[Q] My lesson learned while trying to update Android on GT-P1000! - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
Just thought I'd put a quick post about my weekend experience, I learned a lesson that I must read the whole page before trying something.
My journey started out trying to update my GT-P1000 to ICS, I read an androidauthority article on how to do it (pretty much first Google page)
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-p1000-clockworkmod-recovery-118602/
I back tracked seeing I have to install Clockworkmod-recovery, I done what it said in the guide - then got to a bit when it got stuck at the Samsung Logo - this is where I start to panic and read the post a bit more. I then read in the comments - don't do this at home as it doesn't work.... Frantically I search the Internet and found a way to get a bit further but still not good enough as it now gets passed the Samsung logo but now it reboots itself.
I then came onto here and followed the link below from priyana and I could feel at ease once again, I followed the overcome GB stock safe v5 with odin and I was happy again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2053070
I really will learn my lesson from this I hope and read further.
Does anyone have a good link on xda-developers to take it from 2.3.3 to a version of ICS given that I've just used the GB stock safe?
Regards,
Dave.

Hi there.
Since you have seen the guide and use overcome restock method.
Just follow the same guide, with a little bit of difference.
Follow the link again in my signature, download overcome kernel 4.0 tar, it gives cwm 5.
Also download ICS ( cm9 or aokp ICS your pick). Download gapps-ics.
Place Rom file and gapps-ics in sdcard.
Flash overcome kernel tar using Odin, exactly as per the pdf guide.
One difference from the guide.
After flashing complete don't bother to wait for robotic voice. Just force tab off. Then immediately boot to cwm recovery ( this come with overcome kernel you flashed).
Use cwm to flash ICS, then when done, flash gapps-ics, only then reboot.

Can I just say thank you for your useful post about GB stock....
I thought I'd bricked my device and was bricking itself
I'll follow your guide in this thread as well.

[Q]Should I use CWM or odin to flash 4.0rom like romow?

I know this is a very stupid question but I just want to make sure flashing with CWM is viable.
For the leaked stock ics 4.0 rom I know I should use odin to flash, but how about custom 4.0 rom like Romow? Should I use CWM to flash the zip file?
Thx~
ps: I am currently running rocketrom v19 with CWM
use CWM n flash zip

You should read in the post how must it be done, you should start in annual kernel 3.9 then install chainfire.repack and so on
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
There are no instructions in romow's thread and that's why i am here to ask for any further instructions. I bet flashing a 4.0custom rom is similar to flashing Gingerbread rom. Am i right?
Also, some ppl claimed that I need to first flash the stock leaked 4.0 rom then have my phone rooted with CWM installed and finally flash custom 4.0 rom with CWM. Is that really necessary?

There are better roms now than ROMOW's one i think, try flashing Rocket Rom, or the new AOSP
From the instructions given in [02/24/12][Team Rocket ROM][open beta ICS v4.0.3][v1.5][15Tooglebar] daily ROM now! , it seems I really have to flash the leaked ics rom first before installing the rocketrom 4.0.3 rom, is that true? That means I cannot directly install the ics rocketrom from any gingerbread custom rom?

PROBLEMS!
Just have to ask it right here as well...I went to romow yesterday for testing reasons (just flashed the zip in cwm) but I have to go back since there are too many bugs imao atm.
Just tried to go back to my CWM Backup....now I´m stucked at the bootanimation!
Do you guys know what could be the reason here? And what I could do to get my nandroid backup working again?

Did you flash 4.0.3 directly from gingerbread rom? BTW I've heard many people say their phones were stuck in the bootscreen(The samsung N7000 with no boot animation) when they tried to go back from ics to gingerbread. Seems this is a common problem....

Yes, I came directly from GB!
If you can load the boot animation that means ur phone is not bricked. You should try to download a stock gingerbread rom from dr ketan's post and flash it by odin pc.

When going back to GB, i kinda 'restart' the whole process by going back to Stock ROM via Odin, and redo the root and CWM.
Else, there are strange quirky issue ex. CWM just hangs while wiping the phone.
Hey Kelvin Fong & J.wong, thank you guys for your support!
Sorry for noobing around from now on...I´m not exactly the newest guy when it comes to these flash-things, but I have to admit that I´m kind of confused now...
I tried to find dr. ketans thread (this one?) but I´m not getting into his post (sorry for that, as I said: I´m confused!):
dr.ketan said:
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.

Should be this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997).
Firstly, download one of the roms from [Older ROMs (Directly Rootable)].
Secondly, follow the [Installation Guide For Older ROM ], the one using odin pc.
You may see below another flashing method using mobile odin, but that doesn't suit you since that one requires your phone rooted before and will keep your root after flashing. The one with odin pc will wipe out all your data and apps(of course not your SD card) and also unroot your phone. That means your CWM and root will all be gone and you have to follow another post to root it again(now this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)
this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997)teaches you how to flash a rootable gingerbread rom, but not rooted. This one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)shows you how to root your phone and install CWM. I think these two posts are the best tutorials you are looking for.
I think you should download this >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=907734&d=1329574136
This one is better organized.
Thanks mate! Saved it to my desktop...but finally i was able to manage the problem by simply flashing a *fresh* RocketRom again (?!). I thought it would be worth a try...
Anyway: Thank you very much for your support, it´s good to still meet that friendly kind of people with patience here on the board (it´s getting less these days) hope i´ll be able to return the favor in future
You are welcome! Please note your binary counter may increase if you flash a rooted rom like rocketrom you've mentioned above directly via odin.

As far as I remember I made my very first steps with odin after I reveived my note (root, cwm)...rocket has been flashed by using cwm. But yes, my binary counter increased definitely...
...I do have a USB Jig, but in some was I am kind of afraid of going trough this! To fumble around in pure darkness...hmmm i don´t know
Have you tried it yourself?
Actually I've got a yellow triangle together with increased binary counter as I followed another tutorial guide(I should follow dr ketan's guide before).
I think removing the counter with a jig is way too dangerous for me so I don't want to risk it. Simply remove the counter only when you really need to bring your phone to samsung because maybe you don't even have to claim the warranty at all.

Weirdest Brick'd Situation! Help Needed!

Ok, Guys my first post here in XDA, Forgive me For any Liable Mistakes I do!
So, here's the story , There's this friend of mine Who has A Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 , OS version Was Froyo 2.2. So he wanted get all the glory by upgrading it to 2.3.3 gingerbread, And He screwed it up. I dunno to what extent , he used odin to upgrade. . and the problem here is he did it more than 6 or 7 times, now it doesn't even boot up, white screen while switching it on , and yes it is able to go to the download mode so i guess its a softbrick. .and now him getting all scared he asked me to Get it all back to normal, so i used odin 1.7 saw the How to's here at XDA followed every procedure to upgrade it to 2.3.3. And it was a Big PASS. but when it rebooted it always loops at the boot where Samsung logo appears.
now we both do not know the exact version of the PDA files to download from Sammobile firmwares as the thing is bricked! from the first place!
now , all i wanna do is either just get it back to stock 2.2 and then Follow every step correctly to upgrade it to 2.3.3 or better or Directly go to a Newer version!
without any hassle. Please do let me know if a similar thread is Availaible , cause i searched a few and i couldn't find one which legitimizes with my problem
Help is delightfully Appreciated!
Thanks In Advance Guys
My recommendation, since you can still reach Download mode.
restock using Overcome Method:
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try ICS AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
priyana!
I will follow that. And Update about it Alright!
And thanks a Ton For the help!

[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
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
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.

[Q] Need help - Startup twlauncher Crash

hello there,
i had to do a factory reset, and whatever i try now i simply get a black screen after bootup and a message like "twlauncher stopped" ("twlauncher angehalten", german version) which i can just confirm, that's all.
tried this w/o any success: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733184
does anyone have an idea what to do?
thanks in advance
S.
The thread you applied for is for SII., I beleieve you possess S-Note. First of all, the details of your device, such as GB or ICS, Stock or Custom Rom, and which kernel. The members could give you their expert advice only when they know full details of the problem. It is OK. Can you go to downloading mode? ie Volume down + Power buttons for 10 secs. if so flash a stock GB thru PC-Odin. Read relevant threads how to flash GB vis PC-Odin.
thanks for the quick answer, i feared that re-flashing might be the only way.
never did that before, but the howtos i saw did look pretty good
as of now i have stock rom, rooted on it.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
flashing a GB rom thru PC-Odin is a detailed procedure. 1. download PC-odin and install it on your PC. 2. Select a Stock GB of your choice (may be your country). 3. check what setting to be there in PC-Odin etc. But all these details are available in the forum. dr.ketan guide in this forum is very usefull. before flashing, read everything, only when you are confident, do it.
Thanks for the hint, did as described in the "dr.ketan guide" using the german open stock rom and everything is back to normal again.

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.

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.

I hope you do not mind me asking clarifications for your instruictions. Your guide said 'jump to .. flash overconme" - where does that part start.

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.

Overcome links are all down. Any alternatives? (Rooted gt-p1000 2.3.3 Gingerbread DXJPI
Come on,
a little search in overcome thread and should spot it.
Here is the spoiler
http://tabfirmware.com/2012/01/romk...e-7-series-v4-1-0-♫-overcome-kernel-v4-0-0-♫/
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 ;-(
Any help appreciated. pls, pls, pretty pls.
Don't want a bricked Tab would make me sad
Here is the kernel (tar format for Odin, zip isn't the one you want I guess)

I recommend first upgrading to 2.3.3, then flashing chainfire's modded cwm via odin:

and then flashing overcome via cwm:

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?
