Hey guys
I'm running the P1000JXJJ1, FroYo JPJJ2 firmware on my Tab, and samfirmware states P1000JVJL1 is the latest one !
so I was advised NOT to use KIES, and ODIN was better !!
My tab is rooted with OCLF set, Just a quick question, Odin will delete all my data and also I believe that I'd have to re-ROOT the device right?
another question is since I didn't have market out of the box, the product sales code has been changed to XSG.
thanks a lot guys in advance
Cheers
Jackie
if u use oclf, undo oclf b4 update firmware, kies or odin works fine for me, i'll only use odin when i screw up with my tab
and will I have to re root the device and also will ODIN delete all my data?
Hi,
searching for something else I accidentily found this thread.
Maybe my experince might be of any interest: got the galaxy tab 3 days ago, installed KIES and instantly got a message to update the firmware to Froyo JK5. I followed the suggestion to save my data which I regret later, because it took very long (had already copied a lot of videos to the internal sd) and couldn´t stop it. To cut it short:
the update was successful and nothing deleted, just everything in place. Also synchronized Outlook contacts, though at 96% it got stuck - waited a few minutes, then broke up and all contacts had been transferred fine.
(don´t know, if firmware is different for other countries...)
Odin will not delete your data if you did not choose to repartition, no need to use pit file to repartition if you are just upgrading fw from the same region..safest is still via KIES
To correct some mis-information from above. Flashing with Odin can delete your data, it depends on what components are included in the image you flash. If you flash an official ROM with Kies you should not loose your data but there is always a risk of an issue occurring during any flash that could lead to data loss. Unless you flash a pre-rooted custom ROM you will loose root and SU during a flash. These can be re-applied easily to the SGT using the Super One-Click method.
Redardless of what flashing method you use, if you use RyanZA's OCLF you must undo the lag fix before you flash, otherwise you will certainly loose data and possibly end up with a corrupt system that won't boot (I had first hand experience of this early on in my flashing days with my SGS!). You shouldn't really need to apply a lagfix to the SGT as it doesn't seem to suffer from the same lag as the SGS.
Finally, flashing with Odin can lead to product code being changed, especially if the ROM you flash isn't intended for the normal product code of your device. There are various ways to restore your poduct code, look in the Samsung Galaxy S forums for suggestions on how to do this as the basic construction of the ROMs is very similar between the two devices from that point of view. Also, be aware that people with SGS devices have reported loosing their IMEI while flashing with Odin. If this happens you will end up with a WiFi only device unless you backed up your /efs folder before you flashed. There's lots of info in the SGS forums about this and it's worth a read if you are new to flashing. I haven't heard of anyone with a SGT loosing their IMEI yet but it's worth taking precautions.
Happy flashing folks!!
thanks a bunch guys, I'm now running the latest version !!
was just trying to install the latest gingerbread theme from the forums !! will let you all know how that went

Go to the Android Development section.
Look up Overcome and BOCA for the Galaxy Tab. Both a great however I prefer BOCA. The current release is 2.3.4 but 2.3.7 is in the works.
If you follow the instructions for BOCA you will have a GTab that feels like it was newly born again.

Yes. Follow the instructions on the magrathea site or overcome
Use overcome instructions to instal stock GB 5. It tells you the pit and modem to use for your tab.
Then install the overcome kernel and reboot. It will root the tab and format the storage.
Then you install the Boca zip over the overcome kernel.
If you just want overcomes Rom follow their instructions. They make it simple

is that all??hmm,
will try donload all the files 1st,then i will try
thanks guyz for da info..
so i dont need to flash stock rom like i always do with my SGS before installing any custom rom?
can some body tell me how i can install custom rom on my galaxy tab from bell? i have rooted my galaxy tab but when i downloaded the rom manager, it doesnt have the correct flash for recovery, can some body help out please?
Please search first.
Having said that, are there any custom ROMS available for your specific Tab? Have you looked around the development fora?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
there are some custom roms for the tab, im having problem flashing cmw mod thats all, it doesnt have the galaxy tab bell version under the flash choices
CWM is not the only way to flash roms. There's also heimdall. Which Tab specifically do you have? A model number would help.
model#:gt-p1000m
You should be able to flash any gsm rom, other bell users might be able to verify, using ODIN, Heimdall or cwm. !st thing I'd do is read up on ODIN ver.1.7. Then read up on Heimdall. The more ways to flash you know the better chance, if something goes awry, you can fix it.
Being a gt-p1000 variant means you are a gsm tablet. Only flash gsm roms, wifi only and cdma roms WILL brick your tab.
Also be a good Idea to check you don't have locked bootloaders.. Check here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 . look for bootloader patch.apk
Will check if bootloaders are locked and ask if you want to unlock or will say bootloaders are good to go.
Find the rom you want to install, read up on how to install - each chef generally has instructions.
Have fun....
Go to the overcome thread, doesn't matter which one for a tutorial on how to flash using ODIN, it has pictures for those that like visual stuff...

Please at least take 5 minutes to go read some threads instead of just jumping in and assuming you can just install CWM and be ready.
Hay there! I just installed Costom Rom on my Galaxy S5 G900I after a great stuggle at one stage i thought I bricked my phone, but lucky this time. All thing is fine even great with custom rom the issue it that, It change my device information and it is Note 5 Now here is my questions?
1) How to know my Build No ( orginal one before custom rom)
2) If I want to installed another Rom then how to find my phone match's Rom?
Thanks and Sorry, If i wasn't clear enough.

Hi Jabbarshah
If you followed xda tutorials by the letter, you have made a complete Nandroid backup before starting any modifications.
Just in case the information you eagerly need isn't present, you may restore that backup and regain access to it.
What lasted after ROM installation can be easily visualized using Phone INFO ★Samsung★. Specially Hardware and Personal tabs are stock information.

Your main information while seeking for a new ROM is the model SM-G900I. Nothing else matters.
You will just need to take care, for future flashes, that your bootloader and modem are matching (closer enough) the firmware you are flashing.
Example:
a) If you intend to flash PopWiz Telstra v5.1 that is compatible with your G900I, would be kinda complex as @iris28 doesn't clearly states which firmware version he's using. The information may be somewhere onto his thread but unfortunately isn't advertised as should.
b) THE GALAXY PROJECT by Master @djb77 states clearly that he's using Lollipop XXS1BPD3. :victory: ... so you end opting for it.
Now you just have to search for the closer firmware you can find that will match (not exactly) TGP. You have a complete list at Sammobile SM-G900I. Seek for your country/provider with higher Lollipop (5.0) release. If you are unable to find a flashable Odin file for that, you may do it yourself (xda way)
Hope I could be clear enough.
Have fun.

Google search for:
"Return to stock J3109"
Or
"Stock firmware for J3109"
You'll probably find it at Sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com.
Then do a Google search for
"How to flash stock firmware in Odin"
Make sure you get the newest version of stock or at least the version equal to yours but not any that are older than what you already had.
If your device does not boot but does vibrate when you press power then you can get a debrick.img from someone with your exact model number that has a rooted device using terminal emulator to retrieve the debrick.img from their while it is on stock firmware. Then you can find instructions for unbricking Samsung devices using an SD card to boot from.

Hi guys
I recently moved to the note 4 910F from another device.
As I have always favored custom roms ( regardless if I was using a samsung or LG or another brand device ).
The problem I am facing now is that the xda Note4 forum seems to be incredibly messed up. There are literally tens of threads with useless information and whole new threads just for one download link or something.
If someone new like me comes to the Note 4 forum he will not know where to start. The previoux device I used had a beautifully organized XDA section.
Anyway. What I did until now was to flash :
1. flashed cf-root over the stock firmware and verified that it worked
2. installed busybox
3. tried to install TWRP as I have always used it . But , Their page said to make sure I have the correct bootloader installed.
So, I got back to the rom page that I wanted to use and the dev had links there for the correct bootloader and modem. Downloaded and flashed them with odin. Now my device was restarting every 1 minute or so and I no longer had any IMEI and baseband version was unknown
I fixed it by flasks the stock firmware with odin
Can you guys help me out with some correct information on how to be able to flash a custom rom ? I know how to root it but what bootloader do I need in order to install the custom recovery and flash a new rom ?
Thank you in advance.
