I have put together some steps to take your fresh KA6 2.2 Official update and add Root and ClockworkMod Recovery. It may look hard, but should only take a couple minutes.
This is without ODIN or ROMS.
Steps:
0. Have yourself a T-Mobile Vibrant and PC Running Windows.
1. Use SuperOneClick (latest) to root phone. When you run the application, click the first button on the left and wait for the process to complete. Details will be scrolling in the middle window.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682)
2. Use a file manager (ROOT EXPLORER) or adb with root access to mount /system/ and remove bloatware (SLACKERRADIO and AMAZONMP3 and such) from /system/app/
2a. TOTAL NOOBS: Get SUPER MANAGER from the market (FREE). Then grant it root by going into SUPER MANAGER and selecting File Manager > [Menu BUTTON] > Setup > Enable ROOT function. Then go up levels, the top button on the file manager which will take you up a directory, until you get to / and scroll to the bottom and select [system]. Then select [app]. Then click [Menu BUTTON] > Switch System to R/W and press R/W. Scroll down and long press the slackerradio.apk to delete. You can do this too amazon market to delete and other useless apps.
3. YOU NEED STEP 2 TO DO THIS STEP! Install Busybox from Market and run Busybox Installer to ensure its properly working and the latest is installed.
4. Run SuperOneClick again to place phone into shell root ADB (Second button from the left). Allow the process to run and then a pop up will say something about rebooting the phone. DO NOT DO THIS, continue on to the next step.
5. While in shell root from the previous step, run (3e) to (2e) modified recovery script. The instructions are simple. Download, unzip, and run the batch file found inside. This is ran from the COMPUTER NOT YOUR PHONE. Use the menu system to complete and then reboot as recommended. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423).
5a. NOT NOOBS: you can copy over the recovery yourself to /system/bin as mentioned by some commenters. If you do not know what this is, then ignore it.
6. Remove any update.zip files from /sdcard/ and also remove any ClockworkMod directories using your favorite file manager or by mounting to a computer with a wire and activating the drive for My Computer. This is the internal one, not external.
7. Use ROM MANAGER from market to install ClockworkMod Recovery and reboot. This is free to download. When you launch, select the top item to install the recovery and then a menu will pop up to choose the phone you have. Happily select Vibrant. Once that's done, select reboot into recover right below that.
8. Re-install packages and it should reboot. You can navigate the menu using VOL UP AND DOWN and power to select.
9. Re-install packages again and it should boot into Clockwork Recovery. It should change form BLUE TO GREEN
ALL DONE.
That should do it for ya! Let me know if it worked out. Please follow all steps and don't cut corners.
Should you need to get back to ClockworkMod Recovery, you can use "adb reboot recovery" and re-install packages, or reboot into recovery with ROM MANAGER.
Edit Rev.a: added a step (6) Made the instructions more precise and added additional steps to clear up some confusion.(1-22-11)
Edit Rev.b: Added step 2a from request. root explorer is not free so use super, that works too. (1-24-11)
Edit Rev.c: Added more detail to the steps and added supplemental info for replacing the recovery with the modified one. (1-27-11)
Edit Rev.d: Super1Click has updated, so latest? works.
Side note: I do step 4 because from my experience, I had trouble getting the modified 3e script to get root. Figured might as well just give it root to begin with.
Side note: Yes I am aware that there are other methods and different ways. This was the noob way for me to convey it to the masses. I still do appreciate all feedback regardless of what it is. Thanks!

Not to hijack your thread...
Yea I know, but I wanted to find a way without ODIN.
added ur blurp
Reinstalling packages does not seem to work for me. Every time I click it and it reboots it keeps going into the samsung recovery menu... Help?
Does it give an error for signing or just looks like its working then reboots?
Looks like it works and then reboots
I didn't do this step though, would it affect anything?
2.Use a file manager or adb with root access to mount /system/ and remove bloatware (SLACKER and AMAZONMP3) from /system/app/
Double check if there is a update.zip and clockworkmod folder with a zip in it on your internal memory. I think the external card changed directories with the 2.2 update.
EDIT: infact, remove any update.zip and clockwork folder from the internal memory and run ROM MANAGER again and fresh download the clockwork 2.5.1.2. then check and confirm its on the internal. should be /sdcard/
once its confirmed there, then try again to reboot into recovery with rom manager

I would highly suggest doing that step. The system is full to begin with. Use Root Explorer and grant access, then mount system into r/w and remove the stupid stuff. You should do this to get Busybox on (AS IN BEFORE YOU INSTALL BUSYBOX)
What does busybox do?

Got it working man, thanks.
Awesome! Good to hear. This is my first tutorial and I'm stoked that its working well for others.
I've been an XDA visitor since my AT&T Titan WM6 days. I've done alot of flashing and modding since then and have always been able to find solutions without asking until now. This clockwork recovery issue is kicking my butt.
I am having trouble with steps 4 & 5.
what are the specific buttons to press on superoneclick in step 4?
How exactly do I use the file 3(e)_recovery_installer?
Thanks for any help.

4. Run SuperOneClick again to place phone into root shell ADB
For this step, run SuperOneClick from before, the same you used to root. The second button says "Shell Root". Click that Wait for it to say you have shell root until you reset.
5. Run (3e) to (2e) modified recovery script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423)
Just download the attachment in the first post and follow instructions. Its fairly simple process. Keep in mind, this may not work unless your phone is shell root from step 4
Thank you Nothingness. Cleared it right up. Worked perfectly.

I've read the guides, tried manual and the simple download from the Android Market. Here's what happens:
I've rooted my Thrill with SuperOneClick 2.1.1. It was a successful root from what I can tell, it added Superuser into my apps, and I was able to download Rom Manager from the Android Market.
If I try using Rom Manager and click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" It appears to install. But when I hit "Reboot into Recovery" it just reboots like normal.
If I try to manually get into recovery mode by holding volume down and the 3D button it just boots into the stock recovery mode.
When I try to manually install Clockwork and copy recovery.img to /data with cmd I get this:
failed to copy recovery.img permission denied

This is covered in the cwm thread in development section you need to use a file explorer that has root access and change permissions to the /data folder. You can use es file explorer, its free. Open it go into settings then browse as root... not really sure exact steps but they are in the came thread.
O my such a small step I missed! Thank you! Ill try this later today.
Permissions of /data are set to R/W but I still get the same error..
I'm starting to wonder if the cause of this is because I tried using Rom Manager to flash clockwork, THEN tried the adb method. Maybe it already being there is causing the permission denied?
edit: so it looks like it was as simple as me looking over the permissions and thinking I saw everything was checked, but really the two checks from the left under "other" were grayed out lol, checking those fixed it.
Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.
A few questions:

How far into the boot sequence does it get?
Are you able to get into recovery?
If so, what recovery do you have (Stock vs CWM)?

I used CWM to flash AOSP 4.1.2. It seemed to work fine for a day or two, but then it needed charging (as normal). I let it charge over night and in the morning it had less battery. I figured the charger or cable were flaky so I tried another set on another outlet and same thing. Then it finally ran out of battery. I let it charge again over night and when I tried to turn it on it was really slow. The boot animation was only 1 frame every couple seconds. It would eventually boot all the way up, but it was still REALLY slow. So I went into CWM and reflashed the same ROM. Then I got a boot loop of the boot animation. I couldn't get into CWM any more, so then I went into download mode and flashed the official firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

Now when I turn it on it just says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can flash again with ODIN and it will get to the Samsung boot animation and just pulse SAMSUNG.

If I hold power and volume down I can get into download mode or Samsung recovery, not CWM, and power with volume up doesn't do anything.

This worked for me with similar problem
Hi Spazlon,
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!
Thanks to kallt_kaffe and all the others who helped me through their various posts (hope that coffee isn't getting too cold again), as well as the following web sites that indirectly helped me resolve this issue googleymind.com/2011/11/guide-so-you-think-you-bricked-your.html#.UJUNN8XAd8G and galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
Good luck.
Thanks! I'll give this a try when I get home. I'll let you know how it works out.
Don't ever try to 'repartion unless you really know what you're doing. You're soft bricked. Repartion and you'll hard brick.
I'd go back and get hc from sammobile and flash that with Odin. Ics has had some problems.

Agreed - my procedure avoids manual repartitioning - I tried lots of other procedures but none worked. I think my data partition had become corrupt because I kept getting error messages. My first try was to recover with my cwm recovery file I made originally but I kept getting back to the boot loop .

I followed the steps outlined by mobjunky and was able to get an official Honeycomb ROM installed, boot the official and copy my custom ROM and CWM 6.0.0.8 on it. Then install CWM 5.4.0.4 followed by 6.0.0.8.
Now my problem is that any custom ROM I put on there just does a boot screen loop. I tried CM10 and the latest AOSP. To install the ROMs I just booted into CWM, installed the ROM from zip, then installed the gapps. I've tried with and without formatting the cache, user data, and Dalkiv, same results.
What am I doing wrong? I have loaded tons of ROMs on this before without any issues, then all of a sudden I can't get anything except official loaded.

did a format /system before installing the custom roms? This is an important step.

You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!

Gee thanks. This saved my tab. I'd almost given up on it and then voila.
Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D) for Nexus 7 Wifi and 3G+
Manual Update Available [Updated]
Install:
Those with a custom recovery can just download the zip below, move it to their device, and flash away. If you're running stock recovery, substituting only the zip file name in Step 2.
Just after users began reporting that your Google Nexus N7 device were receiving an update to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (build JOP40C, to be precise), it looks like the manual update package is available for download. As could be expected, this coincides almost perfectly with the launch of Google's newest additions to the Nexus family – the Nexus 4 and 10.
For those ready to download and install manually, the process is easy. If you have a custom recovery, just download the zip (linked below), move it to your device, and flash as usual. Those with stock recovery should keep the file on their computer, and just follow a few easy instructions:
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible in case of brick of your device - proceed at your own risk.
Step 1.
- Reboot your Google Nexus 7, holding the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons while it boots up. Once you see the fastboot menu and "Start," press Volume Up to navigate to "Recovery" and press the power button. Once you see an Android with a red exclamation point icon, press Volume Up and the Power button together, which will bring you to a new menu. Navigate to "apply update from adb."
Step 2.
- Connect your Google N7 to your computer with a USB cable.
- Make sure you have a recent version of adb that supports the sideload command (if you don't, download the latest Android SDK to ensure your adb is up-to-date).
- Open up a command prompt (cmd in Windows, regular shell in Linux and Mac) in the same directory as the JOP40C zip file you've downloaded.
Type in the following:
For the Nexus 7 "NAKASI"
Code:
adb sideload 659e6288b87d.signed_nakasi_JOP40D_from_JOP40C.659e6288.zip
For the Nexus7 3G+ "NAKASIG
Code:
adb sideload 65880f56b1c0.signed-nakasig-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.65880f56.zip
You should see a progress bar, which will eventually hit 100%. At this point, your device is installing the update.
Step 3.
- Reboot and enjoy! You are now running Android 4.2.1 on your Nexus
I modified my OP and put online the updates for both versions of Nexus 7
Hello
The link for the wifi N7 is broken I think
My N7 is rooted, stock rom, cwm recovery, voodoo ota rootkeeper, supersu. I d/l the update from Droid Life and copied it from my computer to the N7 internal storage. Booted into cwm recovery, chose to install zip from sdcard, chose the d/l'd file from the /0 folder (filename 659e6288b....zip), chose to reboot system, answered 'Yes' to preventing flashing stock recovery, answered 'Yes' to keeping root. All is good. Still have root and cwm recovery.

I had this problem with the first 4.2 update and now the same again with 4.2.1.
Last time I had to put the bootloader back to stock (drastic) to get the update,.
sideload doesnt work either.

I surprised that you don't know how to use the command lines,
And if you think about the new users , they can read a lot of guide which explain how use the command lines. It's one of the basic of installations under Android
and it's not the usefulness of this post !!!

With a lot of pleasure
The download link for the Nexus 7 wifi aka "NAKASI" is repaired
Downloaded update from official Google link, flashed in CWM Recovery, kept bootloader, kept root. All is well.
Help Help PLEASE
OK I did everything and the update worked for JOP40C. I`m running stock so no rooting.
Then I wanted to upgrade to JOP40D.
I got to just after the little green android with the exclamation mark on it. I then held the Power button and the Up button. Instead of getting the next menu it just died on me. :crying:
So what now?
I went through this project step by step and was just about to flash manually when the OTA symbol magically appeared in my bar.
Oh well... I guess I'll take the easy way this time.

Use the update by OTA...let's go
Running 4.2, rooted, CWM latest recovery (forget version). I had previously done the clear data from one of the Google apps and succesfully got my 4.2 from 4.1.2 OTA - CWM handled it just fine. I didn't want to take any chances doing that again, I downloaded this file, flashed in CWM, rebooted and all seems fine. Still have root, still have swype, still have cerberus.
Thanks OP!
Edit: Due to the new /0/ emulated sdcard for multiple users, I copied the zip file to my sdcard through windows - but CWM couldn't see it. I had to navigate to /0/ and then CWM could see it. Just a heads up.

Hi.
By mistake I upload 32bit recovery to my 64 bit desire.
Factory Reset and Recovery don't work.
How can I fix this.
Please help me guys.
Don't worry, you will be fine. You need to boot into Fastboot and from the computer run
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and install the proper update for your phone. Do you have a RUU for your phone? If not, where are you and what is your carrier? Based on that I may have the right file for you.

I from Poland.
I only unlock bootloader .
Smartphone was buyed in ERA center.
Sorry but i'm noob.
android 4.4.3
version: htc sense
software version: 1.14.118.1
level htc sdk api
compilation version 1.14.118.1 CL383628 release keys
No need to be sorry! From what you told me I imagine you are with T-Mobile. If you are with Orange let me know and I will see if I have the file you need. If you are with T-Mobile do this:
1. Get this file https://mega.co.nz/#!yFRFBQxS!84jrZOLXKCvamxSGTcHNIuGeL3onkk7mZrK5kzjAmQU
2. Boot into Fastboot mode
3. From the PC run
Code:
fastboot devices
and you should see a reference for your phone.
4. From the PC run
Code:
fastboot oem lock
5. Execute the file you downloaded in step 1 Do this:
5.1. Rename it to 0PCVIMG.zip [That is a zero on the first character]
5.2. Place it on the your SD card [on the root of the card]
5.3. Reboot to HBoot and it will automatically install.
6. This step is optional, but I would recommend it. Unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, install root, do a TWRP backup. OPS...BETTER NOT... I THINK WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR A RECOVERY FOR YOU PHONE. I would just unlock the bootloader and this way when a recovery comes out for your phone you will be all set.
7. You should be happy now... let us know.
Remember, be patient... some of these steps take time... even booting for the first time takes a long time.

I don't know how install this. Do I have to put this file in sd-card and run HBOT ?
Or install it in another way?
Sorry, I thought it was a .exe file; it's not, it's a zip file. Do this:
1. Rename it to 0PCVIMG.zip [That is a zero on the first character]
2. Place it on the your SD card [on the root of the card]
3. Reboot to HBoot and it will automatically install.
Let us know how you made out.

***** FORGET IT - YOU DO NOT HAVE RECOVERY YET *******
nasiono, the last sentence on the previous post reads: "Let us know how you made out." Did you do that? No. Also, in the last post, if you look at the lower right corner, there is a button that says Thanks! which you should hit, specially considering that in order to get the file that I shared with you costed me $15 or something like that.
ah... well... here you go... you better bring me a chicken or pig for me to roast for the weekend...
Download http://download.chainfire.eu/641/Sup...erSU-v2.40.zip and store it on the SD card, reboot to recovery, select install, select the file UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip and you should be all set.
