//nevermind

I want to install GladiAtrix 3 but i can't find the “Install zip from SDCARD” option in the recovery mode. There is only a "install update.zip" or something like this. Any help?
I'm on 1.83 with Glingerbreak 1.20 and GladEnable.

There are 2 menus to go through.
The first should have the following options:
- Reboot system now
- Apply SDCARD :update.zip
- Apply SDINTERNAL update.zip
- Wipe DATA/Factory reset
- Wipe CACHE partition
- Install zip from SDCARD
- Backup & restore
- Mounts & storage
- Advanced
- +++++Go Back+++++
The second should have the following options:
- apply sdcard :update.zip
- choose zip from sdcard
- toggle signature verification
- toggle script asserts
- choose zip from internal sdcard
- +++++Go Back+++++
If you aren't getting these menus, I would reinstall Tenfars CWM and try again.

maybe he was using the regular recovery and not CWM.

That’s it!!!
Make sure you have System Space at least 1.3Gb. Otherwise you have to redo it again and again.
Use FriendCaster app for Facebook and CM7 Camera (http://www.mediafire.com/?czzy0o2u571ex8y) instead of Stock MIUI.
If you don’t have internal storage you will loss all your app every time you reboot!
Warning:

Make sure you back up, before you flash anything!

[Q] Feedback to [GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS) #213 on page 22

Am 10 postings away from being allowed to join the original discussion.
Have ICS 4.0.4 OTA upgrade to ...-P6800XXLQ1-...

CWM installed well from recovery.
But CWM did not install root.zip!
Error message:
CWM Recovery v5.8.1.5
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
What could have gone wrong? What further details are needed to find a remedy? What else is needed to root successfully?

Updates:
I have found solutions after reading all posts related.
If you have just PC Odin an unrooted SGT 6800 into ICS, your SGT now cannot be rooted. What I have done thereafter is as follows:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
5. Once done, choose reboot.
Now you new ICS is rooted.

Which zip and which sdcard, that is the question.
Hi ronnieho,
thanks for your quick response and help. I am sure you will get me running. Please give me some more details which due to my lack of experience I feel to be missing.
Please let me explain this, then you will know which details still trouble me:
Last week I managed to root my ICS SGS2 following these instructions:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
It is in german, but based on the original thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
The german instruction was very specific about which zip to put into which (internal or external) sdcard.
The english XDA instructions are not that specific about these obviously very important details.
Would you please add these details to your instructions:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
Does this mean, place CWM.zip into the external sdcard (i.e. /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard) of the 6800?
From the threads refered to in my first post I have CWM 5.8.1.5. May this work too? Or must it be CWM 5.5.0.4? Where can I get CWM 5.5.0.4?
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
Yes, this is how I get into recovery mode.
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
goto _which_ zip from _which_ sdcard.
Rooting my SGS2 I used
- install zip from sdcard
Here _sdcard_ meant the external sdcard
And _zip_ meant CWM.zip.
Is this also true for your instruction step 3?
toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
Where/to what item should I apply these instructions?
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
So far I did not save any zip to the internal sdcard?
Should I have saved root.zip into the internal sdcard in step 1?
Which root.zip? Remember, I have CWM.zip and root.zip from the Attached Files of posting #213 by kable in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
Can I use these files or should I download different zip-files? From where?
Sure, I could simply try out my questions, but I am afraid to brick my Tab.
Another important detail may be that I did not use Odin to copy the zip files to the tap. In my successful rooting of the SGS2 I simply used the USB MTP connection and copied the zip-files like I copy video and audio files, and it worked. I would prefer to keep this copy practice also regarding the Tab7.7. Or must I copy with Odin? Why? Do I miss something if I copy in MTP mode? Does Odin do a different copy? Does Odin copy to different/specific sdcard locations?
I am confident that using your instruction will make the difference. Please give me the details which I feel to be missing.
Thanks!

Took the risk - Success, at last!
Since I did not get any more helpful answers, I had to reconsider the situation. Finally I decided to take the risk by using a best of
a) the xda-developers [GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112
, e.g. postings #1 by Jade Eyed Wolf, #213 by kable, #227 by ronnieho, #230 by mashkuov, etc.
b) aljee77 guide for the SGS2
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
Trusting that the xda-developers zip-files, CWM.zip and root.zip, will be ok for the Tab7.7
and hoping that the aljee77 procedure will also work as well for my Tab7.7 as it has worked for my SGS2,
I took the risk and finally succeeded to root my Tab7.7.
My successful procedure (Thanks to aljee77 and mashkuov):
1. Data preparation (zip-files)
1.1 Downloaded CWM.zip and root.zip to my computer from mashkuov, post #230 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=23
1.2 Copy these zip files from my computer to respective sdcard in my tab.
I have the Samsung Kies drivers installed on my computer. But I do not use Odin. I connect the tab and the computer with the USB data cable and simply use the USB MTP connection. I simply copy the zip-files like I would copy video and audio files by simple Windows Explorer file-drag/drop between the the source/target location icons.
1.3 I copy CWM.zip into my _external_ SDCARD
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Card
on the tab: /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard)
1.4 I copy root.zip into my _internal_ SDCARD ( /sdcard/ ) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Tablet
on the tab: /sdcard/)
2. Temporary installation of CWM Recovery:
- Reboot to recovery:
2.1 Download and install LATEST SAMSUNG KIES (or stand-alone USB drivers if you can find them)
2.2 Transfer CWM.zip to the EXTERNAL CARD on Galaxy Tab 7.7 (already done in step 1.3)
2.3 Turn off the Galaxy Tab 7.7
2.4 Enter Recovery
- Hold Volume UP button + Power Button
- When TAB turns ON, RELEASE POWER BUTTON (Keep Holding Volume UP Button)
* Will Enter Recovery
2.5 In the following basic menu use Volume Up/Down to navigate and Power OFF to select/accept options!
- Choose apply update from external storage.
- Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appears.
* Now a temporary CWM is installed and activated.
* This CWM recovery is only a _temporary_ CWM and will be gone after reboot!
* see #217 by vegaman: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28300775&postcount=217
3. Install root
* Once the CWM recovery appears:
* _Touch-screen_ to navigate and to choose an option!
- install zip from sdcard (1st CWM menu)
- choose zip from internal sdcard (2nd CWM menu) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
- toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable <--- ronnieho #227 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
- +++ GO BACK ++++ (from 2nd to 1st CWM menu)
- reboot system now (1st CWM menu)
* After reboot your tab will be rooted and temporary CWM will be gone.
4. Enjoy!
Now the tab is rooted! Temporary CWM is gone.
Now you can download Superuser App and Superuser Elite App (both by ChainsDD) from the market.
5. If you want a permanent CWM see #220 by Handymeister: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28319010&postcount=220
- after installing temporary CWM I flashed the root.zip with it.
- then reboot
- with root I flashed the CWM with Mobile Odin and that works fine and is now resistant again

Your tablet should now reboot.
After the white on black "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" splash screen comes on, the Cyanogen Mod splash screen comes on (a spinning disk around the words "CyanogenMod).
The first time CM 10 boots takes a long time. Mine took just over 4:30 minutes. Be patient.

Why are you wiping again after the install I dont see a plausible reason to do so.
Btw, thanks for the post really useful.

Sony XZ Premium orthodox - extreme cleaning procedure

By popular requests, here is my everyday orthodox cleaning procedure, prior flashing any rom:
Prerequisites:
- rooted device
Benefits: Your phone will feel like new.....
1) Resizing partitions:
- Flashing all these roms, sometimes cause resizing your system partitions and you wont even know it....... please do the following: Shut down phone (completely). Boot to recovery > wipe > advanced wipe > select system > click repair or change file system (bottom) > resize file system > swipe to resize (bottom)
Notes:
- If you get errors resizing these partitions (red), just reboot and repeat this procedure again, until no error shows up.
- You will do this resizing to three partitions (system, data and cache).
2) Delete everything in root:
- Boot to recovery (again) > click mount > mount or check all partitions > click home or back > click in advanced > file manager > in root "/" click check mark (bottom right) > click delete > swipe to delete all in "/ "(root) ...... (This procedure will wipe your internal / external storage)
Notes:
- This procedure will delete all extra files and junk files on your partitions....... don’t worry the important partition's files are read only. So, after reboot everything will be fine.
- This procedure can cause freeze , vibrate or show some errors (in red). This is normal. don't worry. Just hold up + power (buttons) together, until you hear two vibrations. Phone will shut down or reboot.
