Download the rooted stock or deodex version, copy to root of ur tab. Open rom manager, select install rom. After that it's pretty much self explanatory.

thanks.. i'll read up and try it out..
i assume since it is rooted that you already have clockwork recovery installed.
hold power and vol down to boot into recovery
select wipe cache/factory restore
select install from zip
select the rom i showed you
reboot!
you must put the rom in the root of your tab first
use androzip to move it there

sorry but still a newbie here and i might get annoying to some peeps here but just very cautious on how this would work. so i'm going to ask question
factory restore - does this mean i'm going a clean up and unrooting my device? from the steps above? is the end product going to have the touchwiz update or is this the touchwiz update with a email sync problem? where does the touchwiz update happen? i didn't see that step above?
lastly.. is there a video i watch to see this in action.
galaxytabhacks.com is a bit slow on updating their video's on how to update a rooted GT 10.1 with touchwiz update...
thank you all for the current post and i'm sure that there are many users here that will appreciate this information.. (for all you do please post and cheer on the peeps that helped us out).
how did you root your device?
if you follow those directions you will have the latest tw rom rooted

almost confident
ok.. so go to clockwork recovery - i know how with that two options (icons by pressing those buttons)
make a backup - don't know how?
factory reset - i'll read up
install zip from sdcard - done it before
install - if i find it i'll select install
reboot - hopefully
so how does the backup work - any steps.. where can i find that option. thanks again for all these information..
in the main clockword recovery menu select back up and restore ...select backup
these are all in the main menu of cwr... dont worry about the wipe/factory restore just select it and do it.....make sure you put the new rom in the root of your tab first. just like you did with the root.zip when you rooted
put the new rom zip in your tab
boot into cwr
make a back up
do a wipe/factory restore
select install from zip
select choose zip
select the rom zip you downloaded and put in the root of your tab
install
reboot
this is from the first link i gave you
Here is the clockwork mod menu
- Reboot system now (self explanatory )
- Apply update from SDcard. (when you connect your device to your computer it will show up as tablet. The SDcard that cwm refers to is simply your device storage. Always make sure to copy install.zips to the root directory of your tablet storage.) You use this when applying an update for a specific ROM if that is what the ROM developer says.
- Wipe Data/ Factory Reset You should always do this before you install a new ROM or if you are having minor issues with your device.
- Wipe cache partition Think of this as the lite version of whats above . If you do above though it doesn't hurt to do this too.
- Install zip from SDcard Use this to install new ROMs.
- Back up and Restore
- Mounts and Storage use this to connect your device to your computer when in recovery mode. It is also possible to transfer files to your device while in this mode.
- Advanced What you are interested in here is something called dalvik cache, you want to wipe this too before installing any new ROM
- Power off
this is the main menu of clockwork recovery
backupand restore...wipedata/factory reset...install zip reboot are all on this menu

Need some help as well.
My io tab went into that infinity loop so I flash it by fast boot, but then accidentally rooted it? i guess, as I see the superuser icon.
How do I get it back to stock. I have no backup with it at all....and don't know what is happening.
I just want a normal machine that can update to touchwiz officially. thanks
krbernier, thanks for the help!
Alright so I am currently on the most current MIUI with CM7 kernel on my vibrant but I want to replace this rom with simply stock JVT 2.3.5. But when I try flashing it I get a bootloop. I looked it up and apperently I need either the talon or bullet kernal but preferably bullet. So how exactly Do i do this? I won't pretend I know what I'm talking about because I don't :x so please be as precise as you possibly can with the steps. Please, I'm easily confused :x
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
You have to ODIN back to stock as CM7 & MIUI use a different partitioning than Regular Gingerbread or Froyo.
So..
ODIN back to stock, root, flash custom recovery, flash rom, bam.
Plus if needed here is a guide to go back on going back to stock eclair... http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106
OK but here's the thing... I didn't root my phone the first time so I don't know how to reroot it and I remember the Instructions for simply stock said if I am installing from an eclair or froyo rom I have to use the small version, then medium version and finally full version... but there is only 1 file soooo.. again I'm lost x.x

1) Odin to stock(make sure you take out your sim card and you micro sd card)
2) root
3) install rom manager from market
4) install CWM from rom manager
5) wipe factory reset/cache from CWM
6) flash simple jvt rom
GOOD LUCK
Not quite sure what you mean by small version, medium version, and full version. But if you need help getting you phone rooted after returning to stock then follow these instructions straight from the noob guide posted by s15274n...
GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?
You are likely still connected to your PC and booted up to the T-Mobile jingle. Great, drop the notification bar down and mount your phone...
HERE ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW....
BUT FIRST... WHAT UPDATE.ZIP FILE DO YOU NEED?
There are two options here. Choose before you start.
A – an update.zip (633KB) that roots your phone only. You can then install Rom Manager from the Market to flash CWR (Clockwork Recovery) and install custom ROMs. There have been issues with CWR not flashing properly recently (June 2011), hence Option B.
B – use the other update.zip (1.7MB) and this will flash CWR for you – allowing you to immediately flash a custom ROM.. I do this because it's faster.
So, A or B?
1.
A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.
B: Download this update.zip file to flash CWR... you will need to flash a custom ROM for Root. I prefer this method.
Also, download the ROM you plan to flash (assuming you are not sticking on JFD – why would you).
LINK TO THE DEV SECTION
2. Copy the update.zip (and the ROM) to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card). sdcard/
3. Unplug the USB (assuming you are still connected after using ODIN)...
Hold down volume up + volume down + Power for about 9 seconds.
If you prefer, you can power off your phone, then hold in all 3 buttons to boot into recovery, I don't see the point in waiting for the phone to power off.
This will get you to a recovery menu (blue/purple text) after some yellow text.
4. In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'
Use volume to navigate + power to select.
5. It will cycle a bit, you will see that yellow text again, then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again.
You are now in CWR (clockwork recovery).
You can either reboot, flash your new ROM or make a backup now... I COVER HOW TO FLASH ROMS LATER – JUST KEEP READIN BELOW
Yeah, it is that easy!!

Also, once you're on stock and rooted just flash the rom like normal...
1) Boot into recovery (Volumes + Power)
2) Do a factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik (in Advanced Menu)
3) Then go to "install zip from sd card" > "choose zip from sd card" > Select the rom.
4) Reboot and you should be good to go.

This is the "Large" - http://www.multiupload.com/WWYGBJAS10
****Both "medium" & "large" are basically the same one with more apps and such than the other****
Simply Stock JVT
http://www.multiupload.com/5GM8SQPTQJ
- Flash the "small" first
- Choose either "medium" OR "large" and flash
- Finish with Simply Stock flash
Of course do the normal clearing of settings and allow time for ROM to settle between flashes.
Good luck!
The small/medium basically is the old school of aquiring gb bootload. If you wanna go there, the dev sec has odin flashable backward compatible boots. there safer but i never trusted gb. bootload bricks a permenant.
hi folks!
i need help flashing cyanogenmod 9.1.0 that i found here
i've looked for instructions here but they still sound hard to follow. another confusing part is the kernel..one guide says flash kernel first the other said do that last, heck were like fishing here mate..if someone can give me a more detailed step on how to do it that would really be great., as you can see im virtualy a noob.. only got as far as rooting my phone, even that i'm not sure if i did it right but it works anyway lol
thanks!
Device: LT26i
Android version: 2.3.7
Build: 6.0.A.3.7.6
What i've always done:
(0). If you want, you should make a backup of your apps.
1. Download the CyanogenMod file and if you want the latest gapps (Google apps) for ICS (when using CM9). These can be found here.
2. Make sure the (both) zip file(s) are on your phone.
3. Extract the boot.img file from the zip you've downloaded.
4. Flash this file using fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. Reboot you device, and go into recovery by pressing the volume-up button when the LED goes on.
6. In recovery, do a factory reset and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Also format system.
7. Now, still in recovery, go into "install zip from sdcard" and install the CyanogenMod zip.
8. If you want them, now install the gapps.
9. Reboot and enjoy
@TiesB
now thats somethng different again, or maybe you've just missed out the kernel part.,you also didnt mention downloading a recovery, is that because your method requires connection to a computer..not really sure what recoveries are for ie cw, doom, etc..
another one i want to verify, does installing this rom actually make my android version ICS or it just makes it look like one.,
Thats because when you fastboot it will get you in a recovery of cm9.1 then when you have fully installed the cyanmod you will have the recovery installed or you can go to xperia s dev in the menu and go to advance stock kernel 15 and set the zip and elf file in the sd card flash the ics 15 elf with fastboot and in the recovery install the ics 15zip file and you have a recovery
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yeah, what he says.
In the cm 9.1.0 zip there is a file called "boot.img". This is the file you'll want to flash using fastboot.
And yes, it actually makes your phone running ICS

ok, now how about flashing a custom kernel..
found that step on doomlord's post and another one, but they are in a different order..note that what ive done so far is to root my phone by flashing pre rooted img.,
Hello,
is there any easy way to backup my original factory firmware so after I flash a new ROM and I won't like it I can revert back to what factory gave me?
Best you can do is root your phone, and do a nandroid backup in CWRecovery before doing anything else to the phone (flashing a custom rom/kernel/etc). This will give you a 'snapshot' of your stock setup only with root, and all you'd need to do to unroot is flash a stock kernel.
Or you can simply flash a stock rom with Odin over whatever you have at the time.
There's no way to do what you're asking with a stock/unrooted phone.
As mentioned above u can't do it with out rooting. First root your phone without flashing any custom rom or kernel by pasting the zip file in ext sd and apply update using stock recovery. Then download recovery tools from play store and get your temporary cwm touch recovery. After this go to stock recovery and apply this zip. Then do a nandroid backup and reboot after it finishes. You'll have the exact stock rom, kernel and recovery. :good:

I know you guys here don't like such questions, but can I ask for links to that tools? I got S2 Root file but it has to be flashed via Odin. What recovery tools from Play Store? You mean this?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=pl
How can I get "my temporary CWM touch recovery"? What ZIP to apply then? Geez! Am I that stupid or it is just language issue? Hahaha

Dont worry dude. i'll try and explain as much as i can.
1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and choose the Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip or Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip from the attachments.
2. Paste it in your ext sd card and power off.
3. Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update from sdcard and select the SuperSU file.
4. Now reboot your device and it will be successfully rooted and SuperSU will be installed.
5. Download temporary cwm recovery from their website or get it via recovery tools in play store. (link provided by you is correct except for different language i think )
6. Paste cwm.zip it in ext sd and reboot into recovery mode. apply update and you will get temporary cwm recovery.
7. Now you can take backup from it. it will backup all your data and both rom, kernel and even recovery will be stock.
Be careful while flashing roms or kernels though. :good:

Cwm isn't enough... You need custom kernel...and custom kernels come with cwm... So unlock boatloader... Flash kernel... Then Rom will work..

If i cant access the bootloader how the hell can i install the rom? i didnt flash the rom yet im trying to figure out yet how to access the CWM recovery thats what im having trouble right now
then stop trying to figure out thing u cant achieve.
aosp base rom such as cm11 u want to install require flashing custom kernel, the boot.img provided in the rom zip, which in the kernel itself contains cwm recovery.
if u manage to flash it then u will get cwm that came with the kernel.

oh sorry i wasnt understanding that, i thought it didnt have any recovery, ok but now i installed a recovery from some place maybe i have to uninstall it, so im using flashtool , i put my phone in fastboot mode, then i choose select system to flash? Can You explain the steps using flashtool? im new to this tool too. sorry im really new to this roms thing yet..
1- turn off phone
2- hold volume up button and while still holding the volum up, connect usb to phone and pc. led on phone will light ups blue indicating fastboot mode.
3- open flashtool, click on flash button, select fastboot mode, click ok, click select kernel to flash, on dropdown on lower left change to *.img, browse the boot.img, click ok.
4- flashtool main window will give output log of flashing the kernel.
5- remove usb
6- turn on phone
7- while kernel logo appear and led lights up, press volume down repeatedly.
8- phone will now boot into cwm
9- do wipe data/factory reset
10- flash rom
11- flash gapps
12- profit
anyway, why did u want to flash the buggy cm11?
try custom rom based on stock first, or miui, or cm9 or cm10. those roms are stable enough for everyday use.

I have to send the folder cm-11.0-20131225-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-mango.zip and the gapps folder to sd card before i flash kernel right?
yes, both the rom zip and gapps zip need to be in sdcard.
and if i'm not mistaken, cm11 need to repartition system partition due to not enough space in it for the big rom.
probably need to manually format system too before flash, i'm not really sure.
ask in the support thread instead

It Just says This:
WARNING: This ROM uses a modified internal memory layout.
Our /system partition is originally 400MB but this space is not enough for a fluid kitkat experience and a full installation with proper google apps.
Our /cache partition is also too small to fit art-cache when we enable the ART runtime. We originally had 100MB /cache but art-cache needs ~150mb of free space.
I have repartitioned the internal memory layout, giving:
450mb in /system
469,5mb in /data
8mb in /cache
Steps required for correct installation (order is important):
1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery
1.1 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
2: Enter recovery, go to mounts and storage
3: Format /system, then /data and then /cache (Important step!)
4: Flash update zip
5: Flash gapps (recommended package is the one provided in the link below)
Steps 1.1, 2 & 3 are not needed when you install new cm11 nightlies on top of older cm11 builds in the future
If you want to return to a ROM that doesn't use the new partition layout, you need to follow the above steps again (only replace boot.img & update zip with the ones you want to use).
