Hi everyone
Please i know that somewhere in this web of forums their must be a wise and helpfull way of upgrading the samsung galaxy tap p1000 to either an cynogenmod or to honeycomb/icecreamsandwitch
If look around for a while now and im unable to find any straight forward explanation in doing so
So sorry for asking this question yet again
Does anyone know how to do such upgrade or to explain such process in detail or even direct me to such forum and probably most important if such upgrade is available
I am having issues with my tab,mostly it crashing or sometimes freezes for a while. Bought it about 3months ago with gingerbread preinstalled by samsung
I know that with my htc wildfire by rooting it and installing cynogenmod it helped it not crash and also improved with possibilities and speed
I want to do the same with my gt-p1000 but its still under warranty so want to be sure there is a root and mod upgrade that works so that i wont loose my warranty for incase.
Please if someone could advise
Thanks a lot

AFAIK rooting in any form voids your warranty. Your best bet is to wait until the warranty expires
but IMHO rooting is worth it.
Hope I helped you. If I did,press the thanks button!
Thnx for the reply
I know rooting voids the warranty and totaly agree its well worth it,but my concern is that there are so many treads on how to it for the gt-p1000 but which one of them are solid and will work without defects?
Do you maybe know if there is any tread that explains the process in full?
Thnx again

The best rom that I ever use for my Gtab P1000 is Overcome ROM (latest version is 4.1.0), I'm already try other ROM like MIUI, BOCA, etc but this overcome have 99% stable with no bug. Thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
If you want to unroot just use adb shell or remove su.apk from /system/app folder using root explorer.
Awesome,thnx alot will give it a shot
Is it still on the gingerbread os?
And is there any limitations like things not working (example camera gprs ex?)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Yes,it is on Gingerbread (Overcome 4.1.0 has android 2.3.6 ).Everything is working in this from.don't forget to flash the modem if you use your tab for phone calls,though doing this isn't compulsory
Hit the thanks button if I helped you!!
Which one of the posts in the tread explains the correct way of rooting and installing overcome?
Sorry im a noob at this and reading through the forum is a bit confusing
Just wish someone would post a step by step process and if needed additional flashes required
Thnx again for your support
Looking forward to upgrading my tab

Back in the day I rooted my GT-P1000 with super one click, this was like 1 year and a half ago.
As for the best ROM to use, personally I am using CM9 at the moment which is ICS based. But it is not very newbie friendly atm and has a lot of bugs still being worked on (camera does not work for example).
I would recommend BOCA RC1, it's fast and stable and based on gingerbread CM7. Gives a lot of customizations and is tablet oriented.
But if you want to keep the look and feel of stock ROM, Overcome is the best bet.
Boca RC1
Overcome

Hi.
I'm looking to update my P1000. It already has an older version of Overcome which has always worked for me. I checked out the link. The instructions link is broken. Can anyone point me to upgrade instruction using CWM?

Pretty sure you can do this as it uses cwm to flash. You will have to wipe though so you could just go direct to Sapir. It has the odd bug but is generally pretty good.

Thanks. I was finally able to find all the files for Overcome 4.1.0 including the instructions on another thread. I haven't proceeded yet. Still reading and researching as I do not find them very clear. My fault as I don't have much experience with android. Hoping I can upgrade to 4.1.0 with only CWM but still not sure.

Hi,
I am fairly new to this and need advice on how to root my samsung galaxy s.
Details below:
Android 2.1
Baseband Version : I9000XXJM2
Kernal Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number : ECLAIR.XWJM3
Any assistance as to how i need to root the phone, new kernals and latest ROM will be appreciated
Using the search function and reading before opening a new thread is generally considered the best way to go about it my friend.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Reading & searching is always a good idea but often if new you don't really know what to search for so here is a little help.
If you just want root then go to cf-root Read through at least the first post. it is a lot but very helpful.
What you usually want is the cf-root with the last three characters of your build number. If it doesn't match try get one that is close. If you plan to flash a custom ROM then it doesn't matter to much which one you have.
If you want an easy way to have root and the ability to flash custom ROMS you may as well start with DarkyResurrection. It has an easy to follow thread and the download has everything you need in one download.
Alternatively if your goal is to get ICS then here are two tutorials that will get you through the whole process from beginning to end which I recommend doing either one of. Once done you will be in a great position to move onto any ICS ROM, Kernel or Modem you like. My personal favourite is Slim ICS with semaphore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966 (slightly more current ROM)
ICS list of Roms & Kernels
ICS benchmark thread
List of Modems
Lastly a great Samsung Galaxy Resource site: SamMobile. You need to register but it is free.
There are 2 ways that I know of to root your phone depending on what you want to do going ahead.
If you want to install a custom rom, then follow the instructions given above.
But if you want to keep your stock rom and root your phone to install some apps that work only on rooted phones then I would suggest that you use the SuperOneClick method.
Let me know if you need instructions for the SuperOneClick method and I will be happy to share it with you.
Cheers :thumbup:

Install samsung kies and update to gingerbread. Then do cf-root.
I would advise to first upgrade to GB, which is much better version of OS than Eclair. If you are not able to upgrade using kies, you learn how to upgrade here: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/
Then how to root here: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-i9000-rooting-gt-i9000-2-3-3-india-ddjv9.47/

and do i also have to unroot my samsung ace again? or just flash the new file?

so here are some of my ace's info
model number: GT-S5830
android version: 2.3.6 (is this stock one?) \
Kernel Version: [email protected]#1 (not the stock one right? since i rooted my fone?)
Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXKT5
pls do give me the link to the right root file and CWM for my ace also do i have to unroot my phone since i rooted it already?
and also what ROM should i install? one with no lags and problems

If you get bootloop do 3 wipes via cwm recovery
if you can transfer files wihtout a cable look at my signature
if you want to unroot your device flash this UNROOT even you can flash a fresh stock rom via Odin and you'll lost root and cwm

i recommend you flash stock rom onto your device through odin first, as it will get rid of any root and stuff like that, and then flash these flashable zips, i have never tried unroot, i always reflash my rom if i need to do something

hi friends i have captivate for more than 4 years never rooted it or did anything

other think what i need to do in order to use this rom.. like su and cwm a guide will be helpful
and if my phone get locks to network how can i unlock it network again
- Your phone can't be more than 4 years old. Captivate was announced in June 2010.
- Once unlocked it will stay unlocked after JB upgrade.
- Follow this very clear and easy to understand guide for upgrade procedure.
- Start with CM 10.1, this ROM is the base for almost all JB ROMs for Captivate. You can flash after whatever you want.
- You may need to replace your battery.

About upgrade process just read the guide. It contains all answers to your questions.
The last official ROM for Captivate is GB based Samsung TW, all ICS/JB upgrades are custom ROMs.
[Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection) is the very first sticky thread in Captivate Android Development section.
Please, spend some time to read the information provided on XDA before asking basic questions. Many knowledgeable people sacrificed a lot of there free time to explain everything you need to know about Captivate. Before you run into problems, try to understand the upgrade/downgrade process. And be very careful when playing with images containing bootloaders. Unsuccessful attempt to flash bootloaders will hard brick the phone and this will be the end of all your questions. Good luck!

I don't know what "sense 5 launcher" is, but I can make almost any launcher mimic Sense interface using corresponding themes, icon packs, widgets, etc. - all available for free on Google Play. Note that you will not be able to 100% duplicate Sense interface features unless you buy a HTC phone. All HTC additions to Android OS are proprietary software and not available for download/use on non-HTC devices.

Many knowledgeable people sacrificed a lot of there free time to explain everything you need to know about Captivate. Before you run into problems, try to understand the upgrade/downgrade process. And be very careful when playing with images containing bootloaders. Unsuccessful attempt to flash bootloaders will hard brick the phone and this will be the end of all your questions. Good luck!

In order to run ICS/JB ROMs you need to have GB bootloaders. In other words, it depends where you start from. If you start from 2.1/2.2, then you need to update the bootloaders. If you start from 2.3.x, then no need to flash bootloaders. This is also explained in the guide. Same thing with stock ROMs. If you never had GB running on your phone and you want to flash KK4, then you need the package with GB bootloaders.
Just a warning
When flashing the bootloaders theres more chance of something to go wrong. I bricked a phone permanently like that.

presently am on GB 2.3.5 I897UCKK4 so i dont need bootloader.. and only by rooting and cwm i can flash any of my desired rom base on GB/ICS/JB
^
Since u r on KK4 u should have the GB Bootloaders. (Unless u see a total pixelated screen when u boot ur phone. If u do, then u don't have the Bls. Otherwise ur good to go.)
And here is a [Utility]KK4 Easy Root by Red_81 that u can gain Root access through and also get the KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery so that u can proceed with flashin ur rom of choice.
See post # 4 in the thread linked for a workin download...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26710533&postcount=1
And in my opinion, i would suggest stayin away from flashing ICS Roms, because of the possible encryption unsuccessful bug.

Why you want to flash something that you already have on your phone?
Buddy, seriously, have you read the upgrade to JB guide in post #2?

I give up... This question is also covered in details.
Hi all I've not done this before but not noob to the unlocking scene just first time for Android.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
Firmware Version 2.3.5
Baseband Version I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
What I'm looking to do is unlock it to allow me to use any network (currently orange).
after that I would then like to look at changing the rom or upgrading to the latest Rom's where able for SIII & S4. :victory:
I've spend a while reading other post so clearer than others but none that can help me as I'm having trouble finding the correct Kernel.
Please any and all help would be most appreciated.:cyclops:
plenty of unlock apps in the market

then follow this tutorial to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
Update on advice
Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:
Now does this mean I'm rooted and don't have to follow all the steps that the link above advices
no need if already got busybox installed

Thanks for comments, can I ask now its rooted do I need to install anything else to allow me to change the Rom's such as newer official ones or once others are raving about.
Thanks.
updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate

Congratulations on accomplishing your unlock. Now you might be helped with a good, rich toolbox and clear guides
I'm referring you to some wonderful threads I've come across during similar quests of my own.
(It's all there; but asking the right questions and not seeing the wood for the trees will always remain tricky )
So here are my top three suggestions for your toolbox, in order of importance and relevance. You might find some overlap among them.

As to what ROM to choose, I seriously like to push my own (eventual) ROM of choice, Mackay ROM (Unless gaming on the phone is your thing, which might bring up desires and demands that other ROMs serve even better.)
Good luck!
(And if this post was helpful, please hit THANKS. Thanks )
