[Q] I have a SGS on UK Orange

...
I want to Flash/Install different ROM on my phone but I don't have 3 button recovery... I also believe I will need to root it? Not sure if I've read correctly...
I'm guessing I first need to get the 3 button recovery working? Do I need to download something for this? Will I need to root the phone before this step, or afterwards?
Then do I use Odin (1.3) to install the new ROM?
I have downloaded the Android SDK (for adb), a fix file for the 3 Button recovery, Odin 1.3. Is there anything else I will need to carry out all of the above?
Very grateful for any help.

I have international I9000 and I used these instructions, they're in Russian, you can translate them with google
searching for the file that is mentioned there I could find this, which is the same
rooting is another thing, this one is for replacing bootloader
another manuals

Ok, so I've got the 3 button recovery working, rooted (not sure if this step is necessary?), unlocked... is there anything else before I flash a newer ROM to the handset? (of course, I will make sure I've backed up the phone too).
Also, if you could suggest a ROM for me to download. Would like the latest stable release of android (I'm guessing one of the variants of Froyo? Currently running Eclair).
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip!... Just trying to get clockworkmod recovery to load up on rebooting the handset... I have to rename update.zip on the internal sd card I believe??

Davey boy - make sure you can get into download mode before you go any further.

When holding volume down, home and power I get "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" - That's right isn't it?
I still can't seem to be able to access the ClockworkMod Recovery though on rebooting the handset (after renaming the original update.zip on my internal SD card to aupdate.zip) - Any suggestions?

Update .
Is the name usually .

I ended up installing JV1 from samfirmware, but am wanting to downgrade it to a later Froyo build. Or a custom ROM... not sure yet.
How would I got about installing a "ROM Kitchen" ROM manually? I can't load ClockworkMod Recovery to install from SD card.
Edit: Just going to reinstall Eclair and install the ROM through CWM that way.

Hi small question someone might know how do you do a carrier firmware backup? Before you do the reflash?

Are you sure you're pressing the right combination?
Press volup + power + home
And release them when Samsung logo appears, or it will just reboot again

Yep, that was the combination I used. Managed to get it all running using the latter method.

Had successfully flashed with original firmware 2.3.3 DXJV9 and did the factory reset. However all my sms has gone .
Btw, what is the best root kernel for this firmware?

I'm pretty sure JVO and JV9 are the same in kernel aspects so you should be able to use CF Root 3.2 JVO. The reason for these boot loops might have been because of the rom you were using, if it was a stock one it's no wonder it went into boot loops as Juwe's rom is deodexed so the addon would definitely not work. If it was a deodexed I'm not sure how it could have happened. But really the addon was made for Juwe's rom so unless you were running it it wasn't really the addons fault. Tips for the future: Make a backup in CWM, saves a lot of hassle with odin and saves your stuff. Have a CWM flashable rom on your SD card which saves you needing odin to recover. Hope this helps

[Q] overcome rom

Hi,
device info:-
samsung galaxy tab p1000
running 2.3.3 stock firmware
rooted with doomslord kit
i am new to flashing an android
i have downloaded and decrypted a firmware from checkfus downloader
question:-
1. Is the overcome's stock safe v5 zip and the checkfus downloaded zip same???
Please reply asap.
Wholehearted thanks for your help

I think checkfus downloads are many. You can't compare. They differ even amongst each other.
Overcome stock safe zip is not just a rom.
It is a package containing Odin, drivers, and modem radios, as well as JQ1 stock rom.

Thanks Priyana,
heard a lot about you, great helper and developer. just need a little help...
i am a complete newbie in flashing android. matter of fact i havent even once rebooted my phone into download or recovery mode.
i did a factory reset today...i need a complete step by step guide to flash overcome kernel 4.0.0 via mobile odin and aokp build 38 later.....
please help....
thanks

When you say factory reset do you mean the "Factory data reset" under privacy? or did you successfully install the Safe-Stock-Rom from Overcome's website?
There is a complete guide to how go from stock rom to Overcome 4.1.0 here: http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=17
I successfully completed it the other day and works perfectly on my Galaxy Tab.

Hi SGTABHI,
You have heard wrongly. I am not a dev, just a busy body trying to help
Dimitrix points rightly to overcome guide.
The images there are broken, so go here instead
Go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
See the guy phlooke posted a cached copy of the overcome guide.
Download it, it is a .PNG graphic file.
Now, you don't need to go through the whole restocking. We only need an overcome kernel 4.0 so that you have cwm.
So,
1) download overcome 4.0 kernel tar file and keep it in your PC
2) download aokp build 38 and gapps-ics from the link in aokp post. Put both on external SD card.
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.
5) power up to recovery by pressing volume up and power button.
I find it a bit tricky sometimes, maybe the way I hold the button. But you will get there.
6) from cwm recovery, choose to install update from external SD card and browse to aokp zip file and install. Some message about checking bml/mtd and you see the tab reboot.
7) you may get a boot loop, it may not boot into recovery, or it may go direct back to recovery. If it does that it is normal.
First time coming from bml to mtd will do that.
Just flash aokp one more time.
You will notice the cwm is not the overcome one anymore. It looks similar but it is not. You will have to browse to internal SD card instead, because this recovery somehow calls your external SD as internal SD.
8) so flash aokp again, and when completed, flash gapps-ics
9) when completed just reboot and sit back and wait till it is done!
Remember if anything go wrong you may have to restock to gb stock safe. But quite unlikely.
Good luck.

I have just wasted quite a bit of your time. Seems like you are asking about Mobile Odin !
But anyway it should be the same.
Just put overcome kernel tar in sdcard and use mobile Odin to flash it.
I am not familiar with mobile Odin, but it should match closely to Odin.
One guy even told me it works for restocking to stock safe!

i did a factory reset through privacy.....
thanks for helping.....is there any chance of bricking my tab
incase i brick it can i flash the checkfus downloaded via odin in download mode
thanks once again

Little chance to brick.
Brick only happens if you broke the boot loader.
Yes, I guess flashing checkfus download via Odin should kind if "restock".

This is the BEST AOKP install instruction I've ever seen! I will bookmark this for reference just in case anyone need this.

Priyana, thanks a lot for the guidea mate, very helpful.
Thinking of flashing my Tab with CM9. Some questions though.
How easy will it be for me to revert from ICS straight back to Overcome? Can I just flash Overcome kernel again, then flash Overcome ROM?
Will that work?
Also quick question while we are here, how stable is ICS? Can it play 3D games like Fifa and Nova without crashing?
Cheers mate!

No, you will need to do repartition with the correct pit file to go back to GB. You will need to do it via odin or heimdell.
ICS now is quite stable for daily use. but some lags in some 3d games.

Thanks a lot priyana...
I successfully updated my tab to aokp ics.....an everything is just fine and perfect.......only the first boot scared me to death as it took 5 mins but after that only 10 secs...thanks a ton
bluetooth receives every format except apk..... any solution?????

Some sort if security I think.
The only way is to rename it first.
I might be wrong.

10 sec boot?? My tab takes 2-3 mins to boot: first 2 boot logos, then black screen(1.5 mins), then laggy boot animation (1 min). Is that normal? B#38

I found out a solution......use Bluetooth explorer by medieval soft....and install it on both android devices...the received and the sharing device....then open it's directory and it's done......
10 secs thing was written out of ecstasy..... but my tab takes no longer than 20 secs......
Priyana can you guide me about changing the default boot animation .....

As long as you installed AOKP SGT7 or CM9 correctly you shoul have root access.
1. Download Root Explorer from Google Play store if you don't have one yet.
2. Download the bootanimation zip file and rename it to bootanimation.zip
3. Using Root Explorer, go to /system/media folder. Change access to R/W by click the R/W button on the top.
4. Find and rename the original bootanimation.zip to origboot.zip.bak.
5. Move the new downloaded bootanimation.zip to /system/media

IN AOKP SGT7:
1.Go to System Settings > Rom Manager> Navigation Bar > tick Auto hide.
This only work if the games or apps actually support auto full screen.
2. On home screen, Add > Shortcut > System UI >Toggle NavBar
This will allow you to manually do hide NavBar/status bar for full screen.
3. Go to System Settings > Rom Manager > Power Menu Options > tick Show Navigation Toggle. When you want full screen, just long press power button, you will notice new Navigation Bar Controls toggles. Press the power toggle under there.

Broken LockScreen (JB)

Hi XDA im new there i was looking for this issue everywhere but doesnt seems like its somewhere
when i installed Jelly bean i had fully working device but i pressed lock button and there it started when i want to unlock it i have screen like this
dl.dropbox.com/u/55724162/DSC_0885(.DOT)JPG
I used 3 versions of CM 10 JB
Still same issues and my Recovery is CWM 6.0.0.8
Thx in advance
Cant use link but i think its important to see it so please be nice

What specific tab do you have?
Edit and what rom

I have P7310
Tested these jelly beans:
cm-10-20121111-UNOFFICIAL-p5wifi
cm-10-20121025-UNOFFICIAL-p5wifi
cm-10.1-20121222-UNOFFICIAL-p5wifi
and in everyone i got this issue right after first attempt to unlock from sleep mode (via lockscreen)
same AOSP_14-01-2013_Beta-14 P5wifi

Well your picture doesn't look good, can't do much on it can you? Does it only do it on the cm10 roms? I'm not sure what to tell you but I'd try fixing permissions in your recovery.
What recovery are you using and how did you flash it. Factory reset, wipes, etc
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Bassicaly i did all wipes then instaled rom then Gapps and then rebooted
Like i said my recovery is this Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7310_alternate

And if you flash the stock rom it doesn't do it. You might try that to rule out hardware issues
Edit: found someone else who had a similar problem. There is an issue with the boot loader. If you odin the stock rom and then flash the cm rom. That fixed it. You'll of course, have to reinstall your recovery and root.

Where did you get the stock rom? Go to sammobile.com for it. You have to register, but it's free you'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin, PDA.

Galaxy S stuck on custom rom logo

HI, so recently i brought a galaxy s gt i9000. I wanted to flash a custom rom so I install cwm and now have root access. problem is whenever i try to install a custom rom it shows the bar for installation in CWM and then goes to the custom rom logo. It does nothing else whatsoever after that. I need to take out my battery and restore my backup in order to get my phone working again from a bootloop. i tried putting the rom in both my external sd card and the phone itself. Also before installing i wiped the dalvik cache etc. Can someone please help, i've tried multiple roms so its obviously my phone. thanks
details:
Running JW4 firmware
android gingerbread 2.3.6

i9000 stucks in logo because your phone is not acessing internel memory...i have also got this problem..i dont have any solution..one thing u can do is that take your phone in download mode for 2 to 3 minutes approximately and then again on your phone ...this will work...But this problem comes again when u shutdown your mobile..another method is to take your i9000 in download mode and connect to computer and then download dbdata.rfs file put in odin in pda and apply ...these two processess will definately work fine to acess your internal memory
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

Just a few questions regarding how you installed the rom.
1.) What rom, first of all?
2.) After rooting 2.3.6 and trying to flash through recovery, did the phone skip to the kernel screen before continuously bootlooping?
3.) Did you try pulling your battery, then putting it back in, entering recovery and flashing the same rom again?
