[Q] From Froyo to Overcome_4.1.0 - How to be safe? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
A simple question (I hope):
From Froyo P1000BVJM8 (Orange France) with a protected bootloader and without root, what first step would you recommend in order to install Overcome_4.1.0 as safely as possible:
1) Flash directly GB_Stock_Safe_V5?
2) Root the phone and patch the bootloader (then flash GB_Stock_Safe_V5)?
Cheers,
Pierre.

only step 2.
step 1 apparently will brick your tab.

Thanks for your answer,
Is it safe to patch the boorloader with Chainfire patch? I have read that patching bootloaders was a bit ai risk.

Just another thought: A protected Froyo bootloader should not prevent from upgrading to an official Samsung GB ROM, right? What if I flash an official GB Samsung ROM via Odin first ? (Well GB_Stock_Safe_V5 is already an official Samsumg ROM, maybe?)
Thanks,
Pierre

That was my thought and you might have seen me posting that opinion before.
I was told it is not correct.
Do you dare to try?

Probably not
By the way, Chainfire seems to consider that patching the bootloader is quite risky ? Is it true, or just a general warning about playing with bootloaders?
Many thanks for your quick and usefull answers.
Pierre.

General warning, I assume.
If you would brick a tab, it will be through a failed flash of bootloader.

Good News !!
I was given the Tab today. After a Factory Reset and rooting, Chainfire patch told me bootloader is not protected !
Overcome flashing is for tomorrow !!
Thanks Priyana !

new rom so people can give feedback on it maybe? i dont see why this is any different fromthe other rom threads, everyone is having a discussion about that particular rom
keeps it rom specific and less clutter in other areas as far as im concerned
Installed it. I don't see any different than A-Memo icons than LA6. Will stick to this ROM till ICS release.

[Q] How to root Galaxy Note without losing warranty!!

I recently updated my Galaxy note GT-n7000 via kies..
baseband version is N7000DDLA2.
I want a guide on how to root my Note without losing my warranty..
Thanks in advance friends
Check Dr Ketan's guide in the ROM forum.

Root Loses warranty
So is it possible "to lose warranty without losing it?" got it ?
yeah you can always unroot it to regain warranty.
N your ROM is non rootable, directly, you have to downgrade first.
Do what Zamboney said you in previous post.
Dont be afraid, you will not use warranty if you respect the treads of cds dev, they are very good, and the gnote is strong !

Sorry, I want to say xda dev's, not cds.

This is my understanding too. Bear in mind that as soon as official updates are released a developer here will make it available on xda. This means you often get updates before you would normally (because they are rolled out at different times depending on carrier and region).

Once you install CWM, you can deodex your stock firmware without any problem :good:
No need to flash another ROM to do that.

Odexed roms work faster than deodexed. If you don't plan to modify your rom don't deodex it. Though there are many mods for odexed roms too.

[SOLVED] How do I unroot and flash stock firmware/kernel?

I have to send in my phone to the service center and there are only a few days left of warranty.
I am sorry if this is a totally worn-out question but I couldn't find a thread that addressed both of my concerns.
I want a way to unroot and flash a stock firmware. ( I am running a custom rom and kernel as well)
Links to guides would be much helpful. Keep it simple cause I am just a layman
So a simple guide to unroot and flash stock firmware/kernel, please. And thank you.

If you flashed ics then flash GB rom and then go into recovery and wipe data and cache. Do the same if on jb.
