Well crap.. I honestly don't know if there is a notable difference in the Aussie hardware or not. Hopefully someone can chime in.

Just so I am clear ... you WERE able to flash the latest FroYo firmware (Step A) AND the updated Kernel (Step B) and after doing this the Tab is functional? Then after attempting Step C is where it breaks?

I suggest you try the steps again but when you get to step C

UNCHECK the CSC box

and see if it will flash. If it does flash please report if this then allows you to boot the system.

In my research CSC is used for Country Specific Code OR Customer Specific Customization (Iv'e seen both used) and even though I left it checked on my US version install, it may contain information that your Ausie Unit does not like.

It's a shot in the dark but give it a go.

EDIT: FYI the PIT file contains the disk partition information and even though the field remained populated in my tutorial, it is only used in Step A when Re-Partition is Checked.

There is an official update to gingerbread. I've just done in Malaysia.

Sent from my GT-I9100G
[Galaxy Tab General] AxelRoldos:
So i've been following this thread exactly to a T and... well, is it normal to be experiencing random boots? After I flashed the first Gingerbread KPI, the stock recovery popped up and said something about a specific update/install failing. I rebooted the device, and all seemed fine until it boot looped once or twice. Then it stopped bootlooping.

So I carried out the rest of the steps and I still get the occasional random boot. Nothing triggers it besides use.

I'm gonna try the CleanROM mod, test it out for a while. If no go, i'm gonna try the steps again.

Thanks so much for this thread, btw, all the info on here is LIFE SAVING
[Galaxy Tab General] Land Master:
Not sure if that was a typo but the FIRST Gingerbread release is KPG. Basically you need to flash KPG first which holds onto root and then KPI so it will "stick".

Let us know how CleanRom works for you and you are very welcome. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Double booting

Hi there,

First of all, I would like to thank you so much for compiling all these. It's really been very helpful and now my tab is fully functioning in Gingerbread.

However, what I came across is that my tab seems to boot twice every time I start it up.

The 'android' booting screen will run for twice then only I will be able get into the system.

Do you encountered the same situation? Is it a big problem?

And, I am just wondering if this model can only be upgrade to Gingerbread the most? Will it be possible to be upgraded to higher version of firmware in the future?

Thank you. Your reply will be much appreciated. :)

PS. The only sad thing is that it doesn't support chinese input. >.<
[Galaxy Tab General] th0mass:
First of all thanks for this great guide. I successfully flashed the KPI getting help only from this thread and absolutely no idea about rooting an android. Actually this is my very first android and I bought it just one week ago!

However I had a problem while following your guide. When I try to flash KPG it gave an error then got soft bricked. I solved the problem by skipping this step and installing CWM before KPI to wipe caches and to factory reset. (After the brick I installed the latest Froyo and kernel again) May helps others,too.

Thanks again for this thread again. Considering to make some donation. ;-)

Greetings from Turkey. :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] Land Master:
I have replied to a couple of users that have experienced some issues when performing these steps. AGAIN, I compiled this tutorial using a US version of the TAB and it went flawlessly. It has also worked for quite a few others that have thanked me privately. If not using a US version of the hardware you "may" have issues. One thing to try that was posted a few posts back (but never confirmed) was to leave the CSC field unchecked. See post 33.

If the only issue you have is the "double boot" and all else seems to work fine then I wouldn't worry about it. I have never heard of that issue.

Right now GB is the latest. No ICS yet. A dev is working on CM7 and if (when) that succeeds others may try to develop ICS. We will just have to wait and see.

You need to provide more information if we are to help others that may be in the same situation. What was the "error" you received when trying to flash the KPG?

Regarding your "skipping" steps and changing up the order of the steps thats great if it works for you. There may be other "ways" and as long as the end result is something you are happy with then you are good. I just can't really offer additional support because I know for a fact that the steps I have outlined work fine.

If you have issues then unfortunately it can only be one of two things.

1. The directions were not followed exactly

2. Your device is not supported (US version is confirmed to work)

Please feel free to post additional comments regarding your experience as they are appreciated and may help others.
[Galaxy Tab General] AxelRoldos:
CleanROM was crashbooting too often, so I went back to the stock ROMs

I actually flashed the latest update that was from the Phillipines (KP5) and it's been working beautifully so far. I just wish there was a way to get all the Sumsung bloat off!

Anyways, thanks so much for this guide guys, it really helped a lot!

No more random reboots!
[Galaxy Tab General] th0mass:
I' m quite sure that I follow your guide precisely. However then problem could be related with origin of the device.

I don't remember the error, sorry for this. but it doesn't matter. If the problem is related with KPG then it may be possible for this case to upgrade by just skipping this step and using CWM for Froyo to wipe and do factory default thing before the last step. I followed my way twice without an error. And thought that sharing may help some others, too.

[Galaxy Tab General] smokedkill:
Thanks for the guide. I bought mine several months ago off Craigslist for $200 but never really did anything rootwise to it. Your guide definitely helped find the things I needed. Just wish their was more development for it but it is what it is.
[Galaxy Tab General] TrueBlueJim:
Great post but you lost me.

I downloaded the files and tried to follow your instructions. Here is where you lost me:

3. Connect your Tab to the PC and initiate "Mass Storage Mode"

•Connect USB Cable

•Drag down Status Bar and Click "USB Connected" under the ongoing tasks

•Click "Turn on USB Storage"

•Your device should mount and be available as a Removable Drive in Windows

Huh? What staus bar? Where?

Where will I see an option to click "Turn un USB Storage"?

Also, I presume that this wasn't writen as a step by step guide. One should read it, than go back and do the steps in a logical order. It would be great if you added a step by step list at the top of your post. Readers can scroll down to get the details of each step.

But thank you for writing in simple terms. You are very good at instructions. I just lost you in that one step.
[Galaxy Tab General] tasadar:
guys I am sorry for the OFF TOPIC , but I broke my p1000 and bought chinese tablet which has cpu Samsung s5pv210(humingbird also as you know) not s5pc110 which is in p1000. The chinese tablet has also powerVR540. CAN you tell me if I can install Cyanogen mod 9 on it also ???

My Idea for the question is that it has almost identical hardware( also has hdmi , will it work ?)
[Galaxy Tab General] Land Master:
Don't know marcyeo. But I do know the steps herein work to eventually get a "rooted" GB KPI. Might be a little work going back and forth but it is successful.

You and me both smokedkill but it is what it is. I actually purchased an Acer Iconia Tab A100 and like it better than the Galaxy Tab. That's unfortunately why I have been neglecting responses to this thread.

Thank you for the compliments but really ... Ya gotta know what a status bar is don't you :)

Ok.... The status bar is the bar that is at the top of your screen (black bar where the clock is located). That whole "bar" can be dragged down to expose various settings and notifications. Give it a shot and if you DON"T have one then you have other issues..

Regarding the "organization" of this thread. I hear your suggestions and "may" try to do that but keep in mind this thread is intended to be a "holding" area for all information pertaining to the GT-P1010 because it doesn't have it's own sub-forum. Trying to cut/paste and reorganize the information as new stuff becomes available would take too much time. All the required "stuff" is located at the top of the thread and should be easy to navigate. But ya gotta read and understand not only how to do things but why you are doing them.

To summarize: Read, understand, formulate a plan of attack, re-read, attack. This has always been a successful method for me.

Last I checked CM 9 wasn't even available for our devices. Did I miss something? Haven't been around much so it's quite possible. Regarding the specific hardware I'm not going to go out on a limb and speculated what methods/firmware/rom's will work on what. I've said it before, I'm not a developer. I just try to write comprehensive tutorials based upon my experiences. Again, I own a US VERSION and used it to compile my instructions.

It is definitely "rootable" check out post 4, figure out where you are at and pick things up from there. If you have not updated to the KPI firmware I would imagine Step D is what you are missing

Dead Links

Your post is just about the best, most well thought ought, and best written how-to's I've seen yet on XDA. I've been easily following it step by step and everything has happened as you said it would.

Just a little problem: the official roms you hosted on mediafire are now for pay, you can only get them if you're subscribed. The smaller files, no problem. The roms, no way.

I googled the exact file name of the roms and found them over in hotfile.com, which is a pain in the ass making you wait, but I was still able to get them. I flashed the last froyo update, the kernel, and when I was going to flash KPG, the archive THEY have (I bet yours didn't) is password-protected in the zip and I can't find the password anywhere.

Is there a way you could put it up somewhere else, so I can download it? Or if it's there in any server, let me know?

Thank you so much for the effort you put in.
[Galaxy Tab General] Land Master:
I am having no issues with the links and I PAID for mediafire so you better not be getting charged (or asked to pay). :mad:

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

If you get a chance please let me know exactly what happens (screen shot if you can) when you click the links. It should immediately start to download with no ad's and no charges. If it doesn't then I would like to get to the bottom of it.

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab General] grumpyoldgit:
Thanks from China!

I'd just like to say thank you very much for probably the best tutorial I have ever seen on an internet forum.

The logic behind going through each of the 'pre-flashing' steps becomes abundantly clear when flashing is commenced. Great stuff!

I am now running GINGERBREAD.XXKPI on my Chinese bought tab that came full of Samsung's Chinese stuff. So these steps definately work for Chinese models.

For your information, and not as a gripe, I had / have the following issues:

I found that I didn't have any option but to take the final step to GINGERBREAD.XXKPI because the tab just wouldn't boot normally with the previous Gingerbread version. I kept going, so no problems except a heart in a mouth for 10 minutes.

Now when I press CWM Manager i get a massage saying

This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been denied.

This doesn't seem to impair the use of the tab except to say, that there are problems staying connected sometimes. Doesn't happen that often, but to be honest, more often than before.

So what have I got for my time learning how to do this?

I can download directly from Google Play, I have all sorts of apps that could be great if I had a VPN (got one, but still not getting it to run on the tab properly), I've got the knowledge that I can actually upgrade my tab now (yeah), but to be honest, it's shown me that really when you're in China, it's much easier to use Baidu instead of Google, Youku instead of Youtube and so on. Download wise, you can always find a way to download an apk to the pc.

Thanks again for your excellent instructions, it was an eye opening experience for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] mike.tihonchik:
I got the same behavior :mad: I ran the Kernel update (because it was boot-looping) and my ODIN screen looked just like yours. My tablet did made an attempt to reboot, but nothing happened.

I think when you choose 'repartition' it screws up something. Is there a way to get my factory partition back?

It just boots up to main screen.

[Galaxy Tab General] WhiteWhiskers:
just an FYI, after flashing up Gingerbread manually to EUKPG and then EUKPI, connected up to Kies, and the program said there was a firmware update to XXKPO. In over a year using the P1010 Kies has never updated the US firmware so this was a first and new experience.

The whole process was automated once I clicked through all the OK and run boxes. It launched its own version of Odin. It all works perfect. The biggest change is how the screen unlocks now. The sliding bar across is gone, replaced by a swipe screen anywhere. I'm told this was to get around Apple's patent infringement claim.

Reboots when writing to /system

Hello!

I know that this is a "known" problem, but I didn't find any solution that works on my TAB.

I have tried multiple times to upgrade to rooted KPG or KPI using this guide. It should be known that my TAB comes from Germany (EU) and I have to UNcheck CSC when performing step C (though this seems to be quite normal, regarding http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24246979&postcount=33).

Regardless if I update to rooted KPI or just KPG, I get reboots whenever something writes to /system. Yes, I use the correct CWM-versions for KPG / KPI.

p.e.: I use AdAway, which reboots after updating / applying the hosts- files. Also Superuser.apk reboots after downloading and applying a new version of su bin.

Rooted FROYO (z4root, also CWM beta) works flawlessly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the Step-by-Step Instructions!

Starting with a P1010 (2.2.1, Foyo), Steps "A" & "B" worked fine on my USA model P1010.

During Step "C" I see "Pass!" in Odin, but then this failure shows up on the P1010 "Android system recovery <3e>" screen (NOTE: "meida" is spelled that way on the screen) -

=====

I tried Clearing / Wiping Data & Caches a couple of times, and kept seeing the same Error.

After that, I decided to try carrying on with the additional Steps D - F.

Those worked fine, and everything else installed OK.

So, currently I've got a P1010 that's Rooted, has CWM 3.0, and is updated to:

Firmware: 2.3.6

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-CL882382 (se.infra@SEP-95 #1)

Build: GINGERBREAD.XXKPI

Somewhere on one of the forums, I found a link to a ROM download: P1010XXKPO_P1010XEUKPO_XEU.zip

Is that an upgrade from KPI that should be installed? Is there a CWM / Root for it?

Take Care,
