So i have probably flashed my phone around twenty times, and each time something goes wrong or doesnt work, i have to use Odin and flash back to stock, do the JI6 update, install OCLF, root it, flash clockwork recovery, then try and flash another rom.
My concern is that it takes forever to do his process everytime. Is there an easier way to do this? Do you need to have JI6 before flashing a 2. 2 rom? Do you need root to install a custom rom? Or can you just copy over clockworm recovery to sd? Any info will help, thanks.

I've flashed my phone with every rom I could find. I was using ClockworkMod Recovery to do my flashing and never had a problem. but if you flash a 2.2 rom.... you can't go back to 2.1
Unless you open Odin and have your phone set to Download mode.

Then your phone will be rolled back to 2.1 update1 STOCK.
I had to use this 4 times. It works.

yeah ...
I have no clue how you could be having this much trouble... are you following the guides?
First off you don't need to wait for the ji6 / flash the ji6 update to get to froyo. 2nd, why are you bothering with the lag fix before getting on the rom you want to run daily? Try to keep your flashes clean. By this I mean once you're odin'd back to stock, just flash 2.2, so there's no weird mods messing things up for you. If you're finding things wrong every time you have to eliminate as many variables as you can that could potentially cause something to go wrong. If you flash straight from stock, you're only variables will be within the 2.2 ROM you're flashing. Hope this helps. It's definitely worth it to get on one of the froyo roms in these forums, I recommend Axura, no problems at all and there's an even newer release than I'm running so it might be even better.
I did a backup with 2.1 update1 stock. Then flashed to 2.2 Obsidian V4.
That's my first flash and I only got the phone for two weeks. So apparently
I was still in learning mode. I did not backup my contacts as I thought
I could easily go back to 2.1 just as if having a dual bootable linux box.
However, after restoring to 2.1, the phone did not boot. It appears that I
have to use ODIN to bring it back. But my concern is I will lose my contacts
once 2.1 is back. So my questions are:
1. if I use odin, will I lose my contacts?
2. is there any other way to let the phone boot?
3. Not sure if my case falls into the category that flash to 2.2 then cannot
go back to 2.1 unless odin is used.
Sorry for asking so many questions.
Many thanks in advance.

Ok i'm confused on how you will lose contacts.
When you add contacts to your phone are you choosing "google" as the place to add it? If you choose "phone" then you will lose contacts as data is wiped.
But always choose "google", then all of your contacts will be synced and stored to googles servers. Then once you add your google account after you flash your rom all of your contacts will be synced right back to your phone..... this is what I do and I always have my contacts no matter what
install check list
OCLF (Root only)
Rom Manager (clockwork recovery + Rom Installer)
thats all you need really for quick installs.
I did my first rom install about a week ago, since then i've flashed 4 different ones, havent had any issues. i tend to stick to installs that can be installed via clock work, Used odin 1 time that was because OTA JI6 broke me.
Obsidian V4 is unstable and was pulled from the public download page for revisions try V3 or Onyx R3.1
as for contacts, you don't have them synced Via gmail or atleast backed up on your sim?
Just so everyone knows there is a stock 2.2 for use with ODIN. No need to go back to stock 2.1 then up to 2.2 again. The 2.2 for ODIN is pre-rooted. I have done this twice now with no problems. Haven't needed One Click Root/Unroot since we got 2.2
It might be a little late to know this. But to be honest, I do not really buy into
the concept of putting everything in google's hand. That's why I chose to
save in the phone other than google.
I thought that by backing up the current ROM (2.1 update1 in my case),
I should be able to restore back to it whenever I want to.
Am I doomed? Really hate to shoot everybody an email asking for their
numbers. And worse, some of them don't have email since they are old

so far obsidian v4 has not given me any trouble, but I will give V3 a try later
to make sure I have at least one stable version.
As for contacts, I did not take it too seriously when I flashed to 2.2.
But now I realize it's a lot hassle to get all numbers back if I can remember
who are on my list.
Is there any hope to save my a**?

Thanks for all the replies but to be clear all my custom flashed roms flash successfully. Nothing wrong with flashing, just doing advanced stuff like testing eugenes kernels with other roms. If something goes wrong then i have to start over. I was just wondering if we can go from stock to 2. 2 which i know now we can. Do you need root to do this or can you just copy the update. Zip of the clockwork recovery to sd and get into it from stock recovery to flash the new rom

Ive been using gmail as my contacts backup since 06 when it was beta invite only. Synced via active sync on my windows mobile 5,6 and 6.5 phones with ease its just always made more sense then outlook or sim cards since i could access it anywhere i had internet.
Give it a shot doesnt hurt to always have atleast 1 backup

Just go into Download Mode and flash via Odin (pc) a Froyo stock firmware like JS7....or better JS5 3 files + pit 512 + repartition enabled!
Sent from my SGS with Simply 2.5 ROM
i was told that we have to first install the stock ecliar and then install froyo on it also that the rom should have 3 files modem, csc and pda is that correct?
You can simply download from samfirmware.com the 3 files version of froyo JS5 and flash it with pit 512 and repartition....
I did that many times and it has worked well (downgrading from ginger)....
So the 3 files are needed!
Good flashing! XD

Hi,
I also need help downgrading from 2.3.2.
I successfully downgraded to Froyo but now I can't restore my Contacts/SMS data with Titanium backup pro.
It restores but then I get a bunch of errors and FCs and I can no longer open my SMS/Contacts app.
Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks
this is not possible
You can't restore your contacts/sms database from a gingerbread rom to a froyo rom and vice versa. They are not compatible and it will corrupt your system so you can't use contacts anymore.
You better use a synchronising app where you can sync your contacts and maybe sms to an external service.

To save you the headache next time do this:
1) For SMS use SMS backup and restore from market.
2) Save you contacts to your SD card (external). The phone has that function built in contact-import/export-export to SD card.
As marcelser mentioned above, titanium is only good between same version firmwares for system files.

I have garbled screen at boot and been looking for 3 file firmware at samimfirmware, but cannot find one - they all are 1 file rar?
Which 2.2 firmware should I flash to get bootloader fixed and where can i get it from?
Or should I extract modem, zimage and csc from that rar that i got from samifirmware and flash that?
Will it update my bootloader if I do it that way?
Thx, sason
I just flashed bootloader only and kept my fingers crossed, so that connection does not fail when flashing
I got it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12545932&postcount=5609
You should flash the JPU 2.2.1 from Samfirmware.com because it has the froyo bootloader and is a 3-file repartition as well.

My A500 is running Taboonay 2.2 with 2.6.36.3HoneyVillain-3.4+ kernel and Thors CWM. I need to return this to acer for repair. How do I go ahead making this thing stock as it came from the factory with no root and no CWM?
I have read all I can find on reverting this back to stock but I see many different ideas on doing it. Some are restoring to stock with root. Some don't have root but still have CWM installed. Can CWM be removed? I need this back to 3.1 stock and unrooted.
I have flashed many Android phones but while this is similar, I am just missing something.
What files would I need to do this?
What are the steps?
I hate feeling like a noob.
If I have been reading correctly, will downloading the CWM-ROM_A500_701414_GEN1.zip file from this thread. work to revert back to stock? Do I only use this file if I don't want root? Or do I need root since I would have to run Acer Recovery to replace CWM with the stock recovery?
Not real sure if that's all I'd need or not?
i would try a rooted stock rom. Download acer recovery from the market and iconiaroot from the dev forum (if youre rooted you know about these). Flash the rom, install stock acer recovery with acer recovery app, and unroot with iconiaroot. This should have you at 100% stock since you can find a stock rom only altered to have root quite easily in the dev forum.
If you have CWM loaded then just download the correct update.zip for your region and install it from your SD Card.

Thanks for the answers. How would I go about reformatting the internal sd as well? At which point can I do that without screwing anything up?
I'm assuming a hard reset after I get everything back to stock would suffice?

while you still have Root privilages with any ROM, use any file explorer app (example ES File Explorer) to view "\sdcard" or "\mnt\sdcard"
Option: Save data (if you wish off to pc)
Manually delete with explorer app.
after you've manually Deleted internal sdcard folder contents...
1. Option: Save all your apps or data (that you want) (cwm backup + save to pc or safe spot)
2. Do a full wipe and format of data (to get a clean fresh install of rom)
3. Flash Rom
4. Turn your tab in.
5. After you get it back, revert back to 3.01 or TimmyDeans way back to Root)
ROM : HC v3.2 (GEN2 = USA) (STOCK OTA non rooted, locked new bootloader kills CWM recovery) http://vache-android.com/files/Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip
Optional : there will be 2 small OTA updates (8 MB each) that will get you up to HC v3.2.1 (it will be 7.014.02_COM_GEN2).
What are you sending it in to repair for? In my experience, a broken power button, a revert back to stock was unnecessary. My tablet had cwm and Thor's rom loaded, they fixed it free of charge but had loaded stock 3.2.1 on it.

Hey, thanks all for the answers. I got it back to stock. I am sending it in because after two months a line of dead pixels appeared across the screen. I wanted it back to stock just because I didn't want to chance them calling me up and telling me that the warranty was void since I rooted the tablet. It is a possibility. I don't mind if they update it to 3.2.1 though as it can be downgraded. I jsut wanted no problems with the free fix.

Here's what happen when i send mine for repair.. My rear camera got broken because of the shor fall im running on a custom rom and im rooted.. i call them to send my tab for repair then i just revert/restore my stock rom backup but without unrooting it and returning the original acer bootloader.. to my knowledge that i just read somwhere in the forums that they will just update it to the latest version which is 3.2 and it will remove the root and revert to acer stock 3.2
As i wait my tab to be returned and that day has finally come, i boot up my tab and when i was looking to test my camera the SuperUser app is still there look in to the settings and i was surprised that they didn't update my tab (still on stock 3.1) test the camera at it was much better it way different than the previous to my experience. Much faster and no lag when you move it to one place to another in a fast motion.. then shut down my device to test if i still have thor's bootloader and it is still there..

*********************************************
CM10 is now available.
Requirements: Root
From rooted stock or a custom rom, just download and install updated Rom Manager from the Play Store and download CM10 Nightly and GAPPS. Reboot into ClockWorkMod, factory wipe, disable signature check, flash CM10 twice. The first time partitions our tabs and reboots. Flashing a second time is for good measure. Then flash GAPPS. Done.
Note: I am not sure if Rom Manager can flash ClockworkMod directly. I personally updated from ICS > CM10 by downloading CM10 and GAPPS through GooManager and flashing manually in ClockWorkMod.
Its been reported that you can go directly from rooted stock to CM10. I've actually completed everything below to get to ICS first (Stock > ICS > CM10 JB).
CM10 is a much better experience. The tab works much better, doesn't freak out, lasts longer, plays better.
*********************************************
Wow. Lots of different, confusing, and scattered information about how to go from stock Gingerbread to the latest CM9 build. It is all very confusing and honestly most of the useful information isn't even on this site. So I figured I would help myself (and others) in creating a very detailed walkthrough of the process required to successfully get from GB to CM9 Build 7.
**This specifically outlines the methods to take a COMPLETELY STOCK Sprint Galaxy Tab 7" SPH-P100, unrooted, to a ICE CREAM SANDWICH rom. I "think" it might also work for the Verizon CDMA and a few others. I think the ROM itself is a general overall generic build for all 7" Gtabs. So heads up that if you have a different version, you might want to use this as a guide rather then a step-by-step.**
BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU MAY NEED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THIS PROCESS WILL FORMAT YOUR GALAXY TAB
GET CONNECTED!
We need to download Heimdall's App and his Drivers (Main URL). This is the first confusing steps as everyone suggests using an older version, but the included drivers don't work on newer Windows OS's. So you have to mix and match a few different versions to get it working. I've already compiled an archive with everything you need: Heimhall Mixture /w zImage & ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7
1. Extract everything to a simple folder [ex. C:\GTABICS ]
2. Turn off Gtab. Hold VolDown+Power until you get to a downloading screen
3. C:\GTABICS\Drivers\zadiag.exe to load drivers [try running as Administrator]
4. C:\GTABICS\heimdall-frontend.exe to start the process
5. Kind of confusing. Focus on the "BROWSE" buttons. Look for "Kernel(zImage)" on the left and "Recovery" on the right. Hit browse for each one and select the appropriate file from C:\GTABICS. Obviously "Kernel(zImage)" = "zImage" and "Recovery" = "recovery.bin".
6. Make sure Kernel(zImage) and Recovery both have files selected and a checked box. While GTAB is at the black Downloading screen: Hit "START".
7. The process is pretty fast. Don't rush. At this point your tab will probably just bootloop anyway.
LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD
Now you have ClockWorkMod installed and a proper kernel, most flashers will feel really at ease right now. But there are a few little quirks that will cause this to go bad. You have to install 2 versions of ICS to get to the latest; One using the existing partition table, and a second that will update to a newer format. You obviously have to install GAPPS like always with a CM rom, but not so fast, you have to manually "MOUNT /SYSTEM" in CWM before it will even take. And there is the fact that you have to manually open and edit the CM9 Build7 update and remove code....[holy crap].
But it is pretty easy once you go through it once.
REQUIRED FILES
JT1136 CM9 V5
JT1136 CM9 V7 UPDATE
GAPPS
Prepare CM9 v7 Update
1. On your PC, open "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-galaxytab7c-KANG-BUILD7.zip" and browse to META-INF\com\google\android
2. Copy "updater-script" to your desktop and open with Notepad and remove the first 3 lines or just Download it.
3. Drag and drop the update-script back into the META-INF\com\google\android folder, overwriting the existing one.
If all goes well, you are now done with the PC.
COPY FILES AND FLASH
1. Copy Build5, the new Build7, and GAPPS to your microSD card.
2. Boot into ClockWorkMod: Power off. Hold VOLUP + POWER
3. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
4. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build5 and Flash
5. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
5.5 [OPTIONAL] You should be able to boot into ICS at this point if you want to make sure build5 flashed properly before upgrading to build7
6. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build7 and Flash
At this step, my GTab rebooted in the middle of the process the first time. It freaked me out but I assume (now) that since it changed the partition tables, it needed to reset. So I did it a second time just to be safe:
7. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build7 and Flash
8. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
Congrats. You should have a working bootable CM9 build. But lets flash GAPPS so we have our Google services. This is tricky.
9. Mounts and Storage > Mount /System
10. Flash zip from SDCard: locate GAPPS and Flash.
11. Finally [!] reset device and prepare for boot.
Now you are on the latest CM9 build [7] and have the latest GAPPS installed. Hopefully you are booting now and see the famous ICS Boot Animation. Have fun. In the future you should be able to simply download new roms as they are available and flash normally like you would any other device.
RECAP:
Drivers and Flash Tool
Pre-Edited updater-script
UPDATES
Convert to Sprint
The above procedure will set your Tab as a Verizon version. If you plan on using the Sprint cellular service or just want everything to match, then flash this via ClockWorkMod.
****************************************
I didn't do any development work. All credit goes to Heimdall for his fantastic Recovery Flasher and jt1136 for his great stills porting this awesome rom over to our Galaxy Tabs. All I did was bump and grind my way through to see a successful working flash. I figured if I didn't post a walkthrough here, I would hate myself in 6 months when I boink something up and have to do this all over again. I would recommend you keeping all of the files safe somewhere to prevent this headache again.

i have been thinking about moving up to ICS with my sprint sph-p100
just not sure if i should jump now or wait till more things are working ?
do the things working out number those not , is it ready to be a daily driver yet?
Camera fully works but is flaky sometimes. Video out isn't working yet but he's working on it.
Other then that, its golden. Very fast and works well. Really worth it. Feels much better... like an actual tablet vs a large phone.
Iffy Camera and video out aren't worth holding back. One of the benefits is now Wiimotes and PS3 controllers will pair up using their respective apps now.

flashed sprint Tab
Hello all,
Thanks for the files and instructions! Here is my situation/question:
I bought my Gtab off of ebay flashed to work on Boostmobile's 3G network. It works great, and had no problem with the official OTA upgrade to Gingerbread.
Now I'm dying to upgrade to ICS but am worried that this would mess with my 3G connection. I can't provide any details of what went into the flashing (its not a process I understand), but I'm hoping that someone out there will.
So, if I follow the instructions in this thread will I still be able to use my Tab with the boost 3G it connects to now?
Many, many thanks for any help with this!!
Great Thanks! The first complete step-to-step instruction for installing ICS on Sprint p100.
One note- if you have Error 12 - delete all SAMSUNG USB drivers on PC, rebut and instal drivers from first archive.
At least!!! Thanks a lot!
I don't use the cellular network (sprint) but it does come up and show signal. I don't use it as a phone or anything like some people (supposedly you can install phone.apk and make calls over a voice plan).
I just use the tab as a tab. I just wanted to confirm that it appears to see the cellular network fine.

As soon as I flash version 5 I get an error that installation was aborted, what did I do wrong?

Try re-downloading the version 5 zip again. Make sure you don't edit anything within the zip before you put it on your SD card. This happened to me when I edited the version 7 zip as instructed above.
Ok. Got it working. What is the newest ver.? I'm on 4.03

I think 4.0.3 is the latest ported over. I have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.0.4 was just released... so I would expect delays in porting that over to unofficial devices.
The patch, I've found, is just cosmetic. Once you upgrade to ICS using this method, the build.prop has everything setup as a Verizon Device (name, settings, etc). They can all be manually changed but there is a patch that you can flash via ClockWorkMod that does everything for you.
The link was posted a few posts up.
What is DTI? I may just leave it as verizon since I get more signal. LOL
Hey what's up guys I just threw this on my sprint tab... I had a few quirks with it early... when I first flashed the clockwork mod on it, the screen was discombobulated... the capacitive touch orientation was in landscape mode while the actual screen was in portrait.
So when I had to put the files back on the tab after modifying build 7 zip. I had to figure how to unlock the screen and then and also to choose "connect USB to storage"
Then I got a little nervous while doing the wipe because it took long. I thought it froze..
Just a heads up of what could happen to other guys .
Also now after full install, I find that my ram is usually pretty low and my CPU usage is almost always @ 100 percent .
Taking away from the fluidity... any suggestions ?
I restored my email from titanium back up and also my browser bookmarks, now they don't open up or close immediately. This happens with a lot with system data restored things....

Whenever my tab starts it says encryption unsucessful, how can I get past this screen?
Let's use this as a place to post some information regarding whether or not you still have your IMEI intact and what you did to lose it/keep it.
Please post:
1) Hardware and release date (you can include you serial number if you would like)
2) Recovery and how you flashed it
3) ROMs/Kernels you flashed to lose it, or ones you have flashed and not lost it
4) Any other information you feel might help
I'll start: I have no IMEI problems
1 - Tmobile 16GB blue launch date
2- CWM via Odin initially, then flashed newest CWM NOT Touch via ROM manager.
3- Flashed CM10, then reverted back in nandroid, flashed a few kernels, no problems.
EDIT: Please post your findings here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arzp20hXNPi4dFg3UUozS2FQaERYNVJRVm1hWmJYQ3c#gid=0
White model 8gb a week after release date or less

No problem here, but this is what I've got,
1) T-Mobile 16GB Pebble Blue launch date
2) CWM with Odin first, then newest non touch CWM thru Rom Manager, and eventually touch CWM thru Rom Manager
3) Flashed FreeGS3 R1.5, Adama 003 kernel, FreeGS3 R3, CM9, then nandroid back to FreeGS3 R3 w/Adama 003 kernal. No IMEI issues here
Let's get to the bottom of this guys!

1) Blue 16GB T-Mobile SGS III date 06/25/12
2)Flashed CWM through QCOM Toolkit with allinone option. Before installing AOKP I installed Touch CWM 5.8.4.5 VIA Terminal.
3)Have flashed FireFox, Lean stock, and AOKP in that order, with no IMEI issues.
4)Can't think of anything else.
I started a Google Spreadsheet here to help track these problems:

1) Blue 16GB T-Mobile SGS III date 07/6/12
2)Flashed CWM through QCOM Toolkit with allinone option.
3)Downloaded Rom Manager and flashed newest recovery through app.
4)Installed Busybox and Superuser from Play store, updated both. (Didn't seem to install correctly from toolkit)
5)Still stock but have flashed Faux123 kernel 002,003,004 and still have IMEI.
Blue t-mobile 16gb few weeks after release. Flashed cwm through Odin then flashed root files. I have flashed, whitehawx rooted stock, aokp,freegs3, caprom turbo, all of faux kernels, and a few ics domination versions. Still have my imei with no issues and I have also done a handful of nandroid restores. No issues at all. I have flashed a fresh install of caprom turbo and it's running great also flashed back to stock kernel. But I'm not flashing anything until this imei problem gets cleared up a bit. I've done allot of flashing and I have had no issues... very strange.

Very nice! We need more people That lost their imei somehow
1. 16GB Pebble Blue SGSIII, purchased 6/27/12
2. CWM 5.8.4.7, flashed through ROM Manager
3. I've only flashed CM9 (07-18-12) as far as ROMs go, and I also flashed Der Kernel (Alpha 19), and I did NOT lose my IMEI.
4. If it's any help, I rooted my phone via [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687']this[/url] method so that I wouldn't trip my flash counter, then I tried to flash CWM by using Terminal Emulator, but that didn't work for some reason, so I just downloaded ROM Manager and flashed CWM through there. Shortly after, I flashed CM9 (I wiped dalvik, and cache) let my phone sit for about ten minutes, rebooted, and installed Der Kernel. I was very scared that I would lose my IMEI because I had seen some posts about people losing theirs, but I decided to take the risk anyway because I technically still had warranty since I hadn't tripped my counter. Also, this was just yesterday that I did this; my phone was bone stock. I was going to wait for a solution to the IMEI problem and for a CM9 RC, but I got tired of TouchWiz.
So, that's my adventure.
