So, I think I know what's wrong, but I'm not sure.. I've used Odin to flash my phone. I think I flashed an Skyrocket kernel on it, which works, however the buttons down "there" don't work, what are they called?
So, I got one copy of the original kernel, but I need to make it to a .tar file, no clue how to, care to tell me?
Now, I do have one copy of my original rom, but I wouldn't mind using another one, because of all the bloatware, so can I, is it possible to flash a new rom for an other phone on my galaxy s II LTE, or do the roms need to be made for one specific phone?
that's about all I know about everything on Android, if I'm wrong at certain things, please feel free to correct me, and if you so kindly want to help, try to dumb it down to my level.
I have no clue what I'm doing.
up up up
I got the kernel, I need to convert it to tar! HOW?

I loaded the P7510 root files on it (BAD IDEA for anyone reading).
I tried to "re-stock" it with the P7500 stuff and it wouldn't work. (when I get home I will try to find the right .pit file and try it again)
I tried to push a new rom with ADB and flash it and so far no joy.
If anyone has any ideas I am open to them.
if anyone has the t-mobile 10.1 tab.... CWM recovery seems to work. I need a full system backup to restore my tab. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

What version of the CWM do you have? I found that 4.x and 5.x versions create different file types for the nandroid backup and they are not compatible.
I can create a backup for you tomorrow for any of the CWM, just tell me which one you need.
[EDIT]
I have a unbranded 10.1 3G and the backup would be from a modded Overcome ROM, but at least you would get the tab back to work.
[/EDIT]
I think it needs to be the T-Mobile ROM. I can flash stock roms for the P7500 if they are the same. Anyone else try any roms on the t-mobile tab?

Didn't the T-Mobile just release? Your the first post I have seen for it. What the model? P7500 or something else?
Also, FYI or not, this does not belong in the Dev section. Please read the rules for posting.

It was meant as a combined warning and cry for help I figured since this is where everyone comes for info on root... the warning should be here too. The model number is SGH-T859
you may need some one else to do a t-mobile rom dump, and reflash either through cwm or odin. Did you check the samsung firmware site for a recovery image? As a last resort, you could exchange it for a new one. And of course make a good backup in the future to go off of.
BTW, that is odd that your model number is so different from the normal gt-7xxx. Just to be sure, this is a galaxytab 10.1 or 8.9, right?
Yeah it is a 10.1 .... t-mobile always has a new number but it does surprise me that the p7500 stuff isn't working... I will try again tonight. If anyone has the T-Mobile 10.1 tab please send me a system backup
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to General
Not surprised the model number is different considering the LTE from Verzion is different as well.
ok so I got it to work with the 002001-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.3.tar here
I am making a backup. I couldn't get the "re-stocking" part to work. It looks like we need a .pit file. But if you want the CWM recovery that should work.
So far my wifi hasn't come back :'(
I am going to try a few more things and report back
Wish I'd seen you're posts sooner. I pretty much followed you right off the same cliff. I was hoping that an easy solution was at hand. I'm much more a noob at this stuff, and am having trouble communicating with the tablet at all, much less doing anything to problem solve it. I do have CWM v4.0.1.4 working and would be happy just getting the stock kernal back on it. Guess I have a lot of reading and learning to do this week.
If anyone can help, I'd (we) would really appreciate it. I have a long hospital stay coming up on the 14th and this tablet was going to make it a bit more bearable. Is there a way to remove CWM so I could do a return to T-Mobile? Just a thought...
Thanks for any input.
Hmmm this is for the new 10.1 4G model? I have a stock one I had been waiting to root til I could find out if existing methods worked or not
can u pls send me your stock boot.img?
would like to add support for it.
thx.

Yeah, don't root it yet. The current root methods don't support it. Man, if you could provide pershoot with an image and/or me with a nandroid backup that would be fantastic. I don't mind waiting for the excellent developers here on XDA to do their stuff (it's always worth it), but I've got about a week to get mine up and running again.
Thanks for whatever you can do.
I got mine to root just fine, using the process in the stickie. I used odin and then cwm to install root. Stayed on stock rom and used Ti backup to uninstall bloatware. I am happy as can be
Sent from my SGH-T859 using XDA App
point me to the recovery image you used, I'll dump a nand and upload it (asking for link just to ensure you get exactly what you need)
HI
Hi, I have a model like yours, t-mobile model: SGH-T859, if you send me a step by step I can send the files you need to get your table
Anyone has a solution for this right now?
I am stuck with the same problem
Thanks
Thanks for posting this info, I am sure this post has saved a lot of ppl from jumping off the same cliff.
hi guy i wanna know can odin modle work and my galaxy not, or am i doing something wrong,
what is "modle" ?
what exactly are you trying to do?
but in general, yes you can use odin on a Note
still need to know what you want done though
Hi All,
I'm totally new to rooting and to be honest I never planned to get into it and especially not in this way.... please read on....
I bought a 2nd hand S3. The original owner told me it had been unlocked from Vodafone UK, but no further modifications.
So the phone arrives and I turn it on and the first thing I notice is UltimaROM asking to download their latest v9 ROM. I see other apps installed like SuperuserSU, Headphones shortcut for SGS3, S Note etc... so I suspect the device has indeed been modified. Seller tells me it's only been unlocked and nothing else. Also, comparing to a work colleague's stock S3, my phone has a different appearance (different battery % icon amongst others...), I see Nexus 4 wallpapers are available, JaiThemes etc... all looks a bit fishy to me.
Also phone does boot into recovery mode into CWM...
So I start reading a little bit, I've downloaded Rootchecker - says phone is not rooted.
All I ever wanted was a stock S3, no interest in rooting for now. Could someone please advise what I can do to get back to stock and have it unlocked? I know there are guides to un-root a phone, but rootchecker says my phone is not rooted, and I have no original backup, so I don't know where to go from here....
Any help or guidance is appreciated here...
Check the basics, there's a guide on flashing a stock ROM.
The seller is definitely lying to you

Thanks for the reply.
If I find a Vodafone UK stock ROM, will I then lock the phone back to Vodafone?
Thanks
Don't think so, but why would you get a vodafone ROM? Just get a universal one

Thanks for that, I will look for a universal one.
I've been looking for a bit, but I can't find the 'basics' section you mention in order to flash a stock ROM.
I have searched the forums, and people have mentioned ' I flashed a stock ROM' but I need to know the steps to do this...
Also - has my warranty been affected? If yes and it is now invalid, will flashing a stock ROM solve this?
Again, any help is really appreciated here.

I bought this phone some months ago, I was excited with it because is very useful and has a good performance. I was looking for a custom ROM because stock ROM is not so pretty, I'm not a developer but I know a little bit about it, I wanna create the first ROM based in Stock ROM, just for begining. I need help for it, I know that there's many people with this phone and a lot of them know much than me, if someone want to help me or wanna learn with me about development, please contact me or write in this post.
To begin, I only extract system folder and kernel IMG from stock ROM, my problem is with the META-INF folder, because kitchen create that, but it's not useful if I don't modify updater-script file (when I try to flash it with CMW I get status 0 error). Please help me, even if you are a DEV for another Alcatel phone, maybe you know what I can do to fix error.
Great to hear somebody cooking rom for Alcatel One Touch C3 4033X!
Seems I cannot find any custom ROMs for it online, the nearest I got is a discussion on the phone albeit different model.

And I found this 4.4.2 Kitkat ROM, not sure it's valid one, and dunno for which model

Also I want, but I'm not a developer, I only learn to make that, but if you want to develop a ROM I can send you boot.img and system folder. If you want to extract it by your own way, I extracted it making a backup, then I copied the backup to my PC and uncompressed system.ext4 file.

i don't have a Linux computer so can't do it and am not a Dev.

hi...please help me to update alcatel one touch magic to latest version

Hello first of all, I'm new for this thing to customize cell phones, so please be patient XD. Well, to the point.
I want to know if there is a way to convert rom files (ZIP) into firmware files (FTF). I saw some tutorials on YouTube about changing the name to the file extension, but it does not work for me, the flash tool does not recognize it.
Well, to all this, I wanted to try the new rom that was released in the development section, and for that reason I have realized that I have this problem.
PS: I could not unlock the bootloader, it tells me that my device is not allowed.
Thank you all.
Hey, anybody is there?
