I have SuperChargedHatkaDNA 1.1.6 and want to update to 2.1.0. Do I need to go through the who flashing a boot image or can I just install the update through my recovery?
If it is an update of the same Rom you should just be able to flash the update in recovery. Just to be on the safe side you should also back up all your data.
If the Rom author changed what kernel the Rom comes with than you will have to reflash the boot.img, but otherwise, no, you won't have to reflash it and will be able to do it all in recovery.

The kernal changed to the 0.9.4 or so you will need to flash boot.img but other than that flash the rom

i have my vibrant running obsidian rom with no lagfix. i want to revert it back to stock tmobile 2.1 image. is this possible without using odin? can i just flash a stock image and kernal via recovery?
I was able to do it by flashing the stock kernal and then a nandroid restore.

Yep, once you flash a 2.1 kernel, a nandroid would work. Or flashing any 2.1 rom after that. dont reboot between flashing the kernel and rom or nandroid restore because it wont boot.

Well my question is basically how can I flash a different ROM without always starting from 1.26 and use gladroot then update and update again then the updated ROM or a new ROM?
thanks

Once you've installed a rom using CWM you can just use CWM to flash a different rom.
If you want to be a little more cautious, you could use CWM to create a back up before flashing a rom. Then you can just restore to the back up and then flash the new rom.
So I wipe first then install the new ROM or can I just install from sd?
Thanks

I created a backup before flashing a rom so I restore to that backup and then flash the new rom.
I think you could skip that step and just flash the new rom right over the old rom, but I prefer to stay safe and flash after restoring.
Great thanks

What is your end goal? You can't really flash cwm because it's built into the kernel.
If you're trying to go back to a Samsung based rom, you *NEED* yo Odin back to jfd and start from there (there is no other way, it must be Odin/heimdall and jfd).
If you're trying to flash to miui or a later nightly, "flash" vibrantmtd, or better yet, flash the rom by hand in recovery.

I read some where I needed to use ROM Manager to update CM7, but if I just have to download it, copy it to my phone, reboot into recovery, then GREAT!!

People suggest rom manager all the time, but really it's just a gui to the recovery, with the ability to download roms.
Yeah, just flash while in recovery.

It all started yesterday when I was using my GT-P7500 (Rooted and Running Slimbean 4.1.2 ROM), I left it alone and I got some rest. After a few minutes it powered off unexpectedly. The following day I tried to flash the stock 3.1 using Odin3 v1.85, Odin said it passed, I looked at my tablet it was doing something it was supposed to do, it then went to the Samsung Logo (Not the Boot Animation) after that it got stuck in a bootloop, I tried going to stock recovery but it was no use, I couldn't get there. I can attachments if you can't understand what I am saying.
It now takes forever to flash stock rom.
My friend said to use another version of Odin3 so I used v3.04, But now it takes forever to flash, CAny help will be gladly appreciated.
Maybe try to flash a custom recovery and then flash another custom ROM, or flash stock ics ROM

I'll try that later, but my tab is taking forever to flash the stock rom, What will happen if I remove it?
Please help!!!!
Odin3 said that it was a failure, now my tab says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I selected emergency firmware recovery but my device doesn't show up. What should I do? Should I just turn it off ,charge it and try to use Odin3 again?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
You just want your tab to boot right? If its not stock does it matter? If not, flash cwm recovery, make a full wipe then flash a custom ROM.

I flashed CWM and it was a success, now I tried going to CWM Recovery, but with no avail. It just says
Code:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating Application...
Then after that, it will just say the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Logo.
If I flash the Stock ICS Rom, will this resolve my problem?
You can try, but I'm not really sure though. I think you need experts help.

I have a question though, What version of Odin would that best be to use on.
I'm using v1.87, so far no issues.

I'm on blackstar 9 under ics but I want to update to a jellybean rom. Before installing any new jellybean rom do I need to update my cwm or install a new kernel first? I tried just wiping and and trying to install the new pacmon rom but kept getting an error. I haven't flashed a rom in a long time but I know there must be sometime failing to see. Any suggestions? Thanks I'm advance!

Get goo app off play store and update to twrp

Yes you need to update your recovery. I recommend TWRP recovery. It's very easy to use and most developers recommend it too.
Here's where you get it.

Once you install twrp make a backup. Pick your rom, flash it, then enjoy!
Kernels are for overclocking/under volting. Kernels are rom specific so research before installing one. Try the new rom you pick for a day or two to see if you even want a different one.
