Hey guys
I'm running the P1000JXJJ1, FroYo JPJJ2 firmware on my Tab, and samfirmware states P1000JVJL1 is the latest one !
so I was advised NOT to use KIES, and ODIN was better !!
My tab is rooted with OCLF set, Just a quick question, Odin will delete all my data and also I believe that I'd have to re-ROOT the device right?
another question is since I didn't have market out of the box, the product sales code has been changed to XSG.
thanks a lot guys in advance
Cheers

if u use oclf, undo oclf b4 update firmware, kies or odin works fine for me, i'll only use odin when i screw up with my tab
and will I have to re root the device and also will ODIN delete all my data?
Hi,
searching for something else I accidentily found this thread.
Maybe my experince might be of any interest: got the galaxy tab 3 days ago, installed KIES and instantly got a message to update the firmware to Froyo JK5. I followed the suggestion to save my data which I regret later, because it took very long (had already copied a lot of videos to the internal sd) and couldn´t stop it. To cut it short:
the update was successful and nothing deleted, just everything in place. Also synchronized Outlook contacts, though at 96% it got stuck - waited a few minutes, then broke up and all contacts had been transferred fine.
(don´t know, if firmware is different for other countries...)
Odin will not delete your data if you did not choose to repartition, no need to use pit file to repartition if you are just upgrading fw from the same region..safest is still via KIES
To correct some mis-information from above. Flashing with Odin can delete your data, it depends on what components are included in the image you flash. If you flash an official ROM with Kies you should not loose your data but there is always a risk of an issue occurring during any flash that could lead to data loss. Unless you flash a pre-rooted custom ROM you will loose root and SU during a flash. These can be re-applied easily to the SGT using the Super One-Click method.
Redardless of what flashing method you use, if you use RyanZA's OCLF you must undo the lag fix before you flash, otherwise you will certainly loose data and possibly end up with a corrupt system that won't boot (I had first hand experience of this early on in my flashing days with my SGS!). You shouldn't really need to apply a lagfix to the SGT as it doesn't seem to suffer from the same lag as the SGS.
Finally, flashing with Odin can lead to product code being changed, especially if the ROM you flash isn't intended for the normal product code of your device. There are various ways to restore your poduct code, look in the Samsung Galaxy S forums for suggestions on how to do this as the basic construction of the ROMs is very similar between the two devices from that point of view. Also, be aware that people with SGS devices have reported loosing their IMEI while flashing with Odin. If this happens you will end up with a WiFi only device unless you backed up your /efs folder before you flashed. There's lots of info in the SGS forums about this and it's worth a read if you are new to flashing. I haven't heard of anyone with a SGT loosing their IMEI yet but it's worth taking precautions.
Happy flashing folks!!
thanks a bunch guys, I'm now running the latest version !!
was just trying to install the latest gingerbread theme from the forums !! will let you all know how that went

Go to the Android Development section.
Look up Overcome and BOCA for the Galaxy Tab. Both a great however I prefer BOCA. The current release is 2.3.4 but 2.3.7 is in the works.
If you follow the instructions for BOCA you will have a GTab that feels like it was newly born again.

Yes. Follow the instructions on the magrathea site or overcome
Use overcome instructions to instal stock GB 5. It tells you the pit and modem to use for your tab.
Then install the overcome kernel and reboot. It will root the tab and format the storage.
Then you install the Boca zip over the overcome kernel.
If you just want overcomes Rom follow their instructions. They make it simple

thanks guyz for da info..
so i dont need to flash stock rom like i always do with my SGS before installing any custom rom?
Hello,
I currently have the Acer Iconia A501, locked to Rogers (ok it is no longer locked).
From what i can see, the current Build is "Acer_A501_4.042.01_PA_ROG". Which is Android version 3.2.
Does anyone else have this build?
I have done my fair share of flashing. I own a Samsung Galaxy S, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"), and have custom roms on both.
As i don't have CWM on this build, i want to back up this build first.
Any suggestions on what i'd need to do to do this backup first? Or if i can find a copy of it somewhere... Highly unlikely i'll ever go back to this version (as i purchased this used and the person i bought it from isn't calling me back).
I checked the OTA Full Package thread, and this build isn't listed in there. I would be happy to even provide a copy of the package if i knew how before i install a custom rom on it.
Basically, this is what i'm looking for.
1. Help on how to back up this build.
2. Would installing a euro version of the a501 be ok? (i'm sure it is, considering both my Galaxy S and Tab both have the Euro versions on it).
Other than the above, i have a good idea on which ROM i'm going to install. Revert to 3.01, root, install cwm, then install a 3.2 ROM.
I'm certainly looking forward to this as i've only had the Galaxy Tab 7" as my tab for a year and this 10.1" is a change for me. I've never experienced HC until the last week
Thanks!
me too
I am also looking for a Canadian A501 rom From rodgers... Let me know if you come across one thanks.
I ended up flashing back to 3.01 and rooting so I no longer have it.
I'm now on Alexandra iii 1.1. Check the Dev forum for it. Works great!
Sure id love to get a copy of the rogers one again as I couldn't make a backup of it. Mainly for testing 4g speeds.

HI there, I wonder if you can help me at all. I have a samsung galaxy gt i5700 (it doesn't say spica though, so I don't know whether all the gt i5700 are spica) and I have a very olde version of android, 1.5 cupcake. I would like to upgrade and I was wondering if you can help me at all, here are my questions:
-which version it is advisable to upgrade to?
-could you direct me to a good guide that tells me what to do it (the process, data backup and how to restore the phone in case things go wrong). I had a look on google but to be honest I have found an awful lot of guides that seem a bit dodgy.
-is there anything I need to know before upgrading?
thanks

install latest 2.1 if you want to have official firmware. Check google and pm me if you still can't install it.

Or search on google for suckup.de and spicagenmod. This is what I'm running at the moment and it's very stable...

****sx, you won't be able to use DooMLoRD's or SuperOneClick method with OS Version 2.3.6. You need to downgrade to a rootable version first and then root and update. Follow this guide and you will have no issues at all:

Post #2 and point 1.3...that is what u have to do. It is easy and direct. Then u can revert to your current OS version and flash a CF Kernel...hope it helps...:good:
thx glevitan... i will post my experience soon
Hi Guys,
It's been while since I rooted my phone or did any serious mods on my phone ... was waiting for the warranty of my S4 to run out!
Now that, that's over can you guys guide me on the following ....
(PS. Am Using the S4 (Indian latest August INU stock ROM from www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=INU#firmware
a) Which is the best and safest Root method for the i9500? I once used the CF-Root method here but then went back to stock as there were no serious work on custom ROMS back then.
b) Once rooted, can you'll guide me to a couple of custom ROMS to start with .... once I've gone through a few suggested ROMS I guess I'll be confident enough to explore the ocean .... remember it's I9500
c) I've heard (rather read on and of) about "Xposed". Would prefer if the ROM incorporates this and then a guide to where I can find the various bits a pieces of Xposed.
Looking forward to your assistance as I hope to go live with my new look phone from the 1st of October
Thanks & Cheers

Can someone atleast tell me if I can use the CF-root method and if that is the safest way to go about rooting?
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=root i9500
a. Sure its safe.
B. Just try it out for yourself
C. There is an entire section on xda dedicated to xposed. You can find everything you want there.
