Hi, I've been asking around and have not yet come to a solution.
PROBLEM: Cannot flash any updates because of rainbow issue. Now normally I should just flash bootloaders but I cannot because my phone isn't recognized by Windows 7. I have flashed all USB drivers manually and via kies to no avail. Thus, I cannot ODIN.Please share what knowledge you may have regarding this problem.
FIRM: 2.33
ROM: Simply Honey 3.5 Revolution SGT
Also when I updated to this I had this cwm app that allowed me to flash, but I didn't get it with this load.

use rom manager
You can download Tom manager from the market and flash using it. You can also download sgs kernel flasher to flash back to 2.2 kernel than flash back to a 2.2 rom. You will not have a rainbow on a 2.2 kernel

Hi I was wondering if someone could point me to a fully working miui froyo rom. If there isn't one then can someone port one from the other galaxy phones or from the nexus one. Thanks in advance

You're not going to get any froyo cm or miui roms, only gb. That's just the way it is.
And, GPS doesn't work on froyo cm/miui roms either. Also, all development on froyo cm/miui has ceased across all phones and in their place is the respective gb versions.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The only reason I wanted a froyo build because the gb version installation seems risky and I don't want to Odin or anything. I just want to have a gb rom that doesn't force you to Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
There's plenty of Froyo roms around here to pick from, no MIUI or CM7 though. That ships already sailed for those guys.
EDIT: And you really need to know how to Odin. Even when jumping through Froyo roms eventually you'll have to Odin to clear things up.

The Vibrant CM7 installation is now no more risky than any other rom. Very easy to flash. You can get one of the nightlies and flash through rom manager. I would not go above #8 yet though since those have call audio issues that need to be worked out.

I know how to use Odin but I hate how you have to clear up all the internal storage. I find it easier to just flash it through cwm. Will we still have to flash the bootloaders if and when the official 2.3 release comes to the vibrant
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
What? Odin doesn't touch your internel sdcard nor does it touch your external sdcard.
Also, the froyo cm and miui had way less working, and required some Odin to get it working.
As for 2.3 bootloaders, I'm sure you will have to because after hearing revs dissect the i9k gb roms and source, seems some initialization calls have been moved into the bootloader (i.e. gpu initialization has Ben moved to bootloader)

Hi Guys,
Im currently using CM7 nightly build 20 and noticed that my modem was still in I9100XXKG2
Now i hear the latest modem is KG6 and is supposed to address some battery issues.
How do I go about upgrading it without screwing my custom rom over? Previously before i popped on CM7, Samsung KIES would handle it all for me.
I have a i9100XXKG6.zip with Code file, CSC File, Kernel file, modem file and PIT file
Do I just use Odin in (vol down, home + power) to flash just the modem file and then re-root with superclick?
Thanks!
Easiest way is to use codeworkx radios in rom manager. You can flash that over your existing radio without messing up your CM rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
There is a sticky thread with every radio, download the one you want and flash via odin
Or if you have rom manager premium they are all available via that.
Just so you know, the radio version that's best is very region dependant

Nice swyping. Tee hee.
Based on reviews in Rom manager I went for KG3 over KG6.. No complaints from me..
So I rooted my GS2 and flashed the clockwork kernel using odin. I know that the forums have been saying not to use Rom manager to flash CW.
I know that I have working CWM on my phone.
My question is, does that only apply to the initial flash? I.e. using Rom manager to flash CWM updates or flashing again from Rom manager so I can download Roms from the app, since the app is unusable unless you flash CWM from the app itself.
Or, Is there any way around Rom manager telling me I have to flash CWM before I can do anything.
All help is appreciated. I would rather be safe than sorry, and I don't exactly have 650 bones to drop on another phone if I brick this.

short answer is, dont use ROM manager. period.

Please be more informative next time you post a question. Are you on 4.0.4 or what? And are you running stock rom (rooted/not rooted) or a custom one?
Sent from the Matrix
If you have the ROM that you get when you got the cellphone, then you will adviced if you have a update from samsung.
If you have a Custom ROM based on CM 10.1 [Google It] or AOKP [Google it] you can update in CWM [google it] without any wipe [Google it]
If you have a custom ROM based on Samsung, you need to wipe all the data and install it via CWM or ODIN.

sry for my english.

About your first point: thats the whole problem he stated.
About the second part: you're not completely right. If the OP indeed has a custom rom, then the updates from it (AOSP, AOKP or Samsung based) must be done like the developer says in his thread. @OP: in that case you won't get a 'Software Update'-notification, but maybe your rom has the Update Me-app or anything like it, so you can flash it through CWM.
If you (OP) are on a stock rom, then you have to flash the updates manually through Odin. However, if you're on 4.0.4, there is no update because it's the latest firmware.

And did you considered rooting your device? In that way you have to access to the latest build that are available.

It all started yesterday when I was using my GT-P7500 (Rooted and Running Slimbean 4.1.2 ROM), I left it alone and I got some rest. After a few minutes it powered off unexpectedly. The following day I tried to flash the stock 3.1 using Odin3 v1.85, Odin said it passed, I looked at my tablet it was doing something it was supposed to do, it then went to the Samsung Logo (Not the Boot Animation) after that it got stuck in a bootloop, I tried going to stock recovery but it was no use, I couldn't get there. I can attachments if you can't understand what I am saying.
It now takes forever to flash stock rom.
My friend said to use another version of Odin3 so I used v3.04, But now it takes forever to flash, CAny help will be gladly appreciated.
Maybe try to flash a custom recovery and then flash another custom ROM, or flash stock ics ROM

I'll try that later, but my tab is taking forever to flash the stock rom, What will happen if I remove it?
Please help!!!!
Odin3 said that it was a failure, now my tab says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I selected emergency firmware recovery but my device doesn't show up. What should I do? Should I just turn it off ,charge it and try to use Odin3 again?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
You just want your tab to boot right? If its not stock does it matter? If not, flash cwm recovery, make a full wipe then flash a custom ROM.

I flashed CWM and it was a success, now I tried going to CWM Recovery, but with no avail. It just says
Code:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating Application...
Then after that, it will just say the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Logo.
If I flash the Stock ICS Rom, will this resolve my problem?
You can try, but I'm not really sure though. I think you need experts help.
