Hi everyone, I decided to finally root and flash to axura today. I saw the one click vibrant root link today and did that one successfully. I did some searching and ended up with Austiclees instructional video.
My phone is currently rooted and after downloading Axura 2.0.6. I loaded it onto my internal sd. I downloaded the newest clockwork and when i click install from sd card it seems to be working. However, the screen just goes to android system recovery and I'm stuck having to choose between reboot now or reinstall packages. I'm very frustrated right now and was wondering how to get Axura to actually install..
BTW I did not root from one click lag fix.. I hope thats not the problem.. Any help would be appreciated PLEASE!!!
I just flashed onyx on my vibrant like a day ago.
When you have the rom on your phone you go to rom manager install clockwork i cant remember if you need to restart... after that you click reboot into recovery ...
wait for the prompt to come up and choose to reinstall packages the phone will reboot and open another prompt (you may have to repeat this step if you didn't get into clockwork recovery just click reinstall again.)
Once you are at clockwork recovery you choose install from sdcard and navigate to your rom.

The way you rooted is not an issue.
Click reinstall packages that should take you into cw recovery. Sometimes you have to click twice. Once in Cw recovery scroll down to install zip from sd card, then click choose zip from sd card. After that click on your chosen rom, let it do it's thing and when it brings you back to Cw screen click reboot now. Then enjoy your new Rom.
thanks guys... i figured it out... for anyone with the same problem, I just clicked reinstall packages twice; which put me into clockwork recovery. And for anyone deciding if they want to root and flash or not, let me just say axura's rom on the vibrant is undescribably wonderful. I love not having to reboot when I go to gallery, wifi problems are non existant, as for gps, I haven't tried yet but will be most likely flawless.
thanks ironlood and icandy...
sigh, why didnt i do this before -_-
No prob .. I was actually thinking about flashing Axura in a week or so ... just watcheda video that showed absolutely no lag

For me and my setup, Axura has been the best, and I tried most. I don't think you even need Voodoo lag fix kernel, I just could not resist. Stick with plain Aura 2.2 for now. It's smooth like butter.
And welcome to flashing!

Yeah I have read a few guides on Odin but the program itself is still hard for me to understand.
There needs to be a wiki or something that has a entire glossery for the program's terms.

OK so first off I want to apologize, I am a noob. Im on many other differedt types of forums and I know n00bs are universally hated. So bear with me.
I know a decent bit about computers/phones/technology. Well more then your average bear at least. Not as much as you guys though.
My phone is permarooted, and now im looking to put a custom rom on. My brother permarooted it for me.
OK I know you guys are gonna say omgz read all the info on the site it's all here. I went to the android dev forum and there are sooooooo many builds I don't even know where to begin. I know none of the cm mods are 'stable' yet. But surely some more then others, no? What are the differences between 6, 6.1, and 7? Any reccomendations? I will be attempting this tomorrow.
If anyone can give me some pointers, point me in the right direction, newb friendly teks.
Any advice or input in very appreciated.
Thanks.
If you like stock android, I would highly recommend cyanogen mod 7. It turned my mt4g into a speed demon. And it is stable enough to a daily driver.
If you like sense, ( why would anyone) then I'd recommend the ice glacier rom, it is close to stock but with alot of bloatware removed.

I guess.I'd like to go with this build.
The instructions aren't very newb friendly. Is there a guide somewhere that goes a bit more in depth on the steps?
INSTRUCTIONS:
-First time flashing CM 7 to your MT4G (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager
Clockwork recovery is an app? How does one install via rom manager?
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
What does this entail/what tools would I news to do this?
3. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 3.x 3. WIPE
???
4. Install the ROM
???
5. Optionally install the Google Addon
Why wouul one want to do this and what would the benefits bbe? How would you go about it as well?
I know y'all are prolly like wtf how annoying. But is really apprexiate the help. I have my reasons for doing this, I don't just think its cool or something.
Im more then willing to do the research myself there's just so much info out there i dontknow where to go. Even a point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks.

"ROM Manager" is an app (search the Market). Clockwork Recovery is installed via ROM Manager (do it two or three times, sometimes it won't "stick" right after you are rooted).

This is done from Clockwork Recovery. You can either run ROM Manager and choose "Reboot to recovery" or power the phone down then power back up while holding volume down. There will be a backup menu (nandroid). Make a backup (it saves on your SD card).

Click to expand...

Search the forum. Sorry, I'm running a ROM that doesn't require recovery 3.x. Once you find the recovery image you need to flash it via adb or directly from a Terminal Emulator app on the phone. Usually flash recovery <your_recovery_img> or via adb in fastboot mode fastboot flash recovery <your_recovery_img> You can also perform a full (SYSTEM) wipe in recovery mode.

DL the ROM, place the zip on your SD card. Reboot into recovery (should be there already after doing a wipe in step 3) and pick "Install zip from SD card". Scroll to your ROM's zip, select it, confirm, watch the magic happen.

I don't use a CM ROM on this phone but did on my G1. Search the CM site or the forums here. CM ships "bare android", aka the AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Things Google adds (Gmail, Calendar, Navigate, etc) can not ship with CM due to copyright. You can, however, download and re-install them (since they came with your phone anyhow).
I suggest you read things thoroughly and treat everything like you will brick your shiny new toy before ever attempting it. Make sure you're willing to spend $450 retail on a new phone if you screw up. The first time through any of this is NOT for the faint of heart, and you cannot be overly cautious.
You'll probably get a lot of flames of "OMG DONT DO ANYTHING YOU DIDNT SEARCH AND READ", but good luck. Just seriously, be sure to read everything at least three times before doing it. It gets easier once you've been doing it for a few years, but the first trip....It's a deep rabbit hole

That's the one I flashed yesterday. Follow the install instructions posted in the lithium miui thread.
No app drawer on miui, so using launcher pro. With launcher pro, the widgets are working, which weren't for some reason on the stock launcher.
Make sure you let your phone rest the full 8 and 4 mins, I don't know why but I did, and apparently it's important.
GPS also works, but I had to play with it to get it going.

but thats my actual question... which one should i download? Is one better or has any advantages than the other?!
also i need to disable voodoo lagfix right? Because I just did it...
i'm going to go ahead and flash the one i linked to, it seems to look better. Thanks for the help.
edit:
am i meant to follow THESE instructions?
cashyftw said:
Lets get this out of the way first. I am not responsible if you screw up your phone, but you are probably here because you already screwed up your phone. I have now been through this several times over the last few days. Some will say this process is overkill, but there is no denying that it always works, so please refrain from stating the obvious.
If you have installed or updated CM7/MIUI and lost your baseband, IMEI, or both, this should help you. Due to the amount of people currently having this problem, I would recommend this be stickied at least temporarily until things are straightened out, so people can find it easily.
For Windows only, I do not have a Mac.
Step 1 - Read the entire post and understand everything involved before you attempt this. This is a long ride, probably 30-40 minutes from start to end. This is not for new people, and will assume you have a certain amount of knowledge because you attempted to flash CM7/MIUI.
DO NOT SKIP OR SHORTCUT ANY STEP IN THIS PROCESS, UNLESS I SPECIFICALLY STATED YOU MET THE CRITERIA TO DO SO. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING THIS UNLESS YOU CAN REACH DOWNLOAD MODE AND RECOVERY USING BUTTONS WITH THE PHONE OFF!
Step 2 - Gather what you need...
1 - The AIO Vibrant Toolbox : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
Install according to directions in the post. Donate to this guy. He spent alot of time making this easy for you to do.
2 - The old CM7 install files : http://www.mediafire.com/?gn4qoonoe3cjyp6
Unzip to a location that is easy to get to.
3 - The new version of CM7/MIUI you want to install, from the thread of your choice. Donate to the developer you are using, they spend alot of their free time making your phone better. They don't get paid for it, and they dont charge you for it.
4 - Your phone, with a full battery.
Step 3 - Odin to JFD and install Clockwork 2.x
1 - Fire up the AIO Toolbox. Do not connect your phone yet, but power it down and pull your battery. See that sticker under it that says IMEI? Write it down! You will be referencing it a few times throughout the process. Start Odin and select your pit and pda files, they should automatically come up if you are using the toolbox. Hold down your volume up and down buttons, and insert your USB cable, then insert your battery. You should go to download mode, and see Odin connect. Hit start and let it fly. Once it reboots, unplug your phone. Go to settings/about phone and you should have a JFD baseband. Hit status, and check your IMEI. See how it matches the one you wrote down? Yay! Move on to the next item. If it does not, you have some reading to do because you really screwed something up, and it is beyond my power to help you...
2 - Mount phone and put the following files on the root of the sd card:
vibrant-efsbackup.zip (if you already have a backup/efs folder on your sd card you do not need this)
cm7-vibrant-initial-20110224.zip
The zip file of the new CM7/MIUI rom you want to flash.
3 - Download ROM Manager and install clockwork recovery 2.x (if you already have the update.zip on your sd card, which you should, you can also skip this) and power down your phone.
4 - Boot into recovery using the 3 button method (holding volume up and down and power, releasing power when the word VIbrant appears on your screen), hit reinstall packages, you may have to hit it twice to get to clockwork recovery. Choose to install zip from sd card, and select vibrant-efsbackup.zip. Let it do its thing. Then select reboot, and when it does, check your sd card for a backup/efs folder. Got it? Good. Power down the phone. (Obviously, if you already have the efs backup completed, you could have skipped this step.)
Step 4 - Install Clockwork 3.x and Old CM7
1 - Fire up the AIO Toolbox. Do not connect your phone yet, but pull your battery. Start Odin and hit the pda button, select the file cm7-vibrant-initial-kernel.tar from the CM7 package you unzipped (Remember, in a place that is easy to find). THIS IS IMPORTANT - UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT!!! Hold down your volume up and down buttons, and insert your USB cable, then insert your battery. You should enter download mode, and see Odin connect. Hit start and let it fly. Once it is finished, pull the usb cable. With the download mode screen still on your phone, boot into recovery using the 3 button method. You should now be in clockwork recovery 3.x. Move on to the next item! If you did not get in, you can try to pull your battery, replace it and boot into recovery from there. If you still can't get there, you get to go where the people who do not properly follow instructions go... back to Step 1.
2 - In clockwork 3.x, choose factory reset, and let it do it's thing. Then go to mounts and storage, and format system, data, and cache. Choose install zip from sd card and choose cm7-vibrant-initial -20110224.zip. As it is installing, one of the last things you see should be "restoring efs". Hit reboot when finished, and boot into CM7. When it boots, make sure you toggle the lockscreen a couple times so it connects to service. Check baseband and IMEI again. Baseband should have changed, but it does not matter until we get to where we are going. IMEI still the same right? Awesome! Power down the phone, move to the next step! It's not? You my friend, get to meet all your other friends back at Step 1.
Step 5 - Installing what you really want...
1 - Boot into recovery using the 3 button combo. Do a factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache. Choose install zip from sd card, and pick that shiny new version of CM7/MIUI you picked out. You are almost there. Flash it! Reboot, and when it comes back up, take note of what time it is and DO NOT TOUCH THE PHONE FOR 15 MINUTES. You have no idea the amount of bugs this squashes. After that, check the baseband and IMEI, even though you already know it is right anyway. If it is not, do i have to say it again? You know where you are going...
2 - Destroy the paper you wrote your IMEI on, you would not want that info in the wrong hands...
3 - Enjoy your new rom
FAQ:
Q: I did everything you said, and it did not work!
A: You either skipped a step, or did not stop at the point I told you you were screwed.
Q: No, seriously, I did everything you said!
A: Seriously, I have done this 5 times in the past 3 days, and it worked every time.
Q: I installed CM7 nightly #9,10,or 11 with this method, and I have no sound on calls. What gives?
A: These builds have known issues with in call audio. Flash CM7.1
Q: Once I am on CM7/MIUI, do I have to do this every time or can I update normally?
A: Once you are on CM7 or MIUI with the proper IMEI and a good baseband, you should be able to update via the rom posting instructions. If you decided to switch from CM7 to MIUI or vice versa, I would go back to this process to get your initial installation.
Q: I installed CM7.1 and then tried to go to MIUI, and lost everything again, what happened?
A: There are changes betweeen CM7 to 7.1 that have made this difficult due to compatability issues, which is why I recommend doing this process again if you want to switch between the two.
Q: I thought there was an easier way to do this, why so many steps?
Read the first paragraph of the post, but I guess that is also asking too much...

Just install the one you linked to, the one direct from miui.us.
The other Lithium one looks like it's customized, overclock kernal, stuff like that.
I disabled vodoo lag fix. I odin back to 2.1. Then I installed stock 2.2.
Then I followed the instructions exactly. Wipe dalvic cashe, format system/data/cache, wipe factory restore, etc etc.
Not sure if I had to install 2.2 first, but I did anyway since the install instructions were for upgrading from a 2.2 rom and not a 2.1 rom.
thanks for the help. I'm on MIUI now, just gotta wait the total 12 mins for it to settle down. ;P
@xriderx66, please will you be kind enough to let me know your experience with the MIUI. i am strongly thinking of flashing same rom.
Thanks in advance.
No, that lengthy install instruction is outdated

You don't have to install via those long instructions anymore. Apparently those are outdated.
Just manually backup your /efs and keep a copy on your computer, just because everyone should have a copy of their /efs folder and nv_data.bin, otherwise if you run into trouble you can lose your IMEI.
Then follow these simple instructions as outlined by user nickmcminn60 for his Lithium MiUi rom, but it worked for the regular MiUi also:
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (For Lithium and SS-11 If you are on MIUI, CM-7 or a 2.2)
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Wipe Data/Factory Reset
-Format-System, Cache and Data (Located under "Mounts & Storage)
-Flash LE Lithium (EDIT by me samsungvibrant..OR THE STOCK VERSION OF MIUI could be flashed here)
-Fix Permissions
-Reboot and Let Settle For 8 Min
-Reboot again Let Set For 4 Min..
No need to do the longer install process you had mentioned in the prior post.

It's a very smooth rom, it has fast animations and i love em'
The only thing bugging me right now is battery life drains way faster than what i'm used to. I'll find out more on calibrating the battery/changing kernels etc.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
From what I have seen Lithium is actually meant to be more of a development ROM for new features. The other ROM made by that developer is the SS series which is meant to be more of a daily driver (eg. more stable), and it has additional tweaks from the official MIUI release to try to achieve things like better battery life as well as a OC or UVable kernel.
SS can be found here:

Unrelated to the OP, but if you're using Launcher Pro you're missing out on one of the best aspects of MIUI: No App Drawer! Instead you organize your apps into folders on the Home page. It makes you wonder why there ever was an app drawer. Seems like a silly concept now that I've been using MIUI for a while.

I'm just writing this quick (somewhat) noob-proof guide, because some people are asking questions still.
Requirements: 8.6.5.19 WW Firmware version (or one with the App Backup application)
Get Root:
1. Download and install RazorClaw app on your device (http://androidroot.mobi/2011/11/14/introducing-razorclaw-v1/)
2. After install run the app, read the info and press "Root me nao!"
3. If successful, SuperUser app should appear in the app list (This needs to be updated via Market link)
Note:
by wolf849
--install option is not working for some reason on TF101G and su needs to be installed manually after temp root .

Install Custom Recovery (CWM):
0. This comes after rooting, not before!!!
1. Download Recovery Installer app on your device (Link by gnufabio)
2. Install app, run, click to install recovery
3. Device reboots, and if successful, it installs recovery and boots back into OS.
Install Custom Rom:
0.Download the ROM and check MD5sum (always do that) - free programs canb be found everywhere to check. When done, put it on your MicroSD card, not the internal memory (therefore MicroSD card needed )
1. Reboot to CWM you just installed (I used Transformer reboot to recovery app)
2. BACKUP!!! current ROM (click on backup/restore option in CWM) - navigate with volume buttons, power button.
3. When backup finished, choose Install .zip from SD Card, choose the file you have downloaded - wait for the process, then reboot.
4. Done
- More information regarding flashing ROMs, addons can be fount in the Development forum.
If you want to (Do it! ) - Thank (and buy a beer) to all the developers, who made this possible!!!
Followed these steps and worked flawlessly! Running overclocked 1.5ghz on Revolver ROM / Clemsen 21 kernel with my newly rooted B7O SBK2. Smokin fast, no force closes, and smooth as silk. RayMan and his team at Android Root Mobi are great! I was shocked to see the breakthrough in rooting SBK2 devices yesterday. Jumped on it and it's the easiest root and custom ROM install I have ever done (previous experience with Nook Color, Viewsonic Gtab, Acer A500). Installed automatic Airplane mode app and getting amazing battery results. Keyboard doc is performing great too!

Yes, this is the one I was referring to above. It works well for me. When using CPU Spy app, I am getting great "deep sleep" results using Auto Airplane Mode app.
Don't see why you would use that app sinse it's fixed in the new firmware update?
Excellent root guide
Just "rooted" my TF; so smooth I attempted it twice! Couldn't believe it was so painless. Congrats and kudos to all involved. Just one simple question, most likely been asked before so I apoligise in advance; when firmare is updated, does device have to be re-rooted or will it carry over?
I rooted and installed Revolver rom on my B70 a few days ago using this method and did a and factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before updating the zip. Everything works fine though, but is this the correct procedure? For future falshes: do I need to wipe again in CWM after the zip update? Thanks.
If you're just updating the same ROM no need to wipe. It's recommended of you're switching to a different ROM that you do a full wipe
ZOMG... you guys are freaking AMAZINg. i was soooo disappointed when i found out the B70+ weren't rootable. but you guys saved me from selling this for soemthing else!!! Look for some beer moneys coming your way!

Not necessarily. I tested both and using this app gave me another 10% efficiency in battery. This app gives me a fail safe sleep solution no matter what. Been using TF101 in dock since 7am this morning for email, stock quotes, etc. Using about 15 minutes per hour. After bout 6 hours dock is at 94% and tablet at 99%. Maybe the firmware will do that, but this app is gold for me. I have a B7O SBK2 which I rooted on Monday with Razor. Using Revolver and Revolver Parts. Overclocked with Prime kernel. Running 1.5gz with profiles using SetCPU. Milking everything out of this thing possible and it's flawless! I probably will not put on the charger until Friday. Watched an hour of Netflix last night with very little battery drain. With a "performance" profile in SetCPU at 1.5gz, I get a 3350 Quadrant test score. My normal profile is "interactive". Gotta go!! Have a good day.
I get a parsing error everytime I attempt to run the APK. Any ideas? I really want my device rooted.

ps xredbeardx and nikkobenson, try redownloading it using an other browser on your PC and transfur it to your SD card instead of the SSD.
this is the easiest rooting procedure I've ever used for ANY device. BUT I desperately need to UNROOT my device. I rooted three nights ago, my Transformer 's screen is messing up and I really need to return it to the seller which I purchased it from, but I don't want to do so with a rooted device. PLEEEEASEEE tell me you guys can help me unroot? I have B70 device. Thanks so much for any help you can provide. You will seriously make my year and save me $330

I'm interested to know this too. I've just bought a Transformer so I guess it'll be B70 or higher, so if something does go wrong, like the device bricks or we need to claim on warranty, how can we go about fixing it? Apparently NVflash doesn't work, is there an alternative? :/
My number 1 complaint with the 10.1 is that i get finger ache trying to use the tab for an extended period
I just had a play with an IPAD and i'm SOOOO jealous how little you have to touch the screen to make it move etc
will a software update to JB or ICS improve the touch sensitivity of the tab?
Thanks

Yeah that's also an issue for me it's responsiveness for touch are not that great...
Hope they fixed this with project butter since it guess where are you gonna touch the screen and react milliseconds before the touch happens

I agree, hopefully Project Butter on JB will solve it.
If you are rooted or know how to, try this.
ICS sensitivity and responsiveness is night and day over HC..
But now after running JB, it is night and day over ICS

Yeah I know what you mean but the best advice is read everything and you need to be prepared for issues and dig under the bonnet so to speak.
This is off topic so don't ask anymore about root here
yes cmw is required which is recovery and Backup everything.
Lots of posts scrolling screens and I used the recovery from here using Odin to flash. http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/

Thanks man
So back on topic, I really want the smoothness! and
I've read that build is alpha, but are you happy it's stable enough?
smooth scrolling will be amazing, but a tab that keeps crashing is a lot more annoying and I will wait a while otherwise
Otherwise i'll go for the root, and then install that app mentioned above
Cheers for all your advice guys

Latest build is up and mine is WiFi only this is suitable for daily use. JB mixed in with CM 10 is really smooth and once Samsung puts out the drivers for camera 3G etc this ROM really does make the tab buttery smooth. Things are so much more fluid. JB ROM has given my tablet and experience as good as the iPad 2. There are things to fix and alpha meet early days but the dev has worked really hard on this and to a lot of us forgotten by Samsung tab owners a huge WOW.
Great, I want to try this
Can I ask, does CM mean clockwork mod or cyanogen mod?

Sorry I typed wrong I meant ClockworkMod Recovery
Cyanogen is CM 9 or CM10 whole ROM
See. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery

Usually, clockwork mod is abbreviated by CWM and cyanogen mod is abbreviated by CM

1. Download Odin from available threads
2. Download a recovery for Odin flashing (like cwm), be sure to get the correct one for your tab (if you have WiFi only its 7510 or p4wifi, for 3g its p4 or 7500)
2.a you can start downloading the ROM you want right now as well, so you don't have to wait later on.
2.b download appropriate gapps (for ICS or jb)
3. In Odin make sure nothing besides the auto reboot and the thing the right if it is checked
4. Put your tab in download mode: turn it off. Turn it on while holding volume down, you'll get a screen with two icons on it. The right one should already be selected so press volume up to select, if not then press volume down to switch then volume up to check. The tab will tell you to press volume up to continue, do it. Congrats, now you are in download mode.
5. Connect your tab to your computer. One iPod the empty squares above should turn yellow and something written in it*
6. Click PDA for file selection. Select the recovery.tar.md5 you downloaded.
7. Press start, when finished your tab should reboot.
8. Get the downloaded ROM on the tab, however you wish.
8.a backup everything you want backed up. Photos mucpsic and other stuff won't be deleted if its on the "sdcard"
9. Turn off tab. Turn on again while holding volume down.
10. Enter recovery by pressing volume down then using volume up to select (you want the left icon)
11. Navigation in CWM: volume keys=up/down, power button=confirms selection
You want to wipe data, wipe cache and then to into advanced and wipe dalvik cache, return to the top
14. Select apply update, select choose zip, find ROM you downloaded, confirm.
14.b sometimes it might not be best to flash gapps at the same time as ROM, so it may be better to reboot phone then when started reboot again into recovery then flash gapps like you flashed the ROM.
For future ROMs only 8+ is needed, sometimes 8a and wiping data in 11 is not needed, this is usually for small updates of the same ROM (like cm night lies) however you can always try not to wipe data then if you have problems reboot into recovery and do the three wipes.
* if nothing turns yellow make sure you have drivers. You can install lies to get drivers(but make sure no lies process is running when you start odi ) or search for drivers and download them
The touch sensitivity is much better but still has its moments but that could be the ROM its self
