BIG Thanks to alterbridge and all the dev crew.

Loved Froyo Overcome and loving the GB one just as much if not more !!! :D

Thanks also to thepittbull for his GREAT installation guide. It all works fine IF you follow the instructions !!!! :)

( I didn't do that when I first got the Tab under 1.4.X and had some issues which I know I wouldn't have had if I'd actually used the instructions. )

I assume that the CF-Root Kernel doesn't support CIFs as my CIFS manager and Astro SMB don't work properly anymore .

Does the RichardTRipp post mentioned above help me any ???

Do I just need to copy the .ko files into the correct directory or is it tied to the kernel ( sorry for newb questions ) ????

It's funny how after rooting a device you get so used to having certain functions and get "disappointed" when they don't exist any more.

I'm sure it's all in development, but if I could get my Windows shared videos to stream again............ :o

My ORD had died with my Desire and now it's all started up again with my Tab :eek:

I honestly don't know, I left it, came back and it said failed. I held the power button to start over and its been black ever since.

Hard brick? Any fix?

Its T-mobile so they won't warranty it.

Help!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] asshunter:
Thanks for clearing up my mind.

I flashed the rom and all seems to work quite awesomely!

Thanks a lot to both of you to make such work and in a easy way!

Regarding Flash on the rom, i remove the Flash apk that came with the rom using Titanium Backup and reinstall it from the market.

It worked on both Dolphin and Stock Browser.

The whole new Flash plugin 10.3 does not work for me on BETA 1 version!

After the update, i was forced to reinstall the 10.2 version.

I will install the BETA 2 now to see.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fidjit:
On Beta 1 had Flash 10.2 issue. Uninstalled and reinstalled from market and worked fine.

Upgraded to Beta 2, upgrade to Flash 10.3...... working fine........
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] asshunter:
Just installed BETA 2. Flash 10.3 on it.

Uninstalled Flash and Reinstall from market.

Work perfect!

Thanks!

bdf - try holding the volume button down ( or up ) and power on button at the same time.

Just keep pressed for +/- 15 -20 seconds.

Perhaps it can get you back into download / recovery mode again to start over.

If nothing happens, then you're SOL.

Overcome 2.0 Beta 2 or should i say Gingerbread in general is no where near the speed of Overcome Rom 1.64.

At the moment i am switching back to overcome 1.64 without a second thought...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ipit:
Just out of interest how did you quantify that? Specific apps? something else?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sanjeezy91:
For me Gingerbread feels much smoother and it can only get better from here :)

No if you r on beta 1 you do not have to wipe anything to upgrade to beta2 just use the updater .

Works for me. Also working on beta 2 now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ziggary:
General usage when you have few apps open it feels very sluggish compare the froyo brother....

Gingerbread Browser is actually far worse then the Froyo version on 1.4ghz clock.....

I see absolutely no point in the upgrade but did like the always on led keys.

E:MBR checksum Error

I tried flashing the Overcome 2.0.1 Hermes last night using ODIN 1.7 and it is successful (at least I think so, as I follow the instructions found on team overcome website). Being itchy finger, I wanted to use the CWM to format my external SD card to ext3. I accidentally chose to format my internal SD card and then it refuse to boot up after that. I keep trying to re-flash my tab from step 1 again but nothing is happening. It will keep getting into error after hitting the HIDDEN file. then It will be write failed.

Then I will get the PC-PHONE icon and to recover from there, I just use odin to flash the pit file. And somehow I managed to boot into the stock but I cannot upgrade anymore. When I go into recovery mode, I see the header as Android system recovery <3e> instead of CWM. Then I will have the following message

--Verfing internal MMC block...

checsum confirmation -> check(1301305579)

E:MBR Checksum error

I try repeating the steps for the stock rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073854) but I will still failed when it reaches the HIDDEN file.

How can I recover and try to install the overcome rom again? Can someone guide me int he direction how to recover from this? I did some search and there are posters with the same errors at other forums but no help given in the end.

thanks in advance

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] see_u_then:
OK. So I installed the Overcome ROM and it boots pefecty. One of the first thing, I usually install is "Root Explorer". I need it to modify wpa_supplicant file for wifi access at work.

But somehow I'm getting FCs anytime I start Root Explorer? Superuser shows that Superuser permissions has been granted to "Root Explorer". Do I have to "fix permissions" or do something else to make it work?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
Try clearing the app data, that did it for me when I had the same issue.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] see_u_then:
"Clear Data" for Root Explorer is already greyed out. Moved it to SD and back to the device, but still same result. It Force-Closes. How do I make sure that I have root access and access file like build.prop and wpa_supplicant.conf?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
Not sure if you're familiar with using adb but this guide is great if you aren't: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010

If you can't get to a computer, get a terminal emulator app and edit the file via that. It should work. I'm no expert on this stuff but a few searches on Google returned some good information.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
How about you wipe caches (caches and dalvik) then try to reinstall the app and see if it works.

Bishamon follow the guide and you should be up and running if you follow it step by step.

Recovery broken and stuck to Stock?

That is funny. Looks like what happened to me yesterday... Recovery reports errors and being stuck to stock, I mean. (see my message earlier today)

If it is, then I may have a solution for you:

1. Try installing ClockworkMod ROM Manager from the market and

2. Then try to reflash Recovery from within this app (first option in the menu).

3. After that reboot into Recovery

4. Try again to flash Hermes.

May take a few tries before you get this right.

The hypothesis here is that your Recovery system is broken. It boots up but does not mount correctly. You can solve this by freshly reinstalling Recovery through ROM Manager. It installs an old edition, but that does not matter.

When Hermes is installed succesfully (step 4), it wil replace the old 2.5 version again by 4.0, but this time with no mount errors, at least that was my experience.

Try this and please report your findings.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Is it possible to port some of the elements from 2.3.4 over without an official release?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bishamon:
Seems like I still cannot use ODIN to re-stock it again. I get the following errors:

<ID:0/006> Added!!

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006>

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I was feeling hopeful cause I manage to use ODIN to install the CF-ROOT 3.3. Got flash with PIT again before I can go back to try the ROM manager method and report my findings. Problem is that the rom manager cannot detect it as Samsung P1000 but rather as Samsung S I9000. Is that ok?\

UPDATE:

After the above steps failed again on ODIN, I gave up and reboot the tab into recovery, and it still gives me the same Android system recovery and wiping all the data gave me mount error. Since it can only give me errors and there is nothing much I can do, I just reboot the phone. Then it loaded up with all the FC errors from Rom Manager and even terminal. So I reboot again back into recovery and this time, I am shown CWM 3.0.0.5 but it is orange in colors instead of the blue like what is mentioned on the overcome installation guide. So I follow their steps to do all the wipe and I get error on Dalik cache when wiping that (something about /ext-sd). Then I install the Hermes ROM using the CWM. I can load from the internal SD card, meaning it is not cleaned and I can see old data folders in it.

So right now I am on Hermes but it is bugging me that somehow it is not clean. I want to clean up everything on the tab, wipe away traces of old data and have it clean again. So I am contemplating to repeat all the steps on the overcome installation guide but just got sick of seeing the same odin error. Still trying to figure out where went wrong with odin. Anyone got some answer? Does the dump give me verbose debug log?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mashimus:
I have 2 questions / requests..

1. On the Galaxy S2, it's possible to ignore the reboot system message when changing SIM cards, all you need to do is turn on and off Airplane mode, and the new SIM will be picked up.. is it possible for us to mod the ROM and do the same?

2. Is it possible to add more functions to the notification power control widget? I would love to have a flashlight, wifi hotspot etc..

thanks!!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kmrdeva:
Are you using the original sync/data cable with your Tab? I used to have no problems flashing small files with Odin (e.g. cf-root kernel) but full firmware flashes nearly always failed. Found out the issue was due to my add-on/3rd_party cable. Changed back to the original Samsung cable and everything was ok after that.. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] theerachai:
have you check your download file?

try download again , look like some of component are missing
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bishamon:
haha i know this one. i had the same exact problem back on my original iphone 2G days. Keep trying until i learn that is always best to do all upgrade using the original cables. anything else is fine with the 3rd party. usb cables dun have such issues with my winmo though. only those stupid proprietary cables.

So i am very sure this is my original samsung cable. I have other 3rd party cables which i stock in my bag and office for charging and tethering purposes only. if I use odin to just repartition with the pit file or using the pda cf-root 3.3 to give me back root access, i have no problem. but if i follow the full installation step of pit + pda + modem, i get the error when i hit into hidden.rfs.

and now i figure that 1 in 10 to get into CWM else most of the time i ended up back at android recovery system (or is that CWM without changing the title?). when i can finally get into CWM 3.0.0.5, I can then use the zip file to upgrade to hermes but it just bugs me too much to know that my recovery has problem that i am sweeping under the carpet and that i face a 50/50 chance of odin failure for future upgrade.

when i got into recovery mode, sometimes i can see something about rfs error. so im thinking along the line if it is related to ext4.

UPDATES:

the error is mentioned above is as follows:

-- Wiping cache...

Formatting /cache...

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11

Cache Wipe failed.

-- Updating application

E:failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory)

E:install_application_for_customer: Can't mount /preload

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bishamon:
it does works the first time round, only my itchy finger of pressing the wrong thing after everything is successful screw it up. maybe you are right. i shall try it again with a new download.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobodyonline:
My SGT run smooth with this firmware. However, I found the right side of the tab heat up and battery level drop quite fast (disconnect from the charger - 99% battery level; after few minutes forum browsing - 95%).

Tried clear battery stat and battery calibration. No luck.

Initial I thought it may be 3G issue -> the same when browsing in WIFI.

Am I the only one got this problem?

Nope sry didnt tried to mess up wid voodoo coz read your post late...

Nope i never installed that app... even hearing abt this app for the 1st time...lol.. and yeah that is the weirdest thing that happened coz... from last 3-4 days before that incident i never played with the system setting as i was on the holiday wid frndz...

it happend like --> jst tab got hanged up... and boot loop... till nw the culprit is not traceable...

and @darkpal mate we had conversation before abt the RAM.... i figured out 1 more strange thing that even on a fresh GB installed (stock) without any user apps the free RAM is arnd 100-130 mb... and same with hermes 100 - 130... dnt knw hw you all manage to get 200+ mb free RAM..!:D

Upgrading - is this normal?

...or better: i kinda fear the next step. i just upgraded (full install) to the latest rom, and ...well ...after flashing with cwm i´m stuck in this screen since ...hmm, 30mins now?

any idea what went wrong/what to do next?

edit: tried to reboot - can´t enter the cwm anymore (by holding down volume up and the power button)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dx.varun:
which screen?? and whats the status stock gb or hermes?? tab booting or not?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TarKin:
the attached screen is the one after swichting on the tab.

flashed the latest overcome (2.0.1).

tab is booting into that screen when turning it on.

booting into cwm is not possible (the device turns off after the logo while i´m still holding the power and volume up button).

booting into dowlnload mode (power + volume down) is possible.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TarKin:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] humandroid:
Don't worry about that. Where do you think the Overcome source code came from... ;-). Just flash it. If all goes well you will end up with yet another color - green if I remember it well - corresponding to good old CWM Recovery version 2.5.

The good thing about this edition for me was that it works. I mean it allowed me to do a Hermes ROM Wipe-edition upgrade with no errors.

I am a *very* happy Hermes 2.0.1.-user since then (2 days by now).

That figures. This is 'stock' edition of CWM, meaning the Recovery-edition that comes with 'stock-safe' Gingerbread, after doing the Odin-flash.

I deliberately use quotes here because in my humble opinion it is neither real stock, nor working safely, because of error-reporting Recovery, at least when I tried it.

Wiping cache-stuff isn't helpful at all at this stage. Hermes 2.0.1 will do that for you if you choose the Wipe-edition

Edit: A bit confused here: What edition of Hermes dit you install? Wipe or No-wipe? And in spite of mounting errrors in Recovery, you were indeed successful? Are you sure the upgrade from within Recovery did not fail and your are not looking at the old upgrade? After wiping cache it may look new to you. Because: If installed correctly Hermes 2.0.1 should come with Overcome CWM Recovery 4.0.0.2 in BLUE.

It is a matter of opinion, but to me Odin is not 'clean' at all because you need a Windows-computer to upgrade your GT. And if I am not mistaking, Odin also is fooled into thinking it is flashing a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, I mean the Odin 1.7 edition provided dates back to October 2010 when it was mainly in use for the Galaxy S-series.

Personally I prefer to manage upgrades from within CWM ROM Manager and CWM Recovery. I say: use Odin to get started and then forget about it, once you get your GT running far enough to install ROM Manager from the market, because then you get controle over CWM Recovery. After that, you can clean up your ssd and sd by upgrading to Hermes and future Overcome-editions.

Do not give up! There's light and beautiful celestial Hermes-mountains at the end of the tunnel of flashes!!

Going to Gingerbread...

I know this is a totally retard question but I want to double check to make sure I now know Im doing so... sorry in advance...:rolleyes:

Im still (and HAPPILY) running Overcome ROM 1.4.0 but finally thinking on flashing to 2.01. Since I NEVER upgrade (my 1.4.0 ROM with all updates works 100% perfectly) and want to make sure I have a perfectly working backup in case 2.0.1 gives me headaches, aside from a full CWM 3.x backup I just did, all I need to do is flash the FULL zip of the new 2.0.1 ROM and that's it? I assume all I have (except on the Internal/External SDs) will be totally obliterated and replaced with the new ROM, is this correct?

Now, just in case something goes wrong or I don't like it (I know all will go well, but, just in case)... I can simply perform a restore of my 1.4.0 backup and all will be back as before the flashing, correct? I also assume that after flashing 2.0.1 my CWM is automatically updated to 4.x and if I restore from the backup I revert back to 3.x... or the 4.x actually stays permanently?

And no matter these operations, my EXT4 files system stays the same right? I dotn need to do or re-do any conversions I assume...

Thanks in advance for clarifying all this to me... I know I know, I should know this by now but my Tab works so wonderfully with the old ROM I just dread to screw something up because of my Gingerbread curiosity... To be honest I have a gingerbread HTC phone and aside from minor cosmetics that dont make any difference to me, I relaly dont see whats any better, faster, more reliable or "addede-value" than Froyo as far as im concerned... but... maybe it's time to face alterbridge86's new masterpiece on the Tab:)

Thanks again!:)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Follow the guide to flash Hermes 2.0.1. You need to flash a stock safe first to get to hermes as the bootloaders got changed (gingerbread boots with it own set of bootloaders). If you flash hermes directly via CWM you WILL BE SCREWED i.e your tab will not boot. If you want to go back to froyo. Follow the Froyo guide flash the stock froyo to downgrade bootloaders and push your 1.4.0 rom on it.
