[Q] Overcome 1.6.4 to CM9 - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am still on the Overcome 1.6.4 with my SGT7 and was looking to upgrade to CM 9.I have had a read through the forum and the guides mention about restocking using the Overcome method before upgrading.
1. Since I am already using Overcome 1.6.4 and have CWM, am I able to flash the CM 9 files and gapps through recovery or is upgrading to Overcome 4.1 a must using Odin?
2. I am looking at the CM 9 stable but i also noticed that there is a CM 9.1 stable too. I was not able to find out the differences between the two or which one is better? I am guessing CM 9.1 might be the one to go for?
3. With CM 9 would we have to flash another modem or that comes already built into the rom? My model is the P1000
Anybody able to help steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

You dont have to flash a modem separately, but if radio does not work, you have to put the modem in the right place in the rom

Thanks, and in regards to my first question...
Am i able to directly flash CM9 files directly from recovery of overcome 1.6.4 without upgrading to Overcome4.0 kernel?

In theory, yes, you can, if the CWM is version 5.x
Version 4.x may give you assert failure. You can remove the assert part from the updater-script, and you better edit it from within the zip using 7zip instead of unzip and rezip unless you are in linux, and also when editing the file you need wordpad instead of notepad to preserve the linux/unix text file end of line char.
but still I recommend you go through the whole shebang of GB-stock-safe-v5 according to overcome guide (link is at my signature).
Apart from less hassle, guaranteed to work if followed to the letter, your Overcome 1.6.4 is froyo and I believe you still have a froyo bootloader.
Not that it is bad or anything, I just think it is better to flash GB bootloader (which is included in GB-stock-safe-v5)

Well, the cm9.1 has cwm based recovery 6.0.1.2...so it is possible...

Thanks guys for your help!
I was so cautious about this upgrade as the tab is not with me and I will be talking somebody through the upgrade over the phone and he is in a different city. So I wanted to be really sure about the whole process. I will give it a go sometime soon and revert back if i end up with issues. Fingers crossed that will not happen

[Q] GT-P1000 Confusion about how to install Andriod

Hi, I would love to update my GT-p1000 to ICS, I have found a whole bunch of posts about how to do this, but I can't really sort out what posts are the correct ones or where to start.
I have not updated with a custom image before so it's "clean"
I have rooted the device though, but that is about it.
Can someone guide me step by step on how to install a ICS image on this device?

Hi too. Your post confuses me. I thougt almost all ICS update Q&A threads are similar and therefore correct too.
It would start by tell you there are several ICS ROMs available.. CM9, and Stimpz0r's AOKP, being the main choices.
Continuing to ask you to follow the team overcome website instructions to restock (i.e. install GB-Stock-Safe) with team overcome kernel ONLY(no need to install overcome rom)
Next would be downloading the respective .zip file from their threads, and usually ends by asking you to follow each respective install instructions on their first posts. Currently AOKP and CM9 follows a very similar install procedures.
So, all these posts similar to tbe above are all correct.
But since you are on stock and rooted, AND if you are on Gingerbread 2.3.3 or up, with JPZ modem, you can skip the restocking procedure and directly install Overcom KERNEL before flashing ICS .zip file.

Do you mean
How do you put ICS into your Tab ?
First upgrade to 2.3.3 Then install cwm by using chainfire's pda and flashing it through odin 3 v1.7
http://www.4shared.com/zip/g-uW6vGt/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
then you have to flash overcome nowipe from team overcome's site.
after that you can follow any post incluzing stimpz0r's aokp or cdesai's cyanogenmods
What about for 2.3.3 unrooted set up if would like to had an ics? Also the same cm9?
Thanks

Same procedure.
Install CWM by flashing a kernel that has CWM built in , like Overcome 4.0 kernel.
The exact step you can follow overcome guide.
Then boot into cwm and flash ics and gapps.

One question from me (it's about ICS and soft modification so I allowed myself to put it here)
If I installed e.g. AOKP build 37 and I want to update it to build 38, do I need to use Recovery to install new rom only? Will it wipe my data (so I need to back it up using Titanium etc.?) or should I clean it myself? What about dalvik?
Thanks for answers!
It is OK to wipe cache and dalvik cache (some recovery just lump it as wipe cache)
I update from AOKP #37 to #38 without issue, everything intact.
Remember to flash gapps again.
But there has been at least two cases if seasoned users who got stuck upgrading and had to restock.
Just in case, copy everything from internal SD to external SD or to PC, since restock with pit file will reformat internal SD.
Edit: recovery is for flashing anything and wiping, not just for flashing new rom.
Of course it only flash zip that is packaged for flashing.

Tab GT-P1000 Which version of Clockworkmod do I install?

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.

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 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?

Flashing CM10 on GT-P1000R

Hi all. Couldn't find any posts about this specific problem so here goes:
I'm trying to CM10 on the following device:
Model number: GT-P1000R
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000RUXKG1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UXKG1
I've rooted the device with CF-Root v3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734, CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip) which installs CWM 3.0.0.5. When I reboot in CWM Recovery mode and try to flash the zip, I get the following error:
assert failed: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxytab" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P1000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P1000");

I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada).
P1000R is just a normal P1000 (M or R, plain P1000)
I have not tried but I am sure CM10 need CM9 first.

I have had the same difficulty flashing the rom for my GT-P1000R, as most roms are designed for the generic GT-P1000 and upon flashing check for the version and stop because ours is specific to Rogers. Exactly what did you do to modify the updater-script and what is the file called in rom ZIP package?
To be honest, ever since I was foolish enough to upgrade to Gingerbread earlier this year I have regretted it, as my Bluetooth no longer works with my HID keyboard. As I believe in going forward is best, I am looking to upgrade to ICS, but as a last resort going back to Froyo (if I can find it) would get me back the functionality I lost.
I would appreciate any help you can provide as I have scoured the net and found very little that deals specifically with our version (GT-P1000R) of the SGT.

Perhaps, but every time I try to flash a rom made for a P1000, the install fails indicating in the error message that it has detected my tablet as being a SGT P1000R, hence my original inquiry. I am sure it is simply a question of updating a config file to fool the installer, but which one?

Thank you for the links to the Overcome method, and I now have successfully upgraded my former SGT P1000R, Android 2.3.3, to a SGT P1000, Android 2.3.6 - A significant improvement indeed! Unfortunately my test to see if my Bluetooth HID keyboard works with my new and improved SGT came up short - Will pair, but not connect.
After doing some research and coming to the sad conclusion that only an upgrade to ICS will do to get the aforementioned functionality to work, I tried AKOB and CM9 upgrades, following the instructions available. Each and every time I tried the upgrade, the tablet went into an endless loop of reboots indicating an error, which was displayed too quickly to read. I ended up having to restart the Overcome process again to salvage things.
Alas it is late and my quest to get ICS installed on my tablet (unless someone can tell me how to get a connection to my Bluetooth HID keyboard in 2.3.6) will wait for another day. Thanks anyway for the help.

IIRC the endless boot loop is due to the install process complaining that it couldn't find some partitions. When you get to that point you should just reboot to recovery and install the zip again for the 2nd time and it should work then.
I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:
Which files for GT-P1000R running on GB2.3.3?

Hi! First of all, thanks for all this information! I Also have a GT-P1000R (Rogers) running on the same gingerbread version UXKG1 and rooted with the original thread. So, literally, my tab is in the EXACT situation from the original thread. I am assuming that in order to flash any custom ROM's, i need my tablet to be recognized as a GT-P1000 . I am reading the manual, and i am wondering which modem to use. Or do I just need to do an update considering I am already running Gingerbread 2.3.3 ? My overall goal is to have my tablet recognized as a GT-P1000 (not with the r) and eventually upgrade to ICS or higher, also for the primary reason of using a bluetooth (hid supported) keyboard...among other things.
I am familiary with Odin and these instructions are great, I am just slightly unclear what to do in the case of already being on gingerbread 2.3.3, but working with a GT-P1000r. Thank you in advance for your help!

I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:

I also posted this above to another reply, but am worried it will get missed.
I have the same table you do (GT-P1000R) with Rogers, and it was rooted with the same file you used in this original thread on UXKG1.
Do you recall if you just had to do an update with overcome (since you were also running 2.3.3 , UXKG1 as per your first post) , or did you do a complete overhaul.
If you had to do the entire process, which modem did you use? these are the options given...
-GSM based GT-P1000 Tab (Asia, Europe, Middle East, Occeania/Africa, rest of world, etc..) : use JPZ MODEM
-North American T-Mobile Tab user: use T-Mobile Modem
-AT&T (USA), Tel Cel , etc - use JK3 modem.
I am assuming i would use the NA Tmobile based, considering Rogers is Canada's 'sister company' to T-Mobile? but i want to be sure...
Thanks for the help..as you know..there isn't a lot of info on GT-P1000R version..
Not quite.
Rogers is using 850/1900 MHz , the same as AT&T USA
the term NA T-Mobile there is to differentiate that with the UK T-Mobile, which use the usual European frequency.
so At&T modem ?

Awesome..thanks for clarifying. JUST in case...I will Clarify then that I should use the A&T , etc modem version? Any other tips I should be aware of ...as I am working with a rogers version? Thanks.
Yes, use AT&T modem.
No other tips regarding special treatment, they are identical to normal P1000 except that the modem radio is made to work on 850MHz for the 3G part.
Anything you read about P1000 here applies equally to a P1000R
And you can use the Overcome method to get yourself a CWM recovery to flash ICS.
The link to its latest files and guide is in my signature.
If you are prepared to wipe out everything and start fresh.
Get the GB-stock-safe-v5 package (it has rom, odin, windows drivers, modem files)
and the PDF (read from page 7 onward)
and the Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar format.
Only the kernel, you don't need the Overcome Series 7 rom, if your eventual target is ICS.
Once you completed the step of flashing the kernel, you can reboot to CWM recovery and use that to flash ICS/JB, then its corresponding gapps, and you are done.
Last question...(i hope)

This might sound dumb - but because i've boot looped my galaxy s I9000m before (that STUPID m at the end...just like the r for my tab..) .. i want to make sure what exactly will be happening. I am familiar with Odin and flashing kernels, not so much modems...
My end goal is to EVENTUALLY flash ICS or J/B , but i haven't thought that far as to which one to go with, etc..so i might not do that part for another week or so -whenever i have time.
If i only do the instructions you gave me (for the rom, odin , etc) and the kernel, my tab should be all good to still use in the mean time, until i decide to flash ICS or JB?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.... I appreciate the assistance, and will be giving 'likes' and donations for SURE for all the help.
Yes, the guide is for Overcome Rom which is stock Samsung based gingerbread Rom.
The look is very closed to stock, but the kernel is improved.
Many are happy with just running it.

I am sorry, but as I read the thread through some more...i am still a bit confused of a couple of things. I know this is really probably a simple process...but bricking my tablet is the last thing i want to do.
Answers to the following would be so helpful:
1) Do I need to install the modem? I am currently on GB 2.3.3 unlocked and rooted. My tablet and root information is the same as the original thread. It is rooted with
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384 . I have not installed a modem before..so not exactly sure when/why this should be done and when it is not necessary to. - or do i ONLY need to go into odin and flash the kernel and rom. I am trying to get my tablet to be recognized as just GT-P1000 not with the r. It is the modem that will change how my tablet is recognized?
2) Do I need to insert a SIM card when I flash Overcome modem (if necessary) and kernel and Rom?
I do have a SIM card capable tablet, but I dont actually have a sim card for it. I use WIFI - and tether it from my phone if i need to. My service provider in Canada, Sasktel, blocks SIm cards from being able to use it in more than one device at a time (lame I know) , so buying a SIM card and not using the radio doesn't make sense. that being said , I DO want to be able to use the radio with a SIM card if i need to, like when I travel overseas and purchase one for their carriers.
Thanks again!
Your current rooting method leave your tab as P1000R, that is why I recommended overcome from scratch.
And I didn't know you are rooted and have cwm
Modem is for mobile network.
Wen you flash with Odin "repartition" , your modem will be wiped out.
A modem is required.
if you never use mobile function, any modem will do.
Remember being P1000R, if you are overseas other than with USA at&t, you only get 2G.
In Europe and Asia the UMTS freq is 2100Mhz and your tab is incapable of doing that.
You not need SIM to flash overcome.
Since you have cwm, you can just flash overcome ROM series 7 from cwm. Try that.

There is a really good CM10 (JB) ROM: sapir-rom.blogspot dot com Sorry for this type of link, but I can't post links yet :$
I just just that, went into my already cwm and flashed the rom - must say...impressive! wifi works (connected to two devices for trial, as i've had issues with this in the past) and works great.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for the help on this. you answered sooo many helpful questions.
TBH - i love this ROM , and i would love to keep it as this. but it is does not have HID bluetooth compatibility. any plans for the future to have this available on this ROM?
MY GT-P1000R is now without the stupid "r" !

[Q] Updating Overcome 2.3.3

I was given an Asian verion that was puchased in India about 2 years ago. It is a GT-P1000. I think it is an unlocked version, meaning it was not tied to any service provider but it did not come with the SIM card. We stuck an AT&T sim card in and it worked great. So right now it is a WiFi setup here in the U.S.
I rooted it and loaded Overcome 2.3.3 a year and a half ago. Then I let my kids use it and I forgot about it. I just got it back and wanted to update it to JB but I can't for the life of me remember how I originally installed Overcome. I have a number of HTC phones that I have rooted and installed custom ROMs but this seems to be different.
I have searched but can't seem to find a simple way to do this. Does one exist?
Thanks
Just boot to cwm recovery and flash any custom ROM. Can be overcome series 7 v4.1 ( follow my signature) or cm9, cm10, AOKP, or anything that comes in zip.
Do a wipe cache, wipe data and wipe dalvik-cache.

Thanks,
For some reason i was thinking i could not flash directly to a new version, that i had to do incremental installs.
Which download do i need. I see many of the zip dowmloads come with extra utilities i dont think i need.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Should be just the Overcome 4.1 ROM zip itself.
Since you are coming from 2.3.3, you should do the wipes.
I usually do it before and after the flashing of the ROM.
But you can choose not to wipe and see how it goes.
I still recommend downloading the nowipe version.
The reason is, you can always manually wipe it, and keep the nowipe just in case you need to roll back.
Consider this scenario: you install Overcome 4.1, and applied a mod or a patch or whatever and didn't like it and need to revert without reinstalling everything.
If you have the nowipe version, just apply it, and all will be back to Overcome standard, with data intact.
So it is useful to have the nowipe version handy, and if wipe is needed, just manually wipe from CWM.
Do you know of a JB version?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Sure. CM10 and AOKP SGT7 JB.
Both are in development subforum.
They are not Samsung ROM. all open source based.

[Q] GT-P1000 Queries

Hello everyone, a neighbour has given me his Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000, requesting me to flash a stock firmware on it. But, before I do so I have a few basic queries.
:silly:
Consequently, I intend on discussing all my queries pertaining to the said device under this thread I have created, rather than creating individual threads and cluttering this sub-forum.
I intend on flashing the P1000XWJP9, a stock Gingerbread (2.3.6) firmware of the United Kingdom/Ireland region. Hence, do I need to use the gt-p1000_mr_PIT PIT file and the dbdata.tar file while flashing the aforementioned stock firmware? Also, am I required to keep the Re-Partition option enabled in PC ODIN before commencing the flashing procedure?
My neighbour's device details are as follows -
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000DDJP4
Kernel version: [email protected] #4
Build number: GINGERBREAD.DDJPA
After reading Chainfire's [25.01.2011] WARNING! Do not flash JM*,KA*... README! [Patch released, L/N supported] thread, I learnt that all Gingerbread firmwares have signed bootloaders, but flashing custom kernels and custom firmwares should not be an issue.
Personally, I was keen on rooting my neighbour's device through CF Root, using the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip file, but he is not one bit interested in rooting. So, I have to respect his decision, and make do with just flashing a stock firmware.
I await your expertise, and I thank you all for your patience with my naive queries.
Upon researching further, I learnt about restocking. A massive thank you to priyana, whose signature provides the link to the highly acclaimed Overcome Installation Guide.
:good:
Following the Overcome guide, I believe I could just restock my neighbour's device using the GB-Stock-Safe-v5 package and leave as it is, which would give the device the JQ1 stock Gingerbread (2.3.6) firmware.
But, for the sake of my curiosity, I am keen on learning and thus knowing, if the gt-p1000_mr_PIT and dbdata.tar files along with the Re-Partition option being enabled, are compulsory requirements if I intend on flashing the P1000XWJP9, or any other stock Gingerbread (2.3.x) firmware?
I am aware my queries are naive, but they aid in my learning.
Awaiting your helpful replies.
repartition will be needed if you are returning to stock from custom ROM that uses different partitioning scheme.
It does kind of reformat your storage too, so it is up to you.
I never use dbdata.tar on its own, although I am aware of a few methods that uses that.
If you are using Overcome's method, you use everything that comes in the GB-stock-safe-v5

Presently, my neighbour's device is on the JPA stock Gingerbread (2.3.3) firmware, and thus going by your reply, it is clear I do not require the Re-Partition option be enabled. But, I do need the PIT file while flashing another stock Gingerbread (2.3.x) firmware, right?
Also, if I were to root the device based on its current JPA stock firmware, could I use the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip file to do so?
I await your further assistance.
PIT is partition information table.
You only need pit file to repartition.
So no, you dont need pit file.

CM9.1 flashing issue
Hello everyone, my neighbour suddenly decided, and as such has given me the green signal to root and flash a custom firmware on his GT-P1000.
As the device was on the JPA stock Gingerbread (2.3.3) firmware, I restocked using the GB-Stock-Safe-v5 package, and rooted the device flashing the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar file via PC ODIN.
I was keen on flashing the CyanogenMod Ice Cream Sandwich custom firmware (CM9.1), and thus copied the cm-9.1.0-p1.zip and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip files onto the root of the Internal SD. After that, I booted the device into the CWM custom recovery and performed the 3 wipes (data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache). Subsequently, I chose the CM9.1 zip file to be flashed.
But here is where I hit a roadblock. The device kept rebooting and thus displaying the CyanogenMod boot screen. This continued into what seemingly was, sort of a loop. As of now, I have only restocked the device again.
:fingers-crossed:
Should I have used the Overcome kernel instead of the CF modified kernel? I am still unsure what went wrong whilst attempting to flash the CyanogenMod custom firmware.
I await your expertise.
From stock, you need to flash cm9.1 3 times, not just one.

priyana, thank you very much for your valuable response.
I have not understood your advise about flashing CM9.1 three times, and thus humbly implore you to kindly elaborate further, possibly laying out the procedure.
I thank you for your patience and await your further guidance.
Just do exactly like I said. Flash the Rom zip 3 times.
While doing it, try to read what the screen shows.
First flash typically replaces your kernel, and you return to cwm but no longer cwm 4 or 5 from cf-root or overcome. Likely it will be cwm6 from cm/humberos.
Second flash may say something about converting your partition from bml to MTD.
Third flash will say things about flaring your system. That will be the real Rom, and it takes longer than the first two.
Most newbie just flash once and when returned to new cwm, they thought it is a boot loop. The key is, read the screen.

CM9.1 flashing issue
priyana, thank you very much for your clarified response.
:good:
Kindly pardon my naive behaviour, but do I have to flash the CM9.1 zip file three times manually, or do I choose the option 'install zip from SD card', select the said zip file once, and the process will automatically initiate three times?
I humbly implore you to continue guiding me, and I thank you for your immense patience.
No. Manually 3 times.
