HI, I've been through all the forums before and fixed my tab from stock once before by loading ICS onto it, but now, about 6 months since I fixed it, it is again getting stuck just after the Samsung screen and wont load any more.
I have been through everything I did before to fix, but nothing is working this time. I am new to this but have a VERY general understanding on what to do.
I have flashed with various recoveries, and bootloaders, tried installing the ROMs again, but nothing works.
I am stuck and need help. can anyone give advice?

Okay, I'm no expert but I'll try to help you. What do you have available as "tools"? Recovery, download mode or both?

Thanks. Yes I can still go into recovery and download modes. I've tried running recoveries off Odin, it tells me their successful but it still doesn't work.

Hmm... Sounds slightly familiar with something I had a few days ago. I reflashed the stock 4.0.4 rom with Odin to fix it. Then did a full factory reset with the stock recovery. If you can still access your files when you connect your tab to your computer then this is the time to make a backup of everything you don't want to loose. I copied my nandroid backup back on my tab and it's just the way it was before I messed it up with a bad flash.

I'll give anything a try! I'm not worried about what's on the tab, I've already wiped it several times trying to fix it. So since I had the ics rom on it does that effect reflashing with a stock? I don't mind what rom I'm running just need it to work! Where do I download the stock rom? I have some pretty basic questions. .. So once I download the stock rom, I use Odin (any particular version?) and flash with the file in the pda section? Then reset to factory setting in the recovery mode. .. Is that how u did it?

Yes, download the stock rom from sammobile and flash it with Odin (I used 3.07) and (normally) you're good to go.

Sadly I don't know. I have the gt-p7510 WiFi so I can pretty much flash what I want. If you don't use your 3g on your tab I would be inclined to say yes, flash away. But if you do I would be cautious.

greetings all,
i have a new phone and unfortunately the phone came with a rom of our service provider t-mobile who but some custom apps witch can be only removed if the phone has been rooted.
of course i did some research on how to root my device but i get stuck and have no idea anymore how to root my device. i made luckily a screen capture.
could please someone help me how to root my device and send me links of file that i need during the root proces.
many thanks in advance.
Those pre-installed apps are part of your firmware, which is branded. If you want to get rid of them, flash one that isn't branded. And if you want your phone rooted too, just go with a custom-ROM.
If you need help with it, tell me what country you live in and what language you want your UI in.

you mean just instal a custom rom using odin?
This depends on your desired outcome.
Do you want a stock ROM, a custom-ROM, CyanogenMod or MIUI?

i want to use cyanogenmod or miui, i have no idea what the difference is between them but it seems to nice.
CyanogenMod is as close as you can get to the "naked" Android. It's like the nexus-series.
MIUI is like a mix of Android and iOS. Very simple, yet powerful and allows a lot of customization.

many thanks for explanation, so in my case i should probably choose for miui, so how do i get it on my phone?
First backup your data. You will have to factory reset your phone. What language is the UI in? I assume Dutch, but I'm not sure.
You can already download Odin and the Siyah-kernel (the tar version).
Edit:
Just checked your profile. ;-)
You can find ether latest MIUI on
www.miui.nl/
Tell me once you have all the files.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i downloaded the Siyah-kernel and also download the miui rom from miui.nl.
so what do i need to do next?
You need either Odin or Heimdall. In your case I'd go with Odin, as it's simpler to use and you won't need it much. So, download Odin and get the drivers working. Close KIES competely, put your phone into download-mode (turn off, hold volume-down & home, then turn it on) and connect it while Odin is running. It should detect your device.
I'll post the further instructions once you got everything working so far.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i am ready
When you are ready with Odin, make sure that Repartition and flash lock are NOT checked.
Auto reboot and f. reset time shall be.
Tick the "PDA" box and select the Siyah tarball. Then hit start.
When the phone reboots immediately hold volume-up and home until you are in ClockWorkMod.
Go to mounts & storage and mount the USB-storage. Put the MIUI-zip-file on your device, then unmount the USB-storage.
After that proceed like this:
Wipe data
Install zip from sd-card and choose your MIUI zip.
Wait till the installation is finished and reboot.
If your phone does not boot, go into ClockWorkMod and install again.

GingerMOD is also very close to pure AOSP. I'm actually considering going to it because it supports TV-Out via MHL, whereas CyanogenMod does not, as far as I know. Could be worth checking out for you.
use another kernel
hi it have worked for me too, but i have a question, could i use another kernel with a stock rom is this possible, im not that smart and have for the first time a smartphone the same as karamanoglu, i just got lucky to got my phone rooted, first i did a hard reset and it got in a loop by rebooting and going to the tmobile logo back and forth, so i got frustrated and decided to root it, but i dont like the custom rom and want it back to the stock rom, but am affraid it will get a brick with my luck. can i use the kernel bokg2 and with the original stock rom from samsung but still rooted and can delete the apps from samsung if i want, sory for the bad english.
Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

To be honest, I really don't know, like I said I'm coming from BB and still trying to figure everything out. Here's the link that I downloaded the ROM from:

If anyone has a link to a better ROM, I'm definitely open to try them out. I would just like to know how to fix the problem of not being able to install apps from the Play Store from my web browser.
You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Chainfire 3d will not work on jellybean. because all of the jellybean ROMS available are either leaked version of unofficial versions which are UNSTABLE versions. you will have to wait for the stable release of jellybean.
Those are NOT leaked versions.. google released JB sources for public .

Chainfire 3D will not work on JB as long as Chainfire will adjust the program, which, as I read in another threat will not happen soon as it is a lot of work (please correct me if I am wrong).
If you try to use Chainfire 3D on JB you will end up stuck on Samsung start screen.
Hence only way to use Chainfire 3D for now is use ICS.

I don't think by following that tutorial I made a backup so I don't think I can restore - or CAN I?
Can anyone help me out - THNKS

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

Thank you for replying.
That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

First try to get on the tutorial, from this sequence:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.
I have unlocked G5 and it is not Virgin Mobile - what now!
Thanks

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?
Thanks
I need to repost this question again. I didn't the answer I needed.
I have a Verizon Note 2 that I want to sell because I got the Note 3.
I need to go back to a stock ROM. I am rooted via TWRP. I am little new at this part of rooting. Can someone recommend a stock ROM I can use so I can get my phone ready for sale?
All I need is to find a Verizon Note 2 Stock ROM. I want to keep it rooted, but back to stock ROM.
I can't find one.
Can anyone assist me please!
THANKS!

Yes, I have. I just don't know if any of those pertain to what I want to do...does it?
I want to keep Rooted, but just have a stock ROM.
Do you know which link I need to do that from that page?

If you just want stock root and keep the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, you should be able to flash this in recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261478
If you want to re lock without custom recovery you're going to need help from someone else as I've never done it and wouldn't want to give you the wrong info.
