Three questions:

Where do I get the cm9?

How do I cut and paste to the GT?

What is the zergrush method for the root?

Thanks, again!

Kindest regards...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
questions

You can get cm9 and all the other roms for our tab in the android development forum. Go up one level from this forum and you'll see all the 8.9 forums, one of them will be android development.

Cutting and pasting it depends on whether or not you have a working rom on there now. If you do, then just turn on your tab and connect it to your computer via usb. It should be recognized by the comp and you can open a folder to view files. If you don't have a working rom (if you can't turn the tab on normally and have it boot up) then you will have to use adb. It can be a little tedious to set up, but once it's done, it will help you.

zergrush is a method for obtaining root. If you are going to install a custom rom, you won't need to worry about it, as almost all of them come pre-rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] BlackCl0udMY:
Yup, to get it just use the search box key in model n cm9
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Golf Educator:
Sorry, I seem to be in a stand-still...

First of all: Is the cm9 rom you mentioned, this file: cm-9-20120902-unofficial-p5? If so I downloaded it to my desktop.

Now, I don't know how to get it to my GT. I plugged my Samsonite cable to the PC and to the GT and get this message: "Hardware Id Missing..." and nothing happens.

I tried loading Kies from the GT and it connects, but when I try to import the file I get the following message: "Has a file format that can't be played on GT-P7300"

Sorry to be such a pain!

Golf Educator :(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
No pain, I'm looking to help people. That is the most current cm9 from kallt_kaffe. Try an app called airdroid from the play store. It's great for wireless file transfers. Just install the app and it will tell you what to type into your pc's browser. Instructions are easy to follow. Once you get the tab and the pc linked via airdroid, click on the files icon in your pc browser, then click upload. You can drag and drop, or select files to upload.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Golf Educator:
It worked!!

I was able to transfer the cm9 to the GT SD Directory...

What a great program... Thanks!

When I looked back at BlackCl0udMY's great set of directions I noticed he said I should also load a gapps.zip to the GT.

I remembered previously loading these two files that I saved:

cm-10-20120804-Unofficial-p5

gapps-jb-2012076-signed

Should I load the cm-10, possibly a more recent file instead of using the cm-9? Does the gapps file match it the cm-10 file? What do you think? I don't want to play with the wrong files! I keep thinking "Brick!" in the back of my mind.

I'm getting really excited, now, as I can see light at the end of the tunnel!!

Appreciate all of your assistance...

Regards

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
You just need to match the gapps that go with the android version of the rom you're using. CM10 is based on jb, so you'd use the jb gapps. For cm9, you need the ics gapps. Sorry I can't post a link to them, but in general the thread for the rom should have a link to the appropriate gapps.

You can absolutely use that cm10 and those gapps if you want, but there's a newer version of cm10 from last month. Once you figure this stuff out, you're gonna want to flash all of the roms, just to try them.

Keep it up, you're almost there!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Did you get it?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] BlackCl0udMY:
Man, i just love this moment! :victory::victory::victory:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Golf Educator:
Sorry, it didn't work... Any ideas out there?

I was able to load a cm10 and apps into the GT SD Card Directory.

I was able use the Recovery Mode.

I wiped the data/factory reset and confirmed it.

I went to advanced and wiped the Dalvik cache.

I went back and chose the Install cm10.zip and confirmed it. It appeared to be going well, but shortly some errors came up with the cm-10.zip (Status 7) and it said that the Installation was aborted.

I tried another cm-10 version and the same thing happened!!

I guess I'm just not living right... :crying:

I'm at a loss at this point...

Should I just wait for the official ICS to arrive?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
What version of cwm do you have installed? For some of the jb roms they recommend kallt_kaffe's cwm 6.0.0.8 alternate:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435868

DO NOT install the one from the first post, scroll down to the second post and download the recovery for your tab.

You'll have to flash that through odin as you did before.

I swear, you're almost there. It's gonna work.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Golf Educator:
Thanks for the encouragement... I need it!

Previously, I used the clockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar from androidjinn.com to get my CWM...

How do I get the .tar file from the cwm 6.0.0.8.zip file? Do I need to be rooted?

Thanks, again!

Golf Educator
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Oh, is it a .zip? Just flash it from your current cwm, then reboot recovery. Sorry
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Golf Educator:
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

I've done it! I've done it!

Flashing another CWM did it! You were right, upconvert , CWM 5.5.0.4 wasn't good enough... I used 6.0.0.8. And, thanks for the encouragement!

I flashed it as you suggested, as it was a zip file, and then went through BlackCl0udMY's step by step procedure flashing a jb ROM, and it worked!!

It only took me over a month to get another system on it. I'm glad I selected jb as it really looks like a great system. It appears to be working okay, except for no g3 connection and even though the phone looks like it should work, I'm not able to get it to work. A BEAUTIFUL SYSTEM! It was worth it!

Big thanks to you, upconvert, and to BlackCl0udMY'!!!

As there may have been followers to this thread, let me close it by adding how I got it to work...

First of all, I didn't have a stuck Recovery, somehow I erased my CWM program. When I used Odin to flash a new CWM my original Honey Comb system worked, and the Recovery program also worked. At that point I was in business! I used CWM 5.5.0.4. but suggest using at least CWM 6.0.0.8 for jb and to flash CM-10-20121111-unofficial-p5 matched with gapps-jb-20120716. That combination seemed to work okay for me, at least to this point.

Good luck!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
That's great news! Enjoy your new rom. Also, are you sure you got the rom for the p7300 (3g) and not the P7310 (wifi only). Now that you have your recovery working, you can check out all the other roms. If you make a nandroid backup in recovery, you can switch back to your old roms so easily. Stuff made for the wifi only version will work on yours, you just won't be able to use 3g or make calls etc...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] BlackCl0udMY:
HAHAHA WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! congrats to you man! you did it!!!!

have fun!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Golf Educator:
I know where you're coming from upconvert but I was carefull to only load P7300 programs, but I read that jb was having problems with 3G, so I was ready for it. In addition, the original Galaxy Tab had a phone in it, but the GT-8.9 did not, so, I really wasn't expecting it to work at this time. I guess they will work eventually.

Have a nice holiday!

I had to go back to stock ICS anyway, so I re rooted while there, then installed OTA Rootkeeper and backed up. DL OTA JB and boom! Root was verified. I haven't tried EZ Unlock yet. A little shaky since the soft brick which started all this mess to begin with :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Outlaw621:
You must have root to do this. Using a file explorer Navigate to cache/recovery/latest_log. It should show you the error that is preventing the upgrade. All to often we end up changing a file and forgetting about it but that changed file will prevent the update from completing.

If you still have root, navigate to and read the last_log file located in /cache/recovery/last_log and see if it tells you what is causing it to hangup.

that is the bottom of the last_log file where it failed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Outlaw621:
You may have to perform a factory reset to complete the OTA. Its not often but sometimes something gets a little messed up for whatever reason. The other option you have is to install the JB leak from one of the below threads. After all, it is the exact same as the OTA upgrade so you should be able to get all future OTA upgrades.

Thanks OP. I actually installed this software before performing the OTA, and it worked as expected. I got root in 4.0.4, performed the SU backup in this app, applied the OTA, and it had lost root (as expected) but RootKeeper brought it back with the SU backup it made...

EDIT: Just wanted to note that this process does cause the "custom" indicator to appear upon reboot. The phone boots through, but it seems the bootloader senses the change.

Should I care about this custom indication?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ImgBurn:
Why use OTA Rootkeeper when root protection feature is included in Superuser and SuperSU.:confused:

.

supercurio stated back in June 2012

Maybe that's why its not working for some?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Joey22688:
the description is poorly worded, from what I gather both superuser and supersu both have ota protection, then what is the paoint of this app?

but more to the point alot of people have said ota rootkeeper has worked for them so I dont think that is the problem

Im using superuser, has anyone else where ota keeper worked using supersu?

supposedly triangle away will get rid of it, mine had it too after rooting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zedocus16:
I don't think so, Triangle Away is just for the flash count... even with a zero flash count you can still have the custom lock. It really causes no issues, other than it's kind of ugly. To get rid of it you could flash completely back to stock, and I think there is a certain app you have to freeze as soon as you root to make it not come back. OR, just unlock the bootloader.

I still don't know why everyone is messing with the OTA, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 Is exactly the same as the OTA and gives you root and an unlocked bootloader. Takes about 10 minutes including the Odin processing time.

Edit:

you can also do this to get an unlocked bootloader/root in case you forgot to do Root Keeper, or for some reason don't want to do the abovehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BigErnM:
That means your bootloader is locked. It will make a difference if you are trying to install any custom recovery or custom ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PolarBearMI:
So I have superuser 3.1.3 installed via GS3DebugFSRoot: Root the Verizon GSIII without flashing.

Do I need OTA Root Keeper ? or should I just use the "ota survival" option within superuser 3.1.3 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Outlaw621:
OTA Root Keeper is good to use with superuser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwinn8:
I'm messing with the OTA because it saves me from having to reinstall stuff every time a rom is updated. Coming from my og DROID, I wasted far too much time getting back to normal with each rom update.

In other words, with the OTA, I can simply apply updates each time, and not have to reinstall apps and logins and data all the time. I don't believe you can do that with a custom rom, can you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HeadlessPonch:
Tried using just the ota survival from superuser on my wife's s3 2 days ago and lost root. Luckily she doesn't do anything on the phone that needs root, except that I guess there will be no more adaway updates for a while. Both of our phones were rooted using the GS3DebugFSRoot method. I've installed Root Keeper in case they push the update on me in the middle of the night, but I'm going to hold off on manually updating for now. I'm reading about too many issues, although my wife's phone seems to be doing alright.

I am running the 11/14 AOKP & CM10 Remix from SGA and I keep running into this issue. I can't update or install apps because it says "Insufficient Space." I read about using ACMEinstaller3 to increase the system partition space. This has not helped and this issue keeps coming up.

I haven't had this problem, but here's what I'd do :

Back up your user apps with titanium (I use the paid version, don't know if the free version will do this batch procedure). Run acmeuninstaller to get rid of android. Install whichever flavor of Android you want using ACMEinstaller3. There are several good how-to's here in the forum. Once you have android installed, restore your user apps with titanium. You should now be ok.

Install the latest version of the rom you use ; there has been lots of improvements. Also upgrade your recovery to jcsullins' latest cwm. You can find it in the development section.

Good luck.
