Hi
Please forgive me for such a noob question because im new to this but Iv currently have the voodoo sim unlock on my S3 and is working fine but with samsung's latest update i have to use the voodoo app everytime i turn my phone on therefore would like to apply this fix but dont know how to flash in CWM recovery.
Could someone please tell me how i would go about doing this?
Ive downloaded the fix file and unzipped it to have two folders: "META-INF" & "system"
My phone is on unbranded stock firmware and rooted.
Thank you in advance
the Meta and system files are WHAT that zip file will be modifying.
your not supposed to unzip them......just place them on your phone and use CWM to flash from sd and choose that zip to flash.
the Beans are Cool

thx for reply i tried that earlier and on bootup it went into blue and i couldnt mount any of the partitions
how do i flash in odin with atlas 2.2 pit file or without?
I use the recovery JT attached in this post. Should be the same one linked to about.
Shouldn't need to mount anything.
Boot into recovery using three finger method (only do this for the first time into recovery ).
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip from SD card
install the MIUI 7-29 file from post you linked to.
After its complete you can flash the Glitch kernel too, without even rebooting.
That's how I've always done it, just had to do this over ED05 after messing my phone up after flashing CM7 and Vanilia to try them out.

I always select the PIT file, and make sure the box that says "Repartition" is checked on the left side.
You only need the Atlas PIT file if you are trying to go back to a Froyo rom after flashing one of the GB roms. Say going from MIUI back to ED05.

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?
So I'm running an unlocked and rooted rez that I want to put clean rom 1.5 on. Thing of it is, I've never flashed a ROM on anything and am a complete newb in terms of programming anything. Could use some help.
As I understand it, I dl the zip and throw it on the SD card, and then I know I need to do a wipe and factory reset and install the zip through recovery (all of which I think I can do with ROM manager) but I don't know how to get all this done.
1) Do I need cleanflash and if so, what do I need to do with it and how?
2) How do you flash cleanROM 1.5 and not lose NFL mobile and facebook/twitter? (It says there are other files to flash before rebooting, I found them in the cleanROM zip but I don't know what to do with them)
Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry bout my kindergarten question but you gotta start somewhere
Here is a guide with lots of useful info. Rom Manager won't work right now because we are using a unofficial ClockworkMod recovery. I would highly suggest installing Amon RA as of right now, and nit using rom manager. This guide by Con will walk you thru what you need to do. Thank him, because though I have only been on the same phone/forum for a little while, I have come to respect what he does for us in these forums..Peace
Edit: For the apps you want to save, download titanium backup off of the market, and backup your apps. After you flash your new rom, redownload Titanium, and restore the apps you want. I would just do the app, and not the data as that can cause problems sometimes. Good Luck

1) CleanFlash definitely streamlines recovery/boot flashing. Just make sure to put the boot.img and recovery.img in the same directory as the zip files.
2) After flashing CleanRom in recovery, before you reboot flash the framework zip file in the CleanRom directory on your sd card.
Sent from my newly unlocked Rezound running CleanRom 1.5/Clockwork Mod.
Alright, well I just went ahead and gave it a shot. I flashed Clean ROM and the social networking zip and rebooted, then flashed recovery.img and boot.img with clean flash and rebooted. Does that basically cover it?
Not sure what the framework.zip file is, I didn't see it in recovery mode in the cleanrom folder, what does that file do and do I need to go through the paces again to flash it or can I just flash it now that I'm up and running?
The file is called Social Networking Framework.zip and it's located in the CleanROM directory on your SD Card after you flash the CleanRom 1.5 zip. The Verizon Bloat Services zip file contains your NFL mobile and other Verizon/HTC apps.
It is recommended that you flash these files before your first reboot. So I would say, yes, reflash CleanROM and make sure to follow all the steps in the CleanROM thread.

This will be my first time also installing a rom, I have unlocked the bootloader and it is left unlocked, I have rooted and installed amon ra recovery. I have downloaded the new clean rom 1.5.5 and not sure what to do next.
1)Do I have to unzip the files from my PC then put them on the sd card or leave it zipped I also need to install the Social network file also.
2)Do I have to update the boot.img if im coming from stock if so how?(tried the flashtool for aman ra and didn't work for me)
3) In the instructions under the rom thread it says install rom and reboo. will it just pop up and ask to install rom if I place it in the right folder?
Thanks for helping out a noob. Rom looks awesome.

1. Don't unzip the zip file just place on external SD card. Look in the instructions regarding Social network file I never used it.
2. Check the instructions for sure, but I think Clean rom still uses stock kernel so it would boot and run just wouldn't get the performance tweaks Scott puts in the kernel he uses. Otherwise, yes you would flash the boot.img after the rom before you boot up the first time. It really isn't hard if you just put the boot.img in the same folder you used to unlock that contains fastboot . Open up the command prompt while phone is in fastbootusb and type fastboot flash boot boot.img and viola it will flash the kernel for you . Then just reboot phone and your done.
3. Just place the downloaded zip onto the external sd card. Reboot into recovery ..chose the wipe data factory reset to wipe , then after it's wiped choose install zip menu .. choose the external sd card then find the zip select it and confirm you want to flash and bam. If you are going to install the boot.img at this point.. go back to main menu and find the choice for developer menu .. select it and then chose reboot to bootloader.. place the boot.img in your fastboot folder you used to unlock and do the command I typed in 2. above and it will flash the kernel. Then return to recovery and reboot !
Just read the instructions and they are pretty easy.
Actually, I think for 1.5.5 you will need to install the boot.img so just look at the instructions to get the boot.img out of the zip and the rest of the instructions are pretty clear.

Hello,
is there any easy way to backup my original factory firmware so after I flash a new ROM and I won't like it I can revert back to what factory gave me?
Best you can do is root your phone, and do a nandroid backup in CWRecovery before doing anything else to the phone (flashing a custom rom/kernel/etc). This will give you a 'snapshot' of your stock setup only with root, and all you'd need to do to unroot is flash a stock kernel.
Or you can simply flash a stock rom with Odin over whatever you have at the time.
There's no way to do what you're asking with a stock/unrooted phone.
As mentioned above u can't do it with out rooting. First root your phone without flashing any custom rom or kernel by pasting the zip file in ext sd and apply update using stock recovery. Then download recovery tools from play store and get your temporary cwm touch recovery. After this go to stock recovery and apply this zip. Then do a nandroid backup and reboot after it finishes. You'll have the exact stock rom, kernel and recovery. :good:

Dont worry dude. i'll try and explain as much as i can.
1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and choose the Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip or Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip from the attachments.
2. Paste it in your ext sd card and power off.
3. Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update from sdcard and select the SuperSU file.
4. Now reboot your device and it will be successfully rooted and SuperSU will be installed.
5. Download temporary cwm recovery from their website or get it via recovery tools in play store. (link provided by you is correct except for different language i think )
6. Paste cwm.zip it in ext sd and reboot into recovery mode. apply update and you will get temporary cwm recovery.
7. Now you can take backup from it. it will backup all your data and both rom, kernel and even recovery will be stock.
Be careful while flashing roms or kernels though. :good:
