Hi forum
I just purchase a Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB No SD card version that comes preinstalled with Android 3.1 and it feels sluggish in use to put it midly.
Now I purchased the unit as an upgrade for my Galaxy Tab 7" which already runs the excellent Overcome Rom. I remember rooting and installing was extremely simple and easy but it has been a long while since I've done any such thing.
I'm looking for a complete guide to install the newest Overcome Rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and unfortunately the guide on the Overcome site is currently down for maintenance and I'm not allowed to post in the Overcome thread here on the site. I need help rooting the unit as well as I figure it's required to install the rom.
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Root using the guide in the dev section.
Once rooted, move the ROM to your root folder (sdcard/ )
Hold down power + Vol down, release power at the splash (still holding VD).
select recovery
select to install from zip
reboot after flashing

No need to root first. Also, you need CWM recovery before you can install the zip.
So, what you really need to do is:
1) Use Odin to flash CWM recovery (to get to download mode, hold power + vol down until you see a screen with two pictures - right one is download, left one is recovery. You select one by pressing vol up)
2) Plug the Tab into your PC or use a sharing program to copy the Overcome zip file to /sdcard/ of your device (it's the root directory if you open it up on windows, where folders like "Movies", "Downloads", "Pictures" etc. are).
3) Go to recovery, wipe data to insure a clean install, then proceed to flash the .zip
4) Give it a few minutes for first boot
Also, you might want to take a backup before you flash Overcomes .zip, just to be safe and if you ever want to go back to your original stock
All needed files can be found in the thread.
PS: Also, Overcome comes prerooted, so after flashing you'll have root. Make sure to run Superuser once before you try to give root to anything though.
Thank you so much both of you for the quick and informative answers.

Can you briefly explain how I flash with Odin correctly?
Do I only need the file called 002002-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6.zip, when flashing or to I need to include other files as well?
wouldnt you need to change the kernal too?
Follow the guide in the dev section I referenced.... after you have CWR (or overstocks) you can then flash the ROM.
Doesn't flashing a modded firmware with odin effect your flashcounter

Now I'm not 100% on this because it's been a while since I flashed CWM on my Tab so you might want to look up some guides or wait for someone else to explain it step by step.
First of all if you want to flash via Odin you need the .tar file, not the .zip one. You might even be able to flash the .zip with the stock recovery, but I wouldn't know (I didn't try it that way and the guide I was using said to use Odin). Here comes the part that I'm not really sure about - where exactly do you need to put the .tar - [Edit] seems you need to put it under PDA
And even though Overcome comes with their version of CWM recovery, a "normal" one should do the trick also - so you can just follow one of the guides on the net to put that one on your tab. When you flash Overcome ROM it'll also flash their version of CWM anyway.
As for the kernel, Overcome comes with stock kernel - if you want anything extra (OC for instance) you will want to flash pershoots kernel with CWM.
I'm grateful for all the help you guys have been giving.
For future reference how to use Odin is right here :
Flashing a Custom Recovery●►
Go into the same root folder as before.
Double click the root application named "Odin3_v1.85.exe"
Select PDA
Double click the clockworkmod recovery file labeled "recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5" to select it.
Click Start
Once it is complete, you can close the program
The root folder comes from a root.zip which is located in this thread :

hi im having trouble getting CWM to work on my Rogers (GT-P7500R) WIFI+4G to accept CWM, I have trying to flash it and it sends my galaxy tab into a boot crash...I had to to restore it to stock kernel with ODIN 1.85 which worked fine, but still on the stupid default recovery (I HATE IT). as soon as I try and flash it with the CWM it simply turns off the tablet and then when I power on again, it shows the samsung galaxy tab logo for a second and then turns off again, then i use odin to flash stock and it works normal again, no data lost at all...any help plz, cause without CWM im pretty sure i cannot do other stuff like custom rom, kernels, overclocking...HELP!!!!!!!!!! im pretty sure this has a signed only bootloader right?? thats why i need something other then 3e recovery to be able to flash stuff
FIXED!!!!
so see below
Good work
Keep us posted! I pick mine up tonight and will be following your foot steps haha thanks for the info so far.
Hi,
so here is how to get clockworkmod on the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (GT-P7500R)...I looked around XDA for hours before finding some useful info...here it is:
Step 1
download these files:
http://www.4shared.com/file/KbSJhFtI/recovery-cwm_4004-sam-tab-101t.html
and
http://www.4shared.com/rar/74D8ERjO/Odin_v185.html
Step 2
extract the odin zip file and run odin, by right clicking first and say run as administrator...reboot the phone into download mode (ask me if u do not know how , there will be a warning and then a screen with some text in the upper left, connect you device to the usb, and back in odin select the bootloader check box and click browse to the right and select the other recovery-cwm file u downloaded and click start, it should take a short time and you will see a progress bar on the screen...viola, you will have clockworkmod
OPTIONAL: if you want to root it at this time, just follow below:
Download this file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/cVgtnw_t/Galaxy_root.html
Step 3
put the file in root of the device and reboot into recovery mode (ask me if u do not know how and select update from zip and select the file, then its done and done.
OPTIONAL: if you want to put a custom kernal on, so that you can overclock it to 1.4 ghz, like I have then follow below...it worked and works fine for me
Download this file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/vWdGcQcr/boot-cm_26364_p4_ux_hc32-oc-xt.html
and follow from step 3 again.
PS: I also have a stock kernal for the rogers edition of the galaxy tab if needed, if u mess it up in the future
Overcome has a good working version of cwm and custom rom that install easily on the Rogers Tab -- the OC kernel by Pershoot works fine. The custom rom by Genbarou also installs well.
Im also on XDA on my tab too...

I was able to load the CWM Recovery onto my Rogers 4G Tab, however I flashed with the files from here initially:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
using the 4G Recovery and Kernel files. This created nothing but boot loop. I was then able to use the CWM file from this post and get CWM to boot however that is all I can do at this time.
I cannot get the device to connect to PC for usb storage (to potentially load a bootable rom) while in CWM as it says "unable to open ums lunefile (no such file or directory).
I believe the kernel.zip file from the other post has messed up my device. Does anyone have a Stock Rogers Kernel, or custom that is flashable via ODIN so I can at least get back to Android OS and load a Rom via USB?
Also can someone repost the Galaxy_root.zip file. I cant download from 4shared. Keeps timing out to file not found. THANKs

I dont know if this will help but you need to know that its not a 4G, its actually 3G+ so if you want to root, dont use the 4G method
I installed the cwm without any problem by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
and by following this :
RETAIL 3G
[GTP7500]
1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
rooted already
For CWM
1. After rooting download and install Rom Manager from market.
2. open Rom Manager app and have it install clockwork Mod to your device, you should see your device listed within Rom manager.
3. Done.
I was unable to even get the device to recognize by PC. I could not load any zip files. Luckily I found a P7105 fille ODIN file that I was able to load. however it is a WIFI ONLY version I have. However it has enabled me to boot back to android and load files via usb. I am going to try OVERCOME 10.1 and hope that applies the necessary root as well as 3G access.
will report back

Can confirm. Installing CWM then flashing Overcome FULL did wonders. Back up and running. 3.2 android and 3G+ service active.
WAAAHHOOOO! XDA to the rescue!
Some rom?
Hello, thanks for the tutorial, I'm from Venezuela and I have a 7500R if anyone needs Spanish translation let me know. Will you have some rom recommended for a 7500R
Sorry for my English.
I want to confirm that rooting method post here work great.

1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
Note 1: The downloaded file is not named Root.zip. You can of course rename it yourself.
Note 2: To enter recovery mode, after you use vol- to highlight the recovery icon, power button didn't seem to work in selecting it. But you just wait for a min, it'll work.
Note 3: It only takes seconds to load and run the Root.zip. Then you are good to reboot, and it's done.

i need to go back to stock os i find some that say stock but when i go into my STATUS my IMEI is UNKNOW IMEI SV is UNKNOW the sim card not reading please help
So, I just picked up a GT 10.1 (ditched my iPad 2). Currently, my laptop is with a friend for a couple of weeks. I have this PC at work, but I'm not in IT anymore and have lost admin privledges, so I can't even mount as a drive at this time. I have an OLD pc in the garage at home that I could set up, but we are talking 3-4 mintues to open a browser, so it's functionally worthless...
This GT is a bit laggy and whatnot on the stack ROM, which I didn't expect since my Asus Transformer had similar specs and was not, but that's fine since rooting and a custom ROM should fix this. So, is there a way I can Root and Update the ROM WITHOUT having to use a PC?
Thanks
Unfortunately you need a windows to use odin, once you flash the recovery no more need...

Thank you though...
You might try on the work computer since you don't need to mount a drive or install any software. Run the Odin program and connect the tablet in download mode and see if it finds it. If so, just flash the CWM and you're golden.
After that, since you can't mount the device, you can download ROMs directly to the device, or get a program called "wifi file explorer" from the market to transfer files from your computer without mounting it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are some signed superuser zips on the superuser website. Maybe you can flash those in the stock recovery. I may be wrong though. Idk if the recovery is looking for a specific file signature or just any file signature

Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Without a Computer!
I just came across this thread because I had the same question.
I figured out a solution. This is a bit of a headache, but in the end it worked for me. Try at your own risk.
Do all of the following directly on your device:
1. Download tabrooteasy.zip. You can find a link from galaxytabhacks . com.
2. Use a file manager (File Expert is my fave) to decompress the file and locate Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip.
3. Turn your tab off, then restart in recovery (hold Power + Vol Down, on the screen after the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen, let go quickly, press Vol Down, then press Power).
4. Choose the "apply zip from SD card" option in the stock recovery, then go to Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip and flash it.
5. Restart your tab and after it boots, go into SU and update the binaries.
Your tab is now rooted!
If you want to flash something else, the easiest way to me would be to download Rom Manager and flash CWM. Then download whatever you want to flash and either flash through Rom Manager or use Rom Manager to restart in recovery and flash manually through recovery.

Hi friends...
The stock ICS recovery looks a bit advanced,because you can apply updates from Cache!but that's not the point...
In stock recovery(of any kind) you DO NOT have the option for applying a custom zip package,you can try applying update.zip instead,so try renaming your update package...I didn't test it but am gonna' stock in some days' time...

You should ask in the galaxy tab 4 forum on a thread that's not been dead for three years.
Also, when you do so you'll need to give a lot more information. At a minimum you'll need to 1) explain what you're trying to do; and 2) recreate the steps that got you to the problem.

chance someone knows where i can find the files described here to root
The original website no longer has them
Please help > This is my question pls help me PLEASE HELP ME
I am no longer supporting this version of CF-Root. I have personally moved away from permanent custom recoveries. I will still be providing roots by way of CF-Auto-Root (click). The downloads in this thread will remain available, I just won't be updating them.
.
.
.
.
.
If you just want to get your device rooted ASAP, see this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root. This thread is for the recovery only.
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. This stuff is made for the GT-I9300 and GT-I9300T, if your model number has a suffix, it may not work, or if it is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
Not compatible with ROM Manager ! Use the CWM Manager provided instead.
Here's my port of CWM 5.5.0.4 to the SGS3. There's a second version number in the thread title, as I think there will be multiple versions.
As is the case with every SGS release (it happened with the SGS1 and the SGS2, and now again with the SGS3), CWM source isn't built to correctly deal with our setup (internal storage vs sdcard). I had to make a number of changes to the source to get it working correctly. From my tests, it all seems to work, but it's quite possible I missed something (report issues).
(I have tested backup/restore to both internal and external storage, wipes, installing zips from both internal and external, etc, all works as I expect it to)
Aside from the base fixes, there is currently nothing fancy about this build of CWM. I'm not sure if the SGS3 suffers from the brick bug (that SGS2 and Note have), but I patched out the relevant code to be sure (I think). Backups are rather big, system alone is about a GB.
I'll do more some other day!
Instructions - Short
Extract the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y zip file, to get the tar file you can flash in Odin as PDA.
Instructions - Long
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Unzip the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.zip file
- If you end up with a recovery.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.tar
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it.
Navigation
In recovery, use the volume buttons to move up/down, power or home button to select, and back to go back.
Manually rooting
Note: if you're just flashing CWM to root, it is easiest to follow this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root.
Applying root once you have this recovery installed is easy.
- Go to the SuperSU thread and download the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file attached to the first post
- Put the zip file on your sdcard (either internal storage or external sdcard will do)
- Put your phone in recovery mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-up + home + power to boot - release power after one second) - Alternatively, use the "adb reboot recovery" command
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from internal sdcard" (depending on where you put the zip)
- Select the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file
- Done !
Root in ADB
If you root through recovery and are not running a custom kernel, chances are that ADB does not have root when Android is booted. You can enable root in ADB even on stock kernels by using the adbd Insecure app. This does require the device to be rooted!
When flashing a new firmware ...
... you probably want to keep recovery. Most stock firmwares include the stock recovery, so if you flash those with Odin this recovery will be overwritten. Alternatively, if you are using Mobile ODIN to flash, first open the firmware files you want to flash using the "Open file ..." entry (sometimes several times), then select the "Recovery" entry and press the "Clear" button in the popup. This way, recovery will not be overwritten.
CWM Manager
Also attached is CWM Manager, a tool I wrote to manage my CWM kernels and recoveries. Download the APK to your device and open it to install. You may need to go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administration first and enable Unknown sources.
Note that v1.1 or newer of my CWM build is required to use CWM Manager.
Flash counter
To reset the flash counter to 0, see the Triangle Away thread.
OTA's
Since v1.5, flashing OTA updates is supported directly using this recovery. You should however be aware that said OTA will most likely re-install stock recovery and remove this one. Furthermore, it may keep doing so every time you boot. CF-Root v6.3 (and newer) will try to disable this, it is advised you flash that. Just reflashing this CWM recovery will likely not help.

Recovery installed successfully.
But when I run ROM Manager, it says that I don't have any CWM installed. For example, if I choose the option "Copy current ROM", it issues the following message: "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing!. Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."
I'm willing to DONATE and PAY for your time - to anyone that can put together a comprehensive set of information to assist me.
I have An At&t Galaxy Note with the 4.03 I717 UCLD3 version loaded on it. I have been toying around with rooting it, and trying to load custom roms, my head is spinning with all the posts.
I'm new, and like many people I have issues when I read the posts on this forum as there is no complete guide to load a new Root, find, and load a new ROM.
When the latest ICS was released a few weeks ago, I went to upgrade and my note will not upgrade with Kies since the counter has been tripped and it has the UCLD3 version on it.
Does anyone have the best ROM to load on the note, or can you explain in clear instructions how to get it back to 100% Stock so I can upgrade with At&t ( I'd rather not this approach, I'd love to get the junky At&t stuff off )
What I'm looking for:
1. A complete guide to root, and load a ROM that has everything the stock phone has, without the At&t bloatware ( IE: 4G, Spen support, compatible with samsung apps, keyboard etc.. )
2. A guide to bring the phone and counter back to 100% stock, so that it can be upgraded by Kies if no one can provide #1 above.
Thanks - I appreciate the help.
1. Get cwm HERE the Odin version.
2.once downloaded right click Odin and run as administrator, then click on the PDA slot and load the .tar you just got
(I'm sorry i don't have s link for Odin, shouldn't be too hard to find)
3 put phone in download mode by powering off, then holding volume down and power, then when prompted volume up.
4.connect to usb that's on a usb port in the back of the pc, no front ports or hubs.
5.when you get a yellow box with a :com: number in Odin hit start.
6a.(optional).no need to root first the Rom is rooted, only reason to root first is if you want to use titanium backup to save your apps and their settings.
For root, you'll need to find the su zip that's floating around and flash that in recovery first.
6b.(also optional)boot into recovery by holding all three buttons, both volume and power, then when you feel a vibrant let go of just the power button, go to backup and restore, abs make a nandroid backup of you're current set up.
7.go here for flappjaxxx latest stock based build.
Put that on your phone someplace you can get to without a bunch of navigating. Internal or external doesn't matter.
8.boot into recovery, go to wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache.
9.go to install zip for sdcard, now if you put the Rom on external the top option "from sdcard" is what you want. If internal the one on bottom that says "from internal sdcard" navigate to where you saved it, then confirm the flash.
Once done, boot into your new Rom and enjoy,
Not completely complete, but your welcome.
No donation needed, but i won't refund it if you were to feel the need lol
Agreed. I switched to twrp but cwm recovery is more user friendly/common
Pm me if you have any?s
ok 1st u will need to download this Root/CWM/ODIN
you will 1st need to put your phone into downlaod mode: power off phone - HOLD VOL DOWN + POWER, once you get the screen that shows Press VOL UP to get to download Mode, (make sure you have the Samsung USB Drivers installed) plug in USB, you will see the COM port in yellow (it does not matter which port number) then click on PDA and navigate to the cwm-touch-i717-120409.tar.md5 and click on start, you will reboot and you have CWM installed that is used to install roms and other stuff (to get in to CWM when device is powered off HOLD VOL UP + DOWN and press the POWER until u feel the 1st vibrate, once you see the 1st Samsung logo, u can let go), then flash Flash Counter Reset through CWM (this will reset your count in ODIN so it will not void warranty. I then use TWRP Recovery Instead of CWM i like the GUI better, just flash with CWM.
ROMS: no as for roms i love Hybrid roms, which makes it a tablet and Phone, i love Paranoid Android you can download here in either ICS or JB, these are already rooted so no need to do all then.
Instructions on Installing ROMS:
1. once you download the roms, move to External SD
2. make a back up with CWM or TWRP, just click on back up and u r done. on TWRP make sure to click on all boxes.
3. Once backed up u will want to do a factory reset, wipe dalvic Cache (in cwm it is under advanced) and wipe cache partition. (some roms will have different instructions but mainly the same)
4. once you r done flashing the rom. reboot and u r done
To Go back to stock you will go here: STOCK ROMS for i717 just download the one u want and you just flash it through ODIN, but if you have CWM or TWRP there is really no need for #2.
Need some help here...
I flash the cwm using odin but then it restarts the phone right after. Then I turn the phone off and go into recovery and I still see the stock recovery.
What am I doing wrong?
BTW the flash count is also going up each time I do it.

OK, so my plan is to Flash my USA Galaxy Player 5.0 with Entropy's Kernel and Chip v1.5 ROM, and I think I've got the general idea down (first time at this, so this is still new and scary):
1) Backup data (Already done)
2) Factory Reset to clear out everything
3) Use Odin3 v1.7 to Flash Entropy's Kernel
4) Use Odin3 v1.7 to Flash Chip v1.5
5) Enjoy newly improved Galaxy Player, and begin the re-install process for all my apps.
The questions I have that I cant seem to get straight:
1) In the How To Flash with Odin/Heimdall tutorial, it says to use the .tar file for the ROM/Kernel. On Entropy's Kernel page, it has downloads for a .tar from back in January of this year, and a .zip from March. It looks like the march one is the latest updates, but how do I use them/install from a zip? I notice the instructions directly above the install, but as far as I can tell, there isn't a way to use CWM for the Galaxy Player. My Player is rooted, should I just go with the 'Any rooted device' instructions, using the .zip? Will that work for a first time?
2) Chip's instructions recommend re-installing the kernel again after flashing his mod. Has anyone found this advice helpful? If so, should I try using Odin to do it or the terminal emulator?
3) I want to re-install Swype and some of the default stuff after installing Chip v1.5, thus Addon Pack 1 is needed. Again, it says flash with CWM, and it's a zip file...
That's all I can think of right now. I know I'm being overcautious, and after the first time or two I won't think hardly anything of these details I'm asking for, but for right now I'd really appreciate any help I can get!
the only thing i used odin (make sure youre in download mode of course) for was to flash entropys .tar file (DD_01142012.tar) which now lets you have cwm recovery on your device. and then i rebooted put entropys DD_03052012.zip onto my sdcard, and i also put chip1.5-1-signed.zip onto sdcard in same spot. then i rebooted into cwm mode by powering off and then holding power and vol+ button together till u see first samsung screen then let go of power button but not vol+button, when u see cwm menu then u can let go. then i scrolled down to 'install zip from sdcard' and click on it and goto the DD_03052012 first and install that, once thats finished, then i installed chips rom, and did entropys kernel again (just in case he says) then just reboot from the cwm menu. dont forget to make nand backup after you have chip installed just in case, or even make a nand backup before chip installation, or both its up to u, i did both just cuz. :highfive:
So everything looked like it was going good, then I got into a boot loop right after I installed Chip v1.5. I'm trying to go through the instructions to fix that now, but before that everything was nice and easy. Thanks for your help!
Did u do a wipe data and clear caches before chip? If u haven't then do it now and reinstall everyhing

For those who might be reading this in the future, to clear the boot loop I used the instructions here, which got my Player back to factory settings (it was more of a hassle to download the recovery ROM than it was to actually restore the Player). I re-tried installing, got boot looped again, then went to CWM ->Advanced ->Clear Delvik Cache . I remembered seeing this in the other instructions, I just mistook it for deleting the normal cache/data. Once I deleted it things worked fine, and things are looking good so far!
Moral of the story: Installing custom ROMs is easier than you think, although there are some little things that might trip you up for a little bit.

Whipe everything and dalwick cashe also..and then wait ,first boot is always longer because its formating cashe.
But if you dont have cwm and you want to flash some kernel which is in boot.img format packed in zip (i had few situations like that when i could not enter cwm ) since SGP dont have fastboot mode only way to flash it is try Odin ,download samsung note 2 tools (find it on xda ,there is thread for that) and with that tool you can convert .img to Tar ,just before conversion you rename boot.img in to zImage ..after it creates tar you can flash it with odin normaly ( add in pit section)

I'm fairly certain you flash .tar files with odin, and .zip files in clockworkmod recovery. If you need cwm, you can flash a custom kernel with it installed already through odin. Try terrasilent or steve's kernel if you have the 4.0, for the 5.0 I'm not sure.
