Hi
I recently read the instructions on how to update to ics at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322059.
I managed to root my device and install rom manager/clockwork mod. However,I am on 3e and I am apparently supposed to get 2e to install unsigned zip files? I found answers saying I should use Odin to flash speedmod but when I try the program just freezes. Ive tried multiple versions and different kernels. All I want to do is to be able to install ICS Aplha 3 on my galaxy tab.
If anyone can post detailed instructions on how to proceed,it would be very much appreciated.

Hello XDA people!!!
i recently broke my Asus Transformer, so replace it i bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi.
I was trying to find a way to root the 3.2 update, and was unable to do so can some find me a link to a guide or video, explain to how to??
It's the first post in the dev section. BTW- you don't "root the 3.2 update," you root the tablet.
Are you sure it compatible with the 3.2 update??
Root
I was on 3.2 and it rooted fine for me. I flashed cwm 5.0.2.7 instead of the cwm included in the "how to root" thread but that shouldnt affect if you get root.
You can try to search around Google or xda or even YouTube there are countless guides that will get you rooted with a custom clockwork mod revcovery in minutes. You can start with one of these threads

Both of these will work fine on 3.2
or you can simply flash clockwork mod and a prerooted rom
I have searched around not able to find anything really on how to install CMW to this device. Is there anything official for the YP-G1? If there is, can you give me a link to a tutorial on how to install it on this device? I have had it for a day so I do not know much about it.
-thanks
If you mean CWM not CMW, to put on GingerBread not GingerBreak then root your player and flash any custom kernel for the 4.0 (just make sure its for your region) and boom you have ClockWorkMod.
Thanks! And yea, many unnoticed typos.... I even read over it :/
hello,
i have been unable to install custom ROMs on my galaxy s2, various forums indicate the installation took place but in my own case the installation process stops when ever the kernel is trying to unpack the .zip file in order to commence installation. i have followed the step by step procedures of the devs but still havent been able to. especially resurrection and batista. are there any prerequisites i need to follow. i am currently using a rooted SGS2, kernel cf-root 5.2, stockROM XXLPH 4.0.3. thnks much.
i am not an expert when it comes to resurrection or batista, but i believe that some newer roms need at least the cwm recovery that comes with cf-root 5.4 or above, so maybe you should flash a newer stock rom with a corresponding newer cf-root to begin flashing.
or, if you want, you could flash the latest siyah kernel through odin, which is compatible with both stock and aosp/aokp roms and have a nice new touch recovery that is certainly able to flash all roms as well.
also, a problem is also a question and this thread belongs in the q&a section. reported. this time someone will move it for you, in the future, please post in the correct section in the first place, for reference have a look at the thread Questions belong in Q&A.
thank you for the response. kindly advice on what stable stock roms i could try. cus i believe i have also tried with a 5.3 but still same.
just also tried the F1 nexus rom still same. maybe i need to take the S2 back to factory, like repartitioning and all, pls what do you advice cus i think something behind has been messed up.
i also noticed something, when i flash with a stock ROM, the fone reboots into the android sytem recovery and i get an error "dst read(I/0 error)". please what does this mean.
please can someone help , i can only flash ROM's through ODIN, but cannot install zip files through recovery. recovery never unpacks the files and all ROM's come as zip files. please help
Dear all,
I know there are multiple threads running for the same, but still i was not able to understand most of the way. Am having SII which is running on Android 4.0.4, I want to root my phone so that i can install Jelly Bean Rom available in the forum.
last i have rooted Galaxy Spica 5700, but it required flashing device with Odin and instillation of a new kernel. But it seems like many new things have came up. Can someone please post me Point by point procedure of rooting my device with ClockworkMod recovery.
Plenty of threads that answer this question in detail. No need for people to duplicate topics or answers.

If you know how to flash kernels via odin its simple. Just download siyah kernel for i9100 , install the drivers required fr odin , flash the kernel in download mode. It will give you rot access and CWM recovery. Then yo can boot into recovery,wipe data/cache and install any rom you want. But do not wipe anything n stock recovery since you are on 4.0.4 (which has the brick bug)
you can also root by stock recovery just by flashing a single .zip file. But if you know the way to do it by odin i suggest the odin mehtod.
and to flash JB....MobileOdin Pro.......so you'll forget about rooting with the EverRoot option........................beware of the wipes with 4.0.4 tho, that crap is nasty.
hi,
I have a Galaxy S2 which I rooted very early on without flashing a custom recovery. At that time one just had to flash one specific thing via Odin and it was done.
So the thing is still running Gingerbread. Now I finally want to get a nice custom ROM on it. But I want to make sure that the current CWM recovery is still "compatible" to my old 2.3.3 Android (2.6.35.7-I9100XWKG1 kernel) - like, can I install the current CWM regardless of the fact that my Android is very old?
(I faintly remember having seen something about a CWM for ICS and another one for Jellybean, which is why I'm asking.)
Search the general i9100 forum on how to flash a custom ROM.
Start at the "guide index" thread and work your way from there.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Thank you for the hint, however, I already studied how to flash a custom ROM in the CM10.1 thread and how to install CWM from the CWM thread.
My specific question was different:
This is the CWM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
In here they offer a version to download for JB (6.0.2.7) and a version for ICS (5.5.0.4). To me, this implies that I can't just install any CWM version with my Gingerbread. Is this true, and what version do I have to install, then?
Flash the latest stock rom with Odin. After that flash the recovery for JB. Then you should be fine.
