When you flash a CWM kernel, you ARE rooted! Just follow the steps provided in the Cognition thread. If you're not rooted and have no CWM, do it first with the link provided by JJEgan.

In CWM the first option is to Reboot into ClockWorkMode recovery.

got superuser & rom manager
so I must flash XWKE7 first?
yes best way to install cognition rom (because the rom is based on XWKE7)
1) flash stock XWKE7 rom with odin
2) flash CF root for XWKE7
3) download cognition rom 1.07 and put it on /sdcard/external sd-card
4) boot with 3 keys into CWMrecovery
5) choose cognition_s2_107.zip file on sdcard and flash this wonderful rom
so i have done

Questions, if you don't mind:
I rooted ages ago and apparently a lot has changed since then..new roms/kernels and other stuff.
First, I think 1) and 2) are understandable. Get 1) from Intratech's thread, flash with Odin. Get 2) from ChainFire's thread, flash with Odin. I can do this on my existing kernel, right? I have PDA: XWKE2
- Where do I get CWMrecovery from? It's not in the Market.
- How do I boot with three keys?

Hi guy,,,
i had un-successfull tries with odin. but Also had a successful one when flashing Vibrant with Stock 2.1. it was very simple indeed just downloaded .tar and .pit file, and flash , and thats it.
i want upgrade to 2.2 (latest version of 2.2 , maybe 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 not sure)
using Odin.
can any1 provide a straight link to download STOCK OFFICIAL FROYO .tar and .pit files ? to use wth Odin ??
Thx Guys
Ok , another quick Q: when i flashed 2.1, i downloaded .pit and .tar file.
now im downloading T959UVKA7 -that is 2.2 - from http://www.samfirmware.com/
but i donkt know how to find associated .pit ???
is any ROM MUST has a .pit file to flash ???
Latest one was kb5 and you can find odin version here.,,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12913705
plz , i downloaded T959UVKA7.rar , do i need .pit file ??? and from where i get it ??
does every version of ROM have a distinct .pit file ?

can i find answer to this please ?
Answer is NO!!
Mapping can be done using the same 512 pit file.
Also you only need to repartition once which you already did when you Odin's to JFD Eclair
Therefore, you don't need to partition anymore.
Also UN-tick reboot on Odin, Otherwise you wont have control the first time in wiping critical stuff before you re-boot. You use the menu on the phone to wipe data/factory reset and then do the wipe the cache next, Then do a reboot otherwise you might end up with a boot loop.
Also why aren't you using Rom Manager, to flash ROM's instead of Odin?
Your going to find out here shortly that 99% of all ROM's are in a zipped file, and must be done using CWM recovery method.
thx for your reply , can u provide me wth a link for detailed guide for beginners to use Rom Manager from scratch ?

Got Root? YOU NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY!
Big props to XDA user Koush for his amazing Rom Manager App. In short, this lets you create system backups for those "oops" moments. It also gives you a directory of ROMs for easy downloading and flashing. Yeah, it is that cool. Please see his post for instructions. After successfully installing, be sure a make a Nandroid Backup of your system before flashing any rom's (see below).
Installation instructions:
1.Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2.Flash Recovery.
3.Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4.Accept the Superuser prompt.
5.On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6.Watch the backup go!
Thx Dear,
plz i need to confirm that setting before i dive into Ocean
- i open Odin 1.3 (leave Auto-reboot , F. reset time checked) by default
- will load 512.bit into PIT
- will load "T959UVKA7-REV05-home-low-CL865177.tar.md5" into PDA
- put phone into download mode , connect USB cable , and press Strat.
is this right ? any additional steps or files required ? (i hear about csc , modem files , etc , do i need such files ? or just everything is included in T959UVKA7 version i downloaded from samfirmware.com)
thx in advance..

Hi forum
I just purchase a Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB No SD card version that comes preinstalled with Android 3.1 and it feels sluggish in use to put it midly.
Now I purchased the unit as an upgrade for my Galaxy Tab 7" which already runs the excellent Overcome Rom. I remember rooting and installing was extremely simple and easy but it has been a long while since I've done any such thing.
I'm looking for a complete guide to install the newest Overcome Rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and unfortunately the guide on the Overcome site is currently down for maintenance and I'm not allowed to post in the Overcome thread here on the site. I need help rooting the unit as well as I figure it's required to install the rom.
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Root using the guide in the dev section.
Once rooted, move the ROM to your root folder (sdcard/ )
Hold down power + Vol down, release power at the splash (still holding VD).
select recovery
select to install from zip
reboot after flashing

No need to root first. Also, you need CWM recovery before you can install the zip.
So, what you really need to do is:
1) Use Odin to flash CWM recovery (to get to download mode, hold power + vol down until you see a screen with two pictures - right one is download, left one is recovery. You select one by pressing vol up)
2) Plug the Tab into your PC or use a sharing program to copy the Overcome zip file to /sdcard/ of your device (it's the root directory if you open it up on windows, where folders like "Movies", "Downloads", "Pictures" etc. are).
3) Go to recovery, wipe data to insure a clean install, then proceed to flash the .zip
4) Give it a few minutes for first boot
Also, you might want to take a backup before you flash Overcomes .zip, just to be safe and if you ever want to go back to your original stock
All needed files can be found in the thread.
PS: Also, Overcome comes prerooted, so after flashing you'll have root. Make sure to run Superuser once before you try to give root to anything though.
Thank you so much both of you for the quick and informative answers.
Nightmarebadger.
Can you briefly explain how I flash with Odin correctly?
Do I only need the file called 002002-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6.zip, when flashing or to I need to include other files as well?
wouldnt you need to change the kernal too?
Follow the guide in the dev section I referenced.... after you have CWR (or overstocks) you can then flash the ROM.
Doesn't flashing a modded firmware with odin effect your flashcounter

Now I'm not 100% on this because it's been a while since I flashed CWM on my Tab so you might want to look up some guides or wait for someone else to explain it step by step.
First of all if you want to flash via Odin you need the .tar file, not the .zip one. You might even be able to flash the .zip with the stock recovery, but I wouldn't know (I didn't try it that way and the guide I was using said to use Odin). Here comes the part that I'm not really sure about - where exactly do you need to put the .tar - [Edit] seems you need to put it under PDA
And even though Overcome comes with their version of CWM recovery, a "normal" one should do the trick also - so you can just follow one of the guides on the net to put that one on your tab. When you flash Overcome ROM it'll also flash their version of CWM anyway.
As for the kernel, Overcome comes with stock kernel - if you want anything extra (OC for instance) you will want to flash pershoots kernel with CWM.
I'm grateful for all the help you guys have been giving.
For future reference how to use Odin is right here :
Flashing a Custom Recovery●►
Go into the same root folder as before.
Double click the root application named "Odin3_v1.85.exe"
Select PDA
Double click the clockworkmod recovery file labeled "recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5" to select it.
Click Start
Once it is complete, you can close the program
The root folder comes from a root.zip which is located in this thread :

Has anybody tried flashing Overcome ROM on SGH-T859?
Hello,
Simple way to root and unroot stock kernel without flashing insecure kernel.
Don't worry about custom counter and yellow triangle, with this method they never appear, because we only rooting, it's a rooting script not a custom kernel.
This rooting script included Busybox installer.
Rooting :
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip
- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
Unroot :
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip
- SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard
Choose and Install SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Unrooted
Tested on latest stock Galaxy S II ICS rom.
Tested on latest Galaxy Note by some user (thanks for report)
Note: This method should work for other device with ICS rom, check CWM that compatible for your device.
You can download all the zip files from this thread. ROOT/UNROOT ZIP Files
If it helps than dont forgot to hit THANKS Button.
Thanks,
I don't think this thread is necessary, since the original one is still active and is being used by other members.
Exactly. Duplication. And if it belongs anywhere it belongs in General, not Q&A

I want to go back to stock rom. So I downloaded a zip file of the firmware.
Please give me the detailed steps to flash the rom without bricking it. My externel sdcard is unable to mount in CWM.
Any kind of help will be much appreciated.
thank you.
First download and install odin from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
1. If it is in zip extract it using 7zip,winrar.....
2. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).
3.Shut down your phone than put your device in download mode. To do so, press Vol-Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release Power (It might not work in first time,so try it three four time before posting again)
Button. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading.
4. You should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!
5. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.
6. Dont check any option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default if not than check them).
7. Now click Start.
8. When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box and your device should reboot by itself
Good luck:good:
Thanks for your concern but i don't have the .tar file so i'm unable to flash it via ODIN. Can you give me the instruction to flash .zip file through CWM recovery. And what should i do if my external sd is unable to mount?

To flash through CWM you dont need external SD card. You can just copy the file in to Internal SD and flash it.
And for installing stock firmware, you cant just simply do it via CWM, you have to go for Odin only.
For this you need to download your original firmware from sammobile or in xda forums you can find it. Take a research, the above post will help.
