"LOOK" Here First {List} Roms/Kernels/Mods/Themes/FAQ'S *Update 27/09/11*

This thread is here to make the lives of every one just that much easier. Will try to keep the first and reserved posts as up to date as humanly possible.
Please ask all questions in relation to issues you are having following the FAQ instructions to make it easier to answer your questions and easier for us to track the solutions that way the FAQ post is as up to date and accurate as possible.
As the GT10.1 landscape changes this thread will get updated. I will try and keep everything as simple and to the point as possible. Contributors will be much appreciated.
THE BASICS
BOOTLOADER MODE
Turn device off. Then hold down power + volume down button (the button closer to power button) until you see two icons appear then let go. Left icon (box) is recovery and right icon (Android robot) is Download. Use Vol. down to navigate then vol. up to select.
DOWNLOADING MODE
Just tap volume up when you have highlighted the android robot icon. You should see downloading appear under the icon.
RECOVERY MODE
Vol. up/down to navigate up or down and power button to select.
This is what you use to install ROMs/KERNELs and even themes for your specific roms when they become available. Just highlight the box icon and hit Vol. up. What we are doing now is replacing the stock recovery on your device with Clockwork Mod Recovery which allows you install unsigned ROMs/Kernels/Updates. When in recovery mode you can also back up whatever current ROM you have on your device so if you install a new ROM and something goes wrong you could always use recovery to restore. Whenever you install a new ROM it's advised to always wipe the device using cwmR to ensure a more stable install. Install new ROMS will also mean you will be losing all the apps on your device. It will look like you have a brand new device after the install unless its an update.zip for whatever rom you are currently on and the developer of that rom supports it.
Don't worry about losing your apps as you can always re-download them once you sync your device with your google account. However, the state of those apps and your settings will be lost, so I strongly suggest that you use an app like titanium back up and always make a back up of your apps before flashing any new ROMs. Check in the Recommended Apps section for a direct link to Titanium backup.
Here is the clockwork mod menu
- Reboot system now (self explanatory )
- Apply update from SDcard. (when you connect your device to your computer it will show up as tablet. The SDcard that cwm refers to is simply your device storage. Always make sure to copy install.zips to the root directory of your tablet storage.) You use this when applying an update for a specific ROM if that is what the ROM developer says.
- Wipe Data/ Factory Reset You should always do this before you install a new ROM or if you are having minor issues with your device.
- Wipe cache partition Think of this as the lite version of whats above . If you do above though it doesn't hurt to do this too.
- Install zip from SDcard Use this to install new ROMs.
- Back up and Restore
- Mounts and Storage use this to connect your device to your computer when in recovery mode. It is also possible to transfer files to your device while in this mode.
- Advanced What you are interested in here is something called dalvik cache, you want to wipe this too before installing any new ROM
- Power off

NVFLASH
Nvflash is a low level formatting and imaging tool. If you don't have a working recovery, or have broken the actual boot-loader on your tablet, this is the tool you will need to turn to. For those with unlocked bootloaders (and no fastboot capability), its the best way to root your device. Nvflash is pretty much NVida's version of say an ODIN program but done through cmd prompt. It can save a tablet if one is soft/semi-bricked or maybe full-bricked. To use nvFlash you must first put your tablet in APX mode (think of it as a way to allow you use commands on your computer to control your tablet).

Downloads
Kernel.zip

1. Copy Files to root of device storage.
2. Boot into Bootloader mode and navigate to and enter recovery mode.
3. Apply Kernel.zip then recovery.zip
4. reboot.....Done.
UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY
1. Using CWM Flash the stock rom for your device. This unroots your device and basically makes it like a brand new tablet.
2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip.
3. Done, your device is exactly how it was when you picked it up.
FLASHING ROMS AND KERNELS
This is pretty easy as long as you have CWM on your device.
Simply boot CWM recovery, navigate to either update/instal zip from SDcard (pls adhere to ROM/kernel install instructions) and flash the .zip file of the ROM or kernel.
I will update this section with links to all the existing and stable ROMs and kernels as the become available. I will advice that you hold off on the kernels if you can as every stable kernel will eventually get cooked into a ROM unless of course you want to help test them or be on the bleeding edge .

Ever wanted to get whats coming before anyone else (never mind the small issue of being a guinea pig ) Well here is your chance. In this section I will put up the contact info of any dev currently looking for testers and for a limited duration, once the devs has all their testers his link will be closed. You can also think of this section as a great way to see what is coming and what stage of development its in. So stop just downloading stuff people, now you can actually really contribute to making what gets released the best it can be and as bug free as possible.
FAQ
Be sure to ask whatever questions you have in relation to anything and any problems you come across. But please start every question you have with either a
(Q) basically letting me know its a question or a
(P) letting me know its a problem
I will put up all your questions or problems on here so everyone can see them and the answers or fixes . this way people won't have to filter through tons of pages to get help.
(Q) Should I follow these instructions for an IO edition tab? Or should I just use the fastboot flash [cwm recover] and flash the zips through that?
(A) This method will work on the IO version.
(Q) kernel 2.6.36.4 is a NO-GO for the 3G version?
(A) Yes, it doesn't work on the 3G version yet.
(Q) If my tab ins locked does that mean i cant flash kernels on it?
(A) You can flash anything as long as you have a recovery that will support it. In our case CWM. Being locked and unlocked really only stops you from flashing stuff "easily" but since we can change the recovery, we can flash anything.
(Q) Does the Odin file wipe tab?
(A) No. All Odin is doing here is flashing a new recovery to your tab. Nothing more.
(P) Can't see tablet as USB storage device on Mac.
(A) Unfortunately Android and Macs don't play nice... you best bet is to use dropbox or a simple bluetooth transfer to transfer files from your mac to your tablet. Then on your Tab use a file manager app to move your files to where you want them to be. For now. Another option is to download everything that requires you using CWM with your tablet so its all already there. So in CWM all you have to do is navigate to your downloads folder. I just created a folder called mods and I have them all there.
(P) Stuck in BootLoop after Flashing ROM via Odin.
(A) You should use nvFlash to falsh CWM if you don't still have it then do a full wipe of your device including reformating all partions in mounts and storage except the boot partition then using Odin install a stock Rom on your device.
(P) I messed things up on my LTE tab and I now somehow dont have a recovery mode anymore!!!!!
(A) Go Here and scroll to post #4 and follow tijayz instructions.... make sure to thank him!!!

Sorry, try again... its working on my end though.

Nice, should be stickied.

(Q) Should I follow these instructions for an IO edition tab? Or should I just use the fastboot flash [cwm recover] and flash the zips through that?

The so-called "Mount device as USB Mass storage" thread has nothing to do with mounting the device as Mass Storage. It only tells you how to mount as MTP, which can be done without any of the steps mentioned in the thread. Seriously, it doesn't belong on this list.
Also, you should include instructions for using nvflash to install a custom recovery. I found it much easier and safer to root through this method than through Odin.

[Q] kernel 2.6.36.4
Many thanks for preparing this post.
Just wanted to add a question here: can you confirm that kernel 2.6.36.4 is a NO-GO for the 3G version?
Or is it related with TW versus plain HC?
I'm running the stock TW rom on a rooted 3G tab. Tried to flash the above kernel with OC purposes, had to recover through a CWM backup.
Thanks for clarifying

I'm just going to copy exactly waht I typed in the IRC -- I'm stuck without being able to reboot into recovery with an I/O tab. Also cannot get fastboot to work
- i got some help from here earlier but now i'm stuck again in rooting/flashing a custom rom on the IO edition
<slobdogg> i went through the ODIN process to revert to 3.0.1, then was able to adb reboot recovery and install the root file
<slobdogg> afterwards i installed clockwork mod using RM, and then did the update to a 3.1 OTA file on XDA
<slobdogg> now i'm supposed to reboot into recovery to reinstall root but i cannot
<slobdogg> even in ADB if i reboot recovery it just restarts the device...also, I cannot enter recovery through the Vol Down + Power method, just fastboot and odin
<slobdogg> so im right back where I was (3.1 with no root)

in order to do adb reboot recovery you need a rooted boot.
flash the latest tools pack, and you will get root/adb root shell/busybox,dropbear,ssh,etc.,etc.
you need to get CWM or the stock IO recovery on the device, prior to being able to flash.

What tools pack are you referring to? Can't seem to find something relating to that on the forum.
I feel like an idiot because it just seems like if i restart the process, I'll lose CWM again and be back where I am right now. If I could just get fastboot to work this whole thing would be a lot easier because I could just flash CWM without root.

As with most issues, mine turned out to be user error. I forgot to re-flash the root.zip file after flashing the 3.1 update. That prevented me from being ablet o reboot into CWM.
Started from step 1, and flashed the root file after the 3.1 update and now i'm fine.
Thanks!

This is only really known for certain to work on a retail locked or unlocked version. Not certain about the google i/o version but will ask around for you. But nothing here says that version is supported using this method.
However, i see no reason why it won't work though, assuming you only flash the root exploit.
For instructions specific to your model though, refer to this thread

Well, i put it up and took it out again, there is currently a much, much, much easier and direct method to root the device. And one that I am sure you will agree is by far more straight forward.

I'm not sure if it's just my version of the I/O Tab, or all I/O Tabs, but one key thing is that I could NOT boot into recovery on a non-rooted 3.1 Edition.
On 3.1, adb reboot recovery would simply reboot my device. I cannot use the POW + VOL DOWN button combination because I am presented with a USB icon on the left (which takes you to fastboot - which would not work for me), and the ODIN Download Icon on the right.
So, the only changes to the instructions with regards to an IO tab is to remove any reference to "POWER + VOL DOWN" as the method of getting into recovery. IT MUST be done via a command -- either adb reboot recovery or using Rom Manager to boot into CWM.
Exact steps for me (brief):
1. ODIN to revert to 3.0.1
2. reboot the device, turn on USB Debugging
3. connect to computer and use ADB to "adb reboot recovery" then install root zip file once you get into the stock recovery
4. Reboot - install Rom Manager and Clockwork Mod.
5. Reboot into CWM
6. Install the 3.1 Update AND [before rebooting] re-install the root zip file
7. Voila!
Only thing is -- now that I am on 3.1, the only way for me to get into recovery is via Rom Manager because the 'adb reboot recovery' function only reboots the devices, and the button combination trick still does not work.
EDIT: paragraph above is not entirely true -- i can open a terminal on my Tab and type 'reboot recovery' to get back into recovery. So, it's just adb & the button combination that does not work.
I still cannot figure out why I cannot get fastboot to work. My computer even seems to recognize that I have a fastboot device connected, but I cannot send any fastboot commands; even fastboot devices returns nothing.

[Q] Rooting a Stock ROM

Hi to all
I wish to root my Note (GT-N7000) and am trying to follow the method described in Dr Katan's post here.

Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage. (use vol up/down to select, power to enter)
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard (Now use touch function to select choice)
Choose and Install SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted

When I hold the power button, I don't see any 'Recovery' option (The only options are 'Silent mode', 'Data network mode', 'Flight mode', 'Power off' and 'Restart'). What am I missing/doing wrong..?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
PS. Apologies for posting this in the Q&A section. I'm relatively new so can't yet make a post in the relevant development thread.

only custom ROM users get the APM (advanced power menu)
you will have to do it manually, Power off the phone and hold volume UP + Home + Power all at once
let go when you see the GT-N7000 screen

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?

not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully

Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help

im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

Hi all,
I decided to post here because i'm new and I don't have permission to post in the proper thread. Anyway I'm trying to install the new rom 31.0 over my current on 12.1. It installs successfully but then I get stuck on the htc logo boot screen and yes I did the wipe data/cache thing. Can anyone help with this?
Much appreciated.

Did you update the kernel to a newer kernel? Also I would do a full wipe and then install. The two versions you are working with are very different.

did you confirm the MD5 sum? For ARHD 31.0 it's: 601F92B13104A373868C6C1E05972CF9
if it's not, then it's a bad download and you should download again.
EDIT: you should also select WIPE in Aroma installer!

Bootloops happen. Do a factory reset and flash again.

Will a factory reset erase my nandroid backup and if so how do I get the img file onto my computer?

If you don't have a functioning ROM, you'll have to enter custom recovery, adb works there. then you'll have to use "adb pull" commands to get stuff off your internal storage to your PC.
I think there's also an application called "Android Commander" which is basically a graphical file manager that acts as a front-end to adb.

I have a functioning ROM, I'm currently on Android Revolution 12.1. I just couldn't install their latest version (31.0) over my current one even after doing the data wipe both in recovery and AROMA. I re-downloaded the file and checkd the MD5 which seems to pass so I will try to install this new DL when I get home from work.
Thanks for the input guys and I'll keep you posted.

I would still recommend backing up everything to your PC, you MAY have to eventually wipe that. It's always a good idea to keep a backup of everything on your PC (or at least on a USB stick if you have an OTG).
Also remember that most likely your nandroids are in /data/media/... (which will not show up using MTP) as opposed to /data/media/0/... (which does show up on MTP), so if you want to keep them, either move them from /data/media/... to /data/media/0/... EDIT: you need a root-enabled file explorer on your phone to see /data/media/...
or use adb pull to get them off your phone.
Good luck, and remember to hit the thanks button if we helped

It should be there, what carrier are you on, and did you select "international" in Aroma? Could also be CID related.

Flashed SOKP with CWM, now recovery is gone

Hey guys,
strange thing happened to me yesterday.
After I got fed up with Paranoid, I decided to pick one of the other AOKP derivatives.
Although I had initial problems with mounting sdcard1, I somehow managed to flash from there
and do have SOKP with android 4.4.4 running on my honami
the thing is, when I want to access recovery through vol+ or vol-, my phone freezes on boot,
otherwise everything is working fine.
Unfortunately I need to flash GAPPS and I need to find some kind of workaround...
What I have tried is flashing TWRP and Z1DualRecovery via fastboot with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

What is SOKP? Any link you can give us?
Did the kernel for that ROM include a recovery?
TWRP cannot be installed via fastboot on xperia devices. Z1dualrecovery kernel is for stock based roms only.
Maybe you should flash a FTF and start again.

you have unlocked bootloader, let flash pimp kernel to have working recovery, so you can reflash the rom to check it.

SOKP is Sonic Open Kang, a newer AOKP derivate.
It is one of the top posts in Android Development Forum.
Thought you heard of it.
Ok thanks will try it with pimped kernel. Hope it works with AOKP.

I have seen it now, try flashing and wiping again

Hey, thanks for the fast response guys.
So I've just flashed Pimped Kernel to this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/xperia-z1-t2834169
I am still getting stuck on boot when I'm trying to get into recovery.
Neither vol+ not vol- works, I hit it when the purple light flashes and the orange one comes up and stays like forever.
So unfortunately I cannot flash nor wipe.
And Android without GAPPS kinda sucks... especially when they have the new material design...
EDIT: And I don't want to stay on pimped kernel cuz it somehow causes battery drain for me...
Only possibility would be to somehow install the zip via ADB/Fastboot... does that work somehow?

Just keep pressing it throughout the boot sequence, don't forget you have to press, let go, press, let go etc..... Its not just one long press

Just tried that out, in both directions.
Same result - no success.
Really unusual since it was always a long press and I should also be getting into the recovery
by rebooting into recovery from inside the ROM.
What other possibilities are there to get gapps on your phone?

push them with adb
but that's not the point
have you booted into system and check to see if quick boot is enabled in developer options - root

I dont seem to have that option,
all I have is the point "Update CM Recovery when installing system updates"

@gregbradley how do I push and flash those via ADB?

Check in the gapps zip where each file should be installed (Proabably all to system/app) and the associated permissions (Should be 0755 or 0644, I don't have time to check just now)
Then put all the files in the same folder where you have adb installed.
then
Code:
adb push "[I]name of file here[/I]" system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
adb chmod 0755 system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
Replace the name of the file with the extension where I have said, change the "0755" to "0644" if that's what it says in the updater script, and if the apks should be installed somewhere else (for example syste/priv-app) change the commands to that.
This method would take you a long time, proabably best to just push the play store and then download the google apps you want, or better still, fix your recovery

Ok guys, many many thanks for your help.
I solved the problem and got my recovery back.
I flashed PhilZ and I like it. Way better than regular CWM.
You can close the thread now.

Using XModGames on Tab S2

Hey guys, I am trying to use an application called XMODGAMES on my Samsung Tab S2. If you are not familiar with the application it is used with games to make them automated (i.e. perform tasks that would if done manually waste hours of your time).
Yesterday, I was able to root my device using the following techniques: I downloaded odin, cf_autoroot, and t810 5.1.1 boot. This actually ended up boot-looping my device so I used odin to flash to a stock firmware, installed twrp, and then installed SuperSu (yay root). Then I downloaded XMODGAMES and it is failing to work with the device, upon troubleshooting I found that there is an issue with "Enforcing" with Samsung devices that causes the application to not work. There are a few workarounds (given by XMODGAMES) that I attempted but I can not get it to work so I am looking for your advice and help.
This is the link to their workaround and videos: http://www.xmodgames.com/faq/64.html
TLDR: You use Lucky Patcher and SD2LINK to move the XMODGAMES application to the system/app directory and use ODEX as well as a few more actions. The issue that I am having is when I move it to the system directory the app icon disappears and I can no longer open or remove it. When I go to the local storage I can see the folder for the app but I cannot access it.
Seeking your expertise, and a HUGE thank you in advance.

I think I know what u problem is... u can either flash a different Kernel with Permissive SElinux or Search XDA for an app called SElinuxChanger that will allow to modify ur stock kernel on the fly, also I think U might need to install busybox not sure though.. I would Install it anyway but it seem u might have it already since u are using lucky patcher.. please let me know if it worked.

I downloaded SElinuxChanger but whenever I change the mode to Permissive it does not last long before it is reverted back to Enforcing. I have also tried to reboot several times and the mode does not stick. When I rooted my device yesterday I followed these rooting instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/guide-root-tab-s2-t3205019
I thought I already flashed a permissive kernel, I am not sure why it would still show enforcing? When I downloaded the stock firmware would it overwrite the kernel? Can I simply flash the kernel from the root guide again and will everything work properly? Or will that total mess everything up?

Maybe @ashyx and/or @DeeXii can help, they know their stuff.

upon reading u OP I notice u encounter the same issues I did and then rooted the same way I did, and to answer ur question yes u need a new kernel with SElinux Permisive since using odin to flash stock does overwrite everything now I dont know if that kernel is good for ur build... since u came across the same Issue as me I'm guessing that u're currently on PB1 build which is the latest correct? so at least for now stay away from now.. I use that app as well and I'm working on getting it to work as we speak as Soon as I get it working I'll share my method with ya..

Hey Jay, why does Samsung have to be so difficult? Ahh! I'm sorry to hear that you're in the same boat as me but it is somewhat relieving to know that I am not in this alone. I will have to look at what build I have when I get home and get back to you. Getting this app to work is very important to me, so important that I will return the tablet if I cannot get it to work in the next 10 days and get something compatible. I'd love to help in any way that I can to get us both up and running. Please let me know!

It's weird bud I had never came across this problem, til now not only that I was having difficulty keeping root while on Stock rooted, but anyway to what's important I got the app to work yesterday after experimenting with kernels and what not, I couldn't get it to work on stock rooted so I move to flashing roms that is how I go it working. So flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/rom-neked-nook-oj1-5-1-1-710-t3317823
follow this instructions:
1- Full wipe
2- Flash rom and Flash second file
3- reboot, here's where it gets tricky most likely u will encounter the same issue I did u gonna get a distortion on ur screen and blinking screen don't panic just let it boot once u are in the language selection screen turn it off now boot into recovery.
4- Flash last kernel.
5- Wipe cache/dalvik
Profit. Good luck.. let me know how it goes.

That is awesome news! Congratulations. I am very excited to do this when I get home tonight. I am sorry for my newb-ness (I do not do these types of things often) but I just want to make sure I don't mess something up. I am assuming that when I flash all of these files I am just booting into download mode, using Odin, selecting the files for AP and hitting start (please correct me if I am wrong). Can you please answer the questions in the bullets below?
follow this instructions:
1- Full wipe
Is this just a hard factory reset or do I have to wipe a specific way? Using TWRP?
2- Flash rom and Flash second file
Is this the proper order from this link? http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/rom-neked-nook-oj1-5-1-1-710-t3317823
1) Neked_Nook-710/810 - 810 users MUST flash this ROM and the file below after installing this ROM and BEFORE rebooting.
2) Neked_Nook-810-file-2 - 810 users MUST flash this- Flash this file AFTER flashing the ROM and BEFORE rebooting
3- reboot, here's where it gets tricky most likely u will encounter the same issue I did u gonna get a distortion on ur screen and blinking screen don't panic just let it boot once u are in the language selection screen turn it off now boot into recovery.
When I boot into recovery, am I booting into TWRP? Or did the full wipe clean this out? How do you flash from recovery as I would think it would be done in download mode + Odin.
4- Flash last kernel.
Do I flash this kernel? Permissive-OJ1-kernel-810.zip It was the first response in the thread. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759882106
5- Wipe cache/dalvik
Do I wipe cache/dalvik before I reboot or can I do this after I reboot using SD2LINK or any app?
Again, I am sorry for my newbness but I just want to make sure I don't mess something up by accident. Thanks in advance.

At this point I'm assuming u have root and twrp installed, You will not need Odin at this point unless something goes wrong.
Before u start anything make sure u have all files inside ur tablet before wiping anything, also don't forget to make a back up of ur current Rom.
1-Everything is done in trwp recovery full wipe is System, cache, Dalvik, Data NOTHING ELSE DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL.
2- yes follow those instructions, FLASH THE ROM DO NOT REBOOT N THEN FLASH FILE 2. once that's done reboot. You will encounter a very glitchy system, don't panic wait til it fully reboots and then turn it off now boot into recovery again.
3- the full wipe will not erase TWRP u can't loose that unless u Odin stock. To boot into recovery just hold down Vol up+ home button+power when Tab s2 screen appears release after 2 or 3 secs now u will be in recovery. Once there u do what I already explained, flashing will be done with the install tab.
4- yes flash that kernel
5- Wipe after kernel finish flashing to avoid issues..
Good luck. Let me know if u have anymore questions

Awesome job! It works! Woohoooooo! I really appreciate our journey on getting us there , even thought you did all of the work. Thank you so much. I have a few more questions if you don't mind.
1) Samsung devices play games in low resolution so I downloaded Gamer Tuner (to max the res) but it says that the device is unsupported or not a Samsung device. I'm not sure what I can or cannot enable without confusing the system. I can't find a similar app out there either.
2) Now that my device is a Nook, lol. How do I get rid of all of the Nook stuff? Can I just start deleting stuff without consequence? Especially the main Nook page and preferable all of the buttons that say NOOK on them.
Again though, you did it and you're the man! Thank you good sir!

For ur nook app problem this is the solution
If you DO NOT want the BNN interface/apps, you'll need to use a rooted explorer and delete /system/app/NookAMV. Then got to App Manager and uninstall Nook.app.
For the game tuner app do you get a gameservice error? I think the solution for ur problem lies in the apps that were removed if go back to the thread there are two zips that u need one is removed appso and the add+apps flashable. U need to pick from the removed appso zip and placed them into the add+apps flashable zip into the right folder and then flash it in twrp.
As for me is not that big of the deal either app since I play on my phone, and i'm glad u got it working just giving back to the community as they have given to me.

Thanks for the quick reply as always. Everything you said worked like a charm! I added the GameOptimizer app back and it allowed me to use the Samsung Game Tuner app to fix the resolution. You're the man! Last thing that seemed a little weird was when I restart - the tablet does not automatically connect to my home WiFi, I have to manually re-enter the password and connect. I am wondering if I need to add more apps back. I'll play with it more tomorrow but thanks again for your time and help!

Thanks for the Kernel info u beat me to it. Reason I'm moving is because since there isn't much development for this tablet yet (I'm staying optimistic that it will pick up) I much rather stay close to stock as much as possible.
