Hey guys
Well im new to this page and i have a galaxy player 5.0. Im have succesfully rooted it but i have trouble flashing a custom recovery.
I have downloaded ROM manager but when it asks for my phone model im cant find it on the list. I have chosen Galaxy S 4G because i thought it was closer to this model.
Im sorry if there was a answer out there and didnt find it but i have some trouble finding stuff with the search function and cat understand some terms that are used by more experienced people
Sorry for my english its not my native language
Thanks in advance
You don't actually have to have ROM manager to flash stuff, bit you DO need a kernel with cwm. Get the one appropriate for your device (us or international). Then reboot into recovery (hold down power + up or use an app) and install your zip from there.
Hope that helps!

Thanks, But where can i find a kernel for my device and now if its US or international, and what is it?
Mine is the international version
Just search this:
[KERNEL][CWM][OC&UV] rj's custom kernel for Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL (YP-G70) r14
Download the appropriate software (Odin, kies, drivers.) and follow the directions carefully.
Don't use rom manager.
Thanks. I downloaded the Kernel. It has 2 files in it. One is called zImage and the other one is a folder called META.INF
As i have understanded in the instructions i should open Odin3 and and select PDA and select a file but i dont know wich. and when i open and browse to the folder where the 2 files are on i just find the folder called META.INF
Help Me please!!!

You have to flash the zimage under pda
I dont understand. Could you give me a step by step on how to do this??
1.download rj kernel r2
2. Put your device in download mode(device turned off hold down button and plug in USB cable immediately) you should see an android with yellow triangle
3.open odin 3
4.under PDA Choose rj kernel r2(zimage)
5.Press start in Odin
6. You have now successfully flashed your first kernel
OK thanks i flashed the kernel already
Now how do i acces CWM while in recovery mode?
Also i have also installed Gingerbread After installing my kernel. Does this mean my kernel has been erased??
Thanks in advance
Oh, I thought you already had gingerbread installed.
Well on the US YP-G70 to access CWM, while the device is off, hold the volume UP button + power button. Let go of power button when you see the samsung logo. Try it.
IF CWM recovery comes up you should still have the kernel because CWM comes with the kernel.
goodluck
No, I have just installed gingerbread using the same method as trying to install a kernel but out of curiosity.
My device is now on gingerbread 2.3.6 it is unrooted and doesnt have the kernel installed
How can i root gingerbread? superoneclick doesnt work and i triede Z4root and gingerbreak
And does the latest rj kernel have CWM installed?
Thanks in advance

Do not flash a incorrect recovery, at best you will softbrick.
Most of the time- you loose your device.

Thanks!

our phone isnt supported with rom manager yet, there is clockworkmod for our phone though but you need to install it through odin
Download Odin 4.28 and the ClockworkMod file, and flash your phone to CWM that way, it works- thats how i got my phone running CM7.1.

No need for links. Clockworkmod Recovery is now officially available through ROM Manager.
Solved (for me)
I also have a Samsung GT I5500 (Galaxy 5, Europa)
So, as I see, Rom Manager free isn't available for Android 2.1 (that's the version I had).
Although, Clockwork recovery can be installed using Odin, but to start the phone in "recovery" mode it's needed to do it trough the console in the computer, using the developer tools (with adb) ...or, use it just after it's installed.
After installing that recovery image it's automatically started, for the first time.
But you can use it to install another newer and better ROM, that can be compatible with ROM Manager. I installed CyanogenMod 7.
First you have to "root" your phone, here is how I did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19576527#post19576527
To install something using Odin use this post (about installing ClockworkMod Recovery and CyanogenMod 7), it's newbie-friendly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
But I recommend using the files from this post (are the latest 7 January 2012):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149110&highlight=mad2sd
And, as in that last post says, be sure to install the "Baseband", without that I got a boot cycle:

Hi all,
I did a bad work with my galaxy tab. I've flashed it with a new ROM but this ROM is not working correctly, I can't see correctly my display probably due to a bad driver inside the build. My problem is that I've no more a working ROM on my galaxytab and I can't reflash it.
USB seems not working correctly, so device is powered on but I can't access to it from Windows.
Is there a way to to upload a file to internal storage in recovery mode or download mode?
Thanks
Stefano
Stefano,
Depends what recovery you have as recovery...stock recovery no you can't, clockwork recovery yes you can. From download you can use Odin.
What model Tab do you have? Wifi, 3G? What version firmware were you on before the problem and what do you want to restore to?
Ciao
Hi, yes I've Clockwork installed but how I can 'upload' a file using Odin? The standard guide shows that Odin3 is used only to upload a .tar.md5 file to root the phone....
Thanks

That's why i asked what sort of tab you have and what you want to flash your tab to..
There are odin files available to go back to 3.0.1, to go to Early Touchwiz, both for Wifi only tabs...if you are really stuck it is often beneficial to go all the way back to 3.0.1 then go in whatever direction you like.
Or, if the tab is sort of working even tho the display is corrupt you might be able to connect and use adb to push a rom to the sdcard and then flash from clockwork. More info Stefano, what have you got by way of tab, and where do you want to get to?
Download the samsung drivers on your computer . Then install android sdk so you can use the adb if you haven't already.Then you can adb to push a rom to your device and flash.
I'll try ASAP...I'll also add ROM and device details.
I've a Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 GT-P7500

Moving to General
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 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
I give flashing a go. Thanks again for your help
Has anybody tried flashing Overcome ROM on SGH-T859?
Okay hello everyone im new on this forum as well as +1000 users so its ok if you hate me, well aside from that i own a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 with android 2.3.6, the problem is that i dont have clockwork recovery, i tried to flash it from rom manager but it didn´t work, so i searched in the web and i found this video:
youtube /watch?v=ByZ2okDu3CI
Everything went fine until the Odin part, i have Kies installed with drivers and everything but in the video it says i need COM18 and i get COM6, what i want is to get Clockwork so i can get started on this flashing scene and that stuff because i like to experiment and im a curious person, but as i dont know alot about Odin and i dont want to brick my phone im asking for your help, thanks for reading this far and i hope you can help me, and sorry if this has been asked before, i searched in the forums and i didnt find this problem

@ZACQ8,
I rooted my son's S2 using this method -> http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-newworks-on-all-galaxy-s2-variants/ and now need to install CWM. Was thinking of "touch", but don't know how.
Went to the CF-root link in your signature but not sure which one to choose ... my firmware before the root was 2.3.6, but has now gone to 2.3.5 and the base band is XXKI4. Can you suggest the exact file I should download? Can you also tell me if the touch version is available?
Thanks,
Hello bro...

This tutorial always works on stock Gingerbread 2.3.x:
1- Download "siyah-2.6.14-CWM.zip" and extract the .tar file using any archiver.
2- Flash the .tar file using ODIN 1.85 (first, put your phone into download mode by turning it off and pressing Volume down + home button + Power button), and you need to select the PDA field for the .tar file.
You are now rooted on stock 2.3 and you have CWM which can possibly flash some new ROMs but notice that if you want to flash 4.4 KitKat ROMs, you need to upgrade your recovery to latest CWM 6.0.4.7 (6.0.4.5 should work too). Good luck

The file to be flashed through ODIN (after extraction of course): http://gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar
You know the drill: Extract, flash with ODIN, enjoy a rooted phone with CWM 5.x.x.x which is quite-too-old now, and I don't see how one can fail using the method. Anyway, go for "update.zip" by simply googling update.zip for gingerbread 2.3 rooting and you should be able to flash that file from recovery with superuser app installed (worked for me on stock recovery back then)
