Working on a VZW Tab7

I can vouch for this method as well. Exactly what I wanted: near-stock, ICS, tab-aware experience that hasn't FC'd or spontaneously rebooted yet. The stock version would crash / reboot at least 2 - 3 times in the timespan of an evening.

BTW... I couldn't use the guide as is. Perhaps it's a Windows 7 thing, but the winusb driver wouldn't install. I had to use the official download for Heimdall drivers to install the driver, but then switch to the "Heimhall Mixture /w zImage & ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7" to perform the imaging.
[Galaxy Tab General] salam2012:
Thanks man.
[Galaxy Tab General] Ozark_8125:
I had a hell of a time installing heimdall on my win7-64 laptop. Odin is much easier and stable to use... but we got what we got, and I'm glad we have something!

The trick, I found, is that you have to select under advanced 'show all devices' and then select the 'samsung' something or other from the list. You then have to restart the computer to get the driver to respond properly. IF the driver app does not see your device, switch ports on your computer. There is only one USB port on my computer that will work with heimdall - the others won't see my device at all. Then reboot again just for good measure. :D

I have two

of this tablets. One went smooth and its running cm9-10120518-nightly-sprint build. However, in the other one, got the infamous encryption unsuccessfull and had to go back to gb.

Any hint guys?

Time to update

I think it's time to update this, as I just grabbed one of these off buy.com refurbed for $169. Obviously I wanted ICS.

So, I followed the first part of the instructions to get the recovery and kernel updated. Mine did not bootloop but rather booted and had the orientation problem one person reported. I managed to get it to reboot, and into recovery.

Now, to make life easier, go ahead and go to get.cm/?device=p1c and grab the RC1 of CM9 (as of writing, if there is a stable release, or RC2, I'd probably suggest that). and the Gapps from goo.im/gapps is still the latest as of writing).

Boot into recovery, factory reset, clear cache, install from zip. Choose RC1.

It will boot, reboot into recovery, clear cache, install from zip. Choose Gapps.

RC1 of CM9 Up and running in no time! No need to edit stuff.

One feature I appreciated is that the Hiemdal on the website (latest) lets you check to make sure the device is in read mode and recognized (made me feel better before I pushed start, anyway).

The RC1 will change the partition mount, do all the other stuff going from 5->10 accomplished and is a really n ice build. So far, front and back camera's working, wifi, 3g Data (although reports vzw).

Nothing broken as far as I can see.

Hope that helps someone!

Edit: Make sure you Flash GApps BEFORE you start using the tablet and/or factory reset -> Clear cache-> THEN install gapps on top of the RC1 build.

I am getting an error Failed to access device. error : - 12. Tab seems to be connected anyone have an idea what to do next. The tab is showing the under construction page.
[Galaxy Tab General] Ozark_8125:
Is that hemidall 1.1.1? Did anything happen when you hit start? I think you should try a different USB port after you cold boot your computer. Hemidall gave me fits and only works on one port on my laptop. Odin works on any old port.... :-[
[Galaxy Tab General] pmacaluso:
Yes using Hemidall. Where can I get Odin and is the instructions different.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Ok I did Odin from the forums and when I go in and try to install the clockwork mod when it tries to install I get 2 errors E: failed to verify whole file signature

E: signature verification failed.

Has anybody else dealt with the Encryption Unsuccessful bug on this particular device?

I've been trying to use the only known fix (change SD card with Internal via vold.fstab) but I'm hitting a brick wall since I'm not sure what devices are what.

Anybody managed to fix it this way (or any other way)?
[Galaxy Tab General] Naffer:
How did it happen and do you still have access to the internal memory and the SD card or is the internal memory hosed?

I had the "Encryption Unsuccessful" message pop up after attempting to flash the CDMA version of the AOKP SGT7 Rom (both builds 38 and 40) but I was able to recover by reflashing the CM9 build 5 ROM and then the build 7 ROM from the first post in this thread.
[Galaxy Tab General] ChrisCTX:
The first time it happened it was after a reboot (it has booted a good 4 or 5 times after the initial flash), I've been trying several ICS Roms (as well as flashing to stock but I dislike it), access to the internal memory comes and goes, sometimes after a flash I am able to boot 2 maybe 3 times into the device and then on the next morning boom, Encryption Unsuccessful, so I believe the internal memory is working (hardware wise) but something strange is happening on the software side.

I will try build 5 and 7 as you suggested :)

EDIT: Tried it and the error is still there :(
[Galaxy Tab General] throwback1718:
So I'm guessing that others have damaged their internal SD card doing this mod? My Tab is useless and has been for the past 2 months.
[Galaxy Tab General] droidxrooting:
I f-ing give up. I tried so hard to follow these steps and get cm9 on my i800 verizon tab that i dont have patience anymore. I am on stock not rooted gbread verison. Everytime I try heimdall it says "failed to detect compatible device" but my pc sees it. I installed all the drivers possible but still getting no result. I am proficient with Odin but never used Heimdall before. Any help would be appreciated. I have never seen such a stubborn device to root/flash stuff.
[Galaxy Tab General] kyliem2000:

1 instal proper drivers

2.if you can go download mode flash rooted stock rom: Quens_P100_EF17_ROOTED with Quens_P100_EF17_ROOTED_PDA

via ODIN

It will help you back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab General] droidxrooting:
I think i am having driver incompetability issues. Heimdall does not see my tab at all.
[Galaxy Tab General] player911:
I had to use an older version of hiemdall for the drivers to work. Did you download my hack n slash zip from the OP? I included a newer hiemdall with working drivers.

The problem is the latest hiemdall doesn't include working drivers. Getting the drivers installed IS the hard part. Once you got that, the rest is mostly automated.

Anyway its been a while since I've been here. Any new ICS builds or we still pretty much where we were months ago?

The latest build I used was like build7. Looked like build10 was out back then but didn't include anything fancy enough to flash over.

I'm really wanting video out so I can set this up as a emulator station for my boy.

--Update --

Looks like 10.1 is the latest build back from April. It supposedly fixes the rest camera so I guess that warrants a flash. Still no video out.

I wonder if the CM9 roms support the P100?
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Yes, there is a p1c CM9.

It is for P100 cdma device.
[Galaxy Tab General] pvaldeben:
Heimdall problem and 2nd flash problems and resolved

HI these are the additional steps I had to do in addition to the original OP.

Prerequisite:

1) Had to install Samsung drivers for SGT

2) had to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable

During process in Prepare CM9 v7 Update

3) Removing the first 3 lines from "updater-script":

The downloaded did not work I guess because it is of type text and in the zip its type file. Either way it was good to use as a reference since I would have no clue what the 1st 3 lines are. so edited original file then the zip worked

to get heimdall to work I had to do different combinations sequence for it to work, this was a pain.

During process COPY FILES AND FLASH

4) after step 4 "Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build5 and Flash"

boot into build 5 before flashing build 7

5) Had to switch signature verification in CWM for it to flash

Just flashed all looks good.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy Tab General] pvaldeben:
Tried flashing but fails, also tried Kangs build 40 but that gives a encryption issue

If anyone knows of a working zip to flash the latest and greatest ICS and has installed them self please let me know.

Hey I have Sprint p-100 tab imported from USA and m using it in India..where I don't need any feature like phone or sms, only a proper WIFI and camera and video recording device..I think it came as rooted as kernel its showing right now is '2.6.35.7 k.shridhar@sep-33#2' and ROM is 2.3.4..I intend to flash ICS on my tab , so will it create any issue of I carry out your procedure without Sprint network anywhere in India..pls help and pls upload the link of drivers to connect it to my laptop..m using win 7 64 bit...And also which cwm can I flash in my tab initially..

Also please tell if I have to modify any step for my tab
[Galaxy Tab General] player911:
All of the files are in the OP.

This is in the OP. I actually uploaded and linked to an already modded file. ;)

As far as the rest, I didn't have to boot into build5 before flashing build7. It probably wouldn't hurt though and would be best just to see if you successfully flashed ICS before upgrading to build7. I'll add this to the OP because it is a good idea to boot build5 before wasting your time on build7.

I also don't recall having to switch signature verification but that is a good tip in case you have problems. Typically when the signature is screwed up, I hesitate to flash it. The signature probably changed when you edited the "updater-script".
[Galaxy Tab General] ezeuba:
Guys pleas help me out. I flashed the stable cm9 for p1c on my Sprint tab, after modifying the updater-script. I got it working but I do not have data connection. 3g shows connected but I cannot browse. Any help? By the way, it gives me an ip of 10.11.*.*, whereas my network here in Nigeria is on ip 41.17.*.*, it worked perfectly on GB stock before now.
[Galaxy Tab General] eregon73:
Right on the head!!!

:highfive:You hit the nail on the head bud! I hate when people do that crap. I feel when someone, ie: YOU, goes out of their way to even do the instructions for those of us that are clueless and already a lil scared, others shouldnt try messing with the post! ONLY the ORIGINAL person who posted the "how to" guide should be the ONLY one to make any changes or suggestions. I mean if you had an issue, it may have been you, not the guy putting up the "how to" guide so therefore all of us may not have that issue and you confuse the crap out of the ones trying to follow every detail. I will try my luck on this ROM and Sorry, I needed to recognize!!! Thank you again

[Galaxy Tab General] JohnSullivan:
None of this or any other attempts to fix my SPH-P100 work. The furthest I get is "Encryption Unsuccessful" and the message goes on to say a factory reset is required which does nothing. Another issue is when I try another fix with the Cyanogen Mod which fails to mount the MicroSD card on reboot and times out and reboots repeatedly, forever.
[Galaxy Tab General] IKalam82:
Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] JohnSullivan:
I can't see what the problem is that I'm having. Is there something special about the MicroSD that is missing? None of the Odn fixes nor the Heimdall fixes work, The device can never mount anything on the E: drive. Its infuriating as hell. I think I'm going to put this thing under my heel soon as it currently shows no promising signs of becoming useful again.
[Galaxy Tab General] aborakan:
Every things ok but i cant mount apps on the sd card i tried partitioning with rom manager and failed

When i upgraded to CM9.1.0 It worked for a while then get back for not working .
[Galaxy Tab General] pvaldeben:
I got same error from AOKP SGT Build#40 then installed rom 7 again. I did not try the fix suggested in forum "[ROM] [ICS|MTD] [GSM/CDMA] AOKP SGT7 - Build #40 (01/07/2012" . Have you tried the fix below?

Question by KLRKttn:

So, then, the proper order for a CDMA Sprint install for #40 would be...

Official CM9 Kernel >>> Full wipe >>> Install >>> Bootloop >>> Install

OR replace the kernel with an official CM9 in the original #40 file before installing?

Replay by stimpz0r:

Flash the kernel after the rom and before you reboot and you should be fine. Either replace or find a cwm flash able version.

I think that there should be a disclaimer in the original post. A lot of tabs are biting the dust because of this. I know OP had good intent with this but it's making a lot of cash go down the drain.

In Recovery CWM there is an option to mound SDCARD while in recovery. This was the only way I can put the rom on sdcard.

I have been scouring threads for 2 nights already.

Been working 10 hour days 7 days a week so i don't have much time to research.

I've came across a few threads providing "guides" on how to go from stock to ICS.

I've gotten as far as getting CWM 4.0.1.5 via ODIN.

Was having problems with Heimdall. Getting that error 12 or something.

I cannot however get any of the ICS roms from rootzwiki to flash.

I've edited the update script both with notepad and notepad++ (via Windows 7)

Always says installation aborted.

Been trying to flash Update 5 as instructed.

I'm placing this rom on the root of my micro sd card.

Is there any other steps I should take?

This is my uncles Sprint Tab.

He hates it for the fact that it's gingerbread.

It's a poor tablet experience.

It's also his only Android device.

I'm trying to show him the capabilities of Android but I cannot get this going.

Any help?

I bought this old Galaxy Tab 7 on Woot! long ago for pretty cheap. Rooted it and stuff, but it didn't hold much interest for me after a while. But with ICS on this thing? Nice! It's new again! Some people absolutely amaze me. I thought this device was too old to have anyone updating it.

build7 (bad)

I flashed build5 just fine, flashed the Gapps & the sprint prl, but I was never able to get build 7 to work, it would begin to flash and then say installation aborted, and show the directory of the build 7 saying unable to locate with (bad) on the next line. What am I failing to do correctly ?

I even downloaded a fresh build 7, re edited the zip with the file/files you posted for DL rather than editing it with notepad myself, and made sure it was on the SD card
[Galaxy Tab General] yankeespitfire:
Many thanks for this great walkthrough, it worked a treat! Installed the CM9-v7 and ran it for about a week.

With that one working, I couldn't leave well 'nuff alone so I installed cm-10-20121025-NIGHTLY-p1c and it worked! One brief scare when it stopped partway through and locked on a black screen but I rebooted into recovery and restarted the install, this time it completed and came up cleanly.

Both cameras, wireless, BT and 3G all work. Play Store now has a wishlist. I don't know about battery life yet but so far it looks consistent with what I had before.

Reinstalled my apps from backups (Titanium), several fc'd but delete/reinstall solved those.

Then it annoyed me that it said Verizon here and there and that the Play Store ID'd it as a Verizon SCH-I800, so I took an 'old' sprint patch and poked into the build.prop and framework-res.apk to see where things were changed.

build.prop - changed the various product, name, operator.alpha, fingerprint, etc to Sprint from Verizon plus changed the operator.numeric=310120

framework-res.apk - the eri name was bugging me, it still said Verizon Wireless so I decompiled the framework-res.apk (ApkMultiTools) and changed the eri.xml so it displays Sprint. Only gotcha was I needed to set the compression to 0 on the compile, any sort of compression and the boot would hang on the cm spinning circle.

Other than forgetting to update the perms to 644 when I pushed the build.prop, it worked! Fortunately, it booted far enough I could adb in and fix the perms.

Now my son wants me to upgrade his too...

Update- gapps used was gapps-jb-20121011-signed

CDMA (Sprint) 3G Connection randomly drops

Is anyone else experiencing this? I have tried multiple builds including that latest CM10 nightly,everything works great with the exception of mobile network connections. The mobile network works fine when it first connects to it but eventually it stops working, when it stops working the connection is still established and signal strength is good, I just start getting errors that there is no network connection. The phone does not appear to have an IP address when this happens. I have been working around this by turning on airplane mode and turning it back off again and the connection resets and then works again for awhile, although this is annoying. Sometimes the connection will work for hours other times 30 minutes or so. I have tried various utilities from the play store that is supposed to reset network connections but have had no success, it appears most of these apps aide in the switching from Wifi to mobile networks and resetting the connection for that reason. Wifi works just fine, only mobile networks where I am having issue.

Wow just updated to CM10.

Super easy using GooManager. Downloaded CM Nightly 20121023 like posted above and Gapps package.

Factory Reset, flashed CM10. First time rebooted a few times. Finally said successful and I flashed again for laughs which went normally. I'm assuming it was changing the partitions somehow. Second time was normal. Flashed Gapps and I'm very happy with it.

Plays smooth and Netflix looks great.

I also feel much better knowing it's running CM.

It is very possible that we can now go from the original rooted rom, directly to flashing CWM and CM10... skipping all the whooha.

Flashing CM10 did require turning off the signature check.

I have to say CM10 is Much more stable and speedy then the previous builds.

Ok so i didnt see anything on here so far about this, but i put the heimhall on my sd card and then turned the tab off. I powered it back on using VOL down + Power. It has been stuck on the downloading screen with "do not turn off target!" for over an hour. Is this normal, because I thought this part was supposed to go by a little bit quicker. If the tab is frozen and I do turn it off, does it get bricked? or is it safe?
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
You probably learn the wrong steps.

You don't put heimdall on your sdcard.

You are supposed to run heimdall in your linux/windows/mac while your tab in download mode and cable connected to PC/MAC

VOL down+ power put you in download mode and it will stay there forever if you don't do anything, until the juice run dry.

In download mode you supposed to flash your tab with heimdall. And usually at the end it reboots itself.

So can we go straight from routed stock rom to cm10? Our do I follow the OP still. Please update if so. I too bought for cheap off craigslist. Don't plan on activating on sprint, just using wifi. P100.

Sounds like it. I can say the tab runs fantastic on CM10. Much better then the ICS builds prior.

Step 5 is just opening the app and picking the zImage and Recovery files. It is a very simple step but the app makes it complicated.

zImage > browse > zImage.bin

Recovery > browse > recovery.bin

Step 6 is just flashing those files.
[Galaxy Tab General] mattsm:
Well to be fair, I haven't touched this device in quite some time until recently, but now that I think about it, before I had thrown it in the closet quite a while back, I had previously converted from rfs to ext4. That is the best I can remember. This was the first cm flash on this device, I was running a stock rooted build before.
[Galaxy Tab General] player911:
I purchased mine for my son/wife to use. I didn't like the phone setup. The big difference that I DISLIKE about CM10 is that it doesn't show the on screen navigation keys, which I've been quite used to using ICS in Tablet mode. With CM10, we're back using the hardware buttons, which are never lit so kinda hard to use in the dark. I didn't see a tablet mode in the CM10 rom settings or anything about on-screen nav keys.

Other than that, CM10 runs beautifully. The Cameras works great, Netflix doesn't have any green artifacts, games seem to be more compatible, and overall feels much snappier to move through the OS.

I have a Nexus 7 for myself which I can compare it. Really breathes new life into it.
