[Q] [ganbarou] Do I need to update CWM? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am new on this forum. Hope to be making a good contribution here.
I have been looking at the JB4.3 ROM for P7500, called Ganbarou.
Now it says something about having a recent version of CWM.
What version is the minimum required to flash Ganbarou?
And if update is needed, how do I do that?
I have CWM 5.x.x.x
regards,
HaMaHe

Can i Install radio on its own?

Hi
Can I install Radio on its own on unrooted g2 Touch
the radio version i m talking about is 63.509.26 downloaded from CK Driod rom post.
Kind Regards
No you cant until new recovery image flashed. Likes Amons latest. Because radio roms are update zip format.
Like Lucan said, you'd first need to install a custom recovery image. Then you could install any compatible radio you want. No need to install a whole new ROM or anything like that.
Thank you both for your help much appreciated....
Kind Regards

few questions and which good rom to choose

Hi all,
it can be a very N00B question but this thread is a mess and I can not find things I really need.
I succesfully rooted and completely modified both HTC G1 and the new Galaxy Nexus, but now, a friend of mine has this LG P500 and im looking around trying to find all the necessary to root - recovery etc ..
now..
I will use SuperOneClick because it is a 2.3.3 Android FW.
I will Flash AmonRa recovery 3.06 found in a P500 Android development Thread, as flashable zip.
Im gonna use .35 kernel from Franco, 'cos Im using it on my GN and it works like a charm.
But, I cannot find a good rom!! is there anybody who can help me?
This phone now is:
kernel 2.6.35.10
android version 2.3.3
the only things I know
Thank u all!
you can use the kang version by adam. It is CyanogenMod 7.2.

For the recovery, i will suggest you use ClockWorkMod. Download it from the market. The latest version is 5.0.0.6 and please be ensured to flash the 5.0.2.0 recovery version as the latest version is buggy.
I'm downloading it!! thank you
do you know if there is any new Radio ? I can't tell you which baseband this phone is using now btw, she cant find the "version" from "about phone"

If you before had stock gingerbread then you had the new baseband version. If not, you need to flash the new baseband as all new roms are now based on new baseband.
Follow this link for flashing new radio.

[Q] Question about updating android version from 4.04 having flashed Omega 9.xx

EDIT: [SOLVED] - For anyone following in my footsteps, ROM Manager is useless when flashing between android versions. You need to perform a wipe first so back up apps, SMS and internal SD card files. These threads were most helpful:

ONE STOP GUIDE TO FLASHING S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32664054
Hi there,
A year ago I rooted and flashed my phone to Omega 9.xx from stock. Unfortunately, I haven't paid attention to anything since and have only just realised I'm still running 4.04 and a really outdated custom ROM.
So my question is how do I update to Jellybean 4.12/4.22?
I tried flashing to Cyanogenmod using ROM Manager/CWM Touch recovery yesterday to no avail. I got as far as the boot screen where it would stick so I had to restore my nandroid back up.
Is this due to compatibility with my outdated Android version? Do I need to update it before flashing a new custom ROM? I was under the impression flashing the new ROM would auto-update android from 4.04-4.14 - am I mistaken? Details in my signature and my provider is vodafone UK.
Thanks in advance for you help - it's much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I read the entire first post but am still having a little trouble understanding where to go from here.
Do I need to flash my stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM? This part of your guide suggests I do not:
However, if you immediately plan on flashing a ROM, there's no need to root your existing ROM. Simply skip straight to installing a recovery. Backup then flash what you like.

So perhaps I just need to flash a custom ROM using CWM. But I tried this and it didn't work. I have searched a multitude of forums (spent 8+ hours) but to no avail. Nothing specifically references how to update from an old android version/custom ROM.
I have backed up my apps and system data with Titanium backup, got a nandroid backup, installed ROM Manager and Mobile Odin Lite (with the kernel add on) and tried flashing cyanogenmod9 using CWM but it failed - if you could just drop me a line pointing me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Kind regards,
Kelevra

[Q] Updating Custom ROM via Built-in Software Update

I have searched for this simple question, but have yet to find an answer.
I have a custom Android 4.2.2 ROM (for my SGH-I337M) (I cannot provide a link as this is my first post) and I have received a notification asking me to update to the latest version on Android (4.3). I would, but I'm not sure if it is safe to do so via this method. The main reason I have not done this is because after installing this ROM, my model number changed for SGH-I337M to GT-i9505. By doing this, my reasoning is that the update downloaded is for the GT-i9505 and may not be compatible.
Now for the question, is it safe to update my phone this way?
The main reason I'm not using the Android 4.3 link is that my Mobile Network State will not change from Disconnected in that ROM.
While I'm at it I may as well ask this. If I do update this way, and it doesn't work, would a simply recovery from TWRP be OK?
Thanks in advance, and my apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section, I could not find one that was specific to my issue.

Firmware update, how to, where and what?

Hi,
I apologize in advance for this question.
I'm new to this flash thing.
So first of:
Is updating the firmware to the latest one a good idea in general?
How do I find out what firmware I have?
How do I find the firmware I need?
Where do I still find firmware for these old phones?
Are there any benefits for updating all this before I attempt to install a custom rom and / or a custom kernel?
How do I actually make a full backup of everything if there ever might occur an error or mishap?
(Must guides I find online are awfully outdated or suggest software that may not actually work)
Thanks in advance
Sincerely
Julian
