[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orkane1989:
Hey there my partner has bought herself a gt-i9000 still running eclair. Being a flashaholic myself I though I'd root and flash a more updated and smoother ROM for her, but alas searching around I cannot for the life of me find the right CF root kernel.

If anyone could point me in the right direction for the CF root and also a stable ROM ICS or JB preffered would be great. Phone details below.

Gt-i9000

2.1 update-1 (eclair)

Baseband xxxJG3

Thanks in advance :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stbenz:
Seems like there is no CF-Root for Eclaire. I would suggest to update to the latest version through Kies or take a ROM from here and flash with Odin. As you will flash ICS/JB anyway, it doesn't matter which one you choose.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orkane1989:
Thanks so my options are update via kies then cf-root and flash ICS/jb or flash newer firmware ROM then cf-root flash ICS/jb?

Sorry I've never used kies to update and I've always been able to flash a cf-root kernel with updating...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stbenz:
Exactly. With Kies you will get at least 2.3.3, maybe even 2.3.6. Note that the kernel hasn't changed since JW4 (2.3.6), so if you flash JW5 or later, you can use CF-Root for JW4.

ok, this is what i've done so far by reading the forum.. and it's been a great help. but need a bit more help~

HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mo)

CPU: 1.2

Android Version: 4.0.3 (OTA updated)

HTC Dev - Unlocked

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.27.0000

eMMC-BOOT

i've already installed the CWN-SuperSU-v0.94 from the command.

today, i downloaded the CM9 (latest release on 8/9/12 for STABLE) and installed it from command line. everything went well.. EXCEPT.. upon booting up.. i only see the cyanogenmod 9 (cartoon figure) with the background flashing. it kept on going for close to 15 mins and still wouldn't go further than that.

i then took the battery out and tried it again and still the same thing. so now i recovered back to the original ICS.

i wanted to go Jellybean, but the thought of camera not working won't do it for me. plus waiting for TMo to release the JB.. who knows how long that will take.

anyway.. decided to stick with ICS.

what am i doing wrong here? or should i be using a different ROM; one which can also overclock the cpu?

please help~~
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
when SON and HTC-DEV unlock ..you need to flash stuff differently

after flashing the ROM you need to flash boot.img separately

now if you are having CWM custom recovery then

flash the cm rom again from it

and copy the boot.img from the rom zip file to the adb/fastboot folder

then flash this separately

connect the phone from bootloader to pc (phone reads fastboot usb after this)

then this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

then reboot using

fastboot reboot

thats all

but if you are having 4EXT custom recovery ..then things will be much easier for you

just enable smartflash from 4EXT->tools then flash the rom thats all (the recovery will take care of the rest ;) )

also once done do the step #5 from this guide flashing ROMS with SON ..then you can even forget about smartflash ;) (read the guide too it will give you much insight as to why you are facing problems ..especially step #3)
[HTC Sensation] cthsuks:
the recovery method i used was the HTC ONE X thingy.

i found the boot.img in the recovery folder. so after i flash the CM9 from the zip file, i'd have to reboot. so instead of reboot, are you saying i need to hold down volume and power to get into recovery mode and flash the boot.img separately?

and where can i find the abd folder? do i use the SDK to copy and paste the files into that folder/ directory?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
not that boot.img ..you need to extract the boot.img from the cm9 zip file that you have downlaoded ..dont use the boot.img from the one-x tool kit

also yes ..you need to go to bootloader after flashing cm9 (but first copy the boot.img in pc)

then the adb folder is where the adb.exe and fastboot.exe is present (as you did HTC-DEV unlock ..you might have it in either C:\Android-SDK\tools or C:\Android-SDK\platform-tools)

go to there and open command prompt there

(if windows hold shift + right click ->open command window here)
[HTC Sensation] cthsuks:
crap.. when i did the HTC Dev unlock, i did it at work, so the folder: C:\Android-SDK\tools is not present on my laptop. any other way to work around?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ahh thats fine ..now we can deal it easy way ..however did you installed installed htc drivers ?

do this go to my soff guide (guide link in my signature )

1.downlaod HTC drivers from it ..in prerequisites point 2

2.first open control panel and uninstall any crap thats starts with HTC

3.install the above drivers

4.download temproot sensation windows zip file from the same soff guide (steps to run this tool -->.point 1)

5.extract it and rename the folder to adb and keep it somewhere like C:\adb

6.go to that adb folder and delete temp_root and temp_root_remove bat files

7.thats it you are done ..now you have working adb (c:\adb ) go there and repeat the steps ive told you earlier
[HTC Sensation] cthsuks:
yes i installed the HTC driver already.

following your link to install the SDK manager and keep getting:

"Failed to fetch URL, reason: Connection timed out: connect" :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
sdk manager ?? :confused:

where did i said you to install that ?
[HTC Sensation] cthsuks:
sorry i must've ended up clicking on the wrong link. so i went back to the previous post you put up.

now if you are having CWM custom recovery then

flash the cm rom again from it yup, i did that. i have the CM9 from cyanogenmod

and copy the boot.img from the rom zip file to the adb/fastboot folder

then flash this separately

yup, i created the adb folder by renaming the root-sensation-wind.zip file from your post. it didn't have the fastboot.exe in there, so i copied it from the SDK manager tool that i had installed previously when i downloaded the wrong file. i also copied the boot.img from the CM9 zip file as you suggested

connect the phone from bootloader to pc (phone reads fastboot usb after this) yup did that..

then this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

yup did that, and it was completed

then reboot using

fastboot reboot

yup did that as well and it rebooted

thats all

but wait.. the sensation is still stuck at the cyanogenmod 9 with the blue man blinking.. and it's past 10 mins and counting. still won't boot.

here's a copy of what my adb folder looks like. please let me know if i'm doing something wrong.

Hi priyana,

I followed the guide posted, and downloaded all the necessary files (some of the links in the original thread were missing).

Regardless, I downloaded similar files, and cross-checked the SHA-1 hash against what was listed on the Overcome website.

Flashed once (to Samsung factory reset), followed with a second flash to Overcome. Yahoo! :victory:

Thanks again for your guidance, even when I seemed to be a bit of an annoyance.

Again, for those looking to flashing a similar device, I should be holding the files on my computer (just in case). Just in case I need to return the favor.

Update on my GT-P1000/SGH-T849: T-Mobile to Overcome to CyanogenMod9/CM9

For reference:

Some people may be confused on how to move from Overcome to CyanogenMod.

The Overcome guide gives directions for wiping caches before installing the Overcome ROM. However, in the PDF guide, this is crossed out, as it is handled by a script in the Overcome ROM.

CM9 for the GT-P1000 doesn't seem to have that built in, which would cause a boot loop if the cache isn't cleared before installing CM9 for the GT-P1000. Since you can't pop the battery, force-shut-down the tablet by holding the power key until the tab shuts down.

After this, follow the Overcome guide to the point where the section of clearing caches is crossed-out. At this point, it's probably best to re-stock your tab (as priyana always suggests ad nauseum). Read between the crossed-out lines to clear caches, and install CM9 for the GT-P1000. It would be a good idea to install GApps at the same time using the same install procedure.

Hope this helps someone,

I'm going to give your username willing_to_cooperate the test :)

Unbelievably, I have *exactly to the letter* the same problem you had a few months ago. Like you I have a SGH-T849, and like you was trying to breathe some life into it by flashing it with Cyanogenmod. And sadly, like you I "soft bricked" it, so now all I get is a stuck T-Mobile screen on boot.

I've been trying to follow your lead and use Overcome + Odin to make things boot again, but I'm unable to get most of the files necessary. Anything that links to a multiupload.com address right now are broken links. Does anyone have other ways to access the files needed for the Overcome process?

If you have any insight on the specific step of getting the Tab out of its current bricked state, I'd much appreciate it.

Also, SGH-T849 has been mentioned as needing a "different modem". What/where is the correct file to use for that step?

Thanks,

Ben

Completing a request.

Hello bklass!

I will do one better. In this case, I will deliver. As I type, the RAR package is uploading.

I will PM you a link to the file when I have uploaded the necessary package. The link that I will provide to your account will be valid for no more than 72 hours from the time I send you the link to the RAR package via PM, NOT from the time of this public post.

I do not want to post a public link, as people will blindly download it, hoping something works. Better to reply to this thread to get the required package. That way, there's a sense of order for this device.

The size of the package is ~1.23GB.

There are some extra files there, as I was trying to make a full copy of all possible files (to possibly help other users). Please don't be scared with the different modems, just make sure to PICK THE RIGHT MODEM.... or you may screw up your tablet (which you want to avoid).

There is a PDF guide of the steps required for using the different files. I would print this off/have it open on another computer, and read through it SEVERAL times to understand what you are doing. I am not saying it's hard, it is just very technically detailed. Make sure to have an afternoon free for the entire procedure. There is a point in the guide which I labelled as "start here," as I took a break, and didn't want to lose my specific spot. If you want to break up the procedure over two sessions, that'd be a good place to stop.

I am 99.99% sure that all the files are present in the RAR'd directory. However, if by some clerical error I forgot to include a specific file (which may be in another directory on my laptop), please let me know of the exact filename so it can be added to an updated archive I upload and send to interested users.

Simply referring to a post (that may be outdated, littered with dead links, and people thanking in-reply instead of properly using a button) does NOT help potential users/customers entering the Android family.

All I ask is that you publicly reply to this message (when you get the file and go through the steps) if: (1) the package sent to you is complete, and; (2) the package provided actually works.

If you leave this thread empty with no reply, you're not cooperating...which is against my spirit of "willing to cooperate". :)

If you would like to install CyanogenMod, there is a highlighted step with a red note, and a red box pointing to the red note. I did that, as it is a VERY important step (specifically, making sure you delete the cache to install CyanogenMod properly, as CM packages do not clear caches from previous installations automatically: it must be done manually by the user).

For reference, I am successful in running CyanogenMod 9.0 (stable).

Happy Flashing!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bklaas:
I'm pleased to say that I've successfully unbricked and flashed the Overcome kernel and 4.1 ROM.

My next step is going all the way to CM9...I'm confused on a few aspects-- First, is it correct to assume that I need to flash to a CM9 kernel before flashing the CM9 ROM?

willing_to_cooperate: if that's the case, that might be the file you forgot to include in your excellent rar archive you sent my way. You really went the extra mile on the instructions btw.

Second, there was a mention earlier in the thread it would be a good idea to go back to stock before moving to CM9. If that's the case, why did I install the Overcome ROM in the first place? Was that a wasted step, considering my end goal was CM9?

cheers,

#!/ben
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
The guide was overcome, that is why overcome ROM was flashed using CWM.

But, actually you don't need that.

You only need to Odin flash the Overcome kernel.

That is it. You don't even need to wait for the robotic voice to complete its thing.

Just force it off.

Then boot to recovery.

use that recovery to flash CM9, twice.

You are kind of right, you need CM9 kernel, but it is done by the first flash

(spot the CWM is different from overcome one, after first flash).

Second flash will install CM9.

Then you flash gapps and reboot.

If you reboot after CM9 without gapps, you can still flash gapps later, but you won't get the setup wizard (the one that ask you to set up wifi, put gmail id, choose to use gmail to backup, bla bla)

So just remember, in the future, restock means Odin flash GB-stock-safe.

Then you will want to Odin flash the Overcome kernel because that is the easiest way to install CWM.

From there it is flashing from CWM.

Full success thanks to this thread

I am 100% up and running with CM9 on my SGH-T849 (T-Mobile branded original 7" Galaxy Tab), thanks to the excellent help from willing_to_cooperate and priyana.

FYI, 2 biggest roadblocks to getting this completed were:

1. Inability to find the necessary files because of broken links, downloads found on sites blocked as malware, etc. [SOLVED] by willing_to_cooperate and him putting together an awesome .rar archive of all necessary files, including a critical annotation in the Overcome guide PDF that told me about the necessary step of wiping cache when flashing CM9

2. Inability to find well-written or even correct information about what to do. As a gadget hobbyist, I have been doing Linux stuff for almost a decade. That community tends to be very sharp and focused to task. The android mod community is quite a bit different I'm finding out-- for every thread with good discussion points there are 25 that say "How do I tweak teh andrd better so I can show everyone how kewl I am". I will concede that this just comes with the territory. Someone tweaking their stock T-mobile phone is quite a bit different than someone installing Ubuntu on a laptop. Nevertheless, [SOLVED] again by willing_to_cooperate and priyana on this thread. Kudos to both of you.

For the record, though I jumped through a few more hoops than was required, these were the steps from getting to "soft-bricked" Galaxy Tab SGH-T849 to fully running CM9 w/gapps.

1. Follow Overcome guide documentation to restock stable Gingerbread

2. Follow Overcome guide to flash Overcome kernel 4.0.0 using Odin

3. Boot and connect Tab as USB storage device

4. Copy CM9 and gapps zip files to mounted Tab (which is the internal SD card)

5. Boot into recovery mode (clockwork mod, which was installed in step 2)

6. Wipe flash/cache through Clockwork Mod

7. Install CM9 and gapps through Clockwork Mod

8. Boot and rejoice in the CM9 awesomeness

cheers,

#!/ben
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willing_to_cooperate:
For the record (as you already have CM9 working on your tablet), I did not include CyanogenMod (CM) releases in the package that I sent to you.

The reason I didn't do that is that the CM ROMs are always updating, and it is easier for the user to find the correct and safest location to download the plain CM ROM files.

For those wondering what address I'm referring to:

http://get.cm/?device=p1 "p1" is the code name for the device.

To clarify, the package that I sent is what I used to get my tablet out of stock (T-Mobile) via Overcome, then updating to CM9.0.

You can select stable, release candidate (RC) or nightly from the menu on the left-hand side. If you are just starting, I would strongly suggest you use the most recent stable ROM for your device (that way, you minimize the risk of using a ROM that may still have bugs).

Good to hear of success relating to your device.

To other people that need the package that I sent to bklass (as you cannot find all the files required due to possible broken links that may happen now or in the future), please PM me and refer to this thread.

I will try to re-write the Overcome guide on a long-term "to-do list" that will clearly delimit what point is restocking, and what point is flashing with another ROM. That, or updating the relevant CM wiki page with proper steps. That way, there is no need to search for a PDF or picture file with relevant steps, just refer to the proper steps in the CM wiki link.

When I rewrite the guide, I'll make sure to include files that are required, with relevant MD5 hashes appended.

Hi! :) Do you still have that RAR file? I followed the steps at the cyanogenmod site and ended up with the same t-mobile image.

I can still connect to my phone typing "adb shell" on the terminal, and execute commands there, but I do not know how to bring it back to life.

If you're using terminology like shell, I'll assume your on a *nix system.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willing_to_cooperate:
Hi Holykotar,

Hmm... Let me troubleshoot. I'll be approaching your problem from a "cross-examination/troubleshooting" perspective. Please answer all the questions below:

1) Are you having a bootloop? That is, tablet boots up, goes to a logo, then repeats until you get bored?

If you can, it may be wise to enter recovery, delete all caches, and re-start the tablet.

The first time I tried going through the steps, I had a bootloop as the caches were incompatible with the ROM. This may be your case, but it is difficult to determine with the limited information that you have provided me.

Therefore, as stated, I would start off by going into recovery, and deleting all caches. If that works, let me know.

2) What version of ODIN are you using?

Later versions may be incompatible. I used Odin3 v1.7 with success on Windows 7 Ultimate. Also, it could be an issue of not starting ODIN with administrative privileges.

3) What OS are you using?

This may seem silly, but good information for people reading this thread. As stated, I used Windows 7 Ultimate.

4) Have you installed the required computer drivers so the tablet is successfully recognized by the computer?

This would fix some interface issues. If the software (ODIN) can't communicate with the tablet (GT-P1000), then it may be a driver issue.

5) What guide are you using? Better yet, do you have all the required files?

If you are using the guide entitled: "The Overcome Experience" (I have it as a PDF), then there shouldn't be any problems. However, if you are having issues with a proper guide, PM me and I will send you a link to download all necessary files to flash the GT-P1000 (T-Mobile version) without any problems. I request that you PM me for the files, as I don't want the download link distributed (as my bandwidth is fast but limited).

Happy Flashing :laugh:
