1. Based on above suggestions, should I just uncheck auto-reboot in odin before I flash? Thus having nothing checked... (I will be coming from stock OTA GB)

2. I then will install either Legendary or Thunderhawk. Is flashing su.zip necessary or will flashing the one of those roms include it?

3. Will it be necessary to flash a zip that will convert to ext or is there an option in CWM 5 to convert prior to flashing above roms or is this an unnecessary step?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
1. Yes

2. No, the ROMs include SU.

3. No, the ROMs should format to their default filesystems.

Not sure why this is not stickied, had to bump this so it didn't drop down to the second page :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
I agree, this should be stickied alongside CWM 3.1.0.1 Purple (though that's all but obsolete at this point).
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Why hasn't this been stickied yet? It's officially supported so needs to be up there. Has anyone PM'd a MOD yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjoshplacid:
thank you. That makes me feel a lot better knowing everything went smoothly in my backup!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Emailed a couple of MODs. Thank you to whichever one finally stickied this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:

Hey drockstar! I have finds who don't have windows PCs, and are not rooted. Is there any chance you could release this in a heimdall package for my Linux buddies? I would really appreciate it. And pm me if you would rather give me instructions on how to do it. I would be glad to if you explain how.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gamescan:
You don't need a Windows PC to install CWM.

1) Root

2) Flash CWM compatible kernel (SGS Kernel Flasher from Market)

3) Install CWM from ROM Manager (from Market)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Just take recovery.bin out of either file and flash it with Heimdall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] G.I.Geoff:
Okay, I got my answer from someone else, but the problem was this: My friends have stock OTA EI22. They did not have Clockworkmod installed. One click root, and gingerbreak do not currently work for EI22. And no odin to just install clockwork mod. But I told them about what to do with heimdall and its all better now(:
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Only complaint is that you guys added the 500 "no" options back. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
That's how it has to be for official CWM compliance. Add an empty file to /sdcard/clockworkmod called .one_confirm and you won't have all the no's while installing something. If you do a .no_confirm you won't have any choice after selecting install.

/sig
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Thanks, I wasn't aware of the

.no_confirm

option, all I had heard of, and used, was the

.one_confirm

option.

Speaking of these, I'm almost positive I've seen people refer to the necessary file as ".oneconfirm" (no underline spacer). Is the underline optional? I haven't tested both filenames, I just went with what's in DRockstar's OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
It is .one_confirm. I have it like that and it works perfectly... you still have all the no's when wiping but not when flashing... which can be useful in case you accidently go into wipe data on accident or something severely noobish like that. Lol. ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Thanks for the info.

P.S. [RANT] Why is "Thanks." considered "too short?" I don't see why one-word (less than 10 characters) replies are not allowed here. Sometimes they're all that's needed! [/RANT]
[Epic 4G Android Development] DroidApprentice:
Just upgraded to this + ROM Manager and very excited to try it. But I have a worry that one of you experts might solve.

How is it possible to backup your total device ROM, data and everything WHILE it's in use? I'm used to Windows needing to be booted into DOS or some external mode so it frees up system files. Does Android not have this issue? Are nandroid backups done through the RM app just as solid as ones done though the actual boot recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
When you backup in rom manager it takes you to the recovery before it backs it up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plasmata:
I'm also at stock OTA EI22 but I DO have a PC. So would I just odin back to stock EC05 and one-click from there? Do I need to flash my modem back to EC05 as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
If you odin to ec05 the modem will be included in the flash...
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Or, you could odin a kernel tar, like mkasick's keyfix kernel, then odin cwm. It'll stick after that. Then you can flash away :) no odin to ec05 needed.

/sig
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Or just flash the cwm tar and don't check auto reboot... pull battery reboot back to cwm with three finger method and flash from there... that's how I do it ;-) countless possibilities!
[Epic 4G Android Development] plasmata:
Thanks for all of the comments. Will all of these methods work if I'm not rooted?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
If your already on ei22 stock just odin the cwm 5.0.2.7 tar and make sure nothing is checked in odin not even the autoreboot... pull battery and 3 finger boot into cwm... after that flash superuser to just get root on stock or flash a custom rom which will already contain superuser for you... you are now rooted and have super user permissions... I highly recommend legendary rc2 with the samurai 3.0.4 stealth kernel!!!! take notice however if you don't flash a rom and just the superuser zip the cwm 5.0.2.7 will NOT STICK after your first reboot. To get it to stick you must flash a custom kernel!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] vickpick:
I odined the 5.0.2.7 and i had auto reboot checked. It said pass.. but the phone didn't reboot. I hit the power key - nothing. I pulled battery pressed and held the power key- nothing.

Now I connect to the charger, the red light doesn't come on.. and the phone won't turn on no matter what I do!

Please help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Did you make sure it was the .tar? If you can get your phone into download mode try to flash again... (make sure its the .tar). If no download mode leave battery and sd card out and plug into the computer and try download mode again without the battery in...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Randomhero27:
okay, so im an iphone convert. i just recently got the Infuse yesterday. I manually entered all of my contact.

unfortunatly, under "save new contacts to" it was set to phone. and it didnt sync the contacts to my google account.

i have recently changed the "save new contact to" google. Unfortunately, there is no way to move the one i entered into this category, thus they dont sync to google. i created a "TEST" contact, and that synced right away. Even after manually syncing and getting an updated date/time the contacts (that were saved to phone) wont sync over. is there a way i can get them to sync over?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
Menu, Export contacts, export to SD card. Mount SD card, pull contact file, upload to Google Contacts.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
im trying to remember how i did this, i once had he same problem as you. one way is to create the contacts again (just the names) those new names will be sync'd to google and then you can merge them to the ones with numbers. you might also be able to create a v-card then wipe all your contacts then import the v-card that might work, not sure though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
I dont remember how to do that BUT you can go into your gmail.com enter you account and just under Mail theres

"Contacts"

You can manually enter them... yeah i know "Again??"

Unfortunately yeah... BUT atleast you get a solid physical keyboard to type them.

There are so many governors I would like to know what some of the new ones are. Mainly smartassv2 or Ondemandx, why are they better than the original? Greaslightning, superbad, scary, minmax?

This is one of the better write ups I have found Click me here at Xda. It doesn't have quite all of the governors, but it's close.

Should be a 4 digit number under your battery, something like 1010, two digits are the month, two are the year.

I forget which order it goes in but it should be evident. I know the sleep death problem was fixed in models built after early Nov '10, and the button problem might be the same.

No random shutdowns, ever. I may try cym but I'll probably just trade in the cappy for a sg2 since I'm pretty well fed up with the captivate. I've tried many roms and it didn't seem to matter. My only "guess" is that it has to do with the blk mod that's pre-loaded with most roms.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacopo3001:
I modified this post to recap the whole story. You can find the timeline development from the second post on.

My TAB is now bricked, it does not give any sign of life even after letting it charging for hours.

Not Odin or heimdall would recognize it to I cannot flash anything.

Samsung Mexico (where I am now) told me they cannot fix it because the mexican version has a different hardware configuration.

I also called Samsung US and they told me they cannot accept it, I should go back to china and repair it there (??).

I decided not to waste my time anymore on this, as it become anti economic.

(if anyone is interested in buying it as spare-parts, please let me know!)

what happened, for reference:

Chinese unicom GST p1000, previously flashed (and running) with success roto-JME.

I tried to flash JQ1 with bootloaders but ODIN failed at hidden.rfs. Since then I never manage to boot the tab anymore.

I then couldnt flash any ROM containing either hidden.rfs or movinand.mst, it would always FAIL. In order to PASS I had to remove these two from the flash, but TAB will hang at Samsung logo during boot (not sure if the reason for not booting is because of the missing files, or these 2 problems have the same cause, but are not related with eachother).

I tried a huge number of different ROMs, all give same results (even JME will fail at movinand.mst now)

in case you are wondering I already tried different computers, win and ubuntu, Odin and heimdall, changed USB cables, always the same problem.

Given the above situation (base ROM not complete and not booting + /data unmountable) I managed anyway to install Overcome and AF974, but they both hung at GALAXY TAB boot screen (the very first one) and keep rebooting every few seconds. (This is different from when it hangs at samsung logo - see above)

After this recovery started to report partition errors:

I cannot mount /DATA in either CWM or ADB , it says:

mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data failed: No such file or directory

indeed /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 does not exist.

I tried the flashing routine again, and new different partition errors came up

now the internal sd-card was not mountable anymore, instead it would read ext-sd as internal

I tried the flashing routine again, and it bricked completely to death

What I DIND'T do (learned about it too late!) prior to flash JQ1 was to neither ROOT or patch bootloaders before flashing, but I belive I should be ok:

I flashed JME successfully in the past and should be pre-rooted.

I also have reasons to think my bootloaders are not protected as:

I tried chainfire's SGTBootloaderCheck-1.0,it says I am clean.

I can flash CF-root, which is supposed to fail on protected bootloader.

I was brave and stupid enough to format /boot from recovery. Tab would not boot but I could flash it back from Odin with no problems (still, flashed an incomplete ROM without hidden.rfs)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacopo3001:
i also tried other ROMS, but have the same problem with all of them

I tried chainfire's SGTBootloaderCheck-1.0 while on recovery mode, but it says I am clean

I cannot get out of this brick, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacopo3001:
thanks but I have already seen and tried all of these.

The most commune solution to a soft brick in the forum is: "flash again".

but in my case it seems I just cannot flash anything.

Perhaps what I am looking for is a method/checklist to diagnostic the source of my problem?

or should I just keep trying flashing every possible rom? (i already tried at least 9)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirlan2001:
2 cents

Hi,

First of all, get AF974's ROM and also his kernel and the modem for your region. Put these zips on your external SD.

Get into recovery : mount every single thing you can mount, then format every thing (use ext4 if possible). Without leaving recovery, flash the kernel , then the ROM and finally the modem. Reboot and wait ...

:D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacopo3001:
thank you but I'd need more directions..

Thank you. this is a new approach and definitively worth trying it.

I would need more directions thou, as I only can flash roms using odin.

Are you saying I can flash this ROM from the recovery mode, I don't need Odin?

I am a bit confusing about the process: you are saying: 1) mount everything 2) format 3) flash.

1. What do you mean my 'mounting'?

when I go to my recovery mode i can see the option 'apply update from sdcard'. Is this what you mean by mounting?

2. Then format everything. what and how? you mean the SDcard? I am not aware of anything else I could be formatting. Please precise.

3. then flash everything.

how is flash different by Mounting, in this case? havent I already 'applyed' these files in step 1?

I am sorry if all these questions sounds idiot, I probably miss a lot of basic knowledge. I swear I did my homework, I spent DAYS reading all the forums. It's just hard to catch up everything from stratch without help.

thank you!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacopo3001:
i think i got it

I think I got why I dindt understand your previous post:

I dont have thoese options in Recovery.

The only things I see are:

Reboot, apply update from sdcard, wipe data, wipe cache.

This phone was originally working with Roto-JME and then bricked while flashing JQ1. I am not sure which version does this recovery belongs to.

Can I still do anything with this version of recovery?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirlan2001:
Hi,

Seems you got a old CWM (probably 3.x) that came with Roto"s ROM. Anyway, if you got the files I previously mentioned, make a copy of the kernel.zip and rename it into update.zip, put that 'new' update zip on your SD (eventually replacing the old one) and fire up CWM, running the 'update from SD'.

After reboot you should have a newer CWM that has more options to it. Note that the reboot may take some time... Then you can use the 'mount' to get all partitions mounted r/w... Then you run the kernel.zip and the ROM.zip from 'install zip from SD | go to external SD | choose the kernel.zip // redo the same for the ROM.zip without rebooting in between'

:D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
This sounds like you are in stock recovery and need cwm installed again.

thank you I will try later tonight.

yesterday I was quite desperate and sent the tab in to the local samsung assistance center, and they just called me they couldnt fix it!

Tonight as I get it back I will try this approach and will let you know.

thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirlan2001:
On second thought, it may even be better to install the Overcome kernel first. That has the most recent version of CWM build in, and it makes your device ext4 instead of the old RFS. After that you easily can flash AF974's combo via CWM, whitout need to rename/copy anything. The link provides the guide to the mirror of OC, as their website isn't working anymore...

:D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacopo3001:
I have tried to flash GB-Stock-Safe-v5 (as for Overcome's docs) with Odin but it fails, just like all the other flashes I tried.

Btw, I just discovered that on the back of my TAB (chinese unicom) is written WCDMA. As I always used GSM cards with it I always assumed it was a GSM version, but now I am getting the doubt.

can you confirm I am on GSM version?

the full specs written on the back case are:

WCDMA无线数据终端 (wireless data terminal)

Model：GT-P1000

CMIIT 10 2010CP4950
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirlan2001:
Hi,

WCDMA is the 3.5G data-line : this means, it's NOT the WiFi alone version. If it's marked as P1000 just as is, then it's the GSM version. That means, you have EDGE/GPRS quadband @ 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz and HSDPA 7.2Mb/s=HSUPA 5.7 Mb/s triband @ 900/1900/2100 Mhz ...

Hmmm, what error did Odin give out when the flash failed ?

BTW, happy newyear etc ... :D
