?

Hello Everyone,
I know this is an old tablet and mine works fine but there are so many apps i cannot run on it because it's so old.
For some reason when I go to recovery (power plus volume down) it only gives me options to install from cache or to install from SD card. My Tab doesn't have an SD card slot and I've tried many different things like putting the Google Apps file in an /sdcard folder but no luck. Maybe I need a better recovery that will allow me to install from OTA USB or from Internal storage, or directly from the PC.
I have never rooted a phone before or unlocked a bootloader, and maybe I'm missing a step, but no matter how many forum posts I check people seem to be able to run it from /sdcard which is simply not working for me.
Please help!
I've got the same issue here, and tried everything, from what you've said you've done to using command lines in adb fastboot, and nothing seem to bring me closer to write on the root of the device. Maybe with both of us asking here someone pops up to bring some light to this.

I used this TWRP recovery, then flashed the lollipop rom here. But I stopped at the gapps... the only one I was able to flash was this one, but the keyboard isn't showing up. I tried the complete compilation and the flashing failed due to lack of space, although the device was plenty of it...

Thanks for replying. Yes, this is what I found out reading in xda and other forums, as the recovery I mentioned above is the 2.7.1.0, but is there a 2.8 recovery for the Tab 8.9, or should we be able to update the 2.7 to 2.8 without problems? Edit: I noticed in your post signature you got a 3.0 version on your device... how?
@saitar
Here are the link for TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ev-testing-twrp-galaxy-tab-8-9-p7310-t3469987
You can update your TWRP with the ZIP file from your existing Recovery or with Odin and the *.Tar file.

You're the man! th tar file didin't work, but I was able to flash the 3.0 TWRP, then flashed the Nougat version and the Gapps. Everything is working fine.
Thanks again!
Nougat update for i957?
Great to see the efforts here, kudos.
A naive question, whether this is going to work on my i957 currently on 4.0.4 ICS? If no, any recommendations for any latest ROM for i957? Being on 4.0.4, a number of apps have started causing issues, support not being available.
If there's another thread I should post on, pls suggest the same.
Thx

Recover using ODIN n with official firmware

Hello Everyone,
I know this is an old tablet and mine works fine but there are so many apps i cannot run on it because it's so old.
For some reason when I go to recovery (power plus volume down) it only gives me options to install from cache or to install from SD card. My Tab doesn't have an SD card slot and I've tried many different things like putting the Google Apps file in an /sdcard folder but no luck. Maybe I need a better recovery that will allow me to install from OTA USB or from Internal storage, or directly from the PC.
I have never rooted a phone before or unlocked a bootloader, and maybe I'm missing a step, but no matter how many forum posts I check people seem to be able to run it from /sdcard which is simply not working for me.
Please help!
