[Q] Pleaze help! Update.zip Clockmod recovery???

Hi,
I miss read a guide to upgrade my phone from darky's 8.0 to 9.3 and deleted the update.zip file on the root of my phone and put the rom on the root of my sd... is it the right thing to do or should have I kept the upadate.zip? should I rename the new Rom to update.zip (the tutorial doesn't mention it...)?
I know i'm new here but I made some research and didn't find nothing about what happen when u delete it....
Thanks in advance for the quick answer!
Edit: I think I got it close thread thx
Its fine to remove update zip . As for the rest its a Darky so i have not got a clue as to what his instructions are .

once you have clockword-rcovery there is no use for update.zip...
BTW, when do you use apply update.zip on CWM?
Thanks
only once when you are rooting phone. and for flashing roms choose "install zip from sd card" and than you choose your zip file and flash it.

stock update.zip is not necesarry with 2e recovery on custom kernels.

stock rom (rooted)

This is a clockworkmod back up of the Hero_C_Sprint_2-1.27.651.5_R mod!! I rooted then made this recovery. For anybody that doesn't want to go through the load of @#$% I had to go through to update my prl. Just unzip and put in the clockworkmod/backup folder on your sd card then you can install it from Rom manager or recovery.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22765899/stock.zip
Shows error code 404.
Sorry about that didn't realize it would take that long to upload to dropbox. Should be good now.

You don't flash it. You need to restore it - it's a nandroid backup, not a ROM.
Sorry, I'm new to this. I did download ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 using Method I, don't know if I did it correct. Did not see anything different then, don't know if I was supposed to. I did unzip your stock.zip but don't see the clockworkmod/backup folder. Do I use Rom Manage to install from Recovery. Hopefully only one last question, do you have the RUU 1.56.651.1. That is what was original on my phone and where I want to end up. I really appreciate all the help. I'll never upgrade again without thorough research. This has been a nightmare.

If you don't see the clockworkmod/backup folder on your SD card, trying backing up your current ROM first. That will create the folder if it doesn't exist. Then you put the unzipped files from stock.zip under the backup folder. Open ROM Manager, select Manage and Restore Backups, and then select the folder with those unzipped files.
do you lose root if you do this to update the prl?

He says it's rooted, so you shouldn't.
You won't lose root if you use it to update prl and profile, just don't click on update software. Then the software patch could revert you to stock.

[ROM] CWM Backup of 3.2 Update

http://www.yanluk.com/files/10.1V_3.2_CWMupdate.zip
Use CWM to recover it to your tab.
OK I tried to flash a custom kernel from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ it did flash but there is no changes in system tab, neither can I enable USB charging
hi.. first of all thank you very much for sharing the update that fast..
I want to flash this rom but I'm not sure if I have to do something in particular like flashing old recovery or something... I'm now on isi's cm9 with his custom recovery.
Thanks

Just download the file, unzip it to your tab to folder clockworkmod, but in to recovery, do a backup of your current setup just in case, and than restore a backup of the file you downloaded.
Is this rooted?
It's v3.2 or v3.2.1 ?

just reporting that everything went fine. I'm now on 3.2.1 (not rooted).. thanks
Thanks Yanluk, I've been waiting for this.
I seem to be missing something though. your backup contains files for example "system.ext4.tar" when I boot into CWM and choose to restore the backup it says it cant find the system file, it seems to be expecting system.img.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Did you unzip the included folder to clockworkmod/download folder?

I extracted it to clockworkmod/backup folder, same as the backup I made of my existing ROM.
The backup I made works just fine, and restores without a hitch, the backup I downloaded fails to restore properly due to the .ext4.tar vs .img files.
What I'm trying to figure out is, am I just doing it completely wrong, or is my version of CWM/ROM Manager somehow different.
Anyone keen to write a small guide? Especially coming from ISI's CM9 Rom? Keen to try.
.tar backup means it was created with CWM 5. CWM 4 can only handle .img backup.
So you should use CWM 5.
This backup works like a charm, but the baseband is not updated, it's still P7100BUKDF.

1- Make a backup of your current ROM.
2- Put the folder in the zip file in clockworkmod/backup folder
3- If you were on isi's 4.0.4 ICS, you should also have cwm 5.5.0.4, if not flash this build
4- Boot to cwm and restore from the new folder.
That's it. Enjoy

The radio remains the same as what you had on before flashing this. To update the radio we need the original OTA file from someone who has received the update. Instructions on how to get it has been posted here in previous posts.
All above is right. You need CWM 5.X.X.X
To root download first file from first post (tabrooteasy.zip) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386545
Put on your tab and install with CWM.
Thanks makbil and Yanluk, much appreciated. Will test shortly. I was copying the folder to the Clockworkmod\Download folder. no wonder it wasn't working
This Rom is from CWM 4.0.0.4. Rom is Rootet.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlr768ivhnz3v62/clockworkmod.zip
Easy way to root
It's easy to root the update, especially if you are coming from isi's ICS ROM.
I'm assuming you have already flashed the OTA update to 3.2.1.
1- Download this file from New and Easy way to ROOT and CWM 5.0.2.7 thread.
2- Copy Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip from that file to your device SD card.
3- Turn off tablet.
4- Boot into bootloader. (Power & Vol down buttons)
5- Go into fastboot. (You should see fastboot at the top left of your screen)
6- Connect to your PC.
7- fastboot boot recovery.img (Recovery 5.5.0.4 recommended). Wait, the tab will boot to recovery.
8- Install file Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip
9- Reboot
10- Done!
Now you should have root on your device.
Which is the recommended Baseband for the 3.2 update? I am still using the P7500XXKL3 version?

Thanks, extracted the modem.bin file from the OTA zip, and flashed with Odin. Working perfectly and reporting the correct baseband.
Thanks again.

Yes, just flash it....It makes no difference where you put the update.zip, you can also delete it afterwards...it installs the files to the correct places
