Thank you!

I was clicking to second (Swype) Option only, because first one (where arrow has to be ticked) gave me hell of warnings (e.g. collecting credit card numbers etc...)

I ticked that dangerous arrow then and now it works perfectly...

I am using free Multilingual keyboard though.

Thanks again.

So again... great, GREAT work overall, I must say.

For the wifi patch, use it only if you have serious problems with your wifi connection.

Rtl patch is for native support of arabic language, if you need it, you can apply it by flashing it from the recovery, same goes for the wifi patch.

Can I directly install CM 10.1 coming from Overcome ROM 4.1?
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Yes.
[Galaxy Tab General] cmugume:
Signature Verification Failed - Overcome Restock failed!

Hello,

I think my problem is close or related to this!

I flashed AOPK ROM on my tab that was working fine, then I wanted to restock the 2.3 and used Odin to flash the ROM and that where everything went wrong!

Now it can't boot because I am unable to install any ROM! When I follow the Overcome directions, everything works perfectly with Odin and on reboot, it tries to install then I get Installation aborted: Signature Verification failed.

When I try rooting it again, everything works fine, I can boot in CWR and select install zip from SD Card (external card) and when the installation starts, I get Error status 6 and sometimes 7!

I am completely stuck here!

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
When you follow overcome direction, you first flash GB stock safe v5.

When reboot it doesn't try to install.

What are you talking about?

Did you manage to restock?
[Galaxy Tab General] cmugume:
Glad you got back to me so fast.

After flashing, it reboots and tries to install then, I get Installation aborted,

E: Signature Verification failed

Since it has no CWR there is no option to disable signature Verification :(
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
curious.

what is it that it tries to install?

It should just boot straight in to android.

Are you saying, you are trying to use stock recovery to install something and get that error? Then obviously you can't. Stock recovery is for samsung to use things that samsung signed.

If that is the case, then obviously it is a wrong thing to do.

You then need to flash overcome kernel 4.0 tar.

then you have CWM, and if you flash something and it failed, then the issue is something else completely.

So please clarify, was that what happened, that you use stock recovery to try to install something?
[Galaxy Tab General] cmugume:
I have no idea what it tries to install.

After flashing with Odin following all the Overcome instructions step by step, it reboots and that's when all that happens.

I am not trying to install anything...

I will take pictures later in the day to show you what I mean.

I have also tried flashing the overcome kernel, it boots up and the robotic voice mentions all the steps it's doing and finally restarts and gets into a non stop boot loop.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
It is most weird. I something think it could be that your internal NAND is failing, but no prove of that.

I am sure no one has ever encountered this before.

Never did a tab, after restock, tried to install something.

I don't know if anyone has any idea on how to debug it. If it were CWM, there is a recovery.log produced. Not sure about 3e.

I would think if you can choose to ignore it, pretend that all goes well (I never reboot my tab right after restock, I force it off, then boot to download mode and proceed with overcome kernel, then again never wait for the voice, just force boot to recovery and flash my AOSP based rom).

So, now that you have CWM, and try to flash , not sure what is error 6.

Error 7 is assert failure. many of post including mine, detailing how to remove the assert (just the few lines) within a zip. (Important not to unpack in windows and rezip as the files are case sensitives, and windows is not).
[Galaxy Tab General] cmugume:
Thanks a lot, let me try that procedure and see how it goes.

Will update you..
[Galaxy Tab General] kamberk:
Thanks!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for this guide, and the overcome rom. My tab feels like brand new, and I love using it again. Thanks for the help!

I first saw your post in Ubuntu Touch WIP thread

And you posted in 3 other threads, which is against forum rule.

Why don't you just tell the truth what have you flashed?
[Galaxy Tab General] fresxcv:
loooool XD

sorry for that

i flashed

overcome stock rom

GB-Stock-Safe-v5
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Ok. Lets go back to real issue.

1)Do you own a P1000, the one for Asia/Europe with a SIM card slot on the side?

2)did you use Odin 3.7 included in the GB stock safe v5?

3)Was the flashing via Odin successful?

If all those are yes, it is hard to understand why you lost your bootloader.

Is your tab still showing any sign of life at all? Any flicker of lights on the capacitive buttons at all. Any boot logo.

If not, have you left it charging on wall charger for much longer time?
[Galaxy Tab General] fresxcv:
yes it is p1000 there is sim inside the tab while flashing

i used the odin that comes with the rom in the zip folder ( odin 1.7)

the flashing was successful

the tab still showing only one sign of life ( after the flashing the all buttons was glowing but the screen is black i wait more than hour but it didn't show any logo

i tried to but it in the charge after few hours of charging ( the screen still black while charging )

the tab play sound of the samsung booting the screen still black while the sound was played

i tried to open the download mode i pressed the buttons then i but the tab in odin

the bar changed to yellow in odin

then i flashed rom with three files ( pda , phone , scs , pit ) odin 1.7

the flashing is successful

after it the capacitive buttons was turned on but screen still black

i dont know that was the problem and how to fix it

He said he was running 2.2, am afraid he had a locked bootloader! Only 2.3 and above have an unlocked bootloader as I remember. Flashing on a locked bootloader may lead to a brick.

[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
I always thought flashing a Samsung ROM with full files (like GB-stock-safe-v5) is ok even if the machine has a locked bootloader.

My theory is that because it is a locked one, it will only take Samsung's ROM. And that the Sbl.bin in the Gb-stock-safe-v5 then replaced the 2.2 locked boot loader.

But anyway, maybe he has just proven that I am wrong.

Then a unbrickable/resurrection mod is the option.
[Galaxy Tab General] sos_sifou:
Well, i don't really remember if it applies to 2.3, but http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071this thread indicate that a signed/protected bootloader won't let you flash anything (check the second post if you do have the same errors).

I assume flashing exactly the same rom (2.2) he had before trying gingerbread will get him a bootable tablet again, then he must use the tool to unlock the bootloader then flash something else as he please.

Note that 2.2 JM6/9/A/C/D/E/F all have the locked bootloader, and so many others...

Thank you to everyone who has made this great guide. A numpty like me needs a step by step back. Is anyone planning to do an updated version for jelly bean, pretty please :) :angel:
[Galaxy Tab General] sos_sifou:
This guide is the reference for flashing any custom ROM, it applies to almost all of them!

The first step is restocking to 2.3.3, which is the most important, then what comes after is the installation of the custom ROM (e.g overcome) which should be the same as described, but with different files of course!

You may need to refer always to the uploader or the cooker thread about a custom ROM, some may have a different procedure.

By the way, we didn't write the guide nor we did make the ROM, I've just re-uploaded the files :D

[Galaxy Tab General] blueginger:
Aah well thanks for your bit though including the speedy reply :)

Okay the good news is that I still have 2.3.3. GB WPJP9..... What I don't know is where's the best place to find the right aka safe files and which step I should then start from? Sorry. I'm really new to all this. Oh and yes my phone is rooted. I managed to get that bit right :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Start with the PDF.

Root is not important, only needed to check if Froyo bootloader is locked. In your GB it is irrelevant.

Root also needed to titanium backup. Bit otherwise, start from page 7 of the pdf.
[Galaxy Tab General] blueginger:
Okay that's great. I've already done the backup. Thank you. I don't have the nadjers to do the rest today because I also use this phone for work and I really don't want to feck it up. I'll try on Thursday when I have more time. Thank you again!

ETA - I just realised I think I still need a safe Jellybean file to update my software too. Any links appreciated! I did try and find it on the Samsung UK site but couldn't see it for looking. I could just have missed it though :-/
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
There is no such thing as safe jellybean for our tab.

Samsung stopped after 2.3.6

You get jellybean from cm10 or 10.1

If you follow this guide to a certain point, you will flash overcome kernel, which gives you cwm recovery.

You use that recovery to flash cm Rom.
[Galaxy Tab General] blueginger:
Hmm okay so if I understand the advantage of CWM to just be around better recovery, is there any point in me doing this? Sorry for the daft question.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Stock recovery is made to do official Samsung thing. You probably use that to flash official Samsung signed update if one ever exist.

To flash any custom Rom, you need custom recovery, be it cwm or twrp recovery or whatever, hence what sos_sifou said in the post you first quoted.
[Galaxy Tab General] blueginger:
Oh! So as I don't need to do any official Samsung things, I guess here's no point in me doing this. :o I was actually just trying to update the software as I thought JB may run a bit smoother and also my camera is lagging so I was hoping JB may help with that as I've tried everything else. Nevermind...... Thanks again for your help.

Hi, Good day. Sir can i ask whats the difference between ur overcome kernel 4.0.0 and the overcome kernel 2.1.6_OCUV on the other thread? and if i flash ur overcome kernel 4.0.0 do i still need to flash the wifi fix and others? i only want the kernel. can u give me full Tutorials on it?
[Galaxy Tab General] devinpatterson:
Priyana have you ever had a problem with calls after flashing? I have the t-mobile tab & am in north america, everything went well with the process, no problems & I used the t-mobile modem. I have 3 out of 4 bars with my sim, but when I call it almost instantly says "call ended" and goes back to my contacts in the dial-er. I didn't see any patches in teh files for this so I'm at a bit of a loss.

I have t-mobile shown correcly under network, mobile is edge, service state is "in service", no roaming, mobile network disconnected (don't want to use data, this is a voice/txt only t-mobile to go sim). I did recieve a sms.

Same behavior on any other dialer apps I install.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
I owned a T849 but I am in Australia, using JPZ modem.

So I don't have call ended issue.

which rom are you using? Overcome 4.1?

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

You can download the tutorial, it is in PDF format.

You can jump to the part that flash overcome kernel only.

But no guarantee it will work without restocking to GB-stock-safe-v5

But restocking only take 1 extra step and a few more minutes, why don't you just follow the guide in full and have it risk free?
[Galaxy Tab General] devinpatterson:
Yes the Overcome 4.1 wipe rom, from Overcome_7_series_v4.1.0_wipe. I'm in the unenviable position of only having 2g for T-mobile's network around here (even though Verizon already has decent 4g lte, and at&t is well on it's way to deploying 4G). So I'm not worried about getting 3G, I'll be happy with 2g & voice.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Ah.. I am getting rusty myself.

Of course, the answer is so obvious.

T-Mobile modem doesn't have voice function. It is meant to give you 3G. I don't know why you get only 2G though, maybe APN settings.

Go get JPZ modem zip and flash in cwm, or use Odin to flash just the modem.bin

JPZ modem gives you voice and 2G
[Galaxy Tab General] devinpatterson:
It's 2G up here because T-mobile hasn't rolled out any 3G infra structure (although to be honest I'm not even sure if it's picking up 2G because I disabled data network, since that t-mobile sim doesn't have a data plan), even though Verizon already has pretty decent 4G lte here....crazy.

Thanks Priyana, I'll flash it and get voice. Then re-stock and hit cm 9. I really appreciate the help.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Remember in cm9 onwards you don't flash a modem.

Simply copy the modem.bin to /radio/modem.bin using root explorer, with system mounted for read-write.
[Galaxy Tab General] devinpatterson:
Flashed it and everything went well. Picking up a signal, and calls are going through just fine :)

Little surprised at the weakness of the signal inside, with t-mobile (bounces between 1 and 0 bars). It's fine outside though (between 2 and 3 bars). I sort of assumed it would have a decent antenna being 3 times the mass of a phone. But I suppose an AT&T MVNO is an option (AT&T's coverage is much, much better here). I'm guessing t-mobile tab's bands overlap, so I could at least get 2g and voice in the U.S. on AT&T's network (since my older feature phones didn't have a problem getting 2g and voice, once they were unlocked)?

I had no idea, thank you for the info, I'm sure it saved me quite a bit of aggravation. Other than restocking do you have any additional advice in re: to hopping over to CM9?

I'v always used XDA's forums for rooting, but never had to do anything even as extensive as flashing before, the resource is invaluable.

Last night though I cut up a samsung usb cable, wired it to a galaxy s3 inductive coil charger (the thin ones, roughly the size of a business card) and popped it into a soft silicon case. It looks great (just need a sticker to cover the back), just has a little bit of a nub or stub sticking about a 1/4 of an inch or less out of the usb port.

I was worried with the larger battery and current draw it would be too weak and take too long to charge, but it's working OK. About 8 minutes per 1% charge with the screen on (85% of my battery usage is screen), and closer to 5 minutes per a 1% charge with the screen off. That seems slow (and probably is compared to AC), but figure a little over 10% per an hour means it charges up from empty over night.

I'm going to try it for a week or two and if everything is working well I'll open up my tab (or more likely put it inside my tab plus 7.0) and put it inside. Assuming I can find a handy spot to tap into the 5v.

A lot of great stuff for this little tablet :good:

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Yeah looks good. t-mobile tab T849 is;

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900

GPRS/EDGE

AT&T is;

850 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G

1900 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G

850 MHz	UMTS/HSPA	3G

1900 MHz	UMTS/HSPA	3G

700 MHz	LTE	4G

1700/2100 MHz(AWS)	LTE	4G

So nice to know I can at least get a better signal from the AT&T towers, even if I can't get anything above 2G on either network, without swapping the modems (and moving to a new location where t-mobile's presence isn't woefully ancient).
[Galaxy Tab General] devinpatterson:
All went well, thanks again for the info and advice :)

noob question

can i flash GB-Stock-Safe-v5 for my non-rooted galaxy tab?

current version 2.3.3 DXJPE
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Of course you can. Root only needed to check froyo bootloader to see if it is locked and to unlock. And to do titanium backup.

In your case you have gingerbread, so no issue with bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab General] daring_guy:
Hi Priyana, I see your name all over this forum and you seem pretty active and knowledgeable on this device.

I have an Indian version of the GT-P1000 and was trying to use ODIN to flash a custom recovery(CWM) in order to update to a newer ROM. I had updated my Tab to GB using Keis method earlier this weekend. However, after an unsuccessful attempt with ODIN, I am not able to boot up the Tab anymore. Every time I connect the tab to the power adapter or to the PC, it shows the battery icon with no animation. If I disconnect the cable and force boot it, it comes and hangs on the Galaxy Tab / Samsung logo screen. I can boot into the Download mode by pressing Power+Vol. Down, but ODIN doesn't recognize it anymore so am not able to use your Override method either.

Please help with any advise. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Actually most of my post are just repeating the same thing over and over again.

I don't know why in some cases Odin didn't detect the device anymore.

I seldom use Odin because I use heimdall in linux. Seems to work all the time and driverless.

My best suggestion is for you to grab a fresh windows XP machine, install it with just the USB driver found in the GB-stock-safe-v5 package, and run Odin.
[Galaxy Tab General] sos_sifou:
I agree with priyana, if you still can access to download mode, you can flash your tab again, but if doesn't show up when hooked to usb, that should be your drivers or you have a low battery, so keep the tab in charger for at least four hours and reinstall Samsung drivers then try flashing it again.

can anyone plz help me..I need to flash CM10.1 from CM9...whatis the best way possible? Any ROM can I flash that will take me directly to CM10.1 and NOT go back to restock?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
If your CM9 is the old one, (I think prior to April/May 2012), it has older MTD layout that make you end up with less /data area and large /system area, then you better restock.

I am not sure if you absolutely need it, it may still run cm10 or cm10.1 without restocking, but you may:

- run out of space for data

- slower system due to the slower movinand where /system sits

Recommendation: RESTOCK.

It took 5min or less.

Hi. Can you elaborate a bit more of the new and old mtd layout? I went from Gingerbread to the latest stable 9.1. Do I have the same problem and need to restock if I want to upgrade to 10.1?
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Latest cm9.1 is OK.

Basically there was a few times when the ROM devs are trying out different partitioning of MTD. kind of like how you partition your hard disk into C, D, E and so on.

Can't elaborate more, but if you have one MTD layout, the installer can't resize it.

But if you restock to BML partition, the installer can convert it to the right MTD size.
