That's cause you didn't follow all the steps.. When you flash higher versions, it has to repartition. Therefor a couple flashes are needed. If coming from gb and going up to 10.2 or 10.3, you'll have to flash cm7 first and then make your way to cm10.2, once again by flashing twice to rewrite the partition.
All that is clearly mentioned in the instructions. Just gotta take the time to read and understand it.

As for your sd card, that could be another problem. It might've gone bad.

i know the repartitioning thing but not from this phone. trust me if it was clear in the instructions i would have done it 4-5 roms iv tried and none of them have this instruction i appreciate your resonse though but onto a solution. i think since it refuses to mount the sdcard smtn went wrong trying to install cm10.2 though they all faild. so im guessing my safest bet to be to use odin to load a new rom or something advice there or from that of your experince with the device would be much appreciated.

I'd probably start fresh at this point. Flash Odin kk4 without bootloaders and see if boots up correctly. Also try your sd card. From there you can flash korn kernel using odin 1.87 and go back up to whichever ROM you want using their full instructions.

explain somethings to me plz and thanks. What the layout of this phone partition table? does it have a bootloader like on htc?
the kernel seems to be packaged with cwm tho i doubt it is this true on all occasions?not being able to flash a rom due to the kernel mismatch is unheard of by me atleast it would flash then just not work can u explain what you think was the problem i was on cm10 btw.
korm kernel gonna research that but i might get anseers from you first its a kernel for what gb??
sorry am reallly blank on this phone

download links or queries to google would be a great help here dont wanna make a bad situation worst

got the kk4 kernel from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 if it works and i can mount my sdcard i will need a rom can i use any rom?

Getting impatient is the worse thing you can do.. Now you'll have to flash the gb bootloaders cause you just flashed 2.2.
Now flash this: http://click.xda-developers.com/api...e</b></font>&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13811531834186

In that case, flash the first link I gave you. Which is the non-bootloaders version.
Usually, the older one clicks flashes the bootloaders.

[Q]Odin Oneclick Download(JF6) can change bootloader?

I flashed Cotinuum 5 with new bootloader.
I have 3 question, please answer for me.
1. When i want back to stock, i can use Odin One Click Downloader v1.0? It's OK?
2. Odin One Click Downloader v1.0 will replace with old bootloader or bootloader have no change?
3. Odin One Click Downloader v1.0 have included 3buttonfix?
what did the continuum instructions say? read them again.

I would stop using the one click odin now. If you're on Continuum 5, you have the full version of odin. Use that with a jh7.tar in the pda slot to go back to stock 2.1. That way you won't have to worry. The one floating around here doesn't have bootloaders. Don't mess with bootloaders unless you have to.

Continuum and all other gingerbread, will change you to gingerbread bootloaders.
SO TO RETURN TO STOCK YOU NEED STOCK BOOTLOADERS...

like you said the others dont have them. so if you use them after gingerbread.
YOU BRICK!!!!!!
thanks for almost bricking someone!~
now that you confused him, here I'll even tell you what continuum says, in noob speak
flash back to stock with ODIN ONECLICK because it has BOTH bootloaders
test to see if 3 button works.
IF NOT flash 3button fix. - it only has 2nd bootloader. YOU NEED THE PRIMARY FROM ONE CLICK

Umm... Dude... calm down. I don't give advice without testing first.
1. You can use the i9000 gingerbread bootloaders in froyo. I tried Continuum and a few i9000 gingerbread roms last night. Now I'm back on 2.2 kb1 rom because I was just testing. STILL USING THE SAME BOOTLOADERS!!! I know because there is that annoying i9000 slash screen before the Att screen. Plus, I did not go back to stock. I just re-flashed my old rom.
2.Don't just start accusing people of things. Have you tried gingerbread? Have you gone back to stock? You should probably get your facts straight before handing out false allegations.

By what I am reading you are in fact wrong as well. If you flashed the gingerbread boot loader do not use one click. From thread:
!!!!!WARNING!!!!! DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU ALREADY UPDATED YOUR BOOTLOADERS TO i9000 GINGERBREAD ONES!!! Chances of bricking are 99% because this method flashes only secondary bootloader and the phone wont boot with primary i9000 bootloader and secondary i897 bootloader.
3. Reboot your phone in recovery

the "this method" is talking about the 3 button fix method.
AND YES DO NOT FLASH OVER GINGERBREAD - it only has 1 of 2 bootloaders! = brick
UNLESS YOU FLASH ONE CLICK FIRST - has BOTH bootloaders = no brick!
try quoting the WHOLE QUOTE it reads accurately, and ill add a couple words to make it read even better!
You can return to stock by using OneClickDownloader and performing a master clear.
◘BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE! EVERYTHING WILL BE ERASED DURING THE MASTER CLEAR PROCESS.
◘THEN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO 3 BUTTON COMBO! IF NOT, RETURN TO STOCK BY USING THIS METHOD !!!!!WARNING!!!!! DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IMMEDIATELY AFTER i9000 GINGERBREAD Bootloaders!!! Chances of bricking are 99% because this method flashes only secondary bootloader and the phone wont boot with primary i9000 bootloader and secondary i897 bootloader. Flash ONE CLICK FIRST

I don't really care man. I can follow directions too, but I can also make decisions on my own. I know for a fact you do not need to change bootloaders to go back to stock. You just can't use the primary from 2.3 and the secondary from 2.1. That will brick your phone. But whatever, I have better things to do than argue with you.

Man... it's ok... There's too much angst on Xda these days.
agreed......
I'm just saying don't mess with bootloaders unless you have to. Our phones will boot with the i9000 bootloaders. For a noob, I think it would be better not to confuse him with "you can use this one-click, but not the other one-click because, it only contains the secondary bootloader". Thats why I suggested the jh7 with no bootloaders via the Odin that came with Continuum. Plus, later when the gingerbread roms get more polished, he can go back with minimal hassle.

[Q] ICS (or any other rom) won't install on my Samsung Captivate!

Hello. Well i have a big problem with my Captivate. All custom roms that i have tried (Cyanogen, MIUI, Cognition, Serendipity, and the ICS rom by teamhacksung) won't bother to install. I always flash back to stock 2.1 via Odin-1-Click, root it via Samsung Galaxy S 1 Click Root, and install the Hardcore Speedmod Kernel for Clockwork mod. I follow all the directions completely and with Cyanogen i always get a boot loop, and with all the others clockwork mod freezes while it is installing the rom. I thought it was taking it's time so i left it overnight to complete. About 8 hours later it was still at the same screen where it said "Installing Update." Can anyone help?

What do you recommend to install the roms? Odin restores the captivate back to stock perfectly without any problems.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Here's what I would do:
Odin1Click to stock
Master Clear
When the phone reboots, copy this and the ROM you want to flash to your SD card
Reboot into recovery, and select "install from zip"
Select the update.zip you just downloaded
It will cycle thru once, do it one more time, you'll then boot into CWM
Select to install from zip again, this time select your ROM
and you should be good to go

Which ROM do you want to run? CM7/Miui/ICS are VERY simple, GB is a LITTLE bit more complicated, you have to flash the boot loaders first(and has a bit more risk of bricking too). With GB, just make sure you read very well, and fully understand what you need to do BEFORE you do it

Make sure to do a Master Clear first. Save everything you want to keep on a ext SD, and back everything up. Master Clear will return the phone just like you got it from AT&T. It erases EVERYTHING
Also, I remove my SIM and ext SD before I M/C just to be safe

If you have any issues with the teamhacksung installation, go to the link in my signature to the Q&A thread, and you should be able to get help there.

Don't hit it with a brick?
When you are using Odin1Click make sure you don't disconnect your USB, or knock the battery out, make sure your battery is more than 50%(100 is best).
If you look under your battery, is there a tag with numbers like, 10.06, 10.07, 10.08 and so on there? If there is, what is yours?

[Q] Tab stuck on samsung logo after flashing, need help

My sister owns this tab, and she wanted me to update its firmware from stock 2.2 (froyo) to 2.3.6 (gingerbread). I followed a guide on youtube, and I downloaded the files provided in the description tab. The flashing went smoothly, but after rebooting, the tab won't get past the samsung logo. Have I killed her tab? If I did, she'd kill me too Please help..
Additional info:
Model: GT-P1000
FCC ID: A3LGTP1000
I think she bought the tab in germany, if so then what firmware should I download?
Is it possible to just download any FW file to use for flashing? If not can anyone please direct me to the proper firmware?
I've been googling for a day..Download 2 firmwares but still no luck.. also tried wiping user data and cache.
Thanks for any help..much appreciated!
You need to restore via Odin first download Odin then head over to this link
http://allkindfile.blogspot.com/2012/07/odin-flasher-and-original-ops-pit-file.html?m=1 scroll down to the bottom and find the Samsung galaxy tab pit for the gt-p1000 after that go to this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search your tablet in the search box and it should say Germany on it download that file. Boit into download mode i believe its voljme down + power. Open Odin and click pit and open the pit file you downloaded. Then click PDA and find the firmware you got from the last link. Then just hit start and you should be good to go

Thank you very much atlast someone replied!
Anyhow i downloaded the pit(s) for my device, but i got 4 pit files, (gt-p1000_mr, pit-909, pit-EUR and pit-p1) which one do i have to use?
Also i already downloaded 2 germany firmwares, one is released 2011, the other 2012. Theyre both at version 2.3.6, should i use them? or do i have to download a 2.2 froyo firmware (you said restore)
I'm really confused, but i'll try them all now. thanks very much!!!!!!

I forgot to mention did you boot into recovery and wipe data and see if you got it to boot? Often times after an update you have to boot into stock recovery and wipe cache and factory reset but if that failes just use the pit gt-p1000 and the firmware I would try froyo then if that fails to work do 2011 then if that don't work try 2012 but always use the pit file if none of these work then it means your internal sdcard gave out. Also before trying all of this try doing a factory reset in recovery and if you get errors post a screenshot of it so I get a better idea of what happened. Hope this helps
EDIT: sorry just read the part where u already did the factory reset and wipe cache was it in stock recovery? And did you get any errors?

Because normally when on a custom ROM specially with our tablets the partition format changes from rfs to ext4 because its faster and more reliable. That being said what your experiencing is your tablet trying to boot but its not the right format because touch wiz only runs on rfs format. This happened to my tablet too when I tried to restore to stock and all I did was flash the pit and the stock firmware in Odin and it booted right up. Took my tablet about 20 minutes the first time to boot up though but it eventually did.

oh, is that the case? but my sister's tab isnt rooted nor had any custom roms before i flashed it. it was on stock firmware.. would it really take that long (20mins+) for a newly flashed device to boot up? approximately how long would should i keep it stuck at the samsung logo before i quit? im willing to wait hours, just for the tab to work. im gonna flash it again using 2.3.6 gingerbread firmware and a pit file using odin, and gonna let it stand until i wake up later and report the results. thank you so much!

I would say wait 20 minutes or just stare at the Samsung logo if it appears to blink and stay at the Samsung logo then your still in a boot loop BTW how did you update the tab? If you did it correctly it should have been just OTA correct? Or did you flash it manually in stock recovery?

OTA stands for over the air update and well do you still get errors in recovery? And did you flash that pit file with all the other firmwares u had?

i fixed it, finally.
i followed instructions from the Overcome Rom 4.0 tutorials by sos_sifou which is located on the samsung galaxy tab general forum.
first, i downloaded the GB-stock-safe-v5 rom, flash the pda, pit, and the phone modem.bin file. i think what my error really is was i wasn't adding a modem file. after flashing, still i got a couple of errors in recovery mode BUT after it restarted by itself, it booted right away, no 20 minute waiting time. then from there, i was really happy that i managed to fix it but i had gone for a little more. i installed overcome kernel and rom which i was glad i did, its really fast now, and really stable. instructions are easy to follow, you cant miss anything but as pre se, you have to follow everything carefully.
thanks anyway for all the help dude, i wish you also could fix your bricked tab? i read your thread a while back, good luck to you

That's some really bad thing that's gone, anyway if you can afford the $170 then why not? instead of just forsaking the tab away. again thanks for all the help dude, it was my first time flashing android devices, but not nokias. it was different in someway, anyhow just always be cautious of what you do always. please close thread tnx

You need to restore via Odin first download Odin then head over to this link
http://allkindfile.blogspot.com/2012/07/odin-flasher-and-original-ops-pit-file.html?m=1 scroll down to the bottom and find the Samsung galaxy tab pit for the gt-p1000 after that go to this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search your tablet in the search box and it should say Germany on it download that file. Boit into download mode i believe its voljme down + power. Open Odin and click pit and open the pit file you downloaded. Then click PDA and find the firmware you got from the last link. Then just hit start and you should be good to go

Ensure that you flashed a correct ROM for your tablet model, and that you cleared data when you flashed (from recovery).

thank you for this reply. though it came a bit late.
the device is dead!!!
if i on it now, it will only on the camera flash light as long as i hold the power button and then off the light when i release the button.
i don't know what to do.
i guess i can still get help on reviving it somehow or else i should start planning the burial .

[Q] CWM, custom roms and warranty

Hello, i've just bought a stock SGS+, with stock rom and recovery. I'd like to install 4.2.2, and my problem is that the phone is still on warranty. Will my warranty be void if I install CWM (I know it will if i install custom roms, but that can be easily reverted to stock), and if it will, can i return to the stock recovery in any way later? Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english

Type *#1234# and write down what you seen in screen. Inorder to claim the warranty you must need that to return to the exact stock Rom which your phone was shipped with. Also take precautions before you start flashing. Take backup of efs and persist. Once you lost these files you can't get them back.
Always be prepared to face an unexpected brick/bootloop/freeze/random reboots etc. Get ready with all the informations to overcome these situations. Happy flashing..
Edit : Flashing stock Rom will overwrite all the previous custom installations. And revert to the stock. Don't worry. There will be stock recovery.

Hey man, thanks for the reply! So, if just download the right rom (Build Info : Tue Feb 21 11:10:17 KST 2012 i suppose), and install it through CWM, will it delete CWM and revert to stock recovery?

No. You have to flash stock Rom via Odin. The details of which you can be found herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922505.

Hey, one more question - when I install CWM can I install 4.2.2 straight away from 2.3.6? Or do I have to do something more?
And which one is better, CWM or TWRP?

Yea you can install. But don't forget to wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache before installing the zip.
I am using CWM 6.0.3.2 and not facing an issue with it. Haven't used TWRP yet... so can't comment about it. Those who are using says its good.
Really thanks for all the help man! Btw, I see that you're using liquidsmooth, same one that i'm planing to get. How's it running?

Also, is the stockification process the same, but with stock ROM package, or is something different?

It;s a brilliant tutorial. Explained there is a method installing CWM, Rooting and Deodexing of untouched stock ROM users.
You can use the same method as explained in CWM installation using Odin to revert back to stock. Only one difference, instead of that recovery image you have to select the stock ROM image.
Give a Big thanks to Broodplank1337 for such a wonderful tutorial.:good:
Thanks for all the support man ^^
In the tutorial i see CWM v5.5.0.4, and you have 6.0.1.3, and on one thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825) I've seen that there is 6.0.2.6 already, but they're .zip, not .tar. I should flash 5.5.0.4 with Odin first and then install new CWM .zip through CWM, am I right? And when i'm revering to stock, do i have to download the right firmare, or can i just backup my own? Or if I backup it with CWM will it lose the stock recovery?
And also, I can't find any /efs /persist backup tutorial :C Sorry for all your time taken, but perhaps you have any link? Thanks again
Recovery
Well when i need waranty i just need to restore the rom but what about recovery ? can i leave it on CWM 6

Yes you can install CWM 5.5.0.4. If you are looking for a newer version, you can use Alireza7991's CWM 6.0.3.2(thanks to him). you can find both .tar and .zip files there.
When reverting to stock, you have to download any stock. If it's for warranty purposes, you need to download the one for your region.
In order to flash the stock rom, you have to use odin, not CWM.
Here is how you can backup your /efs and /persist
Good luck.

As i said before, when you flash the stock, all your previous customizations will also lost. After that there will be only stock recovery.
Thanks again for all the answers, still got one question - when is the possibility of losing efs or persist? During rom flash or CWM flash? Can i flash the CWM without the risk of losing esf?

Risks will be there all the time. No one can assure you that any step or method is 100% fool proof. That's why all the developers in here underlying that "Try it your own"., they take no responsibility of any damages.
I can only assure you one thing. If you are in any trouble, the awesome Devs in here will do their best to sort it out. :thumbup:

I mean, when comes the risk of losing these partitions (even after successfull flashing), after flashing CWM or after flashing rom? I'm asking that because i have to root the phone to backup them, and the easiest way to root is to install the .zip through CWM

It can't be sure but possibilities are less. Usually it happens when we mess with it.
