Hello, and thank you for the response-

Surething, sorry for not including it to begin with!

Breif: The tablet came pre-loaded with android 3.x and after a little while of owning it, I had a friend (who no longer lives near me sadly) who understands this stuff more come on XDA here and had someone help him to a ICS install. As far as I know, the device is not rooted, just running a new OS.

Model: Samsung G. tab 7.0 Plus 16gb wifi only - GT-P6210MA

Android Version: 4.1.2

Kernal Version: 3.0.31-1177839

se.infra@SEP-121 #3

SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 30

KST 2013

Build Number: JZO54K.P6210XXMD3

Recovery option (took me a second to figure out what you meant) is yes the stock 3e setting. I have NOT wiped anything, only attempted to run two different ROMs (cm-11 and the omni 4.4.2) along with root_original, and root.zip when the first one failed as well (both files were found on the provided links above).

I am not familiar with the rest you have mentioned, but I would bet google search could tell me something. However, it does leave me with a question- What "signature" should I be changing this to in order for it to work? can I find that info within the ROM file(s)?

Thank you

From what I am gathering so far, I will need to unlock the bootloader and root the device first before I can attempt to install a different recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Grumbles:
ALLLLLRIGHT!

So I got everything loaded and working, now its a matter of finding a stable ROM. Unfortunately, the Carbon, Slim, and Omni are unstable, to completely unusable :(

For now I have CM-11 up and running oK, but as others have reported. Google play services are shot, so no maps, music, gmail, etc. Not a deal breaker, but sad none the less.

My final mission will be to try a couple JB roms (if I can find one with an alive link) and see what happens there! ill keep you informed if I brick it along the way :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] daniel_hk:
It is 7:30am. Good morning everybody!

I seldom answer questions like how to flash or what is recovery in this forum. Doesn't mean I don't want to help. I answer every PM if possible. I just want you guys to find it yourself. I think it is part of the fun and the right path of learning. This is a development forum. The right place would be General (Q & A) and tons of similar info. are there.

I answered you earlier because I'm afraid you might brick your tab in the stock 3e recovery. HC3.2 is safe but ICS and JB are not.

Nowadays, everyone want immediate result and want to skip as many step as possible. I sometime don't read threads too! When come across problem it would be the time you fill the missing steps. Read the posts carefully first. Most of the time you would get your answer. If you have hard time, it is normally that you haven't read carefully the posts. :cyclops:

Nobody know everything. There are still too many things that I need to learn everyday. When I was a probie, I took days to read before act. And yet, I bricked my tab. Luckly, it was in warranty. Samsung kept silence and replace the board for me. I found out later that was their fault to use faulty chips. That's why I don't want anyone fall into the trap. It was a painful and frustrated experience. :(

You are quite clever and you may figure it out in hours but those missing steps may mislead your perspective. Unstable? may be. Unusable? may be. I don't mind any comments, even if they are mean and negative. But frankly speaking, you don't have the experience to judge yet.:)

You can't wipe in the stock 3e recovery doesn't mean you don't need wiping. Wiping in custom recovery is safe and normally you do need a factory reset (wipe data and cache) after flashing.

You might have read a few word in the posts and drew your own picture. Read again carefully. Custom roms normally don't come with gapps like stock or cook roms.

Figure it out yourself if you are interested.

Good luck! ;)

After flashing this rom, full wipe, it shows that I have only 3GB free, I haven't downloaded any apps, any solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Grumbles:
Hello and good morning to you!

I do appreciate you giving me the few pointers for sure, and I am sure I probably missed a step along they way too! Sadly what I posted is all that I was really able to find (that and my tablet seems to be a unpopular one when compared to the others). However I NEVER wanted the instant satisfaction button from you/other people- I do want to learn this, and if I came off that way I apologize. Trust me, I am in the tech field for a living, and when dealing clients/co workers- I get it.

I can say that up until reading this, I did NOT do any data wiping out of fear of bricking my tab like you had mentioned earlier. Everything seemed ok, then my tab decided to go into endless reboot mode at random. - Back to square one! oh boy!

Cleaver? eh I have my moments, wouldn't go too far past that. Though I think you and I may have gotten off on the wrong foot with the past couple comments. When I said unstable, I just mean I cant use the tablet for any period of time before it would either freeze/lag, the apps button wasnt working on a couple attempts. When said not usable, mainly it was cause I honestly couldn't unlock the tab at all without android.sys/core stopped working, along with a few others (the tab is pretty locked up at that point and I have to do a manual/force reboot). Again, I could very well have missed a step somewhere that could remedy this fast- I have yet to stumble on it is all. To possibly my model variation/revision being a little different than maybe what you are working with on your end?

Certainly, I did not mean to come off saying your ROM sucks, if thats the message you got. Definitely not the case- Mostly they all look great and is now the main reason(rather than just wanting a refresh OS) that I want to learn this. ROMs aside, as I can adapt to learn more from you guys. I maybe able to help and provide feedback/bug reports later. If you care to know details as for which ROM was doing what, please PM me, and let me know the basic template and Id be happy to fill out what I can.

As for now, its back to the drawing board to attempt to fix my reboot loop!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zombiezoom:
This ROM is ROCK stable, you didn't wipe date/factory reset using the custom recovery and that's why it was misbehaving with you.

To fix the boot loop, you gotta wipe data/factory reset using CWM or TWRP and install the .zip that contains the latest build. IF that didn't work for you, then you gonna need to install a stock ROM via ODIN then install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), wipe data/factory reset and install the latest zip
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Grumbles:
Hello and thank you Mr. Zombie!

I didnt actually wipe anything until this AM, which seemed to help alot actually. So far, the Slimkat ROM out of the couple I have stored on the SD card seems to be working the best for me. However, this is only after I have done the wipe this AM. Yesterday, this same rom kept crashing its .core and other small services. - so much to learn, I wish I knew someone local to bother and read over their shoulder rather than being blind all the time.

For the sake of learning though, now that I feel I got it down- I am going to try your suggested steps, see how I come out :)

thanks again for the pointers, it really does help alot. Ill report back later :)

Edit: now that I feel I got THE BARE BASICS down- I am going to try your suggested steps, see how I come out :)

To elaborate a little better regarding the wipe: I did NOT wipe/reset anything while under the Stock ROM and recovery manager. Even during the first failed attempts to flash/root the device. Same rule applied (out of fear of bricking my tab per. Daniel's warning) when I first loaded CWM6. At that point is when/where all my stability issues were happening. Whats strange about it (to me anyway) was the fact that CM-11 was running ok for majority of the day, and just randomly started its reboot loop hours after the flash, PRE wiping/resetting the device.

After reading Daniels response:

"You can't wipe in the stock 3e recovery doesn't mean you don't need wiping. Wiping in custom recovery is safe and normally you do need a factory reset (wipe data and cache) after flashing"

That is when I booted back into CWM6's recovery mode and did a data wipe, and woolah! Slimkat works great (where I could barely use the UI before). CM-11 stopped it re-boot loop instantly (I was playing with the two sine they are on the SDcard). I want to go back and re-try the other ROMs and see how my results differ. I am re-loading back to Stock JB currently and want to take a cleaner approach now that I know the steps better. Figuring my options are Slimkat, Omni, CM, and give Carbon- Its only fair I test them all :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zombiezoom:
You can call me Hassan! :)

You don't have to go back to stock if it's already stabilized after the reset, but if that suits you, it's fine.

I can tell you that SlimROM is the most stable one and Omni is next in line. The last one in line will be Carbon :/

Daniel was thinking about dropping Carbon but it has amazing features and I've given him help as much as I can, I hope he'd come with a fix for it.

Good luck

Only if it can read my exsdcard and mount it right then i would have continued using it. Can anyone help me resolve this issue

it is fat32 format already.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] manxam:
Daniel, thank you for your continued support on this "Old" tablet (though it's basically the same specs as the current Galaxy Tab 3). I really appreciate all that you've done to ensure that we have a modern, and stable, build for this device.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zombiezoom:
You mean with apps like Gallery?

Are you able to browse your ext card thorugh the file manage included?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mohawahba:
Yea apps like gallery and music. Plus app like ( app backup & restore) doesn't mount the external sd.. Which is sad.

Another problem appeared by daily use which is while transferring data (copy and paste) the process fails and i have to restart the device to resume the transfer... (transfer from/to ex sd and internal)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zombiezoom:
Yeah, well as I told you before you gotta use Titanium Backup. There's no solution for this problem anyway.

Stock browser exhibits tearing during rotation; not exhibited with Firefox or Aurora.

This is waay excellent. Will test further and report. Thank you!

SlimKAT 6.2 Working BUT

Stock 3MP camera works

Camera FX works

Pro Capture Camera works

Gallery thumbnails are distorted with certain cameras but picture is okay.

Stock CPU setting is overclocked by default (dangerous)

Set CPU for Root works and can reset maximum to default 1200 setting at boot.

Accessing external sdcard via any Explorer or FileManager can be frightening. At one time, entire OS froze, pressing power button activated Power menu. I pressed Back soft button and was locked out; panic-stricken (fearing battery need for disassembly), I was able to reboot system with Power + Volume Up keys. This can be catastrophic and makes the build a deal-breaker for newbies. However, I am determined to get it working and suspect a combination of system settings, tweaks, mods and patches will make the system dependable for daily use.
