[HOW TO][GSM]10/20 Honeycomb Team - RC1 Flash

**First off, I am not responsible for anything you do from my post that messes your device.**
Screenshots in second post.
Noob questions will be ignored. Ok here we go.
Pre-requisites
1 - Working knowledge of how to flash via Odin (I ain't teaching ya)
2 - sdcard that has the bootloader fix, HC rom and any other needed files on it already (makes last couple of steps faster)
3 - The ROM from here
Instructions
1 - Backup your stuff.
2 - Backup your stuff
3 - Download the needed stuff from the attachments
4 - Download the needed Froyo (yep you read that right) rom to 'restock' the device from here and extract the enclosed tar file
** JJ7 ROM here for those that have reboot issues with the roto JME ROM. **
5 - Start Odin and select the downloaded .pit file for the PIT section and make sure re-partition IS checked
6 - Select the .tar file that your extracted from the Froyo rom download for the PDA section (it has an MD5 extension added to the end, you can remove it)
7 - Attach tab in download mode (power + volume down) and click the start button when Odin is ready and wait (about 3-5 mins)
8 - Allow tab to boot and click through welcome screens (don't worry about connecting to network or account or anything as it wont last) and take a trip down memory lane (mmmm Froyo) ... Done? Good, run the bootloader patch and patch if needed and reboot.
9 - Open Odin again and select the p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar file from the attachments and add it to the PDA section, no .pit file this time
10 - Make sure re-partition IS NOT checked and connect your tab (in download mode) and click start and wait (30 secs) and tab will reboot
11 - Reboot will get stuck at bootlogo, power down and reboot into recovery (power + volume up) and the EXT4 conversion should start (you need an sdcard in the external slot) ... wait for it to finish, it will take a while, when done wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot into Froyo once again and skip through the welcome stuff
12 - Reboot into recovery with the sdcard in the external slot and select "install from sdcard" -> "choose zip" and select the HC beta rom and flash it
13 - Flash a Froyo radio from this thread if you want the 3G working. (JK3 works well with my GT-p1000 from Bell)
14 - Reboot into Honeycomb goodness! Reboot again for good measure.
Have fun!!!

A little more info would be helpful. Is your tab GSM? What is happening instead?

Yes.when pressing power and volume up,there is after a few seconds a flah of frizzly colours across the screen and it get stuck with the boot logo.Tab can go in download modus,but not in recovery.
Also it doesn´t charge anymore (grey battery symbol).

Are you holding the buttons longer than needed maybe? Let go of both buttons as soon as you see it power on. As for your grey battery, leave your tab plugged into the wall charger for four hours then unplug, reenter download mode and start from scratch. Sounds like either you started to flash with little battery left or the CMW recovery didn't take and need to be reflashed.
Also you didn't specify or put it in your signature but you are using a GT-P1000 right? This si not for any Sprint or Verizon or even a LTAM verison, just ATT/Euro versions of the tab.

I'm kinda itchin to try this out. I've yet to download the roms though.
Just wondering, how's the current HC running on the gtab? (performance, battery-wise)

Can you be more specific ?? Dont undestand how to do nothing

IF you just want it to surf the web and play some games then it works fine. Don't expect many apps to work though as the SD card issues will break some apps.

Slim,
One thing that is special, is it will let those who want to use Google Body run it.
At this time GB does not run Google Body.
Other then those apps that are HC specific, your right.

First time flasher

Finally got my tab back and I am now thinking of flashing a custom from on to it. So I just wanted to know which is the best rom to install on my version P7500 and one that as the least problems. This will be the first time i have done this so how easy is it and what's the best way to do it with out effecting your flash count

I can suggest 2 different ROM´s.
Overcome v2.3.1, all is working, but is Honeycomb 3.2.
Or, when you not need the camera, use ICS 4.03.
(Camera driver is not available at the moment for ICS)
My favorite is AOKP, Version Milestone-4 and update build28.

Here are some hints:
Installation:
Make sure you're on the latest CWM (root your TAB)
MAKE A NANDROID Backup (in CWM)
wipe data/factory reset in recovery
flash ROM
flash Gapps
reboot

wait for the ICS its coming soon

When you make a nandroid backup how restore it as last time i tried this when I did the wipe data/factory reset it wiped the phone clean including the back up
[ I bought my tab already rooted and had to restore it to get it fixed]

Your guess is as good as everyone elses. I've seen estimated times pass already, and several say another month and longer.
Seems the only agreement you'll get is either soon or later, to never.

Nandroid make backups in /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup,
factory reset does nothing there.

I would also suggest overcome 2.3.1 while waiting for ICS release. I actually use the camera :-(. Otherwise I would be using a custom ICS ROM.

How good is overcome 2.3.1 am on the original rom 3.2 and it still feels like it struggles at times

Give the rom a change and flash it, you will see it is awesome,
but the custom ICS roms are also for daily use ready.
The only possibility to determine which rom is better for you,
is to flash it all.
You can not damage your TAB, and with Odin you can anytime back to stock samsung firmware, which were found on sammobile homepage.

Will this effect your flashcount

How do you root the 3g version there used to be a guide on here but i cant find it

This guide is the best and it works for the 3g model as well

Samsung has already rolled out ICS for galaxy S II and the ICS for GT 10.1 is supposed to be released soon but soon is such a bad word to use since its always used to evade responsibilities!
Anyhow I am hopefully Samsung will push it out before end of Q2 as promised before but what saddens me is that the next Android Jelly bean is right around the corner yet all the companies are struggling to update their devices to ICS. Android's biggest problem as of right now is fragmentation and Google should look into it seriously!

And also I would suggest ICS rom from AOKP as even though Task did an amazing job with his Task14 rom it struggles at time to do very simple things where as ICS is blazing fast even though u might find hiccups once in a while !

Did you also flashed the correct file,
there are two full versions available?

Overcome_10.1_Series_v2.3.1_P7510_Full.zip

First of all there is no way to avoid that 'flash count' thing...
Now, there is no need of rooting if u are going to flash a custom rom like ICS (preferably AOSP) or Overcome....coz they come pre-rooted...
1) Grab the latest odin flashable CWM recovery from http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/recovery/cwm5/p4/recovery.tar.md5
2) Flash the above downloaded CWM in the PDA section of Odin. in the Download mode (press the vol down button while turning on the tab...when two icons appear, press the vol up button and again confirm by the vol up)
3) Also Download the required Custom Rom .zip file and copy it to the SD card root of ur Tab..
4) Turn the tab off and while restarting again enter bootloader mode by keeping the vol down key pressed...now use the vol down key to navigate to the left icon nd use the vol up key to confirm...now u'll enter CWM recovery...
5) Use the volume keys to navigate...nd power switch to confirm.
6) Wipe user data...cache nd dalvik cache (in advanced)...
7) Now go to 'install zip from SD card' nd 'choose zip from sd card'
8) Now choose the zip file dat u copied earlier nd confirm...(if u flash ICS then u also hav to Flash Gapps without a reboot in between)
9) After everythng is done reboot your tab...nd ur done...
10) Enjoy....nd Happy Flashing..!!!

[Guide] How to root Stock ICS rom without binary count

I'm no longer providing support for this thread due to time constrains with school, thank you for your support and it been nice sharing this method with you all. I may be gone but this method has still been reported as working, but it is possible that the next updates pushed to your phone might break the rooting and this method might not work anymore. But there is no harm in trying, at most you get an error in recovery saying file is invalid.
This method works on the released ICS rom from Germany and I would expect it to work for the rest of the ICS roms due for release..
This method does not increase the binary counter or causes a yellow exclamation mark
Update :
Due to rising numbers of phone being bricked based on rumors and stuff, I strongly suggest NOT trying to use any nandroid backup or restore on this CWM and it is best we keep CWM out of our devices to do major I/O stuff. So far I have never seen anyone bricked their devices on this small rooting/unrooting process but JUST DO NOT MAKE BACKUPS OR RESTORES!
Rooting
Download the Files first and put in your EXTERNAL SD
Reboot to stock recovery. - Shutdown your device completely, press and hold Vol Up + Power button + Home, releasing the power buttons once you see the Samsung GALAXY Note N7000 screen but continue to hold the Vol Up and Power buttons still until you enter recovery
Choose apply update from external storage. - Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
( From this point on, the volume rockers and power buttons do not work! It is now a Touch interface like how you use the phone normally )
Choose install zip from external SD
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
Unroot
Download this File first and put in your EXTERNAL SD
Reboot to recovery.- Shutdown your device completely, press and hold Vol Up + Power button + Home, releasing the power buttons once you see the Samsung GALAXY Note N7000 screen but continue to hold the Vol Up and Power buttons still until you enter recovery
Choose apply update from external storage.- Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
( From this point on, the volume rockers and power buttons do not work! It is now a Touch interface like how you use the phone normally )
Choose install zip from External SD
Choose and Install SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Unrooted
Partial Root
Alright i managed to obtain partial root myself and a fix for the Partial root is quite simple. You can install SuperSU by Chainfire and update the root. would fix the Partial root. Once you install this.. DO NOT USE the Superuser app and DO NOT uninstall the SuperUser app. Use SuperSU from now.
SuperSU - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
MOD Edit: cwm.zip removed from the attachments, read Entropy512's post.

Thanks, but does this install CWM as well? id like to know so that I can go straight to flashing roms from it

are you sure this works ? can anyone confirm ?

Works perfectly. Just rooted stock ICS.

Got a brand new Note in the box here.....
Trying to get things straight. Seems like I have two options now for rooted official ICS.
1. This method. Update official ICS Via PC odin (no binary counter, ect) and then follow above instructions.
2. Root stock gb via old method (not sure what that is yet) and then use the mobile odin proceedures w/ new ICS CF kernel?
Is the end result gonna be the same?
Bonus question for noob: what is binary counter and red triangle/exclamation point?

Did you just copy this thread?
Oh well. No harm done I guess. Of course it works. It's a method for all android phones. Temporary cwm so you can copy busybox to /system.

Yeah it looks like it, but since it actually works i can't see why that would be a bad thing. But i would give the original author credits in the first post; that is if you copied it.

Yes you will end up with the same result if you take either one of the 2 ways to root
Binary counter is a Samsung measurement of how many times you flashed custom firmwares using PC Odin, and the yellow (not red ) triangle is just a logo to further show that you indeed flashed custom firmware
However, the binary counter will not increase (and therefore no yellow triangle will appear) if you:
1. Flash stock firmware with PC Odin
2. Flash using Mobile Odin app by ChainfireXDA
3. Flash using CWM recovery

I got binary counted to 1 with yellow triangle after flashing ics stock from alba.can i use this method to erase counter and triangle?

I didn't have GB root because my previous version had root, but I $%*^ screwed
up and let KIES update it to 2.3.6 and I've got too much work to screw around with back flashing wiping etc.
I went ahead and let kies update to ics, now, my question, will this method work, or will I still have to go though all the other to get it to work.
I see it works on stock ICS, but is that after kies, or after you update via pc odin?

This method works as long as you are on Stock ICS.. Can't really go wrong really.

so i did and have root and root works..
now my question is....
given that we get temp CWM..can i use the temp CWM to flash radios?
AND so if i want to flash LP6 radio via CWM will the steps be.
load Stock recovery
flash CWM.zip in stock recovery
load CWM
flash lp6 radio
will that work?
=============================
After no one answered i took the plunge...
Yes
so can confirm that the above procedure will work
PS: Am amazed how this is not in the sticky
Can anyone tell me any issues with using the CWM offered in this thread??? as in any issues with flashing other roms?? etc??
I fail to see?
The only issue is that CWM is not permanent but u can easily re-enable it by flashing it again...
again..dont understand why ppl are not paying attention to this thread as is great!

how come i only got partial root? i cannot paste into system

[Q] Attempting to flash ICS333 - Stuck at CWM/Can't access SD card error

Hi all,
For the last couple of days I've been trying to flash my Galaxy S with ICS333 using the following guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25722239#post25722239
-----------
"3. Enter Download Mode, open Odin, check Re-Partition, press PIT button and browse for the PIT file, press PDA button and browse for the PDA file in the ROM folder, press PHONE button and browse for the PHONE file, press CSC button and browse for the CSC file and finally press START button.Wait till it`s finished and when the phone reboots disconnect from PC.
4. When the phone has booted into the ROM and you see the wizard screen just enter download mode again, plug your phone into the PC, open Odin, press PDA button and browse for the CF-Root kernel, press START button and wait for it to finish.After the phone reboots disconnect it from the PC, let it boot and when you`re in the ROM, set your phone to mass storage mode from settings>wireless & network>usb settings and plug your phone into the PC, copy the ICS333 ROM to your internal SD root location, assuming you have downloaded it from here : http://goo.gl/LuXvH and disconnect from PC.
5. Enter CWM, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and flash the ROM.You will notice the phone will reboot immediately because it will switch kernels, from CF-Root to Semaphore, prior to flashing the actual ROM.As a result, it will boot loop or get stuck on Semaphore logo, so just force it into CWM using the 3 key combo (no need to take the battery out).Now flash the rom again and wait till it`s finished and > Reboot to system!."
-----------
After performing stage 3 I waited for the phone to restart and understand that I should have seen a ROM/Wizard appear. This did not happen and now the phone just goes straight into CWM upon boot.
Whilst in CWM I get the error E:Can't mount /sdcard/ and non of the functions work. What should I do next? I've had a search around these and other forums but can't work out what to do. Don't want to just keep trying random things and end up making the situation worse.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

get back into download mode to flash a rescue kit or a JVU upgrade from My Android Collections also tick update bootloader
But First power down, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT SD card, press power button for a minute , than power up without SIM and Ext SD Card...make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing

Thanks very much for the help. Used the darkyrom resurrection kit and it worked like a charm.

Sorry to be a bother again but I now have a new problem. I have updated to CM 9 android version 4.0.4 which appears to function correctly but gives me no access to the sim card (can't see any phone numbers/contacts and won't connect to the network).
I understand that this usually has something to do with EFS settings (I took a backup of the EFS using GPS Aids before I flashed) which I have tried to restore using Nitrality but with no success.
I have checked the sim card in another phone and it works correctly.
Starting to think that this flashing business is not for me.
Any ideas as to what I should try next?
Thanks
Louis

You can change the efs folder via terminal but I found the easiest way (I had incorrect imei on hellybean) was..
Flash stock GB via Odin. Flash semaphore kernal via Odin. To get cwm.
Boot into recovery and flash cm7, boot into recovery and flash cm9, boot into recovery and flash cm10.
Obviously make sure you have cm versions on the card first. Efs corrupts when you don't flash in order example GB to JB missing out ICS. Doesn't happen all the time but that's usually the cause.
Worked like a charm for me.

I am new to posting in the forum but have recently forged ahead into custom ROMs. I went from stock ICS to Pershoot's CM10 10/30 build and now on the latest 11/9 ROM. So far it works pretty good. I documented the process if anyone is interested.
It looks like there are two active JB ROMs (Pershoot's & AOKP) on the Dev thread. Just wanting to get some interaction around this SGT10.1 model.
Thanks to Pershoot. Sorry, can't post in the dev thread yet.

The only thing about Cm10 builds across the board is battery life due to the way wakelocks seem to be handled. I'm sure that eventually things will work out. For now the degree of battery drain sometimes gets exasperated on our device because of the LTE modem so I have found it best to keep certain things frozen when the tablet is not in use like logging out of Talk, freezing Maps and turning off location services along with enabling airplane mode. I am not a user of other things that require a lot of data during sleep like Facebook, twitter or other instant messaging services so generally I get adequate battery life doing these things though not as good as with HC.
One thing is certain, I have never enjoyed using the tablet as much as I do now with Pershoot's build. The responsiveness and stability is fantastic. This is the way the tablet should have shipped from the start.

Agreed. Battery depletion seems to be greater on the custom ROMs vs. stock. Turning off location services shuts down the constant Wi-fi activity when the screen is off and tablet idle for a long time. I purchased Better Battery Stats to help figure out where I can conserve battery.

Thanks for your input recoil1911. I am interested in your documented installation process. Currently I am using the stock rom (rooted) but have been thinking of going to a custom rom.

I am new to posting in the forum but have recently forged ahead into custom ROMs. I went from stock ICS to Pershoot's CM10 10/30 build and now on the latest 11/9 ROM. So far it works pretty good. I documented the process if anyone is interested.
It looks like there are two active JB ROMs (Pershoot's & AOKP) on the Dev thread. Just wanting to get some interaction around this SGT10.1 model.
Thanks to Pershoot. Sorry, can't post in the dev thread yet.

I am interested in seeing your documentation. Do these builds work on OCD 4.0.4?

Yes. You must be on ICS before installing these ROMs. I am on business travel right now but I should be able to post my notes by end of the week.

Observations:
I did have a situation where the tablet would always go into stock recovery instead of CWM after installing CWM. If you run into that same situation let me know and I can provide some direction.
CM10 nightlies can then be installed in the Android System settings "About Tablet" -> "CyanogenMod Updates" section

• Must be on stock ICS (v4.0.4) before initial flash to CM10 ROM because of the LTE modem
Might be a stupid question but, I am already running [ROM] [JB] [P4--P4WIFI--P4VZW] 4.1.2 AOKP for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Do I still need to be on stock ICS before I flash this? I understand that I do need to update CWM via odin. Thanks!

I wouldn't think so. You probably flashed from ICS when you went to AOKP. After updating CWM I suggest factory wiping and clearing both caches before installing CM10. CM10.1 for the p4vzw is out but I would stay with CM10 for this transition.

That's what I thought. Yep I was on stock ICS before flahing AOKP. On AOKP my tablet will not deep sleep. Looks to be a modem lock. I hope CM 10 has better battery life Thanks for the reply!

I have run into this and have not figured it out? What did you do?
I'm also looking for the official ICS OTA that I can flash.
Thanks

To fix the CWM boot issue. I did have to install root first by downloading and flashing su from here. http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Install "Root Browser Lite" from Google Play
Run "Root Browser Lite" and navigate to the "system/etc" folder
Select the file "install-recovery.sh" and view it. Select "RB Text Editor" to open it..
After the line "#!/system/bin/sh" add a new line and enter "exit 0". Save the file and exit.
Power off tablet, power up into recovery/download mode.
After doing these steps I noticed it still booted into stock recovery. I ODIN'd CWM once more and then it worked fine after that.
Your should have received a firmware upgrade notice when you search for updates.

I'll give it a try, thanks.
That did the trick. I was able to root ICS without error for the first time. Before I always had to install HC then root it and then update to ICS via OTA which took days before the ICS OTA would pop up sometimes. Backed up a clean copy of ICS now so I'll not deal with that again.
Thanks.
