[Q] New Tablet Help

Hey guys..
I have been using Xperia x10 from some time... sold it yesterday and baught this tab...
So, Now i have seen every where on these forums dnt have the clearity how to make things work..
So far i have rooted my device..
Now, i was looking for a new theme for my stock rom
BB P1000DDJJ1
Build no.
FROYO.DDJK3
Kernel ver. is 2.6.32.9..
Now can anyone please tell me how to get started to install the themes , custom recovery ( if requied to do so), boot animations and framework-res.apk (must neded).. please i have looked all over but dont knw how to get started..
( i m new new to all these .. have everything modified on my Xperia X10)

First of all: Welcome to the world of tabs.
So where to start?
Custom recovery: ClockWorkMod (CWM is the one you probably mean and want). While not mandatore, it will make your flashing-life easier. It can be most easily obtained by flashing an appropriate kernel, such as the Overcome Kernel.
As for the rest: The Overcome installation guide, found as an attachment to the first post in the thread linked above, explains everything very well and it is also applicable for other ROMs than the Overcome one.
As far as themes are concerned, they are usually installed by putting the relevant ZIP on your internal SD-card and then installing the ZIP through CWM.
I'm not really sure what else you want to do with your tab exactly so just keep asking for the missing pieces.

first of all "thanks for the reply bro"..
I hav looked upon the link... its a a custom rom... but i am not able to see its requirements like required BB or Build number... so is it compatable for my version?
secondly ..
whats the procedure to backup my current ROM ( factory rom) coz if something goes wrong or if i need to flash back ...
3rldy full wipe is compulsary?? and
lastly it says " NO Modem Included" whats modem and from where will i get my modem..?

Baseband (BB):
I assume your Tab is a GSM-variant? It should be according to the baseband. Then you can go ahead.
Now what does the BB-code mean?
BB = Baseband
P1000 = Your phone's model number
DD = Country Sales Code (CSC) for India
JJ1 = Now I'm stuck. *blushes* I guess your modem.
You will find additional usefull information in the Galaxy Tab Bible
Build:
This is "just" your firmware. Once you flash it, it's gone.
FROYO = Self expplantory
DD = India, once again.
JK3 = Your firmware version. If you are looking for a kernel, make sure it is compatible.
Which once again makes me blush since I have not made sure that the Overcome kernel is compatible. Another great kernel would be Chainfire's CF-Root. However it's not listed as JK3-compatible.
So I guess you will need to take the long way for your first flash and use Odin to flash a newer ROM as well as an appropriate kernel for future explorations.
Since the first official Gingerbread ROM has just been released by Samsung, your timing regarding first flashing experiments is impeccable.
Backup:
People around here seem to love Rotohammer's backup method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850359
So who am I to argue? My original firmware is lost for all eternity and I don't miss it
Full Wipe:
Sometimes it is recommended, sometimes not. From my own experience it is best to do a wipe if the ROM's author tells you so or if you install a new ROM from a different author.
Titanium Backup (there might be others) is your friend here: it backup s all your apps and data and restores them after a wipe. It does require root, though. However your tab is already rooted so you're good to go.
Just one caveat: In my experience restoring system data might sometimes lead to problems. If in doubt, wipe again and restore the user apps+data only.
No modem:
For Overcome this just means that it will keep your existing modem file. Though you might replace it with one that suits you.

I assume that JK3 symbolises my modem ( not sure ) as on rom page it says : JK3 modem "... and in your opinion what shud i do.. please help .. dnt want myself in any trouble ... lol
and is samsungs 2.3 official out? and shud i flash that? .. badly confused..!

Then JK3 is the version of your ROM and the version of your modem. So the easiest way to determine what JJ1 is (any more experienced user would probably know ... ah well ...) is to plug it to your computer and see what Kies spits out.
Regarding what to do next:
You could search for a kernel with JK3-support to flash any ROM of your choice more easily and with less risks involved (since your phone does everything itself, so you remove the risks of accidental unplugging or your computer/Odin acting up at an inopportune moment).
Or you could go ahead and directly flash a custom ROM with a new kernel through Odin.
The two things you will need to consider however are
1. locales: does the ROM support the language(s) you need?
2. APNs: Do you know the settings of your APNs? If neither you nor the ROM do, you might be without any data connection until you enter the APNs (which you should be able to find through Google or by asking your Operator; they are not secret).
The current JQ1 might not meet you requirements since it was released for Italy.
Edit: I forgot to mention in regard to you saying you don't want to get yourself into trouble: read the instructions and the relevant guides (Chainfire's instruction for installing his kernel and the Overcome installation guide are thorough and widely applicable) then you should not be getting yourself into more trouble then you want by deciding to flash your device anyway. But you probably already know that from your experience with the X10.

[Q] Need root only for backup

Hello to all,
can anyone please advise, which file should i install that would suit my firmware best !
Model number:GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BOJV8-CL273008 root DELL154 #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BOJV8
I really appreciate if anyone could help me.
Thanks to all

Try the CF-Root kernel.
Sent from hell to take your soul

Thank you, Lunchbox for your fast reply !
But there are many CF-Root-Kernels.
Which one is the right ?
Sorry, but I am a newbie in Kernel-choice....

if you cant be bothered flashing kernels etc here is the the superoneclick method...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuaXu8kusvA
just follow that and you will be rooted, then get titanium backup and do a batch backup

Use CF-Root for the JPO firmaware you have. Each kernel has the firmware extension at the end of its file name.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Superoneclick I have testet, but without success .
Does kernel JPO really fit my kernel JV8 ??

Same problem here.
After updating a t-mobile branded I9000 to 2.3.3 via KIES (including wipe) my programs and settings are gone.
All data has been saved in TitanBackup. Unfortunatly TB needs root.
SOC didn't work, now I'm looking for alternatives.
Heard, that cf-root can fix my prob, but still got following questions:
will cf-root work on my branded galaxy?
which cf-root version do I need?
Screeningsleeper

Is there no solution available ?

As far as I know it is possible to root the Galaxy with the FuguRoot.
One thing that is still missing is the correct Odin flashable stock kernel.
Till now there is no kernel for the I9000BOJV8 available at Samfirmware.
I'll keep looking for the kernel.
Hoping to get a quick solution.

Did anyone have new ideas for rooting the T-Mobile Gingerbread?
After long time of searching the web I still found nothing relevant.

Nobody a solution for rooting phone without flashing the ROM for T-Mobile branded PV8 gingerbread?

Same problem here, still waiting .

A week ago I flashed my. T-Mobile with. 2.3
5 JVS and rooted it. Now all is running well.

Yesterday, with the help of this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050, I manage to turn my 6h eating battery brick, into a real rooted phone, thank you guys!

I also upgraded FW from 2.2 to 2.3.3 via kies last week and lost my root - but flashed this to my phone and got root back. link to where to get it:

Odin 1.82: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1IKLKDPB
Just open Odin, put the tar file as PDA, put the phone in download mode, plug it in, wait for the box under ID:COM to go yellow and the 'added!' message and hit start. It will be done in a few seconds. Install superuser and busybox from the market to see if it works.
Like I said earlier it didn't work right away for me, superuser just FC'd on the first boot. Not sure if it was reflashing or rebooting that fixed it. Just a warning that some tinkering might be required.

OK, Problem solved.
Using the Easy rooting toolkit created by DooMLoRD from here.
Works like a charm for my Galaxy I9000 (PDA I9000BOJV8, Phone I9000XXJVO, CSC I9000GDTMJV7) wih german T-Mobile branding.
Rooting took 3 Minutes, no Problems with this.

Need root only for backup
Hello xda-developers.com
I need some help according to this title "Need root only for backup" I hope I am here correctly.
My problem is:
The Phone turns automatically off without doing anything.
I started it but it get's in a loading loop.
I don't want to make a reset until I backup the data from my phone contacts, pictures etc...
I read in an other forum that it is posible to flash only the kernel via ODIN CF-ROOT_....
to activate some mounts & storage - usb in recovery. So the PC can use the phone as USB device to copy all data from the phone to the PC. Is this correct?
If yes i will need the correct CF-ROOT for this version below i tryed to find the CF-ROOT for this version but I did not find it for my version. Can you help me please?
My phone can load the download mode.

The version *-v1.1* doesn't matter?
what means v1.1, Froyo v1.1?

USB storage in recovery mode not listed
Hello
I flashed the Kernel with CF-Root-JPK-v1.1 but i can not activate the USB storage in recovery mode. It's not listed.
Is this not possible or why is this not listed?
If backup my data in this way is not possible.
How can I backup my data from the Phone when the Phone is in a boot loop? :S

[Q] No Service after Installing Custom ROM

Hi,
I'm pretty new to the whole custom ROM scene and have come across a problem when installing CynogenMod version 10.1.3-RC2-galaxysmtd. I've been able to get everything else working but can't seem to get any network service or GPS.
I've read numerous articles on flashing a correct radio or installing a new modem (not sure if this is the same thing or not?) if you can't get any service but haven't done this yet. I've also read articles on moving the files from sdcard\backup\efs into the efs folder in the phone memory which I've tried but doesn't seem to work either.
My baseband version is I9000XXJVT and the rom is running on android 4.2.2. Before the ROM I'm currently on I came from a stock Gingerbread ROM. Was there something I needed to do when coming from a stock ROM that I missed?
Any help on this would be appreciated as I've hit a bit of brick wall
Thanks

Hey there,
So long story short, you've probably lost your IMEI. You can check this by going into Settings -> About Phone -> Status then scrolling down to IMEI. If it begins with 044 or something similar then you know you've lost it.
So to solve this:
1. Flash back to the stock Gingerbread you were on by means of Odin, there are many guides for this but the one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308 is quite comprehensive (and leave the OP a thanks as well)
2. Download CM9 from the Cyanogenmod website.
3 Root your S again (this will depend on which Gingerbread rom you flash).
4. Boot into CWM recovery. Do the usual data/cache/Dalvik wipes.
5. Install CM9. Let it boot. You don't need to download ICS gapps for CM9 as all you need it to do is boot.
The reason why you install CM9 is to make sure that the IMEI sticks when you then flash a JB rom. Flashing straight to JB from GB tends to lose the IMEI as said before.
6. Once you've let it boot, reboot into recovery again. You don't really need to do the same three wipes again. Install CM10.1.3 RC2. You'll need to flash the zip a few times- three times at least. Flash Gapps as well, of course.
That should hopefully make your signal reception and GPS work
(I covered this quite briefly so if you do need clarification on any of the steps don't hesitate to ask)

Hi
I checked and I do have an IMEI number which begins with 3 not 0. I also checked the IMEI number and it brought back the correct phone details.
Should I still follow the guid you have linked to or do I not need to do that?
Thanks.

Odd... If the IMEI is intact then you should be geting reception. What you could do is make a backup of your rom and then try the steps I suggested to see if you get the same problem.
Most likely however its due to your modem. In the development thread there's a list of modems compatible with the I9000. Try flash XXJW4 or one for your country through recovery and see if that fixes anything- if not, try the steps.

Bro I tried flashing persues kernel cause somewhere I have read that by flashing persues kernel you can get the phone back to normal.
So I flashed the kernel and after that it showed me baseband number but imei was showing me only 0 nothing else.
I updated the phone to 4.4.4 so check it will work or not but was of no use.
Can u help me by giving me the link of a complete stock with all the file for GT-I9305 uk version.

Hi,Mustakim_456,I would recommend you first to try this method-flash Param.bin from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
It's simple and quick,using Odin.Good look.If this doesn`t work, try to flash ROM stock from here:http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305
You will find versions 4.1.2;4.3 and 4.4.4.

Cant Downgrade to 4.1.1 from 4.4.4. on i9305

i9305 Imei shows null/null after flashing I9305XXUFNL1_DBTFNL1 which was a stock rom
Also no signal as you would guess
Now I cant even downgrade to any roms apart from 4.4.4.
Phoen is rooted and tried 4.1.1. I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5_I9305BVALI5 through Odin and Mobile ODIN
On Mobile odin phone looks like its working then stays on the SAMSUNG Logo for ages and nothing, just stays there
I have a Back up of an efs which I done through Rom Manager but not sure if its corrupted or how to restore it
If someone coud give me a walkthrough :highfive:

Hi,
About IMEI null/null with 4.4.4 firmware, you should search in this Q/A forum, there a lot of threads asking for this issue. Maybe you should get an answer yourself
However, you should try again to do a clean flash of latest official 4.4.4 firmware with ODIN v3.09 by following this GUIDE HERE from @MaHo_66.
AFAIK, it's impossible to downgrade from 4.4.4 because of KNOX bootloader. It has been said many times in this Q/A forum. Maybe it exists somewhere a tricky trick to do it but I'm not aware of this.

In Addition to @FLooDW 's answer:
Try to use Philz 6.48.4 or 6.59.0 as your recovery rather then TWRP or the old CWM (6.0.4.7), especially DON'T use the latest TWRP from their official website, its a broken build and its known to mess up the partitions! That could be your problem if you have done that before...
Any recovery you want to use, download from my RECOVERY/GUIDE thread that FLooDW linked to you, use those they work fine.
PS. before flashing official firmware with ODIN, make sure you have a custom recovery installed, then boot into recovery, wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache/internalSD/boot/modem etc. this is to ensure when you have flashed the firmware, there is nothing left from the previous firmware that was installed.
Note: when explaining your issue, try to do that by providing as much as possible info about your actions before and after the problem occured, that way anyone who wants to help can help you the best way possible.

Really helpful addition !

Trying what you guys have mentioned just now, let you know as soon as :good:
What 4.4.4. om do you suggest?
Also the efs I backed up (not sure if its working or not as it was with Rom Manager)
How do I restore, can it be done with root explorer?
Tried the [ROM][i9305][18.10.15]>>>4.4.4<<<[KK][STOCK][TW][STABLE][+AROMA] S5 Elite Lite v4.0
which I posted a few days ago, left a post with no reply and thats when I started getting the null/null

PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v5.9.5-4.4.x_I9305_AROMA
Currently trying this rom.. watching the installation set up and says so far that set_perm: some changes failed
used philz_touch_6.59.0-i9305
Rebooting and stays on Samsung Galaxy boot screen ??

AGNi is not a ROM, this is a kernel. Did you flash AGNi kernel over official Samsung firmware ?
As MaHo_66 said, you have to explain more what you have done and what you need if you want us to help you.

Steps :
reflashed a Stock Rom then Rooted it then added Philz Recovery
Then Tried this rom : I9305XXUFNL1_O2UFOB1_4.4.4_KK.zip
Currently trying various modems to see what this gives me
Failing this will need to try QPTS or EFS Professional again.
* I know how to flash and root roms if you look at my signature along with kernels I am basically telling you what I have tried to get
this null/null away as I think its a baseband/modem issue somewhere as I have read various posts and some people agree.
Cant even do the *#197328640# or *#*#197328640#*#* to get into certain modes
Thinking it maybe the sim card slot now .......... I am losing my mind now!

There are few other possible solutions you could try:
- try this, it shows you how to get in service mode and the restoring of the golden efs backup, that should be present if its good.
If above doesnt work, then try the one below.
- have you tried to flash the param_bin file? if not try that with ODIN, it might work.. file attached.
Let us know how it goes.

H yes tied that file and didnt work
will the imei work from another phone or efs?
isnt that link just gps?
