I'm new to the galaxy tab (att) and have a couple questions. So for all I've done is root the device. I'd like to at a minimum convert my file system to ext4. Can I flash modaco's kernal to convert to ext4? I have the jk1 stock firmware. I've read about protective bootloaders and am apprehensive about flashing anything until I know I wont throw my device into a bootloop. I'm familiar with the captivate flashing process and all of the custom Roms and tend to stick with customized stock Roms like cognition. Would flashing Modaco's kernel be the equivelent of stock + voodoo on the captivate? Stock feel with a better file system? Are there any risks of flashing it over jk1?

OK I've looked many places found different answers some do not work and yes I know I can flash all the improved Tom's etc.
Just wondering I rooted with z4root and flashed cwm with Odin then through rom manager and stayed stock otherwise; is there a way to hide or remove cement to get to ota?

Afaik, you'll have to flash the stock recovery and possibly the stock kernel through Odin. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I just got a used SGS off of my local classified ads to replace my little galaxy gio, and I have already successfully rooted it and removed 35mb of bloatware. I now want to flash a custom recovery to it and get rolling with custom roms. Except it is the M version. I can flash my galaxy gio with any roms and recoveries because thy are so close. So I am wondering if the same applies here. Can I flash any i9000 Rom and recovery on my i9000m?
New Question:
Why is it that when i flash a new kernel, i automatically get a new CWM? On my galaxy gio, i could keep my custom recovery from rom to rom, kernel to kernel etc.
Are there any kernels that leave the recovery alone?

Yes, it is basically the same phone. Just don't flash anything that is i9000B (Brazil I believe, as that is different). E.g. I am currently trying ICS333 2.0.1 with semaphore 1.2 kernel.
I think only difference is the modem: )So, yes.

Sounds like you're in Canada like I am. To make sure your cell coverage is still strong just flash your modem and csc back to kg3 by using odin. You can use any pda you like as long as it is for I9000 or I9000m. This is a great resource I use for firmware.

Sounds like you've already made it that far but what I always do is flash my modem and csc in odin after I install a custom rom. The bell Canada firmware is in the above link under north America 2.3.3. Just extract the files and use only the modem and csc.

Just flash custom kernel and you will have root, recovery etc.Look at dev section. Cf root, Semaphore, Speedmod...Choose what you want

Removed, solved my own problem.
I have a Canadian device and want to flash some att roms, but quite a few contain auto loki now. I want to flash the roms and then Canadian compatible kernels after, so is it possible to just edit the update script so that it doesn't flash the loki or kernel? If so hopefully do I identify which lines are the ones to delete?

Edit : I tried flashing a att rom already and I edited out the assert prop at the beginning, it ran the install but failed half way through, I guess when it tried to flash the lokified kernel.... Is this failure just accomplishing what I am aiming for, the rom without the kernel?

I've used it on a couple roms now and they work 100%
Hello all, long time lurker here with a couple if questions. Not new to rooting: I've rooted an HTC Inspire, HTC One X, and finally this bad boy. This is definitely a different experience and there seems to be a lot of info that developers assume you know but even after reading everything recommended I still feel very confused. I am on the MDL baseband, rooted and flashed with the 4.3 GPE version which I think was pulled from a nexus variant. Here are my questions:
1) Are there any stock, rooted, Touch Wiz ROMs with the AT and T bloat removed?
2) What does Loki do, and if not explicitly stated that it's used in a ROM, do I install it before flashing the ROM or after?
Sent from my SGH-1337 using xda app-developers app
There's plenty, and you can flash ROMs from any S4 variant though you might need to flash an at&t kernel. Loki is our method to bypass the locked bootloader, and if you flash a ROM without it then it won't boot.

Thanks for the reply! I can't seem to find any ROMs in the Android Development forum that are described as such.

1.) Check out Shostock. It's built from stock source and works very well. It is pretty close to what you are looking for.

I like iB's GoldenEye rom. Has zip to delete bloat. You can open zip and delete lines you don't want deleted. IE I delete S-Memo from script so it doesn't delete it from rom. Perfect rom for me, good battery life also. Very smooth.
I'm new to the S5 I already rooted my phone but I would like to flash custom roms. I been reading how to use SS what I don't get is can I flash on stock slot or I have to create one? I know on the guide says we are suppose to create a slot but some guys here on the forum say we can flash on the stock one.

I believe flashing to stock rom slot is currently disabled in SS.

Why would it be "disabled"? I've been flashing custom Roms to my stock slot on my N3 AND S5 without any issues... even as recent as about 45 mins ago.
To the OP... A lot of people make a nandroid backup of their system and store it on their external SD card and PC and then flash whatever ROM they want in the stock slot. I prefer it that way so that I always have a correct reading on my storage space. Sure, every now and then I flash something that isn't for me or is very buggy but I just re-flash my backup and I'm good to go. Besides, having the ability to flash the stock firmware via Odin makes it a lot less scary as you can always go back to stock firmware if all else fails.
