HC 3.2 P7310 P7310XAR P7310UEKJ5
Here is a stock 3.2 ROM for P7310 (WiFi) that I built from a system.img and boot.img from P7310XXKJ4(thanks nirogu325!). This is good for folks that like stock and can't flash with ODIN and for ROM bases\components etc.
CWM Recovery flashable (system and stock kernel included)
Install wipe caches, dalvik cache, and replaces the system partition. It will not touch /data unless you do so in CWM (see install below).
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Rooted + busybox
Removed the plethora of annoying widgets from the home screens that came from the factory.
Removed some DOA 0 byte APKs (AndroidTabletGNA_v1.apk, BoxAndroidApp.apk, WeatherBugTablet.apk, and SamsungHelpCenter_P7310_v001.apk)
Works great with my v2 kernel for HC 3.2 If you had my kernel already, you need to reflash it after flashing this zip since it contains the stock kernel.
Note: This ROM is deodexed. It will boot slow the first time and apps will load slower the first time you use them. It will then get faster, so give it a chance.
MD5 36bf2f8659b6f8087bdbf31ba370fe87
StockHC32_P7310XARP7310UEKJ5.zip
Backup:
Backup your existing ROM with CWM first.
Install Fresh:
Wipe data\factory reset from CWM recovery and flash the zip. When it boots, it will start the setup wizard like you just bought it.
Upgrade:
If you have stock 3.2 KJ4, you may be able to get way with just a flash without wiping data. It seems to be working OK for me. If you have any issues, I recommend installing fresh. This worked great for me as well.
As-is...I will provide no support for this stock ROM.
Thanks a lot! Gonna flash this tomorrow (almost 12am here lol). Will let you know how your kernel goes on my tab this time (crossing fingers).

Overcome CWM Recovery - Nandroid Backup procedure: Go to the CWM Recovery > Nandroid menu > Backup or Restore. This ROM is already rooted if that was your last question.
Curious little typo Samsung made in the MTP Application, when you connect it says "MTP initialisation" instead of initialization. This is also present on the previous KJ4.

Lol yeah. It was with a "z" in KHA. So far this firmware's quicker than KHA. Got it OC'ed (with your kernel) up to 1.4 and UV'ed -75 only the higher freqs. All is well.

This firmware was leaked by samfirmware.com (soon to be sammobile.com). It is a stock ROM as the title says, but it is a leak (as in let's say a beta firmware), a stable one as I've had it installed since the 3rd of this month. If you'd rather wait for an OTA then you're welcome, it's all your choice. Be sure to follow instructions and you'll be fine with no bootloops. Don't be afraid to ask if help is needed.
So..XAR = EU and KHA=US I assume?
I think I read on overcome thread, saying there is no hardware difference between regions...just localized apps....which means ROMs are interchangeable?
Thanks for your time, guys!
Hey Motley!
Will there also be a 3G version of this rom? I'd like to install a stock android 3.2 rom to my 7300 but I don't find a version that is flashable with CWM recovery.

US region is XAB me thinks. Oh and it doesn't matter which region you choose since you can choose your preferred language at the startup wizard.

Sorry, this is just a stock Wifi-only ROM that is prepped for CWM flashing. nirogu325 pointed you in the right direction for the equivalent stock ROM for the 7300 (3G), but you have to use ODIN to flash.
The 3G folks really need someone to do some CWM conversions for the stock 7300 ROMs so you don't have to use ODIN all the time. ODIN is great for low level recovery when all else fails, but it really sucks for day to day use as well as for avid ROM flashers since you have to re-root and re-install recovery etc. If you do go through all these things, at least make sure you do a CWM backup so you have a quick way to flash back to stock next time.
When you say stock do you mean no TouchWiz or stock as in just a rooted/deodexed version of the standard Samsung ROM? I'm looking for a plain Honeycomb 3.2 ROM. I'm downloading this anyway but if someone responds before it'll save me a bit of time Thanks!

There are no 8.9 ROMs that lack TouchWiz yet. If you want lag out, change launchers. I suggest ADWLauncher EX due to its new hardware acceleration functions in tablets.
Yeah I've been using ADW and its great. It's just a few little things with TouchWiz that I don't like... I want a stock (black) launcher bar on the bottom and black system menu & browser.

I can help you out with the bar and toggle menu, but not the browser and Settings, I'm afraid. Here's a CWM flashable I made with images from the old Overcome 1.2 ROM and a revert just in case.

3.2 ROM issue with IMAP email client
Hey all,
I flashed this ROM and it works great with one exception. I use IMAP email which was working fine in 3.1 and works fine now with a 3rd party email client but with the mail app in this ROM all IMAP folders are empty. Sending emails through smtp okay but syncing IMAP results in only retrieving folders but all empty.
Any help or alternative is welcome, I don't want to go back but my only option is now POP or 3rd party IMAP app (which I don't like - they are all for lower phone resolution).
Thanks
Good evening all,
Basically I'm looking to root my girlfriends fathers U8800, it's currently running android 2.2. He's complained that its got major battery drain so I figure I can find a ROM here that can help that.
I've read there are 3 different types of models for this handset. How do I know which one we've got? If that's relevant?
I've found this thread that seems dead easy to follow, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728 , am I ok to proceed?
When I've rooted it, do I just flash a rom via CWM like I would with my galaxy s? And will I be caught out with bootloader issues or little things like that?
Thanks in advance.
If the device is the U8800 regular model(not pro or plus) you can follow the guides of the link.
And yes, you can flash a rom from cwm recovery.
Only one suggestion. If you flash the latest stock gingerbread rom(I think is the 522), search for a thread called "get your pink screen back" on developing section. The after 518 versions have the bootloader locked, and on the above thread you will find how to flash the unlocked bootloader from 518 stock rom.
Thanks for that, I'll get on it tomorrow with an operational head. I'll do the pre root checks and make sure I have everything I need in place before I get going.

If the device is not yours I suggest you to do nothing. There's no better Rom, in terms of bug free than the original one.
Custom roms always have this or that and will require attention, which I'm sure your fatherin law can live better without these issues and concerns.
This devices have an high consumption and he has to get used to it.
Now if the device was yours meaning you would be using it daily, than i would advise you to install aurora. I don't like it but have to admit that is very good and stable.

Did you look to see what is causing the battery drain? I have a friend with a stock GT540 that had serious battery drain. Turns out it was the GoSMS program. Deleted the app and now his phone lasts 5 days between charges. Switching a rom won't help if the problem is an app.
1) Get cpu spy and see if it is going to deep sleep
2) If not sleeping, turn off running applications one by one and test via cpu spy to find out which one is causing it not to sleep.
3) Either remove the offending app or use Autorun Manager to modify the receivers (if rooted)
You can fix his problem without changing his rom. If he wants root, superoneclick can root 2.2, I just used it the other day. Also make sure he is on the latest 2.2: b138sp04 or b163. I prefer b163, even though it is the China rom, because I like the Huawei launcher better that stock.

That's not true... official 2.2 is the slowest thing in existence. If he just needs stability then Ezets CM7 is the answer. There are no bugs with it (except wifi tethering) and it's much much faster than stock...
Also he can undervoltage it to preserve battery life more than stock ROM.

You want the best 2.2 you try Void Eridanus. Everything works.
Want the speed, OEX rom it's a Ferrari. Everything works less the mms with data off.
You can also keep the stock Rom, root it and just apply a ffranco kernel. This way you gain the speed.
3 good solutions here.
I'm don't revert to stock Rom for 2 reasons, cam quality and battery life, otherwise i would use stock Rom without a shadow of a doubt.
In terms of stability and all working it's stock 2.2 Rom and this is unquestionable!!!
I have been trying ALL roms and ALL respective versions since July 2011 therefore I do speak by personal extended experience
I repeat once again, in the conditions you mention leave the phone as it is. If you want to do something just root it and that's it.
as a matter of facts i had my phone with so many rooms that i can even say how many but if u want stability i recomend oxygen... if u want stability and good looks use miui 32...
last .32 miui that i used was from miui portugal in english and nothing to say about that...
battery for 2 days and all smoth...
but my phone is weird... he can take almost every rom and be usable...
The issue with miui pt versions it's the cam quality that is horrible. It's just this detail that it's not very good. The rest it's perfect.

Hey everyone, back for an update and some other steps. basically, he got frustrated with how the battery so he went out today and bought the newer huawei. Reading eveyones comments here i think its due to the ammount of apps and being on froyo hasn't helped any thing, but anyways its now my new toy to play with. So far, followed the link i posted in the first thread, rooted and installed the latest CWM (v5). I'm now a little confused when it comes to the get the pink screen back, should i follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490 now before flashing a new rom or afterwards?
Again thanks for all the help, I'm almost done bothering you all for now
Edit: Reading on some ROM's and the comments above, i should install B518 stock ROM then flash the bootloader fix from the thread posted above then i can install other ROM's? If so where can i get the stock B518 ROM and how do i know which version I'm using? Sorry and thanks again.
First, which rom you have now?
You can find the version from settings -> about phone.
If you have a newer than 518 version you need to change the bootloader with the one from 518. If you have 518 you don't.
Also check which version of kernel you have(is on about phone also)
If you have a 2.6.32 version(which mean that you have froyo rom), you can flash only roms with this kernel version. If you have a 2.6.35 version, you can flash roms with 2.6.35 kernel or 3.0.8(as aurora ICS).
Basically its a stock froyo rom, im looking to get to gingerbread by the end of tonight but currently im stuck on the huawei splash screen after i did a data reset in CWM. Can still get to CWM though.
What rom you want to flash now?
A custom gingerbread based of froyo's kernel 2.6.32 like CM7.2, oxygen or miui, or the official gingerbread?
Im not particularly bothered, something that won't brick the phone and is stable. I'm more worried as to why it wont boot now after a data reset.. any suggestions for that?
You can use adb and logcat function to see where the problem is. Usually when some errors prevent device to complete the boot proccess, this piece of code loops. You need to have some knowledge of programming though, but maybe is something easy.
and now i have blue screen.. what can i do? or have i bricked it?
Where you have blue screen and what you did?
Usually blue screen instead of recovery mode, means that the recovery.img is deleted from .cust_backup/Image folder
basically, i formatted something, reboot and soon as the huawei logo appear a blue scrren rolls down. when i plug the phone into the pc it detects a folder but its empty, the phone is detected as qualcomm now..
Yes, seems that you formated the partition which has the Image folder with all system images. So, now you need to flash an official rom. You can either flash a froyo or a gingerbread rom. You can avoid this only if you previous had take a backup of this folder. In this case just put all files in (empty now) image folder.
Hey
My brother has a Defy, and I have a Defy+. He strongly recomended me to install CM on my Defy+, and after I saw CM7 on his Defy I really grew to like it.
The Problem is, I can't see an official CM support for Defy+:
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/devices/motorola-defy
As the link states: "Official CyanogenMod support is ONLY for the Motorola Defy, NOT the Motorola Defy+. "
So what are my options instead? I'm looking for a good rom, preferably android 3 or 4 that must support Hebrew.
Currently using rooted stock 2.3.6 rom.
Thanks in advance!:victory:
here to you: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jordan_plus&type=nightly CM7 for Defy+
anyway, good roms are CM9 by Epsylon, Wiui, CM10 by Quarx and Xperia D. look in the development section
I'm about to do this for my Defy+ for the first time too. It's got the latest firmware update pushed out from Motorola (BL7?) so I'm following the gizmolord tutorial for rooting it (not allowed to hyperlink yet) for rooting it. If anyone has the time for checking it for errors I should be aware of I'd be most grateful.
Anyway, my real question for this post is: is CM7.2 for upgrading Defy (not +) and CM7 effectively the same thing for Defy+?
Edit: Another question: how do I back up (save an image of - "nandroid"? my phone before I wipe data/factory reset the phone, which seems to be required before rooting it?
I realise there are CM9's for Defy+ but I reckon I'll wait around for JB+ (10.2?) to get to a stable point before I go with moving away from Gingerbread.
Thanks for any comments/answers in advance.

Firstly if gizomolord's tutorial is a program that roots the device for you, don't use it, because BL7 devices (I'm fairly sure yours would be) need to be rooted manually. You can follow the instructions in my signature under 'Status' for the files and instructions needed to root your device.
Secondly, I'm not quite sure what you mean in your first question. CM7 is Gingerbread and CM7.2 would just be a 'more up-to-date' version.
About the nandroid, from what I know you can only perform a nandroid after rooting your device. As for preparing to root there are a few things I did:
You can back up your SMS and Call Logs using programs from the Google Play Store. During rooting, your sdcard will be safe and so you can back most thing onto it.
You can back up your contacts to Google.
You can remember what apps to download from the Google Play Store once you have rooted.
That's all I did. There may be a way to backup but nandroid backs-up your current ROM which means you need root to be able to do so.
I hope that helps you! And if you need any help with rooting don't be afraid to ask (plus I wrote instructions and added files to my spare DropBox which you can find in my signature)

Thanks very much for that z3ro. I did use your tutorial in the end (gizmodo's was similar, but less detailed) but since I'd downloaded their sbf's I used those. I also did the sms and call log backing up. There is, as far as I can tell, no way to make a backup of a rom of a device that isn't rooted, so I just gave up on that idea and stepped into the void. It all worked a treat. I'm feeling so confident now I think I might try Jelly Bean

Thanks z3ro. Here's one for you: I've got Quarx's CM7.2 running, after trying CM7, and both go through battery much faster than stock Motorola - which had a nice battery saver setting, not available in the CM's.
I've read that this is as much about which kernel you're using as anything. So:
Can I flash a new SBF without flashing a new ROM? If so, is it advisable? and
I can't figure out how to do a nandroid backup. I've got 2nd init installed, but cant see the option anywhere in its menu. Does a nandroid backup back up just the ROM and settings, or those plus the SBF?

Ok firstly I'll answer about nandroid backup. Once you have 2ndInit install, you'll encounter a blue led on bootup. If you press Volume Down then you'll be taken to the bootmenu screen. From there select recovery and then custom recovery. You'll now see the CWM recovery screen. Now select backups and restore and this is where you can make your nandroid backup. Select backup all and let it finish.
As for battery drainage, I've been using CM10 with now problems at all. In fact my current configuration Quarx's CM10 (17/02 build) and JellyX Kernel (22/03) has been exceptionally good! Very stable, just may take a few tries (as in a couple of flashing attempts) to get it to boot up
Now with sbf's you should really note that there is a stock SBF (which you can locate a list of in the Development section) and if you own a Defy+ there are some sbf's needed to root your phone.
As far as ROM's are concerned, to change from one ROM to another you need to perform a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) then you flash the ROM and gapps and the another cach and dalvik wipe and then reboot your device.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by flashing a new sbf without flashing a new ROM. All I can say is: you use the stock SBF to restore everything (unroot + go back to stock android version) or it is used, as I said, to help root the Defy+. ROM's do not require the flashing of a new sbf. Kernel's don't require you to flash a new sbf either, however it is suggested to reflash (or just flash) the ROM that you want to use.
------I'll link something here in a bit-------
EDIT: Here! <--- just a general flash procedure if you need
If you encounter any problems along the way, restore to stock SBF, re-root, install 2ndInit, and flash again.
Hopefully that answers most things

Thanks z3ro. On reading this I realize I'm confusing SBF's with kernels. An SBF is kernel + ROM? If so, when I flashed to CM7.2 I flashed kernel as well? Quarx's instructions say flash Froyo (which I didn't do, having a Defy+) then install the ROM.
BTW, my phone's rooted, hence having CM7.2 loaded.

Yeah I had a feeling you confused the two. Well an sbf (I guess) is a kernel+ROM. Ok having a defy+ makes things a lot easier because that's the model I have as well.
Quarx's nightlies come with their own kernel so when you flash them, the install the kernel. (Go into phone settings > scroll down to the bottom and click on about phone > check to see if kernel version is there, it should be the same as your current ROM)
Then again, I went straight to CM10, but I'm fairly sure CM7 should be the same.
Well since you are rooted, I just recommend performing a nandroid backup, then flashing whatever ROM (and Kernel if you want) you feel comfortable with.
I recommend Quarx's 18/03 build for CM10 (before his experimental wi-fi builds), ParanoidAndroid 2.5.3 (however there hasn't been much activity of late), and the combination I mentioned earlier of Quarx's 17/02 and JellyX 22/03.

Hey
My brother has a Defy, and I have a Defy+. He strongly recomended me to install CM on my Defy+, and after I saw CM7 on his Defy I really grew to like it.
The Problem is, I can't see an official CM support for Defy+:
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/devices/motorola-defy
As the link states: "Official CyanogenMod support is ONLY for the Motorola Defy, NOT the Motorola Defy+. "
So what are my options instead? I'm looking for a good rom, preferably android 3 or 4 that must support Hebrew.
Currently using rooted stock 2.3.6 rom.
Thanks in advance!:victory:

This. I love it! No more radical battery drain, and seems really stable. Nice clean UI too
I was expecting JB to be a pain to learn, but on the face of it it seems to be quite similar to GB, at least in UI terms.

I'm glad you fixed your wi-fi drain, it seems that problem is quite evident in CM7 builds

I don't think it was related to wifi. I hardly ever have it on.

Hey Bro,
I want to install CM10.1 too....but i am confused which link to download and each link shows multiple file. Also if i install CM10.1 how much my internal memory will decrease? Since originally we are having 1.2Gb in DEfy +. What are the things that not working in the version that you installed??
Thanks in advance.

Go for CM10, I would not suggest CM10.1 for you yet. The multiple download link each have a date - correspond each date to the changelog on Quarx's thread and choose a stable one (NOT and experimental build) - I suggest 18/03 for you because you don't seem too familiar yet.

does cm10 quarx 18/03 has major bug? eg: battery drain,connectivity problem etc..
currently on cm7.2. wish to upgrade to cm10..
I'm rooted running a good TW rom at the moment but I have always preferred and ran AOSP roms. So I want to flash Liquid's rom but keep getting error getprop"ro.bootloader". OP said to look for updated bootloader firmware, I have looked for two days and can't seem to find that file or the solution. I am on OUDHS recovery and have tried TWR also but both give me the same error. I have successfully flashed CM10 but I can't flash most of the other AOKPs, I've seen a few others post similar results but no one has stated a sure fix. It seems hit or miss some can flash some can't. What am I missing?? If there is a updated bootloader where would I look to find it? Thanks

I believe the latest OTA has an updated bootloader, but I wouldnt take it at this time as the devs are still sorting through it. Take a look at some of the MF9 (I think) threads. Not sure it would solve your aokp issues
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I have already run the MF9 update with updated bootloader, it flashed fine but when I tried to flash the ROM again it still gave me the same ro.bootloader error. I'm just going to hang loose and let the developement catch up and then give it another shot later. There are still OTAs hitting with tweaks so no boubt those will end up in rom updates anyway. I don't want to bother the great developers this early in the stages, its all to new yet.
Q&A for [AOSPA 4.4.4 KTU84P] ParanoidAndroid 4.4+ G2 [06/28]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
One simple question.
The builds from aospa are 4.4 sources or 4.2?
Thanks in advance.

@houstonn was originally developing but stopped in June due to computer failures which is being resolved soon. His last build of 6/29 was on 4.4 sources and required the modem of stock 4.4.
The current builds supplied by @ayysir and now @jakew02 are on 4.2 sources which would require that specific modem.
Which ones exactly not sure as I am not familiar with every carrier version only sprint.

It has been stated in the ROM thread multiple times that you must use a 4.2 STOCK JB MODEM for best compatibility. Any other modems you guys use is solely at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. @MeestaAytch they should know what to use at this point but thanks for clarifying again for those who don't want to search before posting :highfive:
@jakew02 no problem. I know it's tiring repeating the same information but from what I've seen in my time using XDA.... It'll never change.
I'm glad you devs still continue doing what you're doing for us though knowing this nonsense goes on.

A few bugs
Hi,
The thread is too big for me to go thru it post by post so I'll just make a few questions and hopefully I'll get some answers. I flashed this ROM and it was working flawlessly. I only found very few bugs like not being able to set up multiple recurrent alarms because the app would freeze and there was another bug but I can't remember. The problem I find frustrating is with the text messages or SMSs. At first I was not receiving SMSs. Then I was receiving them but I couldn't send any. I returned back to stock VS98024a and I'm still having the same problem but at least I'm getting a pop-up when "General problems: cause code 96". I have googled this several times in several ways and can't seem to find a solution, not even on the Verizon site or help app on the phone. I need help with this please.
How to keep the back home task manager buttor on the screen?

From where you get Dorimanx kernel for AOSP ROMs ?
My phone says it can't connect to the camera, and the torch. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Please state exact filename and order of wipe/flash.
Just tried the test build for D802. Booted at LG logo for a while then screen turned black with 2 red lines and one green vertical line. I was so sure I was gonna get the permanent black lines but then again I read that the damaged screens are caused by already faulty hardware under high heat.
Anyways, I panicked and then I restarted the phone by pressing power + down. Then I got the weird boot sequence like everyone above describes and it boots into the OS. Thank God I got no black lines! However it wasn't stable for me as the phone rebooted itself twice within the span of 20 minutes. I'm going back to 13/10 build for now.
Any d802 users flashing latest twitter released rom can you please report here if jdi or lgd and whether or not weird logo appeared?
I'm on jdi and had weird logo appeared after clean flash. I did not let the rom boot and reflashed previous version without further problems
FYI, houston's latest works great so far on the VS980. Clean flash, using RenderKernel R24.
So i have the vs980 and i currently have xdabbebs rom on my phone, but i want to try PA. Can someone explain how to flash a rom over another rom, or is there something else i should do. i tried it once by flashing with twrp and it just hung on the lg sreen. luckily i had a back up

Migrating from one ROM to another is for me like this:
1. Nandroid backup
2. Wipe all except sdcard (yes, wipe system)
3. Flash new ROM
Be sure to always have a Nandroid backup!
And always check what baseband (aka radios or modem) your new ROM is requiring.
-___-
If you are UPDATING your current ROM, I.e. flashing a new build of let's say paranoid android, you can flash the updated file right on top of your old system. That is called DIRTY FLASHING and it's actually risky, so please, always do Nandroid backups!
-____-
Peace
Thank you for the reply. I tried doing it the way you suggested again and i get the same results. I wipe everything that is necessary and when i try to install the zip it immediately says failed

Ok
I would;
Update my custom recovery to the latest
Download recommended baseband, to be on the safe side
Redownload the ROM
Check the md5-checksum
Retry to install it
Flash the recommended baseband, better safe than sorry
Never give up
Peace
Hi guys i just flashed the newest build and out of all the roms i have flashed i have never seen this problem. After i flashed i have no sim service at all. Done a clean install still no good.
