Going to flash my stock VZW tab tomorrow- what would everyone suggest for the best rom to start with?
Thanks for replys!!!
Im running the stock rom with all the bloat Titaniumed out, and running adw ex launcher... the roms that are out for CDMA right now are too personalized for my taste...
However the KhasMek Voodoo Plus v3 OC Kernal is aaaaaaamazing!!! and definitely install Voodoo control App... again its aaaaaamazing!!
So i flahed the khasmek voodoo rom. So sorry if this is a dumb question, but why wasn't the market installed? I tried to install it, but it just kept crashing.
Thanks!

I had the same problem... plus my email would routinely give me an error, again making it crash... and it also brought up a process.acore error about every 3 min... so i just went back to stock, installed the kernal only and now customized my own rom
What's it take to just install the kernel? has it affected the stability
So can i just flash the kernel only with sgs kernel flasher?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
honestly not sure about with sgs flasher... I used Hiemdall... all you have to do is:
1. put your tab into DL mode
2. plug into your comp
3. open the driver package, in the driver folder that comes with hiemdall
4. tell it to list all devices, chose Samsung USB composite, and upload the driver
5. open the hiemdall frontend
6. put the kernal file in the kernal and recovery slot
7. flash... done
hope this helps
and stability is great!! havent had a single problem and I run the hell out of my tab almost all day
yeah dont use sgs flasher. i doubt thats safe
Thanks admir1. Are you using the overclocked kernel or just the regular 1?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I didnt know I was supposed to put the tab in DL mode, I just mounted it and it came up as samsung tablet in the drivers section, thats what installed. Did I screw it up for this PC to work for flashing now?
I think you should be fine? As long as when you flashed the kernal in hiemdall it said successful you should be good to go...
And I'm using the OC kernal

Definitely get the voodoo control appfrom the market too!! The sound is simply incredible!!

So after receiving my replacement vibrant i've decided to simply root and use some of the apps i used to like. Assuming i don't end up breaking under pressure and flashing a ROM, will things such as morphs and changing system apps not allow an OTA to successfully flash and boot? I did apply a black bar mod with an accurate battery but other than that i've done nothing but app related activities that require root. So, say when the official 2.2 comes out, would i have to revert my framework to stock as well before accepting the update? Like I said, currently I remain on stock JI6 with the stock kernel.
I think you need to be completely stock, no mods, for an ota to take. If not you'll most likely brick

That's not true. You can have all kinds of mods. The only thing you need is touchwiz running during the ota time frame and you will get it.

For instance I was running jfd and jacs oc/uv kernel and a battery mod + a meta morph theme and no home replacement app and I got the update

yeah, but did it work? were your mods still there? i was told that having a different kernel will not allow the update to come through
My phone went to stock . Booted up with stock ji6 with ji6 kernel . I had to reroot even though my super user app was still there and reapply mods just like when you odin a stock rom . The only difference was my apps stayed in system/app and system/app-private and carried over with the update.

Hmm, I was just basing my comment on all the threads saying there were modded and ended up brickin...i havent even got the update yet so I dont know for sure

The ones that bricked were probably running voodo . That changes things... So if your running stock jfd and a voodo kernel your most likely to brick. But odin will save you.
O and you haven't recieved the ota yet?? That sucks. Why havent you used keys mini from samsung thats an official way to upgrade.

All I had at the time was root, clockwork rom, titanium backup and launcher pro and mine bricked (well soft bricked)...
Now, I'm running bionix 1.9.1 and loving it...hahahaha
Ive never used mini kies before, I wouldnt trust my old ass pc, I try not to use odin too much either

Guys im ruining on nero v3 and jk6 modern and the voodoo 5 stick kernel that came with nero v3, with voodo enabled. so problem is that I run out of battery fast faster than stock jl6 on 2.1,so what is the best kernel with good battery life and performance. Stock kernel gives me some lag. So il avoid that one.
FYI: Voodoo will ALWAYS drain your battery faster than stock.
it happened to me too. i went in recovery, advance and wipe the battery stat and now the battery last much longer.

Why do you say? Voodoo uses stock kernels except it converts partitions to ext4.

I'm not entirely sure why but I think its because the system has to constantly convert the data to ext4 rather than having a native rfs. Don't take my explanation as fact though. But from personal experience and countless posts from others, its known that Voodoo will always drain faster than stock.
The easiest way to root your device would be to go into the development section and there is a post at the very top that says the vibrant bible and download the one click root or one of the other methods listed. That will root your device then u need to go to the market and download Rom Manager. Then find a custom Rom that u like and put it on the internal sd card. I am using Eugene's macnut r14. After u put it where it goes then go into Rom Manager and click flash clockwork mod recovery. It will have a list of phones click on the vibrant. After it downloads click on boot into recovery. It may take u to the stock recovery, if it does move down using the volume down button and select "Reinstall Packages" using the power button it should then take u to clockwork mod. In there click install zip from sd card. Scroll down using the volume down button and select it using the power button again. Then once u find the rom click the power button again once it is highlighted. It will ask are u sure that u want to install this. Scroll down and select yes. And that is it you are then done and now will have 2.2 if the rom u picked had it. Also before u install the rom but after u root the device download Titanium Backup and make a backup of all your apps and that will also save your data with those apps. If u need any help feel free to P.M. me because that is easier then finding this thread again.

Im no noob when it comes to flashing but I flashed back to stock using odin last week, immediately afterwards I flashed back to nero v3. So today I flashed eugenes super io kernel after disabling voodoo of course, went into oclf to enable the lag fix but to my surprise its saying my phone isn't rooted?? So the option of installing the lag fix isn't available to me. Yet I've been able to flash custom roms???? I don't get it

Right now im on bauxite kernel and before i did that i tried too backup the stock kernel but couldn't so i flashed anyways and everything was fine till a day ago that it keeps saying my sd card is write protected when i try too copy from my pc too ssd no matter what i do And it think its also a cdrom drive to..
So i figure it has too be something with the kernel and i cant find a stock sprint firmware anywhere,
So does anyone have there's that they backed up? Hopefully someone does so i could see if it fixes this sd problem
Wow nobuddy?
I only rooted my sprint tab.
Will that do for you?
Or does it means that it isn`t a stock fw anymore?
If you tell me how to get the fw off my tab I will upload it for you

That would've been great even with it rooted, But futuregerald just posted his couple hours ago in bauxite thread.
But thanks anyways!
You could use sgs kernel flasher which i highly recommend before you do anything with the kernel, But you could also download futuregerald kernel
hi. I have a samsung vibrant running the official FroYo rom. I flashed a stock+voodoo JA6 kernel and I cant disable the lagfix. I have created the "disable voodoo" file in the voodoo folder and when I reboot I hear the voice say "converting filesytem" it boots up, and when I run quadrant I see 1496, I've tried to reboot several times, and it won't disable. Is it possible to flash another kernel over with odin? I would like my phone stock again.
Do you have red clockwork? If so disable voodoo through there, but I haven't had a issue flashing kernels without disabling voodoo.
If you flashing a voodoo rom to a voodoo rom, usually not a problem ,but some of the roms are built very differently, and not knowing which rom is compatible with which, to me, it is way easier just to disable voodoo then flash
But i have flashed without disabling and and only got soft bricked a couple of times.......
when in doubt....disable.
i realize its a total pain in the ass, but whenever i got lazy and softbricked, i always ended up wishing i just showed a little patience and disabled.....no one wants to ODIN unless they have to.
OP,
Have you tried the Voodoo Toggle app in the market to disbale voodoo?
I have tried to disable it in clockwork, it just says its converting, but after running quadrant it still shows 1500

Try the app I mentioned please.
Just tried the app. It says I should flash a kernel that supports controls

If you want your phone stock use the AIO toolbox to odin to stock and then use kies to update to 2.2.
Delete the disable voodoo file you made, reboot, try the app again

I am having a few problems with rooting my Galaxy S.
I have looked for hours at different threads about different root methods and different kernels but I am not sure which root method and kernel to use.
I am running Gingerbread 2.3.3 XVJVH. Can somebody give me some advice and provide me with a link to rooting instructions with your preferred method please?
Thanks

Hy!
I'm using already rooted kernel's like SpeedMod.You can try with this---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519(but this is for 2.3.4 but should work on 2.3.3)
I have tried all root versions with JVP, almost to the point to brick the phone and I came to the following conclusion why do all the kernels remove the bootanimation sound????
I reinstalled the original stock JVH because JVP has a huge battery drain not explicitely on the usage settings but with the same usage of applications on a daily routine the phone wouldn't last 14 hours. With JPY and now JVH, the battery last almost 48 hours.
I just want to have root to install the daily briefing from JVP and to calibrate the GPS but there is no rooting method nor kernel which stick to stock rom implementing only root, busybox and su and the rest to remain untouched....either the bootanimation sound is removed or you get extra tweaks when you are not using it...so anynone for a minimalist rooting?
Try fuguroot.
Tried it. it removes the boot animation sound, so all the other root method...
You could try with one-click root but i'm not sure that will work on 2.3.3

it doesn't work either...see my desperation?
Flash speedmod kernel
Apply root from recovery
Flash stock kernel
Or flash ramad's deodexed jph with's pre rooted
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
just put the boot sound back yourself!
Thanks for all the replies! I think I'm going to give fuguroot a go sounds the easiest haha
Just wanted to check firstly, is there.no root with JVH? Just the fact a lot of people have said it has the best battery life

Hmm I'm using Chainfires CF-Root. It works perfectly with jvh. Although you need to use odin to flash the kernel. But I don't think it's a problem for you if you know how to flash stock rom.

Thanks I might give that a go as well. I new to SGS flashing, had X10 but O2 couldn't fix it and didn't have anymore in stock so gave me SGS instead! I'm sure I'll find some instructions anyway - unless you want me help me out further and post a link
With pleasure.

Note! You really should be sure that you are on JVH and please read the thread I linked to you carefully. In cause you would brick your phone. I bricked my phone a couple of times already by doing something else stupidly. However here in Finland Samsung is kind enough to fix it for me always. Even I explained that I bricked it by flashing some other roms myself
Again If you are indeed on JVH. then:
1st. head to this thread by ChainFire himself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108&highlight=CF-ROOT
2nd. search for "CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip" to download.
3rd. Unzip the file.
4th. open odin and load this file as PDA.
5th. put your phone into download mode and then connect to your computer.
6th. flash and done.
One thing you might want to know. ChainFire Root removed the booting sound as well. But it keeps the original boot animation.
