Hey,
I read a lot over the last months and am now willing to flash the overcome rom.
Situation:
- Euro Galaxy Tab (german, unbranded)
- Rooted (with z4root)
- Do not want to lose current configuration (backup?)
Step-by-Step:
- As I still use RFS file system, I need to convert first. Besides that, I need a CWM to flash overcome and a SD-Card for the auto-backup.
1. - Flash Modaco Kernel Full to convert file system and to get CWM (with Odin, activate repartition and select Kernel)
3. - Reboot in recovery (CWM) - backup and conversion will be done
2. - Wipe Data (in CWM)
3. - Install instructions from overcome:
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
BACKUP first! (The install script WILL wipe your data partition, but NOT your SD cards)
Copy ROM to SD Card.
Reboot into CWM
Choose Install zip from SD Card
Choose zip from SD Card
Install and reboot!
If you're system was not already ext4, on reboot enter recovery mode and the automatic conversion of your file system will happen

Is this the way to go? As I nowhere could find some really detailled instructions to flash this, I hope this is all right.
if u follow these instructions everything will work fine! good job on looking this up. i dont mind people asking questions but only after they TRIED finding the answers themselves. i have hope in people again.
You are definately on the right track, but for completeness sake, I have thrown together a tutorial for exactly what you are after. Check it out over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973402

hi i am getting really frustrated. I'm trying to go back to my original wildfire rom i don't care if its not the telstra original i just need any original. i currently have cyanogenmod7.03 that i installed myself. how do i install the original rom i have booted into that special mode via holding volume down and power down. and i have downloaded some original roms from shippedroms.com and put them on my microsd on my wildfire. help would be appreciated greatly, i have read other threads regarding this but i don't know what to do. i have rooted my phone also.
RUU's from Shipped ROM's are EXE Files. Connect your Wildfire to your PC. and run the EXE File. That's it.
You will lose root though, if you flash an RUU.
Alternately, you can flash this ROM as well. It's stock 2,2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Short Guide for the second method:
- Download the ROM I listed above, and this attachment called update1.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Place both files on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery ("Special Mode" - As you say)
- Once in CWM (Clockworkmod), Select "Install Zip from SDCard")
- Then, select the update1.zip file you placed in Step 1
- Clockworkmod Recovery will reboot, and will start in v2.5.0.7, characterized by Green text
- Here, now select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, again select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- This time, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM.

ok ill have to try the second method because i have an iMac not a pc, and i was browsing through the clockworkmod recovery mode earlier on.
can i use the telstra rom i downloaded from specialroms.com instead of the one you linked me? then follow the second method?
i can't choose update.zip from install zip from sd card because its not a zip, when i click on it, it opens up with three more folders of meta inf, res and sbin. what should i do?
Don't select the option choose update.zip.
First, restart your phone in Clockworkmod:
- Then, select "INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD"
- Here, select an option "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD"
This will open a tree structure on your sdcard to browse, then select the required Zip file.
I cannot comment on your specialroms.com ROM, because I haven't seen it at all. I have no idea what sort of a ROM you are talking about.
=====================================
Alternately, if you are ok with flashing an RUU, you can extract the ROM.zip from the EXE RUU on a Linux/Mac device using OpenRUU here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711296
Once you get the ROM.zip from the Telstra EXE RUU, then
- Rename the ROM.zip file to PC49IMG.zip
- Place on your sDCard
- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. (ie - Select Volume down + power. Don't select anything after this). The bootloader will detect the ROM file and attempt to install it automatically.
i just converted the update folder to a zip file on my computer maybe this will work.

No, I don't. Unless you clarify a lot more on what you did, and what problem you are facing, I will most certainly not be able to infer what you mean. The first zip you flash (update1.zip) is supposed to be like that. You should see Clockworkmod with Green Text, and v2.5.0.7 written below. If you see that, the first part is successful.

Yes, it is supposed to take just half a second. It will only give you Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7. It's the sole purpose of update1.zip.
But, since you have Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 (I wish I had known this earlier - I assumed you S-OFF'ed using Revolutionary and had the new version with orange text), you can skip a lot of steps.
Now, just simply follow these. (It's a re-written second method, if you will)
- Download the the Safe Flash ROM Zip file only. You don't need update1.zip
- Place the file on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
- Now, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- Then, select "Choose Zip from SDCard"
- Now, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM when rebooting is done

ok. followed the instructions exactly i selected safe buzz froyo.zip and it loaded for about 1second as if it was installing. then the clockwork mod menu appeared again and i rebooted the phone. but it loaded as cyanogen 7 so it didn't work. how long is it supposed to take to install? 1 second? do i need to do something to my microsd card? like make it a gold card or something? I've heard that word before.
No, you don't need a Goldcard for flashing the Safe Flash ROM. (You would have needed one only if you followed the RUU method).
ROM install should take a lot more time than 1 second. Also, it is surprising how Cyanogenmod 7 is loading. Did you not perform a 'Wipe Data' in Clockcowkrmod, as I have stated?
Also, check your ROM file size, make sure the file size matches, and see if you can catch the error message that comes on Clockworkmod when it reboots after 1 second when installing the ROM.

the rom file size is about 120mb. i did perform a wipe data before i attempted to install the rom. yes i will try and see what message comes on the screen in that one second of the rom loading. the phone doesn't reboot after i press install rom, it goes back to the clockwork menu then i hit reboot. i will try again.

CWM installed well from recovery.
But CWM did not install root.zip!
Error message:
CWM Recovery v5.8.1.5
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
What could have gone wrong? What further details are needed to find a remedy? What else is needed to root successfully?
Updates:
I have found solutions after reading all posts related.
If you have just PC Odin an unrooted SGT 6800 into ICS, your SGT now cannot be rooted. What I have done thereafter is as follows:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
5. Once done, choose reboot.
Now you new ICS is rooted.
Which zip and which sdcard, that is the question.
Hi ronnieho,
thanks for your quick response and help. I am sure you will get me running. Please give me some more details which due to my lack of experience I feel to be missing.
Please let me explain this, then you will know which details still trouble me:
Last week I managed to root my ICS SGS2 following these instructions:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
It is in german, but based on the original thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
The german instruction was very specific about which zip to put into which (internal or external) sdcard.
The english XDA instructions are not that specific about these obviously very important details.
Would you please add these details to your instructions:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
Does this mean, place CWM.zip into the external sdcard (i.e. /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard) of the 6800?
From the threads refered to in my first post I have CWM 5.8.1.5. May this work too? Or must it be CWM 5.5.0.4? Where can I get CWM 5.5.0.4?
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
Yes, this is how I get into recovery mode.
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
goto _which_ zip from _which_ sdcard.
Rooting my SGS2 I used
- install zip from sdcard
Here _sdcard_ meant the external sdcard
And _zip_ meant CWM.zip.
Is this also true for your instruction step 3?
toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
Where/to what item should I apply these instructions?
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
So far I did not save any zip to the internal sdcard?
Should I have saved root.zip into the internal sdcard in step 1?
Which root.zip? Remember, I have CWM.zip and root.zip from the Attached Files of posting #213 by kable in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
Can I use these files or should I download different zip-files? From where?
Sure, I could simply try out my questions, but I am afraid to brick my Tab.
Another important detail may be that I did not use Odin to copy the zip files to the tap. In my successful rooting of the SGS2 I simply used the USB MTP connection and copied the zip-files like I copy video and audio files, and it worked. I would prefer to keep this copy practice also regarding the Tab7.7. Or must I copy with Odin? Why? Do I miss something if I copy in MTP mode? Does Odin do a different copy? Does Odin copy to different/specific sdcard locations?
I am confident that using your instruction will make the difference. Please give me the details which I feel to be missing.
Thanks!
Took the risk - Success, at last!
Since I did not get any more helpful answers, I had to reconsider the situation. Finally I decided to take the risk by using a best of
a) the xda-developers [GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112
, e.g. postings #1 by Jade Eyed Wolf, #213 by kable, #227 by ronnieho, #230 by mashkuov, etc.
b) aljee77 guide for the SGS2
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
Trusting that the xda-developers zip-files, CWM.zip and root.zip, will be ok for the Tab7.7
and hoping that the aljee77 procedure will also work as well for my Tab7.7 as it has worked for my SGS2,
I took the risk and finally succeeded to root my Tab7.7.
My successful procedure (Thanks to aljee77 and mashkuov):
1. Data preparation (zip-files)
1.1 Downloaded CWM.zip and root.zip to my computer from mashkuov, post #230 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=23
1.2 Copy these zip files from my computer to respective sdcard in my tab.
I have the Samsung Kies drivers installed on my computer. But I do not use Odin. I connect the tab and the computer with the USB data cable and simply use the USB MTP connection. I simply copy the zip-files like I would copy video and audio files by simple Windows Explorer file-drag/drop between the the source/target location icons.
1.3 I copy CWM.zip into my _external_ SDCARD
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Card
on the tab: /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard)
1.4 I copy root.zip into my _internal_ SDCARD ( /sdcard/ ) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Tablet
on the tab: /sdcard/)
2. Temporary installation of CWM Recovery:
- Reboot to recovery:
2.1 Download and install LATEST SAMSUNG KIES (or stand-alone USB drivers if you can find them)
2.2 Transfer CWM.zip to the EXTERNAL CARD on Galaxy Tab 7.7 (already done in step 1.3)
2.3 Turn off the Galaxy Tab 7.7
2.4 Enter Recovery
- Hold Volume UP button + Power Button
- When TAB turns ON, RELEASE POWER BUTTON (Keep Holding Volume UP Button)
* Will Enter Recovery
2.5 In the following basic menu use Volume Up/Down to navigate and Power OFF to select/accept options!
- Choose apply update from external storage.
- Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appears.
* Now a temporary CWM is installed and activated.
* This CWM recovery is only a _temporary_ CWM and will be gone after reboot!
* see #217 by vegaman: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28300775&postcount=217
3. Install root
* Once the CWM recovery appears:
* _Touch-screen_ to navigate and to choose an option!
- install zip from sdcard (1st CWM menu)
- choose zip from internal sdcard (2nd CWM menu) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
- toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable <--- ronnieho #227 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
- +++ GO BACK ++++ (from 2nd to 1st CWM menu)
- reboot system now (1st CWM menu)
* After reboot your tab will be rooted and temporary CWM will be gone.
4. Enjoy!
Now the tab is rooted! Temporary CWM is gone.
Now you can download Superuser App and Superuser Elite App (both by ChainsDD) from the market.
5. If you want a permanent CWM see #220 by Handymeister: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28319010&postcount=220
- after installing temporary CWM I flashed the root.zip with it.
- then reboot
- with root I flashed the CWM with Mobile Odin and that works fine and is now resistant again
