loving it
The latest update is great! Still having a problem with the flashplayer causing crashes though..any recommendations other than the hacked apk that is available in the build?
Thanks JR,
This will always be the ROM running on my GTAB. You are a great asset to the gtab community!
tlbardelljr
This isn't a new problem (I've had it with all the Honeycomb ROMs I've used), but when I hold the power button and choose "Recovery", my G Tablet doesn't boot into recovery, it just reboots normally. I can only get into recovery by holding the volume up button while rebooting. Is this normal? It isn't really a big deal, but I thought I'd report it.
I'm running Flashback 10.3.
JazzRuby, Thank you so much for posting an update for the Gtab, any new ROM is a welcome, but more so for a HC!!!
So again Thanks!!
Just got the gtab from a friend. This ROM is amazing, but no working flash player, can't play anything. Any ideas?

Flash player DOES work (kind of). If you long press on the area where the flash "would be." And then press in the upper-left of the area, you can make the flash object full screen, where it WILL work!
which version?

Are you using the hacked flash.apk?
Nope, just update or fresh download the newest version that shows up in the market and most browser pages with flash videos will play (you can hear them but prob not see them) then you kind of have to "guess" where that "full screen" button is on the video window, and if you hit it spot on, it should launch the flash video full screen. It's a *****, but it works. I'm going back and reloading some of the other HC roms to see which one I can live with for now.
Hey everyone!
Just put this on my gtab, and i have an issue. When i go to install an app, it causes a reboot from the splash screen, and when it comes back up, the wifi doesnt work(gives an error) until i restart the tablet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is a known issue with the Shutdown.apk (app), unfortunately no resolve at the moment, but will look into it further.

Thanks for the quick repsonse!
Alright, well a bit of a rollercoaster here..
I went through and followed this guide to get my tablet up to 4349.
This one
Then, I attempted to install CWM .8 to manage roms and such.
That did not work, it soft bricked the device, so i went and NVFlashed it back, and went through the process of getting it back to 4349.
I then used the included recovery (v3?) to install Flashback.
Any tips on getting CWM to go on along with 4349?
EDIT: So far its happened with every app, it downloads fine. When it switches to "installing..." the tablet goes to the Flashback splashscreen.

OK, I think I follow you, your currently running Flashback 10.3, correct?
If so, you can flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 internally.
FB 10.3 includes the recovery binaries for Stock and ClockworkMod, you just need to flash/install via terminal.
Open/Run Terminal Emulator and type the following:
$ su - become Superuser
# cwmrecovery.sh - will flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8
# fixrecovery.sh - will flash/install Stock recovery
Terminal Emulator: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Thanks! I will try that out and post back!
Haha yeah I was, Im just gonna start from the beginning to try and iron out any problems I may have caused.
Also, the kernel in the first post, will that help improve stability? Or is it simply the overclock?
Thanks for your help!

First of all, make sure you're on 1.2 bootloader; if you've already NVFlashed 4349 then you are.
Second, download and flash/install this ClockworkMod:
http://dev-host.org/g4e68tsmgdlp/gTab.cwm.3028.1.2.zip
If you already got ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 then skip the above, if not, and you have Stock recovery, then rename to update.zip and flash.
Third, use the 'Clean' install method in the OP.
Flashback 10.3 already has pershoot's kernel baked in, the 2 kernel pkgs in the OP are to allow trying/testing between the two.
-JR-
Could you point me in the direction of finding that version of NVFlash? Im using one that goes to a very old version of TnT and then i need to wait for an OTA update.
Ive searched on the forum but havent turned up much.
That makes more sense. Thanks for all your help. I dont want to come across as a noob, but for some reason this tablet has been giving me the most trouble of all getting this stuff right. haha
---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------
*facepalm* All I had to do was reinstall Flashback.
Thanks so much for your help! It no longer restarts when I install apps.
So i think the problem was down to that I didnt use CWM to install it, after I used NVFLASH v5 it installed that new version of CWM you mentioned. I then did a CLEAN install of Flashback and so far so good! I hope this can help someone else out as well.
Looking good JR. Keep up the great work!
Is anyone else missing the \system\ data\ folder where the hacked adobe flash apk
I'm coming from flashback 10.1 upgrade install, wiped cache and dalvik cache
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
WARNING: Using sections A, B or E will increase your flash counter and thus void your warranty.
NOTE: This device is almost unbrickable so long as you don't mess around with bootloaders, so if something goes wrong post in the Q&A section and we'll help you fix it.
MODEL NUMBER KEY:before you use this guide, you must find your model number.
First digit: 5 for tab 10.1, 3 for tab 7.0
Final three digits: 100 for 3g, 110 for wifi international, 113 for wifi American
SECTIONS:
A. Root stock ICS or JB
B. Install a JB-based ROM
C. Install a ICS-based ROM
D. Install a kernel
E. Restore to stock
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Root stock ICS or JB
This should root any gtab2 10.1 or 7.0 model running ICS or JB. It will not wipe any data.
1. Download and install if you don't already have them:
SAMSUNG KIES
Odin v1.83
2. Download the correct ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) for your device according to model number:
CWM6 for p5100
CWM6 for p5110
CWM6 for p5113
CWM6 for p3100
CWM6 for p3110 and p3113
3. Put the SuperSU installer zip on your MicroSD card or internal storage.
4. Turn off the tablet
5. Hold volume UP (away from power button) for a few seconds

10. Uncheck Auto Reboot In ODIN
11. Click Start.
12. Hold power until the screen goes black to get out of download mode. Hold power and volume down until you see the "Galaxy Tab 2" screen. If you mess up and the tablet boots normally, start over from step four. If your recovery says "stock recovery <3e>", then you missed a button combo when booting and Clockworkmod was overwritten by your ROM. No harm done, just start over from step 4.
13. Use the volume buttons to navigate to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard (or internal storage)
14. Select the zip file you downloaded in step 3 and install it.
15. Click "reboot system now"
16. If you're on 4.0.4 or 4.1.1, you will see a message asking you if you want to delete the OEM/stock recovey. Say yes.
16. You should be rooted!
NOTE: CWM recovery can deleted if you perform a normal boot when your tab is on the 4.0.4 or 4.1 stock ROM. If your recovery is deleted, perform steps 4-12 again to get it back.

THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA! IT MAY ALSO WIPE YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD, SO BACK ANY DATA ON IT UP!
p5100: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5100/
p5110: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5110/
p5113: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5113/

p3110: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P3113/
Note: for more language options and versions of stock ROM's for the tab 10, go here.
1. Download the stock firmware matching your carrier/region for your device from the correct link above. This will take a long time. When it's finished, unzip or unrar it.
2. If and only if your device is currently bricked and hasn't been fixed by other stock restore attempts, AND your ROM includes a .pit file, click PIT and open the .pit file you downloaded, and check Re-Partition in ODIN. Skip to step 4.
3. Reboot into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset.

8. Try to boot the tablet. If it hangs, do not panic, just repeat step 2.
9. Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
Using Mobile ODIN is recommended for advanced users only. You must have root.
Using Mobile ODIN will NOT increase your flash counter, and therefore your warranty will remain intact.
1. Extract or copy the file you want to flash to your tablet. If you're flashing a ROM, you only want the PLATFORM/PDA file (.tar.md5) (almost always the largest file)
NOTE: There are no .pit files in Mobile ODIN. They are installed along with your flashkernel.
2. Download either Mobile ODIN pro ($5) OR Mobile ODIN lite (does not include EverRoot, so you will need to re-root using ODIN) and the p51xx FlashKernel from here.
3. Click on Open File... in Mobile ODIN and find the file you want to flash.
4. If you're flashing a ROM, click Recovery and click clear on the window that pops up.
5. If applicable, enable EverRoot.
6. Select both Wipe data and cache and Wipe Dalvik cache
7. Click flash firmware.
THANKS: weltwon and Chainfire for root & unroot method, codeworkx for the newer versions of CWM, count dooku for discovering than TW ROM's don't include a kernel the hard way, invisiblek for testing stock ROM on p5113, and all you devs who make custom ROM's and kernels.
If this guide has helped you, please hit the thanks button.
Great work!! Thank you!

If you mean the stock ROM's, both of those links work!
Well, crap
I just bought a GT-P5113 from Fry's yesterday and followed your instructions down to the letter. I was only able to get CM9 working but it is having wifi issues (many apps give `fail to download` errors when they download something on the internet - like swiftkey getting language packs)
CleanROM (1.0 and 1.1) and InfectedROM both don't get past the "Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen. I even let it sit for an hour to see if something would resolve but it doesn't. I've cleared data, cache, dalvik, etc before each install. I reflashed CWM like 4 times, I've formatted everything except the kitchen sink, I've repaired permissions, nothing.
I wish wish WISH I had a backup of the stock rom to go to as it was a better option than what Im stuck with now (the experimental nightly of CM9)
Is anyone having the same problem and figured it out or am I just going to have to wait until better ROMs come out? :-/
You're going to have to be the tester for the restore to stock procedure above.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same predicament. CleanRom hangs, CM9 is buggy. Peel cannot detect the IR blaster. Pulse and galary are not showing images.
I wonder is there is a page were I can check what bugs have been found and what changes have been made in CM9 nightly?
Thanks.
You can try InfectedROM. I used it and had zero issues.
Thanks MultipleMonomials for the suggestion. Just tried it, but this infectedRom is freezing on the SamsungGalaxyTab2 10.1 boot screen as well. I've waited for 5minutes for something to happen. So I guess I'll hop back to my CM9 backup.
(If only I had a stock backup... well a lesson learned.)
Oh. That's what you meant when you said Cleanrom hung. You might try reflashing a TW kernel (i.e. ADB fix) after flashing InfectedROM. And I don't believe any custom ROM's have support for the IR blaster (I might be wrong).
If i wanted to return to the stock rom on the 7.0 (GT-P3113) which one should I download?
This guide isn't for the tab 7.0.
So to return to stock i have to install (p5110 taiwan android, the link that is in the first page in 4th point *Return TO stock*) even if i am italian because why it is called *Taiwan android p5110* ??!
thx
thanks for your share

Your suggestion worked and most of the stuff is back to normal. Even Peel is starting up again. Just one other item I hope you have a good suggestion for. My Gallery app is not stating up, I complains about not enough memory. I suspect this is due to some privilege issue. I had created a tmp folder on the internal SD to hold the CM9 zip. I cannot delete the folder. If I access the DCIM folder I can't delete any of the image files. Thus I suspect an issue with the privileges.
I ran the fix permissions option in the Clockwork menu, and also ran some other permission fixer of google play. But they did not fix the privileges with which I had issues. I searched the forum for a similar issue & solution, but was unable to find it.
Do you have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!
Hi i am italian and i have P5110 what i have to download and install to return to stock with polaris office, music read hub and simliar ????
count dooku, it looks like your sdcard is corrupted. Get a USB MicroSD reader (you really should have one anyway) and copy your sdcard to your computer. (now's a good time to delete that folder) Then, reformat the card using Windows. Lastly, copy the files back to your sdcard.
Andrew1998, just flash the p5110 stock package.
Can someone please explain to me how to flash cm7 on my D2? I put it back on the stock rom and tried flashing it, didn't work. How to I put back the stock kernel?
what do you mean, put it back on stock rom?
what version of cm7?
where did you get it? link please
what system version is on phone?
are you rooted?
you may need to be on froyo 2.2, depends on what version you are flashing
should be like this
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the Motorola Droid 2.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Motorola Droid 2 should now boot into CyanogenMod.

Yes i am rooted
I was on the latest OTA .621 (2.3.4)
I first flashed MIUI then I wanted to flash CM 7.2.0 but it told me to check my kernel.
I downloaded it directly from download.cyanogenmod.com
I am currently on MIUI V4 2.7.6
because of the locked bootloader, you still are on .621, or at least the kernel
I think cm 7 is based on the D2 froyo 2.2 kernel, so you have no way to flash it sucessfully
try a different rom
Hi all!
This is my first post and I am new to rooting so I will not know as much advanced techniques/terms so please be patient.
I decided to root my phone to install a custom ROM (Thats what everyone wants, right?), more specifically to get a newer version of Android. I found the Aurora ROM by Dzo and I flashed 2.04 and it seems very fluid and fast. I didn't upgrade from the official 2.3 because I couldn't find the files. I'm really liking the ICS environment.
My first question is: How do I find/install a baseband? I want to use this as my daily ROM and I can't do much without signal.
Second, My battery indicator is not working and how do I fix this?
Thirdly, When I put the device to sleep for about 5 secs or more it will not wake up and reboots. Is this fixed with a later patch?
And lastly, What upgrade pattern should I use to get up to 5.0? (e.g. 2.04-2.5-2.6 etc or jump straight to a version and go from there)
Thanks in advance
First of All,you must install official gingerbread for install ICS.
Your problems (battery and baseband) are causing by old amss.bin (baseband) and old bootloader.
First,install official gingerbread with code name V100R001C00B518G001. If you install this version,you must not do root for install Aurora ICS.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lws54xxb3lcm7di
If you install it,You must install CWM 5.0.2.8 or CWM 5.0.2.7 or CWM 6.0.2.8 or CWM 5.5.0.4 or TWRP Recovery. My prefence is install CWM 6.0.2.8
Here is 6.0.2.8;
http://code.google.com/p/forumber-projects-for-u8800/downloads/detail?name=recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-2.6.35.7-u8800.img&can=2&q=
1.Download the recovery
2.Remove SD Card and delete dload folder in phone's internal memory (if exists).
3.Power on the device while pushing volume up and down buttons.
4.If the pink screen appears,connect the phone to PC and wait for detect the phone
5.Rename downloaded img file to recovery.img and copy it to image folder in mass storage in Pink Screen
6. Download latest Aurora 5.0 and update 20 and copy those files to your sd card.
7. Power On the phone while pressing volume up button.
8. Backup the system to your sd card
9. Do "Wipe data/factory set"
10.Install Aurora 5.0,then install update 20
11.Reboot the system. And that's it! Enjoy the ICS

You can install offical gingerbread on rooted ROM. You don't need to wipe because the system will do wipe automaticly
No. You do not have to wipe. But you can if you want.
To install official gingerbread, you can install it over a rooted or a non rooted device. It doesn't matter because when you install gingerbread. The device will automatically be un rooted. You would have to root your device again after installing official gingerbread.
The easiest way to root gingerbread is to use SuperOneClick. Here is a tutorial for rooting your gingerbread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
In the link above, just do the steps under 'Rooting the U8800 with SuperOneClick v2.3.3' and 'Installing ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 on your U8800'.
I hope I helped. Good Luck and have fun rooting!
When I try to flash the Gingerbread ROM, It says Installation aborted. Why is this?
I am using CWM 5.5.0.4
That's not right...

You do not flash official firmware with CWM.
You must extract the file that you have downloaded.
After extracting it, keep going into the extracted files until you find a folder called 'dload'.
Copy this dload folder to the root of sdcard.
Now, power on your phone by pressing and holding down the power + volume up + volume down buttons all together.
The phone will automatically start installing the official android 2.3

If you don't understand anything then you are welcome to ask me about it. I will explain it to you.
Good Luck!

You don't need to pass boot animation. Do this;
1.Download the recovery
2.Remove SD Card and delete dload folder in phone's internal memory (if exists).
3.Power on the device while pushing volume up and down buttons.
4.If the pink screen appears,connect the phone to PC and wait for detect the phone

Good Job. I hope you don't run into any kind of problem
i have one mytouch 4g with s-off and android 2.2.1 with root and CWM recovery.
i want to install ICS on this but not sure how to proceed as i am really confused by reading all threads . so DEVs kindly help me to install ICS step by step.
thanks
Put a ICS rom onto your sd card. Then flash it.
Broken down version:
1) download an ICS ROM zip file (I recommend SteppNasty Aospx - link in the 'resource bible')
2) put that zip file (don't extract) on the root of your sd card (i.e. not in any folders)
3) reboot your phone into recovery (either adb reboot recovery or power off > battery pull > battery insert > hold volume down button + power > select 'recovery', press power button
4) using CWM recovery, do a factory reset/wipe data, then I think under advanced select 'wipe cache' and 'wipe dalvik' (I don't have CWM anymore). If you like, you can also wipe battery stats, but I'm not sure it does anything.
5) select 'install from zip', and choose your ROM zip file
6) either flash a gapps (google apps) zip file if the ROM thread says it needs it, or reboot if it already includes google apps (most don't). Sometimes (like I think with Stepp Aospx), its actually better to reboot after flashing the rom, then go back to recovery and wipe dalvik & cache and flash gapps after getting through an initial boot. Most rom threads will have a link to the gapps they recommend for their rom. You just need one that matches the android version (i.e ICS gapps for ICS roms)
That's the usual method. Most ROM threads will have instructions on them. Seems like a lot of steps, but it usually only takes a couple of minutes.
