[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Lt.col.johncross:
This is for someone who has a stock unrooted galaxy tab 7.7

This should be a full proof method of installing "first" a custom recovery and "second" a custom Kit kat rom.

Download all your files first.

1. Here is the link to Odin 3.07 -

https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEqmNw0ERcW4K3UlFV7WKUotUiStw

When you go to this link it will give you the choice to open or save the file - I always download the file then extract it to a folder on my desktop named Odin.

2. Here is the link to TWRP v.2.7.1.0 -

When you go to this link you will need to select the download option on the page. A ten second timer will count down and then give you a few options to download from. Just select the first one for your download.

3. Here is the link for your selected rom -

When you go to this link you will need to select the download option on the page. It will give you the choice to open or save the file - SAVE is what you do.

4. Here is the link to the gapps file you will need.

Again select download and choose to save.

We now have the four files we need to install this custom rom. Please copy the files from steps 3 and 4 to a micro sd card. Place the card into your tablet.

Time to INSTALL!!!

1. If you have not already - unzip the first file "Odin 3.07" to a folder on your desktop PC.

2. Press and hold the volume down and power button together and hold until a screen appears (other then a battery display or SAMSUNG) then let go of both. The screen should say something like "Warning!! A custom OS blah blah .. it will also say "Volume up: Continue".

3. Press the volume up choice. The screen should change to the little android and say downloading. This is known as "odin mode" and also referred to as "downloading mode" .

4. Now plug in the tablet transfer cable to the tablet and the PC. Open the Odin folder and double click the Odin3 v3.07 executable. Give the program permission to open if needed. Once open, Look for id:com - right above that you should see something like 0:[COM6](it might be another number then 6 this is all Good). If you do see this then you know you are connected.

In the option area you will see two options selected. Deselect Auto reboot leaving F. Reset Time the only one selected. To the right of this click the PDA button. This is where you will select the "TRWP v.2.7.1.0" file you downloaded on step 2. Once you select the twrp file, and you press open, the option for PDA will now have a check mark next to it. Now you can Press Start and let it run till you see "RESET!" at the top left of the Odin window and also you will see RES OK! in the message area (bottom left).

5. Disconnect the tablet from the transfer cable. Now Press the Power and Volume Up buttons together until you see the TEAMWIN window - release the buttons. This will take you into your newly installed twrp custom recovery. If the screen goes black while using the software, just touch it to wake.

6. Select WIPE

7. Select Format Data - type yes and press return on the keyboard - when it is done formatting choose the house icon to go back to the home screen.

8. Select Install - Navigate to your external sdcard and select the Carbon rom you downloaded in step 3.

9. Now select "add a zip" and choose the GAPPS file we downloaded in step 4.

10. Now use the "Swipe to Start" and allow the 2 files to install. When they finish you will have three choices.

11. First select wipe on the left - when it finishes select reboot.

Give it some time and you will eventually get to your carbon setup screen.
