Hey all so I currently have an unlocked bootloader, rooted Nexus One still running the Stock Froyo 2.2.2. and I decided to finally upgrade to the OTA Gingerbread update but have a problem.
The OTA update restarts my phone with a triangle with an "!" inside it and an Android next to it, so I decided to try a manual update as described here.
Everything went well until the installation itself, during the install I kept getting some sort of error stating Twitter.apk in the system directory could not be authenticated.
So here's the problem, with Titanium Backup I made the stupid mistake of uninstalling it and not backing it up when I first rooted a while ago. I thought I could just reinstall it from the market but I get the same error. The only solution I can think of is if someone running a Nexus One Stock Froyo could possibly send me the Titanium Backup files of Twitter, hopefully this would make it work, otherwise I don't think I could ever update.
Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot to install a custom recovery and then flash whatever you want (including a stock image)...

Thanks for the response, but I'm having trouble figuring some of this stuff, after spending some time with the search option here in XDA:
1. I don't the difference between custom recovery and flashing an image.
2. I can't find a simple stock Gingerbread image (thought its called ROM?) Details in posts tend to be vague for people that are learning this stuff, like me.
3. Many people have written to use Amron_ra 2.2.1 but I don't know the specifics of each ROM are (ex. if its Froyo based, Gingerbread based, etc.)
4. Would using ROM Manager be a good method to use any ROM or is it limited?
I'm essentially looking for an effective method to upgrading to a clean Gingerbread, since doing it the normal way won't work on my phone (as stated in my first post).
1 - Recovery, bootloader, and 'ROM' are two different partitions on you phone. Once you break security on one, you can use it to break the security on the other. In your case, the security on your bootloader is broken (unlocked), so you can use it to install new software on the other partitions.
2 - See bullet 4 on the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005591
3 - For recovery you have 2 choices, Amon Ra or Clockwork, If you go with Clockwork, I recommend you stay away from 3.x versions. Unless the ROM you want to install says otherwise, either of these recoveries will work.
4 - ROM Manger will work. It's an easy way to achieve results, but unless you know what you are doing, it's also an easy way to screw things up.
I suggest you take it a step at at a time, and really understand what you are doing. Reading the wiki is always a good start, then ask specific questions...

Thanks Danger, I made the jump to Cyanogen 7, RC-4 via ROM Manager and couldn't be happier! Only problem is the known audio bug for Nexus One (person on other end of a call hears a lot of static sometimes, and have to recall them). The forced apps2sd is by far my most favourite feature, especially since the N1 internal space is pretty horrible, I've moved most of my apps2sd and haven't had any problems thus far.
Thanks for recommending CM7, I just wish their website listed the full features for newbies like me.
Thanks danger-rat http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...lick-doesnt-work-gingerbread-2.html#post93952
I downgraded my gingerbread to froyo
Was pulling my hair out with a lame guide in the general section
Congrats!!

Seen an alpha 3 ICS rom. Can I just download that and flash it over my current rom or does it habecto be done certain way. I've flashed before on my evo but this seems a little bit more complicated
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
I'd rather go the full procedure they describe within their thread - imho especially you have needs for clockworkmod. Found that to be a quite safe way for me.
I would I just don't have access to a pc. Does ICS run fine on your tablet. Is it worth it
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Once you have CWM Recovery installed, getting the ICS Alpha on your tab is not difficult if it's listed as supported in the thread.
Only thing: This is an ALPHA build. That means many things are not functional. The build is aimed at developers/testers.
Having given a shot at it, this build is surely not a daily driver for someone who needs its tab to be functional and reliable. Many of those problems have work arounds however but since the tablet is not mostly used by myself, I did not take the risk of having it be unreliable...
In short: it should work and not eat your hamster... But it is not a fully functional rom yet, be prepared for some trouble... Be sure you know how to go back in case of trouble... and read instructions carefully
If you want a good ICS rom here ya go. FYI!!! THIS IS FOR CDMA TABS!!!
Get rooted and CWM'd via Rodderick's thread in our Development section.
From there do the following (all credit to JT from here on out)
Download http://k.22aaf3.com/jt1134/vzwtab/cwm-recovery-5.0.2.7.tar
Extract the contents. You will have two files zImage and recovery.bin
Odin these two files to your tab while your tab is plugged in to the PC and in Download mode. This will bring your clockworkmod up to 5.0.2.7 which is a must to install the rom I'm about to link.
Next go to this thread
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11697-rom-cdma-aosp-ics-cm9-build-31-0104-x-2/
At the bottom of the first post download the 3.1 ROM the 3.1 Patch and the gapps files.
Once those are downloaded boot your tab up to normal operations and plug it into your PC again. Now transfer those three files to your tab.
Boot up into clockwork recovery wipe the cache, dalvik, and do a factory data reset. Then flash the 3.1 file first, then flash the 3.1 Patch, then flash the gapps files.
If everything says it installed correctly the only things that won't be working are camera (which it does work in panorama mode) and possibly 3G. (Never tested 3G as I only use wifi).
Can you please post pictures and how can I check which cwm I already have? If I already have 5.0 can I just go ahead and flash? One more thing is this a whole new ICS or the ones going around. Thank you much
So I checked and I got 4.0 cwm. With that said. I don't have access to a pc. Is there any other way to upgrade to 5.0 cwm? PLEASE someone reply with yes. I'm getting bored with this andcwpuld like to try ICS. Thanks

Without access to a PC I think you are making life very difficult for yourself.
You do not state what Tab you have; below I linked to the install for the P1010 only...I did this for reference because you will see it required Odin to flash it i.e. access to a PC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20195348&postcount=1
Thank for the reply. Yeah I know it makes it, harder just seeing if there was a way around it. I'm playing with the sprint galaxy tab. Not much to play with out there for it.
What is the difference with these 2 and which one should i choose. I got the alpha 3 right now
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Hm... I'll chosse Cyanogenmod 9, I dont know because my tab is p1010 (no ics or cm9), but i think that Cyanogenmod is better.
Hey, did any of you try CM9? I tried 3 times and every time fail. Even after patched zImage came out. I can enter to recovery, do wipe factory, wipe cache but device doesn't boot. Stuck on inital GalaxyTab/SAmsung logo. Cant ask in correct thread as this is my first post.
I uploaded 1000L.zip, then with Heimdall uploaded zImage. Tried with 1000L.zip with replaced zImage in it but this zip can;t be installed (wrong file or sth).
Hi
i would download CM9 because GPS works
Do you know - what version of Google Voice Recognition is used in Alpha 3?
In CM9 you only have standard voice input without "open microphone" feature.
I've installed CM9, and it works, but it's an alpha and not for daily use. The developers are working hard, but there are no easily installable packages yet, or instructions how to get it installed or working. I started with Overcome 4.1, and got the current build. As it is, it's for the P1000L, so you have to get the P1000 kernel as well, and you have to replace the one in the ZIP with that one. You shouldn't just create a new ZIP, because it needs to be signed, and a new one won't be. Then you can update with recovery.
A lot of stuff works, but a number aren't, and as the phone is one of those not working (yet), people who want to just use the Tab probably shouldn't try this. If you like to get developing, or want to help out, know what you're doing and don't mind having a not fully functioning Tab, you can look up the the thread in the development section, get stuck in.
I installed CM9 yesterday and am LOVING it! I followed all directions from Humberos and others that are diligently working on bugs and have almost all functions working (calls/2g/3g/wifi/etc).
Camera doesn't work in normal functions, but will capture an image in panorama mode. This is coming along nicely!
CM9 and Alpha 3 has their good and bad, not to forget, both are still in testing stage and not meant for daily use at the moment.
For now it seems that cm9 has the upper hand in being more stable.
you could also try icedBoca... like the others, different things work
atm i'm on CM9 and most of the stuff works, but i can't connect to "hidden" wifi networks and internal sd / external sd mounting is a little bit mixed up
CM9 of course, I have the galaxy tab P1000N, and i have problems with alpha3 to much bugs and never fix them. Try to use CM9 with Humberos kernel, the room are much better and stable, free lag and never shut down. if u dont like try to use Boca rc1 final version
CM9
CM9 is better. I've tried both on my GSM P1000 and the CM9 is more refined and the repo is being constantly updated if you want to build it yourself.
Yep, CM9 is better but the Alpha 3 is good with few defaults...
I can't wait to flash the two...
What about HW acceleration with CM9 ? The build can play 720p but we don't know if we can play with big games like GTA...
CM9 is whole lot better, it has bluetooth, GPS and many more things working compared to Alpha 3. Today they have even declared USB Hosting is also working.
However, I would wait a little, till they incorporate all the small bugfixes in the ROM/Kernel.

Have you wiped dalvik cache?
BTW I recommend you to use the flashable kernel (Download Page then go to "CwM flashable - Kernel", press P1000 or the appropriate model and download)
In fact a flashable zip should be SignApp'd. Have you do this after you modified a flashable zip. Ask the best friend in the new era how!
One question.. are the roms like, interchangable? Can I switch to each ROMs as per needed?
Also, can I downgrade back to a 2.3 version of Android afterwards?

With CWM/Recoverymode ,no. The problem is the ext4 formating. It is only possible if you flash the firmware 2.3 complete new with odin.
I need a bit of urgent advice if possible. Having waited patiently for Samsung to release ICS for the P7310 which has never appeared in the UK, I'm trying to flash to JB (latest AOSP version) from the stock 3.2.
I've installed CWMOD 5.5.0.4 ok, and copied the update rom and gapps to the root of the tab. I've gone into CWMOD recover mode, wipe/reset and then selected the rom to install. It starts the install, then fails with the system error 7 message (seems to be fairly common). It obviously started the install but now I don't seem to be able to boot the tab into 3.2 anymore, it just sits at the boot logo and doesn't get any further. I'm happy to try another ROM (maybe CM10), but I need to transfer it to the device first, and ofcourse I can't do this within windows at the moment. Odin still runs and can talk to the tab, but I'm a bit lost at the moment.
I'm a bit new to all this, so could really do with some help.
Flash the stock Rom.with Odin. You can find it at sammobile.com. it'll bring you back to stock.and.you can start over again. You're soft bricked right now.

Cool. Thanks for that. I guess I just select the PDA option in Odin, and let it do its thing.
Any idea why this happens? I'd read a couple of threads about going from HC to ICS first, then to JB. Is this a requirement, or optional?
I'ver had similar problems finding a Rom that works on my i957. Never did find an ics that worked. I'm running jb from nrvate, but I think its specific to the i957. And, yes, flash just like you did the cm recovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
Really appreciate the replies. I've managed to get the tab back working under 3.2 (stock rom downloaded from SamFirmware), so that's a start. I still want to upgrade to JB if possible (or ICS if not). Am I likely to experience the same problem again? Is it worth going to ICS first? I've downloaded the stock US ICS rom, which i can flash using Odin. I can't see why this wouldn't work on a UK spec 8.9 wifi, but can anyone confirm if it does?
So, I'm back at square one, but really want to try and get this sorted.
Did you do a clean install when you tried to flash the jb Rom? I.e. factory reset, format/clear system and data. If not that probably is the problem. There should not be any benefit of flashing ics before jb. The one difference between the two is you most likely will have to flash a gapps (Google apps) package after the the jb flash. Not sure where you got the Rom, but the developer should have the gapp they recommend and instruction on how to do the flash. Every jb to Rom I've flashed has the gapps package flashed after the Rom and before rebooting.
I'd stick with a Rom specific for your device. I hard bricked my phone with the wrong Rom once. The US Rom probably does not have the correct radio for.you in the UK. I only use WiFi so don't care too much if I have the right radio or.not.

I've just tried again, and have hit the same problem, and have tried the AOSP rom and the CM10 rom this time. I did a wipe/factory reset beforehand, but the installer starts then just aborts with 'symlink: some symlinks failed' E:Error in /sdcard/<rom file name> (Status 7). Obviously the tab 8.9 doesn't have an sd card slot, but I thought the rom must be aware of this.
Where am I going wrong?
You might try to flash a different version of cwm I don't remember now how I found this link, but here is a link for Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6_P73xx.tar
http://www.sendspace.com/file/507gjv
just flash in Odin, like the ROM itself (in PDA section)
I use twrp but don't know where to find a version for your p7310.

You have a /sdcard directory despite the fact you have no physical external sdcard.

If reading that reply right, one specific stock rom does what's necessary, trouble is, that's a US stock rom, and I'm in the UK. Already had it confirmed that it wouldn't be good to install a US rom on a UK tab. Loads of people has flashed their tabs, so it can't be that difficult! I've just tried Overcome CwM v5.2.1.6 with the same AOSP and CM10 roms, but same error
Ok, silly question time, but does the tab need to be rooted to install these new roms successfully?
You don't need to be rooted, just the recovery installed. Not sure why you're having problems now other than I had a hell of a time getting a Rom installed too. I'd try a different Rom. I tried some yesterday and didn't get any of them to work well. At least you've learned how to recover from a soft brick. I've learned that lesson too, to many times!

Hi, dont know if this will help, but I have flashed the US ICS rom on my Swiss Tab 8.9, with no problems. There should be no issue with worrying about the wrong radio as stated previously, as the 7310 is the WIFI only model, so there should be no issue with 3G. The only thing which causes some issues is the screen flicker issue. If you flash the US gingerbread first, then the ICS, it seems to solve the issue. For mor info check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573548&page=50
Good luck!
Aaarrgggh! Frustrating, now I'm just getting 'hardware id not found' when I connect the tab to the PC!!! I can browse the device in Windows, but of course, Odin won't connect. How difficult can this really be!
I've already uninstalled and re-installed the Samsung USB drivers, tried a different USB port etc, but same result.
As it stands, the tab is working, but on that horrible v3.2.
I might be getting somewhere, but nothing's easy! I have moved everything over to a laptop we have, and have gone through the whole process again. I installed CwM ok using Odin, copied over the AOSP beta13 for the 7310, and this time when I installed the ZIP, it said completed ok. Good so far.
I then rebooted, and while I see the Samsung logo, the screen then goes black and stays that way. I've left it ages, but it doesn't seem to get anywhere. I can still reboot it and get into download/recovery, so that's ok. Am I doing anything wrong? I did the wipe/reset beforehand, so It's not obvious why this is not working.
Quick update. I can get ICS running (CM9 works), so that's good. It does look like any JB rom (AOSP/CM10) just cause a blank screen on reboot, which is wierd. I've re-downloaded the ROM's just in case, but no dice. Install completes ok, and gapps reports no problems.
I often don't get a boot animation, just the black screen. Every once in awhile the animation comes back. Seems totally random. I'm using nravates jb Rom on the i957. Other than that it runs great.

Hi all,
I have been using CM11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494684) for awhile and hoping that they'd fix it so I wouldn't have to go back to stock or install a new ROM, but it seems that isn't going to happen. I guess I'm a beginner with this stuff, only because I only really dig in about twice a year and so I forget everything I learned the last time I had dealt with it.
I'm currently using a nightly from a few weeks ago (haven't bothered updating since... I don't think they're updating them) and I would like to either go back to completely stock and get OTA updates again, or move to another stable ROM. I had a backup from when I first rooted, but have since lost it. I have tried to find out what steps I need to take, but everything in these forums is all over the place and IF this THEN this, and Verizon specifically has to follow these steps, blah blah blah. Long story long, it's very confusing to me and at this point I think I have to follow 4 different guides entirely to get back to something that works (Which makes me think I'm missing something very simple). I figured I'd post and get a direct response to my specific situation.
Android version 4.4.4
Baseband version 11A
Recovery ClockworkMod 6.0.4.4
(Not sure this will help or not, but figured it's worth adding)
I did at one point have TWRP installed, but I had changed it at some point for... Some reason, no idea at this point. I think part of my frustration with trying to fix this is that some instructions tell me to have at least some specific version of TWRP (2.7?) installed, but I could never get it to work. The files for earlier versions were .img and the newer versions were .zips I think, and the process would always error out, no matter what I tried. (extracting contents, using the .img within, changing .zip to .img, maybe others, this was months ago)
Ultimately, I'd like to go to a stable ROM rather than stock, but I really don't want to have to spend hours working on this. I have already spent time looking at different threads piecing together what I need to do and I'm not at all confident that what I've come up with is the easiest or correct way for me to do this. Some people may say "the instructions are on the first post of whatever ROM you want". While that is true, when I have to be on a specific baseband or some such and directions are referenced but aren't linked, and I have to start digging, I lose confidence.
Aaaannyway, if anyone could help I would VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT. I have been dealing with daily crashes for way too long.

There isn't any developers for cm11 unless you go to some of the unofficials. There is no one to do the work. If your wanting a stable rom check out mahdi works great.

If I'm reading things correctly, in order to use Mahdi I need to...
1) Wipe everything but internal storage.
2) Flash the 11A Kitkat modem for the JB baseband. (I think that makes sense?) (Based on this post) Or maybe I'm supposed to use Cloudyfa's KK modem?
3) Flash Mahdi.
4) Flash patch.
5) Flash Gapps.
Am I close or way off? I guess the modem and baseband stuff is confusing me the most.
If you want to stick to CM11, you can upgrade your baseband to 24A and use jackpotclavin's build, it works well but it hasn't been updated past 4.4.2 I believe.

Do you have a custom recovery? If so, flash the 2.7.x.x zip within your current recovery, then reboot recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery, then use autorec or freedom tool to install one.
