I rooted my GT-P7510 US tablet about 3 years ago, and I'm overdue for an update. I'm running 3.1, a custom kernel -Task650 and Phantom's "In Paris v4" P7510UEKME. It's kernel version 2.6.36.4. I would like some advice on which os are most happy with and I would like to understand the process of what I have to flash i.e downgrade in order to upgrade? back to stock? Will this erase my files? What about my apps?

I use Titanium Backup.. to back up my apps and their data... just remember that if you back up system data you can't restore it on any rom but the one you made it on... but apps/app data can be installed from rom to rom.
A lot of the new roms require you to have an ICS bootloader. Pershoot has one you can download and flash/install with Odin. If you need it.
You will need an updated recovery... I use Infamous TWRP... it's a touch based recovery and in my opinion the best for this device..
As for you're other files.. you will need to backup them up on you're computer if you use Odin because I think it will format/wipe you're sdcard. You can also take the Titanium backup you made and put it on you're computer. If you have any questions just ask and I'll try to help.. Good Luck..
So after I backup my data on the sdcard partition,
1)I just need to choose stock ICS or JB and flash via Odin? I've heard performance isn't all that great with JB.
2) Use TWRP to install custom recovery. Are the ROM's pre-rooted?
Is this guide still up to date? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807219
Is the file for the ICS 4.0.4 still current for ICS?

If you have a custom recovery now.. you can install TWRP recovery ( I suggest.. Infamous Twrp ) in that custom recovery via a zip file. If you don't have a custom recovery we can work on getting you one. .But I seen that you are rooted and running a custom rom and kernel so I would assume you have a custom recovery,...probably cwm.. I can tell you how.. easy as pie. But I think you need to find out if you have an ICS Bootloader.. You will need this if you plan on flashing an updated rom..
Don't use that guide you linked.. that rom is for the 3g tab.. could work but why chance it..
Find out about the bootloader and get back to me... I will give you a link to my dropbox. I have a zip with all you need to get rooted/running ics/and recovery.. if we need to go that route. I'm hoping you have an ICS bootloader and cwm recovery already. It will be a simple series of steps to get you an up to date recovery and then a rom of you're choice.
If this isn't the case you might have to flash a bootloader with Odin on windows or if you have an ICS bootloader but no recovery you will need to flash a recovery in Odin.

How to check for ICS bootloader
@lowpost99
Ok, I'm prepping for this right now while I wait to hear back from you. I'll take a backup with Titanium Backup, get any other files I want to keep off.
I have CWM 4.0.0.4, and I don't think I have an ICS bootloader as ICS wasn't out when I last rooted. How do you validate? I'm still up in the air about which rom to use, JB or ICS, so I'm still looking. But after reading the known issues for CM 10 8/25/13 at droidbasement.com it seems to read that the ICS bootloaders are only needed for the p4wifiUK, but doesn't mention p4wifi (GT-P7510) specifically. Is that meant to be inclusive of any p4wifi or only the UK version of the hardware. My 10.1 is a US model. Do I just need I need to use ODIN 1.85 to flash an updated recovery and the new CM10? Or are you certain that I'll need this ICS bootloader as well. Also before flash the new recovery, shouldn't I do a factory reset to just clean things up? I should be able to restore the apps with TB and get any other files back from my PC. Your opinion and advice are appreciated.
I had the most stable experience with pershoots cm 10.1 roms. If you are using the cwm recovery he compiles, you can even use the autoupdate feature of the official cm roms.
At the moment I am using an early version of 10.2 because the 10.1 rom had issues with the stock keyboard closing all the time on my P4.
@lowpost99
Thanks Gil81, I needed a couple days to get things done, (broken ankle) and ended up with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098429
JB 4.3 with CM10.2. and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip. I've run into an issue with launching Titanium Backup now. I downloaded it from the play store, and the setting say to auto-create icons, but there's no icon to be found. It shows installed, and I've disabled HALO as well. I don't know how to manually place an icon on the home screens, because it doesen't appear in the app drawer. It must be my un-familiarity with ICS/JB vs HC. Any help is appreciated... I would like to restore my apps!

Hello,
I recently put a custom ROM on my Galaxy Player. But I want to put a new ROM on my Player. Do I have to remove my current ROM? Or just flash the new ROM with odin, without removing the old one.
I've been searching on google, but I didn't find any clear answers.
Can someone please tell me this?
Thanks
Nevermind I got this. I just installed the new ROM onto it, without removing the old one. Hope that the right thing..
Yes, but usually you want to do a factory reset deal with it, before and after flashing to new ROM. If you have a Nandroid backup, all you have to do is an advance restore and restore your previous data without all of the hassle.

Factory reset prior to flashing a rom would be enough in my experience... but I guess after wouldn't hurt either... your preference and time...
quick question about flashing these players can we put the roms straight to sd card and flash thru cwr or must we always flash thru odin?
what ROM are you using successfully?
what RoM did you use? Do all hardware features work? (wifi, camera, etc)
Do you have the Player 4 or 5? US Version?
I have the 5" US version and want a newer version of android than the one that came with it. When will 4.0 be available in a custom ROM? Any ideas?
klins rom with u.s. steve kernel 4.0 u.s
I think he was asking when an ICS port was gonna be available.
So far people are having a hard enough time getting CM7 or CM9 to port to our devices. So if ICS does make it to us, it's still a ways out.
so does anyone know if we flash just thru odin or can we flash thru cwr as well?

You can just flash Entropy's kernel with odin and it'll give you cwm. After you flash just turn it off and hold the volume up + power until it says Samsung, then you let go of the power button and that's it.

Not true. I have used GenericGinger for 3 months with maybe 2 crashes total. It's quite stable and fast, and the UI is much better than that one (of course, I use Go Launcher with any ROM), especially because it has an ICS theme (although it says beta, I've had no issues).

I completely agree. I've been testing this rom for a couple weeks and everything works like the stock rom did, if not better. It has awesome features. GenericGinger is also perfectly stable with the ice cream theme and has other features but not as much.
As soon as someone helps to fix the ice cream kernel I'm sure we will have allot more stable roms to choose from.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question:
Does Eryigit's Custom ROM GingerBread-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Release 3.5 INCLUDE Entropy's Kernal ??
or must you 1st install Entropy's Kernal BEFORE you install Eryigit's Custom ROM GingerBread-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Release 3.5 ?
Thanks in advance.

It comes with the kernel. Since you are using entropys kernel im guessing you are from the US meaning your stock is 2.3.x meaning the kernel is the correct format for the rom anyway so if for some strange reason it does not come with the kernel then you will be safe from brick in theory. And you can put entropys kernel on afterwards. You can check to see if it is there by going into cwm and if it isn't there then your on stock kernel (unless you all ready have another kernel on already)
But I am pretty sure that it comes with the kernel in.

You can't be too careful
Thank you Samwes.
I am from the US with stock SGP5 Model YPG70CWYXXA and I dread the chance of bricking, so I'm doing lots of homework by looking at and trying to understand various postings here.
KIES is working on my Windows PC, so my plan is to root via SuperOneClick and install Eryigit's latest tar file via the latest version of Odin. I read in the install instructions that you are supposed to:
(in Clockwork recovery mod : wipe cache partition ---> OK; Wipe data/factory reset --> OK;
advanced - wipe dalvik cache --> OK; after that install new rom , You must do it , clean installation.)
The stock version does not have Clockwork recovery mod, so do I need to do the Odin install twice? e.g. The 1st install to GET the Clockwork recovery mod feature, then go into Clockwork recovery mod to do the above "wiping", and then repeat the install via Odin again ??
Actually, once you've got Entropy's recovery mod installed, you can just use that to install other roms. Just copy the new rom file over (in a .zip) to your device, boot into recovery mode, and choose the right options. (It's fairly intuitive)
You say you dread the chance of bricking your device; if you're not prepared to accept and live with the possibility of doing so, perhaps terminally, then I suggest you not do it.
What, exactly, do you hope to gain by rooting and flashing a different ROM? Does the stock ROM lack some specific functionality that you want/need, or is it only for experimental purposes?
If you're just looking to gain the experience, then that's a perfectly valid reason to explore the flexibility of Android, but you must be careful in what you do, and realize the consequences of error.
Just do a backup in recovery before you flash..i did not now anything before i flash it and i brick it but people here help me to unbrick it and since then i know how and i flash almost every rom from here for testing.

I bricked my first device months ago because I didn't have any experience flashing stuff, I made a mistake, but now I know better.
Don't be afraid, just try it, but be informed first, now there's a lot more information about anything related to this device.

Yeah I should of researched more I was stupid, when I tried flashing a from with Odin it would work, so I reset the device and then when it rebooted I came up with the picture with the phone and then dots connecting it to a computer and then that didn't work with Odin either, so I was stupid and let the battery run all the way out because I though it would fix it but no. It got hard bricked and it now doesn't turn on. Hope any of you never make the mistake I did, and now I'm trying out a USB jig because I know its charging so there is still chance, if that doesn't work then I will have to take off the back plate and remove the battery and I will go from there, but for now I'm awaiting for my USB jig to arrive, it sucks.....
hi
About 8 months ago i got my Ace (first Android-phone) and since then have been waiting for cyanogenmod to be released for Ace. Now we have an Official RC3 and i wanted to try it. I rooted my phone some time ago and just installed CWM.
I know how to install a new mod/software but their are still some question left for me:
1.) If I install a complete new Software, why is a specific android version needed to install? (in case of CM7.2 its 2.3.X). What happens "behind the scenes" of an installation. It seems very different from installing a new OS on my desktop PC.
2.) This also results in the question, why do i have to roll back to a stock rom to flash a new rom? (most devs say "Stock rom X.X.X is needed")
3.) And this also results in the question, how do i install a new version of a mod?
For example: the nightlies for CM7.2 for ace. I read that i can just flash them over their predecessor, but a "clean" installation is recommended. Does that mean to flash a stock rom, and reflash a new nightly?
I hope that are not to much questions. They might be a bit redundant but i hope i could make my points
So far a good night (or whatever timezone your living in)
A Gingerbread 2.3.X baseband is required to flash any of the CM ROM and tweaks. You need to wipe data, cache and dalvik using CWM before installing a new ROM but you don't need to go to stock and reinstall everything. It is safe to flash another ROM after installing one...
Sent from my WAREZ impulses.
1.Behind the scenes---Format System to ext > Extract System Files > Install System > Flash kernel> Done!
2.Who said you need to roll back to stock every time you want to install a custom ROM?
3.For same type of ROM(same developer, same thread) just wipe cache and you're good to go or wipe data if bootloop occurs.
So my friend, just do the wipes correctly before installing new ROM and you have wrong info that you need to revert back to stock to install new ROM. ususally GB baseband is required. Nothing else
If the system partition is still formated, why is a (e.g.) 2.3 an installation requirement? OR it just this Baseband version on the phone that is important? AND is a mod also compatible with an already "moded" version from e.g. Vodafone? because this has another versionnumber (in my case S5830XWKP6).
It seems that i have a completely wrong imagination of the working principles of my phone. i always thought it might be like installing a new OS to my desktop.
I know that i have to wipe some things in order to install a rom (even though i also read a how-to post anywhere, that said it is unneccessary, but still doing it doesnt hurt.), nothing important on my phone what couldnt be backed up via USB (pictures, etc...)
@abhibnl: "GB baseband" => Great Britain?
because of bootloader/baseband. all custom rom is based on gingerbread, thus if u coming from froyo u need to flash with gingerbread stock rom first via odin to get the bootloader/baseband. but if u already on gingerbread theres no need to reflash stock rom. just wipe data, flash via clockworkmod recovery and u good to go.
btw gb=gingerbread
so if i install CM7 MIRACLE, do full wipe, i can install CM7.2 (official) just over it?

I was asking why is it necesary to flash with Odin from CM9, 7.2 to stock ROM; isn't there other way ?
would it be possible to get back to stock by using KIES?
i know many people hate it due to high memory requirements (dont care. 4GB installed awaiting use!), but all it does is flashing official roms, right?
curious because i never used it because i have Vodafone software and they...well: new releases + Vf = ´nuff said
Kies won't recognize your phone foro flashing if it's on custom roms (or even stock roms from other regions).
Odin does practically the same process of Kies at a considerably lower memory cost.
Another method of going back to stock is if you have a cwm backup of a stock rom, but before restoring the backup you have to convert your file System to rfs. almost All (if not all) custom roms use ext4 file System cuz its faster (native to Linux).

Yes you need to flash Stock ICS custom rom (via CWM recovery) or firmware (via Odin) before flashing any JB rom.
Yes you can flash any ICS firmware (but flash 4.0.3, for safety), or just flash any Stock based Custom ROM.

also even though i have backed up all the data, i keep reading not to restore data back onto the device after flashing a firmware/ROM. and to install all apps manually, is that true? or is there a better way to get all the apps onto the phone after i am done with installing AOKP?

1. No. Everything stored on your internal sdcard will be intact. Only your contacts, messages, applications and settings will be deleted. So you have to back them up
2. Probably yes.
What level are you now? Have you flashed the ICS firmware?
3. Never restore system apps and data. You can restore user apps but it's better you don't restore their data is possible.
How did you backup your data?

You can follow the flashing guide here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Also, don't repartition your phone. There's no need to do that.
1. Flash official ICS through Odin or Kies (for upgrading bootloader to ICS)
2. Root ICS stock ROM (boot to recovery, use fake recovery zip+through it flash siyahkernel, easiest because auto-root and no yellow triangle)
3. After getting Siyah, should reboot to recovery via CWM manager, wipe data/cache and format system then install AOKP JB-b4 and gapps.

3. After getting Siyah, should reboot to recovery via CWM manager, wipe data/cache and format system then install AOKP JB-b4 and gapps.

FINALLY!!! i got time to upgrade the phone to JB milestone1, it was a breeze and quiet simple. the phone has been running great love the interface through Nova launch. Kudos to AOKP team and all you guys for helping me out....
I find it strange that after i wiped the whole data/system, Devlik etc .. and installing AOKP, i still see most of the applications i installed on the phone, none of them were wiped. only apps that i downloaded through amazon apps are no longer there. is this ok?
Also i have few issues and need help with it.
1. I accidentally deleted the apps icon in the dock and not i am not sure how to get to them. can any one tell me how to bring back the Icon?
SOLVED -- long press on home screen and nova launch pops up ...
2. I am looking for a keypad icon or phone icon to bring up the dialer, in GB i could get there through contacts and scrolling to get to keypad.
SOLVED .. i am not sure how to bring that up here once i could go to apps i and drag the dial icon onto the dock
3. I want to create a shortcut to a folder on the SD card on the desktop, as i keep accessing few files in that folder can you tell me how to do this?
SOLVED .. long press on any folder on Root explorer and it gives an option to place a short cut for that folder
6. Also I tried installing Swype keyboard beta, has anyone tried installing it on SG2i9100 running AOKP milesone1? i cant get it to finish installing.
SOLVED .. works now .. sweeet
4. i would like to rearrange the app icons in the apps page (after clicking apps icon). a long press on any icon takes me to desktop, i cant menu click and do edit as like in GB to move icons around, any way to do this?
5. i tried changing the colors of the wireless signal and battery icons in the AOKP system menu, and they dont change colors. the icon can change into text etc ... but not colors, its the same with colors in notification bar, what do i do to make this work?

So I was having some issues with feedback during calls with almost all custom ROMS. I reverted back to the gingerbread stock rom via odin to see if it was just a ROM problem and I found the source of the initial problem. But now when I boot into the recovery, it won't flash any new ROM I want to go back to. I do the normal flash/wipe + the cache for good measure, and apply the zip and It'll say "Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (no space left on the device)." But I have 4gb free on my phone so i'm definitely not out of space. I've tried the AOKP JB rom, shoshock, and the newest cyanogen mod. No luck on any of them.
What am I doing wrong?
Tell us more details about your process, from stock through root and kernel, and we can help you out better.

Well the process is fairly straight forward. I think Ive explained the details as well as I can. I flashed the stock firmware through Odin and can't reflash any new rom or kernel. I made a nanbackup before doing this but the factory stocks kernel doesn't support backup/restore. I need to go from this old stock gingerbread rom back to shoshock or anything else to restore my backup.
In your explanation, I didn't see mention of how you rooted the device, or what custom-kernel you chose, or how (or if) you flashed the custom kernel. The stock recovery won't allow the installation of firmware that was not signed by Samsung, and Odin-flashing custom firmware is not the preferred method.
>>This Guide<< is the most up-to-date, and straight-forward method that I'm aware of for the I777, I highly recommend it.

Once you're rooted and kernel'd, and can tell us what android version firmware you're trying to get to, we can better suggest which custom kernel to flash prior.

Sorry for not elaborating. The stock ROM (the one i'm on now) thats flash-able through odin, is pre-rooted.
I got it from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
But other than root, its completely stock gingerbread, Stock kernel, Bloatware, ETC. I'm trying to get to at least jelly bean or higher. I was on the shoshock rom before I decided to revert to the factory rom to test some things out. The signed package thing you mentioned makes sense because signature verification fails whenever i try to flash a different kernel. But it wont let me flash any of the jelly bean ROMS either (refer to my first post's error).
I visited the link you provided, and want to give the method a try. But mobile odin lite has been giving me constant trouble. it keeps saying I need to install another ad on in order to flash stuff and when I hit OK, the link takes me to my browser, but doesnt direct me to the web page that provides the ad-on download. Where do I go from here?
The add-on that mobile odin is trying to download is the i777 flash kernel that it needs to perform its magic. It's in post #10 of the mobile odin thread. Whether you use mobile odin lite or pro, you need this flash kernel. I'm not sure why it wouldn't download it from within the app.

Thank you thank you! I will try this out when I get a break from my classes. IDK why it wouldn't either. Much thanks!

Just wanted to confirm that the mobile ODIN method worked and I now have my phone restored to how it was. Thanks again for all the help.
