Before you Begin:
This guide is a basic how-to for installing a custom ROM & its update for the Galaxy Tab 10.1v… For all those who struggled (like me)
Also, this is for Windows… If requested, I’ll dig up the Linux method.
REMEMBER: This is all done at your own risk.None of the people mentioned, or myself, can be held responsible for any damages caused! Following these steps will void your warranty.
If you are not comfortable, don’t do it!
Always keep a backup of your data; it will get lost at some point during this!
(Titanium Backup, Rom Manager etc can create backups… use ‘em!)
This guide assumes you’ve already unlocked & rooted your Tab. If you haven’t, check these threads:
(Much thanks to these gents!)
Bcmobile’s unlock thread
Chainfire’s unlock thread
Bcmobile’s rooting thread
I recommend Chainfire’s method to unlock – you get a stock ROM (unlocked) + ODIN3 in case something goes pear-shaped…
PM me if there is something I’ve missed, need to take down or redo.
I do not provide support for the ROM(s)/ programs mentioned; go to the appropriate thread (list at the end).
Above all: have fun and thank the devs who put in so much time!
Required Packages:
Java SDK – found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Android SDK – Found here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
USB Drivers – install via Android SDK Manager. See here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
(USB Package r4)
USB Note:
After installing the drivers via the Android SDK Manager, navigate the folder where you installed the Android SDK, and look for a folder called ‘extras’. Open that, then open the folder ‘google’, then ‘usb_driver’. Edit the android_winusb.inf file and insert the following text under the section [Google.NTx86] (32bit Windows) or [Google.NTamd64] (64bit Windows):
========
;
;Galaxy Tab 10.1v
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&REV_9999&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6601
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
========
All other files needed are mentioned under their specific section.
Ok, now onto the good stuff…
===============================================================================
Installing a custom ROM:
(I’m using Seo’s ROM purely as an example, as it includes a wipe file and updates. You can use whichever rom you like/ want/ need. Just check the rom’s thread/ site for any special instructions)
This example uses the TB Galaxy ROM, it can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155023
You’ll need to download V1.0 FULL ROM, whichever update you need/ want (this guide uses 1.0.9), and wipe.zip.
Place the downloaded .zip files in your Android SDK \tools or \platform-tools directory (whichever one has adb.exe in it)
[FONT="]1) [/FONT]Download and install Rom Manager from the Android Market (The free one is fine).
[FONT="]2) [/FONT]Open Rom Manager, and select ‘Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery’ (CWM). If you used bcmobile’s unlock method, you can use Rom Manager to back up your stuff, just remember to copy it off the Tab before moving on!
[FONT="]3) [/FONT]Once it has completed, connect the Tab (powered on) via USB (debugging enabled) and open a command prompt. Navigate to your Android SDK’s \tools folder and type:
adb devices
[FONT="]4) [/FONT]Now, push TB-Galaxy-1.0.zip to /sdcard/:
adb push tb-galaxy-1.0.zip /sdcard/
Copy the 1.0.9 OTA update zip as well as the wipe.zip using push.
Check the attached file for the pic...
(Mine has nothing listed after devices, as I didn't connect my Tab...)
NOTE: Seo’s instructions call for copying the file(s) to /sdcard/media/, but for some reason CWM does not let myself see that folder…
[FONT="]5) [/FONT]After it has copied, type:
adb reboot recovery
[FONT="]6) [/FONT]Once in Recovery, navigate with the volume keys, and select ‘Install Zip from sdcard’ with power button (TAP to select). Browse for the wipe.zip and select it. Select ‘Yes’.
[FONT="]7) [/FONT]After the has been completed, install TB-Galaxy-1.0.zip.
[FONT="]8) [/FONT]After it completes, navigate back to the first CWM menu and restart/reboot the tab. Be aware that the first boot may take a while.
[FONT="]9) [/FONT]If all is well, you should be seeing your new home screen… Check it out!
========
If you’re stuck in an endless bootloop or it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen, go to chainfire’s unlock thread (link at top of page) and follow the steps there. You’ll have the stock ROM loaded back on, with the bonus of the bootloader being unlocked.
========
[FONT="]10) [/FONT]Update time… Connect the Tab via USB, enable debugging, open a command prompt and navigate to the Android SDK tools folder and reboot into recovery: adb boot recovery. Follow step 6, but select the OTA zip instead of wipe.zip.
[FONT="]11) [/FONT]Once that completes, reboot & enjoy. Done!

However to Windows users who just can't get the proper drivers to work (like my case, I tried every method for a week), just install Ubuntu. Way easier...

You're welcome.
The fix by modifying the android_winusb.inf and pointing Windows to it cleared the problem for me, as did installing Samsung Kies and letting it auto-install the driver.
Otherwise, Ubuntu could work...
Yeah I know it works for most of people but check the latest posts in all the guids topics, I tried almost everything, doing things right but Xp or 7 could never connect to the tab.
I'm just saying, as an info, that if someone encounters the same issue, Ubuntu (or Linux) is the answer...
Works like a charm. Can I remove the .zip files afterwards?

Hi guys, time to cry for a little help here...
today I've managed to get 3.2 loaded on my p7100. everything went well and I was really enjoying it, until I got a crappy app that started to freeze the tab before I could remove it (AVG 2.9). I tried everything I could and after a "fastboot -w" the tablet entered in an endless loop mode, restarting all the time. I've fixed that flashing the stock rom using ODIN, but now I cannot get into clockworkmode to reload the 3.2 rom. every time I enter "fastboot boot recovery.img" (clockworkmode recovery image), it displays on the tab "Booting downloaded image" but doesnt go any further... dont know what to do now... it is working fine with 3.0.1, but I cant get 3.2 back.
thanks a lot for your help, it is much appreciated !!!!
Cheers

Forgot to mention: trying to boot into recovery mode leads to a screen with the android dude and a big yellow exclamation mark (adb reboot recovery) and nothing else happens.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
Sent from my GT-P7100 using Tapatalk
yep, I think so
Hi Isimobile, thanks for your help.
I believe it is unlocked (can see the open padlock when I turn it on, fastboot mode says unlocked and I even tried "fastboot oem unlock" once again to make sure). dont know what else to do. It seems there's something wrong with the restore partition (hope Im not saying anything nonsense here).
Cheers

Tab 2 10.1
Hi, does this same method work for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1? I am trying to install the infected ROM on it. I would appreciate the help, as you can tell, I am new here!
Hi! I have a bricked ZTE Libra (Sapo A5 in Portugal) and no mather how much I search for solutions I only seem to make things worse, so I was hoping someone here could help me.
Things started to go wrong after flashing a CyanogenMod rom. Everything worked except two things: I couldn't use anything that required my SIM card (so no phone or messaging) and I could not access the recovery screen (clockworkmod).
Without the recovery screen, I turned to ROM Manager but since it uses clockworkmod to do its work it didn't help.
Then I started trying other ways to recover my phone, until I tried ADB which allowed me a shell in my android. But then I broke it all by doing "wipe system" which cleaned my system of everything that was still working and left me with an expensive brick.
Now all I can do is boot until I see the green droid. If I don't press the volume buttons it goes into "device" mode and I can see it listed under "adb devices" but have no idea what to do with it.
If I press the volume button down to go into recovery mode it keeps flashing but never really goes anywhere.
If I press it up to go into the bootloader it stays the same and the only thing I can use to tell me something is different than the normal mode is that lsusb reports the vendor as "Google Inc." instead of what it reports in normal mode: "ONDA Communication S.p.A.".
With this I'm not even sure if I can get to the bootloader or not, but even if that is the bootloader, I have no idea what to do with it that might help me recover my phone.
By the way, I'm trying all this on Linux, although I could try solutions in Windows if required.
Can anyone tell me what can I do in this situation?
Ok, maybe my first post wasn't that easy to answer, so I'll make a simpler question to see if someone can help me.
What can be done at my android's bootloader? What is it for and what tools do I need to use to do it?
You could try installing ClockworkMod recovery using wbaw's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257 Once that's installed you should be able to flash a new rom with it.
In bootloader mode you can flash a new kernel or recovery image using fastboot.
If you follow that guide that I wrote & Amphoras linked to then you should be able to get a working clockworkmod installed and then you can use that to flash a working rom, or restore a backup.
Thank you both, I'll try what you said as soon as I can and then I'll let you know if it worked!
Ladies and gentleman, today a miracle happened, my ZTE came back from the dead!
Apparently the problem was that I installed some GEN2 applications on my GEN1 model.
I found this while reading the tutorial you suggested, after which I upgraded my ZTE to GEN2 which allowed me to slowly recover everything else.
So, I have to say, thank you very much, and I hope I won't need your help again anytime soon! xD
Hello!
I'm trying to install clockwork recovery with the fastboot method.
But when i use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257
The phone just freeze at the ZTE (white background) logo.
And the windows command prompt are telling me: < waiting for device >
I need to remove the battery to start it again.
Have also tried;
z4root + Rom Manager
OneClickRecovery (telling me exploit cannot be used trying su and launch the file explorer)
It's a Gen 2 phone with Android 2.3+
If nothing works cant i use Linux?
Big thanx! for everything.
You need to install drivers for the phone if you use Windows. Link is in the thread.
It'll work on Linux or Mac without any drivers, but you might need to be root if you don't set it up right.

Yes, i have done that. I did try the drivers in the thread and those i did get with the phone (autorun). And Windows tells me all drivers work correct.
Thnx for the answer.
When you're in the bootloader, check device manager if it shows Android with a yellow exclamation.

Yes, when i do the
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and the phone shutsdown and showing ZTE (white background) then device manager starts showing "android" with a yellow "!" behind it.
But it ain't there until i do that? And Win 7 shows a "can't find drive" i did try point it to the ZTE 3G instalation folder with the amd64 drives. But nothing happens.
Now i have tryed on my girlfriends laptop also. It also got the Windows 7 64bit. But it does not work there either. Same problem.
How long should it take until "Android" logo shows on the phone?
Thanx for all the help!
UPDATE
UPDATE!
I think i solved it.
Used: SuperOneClick
And when it started to root and downloaded all drivers i did the original ADB:
[GUIDE] How to root your ZTE Android device
And it started to install Clockwork Recovery. SuperOneClick shutdown (error) and the phone booted. And now i can boot into Clockwork Recovery with VOL-.
But Rom Manager does not find it and can't install it.
So i'm going for the traditional boot with VOL- and hit the ROM from there.
Big thanx for the help!

Never mind figured it out myself. I may post a guide here soon. Seeing as any help I ask for is ignored. I'd rather help than hold back
Turn your lG-e617g into an LG-e610 then root it and install cyanogenmod.

this is my first tutorial so message me if something on here isnt clear.
step 1: download things, this is crucial, you need to download this stuff, it took me a while to find everything that ACTUALLY WORKED so i have it all in a nice little package to download.
step 2: make sure your phone is NOT plugged in the computer, install drivers if you do not have them. i have the drivers that worked for me in the package via direct download links. if they dont work for you somethings screwy with your computer and youll have to scour the internet to find drivers that'll work, google is your friend.
step 3: make sure your phone is recognised with your lappytop or computer. thats right i said lappytop, so sue me.
step 4nce all the drivers are installed and your phone is connected to the computer youll want to open up the folder labled: "LG FlashTool and Accessories" inside youll find "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" open that right up.
step 5: next youll see a modded lg tool made by some guy on the internet, im not sure who but he/she did a good job thanks man/wo-man!!
ok youll want to leave all settings to default dont touch any thing, its good to go as is.
step 6: make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled, use the kdz updater to browse for this file (download it via links in the package) "V10D_downgrade.kdz" then click on "Launch software update" this takes a while go make a coffee.
step 7: when its done its magic, your phone will boot up and youll see the LG logo for about 10 minutes any longer and your in a boot loop remove battery put it back in and hold both volume buttons down and power at the same time. time it carefully the lights on the soft keys will come on and a split second later the phone will slightly vibrate, the second you feel that press the home and hold it for about 10 seconds and the phone will do a hard reset, the phone will turn on now and initiate the first time use wizard, its in russian at first so just change your language to whatever, assuming english here. the phones software is now rooted just no su/superuser installed download from play store and update binary in settings of su app.
step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",
type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"
step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.
seems i cant upload the programs needed so all i can do is this:

That happens when the kdz file is corrupted. Redownload the firmware and try again
its more than likely a bad connection causing a bad download also are you starting off with an e617g or e610?
Will all app data, contacts, etc. be lost using this method? Thanks in advance!

step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",
type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"
step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.
seems i cant upload the programs needed so all i can do is this:
http://199.91.154.133/15ihz730pw2g/qwyqbfcp9fe7uhu/cm-10.1-20130725-UNOFFICIAL-e610.zip
this is the cyanogenmod rom.
http://199.91.154.102/r595o5bou5eg/bb2s0ohuj3jnflo/V10D_downgrade.kdz
this is the pre-rooted rom that allows su access to unlock bootloader this also
changes the phones id from e617g to e610, startup wizard is in russian at first simply change to english.
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/c...981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1(0)_4.9.8.1.zip
this contains the correct drivers for phone.
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...65/51fc133a/1/7/5/6/7/5/9/CWM6_24-03-2013.rar
this is recovery image for cwm
and youll have to google search everything i quoted thats missing sorry about this but you need: 1) LG FlashTool and Accessories.
2) some form of adb for an adb shell.
3)emmc_appsboot.bin specifically for e610
4)lg drivers for e610/e617g
5)recovery.img for clockwork for e610
6)lastly the V10D_downgrade.kdz

Does this method actually unlock the network too? Can I use fido sim card? would it work?

Moto XT535 paradox rom modification
Hello there.
I've installed the Paradox ROM for Moto XT535 and besides few glitches, all is working fine (rooted, CWM recovery).
I have some modifications to perform but I was unable to do them, as per description below:
1. Boot animation. Sorry to say that, but the default one is very annoying. I have prepared another .zip but every time I want to install it using Ghost Commander or File manager or CWM recovery, the default one is still present.
Both Ghost Commander and File Manager are having root privileges, have mounted /System as RW and accessing /Media folder will reveal the default boot animation zip (1,8MB). I am trying to copy my boot animation over the default one, the progress bar is completed and a success message is displayed, but the default .zip is still there and the new .zip is not displayed (3.2 MB). I have managed to rename the default zip file to bootanimation-bkp.zip but when the phone is restarted, the default animation is still displayed and I don't know how it's possible, it's simlinked from another hidden folder?
2. Boot sound. Another annoying sound. Long and loud. I want to get rid of it or to change it. In the /System/Media/UI folder is not present a boot sound file, so, where do I find it and how can I change it?
3. Taskbar background. It's strange, with missing pixels and deformed/round middle and I want to change it. How can I do that?
4. I have applied the glasskart icon replacement collection to both default Apex and Nova launchers. If I reboot the phone, there is glasskart theme shown in the menu that is applied to launcher, but the icons are the default ones for each app. If I am selecting again the icon collection, it is successfully applied until the next boot. Why and how can I make a permanent selection of the icon collection?
Thank you for your time and I hope that my questions will get a solution very soon.

How to unbrick Motorola Defy XT535
Hello android geeks,
Please help me
Scenario
1. i was using chinese ics rom in my defy xt535. due to more problems with that rom, i flashed with Gingerbread rom. But i forge to wipe partition data before flashing . so i was unable to pass beyond red m logo
2. when i tried to enter recovery menu. i got a blank screen with green android with yellow exclamation mark within white triangle
3. again i flashed with chinese ics , again without clearing partition data (because i am not able to access recovery mode). now i am able to enter android , But touch screen is not working
What I have tried
1. I tried erasing phone data using Wondershare mobile transfer, but i failed as it is possible only if I enable USB debugging. sadly i cannot enable usb debugging as my touch screen is not working
Advantages
1. I can access bootloader (white screen) by pressing power button and up button
2. I can able to pass beyond moto logo, which is a good sign that the phone can be saved
Disadvantages
1. Unable to enter recovery mode (Yellow exclamation mark)
2. Touch screen is NOT working, so not able to enable usb debugging
Doubts
1. How to check whether my touch screen problem is software oriented or hardware oriented?
2. What is the method to completely erase phone data without entering recovery mode, no root, and without touch screen functionality?
3. Is there any way to install recovery menu without root function and without touch screen function?
4. My idea is to completely erase all the phone data and flashing it with gingerbread rom? Is it right or is there any other alternatives?
Things I have
1. Bricked Defy XT535
2. Laptop and PC with windows 7
3. USB cable
4. RSD Lite
5. SUTLR
6. Patch files to root Defy XT535
7. Chinese ICS ROM
8. Gingerbread ROM
9. Wondershare Mobile transfer
