Hi everybody,
I'm new at this forum and in the Android world and I have a few questions about the install process of the ICS CM9 on Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 3G.
1. If I want to backup my current ROM, do I have to be rooted to use ROM Manager to backup the ROM? And do I have to be rooted to restore that backup?
2. Can I UNROOT my device later? (The device belongs to my father's work and I don't want to take any chances with the warranty things.)
3. How to install the ICS CM9? I think I have all the files I need to so, I hust need the guide.
Thx for your help!! I really hope that I will get this thing going already!
Yes, you need to be rooted in order to install cwm through recovery and then make a backup (although you don't need rom manager. In order to flash ics you have to install pershoot's recovery with odin). You can unroot later, but you have to remove the recovery as well if you want your device to be covered by warranty for sure. So flash with odin a stock rom and you're ok BUT you may loose the data.
Listen, ics installation is tested and almost fool-proof. But bear in mind that a lot of things can/may go wrong and then you'll find yourself in a mess. Since that tablet doesn't belong to you, you should better leave it be, unless of course you have your father's consent and you have explained him all the risks involved.
It wouldn't be nice to find his tab messed up!

Thx for the answers, but my stock version is not in the site, trust me i searched. My ROM version is p7500jjkj1. Can you give me a link to that?
And if I back up my current ROM through ROM Manager, will I be able to restore my device from this backup? or do I have to download the stock version?
please help me...

Try to Google it. It may come up. You can backup your device through cwm but I would also find the stock firmware if you are going to want it in the future.

OP... Why are you so hung up on ROM Manager???
Just root using the Odin method mentioned, once you've rooted and have CWM installed just do all of your backing up, restoring and flashing through it. ROM Manager is nice and all but it has its own set of issues and all. Read and learn about what you are about to do... You'll be surprised how easy it is and you'll run into alot less problems.
Please put the ROM Manager down and step away.

Hi guys...
I have a galaxy s3 and up to this point I've been pretty satisfied with the original firmware...
However, I'd like to try out some of custom made ones, but since there's a big update on the way, I want to be safe doing so...
What I mean is basically this:
Can I somehow backup my stock firmware, try out some custom builds and then get the OTA update when it's available?
I don't really care about guarantee, but I'd really like the option to get OTA updates from samsung in the future (if I for some reason want to do so).
I remember an old post, where someone talk about this, but I can't find it
Please help me
Most definitely. You can find stock builds here in this forum and simply flash using ODIN to get back to stock firmware when you want to. Be advised this does wipe your data so have a good backup of it before hand.

And then it would be as my phone never were flashed and OTA and other samsung only stuff would work?
You will have to use triangle away or something like that to reset your flash counter if you want to send your phone to repair and make it appear as you have never flashed before but unless you break your phone, don't bother. And yes the other Samsung stuff should probably work.

If you flash your phone with a custom ROM for instance Resurrection Remix or Cyanogenmod you'd not directly be able to restore a stock ROM.
You will have to find one http://androidfirmwares.net that's for your region and flash it through Odin. Then you'll be able to update OTA and KIES.

You mean restoring from a nandroid? Because I was able to restore ICS whilst using JB - I did it multiple times.

Agree the advise given was plain wrong .
Nandroid restore a backed up stock rom yes yes yes .
The only but is that the backed up rom is of course rooted .

Okay... now I'm even more confused
Let me see if I get this right?
One way to do it would be to:
1) Download tools and rom (odin, CM and drivers etc)
2) Flash new cool rom
3) Donwload original samsung rom
4) Flash old boring rom back to phone
5) Use tool to reset counter (optional)
Now, my phone would like as if I had never ever rooted and flashed my rom
Is that more or less correct?

okay so I read through some of the threads and I still don't know how to fix my issue. I rooted my phone using Odin v 1.85 and used siyah 3.4.2. I did it successfully and everything was good. I then gave the phone to my cousin and he said he performed a factory reset to get rid of everything on the phone ( contacts ,etc). Now when I turn on the phone it shows the samsung galaxy display with the triangle and then the screen goes black and just blinks. It still goes back into download mode I just dont know what to do to fix the problem. I know I'm a noob but please HELP!!!
Development section. You'll find the stickies that show how to flash stock packages with Odin. Go back to stock to fix your issue. You should then be able to load a new kernel and flash a custom rom.
Oh, and never let that cousin touch the phone again.

You will need to root first. If you did not flash the stock plus root package already, flash that, and then install a custom kernel which has ClockworkMod Recovery. Then you can flash any firmware.
There is a good guide linked in my signature.

Thanks. I Used "Odin3 One-click Downloader I-777 UCKH7 Stock + Root No Bootloaders" to go back to stock.
I'm going to install Mobile Odin lite, I already found the flash kernel for the I-777. After installing both of these I should be good to flash the ROM of my choice by just putting the rom on the sd card right?

Flash a kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, then boot into recovery and flash the firmware. Mobile Odin can't handle the CWM flashable zip format.
There is a Siyah kernel for gingerbread that would give you CWM so you could then flash a custom rom. It would be in the development section. Just make sure you grab the version for gingerbread and not ics

I assume you mean nandroid backup from ClockworkMod Recovery? No. It's mainly a space issue, where you want to store them, because they take up quite a bit of space, especially if you have several.

Hi XDA
At the moment I'm on CM10.1 Nightly 20130507 but I miss some TW features and I want to go back to stock. Ofcourse I googled for some guides and found this one. This guide states that I can use Triangle Away on every rom and that I can flash stock firmware afterwards. On the thread of Triangle Away however, it says that I have to be on stock firmware before using it. Right now, I don't know in which order I shoulld do it.
Should I do a factory reset etc. on CM, then do Triangle Away and then flash stock back or should I flash stock fw, then root, then triangle away and then unroot?
Also, how do I know which firmware I should flash? My IMEI starts with 353, if that's important.
Thanks in advance

Have you thought about simply flashing a custom stock based rom? Wanam lite or omega? Best option IMHO

For now, I really want to go back to stock.
So you want to unroot completely? Er ok.
Well flash a stock based custom rom THEN run triangle away, then flash official stock rom.
Amazing what applying logic can do
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Well I find it akward that I have to flash another custom Touchwiz based Rom before I can do triangle away and flash a stock rom. In the guide I found, someone said you can use the guide no matter what's on your phone...
So then why did you write this thread???
I find it awkward that you miss touchwiz features so instead of flashing touchwiz, you're going to unroot. I can't say I get it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Well, now I'm on CM. I want to go back to stock rom + unrooted (let's say I need my phone ready for warranty).
So in that guide I found that I can use Triangle Away no matter what's on my phone, but on the official Triangle Away thread, I found that I should only use it on Stock firmware. It's contradictionary.
I'm not convinced triangle away works on my rom. It just says "reset" but on touchwiz roms, it actually reboots.... so not sure its doing anything
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
So can someome please give the steps in the right order to go from CM10.1 to STOCK TouchWiz firmware and to reset binary counter for my warranty?
I did but I'll repeat myself.
Flash rooted touchwiz rom
Use triangle away
Flash official rom
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Okay, I get it. I'll do it soon. But how do I know which official stock fw I have to download? #1234# doesn't work because I'm on a custom ROM.
Nvm, double post.
Pick a country. Pick a Carrier. Download the latest from sammobile.com

Am sorry for bringing this back up , but are these three steps enough to go back to stock?... I dont need to flash stock recovery etc as mentioned in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 ?
I rooted the phone, but know nothing about ROMS or if I even need one?
I rooted the phone so I can remove the bloatware & I was hoping for faster speeds out of the device as well.
Is there a ROM that the community generally considers the fastest/lightest stable ROM out there?
IMHO I've tried em all...
stock rooted OC5 update is the best
everything works.

I bought a used phone & it is on

Android version: 5.0
I plan to do a factory reset & then root the phone (I rooted a Galaxy Note 2 once, but I never installed a custom ROM before).
So when I "flash" that OC5 ROM, will it just be a de-bloated stock Samsung Note 3 ROM on the latest Loliupop update?
All the S-Pen & camera features of the phone will be intact?
Am I correct or is that a much more customized ROM?
Will I have to root it first before following the steps in that thread?

That's not a "flashable" rom in terms of using a custom recovery to do so, that is a tar that you use with odin and your phone in download mode. I would read some of the q&a threads in regards to updating from nk4 to oc5.

I'm on stock rooted lollipop right now, with Nova Launcher. I love it.
there is a fellow putting together a stock rooted deodex that works with Xposed over in the gen chat sect, and that's going to be great, should be released soon.
I'm not a fan of theming at all, and IMHO the more changes a person makes in a ROM, the more features ported and crammed in there, the buggier it tends to be... and that's not always true either, just my experience.

Correct. Lollipop was a different "type" of Android. So it's been catch up time for devs to figure out how to make the mods work on lollipop. It's all coming soon. There is also a list in general section of apps you can remove without worries.

You just said you are on the ROM you are trying to Download. N900P.12 5.0 IS the OC5 update. Go into Settings---About phone--- and read your base band...
