I know, I am an idiot.

Ok, I have looked everywhere, and haven't really found a solution for my issue. I wanted to get a lagfix put on my phone (T-mo Froyo), and couldn't get the 3E script to work right, causing no clockworkmod. I saw where someone had posted that you should put a kernel on there that already had the clockworkmod on it. I wound up flashing a zimage, that put Clockworkmod v2.5.1.0 lagfix edition. The only thing is, is that it won't boot all the way up. It's like it is confused. It starts with the gt-i9000 screen, goes to the t-mo boot up, and then black screens and vibrates occasionally. I am able to boot into the recovery screen, but don't can't get a rom onto the phone's sd. I can put one on the sd card, but can't get the phone to that point. I have downloaded and re-installed three sets of drivers, and I keep having a fail on them. Now, I got Windows 7 64 bit. I am going to give Xp 32 a try in a few minutes, because I know on some other things they can be finicky. I was going to put the bionix V on this phone, but right now I will be just happy to get it back to stock. I am sorry for being a dumbass. I believe that it is in the blood though I have been looking for about a full day on a reso. This link seemed promissing, but I wasn't too sure where to go after recovery? Thanks peeps..

yea...the kernels you need were the voodoo kernels that Supercurio posted in the DEV section. Sounds like you flashed the european version instead of a US vibrant version. And you flashed a zimage instead of a kernel. Get it into download mode and odin a kernel for your corresponding base from supercurio. You may need eugenes froyo that doesnt brick and then odin to stock JFD to get rid of the bootscreen first.

This, definitely.
I try to avoid ClockworkMod Recovery to be honest, I make fewer errors if there's an Odin option.

Thank you so much guys! I am rolling again, and all is well in my village! (Remember, I am the village idiot).
Thanks so much! You have no idea how relieved I am!

To almost bricked and back on US Cellular version

Thought I'd share my experience in case it would help anyone.
Got a good deal on a new used US Cellular version tab. Hadn't come here yet to check things figuring all tabs would be the same.... wrong obviously.
First, because not everyone necessarily clearly mentions the difference between the GSM and CDMA versions, I almost went down the wrong path and tried to load a GSM rom. Caught that luckily in time. Rooting sucked as Kies would not, with 6 different computers and just as many different versions of Kies, recognize my device. Luckily I stumbled on the Z4root app which worked great.
All is good, but of course, no one mentions the us cellular version at all when it comes to roms. Studied up and noticed the model numbers and specs between us cellular version and verizon version matched. Great. Loaded beta clockwork mod for verizon, but only the stock recovery would come up when I tried to get into recovery.
Decided to load the voodoo kernal for cdma verizon. This is where it got ugly. Wouldn't convert partition to ext4 and just sat there. Took creators advice and booted into recovery. Suprisingly, it now went to the clockwork mod recovery, but nothing I did there helped, so I rebooted into recovery from clockwork mod recovery as per the instructions so I could do a data wipe and factory reset. Not all I had was a boot loop and it would no longer even go into recovery. Pretty sure I was screwed at this point. Only thing I had going for me was that I could still get into download mode. Got lucky and found the files necessary to go to bone stock verizon vie heimdall. Loaded them up and rebooted. A little hairy, but then I had a running system again. Since I knew I could always redo that, I decided to load the voodoo kernal again and this time it worked (maybe because my system was now basically verizon???).
Anyways, if anyone needs the files to go back to stock, I do have them and would be more than willing to share. I know one thing, if it wasn't for the wealth of information here I would have a bricked tab right now.

So I just bought a used US Cellular tab and wish I'd understood there would be issues.
I just rooted via z4Root as well and now don't know what to do. Were you able to flash any ROMs after getting into recovery? I'd imagine Verizon Roms might work?
I don't care about cellular data as I'm using it as wifi only.

Would you be kind enough to share the stock rom you mentioned? I've run into problems restoring my US Cellular GT. Thanks!

This is the exact same thing that happened to me as well except that I have a vzw tab.
I used sgs kernal to flash which went successful then tried to load a rom through cwm and got stuck in the boot screen.
I was able to go into download mode but had no idea how to use heimdall nor did I know what files I needed.
Luckly I bought through vzw 13 days ago so I just went in and exhanged it.
Wanna try again but would like to have the stock files needed to restore my tab in case I soft brick it again.
Can you please email me the files to [email protected]???

Yes please share the stock files

I would also like to request stock file as well. Thanks!!!!

Galaxy Tab on 3 Network UK - Can it be flashed with custom rom?

how do i get clockwork mod on my galaxy tab????

By not pestering the forum for a start
Go get Paul's CWM kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925760
That will install CWM and convert your filesystem to ext4. Then you can flash ROM's to your hearts content

Topic reported, it's becoming a real pain to find topics like this in the Development forum seriously...

I tried that...as odin doesnt work for i.e doesnt connect, so i use heimdall-frontend which does connect...i boot in to download mode...send Kernal above, reboot, and it stays at boot screen, so i have to resend another kernal for it to work again but no CWM STILL

its is impossible to put clockwork mod on this tab, or a custom rom i'm sure of it..nothing seems to work

I presume you've not flashed anything prior to this? i.e. you don't have locked bootloaders which would prevent you flashing a new kernel? You can install this tool to check. Many people here have flashed a replacement kernel (I highly recommend modaco) that contains CWM without any issues, so you may want to explain carefully and in more detail the steps you're taking - how you're flashing, and what responses you get back.

First off i want to say sorry for constant posting! & annoyance, i shall now STOP! yay..learnt my lesson
Anywho i have FINALLY managed to Root / Flash a custom rom to my Tab on the 3 netowrk using Odin..the problem i had was with my USB port as it would only connect using the main USB ports on the back of the computer, anywho many appologies and thanks!!

has everybody given up on the origional Gtab from verizon???

ok I have been searching im lost in a sea of forum topics that dont seem to either work or relate to my GTAB . I have an original Verizon 3g 7inch Galaxy tab I would like to try a rom on it but it seems that my root method no longer works. but i cant seem to weed through the forums to find info on rooting it since its running the updated gb 2.3.6 is there a post out there in this vast sea of a forum that can help me ???? anybody ????
I wanna root so i can load cwm and install AOKP rom

I answered this question earlyer toady. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24634979&postcount=2

Thank you but i still am having issues with cwm installing.
Can someone please explain to me this problem and how i can fix it ?
sorry about the pic i know its not the greatest

First you need to do some recommended reading to understand how this awkward system of flashing from heimdall and the various recoveries.
This explains what can happen to your tab should you mess up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
This explains how to revive your tab from that mess if it is possible. Also shows you how heimdall works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
Finally, this shows you how ClockworkMod Recovery works. To get to CWM Recovery on the galaxy tab hold volume up and the power button.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
This should give you an idea of what can go wrong and how to fix it. Read carefully because you can disable your device to a point where you can't fix it and will have to send it to somebody who can.
Now there are two ways you can proceed from where you are at:
Flash a rom that doesn't have assert problems in the version of ClockworkMod Recovery that you have installed.
or
Directly flash a recovery and kernel from heimdall.
The easier and safer route is to just flash one of the roms that can be flashed from your CWM Recovery. This one will give you a working MIUI rom and CWM Recovery 5. Just follow the instructions from the CWM Recovery tutorial I posted and the instructions from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365089
The second route will give you experience on heimdall. Recoveries can be flashed using a recovery.bin and a ZImage file in heimdall. This will let you put CWM Recovery 5 on your tab no matter what rom is installed on it. Unfortunately the zImage kernel is not compatible with the stock rom so once you install this you will only be able to start the device into CWM Recovery.
http://cl.ly/AGBB - CWM Recovery 5 recovery.bin & zImage
To install fire up heimdall after reviewing the directions from the return to stock/heimdall tutorial and put recovery.bin in the recovery slot and zImage in the kernel slot.

Ok update thanks for helping everybody i have aokp working now but it doesnt seem to have any hardware accelaration its running slower than dirt

Ya I bricked it its done for good now can't get it to even turn I have no clue what I did.
guess I'm done unless there is a miracle cure out there
I'm 50/50 for rooting and flashing devices this is the 2nd device (first was an og Droid never bricked it) I attempted to play with in this fashion and its done as far as I can tell.......
Thanks

If it truly is hard bricked, I've had Josh resurrect my Samsung captivate using the jtag service. And Adam offers his own unbrick service. Both are excellent. Good luck!

May be a downgrade or upgrade is required for it to work perfectly...

I got mobile tech videos to help me out got their unbrickable mod and jtag. Got it back today and loaded cyanagonmod 9 nightly loaded on it now working great. Still got to play around with it some more its all different.just glad I was able to resurrect its like a new tablet now.

[Q] Having trouble installing CM 10.1 on AT&T Galaxy S4

I've tried using several different guides published on XDA and other forums, and I still cannot get CM 10.1 to install correctly on my AT&T Galaxy S4. I have been able to successfully root the phone and install the latest version of TWRP (using the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262996). However, when I try to flash CM 10.1 using the file found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Jflteatt_Info , it fails. After reboot, it loads the Samsung Custom screen for about 10 seconds, and then everything goes black. I have to pop the battery out to power off. Luckily, I was able to use Odin 3.07 to flash the phone back to its original firmware. I've tried to do this at least half a dozen times, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea of what I could be doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate any help, or if someone could just point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I am in exactly same boat but right now I am using same custom recovery as you and afraid to do anything else. But I think here is what's going on. CM10.1 you're trying to install is not LOKID (LOKI is something to trick bootloader because our device bootloader is locked) So that LOKI thing should be on rom itself AND kernel. Our recovery does not auto-LOKI roms that's why you installing them and they're fail. So you need to install new recovery with AUTO-LOKI feature installed if you look in developer section you'll see. Now here is my question. How do I go from TWRP that been installed via GooManager to CWM - Auto-Loki edition ? Anyone 1.2.3.4 guide for us ?
Here are new Recovery that have AUTO-LOKI feature. IF your ROM/KERNEL already preLOKI (pre patched) it will still work it'll know rom pre-patched.

So anyone can get quick guide how to move from TWRP to CWM from above ?
